#star stew

[panstarry]

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

#pan draws #pan designs #zine #risograph #i'm not gonna lie i don't love how this one turned out OTL and i think the wording is not done but well... a deadline is a deadline #i'll probably touch it up and rewrite it in the future but who's to say.. i need to stew on how to articulate my feelings coherently #anyway my transness is so closely tied to my experience as a person of color. the current political climate is so fucking ass to exist in #but more than anything i am pissed off at white punks & leftists & trans people that refuse to have meaningful solidarity with us. #so yeah anyway. i was stuck on this one forever and only really got anywhere with it after attending 2 punk noise shows in a row where they #actually used their fucking platform to do like. anything. our struggles are connected you need to careeeee YOU HAVE TO CARE........ ok bye #tdov #trans day of visibility #<- i was sitting on uploading this for a while so the stars kind of aligned for it to be today huh.... happy tdov i love you

Ok i’ve read a few codywan fics of sad desert hermit obi wan going back in time and trying to fix things but what i really wanna read is longish haired teenage obi wan going to the future where all his friends are dead and supposedly he is too.

Obi wan only lasts a few weeks before he ends up imprisoned by inquisitors, because good as he is, obi wan hasn’t a clue whats going on.

The food is rubbish and the torture isn’t great but at least he gets to meet a nice torguta lady during his escape.

Is ahsoka freaked out at having her grandmaster alive and now younger than her? Yes, yes she is but she ends up taking him back to the rebel base where a lot of very surprised people are waiting including one completely devastated commander Cody.

Having Obi wan back would be a dream come true for him normally but there is a difference between adult Obi wan who Cody was completely in love with and teenage Obi Wan who is forced to live with the knowledge that he is the survivor of a genocide.

Cody is almost happy that his Obi Wan is dead because he doesn’t think he could ever have looked him in the eye again.

Obviously nothing can happen between the two of them since Obi wan is like 16 and Cody is physically and mentally like 60 but theres a lot of guilt and regret on Cody’s part and a lot of confused pining on Obi Wan’s.

He has no clue why his romantic interests have changed from passionate blonde teenage girl to a depressed elderly man who tries to avoid him while also maintaining strangely long eye contact and honestly he’s not sure he wants to know.

There is a lot of guilt involved in trying to send Obi Wan back in time. Because they have to do it. Obi Wan Kenobi is an important historical figure and taking him out of the time stream could have disastrous consequences. They hope that he can change the past for the better, knowing what he knows now but there is a chance he won’t remember any of it and they are sending him back in time just for his own battalion to murder him.

Meanwhile Sad Desert Hermit Obi wan is getting really weird vibes from the force.

Theo often ministers to Hyden's various wants and needs, and displays an unusual patience for him, considering Theo's typically prickly (at best) demeanor. However, I feel I should note that his attentiveness isn't borne not out of some urge to subordinate himself, or Hyden's higher noble status, or even entirely from his admiration for the man. Mostly, he's sympathetic towards Hyden's frequent bouts of infirmity and need to be tended to.

Ill health runs - ran - in the North line. Out of necessity, Theo has learned so much about sickness: how it can be treated, how it sometimes can't be treated, how to make it bearable - if only for a moment, and that feeding a cold doesn't do all that much, but a hearty stew certainly doesn't hurt. Caring for an ailing mentor is a familiar, almost comforting ritual to him by his adult years. He welcomes the opportunity Hyden presents to fall back into his old routines. It makes him feel useful. It makes him feel that maybe he can fix it this time.

So, you see, Theo really isn't a butler. He's a nurse. *

* (Theo is neither a butler nor a nurse. Do not allow him access to your wine cellar or your medical records.)

the prompt for the last day of tetohina week was au, so i thought it was the perfect chance to finally finish this idea i've had in mind for a few months already: phantom thieves! + tetora who is more like a vigilante sldkjmlsks

#tetohina #tetora nagumo #hinata aoi #enstars #ensemble stars #see ok half the reason why this took so long #is because while it fits ryuseitai's hero of justice theme #in a non idol au tetora would still follow kuro and kuro would Never be a cop #so i had to let it stew for a while and i think vigilante of sorts Fits you know #still i wrote this ages ago but im still quite sure this is actually beach match dialogue btw #art tag

duel meta

i think a good aspect of the conflict present in the donghai fight is the fact that li xiangyi and di feisheng are each seeing the other as representing incompatible things, and this isn't something that began with the duel but it was part of what doomed them by the end of it.

it has to do with how both of them view their places in the jianghu, in general. li xiangyi by this point has become the symbol of sigumen. he embodies everything it stands for, and by extension of sigumen's prestige, he embodies what those in the jianghu striving for righteousness should look like. he's the legend of both this generation and the next, and when he snaps at shan gudao, li xiangyi literally considers himself the beating heart of sigumen. without him, it can't exist. he has become one with every person he represents while still apart from them, embedded in this fame across the jianghu and all its eyes on him. it's a burden, but while he's placed on the pedestal, li xiangyi still attempts to do good by all who put him on it. so here he stands, trying to shoulder it all.

di feisheng, on the other hand, has always seen his position on an individual level. he's associated with jinyuanmeng and he built it, yes, but that power is not something he's thrown himself into as its leader. he wouldn't say that jinyuanmeng wouldn't exist if he was gone; once di feisheng is reinstated as mengzhu in the present day, the first thing he does is to hand it over to jiao liqiao. his actions throughout the story after that are largely separate from those of jinyuanmeng, and he makes little effort to involve his subordinates except for a few specific people. to di feisheng, his achievements and strength ultimately rest on himself as a swordsman, and his skill compared to other distinguished people at the top of the jianghu. we see that on the night he frees jiao liqiao. he's not here to take over forces or resources, he's just here for one man and the rank he holds.

(i would argue that the power di feisheng did accumulate through jinyuanmeng is for two reasons. one, so that he had enough people behind him to apparently rival li xiangyi, and two, to keep him safe from the di mansion. but that's a different topic.)

so when the war between sigumen and jinyuanmeng breaks out, its final act on the donghai ship is a standoff between two people: one who views himself as representing a collective, and another who considers himself in that moment a swordsman on his own. and this greatly influences how both of them treat that fight.

to li xiangyi, this is a duel contextualized by leadership. because he will take the responsibility for sigumen and his side of the fight, he's focusing all that grief over shan gudao, all that anger and blame on di feisheng alone, as the opposing head of the forces he's been clashing with. since the name of li xiangyi cannot be separated from sigumen (and by now i don't think li xiangyi could define himself as person from image even if he tried), now he attaches di feisheng to jinyuanmeng in his attempt to force him to take accountability. in li xiangyi's eyes, they're really not people in this duel. they're the faces of hundreds more warriors, and every move they make has the lives of those people hanging onto them.

to di feisheng, the fact that they stand alone on that ship means they are alone, cut loose from everyone and everything else in an isolated space. this is a fight in its purest form now. just two men and their blades, relying on their own physical/spiritual strength and nothing else. it's what di feisheng has been waiting for, this chance to challenge li xiangyi where both of them stand on truly equal ground. there is no sigumen or jinyuanmeng dragging them down. they've cut through all the noise of the jianghu that he doesn't care for, and they're just di feisheng and li xiangyi, two highly skilled people who get to see who's stronger in an environment no one else can influence.

(it's worth noting, i think, that di feisheng chose the location of the duel by situating himself and therefore li xiangyi who would find him out at sea, even though the majority of their forces were fighting on land. his men on the ship complained about how horrid a decision it was to be at sea in that weather (it's the first dialogue of the show), but this ensured that any outside/not predetermined interference during their head-to-head would be much more difficult.)

these views or motivations are so terribly at odds with each other. li xiangyi is fighting out of desperate rage and the need for retribution, weighed down more than ever by all the people who look up to him and depend on him to seek justice. di feisheng is fighting for fairly-won status and glory, and in his eyes, for the first time they have been granted the freedom to go against one another where nothing else needs to matter.

it shows in the moves both of them choose to make. namely, that di feisheng fights with more restraint, while li xiangyi fights quite viciously. i'm going to focus a bit more on di feisheng's role here, because i think this contrast on his part is interesting and works to subvert his initial reputation/image, something significant to his character throughout the show (or at least more than it is for li xiangyi).

i would argue that di feisheng is on the defensive for the majority of this fight, as his side has been this entire war. in the duel choreography he's blocking, dodging, or backing up a significant amount more than li xiangyi, who keeps pressing, launching new offenses wherever possible to search for an answer and revenge. there's a clear give and take between them as the fight progresses. and thanks to how this dynamic plays out, and with the background of these characters' motivations, there are three key pauses in the duel that stand out to me. they're all points where di feisheng could have moved on or killed li xiangyi, even as he was the one being attacked, but chose not to.

the first is when li xiangyi is pressed up against the ship wall, di feisheng's sword against li xiangyi's cheek, enough to cut but not enough to lethally wound. they're locked in this position for a good few seconds before either of them react. di feisheng could press forward and cleave his skull, since li xiangyi can't parry him. i couldn't get a good screenshot, but shaoshi is buried in di feisheng's shoulder here. for that di feisheng could also back up and away, given his injury. but he does neither. instead he freezes in place, doing nothing until li xiangyi draws his blade out of di feisheng, and makes the next move.

the second is when there's a lull in the action on the roof of the ship cabin. we get di feisheng's line “一个剑客不该有弱点” ("a swordsman shouldn't have weaknesses") and li xiangyi pausing as the bicha poison begins to take effect. this is another very long break where di feisheng could've taken advantage of li xiangyi being distracted, but he stands still. we learn later that he didn't even know li xiangyi had been poisoned then, so this isn't him dramatically pausing to revel in li xiangyi's pain. his opponent wasn't immersed in the fight, so di feisheng waited until he was. he only moves forward to meet him when li xiangyi chooses to.

these breaks turn the duel into a dance, almost, where di feisheng is letting li xiangyi lead and only moving with him (when they're both in the physical state to). he's fighting with too much respect and leniency to be out for blood the way li xiangyi is, with everyone else on that ship already dead. they're fighting the duel through vastly different lenses and neither of them have realized it yet.

that point of realization is this last pause, di feisheng's blade stabbed into li xiangyi while he stands over him in the rain. the fact that di feisheng isn't actively trying to kill is apparent in two different details here. the first is that di feisheng's blade missed li xiangyi's heart, even though his accuracy as a swordsman is incredible. the second is that, once again, he waits until li xiangyi can move again before attempting to do anything further— except this time he yells that he's won.

this is the moment it genuinely struck for me that their perspectives on this duel are so different. di feisheng dealt li xiangyi a wound that is serious in the moment, but for someone of li xiangyi's strength, he'll be fine in the end. it only takes him out in the short term, and within that time, what di feisheng is waiting for after calling his victory is for li xiangyi to concede the duel. to say it's over, and give over his name as the top swordsman. that's what di feisheng was after.

to him, when it came to li xiangyi, defeating the man and killing him were two different things.

but this isn't where it all stops, because li xiangyi didn't know this (how could he?) and he's fighting for more than ensuring his name remains above anyone else's. di feisheng is fighting cold, but li xiangyi still has so much anger, so much left to do. so much at stake and on his shoulders and 'defeat' and 'giving up' are luxuries he doesn't have.

when the blade in him and the poison taking greater hold pushes li xiangyi into needing a last stand, he refuses to hold anything back. he's an opportunist now, and di feisheng has given him an opening. so out comes wenjing in a surprise attack, there goes di feisheng impaled against the mast, and it all goes to hell. di feisheng can't fight honourably because li xiangyi is coming for his life, and for the first time after a pause like this, he's the one who attacks first.

their last skirmish is because now there's nowhere else for either of them to go. all other motivations have been shattered. either one of them must break, or they must fall together. and the latter is exactly what they do.

perhaps, in a thousand other worlds, the duel went differently. but in this one, li xiangyi fought because he thought they both represented everyone, and di feisheng fought because he believed they represented nothing more than themselves, and neither man could understand that the other didn't share their perspective. signalled though it was throughout the fight, and evenly matched though they were, they were fighting two separate battles on that ship. it wasn't anything they could help, only the result of contrasting lives in the jianghu and what it had shaped them both into. and so there was nothing that could come of that duel except for both of them to lose.

#not the direct theme of all this but i maintain that di feisheng is the most 侠义 character in present-day mlc #and this is where you see the foundations of it #anyways THANK YOU if you actually read all this #i've had these thoughts stewing in my head for days and it all came out tonight #but it doesn't end there. i came up with two other meta ideas in the process of writing this one #here to stay for the long run #also sidenote but i had xiao shunyao's intro rap verse to rock star by MIC on loop in my brain the entire time i was writing this #so i think you should all be proud of me that i got this done #mysterious lotus casebook #feihua #di feisheng #li xiangyi #mlc meta #ashton originals #li lianhua

The fact that yakumo has made so much soup that eiden can ID the type based on smell alone

#I'm going to destroy yakumo. I'm going to braise him in one of his magical soups. mash him flat with my palate then MASTICATE HIM #look i know that certain soups have very distinctive smells like.... cream stews or beefy stews #but once it gets into smoov broth style my sense of smell cannot reliably ID a soup's ingredients #unless they're associated with strongk spices like pho. star anise u kno what i mean #i'll just be like... chicken and.... smth sweet.... carrot? maybe???? wait what do you mean it's not chicken. wait it's MEATLESS? #wait which vegetable soup was it. pumpkin? no. squash? no. tomato??? NO?? THAT ONE SPECIFIC MEDLEY WITH THE SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS? nOO?????? #if u have excellent soup smelling capabilities pls do elaborate. i am fascinated #in the meantime. i will assume that yakumo has made so many soups that eiden just knows the repertoire #love that eiden was like anyway i'm dead. yea it makes sense that yakumo is making soup for me in the afterlife. then he came to his senses #i love u eiden i hope u didn't get a concussion and you're fine and your pretty lil head is unharmed and ready to drink soup :) #frozen echoes #eiden #yakumo

As an English woman, I might join the Royal Navy and start a long, repressed, lineage of Royal Navy sailors, in the hope that one day, one of my descendants, (who I hope will be called Malcolm), will decide to join an organisation that works in space, (which I hope will be called Starfleet), and will end up working as an Armoury Officer on a space ship, (which I hope will be called Enterprise), and will fall in love with a handsome man (who I hope is an engineer nicknamed Trip), who will fall in love with him, and that they will be very happy together.

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

while the concept of the Censored 11 is ultimately meaningless in the scope of analyzing these shorts (a list that exists solely in terms of which shorts were pulled from syndication in the early ‘60s—if it were more accurate to objectionable content in these shorts, it would be the Censored 111), its utterance is often enough to raise eyebrows. doubly so when touting the factoid that All This and Rabbit Stew is the only occasion where Bugs makes such a list.

Tex Avery’s final outing with his prize creation demonstrates a creative restlessness: a desire to innovate and push beyond what he was able to do at Warners. Bugs in this cartoon has become more of a “what” rather than a “who”, a borderline one dimensional purveyor of gags and visual comedy rather than a flesh and blood character. this is likewise the first short to ever tout a formal “Tex Avery take”, serving as a response to Bugs’ attempts to outwit and avoid a hunter—a task he achieves with insulting ease.

#our star hunter is referred to as a racial slur in the model sheets so hopefully that paints a picture of what to expect! iiiiiiiiiit’s not #very forgiving 🫠 #lt #all this and rabbit stew #avery #looney tunes #reviews

One of the biggest canon plotholes in the Toffipsa/p plotline for my AU happens in Stranger Danger, when Star is bargaining with her mom and says: “When Toffee was destroyed she’d be set free. Well, Toffee’s gone-”

Eclipsa was in the cell when Star said it and didn’t have any sort of reaction. There’s a few reasons why this is that I’ve come up with:

She simply just wasn’t paying attention/she didn’t comprehend the name being said (boo boring. Star said the name twice she couldn’t have ignored it both times. Edit: rewatched the episode and she said it THREE times.)

She didn’t assume that the Toffee they were referring to was her Toffee and brushed away the thought. Toffee was the affectionate nickname she gave him and never assumed he’d ever take it on as a real name. Considering their tragic fallout, she would never guess that he would even dream of using that name for himself. Along with this, the image she has of Toffee is this sweet little innocent precious boy, definitely not someone capable of murder much less someone who’d join an army.

She fully considered that the Toffee they referred to was her Toffee— just was able to keep her cool in the moment— and she had a mental crisis about it that night. However she eventually denied and dismissed the thought and tried to ignore it the best she could. That sweetheart lizard boy she knew and loved would never. He couldn’t even bring himself to hurt a fly. Plus she’d hate the idea that she caused the death of her childhood best friend, so she just went hard denial mode.

This was some sort of sadistic trick Seth was playing. Since he was the one who killed her mom, Eclipsa was already convinced that he was the one Moon was trying to kill because he had done the same thing to her. Seth was up to something and this was all some twisted game.

Something else? Possibly? That I haven’t thought of??

If only she knew it was him amiright.

Personally I think it’s a combo of 2 and 3 🫶🏻
