How much am I allowed to post/ramble about the solarpunk zombie apocalypse story I'm working on before it gets annoying.

Bonus points: I haven't actually gotten to the solarpunk part of it.

#out of queue #ani rambles #Ani's Solarpunk Zombie Story #yes there's a tag now im preparing for the inevitable future where i go off on some wildass tangent #ive been working on this shit since like. 2022 i think. and i still only just wrote the end of the first night last week #its one of those 'im stuck on everything else so maybe i can do this' project #and usually when im stuck on everything else im stuck on that too #but yknow what? fuck if I didn't write some paragraphs on it last week so now my braincell's all like #OOH! can they have electricity in a post-apocalyptic solarpunk society? should there be a stream near the community for current generation? #but wait! what would they use electricity for? but wait! can you do viral research without electricity? how'd they do it in the past? #when was electricity invented? were they doing viral research before that? they had to be right but were they? but wait #does the society work as envisioned in my briancell without electricity? what if candlelight? candlelight could be fun! but would it besafe #wildly off topic but waste! what do they do with waste? did they make a wetland system to deal with the waste? but then all the pipes would #need to go to this wastewater system! if they didn't already in the buildings they repurposed then there'd have to be work to reroute them! #would it be more reasonable for everyone to have composting toilets? how do you make composting toilets in the apocalypse??? #is there just a team of people every day who get paid to make the rounds and take away waste buckets every night? but where to? #what's their PPE like? is there PPE in the apocalypse? there has to be right! but how? what from? like my guy has PPE #because Briar worked for a research facility before it got overrun #but how did THEY work? did The NEST have electricity? leathermakers? where'd they get food from? vials? materials? supplies? #god its a lot to think about #on the one hand i can take the 'its sci fi dont think about it too hard' but on the other hand it has to feel REALISTIC #or else I'm a BAD AUTHOR who's CRINGE and NOT POG and am doing BAD SOLARPUNKING

Thinking about Weird Barbie and how she's the very obviously queer outsider of the Barbie world, she straddles the lines between Barbie and the Real World. She's the most aware of the performative nature of it all. She supports Barbie while also gently mocking her panic at losing the hyperfeminine perfection. Her weird house is also home to the discontinued reject weird Barbies, the outcasts (including very gay earring Ken) who never fell into either the original matriarchy or the Kentriarchy brainwashing.

The other more classically heteronormative and beautiful Barbies both pity and fear her, and at first the narrative pities her as well. She's the vessel of girls going weird and crazy and feral on their dolls and that's amazing. Weird Barbie is aware of who she is and how the world sees her and she loves it. She's Weird Barbie and She Owns It.

#i couldnt identify with a lot of the Barbies Feminine Crisis on as deep a level as other women i know #but holy shit did i see what they did with Weird Barbie aka Queer Barbie #GOD this movie did such a great job capturing the feeling of #gender is fake and but also its real #ive been having gender thoughts #mostly about how im so goddamn ambivalent about gender that i can't even identify #with the idea of thinking about What Is My Gender enough to say its nonbinary #my gender is Sure Okay #she/her yeah fine its whatever #barbie

Uncle Iroh and Rose Quartz are very similar characters from similar backgrounds and follow similar journeys, but the people arent ready for that conversation

#i know this cuz i left a comment about them being similar on tiktok and everyones real pressed about it lol #god forbid women do anything amiright #but its okay for the silly old man #i also think the lack of scenes Showing iroh's tyranny shifts the scales in his favor a lot #atla #steven universe

the catholic rejection of it all

#one piece #op #trafalgar law #monkey d. luffy #gear 5 luffy #song is big god by florence and the machine #religious symbology? in my shounen anime protagonist? it's more likely than you think #im 24 years old it's the end of 2023 it's MY turn to finally make a cringe amv for christmas #to be clear. i dont think law sees luffy as his god. but i definitely think he's helped law regain some faith #i.e. catholicism (yeah hardy-hah one piece character is an ex-catholic its all very silly but let's take it unironically for a second) #it would've drilled into law as a child to believe in one true cause (that cause being god). and that will supposedly carry him through lif #give hope purpose etc. but a lot of former catholics choose instead to find that in something else. in law’s cause: #the freedom and hope corasan gave him #the freedom that luffy brings. the will of D. the goodness in the people around him #it's a transfer of faith that feels real and tangible #it's a neat concept and I don't see it talked about much #CJ's op watch-through #corasan #donquixote rosinante #sun god nika #CJ's edits #op analysis #amv

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.

Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.

In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

#barbie #barbie movie #barbie spoilers #ig #ive got a lot more on how barbie looks at feminism and the patriarchy cause god they did it #not to say there isnt faults such as very little conversation about intersectionality #but i can also understand the impossible task of talking about EVERYTHING in one movie #not everyone will be happy and thats fine #anyway i think something barbie did really well is fight this battle of both wanting so deeply to love (romantically or not) men but also #not dismissing the fact its mens job to solve their problems themselves #that even if women need to be the front runners of breaking the patriarchy men cannot rely on them to solve their own problems completely #also just god im so glad this wasnt a girl boss slay movie #women deserve respect and love and life regardless of accomplishment #we should not have to be ceos and presidents and world problem solvers to gain equality #i can also understand if nonbinary people feel left out/disconnected from the movie #but as always gender abolition and acknowledging the gender binary (ie the one societially impossed) go hand and hand 👍 #just incase cause idfk terfs dni the barbie movie is not for you #barbie literally states constantly that her gender has nothing to do with (non existent) genitals so f off

#alison Bechdel #dykes to watch out for #ive been thinking about this image a lot partly because that right there is what we like to call a shared experience #but also because of the god damn gender of this dyke in particular #dtwof holds a special place in my heart because as a comic strip about queer/butch experiences it feels like a rare insight into how wlw #felt in the 80s-00s and especially over that progression. its not about traumaposting or sending a message #it was just dykes going and not to play into a cliche here but i think thats beautiful #just lesbians living their lives #i always think of it like if the f.r.i.e.n.d.s. cast was replaced by a group of gay ppl living politically charged lives #only without making the gay ppl the butt of the joke lol #ive forgotten what i was trying to sau with these tags but basically these two lil panels feel like a lot like home to me #gender #oh no i used the dreaded quotation marks in my tags and it has ruined the order of the tags #the 8th tag was supposed to say something like 'its just dykes going 'this reminds me of a dyke i know' ...' #7th tag not 8th i cant count #the point is #i tried

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #the prison dimension is horrifying on its own #add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering? #god I can’t imagine how scary that is #Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there #it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo #personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension #so it’s a prison in all ways #but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all… #Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really #because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope. #to smile #nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him #and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual #one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that #should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination #I’m unwell about this family #actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities #but to their relationship to family and love in general #kinda like love languages in a way #Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe #Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind #Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible #and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway #like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home #even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there #and that’s enough

nobody requested ink and nightmare for the rare pair prompt so i guess i had to do it myself

#robanilla-arts #my art #i love them your honor #im joking btw ahskdhjd lmaoooo #A LOT of people requesting Dream actually 🤔 #I want to draw him in a harem situation bc in my silly brain Dream would be SO SMUG about having ten boyfriends #i mean. canonically he would probably be SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE but like ignore that for a second and just remember #and or imagine for a second #that Dream likes genuine attention that uplifts and supports him and maybe flirts with him all the time with no expectation of return and #skshddiekkdjfj GOD #this isnt the dream ship post this is the inkmare post #inkmare #ink sans #nightmare sans #ink x nightmare #I just think Nightmare and Ink would be beautifully horrible together #Ink's affection tastes like nothing and thats perfect for him #nightmare listens to Ink ramble about diddly squat like its a podcast in the background of his other activities #Nightmare and Ink fight all the time its kinda like error and ink but nightmare just messes with story trajectories instead of threatening #their very existence #so like imagine for a second that its very homoerotic and gay okay????? okay. #rant over skdhdjdj sorrry lmaoo

rape ment / not a huge fan of debates from reactionary atheists who joke about mary lying about cheating or being some sort of first century slut, and then making up a story about god appearing to her to hide the truth because like. that's a girl. that's a child. that's a peasant girl under the age of sixteen. if you take that story at historical face value and agree that the mythological aspect is simply not real, then suddenly this is a story about a girl who was almost certainly raped, cannot remember what happened to her, and tells a story that an angel appeared to her and impregnated her. and that is the basis of christianity. christians also do not like to talk about this and i have also sat in the camp of mary's consent was predetermined, but i've also grown enough as a christian and a theologian to recognize how fucking depressing this story is. maybe the story of christ is one that begins and ends with a miracle, or maybe it's one that begins and ends with being brutalized by men.

#p #rape mention #once i publish my work about how jesus is basically a woman (basically transfem) its over #jane schaberg and more recently blake hereth have both very compelling argued that God's non-disclosure #(which is central to christian theology) automatically negates any possibility of mary's ability to consent #and i just think that's a lot

im watching a retrospective about Majora's Masks dungeon progression and realizing a little more every time he says "this game took a lot of very brave steps out to not be ocarina of time" that my disappointment with totk isn't out of place. I've been told "it's breath of the wild 2, why did you expect it to be different?" but like.. it's it's own game. why is it the exact same but with an arguably worse iteration of the story?

#i actually have a very long list of reasons i dont like totk but yall have heard all of them a million times before #he makes a point of showing how the 3ds remakes ruined a lot of majoras masks unique boss fights #and i agree completely. i think its emblematic of how zelda has changed as a franchise #if the most casual non gamer would be frustrated by a puzzle or fight it needs to be dumbed down NOW! #vs how the games used to be almost mythical. like how people STILL talk about the old water temples #how it used to be an EXPERIENCE to go thru dungeons. it would take hours #it would feel like something #the quote unquote dungeons in totk are the subway surfer tiktoks of ingenuity. its so disappointing #totk is only better than botw in 2 facets. it handles fantastically. and tulin. thats it that's all it did to be its own game #oh and the brave choice to not even mention revali by name which is fucking hilarious #genuinely so disappointing that they can have more money and man power than god and the games are worse now
