I think g3 movie 2 made Toralei my fave maybe because it shows her mental health issues a bit and also g3 show started showing how her behaviour was linked to issues as well and I relate to that a lot as someone w personality disorders

#also idk but maybe the actress salena qureshi being part desi in the live action was like !! #bc even if shes a villain sort of (Im wary of media like Venom making the desi character the villain) #and Im south asian so #I hardly see characters in western media be south asian !!!! #and dont fucking point me to the shows made by mindy kaling just bc desi bc I said that #shes literally sexually harassed costars and actors working under her and #never took accountability for it and laughed it off in interviews #(she made that velma show too) #anyways. idk #derailed my post a bit in the tags I guess but yeah #its also funny that w Catra a similar character it was fucking painful to watch what happened onscreen #lets be honest canon fucked her over so bad #especially in early seasons. only her ending is peaceful #I dont even ship catradora I dont exactly ship catra or adora w anyone tbh #maybe w therapy lol #but this time its like. thats my cluster b headcanon blorbo hello #before you ask just bc I relate to toralei Im not a bully or someone who fearmongers about minorities. #I just relate to doing shit for attempting to get attention from peers and being guarded bc of trauma #and some of the ways I acted around ppl when I was younger and less able to control my emotions or attempt to understand my disorders

srry going back to the genderbend thing, my move always seems to be "i consider this character like every gender at once" so i just draw them more masc sometimes and more fem sometimes. its not a bend or a swap it is a teasing tilt

#like i was thinking about ctommy and cleminnit and stuff #like i would post ''cleminnit'' drawings sometimes. but i literally didnt give her any traits i wouldnt already draw tommy with #like long hair and more feminine clothing those were things i regularly drew tommy with just normally #rlly the only difference was i'd maybe give her a lil eyelash 😭 and i'd CALL her clem. but that was it #i still had her have a big nose and butt chin and arm hair like usual #THATS one of the weirdest things is when ppl doing genderbends or whatever change PHYSICAL ASPECTS of the character's body #and like making their facial features more soft. eugh #ESPECIALLY if ur trying to pass it off as a transfem hc. THEIR FACE ISNT GOING TO MAGICALLY CHANGE LIKE THAT?? #anyways. idk #serena.txt

i think it’s kinda telling that almost every time i’ve engaged with textually queer media that got popular enough to break into mainstream discussion i’ve immediately logged into this website and watched it get dismissed as disingenuous or insincere by people who have been blogging about the same homophobic shows since 2010. like. It Keeps Happening.

#like i’m not counting novels and films that flew mostly under the radar because. well. frankly not enough people watched them to form Takes #but i can think of three situations where this happened just off the top of my head #and TO BE CLEAR i see these opinions because i’ve also been blogging about the same shows since 2010 lmao #there’s like. some kind of willingness to engage with work that is openly problematic #but not work that is problematic but clearly making some kind of effort #it’s like the moment you start actually TRYING something the sharks smell blood #i think it’s like how unfortunately the soundest strategy for dealing with any kind of scandal is to deny deny deny until it goes away #people do not actually want to hear apologies or self reflection. it makes them uncomfortable #anyways. idk #it’s just an observation and maybe my viewpoint is skewed bc of who i pay attention to #maybe i’m telling on myself for just having plain and simple bad taste

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

#idk what to tag this #worldbuilding #writing fiction #historical fiction #fantasy #a real-life example: my dad (a pediatrician) was once entrusted with the care of a baby who was born with a rare condition #this was in a place without great hospital/medical access and anyway they were going to fly the baby over #and he specifically asked them to bring the mother and baby #they show up with baby and...the baby's uncle #and he was like. y'all. do you think I asked for the mom to come just for fun??? We don't have formula here. what is the baby going to eat?

the only two really significant anime moments that i truly feel changed me as a person were robin's "i want to live!" moment in water 7 and when bang tells genos "when ur back is to the wall, its ok to muddle through!". robin finally finally realizing she has people who care about her and who want her and are willing and strong enough to fight for her, and then her acceptance of this just means so much to me. she, having spent so long thinking of herself as this worthless, useless thing, finally decides she will demand life anyways. she wants to live. and now that the strawhats know this, they'll fight like hell to make sure she can. and then with bang's muddle thru statement. he says that to genos after genos overthinks trying to explode a huge meteor hurtling towards earth that will destroy the planet or smthn. which i think is like. idk it was so strange to me! bang probably wouldve died had saitama not punched the meteor. but bang just sort of calmly accepts that sometimes outcomes are inevitable and all u can do is get thru it. and that sort of grit ur teeth and muddle thru attitude like really stuck w me

#canis speaks #idk like ive watched a lot of cool and significant anime but those two lines always stuck w me #bangs esp bc its like such a throwaway #robins line is such a poignant arc and one piece has had a significqnt impact on my life (basically why i am where i am now lmao) #i should rewatch some of one piece.... #anyways. idk

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

#now granted he did die of a drug overdose but you know. one can take the good lessons #anyway. point being i understand being deeply frustrated with the state of the tv and film. #but also we can admit that for every gem canceled there's like three real duds too #idk if you want something that's guaranteed to have a bunch of seasons and you know the ending for go watch shows from the 70s #the number of adults on this site who lack the emotional wherewithal to watch an ongoing narrative is. yikes. #queue

sorry, I took all your boyfriend's memories and threw him into the wilderness near a child military camp. yeah he remembers you, but only vaguely, and he's going on a dangerous quest with two people he just met even though you told him in a dream vision to stay where he was so you could find him. also the camp wants to keep him forever and make him their new praetor. sorry.

[keets-writing-corner]

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

#hazbin spoilers #hazbin hotel #lucifer #lucifer morningstar #analysis #dissociation #look idk what to tell you all #I watched the episode and everything makes so much more sense #when you realize he's only intaking like 50-60% of the conversations #he's not bad at listening his brain is literally preventing him from getting everything #literally I've been there #the difference between him and me tho #is that he can't show it #he's the king of hell #he has to bluff his way through conversations #but yeah literally rewatch the episode with this in mind #and watch him reply to the things he DID catch #anyways #NEW BLORBO???? #who'd've thought I would go into Hazbin Hotel #and come out with freaking LUCIFER as my favorite character #I love him #he's so sad
