#god does it feel good

[chemdisaster]

thinking about how this time last year i was trying to speedrun human connection and how good it feels this year to Not Be Doing That

#prattledisaster #really like. in my experience the faster you fall the harder you land if that makes sense #relationships that form overnight never really last #and now i've got people in my life again and it's such a relief to be taking things slow #i'm not trying to be anyone's most important person so i don't feel rsd or fomo because it doesn't hurt to realise that i'm not #i can be pals with people and talk occasionally and that's enough for me #and i can exchange ideas but ultimately create for myself and not anyone else and that's just. such a relief #it feels like all the same things are happening as last year but with new people and in different ways #and it feels good #god does it feel good

aziraphale holding the jar with the 7 year old kid's tumor in it so close to his heart and looking completely destroyed by the fact the boy did not survive... god. baby. angel.

#i love him i cant stay mad at him when he does stuff like this #makes me feel all soft inside. god. he cares so much #good omens

hannibal's whole philosophy on religion is so funny bc he's literally just like "you think im bad? god is worse"

#I have not been bothered by any considerations of deity other than to recognize how my own modest actions pale beside those of God #'killing must feel good to god too he does it all the time and are we not created in his image' #like LMAO #pluto speaks #nbc hannibal #hannibal lecter #hannibal #will graham #hannigram #plutos greatest hits

Unhinged pinterest conversation with someone who is not in the hannibal Fandom. I think I nailed my hannibal impression.

#murder husbands #Winston Graham #That's probably his full name #hannigram #hannibal lecter #nbc hannibal #Killing must feel good to god too #He does it all the time #Just last week he dropped a ceiling on a church full of his followers #I think that's the quote #i don't really know

This might just be me, but I am starting to notice a serious trend of independent animation being critisized simply for being self indulgent.

It happened with Hazbin Hotel in 2019 and it's currently happening to The Amazing Digital Circus now, which is which very sad to see. It's not enough to be pattern but it's definetly enough to be noticeable.

A lot of people who don't delve to much into creative mediums seem to forget that art: ALL ART, is a self indulgent medium. The target audience, when creating a project, is yourself. If other people like it and want to see more, than cool. But at the end of the day, you (or in this case, Gooseworx and Vivziepop) are the target auidence for their/your projects.

"All the characters in Hazbin Hotel reek of Tumblr and teenage edge" Vivzie designed all the characters when she was in Highschool and wanted to reuse them for her series. Of course they have 2010s Deviantart vibes, she grew up a 2010s deviantart kid and wanted to keep that vibe.

"Jax is total Tumblr Sexyman Bait and everything is too colorful and bouncy and annoying!" Gooseworx said themself that they like Jax's character archetype which is why they wanted to include him. Also have you SEEN Goose's other work? Bouncy and colorful are their thing.

There are plenty of things to critisize about HH (And it's spinoff HB) and TADC. Even as a fan of these works, I have my issues with them, some even as a result of this self indulgence, but disliking them so vehemently simply BECAUSE they are self indulgent really discourages people from making art, especially in fields such as animation.

TLDR: If you want to see more independent animation and art being made, you have to let people get a little self indulgent. You might not like it, but at the end of the day, it isn't made for you. And that's ok.

#I'm just sad that Digital Circus is lowkey getting the Hazbin Hotel treatment. Same with Hazbin too. #Hatred of both is...a really small minority #Thank god #Most people like these pilots for good reason #But I feel like the small yet loud minority does not understand how art works sometimes. #And coming from someone who wants to make webcomics someday. Webcomics that are extremely self indulgent. #It's sad to see. #hazbin hotel #helluva boss #the amazing digital circus #nyanbles

[oceans-swim]

my dbd hot take is like. edwin isn't repressed . like yeah he's not the greatest at romance but like?? he has Stated when he's "had enough emotions for one day" like he may not be all that expressive but he lets himself feel emotion, process it, and move on like he fully recognizes his own jealousy and does not lash out when people help him figure shit out and again, Communicates

charles on the other hand

#dead boy detectives #THIS IS FASCINATING BTW #these characters have depth. thats a good thing #i do think charles felt one hint of bisexuality and locked it away forever. by god he does not want to date anyone and he Definitely doesn' #want to kiss boys no siree nope (aroallo strikes again) #and the trauma? the anger issues? yeah that guy is not in touch with his emotions so if you're going to call anyone repressed #every time someone tries to have a conversation about his Feelings he runs away in the most charles way possible (deflect deflect deflect #oceans waves #dbd

so ive been thinking about an AU loosely based on the whole ‘sheik was a double agent also working for ganondorf’ thing in the oot manga and. basically here is a bunch of stuff so tonally different that it gives u whiplash

#tloz oot #ocarina of time #sheik #zelda #ganondorf #impa #link #undercover sheik au #double agent sheik au #impa isnt like ‘the good guy’ here she also kinda becomes a very complicated figure in sheik’s life #its not really full-on ganondad either. i do not know honestly lol #ok partly ganondad. not completely because he assassinated sheik’s actual dad #who was an evil asshole but sheik still does not know how to feel abt it lol #‘Sheik Has A Very Conflicting Seven Years Before Link Finally Wakes Up AU’ does that work #anyway. #shaking nintedno by the shoulders for the love of god can we talk about the TORTURE CHAMBERS UNDERGROUND PLEASE

yknow, i've said before i don't know what my favorite Nico scene is cause i like a lot of them, but i think the top two are probably Nico being introduced with "You can take your great army and shove it up your ass" and him killing Bryce Lawrence and the line of "That word ['please'] didn’t make sense to Nico. The Underworld had no mercy. It only had justice." because those two lines are core tenets of Nico's character to me.

He will tell his first monster to go fuck themself as a ten year old actively being kidnapped and he operates on a moral system based on the laws of the Underworld, not based on mortals. and that is so fascinating.

actually this is a lie the third top Nico scene is in BoTL, Nico's conversation with Minos where Nico goes "You're talking about murder" and says Murder Is Bad and Minos says "You'll learn differently as you get older." purely because that to BoO when he kills Bryce - character development. He's okay with murder now. Interesting that Minos was correct. Love that for him.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #i do like in re-reading the Bryce scenes in BoO that. when Nico's discussing it #he does not feel remorse about Bryce! he does not give a single shit! #the only thing he feels bad about is that Reyna and Coach had to witness it. murder? fine by him. #but gods forbid he makes his allies uncomfortable! that will haunt him to his core! #does he feel guilty? yes! for potentially upsetting Reyna. he explicitly says ''I didnt want to ruin another friendship'' #guilty about the murder part? absolutely not. good riddance. #that is such an interesting examination of his morals

thinking about that scene from seeing red and how it’s the worst thing you could do to a ship. like the literal worst thing. worse than one half of the ship dying. the one thing you can’t come back from. also arguably the worst thing you could do to a beloved character. that’s partly why decades later people are still angry about it, still feel betrayed. i think it’s a testament to how good a ship spuffy is, and how good a character spike is, that the love for them has prevailed, that it could survive this.

#i apologise for putting seeing red discourse on your dash in the year of our lord 2023 #i’m not usually one of those people who feel a strong sense of entitlement towards a story when it doesn’t go as they wish it would #but this is different #i will never forgive the writers for putting us through this #such a heinous irresponsible traumatising scene #i do a pretty good job at forgetting it but god does it cast a shadow when i’m reminded #won’t let it ruin my enjoyment of spuffy/spike though 🖕 #spuffy #spike x buffy #buffy x spike #mine

Creature. (The rendered ones are referenced from manga panels)

#mediocre art #tokyo ghoul #On some level I think I should like Kaneki more than I do but there's this weird sense of detachment #I have not only from him but being able to perceive him as a character? #I don't even dislike him it's just that I can't feel any which way about him at all. He's a catalyst for events #feels more like the conch from Lord of the Flies or something rather than a fictional person. #He doesn't suffer and learn from the consequences #he just suffers and does what got him there again. It's arguable that the lack of punishment denies him the satisfaction #but if that's the case why does he end the story with everything working out perfectly for him? #Why do his friends oblige his flaws and accept his lack of change? #Is the problem my lack of understanding or his lack of good writing? #Is he well written? #Why do I like a certain character from a different anime who's a very similar person with very similar dynamics #but with a goal and acceptance by himself and those around him that his actions really are reprehensible and cannot truly be atoned for #not only more but to the point that he's actually one of my favorites? #Am I just sitting upon a throne of entitlement #because his thought process and experiences are not catered to be applicable to and understood by myself? #GOD IF I KNOW ANYMORE #I'm not pressuring myself to like him or anything I just don't understand anything about kaneki these days and I don't know why

calling harry a “can opener” was SUCH a good play for so many reasons i think about it every day.

in the context of his work, it makes him a tool. as many people have pointed out, including martin luiga, part of the hdb tragedy is that he simply cannot leave the force, and his superiors know that and are using it to their advantage. no matter what happens, even if harry hated every nanosecond of every bit of the work and wanted to leave, he can’t and won’t leave. they can leverage anything they want against him and then reel him back in with a facade of kindness when they “allow” him to keep his job, as long as he does what they want him to. the 41st knows he has this inexplicable talent with people and they use him for it. he’s a cop: that talent can be used in so many awful ways, to push so many different agendas. and they won’t even be his own. a can opener has no particular desire to open a can, aside from maybe the satisfaction of fulfilling a purpose. a can opener has no agency, it’s just a tool for someone else to use to get what they want. and he’s learned to be okay with being used as long as it means he gets to stay. his complacency with this system makes him guilty even if he’s also being harmed by it.

but in the context of his personal life you kind of... flip it. the people around him are going to be opened up whether they want to be or not, and it’s terrible for his relationships. it’s shown that the questions, the prying- the can-opening- it’s become inextricable from who he is as a person. it’s like he doesn’t know how else to communicate, except it’s hardly communication when you’re just ripping people open. he’s invasive as all hell, although whether he means to be is debatable. he’s the kind of person that wants to take things apart to see what makes them tick. he dissects people, but really that’s too delicate of a word for what he does; if he doesn’t get what he wants right up front, he’ll abandon all subtlety and go for brute force. if he can’t get your screws loose he’ll just smash you on the ground and pick through your pieces until he’s satisfied, and if what he did to you isn’t fixable? oh well, there are other cans to open. 

and he’ll use it for personal gain: we already know he is (was?) manipulative. once he knows how you operate, he knows how to make you keep him. he can yell or he can cry; he can threaten you or he can threaten himself; he can be completely suffocating or he can withdraw completely; he can be an incorrigible liar or brutally honest; he can present himself as a threat or a joke or a talent. he’s a chimera- that’s why he’s got this inexplicable magnetism, even when people know they shouldn’t like or trust him. fidelity of character means nothing to him. he’ll be whatever he needs to be as long as it gets him what he wants. the can-opening is just his way in.

#disco elysium #harry du bois #and it works on us the audience as well! #look at how many different versions of harry there are out there. each tailored to our individual preferences #we exaggerate and minimize his traits according to what we want to see. he's can-opening us too! #it's just like. of course his job will frame the can opening as a positive thing #but it's honestly one of his worst traits. or at least it is when he doesn't keep it in check #there's nothing wrong with wanting to understand people but the way he goes about it is harmful to everyone including himself #he's doing it because he has ulterior motives like 99.999998% of the time #this is mostly about pre-martinaise harry but i have no doubts that post-martinaise harry can go right back to this btw #a lot of us prefer to think of harry as drastically improving after martinaise which is great and i'd like to hope he does but. #it's also good to consider the overwhelming possibility that he will go right back to being a total shithead #and that may be completely unintentionally! which almost makes it worse! #ALSO. this is part of why kim makes a very good foil #for the most part kim will stonewall anything he doesn't feel like sharing #harry needs to respect boundaries and by god does kim have a lot of those (affectionate) #HOWEVER kim is definitely susceptible to the can opening as well #wait okay i have another post idea. #anyway thanks for reading. as always feel free to add and share thoughts! #kiwipost #hdb meta

It is so funny to me that ever since the bad retcon movie spoiler news have been spreading, my notifications have been EXPLODING with people digging up like every single KainShin post I ever made or reblogged; to like or reblog, not to clown on.

A few years back, I had to see like 75% of shippers leave my ship in my biggest fandom because one of them got a canon love interest and that discouraged them from shipping the non canon ship. Just like that.

Meanwhile, here the author really very badly retcons the ship into being related and all reactions I have seen so far are either FUCK CANON or THIS ONLY MAKES IT HOTTER.

Genuinely can not express how much I love you guys.

Like, yeah there are certainly people who will abandon the ship, and I'm deeply sorry that Gosho made it so you can no longer enjoy this ship and I do respect the choice; bad canon writing decisions have made me turn my back on ships in the past too.

But I haven't sailed this non-canon-and-never-will-be-canon ship for 20 years to have canon get in the way now.

I just FULLY do not care about this late ass, bad retcon. Doesn't exist to me, the same way Kaito and Shinichi's heterosexuality and Shin/Ran doesn't exist to me.

Fandom exists to have fun with the characters and the world, to play around and cherry pick what you like about canon and only keep the bits that spark joy. That is how I have treated fandom for over twenty years now and that is how I will continue treating fandom.
