#but also to each other

[bostonbakeddeans]

Hey! I wasn't sure who it might be good to send this to, but I did a video essay talking about Terry Pratchett and I actually got into the discworld series in part bc you kept reblogging stuff about it haha. If you wouldn't mind, I'd really appreciate getting some more visibility to my essay. Thank you!

My post about the video: https://whydidoth.tumblr.com/post/692527594093133824/so-i-promise-i-actually-am-working-on-that

The video: https://youtu.be/fVF89_AXW78

Hooooooly shit y'all, everyone who follows me who likes insightful commentary and deconstruction of media, Discworld, excellent voice acting, or dunking on Christianity and colonialism should go watch this video immediately if not sooner. Top tier jokes, excellent review and deconstruction of Small Gods (one of my personal favorites in the Discworld series), a picture of Michaelangelo's David colored as a Feegle, background kitty noises; *chef's kiss* this video has everything. I have never been prouder to have gotten someone into Discworld, hot damn.

This reminds me very much of Shaun's videos, particularly his video on Terry Pratchett and Hijacking the Dead (Shaun is referenced in the video; the video referenced is his refutation of The Bell Curve, which is also very good). Both have a very even tone, a dry sense of humor (delightful), and a thorough understanding of the works they deconstruct - both their flaws and their strengths. (Also dunks on Audible and encourages the support of libraries, which is based as hell.)

Seriously. This is incredible. Go watch this. It's 38 minutes and worth every second. It's about deserts and Christianity and how what we believe affects reality (and how it doesn't) and satire and colonialism and orientalism and damn. DAMN. Thank you for making this, thank you for sharing it with me, just thank you.

#Discworld #terry pratchett #gnu terry pratchett #small gods #holy shit y'all seriously this is so gooooooood #i am delighted and astounded #this is so so so good #also 👀👀👀 vetvimes fic hello?????? watching this space (op's blog) for that #the video demonstrates a deep understanding of and love for the material (the good and the bad!) which bodes well for fic #vetvimes is a particular love of mine #oh man its just *fist clench* so fucking good #its abt the devotion not to each other but to the city and the ''greater good'' #but also to each other #and the respect and affection and ''dear gods i could throttle you right now'' #its so GOOD and i am *chinhands* abt a potential fic #from the creator of this brilliant video #also ur voice is very soothing i should NOT have listened at 11pm i am so so sleepy now (in the best way) #definitely going to watch again and just absorb everything #(minor pedantic note about the pedantry of ''desert''... it's typically ''precipitation'' not ''rainfall'' #which is why places like Antarctica are still a desert; it's too cold to snow - let alone to rain! but places that get more snow #than they get rain still might not qualify as deserts bc theyre getting enough precipitation to disqualify them from being a desert) #(yes i was an annoying kid in class don't @ me; op pls forgive my pedantry ur video is no less brilliant for it)

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov” #it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time

divorced couple energy ship will always be immaculate to me. we hate each other. we've seen each other naked. I know how you take your morning coffee. I will never make you your morning coffee again. get it yourself. here you go, I gave it to you anyway. you disgust me. I will always be somewhat in love with you. I will be yours forever. you're not mine anymore. you will always be mine. fuck you. let's fuck, for old time's sake. did you steal my cd? no, no. keep it.

the 'all marriage is gay as far as im concerned' except its me watching a man and woman character in a show i like and accidentally saying 'theyre so gay' because i literally forget thats not the word for romance because to me all romance is gay

#normally i find the way m/f pairings are written to be really frustrating #not because its like 'i hate straight people' or whatever i literally just want them to actually like each other and communicate #or have an interesting enough dynamic i can stay invested #also i am bisexual and m/f pairings can be nice. but liek they actually have to Be Nice and like eachother or be funny at the very least #txt #scratchpost

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

#this thread was so rancid lmfao #my favorite was 'we don't care if someone wants to relax on the couch!!! STOP NAGGING US!!!' like ???? #go take care of your kids you deadbeat???? #also SO many guys complaining that no one compliments them #ok so compliment another man..... #oh no you only want a woman to compliment you? ok. #women compliment each other that's why we get compliments lol #we do not want men to 'compliment' us hope this helps

Book 2 au with Zuko and Katara Lee and Huamei

Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

#zutara #zuko #katara #atla #my art #book 2 au #book 2 aus have been done before but i wanted to try my own take with tropes i personally enjoy akdjslkdks #also had the urge to draw zutara arguing and just not getting along in general qldjkakslsk #i recently finished natla and also just rewatched book 1 so zutara book 1 dynamic where they're quite hostile with each other is on my mind #they decide to travel together but obviously they don't get along at all at the start #they find each other annoying but that annoyance slowly turns into affection #also alsooo #short hair zuko enjoyers hello #i have switched over to the side of short hair zuko ajrskakdlksjd #also thinking about how to put short hair katara into this akdjaljdlskf #i just think short hair zutara neat :>>

I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

#animation #animated film #animated movies #across the spiderverse #across the spider-verse #spiderverse #puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots 2 #nimona #nimona film #yes i'm posting this specifically because i just watched nimona and am feeling all kinds of things but really these are all PEAK TIER #the fact they have ALL been released within 7 months of each other...like...woah we are thriving right now #stylised animation with its own unique style reflecting the movie i love you forever kissing you on the mouth #films that make me ferally rip up any and all art blocks to shreds #and that's just the animation side of things #i won't get started on the plots. they also make me want to bounce off of walls #hugging all these close to my chest #as well as all the other great animated movies that exist because animation wins all catergories for me always #(let's not forget anime movies either; y'all are beautiful too! keeping 2d animation alive and i'm so here for it)

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet

#the worst part too is this is just the logical conclusion of the hyper-individualistic society #that thrives on isolating us from each other and our communities #anyway pls get out and go volunteer to clean up litter or at the soup kitchen or something #y'all need to see that your actions can have both good and bad real world consequences #and also interact with people who share your values but come from different walks of life #and also how to organize with people you don't always 100% agree with #so yeah hang out at the farmer's market or smthn y'all really need to connect with your communities

"superman is overrated" "no batman is overrated" they both are. and with your help, we can finally kill them ! by signing up for just a small monthly donation to me, Lex Luthor,

#also superman would tell you that superman is overrated and batman would tell you that batman is overrated #so again. really a standstill. why pit these two white men against each #other ... they'd BOTH kill themselves for you if asked ...

if they dated i think it would be like this

#squishing the barbies together again... #i feel like they have nothing in common but also everything at the same time #spto #they hate each other #joining forces to be extra evil #scott pilgrim takes off #gideon graves #matthew patel #throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks #gravespatel
