#still kinda weird af

[a-small-writer-in-a-big-world]

Still don’t see the appeal of “ah yes my favorite character cheated/abused me/did this horrible thing against me can’t wait to continue to fall in love with them” like…come on please be real

#I worry for some of you #because what in the world #I really really hope this isn’t what yall look for #and want irl #because please that’s not good at all #you shouldn’t want that #also it’s jsut really weird seeing that for my favorite characters #fandom discourse #write what you want #still kinda weird af #but pop off I guess

I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?

Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?

Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?

How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?

This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.

The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.

Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.

Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).

#jason's like blerghhh dad always loved you best. but also hey we should work together bc you're a killer like me #and then jason's also like hey dick you were the most amazing thing i've ever seen and idk you're cool but i won't say that to you #and then he's also like hey dick i've got girl advice for you and i also need your opinion on my hair. oh now bane is trying to kill us #and then he's also like oh you got amnesia? i don't give a fuck about you and maybe i'll kill you #and he's also like oh you trust me? okay well... we're brothers and i'm gonna save you #and then dick's like oh hey kid call me if you need me. oh you died? i am literally devastated i'm so sorry #and he's also like wow you're very good at what you do but i don't trust you... okay but i trust the intel you're giving me sooo.... #and then he's like why the fuck are you dressing like me and killing people?? quit doing stupid shit!! #and then he's like jason what the fuck are you doing--let me help you!! #and then he's like kinda indifferent to jason but jason is still Ugh this family is stupid why am i here #and then dick's like ofc i'm gonna come help you if you need me but also this is awkward af and things are weird between us so bye #except not bye because i'm staying here to help you and your team #and then dick's like i'm being controlled by joker so i'm gonna kill yoooou #and then he's like eh i trust you and i'm gonna help you bc we're brothers but you literally wrecked bruce's car you numbskull #and then he's like you're doing dumb shit and i have to take you down but oh thanks for not letting the train kill me #and then they're both like meh we're doing shit w the batfam even though neither of us should be here rn #and yeah that's how it goes. that's. literally it. writers cannot keep their relationship consistent in the long term #Dick Grayson #Jason Todd #relationship analysis #anon

The backlash against Frozen, which, from my observation, has cooled down (that isn't a joke, I swear-) quite a bit over the past few years, was less based on the quality of the movie itself and more on the fact that its massive success and reach really overshadowed a lot of other movies that came out prior to it and after it and was getting credited for stuff that had already been done before plenty of times, and in many cases, in those exact movies. This is why, to this day, many fans STILL refuse to give Tangled its props without trying to put Frozen down in some way. In their eyes, Tangled should have gotten the glory and accolades Frozen received, but did not, and that made them quite jealous. Overall, Frozen is far from a bad movie. It's a great movie with a great message, characters, music and does actually deserve the success and recognition it got, and some fans need to stop being so salty about it and uplift their fav movies without putting Frozen down so they get the proper appreciation they deserve as well. Although, yes, the credit this movie got for allegedly introducing themes, archetypes and tropes that had already been seen before in Disney, including movies set in a fairytale world with heroines as the protags, was undoubtedly the most annoying part about its success and is part of the reason why many tried to drag this movie and its main leads.

#disney #frozen #txt #ngl i was part of the hate train for a long time too #not as much as others tho but still i was one of these people who thought frozen was overrated af #but now i realized i was kinda full of it for that opinion #when i saw it the first time the major gripe i had with how many songs it had #but now i'm actually fine with that #idk my stance on this movie had always been a weird one #i have always contradicted myself when it came to this movie #until recently when i've finally begun to embrace it #i have always liked it and not liked it? idk. it's been weird #i do want to see thiw franchise get expanded but i'd prefer a tv series #and i think frozen ii needs a retcon ngl that movie was a whole shitshow writing wise #and the message was not as impactful i'm sorry but it's in line with the typical “the power is actually in me” bullshit #it's some selfish nonsense and is against the main theme of almost every disney movie #which is about how your dreams will come true if you have faith AND do for others. something even better will happen or you will want #something else entirely #it's about selflessness love and sacrifice whether it's romantic platonic familiar or even related to the community as a whole #but anyways that's an entirely different point #so yeah frozen isn't a terrible movie you guys. i think the anger is misplaced

Part of a post I'm writing that I think distracts from the actual subject of that post but I feel like saying it anyway;

The Crepus situation seems to be pretty well-preserved from manga to game, from what I can tell. Diluc's vague about it but actually saw the scene, from beginning to end. Kaeya insists Diluc killed his dad but arrived late and didn't actually see what happened, nor did he have a clear view of what Diluc was doing at the time.

Considering how I'm...relatively sure their whole confession-then-fight thing went down not too long later on top of everything else, I don't think they've ever actually, like...talked about it.

...What I'm saying is, I'm pretty sure Crepus died from the whole overuse of Delusion thing, especially since they made special effort to draw him disintegrating rather than as a regular-ass corpse, which is not something Genshin has ever or will ever shy away from. Not "trapped in agony and Diluc had to murder him himself". I could easily be wrong, but considering everything else we see and hear in the manga and game, it would be real fuckin' weird that the only person whose word we have to go off on for details is Kaeya, the belated party that was NOT there for inciting incident.

I genuinely think Kaeya made an incorrect assumption and just...hasn't ever had it cleared up. Because he and Diluc aren't talking. And who knows how Diluc's actually handling the situation. Whether he did or didn't mercy kill his dad, the survivor's guilt has to be immense regardless.

Anyways, point being, I love and adore Kaeya, I really do.

But he's a pessimist and also a little bit of an idiot at the best of times.

One that's smart, crafty, and perfectly capable in many areas, but keep in mind he was gonna kill Collei without actually assessing what her real problem was because he was projecting so hard, and I think he's only somewhat learned to project a little less in the actual game.

Not everything every single fictional character says is 100% actual, true, unbiased fact, even if the character themselves might 10000% believe in it.

And I just...think it's very deliberate that the manga showed the events the way it did, and ALSO had only Kaeya say directly that Diluc killed Crepus. We see the events for ourselves. The events are ambiguous and look way more like Diluc hardly had any reaction time beyond being able to pick Crepus up. (Which could easily be why he has blood on his face; from picking up a bleeding man.) It just feels deliberate. Very, very deliberate storytelling.

And Maybe I'm Wrong. That's not too weird. Maybe it'll never be confirmed one way or the other.

I just...think we shouldn't rest on our laurels and call something completely canon when it's, so far, been left very much ambiguous.

#chaotic rambles #organishin #the phoenix down #frozen febreze #that is a really REALLY dumb pun and i think it'll get me weird looks if i try to explain it-- #anyways that's my kaeya tag now-- #as i was looking at lines for puns Diluc's line about Kaeya says Kaeya can only be half-trusted #and man aint he right for the wrong reasons huh-- #see that's what we call being biased af but also being kinda sorta right by coincidence #anyways dont listen to either one about the other they're both wrong #as an aside im genuinely shocked i dddont think i mixed up Kaeya and Diluc's names in this even once #i have a very clear idea of both characters separately but for some reason my brain will mix up their names and weapons #and i dont know WHY #gettin' better at it but i've still fucked up relatively recently--

help nooooo i just realised that they butchered akechi’s character too

#i mean… would mr ‘don’t run in the halls’ really *really* smile as two of his students play tag in said halls? #who is he and which ‘verse is he from? the m*t* s**t* ‘verse???? #reliving the [redacted] anime is oddly therapeutic in a way. it gives me an appropriate channel for anger venting #so thanks [redacted] anime for being the anger management course that you are </3 i still hate you though </3 #man it’s almost 2 am and i need to be up in 4 hours but i stayed up late to read pksp anyway whoops #binge reading the su-mo chapter was quite the experience. i’m glad the bookstore had all 6 vols when i dropped by #and now i finally understand the moon berlitz references. hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa #i lost it when the faba faba-d off though. sorry (not sorry) faba dude kinda deserved it #but man. freakin’ moon and her ‘is ok i studied pharm sci i know how to make all medicines :))’ #girl pls what kind of magical pharm sci school did you go to? i never learned anythingggg but placebo pills :(( (former pharm sci student) #reminds me that the capsules we used for class were old af and expired so the capsule filling task didn’t go well at all #making suppositories was weird though. shapin’ the thing and pressing it into the mold and all… #but the expensive tablet making machine was very cute. the temptation to smash it to bits was even cuter though~~

thinking about plunging into rereading WoT, I think I made it about halfway before I gave up

#and that was the second attempt #idk I always thought it was one of those series where I'd have to be a guy to get it honestly #very bro fantasy tbqh #I still like some of the female characters like Nynaeve is great. love her. I liked Lanfear and Moiraine a lot too #otherwise RJ was just such a Man about everything it was kinda embarrassing #idk my litmus for good female characters is probably a little different tho lmao #like to me the best way to ruin your female characters is to have their lives revolve around a man with NO respite #I understand Rand IS the plot for a good chunk of the series but also. lmao #and then none of the female characters are able to do things simply because they want to do them #they have to be dedicated at all times to facilitating the success of a man #idk it rubbed me the wrong way I guess #“oh but everyone has to do that hype dragon” yeah but also the men get to engage in typical man fantasies on top of that lmao #and the women? they do shit because they have to. complete dedication to duty at all times #and if they have a little bit of fun they get smacked down both by the other characters and the narrative #maybe it changes as the series goes on but the first six books were just. constantly reminding me of this lol #I don't think it's wrong to have duty-bound female characters or female characters that are that dedicated to something #but it just stood out like a sore thumb when the other half is “guys get to do cool shit and look miserable about it” #whereas there was some weird dominance/control thing going on constantly with the women #and idk even my pickme former self would have taken issue with this sort of thing lmao #also yeah the gender essentialism is weird af #also one line about Elayne feeling like she had to compete with her mom for Thom's romantic affections stuck out to me #and has haunted me ever since I first heard it on the audiobook #like it buried itself into my mind and it's all I remember about these books sometimes #all that said there are things I liked about WoT but not enough to make me read the whole thing lmao

[doebt]

You guys i was sleep deprived and like borderline suicidal and on the verge of tears all day today no idea wtf happened to me. like maybe moving is more stressful than i realised or maybe i was just hungry and tired but wowww ummm... glad thats over *slept and ate and feeling mostly better now*

#I think im also stressed out ab money LOL like im fineee but def have been spending like 4x as much as i normally do #but i got paid tonight and the paycheck is kind of ass but i still feel kinda better #just going to be frugal af until the next check and itll be ok #Also as hard and tedious this has been it has really demonstrated my dads weird change of heart lately #like he has mellowed out significantly and has been so helpful and chill and genuinely nice to me #Its so weird i never thought id get to a point where there would be such little tension #like Im not really even that scared of him anymore #and not in the ''i dont live w you so you physically cannot hurt me anyway'' way like before #Its sooo weird i think the weirdness of it is ironically stressing me out mentally too #like its good though obviously

I was cleaning out my room and found some of my drawings from way back in October/November when my Peter Lorre obsession just started

#i have a couple more but i think theyre all ones i posted before #im sure youll be shocked to learn that at this time id only seen 3 of peters films #infact i coukd be mistaking but im not even 100% sure id actually seen tmf yet at the time i drew this picture #idk something about how i drew them makes me feel like i hadnt seen their actual dynamic within the context of the film yet but im not sure #peter lorre #the maltese falcon #joel cairo #arsenic and old lace #herman einstein #sam spade #also sorry about herms big ol snot #i remember for a good while before my pete obsession really took hold i was a big fan or drawing weird kinda gross-out cartoony art #my art #spades fingers look weird af #man! i cannot draw bogey to save my life #theres this picture i drew of spade and cairo the other day where spade just looks aaaawful #his face is way too small and i accidentally made his hands initially too big and i tried to fix it and ended up giving him these creepy #lil chicken feet hands #which is unfortunate cause his hands are very relevant to the image #eh ill probably still send it someday

walking through my bathroom in my fuzzy socks after spraying a generous amount of detangler/curl definer in my hair: we slidin'

#btw - if you have curly hair give 'not your mother's' tahitian gardenia & mango curl defining detangler a shot!! #affordable AND it's literally the best detangler I've ever used. smells good. actually does help define curls #on wash days I spray some of this and I've been using my diffuser to kinda get it a little dry since it's FREEZING and who wants wet hair #but it's all I use and it comes out pretty good! despite my hair usually frizzing up like a tumble weed at the mere sight of my blow dryer #I still use a weird technique to dry it but 🤷‍♀️ even still it would be frizzy AF with tons of other products #erin explains it all

I hate how inconsistent the temperature iOS this time of year. Today the high is like 64 but two days from now they are predicting a high of 80 something. Every morning i have to check the weather to see what I have to do, air conditioning on or off, and when I’m getting out my clothes for the day i have to figure out just how much of the day I’ll be outside. In the morning it will be like 60 something and then at noon it’s like 80. What pants am I supposed to wear like this? And do I need a sweater or will it just be extra bulk in warmer weather? On Monday I was like “oh hell yeah, I can wear my skinny jeans now. And the new ouija board sweater i got at target! And then yesterday it was 75 and i forgot to check the weather so i didn’t turn on the air conditioning or open a window until i noticed it was uncomfortably warm in the afternoon and i had trouble falling asleep because my bedroom (i don’t open the window here very often because i live near train tracks and I’d rather not hear it louder in my bedroom while i try to sleep, and any wind will blow my curtains around and let light in) even with my window open all night while it dipped to around 60 felt too hot, but I refused to use the air conditioner when it was 60 out and nice. I had been using the stove though and that combined with my body heat and the weather warming the small apartment up, I was sweating in my bed and I couldn’t fall asleep. And then! If you sweat a whole lot overnight and your window is open cooling the place down, you’re hit by cold when you remove the blanket. I need to wash shorts and pants and it’s weird. September is always super inconsistent here.

#emma posts #and when i have my window open to the cold I worry about my cactus #I wonder if living on the second floor makes it warmer? heat rises #and when we had that insane cold snap last winter the first floor felt cold enough for a coat indoors m #I think the actual apartments were warmer with the heaters but it was still cold af #I’m surprised my African violet didn’t die #that thing has been through hells and keeps going #is scoffs at any other plants i have that maybe get stressed by watering schedule being changed or temperature dropping a little more than #is comfortable for them #a seasoned veteran who has put up with the strain that is depending on a human with adhd #looking upon the orchid that stopped flowering the moment I forgot to water for a little too long #those violets can live for 80 years and i don’t want to jinx it but i would only be half surprised #if the violet outlived me. it might be a close competition though because the women on my dad’s mom’s side of the family have lived crazy #long lives. at least one got cancer. but unlike her husband she got better #to be fair she had skin cancer and everyone else in that family that got cancer got it way worse #my grandpa lived like two decades longer than the doctors expected when he was diagnosed but towards the end it wasn’t great #so on my dad’s side it’s kinda like. if cancer doesn’t kill you you’ll be old af #unfortunately cancer has gotten several people #I’m half convinced that something the farm was using back in the day was worse than they thought #I don’t know of anything that has actually been proven to cause cancer being used. but it’s weird that it happened four times #maybe it was the aresenic water? it’s filtered now but no one knew the groundwater had it until I was like six or seven
