Thor 1 has so much banger dialogue and visuals that are that way because of the very specific context they’re in and I love that for them despite all the tilted angle shots 💯✨👍

#the movie is actually so so good for analysis for a bunch of narrative reasons which is cool #I’m still smitten by the use of colours alone #the way so much is implied but through proper integration into the setting #it’s very evident with the relationship establishment especially and I love that #because it does so much in a small amount of time??? #a lot of the movie is slow but the meaning of what’s going on happens pretty concisely #like oh Thor is on Earth thinking he’s stuck for the foreseeable future and is becoming less arrogant and more aware of consequences #and how he is able to make mistakes #and ah maybe the way I interact with others should be more considerate to their perspective #and there is knowledge and stories that can and should be learnt and shared #etc. #the COLOURS #I love the use of cool and warm tones so so so so so so much #it’s so clever #the entire movie is colour coordinated #forget the camera angles Thor’s fall from grace STILL landed him in a golden desert albeit in the middle of the night #while Loki on Asgard had the blue tones EVERYWHERE #like BROOO #the times he had gold it was when he was in the room with Odin/Frigga and trying to ‘save’ Asgard by killing Laufey #he went to meet Thor when he was captured by SHIELD and things were WHITE #THEY WERE WHITE

One of many thins that's been bothering me about the show is the constant comparison between Rang's truamatic childhood and other characters'. It's been like that since Season 1, done by both the writers! and the fans and guess what? it is still being a thing even now in the second season!! And honestly that's so upsetting and unfair in all the ways considering the fact that the circumstances were never the same and Rang's tragic life, sufferings and his traumatic experinces were totally different from other characters'.

1- Comparing Rang's trauma to Jia's, saying Rang wasn't as strong as jia even tho they both grew up alone!

True that they both grow up lonely with no parents to take care of them but unlike Lee Rang, Jia was never an unwanted/ unloved child. She had this loving parents that she never gave up on even after 20years since they went missing and their love and memory was enough for her to be strong and keep fighting for them. She wasn't abused by people, beaten to death and abandoned to die while growing up. She was never a despised creature and never felt like she didn't matter or that she didn't belong. She sure never felt betrayed by people she loved and trusted. See? totally different from what Rang went through since before he was even born.

2. And now even comparing Rang's childhood to Yeon's too? Again true that Yeon's childhood weren't all love and rainbows and had this abusive father who would treat him sh*t for his fun but the thing is... even such an irresponsible asshole of a father who didn't care about his own kid never really wanted Yeon dead; didn't call him a monster and didn't treat him like a monster he should get rid of. And he left Yeon's care to Taluipa before disappearing so unlike Rang, Yeon was never really left alone on his own, helpless and defenseless to face the world's cruelty. He had Taluipa and also besties to count on. He was literally raised by powerful gods and as a kid he never felt what it was like to lose his home-like Rang did when villagers burned his home- to kill his friend-like when little Rang had to put blacky out of its misery and it damaged him so bad- and lose his only loved one in the world- Rang losing Yeon as a kid and later nearly dying by his sword- Yeon was not betrayed and abandoned by his loved ones and the most important he's a powerful full gumiho. Rang had a vulnurable human side so ofc he would feel things more intensely than a full gumiho. And the thing is what made Rang finally lash out and go wild on humans was not his shitty mother being cruel to him but the humans who just couldn't let him be. Long after Rang left the village with Yeon he was still this caring innocent child until humans burned his home and wanted to kill them all. So saying that Yeon didn't use his childhood as an excuse to go dark is unfair to Rang's character coz Rang wouldn't either if... only if... humans just let him live his life in peace and not try to kill him any chance they got. Just saying🤷‍♀️ and mind me remind you of the fact that 1938 Yeon isn't living the best life either. You know?

3. Rang vs imoogi.

Now their childhood have many similarities. both unwanted children, unloved by their parents, treated like monsters by people and left to die by their family.

I would've really liked it if the show had explored the tragic side of imoogi too coz what he went through was horrible and sure it would make fans interested in his story on why he turned out the way he was! but here's what differs his story from Rang's: unlike Rang, Imoogi never knew love. He grew up cold and bitter with no heart. Unlike Rang he never craved love or family. All he ever wanted was power and only power. There was no one who he really cared about. He even betrayed his only friend, the only person who cared about him coz he didn't like to see him happy-compare him to Lee Rang who sacrificed himself for his brother's happiness- Nothing could really hurt imoogi, he had no feelings, no emotion, no weakspot. He had no one to care about and didn't need them either. But Rang was different. He was shown love too. He knew love and so the loss, heartbreak and the feeling of betrayal too. He had a heart. A very soft one. We saw adult Rang couldn't even kick his hungry ghost mother away coz seeing her hurt him, coz probably he still cared. He was a very emotional boy with a lot of wounds but still had his heart no matter what and he gave love so much more than what he got. That's why he'd never end up being an evil like Imoogi. Not bc he had people to save him from his inner monsters. No. Imoogi had one too and he betrayed him. It's bc Rang cared. He always cared. he loved his people and they loved him back. He'd earned their love with his good heart and unlike imoogi he'd rather die than losing them and that's what makes his story different. Bc he loved even so much more than he was loved and that's his strength. If anything he's been so strong, struggling for hundreds of years alone and surviving the unkind world that had nothing for him but endless pain, loneliness and nothingness. All of it while he was just a broken lonely boy ignored by his loved ones and hated by the world who he really never felt like belong to and yet he still kept his heart and love and at the end he was the one who suffered to give everyone a happy ending at the expense of his own life and happiness! Lee Rang, The one who suffered the most... and deserved happiness more than anyone but never got it! Words can not explain how unjust, unfair and cruel that ending was! He deserved so much better.

#I don't think I'm finished yet #like this is so unfair #baby fox just went through so much #and suffered his whole life #he deserved so much better #and deserved his happy ending with his family #lets protect baby fox at all costs #lee rang deserved better #baby fox #lee rang #Yi Rang #gumiho #the tale of a gumiho #tale of the nine tailed 1938 #tale of the nine tailed #totnt 1938 #totnt #lee yeon #imoogi #nam ji ah #tvn #kdrama

[ozziesdisco]

honestly the scene where Ji Ah finds out that Yeon killed her in her past life and her subsequent reactions to it provides so much of an insight into her character and her abandonment issues and her absolute devastation when the first person she opened up to after so long turned out to have been hiding things from her (esp something as big as that)

Like woman lost her parents at the age of nine, nobody believed her when she said that something supernatural sent them away, she was sent to a mental hospital, which she escaped, and then she presumably lived mostly alone with little to no friends and put all her energy in her job and finding her parents again so she wouldn't be alone anymore

and then Yeon turns up and saves her and protects her and cares about her and believes her for the first time- she can't help but open up to him because of all of this because she isn't used to this- she starts out not trusting him, but as time goes along, she slowly starts to get attached

for the first time, she doesn't have to deal with the world on her own- for the first time, she has someone who doesn't invalidate her feelings and is willing to bear the burden of the weight of the world together- someone who has proved multiple times that he will always be there for her, and that she can trust him-

how can she not get attached?

and when she finds out he killed her in her past life... and when he tells her it was all an act-

that's what's happened to her all her life, hasn't it? anyone she cares about just leaves, and she grew to prefer being alone because that's only way you won't get hurt. and her view just gets proved when she sees what Yeon has done to her. Yeon, the man who she gave up so much for, and who gave up so much for her, and it was all an act

of course it was all an act. of course she believed the lie the second she heard it because all her life, she was left alone by everyone. why would it be any different this time?

#tale of the nine tailed #nam ji ah #she's just so dhbhjdfbhjwgf #see tbh it was obvious Yeon was lying when he went all 'boohoo i only used you to defeat imoogi im a villain thats what i am' #like if you think back on all that the man did for her #no rational person would do THIS MUCH for someone they claim is a pawn for something #and honestly ji ah is a pretty rational and level headed person in general and if it hadnt hit this particular trigger #she would've seen through his bs immediately #and that's true to what happens in the show bc i think this was one of the only times we saw her emotions get ahead of her #and that's because of her abandonment issues and her making herself vulnerable for the first time #she's such an interesting character and its so much fun to see all the layers on rewatches #yeonjiah #lee yeon x nam ji ah

I have to start my job tomorrow and I'm TERRIFIED

I have never had a stable job before (it's in customer service) and idk shit about what I'm actually going to do... I mean I can imagine it and I will be explained things but I'm afraid of everything basically :') also like. I'm not out as transgender there, they interviewed me and hired me as a woman and I've never corrected them for safety but like... I plan on starting HRT in the next months and if it goes well (and I hope it does) I will still be working there and idk how that could go... I'm happy because I'm going to have money of my own, and even if my parents will give me shit for my transition (likely) I could pay rent and such, but everything else feels like such a shot in the dark ;-;

#i wish my former best friend was still talking to me. they could help me ease some of this worries as they went through them more or less #that's actually the part that is psychologically tolling on me the most. that and the gender thing #i miss them so much. my life is changing a lot these months and they aren't here for me and it's my fault #ah. i said those things other times. ill stop now #personal

last line tag

ok confession i suck at this game. i always want there to be context and i always post way more than i should. anyway i was tagged by my love @oh-no-another-idea and i will be posting a few more than just the last line bc it's my blog and i make the rules. meja is being sheltered after fleeing reijmor and stian catches up with her in kinesehas, a settlement of hass refugees.

“Do you know where she went?” Every syllable is clipped and furious, the kind that usually were punctuated with projectiles.

“I don’t care to tell you.”

“Why the hell—“

“Because I suspect your intentions towards her are malicious.”

Several men speak angrily at once and Meja adjusts her hold on Reijka, covering her ears better.

The other voices quiet and Stian's bites out, “She is my wife.”

“All the more reason to doubt your honor. I saw the baby in her arms. She loved an outsider more than you and now you want to take her to Bjerkja, where she'd be killed and you would be allowed to destroy her child.”

“She stole my daughter.”

Joni laughs. “Her daughter, too. Get out. This isn't the homeland, and you have no right to that woman anymore, nor her children. We will certainly not help you hunt them. Go to the harbor if you wish, ask the dock workers who has seen her. You'll have better luck asking the fish in the market when the tides will come in.”

#yeah this is way more than the last line but like. the context!! #joni saw meja arrive covered in blood and holding a newborn baby and immediately went ah. when he comes for you i can't promise i won't kil #meja hiding in a closet with her children listening to stian rage through the inn looking for her: this is fine. he'll leave soon right? #joni outside looking at stian: are you prepared for the kind of death you've earned little man??? #writeblr community #writeblr #tag game #original fiction #rb original #salt and brine #meja #stian #i've been doing so much work on the ending of this story. which is funny because the meat should be kamon and meja falling in love #y'know. at the beginning. which i have not finished. :)))))

vettonso duh (mwah)

C!!!! You know me so wel!! 🤭🤭😘

It's so funny to call them a comfort ship when they're also pretty toxic(positive) 😭 it's just such a fun ship bcs like on one hand, going through the trenches of 2010-2013, but then also like, the softness of the 2020s thus far 🥺🥺

Also I don't know why I keep doing these right before I need to go to class LMAO

#like i wouldnt say i think them in canon are obsessed with each other #I think its more that they realize theyre the only ones that can understand what the other went through and they take comfort in it #i just like it bcs its such a long lasting ship. like no way could they fix it until they get to the point theyre at now #which makes it so fun!!! cause they keep ping ponging off each other and mirroring each other until they finally come together #coming to the conclusion that you want the thing thats been with you the whole time yknow?????? 🥺🥺🥺 #like yeah theyve always been circling around each other but it was such a toxic enviroment #but then finally when the dust settles theyre like 'ah youre not who i was villiainizing you as in my head' #i think also domesticity would be good for them but thats so like: end of the story #bcs you cannot erase their storyline from them. thats what makes them them!!!!!!! #like yeah i just mean yes them in domesticity is cute but as an AU hmm no. more like a natural conclusion #also nothing can fix them bcs their toxicity suits each other 🤭🤭 and i wouldnt have it any other way #why would i want to fix them!!! their horrible traits are why i love them!!!!! #anyways idk why im writing this much when they just make me: *animal screeching noises* *clawing the walls of my enclosure* *crying* #c understands what i mean :) #catie.asks.

[mountmortar]

literally i love red in gsc soooo much he is just the former kid champion who went missing for literal YEARS because he went to live on top of a mountain without telling anyone and he is still wearing the same weirdly-high-collared vest + black shirt + pants tucked into shoes combo that he was when he went to live up there because he either does hella laundry or no laundry and he’s literally just chilling and training and then some fucking kid appears and because he has absolutely no social skills anymore because he denounced society like some sort of preteen pokémon monk his first thought is NOT saying hello or anything like that. it’s Throw My Pokémon At Them! he’s not even wearing a COAT and he’s on top of a fucking MOUNTAIN and it’s not like he fucking keeps charizard out of its ball. how is he not dead. absolutely feral mountain boy. he’s my baby

#though i AM skimming through rb's dialogue again and. i gotta hand it to his initial gen 7 design #with all the sassy facial expressions #it DID nail him to a T #red is canonically really expressive! and also fairly quiet! just according to the dialogue it seems that he CAN speak he just. doesn't! #unless it's necessary (like when he's looking for a particular key and questions a guy about it) #but on the ss anne the waiter guy introduced himself and then red presumably said Absolutely Nothing in return and so the waiter went #'ah! le strong silent type!' which is kind of funny to me #once again. all the little bits of characterization in gen 1/2 is so much fun to look through. i love it. i LOVE it #trainer red #johto

I uh.

Rummaged through a solid 5 years of my own writing just now

And the contrast is a little...um... well, see for yourself:

2020, probably:

"Ocean ate me

I rock in thickest ink, forth and back, where no soul can find and

reach me anymore [...]

I sit in ink, forever buried and it's fine.

- selah, my girl -

You've been so strong. Too strong. Hold out, my girl, for there is light at the end of the tunnel."

2022:

"Hey baby :) ❤❤❤❤ welcome back :) you are LOVED here. You are WANTED here. I missed you, little one. Your body likes you, your soul does too :) hello little mouse, finally you're back :) it's okay to be a little shy, you've lost a lot. It's ok, you can take your time and take your place whenever you're ready. Here, have your favorite flower."

Times got better. T_T I repeat, TIMES GOT BETTER

Not to get emotional on main but watching this is reminding me of watching Uno the movie when it came out and starting to really get involved in the fandom and now it’s been 6 years and I have so many friends and we’re all drawing cards for people and actually interacting with the cast and it’s like

Love your art (always)!!! Do you have a backstory/bio for the dark haired anemo catalyst user in your new post? They look so cute/cool! :00

Hello, anon! Thank u for asking!

I think I've posted briefly before about Jun here, but it was part of an ask game and I didn't give his entire backstory (or what I've come up with, anyway, ehe)

He is Jun Ogura, from Inazuma, and has been living in Liyue for quite some time as of late. He is strange man, of a friendly enough attitude, but a cold and ruthless nature.

Was at one point a relatively sweet young man and oldest son in a merchant family. He gained his vision when trying to save the person he loved most from falling to the abyss, but he did not know how to use it and so failed to recover them. He has a grudge against the archons over this and is out for revenge... and the desperate want to become powerful enough to find and rescue his darling.

His despair and pain over his own failure to save them and his desire for vengeance seem to have afflicted him with some sort of immortality - he himself does not know if this is a blessing or a curse: he now has plenty of time to become strong, hunt down and challenge the archons but he is also very certain that as the years have passed, so too has the lover he was so determined to find and rescue.

(Not that he would know it, but that very same love he is missing so much is afflicted with their own curse and mysteriously long life - but that's @reddish-yellowish 's tale to tell as that is HER oc ehehe.)

Kinda got kicked out of Inazuma for some (he'll call it petty) disagreements (read: murder attempts) with the archon there, but this will only be important much later.

He speaks politely, quietly and with a low voice, and just LOVES to talk during combat. A cruel catalyst user who carries a few knives on his person and prefers to get close to his opponent and chat while he cuts them up. Has a tendency to suddenly become aggressive but back off if bored or his attention is caught by something, but is by no means lazy or foolish enough to lose track of his opponent. Good in one on one fights but starts to lose advantage in big groups.

A wanderer who has decided to stay in Liyue for some time and has recently become intrigued by the strange Traveler and their mysterious little floating companion. Makes them both very uncomfortable. Also makes that odd redheaded fatui boy who calls himself a harbinger uncomfortable, and finds it vastly amusing. Will later decide to accompany the Traveler to Inazuma because he has decided he likes them and they make for good fun and less boredom, but also to stir up some trouble because that's just what he likes to do :)

Oh, don't worry, spending time around the Traveler will be good for him. He'll start to change for the better. Become a little more domesticated.

It's not the most detailed or nice backstory, but it's what I've got for him right now. ♡
