#discord just changed too... is there like

[arcanetrivia]

The thing about Discord is that just finding a server that has the conversations you're interested in can be difficult. Privately hosted email lists had this kind of problem too, that you sometimes could only even find out they existed by word of mouth, never mind join them. Sometimes you have to know a guy who knows a guy to get a hold of an invite code that hasn't expired by the time you come across it. (I get why they made the change that you couldn't make permanent ones if you weren't a Community server, but it can be frustrating sometimes.) Official servers for $THING may be listed publicly on $THING's website, but that's not the same as a by-fans-for-fans space that will probably have a much different culture and tone. There's Disboard, but not everything is on it. The central directory of a place like Yahoo Groups (whatever their other faults), being able to find communities and people that list certain interests on LiveJournal, the generally public or at least semi-public nature of a forum that can be found by a search engine... all of these supported discoverability. (And in my current primary fandom, besides the figurative "private group chat" that a Discord server is, I know there's some significant activity in literal private group chat. So unless you can somehow get admitted to a pre-existing group of friends, welp.)

IRC as a synchronous chat platform/protocol was there for a long time alongside (and is still in some cases, even with the ascendancy of Discord), and a lot of that ephemeral stuff has been lost unless people kept logs. But we're in a situation now where pretty much all there is, is the ephemeral, be it Discord, Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon, Facebook (seems to actively work against finding and keeping up on what you want), Instagram (somehow even worse; my beloathed). DeviantArt worked decently well for a while, but every time they messed up site changes and policies in a way that angered artists, there was an exodus (similar to the waves of exodus from LiveJournal until now it's a ghost town unless you're Russian). Pillowfort... exists... but I am skeptical it's ever going to gain critical mass, even if Tumblr does completely go under one of these days.

And Tumblr itself... is better than nothing, but of course we all know how hard it can be to find things on because a lot of the older stuff isn't even indexed; and its structure really doesn't support coherent threaded conversation; and it's a bit too-little-too-late on their introduction of LJ/DW-style communities, which people here now don't seem to want.

(Semi-aside, not to be a Fandom Old, but re: reblogging/reposting, I see how such a thing can be a boon for those who really don't want to participate even on the level of an occasional comment here and there, but fandom was doing fine without such a feature on email lists, forums, LiveJournal. People actually were pretty annoyed when LJ tried to introduce a reposting-style feature, which was pretty clunky. The site hadn't been conceived with that sort of ecosystem in mind and it was rather grafted on. Think how people keep rejecting Tumblr's attempts at a short-form video feature: "Stop trying to be X other site and just be what you are! We're here because we want what is unique about this place!")

....sorry, I think I went on a bit of a pointless ramble there 😅

imo a discord server should be like a breakout room for fandom. like the place to run your wips by your besties or discuss your otp in more detail with a few people who were insane about it on your post or organise events with a handful of trusted mutuals etc etc. if it’s where ALL the fandom activity is going to happen it will inevitably foster a cliquey environment where the fandom is divided into “those in the server” and “those who aren’t”, lurking is disincentivised if not made outright impossible, people who feel uncomfortable joining in conversations and would rather interact with fandom through reblogging etc are largely excluded because there’s no repost mechanism, and the fandom itself becomes an enclosed space so new fans are limited in how much content and meta they can access without having to make the plunge into Joining The In Group, there’s limited scope for interaction between different communities within the same fandom, god it’s just an altogether dogshit stupid idea. what if we moved all fandom activity to really massive private groupchats. STUPID

[gingerylangylang1979]

I knew it was going to be bad.

I only watched the first episode, got season three vibes, checked spoilers and then dipped out. Same as season three, I will finish it eventually but it def lost the must see tv urgency I had for the first two seasons.

I’m not even sure why I still considered this my favorite show after season two, TBH. I didn’t like that season as much as everyone else and could already feel a slide in quality and direction. I guess I still had hope they could get back to season one magic but they never did and never had intentions to.

I truly believe Storer did only want three seasons. Four seasons was a stretch and season three was total filler. Think about it, what was gained in season three that couldn’t have just been skipped and pick up right where season four does? The Claire romance plot line still feels like an afterthought to me. You’re telling me she was mentioned zero times in season one but she is so integrated with the Berzatto family? I would not be surprised if they just decided to give Carmy a generic romance to ride the popularity of Jeremy as a sex symbol. I could have invested if it felt earned but they literally gave him the bland girl next door that heals him trope. At least have it be someone who challenges him and adds depth to the story. But that would be Syd, so nope. They literally went we just need the “sweet girl” to steal his heart (and half his brain cells since he ignored the restaurant with her on his mind for two seasons).

This show went way too typical Hollywood and I felt it happening season two. The whole aesthetic style changing and including a TS song signaled it to me. Storer got a big budget and accolades and sunk what made this show work in the beginning.

People aren’t even really giffing it. My Discord is silent. Ooof. Didn’t think it would be worse than season three but here we are.

TRANSSEMIVERBAL TIPS (≡・x・≡) from a cissv

flag from transid.org !

TIPS UNDER THE CUT (ﾟ〇ﾟ)

WHAT iS A SEMiVERBAL PERSON ? ┐(´д｀)┌

The term semiverbal and semispeaking usually refer to individuals who have limited COMMUNICATION and SPEECH

It is important to point that if validation is important for your transition people will not deem you as nonverbal is you engage too much in conversation and social skills actually count too for the average public perception. Which brings us to the next topic.

SEMiVERBAL ONLiNE vs REAL LiFE ! (〃´o｀)=3

Something I, as a sv creature, notices to lack in tips is the hard truth that for validation offline you need to be and/or act "more severely neurologically disabled" than online. In current research on autism, semispeech is directly linked with autism levels 2 and 3. So i'd advice on being even more self aware of your presentation if you desire validation from non-educated adults.

TiPS FOR DAY 2 DAY LiFE (｡-ω-)

Don't speak with advanced language and words !

If you are verbal and specially hyperverbal already DO NOT just change next day !! This, unfortunately, causes a lot of suspecting. Instead, slowly transition as it IS ctually possible to naturally change your speech capacity !!

No need for baby talk !

Semiverbal comes in many ways but i'd strongly advice against transitioning with "baby-like talk" if you are chronologically an adult or older teen.

Use an AAC ! My app is Cboard AAC, it is simple and has a wider variety of languages for those who are not living in an english speaking country !

You can use discord custom emojis for dealing with dysphoria. There are plenty of discord emojis around tumblr :)

This may seem weird (?) But it works for me when i have SHUTDOWNS that include no speech at all ... learn basics of sign language and teach it to your closest friends and family (can help with non mouth communication)

Not speaking can be hard at first so don't forget to let those need out whdn you are by yourself

Semispeech is also about social and communication skills so try not to engage first in conversations and learn to enjoy some "self time"

I don't know a lot more so that's what i have for now! Hope it helps someone out there kay baii

[hitmyvape]

the idea of an "internet artist" is so antiquated now... by necessity pretty much any artist with a modicum of success now has to engage with the internet, be a "net artist". in the past ive found myself rly dismissive of songwriting that is too much about like discord servers and twitter and other online bullshit but i feel myself shifting about that lol. its the single running current thru most everyones lives now so of course people write about it! i think i just have problems engaging with the modern internet and, like scorpia whom i was posting about last night longing for the days of posting on SIG forums thru compuserve, i (reactionary) feel scared n detached from the modern internet at times. ahh things are changing and i dont understand my place in things! i still think much songwriting about online is corny and gauche but it doesnt HAVE to be yknow? it doesnt have to be...

[riteliso]

S01E03

New day, let's jam. I woke up feeling a lot better than yesterday, so if I'm less manic and more easy to comprehend I sincerely apologize.

fucking horse that I hate stupid fucking horse that I hate WHY COULDNT YOU HAVE STAYED LIKE THIS

This is a bad establishing shot, but I bet it looked great as a storyboard

Best laid plans of mice and men, yanno?

It makes brightmoon look tiny, like it's one singular castle

And honestly we never fully escape that feeling, some of the kingdoms just feel a little wonky and empty. Most of them, really.

Why's she have an accent? If you're immortal it makes you british?

Fuck, imagine being british FOREVER.

Fuck

God

Jesus christ

Horrific

mf openin and closin the door like it's fnaf 4

for the record I'm too old to like fnaf

I mean I'm not, I'm very specifically within the age range that was obsessed with it while it was coming out, but I thought I was better than all my peers so I never got into it

Chicks hated me because this was when I thought I was a BOY who was better than everyone, now that I'm a girl who thinks she's better than everyone chicks dig it

The subtitles on the version I'm watching this time around suck because I don't trust netflix to keep anything good on their service and also pirated stuff is easier to stream over discord but I actually have important stuff to say here

The part of the line missing is "Can we keep her?"

Glimmer is, like, a dick.

Now, Glimmer does not KNOW the specifics of the history between Catra and Adora, and in fact I don't get the impression she learns THAT much of it from Adora at ALL. I think she learns more of it from Catra. That has its own implications, but that's not really what I'm talking about.

Adora has been witness many times to Shadow Weaver telling her more-than-best friend things like "I've kept you around because Adora was fond of you." If you believe the extra-canon, the canon-plus, Catra was found BY Adora in a BOX. Quite literally a "Can we keep her" situation.

I don't think Adora is worried she's about to be treated how she saw Catra being treated, because I don't think she saw the worst of how Catra was treated by people besides Shadow Weaver. I don't think it's a "You can't treat me like Zuko!" moment.

But this is actually a pretty serious thing for her. She's being told, here and now, justify your existence. You leave the room, it's pitchforks and torches. You stay, it's literally the evil princess you were told was the worst thing in the world with sharp teeth that gave you nightmares that will be passing judgment on your damned soul.

THAT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE REMOVING ALL YOUR AGENCY AND TELLING YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FUCKING DO.

That's a job for Catra

how did you even fuck up this badly you had to stand there and say words

It's like watching your hot friend fumble a goth chick WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT SONGS CUT FROM MUSICALS SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT HER CATS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GOTH CHICK

Ah yes, the Spider-man 2002 "Go web go, yee haw, shoot web," scene.

I was raised on that movie. My first kiss was under a spider-man blanket. With a chick I hated that hated me. Nothing has changed and I never recovered. No I don't remember why we kissed. It was after soccer practice.

I don't fucking like him

WOAH wait a moment who's she I don't remember her howsit goin when ya free

Her secret is she is BEGGING for a candle lit dinner where I apologize for my actions

This is something I kinda have trouble with. People kinda don't really treat Lonnie like the piece of shit that she kinda is. Like sure, it's a shame that Rogelio gets roped into being on her squad and run ragged later, but I don't honestly feel much sympathy for Lonnie being on the receiving end of Catra's abuse because, like-- the girls are fighting. The girls are always fighting. Does anybody deserve to be abused at any point? No. But Catra's been abused by Lonnie plenty, and Lonnie's been abused by Catra plenty. They've both, as far as I can tell, always used whatever leg up they can get on each-other to be a BITCH to the other one. They're both insipid bullies.

OH and I don't feel bad for Kyle not because he deserves anything bad but because I have chosen not to feel empathy for Kyle. It was an active choice and one that I thoroughly enjoy

But yeah, here's where we kinda get a peek that it's not just Shadow Weaver who has it out for Catra. It's kinda-- MOST people. And if you're already neurotic enough to think that someone as declawed and toothless as KYLE could ever be out to get you, it feels very scarily affirming when there really ARE a bunch of people out to get you.

Razz is really cool, honestly. A very good take on a very played-out trope. She's not all-knowing like a lot of cryptic old woman mentors are, she's just A LOT knowing. She's not unflinching, she's very capable of being scared or upset, and she has her own emotional struggles that we don't see much of until way later.

It's very good to see a trope you're so used to get so much life breathed into it by creative people who want to use every part of their story to its fullest.

Right, so, small and very specific gripe.

This shit is kinda important, yanno? That Etheria is floating in the middle of fucking nowhere. A nowhere so fast it was given a name despite being a complete absence.

But Etheria has like 80 moons in its establishing shot and we still see day and night-time. It doesn't FEEL as DESPONDENT as it should, in my opinion. It's too beautiful. Everything is too close to okay.

Is a life without stars living? No. Is a life without stars living when you've never seen the stars but have seen like 80 moons? Fuck yeah it is that sounds fine

Really the space themes in general could have used a spit-shine. We get lots of the good shit in the final season, yeah, but early on it feels like too much of a non-issue. If space was empty, it'd feel like more of a fuckin issue. But everything about Etheria is beautiful and seemingly unflinching. It needs more. It needs to hurt.

fuck this fuck that fuck me fuck you fuck everyone here and everybody else too

This bed is what Adora's back looks like literally all the time

Tiny little baby threatening to run away when she has nowhere to go

Where you gonna run, huh? Into the loving arms of your girlfriend? LIKE A FUCKING LOSER? THAT'S PRACTICALLY ADMITTING YOU WERE WRONG, DUMBASS, YOU CAN'T DO THAT

She really does still believe in a better future where she has agency and gets to make decisions at this point

Losing Adora really does mean she loses everything, she only gets respect when she's by her side. We finally get to see people who love and support her without Adora being there later, but that's people who seemingly never even MET Adora. The whole sidekick lancer complex is very understandable honestly.

I'm not biased

Also for the record Adora was still right to leave, even if she did know the full extent of how Catra is treated when she's not around. It just still sucks.

That's a lie but it's very nice of you to have said it

We kidnapping unicorns now? Is that something we're doing? Sure, I guess, why not

Fuck it

Unidentified fucking thing

GET IT

We've heard Adora's leitmotif plenty since I first mentioned it, but here's where we really start hearing the smooth brass soundfont that makes it sound so heroic

I'm not sure if that soundfont version of it ever shows up when she's Adora not She-ra but I'll keep an ear out

Tell him to shut the fuck up and that I hate him

Lonnie said this bitch was 12 feet tall as fuckin IF

She's like 8'9" WITH the boots on and she SAYS she's 9 feet tall

AND THAT'S IF WE'RE BEING GENEROUS

I just love this face of "oh god oh fuck is this gonna be a normal ass whooping or am I gonna be losing some fingers"

PARALLELS

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICED THEM

BUT YOUR BRAIN DID

IT'S LIKE POETRY IT RHYMES

ET

CETERA

When ya have dual leads you get to do a lot of parallels they're fun

ALRIGHT SO

Here's how we're doing things, right? We're gonna go one episode at a time, and I'm gonna give my thoughts whenever they come up. This is a train of thought type beat, alright? Unlike my usual grandstanding authorial and analytical self, this re-watch is purely for the rant factor. If you don't know me, and you just happened upon this thread because you like reading she-ra rewatches, hello. I'm a writer from Canada who found she-ra in 2025 and is currently on her sixth watch through. From that, hopefully you can discern that I like this show, even if I'm likely gonna criticize parts of it. We good to go? Good. We start with S01 E01.

RIGHT, THE SWORD PART 1! A zoom in, with an angelic singing being drowned out by digital bloopy fright zone vibes, and then Adora being a fuckin dweeb as her leitmotif plays in a decidedly crystiline synth-y tone.

Now, what do we learn from this? This, aside from one gripe I'll have more to speak on later, is an excellent introduction. With the music alone we're essentially taken from the beauty of the planet, the overwhelming dread of the fright zone, and then into a hopeful tune that isn't FREE from these sort of digital themes in the music, but is very defined and separate FROM them.

This isn't gonna be one of those things where I praise literally every single fuckin thing so keep your panties on, I'm not gonna full-on overanalyzing avatar this shit, but the most important parts of a story are the beginning and the ending.

Now, when I say that, I am speaking pragmatically. Every part of every story is important-- but when it comes to what people remember, what they love, what they never shut up about-- it's the start and the end. You need to nail the take-off and the landing, people will forget the turbulence from the rest of the trip.

Now, what does THIS bitch's intro tell us about her? Well, a lot, honestly. Most of what we know about Adora at this point is she plays by the rules, but she is a notably goofy person. She's goofy, but she's unwilling to goof-OFF too much.

And while we get a taste of the rivalry they have instantly, with "That's low, even for you." "You know nothing's too low for me~"

We instantly see that that is not the CORE of their relationship.

I'd like to praise the voice direction in this show for the first of many times here. The voice actors do amazing work in this, and the direction can be felt throughout.

"Come on, you look stupid hanging there" can obviously be a seen as a strange first line to show the warmth these two share, but the inflection from Catra's voice actor, AJ Mikalcha, makes it read as downright sweet.

Also don't get used to me using names of the crew besides ND Stevenson because I'm so awful with names I was still calling Catra Katara half the time on my second re-watch and I was like 90% of the way to realizing I kinned her at that point

Also don't make fun of me for kinning Catra there's no RESPONSE to people making fun of you for kinning Catra THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU SEEM MORE LIKE FUCKING CATRA OKAY

Anyway, the following scene makes it clear that this is not a one-way dynamic. The two banter, and it's clear Adora knows how to get under Catra's skin and annoy her as well. This is notable in a few places MUCH further on, but it is a difference worth highlighting NOW.

Once Adora leaves, Catra's primary goal is still to get under her skin. She's angry about it, she's mean about it, but she's still just doing what she's always done. The relationship between the two doesn't actually change as much as the context does. I'd say the relationship itself doesn't change much until the final season, at a scene I'm sure I'll have a lot to say about.

On the flip-side, Adora's goal when it comes to Catra is simply to fight her off. But that's not all there is. At points, it's clear that Adora holds some sort of REVERENCE for Catra, and while Catra is very capable of very mean things, don't get me wrong, Adora sees Catra as more of a threat than she realistically is.

At a few moments I'll point out she also relishes in getting under Catra's skin, but admittedly those are few and far between.

People have gone over this introduction billions of times, so I won't BORE you to death with it, but Shadow weaver's introduction does hint at a lot of what we'll learn later. I think it's very notable that while Shadow weaver brings a dark gloom that encompasses both our leads, her vile tendrils only dare to touch Catra. We learn the specifics of the dynamic these three have later, but it is a very unique and terrible situation to be the least favourite of an abusive guardian. Especially if you are repeatedly reminded of that fact.

I'm not gonna go over all the body language shit I've seen other text posts about it there's plenty of them a lot of focus in this show goes into tiny details where characters are constantly reacting to the world around them, and very rarely do we get lame stretches where anyone's face is just frozen and unflinching while they listen to someone else.

with all due respect to the setting at this point in time the bright moon rebellion is so pathetically anemic it's the two teens, some movie night lesbians, an immortal princess queen, and a bunch of fucking trees.

And you'd think the one carrying the team would be THE IMMORTAL PRINCESS QUEEN, BUT NO, ITS THE FUCKING TREES DOING ALL THE GOD DAMNED WORK

This introduction is fine. I don't particularly like it, nor have any strong feelings about it. It establishes the relationship between glimmer and her mother, but besides that it doesn't honestly do much. And don't come at me with "Uh, all it needs to do is establish that relationship?" Yeah, no shit, but we just had a better introduction to our other lead characters. And yes, those are the MAIN leads, the sort of heart of the show, but that doesn't mean that the other characters are unimportant. Glimmer's development later on is truly interesting, and Bow becomes a massively inspiring character. Fun jokey times are fine or whatever to show that they're immature and don't know the first thing about war, in contrast to our full-blown child soldiers raised from birth in the fright zone, but we really don't learn anything particularly INTERESTING about our best friend squad compadres in their intro, nor do we really see any of it until episode 2, to be frank.

This is something we don't actually see much of-- Catra has this ideal of being a conqueror, but it's very clear that she doesn't want that. Her threats are vapid and aimless-- She can enjoy some chaos, sure, but a shit-stirrer isn't gonna use that feces to build brick shithouses that they never intend to fall.

I think this should have been elaborated on more, personally. Catra is comically terrible with authority, and her plan, as stated later, is to wait it out until her and Adora are the ones calling the shots. But we don't really see what she thinks conquering even looks like, and it's not clear whether that's that she hasn't even imagined it and just likes evil words, or if she genuinely wants to rule with Adora as her Queen.

I gravitate towards the first, but that's partially because I wake up and post shit like "I want to destroy the world and rule its dust" and then forget I posted it when someone likes it 5 minutes later. If she do, in fact, as studies point toward, "be just like me fr," then I fully understand. If not, then I'd like to understand.

aw :(

Fuckin dweeb pulling the "my mom doesn't want me hanging out with you anymore" card

HA! Ah, what a bitch. Anyway, she's lashing out, but it's also quite tragic. A lot of people seem to think Adora IS, in some way, a people pleaser, but in reality she just has such an ingrained and violent sense of justice that she wants to right every wrong she has ever and will ever come across. She believes her validity is tied to what she can provide to the world, and she's got a natural sense of charisma, so it's natural for someone who refuses to blend in and naturally tends to put people off like Catra to have this view of her.

In reality, Adora is just-- a good person. And people LIKE good people. She's not a good person with an asterisk-- a good person with terms and conditions-- someone who falls into the definition of a good person while feeling and being treated like something else. Catra is the "a tomato is a fruit" of good people. Adora is just, like, a 1 dollar costco hotdog of a woman. An inarguable good treading water on this earth, no matter how hard it tries to pull her under.

Imagine falling for a brat with mad hops, like a fucking 50 foot vertical, you say you're too tired to play their favourite board game and they go hang out on your neighbour's roof, couldn't be me. Get fucked I guess

Yeah this is sad. Empathy is very much a learned skill, and people who don't learn empathy don't GET happy FOR people. Catra's not a complete person yet. She's not ready to be. That doesn't happen for a really long time, during an exceptionally long manic spiral. We'll get there, calm down, don't think about how far away that is and how much I've already yammered on.

Anyway, if you find yourself getting jealous or annoyed instead of getting happy for people, consider empathy isn't what you thought it was, and that you might still need to work on yourself.

fucking porno framing. Immensely sexual image, really. These bitches violently gay I suppose, I think I'm picking up on that during this sixth re-watch.

Buddy you got no idea how many problems those two already have you literally lose your little tiara at some point I think it ends up in the middle of a tree in space or something it's kinda unclear

Adora elbows her square in the nose during this so to everyone accusing Catra of physical abuse I just want it to be clear that Adora started it :/

Actually I'd like to retract that joke immediately because I know how people get about these two

My feelings are that they are literally child soldiers who were likely raised sparring each-other.

I was raised sparring other children and I ended up fine! Not for war, for Karate. And I didn't end up fine. And neither did they. Anyway, my point isn't even specifically that because this is sci-fi fantasy it's ridiculous to hold real life standards to it, it's more-so that because it's sci-fi fantasy there's extenuating circumstances that are going to affect how these two characters treat each-other. I'll go into hotter takes later, I'm sure, and get people to send me plenty of death-threats, but I'm gonna go into the nuances of exactly what forms Catra's abuse takes, and how it differs given by the separate circumstances we're shown the two in throughout the show.

my girl when I'm tryna live my best life playing as blue toad in mario 3d world

also holy shit we're only like halfway through this I am an AGONIZING yapper jesus fuck

Okay, what to say about lighthope-- well, their first words are "balance must be restored," far before they say Adora's name, so it somewhat lays out their secret priorities for us there. Besides that, I dunno, they got circuits on them? I don't have particularly strong feelings about lighthope, nor their introduction. I think they serve the setting and are written well, I just subjectively am not a sucker for the way they be. Their friendship with Mara is cute tho

I was gonna point out this is cute and how often I do this exact brat tactic but instead we data moshin, nothin wrong with a little data moshin, I'm down

This is the only reason she even wears a ponytail I'd stake my fuckin life on it

Once she leaves the fright zone that thing's fucking vestigial like a tailbone or having "any pronouns" in your bio when it's pretty clear you're very much a "she/they" type of bitch by now

glimmer why don't your windows have glass

or alternatively

how the fuck do you open and close that window

you can absolutely fucking hear her from this distance what on earth are you trying to pull

you a pillow princess tho how many of those arrows are just hitatchi magic wands attatched to a stick with duct-tape after the series ends do you think

The fuck you mean BOTTOM drawer we lookin at left and right here

or is this similar to my pillow princess comment and she's just addressing him and giving him an order

"Bottom; drawer."

It's established later on that he's a tech wiz but at this point in time they don't really give us much to lead us to the fact that he made that fucking thing

she's a freak

yes it's very sweet that she sleeps this way but I don't think it's some bdsm powerplay thing or anything like that, which would honestly be more tolerable, I think she's just like that

like how the way I'd sit in high school was to get two chairs and face them toward each-other then sit cross-legged across both

even if there weren't enough chairs to go around

people would sit on the FLOOR because I wanted to sit criss-cross-applesauce across two chairs, they wouldn't even ask for one of my chairs

also since I was sitting, again, cross-legged, it would have made more sense for ME to sit on the floor

I mean I think I got asked ONCE for one of the chairs and I just said "fine" but besides that people just let me sit on my fuckin throne

She really is kinda dumb, though. Like I ain't complaining, it's a character trait, but like obviously even if just you get in trouble Catra's gonna get blamed, you've seen it like at least once a month for your whole entire life

Mind you, can't really have Catra for the next part, because Catra's reaction to Bow and Glimmer wouldn't be "just let me have the sword" it'd be murder

oh wow we hit the image limit looks like we're doing TWO SEPARATE POSTS FOR THE VERY FIRST EPISODE YEE-HAW!!!!! THIS IS GOING TO TAKE ME FUCKING FOREVER

[the-nothing-maker]

Me the second anything changes: why does it Look Like That

[voidedtea]

[ID in alt]

my pieces for @strawberrij's thespius fashion zine!! quite the endeavour and adventure that turned out pretty neat i think :]

special thanks go to @ratchetclankarecute for posing/cloth references + the bulk of the image descriptions! that first image would Not have happened without them <3

[fumifooms]

What if we were both magic prodigies and it otherized us in different ways and we devoted ourselves to protecting a family member who has general other goals & priorities. What if we both did self-sacrifical devotion in opposite ways.

What if we were dark mirrors of each other and where I've grown overcontrolling you've grown complacent. What if, bought as a servant into a pretty loving home, ownership and control is what love looks like to me, and to you neglected and lonely growing up, love is gratefully taking any scraps of it you’re lent.

By belonging to someone, even if she comes back injured or fails at finding Delgal, she feels like she belongs and is cherished, by owning someone he feels safe in them not leaving him.

She’s what’s tethering him do you see… And he’s the only thing giving her direction and purpose in her state. She needs a compass and he needs a support.

They’re both so out of it 😭 It’s the weirdly intense and unearned mutual trust and reliance on each other?? They’re each other’s weird little comfort codependent teddy bear. Or at least they were headed towards that before SHE DIED THEN HE DIED THEN THEY BOTH FORGOT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND NEVER MET EVER AGAIN. Though she’s also the guard attack hound keeping him safe… And vice versa he heals her and can rewrite her very being with just one wave of his hand. They’re both so so mentally and physically vulnerable both but they cling onto each other. They can’t perceive things accurately but despite it all someway somehow they stumble into something closer to resembling companionship just before they both die. Falin is just that kind and Thistle is just that lonely. Overworked.

We both haven’t lived for ourselves in a very long time, haven’t we.

They both have a similar devotion to the people they love but again the difference is that Thistle starts overtsepping while Falin is self-effacing. The other difference between them is that people care about Falin <3 People have given up on Thistle long ago, and he has given people reasons to, while people refuse to give up on Falin. Yaad has a mini arc about it dw about it it’s ok he’s not all alone in the end 😭😭 He reached out for Marcille’s hand but they already all wanted to help him, they just had to be given the chance to, Yaad just had to be given the chance to, it’s okay I’m okay

Hey what if we learned to get in touch with our own identity and the world around us and living in the present again through being in the worst codependent situationship ever.

Falin and Thistle sitting in a tree, sucking on flowers together because they’re h-u-n-g-r-y 💕💕💕

I bet he’s only ever thought of flowers as useless ornaments. Weak weeds. But she shows him they’re tasty and useful and good and pretty in their own right too and deserve existing without proving their worth and waaa <33 Thistles…... Did you know thistles taste sweet if you remove the thorns and eat them?

"Even as a chimera, her kind nature remains" you can’t suppress her in the way that matters. You can’t soothe him in the way that matters. It’s doomed. You’re doomed. It’s all doomed. Save me.

Based on this meme ofc

Me and the homie have an ongoing in-joke that discord loves to bother mayor mare cause like yk Celestia asked her to watch over twilight, and then later is like “so hey I’m thinking about maybe sending discord to live here among a good community-“ and she’s like “oh god why I am not paid enough for this” and discord just constantly files complaints and interrupts meetings dramatically since he’s bored and the only way he can properly contact Celestia like any normal citizen is through formal letter bureaucracy

I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."

saiki has absolutely no social media until aiura forces him to get it and makes all his accounts for him, and he just lets it happen and doesnt change it (except for taking out the "mikos bf<3" she put in every single bio)

so all his accounts look really dumb and the bios have things like "literally elsa from frozen" "number one twilight sparkle kinnie" "cringefail boyloser (but hot)" "im an inside cat"

location- "the magical land of equestria" "freddy fazbears pizzaria"

my thoughts/therories after playing deltarune chapter 3 before i play chapter 4

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!! ⬇️

tenna is a lot like mettaton, obviously not exactly but still some similarities. the whole quiz show bit, and a cooking show as well [though very different], the suit he wears is also exactly like the one mettaton wore during the news segment. his final battle involved having to make the numbers go up, just like mettaton's. the overworld music for tv land was also similar [to me at least] to death by glamour. now that i think about this im remembering there was also a point early on where the mtt news jingle played [but it was just the beginning notes on loop without going into the showtime motif]

at the end when susie said we should ask around town who wants a tv, my mind immediately went to mettaton. as we know in this universe he is still a shy ghost, alphys is a teacher not a scientist/inventor. but even if the roles are different everyones personalities seem the same, so wouldn't mettaghost love to have a tv? there's even a dialog in chapter 2 where he asks for you to bring him something entertaining.

so then the knight comes and knocks tenna off the cliff, is he dead? i dont think so, i still feel like that mettaton "bring me something entertaining" bit has to be related to tenna. mettaton in undertale was inspired to become a celebrity because he watched human tv shows or movies. it HAS to be tenna right?!?!

anyway about the knight, it's OBVIOUSLY got to be dess. they had the same antlers as noelle. plus the room toriel was in was covered in snow with a christmas tree. dess is missing, where has she been? creating dark fountains apparently. noelle will come back and confront her at some point.

if it's not dess, then it might be her mom [who i still think is clarice NOT carol] but idk, we hear all this stuff about dess and how shes missing/gone or whatever, but all we know about their mom is that she's the mayor, and she's "preparing for the festival". now is she actually preparing? or is she going around opening dark worlds? idk personally i feel like dess is more likely.

now onto toriel. she was sitting in the throne from undertale, and also had a crown. i wonder if we will see a dark world asgore if he will also look royal?

now, the way chapter 3 ended, toriel was asleep and ralsei was hurt on the ground. i dont know if ralsei will be in the main party in chapter 4 because he seemed to be hurt, and he kept saying all that "im not real" stuff, which makes me wonder like is he actually going to DIE? i dont think so. i think he will be fine, but he just won't be in most of chapter 4, maybe come back at the end like im ok guys thanks for helping or whatever. because also in the trailers i think it just showed kris and susie, and there was also something with noelle playing her game in chapter 2 saying the mage left the party so idk maybe that was foreshadowing.

but what i think WILL happen, is that toriel will wake up and she will see ralsei, and think he's asriel, or have some kind of like "omg you look like my son" moment.

i dont think undyne will be in the party in chapter 4. idk... the undertale characters already got their time to shine in their own game. but i wouldnt be mad if she did.

ok before i forget to mention it, tenna kept mentioning mike as his like cameraman or assistant or whatever, and spamton ALSO mentioned a mike. and i think at one point tenna or someone else in ch3 mentioned a salesman. so did spamton used to be from the tv world and somehow got into the cyber world? they have to know eachother... i didn't find the secret boss [im assuming it has something to do with the game where kris went alone in the room, but i couldnt figure it out so i just went through the game normally and figured id look it up later] so i know NOTHING i dont know who they are or if they have any sort of connection to jevil or spamton or seam or whoever.

oh yeah 1 more thing, here's my silly unrelated to the lore theory. in chapter 1 rouxls had no hat, chapter 2 he had a pirate hat, now chapter 3 he had a chef hat. he's going to get a different hat in every chapter [if hes even in chapter 4 because i dont know if itll even be silly i mean right now it seems so ominous]

i cant think of anything else, im taking a break but i'll make another post like this after i beat chapter 4
