Hi, I like to infect fandoms with my hyperfixations

Hallucinating while at a Will Wood show is crazy because Shayfer James is playing music and I look up at the balcony and Art the Clown is just starring and waving at me and then behind him is the real Will Wood just minding his own business.

Rival Battles I pray happen in

Sonic X Shadow Generations

As I'm sure you know a remaster of Sonic Generations with a newly added Shadow campaign is coming this fall! We don't really know anything about it except what's on the Steam page. One thing on the Steam page caught my eye specifically;

This screenshot really reminds me of the rival battles in base Sonic Generations. Also not to mention FUCKING BLACK DOOM IS BACK???

This implies to me that Sonic Team is willing to bring back some characters they haven't brought back in a LONG ass time for this game. Even ones we thought they'd rather forget.

Now we don't know the length of the game but in base Sonic Generations there were 3 rival battles.

Now realistically Sonic is going to take one of the three spots I'm sure but let's have some fun and imagine who the other two could be anyway.

Now who are characters who have developed a cult following from games that most agree aren't that good? Who also have something against Shadow specifically? (All criteria Black Doom also hits).

That's right Mephiles and Infinite! Everytime I hear about these three characters it's always along the lines of "wow these games sucked but the antagonists were cool as hell and it's sad they were wasted" or something like that.

Well my response to that is bring them back! Neither are technically dead (one is trapped the other was erased but you can take that as you will I suppose) within canon so it could be done but what they are doing here is probably smarter for now. Making them an issue with space time falling apart. I'm assuming this is just what Shadow was doing during the base game, so makes sense enemies old (and maybe even new (Infinite)) would be a problem for him.

N̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶r̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶r̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶v̶a̶l̶i̶d̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶M̶e̶p̶h̶i̶l̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶n̶f̶i̶n̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶

Now am I even slightly confident in this happening? No not really. Do I still hope it does? Yes, very much so. And I mean Black Doom being here really does make anything possible I suppose. But in reality this is just fun speculation, nothing more.

NONE OF YALL BELIEVED ME BUT I WAS RIGHTTTTT

The one thing that will always bother me about Callie and Marie;

ARE THEIR COLORS!

Splatoon 3 colors: blue and yellow (gray being a background color).

Splatoon 3 idols' colors: blue, yellow, and gray!

Splatoon 2 colors: pink and green.

Splatoon 2 idols' colors: pink and green!

Splatoon 1 colors: orange and blue.

Splatoon 1 idols' colors: pink and green?

HUH? I get it's because they were the first before they made that design choice, but I wish their Splatoon 3 outfits reflected it at least.

What I wish they looked like to ease my pattern loving brain:

Hey I don’t want to comment for real bc I’m sick of arguing with people on tumblr

I just wanted to say that in that post about deadpool and wolverine’s queerness, you are like 1000% in the right. Normally I don’t feel this strongly about stuff but anyone who thinks that Disney seriously and earnestly “delivered” on deadpool (and wolverine?) being queer is delusional

I mean, I love the movie. I’ve seen it twice and giggled my way through it both times. Obviously I enjoy the queer aspect of their relationship. But what you said about being able to be critical of your favorite media is important. The fact that people are arguing that there are no issues with the gay jokes in d&w but ACTUALLY it’s all indicative of a genuinely made film about two queer men is like actually SO crazy

Thank you, yes! The movie is absolutely amazing in the fact it's funny and well written. And yes I like the gay jokes, they're cheeky and enjoyable. But I think they'd be more enjoyable if any amount of Wade's (and also Logan's) queerness was taken seriously. Even just a little seriously.

I think the part that annoyed me about the movie most was Wade breaking up with Vanessa. Yeah it works for the movie and his character development. But at the same time I can't help but assume the reasoning for it was so queer people could go "hey they're both single, maybe just maybe Deadpool and Wolverine will get together?" No they won't this is Disney. He'll probably be back together with Vanessa eventually (even if it's not immediately).

Like I said on the comments of the post you're referring to; saying this is good queer rep is just an excuse so Disney (and Marvel) doesn't have to actually try to make good representation. The MCU has had many issues like this before. The single Loki bisexual conversation only for them to chicken out on the mlm ship they were hinting at in S2 promotions. Loki also being labeled as genderfluid in promo stuff just for him to be referred to as a male Loki and such. Characters who are canonically bisexual in the comics like Starlord showing absolutely zero hints to their queerness. Eternals is the only real representation I can think of, but it felt very one note and boring. Like that whole movie.

In conclusion Deadpool is a great movie but my biggest gripe is just that the queer aspect is not taking seriously. As much as I love the Honda Odyssey scene, it would be cool if it wasn't just a weird mix of coding/bait. Queer coding is still a great writing tool. Using metaphors for queerness in fantasy can be fun. But the reason queer coding existed in the first place is because you weren't allowed to show any queer people on screen. But times have changed! You can show it, but Disney are cowards. The movie is also queerbaity as they set up things like Vanessa's break up only to start them almost back up again with Logan himself telling Wade to go for the girl. Not to mention all the promotional posters like Deadpool and Wolverine as Beauty And The Beast. Disneyland Deadpool is also being VERY heavy on the gay jokes, which makes me feel like they KNOW who their main target audience was gonna be with this movie, but they still need to cater to the movie dudebros as well. Maybe one day guys, maybe.

It's important to be critical of even your favorite media. If you weren't then it could never improve. Let your voices be heard! And to the people who think movies don't deserve such debate; why do you think that? So many people say that so they don't have to discuss representation in media but then turn around and rant about the comic accuracy. Also what do you think happens in a writers room? Criticism is important in media even to professionals. A movie is a group effort, many people had different ideas that eventually came together and made Deadpool 3. They also probably had many ideas that were shut down and not put in Deadpool 3 for various reasons. Some most likely being criticisms.

Ok I'm done ranting now. Deadpool 3, great movie, one of my favorites. But it would have benefited not only itself by being true to Wade and Logan letting them be their authentic queer selves; But it also would have benefited the queer community.
