#compared to when a man is....

and if I said that the "girl's girl" discouse, particularly in regard to female musicians, is heavily reliant on the idea that men are allowed to be aggressive and competitive while women have to be nice and step aside to let other people past rather than be ambitious just packaged up in language about "the sisterhood"... what then?
#taylor swift#chappell roan#sabrina carpenter#beyonce#olivia rodrigo#like yes I agree charts and competition have kind of ruined music (nto a new thing btw) but the reaction when a woman is slightly ambitious#compared to when a man is....#also sorry this isn't your primary school sports day. the billboard top 100 is not giving out participation trophies

Out of sight, out of - wait.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#granny wen#a-yuan#It's always fascinating how colours translate from the page to the screen.#It would probably surprise a lot of people to see what some of these comics actually look like in physical form.#My lighter colours takes about 3-4 washes before it shows up on scan which means it tends to ripple the page.#And my yellows and oranges are drastically different colours when scanned compared to the ink colour.#There's about 20 or so comics where everyone's hair is purple - because it scanned in the exact same colour as my light grey.#Wait my book is right here in front of me so I can...yeah...Comics 57-77 were indeed purple.#This is all to say - is it not fascinating how what we see is often not the full truth of what the subject truly is?#Is it not fascinating to open another episode that reminds us that despite everyone's claims they could totally spot the evil YLLZ-#-The man walks around among them for months as no more than a man haggling for deals like the rest.#It's almost as if he's just a person. It's almost as if none of us - no matter what we do are really anything more than just a person.#Your good acts will be overtaken by how other's interpret you in negative light.#Just as easily are people willing to forgive crueler actions if they hold you in high esteem.#But what's real? Is the page I hold the real version of this comic? Is it the one you look at?#Is the man known as Wuxian the most himself when he is alone or on the battlefield?#Perhaps he is and has always been a scared orphan boy lost in the market.#I think there is no good answer to any of these questions.#But I do know that panic rising in WWX as he frantically looks for A-yuan was for more than one boy.#To be human is to have layers around a delicate center. We only really grow around our wounds from childhood.#In other words; Donkey from Shrek would also probably call Wei Wuxian an onion. I'll see myself out now.

I'm sorry but if Sami people can be understood as other-than-white and lighter featured First Nations people can be understood as other-than-white and individuals of our sisters the Romani when similarly afflicted by melanin deficiency can be understood as other-than-white....
Your classification of Jews, who span the whole gamut of color but share the racialization and experience of being othered among any majority, including whiteness in the north/west, is only further evidence of your racism. Because in doing so you continue to perpetuate double standards for Jewish people, which is dangerous when merged with perspectives that view whiteness as a merit signifier. Not that our identity isn't a fair bit older than this pretty reductive view, but
Regardless, I'll remind that the minority indigenous groups I mentioned are in the context of a white majority, but white people do not have a monopoly on colonialism. Plenty of people don't want to be called Arab in MENA and plenty of people aren't sure that they'd classify themselves as Chinese or Russian in the sense that the West views national identity. But that kind of nuance probably isn't something I should bother with if we haven't made it past point 1.
#jumblr#jewish#colonialism#imperialism#solidarity#fun fact i am So Pale in winter and assumed to be southeast asian or latina in the summer which is an interesting thing to compare#my dad is assumed lebanese usually#my brother is a redhead sort of but tans so folks are just confused but the red hair means hes usually on the euro side of assumptions#but that goes out the window when they realize oh shit this man is jewish#depends where you are#just like..... race#its almost like it only exists as a social construct and as lived experiences#you know like the way it affects Jews

my favorite type of scene is when all four of them are onstage but two of them are having a conversation for the audience to hear and the other two are silently stagecrafting whatever they want.
bonus: luke playing two characters at once while the other three play ping pong in the background
#sfth#shoot from the hip#alexander jeremy#luke manning#sam russell#tom mayo#shootimpro#the hobnob affair#clarissa's diy wedding#are there any more from the youtube longforms that im missing i feel like there's gotta be more but i couldn't think of any#it really shows off their chemistry as a group when they're able to fade in and out of 2 separate conversations happening at once#without talking over one another. like i remember doing high school theater and scenes like these had to be meticulously blocked#out on stage. and even with a script there was sort of a rhythm to the way dialogue flowed so that things made sense to the audience#and no one accidentally talked over one another. and also so that there wasn't too long of a pause between lines#so the fact that they're able to seamlessly do this while improving is so cool to me#in the suspicious creme brulee the restaurant scene specifically comes to mind. and it's Chaotic and that's part of the comedy but still#it's so fun and so impressive. anyways another case of me yapping for way longer in the tags compared to the actual text of the post lmao

I KNOW PONY SAID "OUR FATHER WAS AN ORIGINAL GUY" BUT REALLY?? SODA AND PONYBOY. NO ONE NAMES THEIR KIDS LIKE THAT (NO ONE SHOULD)
YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE NAMES SOUND LIKE? THE KIND OF NAMES A 3 YEAR OLD WOULD CHOSE.
NOW IMAGINE, 3 YEAR OLD DARREL, HOLDING HIS FATHER'S HAND AS THEY WALK INSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL ROOM. HIS FATHER HOLDS HIM UP SO HE CAN SEE HIS MOTHER IN THE BED. HE HAD BEEN EXPECTING THE BABY FOR SO LONG NOW. AND HE SEES HIM, HIS LITTLE BROTHER, ALL RED AND SMALL IN HIS MOTHER'S ARMS. HIS FATHER ASKS HIM: "THIS IS YOUR LITTLE BROTHER, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO NAME HIM?"
AND HE SAYS SODA. AND WHEN IT'S PONY'S BIRTH, IT'S SODA'S TURN TO CHOSE AND THAT KID IS SO HORSE OBSESSED HE COMES UP WITH PONYBOY.
#the outsiders#the outsiders musical#ponyboy curtis#darry curtis#sodapop curtis#curtis brothers#the curtis brothers#the outsiders 1983#the outsiders headcanons#no way an adult man wanted to name his son SODA#darrel curtis#darrel shaynne curtis jr#also the plan was to name darry after Darrel sr but since he never uses his middle name Darrel sr wrote it wrong.#they only noticed when they compared their birthday certificate and Mr. Curtis was like i swore there were two n's

The great thing about the White Collar OT3 is that at no point does the introduction of Neal into El and Peter's everyday lives never feels like a threat to Peter and El's marriage.
Like from the moment Neal shows up at their house in episode one he and El hit it off.
Within the first 5 episodes Neal and El have figured out they have similar knowledge and interest in the finer things, they're sharing looks over how Peter talks about and will react to things, El is telling Peter to trust in Neal a little, Neal is helping make sure they have a lovely anniversary, and El is calling Neal in to mediate/help prove her point in mini arguments to make Peter do stuff.
They also work really well because while Peter, El, and Neal might all be slightly different flavours and intensities of hyper competent adrenaline junkie weirdos, all three of them are intensely loyal to "their people" so the second El and Neal recognised that they both trust Peter as someone who will always try to do the right thing and respect them they were like "oh green flag."
#chirping wren#white collar#white collar ot3#elizabeth burke#peter burke#neal caffrey#its wild that peter is considered like Just Some Guy compared to them both#cause like he sorta is#he tries so hard bless his heart to just be a simple man with simple tastes and a simple life#and like he kinda succeeds#but also the dude's brain is always going#he stalked his wife prior to asking her out#he has an insane level of attention to detail when he chooses to apply it which is what makes him a brilliant white collar agent#he just struggles with connecting facts to emotions sometimes#el and neal both treat him as like their rock because he is so straightforward and upright#but also the man will leap into the most batshit situations at the drop of the hat if either of them asks him with big wet eyes#like sir that is not normal plain simple guy behaviour#so glad this show came across my dash again and got me on a rewatch#they are all so blorbo shaped and by god do i need that rn

Last part for old GF sketches
(Actually, most of these aren't old at all, but their average is brought down by the last picture, which I drew back in August and kept forgetting to post)
#fanart#drawing#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#i wish more people talked about Ford's piano skills#and his shadow puppet skills#i forgot what i was thinking when i rushed these out#something about Ford only taking pride in his skills because of how other people (ie Stanley) appreciate them#and how he attributes everything exceptional about himself to his hands bc that's where his deepest insecurities/motivations come from#but that isn't something Stan or most people think about at all#but he also IS really talented#and so he gets this big fragile ego#stemming from his mother and brother's praise#but also filbrick's neglect#so it's like outside validation is a substitute/reminder of the people that really loved him#bht also he thinks he's different from them and better than them#but he does love them#and he likes making them proud because he likes seeing them happy#maybe he doesn't know how else to make people happy#something something#Stan being his biggest supporter is a double edged sword#because his opinion matters the most and then he's gone#and Ford doesnt have anyone to show off to anymore#OR anyone who can call him a showoff when he gets too into his own head#OR the person he was pitted against in the first place that made him feel special#because- knowingly or not- they always compared themselves#idk man#Ford is an interesting guy and his head fascinates me

Thinking about how Stanley's posture is different because he's been hunched over a desk for 30 years :] *in tears*
#You see his posture when hes got a mullet and then compare it to his old man one#oh his posture is bad because hes old- NO???? you can see how he can correct it if he wants#how when he puts on a show he straightens up- like he has to do that- it aint automatic#gravity falls#stanley pines#grunkle stan#stan pines

inspired by shadow's voice lines in SA2 and that one post about being more mentally ill to get mentally well. this is my "grab that toothbrush dattebayo"
im workin on other stuff as promised but in the meantime my ass is getting beat by real life so you're going to look at this self-indulgent comic instead
#me.png#shadow the hedgehog#sonic series#sth#sonic the hedgehog#sonic comic#idk man#not ship#unrelated but sa2 shadow's voice is so unique compared to the others there's a slight accent that makes me bonkers#“neva mind that” SHADOW!!!!!! YOU SOUND LIKE MARILYN MONROE!!!!!!!#ill kill him one day for real#me when i literally drew this to cope

The way that Dick immediately passed out as soon as he sat down.



Nightwing (Vol. 2) #75
#love comparing this to donna's photo of dick where he just falls asleep in the middle of their gathering#that man is overworked and yes it's his fault but yes he's gonna just pass out when he needs to#Dick Grayson#Barbara Gordon

me when a romanced game character tell the pc they want a child (or any straight man to their partner ngl): ew.
me when garrus tells shepard about potentially finding out what a turian-human baby looks like: *giggles and goes feral* IM GOING BACK TO UNI HELL FOR YOU TWO IM GONNA STUDY BIOENGINEERING!!!
#i think it’s mostly because they can’t really conceive a child#when men say they want a kid 90% of them mean they want you to give birth to then take care of the kid#and they won’t assume any responsibility#as if they own the uterus#so i hate when a game romance tells you about wanting a child especially if it’s a MAN#‘infertile�� pairings talking about children is still weird to me but less when compared to biological compatible ships#or maybe i just hate those little devil incarnates too much lol#mass effect#shakarian#shepard x garrus#garrus vakarian#commander shepard#garrus#femshep#random thoughts#valkyrie.txt ᯓ
