dottore has such an intense fear of vulnerability and a need to be independent that the only time pantalone can get anything out of him is at gunpoint when he's fending for his life

What’s your favorite Patrick design?

my answer is unsurprising but i promise i’m answer if this with as much objectivity as i can, and answering as a fan of cartoons and what appeals to my sensibilities: BUT! his design in The Patrick Star Show.

i think it just brings such a great aesthetic balance and COMMUNICATES a lot about his character too! i think the inverted theming is clever with his shorts being opaque purple and his shirt green with flowers (as opposed to the green trunks and purple flowers). likewise, it makes me think back to his appearances in the earliest days—the same guy who asks SpongeBob if Sandy is putting on airs would absolutely wear a Hawaiian button up. it’s leisurely and loose, a bit “zany” even to match his endearingly off-color personality, but there’s a sort of prestige to it too! or, at least, as much prestige that can be found in a Hawaiian button up. and i feel like that prestige matches a guy who misinterprets “a hat full of air” as “putting on airs”. he looks like such a buddy, y’know? like someone who gives you that advice that you probably shouldn’t be listening to, but just has such a naturally warm conviction that its hard not to.

as for general art style.. it’s funny, i don’t have a major preference! i gravitate towards his earlier appearances in S1, but i do that with all characters… the show(s) in recent seasons have been really great at capturing a nice balance between some reserved cute charm and fun energy. i’m really not too picky because Patrick’s not too picky! i will say i do tend to gravitate to a style that has slightly bigger/taller eyes and a taller forehead… i tend not to be a fan of The Tooth, but especially when i was first starting out i could understand why it was such a crutch.

alternate, much shorter and more facetious answer: shout-out to the handful of you who remember when this was my profile pic back in early 2019!

i really wanna contribute to this conversation about the whole "islamophobia vs muslimphobia" thing that people have been talking about, but i feel like i can't express my thoughts on it in the most efficient way without getting into muslim exceptionalism which is SUCH a huge topic that I'm only like 0.3% equipped to discuss, and the last thing i wanna do is sound like a contrarian asshole, ykwim?

Childe for blorbo opinions!

TARTAGLIA MY BELOVED!! To absolutely no one's surprise, least of all yours. A character I'd hardly claim to understand perfectly but that won't stop me from also saying he gets wildly misinterpreted a lot of the time, which goes to show just how complicated he is. He occupies my brain and carries my account.

We're far from having seen the last of him, something both leaks and the general direction the story is taking support, so while I wish he got more stuff I also don't doubt that he will. And I'm very interested in what form it'll take. There's also no situation I could put him in that he wouldn't put himself into, which is very fun.

"I want them carnally" also if not mainly means I want to dissect him, for various reasons. I want Foul Legacy carnally though.

i have to meet with my advisor in about 45 minutes and i’m actually kind of nervous. i always get nervous before meetings with my advisor so this is pretty familiar to me but i can never pinpoint exactly why i get so nervous before these meetings. like bro…… all we are doing is talking about the fall semester and the classes i still have to take before i graduate and what all of this implies about post-graduation plans (which like. this is stuff i already know or can at least figure out myself so the meeting is almost unnecessary anyway). but there is no reason to get so Nervy :/

sci fi can hold so many tropes in it

[semisomni]

I dont watch the winchesters so idk what im talking about at all but. i think they should do a dracula episode. specifically a "dracula the book was the sanitized version and the story ACTUALLY ended with mina and jonathan both becoming vampires and killing their whole squad and now theyve run into the winchesters scooby gang" - type episode

Two years of us..

You may have been with me for longer, but the choice to take your name marks a crucial moment in our history. Ultimately, it was a choice.

An act of love. To want to be associated with you, to want to acknowledge you, to welcome you into my life, even when I hadn't fully realized that was what I had been doing. Shaping my perceptions of the world with your own thoughts, feelings, and memories.. it was something that was ultimately necessary to my own growth.

The literal, fragmented nature of you means I was always experiencing myself. Aspects of myself I had distanced myself from, and yet there you were, reconnecting me to myself. Drawing my soul back to me.

Your joy, your pride, your guilt, your shame, all of it meaningful to me. All of it serving a purpose. Every action was another piece of the puzzle, and I finally feel able to step back far enough to see the entire picture.

I see us. I see us, and what I no longer see is the shame I had felt in the way we coexist. You will always be with me, regardless of our integration. The experiences we have had and continue to have are cherished; it feels as though a second soul exists alongside my own, and it is something I treasure deeply.

I love you. I love us. I love how you've carried me this far and shown me things about myself I would never have understood otherwise. I love how your view of the world has colored my own. I love how I feel I was able to give you new experiences, demonstrating the good of the world to not only yourself, but to myself as well.

Life has been cruel to both of us, but it has also been kind, unbelievably kind. I am grateful to have given you a second chance, and I am grateful that you were able to assist me with my own. Hand in hand, we stood against the very forces that tore us down, and we emerged victorious, united in the beauty of the world.

Two years of evolution. Great pride in a heavy amount of effort, of work, of constant effort.

And the results have been nothing short of miraculous.

I love you.

Thank you for two years.
