i have to go to the zoo now and will be making the version with the clock later [i cannot express how long ive been battling with hawkeye's face, gamers]. background went very fast like i said it would lol
version 2 [as in, w/ clock] will probably be done later today, and i will edit this and add it when that happens [and prolly make a separate post too, for celebration purposes, and will link them]. i will also compile progress pics for that post. they are terrifying early on lmao

In emphasizing that Ken needs to look past romantic love and search for satisfaction within, Barbie is of course also staking a claim about her own identity and value. In doing so, she’s joining with a broad trend in kid-friendly entertainment: we no longer make movies where a heroine’s destiny is to fall in love. If you look at Disney movies in particular, the classic storyline of the protagonist getting her man in the end has been pretty definitively retired. The last movie of theirs that could be said to hold romantic love as the fundamental goal of the protagonist is Tangled, and even that’s debatable. Frozen and its sequel very directly reject that story structure, while films like Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon are indifferent to it. And, you know, that’s all fine; there’s lots of different good stories out there. But I do think that the out-and-out abandonment of the notion that love is the noblest pursuit of human life says a lot about our cult of self-worship. Because once you’ve dropped the romantic ideal, that’s all our culture really has to offer.
...
The individual problem is that telling people they are enough is a cruel thing to do, because they aren’t enough. None of us is enough. I don’t know you, personally, but I can still say with great confidence that you are not enough. If you go through life uncritically accepting the Instagram ideology that you can #manifest everything you deserve because you practice #self-care and are #valid, on a long enough time frame you’re going to end up alone and miserable and profoundly aware that the idea of total emotional self-sufficiency is a transparent lie. Human beings need other human beings. All of us. You might be inclined to lament that fact, and you’re entitled to if you want. But you don’t get to choose to be self-sufficient, any more than you can choose to not require oxygen or water. We’re all interconnected in these vast webs of social influence and causality, whether we want to be or not, and very very few of us can last for long without relying on other people. The connections that save us don’t have to be romantic, but they do have to be connections.

bioware really said "i made this whole ass cool as fuck last second reveal in absolution that gives dreadwolf so much potential, so help me if y'all say dragon age 2 is a bad game that can just be skipped in the triology ONE MORE TIME I WILL SEND MEREDITH TO BEAT YOUR ASS-" and honestly that is so correct of them

Why would Sun be friends with a genocidal maniac like Ruin who, in addition to trying to kill him voluntarily on more than one occasion without being influenced by any virus or external power, killed one of his relatives and drove another to madness???
See Ruin has this fun thing about him where he has 3 very different character variations the fandom can and will pick between when making fan stuff of him. I still see aus and fics that use virus and/or cured Ruin played straight as opposed to a cover for canon compliant Ruin, which is great and I love that let’s have as much fun with this character as possible.
I bring up Sun though because, while I do love to see it, people usually only use Solar and Eclipse as Ruin’s potential friend(s) and I think using Sun instead could be very interesting. Yes you would have to do a lot of heavy lifting to get that to work with canon compliant Ruin, but as mentioned before we have the other versions to play around with. I dont particularly care which version I’d just enjoy seeing a Sun and Ruin dynamic explored, and maybe hopefully as friends.

thinking about max's possible face blindness and how he pictures the notable people/things from his day. johnny made an impression on him and is all in all accurate. suzy and isabel too. spender, isaac, and ed are close, but theres something Wrong with them. ed's face is too wide and doesnt have as much definition as the rest. isaacs face is too short and he either has giant bags under his eyes or theyre set in too deeply. spenders chin is too wide, giving him a square face rather than the pointed chin weve repeatedly been shown. collin and dimitri both show up but only from the eyes up, with their most prominent features being collin's furrowed eyebrows and dimitris hair
