I was reading over notes from my Anthropology class and then clicked on a video of J.D. and Dr. Cox from Scrubs dancing (suggestively) to Poison from Hazbin Hotel. It was a cover sung by J.D. 😳

Weekend catch-up, but at least the readings can't be said to lack points of reflection

I don’t like that they killed Izzy, but I don’t think they did it for the wrong reasons like many others have said. But I also don’t blame them for feeling that way. Sure, the show is full of old, queer, kinky, disabled characters. But Izzy is the only one we get to see reckon with that in real time (besides maybe jim but that is done really quickly with minimal discomfort).

I’d argue he’s among the most important queer rep in the show because he does struggle with those things. Ofmd created a wonderful world where aside from little peaks of the outsiders views here and there, everyone is accepted. I love that and would not have the show any other way. It was so important for me to see people like me be treated as just… normal. But there does create a kind of dissonance with relating to those characters because we don’t live in that world.

That’s where I felt Izzys presence allowed them to excel in that respect. He let them paint a complete picture. Ed and stede remind me of my early teens, the discovery of an attraction that feels right in a way nothing else ever did, the sweetness of that first true love (along with the ups and downs of homoerotic friendships lmao). They’re the experience you have with another person. The crew of the revenge remind me of getting older and finding community, the safety and camaraderie and relief you get with that. They’re the experience you have with a community. But Izzy, he reminds me of myself through all these stages. He is all the self hatred, the misplaced aggression, the isolation. And then he gets to be the beauty, and acceptance, and levity that comes with truthfulness to who you are. He is the experience you have with yourself.

And that’s exactly why his death is so devastating. He was such a heavy lifter.

I think there’s also something to be said about Con O’Neil opening up about being a queer man himself and experiencing some of Izzy’s journey with him through the show, and perceiving him loosing that as well.

So yeah I think it’s a big loss that outweighs the narrative benefits. And I think we all have a right to mourn that. But I don’t think it’s fair to throw around all these baseless accusations at the creators. While there’s more nuance to why loosing Iz is such a big deal, this is undeniably not because of writers being against who he was. It’s the classic archetype for his character type, you sin, you make amends, you die. I do think maybe more input from queer writers could have prevented him not being fully appreciated outside of his ‘literary’ function, but that’s speculation.

I’m sad and angry too. But I’d rather focus on what we were given with Izzy and all the work Con O’Neil put in to fully flesh that out. Their story really is a monument to how community and fiction can change lives, and just how closely the two are intertwined.

And I’m grateful for what Izzy got to be. He could have easily been thrown away as the bad guy but instead he got to be so so much more. I’m glad we got to see that, even if his end wasn’t befitting of his journey.

Anyway rip Izzy Hands you were a real one and I’ll love you forever. Everyone else stop bullying David Jenkins I’m in your walls.

#tldr: the nuance is nuanced #sorry for the weird formating I had to copy paste from my notes cause tumblr ate the first try of this post #now TWO hours have gone into this bc I couldn’t remeber what I put the first time #anyway I did it cause it took me a while to pick apart my feelings about this and I wanted to help others struggling with doing the same #bc these conversations are important to have #nothing exists in a vacuum #a show is never just a show #anyway I study anthropology if that adds an credit to this #probably not tho but whatevs #ofmd analysis #ofmd meta #ofmd spoilers #ofmd #ofmd s2 #our flag means death #con o'neill #izzy hands #discourse #noah rambles

Anyone else up knowing that Human is just as much of a social construct as woman or man?

#Seems obvious #but not everyone is aware of this. #placing definitive lines between humans and any other creature on the planet is arbitrary at best and feeds into white supremacy at worst #you can choose to do whatever you want with that information #anthropology study notes

Hi I just started college and I'm studying anthropology and I am in love with your Neanderthal/Ancient Human art. And I very much love your art style (and your bear posts). You're so cool!

Hello! an anthropology student! Yay!!! I rarely find much people in this field. In fact, most people I talk to in my anthropology classes turn out to NOT be anthropology students. I still wonder how it's being offered when I can barely find other anthropology majors around me lol. It's an incredibly fascinating field with so much variety. I personally love the nature/culture studies and paleoanthropology. What are your favorites?

I'm glad to hear that you like my paleolithic art 🥰 There is still sooooo much more I want to make. And the bears too! Keep an eye out because tomorrow I will post the first batch of #Octobear drawings! (Doing it this year again!)

#ask #thank you for the ask! #DMs are open if you want to chat! #I loooveeee anthropology #kinda regret throwing out my notes now lol #especially my primatology and paleoanthropology notes

Introductions | 11•28•23

Hello everyone!

My name is Bee! I'm 19, use they/them pronouns, and am a current junior in college majoring in politics and minoring in anthropology! I made a Tumblr so I could get more in touch with other academics and have a space to write down my daily thoughts and to unwind (I tried to do this in a physical journal, but it did not last long. Curse you, brain).

I may not update every day, but my goal is to write on this blog regularly and engage in the communities and fandoms I am interested in to potentially make friends and connections!

I know there's not much to see right now, but I hope you stick around and enjoy what's to come!

Y'all hear me out for a sec 😳

what if 👀

An alternative way for the Orion Pax arc to play out....had Optimus revert to before the archivist days--like, when he was off eating dirt or whatever he did before studying at Iacon and "acclimating to society" as it was put.

Aka the era in which Orion was feral

(I am so sorry for typos, I wrote this on my phone)

Just,,,imagine that scene where Megatron's stalking forward, ready to kill him, drawing out his sword.

Rather than Optimus looking up and innocently asking where they are, he gains consciousness, takes one look at Megatron, growls.

And then just!!! bites his arm!!!

After all, he has no idea who this is! Or where he is or like...whatever.

Megatron yelps in shock and surprise, grimacing. He tries to shake him off but the bite is firm and Optimus will not let go!!! Megatron starts to panic because what is this??? this wasnt supposed to happen 🤨 What????

And then the autobots come by and (after Optimus is extracted from Megatron, who immediately jets out of there, swearing revenge or something) they guide their leader through the bridge to base. The rest of the time in this arc is everyone standing around watching Optimus and trying to figure out what to do. They take turns making sure he doesn't get hurt or anything.

Meanwhile Optimus goes around poking things or spending periods of time sitting in a corner, eerily quiet and watching everyone with a sharp, wide-eyed gaze. The kids start giving him headpats (because he reminds them of a dog in some ways) and he even purrs--or the Cybertronian equivalent, not knowing what they're saying or what these life forms are, but viewing them as friendly. He enjoys their company and lets them do as they wish with him.

Maybe once, Optimus disappears, seeming to have escaped Arcee who was supposed to watch him but went on patrol instead. So everyone flips out, goes searching all over. But then Raf follows a hunch he had and goes up to the roof. And indeed, he finds Optimus up on the top of the base, sitting motionlessly, absolutely mesmerized by the sunset and the stillness of nature. He'd probably just wandered out, the boy guesses, smiling to himself. Optimus doesn't end up going back inside until the sunset is over and the sky has fully darkened. Raf shares those moments too, both of them just watching the sun, wordless. When they both come downstairs, everyone is relieved, and they all decide to watch a movie together. Optimus falls asleep against the wall before the film is over.

Then at last, one thing leads to another, matrix of leadership is restored by Vector Sigma, and Optimus goes back to normal. No one speaks of it, Optimus doesn't quite remember it, only Miko has some saved photos to remind her sometime in the future. (And a drawing or two she made during some school classes 😋)

Like please I can't be the only one who finds this kinda funny but also interesting--

#also not dunking on the orion pax arc thats literally my fave part of tfp & Im so glad it exists #however as an amusing alternative #anwyays lmfao #kuni talks #transformers #tf #transformers prime #tfp #optimus prime #orion pax #random #scenario #writing stuff #ideas #lmao #maccadam #<3 #megatron #tfp optimus prime #powered by my unwillingness to finish my anthropology notes and contemplation of multiple tfp-related things 💀 #kuniwrites #I am so uninteresting ignore me Im just in a mood 😔
