do we think hori is mad at himself for writing mha as relatively pg-13? only bc it caught on and then he couldnt change his target audience? cuz i feel like all this... blood and guts at the end stuff may actually have to do w/ the fact that he wasn’t able to apply darker concepts earlier and now trying to make up for writing something mildly unstimulating to a wider audience and even himself by... doing whatever he’s doing now (or even just ending it).

i guess that’s a huge stretch but what i mean is like. hori really has an amazing artstyle. that’s an indisputable fact. but i can see how someone might argue that it’s relatively childish and/or cartoony... so i guess i’m just wondering if we think he was forced to dumb down his own story cuz... that’s what people expected of him/the art style/the setup.

and i only really mention it bc... im someone who loves the visual style of children’s animation but doesn’t necessarily want to watch a children’s storyline... so i just think.... hori... why are things going weirdly now? why are u so ready to be done w/ ur story?

plus we all know he’s a freak so. idk. nevermind.

#like when i was like... 15... i really used to crave a really violent show but with a young adult premise #like (embarrassing but)#a voltron that touched upon much darker themes #dark themes! thats the word #so ig im just wondering like... is this the story hori always wanted to present?#or was he forced to alter his ideas once he gained popularity #bc it did sorta start as kid appropriate #idk #i just really love the art style and wouldve loved to have seen it go even darker than it is now #at least in a way that made sense #which it isnt rn #hope this makes sense #if it doesnt... too bad #caitie blabs

holy shit I did NOT realize how popular my "I will remove my teeth, for I want to remain kind despite my anger" quote is. I just googled it for fun to see what would come up, a bunch of people are quoting it not knowing who its from, an artist called Kuma made an album titled that, so bizzare

#also people are misatributing the quote to kuma and the first google result for the quote attributes it to them #which is kind of upsetting but not a huge deal whatever #its cool it seems to have entered culture like that #i get very mixed feelings about those instances where something I made got WAY more popular than i expected and #people are reposting it or using it without attributing it to me #i both feel bad when stuff isnt credited to me but also good that my art has expanded beyond my reach #its out of my control kind of and other people have it now #which IS what i want for my art and how i generally think art should be #but it is also obviously causes some anxiety to lose control and really full ownership of something that is yours #i think also there is anxiety about something of mine being taken by someone bigger than me #since they can just claim it as their own and most people will know them as the origin #not talking specifically about this quote btw just any of my work #ive definetly been thinking about that hbomberguy vid lol #i hope any of this made sense im a little high rn

tbh one of, if not my absolute favorite part about ffxiv, is the small little moments/sections where nothing super big or like. Plot Important happens, but that give both the characters and us, the players, some much appreciated down-time to just. Feel things. And to process what's happened and what's going on or to just. Let us exist, in the moment. In a much more grounded and human way than when there's Big And Important Things happening.

The biggest(imo) and earliest example of this is right after the Waking Sands get raided in ARR, and WoL turns to the church for guidance. The entire section of us helping them gather and bury our fallen comrades, and especially bringing Noraxia home to Little Solace so she can be laid to rest in her homeland, by her own people and in their own cultural ways, was so so important to me.

Because it wasn't just replacable allies cast aside for shock value anymore, it was real. These deaths were real and meant something. I got to actually process what just happened, and I got to watch Banana go through it right with me. And not only did it make it feel real, it also gave me a sense of closure. These people, these friends, are dead, but they also got to be treated with the respect they deserve and laid to rest properly.

And that, more than anything else, made me want to save the world. It's grounded and grounding. This world, and these people, meant something to me, the player.

And there's tons of stuff like that throughout the game, especially in shadowbringers and endwalker.

In shb we have, for example, Lyna venting her anger and frustration after the sin eater attack in Lakeland. She's on her knees yelling on the verge of tears while punching the ground, so furious at her helplessness and powerlessness, at everyone having come so far yet set back because some megalomaniacal tyrant deemed it so.

In ew we have Urianger being approached by Moenbryda's parents, who confront him about not confiding in them about his grief. When Bloewyda starts to scold him, he of course reacts guiltily, believing they blame him, only for him to be completely caught off guard when she instead goes in to hug him, telling him he should have let them grieve with him. And he just. Breaks down. He's been holding these feelings, this grief inside him all this time, and now that he is not only told it's okay to let it out, but by her very own parents at that, he just can't keep it in anymore. He cries for Moenbryda, right then and there, being held lovingly by her family.

And the thing is, these scenes aren't necessary, strictly speaking. The plot at large could go on without them, the events that happen around them are not changed by these moments in any way.

But still, they are so so important, to the world, to the characters, to the players. Everything feels real and impactful now, every death means something, every tragedy, every person, feels real.

And that, to me, is what makes this story so special.

#and this isnt even mentioning my absolute favorote of this kind of moments #which is the twins' conversation while held hostage in tertium #its not as emotionally intense as the ones i listed- its not even really about their emotions much at all #but its just. such a good scene that demonstrates just who they are and what their dynamic is and just. them.#im not going into that scene rn bc if i did id end up using all the tags to rant but like. its So Important to me okay #i think about it constantly #this game is just. so good at making the characters feel like real people with real feelings who reacts to everything that happens around #them #oooouuugh i am unwell. i will never be normal about this game. ever.#warrior of light #wol #banana pepper #lyna #urianger augurelt #moenbryda wilfsunnwyn #< in spirit #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #xander rambles

Thinking abt how Will and Hannibal are like that old myth where you can cure a werewolf by calling it by its Christian name, making it remember that their true self is human. Except, with them, Hannibal saw Will for who he truly was, allowing him to become the monster he was on the inside.

I read a little about yakuza & mafia customs 😋 is ot accurate? No idea, but, consider; hehe.

#The rituals are intricate etc etc #It's just a manly bonding loyalty kiss on the cheek dwbi #Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #Hajime hinata #Sdr2 #Super danganronpa 2 #Danganronpa 2 #Danganronpa #Kuzuhina #Ok I'm bored rn but basically #What it said is that the Olde Traditions that arent maybe as common as one would think #Is that u kiss the back of the hand. But a lot of the time it's just a saying 'I kiss your hands' rather than the action #But 2 mafia members would kiss on the cheek bc they're of equal standing. The Boss isnt a part of that obvi hes the boss #Which is why Fuyuhiko The Boss doing a 'we're equals' gesture is meaningful. To me. Bc I said so #AGAIN MAYBE SUPER INACCURATE LMAO it's just what some articles said #Yakuza have the pinkie finger thing which dont worry I got plans for that too #2 dudes swear a special brotherhood loyalty bond and I am in the background cheering throwing popcorn losing my mind

yknow what i was reminded of this and it’s been sitting in my drafts for awhile:

i feel like Nico is a very unique disabled character particularly for a YA fantasy series because he’s one of the few instances where I’ve see a character who becomes disabled gradually over time rather than having a pre-existing or sudden new disability, and he has an invisible disability, and it’s actually acknowledged and discussed to some degree in-text.

Most of Nico’s disabilities we see through the lens of Nico’s powers, but not exclusively. In the first series, Nico’s powers are extremely dramatic - he’s able to create large rifts in the ground, generate building-sized slabs of black marble, direct armies of skeletons, summon and control large groups of ghosts at once, and accidentally shadow-travel halfway across the world with very little drawback.

But over time, contrary to what we’re told of how demigod abilities work (becoming more powerful over time), Nico’s abilities decrease as the series progresses, particularly after he goes through multiple traumatic experiences and physical injury. In HoO and TOA, we see he never fully recovered from the neglect to his health over time and injuries he’s received.

I feel like it’s really important to acknowledge that Nico is an instance of a disabled character who gradually loses the ability to do things to the same degree he used to before, which is an important disabled experience.

#pjo #percy jackson #nico di angelo #meta #this isnt going into the specifics of his disabilities #but the use of his powers to highlight his disabilities is really interesting in the narrative context of demigods #to me at least cause it highlights the shift in his abilities really well in the universe of the series #and also! the narrative doesn't infantalize him for his disabilities! which is nice!#my brain is mush rn [typing these tags] so i cannot get into my full thoughts on this atm #but i have Many Thoughts on Nico's disabilities #disabled nico

i do agree, in many ways, that fandom tends to prioritize shipping over like... actually enjoying characters' dynamics and friendships and what makes them unique LMAO but sometimes i see the way people talk about shipping and im like. i feel like you're missing the point here. i don't make and consume mostly romantic (or queerplatonic, but that's a whole other conversation) fanworks because i can't appreciate the characters' friendships. i mostly consume romantic fanworks because the canon already does the characters' friendships so well. if i wanted to see characters be friends, i would go watch the show. they're not kissing each other in the show, and that's why i turn to fanworks for that stuff

now when its media that does not do the friendships well enough, then i am all over the platonic fics, hello kiddads from dungeons and daddies-

#the whole other conversation with queerplatonic mostly boils down to 'neither canon nor fanon does it enough and i always want more' lol #and of course the usual conversation about how QPRs are often boiled down to 'really good friends' which just isnt correct #and-- okay no i cannot have this whole conversation in my tags rn I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS THOUGH.#mine

Will enby Helsknight/trans Tanguish/top surgery scars/stubborn avoidant Welsknight in a gender crisis make it into the main story of RnS? Like, a full acknowledgment of it? Because yes, us on tumblr are aware (and happily bully RnS Wels for it) but I’m curious to how it may be brought up in the main storyline instead of rambles and drabbles. (Don’t get me wrong, those rambles and drabbles are what get me through the day. But my best friend, who isn’t in the MCYT fandom whatsoever, just caught up with RnS and doesn’t use tumblr, and besides spamming her with tumblr posts I wanna know how much I can revel in the glory of the skrunkles with her!)

That is a great question, actually. And the answer is I don't really know.

So this is one of the downsides to writing things chapter by chapter. If I had gone into this going "oh heck yeah they're trans", this would've come up in the plot way sooner. It's nice information 1) for all the trans folks reading and 2) because it has the potential to inform the themes in the narrative. This whole story is about two chief things I think: death [the inevitability of] and identity [what defines you and why]. Why should you care if literally no one else (including the universe) does? That would be so cool to speak about in terms of a trans allegory! Why do you care about gender when it's just one thing in a world of crazy things? Or at the very least, how does it inform your identity? But this is a change I made on a whim suddenly, and I know Exactly Where I Want This Plot To Go, so trans topics and allegories as Plot Points probably won't happen.

On the more technical side of introducing trans characters -- how do you do that without just dropping "oh btw they're trans" in? Like, how do you make it a relevant thing to talk about, that doesn't feel forced or shoehorned in, especially this late in the story? Probably me overthinking, but I read it done wrong so often. It gets tired. And if I ever work on my original stories, there are trans characters in there! If I can figure out how to Do It Well in a fanfic, then I can figure out how to do it in original fiction someday maybe. So I kinda wanna take the introduction seriously? I've actually been thinking about it so much I've thought about rewriting the intro to the next chapter ahaha [it already needs rewritten in general, there's a lot going on, but the intro was going to be Helsknight waking up from something, and he sleeps shirtless, and not addressing top surgery scars then would be kinda silly I think.]

I can say at the very least, Gender Avoidant Wels probably won't factor in the story much. He is a character, but I don't think he'll become Enough of a character to faithfully address something like a trans self discovery arc. At best his issues with gender might be mentioned in passing.

Sorry! I know you probably want a better answer! My answer is basically: I don't know I'm still working on it. I want it to be there, but the capacity it's there is undecided.

That being said, I've been sitting on this glorious ask since the shenanigans started and the temptation to just Do That grows every time I read it:

#rns asks #trans tanguish #nonbinary helsknight #anonymous #no one asked but i think to date #the best intro to a trans character ive seen #is from the book 'what moves the dead'#where the mc explained they were a soldier and when you join the army you get assigned pronouns that only soldiers get #and they explain some people join the army to fight and some join because their old pronouns dont fit #and i dont think the mc ever defined why exactly they chose to be a soldier #but hey thats their pronouns now take it or leave it #them being a soldier has impact on the plot which means #even if the story isnt a trans story [about being trans] their pronouns still have weight and importance #the long pronoun explanation has a very compelling reason and never feels odd or forced #and it gets even more interesting in the second book 'what feasts at night'#where the soldier's PTSD has a direct effect on the ending of the story #[sighs dreamily] goddamn it T Kingfisher how do you always write so good #anyway enough about my writer crush on Kingfisher

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH/pos

I FINALLY got around to watching the new Dragon's Rising clip and just- OMG

First, the entire lavashipping community has been FED

Like, every interaction those two had was just 🤌

PLUS, them being uncles to Arin and Sora!? WONDERFUL

Also- CHRONOSTEEL!?!? HELL YEAH

I mean, vengestone is cool and all, but the concept of chronosteel was so cool and had so much freaking potential that the og show(s) did absolutely nothing with, so THIS IS AWESOME TO SEE.

PLUS EVERYBODY SWITCHING PARTS AND USING EACHOTHER'S POWERS!?!? SO. COOL.

Lobbo is love, Lobbo is life, LOBBO ANGRY

The little rocky-fire dudes are back. Love to see them

"Here, take my legs," lol. Sounds like something out of the Lego Movie universe, but it is also so normal for Ninjago, considering we've had mechs since season 1

Fight choreography looking EXCELLENT per usual 👌 (Also Arin just kicking and climbing around like normal while everyone else is in mechs. KING 👑)

MECHANIC IS BACK 🎉🎉

Fire vs. Ice Dragon beam clashes>>>>>

SORA USING THE FIRE POWER IN THE LEGS OF KAI'S MECH TO FLY. LOVE THIS.

The fact that we only got little snippets of Kai using his fire power to fly like Iron Man before they learned Airjitzu will haunt me forever. Like, ITS SUCH A COOL IDEA. And was obviously useful every time we did get to see it. Plus, it was like the FIRST THING he did with his powers after getting them. Just- UGH (Sorry, siderant over)

Love the new suits, too.

Overall, it was just 🤩🤩🤩

I'm so FREAKING excited dude, like IM VIBRATING-

#ninjago #ninjago kai #ninjago cole #arin ninjago #ninjago sora #dragon's rising #lavashipping #ninjago dragons rising #there are probably more applicable tags but my brain isnt working rn so #my only. ONLY qualm with this is that it looks like they're gonna retcon the qualities of chronosteel for a bit #cause in s7 when the time blades absorbed the time twins' powers it just completely took them #like the crystals from s4 (also an underexplored concept imo)#but now it looks like they can just channel elemental power WHICH IS STILL SUPER COOL #and not too different so idrc #cuz its either that little retcon #or kai cole and sora just straight up trap their powers in these mechs and have to figure out how to get them back #which would be...interesting??? ig???#BUT OTHER THAN THAT ITS PEAK #10/10 have already watched again #and will continue to do so #several more times
