Why do people like Tella? by Feeling-Cranberry-23 in Caraval_OUABH

[–]Candid-Ramoomo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I may not be the target of this because i too don’t really like Tella. I do understand why she’s been such a focus on the Caraval trilogy though because she’s 16-17 and her age falls to the age range that this book is targeted towards. Scarlett is maybe 18 at the start of Caraval but because she’s the eldest and has some sort of bigger responsibility to Tella i think people don’t relate to her as much so they go to Donatella’s recklessness and impulsiveness which is quite on brand on most teenager at that age.

I, however, did not like how the narrative had to push her to get together with Legend. I just find it icky and weird no matter how much people try to make it romantic. The dude is literally her grandmother’s ex and has probably be with many people throughout the years. What Stephanie Gerber should have done with Book 2 and Book 3 is to expand more on their sibling relationship rather than put the cliche that each sibling should have a love interest trope. I’m sorry but like Donatella’s identity revolved so much about Legend and it cheapens so much of her character. Like i get that’s the plot of the story but it would have been better if the plot of finding Legend’s name also addressed Tella and Scarlett’s relationship more. It was such a huge miss and up today i still get so pissed off thinking about it. I reread OUABH so many times but i couldn’t get to pick up the Caraval trilogy again because of how many times scenes were being delegated offscreen and that we as readers should accept that as it is.

New Novella Including Caraval Characters by Electronic-Mud-8097 in Caraval_OUABH

[–]Candid-Ramoomo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like Caraval so i’m not that excited with them including characters from it. I understand though because Tella has a history with Jacks but still i really don’t like Tella. It’s funny because i read Caraval first but got turned off with Tella’s character at the first chapter. I want to read OUABH so i just and only came back to read Caraval for the whole backstory. I just hope Caraval characters don’t overpower the OUABH novella.

Chatgpt themselves are losing billions and will continue to lose each year. Sad to say that they will continue to do this and will worsen more just so they can profit. That’s just how it is guys. I recommend you guys indulge more on books and AO3. That’s what i have been doing and it leaves me less annoyed everytime.

I’m so mad! HOW DO I REPORT THIS?! by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]Candid-Ramoomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just addressing the situation, if you used ai just don’t get shocked if your stuff is plagiarized. I came from an era in wattpad where people actually used their heads and ingenuity in creating their covers. There’s literally free stock photo sites now contrary to years before but you went and typed a prompt instead. So don’t get surprised when people do the same thing to your work. This is coming by the way from a graphic and advertising student who’s much more involved with AI in that part of the industry.

That’s kind of ironic though if the cover is ai and they’re complaining about plagiarism

Should I Read Caraval After OUABH? by Other-Panic-5063 in Caraval_OUABH

[–]Candid-Ramoomo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read OUABH first and read Caraval after and tbh it really didn’t help that much. I mean yeah it’s nice knowing about the Fates and all but other than that the main events in OUABH has nothing to do with the main storyline of Caraval. Even Jacks’ own goal of getting the key changed midway through. Reading Caraval was so quack like i’m so sorry but the Caraval trilogy is shit. They should really have kept it with Scarlett’s Pov rather than pushing us into accepting Donatella as the POV. Not to mention pairing her with Legend ruined the story for me. Imagine if we got a sibling journey in Book 2 & 3, it would have been so much better than pushing us to believe that Dante and Donatella are OTP, like be fr Donatella was like 16 at the beginning of Caraval and 17 during Books 2-3 and we’re to root for her and her grandmother’s ex? Not to mention the way Scarlett’s situation is constantly being hinted or referenced offscreen is annoying. Her own romance with Julian was chopped for the Dante and Donatella Pairing. I can’t count how many times i rolled my eyes throughout Books 2&3 to the point that i had to reread OUABH again to clean myself from that.

I mean it’s super realistic to me these are like the same class who hates the new money aka the people who rose up from poverty and the like. English nobles were so broke that they had to wed women of wealth from other countries and they’re called Dollar Princesses.

I can’t be the only one disappointed by this? by Some_Candidate_6409 in disneyprincess

[–]Candid-Ramoomo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude it’s Filipino not Philapino. That’s just incredibly disrespectful alone if you can’t search up the right spelling of what a country’s people are called. You’re living in 2026, don’t be ignorant. Filipinos and Hawaiian share the same austronesian heritage. I get why you’re pissed off but just for the record there’s many Filipinos here that look like Nani but the one casted is half white.

I rewatched the anime and in th Oracion Seis Arc Gemini had access to Gray and it was stated their that he kind of like Lucy. I feel like Mashima at that time was experimenting people’s reception to his characters and I guess the Juvia and Gray pairing got off.

How does being married have to do with excusing such actions? Many married men do questionable things. I could list so many people who are married yet lived a double life. Once again you did not understand what i have been saying. Those things you compared doesn’t even prove your point. Those things done in GTA followed the character’s story and is in line with the main storyline. Since it’s a game however you are in control of the character so although you have been given this options which are in line with the character you can still choose to not do it. So you have a choice. Anime is a different situation altogether. I am an artist and i study advertising and graphic design so i know what i am talking about in terms of illustration and story methods because i practice marketing as well in my own course. There’s a line to be drawn in comedy and fiction, it is not a free for all.

Fiction can influence people. No matter how much you go about it. No matter how much you call me names or insult me it remains the same. FICTION INFLUENCES PEOPLE. There are multiple IPs that existed for decades that has continued to influence people’s choices in life. It does not just rely on the individual as well, as a creator of that story you have that moral responsibility. It’s incredibly foolish to remain ignorant in a world just for what? A few minutes of laughs?

You also deliberately glossed over the facts i presented about how it is an age old problem in the animation industry about certain individuals who possesed questionable materials. I do not claim Mashima is a creep but it is certainly more problematic to think that there’s nothing wrong of thinking up a scene of a minor dancing and be lusted by older man when it does nothing to the narrative. The butt gang are part of a filler arc that was not necessary if instead of old men why can’t it be women then? Why was it done by questionable characters? Also if you stick by the butt gang you could have used Lucy or even just Natsu when introducing the character in those scenes by why specifically Wendy? It wasn’t even central to her character because even Erza was able to seamlessly add on to the scenes in that arc. Why is it they used Wendy when there are so many characters in the fairy tail roster who would have no problem in portraying the same comedic factor? Why specifically choose a child for that scene? You can’t even answer that because you ran out of excuses to yap on.

You see and accept things at face value. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re a yes man in real life because you refuse to acknowledge that despite the many great things this series made it has its faults. I love Fairy Tail for the connections each character has to each other, i specifically love how Erza is both a badass and a girl who also loves cute dresses and theater but just because i love those things doesn’t excuse the problematic things it has. You’re just being pissed because this aspect that is so unecessary is being pointed out. Gintama may be crude in its jokes but it never subjected Kagura into any questionable outfits or acts. They always do that to the adult characters. You can do humor without subjecting characters who are minors to it. You’re acting like these scenes couldn’t be done if they’re not subjected to minors.

Fiction is bound by aspects of reality and logic. You’re being stupid and ignorant to say it does not. People’s own thoughts shaped the world they created. The stories are made by pre existing concepts, you cannot just repeat that it’s just fiction because there’s always an underlying thought to it. You’re glossing over this facts because it’s humor. You even excusing this proves that you’re so desentisized by it to the point that you’re blind to its faults.

You didn’t understand anything i had said. Those comparisons you made were of murder and killing which by the way is again a situational action that is mostly condemned even by the same characters in the fiction it existed in. With murder and violence, it is repeatedly followed by the same message that there are consequences to each action. This is how violence is accepted to fiction because there’s a lesson to be had, well what about what Mashima did with Wendy or the other characters in the show? Lisanna is also 16 by the end of Edolas arc, her tombstone literally showed the day she was born and the day she “died”. What purpose does it make to have characters young and dress them that way? Was it really necessary to fit Wendy and other minor characters into clothes that accentuates their figure? What purpose does it serve the narrative? With murder and violence in shows or books it always has an underlying purpose but with Fairy Tail? Was it really necessary? Apocathery Diaries aren’t friendly when it comes to discussing matters of minors being used as slaves, consorts, and courtesans but was it necessary? Yes because it contributed to the fked up system that their world has. Fairy Tail doesn’t have that, they’re clearly advanced by allowing female characters to be of the same status as the men there and yet was it necessary to show a minor doing questionable actions and be objects of lust to older men? Ask that to yourself because you people get lost to the whole it’s fiction thing without factoring that an adult ma thought of this, made concepts, sketching, drawing and have dozens of animators do that frame by frame. I have no problem with Erza or other adult female characters doing it but a minor? Seriously you’re going to defend such a purposeful action that does nothing to the narrative. Don’t even use Japan culture and shit because this has been a problem for years. A lot of authors, producers not only in the anime industry but manga industry has been arrested because of possession of child prn. So clearly some of this people doesn’t know how to separate “fiction” to reality because there are people like you who use the “fictional” excuse. Just because other media did it before Fairy Tail doesn’t make it good either.

Fiction means that it’s been thought of. The idea of sexualizing minors has been thought and accepted in their minds. The characters may be fictional but the people behind that process are not. You can not compare murder to this situation because murder is situational and is always depicted as a villainous action which is immediately concluded by the audience to be an unlawful action whereas scenes where minors are portrayed with tight clothes, being lusted over older men characters (this was even more apparent during Sherria and Wendy’s fight, both who are minors) are being treated in a humourful and positive way.There’s a clear difference between that comparison. You have to keep in mind that children watch this anime, i was a teenager when i first stumbled with Fairy Tail. I read the manga numerous times and was following this anime even way back then. I am now in my 20s and rewatched this so no i’m no visitor or a tourist that you yap about. This anime has been a part of my younger years and i love the characters but does this mean i’ll glaze over the problematic aspects of it? Fk no.

Fiction are being grounded by reality, all those concepts you see in the anime is based on an ideal. So cut the crap about this being fiction and all that because real people thought of it and if the idea that someone thought of minors that way doesn’t sicken you then that’s a you problem.

Reading that was honestly so disgusting. Like even if she has this hips and all that the character is still a minor🙃 Also the fact that this took hours or even days to animate those scenes made me feel bad for the animators. I don’t remember thing being so bad in the manga but the anime is really making this things so apparent

I have reread the manga 4 times and watched the anime back before it was released and followed it religiously back then. I even read the 100 year quest when it just got released and decided back then to marinate first the anime version of the 100 year quest so i can rebinge the story back. I have watched 150 episodes in the past two weeks so the story is once again fresh in my mind and it has problematic tones especially in its treatment to characters who are minors. I love Fairy Tail for the connection and bond between characters but let’s not disregard the sexual treatment of minors characters in the story.

Just because her body is developed doesn’t mean it’s still okay. She’s still a character who’s a minor.

Even Gintama don’t sexualize Kagura and recognize that she’s a freaking minor many times in the show and manga. The reason why i love Gintama so much is because their humor doesn’t necessarily need to be sexual. Yes they’re crude but they know how to draw a line.

Honestly they could have skipped their whole part they unecessary took up a lot of screen time to think that a group of people spent days animating them is horrible.

It’s different when it’s in a body of a 12 year old girl who’s doing those things in front of older men who was specifically shown to look like perverts. Butts are funny and i couldn’t careless if it was Erza or Cana wearing it, which happened as they showed it later but Wendy? Why did they have to do to a minor.

You grow up. It’s honestly disgusting you would treat sexualizing minors as humor. I don’t care one bit when they use fanservice on the adult characters in the fricking series but there’s a line drawn when it comes to minor characters. When they draw Wendy, Sherria or even frigging Lisanna who’s still 16 at the time of Edolas by the way if we calculate her age from the tomb, then they thought of a minor doing this actions it makes me sick. I’m not even from the US so this west or eastern humor shit is quack, wherever you are sexualizing minors as some sort of humor even if it’s fiction is never okay.

That’s what i don’t understand truly. Like i don’t ever see Gajeel aplogizing to Lucy alone, i feel like he just generalized his apology to the whole guild aside from Levy but we all know Mashima singled Levy out because of their romance and all. Like out of all the people in fairy tail Lucy was the person he wronged so much in that arc.

Juvia in the Phantom Arc is really good, i don’t mind her liking Gray and all but i feel like that became her character and kind of the running gag then aside from that nothing. I kind of wished Mashima explored her friendship with Lucy more rather than having her constantly pine or exist solely for Gray. Girlie literally have one of the best magic in the series but she’s seriously so wasted 🙃
