As a recently physically disabled person, I am so excited for the Paralympics. I used to not relate to them at all, but now I find that it's the able bodied athletes that I can't relate to. I'm excited to see physically disabled people like me, even though I know most will be more severely disabled than I am, or disabled in different ways.

I read the newest chapter of Cryptid Sightings, and @naffeclipse I SWEAR ON MY LIFE. The minute I read them say those lines I thought of that scene with the rake but IT FELT DIFFERENT. IT DUNKED MY BRAIN IN THE INSPIRATION POOL so I drew the thing
And if ya wanna see it a little better I have some lighter ones under the cut :)
Also just a lil doodle cause I changed they look
Eclipse looks a lil… dare I say whorish??? Or maybe maniacal. I have a hard time separating those two

Started watching The Fairly Oddparents: New Wish and I gotta say I am so impressed by how good it is for a sequel of such beloved childhood cartoon series! Besides the animation and the humour and watching again Cosmo and Wanda, I must say that Hazel is the best choice for a new protagonist as she has no similarities with Timmy and that's what makes for a new, refreshing continuation of the same cartoon!
I saw arguments that Hazel doesn't actually need fairly godparents because she has good parents and I can't emphasize enough how wrong that is and how much she actually does! Yes, her parents care for her and notice her and dote on her and they have a pretty good relationship with their kids but we see since the first episode how Hazel is considered the mature kid from her parents and she takes pride on that. So much to the point of bottling up her emotions and trying to solve things by her own! Even in a later episode she considers herself too mature for her classmates and thinks it's better for her to hang out with her teachers (great episode btw)! I know many kids are like that (heck! I was one like that!) and let me tell you they need the same care and attention as the "immature" kids, the loud ones, the ones with obvious problems, the neglected ones etc. Hazel needs Cosmo and Wanda to learn to rely on others and state clearly her wishes and her emotions! She needs to learn to be a "bother" and "immature" so she can become a better person and with healthier connections to her family and friends! Cosmo and Wanda saw this little girl trying to run away and fix her problem by herself and they were immediately like "Oh, no sweetie, we are here to help you, you're not alone!" and I think this is so imprortant and meaningful for many kids that they will watch it!
I haven't still watched the episodes with Peri and Dev but god I am excited and from the few clips I have watched I can tell their dynamic would be so fun and interesting to watch and for sure I am excited for the humanization of the "spoiled, rich, rude kid" stereotype! Probably I'll add my thoughts on them once I watch the episodes!

I am so happy with how this week’s episode went down.
I’ve been so worried that the point of the show was just going to end up being: Sometimes the Jedi are the Bad Guys and maybe the villains have a point! or The witches were Evil and Deserved to be killed!!
Because those would be such boring stories to tell.
We all know the jedi have flaws and that they make mistakes. We don’t need a show to use that as some dramatic reveal. I wouldn’t enjoy star wars as a franchise if the jedi were perfect.
The idea of their innate goodness being exploited and manipulated and used against them has always been really interesting to me. I’ve always believed the jedi as a whole are good and that the problems come from individuals.
That could mean individual jedi who struggle with what being a jedi requires. (Anakin and Sol with their clear struggles with attachment) Jedi who have experienced certain trauma that inevitably affects their decisions. (Anakin, Barriss, Reva, and so many more) Or those who shouldn’t’ve been jedi in the first place (pong krell🤬)
It also means basically anyone else who believes and/or has gone through similar things. (the martez sisters blaming the jedi for their parent’s death, the people of the republic who believed the jedi were responsible for the war etc.)
And of course there are the actual villains who intentionally cause problems.
These things are all unavoidable and thats what makes star wars so compelling to me. The fall of the jedi was the result of Palpatine amplifying these factors to bring forth something that was always going to happen and that nobody could stop.
On the other side, I am so relieved that the witches weren’t revealed as the true villains or something because that would’ve also been so boring, and also kinda dumb.
Introducing this beautiful group of women with their own unique history, culture, and way of using the force…only to turn around and be like
Ha ha nope! The jedi are the only good guys and everyone else is evil!
Yeah I would’ve hated that.
I feel like this episode did a really good job at showing that what happened was a combination of everyone’s fears, biases, and hubris clashing in the worst way imaginable.
Neither the Jedi as a whole, nor the witches were 100% responsible.
The council told the jedi to leave the witches alone but they didn’t listen. The order cannot be blamed only those who were apart of that mission.
You can blame either side for their choices but both sides had their reasons and both sides were neither right nor wrong.
Sol was wrong to prioritize attachment to osha over following orders. But he was right to want what was best for her.
Torbin was wrong to run back and infiltrate their home. But he was made to believe it would mean completing his mission.
Mae was wrong to lock the place down and start a fire. But she just wanted her sister to stay.
Koril was wrong to go straight to violence. But she wanted to keep her children, and her past has led her not to trust.
I could go on and on but I’m getting too lazy to type more.
Basically what I’m saying is I am happy that the show didn’t chose to be fully anti jedi.
And I am happy that the show didn’t introduce a badass GORGEOUS black lesbian witch as the ruler of this coven only to make her a villain for loving her children

so the premise of the new kevjean fic (at 10k words rn TRUST i am working on it) is something i posted about before:
jean and neil work under the main family and are ordered to take a hit out on riko a month before ichirou's wedding because the family has no use of him and he's a waste of resources and air. the only problem is, they can't find him. riko is entirely off the radar so jean and neil turn to the person who once knew him best a.k.a my beautiful princess kevin day. angst in the form of kevjean exes to lovers. jeaneil friendship is singlehandedly saving me. andreil as kevjean wingmen and disaster observers while they try to avoid the fact that they are also falling in love. did i mention angst? cuz there is angst
