#he was truly iconic here

[norringtondeservestheworld]

Karl Grove is a gay icon.

#the fact that he is played by the same actor who played norrington in pirates of the caribbean #jack davenport could play every possible character #he was truly iconic here #jack davenport #karl grove #why women kill #gay #LGBT #queer

redesigned creek cuz im sick of feeling rage every time i see him

#a lot offff this is based off rps with him :3 so if ur like why. that's why #im sick of rping him and seeing his ugly canon icon and having a physical visceral reaction #i want to see him in the new movies style SO BAD!!!! RAGRHH #also i went thru a lot of effort to make his trousers NOT neon yellow only for the filters i applied to turn them neon again #creek #trolls #redesign #art #fanart #my recent art has been so sketchy and non refined but i truly just cant b bothered atm #now realising ive hardly posted it here HOLD ONNN I will b posting all my recent art eventually #he clacks when he walks cuz i think its a very relaxing sound. namaste or whatever

#will still post when i get back to skyblock but i've been on break for like a week now and Do Not wanna go back yet #and on the mcyt side... ew #keep getting gut-wrenching feelings every time i look at my notes and have to see your guys' icons #i take back what i said initially seeing wilbur makes me ill i want nothing to do with him #reblogs old posts etc NOTHING. im not mass deleting bc again archive or whatever but he will NOT be back here as of now #so like. yall with the c!wilbur icons. cut that shit out. please consider how it makes other people feel lmao #none of that separating the character and creator shit I Dont Want To See Him. ANY of him. i dont care if ''it's not him'' #goes for other nasty ppl but sbi-adjacent ppl are more likely to be the ones interacting with me. so more relevant #you're free to do whatever YOU want im not saying you HAVE to change your icon. but you'll probably get blocked at least by me lol #idk how everyone else is taking it bc i follow like 2 mcyt accounts nowadays but that's how i feel. i dont want him here anymore #it's like this stuff keeps following me around it feels impossible to avoid while i run this account #ugh #maybe one day this account will finally get set to private and TRULY be Just An Archive

o i wanted to make a post that im honestly not smart enough to actually sit down and think out but i like the way meryls trauma doesnt completely woobify her character but does still affect her, it just feels nice to see a female charcater not be completely reduced to a wet soggy mess bc of trauma but also not to (very unrealistically) just Get Over It i think trigun has a nice balance and its refreshing

#also not saying its a secret feminist masterpiece or anything (coz ive seen ppl say that and. come on) but i still think it does well- #enough to be given an appreciative nod #i mean its clear nightow didnt know what to do w milly n meryl after a certain point bc there was just. So much goin on w vash and knives #so he just has the girls do some nomad stuff offscreen until he was ready to bring them back in and yknow what i dont hate that #i think its important to note the women in trigun are fucking amazing tho like. rem meryl luida elendira even lina #and yeah millys underdeveloped but still shes so good #so im not gnna sit here and criticise nightow for being just as misogynistic as some other male mangaka bc i think he does very well #and thats not even to say the bar is on the floor like i truly believe that. i love meryl for a reason #but. ppl can we maybe stop w the 'trigun is so feminist' praise bc lets be real nightow probably just has a thing for strong women #98 anime is a little different tho i was pullin some faces while rewatching some clips. #im obvs talking abt the manga #and stampede is still not done so i wont comment too much on that besides the fact i like where its going (girlwise) #i dont usually like viewing manga thru this lense bc its not the same culture and feminism looks different in japan than it does over here #but i saw a chart. it made me twist up my face and go hrrrrnnnmmmmmnnnnmmnnm..... nnhhnnhhjnnn... mmmmmmmm #jesus i didnt mean to go off in these tags i just wanted to make another 'meryl good' post for the pile #ig im still thinkin abt that chart idk i guess it stuck w me (regretfully) #anyway point is i love meryl for a reason trigun women are great thanks nightow but im not gnna praise him for bein a feminist icon

[kagoutiss]

I know it’s your stylistic choice to give OOT Ganondorf actual… pants *hurls*, but can we pls get him with his canon leotard over tights outfit because it’s THAT fitting

i will if/when i feel like it anon, but ive gotta hand it to u it takes an admirable amount of confidence to walk into an artist’s inbox and then barf in asterisks over how they draw something and then ask them to draw you something lol

#ask #also i. literally have drawn it before agsjfgsjAHAJD #not like a fully rendered version or anything but in doodles #and then i actually based my designs for him off of his in game models for the most part #which have some differences from the concept art #and at one point i. actually was going to try to interpret it as some kind of leather chaps situation…..i kinda wanna revisit that tbh lol #also did you know the canon leotard in the concept art isnt actually technically a full leotard. #there’s no ass on it in the concept art #in the full turnarounds #so really if we’re being completely respectful to the concept art and treating that as canon #then we should all be drawing oot ganondorf with basically a one piece with no ass that is kind of just cupping his genitals #which is exactly the outfit he has in SSBU now incidentally #which is also an iconic design #in a lot of other interpretations they add the ass back on to the leotard #basically i’m trying to say the real conflict here is. leotard with ass or leotard with no ass #who among us can know which of those is truly canonical

[gods-favorite-autistic]

Glass Onion really was just me yelling about how stupid Miles is the entire time and then feeling the satisfaction when the other characters realized it too

#I was on the miles hate train from the moment I saw him but also when he said the mona lisa’s smile appears and disappears I was so pissed #like yes the meaning of the mona lisa’s smile changes every time you look at it I can get behind that #but the smile itself does not disappear!!!!! the restoration of her smile was like a whole thing!!!! what the fuck are you talking about!!!’ #‘that is the Aegean sea’ one of my favorite lines ngl #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #technically I guess? #ok spoilers starting here #also I can’t have been the only one who realized that the handwriting on the envelope that said ‘love andi’ #was the same as the handwriting on the invitation that said ‘love miles’ #bro couldn’t even get original with that #love the fact that blanc didn’t even get the chance to solve the puzzles so he just trashed them to miles’ face just cause he could #an icon honestly #also I truly don’t think that’s how allergic reactions work like he would not have just died that quickly but I guess it must have been bad #also also for the record I called the allergic reaction thing from the second he dropped cause why else would they mention that #to be fair I fully thought that the fruit in his drink was a straight up pineapple so I am kinda dumb but it did remind me of the allergy so #helen brand you will always be famous #anyways i’ll shut up now #autism (mads) speaks

[jensen-frackles]

i think at this point i love supernatural more so for the community here on tumblr then for the actual show. oh and for destiel and cockles and also for the fact that jensen went and basically made a canon fix it fic for the show too

#love coming on here and reading whats going on and seeing everyones reactions #its quite fun #and i love cockles #and jensen being so bitter about the shows ending that he had to go make his own to fix it #iconic #truly fucking iconic #supernatural #spn #cockles #destiel #jensen ackles #jackles #the winchesters

[unproduciblesmackdown]

already was musing on how like, here's an intro that's Establishing Things, and it's like, does it matter that we were given a quants interaction of winston being like "hey you were nice to me there, actually. it reminds me of how" only for rian to pull the nice maneuvers of not wanting to listen to him share anything, being willing to just issue an order to someone about what he gets to do (talk for ten seconds) and doing so, then some underwhelming flair used to insult him surely, i guess that he's so stupid(tm) or whatever. like, wondering does that mean anything really that that was just about rian being an asshole, as has been sprinkled in before, just little moments that deadend with winston just feeling Disheartened b/c rian was shitty for no reason. does it mean anything that she did anything for the quant duo before that in refusing a chance to not sit next to him. theoretically just a [we're still tmc] kind of choice to stick together, and sure didn't move her to even treat him like a person she dislikes, just a nonperson she also dislikes

and relatedly it's going to be just as hilarious as rian, what, implying winston hasn't heard / of the french language, that the theory that rian and dollar bill become some kind of duo based on being Hilarious(tm) but also just terrible to any & everyone and bullying people has only more plausible, And that this episode of billions' introduction / establishment of dollar bill is decidedly centered around "yeah nobody likes this guy or can stand to deal with him. not even the people paid to be there, not even the self-declared Too Nice guy who kept choosing hanging out with dollar bill & his bullying over working & hanging out with his friend taylor" so it sure doesn't seem like that's leaving much room for [oh that was an oversight] if dollar bills going to fuck off into mpc hq on the regular and rian's immediately going to be like of course i can roll with this fuckin asshole

and truly a distillation of "rian's supposedly gets the 'good' treatment of More Material & being taken more seriously by other characters, but this only meant that instead of any sense of character &/or her own actual subplots ever, she's whatever a different more prominent character needs for their plot at any given time; winston's peripheral funny little guy unimportance & insulting treatment is still so much better re: being a character" if winston gets the worst treatment of being shoved out of mpc by episode three and rian is graced with hanging around most or all season only to be judged & condemned to now have that loss of [quant duo] replaced with being insufferable bullying horrible person dollar bill's New Friend and like, right away, with ease. and like i was saying like i would not argue with that, if rian had the consistent principle of treating anyone with basic respect she wouldn't be treating winston as a nonperson, and of course she has a broader capacity for being an asshole to anyone at any point that's just drier and less [outbursts of physical aggression] than dollar bill's style.

no idea what rian's overall arcs could be when yknow, why is she here, why has she stayed here, her most relevance right now gets to be "has the dialogue capacity to talk about getting prince with a sex scandal. also has zero thoughts on how power factors into one rather than that you just need to be polite about it?" which only feels truly character specific when held up against "rian was supposedly bullied but also Above even hating the people who did it. but she is also a bully and not even especially emotionally detached about it, even though how she treats winston is more important than how she feels about it" like basically "also a bully" is her most coherent deal. and it's just Interesting that simply being mean to winston is again basically pointed out, and her future bestie or [put in the same shots duo status] dollar bill is Impending but the episode was like "yeah of course everyone hates this guy, for being awful" and the joke nonjoke the whole time that unfortunately rian might get along just fine with bill as workplace (and probably also life in general, it's not a honed strategy they limit to the office) bullies

so that That's what rian gets for getting to stick around, while winston Might get to be shoved out of the fund hq with any character flair from him and, i do unfortunately have to wonder harder now, maybe any relevance afforded to the way people have treated him, indeed maybe rian especially, his personal bully and abusive friend. and because other people also see rian as better than him & maybe also winston as [not a person], if winston does anything that's indeed deliberately petty, mean, Angry, etc, towards rian, That will be seen as unacceptable vs the yknow checks notes years of cruel interpersonal treatment from rian to winston, but nothing hangs in the balance on that front, people won't suddenly be like "nice. winston's a person to me now, which, why am i even in a position to Decide that" if he's shoved out & goes quietly & politely and creates no problems in return. and, very much like dollar bill, i don't think rian will change, but for winston's own sake it would be Heartening if he voices his experience such that we know he knows it was bullshit, even though of course rian, and probably anyone else, isn't going to choose to listen past 5 seconds, least of all when he's clearly indicating a general state of irritation. rooting for flair and idiosyncrasy for him and indeed that the best sources for that could be with taylor, please, the person he's always been here for, rian, the person for years now bullying him more than she does anyone else or more than anyone else does to winston, and even fun if there's anything with tuk his apparent genuine friend tuk, and by "fun" i mean "such a delight i daren't really think much abt it From Canon"

anyways the tl;dr i suppose is that winston getting apparently thrown away in the first third of the season is insulting treatment but rian getting to stay and be dollar bill's wretched bestie is truly the worse fate and basically that distillation of like. oh winston's bringing it on himself he's so annoying nobody likes him, while in actuality all the ways he's never fit in or done things "right" and how he would never have been hired if taylor hadn't done it are all compliments and endorsements. while rian's been viewed as a capable valuable person by all from the start and treated as Better Than even others who are still also seen people, but her "success" and the shit she gets to continue to do in how she treats people b/c nothing about being at work stops that and some things facilitate & reward it, see: also dollar bill being around the whole time & now also back, definitely include treating a friendly coworker any which way, which she usually chooses to be: badly. and of course shoutout to the thread of taylor being like "if you stay btw you'll probably get all fucked up" but like also rian just Brought the [i'm a bully but it's fine when i do it. it's bad when it happens to Me] stance from the start, but like, obviously always the opportunity to get worse and just be left off with that implication of Never Trying To Learn, just like your new good friend dollar bill

real tl;dr As Fates Go winston being shitted on & fired / driven to quit >>>>>>>> rian sticking around, befriending dollar bill. and like not in the way i'm arguing that the fate is worse like In Conceptual Quality. it's just a hell of a potential condemnation / indirect illustration of like, here's this person it's horrible to be around, here's a reminder rian is cruel to this coworker on a dime anytime, here's rian deciding the horrible person is Alright anyways. maybe they'll be busy with a bullying power struggle the whole time. and maybe winston will get to appear outside the fund actually. just really something to be going like "oh my god lmao rian and dollar bill might actually be specifically getting along well as fellow [be horrible to coworkers] bullies and assholes who feel Above It, it being many other people, this being a kind of requirement there" and to be wondering if billions will make this fact that rian's job is being an asshole more relevant at all, if even to be like yeah leaving off with a lost cause here, including that i really doubt winston can Get Through To her even with his ability & willingness to air his grievances, and like, as though oh actually winston brought it upon himself b/c rian just didn't knowww, that's on him and his visible pain & verbal expressions of that pain & requests that she stop which Weren't Enough, and as though maintaining that onesided dynamic for bullying and demeaning and shutting down and abusing was like an unconscious accidental coincidence every time and not its own Active Process, regardless of what the other person does or doesn't do, and with the agenda of maintaining that [i'm the person who chooses how things go; they're the object that reacts accordingly like it's laws of physics level of demands of reality] one-sided relationship, so they'd only just be looking to react to what that other person does or doesn't do in ways that serve those purposes anyway. sometimes rian's "nicer" but she's still the one deciding how everything goes, winston can only roll with it like a ball at the top of a ramp like, of course, unquestionable. cue space winston, zero gravity

haha another tl;dr. winston being disposed of is a warmer Fate to assign a character than rian's potential "of course she's friends with dollar bill now" like lmfao Ouch. but yeah of course.

#one wrench in things is no idea if [winston :/ing at rian hugging taylor out in the open] will play into anything #didn't seem to affect him now and if it was absolute Need To Know we might've been reminded. but it's billions; no guarantees #and similarly; whatever bullshit gets him shoved out &/or leaving on his own is bound to be unguessable #already dealing with tmc problems; being on on the floor; not much taylor time; though their being Away is new / unknown #winston billions #rian could've at least been nonbinary. but they can't be like no NO rian is not [still Questioning] [and in part thus still closeted too] #winston quant billions sees his new nonbinary person he wants to impress & will be penciling in [swoon about it] immediately #at least with taylor he's just largely had to deal with that distance / lack of access already in general #re: rian it's like yeah here's your new devoted bully to sit next to you who Doesn't actually want you to Never talk to her #b/c he has to have hopes to be dashed & speak up to be made to shut up & be more Available in general than if he Avoided her in general #iconic to take your autistic bestie's interest & hang out to engage w/them abt it until you lash out at them over it for chatting abt it #[rian calls winston a slur] is truly there in spirit even if it doesn't manifest #or that the difference in her & dollar bill is in just variations in affect & specific strategies. not in spirit #like she might do the office: you don't call [rworded] ppl [rwords]. it's bad taste. you call your friends [''s] when they're acting [''ed] #but that's also in a world where it's an episode abt everyone hatecriming winston for being himself Out as autistic #and idk if rian would refer to winston as a friend. she would if it kept him strung along with that hope on his end anyways but #5x05 through 5x07 riawin really had so much potential but it's being realized in taylip #and itself became ''yeah rian could get along fine with dollar bill'' b/c she won't regard winston as a person #true of many other people but they want to ignore him most of the time vs use him as a chew toy so

[limerental]

honestly pros of twn rience are just. that line about fire magic destroying the soul or whatever. it's very sick that they looked at a character that in the books is essentially just a henchman with few magic tricks of his own and were like "anyway he's specifically into fire in a nasty way". gives him a nice aesthetic that simply didn't exist in the books.

the cons of twn rience are everything that happens in s3.

#they truly were like 'this guy can make flames on his fingers' and then didn't channel that into iconic ice skating death symbolism #like come on man what's that about #the other con is that probably 95% of show fans think he is simply called 'fire fucker' i hate it here #in the books the GUY LOSES HIS FINGERS TO CIRI'S ICE SKATES ON A FROZEN LAKE come on that would slap for a fire fingers guy #that fire thing isn't there in the books either

@harpieunion I love that you think the little dude in my icon is my sona. He's not, but I do joke that he's the personification of my ADHD. He's actually just an OC of mine that I've had for over 10 years. But many artists do use their own oc's in placement of themselves when/if they draw an occurrence in their lives. I've debated doing this. It'd be a lie to say that my oc's don't have at least a bit of myself stowed away inside their character.

Although Malika (the oc) and I are very chaotic in nature, I'm also too fucking chill and aloof to be entirely personified by Malika lmao

#A bitch wishes they were the son of the Devil who crawled up top because he heard rockin' jams and wanted to play music too #And had a cute girlfriend like the little dude (name Malika) in my icon has #The reason he's trans is because well I'm trans and I wanted a character to represent that part of me too #and I was like 'trans people are demonized all the time when they're not evil at all. I sure have been. so why not let the son of the devil #also be trans. He's just a little guy. Given the chance he's a good kid' #you see I do have a story there! It's just a question on if I'm ever going to truly write it #his best friend is named Eden :) #Eden is also sweet...I MUST END THIS HERE #the ghost breakdancing beside you
