#you dont see often in media

[do-angels-dream-of-starry-seas]

I know we all talk about the talent in Rhys' acting when Stede screams after Chauncey kills himself (as he should be appreciated for it!), but I remember watching the finale and seeing Ed sitting on the window sill bawling and thinking "holy fuck Taika" cause that hit hard

#ofmd #our flag means death #edward teach #taika waititi #it looks like the snotty nose sobbing youd see irl #its ugly and raw and something #you dont see often in media #let.me.dream.with.ofmd

Come watch dungeon meshi we have a (seemingly) typical white autistic man who doesn't understand social norms, an autistic man of colour who overcompensates for social deficits by being too good at social norms (while still struggling socially), and we even have the "grew up autistic but also Asian so I have a very good understanding of cultural and social norms but I still struggle socially" variety of autistic man.

#this post lacks a great deal of nuance obviously #but seriously i love how toshiro/shuro kabru and laios are all so clearly autistic just in very different ways #you dont get to see that often in media #and Ryoko Kui's writing is really good so she's able to explore the dynamic in pretty interesting ways #dungeon meshi #laios touden #shuro dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #shuro dunmeshi #dunmeshi #kabru of utaya #kabru dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #kabru

#sorry i saw someone say sonic and tails dont see eachother as family at all again and it annoyed me #this isnt even all of the times theyve said it this is just a bunch of stuff i remembered off the top of my head #and also sonic has called tails little bro SO many times across different media that it would be impossible to track them all down #but i tried to include stuff from different media to show that this isnt a thing thats exclusive to one continuity or one period of time #because those are arguments i see people use to prove theyre not brothers #but even if it WAS something that is mentioned a lot in earlier sonic media and not so much in recent stuff. #not mentioning something as often anymore doesnt automatically make it non canon?? especially if theres no new info contradicting it #sonic frontiers spoilers #the sage picture probably looks irrelevant to people who havent played frontiers #but she was talking about sonic and tails there which is why i included it #also i put that aosth clip instead of screenshots from it because i didnt think a couple screenshots would do it justice #you really have to see the whole thing

there's something so comforting about artists you admire talking about their own struggles and insecurities

#txt #was watching supereyepatchwolf's video on chainsaw man again and listening to fujimoto express regret about things he didnt learn #and how he's clearly envious of his peers is so... comforting? #i think about my own strengths and flaws and often times i get so frustrated with my shortcomings #im not good at drawing feet; my backgrounds are purposefully simplistic and lack a lot of detail; sometimes my designs have a tendency to #overlap or feel very 'safe' in terms of what i really want to do #its why; despite my love for clowning on media and animated works. i never want to feel like its from a place of malice #the joy of art is always seeing those little mistakes and nuances. its also noticing the achievements other creators have made that you #still lack #even for a certain hell-based show i love to poke fun at for its many. many issues. its undeniable how incredibly passionate the work is. #and i do respect anyone who is willing to get their flawed media out there (myself included) #i see stuff about people calling me their inspo or how flattered they are when i compliment their work and its like. gee. i hold myself at #such a high bar and even still im always surprise when people tell me how much my work moved and changed them #i really love writing just little fun things that i just dont really see anyone else touching and its kind of fun how despite my own #personal grievances with my own flaws and mistakes #people really do find things that they love within them. #anyways I know this is getting long but I’ve just been getting sentimental abt the creation of art #sometimes people make fun of me for love of drawing women and lesbians and bugs and so on #and while I will never let me deter me from my process. sometimes it does get to me #but then I remember that I love doing this and could ever see myself holding back #and knowing despite how other people feel. I have so many followers who resonate with my weird ass shit #that it’s all worth it. ya know?

"You just KNOW that if Cazador was even remotely hot you would never see the end of people shipping him with Astarion"

he... he is hot? pretty, at least. i feel neutrally about him. there's not a single physically unattractive character in this game. because i'm an adult who goes outside i feel comfortable saying that a character who does repulsive things is physically attractive.

the reason there's not much ship content for him is because he's astarion's abuser and the storyline is explicitly about abuse. like, the storyline is well-written and never confuses or conflates the two things. i need you to have more faith in the idea that people do actually understand the media they're consuming.

#tal.png #i just wanted to see some cool art not people being weird #very often when ppl ship a char w their abuser its bc the media is poorly written. sorry you have to confront that. #also this is one sentence from a much longer post. i dont rlly care about the rest. hating cazador is valid

[jennilah]

my feeds for the last day for some reason: -filled with multiple cases of people just casually shitting on my industry and our hard work again like usual-

me: something save me

in my youtube sub box, like a beacon of light:

#jennilargh #IM SO EXCITED #these videos have been so huge for us you guys don’t have any idea #anyway negative jenna coming through who i dont like to let out often #but wow in a time when our industry is just keeping its head above the water. the last thing i like to see is casual dunking on vfx/cgi lol #i dont see many anti AI people coming out of the woodwork to defend us bc we're so hated. but guess what #our work is done by humans who are actually passionate and love what we do and everyone assumes its dirty disgusting evil computers #so when it actually IS made by a computer will any of these people come out of the woodwork & pretend they always supported us lol #im guessing: they wont #but with these videos at least we can TRY to change the general public's nasty tune towards us. WE LOVE PRACTICAL. WE LOVE DIGITAL #ITS ALL FILMMAKING & THE RIVALRY WAS MADE UP BY THE MEDIA. LITERALLLYYYYYYYYYY

Started watching a "problem with greek myth retellings" video and it began with a blurb montage like "Condemned by the misogynist guys of history, this is the true girlboss feminist story of [A WOMAN]" and like. brb writing one of those about crown prince rudolf. It's ok he's like a misunderstood girlboss to me<3

#NASJASKSDFKDSLFDGJDFJ #joking. since those retellings seem to be often bad #fun fact i do have ideas for like a black teen comedy series with mary as the protagonist where the ending is like a harrowing twist #like you think it won't go that far but it does and the point is that she had historical agency and her own problems and personal journey #but in the end it spiralled catastrophically due to both crown prince rudolf related events and others #unfortunately writing one would draw the ire of both misogynist rudolf conspiracy theorists (how dare you suggest women have agency) AND a #certain type of feminist media critiquer person: (1) how dare you cover a topic like that flippantly 2) how dare you make rudolf anything #but an inhuman monster of a r*pist murderer gr**mer or whatever in the story #like idk man.. other male characters portrayed as romantic interests in mainstream media are toxic r*pists all the time. like omg i hate ho #'the great' handles p*ter and catherine because i was rooting for them to remain toxic and for catherine to kill him or whatever but then #she starts falling in love with him in s2 and everyone in tumblr is like omg hot sexy toxic romance. like cant we have ONE series where #straight romance doesnt inevitably become the overbearing focus?? i had wlw ships for that show.. they never pulled through... #anyway um yeah. the way i would portray rudolf in that is that mary sees him as this romantic hero which is emphasised in the way its shot #but he's constantly acting in kinda offputting and strange ways and is occasionally pretty pathetic and weird ASHDJFJF #^^ that's never been a deterrent to anyone ever. most rudolf biographers want to [redacted] him this has been proven by the way they write. #the only ones that dont are me (well not a real biographer but a rudolf enjoyer nonetheless) and brigitte hamann /hj #(she actually doesnt salivate over his appearance like frederick morton does xD only quotes 2 contemporary women commenting on it)

as someone who likes to occasionally look through the blogs of the accounts that show up in my notifs it really is sad to see so many blogs now just be personalized empty spaces :(

#will see a name/icon that interests me and like 50% of the time theyre just....empty....like ok moving on i guess #i understand that some people like to just have private little accounts but idk its disappointing to see it more and more often #like this is a social media site.....what happened to the social 😔 #cant even see likes half the time #basically a dead account #idk i just cant imagine using social media like that... like what is this instagram #or twitter i guess too #SIIIIIGGGGGHHHH 😔 #how do you foster a community like this? can you? #at least they dont look like bots anymore i guess. one step at a time #it speaks

#what bisexuality does to a mf #ive never paid any attention to buck's previous relationships xcept for queen abby #so im enamoured by seeing him be such a... child with a crush #it's super sweet #and you dont see people like this in media too often! much less queer ppl who arent fully aware themselves #im also making an edit i cant believe no one's done yet

this year was very influential in terms of finding out more of what i want to go forward with and continue using and learning for my style, i went out of my comfort zone and tried to branch out in graphics, design, shading, composition, and sooo much more that i realized are so fun to play with !! background attempter era as well LOL finally💥  anyways jerma meal was my fave piece this year!

#art summary #i didnt wanna put it in the caption but i wanna address the social media aspect of this years summery too #this was the year i rlly got a lot of traction repeatedly on posts and that just is so insane to me. going thru the tags u guys leave and #seeing you guy look forward to what i do/ recognize me often. man that means more than i can explain #just to biggest tys to my followers n mutuals (even if im a sideblog) for expressing themselves in my notes :] i love art and i love being #able to share that with you but also have u guys to make me love it even more. OKAY? #sorry for the sappy little p.s. tags its just tht rlly i do mean it that despite this year being the worst ive had in awhile irl #this was the best year so far ive had with my art becuz of u all ^_^ #2023 will be a rough start but i hope i can make more things for us to smile together with #also i mispelt feb but like i dont care . SUE ME it sounds like tht ok

i think this might be one of if not The only time shadow and cream have ever interacted in the games. which is wild considering how popular a duo they are in fan content

#for context one of the hero missions is to help amy rescue cream #but cream doesnt actually have any dialogue and you dont see her until you find her and then the level ends #so her appearance in shth is more of a cameo than anything #so it was very surprising to see that one of the expert mode messages was from her #i wish shadow and cream would interact more often. i can remember some times theyve interacted in archie sonic #but idk if they have in any other media #ok wait immediately after i posted this i watched a little more of the video and there was also a message from cheese #with cream translating for them at the end which was very cute

Does Ao3 have a reporting system for mistagged fanfics? I am sick and tired of going to the LotRO section on Ao3 only for the vast majority of fics there to actually be Rings of Power or Shadows of War/Mordor fic that the author decided to just tag with every LotR-related tag imaginable for some reason.

#this is such a new problem too #five years ago this never happened #i would also accept a permanent block system so i dont have to filter out the same authors ever time #anyway hot take: you should almost never have more than 2 fandoms tagged on an ao3 fanfic unless you are actually writing a crossover #example: a lotro fic should have 'the lord of the rings all media types' and 'the lord of the rings online' #a star wars fic should have 'star wars all media types' and 'star wars episode 1 the phantom menace' #UNLESS it actually directly deals with events from other movies too #like if it tells a story that starts during the phantom menace but then eventually extends to attack of the clones #then you can also use attack of the clones #but and this one is just personal taste i dont think you should tag it attack of the clones until you actually get to that content #anyway. #im just very tired because when i go to the LOTRO page its because i want to read LOTRO fanfic #there oughta be a separate archive for lotro fanfic how much does webhosting cost it cant be THAT hard #(every day i see more and more independent archives absorbed into ao3 and it makes me sad) #(its good that there are more backups of these archives but it often heralds the original archive shutting down) #the internet needs more decentralized niche fandom sites not one conglomerate

It's definitely mostly a me thing (and I don't have an actual problem when people do this lol), but I hate HATE when people are referring to two characters in a ship and talk about them as each other's "other halves". I hate that phrase SOOO much. Like NO!! they are not two halves that make a whole!! They are two wholes that make something so cool and interesting and beyond themselves!! But they are still their own people!!! (Like technically they're each half of the relationship, but they aren't the other half of each other)

I LOVEEEE when people display characters existing as their own people outside of the ships they're in. It's definitely the aromantic in me but as much as I enjoy shipping, I do not enjoy a character's whole existence in fandom spaces being nothing more than a vessel for a relationship

#i see this so often in the genshin fandom #which like enjoy media how you want to!! i just dont like seeing that kind of attitude personally ig #this is vaguely aimed at some of the kavetham shippers but definitely not all of y'all!! #also this was actually inspired by a chiluc post i saw #shipping #fandom shipping #genshin impact #genshin #aro #aromantic
