After I get my research papers on superhero media graded for Rhetorical Analysis, I'm going to offer access to any friends who are interested in reading them!

Superman versus the Klan: American Entertainment Propaganda. This research paper is about a radio serial from 1946, part of the long-running series The Adventures of Superman (sponsored by Kellogg's Corn Flakes, of all things!) featuring Superman / Clark Kent physically and, more importantly, ideologically defeating a lightly fictionalized version of the Ku Klux Klan. I discuss both the significance of this story and its methods of persuading its 1940s audience to take a side on a then very current political issue!

The Comics Code Authority: 1950s Panic over Juvenile Media Consumption. This research paper is about the origins of the Comics Code, a comics censorship authority which controlled the entire American comics industry from 1954 to the 1980s; it included restrictions such as "good must always win over evil"; "there shall be no sexism, racism, or mockery based on religion"; "no drugs must be shown, in any context"; "there shall be no questioning authorities"; and "the words 'crime', 'horror', 'thriller', 'suspense', etc., shall not appear in a comics title." It got real specific and had some real weird results. The paper explains the results of the Comics Code, then focuses on the panic over juvenile delinquency that gave rise to the Code.

Both of these papers do a fairly deep dive into the specific historical context of their focus, and I had a lot of fun writing them!

#Robin speaks #I'm particularly proud of the Comics Code one! #the Superman one is pretty nice too but it's just an ethos logos pathos kairos analysis by the end which is nothing groundbreaking #the Comics Code one... now THAT'S where I get into the MEAT of historical context #comics code paper isn't done but I need to go to BED. I'll finish it tomorrow. #hopefully. praying I have time.

Okay yeah I wasn't ever gonna be contained with just one post so, Callowmoore stuff that's on rotisserie in my brain from ep.94

Long and deep looks at each other and a hug right off the bat!

When asked by Laudna if they were okay in ep. 91, Ashton deflected with 'say that again?' and 'are any of us?', but when Fearne asks they give a genuine answer and then also ask her how she's feeling, because she's been quiet and they care

Ashton, despite hurting when they're touched and exhausted so the chronic pain is as intense as the first time, still wanting to cuddle with Fearne - and feeling at ease when they do

And like, the way they were trying to articulate it implies that they've wanted to ask for quite some time, but the timing has been off or situations have gotten in the way, and they don't want to wait any longer

But also they don't ask if they can cuddle they ask if Fearne wants to; they want to, but they ask Fearne if she doesn't want to sleep alone, because her comfort is as important or more important than their own

Fearne given her past experiences with people of course thinks they mean the other kind of company, which she notes she does want (so that's not off the table) but asks if they could just cuddle - to which Ashton doesn't entirely deny either, but notes that they're tired and in a lot of pain right now so they too was asking for the same

Also the fact that Fearne, who has been in a threesome inside a corrupted haunted wood, will later flirt with a dark echo of herself, and spooned with a ghost pirate captain, got so flustered about asking Ashton that she just wants to cuddle

Despite the awkwardness they still just laugh and joke together through it, they're awkward but it's in a sweet way

All of Ashton's immediate action the second they realised Fearne was missing - similar to how they wanted to find her after the shard incident but this time in a position where they could take action - no nonsense, no pissing contest with Chetney about her scent being on their bed, "Find. Them. Now."

And then still being soft after seeing Fearne again, because all that matters right now is that she's still here. And another post I saw said it better but, Ashton never seeks to change or 'correct' parts of who Fearne is; she can still follow cute animals just next time bring a buddy along (which given how they were in bed together would imply meaning them), they love her for her, fae and all, they just want her to be safe

Not entirely ep. 94 but given how on 91 Ashton pointed out that they needed to sleep and 'figure out who they wanted to be', and then here ask Fearne to be there beside them so they could have someone to wake up to, it to me at least says a lot about what Ashton has already decided; and how despite both of them having dealt with grief and anger and helplessness by bottling it up, hiding away, and shouldering it alone, this time they both wanted to just feel at ease with each other

#callowmoore #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #fearne x ashton #ashton x fearne #ashley johnson #taliesin jaffe #critical role #cr3 #cr3 spoilers #c3e94 #cr spoilers #bells hells #did I mention that I'm not normal about them because AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #shipper rotisserie brain go brrrrr #Orym's passive perception 'damnnn' was great too #I have been praying for 5 weeks for just a tiny bit of comfort between the two and I got a whole buffet! #I mean I trust Matt and narratively it was juicy but c'mon man you couldn't give them one night? The night of FCG blowing up?? #I wonder: if Ashton was the big spoon would they have woke up with Fearne to join the walk/fight? #I ofc wish they returned to the same bed but she was extra exhausted - next time hopefully #Zathuda still needs to die - painfully - maybe they can do it together; steal his dragon and fancy cloak #Ludinus too - live show's a big stage (half expect Sam to debut his new player then) big post-fight kiss at Aeor maybe/please? #hopefully we can also see them pickpocketing each other again because it's their love language #but so is the softness and comfort and awkward giggling and innuendo #which is why I hate that most villains tend to look past/through Ashton - they don't see them but Fearne sees them; they see each other #tag reader bonus - Ashton always sleeps on Fearne's right: so she can see/poke their glass slab but also so their stone arm doesn't cut her

Of Diô, divine mother of all, divinity with many names, Holy Dîmítîr, nurturer of children, bestower of bliss, Oh divine one, who cultivates the grain, who apportions all good things, You who rejoice in peace and our difficult labors, Presiding over seeds, bequeathing abundant grain, thresher, producing the green fruit, You dwell in the hallowed valley of Ælefsís. Oh charming, lovely one, you give nourishment to all the mortals; You were the first to yoke the ploughing oxen, And you produce a lovely and abundant life for mortals; You promote growth, familial companion of Vrómios, splendidly honored, Torch-bearing, holy one, you rejoice in the summer's fruit of the sickle. You are from the earth, you appear, you are gentle to all. You bless us with progeny, oh lover of children, holy one, maiden who nurtures the young, You yoke dragons to your chariot with a bridle, Whirling and circling about your throne as you cry out in ecstasy. Only-begotten, Goddess bearing many children, mighty queen of mortals, Creator of many things, you bloom with flowers, blooming with holiness; Come, happy one, pure one, heavy with the fruits of summer, Bring down peace and lovely order to our world, With riches and blessings and a life governed by good health.

i think today was one of the only times i've ever sent a feedback support form to tumblr staff. the fact i need extensions to make this website accessible from a visual standpoint on desktop is just. pathetic really.

#not dogs #tumblr #i shouldn't NEED to be waiting around for xkit to hopefully figure out how to revert to the old layout #or hope and pray this is only an experiment #there's a reason a don't use twitter or discord or a lot of websites actually #bc looking at those gazillion menus and having a ton of shit on screen is SO overwhelming and awful #if tumblr wants my money they better WORK you know??? #like why would i give money to a website that time and time again has show to be so disrespectful to the users #and in addition i DO pay for some websites actually. like world anvil #except they allow users to suggest promote and vote on potential changes #so. you know.

alright it is settled, I am switching to speed and power work for at least the next 6 weeks. tremendous suffering ahead

#didn't actually hit the strength goals yet but reprioritising mostly because my inability to accelerate meaningfully is insufferable #so frustrating. I would break something. except I can't. because. I am slow. #also I made the mistake of revealing the hill I live on to my instructors lol #ever since they've been telling me I gotta sprint up #coz it's 'such a nice hill' it is a hill of pain is what it is. #and he's like 'yeah you MUST have pain you should be WHEEZING by the time you're done' #:V #hopefully the slightly better fitness will make this survivable pray for me #m

with the sheer amount of medical emergencies that have been happening for the past 2… 3..??? months??? i should be opening commissions to even be able to afford them. but catching up with schoolwork doesn’t allow me any time to do them… schoolwork that i only need to catch up on because of medical things. lmfao.

#life is hell. sorry i havent been posting art #imagine me on the brink of cryinf 80% of the time. that’s how it’s been #i could open a kofi in case people want to donate . because god thats the only way i’m getting income right now #but uhhhnfngm. prices have been horrible for everyone lately #whatever . #(white knuckling the sink) this too shall pass this too shall pass this too shall pass #i’ll open commissions over break hopefully. just praying nothing happens during that rends me useless as a functioning artist smiles #thoughtz
