alright, question for the esteemed jury (though I imagine this will be a uniquely american, if not perhaps also canadian, experience):
are you familiar with the children's game that involves slapping hands around a circle while singing a song that begins "down by the banks of the hanky panky"
and if you are, how did the rest of the song go for you

I saw someone request on here (maybe Twitter?) that they wanted a gif of Donnie bobbing his head to the music in The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle, and you know what, I do too.
I don't know if that person ever got their gif, but since it turns out I love making gifs, I said "screw it" and did it myself anyway. So here you go - have some groovy Donnie:
Bonus:
Here, have a couple more looping ones too:

"Cassandra Cain's role in the Birds of Prey movie fits Stephanie Brown/Harper Row/Charlie Gage-Radcliffe/etc better" y'all are throwing names of random teenage girls at a dart board and hoping one of them will stick. No one fits the the role Cass occupied in that movie. She should have been an OC.

Hungarifying Klunko.
I will probably stick to the middle design, that was the original concept as well. A traditional mantle has a really boxy shape so if i were to use that it would fuck with the triangle silhouette +other reasons
Some inspo under the cut since im not doing the source material justice

October 2023 - Gingers! (Jay Walker, 'Ninjago')
Track: 'The Lightning Strike (What If This Storm Ends?)' - Snow Patrol
(Spotify / YouTube)
If there was still any wonder where my username comes from, this should give a bit of a hint. I still very much love Ninjago and this fool specifically (more so the older seasons, pre pirate arc), though all of them hold a special place in my life.
Minus the spinjitzu and the rain beneath the cut.
Enjoy!

Fellow italians, I'm sorry for turning a 60's song gay
(song's "La Ballata Dell'Amore Cieco" by Fabrizio De André btw)

So I see folks pointing out that Louis' circle A tattoo is more likely an aesthetic choice than an announcement of a political commitment to anarchism, and saying basically that that maybe makes him a bit of a poser and I mean- I GUESS. But I don't like to look at things that way and I don't think it's useful. As I see it the subversive sexiness of the symbols of resistance have ALWAYS been gateways for people who are drawn to the struggle in vague ways and that's GOOD. Aligning yourself with those values is good no matter the reason, in my book, especially given the wretched options available out there, but also the journey doesn't necessarily stop there. Gatekeeping queerness victimizes people who are just trying things out and starting to discover that it may run deeper than just trying on a new look who should instead be welcomed and helped along their path, and I fail to see how gatekeeping political affiliations is any different (plus how counterproductive to actual movement building is that?)
ANYWAY. What I really want to say about Louis is that while I KNOW that Louis is probably not secretly a theory reading anti-state communalist anarchist, I think that actually Louis' optimism and idealism (and his unwavering commitment to allying himself with the working class and embracing those roots) are a perfect fit for the philosophy and always have been. I know that anarchism is mostly understood as being about throwing molotov cocktails and fighting the state (and the allure of its symbols are that they signify this, a terrific aesthetic for him to choose to sign on with in my book), but that's honestly largely cartoonish stereotyping that comes directly from anti-anarchist state propaganda. That resistance is necessary in this hellscape of oppression we live in and is super important, but in its heart anarchism is only about the state in that the state and capitalism currently stands in the way of its goals. The whole point of anarchism is that it's NOT about the state! It's about being able to imagine something better than a state, it's about how we live and about how we SHOULD live, it's about HOPE and picturing something utopian and something free of the ways capitalism pits us against one another! What could be more Louis than that?
"I need you and you need me and I love that" is as beautiful a way of talking about the cornerstone of anarchism that is mutual aid as any long winded essay I've read (even if what he meant was contextually different), and I think when he talks again and again about how special the space fans have made around him is he is expressing an intuitive understanding of the importance of autonomous zones, places and moments outside of the shitty life imposed on us by the system (also a huge part of anarchist thought). Maybe I'm just being an optimist but I think that Louis DOES understand that caring for people and wanting self-determination and freedom for all and allying himself with the working class involves a certain amount of resistance to and positioning yourself in opposition to the state. Thinking the symbols of smashing that state are cool isn't meaningless; it's a CHOICE. There are other cool symbols out there and I just happen to think that feeling a resonance with certain ones is something in and of itself, even if at this moment he does not choose to start a fight with the media about it all.
