One of the things I'm liking about Scavenger's Reign and that it does pretty well is the 'in media res' start. A lot of shows (LOOKING AT YOU, FOUNDATION) try to make the audience care for the characters without taking time to establish them and throw them into the Big Situation. Scavenger's Reign starts slow and lets the audience experience the planet (and its weirdness) and how the characters interact with it: Ursula is inquisitive, Sam is pragmatic, Azi is wary, Kamen is fearful, Levi is accepting. This is established through Little Situations/ side quests before joining the main. They aren't being thrown into the Big Adventure without showing us little bits of who they are and how they've survived this long.

#scavenger's reign #scavengers reign #meta #storytelling #Yeah sorry I didn't give a flip about most of the characters in Foundation until mostways through season 1 #And part of it was the poor character establishment through the in media res start.#WHY SHOULD I CARE SHOW?

congrats on your recovery n all yuuji but unfortunately for you I thought the scars were cool >:/

#my art #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #yuji itadori #jjk fanart #jujutsu kaisen fanart #jjk art #jjk spoilers #jjk manga spoilers #jjk leaks #these took so long i kept getting distracted cries #but they r done and this is yuuji's post canon scar map to me. argue with a wall we should have had this #looks at canon this sign won't stop me bc i cant read >:(#smh robbed!!!!!! the potential!!!!! the aesthetic!!!!! th angst the symbolism!!!!!!#gege i respect u i do not want beef after u let my boys live #but u rly couldnt have scuffed him up a LITTLE more.....there were so many to choose from didnt u have a favourite.....#all he has to show fr all that r two little scratches. rly.#((not counting the ear n fingers thank god i get That much))#anyway i made a whole post abt why i think yuuji should have kept the scars n what it would have stood for symbolically #its along th same lines as the yuuji Big Face Scar agenda hh i just care a lot abt character design n visual storytelling ok #anyway fine he can keep the eye but in this house it grew back wrong it's lighter and foggy and now his prescription is stronger #as fr the rest #megumi has dibs on the upper right eye apparently so yuuji can have the bottom half #i would have doubled down on the scars on his left but a. the right side is the symbolic one #b. he healed an entire eye so it makes sense tht he'd heal other more minor injuries as well #c. tbh it's mostly based on what looked good i think this arrangement guides the eye across his face nicely #gave him a lil nose nick bc smth smth sukuna idk it's just there to balance things out #also as i said. the jaw and neck scar are there for kissing purposes i make the rules im salty and i do what i want smile #in other news thank u past hina fr doing those hair render studies im very happy with my yuuji hair as of late

Things that I know.

1. Yaoi is the opposite of yuri

2. According to tumblr, yuri seems to be just about anything, but I have most commonly seen it take the form of two inanimate objects in close proximity to one another. Eg minecraft furnace and crafting table, trains crashing into each other, etc.

Therefore, we can conclude that Yaoi is two inanimate objects that are very far apart from each other. The sun and the earth are yaoi.

#sun #earth #yaoi I guess #this too is yuri #this too is yaoi #I dunno how to tag its 11:17pm and nobody should ever expect anything from me #I’ll tag this as minecraft too why not #minecraft #trains #part of me said this to be funny and part of me loves the idea of the sun and the earth as a metaphor for romance #without the sun the earth would be cold and lifeless #a barren wasteland that could never imagine a hopeful future #yet the sun? without the earth it’s still the sun. sure it’s not THE sun but it still exists and it’s still there #the earth needs the sun. something that could leave at any time but chooses to stay out of love. the earth cannot benefit the sun #in any meaningful way but it does what it can because it wants to show the sun that it has noticed and it cares and it loves #humans-part of the earth. place the sun in their religions. their stories. anything to make the sun feel special.#the sunflowers. birds. ocean. all these parts of the earth chip in somehow. they want the sun to feel the love the earth feels for the sun #but the sun already feels that love #and the sun hopes the earth knows it #and the sun stays by the earth’s side because it loves the earth.#truly the best example of yaoi out there

I will never forgive fandom how unfair it is about Arthur

Dark Merlin It's usually good angst. You know, Merlin had had enough. Dark Arthur? Arthur is a fucking rapist, a monster.

Merlin guilty? Merlin feeling guilty and comforted by the entire cast. Arthur guilty? Arthur doing the worst things possible and someone razing him to the ground

Merlin always gets these nice things. always flowers, courtship, everything. Found family? Everyone comforts Merlin because big bad Arthur. (literally almost every Merlin "found family" is everyone loves Merlin and treats Arthur like shit)

Merlin gets an apology. Arthur? My parents will love me faster than someone will apologize to Arthur in fanfiction.

"suicidal, self-harming Merlin" but Arthur has no right to have mental problems (a whole lot of people have wanted him dead since he was born)

Protectivr knights? Always about Merlin.

Even the fucking omegaverse. Alpha Merlin is a nice calm creature who pretends to be a beta. Alpha Arthur... wild animal, keep Merlin in a cage.

No. Just no.

(forever grateful to those stupid British people that arthur never told merlin he was fat. because the fandom understands that something is a comedy if merlin says it. if arthur it would be ,,abuse")

#Have I ever told you that I hate this fandom?#everyone loves Merlin is my 13th reason #like stfu.#did we watch the same show?#also no #Merlin was no cassanova #Arthur deserves Nice things #and he doesn't get them #GIVE HIM FLOWERS.#the fandom doesn't deserve Arthrur #Give him a family. Give him a caring boyfriend. give him friends who are loyal to him and not to Merlin #I swear that if I ever see someone take Leon away from Arthur #because everyone loves Merlin #I will enter my villain era #I swear I don't touch Merlin fanfiction. I physically can't look at it #THIS FANDOM SHOULD BE BANNED FROM WRITING MAGIC REVEL #Merlin gets everything. Arthur is given the opportunity to look after Fanon Merlin #how I hate Merlin fanon #like what happened to my iconic loser. why is he charlie spring with angeline jolie's face #fanon Merlin doesn't deserve Arthur. unless it's Arthur fanon. fanon Arthur is something I wouldn't get close to without pepper spray #forever Merlin fandom hater #arthur pendragon #merlin #merlin bbc #merthur #the once and future fandom #bbc merlin #like cmon

ultimately i think the appeal of daniel and armand to me is that it's very much a typical dark romance storyline where the heroine is kidnapped and tortured by an evil monster but using her wits she manages to seduce him and make him emotionally vulnerable to her, because she is More Special and More Clever than all of his other victims, and because of this she enjoys a level of dangerous favor and protection from him, except in This version of the dark romance it's two toxic old men who both have the worst fucking personalities imaginable. who truly just fucking suck beyond measure. like no pun intended, they are Garbage, one is the actual literal immortal devil and the other is just kind of a deadbeat with no moral compass, neither of them is willing to work on himself and neither of them has ANY reason to want to rail the other as bad as they do.

and yet. There They Are,

#i am not immune to evil stockholm syndrome dark romance that makes certain booktokers puke.#i am also not immune to a pair of shitty people who absolutely SHOULD fucking HATE each other #and who are going to be nasty little freaks about the other instead. possibly also while hating them.#'why do people write enemies to lovers so soft' i'm always saying. i just want you all to know #this is maybe the first time i've seen an enemies to lovers arc done in EXACTLY the GROSSEST ways i DESPERATELY WANT IT #and it is FUELING me. i am THRIVING. i am REFRESHED i am FINE i am NO LONGER SAD my SKIN is CLEAR #the layers. the drama. literally don't care about anything else going on in this show it's all them 2 me. theyre everything. thanks #i'd apologize for my taste but like. i'm not gonna apologize for finding the evil ships hot in the evil ship show. come on now.#iwtv #devil's minion #with that i need to like. go pick my partner up from work and then go to sleep. thanks for watching me do this on main everyone!

idk why people are mad that baela doesn’t care jace’s daddy is harwin, she’s essentially grown up knowing this fact, and has clearly been fond of him anyway, and like most of the people in westeros in both show and book canon, doesn’t give a shit about it because ignoring it means she will one day be Thee most powerful woman in westeros. like genuinely, why would she care about his legitimacy? what does caring about it get her??

#i think some people genuinely believe that these boys being illegitimate is a moral failing that everyone should hate them for.#but that’s not even how legitimacy works in book canon. everyone ignored daemon & daeron’s paternity!#when u give them a reason to ignore it they will bc legitimacy is a social construct that doesn’t matter #why are we mad that baela doesn’t give a shit when there are so many other million issues with the way baela is written in this show #and baela not caring about jace’s legitimacy is book canon 😭😭#baela targaryen #jacaerys targaryen #hotd spoilers #legitimacy in asoiaf

Lil messy comic I made for the shits n giggles

#I made this in black in white and then added color gradients over top of it #I should do that more in my art it’s fun and easy lmfao #Milo’s last name is Maddison btw #Milo doesn’t necessarily like people calling him that due to it reminding him of his father but Hazel likes teasing him #my comics #my comic #myart #art #artwork #procreate #Milo likes to not show his true emotions around people his whole thing is lying to manipulate people and to like. Make people like him more #He acts very charming but he’s a very angry guy with a lot of hatred in his heart #He has to keep his business afloat somehow though so tricks it is #Obviously not all of his personality is fake in public eye but like MOST of it is LMFAO #Hazel on the other hand is just deadpan angry 24/7 he doesn’t care to hide much of his personality #Besides being sad or showing weakness #Hazel and Milo have a very strange relationship #Hazel doesn’t care to push Milo’s buttons even though Milo could fire him at any time #But tbh Milo likes how Hazel won’t work well with him at times. He likes being pushed back (well most times anyway Hazel CAN get annoying)#Milo tends to be around a lot of yes men so Hazels a nice change of pace for him #It’s kinda why Hazel is Milo’s right hand man and bodyguard of sorts #doodle #doodles

I'm hoping episode 3 let's Ruby see the dark side of the Doctor. I feel that adds a very important dynamic to a Doctor-companion relationship, when they see how dark he can be and still choose to travel with him early on.

Rose watching Nine drag Cassandra back to die. Eleven yelling at Amy "Nobody human has anything to say to me today!" Donna begging Ten to stop drowning the spider babies, and then again to go back and save someone in Pompeii.

Fifteen has been FUN and I know he can do emotional range, I've seen his fear and his tears already. But I want to see him dark, and I want to see Ruby respond to that. I think it would add a LOT of depth to their relationship and is something missing.

Plus showcasing the Doctor's flaws (selfishness) will make him a much more interesting character. I want to see some conflict between the Doctor and Ruby.

#wren rambles #doctor who #fifteenth doctor #ruby sunday #something about not letting heroes have flaws #and thus being one dimentional and less interesting #its a flaw i saw them slipping into a bit with thirteen #where she was always the Moral Voice #i LIKE it when the Doctor is instinctually cruel and has to be talked out of it and actively choose to be kind #it makes the character SO much more interesting #and raises the emotional stakes so much #so far fifteen has been FUN #but he hasnt been a rounded character #and until we see his flaws hes never gonna be in the runnings for a favourite #i think the doctor is an inherantly selfish character #and he has to make an active effort to NOT be #“Im his carer” “yes she cares so I dont have to”#im worried a six month time jump removed the opportunity for this kinda thing though #i Need to be able to look at the doctor and know. this is the man who killed a planet #and i havent been seeing that in the character recently #still early days yet though!#the doctor shouldnt be the moral center of the show--his companion should be #i think thats why i love 12 so much tbh #because his whole THING is to choose to be kind #without hope without witness without reward #being “good” (and whatever that means is a discussion for another day) doesnt come easily to him #love isnt an emotion its a promise #i want to see fifteen STRUGGLING to choose to do good #and i want to see ruby witness that

my biggest hope for the next book is that maruca actually gets to use her power without gisela going "oh ho ho! youre doing exactly what i want you to do >:) youve fallen right into my trap"

#sorry! im fucking sick of it!#WHY reintroduce maruca with this supposedly awesome new power #if shes NEVER allowed to do anything with it ???#i dont get it ??#so far i feel like its only been used to show not how powerful maruca is but how smart and careful gisela is #but like! we already knew that about gisela #idk. just once i feel like maruca should get a chance to really shine #if i remember correctly she helped in the trix scene in stellarlune but #its sort of counteracted by the fact that trix was completely harmless #let maruca have a cool main character moment !!#kotlc #maruca chebota

Eddie's gonna invite Buck to a one-on-one game of basketball before he leaves, but only if he doesn't push him again and damn near break his ankle like he did last time.

Take note of the Season 3 "Just don't do it again" point.

the anti-woke crowd: euRoViSIon iS a sOnG cOnTeST iT's NoT pOLiTiCaL

also the anti-woke crowd:

#eurovision #i'm glad i ignored the absolute shitshow last night #but it is devastating waking up this morning and seeing that the same small minded idiots who vote out of spite are up to their usual tricks #people keep saying we should just have a public vote in eurovision but this is exactly why we should never solely rely on the public #often i wonder how our world is in the state it is and then people show their asses like this and you go 'oh ok that's why'#they really care more about 'beating the woke crowd' than genocide huh #(also didn't realise it was woke to be anti-killing innocent people but if that's what it takes i'm very proud to be woke)

Oh, so, like, the entire first season's establishment of the characters and their interactions don't actually matter in Helluva Boss. Okay, cool.

Like, I get that characterization develops over time and the writers come up with new ideas and places they want to take the story, but. So much of the Stolas/Blitzø stuff recently isn't character development: it's retconning.

#I'm just salty because i was heavily invested in the unhealthy dynamic as i interpreted it #instead of the unhealthy dynamic the show decided on.#uhhhh. yeah I'll throw this in the crit tag #helluva boss critical #I'm mostly just not invested in this show anymore. alas! but i do still very much enjoy the art and animation style #every time there's shiny glowy eyes i go 😍#anyway it does just take a tiny amount of editing to have this come across how i would very much enjoy #where Stolas is just. hypocritical #he wants love and a relationship so badly #and that's such an interesting characterization and I'm here for it!#if we also just. acknowledge the way he was SO obsessed with sex while Blitzø was awkward about it #like there is a lot of mention of that - Blitzø says he thought that's what Stolas wanted from him #and is confused about why things are changing!! (i love it so much)#but the show seems to take Stolas's side instead of allowing that 'yeah‚ he doesn't recognize how his internal emotions were never seen‚#because all Blitzø sees are Stolas's external actions - exactly the problem that Stolas is having with Blitzø not communicating!'#AND i still think there should be more emphasis on 'hey yeah it was really fucked up to manipulate Blitzø into sex like he did'#the crystal didn't magically fix it and they should have issues with Blitzø not understanding his worth to Stolas #because from his POV: Stolas really does only want him for sex‚ is paying him with access to the book and human realm‚#and has repeatedly sexualized him And seemed ashamed of it when other important people knew #(compared to how he acted towards Blitzø around other Imps) (which makes it seem like he doesn't care about what Imps think at all)#Stolas can be sad and his emotions are interesting but not when all of the fandom I'm seeing is taking his side #me at all times always: i think these characters/this ship should be worse!!!

The compelling thing about Jason as a character is that I never doubted that he cared about the world just because there weren’t panels of him being overly zealous about “restorative community care”

I’m not coming after anyone who wants to see that kind of stuff, but I do think seeking | that | as confirmation that Jason cares about the world is pretty narrow

#shoving an arc like that into his comics to “show he cares about people”#after having him repeatedly say things like “nothing I ever did was for good. it was all just selfish anger” in recent comics #would be the final nail in the “see! he's redeeming himself! he CAN be likable!” coffin (pathetic)#it's literally what his antis have been suggesting would make his character “so much better”#kelseethe #see also: “people would have a hard time knowing whether Jason loves them”#why did he gift Thomas' watch to Bruce all those years later + possibly even after utrh happened #why is he always silently forgiving the shitty treatment from his family almost like he wants to maintain some sort of relationship w/ them #as for “showing that he cares about the world”#the most obvious “evidence” is right there #why would he continue to fight tooth and nail to have a place in Gotham as a vigilante #both warding off and enduring harassment after harassment from Bruce while hearing the same message every time #“hey. you're doing this to yourself. you can make it all go away if you just do as I say and quit for good.”#“you'll even get to be my son again”#it’s not like he gets recognition/praise for doing what he does either unlike Bruce Dick or Tim #what could possibly be in it for him #wouldn't it be that much easier to “not give a crap about the world” on a beach in Capri instead of in the Gotham sewers every month #anyway Jason should decapitate rapists and poison more child traffickers and not cry about it five seconds after

chat what if i made the angstiest animatic of lloyd and harumi and their horribly toxic relationship. would i be burned at the stake and called a llorumi shipper. or does media literacy still exist in the world

#ninjago #lego ninjago #ciftrchats #i’m not a llorumi shipper #i don’t think they should be in a relationship #however. i think that they are both messed up enough and have such weird convoluted feelings for each other #that they would be #and it would suck #and i need to observe them as it gets worse #does this make sense #like they really have the most interesting dynamic and i need to be able to make stuff about it without people trying to call me a llorumi #llorumi shipper*#like no it’s just part of the show #yeah it’s abusive and sucks and lloyd should get a restraining order and harumi should get a therapist and jail time #but it also is what it is i didn’t make the show #i didn’t write them having feelings for each other #that wasn’t me go blame the writers #i think that’s odd as hell actually #why did they do that #but hey i’m going to explore that idea bc they both don’t know how to take care of themselves #and they both would 100% get into an abusive relationship #so maybe i will make that animatic actually
