quick little dmlx for mimi’s bday!!!
#fe3h#fire emblem#dimilix#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#felix hugo fraldarius#HIIIIIIIIIII i feel like it sbeen forever……………… finals were so rough lol#ok. dmlx first kiss hc:#first time they kiss felix leans in but dimitri’s so delighted that its happening that he can’t stop smiling so it doesnt work. its#just awkward.#& felix is embarrassed obv both by the fact that he’s tryin to kiss someone AND that mimi is THAT happy about their relationship and this#of course comes out as anger. so we have mimi unable to stop smiling apologizing profusely & felix sitting there like i am#trying to do smth here!!! can you just cooperate!!!!!#also i think that felix is ace. this isn’t related but it makes sense to me as him partaking in Relationship Things as sort of a checklist#compounded by him obv not having any experience otherwise either#ALSO the line abt a sword vs a woman’s hand. like ok bud#ykwim………. anyway#idk if this is coherent i have a migraine :-/ but i WILL be speaking more on this#umm uhhhhhh i dont have anything else to say i dont think. the entire time drawing this i had that fucken canadian blackfly folk song stuck#in my head. which does not align exactly w the energy i was trying to convey here. so i hope the vibes of this are ummm normal#speaking of. does anybody remember the nfb animation to that song. bc that shit gave me nightmares as a child i was SO scared of it#anyway. thats literally completely irrelevant#im gonna go sleep for 18hrs hbd dimitri#hbd…… harry budois….. alright

wait wdym dc didn't stick with Red Robin for Tim [and the de-aging thing?] what are they calling him if not RR?
He's been Robin again since 2019 😬 it's a bit more complicated but that's the gist of it.
Okay so Tim became Red Robin in the 2009-2011 series of the same name, back in the post-Crisis timeline. He was supposedly 17 at the time, by official records, and I believe he was still supposed to be 17 when the universe was rebooted with Flashpoint in 2011? (Although this doesn't really make any sense with respect to jamming the huge number of events that happened while he was Robin into like four years, if he was supposed to have become Robin at 13; he should probably at least be 18 if not 19-20).
The Flashpoint reboot took us into the New 52 (much beloathed), where nearly everyone was de-aged to some extent to keep Bruce Wayne and his generation from getting ~too old~, and also Tim Drake was mangled into a completely different character who had never been "Robin"; he'd been "Red Robin" right from the start of his vigilante career. He was de-aged to 16 for the New 52 Teen Titans series.
Tumblr media
Teen Titans (2011) #0; as you can see, this version of Red Robin kept a version of the bandoliers and gave Tim a fancy new functional wing cape that he could fly around with.
Next, Rebirth in 2016 was a partial reboot that brought back some aspects of the post-Crisis timeline; tbh I'm not an expert on this period. What I do know is that Tim mainly appears in James Tynion IV's run of Detective Comics that ran from 2016 to 2018. During this period Tim was still called Red Robin, but he'd basically reverted to a Robin costume, with only the silly doubled "RR" symbol identifying him as not ~actually~ Robin winkwink nudgenudge, and as I understand it he was mostly back to functioning as Bruce's partner.
Tynion's run ends in Detective Comics #981 with Tim telling Bruce that he's going off to Ivy University. (He's totally lying, as Tim Drake does; Alfred notices that his tracker is going off in the opposite direction of the university, but Bruce is like "I trust him" and turns the tracker off. Yay, I guess?)
Anyway the important bit is this revealing that Tim is 'going-off-to-college' age. Which could still reasonably be anywhere from 17-19, and DC being DC, they ~refuse to confirm~
Tumblr media
Tim as Red Robin on the cover of Detective Comics #934 (2016); as you can see, he's pretty much Robin again lol
Tumblr media
Detective Comics #968 (2018); another shot of his "basically Robin" Red Robin costume
In 2019 we got the actual return of Tim as Robin (no "Red") in Brian Michael Bendis's Young Justice run, re-uniting the Core Four from YJ 1998.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #1
As you can see, he no longer has the doubled 'RR', and he confirms that he's Robin - "Well, one of them!" I think he's supposed to be filling in as the Gotham Robin while Damian is running around the world having adventures and presumably getting into trouble, as Robins do? idk.
Tim also chases down his erased post-Crisis past at the beginning of this arc, having Zatanna magically restore (most of) his memories of the previous timeline, and, crucially, his forgotten best friend Kon, kickstarting some plot.
Tim, and all of the Young Justice crew, are notably young-looking for almost the entirety of this run. It varies based on the artist, but uh, yeah for the most part they are really damn baby-faced. This is a trend that continues with Tim and his generation of friends from this point onward, so fans have basically thrown up their hands like "is he 17 forever???? is he Edward Cullen from Twilight???? is he aging backward????"
We Just Don't Know
In any case, Bendis makes DC's next attempt to give Tim his own identity in short order, giving us the hilarious, ill-fated, and rightfully short-lived "Drake" identity.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #10
He's back to being Robin by issue #18, hilariously switching costumes from one page to the next, although some time has apparently passed during the scene transition.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #18; Jinny: "Is Drake back to being Robin?" Kon: "I think Batman and Spoiler made him go back to Robin. Don't bring it up. And say thank you because we didn't have to have the Drake intervention we were planning."
And as of the current date (July 13, 2023), Tim is still in the Robin identity, sharing it with Damian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ God knows how old he's supposed to be right now. I certainly don't.
Tumblr media
Batman (2016) #136; the most recent issue out to date, with Tim suiting up as Robin while filling Bruce in after diving into a bunch of parallel dimensions to bring Bruce home.
As you can see, it's a Mess. The Tim Drake's Vigilante Identity question is of course a hotbed of wank and infighting, as people are torn between (a) wanting him to continue as Robin and (b) wanting him to move on and "grow up" into his own identity again (and, importantly, leave Damian as the sole Robin again, lol).
It feels like most people are for option (b), but then nobody can agree on what his next identity and costume should be. Red Robin again?? Some other bird-based identity that doesn't share a name with a major restaurant chain?? Something else entirely??
God only knows what DC is going to come up with, especially after the Drake fiasco.
And there you have it, Anon! Hope that was helpful.

thinking out loud here, cause all i've seen is a few chapters of the manga and up to Ecosystem Aha Moment in the anime, but i wonder what happens that makes people experiencing Dungeon Meshi go What at ep 11/the Red Dragon
cause i'm already going What at random things here and there akxhsmdn
THE CASUAL DEATH!!!
everyone is so numb to it! like yes Laios is wary around Living Armor (special interest override is so strong here ajchsjdb love) and Chilchuck is traumatized by mimics cause of their first or repeated deaths, respectively
bUT THERE WAS A WHOLE ROOM OF PEOPLE SLAUGHTERED BY ORCS AND THEY WERE NERVOUS BUT NOT HORRIFIED. THEY EVEN BROKE BREAD WITH THE ORCS (literally. as someone who was in AP Lit, i'm enamored by actually using bread for the Breaking Bread trope) AND IT WAS MOSTLY FINE
wait backing up, in like almost every scene they encounter death (esp now with Kabru's party, poor folks wtf) and they set them aside for the corpse collectors (which are giving me the vibes of a Corrupt System and i wanna explore that so bad) with a solemn but ultimately "This is Normal" air
so... like i may have seen some art of my dear Marcille with a skull, and i'm pretty sure Falin lives, therefore i have a guess what that's about. but if the What Thing is like, a revival circle for their dead comrade, that wouldnt be surprising cause these people refuse to accept death as anything but temporary. it's pretty well established.
MORE FUCKED UP TO ME THO IS WHEN SENSHI WAS BETRAYED BY THE KELPIE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
when he was like "This is Anne! She hangs out with me when I fish. I've always wondered if I could ride her across the water."
and i was screaming "NO SENSHI, THE KELPIE WILL DROWN YOU, THAT IS THEIR MOTUS OPERANDI" (Kasper will tell you that sleepy Milo said "status quo" but i meant motus operandi akxhsjdh gods but kelpie are so pretty, i get tryna ride them. i did fucking lose it laughing when Laios said smth like "why are people so relaxed with the mammal monsters" akxsbxjxb we are closer related to them after all. Laios is reminded about Feelings so i think he may have figured it out with Chilchuck's refusal to eat the fish people)
AND THEN SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM. HE WAS BETRAYED BY SOMEONE HE THOUGHT OF AS A RESPECTFUL FRIEND LIKE HE DOES THE GARDEN GOLEMS. AND HE WAS BETRAAAAYEEDDDDDD T-T
and then also skinned her and prepared her for eating, also for Marcille to make soap out of Anne for Senshi's hair, cause tbh it'd be more disrespectful to not use Anne after she tried to eat Senshi. imo

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality
moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.
we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.
Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.
Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.
And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.
With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.
#moonlight chicken#i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out#might edit some stuff later#but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life#which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations#we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him#whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference#but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly)#in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights#but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks#he got reduced to his sexuality#and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before#and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing#and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school#and our dating lives scrutinized#even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are#and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family#so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on#but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet#so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

beaming everyone on the dashh with good brain day vibes!!! i hope that you all can remember to extend self-compassion to yourself whenever you're feeling down about something 💙
#lizzy speaks#the human brain works in such profound ways i think#lately i've been thinking about that post that was like 'you will always be your oldest friend take care of yourself'#it's definitely a sentiment i agree with and i appreciate how it emphasizes the importance of extending compassion to yourself#you wouldn't say such hurtful things to your friends right? (or at least i'd hope so)#so why would you say it to yourself?#you are your own friend too. and i think everyone has a beautiful soul within themselves. nurture it! water it! feed it good thoughts.#basically i wish everyone a 'i hope that your brain is not your own enemy but rather a friend that you can find comfort in'#things will work themselves out with time. there's beauty in life and you will find small delights to cherish!! i am manifesting it for u!!#and for those who find it difficult to transition from a self-critical mindset to one that's more compassionate and nonjudgmental#i truly think that with time you will be able to rewire your brain to be kinder to yourself. i'm proud of you for taking any first steps :)#there are times in which it feels counterintuitive to go against habits that feel hard-wired... but brains are very malleable littel guys-#with such a wonderful capacity for changing and learning new things. so i hope everyone can learn to be their own best friend!#not to undermine the importance of a support network ofc. that's good too and im all for that!! but i hope everyone remembers to be kind-#not only to others but also to themselves!! you're going to do great out there!! i love you all!!#ive just been thinking about this a lot... i needed to get it out there. you all shine so brightly!!! we shall be fine!!! have a good week!#sorry if this is out of nowhere but if there's anything about me you should know it's that i'm the 'hey dont cry 8 billion people on earth-#ok?' post. idk i just find great joy in knowing others are out there thriving and finding a daily delight yknow i love humanity!!

a bit of a mind flip
"That’s not possible,” says Tridentarius, her long hair a colorless oil spill across her shoulders as she gives her head a shake. There really is genuine distress on her face, he thinks. Imagine that. “This cannot be happening. This is simply impossible—” “You know, people are always using that word,” he says, cheerfully. “I don’t think it means what most of them seem to think it means, though. Listen to me for just a moment, won’t you? I promise it’s important. Princess, I’ve come to bargain.”
(Palamedes fights Ianthe for control of the body of Naberius Tern. For everyone else present at the scene, it’s over in an instant. The two of them aren’t quite so lucky.)

Presenting my contribution to this year's @tlt-big-resurrection fic event! It's a not-technically-a-time-loop fic in which everything is nonetheless about time loops—except time loops, which are about endings and new beginnings. And love. And death. And the love that is perfected by death. Ideal for fans of Palamedes Sextus and Camilla Hect, and for fans and/or haters of Ianthe Tridentarius! Featuring artwork by @rhywhitefang, which can also be viewed here. I very much hope you enjoy!

wilby wonderful (2004) things i am not normal about include this piece of an interview with director daniel macivor, as found in an excerpt included in this 2008 livejournal entry which offers an unfortunately currently non-functional link to an article in the strand as source (emphasis mine):
The Strand: How did changing the film's name from Honey to Wilby Wonderful affect the movie in terms of editing? MacIvor: What a good question. The time when I was calling it Honey, there was a whole metaphor about how sometimes the thing that stings you gets you to something sweet. Sometimes you have to suffer for something good. And the town was called Honey… Then I realized I couldn't call it Honey because there was already a movie called Honey, and I didn't want to do that. I started to think about opening it up a bit: What is [the film] about if it's not all about that? And I thought, well, really, it's about hope, and it's got to be about hope. All the stuff I do, I think, is ultimately about that. So I started to think about it, and then … something hit me on the side of the head and said "Wilby." And then the town was Wilby, because that was about the future. And then Wilby Wonderful came from that, and all of a sudden the whole new draft came [from] that title. It's the magical thing that happens with writing: sometimes you have no idea where it's going and then all of a sudden you can't imagine you were ever going anywhere but there.
