[mooifyourecows]

was rereading Let It Ride and

like i love stumbling across bits that i clearly wrote during edits because i have ZERO memory of them

dick and balls is such a god tier trio of words

#let it ride #i liked this story #i know it was melodramatic and soapy #but i liked the gambling factor #when i think about little suga getting addicted to gambling at such a young age #because the only time his family showed him any love and affection was when he was winning #makes me so emotional lmao #kid was DOOMED i tell you

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad #because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid #i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back #i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades #i might be able to snag a short nap before work #but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen #WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE #well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway #OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal. #anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently #emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it #and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry #so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever? #and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this?? #also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m #so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point #anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari #after escaping her british nobility life #and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course. #and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known #and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates. #and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time #also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w #but at least he’s still obsessed with her #this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either. #ml #anna rambles #asks

I wanted to play around with some style stuff as i wanted to make a playlist cover for melvin and i came out with this which i think turned out really good??? making this artwork my personality for the next few days

Oh and here’s the playlist !!! I’ll be gradually adding (or subtracting) more songs as I see fit, but this is it for now!

#captain underpants #captain underpants fanart #melvin sneedly #i have a favorite #can you tell #i have gifted kid syndrome #too #the picture is supposed to be of like adjusting a camera or smth #i hope thats clear #idk #i went with the first thing i thought of #i love halftone #and chromatic aberration #making the playlist took a lot of self indulgence resistance #cause a lot of playlists are NOT accurate AT ALL #i didnt want to be one of them #but my music taste kinda dooms me #i made an edit of melvin with seek and destroy actually #maybe i should post edits on this account idk #cause i do that #this is my pfp now btw i’m keeping it this for a while #hueburgermaking #Spotify

holy fuck, this gives the zenin so much more lore than what we got in the manga. like the potential is right there to have this great inter-clan generational dispute and cold war but gege just breezes past it and then gets rid of it completely.

with all this cool new shut we’re getting about them, im almost glad that megumi was born a boy. like could you imagine just how much worse the zenin would have been to him if he was a girl? they already have the whole misogyny thing going for them and then their version of jesus pops up and it turns out that it’s a girl who wields their prized technique?

god, i can’t imagine just how much more controlling they would be towards megs, although im still not sure if the whole training until ur bones fall off would still happen. i feel like naoya would be different towards megs but we also know that the zenin are totally okay with incest so i hate where that would go.

It would have been bad.

See, I think the entire training until your bones fall off thing would still happen, but there would be an added layer of cruelty towards it. Because megumi was a little boy who was being trained in a way that even adults couldn’t have handled, so of course he spent a lot of time getting hit and a lot of time crumpling under the pressure and exhaustion. There are very, very few instances where he remembers actually leaving the training room on his own two feet. He usually was pushed until he collapsed and woke up later in the room they kept for him. But if he was a little girl in the same circumstances? They’d make every “failing” about her sex. They’d blame her being a girl for it and constantly use it as a source of sneering superiority.

It would also be bad because she would very much be seen as a source of descendants. Boy Megumi wouldn’t necessarily be exempt from that, but it would happen sooner for girl Megumi.

Bloodline is very important to the Zenin. Inheriting power, techniques—they want to continue the flow of power through the generations. And most of the Zenin clan (and the wider jujutsu world) believe that Megumi is the most powerful Zenin alive right now, if not Gojo’s equal, and the only reason why hes being graded as a Grade Two sorcerer is because gojo’s purposefully sabotaging his development. Like. Mindset is a huge amount of jujutsu ability. Yuuta went from getting beaten up by normal high schoolers to having some combat ability but needing inumaki to handle a semi grade one to being the second most powerful person alive in the span of a few months. He absolutely blitzed the previous second most powerful person alive when he would have lost that same fight a few hours previous. There’s a lot of people convinced Megumi’s on Gojo’s level but he’s been keeping him on a leash since childhood. But the powers still there in his blood.

That’s power the Zenin want to pass on, regardless of gender. But as a boy, Megumi’s got a little bit more leeway—men are accepted as warriors first in the clan, and age won’t affect his ability to procreate. If megumi was a girl? She’s got that goddamn biological clock ticking down. As the ten shadows, I think the Zenin would still expect her as a warrior, but they’d also have a fucking quota she needs to fill before the clock hits zero. And they’d have some very proprietary concerns about making sure no one outside of the clan has a chance to become involved with her. They’d want her to stay within the clan with her partners. And they’d be absolutely creepy and weird about how they went about it. It’s a little bit of a mercy that Megumi’s a boy.

#sea glass gardens #the Zenin already see boy megumi as their property #girl megumi? she’d be doomed #they already see women as property #they’d take a fucking hit out on yuuji I can tell you that #I’m a shameless itafushi shipper and while I don’t really write genderbend I don’t see a reason to change shipping them if I did #yuuji has this angry scary pretty girl who for some reason is down to hold his hand and then her fucking cousins hire a sniper #editing tags because I have more to say it’s one of my flaws #there’s so much of Megumi’s situation as a kid that was just horrible and miserable and full of pain #there were so many times he woke up in that stupid room too beaten up and bruised and exhausted to move #he was too tired to summon his dogs for comfort #and the Zenin hated when he treated his shikigami as pets anyway #I like to think megumi was actually scared of the dark when he was a kid #he was a child who saw monsters and didn’t have an explanation for them #they terrified him #his sister had a monster in the hall closet that wanted to eat her and he tried to be brave but he shook every time it came out #and it only came out at night #he was six. he was afraid of the dark. #he never told the Zenin but he could tell they somehow knew #his room was always kept so dark and there was never a nightlight permitted #he’d just wake up in the pitch and never know if anything was in there with him #he was hurt. he couldn’t move. and he was afraid of the dark #and sometimes megumi feels like he’s still that fucking six year old who got lugged from the training room unconscious and dumped in #the dark alone

[imminent-danger-came]

This may be a reach but

Both MK and Mei having something inside them that could be world-destroying, god-killing, and being afraid of it (with a bonus of Wukong hiding it from them both but idk if u think swk knew of the monkey form beforehand)

Bonus with Mei and MK having someone that can/has helped with training and mastering their abilities (Redson & Wukong respectively)

Oh boy, do I think SWK knew about MK's origins!

I've been a believer in this since post-s3, with there being plenty of evidence throughout the first 3 seasons to support it. Cause like, imma be honest, the show doesn't make sense if Wukong didn't know. I think by this point we can assume that choosing and training MK to be his "successor" was a cover story—Wukong LITERALLY couldn't have picked anyone else. I never really bought the whole "Monkey King gave you his powers!" explanation, especially when one of the first things he says to MK in AHIB is "Listen kid: You fought demons, and you didn't die, and you made it here! Not just anyone can lift my staff, but you did." And even MK had a different thought, thinking his powers came from the staff until 3x03. How would Wukong have even "given" MK his powers, like logistically anyways. There was just a lot that didn't line up! And then s4 came along, and implied "Yeah MK was born from the stone, and Wukong was there" and I was like, oh yeah that makes total sense.

And I'm also a believer in the Samadhi Fire Mei, Jade Emperor Azure, and Monkey MK trifecta of having uncontrollable, world-ending power (which they must also act as a "container" for). And you know, had the person losing control of the Jade Emperor's powers in 4x14 been one of MK's close friends, he would have been able to save them, I have no doubt. He already did so with Mei in 3x10—Mei wasn't even supposed to be able to withstand the samadhi fire. But she did (Yellowtusk "But he is my brother! I owe him my life!" parallel for the win, "No! Mei is my best friend!", YOU GET ME?). And it's like, in 3x10 MK standing by his friend was a good thing but in 4x13 Yellowtusk standing by his friend was bad. In s3 the gang trying to get the Samadhi Fire was "good" (even though they didn't really use it to defeat LBD by the end lol), and Azure trying to get the Jade Emperor's power was "bad". You see how the lines are blurring here. At the start of Monkey Kid, it's all monster of the week and "we have to stop the bad guys!". Now by this point it's "[blank] isn't necessarily a bad guy..." and "Every choice has consequences for someone", even the "good" ones. Is anyone hearing me.

And then don't even get me STARTED on "I can't be! I'm just MK!" "The Monkie Kid?". Because, I'll have you know Subodhi names Wukong in Journey to the West. I just read that chapter. And then in 4x06 he labels, or names, MK as the "Monkie Kid". And this "reason" just FEELS like it's going to involve a great amount of power, something that is...uncontrollable, even. And this time, this time when MK looses control, Mei is going to be the one to get through to him, aka Samadhi Fire Part 3. Like

#Red Son being a mentor figure to Mei like Wukong is a mentor figure to MK is good too #Sorry I completely went off the rails #THE LEGOS HAS MORE NUANCED WRITING THAN A LOT OF STUFF I'VE SEEN. I'M FUCKING TELLING YOU #I think I also had a realization while writing this post that broke me #Which was that like. Wukong wanted to put the Samadhi Fire in himself to beat LBD (his goal) #And Azure wanted to become the Jade Emperor to achieve his goals #Even if their lack of control could have doomed the entire world #And like. You know had the Jade Emperor not already been weak #I wonder if Azure would have resorted to using something like the Samadhi fire to end him. #And that thought just took me OUT #(sometimes I die when I remember that the gang has put their lives on the line over and over again to maintain the status quo) #FALLING APART OVER HERE #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk meta #YOU KNOW WHAT #MK Mei and Azure tag #power trifecta #asks #hereissananxiousmess

i just watched megamind 2 and my general thoughts? it's kind of like yandere simulator. no HOLD ON HEAR ME OUT I'M GOING SOMEWHERE TRUST ME-

Megamind 2 is like yandere simulator (not the creator, the GAME on its own). You watched it as a kid, you loved it and maybe even rewatched it several times just like the update logs.

Eventually, you forgot about it as years passed, only occasionally remembering it from a meme or someone mentioning it. And now it's 2024 and you see it and it's a disaster in so many ways.

Old fans who loved the original, hate it. some try to defend it but it's not the same. the schaffrillas review of it you saw recently, is now like the kappa kaiju video of yan sim you watched (just way more unhinged).

And as you see the wonky animation, bad writing, inconsistencies, you just think "man...i could've done a better sequel to megamind than this"

#tell me i wasn't the only one who had a genuine urge to rewrite megamind 2 just because of this series #like I know I'm late to the party but I HATE IT #SO MUCH #and i'm not kidding my sketchbook now has a spread just dedicated to megamind #how dare you massacre my boy #megamind 2 #megamind #megamind fandom #megamind vs the doom syndicate #megamind rules

That scene from A Tale of Two Stars, from Stan's perspective.

#I imagine its pretty darn scary having your carer/ grunkle beaten up by this random dude from a portal that your grunkle liked #also the 'you didn't tell me you had kids down here' bit Ford looks so guilty like #like he knew he just full on attacked this man - which in his mind is morally fine - but in front of kids? that's where ford draws the line #and stan just looks really sad when he looks at scared Mable #also the r-i-n-g bit is the tinitus caused by Stan's ears slamming into the ground/ dislodging his hearing aid ( and totally #not me deciding that adding the goofy (but still scary) dialogue because it would ruin the tone and also because I hate writing in bubbles #also you all know I had to add the bloodied nose from the story boards what sort of person would I be if I didn't? ;> #when they tell the story it certainly affected Mable but I imagine Stan's joy at seeing his brother being reciprocated by a punch really #imprinted on her I think #she's not scared of loosing dipper until she sees the grunkle she trusts (enough to potentially doom the world as of the last episode) #be so so wrong about his brother - when you see a grown up getting betrayed or being wrong it really impacts a child y'know? so yeah #but I love ford being so caring about children even when he hates his brother and wants nothing more than to slam him repeatedly into a wal #he sees children and immediately changes his attitude #is that because of his parents do you think? did he and stan see or experience physical abuse? is that why he cares so much about these #children not seeing their grunkle getting hurt? Did he see his mother hurt or stan? we all know Filbrick wasn't the best dad ever so... #because as much as stan and ford are jerks to each other they care about Mable and dipper from the moment they saw them and that's just ... #I love them #also I am so surprised by how easily they accept ford into the conversation like I get it for narrative purposes but #someone just attacked your boss/dad or your grunkle/grandpa and even if there were just massive secrets revealed and its like a celebrity ( #aka the author) he still punched your boss/dad/grunkle in the face and pinned him to the floor #did no one want to stop that or... #but for real I love how quickly Mable is like 'hey this guys odd and I love his fingers “a full finger friendlier than normal” my heart #anyway I had to draw it so I did #your welcome! #lol #grunkle stan #grunkle ford #dipper pines #mable pines #stanley pines

in conclusion, I have no choice but to try to recover again. or else another two years will pass me by and I'll be so fucking tired

#it's so terrifying and no one gets it unless they've experienced it first hand lol #like it's easy to think that it's just the Vanity Mental Illness but for me. its the perfectionism illness. it's the i need to feel like #everything is not falling apart always illness #and to let go of it is terrifying. but i have to try or else I'll be so stuck #more than i already feel what with depression #one less illness will make things less insufferable in the long term. i keep telling myself that. #it's weird because im so attached to having a restrictive eating disorder. it's like a shadow that follows me everywhere #but i have to get a new shadow or else I'll be burdening myself further. i keep thinking #'whats the point of trying to get better if it's all doomed anyway? if im so fucked anyway? if I'll kill myself anyway?' #and i guess the answer is. the point is WHY NOT (by loona) #kidding no but actually #the answer is why not give it a shot. like just for the sake of it #how do you KNOW it's all fucked #if it really truly is and you cant take it anymore then the eating disorder is there #you can take it back. reunite rekindle the flame whatever #i dont believe anything im typing rn btw like im suffering in real time bc everything feels so utterly pointless #but whatever if i kill myself at least it'd be with one less illness. or something. i dont know #at least it wouldn't be because i was hungry LMFAO #z.post

i hope the music program i plan on doing has us playing jazz. i played in my middle school jazz band for only a year? maybe year and a half and i didnt listen to jazz outside of school - only when in the car wit my late grandpa. but i remember really fuckin enjoying it and granted i was playing the drums, i'd like to go back to that genre. there's a well of knowledge i could learn from jazz (and blues) that i could take into my playing metal.

that said ive seen social media posts from the program and it looks like they play a lot of pop music (and some rock music but lets be honest, that can still fall under pop).

i just hope my instructor also happens to like jazz and metal lmao

#jericho.txt #obviously jazz and blues are the parents of rock and metal #doom metal takes A LOT from blues #i just think you make for a better musician when you know different genres - and i know thats not a unique take at all #clearly tho as a kid who played classical jazz and broadway music #i could tell even then that they were important to learn #man i really did myself a disservice not fighting to be back in band when i moved halfway thru the school year #i shouldve kept it up in high school #if only my mom was one of those parents who encouraged their kid to keep up wit their stuff #she was pretty relaxed on that type of stuff

Sometimes I think I must consume media wrong because I don't remember The Lottery by Shirley Jackson fucking me up

Like sure I read it and was like 'wait hang on, what- oh dear.' but I didn't have the 'Dude That Was So Fucked Up I Am Fundamentally Changed As A Person' experience everyone else apparently had

And that ain't a flex btw this ain't a "oh I can read the most fucked up stuff and feel NOTHING" kinda bullshit I just. Wasn't that deeply affected lmao

#but also i got a B in English Literature A Level so I must be doing somethin right lmao #smol speaks #im trying to think why it didnt really mess with me. it wasnt a 'shocking twist' it's Where The Story Went to me #then again i dont remember many specifics from when i was younger. hell i barely remember the last week. i do know we read it though #i dont remember what conclusions i reached or what we even discussed. however i CAN think of a story that did affect me as a kid: #Lola Rose by Jacqueline Wilson. I read it in primary school and have reread it multiple times. i felt such a connection with Lola Rose #she was so similar to me even though we also had differences (her fear and hatred of sharks vs my love of them) (though her fear made sense #i dont think ive ever empathized with a character so much. and that book introduced me to the concept of abusive parents i think. #the idea of a parent who didnt simply love you but sometimes went about it wrong or made mistakes. but one who *actively* hurt their family #rereading that book again as an adult is heartbreaking ESPECIALLY the 'Voice of Doom' sections which *holy fuck i relate to*. there's such #dread and fear in that book but luckily there is hope and joy!! but God above the shit that girl deals with. anyway maybe reading a story #about a weird festival that ends with a stoning doesnt hit as hard when youve read about a girl seeing the bruises on her mother's chest #in the bath and having to tell her 5 year old brother they ran away from Dad because he hurt Mum and his response is 'but she deserves it' #abuse mention #better tag that huh. yeah sorry i put half the post in the tags again GOD i should make an actual Lola Rose post

[daisyachain]

Sam Guthrie is a character I love very much but don’t often talk about, I feel like we’ve seen about as good as we’re going to get for him that’s possible in comics in X-Force 19, there’s nothing really more to worry about because he’s already achieved the perfect writing condition. Still I do have a proprietary fondness for him that means I will complain about how he’s currently written. Sam I think is a character driven by fear, or more specifically awareness. His reaction to the hardships dealt to him is to remember that they happened and try to avoid the same situation. His memory is long. He’s cautious but not cowardly, he’s awkward but not dumb. Every move of his is made after carefully considering what to do, and why, and what could come ricocheting back at him if it goes wrong. Doesn’t mean he notices everything. Does mean that what he does notice, sticks.

That’s why he’s the social leader of the New Mutants. He pays attention to everyone’s faults, foibles, needs, wants in a way that Dani has neither the time nor the inclination to and he remembers them. That’s why he cements the split from Xavier in the first place. He can’t reconcile his own experience (hopping from peril to peril to the wreckage of the mansion) with Xavier’s philosophy. To believe that passive defense and non-violence work would require him to forget or deliberately ignore the evidence of his own eyes. He wants to play things safe not in the sense of avoiding conflict, but rather in the sense of anticipating it and heading it off. Any festering issue can spread. The infected portion must be removed. Sam isn’t about to wait around for things to bite him in the ass.

That’s also why he’s a good tactical leader to X-Force. Separated from Dani and Cable, he does hold his own because he can carefully catalogue the ins and outs of a battlefield. However that same attention to detail that makes him a natural mentor also makes it tiring for him to call the shots. He can, does, and will act well as an executive leader, only with more regret over the mess that comes with making decisions that Dani and/or Cable would leave firmly in the past.

Comparing with Sunspot as not his foil (that’d be Dani) but the character who’s always there to mirror him, this driving force becomes more apparent. Sam and Berto both have loved ones die shortly before getting recruited. Sam reacts to his father’s death conscientiously. He steps into his role to bring in income. He knew it was coming, he feared it, he planned what to do to recover.

Berto, on the other hand, is more driven by grief. Juliana’s death was a shock that I think is still the single most important event to him. While his home life wasn’t always the best, I don’t believe Berto ever believed that he could experience the sort of life-or-death hardship his father had until that point. Ever since I think he’s been trying to stop that from ever happening again. Through New Mutants he lashes out in danger, assumes the worst in mishaps (Fallen Angels), shows willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good. His perpetual state is of surprise and horror at how the world is and a need to intervene.

That’s why his Avengers characterization gets a pass, because it feels like it grows from that solid base where Sam is just [insert normal guy here]. Berto spends that run reacting, lashing out at the idiocy the other Avengers get into. Sam might create a third Avengers faction to nope out of there and productively do his own thing, because he can see the civil war coming. Dani might do it because nothing’s going to get done if she doesn’t do it herself. Berto creates one because he can’t stand watching these people get into stupid spats while the world is ending, he physically can’t stand by.

#kelsey liveblogs comics #am I making any sense. no. #anyway Sam -> the Awareness of a deer in a suburb. Berto -> idealist doomed to grieve each and every disappointed hope #Dani -> unstoppable drive to achieve point B once she leaves point A. will crawl there on bleeding fingernails #therefore Sam -> slow and carefully considered decisions taking a large number of factors into account #Berto -> lightning fast reactions to whatever takes place #Dani -> quick and decisive planning based on key info but not all info #all that is to say: Sam just shotgun marrying Izzy makes nooooooo sense #the guy’s a careful planner and a sensible big brother are you telling me he didn’t spend months thinking about the logistics #of raising a kid in space away from his own family for months.
