thank you to everyone who donated, and I’ll complete the requests that are currently pending but will not be taking any more.

hi! to help encourage donations, i’m offering drawings to anyone who donates or sends an e-sim to gaza. here is a tutorial on how on the gaza e-sims website and here is another one on tumblr. check the notes of this post for discount codes if you’re into that. i will be doing this until the 28th of february!

alternatively, you can donate to any one of these instead:

there’s no lower limit to donations that i’ll draw for! a dollar or two is still money, and every little bit helps. that said, I won’t be spending over 5 hours on any one drawing so that i don’t burn out. im going to try and do as many of these as i can, but if i am uncomfortable with your request i will refuse it (but that almost certainly won’t happen tho)

i would pay insane money to hear about your thoughts on ctommy girlism because it’s actually such an important part of his character analysis to me

I’ve been wanting to make a patreon for stuff like this + art I don’t wanna post, so I’ve decided to go this route with the essay I will likely end up with based on this thesis. But I’ll use this post to summarize some thoughts im VERY confident about (and could be a sneak peek into what else the paper will entail)

C!tommy is fem-coded based off of fandom interpretation and reception, textual evidence, and meta analysis (will get more into meta in the big doc).

To start, a lot of this coding has to do with how he is victimized and why, which mainly concerns him craving approval from these older men (c!wilbur, c!dream, and even c!techno,) that he views as role models. Power imbalances are something that can also affect boys, yes, but this is where the coding comes in to set them apart. PLEASE REMEMBER Coding is used to identify traits that align with minority experiences, both good and bad. That does not mean c!tommy is LITERALLY a girl. It is a tool utilized in rhetorical analysis.

In this case, the constant subjugation of c!tommy by the men he yearns to trust, and subsequent self blame and denial when they hurt him fit into an experience closely associated with misogyny, and to go even further into the meta, a misogynistic view of feminine victimhood. The way c!tommy’s trauma interrupts his psychological and emotional development is received by thousands of fans who still deny his abuse even happened as “annoying”, “mean”, and “just as bad” as his perpetrator(s). This is observed from the existence of c!dream apologists and sympathizers, and to a more complicated extent, c!wilbur apologists. But I digress.

C!tommy is coded as feminine because in the majority of media centering victims of this kind of abuse, the character is a woman, and a woman can and will always be blamed for what happened to her. In the case of DSMP, this blame comes from the man who is protected by the spoils of his privilege as an oppressor, status in his community, and the many other people (predominantly young women) he has managed to manipulate to be in opposition to his victim. Fiction affecting real life and all…. Which is why I think this evidence of coding is so important.

To add another disclaimer for the bad faith warriors, being a victim does NOT make a character femme coded, however, the way he is treated in canon and the way the fanbase reacts to how he grapples with the lasting trauma is certainly rooted in misogynistic talking points.

Looking forward to writing more ^__^ thank u for being so interested anony. I’ve welcomed some friends who I trust very much to help me write it and I’m very excited.

addendum: there is no right or wrong way to interpret ctommy or dsmp or the response to how he was depicted... i only wish to start a conversation and get my thoughts out. if u disagree that is ur prerogative and i respect it <3

Do you think sega would ever give sonadow a chance? If so how would you think it would turn out?

He brought his Grunpy Bear with him into battle.

I think that SEGA could. I’m seeing more people open to the ship now than ever. I’m pretty open to how they’d handle it IF it were to be canon. Here’s to hoping that we get more soon!🫶✨❤️

[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

can you stop trying to be funny and post unrelated stuff and just reblog the famous posts like you're supposed to

unfortunately I cannot

I did create the “the hellsite answers” tag so it can be blocked if you don’t want to see asks

but there are other blogs that I think only reblog posts (like @worldheritagepostorganization and many others that I can’t think of at the moment) that you’re free to follow if you prefer that

The hoes gonna lOoOove THIS

[modest-old-castle]

on my fourth RWRB rewatch and here’s what i’ve picked up this time (except it’s only the first half of the movie bc I never finished this rewatch):

in the opening, the newscast says Martha Fitzroy but the NYT article Ellen holds up says Martha Thompson

forever obsessed w “oh, unlike you, whose role is clearly spelled out in Article Nothing of the US Constitution”

would love a breakdown of the set for the Oval Office and what art they included (two busts, looks like one is a man and one is a woman? could be nondescript but presidents usually pick their art for reasons and I assume MML + scene team did the same) (Abe Lincoln is also there which may be a callback to Alex’s line to Miguel)

respectfully there’s no way Alex is doing well in his law classes w the life he leads (source: i’m a lawyer)

when Henry texts Alex w the “ACD is going to be a father” article, Alex had the Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act up on his laptop (✨foreshadowing✨)

Alex calls for Henry when H leaves the New Year’s party

the bi color scheme in the scene in Nora’s office is Elite

snow? in DC?? on new years??? about as unbelievable as a Democratic woman pres winning Texas

pretty sure CMQ said they picked the albums in Alex’s room (would also love a breakdown for these picks although some seem obvious) and they are: Wonderful Wonderful by the Killers; Rumours by Fleetwood Mac; Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty; good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar; Bigger Than Both of Us by Daryl Hall & John Oates; and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

Henry fidgets w the ring when he asks Alex about the polo match 🥺

I can’t remember if it was a detail in the book but Henry always in double breasted suits and Alex (largely) in unbuttoned sport coats just Makes Sense stylistically and character-wise (Henry more traditional, “put together,” and closed off, Alex more modern and open) (also Henry taking said double breasted suit off for Alex)

plus Henry’s Rolex (? I don’t know watches) vs Alex’s Apple Watch

the HANDS which for better or for worse (*cough* better) just solidifies how much I associate them w Pride & Prejudice

two prominent pride campaign posters in the back of Ellen’s Texas campaign office when Alex gets there

sincerely hope Texas is Alex’s summer job bc there’s no way he’s doing 18 hour days plus law school (but also is that really only taking 3 months) (also I know his thing is that he never sleeps but geez)

Oval Office decor update: Harriet Tubman and FDR portraits

I hate to be that person that diagnoses fictional characters with stuff that I don’t have but also I am 90% sure that Percy has undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. I’ve done a bit of research for some of my own characters and while I can’t remember all the symptoms off the top of my head, I do know that he shows most of them. I won’t go into all the details but the first thing that comes to mind is his entire dynamic with Diggory. That whole relationship screams favorite person.

[tvrningout]

y’all already know this by now, but this is an official post to say i’m on semi-hiatus/hiatus for the time being. i might decide on an official day to come back later to help get me back into the spirit of being here, or i may pop in occasionally if i’m bitten by the writing bug; regardless, i just need a good, zero-pressure break to rest and handle the internal and external issues happening in my life. i could ramble about it, but i won’t this time :’ )

all that said, you can message me on discord at ‘ waitforspring. ’ and that’s with the period! i still wanna keep in contact, and i might even feel up to writing a few, little things on discord, too. just keep in mind that i may be slow to respond at times — i’m known to be a snail, and i don’t think that’ll ever change asdfg

i miss y’all, and i want you to know that whether it’s a day or a month or a year, you deserve to rest. you deserve to take time for yourself. you deserve to focus on different parts of your life, and you deserve to use your time how you want. remember that, and please take care of yourselves, friends 💜

the lengths d20 enjoyers go to justify their fav’s absurdly bonkers bits as being narrative-relevant is so fascinating to me

[soulofapoet]

I have to remind myself sometimes to take a step back and not start doomscrolling. I have to remind people that I will indulge in politics but I can only take it so far because I will unintentionally drive myself into a panic attack if I get too focused.

I can post about current world events and post silly drawings or rant about vampires. To not drive myself insane. To have a little bit of joy. I should be able to do that without feeling guilty.

I’ve lost sleep over this KOSA ordeal, stupid really but I get terrified. I am terrified. Though there’s so many faults, errors, loopholes, breaches, just straight up lies. Sure, it may pass to the Senate but the House of Representatives will probably shut it down if that happens. It gets shut down every year but it just seems so gloomy.

But don’t give up. Speak out about it, call and email until your representatives and senators can’t ignore the problems. It does make a difference, it really does. Don’t give up even if it gets passed to the Senate. You can’t. Because it may American-born but it will be an effect worldwide.

At first, I was just going to include their four big arguments, but I’m curious about how the other scenes and conflicts compare…

Vote however you like! For your favorite, or the one that would win in a meta-fight somehow, or the most disastrous, or the most Them…

more context for options:

Hume - does Lymond setting Will up to get himself arrested at Hume and swooping in as Don Luis count as a fight? Will gets beaten up, for sure, by the English and then hit in the face by his rescuer. It’s a conflict, even if it’s a one-sided and planned one. It’s an iconic moment in literature!

Lymond picks a fight about Will’s shoddy morals, and Will gets mad at him about Christian! And then Lymond gives him George Douglas’s letter about the hostage exchange. And tucks him into bed. I have thoughts about this scene!

Will secretly meets up with his father and walks into Richard and Janet’s trap. Johnnie gets him out but immediately tells Lymond what happened, and wow they have an argument. Incredible quotes about intentions and warm niches and quince seeds in cups of lukewarm water therein.

Will Scott wants to go to bed in his own bed! The door is locked! There’s a sword. There’s a fight. There’s a chance to take over …. And you will Never guess who wins!

Yes, he’s also mad about his dad being in danger. Lymond and Gideon run into an indignant Scott on the way back from Herriot. Gnatlike mockery and acrobatics ensue. “Get down!” “Make me?” … Brief but hilarious and fascinating to spectators. But there’s so little trust between them after all this, and what’s next is ….

… Betrayal! Pain! Symbolism! He hid the gold in the convent! Andrew Hunter has so much nerve! Turkey Mat is about to die! The narration gives us the final “marigold” of the book! Homoerotic wrestling!

“There is nothing very jolly about being locked in a cellar with a man whom, in every possible sense, you have just stabbed in the back.” THERE IS FOR ME!
