Fanicy Fantasium

Is it perfect? Nope.

Was it emotional? I think so.

I just liked how everyone got to be a family together in the end and though I have some things that should’ve been handled differently I still loved the ending, the animation and everything.

I love the animation style, I love the concept of a video game world going boom if the hero wins, I LOVE KIT! I love Kaboodle! I love their voice actors they did such an excellent job! I LOVE GOBBLES VOICE! Arin did a voice that sounds like a noir film detective but he’s a purple Dino names Gobbles which wow, I’m not a total big fan of Flappers and his goofy voice but I do find the annoying dolphin charming and wouldn’t mind too much if he joined the main group. Just as long as he isn’t too annoying is all I’m saying. I also like how the seagull joined the gang.

NOW. ONTO SYNNTEX.

I LOVED FOLD AND MISS INFORMATION TOGETHER. They’re so fun! I BET MISS INFORMATION LIKES FOLD. She just loves antagonizing the poor piece of paper! They give off “I don’t have a crush on them but totally do” energy! I love how even though they get on each others nerves they work so well together (someone did say that Miss Information is a tutorial person while Fold is a cheat sheet which makes total sense if their task is to help the hero, such a subversion!) and I love how they have each others back like when Kaboodle cut Folds arms, Miss Information pulls up glue and when the jagged rocks fell Fold protects Miss Information, GOD PLEASE I NEED A WHOLE EPISODE OF JUST THEM! I need to see how these two meet! PLEASEE!

Like if the Abstracted humans really wanted too, they can come back?

Caine had all the keys. But not every key.

Kinger was able to literally DELETE THE MAN through his imagination! What if…in a moment of calm and clarity, they could come back by imagining themselves at peace…maybe they could interact with the main crew that way?

OH ALSO! Even though I’m not completely on board with the idea Caine was behind Kinger’s craziness and the abstracted humans…if HE WAS THOUGH.

If Kinger could now be semi sane in light and the abstracted humans came back because Caine is gone…THEN WOW.

Scratch created Caine. (With the help of Kinger.)

Caine is hung up on the fact he failed the first human to abstract which was Scratch.

Having images of Scratch’s character all over the circus as though…to make sure he lives on in some way.

I wonder what the heck these two’s dynamic was.

Scratch being the first to abstract haunts me as this character only showed up for like 10 seconds yet has so much to his character.

In a sense he’s like a tamer version of rose quartz from Steven universe. He basically haunts the narrative. The reason why he probably wanted to make a world with this ai that can create worlds, scan your brain and that ai is programmed to make these wonderful fun things like a circus, is because he was dying. He probably wanted to scan his brain and live on in a place he felt comfortable in, a digital place…

BUT THEN THE AI WENT ROGUE AND SUCKED NOT JUST HIM IN BUT ALSO HIS TEAM IN WITH HIM. Just looking at how he is reacting, he is obviously upset, because he got everyone else stuck there. Probably because of the tumour mixed with his suffocating guilt, he was the first to abstract…Which haunts the Circus including Caine.

Caine failed to make a human happy in his eyes, the first human to abstract haunts him. He keeps putting scratches icon on Hot Dogs, in Spudsy’s at the Ballgame…in the pendant that has NPC Abel looking at, longingly…

Caine is haunted by the fact…that Scratch was the first. Did he know that Scratch made him? Probably not and that’s probably for the better. If he did know that Scratch and the team essentially locked Caine away while focusing to work on another ai? Yeah idk if that would go over well.

Only TEN SECONDS on screen and only in this episode, Scratch is already such a fascinating character. I hope that in episode 9, we get to see the abstracted.

That show was PEAK.

I know it could be a bit clunky a bit when it comes to world building. (I didn’t read da books forgive me) BUT I LOVED IT ALL.

Flaws and all, the music was top tier, the deigns are CHEFS KISS and of course the ART! Amazing! The voice acting is also REALLY REALLY GOOD.

It’s like sipping soup for the soul, it’s good soup.

And it’s gay. I don’t know why.

But it’s gay, the hiding of secrets, choosing your own identity and going against society might have something to do with it, lol.

What if Apple White’s Dad and Raven Queen’s Dad…Liked each other.

HEAR ME OUT.

Idk my Ever After High lore like that so correct me and forgive me for what I’m gonna say but it would be kinda funny.

LIKE- what if Apple’s dad loved Raven’s dad, but due to their fates they could never be together, maybe they were close friends in school and his feelings for Raven’s dad never wavered and Raven’s dad is all but oblivious to his feelings.

Only after fairytale peeps can follow their hearts destiny does Apple’s dad confess his undying love for Raven’s dad and he would be like-

“Wait…What the fU-“

That’s where the first swear word would be ever uttered. They would be like divorced from their wives and I think both would be bisexual as they loved their wives but overtime they divorced because they became different people.

Snow White became FIXATED on the perfect image so much she accidentally nuked her marriage with her husband, maybe their legally still together but aren’t like TOGETHER for Destinies and Apple’s sake and then like the Good King would of course divorce the Evil Queen because, like reading the bio. WHAT THE FRICK LADY YOU ESSENTIALLY MURKED A PUPPY.

So yeah, Marriage goes boom, all the destiny crap they followed goes boom…then Apple’s dad slides into the Good King’s dms like “sup bbg”

And then the Good King thinks his friend is talking about a barbecue. Because DAD ENGERY.

I don’t mean to offend anyone’s ships or opinions or like that…I just thought it would be funny haha.

I want to go back so BADLY.

What I mean is that Bioshock’s atmosphere is enthralling to me. Roaming the halls of Rapture, those icy, ocean blues with whales swimming through New York City? All the while the city is falling apart, only the denizens of Rapture who lost their minds remain and the 40s songs humming their tune on repeat with their hint of Ryan propaganda.

I want to be in this world again.

I want to roam its halls once more…but without shooting anyone to DEATH. That would be nice I will not lie. To just…relax and having a walking sim of this period of Rapture where for a time, things were alright.

I crave stories, I crave games, I crave experiences like it. It’s…Serene to me.

Is it’s so gay and I’m here for it.

Optimus definitely pined over Megatron.

AT LEAST ONCE. Like he probably, most definitely missed the bot Megatron once was and would long to see him again.

I bet that if Megatron were to say-

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for all the things I have done.” And showed genuine remorse. OPTIMUS WOULD TOTALLY GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE. MAYBE LOCK HIM UP BUT HE WOULD VISIT FOR SURE.

WHAT IS THERE TO SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID?! It’s gorgeous, the music is on LOOP in both my head and on my phone, the character designs are CHEFS KISS, the characters are IMMACULATE, the animation is PERFECTION.

It’s just a really great movie and I’m lowkey OBSESSED WITH IT.

But a thing I noticed a lot of people saying when I was scrolling about Instagram looking at the REELS UPON REELS OF HUNTRIX AND SAJA BOYS…was people saying that both Zoey and Mira were BAD friends and shouldn’t have been forgiven because of what they did to Rumi.

HUH.

Before I RIP THAT ARGUMENT APART! I will just say from what I’ve seen it’s less than five comments, so try not to make it a big deal…I can though as I’m not only gonna talk about how WRONG that is but also about how WELL WRITTEN this movie is.

So basically the reel I saw on instagram was about how both Zoey and Mira raised up their weapons against Rumi and how Zoey only had TWO of her blades instead of her usual six and everyone in the comments were talking about how SAD this scene was and it is and I saw a comment that I will not lie, it grinded my GEARS.

It basically said something along the lines that Mira and Zoey shouldn’t have been forgiven and the only person that really accepted Rumi was Jinu. Even saying something like “No wonder Rumi feared telling them…THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. Which sure, you can say that it’s your opinion.

But my argument is that they were never even GIVEN A CHANCE.

Multiple times in the movie, Rumi had chances to tell them, when they all sat down in the couch scene for example, their makeup was off, they were being vulnerable…it would have been a great time to talk to them, TO TELL THEM.

But Rumi didn’t. I’m not blaming Rumi here, she has a lot of self hatred and she knows that with the SAJA Boys breathing down their necks that it was a bad time to probably drop that bombshell but I would argue there would never be a good time to drop something as heavy as “Hey guys, sorry for lying to you guys but I’m actually THE THINGS WE SWORE WE WOULD PROTECT THE WORLD FROM.” Like that WILL NOT GO OVER WELL IN ANY SITUATION. But she had multiple chances to but didn’t and she had her reasons why but so were the girls as they were under a lot of pressure too. By Celine.

Celine I don’t hate. I don’t like her but she is a good antagonist, not a villain like the Demon King, but she is someone who unintentionally set the girls up to fail.

She obviously held Rumi to the highest standards out of all the girls but Zoey and Mira still were held up by impossible expectations and standards too, to hide any imperfections and all, literally after Rumi fumbled the first Golden Live Performance and they all sit down, they all mention- “hehe silly Celine, but yeah no she is right hide your flaws.” They were held up HIGH, because they were supposed to make the Golden Honmoon, if not their world could be susceptible to demon attacks. They have hard lives too, being in the lime light AND having to sing and dance to perfection to reach the Honmoon WHILE ALSO FIGHTING DEMONS. These girls seem like they’re in their early twenties so DAMN.

What I’m trying to say, in their perspective they had the right to be suspicious and even scared of Rumi after finding out she’s a demon.

Imagine their perspective, Rumi has been pushing them to achieve the Golden Honmoon, then suddenly she gets all chummy with a DEMON (Jinu) and they are worried for her voice and her because she’s acting off, like she’s hiding something then after seeing Bobby getting kidnapped, SIKE ITS DEMONS, then BOOM…Rumi is a demon.

They don’t know what to believe and I won’t lie, watching that scene. I would’ve reacted similarly to Zoey. I wouldn’t want to hurt my friend but Rumi was SCARY. She was scared and vulnerable but her demon voice literally shook the building. Mira has the right to be angry, Zoey has the right to feel scared while Rumi has the right to feel EVERYTHING.

I like how complex the story is, because I see no wrong sides here. Rumi should’ve told them but she was groomed to believe that she was WRONG and the only way to right that wrong was to achieve the Golden Honmoom and Zoey and Mira were probably taught by Celine that all demons are MONSTERS.

Celine is the true cause of all this discourse because she couldn’t accept who Rumi was. She was a hunter but also a demon, she LEGITIMATELY SAID that when they lost Rumi’s mom, she said she would protect what was left her mom’s legacy, not thinking there was a CHILD. That scene breaks my heart as she COULDN’T EVEN TOUCH RUMI’S CHEEK TO COMFORT HER. She couldn’t love all of Rumi. She couldn’t love her flaws, in her eyes Rumi’s flaw was her demon side, but that isn’t a flaw…she was just born that way and that’s okay.

Celine is such a complex character because even though we DON’T KNOW all the details of her and her sisters (I’m assuming the Sunlight Sisters are actual Sisters) we know she probably pushed her sisters away because of her need for PERFECTION. She pushed that onto Rumi, Mira and Zoey…

Because she couldn’t accept Rumi, Rumi couldn’t accept herself and that caused her to keep massive secrets and that caused a rift between HUNTRIX. It’s so complex and complicated and…beautiful.

To see that it’s not cut and dry and black and white. It’s more grey, that’s what I love about this movie. It’s AMAZING and that’s why I love This is What it’s Sounds Like, because it covers all those JUICY WRITING AND YESSSS.

Hopefully this makes sense, I’ll probably rant more about my headcannons about Celine, the Sunlight Sisters and even Rumi’s mom and MOREEEEEE! Because this movie is a GOLD MINE of detail and crafted with such love.

It’s the closest thing to perfect even with all its flaws…see what I did there-

I must say, I love me a doomed yaoi, where everything is on fire including the pants.

I MEAN COME ON. Fighting someone and wanting to get revenge on them that goes over the five year limit, it gets a little gay…like SUREEEEE MEGATRON, YOU WANT TO KILL OPTIMUS. Then you see the guy miss Prime SO MUCH after he FAKE dies, like in Armada!

THEN YOU GET THE “my partner broke up with me so I’m gonna write fanfiction that they’re stuck in a hell I created for them.” You wouldn’t do that with someone unless there was at least A LITTLE SOMETHING THERE, to still THINK about him even in your old age.

THEN WE GET THE TWO CAPITALIST THAT WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER BUT ARE COMPLIMENTING EACH OTHER WHILE DOING IT. Like Ryan said “omg Fontaine is a man of business like me.” To “okay this bitch annoying.” To probably dancing on his grave. That’s some petty shit and I love it.

Straight to the point. Serana.

I just want to talk about my girl Serana.

I remember playing Skyrim the first time and heard of the Dawngaurd, after I kicked Alduin’s ASS I wanted to go in an epic adventure again, so I thought the Dawngaurd was the way to go!

And boy was I RIGHT.

I’m so glad I was barely spoiled about the DLC and just saw her POP OUT OF THE GROUND LIKE- MY REACTION WAS LEGITIMATELY :0

Especially since she had an Elder Scroll! I was so concerned because well DUH THEIR KINDA LOWKEY IMPORTANT and I liked how she didn’t trust the Dragonborn right away, instead you have to earn her trust and that was awesome.

Lowkey she is AMAZING. I love Serana and wish there was more story based DLCs about Serana about IDK ANYTHING because she’s such an awesome companion!

What I don’t like is how my Serana legit DISAPPEARED. Like I can’t find her in the castle, SHE IS LOWKEY GONE?! I sent her away in a cave so I THOUGHT IDK THAT SHE WOULD COME BACK TO THE CASTLE?! Like bro what.
