Honestly, I think it would've been more believable for JJ to confess her love to Garcia than it was for her to confess to Spencer.

#like those two are so much closer #especially in the early seasons #like...#and then they mention that JJ brought Garcia to the football game that was supposed to be a date.......#like come on #my thoughts 👻#criminal minds #criminal minds fandom #jennifer jareau #penelope garcia #spencer reid

#this meme has been going through my head for a bazillion years lol #i love to interact and then it hits me that im probably bothering you guys #plus the current popular stuff I am sadly so unfamiliar with #when i was younger i would gravitate to my own interests when i was unfamiliar with other topics and it got on peoples nerves a lot #and i completely understand that so i dont wanna repeat those mistakes #its just like a game of pingpong of me talking too much and me hiding under my desk bc i feel like im bothering everyone #also like the last time it was p much confirmed i was being annoying i cried for like two hours bc my fears were realized haha #and when a line is drawn for me i kinda like to stay at least 2ft away from wherever that line is just to be safe #you gotta like throw a cookie attached to a fishing line to get me closer to the line lol #because i will seriously be way too cautious otherwise #im trying to get more brave though im just kinda like my cat who heard a noise in the bathroom cabinet #and now he refuses to go near it #being mindful of others feelings and respecting their boundaries is super important to me #and sometimes that boxes me in a bit

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.

There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.

#like so much of their dynamic (esp but not exclusively in S3) has been about showing the ways that carmy's trauma and dysfunctional #attitude in the kitchen impacts other people and how even though he cares about syd and wants their partnership to work he keeps self #sabotaging and setting himself and by extension her and the restaurant up to fail and replicating the same toxic environments that #he grew up and trained in and this is very much consistent with his character and a natural continuation of the conflicts they've been #having since S1 but because him being shitty with her runs contrary to them getting together suddenly its 'ruining the story' and #out of character and only happening bc the writers just hate to see this ship winning and like. if you really think that i genuinely don't #know what show you've been watching bc it sure as shit wasn't this one. like it hurts to see him do this because you know #they could do something genuinely great together and that he's ruining a really good thing but this is also the reality of where he is rn #if he was just a good and supporting business partner and not deeply dysfunctional it would be wildly out of character #the problem w S3 wasn't that it 'ruined' their relationship it's that it had no clear focus overemphasized carmy's arc at the expense #of the other leads deprioritized the supporting cast while failing to give them their own arcs gave more screen time to #unecessary and uninteresting new 'comic relief' characters and let conflicts stagnate without resolving them or #letting them evolve over the course of the season.#this isn't exclusive to the bear this is a general trend ive noticed where as soon as the 'shipper' part of people's brains get activated #it's like they lose the ability to read the story any other way and it stops being about what's good for the narrative and starts being #about whether or not these two people kiss and anything that gets in the way of that is bad and anything that brings it closer is good #and it's usually whatever but it's really frustrating when the story ppl are doing that to is this good #it also makes people fundamentally incapable of treating any 'obstacle' to that romance in a way that isn't wildly meanspirited and #gross (esp bc those characters are usually women) which is exhausting. like no claire isn't evil or a 'pick me' or 'bad' for carmy #or a useless addition to the story or whatever other nonsense you guys have decided must be true to feel okay. she's a perfectly normal #character and their relationship is exploring some of the ways that carmy's inability to deal with or actually address his trauma #impacts the various relationships in his life. she doesn't even have to be a monster or a narrative mistake for him and syd to be #'destined' for each other or whatever. this isn't a middle school wattpad fic.#im definitely gonna get killed in the street for this but ive been looking for a good reason to spend less time on here so might as well #the bear #sydcarmy #sydney adamu #carmy berzatto

When Sanji sacrifices himself he's aware of what he's doing. He knows exactly what is at stake and how much he's given and why his act is bad to others or himself, why it must be done either way. From what I see, it's a reflection of his self-esteem and his desire to put others first, it's guilt and it's self-punishment and he knows, okay?

When Zoro sacrifices himself he's insane, batshit crazy. He doesn't want to die per se, he doesn't hate himself and doesn't do it out of punishment. His dreams are bigger than his life, they are more valuable, so he's never afraid to put his life at risk when it comes to fulfilling what he thinks his duty is. You could say it's his honor or his code of life— Zoro can survive the deadliest wounds, the worst circumstances, 'cause he doesn't seek death, it's just that he won't avoid it either.

I love that contrast and how clear it is during the encounter of Zoro and Mihawk in Baratie.

#they both live to carry other people's dreams that are also their own #Zeff's dream of finding the All Blue and Kuina's dream of becoming the best swordwoman ever #They both fight with the techniques snd experience that were passed down to them by Zeff and Kuina #The difference is that Zeff cutting his leg and giving all the food to Sanji made Sanji feel eternally guilty and unworthy #he thinks he has to sacrifice himself for others so much #Zeff hates seeing how he drags himself down when other hadn't even asked that of him #Meanwhile Kuina's death drove Zoro to go all out never fearing his death #He could die trivially in some accident like Kuina did but the difference is that Kuina died reaching for her sword #Call it whatever you want but Zoro learned from her to don't let desth stop you it can catch you whenever anyway #Fear of death can be the thing that stops you from reaching your dreams so you need to teach yourself how to live plenty #Zoro's opinion on sacrifice is closer to Luffy's #The insanity of those two #It really hurts to see Sanji around them because of that #He's position is closer to Nami's in that sense #She who sacrificed everything for her village and her people #shan blogs about one piece!#one piece anime #roronoa zoro #black leg sanji

A complete lack of catharsis (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Dexter Favin #*tries to make a pun with Car and Catharsis* Anyway #The Sad™ Flavour - here's what was missing #Inspired Directly by conversation like dialogue lifted straight not even a little diverging lol - it made a strong image in my head!#And those are my very favourites ♥ Gotta get 'em Out onto paper haha #ZEX came out to have a nice time and you are Ruining It Dex #Can't blame him for trying :( Anything to bring Max back to him!#I really love the imagery of Dex taking him out somewhere where it's just the two of them being very small together #Cooped up in the summer home by themselves - it's definitely something but it feels so heavy and claustrophobic #Like they're trapped - I mean ZEX literally is - and Dex isn't much better slowly deteriorating with his guilt and lack of rest #So taking a moment to go out together somewhere so huge and impressive - somewhere they can see the stars #Somewhere to feel small in the face of everything - and for ZEX to be closer to home for just a moment #Hhhh <3 #And for the moment to feel so singularly beautiful and impactful - and then to be intercut with their shared Nothingness #Would it hurt more for the evening to be beautiful and unbroken - to come so close to touching that impossibly huge Feeling #Or to be shattered in the midst and reaffirmed that neither is what the other is really looking for? I can't decide ♥#I think what gets me the absolute most is that it doesn't matter - nothing they can say to each other will really reach who they want to #Dexter wants Max and ZEX wants DAX and they're both so /close/ but it's just not /right/#I wonder if ZEX is even in his right mind enough to realize what he's asking of Dex is the same that could be asked of him #Dexter can't be DAX for him but he still calls him that :'(#Such an unfair situation #And no matter how much they cry it out and find any sliver of comfort in each other - they just have to keep on living this way #No catharsis - just continuance

the wind and sea do follow thee /

and all the ledges calling thee...

#em draws stuff #treasure island #squire trelawney #doctor livesey #selkie au #it's been long and long but I've had these two on the brain lately #and because my current fic is un-illustratable for several reasons I decided to pop back over to an old favorite #'peter kagan and the wind' has been my song for calming down lately and it's a very similar vibe to what I want out of the selkie au #it has actually been eight months since I've drawn trelawney and I've decided to change up his design after years and years #liking the new shapes (which I can actually draw well I think)#specifically right where his neck and shoulder meet - it's closer to how he's built in my head than I've ever captured before #and I've been liking the more defined pockmarks that I do on alan so I've decided to bring those over #I'd always intended for some similar stuff texture-wise on trelawney but I wasn't being very confident in it so it was difficult to see #but in the end this is just me splashing all manner of things that I like for these two into one drawing #good saturated purples and my best attempt at those mignola-esque gravestones and a try at capturing how tom harpernovakaine writes them...#this whole thing went through many moments of looking unsalvageable but in the end it is probably one of my best drawings of them #I have a very early livesey drawing stuck to the back of the ol' ipad so it's really cool to hold that up and compare how far I've come #it's been an interesting three years and I think I'm a much more confident artist now!

HI GUYS I DIDN’T TAKE ANY PICTURES OR VIDEOS WHILE I WAS AT THE JUMPS TODAY BUT I DID LEARN HOW TO DO SUPERMANS SO I AM VERY EXCITED

#unimportant thoughts #I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD JUST ONE DAY GO HMMM LET ME TRY AND SUPERMAN AND THEN JUST DO IT #CRAZY #CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY #I DID A RUN TODAY WHERE I DID A TUCK NO HANDER ON THE FIRST JUMP AND A SUPERMAN ON THE LAST JUMP #AND THOSE ARE TWO TRICKS I COULD NOT DO TWO MONTHS AGO #IM SO HAPPY DUDE #anyways #realisitic for a second #i was BARELY doing what you could call a superman #looked much more like an attempted superman #but to me it counts #my arms were fully extended and I was behind the bike #i tried to properly extend and get closer to parallel to the ground on one run #and like I rode away and all but i did learn the jump is TOO SMALL for that shit cause i ended up hitting the rear wheel on the ground #while i was in midair (the rear tire dips when you do a no footed trick)#which is GOOD TO KNOW #but dude im so fucking excited #my trick list is growing every time i go out there #im riding more this year than i have in the past 4-6 years #im having fun #im crossing tricks off my bucket list that i was never sure id be able to do #AHHH this is so good for me #i cannot WAIT to ride some properly sized big jumps and try out some of my new tricks

so so so interesting to me how ppl gauge alternate worlds and its reflections on a character on that scale of morally good versus evil...

#saw a post that was like 'tim and dick are more likely to be evil than jason is' and their list of evidence was all the alternate worlds #where those two dont end up as they are #and although im not super familiar with tim's alternate selves (all ik is it doesnt turn out good for him lol) i dont love their analysis o #dick's alternate selves as evidence of him being that much closer to being 'evil' than jason is #1) i dont like that term of evil for any of the vigilante's #and 2) almost every single version of dick they mentioned was not dick actively choosing to be this darker version of himself #they were ones where he was forced/actively raised/manipulated into doing things not so good #i dont care to actively seek out the post again but they listed dick having been turned into a talon as solid evidence #of his leaning toward evilness compared with a version of jason being a priest in another world #idk it just seemed so strange to me that forced actions from an alternate world weigh on that scale of capableness of morality in a charact #esp when a current canon character like jason actively chooses to do bad stuff that can be considered downright evil #<- this isnt me condemning him as a character btw thats part of what i love about jason is that he intentionally chooses #to present himself in this violent and dramatic way as a show of his split from batman #i digress but still its just intriguing how ppl weigh that kind of stuff together

Inigo loves Archie so much it kills him inside :’)

#just pav things #I noticed something about their dynamic. or maybe it’s closer to remembered.#See electric guitar on it’s own is not complete without it’s heartbeat. The drums.#My firm belief is that I would not enjoy nearly as many tunes if it weren’t for their dictated pace as well #My best example (and sorry for the predictability) is pq’s F.O.E.. Pay attention to the melody line.#These two instruments are so complementary to each other!#And I think that’s why I made Inigo a drummer way back when #You know Inigo consciously decided on that—#He just wants to be there for Archie he wants to be there WITH Archie #who used to be a guitarist if you recall~#And this is still reflected in more recent incarnations!#He trained himself to be ambidextrous because he thought it would be a cool thing to show off to Archie #He’s so incredibly academically inclined because learning how to speak and do mathematics was how Inigo bonded with him #Being able to show off what he learned and getting the encouragement and congratulations #He admired Archie as an older figure in his life before everything else y’know #He was a literal toddler how was Archie NOT supposed to imprint on him.#After all he paid attention to him #Held him close on cold nights to help him fall asleep. Sharing the warmth of body and breath #And I think this is so crucial to understanding Inigo and events like his hysteria moment #He runs off of so much fear which is driven by his LOVE for those around him #He loves Archus so he’s scared about what effect he had on him after the incident #He loves Cynthia so he maintains his distance so he doesn’t lose her too #And the resulting isolation destroys him. His true heart is left in dormant sleepiness being kept hidden for so long in sheer anxiety :(#Now if only if there was another Dandelion…. ;)

I think it’s illegal to have reached peak kaveh insanity the past couple of days (months) and not have had a dream about him in so long NAURRRRRR 😢

#so unfair 😔#MAYBE CAUSE I ALR HAD SUCH GOOD QUALITY DREAMS ABOUT HIM LIKE #we got married apparently LMFAO #BUT THAT WAS SO LONG AGO I WANT TO SEE DOMESTIC LIFE #and also I had a college au dream where #pffffft it was so miraculous core AND SO FUNNY but basically #I think alhaitham and I were like much closer friends and kaveh is just there so I was one day tagging along and then I was so down #down atrocious that I was fumbling hard but luckily (or should I say unluckily?) kaveh never noticed and thought I was normal #it must be the blonde talking truthfully #cause alhaitham noticed and he was like silently laughing at me loosing my mind IT WAS SO MEAN 😭#dora daily #anyways ughhh #I’m so sure I had more dreams and I must’ve noted them down somewhere but I cannot remember at all 😭#I’m so sad #but those two parts were so silly #all this and I don’t have him #this is actually a crime #I hope he doesn’t come on alhaithams banner cause pls I can’t I need to save more 😭😭😭

i cant post the full of these until tommorow but bweeeeeee isnt he so cuteness

#did this comic relatively fast for me and i like about 50% of it #which. its getting posted tommorow morning so yknow itll have to do #experiencing one of those 'idk how to draw this without it looking bad' 'guess itll just have to look bad :sunglasses:' moments #BUT i think these expressions are cute and theyre more in line with what i want to be doing in general anyways? pushing it in a #direction i feel like ive struggled with before. i like cartoon overbites though i think theyre so adorable. maybe this is just what growin #up on the simpsons does to a motherfucker. anyways #my boyfie. baby style #trying to decide in my head how old i actually want him to be in some of theseeeee #because iirc. again im not going to check. the new official timeline puts him at being 20 #but the way I had the timeline before in my MIND. he wouldve been a little older. not so much but like. 26-28 yk.#and fish wouldve been closer to 20-22 #which idk i think its a little bit different of a dynamic to have 28-20 instead of two 20 year olds. so it would change things #but also i just idk i dont think him being that young works with how they talk about him pre-wasteland in. any of the official stuff #its just because he has terminal old man disease i think but like. idk i feel like even 28 is too young but thats like as far as i feel goo #squishing the junkertown timeline down to #and even then i think. that it breaks ? something else?#ive never done the maths but i think it breaks junkrat. because hes supposed to have been born in like. a more or less fully formed #junkertown? and with jq in charge for like. half of his life.#this part of the timeline doesnt work anyways #it barely works with the official read #theres not really a good way to have my cake (older boyfriend) and it eat too (everything else makes sense in my mind)#🐟

POV: you managed to load in the secret boss that got left in the code but went unused in the final game

This is just an effectless image I saved while in the process of posing Xiara to put her on the carrd more properly, now that I've remade her reference model. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I figured I'd post it ^-^

#a call from the void #self‑insert: ambivalent shade (xiara)#I kind of sort of really want to change that tag but I like the idea of her tag being her title within the organisation #xiara is ''ambivalent shade'' like how larxene is ''savage nymph'' for example #behold the one and only iteration of linaria that can successfully be any semblance of intimidating #I'd like to make a render of xiara interacting with roxas and/or xion now that I have a model for her #since she ends up becoming closer to them (particularly xion) during their time in the organisation #she holds less loyalty to the operation than anyone would suspect but it's only those two who are really in on that #(if you were curious: what i'd change her tag to be if I changed it is ''a virus called free will'')#(so you can make of that what you wish)#(there's a reason she and xion get on so well and it's that neither of them are proper/normal nobodies)#but anyway i'm rambling and it's ten to two in the morning so I should probably sleep #sorry that so much has been so focused on self-inserts rather than F/Os lately I will try and change that #you can reblog this if you'd like to I don't mind

still thinking about that line. women as barometers of society’s politeness.

#its so maxanneeleanormiranda black sails #but also like. the difference in the way esme and elizabeth regard their departure from civility.#and the way those codes of behavior stay or don't stay with them.#esmeralda is very violent against the colonial oppressor in action but she still mimics the civilized codes of behavior and fashion #even the way she engages in love is much more courtly than elizabeth ever wants it to be.#(esmeralda is also a good deal older than elizabeth to be fair which i don't often acknowledge. she was much closer to cotbp elizabeth when #she was freshly escaped from the convent and beating up jack. that's a very similar moment in their journey and disposition)#which ... almost makes it interesting that dmtnt elizabeth has reconciled with these civil codes of femininity in the same way #esmeralda does?#✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc )
