#raise attention

[taikanyohou]

found this super interesting. this person below is an acting coach and scriptwriter that's worked on/working on: kinnporsche (2022), only friends (2023), playboyy (2023) and mansruang (2023):

#this is so interesting to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! #only friends #playboyy #kinnporsche #mansruang #faiza talks #like obvs gmmtv can only take it so far and push certain boundaries. but in playboyy all the boundaries have been pushed. #so yeah playboyy gives me so much hope now that its going to be SO SO SO good and maybe very controversial but its a topic that needs #discussing. #god i LOVE how asian queer media is out there PUSHING boundaries now. we've come a long long way. #and i mean not that we havent had these themes explored in thai/asian queer media before - we have. #but that was in a time when social media wasnt so prominent and instant as opposed to now. so yeah. #drawing attention and sharing content about it makes it a lot more easier to raise awareness about it.

More reluctant king sabo au! I realized recently that this au is an excellent excuse for drawing sabo in pretty outfits that he would be absolutely miserable in :)

#one piece au #sabo #king sabo au #I have a very specific idea of sarie in my head. #in which she is largely a product of her upbringing #entitled but due to being given everything she wanted when she was raised #sheltered and poorly socialized because she was always above those who lived outside the castle #Sarie has the potential to be a good foil to sabo. I think their dynamic would be so interesting #because while I don’t think sabo is interested in love at all #I also don’t think sarie understands what love is outside of the fairytales she is allowed to read #and she must have such a twisted idea of love from growing up in the royal family where I’m sure there must have been fights over heirs #not to mention she must have so many people vying for her attention if whoever marries her is apparently third to the throne #it definitely must have been impressed upon her since she was young that she doesn’t marry for herself #or maybe she realizes this and is waiting for a fairytale knight in shining armor to take her away. idk #I do think that to her sabo is an odd superposition of a prince and a knight #I don’t think she ever really falls in love with him. she’s just so alienated from the concept of love and #someone who actually cares about her as a person that sabo being the first one floors her and convinces her she’s in love

i use this blog for fandom purposes only, but i can’t not post about this today.

you probably haven’t heard, but one year ago (28/2/2023), in Tempi (Greece), happened the worst train collision in the country’s history. one of the two trains was full of university students returning to their homes to celebrate a national holiday with their families.

57 of these people never got to their destination. 57 innocent people lost their lives because two trains were in the same train track, and nobody noticed. in greece, in 2023.

some of the people who were presumed dead were never even found. some people were identified through body parts. and guess what? no one has paid yet. not even the minister of transport, who signed a resignation after the crash, but still got added into the parliament during the may 2023 elections.

the same person who, one month before the crash, was biting people’s heads off because they ‘dared to question the safety of the train tracks’ after some workers filed a complaint about the unsafe conditions of the train controls.

everyone who travelled by train in greece before the accident is alive BY LUCK. because the fucking comms were not working. it wasn’t just a temporary issue, they had not been working for YEARS. and let me remind you, the government did nothing to prevent this from happening . how are we, greek citizens, supposed to feel safe in this country when we’re alive by luck??

and no one is talking about this. please raise awareness. the people who lost their lives need JUSTICE.

this is murder and not an ‘accident’

rest in peace to the 57 souls who went so unfairly. we will never forget.

controversial opinion perpollo should be way sassier. i don't even ship them and i think this is how it should go (with percy in his mid 20s of course):

percy constantly has self doubt issues and doesn't think that he's good enough. but when he's with apollo, he thinks "ah yes this asshole is enough of a loser to vibe with my loser vibes."

with anyone else he thinks "what if i mess up and this person leaves me?"

with apollo he thinks "yeah this is just a fling, he's a fucking asshole?" and then sprays water at apollo's head to make a rainbow. but the "fling" just never ends and both of them are too idiotic to do something about it.

and if percy's in his mid 30s-40s when perpollo happens its

percy: "you're good looking enough to sleep with but your past actions have me unimpressed." and "i've worked too hard to be emotionally well adjusted for you to come barging in with 4000 years of issues"

then percy accidentally negs apollo into being obsessed with him.

#perpollo #pjo #percy jackson #apollo pjo #apollo lester #i feel like when i saw the ship name i had a vibe for it but when i clicked into some fics the vibe was completely different #and of course people can write what they want and what they want from apollo is very different from what i personally see in apollo #i just think perpollo is probably a hilarious ship with untapped comedic implications #of god who's a little obsessed and a mortal demigod who's very very unimpressed #also come one dad bod percy in his 40s raising an eyebrow at whatever the fuck apollo's doing to get his attention #and when it inevitably embarrasses apollo percy's just like are you winning son #he would never intentionally neg another person he just deep down is so unimpressed and kind of hates the gods

if he doesn’t react like this when he gets to see a picture of you; drop his sorry ass

#this is the standard #if a guy can’t deliver on this i’m out #honestly i won’t ever deal with a one word response to a picture of me ever again #you can shove your ‘cute’ or ‘pretty’ up your ass #if he doesn’t swoon over you like this he does not deserve your attention #do not settle for anything less than this #he got to see half of my face for twenty seconds since it was just a playful snapshot of me getting fancy ice tea #and this is the reaction #raise your standards all the way #no it wasn’t a dirty picture

On the subject of Bernie though, he really is a master of political theater because he knew his resolution to stop all foreign aid (all funding meaning including humanitarian aid) to Israel contingent on the kind of investigation that takes months being done within 30 days was going to be impossible to pass but it would make a good pair of headlines when it was introduced and immediately died.

He is not playing politics; he’s playing PR and that’s why he’ll never ever win a vote but he will keep showing up in your feed.

#Bernie sanders #he set up that resolution to fail to prove a point and that’s incredibly cynical of him #I just hope he had a reason for doing it that wasn’t just Raising Awareness #because there is actually a bill being put forward to limit arms to Israel #and this vote takes attention away from that

Something funny i thought of

Taking place post of the (first) wizarding war, everyone survives but the bond that linked James and Lily during the war is starting to dissolve. So they decide to go to marriage counseling. Their counselor? Pandora Rosier.

Bad news for Lily because she starts looking forward to the counseling session, not because she wants to fix her marriage, but because she looks forward to seeing Pandora. Who she may or may not have a slight crush on. She feels terrible because James also seems to look forward to the sessions, and Lily thinks it's because he actually wants to fix their marriage.

But James on the other hand, nah, he instead, looks forward to seeing his best mate's younger brother, Regulus, who enters at the end of all their sessions to drop off lunch or a drink for Pandora. He feels guilty because Lily seems to be excited about the sessions while he fantasizes about Regulus.

Shit news for both of them? They (James and Lily) both think Pandora and Regulus are dating.

(Spoilers they aren't)

#just imagine james and lily booking extra sessions like #“yep totally wanting to fix our marriage” #pandora sitting at the session and being like “i can treat u so much better bby” to lily subtly #and give james some raised brows every so often #reg isn't paying attention #hes just tryna make sure his bestie is taking care of herself #marauders #marauders era #regulus black #regulus arcturus black #james potter #james fleamont potter #james x regulus #jegulus #starchaser #lily j evans #lily jane evans #lily evans #pandora rosier #pandora lovegood #redpanda #pandalily my beloveds #pandalily #sunseeker #the marauders #these bitches gay #dead gay wizards #regulus and pandora

do u have any navi thoughts from your oot replay

i've been waiting to answer this until I actually beat the game in my current playthrough because navi is another one of those characters that i think of in like a "set" with several other characters who serve relatively the same thematic purpose; in this case that purpose being the "mother" character, and i wanted to have all the characters in that set fresh in my mind. it's notable that while oot shows us very clear and consistent instances of the ways in which the adults of hyrule fail to protect their children, there ARE several adults who DO go out of their way to both oppose ganondorf and protect and nurture the children under their care. All of these characters are adult women, and all of them explicitly help the children out of some sort of parental responsibility or sense of duty towards them. in this group I include link's late mother, impa, nabooru, and navi.

all 4 mother characters, despite being adults or adult-coded, reject the inaction mentality which characterizes other adults in the game. they become either direct supports or shields to their children from the conflict the world has to offer them, and they are always explicitly punished for their interference--link's mother is killed trying to protect her son, impa's village is burned, nabooru is brainwashed. The mother's fatal flaw is that she will protect her child above all else, even in a world in which children cannot truly be protected. however, with the exception of link's mother, these characters manage to persist even in the face of her punishment, and this is where I think navi becomes the exemplary character.

Navi, after a lifetime of being link's only support system, the only adult in his life he could truly, consistently count on, receives her punishment at the hands of ganondorf--in the final battle, she is pushed out. she is unable to reach her child. she cannot protect him. However, BECAUSE link has grown up with her at his side, he is strong enough to take ganondorf down. and when ganon rises again, navi is there to support link, promising not to leave his side, and the intuitive targeting of that battle (a mechanic which navi is inherently tied to!!) makes it a cinch to win. Navi, and the other mothers we meet, are a reminder to the player that the world doesn't HAVE to be the way it is. Their persistence when punished, their insistence that their children ought to be protected, is a reminder that good adults do exist, and that good adults raise good children. link and zelda are able to win in spite of the adults who refused to help them, but also BECAUSE of the adults who DID. It's a reinforcement of the core theme of oot--that childlike idea that the world SHOULD be good and fair and if it isn't, it should be changed until it is. The mothers of oot are examples of what the world COULD be, reminders that it is possible to grow up without losing hope or growing bitter, and they are examples of the next step for the children they've raised to change the word--to continue fighting even in the face of punishment, to refuse inaction, and to foster that same hope and persistence in the generations to come.

#one thing i've really been noticing this time around is the specific way in which navi's targeting works #because even though other 3d games have that targeting mechanic navi's targeting is noticeably different #in two ways. the first being that she specifically targets weak spots in enemies almost as if she is pointing them out to link #and the second being that she is capable of targeting things link himself doesn't see #whether it be invisible enemies or triggers that are out of his reach or scarecrow points or whatever #it's really reminiscent to me of the way you teach problem solving skills to a kid. you see them struggling with something and beginning to #get frustrated and you say 'hey let's look around. do you see any solutions?' and if they can't see the solution themself you might point #and say 'hey what's that?' just to get their attention on it and help facilitate that train of thought for them #because like in most other games targeting is sort of assumed to be link's own intuition in battle #and therefore it will usually allow you to focus on one enemy within a swarm of them but it won't explicitly light up the weak spot for you #navi does that for link because she's essentially the mother teaching her kid how to problem-solve. #and when she's taken away in the final battle link is able to fight anyway BECAUSE she put so much time and effort into raising him #that he no longer needs her to facilitate that problem-solving process. he already knows how to beat ganondorf #because he's done it with her before. and that's exactly the mother's role in her child's life #protect him and raise him as best you can so that when you can no longer be by his side he isn't afraid. #foster that sense of justice and encourage him to keep fighting to change the world even when it seems unchangeable. #god. ocarina of fucking time #zelda analysis #asks

"Well now, my dear, didn't you once say that a life without danger is a life not worth living?"

Moist patted her hand and said, "Well, Spike, I married you, didn't I?"

"You couldn't resist, could you? It's like a drug. You're not happy unless someone is trying to kill you, or you're in the center of some other kind of drama, out of which, of course, the famous Moist von Lipwig will jump to safety at the very last moment. Is it a disease? Some kind of syndrome?"

Moist put on his meek face as only husbands and puppies can do and said, "Would you like me to stop? I will if you say so."

There was silence until Adora Belle said, "You bastard, you know I can't do that. If you stopped all of that you wouldn't be Moist von Lipwig!"

Across the Spider-verse is 10/10 in animation, story, voice acting, and soundtrack (MILD spoilers)

To all the people who “Spider-Man can’t be black!” in 2018, Imma need y’all to hold that L indefinitely. Due to the concept of the multiverse, Spider-Man is literally all races, creeds, and backgrounds and it’s canon. There’s Indian, Muslima, paraplegic, Latino, and 4 different black Spider-people. The movie is 2hrs and 20-ish minutes, so PLEASE don’t bring your toddler cuz their attention span is gonna plummet an hour in. The plot of this movie is for the people who saw the first movie, so it’s matured with the original audience. Miguel O’Hara wants to preserve the multiverse (saving billions of lives), meaning each Spider-person’s story has to play out the same (get bit by a spider, your uncle dies, police captain dies). Miles Morales was NEVER supposed to be Spider-man (remember his spider came from Universe 42). Miguel’s all like “you’re not supposed to be Spider-Man but since you ARE Spider-Man, your police captain dad needs to die to keep your story consistent with the rest of us.” Miles response is “Hol’ up, you want me to sit back and let my dad die? I know these deaths make us who we are, but if we have the power to save people, then we should do the responsible thing and save them.” Both Miguel and Miles think they’re doing the responsible thing (letting canon play out vs saving lives regardless of canon). Miguel is lawful evil, believing the needs of the many outweigh the few. Miles’s very existence disrupts Spider-man canon, but he IS Spider-Man, whether he was fated to be or not. Also, Miguel keeps saying that the Spot is the huge threat to the multiverse then spends 15 minutes chasing down Miles, diverting a good portion of his resources to capturing him. HELLO, I thought you said the Spot >> Miles so why are you focusing on one kid and not the multiverse-ending superbeing?

Very cool and not heartbreaking at all for the PJO show to emphasize that Percy is an outsider not only because he's new to the whole demigod thing, but also because he doesn't know the rules of being a traumatized kid with all the daddy/mommy issues possible

#Percy all the time: wait I treated them with kindness and didn't do anything bad #why am I not being treated kindly in return #absolutely everyone else: why on earth would you be entitled to basic human decency? #(and for the kids it's 1000% down to trauma and how they've been raised #so many of the foster kiddos I work with do the same thing #they either have to be so good and perfect (Clarisse and annabeth) that they can't be ignored which works until the parent moves #the goalpost and they're left in the dust with a perfect report card that doesn't get them a second glance #or they have to be so bad that their parents have to intervene (Luke) because #and say it with me folks #bad attention is the same as good attention if it's the only kind you ever get!! #watching this and revisiting TLT specifically has been crazy because they're kids who have been removed from home at their core #that's what our main cast of demigods are #all the year-round kids are removed from home and Percy's ability to go back home and love it just as much as he loves camp is something #that separates him throughout the series #he has a safe place to land during the TLO summer and he's using it and no one else seems to have that #Percy has a stupidly hard life but he has a home base to go to and most of those kids can't even comprehend that as an option #Percy's home is his greatest strength and it'll also forever be something that sets him apart from his peers #I just have thoughts on pjo and foster kids guys #silence emily #percy jackson #pjo tv #I'm arguing this isn't even a spoiler because it's been a running theme. fight me

Never take me to an art museum

#Mind I am well into my 20s. I'm a grown man #But ill still turn towards anyone im with and make the soyjak pose #My mom finds it hilarious and thats why I keep doing it. So many pictures of me are just me pointing at paintings #People have actually gotten mad at me but only in art markets tbh #Pointed at a illustration of like some nakey guy and said 《weewee》 and sent my accompanying friends into fits of giggles #Which called the attention of the artist who just saw 5 girls laughing their butts off and one idiot standing there pointing with a grin #They didnt say anything but they looked pretty mad #Im sorry if theres some deeper meaning behind your nakey art - my brain was raised on MAD and sugar

It means so much to me that Kate (Hawkeye) is one of the first people that gets "recruted".

#The MCU was not nice to Clint...they could have handeled his character so much better but instead he was always on the sideline... #he was there but...if he woulndt be there not much of a difference... #he had his little moments...the talk to wanda in aou. the whole soulstone thing...shoting loki from the sky... #but he was always in the background...he deserved better... #it always feeled like: oh a dude with bow & arrows...this is not doing much... #but kate now being recruted as the first person...this means a lot...Hawkeye being recruted as the first person...it is so emotional for me #it means the world to me... #give hawkeye more attention :) #who ever decided it should be kate deserves a raise... #i want to hold that persons hand... #i hope that now with this new generation hawkeye gets the love that this character deserves... #i mean the importance between the comics & the mcu is so big... #in the comics hawkeye is such a big deal....& i just hope that we get it now in the mcu as well... #the marvels spoilers #the marvels #kate bishop #hawkeye

update from my last post: i am currently 90% of the way through Making Money and i think i’m actively losing my mind. in a good way but i’m losing it nonetheless. i’m literally a different person now. genuinely can’t believe that when i woke up yesterday i hadn’t even read Going Postal. i think i died and came back RIGHT

#i swear i’ll make more posts later that make my thoughts coherent but right now all i can think about #is the fact that moist literally got the ghost of the professor to help him command the golems by #promising to let him haunt a strip club for the rest of eternity #and don’t even get me started on the……trial…….it’s not even a trial it’s a circus #especially considering the fact that mr bent showed up LITERALLY DRESSED AS A CLOWN #please don’t pay attention to the fact that it’s currently 1:36 AM in my time zone #making money is currently taking over my life #god. #i think i’m losing my mind #vin speaks #discworld #going postal #making money #raising steam #terry pratchett #gnu terry pratchett
