i think mostly we as a culture need to stop pretending media is for us and instead recognize that it's for the people making it. "the show didn't do the thing I wanted it to" is so not the point. did it do what the people making it wanted it to do? did it tell the story they were trying to tell? than it was successful. if that doesn't align with what you wanted to happen, don't get up in arms about it. don't badmouth the creators and throw a tantrum. that's what fan works are for. the text is the text, and it told the story it was telling. you wouldn't be like "ugh shakespeare is insane for act v btw like there was no reason for juliet to kill herself she should've just waited and then her and romeo could have been together wtf this ruined the whole play" like no!!! the themes were there the set-up was there the foreshadowing was there shakespeare did what he intended to. just because it wasn't a happy ending and just because you thought it should've went differently doesn't mean it was bad. read a fic where juliet lives and move on.

#this is about ghosts but honestly fandom in general #stop pretending the creators of things owe you certain story lines. they're making it not you #i explained it like this to my sister: #imagine you're reading a book and there are sort of hints and scenes that you take to interpret a character as gay #you cite quotes and talk about the themes and the impact of your interpretation #and then at the end of the book the character comes out as asexual. #and then a lot of those scenes and quotes that you were using as evidence for your interpretation- #now they could be construed to have been pointing towards them being ace all along #just because it wasnt the end you fabricated in your head based on your understanding of the hints #doesn't mean it wasnt always the writers plan from the beginning. #AND it doesnt mean you can't keep imagining a world where they're gay instead #it just means that the writer was leaving those clues to point you towards the ending #and you interpreted the clues differently #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers #bc like. if last resort was the ending #you could 'read' the whole series with the understanding that they weren't going to leave the house #and the foreshadowing would add up #but now with the special. you can go back and 'read' the series with the understanding that they leave #and it still all adds up. the foreshadowing was there it just meant something different than you thought. #stories have beginnings middles and ends #you predetermined the ending while still in the middle and got mad when you weren't right. #does that make sense?

You ever just see people talk about the Percy Jackson books and know somewhere, deep in your heart, that none of these people have understood that this is a series made for middle schoolers. And that fandom will very frequently lie to them like, all the time. No, that character probably isn’t ooc, you’re just thinking of what the fandom turned them into. No, this book isn’t a horrible stain next to the others before it, literally all of them were like this. It’s Percy Jackson. It’s cheesy and occasionally makes a very questionable writing decision.

You gotta be in this for the long haul or jump ship my guys. Be cringe and free or be gone

#percy jackson #tsats #solangelo book #rick riordan #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #the sun and the star #text post #yall are astounding me in ways i didnt know was possible god bless #also this was mostly written by mark not rick. like yes he signed off on it but still this is mostly mark #but its still Fine??? its fine?????? besties a book abt our favorite gays not being perfect is not the end of the world #did i cringe? hell yes. but was i free? tremendously. and i had a lot of fun i think #'bianca is in elysium but she was reincarnated??' yeah thats odd. anyway that scene was cute wasnt it #'everything is so on the nose' yeah its for middle schoolers and percy jackson isnt known for subtlety. its very rare #'will was ooc' weve literally barely gotten anything on him and no povs until now this IS establishing his character #'the puffs remove nicos whole trauma' no it doesnt. its a fantasy way to sort of explain that nicos trauma is now open instead of repressed #do i wish it wasnt sometimes explained as 'now the trauma is gone'? yes. but i think its moreso meant to be a way of nico dealing with them #he still HAS that trauma fellas. hes still going to be living with it. its just gonna be easier now. thats part of healing besties #also we dont know how these puffs are gonna act in the future so like. hush. shhhhhhhhhh. shut. it was literally never going to be perfect #its pjo. i love this series to death but. its pjo. it is. in fact. sometimes badly written. as it has been many times before in books before #and what else??????? it may not be written the greatest but its MY series that isnt written the greatest square up

Harry Osborn fundamentally comes accross to me as emotionally mixed up. I don't think he can fully understand or express the full breadth of his love and anguish, and so his bottled up emotions come out as bitterness and anger. And who can blame him after years of his youth were spent grief stricken, pained, and isolated? I mean, things were going so well for him! But suddenly, from his point of view, everything he wants is within his view but so out of reach; the Emily-May Foundation, his own health, his father's love, and most of all, Peter. Everything he covets is being taken away. Then he hears his mother tell him to make his dream come true. The same woman that said Harry and Peter make each other better. It kills me that the integral caveat of Harry's dream is that he wants–or even needs–to be united with Peter. To heal the world together. He finally has the chance to be strong and change the world for the better, but that's not enough. It means so much that his pain manifested through Venom not as a need for vengeance, but as a sheer certainty that he and Peter will be together. Peter is undeniably Harry's favorite person, and "brothers" is probably only a sliver of how he feels. Either way, it's evident that Harry loves Peter, terribly. His love for Peter gave him the strength to suffer through years of medical treatments, and it gave him the strength to fight past Venom and tell Peter that he doesn't want to suffer anymore. I think he already knew that Peter loved him, but at the end, he got to hear it. And in his last fading moment, he is united with Peter, and they heal the world together.

I have nothing more to add. I'm just speechless at this point. Their love healed the world. Thank you Insomniac Games.

#harry osborn #parksborn #msm 2 ps5 #i think its very telling that harry felt replaced by Miles. peter. pete. your best friend loves you more than anyone else in the world. #pay more attention to him. #harry definitely has some intricate rituals. #create an entire foundation just so you can ask him to be with you forever without admitting that you cannot live without him. #msm2 spoilers #note: this isnt meant to undermine his love for MJ. while it wasnt as much of a focus it is clear that MJ and Harry love one another.

senior year nancy is so funny because here she is, editor of the school paper right, and she has this nosy freshman breathing down her neck and whenever he starts to annoy her, whenever he pries too much, she’s like: okay how can i insult him and get him to shut up, how can i hit him where it hurts the most. then she settles on

“FIRST of all you’re not jonathan” or alternatively…

“[jonathan’s] not like YOU…(explains why jonathan is her favorite boy in the whole world)”

she’s just so high strung and DONE and snappy and ready to graduate and you know what she is right; sometimes the best way to put someone in their place is reminding them that they are simply NOT (and will never be) jonathan byers™

#hello such a power move #i guess thats how they got the power couple reputation by the time senior year came? #i need to ask robin what exactly she meant by unstoppable power couple #and if it was a little sardonic #maybe not #fred stranger things #you have to feel bad for him like i would cry if she told me i wasnt jonathan #nancy wheeler #jonathan byers #jancy #text #jonathan x nancy #st4 #stranger things #jonathan byers most darling boy in the world!

Day 3: Gabriel

Forced to take things slow, rebelling by doing a double feature.

Prompt by @spaccadt and @paulacaulfield

That fun moment when the scanner picks up on the small lumps of acrylic paint. I love that. /s

And here's me trying to fix it.

I have feelings about this drawing. Once again, not telling which ones.

I love fairytopia so much. It meant the world to me as a child.

#ive talked ab this before but #fairytopia and rudolph hold such special places in my heart #idk being an autistic child who wasnt liked #i saw these stories of people being disabled and different #but ultimately being celebrated for those things #and it meant the world to me.

OKAYYYY IVE WATCHED THE NEW INVINCIBLE EPISODE NOW. the mark and amber plot and the developments on the viltrumite invasion plot were soooooo interesting this show can really hit when it wants to huh

#thunder rambles #i mean i know we all knew that. i just forget sometimes when we have an extended scene about mark reading nolan's shitty pulp novels #and also when mark and his roommate slash best friend havent interacted onscreen since two episodes ago #when said best friend accused mark of ditching him for his gf💀 #like i hope that wasnt just a throwaway joke please invincible please follow through on the friendship angst #lets pile on the heartbreak for mark lets fucking do it lets have his best friend take him to task in the exact same way amber just did #william has a different angle for it as well since mark not responding to him meant william had to deal with his bf threatening to khs #by calling a goddamn government agent #like this boy has 0 friends #side note its actually so smart for william's list of who to call in a crisis with rick be 1) mark and 2) donald #like yeah maybe the police are more likely to respond but donald is 1000 times more qualified to deal with that crisis #smart boy. and yet hes so one dimensional its not even funny #rick and donald are finishing their character arcs and exploring the fucked up effects of scifi trauma #meanwhile william: 🚹 #i dont have the man_standing emoji on my phone so i had to put the male toilet sign💀 #anyway yeah. after mark has to confront the existence of his evil alternate universe selves #and the life of his mother and brother being threatened #lets force him once again to choose between big-picture world-saving duty and the needs of someone human whom he loves! #this time - william edition! #invincible

[The Final sugi dying kitten betrayal -> utsuro-gin fight -> sakura boat imagination -> completely tonally consistent with these ginpachi-sensei closer]

now listen. u know i would rather die than post five nearly-uninterrupted minutes of a fight scene. so take that into consideration.

#slight-- #flashing #--in the first scene but i tried to cut the worst of it #sopping wet gintoki posting #videos #my computer is screaming at me. can i recall my thoughts. #i think theyre INSANE for that utsuro falling -> takasugi bound on the ground watching shouyou's execution transition. #rereading the manga fight scene. there IS some. how do i want to phrase this. unreliable perspective fuckery. retconning of memories. #nonliterality Mind Tricks. but like. things still happened. this movie here takes it so far that im like. IS GINTOKI EVEN REAL? #is this just the gintoki that lives in takasugi's dying brain and utsuro's dying brain that utsuro got from shouyou's humanity brain fungus #being his shinigami/psychopomp to walk him thru his first ever death. guhhhhhhh. littlest baby on the planet who is afraid of dying. #<- i love utsuro with all my heart. sorry for being mean to him at first turns out he's the char of all time meant for me. #anyways i think the movie is. SO BALLSY to stretch reality so far for their climax fight. and in such a. way. #taking place in complete silence. almost no actual fighting in the 200 Chapters Of Fighting arc fight scene conclusion. #reanimating so many key moments just to canonize the identity blurring triangle between three dead guys (tho gintoki gets kicked out of #the world of the dead on that sakura boat. sad.) #just a really ambitious thing to put in this aesthetically ugly and boringly standard as hell movie. AND TO SERVE WHAT END. #more standard as hell jump Power Of Friendship in the end. just with some extra weird cannibal ouroboros endless mirrors gay ass flavor. #<- gintama has always been abt making and surviving connections im not mad abt that but u know. got so generic lol. #thoooooo rereading the manga scene and understanding the plot more this time i do like the feeling that utsuro wasnt defeated so much as #just ran out his time. being kept busy from causing more problems in his final hours w a pointless fight hed never be able to turn down. #[about to digress 20 more times] anyways what else. theres an utsuro soft expression when he regrows sugi's arm that i like. interesting-- #choice. i also cut it but i love gintoki wandering gaze avoiding sugis eyes dying in his arms. and his fighting back tears so badly. #the way the dynamic and emotionally destroying shot transitions dont stop even while sugi's dying. someone on staff was working their ass #off for him and i appreciate that.

none of us were ever meant to do car rego or fill out elaborate tax paperwork or pay fees or renew licenses or email for cross-institutional confirmations or wait for an hour on hold with cenno or relink government services online every three years or apply for permits or heed deadlines. do you hear me? we were not put on this earth to fill out forms.

Was flipping through an old sketchbook from 2020 and decided to redraw this random oc. The Cauldron Witch is a cutie <3

------

[ID: Two drawings of the same character done on paper 4 years apart.

The Cauldron Witch, as she is named, is a ghost like diety with star motifs. She has curly hair with a flowy ribbon in it, round glasses, star shaped freckles, horns on her head, a star shaped patch on her left eye, a short shirt with flower petal like sleeves, a scarf draped around her arms, and a lot of jewelry on her hands and around her neck.

Where the first drawing from 2020 is messy and done in pencil, the second drawing from 2024 is cleaner and finished in pen with shading and a blue rectangle background to bring attention to it.

\End ID]

#if anyone wants to know about the story she was a part of (tho she wasnt even a main character at all) #i would be EXSTATIC to infodump about the political mess that was yhe world of The All Seeing Eye story #(the title wasnt a tma reference. i swear i got into TMA after developing TASE) #(but i will say it was a pretty big ripoff of undertale) #(not the title. i meant the plot) #(anyways) #my doodles #my art #redraw #tase #the all seeing eye #i wonder if i ever even used those tags originally... #ramadan drawings

i applied for this job (that i feel a little overqualified for. it isn’t work i’ve specifically done before but i’ve done enough that is similar & have kept a comparable job for years & also it’s listed as entry level with pretty low pay) and i got an email that i didn’t even get an interview 

#finding work that doesnt force you to compromise on values is hard #and its wild! i have a lot of relevant experience and meet all their qualifications and nearly all of their additional desired ones #i guess it wasnt meant to be but woof #i applied for something else i think id be really good at but i have way less relevant experience so tbh im expecting rejection there but #thought it would be good experience #jobs are weird. i think there is a world i have a career and i am extremely passionate and good at what i do #i like being able to take pride in work #but like. i really have yet to find that in work i'm not making for myself #i do wish i could go back to being 21 at the sawmill. i was fucking going through it when i worked there #and if i wasnt going thru a breakup and deep in grief and the menagerie of bad habits id picked up i think i wouldve excelled #but yknow i got a lot of chances and learned a lot and i look back fondly. really couldnt have had a better boss there NGL...just wish id #done a little better yknow? #we didnt vibe politically but we really got along otherwise and i think we shared the same values for work and craft and stuff and id love #to find that again
