#strange and weird rambles

[stormgated]

diviners with lichtenberg figures. pyromancers with ashes on their hands. thaumaturges surrounded by snowflakes. conjurers that don’t show up quite right in photos. theurgists hands always being stained green. necromancers with distant shadows behind their eyes. sorcerers that always know the flow of time.

wizards that get more Weird the more they study magic. send tweet.

starting to feel like part of the reason that Sam and Celia's romance thing feels a little off rn is cuz like. what do you mean they're actually dating. he asked her on a date and she said yes. and it's working out so far. it's chill and fine. what do you mean they're not pining for 4 seasons, not communicating, and then getting together only after one of them walked through hell to drag the other out and make sure they know they're loved and wanted. they haven't even patched each other's wounds yet hello. aren't y'all moving a little fast.

2024 art summary! it sure has been a year

[phoenixkaptain]

I love the relationship between Ra’s and Tim in the Red Robin run because it reads fundamentally as an unrequited crush. Between an old man who is so rich he will never spend all his wealth, a man who is considered to be charming in the same way a snake is, a man who is more powerful than the majority of other villains just on the strength of his legacy alone.

And.

A seventeen-year-old boy who has not slept in three days since the last time someone drugged him, has not showered in three weeks unless you count being thrown into a river, has not cleaned his room since he was three and his parents still payed attention to him.

And when I tell you which one has the crush on the other, that’s it, that’s the ultimate punchline, DC may never reach these peaks of comedy ever again.

there are a Million ways to be a system. don't limit yourself or Restrict your idea of them too harshly. speak to multiple systems if you want better references for depicting them (or just to know how they work) because every system is different and unique

why can't i enjoy things like a normal person? casually, just a few episodes/chapters here and there, then move on with my life. but no, whatever it is, it worms its way into my brain, consumes my thoughts and it slowly drives me insane. i am unable to think about anything else but the Thing of the week, or month, sometimes year(s) if it gets that bad.

Nightwing: Brothers In Blood is such a fucking hilarious comic for DickJay content, given the bulk of the plot is Jason deciding to dress up as Nightwing and kill people which, Dick predictably is not fond of, as a concept.

There's so much in that arc that makes me unwell. Dick straight up saying he wishes Jason had died. The way they instantly banter when they run into each other before Dick gets mad at Jason for dressing up as Nightwing, then Jason begs Dick to work with him.

But what I think gets me the most is the outright confirmation of how even now, Jason still has a serious case of hero worship for Dick and just wants to be like him and get his approval.

There's such a complex Jason has over Dick and it makes me Unwell. Jason identifying with Dick, wanting his attention, his approval. His love, even. I mean, later on when Jason gets kidnapped, in his mind he hallucinates Dick talking to him and it outright confirms he wants Dick to save him and Jason has a doomsday spiral about Dick not saving him, through his mental image of Dick.

Jason wants Dick in his life, there's so much unrequited love and weirdness between them. They're so not normal about each other. Later on he sends Dick a note saying he just wishes they could be family again and I think it's so unhinged of Jason. Dressing up as Dick, just because of how much he loves and respects Dick. So much potential in that.

Also aside from all of that complex this comic is also hilarious for the bit it has where Dick accidentally takes a job as a model and has to dress up as Nightwing, specifically Jason!Nightwing because of the sex appeal Cheyenne (the woman Dick is seeing) thinks it has. And when he's on the runway and sees Jason in the audience he just jumps at Jason, in front of everyone, to beat the shit out of him, while dressed as Nightwing. Which the public thinks is a planned stunt to bank on the weird Sexy Rivalry between the two Nightwings currently running around. It's the most unhinged thing and I think it's so funny. Dick's sort-of-girlfriend makes him dress up as Nightwing!Jason because she thinks it's hot and it'll sell, then Dick beats Jason up in front of everyone, still dressed as Nightwing (specifically Jason), and it reads as a sexy performance modeling piece.

Imagine being so weirdly homoerotic about your sort of kind of brother figure that you can't hesitate fighting him when you're supposed to be modeling and everyone thinks the tension is so good it's a part of the show. These two cannot leave each other alone with their weird tangled feelings for each other. I love it dearly.

That new blurb sure is.. something!! This is getting more and more genuinely absolutely absurd.

At least Moonpaw x Starlingpaw doesn’t seem it’ll be a thing.. only because we have Moonpaw x Nightsun kit! Oh joy . Only not mortified because this is the first time actually in Ages that a cat has found a love interest within their own home clan?? Which is actually Notable by now. What I ACTUALLY care about is Moonpaw and Voicepaw. How exactly does Voicepaw ‘torture’ her. Maybe by playing pop music on repeat in her head for all we know. Please give the ghost tethered to one single cat who is desperately lonely any amount of empathy

Tawnypelt’s whole situation drives me insane why did they have to massacre tigerheartstar to do it man!! He’d never act like this!! He took his son seriously when he shared what he thought was starclan visions, he defended him, why would he not do that for his mother?? Everything we’ve seen him of him prior would suggest he’d do anything for his family. Even the Birchfeather nonsense I can kind of wave away as making sense with his character if I squint, but ‘Nuh uh shut up about the prophecy MOM’ is just comically evil of him for no reason. If twolegs are clearly destroying the clans and his mom, who has gotten prophecies before, gets one, why on earth would he shut her up about it??

Oh and Starlingpaw is there. His Two Sentences of blurb crack me up. He comes across as so self important there?? ‘Only I, Starlingpaw, 16 year old boy, can save the world!’ That’s nice .who are you again

Yknow what feels ether most Odd actually. It’s if you put the blurb for this third book after the first one, you could very easily say they’d come directly after each other. Absolutely Nothing changes between the second and third books based off their blurbs!! So basically Tawnypelt flounders around with nobody taking her seriously for an entire book!!! Either Hidden Moon and or Chasing Shadows are gonna be a dragggg with nothing happening, unless the Erins discover how to write interesting interactions and character moments

I really adore her. She's a weird, eccentric art patron who pays an autistic man so he can drink vodka and draw all day because she adores his work. She fucks his twin brother and goes drinking with them both on the weekends. The local lesbian architect is in love with her. She is single and has no relatives and is one of the most powerful people in the town. She also lives in an abandoned observatory she turned into a home with two pools. She brings life to the world around her and is loved by almost everyone. She sleeps in her living room and collects foreign furniture. She is obsessed with the native people and is often very accidentally racist out of ignorance. She walks around in basically no clothes, and no one can tell her shit because she's so wealthy and beloved. She adopts a random famous gay man from the big city like he's a cat because she thinks he's hot and keeps him in her attic and lets him work away at his hyper fixation despite not getting it at all. She lets him call her a cat for some reason. She believes buildings are alive and obsessed with the macabre and death as a whole. She is so great, I can’t even.

knowing pomnis favorite color is red makes me emotional and also slightly more in love with her, for some reason

Anyway I’m going to talk about the Joel dream I had on the same night as the evil Xisuma dream. So here’s what I remember about it

Irl content creator Joel Smallishbeans randomly died. Irl content creator Grian fully flew across the ocean to tell irl content creator Scar the news in person for some reason. They are both distraught and hug.

Then Grian gets a phone call from irl content creator Lizzie. He answers it. Lizzie is full on cackling on the other end of the line. They have a short conversation I don’t remember. Then Joel’s voice comes over the phone, muffled and sluggish like he just woke up. I have no clue what the plot of this dream was but from what I can discern with my waking mind, Lizzie had faked her husband’s death while he was sleeping. Just like. As a prank I guess.
