I constantly have it in my mind that Gillion is three years older than Chip. Gillion, yes, Gillion mother fucking Tidestrider, is the oldest of the albatrio.

It's funny on a base level, Gillion is oldest yet the others need to babysit him. Gillion is the oldest but he knows the least. Haha.

It's less funny if you think about Chip being 8 years old, happy with the black rose pirates and then Gillion. Gillion who is eleven and training to be a weapon for others.

It's less funny if you think about Jay, 12 and spending time with her mom and sister. Gillion, 13, who can't remember his mom and almost expects his sister's hugs to hurt because the only contact he gets is hit over the head for failing again.

Chip, 14, Jay, 16, able to act out and cause trouble, because they're teenagers, why not goof around? And then Gillion, who's 17 and told to be an adult and act like it. But he can't change how he acts, because being mature has always been the standard expectation, he doesn't know how to be an adult when that's already what he's been his whole life.

Chip, 18 and he is scared to kill someone because killing is bad. Jay, 20 and her sister is dead and she is heartbroken. Gill, 21 and he is already used to killing, and he never sees his sister anyways, and he ruins his life. He ruins his life doing wha he thought was right, doing what they taught him to do.

Gillion is three years older than Chip, a year older than Jay. And it seems insignificant until you think about those years being stolen from him. It took Gillion 22 years to be free. Chip was free off and on, he had a childhood, Jay was never held back, she had a childhood.

Gillion didn't.

since @icy-watch has finished seabound (my condolences btw a heartbreaking season finale to get through) I feel I should remind us all of one of the BEST FIGHT SCENES IN NINJAGO

#listen for those who don’t know my background is in ankmation and this group fight is PHENOMENAL #the ninja v the merlopians being one continuous shot with dramatically shifting camera movements and multiple focus characters is beautiful #and seamlessly executed #the way the fight choreo leads the viewers eye so you don’t get lost in everything going on is beautifully done #I would do literally ANYTHING to see the storyboards for this scene to study #Ninjago #lego ninjago #seabound #jay #lloyd #cole #kai #zane #pixal #Wu #benthomaar #kalmaar #wojira #spinjitsu screams #animation

I've been rewatching Skybound recently, and I've found myself thinking that it would've been absolutely incredible for Jay's story if everyone somehow remembered what happened. (with Nya still being alive, of course). Not only could Jay get help for the insane amount of trauma he experienced, but the ninja team, who likely don't think of him as the "leader" type, would then see differently.

Jay really stood up as a leader in this season. Although he made mistakes in the first half, after he escaped Misfortune's Keep he really took charge and showed how great a leader he could be. He proved that he wasn't just someone who could use lightning and say a funny joke. He could be someone people listen to, look up to, and obey orders from. Someone that people trust to lead them.

Not only did Jay make a plan to keep Nya away from Nadakhan as long as possible, but when she was taken he continued on. Jay also, after Ed talked to him, pick himself up after being the only ninja left standing, created a new team, and made a plan, basically all by himself. He led them despite how he has never led a team before, and led them well. He even made the call to risk his own freedom and go into the Djinn blade, saving the members of the team who were trapped.

Jay is so often, especially now with the newer seasons, seen as just the comedy guy, the funny side character, when in reality, when push comes to shove, he can also be an incredible leader, and it would've been amazing if the rest of the team saw him as such!

Prime Empire showed a little bit of his leadership skills too, but not in the same way. I want to see Jay make plans again, make tough calls, and lead others all by himself.

He can do it, he's proven it, but the others don't know it. If only they did. Maybe then Jay could have another chance at being a leader.

Color! Composition still wonky, but this was done mainly to see how I liked the colors and such. I can reposition and resize birds/leaves/etc another time. And get a decent proper hexagon drawn up.

This has been an exercise in not letting perfection hold me back. I have to start getting back into art somehow, right?

#traditional media #colored pencil #avian #blue jay #Baltimore oriole #bird #wings #sketchbook #personal work #color study #green ash #red oak #im sure I’ll get fussy over the poses of both birds and branches before long #probably won’t work as a tattoo sleeve like I intended but I can always take it in for a consultation #as soon as I find out who I want to do it and if I can even handle the pain and all that #should dig up my loon one first because that will be slightly easier to endure #if I were smart I’d get a small tattoo first #probably a rusty patched bumble bee on aster let’s be honest #this would cost too much money to have done who am I kidding

there's a reason my favourite poly ship ever is from iron widow and its just because it was set up like a fucking love triangle and i could never tell who exactly my girl Zetian would end with. like it was the classic who will our protagonist (who uses she/hers pronouns for ease and not because she's actually a women but you won't know this till later in the book) choose: her rich childhood best friend who would sacrifice everything including his life and more importantly his money for her or the soft hearted war criminal who she is forced to team up with because he is the only person who won't die because of how strong her qi is.

and you know i was dreading the moment she would have to choose between them because I fucking hate love triangles but suddenly my babygirl Yizhi is fanboying over Shimin and I'm like waitttttt do THEY end up together????? Tell me they end up together!!! and then it turns around and they're both doting over zetian? like the bisexual part of me who crushes on both boys and girls at the same time but didn't know it could date them at the same time just fucking began to scream. like I died and ascended to a higher plane (if you got that joke then kudos to you).

of course then my soul died a second time because I learned the sequel will release in April but honestly good for xiran to refuse to work on heavenly tyrant because publishing didn't pay them enough money to live on and instead work on things that will actually feed them. ill just reread my iron widow ebook and wait for the physical copy (that I now finally have enough money to buy! thank you to various relatives for funding my need to buy queer books. i will probably see you again next diwali) to arrive!

#iron widow #gao yizhi #li shimin #wu zetian #xiran jay zhao #woo that is a very long textpost #honestly where is this enthusiasm when im trying write or study #like the ADHD hyper focus was strong in this one

jay shows affection quietly, softly, with padded footsteps leading to hugs from behind and sugar cookies and silent watches that last all night and bandaging wounds.

chip shows affection loudly but indirectly, forcing the crew to take breaks and joking until they crack a smile and making sure they eat and encouraging them at everything.

Gill shows affection directly but oddly, with small headbutts and random cuddling and small handmade gifts and offers to teach things.

alphonse shows affection by being there, a constant anchor and grounding force, always having an answer and always giving advice and hugs.

gryffon shows affection despite himself, angry compliments and reluctant hugs and hesitantly accepted gifts that he'll never admit that he loves.

queen shows affection extravagantly, with huge displays and earnest "i love you"s.

drey and finn show affection by reassuring and hugging and just trying to do right by these stupid kids /aff

Earl shows affection loudly and meanly, yelling at everyone to stay safe and saying he hates them but keeping the fridge stocked with juice

and ollie? well he's a mix of all his parents :]

marble hornets but everytime jay gets in a fight with Tim he makes one of those break up videos

[brittlebutch]

the evolution of the operator symbol over the course of the series is so endlessly fascinating to me, because like. Alex came up with the symbol and only ever really used it on his hypergraphia papers, which we don't really see him do much (if at all) after season one

but Brian,, Brian uses that symbol constantly. It's basically a signature by the end of the series - he leaves it on Tim's medical records, and on the back of Alex's photo of Amy, and on the note he left for Jay about Benedict Hall - he even uses it in his final video to unveil his name - it's self-referential, but he doesn't ever really seem to use it to denote The Operator the way Alex did?

Like, to me it really does seem like he basically appropriated it. "This is the symbol you created for the thing that was hunting you, but now I'm the thing that's hunting you" - like, hh fuck dude, Looking At You

#N posts stuff #marble hornets #totheark #mh lb #i was thinking about this last night and just rewatched all of the totheark videos to check my own work lol #and like. even in the videos he uses it as a self-referential symbol #he uses it in Intermission - 'did you see me? i saw you' #he uses it in Reminder - 'do you remember me?' immediately followed by His footage of Jay at the antique store #he uses it in Decline - 'he will pay' denoting His revenge quest on Alex #sometimes there IS more ambiguity in its application - like in 'Inquiry' or 'memories' #where like maybe it could be denoting the effects of the operator's influence? but those are s2 and i'm Mostly talking about s3 #but i mean even in s1 the symbol shows up in the last frame of some videos like a signature/sign off #sorry brian is just so fascinating to me i want to study him like a beetle

[navysealt4t]

do u guys remember in the fey wild arc how jay was so distraught at gill's disappearance. and how it was so hard for her to believe he was still alive even if she wanted to believe it. do you ever think how ayva's death might have made her terrified of the people she loves dying or leaving . and do you think she may have held out hope that ayva was still alive, somehow, somewhere, only to be crushed day after day as ayva never came home. do you ever think about how it might have been easier to never have hope than to lose it. do you ever think about how she literally made her deal with niklaus to get gill back. do you guys remember when she cried into the pearl, promising to get him out of there. do you guys remember that
