Fandom meme: Magic Kaito~~

GASP. Magic Kaito, not DC? Interesting! Okay, here we go:

The first character I first fell in love with: Hmm… to be honest, I didn’t read any of Magic Kaito until I’d learned that Hakuba was in it, so… Hakuba. But if we’re talking characters that are Not Hakuba, then Akako! 

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Aoko. It took me a very, very long time to warm up to her, but I do like her now, quite a bit. It took writing her to really understand!

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:  Kaito… straight up Kaito. I have come to enjoy some interpretations of him, and I liked him well enough in the Magic Kaito 1412 show, but there are some freaking annoying things that he does and I HATE HIM IN DC. 

The character I love that everyone else hates: Hakuba, though I think there are more Hakuba supporters out there than I know. 

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Hmmm… idk I went into the series not liking Kaito, and most everyone else is pretty harmless in the series. 

The character I would totally smooch: Geez. Hakuba or Akako, probably. Though I’d be more likely to hug them. And then I’d hug Aoko. And Keiko. And push Kaito out of a window. 

The character I’d want to be like: Akako is a total bamf, though she does have that whole ‘evil’ streak…   

The character I’d slap: Kaito. Big surprise. 

A pairing that I love: Ugh… I guess I ship Hakuba and Kaito… at least when the Kaito is portrayed correctly… and there is character development… I also like Hakuba and Akako, but only in some settings. 

A pairing that I despise: Despise is pretty strong, but I’m not a fan of Kaito/Aoko… I don’t think he’s good enough for her, and I really think that the attraction is super one-sided. Despite being a perv, Kaito seems very demi at best, and treats Aoko more like a sister. Siblings and super close friends I can 100% get behind, though.

I’m sort of surprised that no one’s submitted DCMK as a fandom for me to comment on! But then, you all probably already know my feelings on it… I just wanted to complain about Kaito some more. 😉

Yes watch Miraculous the character designs are nice and it’s funny and I love it.

I really, really want to, but I’m not sure how. We don’t have TV here, just like… netflix and the internet. Obtaining shows is usually possible through other means, but we usually wait until seasons are finished to go through the trouble. 

It looks so, so cute… like a much sweeter version of a book that I was writing- Insane Jane –about a teenage detective and the cat burglar that she’s chasing, the Red Jaguar. 

Sob. Some day…

It’s so weird sometimes reading discourse about media outside of tumblr, because there is this barrier that comes from refusing to see social justice implications that are so god damn apparent. Like when I see people elsewhere saying over and over that Kylo Ren is hugely disappointing because he seemed like a scary badass and it turns out he’s a whiny kid throwing a tantrum, I’m baffled. Because that’s the point???

Because entitlement is terrifying and hurting people isn’t actually cool or manly. Doing horrible grimdark things doesn’t make you an awesome badass; most of the time it makes you a tantrum-throwing child fixated on your own preciousness. The movie just presents that without comment and it’s SO CRAZY to me how many people could watch that and come away from it without understanding what’s so evident. 

Like I’m sorry the last several years of television and movies have programmed you to believe that the white boy villain all in black is such a necessary and important fixture that he must be the coolest thing in the entire story, but the fact that Kylo takes his mask off when he’s facing down Rey is not a misstep along the way, it’s the fucking destination. The entire fucking POINT is that he is small and weak while she is awesome and strong. Being a shitty person doesn’t make you more grown up and more of a badass. Doing the right thing makes you awesome in the face of other people’s fuckery.

It’s just so strange that there are people who need to have this explained, I don’t GET it. It feels so fucking blatant.

hey writers

write-like-a-freak:

friendly reminder that you are allowed to write selfishly. Your writing is allowed to be self-indulgent. You can have self-insert characters. Your stories can be pure wish-fulfillment.

Sometimes we get so caught up in wanting to please the theoretical reader that we forget our writing is first and foremost for us. It’s our art, our self-expression, and we do it for our passion and our joy.

Use other voices and perspectives to grow your own perspective and bring more to your writing. But you don’t owe it to anyone to create art for them, the way they want it.

Your writing can be a love letter to yourself.
