#i say this like i wasnt trashing on it when it was first announced 💀 #BUT LOOK I WAS WRONG THIS GAME IS GOOD! #probably partially because they had time to fix the bugs 💀 #but the gym challenges?? might be my favorite so far i love them all #the grass and the fire ones especially! #like yeah they're not stupidly difficult but they're creative too #and honestly there are some banger galar mons #i will say the routes are kinda week #especially in the first section of the game #the forest area with the glowinb mushrooms and fhe town in it though??? awesome #the story is what I'd expect of a pokemon story tbh #i think the only thing i actively dislike so far is team yell #they're not as funny as team skull and they're kinda boring (although their dialogue can be really funny I'll give em that) #but it's good!! im enjoying it!!! #reawakening my childhood joy or something idk #the wild area is honestly fun too like its a lil shallow but i dont mind it #oh and the characters so far are great #i also bought the dlc and i havent touched any of the crown tundra but the isle of armor is so fun #klara is hilarious actually she might be my fav rival so far 💀 #and kubfu 🥹 i rushed to get him so i could use him for my playthrough and he kicks ass!!!! #so yeah im having fun with it #in case anyone was wondering where the random sword reblogs came from LMAO

i always say i dont want a book to have a screen adaptation out of fear of them doing it dirty and then i think of the most perfect casting ever for the main character and im like FUCK now i wont sleep until i see this happen

#yes im still thinking about walker scobell as simon snow and i will not stop thinking about it for years #look at the last gifset i rbd TELL ME THATS NOT JUST FIFTH YEAR SIMON SNOW #i read carry on when i was SIXTEEN and i am not exaggerating i have been trying to cast simon for the last 8 years #ive had some pretty solid options for baz but for some reason simon has been so hard to find #but this kid oh my god he fits him so perfectly hes such a great actor but also he just looks exactly like how simons described #just give him a little more freckles and moles and that is simon snow #and percy and simon are very similar characters so i COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT i lost it when he fought the chimera with a sword #im so attached to carry on ​i would be absolutely DEVASTATED if it was adapted terribly so ive always said i didnt want any adaptation #BUT FUCK WALKER SCOBELL LITERALLY IS SIMON SNOW AND NOW I WANT IT AAAAH #SOMEONE PLZ TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS SOMEONE ELSE HAS GOT TO BE INSANE ABOUT IT TOO #now im gathering pics of every kid actor i want for each character and im putting them next to each other like theyre action figures #might make a post about who id cast for everyone i have so far #DEFINITELY will if someone asks me to #walker scobell #simon snow #carry on #snowbaz #books #books and reading #booklr

The line reads on these, especially the last one, sounded a lot like Zuko in the show proper.

#the actors are doing a bang up job on this show #yes I'm singing it's praises #this scene was great #also Zuko just looks very much like Zuko should?? #props to the costume designers & such & the actors too #oh god do not look at the comments on 🏴‍☠️ sites #anyway really enjoying it so far aside from some stuff here & there #the focus on stuff being centered was a bit weird especially in the first few eps but maybe I've grown used to it?? idk I'm on 4 as my next #the youtube short & tiktokification of some of the framing was very jarring at first thou #dallas james liu you're doing amazing capturing his character! #mine #op #natla #avatar live action #avatar the last airbender #atla #avatar #netflix avatar

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.

#charles edmonstone my beloved #he's so much fun #and his friendship with guy is one of the best parts of the book #i'm shocked to see a victorian book where the disabled person is neither a monster nor a saint #the disability affects his life and the household but it's far from the only thing about him #he's a great character in his own right #he even has a plot-relevant illness #but the plot relevance isn't 'oh no he's near death let's have drama' #but 'he's having a flareup and can't write letters so someone loses a vital correspondant at an unfortunate moment' #(charles does later lampshade the lost opportunity for a dramatic deathbed reconciliation scene) #but anyway despite my continued comparisons of this book and little women #they are different books #aside from the laurie thing and the general family atmosphere and the moralizing mother figure there's quite a lot different #for one thing the male characters are much more interesting than most of the female ones #the girls are fine but certainly not the main draw of the story #i do like the religious aspect of this one more though #at first it was giving me anxiety cuz they agonize over teeny little sins #but once we moved from childish concerns to more adult ones the faith aspect became much deeper #still clunky and eye-rolling at times but also surprisingly natural in some places #and i'm still holding my breath for whatever made jo cry over this book #66% through the book; it's gotta be coming relatively soon #books #the heir of redclyffe #little women #charlotte mary yonge #louisa may alcott

Man. May I just say. I love how in this game it’s like “you have four suitors and three of them are the most repulsive men on the planet then you have this really energetic guy who wants you to step on him if he does anything bad BUT he’s trying his best”.

#variable barricade #nayuta yagami #i love this boy so much but oh my god he has so many issues he needs to work on #like thats literally every suitor but they are so slimy and then you get NAYUTA THE PUPPY #hi its not my fault the suitors have a rose color and i happen to fall for the guy with the orange rose its really not #honestly this game has such great designs hhhhhhhhhhhhhh #the art is so good for it i love how everyone looks #i havent touched this game in a while but i was thinking about it the other day like dang kinda wanna go back and try more #bc i have never played another otome where the protag is like damn talking to this guy makes me wanna vomit #she has so far stood her ground well against the repulsive suitors imo but again i am not far #please game dont make her cave too soon do not let her swoon too fast im begging you #also her female bff is a delight and i love her a lot #otome that put women side characters in it that are likeable are so amazing thank you for this gift variable barricade #also this is in fact a line of dialogue from the game and im like son what is wrong with you i love you so much #the heroine is thankfully just as put off with it

IF I WERE WOY CREW I WOULD ALSO FIGHT FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THE LESBIAN FLAG SOMEWHERE ON OR NEAR DOMINATOR IN JUST ONE WHOLE SCENE IN THE SHOW  SEND TWEET

#(maybe at the end of her character arc to avoid any unsavoriness / unfortunate implications about her feral ass idkidk hmhjujjnfgs) #Wander Over Yonder #Lord Dominator #granted that's in the scenario where say craig is fine with ascending her lesbianism to official canon status #(currenlty it's abt on the same level of canonicity as wander's logevity/immortality. as in they're written as being but it's not OFFICIAL) #but like i feel kinda strongly about um. it's great to leave characters fully open to interpretation so that all takes can be valid #BUT i think that if the crew sees a character as one thing and goes so far as to write them as being that #then it should 100% be made official official canon bc um HEY ahjaghjsdnmds. like atp the collaboration the silent agreement THE CODING #that's!!! a lot!!!! atp it's important to confirm the rep as being meaningful to the show canon and make it official ygm #and when it's like. when it's as tiny a thing irt the overall plot/character development. you don't have to go crazy with that confirm #SLAP A FLAG DOWN & CALL IT A DAY WHO'S WITH ME haha #TOH DID IT OK K.O. DID IT NIMONA DOES IT!!!!!!! DO YOU SEE THE VISIONN #oh but speaking of making canon rep explicit. if dom were to be confirmed i would also push for a super lesbian coded NON-villain #yk just to avoid. a certain disney trope #same with the aro coding like idk if she's meant to be literally aro or not but regardless #i think woy could really use an unequivocably do-gooding good guy character who is as romance repulsed as dominator is #bc i think the show does a fine job of separating her disinterest from her evil - doing evil is evil. not liking romance is neutral #THAT MESSAGE IS THERE IMHO!! #but it doesn't do a fine ENOUGH job #i think the character who is hella unparalleled in her evilness n all that shouldn't be the only character in the show who's No Romo #anyway im getting way too rambly about.. what is literally just the discussion of TINY THINGS YOU CAN DO TO DO GOOD BY LGBT REP BUT AAAA #as much as i have to say about them in practice these would all be very tiny things and i just love how much you can say with a little #if that all makes sense #❤️

ahhhhhh i remember why i dont read comics & books and watch movies as much as I should. Because they make me lose it

#i get suddenly hit with a tsunami of inspiration and an urgency to Make Something #but the urgency isn't about the process of making it's about I Have Stories To Present Too. I have to See Them Realized. #and that hit of urgency is obviously far too short lived to make anything. esp since it comes in a set with a feeling of 'wow this- #-thing was so great' that transforms into intensified perfectionism of No No What Im Doing Here Isnt Good. What Is This. Disgrace- #-to my idea AND to what inspired it AND to my self proclaimed status as an amateur storyteller #which turns into artblock. so like low chances that ill even get a singular good drawing made during this #and the multiple comic or script or whatever ideas that appear in my head during this are out of the question entirely #oh and all of this appears next to the normal feelings caused by a good story like attachment to the characters and having to process it- #-for a while and if its very good then even sometimes rarely i get the need to make fanart #so all of this combined just leads to me not being able to do anything for a while and feeling awful about it. #fun./sar #i wish i was a normal artist people here are so resilient and do stuff even though they dont want to or they DO want to #because idk they enjoy being pissed bcs of a thing not turning out right and they dont mind how tedious it can get- #-and they enjoy sacrificing hours&days&months of their lives without a guarantee that anyone will appreciate it accordingly and itll pay of #its probably the resilience though #im weak like a dried twig both mentally and physically #this sounds like i never enjoyed drawing&writing ever. and to clarify thats far from true. i frequently enjoy it #just never frequently enough and consistently enough to actually make something more 'worthwhile' or linear #it's like a wind that comes & goes that i have no control over. #i try to keep telling myself that in the past i struggled to make anything 'bigger'....& know i even made animatic shitposts #this sounds so stupid god. an animatic shitpost being an achievement. #its not an art skill achievement its a fighting tooth and nail with my own self to actually finish it because its a struggle almost every- #-time achievement #what im saying is im trying to tell myself that i already improved. im doing more than i could have done in the past. #even if the process is so slow and i dont know when ill advance again #if ill advance again. i just gotta believe i guess? thank u parappa

I started an honor mode playthrough with probably the cutest tiefling in bg3 and I fuckn got killed during the Phase Spider Matriarch, so I decided to continue my save with dishonor because my character was just so damn cute. Well for some reason or another the game didn't?? Switch it to custom mode?? It's still honor mode??

So I'm either going to get those golden dice in the most dishonorable way possible or the game is just pulling on my leg and It's just honor mode without the reward.

#simon says #the character btw is a pink tiefling fae warlock/bard named Poetry #she's wearing purple and yellow clothes until I find pink dye #and she's wearing the volo bard reward clothes which make her look absolutely adorable?? #i just gotta draw her soon #she's also a Wyll romance. because I have yet to romance Wyll and I think warlock/bard is a GREAT combination to romance him with #it's funny because so far Astarion has been my main romance (i think 3 times now) #and he fuckin HATES her #Poetry is a little goodie two shoes who is not using those Illithid powers so everyone else loves her kindness and whimsy #and Astarion thinks she's the world's biggest pinkest killjoy #legit got angry at her and asked if it's her life purpose to ruin his fun #it's gonna take him a while and a lot of silly responses to get him to warm up to her #and i dont think the mild annoyance at her goody goody antics will go away #but yeah i just... love her so much #the other playthrough is another goody goody no illithid playthrough but he's a half-drow druid saving himself for Halsin #it's pretty funny as Poetry though because Shadowheart is already ready to start something together and Gale has started flirting #but she's only got eyes on the blade of Frontiers baby #oh and Poetry is also a dark urge playthrough who is avoiding her urges as much as possible #unless it's an unavoidable event she is surpressing that #Bhaal somehow spawned the world's cutest murder machine #anyways im gonna keep playing today because im tired (i drank last night) but I gotta draw poetry soon she's so cute

I'm probably in the minority with this but I wish the first 3 arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal were a two-part movie series (like they did with Eternal and Cosmos.).

This will probably make the Crystal fans seethe at the mouth bc God forbid anyone has an opinion different from them. But we probably would've avoided a lot of the embarrassing poor animation choices had they turned the material into two-part movies for each arc. They'd have more time to focus on the good bits that moved the story along. They'd have more time to also focus on the animation quality of the movies.

Maybe, as a result, they could've spent more time honing their character designs versus getting better after three FULL seasons of SMC.

Sorry not sorry, the designs in Eternal and Cosmos are way better than the poor attempts to copy Naoko's style that plagued the first 3 seasons of SMC.

#yeah i said it. i think the infinity arcs character design sucked balls #before anyone goes ugh youre a 90s fan ... all i have to say is: and? so what? i like versions of sailor moon and will criticize all of them #nothing is above criticism you dinguses #the musicals? the bandai ones are a YMMV in quality. the later ones are good but sometimes the songs suck. #manga? inconsistent artwork but i actually like that about the manga tbh - gave it a lot of 'action' in its line work. but 1d baddies #90s anime? theres a lot of filler. some of the filler is good. others are BORING. series does not grow w/ audience after 3rd season. #90s anime pt.2? the aging up of mamoru and him having a relationship with rei. ew ew ew. they ruined mamoru for me lol #pgsm? nothing. its perfect. oh wait one criticism is that they only did the first arc. le sigh. woudve loved to had more #crystal? questionable designs. questionable additions that deviated from the manga. kept in some stuff that sucked about the manga #crystal pt.2? like keeping in haruka kissing usagi to uh intimidate her??? really fucking dumb and huge yikes. the first 3 seasons r boring. #crystal pt.3? which is funny bc its far more condensed vs the 90s anime but somehow manages to be just as boring as the 90s filler eps. #manga addition: i like the manga and i still prefer it over crystal any day of the week. #we good? good. now keep your reply in the drafts #incel + crystal = cryscel fans #btw this is true w/ dragon ball super. they decided to adapt the movies into the series and the series ended up having 🥚 #🥚very questionable animation choices that were fixed but still didnt look that great. like id rather watch the movies they came from. #because if im going to get disappointed that they didnt give vegeta the final strike on freiza - it may as well look good. #still mad about that. vegeta deserved so much more and no one will never change my mind #vegeta being denied from killing freiza was the same as denying venus landing the final blow Beryl. YOU KNOW IM RIGHT.

[starlooove]

Like talon dick au, league jason/tim au, meta literally anybody else, bruce treating tim the worst because he came after Jason, etc.

These are all themes and ideas you could explore with the characters they actually apply to and it’s not lost on me that such a heavily queer fandom ignores black and brown people and women so much in favor of white men who are canonically cops, or have classist ideals, or whatever. It’s not even the aus themselves that are bad (well. To you ig) it’s the fact that it’s so obvious that ur yearning for a specific character or story that’s already there and just waiting to be explored in full but you can’t see poc as people enough to do it.

Anything you write about talon dick can be explored through cass, league cracker aus through Damián, meta anyones through Duke, tim being hated through Stephanie. These are themes that ALREADY exist but y’all are so entangled in making white men kiss that u ignore them it’s so fucking weird. Even that ‘trying c+ parent’ thing with Bruce where he knows he’s paranoid and controlling but he knows statistically it helps but he also wants his family to be happy? Or him being the only smart competent person ever (🫥) and backbone of the JL? That could be Babs! READ BIRDS OF PREY!

Anyways it’s just so disingenuous like first of all I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t read enough ONLY to include Duke; not only bc it’ll be someone who’s self admittedly never read anything but also bc Duke is THEE easiest character to get into rn. I don’t believe people who write the aus above and have the characters they actually apply to as cardboard cutouts in the background have any care for said characters and I don’t believe that people who project their own “leftist” ideals onto white characters before even THINKING about a woman believe shit. That’s just me tho idc

#like no on that last point #sorry if you’ve ever written or drawn smth that’s about the robins but not about Steph #I believe u have more internalized misogyny left in u than the average person #if you’ve talked about ppl being trained by assassins or having a hard time emotion due to parental expectations #and ur not talking about cass or Damián? #ur talking about shit u MADE UP (bc I’m not gonna stop saying that Janet and Jack are MADE UP) for tim? #I believe you have more internalized racism than the average person. #and so on and so forth #idc what u preach online like it’s so obvious that u have to put effort into seeing us as people #which like great first step but then u think ur done? u think going ‘oh yeah dukes here too!’ #or ‘Bruce WAS mean to Steph…which means she gets how tim feels!’ #and u think that’s it? ur full of shit #obligatory this is not about character specific blogs #well to an extent like ​if u run a blog where u talk about Jason and nothing else but Jason idc about not including Duke #however when ur making posts and art about literally everyone else as well or u talk about those beats or aus up above that y’all made up #*loud incorrect buzzer* #Also #I’m not saying Babs is the only competent member of BOP far from it #I’m saying that the dynamics y’all give Bruce with the league is literally u yearning for oracle. #also on the I don’t believe anyone who’s said they haven’t read Duke #that’s like. in unison with everything else going on #u saying u don’t read Duke ALONE is not enough for me not to believe u it’s everything else stacked on it too

So, I was lying down in bed, and I had the thought of "what if Halt was actually vulnerable with Will? Like, what if Will asked for help from Halt after they came home from Skandia, like mental help, and Halt responded with stories of his own. What would that sound like?" And I came up with this:

"When you've been through as much as I have, Will, you learn to find happiness in the mundane. I grew up basing my entire personality off two things. Eventually, I was forced to leave, and I had to completely re-learn my sense of self. I didn't have any access to what I used to think was my only purpose in life, and I was homeless in a brand new place with a brand new culture and a language that I only kinda knew. But, being homeless in Araluen, you have a lot of access to nature. And, when I was young, my love of nature was the second of two personality traits. So, I took that, and I ran with it. I would only stay in taverns when it was raining out, and I would spend as much time as I humanly could in the trees, by the river banks, climbing hills, making friends with foxes and birds, and generally just finding who I was. It took me way longer than I'm making it sound, trust me, but I think it helped me once I settled down in this cabin. You, Will, have grown used to trauma being the default, and the downtime feels uncomfortable to you. You need excitement and variety. The mundane makes you feel depressed. But trust me, Will, there is beauty and excitement everywhere here. You just need to find it. And I can help you, if you'd like, but I think it's best done on your own."

Yeah, this is a normal thing to do. Writing entire essays of one character providing comfort and support to another character all while lying flat down on my bed and then retyping it all out onto my phone. I am a sane and normal human being who totally isn't way too obsessed with writing for her own good.

@an1d10t sure I'll tag you. How boutcha read this? Lol

#rangers apprentice #halt o'carrick #will treaty #ok but Y'ALL #i think we sometimes forget that Halt was first found by Crowley just hanging out in a tavern #we have no description of previous homes #if anything we have the opposite #heavy implications that he was just. homeless. #and I think that we could totally talk about that more???? #it doesn't need to be in extreme detail but like #he has to have at least SOME habits that spawn solely from him being homeless in the past #right? #also Will getting used to the 24/7 trauma and being uncomfortable in stable and healthy situations #like thats so fricking looked over I feel like #I've not seen a single person talk about that so far #oh and the whole idea of “what if Halt was vulnerable” is so fun to write #because then you need to pay attention to and work in other aspects of his personality #I feel like it's a great like. writing exercise almost #it makes sure you understand the whole personality of a character #sorry for rambling oops #Halt O'Dad

theres something abt suzaku and lelouch that makes for really nice atmospheric dreams for me i think it’s a big part of why cg has stuck with me lolll. very fitting actually bc i originally watched it because i kept having dreams about it and got curious…

#it’s interesting to see which things i get into end up being inspiration for memorable or atmospheric dreams…hxh for example i have many #fond dreams of from back when i thought about it more often and deeply and 999 i have a few dreams that stuck with me that are mostly about #the plot or events of the game rather than the characters like usual #as well as being about pretending i don’t know everything about the characters and events to blend in with the cast lolll #but dungeon meshi which i like about a thousand times more than cg hasn’t had that many great dreams so far #i can only think of one that’s really stuck with me although i have definitely had dm ish dreams and i remember them #maybe it’s just because i only read it about 3 months ago now but still it’s interesting to me #pip speaks #dream diary #oh btw the one that stuck with me was basically pov you’re kabru working as a server at a cafe where they arrange desserts in front of you #and having to figure out whos order was whose based on observing the guests. it was very fun like the restaurant video games i used to play #and senshi was the owner of the restaurant giving kabru tips since he was new #i wish i could share the vivid dream/good dream memory ability bc whenever i talk about it ppl are like yeah i don’t dream or #i don’t dream about characters i like. and i really like when it happens so i want more people to be able to do it. sadly i have no idea how

hmm i think another thing i like abt kencen is chess should be played on a smaller stage. now i am an intimate staging truther for almost every play so i may be biased but that doesn't make it less true for chess. like i get the appeal of the big sets bc of the way they travel thru location and our initial reaction upon literally visualizing chess on a stage, but i think it makes it so easy for characters to get swallowed and for the stage to feel very empty. which may work like. conceptually but i think in practice it just limits the actor's effect. & i know that you can argue that chess is a show that needs to get by partially on spectacle bc of the quality of the book but i disagree just choose a good book. or make up for it w staging and strong character choices. it's not like it has a shallow plot bc it really doesn't it just doesn't have a well resolved one. which is actually another argument for it to be in an intimate space bc it will make the audience feel more personally invested in the characters rather than the story and will care what happens to them even if they leave with questions (does this distinction make sense?). i'm also not saying that chess Couldn't be done well on a big stage i just think most of the time it isn't

#i was thinking abt this w long beach a lot #they had Great staging i loved a lot of it and i loved the use of space #but then the camera would zoom out and i would go oh they're so far away they're tiny. #which again like! conceptually is interesting right w the whole pawns in the greater game of chess thing but mostly i just can't see them #and that stage wasn't even that big! it was just deep #iii am also just not the biggest fan of most proscenium staging and i have to be honest with that #i KNOW that it's the easiest way to fit a lot of people into a space and that sometimes the practical considerations of needing to sell mor #- tickets is just the reality of the situation #but i think. at least for the current state of theater and the way it's viewed by the general public. it does literally no favors #and it's also like. a story predicated on you sympathizing with characters who are universally making bad decisions #and i just find that tends to read better when the audience can see the detail #this isn't actually in praise of kencen in general btw staged concert is like. sort of generous for parts of that show but i think that the #- smaller stage saved parts of that as well #i lied this is actually in praise of kencen staging bc i'm looking at the video to make sure i'm not crazy and #not only is it physically smaller but they used the other actors to close the space and force the feel #chess #ted talks

So—

Being eighteen was great, can't wait to see what being nineteen will show!!

#no but truly #18th was the best year of my life so far #despite the insane levels of stress and torturous academic workload that going through the finals was #i started talking to people after years of proper communication with only my sister #for a brief while I was even brave enough to share my thoughts with the world #it was delightful #i made friends on my own which is something I've never been able to do before #i met you guys #my dearly beloved mutuals!!!! <33 #i made art and started feeling something about it again #i created so much I didn't even think I was capable of something like that #me and my friends created entire worlds in our minds #as well as loads of characters which i love dearly!! #i mean it's not really mine to call my achievement but it feels so incredibly special to be a part of something like that #i reignited genuine interest inside of myself towards life and even picked up a couple of new special interests #i read and watched so many great stories #oh yeah I finished school so good riddance to that part of my life hehe #i enrolled into one of the best universities in the country which still feels insanely unreal #took a gap year #me and my sister travelled on our own and were able to finally meet our internet friends which is the flaking best thing in the world #worked two jobs with an occasional third one to save up a bit #i'll be moving out of my home city this year which scares the shit out of me but is still so so amazing #there were and still are tragedies around me that split my heart in half with fury and despair #and I feel unfairly privileged to be granted so much joy in my own life #so yeah it's been one hell of a year #sorry for getting so insufferably emotional but I love all this so unbelievably much #i love you all folks :')

[fishpiracy]

the thing is that with crocodiles plan you really felt the despair his actions caused but enels plan to murder everyone in the sky does not affect me at all. like why should i care these people are boring

#im not saying enel is a bad villain im just. its impressive how its been like 40 episodes and i have not made any connections w/ these guys #skypiea has great themes and an interesting story but the author is really racist towards natives so theyre barely people. #compare wyper to cobra like the former is way more demonized and brutal. orientalism is also an issue in arabasta but this is worse #ep 179 #skypiea #this arc started off really really fun and then got boring really really fast #enel is literally the only Fun character so far. oh and half of the priests + holy
