[airenyah]

should i just. study theater- film- und medienwissenschaft

#it will keep me stuck here even longer but #i am so tempted #i don't even have to graduate from that like. what if i just signed up and took the courses i'm interested in #go sit in the lectures without taking the exams in the end #it's not like i need the title anyway i already have one BA #who cares if i finish a 2nd one or not #it would be purely for personal interest #airenyah plappert #yeah it's one of those nights where i'm having a crisis about my future career #i need to go work in theater and/or film so fucking bad #that's the only thing so far that has felt SO RIGHT #like dgmw i have fun working with adobe programs and i have a huge passion for language and culture #but neither graphic design as a job #not what we've been doing in my translation classes #has really called out to me as a career #on the contrary. it all makes me wanna scream "I DON'T FUCKING WANNA BE DOING THIS AS A JOB THIS IS A HOBBY TO ME'' #but when i'm at rehearsals? even when i'm super overwhelmed bc i'm doing the shitty assistant director's job as a fucking hospitantin #it just doesn't feel like work to me at all like. i constantly have to remind myself that i have to say things like ''i'm at work'' #or ''i can't i have to work'' bc i keep forgetting that it is in fact work #i have so much fun making sure everything is in order and i love taking care of my actors #and i'm GOOD at it. it's easy for me #god can june just fucking come around i just wanna start rehearsals already #screaming into the void

As a writer, I love going back through the comments I've gotten on AO3. I promise that the minute you take of your time has been appreciated for hours/months/years

#I still get comments on a fic I wrote about??? 5 years ago?? and it means so much to me #It's also genuinely such a nice boost of confidence #It's really easy as humans to dismiss anything old of yours as bad #But it makes me happy knowing I've improved #Your comment saying I'm a good writer based on that? Oh BAYBEE it's been constant practice since then

part 2!!!! [read part one here]

transcript below the cut arranged into stanzas to help show where the rhymes are:

“that’s why they brought gem in? as a failsafe?” as a pawn. we were told to point her at whoever we need gone

“gem won’t hurt her allies. …yet.” the curse she carries will it’s had its eye on her since she lost the other eye she was specially selected for her hunting skill it’s quite the high honor. “wow. how generous.” we try

think about it: why does almost no one fight the curse? “given how fast scott killed skizz last season, i can guess.” [“any pain you spare your friends, you’ll have to suffer worse”?] it’s designed to shut down higher reasoning with stress

#if you still can't see the rhyme scheme try reading it out loud #if that doesn't work uh. idk. can't help you #my art #grian #geminitay #smajor1995 #bdoubleo100 #inthelittlewood #secret life #grian and his terrible horrible no good very bad eldritch coworkers: the sequel #cant wait to post the next part so i can be like 'my three secret life comics. and yes they all rhyme' #this one narratively doesn't work nearly as well as a standalone compared to part 1 #however i accidentally went way too hard and could probably upload the middle page + second to last panel as their own separate art pieces #tbh i'm considering putting an explanation of everything below the readmore buuut i don't feel like it atm. :3 later maybe #me and my 20+ life series headcanons i only allude to without explicitly stating don't need to explain ourselves #still experimenting with this webtoon-esque vertical comic style #still not sure i like it #it gets long too quickly #among other things #but it's very easy to read on a phone so

Go you funky little SecUnit! Go!

(One of my favorite scenes from the newest Murderbot novel: System Collapse)

#love when secunit gets a little bit feral #system collapse #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #system collapse spoilers #I'm not good at drawing armor pls go easy on me #I just laughed so hard at this scene it's so fucking funny to me #imagine being the B-E secunit already having a terrible day #your clients are scheming and trying to murder each other #and then here comes the weirdest secunit you've ever seen and you need to neutralize it #you very cleverly disable its projectile weapon with a well-aimed shot oh you're so clever #and just like that it's flinging itself at your head like a fucking feral cat at the vet's office #grace makes art

Had a bit of a crisis over trying to draw Boba, so I did the adult thing and did some face studies. Learned a lot, hopefully some of it sticks

#mainly I learned that contrast-y shadows freak me out; I muddy up my colours super fast and easy #and that I REALLY need to learn some colour theory for good this time #also sketching needs to happen more. MUCH more - that was supposed to be the point of this exercise -.- #temuera morrison #boba fett #commander cody #captain rex #I really liked the lighting on that Cody pic but if I were to draw him before Rex I'd never live it down okay?? #face study #star wars fanart #my art #the clone wars #tcw fanart #I'm still not any better at drawing Boba with hair and keeping him looking like himself... which I should have seen coming but... #gotta double down on work now I ran out of my warm up paintings #clone portraits #Tem clones

Disney: Yeah, sorryy, we don't know how to make villains without queercoding them and people didn't like the twist-villains, so we stopped making them alltogether :( I hope you like 3593 intergenerational family-traumas!

Dreamworks, while creating not one, not two, but three amazing villains: Pathetic

#puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #dreamworks #animation #shrek #disney #honestly #everyone talks already about wolf and yeah hes amazing #but Goldie Locks and her family were so cute and adorable #the whole theme with just right? #it killed me #and Big Jack Horner was just a dick #and he doesnt only know this he owns it #'it's adorable how you think that would work Don't you know I'm dead inside?' #perfect delivery #we need more old school villains #(and yeah i like family stories and encantos story about family trauma was good #but like... Strange World would have been so much better if it had a villain #none of that misunderstanding-bullshit #it would have been so easy too the president was right there #but alas)

I've been making the transition these past few months, but I think I'm gonna just move back to Tumblr. My Twitter's follower-base has reached a point where I can't tweet anything casually opinion-related without it overflowing like a toilet. I post a short thread on my gripes with color design in anime and I'm getting QRT'd with "kill this guy with hammers" reaction gifs. Like, damn, this isn't fun anymore. It's not fun to talk about stuff on Twitter in general anymore. I wanted to post some ship dynamic doodles sometime there, but I know I'm gonna get weirdly aggressive takes and reactions. Monkey's paw curls, but I don't particularly like having that many followers.

#personal #delete later #like i'm generally good at not letting internet stuff get to me #it's dumb and inconsequential and i'm confident in who i am as a colorist #i faced some racist racist racist ass shit last month when some alt right weebs found an old post critting whitewashing #like i've gotten dms from people harrassing me about being taiwanese #but tumblr is so lowkey while twitter will blast qrts in your face going “this guy hates you for your basic ass anime opinion” #and i'm like hm. :/ #idk thanks for being chill in general guys. except with the miyazaki post that was a toilet overflow #best thing about tumblr is how easy it is to ignore weirdos or weirdly aggressive people #i'm still gonna post art there but really just art. it's more destructive than constructive to use twitter as a discussion space now

can you really talk about tim's tendency to idolize and place dick on a pedestal and his semi-entitlement to understanding dick without also talking about dick's tendency to project his own feelings and insecurities onto tim and also his semi-entitlement to his right to try and micromanage how tim should feel and react about things. i, personally, cannot.

#dick and tim #anyways trust me when i say that none of this is meant in a negative way because this is what i Like about them lmao #forever thinking of the M/F fight where dick expects that tim will go alone with his line of thinking just because he says so #and is shocked when tim doesn't and instead has his own thoughts and feelings abt the matter #and babs has to tell him that tim isn't him & had a fundamentally different experience to him #it's like hmmm very realistic to me #the way they do this to each other in a way that almost is depersonalizing but like isn't actually #it's more just that they understand each other so well most of the time that it's easy to forget that they're their own person #with their own thoughts and feelings #like hm. there is something very realistically siblings about it in that #older siblings do tend to try and dominate the relationship with their thoughts and feelings because #their first memories are of being expected to lead their sibling and the sibling usually comes at a time when the older sib is v possessive #so the older sibling conceives the younger sibling as belonging to them and being kind of a hm extension of them vs their own person #meanwhile the younger sibling has no knowledge of a life where the older sibling doesn't exist #and the younger sibling's experience is that of observation of the older sibling from basically the very first day of life #so the younger sibling will often see and perceive the older sibling in very interesting ways #they're always learning something with thay observation good or bad #and thus probably develop more instrinsic understanding than even the parents do #and conflict comes because each is their own person but it's hard to see them that way sometimes #anyways there's also another thread where for dick it's hard to conceptualize tim's family of origin as real compared to them #but that's like mainly headcanon just know i'm right and it's interesting

*RTD writing a grand finale where old companions come back and he teases a David Tennant regeneration but then he just splits in half and one of him gets to live his well deserved happily ever after*

#I get people saying it's “easy” but personally I love it. He needs therapy OK. #15 will still have shit to deal with. He's the doctor. That's who they are. But taking a moment™ after all millenia sounds like a good idea #Also I just had so much fun watching that ep. Their dynamic together?????? Loved it #Let me live happily with this fix it fic made Canon in some form #Nevertheless it is very funny that RTD just said yeah this is my lil guy and I'm not getting rid of him. Twice. #doctor who #The giggle #David Tennant #doctor who 60th anniversary #russel t davies

hey i feel like we're really sleeping on that time Danny possessed Vlad & framed him for assaulting a minor

Editing with the clip because people don't believe me. Episode is 41: Eye for an Eye.

#Danny Phantom #i think this ties into my other post i made a long time ago about Danny siccing the GIW on Vlad #like we KNOW in CANON that if Danny was even a tiny bit more like Vlad he would literally become a supervillain #villain is such a stupid word i hate how it's spelled. why is it like that #anyways i need to like. rewatch DP cuz i remember shit & then i'm like #did that actually happen. because that sounds too insane #but like. he Did That. didnt he #i think that's what i love about this character. but a lot of people ignore it #Danny is like. gritting his teeth going ''do good do good'' it isnt effortless it isnt easy he doesnt even want to do it half the time #& sometimes yeah he WILL do crimes or get back at people who've been assholes to him or whatever #he WILL use his powers for bad sometimes #he'll be like ''dont do that it's bad'' but like. he WILL do it himself #the whole ''i'm a hero'' thing he's got going on is like. more of a. how do i put this #it's like when you're drawing or writing & saying ''it doesnt have to be perfect it just has to BE'' #like Danny isn't a hero sometimes. he's got morals & has a general understanding of good & bad #but also he's 14 & being attacked every day #i would start saying bad words & threatening people that annoy me too man #okay i glanced over the scene again for the first time in years & Danny was literally in the middle of outing Vlad to the whole town??? #hello?? are we really ignoring this????? #VLAD TORNADO VLAD TORNADO VLAD TORNADO #this show is so stupid i love it #love how Sam & Tucker immediately backed him up yeah fuck Vlad all my homies hate Vlad #okay you know what. maybe i will do a DP liveblog. i think it would be fun #on daddyplasmius. only posting this on pa-pa-plasma cuz it's kind of just a. weird rant post? kind of? idk

astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #astarion #*kisses his forehead* my awful little bastard man... i love you and your big sad watery eyes. #IT'S SO FUCKING QUIET THOUGH IF YOU YOURSELF ARE PLAYING HIM GOOD LORD #I'M SO USE TO HIM COMPLAINING TO MY TAV!!!! #OR BANTERING WITH HIM OR KARLACH OR WYLL!!! #I MISS HIS THEATRICS!!!!!!! #not that it's ENTIRELY quiet. until i found karlach i was travelling with shadowheart lae'zel and gale. #and let me tell you. gale and lae'zel do NOT shut the fuck up if they are together. #they were literally having an entire tinder date while we were trecking through the woods to go get karlach. #i NEVER knew they talk so much because while i've travelled with them individually in past saves... #...i've NEVER had them in my party at the same time! #gale is actually pretty nice to lae'zel! he asks a lot of questions but doesn't condescend her as he does others sometimes. #that's probably because he's afraid of her though. I would be too were I nothing more than a wizard with 8 strength. #I do like how you can look at pretty much any two companions and get a well written and generally enjoyable dynamic! #It feels like they considered that a lot of people would want to maybe pair off the companions they didn't romance with each other! #and wanted it to be easy for really any pairing to work... if a person just paid attention to their shared interactions.

There's something about reading really great writing that's so relaxing. You can just sit back and let the words wash over you, knowing that you can trust the writer.

#random thought of the day #books #part of the reason i'm not getting writing done today was because i spent most of my free time reading from books i've let sit for too long #i haven't been able to sink into good fiction for a while #so elizabeth goudge felt like a spiritual experience #cleansing and uplifting #it always takes me a while to get into her books #there's a learning curve of a couple of chapters to adjust to the style #but once i break through it's bliss #it becomes easy as breathing #there's nothing quite like what she does #i love books that understand that goodness isn't boring or trite #you don't need to have 'darkness' and 'grit' to be complex #like one bit that took my breath away was the talk about sallie and david's marriage struggles #they're both good people who love each other #but they also have their differences because they're human and that causes struggles #not marriage-breaking struggles just nuanced life struggles #and i'm not sure i've seen something like that in a book before #it's a good marriage they married the right people but that doesn't mean life is perfect #goudge uderstands that marriage isn't happily ever after--heaven is #and a good marriage is two people partnering up to help each other reach that goal #it's so much more adult than any 'complex adult' work i've seen
