'Is this like an Alice in Wonderland thing?' Leo called out, paddling towards Sensei and trying not to swallow water as he moved. 'Did you cry all these tears?' 'The mindscape does love a good metaphor.' Sensei called back, and he sounded fucking wrecked.

high school timber is all about repression!!!

it's about bernard desperately trying to prove to himself and his parents that he's straight!! because his parents already don't like him and he cannot be gay. not now not ever!!!! so he puts up this front of a ladies man and he picks a girl he cant ever get together with and maybe he kisses like 3/4 of the female population at grieves and gains a reputation but hey! at least he's not gay! but he's so caught up in making sure his eyes don't to stick too long on tyrone's face or michael-from-biology's eyes or kabir-from-study-hall's thick thighs that even his attraction to women is under a filter. and it's not that he doesn't like women, he does! very much so!! but it's that he's soo caught on not being perceived as gay that he cant show his attraction to women the way he'd like to. it's all under this filter of what he thinks Real Men who are attracted to women act like so it's this brash, loud, crass, thing and it's not him at all. it's "ooh tim, ms. winters is soooo hot!" or "hey kayla, why don't you and i get to know each other a little better, if you know what i mean?" or "god her tits are soo big. she's so fucking hot!" and all this other shit when he really means, "tim, why the fuck does your stepmom have such a pretty smile?" or "kayla, you said you liked yugioh? i'd love to hear more about it!" or "god fuck, that girl has such pretty hands. i think if i held them i'd combust." but none of that is how a Real Man likes women so he shuts that shit down before it even has a chance to come up. it's fine, he's fine. so what if no one ever holds him like he holds those girls? it's fine. he'll take the manwhore label and the fuckboy title and he'll give out as many kisses as those girls want and if sometimes when he's kissing a girl he wonders what it'd be like to sit on kabir's thighs or if tyrone's lips really are as soft as they look, that's just the devil speaking. and if sometimes when he walks back into the cafeteria at lunch, lipstick still smudged on the corner of his mouth, after making out with a girl and his eyes skirt over tim's lithe body and he wonders what it'd be like to draw out the same sounds he's heard girls make when he kisses them, or what it'd be like to brush his thumb over tim's hands, or what it'd be like to hold tim or press a kiss to his shoulder, or a million and one other things, well that'll just have to be another one his secrets.

and it's about tim who's in a relationship with stephanie and his dad knows he's robin and he doesn't have time to figure out why his mouth goes dry when the light hits bernard's hair just right. he's too busy trying to figure out a way back to his nightlife. and so what if bernard has pretty pink lips that look very plush? so what if he's looked at some of his teammates and thought they were handsome? he's not blind!!! he has a girlfriend! and he loves her! and so what if his hand brushes bear's during fourth-period bio? so what if the tingles last all day? it was just some static! and it doesn't matter that when bear laughs his eyes get squinty and they water over -- cause bear always laughs so hard he almost cries -- and it sounds like bells. and it doesn't even matter, that sometimes when bernard walks back into the lunchroom, 10 minutes before the bell rings, lipstick smeared across the corner of his mouth, lips tilted up in the most charming smirk he's ever seen, that his chest fills with jealousy. it doesn't matter that his hands clench into fists so hard that his nails leave crescents marks all day. it doesn't matter that he wants to be bear's flavor of the day, week, month, whatever. he wants to leave the lipstick marks!! he wants to know if bear really is as good as he hears the girls speak about!!! he wants to know "that thing bernard does with his tongue!" is! he wants to drape himself over bear the same way he sees those girls do! he wants to know what bear's hands feel like gripping his waist. he wants, wants, wants!!! but it doesn't matter. it doesn't. he's got a girlfriend, her name is stephanie, she's gorgeous and, most importantly he loves her. he's too busy for bernard anyway.

#oh my god #what is this #but in all honesty #hs!timber really is all about the repression #they both have so much going in their lives at that moment that they do Not have time to explore bisexuality #bear falls first (into bisexuality) & tim falls harder (into bisexuality) #meaning bear attends a few gsa meetings/reads a few pamphlets/comes out to a few friends and slowly settles into being bi #meanwhile tim wakes up one night in a cold sweat stumbles to the bathroom and thinks to himself 'oh my god i like dick too' #and this isn't to say that tim was cheating on steph emotionally! it's just sometimes he looks at bear and.... wonders #bear on the other hand.... that man was halfway in love with tim during hs and i truly believe that #darla gets a text one night from tim and all it says is 'did you notice that bear put on pink lipgloss today?' #and darla immediately texts back 'is this why you wont go out with me?' #and tim instantly realizes how gay that initial text sounded #anyway tim seething over bear's new girl of the week while bear is doing everything he can to not read into tim's arm around his shoulder #also #demisexual!tim truthers rise!!!!! #anyway #dc #bernard dowd #tim drake #timber #timbern

Okay, guys, it's up to you to keep this idea alive, so I hope you will have fun doing it and will make it with the knowledge that in addition to fun it is also work)

@icequeenabby , if you really will be able to help organize discord channel for song writers, everyone will be really grateful. I think it will be better to make this channel closed and let inside only those who will be working on music (and if you're not okay to constantly look after this channel, I think it will be better to find someone inside channel to lead this procces), also separated chats for lyrics, composers, singers and one for everyone might be very comfortable. I think you might decide everything once the channel is done and everyone is here. You can send a link to me once it's ready so that everyone could see it

@girlofthevoid22, @jokingmaiden, @jadednugget, @itzwintersnow, @k0nanharv3y, @imjustherefortheshi, @serpentsirenart, @anmionatheblue, @elmuvahva, @quilinbean, @just-another-wren, @gravityfish, @ihavewritersblockbutinreallife, @princesskkfish, @boggledoodle, @n1cole-do3s-stuff (everyone who replied to participate) Everyone else, who'd like to try himself, who can play or sing, feel free to reply or ask for entrance on channel. (Guys, I am not always free to reply or to look after all this , please consider it and don't write to me in ask box, please write in comments or replies)

Guys, I repeat, the idea won't last long only on hype, so I hope you understand that some might quit later, you should understand what you're doing and make it properly, and of course have fun with what you do (or cry because of what you create). It might not work at all and it's not scary, at least you tried to give it a chance and it's already so cool. I'm not a music man, so you should understand better what to do.

#I am really exited to see what you can create #because actually #there are so many ideas what you can do and what can't be found in internet #I mean I've been thinking about a deep song about days when robo raph was trapped in the cave #or dad to son song from Leo and Raph to Casey #Casey's song as itself #Mikey's whole arc #I was even wondering if it's possible to create some kind of an acapella #it would be so cool??? #You can create so many teary songs with just a piano and proper lyrics #and believe there will be people who'd like to create animatic to it XDDD #okay #stop blablabla #guys. It's up to you. #Well... at least this time it isn't war... #rise music gang

This is for @bluepeachstudios ‘s Ghost in a Shell. It’s really good you should read it.

I looked at exactly one picture of Jupiter Jim and went “yeah this should be enough to draw him.” I will not be answering if it actually was

Have some bonus content under the cut!

And sketches

(I love any character who can say “I don’t want to go back to prison” it’s like the funniest thing to me)

[nyaskitten]

maybe its JUST me but I hate how often ninjago has to rely on "world-ending evil" each season, because seriously how can you go higher than that in the next season?

#like mhnnn... #i love the dr finale but idk even if the season was building to it #i just thought those stakes for the FIRST SEASON were a bit odd bc what next even ?? #also not a huuge fan of how quickly it was resolved #like ik they wanted to focus on a lot in the finale and set stuff up #and the s2 setup was FAR better than the s1 part 2 setup #but the 2 finales follow such a similar formula to a point where I kinda can't unnotice it #like you have ninja figthing imperium #sora using her powers to beat the empress #the ninja back at the monastery again discussing stuff about what happened and all #in fact the two scenes are so visually similar i feel like if I lied and collected screenshots from both scenes and said they were the same #-scene #some ppl would believe me #also it ends with the super mystery cliffhanger and all #good finale but idk i wish it was a biit of a bigger break from the s1a finale #ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago spoilers #raine's rambles

Rise! April, pulling out her bat: BAT!

#I love it how in order to even make her somewhat interesting the 2012 crew had to give her all this backstory #and make her a telepath Kraang hybrid #and then all the rise crew did was give her a bat and no sense of self-preservation #and everyone loved her instantly #look I said no turtle on turtle hate and no hating the 2k12 versions #I however said nothing for 12 april #shit on her as you please #because that’s what I’m doing #I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can like her character #???? #okay but this isn’t supposed to be a 12 april hate post it’s supposed to br a rise april appreciation post #everyone give up a round of applause for our girl #our queen #rise april #yes I do believe in #rise april supremacy #spread the word #rottmnt april #rottmnt #rise tmnt #2k12 tmnt #2k12 april #crossover #tmnt crossover #I also hope if there ever is an actual canon crossover #they mention her crane liscense #because it would be funny

[madokasoratsugu]

dr stone is so funny bc its literally giving the most traumatised people on earth the chance to rebuild the world and what do you know it, they choose eugenics and tyranny (aka nearly all antagonists). the only downside to the series (which also happens to be a hilarious upside) is that we dont know anything about most character's backstories so we're just left to assume that they're murderous trigger happy loons just because ?? a literal let gays do crime moment except the crime is serial murders of underage children

#dr stone #this post is about stanxeno (but also tsukasa and hyoga and like...nearly all antags LOL) #but i really like thinking that the only reason senku and the kingdom of science can still believe so wholeheartedly in humanity #is a sort of teenage innocence that cannot be replicated and will erode with time/experience #which is what happened with xeno + stanley and tsukasa #im not condoning murder of teens i am just saying #there is a sort of unfounded belief in humanity that you only truly hold in your childhood to teen years #that is so pure and untarnished that you would do anything for it #and you either hold onto it despite the world (ukyo) or youre worn out and jaded by the world (xeno) #kinda wish they expanded more on this tbh....the philosophy behind altruism and the pains of growing up and understanding an imperfect worl #and realising your helplessness against it #but having the desire to rise up and believe in humanity despite so #anyway im having Thoughts and procrastinating on drawing LOL

[madtomedgar]

The thing that's scaring me right now is how many well meaning gentiles just genuinely have no idea when something is an antisemitic canard and so they are internalizing and parrotting ideas that can will and do get Jews killed everywhere because it's couched in pro Palestinian rhetoric and all they know about this is that settler colonialism is bad and they are trusting any leftist or or professed leftists who are actually alt-right types actively using this horror to recruit. And all they knew about antisemitism is like. The Holocaust happened and right wingers are often antisemitic and that anti-zionism isn't necessarily antisemitism. So you have people who honestly do not know better reblogging excerpts from fucking Protocols and thinking it's good information that explains and supports the Palestinian struggle because someone replaced the word "Jew" with "Zionist," and misatributed it. And I know it sounds wrong to say that you need to learn about what antisemitism looks like and how it works in order to effectively advocate for the one group of people in history who are actually being oppressed by Jews-as-Jews, but if you can understand why you need to learn about and recognize transphobia in order to be an effective feminist, you can understand that.

Rootless cosmopolitan tropes, dual loyalty tropes, blood libel, accusations that (((they))) control the media, banks, or governments of other countries, assertions that it's all rich white privileged landlords from nyc/jersey, accusations of making up atrocities or causing their own oppression or using misplaced sympathy to silence criticism for nefarious ends or always lying doesn't stop being antisemitic just because someone used the word Zionist instead of Jews. Go read "The Past Didn't Go Anywhere" so you can avoid becoming Jackson Hinkle's stooge on accident.

#i want Palestinians to be liberated and safe #and on the one hand rising global antisemitism #will make that less likely because it will chase diaspora communities #into the one place that has to welcome them #and on the other i dont believe this is a zero sum game #where we have to either accept Palestinians being murdered #or diaspora and Israeli Jews have to give up our own safety #i think a lot of gentiles have never actually unpacked #the societal belief that all of us have power here and are in agreement #and also dont understand what tokenizing is and why its bad #but in this case ignorance is at least as dangerous as malice #antisemitism is like driving a car that way. whether you meant to hit the person #or not doesnt change how much damageyou did

[intern-seraph]

gonna be real here, i'm almost glad that i mask regularly bc it hides my very Ethnic Jewish Nose and rn it's definitely not safe for jews

#seraph speaks #i wish pro-palestine leftists loved palestinians more than they hate jews #synagogues are upping security jewish schools are closed for the day etc etc #antisemitic hate crimes are on the rise rn. synagogues have been vandalized. people have been physically attacked. #if you think that jews are in any way being dramatic about the genuine danger we're in rn i really hope you learn empathy #also i suggest just looking at jumblr. see what we're talking abt. don't interact. just read. #and if you think me asking for you to show empathy towards jewish people is somehow me approving of the actions of the israeli govt #(i cannot believe i need to make this disclaimer constantly) #no. you are wrong. also you have some REALLY deeply ingrained antisemitism that you should work on. look up the dual loyalty trope.

[captainkurosolaire]

I've told you this before but you are an inspiration to me to keep going when I'm lost in the darkness. You're apologetically you and I admire that a lot. You're passionate about your projects and I will always be your biggest cheerleader to see you through to the end of Captain's story.

ANONYMOUSLY TELL ME YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT ME. I CAN’T REPLY, JUST PUBLISH.

#asks answered #I recall very thoroughly our conversation #It's because of that I have more reason to rise like a phoenix from my ashes #It's why I can lose sleep and feel like I haven't #My passion has transcended to a whole new level #People are fearful of the next age of AI. They believe they'll usurper us humans. #But no matter what a factory produces. #What is engineered the level of emotions that is conveyed in the human spirit is BOUNDLESS. #I believe I'm starting to see why we were created in images of our gods #We're able to reach infinity. #To create worlds through stories and offer unity in trying times. We're powerful. #I don't think any AI can ever defeat me. In the way I feel anymore #Their speed and reaction time the ability to function may overwhelm me #But I will create a universe in which they cannot ever be programmed to overtake. #From my soul and spirit alone I will carve my story #Emotions and stories all through the lens I've written and to yet write. #And even if I'm still here writing these stories with no audience. Or you do move on! I will have these cheers saved and use them #To prevail over all my dark days that may come #Or wanting to stop I'll find a way to write these stories until I'm beaten and can't get up anymore #You deserve a hug <3 #Thank you for yourself!

when it comes down to it disney will never recapture the spirit or success of star wars because star wars was first made in the 70s and everything about its values and sincerity and weird crunchiness and aesthetic reflects that, and it’s fundamentally incompatible with the values and aesthetic of the disney company. star wars itself isn’t dead, there are potentially infinite really fun and interesting stories that could be told with it, but those stories aren’t going to come from disney or whichever giant corporation buys it after I finally succeed in setting the ceo of disney on fire via telepathy, they’re going to keep coming from people who genuinely love it and are just in it for the joy of making up some bullshit, and who care enough to put actual heart into the stories they’re telling.

#also it's hard to tell a story about people rising up against an oppressive and evil regime to fight for a better future #when you're blatantly taking the side of the current evil regime that's actively trying to make the future worse for everyone #so like yeah they'll pay lip service to hope and love and fighting for what you believe in but like #but it always feels a little like those anti-smoking ads that cigarette companies were forced to make

makes me kind of sad that no one’s made a proper multifemale edit of taylor’s who’s afraid of little old me? bc, okay look, the song is filled with so much female rage that when i see people using it for edits for male characters, and it’s male characters that i like or love don’t get me wrong, it’s like they’re not getting what the song is about. it feels weird seeing it paired to anything other than women and what we’ve struggled with.

#before ANYONE says anything; yes i’m aware that men struggle too #i am in NO WAY invalidating the fact that they’ve gone through awful stuff but i’m focusing on women #but women have a long history of being invalidated period and i think we should be more aware of it when it comes to stuff like this #i mean i see it used for spider-man or stiles stilinski and i just dont vibe with it #i love both those characters but the song isnt meant for them #then i see it used for characters like paul atreides or anakin or joker?? and i wanna fight #it’s like are you serious?? did you not even pay attention to the song? and you decide to use clips from their movies for it? #i’m very much aware that this is the internet and you can edit whatever you want and creative freedom or whatever #but i also have creative freedom to voice my opinion and disagree with the use #and i dont mean to gatekeep the song AT ALL #i just want people to really pay attention to the lyrics and recognize that it isnt some villain strut or badass ballad #it’s a song about being broken down to pieces and rising up despite it; telling those that pulled you apart or watched as you fell #that they SHOULD be afraid of you and what you’re capable of BECAUSE they’re the ones to blame for their own undoing #and i firmly still believe it’s a female rage song and should stay it #if you HAD to give it to a male character give it to someone who it makes SENSE for #someone like percy jackson or you know what no i change my mind #it’s so clearly meant for women that i’m not entertainting that idea #sorry for the rant #taylor swift #who’s afraid of little old me #the tortured poets department #ttpd #ts ttpd
