julie and shun are becoming besties in my fanfiction, and i love that for me.

Y’all when I was writing Chapters 6 and 7, I thought they were short. Before I published them, the fanfiction only had around 10,000 words. I added this two chapters and it jumped to 16,000. What the hell did I write about???

Honestly people who complain about kids being made to grow up too fast AND complain about Jojo Siwa are dumb. You don’t have to like her content, but how much she encourages kids to dress and act like kids and how she’s made it cool for young girls to be colourful and childish and enjoy being a kid again cannot go understated.

In an online world where youngs girls are being sexualised and dressing like/being treated like grown women at age 13 and 14, a star encouraging young girls to still love glitter and colourful sweaters and hair bows and dress like Claire’s Accessories threw up over them as long as they want should not be scorned or criticised. You have to pick your battles here, and when you look at what role models young girls online have these days, Jojo is definitely one of the better ones.

why would the hydranoid be mad at masq

I feel like it’s unfounded because Masky sort of forced him to banish his own people to the ~DOOM DIMENSION~ . I don’t know, maybe Hydranoid wouldn’t be mad at him for all of that because of Naga and Hal-G. But it’s probably just a dumb headcanon of mine because I want the bakugan and their masters to fight

No, cause honestly... now I wanna write this

After watching episode 39 and talking it over with a friend, I think it would be neat if Alice knew she was Masquerade the entire time yet kept it up out of spite for the brawlers never letting her in on much. Just a thought

The Beyblade anime was way more nuanced than any of us realized at the time. For a show that's supposed to be a teenage sports anime about spinning tops, it does quite a deep dive into the psyche, the personalities and mental health of its characters, which I think is rare in that genre. It does not shy away from dark, realistic themes.

We have Tyson who clearly has abandonment issues and I think that they show it pretty well. All the angst and anger he had in G Revolution was very much how a real person would react and the way he feels under pressure as a star - I think it was very well depicted.

We have Max, as the perpetual ray of sunshine and yet they obviously show how much of a face he puts up and how resilient he can be in difficult circumstances. Being underestimated repeatedly and how he comes to terms with it feels very realistic honestly. He's constantly having to prove himself to everyone - his rivals, his own friends and even his mother, who do not believe in him. It must be exhausting to be Max and I think that comes out well a lot of the time.

Kai's inability to attach himself to specific people and his lack of loyalty, as well as the depiction of how he deals with trauma (both in Season 1 vis a vis the abbey and in V Force vis a vis Wyatt) are very wonderfully shown. His emotions are both rational and real. As an adult, I think it's surprising for something so dark translate so well on screen in an otherwise innocuous and funny anime about teenagers.

Ray and the way he often feels conflicted about his loyalties and the responsibility he feels on his shoulder at every moment balanced with his ambitions give a very unique perspective to his character. I think they showed his struggles fairly well.

Hilary feeling like she doesn't fit in with the team, Kenny and his anxiety, Daichi and his excitement which overcompensates for his insecurities- there's so much layers to everyone.

And of course we have the other characters. We had Mariah and her internal turmoil in that whole Asian arc, we had the Russian boys and their whole dark past and bravery in standing up to their abuser in G Revolution, we had the spoilt Majestics getting humbled and seeing the error of their ways, we have Judy finally figuring out how to balance motherhood and her ambitions, we had Mariam stand up to her patriarchal teammates who are too blinded by tradition to see reason, we see Wyatt as the scorned fan, we see Zeo fighting just to be accepted as normal, we have Raul trying to be a worthy match for his twin sister...

And of course, Brooklyn. The dark and light angel versions of Brooklyn in his vision say everything you want to know about him.

Beyblade could have been shallow but it was not. That's what makes it unique. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
