The thing I never got about the fan reaction to Mel and Jayce's relationship (in general) is that people were incensed on Jayce's behalf that Mel used him for political gain, but like... that's what happens when the government sponsors your research. Obviously the funding mechanisms aren't the same because Piltover is an oligarchy where civic functions such as the Enforcers and even Zaun's ventilation system are privately funded instead of through a common pool of taxpayer money, but the purpose is the same, which is to benefit from the conclusions drawn from the results of the research.
I don't understand how anyone in the audience could be shocked or angry that when Mel, a high ranking representative of Piltover’s government, chose to invest in hextech it wasn't clear that she and Piltover would benefit. And it's not like this foreign concept to Jayce, he was originally being SPONSORED by the Kirammans', which is almost the same relationship except it's more explicitly private to the Kirammans' benefit, but I didn't see any pitchforks out for Tobias and Cassandra.
It's just such a double whammy headache to end up reading posts where Mel is hypervillainized while Jayce is practically infantilized because as an adult man in his 30s he simply can't understand complex relationships or make his own decisions. The way some fans have been offended on Jayce's behalf straight up erases any agency or even intelligence he has.
#arcane#arcane ramble#mel medarda#jayce talis#i think part of this fandom's problem with mel is the unconscious resentment fans have toward black female characters that aren’t automatic#bg cheerleaders for the main cast and have their own opinions and agendas#sometimes i remember in the artbook where an excerpt for whichever writer said the audience would realize Mel was more than#a one note villain by ep 8 but 1. disagree with the statement bcuz by then we were already given multiple moments that showed her complexity#rather than supposed villainy and 2. clearly the audience didn't#i can tell by the way this fandom treats sky they would largely prefered mel to have just been a pretty lady that gives infinite money#to jayce and viktor bcuz she loves their main protagonist energy

finally got to sit down and draw my interpretation of Penelope, queen of Ithaca, from epic: the musical
also as a bonus, her namesake duck
#epic the musical#epic penelope#so. i got a few things to say as usual when i work on a design#first i knew penelope had a namesake duck. because her name literally means duck#there's another interpretation for her name but i couldn't ignore how wholesome it is. allegedly there's a myth around it too#where she was cast away by her parents and thrown in the water but was saved by ducks who carried her to shore#so her parents accepted her back. and not gonna lie i really liked that story#so i knew i would choose a hairdo that could specifically recall the feathers of a duck. and wouldn't you know#studying greek hairstyles and accessories i saw this hairnet the women would use. that makes the hair do just that#so that was the first clear thing i had in mind for her. next i looked at her namesake duck. and seeing its patterns i knew#that i had to give her freckles. and brown hair and eyes obviously#next is about her being spartan. i know stuff could change once she married odysseus. but also i didn't want her to separate too much from#her origins. so i like to think of her as fit and simple in style#i like to think she prefers to show through words and wits (matching her husband) that she means business#not through jewelry or fancy clothes. so she sports some jewelry but not too much#i also sneaked a duck in one of her brooches. because why not#and yeah i mean. i struggled picturing her shorter or same height as odysseus. i made him a short king and you'll deal with it#my art

In Praise of Actors
The fleeting look of uncertainty on Gabe's face before letting his mother know that throwing out her medication is a great idea.
The initial terror Diana feels; turning away from Gabe's embrace before eventually succumbing.
Dan suppressing a stutter and quickly pulling back a trembling hand as he tries to get Diana to get back to bed.
Natalie's dawning realization that Henry is her happiness despite saying the contrary just then.
#next to normal#the nuances these actors bring#I am in awe#the characters feel so lived in#this is a family y'all and no one can convince me otherwise#we couldn't have asked for a better cast#I used to have 1As and 1Bs for each but the more I watch the proshot#bias aside#I find myself preferring the West End cast and production more and more#caissie levy#jamie parker#eleanor worthington cox#jack wolfe#natalie goodman#diana goodman#gabe goodman#dan goodman#musicals

something something Keebo is named after the Japanese word for "hope." something something he was the only person close to Miu. something something he says after her death that Miu had a childlike innocence. something something Miu canonically tries to act like he's just a robot but in multiple again canonical or semi-canonical universes they are essentially each other's only friends. am i getting my meaning across a little. about innocence. and hope
#i have a longer miu and keebo friendship post brewing to which this is a tangent but felt this was also important#miu iruma#danganronpa#keebo#kiibo#k1 b0#keebo is a very good if mildly misguided boy but many forget that the cast treats him like dogshit on multiple occasions#despite the fact that he saves them multiple times#rather than despair over this i prefer to think the meta reason#is that he's supposed to represent folks shitting on Kodaka's original idea#but hope is the light at the end of the tunnel folks#hope is the connecting bridge#without which there are no survivors#and it's so subtle#you don't even remember to thank it in the end

why do so many people view shipping as like something you want to "win" based on whether your ship goes canon/endgame over another. instead of just choosing whatever ship you find most enjoyable/engaging/interesting/satisfying to watch and then enjoying being engaged/interesting/satisfied... free yourselves....
#this is about all fandom but particularly 911 right now#especially seeing these two sides of the fandom react to the same episodes or even just the same cast interviews#both being like 'haha we win!' or 'haha they're losing soo bad!'#like who caaareeeesss#obviously i have my ship preference based on the ship that i enjoy most for various reasons and i'd love for that ship to be endgame#but the only winning involved is just how much i am enjoying the ship at any time not like who is the Official Best Ship#idk man just seems exhausting to be basing so much of your fandom energy on beating this like. opposition team#talking#911

we really don't talk enough about how cesare (who proclaims himself to be honorable) actually has an extreme level of self-absorption and narcissism. they jump out on different situations especially in his vindictive sexual harassment of the women he slept with for wounding his ego. like his abuse of ursula (who was deceived by his chivalrous façade) for leaving him and taking a will of her own vs. his aggressive grabbing of caterina's breast when she taunted him at his sister's wedding (shows that he's still bitter over her rejecting him at forli).
#i'm insane about every aspect of his personality and psychology like i loooove dissecting that side of him#bro could never handle any woman standing up for herself without turning to humiliation and asserting dominance i fear#like neil jordan clearly intended to romanticize him but arnaud's portrayal strives to make him more sinister and layered mwah#mind you cesare's darkness and hypocrisy is all francois' improvisations and we love him for it#the way i'm sooooo turned off by the fandom's persistent narrative of him but then i actually remember how he is and i go like...oh <3#moslty because they have spent over a decade reducing cesare to a flat “hero” by stripping away his most interesting aspects#my preference for juan among the bros is not only bc his story is moving but also bc his characterization feels very authentic and raw#and by that i mean that his misdeeds are as fleshed out as his human side which makes him extra engaging#he also doesn't have a group of fans always yassifying him mostly bc he isn't “conventionally attractive”#even though neil's intention is to make him the unappealing foil to cesare initially#but shit gets real once you cast insanely talented actors with brains like david and francois#caterina sforza#ursula bonadeo#tw abuse#tw sa#the borgias#cesare borgia#tb text post

What if the Joker was blue and orange
#better call saul#bcs#jimmy mcgill#kim wexler#howard hamlin#chuck mcgill#fanart#i don't really like this but. whatever#gonna use another program from now on because im having issues with ibis#been obsessed with doing things a very particular way on ibis and it's both time consuming and not even worth it#and i can't break out of that habit so i think i just need something new#also yay character lineup#maybe gonna do another one with the rest of the main cast if i feel like it#i just had to draw these guys first because they're my favs and i prefer the lawyer part of bcs anyway#jimmy isn't exactly in line with the others but i can't really fix it because i arranged my layers in a pretty stupid way#so just pretend it's a metaphor or something#spent way too much time trying to make chuck's gut look right i feel like a freak

Based on looks alone he'd make a great Mr. House
#mr house#mr. house#robert edwin house#robert house#fallout new vegas#the lopsided eyebrows and the dark eyes#looks way more like him than rafi silver but....... obviously casting directors don't go just off of looks#my posts#house#as a side note I'm nervous about the show#the ghoul Kings and Deathclaw scratches on the Lucky 38 make me sad#also I wonder if it's going to create an influx of Housefuckers that prefer his show version#which would be a shame since the OG is so so so good#hope it encourages people to play the game for more content and they end up liking him#also to what extent do you think they'll show him?#are they gonna reveal his whole deal??#mysteries abound! anyway what was my point?#oh yeah uh he's hot and I'd do him if you know what I mean#what did she mean by that? 🤔

Psyche, my silly story about my mental conditions and how when I am diagnosed with them, they appear as a tiny piece of myself inside my brain, inside a world where they are in a treatment center to overcome or stabilize themselves in order to benefit me and ascend outside the hospital. (To where? WHO knows! It’s just what they are promised, afterall.)
#psyche#all their nicknames that they prefer are sorta#yeah names that I myself have gone by over the course of my life#neat#my story#I love being genderfluid#a vast gender cast here
