Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

ryan gosling was not picked as ken because he looks like ken, obvi lol. gosling was picked because of vibes, personality and what he represents: “all american”, conventionally attractive, generic but handsome, golden retriever, himbo. he’s not ken, he’s Ken-esque.

edit: and i like the casting :)

#I KNOW HES CANADIAN LOL #chillllll #i’m not saying you have to like the casting!!! #it’s totally fine if you don’t #but thats why he was cast #i’m p sure #i like it him tho #barbie #barbie 2023 #barbie and ken #ken #barbie movie #barbie meme #barbie mattel #mattel #ryan gosling #margot robbie #:)

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.

And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.

And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.

And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?

Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.

Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.

#humans are space orcs #humans in space #earth is a deathworld #earth is space australia #tagging this so that ppl can find it even though the space shit i write about always feels like its in direct opposition to all the pop tag #also my biggest pet peeve in all of writing - all writing. everywhere. not just in fanfic but books and tv and movies too - is when people #write off an injury by saying something like 'oh nothing bad just a couple of scratches some bruising and a minor concussion' like girl WHA #MiNOr ConCuSSioN is such an oxymoron and I hate it so fucking much. like i dont care how minor it was thats still brain damage. #especially when the same character does this more than once. like im sorry ms. but uh. you can no longer read. or talk eloquently. sorry #evidence: my brother has had two 'minor' concussions and now cannot read write or speak without tremendous effort. And like its totally #ruined my ability to watch action shows/movies because now i just sit there and count how many concussions there characters are getting #after a certain point it becomes totally impossible to believe that these guys are able to function. (still fun to watch tho im not a hater

Offering to you all some sandy doodles in these trying times

#genshin impact #sandrone #Coming out to say that I think that sandrone genuinely has one of the prettiest designs in genshin #kinda makes me sad that no one really gives a shit about her except for like 5 other people #somewhat understandable though #cause she got like a total of one (1) line from the lazzo trailer and her big ass robot takes up 70% of the screen when she DOES appear #but anyways thats not deterring me from being deranged about her nowadays #She's smart. She's talented. She's mean. She commits atrocities against man on the regular. Shes French #She has it all #also i have no idea why it took me so long to actually draw her with ball joints bc she looks really neat with em imo

Actresses being tortured on the set by male directors is a massive historical and present day scourge of the film and TV industries and it's really SO common when you look into it. like from Kubrick terrorizing Shelley Duvall (and only her) on the set of the shining to Tarantino strangling Diane Kruger until she passed out to Hitchcock replacing fake birds with real birds after Tippi Hedren rejected his advances (in order to scare and physically injure her as a punishment for not fucking him) to James Cameron almost literally drowning Kate Winslet to an actress on GOT being waterboarded ten hrs straight to get like a minute of footage to Brando improvising an unscripted rape scene on the last tango in Paris set with the directors permission that ended up traumatizing Maria Schneider (in fact quite a lot of the gratuitous, graphic rape scenes in film were included for the sadistic pleasure of the male directors at the expense of the actresses).

The list goes on and on and I could seriously talk for ages about how revolting it is that these men still have active careers bc the industry just tolerates it. No piece of art is worth inflicting this disgusting and unnecessary abuse on actresses (and it's ALWAYS the actresses isn't it, never the actors. Hmmm wonder why). We call these men auteurs and geniuses but they're really just pathetic abusive sacks of shit. I want to impale every male director who behaves like this and I want their rotting corpses displayed as a part of the universal studios tour.

#the excuses ppl use to defend them are so pathetic too. ''oh they just want to draw out the best performance'' BUUUULLSHIT #1) if that was true why is it only actresses being abused #2) how come other accomplished directors dont do this but still manage to make great movies. perhaps bc its TOTALLY UNNECESSARY #male directors are as a whole some of the most demented individuals in all of showbiz & thats saying smth #as a wannabe director myself it makes me extremely sad bc its so hard for a woman to break into directing yet men like this still get to #make movies and continue being psychopaths to their actresses??? fuck off

I have to get it out. It's been like 9 months since my binge rewatch of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not going to say that transitioning would've 100% saved Shinji, but it would kill Gendo instantly. Just, the thought of that dense motherfucker being confronted by the fact that his own son, testament to all of his imperfections, would suddenly start to resemble his wife-- which he cannot handle outside of Rei-- would make him tweak into oblivion and I think that's very funny. just. *Enter stage left, Shinji being forced through the doors of Gendo's office by Asuka and maybe Misato* Shinji: Father, I- Asuka: Just say it! Shinji: Father, I'm a girl.. I'd like to start hrt immediately. Gendo:

#nora says mora #neon genesis evangelion #shinji ikari #gendo ikari #trans shinji #trans #total headcanon its just funny #the thought of Gendo watching everyone in his life except for 3 ppl becoming assorted versions of his wife #because ofc thats how he sees women #it would give him cyberpsychosis #the third impact happens because Gendo has a nuclear meltdown and jumps down an elevator shaft to throw hands with God #and he'd have done it to himself.

whenever i glance at the aa4 transcript i have to force myself to close the tab quickly or i'll spend forever scrolling on it bc the characters are just too funny. apollo and trucy went in klavier's office and looked at the cocoon replica on a plate and began guessing what it was. "is that... gum, maybe?" "gum?" "yeah, he was chewing it when he got a phone call so he put it on the plate for later consumption" "you'd think a rockstar would be able to afford a fresh piece..." all while klavier is standing there two feet away from them able to hear every word

#he interjects and tells them to stop jumping to conclusions and that thats some evidence that he Totally Shouldn't Show Them #and then he shows them #anyway i love that apollo and trucy just do not have any shame at all about gossiping and being silly #their favorite activity is to Enter A Room And Say Things

I knew the reading comprehenson on this site was abysmal, but the CEO seeing a trans woman complaining about transphobia on the site and wishing he died a death involving "a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere" and seeing that as a genuine enough threat to both nuke her account over AND contact the FBI over is certainly a first

#photomatt #predstrogen #tumblr #cryptid says stuff #anyone can tell thats supposed to be a joke right??? #like nobody woukd read that and think 'yeah she's totally planning to run him over with a car covered in hammers like a cartoon character' #well apparently not nobody

multiple times now I've seen people genuinely claim that the solution to aphobia is for asexual and aromantic people to stop talking about their asexuality and aromanticism. if you think like this you need to be put in a meat grinder like actually

#'yeah guys the solution to aphobia is for aces and aros to just shut up!!' what if i destroyed everything you loved actually #and i assume the solution to homophobia is for gay people to stop talking about their homosexuality right? #same thing with transphobia? #yeah guys the solution to your discrimination is to just stay in the closet!! thats totally a normal thing to suggest!! #oh no suddenly thats homophobic and transphobic to say #but its fine to say it about aces and aros bc everyone hates us i guess #aphobia #asexual #aromantic
