“entrapta joined the horde so she deserved—”

no. no one deserves to be dehumanized. no one deserves to be put on a leash and dragged around. no one deserves to be mistreated just because they happen to function differently from people around them.

i bet y'all wouldn't be saying the same thing if catra was the one treated this way.

#it's crazy how people excuse ableism in entrapta's case #someone who built weapons for the horde but was never directly involved in the war #then accuse us for being ableist when we criticize catra #someone who attempted mass genocide and killed at least one person in her lifetime #makes total sense #spop critical #spop salt #spop criticism #spop discourse #spop #she ra #anti spop #entrapta #anti perfuma #ableism tw

John Lennon: *adds several titles of Paul's love songs to his own love song about starting over with someone you've loved for a long time*

I haven't seen people talking about this, so I will. I just absolutely adore the fact that Crowley's idea of falling in love is "two people under the rain together". Like, the first time they met there was a meteor shower (which resembles rain) or at the garden of Eden or Noah's arc. Idk maybe I'm being crazy here but... Coincidence? I tHinK nOt!

There are a lot of musical/visual choices that I do like in Arcane. The one that I actually find distinctly lackluster though -- (to the effect that the choice serves its purpose well enough, but could have been vastly more inspired in the broad scheme of things) -- is the Conceptualize Mythical Reptiles band cameo in episode 5.

In the same episode, the example of Piltovan musical culture that we're shown is a theatrical concerto performance, drawing clearly upon associations that we as the audience have toward "opera" and "classical music" to communicate that this is what's considered 'high-brow' art among the Piltovan elite. (Which is extra tongue-in-cheek considering that the only character we actually see genuinely enjoying the performance, rather than simply making an appearance in this space and using it as an opportunity to schmooze with other members of high society, is Heimerdinger.) The consumption of this performance is treated as more of an upper class circlejerk than a reflection of any love or appreciation for the craft.

So then, shortly after, we get a Zaunite musical performance.

Which, in theory, is cool. If the goal was to contrast the Zaunite and Piltovan musical cultures against each other -- (and that was the effect by virtue of showcasing the two performances in the same episode, whether intended or not) -- I'd have expected to be shown an undercity performance that was much harsher, less polished, more aggressive in its sound style and lyrical commentary, etc. than its Piltovan counterpart. I'd have expected something punky, grungy, and/or singer-songwriter-y, very 'voice of the people' in spirit -- maybe with some sick jazz or swing influences to go along with the overall nouveau styling + 'New Orleans-y' feel of the undercity.

Instead though, the example we get -- (the thing that stands as a supposed counter/answer to the musical culture of Piltover) -- comes in the form of Conceptualize Mythical Reptiles, and a song that quite frankly is about as easily-digestible, radio-friendly, and non-challenging as possible; regardless of whether you like the piece itself or not.

I simply think that it leaves a bit to be desired.

TLDR; am I surprised or inherently disappointed that a band who collaborated musically with Riot in the past and composed the theme song subsequently received an in-series cameo--? No; of course not. But do those facts alone actually make Conceptualize Mythical Reptiles the most thematically suited for serving as the literal face(s) of the undercity's musical scene--? Also no. Of course not.

#Arcane #and on today's episode of 'Levi being a grumpy old hater'... #preemptive note that I mean as kindly as possible: I do not CARE if you like Conceptualize Mythical Reptiles and their music #just because they were a natural choice for a lil cameo like this doesn't mean that it was actually a compelling thematic fit #what I'm saying is: from a META perspective I get it completely #makes total sense #but from an IN-UNIVERSE perspective it's a toothless choice #they're about as challenging to the establishment as potato soup #Arcane meta

Naturally, i was curious as to why. FB's answer to "why am i seeing this ad?" was

Ah yes. I like coffee, therefore i *checks notes* am into MLM bondage.

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

Headcanon that all spider people get what’s called the “Spider-Zoomies” (which is a sudden burst of energy but it’s expressed through Spider-like behavior) except for Miguel because he didn’t get bitten, so every time he makes the mistake of going to HQ in the middle of the night, he gets jump scared by at least one Spider-Man:

Scuttling across the ceiling (Pavitr)

Hissing into the void (Miles)

Bench pressing a building (Peter B)

Jumping fifty feet into the air without warning (Margo)

Building some intricate contraption in complete darkness (Hobie, emphasis on trap)

Running extremely fast without making a sound so you don’t know they’re there until it’s too late (wtf Mayday)

Or crouching into a corner, completely still like a predator watching its prey, and the moment he gets close to them, they whisper “Hey” making him scream so loud that he throws his empanadas in their face (Gwen)

It’s essentially like you’re walking through a building full of eldritch horrors, and you don’t know where any of them are, but they all know exactly where you are, and they win bonus points if they scare the shit out of you. Miguel hates it here.

my favorite piece of avatar lore i’ve ever learned is that piandao apparently also deserted the Fire Nation military, but instead of going on the run he just. went back the Fire Nation. built a fucking mansion about it. and then when the army sent 100 guys to arrest him, he kicked the shit out of them so hard they just fucked off forever.

jeong jeong is out there in a hut in the woods living his most bitter life meanwhile piandao is sitting in his palatial estate sipping tea, fully daring the fire lord to fuck around and find out. bad bitch behavior

#a:tla #atla #piandao #he RADIATED bde every time he was on screen so this makes total sense #but also makes jeong jeong SO much funnier as a character lmao
