An oc art dump! Her name is galentine (gale for short?) she’s based off of 50s ad posters

#helluva boss #Helluva boss oc #character design #oc #my art #maybe gal as a nickname?? #pinup girl #what should I be tagging this as #important info about her: she likes SPARKLE and FUN performances #more important info: she likes to read romance novels #more important info: her favorite colors are pink and purple #more important info: she doesn’t like coffee #alright that’s it #actually one more: she likes doing puzzles #she’s also asexual and aromantic #and accidentally landed an acting job that led to a really successful acting career #even though she personally wants to be something less in the public eye #she’s retired now and is now peacefully doing puzzles in her old age #I have a few drawings of her current age but they’re not done 😤😤😤 #this is just her younger designs

#guess who did not sleep enough last night. THIS IS NOT SERIOUS ANALYSIS. JUST IN CASE. and also it's very specific to /this/ prod #i continue to abuse the power of my having bought it. and if i seem biased it's because i am #my posts #julius caesar #shakespeare #the globe 2014 #i should start putting a disclaimer which is that a lot of parts in this version are just deeply boring #HOWEVER if you're willing to have a lot of fun then this is the prod for you. and the costuming's amazing #also the pardon me speech and antony&conspirators scene before it are nearly perfect they've infected my mind forever #AND certain details and acting choices are HIGHLY interesting to me. antony and octavian being around the same age for one. #(also calpurnia my best friend calpurnia <3)

Edy Ganem stop being queerphobic challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE.

#I didn't want to say anything because I know I have a considerable number of followers and I didn't want anyone sending her hate because of #something I posted. But since I'm no longer the only one talking about it... #Now Miss Girl. #You know good and well at your big age you could (and should!) have just left well enough alone #and that's my thing is #people create these situations for themselves and then act shocked when their actions (or lack of action since she still didn't issue a real #acknowledgement or apology) has consequences. #Being anti-queerphobic is about way more than the rainbow LOVE IS LOVE rhetoric leftists like to pronounce and that's where most people get #tripped up. I feel like she's one of those people — at least with the transphobic little joke that no one laughed at #But with that comment about turning a straight character gay? That's just outright homophobia and it's not cool. She could have chosen to #ignore it but instead she chose to like AND comment sooooo. How else is that meant to he interpreted except ignorance at best #and intentional homophobia at the very worst? #Anyways. Devin Kelley is the only valid 9-1-1 girlfriend. I know she's dead but can we bring Shannon back? #No? Okay? [sad tigger walking away.gif]

#this is what the average person on tumblr is missing. what i meant when i said the average person on tumblr should see misogynistic men talk #on the internet regularly they would benefit from that #not incels or andrew tate guys. normal guys #in november #and like i say: brf slt #i remember in 2016 when i was just getting into feminism as like a thing of the present the big thing on french twitter was for guys to say #meuf = pute: girl = whore. they would just say this. 24/7. not even a creative way to be misogynistic. but i was like oh! #then when girls would talk about getting harassed they would be like you made this up you're too ugly a film directed by quentin #tarantino etc. i think one of the most frustrating things they do is say no boy has ever sexually harassed a girl in middle school because #all they thought about at that age (that age being. from 11 to 15) was football and video games like OH MY GOD we were literally there #i mean no there's worse a lot worse but it's one of the most annoying ones like how are you all coming together to collectively #gaslight us #i could give more examples but it's not that interesting just these people HATE US!!!!!! #it's never just one or two guys or even ten or even twenty it's SO MANY PEOPLE just united by their hatred of women...heartwarming #in a way #but whatever i know people are awful on the internet or whatever but these people exist irl i'm pretty sure. im just not blissfully unaware #i'm sure that's nice. it's probably a bliss even. frustrating for normal people who have to interact with that though #or maybe not for normal people misogyny is a very widespread thing idk if you know this...frustrating for me! #like why does seeing frankly misogynistic tweets kinda not bother me as much as seeing posts that act like misogyny isn't a thing. at least #they're honest!!!!! #like it does feel very bad. but i'm used to it. kind of

Tuvok says that Vulcan children are very well behaved and have a lot of emotional control by the time they’re ~elementary school aged which makes sense but also makes me want to see what a Vulcan toddler or kindergartener acts like since they can’t be reasoned with as well (can’t really meditate) + are babies and also brimming with near irrepressible violence/emotions.

Vulcan toddler is just quietly accompanying their parent along on an errand. They stop and point to a toy of some sort and ask politely if they can have it. Their parent explains that they have enough toys at home. The toddler immediately throws the tantrum of the century. Just turns into an absolute wild animal in their rage. Other Vulcans are just like “aaa I remember when my children were that age” but any aliens around are like “oh my god is that thing OK??” I imagine even older Vulcan children would have issues with emotional control given that they’re also children! Though they’d of course know they needed to control themselves and behave...sometimes you just slip up. Vulcan children are playing together harmoniously. Then one breaks the established rules of the game. “I made contact with your arm. You are now the chaser.” “You did not make contact with my arm. I dodged your attempt.” “You dodged unsuccessfully. I made contact with your arm.” “I did not.” “You are cheating.” “I believe you are the one cheating.” And an adult has to rush over as one pounces on the other and they both begin screaming and clawing at each other’s eyes. The rest of the children are watching with interest or perhaps grabbing implements to assist their friend.  Little lapses in emotional control would probably be common until they reached like....highschool age. I can imagine an eleven year old Vulcan hearing they can’t sleepover a friend’s home and immediately shattering a vase before apologizing and cleaning it up.  It also seems like bullying would be very prevalent on Vulcan. Spock is canonically bullied frequently and it seems natural that Violent, Extreme Emotions in teenagers would lead to that kind of behavior which isn’t outwardly unacceptable (like crying, laughing, etc) but still satisfies an illogical desire towards cruelty and establishing dominance.  Vulcans schools probably have so many ‘Bullying Is Illogical’ seminars that do nothing and everyone makes fun of behind their teacher’s backs. Two Vulcan teenagers bullying each other, trying to see who has the more emotional reaction. If you cry or get mad you lose. Only babies cry and get mad...seems pretty illogical(cringe).  Vulcans seem to be very focused on respectability so I’m sure that as bloodthirsty teens there would be a lot of accusations and rules...if you hang out with X then Z,H and Y won’t talk to you. If you apologize too soon then they might accuse you of behaving too emotionally and gossip about you...if you don’t apologize at all they might accuse you of behaving too emotionally and gossip about you. It’s very stressful. Tuvok also said when he was a teenager in that one flashback that he was ready to fight over the girl he had a crush on (saying he’d “issue a challenge” or something) so I’m implementing that into my personal understanding of Vulcans...like adults do NOT want these kids to fight but amongst other teens they’re like:  “Seynar is my boyfriend.” “I disagree. He sat next to me during meditation three times this week.” “Only because I was absent.” “Then he is fickle and will be mine soon enough.” And then they challenge one another to a secret duel after school. Dueling to the death is very cool and grownup v_v (teens rarely die from such duels though bc either the other teen stops or someone told an adult). It makes sense to me that teenagers with violent urges would fight one another in a way that they consider acceptably adult. (mimicking the marriage ritual thing or even pon farr...romantic and cool.) Imagine being a teen Vulcan and your crush starts hinting that they have another person who might be interested in them....hmmm.....and you know you’re gonna have to duel for them or lose em. Such is life. Vulcan teens seem like they’d either date a lot (emotional whims) very non seriously (because they’re all betrothed) or date not at all because they’re gonna get married to their betrothed anyway. Loving someone other than your fated match is probably a pretty big trope in Vulcan romance stories...or maybe the opposite? Like someone bad tries to steal your heart but you remain resolute and return to your fated match as is logical. Anyway all this to say that I think Vulcan children and emotional control is something that’s fun to think about. Especially regarding how Vulcan children would act around adults vs other children. Vulcan child to adult: I will do my best to get along with my sibling. (2 seconds later once mother has left)  Vulcan child: You may play with the red toy. If you play with the blue toy I will harm you. Bodily. Meanwhile their older sibling is rolling their eyes like ugh....threatening violence is for babies....now to prepare for my logical and very adult duel for the love of my life whom I have known for three months. v_v

#vulcans #my writing #this is just stream of consciousness thoughts though #I just think Vulcan children should behave differently than adults...brains not done cooking yet and mastery of emotions is not complete #vulcan children being almost entirely self interested until a certain age #at which point they become very outward-facing...trying to please others around them and be liked/respected by their peers..trying to fit in #and then as adults they're able to strike a balance between knowing oneself and being respected by others #Vulcan teen frantically trying to decide if it's more logical to obey their parents wishes that they not go out to a party #or to go to the party which T'Yana said EVERYONE was going to be at.... #since T'Pol says that Vulcans were (pre-reform) in factions I think that'd carry into their modern emotions... #is it more logical to be loyal to the familial 'faction' or the friendship one? #Meanwhile their baby sibling is screaming and banging their fists against the door because they WANNA! COME! IN! LET ! THEM! IN! (No.) #eeeeveryone thinks babysitting a Vulcan child will be SO easy until they threaten to rend your flesh from bone then set the house ablaze #because you wouldn't let them stay up five more minutes #star trek #I think Vulcans should be a little fucked up and wild but want that to NEVER EVER get out #I hope this makes sense v_v #how vulcan children act around peers vs adults vs alien adults etc should be different #hehe I also think as small children they'd just call anything they personally don't wanna do 'illogical' and their parents have to sigh and #teach them how to separate 'what is logical' from 'what I want to do'

Should not be feeling prideful abt the fact that I treat housekeeping staff like Actual Human Beings unlike MOST of my office and therefore I got to hear all about her kids and was shyly asked if I could help design & print smthn bc her kids are coming home from college, but like, I AM, this is my crowning achievement at work but really it should just be like. The baseline of human decency. And YET.

Not to be like We Live In A Society but :/

#franposting #anyway its also like. maam. youre old enough to be my mom. im ur kids age #idgaf that i have a desk job and my own office you are clearly My Superior and i will walk across hot coals for you #everyone is SO mean esp to english as additional language learners #and im just. i will fucking kill you all #also the ABSOLUTE like. messes people leave? or just ignore the staff? dont stop and chat? #like yeah we dont speak the same language and sometimes conversations are hard but like. try ur fuckin Best #anyway this isnt even really pride this is just #rage and disgust at how middle class white collar workers treat housekeeping and maintenance #maybe i just got used to growing up poor and working class #and now working an office job im like. wtf. yall really act like this to another human being wtf #theyre not even actively rude its just like. omg dont create extra work thats not her job #stop and say hi and chat. TREAT HER LIKE A COWORKER BC SHE FUCKIN IS #SHES NOT UR GODDAM NANNY SHES A HUMAN BEING I S2G #its made worse by the fact that mt workplace is REDACTED and therefore should know/do better

finn said mike was trying to be “normal.” we know this normalcy hes trying to obtain isnt in relation to dnd— hes very open about playing it and suppressing his nerdy side isnt part of his arc, but instead lucas’. him trying to be normal has nothing to do with the upside down shit either. were shown nothing the whole season that explicitly has to do with him trying to ignore the upside down or suppressing trauma or anything (hell, his storyline the whole season is completely disconnected from the supernatural plot, hence him never showing up in episode seven). hes just being the same kid he always is. that is, until he shows up in california

from the second he walks through the airport terminal were shown something is weird with his whole getup. he acts weird the whole day, his behavior feels forced, and to top it all off, he cant tell his girlfriend he loves her. he gets defensive over it. and this behavior just… doesnt line up with the explanation we were given

if he did love her, he had nothing to be so paranoid about. being scared to say you love your girlfriend because you think shell leave you one day doesnt result in whatever the hell mike was doing, especially in tv shows. and getting defensive over the prospect of not loving her puts him under even more scrutiny. in media were actively meant to see deflection of blame and defensiveness as a confirmation of guilt, so why would they have him act that way if he wasnt guilty? for drama? to throw us off the scent? fuck no, thats just shitty writing with no rhyme or reason

mike would not act that way if he was actually in love with her.

#byler #anti mileven #HIS BEHAVIOR AND REASONING DOES NOT CHECK OUTTTT #ITS SO CLEARRRR #if they wanted to make him seem like he still loved her whyd he act so defensive #whyd he constantly shift the blame #innocent people typically dont do that #ESPECIALLY in tv #in a show ITS A SIGN. WERE MEANT TO NOTICE. #this has been sitting in my drafts for ages i figured i should post it #tldr mike has guilt written all over him and if the writing is good then its not just for shits and giggles

[villainanders]

what ages do you guys truth for the companions btw (idk which ones have canon ages i forgor <3) sound off in the tags or replies or w/e

#4 ME.... i think like 20 y/o ali and maybe like 25/26 year old zev and leli. im controversial i think morrigan is like 27 #and just emotionally stunted. i think wynne is late 60s early 70s and canon genuinely make a math mistake. sten and oghren are prob both #in their 40s #for da2 as of act 1 i put anders somewhere in 29-31 age range. bela at maybe 27/28. fenris around 25/26 and seb around there too. #merrill maybe 24ish and varric and aveline both in their mid-late 30s #for inq josie in her late 20s dorian at about 30 and sera at like 19/20 and cole also around there. bull maybe late 30s #solas early 40s (or so he seems..) cass like 45/46. and i know blackwall is probably on the older side of his 40s but i put him on the #younger side bc he already has an insane age gap with my trev lmao #if i forgot anyone here obviously i don't care about them and you should probably send me hate mail

the worst thing (<- hyperbolic) about being an overwatch fan is after being abandoned for like 4 yrs before ow2 came out, i had so much time to build on the characters and world in my head, and now that they're back with a new creative team almost every single piece of lore we're getting is directly contradicting all the shit that i made up and convinced myself was canon. stop this madness. PLEASE

#prompted by the kpop mv that came out tonight #like it's cute. and i'm not gonna act like some random product tie-in for a crappy song has Canon Ramifications or anything. #but having brigitte look Cool and Hip and going to a pop concert is so jarring to me. #that girl is on that medieval serf shit. i do not think she could be more out of touch with other women her age if she tried #she's spent her whole adult life traveling around europe being a literal squire 😭 #and tracer wouldn't be there either she should be in the mosh pit!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! #overwatch got me fucked up dude i have to take a kpop music video so serious because i'm so starved for content. #everyone else i get though. i thought it was funny that they stuck sombra in with The Kids #because they didn't have enough to round out their little k/da group. so they can charge $50 for a bundle #the skins are not my thing but i haven't liked most of the ow2 skins tbh. even if i wasn't a f2p warrior #kiriko's hat is cute i guess. i don't like that shade of blonde on tracer. whatever

Being raised by adults who never apologized for their wrongdoings and always blamed their behavior on extenuating circumstances or someone else or their mental conditions really messed me up huh. Like all I asked was for you to apologize for yelling at me for asking you to hand me something because you thought my tone was wrong. But instead of an apology, I'm the one in the wrong because after all my tone was hostile to you and I need to remember that due to your ADHD you can't control your emotions. Nevermind the fact that I had carefully rehearsed the question in my head over and over again because this is not the first time this has happened. And I'm clearly a manipulative person for crying after being yelled at. Doesn't matter that I was thirteen, after all, I should've known better.

#sorry for the vent post #im just not in a good headspace lately #i just keeping going back to this #because i think it was my breaking point #kinda the moment i realized nothing was gonna change #because it didnt matter how hard i tried #and the fact that even now eleven years later when i explained to her how hurt i was by this interaction #it still gets brushed off and i still don't get an apology #like you wont apologize for the big problems you wont apologize for the small problems #it doesnt matter how much i explain how i was hurt i dont get an apology #id even settle for an insincere one at this point #and now being adult and recognizing how bullshit that behavior was #but being expected to carry on like usual because after all it was never that bad #nothing really terrible ever happened so why should i hold onto the past #idk man like 18 years of constantly walking on eggshells and carefully selecting every word and controlling my tone fucks a person up #and i dont wanna go back to that #nevermind the fact that my anxiety disorder got ignored and brushed off time and time again #nevermind the countless signs and panic attacks and weird behavior #mental health mattered until it was something you didnt have or inconvenienced you #then it was all in my head and i just had to grow a pair and act my age

[bananafishdepression]

I get that everyone thinks Shorther is older than Ash since he's always been so much taller than Ash, even in Angel Eyes, but we never see Ash teasing him for his age, even if it's maybe like 1 or 2 years. I think they're same age, which means Shorter would've been born in the year of 2000 too. He could be younger even, but we never see Ash calling him a kid either. We see Ash teasing Eiji for his age all the time even tho it's just 2 years apart, but never them.

All I'm saying is that Shorter and Ash knew each other for a couple of years and never teased each other for their age, while Ash literally made fun of Eiji when they just met lol.

#ash was so quick to talk shit to eiji when he said how eijis older than him and he should act like it #idk its just my guess #i wish we had shorters age and birthday #eijis birthday too #akimi why #give us answers #banana fish #asheiji #ash lynx #eiji okumura #ash x eiji #gay #lgbt #banana fish the stage #bananafish #anime #manga #bfish #eislan

people who go "I know that amy is twelve years old but she acts mature for her age so I think its okay to-" just know I'm looking at you like this

#the 'it okay bc theyre mature for their age' is a fucking DANGEROUS mind set #obviously depending on what exactly theyre saying my reaction will be different. like. #saying 'she acts mature so I think its okay she was leading the resistance' annoys me bc 1) shes from a kids media. kids are gonna #be front and centre and doing shit that irl should only be left to adults thats fine thats expected thats NORMAL #thats not because shes 'mature for her age' thats because shes a fictional character. thats how all childrens media works #2) any mention of 'being mature for their age so its okay-' will get my back up reguardless of the context #but yeah in discussions like that I'll get pissed and annoyed but ultimately whatever. hope you get better critical thinking skills #and realise how dangerous that way of thinking is #and obviously anyone who uses it as an excude to put her in msfw situations I hope die #age discourse

Guys I'm not normal about immortal characters. I think there is something deeply wrong with me that draws me to them but ohh my god I could talk about the horror of immortality for so long.

On the mind bc I beat bg3 today as durge romancing astarion. I want to imagine they cured him of his vampirism! But what if they never do?

Learning slowly to love after having lived for 200 years in torment. Growing, slowly, to care for friends. Finding companionship with this rag-tag group of heros thrust together by fate. Falling for someone. Learning how to love, sincerely. Caring for someone with your whole heart. Saving the world. Staying with them. Settling down. Reuniting with friends!

But as time marches on, it takes its toll on those he cares for. Maybe sickness or battle take one or two. And it hurts, but life carries on.

Perhaps the eldest of the group find their end with old age. It hurts, but life carries on.

Time continues, he sees his beloved aging, while he does not. It hurts, but life carries on.

The group is small now. Another didn't live to see the next reunion. It hurts, but life carries on.

Finally, it happens. The one he loves most, the reason he cares for life at all, dies. Perhaps they lived to the end of their lifespan. Perhaps battle or sickness ripped them from life early. It matters not how they die, only that they do. And it hurts. Gods, it hurts. But life carries on. It does not end for him like it does for others. It continues, leaving him naught but bitterness and grief. It leaves not even the certainty that it will end, and allow one to see the departed once more, as an equal.

It hurts, but life carries on.

#cw death #bg3 #bg3 act 3 #astarion #durge #durgestarion #like idk guys immortality is just #i could talk about it for ages #i think about it more than i maybe should :3 #my durge and astarion do get a happy ending though #they cure his vampirism #and live nice happy natural lives that end one day #they deserve it

You're not being gaslit. Different people have different tastes. If we didn't, the family tree would be a straight line. You're damn near 30 years old. Grow up and move on to people you like.

was it really that serious bff... was it

#flora is this your anon #made one post about the man and acting like i don't do anything else in life but talk about him.. that sounds like your anons #i wanted to reply something funny but i'm just too much in awe #that someone read the word gaslit in that context… and decided it was anything but a shitpost #idk how to tell you but telling me i should ‘move on’ when you’re here… on my blog… in my inbox… over my opinion that i didn’t even tag #also sorry but the age card on tumblr really isn’t as big of a burn as you think it is or i wouldn’t be here in the first place #maybe you grow up tho and don't be on anon like a coward if you plan to call me an old hag okii? #lord can't even call a man ugly on MY blog what's it all for then
