thoughts on jjk 270, unfiltered for your reading pleasure

honestly the whole chapter feels like a disservice to megumi. i know i say that all the time, and maybe i'm just too jaded, maybe i'm wearing favorite character goggles idk, but as a whole i think this chapter was just. not good so if i wanna talk about it with regards to the Favorite Character, i will

my first thought seeing megumi at tsumiki's grave was that gege was gonna finally give a proper moment where he could grieve and reach some kind of closure, maybe get some of the overdue development he's earned. like to me there's nothing better than when the emotionally reserved character breaks down, and this would have been the perfect moment. i feel like so much of megumi's character has been built around his relationship to tsumiki, and the past 60 chapters-ish have been building up to this moment where megumi can properly grieve and maybe express some kind of remorse to tsumiki for being a bit of a brat when he was younger, but he never gets that. instead, we get this really stale and emotionless ending for their relationship, and for megumi's character as a whole. like idk, this whole time he's wanted to be able to apologize to tsumiki and make it up to her after everything she did for him, and he never even gets a moment to mourn. i hate that for him.

next. why am i getting more emotionally satisfying endings for side characters that i literally dgaf abt than for main characters like megumi, yuuta, gojo (i'll stand by the fact that i think he should have died, but like show people mourning him damn), nobara, YUUJI?????? idk like wtf is going on here. to me there is no reason to get a more satisfying ending for that middle school friend of yuuji's who was relevant for like two pages before i get a satisfying end for the literal deuteragonist of the story

then there's the whole thing w hana. i'm not even saything this from a shipping standpoint, but it's frustrating to me that megumi gets to reach some kind of peace w hana and have a good conversation with her before he talks to itadori, the person who's been by his side this whole time, the person who appreciates him for who he is and not their idealized version of him, the person who he decided to live for, the person who arguably means the most in his life right now. he doesn't get to exchange a serious heart to heart with him, but he gets to have a shallow surface level interaction with hana? idk i just feel like it reduces his character to something very superficial and i hate to see it.

and maybe i'm just dumb but i don't get like. any of these new plot points that have been introduced, but honestly, i don't care to understand. it seems like gege is in fact trying to set up a second part to jjk and im just so annoyed by that, because we get this rushed ending where nothing reaches proper fruition so he can introduce these new plots? like idk, somehow that pisses me off more than if he just fumbled the ending, but i hold that thought until we know for sure that he's making a second part.

this was supposed to be more general, but i got carried away w my thoughts abt how bad megumi's ending was fumbled. anyway. yeah canon doesn't exist to me past 268 :D

its kind of funny to me that in the comics supergirl kind of occupies the spot for like the edgy superman. which is kind of weird for her typical role as kid sidekick to superman because her thing as a character (at least the versions of her character that i like) is that she doesn't have a reason to help anybody and doesn't like earth. edgy superman. but she's also the kid sidekick. strange juxtaposition

#it obviously depends on which comic you're reading #cause like there are completely different versions of supergirl depending on which version we're talking about #there's like 3 different supergirls with 5 different backstories #there's the one where she's a kind of slime goop that mimics the form of a girl--that was matrix #that was the version from the 80s that continued into the 90s--the weird run that had like angels and demons and stuff #god that one was weird #then there was the main one which is kara zor el but she has like 3 different backstories on her own #there's the argo city one which is truly horrible where like she watches thousands of people die in front of her #that one was most recently used in the supergirl woman of tomorrow comic written by the vile tom king at least as far as i'm aware #then there was the pod version (the more popular one) which has two variations on its own #variation one was that she's actually older than superman but got stuck in suspended animation for like 25 years #and variation two where she's just younger than him and i don't know how that works #of course the argo backstory is also the pod backstory they're not incompatible #it does beg the question of which you think is more tragic:#waking up one day to find out everyone you ever knew is dead and gone or watching them all die slowly in front of you #anyway the third super girl is power girl who is super girl except older so she's power girl because they didn't do a 2 spider man thing #this is easy to follow right #oh right and apparently they made a completely new backstory for her in my adventures with superman though i never watched that #because i still have to finish the supergirl cw show which is ANOTHER version of her character where she's 24 instead of a teenager #which sounds like a small thing but it literally turns her into a completely different character #i mean like powergirl is a completely different character isnt she #what was i talking about? right i kind of liked new 52 supergirl at least the first few issues #i really liked the disorientation of “where am i who are these people where's my family” she goes through #shame it kind of sucked #i'm probably not going to finish the CW show by the way. i'll probably give up halfway through season 3 if we're being optimistic

Hunter's Drawings

I wish I had a better screenshot of the ones hanging on the wall in the last picture but they really don't get shown very well.

#yes I am saying he drew the stuff on his cast himself - fucking look at it #metal lords #hunter sylvester #metallords #metal lords hunter #I find these all very endearing btw #tag rambles #the mental image of him just doodling away and liking it enough to put it on his wall is just- idk that's adorable to me #not like I don't have my own drawings on the wall but like #it's a slightly quieter side of him than he puts forward throughout most of the movie - yaknow?#there is stuff you can interpret about his character if you include these kind of things I mean maybe I -overdo it- but there's stuff there #he's not that flat of a character imo #but maybe I'm too stuck in my own hcs and characterization and projection #also when I call him adorable please know it's in a “looking at a slightly younger version of yourself without hatred for once” kind of way #and very much not attraction #I relate to him too much I just couldn't #my post

im sorry my opinion on genderbends changes every seconddddd i just think there's a difference between liiike for example gay girls drawing male characters fem for fun / yuri reasons, or trans ppl having fun w characters in a not weird way, VS (mostly cis) ppl getting up to well cisgender situations because they're crazy and are just drawing random women or men (8 or V) with 2 identifying characteristics slapped on and they look NOTHING like the actual character (or take into account how they COULD look different and aren't doing that either, like how a hyperfeminine chara who is that way bc she likes feeling pretty would still be a pretty boy. etc.)...

you can sniff out transphobia/weird gender shit/blatant homophobia in some people is all. i think it's also helpful im not exposed to annoying genderbends lately they've been fun or cool for fun reasons and not weird reasons like erm doing gender essentialism 😀

#🐾#also the secondary aspect of how it's just a complicated trans hc for ... a lot of this stuff LOL #like it's not and im not saying everyone and their mother should be doing trans hcs but if you're going hmm #i want to see this character as another gender WELL i have news for you. It can happen. teehee #anyway. i would probably draw fem versions of male charas for my friends or oomfies if i felt so inclined but i tend to prefer just making #boys wear cute outfits and such i don't really care ... average he/she transmasc my apologies #put this bralette on NOW !!!!!#anyway i think ppl should also take into account certain things too #like i'm never going to draw or engage w fem reigen art ever. literally ever. bc of the transmisogyny in the series w him #and i see people way too comfortable being like actually it's Cool now like no ....#also by fem i mean like female not just feminine. w all of this. bc those r different obvioisly ...#also none of this applies to drawing ACTUAL trans hcs like i love trans hcs obviously and they're totally different / cooler in every way #anyway. my next day thoughts are also it's mostly just a fun character design thing it's chilllll it's googling Rainbow dash as a Boy #when you're 12 and going AHHHHH #i also cannot wholeheartedly hate the entir concept of genderbends bc like i've revealed before #crossplaying as the fem version of male characters when i was younger is what made me realise i was even trans #(though that was bc i was like why am i being the fem version -> i should just be the male version -> unlocks gender euphoria)#but i get being sick and tired of them and i am too just the weird annoying ones #though even then u can tell when it's an adult doing it for cishet reasons and a 14 year old girl who wants her fav to be a girl too

every time I draw an OC I’ve had since I was a child I think of how broken my younger self’s drawings were and how perseverance and the sheer force of obsession kept me drawing ;;;;

and I look at drawings of the same OCs from when I was like 13 and then I look at the way I can draw them now and I’m just;;; filled with a fondness for my younger self for sticking at it bc it’s entirely bc they didn’t just ragequit and give up when something looked bad that I can draw any better at all;;

I would love to jump through time and show them Aoki or my mewsona and be like “look you’ll get to properly draw digitally eventually! You’ll get better at so much of what frustrates you now! Look! This is like this because of you!” Progress can take a long time so it can feel disheartening when you’re stuck struggling trying to get a thing to work. The payoff happens gradually and you only realise how far you’ve come once you stop looking at where you’re struggling now and look back at where you struggled before and see the growth that happened without you noticing

I guess I sometimes have to remember that more. That what I struggle with now may be something I struggle less with in the future if I keep at it. That one day I might look back at where I am now and think boy have I grown since then. I hope so!;;;

#Also I love seeing younger me’s versions of those OCs bc the evolution is fun to see #like with Aoki the design shifted drastically in the very first months of their existence #but once they solidified I’ve pretty much never changed it since like 2009 or whatever ;;#I mean all of the above is true of canon characters I drew obsessively too of course but like #there’s something about OCs and the fact they came from your head that adds to it #bc you’re feeling your way around a design that you’re also still coming up with and adjusting #Even now with my current OCs I’m still figuring them out and it’s just a lot of fun

I'm treating the adults of BBC Merlin like the marauders fandom treat the harry potter adults

For context: i have a whole story for them in my head and I'm slowly writing it :))) (i really don't need more unfinished work but oh well)

i do think it’s funny that 911 was like yeah we’ll recast for a teen maddie but teen buck and eddie? uhhh let’s just. idk. do something with their hair???

#respectfully those are thirty year old men you can’t hide it from me #now i’m not necessarily complaining i just think they should’ve gone all in. let jlh play teen maddie #(tho i do love the casting for teen maddie and for kid buck)#911 #abby.txt #but also hm. the more the think about this the more i’m like. wait a second. wait a fuckinf second #bc like. maddie’s like eight years older than buck yeah? so when we saw her with young buck who was probably around 10-12 #(at least in the car scene he was def closer to the early teen years)#maddie would’ve been easily 18/19 which is roughly the age they let ryan play younger eddie #and i assume buck was like 19/20 when oliver played him in buck begins #is this sexism? letting men play younger versions of themselves but not women? or am i reading too much into it #*younger versions of their characters i mean

btw i decided to restart my undertale replay bc i wanted to play through in japanese (both the practice and out of curiosity) and. i gotta say the way they handled the fonts for sans and papyrus was not what i was expecting

#undertale #i don't know what i was expecting tbh #just. not that i guess?#i like it but it's a tad disorienting #and sometimes sans' dialogue is a bit hard to read #it's also somewhat jarring to me to have sans clearly being the older brother #my hc is he's actually the younger one #but it's kinda adorable regardless #also i really like how the japanese version has been using kanji so far #it feels very easy to subscribe to the ''chara does the flavor text'' hc imo #it would also make frisk seem young enough to struggle with kanji #but anything they hear or might be being read to them is in almost entirely in kana which is neat #although this theory would mean that chara refused to read them the signs in the colored switches puzzle....#also playing through while actively thinking about what the characters are saying is. interesting #like y'know how towards the end of the true pacifism route toriel scolds asgore for his inaction?#i just realized she does the same damn thing. she could've destroyed the exit to the ruins before frisk caught up to her #or before they even found the house or before they even fell into the underground at all #it's interesting #also now that i'm reading in a language i'm not as comfortable with. i've noticed...#it's REALLY frustrating when the game dialogue doesn't wait for you to finish reading it #like i do get it but yeesh

ok i like the old man cranky villager personality, but i really wish they hadn’t replaced the tough guy cranky villager personality with it because i liked those even more. they should have just introduced ‘old man’ and ‘old lady’ instead of just sorta turning cranky and snooty into those

#i need a text post tag #acnh #animal crossing #snooty's transformation isn't quite as jarring to me as cranky #but like ok sure you want them to be less mean. fine.#but i feel like you can do a tough guy kind of character without them being TOO verbally abusive. just have their verbal abuse be weakass #and i know that the japanese version wasn't originally as combative apparently but i refuse to believe every cranky villager #was designed to be Elderly #like for Dobie it works for me. but for Tank and Camofrog i'm like no i think you're supposed to be younger

What's ur favorite feature of obi wan

god man I can't say for sure. just look at him what's not to love

#I mean we all know I'm down to the narrative with him which always attracts me to a character the most but ewan has just always been hot #also his in this series in particular helped me out with something personally and that puts him top of the charts a GOAT #also now canon confirms he's the non-allosexual I've always imagined him to be and found great kinship with when I was younger #so there's that #idk don't make me pick a favorite he's just favorite embodied #especially ewan's version (clone wars and alec obi are good too but Ewan just IS to me. like that's my mans)

no cuz tristamp is literally so stunning studio orange just god

#mielmbles #dreamy sigh #i really loved how they decided to go more into the plants and like backstory and gosh i love how each version swaps and switches characters #and arcs around its so fun i love this like series ? so much its so cool #vash… meryl… honestly still did not care at all for roberto and this wolfwood too a bit longer to grow on me #but i still like really love the characters in this ZAZIE MORE FUCKING ZAZIE that was fun i love hiveminds sooooo much #elendira was like an interesting switch #sigh i do miss big muscles though… everyone was just buff as hell but yk i do enjoy the artstyle and designs quite a bit #again it just took a while to grow on me i think #changing the shape of the plants containers was cool too they look like #batteries or fuses if they were made of glass cylinderical or smth #i did really like the lightbulbs too though but being more of an energy source image than light as bulbs are kinda makes me insane #then theres also like bwah test tubes honestly cylinders are just fantastic shapes #wolfwood is kind of a bitch but like its also super understandable considering everything and i love that hes much more immature and #annoying which you WOULD expect from what happened to him he’s probably supposed to be younger in this version but who knows !#the times aren’t so clear track ever so he could be even older or like eleven #i kinda wish the vials were purple though like wine communion wine i mean i know it’s probably not supposed to be like that or wtevr #but the anime said communion wine for smth and i just pictued all of it religious so yk blood of blah blah blah #i think it would have been cool and its how ill still draw it cuz i like the idea

#i had an uncomfortable realization this afternoon #i think part of what makes me uncomfortable with more...intimate versions of mckirk is because the age gap there #is similar to the age gap between myself and two of the people that abused me #of course i recognize that the context is wildly different there #two consenting adults vs one minor being incredibly inappropriate with a much younger minor who was unable to consent in any way #but i think even just that very minor piece of pattern recognition is enough to get my hackles raised #because it's not about the characters themselves there has been nothing in bones character to ever indicate that kind of malice #its nothing to do with the actual ship or characters it's literally just the age gap that every once in a while just makes my insides squirm #i dont think i would have ever had the realization at all if i hadnt had a nightmare about jim being attacked and assulted last night #bones wasnt even in the dream it was just a couple of older officers but it kept replaying in my brain till i wrote out the aftermath #and getting him patched up and it was the context of jim going through a similar trauma to mine and coming to me for help #that i connected the dots #i mean within in the context of how i usually write bones jim didnt want to tell him at first becaus i write bones as being an sa survivor #and jim didnt want to trigger him in all of this so he asked me for help instead #but writing him going to someone closer to his own age over some closer to the age of the people who hurt him kind of connected the dots #it's definitely a me issue and its not actually anything to do with the characters or the ship in general #its just a really unfortunate happenstance

i kinda am always nervous openingly reflecting on our system's HABIT and the ways he is similar to his canon self. its just small things and they are handled differently w us vs how it happens in canon. but it makes me feel like i am an awful person because of who we ended up having a fictive of.

#idk man. H is objectively a morally bad guy. i do not condone his actions. but a version of him is here and we can work with him to channel #certain behaviors. thats why he is considered more of a protector role at this point #like yes. he cannot front with milo for specific reasons that i dont know if H eill ever be able to manage.#but come on just bc my younger body was too traumatized and saw a character that didnt have too much lore at the time and created a fictive #doesnt mean We as a whole are bad people. its doesnt mean our H is necessarily a bad person. he hasnt commited any crimes irl #i just. have a deep fear some rando will blow me up if they find out about HABIT

My piece I did for @turtlestogetherzine !

I truly cannot explain just how much this project means to me, and how PROUD I am of every single contributor!! Everyone did so amazing, seeing all the love and passion everyone had for the TMNT series was seriously so awe inspiring.

The amount of people who supported the zine, first with preorders then with Leftovers (sold out in ONE DAY! Crazy!) and those getting the digital zine still, you all are incredible and I genuinely hope you love this project!

This piece is so special, I went in thinking I'd do something Raph focused (my technically favorite turtle) or even something Rise focused (my fav version so far) but no, I went to the drawing board wanting to represent as many iterations I could with Leo!

My history with Leonardo is such a funny one, when I watched 2003 (my first iteration) growing up, I HAAAAATED Leo LMAO! I hated how boring he was and how much of a rule stickler he was, and I grew up with just this innate dislike of him for every following iteration, till I watched ROTTMNT. I went into Rise expecting to dislike Leo, but they did a complete flip on his character, and I loved it! It was so fresh and it was so fun seeing him be a goof.

So when I went back to watch 2012 for the first time, I found myself loving Leo and his traits there, and then when I went back to watch 2003, the appreciation for Leo grew TENFOLD and I just became smitten with this character!

Mutant Mayhem wasn't out yet at the time, so I wanted to create something that celebrated Leo, the series and the passing of the torch to the newer younger Leo! (WHOM I ADORE!!)

Sorry this was so long, but this project came out better then I could have DREAMED!! So thank you to all who helped bring it to life!

COWABUNGA!
