swear to never mention that company on this blog again but the more time passes, the more the very fact that lilo&stitch 2002 was able to get made in the disney studio system at all. seems insane to me. only further strengthened by recent developments

#lilo and stitch is an outlier because it doesnt take place in an ideal world of good and evil. and thats the fundamental aspect #that they decided to chabge for the remake. because theyre the biggest hacks in the world.#“its good that nani gets to realize her own dreams and go to California (?) to study marine biology because it teaches children a message #about how its good to sometimes prioritize yourself“ lol okay flop the hyperindividialist us has struck another victim nani having to raise #lilo is so far from an ideal or even good situation but it is the situation they are in and letting that stand is. telling a story about #something specific and true #people live through less than ideal circumstances all the time

i'll be honest thinking about las vegas makes me nauseous.

#emyrs.txt #like about the environment.#also it just freaks me out a little.#like that one tma ep about being in the suburbs forever.#being there makes me feel trapped. idk it's silly but i always feel like i'm in a glass jar or something.#if i need to leave I Wouldnt Be Able To. you know. at least not quickly #which is true about other cities as well but las vegas specifically. theres nothing around for miles. it freaks me out #also it stresses me out to think about the waste the city generates. worry not i stress out about LA doing thag as well but we're not in #the middle of the desert.#i think its just bc being in a landlocked state freaks me out. many such cases.

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

#spilled ink #writeblr #i'm trying to write about this really specific and wierd new experience #that i think is specific to the internet generation #where people you trust can just... say whatever??? and while most people are trustworthy #sometimes they'll just like... put ur shit out there????#and the thing is that sometimes it's GOOD - i want you to tell ppl if ur partner is being cruel!!!!!#i want u to be like ''hey is it normal if xyz happens'' ... but stuff like ''she's afraid of the dark''#PARTICULARLY when it's CLEARLY making fun of me....#what is the point of that.#this is huge and complicated and happens outside of romantic relationships too btw #like someone u thought of as a friend will be like . oh did u know she's scared of heights and it's like.#girl why are u fuckin doing that tho?#it's not a SECRET i just ...???????????????????????#and i think that gross feeling of like -- ''i can't REALLY be upset bc there's not a TRUE RULE about this....''#it's just not something talked about. bc it's so specific and yet so complex #bc how could i say like '' this is a violation of trust'' when it... technically I GUESS isn't????????????#idk maybe im just like super sensitive but please tell me in the comments/tags/etc if this is #something u have experienced (a trusted person like spreading ur shit) and if u were cool with it

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #The childhood flashback is one of my favourite scenes in MDZS and yes I am disapointing myself in how little I am covering it.#If it is any consolation...I'll be bringing JYL's piggyback scene into another comic later on.#There truly is something so specific and yet resonant in the way our bonds as children feel so deep.#But the world doesn't stay as small as it does when you are a kid. The problems you argue about get bigger and more serious.#You still hold so much love for this person despite how much you want to throw hands with them.#To have such a complicated history with someone and then fall apart...You always think you have time to heal the wound.#Why wouldn't you! You've never had anything but time with this person. A brother not in blood but in true and genuine bond.#And then the fucker dies! It's horrible and sudden and the last words you exchanged were cold and awful!#What do you do with those dead end feelings? What do you do but grieve bitterly and angrily?#There is no resolution for all the love you wanted back. There will never be an opportunity to bridge the gap between you.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. Because you thought you had more time.#If anyone dares say Jiang Cheng didn't love WWX I'll be the first to fire up the powerpoint presentation on why he absolutely does.

i hate the idea of sansa ending up as this cold ice queen when through out the books one of her defining characteristics has been kindness. kindness to dontos when joffrey wanted him executed, kindness to the woman with the baby during the riot, kindness to an injured lancel despite cersei's words, kindness through warning margaery of the type of person joffrey is, kindness to sandor clegane and sweetrobin in the vale. sansa even says that once she was queen, she'd wish to rule with kindness when cersei encourages her to rule with fear during the battle of the blackwater. i cant imagine a world where grrm would genuinely go with the idea that only once you refuse love and warmth can you rule

#sansa stark is every bit ned's daughter. in this essay i will-#asoiaf #sansa stark #kindness =/= weakness #cersei thinks it is but if cersei thinks something then its good evidence that it straight up isnt true #a song of ice and fire #game of thrones #by god i hate that show sometimes #specifically i hate that it constantly seems to punish the feminine characters for the sake of punishing them #sandor clegane #joffrey baratheon #margaery tyrell #cersei lannister #anyways she (late show sansa) will never be her (book sansa)#chaos reads

i CANNOT stress enough how incompatible the themes of these two pieces of media are. i promise my media literacy ability is actually good im well aware that these character mappings are absolutely nothing. that said. play with me in this space. in this sopping wet miserable space. its bad luck to kill a piou piou

original screenshots (and hypnosis 1904) for reference

#'oh but both of them are about isolation' NOT THE SAME KIND OF ISOLATION THEY AINT #in stars and time #isat #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #lucabyteart #sifloop #I SUPPOSE. THEYRE DANCING THEYRE HUGGING ITS FINE. IT COULD MEAN NOTHING. THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019) HAS THEMES. OF AN ILK. I WOULD SAY.#anyway yes these r redraws of scenes from robert eggers' The Lighthouse. a film i would consider diametrically thematically opposed to isat #something something ✨ You're fond of my crab arent you stardust?#yeah thats the best i got here. im just having fun with pictures. this does straight up mean nothing. like at all. theres like 3 things #that you could draw as parallels and theyre Very strained. its like 1. preoccupation w the ocean (but in very different ways)#2. both are abt isolation (but in very different ways)#3. wanting to fuck a bright source of light. sorry i mean the third one is only a parallel if you have a specific reading of Tom #that is spoilers and may or may not be true. also theyre both in black and white. this means nothing #(now. if anything. if you wanted to map isat onto an eggers' movie id say its nosferatu. like. it at least has someone calling out to the #forces unknown for a companion & being accepted and loved despite literally embracing the physical embodiment of your shame....#that said if youve watched nosferatu you also know this mapping is utterly nuts. im sending isabeau into the catacombs to go burn the rats #everyones vampire aus are cute but whos out here coding loop as count orlok hm? . and odile as willem dafoe i guess?#this falls apart quickly and is not a serious suggestion i just want to point out the bar for 'being more relevant to isat than #the lighthouse' is is like. a VERY low bar.)#anyway made sif more visibly afrocarribean since if im drawing them realistically im not making them particularly white passing.#ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN IM DRAWING OVER ROBERT PATTERSON OF ALL PEOPLE....

Do you think this is the Finale of book 7? qwq

at this point I'm not going to believe it's actually over until we get the Diasomnia dorm reruns! those will be the portent I cling to in these times of uncertain anime character drama. 😰

honestly I'd been pretty convinced that 13 would be the end -- or that there might be, like, an epilogue chapter or something, but this would at least be the end of the main plot of 7. but now it looks like the Armor of Dawn Silver card is actually going to be for the second half next week, so...now I'm right back in "WHAT IS HAPPENING" camp! like, I can see a couple of possibilities of how that might still work out, but...well. I guess we'll find out tonight. :')

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 13 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 13 spoilers #like. i could see something like. say. we get malleus' wrapup in this first half but then something happens with silver #and he has to help us save him #that's 100% just spitballin' though #honestly i think it's more likely the second half is just gonna need a lot of setup or something!#but again. we will find out. tonight.#i can't believe it's so soon auuuuugh #the timing of this just feels so specific to the anniversary that i'm even like #was this just a fun timing thing they wanted to do or was there some reason they needed to hit a certain point or something #like. idk. ortho's college gear #silver gets DOUBLE silver hair or something #my early-on theory that his name was legally silver silver turns out to be true #this is just more spitballin' don't take me too seriously #we will be able to look back on this tomorrow and laugh about how wrong i was #i'm just going into full hype mode here #'man i gotta stop playing the updates immediately when they come out at 2 am' WRONG past self you FOOL #who needs sleep when there are video game characters having emotional problems

dreaming abt sophomore year class swap bard!riz

#fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year #fhsy #riz gukgak #ft. kalina #fh class quangle #tbh Im not suuuper happy with the bones of these designs yet #but also its just a bit hard to measure up to how strong ''kid who wears suit to school'' is #I kiinda gear the sophomore year design specifically towards like. cameraman-esque aesthetics #kind of dude who's working the light rig And the audio at the same time. dude who's running inbetween two huge tripods #theres also a thing with the freshman year arcade scene that I wanted to draw but just do not have the energy today #maybe in the future! if I can be bothered to draw biz lmao #I wanna draw something for cleric!gorgug first anyway... specifically his death in freshman year #man I'm so glad I tossed bard!riz into investigative journalism that is SO annoying. exactly what I set out to do with my classswaps #can you imagine going to school with that guy. can you imagine going to school with tintin #this also makes kipperlilly vs riz even funnier like influencer vs journalist? it'd be the Worst #man thinking of it I should rework gorgug's design too. currently his sophomore design is really zac core lmao #and zac can pull it off but character design wise its. really nothing. laughs #his junior year design is full aerith at least so that one Im very happy with. what if I tell u cassandra is the deity of #the inbetween spaces in this class swap thingy. and gorgug offers her domain as a stop for folks fresh out of a faith to gather themselves #that being transgender as fuck is kinda coincidental lmao. but well I stand by it I like that #nobody's design has jumped out to me like riz and gorgug yet. adaine I have a prreeetty good idea for #mostly bc shes the hoodie kid this time round lmao. gamer adaine true believers rise up #we take it easy! we take it easy as we go. these comics-lite were real fun to do. I should do that more

Me, watching some YJS fans justify what Shauna did to Mari by using clips of Mari and Jackie giggling in s1 (normal teenage girl things), or Mari speaking the truth and trying to take Jackie's jacket (even though it was the middle of winter and the group were already sharing clothes), with said fans saying that they've would've done worse to Mari in response, acting like that makes them any better:

#yellowjackets spoilers #yellowjackets #like this fandom continues to disappoint me #“she's traumatized” not an excuse especially since she specifically was targeting mari for the thrill and dehumanized her body after #something in which she hadn't done to the other kills mind you and then wore mari's hair as a trope #*trophy #that is beyond being traumatized and just shauna being horrific. it's okay to admit that #what isn't okay however is to dismiss valid criticism (largely from poc fans) about how dehumanizing it was that she did to mari #by saying “women can't commit wrongs” or “let women be wrong” when you know damn well that isn't the case #(or are you mad that you can't live out your violent fantasy thru shauna without being called out? hmm)#and all the reasons those fans use to justify it are just mari being 1.) a teenage girl 2.) being truthfully honest and 3.) worse sins have #been committed by the other characters like SHAUNA #when you bring up how shauna slept jeff and got pregnant by her best friend's boyfriend it's just “oh teenage girl things”#but when mari is also doing “teenage girl things” one which includes being shady and a bit mean suddenly that excuse no longer applies #largely bc fandom often times doesn't sympathize much with poc characters as they do their yte counterparts #especially if they're young #shauna shipman #mari ibarra #anti shauna shipman #if i ever said that shauna was one of my faves i take it back SO HARD #shauna's ass crying back in the adult tl like she's innocent....i need her to die #but watch the show give her a graceful send out bc it's the shauna show (even tho it's an ensemble cast)#it's kind of annoying to see these fans use lottie as a comparison saying that people care about mental illness as long as the person #doesn't react violently like shauna and while to a degree i can understand bc that is true #in this case it kind of falls flat when you take into consideration how in the show and fandom lottie and her mental state haven't been #treated with the same response or care that shauna has (lottie is beaten brutally while experiencing an episode by shauna)#and it's done dirty throughout the show until her death with only really simone speaking up angrily against how she's portrayed #(same people who are justifying shauna lashing out in anger regarding her trauma were the same ones who were hating on travis in s1 & s2)

its insane how you literally can't talk about the oppression caucasians face (what was the last time you read about the genocide or imperialist aggression caucasian people went through? actually?) without an american/westerner piping up with "umm... lol... you think White people are oppressed? lol"

Isn't it crazy how people use caucasian to make fun of white people while literally Completely erasing the struggles of a racialized group? Isn't it crazy how no one cares and people keep doing it without batting an eye? And isn't it crazy when you try to look up something about caucasians you get stupid ass articles about "are white people opressed or not? are white people entitled? are white people this or that?"

#and before someone says something stupid again\#Yes. Among caucasian ethnic groups there are what you would consider “white people”#but if you do not actually know shit about caucasians and the diversity of ethnic group in the caucasus you do not get to generalize #because it is markedly not true #if you don';t know shit #about the armenian genocide #circassian genocide #the chechen wars #the racialization SPECIFICALLY AGAINST people of caucasian identity (in countries like russia)#the imperialist conquest of caucasian people #among many many other things #you do not get to speak #and i am by no means proclaiming myself to be an expert on this topic #but i live the reality where my caucasian friend is routinely denied the ability to rent an apartment #and i come online and americans talk about stupid shit like #umm... how are caucasians oppressed... you think white people are oppressed??? are you stupid/? lol

Sublime Equine.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #little apple #Did I *need* to dedicate a whole comic to little apple when I'm trying to economize my scenes?#Well! I did start this whole blog with the dreams of one day being able to draw better equines. So Yes. I did need this.#The true benchmark of my art progress is actually the quality of how I draw Little Apple.#(no seriously go look back at my little apple tag. Then come back here).#Hey welcome back! I know right! What was I even doing at the start? That was *not* a donkey!!!#That aside - I really am thrilled that I can draw her more. Even if she's only *really* in two more comics for season 2.#I wish I had more thoughts here. I'm so distracted by the donkey rotating in my brain. I missed her so monch.#Oh! Yeah I really like the parallels here between WWX and Little apple.#Specifically the sense of how we get a nod to how he's changed.#Little apple and WWX have both grown a little less lean and hungry (one literally the other metaphorically)#This whole episode is basically about WWX's desire for something peaceful and domestic in his life.#and here is little apple - his first companion from the start of his new life - changed to something softer.#Very much a 'look how far we have come moment' that is rather subtle but enjoyable.

i actually can't believe there are people on this website that can read an article where dt talks abt how his family says "i love you" to each other all the time and how that's a strange and wonderful new thing to him but like they ignore this super sweet and touching thing he's saying abt his loved ones and instead they completely laser the fuck in on him going "losing awards sucks" n then they pull out like year old screenshot from her instagram stories where georgia is like "my favorite awards loser omg <3" as evidence that she's an evil manipulative bitch who's abusing him and like it would be really funny if there wasn't a whole clique of people doing it

#trying soooooo hard not to lose my mind. like i dont want to think abt these ppl at all but it does genuinely fuck with me #reading him saying that abt his family really genuinely touched me emotionally for personal reasons i won't elaborate on #so this does make me kind of pissed off for real. heart emoji.#why the fuck can dt joke about killing michael sheen because he's so old and you all keep shipping them together screaming it's true love #but the person he is MARRIED TO cannot even playfully poke fun at him on her social media that he does not see #without it being this ultimate proof she's an evil demon #ohhhhh you know that post thats like i hate it when someone i hate likes the same media as me or something #me with dt and specifically his macbeth. vs the fucking insane misogynists on this website that claim to also be fans of him #david tennant #i do realize i keep using this sideblog to post things i dont want on my main and this includes like #my periodical crashouts about the tinhatters. i am very sorry. i will find a better way to use this blog

Hello! Could I ask how many chapters does the jp server currently have? I believe you're at the 12th part but I'm not sure. Part 7 came out in the eng server and the measly 16 chapters with no chapters within chapters destroyed me, so I'm trying to estimate how many we'll get when parts come out

yep, we're in the middle of 7-12 right now! they started splitting them up further starting with 11, so we got chapter 11 part 1, then chapter 11 part 2, and we're due chapter 12 part 2 (and maybe 3?) later this month. we've been getting them more regularly though, so it seems like they're switching to smaller but more frequent story drops!

I think Eng is following the same chapter breakdown as JP for these ones, and they've mostly been a decent length each IMO -- 9 was on the short side (two-person dorms go by so fast...) but we're getting nice little wrap-ups to the characters' arcs so I personally haven't felt, like, shortchanged or anything so far! it is SUPER hard being patient though (I'm lucky enough to be able to play it immediately and I'm still dying over here), so. ...I'm hoping the smaller drops help with that. :')

if you want the actual chapter numbers so far:

chapter 8 - 117-139

chapter 9 - 140-157

chapter 10 - 158-191

chapter 11 - 192-211 (part 1) / 212-226 (part 2)

chapter 12 - 227-244 (part 1)

(pretty sure these are correct, but if someone notices that they're off, please let me know!)

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #unsure if this needs any more specific spoilers so uhhh lmk i guess #but to talk a bit about the future of 7 #my personal little based-on-no-evidence theory is that they might be trying to time 7-13 for around the fifth anniversary #since it is (presumably) the wrap-around back to diasomnia and potentially the end of episode 7 in general #it would just be a real nice coincidence of timing is all i'm saying #(pysch! episode 7 is endless and eternal and we'll never be free of it)#BUT ANYWAY i'm a bit puzzled about 12's release #based on the schedule it sounds like we might be getting both 12-2 and 12-3 at the same time...?#so like...did some scheduling stuff happen there or something #it's not a complaint i'm just always kinda curious when i see stuff like this #lemme see those gantt charts twst #(<- tags i did not think i would use more than once)#as someone who has been on the production side my first assumption is always that there were Delays™#which to be fair is just inherently true 99% of the time. something is always Delayed™ and you just gotta try and keep it from snowballing #the client notes are coming in tuesday. the client notes are coming in wednesday. the client notes are coming in next week.#the client notes have always been delayed mr torrance
