[ignitesthestxrs]

there's something about the way people talk about john gaius (incl the way the author writes him) that is like. so absent of any connection to te ao māori that it's really discomforting. like even in posts that acknowledge him as not being white, they still talk about him like a white, american leftist guy in a way that makes it clear people just AREN'T perceiving him as a māori man from aotearoa.

and it's just really serves to hammer home how powerful and pervasive whiteness and american hegemony is. because TLT is probably the single most Kiwi series in years to explode on the global stage, and all the things i find fraught about it as a pākehā woman reading a series by a pākehā author are illegible to a greater fandom of americans discoursing about whether or not memes are a valid way of portraying queer love.

idk the part of my brain that lights up every time i see a capital Z printed somewhere because of the New Zealand Mentioned??? instinct will always be proud of these books and muir. but i find myself caught in this midpoint of excitement and validation over my culture finding a place on the global stage, frustration at how kiwi humour and means of conveying emotion is misinterpreted or declared facile by an international audience, frustrated also by how that international audience runs the characters in this book through a filter of american whiteness before it bothers to interpret them, and ESPECIALLY frustrated by how muir has done a pretty middling job of portraying te ao māori and the māoriness of her characters, but tht conversation doesn't circulate in the same way* because a big part of the audience doesn't even realise the conversation is there to be had.

which is not to say that muir has done a huge glaring racism that non-kiwis haven't noticed or anything, but rather that there are very definitely things that she has done well, things that she has done poorly, things that she didn't think about in the first book that she has tacked on or expanded upon in the later books, that are all worthy of discussion and critique that can't happen when the popular posts that float past my dash are about how this indigenous man is 'guy who won't shut up about having gone to oxford'

*to be clear here, i'm not saying these conversations have never happened, just that in terms of like, ambient posts that float round my very dykey dash, the discussions and meta that circulate on this the lesbian social media, are overwhelmingly stripped of any connection to aotearoa in general, let alone te ao māori in specific. and because of the nature of american internet hegemony this just,,,isn't noticed, because how does a fish know it's in the ocean u know? i have seen discussions along these lines come up, and it's there if i specifically go looking for it, but it's not present in the bulk of tlt content that has its own circulatory life and i jut find that grim and a part of why the fandom is difficult to engage with.

#tlt #the locked tomb #i don't really have an answer lmao this is more #an expression of frustration and discomfort #over the way posts about john gaius seem to have very little connection to the background muir actually gave him #like you cant describe him as an educated leftist bisexual man #without INCLUDING that he is māori #that has an impact! that has weight and importance! #that is a background to every decision he makes #from the meat wall to the nuke to his relationship with the earth #and it also has weight and importance in the decisions that muir makes in writing him #it is not a neutral decision that he's known as john gaius lmao #it's not a neutral decision that the empire is explicitly of roman/latin extraction #it's not even neutral that this is a book about necromancy #it's certainly not a neutral fucking decision that john was at one point a māori man living in the bush #when the nz govt decided to send cops in #like that is a thing that happens here! that is a reference to nz cultural and political events that informs john's character and actions #and with the nature of who john is in the story #informs the narrative as a whole #and i think the tiresome part of this experience is that #in general #americans are not well positioned to understand that something might be being written from outside their experience as a default #like obviously many many americans in online leftist & queer spaces are willing to learn and take on new information #but so much of the conversation starts from a place of having to explain that forests exist to fish

TOMMY: Arthur, Frances was right. Linda was here today.

#peaky blinders #tvedit #peakyblindersgifs #don't like this at all but this scene is impossible to capture in gifs #had to omit a lot of tommy's (very anxious) reactions (like the cyanide capsule for example) #but it is such an interesting insight into their relationship and one that fandom tends to miss #any kind of 'authority' tommy has over arthur is the one he grants him (out of his own desire to abdicate responsibility) #he's not the cowed oppressed mindlessly servile party in that relationship #and the hierarchy here is telling as well #arthur threatens tommy because he knows he can do that and that it will work #tommy of course makes the dubious decision of telling him about linda's whereabouts; there's certainly a culpability here in enabling #his abusive behaviour towards his wife #but here's the reason for it too: if tommy doesn't help him get linda back he'll be tommy's problem. that *is* the threat #and tommy can't even bargain with him: he has to tell him now and not later. just gets completely steamrolled lol #it's not like arthur always acts like that but it's important to understand that he can and does

An Exclusive Interview with the Bachelor! (part four) including a never-before-seen picture of Daniel Taylor's family!

pictured from left to right, birth order in brackets. Thomas (5), Matthew (7), Alan (3), Sofia, Rachel (2), Jordan (6), and Cheatham (4)

prev. | beg. | next.

more about the family below the cut! 🌸

Dan's family has been incredibly off-the-radar until now. He kept them almost entirely a secret during his earlier career, and only Jordan (a rising Simstagram model) has been exposed to the public eye and featured in his SimToks. He's not supposed to have favorites but his baby siblings, Jordan and Matthew, are definitely his favorites.

Daniel's father, Lt. Daniel Taylor I was an intensely abusive man, rigidly militaristic and a drunk to boot. Dan was the firstborn, and his namesake. Every sibling that was born after him was automatically under his protection, and he values each and every one of them above himself.

If you'd like to read more of Dan's history, you'll find his entire history written here, on his old profile. His history is not public knowledge: I just love writing and was too impatient to reveal it slowly!

Sofia Taylor (nee Perales) || Dan's mother. She can do no wrong in his eyes, and is literally the most important woman on Earth to him. Getting along with and being respectful to her will be very important. She suffered immense abuse at the hands of Dan's father and put up with it for years for the safety and advancement of her children. Dan never blamed her for anything, and the minute he got enough money from his show, he bought her a cottage in the rolling Henford countryside. Dan pays for everything, and she wants for nothing - which is, as he says, how she should live out the rest of her days forever.

Rachel Howard (nee Taylor) || The second-born. She is shrewd and sharp-witted, and very much a product of her father's stern household. Though she has a warm smile and a soft touch, the scar on her lip and the hard steel in her eyes belies the kind advice she's wan to give at any given moment. Rachel stepped in to take care of her siblings alongside Alan when Dan was shipped off to military school, and the three eldest siblings have a very close (if incredibly easy-to-aggravate-one-another) bond. Has two twins, a boy and a girl. Was so eager to shed her last name that she legally changed it once her boyfriend proposed.

Alan Taylor || The third-born. Alan has all of Dan's taciturn stoicism, but he's been softened by years of fatherhood and a quiet life lived in peace with his husband and children. Alan admired his eldest brother immensely, and was the one who felt the most abandoned when Dan left (seeing as he became the next Oldest Boy in the household). It took a long time for the two to reconcile after Dan's small rise to fame, but the two would say they're even closer now than they were before Dan left. Literally the most dad of all dads - if Dan never wanted to give his own children a chance to face the cruelties of the world, than Alan wanted his own children to be able to experience nothing but love and kindness that the world has to offer. Has three kids, two girls and one boy.

Cheatham Taylor || The fourth-born. An absolute rascal, Cheatham is the Uncle Bumi of the family. Largely ignored by their father for his weakness of health in youth, Cheatheam began acting out and rebelling at an early age to garner any sort of attention from the Lieutenant. He and Dan were at odds for the majority of his youth, and it wasn't until Dan was forced from the house that Cheatham was forced to confront their reality. Cheatham spent a few years on the road with Daniel before taking over the family ranch (and turning it into a weed farm, just to spite the old man) He's a spitfire and has the best laugh in the world, and though they are polar opposites, Dan finds him to be the easiest to confide in. He is happily married and has two children, both boys.

Thomas Taylor || The fifth-born. The Clark Kent of the family, Thomas was the Lieutenant's "second attempt" at a Proper Son. Thomas was a sweetheart from the moment he was born, and though his father taught him all the things he'd taught Dan, bullied him and beat him like he'd bullied and beat Dan, he never lost that innate sweetness and goodness that kept him Thomas. Sweet, simple Thomas. He was young when Dan was sent away, but insisted on sending him letters every chance he got - and Dan saved every one. He owns a garage in Starlight Shores, and he and Dan have beers and watch football together on the weekends.

Jordan Perales || The sixth-born, Matthew's twin. An aspiring Simstagram model and the baby sister of the family, Jordan was very young when Daniel was sent away, but she remembered him incredibly fondly. Daniel was even more protective of his younger siblings in his father's later years, as the man seemed to get impossibly worse as time went on, and both Jordan and Matthew were constantly at his side. The two of them view Daniel as their father figure, and he and Jordan are particularly close: she's the one who convinced him to go on Jupiter York's bachelorette, and she's the one who convinced him to try The Bachelor Challenge for himself. You'll want to bond with all of his siblings, sure, but Jordan is the one you'll want to be friends with the most. She changed her name the second she turned eighteen.

Matthew Taylor || The seventh-born, Jordan's twin. Matthew is the youngest and final Taylor, a surprise baby hiding behind his sister in the ultrasounds. Matthew struggled the most as a child in the Taylor household, which is saying something: but to put it in perspective, Daniel took more punches, beatings, and bloodied noses for Matthew than any other child in the house. Daniel holds the world in his palms for Matthew, and the two are incredibly close. Matthew is trans, and he knew from a very young age - which, as you can imagine, didn't exactly sit well with the Lieutenant. As Daniel will have the public know, Matthew is a boy, was always a boy, and if his deadname or the traumatic history of his transition was ever made public, Daniel would personally John Wick whoever was responsible.

absolutely hysterical to me that people like this exist. "well you're gonna buy the one you've heard of aren't you HMMMMM"

literally no! i'm not! the OPPOSITE in fact! the one i've never heard of is almost certainly cheaper, carl. also the one i've heard of is new and exciting because i've never seen it in my life so even if it's MORE expensive i'm still not buying the big brand sorry @ brands it's not happening it's not you it's me

#even monster... that's my usual energy drink purely because they have a very wide range of sugar-free varieties & i appreciate that #i have old lady teeth the full suger versions hurt me physically and emotionally #but like if i see some weird-ass import energy drink i've never seen in my LIFE you bet your ass i'm putting the monster down #shop around the corner sells one in a glass bottle with edible glitter in it that's PINK. corporate overlords could fucking never #or if whatever shop i'm in has better flavours of some other drink i'm... getting that #same flavour in 2 different brands? the cheaper one #truly WHO is out here making purchasing decisions based on 'trusted' brands (the trust being an advertising budget) in 2023

oh it's horrible; i love it

#tm #this is SO #because from lisbon's point of view this is....let's say strange i guess #nothing's really changed for her? yes she has (they have but he's not thinking like that right now) this dangerous risky job #but she always has; there's always been 'a new train every day' and they've dealt with them all; they'll deal with this one too #so yes of course she wants to try and reassure him but it's not as major to her as it is to him #*and also she's been very patient and understanding and hasn't put any expectations or pressure on their future #(i'm sure she HAS thoughts on it obviously but she's been the one reminding him to take things as they come #'right here it's good. it's very very good.') #meanwhile jane is.....for so long jane wasn't sure if he'd HAVE a future; he wasn't sure if he'd deserve one #and then blue bird and everything that came after it and it's been wonderful and he's been trying to take it one day at a time #but it's like once he let himself imagine a future for them; for himself he was immediately hit by the full reality of how tenuous it is #he's always known they have dangerous jobs but knowing that in a pre and post blue bird world are two very different things #now he has this; he has them; and he also knows that every time they get a phone call from abbott #there's a chance he might lose the most important person in the world to him just after learning he's the most important person to her #just after they finally started something together and then what he does later this ep it's just #once you get what you wanted most what would you do to protect it (because what kind of future would he have without her) #(and then failing that (in a few episodes) what would you do to grant yourself some semblance of peace of mind?) #but this kills me because he delivers the line in a kind of teasing way? he does not let on how nervous he really is #(or what he might be starting to plan) 'i made the decision not to tell you because i was worried that it would come between us' LIKE #he tried broaching the subject before (albeit not in a way that she could very easily understand) and it went nowhere #'are we really gonna work for the fbi for the rest of our lives?' 'it's who i am jane' 'i know' #he's terrified of what might happen but he's also terrified to bring it up because what if that drives a wedge in their relationship #what if he ruins it himself without any outside issue being to blame is that a self fulfilling prophecy back to the fear that kept him from #telling her how he felt during s6 #so instead he holds back just how much he's spiraling until....and then he just CAN'T anymore and he has to get away #(and then lisbon's almost blindsided because yes she knew he was worried but THIS worried? to the point he won't even hear her arguments?) #GOD it's so so good it's the wooooorst i'm eating it up

Some of Ya'll have no idea how to write impulsive characters and it shows

Say it with me kids:

Impulsive does not mean stupid.

Impulsive does not mean no common sense

I see too many people write impulsive characters as fucking idiots. As a fairly impulsive person myself, it makes me angry.

Every human being occasionally gets the the urge to do or say something that wouldn't be socially acceptable or would only make things worse, especially when they're emotional. Often (but not always, everyone does impulsive actions occasionally) people will think "no, I shouldn't do/say that" and then they don't do or say it. An impulsive person doesn't think twice about it. They do or say something potentially harmful, irresponsible, not socially acceptable, etc. and only AFTERWORDS do they realize oh fuck I shouldn't have done/said that fuck fuck fuck fuck.

An impulsive character will still make a plan of action. They might have a hard time sticking to that plan. An impulsive person will be easier to provoke into anger or another emotional outburst, but impulsivity is different from a "heat of the moment" outburst. Impulsive actions are quick.

Calling your girlfriend a bitch in the middle of an argument is pretty impulsive (and also not okay, lemme be clear about that). Making an entire "the reason you suck" speech towards your girlfriend is not impulsive (although a quick "the reason you suck" summary or bullet point list can be an impulsive action).

Punching someone in the face because they insulted you is impulsive. Doing an entire beatdown because someone insulted you is not impulsive, but can have roots in impulsivity - impulsive characters can sometimes get to the "heat of the moment BSoD" stage faster.

might add more points later, idk. Hope this makes sense.

#Yes this is about Jason Todd #everyone either writes him as a reckless dangerous idiot or they just completely erase his impulsivity #Even though that's one of his main character flaws #Him trying to save his mom was in fact an impulsive decision #or at least the way he did it kind of was (Hear me out here) #He cared about her and wanted to save her #and he focused so much on saving her that he had a hard time sticking to the plan he made #He impulsively trusted her #This is NOT me trying to say “yeah Jason's death was his own fault he got himself killed” #I've seen ppl say that shit that is NOT what I'm saying #It's important to note that flaw ≠ Bad Thing #a FLAW is simply something that makes a character more complex #Being too blunt is a flaw. Being too proud is a flaw. Being too confident is a flaw. Not being confident ENOUGh is a flaw. #Fatal Flaws exist #and Jason's is impulsivity #that does NOT make him stupid or anything like that #I"m very passionate about this #you can be a competent adult and still have impulsivity as a main flaw

[lindwurmkai]

anyway! transfem li lianhua: what's the verdict

#i have many thoughts on this subject #initially when i said his story was very trans i was like ''well i only mean it as a metaphor this time'' #because naturally i tried to think of him as transmasc first and that just didn't work at all #but finally it hit me. lmao #not sure if woman or nonbinary - i think it could go either way and you have to be careful not to let stereotypes influence this decision #i know what i prefer for personal reasons but that's beside the point here #the details aren't as important anyway since these people don't have a modern understanding of gender #it's not like li lianhua would literally come out as trans #but maybe in the privacy of their shared home (what he's fine) he will let his two boyfriends in on a few secrets #i have been tormented by emotions about those two being all understanding and protective #let me live #mysterious lotus casebook #mlc

👋 2022

#I won’t go into detail about real life except that it was. well. a Trip #learned some things went through things. the year of baby steps I guess #BUT I wanna write some thoughts about my 2022 tumblr experience down #it was… also quite a Trip #positive first: learned to stay off this site when necessary! very important mental-health wise #my most used tag this year was my track tag! shoutout to everyone who’s been using it #you bring me much joy by sharing your creations with me. I appreciate it 🤍 #another shoutout to all the incredibly lovely people who’ve come to my inbox this year #I’ve been very lucky in that regard. 98% of my anons have been the kindest sweetest most eloquent people #and I’m happy to have been able to have super interesting thoughtful and respectful discussions from time to time #okay what else. oh HIGHLIGHT of my year here – my birthday ADFFGHJ #I felt so so so spoiled and couldn’t (still can’t) believe the amount of spectacular gif(t)s I got. made me feel stupidly happy oh my god #I learned a lot of new skills and techniques for gfx making. kept experimenting with different styles which has been fun! #gif making has turned more into a relaxing activity than something that makes me feel pressured and anxious #I dialed it down a bit compared to last year and I think that was a good decision as well #as for not so positive things. well. #of course there are the usual/ general ‘complaints’ like lack in interaction and the like #got my first proper anon hate in November. that was something #HUGE lesson I learned this year: just because someone states in their bio that they’re adults doesn’t mean they act like ones <3 #people can be very childish ruthless and simply not worth one’s effort #and a last thing that fits quite well to that: 9 out of 10 people do not care about you. not about your time and effort you put in content #not about whether you’re online or not. not about how you might feel when they say and do certain things #I think I need to learn how to embrace this kind of insignificance. be more audacious. find validation within myself #okay I’ll stop now #I wanna say thank you to all the lovely people who made this year on tumblr more enjoyable and who truly brighten the place up for me #I love you lots and wish you all the best for 2023 #it’s gonna be a hard year for me with lots of challenges and changes #and it’s nice to have this little space here where you can escape to from time to time #mwah. smooches to all of you. happy new year <3

Very long Initial thoughts and first impressions on the Caribert Archon Quest in the tags. Spoiler alert!!

#{{ this is me making a very long tag so that the people who are not interested in reading the spoilers can skip the post safely!! ~~~~~~~ }} #{{ All right!! So the first thing I find fishy in this interaction is the fact that Kaeya just… }} #{{ reveals that he is from Khaenri’ah to the traveler like it’s no big deal }} #{{ Uhm. Huh. I thought that was a secret he was deeply invested in keeping; so things are not exactly adding up here }} #{{ because remember how that was; you know; a thing..? Remember that letter Kaeya saved from the fire }} #{{ that confirmed he was from Khaenri’ah and belonged to the Alberich family? }] #{{ without his father's knowledge and permission; because that information was too highly confidential to NOT remain a secret... }} #{{ and one that he still hides to this day? You know. You remember; right; hyv? come now; it was only a few patches ago. }} #{{ the fact that he revealed it like it was no big deal makes me??? question a lot of the decisions that were made here. }} #{{ Keeping his heritage a secret has been a character motivation for Kaeya. I’m bothered about this decision on hyv’s part; actually }} #{{ not to say that the reveal was never to be done; but it could have been handled properly. }} #{{ and not so casually over some mid afternoon drink time as if it holds no importance whatsoever }} #{{ also this interaction??? A total act. I refuse to believe otherwise }} #{{ 'caring less and less about khaenri'ah?' sir; the guilt and sense of duty/responsibility that consummes you daily says otherwise }} #{{ 'My father left me in Mondstadt simply because he wanted me to have a better life?' huh. perhaps one reason; but not the only one }} #{{ nor THE reason. we have had multiple proof; so this is kaeya lying through his teeth for the sake of alleviating the conversation }} #{{ 'My surname is the only link I have with Khaenri'ah'? Read points mentioned above. Deceit deceit deceit. }} #{{ this entire interaction was a calculated; studied act; and I'm calling it as it is. if hyv intended otherwise --- too bad. }} #{{ because I'm making it my canon. }} #{{ and I truly hope that in hyv canon kaeya is being the 'you can only trust half of what he says' Kaeya; because if hyv is making Kaeya }} #{{ honest in this precise moment.... like if those words are his genuine thoughts from hyv's perspective; then; Kaeya; I'm so sorry }} #{{ but i want to have faith in hoyo; and I want to believe that they haven't forgotten Kaeya as a chara and his motivations }} #{{ and the fact that he was intended to be a khaenri'ah spy in mondstadt. something which generated a lot of conflict in his life. }} #{{ so don't @ me w/ 'oh yeah; I don't have any link or interest in khaenri'ah whatsoever haha khaenri'ah what is that?? never heard of it } #{{ anyway.

journeys is one of the most disheartening pokeani arcs because you can tell they had a decent setup for it but also that they had no clue what they wanted to do and lost steam partway through

#tbh some of the decisions legit make me wonder if a lot of it was pushed by tpci and they had to make a ton of changes #like. idk if id go as far as saying they made them add ash at the last minute but i do think tpci was weird about his arc here #while im glad they did choose to conclude his character in JN i do feel like SM was a good stopping point for him #and like i wonder if the original plan was for goh to be the sole protagonist bc he feels more realized than ash does in this arc #obviously i dont think that was a plan for very long if it even was a plan at all bc ash is so important to the show #but like at the very least i think they were just confused and not sure how to handle ash #and this is purely speculation on my part dont take it as gospel but i wonder if theres like a ton of mandates around ash #that makes it a bit harder to write stories around him these days. like in OS he was allowed to be a fuckhead basically #but now that hes basically a second mascot for the entire franchise i imagine theres a lot of strings attached to him now #like thats the real reason he never ages or anything its a lot of corporate stuff. #and despite JN supposedly having more freedom than any other series they probably couldnt do too much with ash or something #idk if that really tracks well with SM tho ill have to check once im there #but idk maybe thats why he and pikachu both are weirdly characterized there #echoed voice

I'm going to start sobbing

#I just came here to see what other scenes I could turn into gifs but I got distracted and now I'm overanalyzing allocer's character. again #this is like the 3rd time #jazz as well #but specifically their dialogue and word choice #this is important to me bc I'm trying to write them #and 2 me if I can't read the words in the character's voice then I get very bothered #and and and I love how allocer speaks soo much I find it fascinating especially bc #before I consciously made the decision to analyze his characterization I hadn't even noticed it but he speaks in a very unique way #he tends to use more 'difficult' words and his speech pattern is less conversational #especially compared to jazz who speaks very smoothly #and very naturally #allocer is very blunt but not in a personality kinda way but in a the way he words his phrases kinda way #they're worded very unnaturally and I just find that so fascinating #and it doesn't usually translate to english well bc english is a very inflexible language compared to japanese #but there's certainly ways around it to display his characterization better #I think he would be fun to write. figuring out how exactly he would say things. #but from what I've seen in most fics he's in he speaks in a normal way #bc nobody's gone through the trouble of paying attention to his speech patterns . I'm the only one insane enough #man #if I spread my allocer agenda far and wide by writing my own fics where he's a fully fleshed out character #with his own unique quirks and stuff #maybe ...... ppl will see it and the quality of his fandom characterization will increase overall ...... #lucasings #blorboposting

Hate to break it to you but actors aren’t the only ones who do this on set. Jenna’s just the only one so public about it. Directors and producers are the worst offenders

:) I'm literally also a tv/film director :) and a producer :)

why do y'all insist on trying to explain my job to me and tell me what goes and doesnt go on on a set??? it's NOT the same thing for a director to do an on the fly line adjustment because something works better for blocking or it needs to be adjusted because something changed in the location or WHATEVER than an actor rewriting entire parts of scripts because they thought the script "didnt make sense" and they apparently knew better than the entire writing staff and all the execs that greenlit that script for production.

#also most directors understand what their job is PARTICULARLY on tv and will at the very least try to reach the showrunner #and run any major changes by them #or anyone in the room #this girl just got to set was unprofessional as fuck and decided she was in charge of the story because...no reason #im not one of those people who think actors are puppets that just need to read the lines we write #but its a COLLABORATION #changes happen with dialogue which is exactly why having writers on set in so important #yes scripts change on set all the time but THE WRITER who knows everything else that has gone on in the writing process #for all the months prior and knows what theyre trying to set up for future seasons can make those educated decisions #its not some actor pulling random shit out of their ass #it irritates me so much when you come in here trying to explain shit to me...who does this for a living lol #jortega #hollywood #answers #anonymous
