what people assume i'm thinking while i'm working on rekindled: "GRRR I HATE LO AND RACHEL!!! I HATE HER SO MUCH!!! THIS WILL SHOW HER AND HER FANS! THIS WILL SHOW ALL OF THEM! I HOPE RACHEL SEES THIS AND CRIES!!!"

what i'm actually thinking while i work on rekindled: "man i'm having a great time working on this but i can't wait to be done with this panel that's driving me nuts. i wonder how i can get that cool splatter effect rachel did in S1. bright colors make brain go brrrr. i can't wait to get to the part where hades clowns on himself. oof i'm hungry, i need to figure out what to have for dinner tonight. oh look, an 11 hour retrospective on the simpsons-"

#fr i'm vibin' y'all i'm having a great time #ppl see me joke about rekindled being a spite project and just automatically assume i'm SEETHING the whole time i'm working on it #i wouldn't waste time working on something purely out of hate y'all lmao #it's easy to cling to the idea that i hate lore olympus with a blind seething passion due to what i get up to here #and it undoubtedly makes for the easiest explanation that doesn't require any nuance #but i promise you that i still have a lot of love for how LO used to make me feel and what it meant to me once upon a time #i wouldn't be trying so hard to make it emulate the style of S1 to begin with if i didn't love it deep down lol #you're just on an LO critical blog so ofc a lot of what you're gonna see is LO critical stuff LMAO #don't miss the forest for the trees pls <3 #i didn't even include all the times i'm sitting there drawing thinking 'i wanna play video games i wanna play video games i wanna play vid- #lore rekindled #self post

#y'all my anxiety has me spiraling as of late because it just feels like my whole life is falling apart at this point #i got fired from my job a couple of months ago and i've been scrambling to try and find a new one #i work part time at a store i really love but it pays shit #and i've had all of these interviews and no one wants to hire me and i just feel unhireable at this point and it's hard not to despair #and on top of that i'm struggling with my self esteem again #i know i'm not ugly per se but i'm struggling with feeling confident in the way i look as a big girl #and all of my old insecurities are rearing their ugly heads and i want to cry just thinking about it #and i feel like such a failure right now even though i know that life has its ups and downs but my stupid brain just won't chill #and i don't really have any friends in the area because they all either moved away or didn't live here to begin with #and i'm tired of living at home because of my stupid student loans and not being able to afford to live on my own #i have one person i hang out with and we just met and i don't want to scare them off because they're a great friend and person #and i just feel like i'm never going to meet anybody who's going to love me the way i want to be loved because of my looks #also because it's me. and i feel like i'm so flawed as a person that no one will ever fall in love with me #and i've just been feeling really alone lately and i'm trying to do things to make me feel better but it's just so HARD right now #and i love writing because it gives me a chance to explore some of my feelings and it's something i genuinely love to do #and i'm sitting here waiting for the day things start to get better. and i know we all joke and i'm gonna sounds so dumb for saying this #but i feel like i was meant to be famous? or do something great idk and it's something everyone has always told me #and idk if my feelings of inadequacy are because of that or what but i'm scared that my life is going to mean nothing in the end #anyway this was a lot and you can pretend like you didn't read it. i just wanted to write some of my feelings down

Dorothea Gillim really went "I want to make a show that's so funny I'd unironically watch it, but for kids. I know! I'll hire writers from Family Guy, The Onion, and SNL!"

Add some A List voice actors and let them riff a bit, and that's how you get the chaotic satirical shitposty masterpiece that is WordGirl

#wordgirl #quinpost #seriously her goal was for the comedy to be the main thing and it's so funny my guy #I mean the show is self-described as satirical and a parody... and the 4th wall is practically non existent lmao #they're just like let's make a crazy plot with amazing characters and comedy as a priority and then add some vocab #like I'm sorry but this is 10x better than family guy; y'all are getting praised for the wrong show XD #no wonder it was my favorite show as a kid.... rewatching it was such a good decision #like I knew the show was hilarious as a kid but as an adult I'm able to see SO MUCH MORE bc I get the satire now #it's so meta and self-aware #ahead of its time truly #if it came out today it'd be so big on tumblr lmao #ok but why do we treat PBS Kids shows as less than cable shows? #like they're targeted to the same age but one happens to be educational #(and free.... hmmmmmmmm) #you know how many words I learned from wordgirl that weren't even featured words? they just use them and you pick em up from context clues #one of the earliest featured words was 'cumbersome' and man I used that word so much as a kid bc of it XD #they never should've taught me flabbergasted though; i still use that one all the time hgjkl;' #i'd actually forgotten what 'stimy' meant so my rewatch actually taught me a word at age 24 sdfghj #and I read the dictionary more than once as a kid #see? it IS possible to make kids shows that DON'T talk down to kids!! It's written like it's adults watching; just that the jokes are clean #cannot recommend enough; it deserves the attention it's getting and more

still thinking about that 'the 'how big is your English vocabulary' test dropped new ship dynamics' post so I did a quick colour pencil grid.

#jokes on y'all though. i only actually ship the top two but i Love five and turlough under entrapment. #he's meant to be handing through the black guardian's crystal if that isn't clear. #fitzeight #fivetegan #turlough #five #romana #four #*handing turlough. thanks autocorrect #also when i was rubbing out the pencil sketches to go over in colour pencil i went to hold the rubber between my lips the same way i do a #pencil. but i forgot it's a kneadable art rubber (which i can't recommend enough i love it) but essentially i put a huge hunk of blutack #between my lips. it was hugely unpleasant. #funny though.

Crying screaming throwing up etc because of the heaven official's blessing audio drama s1 finale

XL going "hey San Lang, you know way too much about me, have we met before?" and then the IMMEDIATE cut to the god-pleasing festival agsdgfjfkdakajttjss

And then!!! The montage of all their best quotes from the past!!! If you don’t know how to live on anymore, then live for me! I have a beloved who's still in this world! I pray to never rest in peace! Forget me. - Taizi dianxia, I will never forget you!!!

And then back to the festival and Xie Lian finishes catching little baby Hong-er AND THEN??? IT JUST ENDS????? HOW DARE????????

#I thought I was fine with the audio drama ending where it does. Then I heard Hua Cheng say 'I pray to never rest in peace' #Way earlier then expected with no time to mentally prepare myself for it #And now I'm insane again #also the pain??? In Hong-er's voice as he yells that last line about never forgetting Xie Lian??? His VA is so talented but also OUCH???!?! #And!!! In just 3 days!!! The donghua s2 will come out!!! And I will go through this insanity all over again!!! GRRRRRR ARF ARF ARF #i know i said previously that im yelling about this to my friends on discord only but then i got called annoying by one so tumblr it now is #i know they meant it as a joke but also i'm gonna need at least two weeks to forget about that statement before i can talk to them again #about anything important to me #in the meantime sorry about y'all's dash but i need to let this out *somewhere*

#color says shit #this is about the twitterpocalypse and tumblr getting weird about it #do y'all realize that these communities have existed on tumblr already. it's not all superwholock and quirky tumblr U #Christians exist on tumblr. Maga-heads exist on tumblr. alt-right exist on tumblr. #it's just that there's no algorithm pushing it in front of you. #without that unifying algorithm tumblr remains disparate social circles that are very clear and easy to map out #which is what I love about it. you can see the web of social dynamics so clearly because there's no hand of god pushing anyone forward #but to condescend and try to get Twitter users to go through Tumblr U orientation so they know about your ten year old memes is blind #unless you're following tags. you won't see any of the new people until people you follow reblog that shit. #entire groups and cultures can live and die next door and you won't notice shit because their posts simply do not circulate to you #anyway not that any of you care. and that's alright. maybe I just need to curate my feed so I stop seeing people be dumb about it #our glorious hellsite. their hideous tweetbook. you know the drill #saw someone try and throw in that classic opinion that reddit is the worst. like 'at least it's not redditors immigrating' like bruh stfu #internet xenophobia is fucking hilarious but I'm kinda tired of laughing #tumblr isn't the only goddamned place that has inside jokes #it's just tumblr nationalism #this feels like one of those posts that I could make actual text and then use the appropriate tags to get some traction but idgaf #I don't need a bunch of people agreeing with me. I just want to complain #I would absolutely love to hear opinions though. other people's experiences are cool as shit #that 'not that any of you care' wasn't meant to be passive aggressive it was a 'I don't expect you to feel strongly about this'

me @ me: you will not find a reason to ramble about kaiya tonight, go do other things

me, clearly ignoring rational thought: you know i think kaiya probably planted flowers on her papa’s grave, maybe red spider lilies considering their symbolism. but it’s kind of sad bc i imagine she had a hard time visiting her father’s grave for a while bc shortly after he died, her mom would sit there for hours no matter how much kaiya would try to convince her to come home; her mom wouldn’t come with her until the sun began to set. so not only was her father’s grave difficult to visit bc kaiya couldn’t properly grieve and process his death, but it was also a place seeped in her mother’s sorrow, too. 

i don’t think she even truly grieves her father and her own life that was sort of taken from her until years later, after the main storyline, when she finally revisits her hometown, reunites with her mom, and finally has the courage to visit her father’s grave by herself. and she sees the spider lilies are blooming beautifully, that her mother has clearly taken care of them, and a weight kind of lifts from her chest. this weight has been with her since her dad died, since she left to get married, since she remembered who she was -- this worry that her mother wouldn’t recover, wouldn’t be able to take care of herself without kaiya there to support her, would crumble at the loss of her daughter. she’s worried for decades that she’d come home and realize her mother struggled because she wasn’t here, and---

her mom was okay. she survived, she moved on, she lived. she took care of her husband’s grave, hard as it may have been. she was okay despite everything, and it’s such a relief to kaiya. and it hurts a little too, bc maybe this was always the case. maybe her mother was always strong enough to care for herself and pick herself up, but kaiya simply couldn’t trust that to be true. maybe it was kaiya’s fear of losing another parent that drove her to shoulder so much of the burden rather than her mother’s need for help.

so kaiya cries out of relief; out of sorrow; and finally, her heart begins to heal.

#CRIES!!!! THROWS MYSELF TO THE GROUND!!!! WAILS!!!!! #i remembered this hc bc of something i was plotting and AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH #sorry i just have so many feelings about this and i'm ;;;;;;;;;;;;; #man kaiya makes me simultaneously so sad and so happy bc i hate that she went through so much #but i love love love how her story turns out in the end #i love how she heals and grows and YOU KNOW WHAT #she /does/ get her happy ending bc she was always assuming she wasn't meant to have one bc of what she did and what she was #well joke's on her bc she's gonna be happy by the end of her story uvu she deserves the world she really does #my gosh y'all i just love my silly oc so much #headcanons | kaiya

Literally every new thing I see from that new Velma show has me doing the

"THEY WOULD NOT FREAKING SAY THAT!!"

bit

#they just... they arent even the same characters #they are (canonically!!) 15 and making secual jokes and swearing and they all hate each other #daphne is a drug dealer??? #you can make things mature without making them vulgar (look at mystery incorporated!!!) #wheres the heart #this is not the mystery gang #jemwolf talks #just noticed i misspelled stuff in the tags but im too lazy to retype it so y'all can deal #you can probably tell what i meant anyhow

[psalmsofpsychosis]

Today in "my villain origin story is tumblr" news:

tumblrinas IDing girls with blush on as "racist transphobes" and micro bangs as "a sign of being a radfem" and categorizing bald men as "neonazis unless they wear a hawaiian shirt to prove that they're not racist" (???????)

#i wish i was joking #and i'm not even talking about the exasperated people in comment sections like ''oh no i wanted to wear micro bangs they look cute on me #but now i can't because i dont want to be a terf :('' #PEOPLE SUGGESTING ''GOOD BALD GUYS'' TO WEAR HAWAIIAN SHIRTS AT ALL TIMES LEST THEY BE ID'D AS A NEONAZI #like. have y'all ever considered the fact that some stuff are just literally normal things and not a sociopolitical cue #that you can use to mask the fact that you just hate people and want to see others as evil and untrustworthy #and are looking for justification so you feel better about the judgemental assface that you are?? #Motherfyckers out there saying shit like ''this girl wears cute shoes. they must be a racist terf'' #my brother in freakhouse that girl is literally just existing. it's you #you're the problem you're the one who's full of hatred and resentment and trying to conjure up reasons for it it's you #''this is a politically charged appearance signaling–'' FUCK OFF SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BALD. THEY'RE NOT NEONAZIS THEY JUST DONT HAVE HAIR #the ''everything has sociopolitical symbolism and is a politically charged act meant to signal something'' people make me sick

I desperately need the Stranger Things fan base to Stop a Thing you are doing, please.

Sometimes, items and text are put in the background of scenes as Easter eggs for viewers. Moreso in recent years. HOWEVER. Not everything in the background of every scene is Important and Telling.

Paper props are not meant for you to pause and parse blurry out of focus text. Props are not individual clues to you about characters.

Yes, this is mostly about the whole Chrissy's birthdate on the document thing. If the Duffers forgot Will's birthday, they were not checking the typed pages for accuracy for text that wasn't relevant to the scene.

All this is to say: please stop consuming media in ways it was not meant to be consumed. Not everything is a Clue or even relevant. TV show set dressings aren't meant to be parsed like an escape room.

#stranger things season four #stranger things s4 #stranger things 4 #i am begging you to break out of these habits #you're not meant to pause and shout 'enhance' like you're on a forensic cop show on the set details #some things are jokes and y'all can do what you want #but please don't take blurry screenshots as evidence of canon intent
