the ST set design put the word “henry” behind Will’s neck in s4 and yet I’m supposed to believe that the word “women” being behind Mike when he’s upset and talking about “bullshit media propaganda” isn’t supposed to mean anything?

#stranger things #byler #like hot take but seriously what is the point of that if Mike is attracted to women??? #It Doesn’t Make Sense #It Only Makes Sense If He’s Gay #this is gonna be smthn I talk abt in my gay Mike analysis but….. ppl cherry-picking what scenes they think the set design has meaning in vs #which ones are ‘random’ and ‘ur looking too far into it’ gets so annoying sometimes #by all means disagree with my analysis but it’s like. if you believe that the set design team is capable of doing things like the detail of #henry behind Will’s neck and all of the byler details then why are they suddenly not capable of that same level of detail when it comes to #gay Mike? the logic just Doesn’t Make Sense #I’m not talking abt people disagreeing with the analysis of what the ‘women’ behind him means I’m tlaking abt people ignoring/dismissing it

I was wondering who kipperlily was reminding me of, and I finally remembered last night—ocean from ride the cyclone. as in, yes, these morals are fucked but also this is a child. it is the moral duty of the adults around her to foster better morals and traits like compassion and empathy. I can’t blame her for being so primed to be taken advantage of; that being said, if/when that influence is removed and if she is given a chance to change, that is on her.

in a meta sense, brennan has established that there is a difference in the teenage villains he creates, and the vast majority of them are not pure irredeemable evil—they were influenced/groomed into their role and given external support/the ability to be free from that and change, they take it. how I’m seeing it, that’s being set up for at least a few of the rat grinders.

I’m actually so upset over the grimmons resolution I’m tempted to start a YouTube channel and make a whole video breakdown of their fucking queerbait

#I’m saying this as someone who didn’t start shipping them until THIS YEAR #They’ve always kinda just been in the background to me until I was doing my rewatch and was like #hey wait #add onto their little series where they go over YouTube comment #and they literally call out their own ship name and grif has that moment where he clearly values Simmons and their time together #and then in restoration you have that ‘come with me’ moment #which was amazing I loved it #but for what?? #grif clearly only helped Simmons fight the meta because that’s what Simmons wanted to do #grif did not give a shit about what sarge would’ve done #but because Simmons was staying behind to fight he did to #HELLO? #this is never said explicitly but is clearly the case #the meta throwing grif onto Simmons okay #come on now #and just for what? #I understand and in part agree with what people are saying about how they both got what they wanted from the beginning #grif always wanted to leave #Simmons always wanted to be a leader #sure I get that. but sometimes…character development exists #and one or both of them can realize that their desires change or aren’t right for them #idk maybe I’m just coping but god damn #rvb #rvb restoration #rvb19 #grimmons #rvb grif #rvb simmons #red vs blue

hello hello here is my legally obligated Art Vs. Artist for 2023!!

I struggled a bit more with inspiration and motivation this year, but I still managed to make some art that I’m proud of and enjoyed creating! I did a fair bit of OC art, contributed to Art Fight, had an unexpected amount of fun painting eggs, and of course still had time to squeeze in some slutty Izzy art <3 (albeit not nearly as much as last year).

all in all, a bit of a random mix this year, but I’m hoping to make more progress and regain some proper inspiration in 2024 :))

as always, thank you a million times to everyone who supports my art (especially to those who supported me opening my brand new inprnt shop!!) I truly mean it when I say every comment, every reblog, and every sweet message means the world to me <333 I’m eternally grateful :)

#art vs artist #my art #of course I am doing this at the last minute but like. what else did you expect #to be completely honest I don’t think I really made much progress this year :/… but that doesn’t mean I’m not proud of what I made!! #it may be small progress but any progress always counts :)) #I’m just looking forward to hopefully regaining my motivation soon and having fun with art again!! #Izzy was truly my one and only muse for like 1.5 years so I think now that my hyperfix is faded my brain is genuinely kind of lost💀💀 #god pls send me a new hyperfixation soon

i think my gojo is fairlyyyy consistent throughout all of my fics but i kinda see them as seperate entities. the ari gojo multiverse. i want them to meet

#i need maid fic gojo and royalty au gojo to interact <33333 #the biggest simp vs the most devoted who wins…… #most of my gojos follow the same format but. some r written w a no curses au in mind so they’re less traumatized. like maid gojo… #i love him bc his biggest problem in life is that he’s worried he won’t be able to convince you to wear matching maid outfits w him #meanwhile literally every single other gojo is like ”i’m afraid intimacy will kill me once i have it.” #…….. then there’s bfb!gojo who is . the only one who isn’t smitten with his reader. they’d kill him i think #I LIKE THINKING ABT THEM…. i dunno if my gojo is very recognizable or not but!!! i like to think i have some sort of … gojo brand…. #ari noises ✩

i think it’s so beautiful how there are certain language features that we reserve purely for poetry and the like; there’s strict syntactical rules when speaking english day-to-day but if you want to play with them? bend them? break them? in the name of art? sure, go ahead. you can go a long way without impairing communication of your message, and on top of that—it just sounds prettier.

#i thought of this when reading some poem last week or the week before #and then i thought of it again listening to the mechs’ underworld blues #when heracles says ‘i came here your dog to seize’ #and then the very next day i had a spanish linguistics seminar on syntax where we were discussing when to use verb-object or object-verb #and in translating examples noticed when it’s acceptable to switch them in english too #though of course it works differently #but like ‘a castle stood upon the hill’ vs ‘upon the hill there stood a castle’ #that one’s only a mild example of this really though #not just restricted to poetry but common in prose too #of course there’s a lot of crossover and these rules are more lenient when writing prose than when speaking in daily life #but i’m more thinking of the absolute refusal to follow grammatical rules in favour of creating rhythm and rhyme that you find often #in poetry #i just love language #and this is just the standard rule breaking of poetry not even when people make a point of breaking rules as part of their art #poetry #language #dark academia #linguistics #english language

going into instagram comments is crazy it’s like seeing into a (much MUCH) worse alternate reality like You ppl live such unfathomably terrible lives to me….

#aside from the general everything they’re just so boring and miserable. Btw #sorry it’s just i’ve had insta on my phone lately (unfortunately i can’t delete it until the party ☹️) & every SINGLE time i see some sort o #reel and i’m like HA yknow what i think? and then everyone in the comments is saying the complete opposite thing #every single time without fail #the other day i saw a reel where a bartender dumped all the leftover stuff from the thing (idk what it’s called) into a cup and every1 in #the comments was like ugh yucky disgusting / yk ppl put even grosser stuff in their mouths like genitals. besides if it’s cleaned regularly #enough it should be fine / that’s a big IF. meanwhile i’m like Yum jungle juice 😋 #also one time i saw ppl talking abt how they sleep in binders at sleepovers COME ON reddit is free transtape exists. please #<- these r like the worst examples ever but it’s ok #also like the insane casual misogyny. it’s so bad out here guys #.txt #ppl arguing in the comments like ‘that’s like 2k calories’ / ‘why r u being negative besides it’s only like 300 at max’ / ‘it’s not #negativity’ GUYS.

I don’t think I will ever get over how the Batman Beyond Rebirth series treated/used Matt McGinnis during its run. Ever.

Cause one of the main reasons I dove into reading the rebirth series was to read about how Matt became Robin and what his time was like. And having read and finishing the entire run like a year ago it STILL upsets me how they set him up to be Robin, stressing that he is essential to Terry’s batman and to his success, only to rip it away ten issues later b/c “they didn’t want to bring in another child into the mission”.

Acting as if they hadn’t dragged Matt through the ordeal of being sidelined to helplessly watch losing his brother MULTIPLE times both before and after he was Robin. Like what was the whole point of that set up if they were just gonna rip it away?? Explain it to me, b/c I can’t find a damn reason.

#I’m surprised I have yet to share my anger about the rebirth run on this site yet but here we are #I srsly will never get over it #because they had a chance to expand the batfam/bat team for the beyond universe but they didn’t #instead they build it up then take it apart because why the hell not #terry mcginnis is the only one to matter here and anyone else can fuck right off #there could’ve been an introspective into what it is like to step into a legacy role that has been built for DECADES #and learning how to you’re gonna fit into it and how you will define it vs your predecessors #but dc are cowards and won’t do that #I can talk about this for ages but cMON #dc comics #dc #batman beyond #batman #robin #batman and robin #matt mcginnis #terry mcginnis #what sparked this on was because I looked into some of the stuff in the n52 and briefly saw how Matt was being handled there #bro literally cannot stop being sidelined and losing his brother I-

Hate scifi-fantasy magic/energy dichotomies where they talk all about balance but use genocide one side or the other to achieve it. Buddy breaking the scale doesn’t make it balanced. What the fuck do you mean the dark ones are all evil? They have an evil ideology? Okay yeah I see where that can be taken as evil but - NO it’s not balance if the only thing left is the light! You’re telling me there’s never been an evil light user? Oh there has? Then why the fuck has there never been good dark users??? (Answer: author doesn’t care about representing balance they just want easily coded good guys and bad guys).

#ra speaks #personal #writing #yes. this is about Star Wars. but also a ton of other series do this to varying degrees #like hmmm I don’t think genocide is the key to balancing the universe. as a concept that’s kinda sus for a writer to focus on. #again I don’t understand why the Jedi didn’t expect Anakin to be/become a dark side user? #‘he’ll bring balance to the force’ + ‘the Sith are all but extinct’ = okay so he’s gonna revive the sith. that’s what I’m getting from this #especially in EP I like. they really all thought the sith were extinct. only after that does ‘balance’ become ‘destroy tbe sith’ #like ? that’s not how balance works. you’re space monks haven’t you like. had philosophical discussions abt this great prophecy? #and like it’s so dumb why write a dichotomy hinging on balance and have one sides code be ‘lol yeah we’re selfish bastards’ #while the others is like ‘we must be selfless and disconnected to the point of self destruction and alienation’ #like those are both extreme interpretations but also. why is the sith code much more easily interpreted to that extreme. #‘oh they just intrinsically evil -‘ well that defeats the point of having a balance. there’s no coexistence with that. #I guess my point is. yeah Anakin obviously joined the dark side and yeah the genocide of the Jedi wasn’t out of left field I mean. #we go from 2-3 Sith vs thousands of Jedi to a neat little 2:2 (sheev and Vader. Luke and Leia) #<- I’m talking about canon and narrative ratios. obv we know more Jedi survived I’m just taking the og trilogy in isolation.

If all the AI fragments could each take an animal form what animals do you think they’d take?

furries of the fandom help me

#there’s a 10% chance I’m actually going to do soemthing with this #rvb #red vs blue #I WILL say I will count Human as an animal. but I’d like to keep the human forms at a minimum. alpha and beta only imo #owls are typically seen as intelligent so maybe delta would be an owl? #sigma is a snake is pretty obvious I feel…the idea of him being a fox is funny tho…Firefox…lol #my brain is telling me omega would be a Tiger but ehhh I’m skeptical about it but also I can’t think of anything better #theta could be a dog…like a puppy #I’m struggling with gamma…cuz he could just as easily be a snake or fox for the same reasons as sigma #I like the idea of gamma being a hyena tho…laughter and all that #but I would also personally kind of wanna keep the animals simple. like you could quickly doodle them and know what animal it is #I can’t remember if it’s eta or iota that represents fear but that one could be a rabbit #eta and iota rabbit and hare maybe

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.

i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….

and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:

- what do YOU want to do?

and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.

like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol

#now I’m thinking who else I can romance with her .. maybe lae’zel ?? #since the thing with her is that she doesn’t get vulnerable in act 1 so the scenes where the romances #are kind of heart to hearts like shadowheart’s or karlach’s (😭😭😭) is out of the question since it doesn’t fit her … #like she’d rather sleep with someone first than actually get to know them 😭 hence astarion and lae’zel … #gale and wyll… I am hmmm about it on one hand her approval with wyll in act 1 is not even high enough 😭😭 #and I don’t think she can be sweet enough to chase after him in the party .. she was kind of like ok fine whatever when he said he’s not in #the mood … gale I think can be a contender .. I actually don’t know how his route goes so I’m not sure abt that … #but the thing is … she gets vulnerable LATER ..!! and why astarion’s romance work for her is i hc after their act 2 scene #they’re just in a situationship rather than actual relationship … like they’re dating (yes!) but also dating (hmmmm) #and it’s only in his last scene where they both lock in bc I think that’s enough time for her to process her OWN trauma and also for her #own character development … like she has to learn how to trust (ack!!!!) which is the thing that you don’t do when you’re raised in lolth’s #cult …. and her mistress manipulated her trust too so it’s even more nerve wracking for her bc she doesn’t want someone to have that power #over her again .. but now she has to learn how to give it away freely … without being scared … bites my hand …!!!! #and astarion graveyard scene where he wants to live again vs shri’iia learning how to trust again and trying to live without the fear of #someone betraying you and using you and the paranoia that comes with it … urck urgh goughhhhhh critical hit … #also I have a hc that she actually is quite good at making poisons since her mother sold alchemy herbs and components #and she gives him poison as a courting gift lol .. also like a way to protect him 🤭 but she won’t admit that … she’s like if you want it #take it if you don’t idc 🤷‍♀️ (she does..) i hc that she gets flustered at sincerity actually #their relationship for me is like they’re both two little shits and a general menace to society (both charlatans) #but if they had to hold hands she’d get too flustered too and he’s like honestly what are you a child? (smug face making fun of her) #I have this little comic idea for them when they held hands for the first time and she’s like ouggghhh 😳😮‍💨 flustered and sweating and he’s #like hihi 🤭😎 but then their hands starts to get sweaty and then he’s like ew that’s disgusting and she’s like ok if u hate it let go then #and he’s like no YOU let go 🙄 but they don’t let go now they have to suffer through the sweaty hand holding alas such is fate …
