alright y’all i’ve got a question that has been absolutely plaguing my mind…

who’s the sun and who’s the moon out of treech and lamina????

#i feel like it can go either way but it’s driving me bonkers #in terms of typical sun/moon symbology i would say lamina is the sun treech is the moon #BUT if i’m listening to the moon will sing by the crane wives treech is the sun #I NEED HELP #this is how i characterize all my characters and the fact that i can’t characterize my favs… safe to say im losing it #treech tbosas #lamina tbosas #tbosas #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games tributes

I remember back when The Mountain Goats No Children was a meme on here seeing a post that went “I hope you live, i hope we both live,” and it making me SO angry…

And this was before I had ever even listened to the song (or anything by TMG for that matter), but now, knowing that John wrote the song, and specifically the line “I hope you die, I hope we both die” in response to radio overplay of the sugary sweet I Hope You Dance, I feel even more vindicated, because like.

Yes. Ultimately my overall life philosophy is that I hope we all live… I would hope that goes without saying. But No Children isn’t a life philosophy. It’s about how sometimes everything sucks and you feel like shit and trapped and hopeless and angry and I HOPE YOU DIE, I HOPE WE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!! And who can’t relate to that? Who has NEVER felt like that in their lives??????

I feel a little silly accusing what was ultimately just a joke meme post of Toxic Positivity, but that was the vibe I was getting from it, which is why it made me mad. As though it was sticking up its nose at a song it clearly had no understanding of and going “well I hope we both LIVE 😇😇” and like. Fuck you lol. It’s okay to feel negative emotions. It’s okay to be angry.

#tmg #the mountain goats #tagging bc i feel strongly about this lol… i’m sure i’m not the first to say this #but like. you know. if negative songs aren’t your thing then that’s cool - i respect that #but they still have a right to exist #it’s like people saying that stories with tragic endings shouldn’t exist… that non-hopeful stories should not exist #they can’t understand how people could get catharsis from that too #and it’s okay to not understand! there are plenty of things people enjoy that i’ll never understand #but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist #or need to be sanitized #idk… my personal experience with No Children is that i avoided listening to it for the LONGEST time bc i thought it’d just be edgy bullshit #but then i FINALLY listened to it and i was like ‘oh yeah - i’ve been there’ #and i’ve been a Mountain Goats fan ever since #bc i really respect and appreciate the way that John doesn’t see negative feelings as the antithesis to healing #there are a lot of artists out there who are like ‘yeah i made a lot of negative songs when i was in a bad place but now i’m getting better #so i’m gonna make happy peppy songs now!’ and like. hey - good for them! more power to them! #but i like the acknowledgment that experiencing those darker feelings doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person or backsliding #it’s okay to just *FEEL* #and it’s okay to sing ‘No Children’ at the top of your lungs in your house all alone #you might even feel BETTER afterwards! #don’t know until you try it!!

I just found your art via reblogs. Do you ship ash and Clemont or are they just besties

Im afraid that there was NOTHING normal about the 7th Japanese XYZ ending (Kirakira sung by Yūki Kaji).

#Clemont singing a song about ash’s impact on his life? #and one of the lyrics is PLANTING KISSES INTO MY SPARKLKNG POCKET #okay Clemont sure #and when he rejoins the party after the Lumiose gym battle he says ash you need me #Okay Clemont. #short answer to your question: yes and yes #I go to bat for both #I think they’re very precious #they make a great deal of effort to understand one another even when they don’t (battle improv or inventing) #I think they’re great for each other #I’m actually partial to all three of the Kalos ships #amour and diode AND geekchic #they’re good :]

This is just something stupid I wanted to sketch

So today I’ve been listening to “New Divide” by Linkin Park, because it worked its way back into my head, and so I was going to draw, but all I could think about was someone singing it. And because the Strawberry Jam Sword has been on my brain, but also I’ve been thinking about retconning things, I decided why not draw the Sovereign of Darkness passionately singing Linkin Park?

I drew it without the shoulder pads just because they’d look weird, but honestly regardless, just looking at this drawing, god they look like such an edge lord, it’s hilarious

You know, it really messes with my interpretation of the Sovereign being this entity that even the other members of the Cookies of Darkness are afraid of, because it’s clearly not a Cookie, but they also don’t know what it is, just this…unnatural entity. But here it’s discovered Linkin Park and is a passionate fan

But honestly, who cares. Maybe the Sovereign can become another member of BAD 4

But yeah, just take this stupid sketch that I probably put too much effort into

#cookie run #cookie run kingdom #dark choco cookie #sovereign of darkness #strawberry jam sword #my art #random stuff #while drawing this I was with some other people #I wanted one of them to stop me and ask what I was drawing and say #“I’m drawing a sword currently possessing an unwilling cookie passionately singing New Divide by Linkin Park” #also the face and pose were a bit difficult #I’ve never really drawn people singing #and the poses I was looking at really didn’t have the passion I needed for the drawing #also now the Sovereign being an avid fan of 2000s rock is stuck in my head and I both do and don’t like it

working on a short post (…maybe? look. anyone following me knows what my version of short looks like, when it comes to media analysis) about why from a structural/implications level, i don’t love the read that ed’s desire to throw a talent show is an indication he needs to be brought down to earth by any means necessary 

(ft why that read also makes that scene between ed and lucius in the blanket fort sort of… narratively atonal in a way that also strips it of the poignance of connection)

#look i just think there’s a lot of ground between ‘ed’s fine now the talent show means he’s fine’ which i am certainly not arguing #and ‘the talent show is an indication ed is attempting to start finding out what he likes’ and thus a hopeful thing #he knows what he does NOT like #also don’t love the implications of arguing izzy was calling ed a nambypamby (which:we all know what unsaid implications exist there) #(calling a man effeminate pulls on some very basic shit we alllll understand lbr) #and saying he’d wish he let ed die in response to ed being unhealthy and needing to be snapped out of it lends an air of righteousness #i would argue ed is trying to change and izzy hates change is the point of the scene #among other things of course but like: why is ed putting on a robe and singing unhealthy? #stede bonnet did not sing and he does not have a monopoly on robes #so unless we’re saying ed can’t possibly like singing or robes… #etc etc etc i’m gonna work on the piece now

hey guys just watched la la land i’m gonna do something really impulsive

#this is kind of personal? but there’s a cabaret night coming up hosted by the choir group that i’m in #and i was thinking of auditioning forever ago but i got sick with the flu and didn’t know what to sing #and i was gonna try to do city of stars but couldn’t find an arrangement that was good for me has sheet music and wasn’t a total headache #and i can’t whistle #but it didn’t work out and i missed the audition today #so i finally watched the damn movie and man #audition (the fools who dream) is like fr speaking to me #it just clicked #but i’m not sure if the head of this event is gonna let me one audition late or two even get it #and i’d have to learn it fast and i’m still sick #but something just Makes Sense #i don’t know what to do #i think i might go for it and send an email tomorrow… maybe #i needed to say something about it to someone but everyone in that program’s an opp so… #i think i should try? i’ve embarrassed myself worse before this can’t be that bad #yapping #for real life #la la land #not daredevil 🤞

I feel like life series fanon jimmy is kind of mischaracterized and there’s an easy way to make sure you’re doing it right: he has a lot of unearned confidence

#the tags is where I’m going to ACTUALLY say stuff LOL!!! #but like I love life series Jimmy mkay. he’s got that curse of dying first and all. which is what I mean by fanon cuz curses aren’t real #but a lot of fans make it like Jimmy accepts the curse? or even acknowledges that it’s real. which bugs me a bit cuz No He Does Not #(side note tho. I’m not mad about it. I know ppl wanna explore the concept of someone cursed to die first and that’s what they’re doing) #but like Jimmy would just be so in denial about it okay. even if you managed to convince him he would be like ‘..BUT SURELY THIS TIME’ #and this relates to ranchers too. I love ranchers ok. mostly cuz my sister does tbh LMAOO she loves them. but ranchers fan content isn’t #what I’m looking for cuz it’s so often stuff like.. Jimmy being like ‘I’m sorry I’m cursed’ and Tango being like ‘it’s ok love u anyway’ #but it’s really more like ‘CURSED?? NO! WE WILL WIN!’ which I think is MORE fun for the aftermath of their death. meeting in the afterlife. #I NEED to see ranchers content where they keep denying that the curse is real then Jimmy dies and they’re ghosts or whatever and Jimmy’s #like ‘oh no. we didn’t break the curse. tango probably hates me now. he only liked me cuz we thought the curse wasn’t real.’ and tango to be #like upset at first as anyone would be when they die. but then he like notices the way Jimmy is acting and he’s like ‘no.. ranchers 4 life’ #???? what am I saying. hire me for writing fanfic I totally know what I’m doing. #anyways what I’m saying is Jimmy is the canary but he’s the canary that’s like ‘SURELY I can sing for the miners the whole way THIS time’ #he is NOT the canary who says ‘WELL time to eventually stop singing in this cave’ #HOWEVER I do think that although he has loads of unearned confidence and is in a constant state of denial. he does also have that crumble #sometimes. so it’s not totally ooc imo for him to act like that. but it would be rare moments and also mostly post death #ANOTHER SIDE NOTE I WANNA SAY. I HATE the way I’m saying this as if it’s fact. it’s my personal analysis and just because I think it’s right #doesn’t mean I want to present it as undeniable fact. I could be misinterpreting. if you want to interpret life!Jimmy’s character different #then go on ahead. I don’t hate fanon Jimmy I just wish I saw more like how I see him. that is all. #ok I lied I also wanna add that I’m bad at explaining things ESPECIALLY personalities so it’s possible that I didn’t convey what I wanted to #say properly too. sorry. OKAY NOW THAT IS ALL.

Disability, cptsd, and adhd really has turned me into…egh. A planner. Not because I want to be. But because I either need to figure things out well ahead or I forget or avoid them, or because I can’t set them down mentally.

#tiger’s roar #…FUCK me for needing to lay down a few ground rules to stop obsessing Because Adhd Because Anxiety #because GUESS WHAT #my tendons aren’t stable. I KNOW one environment gets me disregulated so NO I DON’T want to only say ‘hi’ there #things WILL be busy. and it’s easier to go ‘hey does x day/time work’ WHEN RELEVANT #I DON’T trust serendipity. AT ALL. ZERO trust in chance. it gets me burned #and YEAH I DO have to plan That Much in Near Advance YES As Hypothericals #because I’m bloody disabled and I’ve been stressed about this for TWO YEARS ‘cause of a condition that just seems to be getting WORSE #and yeah it does affect. EVERYTHING. hobbies. classes. employment. self transportation. socializing. walking. HELL even singing #soooo Y E A H I D O need this laid out. as ‘just friends’ #before things get chaotic. and it IS on my mind ‘cause know what? #I’m terrified I won’t be able to work out student aid and lodging and class schedule at all!! #so. yeah. just mentioning ‘hey so if/when’ to a friend…should…have been fine. #but no. apparently I bumped a sore spot. while trying to AVOID it while For Once speaking up about a general need that. y’know. #would affect that. anyway. I won’t bother again. #maybe that’s finally the last nail for me to just. MOVE ON.

I really do think the Cady in the Movie of the Musical of the Movie Mean Girls is funny and engaging, but. Like. In the movie, Cady is only really naive in the sense that she has not been exposed to Girl World (or the arbitrary institutional unpleasantness of the typical American high school). She would be perfectly functional in a rational environment, and in many ways she begins as the kind of girl that many parents would have wanted their daughters to be circa 2004 (from progressive bohemians to moderate conservatives still practical enough to want academic/professional success for their daughters). She’s smart, friendly to everyone, and not neurotic about body image. She’s drawn into Girl World because it’s attractive despite the bullshit. And there is a rhetorical purpose to this that just gets dulled if Cady is genuinely immature and out to lunch —if, when her mom worries that it was the wrong decision to send her to a big school, you’re like “yes, obviously” rather than “well, I wouldn’t have predicted that she’d get drawn in an elaborate revenge plot, either.”

#generally what I’m saying is that it’d be nice if Hollywood would take a chance on a non-reboot high school movie #or more of a chance #I know they’re getting made #mostly as direct to Netflix movies I think #because I think this Cady is a coherent and enjoyable character #but mean girls is one movie that benefits from its original didacticism #also no one in the movie musical can enunciate worth a damn while singing #although maybe that’s to obscure the underwhelming lyrics #I liked how the numbers were staged #but lord help that song where Regina’s like it’s fine for you it’s fine for me ??? someone gets hurt #okay girl I’m sure something’s happening with you but I don’t understand it #I shouldn’t need a libretto to watch mean girls

god a fun fact about me is that i adore singing. I grew up singing from when I was about five and did musical theater until I was 18 and the thing I miss most now is being able to sing in front of an audience. it’s been so so long. I miss it so much.

#idk how to describe it #I loved being on stage #I really loved it so much #and singing and music and performance is such a big part of me #but when I got older.. the attitude around theater and loving theater changed #and people got nasty and would deliberately try to sabotage me #especially during the audition process.. #and I just… lost the love in it #I’m so sad about that #bc I love it #but those experiences soured it for me so quickly #I’ll never forget the time I heard from someone that a person- #I’d considered to be a friend was going around telling people- #that she had ‘eliminated me as competition’ because she deliberately gave me bad advice so I wouldn’t audition for the lead #I did anyway.. but man.. did it ruin it for me.. #anyway I love theater and I love singing and I don’t tell a lot of people anymore #but I do #and I felt the need to say it tonight #personal

My other critiques aside, this kid is fucking NAILING Grover thank u Aryan Simhadri

#he’s so good he is delivering exactly the energy I wanted #singing on the bus #‘I’m gonna be honest Percy I’m really hungry and I’m willing to take that chance’ #also fucking wjajsnskf Grover flying off into darkeness and annabeth just blankly saying ‘we’re gonna need a new plan’ #the only thing I’m missing is the randomly eating garbage and silverware #that’s one of my favorite Grover traits which they don’t seem to be incorporating :/ #maybe too hard to make realistic looking edible metal idk #(says about a show that has magical creatures in every episode and a Disney budget lol)
