no girl tell us what you think about jegulily!! im so here for it (tone is weird but I mean that genuinely, I don't ship them so I'm not here to be weird)

dw bae ur tone is fine ! (i’ve been waiting for an ask like this 💀) i think jegulily is... yeah its…. like usually as long as its legal idgaf as long as shippers portray their characters right but regulus fans are literally incapable 😭🙏 WHY WOULD U PAIR A MUGGLEBORN AND A BLOOD SUPREMACIST IM SO DONE WITH DIS FANDOMMMM!! that actually goes for a lot of lily ships like bartylily as well (no clue where that came from either but it’s equally as stupid lmfao).

and jegulily just feels like shoving in lily because people feel bad for ditching her, or shoving in regulus because some people like jily and jegulus and want them (for some reason) to coincide even though it makes zeroooo sense for it to. like, idk if i said this with jegulus before (i yap sm on this account i forget what i say), but like it, jegulily can be done well if a realistic dynamic is taken into account, but the marauders fandom is allergic to nuance and so just chalks up everything regulus does and believes to his neglectful homelife. hes not all-bad, sure, i do feel bad for him, but im nowhere close to shipping him with a woman whos part of the people hes trying to eradicate, or with her man who purposefully went against all pureblood tradition (which is such a large part of james’ character— he is a pureblood that chooses to be seperate from that culture hellooooo plz wake uppppp).

marauders fandom has a chronic “i can fix him” mentality when it comes to wizard neo nazis, i have never understood it. but thats a topic for another day.

jegulily should be filled with envy, toxicity and prejudice stop nerfing it to be some fluffy feel-good polyamorous stable marriage where they raise harry together. yall are looking over the potential. this ship has blood and guts in it plz act like it or else idk what to say 😭 if it doesnt end with at least one of them getting murdered i dont want it.

#imho ​it just feels willfully ignorant of all three characters to ship them #this goes with most the regulus ships tbh except like bartylus. bcuz barty is just terrible too LOL #just characterise ur characters right people. not to majority fanon interpretation but to who they are CANONLY #you may think its less fun but to me. that’s honestly what makes those three so appealing #+its generally important to understand the media u consume. and yes. that means harry potter as a book series if ur in the marauders fandom #u are not seperate from the hp books if u are attached to its characters (no matter how far youve spun their personalities away) #on a seperate note people are allowed to ship what they want and im being lowkey serious when i say im not gonna find someone weird if they- #-ship something as long as its legal #maybe some jegulily people follow me so let me just say i dont hate the shippers i just heavily dislike the ship 😭 #worse than jegulus but somehow less annoying idk how to explain it #harry potter #hp #marauders #marauders era #anti jegulus #anti jegulily #lily evans #jily #pro jily #james potter #lily potter #regulus black #anti regulus black #the marauders era #the marauders #ask #anon #rewriting #tyyyy anon for the ask i luv to yap 🫶🫶

I love it when they do this. I really do.

I've been thinking about how you've made Talas' physique even MORE powerful lately. And now I'm just imagining him, one-armed, chucking Graves like the world's angriest javelin at their common enemies.

That's genuinely so in character that I had to draw it. Average hunting tactic... and Graves would be all too excited for it, honestly

#in all seriousness honestly im really glad !! This is kind of what i always imagined talas would actually look like :] #i just wasnt confident enough to draw him like that initially but little by little ive gotten better at conveying his body type properly #and i genuinely want him to come across as strong as hell even besides the fact that hes big. like i wanna convey it in shape too #he literally kills huge sea monsters for a living as a day job and then kills the other people who hunt those monsters for fun #and hes banned from walking into any tavern unless he drops his whole paycheck at the counter as soon as he enters #he should simply look the part so im trying my best for that. i have to do him justice #anyway thank u i hope u enjoy this too. i was gonna draw graves just being chucked on their own but then i drew the harpoon #and i thought it was so hilarious to have them on that instead than chucked like a football (which would also happen) #but in said case they'd be less excited about it #if u read all of this also props to you heres a present. its fish (slaps you in the face with it) #windyart #ask #anon #scribble comic #talas #graves #challenger deep

I. Hurt.

And I was hurting anyway, I'm pretty down this morning, but this hurt came from an outside source, and affected me in a way I'd honestly not have expected.

See, we bought Nimona last week. After seeing the movie, my kids wanted to read it. And I ended up reading ahead, and I just finished it.

Bonus content at the end, it said, and I was like, oh, an epilogue to the epilogue maybe? That'd be nice. I don't love bittersweet endings, I'd rather...

...no, it's not the conclusion.

It's CHRISTMAS.

In a book that'd had no religion that I noticed up to that point, BOTH bonus extras...were Christmas.

Ya know, usually it doesn't bother me. Usually I just suck it up. I think it helps that I was raised around mostly Jews and people who, if Christian, it didn't matter much to them. I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the descendent of Lower East Side immigrants, and while the world outside was brutal - my grandfather was a World War 2 veteran and among the soldiers who liberated Dachau, I can't remember a time when I didn't know that most people would look the other way if people like me were slaughtered wholesale - my bubble was safe, we were accepted, we were insiders.

I honestly can't think of another time I've interacted with a piece of media and felt so immediately, instantly knocked across the face by OUTSIDER as I just did when I excitedly turned the page to see what these fun extra bonuses were...and it was fucking Christmas.

I didn't even read them.

I'm honestly. So disappointed.

I don't have a thick armor for this kind of hurt. I'm Jewish, and as an adult living outside my old UWS bubble, that's often meant I've felt like an outlier, but I've hardly ever had this feeling where I was welcome to something only to be suddenly, violently shoved out the door.

And I've heard nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. but praise for this book. And on another day, it might not have bothered me. I've never really felt like I had to fight to be seen, especially since I'm tremendously secular. I mean, I've celebrated Christmas my entire life, for starters.

But why. Why was this fantasy setting suddenly Christian? Why was this the touted extra content? Why is THIS special, when the areligious world established to that point was apparently not special enough?

I can't say yet if this ruined the story for me. It's far too soon. But I'm *intensely*, viscerally let down, and...I hurt.

Christians...maybe stop doing this shit.

#unforth rambles #im not sure how to tag this #i dont want to tag fandom since its kinda anti #and i dont want to tag antisemitism cause its not really #and i dont want to tag microaggressions cause thatll just show my privilege that ive been lucky enough to not have this feeling more often #but seriously WHAT THE FUCK #im genuinely considering rereading just so i can see if it was always christian and i just missed it until then #because its so fucking ubiquitous that it slides right off #but i dont think it was!!! #WHYS IT GOTTA BE CHRISTIAN WHAT THE HELL #and why have i never heard this mentioned surely im not the only person to notice this #maybe it was less jarring for people who rwad along with the webcomic #since these were extras released along thw qay #not shoved in the back of the book like in the print edition #i dont fucking know #i just know i hate it #this special fun thing could have been anything #and instead it was for one specific segment of the audience #and thats honestly so unnecessary and kinda yicky #dont you guys every get tired of making everything about your fucking dumb holidays you stole from other cultures #give me back passover i demand you turn over easter as a reparation

ookay fine yes maybe I saw a yonderland out of context video and watched the first episode what about it.

#cant get over 'doesnt seem very impressive' 'trevor youre a BLOB' #so yes im obsessed with the weird gay guy ben willbond plays. the elder. #i literally just watched episode one no spoilers #like i thought i understood vaguely what its about and i watched the out of context vid #and had LESS of an idea what its about #anyway 'cant i just call you elf' '... bit racist.' made me CHOKE #the absolute out of pocket-ness... insanity #idk where the name 'the six idiots' came from but #new hyperfixation alert? perhaps #just. the way its an ensemble of people playing a rotating cast is very fun #i like it. the theater of it is very good #very ofmd honestly #i like my tv shows to not take themselves seriously and be absolutely absurd #but with a deep sadness and melancholic triumph of the human spirit and kindness if you think about it for more than 8 seconds #thats my kind of tv #ANYWAY #yonderland #sigh #jennie watches yonderland

I have a problem.

Further evidence:

#me: I avoid drawing racesuits bcs they're too complicated and I don't really know how to draw them. #Also me: constantly draws one of the most overcomplicated designs ever #and i also am constantly in the depths of researching 18th century clothing #atp maybe i just have zero interest in race suits #(tbf it's honestly less the level of detail. but more all the sponsor names and lack of freedom in drawing them) #(yknow one solid design that you cant really deviate from. i dont have a lot of interest in drawing that type of thing) #(but i will do it for chibis! much more simple) #also there was chibis ive drawn as well but they dont fit #ive mostly draw peak era vettonso cause duh #but ig id really like to draw matador versions of all their eras i think that would be a lot of fun #its fun to put these in a gif together #see how ive evolved at both drawing matadors but also painting #but god i still think i really like that renault one the best...... #its just tough to beat. and its crazy cause i went into that w just. zero experience #and ive leveled up since then but it has this energy i enjoy so much and i just rly love how i drew his face ah... #but do tell me if you so wish which one you like best?? #catie.rambling.txt #matador au #catie.art.

What’s your favorite transformer media/transformer to draw? 😊

well. geewun probably.

ive always been very fond of chunky super robot style mecha. and well. g1 gives me the excuse to draw em holding hands. and stuff.

ive been on a marvel kick as well so ive really been hankering to draw more of those guys. ive been thinking a lot about (making shit up about) the geewun wreckers a lot. as well.

umm . well . i really like drawing in the tfa style, even if i dont ...actually like the show all that much.

euuum lets see. i guess botwise....megatron...thundercracker is really fun. ultra magnus. prowl. trailbreaker. umm. impactor. i like big old dudes. ppl i can give really strong profiles. grr. but drawing robots in general is just fun anyway

#well ive been drawing a lot of ocs lately. triage. (guy i havent posted yet) fans rise up #honestly i want to talk about geewun stuff more bc i feel like im bugging my pals w it half the time. eep. #oh i also drew some tfp stuff recently despite not liking that show. or its style. i had fun unfortunately. #gave em noses. made em less skinny. yeah brother. #etc etc #thanks for le ask le anon #g1

anyway, i think my hot take regarding the whole canon vs fanon thing for the dpxdc fandom is that fanon is fine but it also gets boring. there's a reason why 90% of the dpxdc creative content feels exactly the same. i'm not trying to like,, shit on anyone's work, but so many of these fics are very, very similar in plot and dynamics. and that's a product of the fact that most of the fandom doesn't actually know anything about dc.

if you're relying solely on fandom osmosis to learn about the characters and events, then you end up missing out on a lot. it's not Bad, but it's basically the footnotes. the sparknotes. the starred review compared to the actual book. you aren't getting a lot, is what i'm saying. and that's why so much of the content feels exactly the same! it's because everyone is getting their info from the same decade old jokes. so creative work ends up blending into each other because the creators don't actually have anything else to work with (because they don't Know anything else) so they rely on the same five fanon jokes and headcanons that they do know.

as a dc fan, i Do encourage dpxdc fans to look into dc and read the comics and be more active on the dc side of things, not because fanon is inherently Bad, but because it opens up so many more avenues for creativity. i'd love to see people talk about danny fighting evil vampire nightwing or going on missions with karen or having fun with kara. but most dp fans don't even know characters outside of the most popular 10 and know even less about any of the plots or universes. so like, it's not exactly a surprise that every fic sounds the same. and like. does that not get boring to you guys?

#i'm sorry ik some of this sounds mean but its true aldghk #its not a bad thing but it is a noticeable thing #and im sure there are plenty of dp fans who are still having fun and dont mind this #but im sure there are also some dp fans who'd also like some variety #and that variety could be there! if you guys knew more about dc #there are so many characters! so many universes! so much you can do! #stop fighting about canon vs fanon and have fun with how much dc content there is!! #you don't have to read Everything but it definitely helps to read Some things #you'll get more ideas! more aus! more headcanons! more over the top jokes! #dc has SO much content for you to explore!!! why wouldnt you want to take advantage of that? #like you'll literally never run out of content to explore because there's just So much and they keep making more of it #even old forgotten characters get brought back every now and then #like! have fun with the canon that's there! and you'll be able to have more fun with your fanon!!! #dcxdp #im sorry but i really dont think ill ever be able to understand Why dp fans dont want to engage with canon dc content #its weird to me it truly is and i dont think anyone will change my mind honestly #ive seen all the replies and vague posts about it but it usually just amounts to #'we dont care about canon and we just want to have fun' which like. yeah. sure. but like.. #are you saying you would have Less fun if you knew more about dc? #like.. #if you genuinely like these characters then you would like their runs?? 😭 huh ??? #it doesnt make sense to me! i dont get it! if you like them why would you have less fun reading about them!! #what!! #anyway yeah my hot take is that you should engage with the source material because it actually makes things More fun #why have dp fans convinced themselves that theyll hate dc canon i dont get it #its like reverse stockholm syndrome

Shawl 11 | Yarn 1 | Yarn 2 | Pattern

I kinda forgot this project existed for a bit. But it's a lot easier on my injury than my other, larger projects so I'm happy to have found it again.

This is more of a Process Knit than a Product Knit so I wasn't really fussed about how I couldn't figure out a good way to make clean edges on brioche. However I kinda stumbled into a much better way than what I was doing before (which was like, slipping the first stitch purlwise and then immediately jumping into brioching even when it meant knitting/purling into the same stitch under it).

Instead! I'm always slipping the first stitch purlwise. Then the next two stitches are treated like kinda like double knitting (if it's a colour A dominate row, I'd slip the first stitch [colour A] purlwise, bring my yarn to the front and slip the second stitch [colour B] with yarn in front, then bring the yarn to the back and knit the third stitch before bringing it forward again to s1yo. For colour B on that row I would slip the first stitch [A] purlwise, slip the second stitch [B] purlwise like another selvedge stitch, keep the yarn behind and slip the third stitch [A] before bringing the yarn to the front to being briocheing with brp1). Probably not the most efficient way but I could NOT get my tension to work for those first couple stitches, this instantly looks better (the red marks on the second and third images point to about where I started doing this method instead of winging it).

#knitting #knitblr #wip #knit brioche #project: shawl 11 #we're renovating our back porch/sunroom and i wanted to knit out there because it's suddenly very nice #and it just happens this project is wayyy more portable than anything else lmao so i picked it up again #the notes on how i'm doing the edges are really for me its enough for me to remember how to do it #if i cared more/had more energy i would frog this whole thing so the edges are less ugly #but honestly it's just fun to knit. at least some of the ugliness will block out. reknitting it would not be fun. #i love my coral looking ass shawl <3 brioche is so much fun #i should finally knit the brioche blanket i own yarn for but i just gotta. do other projects. #when will i spontaneously grow two more sets of arms so i can knit twice as much #i also purposefully picked the uglier side to show the difference in how the edges look #the other edge of the shawl looks like. not great but not awful. but the Drama of the Uglier bit #ugly with full affection lol i love when things are fucked up looking. my favourite gender.

anyway. i think i am going to order a pizza from my favorite pizza place. i think i deserve it today

#im gonna try to stop doomposting now outside of like. reblogs on my main or something #because weirdly i think the less that i externalize my current thoughts the easier it'll be to get my brain to chill the fuck out #but honestly i've been planning to order that pizza since like noon. this is just a good excuse if anything #other than that they have free delivery today for some reason #if its good enough i'll work on more ebony stuff. dont need to rush quite as much now. so i guess i can do more ideas #it'll at least calm me down enough to think more rationally. it's been really fun to work on. that son of a bitch #i'll figure out what to do with it when i'm done idk. pizza time not think time
