Jason Grace Deserved Better

Jason Grace Deserved Better

*This is just my opinion. I don’t care if you like TOA

Like most fans, I at first didn’t like Jason too much. Compared to most of the main characters, Jason seemed pretty bland. However, after rereading the books and analyzing Jason’s character, I realized how interesting he is. All his life, Jason has always been the “golden boy” leader type without really exploring himself. After the HOO series though, Jason started exploring more of himself beyond people’s expectations. When I learned about him appearing in the TOA series, I was expecting more exploration and growth for Jason, but it was ignored and he was killed off. This made me very upset.

Jason had a mission to commemorate every god (Greek or Roman) and live his own life. It would’ve been great representation for people who have trouble with their identity. If Rick wanted to add something tragic to Jason’s story then he could’ve done something else. Or he could’ve prolonged his death after doing at least a bit of Jason’s development.

With his relationship with Piper, I didn’t care much for the romance in HOO but felt it was getting better when they both agreed to restart their relationship in BOO. When I read that they broke up, I was upset because the reasoning contradicted what happened in BOO, and Rick didn’t show us (the readers) why it didn’t work out during that time skip. And Piper moving on so fast after Jason’s death left a bad taste in my mouth. It was shown before Jason’s death that the two still had feelings for each other after the breakup. The timeline from Jason’s death to the end of the TOA series was around 2-3 months, which seems a bit short for someone to move on after their first love died. Maybe Piper’s girlfriend is a rebound but I’m still meh with Piper moving on at that time. Also note that I’m not upset about Piper having a girlfriend. I’m a part of the community and am all in for representation.

Jason not reuniting with Leo was so bad. He deserved to see him again as much as Piper. Coach Hedge assuming Jason broke up with Piper and being mad at him was so disrespectful. A big part of Hedge is him caring about the Lost Hero trio and it was disregarded because of drama. I consider TOA worse than HOO and non-canon. Honestly, the series made me not care about the new releases for the series. I’m only interested in the Nico story because he’s at least well-written and justice for Bob.

I’m thinking of writing an essay on how I would rewrite Jason’s character and development but it would take a while and I don’t have the time.

Random Lokius Thought

Random Lokius Thought

At some point in Loki (the show), I want Loki to accidentally turn into his Jötunn (start turning blue and growing tall) in front of Mobius. He gets scared and tries hiding since he was taught to keep that part of him hidden, which made him feel ashamed of it. Mobius immediately stops him, takes Loki’s face in between his hands, and says, “Loki, you’re beautiful.” Close to tears, Loki holds onto Mobius’ hands and leans his head against his. Since then, Loki feels more comfortable switching to his Jötunn form because he knows Mobius will be there as his support.

If anyone ever complains about Loki’s form, Mobius won’t hesitant to defend him. By the end of it, they’ll be too scared to even look at Loki for days. After the first time, Loki kind of hopes it’ll happen because he finds scary Mobius attractive.

OMG!

She looks amazing!

I’ve been feeling really bad mentally for the past few days, but this made me explode with happiness and almost tear up.

Having someone, whose content I really enjoy, take the time to draw something I created is a great feeling.

Thank you so much, @thezoe611

You captured her so well and I adore the headpiece you added!

Negaduck Put His Finger On The Trigger, Eyes Zeroed In On Stellar's Forehead. Stellar Grinned. "I'm Waiting."

Negaduck put his finger on the trigger, eyes zeroed in on Stellar's forehead. Stellar grinned. "I'm waiting." "Smug bastard," Morgana sneered. "Negaduck!" Gosalyn sounded desperate. She appeared on his other side of him, green eyes focused on his face. "Let's go." "He can't leave," Morgana argued, her harsh tone as she glanced at Gosalyn. "He needs to finish this. Here and now."

Nega-Morgana's design belongs to @criminalmutantsins , and I'm going to be honest, I wanted to draw your design for MONTHS but I never found the time nor the idea for the drawing, until a few days ago^^

Darkwing Duck (1990s Version): My New Obsession

Darkwing Duck (1990s Version): My New Obsession

Just started watching Darkwing Duck since the 2017 version got me interested. I actually really like it. I had to get used to the zany and not-so-serious hero storyline but it’s fun.

Not every episode hits like the one with DW getting cursed by witch doctors, who were depicted terribly. Some of the earliest episodes also weren’t as great, though it’s based on my taste rather than improper depictions.

What keeps me watching DWD is the relationship between DW and Gosalyn. Those moments always made my heart melt and tear up. My favorite moment was in the episode, “Quiverwing Quack.” DW was forbidding Gos from fighting, and she gets upset, mentioning that he’ll always see her as his baby girl. He quietly replies. “Because you are.” That made my heart melt.

I commend DWD for going this deep into adopted families especially since it was a cartoon. A lot of cartoons are usually wary of depicting “adult themes.” Now cartoons are finally able to be more inventive.

Darkwing Duck is not in my top 10 favorites, but I appreciate it and have a lot of fun watching it.

Really hope Disney pulls through on the reboot so this awesome concept comes back.

Comment your favorite characters and moments from the show! I want to talk to about the show with other fans.  😁💜

My favorite characters: DW, Negaduck, and Gosalyn. 

Favorite episodes: Quiverwing Quack, Time & Punishment, and Life, the Negaverse and Everything.

Which TMNT 2012 Turtle VA Do You Want to Meet the Most?

I would love to meet every voice actor in TMNT 2012, but if I had to pick the one I want to meet the most, Rob Paulsen would be my pick. I love all of Rob's voice roles like Carl from Jimmy Neutron, Peck from Back at the Barnyard, and especially Donnie. Plus, Rob is such a sweetheart and I just want to give him a big hug.

Greg Cipes is my second pick because I love Beast Boy, Mikey, and Kevin Levin.

Seth Green is my third because of Leo and Monty Monogram.

Sean Astin is last.

What Would Be Your Suicide Squad Dream Team?

I’m curious on what you guys imagined the “perfect” Suicide Squad team. For me, my dream team would be:

Harley Quinn

I love Harley! She is one of my favorite DC characters because of her craziness and whimsy.  

Deadshot

I’ve started liking Deadshot in Injustice 2 and the two Suicide Squad Animated Films(Assault on Arkham/Hell to Pay). I want to know more about him because his story is interesting. 

Enchantress

After seeing her in Injustice 2 and Suicide Squad, I grew really interested her, especially her powers and origin. I didn’t care for her portrayal in the Suicide Squad and want DC to try again. 

Killer Frost

Really liked Frost in Assault on Arkham animated film and really want to see more of her. 

King Shark

Watching King Shark in the HQ animated series made me fall in love with him. I’m so excited for him to appear in The Suicide Squad and hope he is portrayed well. 

Captain Boomerang

This guy is absolutely hilarious in the two SS films. I’m kind of meh with his portrayal in SS (2016), but am excited to see him again. 

Rick Flag

I like characters who are morally good, but is stuck in a situation they are against. I don’t know much about Flag and want to learn more. 

Katana

She is such a badass and her origins are really cool! I want to learn more about her sword and morals. Katana’s design is also pretty amazing. 

Black Manta

Injustice 2 and Young Justice introduced me to this villain and I actually really like him. His abilities are really cool. Like to see more of him. 

Bronze Tiger

First saw him in Hell to Pay and he reminded me of a sort of Batman who kills. He is a great fighter and his chemistry with Deadshot in the movie was cool to see. I want to know more about him. 

Count Vertigo

I mostly added him to the team because of how interesting his powers and origins. I liked him as a villain in Young Justice. 

I know that my list mostly has popular well-known characters, but I’ve always wondered what these characters as a team be like.

The list is long since half or most of them would die in the mission.

What about you guys?

😊❤️

My Thoughts on MK1 Hanzo

My Thoughts On MK1 Hanzo

(Spoiler Warning: Smoke’s Tower Ending is discussed)

I saw Smoke’s tower ending and was surprised to see Hanzo in the new timeline, let alone as a child. Although I’m open to how the writers will handle his character, I’m kind of disappointed that they went this route. When I learned that Kuai Liang would be Scorpion in the new timeline, I expected Hanzo to either not even exist or live a nice life with Harumi and their son. Instead, Kuai Liang is married to Harumi and Hanzo is much younger than them, which is so weird. I really hoped Hanzo would have a happy life and only be involved in the games through mentions at least.  Also, this decision paints Liu Kang in a bad light. It’s no secret Liu Kang made sure his allies had a good life while making some of his enemies’ lives (Shang Tsung and Quan Chi) insignificant to prevent them from turning into their past counterparts. So, it makes me wonder why Liu Kang didn’t think to give Hanzo a good life or at least watch over him. It’s shown that Hanzo is a starving orphan forced to steal for essentials. I have no doubt Liu Kang knows about Hanzo’s past since he met the older and kinder Scorpion in MK11 and Raiden has disclosed Hanzo’s past in MK 9. Plus when Liu Kang fused with the Hourglass, he most likely became aware of what happened in MK9 and MKX. He gave Shao Kahn the chance to be a better man by being the Kingdom’s general- a risk that didn’t pay off, yet didn’t give Hanzo what he always desired- his wife, son, and the Shirai-Ryu. It feels so out of character for Liu Kang to not make sure Hanzo had a good chance at life. 

If I had the opportunity to write Hanzo’s character, it would’ve been very different. I would’ve made him a former Lin Kuei member(he would be 5 or more years older than Bi-Han) who held the Scorpion title until he retired to Japan- where met Harumi and had their son. Hanzo would’ve also been the one to train Kuai Liang in his fire powers in the latter’s childhood. In his honor, Kuai would take the Scorpion mantle after Hanzo retires. Hanzo could also help Kuai and Smoke form the Shirai-Ryu but Harumi helps in recruiting and training while he takes care of their young son. 

Though, I still hold some faith that NRS will write the new Hanzo well. I guess I’m just disappointed because I wanted Hanzo to finally live a happy life where his family stays alive. He was one of my favorites in the MK9-MK11 era so I can’t help but feel a connection towards him.

Unpopular Opinions(Voltron: LD Edition)

Unpopular Opinions(Voltron: LD Edition)

Please respect others’ opinions. Thank you! 😊❤️

*Sorry if any of mine are popular. I don’t talk about my opinions with fandoms since they can be pretty toxic.*

Here are mine:

1. The Shiro clone idea was really bad.

I don't like this idea because the development "Shiro" went through between S3 & 6 did not affect the actual Shiro.

2. Voltron went downhill once Keith replaced Shiro as the leader.

I don't think it is Keith's fault for the show's quality depleting; this is a timeline of when quality decreased. But, I think Shiro was a way better leader than Keith since he has the experience and personality of one. Keith is more of a second-in-command, at least for me.

3. Allura and Lance should have never gotten together.

This ship was all over the place. First Lance had a huge unrequited crush on Allura, then he seemed to be moving on and she was in love with Lotor. The development was rushed near the end, and their chemistry was kind of awkward to me.

4. I wasn’t super upset about Allura’s death. Just the way it was written.

Allura never really connected with me. I really tried to like her as much as most of the main characters, but I couldn't feel it. Her death was sudden and lukewarm, especially the goodbye between her and the Voltron crew. There was this feeling of emptiness in this reunion. The circumstances of why she had to die was meh. It would've been better if the lions sacrificed themselves instead.

5. Klance is very overrated(still kind of ship it tho).

This ship was everywhere, and some Klance shippers I've seen were toxic which turned me off for a while. At first, I felt kind of pressured to like this ship since Klance shippers populated the fandom. Now, I genuinely enjoy the ship, though I wish other ships gained more attention.

6. Shiro’s second arm design was bad.

I loved his first arm and was super upset when the designers did a 180 on the second one. It was so clunky and distracting whenever it was in full view. The detached portion of it was really annoying too.

When it comes to robotic limbs, I want them to look natural with the body.

7. Having so many villains was not a great idea.

I've watched shows with a lot of villains and they mostly put me off since some of them were one-note and generic. I really didn't like when Lotor was the temporary villain; he could've been a great ally for the finale. Honerva was pretty rushed and boring; she would have been better if she was the main villain much longer than two seasons. Zarkon was probably the best one.

8. Compared to villains in general, Honerva wasn’t too bad.

Compared to a lot of villains (especially the minor ones), Honerva is okay. I don't think she was great though. She needed a lot more development and her redemption was so quick.

I didn’t have a lot to say since most of my strong opinions are about the last two seasons and I agree with most of the fans.

What do you guys think? 😊❤️

Launchpad Headcanon

Launchpad Headcanon

Mine: When LP finds the right person (I also headcanon him as pan and with Drake/Darkwing), he’ll want to marry them and adopt a lot of kids.

Launchpad is such a sweet guy that I think he would adopt kids of any age instead of having bio ones so kids in systems can have a good home. He would probably adopt 4-6 kids(don’t worry, Gosalyn is included).

Sylki Rewrite

Sylki Rewrite

(Note: Although I don’t like Sylki, I don’t have a problem with anyone who ships them.) Warning: Internalized Homophobia Mention

Two weeks ago, I binged the Loki series. To put it shortly, I loved it! Loki has one of the best character development I’ve ever seen. He moved past his insecurities and realized what he truly wanted- to be loved and seen. The time aspect was easy to digest and didn’t complicate or overinflate the concept too much. I loved the new characters, especially Mobius and O.B. Mobius and Loki’s chemistry was amazing and so natural, which makes sense since Mobius was his first friend. O.B. was lovable and so nerdy. I hope they both return to future projects. Though I didn’t connect with her as much, B-15 was a good addition, and would be happy to see her return. When it comes to Sylvie, I'm mixed with her. She’s well-written for the most part, but I didn’t like the Sylki romance in S1, and her attitude got irritating in S2 (I'll most likely write a separate post on it). Alongside thinking Loki being attracted to a version of himself is weird, their romance felt rushed and unnatural. I couldn’t really see Loki being attracted to/like/in love with someone that quickly and Sylvie looked like she barely tolerated him, even in the second season. Honestly, I think this romance was pushed by Disney instead of the writers, mainly because there was a moment in Episode 4 where Mobius rants about how strange the attraction was. I’d like to think that was the writers calling out Disney for how weird this idea was. I would’ve liked it more if Loki and Sylvie had a sibling-like relationship. I would’ve written it where Loki feels protective of Sylvie because he sees a bit of himself in her such as his anger, loneliness, and wish to belong somewhere. But, he also respects her because she lived alone and in survival mode, teaching herself how to use magic and escape death. In turn, Sylvie sort of resents Loki, especially when he mentions his relationship with Frigga, since he lived in Asgard and had a family while she lived alone and in fear. I would have a scene where Sylvie lashes out at him (maybe when he accidentally breaks the Tempad), calling him a fool for taking his family’s love for granted. On the other hand, Loki snapped and said how she had the chance to be her true self while Loki lived under Thor’s shadow and Asgard’s expectations. Maybe go as far as to mention how he felt he had to hide his bisexuality and genderfluidity out of fear of not being accepted. By the end of the argument, both realize how their pain does not absolve others and that there is good and bad in their lives. Other than the kiss scene, the scene with Loki trying to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains was great. 

I was so glad S2 left the ship behind. It was one of the reasons why I think S2 is a big improvement. I can’t really describe their relationship since there are moments when they get along but there are others when Sylvie is really standoffish and doesn't seem to like Loki. Maybe the closest description would be bickering siblings, which is close to what I wanted.

Did anyone else get nervous that there would be a Sylki kiss in the S2 finale? I was, especially when he was trying to stop her from killing HWR again. If they did, it would've messed with my enjoyment since there was no indication in previous episodes that they were continuing the romance. Thankfully, they didn't and the finale was perfect, even if it broke my heart that Loki will live alone for as long as he's alive. I wanted him to be happy with everyone.
