I remembered a Cosplay Magical Girl video game's demo was still installed so I decided to see if I could recreate some costumes in it.

Aika, Eclipse, and Lady DeVoid are from "I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" by @kianamaiart

I wasn't expecting anything absolutely exact, but I'm surprised at how close I could manage it with Aika and Eclipse. RIP DeVoid, the skirt options didn't extend to Evil Villainess design schemes.

#magical girl #idwtbamg fanart #cosplay club (game)#I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl #avatar maker #character generator #also aika was originally attempt to recreate a different magical girl but I discovered what I could do with the decorative pieces #forgot to restart but did with eclipse and devoid #still my favorite in terms of how close she came (costume)

Something that really sets Wille and Simon apart from other queer ships is that when we say their love language is physical touch, IT REALLY IS PHYSICAL TOUCH. And I’m not speaking of just sex. Over the course of the show, the amount of touching between them is astronomical. And that’s really something rarely seen in queer media. There may be moments here or there, but often times there’s a lack of physical contact unless it’s for “the plot”. Wille and Simon feel like a real couple in the way they’re always physically reaching out for each other.

#wilmon #young royals #OH ALSO #wtfock #sobbe #cuz they def belong in this category too #constant touching between them #but you don’t get it with most queer ships and idk if it’s just bc production is afraid of it being ‘too much’ or what #but it’s annoying #and frustrating #just something I’ve been pondering on recently #tv has come a long way in terms of representation #but it still feels like there’s almost a FEAR of too much affection between queer pairings #it’s seen more with mlm than wlw cuz I think they’re like oh well women are more physically affectionate in general even with friends #but damn like #I mean I’m a woman and bisexual so obv I have a lot of queer friends #and a couple of my besties are gay men who have been married for years #fun thing they live right next door to my parents lol #and I’ve known one half (michael) since I was 16 and he was 14 lol my friend jen actually had a big crush on him #and I was like GIRL #BUT ANYWAY #he and rick have been married for many years and they’re SO AFFECTIONATE in a casual way that you would be with a partner #just touches here and there on the shoulder or hand hold or kisses like???#obviously they aren’t the only gay couple I know but I’m around them so much so they are a good example #Lol this got weirdly personal but the point is that we don’t see that shit in queer media #at least not enough of it it’s like producers/writers are afraid of ‘too much’#so they give not enough #ANYWAYYYY rant over!!!

"Haven't you noticed that we often bargain with poor people, like street vendors and auto drivers, but rarely negotiate prices with wealthy individuals or businesses that make significant profits every year? It's time to change this system and reconsider our approach to bargaining and fair pricing."

I love Steph's origin as told in the Secret Origins 80 page giant- I just overall think it strengthens her character by giving her a lot of pathos and adding to her heroism (which isn't something writers were focused on in her actual intro in detective comics #647 since she was just meant to act as a plot device back then) BUT there is one tiny detail in it i will begrudge, and that is the portrayal of her having a minor love at first sight moment for tim

Secret origins 80 page giant, ID in alt

(or well, technically this was their second meeting in that story (the brick was the first) so...love at second sight?)

Mostly because Stephanie showed no interest in her introduction and only showed romantic feelings towards Tim AFTER this moment here:

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Straight up the progression here goes:

The adventure in 'tec where they first meet -> Tim investigating the same crime scene as Steph -> she beats him up not knowing it's him at first, apologizes but says he shouldn't have scared her -> he remembers her/the moniker she goes by -> they talk about plot for a few pages -> Stephanie starts flirting

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Which...is so fascinating to me and says so much about Stephanie. She highlights the fact that Tim "remembered" her. Like. Steph. Girl. This is our bar? It's sweet but kind of speaks to how much Stephanie is ignored at home/how little and sporadically she's shown interacting with her peers (and rarely ever the same kids twice). Her idea of peak romance is just...being on someone's mind even when you're not there.

Kind of also adds layers to Steph's proclivity towards jealousy later on, a manifestation of her insecurity and loneliness (though don't get it twisted, she's not written this way bc Dixon and co think it's an interesting character flaw, they wrote it bc they think it's an inherent character flaw of (particularly young) women/girls, which is very apparent in how he approaches Ariana's character as well from what I've read)

Also the fact that Steph becomes so smitten for Tim almost immediately after this is (a few issues later she aggressively flirts with him during AN ACTIVE HOSTAGE SITUATION. WHERE SHE'S THE HOSTAGE) again is kind of a mixture of kind of funny and sad. One boy is nice to her once and she's fully ready to wife him. Girl you are deranged (affectionate) (concerned)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephanie brown #tim drake #timsteph #meta #< ??? ig #robin 1993 #made this post and forgot to finish. saved it in drafts. saw posts that annoyed me. proceeded to finish it #the subset of fans who think they're doing a righteous feminism by giving steph more flaws than she has in canon...headaches #yes flawed female characters are important representation no i dont think you projecting chuck dixons conservative values onto her-#-is doing her character a great favour. if so you need to commit to the bit and make tim a stone cold nark /j #sorry okay im done vaguing. there's real things going on in the world that matter. the bad take is the mind killer etc etc #anyway the zero to 100 progression of early timsteph is fascinating. on the one hand i know it's mostly a product of its time #both in terms of portrayals of romance (esp teen romance) and partially of women and girls by dixon (not extremely boy obsessed-#-but there's a. dark shadow of the boy crazy trope. a gentle whiff of it in the air. just a little)#but bc this aspect isn't blatantly/egregiously author bias i choose to analyse it #i could also analyse how steph in general is portrayed as liking guys she can't/shouldn't have a little #(her crush on the much older detective in bg2009 and also tim a little bit w/ the secret identity thing)#(but that's a whole other discussion. also that aspect of the romance in bg2009 is. also a little sexistly motivated-#-and also dropped part way through to an extent so like..not exactly ripe for analysis)#ANYWHO i love you Steph <3 you're unwell and yet so adorable and compelling Steph <3

thinking about this post but also it's more than that. do you ever think about how stories starring men are allowed to be about humanity but stories starring women have to be about Womanhood

#it's just the same discourse from like the 2010s about how girls will read about boys but boys won't read about girls #and we haven't gotten anywhere #even when it's like in a feminist way!!! there's room for stories about Womanhood obviously #but believe it or not ''women'' is not the only significant trait or experience that that half of the population has #and frankly I think it's counterproductive to focus every woman-centric narrative on the Woman aspect in some kind of feminism way #especially I feel like in adaptations that get a more hashtag feminism focus! like that story was about a person that was a woman #and you made it into a story about Women. which. ok #but was it not enough for her to just be a human being #experiencing human experiences that perhaps men could relate to #but a story with a male main character is allowed to exist on its own terms #no one's like. okay the main theme of this is obviously something to do with masculinity #(unless that's actually true)#a man is still the default character to explore your ideas and adding the ''girl'' trait is seen as like this extra distortion #that you would add only if you wanted to explore Womenness #like everyone's putting a guy in situations but hey maybe your guy could be a woman #even if the specific situation doesn't call for it #did you ever think of that?#and a lot of it I think is because men are conditioned not to relate to female characters #so making a male character would work to expand your audience because female readers are still willing to invest in him but not vice versa #but that doesn't mean we should just keep perpetuating the cycle #and only making stories about women specifically for women about Womanhood #that's just cementing the problem even further #obviously this is all a generalization and there are exceptions #this also applies to things like race #like in the US if you're making a story with a nonwhite main character suddenly it has to be like About Race or something

I think Marcille's reactions to Falin presenting more masculine are really interesting when you look at them through a lens of elven concepts of gender and we shouldn't have to ignore them in farcille and Butch Falin readings.

#dungeon meshi #farcille #this was originally gonna be a longer post #but basically marcille generally reads as someone very much struggling to come to terms with her attraction to women #and then you add on the layer of elves on the whole skewing towards feminine presentation #like otta being the butchest a girl can be before the elves get scared #and marcille finding laios shockingly masculine on first meeting #i wonder if that doesn't add on an extra layer of challenging her idea of what a woman can even BE #let alone a woman she's attracted to #i'm saying marcille has a lot of hurdles to contend with regarding how she sees falin and how it affects her attraction towards her #i think it's compelling

i know i'm the johto hating mutual but god i'm appreciating all of the little improvements added in gen 2 so much already

#bwark #nicer environents (for the gbc at least) better pokemon sprites actual colour an exp bar girl protag pokemon animations #and ofc stuff ive yet to get to like the dark and steel type additions #ive said before but despite being a hater for gen 2 and johto in general i genuinely think that crystal is like. peak in terms of the art #there's something so charming about the gen 2 sprites for the pokemon to me #like it's before they started becoming more detailed in gen 3 but aren't butt ugly like they were in gen 1 #anyway i started with chikorita because it's my fav johto starter :3 if you hate chikorita then literally skill issue

I actually find gender swapping characters really interesting (what part of their expression is dictated by gender norms vs certain events in their life vs their personal preferences that wouldn't change either way, etc.) so now I wanna draw what that would look like in my ocs except I am in pain rn so I'm forced to just lie there and be plagued by visions

#ok but #the thing with north is that when he ran away he cut off his hair and started wearing masculine clothing to hide his identity and went “wait #this actually feels right wtf“#but i dont think he really did anything with his appearance prior to that. he kinda was just existing not really thinking about himself #he was really only focused on protecting and caring for saffron #so a gender swapped version wouldnt be much different pre-running away #not bothering about cutting hair + the cultists' robes look very similar in both feminine and masculine versions #so fem north would still have short hair to make her appearance less recognizable #just would wear dresses and stuff #saffron though. i think she presents herself more in accordance with gender norms #so gender swapped saffron would always have short hair + more masculine looking clothing #but i think her mannerisms and behavior would stay the same. also her general frame #like yes she in part dresses and looks this way because thats whats expected of her + thats how she was raised by The Lady but a lot of it #esp in terms of her personality is Just Her. this would stay the same #warren doesnt give a shit. he doesnt have much gender to begin with. no gender only swag #so he would look almost exactly the same just with less facial hair probably #The Lady would very much be different. like instead of graceful threatening elegant old-ish woman with Big Hair and Big Dress #shed have short hair same level of elegance but masculine clothes probably facial hair too. like one of them small sharp beards yk #the restaurant owner (still dont have a name for her) wouldnt change almost at all as well. shes very much function/comfort over style #her clothes are already masculine n she has short hair both for convenience #shed straight up look the same just with a stubble or smth #there are a couple other characters in this story i have thoughts on but i havent introduced/developed them properly yet #pjsk ocs though ! ive been thinking abt them again #matsu is pretty feminine and it does play a role in a “part of why ppl think hes weird” kinda way #so as a girl hed be more masc presenting #i dont think fumi would really change at all. she also dresses mainly for convenience but i do think she does have a little regard for #for gender norms. but like. barely any. so maximum changes would be those ponytail parts of her hair getting like. a tiny bit shorter #toshiro would stay the EXACT same. he does his own thing #seina dresses that way bc shes expected to but also thats just genuinely how she is. so swapped shed still have longer hair n feminine #demeanor but wear pants or smth. im hitting tag limit help. cries

crying whenever i talk about Cookie9 because all my friends have these interesting and unique theories on them while i take everything too literally and they all just stare at me like “dude… uuugh we r TIRED” <-they dont actually say this they are very kind to me but i can Feel It

#my version of them is centered around their blog version with the ‘personality’ of their steam review and like a bunch of HC #i developed them with the implication that they’re Real but i’m a bit iffy on it #because all my friends have theories about how they’re from the narrator’s consciousness which is sick as hell #and i’m unsure how to actually structure everything or if i should go the same route so i can get approval from them </3 #my friends r the real reviewer fans even though they dont plague themselves over them every day and im so sad that i don’t know anythinggg #gggggggggggg #like im p sure they genuinely hate the stuff i make about cookie9 and im just. scrumbles myself. sorry im Trying :( i’m not smart #or good at writing or even media literate #whatever that term means #all i have is love in my heart for them i don’t know anything at all #ouhghghhg they hate It so much but i cant do anything else and it’s all i have #like all my cookie9 stuff works on the ‘what if their blog self Was Real’ but i’m not actually sure how to fit it all into my actual parabl #stuff because i still havent worked out how my parable itself works #and people probably don’t think i know enough and i don’t think they’ll approve if i try. so i Don’t #tempted to blame this on my like. general crushing lack of intelligence caused by both physical and mental reasons #but i want to believe i could do better if i try? but that’s incredibly hopeful #i’ll be stuck here forever i think #<-guy who. whenever Anything wrong happens ever. just goes back to ‘oh yeah its because im dumb as fuckign rocks. due to the Incidents’#i am very scared of the possibility that it is possible for me to be anything more because that implies that i’m stupid because i didnt try #even though i’m trying very very fucking hard and every time i get something wrong way more than anyone else i’ve ever known #and they hate me for it . MAN!!!!!!!!!#<-brain is lying 2 me i think nobody hates me or . whatever. it still feels like it though im just saying this because i dont want anyone t #think people genuinely hate me for being stupid. i mean. people DO. but not my friends ☝️#man i can’t even get into the buglivia crap either because she is so abstracted from her actual review #girl w identity issues and also the general normal Changing A Lot Through Time. i scrumble her. around #her Self during 2018 would in fact be in character for the review.i want to draw her during that time. she took everything so seriously </3 #tbh my version of her does react well to TSP humor but at the time she felt like she wasn’t allowed 2 Do Her Thing and tried to seem #more professional and Normal and it seeped into EVERYTHING for a bit #cookie9 though just genuinely found the narrator annoying and patronizing. its just not his thing and thats fine #<-random nonsensechemical reviewer bits hidden inside the vents.

genuine question for my fellow trans people:

when you talk about or refer to your younger self, how do you do it? i’m transmasc and personally i kinda alternate between calling my younger self a girl or a kid.

this is for something i’m writing, and i’m really curious to hear some other opinions/perspectives.

#the character im writing is a trans woman so i would love to hear some perspectives/opinions from anyone willing to share #or other binary trans people #as someone who is nb i kinda go back and forth about how i like to be called #i dont mind if certain people called me a girl now #but wouldnt like it if just Anyone called me a girl. if that makes sense #and in general i do prefer more ‘masculine’ terms for myself #but i was wondering how others may feel about it especially irt your younger self vs now #also i am literally in bed to go to sleep so i won’t be responding right away mdksjjf #personal

mukuro and "i want someone i can protect" syndrome.

#musings #dr haruhi crossover #but also yeah this can go in the general tags #danganronpa #mukuro ikusaba #mukuro is not the 'strong girl who wants someone she can be weak with' trope #mukuro is the 'protective with her loved ones' trope #she is the 'mama bear' trope #but if we're talking romantic interests or etc.#she doesn't want someone /she/ can be weak with and who can protect her #she's the opposite #she wants someone who feels save enough around her to be weak #and let her protect them and fight on their behalf #junko doesn't /need/ mukuro to fight for her; not with her ultimate analysis #dr0 proves EVEN WITHOUT HER MEMORIES AND WITH SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS that junko CAN take down certain threats #(she can be overpowered and then she needs help that's not the point)#junko CHOOSES to let mukuro protect her #because that's what MUKURO wants #mukuro wants to be the older sister who takes care of her baby sister #(and every time she does she has to remember the time that she didn't)#a n y w a y

it’s that time of the day, sleepy loopy time 🔥‼️

before my brain and thoughts fully leave, i js wanna say

why are the girls at my school so so so SO much prettier than the guys? like. the guys look so basic. i’m sorry dude, but almost all of them are sooo basic. too many edgars…. so many guys wearin’ the same kinda outfits.. same hairdos…... like probably only a few guys are pretty. there are definitely more pretty girls than pretty boys here.

girls are beautiful. they’re so pretty. so majestic. oh my gosh.

GUYS I THOUGHT I WAS GAY…

i’m still aroace dw. (ttms)

___

#general #cve goes crazy #almost sleepy loopy time for my brain ‼️#(ttms) = talking to myself #i’m aroace #demiromantic #aegosexual #both of those to be specific #girls are so pretty #they’re so badass #like holy damn #also thank you ajax for introducing the term “aegosexual” because it summed it up for me and i’m happy i have a good label now #an accurate label #yippie
