and exactly no one will understand that reference but i swear i’m funny guys i promise-

Azure @ the Jade Emperor: ALL YOU DO IS SIT AROUND ALL DAY AND MOOCH OFF OTHER PEOPLES SUFFERING Azure, after sitting in the Jade Emperors seat: oh shoot hol up this is so much harder than i thought I’d be breathing is hard-

REALLY GOTTA READ THE BOOK

I LOVE HOW MUCH THEY’RE SAYING THIS HELP

(Crew’s not so subtle wink wink nudge nudge at the fandom READ THE BOOK (joking joking)) (but no seriously read the book its a banger)

NOOHOHOOOO maybe a little

THE CREW REALLY HAD A  BLAST ANIMATING THE SILLY LITTLE GUY

heck dude “thats not the point! its so we can never worry about anything or anyone every again!!”

THEY’RE SO SILLY

THEY WERE SO SILLY

.

yeah that’s fair

Okayyyy

OKAYYYYYY

NOT BAD

STILL MACAQUE’S OPINION THO WHICH I DON’T FULLY TRUST STILL

ITS SO HAAARDDDD

CAUSE MACAQUE LIKES TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT WUKONG WAS THINKING IN FEELING BUT HE DOESNT’ ACTUALLY KNOW SO HE MAKES HIM OUT TO BE THIS HYPER AWARE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS LEAVES HIS FRIENDS BEHIND GUY, WHILE AZURE MAKES HIM OUT TO BE THIS LITTLE GUY WHO’S COOL AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT LEADER BUT DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE WNATS OR WHAT HE’S DOING AND NEEDS GUIDENCE SO WHICH IS THE REAL MONKEY KING HUH? MY BET IS NEITHER OF THEM REALLY KNOW

Rn tho I’m definitely leaning towards what Macaque’s describing because ITS NOT INFANTILIZING HIM SO I’LL TAKE IT

HOLYU CRAP IS THAT HTE MOUNTAIN

HOLY CRAP IS THAT THE MOUNTAIN

THEY SHOWED THE MOUNTAIN?/???

THEY’RE SHOWING THE MOUNTAIN???

HOLY CRAP??

MACAQUE CAME  TO VISIT HIM IN THE MOUNTAIN???

HOLY CRAP???

Small beef here, but the whole point of Wukong’s punishment was so that he could see the world move on without him like, the worst case of FOMO (fear of missing out) you ever done experienced, watching stars die and new ones be born and landscapes change and people pass and not being able to be a part of that. Being totally underground kinda defeats the purpose of that bUT THAT’S SUCH A NITPICK FOR ME TO MAKE BUT I ALWAYS DO WHENEVER THERE’S A VERSION WHERE HE CAN’T SEE THE SKY OR TIME PASSING- DANG WHATS WITH THE CHAINS I’MGBSDLFKMD

man its how angry

HOLY

WOW

HE’S SO BITTER

THIS IS AMAZING

THIS

YES

OKAY

YES, WUKONG BEING THIS BITTER? YES ABSOLUTELY, HE’S IN TIME OUT AND HE’S ANGRY  ABOUT IT

HECK

MAN WHAT’S WITH YOU MACAQUE

ITS SO FUNNY

BELIEVED AS IN PAST TENSE

OH FINALLY

FINALLY

OKAY MK FINALLY HAS SOMEONE WHO’S NOT TRYING TO PUSH THEIR VIEW OF WUKONG ON HIM SURE ITS SOMEONE WHO’S DONE IT LOTS IN THE PAST BUT HECK I’M ACTUALLY OKAY WITH THE FACT ITS MACAQUE Y’KNOW??

ALRIGHT FOR NOT VILLIANIZING WUKONG SO MUCH LETS GOOOOOO

I am so basic my gosh hGLK;SAJDF

Macaque’s suddenly got such quiet open narration here its heck

im bout to do my physical media rant baybe i keep trying to find some of my favorite cartoons n shit on DVD and SOO many of them only have like the first season and maybe the second physically and IM LIKE WHAT you went ahead and made a DVD for this series but couldn't be bothered to do like??? the rest of it??? and i ALMOST understand it ya know you wanna release the first season and see if it sells well before going and doing the rest, but also that's dumb? i don't wanna own only ONE SEASON if im going to buy a dvd for a series esp one that's already finished, i want to be sure it's THE WHOLE THING i'm not going to buy just a lil bit im going to wait for the full series to buy it so i know when im rewatching i don't have to like stop half way through and go watch the rest of it ONLINE GRRR GRRR do the full series or don't do it AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! im about to start buying bootlegs

#civetrambling #physical media #sorry i started collecting DVDs like last year and now im a nerd about it #just lIKE WHY #cant believe kipo age of wonderbeasts got a full series release on DVD but bojack fucking horseman didn't #i mean they are for very different people of course but like in the sense that they are both popular animated netflix series #like i was waiting for infinity train to fully release on DVD to watch it since i thought that would be fun but now im just gonna have to #fucking pirate it i GUESS #witch i dont have a problem doing but i like collecting things okay #love cartoon network for actually bothering to make good dvd box sets for their popular series you go kings #i need DVD bonus features or im going to die

[red-dyed-sarumane]

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish #like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already #if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible #but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv #besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth #its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the #over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet. #if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120 #which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs #and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive #do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100 #but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks #do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms #if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

 “...That’s another reason why this Soap and Ghost relationship works, right--is that, for whatever reason, y’know--that doesn’t need to be talked abut now...but--Ghost has, well it’s clear that Ghost has a huge amount of respect for Soap, right? And he wouldn’t let anybody--in fact, for anybody else to talk to him the way Soap does would mean a different thing--but they’ve been through a lot together. But what’s great about that moment--and I’m glad you brought it up Neil-- it that [Ghost and Soap] are pushing each other to evolve without even realizing it. And for Soap to say something like that costs something for him. And for Ghost to correct the record and say what he says, that costs something too. And I think, again, that’s why this game is so satisfying is these characters--they’re going to places they’ve not been before. But they help each other get there. And I think that’s a good theme that’s come out from this game is that, you know, they need each other.” 

-Samuel Roukin on Ghost and Soap in MWII (x)

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of that interview from yesterday. Not even from a shipping stand point, but Samuel just like seems to get it when it comes to what makes Ghost and Soap scratch at everyone’s brains and I think that’s awesome. 

#ghostsoap #soapghost #call of duty modern warfare 2 #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #modern warfare 2022 #i see the line he's toeing and i respect it though -- i think we should just let Sam speak about things like he KNOWS okay #tbh the interview did have some cringe moments but i don't think neil and sam could see the chat and that's where most of the fuckery was #the only other 'cringy' fan question was someone asked 'ghost and soap: bromance or romance' and the interviewer immediately shut it down #neil and sam were just kinda like o-o like it went by so quick and they didn't get to say anything so #also a lot of it just felt kinda awk in general tbh i mean it was live #ALSO they both said like they support all the fans and whatever kind of shit is happening on the internet so #like neil was like 'gaming is for everyone' #and sam said something similar too that i'm not remembering really but the link to the full interview is there so watch for yourself

many takes on madwheeler are ooc yes i agree but like. you cannot just ignore the existence of the classroom nosebleed scene. mike was sitting next to max for a reason. they could've put someone else there, like lucas or dustin, who are definitely closer to her than mike. BUT THEY DIDN'T. they put mike there AND MADE IT A POINT TO FOCUS ON HIM NOTICING HER NOSEBLEED. why. Why Is That. you can complain about madwheeler all you want but you can't just. turn a blind eye to the fact that the two are undeniably paralleled to one another and are probably going to interact next season. lol

#i love madwheeler guys!!!!! #there is so many fanon interpretations of them atp though that like. everyone seems to be fucking forgetting that THEY ARE PARALLELED TO #-EACH OTHER. ALL THE FUCKING TIME #and saying that is NOT taking one's trauma away from the other. watch the show #. it is literally Right there. plain and simple. lmao #and it's not mischaracterization to say this & that the duffers aren't showing us the full extent of their relationship 😚 as we still have #-a whole 8 episodes to get through okay!!!!!!!! #okay. im done. rant over #stranger things #madwheeler #st.txt

i am officially, FINALLY all caught up again in both the manga and the anime for bsd and OH BOY there are thoughts and opinions but also WHO CARES because my tags are finally FREE to be unfiltered

#hnnnnnn #i am SO happy #i am BEYOND happy #i love the arc even if i complain about it a lot #but i am also hnnnnnn…….displeased……..with a few things #the anime fr about to catch these hands #i already KNEW they were rushing it from the few episodes i had watched #but the anime is usually SO good at pacing #that i fully trusted that certain things would be slowed down for significance/impact/etc #but instead the pacing just stayed WAY too fast for me #and they ended up cutting SO many small moments that had SO much importance like im going crazy about some of them #some of the lines they cut……. #or even adjusted slightly that it drew away the impact #ugh i KNOW there was a LOT to balance and a LOT of content to get through #but i am a little disappointed that so many emotional scenes were what ended up suffering for it #this is why i don’t usually like reading the manga for animes i watch #i always end up getting disappointed by the limitations of adaptations #that being said though regardless of general limitations i don’t think some of the rushing is above criticism #and i am going to go and eat glass while seething over the particularly offensive rushing/cuts😤 #OKAY DONE that’s the last i’ll say about it i would just go crazy if i didn’t vocalize it somewhere #in general i was VERY happy with the arc in both the manga and the anime i have SO much love for it #definitely a favorite for me #and THAT concludes my very vague no spoiler review #i swear one of these days my self control is going to snap #and im just going to start posting my full essays and content analysis shit about everything i watch here #but for now we’re safe and all my rants will stay spoiler free tag paragraphs instead godbless🙏

[attaches my izzy hands apologist pin to my vest] kind of fucked up that some find izzy Irredeemable when we have seen him do next to nothing violent or even particularly mean, whereas we know ed made fang shoot his dog and then shrugged at him while he cried about it and also, apparently, regularly forces people into autocannibalism for the smallest of transgressions. which is not hate towards ed! he is a pirate and this is typical pirate behavior, and if ed wasn't prone to violent behavior then that would make his path towards self acceptance and kindness weigh less than it does. but it does seem as if izzy has only ever been the enforcer of blackbeard-slash-ed's Rules and Regulations, and while ed seems happy to abandon all that and turn a new leaf because he fell in love, izzy is left with the harrowing memories of what he has done For Blackbeard, in blackbeard's name, and wondering what the fuck happened.

#our flag means death #izzy hands #like. imagine you are a pirate and yr captain says to you. hey. i need you to kill for me. #and i need you to stand witness to all the horrible things i will do to maintain my status and power #because that translates to (relative) safety and wages for you & all the men under you. #and i need you to enforce my rules - which means execution if necessary. and it often will be. #and you say ... okay. because he's your captain and you're loyal to him above all else. #(and how rare is that? in a culture of mutiny and dog eat dog. a captain who's worth the weight of being loyal to him.) #(a captain so respected and feared that all other ships tuck tail and run at the sight of his flag.) #so you kill for him. and sacrifice your men for him. and when he says to burn a ship full of sailors you burn that ship full of sailors #and watch to make sure there are no survivors. #& then one day ... he decides he doesn't want to do that anymore. he's not into the killing and the torturing and the #overwhelming violence that pirating often requires. #and so you're left standing there thinking. okay. but what about all the killing i did for you? did that mean nothing? #what am i supposed to do with all of this blood on my hands? #on both of our hands? #but you're not allowed to mention that. it's impolite to do so in the face of your captain's new lifestyle #full of people who have never had to bury their sense of morality in order to survive another day. #they might get squeamish. they might think poorly of him. of you.

it's been over 2 weeks and this thing (unfortunately) still has a grip on me

#rant in the tags coming so please do scroll away if you enjoyed the finale 🙏 #you know how with some things you'll be like 'I had some negativity towards this thing but-- #now that it's been some time I feel better towards it'? #my thoughts on the finale have only gotten worse since it released 🥲 #being given more time to think on it made me notice more things I had wrong with it #like I really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but it is so difficult #when I tried ranking the episodes from best to least favorite #I'd come to realize that I couldn't put either finale episode above the other for the bottom two #they both gave me the same feeling of being doused in ooze 😭 #I've written a good handful more thoughts on why I disliked it since the last rundown I had posted #though I'm afraid if talking about this is considered cringe or old news now that it's been a minute since the eps came out lol #I've watched the finale in full two times just to take everything in but I don't think I can do it again anytime soon #I think there's about 8-10 mins of the finale that I genuinely enjoyed #the rest making me want to cry in disappointment or was just 'okay' to me #just gotta 'it is what it is' my way through knowing the show ended like That. we stay silly! #however- writing about it does give me a little bit of relief lol #adventure time #at #fionna and cake #petrigrof #simon petrikov #betty grof #my post #my art

For all the shit Twitter was talking about Hazbin hotel... I was not ready for chapter 4

#I mean yeah that shit is triggering as fuck okay #i was expecting them to handle it worse? maybe as just another edgy topic to talk about? or simply not as important #i have a weird mix. but sitting through it didn't felt mocking or I don't know I don't have the words #all i can say is that i oddly feel better after watching it #why did they make Hazbin Hotel like that i was ready for not giving a shit about it #so it's not cringy edgy demons or whatever it's about fucked up people but people nonetheless? hmm #i hate twitter i genuinely hate twitter discourse. what a whole new kind of hellhole. #and not to dismiss the valid points of criticism they migh have against the show. #but the site is just full of things that deal me mental and emotional damage #i was feeling bothered by angel dust and I knew that was exactly what the point was but STILL fuuuuck i did not expect them to land that hit #despite it all #im blabbering #so sorryyy

god I know this is like The Wrong Stance on AI. I know its not about whether the art is Real and Human or If It Has A Soul and how a lot of the arguments against it are the same bullshit arguments people made against digital art like I Know. I Knowwww. but god, I'm really sorry, not to post like one of those annoying poetry bloggers I cant stand (yall are valid, live your truth, theres nothing wrong with what you post I'm just a petty bitch who hates poetry. unless I dont hate it.)

But theres just something about the way AI art will almost certainly never be able to mimic the exact way my pencil leaves an indentation in the paper, the way some of the lines I can never fully erase cause I pressed too hard, theyll have to at least train them to draw with a physical pencil first, and sure, they could train it to draw with a pencil and even erase the exact same piece I drew, line for line, on a piece of paper with a robot arm powered by AI, but they can't replicate. idk. the lineage of lefty bitches in my family, and the way I grew up going through school with my entire left arm silver with graphite, from doodling on my schoolwork. not yet anyway. but I guess I do live for the day we make the ai sentient enough that we can traumatize it by giving it homework after kneecapping its executive functions so it copes by drawing a big tiddy lobster monster. sure

#toy txt post #reblogs OFF i dont trust yall to be normal with this one i do NOT want it getting notes #i posted part of this before in a chat to a friend but im feeling it again. so #i havent drawn my big tiddy lobster bitch in awhile i should draw her again #also yea SORRY im sure this is The Wrong Feeling To Have About AI but also sometimes im a little grateful that i dont think my style is #smth a lot of the ppl coding ai to make art find to be worth trying to replicate except maybe as like a fake progress shot on a piece #which is smth i used to be really insecure about. how unfinished all my art looks bc it isnt to the point i cant fucking watch #like speedpaints and shit bc i just start feeling stupidly insecure about all the points in the video where I Would Have Stopped and been #like. im not touching it anymore i dont want to ruin it #and ive been insecure about my inability to really do digital art with like a stylus and shit like the way i do it with a pencil #and i know that is just me needing to Practice it but being too frustrated by it #anyway i know its just a Tool and its Fine and the problem is the art theft and the labor problems of it but liiiiiiike #i just. #im sure there will be unique things and usages of ai as a tool and i genuinely hope that ppl can figure out a way to make one that isnr #isnt* just full of stolen content bc theres unique fuckin shit about like digital art programs u can write stupid poetry that you hate #about it. or stupid poetry that i hate. cos im the poetry hater. listen. i cant stress this enough: its fine. youre fine. keep posting your #poetry and reblogging shit that speaks to you. im just a Bitch okay Ignore Me #i should go draw bokrae like. eating a computer about this #the real reason for that graphics card shortage was bokrae ate them all when she was in the mood for a crunchy snack

Random limlife Scott rant, GO!

I got this ask and decided that I’d give it my best shot but got so mad on my skim through some of the moments I remembered that I gave up.

#Okay im half joking #I got angry enough for me to decide that writing a post without careful consideration would probably lead to an inaccurate little ramble #I need to like. actually sit down and watch limlife and do a full overall analysis #because the context for how scott acts each season is so important. a skim just wont do #The reason I dont have notes on him to share with the class already is because when it was coming out I was pretending that— #Scott grew as a person after 3l and I wanted to believe that so badly I started making stuff up about memory erasure and limlife being— #dubiously real so that I could look the other way when scott started being weird about jimmy again #I was like yeah they barely remember it thats why scotts being uncomfortably weird about jimmy this season #not because scott doesnt think about jimmy like a person and just wants to hear him say words that make him feel better about his— #rough relationship history #not because the idea of jimmy gaining independence from him makes him feel insecure or anything #sighs. sorry im just saying things. again its been a while since ive watched it so I need to actually. Yknow. Watch it before making posts #Its just crazy how he treats it like proving a point more than actually caring #“I mightve given you the 30 minutes last week if youd said love you” he wouldnt have. he was already leaving when he said it #he’s literally just trying to get him to feel bad about not saying it #pretty sure he kills jimmy in the same episode he lets jimmy kill him. Like. He doesnt really care like that #He just likes to pretend that he does. He is going through the motions of caring #Its like he needs to believe jimmy still needs him. in like a possessive way. Its really weird man #I will say though since I see this a lot: I dont think him singling out tango in the 30 seconds scene was intentional #because if im being honest. I dont think he sees the ranchers as anything serious #He assumes tango was just putting up with jimmy bc he had to. He doesnt think tango actually cares about jimmy #in his mind no one actually cares about jimmy. because if scott struggled to care about jimmy and Scott is known for being an amazing ally #that must mean everyone else struggles to care about jimmy. If that makes sense #rant over I think. tldr limlife scott analysis postponed until I get my life together enough to be able to sit down and watch forthree hour #bree barks so fucking loud #asks

Every time I think about getting hardcore back into star wars I almost immediately then see a post all about how Anakin is the worst most abusive person in the world and I'm just *sighs* maybe I won't then!

#a bit of an exageration this time but like legit this always happens #this time it was a post i dont have the full context for bc i havent watched ahsoka yet but idk #for the specific thing it was getting on him for im like?? okay he was 19?? he was practically a kid? #and then last week i saw something that was just like #and i know it was referencing the slaves of zygerria arc #and idk made me uncomf bc it was making it seem like it was anakins idea to dress ahsoka up in oretty clothing #(which honestly wasnt that provocative compared to her normal stuff? the show is very sexist with costuming for the alien women) #(like why are we blaming anakin for that) #i just hate the way it feels like every other character people will be like okay but this is the writers fault not the character but #anakin doesnt get the same grace #(but other dark siders do)

cue screaming abt legends Z-A

#I’m so happy they went for kalos instead of unova #like I love unova. I love unova. but I wasn’t sure what they’d do with it that would feel right #also I was 100% expecting johto either let’s go johto or legends celebi bc SO MUCH johto in that presents. THE UNOWN. and raikou and silver #but man kalos!!!! I rlly love the gen vi pokemon and it’ll be so cool to see what they do with a different version of the region #I’m expecting a kinda time travel element honestly? it seemed to go between futuristic + past stuff a BUNCH #with the redevelopment plan and the shiny light city #+ the two versions of the map it shows. those are Definitely 2 versions and one of them is past + more similar to the one we know #and one is updated but that could just be updating for switch #but ALSO Z-A. like okay AZ for a start is coming back but that’s very much a going backwards indication right #man my friend got to watch in real time as I went through the plot of the kalos games and remembered AZ and have everything click into place #it took me way too long to click that it was kalos in the trailer like it took me until talonflame to be like wait. and then PRISM TOWER #but god yeah I’m just like. I wanna know where they’re going with this bc I DOUBT it’s war era #it definitely COULD be but it would feel like a lot yknow for lumiose to be so similar that long ago #it’s not like 3000 years is a reasonable number in the first place anyway pokemon is weird #rlly rlly hoping there is the full region and that it’s made to feel less empty than paldea and hisui #if they’re going for an open world again which I feel like they will #I saw someone say they’re setting the whole thing in lumiose which would be a CHOICE. it’d be very different for sure #I don’t wanna say I wouldn’t like that but it would be a completely new kinda pokemon game. which would fit the legends idea. who knows #also wanna know what’s up with that logo bc I don’t recognise it. most similar is the aether foundation but that’s not close #even if it would make sense for aether to be around here (and I rlly hope they are) #okay wait so prism tower existing means it HAS to be future right bc clement designed it right? unless he redesigned it or smth #also I am excited abt megas coming back. I do like them they’re easily my favourite of the gimmicks #and I hope this means they’ll be sticking around again near future even though it’d be easy for them to drop them after this legends game #I can see them using lumiose or an otherwise limited setting as a way to stop it being a traditional game bc it’s proooobably not gonna be #like. go get gym badges yknow #yeah I’m rlly excited I can’t wait to see what they do with zygarde and where they’re going with this #pokemon #my money is still on time travel going backwards #luke.txt #plza
