Grabs you by the shoulders. Drummer!Stephanie Brown. You Agree

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephanie brown #batgirls #she canonically plays piano and the skills u need for piano are seen as transferrable to drums #girl drummers are cool as fuck categorically and also i feel like it'd be a good outlet for stephs aggression #like she still plays piano on a shitty yamaha keyboard she got secondhand and dragged back to her and cass' apartment #but for like. her birthday or a holiday tim/cass/babs/whoever got her an electric drumpad after she expressed interest in learning #@dc please. please let my girl play music again. she deserves it she only stopped piano bc of ptsd SHE'S HAD TIME TO HEAL LET HER PLAY #let her join black canary's band as payoff for their mentor/mentee relationship getting cut short in the 90s/2000s /j

That's a neat serennedy analysis post but the comment ab the scene being the most humanity shown in all of resident evil is so incorrect and just more proof that no one in this fandom pays attention to female characters or just any character who isn't Leon

#Like yeah it's super intimate and romantic and perhaps the most romantic scene in the whole series #Which you could've said INSTEAD #But the most humanity shown??? Have you SEEN any single other game???? #What about Claire Redfield in Re2r repeatedly helping Annette despite her work bc it's the right thing to do #Sacrificing HER principles bc in the moment Annette isn't an umbrella scientist she's a mother and a fighter #What about Claire Redfield in DI saving that doctor despite his initial hostility and his actions helping Dylan because she's so caring #What about Jill Valentine fighting tooth and nail in re3r to save every single person despite her trauma-induced dissociation and apathy #What about Ethan Winters defying death to reach out to his daughter in her youth to make sure she knows how loved and amazing she is #What about Chris Redfield drinking himself to death over all the people he couldn't save but still dedicated to save more people every time #What about Sheva Alomar helping a broken man save his best friend despite the importance of focusing on wesker bc she cares and gets it #What about every other beautiful moment in every game where a character took the time to care about someone else #Who maybe didn't deserve it from them #But they gave it anyway because it's what they do #serennedy #resident evil

When I first watched Merlin, I was entirely convinced that Gwen would find out about Merlin's magic.

Throughout basically all of season 1 and even into season 2, I was just waiting for the moment when Gwen would inevitably either found out by accident, or Merlin would tell her. It genuinely shocked and disappointed me to realize that the show wasn't going in that direction.

Like, obviously I knew that the issue of Arthur himself finding out would be a much bigger point of contention (although i still think it shouldve happened way sooner but I digress). But like... it just seemed so obvious to me that thats what should happen, right? Merlin has two guiding figures who know about his magic and provide him with advice. Hes got that fucking lizard, who is this ancient being with all this knowledge about destinies and magic and shit. Then ofc Gaius, who acts as more of a parental figure, warning Merlin to be cautious and helping him out from time to time. But it seems so clear to me that something is missing from this picture.... that being SOMEONE MERLIN IS ON EQUAL STANDING WITH!

Like hes got the older, more wise guidance figures. But what about a friend?! What about someone who can validate his fresher, more naive perspective while also providing a unique perspective of their own?! Am I going crazy here?!!!! Istg it boggles my mind that they didnt give him SOMEONE to talk to other than those two old ass crusty ass men 😭 and it so clearly felt like it should be Gwen too. She was immediately set up as a compassionate figure and I found it hard to believe she would ever turn merlin in if she found out, and in their season one era they were the besties of all time. I miss it so bad.

God and then they finally gave him a friend who knew about his magic in Lancelot. But then THEY FUCKING GOT RID OF HIM?? EXILED HIS ASS???? LANCELOT WAS SERIOUSLY IN LIKE 4 EPISODES TOTAL AND IN ONE OF THEM IT WASNT EVEN REALLY HIM. FFS. Bbc writers you will get whats coming to you i swear it.

#rant #merlin rant #im just angry as always #like its not unpopular to say lancelot shouldve been in it more #especially with how cute his dynamic is with merlin #and getting to see merlin actually show off a little and be playful with his magic #it was beautiful. ive seen this said before #but seriously in the 1st season it really did feel like they were setting up gwen to be #that friend thats in the know? the one he can turn to??? #i cant be the only one who sees this. plus it wouldve given gwen more of a role #bc we all know they didnt know ehat to do with her and she suffered for it fr #gwen my beloved you deserved so much better #bbc merlin #merlin #bbc guinevere

i think its always worth thinking about how women are portrayed in certain stories, from fictional narratives to reddit posts presenting themselves as true stories. is every woman in the narrative either antagonistic or shallow? are most or all of the men portrayed as sympathetic and competent, moreso than the women, even if they commit the same crimes?

#i read reddit stories bc i love rotting my brain apparently and this is SO constant in those #one literally ended like ''i have concluded that i cant trust women bc theyre all lying cunts unlike the men who helped me here'' #and the comments were like ''wow.... makes you think....'' #like wc is a good litmus test. why are only the women in crookedstar's story held accountable while the men in power are shrugged off #why do all of the women get twisted into shrill harpies for nightheart's arc while all the men who commit the same pressure on him #get idealized and held up as fantastic and awesome and sympathetic #why is the man in this story calm and collected while being horrible while the woman is hysterical and emotional and loud #how come the fat woman in hh is seen as annoying and terrible and a danger to their cause bc ''she brought danger to them'' #while the snake guy outright attacks the place twice and tries to hurt them but is an uwu cinnamon roll who deserves a chance #echoed voice #like... an antagonistic woman isnt a bad thing. women can be horrible irl. absolutely but its important to try and see when this is a patte #pattern #when theres just straight up a double standard

I Shall Master this Family! is a rare princess story where the art is like, outrageously skilled, unique in its consistent level of detail, unreal historical fashion dedication, so much so that it successfully carries what's an overall mid story. You might notice that it's a mid story (I certainly have) but they throw you another sumptuous princess Guinevere sleeves and you're goaded into another chapter.

Normally this isn't enough. If anything I've found too good art highlights bad writing, thoughts wandering to how the artist(s) deserves better than the slog they're supporting.

But I'm stuck with this annoying isekai girl ignoring all the more emotionally intriguing subplots in favor of chapter upon chapter of isekai-based ego-stroking (can you believe this little kid came up with this brilliant business plan? Can you believe a 9yo identified the genius of a commoner? It's like she knows everything before it happens! Lay it on thicker!) because a) artist team that can conceptualize adults over 30??? b) artist team that draws old women??? Real ones???

b2) men too though it's more impressive that they drew a beard like they've actually seen a beard before. Old guys are common but distinguished and healthy looking ones less so

c) you can tell this is based on a historical fashion because nobody invents cultural male-garb unless they're meant to be eroticized. I can't think of another story where any real attention was put into what the guys are wearing unless cleavage was involved

I don't know if I even care for the fashion itself - that there's conspicuous effort into its portrayal puts it in a class of its own. Everyone else is satisfied with the certified male love interest paizuri shirts, cravats with medievallish suits, and generic npc peasantwear.

d) I don't know how many times I've given up on a comic because the artist had a fetish for blondes, making it nigh impossible to tell anyone apart. This story takes place in a Scots-inspired land, so a sizable chunk of the cast are redheads and the endless shades of red and curl textures never gets old. I like that blondes are still sort of gingery and shout out to the colorist for not being weak, blue-eyed apologist.

It came far too late but I finally understood why Shananet fell for this loser's act when he whipped out the brown/blonde puppy combo. Wish the writers were capable of juggling plots so we could have seen more of it.

I'll have to get into it in another post but the writing flaws are grating in a skill issue way, maybe too much ambition that should have been scaled back. For example writing men as being generally less substantial, more hysterical, while making women intelligent, well-rounded, characters with depth of various alliances only works if your story focuses on the latter. If you give me cold, calculating ice queen, I won't be satisfied with the plot spending more time on the dumbass loser 30-something eldest son throwing tantrums when his stupid plans fail. Likewise, how do you think it feels learning that the cool-headed, clever woman who gave up on potentially taking over the clan for a worldwind romance was played for a simp by her (quite obviously) less intelligent husband who doesn't even hide his seething hate for her family well? It makes everyone look like a clown. Writing structure crit imminent

It's a shame but unfortunately I like the way it looks too much to drop it😔

#i shall master this family #otome isekai #realized I lust for historical sleeves bc of this one ngl. that should be me wearing that. not her. #i should really write my thoughts down before i forget further because they did Shananet dirty #'she was always emotional weak minded and cared more about harmony than herself' WHEN. WHEN WAS THAT EVER ESTABLISHED. #they should have replaced like 20 chapters of mc worship with giving that shananet the setup she deserved #instead it's just 'yeah he was really manipulative. just take my word for it. gaslighting even. boy you should have seen it' #yeah i would have liked to

really fucking disgusted by how easily some people will put their morals and empathy aside to “defend their fave”

#anyone who knows me knows i'll hardly ever speak out about anything 1D fandom related on main bc i really couldn't care less about most shit #but this is just BEYOND like #when your reaction to a young woman talking about how she was forced to get an abortion (and had to go by herself) #is ‘oh she’s trying to ruin his career! he’s done nothing to deserve this!’ you’re absolutely rotten to the core #and i’ve seen SEVERAL people worried about his ‘reputation’ #y’all are sick for real

[lewmagoo]

my coworker asked me if i was doing okay and i burst into tears so that’s how things are going rn lol 🥲

#and my other coworker was like ‘i just want you to know that you’re so good at what you do and i’m sorry you’re getting used #you deserve a job where they will appreciate your talents’ #and i was fighting tears bc she’s the first person that’s made me feel seen here #i am so exhausted #and emotional

[claudiasjustice]

Taking Miss Lily away from fandom until y’all learn how to treat black women like people

#i’ve seen so many justifications for her death these last few days and it’s starting to piss me off #i’ve seen people describe her as treacherous and say she was plotting something (which i still don’t get. what was her big plan?) #and now people are saying louis didn’t care about her at all #are we just uncomfortable that lestat murdered an innocent woman? #can we still not handle the knowledge that lestat is terrible?? #lily did NOTHING wrong #she was killed bc lestat was bored with her and likely jealous of the closeness she had with louis #she’s a victim. more of a victim than antoinette who we seem to have a grand amount of sympathy for 🤔 #lily was shown to be supportive and playful and that’s what gets her killed #and yet somehow she’s the villain #somehow she was treacherous and svheming and deserved her death #fucking hate it here

The reactions to this flip and shot taken to dismantle the power structure that’s been controlling the house since week one draws the line between who watches the feeds, reads updates, & watches the episodes and who reads updates & watches the episodes bc these are very different groups of people and it’s interesting asf how split everyone is

#this is the most divided i’ve seen the tag ever LMAOO #everyone is on a different side and its nice to read the varied perspectives #i just wish the cirie side of this situation were more open to admitting why this move is needed and that the game shouldn’t just be handed #to cirie y’know #cirie is still a pick of mine to win #as messy as she is #she’s still playing an engaging game and deserves to go far #but she’s gotta struggle the same way everyone else does #its the game😭 #we’ve complained every other year about steamrolls and one alliance dominating the house bc its boring gameplay wise #just bc we like cirie and izzy that doesnt mean this statement doesn’t apply #i mean cirie and izzy are entertaining asf but this is a season where EVERYONE is playing #and i can’t complain about it lol #bb25

the dichotomy in TXF s8/9 of Scully being more lonely than ever without Mulder but at the same time being more surrounded by people who care about her than we have EVER seen in the series before

#skinner the gunmen doggett monica her mom #even layla harrison who thinks the world of her and would bumblingly do anything for her #s8/9 takes away mulder the most important person but it also gives scully community in a way we've never seen before #she has her parents and one(1) friend in s1 she has maggie and melissa in s2 she has maggie and bill in s4/5 #but in the later seasons we're shown JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE love her (and mulder) and care about her #it makes me want to cry a little bit. she is so lonely but she's not alone. #Lu rambles #txf #the x files #dana scully #txf s8 #txf s9 #meta finding tag #i feel like krycek deserves an honorable mention bc he actually protects her for a hot second and then says ''drive safely'' #which has always felt somehow wildly in character yet also inexplicable to me. weird amounts of respect in his last minutes

what kind of cratures do you think the trigun gang would be?

CREATURES IN GENERAL OR SEA CREATURES. BECAUSE MY FRIEND MONTY N I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRIGUN FURSONAS THE OTHER DAY. but i am the sea creature guy at heart so im gonns give u those i hope that is ok 😌 there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.

Vash: he is... so very shark coded to me. everyone looks at him and sees a dangerous killing machine. frequently covered in scars. do u see the connection here. he is specifically a thresher shark to me because of the whole sharpshooter thing and also the sad sad puppydog eyes 💙

Wolfwood: i am torn between two different types of eels for him. giant morays are more aesthetically pleasing but personally i have to go with a wolf eel both for the name and because ive worked with these guys before and theyre sooooo cool so im biased

Meryl: not technically a sea creature because she is just so bird coded to me. White-Tailed Tropicbird

Milly: is it cheating to have two cephalopods on this list. because i think i really want to say giant pacific octopus for milly. either that or a whale shark 💙 yes those are two completely different animals no i will not be taking criticism at this time

bonus Knives because i love him and i feel the most strongly about this one:

BOBTAIL SQUID.

... and also a bristle worm . for what i hope are obvious reasons

#NORMALLY THOUGH meryl is an egyptian plover #shes sooooo so very much an egyptian plover. hold on i made a post about that the other day ill reblog it again for u :] hehe #i worked at an aquarium last year and every time we would pull a bristleworm out of one of our tanks id be like ohhh my god its knives..... #i love every opportunity to push my sea creature knives agenda. hes so sea creature to me. hes so marine biologist to me. #OH MY GOD ALSO LIVIO. LIVIO IS A GOLIATH GROUPER TO ME . <3 #side note also . have you ever seen that picture of a hermit crab using a human skull as a shell #(<< the image is fake its photoshopped BUT) #thats legato. to me. except with a blueleg hermit crab. he is a blue leg hermit crab with a human skull for a shell #which is bullshit because i dont think legato deserves something that cool but alas it is unfortunately perfect for him #(<< this is /j i think legato is a cool and interesting character #i just think he has a punchable face and like 2 pretend i hate his guts cause its funny) #HI !!!! THANK U FOR GIVI G ME AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABT SEA CREATURES ILY <3333 #asks #madnessmadness #sorry if u meant like... actual land creatures. unfortunately i am the fish guy forever <3 #YES I REALIZE VASH AND KNIVES ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT CREATURES AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE BC THEYRE TWINS #BUT LIKE. I FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT BOTH OF THOSE THINGS #i could be persuaded to make knives a shark if needed bc there are so many cool shark species i could assign to him #but like. hes just soooo bobtail squid coded to me ive been saying that since i first saw his fuckin. snuggie in tristamp
