[chaifootsteps]

You know how i cope with the fact that Helluva Boss is "wasted potential: the show"? By gaslighting myself into tinking thats not an actual cartoon, but a fanfic of one better adult cartoon from another universe:

In some other paralel universe, there is an aclaimed adult Cartoon that aired in adult swim from the early 2000's, called "Helluva Job", wich follows the wacky adventures or 4 demons, all very different in personalities and have a hard time working together, triying to get out of their miserable life as the lowest class of demons in hell by working on killing humans in exchange of money from those who commision them those murders.

Every episode its about them trying to get their new target, a premise thats kinda repetitive but the show manages to make it fresh avaery episode with its creativity.

It had a wacky absurd humor that doesnt take itself seriously, sometimes based on very silly and cartoony things happening to the protagonists, it also had a very, VERY dark humor that would make kinda fucked out jokes about taboo themes (kinda like drawn together), wich made many people belive that the show "didnt age well" despite still being hilarous. It also had some sexual humor, but it was very limited and always with clever jokes that arent just the characters screaming the names of genitals.

Robo-Fizz, The Cherubs and Verosika are some of the recurring villains that where remembered for having neat designs very charismatic personalities. Even the people that never saw the show know them and loves them.

The show was also know for having a lot of criticism of capitalism and rich people hidden behind clever dark humor, that didnt distract from the sillines of its show.

Stolas is just a recurring joke of "that one creepy old man Blitzo sleep with because he is rich and has to do it to keep his job", he never gets more than 4 minutes on screen and its always him being an steriotypical rich asshole who abuses his power and makes gross comments to Blitzo (and he is very classist and racist). Stella is just the woman thats married to him and she tries to be a decent wife, but she is clearly annoyed with him and clearly she just waiting for him to ask divorce.

Stolas also dies in the finale of the show when a metor falls over him, Blitzo celebrates this in the most childish and exagerated (but also extremely funny) way possible.

The art style was like a combination between Clone High and Dexter's laboratory, with the use of exagerated shapes to form its cgaracters. And the animation was just decent, but its praised over the character designs, wich are simple yet efective and creative

The show got 2 seasons and those were enough, it was remembered as one of the darkerst yet funniest cartoons that ever aired on adult swim, and how people still rewatching it years later.

Meanwhile, Vivziepop is some popular artist in the fandom of that show thats know because, for some reason, she got obsessed with Stolas fucking Blitzo, and she insist that their relationship is the most beautiful thing ever, and hates Stella for some headcanons she created about her.

She wrote the know fanfic "Helluva Boss" wich is basically her mischaracterising every character into becoming this really boring, flavourless version of themselves and get reducted to one aspect of their personality. And her trying to gaslight us into thinking that Blitzo and Stola's relationship was some misunderstood tragic wholesome romance, because "Stolas actually loved him!". Almost everyone in the fandom makes fun of this fanfic.

Extremely valid, Anon. To get by in this bitch of a world, sometimes you've just got to gaslight yourself a little.

[pixelatedraindrops]

Any sick headcannons about the train detectives ? I know there are some people out there that would love to hear about them being sick. 👀💕

Aaaah… Oh no, not more characters that I don’t invest myself in whatsoever… x’D Sorry but I had no time to get attached to them, so they disappeared from my brain right after Ch.0 and when the NDA detectives came into the fray x’D

Okay then, let me try to pull some things out with what little I know about them.

Zilch Alexander (real)

Like a sick animal, he prefers to be alone if he’s not feeling well to not trouble anyone else

He tends to brush the fur of his clothes as a distraction from the ickiness that he feels

He loves snuggling with his animal friends who usually don’t leave his side if he feels poorly. Especially his dogs.

He wears some of his furry scarves as part of his sickly disheveled appearance.

The ears on his hat get droopy if he feels ill.

If he has a caretaker he tends to behave like an animal with them if he’s delirious from fever. Not in a weird way, but he becomes very affectionate and likes nuzzling his face into soft places and into other people if he uses them as a pillow.

If he’s hot sometimes he sticks his tongue out when panting. (Like a dog lol)

He wears multiple furry jackets if he’s cold (though sadly this just makes his fever worse…)

If he has a cold, he has very peculiar sneezes. He doesn’t say anything out-loud, rather his sneezes are similar to a animal’s and it’s very fitful. (sadly this causes snot to go everywhere unless he covers his nose with his sleeve or a tissue)

Melami Goldmine

She’s actually very good at taking care of herself.

Even while ill she still wants to look her best. She cannot afford to look so poorly. So she wears her best outfit even if she’s not well.

Sadly this backfires when she sneezes or coughs, causing the outfit to get dirty with unwanted bodily fluids. How revolting.

So to remedy this issue, she gets the prettiest and silkiest set of nightwear she can wear at times like these.

She makes sure she has her favorite teas and coffee brands if she ever has a sore throat.

She has quality bath salts if she wants to relax and help her nose feel unstuffed.

If she has a caretaker she acts like a bit of a spoiled diva. Over exagerating her condition on purpose so her caretaker pays more attention to her. (shes needy and spoiled)

Making impossible requests and being super picky with how her meals are arranged.

(Not a sick headcanon, but I think Melami makes a very ideal caretaker. Especially when Yuma didn’t feel well. She made sure to try to help him, she seemed almost motherly. I honestly wish that Yuma accepted her help and company back to the infirmary. Maybe then she might have survived…)

Pucci Lavmin

Whenever Pucci feels or gets sick, she needs it to be QUIET.

Her ears get even more sensitive to sound if shes not healthy, especially she has a migraine or headache.

Her forte is rendered useless

She sleeps with multiple colorful teddy bears in her bed and tends to snuggle with them. (The pink one is still her favorite.)

She is very prone to ear infections. And the ear infections tend to make her get feverish too.

Shes in a BAD mood if shes ill, so she prefers to not be bothered by anyone else.

But the poor thing can’t get up to help herself due to the immense dizziness and loud ringing in her head, so she does need someone to try to assist her. As much as she may not like or prefer it.

She often cries if her fever gets too high and is super emotional when shes delirious. (A bit of a crybaby)

If shes not feeling too bad, she enjoys having soft piano or very soft classical music playing in the room while she rests. It soothes her spirit.

Aphex Logan

Another one thats usually fairly good at looking after himself.

Due to his rough time growing up in the slums after losing his family, he had to adept to surviving, even tending to himself if he got sick or hurt

Though there are times where it gets very bad, and he can’t handle it alone.

Anyone caring for him may be hard since he doesn’t trust anybody. He needs to truly be at his lowest before he accepts help.

He’s prone mostly to breathing or coughing issues due to the slums having polluted or dirty air.

If he coughs, it’s very NASTY AND SERIOUS. He may even vomit if he coughs too much.

His lungs are very delicate due to growing ip in a filthy enviornment

He tends to have fever dreams of his departed family, causing him to cry in his sleep.

And usually sees whoever cares for him as one of his parents (depending on the caretaker’s gender) in his feverish haze.

Zange Eraser

Typical old man sickness lol

He has a nasty rough and crusty cough that can be heard from a mile away.

If the sickness isn’t too bad he tries to continue his day simply wearing a mask on his face to be propper

But if it’s bad, he stays properly bedridden

In this state his forte can sometimes go haywire

And he unintentionally records things he sees in his fever dreams and he awakens with various odd imagery on his phone.

So he usually doesn’t do any detective work if he feels poorly for this reason.

He makes a lot of bathroom trips in between resting. (at times almost falling over or using the wall as support)

He enjoys watching old BW adventure movies if he’s rendered immobile in bed or on whatever sofa that he rests on.

They usually knock him out not long after.

I hope this is good enough for you to work from!!

Give those train detective fans my best c:

POKAPRIL Day 28 : BB League Drayton

ONE ETERNITY LATER. Well thats an exageration but still I took my sweet time to finish this challenge. I wanted to at least finish ONE project in my life lol

[the1entirecircus]

The Dinosaur/Extinct/Ancient Thing each Scarlet Paradox Pokemon is based on imo

As a dinosaur and pokemon nerd, I am compelled by a greater force (autism) to explain away the inspirations to each scarlet pokemon even if they're just a stretch.

Great Tusk- It took me a minute to realize this, but Donphan's paradox counterpart is obviously an Ankylosaur. While not based on the Ankylosaurus itself, Great Tusk does share elements of the dinosaur family such with its back plates with spikes. And while the Ankylosaur family do not have fur/feathers, giant trunks, or tusks, it is still evident by those back plates, that they are an inspiration. It could be argued that the facial structure of Great Tusk is just an exagerated and heavily mishapened Ankylosaurus. Its dumb but still.

Scream Tail- While at first, you might think that Scream Tail isn't based on anything as it is just a wilder version of the Jigglypuff we all know and love, if we take its lore into consideration then we can see that there is something to see. Scream Tail is based on the single-celled organisms that existed in our world. Now this is seemingly a stretch until you consider that in the pokemon world, this might have been when Mew was first started to branch off and adapt. This can be evidenced by Scream Tail's psychic typing as why else would it have psychic powers unless if it descended from Mew.

Brute Bonnet- Now this is a really big stretch so here me out. Brute Bonnet is based on Pachycephalosaurs, aka the dome-headed dinosaurs. I say this because A) the spikes on its head that remind me of the spikes that surround the skull. B) Its aggressive demonstrated within the game as well as its level-up moveset which is reminiscent of how Pachycephalosaurs are often portrayed as aggressive in media. and C) the shape of its mouth is similar, not the exactly the same, but similar to the mouth shape of a pachycephalosaurus. Yes it is a stretch, but it makes to me.

Flutter Mane- This is obvious as it is mentioned in its lore, but Flutter Mane is a pterosaur. Sure, it is just a Misdreavus with elements of a pterosaur. No obvious design elements are implanted into this pokemon to make it seem like a particular pterosaur, so I am not compelled to say either or. Its like with the others, its reminiscent of a type of dinosaur, but very vague on which one. And I think thats the point to this pokemon. Because I've seen that when refering to Pteranodon, people usually say Pteradactyl. They're not wrong, they just may not realize that they are saying frog. Yes, there is a pterodactylus, but it isn't what the common people think of when they say pterodactyl, they're thinking of pteranodon.

Slither Wing- No doubt about this one, this is definitely a Stegosaurus that would give people with insectophobia nightmares. From the way it doesn't use its wings like wings to how it swings its tail in certain attack animations, this pokemon is definitely reminiscent of Stegosaurs. Sure, it doesn't have the thagomizer aka the tail spikes Ankylosaurus has, but it does have a very thick tail. Another good explanation as to why Slither Wing is based on a Stegosaur is because of the theories on what Stegosaurus' backplates can do. They weren't built for defense as they are very fragile, and I can imagine the same for Silther Wing's wings. Some believe that they were used to regulate body temperature or that they could move in flapping motions like as we see with Slither Wing. I mainly bring that up because of Slither Wing having the ability protosynthesis and how its the paradox form of Volcarona who is revered as a sun god by some.

Sandy Shocks- This is the most vaguely dinosaur-inspired pokemon I have ever seen, mostly because its Magneton which is a magnet pokemon. I initially thought it would be some kind of magneton sauropod (the long-necked dinosaurs) but I'm not entirely sure. You can consider the the long magnets on its bottom side as two pairs of legs, but you can also consider the magnets on its top head as its own pair of arms and its a brute bonnet situation. Its very vague. I initially believed it to be a sauropod so I'm going to go with that.

Roaring Moon- When I first saw this pokemon, I wasn't sure what it was aside from Mega Salamence. I want to say its Quetzalcoatlus because it has feathers, it flies so pterosaur, and its the big boss of the regular scarlet paradox pokemon so obviously a famous "dinosaur" needs to be picked. And when I did some research on Quetzalcoatlus' namesake, the Quetzalcoatl, and I learned that is considered he was related to the sun. So maybe Roaring Moon is a reverse of that?

Winged King/Koraidon- One may look at Koraidon and think that it just a basic dinosaur mixed with a dinosaur bike from the Flintstones cartoon and Toothless from HTTYD. However, my eyes sees differently. I see a combination of Iguanodon, Tyrannosaurus, and raptors as well as reptiles like the chameleon. I say this because The first drawings of Iguanodon appear similar to Koraidon. Its just a fatter and bulkier version of the same animal, but red, and with feathers. Iguanodon is also one of the first discovered dinosaurs, and its one of the first Paradox pokemon we meet. Its name, Winged King, is somewhat reminiscent of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's translated name "Tyrant Lizard King". Then theres raptors, specifically, Jurassic Park's Velociraptors. They are often depicted as incredibly smart and social, being able to form groups with each other and coordinate. There is also a distinct difference between the raptors of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. In JP, they are more violent and predatory while in JW, they are considerably more domesticated as seen with Blue the Velociraptor. They are still violent and predatory. I mention this because of the two Koraidon we see in Pokemon Scarlet. The one the player has is reminiscent of Blue the Velociraptor while the other Koraidon is more equal to the Big One from Jurassic Park. Also in Jurassic Park /// there are Velociraptors with sparce feathering which is akin to Koraidon's feathers which aren't as sparce but still.

Walking Wake- Visually, its a theropod version of suicune with a lion's mane. However, I think its a reference to both raptors and cryolophosaurus. Cryolophosaurus is a big meat-eating dinosaur with a crest on its head. There are also many other dinosaur species that have crests. Dilophosaurus and Monolophosaurus are just to name a few. But Cryolophosaurus is picked because of its name and origin. Its name means Ice-crested lizard and it was named that because its fossil was found around the antarctic. If we take a look at Walking Wake's crest, it is visually made of ice, or at least a hard rocky material thats blue.

Gouging Fire- It is very obvious what type of dinosaur Gouging Fire is. It is a ceratopsian like Styracosaurus and others similar to it. However, it isn't just a ceratopian, in fact its arguable that it is part stegosaurus because of the plates on its backside. Thats right, Gouging Fire is kind of a hybrid dinosaur, referencing the Stegoceratops from Jurassic World's deleted content and Jurassic World the game and Evolution. Of course, this part is a stretch, but its notable to mention. Also, unrelated but I love how its smoke creates its tail. Very creative design choice.

Raging Bolt- Like before, it is very obvious that this pokemon is a sauropod, but unlike Gouging fire it is mixed with elements of several sauropods. It was mainly a titanosaur, having the long front legs of brachiosaurus and looking like a giraffe which is in reference to Giraffetitan...and Raikou. I also feel like choice to make raikou be the long-necked dinosaur was done because of Brontosaurus' history as a dinosaur. Brontosaurus has been accidentally mixed with Apatosaurus and I don't know if its still considered a valid species or not because I've heard it be said that Brontosaurus is a real dinosaur and then it isn't, its just apatosaurus, but then it is its own species. Its very confusing. And the reason why I say this is because its a paradox, its fitting, and because Bronto means thunder. Side note, I hate its tail, it does not balance its body unless that tail is really dense.

[orangepeelshortbreadcookies]

It is very obvious how you and your friend ( specially her from what you wrote in the notes) hate Pen and wish her the very bad, as you write that 1st option of finale. Do you really think she is that bad that after all that she'll continue like nothing?? Thats what you get she is in the show?? And the reaction the B has was waaaay too much and exagerated to say the least. It was only gossip!!! The beast comment was silly and affects nothing. Eloise was all well and daphne had two options of man!! And yes, violet scheme all the plan but without LW the berbroke news would have never get to the ton so, it seem to me it was too much. I read the fic.

All the respect you for writting for free things others enjoy. Its a great thing. But i can have my opinion on it. I wanted to read to see others vision.

Hello,

First, I can't speak for my co-writer. I didn't think Penelope is that bad to write the first ending of my fic as such. I didn't need to. It's literally what happened at the end of season 2. Eloise confronted Penelope about LW, Penelope doubled down on it, she overheard Colin in the garden then returned to continue Whistledown. Except for having more reactors to the LW reveal (and I find it pretty fucking reasonable to be upset over finding out your personal affairs have been exploited by a trusted family friend), I didn't have to make up anything.

Pretty convenient that you neglected to mention or forgot that Marina almost died because of the harmless gossip you claimed Penelope wrote. In a show which purposefully integrates race into its worldbuilding, the "beast" comment is a racial slur, end of. No matter if the writers are aware of it or not, we wanted to address it, so we did it in our own fic.

So by your logic, if after getting stabbed you manage to get to the hospital on time, receive medial aid and survive it, that means you were never harmed in the first place right? Because everything turned out alright, that means nothing was that bad in the beginning. Is that what you mean? Because that's what it looks like from what you claimed.

You're absolutely right in that you can have your own opinion. But so can we. I hope you have a blast on those other fics you enjoy more.

Have a nice day.

[the-eyemunchies]

A small discussion. We all know ghoatbusters is autisti media, but can we talk about how all the ghostbusters are definitely neuroatypical (except for Winston).

So this is my Thread(i will only be using the movies but i could add so much more with the Real ghostbusters):

So let's start with the easy one, Egon is Obviously Autistic, he is the steriotypical autistic person, blunt, which shows difficulty in communication, has a hard time with socialization and has repetitive and behaviour. (Yes, those are the main 3 traits to define autism according to the dms-5 ), but we can add in some other stuff like he restrictive eating and hyperfocus that arent defining traits but are also associated.

Now let's go for Ray, i see a lot of people mentioning of autistic behaviour related to Ray and well due to Dan himself being autistic. but i will throw a thing out here, Ray has ADHD Not autism, specifically the mixed adhd which brings in the lack of attention along with hyperactivity. (i know the spectrum shows differently in each person but this is my headcanon and what i observed) So lets start, he is very impulsive, and take actions sometimes without even thinking, plus very active, childish, and he lacks a lot of attention like they'd be talking about a thing and stantz would trail off or even start something without even considering causes, like with the proton packs, ray was the first one to offer himself even if it is a nuclear weapon. He could go overboard like when he is asked to scream to the mood slime and goes over the top, and now that's not necessarily a adhd characteristic, but it's common, he is very adoptive and quickly witted.

Now, for the one no one ever talks about when mentioning about neurodiversity in ghostbusters and my favourite Venkman.

Oh, how do i start with this one, thats the most AuDhD person, in the movies the phrases like "Good or bad is a bit fuzzy in my mind" or "dont stare at me you have the bug eyes, im sorry" both the situation, of not exactly understanding the morals or social effects and of not liking to be stared at, (he barely looks at people faces while talking to them) The lack of feel and being rather apathetic, being calm to react to stuff, like on the second on thr mocie when they were being judged and he was telling louis exactly what to say and yet extreme impulsive action, like the way he behaved with peck, his extreme sincerity and plus even tho he is very communicative his ways of communication are very directed as in the need to alrewdy have a theme or create a move. he needs a topic to communicate with people, like i found it so stupid that he used the experiment to hit on the girl on the first scene then he used jokes to die out his anxiety and he is not very expressive and to actually talk to dana he used the excuse of the ghost hunting, and the way he began to freak out about the ectoplasma (now obviously im over exagerating) could be seen as sensory issues, much like ray he also gets side tracked and distracted a lot. It's hard to have two voices in ya head telling the most logical and other one telling the impulsive intrusive thought, and he shows the mixture of the two perfectly. and if you want to push even farther in, we can discuss dislexia. The fact he has to ask Ray to read certain words for him and tell him what it says is already very interesting. (Adding in Bill murray is not openly autistic, but there were mentions about it in old interviews and some stuff in different people mentioning the possibility. but for the section of factuality, let's say no)

It could've been an accident or not, but here we have it. this is my belief that none of this is canon. im not Dan nor Harold remis im just a person who really likes those characters and is also Autistic.

i love this picture of ernie hudson its so silly

[rennsdeaddoves]

journey to the west book one, thoughts

so this post is going to be really messy and jumbled, i will take my thoughts one chapter at a time. since this post contains all the chapters in book one imma but everything under the cut and warn ya'll that this is HELLA long.

ok so, before we get into it i just wanna let you guy's know that if the first 13 chapters seem like they have less it's because i only really started to do this on chapter 14 and had to go back through chapters 1 - 13 and look at the notes and tabes i left to gage my reaction to them. some of them have a bit more than others and some have like none at all.

Rant On Humanisation VS Redemption. (And why Gilgamesh Sucks)

So there are like, a thousand ways in which people can be media illiterate. But to me the worst will always be peoples inability to tell the difference between a humanisation arc and a redemption arc. I do not exagerate when i say it may verry well be the "original sin" of media illiteracy.

I get it, you're shown the villains life from their point of view, maybe even see them struggle a little and your evolutionary packbonding and social-empathy instincts make you empathise and sympathise with the bastard until you forget they were the bad guy. But there's a fucking difference between these two types of characterarcs and people should really be better at telling them apart.

a redemption arc is about showing that sometimes people can be better and truly change. Meanwhile humanisation arcs are there because a villain cant serve as a warning not to become them unless we can see ourselves in them in the first place. And the literal Ur-example would be Gilgamesh. A story everyone assures me is "the first heroic epic", but which is nothing of the sort. Its the first villain protagonist in our literary cannon. And that is not me interpreting it. That is the explicit text of this fractured stone-tablet. You know how I know its the explicit text? For two reasons: 1: The text literally begins "there once was a tyrant so heinous, rapist and cruel gods and mortals alike agreed to put a hit on him" (I think we can all agree that in a story, when gods and mortals agree unanimously, we can consider it an axiomatic truth of the story that shits dire) But you know, thats the start of the story right? Gilgamesh (alledgedly) "grows" over the course of the story into a better person right? Oh wait no he doesnt the story has to go out of its way in the end to bring in a wise-old-sage figure (Ziusudra) to explicitly exposit to Gilgamesh (and through him the audience) that he's still the same irredeemable, cruel and selfish abomination of a tyrant he's always been. Because even back then writers and poets knew they couldnt trust their audience to grasp the distinction between these two narrative arcs without explicitly telling the audience which one their story was.

The epic of Gilgamesh is clearly meant to be this message of hope for future generations, that whatever despotic tyrant plagues you is as mortal as Gilgamesh himself turned out. That "even this will come to pass". But because people cant stop "draco in leather pants"-ing every villain in the literary cannon the core message of the story just never lands with people, claiming it to be a redemption story when it is explicitly not about that at all. I dont care wether you think GilgameshXEnkidu is the ship of all time, how about you realise the basic premise of the story first.

38, 40, and B for all!

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

Alex:

Alex doesnt thing of the distant past, wont let himself. At least not now. Most things are heavily repressed as much as he can to avoid thinking about that.

In terms of more recent things,,, I think he freudntly revists the memories with his child. He misses the hybrid quite a lot, the parabolan base camp feeling far too empty when he's the only one there. There's a sense of almost nostalgia in returning to those memories, even if the situation was not great, he still misses the times in his own way.

Jamie:

Jamie tries to avoiding revisiting memories (...in more ways then one...) but isn't always so successful in that matter. As far as they're considered the past is done - there's no sense fussing over it, nothing could have been different anyways......

In lighter terms, it's probably happier memories they return to. Old times of telling stories late into the night, adventures when running off into the nearby woods, all sorts of little things.

...in darker terms, it's probably one of the many memories of being alone in the past

Or, perhaps, more recent memories. Of a hand in their hair or the grip on their wrists, and other less entierly wanted things....

Josephine:

She doesn't remember a whole lot from when she was young, both the fading from the years gone by and the ever complicated mix of devasting trauma making it harder to piece together where things fit.

But she remembers lying up in the evening outing, fighting sleep that tried to pull her under, listening to the peaceful sound fingers on keys as her mother played the piano. What that melody was, she has long since forgotten. But the way it made her feel secure, that she keeps.

Aurora:

I think Aurora tends to go back to the memory of her childhood a lot. When she first was taken home by her mother, she gave Aurora a toy bear, the first toy Aurora ever really had. She thinks on that memory a lot, and what came from it, and where she is now.

They also frequently revist a memory of the first time they truly spilt blood. It wasnt even intentional - fencing blades arent supposed to be sharp. they dont know what happened... or truly what they remember

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

Alex:

I think,,,,,, Alex is aware, somewhat, of his flaws. But it really depends on his flaws. Alex knows he's grouchy and awkward and doesnt get along with people because of it- and he's fine with that. Most of the time he wants to be left alone and not deal with other people. It only becomes a problem when he wants to get along and help someone and is left unable to do so. he really doesnt mean to come across as insulting, but he know he does.

Other things well... Alex knows he has a temper. He's aware and tries his best to avoid loosing his cool but well... its hard. especially with the situations he's been in leaving emotional regulation all the more difficult for him. He's terrified of turning out like the people who've hurt him, terrified of hurting those he cares about, and he's quite sensistive about his anger because of these things. He doesnt know what to do.

And then theres the things he's not fully aware of. at least not fullly. Alex's hypocricy and controlling behaviour are things he really should be more sensitive too but... well. its harder to recgonize these things when you believe its justified.

Jamie:

Extremely, extremely sensitive to their flaws. And then some. Jamie tends to over exagerate their own performance and see flaws even when they arent there. Were they talking too loud again? For too long? Did they say the right things? To the right people? Everyone was watching them, what if they did it wrong? They are the type of person to lie awake at night analyzing every single interaction theyve had during the day and then some. They tend to get heavily into their own head and overjudged and anaylze their every fault in a very unhealthy way.

Thats not to say this really effects the way they behave. Jamie still acts selfish and self serving, still tends to talk over and past others, and hardly ever learns their lesson about sticking their nose where it doesnt belong, or insulting people when they really shouldnt. No matter if theyre aware that they shouldnt do these things they still..... do it.

They know what they do isnt healthy. They know interacting with certains things and certain people isnt good for them

They still do it anyways.

Josephine:

Josie is well...she's a very ends justify the mean type of person. Yes of course her obsessive need to know isn't good, yes she can become overly captured on a topic, yes she keeps information she knows from others people but this is all FOR A REASON. she has goals to reach, plans in motion, things to come. is it always morally good? No. But the world they live in isnt either. Some sacrifices have to be made.

Other things, she denies all together. It is very clear to anyone that Josie is too caught up in her grief, her inability to move on. But how can she be blamed for that? When the world has been so horridly unfair to her?

So yes, i suppose Josephine is sensitive to and aware of her flaws. but she would never admit and succumb to them.

Aurora:

Rory has no flaws. She sees nothing wrong with what she's doing. She certainly doesn't sit up at night wondering if there's any purpose in what she does, if killing for the sake of it is at all worth her time.

In other things well.... She grew up with the world so insistent that she had to behave one way, its hard still not to view just existing against the mold as a flaw, no matter how untrue it is. she tends to just shove everything down and try to avoid thinking about it.

B) What inspired you to create them?

idk i just work here.

my ocs come to me in a beam to my head and they exist from then on out

i guess their individual ambitions inspired me ajkfglglhljk

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

4. Hrrmmmm well, i cant think of any favs i have difficulty drawing, its mostly just stylizing them in a way thats unique to me, but if i ever have trouble with that, i just stick to their on model show design and then slowly warm up to it 👍

21. Ohoho i have many favs, i adore a wide range of styles such as robert valley's, rebecca sugar also had a fluid style that inspired me alot before, or rise of the tmnt's art direction helped me push and exagerate my proportions to be more fun, tartakovsky's style is also one of the most visually appealing as seen in the variety of shows he directed (samurai jack has a lot of good cinematic scenes using lineless art)

And so many more ranging from artists online that ive followed for years/finding out about recently, to animated shows and movies! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

[menalez]

"^_^ but thank u for taking the time to use that to actually defend actual lesbophobia that was expressed'

first of all I'm literally not defending it I agree she's lesbophobic and I've never liked ms-revived-frogs tbh she says so much shit off the cuff and then completely doubles down unreasonably. she's just a contrarian that think she's the only one that really understands anything. maybe a symptom of her age but im still not gonna give her a pass or then she'll just continue to b like that.

second of all I literally wasn't the anon that sent any of those original asks but I did know wtf they are talking about w piqued. idk about the rest im only talking about the piqued thing. i just think its crazy how radblr can correctly recognize those comparisons are lesbophobic and wrong, but when people call us dick worshipers or spread essays on how we're identical to men, suddenly thats no biggie and the only evil is that the bihets think they have the right to complain. piqued was the least bad person to reblog that shit essay bcoz she at least partly acknowledged some bits were bad, but she still thinks that the "bad" parts like comparing our sexual assaults to TIM completely fake murder stats or saying we're dick worshipers or the premise of the essay on how we're identical to men are completely acceptable to pass around even if their 'bad' if she decides she thinks its worth it, and us rape victims are pathetic if we take offense at her choice. and thats the thing even when u all say that harassment or abuse against bi women is "bad", a lot of ppl on here just treat it as like a fart in the room at most nothing real and nothing realated to real pain or oppression just annoying whining. ppl oppose it in theory but in practice they completely let ppl like that off the hook and show way more anger at any bisexuals that bring up the topic of how ppl harass us treating us like we're complaining over nothing. no ones gonna call desisapphic, ornitomoltorinco, like-a-ruby, eliminatedmighty, angrylesbianatwork, and dozens others that passed that shit around homophobes for making light of our rape and using it as a gotcha or misogynists for how they call us dick worshippers. no one's ever gonna spare any anger for them even if they mildly criticize, it all goes only into insisting that bi "male worshipers" exagerate everything and can be believed. And I'm not talking about you but rad spaces as a whole. I actually don't think ur that bad about bi women at all, u at least call bullshit bullshit when its direct, but you seem completely unable to call out sussy shit thats in between the lines, and the thing is i know u can coz ur smart and you do it all the time with other shit. but unfort a lot of people are alot shittier about bi women than u, i don't get why you have to pretend theyre not and bis are just making everything up.

“i just think its crazy how radblr can correctly recognize those comparisons are lesbophobic and wrong”

the idea that radblr is collectively recognising this as lesbophobic & wrong is laughable to me. i’m seeing more ppl outright justifying her lesbophobia n demonising me for criticising it than i am seeing ppl saying it was lesbophobic. and of the ppl calling it lesbophobic, almost every single one is a lesbian.

ur paragraph about piqued is.. literally nothing she even said. “TIM completely fake murder stats” is bizarre to say bc like.

the rate of transwomen of colour being murdered isn’t a myth. the myth is acting like trans women are the most vulnerable group, which overall they are not. however black or latam trans women are absolutely at high risk of being murdered:

and almost everything u took issue with is stuff she mentioned as an issue as well:

like idk i find it absolutely insane that of all the ppl u could have gone after, u specifically chose the lesbian who agreed with ur takes here and chose to demonise her. there’s also the fact that youre expecting *others* to go after what *you* find problematic *on your behalf* instead of just.. doing it urself? i mean none of u did shit when tagai/tonguehurt was harassing me and even happily grouped us together and acted like we were besties when she left. none of u cared when that general circle was being awful to me. and most of u directed not even 1/20th of the attacks directed at me towards the ppl u named above. and then on top of that ur like “hey why don’t u go after these ppl i disagree with harder? even tho we won’t call out the lesbophobia within our circles or call the ppl we disagree with out ourselves or anything else” .. just bizarre frankly

also i actually had no issue with ms-revived-frogs before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i disagreed with some things but the lesbians are unempathetic stuff she said was shocking to me bc i didn’t expect it from her. her inability to take any accountability and readiness to demonise me despite me giving her the benefit of the doubt n simply politely explaining how she was lesbophobic was also shocking to me considering she made it seem like she was an ally to lesbians. so how u felt about her prior to that doesn’t matter to me tbh, no one needs to dislike or hate her or anyone else. but that lesbophobia should be criticised

btw never heard of eliminatedmighty, i did criticise angrylesbianatwork but she’s inactive now anyways, don’t know what ornito did, and at most i disagree with like-a-ruby and desisapphic on some things but i’ve seen ppl go after those two and literally no one else you’ve mentioned which.. again i do find it interesting that the women who say they want front row seats to see a woman being abused by her bf/husband and called women misogynistic terms such as bulldyke-rider or others in her direct circle aren’t ppl that y’all go after nearly as much as ppl like desisapphic

[geostelar5]

Neanderthals

Last Anthropology Post popped off so lets go for another woot! OK so you guys know your typical View of the Neanderthal, Hunched Back, low eyebow, prominent ridge and all that right? Well something to note is that is NOT indicitive of Neanderthals as a whole, it was one of the FIRST skeletons of that kind that we found but it wasn't nearly the BEST one we found and thorugh it a lot of assumtions made into the public consiousness about what Nanderthals were, as the one we found was just highly exagerated. For some perspective, it would be like if someone today found Shaq's Skeleton and assumed that ALL Homo Sapiens looked like that, thats the level of Difference that guy had to the rest of his species.
