Gotta Snap Real Quick

gotta snap real quick

Honestly, I'm so glad somebody made this video, because I feel the exact same

TW: S/A, Misogyny

I too, wanted to like Verosika; even a ton of people in the critical community seem to like her too!

But after what she did to Moxie all the way back in Spring Broken, the questionable ethics of her Succubus powers, and her transformation into a mouth-piece for Stolitz in the new episodes, I just couldn't get on board with her to any capacity.

Does she have potential? Yes! In the same way characters like Stella, Blitz, and many others had potential. But potential can only carry a character so far, and Veroskia's ran out rather quick for me.

While I do still think Veroskia is a good basis upon which to develop complex and revealing conversations about the misogyny and surprisingly conservative values of HB, her character itself is...lacking in many ways.

If you like her, that's wonderful! I personally just can't watch her without rolling my eyes or sighing with annoyance.

PS: Please go check out the guy who made this video! He's really talented and is one of the only shining beacons of hope for the critical community on Youtube.

Octavia Appreciation Post! 💫💜🌙

(because she's basically the only completely likeable character in the whole Hellaverse)

Love her so much :3

The recent HB episodes seem to have led to a noticeable shift within the fanbase. More people are getting tired of the Stolitz soap opera, and even people who like the show agree. And based on those leaks, it seems that HB will be loosing more and more fans as a result of Viv’s desperation to make Stolas sympathetic through any means necessary, regardless of whether or not it makes sense from a narrative standpoint. It’s a shame, really

You’re right. Because no one came here for the stolitz show. But since they’re here, it may as well be good. But it’s not. It’s such a shame she’s already going full speed ahead with season 3, which seems mostly stolas focussed again. Every time she sees critique, she sees it as an attack and doubles down on things her feedback say are not helping the quality of her show. Because she wants to “defeat” her critics. But they only want it to get better.

It is sad. Just, because of all the talented people who worked so hard. If their boss wasn’t so fixated with validating Twitter hot takes, satisfying the headcanons of stolitz shippers, and “owning the haters” (sic: letting haters indirectly influence your writing) it could be something great.

The show is going to make some very catastrophic risky decisions soon. Worse than you’ve seen so far. It may destroy itself like a snake eating its own tail.

happy fiddauthor/fiddleford friday! have some doodles during these trying times
