you can make an argument that kevin is a coward if you really want to. but that goes until they get backstage on kathy's show. after that his growth starts, and reducing his entire character to his supposed cowardice ignores his character arc and everything else we know about him as a person

#my posts #aftg #liveblogging aftg #kevin day #all for the game #my aftg posts #also unrelated but i find it so annoying when ppl make a blanket statement and say 'kevins abuse wasnt physical' i-#WE DONT KNOW????#he doesnt ever talk about his time at evermore we dont know how much of it was physical #but also riko says to neil 'im going to love hurting you like i loved hurting kevin'#and most of the 'hurting' we know of in those 2 weeks is physical #do you think that line was metaphorical #i rlly should stop i rlly rlly rlly should just stop #and focus on positive things but i must. defend. him.#kevin book when 👏👏👏👏

been thinking about the differences between SASASAP and ISAT lately. because looking just at ISAT and the two hats ending, you'd think loop went through the exact same house as our siffrin, but looking at SASASAP, it's different. it's mixed up. it's obviously a condensed prototype.

but. that doesn't have to mean it's a different universe entirely.

maybe that's just what happens after a thousand loops.

the house warped in act 5. siffrin lost their shit and the house got changed and corrupted, far past its baseline king uncanniness. so it wouldn't be too out-of-the-question for it to be able to warp in more subtle ways as well, due to a more subtle breakdown.

like a jpeg uploaded and downloaded a thousand times, siffrin changed, and the loops changed. over a thousand loops of efficiency, the house got more efficient. rooms combining. items moving. data compressing. and of course, run in a changed house, the script changed as well. it did so slowly, one bit at a time, over a thousand loops of zoned-out half-listening – and by the time siffrin would have noticed each difference, they were already used to it. (and in the moments that they did look at a room that was less familiar than it should be and realize that they had no idea where to find the key, well. that's just classic siffrin, isn't it.)

through sheer repetition, siffrin was corrupted, and the loops and the house along with them. all purpose lost, all signals distorted, until finally they couldn't recognize the meaning in any of it. it was all noise and despair.

so they made a wish. and the loop restarted. not just a reboot, but something more complete.

the data was backed up onto a star – a guide, a warning, a reference – and the loops were factory reset. and for the first time in a thousand loops, siffrin woke up to a clear mind and the crisp sound of birdsong.

#but NO MATTER HOW FAR LOOP WALKED they would STILL BE MADE OUT OF MUD!!!#sorry i love writing metaphors about loop i guess #here's a couple i had to cut. for cohesion. :#you ever sing along to a song so many times you could sing it in your sleep? you no longer use the same kind of music player that you first #listened to it on. but you still sing it in the shower and tap it onto your steering wheel and whistle it in the rain #and then one day you re-find the original on another platform and realize that somewhere along the line you'd started getting it wrong?#it was a little like that.#siffrin changed and the house changed and the script changed. one board of the deck and one thread of the sail at a time.#until one day that wreck of thesues could no longer recognize himself and made a wish.#in stars and time #isat loop #loop #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #sasasap #anyway. thinking of it this way makes it make a lot more sense to me why loop can't get magicked back to their old timeline #it doesn't exist. not any more than any of siffrin's 108 failed loops do.#siffrin is siffrin is siffrin #thoughts #thoughts about loop #thoughts about worldbuilding

Sharing is Caring!

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jiang cheng #While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.'#Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell.#First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation.#Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING.#JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude!#Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection.#JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC.#Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light.#There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink.#WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating-#-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do.#I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony.#But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom.#I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be.#Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ.#The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

Something something it's a metaphor. Hair as a form of communication but also as passage of time and also as a way for letting people in and also as a detail etc etc you get it

Actual explanation in the tags btw

I'm really nervous about this comic actually, is not the best. It doesn't make sense, and the art is mid, but I put love in it and I think that's enough

#sbg #sbg (webtoon)#aiden clark #aiden sbg #ashlyn sbg #ben clark #ben sbg #logan sbg #taylor sbg #tyler sbg #school bus graveyard #hey full pages #hey its a comic oh my god its a comic #hi hi hi #really nervous about this thing actually becuase its not very good but i have mkre content lined up #so i dont mind one shitty thing breaking contaiment #metaphors about hair and about allowing people in via innocuous mundane things #watch canon explain the hair color thing and watch me cry about it #the concept is actually not communicated alright #so ill put it here #Roots as in finding his place with these people #because even if theyre running for their lives all the time #they are friends yk? and he loves them #across the comic you can see so clearly that Aiden loves every single one of them and that to someone who travels a lot and probably #struggles emotionally the act of “putting down roots” must be hard #so his hair here is a representation of his roots growing deep into the people he loves and the things they do together #and the last dialogue is meant as a way to let THEM see that he trusts them #but idk i wrote it but i dont know what im talking about #make your own interpretation i think thats more fun

"I'll do what you can't, you do what I can't" should be Sanji and Usopp's wedding vows. It should be engraved on their rings. It should be repeated back and forth from one to the other until they're old and gray and neither of them can remember who said it first. It's the perfect summary of their relationship and in this essay I will

#one piece #sanuso #sanji #usopp #posting about sanuso late at night? on my fic writing sideblog? its more likely than you think. free pc check #sorry not sorry was writing a fic wip and the thought just shot itself straight through my head #i love that fucking line so much #listen. listen its a metaphor for how they are each terrible at loving themselves and seeing their own value #but the other has absolutely no problem showering them with love and care and affection and and and #also just. they have their own strengths and weaknesses and you cant expect one person to do it all and take pride in what you do well and #dont beat yourself up so much and your greatest critic is yourself and you're not a failure #and you're amazing at what you do and i love you i love you i love you

im out rn and taylor swift's antihero is playing and one of the lyrics is genuinely "ill stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" which is incredible since she seems incapable of self reflection

#ari opinion hour #i picked that one up because of the first half of the line to which i was like omg hellmouth sunbeams blaseball mention #anyway the lyrics arent well written there are some interesting things in there but theyre not used well #certain lines about Half of them are great and then the other half is like Okay what are you going for here #like of the line i doubt theres any lines that the WHOLE line is like actually good #the problem is not clunkiness to be clear musical comedy is great have you listened to flight of the conchord #there are many many good applications for clunkiness it can give a sense of awkwardness which can be very useful #the problem is that she does not know what her own goal is #it really seems like part very self-aware lies part actual insecurity part intentional acting and it doesnt work #theres just very little sincereness here it very clearly comes across as someone who never gets told no #like she just completely whiffed so hard on all of this metaphor #god thinking about it now and its not even like itd be HARD to do basically any of it well it would be EASY #especially there's a bit about feeling like a 'monster lurching towards your favorite coty'#which like how the fuck do you whiff THAT #itd be SO easy to use that as a metaphor for being famous and feeling like you stick out #but nah that whole like kinda sucks its clunky

Is it a hot take to say I think Jennifer from Jennifer's body is not bisexual and is in fact a lesbian ??

#i see people call her a bicon and I'm like. there's that one line i suppose #but it REALLY depends on if u think the cannibalism is a metaphor for sex OR if you think the cannibalism is compensation for what she #cannot have (needy)#i think you could maybe make a case for needy being bi. maybe. but jennifer it's pretty clear to me #but also i think colins death scene really makes me think theyre both lesbians.#oh i guess this also depends on whether u think jennifer was going to eat needy in the scene in needys room. but i think it's a stretch to #interpret it like that within the context of the rest of the film #why do i have so much more to say about this than about my current coursework for the degree I chose #lily dot tee ex tee #Jennifer's body

You guys keep falling for people going 'lol you're identifying the wrong way' wrt queer identities so I made you a flow chart

Is your anger against this label because it facilitates genuine harm towards others (eg. MAPs)? Godspeed and good luck to you.

Is your anger against this label because it is Using The Label Wrong and doesn't gel with your personal definition for this label (eg. MOGAI, bi lesbians, lesboys)? I'm sorry, but there's always gonna be people who identify in ways that you disagree with, and with something as intangible as queer identity, their stance has as much merit as your own. If you get ticked seeing someone IDing as both homosexual and bisexual, ask yourself if they're genuinely hurting anyone, and if not, let them be. You will never know the intricacies of someone else's identity, and if that's how they choose to define themselves, well, tough shit.

#like i id as both mspec and lesbian bcos i am genuinely unsure where the line is in my experiences #or if i even wanna draw the line #btw this isnt some holier-than-thou I Know Better thing this is also a reminder for myself #its been years and im still working on not reacting with vitriol when an american has irish heritage so they id as irish #like you do genuinely have to ask yourself 'what do i stand to gain from isolating myself from these people who want to bond with me'#and like its EASY to go 'i hate irish americans acting like they know ireland waheyyy fuck the yanks'#'theyre not even from here they dont know what ireland is like theyre not irelanders'#but at some point i realised that man. this just feels mean. i dont like this #irelands identity is based upon the people who live on the land. not the land the people live on #according to myth the first settlers werent the celts and they died out long ago and yet theyre still irish #and hearing someone discussing that myth go 'i think its wonderful that so many people share a heritage and appreciation for ireland'#'there are people in america and asia and africa who all have a claim to being irish'#'and acknowledging that is an important part to being irish'#and i thought man i WOULD like to acknowledge that it sounds nice #so when i see plastic paddy irish americans i Keep My Fucking Mouth Shut!#this is a memory but its also a metaphor for the queer community. hashtag words

To be honest the dialogue in twd is absolute ass sometimes but the actors deliver their lines with so much conviction that it kinda slips by. You yell that convoluted sentence with your whole cunt, girl.

#this post was sitting in my drafts for months but a line from Fear made me remember it again #''I will do what you tried to do to me only I won't miss''#translation: I will succeed where you failed but I won't fail #yeah bitch the floor here is made of floor #also for context nobody ''missed''. The thing he tried to do was shove him into a room full of walkers #and he did. successfully #he just somehow didn't fucking die or get a single scratch on him #this show is getting way more entertaining as it goes along but it's still stupid #also thinking bout ''we are the walking dead'' ''no we aint'' ''no you're right we aint''#thanks for shitting on Rick's metaphor dude. that was almost poignant.#and ''we got one enemy. we aint the walking dead'' ok slay I guess those two statements were related. vaguely. I think.#sorry kinda roasting Daryl specifically here. He's not the worst offender these are the only lines I can think of off the top of my head rn #also a LOT of the dialogue is interchangable between characters.#Daryl's ''Jimmy'' story in his spinoff was just a Negan monologue. hell Rick could even have told it.#they would have said it differently but again that's down to the actors.#all of this is light hearted ofc #I mean all that really matter is I'm Having A Good Time #twd #ftwd

I've mentioned before that S.hi Q.ingxuan has codependent tendencies and usually said so in a light-hearted "haha yeah watch out she'll latch onto your muse like a leech" manner but it really is a major problem that sets her up for nothing but failure.

Everything she does, from the way she dresses to the way she handles her responsibilities, cries "look at me, look at me!" Some of it has to do with vanity and having been spoiled by her ge's attention, yes; she's pretty, she's kind, she's the lady wind master, so why shouldn't she be admired and adored? A good majority of it is just naturally how she is; even when keeping face, she's never once thought to hide the heart she so openly wears on her sleeve. If it were just those two facets of her personality, it wouldn't be so debilitating. But it's not. She does not know how to exist without being seen. It's not a lack of confidence in who she is as a person (she knows who she is- she thinks she knows -and she's so very confident in who she believes herself to be). But that confidence has a foundation based in there always being a hand to hold, always a back to hide behind, always a pair of arms to catch her when she falls, and if there's just one thing she knows how to do it's to be a persistent presence. Everyone needs someone else around, so it all works out quite nicely, doesn't it? She has no reason to believe otherwise.

#▌ ◈ shi qingxuan ; ⌜ study ⌟#man. man... goes from crying look at me look at me to crying don't look please don't look at me ever again #i think i have more to add.. i definitely do actually but brain spaghetti.#i'm 100% serious too it's a massive problem in canon AND in my other verses #all i got.. hough... i may be reading too far between the lines (i definitely am) but sqx has SO many attachment issues #it can be comedic at times but rlly it's just. sad. it's REALLY really sad.#i think alllll the time ab how sqx started passing those tests way too late #it's my strongest piece of evidence tbh #still largely reliant on 'ming yi' and xie lian's moral support but she FINALLY stands up to swd MULTIPLE times. BUT TOO LATE!#(i say this also knowing there's a lot to unpack with the shi sibling dynamic)#GIRL LET GO OF THE HAND YOU'RE HOLDING. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHOSE IT IS! (metaphorically speaking. ish.)#shi qingxuan my beloved. u are so doomed i love you so fawking much.
