#IM JUST SAYING THAT TO B CLEAR

[dimensionzero]

now that he's managed to dodge all his canon event trauma I think pavitr should get a running joke where he's just immune to spider-man luck

#like the spot throws him through a portal during a fight and he just so happens to land in a laundry basket full of blankets or something #and then peter b gets thrown through the same portal and goes flying past to crash-land directly into a dumpster #thats the energy im looking for #across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse spoilers #pavitr prabhakar #after some horrific shit: 'well... at least its not raining!' pavitr says. everyone eyes the sky in apprehension. it stays clear. #'yeah' miles says cautiously. 'i guess this couldnt get any worse.' #it immediately starts to rain

i’ve always kind of assumed that lo and li are azulon’s younger twin sisters and that’s why they were foisted off on azula, because she’s also a younger sister to the crown prince. but the fact that we never actually see them firebend is strange, because it implies either that nonbenders are instructing one of the greatest firebenders in the world, or that they are firebenders who simply do not firebend. and i think that the latter is more interesting, because it reflects how their position as elderly women devalues any firepower they might provide to the empire, passive and subdued even as they train ozai’s favorite weapon.

they are the ones to most overtly illustrate azula’s precarious relationship to femininity, after all. for example, noting the position of her hair after she successfully lightningbends in “the avatar state,” or emphasizing azula’s beauty when they introduce her in “the awakening.” and it’s clear that azula doesn’t really like them, dismisses and avoids them whenever she gets the chance. she can’t even tell them apart. their very existence is almost a humiliation. a reminder to azula that this is who she is destined to become once she lives past her usefulness. not the imperious azulon, her namesake, raised above on a fiery dais, but his sisters, insignificant and functionally powerless.

so of course “almost isn’t good enough,” of course “one hair out of place” is a failure. the only way azula can prove her worth to the empire she has devoted her entire self to in a way that matters is, perhaps, by being perfect, by being better and stronger than the discarded women who came before her. but that, too, is a delusion, that any amount of excellence will reward her in a way that compensates for the erosion of her very humanity. and yet, it’s all she has to cling to. so she gives it her all to excel within a system that will never really care about her because she has deliberately been made incapable of imagining an alternative. of simply recognizing the system for the failure that it is, conceptualizing a world beyond the bars of her gilded cage, and leaving.

#SHES SO ANTHYCODED 😭😭😭😭 #azula #lo and li #azula&ozai #azulon #analysis #and someday together we’ll shine… if you even care . #this was supposed to be a 2 sentence post about lo and li btw 🥴 #ALSO to be clear im not shaming her for not leaving #azula has no concept of ‘leaving’ that is not a) in disgrace or b) in a bodybag #im saying that she CANT because ozai’s psychological and physical abuse is so potent and effective #and that’s not her fault at all #just to be clear #in my mind i am so anthypilled that im like yeah everyone understands the mechanisms and psychology of abuse #what it means to be end of the world #and also just how azula has completely internalized the logic that the only way to survive is within this framework #she’s not weak or foolish for not being able to imagine a different path #which is very obvious to me. but i realized that might not be obvious to everyone. so.

People on ao3 AND tumblr stop tagging Noir when he has nothing to do with your work/post challenge

#this still happens #on ao3 it suggests the fucking tags #peter b. parker isnt that hard to find you fucking halfwits #and im pretty sure the tumblr version of it might be against tos because its spam maybe idk #into the spider verse #spider-man noir #spiderverse #spider man noir #spider noir #spiderman noir #spidernoir #marvel noir #spider-noir #atsv #across the spiderverse #people will straight faced tag noir and say oops sorry those of you who just want to find decenct not smut not x reader fics of this rather #sexualised character. i lied! its actually peter b #miss me with that peter b tag is hard to find #it makes it very clear who's who. noir's tag literally shouts at you that it is for Spider-Man Noir #peter b. parkers is how it's shown in the movie #with a dot #because the middle name is shortened to an initial #you stupid fucks

So was anyone going to tell me Faust is a bigger menace than EVERYONE in the game put together or like. Was I supposed to play the Impossible Choices event (Vincent and Charles ver) myself. I LOVE that he's the definition of: 'being smarter doesn't make me more mature or helpful, it just makes my inherent lust for chaos/entropy all the more unstoppable' This shit FUCKS

I think this is the first time I've ever seen a character make Shakespeare's life a living hell and the latter didn't expect/see it coming, that was AMAZING. Mf was out here like "What the hell??? You lot don't make me suffer I make YOU suffer. Let a man obsess IN PRIVACY" and then nobody cared. Peak comedic interaction, no notes everyone pack it up

#ikevamp #ikemen vampire #ikevamp faust #ikevamp shakespeare #i got issues with his main story route (the problem is me to be clear--also god i cant stand catholicism) #but i gotta say he's hilarious in other events #im so used to incredibly intelligent characters being wooden/mature/stoic #but this guy really out here like 'What If I Made Everything Worse. As A Treat.' #and sincerely i love it for him--mad scientist is such a limiting label #i also find it fascinating he just casually said 'don't stress out the butler' to charles #WHEN ALL HE DOES IS ACTIVELY STRESS OUT THE B U T L E R IN HIS RT #aight to be fair its prbly actually favoritism considering he [insert sebas rt spoilers] #but in my defense that was not clear until like chapter 20 out of 25 #i still remember being like 'faust you are arguably one of the hottest 2d men ever conceived. HOWEVER. if you hurt my nerd friend -> #and fellow ace icon i will be most put out with you.' #and then as soon as sebas was better i was like 'aight we fk heavy let's go' #also love that shakespeare lowkey wanted the company despite grousing he's just like me fr

when hakuba said, about kaito, “has the ability to focus, but has no willpower”

#im crying #stop calling him out #he just has adhd and is a blood type B #hakuba please #dcmk #magic kaito #hakuba saguru #kaitou kid #and to his credit the subtility is there #hes not saying that kaito wont focus because he doesnt want to #he is highlighting kaito’s ability to hyperfixate and carry something out #while highligting kaito’s trait of not having a well defined goal for the long term #which is true #kaito himself probably hasnt thought too far about how long the kid thing will take him #and he does have a CLEAR tendency to be carried by the flow!

sth that always frustrates me is when people on here say things like "jewish ppl u can let go of connection to israel bc you can be at home in the countries you live in!" and someone responds with a whole essay on how antisemitism is alive and well.. bc that still accepts the original premise. you're saying yes, i agree, we would not feel a connection to the land if antisemitism didn't exist, but it does. this ignores the root misconception that makes someone say things like that, which is that they deny (or simply don't realize/understand) our connection to the land, which transcends the existence of antisemitism in the diaspora. walk into any orthodox school that doesn't even consider itself zionist, and you'll find the kids having conversations with their teachers about how to reconcile feeling comfortable in galut with the desire to properly mourn the beit hamikdash & yearn for mashiach so that we can return. this isn't metaphorical in the slightest; many of them will make aliyah whether mashiach comes or not (and it won't have anything to do with secular zionism or antisemitism). eradicating antisemitism in the diaspora would never change the fact that we are in galut. if they were smart they would actually shift the conversation to why we don't need an explicitly/exclusively jewish state in order to live safely & thrive in eretz yisrael, but they won't bc a) that would require accepting the validity of our connection to it and b) they consider it "validating settler fears" or wtvr the fuck. so instead they will continue to be totally inept at realpolitik solutions & fail to see eye to eye in conversation with jews bc they fundamentally misunderstand.. everything about us.

#or max theyll say uhm we never said ull b KICKED OUT or KILLED we think u should safely live under [nationalism but in the other direction] #it's actually very telling that if you look at activists *in* i/p who do real things instead of internet activism #the entire reason they're successful is bc they do what im talking abt here. they acknowledge the reason it's important #to both of us is not bc of antisemitism or oppression but just bc it's our homeland #also to be clear you can explain why the feeling of the need for a state is fueled by antisemitism #but 2 conflate the state w the land & say that our connection to the land can be erased or made metaphorical once antisemitism is conquered #is bs and wont get you anywhere #shoutout to that one post i saw saying yearning for eretz yisrael was always metaphorical... im So Tired #like besides being ahistorical that really only reflects the lived experience of the most assimilated among us. it's true for u maybe #but my community was absolutely not dicking around when they spoke about galut #nachi speaks #on galut #also if anybody normal wants to reblog this if u have sth to say too long for replies. lmk ill consider it

i actually have so many ideas for things I wanna draw for my ship with Brook,,,, but it's mosyly memey shit rather then anything fleshed out,,,, and I'm not good at drawing stuff like that 😔 maybe one day I will just do a doodle page of them all cause I have like 4 or 5 ideas in my head,,, but i know they wouldn't be worth fulling rendering em,,,,

#i dareth to say im so far gone ive thought of a vampire au for my ship with him🧍🏾‍♂️ #mostly cause i want to have a reason to draw him in his alive design..... since he would still be human and my s/i would be the vampire.... #but idk yet cause like my o/nep/iece insert is already part dog.... and if i make him a vampire.... #then its like ''congragulations bitch you just made your c/astlevania insert again'' since that insert is already a dogboy vampire #much to think about #also like i need to whip out a vendiagram of how me shipping with b/rook was destined to happen based of my love for Chop and V/arney.... #you may be thinking ''what are you on about gideon???'' but it all makes since in my brain its clear as day 👁️👄👁️ #im rambling my insomnia is really kicking my ass tonight..... burdened with many silly f/o thoughts #my post #nobody read anything im saying please lmao

[steelycunt]

do you have already some ideas for pride au s? i need to know what is going on in that blender that ur brain is. do u see him with high waisted levi’s and crop tops??? is he a total doormat for smiths enjoyer r??? i need to know more

hi omg yes! yes i do! s' deal is slightly different to r's, in that r has no parallel/does not correspond to any character in the original film, so i'm basically inserting him as a figure into the narrative (although as irrelevant as this is, to me he is. closest to bill nighy's cliff if cliff was a young man in the eighties xx), whereas s more or less fills the position that mark fills in the film. but other than that he is completely free 4 me to characterise and i think he will be so fun honestly! from the thoughts ive had so far hes sort of a mess of a guy at least to begin with. he is kind of moving at a hundred miles and hour + throwing himself into organizing this thing but if you were to slow him down and put him under a microscope hes uhhh. quite lost + lonely in a way. i expect it will not take him very long to become quite embarrassingly gone for r i think he will consider him the best thing since. sliced bread within hours of meeting him he is imagining them both as the two maidens of pompeii its. a really poor performance from him. he thinks r’s accent is sooo sexy every time he talks s is twirling his hair like omggggg. say that again or please elaborate please tell me more…please…..

also i am looking forward to dressing him up in fun outfits again because he is first and foremost my barbie i am just not sure what yet! i am not as familiar with the eighties as i am with the seventies in a lot of ways so. the setting and everything that comes with that will be really fun to research xx although i am struggling to decide on s' music taste!! r lends himself very well to eighties music i think i could build him a record collection easily (including the smiths sad but true) whereas. s seemed to fit better in the seventies :-/ i am not sure what hes listening to in the eighties apart from seventies records he hasnt let go of yet!! and despite the much more glaring aspects of this fic i have yet to turn my attention to frankly. deciding what silly little songs s wants to listen to is currently one of my main priorities xx

#also in relation to s serving as the mark figure and any instance where the characters are directly reflecting a figure in the film #although for the purpose of the narrative they're inhabiting specific roles (e.g. leader/founder of lgsm / paddy considine's role of the #miner they have sort of. first contact with) they're in no way intended to inhabit or comment on or. reflect the characters of whichever #figure they correspond to in the film. if that makes sense. as in their actual characterisations are purely fictional + the only link they #have to the characters in the film is the fact that they are serving the same narrative role! other than that theyre completely fictional #and that is the only sense in which theyre based on the film characters (and therefore the real people the film characters are based on). #hopefully that makes sense but seeing as im like knee deep in research + interviews + articles + documentaries about this now i am #ever more #conscious of the fact that pride is based on real people and therefore just wanted to be. super clear that none of the characters in this #au would be based on the film's portrayal of those real people in terms of the way they are characterised! #they fulfil certain positions that reflect real events as required by the story but as characters they are. purely fictional :-) anyway #sorry for this long winded way of making a very simple comment hopefully i dont have to say the word narrative again but. yeah #if i do write this i wanted to b super clear about that right off the bat :-) s is going about things in a singularly s way #(<- pathetically and cuntily) #god this is. sooo sorry for how long every part of this post is anon this is so embarrassing. no one ever can accuse me of being concise #anon #telegram #pride au

I just remembered that a naruto fan art rendition of Judith beheading her rapist Holofernes exists and ☹️

#the one where sasuke is Holofernes andd sakura is Judith #like i like piece the artist is really talented but #A why did you make all of the white???? #B girl wtf are you tryna say #C no really whats the point whatvwas the reason #what a odd moment in naruto fandom history i hope she made some money off those prints #why were they yt tho #it was just salt in the wound to make them Caucasians #like yeah sasuke was an ass to Sakura but Judith beheading her rapist Holofernes girl #that is not the comparison i would have made but damn ok i guess #i will always be so curious what was jt that was trying to be said there beautiful art but at the end of the day im just confused #and wasn't she a Kylo ren fan #.................... like #where is the disconnect #naruto #pro sasuke #and to be clear in my opinion Sakura got what she put out in that relationship #like no one is owed civilty and when you cross peoples boundaries repeatedly you are even less deserving of it #sasuke and sakura were just two really different people who just did not get along and they both learned that the hard way #D why would you do that to such a beautiful and significant artwork

even has killed people—though perhaps that depends on your definition of people—and it’s not. how do i put it. it’s never cool, you know? it’s never a moment where this puts them in control of a situation, where they can show off some skill in putting someone down. because even is not, generally, very powerful, and they do not know how to do this.

it just gets messy.

which is one of those terrible reasons why they… well, they don’t like the master, but they have to like that she can do it easy, quick, clean. she can give even the ability to, as well, when she wants. if for no other reason than it means that they won’t have to scrub it raw off their skin later, they appreciate that.

#but if left to their own devices? #what im saying i think is: the doctor 🤝 even: has killed someone with a rock #and of course i say whatever your definition of people is because you’d have to ask if you count daleks as people #i’m honestly not sure if even does. they might have pre-getting launched into a pocket dimension war. they really might have. #very expansive definition of people on account of them not really feeling like they should count as one anyway so therefore if they do. lots #of things must. including the murder trash cans. they’re flesh on the inside aren’t they? they speak they think they hate. #but i think they stop. because it’s better not to. it’s easier. and guiltless too. not like a dalek stops to xonsider your personhood. #but to be very very clear. even has also killed just. guys. #actually i have in my notes here that the tone-setting moment of this whole. arc? #is that it really starts with a jailbreak. predicated on lackluster security for one of the prisoners because they are *just* a human. #and the other is. well. and there’s a war that won’t end that there’s no escape from now to worry about. #but the tone-setting part yeah. is that this really starts with even befriending someone like them through the bars. time lords need #janitors too you know? someone has to clean up around the cells. and they let even out for a minute because of that friendship. #as you can imagine. even is not going back in the cell once they’re out of it. no matter what they promised. and their ‘friend’ is going to #alert someone. and. #you need to understand most of all from this first point. that even doesn’t know that regeneration isn’t A) an inherent trait of gallfrey #rather than a granted one and B) infallible. that’s the cslculation they make. that whatever damage they do won’t matter because they’ll #come back from the dead. ………they do not. #it’s reslly a ‘congratulations! you broke free of the narrative constraints (and safeties) of standing near the doctor! murder is now #unlocked! good luck!’ moment akdhfkshdkfj #anyway. <3 makes their life worse on purpose <3 #dw oc

i will be a hater for a minute. i hate the whole 'ohh i was too mature for my age as a kid but now i'm immature as an adult' cause never once have i seen anyone talk about the case where you were never mature. i never at all felt it or was on the same level with our peers at any point in life and that's a very different experience. the very few things we were into as a kid/teen were always juxtaposed with the things others were doing that were wiser and more sensible and more in touch with. whatever expectations are in place and whatever is gauged as mature

#MAKING IT VERY CLEAR RN NO HATE 2 PPL WHO DO FEEL REPRESNTED BY THOSE 😭 but that's all i ever see #'make yr own post abt it then' idont think i will. im not one to start these conversations im just saying with how common That statement is #its weird that no one ever talks abt This one #but i suppose theres not many of us #idk. at least ya got 2 feel jus a bit superior over others n feel a bit more 'grown' (ik its all bullshit but yk. it can b flatterin 2 hear) #me? i been team idiot since da start. idid not progress i did not improve i did not regress im just. stuck oh mt gawd im actually losing it #i actually cant handlw myseld or this life im actually breakin down so bad LOL #ok im ok. anyway im just. this is similar 2 lile 'oh my trauma made me Stronger/mature for my age/wtv' all sams thing and #wr have literally never got to experience that either. we are literally incapacitated by our trauma we are meek and lifeless and so so #afraid and helpless and dependent to the point even escaping the environment is an insurmountable task #no one talks about thia though why does bo one talk about this ... #im like if a 21yo girl was mentally age 7
