Finally posting the Talia focused animatic I have been working on, because I don't know when I'll get time to finish it and I like it too much to let it rot in my folder.

This is based on the events of Batman: Son of the Demon and the song is Wife by Mitski

I have a whole lot of thoughts on how this song reflects Talia's treatment as a character both within comics and outside of them, and how she is always treated as the mother/daughter/love interest rather than an individual in her own right. These roles are important to her but she is also more than them, she is her own person. I think it's super interesting to look at how Talia would wrestle with balancing these roles whilst also not letting them be her own defining trait.

#like yes Talia is a loyal daughter and adores Bruce and does her best for Damian and she value's herself on these things #but she also doesn't agree with her father and can't sacrifice her principles for Bruce and can't give Damian the life he deserves #she is simultaneously all these roles a woman should be but is also found failing in all of them because she is so much more than just #a mother/daughter/lover #yet she is never seen as anything more than that #the conflict between wanting to fill these roles naturally vs being forced to be these things #I could write an essay on this if I thought I'd make any sense #anyhow take my wip I hope you enjoy it #(fun fact: I showed this in all my uni interviews and I got accepted into all of them)#(thank you talia for getting me an education)#talia al ghul #bruce wayne #batman #damian wayne #dc #animatic #animation #my art

every time i see someone misinterpret jason’s death i lose my mind a little more

#apollo didnt remember what its like to be human because jason died for him it was because jason stood up for him #jason had apollos word the moment he extracted that promise out of him #like note how every time apollo mentions being human he says its to ‘stand up for what you believe in’#and the first time he actually mentioned that theme it was about jason after jason revealed he stood up for apollo at the parthenon #jasons death was because of the self fulfilling prophecy which led to him valuing this promise he got over his own life #and also because he didnt want piper to die #which itself says so much about his character! this was a fully informed choice he made because thats who jason is!#he quite literally did not have to come but because he was told he could (herophile said ‘IF you come’ note the If) he decided he would #because he wants to help! he wants to protect piper! he thinks itll solidify a promise!#it was his decision to go regardless of him dying because by not going? not helping? that goes against his principles #and he values his principles so much you dont understand #txt #jason grace

I promise you if you give people the benefit of the doubt, if you assume ignorance or misunderstanding instead of malice, if you make the effort to give and recieve clarity, if you listen to people's thoughts and explanations, you will see the world as so much less cruel than you had before. So much more loving. It's not easy, but it's so so important to do, for yourself and others

#bangles' post #this is about my dad #who last week had invalidated my chosen name as a not-real name and sought my permission to use my deadname when talking to the older gen #and today sat down with me to talk about my chosen name and what it means to me. he really sought to understand why i chose it #and he then not only apologised for misunderstanding the value of my name and for invalidating it #but also explicitly reassured me that im allowed to tell him if hes wrong #which is huge for him. hes never invited correction on something lile this before - something that he feels is a matter of principle #ie chosing a name with importance and meaning and serious intent #hes not perfect. he still holds dated beliefs that he hasnt truly examined or even allowed himself to question.#hes never been particularly emotional available or even very present in my daily life #but he is trying. and he does want to be better #and if both of us had given eachother the benefit of the doubt we could have had a much better conversation about my name #but still. talking about now its clear that he does genuiningly want whats best for me. he just needs to know that #im taling myself seriously enough that the ways he tries to help will actually be helpful #im rambling. anyway #give people the benefit of the doubt. i promise its worth it

A silly question

Daily writing promptWhat is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.View all responses There are some questions I am asked from time to time that, while seemingly innocuous, can sometimes feel reductive and miss the mark. One that comes up surprisingly often is, especially from people older than me, “Why are you Buddhist if your parents are Catholic and you weren’t born in Asia?” While I…

biggest gripe is when they don’t include kuukou’s kindness in writing even tho it’s as integral to his character as his brattiness

#vee queued to fill the void #i’m not going to beef with the stage play again nobody wants to see that lol #like when you make kuukou’s attitude the main focus of conflict i get it genuinely!!!! it is an ongoing source of conflict for him #and the easiest route to write down if you don’t want to challenge kuukou who is incredibly self actualised #kuukou will be his own hype man acting like he’s the hottest shit lmao but he knows and readily admits he’s still weak and has growing to do #that mindset isn’t the easiest to challenge (esp in bat vs mtr play where the story rightfully had other things to focus on)#so rolling back his development unfortunately makes sense lol #but removing kuukou’s kindness makes no sense to me actually lol esp since it undermines all the work he’s put into his religion #i’ve said it once i’ll say it again: you don’t get as far as kuukou has in his ascetic training without understanding the core values lol!!!#wisdom and compassion!!!!! wisdom and compassion!!!!!!#the unami chapter puts him in a tough spot because even tho he’s in the right it wasn’t necessarily the correct answer to the problem #and he had to grapple with ichiro’s hands being tied due to the bigger picture and trying to help unami blindly without the whole story #which is exactly how you need to challenge him lol his principles are right but life isn’t fcking easy lol!!!!#the brain’s about to start vomiting about kuukou’s life cycles and that needs to be a whole other post so lemme not lol #but kuukou’s adventures start because he sees a boy in trouble and wants to help #and kuukou wants to be able to look at his life when it ends and say he did good he lived it to its fullest and he wasn’t ashamed of it #and some of that impact gets taken away when you remove his kindness 😤#c: kuukou👑

one thing about me is, i'll always always always value creativity and experimental ideas and stories and new structure-breaking narratives above established "commonly valued" creations, even if the creative idea's execution is less than ideal, even if the established story is "perfect and spotless". Like, i literally dont care, unconventional and paculiar and unexpected works of art are infinitely more valuable to me whether in subpar execution state or in perfect structure. If you did it differently and did it your way your creation will always be more important to me than any predictable and "proper" narrative made in complete and utter obedience of well reinforced explicit and implicit rules. "this is very well made in all the technicalities look at all these clean details—" catch me give a fuck. It's cliche, repetitive, it's boring, i dont care. We live in a time where obedience of known metrics seemingly ranks higher than any form of outside-the-box creativity and i'm done with it. Say something new, say something personal, say something earnest and paculiar and weird or i'm out of this theater.

#in semi continuous of the same notes; if you look up in the dictionary the definition of madness is me asking for feedback on my writing #from people who are knee deep in traditional structures and have not tried a single new imagery in their entire life #like babygirl they wont love you!!!! by definition they're looking at you from a place of dismay because you're going #against their ingrained value; you're undermining the predictable known forms they love so dearly!!!!#there's no way someone like that can offer any kind of coherent and geniune feedback on your work because –hear me out–#THEY DONT FUCKING VALUE WHAT YOU DO #like their baseline attitude is ''i couldn't care less if what you created didn't exist it's irrelevant to me'' THAT'S NOT A PERSON #WHO'S GONNA HELP YOU HONE YOUR CRAFT THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR CRAFT #''i dont like poetry but–'' ''i dont write in this style but–'' ''i dont read these kinda stuff but–'' the conversation is over.#there's no buts. by the principle of being outside the framework you do not have the level of appreciation expertise and nuance it takes #to offer valuable and applicable feedback and your take may be fun but it's irrelevant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#also another form of the barely disguised disdain is ''your creation will only be valuable if it's executed to utter perfection'' and no.#everyday i wake up and see mediocre people #celebrating utterly bland and boring mediocre writing like it's the last day of their fucking lives.#i'll not be held to standards of ''perfect performance'' just because you dont have the balls #to say that you dont enjoy and have no appreciation for creativity and experimental efforts #''it needs to be better'' is just a polite way of saying #''i dont love this but i feel bad about it so i'll trick you and myself into thinking i'll love it if it's done faultless''#there's no stage in which an effort in creativity will be faultless to you because the fault #to you #IS the creativity and deviation from the norms.#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#anyway good morning in this house we have absolutely zero value for bland cliche stereotypical generic things 🌸✨️#on art #on writing

I was briefly mistaken to think I liked someone I didn't know at all.

Having feelings for you is allowed for Gong-Chan but not for Kim-Dong Gu because that's what it means to be him.

often i do start to wonder if im being annoying with my massive rambles abt ocs or ninjago or whatever, but then i try to look at my actions as if i was someone else, i think;

well theyre not hurting anyone, it´s clear they´re having fun with their silly little posts and are passionate about their interests, if i saw someone posting like this i´d at least give a like bc i love seeing people be happy, and who knows, maybe those ´´silly little blorbos´´ in your rambles could be interesting to someone

i know ive brainrotted the same way abt people´s ocs as i have for established characters in series, might as well put in my 2 cents as well

so i´ll continue posting my ´´cringe´´ i think :) <3

#lifes too short to worry about cringe i think #peace and love everyone <3 #also live by that principle that it´s infinitely better to make a niche and genuine post that gets 3 notes #than making a post about stuff you barely care about; or having ´vanilla takes´ that get hundreds or thousands of notes #the 3 notes hold so much more value; likes and views and clout are all a scam!!!#dont sacrifice anything for them <3 #shut up sheo

Helping Others Is More Than Just a Career

Daily writing promptWhat is your career plan?View all responses Traditionally, career planning has been a rigid roadmap. Choose a path, climb the ladder, and reach the pinnacle. But what if your purpose isn’t confined by a single career title? This is especially true when your passion lies in helping others grow and reach their full potential. You’re right. When your driving force is empowering…

Principles for Navigating Life

How do you navigate life?

Do you intentionally choose how you live or do you allow others to decide for you how you will live your life?

Are you moving intentionally towards a goal or are you simply cruising with the current consistently choosing the path of least resistance?

I do not have life all figured out, but I am constantly correcting and adjusting my course. I often review my habits, take notice of how I am spending my time and energy and how I invest my precious resources (attention, focus, energy, health, etc). I hope that this post, briefly outlining how I tackle this topic, will help you navigate your life.

I have heard people claiming they are being authentic. Sadly many times it comes across more like an excuse for careless behavior. “I am just being me” can be the equivalent of “I have no idea why I did this,” or “it felt right at the moment.”

Maybe you have met people who later regret doing what felt right at the moment. I am not saying you will never regret your choices. But I do believe that with more careful thought you can significantly diminish your regrets in life.

Get a piece of paper, or a journal, or just open a note app on your phone and let’s make some lists.

What are your core values? (What do you value most at this point in your life?

Based on your core values, what does your authentic self look like?

How do you want to be remembered?

These questions are worth careful thought. I revisit questions like this about once a month. I want to live according to what I value, and if I do not ask myself this question frequently, I end up living my life according to the value of others. Your parents, your teachers, your friends, your boss, and your spouse, all have some idea of who they want you to be. Those are not necessarily bad things, but are you becoming who you believe you are meant to be or what others want you to be?

Whatever your choice is, just be aware of it, instead of mindlessly just going with the flow.

Now that you have given some thought to your core values and what your authentic self would look like, take a moment to list your top five priorities.

I wonder if I should share mine or not. I really want you to develop your own. but if you’re curious about mine I’ll list them below.

But I strongly suggest you not read mine until you have written out your top five or at least your top 3.

My current top 5 priorities in life are

God

My Wife

My Kids

My health

My ministry (career/calling)

When I list my wife and kids I mean their well-being, not that I would always do what they want. In other words, if my wife needs something, and I would rather spend my money on something else because it would be more fun for me, I would place her needs above my desires. The same goes for my kids. This does not mean I neglect my personal needs. If it ever becomes a life or death situation I am willing to die for my wife or my kids. This also means that I will not sacrifice the well-being of my wife and kids for my personal gain (career, fame, money, etc). Though I am willing to sacrifice my health for my wife and kids I am not willing to do that for my ministry. Does this make sense?

Also, I place my wife above my kids because it is better for my kids when my wife and I are together. I believe if I were to neglect my spouse for the “sake” of my kids, my kids would end up losing in the end.

The only thing in my life that outranks my wife and kids is God. Because of my faith in who God is as revealed in the Bible, I strongly believe He is worthy of all that I am and all that I have, I live for Him and everything else that is good in my life comes from Him.

This is where the rubber meats the road. Now that you have listed your priorities, with the understanding that your priorities reflect your core values, how much time and resources have you dedicated to your priorities this past week? What about this past moth?

Here is the challenge. If you claim to have certian values and priorities, but the way you invest your time and recources does not reflect those same values, you may have preferred values that are not actually real values. our daily habits and decisions reveal what our true values are. If you claim a certain value and priority, yet not allocate any time or recourse towards it, can you really say you value it?

This is tricky. You do not want to lie to yourself. I often think about this. If I claim my wife to be my number two priority in life and yet I did nothing to help her this past week, is she really a priority in my life? Same with my kids, how muhc of my time and effort was dedicated towards them? What about my perosnal health? My ministry? Most importantly God. If I claim God to be my number one priority, yet I spent little to no time in any type of spiritual activity is God really my top priority?

Write down what seem to be your real priorities based on how you allocated time, attention, and other resources this past week and month.

What kept you from investing in your priorities? (the ones you listed above?)

What changes do you need to make in order for your allocation of time, attention, focus, energy, and resources, to match your (listed) priorities?

The next step for me is to consider what the Bible has to say about life. I realize there is a whole lot that the Bible says about life, but here are some key verses to get you started. These verses do a great job of encapsulating the big picture in a succinct way.

With what shall I come before the Lord, And bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, Ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:6-8 NKJV

In your notes or journal write down what you think this verse means. Put it in your own words.

In light of this verse, should you make any changes to your priorities? Does this verse help you consider what your life goals are and how you plan to achieve them?

I find these verses also incredibly powerful and challenging.

6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

“If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, - Isaiah 58:6-9 NKJV

How does this verse impact your view of what life should be about?

Are there any things you wish to add to your priorities, goals, and daily routine?

I read these passages and consider my life and how much of these activities described by Isaiah are a part of my life, and if not what I can do to include them.

Consider what you believe God is calling you to do (in a practical sense) based on Micah 6:6-8 and Isaiah 58:6-9.

How can you live this out in a practical way this week? This month? What would your life look like?

Write it down in your journal or notes app.

Now let us add a verse from the New Testament. This is the last verse I’ll ask you to consider in this post.

What does “seeking the kingdom of God first” look like in your life right now?

What would “seeking the kingdom of God” look like for you this week? This month?

Now combine everything.

Your top 5 priorities.

Your core values.

When you consider what God calls you to do.

What should your life look like?

What are your life goals and how do you plan to accomplish them?

I pray that this exercise can at least get you started on living life more intentionally.

Let me know your thoughts on the comments below.

one of the craziest things I am constantly re learning is that other people can't give you something they don't know how to give themselves. that doesn't make it right or fair, but in some ways it does make it less personal when it IS hurtful. people who think their only value in the world is working will never encourage you to take time off or a break. people who never say no even when they want to won't applaud when you do. people who can't imagine more than what they have now will never believe you when you tell them your dreams. everything we put into the world is a reflection of ourselves and not in a cursed and sinister way, in a honest and true way.

when i didn't think anyone was on my side or believed my feelings, I wasn't capable of having anyone else's back. it wasn't about the situation or how valid their points were, it was the principle of the action to me in my own context that didn't change so nothing passing through it did either.

I think it's extremely natural to want to be understood and to crave reassurance. it's nothing to be ashamed of, and people are not born to walk the world alone. everything we have is because we build it together, and that's why making a commitment to healing yourself and give yourself the life you want over all else should always be your priority if you truly care about the people around you. If you give yourself freedom, understanding, kindness, loyalty, protection...then you are free to give it to another!

A list of moral questions to developing a villainous character

Is mercy a sign of weakness in your eyes?

What is your primary motivation or value that drives your actions?

Are there any principles you refuse to compromise on, even in your pursuit of power?

Do you believe lying is justified if it serves your goals?

How do you manipulate others to achieve your ends?

Would you betray an ally to further your plans?

Do you believe in justice, or do you see it as a tool to manipulate others?

Would you sacrifice yourself for a cause or ambition?

Would you destroy something beautiful or innocent to achieve your goals?

If you had to choose between your ambition and the life of someone you care about, what would you do?

Do you feel any responsibility towards society, or do you act solely for your gain?

How do you justify your actions to yourself and others?

Can you forgive someone who has wronged you, or do you seek revenge?

How long do you hold grudges, and what actions might provoke them?

Do you respect any form of authority, or do you see yourself as the ultimate power?

These questions can help you delve into the psyche of your villain.
