#literally- The Audacity

[mannequinswithkillappeal]

the fact that everybody spent four years drawing devastatingly stylish and sultry femme!crowley and then he turned up with THESE LOOKS is just the funniest shit imaginable.

incredible scenes.

#good omens #crowley #david tennant #neil and the costume department and hair and makeup really looked at all that fan art and said you know what? 'fuck you' #and I respect it #I adore this stupid snake #this is literally the least cool being I have ever laid eyes on #can you BELIEVE he has the audacity to make fun of aziraphale for wearing tartan?? #after aziraphale's lived through THESE looks??? #the absolute cheek #the sheer unbridled self confidence #unmatched

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself. #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024? #and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex. #°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄 #some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out? #good to know

during the last four days my aunt has somehow gotten me into telenovelas and can we be honest. hannibal is built like a telenovela (unhinged, violent, dramatic, the weirdest shit you’ve ever seen, etc)

#hannibal is a romcom first and foremost #but it has the sheer DRAMA AND AUDACITY of a telenovela #it’s the melodrama for me! <3 #in the telenovela we’re watching the main character literally bashes this other girl in the streets #and threatens to put a bullet between her eyes because the other girl was petty and wanted revenge #and I think if nbc hannibal was a little more unhinged than it already is that could’ve been will and bedelia #hannibal #nbc hannibal #ghost speaks

if i had one wish it would be for mfs who think calling mizu a woman is misgendering her to stop popping up on my feed with their fuck ass takes and their blatant disregard of why she had to dress/present like a man to begin with-

#blue eye samurai #mizu #mizu blue eye samurai #the creators literally use she/her pronouns for her and call her a woman quit accusing ppl of literal hate crimes bc u identify w elements #of a character that happens to be a woman jfc #ffs #its worse that some of these ppl acknowledge that she was forced into manhood and still try to find away to work around that fact #like “yeah she was forced into it but-” FYM “BUT???” #yall act like women can't have complicated relationships w their gender also dfhsdkjfhksdfh #seriously how do these mfs miss her own creators addressing her as a woman or do they just not give af... #the irritation is real dsfhjkshdkjf #the way yall can only look at it through your own western perspective rather than through the lense of a mf who was born in the fucking #1600s where women were seen as nothing but property dhfskdh #like did you miss where almost every woman around this mf hardly had options? the woman trying to get into the city with her husbands pass? #Hell mizu's own “mother”? Mizu herself??? Akemi??? She's got more privledge presenting as a poor man than a literal princess! #and i know u didn't miss it because u admit u heard it...where she was blatantly asked if she wanted to be a man and said she HAD to live a #one...so she could hide and get her revenge...she's still out for that revenge did u miss that? the willful ignorance of some of u and then #to have the audacity to accuse someone of something as awful as misgendering...augsdjghghd

i wish all people who use others' art as a means for financial profit a very fucking kill yourself. i mean it.

#just found out that this one motherfucker was making my skk art into stickers on redbubble and selling them online? with success? #like they were actually making a fucking money from it? money that should be directed towards ME bc those were MY blood sweat and tears #that went into the work. MY talent and skill and experience that i have cultivated over the years to produce something #where does one get the fucking audacity to even COMPREHEND DOING this #i am literally bitter beyond words. absolutely seething with anger #i just. i have no words. this a new level of vile #bsd fandom is absolutely HORRID when it comes to miscrediting and stealing and just overall treating artists like SHIT #i NEVER had a reposting issue when i was in genshin. or persona. or anything else ever #but NOW i have to deal with every other ask in my inbox being like “oh lotus your art was reposted :(” #IM SO FUCKING SICK OF IT

I really don’t think we should be treating morality as a linear thing in ASOIAF because what often happens is that we start to stray from the actual conversations that we need to be having regarding the depths of making a moral choice and even the circumstances involved. To try and blankly paint any one character as the “most morally good” isn’t really taking us anywhere. And it certainly isn’t helpful when people in this fandom want to try and prove that characters are “grey” but not moral (what does that even mean??) because they did one “bad” thing. If ASOIAF stans were to have their way, then:

Jon is not a morally good person because he threatened Gilly

Dany cannot be considered to be compassionate because she sanctioned torture against the wine seller’s daughters

Arya cant be good because she has killed people

and so on, and so on….

But this is such a draining, and oft times frustrating, conversation to have because you see just how shallow the above listed examples are? Readers are listing only singular instances across a narrative that spans thousand and thousands of pages, and there’s absolutely no context involved. Why did Jon threaten Gilly? Why did Dany resort to torture and at one point did she do it? Who did Arya kill and why? And why do those singular instances negate everything else in their arcs?

What usually happens when we have the 12847647282th unnecessary conversation about who is the “most good” character in ASOIAF is that we start getting blanket statements with no elaboration. And the only people ever considered are Ned, Brienne, and Davos, and sometimes the children like Shireen or Tommen. Mind you, Ned and Davos are not perfect or without their own faults either; much has been said about Ned’s abilities as a father and it’s implied that Davos was not entirely faithful to his wife. And based on her current arc, Brienne will surely have to make morally tough choices regarding oaths and knightly honor. Plus theres the irony of including literal children when they have not been put in situations where they actually have to make morally difficult choices and live with the consequences.

ASOIAF shows us that people who are capable of incredible kindness and compassion are also capable of doing unpleasant things.

Jon threatened Gilly….because he was trying to save another child whom he believed to be at risk of human sacrifice(!!) and was stuck between a rock and a hard place. But why does that singular instance negate the fact that his arc has been about him standing up for the “lesser than”? Why does that negate the fact that he stood up for Sam against a superior when there was nothing to gain for him? Why does it negate the fact that he went out of his way to equip Arya in a way that society would have deemed inappropriate? Why does it negate the fact that he dedicated the entirety of his time as Lord Commander to fight an institution that had upheld racism/xenophobia for millennia? Why should we filter out all those moments of kindness, compassion, and deep empathy that Jon has even without him thinking?

Dany sanctioned torture….but she was trying to solve the murder of an innocent victim AND this brought her no joy. But why does that negate the fact that when she gained unimaginable power, she could’ve high tailed to Westeros to use it to her benefit and become queen, but instead chose to stay in Essos where she has no personal responsibility just so she could fight the institutional evil that is slavery? Why does it negate Dany who went to personally treat plague victims at great risk to herself?

Arya has killed some….but it’s in self defense or in defense of others who are disenfranchised. But why does this negate that she is one of the few people in the series how goes out of her way to show kindness and friendship to those who are not as economically or politically advantaged as she is (e.g., Mycah)? Why does it negate that she took fellow slaves under her protection when she herself had little power to fight for her own survival at Harrenhall? Why does it negate that when she saw those caged soldiers whom she was angry with for their actions, instead of leaving them to die instead offered them the only kindness she could at the moment: a drink of water?

Trying to have arguments about morality but stripping everything down to ‘x character did y bad thing (regardless of context) and that’s why they can’t be good’ is, to be blunt, ridiculous. And it isn’t a particularly interesting way to engage with the text. Character journeys, especially well written ones, are rarely ever in a straight line. There’s amazing highs and terrible lows. GRRM gives us so many characters like Jon, Dany, Arya, Sansa, Ned, etc. who even in their lows, have gleams of compassion and exceptional kindness. It doesn’t do anyone any good to filter those moments out to make the books more digestible; and I’m being a little generous here, because so many readers have a very shallow level of engagement with the series and it shows in conversation. And we also shouldn’t pit these characters unfairly against those who have never been in similarly difficult situations that required them to make hard choices. Because when we do, we start to completely miss the point all together.

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #yeah this came out of a particular thread on Reddit and I was just like….🫠 those people can’t be serious fjsnsnssjsb #trying to argue that jon is not a good person because he *checks notes* slept with ygritte and broke his nw vows #yeah let’s crucify a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD for not conforming to absolutely ridiculous norms that have absolutely no bearing to his true purpose #asoiaf stans when a literal child isn’t happy about dumb rules set by a penal colony that’s akin to indentured servitude: #surprised pikachu face #and the audacity to say garlan Tyrell is a better person that Jon or Dany or arya #what books are yall reading???? #what has he ever done that’s remotely comparable to these people that proves he is the height of honor or selflessness?? #nothing #we know literally nothing about this guy I’m- #tagging #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #arya stark #because it’s relevant in context

Waited until I didn't have a BG3 comic queued to post these but it was hourly comics day! I love hourly comics day! I've done it the past 5-ish years and it's fun to 1) have a little annual journal and 2) see what style I decided to draw in that year. 10/10 would recommend!

#I kind of want to upload my past years just so I have everything in one place #Maybe I'll do that once I'm done with Croissant Adventures #hourlies #hourly comics day #hourly comics day 2024 #I have no idea why I drew myself like someone's 70 year old gran this year but it made me laugh #also I literally said earlier “I never see the girl in lethal company :)” and then she had the AUDACITY to haunt me THREE DAYS IN A ROW
