#look how she treats us

[captain-noir]

im 90% sure that the deterioration of lestat and claudia’s relationship can be attributed to him reading her diaries. up until that point (barring charlie because i chalk that up to her trauma and his strict and tactless approach to death and not any underlying malice) he’d been keeping his distance per louis’ request. its only when he was confronted with her thoughts - inked with ungratefulness/hurtful words for both of your guardians - and her actions that led the cops to their sanctuary, was when he washed his hands off of her. and his resentment only calcified into pure hatred when louis pined for her for seven years in spite of everything

#interview with the vampire #iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #claudia de lioncourt #idk where im going with this but its interesting #it ties with the book canon re merrick and the diaries and louis learning just how much she hated both of them #lestat doesnt understand how louis can love someone who thinks so uncharitably of him who doesnt appreciate the life he has given her #a destitute little girl destined to live a inconsequential little life #look what we gave her #look how she treats us #look how she treats you #his emphasis on /both/ of your guardians always struck me as odd - almost like he expected her to hate him but not louis #and he cant wrap his mind around it because he thinks louis loves and dotes on her to excess #and yet she receives louis' love and louis' patience and louis' favour far more openly than him #like not to make everything about louis but also its all about louis #its almost like lestat is hateful on behalf of louis #i hope they never seek therapy #yaz has thoughts #text

i like him

#somebody needs to keep me 8 metres away at all times or else ill start chewing on him #i just want everyone to know if i end up making a character who happens to resemble harvey in any shape or form #it probably wasnt a coincidence 😐and it will happen again #if i remember maybe ill try getting stardew when it goes on sale.. my friend showed me her farm and she named her chicken after doja cat #or maybe it was nikki minaj i cant remember. and she also said smth about monsters and passing out if you stay out after a certain hour #idk how accurate tht is all i know is the funny fucked up grandpas bed #i read somewhere that harveys supposed to be in his early to mid thirties and i dont have a problem with it but i think itd be very funny #if hes actually younger than he looks hes just a med school postgrad lmao. idk how well that headcanon would hold up since ive #never played the game and idk how often ppl talk about his age or if itsjust an implied thing. i just think its really really funny #im trying to get into the habit of drawing poses so im using reference images to try and build up muscle memory #i found some cute pictures of two ppl playing by the sea shore and it reminded me of xin and sailor so im gonna draw em like that #i havent drawn em in so long..... maybe i should update xins reference since i changed their lore quite a bit #myart #my art #doodles #stardew valley #stardew #sdv #sdv harvey #kinda wanna see him whimper a little bit. as a treat

more cfau miscellaneous things because Childhood Friends Danny and Jason have my head and heart always and I need to finish rewriting chapter two dammit (and redo the half-finished chapter 4 because its just Not The Vibes). i'm almost through I need to get through the graveyard scene. (i just stubbornly refuse to have it be shorter than the original chapter and thats the little death. that is the mind killer.)

Danny and jason’s ghost forms both smell faintly like burnt flesh and cigarettes. However, Jason has a more smokey smell while Danny’s smells almost,,, electrical? In a sense? Like he just straight up smells like burnt flesh and sulphur while Jason smells like someone put him in a smoker first.

It’s very much an unpleasant smell but Danny finds an odd comfort in it just as much as he finds a comfort in the smell of nicotine.

(Jason post-revival smells burnt flesh once and is immediately offput by the fact that it brings him an instinctive comfort. He doesn’t realize its because it reminds him of Danny, and is uncomfortable by it.)

-

In an au of an au, Danny’s altercation with Rath ends with Rath regaining enough of his sanity to snap out of the grieving state and ends with him breaking down. Instead of being souped and imprisoned, Rath, who is permanently 14, decides to Move On into the unknown. He’s exhausted, heartbroken, and tired.

(Is this influenced heavily by the ParaNorman scene where he talks to Agatha and helps her move on? Yes. But it doesn’t fit with the Original Storyline so im shoving it into an Au of an Au.)

Rath tells Danny that Jason lied to them (which he genuinely believes), and that he’s tired of waiting/looking for him/grieving. Jason is gone. He isn’t coming back, he abandoned them. And he wants his mom and dad, and his sister, and his friends. And he’s ready to join them.

He leads Danny out to Gotham, which other than Amity Park might’ve been the only city left untouched due to Rath’s own mental block on the place. They go out to the park he and Jason used to frequent or up to one of crime alley’s rooftops, and there Rath lies down and goes to sleep. Only to never wake up again, materializing into nothing as his soul moves on.

Before Rath leaves, he forces Danny to promise him that he’ll only wait for Jason for ten years. After that if he doesn’t find him, or if Jason doesn’t show, then Danny has to move on. Whether that be like how Rath does, or if its inly mentally/emotionally, doesn’t matter. He has to move on. Don’t wait for him. Don’t waste his time any more.

(“Oh, and if you find him, kick his ass for me.”)

Danny reluctantly agrees, and Rath lies down. Danny sings to him as he falls asleep.

(Angsty points if the vigilantes including Red Hood caught wind of their presence and were silently watching from the shadows. Rath might know they’re there, but Danny’s too focused on Rath to notice.)

(If only so that Red Hood realizes that this is what happened to Danny, and that Danny is gone before he can make things right. The tragedy, folks. The angst. The initial realization that Danny was Rath, and then also that Danny was dead and has been dead for years, and that before he moved on, he moved on believing that Jason abandoned him.)

(like i said it doesn't fit in the original timeline/storyline hence why its an au of an au and isn't nearly a fleshed out, but i was largely just focusing on the tragedy of Rath moving on and Jason being alive to see it and realize just who Rath is.)

-

Just like how the Lazarus pits shot Jason's twiggy 4'6-5'4 (depending on what you find) feet tall and 86lb ass up like a tree an essentially fixed his malnutrition, the portal did the same thing for Danny.

(granted i forgot about malnutrition and danny's likely stunted growth at first -- his family lived in crime alley and despite both his parents working, I don't think they had enough food all the time. He probably wasn't as badly malnourished as Jason was, but he wasn't healthy either.)

Granted his ghost in its "natural" state (14) is short, and his growth spurts were slow at first, it did result in him reaching his dad's height. There were points where it just happened overnight, like a baby. He went to bed one night 5’6 and woke up the next day 5’10.

Jazz is shorter than him. Although I have't decided if she's even liminal at all (and if she is, it didn't cure everything because she would have also suffered childhood malnutrition, and since in au canon their parents didn't get their hands on physical ectoplasm until after they got to Amity Park. So the exposure is less.)

-

Danny's voice absolutely sounds like canon Dan's. It kinda just dropped one day when he was 16-17 and never went back up. Sam and Tucker sometimes ask him to just talk about anything because they find his voice soothing.

I'm not sure yet how Danny would feel about it at first considering Rath, but I imagine that Rath, when he did speak, would have had a quieter and scratchier/weaker voice considering he's spent the last decade shrieking and crying.

(and i suppose technically that shouldn't have any effect on his throat considering he's a ghost and idk if that would actually affect him, but i like the idea so im keeping it)

In the beginning you could hear him from a mile away by the sound of his loud, echoing wails, but ten years later you can only really hear him by the soft, shuddering sobs he makes. Like he's gasping for air that isn't there. The future is full of very quiet survivors.

And it's much easier to speak when you pitch your voice upwards (especially when whispering/speaking quietly) so he might've spoken in a higher, airy pitch in order to be heard. So Danny might actually find a comfort in having a lower voice.

always hate seeing posts about stubborn heros refusing to use mobility aids or take pain relievers and how it makes them stronger or aren't they so tough and stubborn or whatever the excuse is this time. for me it always feels like its enforcing the idea that a hero is weak for it or its something to be ashamed about needing. or its played as a joke and its people making being disabled/having chronic pain be a fucking punchline

#and it always looks so suspicious especially in a fandom thats famous for how it treats oracle's disability #where the only time it comes up is for plot point or to announce shes disabled technically instead of having her be disabled. #give dick knee braces. let bruce need the back support/a cane. give tim burn scars. #show pain killers without it being a big stigma or something to be ashamed about. #the way ppl write chronic pain and disability is always so..insulting. im not weak because i need aids. im not weak for needing medication #im strong because i know i need it so i use it despite assholes judgement or comments and because it lets me live my life #this goes for all comics but yknow my exposure and experience and all and that it just came from seeing such a ridiculous babs panel #crypt callings

Lottie Matthews: *a teenage girl stuck in the middle of the wilderness, stranded with other teenage girls and two boys and a coach, all traumatized and simply wanting to go home, starving, struggling with guilt and her own mind, trying to find comfort in whatever she can---which ends up being a supernatural force, some of the girl's cling to it, because it's provides comfort, while others turn against her because it's too far out of the realm of belief even though she stabbed a bear through the skull and fed them from it, but in the end she's just a teenage girl placed on a pedestal that she didn't ask for but took it because it would help her friends, only for years later said pedestal she didn't ask for causes her to be seen as a pariah amongst the same girls that she survived the wilderness with.*

Some people: Lottie is most definitely the villain of the series! Look how she's tearing the girls apart and making them the worst versions of themselves! She's just crazy, and none of this is even real. I'm glad Shauna--

#lottie yellowjackets #lottie matthews #yellowjackets #shauna shipman #can you tell that i love her? her taissa & shauna are the best girls! #and this isnt me saying necessarily that the girls specifically shauna are wrong for being creeped out by it #but the way some in the fandom treat lottie as the aggressor in every little thing when she's simply struggling as well #like shauna's dream of her stealing her baby was exactly that-a dream. while lottie was hovering a bit to close and not giving her space sh #e wasn't actively plotting to harm the baby #she was doing her best to help and stepped away when she realized that she needed to leave #i also won't get into how some in fandom use...a lot of rhetoric that can borderline reach being ableist (ive seen it since day one when #the scene of lottie looking for her meds came out & people were already calling her all sorts of names #some of the girls believe in this stuff some dont #they dont know what the audience knows #tw use of the word crazy #dont get me started on people wishing physical harm on her for literally doing nothing (even after it was revealed it was lottie #sacrificing herself so that shauna can let out her anger and trauma) #long post

what they don’t tell you about college is that you’re going to be aging at a rate of about three years for every one earth year

#I get out of bed and it’s just crack crunch pop ow #parties are mentioned and I go no I must be retired to my home by 10pm #I look back at freshman jess with all her freshman drama and mental health issues and I’m like…who was she #freshman year jess: ‘how come all the upperclassmen treat us like children??? we’re all in college!!!!’ #supersenior jess: mm. mmhm. I see now. I understand. it’s because freshmen are babies

it makes me so sad how debbie grew up being relentlessly bullied by everyone at school and being friendless and lonely, then she got older and made bad decisions to cope with said loneliness however those decisions just led to even more loneliness as her family started to turn on her, then by the end of her story she’s back to being that lonely, abandoned, tormented little girl.

#i literally can’t think of a word for how debbie was treated in season 11 other than ‘bullying’ #they were constantly talking shit about her and making fun of her #+ lip humiliated her by calling her a bad mom #and not to mention sandy bringing up one of the most traumatic parts of debbie’s life and using it against her #like barely anyone was nice to debbie in the last season #even the fandom was just straight up mean #lip and ian especially piss me off like she’s your LITTLE SISTER. YOU LOVE HER. SHE LOOKED UP TO YOU BOTH #especially ian #she literally is the reason your ass got married 6 months ago watch your fucking mouth #‘we all hate debbie’ please shut the fuck up #shameless #debbie gallagher

You're so close to making me start watching ugly betty but I seriously can't take another just implied love story 😭😭😭😭

It is sooo good but technically yes it is just implied. I think it is HEAVILY implied to the point of not actually being just implied BUT we do not actually get on-screen confirmation between the two leads. (There are some spoilers here that have probably already been spoiled for you if you've seen the gifsets I've reblogged.) We get Daniel's mom telling him and telling Betty (separately) that he's in love with her, and then Daniel goes after her, but we never get more than him asking her to dinner and her saying yes! And I think that should be illegal!!! Especially because there are MULTIPLE versions of Ugly Betty in different countries and languages and in EVERY SINGLE OTHER VERSION, they get together in canon and get married. I really truly do believe that they were setting up Daniel and Betty from the start, especially on rewatches, because there is just soo much stuff throughout the show. They found out they got canceled I believe halfway through shooting season 4 so that changed everything, and I've seen some people say him asking her to dinner in the last scene is platonic because they didn't build up a love story enough. But I don't agree! I have seen it since the pilot! And they definitely kicked it up a notch for the last half of the last season. He threw a fit when she tried to take someone else as a date to her sister's wedding and he spent the WHOLE night dancing with her and gazing lovingly at her and telling her how beautiful she looked! And I'm sorry but why would they have his mother tell both of them he has feelings for her, show him writing a whole public letter to the editor about changing your life for someone important to you, leaving the magazine he's spent the entire show clutching onto, and then following her to a different continent if they meant it all PLATONICALLY??? It does not make sense just from a writing perspective. In conclusion, they're canon and the haters can pry them from my cold, dead hands.

#ugly betty #daniel/betty #but yes i see why you'd be hesitant lmao #i just go a tiny bit feral on this subject #THEY SHOULD'VE GIVEN US A REAL KISS AND NOT A HALLUCINATION #also when betty's knocked out and having a fever dream she's a bad person #and one of her bad traits is SPECIFICALLY how she's treating daniel #as in they're sleeping together and she broke his heart #now WHY would they include that if i'm not supposed to draw conclusions???? #and when she gets her braces off we get a long look at HIS reaction specifically #i'm just saying!!!! they set it up to be canon and it's not MY fault people don't get it

if it makes you feel better, that body language book is complete nonsense and you should ignore everything it says. it's all pseudo-science pushed on insecure women. literally burn it to heat your home, at least then it'll have some use.

She actually talks a lot about the inherent sexism and racism in a lot of body language interpretation and verbal cuing and how women and people of color are judged a lot more unfairly in professional environments, and throws in loads of caveats about cultural and personal contexts. It’s not like one of those TikTok channels or the TV show “Lie To Me” it’s more like, “So. You Don’t Know What To Do With Your Hands During Presentations And Job Interviews. Here’s What we observed by interviewing a bunch of employers, conducting a bunch of mock interviews, and reviewing a bunch of TED talk footage and other effective public speakers.” It's not like "X number of blinks mean you're lying." It’s really a bunch of basic, common sense stuff like “actually face people when you talk to them” and “add notes telling yourself to breathe at certain points in your presentation if you tend to get nervous and rush.” And there’s a lot of emphasis on doing what feels comfortable and natural to you. My wish is that she’d talk about the ableism in employers and body language as well, more. I mean obviously we do need to be critical in any behavioral studies but like, people do conduct behavioral studies.

#also arguably recognizing *how* we interpret body language can help us be more conscientious in how we communicate with others #like there's this patron at my work who's a very nervous woman with a very high voice that's like... very sensorily grating to me #And *I* have to be conscious of how that's affecting me and not let that affect how I treat her compared to other patrons #Because obviously she can't control it! #I'd love to find a book on code-switching next so if anyone has recommendations I'd be very interested #also she talks a lot about the nixon-kennedy debates in one chapter which I LOVE #because it really shows how this advancement in technology had this incredible impact on politics and how we perceive people #and if you look at how Zoom has shifted communication it's true! New technologies call for their own specific etiquettes!

the lack of healthy boundaries some swifties have is legitimately concerning... it goes beyond parasocial relationships discourse and becomes a matter of basic decency

#just saw someone say that clearly her ed was clearly resurfacing when ylm was written and that it was wrong of fans to ignore that #or idk maybe some of us prefer to treat her with some RESPECT and let her mind her own PERSONAL PRIVATE BUSINESS #how on earth would going 'hey she looks too thin i think she's struggling with her ed and also her relationship' have helped anyone at all #i can't believe how many times 'don't fucking speculate on someone else's eating disorder' has to be said in this fandom it's shameful #talking #taylor swift #eating disorder cw #ed cw

i always think I'm not THAT possessive over My Things. after all, I'll always willing to let people (roommates and friends) borrow my stuff, after all!

and then an Item of mine unexpectedly disappears and i start freaking out

#roommate accidentally took my laptop charger instead of her own #since they're the same kind so they look the same #and when i noticed it wasn't there i started panicking #especially since the way i treat my laptop charger is way different than how she treats her charger #I'm VERY particular about it and how it's used #and when i say panicking i really mean it. heart racing hands shaking the whole deal #when i texted roommate and she didn't answer immediately i ended up calling her since i knew she wasn't in class at the moment #i Needed to know where the CHARGER WAS-- #anyway yeah. #for the record i am not saying this is a Good thing. in fact I'd say that being this attached to physical objects might even be Not Good

oomf right honestly drawing faves and ocs like ponies is fun :3. pretty slay for a first attempt i think

#youd think i wouldve drawn a pony at least once in my life since i enjoyed mlp/equestria girls as a kid & yet... <- avoided horses artwise #honestly still very ehhhh abt how much i should share since its a game related chara from my datesim im working on >_< but hey #whatever ig. i can reblog it to the gamedev account later. or delete as well. who cares yknow #pre-game treat ig whatever still need to figure out proportions.. think i will draw more of the dateables n not post those tho #-w- maybe i should add em to my commission options. idk its kinda fun. what its like to be cringe and free ig #my art #ocs #not using anymore tags than that for the reasons listed above heh -w- but i fink he'd be a lil earth pony... #no clue as to a cutiemark yet. perhaps cooking or kindness related. let me go look at the carebears for a minute #but yea... maybe something to do with bravery or being sturdy... or heart related since his name has a valentine pun #-w- he wouldve been such good friends with fluttershy. and perhaps he would like rainbow. shes so similar to his younger sister #so i think in turn he'd view her in the same exasperated but fond vein or whatever. anyways back to the canvas for me #<- one of the few ways i regain my sanity in the midst of solodev work and commissions

i mean on the one hand i don’t really care if a woman wants to explain concepts in her own vernacular and make it pink and sparkly or w/e, and im not going to play respectability politics or say that women leaning into stereotypically feminine things is bad for feminism, but im also not going to argue that it doesn’t feel infantilizing and tone-deaf to explain a movie “for the girls [who are] ~too pretty~ to sit in a movie theatre” and compare war crimes to makeup and shopping. it feels very much “boy movie vs girl movie”. + no one is out here dumbing things down “for the guys” and comparing bombings to working out or something

#which i think we would all agree is a distasteful thing to do #like idk aren’t you guys tired of being talked to this way #im all for reclaiming femininity and stereotypes but calling women too conceited to watch a boys movie even as satire just isn’t cool #and im not saying she’s responsible for men treating us and perceiving us the way they do. i get that men see us as shallow and stupid #regardless of what we say or do #but to repeat it unironically is just tasteless #on purpose or not she’s just parroting what men have been saying about us for years #and playing into stereotypes that all women know how to do is shop and look pretty and wear pink #doesn’t feel very hashtag girlboss to me #neon talks #misogyny
