We're going on an ass kicking adventure.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Yes indeed this is a reference to the classic 'Kirby's fucking pissed' meme. It felt fitting given the circumstances.#Wei Wuxian is nothing but a villain now. His name is but a booeyman and scapegoat for everything that goes wrong.#It is a cruel and unusual punishment to be Irrepairable to others. That no matter what you do - you are othered and unsalvageable.#While this situation deals with necromancy & war & politics...boy does it ever mirror how modern drama campaigns go.#I wonder if MXTX did that on purpose? Considering how SVSSS talks about the relationships between authors and their fans/work -#Its stands to reason that WWX story is indeed a parallel for how the public prefers black and white & sensationalist views of people.#People are heroes or villains and trying to think about the nuance is too much work.#And it does not matter what the truth or lies are. The rumour exists and so it must hold truth.#It feels like someone dropped a poorly researched callout post on WWX on twitter that went viral.#80% of the people don't even know who he is but are still leaving him death threats.#“Guys I know we all used to really love WWX's content but I heard he unethically sourced his bones for his last art installation...”#Okay actually he might indeed do unethical bone sourcing. I need to think longer on what the hyper-specific hobby drama might be.#And a huge shout out to LWJ who is right in the vicinity watching this happen in horror. *That* is a specially kind of torment too.

Everything functions perfectly fine without you.
#undertale#deltarune#this was really experimental#i wanted to tell a bit of a story in my brain without like. actually telling it#but basically this picture is supposed to invoke the same feeling i have when playing deltarune#where i notice the lack of chara..and hwo there ISNT a gaping hole left by them#their absense doesnt effect this world at all#the drawing is meant to be a drawing done by kris i think that much is obvious#with their family. and there Isnt a big empty space where another person could go#chara really does have a world where they dont exist#and it doesnt matter.#theyre irrelevent. unknown to their family. even the fandom has mostly moved on from them#they ARENT haunting the narrative this time therye just. nothing. you dont see their putrid absense. theres nothing.#its almost so beautiful it may be intentional. everyone lumped goner kid in with the gaster followers#and it almost makes sense. but its been so clear to me the whole time that they Arent talking about gaster and it always frustrated me when#they were pushed in with them bc soething was just Off about it. bc gaster Doesnt live in a world where he doesnt exist. hes forgotten#but he did exists. the CORE exists. and he Pretty clearly exists in DR too#but chara doesnt. they are honestly the most important character in one game and then...nothing. in the next. and their family is unaffecte#there is simply a different human who gets name brand chocolates and dull knives for pie#also mild implied spoilers but the easter egg wehre you can give GK an umbrella and they note that its not raining but it makes them feel#better. listen. the idea chara lives within one world but not another and it doesnt matter. the Rain Thing in chapter four.#LISTEN TO ME LISTENNNNN TO ME#chicken scribbles

as much as I love batgirl 2024, I have to admit the lack of Barbara Gordon mentions in the whole series so far, especially with the first arc having such a big theme of motherhood/daughterhood and the things that comes with it, makes me soo sad. Barbara was the first person Cass actually considered as a mother! Barbara, although she wasn’t the best at it at first, truly did try to understand and love Cass unconditionally even when she was separated from the Bat mantle! And that panel where Cass overhears Barbara tell Dick that she doesn’t know how to really care for Cass could’ve been the perfect parallel to the whole “is a Mother just being connected by blood? No, Something more is owed/Being a daughter is more than being connected by blood” lines that Cass says in the last (current) issue because Barbara, though she did not physically bring Cass into this world, has sacrificed SO much for her, and in return Cass gave so much back.
#don’t get me wrong I love Cass and Shiva’s dynamic and how it is being explored.#however I DO think you can make an excellent story about the two and their dynamic without Shiva taking a traditional ‘caring’ mother role-#-she realistically did not want or care for at least since after Caroline-and essentially Shiva’s old life and softness-died#although I guess you could say that since Shiva is both reminded of her lost softness and Caroline through Cass-#-Cass symbolizes Shiva’s softness and Caroline reborn especially considering Shiva literally points this out.#I think Shiva and even Cass certainly ‘sacrificed’ for each other and Shiva does care for Cass-#-but it’s not really in motherhood hence Shiva is not ‘soft’ enough for that. And it is not sisterhood-#-because Shiva sees way too much of herself in Cass (i.e “im an open wound” line) so that Shiva cannot fully project Caroline onto Cass.#I would say it is something between those lines. But care and fondness/longing for something lost long ago does not equal motherhood to me.#anyways sorry!! back to babs and cass <3#mainly referring to that issue where Barbara says to Cass “People will forget about me [as batgirl] and that’s ok”-#while essentially handing Cass the title as Batgirl.#Barbara sacrificed the mantle she so loved-the mantle she was angry and devastated and overjoyed and is/was a part of her-#because Barbara believed in Cass and her spirit more than hers. more than anyone’s.#Barbara gave Cass giant leather wings to take to the sky with. SHE LOVES HER SO SO MUCH SHSHDHSKSMSN#Barbara wanted Cass to experience the same joy and freedom she got out of being Batgirl. and in response Cass states-#-“I will never be as good as you” because Barbara IS batgirl still in spirit. And as far as Cass was concerned she will never be as good-#-she will never be as self sacrificing as Barbara no matter how many bullets Cass takes for people.#AND THIS IS SUCH A BIG AREA OF CONFLICT BECAUSE BABS WANTS CASS TO BE HER OWN PERSON SO BAD#SHE WANTS TO LEARN WHAT CASS LOVES AND WHAT CASS SMILES AT SO SHE CAN MAKE CASS SMILE ALL THE TIME#SHE WANTS CASS TO BE MORE THAN BATGIRL BUT ALL CASS WANTS IS TO BE BATGIRL#WHICH IN TURN MAKES CASS WANT TO BE MORE LIKE BARBARA-OR ESSENTIALLY MORE UNLIKE HERSELF-#WHICH MAKES BABS INCREASINGLY MORE DESPERATE TO LEARN ABOUT AND LOVE AND SEPERATE HERSELF FROM CASS-#WHICH THEN MAKES CASS SO DEVASTATED BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE THE PERSON WHO ESSENTIALLY BIRTHED HER. AUAGHSHSJSBDN#yes. you understand.#anyways….idk being connected by mutual sacrifice and mutual love. THAT is the mother and daughter relationship that BG24 was getting at!!!!#this is where I shamelessly endorse CassCainMainly and their meta posts on Babs and Cass btw <333#cassandra cain#barbara gordon#lady shiva

jason isnt even angry at bruce for the way that he died, hes mad at bruce for everything after his death. so saying that jason's anger at bruce is misdirected anger at sheila is just wrong on so many fronts. because first of all-jason was never mad at sheila. yes she sold him out to the joker and got him and herself killed and jason knows that and tried to save her anyway. i think hes aware of where the blame falls but that again leads into the second thing wrong with saying that. jason is not mad about the circumstances of his death-hes mad at the lack of change his death caused. because if bruce had died, jason would've done whatever he could to avenge that. that's a part of jason's love language. so to have bruce basically do nothing and let joker continue to hurt others grates on jason. im not even mentioning the massive victim blaming that bruce does as well. but its the aftermath that jason has a problem with not the before.
so no, jason's anger towards bruce is NOT misdirected anger at sheila. again because jason's anger has nothing to do with the circumstances around his death but everything following it. which sheila had no part in due to y'know. also being dead.

Ok ok, my other Tangled hot take is that Cass's villain arc was... good. It was good. Yes, there was some back and forth in S3 between her and Rapunzel that felt stagnant, but so many people like to shit on Cass and her character and completely misunderstand where she is coming from. It's not about the moonstone, or power, or whatever. Cass has a very big hole that she tries to fill by being useful, by being relied on, and that directly clashes with Raps, who has all her life been seen as a tool, as a thing of value, not her own person.
But Cass WANTS to be that tool. What does she say to Eugene in S1? Her father taught her how to earn her keep. So she gives everything to feel useful to Rapunzel and her journey, and is still pushed aside. So when she sees the vision of Gothel, she doesn't think "Oh wow what a shitty mother I had" she thinks "How can I PROVE that I have value as a person?" And despite thinking she's proving it to herself, who she's actually proving it to IS Gothel, the dead woman who abandoned her. If she was powerful enough, strong enough, capable enough, Gothel would have kept her.
And who takes Gothel's place as a manipulative demon on her shoulder.

psa that the day there are no jgy stans left on tumblr dot com is the day i am dead
but rest assured i'll go to my grave exactly as i lived: obnoxiously proclaiming to everyone within earshot how great lianfang-zun is. narratively, metaphorically, spiritually. sexually, too, like why limit myself. i like to keep my options open
#the spirit of su minshan possessed me for a minute there but like. i'm fine with it#jin guangyao#he did crimes??? good for him 😌#editing this post to add that while the tone here is clearly joking#i really am fundamentally still engaged with this fandom#and with this book#almost exlcusively because of my enjoyment of jgy#even xiyao is secondary for me like i love it and i'm ride or die for it obvs#but jgy as a character is the main draw for me. and he would have me by the throat even if there was no zewu-jun#(tho i think jgy's life would be more depressing for his absence obviously)#but he is just. /clenches my fists!!!#THE most compelling character in the story and i cannot stop thinking about him!! cannot will not!!#who else in this book has his range? who else can be the doe-eyed idealist AND the spy with blood on his hands who ends a war?#who else is two different greek tragedies and at least two separate shakespearean tragedies rolled into one antagonist#an antagonist who but for the POV of the novel could very easily have been the protagonist#whose moral event horizon is so deeply entwined with his own trauma and abuse that there is no way to meaningfully separate#the violence he does to others from the systemic violence that was done to him for his whole life?#who else in this book manages to get five separate sect leaders utterly obsessed with him no matter how you choose#to interpret that obsession?#no one!!! that's who!!#ain't no one else in the jianghu doing it like lianfang-zun and that's just a goddamn fact

What Mahito did: Manipulate Junpei into being his friend and then killed him in front of Yuji, laughed about Yuji's desperation to save him, killed Nanami, got Nobara into a coma, destroyed one of Todo's hands
Yuji with Mahito at the end:
Tumblr media
What Sukuna did: Threaten to kill Yuji's friend multiple times, ripped Yuji's heart out of his chest and then tricked him into making a Binding Vow that he would have to forget in order to bring him back to life, laughed at Yuji when he desperately begged him to try and save Junpei, told him over and over again that his mere existence would bring destruction simply by being his vessel, destroyed Shibuya and killed countless of innocent people, ditched Yuji to make Megumi his new vessel, then sinked Megumi's soul as deep as he could in darkness in order to keep control of his body, killed Tsumiki, killed Gojo, killed Kashimo, killed Higuruma, killed Choso, almost killed Yuta and pushed him into using Kenjaku's CT to get into Gojo's body, kept praising literally everyone else but Yuji (while still trying to kill them), who he kept talking shit about instead, got pissed when Yuji showed pity and told him that he would kill every single person still left alive that Yuji cared about before finally killing him

I bring a sort of "flawed female characters can be fun and enjoyable blorbos - both flawed in terms of having character flaws and in terms of having occasionally flawed writing" that it appears many, many, many people do not like
#i'm sorry for all the annoyance lately. i've been tired.#and a lot of the media i'm enjoying right now has focal female characters so i'm seeing the most absolute stupid takes of all time#anyways. cyan did have a character arc actually and her arc's flaws are largely similar to my criticisms of lin ling and yang cheng's arcs#so i don't appreciate the double standard#tianxi is just as interesting as tianchen if you actually read into her character the way one would for any underdeveloped male character#we don't even know anything about shao yuanyuan yet either why does everyone shit on her. i mean i get it i'm unimpressed with#her leaving her son behind - that is undeniably shitty. but there are so many who just don't want to see anything more of her. why???#yes wang qing got less screentime and marketing than hhh. but we actually have just as much if not more concrete info about her#than we do for any of those three. why is it that i mostly just see people complaining about her lack of screentime instead of#making five million headcanons for her the way hhh gets? :/#and like. all the arcane female characters. i'll admit i never did get as attached to caitlyn as i wanted to. but man.#i don't make arcane posts or interact with the fandom for a reason. the only female characters people seem to like are jinx and isha#mel has been done a great disservice in fandom imo. she is wayyy more interesting than just being beautiful.#and mizi is not a manipulator. wtf is your problem#i legitimately have no idea what kind of female character it would take to actually be considered good.#people want flaws but then completely misinterpret her. bad character writing means she's bad female rep.#it doesn't matter that people would lovingly take a guy with mediocre writing and give him a better arc. she's just “boring”#a male character can have the same internal conflict as a female character and everything about how she treats it is wrong.#writers then “play it safe” by giving their female characters external problems to overcome instead of internal ones#thus making her... “boring”. again.#same general issue applies to any character with a slightly darker skin tone too. doubly so for darker skinned women.#anyways. i am really scared for queen's arc honestly. i've already seen people being more excited for X than her#and shitting on her for being a “nepo baby” (???)#meanwhile i am concerned that they are going to play it too safe with her writing thus making her “strong woman” whose problems are#all external#that most of her drive will be related to the two older men in her life with no nuance (i'm hoping not but this is always a fear)#or that they will delve into a messier internal conflict and everyone is going to hate her except for the handful of people who#actually have a baseline understanding of women's issues. lmao.#liu yuwei get behind me.#storyrambles

sigh...
[puts on my clown hat] alright. i need to say something.
people trying to say that trans/nonbinary representation in veilguard is the worst thing thats happened to the trans community in the last half a year (im exaggerating here but u get my point) need to sit down and ask themselves a couple of questions.
1. Are you nonbinary? If not, do you know someone who is? Have you talked to them about their experiences and what its like to not fit into the strict gender binary that permeates our society on almost every level?
2. Do you think that your experiences are universal?
if you answer no and yes in that order, then i'm going to have to ask you to please put the keyboard aside and go do some self-reflection.
Because frankly. I'm kind of starting to get sick of seeing binary people try to talk about this while completely not understanding the experience and also thinking that their personal perspective is the only true and correct one.
Like, the amount of times ive seen people COMPLETELY misinterpret the scene with Taash and Neve talking in the dining room is ridiculous.
Some things are just not about you. And that's okay <3
#valtalks#dragon age fandom critical#da fandom critical#datv positive#that scene is not about hating women. its just not#no matter how much u try to twist it to fit ur bad-faith take#like. i understood what that scene was saying fucking IMMEDIATELY#its really not that hard to grasp. and yet.#like. its not that deep. its realistic#if you want to bash a dragon age game about misogyny. how about we talk of dao. or da2.#like i love those games to bits but they did not age all that well!#and why are we treating a game published by EA of all companies as like.#something that is supposed to be on par with academic texts about the issues of patriarchy and capitalism#its an AAA game for fucks sake 😭#of course its not gona go into depth on these topics. r you like. serious rn.#what happened to the simple joy of being able to finally play a nonbinary character without having to run a constant de-gendering filter#in your head.#because there arent rly any other AAA games that give that simple joy to people in the way that veilguard does#just letting u choose ur pronouns and then forgetting about that aspect of ur character for the entire game is one thing#which isnt bad necessarily#but letting it be an actual part of your character? that you can bring up when relevant? thats kind of very good#you cant tell me that the devs didnt even try to make the trans rep in this game good#because they clearly did. and they did great#everything can have flaws everything can need improving#especially when we talk about representation of minority groups in AAA games#but why are we shitting on the genuinely good steps forward that are being made#what is this accomplishing?#like genuinely sit down and ask yourself. what is the purpose. what is the goal. what do u hope to accomplish#anyway this fandom makes me insane im going back to drawing shitposts

I stumbled my way through some pseudo-milestone social and personal stuff today and you know what? it was incredibly nice and a good experience and I'm proud of myself, actually. needless to say my nervous system in the immediate aftermath is also humming at at a pitch that could break glass and kill dolphins, and I feel faintly like three day old sunkissed roadkill, but sometimes you just have to tank that shit because that seems to happen whether what's going on is good or bad lmao
#my brain goes 'never met a stimuli that didn't make me long to return to the form of a jellyfish' no matter what#it just needs some time to process. and is extremely dramatic about it every time lol. getting a failing grade in being conscious#something that is possible to achieve and normal to dread if you just work hard and believe in yourself etc.#a reader may perhaps extrapolate some things from the ease and instinctiveness with which I understand lucanis dellamorte#and his problems with feelings of confusion fear overwhelm or ambivalence#even towards positive things happening in his life lmao#you know. it's a hell of a thing to be born with this nervous system but I guess someone had to be so let's make the best of it I guess#I think it did help a bit that I forgot to be nervous on the bus there because I got caught in an amazing drama-chasing wikiwalk#through the personal lives of the norwegian artistic elite of the 1800s. bjørnstjerne bjørnson was one of The messiest people#who have ever lived or written poems god bless. and his daughter bergljiot was one of the most hard core#(she held her father at gunpoint with his own weapon and threatened to shoot him if he didn't stop cheating on their mum#like he'd promised so many times. worrying behaviour. undeniably kind of badass. life before no fault divorce was Bad actually)#it felt like every new name I clicked to follow the trail of hot goss had me gasping like 'nO! no TELL me he didn't... but of course#of course he did *morbid glee*'#lots of people dying dramatically of tuberculosis at 23 and that kind of stuff peppered in too it was delicious#also for possibly the first time I had the instinct to reach out to someone to help me process after and it really did help to do it#which again. as small steps go. it does not a moon landing make but it remains a step taken#now I intend to play ds3 and let my brain stay on an elevator music channel until it's ready to actually be of use again#I may be a while

Belinda Chandra really is the most classic nuwho companion... Just wants to get home, goes through so much shit and it barely seems to affect her, keeps getting sidelined because there’s too many other characters to keep track of and, of course, while she’s not getting married off at the end her exit feels equally (if not more) rushed, out of nowhere and deeply misogynistic -_-
