i think my new thing is gonna be saying shit on here that would get me death threats on tiktok. the actoar books are bad
#people loooooooove this series#and if you do then like by all means enjoy it#but i did not like it at all#i thought the worldbuilding was so weird#and the magic system made NO sense#i need consistently sarah come on#and every single character annoyed me#i didnt like any of them#the main girl was whiny and the main guy was flat#and yes i know they develop in book two or whatever#but THEY SHOULD HAVE A STRONG BASE IN BOOK ONE#i should not have to wait for them to be tolerable to read about#they have already committed the worst sin they possibly could: BEING ANNOYING#anyway#also should clarify im not even really a book snob#ive read tons of stuff#and i even like other fantasy/romance/trashy books#but this one was bad#acotar

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world
#im talking about griffith btw#guts i feel i get intuitively - maybe because i have some personality traits in common with him#and we get more about his life concretely told to us in canon. so he is a bit easier to pin down as a character and feel attached to for me#but whenever i was reading the manga i just kept wanting more insight about griffith's actions and feelings#like ok yeah its fun to have mysterious antagonists and suspense /tension etc but its also fun to feel like you deeply understand them too#and i felt like that was a bit missing from him for me in canon#so reading about him in analysis and fics is the most fun for me rn#he always felt kinda half unreal to me- which maybe was the point of him - but i wanted a bit more about his childhood or something?#and wished we had more stuff explicitly from his pov in the story to read or explanation about his transformation or wtv#and now he's so much more closed off to me even than he was in the golden age. i keep waiting for him to explain stuff and he does not#ANYWAYS all this rambling to say some people out there are very good at interpreting him and making his like. insecurities#more obvious to me bc i didnt really get that side of him from canon intuitively well#also im really enjoying reading the first few berserk fics ive read#there may not be a ton of them out there but there is def writing talent in the fandom#i'll share some recs once i'm done sifting through most of what's out there to read#also (not to tie everything back to death note but it IS my home fandom after all)#i feel griffith is obvs the more light-like character here and L maybe a bit guts-like? but unlike berserk in death note#light is the one you get to know best and L is the mysterious / unreal one you don't get a lot of concrete insight into#and in the DN fandom I can read the more mysterious character intuitively but had to warm up to the less mysterious one instead#and the mystery of L makes sense to me and doesnt bug me as much due to like - he HAS to hide a lot about himself or else he will die lol#so some similarities there but also some opposite feels as well#berserk spoilers#p

I do have on thing to say about the fact that "one of the passengers is a 19 year old" for the Titan.
A 19 year old is still a "teenager" but that is a whole ass adult. That is an adult who has been an adult for a year and acting like he has no self agency to not make the choices he did is just ridiculous and I'm seeing *way* to many people on this site pretty much just infantalize him. 18 is *also* an adult. A new adult, but still an *adult*. If you are seriously in the mindset of "but that's a child still!" You need to step away from Tumblr and just think about how you view the various human stages of development.
19 year olds aren't kids. That man made that choice to go down there.
(also as a trans man who's rights are under attack and that people are using the argument of "kids can't consent" to get their foot in the door and then further take them away from literal adults, some under the argument of "well a lot of y'all are autistic and Don't Really Understand what's happening even though you're adults!!" This shit infuriates me. Stop infantilizing people!!! This may not be about my rights as a trans person but the issue of infantilizing literal adults is still the same!!!)
#titan#oceangate#the titanic#like it sucks people probably died but honestly i don't hold a ton of sympathy for these people. who are all ADULTS.#like they made the choices#they all signed the literal waivers knew to some extent the risk#and eithsr all adults have agency or none of us do.#just bc we make the choice not to read the full text of like phone legalese doesnt mean we arent able to if we take fhe extra time to do it#there is argument to be made that stuff Iikw that is needlessly overcomplicated and should be more thoroughly regulated but for corps#not on the “oh well pwople cant agree to phone contracts now bc they're too hard to understand :(”#like. do you see how ridiculous that sounds#and the titan waivers *woudlnt have been anywhere as complicated*. ive read risk of death is mentioned 3x on the first page alone.#can't quote ehere so it moght not be true but still. point being its a literal trip to rhe bottom of fhe ocean.#that alone carries inherent risks *i dont want to take even in the safest submarine*.

Idk how long this chapter is gonna be but I've got 20k words of it not only written but revised and thrown in the ao3 draft. If that means anything
#''revised'' does not mean its as good as it can possibly get#it just means ive read it and edited as much as i physically can and decided its good enough#most of it was done without a lot of notes#but ive got tons of notes on how the remaining stuff is gonna do. so it should go smoother now#i hope

It's thinking abt Gwenna hours again
#jasper rambles#all i have is disconnected snippets but i wanna write like. an actual one shot to post on ao3#ive never rlly posted oc fic stuff before tho and i dont read a ton of oc fic just bc when im into a fandom its generally not what i seek ou#t? i think its fantastic bc like. same dude. but i just tend to lean towards either fully original stuff or fic of the existing characters?#im the same way w like. i tend to read canon divergence aus over full on aus. like im not a modern au or high school au person? theyre epic#i just dont seek them out#all that to say lemme know if theres any sort of etiquette abt writing ocs i should know abt

Did or does anything inspire your art? It’s so fun and unique
I do have artists (both Established and like Peers/Mutuals) I enjoy and I do pluck traits from art I like as I see fit to mold my own but I don't have any conscious inspiration ykwim...ive had ppl tell me my art looks like or reminds them of things i like, whether "vibe based" (stuffed animals) or a specific media (care bears) but i dont consciously draw inspiration from care bears ykwim... I could tell u i loved archie comics as a kid and i love the art style but thats not a good answer to the question bc it doesnt present itself in my work (and if it does its not on purpose) ykwim...i hope dis makes sense.
I always bring up Urasawa when this question comes up, like I love urasawa's art and often save lots of it for inspiration but my work doesnt really ever come out as an emulation of his as a result, it's more osmosed as I try to figure out how I want to draw, bc I haven't seen anyone who draws the way I'd like to yet. (Also using him as an example, as this is how I feel about all my other "inspirations").
Theres tons of different ways to draw every possible trait of a face or body etc, so I just do that, taking shapes and such from other artists i observe along the way without really picking up the influence (and if i do its never for very long), since I've yet to find anything im very happy with
#ive never understood how people do those inspiration boards and you can SEE how all the people they list influence their art#if i could scrounge together enough artists that inspire me then i dont think you'd even be able to tell unless you Guessed#if that makes sense#similarly i do have thousands of folders of artists and mutuals' art i have saved#to go look back at for inspiration...but its not direct inspiration#like zaftiguy2 on twitter (NSFW) is an inspiration of mine....you would never guess though bc what I osmose from his work doesn't#present itself very upfront in my stuff‚ if at all#does this make sense? i feel when ppl ask others this question is bc they wanna see more art adjacent to that of the person theyre asking#but unfortunately its not like that for me ykwim :(#id be much much better if there was someone who drew the way i want to draw that i could copy off of LOL#my art is so bad BECAUSE i feel like im making it from scratch. and im bad at coming up with things#anonymous#skunk mail#so thank u for thinking its unique bc i personally think its very generic as a result#like. entry level art style#off the top of my head artists i LIKE are kemafili manaohu and yawningyawns#on twitter....kemafili is on here though (kemafili1 on twitter)#those are artists i have in my ''fave'' folder. theres others i think but thats the only ones i can think of rn#i also have tons of artist folders saved in general but read my above statements about inspiration#eraserplains is another one... they're on tumblr too#i like raymodule (tumblr) and robottoast (twitter) but again not in a way where im like wow i want to draw exactly like that lets try

Alternate Title - "Angsty Birds"
#angry birds#angry birds memes#angry birds comic#angry birds comic studio#angry birds hal#angry birds stella#angry birds silver#angry birds bubbles#way more headcanon-heavy than the last one#this may as well be a backdoor pilot for any angry birds fanfic i write if/when i miraculously get off my bum and finish meta knightmare iv#yeah i love imagining hal as a failed banjo singer who back-doored into the flock (although usually with terence and bubbles by his side)#and oooooo boy silver!#i LOVE imagining her having a super weird and complicated relationship with the pigs#yeah they almost cooked her and probably indoctrinated her but they also raised her and probably did love her at least a bit#i especially love imagining king smoothcheeks as her estranged older brother who was basically her little brother in all ways but age#(on the off chance you've read my meta knightmare fics they were basically like susie and sirica except if susie were a complete dumb-butt)#also for some reason i just imagine chef pig being the absolute worst to silver and trying to ruin her life at every turn#basically all of this was stuff i imagined for half-rate fic ideas in the late '10s that i never even wrote an outline for...#...but still cared a TON about#don't expect these to be daily i just had two straight bursts of energy#angry birds headcanons#sorta angry comics#angsty birds

redraw from 4 years ago..sneef...and other witchs house things because i recently reread the 9 chapter manga and had the most agonizing experience (would def recommend) contentwarnings in tags....ehehe
#kirbyliker12art#the witch's house#ok so theres parental neglect and psychological abuse uhh a handful of killing and some body horror#theres so much psychological torment i know i said this but i cant stress this enough this will Absolutely Ruin You#the witchs house is about the corruption of an innocent wish after being used by another and punishment never being delt#theres a shit ton of unreliable narration and reading between the lines and reoccurring symbols and other insane stuff#ive genuinely never seen a character get written in such an unlikeable way but in a very slightly pitiful way(and 100% being intentional)#theres also the light novel this was based on (The Diary Of Ellen) n theres some small details and symbolism exclusive to that#like. ok i cant really say it here i dont wanna spoil but thats why its better to read it after the manga#u can notice all the details not present in the manga and think abt all da implications#however said body horror is elaborated on in a more detailed way and since its text u cant really skip past that as easily#u can prob pirate the manga if im bein honest and theres a fan translation link for the light novel on the wiki page at the bottom#why is this so weirdly well written its the prequel to an rpgmaker game .u guys know what witchs house rpg is right..u better#u dont have to know what happens in the game before reading i think its more intense that way (the game is more surprising though)

you should read Batgirl (2000)! I know you said bat comics don't really appeal to you but batgirl is one of the best comics I've read personally
HMM...... i think i just might...
#i've had a ton of people suggest it as a good batfam run#the grit of gotham doesnt appeal to me#i like bright and colorful (flash and green lantern stuff)#so aside from JLA and JLI comics ive never read anything batman-y#which doesnt even count#so I WILL. my promise to you anon#dc

okay can we have a new rule that if you're my friend and know I struggle with rsd from adhd + you're planning on hanging out with mutual friends but specifically aren't inviting me for whatever reason. Maybe Don't Tell Me About It
#id just rather not know man. even if I cant go or dont particularly want to im going to get stung by it and it rly sucks#its a TON of extra effort i have to put in to emotionally navigate that information without overreacting and making it an issue#wait actually maybe i do need to sit down with her and explain this more explicitly. bc she probably doesnt rly know abt it#even tho ive mentioned it shes rly terrible at reading ppl and i probably dont let on much abt it anyway bc im used to dealing w it#ugh. but also its rly embarrassing to talk abt and ill have to tread so carefully to make sure it doesnt get misinterpreted. hmm#but itd be worth it if she stopped so. ill give it some thought#it makes me feel so unreal sometimes bc i cant always tell if im justifiably upset or if im 'just overreacting' so i assume the latter-#most of the time to give myself space to work thru the emotion and minimise the damage i might cause if i AM just overreacting#but then sometimes later on i realise that it was justified but its too late to bring it back up and anyway ive worked through it#and idk. theres smth self disrespectful abt it all im tired of making space all the time and never taking any up myself#im not THAT upset rn like this is a v minor thing but still. might be time to start nipping this stuff in the bud#aaanyway#im procrastinating eating bc i cooked a nice meal but now im not in the mood to eat it 😭😭 but i gotta fuel up.....#ill find smth to watch hopefully thatll do the trick#yawns so loud bye for now#.diaries

I am so glad I decided to avoid manhwa/manhua after getting back into reading manga online last year. There is literally way too fucking many and I get massive FOMO so it makes it so incredibly overwhelming.
I already have dozens of tabs open of manga to get to, I cant have another several dozen shojosei isekai rebirth revenge and k-drama romances
#desiree talks#i already dont like action bc its boring#i had a bunch of ns/fw josei manga and a ton of BL tabs open like 2 years ago#and ive been avoiding that#i like a good revenge or ‘fixing past mistakes to make lives better’ regen shojosei manhwa but im avoid that too#and the het romances bc at a point they all blend together#and you just hope to god that it’s executed beter than the last#otherwise WHAT IS THE POINT#i’ve been reading some more horror spooky stuff#which isnt common for manhwa#some b/c-grade stuff is fun just to see wtf happens#i have some shoujo i’d like to read at some point#some slice of life dealing with grief (chichikogusa is really good)#some semi-educational slice of life ; supernatural etc#i’m over 60 series so far this year#last year from may to dec was a little over 100#so im really hoping to hit like 200 at the end of the year#and actually make a dent in my to-read tabs i already have open

im not a even a fan of the "hellaverse" but i have seen helluva boss and with all the twitter uproar over the hazbin ep4 leaks i went and found a reaction video of the full ep on yt so i could see how bad it really was and. jesus christ. theres certainly analysis of the visuals that could be had regarding the original criticisms but for me the episode was more like... 1. angel dust is the exact same character as fizzarolli 2. hellaverse is never going to break away from writing its characters like a whump fic is it and 3. this is an absolutely horrible portrayal of sex workers. vivienne pleaseeeee get your head out of the yaoi bin and remind yourself of like. women and misogyny. and stop writing all your sex worker/sexually abused (notice how that is grouped together) characters in the same way. sex workers arent all victims who need to be saved from their jobs
#sorry i just already had a ton of thoughts on how poorly i thought fizzarolli was written#half for the writers riding too much on whump standards and thus ignoring the glaring fundamental issues in his life#and then blaming all of his problems on being cutely insecure#but also in the like. misogyny. i get it we fandomers like yaoi but please. HOW could you look at those 2 women villains#in s2e7 and decide that was okay. that was egregious#ive just been thinking about this shit way too much and i kind of want to dump a proper analysis of it but also. sigh.#do i REALLY want to be blogging about hazbin and helluva#then again i also feel the need to say stuff because im willing to bet that anyone on YT whos making hellaverse analysis#isnt familiar with whump and like. as someone who enjoys whump i think it should be required reading for understanding how narratives like#fizzarollis are constructed#because there are very obvious tropes and character archetypes being taken directly from whump-style stuff and it is NOT good in this mediu#as much as i enjoy a bit of catharsis you cant just carry over the same stuff from it and expect your audience to suspend their disbelief i#the same way. because once you start thinking about the actual politics and personal implications of it...#well. you end up with a poorly written show with poorly written characters that inadvertently end up being misogynistic#sigh. if someone wants me to i can share my thoughts on this#i dont entirely hate the hellaverse im more ambivalent on it i guess. i did like some parts of it but as a whole its not my thing#i am someone who enjoys thinking about this stuff and doing some casual textual analysis though#so i cant help thinking about this stuff when watching or reading anything

actually the only bad thing about immortality is with truly infinite time eventually i would find the inclination to watch one of those like. 10 part weeks-long video essay serieses. what a horrible fate
#ramblings?#i was considering putting like. 'read a ton of trash sci-fi YA stuff'#because ive had a close brush with that in the past (book that was battlestar galactica's plot but somehow even more american)#but im worried about doing it seriously :P

IT'S REALLY OVER ?????' SOBSOBSSS#i literally refused to listen to/watch the ending for a good while bc i would always get sad and tear up (i was a CHILD SOBS SOBS)#i don't think i ever cried over something ending since when i found out Hamtaro ended also (i was even younger cuz i was BABY)#the cure was watching a SHIT TON of AMVs and reading too many fanfics#anyone remember Vongola Crack ?#i tried to read the manga but it was so hard to find BUT IM SMARTER NOW AND I CAN#it's been 14-15 years since i got into it huh (standing emoji)#im gonna FROW UP#i remember tuning in WEEKLY on this old website to watch it when it was airing and GOD

id like to preface this with the fact that bc i haven't updated the app (and don't use desktop) tumblr not only won't let me participate in polls, but won't even let me SEE them. i can't even see what the question is. i can see images & notes & that's it. anyway only getting to know abt polls from comments & ppl posting abt it is actually SUPER funny. currently the funniest shit rn is the tumblrwoman polls. bc i didn't hear anything abt them until ppl started talking abt marceline vs vriska LOL and i know almost NOTHING abt homestuck. but an insane amnt of ppl where confidently and angrily declaring that vriska is THE tumblrwoman and marcy couldn't possibly compete. so i was like "oh ok. guess vriska will win then. im a huge marcy fan but idk shit abt vriska, and im seeing a ridiculous ratio of comments declaring how vriska WILL win vs occasional comments saying someone will vote for marcy. so good for vriska whoever she is. hope she's cool" and then apparently marcy WON?? so this recontextualizes things sm for me, who just imedietly had gone "oh ok, people seem really passionate abt vriska winning, guess she's gotta win". turns out this newfound information is pinpointing, to me, that vriska fans are just super annoying /lh
#ik ppl r saying 'vriska only lost bc ppl voted against her out of spite. so in the wnd she REALLY won'#which is funny but also. idk man i dont know shit abt vriska. if i got the opportunity id vote for marcy. not out of spite. bc i love marcy#ppl where saying like. 'oh vriska content is everywhere on tumblr marcy couldnt even compete'#which is funny bc like. u know this site is mostly self curated rigjt#i see TONS of marcy content#and honestly. i see homestuck stuff occasionally but not enough to have recognized vriska#like. i had heard her name before. but didnt even know what she looked like and honestly. dont rlly remember now either#shes not one of those characters frm smthn i dont read/watch/etc who i learned abt second hand bc ppl where so obsessed w them#im sure ive seen art of her here amd there but i dont remember her#and ironically. marceline is ABSOLUTELY a characyer who i learned abt second hand long before actially watching at#like i only started watching at like a yr ago#but i not only recognized marceline years prior#but knew basics abt her characyer and backstory#just frm ppl talking abt her! lol#i even did fan art of her long before ever watching the show bc i thoight her design was cool#bonus comment tho. betty grof of adventure time should get to be a tumblrwoman too#shes unhinged and evil and weird and autistic and deserves appreciation for this#text
