Holy fuck. I found all my old unfinished fanfiction.

#honestly in shock #i thought this was all lost forever

Interview with the Vampire, Our Flag Means Death, Heartstopper, A League of Their Own, etc... In just one year. I'm realizing that I'm experiencing a revolution in queer media in real time and it is so gratifying yet surreal to experience something not even close to realistic a mere 10 years ago. 10, 20, 30 years from now, this will be common place, and I can't wrap my brain around that

#Honestly in shock #these are REAL shows! #Taken seriously by professionals! #They exist! #cant believe it #our flag means death #interview with the vampire #queer media #heartstopper #a league of their own

Absolutely insane to me that Akira Toriyama is gone.

Dragonball was so not just influential to me personally (as someone who grew up in the very gender segregated 90s it was the action anime/manga that inspired me to keep checking that genre out, even though it was so aggressively marketed to boys - Western comics made it clear that This Was Not For Me, but Dragonball fit very well with my other fare of Sailor Moon) but also to (shonen) manga in general.

He had such a clear artstyle and amazing fight choreographies but for me the most important thing he contributed to the genre is

a) this sort of sense of whimsy, of fun - not everything had to be grim and serious and macho at all times, sometimes it could just be silly!!

b) Goku as a protagonist of a popular franchise was so out there at the time in a way we can't really envision now because the Lovable Good Boy/Man has pretty much become the shonen action archetype. At the time you did have some spunky boys - but mostly those were sport related and/or slapstick related.

Cursory google shows that in action manga the protagonist tended to be older and a bit more grim, a bit more hardened, stoic and cynical (like...Fist of the North Star was debuted very close to DB)

Goku however was a kid who who was bright and fun and a bit simple but fundamentally good, who didn't care who you were or what you looked like, who cared what you did.

And even more importantly someone who didn't grow out of his childlike naivete, someone who had seen horror and death and still at the heart of him was kind and funny and open.

And I think that says so much about who Toriyama was a person and the sort of things he gave the genre and the world.

up too late once again in the name of continuing to attempt to visualize a voice in Arthur's head: return of bedsheet John; now with TEETH

#malevolent #john doe #goldy #arthur lester #I LOVE the humanized versions I've seen of him #but I can't let go of the horned haunt #that I now have in my head #honestly this amorphous facial features is GREAT #for just playing fast and loose with minimal emotive expressions #like just a mouth and set of eyes #amazing how FAST and easy it was to get the expression I wanted #shocking

Ok but think “but daddy I love him” as Regulus singing “but Siri I love him” talking about James. Trans Reggie saying “I’m having his baby” and Sirius freaking the fuck out and Regulus just saying “no I’m not but you should see your faces”

HEY guess who's being completely normal about episode 7 :)

anyway it sure ain't me, so I made myself a baby Malleus! I used the single-headed version of Choly Knight's hydra pattern (link will be in replies ↓↓↓) as a base, and just messed with some of the pieces to make him more Mall-y. including sewing all those little claw pieces, then pinning them on and realizing I actually liked him better without them...oh well. to heck with accuracy, I want stubby little dragon legs!

unfortunately, he doesn't photograph very well, especially his forehead scales (they're there! I promise!) (they're made of glitter HTV so they are actually SPARKLY in real life, yet apparently they come out completely invisible in photos, woe). but he is super cuddly and soft so I'm happy with him! just as in canon, he is a product of LOVE. :>

the cat returns is possibly the funniest animated film ever made. it's just 1 hour 15 minutes of Haru pretending she wouldn't marry a cat and failing. Her going nooo I can't marry a cat and even if I did I don't know him I mean knowing him doesn't matter I can't marry a cat haha. And then at the end she tells the Baron he's hot and even he's like. this is unnatural. thanks I guess. hit me if you need any work related shit.

Something about the fact that these shots are all grouped together, one after another, visually giving them equal weight just gets me. The narrative knows what's going to happen between JGY and Huaisang at this point, knows how it's going to treat JGY at the end of everything. And it still takes time to show Meng Yao instinctively and immediately going in front of Huaisang and Huaisang instinctively and immediately hiding behind him. It takes the time--literally, showed it in the background and focused on it with the same general amount of time as the other shots--to show that this act of protection and trust are just as real and true as Jiang Cheng defending his sister, as Wen Qing defending her younger brother.

Like, I dunno! There are other Nie juniors there! They have swords and shit! Huaisang could have gone and hid behind the wall, but he hid behind Meng Yao! And Meng Yao could have moved back with Huaisang, but he steps directly in front of him!

There's a lot CQL did to JGY's character and narrative that I don't like and that flatten or just straight up erase his full complexity. But I really appreciate the lengths that it went to in Episode 4 to explicitly tell us that he does not hesitate to protect Huaisang, even though at this point he does not have a sword and definitely does not have anywhere near the same cultivation power (if any) as any of the rest of the people in the room.

Right now, after being publicly humiliated, unarmed and definitely outclassed, he is brave. Along with the rest of the characters, he's allowed to be uncomplicatedly young and loyal and just as innocent as any of the other students there.

#Besides Wen Chao fuck u bud #Honestly I think that along with Xichen Huaisang is the other person he legitimately never considered hurting #(In the same way that he didn't consider killing Mingjue hurting them but I digress) #With Xichen I think there were plenty of times were he came to the conclusion that fucking him over or overtly manipulating him #in a disadvantageous way would benefit himself and he actively decided that he would not do that #Whereas with Huaisang I just get the impression that it never occurred to him to do that #And I'm not saying that was ALWAYS out of the goodness of his heart #I think he genuinely didn't think he would get anything out of taking advantage of Huaisang personally or politically #Which is not the most ringing of endorsement next to 'I knew I could and chose not to' #But it wasn't ALWAYS that #for a man who has to constantly be on guard and look for leverage in every single interaction and aspect of his life #I think it's pretty significant that he let Huaisang in so close that he was shocked when he found a metaphorical sword in his chest #along with the physical one #Because in never trying to hurt him he never felt he had to defend against him #He loved him. They both loved each other :( #Also him finding Huaisang's bird antics so genuinely amusing in the background of this ep is just 😭 #jgy #nhs #my stuff #jgy meta #nhs meta #text
