The truth is that choice is a fairytale. You play the cards you're dealt, and the wise or the strong make the most of it.

hotd's commentary on patriarchy is so much more interesting when you allow yourself to acknowledge the differences in privilege and power between the various women we see. aemma, alicent, laena, rhaenys, rhaenyra- they all have varying levels of privilege that come to them either indirectly or directly. rhaenyra is, ofc, undisputedly at the top. and this doesn't sideline or villainize rhaenyra in any way, because no amount of privilege will change the fact that she is not a man. like otto said: she could be jaehaerys reborn, could be as wise and powerful and mighty as any human being could be, and at the end of the day society would still see her as a woman. as the most powerful woman, sure, but as a woman. and i think that's just a much more salient point- that no amount of power within a system will allow you to breach the confines of that system. no matter how much influence these woman gain within the system of patriarchy, they're never able to be free of it.

#this post is motivated by the people who are trying to claim alicent and rhaenyra had the same amount of privilege #like no they're two different people #same goes for every other woman we see #things like race and class and political station and reputation and access to medieval nukes all shift the scales differently #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent hightower #rhaenyra #alicent #rhaenys targaryen #laena velaryon #aemma arryn #hotd #house of the dragon

Draft art model AU anyway, and see if it draws any wild plots out from hiding. I hear they're usually attracted to the scent of drafts and random frameworks, this time of year.

i have been kicking it around in my mind a bit... some silly bs i thought of for it

One of the things that it's always interesting to see in a gothic noble is what the villain, or the antagonist represents in the narrative as a whole.

The Gothic is a romantic literary response to the historical, sociological, and political contexts of the the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. It's a look through the ruin, the passionate, the bigoted, the decaying, and the irrational rationality.

It's an explanation as to why it's crucial to the narrative of why Dracula is a count, why Jonathan is an inexperienced worker, and why there is so much emphasis on the locals.

"Because your peasant is at heart a coward and a fool! Those flames only appear on one night; and on that night no man of this land will, if he can help it, stir without his doors. And, dear sir, even if he did he would not know what to do. Why, even the peasant that you tell me of who marked the place of the flame would not know where to look in daylight even for his own work. Even you would not, I dare be sworn, be able to find these places again?"

How much contempt, and underlining hatred can one fit in a single paragraph that bordelines on a monologue? Dracula truly holds true resentment towards the locals of Transylvania for daring to try, and defend themselves against him.

He doesn't call them locals, citizens, not even commoners, but peasants. A word that not only signals the kind of social hierarchy that Dracula benefits the most (notice how he also included Jonathan in the social class at the end), but also why he is shown so angry despite Jonathan asking a simple question.

The locals of Transylvania had commited the worst crime in the eyes of the Count, the peasants dared to revolt against their "master" in order to keep themselves alive instead of baring their necks for the slaughter. Even with all of the fear that Dracula has sowed in the heart of the locals, to the point that they obey all of his orders, it's still not enough for him. That fear it's not enough for Dracula because it lacks the concrete submission of his old days as an actual noble class.

The locals of Transylvania fear him for his power and his wealth, but they lack the class mentality that would truly put them under Dracula, and that is eating the Count alive. He calls them fools while they fill their streets with protection wards and put rosaries around their necks, he calls them cowards while we have read how everyone around Jonathan risked the Count's wrath to protect him.

We Transylvanian nobles love not to think that our bones may lie amongst the common dead.

The Count hates the old innkeepers, the coachman, and the passengers for daring to rebel against him, even if he is still the unliving cause of their suffering.

Hell, it's heavily implied that all of that is still not enough to fully stop Dracula, and yet he is still so angry. There is nothing that the aristocratic nobility hates more than the mere vision of how the people they deem beneath them act together to stop their abuse.

#The Count is a complex gothic character in regards all of the stuff he represents both in the good watsonian and the bigoted doylist sense #What do vampires represent? The dying aristocracy trying to hold their fleeting power as the social system shifts in a new century #While still bleeding the working class under them dry #And Dracula as a conqueror a noble and an older experienced man represents that perfectly #dracula daily #dracula #count dracula #jonathan harker

Watching Bungou Stray Dogs and seeing the wild shit that happens in Yokohama every single day made me realise that it's the Gotham of the BSD verse. Imagine being late to work cos a dragon attacked your city or missing your train cos a building got blown up by a Victorian looking dude who's apparently mafia or your fucking math teacher being declared a terrorist on national television along with the craziest and most attractive group of people you've ever seen, one of whom you're certain is the farmboy who you swear you've seen carry an entire cow over his head once.

So yeah, Gotham = Yokohama

Just less Goth and more Homo.

#onlyingotham but Yokohama would be wild #itonlyhappensinyokohama #Hey boss I can't do night shift this week cos the vampire and the tiger are doing their weird courting thing in my neighbourhood #Professor I can't come to class today. Just had a Dazai encounter and I need to go lay down #Just moved to Yokohama and why are there so many attractive older men walking around? Just saw a silver fox dressed for the ball #and a minute later I'm seeing an absolute snack of a man in a kimono?#onlyinyokohama man this city is not good for my daddy issues #New to the city. Had a Dazai encounter. Moving out of the city next week. 5 Stars #Bungou Stray Dogs #BSD #Yokohama #Onlyinyokohama #Gotham #onlyingotham #DC

#had to fix this one before posting it #was supposed to be included in the last post - but didn’t exactly fit with the other images thematically #this building/sector is at the mouth of the entire park — I think it’s spot that manufactures/cans/pumps compressed natural gas?? not 100%#and it’s LOUD. not this building specifically but the 4 dozen other factories and assembly plants that operate on this block #similar noise level to working ground services at an intl airport; the passive noise level is somewhat-distant jet engine at best #hard to capture that aspect in the image — I should do a field recording tho #anyways yeah - it’s fun to drive through the heart of the park at night and listen to the whirrs and groans of machinery #I want to capture more but obv being oblique with a camera in this area or making frequent passes warrants a little more sensitivity #I do not want to deal with cops OR well-meaning-but-misguided working class folk who open carry to their shift at Dangerous Chemicals INC #my art #webcore #internetcore #glitchcore #artists on tumblr #night photography #distortion #noise #art #y2kcore #abstract art #glitch aesthetic #artwork #abstract #industry #infrastructure #machinery

devastating to go into the tag for an obscure vampire movie I've been quietly obsessed with for years to find mostly gifsets of minor characters (played by big-name actors) and review blogs saying they didn't like it :(

@ everyone who made a post saying "I liked it :)" I am blowing you a kiss. everyone who made a lovely gifset or photoset of the cinematography I am tipping my hat. that one poster that said "bro did y'all just miss the Entire Message about class and race or???" I am shaking your hand with enthusiasm there was SUCH a message about class and race

anyway everybody should watch Night Teeth and revel in glitzy flashy modern vampires in LA with me

#finx rambles #night teeth #vampires #apparently the marketing heavily overemphasized megan fox (she has a bit role. she's in like one scene)#so that one's not on the fans #but I am sad about all those people fuming bc it didn't have a poly ending #girl this is hollywood? what did you expect?#invent it yourself? that is what fandom is for?? queer reads have always been about discarding endings and living in the liminal??#(side note I love queer readings of fairy tales. fairy tales class was so fun. god I need sleep or something my brain is on SUCH tangents.)#frustrated by that one post saying 'the vampire-slaying gang leader spends the day after a catastrophe befalls #trying to get his shift covered at work? unrealistic'#bro he's working class. he's poor. he's gotta put food on the table. do you think your job cares about your personal tragedy #this is in fact part of the Themes At Play wrt class. believe it or not.#sad also about those reviews that are like 'eh it was mid' but I've never needed critics to agree with me and I'm not about to start now #I did think the gifmakers would be on my side though #the lighting in this movie???#that whole opening sequence in the credits with the storytelling done through reflections in cars at night?#the color choices??? the lighting??!?!?!?!

One thing I love about Fig's school arc is that it counters a lot of the utopic teen ideas about how high school and being a teenager "should" work. Teachers trust your abilities enough to let you do whatever you want? Swaps classes mid-way through the semester in JUNIOR YEAR, pretty much ensuring that she won't be able to get the full benefits of any of the classes she is taking/has taken. Parents/Guardians that don't prioritize or even really care about academics? If no one cares she has very little reason to actually try, let alone learn good study habits or try to plan for the future.

Get to pursue your passion and live your dream life as a rockstar? That's a full-time job hun, people build their entire lives around something you're trying to squeeze between night classes and solving mysteries. I hope you aren't feeling too tired, you need to write that album we already paid you for. Idk, I just think it's fun to see all the ways having no rules or supervision can be just as detrimental to a child as having too many.

#I love my “Teenagers adults treat like an adult” rep #There's a reason you can't just switch classes whenever you want #and it's because of students like Fig #who will switch classes every two weeks unless you say No.#who will DROP A CLASS SHE NEVER EVEN WENT TO #Because she had a vibe shift #Figueroth “I like having Friends cast on me” Faeth doesn't need people to let her do whatever she wants #She'll do that anyway #She needs GUIDANCE from the ADULTS in her life so she doesn't end up listlessly floating from impulse to impulse for the rest of her life #d20 fhjy #fhjy #dimension 20 #thoughts #if i die #let me die #fig faeth #figueroth faeth

the intimacy of Deku just sitting behind Bakugo in class…

#I could write a NOVEL about this #SO I WILL #it’s such a ‘so close yet so far’ thing like???#and the calm existence between the two #having to be quiet—to pass test papers back between one another—#every shift or sigh or stretch or yawn catching Deku’s attention #and the same for Bakugo’s Professional Eavesdropper ears #ALSO #the imagery of Deku always following behind Bakugo being threaded through something as mundane as class #Deku being seated behind Bakugo is like a funny jab at another annoyance Bakugo has to endure #but it turns into a glaringly obvious thing he would miss if it changed (AND IT DID WHEN DEKU RAN AWAY)#and in a story where tiny details are carefully chosen by the author SURE everyone else’s seats might be randomized #but not bkdk’s #Deku has the cliche anime protagonist desk position AND BAKUGO IS RIGHT IN FRONT IF HIM?#not off to the side or a row over—RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM???#this just reiterates Bakugo as the deuteragonist too #ALSO ALSO it just scratches an itch in my brain #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku #:’)

I need a whole fic where the Cerritos is mistaken for the Enterprise by some type of alien with very high intelligence but very poor visual recognition, for whatever reason.

And Freeman either can't or is too scared to convince them that they're not the Enterprise, so she starts desperately assigning everyone to various roles. Boimler gets assigned as Data, and since he and Mariner are the only people on the ship who play string instruments, the captain orders them to put together some sort of "symphony" because the aliens have heard that that's a thing on the Enterprise.

And it's just Mariner and Boimler frustratedly trying to figure out how to combine her electric guitar skills and his traditional violin skills into something suitably "symphonic" (i.e. thematically trying to combine her more lax/modern way of doing things with his more strict/traditional way).

#star trek lower decks #marinler #lower decks #I NEED these two playing music together #also Stevens gets assigned to play Picard and is way too into it #goes a little mad with power and ends up being the episode's main antagonist #they forgive him in the end though #Ransom is Riker obviously #Mariner gets assigned to play Troi and has a fun time pretending to read people's thoughts and they just have to go along with it #Rutherford is obviously Geordi due to his implant #T'Ana plays Crusher on the basis that she is *technically* a redhead and refuses to elaborate further when questioned #Shaxs is Worf and insists that his nose ridges are forehead ridges #Freeman is Displeased (TM) about having to pretend to be a lower-decker since there isn't a part for her #Tendi works the duty-shift with her and ends up helping her work through her issues about not feeling respected as a Cali-class captain #basically pointing out that success is relative and that she didn't succeed according to her family's standards either #but it doesn't matter because she loves what she does #who knows maybe I'll write it one of these days
