Been working on some first run Chou sprites for funsies, here’s a handful of the ones I’ve done so far

this is how he fake-flirts ... it doesn't. work [🇺🇸 x 🇧🇾]

i think their relationship is based on mutual attraction, revulsion, and self-deceit. america is convincing himself that "winning" belarus' affections will be easy and that he's just in it to spite russia, meanwhile she's playing pseudo-flirtatious passive aggressive mind games with him on a level beyond comprehension.

it gets really uncomfortable for both of them really fast and so he kicks her out. ^^

Constantly constantly *constantly* thinking about how Leo's portals get weaker as the curse gets worse, until finally during the attempted murder they just. Stop working. The power of Family connection failing.

when mikey accidentally gets portaled into the ocean and donnie fails to catch him ... leo isn't even blamed a little for it. it's a mistake they can all shrug off because they know he didn't mean to. but donnie still has to be cornered and shouted at and told off for one of the same magnitude. it's one of those things that really exemplifies this idea that cc!don has that there will always be a double standard, and that making mistakes is a lot more dangerous when it's him (that and "hitting" mikey after the closet, because they hit him several times after. there's a reason he never fights back.)

not to project like a motherfucker on natalie berzatto but ohhhh boy the impact of a narrative that says “hey, is your desire to make sure everybody around you is okay also about you? and could that perhaps be partially a maladaptive trauma response you should look into and maybe mitigate? because if it’s a genuine question that’s fine, but if the only answer you will respond well to hearing is yes that’s a You Issue Too, Babe”

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

[pollutedhills]

now that i think about it why have i set unreasonably high expectations for myself

[langdonmels]

"Colin should have grovelled more!" "Penelope folded too easily” I see this a lot and don’t agree I loved she got to tell him how hearing that made her feel and receive a true apology not just a bunch of excuses.

That being said the one thing I hated was him telling her she entrapped him. Ugh I know he was hurt but that just enraged me and broke my heart for her. Because he used her mother’s words to hurt him and she had been venerable telling him how long she had loved him. I know it was bad writing but it made me sad to see her just take it.

gonna be real with you anon - that line was actually one instance of GOOD writing, actually acknowledging colin's perspective and journey, and frankly, i wouldn't have minded if he had gone harder (and she in return!)

my biggest gripe of the season is that most of colin's inner revelations in part 2 - a very internal, emotional journey - were never shown to us but told to us after the fact. i wish we had more of his journals or conversations with characters that weren't cressida in the middle of a blackmail scheme (violet! or even penelope herself!) because him verbalizing that emotional journey would have worked better than just seeing him post-realization.

but i'm gonna be real, everything colin said or did in part 2 makes absolute sense TO ME (especially when you pull internal dialogue from RMB) so yeah... idgaf abou the entrapment line.

ooc: Woke up with So Many Thoughts on the Fifteenth Doctor… and I am TRULY at war with myself about whether or not I wanna wade into fandom discourse…

I don’t…

But WOW, what a fascinating and beautiful knot the production team has created for themselves…

I have a lot of older conservative relatives, most of them are surprisingly sympathetic towards Luigi (though a lot of it has to do with him being a handsome white man, rather than any appreciation for his supposed bravery.)

They’ve suffered decades of denied claims, and have lived long enough to realise that there is no peaceful way to fight back at the system. Regular people have no legal recourse to seek justice when we’re screwed over. Most of us are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. The American healthcare system is so skewed, so evil, I don’t quite know how to express it to someone who hasn’t experienced it first-hand.

And yet, “murder is bad” is so deeply ingrained in them that they think he deserves some sort of punishment. They don’t want him to go away for life, but they’re also too stupid to realise that the chance to “reasonably” punish him ended back in December. He needs us Americans to disregard the evidence shown to us in court, to display some collective moral intelligence for once, to do the right thing even when it’s the antithesis of the law. We have to vote Not Guilty even if they show is a goddamn Livestream of Luigi doing it.

Unfortunately Americans as a collective voted for this disaster. And the disaster is much bigger than what’s happening to Luigi. Look at the state of the country. I’ve been asking every older conservative I know, and they genuinely want him to “do a few years” not realising that few years is not an option. They simply cannot justify letting a killer walk free, no matter how justified the crime. These idiots don’t understand how it works. They don’t know that it’s all or nothing. If we don’t save him, he’s going to meet a fate much darker than Brian Thompson did.

I will tell you this, the hardcore MAGAs want him to fry. There are people who vote red because they’re genuinely conservative, and there he has some chance, but the ones who vote conservative out of malice? They want him tortured and executed in public. I am scared of those people making it on to his jury. I am counting on Karen’s ability to spot these rotten pigs and get them kicked off…it’s my only hope.

i hope americans (and brainwashed white people in general) learn a few things very soon –

non-violence does not work, and sometimes violence is the only answer and it is absolutely right, and

privileged people like them have forgotten this lesson because people of colour have suffered at their hands and have ingrained that lesson in their blood while they looked away and this included people losing their life to the death penalty too.

(click on the underlined portions, they're linked to posts that are relevant to what i mentioned)

also I know you said it is very hard to make those people sympathise with Luigi and they're really very idiotic but maybe trying to make them understand would help?? by telling them exactly what is at stake?? surely they're not rooting for a person like Luigi to be killed by the death penalty or to be deprived of every shred of life in LWOP?? maybe reasoning with them would help?? i don't know if it would but i genuinely hope it does.

i've had basically this exact conversation a few times and there are more asks currently waiting in my inbox talking about this, and i think Luigi's only hope of walking lies in KFA's capability of enforcing voir dire to make sure that he gets a female majority jury, with most people being people of colour. i cannot frankly see any hope otherwise.

i just don't see the urge to protect your kids at all costs as a) inherent to all parents or b) necessarily admirable even if it is present. it CAN be absolutely admirable if it drives the parent to be a better person or to support their children's wellbeing in genuine ways. it can also lead to parents being abusive and controlling because of their urge to "protect!" it's actions that matter, not emotions or the lack thereof

[thebluebygracieabrams]

can someone tell me how to keep going if your hardwork does pay off but you don't feel anything when you achieve your goal just relief and numb again

Ok and on that while I do think having the Option to switch ryan and kaitlyn in chapter 7 would have made a more interesting game, I do value time with the bestie and dylan/kaitlyn bonding time was the best part of the game imo
