#just watched the normal ending

[lucabyte]

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking. #nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose. #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!) #which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around) #and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt) #and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine) #the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly. #but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief) #as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

#free palestine #israel #gaza #vijay prashad #worth watching just for prashad #he goes into the geopolitical context and implications of what's now happening in palestine #including the (possible end of?) saudi/israel normalizations #he also does a great job of explaining why the two state solution is no longer an option

#thellos art corner #zombiecleo fanart #hermitcraft #hermitblr #mcyt fanart #mcyt #ok time for a peek inside my skull: i really contemplated not posting this. not for any reasons of disliking it #im pretty conscious about how fat people are characterized/portrayed around food in media. both in fan works and canonized material #(flashbacks to hunk from voltron) i really think about ways to defy the way fat bodies are portrayed in my works. while also staying normal #i think at the end of the day i really see food as a love language. and serving people i love (even if its just coffee) brings me joy #even if theres a one-dimensional box that fat characters get put into regarding food. it makes me happy! so i'll try to do it with grace #i think representation isnt always this mentally twisting lol. but its definitely something i think about. #i hope i can positively project my feelings about food and love onto a plus size body (as a chubby girl :handheart:) and showcase that love #ok yeah yeah its 11pm. time to put meemaw in bed. if you read all this ur rad <3 also i stopped watching HC peeposad

"You still deserve to eat. You still deserve to laugh."

me before watching trigun: "oh people really like the priest guy, i guess."

me after watching trigun 5 times and showing my brothers a wip of this to which one said "oh. the priest guy your favourite character, huh": ATTACKED ATTACKED ATTACKED

(the characters are really strong and well written, okay. i just really like how they all interact with each other o k a y.)

#livio the double fang #trigun maximum #trimax #nicholas d. wolfwood #vash the stampede #i'm just really really normal about the ending #i watched 98 twice and realised livio isn't in it at all at all #ghost wolfwood makes me insaaaaaane #trigun spoilers #perhaps #the orphange looks like the corpse of a sand worm. to me. #sometimes. using yourself as reference for characters that you love can be something so special #abrielart #fanart #trigun #stampede orphanage design goes really hard

ZoSan would be a fast burn if they ever talked to each other. It’s a slow burn because they’re physically incapable of communicating in any way other than fighting lmao

#I’m sorry their lack of communication is so so funny to me because there’s so much about each other that they’d actually like if they ever #had a normal conversation #real talk in my head the only reason they end up together is because they have nakama who love to meddle #and are also sick and tired of watching them dance around each other #otherwise they would just pine separately and never ever do anything about it #Zoro in particular is like ‘hm feelings alright I will take this to my grave’ #rambles #one piece #ZoSan

collab #2 with @xenole i was given a chibi yakumo and i.. i...... turned it into thiS

#I AM SO SORRY I DREW YAKUMO AGAIN ADFSJEIADKS LOOK OK so xenole gives me the tiny crying yakumo. #says DO WHATEVER YOU WANT and THUS i get to thinking #my immediate thought was #i'm going to make oli breast boobily while comforting him #bc i was determined to draw xenole's fave this time. i swore it to myself. i WILL stop being so self indulgent #but the chibi on chibi comforting scene didn't sit right with me. it was too straightforward. not something i would draw normally #it was hhhh as u say.... not on brand.? it did not inspire me. idea benched.... #so days pass and i'm still pondering ideas on what to do to the sad spaghetti. #configurations of clan members danced in my head. some defending yaku. some comforting. some bullying #the ideas usually involved at least oli or kuya bc once again. xenole bias #then while i'm in the shower i got frustrated with my lack of ideas and thought #i'll jujst eat.him. just. chew on him. i'm tired of him #AND THE IMAGE OF KUYA EATING YAKUMO FOR BREAKFAST POPPED INTO MY MIND #originally it was going to be kuya eating yakuflakes and oli giving him serious side eye but then the brain went #WHAT IF IT'S YAKUMO WATCHING KUYA EAT YAKUMO. THAT IS FUNNY. IT MUMST HAPPEEN #BUT I REFUSED at first. i was angry at myself. this is not a competition to see how you can STILL sHOVE YAKUMO into a drawing. #plus the composition would shrink xenole's chibi down! i would take over so much space by comparison! THE DISRESPECT! TO THE COLLAB PROCESS #but once i get fixated on smth...well. i ended up doing the idea and just praying xenole wouldnt eviscerate me for it #i'm sorry my liege. my grip on the reins was weak. the goofy clown horses went stampeding #so idk now it's the two of em having a peaceful breakfast in kuya's cabin but only kuya is at peace and yakumo's this close to a breakdown #i feel like there should be something in the space between them. a speech bubble or something . something mean is being said #yakuya #nu carnival yakumo #nu carnival kuya

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad #because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid #i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back #i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades #i might be able to snag a short nap before work #but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen #WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE #well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway #OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal. #anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently #emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it #and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry #so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever? #and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this?? #also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m #so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point #anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari #after escaping her british nobility life #and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course. #and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known #and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates. #and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time #also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w #but at least he’s still obsessed with her #this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either. #ml #anna rambles #asks

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #I've been picking away at kh:3d for a while #I watched all the cutscenes before years ago but I'd never played it before I started last year #I got to the xehanort fights right before my wife got home from work #so after she and our partner went to bed I was like 'oh I'm close to the end of the game I'll just finish it out' #reader it took me 3 hours lmao #it's only like a 20 hour game #(I only died once or twice so that was not why it took so long) #(I was playing on beginner mode because playing kh1 on normal made me want to cry so I don't bother) #(the challenge is not the fun part for me in this series.) #I really like kingdom hearts :) I love earnestness.

It’s about how Cha Yeowoon represented everything everything everything that Tae Myungha hated about himself and he fell in love anyway. He fell in love with the broken sad boy who just needed someone there.

It’s about how Myungha took care of everyone else but neglected himself. He neglected the sad boy who just needed someone there.

What Myungha needed was nothing more than himself.

It’s about how Yeowoon fell in love with Myunga and in doing so learned to love himself enough to advocate when he was unhappy and he’s needs weren’t being met.

It’s about how Yeowoon learned to give people he hated a chance because he gave Myungha a chance and he learned people are wonderful actually.

What Yeowoon needed was to give himself a chance.

And now they have each other and they’re both happy. But more importantly, they are choosing each other and choosing happiness. They no longer need each other to be happy but they get the choice and they choose each other.

#love for love's sake #feeling completely normal about this show #how am i supposed to watch anything else tonight #cause this show did something to me and i cant even explain what #the storytelling is just on a completely different level #this show makes me want to sing and laugh and never take a single moment for granted #but it also makes me want to cry and let myself feel what i need to feel #that ending really took its audience by the hand and led us into a warm embrace #it walked us right into the safest hug #and i am absolutely and completely fine #and for once i mean it

i know this is A Reach and possibly nitpicky but i think the prettification of the hunger games movies can be seen even in the small matter of katniss's hairstyle. what's described as a simple and practical braid in the books is now a fancy diagonal over-the-shoulder dutch braid in the movies (a braid that is neither functional when the purpose is to get your long hair out of the way, nor very quick/easy to do on yourself), and added to that is the fact that katniss has bangs, once again something that is very impractical when you consider that katniss hunts for a living and those loose hairs would not only be visually obstructive but would also get caught in the bowstring and yanked like hell every time she shoots. in the training sequence of catching fire you can literally see that the bangs are in her eyes. there's a reason olympic archers always have their hair tied up and tucked out of the way. if she were to have a dutch/french braid, the point of that would literally BE to get those shorter hairs out of the way. but since this is a hollywood movie of course they have to make their star have pretty hair that frames her face just so

#uhhhh me #it would be suuuuch a cool commentary if she does normally have a simple braid #but any time the capitol wants her on tv they just give her that impractical hairdo #a bastardized prettified version of her braid #which has both cultural and personal significance to katniss #this is the smallest example of the prettification of the hunger games #the biggest one being ofc the fact katniss was Burnt As Hell by the end of the story #(tho thematically i think it would be more impactful if her face hadn't been spared) #(she is messed up and there is no way to hide it. she is no longer a pretty face to lead the rebellion. she is just a very traumatized girl #i haven't gotten to the third movie yet but i Know she left that burning incident with no marks to speak of #she doesn't even have singed hair. she is perfectly fine #like. boo #i know it's taking me forever to watching this trilogy. i just have other things to do

still thinkin abt the etho skizz Oarallels in session 7 btw. they can be your angle or yuor devil (as long as “you” means “zombiecleo”). etho’s advice was ultimately harmless in the long run (other than losing scott a heart) whereas skizz’s was well-intentioned but ultimately led to more chaos (giving bdubs a diamond helped gear him up when he was a zombie i think? and scar was tasked to be the villain of the server so “helping him” was technically an evil act).

and then they get zombie’d and it just parallels more. etho, the devil, risks his own life to fail the zombie task and protect his teammates, whereas skizz, the angel, risks his own life to target his team harder than anyone else so they can join him in zombification. are you seeing this

I am seeing this and I am going nuts over it. The devil isn't a evil has he's made out to be and the angel causes more harm in the long run.

The devil would rather keep his teammates safe while risking his own life and staying alone, while the angel wants the company of his teammates and isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get them on his side.

They both have good intentions and yet, the devil did more good then bad, and the angel couldn't be as good as he wanted.

Just- *chewing on the bars of my enclosure*

I Love how this episode allows Beck to be a teenager and the episode right after makes him experience trauma beyond repair

#rendezvous is such a good episode I love it so much #on my first watch I didn’t care much for it but when I rewatched it I liked it a LOT #it’s such a good one-off episode showing Beck finally being able to sort of go back to his life before Clu’s arrival #along with ofc showing off a side of Paige that I very much adore #it’s just good #not normal about how it ends. I will never be normal about that #tron #tron uprising #tronblr #tron beck #beck tron uprising #tron uprising beck #tron fanart #art tag

I'm telling you, everything's gonna be all right as long as we're together!

#mario movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario bros #super mario bros movie #super mario bros movie spoilers #cherrysip edits #i've seen so many screenshots and a few scattered gifs but it doesn't seem like anyone's actually done a proper gifset SO #I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS SCENE. SO UNBELIEVABLY NORMAL. I DIDN'T WATCH THIS CLIP 60 TIMES AND CRY EVERY TIME #YOU CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING #but seriously it is unbelievable how sweet these brothers are. i am SO grateful that the movie is actually giving a lot of emotional weight #to their relationship! i just can't get over how mario is wholly focused on soothing luigi because that's what's important to him #and how luigi does relax and smile because he trusts his brother wholeheartedly #PICTURES TAKEN SECONDS BEFORE DISASTER :( :( :( :( :( :( #i also love how you can tell mario genuinely did not know that luigi was sucked in too (this is confirmed in the newest tv spot too) #and so he's kind of in quiet awe of where he is and then HE SEES LUIGI and PROTECTIVE BIG BROTHER MODE activates instantly #their reunion in the movie is actually going to end me. i will leave my mortal body behind and rejoin the sea. IT BETTER BE GOOD #but after this i don't see how it CAN'T be. this relationship is clearly the heart of the movie - if it's already emotional in this scene #then they've got to pay that off at the end!!! it's the law!!! otherwise things will just fall flat. i believe in u movie don't let me down

Thinking about love in season 2 of The Bear and how Carmy seems to conceptualize "love" and "fun" as opposites — because for him, they historically have been. It's something I really noticed in Fishes (2x06): how vocally and genuinely everyone in his family — including in-laws and functionally adoptive members like Richie and the Fak siblings — loves each other, but also how deeply entwined that love is with stress and chaos and criticism.

Natalie is nicknamed, by people who love her, after a mistake she made years ago and which is still held over her head when she tries to help in the kitchen. Donna loves her children and is loved by them in turn, but she's constantly on the edge of a meltdown, unable to offer or accept support. She spends hours cooking them a beautiful dinner, and then she drives a car through the wall. Michael reminds Carmy he loves him and tries to give him advice, and then he gets in a massive fight with Uncle Lee at the dinner table and starts throwing forks. Cooking is clearly so important to his family, but doing this activity they love, and especially doing it around the people they love, so rarely results in a feeling of "amusement or enjoyment."

And so it's no surprise, really, that the career Carmy loves is one that gives him panic attacks and made him throw up before work every day, or that he (and Natalie and Sydney) not only decide on such a radical transformation of the restaurant but give themselves a ridiculously sort timeline to complete it. He's stressed and miserable a lot of the time, but is it really something he loves if he doesn't feel that way?

#the bear #the bear s2 spoilers #carmy berzatto #slightly unformed bc i just finished watching and my brain spat this out #side note: i think this association between love and chaos is why the family but especially carmy has such a problem with pete #he's too normal and sweet #everyone claims not to understand the 7 fishes but he's the only one who threatens the tradition by bringing an 8th fish #he's also the only one who never calls natalie sugar #i'm not actually that invested in pete as a character idk how he ended up as the subject of my tag essay #kvetch oc
