Reasons to play In Stars and Time: Canon Pronoun Warfare.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #Context: early on you meet a character who tries to get you to use the royal We pronoun for them and you shut them down. It's great. #The gender swag and non-binary rep in this game is lovely. #I sketched this out when I was in Act 2 - and as of posting this I have not yet finished the game so *please* no spoilers. #It is rare for me to get into something spoiler free and I have been getting my shit rocked by this game in the best way. #Yes I *am* taking another detour to talk about a video game I love again. I will have some fun crossovers. Trust the process. #I will also do my best to pitch this game as spoiler free as possible. Because you *should* play this game: #ISAT is a very lovingly crafted RPG with very fun and emotional writing. #The characters are great and the mysteries you slowly uncover are intriguing! #The way the gameplay ties into the player's own emotional state is nearly always in sync with the protagonist. You *will* feel things. #And it is not afraid to let those things be hard emotions! Do mind the content warnings and know your limits though. #As someone who sucks at video games I also appreciate that it is so generous with your time and keeps things fun. #Not to mention it is honestly underpriced for the amount of content in it. Buy this game. I need to spread the brainworms.

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

THE LAST IMMORTAL 神隐(2023) - EP. 14 Dir. Chan Ka Lam

#the last immortal #zhao lusi #wang anyu #cdrama #mygif #cdramaedit #cdramasource #tli #im not even caught up to this point yet it just rly got me even in a clip? #i loved this scene 😔 esp. with the ost like it really captured the sweetness and innocence of young first love #like something abt young love...... its at its purest form unsullied by external forces and you only experience it in this state once #b4 growing up and getting jaded and cynical abt relationshps and the world and i feel like a world weary old person #looking at their youth and innocence like i just want it all to work out for these kids i hope their hearts don't break too much #i want this to last a little longer for them i want them to live in this bubble a little longer b4 they get bulldozed by the world #its sweet tinged with a bit of sadness she's all dressed up to marry him. gathers flowers along the way with- #excitement and expectancy. lovingly puts a flower on him to match hers with his promise of forever in mind thinking its not far while he ha #no memory of his promise or his feelings towards her #ost so good and hits a weak spot of mine- singing abt wanting to experience just the ordinary everyday things with the person you love #don't you wish that's all love could and should be?

The Mario movie thing is so funny to me. Here, look at this:

Sonic movies (1, 2, & w/ 3 on the way) come out, does INCREDIBLE in box office, decimates Marvel films, who previously had a stranglehold

Nintendo sees this, wants a piece of that pie, buckles down to make a Mario movie Incorrect order of events, as pointed out here! Mario movie announced before the public knew about Sonic movie.

(Potentially because the previous Mario movie was so out there, did poorly, & was disliked by fans & then promptly forgotten,) they pair with Illumination, a studio that is largely known for making very sterile films

Btw, is it just me that finds it weird that there is no mention from Nintendo or online of the previous movie, in all this? Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this film idk

They announce casting. Everyone immediately boos because they cast Chris Pratt as Mario.

Immediate outrage, as Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario for DECADES, was not cast in his claim to fame roll

There is a (unsourced) rumor that a test screening for the film was met with disappointment, making Nintendo unhappy

Slightly corroborating this, Nintendo buys Dynamo Pictures, to make Nintendo Pictures, with the intent to make future movies in-house

Anticipation for the movie likens it to other sterile animated movies of the last 10 years, like the Minions movies

Trailer comes out.

People continue to boo Chris Pratt, a bad cast for a beloved character who is putting 0 effort into his voice, in comparison to all other VAs putting in 110%

Chris Pratt goes to bed "depressed," at seeing the response I was incorrect, that is an older article, about when he was thanking his wife for providing a healthy child, to which people drew immediate parallels to his ex-wife's son, who has many health complications & needed many surgeries.

But with your help, we can make him being depressed after media backlash reality!

Lol, &, may I say, lmao.

#gale chatter #mario movie #chris pratt #sonic movie #btw i 100% believe that rumor you cannot tell me that ain't what happened #also it is transparent that nintendo wanted what sonic movie had #damn maybe i don't do that batim video as my first maybe i do mario movie #my hot take is they should have cast both charles martinet & the super mario bros super show va #& used them interchangeably #bc. that would own #i wanted to mention thr jack black ass thing here but i feel it's too out there & irrelevant #at first reading the quote ppl got mad at i was little like 'oh dang is this not as bad as i thought' #but then i remembered 1) it's chris pratt he says rancid shut all the time & 2) #this response of stating he feels depressed while not like apologizing is just to do nothing but evoke pity #& he easily coulda apologized & been like 'i didn't mean it that way' or 'i wasn't thinking abt it & I'm sorry' #but he's not sorry. he doesn't see anything wrong with what he said. it's the internet's reaction that is thr problem in his mind #so he wants to make them pity him & feel bad that shit is TEXTBOOK manipulation i would know lol

debates on the ethicality of a god dating a 13-year-old aside, I will say Rick made the funniest possible move to solve the Walt-Anubis-Sadie love triangle when he literally just made the two guys one guy

#mads posts #riordanverse #the kane chronicles #tkc #Sadie kane #walt stone #Anubis (tkc) #apparently there’s debates over the Sadie dating a god thing #imo Anubis was written to have the mental state of a kid too? #like if it’s the huge age gap in question then every relationship a god has should be in question #(yes they should all already be in question but that’s for other reasons lol) #so I feel like it’s fine but idk I might get killed for that

1812: A sailor takes a routine trip to London, unaware that this would be the last time he'd ever see Flanders. Many lasts were soon to follow.

1861: A boy proudly joins on with the Royal Navy, signing his new name for the very first time. This is a first of many ill-advised decisions.

I can lie and say that the last ES has me thinking about what my characters looked like back on the surface, but it's actually because of a WIP sent to me by an artist I will not name.

#my art #ockham #roberts/nite #i always forget that roberts was 13 when he had that whole ship ordeal #or rather i forgot what kids actually look like #and now i feel absolutely terrible about it #he should be skipping down the street with a minecraft backpack #not experiencing The Horrors #and i've decided that surface!ockham probably used he/him #the same one probably still does so but he's in absolutely no state at the moment to communicate his preferences #irrespective of the parabolan reflection #who's got a 'yes' situation going on #but has bigger things to worry about than people's chosen form of address #unnamed artist you know who you are #and if you’re reading this I’m still incredibly unwell about your [redacted] drawing

idk sokeefe just feels like the kind of ship that should never go canon. like spirk. do you get it.

#let me. elaborate a bit. #i just think that. one of the big draws to sokeefe was when people didnt know if they really would be canon #especially when keefe was still more a background character #and a lot of sokeefe comes from the fact that they werent canon until stellarlune! people could do whatever they wanted with them #and even up until unlocked it was never explicitly stated that keefe liked sophie. just heavily implied. #and sophies feelings could have gone either way for forever. #theyre the kind of ship that should never be canon and just be so heavily implied that it drives people insane. do you understand. #like in straight media when gay ships can be heavily implied but they wont flat out say theyre canon #thats them! that should be sokeefe! #they function the best when they are not canon #kotlc

As someone who’s played the entire BioShock series, “Oh?!”

#unsurprisingly it feels VERY bioshock #I mean it’s ken levine #I already want to analyze everything we see here #in search for what? I have no idea #but there probably are secrets to find #judas #judas game #ghost story games #also maybe I should add #state of play #in case people blocked the tag to avoid spoilers #I didn’t watch it by the way I just saw that ghost story posted the trailer too #but the video on their channel is age-restricted #will this be better than bioshock 4? #will bioshock 4 even be a thing? #apparently they’ve been in 'development hell' for a while...

I know it's silly for this to really only be hitting me now at almost 26 but man no one really talks about what a demoralizing nightmare it is to be a person without a 'dream' (tw suicidal ideation, self harm, negative talk, honestly this is just a huge vent don't worry about it I have therapy later and im on my period and this got away from me a bit lol)

I know I started feeling it in little ways since I was a kid because I distinctly remember being asked in elementary school what I wanted to be when I grew up for an activity and just saying 'nurse' because it's what my best friend at the time wanted to be. Then for a long time it was volcanologist even though I literally never really expected that to be possible for me. I started really feeling it when I had to choose for a class in high school where we spent the semester researching a job we wanted to go to school for and planning out what schools we'd apply to for it, etc etc. I had no plans & no idea of what I wanted. I have no idea why but I just arbitrarily chose archivist. When it came time to apply for college, it wasn't a huge deal because I was starting off at community college, but I thought for sure I wanted to do forensic anthropology. Obviously my community college didn't have that as an option so now I have a 90% finished associates in social sciences. The whole million years I've been working on that degree I've bounced around considering animal sciences or conservation or radiology or mortuary school or this or that as I worked different jobs and figured out what I liked doing, what I was interested in, and what I wasn't. I've thought about accounting just to have a good paying job but I know myself and I can't go through school for something that I have no interest in even if that degree would get me out of my parents house. I'm already almost always feeling on the verge of suicide.

And this year. With OVR I was sat down and told. Tell me what you want to do and make it realistic. We can help you with school but we can only give you $3000 for it and you can only have that if you're doing school full time. We can help you get a job but without a degree we can't get you a good paying job. You need a degree. You need to choose. Tell us what you want.

I thought I wanted this training opportunity and I do. I felt amazing for a while after starting it but there's a part of me that's looking ahead at the end and seeing the same pit I've been hanging over for years and realizing this has been my whole life and I just hadn't known it yet. I hate call center work. I need a job that makes me feel fulfilled but I've given up on feeling like it's an option. Part of this training is work readiness training and again they're asking me what do I want. I need to choose. Tell us what you want so we can help you get it.

I don't want work. I want work, but not like this. I want to be happy. I want to have money to survive. I want my parents to be here forever. I want to spend time with my friends and draw my characters. I want someone to love me and I want so badly to love them back. I don't want to lose my insurance because I want to keep taking my meds. I want to stop cutting. I can't keep living like this. This can't be forever.

#i just. every time i think THIS IS IT. im fixed now #i very quickly hit that 'this can't be forever' wall #and every time that wall is closer and i hit it harder and it takes me longer to recover #i feel like at this point my state of being is just anger and sadness and this stupid self destructive optimism #that keeps my hopes way up high so i have so much farther to fall when the disappointment hits #im also on my period so maybe this is all just hormones and i should chill out #dl #not art #vent

[chimchiri]

I just really wanted to draw dirty, unkempt Sal while simultaneously trying to make me laugh because of this post I saw.

#I was feeling weird today #which usually means I either draw sad vent art or stupid memes or posts I saw #hm just a weird state of emotion #where just each stroke while drawing doesn't feel right #but not as in 'this doesn't look good' #more as in 'me doing this feels weird. I should be doing something else' #(and then I usually end up switching to something like this lol) #probably just means I should go to bed #sally face #sal fisher #my art

Harriet Walter on how Caroline has influenced or realtes to each of the golden trio.

“She probably is a bit frightened by Siobhan because she’s quite like her dad and is very very smart about stuff that maybe Caroline isn’t. I don’t think she resents – I think she’s quite competitive for her affection because she admires her. I think it’s very possible for a mother to look up to her daughter if she’s not very like her, because I don’t think they are very alike.

I think If anything, funnily enough I think the one who’s most like – Caroline has flowed a bit into Kendall in that I think she has more depths than we’ve seen. A bit more inside torture than we’ve seen. And I think she’s also flowed into Roman because she’s got that glib “ha ha ha” every line is a joke defense mechanism. So I think those are the people she’s influnced or influenced by – I think Shiv is very different from her and very much her own thing and I think she’s quite scared of her really. And of course Shiv probably wants big affection too but just really doesn’t beg for it in the same way that Caroline probably never begged for it from her parents. It’s a terrible kind of poisoned challice, all that welath and power if you’re born into it.”
