Rr advertised it as a faithful retelling so it’s right to hold him to a standard. Maybe not give him money

this is fair, he was quite adamant on the faithfulness. do i feel betrayed? yes.

i am also totally not pirating this show. i am also totally not missing out (apparently) on context giving captions because i am totally not pirating the show. i totally don't hate disney.

I’ve just started alchemy of souls (I know, I know, I’m late) and am super confused about why wook is considered the late king’s “son” when the sperm literally swam out of jang gang’s body

putting all that stuff about ~ Destiny ~ or whatever aside, are we just meant to infer from the lore of the show that a person’s soul has supremacy over the biology of the host body when it comes to family ties and inherited traits? or is dohwa like a mother mary type figure here, where she’s more of a vessel for a predestined child and the spiritual fatherhood of the baby is what actually matters

I can understand how the nature of wook’s birth would at least be a scandal/contentious issue for the royal family and the nobility, but would anyone actually consider him to be the rightful heir?

#dramatalk #milawatcheshwanhon #alchemy of souls #tvn alchemy of souls #this question feels like #something that would've come up #in the philosophy class I took in high school #lmao #if anyone could give me #some spoiler-free clarity on this matter #I would be most grateful #maybe I'm overthinking this #? #probably.

fics that villainize Talia are obsessed with having Jason bad mouth her. I think Jason should be the #1 Talia apologist actually. To a toxic degree even. You tell Jason about the weird cloning shit and he’s like “well I’m sure she had her reasons 🤷🏻‍♂️”

#IM JUST SAYING… #The version of Talia that Jason experienced was a kind and generous benefactor who genuinely cared about him #and protected him at his most vulnerable. Jason’s too busy running at full tilt towards his endgame in lost days to be especially grateful #But I think he would be very aware that he owes her a debt he cannot repay. And so I think he would hesitate to condemn her #Jason Todd #dc #Also it does not make sense for Jason to equate Talia to Ra’s as someone who is intimately aware of the fact that Talia went against Ra’s #wishes to protect him #Talia al Ghul

the thing is. i don't particularly love the whole steph sends assassins after tim at the end of robin thing. but it is fascinating to me as one of those things that dc's like "okay, this did happen because we need it to have happened (it's pretty important as far as setting up steph and tim to move on to red robin & batgirl, it's extremely important that steph makes a mistake that causes harm so that tim is upset with her & so there's a justifiable reason steph can't be spoiler anymore & to set the stage for their dynamic in the reborn era & because her doing this to tim is also important to maintain tim's self-isolation at the start of red robin because if he had a girlfriend to depend on who he wasn't mad at he wouldn't be quite so self-destructive), but at the same time we desperately need to pretend like it did not happen (because if it did, and steph sent assassins after tim, he's entirely justified in being mad at her & also if she did that dick would probably feel about steph the way he feels about jean-paul valley)"

#actually my most unpopular opinion is that i think that dick is probably like. very neutral on steph as a whole #given that tim absolutely would get dick in the divorce and dick would be on tim's side as far as being upset #at the ways she's hurt him (not that tim is a saint in the rship i just think that dick is allowed to be messy & biased and on tim's side) #like everytime he sees steph he probably remembers the phone call with tim. it's hard not to look at her #and not see tim breaking down at the side of the pit #and if the assassins did happen he's probably also upset and irritated about that #anyways i think he can be very professional & i think he definitely comes around to 'she's a competent vigilante who deserves to be there' #and he's probably grateful as to how she gets along with damian & has been good for him #but i just can't picture them hanging out outside of work. they're the epitome of coworkers to me

[dirtytransmasc]

atwow hot take:

if jake had said his "son for a son" shit out loud and spider had heard him, he would have been so beyond pissed, he would be seeing red.

spider loved his little siblings so much, neteyam included, even after they grew apart. he loved them like they were his own blood and protected them like they were too (we see a lot more of them together in the comics, where spider is the big brother without a doubt). neteyam's death most certainly rocked him hard, even if he hasn't really been able to show it (how could he? he's already going through all the shit with his dad and the RDA and their nonsense, he can't grieve around neytiri, he's just so tired after it all. he doesn't have the room or the energy to grieve yet)

so if jake had the audacity to say that to/around spider not even a few hours after he watched his little brother get shot after coming to save him, after he stared at the bullet hole in his back, after he watched him take his last breaths, after he watched the light leave his eyes, after he watched his little brother die for him; if he said that while his little brother's body lay in a pool of his own blood not even ten feet away, not even cold yet, blood still clinging to his chest, the scent of it still filling the air: he would have lost his shit.

because the disrespect for his brother is wild.

jake was an active player in spider's neglect and abuse for the last 16 years, he let it happen, he helped it happen. he tried to send spider with the humans, tried to take him away from his siblings, from the forests, from eywa to live with his foster family that didn't love him (not to mention Nash was an asswipe of epic proportions) and the RDA of all people. he had referred to spider as a stray animal since he was little. he was the reason spiders life was hell.

and after all that, years and years of putting him in shit positions and allowing him to suffer the fate of being forever unloved and uncared for (by an adult authority figure, cause I love the kids, but they don't make up for the gap left by a parent), this is what it took for jake to care about him? his little brother had to die in front of him first? he had to be traded out to fill the space of a corpse, to fill in the gap left by his little brother's death?

in canon, spider was in deep in shock with nothing to break him from it, he wasn't in the place to really think about any of it, and I'm sure we're gonna see this anger in the coming movies, but if jake had said it out loud, that would have been enough to snap spider right out of it, and he would have given jake a piece of his mind, I just know it.

#he loves neteyam too much to let jake do that. to say that. he'd never allow it. #spider is such a good big brother. he loves his siblings too much. #if jake had said that to his face there would have been hell to pay. regardless of how out of it spider was with shock/grief/pure exhaustio #spider doesn't even care about the disrespect being done to him by that statement. he just cares about neteyam. #cause how could a father say that? how could he just move on. fill the gap with a “stray” as he puts it. take him in after all he'd done to #him? it wasn't fair #it wasn't fair to him and it most certainly wasn't fair to neteyam #I love spider. he deserves a family that loves him and wants him. he wants it. but this is not what either of us asked for. #that line has always rubbed me wrong. and it would have rubbed spi wrong too. I just know it. #I really hope we see spider express his rightful anger/disgust to this whole thing next movie #though I worry he will be too busy feeling guilty over everything and feeling like he just has to be grateful. but one can hope. #he deserves to be angry #and his dynamic with neteyam deserves to be explored. cause its a crime that it was ignored in the movie. #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #neteyam #neteyam sully #neteyam te suli tsyeyk'itan #jake sully #I wanna punch that man so hard istg. I can't with him. I won't say I hate him. but lord have mercy I can't with him. #my baby boys deserved better #spider was neteyam's big brother. that's my agenda #we need to talk about them more

rough art tips to learn and then break at your leisure.

the distance between your eyes is roughly one eye. the corners of your mouth dont extend past the middle of each eye. ears are roughly in the middle of the tip of the nose and the eyebrow. the eyes are in the very centre of the head. the neck is just a Little slimmer than the width of the head (varies with fat distribution, but fat tends to build up under the chin). hair is easier to draw when you plot out the hairline and then where it parts. leaving appropriate distance on the side of the face (cheekbone area and back to ear) contributes to making characters look more realistic/hot as hell. i dont know specific tips for that so use reference. an amazing reference/study site is lineofaction.com . if you think of the face in planes it makes it easier to construct (look up tutorials). if you draw a spiral like a tornado it can help you figure out awkward perspective for extended limbs (look up foreshortening coil technique). tangent lines are when two lines intersect and cause visual confusion (when it looks like a line that defines an arm is part of the line that defines a building, for example) and avoiding them makes your art way easier to comprehend. quick trick to good composition: choose a focal point (where you want your viewer to focus), detail that area the most, and make sure various elements of the piece are pointing to that focal point. you can use colours to contrast hue, saturation, and brightness and make certain elements of your drawing stand out. drawing in greyscale can help you figure out values. using black in a piece isn't illegal but you should know what you're doing when you do use it- it desaturates a piece and if used as a shading colour can desaturate and dull whatever youre shading too. if you use almost-black lineart and then add black to darken the very darkest areas it will do a lot to add some nice depth. the tip of your thumb ends just above the start of your index finger- your thumb also has two knuckles and all your other fingers have three. if you see an artist doing something you like (the way they draw noses or eyes or hair or anything else) you can try to copy that and see if you want to incorporate it in your style <- this is ENCOURAGED and how a lot of us learned and developed our styles. there are ways to add wrinkles to faces and bodies without making the character look a million years old, you just have to keep experimenting with it. The smile wrinkles around your muzzle dont connect to your mouth or to your nose; there should be a small space in between smile or nose and the wrinkle line. eyes when viewed in profile are like < aka a little triangle shape. think of the pupil like a disk and apply foreshortening to it (it looks like a line when seen from the side instead of a full round dot). subtle gradients can add a LOT to a piece. texture can also add a LOT. look up Tommy Arnold's work (his murderbot pieces are some of my FAVOURITE) and zoom in. find those random little circles he added and try to figure out why he added them there. light bounces. there's lots of way light bounces. sometimes it even spreads through the skin. i do not know these light tricks yet but i want you to know that they exist. draw a circle to indicate hand placement, draw a straight line between that circle and the shoulder, and then (normally at a right angle) draw a straight line on top of that line to find the placement of the elbow. elbows are normally placed Just above the hip when standing and your arm is at rest. there are no bad colour combos if you're brave enough about it, just fuck with the saturation and brightness until it works. keep playing. try new things. add your own tips to this post if you want or even expand on some ive mentioned here. good luck go ham etc

#look at this post #the sum of almost all of my art knowledge #all that i can remember rn anyway lmaooo #shit i didn't mention the tips for backgrounds that i know #eh that's environment most of this deals with character work anyway #i learned most of this from tutorials and kind artists who like to talk about their work #i would not know NEARLY as much about creative shit as i do if it weren't for the people who were willing to talk about their skills #and their tricks and their observations. id be nothing without them i dont remember most of them but i am so so grateful for that kindness #so ig here ill spread that a little further #if you have any questions go ahead and ask i am a NERD about art okay i do not know everything but i am always willing to talk about what i #do know #art tips #one of the most important things for you to do as an experienced or beginner artist tho #is to PLAY #experiment #figure out what's fun and what looks nice and what looks nice faster and just. whatever the fuck you want to learn #it is SUCH a joy

If you’ve played Far Cry 3, you’ve probably seen its “prequel”, a promotional web series called The Far Cry Experience starring Michael Mando as Vaas and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as himself.

In Episode 4 (spoilers), Vaas asks the audience if they want Chris to live or die. People decided he should live but, since there were two choices, they had to shoot two versions of the final episode.

Well, a few years ago, I realized that, on the Ubisoft Japan YouTube channel, both versions were available! So in case you didn’t know this video existed, here’s what would have happened if people had voted for Chris to die:

The video is dubbed in Japanese and I unfortunately don’t speak this language, so I can’t tell what they’re saying... But if you understand Japanese or are good at reading lips, maybe you can :)

#I imagine vaas tells the audience that they’re terrible people and should be ashamed #or that he has no faith in humanity anymore #I think it’s something he would say in the series #far cry 3 #the far cry experience #vaas montenegro #christopher mintz-plasse #michael mando #‘prequel’ in quotation marks because of course this isn’t really canon to me #I have things to say about vaas’ characterization #most of the original videos are gone now #ubi re-release the series on your channel and upload this version too please! #anyway I suppose not a lot of people knew this existed so… now you do :) #and if somebody here understands it I (and many other people I’m sure) would be grateful if you could translate it :’)

It's always enjoyable when you do a rewrite project, and happen to see something that feels like it's funny or ironic with a detail of yours in mind. BB!Thunder Storm is missing that hind paw so it's fun to imagine him letting out a little chuckle at his canon equivalent.

#I can imagine him giving a little chuckle and then being reminded of the prosthetic that his dad forced him to wear #for that short time he was training under him before starting his clan #Thinking about how terrible and awkward it felt to have a clunky peg strapped onto his limb. How he felt so side-heavy #How he had to adjust his whole gait for it. The way that it would make noise in the leaf litter unintentionally #And then the chuckle gives way to that little big of frustration and resentment thinking about what he went through. #But he'd come back to the current era where he can sit the way that's most comfortable #And give the flank unburdened by the leather prosthesis straps a couple of grateful licks

Hi, I'm in love with the "Mario's always been Luigi's protector while Luigi's always been Mario's confidant" dynamic.

#my art #mun's art #Mario #Luigi #Super Mario Brothers #Mario Movie #smb movie #Super Mario Bros #I also really REALLY love the little bits of reasonable grumpiness we see from Mario in the movie #Like he still has a generally positive outlook and treats people with respect #he's polite to whoever he meets and tries his best to be helpful #but in a world that sees him as an easy target to belittle he refuses to be a doormat #even in situations where most would think it wiser to sit down and shut up #he's got self respect #but the universe keeps testing him #and I bet it gets grating after a while

There are literally tears streaming down my face right now, and I wasn't even expecting to care about the episode that much. Once I processed what the show is trying to communicate with Rick's inner stagnance and grief, I started balling with the music at the end that was meant to portray the fact that he realized now that now that there's nothing left to do or anything to act on or to put all that energy to there's nothing left except for the hardest battle to fight, which is the acceptance of the fact that he can't get his wife or anything back.

This is such a perfect portrayal of what inner depression feels like with nowhere for it to go or anyone to talk to about it because it's just something you have to accept.

Rick is such an incredibly good portrayal of depression and grief because, especially with this last couple of seconds when Morty thinks that he's satisfied, but there's nothing that you can do about emotional grief and the fact that you can never get back what you lost, especially with something as profound as what Rick obviously considers the love of his life. The feeling is like nothing else; and even worse, it's the loneliest feeling in the world because nobody knows what it feels like to carry that grief every single day and it's profound and constant battle except for yourself.

It's the worst feeling and the heaviest feeling in the world for Rick to realize there's nothing left to do-he still didn't have his Diane back, and his grief is still full of nothing but what he can't help but feel is a cheap emulation of the life that he should have had. If you ever genuinely grieved over anything that you can never get back and there's nothing left but emptiness to reflect over it, I don't know how you couldn't be incredibly touched by Rick's character. His story is such a stark and jarringly incredibly written story over long-term grief and how it never really heals or gets better, but is a weight that you care with you for the rest of your life everyday, every moment.

I remember when I watched the first unity episode I was literally paralyzed from how much it touched me once we got more information about the fact that the reason why he went home and tried to terminate himself was because he had this a lifelong grief that he was carrying with him that he still is. I don't think in my life, literally, I have ever been so touched or so abrasively paralyzed by the idea of someone suffering from a young age all the way till 70 and never getting over it, because, if your brain is wired a certain way, some people truly never get over tragedy.

This show is so goofy and it obviously doesn't take itself seriously, but somehow it managed to pull up one of the most compelling paralyzingly impactful characters that I've ever consumed in media in my life.

#I am projecting a lot #but I really don't have any interests in anything anymore except for itself shipping with Rick Sanchez and one other character #as much as I can be I'm grateful for the fact that Rick came to me and my life at a time when I really needed a character to grieve with at #this incredibly life-endingly paralyzing time in my life. #and I couldn't care less about being accepted by the fandom or whatever it's called so I'm free to make as many whack post as much as I want #or whatever it is most of you would call it #rick and morty #lol

Pepper passed away this morning. last night jose called me over while tending them; she was dehydrated, lethargic, wheezing, I'd played with her normally the day before. she's been slowing down with age, but this was a crash. we gave her water and heat support, i was planning to bring her in to work first thing this morning, but when we woke up she was gone in the same cozy position we left her in. i believe she just faded peacefully.

we're pretty devastated. she was 14, our first animal, we've had her almost half our lives. she was very much jose's baby. it really hit me when i carried her to my clinic and prepped her for cremation; that's a task i do frequently after euthanasia and it's become a kind of ritual, but carrying your own animal is just so different. I'm really sad.

#the timing is good and bad #we're leaving the country in a week and I'm so grateful she passed while we were still here #but it means Sophie is gonna be alone for a whole month.. #we've brought up getting her a companion but she was bonded to pepper literally her whole life so it would be a long and- #-careful process. certainly not something we could arrange in a week. #I'm just gonna hang with her as much as possible #I've thought about losing one of them in the abstract and how weird it would be because they're such a fixture of our family #and yeah it fucking sucks #Sophie is asleep right now ofc but i wish i could hang with her #m2a #animal death #my pets #pepper was the most docile creature imaginable. I've never met a nicer chin. man

[starflungwaddledee]

What Starstruck Dee theory have people made that is your favourite?

there have been quite a lot, and i genuinely love them all!

early on i think the most popular theory was that she was possessed or had been possessed at some point, most likely by dark matter. she actually debunked this theory personally, but i think people just assumed she was lying! 😂

my favourite part is not any one theory, but watching a shift in thoughts over time as more things are revealed, and seeing people share theories/work together in comments and reblogs. i like the "OOHHH WWWWHAT...!?!" moments a lot; whether they are a reaction to my storytelling or to other folks' detective work!

early theories revolved around how she was weird for a waddle dee, or at least a native of popstar. despite my never explicitly confirming anything to the contrary, theories have now broadly shifted to assuming she is not from popstar at all, and most people do now generally agree she's not really a waddle dee.

i don't recall exactly who first came up with each theory (though some big players are @the-void-is-a-disappointment who did a huge amount of early deetective work and encouraged me to build it as a story for solving, @shibuya-toasted-with-extra-cream, @graycoin and @jojo-schmo) and i'm not sure which of these theories are still held by anyone

but here a few of my favourites, roughly in order that they started appearing...

♻️ she's a total mimic species like kirby or void, copying things around her either by intent or by accident 🗑️ similar to above, but she's an incorrect copy or a "beta" mock-up type of a waddle dee 🧚 that she was just born different, like a fae changeling, and might have been hidden away when young as a result 🕰️ she is something totally inorganic and/or mechanical, created by or like the clockwork stars or stardream, perhaps wish contingent 🥇 sometimes attached to the above, she was created to serve some sort of Greater Purpose. she might have failed at it or been flawed, and was subsequently discarded on popstar 🌠 a dozen and one wildly different things connected to the "falling star that hit her". alien life form on the meteor transferred into her on impact. infection by intergalactic bacteria/dark matter. simply massive concussive trauma that fucked up her signature (back when we thought that was the only thing wrong with her). the star was magic and fused with her. she hatched from it and is literally a star herself. probably missing some here. 🪐 waddle dee from a different place/planet. this one is quite a sensible theory, given that we do see many quite different dees! 🤍 she is a fragmented piece of void/void termina. this one in particular i know is @shibuya-toasted-with-extra-cream 's ongoing theory and she's put in a lot of really cool work towards it! ⚔️ she's somehow connected to the heroes of yore. this theory i think has only started popping up since galacta knight has become a reoccurring visitor in her storyline and we've started asking questions about her familiar looking magic spears, but you can certainly 1hko @moonverc3x with this one 🧿 she's connected to the matters. sometimes soul, because it's sometimes star themed and lacks a token representative. where as a connection to dream might link her to fecto forgo/fecto elfilis in some way (a creature also well known for a catastrophic meteor attack). i've also seen folks confident that she's connected to heart matter as well, probably again due to everyone's favourite grumpy swan showing up

this is all i can think of or locate right now, but there's been a pretty wide range of things. i feel there has been a rather interesting transition over time from "she's a messed up waddle dee" to "she's probably connected to a universal superpower of some kind" which i am genuinely really really thrilled about?! 😂 what a glow up for a pathetic little wawa!!!

i'm also personally really fond of seeing how people's existing biases influence what they can find and draw connections in. for instance: i know @jojo-schmo loves the forgotten land and elfilis, and digs into those connections and draws out some really cool stuff because her knowledge is already so specialised! i think this is the true highlight of working on this story for me, people theorising and engaging in the lore, and laser pin-pointing things that tie into our personal faves-- the way we tend to do with kirby lore as a whole-- is such uninhibited delight

i sincerely hope people will enjoy where starstruck's story does go, in the end!!

#starstruck dee #asks #🎀🔍 #i will say that more than one of these theories holds water! some of them more than others. #some of them are indeed dredging the ocean. #i will actually say one thing regarding one of the meteor theories...... “she hatched from it and is literally a star” #<- this WAS actually her Very First original concept when she was “Just A Sona”. she was a literal unalive star who watched everybody-- #having fun on popstar and wished to be alive to join them and feel joy & love. this is a very personal narrative to me and appears lots in- #my sonas and works. it's a fairly simple and basic backstory that would have required no further development or held no real mystery! #once i realised she was developing beyond sona-exclusive status and i was purposefully building a ~mystery~ it changed. #so it's no longer her backstory or relevant in any way; and it hasn't been since before most deetective work has been happening. #just thought y'all might enjoy it as a little bit of Deep Hidden Lore! #sorry also for pinging many folks in this wall of text; if i knew i was referencing a theory of yours i wanted to credit you is all #please just lmk if you'd like me to remove your url at any time!! as always i'm so grateful to everyone who likes starstruck or weighs in! #this kind of engagement is so new and exciting to me and it means more than i can say. i hope i can weave a fun story for you!!

my relationship with the mountain goats album i've been listening to for three and a half months straight is on a level you could never understand

#this is about Protein Source of the Future...Now! please do not derail #once and awhile i switch it out for a different CD but i can only listen to anything else two times through at most #and then it's back to the good old standard #the songs are just so... comfy???? #and almost every one is massively emotionally satisfying over and over #although the funny thing is that even now i could probably only confidently name around half of them? #75% at best #bc my car's CD player doesn't know how to properly read the CD #so the songs are just listed as numbered tracks #but yeah this album and i have been through some SHIT #it has gotten me through such a stressful period in my life and continues to do so #and i am so so grateful #probably not the typical mountain goats album one would say that about but oh well! #the mountain goats #tmg

the carl mention in this ep is still weighing on me so much because it was just so beautiful the way his memory lives on but also it got me thinking: you ever think that lori would be so relieved right now that rick and michonne have found each other because michonne is for rick what lori couldn’t be for him and also because there is at least someone other than rick who is still alive to mourn her son when so many others either can’t or aren’t…

#‘arent’ im talking about you daryl and maggie… #I know this fandom doesn’t like speaking her name but this thought pulls at my heartstrings #maybe it’s just because I’m a bit of a hippie in that I believe in ghosts and spirits and fate and psychics and whatnot #but I truly believe lori sent michonne and rick’s paths colliding because she saw that michonne was just the most fearsome badass mama bear #with no one to mother #and lori had just died leaving two kids without a mom #like idk I just feel like it was so fateful and beautiful! I think lori would be so in awe of michonne and grateful #for being everything she couldn’t be in the apocalypse: optimistic a fighter and loyal beyond measure #the walking dead: the ones who live #the walking dead #lori grimes #michonne grimes #michonne hawthorne #carl grimes #rick grimes #richonne
