you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.
#i am saying this to myself because i havent been able to watch them yet#and i need to remember the core values of dr who before i watch it#i REFUSE to be one of those people that cant enjoy it because its changed#or because its too rubbish#as if thats stopped me loving 90% of the rest of dw#doctor who#fifteenth doctor#ncuti gatwa#space babies#dr who#dw#🌌#squids bullshit

Who is this sassy lost child?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#a-yuan#A-Yuan knows how to to utilise his big wet eyes to get treats. What a little legend.#The crowd comments about LWJ being 'daddy' and WWX being 'the mother' are a little too 'fan-service bait' for me.#So I am personally reimagining it as another layer of 'misinterpretation of a more complex situation' commentary.#I like how the different styles of interacting with children WWX an LWJ exhibit say so much about their own childhoods.#We - human beings in the real world - take two lessons from how we were parented: What we valued and what we wish we had.#LWJ leaning into indulgence is him pushing back against his own childhood of asceticism. It's something he didn't have - so he gives it.#WWX on the other hand has been *so* defined by his drive to indulge. And here he is the restrictor!#It takes a bit more to see what's going on here. The factors are not singular.#but to keep it in theme with LWJ; I'd propose it is partly his way of establishing structure when he did not have it as a child.#Both approches are a way of saying 'I didn't have this and I wish I did.'#With LWJ it's pretty obvious why...but WWX? What is at your core? What is your regret towards a lack of restriction?#Or...What benefit do you think it gives this child to learn the harsh lessons of going without?#Did it make you strong when you were a child? Do you think it is just the nature of the world and we all must learn it?#How we interact with children is such a fascinating topic to delve into our psychology and neuroses.#In a more light hearted turn of topic:#WWX confirmed to be 'person taking the car to the drive through to order one black coffee for himself' on the triangle spectrum.#LWJ is saying 'we have food at home' as he is opening his wallet ready to order for everyone.#(Technically this is comic 213 but yippee! We are in the 200's now! Thank you all so much for reading and cheering me on!)

Story time: made this piece with an old friend in mind. They had one of those almost photo-realistic art styles and we would respectfully hype up each other’s art
People thought it was weird that they would find interest in my cartoonish style if they already themselves had such an advanced one
But peeps got to remember despite your differences, we’re all still artists and just vibing to our own interests and skills・:*+.
Took one of our conversations as inspo and inserted it - song used is “Blue Boy” by Mac DeMarco
#everyone runs in their own lane with art - you can’t compare racers#when you start doing that to yourself or others - you remove the core value of art#to express#to have fun#and to be ourselves#tmnt#my art#rottmnt#tmnt 2012#rottmnt leo#tmnt 2012 leo

I didn’t remember this Hojo line in the game (at least not when I played it) but I love that he canonically got pissed about Sephiroth not being sent to guard him when in actuality, Sephiroth basically just said “No fuck Hojo, he should die” a few moments earlier skfjdjs

#“is my value…THAT diminished :(((“#no your child just hates you and his friend covered for him xD#ff7#sephiroth#hojo#crisis core#ffvii#final fantasy vii#final fantasy 7

also i think harry potter is a more interesting character when you allow james to be extremely morally grey. imo this is more reflective of canon: he was a bully. he was blindly privileged. he harassed lily and treated it like a joke. and no matter what, he's still a man who wanted to marry "the brightest witch of her age" and saw absolutely nothing wrong with making her his jobless prospectless pregnant housewife at 19 years old! that's entitlement!
like in doing this, james technically carried on centuries of misogynist conservative pureblood tradition (marrying women off to be teenaged childbrides) without another thought. this is the environment in which he was raised. and he told himself it was ok and progressive because he, like, wasn't racist to her for being muggleborn and genuinely loved her as a person, or whatever. but that's the bare minimum! and it shows that he had no qualms with participating in pureblood culture & tradition when it suited him, because he literally materially did. a better james potter would never have been comfortable with letting her take on that role.
and the series themes are more resonant when harry's parents aren't both just, like, nebulously ontologically good. it's really poignant when harry spends his entire life being taught to idolize a man who was, in actuality, kind of a piece of shit— and grapples with this as he grows up, ultimately choosing to be different. the lesson is that both good (and cruelty) can come from anyone, regardless of birth circumstances or house placement, because goodness is a choice.
#the no!war drarry au where they bond over having a conflicted relationship with their pureblood fathers...#showing how distinctions like “gryffindor” “slytherin” are functionally meaningless because the REAL evil is hierarchical systemic power#oh im thinking#like genuinely i think harry just has an incredibly strong moral core & lily would have fostered this if he grew up with his parents#he would have idolized his father in childhood (like everyone around him) and then grown up to be actually pretty disgusted by james#he wouldn't stand for that behavior! or those values! and he would have an extremely contentious relationship with his dad. basically#if snape was like “your father is an arrogant toerag” in class then this harry would have been like FACTS!!!! FACTS!!! YEAH HE FUCKING IS#(i think harry still would hate snape for the uh. child abuse. but he can ALSO recognize another james hater regardless 💥💥💥)#saints speaks 🐇

anaxa is actually such an incredibly deeply passionate lover (both in a romantic sense and his general care for others). he just doesn’t let himself ruminate on it for very long at all and deludes himself into thinking he is acting 100% out of reason whereas he’s actually such an emotionally motivated person; and when he cares about somebody, he cares with his whole heart and body and soul and whatever. he’s just very good at performing, so he fools everyone about that fact, including himself; he’s caught up in his own facade.
#and this is WHY#i need to write that emotional wreck anaxa#because it’s so delicious and basically just him coming to terms with what actually motivates him and lies at the core of his principles#i don’t mean to say that his pursuit of truth is superficial or that he doesn’t truly value it#but i do think people come first and foremost for him#and then the way he acts on that motivator is through using reason (this is very hume isn’t it)#which#(to draw a comparison between him and reader because i am incapable of resisting)#contrasts with socrates!reader who is sort of the flip side in every way#(1) their primary focus is ACTUALLY the pursuit of knowledge#and although they value others deeply they are ultimately secondary to that goal#which is one of the reasons they actually withhold from throwing themselves into a proper relationship with anaxa#but they are aware of this reasoning and that brings me to (2)#(2) they are not deluding themselves and are very clear about where their priorities lie#so in a way#anaxa comes off colder and unapproachable but actually cares ‘deeper’ (in a way) than the reader#who is polite and amicable (sort of) but in a way ‘colder’ when it comes to prioritising people vs their goal#what can i say they balance each other out#socrates!reader#anaxa x reader

Re: your most recent ask YESSS SAY UT LOUDER!!!!!!!! BRUCE LITERALLY STOOD BY HIS PARENTS MURDERER'S BEDSIDE WHILE HE DIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE WHO WOULD!!!!! BATMANS COMPASSION AND EMPATHY IS SUPPOSED TO DEFY BELIEF, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!!!! HE IS THE LODESTONE FOR EVERY ROBIN, THEIR GROUNDING FORCE, THEIR MORAL TRUE NORTH!!!!!
Yeah!!! To me, Bruce is not moral creature. He’s a virtuous creature
#morals bend and morals break#but your core principles as a person — your ethical values and standards— those stay in you.#Bruce needs to be compassionate and empathetic in ways it’s hard to understand#he loves Gotham like man loves a dog that bit him. hope this helps#asks#bruce wayne

I know that the headcanon of Soren being the one pining is very popular, but I personally think that it's not like that at all.
Ike said it himself, Soren is great at everything but at reading his own feelings, so I genuinely don't think he knows he loves Ike romantically simply because I don't think he has ever thought about that possibility himself. He probably just knows that Ike's presence makes him feel at ease and that he wants to be with him forever but since he just doesn't have a good graps of how emotions are he simply doesn't dwell on them too much.
The other reason why I think it is that he never seems upset about people flirting with Ike, he even gives actual tips to Aimee and only interferes when Ike is about to get in real trouble. He doesn't get upset at Ranulf, who is Ike's other love interest either, and his biggest conflict regarding Ike in RD is that he's going to die first and that's pretty much all.
Now, this is why their post-canon dynamic interests me so much, because Ike DEFINITELY knows that he loves Soren after base conversation 5, that bit about him realizing why Soren was so dear to him clearly references a classical "oh" moment and this solidifies when you hear him talk about love to Ashera.
So Ike, who is also a person who doesn't dwell on his feelings often, is stuck with someone who is completely oblivious to any emotion of his unless it's something as simple as happy/sad/angry/scared and even then he constantly dismisses those feelings. It's so funny, I was going to say may god bless his soul but he kinda stabbed her and ended the age of the gods in Tellius
#ikesoren#ike#soren#It's kinda sad also because the reason why Soren is like this#is because the laguz made him feel like he wasn't a person#or something that should exist#so he constantly tries to re affirm his right to exist in the world by offering some value to the person who recognized his existence#so in short#he doesn't think of himself as a person#most of the time he treats himself like he's some sort of tool#and while Ike has made clear that Soren is his friend and he Soren definitely believed it#i think that it's one of those things that become an habit difficult to forget#and one the things that are around as a remnant is his inability of read his own feelings#it's like micaiah said his heart is frozen but a warm core is breaking the ice#and that core are his feelings for Ike even if he doesn't understand them

OR maybe we’re just pissed because you think you don’t have to respect others’ beliefs and you genuinely think religion should not exist which is an inherently bigoted take
this isn’t some big conspiracy where everyone is mad they can’t control you, everyone is mad at you because you can’t muster up basic respect for the diversity of beliefs that people have on this huge diverse planet
and the fact you’re so willing to paint everyone as being obsessed with controlling you and that they believe their “one true religion is 100% correct” sounds like projection on your part, YOU are the one wishing to exert control over others
being an atheist is perfectly fine because people should get to have control over their own lives, antitheism IS NOT fine because AGAIN people should get to have control over their own lives
#we don’t give a fuck if you personally don’t want religion in your life#we care that YOU want to to control OTHER PEOPLE and their core beliefs and values
