Can you please draw Edgar and Johnny stargazing or something like that

Day 8 - Stargazing

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Nny #Edgar #I actually went and looked up what constellations are most visible around this time of year lol #I've never gone looking for Pegasus :0 I wonder how much we can see from here #Gotta be a clear night for it! Chilly #So cold that their noses have gone red haha - they're all bundled up but that car hood has to be freezing #I super didn't want to draw a car so I mostly cheated lol ♪ It's close enough! #I could've drawn them on a late-night picnic I guess but them laying on the hood of the car is just the Most Correct y'know? #They're gonna be frozen solid once they're done lol #Oh no however will they warm up lol #That said they're not even touching while sitting out here haha ♪ Nny doesn't like it! His arm is fully over his waist! #Did Nny have the beanie or did he borrow it? Who's to say #Edgar would have a matching scarf to go with his favourite shirt tho he's a dork like that <3 #Same reason he'd know which constellation Nny's pointing at like that - bookish nerd ♥ #Gosh this one was close to being posted outside of the usual 2:30 time! Hopefully that won't be a theme #Wish me luck ♫

Obsessed with the POV choice in Imperial Radch as well, both because Leckie does some really wild stuff with how expansive the strict first-person is able to become due to the worldbuilding and who her narrator is, and because it's SO entangled with the central thematic concepts of identity. In the first book flashbacks when the narrator is still a warship, "I" can encompass so many things, and sometimes explicitly refers to different facets in the narration--is "I" Justice of Toren, or One Esk, or a specific segment, or Breq narrating from twenty years in the future? "I" isn't simple, isn't unified, and while this is most literal and obvious with Breq/One Esk/Justice of Toren and Anaander Mianaai's split factions it's true constantly throughout the work at every level of scope. Individual characters struggle with internal conflicts and hit their breaking points--what is it that makes someone decide they have to disobey orders and make a stand or they won't be themself anymore? How do you know who you are if you've been forcibly changed (Tisarwat) or if the world you knew has moved on and become unrecognizable (Seivarden)? How does a character on a colonized world navigate the split identity that comes from the pressure to assimilate to the dominant culture? And then there's the Radch writ large, all the Radchaai so deeply invested in the idea that there is only one true concept of Radchaai society, of civilization, but of course there isn't! It changes based on location and over time, and Breq muses that the Radchaai empire would be largely unrecognizable to the isolated sphere of the Radch itself. In these books, even if you aren't the last remnant of a destroyed spaceship and its legion of bodies, "I" is such a complicated concept and the narrative never lets you forget it.

#imperial radch #i looooove it #first-person but Let's Make It Weird #and that's not even touching on the way Breq can get data from Mercy of Kalr once she's captain #so as long as Ship is watching she can see third-person-style scenes with her crew #and has access to their biometric data #so she can see what they're doing and make guesses about how they're feeling #but sometimes she's very very wrong! #('Seivarden doesn't love me.' girl please.) #and how that's ALSO tangled up in The Themes #because she's not a ship anymore! she only has one human brain so she can only pay attention to one thing at a time #can only watch one scene playing out; can't process all the data that Ship's collecting #can't swap out bodies when she's tired or regulate her own emotions or hold herself or sing with herself #and it reminds her of everything she's lost and it breaks her heart! #but it would also break her heart to give it up.

genuinely controversial take but i hate james cameron and i hate the avatar movie (at least the first one bc i havent seen way of water). Do you know how jarring it is to be watching a movie and seeing the real life genocide of ur family turned into like… sexy aliens who fuck with their hair and are saved by a white guy. the animation is beautiful but like…jesus christ.

#anti james cameron #Jenny nicholsons video on the theme park actually touched on it in a way that made me laugh #for a white non-native (afaik) lady she is surprisingly good at identifying and calling out racism #anti indigenous racism #like whatever we have bigger concerns i guess but i just remembered watching it and hearing them flat out call the aliens “savages” #and just being thrown into the stratosphere

throughout the series of drake and josh it pretty consistently implies that josh nichols is a christian (josh peck is jewish) and in the finale of the series helen (played by yvette nicole brown, not jewish[?]) is portrayed as a practicing jew

#i dont have a problem w either of those things necessarily i just find it interesting #if i had to guess. drake and josh was a mainstream that didnt wanna touch on religion generally #but josh was kind of a dork and usually when josh's religious beliefs are implied it is in dorkish ways #such as praying and thanking the lord after he has his first kiss. #but since dan schneider is jewish perhaps he wanted to make helen have a jewish wedding in the finale? #not that there needs to be a reason. but u do notice occasional jewish-related jokes in d&j but none of them are what you could call #offensive. in good faith that is. 'eric is a pacifist' 'i thought he was jewish?' like come on #text post #i have been rewatching drake and josh recently and i have had so many thoughts #im almost done. i just have left that stupid dance episode that they premiered last for the stupid reason #of a special dance-themed premiere night in fall 2007. they premiered the third episode of icarly and a new zoey 101 on the same night #which i think is so stupid. they should've aired really big shrimp last. it messed w my understanding of the series at the time lol #i remember not really knowing that the show was ENDING. like i knew icarly was starting & miranda was doing that #i thought really big shrimp was like just another special like go hollywood. #and then like two days later they premiered the helicopter episode for some reason #and i was like why is drake not famous in this. he just had a number 1 song in a superbowl commercial #and then a month later the dance one. which. if anything is satisfying about that as a final episode it's just that #that unnamed girl from the blues brothers episode who is obsessed w drake shows up again and congratulates them #and the very final line of the series is 'who is she?' because. because really who IS she? #that's a funny enough throwback to wrap things up with i suppose #drake and josh wasn't a highly serialized show so i can see how they could air those after the intended finale and act like it didn't matte #but i have to tell you it did fuck with my brain a bit at the time. lol. i still think of those episodes as having 'happened' after #and on paramount plus those episodes are still placed after really big shrimp. the injustice #but thats kinda messy. what a weird way to end such an influential and popular sitcom #season 4 had a few lowpoints while still also having some VERY solid episodes. #idk. ill have to continue my series review another time im getting way too longwinded here #helen dubois is jewish

i love you cycle prophecies i love you characters crushed beneath the weight of your predecessors i love you characters who are mythologized before they can even introduce themselves i love you characters who are screaming for someone to look at them but are swallowed up entirely by the role they play i love you characters who feel so inconsequential and secondary to the title that they inherit i love you characters who don’t know where their choices end and where fate begins

#uriel posting #themes #motifs. even. #this is about my dnd blorbo but you can blorbo tag i guess #the god-touched #quincy #is he the divine champion and king or is he a traumatized boy who is just at the cusp of 16 and doesn’t know where home is anymore? #you can only pick one and this choice is permanent. is he a savior or will you decide save him? #you can only pick one #ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! #SCREAMING!!!!! #this can also be applied to zelda and link too. wowie #the legend of zelda #<- for me to find this in my zelda tag in 2 years and remember how correct my opinions are

Princess Tutu had a surprisingly great ending. It's almost cathartic for a story that's about stories and endings to stories to have a pretty good ending itself.

#princess tutu #(spoilers) still would have wanted tutu to confess her love to fakir and turn into a speck of light #but thats kinda morbid of me. its defintiely better that she gets to stay alive as her true duck self lol #and the story is in good hands now (fakir's)...i guess???? #i really enjoyed the meta themes in this anime. so much relatable stuff for a story writer #so true drosselmayer! your characters do indeed just whatever they feel like sometimes and surprise YOU with where they take the story!!! #im pretty sure fakir has a crush on tutu and he can write stories now so i suppose he could make her a girl somehow xD #altho that would be contradicting what he told her about just existing as yourself.... #overall its the perfect ending while remaining internally consistent. fakir was never meant to pick up a sword and would have died in vain #just because the story infected his town. he was always supposed to be a writer and now he is. and ahiru was always supposed to be a duck #so #AND OMG RIGHT THE ED....SO ITS HIS REFLECTION ON THE WATER RIGHT #im glad rue got her happy ending because she deserves it after all the suffering. and i even forgave mytho for being so boring for 80% #of the story. he somehow made up for it in the end #i love fakir the most tho. that character is layered and changed so much throughout the story its insaaane. a sweetheart too 🥺 #but i basically liked everybody except mytho LOL i was so frustrated in the kraehe parts because i felt like rue was being done dirty #and i was rooting for rue 😭 plus ahiru of course is so cute and lovable #anyways. super wild. loved how everything had to be dancing and the ''stage-like'' scenes and the music omfg #and the damn cat teacher lmao #As a writer princess tutu spoke to me.... I'm touched by this story; as a writer. It really does things to you on multiple levels like that #fakir can only write if its about ahiru...🥲 is this what its like to have a muse??? is this what i need to finally move #forward as a writer??? 😭😭

I have so many thoughts on ff7 rn

#some of them are: i wish the fandom was better and bigger? its presence is surprisingly small for what youd expect #i dont understand the sephiroth x cloud ship like literally cant understand it #i guess its an enemies to lovers thing but there isnt any? tension? #id accept it with zack bc of their history but idk cloud is a baby next to sephiroth #also every time i look st zack legit tewring up #im learning to play price of freedom and aerith's theme snd they both make me super sad in a good way #i used to dislike aerith bc i didnt like her with cloud. it seems to be that aerith for cloud is kinda idk. motherly? like a caretaker lol #but i started liking her a lot thanks to her dynamic with zack #bc theyre super goofy togethwr #i do like what cloud's name means for aerith tho #bc she's scared of the sky and clouds hide the sky and his name is cloud. poetry #anyway just some late night thought bc ive been playing crisis core all day #literally 7 years after coming into touch with ff7 and i still cry when i look at zack man #makes playing crisis core particularly tiring #millions of typos bc my phone is still kinda new and the keyboard smaller than my previous

they did sooo well with walking wake but paradox raikou looks so stupid im sorry but what IS thaaaat

#hows the weather up there asshole #also paradox cobalion is just boring #but i guess it fits the Theme #im not even gonna touch on the bridge thing like i love duraladon but jesus christ #if youre gonna design a bridge pokemon at least do it well? why is he even still dragon type #also why is the bridge pokemon an evolution of duraladon that doesnt even make sense either #why not just make it a new guy

hnghnh obviously i don't like dana but i don't dislike her as much as it would seem from how i clown on her. like that's all funny haha. but actually i'm thinking about her

#sm 2099 #she's giving daisy buchanan yknow #kind of naive/easily swayed. used to the finer things in life. not particularly profound #not because she lacks the capacity for it but ig just because she's been raised that way #she doesn't get the kind of conflict anyone in the o'hara family is dealing with because she's simply never had to experience that #and that's not necessarily her fault #but there's this fundamental fracture between them that can't be bridged #is she still shitty? yeah #but to be fair. from her perspective her fiance just started acting weird one day and then threw her out #does that explain hooking up with tyler stone? maybe not. cause who in the world would touch that man like girl what were you thinking #but no no jokes aside i get her thought process and i can't seriously hate her #she deserved better treatment from the writers too tbh cause she could've been more fleshed out #all the women in the comic could've been- that's why i love the way they rebooted lyla for spiderverse so much tbh #giving her more agency and making her an actual person #xina and dana deserve that kinda thing too :/ i guess xina got it better but still #dana was kind of just an accessory to various guys WHICH TO BE FAIR COULD'VE WORKED HAD IT BEEN AN INTENTIONAL THEME THEY WANTED TO EXPLORE #but i don't Think that was the case because like i said xina's writing had this problem too #just. man. what the fuck is this comic

do NOT make a mistake and think for even a SECOND i am not still insane feral out of my mind about belphegor obey me just because im quiet i am LOSING MY MIND EVERY DAY on the inside about that sleepy purple bitch

#every single day i consider again..... a blog. #but i wont because its not the same these days ): #cant even theme my own page anymore and have anyone fkn see it. tumblr is hell #i GUESS i could run it in a certain way thats very. aloof #which is arguably not ooc lmfaooo #the most ic thing for him to do is have like a brother bully him into making an account #and then he never touches it again JFKSKF #but what im saying is i dream about it. i miss him and i miss writing him more broadly hes my baby boo #belphiemou my beloved. #skelly speaks

Also I haven't properly watched a new anime in ages & I don't really feel like it. Hate to say it but in general watching animes is like... sitting through a lot of cringe just to witness some ok writing and maybe a mildly emotional scene. Surviving fanservice also

#dn and kuro dont count cuz i was rewatching #i used to actively search for stuff thatd be more... mature? with darker themes? #everyone was so hyped about goblin killer? or? what was the goblin one called #and guess what it was about goblins raping women to make more goblins 👍 #i dont care about the plot btw. if you write something like that. youre sick. #so i just dont touch anime or manga atp #unless its something everyone loves like dn

Shout out to those of us who feel horribly freaking betrayed by the very same woman who gave us an escape from hell as children, who now can't even think of that same media without feeling horribly sick

I know others like me must exist

Her views don't reflect who you are just because something she wrote gave you hope as a kid.

#yes this is about harry potter #i haven't been able to touch the books or movies in years and yet i cant get rid of the box set of books i bought when i was like 17 with #my first tax return #someone i once looked up to now makes me feel so freaking sick #the damn thing keeps coming up in my family. theres no escape #my stepsister was obsessed with the movies recently and named her orange cat weasley #theyve got some hp stuff going on at coles and dad asked me if i knew who the chibi characters were #felt sick that i did #and then he goes on about my aunt or someone wanting to go to a themed trivia nigjt and that id be an 'asset to the team' #i couldnt say ANYTHING because my dad is one of Those terminally online middle aged men #yknow. disney is propaganda and woke and social engineering bullshit #thank god he didnt say anything when he noticed id donated a lot of my old merch #now that im an adult i have unrestrained access to escape media #but as a nine year old i did not #and its also like. a bunch of fond memories with friends have been tainted #ignore me #vent #i guess

ive been skipping the cutscenes for this run so i can get those last supports as fast as possible but i will watch the chapter 6 ones. as a treat :)

#it IS my username after all #tactician's log #eva plays awakening #chapter 6 beloved i wish theyd used it for lucinas paralogue in engage instead of stupid arena ferox #although i guess a replica of ylisstol castle in the middle of brodia would be much harder to explain than a gladiatorial arena #anyways chrom’s father’s war nearly destroying ylisse as well as plegia is SOOOO SO INTERESTING and then they barely ever touch on it again! #except in volume 2 of the drama cd BELOVED if nobody got me i know a dauntless plegian storm got me #i don’t think awakening’s writing is bad by any means - it’s just more focused on themes than worldbuilding #but they did really drop the ball on stuff like this bc fleshing that out would have made the themes stronger

hey wait a fucking second did my blog desc get wiped

How do you do to put the words in other colors? I have tried to do it but only the default colors come out.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I'm assuming two things.

First of all, I actually struggle making posts with colors because I use the desktop for my Hypmic accounts. And when it's in fullscreen, I can't just make words in different colors and fonts as easily as you can in the mobile version. I have to either use html (coding hell because I only took beginning classes in high school) or the easier solution: Just make the window into a half-thing.

So here, when I'm in fullscreen, I only have the option to put my words into bold, italics, header, link, strikethrough, and some listing techniques. If I want to put colors in fullscreen it's a slog of coding which I hate soooo I do this instead:

With a half window, I can actually put colors and more font options! And I noticed in comparison to the mobile version, there definitely is a few more color options and by that I mean there's the addition of the color yellow. Which is strange? But with the lack of html support for the app, you just gotta settle with one less color I guess.

RIP yellow font color...But, I hope that helps you anon! And I have no idea if anyone else had this problem, but I hope the others can use this to help them too. ;;;;

Feel free to message me with any further questions I guess? I got limited knowledge, but being on Tumblr since 2018 definitely means I got something helpful to say...

#admin #mun #ooc #tech support I guess #tumblr is a bitch to work honestly #Honestly it's making me think about themes as well and I refuse to touch my html code for my personal and other ask blog #I hate html so much
