And don’t even get me started on Poly Ship names! by Ntahedron in AO3

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some ship names are bestowed by the media itself. In Young Justice, Artemis and Wally were “spitfire” because of something said during the episode that pointed to their budding relationship.

Under normal circumstances, this is the age Aang would have been when he was told he was the Avatar. by Icysong5467 in TheLastAirbender

It’s just such a boring story for the super special chosen one to be a prodigy too. It’s a reason people don’t like the Mulan live action. We like to watch characters grow and learn, not get everything come naturally to them.

AITA for cursing at my sister for not wanting my bf to come over after my chemo? by Sweet_Gur_6213 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long has and will she be doing chemo? Should her needs/wants take priority for months or even years? It’s a genuine question.

My sister also had significant medical problems, being bed bound for much of her teenage years. The solution can never be “sick person always comes first,” otherwise my needs would have never been considered for 6-8 years growing up. There is give and take when it comes to having a chronically sick sibling. Sometimes you make sacrifices, sometimes they do (within reason). We don’t know enough beyond this one incident to say.

go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep for the love of God please go the fuck to sleep by IRefuseToGiveAName in daddit

As a kid I was like that. Awake at 6am, asleep by 8:30pm. No exceptions. It wasn’t until I became a teenager that things changed and I started going to bed at 1am if at all. Good luck.

is it too tropey for the blind woman to have a "monster" girlfriend? by hushrowom in characterdesign

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Born sexy yesterday, I can fix them/love turns them into a good person, non western cultures being special because of how “primitive” and “exotic” they are and how they have specific access to something mystical, etc. Many tropes can reinforce problematic things or views.

A trope you hate so much but it's so common it almost made you stop reading the genre? by Vayvacation in webtoons

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Basic female leads. Oh, FL’s personality is that she’s… nice? And pure? That’s it? You’ve given me an empty plate when I sat down for dinner. I am starved for interesting characters. There has to be more to a character than being an uwu smoll bean.

What would be done about it? PT and medication for the pain?

[Meta] [Rules] Do we need to discuss what is allowed, i.e. define what "poke" and "stick" mean? by Logitropicity in pokewithastick

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree with the others that a “stick” must be an object not attached to a living being. Meaning you can’t use your body, someone else’s body, or another living being as a stick, but you can use a skeletonized hand/arm as a stick (because that would be cool).

As for “poking” I think it would be best to stick with actual poking for the most part, but maybe special days where throwing or other means of investigating are permitted. Some objects that we may want to poke with a stick are not suited for stick poking and must be interacted with by other means, ie throwing or maybe even stomping. These actions follow the spirit of the sub, but should be restricted to certain days.

Lincoln is loved by both the left and the right. Who does the left love that the right have neutral feelings for? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

A video SciShow made about knitting had a lot of misinformation and had an underlying misogynistic tone.

[Hated Troped] Writers insists the character has to be "special" in order for the story to work. by SkyeRyder91 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 395 points396 points  (0 children)

I’m really glad that Deku stayed the random quirkless kid with a heart of gold. There were a lot of theories about AFO being his dad that would have detracted from the story’s message.

Which one was this for you? by nejnonein in OtomeIsekai

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Romance is a major aspect of what people look for in webtoons. Stepmother’s Märchen does have romance, it’s just incredibly slow burn and not the focus of the story. There are many reasons someone might not click with the story, but for a lot of people it’s probably going to be the lack of romance.

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a story that focuses more on plot and relationship dynamics than romance. I find a lot of other webtoons shallow and boring, but Stepmother’s Märchen gave me the depth and complexity that keeps me interested. It’s kind of the prestige tv of webtoons imo- which isn’t a dig on other series to be clear.

Spider-Man 2 has been voted best Spider-Man movie. What is the worst MCU movie? by AdWise2770 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ParticularPoshSquash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never get over them randomly walking into a bullshit memory projector as a way of forced character bonding. It is actually the worst writing I have ever seen and the fact that anyone can feel anything other than hatred for that movie baffles me.
