#also the best part of my talk

[egophiliac]

IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)

(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tapis rouge #i know these are not my best but by god i needed to draw ~daddo venue~ #he is a treat! can't wait for him to yell at us for screwing up a shoot or whatever the last-minute disaster will be #i am SO HAPPY it turned out to be about movies after all! ...i mean sort of anyway #i'll take what i can get (and i do enjoy twst trying to be all cute about snow whAHEM i mean beautiful queen) (i see you there twst) #(also to be fair it actually wasn't poisoned in historial-revisionism-twstland so i think we can trust this apple. a+ acting eric) #anyway we are still. very solidly in the 'stand around and talk about the wallpaper for three hours' part of the event. #but HEY we got to meet eric! i was not really expecting it to be him so i am VERY pleased #also god help me i did think the shopping montage as portrayed by a rhythmic where they literally SKIP down the street was hilarious #there's a lot of Choices that were made in this event and that was a good one

Obsessed with lovers and piners calling the object of their affections their best friend. Like yessss blur the lines between platonic and romantic love. show how important they are to you in a multifaceted way. Cover up your feelings with another kind of love that is just as true. One type of love does not negate the other and but tragedy can rip both out from under you single handedly, and it will hurt so much more that way. Losing a friend and a lover. Gaining both and not needing any labels for what they are. Using labels but having it be so much more than a title. Were they friends before they were lovers? Or were they lovers whose friendship grew inside of their love? Unclear! Who cares!

#any time one side of the pairing pulls out the best friend card I am immediately on the floor #they can be side by side! they can be distinct! it doesn't have to be explained! #they did this in the new nimona movie and i crumpled #call me arospec and biased but holy shit this is my bread and butter #nimona #goldenheart #good omens #ineffable husbands #she ra #catradora #ace attorney #narumitsu #they ARE best friends. they are also lovers. are you listening to me. #should i tag queerplatonic here? that's definitely part of this too #clefadrylcorner talks a lot

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

#I’ve said my piece goodnight #don’t play with me Mace Antis I have receipts for every last one of these #pretty much everyone agrees that he was the best duelist there was and he obviously won the fight #Anakin's choice wouldn't make thematic sense otherwise #also vader did not defeat palpatine in combat sorry he just grabbed him while he was distracted #it literally had to be a fair fight and Anakin had to be the one to choose to create the empire that's what the prequels are about #Star Wars databank calls him ‘revered’ shatterpoint tells us he was the youngest (real) member of the council #Boba Fett (tcw) and Prosset Dibs (comics) tried to kill him and he asked for amnesty and forgave them #literally just watch the Ryloth arc he spends most of his screentime saving his men #in tcw season seven he pleads with the battle droids to surrender hoping that no one else has to die #there's the part near the end of tcw where the council realizes that the clones were created by Dooku but Mace and the rest of the council #trust the clones so much they're willing to ignore it #the scene from Mace's POV in the rots novelization talks about how much he loves the republic and how he was blindsided by Anakin's betraya #because he trusted him!! we see in aotc that he has more faith in Anakin's abilities than Obi-wan #and he defeated the most powerful sith of all time single-handedly #BEST JEDI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #sw prequels #star wars prequels #prequel trilogy #sw prequel trilogy #star wars prequel trilogy #sw rots #star wars rots #revenge of the sith #star wars revenge of the sith #galactic republic #pro mace windu #mace windu #pro jedi order #pro jedi

I feel a deep sense of anger and grief for Palestine. I’m angry at God, at the world powers donating to those who are killing civilians, angry at people looking away and encouraging you to worry about yourself when people can’t even walk down their streets without being attacked. I’m angry that my friend donated, only for it to be stolen and taken by the soldiers abusing Palestine. I’m angry that I can’t do much of anything but tell you to at least CARE about the people being bombed and slaughtered. Please, if you can’t do anything please just CARE about these people and listen to their stories. Hold them in your hearts at the very least. Don’t pretend they don’t exist or just brush it off as “its been going on for centuries, there’s no point in stopping it.” I want to do more, I want to make people care and love those who need it, rather than continue spreading anger and hate.

These are real people I’ve drawn. Keep the people of Palestine in your heart at the very least please.

#two of my best friends had to run away from their homes because they were Muslim #it was too dangerous for them to stay #but in leaving they also had to leave behind large parts of their families #they tell me about their friends and loved ones that have died and how empty they feel to it #that they also feel a deep sense of hopelessness and guilt at not being able to help #I have a friend now who teaches me about the qur’an and how it talks about having peace and not being afraid in times like these #so please DONT BE AFRAID TO SAY SOMETHING #Please talk about this with your friends #please educate yourself on what’s happening #please please please just CARE about the people of Palestine #even if it’s scary and even if it hurts you #do it for those who don’t have a choice to be afraid or hurt #free palestine #palestine

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers

like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

#it is just so bleak man. #i have no words left to say for the latest development at zaum studios so instead i will just remember how fucked up this was lol #those stickers are the same energy as that dumbass fucking christmas card they put on steam. #cutesy fanart is awesome and all but don’t muddy the tone of the actual source with it. why is that necessary. #for gods sake what happened to boundaries #again i probably would take a different tone to even the stickers if #it had been done under the original creators (which i don’t think it would have‚ which is my point‚ but say hypothetically it happened) #but with the circumstances the way they are it is impossible to not view it all as tainted with a veneer of absolute tastelessness #and a disrespect to the source material and a sorry attempt to appeal to the shallowest parts of ‘fandom’ #like you can add cartoony emoji faces and a sticker with harry and kim as cats. or their hands with the caption ‘best friends!!!’ (wtf lol) #and a frame with a bunch of pride flags being waved around (hard to articulate why i feel doubly annoyed of this one. #your corporate pride parade aesthetic is showing again. also it feels… lazy) #but you can never‚ ever erase the fact that you are parading around a stolen IP that you are entirely out of touch with #and one that you clearly have *no idea what to do with* #(something that we’ve all known for months with these hints but today has finally been basically confirmed as the sequel seems to be #officially cancelled with the last of the original writers’ crew being laid off) #how could you have known what to do with Elysium? how could you ever have? #hope you have fun with your stickers. rot #disco elysium #me talking

Went to the bank to get some cash, bringing my sock knitting in of course, and the guy who helped me also knits, showed me a picture of his socks he's working on, we talked about knitting for like 20 minutes entirely forgetting i was there for bank reasons, anyway he gave me his number and we are hopefully going to try a little knitting group of just us

#hes just cool to talk to but also we are both so enthusiastic about sock knitting and knitting in general #best bank experience of my life i was smiling the whole time #knitting #update i texted him ! thats the part i always fail at so hell yeah. hopefully he wrote his number down correctly aaa #or that i read it correctly OTL

something i feel responders to pjo criticisms are not getting is book accuracy is important.

rick riordan created this project to be a book accurate adaptation on the screen. it doesn’t matter if annabeth is white and blonde, those people who are mad about that are wrong and their “criticisms” should be just thrown out. no, i’m talking real criticism. because being upset a series whose reason for existing is to be a faithful adaptation isn’t? not stupid. if you can enjoy the series—in my opinion not all the changes are objectively bad, but many, from a storytelling angle? from pure craftsmanship? are objectively bad—regardless, i’m happy for you. truly, if you feel the joy and magic the original series gave me while watching this show, i am overjoyed someone feels the magic. that’s more magical to me, worth more, than the show itself. but if you then insult me for not enjoying the show? tell me i must not love the story as much as you? tell me i am simply looking to hate the newest next thing, and not that i adore this series so much it pains me to see it so? that i don’t wish to see it succeed regardless of the betrayal i feel?

silly me, i thought our shared love of something meant we could all express it, even in different ways. but i guess not. i guess many of the series’ fans are just keen to discuss the show with the same bad faith it was made in.

#once again. does not apply to all enjoyers of the show or those defending it. #literally one of my points is i’m infuriated by these generalizations of character #do not put words in my mouth #the best part of this show to me is the fandom interaction but that doesn’t mean i don’t also take issue with certain fans #even people in my personal life who have asked me for a full debrief of my thoughts and then been. annoyed?? #when that includes what i didn’t like? #acting as if i have this responsibility to not share my true thoughts because it ruins the mood? kills your excitement? when you ASKED ME?? #that’s my own personal gripe but i feel like a similar thing is happening across the fandom space #don’t tell me i can talk about the show but only if i have nice things to say #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo show crit #pjo show #percy jackson show #pjo #percy jackson tv show #ris raves

if you don’t like poetry or think it doesn’t make sense you should look at a poet’s notes app titled ‘ideas’. you haven’t begun to see the horrors of poetry

#same for any writing but this is just the kind of writing i do #at least my comics ideas doc makes more sense to some extent. they jsut arent funny yet #poetry? WHOLE different ball game. best part of making word art is the fuckin NONSENSE you come up with at 3am and write down in a haze. #the best prt is when it turns into a good poem anyway. but by god theres some horrific writing in that doc #poetry #yeah yeah not on topic but ive talked about writing here before so technically yes #it is #also i stole some of these words from tamsyn muir ‘u havent begun to see the horrors of love’. fuckin A sentence

Allow yourself the space to grieve while also recognizing that you made the best decision for yourself. Both are true at once, and you don't need to ignore one emotion in favour of another. Allow yourself the space, freedom, and opportunity to feel your full range of emotions on an entirely neutral basis.

#mental health #mental health support #this was inspired by the grief i've felt in cutting off multiple family members. i deserved to cut them out of my life. #but i also deserve to grieve as much and as long as i need to. and i think it's important to allow others that too #but this goes for any situation in which you did the best you could do but you still need to grieve #grieving isn't just about physical loss. it's ABSOLUTELY part of grief but i don't believe it is the ONLY thing you can grieve #<maybe i should make a post about this #maybe i have talked about it before but then i forgor. who knows but i think this topic is important (that being grief)

In robin/batgirl: fresh blood Bruce sends Cass to go work with Tim in Bludhaven. He tells Cass that he wants them to learn to work together because their skills compliment each other. (tim being a world class detective by like 15 and Cass being one of if not the best fighter in DC) He says he wants them to be ready in case them ever have to take over for him. Which like I really wish we heard more about this plan, where Bruce is in space for a few months (or dead if you so please) and Tim and Cass just decide to give a test run to keep Gotham on it's toes. Also this way Dick doesn't have to be Batman. They are such a cool duo and wish we saw more of them making criminals and Bruce's life miserable.

#this is all part of my elaborate plot for cass to be batman #also they had great discussions about stephs death in this comic #I'll probably talk about that later #kaz reads robin/batgirl: fresh blood #tim drake #cass wayne #cassandra cain #black bat #dc robin #dc batman #the best bat duo #batman #bruce wayne

We went to an antique mall today for my birthday and look at what I found!!

The whole top floor was full of vintage toys and dolls/Barbie’s, I wanted to buy everything 😭

#monster high #the tall ghoul on the counter wasn’t for sale I wanted her so bad 😭 #the one in box on the shelf was for sale but she was 250 bucks #I’m definitely going back there when I get paid they can take all my money #they also had an oddity room where I also wanted to buy everything 😭 #10/10 today was a good day #the lady who worked this part of the store is also autistic/has adhd #and she said one of her hyperfixations is Barbie and dolls #I swear this woman info dumped about dolls to this girl who was looking for 80s Barbie’s #for a good 30 minutes #I wanted to talk with her so bad I’ve never seen someone else info dump about dolls before I want to be her best friend 😭 #we’re going back there some time this week so maybe I’ll get to talk to her next time we go #if you live in Virginia this place is in VA beach!

[karliahs]

the problem with websites dying is that obviously if people are your friends you can ask them for other ways to stay in touch etc but there is a much larger category of people who i am absolutely not friends with, we have never spoken, but i love following what's happening with them, seeing them talk, occasionally nonverbally signalling approval through a like button

it's not even parasocial bc i don't want or imagine a different kind of relationship, i just like seeing them talk and hearing about their lives without any need for actual communication. and in many cases i've been passively knowing the same people for years, over a decade even, to the point where it is jarring and sad to lose and contemplate losing. that like 50 times over is tumblr for me and i hope it keeps being here

#talking #idk it's a weird thing as well to like. become attached to someone who has no relationship to you and therefore owes you nothing #also felt similarly when i was telling my mum id miss my coworkers at the job i just left #and she was like but you can keep in touch with the ones you get on with best #which. i will but theres a whole range of people who i enjoy working with/being around/passively being part of the same community alongside #but it would feel weird to like. go get coffee and hang out one on one just by choice

NaNoWriMo Day #28

[masterlist] [part one] [part two]

No prompt this time, I just really wanted to write this continuation ^⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠^

=============‹«⟨•·∆·•⟩»›=============

While the kid—Danny—took care of his business, Jason busied himself with getting the pancake batter mixed up, mind whirling with the thoughts he'd set aside the night before. Questions about how Danny had gotten to Gotham, how he'd gotten into Jason's apartment, and how the kid had done whatever it was he'd done tangled and spun around inside his head, mixing with thoughts and theories about what, exactly, had happened last night. He knew he'd probably have to tread lightly with the conversation topics at first, the kid looked like something a half dead cat dragged in and would most likely be standoffish at best. Jason knew himself, though, and with how badly he wanted answers, well... He wasn't sure how well he'd be able to handle taking the slow approach this time around. He'd just have to do his best and hope to high heaven that he didn't drive Danny away by being too pushy.

Danny made his way into the kitchen just as Jason was mixing the last of the big lumps out, causing Jason to grin. "Good timing," he said, setting the bowl down on the counter, shuffling a few steps over to turn the range on at a low heat. He bent to dig his pancake skillet out of the cupboard, he didn't make pancakes often enough to keep it readily available, though he did make sure to bring it every time he moved safe houses. A good pancake skillet was hard to come by, and he refused to dishonor Alfred's special pancake recipe by using a subpar pan if he could get away with it. "So, Danny, what do you like in your pancakes? I've got a few bananas that haven't gone bad, some walnuts, chocolate chips, one of my brothers left a jumbo container of peanut butter M&Ms last time they were over, and I've got some precooked bacon we could crisp up to crumble and throw in if that's your fancy." Jason glanced over his shoulder as he stood up with the pan in hand, pausing when he saw Danny's wide eyed expression. "What?"

"You... You can put all that stuff inside your pancakes?" Danny asked in shock. His big blue eyes seemed to shimmer with barely contained awe, his shaggy hair and oversized blue hoodie combining with the expression to make the kid seem even younger than he likely was.

Jason carefully sat the pan down on the range before turning to Danny with a raised eyebrow. That protective something was rising in his chest again, and he wasn't sure he wanted to stop it. "Kid, we can put all of that and more in our pancakes, if we want to. Who's gonna stop us?" Even with his crappy childhood, Jason had known you could add things to pancake batter before Bruce had taken him in! He'd never done it before that point, but that was excusable in his opinion. Not knowing it was possible in the first place wasn't.

=============‹«⟨•·∆·•⟩»›=============

After a filling breakfast of chocolate chip and bacon pancakes, with milk and applesauce packets so their meal was a tad bit more balanced than it otherwise would be, Jason finally decided to try getting some answers from the adorable kid who had mysteriously entered, and likely saved, his life. He just wasn't entirely sure how to start. Over breakfast, they'd asked each other some basic getting-to-know-you questions, so Jason knew Danny was ten and liked space, heroes, and the color mars red, and Danny knew Jason was twenty-one and liked books, guns, and the color burnished gold. How was he supposed to move the conversation in the direction he wanted to take it without just outright changing subjects? He must be more out of practice with social interactions than he'd thought if he was struggling this badly.

Luckily, though, it seemed Danny had no problems with getting down to business. "Alright, you said you had questions. I'm assuming most of them are about what happened last night and the rest are about me. Am I right?" He was a blunt little bugger, too.

"Pretty much," Jason said, nodding.

Danny nodded as well. "Right, well, we can do this the kinda quick and fairly messy way, or the much slower and more complete way. Which would you prefer?"

Jason raised an eyebrow at that. "I'm assuming one of those is me asking questions and you answering them?"

"Yep, and the other is me just starting from the beginning and answering any questions at the end," the kid agreed. Danny looked him dead in the eyes. "I don't have anywhere to be for at least the next few hours, but I don't know if you do, so you get to decide how we do this."

He thought about it, and the repercussions of both options. The "quick" and dirty method would theoretically get his questions answered quicker, but was liable to give him more questions and end to taking longer than either really wanted it to, while the "longer" and cleaner method would take longer to answer his questions, but would also give him most of, if not all, the context he'd need to actually understand the answers to his questions, and potentially be quicker in the long run at that. Jason nodded, decision made. "Let me tell my family I'm alright, then we'll start from the beginning, yeah? And we should probably move to the couch, it'll be more comfortable than the dinner table."

I'll probably write part four of this sooner rather than later, and I'm thinking of writing a part three for the fake cryptids au, as well. Here's hoping everything goes to plan (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

I'm too tired to be able to go through with tagging everyone who asked to be tagged in part three of this ficlet series, so I'm just going to hope this makes it to everyone who wanted to see it even without me tagging them.

I think people tend to forget that the reason Remus wasn't chosen to be the secret keeper for the Potters because Sirius didn't trust him.

At that point Peter wasn't chosen because he was the least conspicuous, but because he was the least suspicious.

All the order knew at that point was that there was a mole in their midst and Remus and Dumbledore suspected it was Sirius because he was a Black and Sirius thought it was Remus because he was a werewolf.

For both of them the rest of their kind was on Voldemort's side and the war had put them on edge.

That incident was meant to showcase the lack of trust in the Marauders during the war. It's meant to be a tragedy that in resorting to the prejudice and thus placing their trust in someone who was actually untrustworthy. You can't tell me James or Sirius were closer to Peter when they made the decision of who is to be the secret keeper.

#marauders #james potter #lily evans #sirius black #remus lupin #peter pettigrew #im done #thank you for coming to my ted talk #Also as a side note for the wolfstar fandom (which I am sadly not a part of because of it's blatant James erasure) #what I mean is even if wolfstar was a thing when they were at hogwarts #it definitely wasn't by the time James and Lily died #i promise i dont hate wolfstar #just dont forget james exists #james can still be sirius' best friend if he is gay #why is this so hard to comprehend #sirius is gay #james is still his best friend
