I am begging you all to finally learn the word "MerMAN" it really exists, I promis 🙈

You guys calling men mermaids reminds me of a former classmate who was like "male angels and male mermaids can not exist, it's weird. only women can be angels and mermaids"

I can't do this anymore. It already pained me with the KinnPorche fandom "mermaid" AUs. I swear there are many stories with MALE merMEN not just mermaids (the genderneutral version is merpeople or merfolk). And there are even RL merMAN performer too who actually fight against that mindset that only women are allowed to wear fins. (what's weird with this 'only for girls / only female' mindset that clearly comes from disney ariel marketing... is that even in ariel are mermen)

#lover merman the series #lover merman #merpeople #bl drama #mermen #merfolk #i am a fantasy creature nerd and obsessed with mercreatures okay #and I love that there are companies out there producing late.x fins #because of the guy in the gif(eric ducharm) who was the first who created fins because he always wanted to be a merman after watching ariel

i had to do a double take seeing your icon, i was so confused and was like 'oh?? a karna lover??? who do i follow that has a karna icon????'

you fooled me, i fell for it ;-;

i should switch to an arjuna one for the day

you could always switch to that one manga panel of arjuna in apocrypha just so it matches stylistically

also same ive actually been confusing myself everytime i see it

#honestly i kind of want to use another offical artist's arjuna for a little at some point #twinning w a karn blog switching our icons and confusing everyone. praxis #my asks #ironically being such a juna lover made me come around on karn alot. i used to be way #more critical of him and now im just like 'hehe thats his silly big brother. what a nerd <3' #critical discussion aside i am. a little soft on karn. just a little #shhh dont tell him

thoughts on the weaker points of drts? (this is a safe space)

(cracks knuckles) dont worry i have thoughts and i love sharing

not so much on the themes and messages because people smarter than me can debate that all day but one big thing that bugs me is the pacing

drts doesnt linger on certain important scenes long enough for it to really have an impact. things like when sailom was escorting for the first time—bigger drts fans know it will come again later but to casual viewers it feels like something that just Happens and everyone moves on with life as normal. there IS payoff for everything drts sets up but the series moves past the Buildup part too quickly and it just doesnt stick

there are also some scenes where i thought it might have helped to get more feelings across if the camera just Stayed There a few moments longer or if the episode let us really soak into the characters' emotions for a bit. this might be a subjective thing but the timing and pacing of a few scenes is just slightly off and doesnt bring out the full impact. not a problem if it happens once or twice but drts does this quite a lot and it starts to build up

i know pacing issues are because the show is so filled with Things Happening + the 12 episode limit but that doesnt mean im not going to point them out lololol its not something that bothers people already sold on drts i think but to casual viewers (the majority) 🥶🥶🥶 it does hurt the show

also i dont like the overuse of ost and flashbacks. its not the worst ive seen (damn you double savage) but it gets annoying very quickly. i love chimon's voice but i do not need to hear wind for the 3rd time this episode as we flash back to scenes that have already appeared in 2 separate flashback sequences

the weak points are mainly small things that add up tbh... not many weaker points as a whole because when drts takes its time and everything pays off? some of The best scenes in each episode

#inbox #thank you for asking anon (if this is the same person who asked about nlmg thank you for asking AGAIN) #if any actual film nerds want to debate about the pacing i am open of course #i studied theatre for 2 years not film ☝️ #i never really talk about the weak points because i am a drts Lover that isnt bothered too much

can’t wait till eddie returns in s5 but only in the same capacity as b*lly did in s4 (a vector for vecna to torment the actual protagonists) and he has no interaction or shared plot relevancy w steve, who also is literally unaffected by his death and makes no reference to him whatsoever (outside of maybe dustin’s arc) bc in and of itself st*ddie’s “relationship” has absolutely no canon value

#sorry but i am a hater first and foremost and if you watch st and care about steve OVER all other characters then you’re watching #the show wrong which is fine watch it however you want but please realize it’s not for you you are not the target audience #this show is for nerds queers and outcasts n trying to reclaim it for the popular jock lovers is objectively wrong and kinda fucked up tbr #i love steve but for what he actually is: a supporting character #and i liked eddie fine for what he was too: a one dimensional plot device #whose importance lies solely in his effect on the plot and the Actual main characters’ arcs #glad st became popular in that it got the opportunity to flourish for 5 seasons but hate that its popularity means that every idiot in the #world who doesn’t understand the entire point of the show gets to share their boring ass incorrect takes #anyway #beets posts

The Orc Tag on Tumblr

~60% discussions of LOTR/orcs in LotR

~40% warhammer orks stuff

~45% people being horny for orcs (44% men being horny for buff bear daddy orcs)

~20% orcs in D&D

~1%, at best, discussions of orcs from a worldbuilding/characterization in settings standpoints (the thing I'm searching the tag for)

#Yes that's more than 100% #The categories overlap #No hate on the mlm orc lovers just not my thing #I should be.... encouraged by the bear thing? Given that I was assigned male and am overweight? But actually I just hate it. #I don't want to be a buff orc daddy #I want to be a spooky and mysterious orc waif who holds mighty shamanistic powers behind a veneer of apparent wasting #But also rn I'm just looking for things I can steal to create orc culture for a D&D game #Cuz Tolkien orcs are boring cannon fodder mooks #Warhammer orks are a one-note joke--albeit a funny one #Blizzard orcs are... they're fine? I guess? But very uninspired tbh #Gimme the orcs with cultures that have been extensively written by queer lore nerds!

The TBR for September. The smallest one yet as I am getting closer and closer to my goal of eighty books. I am continuing on with my set TBR of ever changing genres. My five star prediction for the month is, ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks’. For my mood read, I will be picking up mystery thriller books to kick off the spooky season. My ebook sticks to whatever theme my mood reading is, this month, it will be ‘The Night Manager’ by John le Carré.

A conversation between My 10 yr old brother and my mother

My mom: you will read 5 chapters of a good book by tomorrow, that is if you want to watch TV or play roblox. Bro: that is not fair muuuum (imagine the whining here) you never make di (yours truly) read, she gets to watch TV and scroll through her phone. Mom : Because if i asked her to read she won't study the whole day and not sleep the entire night. Me from my room yelling : That's true. Bruhh, I wish I had the time to read. Because unlike your weak ass I won't be reading 5 chapters of a 100 page book.

Bro: proceeds to pick the shortest book possible from our bookcase

[parts of the convo may sound weird but that it because it took place in my mother tongue]

[shakes-writes]

ever since I came home from Greece I just look at the *scene* so much more fondly. 

#you know #the one where they confess their love #it's also a big deal because like #they always go back and think about it #and its also very in line with the play they do later antony and cleopatra #where the lovers always talk about the past and how great things were #and SORRY I AM A NERD
