it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way

#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment #because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth #literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom #to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence #the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist #or like the rest of the world doesn’t #and the magic of that freedom #like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count #they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight #why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭 #i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry #i fear absolutely none of this makes sense #kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this #the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much #puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you #and this is just one example too #right i’m going to stop rambling now #but one last thing before i go #on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺 #alex turner #humbug era #arctic monkeys #alex vid #lulu posts

Reminder that hypermobility is not just being a bit more flexible than normal and that if you use someone "just" being hypermobile as a reason to claim they don't count as chronically ill/physically disabled you're an uneducated ableist POS! :)

Did you know that if someone is hypermobile, it actually LIMITS their mobility in some ways? Did you know it frequently causes chronic pain? Did you know that hypermobile people are both more likely to dislocate joints than non-hypermobile people AND are less likely to seek professional medical care when it happens? Did you know that some hypermobile people have to use mobility aids because of their hypermobility? Actually, did you even know that hypermobile people can also be extremely inflexible? Turns out that when your muscles are having to constantly over-compensate to prevent your joints from popping out, they tend to get a bit tense and uncooperative!

Hypermobility is a physical disability and can be a severely limiting one, and it is SHITTY to imply that people with it are just using it as an easy way to claim a "physical disability card". If I catch you saying this shit IRL, I'm gonna hit you with my forearm crutches that I use so my hips don't dislocate in public.

#disability #cripplepunk #hypermobility is already extremely misunderstood so I'm not gonna stand for the cpunk community using it as a gotcha like that #there was so much else shitty about that post and yeah i do have an opinion on the whole NDs in crippunk spaces thing #but 1. i don't wanna clutter this post up and make it super obvious if it's not already what post prompted this #and 2. this issue is NOT an acceptable excuse to play fucking Oppression Olympics like everyone has turned it into #you know who FOR SURE doesn't belong in cpunk spaces? ableists #don't care if you're physically disabled yourself you do NOT get to use a punk-community movement to further ableist rhetoric against ANYON #not on my watch

fellow clara oswald enthusiasts, why do we think clara said she “had” to be with danny pink in dark water?

#read tags #i always felt it was odd choice of words when watching. #the obvious thing to say to someone you love is ‘i need to be with you’ not ‘i have to be with you’. #before anyone jumps me: i’m not a dannyclara anti. i’ve grown to quite like them actually. #but whether or not danny had died i don’t i think they would have worked out and not due to doctorclara! #series 8 constantly showed they wanted different things from life. danny wanted to settle. clara wanted the adventure. #this is even shown to be true in last christmas when clara’s an old woman. #with or without the doctor she’s made for the adventure. #moffat himself said they wouldn’t have worked out because clara was too ready to lie to him. #it was in a behind the scenes commentary for the magician’s apprentice i think. or the whole of series 9. #but it’s on video and it’s there. #so back to clara saying ‘i have to be with danny pink’ #she says she will do WHATEVER IT TAKES and go WHEREVER HE IS to be with him. #she must know that includes dying. so why does she say she has to? #perhaps i’m looking to much into it. #clara oswald #twelfth doctor #danny pink #doctor who #clara oswald meta #doctor who meta #just tagging twelve because it’s his era.

What was it like for you starting out as a beginner artist? How did you improve?

I mostly just incessantly practiced, experimented, and observed a lot for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a lot of videos going over tips and techniques for beginner artists and mostly just observed their processes and would try to bring them into my art. Othertimes I would just constantly experiment with my artstyle (what if I made the shoulders more defined, what if I changed the size of how I draw eyes, what if tried drawing different body types, what if I tried a pose with a lot more foreshortening etc etc). I tried to push myself a bit further everytime like maybe spending more time on the overall piece, adding backgrounds, drawing multiple people interacting. Drawing challenges also helped a lot I think since they pushed me out of my comfort zone or forced me to approach my art in different way than what I was used to. Things like “draw something using only one line and not lifting your pen from the paper”, or “create a bunch of random shapes using a colored marker and then turn them into characters/objects”, or even just dtiys challenges were great for this. A lot of the drawings I made from these didn’t really end up being things I was super proud of after finishing them, but thats fine since I still learned a lot and they still helped with improving. A lot of it was honestly just not being afraid to draw something I might not be happy with later in the name of getting that practice in and trying new things all the time.

I hope this is helpful, but I’m not too sure so I’m sorry if it isn’t, this is the best way I could think of summarizing it!

#pedia says stuff #asks #not drawing #so sorry it took a while to answer this #i had a bit of trouble putting it into words and was worried i was just defaulting to the usual answer of ‘i practiced’ #but this whole thing still might boil down to ‘i practiced’ so. so sorry i tried #i just got excited all the time over learning new things and still do #shoutout to younger me who excitedly got up at 5am to look up fun2draw tutorials so i could work on that before getting ready for school #shoutout to me in middle school who got so stressed out when people would watch me draw #so i just learned to draw really really fast as like a stress thing #also sidenote if anyone ever does the ‘omg you draw?? can you draw me??’ #hit them with the ‘sure here are my prices’. 90% of the time they will either back off or actually be willing to pay #i WISHHHHH i knew that in school instead of being too nice to say no

HOLD ON i can't stop thinking about a take i keep seeing that's like "kraken ed wasn't really that bad, he only hurt izzy and izzy deserved it." because like, even putting aside the izzy apologist in me, it's still just objectively wrong. he pushed lucius off the ship! as far as anyone knew he killed him!! that seems kind of like hurting someone to me!!

#plus the yknow. threatening the crew with a gun #nearly killing them all #not to mention the crew watching him hurt izzy is not a great fucking time for them #like even if they think he kinda sucks ur boss just fuckin SHOT him !! you're probably gonna be a little scared of the guy after that!! #anyway i still have mixed feelings about the whole “ed is abusing izzy” thing #but i have been rotating this in my head for a while and i need to say it here or i'll start talking to my mom about it #i have already discussed with her the izzy dying discourse at length #ofmd #ofmd s2 #izzy hands #ofmd 2 #our flag means death #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #edward teach #sorry i don't know how to tag this for ppl who don't want to see it #i assume anyone who'll be too annoyed by it has blocked me already

riku’s whole series-spanning journey of redemption and trying to become the hero he was supposed to have been is kind of interesting to me. bc he like hardcore beats himself up over what he did but it’s not even the worst thing he did. yeah he gave in to darkness in kh1 but it’s really hard to blame him for all that much imo. not trying to say it was fine but in the grand scheme of things idk. again in the sequence leading up to kh2 he resorts to using the power of darkness to defeat roxas and in kh2 he’s beating himself up for that again. all like oh man i’m not worthy to be sora’s friend i’m not worthy of anything. meanwhile sora has never once this whole time felt resentment for riku and just wants him to come home and really riku you don’t have to beg him for forgiveness. but riku is really trying to forgive himself. bc he’s so hurt by the fact that he ever hurt sora at all. we see it all the way up to kh3 how much regret he feels for what happened all the way back in kh1. he is deeply devoted to sora and it makes him blind to the fact that hey um. you’ve actually like hurt several other people along the way maybe like apologize to them and earn their trust maybe it’s actually your bond with other people you gotta work on. like maybe go talk to roxas actually maybe go communicate clearly with kairi for the first time in years maybe say hey xion sorry for telling you to uhhhhh do that. like

#he DID need a whole redemption arc. but for something else entirely #riku’s whole thing is like he’s like the best person imaginable toward sora. everyone else better watch out though #i don’t personally find it admirable… #i know i know. guy who would kill anyone for you = coolguy. but only in certain contexts #like humor. orrrr being classified as a villain or at least morally gray #i love the development of his relationship with sora but ultimately it makes him. kind of the same as kairi #if his identity becomes based on one person #he has more agency and gets to fight more but his motives are much the same #not that it’s bad to have a single favorite person #but both riku and kairi are really in need of some other friends to round out their characters #of course they do have other people. including each other. but none of those bonds are fleshed out enough #kingdom hearts #mine: kh #mmm i won’t tag this any more i’m just getting thoughts out not trying to be controversial

"i'll tell him soon", amaro says and then it didn't get out for another 3 years lol. get hot pink jjba oc blasted

in honour of @toxic-ship-tournament here's some silly backstory to amaro and calamari, ft their friend violino (@sboopie's oc!)

@hottopicabbacchio also wrote a lil blurb for this under the cut!!! please read it i'm going insane <3 smile

“So what do you want?” “I want you to tell Mari what you did.”

Amaro attempted to look unphased, crossing his arms and shrugging as he stared at Violino. He knew exactly what they meant. “What would be the point?” Violino shot him a look as she stepped around the mannequin. “The point would be that they would know. Especially is this is going to just be another phase for y-” “Have you seen any of the others last this long?” Amaro huffed out a breath. “It’s already been 4 months, if I wanted to drop him I already would have.”

Amaro was trying to push down the thoughts of when he had been using his stand on Calamari. He did feel bad for it, he knew she wasn’t even needed. For all of his yearning for something real he’d gotten too used to using his stand anyway, he can’t even use her on half the guys he passes in the street anymore. It wasn’t until after Poplar St revealed herself to him and he noticed she had all her swords on her while Calamari slept that he even realized he had stopped using her. There wasn’t a pinpoint last moment he could recall, but there was a very definitive moment for him when he knew he had fallen for Calamari - the same way Calamari had for him since the start.

Calamari should know. Amaro just… Needs to find the right time.

He looked up at the sound of a sigh and heels clicking on the ground as Violino stepped fully out of his workspace. She had a hand on her hip and was fixing him with a very pointed look. “Listen. You’ve had your little hookups, one night stands, phases, whatever you want to call them all - people know. I’m sure Calamari knows about them too but what he doesn’t know is that you used your stand on them, and that’s not fair.” Violino stopped walking once they were right in front of Amaro. “I don’t care what you were doing before, that’s your issue. But this time has gone on too long.” Amaro clenched his jaw and stared her down. “And who are you to tell me how I should feel now? You don’t think there’s a reason they’ve lasted so long?” Amaro felt sick to his stomach about the way he was talking about them. He sighed and uncrossed his arms, running a hand through his hair. “I… I don’t need anybody else telling me when I should do this.”

“Then I’ll do it.”

Amaro’s eyes widened and he dropped his arms to his sides. “You wouldn’t.”

Violino took another step closer and shoved his finger into his face. They were serious. “I would. If you’re not going to tell them then I will. He needs to know.”

Before they had a chance to say another word, Amaro grabbed Violino’s face and pulled him closer. His nails were digging a bit into her cheeks a bit and he pulled them so close that their noses were practically touching. Amaro was trying to keep his breathing steady.

"Violino,” His voice was low. “Listen to me. Don’t fucking ruin this for me, I have it under control, okay?” Amaro could see the doubt in her eyes. She tried pulling back but Amaro held fast. “I swear I’ll tell him soon. Don’t get involved, just let me handle it.”

Violino hummed, narrowing their eyes. She brought a hand up to rest on his elbow and Amaro allowed them to lean back a bit but didn’t let go quite yet. “Give me a reason why I shouldn’t go out and tell them right now.”

Amaro sighed and finally let go of Violino to allow her to stand up straight. It was easier to hide his shaking that way anyway. “Because I already stopped using my stand a month ago and I fucking love him?” That was probably the first time he had admitted that outloud.

“Great,” Violino didn't seem swayed. “Give me another.” Amaro shook his head and looked at Violino with desperation. “… Please?” He felt all the fight leave his body. “Vio, it has to be me who tells him. I told you I had it handled, I’m just… I’m trying to find the right time. I’ve never had to do this before.” Violino’s expression softened a bit, but she still didn’t seem convinced. “And when will the right time be?”

"Soon, I promise, okay? I’m still trying to understand what even happened myself, I don’t even know when exactly I stopped using Poplar St, it just kinda happened. I know Mari needs to know, I know he’s going to be mad at me, I know that it’s not fair. But I also know that I want to stay with him for as long as I can.” He took a shaky breath in, held it for a second, then let it out. “So… Please. Let me do this myself.”

Violino chewed on his lip for a second, giving a more pitying look at Amaro before closing her eyes and sighing. “Fine. Fine. I’ll tell Ambrose to keep quiet as well. Just don’t come crying if this backfires.”

Amaro simply nodded. “Thank you, Vio.”

probably my favorite little thing in witch from mercury that references past gundam (that isn't particularly obvious) is the duelist's creed

"victory is not decided by mobile suit performance alone, or the skill of the pilot alone. the result is the only truth"

this is of course a reference to the first thing to trigger an amuro BSOD in 0079- ramba ral telling him that he only won because of the performance of his mobile suit, instead of his skill as a pilot. (shortly after this, ramba ral ends up dying, so it's not like he can see amuro grow or anything.) obviously him outspeeding the gundam's response time later in the show decisively refutes this, but...

g-witch is quite notably about pilots and mobile suits and how specifically a pilot and a mobile suit work together for the best results. different pilots can do vastly different things, even in the same (or very similar) suits; just look at guel and lauda in their dilanzas, or chuchu vs. pretty much anyone else in a demi trainer.

of course, aerial and suletta are the epitome of this "horse and rider as one" type of feeling, which makes their separation this episode so interesting. even if aerial weren't, well, suletta's actual sister, they're the best matched mobile suit and pilot we've seen in terms of capabilities; nothing about the suit holds suletta back, and nothing about suletta's piloting skill holds aerial back. contrast the darilbalde's AI, or the entire GUND format killing its pilots, vs. how even with no permet functions whatsoever suletta knows exactly how to pilot aerial to the best of her capabilities.

this is what makes their separation so interesting, besides the character drama; they're basically the only mobile suit/pilot combo where one isn't holding the other back in some way we've seen in this show, so them being separated is a soft refutation (for a little bit) of one of its themes- the interface between humans and technology. anyway watch mobile suit gundam 0079 even if you started with mercury. it's got a surprisingly similar tone, and despite the old animation still looks very good and maintains a solid plot.

#gundam #g-witch spoilers #i've got a pinboard and some string right now #it's all connected #(g-witch has references to pretty much every other gundam to be clear) #(but tonally at least where we are in s2 it resembles 0079 the most of the shows i've watched) #which is most of UC except crossbone and f91 #as well as s1 of ibo #but UC varies wildly in tone throughout the whole thing #(just ask anyone who watches zeta and zz back to back) #long post

Baela and the Myth of the Child Fighting Pits

Not sure why I keep seeing from green-leaning accounts that in Fire and Blood, Baela visited the child fighting pits. But this is what F&B says about Baela post-Dance:

Nothing about child fighting pits. In fact this is what shows up when I search ‘pits’ in Fire and Blood:

The definition of a rat pit according to awoiaf:

Not the best of places, I’m not going to defend it but there’s nothing about children there (also lower down it’s stated Mushroom said these are the places Aegon II would frequent, which the show turned into child fighting pits).

Also saw it said on here that Baela celebrated Jaehaerys’ murder… Her reaction was not recorded.

Baela is many things and she is not perfect but what I’m seeing is just not accurate. And that’s not even getting into what I’ve seen on Reddit where they say she wasn’t faithful to Jace before his death and was kissing squires while he was in Winterfell. (Narrator: she wasn’t.)

#Fire and Blood #baela targaryen #forget media literacy #actual literacy seems to be dead #though I lean green in some ways this is why I’m not really into the whole ‘team’ thing #except ‘team chaos’ tbh #hotd #kinda #since one account which espoused what’s said above also said Baela’s a bully in the show #Were we watching the same show #Guess they’re talking about the fight with Aemond and I like Aemond but all the kids were in the wrong there #the girls less than the boys since they were grieving #dealing with a deadbeat dad who barely acknowledged their existence the whole time they were there #and they also hardly knew anything about the bullying and taunts Aemond had faced growing up #all the kids were in the wrong but I could see why they all did what they did and how it escalated #the blame should be on the adults above anyone #the fight between the children was a microcosm and consequence of the animosity between their parents #I also think it’s interesting the amount of parallels between Viserra and Baela #Not just the pits but the drunken rides through King’s Landing and betrothals arranged btwn them and men old enough to be their grandfather #I don’t think we’re supposed to take Baela’s actions post dance wholly as a leisure jaunt #They’re also rooted in trauma from most of her family being dead in a bloody and brutal civil war
