Etoiles just announced that will be doing a virtual tour of the Louvre LIVE with famous vlogger and YouTuber Léna Situation this Saturday on January 13!

Not only are Etoiles' virtual museum tours always very educational and interesting, but he also says it's been his dream to visit the Louvre for a long time. He's very excited to explore it with chat, and he says he hopes that international viewers will also be able to watch and enjoy the stream with the help of subtitles, since he knows not everyone has the opportunity to see the Louvre and it's a once in a lifetime experience.

Be sure to watch the tour live this Saturday, January 13 at 8:30pm (~11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST).

on a more serious note, it's a little messed up that people do the whole 'poor c!quackity, he's traumatized by c!techno killing him' thing and very rarely do i see people acknowledge just how traumatized techno was by the butcher army and aftermath.

he was so traumatized by it that c!phil even commented on how jumpy techno was. man had ptsd from it and it was unprovoked like.

I had a dream last night that I met Machete and we talked extensively about anything and everything. I went through a lot unfortunately in catholic private school. We related on a lot of things. His and Vasco’s dynamic is a lot like me and my partner’s.

Half-coherent because I just woke up but full of love for these dog-guys. <3

to add to the talk abt c!dream redemption and retributive violence/justice ive seen today:

a particular phenomenon that i've seen more than a few times that i'm particularly fascinated by is the assertion that fanworks that seek to "redeem" c!dream post-prison have "a bad message" because they rely on the false claim that torture is effective, that abuse can "fix" someone. the argument goes that a post-prison c!dream that is more "well-behaved" is harmful because the implication is that the abuse is what made him more agreeable, that violence has redemptive power--this is an argument i see quite often levied at syndicate!dream AUs and similar "healing arcs" in fanworks

(i've seen this argument used to speak of canon, as well, particularly to praise the ccs for "not falling into the trap" of making a so-called "abuse apologist" argument by having c!dream behave "better" after the prison--instead, they say he is portrayed to be "just as bad" after he leaves pandora's vault. personally i don't exactly agree that mr. hid in the prison all day was operating at exactly the same caliber of the guy who went from exile to doomsday to staged finale in the space of less than 2 months, but hey, what do i know)

interestingly enough, though, when you pick at these arguments a ltitle bit more...i think it's fair to say that they don't necessarily think that all violence is unnecessary. after all, the argument goes, simple kindness wouldn't have been enough to make c!dream change his mind pre-prison, so obviously if the same is able to convince him after the prison, then the creator has fallen into the same abuse apologist pitfalls that often end up in media with torture involved. but...in that comes the implication that in order to quote-unquote "redeem" c!dream, kindness never would and never will be enough. he has to be, to some extent, forced.

obviously, obviously, the prison arc was Too Much Violence. that amount of violence can't change his mind, that would be Bad Messaging. but to write him as being able to be convinced through more reasonable means is also abuse apologist-y, as it dares to assert that c!Dream's mind would be too broken by the abuse to the point where kindness would be able to win him over. obviously, this means that there's a redemption arc "sweet spot" of violence and/or coercion that can be used to change c!dream's mind despite his unwillingness (in an Ethical Manner, of course. plus or minus some suffering that is only deserved, because all good redemption arcs include some #Consequences, where the #Consequences don't really matter in terms of where they come from or why they happen as long as they live within the appropriately designated allotment of Redemption Arc Violence that is Allowed)

obviously.

Sometimes I think I see a bad lore take and want to respond but then I remember YouTube comment section takes… and shudder in fear as I scroll past

[ladyofthenoodle]

okay i lied in my last tags i am annoyed that they got over their kwamis leaving in like 3 seconds, didn’t even consider saying goodbye to their partner, and didn’t seem worried that their partner was gone. what happened to marinette being so in love with chat noir last episode? what happened to chat noir being ready to cataclysm scarabella when ladybug didn’t show up? who are these people?

them giving up their miraculous was set up pretty well imo, the episode showed us how miserable they were and gave them a push from the kwamis. but… they’re just over it so quickly. and yeah, there must be a huge sense of relief, especially for marinette, and yeah, they’re excited to be together… but why aren’t they worried about their partners? i’ve accepted (or, well, i’m trying) that canon wants to kill romantic ladynoir, but it seems like now even their friendship doesn’t matter at all. i really want to love this season and the first half of the episode (plus the adrinette hand raising scene) was SO GOOD. but. but.

Hey all the artists who love to torture us with fake leaks

Anyone want to make a quick little 2-second Raeda kiss that takes place right after Raine says "I'm just happy you're here" in the show's animation style?

Oh here’s another comment on a take about Caleb’s ending I don’t vibe with:

Caleb always wanted to be a teacher, and at the Soltryce Academy specifically. In both his in-campaign dialogue about the school, and in the Caleb Origins comic, it's clear the school was actually a great, healthy place for him before Trent's abuse. He wants to give students that and protect them from the abuse that happened to him. It's not "working at the place that traumatized him," it's working at a place he loved and not letting bad actors traumatize anyone else who is there to learn.

[p-receh]

I need someone to vent to. Incoherent rambling starts here:

So! From the season finale issue we all know hang kasa cared for ratna, right? (He's in love with her, HE'S IN LOVE WITH A MARRIED WOMAN, HE'S—) (the ship's doomed even before setting sail) We see how devastated he was when he came back to gurlatan and found that she's dead. WHAT IF their feelings were carried on to the next incarnation (boboiboy gempa and boboiboy halilintar) (not the 'in love' part per se, but the deep profound care especially towards hali from gempa). Then BAM! BBBMV2 happens. Hali is taken from gempa once more (to the same alien even). Then BAM! Gurlatan arc happens. If only gempa didn't change to halilintar, then perhaps halilintar wouldn't be stolen. If only gempa didn't trust kirana so easily. If only— DO YOU KNOW GUILTY HE FEELS THEN??? THREE TIMES THE LIGHTNING ELEMENTAL WAS TAKEN FROM THE EARTH ELEMENTAL! AAAAAAAAAAA the angsttt

FIRST OFF:

I AM ABSOLUTELY SORRY I JUST ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION TODAY.

SECOND—

WHAT KIND OF CONSPIRACY IS THIS ANON???? wwwwwww 🤣

Hold on lemme just digest your ask first. Be back in minute—

*reading the ask box thoroughly*

Waaaaaaaiiiit, but how's that even—

Lmao I am speechless, anon. No one, I mean no one even from many fans in my country had this theory. This one by far was really wild, and I somehow blessed what you came up with.

If that's what you say about Hang Kasa and Satriantar. I might want to add that Kuputeri shared the same bond with them. But in my perspective, I would think He cared about their partnership since one of his goals was to gather all elemental masters to become the "Guardians of the Galaxy" per se.

And I really reeeeeally love the interaction between Hang Kasa, Kuputeri, and Satriantar. I could almost see their resemblance in the Ori Trio. So it super duper makes sense if Monsta did that on purpose (even if it's unintentional).

Heck there's a fan who mostly draws these three and makes some headcanon to it(oh I really recommend this account if you are into these three :333)

To be fair, in my own selfishness. I'd rather choose either Gempa or even Angin's 3rd Tier, Beliung, as being the one who helps gain back the Lightning power from Ki'rana lol.

(Maximum angst right guys? 😏)

It goes back to their personal past and how emotionally affected they are by what happened throughout Gur'latan's arc!

OOT Gempa is the perfect candidate for being the angst ambassador of how much he witnessed such tragedy in front of his eyes. He is truly an embodiment of his original owners lmao😅
