#don’t expect anything amazing

[freakadr0id]

For today’s ‘Favorite Tang Moments I Find as I Rewatch Season 3’ I’ve finally gotten to THE episode. I’ll probably find a lot of Tang moments I like in ‘Benched’ so I’m going to split them up instead of putting them in one long post. (Sorry about the formatting issues if you’re on mobile. I make these on my computer so I’m still trying to figure out the problem.)

Anyway, here're my first couple of favorite moments from ‘Benched’:

Oh my god this might be the sassiest Tang has ever been (and to Monkey King no less!)

Season 1 Tang? Is that you?

How do you make a man so damn cute? MK is still the most adorable member of the main cast, but only because he has more screen time.

Yup, definitely season 1 Tang energy here.

(I know this is slipping into a bit of Freenoodles here, but look at how sad Pigsy looks when Tang is looking for something to do in the band):

It's like he feels bad that Tang's being left out. Season 3 really is peak freenoodles content.

I'll do more stuff for 'Benched' tomorrow. The second half of the episode definitely deserves its own section.

Here are my other Favorite Tang Moments

study of chris bachalo’s art style (plus some other artists who popped in also)

[Image Description: digital sketches of deadpool, spider-man, and a random girl. top left corner has two colored sketches of spider-man, one from the front and the other a side profile. both show his head and half of his arm only. he looks angry and confused in the first one, and angry and thoughtful in the second one. top right corner is a colored sketch of deadpool with his mask halfway up. by his side, there’s a little blonde girl with a purple beanie. bottom left corner has two colored sketches of deadpool, both a headshot. first one is an angry looking deadpool from a 3/4 view. second one shows him lurking and peeking into something from a side profile. bottom right corner is a colored sketch of deadpool looking sideways in confusion. he’s drawn from his face to half of his torso, but the arms have not been drawn. in the middle of the canvas, there is a little spider-man mask and a very open eye with a light blue pupil. the background is a solid white. the next picture is a collage of all the references used taken from the comics. /end ID]

#i recently got one of the spider-man/deadpool issues!!! and i was very excited to study chris bachalo’s artstyle #i love it #idk #there’s something in it that amazes me. it’s so shaped and very recognizable #i love the way he draws faces and the eyes of the mask #it’s very unique and interesting #had lots of fun with this one #hope i get to implement some aspects of his style to my own #if anyone’s curious the comic is the 27th issue 🫡 #of the spider-man/deadpool comics #i got like 11 comics so expect some daredevil soon. maybe #i don’t promise anything #deadpool #deadpool fanart #spider-man #spider-man fanart #spideypool #spider-man/deadpool comics #comics marvel #marvel comics #comics #peter parker fanart #peter parker #wade wilson fanart #wade wilson #digital art #art #fanart #digital artist #my art

getting real tired of people who are shitting on “found family” more generally as a narrative concept and specifically named familial dynamics in fan interpretation of characters in particular because it all seems to be getting painted with a really wide and really homogenous brush. “we need to take found family away from people because they think it all has to be In Nuclear Family Terms and do you know friendship exists and you don’t have to call these characters siblings to legitimize their relationship while making it clear you Don’t Ship Them Ew Gross and THEN you sneer at people who Do ship them” cool cool that is a lot of really intense characterization and assigning of motive to other people en bloc!

like sure there’s some meaningful critique to be found in a broad trend to label every single relationship directly and specifically with terms that have very specific contexts and roles but im waiting to be told when anyone IS by the standards of people making and reblogging these very sweepingly generalized posts allowed to call a relationship parental or whatever. is that Ever allowed. who is handing out the permits. sometimes a specific term for a relationship isn’t actually about wanting an excuse to sneer about your ship (and frankly there’s a lot of projection going on there imo from people who are actively sneering about other people’s interpretation of a relationship!) and it’s because there are very specific contexts and details about a dynamic that makes exploring it from the lens of siblings or whatever very rich and compelling and interesting because words mean things and assuming everyone is just being reductive and demanding conformity to a nuclear family is, ironically, really reductive.

so like. cool it. stop being really fucking mean about people having an interpretation of a dynamic you personally don’t like or makes you feel a little weird or uncomfy because you ship them.

#gav gab #im so tired of seeing people do this lmao #is someone actually being reductive and trying to get your ship labeled ‘basically incest’ #or did they just express on their own blog that they don’t ship something bc they see those characters as siblings #so it feels weird to them #you know #the exact personal preference and interpretation you’re expressing in the opposite #it’s all ‘UGH not every relationship NEEDS A SPECIFIC LABEL’ as soon as the label isn’t romantic lmao #like amazing of you to start caring about how friendship matters as is legitimate without anything else #as soon as it’s not about your fucking ship anymore :) #be real you do not care about friendship lmao you can just dismiss it more easily and comfortably #when people aren’t using terms that are more loaded to your ship #are the big meanie found family enjoyers actually harassing you for shipping fake incest #or are you just uncomfortable when it is not about you #and chronically unwilling to curate your experience the way you demand other people to #because fandom has always catered to shipping and why should it ever Not be expected to do that #bc I sure see a lot of shit talking of familial dynamic labels based on people who use those labels being weird to other people #and not a lot if any of those people actually being weird to shippers #and one or two isolated incidents is not indicative of a widespread problem #do what everyone who doesn’t like a popular ship does and unfollow and block lmfao grow up

The pain in Joels voice when he tells Tommy that Ellie’s just fourteen like this guy has seen and done terrible shit. But she’s a kid. She’s just a kid and she shouldn’t have to.

#GOD IT JUST ABOUT KILLED ME #i know i know that tlou prioritizes complex and well-rounded characters but #i feel like people don’t talk about Joel’s unending empathy. like he is so kind in a world that has been so fucking evil. #he is so. he is just. #he takes care of the people around him and he asks them if theyve slept or ate and he #keeps watch for them and he refuses to take thank yous and he never once expects anything in return that they can’t easily provide #he tries to give up ellie because he thinks it will protect her #he is a bleeding heart in a cold and callous world and it makes my bones ache #also pedro pascal acted his fucking ASS off he was simply amazing #the last of us #the last of us hbo #tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers

cutting off access for everyday people to see the fountains and then holding a light show on them at the end of the race….

I saw someone compare Eileen to Carol just now. And oh god lol, they’ve got a big storm coming

#NOT like carol at all #I hope people don’t expect that from eileen because if it’s anything like the book then they’ll be thoroughly disturbed fvdgfhfve #like that book is SO unhinged and feral and gross and fucked up but in the amazing way otessa Moshfegh does #aesthetically? I guess it appears similar #but it’s really not like carol aside from the era/sapphics #anyways. I adore carol and eileen so much. comparing them doesn’t make sense though #eileen #eileen 2023

So-I stole the whole fucking show.

She deserves all the HQ gifsets because honestly she served more than the leads have in the entire season.

#alchemy of souls #kdrama #non games #words can’t express how disappointed I am with the plot #and now So-I is dead and Yul is going zombie mode #queen creeping on my home girl who still can’t married to her true love #just why waste so much time on Uk’s man pain pls #you had such an amazing cast that you could have filled screen time with #there isn’t anything wrong with Naksu’s personality either #you don’t have to make her a puppy to be worthy of existing #ffs I’m shocked because I expected more from the writers

Hey, you seem like a big warriors fan on tumblr. I keep seeing Warriors stuff on my feed. Thinking about potentially reading the books, but do you have any tips when there are literally eight major arcs, with six books in each, not including the standalone stuff. I’m really curious and I don’t have a lot of space in my house for 50 new books, do you know about any way to kind of pare down the amount of reading necessary. Do you need to read every single book to understand what’s going on? Or do you just need to know the stuff about the most recent arc(broken code) and the recent new book(Starless Clan: River) to fit in with the fandom? Any books I don’t have to read and I’ll still be fine?

Hi!!! So, in terms of not having room in your house for a ton of new books, I can definitely recommend using your local library or reading free pdfs online (or buying them if u prefer)! There are also plenty of audiobooks too :)

As for reading them at all, I’d honestly suggest reading the first arc (The Prophecies Begin) both because it’s the start of it all and bc I think it does a great job at establishing the world building and all that! Plus, the protagonist is like the most famous cat of em all LOL. Aside from that, I think the most “important” arcs are probably The Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, and The Broken Code, personally, but I do also love the rest and would recommend all of them if you have the time. I think the prequel series, Dawn of the Clans, is the least relevant at this point of time in the fandom? U don’t need to read any (all?) of the novellas/mangas/super editions to know what’s up rn but they are oftentimes a good read—just not necessary. The Warriors wiki has both simplified and detailed plot descriptions for every book that you can skim through instead of reading the whole book if you’d rather catch up sooner than later.

Also, there’s no need to Fit In with the fandom or anything. I don’t know if I’m even necessarily a big part of it, I just like engaging with it and other fans and making some art, that’s all. I haven’t read tooooo much besides the main arcs, actually, so there’s a lot I’m missing on the sidelines!

Ehhhh this is a lot, sorry, but TL;DR: start with the first arc, and use online resources or the library if you don’t want to buy books. Get into it bc u like it, not bc u want to join a fandom :P

#these are all obviously personal takes so if anyone disagrees or has anything to add feel free to say so #I’m also not anywhere NEAR being a huge influence in the fandom and I’m out of the loop on a lot of things! #these are just answers I resonate with ig #imo tpb and tbc are the best arcs #but a LOT happens in between and getting to know big characters is hard when u skip arcs #also yes everyone is talking about the newest arc obv but it’s not finished yet so I wouldn’t rush into it imo #ALSO. the books and the writing and authors are #as always with every creator & creation #not exempt from being or creating something that is problematic or has themes that are poorly handled #there is a Tribe in the 2nd arc and then here and there after that is notably racist in origin #and there r several issues with inc*st & p*dophilia even on-screen between characters #ofc no work is perfect but don’t expect to jump into something perfect and fun and amazing 24/7! #anyway if anyone has anything to add pls do lmao I’m not like. the knower of all that is wc #nothing against tnp avos nor dotc btw they’re also great but I think to know what’s going on rn they aren’t as big #well maybe tnp a bit cause of Ashfur and tbc but idk #not design #not a design #ask #lexiskillinit

If I had a nickel for every time the fandom for something I relate to and love deeply went buck wild over a shitty Netflix adaptation of it that actually kind of ruins it for me I’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s kind of sad that it happened twice

#the addams family #avatar the last airbender #BY THE WAY. #I AM NOT GOING TO ATTACK CHILD ACTORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. #but I’m very unreasonably bitter about this #if the ATLA shows defies and my expectations and turns out good I’ll be happy don’t get me wrong #but I’m not looking forward to people only paying attention to the Netflix adaptations like they did with Wednesday and skipping out #on the amazing original material

Me: okay I really should make myself go eat

Also me: what if I had an Aaravos and reader smut piece in my drafts. Like what if I wrote one right now. What i—

#not proud of myself #okay maybe a little #i shouldn’t be though #laur speaks! #anyway I’ll need to edit it later and make sure it isn’t total shit. it’s not long so uhhh on the off chance anyone here does care about tdp #please don’t expect anything amazing 😂 #i just really think I need to fuck that man. i think we all need some startouch cock content to keep us sane

jarring to come to terms with the fact that life isn’t always devastatingly heart-wrenchingly painfully awful and it isn’t always incredibly beautifully wonderful either. most of the time it’s just like. mediocre and boring. it’s pretty ok. it’s just another day again. you know?

#i have had #such expectations for so long #of life just being… #debilitatingly miserable right up until the very second it magically became incredible. and then it’d be incredible forever #but i think my brain has just randomly developed. cognitive functions are functioning #and i realise that there is no Eventually Everything Will Be Amazing #its like. This is the amazing part #all of the moments that feel so mundane and nondescript #they’re the amazing part. at the end #which is kind of like. Bummer. i thought it’d be more exciting than this #but also a relief i guess? #i don’t need to sit around agonising over and waiting for it to get good and sitting here on pause up until it happens #it’s already here. right now. each moment. and the only way to make it feel any more exciting is.. #by going and doing it. right now #ummmm yeah i know this is common knowledge and not an epiphany to the world but 😁 im just now Feeling it for the first time and its crazy . #is this how it feels when ur brain finally clicks into place during adulthood or am i still too young for that. #im looking forward to it if not LOL because this is literally sooo #it’s doing wonders for me rn #i have never been able to accept anything that was not an Extreme my whole life and it feels like i can finally relax and just live #instead of strain towards and wait for some big Something that isn’t going to come #i just have to… live… #mine #txt

#anon that sent me the link to the tweet #I don’t wanna publish and even give that person the time of day #but that is misogyny in it’s pure and simplest form #why is Olivia a bad mum for travelling and having a bf #but Jason isn’t a bad dad for doing the same things? #why are women always judged more harshly when it comes to parenting #why do men get rewarded for the bare minimum? #and women are hounded if they are anything less than perfect #a man is an amazing father if he ‘babysits’ his own kids for a night #but a mother is expected to do that on a daily basis #and a mum is a bad mum if she goes on a night out or time away without her kids #it’s expected from a dad and accepted #it’s just fucking bullshit #and that tweet encompasses all those attitudes #and a little more
