I decided to hold off the rest of my Apollo & Hozier post until the full album came out, but I just gotta say Apollo would inject Francesca into his bloodstream. And also it’s specifically about Apollo and Commodus. Like,

“My life was a storm, since I was born, how could I fear the hurricane?”

And Commodus is the hurricane?? Are you KIDDING me. And then,

“It was too soon, when that part of you was ripped away. A grip taking hold, like a cancer that grows, Each part of your body that it takes.”

I mean COME ON. I’ve never seen lyrics this them-core before. Also just the chorus.

“Though I know my heart would break, I’d tell them put me back in it, Darling I would do it again, if I could hold you for a minute, Darling I’d go through it again.”

Anyways Stan Hozier for clear skin.

#pls listen to Francesca it’s literally ethereal #trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #toa commodus #what is their ship name? #copollo? #apollodus? #eh idk #sunny speaks #shut up sunny #Apollo regretting what Commodus became #but never the relationship #never the man he loved #and desperately wishing he could speak to that man again #to prove his love #because maybe if he just loved Commodus a little bit more then #none of this would have happened #he’s so tortured by demons I lub him <3

In the past months every now and then I've been feeling kind of conflicted about my art and it actually just annoys me

Like, sometimes I'm happy, and even when I look back at a drawing after a while I still like it, but sometimes it's just ... I think what bothers me is that it just feels ... boring to me? It's not necessarily that I find it "bad" or "ugly" (though that can vary depending on the piece, sometimes it just doesn't want to turn out right - that happens and it's okay), it's more that I feel like ... it's missing a certain something. The spark that makes people (including myself - or actually especially myself) go "wow, that's a cool piece of art" or "the line art/lighting/colours/[insert other aspect] stands out particularly well", that I feel when I look at other people's artworks. Like, I feel that sometimes there's just nothing special or interesting or ... artful about it.

I don't think it even has to do so much with validation from others, it's more like that I'm dissatisfied with myself. It's just ... eh idk

#at least it doesn't want to make me not draw anymore because I still want to keep improving #I just have the feeling I'm not really making progress (or only progress in some areas but absolutely none in others) #I know I'll feel better about it again at some point it's always an up and down #but eh I just felt the need to rant about it #personal #vent? ish?

Do you think that -in the inevitable MK vs. his friends confrontation- Mei will accidentally seriously hurt him with the Samadhi fire? 🤔

Since strong emotions can cause it to run haywire, and there is nothing that would make her more afraid than having to fight her best friend.

There is NO way that they are completely done with the Samadhi fire. (Unless she lost it?? Subodhi did say she 'once' wielded it. So not anymore???)

But yeah- I bet it would come back into play during the MK/Mei battle. Especially if LBD mistook MK‘s destiny for her own. (Since that one vision she showed made it look like MK was burning before the world exploded. And she wanted everything he ended up having; the staff, his own powers, the Samadhi fire -indirectly, and well, a new title that implies destruction on a reality shattering scale.)

My view is that post the Embrace Your Destiny special, they resealed the Samadhi Fire (unsure if Mei still has her piece with her or if they successfully resealed it into 3 rings this time). We at the very least know she doesn't have it in s4 (MK has to save her in 4x01, she's worried about losing her sword in 4x05 which she didn't need with the Samadhi Fire in EYD, the Subodhi quote you mentioned). But, I don't think Mei using the Samadhi Fire again is completely out of the question. There are things that have come back that I never expected to be acknowledged again (The 1x01 seal being the same as the 4x01 and 4x14 flower fruit mountain seal was a huge shocker for me).

So the Samadhi Fire coming back into play with the MK/Mei battle? That would work super well! Especially with the way characters tend to reach for power and endanger their loved ones. It's a huge risk to take again, but if they feel they don't have any other choice it's something we know they're willing to resort to.

#tbh I'm expecting LBD's visions to be recontextualized at some point #as well as like #what she needed MK for and her og plan to ''undo the memories of the world'' #Now that the scroll of memory is a thang #And as far as I can tell the scroll is not a thang from jttw #meaning it's an lmk original #also meaning that MK is like. For CERTAIN tied to the scroll being an lmk original himself #Like how many scenes can we have of MK being othered from his friends before I go mad #Like in 3x09 when he doesn't recognize the place where they sealed the rings but everyone else does #Or in 4x02 where the scroll of memory has everyone except MK on there (including LBD and SQ for some reason) #Or at the end of 4x14 where they're like ''this is what real heroes look like'' and MK isn't there #''I wonder when we'll meet my ancestor'' and then we don't meet his ancestor but we meet everyone else's #Come on lmk bring it full circle do it for me #''A simple creature—with no past no family and no name.'' inch resting #a being with no memories and no memories of them eh #I swear it's connected #Which is funny because I had accepted that they had just retconned the erasing memory bit #But now I'm thinking it's cause MK was needed for that part #''You're right MK. Without you none of this would have been possible—a delivery boy to the end'' or. or a harbinger perhaps #Hmm I went a little off the rails in the tags but when don't I #lmk #lego monkie kida #asks #hero mei warrior mk

Mom over there wondering why queer people love monsters so much, and wouldn't it just be easier if we were a normal kind of weird

Meanwhile at 16 I was told to my face by my religous leaders that my very existence was a corrupting agent in my friends' lives and it would be better for them, safer for them, if we stopped being friends.

#if i'm going to hell don't drag the people i love with me #if i really loved them i wouldn't ruin their chances at heaven by being their friend #exmo stuff #gee i wonder why i like vampires specifically #i'm sure i have no idea #ignore this #i just needed to vent #certain movies (not saying which bc i don't want this to appear in searches for it) kind of dredged up some memories #a lot of things recently have been making me think about that time in my life #god it makes me so angry #and none of the people who were involved think they did the wrong thing #i hope all their children are queer and rebellious i hope they have to learn the hard way that what they did was wrong because they #sure as hell refused to learn the easy way #eh one of them kind of got his comeuppance when his wife divorced him #she was an angel and deserved better than him anyway

You know, the other day when I was heading to the DMV about 15 minutes in to the drive (and it's a long drive and we wouldn't have a spare half hour) my heart sinks because I realized I forgot my glasses

Like, I was feeling physically ill, actually just super nauseous for like 10 minutes after I was hit with this realization, just physically awful

Except... I didn't

See, I knew I might forget my glasses, so a couple days before I took my glasses case out and set it on my wallet, so I reflexively picked it up, and after realizing there wasn't room in my wallet/phone pocket I put it in my key pocket

Which is why I work to be like a spider and store as much of my brain outside my head as possible

Take the knowledge I need to remember my glasses and store it in the form of the glasses in the spot where I always pick stuff up, because I know that I'm not gonna manage to remember that in my head. Very important to store bits of your mind in physical locations

But yeah, in spite of realizing that after like 10 seconds I was still feeling like I was gonna puke for like 10 minutes. Must have gotten just a huge shot of adrenaline or something

#do you know why adrenal glands are called that? It's because they sit on top of your kidneys #and your kidneys eh... my medical terminology is like 10 years old and unused; but I know stuff related to kidneys is called renal #I just can't remember their actual name; but I'm like 99% certain that the info about adrenal I'm feeding you is true #(don't feel like looking it up though; to be honest) #pretty sure hepatitis is inflammation of the liver; itis is inflammation it's the liver bit I'm fuzzy but pretty sure on #nocturia is having to piss in the night (well; think it may specifically be if you have to wake up to do it) #...are kidney stones renoliths? pretty sure lith is stone related; and I'm just guessing based of renal being kidney stuff #none of this is particularly interesting or impressive; it's literally just community college medical terminology #and of course gingivitis is inflammation of the gums #not sure I can dredge up any more stuff off the top of my head

love procrastinating going to bed and then suddenly thinking about how I need to give at least one of my characters VERY strong opinions on different animal species RIGHT FUCKING NOW

#Local Spider Yells At Clouds #like??? characters having strong opinions about things that mean jack shit is just really fun to me #I'm gonna try to think of some animals each character would like and dislike real quick off the top of my head #first thought: Gamma is probably both fascinated and deeply terrified by deep sea fish #like!! he thinks the fish themselves are pretty neat!! (it helps that Alice makes freakier looking things on a regular basis) #but everything about WHERE THEY LIVE freaks him the fuck out #man is hydrophobic already!! learning about water pressure and what it could do to a person might make him pass out #very next thought: Lydia probably likes frogs. I feel like they're not her FAVOURITE animal tho. top 5 definitely #very strange that I'm saying that while also having no idea what her ACTUAL favourite animal would be but eh. that's how it goes sometimes. #she probably likes tree frogs the best because those are peak Silly Little Guys #none of these are STRONG opinions tho!!!! I want a character who's either ride or die for a very specific animal #or a character who looks at this particular animal and goes ''I want this bitch GONE FROM EARTH'' #...actually I just realized. I gave NONE of the Realm kiddos animal-loving as a core trait #HOW did I do that???? I MADE THESE FUCKERS WHEN I WAS STILL A KID AND WAS WAITING TO BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER AT THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER!! #TWO OF THESE BITCHES STARTED AS STRAIGHT-UP SELF INSERTS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE ''LIKES CREATURES'' AS A MAIN CHARACTER TRAIT????? #the easy answer would be to say Lydia or Dylan but. that's the easy answer. #oh yeah make the super-friendly character care about animals a lot. real original there me #...aw it'd be sad if it was Cynthia #because. no memories. any pets she had back on Earth are long forgotten by now. #and because of her role in the camp she'd probably never let herself get a pet either... never rediscovering her love for animals at all #this started with a dumb one-off thought about how I need to give my characters more stupid hills to die on #and ended with me remembering just how damn depressing Cynthia's memory wipe really is as a plot point lmao #it's just like. remembering that she used to have a LIFE before all of this!! #she had passions and joys and all of it got THROWN IN THE TOILET due to circumstances beyond her control!!! #and because of a choice she made herself she has no idea there was ever something else her life could have been!!! #...then again. maybe that was the point. #anyways!!!!!!!! sorry for the blog being dead for a bit lol #getting back into writing now so I'll probably get the queue running again shortly!!

Kinda blows my mind sometimes when people don’t understand that there really is no wrong way to analyse media.

Everyone looks at things differently, and any personal interpretations are heavily influenced by the self, and one’s own life experiences that have shaped them.

No two people deal with problems the same way. Although a basic understanding of what the author was trying to convey is important, in media of an ambiguous nature it is up for interpretation because such is the nature of ambiguity.

Of course, reading comprehension and background knowledge is very important in literary analyses, which is why media analyses are grouped into distinct sections, that is; a completely neutral perspective, in which one draws the analysis around the stencils of societal values, which may not always be morally correct, but is completely detached from humanity, I.e., existing solely as a concept which is to be applied, much like concepts of mathematics.

And then there’s the reader’s own interpretation which is heavily biased and influenced by personal experiences. Whence one draws parallels with one’s life, and other forms of media consumed, concepts of personal favour, etc.

in this section of literary analysis, there is no wrong interpretation as it draws from personal interests. This is also, the kind of analysis we see most on the internet, or just discussing media with people in real life. It’s tainted heavily with personal biases, which are sometimes believed to be factual by people, sometimes almost to the point of genuine hatred of others that do not agree with them.

Thus we see the phenomena of name-calling and other things. The belief that one’s personal interpretation is the only correct one, and the rest of them are all wrong.

Sometimes the inability to acknowledge the fact that everyone is different, and will thus have different interpretations of media, leads to immense psychological distress, which can simply be avoided by not engaging in debates in an uncivil manner.

That’s why I don’t try to change people’s minds about my favourite pieces of media, my interpretation is my own, and though it might overlap and share many of its points with others, they relate to me in a different way. The nature of humanity is such that each experience is so alarmingly universal yet so painfully unique.

#bah idk lol it’s just. I’ve been thinking about this #whenever I see people being like ‘this interpretation is clearly WRONG you are WRONG’ like your opinion will obviously seem right to you #but I guess picking up fights with others you barely know is an intrinsic part of human nature #just because someone said something about something because let’s face it none of our opinions are our own #and never have been. we got them from people who got them from people who got it from people who- you get the point #but I just don’t get how people have the energy to argue with others like you know that the other person is just as insistent on their #belief as you are in yours. it’s an unstoppable force meets immovable object situation #sure you can engage in discussions you should most of all be willing to learn. most importantly learn to see things from other people’s #perspective and you’ll realise that the world isn’t black&white its always gray and nothing is completely good or completely bad. of course #there are things that exist on the extreme ends of the spectrum but most of everything is in the gray area. and you can’t change someone’s #core beliefs no matter what if you’re standoffish it’s just a matter of intellectual exchange the willingness to learn etc I’m rambling now #idk if this makes sense. eh. whatever. #text #media analysis #literary analysis #whatever whatever #I Wonder if anyone will read this

Happy Halloween! I ended up going quite simple with my costume this year, mostly because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do (the weather has been up and down all month) -- and while trying to decide if I wanted to reuse an old costume of an explorer with shorts, I noticed this Doc Brown shirt that I got a few Christmas/birthdays ago that I hadn’t really gotten a chance to wear and thought, “Huh -- maybe I could do something with that?” That something ended up being a BTTF: The Ride employee costume, as they also wore that same kind of shirt when The Ride was in operation! (Also I didn’t have a Doc wig handy and didn’t want to deal with piling my rather long hair underneath it.)

So yeah, kind of a “closet cosplay” this one -- the pants are a pair of my work pants, and I have my white “fang-tastic” t-shirt on underneath the Doc shirt. The ID badge is something Mom and I found online (picture from an eBay auction of a fake Institute of Future Technology employee badge) and printed out -- Mom colored in the logo and did the stripey background to add a bit of color as our printer only does black-and-white. Oh, and the purple shades are ones I got ages ago, and that I felt were kind of BTTF-y in looks. :) A simple costume, but a fun one -- I quite enjoyed finally getting to wear that shirt for a day! :D

#happy halloween #costumes #Back to the Future #bttf the ride #and yes I wore a mask while actually handing out candy #I try to be careful about that #but yeah simple Ride Employee costume this year #you know it feels appropriate #if only because The Ride is how I got INTO BTTF in the first place #it still makes me sad I'll never be able to go on it again :( #I loved that silly ride #and I'm glad I was able to bring back the nostalgia for a bit #even if none of the people coming to our door had any clue what I was XD #oh and the weather ended up being pretty warm #so I probably would have been okay with shorts #but eh #maybe next year!

#“but sage you never post art here” that’s cause it never gets attention #I have a fandom blog and it’s grown EXPONENTIALLY compared to this one and that’s because it’s. well. a fandom blog #none of my original shit gets more that 2 likes and maybe a reblog so I stopped posting it #anyways #enough ranting I love it when that happens like yes that IS your blorbo! that’s your specialest little guy! just for you <3 #fandom #idk what to tag this as #was gonna post this on said sideblog but eh #I posted art of a character and someone whose url was [character’s name]mybeloved reblogged and I was like yes.

[soarrenbluejay]

Since I’ve been encouraged to actually share my funny little blorbo ideas here’s another one gang;

Danny moves to Gotham on scholarship for engineering, because the Fentons may be infamous but they’re also insanely brilliant and besides both he and Jazz are showing every sign of embarrassed child of a super genius syndrome, so while the bats are keeping a close eye on him Just In Case, duke is also thinking of introducing him to the Our Parents Are Maniacs But Anyway club maybe after the first month or so.

Gotham does not go for standard dorm living bc of his ‘condition’ and lack of wanting to constantly spook/gaslight a roommate. Besides, living with two small children is a dorm sounds like a disaster in action.

So Danny signs up as a mechanic in Crime Alley, buys himself a teeny weensy lil apartment and Makes It Work. He has been all year after showing up with a de aged Dani and Dan in Amnity after all, and that had gone,,, fine? (The entire town, observing how Danny had been getting increasingly more uncomfortable around his godfather prior to the cloning incident, then just dropped off the face of the earth for several months, the first two weeks stuck in Vlad’s basement enduring horrors and the next Too Many desperately fapping around in the Ghost Zone to get everything handled. All the clones live, all 13 of them. Bunch of them are stuck in the Ghost Zone due to constant need for ectoplasm, but eh, plenty of Zone born never leave, so. One, in the future, apprentices under a green warrior lady on Pandora’s suggestion, another is working in the Eternal Library with Ghost Writer, etc etc. so Danny eventually came back to Amnity with one small child under each arm very obviously traumatized by Somethingn with vlad and doesn’t like being alone with him,,, or touched without warning,, and immediately and passionately proclaims the kids his but struggles to explain how or why,, look some very reasonable assumptions are drawn okay. So the town does the very reasonable thing and does the midwestern equivilant of excommunicating Vlad, except it’s a lot more run him out with pitchforks vibes since he’s the Mayor. Anyway)

He is immediately loved, because while non Gothamites are usually more of a pain than they’re worth, everyone in a while someone even from out of town will just fit in so nicely it’s uncanny for everyone involved. Addams family vibes, it’s referred to as ‘making it home’, just personal hc. He is protective of all the kids playing in the parks and street girls that can totally take care of themselves on their corners but find it HILARIOUS when he just tackles a dick like a wild animal full force no warning. He can fix anything it seems, but refuses to work with weapons. Reasonable enough, people get twitchy about gangs sometimes. Danny mentions being not against Hood or anything, but he’s not going to work for him, littles to take care of and all, but had past experience with ‘Dora and that inheritance mess with her brother he was being a real prick about’ so everyone assumes it’s the equivilant of him having Done His Time and being plenty good for a life time and respects it as long as none of that petty midwestern small town hotshots bring any of that shit over here. And they don’t, because said individuals are on the other side of the mortal veil, so happy day.

See I really love deaged!Dan because he’s just a grumpy lil guy. But he’s also killed millions. He’s so protective of his loved ones, but held back by blending in and also being Smol that it comes off more bitey kitten than anything else. Dani, of course, is a terror, so she fits right in with the crowd.

And sorry gang, but a bunch of kids on their own in Gotham in a poor side of the city just isn’t going to get any attention: that’s just business as usual really. What first gets attention on Danny is not his ‘condition’ or being mistaken for a meta (which he legally probs has an argument for even without the gene bc like these bitches don’t know how metaism works anyway so) or alien (I’m 90% sure he’d be covered by the alien protection act by virtue of being half ‘not from earth’), but because Danny despite best efforts is a Weird Guy.

He grew up in what could only be described as a low level villain level and spent most of high school dealing with smack downs and spiritual invasion. He’s never really processed that any of that is not in fact Normal. Also, he’s capable of making Anything if given the insides of a toaster, blender and alarm clock, and could probably rewrite the circuits of the apartment blindfolded and improve them 1000% even if it ABSOLUTELY would not be up to code.

And sure, things slip every once in a while, bits of spectral ice here, small floating incident there, but everyone just Minds Their Buisness ya know? You really gunna mess with the guy that personally ensured that when your car got flattened by a fight with Killer Croc, you were still able to get in to work the next day by some wizardry? Really?

But Gotham is a city so cursed it’s probably in the exponents countwise, so of course there is a) a flourishing community of magic users and assorted supernatural weirdos and b) a whole lot of shit for Mega Overpowered Ghost King Danny to idly pick at day to day in order to help with his protecting other Obsession. Gotham has plenty of heroes, but by god do they need the spiritual equivilant of an electrician/priest.

Still, Danny, as a baby ancient under a facet of Kronos and KING OF THE DEAD is like, way, way out of their scope to be able to grok, so it mostly just comes off as you know, a family of banshees or something. When asked, Danny very haltingly says he was briefly dead but then revived, which neatly explains his Weird Ass aura and makes it SPECTACULARLY AWKWARD to ask further about. So everyone nods politely, and goes back to their lives after double checking no nefarious bullshit was being pulled.

Then, of course, Vlad finally tracks them down. The whole neighborhood is altered in short order because he doesn’t bother trying to hide being a Rich Bitch or how he’s sneering down his nose at people on the sidewalk. Every connects the dots when Danny paniks. Dani and Dan’s daycare are staffed with some extra, very buff set of hands within the hour. Jerry, Hood’s third in command, personally shows up to the garage Danny is working at to talk things out with him bc he knows he does t like the deal with this stuff due to past unspecified circumstances but well, they guys had already started fucking with him, you see. Stole his tires, spray painted the windows, pickpocketed him blind, and when he retreated tipped off the police to the drugs they’d planted in the glove box.

Danny might not have been born in Gotham, but he was one of them. And the Alley takes care of it own.
