ok so i haven't watched housemd since i was a kid and just finished s1 and i am just. why is cameron written like that. genuinely her thing with house had me so completely lost this season. feels like a waste of a great actress but?? maybe I'm wrong?? she just feels so. empty as a character to me. regardless i would love to know what your opinion is on the character bc from what i remember it doesn't get better from here

I dont blame you ban-joey and I really appreciate your courage to send this off anon. We probably have the same experience. I watched house as a kid too (when I was 14, like 10 yrs ago) and hated her for being contrarian and inconsistent and in the way. But since then i’ve looked inward and found i was imposing double standards wrought by internalized misogyny. Anyway.

My opinions on cameron:

Number 1, if i were her i would shoot my shot with house too. excuse me. as if most of us on here are not just twenny… thirty somethings pining after old men. happily going on a monster truck date? getting a date in return for the old man to have me back on my team? Yeah. I respect the hustle. fuck that old man or whatever. marry him when he’s sick. phantom thread him

Number 2, liking Cameron is easy once you accept. That she is really really really not normal. I know this may be something you already know. But internalize it. She says something righteous but it doesnt mean that that is her defining trait. There is something so deeply wrong with her. I know you’re still on season 1 and Yes she Gets Worse but if you are working with the same lens as i am (that there’s something WRONG with her) then everything that happens makes sense. [spoilers] Of course youre only attracted to people when they’re sick and dying. Of course your reaction to being told youre boring is getting high on your patient’s drugs a few weeks away from your HIV test results. Of course you wanted to cheat on your dying husband with his best friend who comforted you while your husband was dying but you didn’t and you still haven’t after the fact he died. Of course you kept your dead husband’s sperm. Of course you wanted to kill a dictator but didnt, and then got pissed at your husband who Did kill him, a husband you actually felt nothing for and was hesitant to even let propose to you [/end spoilers] she’s so funny. If she were a guy they’d call her a messy bitch and love her for it. she has uncategorizable mental illnesses masking as a savior complex.

Number 3, you’re right about the emptiness on some level though. They wanted to write her out of the show and they did her so bad. And I’d say yeah she’s inconsistent as a character, but that goes for Everyone in this show. House isn’t consistent. Wilson isn’t consistent. None of them are consistent. Cameron is only as well-written as the writer who knows how to write her. I’ve suspected the only reason i hated her when I was 14 was she got in the way of hilson. But nowadays that stuff is so unserious to me. All i care about now is messy people being messy about other people

Number 4, she compels me. I like that she’s interesting. I don’t like most of her decisions, I disagree with her the most, but it’s interesting. She’s fun to Watch. She’s no Foreman (that guy is a case study in layers of character depth but that’s for another ramble) but that’s more than i can say for her than someone like, say, Chase LMAO

That being said if you dont like cameron then that’s fine 👍 we live in a society etc etc

I end with this (thank you jackie for putting this image on my feed)

Y'all I admitted to my dad last night that I run this Byler blog bc unfortunately it was relevant to my OCD and trauma in a roundabout way, and he was like, "I'm not surprised honestly, I've noticed that you take their relationship extremely seriously" ??? 😭😭😭 And then he asked me if I was obsessed with Byler, or if I hyperfixate on their relationship and use it as an emotional support or a coping mechanism and I couldn't say no 💀 💀 💀

in regards to the constant dismissal of his aroace identity, i hate it when alastor 'fans' say and use the excuse: "he's fictional, he won't get offended."

like, you're right, but it can and will offend us.

when you see yourself being represented on screen, of course you'd feel enthusiastic about it — representation allows individuals to see themselves reflected in the media they consume, validating their identities and experiences. but when so many people take that representation and decide to disregard and discard it, it is so fucking frustrating. we finally have another character to be part of the tiny amount of representation we have, but then people don't even care about how much it means to us? like yeah, alastor won't get offended because he's not real, but it frustrates and annoys us. do you realize that it's also technically invalidating the aroace community? that you're invalidating our feelings? imagine feeling like you're finally being seen because your orientation is finally being represented in media, and people just decide to blatantly ignore, discard, and invalidate it.

media has such a powerful influence on real life, representation being a prevalent factor of it. there are numerous posts that dictate how people went to watch a movie/show or read a book just because a character depicts their identity in it — obviously, being represented is an incredibly uplifting and validating experience.

which is why seeing an aroace character in a popular show is so meaningful to us because we live in a world where romance and sex are literally everywhere and prioritized above all else. (and it's pretty obvious that alastor's on the repulsed end of the spectrum, but even if he wasn't, at least make an effort to acknowledge his sexuality instead of continuing to portray him as allo; aroace folks can be in relationships but it's not going to be the same thing with allos' experiences.)

any and every representation matters, but why does that seem to stop at people under the aroace spectrum? like y'all can't even let us appreciate the scraps of representation we have. we barely have any, so are we really that dramatic for being upset at how people easily disregard and dismiss our identities that are being depicted on screen just like that? is it truly wrong of us to want to defend and maintain the little representation we have?

#like imagine if i asked you ab your fav character and then i said i hated them and proceeded to insult them #wouldn't that irritate you even just a bit and maybe even come to their defense? #like why would you be offended when they're not even real lmaoo #they're fictional and won't get offended but if you love that character then YOU might feel offended and maybe even defend them #ok now take that situation and put it into this context #except it's much more meaningful bc it's about representation #just a random thought #i'm not against shipping him or finding him attractive (bc same LMAO) or the fanart btw #i just hate it when people use bs excuses to justify their obvious dismissal & indifference towards aro/ace rep #like at least acknowledge his identity :(( #sorry for the long ass rant and if some parts don't make sense i'm not in the best mood rn lol #and i've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while #didn't know double standards were a thing when it came to representation.... #but here we are #alastor #aroace alastor #aroace #asexual #aromantic #asexuality #aromanticism #arospec #aspec #alastor hazbin hotel #aromantic alastor #asexual alastor #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #aroacespec #queer

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!

I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.

#fe three houses #ferdinand von aegir #discord emotes #i thought long and hard about this bc idk the actual want for emotes i made ages ago but #i still love my son and its his bday ad so i should be nice and share #since i no longer have nitro and can no longer use them myself #the fact i can technically post 30 at once was tempting but #some of them arent living up to my standards and also just might not be easy to use in most contexts #so those im gonna skip on lol #whoever wants 21 aegirglyphics tho have at em #i think i might have posted some before? but only 10 and i dont recall which ones #if you want a secret the last three and the middle on the second row are my favorites to use #i used concernednand (the upper one) so much #the internet concerns me guys it was a valid use every time #debated sharing heartnand but honestly the world could benefit from it imo because gotta spread that love #fun lil trivia i love making emotes and so when i was in a server and people knew me as the ferdinand fan and artist #someone was like why hasnt salmon made a ferdinand emote yet #and im like bc i dont run the server and i cant just demand they add my art #and then a mod was like i didnt wanna put pressure on salmon but i thought about it so i was like bet #and then drew a server exclusive happy ferdinand emote #and that was the start of me somehow being able to have like.... ten emotes in that server #some of them were just me joking and then mods encouraging me #cause i used to use felix for every single art prompt theyd give and one week someone said the prompt was pog #and i just was so upset because dude why would i wanna draw felix for that hes not pog #so a mod was like hey if you make a pog felix emote we ill add it to the emotes here #so i once again was like bet and then posted it and then they really added it lmao #anyway sorry for so many rambles please feel free to use them on discord in whatever server #i cant really expect everyone to credit me but also im not really concerned since i fear people know my nands a mile away

When I was in DC visiting college friends who are all very smart people with very well-to-do jobs they started a conversation about ChatGPT and concluded it by agreeing in earnest that they think AI is actually really useful and a great tool for things such as WRITING ONE’S WEDDING VOWS because otherwise it’s “too hard to come up with what to say.” When I tell you I nearly keeled over on the spot…

#if my partner told me they were using ChatGPT to write out wedding vows I’d call off the engagement on the spot I’m so serious #like at that point literally just use the standard ‘traditional’ vows (modified for the modern day) #I would sooo much rather have that than have you read vows ai wrote for you #I couldn’t post about this at the time I was too embarrassed about having ai advocates for friends LMAO #but now…well let’s just say I’m still thinking about it and I’ve gotta roast them somewhere I gotta #(dont worry i roasted them in person too lmao) #ktp

help!!! i have just discovered that wookieepedia lists day-lengths and year-lengths for a bunch of planets and that alderaan and tatooine are, of course, included. and that these day lengths and year lengths vary rather wildly from the galactic standard (aka 24 hrs / 365 days).

tatooine has a really long day - 34 hours. they have 2 suns. nights are short. it sounds like pure hell, but it makes sense. it’s also close to its suns and makes a full revolution every 304 days. checks out.

so. alderaan has a rly short day, only 18 hours. sure, i buy it. it’s got a standard year - 364 days. fine.

except the thing is that because of the way years are measured on those planets, despite luke and leia having been born literal minutes apart and being 19 standard years of age... leia is considered 25 years old on alderaan... and luke is... on tatooine... 16..................

#star wars #luke skywalker #leia organa #i am just imagining how that went #at some point in the rebel base #'oh how old are you' 'im 16' 'oh wow that's young to be a rebel pilot' 'how old are you your highness?' '25' #and then they discover that they are TWINS. imagine??? #han vc you're almost 10 years apart #luke and leia: well we WERE both born right before empire day ? #obviously they are still the same age but age is relative to society. presumably leia has passed through more milestones than luke has #anyway i have so many questions about how this even works lmao. do u just count your age in standard years or does everyone just have 2 ages #oh man this means in owk the show era leia is like 13 and luke is 8 #though leia is most certainly not acting 13 #8yo luke i buy though. baby boy. baby #jui speaks

It’s so fucked that the main source of unease I felt building up over the past several months was me feeling pressured to perform femininity to be seen as desirable to other people. It was never ever said said out loud in that space but I could FEEL it and I never knew until it was pointed out to me.

#it’s so agonizing to want to purposely appear desirable and never feeling like you’ll measure up #compared to everyone else #because of eurocentric beauty standard bullshit #like unironically a giant portion of those people in there were white/white passing/fell nearly within those lines #and it was fucking with my head so so bad. because I don’t have ‘dainty faerie like’ (heavy air quotes) facial features #a good portion of what exacerbated the problem is that I have a very good feeling that most of how those people are acting #or how they’re trying to appear physically #is them trying extremely hard to look sexually attractive to that individual #now mind you I’m sure that isn’t all of them but fuck #feels like shit too when you’re very much brushed past 80% of them time on the rare occasions you take a selfie #for the ‘pretty boy with socially favored facial features’ (even heavier air quotes here) #it’s for the best that I’m not in there anymore #some of those people were annoying as shit anyway abd a select few are on my shitlist forever. which could be an entire nother post lmao #and believe me that’s a big fuckin deal. do you know how hard it is for me to outright have vehement hatred towards people?? #im not even trying to appear all angelic and pure n shit here I just have a hard time not trying to think positively of people #something something people pleasing tendencies adjacent shit #ESPECIALLY because someone from that space went outta their way to harass my friend. as far as I’m concerned the majority is gutter trash

I should be getting paid to deal with this bullshit

#fandom lesbophobia and misogyny tied in with the PETTIEST discord drama blown so far out of proportion. dawg… #‘pls explain idk how we were lesbophobic uwu’ #idk you attacked a bunch of sapphics and said they were transphobic and biphobic which then spiraled into spreading rumors about them being #abusive and alcoholics and calling them slurs #because they made ‘I hate men’ jokes and didn’t like your dumbass m/f ships and headcanoned a character a lesbian lmfao #also because one of them was supposedly transphobic on a VC but the apparent victim doesn’t even remember it like LMFAO????? #which is crazy considering most of them are not cis and are also bi themselves lmfao #which I EXPLAINED #but it’s still ‘idk how we were lesbophobic a day misogynistic pls explain’ #I’m killing myself this is so stupid #like do you think I’m dumb. do you think I’m stupid #this is batshit #this is why I don’t do fandom discord servers yall are insaaaaaane #idk what’s worse #if this was done knowingly and we’re just playing dumb #or if we actually ARE this dumb and don’t think any of this was rooted in lesbophobia #which had been perpetuated SO hard in the more standard fandom lesbophobia and misogyny ways #not to mention the transmisogyny but I won’t get into that…. lmao #anyways #every day I wake up to more DMs and I want to SCREAM #I just wanna peacefully go into work and live my life man it is NOT my job to coddle you #because you got caught being shitty lmfao #fuck off #kaz rambles

inadvertently stopped using my freckle fade cream without thinking.... right around the time i started making gifs of felix.... coincidence?

#positive influence..... #i do wonder sometimes how jarring it must have been for he and lil chris to go from australia to korea #bc i copped shit for being pale and freckly as a kid #i have a core memory of this girl talia wearing a country bumpkin costume with these cartoonish freckles drawn on and she pointed at me #and was like Lol im jessie haha and i was like Okay so you want to fight?? #another time had to do some speech and when i finished and had questions from my classmates and two boys just asked me why i was pale #and why they could see idk i guess my bloodvessels in my legs ??? i didnt even notice like i was just like UHHHH idk ask about my topic #had so many instances like that and they werent terrible but it did make me insecure #like in the 00s here being tan was /it/ you had to be nice and tanned- go lay in the sun and ignore we are number one in melanoma deaths #like it was so consistently the thing... prob why i have so many freckles bc i didnt tan in the sun i freckled #but in both felix and chans aus photos they were quite tanned! #so imagine going from Hey go lay in the sun and get nice and brown ya pale fucker to Do Not Do That. Be pale as a ghost #white as fuck twilight vampire printer paper ass complexion or else you arent the beauty standard must have been so...... odd #idk beauty standards are so fucked and stupid #at least for me it was just like mean it wasnt like systemic. still wasnt nice but its not damaging the same way #but yeah I imagine some of the cultural differences must have been jarring and weird #like when chan said he was glad to get sex ed in australia bc it was comprehensive here and its not something i would have thought about #but yeah he went to school here and there he would know #idk must be hard to be an idol and straddle that line of not wanting to cause any ripples but having your own ideas and beliefs #oh i'd love to talk to him off the record lmao #dont take this as anti korea sentiment btw like australia is also wack #it just must be interseting and sometimes hard... #wow these tags are long SORRY

#tide of consciousness #you are all so awesome and cool and i do get emotional about the fact i still have that connection even though its literally just tumblr #i love you all so much #sometimes i lament a lack of deeper connection but just the knowledge that theres people who recognize me the same as i recognize them is #overwhelming despite its simplicity #i hope this doesnt frighten anyone off but i cant help the fact that even just this is important to me #that one post about how every connection matters and has a purpose is so right #id get more specific and name names but thats maybe a LITTLE too much ill save that level of sappy for rambling to myself only hehegh #if were mutuals especially if weve been mutuals for a long time know that i appreciate you thats all #*long time for me is like. more than half a year. this blog is still new by tumblr standards lmao

i like bad special effects. meaning not just old and outdated (which in a lot of cases were actually groundbreaking for their time, but i digress) but also low-budget or rushed or just kinda corny and poorly executed. i think it adds charm where a lot of more polished productions are lacking.

#i don't think this is a particularly hot take on this website #i think a lot of us here also appreciate special effects that are either outdated but were brilliant at the time #or are just flat-out bad by any standard but still enjoyable in a campy way #but like. when the untamed was popular on here i saw a lot of people saying like 'just ignore the bad special effects lol' #when personally i ADORED the special effects in that show #up to and including the shitty animatronic dog lmao #i think they really added something to the atmosphere and the melodrama of it all #and slicker special effects would've made it a worse show. #feels a bit more like you're watching a stage play if you can peek around the curtain in this way #which is very fitting for the sort of show it is! it's very theatrical and dramatic and everything is a big fucking deal! #and you have to make the active choice to suspend your disbelief and get invested #in the idea that this flagrantly fake dog puppet is scary #it's sort of like i'm being asked to collaborate in the story i guess? #if the sfx isn't perfect then my conscious participation is necessary to make it land #so the overall result feels more personal and meaningful because i had to commit to it

Honestly in regards to that last reblog a lot of "writing advice" (or "art advice" or w/e) on this site and elsewhere is too prescriptive. The only "rule" in art (whether it be writing or music or visual art or something else) should be to ask yourself two simple questions:

"What am I trying to achieve with this?"

and

"Am I successfully achieving it?"

Rules should be descriptive, not prescriptive. Instead of saying "don't shade with black" or "don't use too many adverbs" or "don't use a flattened fifth note" say "if you shade with black/use lots of adverbs/play a flat 5th it will have this effect, which may not necessarily be the effect you're trying to achieve." (And sometimes it is!)

If you're going to do something in art, do it intentionally.

"Oh but doing it this way is bad." Maybe it's what you're going for.

An unintentional "bad move" will probably detract from what you're trying to achieve, but an intentional one, used in the right way, can powerfully add to it.

(Of course, sometimes you don't necessarily have an end goal in mind to achieve. Sometimes art is more about the process itself, or about experimenting to see what happens. Even this rule is not a rule.)

#this is kind of pseudointellectual but whatever #might turn off 🔁s if this ends up doing numbers #anyway this is also why i hate the cyptofash statue pfps on twitter who try to act like there are objective standards for art and beauty #like no there aren't! there never were! even the gothic cathedrals you wax poetic about were reviled when they were new! #also before anyone assumes dumb shit: this is NOT about doing stuff that's actively objectively harmful to unconsenting others. #like if you're torturing a live animal on video as a form of performance art THAT'S BAD! #this post is just about stuff being ''artistically bad'' not actually morally wrong lmao 💀 #op #93

I have a little depressed man in my brain named Ryuunosuke who's inspired a lot by Tenma. And one of the earliest versions of him involved him pulling a Tenma to replace his dead son. Except it was with a whole ass pre-existing human child instead of a robot.

He's a fucked up man.

#astro boy #doctor tenma #oc #original character #Yagami Ryuunosuke (oc) #HIS LAST NAME ISN'T FROM DEATHNOTE BTW #IT'S BECAUSE OF THE JAPANESE SINGER JUNKO YAGAMI. #lmao #he's one of the main subjects of my frequent seven hour daydreams #and always I'm just screaming at him to be normal #but my daydreams are usually in third person #even if Ryuunosuke could hear me he'd be like “fuck off how dare you of all people suggest dealing with mental illness in a healthy way.” #Ryuunosuke is the punching bag of the inner world and he smells like tobacco and sulfur #you'd probably still all simp for him if he were a famous character #that's not just cause of my enormous ego ppl have shit standards including me.
