How Bill was defeated and captured by Ford in my Gf AU! He basically just tricked Bill into accepting a deal that trapped him within Ford's mind and under his control :]

He may have gotten a little out of hand though....

its fucking embarassing having to do this every 6 months. i swear to god.

deadbunny is not a necrophile. he did not desecrate a corpse.

he made an edgy drawing to cope with a death years ago.

it is a drawing.

it will not hurt anyone.

i retweeted bunlith fanart from him forever ago. i left polite replies when he leaves comments on my post throughout the years. we are not besties.

'but he gets off to it' do me a favor and talk to a lesbian. romanticizing death in a theoretical fashion is not new.

stop trying to use this as an excuse to slander me. its pathetic, and sad.

i dont talk about this because i dont want to participate in dragging his trauma up every 6 months but im left with no choice.

i am done with this. do not do it again.

Does Chloe tone down her direct bullying/harassment of Marinette after that day to just the dead mom jokes out of guilt, or is it more that Marinette now being homeschooled means Chloe just lost access? Also, does Lila try the whole lying/sabotaging thing on Marinette and just fail or does Marinette just not care?

Lila has no reason to sabotage Marinette because Marinette isn't threatening her little empire she wants to build. In fact, she really wants Marinette on her side BECAUSE she's not apart of the school, so she doesn't need to keep up an elaborate web of lies! She can just try to befriend a talented girl who makes AMAZING food and try to get freebies~

meanwhile, with Chloe, things got really complicated after the pool incident...

Tom was not in the mood to put up with this crap.

louis' queer expression is actually really similar to mine. and that might confuse some people, because i appear very obviously and loudly out, whereas a lot of people percieve louis as more subtle. but i think its a matter of perspective, as well as a matter of circumstance.

louis is bound by contracts to stay in the closet. he cant outright say "im gay and in a longterm relationship with a man" but otherwise? hes pretty casually queer as much as hes allowed to be.

perspective comes into play with people comparing his queer expression to harry's queer expression. harry leans more into expressing his queerness through femininity, in various forms. his expression is more clockable to cishets, he doesnt blend into heteronormative society very easily.

louis on the other hand, shows his queerness without as much femininity. i think thats the key disconnect im noticing in how people percieve his expression- they are quantifying queer expression by how outwardly feminine someone acts. louis is loudly and openly queer (as much as his contracts allow), hes just not as blatantly feminine as harry.

this is where ive noticed that his expression is similar to mine. i express my queerness in a casual and often more masculine way, if that makes sense. im very loud and proud, but im not feminine. if we take away the fact that im trans, as my transness is usually what gets me clocked as queer, most cishets on the street probably wouldnt pick up on my queerness. but thats not because im fearful or hidden about it by any means. its just not obvious to cishet people whos only means of identifying queerness is via stereotypes or blatant tells. most cishet people dont understand and cant pick up on casual everyday queerness, because theyre only familiar with the most exaggerated and blatant forms of it. neither are better or worse, but one is more obviously "different" to heteronormative masses.

i think thats my central point here. louis doesnt express his queerness is a stereotypical or easy to clock way. hes just. queer. and existing. as a man. and thats exactly how i express my queerness. but because im allowed to say the words "i am gay" and he isnt, the same person can have the perception of "micah is loud" vs. "louis is quiet", when in fact we express our queerness quite similarly in day to day life.

and this isnt to diminish harry's expression of queerness, not at all. his expression is equally as valid and genuine, but its just different to louis', and THAT dichotomy is a huge part of peoples misconceptions about louis' queer expression, i think. they see harry, someone who is outwardly feminine, someone who has waved rainbow flags on stage, someone who has worn gay sex tshirts, and they say "thats a loud open queer person." then in comparison, they see louis, who isnt as outwardly feminine, who is just a typical unassuming guy who is also gay, and they jump to the incorrect conclusion of "that is a fearful hidden queer person."

this isnt the whole picture of course. theres more i havent touched on like management using louis to do hard larry denials, which has contributed to the fandoms perception, for one thing. but i think this is something i wanted to point out, because i noticed how similar mine and louis' queer expressions are, and how small aspects like saying the phrase "i am gay" and my transness can drastically affect whether the same behaviors and same expressions will be percieved as "loud" or "quiet."

(and of course, im heavily touching on the way cishets tend to expect queer people to put on a show for them, how casual everyday queerness isnt "enough", and how people feel owed clockable visibility lest they accuse someone of being a coward. some people are openly gay and also not easily clockable as gay, these things can coexist.)

the real reason Steve brings a date to a high school basketball game for a high school he doesn’t even go to anymore is because the one time Nancy went with him the team won and his sports superstitions kicked in and he can’t just risk Lucas losing because of him not having a date, so he will take on the burden and ridicule of being the guy who graduated and drags new dates to games all in the name of not upsetting the delicate intricacies of rituals in sports

[shakingparadigm]

okay but seriously all jokes aside I really do understand ivan. like having a schedule so packed and busy is so insanely draining no matter how long you've conditioned yourself to endure it. sacrificing certain things like lunch or sleep just to gain the slightest bit more time for yourself is something that feels almost essential to keeping yourself together and not feeling like you're losing yourself in the cycle completely. it's like its own little act of rebellion in a way, something along the lines of you can drown me in work and monotony but I'll keep carving these little spaces of time for what little I have for myself, even if I have to carve them out of my own chest. I will sacrifice parts of myself to ensure that I don't fully succumb to whatever you're trying to make me into. I am human, this is the proof, I will make time even if it ruins me. you know?? yeah. you get it

[3-aem]

chill tf out i was just giving an advice, you have no right to treat random ppl like that, especially when i was just trying to help. you’re a proper asshole, hope ppl realize that

who tf asked for it though

here i’ll spell it out for you since you clearly don’t understand and id like you comprehend why you giving unsolicited advice is broadly seen as entitled and a dick move by the entire creator community online: we are not an art critique circle

if your criticism ever hurts someone and stops them from wanting to draw you failed as a critiquer. your criticism wasn’t constructive it was destructive. and the chances of this happening on the internet is High.

point blank: you don’t know if someone is doing drawing something someway because they like it or not. and you voicing your opinion is thus not ‘helping’ as you so very much want to believe, it’s entitlement to think you know better.

people draw and post on here to get away from real world where critiques from ur boss or ur colleagues actually matter.

there are times where creators solicit advice or suggestions. give them there.

See, regardless the intention with the new Nosferatu what I see over and over especially on Twitter with -no joke- over 400,000 likes are posts about how all this happened because Thomas was way too invested in getting a promoyion instead of staying home and fucking his wife

I mean, it's hard to have sex with your wife if you don't have a home. just saying.

Really, though, the victim blaming going on with these takes makes me so frustrated. Even IF we ignore that Orlok already knows Ellen and feels entitled to her, even IF we ignore that he is doggedly determined (now that she's married to someone else) to show up and reclaim her for good - Thomas. Had. No. Choice.

Not to rant at you, anon, just using your ask to go off on this narrative.

The thing is - Thomas is already in debt at the start. That it's to his friend doesn't matter to Thomas. Honestly it might make the debt seem even worse. He is indebted to Harding financially, he and Ellen are not off to the most secure start, he's already been away for a while due to the honeymoon - this actually is vitally important for them. He needs his job. He was already late - if he hadn't been so late or hadn't realized it, he likely would have stayed home longer. But he couldn't. Then when he's offered this big, lucrative deal, he can't refuse it. Knock commenting about 'if you close this sale, you're job is guaranteed' isn't just tempting him with success, it's also threatening him with failure.

What happens if Ellen relapses and they're destitute? What happens if Ellen is having her seizures again, the sleepwalking, the melancholy, what if it gets worse? Ellen of course is still in the sweet honeymoon phase and thinks that love will be enough to stave those things off because so far Thomas' mere presence and affection has worked. But the thing is, that high is going to come back down. It happens in even the most wholesome and genuine of relationships, and stress - especially financial stress - will not do them any favors. Will not do her and her mental health and her attempts to keep her bond with Orlok suppressed any good whatsoever. I mean, that's basically what is happening in the film. The more they struggle financially, the more desperate things get, the greater the fissures and cracks that form in their marriage, giving Orlok more opportunity to come in and use it against them. Which is quite literally what he does. Thomas staying home, refusing the job, etc., only changes the how and when.

Ellen doesn't quite get it because based on what we know of her background and her father, she's never struggled to make ends meet, she's struggled with wealth and status being used against her. Of course she comes at this from the angle of 'being in a wealthy household didn't protect me', which Thomas can't understand. Neither can Ellen understand Thomas' perspective of being in debt to someone, worrying about failing to provide. I don't think it's simply that Thomas wants to make Ellen comfortable and have a life like she used to - he quite literally is worried that he cannot provide for her at all, especially if she gets sick (mentally or physically).

Like, Thomas in the 2024 movie isn't solely and completely driven by financial success - if you contrast him in the film with how Eggers originally wrote him in the 2016 script or how he's portrayed in the 2023 remake, this Thomas comes across to be more of the mindset that 'having financial success and being of similar standing to Ellen and Friedrich will make everything fine and I will be good enough to deserve her love and his friendship.' The driving factors are really that Thomas a) wants everything to be will for him and Ellen and b) wants to live up to the rigid societal standards of his gender. He's insecure, and he's overcompensating. Which isn't great but is a relatively normal character flaw, and certainly isn't one that is so inherently damning. His love and concern for Ellen still factor into things. He's not turning into a money-obsessed, toxic masculinity-minded asshole or something of the sort. That's why as soon as he's no longer naive to this darkness in the world - the things that Ellen has known of all along - his motivation shifts entirely to protecting Ellen. He understands now that unfortunately, in this rigged, supernatural game they're all trapped in, money means nothing. Money can't save Harding and his family, it certainly won't save Thomas and Ellen. But even IF he had known that all along - it wouldn't have made a difference.

Thomas and Ellen still need to live, Thomas would have to leave for work, and would have to take that job that sends him over to Transylvania. And if somehow they could circumvent that? Orlok still would find a way to separate them. Orlok would still come to Wisburg. Thomas is not the hero in this story, he's the damsel in distress, and unfortunately for him, while he gets to make it out alive, the actual hero who saves the day does not. Thomas loses his wife, but that is not his fault. It's not his fault he got assaulted, traumatized, left for dead, and it's not his fault he couldn't save Ellen. It's not his fault she died.

Ellen was doomed long before she met him, and that wasn't her fault, either.

anyway, all this to say - I'm glad I'm not on twitter. I'm glad I can block people with these takes.

hey folks who interact with creative works online! just a tiny PSA

If you don't like a character, that's totally fine! If you have a different reading of a situation in a show & have issues with stuff that's going on, that's also fine.

What is NOT fine is to ACTIVELY SEEK OUT fans of the characters you don't like and talk shit about them, the characters they have feelings about, or the content they've posted b/c you, Freddy McHatesalot really needs to tell everyone how much you dislike a...fictional character.

You are totally welcome to consume content in your own space in whatever way you see fit. It is disrespectful of the fandom space to try to drag other people into your space and interact with you if they don't want to. And dunking on a character in writings or art of them is fucking rude as hell to the person who put work into into the creation they made out of some feelings they were having.

Also. side note, it is possible to enjoy a character who is Wrong About Some Things or Isn't Doing The Right Stuff In The Right Situation. Sometimes it's possible to like a character and disagree with them, and shitting on people b/c you can't see what they see in a character is pretty trash garbage and is 90% of why I just make silly little art for me and my own silly feels and hope folks get a chuckle or some enjoyment out of it too.

I felt like drawing a rabid dog today. No reason. *Whistles.* A meme to spread around, or to be used for protest posters. This is the 8.5 x 11 (inch) JPEG version so I could post it online. I do have it worked up in vector, so larger sizes upon request. (I don't know quite how to do Google Docs and don't want to give anyone access to anything private, but I can make a larger JPEG or PNG version to post. Description of Images - A vector / flat image of a tan dog (meant to at least somewhat resemble a Shiba Inu) in profile with an evil red eye, snarling face and bubbling foam coming out of his mouth. The top image reads in ERAS-font "DOGE IS FAKE!!!" at top and "DOGE IS RABID!!!" at bottom. The bottom image has the same, but with the addition, in smaller Arial font of "(Rabies DOGE has Rabies!)" in the style of old early 2000s Internet memes. No fucking AI-generation here, just my hand, my tablet and Corel. ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY free to use! No credit needed or wanted on this one, it's protest-art. Meme it all over the place like glitter or herpes. Reblog, repost, I don't care! Let's glitter up our collective carpet!

Something I’m so excited for with Sunrise on The Reaping is that we will finally be freed from the shackles of mainstream Hayffie domination. Probably.

(This is lighthearted please take it as such)

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc
