#thank you for your thoughts

Well, I haven't seen the finale either. I also dropped the series at the beginning of season 5 because it was really boring me (and also because finding the episodes to watch was getting more and more difficult). However, I still saw a lot of episodes spoilers, including the finale, and well...

Let's just say that Astruc decided for some reason that it was a good idea to make Gabriel go out in a heroic way.

Long story short, he made the wish to revive Emilie in exchange for his own life (a decision that came out of nowhere, only because Marinette made him watch a video of Emilie telling she didn't want to be revived), rewriting the reality, and the worst part is that everyone treated him as a fucking hero.

They built him a fucking statue.

No one, aside from Marinette, found out that he is Monarch, not even Adrien (who got also excluded from the final battle for no reason, despite being the co-protagonist, did I forgot to say that?).

That's right, Adrien will never know all the shitty things his father did, all because Gabriel asked Marinette to make sure his son only remembers "the times that he tried to be a good father" (which, rewatching the series as a whole, are not that many, man), and Marinette agreed for some reason, which means that she will keep this crucial secret Adrien has every right to know from him for the rest of their lives (and we are supposed to ship these two).

I won't make a papyrus about how fucking stupid this finale is, because I don't want to make this post longer that it already will be, but I will say this:

Gabriel is, just like Chloe, a character who had a lot of potential but was horribly wasted.

Seriously, as someone who loves symphatetic villains, he had all the potential to be one, and a really good one at that.

But in the end, just like all the characters in the series, and also the series in general, he got brutally ruined, simply because Astruc is not competent in writing either a good story or good characters (makes me think about what this series could have been if he wasn't involved in it).

Anyway, sorry for the long post.

On a positive note, it's really nice talking with you.

(Also, I didn't expect to be tagged, but thank you. Really, it makes me happy.)

Oh I had heard about Adrien not knowing and Marinette not telling him, and I couldn't agree more. Honestly, I don't have much to add, because really, you hit the nail in the head with most of what you're saying and it just makes me even more glad I dropped this show. Because of the awful writing, marinette ended up being an awful protagonist and Adrien, who should co-lead with her, isn't even treated as a protagonist anymore. And I'm gonna ignore the fact that Gabriel was given any kind of mercy whatsoever bc I refuse to acknowledge it. I'm so glad I don't care about this show anymore.

I just want to end it by quoting this part of what you said "Astruc is not competent in writing either a good story or good characters (makes me think about what this series could have been if he wasn't involved in it)" because you are DAMN RIGHT and you should say it!!

Consider: Mike H/Dustin

History nerd and science nerd bfs perhaps?

ROSE STOP, MY IT/ST SHIP AU IS ALREADY OUT OF HAND AND PERHAPS THATS A FUCKIN GOOD SHIP....i must,,,add it.

No because they're the nerd bfs! Dustin explains things about radio waves and he gets all excited about it and Mike H doesn't have a clue what he's talking about but he's watching him with literal hearts in his eyes.

And then when Mike is talking about 1600's European history (my favorite history era) Dustin doesn't remember how many wives Henry the 8th had but he loves how Mike talks about these people as if he personally knew them. They're just,,,so in love and they're such fucking nerds,,,how I love them so

I would caution the anon about saying only Harry ever gets hate for stunts. Danielle was 6 years ago, a very very different time and I don’t think Harry got much hate for his stunts from that era either. Just eye rolls for his team picking absolute idiots like chef girl and serial killer lover lady. This is a much different time, and much different circumstances. Also, Louis has been absolutely trounced by fans for being more active in babygate this past year and the whole Bentley thing. They both have fans very tired. And I don’t think people fault Harry for having a beard. That’s not at all what I’ve seen. I think we all understand both guys might want or need them until they don’t. It’s the way within those closets things are being manipulated at the expense of fans that is getting really wearing. Please don’t play the “only Harry” game. It’s old. It’s wrong. They both are stuck and also both playing shitty games with fans. We can sympathize AND be pissed. We’re very talented in this fandom. And Louis gets plenty of shit. Maybe not this week. But look at last week with every kid mention in his promo. Or maybe you missed it, anon, because everyone was pissed and didn’t blog it.

You’re not wrong, anon. Plenty of people have a go at both of them, that’s true. And it switches almost daily, depending on the headline or circumstance. It really is brutal out here, jfc.

I’m not interested in the “who has it worse” game either. Who does that serve? I think both Louis and Harry would absolutely loathe that. But to be fair to the anon and anyone who feels similarly, it could very well be their dash/who they’re following that causes them to see hate towards one more than the other. Which sucks, plain and simple.

And we are a talented fandom, that’s true. Maybe a little worn down these days. Who can blame us? I’ve definitely learned how to hold space for both empathy AND rage. Just slight rage though.

#thank you for your thoughts #it really is a different fandom from the Danielle days #honestly I think I may have trauma blocked the chef and Camille because I absolutely do not remember them #I know both were annoying #same with Danielle #but I really Danielled tf out of her too because my brain jus that’s no emotions stored for her at all #just praying for the day when I can say the same for both bg and ow #I was being a little silly with my last line but I hear you anon

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

Knowing they are like that basically at the end of ep5 supposedly is not the best feeling 😭😭😭 I don’t want another s2 situation where they do it all last minute

Well, we don't actually know if the snippet was at the end of season 5, so I try not to speculate on that. I do however understand how it can be stressful, but let's not loose hope haha

Also, I'm a big s2 lover and I LOVE the last episode of that season, it might be my favorite, especially with how many things are happening, but I don't believe everything will be resolved in the last minute in season 3 (I also don't believe everything was done last minute in s2 as well, but that's my opinion). Wilmon is endgame and so I think we will have a nice conclusion that is not rushed to this amazing show.

Even if its 'just a fan ship' I stand by it. #Sorry to the people who like to think of them as handsome pretty boys. I don't. #These guys sit in their rooms and use the computer for 90% of waking hours. They are not looking after themselves well enough for good skin #They can be cute in their own way.

I recall saying this before, but it bears repeating:

There could be a billion trans people in the world and it still wouldn't be a bad thing because being trans is not a bad thing. Even if the rate of people discovering they are trans is "disproportionate" to trends from decades ago, that is not a bad thing. In fact, it's a natural consequence for there being more trans people being able to stay alive, and, overall, being able to live in a slightly more tolerant world. You'd only see that as a bad thing if you actively didn't want trans people to either live or live a life that facilitates wellness.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #like even with there being more OPEN AND OUT trans people there are still more cis people by volume #even in my high school with three trans girls and three trans guys (including me) and a few NB people... #...there were still a THOUSAND cis kids going to school with us. imagine complaining when cis people are still 'dominant' #i don't know what my secondary school's population is because it's a big campus so you can deal with high school stats lol #like thank gd we are beginning to live in a world where the trans population CAN grow #i want there to be more trans people. because trans people will continue to be trans #we will continue being trans no matter what laws you put into place. no matter how dangerous you make the world for us... #...we will continue to be trans whether or not you approve. and that's fucking beautiful. i want us to live. i want us to eat well. #i want us to not worry about anything in this world. and that's going to happen one day. it will happen just like the sun rises each morning #if that is a threat to you then that is your own fault - your own self-destructive and sad thoughts about people and our world #and that is not my burden to carry - i have my own.

Real fan art is coming one day, but for now I really wanted to see if it was feasible to simplify their gradients into something that would fit a simple style like Bluey’s 😅

.

#aaaaaaaaaAAA #they're so precious I can't ;m; #I still haven't watched Bluey so I can't really comment on show accuracy but to me these look spot on #if you ask me the gradients work really well #if you look at them and unfocus your eyes they look like their normal markings #Vasco might benefit from having one more band between the base yellow and the lighter brown but that's totally optional and might take away #from the simplicity of his design #their colors are so true to the way I color them which is both cool and kind of uncanny #like Machete's pink details which in reality are very peachy almost closer to light orange than true pink #and their colored linearts which use the same colors I use for my colored linearts #I don't know I thought that was really cool attention to detail #they're adorable #thank you! #gift art #apupcalyptic #own characters #Machete #Vasco #their lives would be a lot less stressful in bluey universe I reckon
