Broke: Mai is masculine, Ty Lee is feminine

Woke: Mai is dark feminine and Ty Lee is light feminine

#honestly #toph's the one who's not much girly #otherwise all of atla girls are girly #they're all girly and badass and i love it #usually the strong female character is masculine and they do it in a way that derides femininity #atla subverts it by having toph who's the tomboy #and all the other girls who are feminine #another piece of media that did the tomboy right #without deriding girly girls while writing a tomboy #is arcane #with vi #no one points out that she's masculine #her femininity is never questioned #and you have mel and caitlyn being girly and badass #and vi herself never looks down on women who're feminine #ty lee is obviously is girly #but mai and azula are too #i hate that that fandom thinks mai in particular is masculine #like damn y'all haven't seen masc presenting women have ya? (doesn't matter straight or queer) #atla #avatar the last airbender #arcane

Jac Rayner finally putting some form of official Sixth Doctor timeline in Six's 40th anniversary story BUT making it deliberately convoluted and nonsensical for a joke is simultaneously the funniest and most infuriating thing.

#sixth doctor #big finish #I have considered the timeline it presents and I don't think I will be adopting it jlksdjf #He travels with Frobisher Peri Mel AND Evelyn multiple times each?? #He lists Mari and Mathew and that one time he met Jamie and Zoe in the past??? #it might be based on one random online guy's timeline which puts Instruments of Darkness in the middle of Evelyn's travels to make it fit?? #I still can't figure out what they meant be some parts of it jdkslfjj #It's a no from me #my posts #six #also Quin Dilemma had its moments but it didn't work as well in execution as it did in premise which is a shame

this isn't news or anything but it continues to be funny to me how much of any given character design is so often carried by things like hair styles or, like, a silly hat

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #gnome #wizard #obviously this isn't as dramatic as Aubree With Long Hair (for example) but #sometimes I'll draw mel with her cap off or with a different hair style and be like... did I do her face wrong.... #but then I add back in her usual presentation and go 'oh nope it's literally just the styling' lmao #my OCs #melliwyk #vale walkers #dungeons and doodles

i would love to see tessa and mo do battle of the blades together

i think mitch marner would have a great time doing botb too

#gosh i havent watched that show in a decade #i feel like me watching that show as a kid should have been taken as foreshadowing or something for present mel #tessa virtue #morgan rielly #mitch marner #toronto maple leafs

What if we organised an event where we made fake collectible cards based on our OCs?

#Mel rambles #like you know how writblr had that fun trend of making comic sans powerpoints of their stories? #or the one where they made fake netflix presentations of their stories? #what if we made an event with that same kind of idea for OCs #collectible cards sound fun #no idea what we'd do then tho #like we couldn't make a game with them so it'd really just be collectibles #that you can't actually collect #yeah ok I didn't think this through

mel c magdalene made me realize what was missing from my magdalene design and it's that she's not fucking jacked. it's crucial to her character

#🧅 #literally my takeaway from jcs2012 was mary magdalene's arms. yeah those guys were there too i guess #i think hers might be my favorite portrayal of mary #like. not just because she's jacked i just really liked how jc2012 worked with magdalene #she felt more fleshed out. and i <3 yvonne elliman in this role i always will but lets be so for real in the 1973 movie mary was a sexy lam #character except instead of sexy she was like. sopping wet cat lamp character #i mean i think she was also sexy. but that's beside the point this post is not about how attractive i find yvonne elliman #or mel c #well it kind of is about how attractive i find mel c #whatever. my point is it was the 70s and she was a female character. so like. you get it ! #and i feel like a lot of the time magdalene is very girlbossified in a way that makes her very one dimensional #without EVER her appearing masculine of course because god forbid the one female character does not appear to the male gaze #(well originally female character anyways. today genderbend casting is a thing and it fucks) #it's either she's a Girl Disciple (no further elaboration) or she's like. a girlboss stone hearted biker gang leader leather jacket queen #(no actual further elaboration but her one 'ooh i love this man and i dont know how to show it' solo tricks you into thinking there is) #while 2012 magdalene somehow seems much more well rounded to me. #they let her be herself more. idk. that's how i interpreted it at least. in my mind. #it's like. i feel many other marys i've seen are described by how they treat jesus (and sometimes judas) #but this one still feels present even when jesus is not around. or he is but she's not interacting with him. #again this is a very specific interpretation that clicked in my brain im not saying that jcs2012 like. did some groundbreaking feminist #portrayal of magdalene. but yknow ! #she also didn't acknowledge judas' existence once while he had created some weird one sided beef with her which was. very funny to me #literally did not waste a glance at him.

I know this may sound petty, but I think you're the one who will be able to understand this frustration: how come any post about special characters is always titled 'special little guy' can't girls be special?

No, I literally complain about this all the time (mostly to myself, but. you know).

First of all, there are so many posts that don't mean "guy" in the sense of "hey you guys" as a general catch-all term. They specify "boy" or "man" or "him" or you can very clearly infer from context that they are talking specifically about men. And I just...you know that women can be these types of characters too, right. Women can be sympathetic villains or have Problems™ that inspire the "I can fix them" impulse or any of the other things people usually say about men. It's not hard to say like. "Character" or "Person" or "Blorbo" or even "guy (gender neutral)."

As always, this wouldn't bug me so much if there was a similar level of popular posts circulating about the women, but. There very much is not. (And also plenty of the posts that are exclusively about the women get overtaken by discussions of male characters.)

#I miss the victimsofyaoi poll. that was a good one. the pollrunner Got It™ and so did most of the people who sent in asks #mel screams about fictional ladies again #idk. I got a lot of shit for being a girl while I was growing up #and I was a woman in the entertainment industry for a while and. fucking hell that was rough. #like...no. ignoring or disparaging female characters is not literally the same as mistreating real-life women. #but it IS a reflection of the misogyny present in society and people straight-up refuse to ever acknowledge this #I know I've said this before but for all the talk of how fandom is 'revolutionary' and 'an escape' it does not feel like either of those #things when I still have to see/deal with the same misogynistic rhetoric and behavior that I've faced in real life #ALSO because a certain segment of fake activists require me to say this EVERY TIME: this posts is not for the t___fs. trans women are women #I should NOT have to keep clarifying that but they keep finding my posts when this comes up #multi t(ASK)ing

this lor interaction... the fact regardless of their reason to not be present ahri grew up alone and had to fend for herself from the start...

on that note. a week or two ago i swapped out some info in my about to list my gender as genderqueer as a super low stakes way of feeling it out lol

ive spent pretty much my whole life w/ my gender on a sliding scale from "agender" to "gnc cis girl" and while i definitely still feel more connected to the former than the latter rn i like. really appreciate genderqueer as a term that captures every stage of that

#dear mel #i know its okay to change ur identity but i kind of am tired of feeling like i need a new way to describe my gender every year and a half #i like having a word that feels like its described me at every point in the last fifteen years & will for the forseeable future #if i wanna get more specific and granular at any point in time well i can do that too #and i also feel like the idea of queering gender is like. central to how i relate to it #how else do i describe feeling overall genderless but also such bitter disappointment at the idea of my gnc traits being explained away #as oh im not Really a Girl TM which is why i dont want these things girls want #like no. even if i was a cis woman i would not want to be a mother or a wife and i would want to dress masc and present masc/androgynous #which is i think why i have such issues w applying the idea of dysphoria to myself? #because for me its so much more complicated than (x) trait is associated with (y) gender im assumed to be and am not #and i know dysphoria is more complicated than that too but thats often how i see conceptualized and i dont want it applied that way to me y

The Kendrick vs Drake rap beef is so funny bc people thought that Kendrick wouldn’t have been able to hit back harder than Drake did. When Kendrick is one of the most acclaimed and respected lyricists of this generation, and Drake is generally clowned on for being a generic pop-rap singer. Like what did ppl expect.

Also Kendrick releasing an even more scathing diss shortly after he released his first track is also so funny. Drake didn’t even respond yet but Kendrick had to diss him more. Like Drake was already bodied but Kendrick still had to beat on a dead body. So wonderfully excessive.

#I am biased bc I like Kendrick more #but ngl Drake’s diss was solid #his bars didn’t wow me a lot but they were still bars #but it was still good imo #Kendrick’s diss was like cracking me up tho #like he’s clearly more lyrically talented #with how he presented information in an entertaining and hard hitting way #anyways I’m not qualified to talk about this #I don’t know much about rap tbh #but I dooooo love rap beef #Mel mutters #rap #music #rap beef #kendrick vs drake

i have so much work to do for finals season which is frustrating bc on the one hand i'm very glad all my classes have project-based finals where i get to be creative instead of just doing an exam or a paper. however. i have a bad habit with every project-based final ever of accidentally getting an idea that's way too ambitious and creating more work for myself than i need to do

however this semester even tho i fell into that exact same trap my two most elaborate final projects each involve 1. editing a video essay which contains an interview i did with paul bellini and at least 45 seconds of it are bellini talking about why he thinks i have great potential as a comedian, and 2. editing a ten minute reel of the documentary footage i got on tour with scott. which of course involves rewatching various videos of me and scott being extremely chaotic together. so i stay winning ig

#my other finals include ''powerpoint presentation detailing the historical significance of mel brooks the producers'' #and ''live sketch show that i actually don't have a significant role in but that's fine i have a different sketch class next semester'' #(this sketch class was technically ''creating characters and solo performances'' and i really wish i could've done more) #(but also that whole interview-footage-debacle drained so much of my creative energy so sometimes doing the bare minimum is self care) #so i don't have a solo piece in the show. but i do get to say my favorite line in the whole show in a group sketch which is great #and i did sign up to perform an aubrey monologue in a sketch show in a suburb of boston next week #which is gonna be super interesting bc i've been looking to do more performing outside of my college #bc i've found that i don't think college kids are actually my target audience??? or at the very least i want to perform to a wider audience #it's frustrating bc for that show i have to trim the monologue down to 3 minutes but it's the tightest monologue i have and it's 5 minutes #so trimming it down feels like a game of jenga since it's so tight lmao #but honestly even if the performance bombs i'm mostly doing this so i can tell bellini about it lmao #he's so supportive of my comedy and he's been such a great help with my aubrey monologues i feel like this is bellini homework lmao #anyway i probably won't post the video essay publicly bc it's not the style of video essays i want to make #and it's too specific to the class it's for #but if people are interested in watching it i'll send you the vid when it's done #and for the tour video i'll probably post that or at least some version of it #bc that's just gonna be a fun teaser of ''here's the level of behind-the-scenes content you'll be getting from this doc!!'' #and also a fun way to be like. audiences don't know me nearly as well as they know scott #but they will definitely know me by the end of this bc there are so many wild interactions i have on camera of me and scott being chaotic #anyway this post was mostly to organize my thoughts of what i still have to do this week #i am so ready to be done with school lmao i'm gonna be spending a full month in toronto this summer #and it's shaping up to be such an exciting time i can't wait

Every time I re-listen to Archive 81 Season 2 Episode 7 I feel like my brain is going to shatter because it's abundantly clear that Rat had no intentions of leaving with Dan and in saying he would 'if' Dan left, it nails the final nail in the coffin for me thinking Rat just wanted to convert Dan because he's clearly very lonely and misguided, but most importantly, actively detrimental to the point he was almost convinced that he could get Dan to leave his personhood behind

Rat took advantage of Dan and I struggle to see how this could be read any other way

#mel talks a81 #like there are so many threads and ideas present in this one episode that I'm always drawn back to it #but I still have no idea what the fuck is Rat's deal is and whether or not the takes are see are truly something to get upset over #or it could be the uh #well. #iykyk #also do not make any comments about c/ults and their survivors as I am one #so I really don't need to hear it ! #but if you want to give your thoughts on it in a respectful manner 👀 #I'd be happy to discuss with fellow survivors how this could shift perspective of Rat's actions
