#I don’t work at one but they do exist

[jondoe279]

atp i genuinely doooon’t care if the old guard two is the worst thing put to film i just want to see the best character of all time (andromache the scythian) and her loser henchmen and everyone’s favorite girl nile freeman again

#its not even funny anymore WHERE IS ANDY AND NORIKO!!!!!!!!!!! it was supposed to be the year of dyke drama 😞😞😞😞😞😞 #like given the way they structured the first movie the second would have to be almost wholly original and differ a lot from the comic #like andy cant go thru the shit noriko puts her thru so im guessing the script would switch her out with nile getting tossed in the ocean #but that doesnt really work with norikos comic characterization (trying to get andy to see her point by making her go thru what noriko did #isnt something quynh will gaf about if andy isnt one of the immortals. andys become thr ‘vermin’ noriko hates!!!) #and given the end of the movie everyones chill with copley so joe and nickys whole subplot cant exist anymore…. idk maybe theyll switch out #copley with moose?? idc as long as we get their stupid car conversation tbh makes me laugh #honestly given the changes that would have to be made they probably just made a stupid movie and don’t want to release it. but I DONT CAREEE #its not exactly like the first one was that good i still mute it in preparation for every cringe needle drop like its a lame movie but its #genuineeeeee fun like i seriously do not care netflix give me my movie!!! #the old guard

obsessed w the confidence of the people who comment fully in portuguese on my fics. never once have i said that i speak portuguese nor indicated that i can understand it yet there r multiple people out there leaving multi-sentence comments & sometimes even paragraphs in a language i do not speak. just fully confident that no language barrier will stop the message from getting across…i love u

#also i do speak enough spanish 2 get the gist of what’s been said so. it works out #& translators exist as well etc…still i just find it funny & charming #especially funny bc like. no one is leaving comments in spanish which i do speak. nor any other language that i don’t speak #it is specifically just portuguese in my comments. portuguese-speakers ur confidence is unmatched #honestly at this point i’ve been gaslit like. did i accidentally tell u guys i speak portuguese at some point #txt

reminding myself on this busy morning that i also have dreams of taking piano lessons & singing lessons & also honing my writing skills & absorbing as many books as i used to when i was a kid & at the very least taking up cute tennis dates & dabbling into art & just becoming an artistic generalist. also reminding myself that there are pre-meds out there who managed to pursue something they’re passionate in (some are even professional athletes) & still excelled in medicine & if they can do it so can I

#Delusional? Maybe a little bit but this is what i wanna do w my life and I don’t wanna choose one or the other #If I drop science/medicine I feel empty #If I don’t have my creative outlets I feel empty #My existence is a symbiotic meeting of these two facets #It’s possible bc other ppl have done it but I just need to achieve godly levels of time budgeting and drive basically #I was raised on the belief that if you want something badly enough you’ll make it happen!! So that is what I’m going 2 do #I mean when I make it to residency the 80 hr work weeks probably won’t allow for much lol BUT #I don’t like the popular opinion that med school doesn’t allow time for anything else. #So many med students have said that u have plenty of time & that it will be a period of self discovery exploration etc #Idk we’ll see. But!! I intend on making this work. #p

the last unicorn post from earlier has me thinking about the master. that yana is still in there, you know? is still someone he was, if even for a brief flash across the life of a time lord. there’s no way to unlive that life. there are ways to twist it later, sure, to make utopia into hell on earth. but the life was lived. in much the same way that the doctor can remember, can feel, the love he held onto as john smith even as that life is ripped out of his hands. the doctor choose denial and then grief and then to shutter it all away. and so john smith died, and so professor yana died, and the doctor and the master live on. the doctor has done this before, and he lives in orbit around humanity, trying to keep the best parts of them and hold them deep enough to take root (which he can pretend he gets to choose, as a time lord. as a human, it all floods in and can’t be dug back out.) but what about the master, right?

to borrow a turn of phrase: i think there are two time lords left in the universe, and they both learned how to regret.

#regret here meaning less feeling the emotion of actual regret obviously because time lords do not actually funxtion on unicorn rules. they #already get sad just fine on their own. no humanity needed for that. #but i dont know. i just dont think he brushed it off so easily. i think he did a hell of a job convincing himself he did. #and what better way then to twist his own great works and destroy the species he was working so hard to save at the end of the universe. #but what about the knowledge that he *could* be that person. that somewhere in him exists a version that wanted to save people. #a version that is painfully too much like the doctor. even. now is that part worse or better than the human part? #but if past regenerations are ghosts i think yana deserves a haunt. #anyway maybe ignore this one im rambling about nothing here #theres just. i dont know. what if you were the last of your kind and in surviving you made yourself Not Like Them in a way you’ll never #escape. #i mean doctor who is just so concerned with all these plots about hybrids and children of the tardis and clones and What Makes A Time Lord. #but they’re so obsessed with it in just. a very Lore way. is what it feels like. we get brushes of more like with jenny and how she’s #physically a time lord and the doctor denies her that inheritance. a shared suffering… #but me myself im just fascinated with the doctor and the master as the time lords who survived. but they survived Wrong #its. its. children of gallifrey that don’t belong to her anymore. you know? #i dont care if river’s got time lord dna!!! or the metacrisis is physically human!!! i dont care!!! talk to me about what it means beyond #their blood and bones!!! what’s it like to have your sense of self stripped from you like that!!! #what’s it like when so much of you is the shed skin of time lords past. but one of you was human. one of you was painfully *humiliatingly* #human!!! #enough about how much dna you need to count as a time lord. i want to know how much they can mutate until they can’t be recognized as one. #does that make sense?

#asks #look im not a believer of the existence of cringe but my writing may very well be. cringe DHGKLS i haven't practiced in so long #im glad you asked this bc i’ve recently gotten back the motivation to work on the comic/au again and im so excited for it #but i was worried people aren’t interested or don’t remember it anymore #so sorry if there's people who've been waiting since seeing that one tag in my last mcsm post in uh. oct?? #i hate teasing things and then not delivering for so long so the least i can do is have something to show for it #not gonna promise this’ll come soon but i WILL see it through no matter how long it takes! ty for the patience!

[clownsuu]

I think my ask on the other blog got eaten by tumblr so I'm just re-ask it here. Can we get more lore on Douglas, Jack, Fytó, and Mayor Ignis?

O shid??

*proceeds to break all my bones*

So they are all part of this lil item head world iv created where depending on what kind of head you have will determine your status in their society. Like Jack the poker chip owns a family passed down casino, Douglas has a cash register-ppphhhhone thing-????, Fytó is a pitcher that uses his head as a vase, and Mayor Ignis is a chandelier.

Ignis is, to put it lightly, a horrible father and Mayor. He hasn’t stepped into his office for years besides to do his mandatory speeches and conferences. Instead, he spends majority of his time at the casino livin’ it up and getting absolutely wasted. His son (Phoenix) is heavily disappointed in his father and refuses to associate with him, living with his mother in a different city.

Also not only did Ignis basically abandoned his family and job, he has also given finance and power to the CEO of the country’s most used and morally corrupt banker.

Douglas.

Nobody really knows of Douglas’s origins- the bank has existed far before the birth of Ignis and mysteriously has been seen as the most intimidating and powerful bank out there. He has destroyed countless of businesses and ruined lives of millions for his own profit. He’s a disgusting man. Anyone who even utters anything about having money is said to be cursed by a mail the next day saying they owe millions to the bank even if they only have pennies. Douglas is cruel, and thrives watching people suffer and beg underneath his foot as he laughs maniacally. One of those people being Jack.

Jack is a skilled player in the ages of poker and gambling in general. He knows when to quit, and he knows when to move forward. He’s a really smart man who cherished and loved his family’s casino with all of his heart to a point he is willing to make sacrifices to keep the place afloat. However one year he has been fed up with the threats the bank has been making to their casino and has decided to fight it. Douglas has told them that he could be completely free from the threats and money issues as long as he could defeat Douglas in a single game. At first Jack thought that would be a easy win due to his skills and knowledge, however after losing aggressively to a cheated hand, they were forced to give ownership to Douglas.

In the poorer side of town, there is a little flower shop just barely outside of the bustling streets. Another family owned business of kettles, pitchers and tiny little tea cups. However due to their heads not being wealthy enough and not having enough history, they have no choice but to replace the meaning of their heads from drinks to flower pots. Fytó, the eldest brother of all of his 6 sisters has been keeping the place running with his grandmother after his mother and father went missing after ignoring too many bank statements for years. Fytó has always done his best to take care of his grandmother and little sisters as he does most of the chores and work- it kept him busy from his racing thoughts and fears of being discovered again and taking him away. His remaining family means the world to him and he has no doubt in his mind that his mother and father are either slaving away to make up for the money or were merely killed to be sold. He’s terrified- but his sisters and grandmother as always there to fix him up just when he was about to completely shatter.

Humans, completely forget I spelt Ignis’s name wrong JDHGDGDGD

#It’s been years and I still don’t know what to call this lil world smhh #There are more characters but so far these 4 are the most wrote out #The city is huge and is based being more in the past than the present #Power exists but heavily limited to richer areas #Also funfact #Fytó when he feels one of his flowers is not getting enough sun he will put them in his head and do field work

[showtoonzfan]

I just love it when I see upcoming indie creators/artists make drawings or a chart of what the dynamics are like between each of their main characters, going into depth about how each character bounces off of one another and how they see the other, because I’m SO used to a certain indie cartoon NOT doing that at all or exploring it. ☺️

#no because how do you fuck up the dynamic system between 4 people who work at an office? #like yeah we know the dynamic between Moxxie and Blitz #but we don’t know a lot about how Blitz sees Millie outside of they’re supposed besties and he thinks she’s tough #but there’s not much depth to it #meanwhile fucking Loona and Millie’s dynamic is non existent #we barley have a sense of how they feel about each other #aside from Millie is predjucie I guess but that’s it #How does Loona even see Moxxie and Millie together? #they barley interact as a group #these characters are supposed to be co workers and yet we know like….one or two dynamics #Viv really sucks at character dynamics and relationships in general sorry #vivziepop critical #spindlehorse critical #helluva boss critical #helluva critical #and don’t get me started on Stella and Octavia

#anyway im trying to write something for a comic that doesn’t even exist yet lmfao #like me and one other person will get it #but im also having a good time so 🤷‍♀️ #im trying to give myself a goal of just 500 words per day #just get some words out #get those neural pathways back #they’re still in my head i can feel them #i just have to map them out again #and i can’t do that if i don’t write #anyway im probably not gonna go back to the fics i was working on before the accident any time soon #i just can’t handle that level of concentration right now #buuuuuut im heavily thinking about doing a rewrite of an old fic i love #i think that would be an easier entry point #thanks for all your guys’ advice though i highly appreciate it #fan fic talk #sulley speaks

What are the main characters canon sexuality’s?? Have they any or is it up to interpretation

Twas from a past pride month I think? Either way here u go. Canonically none of my trolls are like “straight” in the human sense lol they don’t exactly have a concept of it or like most human sexualities due to different social norms and all to them it’s like baseline everything is a valid relationship and any gender expression is also just as valid (why I tend to mark them as masc fem or enby presenting not male or female weird biology headcanon stuff yada yada they are not human) their universes Alternians are more concerned with blood anyways.

Considering quadrants everyone here is technically poly to an extent that’s literally just a cultural thing with seeking out two partners. ANYWAYS.

Sauron is gay he prefers masc romantic partners and he is demi so under the ace umbrella

Falmea is pan and aromantic

Majell is a lesbian she just prefers more fem trolls

Helstm is bi

Then Cybele and Cyrusk are both pan!

#can you tell I am also pan is it that obvious lol #but yeah a lil bit of me of course rubs off on my characters #also while trans and enby trolls exist in Aleph Null it works differently than humans due to the whole biology thing #their gender presentation and how their bodies kinda developed is due to a biological mimic #the gender of their lusus is what like makes them sway to one side or the other #or just stay in between if their lusus isn’t around as much #Majell and Sauron both had lusus issues (Majell was taken away from hers and Sauron’s well… it died) #while they both tilt a bit more center than like super masc or super fem Sauron still prefers He and Majell She #the amount of times they have been mistaken for the opposite gender by people who do not know fantrolls or homestuck smh lol #I’m fine pointing it out tho cuz I don’t think either of them would want a human calling them something they aren’t #I could go on about it so many headcanons about these grey alien dudes ugh delicious #I should stop lol #clock rambles #ask

Could you imagine if a conversation about public health could happen in like any context without the specter of The Fatties being brought up as a clearer and more present danger than whatever is the actual topic at hand.

#and you know it’s never something like ‘how do we develop a health and welness framework that actually works for large bodies’ #it’s always ‘how can I continue berating and dehumanizing fat people about their weight’ #and listen it’s not so much that my body size has no relationship to my overall health #but like no one’s ever actually died of fat #and even if a significant amount of people had that still wouldn’t be a moral issue to shame and abuse people about #however at the end of the day a vanishingly small amount of people jumping to shout ‘obesity’ in an unrelated public health discussion #actually gives a shit about changing public health putcomes or w/e #unless it’s eliminating people they don’t like looking at from dignified public existence

The Barbie movie’s got me digging back into Roland Barthes

#something about the sign and the signifier and removing #and how an image divorced from its original context and placed in a new one can have completely different meanings #a French flag in France has a totally different meaning and narrative than a French flag flying in Algeria #was I think the example he used #and I get that gerwig was pulling Barbie out of the box/ her context and just playing with her the way weird little girls do #to work out their understandings of the real world and building one they prefer #but CAN you divorce Barbie from a corporate capitalist context?? #like I get why you don’t want to include issues of class in a Barbie movie #but feminist statements about patriarchy and it’s creation and its maintenance CANT exclude class #I think it was de Beauvoir who pointed out how patriarchy and private property are entertained #and I know steinhem wrote about how her middle class existence was sold to her as an American ideal but it made her and all her college #friends completely miserable #like they’d won the class lottery #but even still the system was actively oppressing them #but these aren’t really coherent thoughts #I did enjoy the depressed Barbie commercial so much I howled with laughter

It’s very interesting seeing the contrasts between watching The Monkees as a kid, and watching The Monkees being the age of Mike, Peter, Micky, and Davy in the show.

I’m trying to do a lot of the kinds of things The Monkees are: paying rent, getting money, getting food, and for me, the added struggle of being an autistic person while navigating the crazy social and financial time we’re in.

It’s been a comfort being back into this show, getting to grow with the boys in a different way than I did when I was eight or nine. Seeing them going through similar things as I am gives that sort of little adulthood crutch on top of the kiddiness of it all. They don’t always get what they need to right, but hey, peace not war, and money is the root of all evil, right?

Anyway, all four Monkees are neurodivergent, and I can project myself and all of my struggles onto their little polycule, because I’ve grown up watching 60s television, and nothing and nobody can stop me. I’ll dress like Peter Tork and sing the Gilligan’s Island theme song with Scooby Doo on in the background like I’m eight again, using my childhood and my new self in tandem because isn’t that just how it needs to be sometimes?

The show makes me feel good, like i’m not alone in it all, y know? Like my friends are still there, these four crazy boys i’ve known basically all my life. They’re some of the characters who helped me through all the crazy shit I went through as a kid, who I could escape with in my head into all their little antics and love for the world and each other.

And if we look from the logic of the 1997 reunion special, that show could still be going on somewhere, and I think it’s going on through all of us.

Anyways, that’s all. Just thinking about this a lot recently. I really do love The Monkees.

#the monkees #peter tork #mike nesmith #davy jones #micky dolenz #growing up #I should go to sleep now #I’ve just been thinking about this #I hope I did my thoughts justice #i’ve been dealing with people around me growing older #going in tandem with the hippie generation suddenly starting to really die off #Suddenly i’m back in the thick of it trying to work through it all again #and here the monkees still are #and one day I can use them to look back #look back both at my childhood and what i’m doing NOW #which makes me feel more important than I sometimes do #I need myself now so myself in the future can exist #oh look at that I wrote more #i’m very peace and love peace and love #alright goodnight don’t put up a fight goodnight goodnight to you
