so many people just hear "dick was a cop" and go "eww im gonna pretend i didnt see that" and like. if its just bc you cant handle the subject matter thats one thing, but often times its just. performative. especially because the actually storyline is so much about dick trying (and as far as ive gotten to reading so far, failing) to make a change in the system and be a "good cop". it's an extremely heavy but genuinely very interesting storyline. dick does find other "good cops", but they're very much the minority and usually keep their heads down, because cops are bastards and will ruin the lives of "fellow officers" who try and do things right. they try to frame dick for murder at one point and everything.
#its such a long and significant thing that happened and im like. youre explicitly mentioning it just to say you're ignoring it? alright.#sure. so proud of you. im sure that makes a huge difference in the world. very cool.#not trying to shade at any one person but ive just seen that attitude from people have definitely never read nw96 lol#at most they read 93 so they can bitch about how 'terrible' they think it is and use it as an excuse to wish terrible things#onto like. one of Very Few women who were in the comic book industry at the time#but im sure theres nothing internalized going on there. sure its just coincidence that they never bitch about male authors#using the excuse of social justice#love me some social justice but fuckin hate people who try to do it in fictional space instead of like. reality#literally helping no one by harassing Problematic Woman Author#dont even wanna name her bc her haters are some of the worst people ive ever seen on the internet lol#ANYWAYS. im done ranting#woke up at 03:30 and chose violence i guess

i lied i had like atleast one more weston thought to expell from my brain, before i miss this boat entirely. we're heading to green lands woooo
#god i had a fever this entire morning and afternoon so I think it was my inability to do anything that finally pushed me to finish this#seriously it took a month... disapointing#more disappointing is that i didn't have the time to tear up the internet in order to find what a professors break room looked like in 1899#if there was such a thing#really tragic#ah yea welp im very glad it's out there atleast. I want to release all of my black butler stuff so badly but guh...#tragedy has struck and i have been inspired to finally make a person project of my own#so that's taking a long time#but not to worry after like 5 years and some pondering i know well that black butler will always be one half of my brain#coooool#anyway i got more dorky stuff coming I hope??? wasn't lying before I am thinking of the midfords#and ill pray i can find the strength to get everything done soon#hope my rants are more tasteful after months of absence if ur still here#kuroshitsuji#black butler#kuroshitsuji fanart#fanart#sebastian michaelis#digital art#animation#animatic#video#weston college arc#black butler anime#black butler agares

I love your depiction of Hamilton and Lafayette, it’s so funny! Lafayette is so sweet and happy and Hamilton just has beef w/ the entire world. I can’t wait to see more of their brotherly relations in ur AMAZING art style
God, they're so narrative foil coded
Seriously though, there's some fantastic contrast between them. They're just similar enough (both roughly the same age, both insecure and glory hungry, + their "shared father" or whatever Lafayette said) - and yet they manage to be exact opposites at the same time.
I could say more but I think this bit from Mike Duncan's biography about Lafayette basically gets at what I'm trying to say:
"Like Lafayette, Hamilton grew up without a father. He also lost his mother to a fatal illness at almost the same age Lafayette lost his. But where the tragedies of Lafayette’s childhood made him the heir of a fabulous fortune, the tragedies of Hamilton’s illegitimate childhood left him systematically cut out of his family’s inheritance. So where the dark clouds of Lafayette’s life were lined with silver, the dark clouds of Hamilton’s life were simply dark. Lafayette emerged from childhood buoyant and effusive, Hamilton cynical and reticent. But even though Hamilton started life a penniless bastard on the periphery of European civilization, and Lafayette started life an insanely wealthy heir in the heart of a great kingdom, they fell into an easy friendship. French was not the only language the two young men shared. The also shared a code of personal honor and a desire to prove themselves to the world." -Mike Duncan, Hero of Two Worlds, The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution
Now, I am not qualified to speak on the real figures, but I do like to write. So, there is a narrative opportunity here that drives me insane.
Like, cast Hamilton as brilliant, but overly cynical with a habit of assuming the worst in people, and give him a negative character arc where he comes close to recognizing the potential good of humanity but ultimately falls into his more authoritarian tendencies. Then contrast him with Lafayette who's more naive. He's not quite sheltered but unfamiliar with the sort of selfishness and greed he'd have encountered if he grew up in a more vulnerable financial position. In coming to America he, like Hamilton, is forced to reckon with contempt, greed, and the failings of democratic government. But, unlike Hamilton, still manages to come out of it with a generally positive opinion of humanity.
I'm just saying, if I were writing history to contain ✨themes ✨ they are a perfect opportunity.
#this is the most I've ever ranted outside of my tags#it feels weird to have thoughts publicly lol#even if this is still generally nonspecific#is Lafayette's optimism just a symptom of his comparative naivete or do Hamiltons existing prejudices blind him to positivity#ok im done for now#amrev#alexander hamilton#marquis de lafayette#also I am glad people like my art style#because I#well Im pretty sure yall are talking about the way I color but I have spent ages trying to figure out how the hell human faces work#and I still dont get it#I spend most of my day on construction drawings which is a completely non-transferable skill#anyway literally the only thing to be done about it is to keep practicing so

i will never forgive totk for giving us 5 minutes of zelda being excited and confident about her actual interests right at the start only to yank her away for the rest of the game and into the scared puppy eyed little maiden role standing uncomfortably besides the cool new guy™️
like is it actually a genuis tragic move of the writers to let her yet again not be allowed to be anything but a puppy eyed sacrificial maiden or is it just … bad writing how do i explain that i care so much about zelda that totk made me care not even a little bit about anyone but master koga bc of how it was written
i was more emotionally invested trying to get a chicken out of a well than i was with totks story or new characters (if you take the yiga out of the equation)
(and no, finding a few scraps of text, you have to grind to find, telling me that actualyl she had so much fun there and did like .. one thing with an some sort of never seen or otherwise hinted at construct and omg she totally was integrated like famillyy and found friends we never see isnt remedying anything imo)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#totk#ganondoodles rants#not a long rant#but i saw a screenshot of totk zelda at the start of the story#and the post called her the most developed zelda theres ever been#well .. SHE COULD BE#THE POTENTIAL IS THERE BUT THEY DONT DO SHIT WITH HER EXCEPT FIND DUMB EXCUSES TO GET HER TO BE BASICALLY IRRELEVANT FOR THE ENTIRE GAME#tetra was also done dirty on occasion but i feel like she was a better zelda than totk zelda#anyway im repeating myself#jsut needed to get that out bc i ... will never stop getting angry at the thought of what she could have been#and what the real thing was in the end

my FAVORITE trope i rarely see in nischa fics is mischa having a MASSIVE crush on noel, and noel despite his romantic nature is completely oblivious to it/in doubt Mischa would ever be into him, so he just assumes Mischa is just REALLY friendly. i mostly like it cuz it kinda feels like whenever people write Mischa as oblivious, they just end up making him stupid and there's WAY too many implications about non-native English speakers being dumb for me to ignore.
#also#because the trope of “gay guy falls for guy he thinks is straight” when done poorly comes off kinda homophobic tbh#obvi no hate#and i do like a good oblivious mischa fic when done right lol#sorry if this post comes off as negitive#its just an interesting thing I've noticed#also I'm not saying EVERONE does this/no one should write mischa as oblivious but just like#be a little more mindful about that sorta thing when you write y'know?#cuz i know most of the time it's not purposeful/done in bad faith#nischa#noel x mischa#mischa x noel#noel gruber#mischa bachinski#ride the cyclone#rtc#mischa rtc#rtc musical#noel rtc#rant#rant ish#tw rant#not really but im tagging it anyway to be safe

seeing all these posts talking about payneland as if its some tragic unrequited love drives me insane ngl. or i guess not TRAGIC but the posts that are like "man edwin really got every boy except the one he wanted" HE ALREADY HAD HIM. HE ALREADY FUCKING HAD HIM ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?? MAYBE NOT ROMANTICALLY BUT GOD HE HAD HIM. AND HE STILL HAS HIM.
#idk its just annoying#bc to me the show did not frame it as tragic non-reciprocation AT all. it was very clear that charles loves edwin as much as he possibly can#-in EVERY other way and edwin KNOWS THAT and doesnt need him to want to kiss him back or whatever for that to MATTER#just. the way charles and edwin's love is compared to the cat king (who edwin JUST met and who trapped him in port townsend) and monty (who#-edwin ALSO just met and who fell for edwin while executing esther's revenge on him) AND EVEN SIMON (who had a crush on edwin over a century#-ago and was so stupid about it he sacrificed edwin to a demon) and their relationship is seen as somehow LACKING COMPARED TO THAT#it drives me BATTY#like yeah sure edwin likes charles romantically and charles doesnt reciprocate (at least to his own claim/so far anyway) and that can be a#-little bit sad. but FOR REAL#simon got edwin sacrificed to a demon. monty got turned back into a crow. edwin is leaving the cat king. but he STILL HAS CHARLES!!!!!!#okay im done with my angry aromantic rant jgdhdgdhbffh#magpie thoughts#magpie watches dbd#not putting this in main tags cuz its very salty and i dont wanna start anything i just wanna complain HGSJDBFJBF

Crawls up on my weirdly specific soapbox
The way Ninjago has handled Ronin in the Island minisodes + now in s15 (which i just started) is so uniquely annoying bc like... I feel like his actions aren't exactly OOC, but the way he and the ninja interact is ??
Like yeah ofc Ronin would take advantage of his position with the police to swindle a bunch of people for money. He's a selfish bastard(/aff). But he's also a selfish bastard that, despite everything, became an ally and friend to the ninja and helped them out on numerous occasions. So why is the response to his crimes essentially "ugh i knew it, you were always a despicable villain who has never done anything reedeeming ever"???? Like c'mon guys you could at least act a little surprised. Betrayed, even. Write him right or commit to the angst you cowards.
Anyway. I have so many Ronin/Dareth animatics and HCs brewing in my head rn just to spite the writers of the later seasons AHAHA
#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago ronin#rant#objectively this doesnt matter#but like did you really withhold Ronin from the storyline entirely for multiple seasons just to misinterpret his relationship to the ninja#also im not condoning anything hes done but this man is morally gray at best in the show#anyway hc that ronin got fired from the police station by performing “daddy cop” for the comissioner while drunk at a company party#also hc that hes a surprisingly good singer and absolutely kills it at dareths karaoke bar#and dareth got into law to help him get away w his petty crimes#scriblego

okay, just gonna say this now before i start this post: i have absolutely no problems with alternate universes, go ham with them, go wild, you can have fun, etcetc, they're called alternate universes for a reason, after all
however. HOWEVER.
i have a problem when people say something should have happened in canon, when canon itself disproves or goes against whatever these people want
the reason why im bringing this up?
the whole thing with how some people keep saying mirabel should have [insert the usual things people say here, hate, slap, punch, left, get revenge, etc, take your pick, there's unfortunately a lot to choose from] the family. in the canon movie.
again, i have no problem with alternate universes and seeing them in fanfics or whatever, you do you, could be interesting to see even
but when you start saying this should have happened in canon, its just. no. no.
god, it just frustrates me so much whenever i see these posts and comments, the ones that said she should have gone evil or villain or hate the family and all that stuff
because mirabel herself loves her family. she literally said it outright in the movie!!! its not in her personality and character to just go against them and hate them and want revenge. there will be hurt and hesitance and some resentment after everything she'd gone through, yes, but outright hate to the point where she'll hurt them?? absolutely not.
not with her character, her love and empathy and understanding, the traits we see her show in the movie.
like my friend once said: mirabel "he loved this family. i love this family. we all love this family" would NEVER hurt her family
say it louder for the people at the back!!
and thats not all i want to rant about tbh...the real kicker on this one?
whenever this statement is added on top of it all: "if i were mirabel—"
well, news flash people who keep saying these things, mirabel isnt you. mirabel is her own character who has her own experiences and her own feelings. maybe you'll be able to relate to her, especially with similar experiences, but that doesn't mean you can just copy and paste your own feelings onto her and say this is what she should have done in canon because thats what i would have done!!
we all project onto our favorite characters in various ways, which is completely fine, go at it and definitely not surprising for a story about family issues, but when you start to project so much that you throw away the character's actual personality and characterization in favor of said projection? yeah...no.
thats not mirabel madrigal anymore, that's a completely new character...or dare i say, a self-insert for some people... 💀:////
yeah, im just so frustrated with this AAAAAAA 😭
but anyway yes.
thats it, really. again, AUs are absolutely fine but if someone starts yapping about how canon should have [insert whatever those people keep saying here] instead while disregarding actual canon and proper characters and personalities, im going to become violent
anywho...thats my thoughts on this, went on a bit of a tangent but
yeah
anyway bye—
#encanto#mirabel madrigal#kept going through some comments and posts in the past and i felt violent#and decided to rant#uhhhh hope this makes sense#and that im not being insane or something#but yeah#whoop—#overthinking and doubting again but#i will prevail aaaaaaaaaaaaa#but anyway yes#this is all for the people who had comments on how “canon should have ended like this!!!”#im so done with them pls

Here’s the thing I need people to understand:
Even if we believe that the (entirely unproven and far too politically convenient) pre-contract story between Edward IV and Eleanor Talbot was true, it doesn’t actually matter. Even if it was hypothetically true, there was still no reason why Edward V – who was already King at that point and was referred to as such – couldn’t have been able to succeed his father regardless.
David Horspool (Richard's own historian) summarizes it better than I could, so I’m just quoting him here:
"[Richard also made] no allowance for any potential solution to the problem that might have re-legitimized Edward V and his siblings. These included securing a retrospective canonical or papal judgement of the invalidity of the pre-contract; an Act of Parliament legitimizing the children of Edward and Elizabeth Woodville’s marriage, as happened to Henry VIII’s variously tainted offspring; or even ignoring the issue and proceeding to the coronation of Edward V, which would legitimize him by making him the Lord’s anointed, and render allegations of his bastardy as newer versions of the old tittle-tattle about his father."
In short, even if Edward IV truly had a pre-contract with Eleanor Talbot, and even if all of his children with Elizabeth Woodville were supposedly illegitimate, it should by no means prevent Edward V from succeeding his father to the throne. If Richard truly wanted to support his nephew, he had a variety of useful and entirely workeable options to choose from. Instead, he officially declared his nieces and nephews (including a literal 3-year-old) illegitimate, kept Edward V and his even younger brother confined in the Tower of London, and declared himself King.
Why didn't Richard take these actions, all of which he would have been well aware of? As Horspool says simply: "that Richard took none of these courses was because he had no interest in doing so."
The ONLY conclusion we can come to based on Richard's actions is summarized most succinctly by A.J Pollard:
"The truth of the matter is that Richard III did not want Edward V to be legitimate because he did not want him to be king."
#richard iii#my post#edward iv#princes in the tower#imo this is the main crux of the argument#it DOESN'T MATTER if the pre-contract story was actually true#even if it was true there was no actual reason why Edward V couldn't have been crowned regardless if Richard had truly wanted to support hi#sorry I saw something annoying on Twitter and wanted to rant#(I wasn't even searching for it lol it just popped up; it's very annoying)#I saw a bunch of people quoting John Ashdown-Hill (yeah that guy) on the fact that Eleanor chose to deed some of her property to her sister#Elizabeth Talbot during her lifetime rather than leave it to her in her will#and using this to argue that Eleanor considered herself married to Edward and as a married woman unfortunately could not bequeath real#property by will without her husband's consent#which is absolutely ridiculous considering the fact that#A MARRIED WOMAN ALSO COULD NOT DEED PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HER HUSBAND#Eleanor choosing to deed property to her sister during her life proves that *she did not consider herself married to anyone at the time*#Which ... should be extremely significant and indicative!#and should in fact settle the argument once and for all#I don't know how Ricardians have somehow twisted it and claim the opposite#anyway im done ranting. bye
