something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.

i remember reading a book as a kid and the author continually italicizing the word tamales

As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."

I will draw the dog we make. :)

- He got engaged. He didn’t call me. Okay. That’s his way of telling me… We’re not friends. Not really.  

- You can’t be friends with him. Not when you’re… He doesn’t need to congratulate me. Look at me. Who am I compared to him?  

- He is who he is. He doesn’t need a friend. He doesn’t need… He isn’t like me.  

- He’s Superman.  

- He’s Batman.

I've met him in person btw and he's a fucking sweetheart

[ID: Text-intensive Twitter thread from the Shapeshifters chest binders Twitter account in reply to a post by artist and author Ursula Vernon. Vernon says, A non-zero number of you apparently did not know that The Last Unicorn was a book before it was a movie. It is by Peter S. Beagle. It is made of spun glass and fairytales and iron knives and there are individual lines that I would give my lungs to have written. Shapechangers replies, I saw him every year at NYCC for several years straight, bought something at his table, asked him to sign it, and we spoke. He remembered me from year to year, no small feat at that con. He remembered which stories he'd told me. One year I came back with a different gender on. He squinted at me a bit and said thoughtfully, "I've seen you before in this place." All I had to say was, "last year you told me the story about the inoshishi." And his face cleared, and he leaned in with a grin and told me about a German guitarist who he traveled with, twice. Who transitioned between the first and second time, so he'd gotten to meet this person all over again on the second round. It was a wonderfully kind way to let me know that everything was fine. I was fresh out of the closet and I needed that, and maybe he could see it. The Last Unicorn is the best book in the world and I will defend it and its author til I die. the end. /end ID]

I don't usually talk about celebrities; artists, when I do, and I'm keenly aware that one needn't be a good person to be a hell of a heartwrenching artist. But Peter S. Beagle has written a few of my favorite things in the world, he's an excellent singer and filker, and this Twitter thread was dreadfully important to me. I don't want it going away as Twitter becomes Shitter, because it's so often bad news, isn't it? It's important to me to share trans joy.

Thinking again about how Makuta Teridax tries to present himself as a cosmic horror entity- a primordial force of destruction, uncaring and inevitable, to whom the lives of lesser beings mean nothing.

But in reality, the opposite is true. He’s a maliciously petty little bastard who gets incredibly hung up on holding grudges and making people suffer, often to his own detriment. And that can be it’s own kind of horror on occasions, but also this man is literally too petty to function sometimes. Just… wretched. Absolute disaster villain.

#another feather in my hats #that is an excellent analysis

Does this villain deserve a redemption arc? Is this villain capable of undergoing redemption?

That's the question we should all be asking ourselves. If a villain acknowledges the error of their ways and expresses remorse, they are therefore capable of embarking on a redemption arc.

But if they're Demona from Disney's Gargoyles - who blames humanity for all her problems/never admits to her mistakes - then you've got an irredeemable villain, regardless of her sympathetic qualities.

In the end, no one "deserves" a redemption arc. What truly matters here is the villain's capacity to change for the better. Sincere character growth.
