“I like cat-boy-thingy better.”

These lines broke my brain

I have no idea what made me start watching AlRawabi School for Girls. I fall asleep to watching TV (I know, I know) & needed something to watch, it was pink, they're speaking Arabic, holy shit?? that's as far as I thought. Sometimes I like just choosing something at random, go out of my comfort zone or expectations. I didn't read about it, I just played it. I do recommend watching it, but wow. It hits REALLY HARD. I was not fucking prepared for any of it. It is not a light watch, it is triggering as hell, it just grabs you right by the throat & does not let go. And it does it all against near pristine pink backdrops, which is maybe my favorite commentary of it all, bc that is really what misogyny does in the first place, across the world. This is not my culture, I'm a white American man, but for whatever my opinion after watching it counts, I'll just say that I think it was fucking incredible. I think it showcased really well the nuances of bullying & all the forms it holds, from the teenage girls, their families, society. 'Bullying' doesn't even sound like a big enough word for it all. Violence against women in its forms. It's something you watch & just sit in absolute stunned silence by the end. It has fucked me up & I'm pretty sure that was its goal.

Me after watching the post-credit scene for Sonic 2 with my family who knows nothing about the franchise:

Me, ranting about Huntlow and the negativity of fandom 😊

I get so disappointed when people think that Willow is a "gray mouse" in the shadow of the "colorful Hunter"… that Willow is "boring and unremarkable" and that Hunter "deserves a better partner" and so on.

Do you guys really think that in order to earn someone's love, you need to have a "higher status" or a "decent image" or what? Not cool at all.

Listen, not every single character needs a tragic backstory and meta-storyline to be valid and to be perceived as an INDIVIDUAL in the first place.

Especially in real life, not everyone is a "bright star" and/or a "charmer"… And I'm not even talking about the fact that in the case of Willow, she just happens to be an UNPOPULAR CHARACTER, not an UNINTERESTING PERSON!

On the contrary, Willow is freaking awesome! Have you ever seen her beta version??? The girl has the concept of a badass anime nerd who gets squeals from hundreds of simps just by adjusting their glowing glasses with a grin in an epic battle, and I'm absolutely here for this.

But that's not the point! I want to say that such calm and "simple" people like Willow are no worse than "brilliant" and complicated ones like Hunter. Let us coexist without putting some on a pedestal and drugging others through the mud, thank you!

"Dana really just made Huntlow out of nothing!! Willow doesn't even have the proper development that Hunter has! She seems like nothing compared to him!" WHY CAN'T HUNTER VIBE WITH REGULAR PEOPLE, PLEASE TELL ME? WHAT'S STOPPING HIM??

Or is he a playable Sims 4 character who has been banned from interacting with NPCs???

This nonsense is reminiscent of the situation when Lumity officially became canon. Back then, some vievers were outraged that Dana didn't use the trope "Will they or won't they?" for this ship. It really seemed unrealistic to them that teenagers could just...get into a relationship in an instant! In our world, we can become someone's friend, lover or enemy in a very short time, without big plot arcs and fillers that could prevent this from happening. So what exactly should be wrong with fictional characters falling in love quickly??

Don't forget that only from our perspective, TOH universe is a piece of media with a script and a plot. But the characters themselves inside this very universe are ordinary dudes who live their lives carelessly and do not suspect anything about the 4th wall.

So please just let them be!

how many fandom’s do you like?

Oh, wow so many. Let’s start with different channels:

Cartoon Network: any show from the early 2000-10s to Craig of the Creek; plus any anime that was on it like Bakugan and Beyblade

Disney: early 2000-10s sitcoms, TOH, GF, Ducktales (2017), Big Hero 6/MCU, etc.

Nickelodeon: Spongebob, some old sitcoms by D*n Schn*ider, Henry Danger is the last show

For fandoms outside of TV, I’ve seen Camp Camp, Ever After High; used to watch Mianite videos; listen to multiple broadway musicals (Hamilton, Heathers, ITH, DEH, 21 Chump Street, Kinky Boots); watched some shows for stay at home moms like Roseanne, That 70s Show, the Goldbergs, the middle, etc.

I am not avid in book fandoms except for the Artemis Fowl Series (don’t speak of the film).

For the anime that I care about: Bakugan, Beyblade, Fire Force, Magi, JJBA, PPP Mermaid, Haikyuu, HXH, Ass Class, and Azumanga. There’s a few more but I really don’t participate in the fandom for those anime, I just watch them and move on.

This is just a handful of stuff I remember. I try to join fandoms often. I’ll try to put a full list in the tags

how long have you been in the bakugan community?

since it was released in America back in like 2007-2010. i never saw the full thing since it stopped being promoted after season two, like no trailers or nothing. but that was also when i started watching beyblade and yu-gi-oh, digimon, etc. so i wasn't really paying attention to bakugan anymore. but it was definitely the reason i love animes where the play some sort of game.
