I love all the acting choices David and Micheal made for their characters but one I'm especially obsessed with (and frankly I don't see it being talked about enough) is the body language/posture.

David took one look at Crowley and decided this boy is Bouncy™. He has cooked spaghetti for bones. Ninety percent of his walking is done by his shoulders actually. He might be man-shaped but he's actually a liquid constantly changing form to fully fill the container (chair) he's in.

Meanwhile Michael went - We'll he's an angel, of course he's prim and proper and carefully put-together. He has the posture and grace of a classically trained dancer. There is also One Million Bees under his skin at any given moment.

And they were so right.

#seriously how is david tennant a human man so good at portraying what a snake would move like if it had limbs and walked upright #like. you just look at him and **know** that is a lil snek guy. he slithers. he saunters on his two human legs and looks like a serpent. how #and micheal can shuffle through the whole spectrum of emotion know to man in 30 seconds flat with just his eyes. these men are INSANE. #good omens #gomens #david tennant #micheal sheen #crowley #aziraphale

Don’t think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #donnie and leo’s sexualities being practically swapped was unintentional but it works way too well #same with mikey and raph tbh it was a happy accident #anyway I kinda hc raph as the type who doesn’t care about physical appearance just if you fight lol #Mikey’s more than happy with friends and family #Donnie is a BIG romantic but he needs time to sus a person out fully before he gets the hots for them #leo meanwhile isn’t keen on romance unless it’s with someone he grows to really really REALLY trust #I could go on and probably will later (knowing me) but it is late and I am tired haha #turtle art tag #curious as to what everyone else headcanons #the only one of these I’ll defend forever is Bi (female-leaning) donnie and trans leo #all the others can change over time but I really like where they’re sitting right now #I hope these are the right flags too because it was kinda hard to find them #went looking for transmasc flag in particular but I couldn’t find a solid agreed upon version 😭 #ngl a big part of why I hc mikey as aro is because of a pun #my phone often misspells aromantic as aromatic and- and you get it- because aromatic herbs and- and Mikey is a chef do YOU GET IT #note that while I hc leo as bisexual (male-leaning) I still think he’s prob closer to demi in that as well just not as far into the spectrum #if that makes sense #headcanons are fun and hard to narrow down at the same time alas #I made this in like an hour can you tell djjdjd #I drew them all from memory so if there’s anything wrong…shhh #and if you’re wondering for April and Splinter #Both are Bisexual (female-leaning) but April is also Panromantic #I almost wanna make Splinter demiromantic too so Big Mama’s betrayal hits just a bit harder

My purpose and singular mission in life is to make sure queer and/or neurodivergent kids know that sometimes it really is their parents who are stupid and other adults are on their side. This, unfortunately, does not make me popular with their parents. Gonnae keep doing it though.

#kid was very overwhelmed by the theatre environment and panicking and didnt want to see the show cause it looked scary #and the mum was trying to get me to tell the kid its not scary (no i dont lie to kids i told her there are lots of funny bits but a couple #of maybe scary bits too) #and I told her hey listen the bravest thing you can do is tell people you arent comfortable somewhere. youve done so well to do that #and i gave her a program so she can learn more and make an informed decision if she wants to come another time #and i asked her what her favourite things are and she said science and animals and i told her to try the museum its super fun #and her mum was all 'ugh shes a nightmare she's ~on the spectrum~' #and i went yeah me too. and told the kid this isnt for everyone and she did well to tell me and i hope she likes the museum #and like. her mum yelling at her was making everything worse. talking to her like a person with agency? #got her from full panic attack to actively smiling at me in under 5 minutes #sometimes your parents or guardians are in fact being stupid or rude! neurodivergent adults exist! other people see you and hear what you're #saying and won't be mad! #anyway. now IM very overwhelmed but i really hope that kid remembers this and i hope she has a great day #im going to get a coffee and sit under a tree for a while

High-echelon Mawkin suit modules can be pretty wild, and the Energy conversion module in Raven Beak's suit is no exception.

When exposed to an active current or energy field, the module accounts for the level of charged particles in the local atmosphere and converts the detected matter to power. Most substantial forms of power and radiation are compatible with its function, and it's calibrated to work more efficiently when exposed to substantially powerful forms of plasmic matter.

The conversion module is similar to (but should not be confused with) the thermal charge module, which charges the power suit in extreme heat. That technology is also implemented in the protective exosuits found in Cataris' lava zone. The Mawkin use thermal energy to power a number of their facilities: that they'd implement it in their more mobile works is only natural.

Back to the subject at hand, the conversion module's practicality is twofold: to keep Raven Beak's suit sufficiently charged and to maintain his vigor in battle. His particular biometric modifications are such that his suit, combined with his level of physical fitness, can theoretically keep him fighting without fear of exhaustion in perpetuity.

Raven Beak's juiced up version of lightning armor is the inverse of this module: it absorbs charged particles for the purpose of coalescing into a projected wave. The use of lightning armor in this manner negates the function of the conversion module for restorative purposes. Additionally, lightning armor works best against oncoming projectiles, while the reactive conversion module is at its peak when the suit is exposed to ambient radiation or concentrated, consistent flows of power.

Suffice to say, Raven Beak is probably the only person who could stick a fork in an electrical socket and have it do the exact opposite of killing him.

#when i said he looks down on samus' suit upgrade library with pity. this is the kinda shit he's got under his belt to compare. #headcanons #mawkin #chozo #txt #there's a reason the Mawkin make duelists strip down to the bare essentials when they fight over disputes like leadership #in the case of duels over the title of Warlord that reason is 'to ensure the sitting Lord has not grown soft with the wealth of amenities #at their disposal' #the conversion module is one of those things that's hard-wired into his.. #what's the word. cybernetics? Raven Beak has body mods but none of them are cosmetic. they're all for function. #but in any case it shouldn't come into play if he's duking it out with another Chozo in a spear fight. #his rivals for the seat don't have to deal with the immortal god-king who operates at peak efficiency 24/7: just Great Uncle Ashkar #and his fists #those are arguably scarier than the big cannon with its reactor turbines #you could charge this man like a phone #the mawkin were very invested in increasing their warriors' effectiveness in combat. and the suit is for more than just fighting #so a broad-spectrum high power module like that is highly valuable. #electricity. space radiation. charged miasma. you name it: he can probably 'plug in' to it. #he's not invincible and he can't exactly charge his suit in the heat of battle unless he's fighting in a location with great exposure #to charged matter or radiation. just don't fight him in a fallout zone and you're gucci. #i just had the image of him booking it for a nearby power plant to juice up in the middle of a fight snd it made me laugh #grampa's gotta get his talons in the good stuff before fighting it's like cranberry juice to him. it fixes everything. #'drink cranberry juice and eat radiation to get strong like me' -Raven Beak probably

beware my wine rants

#hi im back and experimenting #ive had the gnarliest art block for the past like month and a half sorry! i made this to try to break out of it #for more context this happened on the night we got drunk and watched spiderman 2 (2004) and i looked up the soundtrack afterwards #and fell down a rabbithole bc switchfoot is on it #my dad used to listen to contemporary christian radio (probably still does) so i heard a lot of the more popular Christian hits of the 2000s #also christian stations will play what the fuck ever sometimes if a song can be read in even a little bit of a christian way #idk how christian the fray is (ig they did make 'you found me' but.) but ive heard 'how to save a life' on christian stations #and theres plenty of like. really lowkey christian bands. like switchfoot! and relient k! #most ppl alive in the 00s have probably heard 'dare you to move' just in nature. and christian stations loved that one #newsboys is on that spectrum somewhere i think. they did 'belly of the whale' for the Jonah a veggietales movie #and the dvd bonus features include the music video for that plus the video for 'a million pieces' which doesnt feel overtly christian to me #anyway! i hope everyone likes this vertical format! and the coloring. im still trying to adjust my style for that part #when csp says 'brightness' it does not nean 'color value' which is an issue for my new method #but yknow its a learning curve #furry #queer artist #smth smth #queer comics #trans artist

Have I even shown you all Julian's most recent ref here? No? Well here he is here's my wonderful antagonist son please look at him, there is nothing to worry about with his hand behind his back like that

#delicious artmeats #look a Julian #all of his refs generally contain at least one (1) syringe except for this one. or does it #anyway he's terrible and naughty and I love him #also fun fact!! There is a lightwall installation at Spectrum like what's behind him only I think a bit bigger and with more colors!! #it reacts to touch and to a smaller extent vibration and sends light out from the central point where it's been interacted with #can it pick up footsteps in the hallway? it can pick up footsteps in the hallway. very cool in theory #unless it's dark and the lab is empty and you're trying to avoid someone. or great if its dark and you're trying to find someone.

what is it with the aro community basically reinventing amatornomativity but including (some of) us this time. acting like QPRs are the solution to your problems and obviously theyre more meaningful and important than friendships and what do you mean you don't want a platonic life partner? well if you're "just friends" they're gonna leave you for their romantic relationship eventually — no, no, you can't mean that, "best friend" is either just the same thing as a QPR or not good enough to stay in your life forever. you don't like how you probably won't ever be able to have kids because who's going to let a single trans man adopt a child, and even if they did how would you support them, and no for the last time i don't want to marry anyone even platonically. i do not want a partner ever. ever.

but don't you know that all of us hate amatonormativity? but we're fine with it when we're included. oh and don't you know aros can date too? did you know? did you know you can date too?

you have problems? society isn't structured for you? you have to learn to navigate socially and legally in a world that's built for couples and that's a very distressing experience and you're invisible if you don't loudly proclaim your aromanticism after every room you walk in — but we're gonna keep arguing about shipping. what do you mean you have more problems than people being stupid in fandom? what, is the one aroace character who got "confirmed" off-screen and never mentioned outside of that at all not good enough for you? that doesn't actually change anything for you societally?

but you surely want a QPR. it's totally not just us forcing some watered-down romance on you after you said you didn't want it (but did you know aros can date too? surely you didn't forget that. aros can still love and we hate that you're implying they can't). all of your problems with society hating you for your singleness and aro-ness would be solved if you just got a partner — no, a platonic one, why would you assume otherwise? this is nothing like telling a gay man to just suck it up and marry a woman. see, that would be homophobic, but you? didn't you know that aros can still date?

#aromantic #aro #amatonormativity #sorry this is very much a rant bc tbh i don't really know how to word it in a way that isn't one #idk its just a very isolating experience being aro when its so hard to find other people who are too #(you can't just casually drop a ''my boyfriend'' the way you would if you were gay) #and even the people i do know irl are a lot closer to the alloro side of the aro spectrum than me #or more amenable to platonic partners or qprs or whatever #idk i hope this doesnt come off like I'm hating on the aro people who do want to date or have any kind of partnership #thats not what I'm saying and i hope thatd be clear but you can never be sure #just wish there was more (or‚ yk‚ any at all) political advocacy for aromantic issues #like the societal structures that benefit couples thing i mentioned. let it be possible to have a family as a single parent #that would help me obv but also other people who are just divorced or widowed too #maybe I'm looking in the wrong places to find that sort of thing #but you can find asexual advocacy groups and stuff #working for their political issues #and obv theres tons of groups for gay and trans people #i just havent been able to find anybody doing anything similar for aromantic people

Hm. For a mountain of reasons it looks like I won’t be watching s5

#hi I’ve been away #there’s so many reasons that have been building up to me not watching the end #I didn’t like the direction of the plot of s4 #violently disliked the ending #Noah and the Murray man being horrible to Palestinians #disrespect to Eduardo and no support for poc actors #Eddie obviously #I feel like Steve is either gonna die or become a cop and that’s lame #the whole apocalypse thing is just the wrong end of the sci fi spectrum imo #everything about the plot is just annoying to me I could go on #if they’d ended it after s3 I could’ve lived a life of blissful harmony #like I truly don’t care what happens in s5 anymore #and I can’t STAND spoilers but this will be the first time I look to get spoiled just so I can know #I think st has suffered the curse of a show going on for too long #I really coped with fic after s4 and as a result I am disillusioned by canon #also….teen boy queerbait…I shan’t say more

i asked my school for an extended period of time to finish my classes (which i’m allowed to do with my 504)

but they refused (even though they allowed it for me last year) and said that once i “get myself under control” (said that right after i told them about my asd evaluation), then i can come back to school full-time and i should just withdrawal right now

keep in mind my mom sent them an email about the extension along with my asd eval a MONTH ago and they’re just now getting back to us when the semester is going to end in about a week from today

#what the fuck dude #like #under my 504 #i can do the extensión #i literally did it last year #and no problems abt it #this is such ass #my mom went on linkedin and looked up her boss 😭 #she sent the angriest email back like omg #autism #autistic #actually autistic #asd #autism spectrum disorder #on the spectrum #autistic problems #autism problems

Sometimes I read stuff about plurality and I'm like "haha I do that" but I have no further context so I just let it slide. Not Touching That

#I guess it's similar to any other mental condition #like at what point can you use the label. where's the line between 'this' and 'not this' #everything's a spectrum and sometimes even the Official Diagnostic Criteria (tm) skews... formulaic? #like the people doing the diagnosing are just reading out of a book and looking for buzzwords #that's fine and good but it's not everything if that makes sense?

copy pasting my dms w/ @jewishevelinebaker cuz i'm lazy

y’know re characters aren’t even storytelling mediums. they don’t have to be. but ppl act like they are lol

whether it’s leon’s alcoholism or chris’ inability to keep team members alive or how wesker was tooootally mischaracterized as a fascist in 5 i swear guys it isn’t really him, they’re not actually saying anything. leon’s not a glance into how being a pawn for the u.s. government can have harrowing effects on witnesses of war and forcing people to make difficult decisions that weigh heavily on their psyche, he’s just drinking alcohol in vendetta because it’s a character trait they gave him. chris’ repeated failures to keep teammates alive isn’t a commentary on how the “greater good” sacrifices the many small man with little remorse in order to keep things in line the way they see fit, the games just throw npcs at a meat grinder to emphasize the danger the protagonist is in. wesker being a nazi in 5 isn’t a way of showing the way that privileged men in power left unchecked and surrounded by yes men will do the most unethical things possible because it’s in their mind that they are correct and the only right way of thinking, it’s because the series needed wesker to be a big final boss and well umbrella is already kinda nazi affiliate so fuck it this will do

#sid rants #sid bitches #resident evil #like commentary IS POSSIBLE with these tropes and choices #but re doesn't care about that. it doesn't want to care about that #there's a spectrum of 'you're not engaging with what the source material is trying to say' and #'you're thinking way too hard about it' and unfortunately too many re fans fall on either end of the spectrum #instead of existing in the middle #i think re4make is like. the pinnacle of an example of this #they bring up themes with no intent of payoff and are just there to make the story look deeper than superficial #like they bring up the themes of people 'changing' but don't actually engage with it. they just have people talk about it and that's it #or don quixote. it doesn't mean anything thematically. it's just a work of early spanish literature and this game takes place in spain #like okay. 4 doesn't have to be a storytelling masterpiece. it isn't trying to be or claiming to be #because it isn't. it knows that. but the way fans engage with it sometimes can be mind-numbing lmao #you are forcing meaning where there is none and there are thematically deeper works to indulge in i promise you #sorry that got really ranty lol

[romance-incubomp3]

being avoidant in childhood and teens and then turning schizoid is such a weird experience, it’s like you become a completely different person. you grow up craving close friends but you feel so deeply inferior that you can’t make them yourself because you’re so terrified you’ll embarrass yourself or be hated. you yearn so much for connection that it eats you up. every new person you meet you see as a potential friend but it very rarely happens. and then something happens. you’re rejected or ostracized one too many times. you grow distant from too many people in your life. you’re deeply hurt by people who were closest to you and who you thought loved you. you lose too much in a short period of time. then the stress and trauma causes your brain to change again, and suddenly it doesn’t matter anymore. you couldn’t care less about making friends. you don’t miss the friends you do have when you can’t be with them. you don’t want human connection and cut off the part of you that used to want it. you become apathetic to others. you can no longer remember what it was like to yearn for friends and deep connections. you can’t relate to the person you once were at all. and the thing is you don’t really care.

#szpd #avpd #I honestly like looking at the two disorders as being on sort of a spectrum #they both involve avoidance it’s just that one is based off fear and inferiority #and the other is based on apathy and indifference #and depending on what happens in your life fear of humiliation and being overly sensitive can easily cause one #to eventually become apathetic and just not care
