Yesterday came and went and all I remember was having a bad migraine while drawing on the server VC with some friends and hell broke loose.

Carne Beat intensifies

the "tumblr community invents a whole mafia movie apparently directed by martin scorsese with an official soundtrack, movie posters, screen caps, and all enough to make one question if that movie really did exist at all like a mandela effect" was not part of my 2022 bingo card

As someone whose entire extended family lives in Sicily irl and they're all super catholic i am delighted by Machete's place of origin??? I literally feel like that meme with the anime girl that's like "(Location) mentioned!!!" anytime it comes up lol

Anyways I love reading OC lore so your blog is always a treat 😎

#oh thank you! it's so good to hear you like him! #I hope I'm not doing a glaring disservice to Sicilians or Italians as a whole with my weird dog guy #to be honest I'm always worried about people taking him as serious representation of some trait they associate with and feel close to #and then potentially getting disappointed or upset when he's flawed and troubled and not always entirely likable #does that make sense? I'm an overthinking people-pleaser it's probably just all in my head #answered #anonymous #it's so funny that this [location mentioned] is a worldwide phenomenon #especially in non-anglosphere countries #because Finnish people always get hella excited whenever Finland is mentioned anywhere #it's became a well known inside joke (torille) #we're such a small quiet and remote nation it's always a pleasant surprise whenever one of the big guys remembers that we exist

Here’s my (very dumb) pitch for Mamma Mia 3, it's Harry's wedding there is just one small very very tiny issue no one can work out who Harry’s marrying and at this point, they just feel weird asking. So much like the first film, three men are running around a greek island while Sophie, Sky, Cher, Tanya, Rosie, Bill, and Sam try to work out their connection to the plot, I mean their relationship with Harry. So let us meet the potential Grooms: 

First up we have Elijah Thatcher played by Taron Egerton, at first, he seems the most likely to be the groom despite the age gap since he seems very close and connected to the wedding and is really stressed out about the wedding. However, we later find out the reason he is so stressed about this wedding is that he is the stressed-out wedding planner, and let's just say Harry’s Groom is a bit of a bridezilla

Then we have Peter Beckett played by Hugh Laurie an American lawyer who is very close to Harry, he also knows a lot about the other dads and Sophie, and he also has the habit of flirting with Harry, in truth while he and Harry did have a fling back in the day, they are now simply best friends and he’s the best man. The reason he flirts with Harry is that he enjoys getting a reaction out of Harry's actual partner. 

This actual partner is Nathaniel Hawthorn played by Hugh Grant a music professor at Cornell, they push each other buttons but at the end of the day, they still love each other. At the start of the film, they think he is the wedding planner since he seemed a bit too into the table setting. But he actually just enjoys getting a rise out of Elijah, who at this point is considering a career change.  Hijinks, misunderstandings, and ABBA take place before the reveal but in the end, the reveal is simple with Nathanial asking if Sophie would walk down the aisle with him, since he's kinda either step-dad 1 or dad 4 plus he knows it will mean the world to Harry, she agrees they hug and she welcomes her new dad to the family.

We end the film with their wedding it's big, it’s fun, and it goes perfectly much to the joy of Elijah's mental health, Peter gets a killer best man speech that ends in him and Nathaniel hugging it out. Just as the night is coming to an end, all seems to be going well Bill finds his boat has been stolen by none other than newlyweds. Harry yells something about being spontaneous, while Nathaniel yells about going on the honeymoon of their dreams. As they sail off into the sunset.

We close with Elijah and Bill sharing a drink and rethinking the life choices that got them here. We then find out Cher knew who the groom was the whole time and just found the whole thing very funny hence why she told no one.

#this is all one big inside joke with myself #i also wrote this late at night while drunk for fun #i may have not seen either mamma mia film in awhile so sorry if I got the lore wrong #mamma mia #mamma mia 3 #give harry a bf #also feel free to add ABBA songs as you like #taron egerton #hugh laurie #colin firth #hugh grant #i believe them play boyfriends would be a very full circle moment #abba

the “everyone is jin ling’s uncle” thing is funny but also that is the POINT of his character, like he is the catalyst. all the major players are connected to him, he is the unifying point that draws them all together. the dramatic confrontation between the leaders of the cultivation world is simultaneously a ridiculous family drama because they’re all related to this one kid

#jin ling #mdzs #cql #meta stuff #jin ling’s skywalker moment #is that the tag i forgot #but yeah idk if this is coherent #but like. the point of jin ling and his character archetype #is literally luke skywalker #he’s the catalyst #he doesn’t necessarily have a big like. role in the story. #but he’s the one to connect everything together #his presence leads to wwx seeing both jc and lwj again. #when wwx meets both lwj and jc in his second life. each time was because he was saving jin ling. #meeting nie huaisang? also while saving jin ling #hmmm maybe i’ll have a think on that one a bit more #this post started out as an inside joke with myself but now i’ve talked myself into something

Some thoughts regarding chapter 419

I needed some time to stomach the revelations of chapter 419, but now that that’s done I think the story’s been building up to that moment for a very long time. It’s an extremely painful chapter to read, but, in my opinion, it had to happen. I’ll try to explain why I think so.

Tomura’s lack of/struggle with agency had always been a core theme of his character, perhaps even the central theme. However, I feel like this aspect of his character often got overlooked in favor of other aspects like his bond with the other members of the League of Villains, his development into a more competent and threatening villain, his issues with the shortcomings of BNHA’s society in general and heroes in particular, etc. Well and then, chapter 419 happened and brought this core theme to the forefront with a vengeance, pretty much overshadowing everything else. (It was really kind of a… challenging read.)

Personally, I think this chapter’s purpose is neither to make Tomura more redeemable nor to let Nana and Kotarou off the hook for the decisions they made. I doubt that people who were against Tomura’s redemption before chapter 419 dropped, are on board with it now. And I can’t really imagine Horikoshi expecting them to change their minds with this reveal. (He would have to be beyond naive to believe that.)

The decisions, Nana made, were entirely her own – chapter 419 changed nothing about that. And regarding Kotarou: Just because a cherished friend gives you parenting advice, you’re not obliged to follow it. Especially, since All For One didn’t even tell Kotarou to be strict with Tenko, he merely encouraged his strict ways. He encouraged what was already there. He used what was already there to his advantage. This chapter may bring Tomura’s agency into question, but it certainly doesn’t do so with Kotarou’s.

(Furthermore, I don’t see anything in the story that indicates All For One as the cause of all of society’s flaws. He merely knows how to use these flaws to his advantage. He threw quite some bombshells at Tomura and us in this chapter, but he never mentioned having anything to do with all those civilians ignoring little Tenko in his hour of need. If he were also behind that, why wasn’t he bragging about that as well? Now would be the perfect time.)

So, what is the purpose of this chapter, of All For One’s revelations? I think it’s to finally shatter Tomura’s illusion of agency. It’s to pull the rug out from under his feet and push him into the deepest depths of despair. At its core, Tomura’s story is a tragedy in its purest form (or at least it has been up to now) and chapter 419 marks the lowest point.

In chapter 379, Tomura is able to one-up All For One and regain control over his body for a while. He manages to do so by clinging to his origin as Tenko Shimura. At this point, he is already aware (at least to some degree) that All For One has groomed him since picking him up after the Shimura tragedy. He knew that “Tomura Shigaraki” was All For One’s creation. But at least he still has “Tenko Shimura”. “Tomura Shigaraki’s” decisions may belong to All For One, but “Tenko Shimura’s” decisions are his own. Or so he thought.

“Tenko Shimura” was his final weapon against All For One, the shield protecting him from getting completely overtaken by his abuser. And also the life ring he was clinging to to keep himself from sinking into despair. But now, All For One has destroyed that, too, and Tomura has nothing left to hold onto.

“Tenko Shimura” is All For One’s creation as well. “Tenko Shimura’s” decisions belong to All For One as well. All that is “Tenko Shimura/Tomura Shigaraki”, all that ever was, all that ever will be, belongs to All For One. “Tenko Shimura/Tomura Shigaraki” is not his own person. He is nothing more than a tragic figure in the story All For One is writing. Or so All For One wants him to think.

What I believe All For One has done in this chapter is to destroy Tomura’s illusion of “I have control over my life and the decisions I make” by setting up a new illusion for Tomura: “I have and never had any control over my life and my decisions whatsoever”. He pushed Tomura out of one extreme narrative straight into the next one. Both of which are at odds with the truth, however.

When dealing with All For One, we mustn’t forget that he is a liar and a manipulator, a groomer and an abuser. (In fact, he is so good, that he can even manipulate the fourth wall and make the BNHA fandom believe every little thing he says.) Naturally, he’ll always tell his victims what makes it easiest for him to manipulate them, be it lies, the truth, or a little bit of both.

Thus we should be careful to take his words at face value. He is definitely exaggerating when he claims that all of Tomura Shigaraki’s/Tenko Shimura’s decisions actually belong to him, his abuser. One example: Does anyone really think it was All For One’s decision that Tomura cares for the other members of the League? That he grew to genuinely trust Himiko, Twice, and even notorious anti-team-player #1 Dabi? Befriended Spinner? Fed Mr. Compress all the sushi he wanted? Decisions like these go completely against All For One’s modus operandi.

For me, the key to growing to appreciate this chapter and its revelations was to bring together all these extremes regarding Tomura’s struggle with agency, Tomura’s flawed perception of himself, other character’s flawed perceptions of Tomura, All For One’s exaggerated claims about Tomura and well… I guess to kinda conciliate them with each other. Tomura was groomed by All For One and thus has struggled with agency. He made many decisions All For One groomed him to make. But he also made decisions of his own.

Tomura is not a transcendent being. He is not a god. He is not destruction incarnated. He is not the angel of death. He is not an innocent little baby boy (not with a kill count like that). He is not a character in All For One’s story.

He is a victim but not just that. He is a villain but not just that. He is a hero to some but not just that.

In fact, I think the story (namely chapter 411, courtesy of Izuku Midoriya) already gave us the perfect term for what Tomura Shigaraki/Tenko Shimura truly is: a human being, nothing more, nothing less.

And I guess the key to giving this story a happy ending is to convince Tomura of that as well; that he is a human being whose first 21 years were shaped by All For One’s toxic influence, yes, but there is also a future for him without All For One. Where he can truly be free, make his own decisions, and grow into his own.

i've had a dozen wip ideas run through my head since those pics dropped, but the one i'm most hung up on is tim buying lucy a stuffed goat he spots in the hospital gift shop window that she name's "jerald jr" and now i really can't wait to get off work to start writing it. 🥺💕

blurb of getting railed by nate in a club bathroopm

once upon a time there was this dumb, idiotic slut named kate. one day, she bought overpriced m&g tickets for comic con so she could meet the only guy who got her wet:

tom holland.

she ended up meeting him, threw up on his jordans, cried, and then passed out and fell into the puddle of her own vomit. flash forward, shes taking on the world. she ended up meeting benny cucumber, where he sends her into an alternate universe.

the uncharted universe!!!

she ends up meeting with tom nate. they find each other in a club, and after she discovers he has a HUUUGE *d*nald t*ump voice* fucking dick, she leads him into a bathroom stall where he fucks her into the the metal wall right above where 'FUCKITITUS' was written on the wall in sharpie.

instead of telling him she's coming the usual way, she shouts at the top of her lungs, "MY NAME IS CONNOR, I'M THE ANDROID SENT BY CYBERLIFE!!!!"

and they lived happily ever after. she goes on to write a childrens book about their relationship titles "kate the great and nate the great" (thanks for that idea btw)

#ur welcome #now SHUT UP #LOL #i hate u but i love u #this is literally a joke #pls no one take this seriously #mail time #new moon #she wouldn't shut the fuck up about me writing something for her #so this is what i gave her LOL #anyway #enjoy #this is mainly just a bunch of dumb inside jokes #and kate being my annoying big sister LOL #ok bye

△ @ nate (I love bullying him): do you keep people locked up in your house because that's the only way you can make friends? I bet Ethan only tolerates you bc of a mean case of Stockholm syndrome

From this ask game.

3/10 - he doesn't really care, he just thinks it will be messy to answer politely.

"I have too many friends. I don't want more, and I certainly don't want to be friends with the people in my basement. Nor do I want them to like me. Saying Ethan has stockholm syndrome is suggesting he likes me at all. I assure you he doesn't."

#look at that you got teased out his big boy businessman voice for this one #honestly tho nate is really charismatic and popular at work #even as the boss #he knows everyone by name and has inside jokes with most of them #hes very good at being likeable #he just hates every second of it #he keeps people so he can do what he wants without having to have a mask on all the time #without having to worry about what they think of him #sand asks #oc asks #nate #whumping the whumpers #ask game

OWO

My best friend gifted me Cult of the Lamb, so that I could do something more than just draw laboriously, but HA look who now also draws about their cult. This would be my lambsona/cultsona/whatever-the-fandom-name-it-sona? A fox in sheep's clothing. At the moment I quite liked the fleece of the fates, so I'm sticking with that one for now. 

They are adorable animals, how did you expect me to end up drawing about them?
