The hunger games: capitalism pits individuals against each other in order to prevent us from uniting against the systems in power that maintain our oppression

teen dystopian YA for the next decade: light hair good boy 😍??? Or dark hair bad boy 🫣😈😈

#I’m turning off reblogs bc y’all are getting in fights #the hunger games #katniss is actually such a well written character all things considered #She’s socially incompetent and rude and also the only female character I could relate to as a kid #Those books didn’t radicalize me at age 11 for everyone to lump them in with divergent smh

That last reblog reminded me of a quite old drawing of mine I did a long time ago, and I thought, why not share them on here too!

#one piece #my art #I have aged rapidly realising that I drew these in january and february of 2013 respectively #11 years ago............. #I am happy to report my perspective skills have improved significantly since then #I want to draw a big piece with all the strawhats at some point again #past me had a lot of energy to spare #very envious of that

happy father's day i'm thinking about this outis line again

I always thought it was a bit out of pocket considering this isn't too long after the events of Canto III, even with how Outis was being harsher this Canto.

But I then I remembered that Outis' son is the same age as Sinclair.

Her son, who thinks that she died in the Smoke War (the in universe equivalent to the Trojan War as depicted in the Iliad and the Odyssey) because she hasn't been home in years. Her son who cannot cry out to her. And her son, who is currently in much the same position as Sinclair regarding his self-perception and ability to fight, as Telemachus refers to himself as "a weakling knowing nothing of valor" (Book 2 of the Odyssey, line number and exact wording depend on translation).

I think this line reflects more on Outis and her anxieties about her family thinking that she's dead, as well as a reference to Telemachus experiencing his own journey to manhood, much like Sinclair.

I think there's also things to be said for the parallels between Sinclair and Telemachus, even just the ones imagined by Outis. Hell's Chicken had her showing a very paternal worry over his diet (raise your hand if your dad has ever said you'll be short forever if you don't eat right). Overall, even though Sinclair and Telemachus only share the bones of a coming of age narrative, Outis is seeing connections there because she misses her family.

As with this one. Again, she's showing her hand more than she means to. Though she's talking to Dongrang, I think she's also talking to herself. Trying to reassure herself that home will always be waiting. Dongrang, however, decides not to return, but to pursue glory no matter who he hurts in the process. The Odyssey also contrasts the pursuit of glory with the desire to return home. Odysseus has to choose humility in order to return.

Outis has been keeping up a careful persona around us, but it's slipping. Her desire to return home is seeping through even as she tries to assert herself by clinging to the glory from a war that's long since ended.

#limbus company #outis lcb #outis makes me insane i need to bite something #outis is canto 11 going by release order... that's so far away #penelope and telemachus i need to think about them and see them #rotating them in my mind every day #and. i can't unpack homeric ideals of masculinity with how the odyssey treats telemachus' coming of age and #how that's going to influence outis' writing and how she treats sinclair. because that would take way too long #but y'know #that's another post. and that's also a post about gender. like. i can see the title now #Homeric Masculinity. Butchness. and The Meaning of Manhood: a Closer Look at Outis' Gender in Limbus Company #i title my shit like academic articles do not @ me #like. i know gender isn't really a factor in the city. but from a meta-textual level i think it's interesting and i'm a butch lesbian so #also this is a scheduled post. i am scheduling it for fathers day because i would not remember otherwise. so hi from the past

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of giving Battinson a Robin in the sequel… but I have another idea.

Give Battinson a Batgirl. Because think of the options!

Cassandra Cain, literal feral child with a heart of gold, decides Battinson is friend-shaped and maybe even dad-shaped.

Barbara Gordon, preteen daughter of Batman’s designated police ally, decides she’s his apprentice now, overhauls his entire operation, and mocks him for not showering.

Stephanie Brown, hits him with a brick and gives him premature gray hair within days.

No fear, I have done the math for all of you Fanfic authors so we can stop with the confusion.

Eddie’s Third Try at Senior Year is ‘86

Second try was ‘85, originally supposed to graduate in ‘84

Steve Graduated on time in ‘85

Therefore Eddie is one school year above Steve.

Additionally- as far as I am aware, Middle School is 3 years maximum. So, because of context/middle school talent show:

When Chrissy was in 6th grade, Steve was in 7th, and Eddie was in 8th grade- carrying on until Senior Year kept him back.

So Eddie is two school years above Chrissy.

Ages get a little weirder because I don’t know the Hawkins enrolment cut off/school year start. Some places start in August, others September. Some use age at enrollment, others use birth years etc. but, you can use a general 17-18 for Chrissy/the other ‘86 seniors, 18-19 for Steve/‘85 seniors, and place Eddie 19-20. 21 is kind of pushing it unless you go with a mid-year Appalachian transfer fanon- but again it depends on the enrolment of Hawkins.

I know folks who started kindergarten at 3 because they were big & potty trained, but others were delayed until 5. But 4 is average, ergo, let’s go with averages.

Edit: kindergarten apparently isn’t relevant anyways so let’s be glad it was crossed out anyways.

#stranger things #Eddie munson #Steve Harrington #chrissy cunningham #hellcheer #steddie #this is a PSA to stop calling it a HUGE age gap for hell cheer #this is a PSA to stop making Steve older than Eddie #this is a PSA to please at least justify or note it if you fuck with ages #this is a PSA to use Google once in your life #but I also realize there are a lot of folks who write for this fandom without ever seeing the show #which I don’t get #maybe I’m just on my way to being a fandom elder but y’allllllllllllll #at least I justified it in my ancient fanfics that I knew it was the wrong age but i wanted it that way #at age 11 #so please be better than 11 year old me

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

i always hc'd ted as slightly older than trent--maybe a year or so--but looking up the ages of their actors actually it's way funnier if trent is like a week younger. and believe me there are jokes for that whole week

#jason is like 11 days older i think #anyway i had a childhood bestie who was like two days younger than me and also far physically bigger/taller and you BET i was insufferable #for those two days #and all the time but you know especially then #trent: ted how do long do i put this in the oven for again #ted: ah yes. wisdom gained with age...y ou know when you get to be my age-- #trent: you are LUCKY I LOVE YOU. #and that's how trent says i love you out loud ofr the first time #tedependent #tedtrent #ah well update google lied to me about the actors apparently the year on james lance is wrong but #i stand by my hcs on the characters' ages

the first internet fandom i was in was for the hunger games when i was 11. it was tough back then. the main couple’s ship name was either peeniss or katpee. we really have it so much better these days. like with RatUrine

#katpee. raturine. it all comes full circle. #no one really used it but the ship name combining katniss and peetas last names was pretty. EverLark.. #but i was more of a clato/glove person. and foxglove. but i made that up in my mind #me age 11 deciding i would ship clove foxface and glimmer because theyre all girls and i have something to address about myself #anyways.

The hyper-veneration and almost fetishization of the USA's troops have honestly given rise for some of the worst types of people who want power without effort, I think.

It's why you see some entitled asshole troop who think they can do whatever to civilians because we "owe" them for them "putting their lives on the line" or the type of person who thinks they personally will stick it to a random Afghan civilian for what "their people" did on 9/11 (a racist institution fostering racism? Colour me shocked (sarcasm)).

As a US citizen, I'm personally really concerned with this attitude we have toward troops. As somebody who hates the institution of the military, I also hate that it fosters a genuinely toxic mindset - it's much like the mindset that is instilled in cops; however, when you are overseas, the people you harm are not typically US civilians, so people can sweep under the rug the injustice of terrorizing civilians who aren't "like us."

#politics #had somebody go 'do you know i am a VETERAN?!?!?!?!' to justify why he was being a complete knobhead... #...chances are he hasn't stepped foot on a military base sure but... it wouldn't shock me if he WERE in the military... #...like my dad was enlisted in the aftermath of 9/11 and the amount of meatheads who ranted and raved about 'getting back'... #...like they were batman going after the joker was EMBARRASSING. you aren't a comic book hero ffs... #...and honestly that's what broke the illusion of the troops being like... uniquely special... #...and the military thrives off of this illusion because it is its shield. the more we venerate this idea of the American Hero... #...the more justification it has to continue existing as it does. #gd bless the people victimized by the US military complex. the people suffering the most from US occupation #being a military kid really made me hate the military industial complex at an early age lol #fuck the military

Cherry valance you will always be famous to me. They hated her because she was based. I literally get soooo heated about her, especially in the movie. People treat her like she's not a person (they do that with most socs) but especially because she's a girl.

Leave her ALONE!!! She is literallyyyy a teenage girl, and I've seen people treat her like she's vindictive and evil and it's like...for what. Sure, I guess it kind of sucks she's also so trapped in that social ladder class bullshit but the point is that she's still a person.....and she's not even a bad one 😭

#the outsiders #cherry valance #ohhh my god i remember tweaking at age 11 when people were mean to her #i didnt know how to talk about it bcz i was 11 and nor very smart but i felt it #what i like about ponyboy and cherry os thay they were both raised in an environment where itd be so easy to hate eachother #and they just dont #not shipping because tbh i dont really see it #but theyre friends to me #so special friends
