You know what? Shout out to Just Dance 2023 for taking a song about dating a woman who’s really good at sex and turning it into a song about generational trauma and childhood neglect. Phenomenal use of imagery there.

It's interesting to think about Master and Commander because it was clearly meant to work as a standalone book, which gives it a lot of curious little features when you compare it to later books, but none more than the fact that James Dillon was literally like a third main character there, and he brings out very specific dynamics with Jack and Stephen which none of the later books can ever quite get at. Like I genuinely believe that if there had not been a series, Dillon would have been a central character to all of our discussions, but as it is he's sort of faded into obscurity. Which is a shame, because he's really interesting, and one of the aspects of that book which is so fascinating is him and Stephen dealing with the fallout of the failed Irish Rebellion—the where-do-we-go-from-here, the fact that both of them are so completely politically incompatable in all other ways and now there's nothing to unite them, Stephen's idealism crashing into semi-ambivalence versus Dillon's fierce and continued belief (which is an interesting role reversal given their political stances otherwise), the weird camaraderie/animosity that exists between them, and so on—and I think that we never really get anyone who forces Stephen to be that politically nuanced again. Like I think Patrick O'Brian tries to nuance him but there's no character that ever really puts him through his paces in the same way, and honestly every time I think about that I get a bit sad.

Mmmmh i dunno about you guys but i dont know if i personally like the "engineer is a father figure/the team dad" popular headcanon that much. Obviously hes calmer than most of the other mercs but i think heavy would be better suited for the team dad headcanon because hes calm and responsible just like engie but also has several younger sisters who hes taken care of since he was young which engie doesnt. Obviously this headcanon is not bad but im not too fond of it and think its a tad overused/overrated

ok so, even with the recent revalation that the insomniac spider man games exist in Earth-1610 (ie our Miles's univerce), and the fact that because of this, insomniac Miles Morales cannot exist in there, you can take my insomniac Miles and 1610 Miles meeting and comparing their lives out of my cold dead hands

the fact that they are canonicaly video games in 1610 gives away to almost too many wtf implacatins im buzzing

#accross the spiderverse #spiderman atsv #atsv #miles morales #insomniac miles morales #insomniac peter parker #ps4 spider man #ps4 miles morales #spider man #fave #like i would still hope that the actual pete they showed was our version #our game version #this is confusing #but it also gives the line “from video games” and makes it more meaningfull!! #because for our miles #he littiraly is from a video game!! #but fucking hell #which means. that in 1610. the insomniac games were almost autobiografical games on their own version of peter parker #they could only make the game work because its so obvios that 1610's Peter was older and TIERD!! #but god damm that is a whole nother can of worms #because!!! #Miles is so important to the inso0lniac univerce!! #and to Peter's story!!! fuck!!! #WHICH MAKES MY THEORY THAT INSOMNIAC PETER PARKER AND 1610'S PETER PARKER ARE UNIVERSAL PERRALELS!!!! #they are littiraly the same accept one of them dies im telling you #the connections between these games and the spider verse movies are FASINATING

[lost-tardis-room]

just saw an annoying post so here we go

if you're emotionally attatched to good omens fanon crowley i would reccommend not reading <3 remember if you dont like a take you can always go find another one <3 curate your own fandom experience <3

it was some ask like 'omg i love the good omens collectivly agrees that crowley was friends with freddie mercury and hozier who wrote songs about his venting ahaha' like YOU REALISE THAT DOES NOT FIT HIS CHARACTER. SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT JUST COS YOU'RE A HOZIER GIRLIE AND A LOT OF HIS WORK FOCUSES ON RELIGION AND THAT ONE SLITHERED HERE FROM EDEN LINE IS KINDA COOL DOESN"T MEAN THAT THE SIX THOUSAND YEAR OLD ACTUAL DEMON FROM ACTUAL HELL like your pop music i'm really sorry but it doenst fit his character he canonically has like one friend and a few people he doesnt mind so much he is not buddying up to your favourite celebrities/musicians just cos you think all your blorbos should like all the same stuff you do. the bentley playing queen is framed as an annoyance because hell is annoying, that he just kinda of got used to just cos its playing all the time why would he have been friends with the guy???? doesnt make sense?????

also current fanon takes on crowley annoy me so much he's always some whiney baby and look i love a good sopping wet and pathetic character as much as the next guy but we've sort of completely overshot s1 'i just lost my best friend' level of understandable grief and gone straight to him just being annoying????? like being mopey??? and i dont read a lot of fic but when i did he seemed to get portrayed a lot as like this submissive quivering mess like GUYS LITERALLY HOW DID YOU REACH THAT CONCLUSION???? HES NOT LIKE THAT. HE JUST ISNT. and he's always soooooo traumatised and like.... yeah! they've both been through A Lot but they also have fun and enjoy being alive and enjoy hanging out wih each other and going and getting coffee etc. they both enjoy life!!! and i get some people are projecting to deal with there own stuff and like cool whatever works for you is good and healthy but i see so many takes that are starting to warp the perception of how the characters really are? and people keep positing aziraphale as being manipulative and i mean. yeah a little but they're under a lot of stress here and probably heaven doesnt have therapy covering healthy coping methods and good relationships so i really dont think itsthat much to get hung up on. also. it's literally not real they're fictional, fiction characters who have Issues are wayyyyy more interesting to literally whats the problem.

like idk man if you love teh characters so much then why are you making so many changes to their fundamental characters idk.

back to teh music thing too like. he listens to the velvet underground. idk if any of the people who are hozier stans bothered to go listen to some velvet underground before they made their character playlist but pale blue eyes & i'll be your mirror are like the nice ones??? like go listen to sister ray and then tell me the guy whos been listening to that will find from eden interesting. and neil saying he was goth and then people seem to have taken that to mean 'wears black and has a tattoo and is grumpy' like nooooooooooooooooooooooo you missed it. you missed the point again. and teh person who answered the orginal ask was like 'ahaha yeahhhhh and aziraphale was friends with composers and all teh beautiful symphonies were about crowley ahaha' like AHSGNAJKNHSKAJNSKANHSKANAKSNAKSKAKKKKK . AHN. K. not everything in the go universe is about them like. sorry! good worldbuilding doesnt make Everything focused on two guys. just cos they're very important and have been very influential doesnt mean they're like. the only thing thats ever shaped anything

ok sorry rant over

#anyways i think the fanon version of them both now is annoying #i reblog good art when i see it cos there is still so much good art being made #but i think a lot of people are missing the point and need to rewatch the show for what it is #not with some warped fandom take on it running in their heads the whole time #its not fanfic!!!! not everything exists to be a tragic love story with 128718271298 hot sex scenes!!!! #which is a while nother can of worms but uhm. ace queerplatonic ineffable husbands they are married but dont have sex <3 imo

[danny-chase]

I know a Tim stan, and we have come to a conclusion: Dick and Jason were taken for granted. Tim, because Bruce now knew his kids could die, was given compliments and such

I feel like Bruce also kept his distance from Tim, but maybe that's because i read Tim's solo and stopped reading the detective comics and batman comics after Tim's initial arc, but it kinda felt like Bruce just let Tim do his own thing rather than being a team with him, and called him when he needed help going through like camera footage and stuff (from what i recall of the batman comics). Also it seemed like he spent less time training tim (he sent him off to Dick for a period of time, and then to Europe he kinda just offloaded the work). It was also a different relationship with Tim from the start - even though Dick pretty much immediately considered him a brother, Tim already had a dad (and while Jack wasn't winning any awards, he took Tim fishing, disciplined him, housed him, and covered the dad role after he woke up from his coma), and it doesn't really seem like Bruce considered Tim his kid like he did with Dick and Jason. Tim didn't live with Bruce. He was only there to be Robin, he wasn't there to be Bruce's son. Eventually Tim is adopted, but it's as a publicity stunt to catch a kidnapper of rich kids, whereas for say Cass and Dick, it was the culmination of their relationships with Bruce. I think you can't only contribute Tim's different treatment by Bruce as to the fact he knew his kids could die - because when you look at his relationship with Steph, he's super hard on her partially because of how much she reminds him of Jason. Like he literally takes Cass to Jason's grave and draws comparisons to Steph to make a point to her that Spoiler shouldn't be a hero. When Cass loses her ability to read people, Bruce stops letting her out with Jason as his justification. He doesn't really do this with Tim - and I think the reason he does with Steph is because he sees similarities between her and Jason, and that with Cass because he sees her as his daughter, whereas with Tim he's distanced himself enough and doesn't see the similarities between Tim and Jason. I think that distance and having to be present in the double role of parent and mentor is why he does better with Tim (and out of text, some of it's definitely the sexism of the writers when you look at how Steph is treated vs how Tim is treated, plus Tim's kinda written as a self insert power fantasy for nerdy boys so he can't be getting dunked on).

Now on the other hand, this is only really taking modern era stories into consideration, and we don't really have too many examples of how Bruce parented Jason in the modern age (when Jason was young). We have plenty of examples for Dick (Robin: Year One, Batman/Scarecrow: Year One, Teen Titans: Year One, Dick's origin getting retold 5000 times, flashbacks in Nightwing stories, Robin & Batman, etc. etc.) where it's pretty clear Bruce was not the best parent (in mild terms). With Jason we don't really have the same thing - so that begs the question - what was Jason's relationship with Bruce like in the modern era of comics? Are the original comics with him as Robin still mostly canon? Because Bruce wasn't really a bad parent in those. To which then it seems like he learned from the mistakes he made with Dick and did better with Jason as a father before Jason died, and then after Jason died just went to absolute crap and Tim was only spared because Bruce didn't consider him his son. Idk, food for thought

#dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #i won't tag the girls because they got like one line of meta each rip #Cass and Bruce's relationship is a whole nother topic of conversation #and he treated Steph like garbage which is its own can of worms #tbh i do wonder how much of Bruce treating the girls (including Helena and Babs) is sexist garbage from the writers bleeding #into canon #asks #anon #momo don't look #comic book canon is so weird and interesting to me because like: i know everythings canon now but it's more like #whatever the writers have read is canon #and some things can't be canon because bludhaven isn't a pile of nuclear waste #so 'everything's canon' is just a lie lmao and trying to figure out what is and isn't is interesting #but Bruce being a shit dad to Dick somehow made the cut of still being canon: stares directly at Robin and Batman #he's also pretty crap to Damian which doesn't come up here but like he just sucks so bad in Batman and Robin 2011 #such a messy family fr

I have a friend who hates Peeta so much, because they only watched the movies. They said that Peeta is a weakling and a stalker etc.

What key point or best qualities of Peeta's I should tell them so they change their mind? Thank you 😊

(Please don't answer with, "they should read the novel, it's so good!", I've tried many times, fail every times 😑) @curiouspeetamellark

If we're utilizing the movies for the sake of argument, I would actually focus a lot on Catching Fire. I feel like general audiences like to focus on two things when it comes to Peeta: the awkward dialogue during the cave scene, and any time he needs rescuing- the latter probably more than the former. THG did a pretty whack job with his characterization, stripping away his more robust characteristics like his sass and temper, and leaving us with a seemingly "weaker" husk.

But then Catching Fire swoops in and actually rounds him out more. He still has his imperfect moments, like where he shows a bit of bitterness towards Katniss in the beginning, but then he actually apologizes and tries to level with her. He still has moments where he relies on other characters for help, but then he selflessly fights and puts himself in danger all the same. He just feels way more Peeta in this movie to me, and so it's always a good example to use. I'll list some specific moments to highlight that really speak on his character too-

He goes off script during the tour and decides to donate Victor Proceeds to the families of the fallen tributes.

He helps Katniss look after Gale when Gale is injured, despite the sort of "rivalry" that exists between them. It clearly pains him, but he does so without question, because he knows he's important to her.

The whole "if it weren't for the baby" thing because that's such a mic drop moment lol, but it also speaks on his intelligence and mental quickness.

He takes a rather large injury to protect Katniss. During the fog scene, she ends up stumbling and falling right in the path of the incoming wisps. He stops, runs back to her, and shields her body with his own, helping her up and taking the brunt of the poison himself. This of course puts him in a position where he needs assistance from others, but he deadened himself on someone's behalf.

He comforts one of the morphlings as she dies, despite barely knowing her. He holds her in his arms and directs her attention to the sunset colors above, allowing her a moment of peace before she passes away. (He also allowed her to paint flowers on him during training and complimented her work, but that was cut from the movie because of course it was jsjkd i'm not salty)

Sort of going off two, he encourages Katniss to win for her family, and that includes Gale. He is entirely willing to put his feelings aside and sacrifice himself, as long as it means Katniss gets to live a happy life. Even if he's not a part of it, that's ultimately what matters to him.

And those are just a few. He's kind, and selfless, and courageous. He runs head on into perilous situations without a moment of hesitation to protect those he cares for, and still provides gentleness to those he's unfamiliar with. He's strong enough to fight, but soft enough to care.

#Answered #Anons #Peeta Mellark #thg #Catching Fire #If someone doesn't care for Peeta then that's fine #You don't HAVE to like Peeta #But like...BESTIE NOT THOSE SAME REASONS POPPING UP OVER AND OVER #Like come on there's so much more to him than his quote unquote 'weaker' moments #ALSO LIKE #I feel like a lot of people like to immediately label him as weak because he's not 'traditionally masculine' #In the sense that he's not super chiseled and is more emotionally sensitive and isn't on the brawny/more aggressive side #Which is like...A WHOLE 'NOTHER CAN OF WORMS BUT YOU KNOW

I truly hate how selfish my mom is

#vent #mother knows best #I don’t really know much of the details #but she was upset today because a fight happened between her students at her school #and because of that she got into an argument with my stepdad #(who I consider to be my actual father) #and basically accused him of cheating on her #which released a whole nother can of worms into their relationship #because my stepdad has never — no matter when or how he’s upset — accused her of cheating on him #and he told that to her #he straight up said that she was accusing him of something he didn’t do #and he’s incredibly loyal to her and me #he literally distances himself away from us because he doesn’t want to hurt us #or do something he regrets #when he’s severely depressed #and she has the gall to accuse him of cheating just because she was upset #the worst part about it is #SHE TOLD ME TO TEXT HIM TELLING HIM THAT ‘Mom is really depressed’ #WHAT THE FUCK?!! #THIS ENTIRE SITUATION #THE REASON HE ISNT TALKING TO YOU AND THE REASON YOU’RE UPSER #IS ALL. YOUR. FAULT. #I was about to tell her that she should apologize to him for accusing him #but then she went and spout this bullshit from her trashy mouth #and then when I tried to tell her that it was wrong of her to do that to him #when she already hurt him #she wants to act offended #all huffin and puffin #fuck #fuck I’m so upset

I am not very knowledgeable about the situation between Israel and Palestine, but it feels like (as with everything these days) we’re being asked to fully support one side or the other.

Would it be accurate to say that members of both governments have done terrible things historically? There is no justification for attacking civilians, and the recent attack should certainly be condemned.

It just feels wrong to say that all Palestinians are evil because Hamas decided to attack civilian targets and kidnap people or to say that the people of Israel deserved what happened. 75 years of conflict isn’t so easy as “one side is right and the other is wrong”.

(To be clear I don’t think you or people you’ve reblogged have said Palestinians are evil. That’s more the sentiment from the religious right in the US, which is a whole ‘nother can of worms.)

So I literally just got out of the hospital--scheduled surgery, don't worry, it wasn't an emergency--and I'm catastrophically low on spoons, so I'll be brief.

Yes, it is accurate to say that both governments have done terrible things historically. No, not all Palestinians are evil. I'm actually friends with a fair number, including one of my German language classmates when I first moved to Germany. We bonded over food and history--to the surprise of some of our other classmates, who I think were expecting something like a matter-antimatter kaboom.

Nor do Israelis deserve what happened; while the government of Israel is not innocent and has done plenty of morally questionable and outright unethical things, the fact is that the average Israeli is either a survivor of ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide or is one to three generations removed from said ethnic cleansing, who fled to the one place on the planet that said that they would be safe there. (And yes, I am not unbiased there, being someone else two generations removed from said attempted genocide).

And yeah, the religious right in the US essentially is religiously masturbating to this whole monstrous situation, because their Christian Eschatological (end of the world) beliefs can literally be summed up to, "War Breaks Out In Israel, 144,000 Jews Convert To Christianity, All The Jews Die, The 144k Converts Escort Jesus Down For The Second Coming". So they have... incentive to keep this pot boiling in the hope of more death and destruction, because to their mind, this is the opening act for the return of their god.

I will never recover from this panel in Titans: Beast World Tour - Star City, which is at least 20 years overdue.

Of course, the obvious text of this story is "Ollie is loud and stubborn and tends to steamroll over everyone without thinking."

And the obvious subtext is "Connor is gearing up to tell Ollie he's ace and he's looking to feel safe to do so."

But to me it also carries the weight of everything that happened since Ollie came back:

Connor was regularly sidelined throughout the entire 2001 Green Arrow run or existed only to provide Wise Support to Ollie and Mia, never to have a storyline of his own. I think Kevin Smith and Judd Winick are both great Ollie and Roy writers but they had no idea what to do with Connor and it shows.

When Connor did play a major role, it was as object and/or victim, not subject (he gets shot, he gets shot again, we learn Ollie knowingly abandoned him at birth, etc.).

His interiority is entirely lost (outside of Dragon's Blood, which is...a whole 'nother can of worms). We get tons of POV from Ollie, some from Roy and Mia. I don't think we ever get it from Connor.

He's written out of the book for long passages, like when he stays on the island while Ollie returns to Star City.

Once he's in the coma, he's reduced once again to an object: a prop for Ollie and other characters to worry about and fight over, but not a person who can make choices. He's not a person, he's a football.

When he wakes up, he's being controlled by Dr. Sivana.

Then his personality is wiped.

Then he's erased from continuity.

When he's finally brought back a decade later, it's in the thrall of other supervillains.

So yeah, I'll bet Connor doesn't always feel heard. He hasn't had true agency since 2001.

Small Analysis on Belos/Philip, and the many chances at Redemption he missed.

I think the reason why I loved the scene in Watching and Dreaming were The Collector hugged Belos while saying "I get it! You just need kindness and forgiveness, huh?" was because it encapsulated perfectly how many chances Belos didn't take to fucking redeem himself.

I think we all kinda know that if he was just self aware, and reflected on the shit he did for ONE damn second, maybe, just maybe he could have turned out way better than what ended up happening.

Analyzing his backstory and what we can decide actually happened with Caleb (mostly based on all the pictures that were released from Hollow Mind with additional ones), it's not like he was ever exempt from sympathy, don't get me wrong.

Can't really go into the reality that Caleb, being Philip's sole guardian, most likely abandoned him to go with Evelyn into the Boiling Isles (not with bad intentions but still) since THAT'S a whole 'nother can of worms, but like hey! It's fucking understandable, who wouldn't be hurt by that?

But at the same time, what Belos decided to do, it was all on his own accord.

It was all his own decisions tha he could have actually thought on but no! He was too stuck in his delusional beliefs.

Could have stopped anywhere. After he killed Caleb. After he was tricking and offing witches and demons. After the whole encounter with Luzura/Luz and Gertrude/Lilith. After the making of the Grimwalkers began. After instilling glyphs on witches.

There are probably more examples, but basically, Belos had so many damn chances.

But nope! Never took them.

And again, The Collector was so willing to forgive him, even after manipulating and using this kid for centuries on end. After all the horrific shit that Belos has done, there was still a sliver of hope for him to actually just think, 'What am I doing? '

Of course, that didn't happen. It was a 'Friendship is Magic, but gone wrong' and he attempted to kill The Collector once again.

You know what's the best part of this? That there's a scene that just adds onto what I'm saying perfectly.

Later on when Luz revived into the super cool form that is Titan!Luz, she ripped out Belos from the titan's curse. And when he reformed again, he turned into his Philip Wittebane look.

And he had the fucking audacity to blame that dark magic (presumably his curse) was the one who made him commit all those horrendous acts.

This would make pretty much be his very first, and only attempt towards redemption.

But the thing is, it's too late.

Belos threw out his very last chance at redemption with The Collector.

And now? He has nothing more but than to deal with the ultimate consequences that have been building up.

This is also why I'm not that mad that Belos wasn't shown to finally realize the severity of what he has done, or to feel all that built up guilt flow it.

It's because it shows amazingly how far up his ass he was in his beliefs that even when he was DYING, he was just too fucking stubborn.

The more ironic part, like I mentioned earlier, that 'dark magic' was pretty much just his curse. That I want to mention, is fucking SELF AFFLICTED. Belos was literally the one eating all those Palismen, which are the cause of the curse. He's quite literally blaming himself!

And even though he tried to claim that Luz somehow cured him, got quickly called out on his bullshit when the boiling rain revealed him to still be purely goop.

Till the last minute, he was trying to keep a facade that quite literally, crumbled.

TLDR; Belos ultimately gave up every chance to be a better person, and he pretty much got what was coming for him.

Do you have the ability and/or desire to release a plush toy of your fursona? I think she's very cute and your "toon" design of her would work great as a plush toy tbh. Sorry if this is out of nowhere.

thank you! i've had interest shown in slarpg plushes but this might be the first time someone's said they wanted one of my fursona lol

anyway, i'm not opposed to the idea, the problem is just that i hate the whole makeship business model, which is the go-to way for people to mass produce plushes of their OCs. this is the same reason why i haven't done any slarpg plushes through them or similar sites. i hate that it's a super limited time thing where if people don't preorder a plush in a span of like three weeks, either because they didn't have the money or because they missed the announcement or because they only became a fan later or any other reason, then they just never get one. i don't begrudge artists who have done these sorts of campaigns, but i wouldn't want to do that myself. that's just not the kind of relationship i want to have with the people who like my work

also with makeship in particular there have been some horror stories about them snubbing artists who happen to do any kind of adult content on the side (nsfw art, modeling, etc.), which is a whole 'nother can of worms that makes me want to avoid them
