Ello Ello Hola. Ciao and Bonjour internet artist. If it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd like to request fanart of a show called Mysticons. It's not really popular but it was a large part of my childhood. (P.S hope you're doing well. Love your art. Make sure to take breaks and drink water or else I'll be in your walls)

MYSTICONS?!?!?!

I only I watched a couple of episodes and I've been trying to re-watch these series for like, years now! 😭😭I freaking love their designs, man, they look so 🤌🤌🤌 !

New headcanon.

That Diluc and Crepus are alike in a lot of ways and I get the impression that Crepus also lived vicariously through Diluc in terms of “I couldn’t be a knight so you go do that” even if he may have had some reservations with the Knights himself but wouldn’t wanna alienate them because of his kids or because of business reasons.

That Crepus and Varka have a begrudging mutual respect for each other but do not agree with each other’s tactics.

Crepus, like later Diluc, finds the knights inefficient. That he was working to bring down the Fatui in his own way secretly. There is some underground vigilante anti-Fatui group that Diluc later joined because he has contacts in Mond when he gets back.

Diluc is a kid and delluded into thinking the Knights are perfect and Crepus doesn’t wanna crush his dreams.

Then reality happens.

That Diluc has noticed some corruption already and has his reservations and annoyances. That that night was his final straw. That he’s relieved to be out of the Knights but feels like he let his father down but also has a weird feeling that he did the right thing by him.

And that he later learns more about the underground efforts and just how stupid the knights are being and that diplomacy doesn’t solve everything.

But he doesn’t wanna alienate them too much because of his begrudging respect for Kaeya.

And also he’s annoyed and slightly jealous that Kaeya took his position.

He secretly wishes Kaeya would leave but if he told Kaeya everything he knows it would destroy him. Or he just wouldn’t listen.

Or that Kaeya does know and wants to change things from the inside.

Or he stays because he thinks that’s what Crepus wanted and actually sees Diluc as disrespecting their father’s wishes.

Or Kaeya stays because the knights treated HIM well, and he doesn’t have any other family left. They ARE his family. His dad abandoned him and he doesn’t know where his mom is (if shes alive). If he has other siblings they’re probably working for the Order. His adoptive dad died and his adoptive brother views him as a pushover for staying perhaps.) Let’s also not forget that Kaeya was probably pressured into doing whatever he was forced to do as a kid as being an heir to the Abyss Order basically. He probably doesn’t know HOW to say no or stand up against institutional injustice. Anything is better than where he came from. So he mostly just distances himself from the Knights by hunting treasure hoarders for fun and gathering intel because his position is literally useless.

I also think Jean’s hands are tied because she’s also barely legal and has too much pressure and is probably going off some some handbook and can’t reorganize things too much to not piss of Varka when he gets back. Plus they’re short-staffed. It’s very likely Varka groomed Jean in some way to succeed him and just put way too much pressure on this kid so now all she knows is how to work. Yeah I don’t like Varka lol.

For Kaeya it’s like “don’t bite the hand that feeds”. Kaeya leaving the knights would lose him EVERYTHING and he cannot risk that. There’s also a real chance that Varka knows about his past and if he leaves, he would become a target due to him being potentially dangerous.

It’s just a big mess all around and Ragbros+Jean are dysfunctional adults that had unrealistic pressures put on them as kids.

One of the interesting bits of trying to resume working on the game after so long is looking back at my ancient Draft Placeholder versions of an image from 4 yrs ago trying to remember what the hell I meant back then, to hopefully interpret it into some more final (ish..) form of the same thing .. making slow progress lol

⚠️Daredevil: Born Again SPOILERS below⚠️

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!

Giving my two cents on episodes 1 & 2 because why not. This is a bit long and these thoughts are largely unedited, I just had to get them out.

Honestly, I’m thankful the promo for this show went so heavy with forewarning Foggy’s death. My grandfather passed away a couple months ago and I’m not sure I could take a surprise Foggy death, especially not so immediately. I know it’s irrational, but I could barely take it even despite having seen all the rumors and interview hints. I was in denial, I was trying to convince myself it wouldn’t actually happen. This show and these characters mean a lot to me. They got me through tough times. So I’m glad I had the spoiler warnings.

Overall, the episodes were good. I have some complaints, in no particular order. I hope we get more Karen (I can’t imagine we won’t, especially once Frank shows up). I noticed they’re giving a bit less attention than the Netflix show did to Matt’s heightened senses. In the Netflix show it was ever-present, even if just as an unspoken implication, whereas here it seems they at times gloss over what he should be picking up on and instead save it for dedicated sequences. I’m not a huge fan of BB yet—hoping she wins me over. I’m crossing my fingers we get more religious imagery and discussion than we’ve been shown so far; while it’s not absent, it’s nowhere near as present as the Netflix show, and I think it would be a shame if Disney downplayed that aspect of the character. I thought it was odd that Matt got to give what felt like a closing argument from the witness stand and Dex was given a chance to personally respond (unless Dex was representing himself and Matt was a prosecutor?), though the original show had legal inaccuracies too so I can’t judge hard here. And for my main complaint… while I enjoy her, Kirsten McDuffie’s role could have and should have been given to Marci. You could replace every line and scene of Kirsten’s, give them to Marci instead, and it would work better narratively and emotionally. You’re telling me Kirsten, who we saw flirting with Foggy at a bar exactly once, triggers more emotions in the audience than Marci Stahl, who we saw form a relationship with Foggy over the course of three seasons? Marci is a powerhouse and she could’ve killed it here. We could’ve seen a whole new side of her. Not to mention we already have a basis for what her dynamic with Matt is, and it could’ve been so interesting to see that develop into something more considerate and compassionate and almost like a friendship. Plus I’m sure they’d both fail to keep up appearances by bickering, which would bring some of that lighthearted wit back now that Foggy can’t interject with it :(

On a positive note, I enjoy the tension between Fisk and Vanessa. I felt that was natural given what they’ve been through. Plus, despite their seeming devotion to one another, Fisk has always been more obsessed with Vanessa than she has been with him, and Vanessa has always been more power hungry than she lets on. I liked the visual parallels between Matt and Fisk getting dressed in episode one, followed by Fisk comparing their “violent natures.” I’m glad we’re continuing on with Daredevil being an addiction of sorts for Matt—that final scene of episode two was total self-defense, but you get a sense that he enjoys it, that he was deprived of it, and that it will begin a slippery slope. I also liked the addition of Cherry. It’s good for the narrative to have someone still knowing Matt’s secret and he seems like a good guy. He is sort of taking over Karen’s role as an investigator, but obviously Karen isn’t staying away forever. One of my favorite additions so far is Heather as Matt’s new girlfriend. Sorry, Karedevil enjoyers, but as a Kastle truther I’m glad they’re giving him someone else. Of course he would hit it off with a therapist lol. I’m sure it’s not going to last long without complications and trust issues because this is Matt Murdock’s love life we’re talking about, but I like them. They have solid chemistry and I can tell she’ll be involved with the plot in a meaningful way as the Fisks’ marriage counselor. I wonder if Fisk knows she’s involved with Matt? It didn’t seem like he did. When Matt finds out, he’s going to take the proximity as a threat for sure.

The biggest hurdle this show will have to get over for me to truly enjoy it is a justification for why we’re essentially treading old ground. Season 3 was brilliant because it was Matt at his lowest, yet he rose above. So far—and I can see seeds growing beneath the surface, so I hope this is all intentional—I don’t quite get the sense that Matt is lower. He’s putting on a good face, maybe. He’s standing outside church but not going in. He’s desperate to reconnect with Karen in one scene. He’s paying close attention to Fisk, but that’s not abnormal by any means. But for such a devastating loss, it feels odd that he’s being a bit… dare I say, well-adjusted? He’s going on dates? Yes, he shakes with anger when Bullseye is sentenced, but again, that’s a pretty average response. As of episode two, it feels like this arc of his could’ve been served much the same if Foggy only almost died and Matt still only almost killed Dex. Maybe I’m being hypercritical. After all, he does snap arms at the end of episode two, so clearly he still has anger issues (those guys were going to kill him though, so…). It just feels like the Netflix show would’ve indicated Matt being more unwell about it all even if the intention was still to show that he’s putting on a brave face to the world and trying to move forward. Again, maybe that’s an unfair comparison. Maybe it’s a result of his growth in Season 3 that Matt is reacting like this, which means they’ve actually kept his character development intact. But then… how does that reconcile with him having intended to kill Dex? I feel like post-S3 Matt would’ve been more broken up about losing Foggy than this, given the threat he tells Fisk about going after Vanessa if he lays a hand on Karen or Foggy, so it’s not a matter of the character growth issue.

Karen seems oddly well-adjusted, too. She moved away and that’s it? She’s not sticking her nose in the business of Fisk running for mayor? She didn’t get utterly inflamed about it the moment he announced his candidacy? I get they lost Foggy and now life is different. I get that they may not want to stick their necks out and get each other or themselves killed in the process. But Karen Page is insane. She’s every bit as impulsive and reckless and righteous as Matt, every bit as persistent and brilliant and determined as Foggy, and every bit as focused and unhinged and stubborn as Frank. I could actually see Matt backing down before Karen, because in his guilt and depression Matt isolates himself. He becomes convinced the world is better off without him interfering, whereas Karen becomes incensed that no one is doing anything to stop the world from getting worse, so she throws caution to the wind and buries herself in research until she finds something that inevitably lands her in hot water. Trying to expose the truth is her coping mechanism. It’s possible this was just too much, but I’d like to see why that is and how it affects her instead of just getting the general impression.

Season 3 was also brilliant because it was a true victory for Matt. His “you don’t get to change who I am” speech was the greatest possible victory because it’s the only one independent of all external factors. There will always be a villain who inevitably gets the upper hand, whether that’s Bullseye or Kingpin or someone else entirely. Nothing Matt can do will ever stop that. The only thing he’s truly in control of is himself and whether or not he stays true to his values. I see why Matt wanted to kill Dex. I think that makes perfect sense for his character and I’m honestly surprised he let go of the desire within a year. Scratch that—I’m surprised he let go that very night on the roof, when he surely sensed Dex survive the fall (but again, that’s where the Netflix show would’ve indicated Matt sensing his heartbeat/breathing and maybe he’d have a crisis about what to do; Disney missed an opportunity there and the scene felt a little empty because of it).

My concern with all this is twofold. First, it’s a rehash of S3’s conflict. Matt wanted to kill someone, it would even be “best” if he did, but morally he’s against it, so he can’t without losing the core of who he is. Second, where do we go from here? Where do we take Matt’s character where he has not previously gone, or where he could use deeper exploration? Matt’s already had a crisis of faith (in real life that isn’t a one-and-done thing, so they could do it again, but they’d have to be clever to keep it from feeling repetitive). Matt’s already faced the moral dilemma of killing someone he hates and who is a danger to the people he loves, and he came out on top in the most impactful way. How do you add to that? By exploring his grief? His anger? He desire for revenge? How do you add to “this city rejected you” when Fisk will have to be rejected by the city again?

I hope I’m proven shortsighted and unimaginative when I say I’m not sure you can. I hope there’s a beautiful story awaiting me in the rest of the episodes. Maybe it’ll be about grief and loss and anger and addiction and religion and hope. I just don’t trust Disney implicitly anymore. They’ve had too many flops and slops these days for me to believe in where it’s going before it gets there.

I'm glad you mention people with metabolic disorders like, as a fat guy with a metabolic disorder it's really frustrating seeing how people dismiss that as a factor in weight gain and maintenance, including doctors :/ like the number of professionals I have been to in my life- let alone regular old ignorant assholes I encounter- who think telling me to eat healthy and exercise more is going to unlock the secret skinny person that they've miraculously discovered hidden inside a lazy fatty... like you of all people should know my thyroid numbers buddy

I also think that like, something got twisted here. If you're fat you shouldn't give up on your body. You should still eat healthy. Even if eating a perfectly healthy and functional diet doesn't lose you a single pound, you should still do it and it's really important to drive that home to people that are overweight because they are at a higher risk of depression and developing eating disorders, many of which can include binge and binge/restrict type disorders. Because fat people also have a harder time moving around, its just easier for fat people not to. But again, you should build up muscle strength and be able to move around comfortably regardless of how much you weigh.

Being fat doesn't mean, necessarily, that your body is swimming in glucose and carbs and salt, but fat people that don't see themselves ever getting "better" might allow for that to happen because of how much they hate the way they look. Thats why "healthy at any size" is an important movement. Its not about saying "yep. Any size is healthy no matter what!" its that you should try to to be healthy no matter what the scale says. Thats *always* a good thing and *always* better for you.

As a personal anecdote there was a time of my life that I had stopped exercising and didn't give a SHIT what I was putting in my body. I had developed a very bad walking gait that was actively injuring my joints. My core muscles were so weak I couldn't sit up in a chair for longer than twenty minutes without the base of my spine throbbing in level 10 stabbing pain that was so bad it made me dizzy. My gut health was awful and every trip to the toilet was miserable and exhausting.

Then, I started eating right. Then I started exercising. I opted to sit at my desk instead of lounging in bed or on my couch, in an upright chair to start building my core up again. I went on walks. I got a physio consultation and found out that I literally had to relearn how to walk, and even now have to make sure I'm not rocking side to side on my ankles and grinding the joint into the socket with each step, every time I go walking. I have not stepped on a scale in four years. I'm honestly not sure if I am comfortable doing that. I don't know how much weight I lost, but I know it's not nothing because pants that were tight on me three years ago now fall off my ass if I don't cinch them with a belt. (That i had to cut new notches into, because when i bought it I could barely buckle it up around my middle, but now the smallest notch was still too loose.)

I'm not really thinking about my size, I'm not thinking about the number. I'm thinking about how good it feels to feel nourished. How much I can appreciate the sweetness of young vegetables because I rarely eat things like snack cakes anymore. I can go on a six hour hike and my legs feel fine. (even if Im a little slow.) I am more in tune with my body and I don't eat until my stomach hurts, feel guilty, and then punish myself for the rest of the week by not eating anything... only to inhale everything in the cupboard at 2am because of how much I've starved myself. Going to the toilet isn't painful and miserable anymore. I am still fat. I probably always will be, thats the phenotype I've been given. But I just am happier, more comfortable, and more capable since I started giving a shit about my body regardless of what size and shape it is.

All that to say that distorting this and the ideas that go into this sort of positive, healthy mindset into "if you just eat better and work out you'll be skinny" no the fuck you won't. the healthy skinny svelte version of me you're making up in your head doesn't exist, even at my peak, even at my most healthy, I'm gonna be chunky and stout and I'm fine with that. And if you're my Doctor, you better get fine with it too.

frey. give me your lonelyeyes hot takes im having brainrot again

ooooo let me think

peter is transmasc and jonah is some form of genderfluid which means that sometimes they're transhet.

not gonna go too deep into it but both of them are switches, i know it in my soul.

jonah chose elias as a vessel partially because he was sick of the difference in wealth between him and peter. because my headcanon is that james wright was not a wealthy man and tbh neither was the original jonah magnus. so picking a bouchard was mostly a power play.

but also jonah never misses an opportunity to remind peter of his rich kid status.

neither of them are into pet names. at all. jonah's big on calling people by their titles, so he'll sometimes call peter "the captain", and peter might slip up occasionally and call jonah "james", but that's the extent of it.

mona’s self liner notes for watashi, c-kun ga suki!

The song is based on a game that I’ve been hooked on lately. Though it’s a little embarrassing to reveal a part of myself that I haven’t shown off before.

I challenged myself to sing in a lower pitch than ever before in the first verse. Don’t I sound cool?!
