the important thing about me is most wholesome and lighthearted media makes me feel bad, and/or upset, and/or severely dislocated. but the intense and extreme stories with problematic themes make me a whole lot better, so much more relieved, more comforted, etc. i'm frequently soothed and my spirits are lifted.
#me is mark#there are always exceptions ofc#eg. the fast and the furious 2001 makes me very cozy and alive and reminds me what love is <3#but that's the general trend#stories where everything is fine and it's happy and nothing bad really happens bear down on me like a terrible dark cloud#happy things don't make me happy#and sad & upsetting things don't primarily depress and upset me#most of them make me feel so good and better#the media diet 90% of the public has sounds scary to me because i'm......... different. unfortunately.#could never be a mainstream audience even if i tried i fear

Dick and Cass' adoptions being visual parallels is so beautiful actually. The focus on their expressions, as Bruce stumbles through a speech about how overdue the adoption is:
But how different the adoptions are too. How Bruce tells Cass she's free of David Cain, but says the opposite about Dick's parents; how Cass' adoption is framed as a choice, but Dick's as an inevitability. Because that's what both of them needed. Cass needed to make the choice, and Dick needed to know that the choice was always already made.
From Batgirl (2008) #6 and Gotham Knights #17
#dick grayson#cassandra cain#bruce wayne#i've thought about this way wayyy too much#also im never getting over that bruce says 'you'll always have a real family as long as you have me' to cass#AND THEN HE DIES#urgh bruce wayne can you do anything right ever#except for these adoptions ofc. these are top tier A+ bruce wayne moments

And he had great influence, both from the favours which he bestowed and the fear which he inspired, but more from the fear. At any rate, Sicinnius, who gave the greatest annoyance to the magistrates and popular leaders of his day, when asked why Crassus was the only one whom he let alone and did not worry, said that the man had hay on his horn. Now the Romans used to coil hay about the horn of an ox that gored, so that those who encountered it might be on their guard.
-Plutarch, Crassus 7
#roman republic tag#drawing tag#komiks tag#i have been doing so much reading about the sforzas (it's about ascanio it's always about ascanio except for when it's about#one of the other maria sforzas but usually it's about ascanio) that i briefly forgot about rome entirely#sort of. byzantium ofc occupies a permanent residence somewhere in my memory cache thanks to. valens#unpeeled some new thoughts about crassus while doing other stuff tho so i'll have to shake those violently in a box for a bit#and see what shakes loose

Just crazy to think about all the things the Doctor doesn't do, that he did for Rose. He never asks twice for someone to come with him. He doesn't go back to give people closure after they get separated. He leaves people behind and he doesn't look back. He doesn't do goodbyes
#doctor who#rose tyler#tenth doctor#tenrose#ninth doctor#ninerose#just thinking about the contrast between sarah jane (iir he didn't even apologize when they ran into each other again) and rose (literally#reaching across dimensions just for one last conversation and the chance to say goodbye)#and ofc jack (literally tried to run away the first time he saw him after leaving him behind)#trying to think of a time he apologized to rose and I can't off the top of my head but I wouldn't be surprised if he did at some point#simply bc it's something he doesn't do for other people and she's always the exception

Wishing there were more disabled destiny characters in game...
#there are a few if you know where to look but it's not always blatant#sometimes it goes completely unnoticed by most people except the ones who suffer from the same disability#anyway it's 4am and the perfect time to be selfish#this is why we have fanfiction ofc but it just means much to hear a disability being acknowledged out loud in a game#destiny 2

One of the hardest parts of the books to adapt into a show is the characters. WHERE are they gonna find a convincing Andrew/Aaron or Neil.
honestly there’s no correct answer to this other than using unknown actors. i do NOT wanna see anyone’s disney channel ass playing any of the mains. jeffrey dean morgan as wymack whatever, matthew lillard as rhemann WHATEVER. but i don’t want to recognise like. any of the mcs.
i’m sure there’s exceptions for like allison, or nicky maybe idk but if i see fuckin. jacob tremblay playing neil id kill myself
#exceptions always ofc#there’s perfect fancasts for everything#but if they’ve been in more than like two major productions nahhhhhh

Steve and Dally and Soda and Johnny and Two-Bit just causing mischief because they’re all near the same age and then Ponyboy and Darry playing go fish or Monopoly at home because they’re the two extremes- oldest and youngest. So they end up with each other a lot and their thing is just board games and small talk and just relaxing in each other’s presence
#poptart’s general stuff#the outsiders#se hinton#poptart speaks#darry curtis#ponyboy curtis#johnny cade#sodapop curtis#dallas winston#steve randle#i just have this hc that Darry and Pony really bond over the fact that they’re not always included due to age#and I can’t remember if Two-Bit was a junior twice or if he was held back prior so they’d all likely be in the same grade#like pre-canon anyways#And also I think Soda was the one who “recruited” the rest of the gang (except Two-Bit who I hc was raised with them)#So they were his friends first#so obvi they hang out#And Pony’s reading a book on the couch and commenting to Darry (who has read it for class) and Darry’s working on bills and using it#Like as a learning opportunity (post or slightly pre-canon ofc)

i love how quackity no longer lets his uneducated white friends make microagressive and sometimes downright racist comments towards him cause as a latina girl it was always a little disheartening seeing streamers that i liked laugh at a mexican for being called a slur and reduce hispanic culture to drugs and tacos
#and the accent was never funny 😐#not holding it against any of them ofc but it was always sooo annoying#like haha yeah let’s make another stereotypical mexican joke! that’ll definently get them to laugh!#so happy he put an end to it and also happy that the community finally realized how weird it was#anyways all love no hate (except for the streamers that did these things that i hate aka gnf)#quackity#dsmp#dream smp#qsmp#mcyt

Since it femuary can You tell us more about Jade? She’s my baby girl I love her.
Yes! For starters she is actually shared OC! I’ve said this before but she’s shared between me and @spjs ! She first appeared briefly in Lost Opportunity and I absolutely fell in LOVE with her and JDs relationship like I legit could not see him without her in my mind SOOOO I uh… kidnapped her
She first appears in one of my works in this comic and then my fic Not the Only One !
For a throwback here’s the pic I’ve ever drawn of her!

Compared to one of the more recents

You can see how much she has changed and my arts developed XD I’m still using my funky pen tho hehehe
Some facts for the Jade you see in N2 au
She is the oldest of two siblings
She has partial iridescence in her hair
She and JD dated in high school
She hadn’t learned to cook until having a child (her parents wouldn’t let her near the stove)
She learned how to support herself and be independent through trial and error (self made woman)
She is very into wood carving and has made most of her own cutlery and dish ware
She also makes her own clothes, and has a knack for cross stitch
Unlike her son, she has no known allergies (Lief is allergic to stout berries)
She fights hard for what she wants but occasionally needs a push to start the fight
She both has a need to be in control of every situation but hates controlling people which occasionally leads to action paralysis
She has a deep love for her music and nature
Her favorite colors are pink and mermaid green and comprise most of her normal wardrobe (unless I’m playing dress up doll with her hehehehe)
Her voice claim for me is Penelope (Anna Lea) from Epic
I said she’s the oldest of 2 because she has a younger brother named Jasper! He was part of the group cut off during the last trolls time so Jade thinks he’s dead (and blames herself for it)
This is what he looks like! He’s a fully iridescent troll which means his colors shift in the light, he was favored by their parents because of it but hated both the attention and the way they treated Jade. Jade and him were very close and despite her objections he fully supported her moving out even if it meant leaving him behind. (He also lost an arm during the last trollstice so ye hehehehe)
Jade is a part of a few aus there's the main au linked above, a wip au called Jadepunzel ATM,
there's a DND au which I haven't spoken about at length yet but have a few drawings and lore some of which will be cross posted ambiguously on my main blog cuz it's only semi related

and then the Explorer au which has a few posts already!
She is so near and dear to my heart and I LOVE HER SO FREAKING MUCH
#dreamworks trolls#trolls#trolls au#n2 au#n2 explorer au#trolls oc#trolls 3#trolls 2#i am literally thinking about her all the time#she is my shayla#i think about other things ofc but passively shes there#she is just so amazing#she contains multitudes#in her original story she was Branchs dead mom#and then i kidnapped her and made her liefs alive mom XD#Lief also only exists because of that original fic as i wanted a stand in for Branch being her kid#the name Lief coming from Leaf as in Leaf on a Branch#Jade took the last name Anderson after her fake husband cuz she no longer wanted to be associated with her parents#she keeps the last name up until a certain someone gives her a new one if you know what i mean hehehehe#im a JaDe shipper for life you cannot stop me#other than Broppy and Cliva#JaDe is my first trolls ship and so its very near and dear to my heart#i don't like to say otp too much but they really are for me#cuz i really cant see them with anyone but each other for the most part#there are exceptions of course 😉#but thats for later#rn im going inaane#actually im going to bed its 4 am XD#one last thing is that WYFILWMA is forever and always a JaDe song to me#ok goodnight

forever obsessed with how the movie and the musical versions of "the outsiders" read the part of the novel where ponyboy talks about how he doesn't like dally and doesn't see him as a buddy and the part where dally clearly doesn't like anyone in the gang except for johnny and immediately went "this sign can't stop me because i can't read" and made dally the most overprotective mother hen to both ponyboy and johnny and actually affectionate towards the rest of the gang
#like ofc i love the book and dally's relationship with the gang#specifically with pony absolutely FASCINATES ME#bc dally is who ponyboy would have become without his supports#but i always laugh especially bc s.e. hinton was part of both the movie and musical#so she obviously had no issue with the change#s.e. hinton: dally doesn't like anyone except johnny and pony is scared of dally#movie and musical teams: okay great totally understand that so anyways he literally panics whenever pony and johnny are in trouble---#the outsiders#the outsiders 1983#the outsiders broadway#dallas winston

I should start sharing my NSR ideas/research that’s gone into DJSS specifically because I love looking into it soooo much and I used to ramble about characters ALLL THE TIME on my Instagram stories but the previous year or two I had gone completely quiet… that must change because I am so so passionate about this space DJ it’s not even FUNNY
#my related issues that are similar to DJs in purpose & creation is smth so visceral#exploration of my favourite characters has always been done out of a need of understanding stuff within myself and they are no exception#there’s so so many ways to look at NSR characters that feel so three dimensional and real and ofc relate to real world history in music#in all aspects#I love music too much for my own good#everything I’ve done lately creativity wise has been for her….#having a character like DJSS in games creates an immense appreciation for music history and discovering the black artists that paved the way#for everyone#I’ve learned so much through this game and it makes my heart swell#I am not an emotional person. but this kind of stuff strikes smth deep within me#and again. probably related to that human creation and existentialism thing#for what I can’t put into words#I put into my art tenfold#I LOVE THAT WOMAN

Lol not to brag but I was meeting with the assistant of the grad program I want to apply for and she pulled up my transcript and yelled "HOLY SHIT!"
#we were both so professional up until that point asdfghfds#which was silly of us because we're chummy anyway#one of the things i am MOST proud of in my life is my time in school#getting all A's and A+'s (except for ONE B+ in my first year aaaaasdfgdsfghfgd) / getting scholarships and bursaries -#- and then getting a job at the school in my field...... i'm so fucking proud of myself#and i'm so glad i'm not dead ofc and that i pulled myself out of the pit i was in for so long#shit was fucking HARD for so many years but it's what i'm passionate about so.#the grad program assistant told me she had never seen that many A+s in her entire career and now i need to be humbled STAT.#i'm actually very humble and shy irl and i just never talk about my grades or accomplishments because why would i do that lol#never kill yourself you might learn how to self-motivate and then become an example of a successful student#< i work with students to be clear so i'm always encouraged to ''share my success story''#i don't think my parents actually realize how much work i put in and how big of a deal all of this is#but you know what? fuck them then :]#i can say that lmao i financed the vast majority of my studies on my own#there's a certain genre of queer people who had parents who never said they were proud of them and rarely hugged them -#- who go on to work their asses off even and esp in a field that's deemed useless (hi i'm liberal arts) -#- and their parents still have no interest in what they do or how hard they worked because now they feel threatened by their smart kid#i swear this is a thing. i've talked to so many people#so basically if you don't hug your kids and say you're proud of them they will grow up to be smart and hardworking SDFGHFDS#wrong message i'm sending
