DMC Netflix Anime makes Dante stereotypical TikTok Wacky WooHoo Pizzaman and I hate Adi Shankar for this dumbification of Dante.
Dante's character is complex, since his time as Tony Redgrave. He has this shell around him to protect others, it was about depth to his layer beyond the surface.
I just couldn't help but remember how subtle 2007 DMC anime was and how every lil detail tells a whole layer of complexity to ponder upon by the viewers and think.
Be it ride back home after his childhood friend calls him a monster, or him calling Patty his daughter, or him commenting how an ugly heart will always out do a pretty face.
Whatever shit that is produced, it is deplorable.
Dante is an intelligent character. In DMC, his office is littered with Pizza boxes, beer bottles, and books!
He reads....people who believe in the dumbification of Dante might find it hard to digest. He is just subtle in his way of loving, caring, and every other emotion.
I somehow also dislike Capcom for allowing this Trash.

as someone who's been an active fanfic reader for this long, it blows my mind that formatting is still a work in progress for some. and no, this is no insult to anyone whose first language is not english, that's not what i'm saying whatsoever.
1) when dialogue is color coded.
"i can read," partycatty said. "i know how to use context clues for who's speaking."
"it adds definition to the character," you defend.
"no, it doesn't," partycatty frowns. "it makes me feel like i'm reading a children's book."
2) when dialogue doesn't have a paragraph break.
"it's not like it ruins the quality of the conversation, necessarily," partycatty said. "it just... ruins the flow of the reader's inner voice?" you replied, finishing my sentence.
3) use of (Y/N), (F/C), or (H/C).
i saw this a lot in my middle school wattpad days, 2013 is calling and wants your formatting back. just say "this dress is in your favorite color," instead of having me play madlibs!
4) assigning the reader's appearance.
no, i did not put my long blonde hair into a messy bun before jumping into my size medium sweatpants. i have a butchered mullet and i am fat as fuck.
5) disguising your oc x canon as an x reader.
im sure your oc is lovely, but i didnt make an entire character to insert into this media just to read about yours.
6) MISCHARACTERIZATION.
he would not fucking say that 😭 girl i'm bored, let's study the source material!
7) "listen to this song while you read."
i'm guilty of using songs and lyrics as inspiration, but i don't want to give you the aux while i'm trying to read,,, i don't need a soundtrack, but thank you.
8) emoji use & author interjections
i don't need sparkles around something ✨ for comedic effect ✨.... also, author's notes exist for a reason lol

spending a lot of time reading fanfic lately due to personal reasons, but the longer i scroll some of these tags, the more frustrated i get. i know damn well i'm no professional, i'm just a gooner, but i'm a gooner with standards. we can do better!
edit: some people are saying these are just my opinion. yeah. that's... that's why i posted it. i didn't have anyone particular in mind when i wrote it. i hate to use this phrase but if tiktok taught me anything, "bean soup theory" is a real thing 😭
god firefly had it all. the soundtrack. the way every costume looks like it was pulled straight from a goodwill. zoe and mal's whole deal. the terrible chinese pronunciation. sex work being the most respectable and unionized profession of the lot. spaceship cargo hold full of cattle. "shiny." teenage girl with mysterious unexplained psychic powers. old traveling preacher with a mysterious unexplained past. chekov's compression coil. "pretty spry for a dead fella." wash's slutty little hawaiian shirts. kaylee and inarra's whole deal. mark sheppard is there.
Jayne's knitted hat with the floppy ears. Wash's dinos on the dash. "I aim to misbehave". "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you." Zoe tucking Mal's severed ear into her bra strap. "I'll be in my bunk." Captain Tight Pants. Kaylee's party dress. Two by two, hands of blue.
(to the best of my recollection, it’s been a while since squid told me this story)
Monitor set ups come with multiple wireless microphones, and usually the lead vocalist has two; A main, and a spare.
So back during the Prequelle(?) tour, the set had two levels. In between a song i don’t remember and He Is(?), Tobias would go off stage, costume change(?), put his main microphone down, and go to the second level of the set where his spare would be already set up on a stand, waiting for him; so that squid could replace the main mic as needed.
One night, Tobias came off stage and put the main mic into a bucket of ice water. Not a holder. No biggie, he’s got the spare set up, right? Wrong. The spare started malfunctioning. So squid was fumbling with the main microphone, now waterlogged, trying to get it to work, as the microphone tobias has is shorting out.
I don’t remember how the problem was resolved. i think squid got the main microphone working again and gave it to tobias for the rest of the show.
another cool tidbit, in our company’s old building, the whole of ghost (from that era) has hung out in the rehearsal room. i have shit on the same toilet as the members of ghost. i miss that fuckass warehouse.

Nowadays x-reader fanfic is just smut and who's banging who on the weekend. I miss going on adventures. I miss fics having plot I miss them being about saving a kingdom or finding out your parents were some great inventors and now you gotta go look for that thing they made to save a life. I miss fanfics being goofy and about found family (especially when they're not all banging eachother) what happened to fluff 😔 I'm not complaining, I do love a good smut fic, but it's all I see nowadays. Everything feels the same

One of the first days i was at my job, he came up to me and gave me a bunch of stuff from tour he collected (the dude who introduced me to my boss told him i was a big ghost fan bc i mentioned the tour poster that was in the lobby LOL) He also gave me a guitar pick, and a cardi buck :)
My boss was the monitor mixer for Ghost back in 2018, and he told me that Tobias has a full size mannequin that the papa costume sits on when he isn’t wearing it. My boss went in to Tobias’ dressing room after a show to ask him something, went on for about 7 minutes, before he realized he was talking to a mannequin.
Oh, and he used to argue with Sodo about dress codes, since they all wear uniforms (including crew). My boss bent the rules and wore shorts instead, and it pissed Per off.
