#so it's good to be clearer

tbh as an israeli, i was so embarrassed that they put the flags there and i wish they didn’t do that. I don’t support that at all.

❤ and that's why YOU are my people, not those flag wavers- it's definitely my identity as a Jew that makes me extra outspoken about this issue in particular because like you say I feel personally embarrassed on behalf of my kin, and a responsibility by association to speak out against the israeli state's genocide. And it's made so much worse by the way people think israel= all jewish culture, or that to be anti-Israel is anti-semitism which, as @captainrayzizuniverse pointed out in tags (YES! well said and thank you!! you are also my people❤), is a tactic of zionist propaganda used to shut down criticism of the Israeli state. I think anon meant well and wants to keep an eye out for anti-semitism during this terrible time of its rise everywhere and I appreciate that! But that's why it's important to talk loudly and constantly about the fact that taking a stand against anti-semitism does not have to include defending the Israeli state- and indeed to be broadly anti-racist, one must call out Israel's colonization and genocide in Palestine

#I can't cover hundreds of years of history here but I will briefly reference (and encourage people to read about it more) #the fact that zionism and a lot of zionist propaganda has always come from goyim colonists who wanted to carve out space in the middle east #and have used our struggling people and exploited us at our most vulnerable times in order to realize that #NOT erasing the complicity of the jewish people ESPECIALLY in today- but follow the money #we were originally just fucking pawns as usual and to this day a lot of goy colonizer gov'ts #are a big part of that propaganda wing and it REALLY isn't because they love or support jewish people #and anon has a point too in that *I* know what I mean; but some people are just straight up anti semitic #so it's good to be clearer #blah blah blah #sorry not really what yall are at this blog for but anons manged to poke me in a Special Interest whoopsy #also you know: important #israel discussion #free palestine

aziraphale literally just realized his feelings for crowley and proceeds to spend the rest of the night planning a batshit insane magical act involving said love of his life shooting him on stage. he’s very normal

#makes the whole gay attitude much clearer too. like he’s so HAPPY he’s in love #until of course furfur arrives #i think that’s when he’s like. oh yeah this can never happen. time to bottle up #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands

old doodle, dialogue from the game but i added some stuff in the end just for harriet and kim wheezes

#also i know i call her harriet but i still think she goes by harry #i just call her that to differentiate and make it clearer that im talking about her and not just harry pftt #harriet du bois #fem kim kitsuragi #sunnysidedisco #sunnysidedoodles #disco femlysium #genderbend #<- blacklisting purposes #described #id in alt text #also im not sure if harrier is like a unisex name. but if it i think that would also still be her name. #i think when evrart tries to get you on their good side by telling you personal info. theyd mistake her name 'harry' to + #be a shorter version of harriet #im so sleepy am i making any sense fdgdhjk

fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.

dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.

but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).

like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?

#remi rambles #fionna and cake #f&c spoilers #sorry i have many Not Silly thoughts about the finale #i looove fionna she was such a wonderful character .. so well written and real TO ME #shes my best friend shes my everything shes silly she makes me so emotional #like even when simon told her he was gonna wear the crown to get the magic back to her world #< the moment she realized he would go crazy she started to think about it #like she wont sacrifice a friend just to get what she really wants #i really loved her journey through the show idk #going from being so over her routine > finding out magic can be dark too > making her own magical world just by loving her friends #like its so much more than 'the power of friendship will save us!!' #yes she saved the world thanks to the love she had for her friends but it was backed up by a full journey beforehand #i think. the line about having functional toilets (while still being a p good joke) makes the point so much clearer #we have been to the end of the universe and back but we have functioning toilets !!! #like do u get it. do i sound crazy #< crazy person voice #anyway yes im done sorry #live laugh love fionna and cake

Little (mostly) Cecil doodle page, cause brain images are wierd.

#wtnv cecil #wtnv fanart #wtnv #wtnv carlos #carlos the scientist #cecil palmer #honestly might go back and color this #also good news im nearly caught up which is kinda terrefing cause ive only been listening for a month? idk #cacil never looks old enough when i draw him i feel like #i also kinda wanna stray from the most common fandom interpretation (which i still dont think im the best at) #carlos is somehow much easier to draw since my brain picture of him is clearer #also i realized when i picture charakters they mostly have black hair which might just be because of how i see images in there #brains are wierd tho so who knows #i also need to get wierder with those outfits honestly

In political spheres, I so often want to ask, "is what you're doing 'punching up,' or are they just an easily-available, acceptable target?"

#politics #because i find that it's oftentimes... not punching up #so often i see 'punching up' as 'whoever i can sink my claws into without being chastised' #and i think it's a fundamentally reactionary mindset to think 'who can i attack without recourse?' #it isn't punching up to the patriarchy to exclude and chastise trans men* for example... #...and too often people hyperfocus on the 'how does it make ME look?' to do this rather than on... #...who would be affected by their actions and what they advocate for... #...maybe it wouldn't make somebody look bad to say that trans men* for instance should be ran out of every space because it's 'punching up' #...but how exactly would that affect the marginalized group (being trans men*)... #....anyway that's an example i've seen (and experienced) of this in case it makes it clearer... #...no this isn't solely about trans men* and no this isn't saying that only trans men* are affected by this... #...it's something a lot of marginalized people both experience and may even perpetuate on individual levels... #...because it often feels GOOD to 'punch up'. you're told that it's 'showing them what's what' and maybe sometimes that's the case... #...but i've seen it too often where somebody is actively damaging a marginalized person/group as a means of 'punching up' #and that's why i ask... okay is this punching up or is it an attempt to gain control in a powerless situation through any means necessary?

#detective conan #case closed #episode 174 #heiji hattori #shinichi kudo #conan edogawa #my gifs #long post #okay so remastered versions of episodes 174-218 came out on netflix japan the other day #and one of the *first* things i wanted to gif was this scene #it is a scene of all time #i've said it a million times #but the way that they disagree? and aren't nasty to each other about it? #the way that they challenge each other? #so good #and the stuff with the darkness and the moon is *so* aesthetic #and credit goes to hex for noticing that conan shifts into shinichi in the dark in the fourth gif here!!!! #i had watched this scene a million times but had *never* noticed that before!! #it's super hard to see in earlier releases of this episode but the remaster made it a lot clearer! #and it's just making me lose my mind!!!! that shinchi is himself in the dark... #that for maybe just a moment heiji sees his friend as he truly is... #agaghagahgahghga then i *really* wanted to gif this #the manga has shinichi in the background for that bit but an actual *transition* between shinichi and conan is so much more interesting #agh. anyway. i don't think i did this moment the best justice but gosh. scenes of all time

Going crazy over Frollo's expressions in the scene where the soldier interrupts Hellfire.

like they animated his face and everything but in all the videos I've seen it's all blurry or non-exist at all because of the poor quality .

This is on our smart TV on disney plus, and ohmahgash his expressions are agshfjkf

#And the fire in the bg is so good #excuse me while I stare at this old man again #I wish there was a pencil test version of this so I could see it clearer #Judge Claude Frollo #disney #THoND #the hunchback of notre dame #rmf speaks

Biggest folley of Motley and why it got so difficult for me to write was because I kept getting so caught up on trying to represent every aspect of their stories all at once anytime there were on screen, when really I need to remember that they are in fact Just Little Guys

#aaah. the difficulty of writing ocs youve had since middle school #to me they are at the end of their story. but to you ..... they are just random characters by a stranger on tha internet #i need to break them down to their core essentials again ..... work backwards #first few chapters are gonna get some minor edits to the art and dialogue #but i have a clearer view of what the next few chapters will be #glad i paused for a few weeks to work on far out (which is also looking super good. i love jane and galactica. theyre so funny) #its nice to make new characters fron scratch #the first few motley chapters are gonna get punched up and future ones will be overall funnier #kept trying to make it serious but it needs to be funny. otherwise this shit is gonna get depressing real quick lol

going further. franks child self was living in that one room with a strange weirdo boy he dreamed up but never really had. now his inner child isn’t alone anymore. he plays games with his real charlie in their terrible one room apartment. getting weird with it and being okay with being weird no matter what everyone on the outside might think. sharing a bed together to feel the comfort in being close to that

macs child self had charlie the whole time. inseparable. a package deal. the most genuine connection and comfort in both of their neglected tiny lives. not just because they were otherwise alone. decades later theyre not going anywhere. now their inner child rides bikes together they throw rocks at trains together they teach each other about the world just like they needed so desperately in old times

dennis’ child self never had charlie. not until highschool. but that was exactly when he experienced his csa. his inner child found charlie at the exact right moment. caught him when he fell. he got his child self back through charlie just as he lost feeling. and now what do the two of them do together? they go recreate memories and recapture lost youth with a mutual unspoken understanding of why

they all need charlie. relaxing into his genuine youthful energy lets them feel that way again.

#iasip #charlie kelly #:) the first one is the ‘playing together in this room all day’ from the last post i wanted to make it clearer #i wrote a part about dee but i decided its better to reblog with comment instead of one post #because this feels so good to me. so nice to think about him being uplifting. but not possible to ignore the darker aspects of his childhood #give you options #delicate. #im trying to be cautious #but you cant talk about the gang without dee and you cant talk about child selves without trauma. its not Honest not Authentic not Genuine #it does feel sad its kinda tough to touch on it. delicate yk yk #but she seeks charlies natural lack of ambition and a brother who doesnt push her to prop himself up #dees brother fought her and charlies sisters fought him. both cases about superiority. dee fights back charlie ignores #csa warning #kid selves #frank reynolds #bc theres no attention paid to him

I may be reworking my brink fashion history post and using it for a writing scholarship application… this’ll be interesting for sure.

#rambling #on the brink of scientific discovery #listen it’s already mostly written all I need to do is edit it and make a clearer source list and it’s probably good #Said scholarship deadline is also like… tomorrow #So I’m zooming

"It's powerful, it's visceral, it's dark, it's like a Shakespearean tragedy. There’s no Arya — a character everybody's going to love. They're all flawed. They're all human. They do good things. They do bad things. They're driven by lust for power, jealousy, old wounds — just like human beings. Just like I wrote them."

Seeing people debate which grey characters can still be considered "morally good" and somehow Arya never makes the list, so it's the perfect time to bring back this quote from George which shows exactly how he views her character 🫶🏾

#arya stark #asoiaf #george rr martin #it truly couldn't be clearer that he cheats with making her a grey character by having all of her killings be justified but then he #comes outright and says she's different then characters who're flawed + going to do bad things at times 🤷🏾‍♀️ #but then he actually acknowledges her trauma and the things she's been through so that really isn't shocking #ultimately fandom is a very small portion of the fanbase and how they perceive her character doesn't matter #I'd much rather have the same opinions of a character as the author...good thing George is an Arya stan to the core 🤭 #if we ever get TWOW people are going to realize their obsession with /purity/ has nothing to do with what George is writing #cause it's obvious people come to these conclusions based on their personal feelings instead of the actual story #the way Arya stans get called delusional for having the same views on Arya as George does...peak comedy #people always want to debate her greyness without looking at the context of her actions which defeats the whole purpose

The conflict between Nat and the girls was inevitable. The fact that the wilderness “chose her” is just another part of a continuing theme: It doesn’t matter if the mystical is real or not. The girls make it real in order to process their horrific reality.

Everyone’s already gone into how Jackie symbolized the old, normal world and how she died because of that. She had to die because she could not adapt to the level of hardship and violence required while stranded in the wild. The others have adapted by turning to rituals and the occult. They’re traumatized, starving teenagers who have never had to navigate anything like this sort of violence and stress before.

Except for Nat.

Obviously she wasn’t a cannibal before all this. But she had lived with violence, survived under harsh conditions, and seen death up close. For the others to be mentally able to survive this they need to separate their current selves from their old lives. That’s the appeal of Lottie’s rituals and faith. Of the cult. They lose their personhood because the trauma is simply too great. They’re still the same people, but none of the girls as they currently stand would be able to recognize themselves pre-crash.

Except for Nat. She’s a subtle uncomfortable reminder to the girls that they do, in fact, still have agency and morals. Even under the current stress. She feels responsible, and it reminds them of their own personal responsibility. Which isn’t compatible with their current mentality of survival, the new form of civilization they’re trying to create.

It’s not just that Javi died instead of Nat. It’s that Nat had to let Javi die, even though she tried to reach him at first. It’s the worst guilt she’s felt so far, and morally it brings her one step closer down to the others (In their eyes, at least. I’m not trying to morally condemn any of them but I do think they see Nat as Different from the rest and it subconsciously unsettles them.). It’s enough to break her, and enough to satisfy them.

For now at least.

#yellowjackets #natalie scatorccio #she continues to be the most interesting character to me sorry #the humanity and lack of denial being fundamentally incompatible with the wilderness the girls are currently worshipping #the foiling with jackie getting clearer even after she died #and the contrast between how much they love her and how her existence refuses to let them deny the horror entirely #it's so good
