Like a convenient tool??? You mean the same "convenient tool" he stood up for, sacrificed his life for, begged to come home and assume a normal life without dc? THAT convenient tool???

#mo dao zu shi #jiang cheng #Did we read the same book?#There were plenty of opportunities he could have used wwx as a tool #He could have had the cw by the balls with wwx's dc if he wanted to #But he didn't because he isn't some wrh level dictator #Nor did he like seeing wwx spiraling into madness #He loved wwx #He was never a tool to him #He always saw him as his equal

i call dark academia books fucked up university books and i would say its accurate

#and they usually study stuff i wanna study!#and the teachers/professors are terrible influences!#and they're gay but they don't admit it (and if they do it's too late!)#also the term dark academia annoys me and i don't quite know why #i mean its probably the aestheticisation and romanticization of all the terrible shit that happens in the books #like ''ooh i wanna study classics at a uni in vermont uwu its so [something]core''#no its fucking not do you have the reading comprehension of 9 year old #did we read the same book?#(i know this is hypocritical to say bc the third tag but like. it might sound shocking but the books are in fact usually actually gay #and if they aren't explicitly queer it's a logical interpretation that can be backed by the text! and also makes contextual sense!)#dark academia fashion is cool though #i want a cloak

Twitter discourse day 6337

People are slandering Sam saying Jacob deserved the best performance nod and not him

Imo they are a package deal and both of them were amazing.

But the racial wars going on even outside the show are making me hate this fandom

Yeah I don’t know what’s happening over there and honestly I don’t think I want to

#listen I’m just gonna stay in my tumblr bubble where people aren’t fully fucking insane #on all sides #bc every time I hop on Twitter for even 30 seconds I see the most unhinged shit #and not in like a fun way #like people saying book Louis’s racism isn’t that bad because he wasn’t a ‘mean’ slave owner #like WHAT #did we READ THE SAME BOOK?#I’m just gonna keep listening to HIM’s discography and crying about Loustat #it’s just about all the stress I can take right now

every time I see someone say that "jc always hated wwx" I feel like I'm losing like 10 years of my life. I don't understand how people can simplify the situation so much.

Worst criticisms of Conflict is not Abuse are the ones that deliberately misinterpret it and claim that she’s trying to invalidate peoples feelings of getting hurt

#“she doesn’t define abuse”#did we read the same book?#“she’s saying I’m a bad person for cutting off a friendship I’m no longer interested in”#okay for starters why are you no longer interested? did they hurt you? did you try talking to them about it?#your an asshole if you just completely ghost the friendship with no explanation

I see some people saying PJOTV Sally Jackson is too much of a girl boss like BFFR

#Mads makes a text post #did we read the same book?#like Sally has always been like that #she’s always been cool and brave - especially in percy’s pov!#but even outside of that you can see she’s a kind and brave woman #pjo series #pjo spoilers #and don’t get me started how ppl think gabe is too nice #bc hey - not all abuse looks the same!#and we see a few signs of Gabe’s bs in the first episode #and he progressively gets worse throughout the book #AND may I remind ppl that even Percy did not realize the extent of the relationship until near the end of TLT #aka he didn’t realize that gabe may be physically abusing Sally #so please y’all hold the phone we’ll see gabe at his worse soon enough

PLOT?#did we read the same BOOK?#like okay it is meandering and long but it has... a story...?#its just like. a slow burn buildup #you people like it. this book is less long and generally better. From what i know about it #i am so mad i want to read it and make a decision to amke a point but the it audiobook is 45 HOURS LONG #quincy.txt

the percy jackson racial discourse will never not be insane to me because rick has said several times that he was pressured to make pjo a very white and heteronormative series but as soon as he had power he made every other book as diverse and queer as he wanted.

how were you guys surprised that when given the opportunity, he diversified his story the way he had originally wanted to???

#y’all are so exhausting #I’m so glad I only see the sidelines but that’s still so toxic #I don’t understand how people have such awful takes like did we read the same books????#pjo tv show #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo

Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)

#dc comics #dc #batfamily #batman #damian wayne #stephanie brown #tim drake #dick grayson #cassandra cain #duke thomas #anyway. zdarsky run sure is something huh?#its still so funny to me that half of 148 was leaked a few days before like someone has it OUT for that book over at bleeding cool ig #i don't necessarily think this theory will come true I'm just imagining how stupid it would be if it did #I'm not super happy with the dialogue in the cass+duke+dick comic but i felt my og dialogue might've read too fanon #mainly just bc cass' last sentence was originally shorter/just ellipses and duke said smthin like ''wait? villain arc?''#which you could easily find in wayne family adventures. even tho it would've been appropriate for this situation 😭#now the dialogue just sounds kind of generic (esp cass') and it's BOTHERING ME AUGHH. this is the comic book fandom panopticon /j #anyway Bruce is in the retirement home in this scenario /j #me n my friends were talking over discord and came up w the cursed scenario that jason is tims robin in this (apart of the 'redemption' arc #-that he's been nail gunned with in this run. god this run is so weird when it comes to jason. like it doesn't outright dislike him-#-like it clearly does damian and (more obviously) cass steph and duke) but the tone of everything w jason is still bizarre #god. anyway yeah i didn't draw him but please picture grown man tank Jason in the robin undies (ala tt 03 but dare i say better)#also the dick being silly sketch was bc the issue i was reading had damian refer to dick as 'jolly'#specifically like ''unreasonably jolly'' or something like that (god i love when ppl find dicks cheerfulness deeply unsettling hehehe)#and i thought it was so funny. bc damian met dick when we has going through his ''bruce is dead'' depression-#-and STILL thought that dick was extremely unserious. he sees happy dick and is like ''what is wrong w you. genuinely''#but at the same time he loves it #i need to stop reading their batman and robin run so scatteredly (or i can just reread nightwing must die...always a possibility)#anyway yeah 👍 bad sketches be upon you #mine

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...

#personal #delete later #idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original #which i kinda resent #while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it #and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story #in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach #and work to find the answer #i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think #sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom #when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground #again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its #purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending #wait they did that in the movie shit #i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin #family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

saw someone say that Tam didn’t crawl to Feyre when she was deleted by Amarantha and how that was how they knew that he didn’t actually love her and i just have to say

“But Rhysand didnt come any closer to my corpse, not as rushing paws— then a flash of light, then footsteps — filled the air.”

“Amarantha’s blood had vanished from Tamlin’s face, his tunic as he slammed to his knees. He scooped up my limp broken body, cradling me to his chest…i heard the shuddering sobs that broke from him as he rocked me, stroking my hair.” -ch 45

yeah, you’re right, he ran straight to her immediately and without hesitation after killing Feyre’s murderer in a blind rage. AND THEN SOBBED WHILE CRADLING HER!!!!! but go off i guess

#acotar critical #sjm critical #like what the fuck?#did we not read the same book????#these are literally direct quotes #my boy didn’t even transform fully back before he turning to rush back to her #miss me with that shit #pro tamlin

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks #but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds #it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget #that we as the audience never got to see #in the vein of the too-little characters complaint #another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies #like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service #i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related #nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems #(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing #what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes #which had eps that skip around in the show #did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps #like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters #answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf #prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope #when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create #in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it #the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them #it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast #i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters #but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in #(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

If I have to hear "Sam was the real hero" another damned time I might just summon the spirit of Samwise Gamgee himself so that he could smack you in the face with a frying pan

#lotr #frodo baggings #samwise gamgee #samfro #lord of the rings #tolkien #like did we read the same books? did we watch the same movies #no one can do it on their own thats the frigin point of the story
