#IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY KIDS SHOW

[luck-of-the-drawings]

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

#jrwi show #jrwi fanart #jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #made this within a short span of wahtever bc i gotta go up to the mountains for my stupid gay job tonight n im trying #nnot to frrRREAAAK THE FUCK OUUTTTTTTi dont wanna work but. get that bread we fuckin shall i guess #ONWARDS TO THE FISH TORMENT!! sometimes flowers feel pain when you trim them before their blossoming. atleast i imagine so #i used to draw gillion with loooong hair tied into a big ol braid. and then it was confirmed that he had short hair when he was little. #AT FIRST I WAS SAD. but then i realized the duality of. when they were little. gill had short hair. edyn had long hair. #AND NOW THEYRE OLDER. and gillion has long hair. and edyn has short hair #both mirroring eachother. looking up to eachother. subconsciously or not. they most certainly care. and most certainly miss eachother. #GILLION ALWAYS LOVED HOW LONG HAIR LOOKs. atleast i imagine so. he hasnt cut it since he left the undersea. sure he wanted to go back home #but even at the very start. he knew he was free in some way now. free to grow out his hair. an adventure would await him before he returns. #he knew it would be a while. so he cant let this go. he cant let this sought-after hair-length get cut away from him again #not yet. not yet. i like to think he loved music too. I SAW SOMETHING INTERESTING A BIT AGO #i see alot of ppl commenting on my baby gill comics like;'i wouldFIGHT this teacher i wanna KILL EM i want them DESTROYED #all very good and nice sentiments! i LOVE the energy here! and it would be nice. to have that catharsis #but the story of young tidestrider is not a story of catharsis. it is a story of agony and being so so small and so special and also so dum #and sucking so bad. and just being a kid and doing the things that a little kid does and so many tired tired people reacting badly to it #youre supposed to be the hero that will save us. our world hangs in the balance and you are the one who tips the scales. #YOU are supposed to SAVE US!! you NEED to SAVE US! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SQUIRMING IN YOUR STUPID CHAIR!! #you'd think that young tidestrider ought to prevail. and be tucked someplace all safe and sound. #elders gone missing and rotting in a jail. their cultists nowhere around. but theres no happy endings. not here not now. #this tale is all sorrows n woes. you may dream that justice n peace win the day. but thats not how this story goes #BIG ideas for this lil baby gillion series. if anything i make ever gets disproven im killing myself in a well as to poison a water supply

Tony and Vanessas relationship through Gregory can be something so personal

#im so obsessed with the concept of tony and vanessa #i got some of it out in rabbit burrow but like #vanessa seeing this kid show up who gregory knew pre memory loss pre vanessa being free #coming back and hes supposed to be dead. hes probably the only one to survive the two of them #and then he keeps coming over and coming over all the time #and vanessa watches gregory and him hole up in his room for hours and she can hear them laughing from the living room #and theres this other one named ellis as well #but he isnt like how tony is with gregory #vanessa just watches her kid and this other kid get reacquainted #and as more time passes she notices their relationship becomes special #tony is like a blend of gregorys old and new life and all of the good in both #and vanessa just loves seeing her kid happy #tony and vanessa both iteract sometimes but dont really talk one on one #but vanessa knows that they have a common goal #tht they want the best for gregory #and vanessa just grows fond of this other kid who seems to be attatched at the hip with hers #and starts to prepare little snacks for when he comes over when she learns more meals to make #pandas.txt #pandas talks #thoughts #beckory #detective rabbit #vanessa #gregory #3 star fam #tony

I really want Christmas season to feel like Christmas season again this year. it hasn't for a couple years, I've kinda breezed right through it, but I want to try and focus on it this year.

#and if that person who's like 'holidays don't feel special when you're an adult #because you're supposed to have kids to watch experience the wonder of it all but instead you just have a dog and a sad void'' #shows up on this post I swear to God I'm blocking them #that post made me so angry? like what the heck man I #I am single and happy. I don't have a dog and a sad void I have a dog and am full of joy #and I can be intentional about enjoying a season whether or not I have kids (which I never want to btw)??? #I know that post is kinda old and some of you probably know the person who made that comment #nothing against them tbh it was just phrased really confrontationally and kinda frustrated me #there's not only one right way to live a life.... if I don't ever have kids I can still enjoy holidays as an adult??? hello?? #ok sorry hater moment over I'm gonna be joyful now #Lu rambles

BEHOLD. A lad.

I decided to have a little fun experimenting with what I could do in IbisPaint, and there isn't enough art of MK in a little raincoat out there in my opinion.

For some extra fun, I lined the art twice with different brushes and decided to do two different final concepts for the same sketch. I'm really proud of both of them!

Anti-medicine tr@dwife moms on social media will be like "I quit giving my kids medication when they're sick because Big Pharma is poisoning everyone and I know this is true because I used to give my kid tylenol and it made them hyperactive just LOOK at this video they were laying down sick with a fever half an hour before this, this is what it did to them" and then it's a video of a two year old playing with their toys and maybe dancing around a little bit like wooooowwwww you gave your young child something to relieve the symptoms of their illness that were making them exhausted and in pain and now they're PLAYING and acting like a relatively healthy kid instead of acting too tired and uncomfortable to do anything?????? Yes clearly that's a sign that they're being poisoned and not at all that the medication maybe helped them feel better

#(feel ridiculous ''censoring'' on here but i don't want this popping up on their feeds because i didn't) #and the videos won't even show hyperactivity (or whatever other 'behaviors' they claim) #it's just typical toddler behavior like y'all? #y'all realize safe and happy and healthy kids aren't supposed to be statues right??? #they do in fact move around and make noise #i quit being active on social media for a few days and suddenly all my recommended posts are fucked #what about my disappearance told instagram i wanted to see a bunch of tr@dwife and transphobic content?? #also stuff from ''alpha males'' but those have been relatively few and far between so far #and tumblr has been giving me a bunch of random shipping discourse posts which is baffling and annoying #but it's starting to heal already unlike instagram

My distaste with season 5, and this show as a whole, boils down to the fact that the writers have gone all in on the idea that the only true Character that is allowed to exist in this story is Johnny, and nearly all the others are just malleable dolls for the writers to move around and play with as they see fit to advance the story in a direction that will make Johnny the Ultimate Winner Of Everything.

And I hear the criticisms already of “but Johnny’s the protagonist! Obviously every other character is ultimately going to serve his story.” But Walter White is the protagonist of Breaking Bad and Jimmy McGill is the protagonist of Better Call Saul and Kendall Roy is arguably the protagonist of Succession. And obviously it’s unfair to compare shows of that caliber to Cobra Kai, but do you see my point? In all of the above, the characters that orbit the protagonist are fully fleshed out people, equally complex and just as motivated by their own desires and history and traumas as the protagonist is. And yet still, ultimately, their characters do end up serving the protagonist’s arc, and the story as a whole. Because that’s what good writing is.

But increasingly, all the other characters in Cobra Kai have stopped behaving like actual people—especially the ones that pose any challenge for Johnny. Their feelings get stamped down in favor of removing Johnny’s obstacles towards happiness, which only winds up reducing Johnny’s own character in complexity and likability.

I watch Cobra Kai now and I don’t find any of these characters believable, maybe Johnny most of all, because the writers steadfastly refuse to let him face any real serious consequence for his actions. Instead, they have everyone falling over themselves to forgive him, repeatedly giving him a do over—a chance to right his wrongs without ever ever fully acknowledging the hurt and pain he’s caused. This season, quite literally in the form of a new baby. And if that’s the story they want to tell, well fine. It’s their story to tell. But they can’t keep pretending like this is a redemption story, that there’s anything deeper beneath the surface of this show than just being about a guy who does karate and kicks ass and gets the girl and defeats the Big Bad of the week. This is not a story about trauma, Johnny’s or anyone else’s. It’s really not about anything at all anymore.

#cobra kai season 5 #s5 spoilers #throwing in a baby is maybe the cheapest trick in the book when it comes to writing #its so so so so so so so so so stupid #and the fact that robby AND miguel aren’t allowed to have conflicted enotions about this—theyre happy for him and were supposed to see that #signals character growth #thats just so beyond #your deadbeat dad suddenly having a new kid is hard. youre allowed to FEEL thing about that #and being inextricably tied to the kid who almost killed you? thats also hard #they threw in a baby as a cheap and easy way to get all these characters on the same page #and its lazy and boring not to mention spits in the face of everything this show originally claimed to be about #not to mention the idea that carmen would WANT to have a baby with a chronic alcoholic who shes been dating for less than a year #who she’s barely even KNOWN for a year #but what are women if not baby factories right? :) #but whatever! #and the thing is. daniel this season was the kost believable character of them all. because his actions DO have consequences. again and #again and again he is challenged with the consequences of his actions #and forced to examine whether hes making the right choices #but johnny NEVER is #and in the process theyre trying to retcon and reframe the mistakes he HAS made over the past 4 seasons #as trying to be something less severe than they were #you don’t have to water down the deoth of johnnys flaws to make him a likable character! #in fact doing that just literally makes him unlikeable #and it doesnt evade me that daniels writing being at its best happens to coincide with thebseason where he poses zero challenge to johnny #but whatever!!! its fine its fine its fine #ck negativity

What's that one quote that goes like "I had a dream of my mother with the love of her life and no children. It was the happiest I've ever seen her", because... yeah

#grandma dug up an old photo album to show me #1998. mom was 25. young and beautiful and happy #I look at those pics and its hard to believe it's the same person #she's twice that age now so of course she looks older. but she's also genuinely happier and unburdened #she has told me before she gave into societal pressures when it comes to marriage and kids #so the 'love of her life' part of the quote doesn't really fit #but it does hit hard sometimes to realise that she really. really would have been happier if she never had vi and I #it's definitely tough to think about #am I glad she had us? sort of #like. I exist. so that could count as a positive #but considering that she's a good person but a bad mother. sometimes I wish she never did #she's still my mom. I still wish she could have been happy in life #now she's just 50 and full of regrets #so looking at old photos always make me.. sad. melancholic. I suppose #she was really pretty in her 20s though #on one hand I'm happy I don't look like her because I wouldn't want to be reminded every time I look in the mirror #(suirencore) #but on the other I'd certainly rather look like her than my dad #lose-lose either way. really

Sometimes in life I’m just vibing and then out of nowhere Glee fucking hits me under the jaw and it’s all I can think about and I still wish that show was better because it altered my life and had so much potential if there wasn’t a need to cause drama just for the sake of it

#ravenpuff rambles #like there was a point in the show where they were breaking up couples and having them cheat or having them fight #just so they could leave episodes on a cliff hanger and get you to come back #as if I would return if they were happy like bitch #also some of the seasons felt like they were supposed to be the wrap up and then there was more??? #like season 3 could have been an end. #Season 5 genuinely felt like the last episode was wrapping shit up #I know they actually wrapped up season 6 but I feel like that one needed more so much was left unanswered #like why did they introduce all those new kids for that little bit of time and then not tell us what happened with them #anyways I have *feelings* about Glee

I’m so genuinely pissed off that a show that was supposed to have one its core relationships be an endgame triad is now going to have a series finale that effectively calls polyamory bullshit that I cannot full express how upset I am. It’s not just that we *never* see polyamory unless it’s a joke or a failed relationship; it’s that this unplanned ending destroys one of the core tenets of the show. By ending the arc two-thirds of the way through, it doesn’t just make the arc pointless: it turns it against itself.

Max, Audrey, and Aki were endgame and now they’re broken up forever. They’ve been building to a triad since their first scene and now that’s all for nothing, not because of the writing but because of the network and I’m just so sad about stories that don’t get endings, that don’t get to finish what they were trying to say. I know it’s the gossip girl reboot of all things but there was a story here! There was a point, an argument, an outright statement that polyamory can work and three people can love each other and be in a happy, healthy relationship and now, because the story gets a stop but not an end, we don’t get to see that. These kids were going to spend the next season getting over and through their growing pains and they were going to be endgame and now? Now they’re just the feelings I have about them, I guess

#fuck a tag essay you get a post essay #I’m so upset and I’m annoyed that I’m upset because it’s the fucking gossip girl reboot but name a single happy poly relationship in media #give me one #you can’t because there isn’t one. sense8 doesn’t count because it’s rushed. siren doesn’t count because they fucked that up. and now this #doesn’t get to count because hbomax cancelled it #and i don’t even disagree with the decision to cancel it because this season was all over the place but like. the fact that these kids were #supposed to be endgame and a poly relationship was a major plotline of this show and now they’re going to end the show broken up? #it kills me #hey hbomax i just wanna talk real quick #gossip girl #my poly kids
