"batman and all the bats are just out of touch rich people who run around beating up the poor and mentally ill--" okay, so judging by your inability to engage critically with the narrative framework and the constraints and conventions of the genre, i think you might just not actually like comic books?
#rimi talks#like bruce being ridiculously wealthy is a) a power fantasy b) an explanation for how he is able to be batman#and c) a fantasy of what if the wealthy weren't inherently evil but instead wanted to use their money to help people#if you are not able to conceive of these notions in the context they are presented in (a fantasy) i think you just don't like this genre.#will i regret making this post only time will tell

oooh wait so the plot hole of âwhy doesnt a spirit medium just channel the victims spiritâ is literally bc the DL-6 spirit channeling cant be repeated huh
#im so fucking slow I was brushing my teeth thinking abt Gregory edgeworth in mayas clothes#and I havenât played aa1 so I donât actually know the details of it in case I get to play it for myself#but they brought up the spirit channeling mistake with misty and how it basically shot down the kurain techniques credibility right#and like. I guess trying to do that again would be a repeat of that incident which ended up with an innocent person being convicted#so Phoenix not only has to channel Mia because sheâs the smarter better lawyer but also because summoning the victim#isnt exactly the first time itâs happened and gotten someone the guilty verdict. huh#replaying justice for all 2-4 so the case with Maya spirit channeling#and after playing aa3 I can really appreciate how much thought they put into the fey family and how a lot of the games events#revolve around it.#Mayas powers arent a âlong lost ancestorâ as an excuse for her having powers. it is clearly and heavily expanded on#and the infighting makes so much sense when you consider the power differences between branch and main families.. and Mia becoming a lawyer#to find out what happened to her mother AND after being aware of that bloodshed and what it means for Maya#the way she chose Maya and didnât want that for them. the way she put distance between them on purpose so they wouldnât become like that#and Pearl is acknowledged as having more power than Maya but sheâs fucking eight and loves Maya that she doesnât see that as any#kind of power imbalance. heck when Morgan uses her for her plan in bridge to the turnabout Pearl was happy to do it#because Morgan said it was for pearls good and Pearl assumed that meant it would be good for Maya too and I đđ#the branch system was originally made so that even if you werenât chosen as the master you could still support the family by protecting the#main branch. and the irony of that being the reason why main family members are targeted to be usurped#iris outright rejecting the notion of communicating to the dead and everything the fey clan stands for#thereâs so much fucking lore to this and I donât see it talked abt enough?????????!?????#yapping#ace attorney#as

Arcana is so trans to me but not the mtf trans but like eldritch horror being realized that she likes to be perceived as a mortal woman
nonnie we are holding hands, we share the same vision, the same dream, the same eldritch transgenderism <3
there was a tweet recently (I think it was a tweet?) about a very specific type of character design--non sexualized, nude humanoids presented as otherwordly and entirely alien, off kilter, merging monstruous characteristics and that's exactly what I love and think about when it comes to the thing Arcana summons, the Guiding One's Creation
Arcana is so transgender to me in a very specific way of using the feminine figure as a way of both luring and keeping everyone at bay <33333
#not a prompt#reverse 1999#something something the use of the feminine figure in religon as both a holy AND unholy thing#the biggest contradiction ever. upholding the female body as a pure virginal and holy temple but also as a sinful cavern of temptation#the feelings of hatred and love. to reject and reclaim womanhood#something abouttttt. how do i put this into words#arcana choosing a female body as a way to represent both of these sides. or to profit from the preconceived notions that come with it#something to be hated something to be celebrated. also found in her identity as an arcanist#(the way she fights for arcanists rights while at the same time fighting any arcanist that doesnt fit her specific ideals)#shes eldritch transgender to me youre so right anon youre so so so right#constantine is playing 9D chess but arcana is playing dwarf fortress and i love thinking about how it permeates into smth like her identity

#where tommy kneels inside a semi-circle of very erect ... men
#if i were in charge of the peaky blinders gay p*rn parody; i'd use this as a cover#peaky blinders#tvedit#peakyblindersgifs#see therer's this play on notions of masculinity where it loops all the way back to being homoerotic and it's sort of granted with most of#them being tommy's brothers and brothers-in-arms and how this has been often used to explore not-quite-straight relations amongst men#without having to spell it out and so on#why is it so sinister though more at 11

annoying conversations happening on twitter this week about dazai and his canonical whoreness .... very ableist delivery of people treating him like a tiny 22 yr old minor who clearly doesn't know what sex is and its getting weeeeeiirrrrd ...........
#like idk and idc about other peoples perceptions but to me dazai fucks#its in the source material regarding the fact that hes a DOG and nobody understands how he manages to charm women#women send him love notes to the office bcs he doesnt give out his address......uses sex as a tool and people can infer what they want#but i dont have it has having any nefarious meaning other than he knows himself well and how to get what he wants#and (in MY mind) enjoys it :p#he says he appreciates ALLLL women#women being official the source content but to me he's a man with no preference :p#what i find ableist is the notion that someone with clear though unstated mental illnesses must be âprotectedâ and âhe doesnt know what#sex is" like come on. we read the same stuff#youre saying it because you think it gets in the way of ur fav ships that he whores around#well guess what!!!!! he does!!!!!#so what!!!!!! live with it!!!!!! everyone else has to!!!!!#women cry in the source content and i infer that to be bcs he just straight up ghosts them after#maybe he sees a couple of people a few times but for the most part#he dips </3#but we dont need to pretend hes innocent and like#sex - afraid#im tirrredddd of these takes they stink and theyre not fun to read#tldr: my dazai fucks (and WANTS TO!!!!!!!! SEEKS IT OUT!!!! ENJOYS IT!!!! SKILLED LOVER THAT U CANT HAVE!!!!)#(unless u get him.....then hes devoted teehee<3)#enuff said i think#ACTUALLY FURTHER POINT. hes a flirt and a whore. PROUD!!!!!!!!!#he gives u the eyes and he'll have u wrapped around his fingerrrr anyway. thats it now

i am so tired of female characters being inherently written as âterrifyingâ or âscaryâ w no respect to their characterisation.
for one, it feels so fake. i know so many women irl (i am one!!!) and there are very few, of any, that i would categorise as âscary as isâ. heck, even if we go by tempersâthe numbers just donât match.
but somehow in fics, every single woman is a terrifying force of nature bc thatâsâŠsomehowâŠthe only way we can think of women? idk?
and also just, itâs such a two dimensional characterisation that i only see w the female characters. all men arenât angry and hex-happy and scary all the time. theyâre affable, chill, respond to situations thoughtfully instead of always resorting to violence.
i think it also bothers me bc the anger thing flows neatly into the v gendered carefree man child/stuck up fun sponge stereotypes that so many relationships are forced into. itâs just an icky dynamic all around.
and lastly,,,i donât think itâs even normal for a character to be latently terrifying everyone all the time??? unless itâs a specific quirk of theirs??? like women arenât dementors bro chill tf out
#i just get. so frustrated by how women are written#and ofc this isnât just limited to fics#all books have these gendered tropes#and i get so annoyed#the whole thing anger also#is it just feels so disingenuous#bc womanhood & anger (and performing/displaying it) is so complicated bc of socialisation n patriarchy#women are simultaneously not allowed to be angry and portrayed as screechy harpies#and so when characters are written like that it just seems to reinforce these ideas#clearly it bothers me a lot haha#u just canât escape it ykno? thatâs my issue#it makes itâs way into writing on such a subconscious level#and people think theyâre writing a strong female character#when really theyâve just introduced someone with anger issues#like. itâs NOT normal to always be scared of someone and their reactions ok?#and itâs not okay for women to always be parenting the people (men) around them#constantly checking to see if something is dangerous or if theyâre fucking up or do all the responsible things like#how can u not see ur reproducing gendered notions of personality đđ#like plssss#and itâs fiction!!!#we are writing about magic and fantasy#but itâs hard for us to conceive of an alternative perception of womanhood? be so fr bruh#like. i guess what iâm getting at. is that women are also just. People. ykno? we can write them normally#just look at the woman around u for one and youâll get so many ideas đ#even if we just take anger#9 times out of 10 a fem character will be screaming and hexing and throwing her weight around#but you can be angry in so so many ways#and u can even be someone who doesnât GET angry. not in such a way. who canât hold a grudge.#just. i really wish we diversified the way we wrote women. sâall.#penâs yapping

i like to personally think that the Lone Wanderer, obviously raised religious (christian) to some degree, had their incredulity with religion for good after seeing James die.
or maybe even after James left, and they were forced to be the Wasteland's errand person using their morals and beliefs for the good of humanity, but ultimately just being used.
faith slowly fading, turning into hatred and resentment, or maybe just a lost soul wondering why God abandoned them just like everyone else did.
#take this sad thought of mine. needed to verbalize it.#mainly this is how i see it for Luna#faith slowly fading away the second james left#she tries to do everything she can to help out everyone even if she doesnt want to or cant. she'll find a wau#shes got the weight of her parents' passion and life long dream to finish and fulfill in her shoulders#all while being the wastelands sacrifial lamb.#i have so many religious imagery and symbolisms to use for her bc of this#raised catholic & now atheist doesnt help the notion either!!!#lw: luna hayden#lone wanderer#lone wanderer fallout 3#fallout 3#fo3#james fallout 3#religious themes#mod.holotape#thinking too hard

the one thing amiss from nsbu's concept and the general isekai/modern jumanji medias in general is the fact that in the original jumanji all that shit happened in the real life town. people died for real. we need to bring funny games (1997) to the tabletop scene
#not art#me being so aware that doing /horror/ horror is functionally no-go for d20: okay but hear me out#this idea actually sorta breaks down if u bring in the notion of stakes bc the point kinda is that the pc characters Die#the other parallel-world-mania movie I was thinking abt wrt this is nightmare on elm street and well. thats even bleaker lol#but honestly it might be fun if you play it play-to-lose style like the zone rpg#you come into the game knowing whether you'll die or not. only one player character makes it to the end (our final girl)#the rest is carnage nsbu style#I think nsbu's g13 plot beat just makes me think of like. ok what if a character makes it out of a tape#and then. what if that tape is a slasher movie and the slasher is loose#.....this would honestly work better as a comic or movie lmao. but I do like the idea of a horror/comedy campaign#of this using nsbu's really bombastic no-hold-barrels ridiculous-feat-of-power-based design#eh. simply my pre-nap vision u know how it is. need more blood in me is all

this isn't really a problem on tumblr & moreso on other platforms but i do wonder at what point the osc went from very obscure to being deemed "cringe..."
#as someone who has been here for 10 years it used to be this obscure & tightknit community of creators sharing what theyre passionate about#nobody knew what an Object Show was... and in offline spaces thats still true i suppose but#i had a lot of fun introducing object shows to people in 2016. people didnt automatically have some kind of preconceived notion about them#< i dont really let it get to me because the idea of calling something cringe is just so incredibly meanspirited and bad faith#and they arent the kinds of people youd want in the community anyways#the current popularity of the osc is earned. im glad theres more spotlight on passionate creators that have deserved it for a long time#however it also did bring with it bucketloads of negativity that make me miss how it used to be sometimes )':#Its ok. Both fans and creators are thriving despite it all. Our crops are watered. Its a net positive#Its just a little disappointing to see people who have never even seen what theyre talking about dismiss years of hard work like that#not art#< i dont normally ramble on here but i didnt really want to do it on twt either. scratching my head

I keep thinking that this Gojo is just like Sukuna. I truly don't see much of a difference between them beyond the human/curse point of view
#If not Sukuna then some other more palatable special degree curses like the one he just killed that talked about the new humanity#It truly looks like that I don't know#Trying to be unbiased about the pretty concepts I take personally#and trying to ignore the silly fact that Sukuna's domain is literally called temple of evil or something (makes one want to ask#so many things like why the hell does he call it such? isn't evil good for you? Isn't a species kind of thing?#Why are you adhering to human notions and conceptualisations if you seem so beyond them and think nothing of them?)#Gojo is quite terrifying from a curse point of view. He is cruel and merciless. He can't be reasoned with and he is playful. He has his fun#His powers are not much different in structure from those of a curse and he said that the power capacity of a sorcerer comes from birth#So it's ontological. It's not just skill. It's an essential differentiation. Just like curses#It's just... I don't know. It's almost as if he were a curse himself. He talks about emotions being the source of curses?#Maybe that's the difference? Was Sukuna born that way too?#I don't know. I keep thinking that he is quite idk monstrous in a very Sukuna way. He isn't terrible like Sukuna is like with the kids#But he is human after all. He does adhere to human categories. Sukuna is something else#And yet Gojo uses the kids. He draws lines and he is caring and gentle and sweet in his way#but he very much uses the kids and is a bit flippant about it. And he is human#I don't know. It seems completely intentional this similarity between Gojo and the curses and Gojo and Sukuna in particular#Sukuna seems interested in Megumi while Gojo seems interested in Itadori and idk I just keep thinking#but I'm not even know about what or how#I find this man very hard to trust haha the parallels are intriguing#I think this piece of worldbuilding has potential as well as their characterisations#I hope the author will do something with all this#I talk too much#Jujutsu Kaisen#Gojo Satoru#Sukuna

the ultimate goalpost-mover says she loves you very much.
#she's temperamental and takes non-slights personally and hates your father#and sometimes when she doesn't eat she insists you can't eat#and when she does eatïŒand when she does eatïŒshe insists you should.#she expects you to be everything you had ever promised. she expects good grades and a postgraduate degree and she insists you get up now.#she insists you give up warmth and comfort and safety for her sake. she expects you to plunge and crush your bones#against a cliff on the way. she expects you to stay up all night - she says you must be a researcher and an artist and an investor#and the most eligible lover and she says it won't be enough. she looks at you with all the kindness of a mother#or a very angry cardiac surgeon and explains how you Must be enough. she says let me hold you. you hit the ground crawling and now#i need you to stumble up and move. be clumsy but move. and then walk. and then sprint to where i stand. she expects you to finish#the thousand-page-long book on mathematics in a maximum of two years. she demands competence at archery and toned muscles#she demands time for her and time for your friends. she threatens often. she says i'll leave you and there is no getting me back.#you won't be sorry enough. you want to kill me? that's what i thought. one day she's pacing agitated#and she says i'm going to leave this dead fucking country. somewhere in mainland europe god i dont know- i dont know where. and so you must#learn to stand after weeks of rot and order up and think of where she can live and how to get you there.#she says im sorry for being so harsh to us when we were a child. so i say it too.#she says i'll be alive only if you let me live so i say it too. she says i believe in you and i ask her why and she shuts me up.#she says get up. run the counterfactuals so vivid you that each part of me becomes a notion in your mind clear and distinct and bloody#and then you'll owe me good. none of this is for you.#she says run baby give me everything you are everything between your ribs and so i say it too.#she says give me everything and i have to oblige.

Idc if it's a fictional character. the way you speak and act about black characters in your fav media is and always will be, telling of how you think about us in reality. don't be surpised if it makes people wary when it comes to interaction
#i dont like the notion that its completely seperate simply bc these are characters#youve internalized how to act towards us ofc that extends to cartoons or actors that you perceive the same way???#again its quite telling#this isnt rlly about anything specific/is about literally everything ever#this also obviously applies particularly to woman and fat people#queer people too but so many in fandom r white and queer and act atrociously so#youre not part of this conversation in any way other than your poor behavior#like this is mostly about black peoole and obviously none of the others mentioned are like mutally exclusive but still yknow#moth.txt
