My Opinion - Blog Posts

The trailer for the Smurfs 2025 movie taught me what real disappointment is.

so glad someone finally said it

Xxxmm I believe he hates beings in a world created by his father. He thought that these creatures are not worthy to exist on these lands. He dreamed of genocide, but then Koko intervened and was able to briefly measure the fervor of the devil. Koko is a little man and he's a God Death! However, she sent him humanity and it embodied in Lloyd's. A piece of humanity and only with the help of his wife! However, if she dies or Lloyd, Garm will finally lose his mind. It's just going to be terrifying. All the horror of darkness will descend to the ground and kill the innocent as they are. But he won't care how the "war" is going to go. His task will kill everyone and himself including. After all, darkness without light will not be able to narrow down and will die as history. It would be interesting to see that.

Few people remember that our darkest of monsters were human too. Some were broken in some way. Some thought that they were doing the right thing. Some just lost too much to give a damn anymore. Of course their actions are to be condemned.But for some, there is understanding that can be gleaned. Is there any justification for Garmadon's actions? What is the purpose in power? Why do need all this?

Ultimately that is true. Most villains are actually just broken people who society didn’t bother to care for and just let them go through a broken system. World domination to them actually makes sense in the terms of fixing said system themselves and hoping no one else would ever feel what they felt.

Other times it’s a villain losing someone and the villain just decides to watch the world tear apart from the inside out. They see how awful people are and watched as no one cared about that someone they loved dearly and now the villain wants them to suffer just as much as they did.

For Garmadon though? I came up with a headcanon long ago with a friend of mine on DA and proceeded to add on to it.

We don’t know too much but we do know that Garmadon treasured Lloyd more than anything in the world, loved him more than life itself. So when he saw Lloyd gone and he couldn’t even see his wife in the distance, he broke down. So I told my friend that maybe Garmadon thought if the world was as dark as him, he’d find Lloyd because that’s his little light of his life.

After Garmadon had been cured, he always thought the happy ending he had before him was just a dream. He would’ve been used to that idea since back in his corrupted days, he dreams about the life of being with his wife and kid but then he’d wake up and be all alone. So the idea that he could one day wake up again and not see his wife next to him scared him.

My AU Garm would suggest that his Oni half was thinking something wasn’t right with Lloyd and it wanted to get rid of him (and knowing Oni mythology doesn’t help his case any) which lead to Koko running away from him with Lloyd while Garm was fighting on the inside. When he came to, he mourned at them leaving and basically shut down. The venom took advantage of that negative state of mind and he proceeded with the idea of taking the weapons as his.

We could go into how if Garmadon took over the first time around perhaps Ninjago wouldn’t have to worry about being attacked as often because one, he may have not been the favored son, but he is still the son of their creator. We saw how much power he had being manipulated into gaining it, imagine if he had free will and his human mind in tact. Two, who’s going to go up against an Oni-Dragon hybrid who’d rather seek his family’s safety over vengeance, domination, or just about anything else?

And he probably would’ve had allies, including but not limited to the Serpentine, Skulkin, Time Twins (if he manages to get on Krux’s good side first), Elemental Masters, the Royal Family, etc. Basically anyone else except for Chen and Clouse, because Chen screwed everyone over in the end and he wouldnt look for a repeat and Clouse wasn’t looking to change his mind any time soon.

I don’t know too much about Movie Garmadon as much as I used to admittedly but I think he got the whole four arms thing before he decided to be a “villain” which suggests that when everyone, his friends, acquaintances, strangers, saw how he looked different, he got treated different. He was so used to the whole “monster” title that he decided to become the monster everyone thought him to be... Koko just happened to not change him, but to come to an understanding him just as much he did to her. @dinogaby Can you confirm this headcanon for me?

What I think for MTP Part 2?

-Fred backstory of course

-more stories with Louis being the leader

-more depth into the holmes brothers backstory

-might as well have a backstory reveal of the two blond brothers

-maybe JUST maybe we get a nation wide problem like (WW1)..?

-William being alive *might* get exposed

-smth will happen to the Queen?

-I can smell some angst

-Milverton's comeback

-some clashing opinions about William, whether he should be alive or no

-and please oh please let William reunite with Helena(I can explain this if you want) and those other people he had good connections/helped before(like the Burtons and his past students). I need smth emotional to break me in half...

-more sherliam?

Not gonna update anymore because I wanted to stay loyal to my predictions before Part 2 was released

guys don’t come for me but i don’t like Leo Valdez all that much also he’s not that cute

MY OPINION ON LMK SEASON 5

SPOILERS AHEAD

SCREAMING KICKING CRYING DYING AND FLYING I JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT IN CHINESE OF COURSE.

Nine-headed demon, I wasn’t a fan of the bird form ,But like I loved it man the nine-headed demon is officially one of my favourite characters I swear him and Macaque had beef.

Speaking of Macaque I loved him sooooooo much this season not that I don’t usually love him but EH WTF happened to his powers??? Why did they change colours did he really make a deal with someone??? But like I love how he literally used most of his power to break everyone free then just rolled on the ground.

Wukong now…..My man, my angel that hoop brought back 50 types of trauma and the fact MK used the migraine spell on him killed me….I understand why but it still hurt. And the 100 eyed demon reminding him what he did to Macaque broke me and I cried.

Li Jing….He redeemed himself a little at the end but I still wanna beat his ass into next week, how dare he treat poor Nezha that way and he put the hoop on Wukong then he trapped Macaque in the Pagoda.

Nezha don’t have much to say other than I really don’t like the way his mech looked like in the show it looked plain no hate to Wildbrain love them and can’t blame them for this considering they’re used to 3D animations and have other things to work on as well. But I loved Nezha as always.

MK…..No but like I’m still trying to figure out this kids’ hair colour sometimes it looks black then brown then both and I’m sitting there like wtf and then him going into his monkey form only for it to be brown, Anyway loved him a lot but am still depressed for what he did to Waking but it’s understandable. My guy also opened Pandora’s box….can’t wait to see more of that next season. But like c’mon whoever writes the script have got to give Mk a break.

NuWa….Here’s the thing I don’t really like or hate her she’s just this mutual feeling, no hate but I wasn’t really a fan as to how her face was animated, it probably just me but it looked a little off, I liked her snake body though and the idea of reincarnation is cool af.

Red Son…my baby needs more screen time

Sandy, they did wonders for him made me love him more

Pigsy was perfect absolutely loved him loved his relationship with Mk good father and son.

Tang I feel like he needed more screen time but I loved when he was on Pigsy’s back when they were climbing up the mountain.

Mei…poor girl was worried about her friendship with Mk wondering if there friendship was disappearing, jackfruit duo is amazing.

The hundred eyed demon wasn’t my favourite though he did manage to remind Waking about what he did to poor MacBook (Macaque) and also traumatised everyone else with their deepest memories.

My overall review of the season was 9 out of 10 this is my opinion I personally loved it and didn’t mind the animation other than NuWa’s Face the animation hit perfectly right when it needed to and the script was amazing all that matters is that the story was good so what if the animation isn’t the same the story was there and I would watch it again. Don’t go hating Wildbrain as I said before they’re amazing and getting used to a new animation style. I just can’t wait for the rest of the season to be dubbed in English. Again this is my review my opinion not everyone’s is the same so please don’t be hurt by this.

The good thing about drawing Time from Linked universe (other than being able to draw a cool character) is that you don’t have to worry about the eyes being symmetrical

I like this. I love deep diving into how my country in Hetalia connects to the actual country. I struggle with hating this nation and the fear of living in it. I imagine APH America loving DC but also loving everything else. He appreciated the back country and the small towns and farms. But he also appreciates the big cities and everything that comes with it. I imagine that he takes time to look at graffiti in back alleyways. He takes time to drive to the smallest towns in the country. He loves the Appalachian Mountains, and he loves NYC.

As someone from DC, much of the Hetalia fandom lacks the nuances of growing up in such a place; especially in regards to the character of America/Alfred. America/Alfred would have a secret service detail, many of the events he would go to would be high security events, he would probably LIVE IN DC or in the area, he would give tributes at US leader’s funerals and would be in the front row alongside the family and presidents, BE WOULD HAVE A MEMORIAL LIBRARY AT THE VERY LEAST, he would adore DC sports teams and would probably want to meet Jaiden Daniels irl, at the Easter egg roll he would dress up as the Easter bunny and run around with the kids on the White House lawn, AND HE WOULD HAVE A COLLECTION OF PICTURES WITH THE PRESIDENTS. That man would live and breathe DC and I STAND BY MY TRUTH!

FOOD DISCOURSE: reblog with ur opinions on guacamole, olives, mango, hummus, tomatoes, and cannolis

The highest compliment I can give a dress is: I'd kill to be absolutely railed in that dress to the point that my organs are rearranged and my head is empty.

Okay so basically I have two ways to approach this.

On that is just me being a petty sucker for love and the other a little more… scientific.

So what if we had them going all the way to ‚properly‘ - which I just assume is kissing and/or sex.

For one Kaz shows that he is starting to work on his trauma by holding hands with Inej at the end of CK.

And Inej with her backstory at the menagerie it‘s like: Bruh, don‘t get me started on how she must feel about sex!

So they both just start to tackle their individual problems slowly, which is absolutely fine (and possibly leaves room for a third book).

But they are just so darn hecking cute together I want them too smooch for pete's sake!

(As I said I just am sucker for love in a well developed story)

And so, the let us say ‚scientific‘ reason I think they are ‚only‘ holding hands at the end of CK (appart from a possible third book) isn‘t Kaz character but Inej.

Kaz is shown in his flashback scenes that he actually tried before to live without the gloves (with that other girl, sorry I forgot her name, that he was collecting fight bets with). He just choose not to, because working through his trauma was getting in the way of business and that was simply more important to him and his big revenge scheme. So I think if Leigh had just started to ‚rehabilitate‘ Kaz just a little earlier in the books she could have comfortably made him confident enough to go out ‚properly‘ with Inej by the end.

And that is why I think It‘s actually about her and her past as prostitute.

Idk how to explain this but at least to me, Inej might be trying to work through her history but even close to the end she is still terrified by the menagerie.

She is not like Kaz, who sort of choose to just go along with his trauma, she is still somewhat in it‘s thrall.

So that will just take a lot more time to unravel and she is only just beginning with it.

Sure she stuck her middle finger into Tante Heleens face but isn‘t that the exact reason why she wants to be a pirate and fight? To work her way through the trauma?

To become stronger? Strong enough she can leave the nightmares of the menagerie behind once and for all?

So in conclusion

*Clears throat after typing a lot of probably unnecessary explanation that got kinda of topic at the end*

Leaving aside my petty desires and also I my imminent need a Wesper/Kanej double date because fu** you, that is my jam!

*nervous sweating*

I don‘t think it would have been realistic for Inej to make that step, even at the end of CK.

Which is just a too long explanation of: I want it, even though it definitely doesn‘t fit into the novel!!

So I am glad Leigh didn‘t actually let them get together ‚properly‘ - and here come my big big hope - yet.

(Even though it would have been just so cute *silent sobbing*)

Also @arin-saintsforsakencity - no problemo ;)

Oh man so a couple days ago I met a high school teacher who had read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and she had the coldest fucking take I’ve ever heard despite being otherwise a very smart, sensitive person. I knew she had read them and I was so excited to talk about my close readings of metaphor and subversion/reinforcement of racial tropes and all the other stuff I’ve never quite managed to type up. So I asked her what she thought. And she said.

She said that she wished Kaz and Inej had been able to “properly” get together at the end of CK and I almost choked on my fucking orange soda. I’ve never been so let down by a literary opinion in my entire life.

I managed to argue with her a little but her heart wasn’t as in it as mine was. I’m so disappointed. So yeah if you hold this same bad opinion, this is an open invitation to hash it out with me.
