#they pulled a complete 180

[joeey-dee]

Started an Arrow Season three re-watch, haven't seen it since that first time years ago, ten minutes into the first episode I already wrote a big rant, had to stop mid episode it is just so wrong on so many levels.

I tried to go in with an open mind but the first five minutes already pissed me off so much...

Like Oliver telling Felicity she should've bought him a bed instead of a fern because he's been living in the Foundry the past five months... so, I imagined the bed he and Sara slept in while they were staying at the Foundry in Season two... I must have, right? And Oliver having lived there since Felicity butted into his family affairs even after he told her not to and ruined the relationship between Moira and her children and Oliver and Thea. And with that forced him out of his home and into the Foundry. Oliver's pretty much lived in the Foundry and slept in the bed he had there since 2.13 Heir to the Demon... Just saying...

Not even gonna start on the stupid, unrealistic Oliver is completely broke storyline....

Anyway, I might post the actual rant at some point, or not. We'll see. The bed thing just gets me so mad, there's no reason or point to it. He had a bed in the Foundry in Season two, he was not sleeping on the floor. Where did that bed go? A bed doesn't just go poof...

#arrow season3 rant #arrow season 3 #why is this so bad #they pulled a complete 180 #nothing makes sense anymore #arrow s3e01 #he already had a freaking bed #oliver was not sleeping on the floor #consistency is a thing you know and pretty important #oliver queen #arrow #i'm in a weird mood today #ranting #oliver queen and the disappearing bed

Ruby: Yeaaaah, The Doctor just constantly trauma dumped on me starting from the day we met

Yasmin Khan, who has finally been convinced to come back to companion support group after finding out that The Doctor settled down with a family 48 hours after leaving her: I have to leave

#everything can be made about 13 and yaz if you try hard enough #doctor who #ruby sunday #yaz khan #yasmin khan #thasmin #sort of #char.txt #edit: let the record show that this isnt me actually hating on this #as like a writing thing- litterally just the way it was delivered v clunkly but i think its an interesting character choice #and i think its funny and insane that the doctor is pulling a complete 180 after being 13

his ass does NOT need the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#pizza tower #the noise #peppino spaghetti #he was just chilling having a panic attack bc of the horrors and immediately when the noise comes onto the scene he pulls a full 180 #into complete rage #its how the noise helps :heart:

[clairenatural]

I either move back home across the country or to an entirely different continent there is no longer an in between

#i love my job i love my friends i am mostly content in my life here but im ITCHY #feels Wrong feels like a costume that won't quite zip closed #i want to either be home with my mom forever or a complete 180 change #is this what your mid 20s is #pulled in two directions. closer and further from home

[neurotypical-sonic]

soulbond /neg au. both sonic and eggman have the mentality of "I dont need [the red string of fate] I am ignoring it fuck you universe you cant control me" but in completely different ways. with sonic its genuine, he doesnt like it but hes accepted it (now) and even though he doesnt like to think about it he acknowledges it. its there, ugh, dont exactly love that, but whatever. he's Living His Life reguardless. it doesnt mean anything unless he says it does, and he says it doesnt

eggman is OBSESSIVE with how much he Doesnt Care that he has a soulbond. his whole life revolves around proving fate wrong. his entire being is NOT connected to that blue rat FUCK you, in fact heres how much he doesnt care about it!! [obsesses over sonic and destroying him]

#this has been in my drafts FOREVER and I can't word it right #im still putting together the world building and back story #this is something theyve both struggled with and still absolutely struggle with #its just that NOW [current game timeline] sonic is. for the most part. normal about it #eggman gets worse as time gets on #they both pulled a complete 180 lmao #all of this is subject to change #egg.txt #sonic #eggman #sonic&eggman #soulbond au #soulbind au

TBH as a writer appreciating the set-up of a character I ADORE Vivienne but her lack of proper character arc & the inability to argue with her more is as infuriating as with most of your companions in DAI, if not more when you play a Mage because you CAN’T grab her by the shoulders and shake her and say Ma’am if you’d had worse luck and wound up literally anywhere other than the Circle you did wind up at you would be a fundamentally different person please for Maker’s sake admit out loud that you only like the Circles because you managed to etch yourself some limited social power out of the broken and corrupt system you might not otherwise have been able to get for yourself and therefore you have not suffered the true effects of it!!!!

#not to mention real world issues with her being one of the VERY FEW important POC but I'm too white to discuss that well #just want it mentioned that I am aware of that #She's SO interesting I'm rotating her in my mind but I want to DRAG her to the fucking gallows circa pre-Hawke's rise to champiion!!!!! #I want to drag her to Kinloch and have her look the innocent children the Templars wanted to murder in the EYES #and tell them they deserve this for the crime of being born #She is SUCH a product of Chantry fearmongering and brainwashing it's so fascinating!! #Also the fact that her little story revolves around her lover and only her lover? bite bite bite maim kill BAD WRITERS >:( #/SHE/ should've got the Tranquil plot line. The realization that those people are lobotomized for profit and no actual REAL reasons #This is CANNON the Tranquil exist to FUND the circle and also because the chantry would rather fearmonger than teach to control magic #Like I don't expect her to pull a complete 180 on the Chantry and Circles but for fucks sake give me A LITTLE GROWTH PLEASE #She's the same bad bitch (affectionate) that she was in the beginning at the end! Just a little more politically powerful! It's SO BORING! #IDK. She could've been the divine that bans the practice of tranquility or something. #But bioware want us to forget the tranquil because they make their mage vs templar '''grey''' OBJECTIVELY AND CLEARLY NOT GREY #anyways the way DAI /WASTES/ its most interesting character concepts makes me SO mad and she's the biggest example imo #She & Sera PISS ME OFF with their wasted potential #tagging for my blog's sorting system not here to be a dick #dai #dragon age

it’s a good time to have a creative streak (semester’s about to start and i won’t have any freetime to actually do anything about it)

[Image description: a collection of four digital drawings of the same person against a white background. They have brown skin, red eyes, and curly hair worn in a fluffy ponytail. Their hair is dyed in two-tone and is black on one half and white on the other. They are wearing a set of gold earrings and a matching necklace that have the symbol of a circle with three short prongs. In the first picture, their whole body is visible, and they are wearing a seafoam green tunic with loose elbow-length sleeves and loose, dark grey-green pants. They are wearing one black sock and their other foot is bare. Under the tunic, they are wearing an asymmetrical black top that leaves one collarbone visible. They are smiling with their eyes closed and a seafoam green speech bubble with a heart is drawn next to them. In the next two pictures they are wearing the same outfit, one of them drawn in profile from the shoulders up with a serious expression, and one from the waist up where they look confused. The fourth image is a full body drawing where they are wearing a seafoam green tank top with the three-pronged circle on the chest and loose pants with a big, loose grey-green sweater that is slipping off their shoulders. They are still wearing only one sock and are looking off to the side with a mischievous smile. End description.]

#decided to redesign a bunch of old ocs so here's some concepts i did #this is orchid they're an angel and they really really like angler fish #not sure if this is their final but i do like it #also realized one of the reasons i didn't want to draw was bc i hate doing lineart so i pulled a complete 180 with my approach #and i'm doing lineless now which is actually way faster and easier? i was so scared of it before but i was surprised how much easier it is #it also made doing digital doodles easier since i don't have to worry about all those layers and making everything exact #bc you can just draw over it! so now i can actually do outfit concepts in color bc before i did them in pencil #art #oc #digital art #character design

i think like. what also gets me about the way that adam & michael's dynamic is portrayed in the show is the fact that, so often, in the face of toxic familial dynamics, the focus tends to be on the child and the ways in which they are able to break the cycle of generational abuse. i can't think of another example where the piece of media actually deconstructs generational abuse in a way that puts the focus on both the parent and the child and allows both to grow and overcome, in this case, the toxic masculinity that permeates their relationship and get to a point where a resolution is not only possible but heavily signalled by the narrative itself ( in this case the writing has been on the wall since s3 that the show is gearing up for a resolution between these two. i am thrilled that it's happening but it's also not a big surprise and is one of the s4 storylines that has been easiest to predict ).

if a child has a shitty parent the story is often about how they escape/overcome/grow from that trauma and find a family of their own, not necessarily blood-related. but it just thrills me so much to see a story where it's not just adam who is allowed to process his generational trauma, but we are given an insight into michael and where that generational trauma comes from. michael gets to open up to jean about his own brother and father during a therapy session, he gets to discover cooking as something that brings him genuine joy in his life and he gets to stand up to his brother about the bullying that he faced as a child. i just looove this storyline so so much and it's the one that i probably have the most faith in the writers in terms of pulling off a conclusion.

#* / be yourself. everyone else is taken ( ooc. ) #* / character study ( adam groff. ) #i don't think anyone but ace will Get Me when it comes to this post lmao but #it's impressive that the show managed to do a complete 180 on adam and make him one of the fan favourite characters #but it's even more impressive that they pull off a 180 on michael too who is very much the 'antagonist' of the first two seasons #ugh i just #i love this show soooo fucking much can you tell ?? lmao #even if certain aspects and storylines (looking at you otis & maeve) disappoint me in s4 #there's still so much to appreciate about the way that this show writes their characters

the hero falls timeline is genuinely so stupid. what if game overs were canon but only for one game.

Right like it would be fine to have little split off like that for any other series but like. There was already a really cool reason that there were two timelines that is entirely explained in canon but it just gets ignored and treated like an "ending a" vs "ending b" scenario.

#which is partly why I do appreciate botw deciding to pull a complete 180 on the acknowledgement of continuity #because if they had actually been serious about it like it seemed they were gonna be when skyward sword came out #then I'd have to live in a world where the hero falls timeline is something i have to take seriously

i know that spn has always been inconsistent when it comes to power levels but i think it's so genuinely funny how they accidentally made michael ridiculously fucking powerful in 15x08. like RIDICULOUSLY ridiculously fucking powerful. the stupidly complex spell required to open the door to purgatory that even raphael apparently needed to get in there? no need for that boring shit! michael can do it with a single goddamn snap of his fingers! in handcuffs specifically designed to restrict the abilities of angels. the handcuffs that literally restricted the entirety of au!michael's power while he was in dean. his true vessel. he couldn't do a thing in those handcuffs. but no here comes michael waltzing up in just some guy from minnesota and opening a door to PURGATORY with a snap of his fingers. shit that even another archangel couldn't pull off. in the fucking handcuffs. GIRL.

#chuck was weakened during 15x08 i genuinely think that michael could've taken him. if he'd known where he was #like raphael couldn't pull that shit lucifer and gabriel never even attempted to pull that shit #and that was when they were all at FULL POWER. michael's power was literally being RESTRICTED and he OPENED A DOOR TO PURGATORY #one that lasted for SO much longer than the door in s6 #it actually kind of irritates me because it just kind of highlights how badly 15x19 nerfed him #like 15x19 was just horrible in general but nothing about it makes any sort of rational sense #if you don't look at it through the eye of michael grieving adam. regardless of shipping or whatever like that's still. his friend!!!! #and there is no reason lucifer should've gotten the upper hand like he did in that 'fight' if not for the fact that michael was like. #completely and utterly out of it #like the fluctuation in power just doesn't make sense (same with the 180 with michael's motivations from the beginning to the end of the #episode) unless it's about michael being in such mourning that it affects his ability to do literally everything #he OPENED a DOOR to PURGATORY with his POWER being SUPPRESSED in a VESSEL that's supposed to be WEAKER than his TRUE VESSEL. #i am grabbing you by the shoulders and staring directly into your eyes. think about that in the context of s6 for a minute. how raphael #didn't even come CLOSE to that level of power. it's so. grrrhrhgrhrrg #kate rambles #michael

#so like #this has been bothering me for years now and i have to get it out now #but i don't want it to really be /out/ there so im just gonna ramble in the tags for a sec #but im so confused as to how ppl will look at my art style and ask me #hey can you do me a commission in [insert style that is a complete 180 from what i draw]? #and i just sit there thinking to myself #where did you get this connection from? #why do you think i'm capable of pulling off this style when i have posted nothing that would even remotely resemble the style that you want #are other artists just better than i am? #am i missing something? should i be able to draw like that despite my love for my current style? #i want to be angry but i know i cant be bc i don't have all of the info #well maybe angry is a bit much more like upset #bc it pulls my confidence down into the gutter #AND ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT #everybody thats seen my art is always like hey can you draw something cuter/simpler/more like this style #and i just have to sit there and stew in my own depression bc no??? i literally cannot???? why would you ask me this???? #idk im giving up on being a marketable artist #im just gonna sit here and draw my stuff #im not too pressed to publish anything anymore bc its just not what ppl like #and im starting to become ok with that #but man it sucks bc i like sharing ideas #but interaction is next to nothing so i feel like im just wasting time #this isn't directed at anyone specific just me pointing out the patterns of my life from grade school to adulthood #tag rambling #i had to get it out im sorry its just been getting too much lately and cant keep shit in anymore #so fuck it lol

thoughts on atmosphere in the portal series

#portal 1 is small-scale and self-contained and the environment is designed accordingly. #the entire game takes place within the walls of the facility (w the exception of the outdoor ending cutscene) and while you're inside #the most open spaces you get are the industrial guts of aperture in the escape sequence #so portal 1's environmental horror comes from the oppressive prison-like chambers and the empty surveillance rooms built into the walls #portal 2 trades the claustrophobia in for megalophobia. perfect fucking 180 #to match the larger scale of the story it pulls back the walls of portal 1's aperture and gives you this #this impossibly #terrifyingly vast facility #portal 2 aperture is unfathomably fucking big #the bottomless pits and the bits of machinery stretching out into the fucking distance #the environmental horror is done in the complete opposite direction but it achieves the same effect #you feel trapped and out of place no matter how big yr chambers are this time around #so impressed by how much the setting does for the story fuck me man

Finished Desolation Island this morning and I’m so pleasantly surprised and delighted by how nice the ending was. At least, within the context of the series and it’s characters

#hey wow this is a lot more like master and commander’s ending in terms of tone #the comparative lack of stephen suffering this book was lovely #I sincerely loved the little friendship between stephen and mrs wogan #loved that dynamic so much #in terms of how horrible I was expecting things to be this book I expected too high lol #it was just a lovely ending! #the next book is gonna completely 180 on me here though #anyways #aubreyad #it took me so long to finish.. I’ve been so. so. busy… #trying to budget around union fees is also… aaaaaahhh #but I’m so glad I had so much fun with this book #only note: Tom Pullings wasn’t in all of it #I know why from a narrative perspective (it would have been a much shorter book lol) #but also hey! that’s my boy! #ALSO FINALLY! FINALLY A NERD VACATION FOR STEPHEN! #also loved bonden and stephen watching the whalers leave and the rudder go up - it was just NICE. #sometimes we CAN have nice things in this household!
