A little redraw for @apollosgiftofprophecy she's been deprived for too long

🫴🏻✨

Here's the Original

Which do you prefer? I think Commodus looks wayyy more sinister in this version and Lester looks more... Scared :(

The song I imagine playing in the background of this scene is "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift 😄 it just fits

#apollo #trials of apollo #toa #the dark prophecy #commodus #commodus toa #apollo toa #toa apollo #toa commodus #brook kinda draws #redraw #send Commodus straight to jail #i am hesitant to tag this as copollo because Commodus is a massive creep in this drawing #Lester's a child! who is also a 4000 year old god! but still in the form of a child! but yet somehow reminds you of your lover! #who at the time was like 2000 years old! #its so confusing #ill tag it anyway because this technically is canon #copollo #and Apollo is still #ya know #4000 years old #but saying that makes me feel like those creepy weeb anime boys who try to explain perving on a child by saying she's technically 200 #cause she's a different species and they age differently even though she looks 9 #please forgive! #I'm not a creepy weeb! #also #not me snapping photos of me grabbing my own face to get the reference i wanted XD #i can never draw in public lol #especially not copollo 🫢 #SoundCloud

"don't hurt the gay one" is easily top 5 best torchwood quotes and it plays in my head every time 14 is going through the horrors so like. near constantly

#LEAVE HIM ALONE he's a 2000 year old gay minor with anxiety........ #i say this like i dont clap and cheer every time he's suffering and crying but yknow. believing 2 completely opposite things etc #''op where tf is that from'' dont worry abt it im just insane. but if you wanna go diving it's called The Last Beacon #doctor who #wild blue yonder #14th doctor

somewhere out there is an alternate timeline where toby was correct and people actually did hate spamton. could you imagine that. i have to imagine we wouldn't have gotten the spamton sweepstakes in that case which is crazy to think about given how much lore that gave us-

#puppy rambles #deltarune #spamton #my favorite part of the spamton sweepstakes is the part of the q&a where spamton implied he and jevil are divorced #are all the secret bosses in a polycule you think. we need to add to this deranged relationship #diversity win! all the people who were driven insane by being told their world is just a game are in a polyamorous relationship <3 #i like to think gaster made a discord for all of them. just like ''hey. sorry for telling you your world's fake. here's a discord. good by' #i don't even care about the secret bosses super much but they still amuse me greatly. even if there's only two of them rn- #spamton is so hilarious. idk why everyone is so obsessed with him but it makes him even funnier to me #also his text in brackets is fun to write. it's also hard to write but you can do so much with it #since it's taken from various places on the internet you can just reference memes #... i mean the one problem is that it'd probably have to be memes from the time period deltarune's in #so like. early 2000's or 2010's #but the valentines don't regard that and reference more recent memes so who knows really #maybe deltarune's actually meant to be in modern times. i mean you could fully convince me #that noelle just likes old internet-style websites and stuff dfskljfdsdfjksfkjlsfkj- #(i mean some of the meme references are up to interpretation) #(but the two definite ones are the war thunder forums leaking military documents and also the hotel mario intro) #(and at the very least the former is a newer thing) #(there's also seemingly references to the ''let me in'' meme and the foam shower images from the april fool's newsletter last year) #(idk where the fuck else ''insulating foam'' would be taken from-) #i hope spamton just randomly contributes to conversations sometimes if you have the dealmaker equipped #i logically doubt it but it'd be extremely hilarious #i'm now imagining equipping the dealmaker to noelle. who was not there for either spamton encounter #''um. kris why's there a voice in my head telling me to be a big shot?'' ''don't worry about it'' #alternatively if you just get the dealmaker from the hole in castle town cuz you have another file with it #... can you do that in chapter 2 files. if so then can you technically have the dealmaker while not having met spamton- #''player why is there a voice in my head telling me to be a big shot'' ''don't worry about it'' #''i'm sparing you from having an existential crisis later-''

So like, I have been having this weird experience analyzing the Harry Potter books lately, and please indulge me while I talk about J.K. Rowling's weird writing.

My goal was simple: read the Harry Potter books to find which parts were influenced/inspired by actual magic that people do in real life. My theory was that there was a lot more magic in the earlier drafts of the books, and that she took a lot out due to fear of backlash from America's ongoing reenactment of the Satanic Panic. For instance it's quite obvious some of their magic lessons got dumbed down so that very little of what's in the books could actually be tried in real life, and I think she took out a lot of astrology.

I also wanted to do a couple errands along the way, one of which was to check and see if it's explicitly written in the books that Harry is a cis man. I'm a trans man, SO I'D KNOW. (I'm a slow reader so all I can say for now is: the FIRST book does not explicitly state Harry is cis, but if he's trans, there's some implied worldbuilding with items like the Sorting Hat that comes into play. Also I'm fairly sure the Dursleys would have gone along with him being trans because that meant Petunia could reuse Dudley's old clothes instead of having to get girl stuff. I'mma save any other explanations on the topic for a video on it.) The reason I'm doing this read-through is because I think J.K. doesn't know anything about trans people and didn't think to make sure her wizard world was trans exclusionary. AND IT TURNS OUT THAT WE TRANS MAGIC USERS HAVE A WAY OF WIGGLING INTO MOST PLACES UNDETECTED BY NORMAL MEANS.

While I was doing the re-read I encountered two sort of broad revelations:

There's a lot of old stuff in there like Latin and Greek and tradcraft stuff, but also modern magic of the more recent era... but the incorporation of modern magic cuts off somewhere before the 80s. These books read like they were written by a early 70s magician. Like they honestly read like J.K. is a magical practicioner who just didn't read any magic books written after 1972 and never discovered what Chaos Magic is, (and also, never heard of most of what happened in the Cold War). I have never found a writer, in fiction or non-fiction, more dedicated to referencing magical stuff that most magicians alive today just don't care about anymore.

J.K. Rowling's knowledge of child abuse laws and general social mores regarding treatment of children also ceased to update itself by about the 80s. I keep getting distracted by this and having to make more side-notes about corporal punishment and researching stuff like when caning was banned in England. (HInt: it was banned before Harry went to school, so in Book 1 it's fuckin weird that he assumes that Wood is the name of a cane he's about to be whipped with.) Like, this woman raised children in the modern era, she should know when canes stopped being used.

So like, when I mention that I'm doing some research in this area, this is the sort of stuff I'm reading for and the sort of stuff I'm encountering. I haven't been talking much about this journey because it seems like any time anyone brings up anything Harry Potter up whatsoever, we've got to talk about how J.K. is a terf in every other sentence. But like, y'all: I hope you slow down and re-read the books, because J.K. Rowling is a terf who is also a child abuse apologist and normalizer. She is a terf who is also a horrible fat-shamer. She is a terf who is also an ableist with a huge problem writing about mental illness. And she's a terf who's also a sexist who undermines feminism with her actual writing of female characters.

And I honestly think she double and triples down on the terf stuff so that people will only talk about that. I think it's worth talking about the fact that not only is she an awful person in the terf way, but like, every other way imaginable too. I think it's worth talking about the fact that with all the obvious biases she has, the group she CHOOSES to publicly marginaiize is trans women, and I think she makes that choice because she thinks that she'll get more allies that way. That if she wore all of her issues on her sleeve like she wears the terfness, that she'd lose a lot of allies, that a lot of prestigious charities would stop having anything to do with her. That she uses the identity of "terf" as a shield because she knows that certain people will protect a terf, and she does this specifically so people won't notice how much of a sexist, abuse apologist, ableist, fatphobe etc she ALSO is. Opinions that could lose her a lot of money and clout if people remember them enough.

She's trying to pick on who she thinks is the most unpopular kid in the class out of the hopes that the bullies in class will be her friends instead of pile up on her, but if the bullies knew what she really thought of them, THEY wouldn't even be her friends.

Also like... I just want someone else to read the actual words in these books and see what fucked-up choices she made as a writer. I think a LOT of people remembering these books are actually remembering the movies, which are way more different from the books than you might expect.

#this got long and rambly #every time i try to read the books i find a new thing that is weird #i had to look up when milk bottle delivery stopped in england #i know so many things about knickerbockers now #it seems like the only reason platform 9 3/4 is used is for the parking and that's so weird #why would you name something futuristic a 2000 when that's only 9 years from when the first book is set #who leaves a one year old on a doorstep #how come the dursleys are so affluent to have late-era milk bottle delivery at the doorstep #yet no 4AM joggers in the neighborhood who would have seen Harry before Petunia did #these books are an assault upon all logic and I am mad and angry that there is a theme park based on them that fails the ADA #you're telling me wizards can hide an entire castle yet they can't add a ramp to a shop's doorway #oh gods i'm never going to stop get me out of these tags I need a snack and a hug

like clockwork someone who's been openly a sex pest for decades gets named as a rapist and sexual predator and we all get to play the hit parade with such classics as:

oh my god oh my god did you know this industry full of rich people who are rewarded for exploitative and abusive behaviour...has an issue with rape and abuse??? CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???? (yeah man we know. we've known for quite a while actually. for longer than I've been alive for sure.)

oh my god I can't believe there are rapists among us (1 in 3 women have experienced rape, who do you think is doing it?)

but he seemed so nice! (not really tbh)

well I met him and he never raped me and like, I'm really hot so if he was really a rapist he would have (Jesus fuck get help)

is it really rape to fuck 16 year old girls when you're in your 30s? (yeah it is if you fucking rape them mate)

can't believe everyone knew but never said!!! (they literally did say and also hey imagine if you will what reasons there might be too not say anything, such as, say, it's not your story to tell and the victim had expressed a wish to not be at the centre of a whole shitstorm)

Real Victims wouldn't go to journalists they'd go to the cops!!! (hey guys I have some upsetting news about the experience of reporting rape to the cops)

This is a conspiracy to make this irrelevant celebrity look bad! (please touch grass)

it's all just a bit of fun innit (no)

and every time we all over again have to go to this place where rape is simultaneously a significant threat and common experience (agreed) but also everyone who's ever talked about being raped is lying, and nobody's ever done a rape even if there's 20 years of documented evidence and on camera confessions and also their whole public persona is 'cheeky sex pest' (fucking. what?)

and then that guy hopefully gets cancelled and people feel a bit more guilty about watching him. and then they'll go HOORAY THE EVIL IS DEFEATED WE HAVE GOT RID OF THAT GUY THAT DID THE RAPES. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE. COMEDY/FILM/MUSIC/TV IS FREE OF PREDATORS NOW

and then 6.5 seconds later allegations will come out about someone else and we will start the whole thing again from scratch OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???

#red said #it gets SO under my skin like how are people STILL SURPRISED????? #like this happens SO OFTEN you canNOT still find it this unexpected??? #especially when it's someone like Russell Brand who is the kind of 2000s comedian who built his entire career on predatory misogyny as a bi #like I'm sorry I'm sorry this isn't a time you so moment #but some people you're like oh that's disappointing. he seemed like he might be sound. #others though. you cannot tell me at any point in the last 20 years anyone's looked at Russell fucking Brand #and not thought at least a little bit oh this man's a fucking nonce #'russell brand predated on teenage girls for years' may be up there in the least surprising sentences I've ever heard #i have never seen a man who's more obviously used to regularly using the phrase 'I waited until her 16th birthday so it's fine' #the fucking fedora ass incorrectly loquacious cult vibes '''''ironic''''' hipster misogyny known-in-thr-scene creepster #like we all know that guy right? sometimes he's a famous comedian and sometimes he's a 38 year old musician who only ever #dates girls under 18 and hangs out at spots frequented by students trying to show off both how hip he is and how he's got Adult Money #but the vibes. the vibes. tbf a lot of those fuckers in the 2000s were probably also modelling their vibes off him also. #the looming monster of rape in the abstract

I've been reading Sandman and these bios were in the back of Season of Mists and I thought y'all would enjoy them.

#sandman #the sandman #neil gaiman #not actually good omens but I feel like people who like good omens would enjoy this #i mean GO is why I'm reading sandman #(they're very very good by the way) #sometimes it's really weird having been born in 2005 #i am baby #these started coming out over thirty years ago when my parents were like ten years old #and this author is still regularly creating and putting out more stuff #the passage of time. #AND I WASN'T THERE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME #THAT GOES FOR EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING EVER #but it's sometimes super weird to me that I wasn't like. fully grown in the early 2000s. #and I wasn't even born in the 90s #it's not weird to me that I wasn't around much before that though because the majority of the people I interact with weren't quite grown or #alive at that point. #oh and I get the same feeling about living in the US #like what the hell am I doing here I'm an anthropology major #and at the same time I was only born in 2005 why am I going to college I should still be going to elementary school #good omens

the problem with writing a fantasy loosely based on a historical culture is you need to decide how "loose" you're willing to go. like yeah i know they didn't have silk but fuck you there's a literal god sitting right the fuck there and of course he would want that shit. but also would the protagonist know what the fuck a book is?

#sorry i'm bouncing between my novel and B&D's next chapter #at least we know they had cannabis #god and his weed smoking polycule #edit: btw if anyone was curious the answer is no #i'm willing to fudge some years bc fantasy but not by the thousands that separate this time period from books as we think of them #which is annoying bc linen was also not a thing yet #or it was super expensive #so guess who needs to go change a bunch of instances of the fucking word linen #every so often im struck with the question 'wait was that a thing yet?' and it's like a 50/50 shot i need to rewrite something because of i #probs closer to 80/20 because even if it exists it exists in a much different context #like the linen thing #at least it makes some good jumping off points for learning about history #nothing like asking what sorts of dates (fruit) would have been available and in what season to send you down the rabbit hole #and find out scientists revived the extinct judean date palm with 2000 year old seeds #and the fruit tastes like honey #big fan of the fact the first one that they were able to grow was a male and they named him Methuselah

bruh the more time I spend in this fandom, the more I realize how much of a dinosaur I am lmao. I was recommended joong's tiktok of trying a filter called "thai babe" with a bunch of actors and. tell me why off wasn't there. gun wasn't there. tay-everyone's-favorite-fucking-tawan wasn't there. new wasn't there. singto. even fluke natouch. not even my baby gawin??? likeeeeeeee... not only was I upset bc I would've NEVER been happy with any of the results, but it made me feel SOOOOOO old like bruh, the kiddos & me truly stan different people 😂

#axelle rants #gmmtv #I'm a grandma but the worst thing is that I know people who've been in the thai bl fandom since its inception... what does that make them 😂 #I'm 24 years old babe I cannot ethically stan anyone who was born after 2000's. even 2000's is pushing it but. drake laedeke. #all the others that are below that I just look at them like an older sister fr #might be judgemental but I'll never understand grown ass bitches that lust unapologetically after 20 years old 😬 #(anyways I would like to take this moment as a reminder that when bitches on here were trying to get me cancelled a couple years back- #-they called me a p*do for lusting after drake & calling him daddy when he's one year younger than me & was 20 at the time 🙃) #(no I will never let y'all forget the bullying I went through on here at a time when I was going through depression & tumblr was quite- #- literally my fucking lifeline 🙃)

What's something about your work that you're dying to talk about?

Ooh this is a very good question! Thought a lot abt it, sorry if the response is very delayed.

I think because I haven't posted fic in like... half a year my desire to overshare on my progress has kind of dried up. But I was recently reminded of this one WIP I had about Odell/Jarvis with the added element about the red string of fate so I'll talk about that (the closest I will get to working on it).

Basically it follows their lives from high school when they first met at some interstate tournament. I'm pretty sure it's all from Odell's POV, not sure why I chose to do that but it was probably because his experiences were more interesting to me at the time to narrate through. They meet and exchange phone numbers, thus establishing a friendship, and a kind of rapport over similar experiences.

(The way I set up red strings of fate is that people are able to see their own strings and who they're tied to, which is usually their soulmate. But they're not perfect and sometimes the strings can break because whoever they were linked to ended up forming a stronger emotional connection to someone else.)

So Odell's string breaks at some point and he's not really sure if it's his own fault, despite having never met whoever it was supposed to be. There's also the fact that his parents are separated and he's being aware of the fact that he might also be into guys, which factors into Odell feeling generally very hesitant about love. Especially because he's going to go to a D1 school on a scholarship, and something like that would be pretty heavily frowned upon. Something something the expectation of male athletes to be masculine and not be burdened by feelings. But Jarvis does make him feel better whenever they hang out, even if they live like 50 miles apart.

But anyways they both end up going to LSU and here is where I basically stopped outlining but it's good. It's just easy to hang out with Jarvis, and Odell may or may not develop feelings? But at the same time it seems like Jarvis has already found his soulmate, so yeah. Unrequited feelings. And they're roommates. I feel like I would've just inserted some moment where they're on the verge of acting on those feelings but. I didn't write that far. Also include the part where Odell practices how to one-hand catch bc that's important of course.

I feel like I would've explored a good amount about how the sudden fame in the NFL gets to Odell, and how Jarvis is there to ground him. But long story short is that a lot of things happen and eventually feelings are discovered and they get together but it takes a very long time. (Unfortunately everything besides the relationship is "canon compliant" in the sense that all the timeline events align so yeah) Uhh I think that their strings somehow become linked bc I was one of those people who didn't know how to subvert expectations. But that happens! Yeah. Nice to ramble abt something I haven't looked at in a while.

#i was weirdly interested in soulmate fic in early 2022. #like i have a wip abt old white qbs in the 2000s having soulbonds. distressing. #might get to that in the next five years who knows #sorry if this was not really what you were looking for #i just kinda remembered this was in my google docs #shoutout jardell gotta be one of the pairings of all time #nfl #asks #odell beckham jr #jarvis landry

taylor fan brain rot is reading an article about the sexualization of young female celebs in the 2000s and immediately knowing that the very wise writer shaming that behavior is the woman who wrote Taylor's 2009 Rolling Stone cover story.

#shoutout vanessa grigoriadis #fell down a whole 'taylor media in the 2000s' rabbit hole yesterday and GIRL... #i think newer fans (me as a 1989ie included) really don't grasp how she was perceived during that time #she was essentially the ANTI everything. anti sexy siren anti feminist (that was a whole shabang) anti weirdo #and i do think some of the criticism could be injected back into the debate whether she is like countercultural or an underdog or whtvr #but also. that's a 20 year old girl.... #there was a super mean article that was just. intense. BUT t actually brought up the very interesting point #that taylor was treated as a 'child prodigy' when she actually is not that much younger than adele or gaga #who were viewed as young women #much 2 think about #because some swifties still did that when she was 24/25 #which is SUPER young!!! and a messy time #but i have rarely seen that happen with other artists

finished da game my thoughts on the unofficial content reintroductions is that they were all good ideas and you can see how much better the game would have been if troika had actually finished it but unfortunately they were being implemented by moronic forum creatures with no ability to understand the concept of artistic intent or basic game design principles

#ironically the complaint i have about the final level is that it was trivially too easy adn way too short for what it was trying to do #like i actually kind of enjoyed the harrowhark hotel level because it was my first time experiencing it on a character that didnt #literally completely trivialize it #to the point of it being an endless slog of effortlessly mulching every enemy with no possible threat to yourself #the fact that they could see through obfuscate while unexplained by mechanics or writing created a perfect power curve #vs brujah who by that point in the game can literally just beat the werewolf to death #and tremere who kind of exist to make you bored from how strong you are #the la sombra content reintroduction is definitely the most cringe inducingly bad fan mod type shit #but i did appreiate how it tied beckett into the serial killer storyline and kept all the threads moving forward #it was just being executed by people who didnt realize their version of it would make the game worse #bc theyre all like 35 year old morons stuck in the More Content = More Better mid 2000s gamerpig mentality

my autistic ass avoided watching the x-files because i knew it would consume me....

& now here i am fully consumed even though I've only watched the first few handful of episodes of s1 (i'm regaining spoons needed for media consumption), but let me tell you w h a t!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so excited i started crying because it combines unbridled pining, a skeptic & her believer husband partner, true crime, weird mythology, aliens (which i already knew abt obvi), unlikely besties who are prepared to square up at all times (re; scully being cold towards the agents mocking mulder & mulder being ready to fight g o d whenever anything happens to scully).

i just love the show a lot & i expected this but goddamn!!!!!! it's wormed into my spin category & now my alien spin is returning along with my 'unexplained happenings spin!!!!! i'm being consumed i tell you!!!!

I ngl get very concerned when I see people that were wayyy too young to actually witness 2000s internet back in the 2000s praise it super highly with zero acknowledgement of the very blatant racism, ableism, and homophobia that was prevalent back then.

I was around for the internet in the late 2000s and it was not all just Invader Zim MySpace glitter gifs, Windows XP, DeviantART, Nyan Cat (which I should add was actually created in 2011) and Evanescence Sonic AMVs on Youtube.

As a kid I saw tons of people online throw around the f slur and r slur like they were absolutely nothing, gay men and GNC men were mocked HEAVILY, very often in old fanart and flash animations. There were many memes online back then that mocked black people or featured racist caricatures (Shoop da Whoop/I'm Firin My Lazer literally originated from a blackface edit). And I don't think I need to mention, but I will anyway, that porn was way, WAYYY too accessible online.

Don't get me wrong as someone who grew up during the time I get nostalgic for it too, but it was not the golden age utopian state of the internet I've seen some kids online make it out to be.

#cookie.txt #long post #? #might change this so people can reblog it but for now no #but i get very worried as someone who grew up during the time #seeing 12-14 year olds going ''ohhh 2000s internet was so cool i wish i could be there it's my special interest ^_^'' #no uh. i don't think you want that #as i said yes i look back on some times with nostalgia #but growing up on late 2000s/early 2010s internet without any parental supervision #psychologically damaged me i think actually. like i can't really sugarcoat any of this #yes modern internet is absolutely like this too #racism homophobia and ableism is still very loud and prevalent online #but the past was not all sunshine and rawr XD rainbows

I'm thinking too much about the fact that Lil' Judd was three months old at the start of Splatoon 2 and how Grizzco had just started conducting business when the game launched (or at least very recently). Coincidence??

#i think it's explained that the scientist who created judd made sure a clone would be born automatically to keep him from being lonely #but seeing how judd is at least 2000 years old the timing seems like more than just coincidence #i feel like lil judd has his own agenda though even if grizz somehow activated his birth #anyway lil judd scares me and i love him #splatoon 3 spoilers #splatoon spoilers #return of the mammalians #my posts #lil judd #splatoon headcanon
