#everytime the same story

[martyrbat]

my secret confession is i think a lot of current art in comics is pretty but sometimes way too glossy and lifeless... it kinda feels like a sticker sheet where they just swap out generic stock poses that they have on hand for that character rather than the art being reflective of the actual story and moment the character is currently in

#does this make sense #like its generic 'heres this character with a hand on their hip. this is their idle position. their arms are stiffly raised now to talk. #theyre back to their idle pose (2nd version). heres them suddenly springing to life (aka arms over head as they fly abruptly and stiffly). #they land the exact same way everytime regardless of where theyre at (fist clenched by their sides)' #like it feels like different poses you can alternate between in a dress up game rather than being present in the story #wheres the expressions! the body language! the moment! the way they differently carry themselves! #i know im biased for older styles but :// idk it sometimes feels lifeless in a sense #but im not an artist so. cant complain too much. gorgeous art but it's like you can see where capitalism and demand to be sellable #kills any creative input or fun twist that makes that artist or that arc remarkable and rememberable #but whatever.... 70s and 80s comics save me..... #ransom note

Linktober Day 29, Aquatic/Water

Sometimes I forget about how dark Twilight Princess actually gets. And then I remember their Zoras, where the very pretty queen was murdered to send a political message, all of the people in the domain were turned into one big ice cube, the pretty queen's son passes out from a lack of water miles away from his home, all while the Zora at lake Hylia are stranded downstream panicking over the decreasing water level. Thats some Game of Thrones level of dark drama in a children's game. I love it.

#Look Im just saying Twilight Princess would make an absolute banger of a movie or show #The gameplay was lackluster but that story was so good #Itd be perfect #Not the manga tho #It was good but I am specifically talking about the game because they are not the same #the legend of zelda #loz #zelda #linktober #twilight princess #tp #zora #queen rutela #rutela #if I had a nickel for everytime nintendo made a hot royal zora lady that they very sadly killed off screen #lookin at you mipha #theyre both so pretty and have just the saddest of deaths #IN A KIDS GAME #prince ralis #ralis

Marlon after his husband destroys manglewood and doesnt come back a day later and yell out "JUST KIDDING IM NOT EVIL OR POSSESSED" but instead invades bunkum lagoon and kicks the queen from power and attempts to commit mass genocide

#little big planet #littlebigplanet #little big planet 3 #newton pud #marlon random #Lbp 3 is so damn overrated tbh #Its my favourite in the main series I want to sob everytime I see someone dissing it #Its the same with spm #The gameplay may not be that great in comparison to the past 2 games but the story makes up for it #Sobs #My art #Anyways Newton is literally me irl #Newton X Marlon #Marlon X Newton

One of my favourite character tropes:

Character: I don't care if the world explodes, not like there's anything worth saving it

*Mom gets hurt due to the end of the world plot*

Also character: WHO MUST I KILL?!

#If your character cares more about their family or friends then the world ending #I will immediately love them #also if they're delinquents I guess if this means anything #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo #jojo's bizarre adventure #jojo stardust crusaders #jojo part 3 #They're the same story #and it makes me laugh everytime I think about it #sally jackson #percy pjo #jotaro kujo #holly kujo #character tropes #story tropes

David Jenkins: the relationship is the show!!

The fandom: the relationship is the show!!

Me: the relationship is the show!!

Also me, whenever the relationship IS the show:

#this is the most prominent thing i felt throughout season 2!! ofmd is a love story. ed and stedes relationship is the show!! #and every time ofmd was a love story and did love story/relationship stuff i was in shock #taken back. in awe. flabbergasted even!!had to wipe my eyes and clean my ears because i couldn't believe what i was seeing/hearing! #the “your feelings for stede fucking bonnet-” at the beginning of the season did insane things to my brain! #these assholes kissed last season but i still had a Pikachu confused look everytime something romantic happened!! #i didn't get as flabbergasted towards the end of the season but it's still such a weird feeling because it's a love story.. #but OH MY FUCKING GOD IT IS A LOVE STORY!!!!!! #“i love everything about you. i love being near you. it's nice. feels good. breathing the same air” #“i love you. i love you” “i know. i know that” #i love love #ofmd #ofmd s2 #blackbonnet #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #👑

meditating on the @hotvintagepoll bracket again, specifically looking at cary grant and james stewart and being like what is the appeal here?. Because running the bracket, you see a lot of people who have never met any of them before, so they're voting purely on looks—and looking through their eyes, yeah, what makes square-jawed Cary or chinless James worth watching?

and I think what I've come to is that Cary Grant is always outside whatever movie you're watching him in, which is his particular appeal, while James Stewart is always deeply inside the movie, and that's his. Cary Grant plays every role with a little wink and a smile, always a slight touch of artificiality, and he's always Cary Grant™—the suit, the hair, the tone. He could turn to the screen and wink at you because he never seems that trapped in what he's doing at any given time. He could step out of the screen and still be this creation Archibald Leach made.

And James Stewart, meanwhile, is always playing the same handful of characteristics—the voice, the swallow, the slight awkward tallness, the lowered brow—but no matter what is happening to him, he always conveys that he believes it. There's not a soul of a wink in his performances. He believes the 6' tall rabbit, the angel on the bridge, the murder in his lens. No matter how insane the story, Jimmy Stewart conveys that he is entirely involved in it, grounded to the point of no separation.

Maybe that's what makes The Philadelphia Story such a magic experiment in onscreen chemistry—Cary standing on the sides of the action, seemingly never that bothered that his former wife is running off with two different men, always a slight smile away; Jimmy, meanwhile, immediately entangled in the story, immediately getting into fights and bungling into things and 100% inside.

#jimmy stewart #cary grant #the philadelphia story #there's no end to this essay as it isn't an essay. i'm just rambling #they both play their same personas always but cary's seems consistent while james uses his to cover a totally different person everytime #and while cary grant doesnt seem that bothered by being mistaken for a spy (i just watched north by northwest) and going on the lamb #no matter how trivial the situation is (I am thinking of pot o' gold) james stewart is always THERE. it always matters TO HIM. #passion vs sophistication vs down to earth vs grace vs looking out vs looking in

my fav love-hate enstars song is trap for you because it's so fujobrainpilled. inviting in a third-party (the audience, really) into their "dream/dangerous love/drown in our pleasure" they even have lyrics about setting it up for the third-party ("we saw you desire it") like really honing in to the voyeurism core of fujoshis. super interesting and i love that enstars is really tongue-in-cheek about fanservice. strongest example being that one event with himeru and tatsumi acting for a vn and they have a reference to ppl who like brocon. like gross topic during that event but it was a funny 4th wall reference

#enstars is really good cause it's a very potent piece of media and reflective of the issues in the isol industry #could not play the game for months cause it reminded me of the abuse stories coming out of the kpop industry when loona had that case #at the same time enstars has really gross fanservice cause they're still for profit yk #it feeds into ppl's tastes while also reprimanding them about the treatment of idols #not the best writing but it's like a solid emotional whiplash everytime #enstars #eve enstars #ensemble stars #with better writing and like a completely different art style #it could be like limbus project 2.0

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

#the Jack and Janet thing is both an understatement and an exaggeration but I don’t think anyone reads enough to care #some tim stan might get all pissy and be like ‘no look this is everytime jack yelled at him and boarding schools are abusive’ to which #and its like narratively that means nothing bc the tim you made up to justify the Drake parents you made up by blowing shit out of #proportion is also made up and if all of that was abusive there’d be smth to show for it besides ur homophobic Jack #too girlboss to care but still terrible Janet bc god forbid a woman have a personality from ur fics #anyways that’s also the reason I’m ignoring the council of spiders #well two reasons #first is that was just a moment to make tim look cool and did absolutely nothing for him or his character moving on #like at all #I’d say it fucked with his previous established dislike of killing for his own reasons #and while that COULD be interesting it’s not bc they didn’t do shit with it #and fanon doesn’t do fun shit with it either #nothing about how tim in his most manic state did shit he doesn’t want to remember shit he’d HATE other ppl for #just “’remember what I did to ur base Ra’s? mess with me again and see what I do next 😼’ #like ok can you be real and genuine? #anyways I think #AND NOT IN A HATER WAY #Tim would benefit from being humbled #like genuinely I detest the world can’t move without tim running it but the idea that tim thinks that way is so good to me #and #I think next step being him realizing that’s not true would be a BIG push for his character #bc like I said tim Stans are right in the fact that he’s stale as hell rn #but that’s bc there’s nothing to say bc there’s nowhere to go! y’all want a tim action story where he shows off how badass he is reread #the Bruce quest and maybe it’ll remind you he’s not ceo lmao but anyways there’s nothing internal to say about him atp bc nobody wants to #say anything that’s not propping him up. same with Bruce! Gotham war was such a copout but it’s like ppl are saying he’s stale and it’s bc #god forbid he makes a lasting fumble. and I’m not under the illusion this is new I’m just saying it’s weird that fandoms not clocking it #anywayyys I really do like thinking about the No killing rule and how different it manifests for each perosn #like the way each distinct difference tells u so much about them #UGH ONLY SLIGHTLY RELATED BUT DUUUUUKE BEING LIKE IDGAF ABOUT GUNS LIKE UR SO REAAAL #anyways enough tim positivity for today FUCK THAT NIGGA!

From an israeli newssource. He did not shoot at a synagogue or people leaving from a prayer service

The settlers he shot at are living on stolen land from beit hanina. A village that used to be populous and continously expanding now split by the Wall so one side lives in the "West Bank" and have permits different to the ones held on the other side of the wall in Jerusalem (which means the ones in the WB have to apply for a permit to go to the other side of beit hanina) Beit hanina is surrounded by 4 of these settlements and they are closing in. Suddenly the fig groves u could visit 5 years ago are off limits. Suddenly theres a new fence and now they are taking arable farming land to build a road for new israeli construction. No incident occurs in a vacuum this shooting is a result of decades of land dispossession.

To clarify Khairy did not come from Beit Hanina but a al Tur a neighborhood nearby. Khairy alQam's grandfather was shot to death by a settler in 1998. So did khairy shoot soldiers? No he shot what the western world would call civilians but these are not ordinary civilians these civilians carry guns they teach their children that palestinians are racially inferior they think they have a divine right to colonize palestinian land. They kill palestinians unprovoked and help soldiers in attacking them, cutting down olive trees and like last night in nablus burning and destroying palestinian property. Also importantly they were once iof and maybe some of them were currently drafted when they they were killed (if im wrong id be surprised but im not)

The settler project is not just soldiers (who are settlers as well im just trying to make it easier to understand) it's these settlers who are just as dangerous as the government as the iof and they will not stop expanding their settlements and making new "outposts."

#nothing exists in a vacuum #any palestinian action that is armed is always an act of defense its also suicide #take that into consideration that they know theyre gonna die and that their family will be interrogated and their home demolished #its not fanatic its being pushed to the edge and knowing inaction means the same fate #watch arnas children #recommending everybody warch arnas children which takes place in jenins camp #as u can tell im from beit hanina so everytime i talk about its like a script once was a big village and then israel arrived #its really the story of every palestinian village but like i can tell u what its like living in beit hanina and how close these settlers #are #we heard them in their prayer service while picking figs #i want those settlements razed to the ground #one day these ppl will come down from their settlements and burns us to the ground do u not understand why im so scared #theyre gonna kill us im terrified of those ppl #so yes i feel no sadness for the settlers killed i didnt even look at their ages or whatever idc

I don't want to be that person but football is nothing fair sometimes and I detest that this kid didn't get what he should have deserved. Really he'll forever be a rose that never bloomed and I hate it when I think about it. A kid grown up in utter poverty in the outskirts of the netherlands, last of 8 kids, lost his father young, subjected to all europe has to offer to moroccan / migrant youth (nothing except for cultural and financial isolation). Climbed the social ladder step by step, came to football almost by chance. No muscles, no physique-du-role as per today's modern football requirements...he offered tons creativity, vision and touches of magic. He should've played another football in another time, instead he found himself in the prem where the most overrated dumbster can cost 100 million of nothing only because he can run forwards at a certain speed. It makes me sad for real in words I can't express, it's like this world is never meant for some people.

#hania ahbibi #like honestly think about it tho either you're messi or you're fucked for today's football #lots of technical players are being fucking screwed #and the prem has a big giant role here but that's another story Ig #everytime I watch a prem match I try to enjoy but my mind is just #AH YEs the prem...that prem league...thank you prem league for changing the trajectory of football for the worse at inflated prices #to the point technical players are just cross spamming merchants as soon as they are a bit more slimmer than what you want. okie dokie #should went for serie a my friend I'll blame roma for wasting one whole summer of my life that time #but the same mentality is affecting serie a now. like I see technical players being overlooked bc they don't 'drip' enough #sorry this is something I think a lot. like quality is getting underrated here

so maybe I did fall in love with sword-husband and robot-slayer-wife (and their love and devotion towards each other) and then got my heart broken at the predictable end of the game anyway.
