Guys I Finally Got The Leon Keychain I Was Trying So Hard To Get Him!

I’ve seen seen people talk about how one of the reasons Belos looks ever so slightly off is that his humanoid form doesn’t have those white eye circles that the other characters have.

I initially assumed that he was the only characters with his feature, but when I was rewatching the episode 8, I saw this.

Love how 90% of the time Loid is this stunningly gorgeous man, one of the most lusted after anime men in recent history, and then

Loid Forger: Sex Machine

When I was a kid, we went to the pet store to look for a fish, but I really wanted to see the mermaids. My mom kept trying to tell me that they didn’t have mermaids, but she got so tired of it, that she just sighed, went up to the college boy working at the store, and asked if he had any mermaids. he bent down to me and said “Oh, I’m sorry, but they’re sleeping right now.”

You ever see a take so bad that it keeps you thinking about it for months after the fact.

am I going insane? I swear to god, ever fanfic I read of feh treated Gustav like he was Ozai from atla, but I’ve gotten to his chapter, and he just seems like your standard distant father figure. Am I missing something?

Now that the Owl House has ended, I can’t wait to see people trying to be ‘not like everyone else’ and pretending they hate the show because it’s popular.

The ambiguity of the Wittebane storyline is like. The entire point. We only know surface-level details because that’s all Philip lets himself even think about. We aren’t supposed to know exactly how to feel or exactly what Philip feels about it because he does not acknowledge or express his thoughts/feelings about it. Because to do so in an honest way would mean coming to grips that it wasn’t a black and while situation like he wants to believe it was. And if that’s the case then his entire worldview, sense of purpose, and sense of self fall apart.

That’s how rationalization of bigotry happens: if you need yourself to be the hero no matter what you do, there is by necessity a disconnect between your reality and your experience/interpretation of reality. You aren’t a good person because you do good actions; instead, your actions are good no matter what they actually are because you, a Good Person™️ are doing them, and Goodness and Badness of a person are predetermined based on inherent qualities (i.e. being born human). This type of worldview requires no self-reflection, and in fact actively discourages it. (Luz questions/doubts herself consistently; Philip does not).

So of course we don’t know everything about the Wittebane story: the only person who even holds that information is Belos, and even he doesn’t acknowledge it. It doesn’t even really matter if he feels bad about killing Caleb or knows deep down that he might be in the wrong: he doesn’t let that guilt inform his actions, nor does he express it. The protagonists certainly don’t know about it, they only have his actions to go off of. And his *actions* give no hint of remorse nor do they indicate he ever intends to change course. We the audience do know a bit more than even Luz does about his backstory, and that’s because it’s for us—it fleshes out the story and drives fan discussion/interpretation, and that’s a good thing! But in this particular story the protagonists didn’t need to know everything about the antagonist’s backstory/motivations because the antagonist did not make it relevant to them. And yes, Doylist perspective and everything, this was an external writing choice made by real life people and not the character. But like. IMO it was the correct choice to make for this story!

“Ganondorf is poc coded and Rauru is basically a white man so this game is imperialist propaganda demonizing poc.”

Rauru is poc coded.

“Poc can be imperialist too!”

Yes, they can. So we can agree Ganondorf is an imperialist?

“No, see he’s depicted as the villain so only Rauru who is depicted as the hero can be the real imperialist.”

Even if Rauru was an imperialist, Ganondorf would still also be an imperialist.

“No see I want Ganondorf to not be the villain.”

Why?

“Because he’s a poc. I’m tired of seeing poc demonized.”

Me too but in TotK, most of the major players opposing Ganondorf are poc coded: Rauru, Sonia, Riju, Tulin, Yunobo, Impa, Pura, Robbie, Tauro… even though Zelda is white-passing she’s canonically mixed race. The villain may be a poc, but so are most of the heroes.

“No but see
