This one was hard to chose
(The art isn't mine)
Sometimes I have the feeling that we are missing something or many things, I already missed many stuffs in the past and it's late to came back, i don't want to miss anything again.
I really ask myself what happened with fandom culture after 2015, everything seems so distant from the early 2010's world.

We really are into anti-villains arc characters, hm?
I found something oddly familiar about the Onceler story being about descending into greedy and grief, it was the black haired anti-villain anime arc again.
Now the penny has sunk in for me, Germany has really always been alone and will be for longer
This is a snippet of a long one-shot I’m writing, imagining what would have happened if Germany was definitely not HRE and in fact now a day there were 3 Germanic brothers: Prussia, HRE and Germany (I’m NOT trying to be historically accurate here by any means). HRE would have gone back to Italy, and Germany would have met Italy as “his brother boyfriend”.
“Good Morning Germany” a musical, energetic voice grated against his ears, and Germany winced as he walked in the kitchen, realising the only other nation already awake in the house was North Italy.
Unusual, as the Italian was usually the last one up when he slept over.
Italy seemed to be cooking breakfast. The entire kitchen had a mouthwatering smell of croissants, there was a jar of Nutella on the counter, and the Southern European Nation was working on some scrambled eggs.
“Good Morning Italy” He replied politely, trying his best to not show how much he regretted walking in the kitchen at that very moment.
“Would you like some eggs?” Italy asked, adding what looked like bacon (Pancetta his brain corrected him, Italians do not eat bacon) to the eggs.
Germany wanted to say no, and was about to, when his stomach made a loud grumble. The food smelled amazing. Italy was not a perfectionist in many things, but damn he could cook anything.
Italy laughed at the sound. Musically, wonderfully, lifting his amber eyes to meet Germany’s light blue ones. A beautiful smile lit up his whole face. Germany immediately moved his gaze away from him. He could feel his cheeks starting to redden.
Italy did not wait for an answer, and quickly grabbed a plate from the kitchen cabinets to serve the German some eggs. Somehow he even pulled out freshly squeezed apple juice. “My favorite” Germany thought bitterly. He hated how the Italian knew him so well. But how could he not? He practically lived at their place.
“Here we go” Italy pushed a plate of perfectly scrambled eggs with pancetta and cheese, a piece of fresh baked bread and a glass of apple juice towards him.
Germany sat by the marble kitchen counter, eyes still avoiding the Italian at all cost.
“Danke schön” he murmured, starting to eat. Delicious.
“Why are you up so early?” He asked, sounding more accusatory than he meant to. Italy did not seem to mind his tone.
“Your brother has been working so hard this past month. He has been so busy managing all the EU meetings and the upcoming Holiday events… I wanted to spoil him on his first day off” Italy replied sweetly, turning on the heat under the coffee moka. “I’ll bring him his favorite breakfast in bed to start the day right”
Germany felt his own throat tighten, and he drank the apple juice quickly to think of any answer. “That’s…” He struggled for words “… nice” he concluded uncertainly. Gosh was he always this lame in the morning? “I hope so” Italy beamed, like he just complimented him with great enthusiasm rather than the monotone he used instead. The moka whistled. Italy poured 3 cups of espresso, putting one next to Germany’s apple juice.
“Well I’m off! Have a great run” Italy wished him warmly, pulling out the croissants from the oven and setting all the ready food on a platter before starting to head out of the kitchen.
Germany did not reply, but let his gaze linger on the retreating form of the Italian.
Really those short pyjama pants did nothing to hide his lean, long legs.
Lean, long legs that were walking straight to his brother’s bedroom…
He swallowed a piece of bread, feeling himself blush again and forcing his gaze back to the eggs.
He was not hungry anymore. Let me know what you think. PS- English is NOT my first language. I welcome all grammar correction as long as you’re polite about it ;)
Life’s been kicking my ass lately, but music always has my back.
That's so me-core
don’t ever talk to me or my 4500000000 niche AUs ever again
Ted is a 12 years old boy that have to plant the damn seed.
They both are hated, both are the annoying teenager mirror characters.
The difference is that Shinji is intentionally build to be dislikable, they are hated by different reasons, for example, one is hated for not having the courage to interact with people and "get the girls" while the another is determined to get his crush, one is hated for not having the courage to fight for the world when he is called upon to the point that he scapes by a selfish fear, while the other has the audacity to stand up powerful people to do what was asked of him even if it(initially)was for a selfish task. But they are still the reflections of the loser, Ted is accidentally that.
The thing in which both have in common is that they are tied to the desires of others, they are dependent on other characters to do something, everything they did is to the others so they could gain some validation (except that Ted learned to care about the trees in the end), because Shinji was abandoned since a child he is desperate for attention and help, combine that with his teen fase and he gets insupportable, Ted wanted validation from his crush and later he fulfilled the Onceler desire to talk with someone about the trees and vanish the loneliness, at the end he fulfills the wish to replant the trees, wished from the own Lorax, The Onceler and Audrey, in the end, Ted was just a tool to put into practice the wishes of the other protagonists, but still in a selfish way. These boys are just huskies from what they could have been.
Ted deserved to be hated because he wasn't intentionally meant to be like that, he started his task because of a selfish desire: to have someone he doesn't have, even in the Thneedvile demo he had a selfish objective which is to have something that nobody has, Tumblr hates him, I understand it, despite that sometimes i think you guys kinda exaggerates it(specially because he is a kid), but know what? I like him in a ironic way, he may be a degenerate but he is at least a honest character, he may be hateable but at the end of the day, we're just like him, a simp that does everything for the others for the sake of validation and to gain something in our selfish objectives.
Now, because the movie is so badly written, the characters suffer with flanderization and horrible execution, The Onceler and Ted are the most affected by that, i agree that his love task was a bad idea and that's why I don't ship Audrey and Ted, I prefer them as friends( to be honest I don't ship anyone in this movie, i've always been an anti-shipper with this adaptation), i think that Audrey works as a female avatar and she should have her own character arc(already did a post about her), but Ted is not a totally disposable character, he deserves his own character arc too, if Ted were the male avatar view and Audrey the female view(let's say I have a principle called gender balance), his arc would obviously being about he learning to care about the trees, he would start with the desire to have something he doesn't have but he suffers with the many consequences and even get hurt until he learns to care genuinely about the nature.
Get back really did make me feel sorry for George tho because although some of his issues could be self inflicted, overall it’s clear he felt both underestimated and overestimated simultaneously which must be frustrating because on one hand you want to and feel like you can contribute but you’re constantly getting shut down and on the other hand you feel like you’re being asked to do things that are waaay above your skill level but ur not being listened to.
All this being said I do think he was a bit checked out emotionally which didn’t make it easy for the others to communicate w/ him either like I keep thinking back to that moment where George is like “we need Eric Clapton” and John says “we need George Harrison.”
He just kinda disengaged bc he felt it was better to not try at all than try and fail and I can completely empathise with that but I wish he could see that John and Paul were trying to support him more than he thought yk
