Thankful to be Peaceful

Andrae Crouch was one of my all-time favorite Gospel singers and composers. These words are from his song, “Through it All”:“I’ve had many tears and sorrows / I’ve had questions for tomorrow / There’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong / But in every situation / God gave me blessed consolation / that my trials come to only make me strong. Through it all / through it all / I’ve learned to…

Ive worked on this for almost 22 hours and connor and hank are practically imprinted in my eyelids

i was kinda going for more subtle expressions with this one, trying to give hank a disappointed look to show his understanding and attitude of the sad world vs connor being slightly confused as he begins to navigate it with a new sense of morality and mortality

(close up of connor before rim lighting since his face took for ever and im kinda proud of the rendering ->)

thinking about how gojo and geto would relate "feels like we had matching wounds but mine's still black and bruised and yours is perfectly fine now" lyric to each other.

geto when he's falling deeper and deeper into depression while watching gojo become stronger and seem all unaffected by everything that happened to them. gojo when he sees geto's nonchalance after killing 112 people along with his parents or when after a decade geto seems unaffected by him and announces war on them.

they really were open wounds for each other that never healed.

rant time

This is so disappointing, and the worst part is I have no one to blame but myself. I've always sorta seen the writing on the wall. Hori has always had a really weird track record with his writing; dropping plot points, being purposefully cagy and noncommittal to certain themes etc. However I do think there is a difference between something being an objectively poorly written story and just a story that, while well done, might no be something I personally enjoy (or even a overall fine story with a few flaws). For awhile I thought, like many people that mha was going to be a scathing critique on hero society and Deku & Co. would have to reccon with their places in it: how the hero-villain dichotomy does not help anyone, scapegoats those deemed undesirable, allows heroes to get aways with murder, and perpetuates the complicity of the masses leading them bring about some sort of systemic change with the help of the antagonists . When I realized it wouldn't be that I thought "OK" then it is a story about saving the have-nots and proving why they are going about things the wrong way and offering another solutions while working within society–a bit sanctimonious but sure–they become the greatest heroes because of their compassion and willingness to save. And then when the villains bring up their issues with society their continuously told to shut up or that their wrong with no further elaboration, better yet that they just dealt with what happened to them the wrong way as if was somehow their fault for reacting badly to being treated badly and given no real recourse. And then the All For One reveal happened. And god. the last minute reveal (right before he's 'killed') that all of Shigaraki's family issues and quirk were the direct result of AFO? It's a really nice way to further invalidate all the criticisms he's ever made now that nearly everything bad that's ever happened in his life was because of some really bad guy, doubling down on making everything an individual problem rather then a social one–because that way you don't have to challenge your characters core ideologies right? or think of actual solutions? And that's where I feel like MHA crosses into being an objectively poorly written story overall; to establish all these issues and themes and back out on them at the last minute for a simple solution.

I have to ask: What the fuck is going to change? Stories set in a fantastical world usually have something to actually fucking comment on in that world. We are shown explicit issues in the world of mha What has been deconstructed about the world of MHA? After all of this, what have any of these so called greatest heroes done to make an actual, tangible difference in the world they live in? The end of MHA is shaping up to be just a continuation of the same cycle it the begins with, all of it's issues going unaddressed or swept under the rug. People want to say that MHA doesn't need to address those things, that it's just a story about hope and redemption, where is the hope and redemption in killing off the people shown to be the most victimized by society? If it is a story about true heroism being intrinsically linked to saving then what does it say that some people just can't be saved, that are 'too far gone' that have to be fucking mercy killed.

In conclusion, the LOV deserved to be in a story which actually lived up to what it promised.

Uh oh

Get fucked Curly. I told you Ecthuctu wouldn't approve of your converting Buckeye.

"Make sure he gets proper treatment" Um, no sir, he relinquished the right to proper care the moment he tried to kill a child. That shit's getting amputated.

Oh noooo I'm so sad. It's so tragic that the T'au aren't good with blades; who could have foreseen this outcome??

Also, out of curiosity...

I wanna know ur Fontaine msq criticisms 👁️👁️👂I’m all ears

I'm not sure if you wanted me to talk about this secretly or publicly but! Here I go!

The TLDR: Fontaine MSQ aestheticised prison, poverty, child abuse, the justice system/court and didn't properly address any of it.

More:

Focalors/Furina has way too much of a sympathetic angle for a dictator who's lets people drown with her inaction.

Neuvillette feels Bad for sentencing some people to death/prison, but that's it. He's one of the most powerful people in Fontaine. If he felt like there are systemic injustices, I.E sending an abused Child to prison, he should be the first person to DO something about it, not just cry and be sad so the audience can be like aw, that's complex character writing isn't it? No it's not! And guilt doesn't absolve you!!!!!!! (These are stuff we deal with in OTCOJ read my fic now /j)

Meropide has children in it, both Sentenced there (Wriothesley) and BORN THERE (Lanoire), and this is just a quirk of the place. Not only that, Meropide accepts prisoners of all genders and crimes. There are abusers and abuse victims in one place. Do you know how bad that is? How much potential for crimes to happen in a place like that— oh wait, Meropide isn't under Fontaine's jurisdiction. If you are assaulted as an inmate it literally means nothing to the court.

Wriothesley had no qualifications when he took over. Depending on how long he lived on the streets, how old he was when he killed his parents, how old he was when he was first taken in by the orphanage, etc, the man might never have more than 4–5 years of formal education. Sigewinne probably had to teach him how to write reports. And do Meropide's spreadsheets. Edit because I forgot to elaborate on this one: This isn't a point brought up anywhere, which is bad, because when poverty and incarceration robs you of a proper education (and the rights to vote in many places too, too, by the way), it reduces your prospects for jobs, reduces many people's ability to get a home etc etc. Wriothesley was just, narratively, Given his position.

Meropide is an industrialized prison, and they portray this as a good thing. Prisoners are paid in coupons for their labour, and this is also portrayed as a good thing.

The One-Meal-A-Day reform was something Paimon gushed about being so great of a perk, that people might want to go to jail for food (could be interesting and reflective of systemic poverty if MHY had brains, but they don't, so I was just Pissed because essentially all Paimon wanted to say was "Prison isn't so bad, but still don't go to prison guys! Prison labour is really hard!"). By the way, in most real-world prisons they are obligated to feed you three meals a day. Because that's how much food a human needs. MHY went with one meal just so they can say "if you want to eat more, you have to work." And then the welfare meal is a goddamn gacha. So imagine you're a starving child who's too weak to work in the fucking robot assembly line, and you wander up for your first meal in 24 hours, only to luck in with a shit one. I'd kill myself.

They wrote Wriothesley, who's a victim of the system, into a guy who's say shit like "I'm the Duke I can do whatever I want" for a cool moment where he choke-slams an inmate (I know he was a bad guy. But also, in copaganda when cops are violent/disregarding protocols, they are always only portrayed to do that against bad guys, so what does our critical thinking tells us about this one?) They wrote Wriothesley, who was an inmate of a prison so bad, so notorious that it is the literal boogeyman of Fontaine, that has a legal (???) fighting pit, with an administrator who abuses his position to be unreasonable, to willingly stay in the place and become an Administrator who would choke-slam an inmate while saying a cool line about how he has the power to do whatever he wants. They wrote him, the guy who had to be fed on the streets by melusines, to think one-meal-a-day was a good enough reform (while he spends god-knows how much on his boat). This wasn't a victim-turns-into-abuser narrative either, they want all this to be seen as positive character growth.

And then, the final kicker is, they gloss over his entire abuse. You can only read about these shit in his profile, which most people don't because they don't Have Him or doesn't care to unlock it/read it online, and they jammed his entire backstory into a flaccid info-dump at the end of his character story quest. This man isn't Allowed to feel abused and neglected and show any reaction to it within the narrative of Fontaine itself, because if they actually Gave Weight to what happened to him, they'd have to confront THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM they had NO PLANS on criticising. I don't think they ever explicitly said the fucking Crime-Theatre nonsense was Bad either.

I could go on, but this is already so long. But yeah, I hope this gave you an idea.

writing this apology months before it happens but i am so sorry for the person i am going to become eventually. i am getting into warhammer 40k

[blamemma]

the only thing exhausting about this whole thing is the dirlies spiraling into negativity every few days about nothing

since the spa fiasco we virtually had no new informations (beside daniel mood which is a big indicator to me) but every now and then like a contagious disease it's all doom and gloom for nothing??? i dont get it

and i also believe there were some kind of embargo (and still is cause again we have no new information, only speculation)

anyway i hope everything gets announced soon for everyone sanity and i really believe we're gonna get the news we want❣️

my personal approach is not to over analyse and read everything. and by that i mean i personally don't see the need to read every single second rate article that has daniel's name spliced in it. that's just not for me. and that's purely because i'm of the opinion those articles cause more harm than good and they often times have no direct quotes, or real information, and are instead just doing what we do over here, pulling what they know together to try and come up with a concrete hypothesis. some places do have insider information and some articles are worthwhile. but i just think it does not benefit me, or fandom sometimes, to take these things so seriously and deeply because as you perfectly put it, it becomes a contagious disease!!

and yes, i completely agree with you, since spa, nothing absolute and concrete has been released. red bull, daniel's team, liam's team, have all been incredibly quiet. daniel alluded to some things at zandvoort, but apart from that, there's nothing we can truly, properly infer. i agree, daniel's body language is telling, and he was calm, laughing, wearing a red bull cap this weekend. that's more important and interesting to me in my personal analysis than what f1knowledgehaverjournalism.com has to say to get a few clicks.

i think we've got one more week of this and then we'll know more. we've just got to survive one more week anon....we can do this 🫵🏼🫶🏼
