jesse HAAATES him

well, sort of. he does think lukas is a nice guy.. but he also thinks lukas is a huge jerk at the same time. i mean c'mon, dude doesn't really do that much to stop his friends from bullying jesse's, and he can be kind of underhanded sometimes (mostly when it comes to building.. or being a team leader)

to jesse, who's VERY protective over axel, olivia and reuben and really values his friends, it's really hard for him to keep himself from developing a grudge on lukas, no matter how cordial lukas tries to be

which is a shame, because lukas would really, really like to be his friend.

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

happy glasses day! 1001

Rock seems to have had a talent for breaking things as a kid… so if he ever needed glasses, they likely ended up like this.

I don't feel like going through my blog to search for the post, but called it:

And then they didn't even show Bruce or Dick's reaction to Damian getting kidnapped, only Barbara's pretty generic one.

Can someone tell DC's writers that it's kind of hard to care when not even the characters in the story have emotional reactions to what is happening? If you have someone's child getting kidnapped shouldn't we see the parent's reaction first?

Also the only "joke" the writer seems capable of making with Damian is that he's constantly getting told that he's a bad child/person, which is something I'm pretty tired of general but in this storyline it's especially annoying because so far Damian has contributed absolutely zero to the plot except for needing to be rescued by other people.

i saw that review on letterboxd of all the rhetorical questions for barbie and like… the more i think abt it, the more i’m certain that the review’s author fundamentally misunderstood the film. barbie land is not a utopia in the way that adults would think abt a utopia, like the author seems to imply… barbie land is canonically shaped by little girls playing with their dolls. that’s why we see a supreme court. thats why there are nobel prizes and authors and lawyers (also because that’s how the toys are marketed… would there be a mermaid in ur utopia??? there would be in mine!). that’s why barbie and ken don’t necessarily know what a boyfriend and girlfriend are “meant” to do (not to mention that the author’s assumption that sex is fundamental to a romantic relationship is problematic at best). that’s why barbie is indifferent to ken (i personally had the life size barbie and my sister had the barbie dream house—we had the working woman barbie game, i had the genie barbie gameboy game, we had countless barbie dolls; we didn’t own a single ken doll lol). barbie land is a world created by and for little girls as they play with their dolls (she says in a comment on the original post “don’t little girls play with their dolls in a sexual way?” and yeah, sure, some do. but i didn’t and i’m sure there are others who didn’t… just like there are some girls who completely mutilated their own dolls and made them into horrifying creatures)… that’s why stereotypical barbie starts having an existential crisis—because a grown woman begins to play with her doll again and starts reshaping barbie land… we, as the audience, are meant to understand this as an outlier to how barbie land is canonically created. the author also calls ken “crass” and “slovenly”… maybe after he builds the patriarchy in barbie land he becomes “crass” but i wouldn’t call him slovenly at any point in the film (i suppose this is just semantics tho).

also, please stop saying that barbie land is a reversal of the real world. it isn’t, even if that may have been the filmmakers intentions. again, barbie is indifferent to ken. she does not abuse him, she does not treat him like he exists to service her by cooking or cleaning or providing other favors for her… barbie does not oppress ken in the way that men oppress women in the real world (we have no idea if he owns property or where he lives and she doesn’t seem to particularly care—extremely different from the fact that women couldn’t have their own bank accounts or credit cards, get a mortgage on their own or divorce their husbands through no fault divorce until the second half of the 20th century in the us… within a lot of our mothers and grandmothers lifetimes!!!!) and it is a complete disservice to conflate or equate the two. we actually see barbie drawing clear boundaries around her time and space in regards to ken—this is not a reversal of misogyny as women and girls experience it in the real world, by any stretch of the imagination.

is the film perfect or revolutionary or radical? of course not. it was produced by major studios and corporations in hollywood. of course the barbie movie is a fucking commercial for barbie, like… to expect anything different is just extremely dumb on your part if u saw the trailer, saw the marketing, saw the interviews, bought a ticket, and sat ur ass in the theater, like be fuckin serious. but don’t do women and girls a disservice by discrediting the world and thoughts and ideas it could open up for them by seeing themselves be taken seriously on screen in a major summer blockbuster with stupid fucking questions because u want to feel superior to everyone else because YOU and ONLY YOU see through the capitalist marketing of lipstick pop girlboss feminism (especially when juxtaposed with the way the female characters are treated in oppenheimer, which we cannot help but compare to the barbie film with the viral marketing of barbenheimer).

me, spamming @shinygoku with screenshots from "thomas and the fat controller's engines": you know, there are so many good bits here that you might start to get the idea that this is a good book

me: but you'd be wronnng

the genshin manhua/webtoon is such a boon and curse for diluc stans tbh

there are. so many interesting lore ties.the way the delusion was implied to be for him, specifically, from the same experiments that had been literally injecting people with god residue. the fact that he no seen lingering side effects from 4 straight years of use. the way his eyes change and glow when using the delusion. the fatui symbol on his mask. the khaenri'ah star in his office, the khaenri'ah star in that single panel on his bartender outfit. the fact he literally broke his delusion

and none of it has ever been touched on since. sure, theres a thousand and one ties to the ragnvindrs in-game (hellloooo mage n and the hexenzirkel, windblume, the dragonspine glider) but its such a fucking pity that not even his skin, which literally has him using elemental energy without a vision or delusion mentions it.

No because Zhao speculating felt like such a

"I bet you're wondering why that happened. ;) heres maybe a reason ebina was deep..."

moment

no literally- like other antags' endgame Deep Moment scenes worked because there was SOME build up throughout the game to key us in on them from a deeper level but it just doesnt work with ebina

I couldn’t be less excited for the future of Star Wars, lol. The Mandalorian was originally marketed as a completely original show with new characters and stories, but it’s all turned into one giant Dave Filoni circlejerk that pushes his boring Clone Wars/Rebels OC’s front and center in the Star Wars universe at the expense of already established characters, and yet fans who accused the sequel trilogy of doing exactly this are for some reason eating all the Mando crap up.

a little 40s doc dump because i need to post my art more often

[dizzytoad]

going to preface this with rest in peace andre braugher of course, he was a great actor and a great man and he has gone too soon

but it is really telling the amount of people im seeing on instagram posting rip andre braugher on their stories who have not said a single word about the genocide in palestine

its pretty gross to me that they have more compassion for an american actor from their fave police propaganda show, than the tens of thousands of palestinian people murdered, and millions more displaced and dying of famine and disease.

Bruce and Damian having to solve a problem as civilians sounds like it could be fun.

I hope the "blast from the past" is Damian's teacher we've seen in the flashbacks and not Talia (using Talia for this again would be extremely annoying and overdone).

Once again this book gets undermined by what is going on in the Batman book, Bruce doesn't need someone else to come in to try to get Damian to leave his father's side, Bruce is doing a pretty damn good job at this all on his own.

obsessed with comedic potential of mika’s vision tbh

>become huffman >loving parents >get a younger brother with insanely blond hair (does teyvat know about genetic inheritance) >become knight of favonius >dedicated at work, get drunk after work with knight buddies >not really put together but that’s ok >little brother joins kof reconnaissance company! maybe it runs in the family? >little brother gets a cryo vision. >what.

>rethink life decisions and whether little brother has a hidden angst to him that you never realized

(alternatively since his only cryo vision wielder references are probably diona, eula, and kaeya, and he probably doesn’t know the personal struggles of most of them in detail, maybe the train of thought was just “oh no mika’s going to become Not Normal (horrified)” <- sorry we put your little brother through the vision blender. yeah he got cryo. sorry.)
