dad issues

(I think they were all fundamentally affected by what they saw and just collectively decided not to share the upsetting details)

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

Finally done with this piece for my 🪐🛸Space Au🚀🌌 !!!

+ some bonus closeups on details i really liked 💕

being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now

When Marcille roleplayed as Chilchuck’s wife because it’s a normal way to engage in gossip of course of course, her appearance is really just her as a half-foot in a common dress and two braids. Uncharacteristically simple for her, though she did wear those as a half-foot too. At the end of canon, Chilchuck, implicitly by the text ~filling the hole in her heart~ by doing her hair for her when she lost the will to care for it herself, puts it in two braids.

She’s one step closer to her "I wonder what Chilchuck would be like as a husband" fantasy…. Don’t give up girl dreams come true, keep asking him about spending the rest of your daily lives together Mfw his love language is acts of service

i think taking a queer theory class would really fix Seven. not just in the obvious way of learning about compulsory heterosexuality & amatonormativity but also seeing that so much queer art is about the deconstruction of personhood and embracing inhumanity & imperfection. and the fact that her very literal struggle with being "human enough" is something marginalized people lived with for centuries (albeit more metaphorically than literally).

honestly it’s such a generic trope but i do genuinely love the concept of rose and kanaya flirting a lot with each other prior to dating, but never picking up on each others advances. both as an expansion of their pre-meteor/act 5 dynamic (lots of banter, slight mental warfare, two girls trying to see how long it takes the other to pick up what they’re putting down, flighty broads and their snarky horseshit, yadda yadda) and in the context of their miscommunication on their first date.

rose leaning on kanaya’s shoulder as she reads over a book about quadrants, and rose tells her that’s sooo interesting, she wonders if humans can engage in this stuff, and kanaya shuts her down with a vague Im Sure You Will Find Out Someday. kanaya making rose dozens of outfits, all lovingly designed, adjusting rose’s outfit when she puts it on and telling her that she wishes she could dress her like this all of the time, she’s never had a model quite like her, and rose is just like Well of course, if you ever have anything you’d like me to wear you’re welcome to invite me over. both of them die over these encounters later

something about rose and kanaya being confident enough to flirt w each other but too stupid to fully pick up on the Implications. always trying to tip the scale in their favor to force the others hand, never quite having the strength to outright admit that they like each other (until rose is shitfaced and stumbling). i think it’s a fun means to escalate their early banter as they become more acclimated to each other and develop Feelings.

“The Artificer’s campaign has little impact on the overall story” bitch I cannot stress how much of an impact the Artificer had on the entire world. You just need to pay attention to some things.

By the time of the Artificer, Scavengers are basically in the middle of a massive golden age. They have a Chieftain (with a mark of communication (maybe Five Pebbles gave them the mark and citizen ID drone and tried to use them for something but they rebelled and found Metropolis)) with armour made from Red Centipede Scales, they have a permanent home in metropolis above the rain, they figured out how to harvest electrical scrap and broken down Rarefaction Cells from the ruins of Looks To The Moon and pieces of Five Pebbles to make electric spears and Singularity Bombs, they even have specially trained Elite Scavengers, which did exist before in the time of the Spearmaster but it’s still worth bringing them up.

Overall, Scavengers are at a golden age of invention and life in general.

And then they anger the Artificer, who slaughters countless Scavengers, kills their Chieftain and drives them out of Metropolis, locking the gate behind them.

After that, a new Chieftain is never made, armour like the chieftain once wore is never made again, Scavengers suffer a massive population loss, they can’t enter Metropolis without a Citizen ID Drone and Elite Scavengers slowly disappear as the methods used to teach them and the knowledge of how to scavenge and create electric spears and singularity bombs is lost, with the last Elite Scavengers being seen in the Hunter’s campaign, which happens next in the timeline. In other words, the Artificer literally sent Scavengers into a dark age.

It takes until the time of the SAINT for Scavengers to show real signs of recovery, now appearing in larger numbers than before. And even THEN Scavengers never do anything like they did during the time of the Artificer. The Artificer plunged Scavengers into a dark age for countless years, and they STILL haven’t recovered.

And that’s not all. According to the wiki, Scavengers are afraid of Slugpups, most likely because they remember how the last time they killed one they were hit by the full force of an angry explosive lobbing goddess of destruction that slaughtered countless members of their kind. They are afraid of Slugpups in all campaigns, even the Saint’s. So even by the time of the Saint Scavengers know not to mess with Slugpups, presumably because the last time they did so is a legend among Scavengers by that point in time.

Hell, the Artificer’s existence even explains something about the Hunter. The reason that the Hunter starts with a negative reputation among Scavengers is because they look like the fucking Artificer. Scavengers look at the Hunter and see the goddess of vengeance and destruction that they’ve only ever heard of from stories.

Both of them have red fur and a scar on one eye, and will the time gap between campaigns, there’s a good chance that only a few Scavengers that saw the Artificer in person are even alive by that point in time (without even taking into account how the Artificer murdered so many Scavengers that it’s probably rare that a Scavenger saw them and lived to tell the tale), meaning that the Artificer is probably told about in Scavenger stories and her appearance would therefore differ, leaving the most obvious details like the scar on one eye and red fur.

'what was the point of madeline's fake bangs' THE POINT WAS SHE'S OLD

*deep breath*

no, actually, not that. the point was she's old and grey and refusing to accept that her time is up and all her ai immortality and stolen egyptain artifacts won't keep her here. the point was, her honey wig is still much closer to herself than the grey streaks that I bet are making her fucking angry. the point was, she could've done so, much, more. guys. madeline usher is one strong-willed bitch who's absolutely fucking refusing to die.

and I appreciated her taking the wig off before going in for verna, ready to maim and negotiate, specifically in that order. it has certain beauty. she knows she won't fool verna, so she doesn't try. verna is ancient. so madeline bares teeth, because cornered animals are the most dangerous and because age becomes an advantage now, and reminds herself that she is an old, conniving, seasoned monster too.

she fought her death, and boy did she raise hell

The best thing about Dark Knights of Steel has got to be Harley Quinn as a silly little court jester who annoys everyone around her...

I think I might shelve my "coffee and alcohol as contrasting motifs" idea for a bit, at least until the season ends. imo there is something there, but not as much as there really should be for me to get behind it as a thesis, I need to re-do my notes from the start and figure out what I'm actually looking at. I committed the cardinal sin of analysis: deciding on a conclusion that felt supportable and then retroactively trying to make the evidence fit.

for the time being, I think it's better to look at coffee and alcohol as different expressions of the same motif, they're both socially acceptable chemically addictive mood altering substances. we've seen most of our cast engage with them in some way (I think lena has only had a thermos of tea mentioned, no coffee or alcohol, which, interesting, but it's still caffeinated), but sam is the only one we've seen consume them to any kind of excess. in magp 06 he has four coffees over the course of his shift and in magp 13 he comes into work noticeably tipsy after his "dinner" date, and both of these events are connected with celia, and, by extension, his investigations. two of his attempts at leaving the investigations alone involve him refusing offers of coffee (magp 09, magp 21), and in magp 09 when he immediately decides to go back on that decision he goes to find alice in the pub and drinks the pint teddy left.

also of note is that while alice dislikes it when sam overindulges, she does go out for drinks with him on a few occasions and consistently offers him coffee. also also of note is that while she specifically cautions sam against drinking too much caffeine at once, she herself seems to make and drink it fairly constantly, and one of her first lines in the whole show is to say that her body only runs on "spite and coffee." I think this maps on to her approach to sam's investigations into the OIAR and the magnus institute fairly well: she gets him the job that lures him in but doesn't want him to fall any deeper, all while pointedly ignoring how entrenched in it she's been this whole time.
