Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.
Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcyā€™s letter exposes her fatherā€™s flaws to Elizabeth in a way sheā€™d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesnā€™t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sistersā€™ and motherā€™s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she canā€™t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabethā€™s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.
#pride and prejudice#Iā€™ve always loved his character because he IS funny and he is iconic!!! and his love for Lizzy is touching!#heā€™s not faking it.#but he is so flawed. a man of taste a man of ability a man of judgment.#a man who could and SHOULD have set a different tone for his children and chose not to!#and they SUFFER FOR IT#their house is a divided one. and every child feels the pain of living in a house where the parents neither respect each other#nor are on the same team#there is a crack running through their house for this reason and itā€™s how Lydia (and Kitty) came to be so neglected!#who is going to discipline them or guide them? certainly not Mr. Bennet!#heā€™s so important to teach too. because the boys LOVE HIM. of course!#and are always very struck by his failures and laziness once I point it out#and yeah Darcy one of the only people who can expose him. because Darcy is putting in the work a man should be doing#Darcyā€™s house IS in order. his love is active and protective. he is fulfilling his role!#Mr. Bennetā€™s gifts are so extraordinaryā€”the wit. the insight into human nature. honestly the capacity for wisdom#but he likes his library. he likes enjoying himself more than he likes doing his duty#as either a father or a husband#he does fail Mrs. Bennet! I have compassion for her there#anyway I love to think about this: something no version I have ever seen has ever fully explored#but man is it on the page#yeah yeah sorry for all the words. teacher off duty etc.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#sora#rage form#arendelle#formchange#my gif#rage form is so intriguing#sora still behaves in a wild animalistic fashion similar to his anti form but it's different#anti form felt as if he relinquished all self control and acted strictly on instinct just like a heartless#he used to run around hunched over on all fours and fight tooth and claw with reckless abandon#but here you can at least see SOME semblance of who he is. he's able to wield his keyblade while in this form which is pretty major#he still fights in an absolutely chaotic and primal manner but it feels evolved#the big difference is you call upon rage form at will. he channels his rage and darkness in a desperate last resort to stay alive#which is very significant but he still loses some control like the ability to use of magic; items; shotlocks; etc#it's cool to see darkness used in this way but i really want sora to able to explore themes of darkness within himself in future games#i want these to be more than cool forms with fun gameplay. i want them to have implications that something dark is brewing and needs to be-#brought to the surface and tackled head on because we've never seen anyone capable of cloaking themselves in darkness in such a way#take riku's dark form for example. he's in control and he's very much still himself. it's entirely different#on another note i'm now thinking about how hp is fully restored when activating rage form but you have the choice to give it up again-#when using risk charge. it'll increase attack damage but you're still walking a dangerous line in the pursuit of power

I donā€™t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesnā€™t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.
The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.
Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you canā€™t do that, you canā€™t trust it.
If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channelsā€”NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if itā€™s a major news networkā€”thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?
Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesnā€™t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.
#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#and before I get any angry anons saying Iā€™m making the argument that both sides are the same#I am not. and nowhere did I say that#and if your immediate reaction to any amount of criticism of leftist spaces or communication#is knee jerk outrage and defensiveness#this is an invitation to explore why that is for you.#this isnā€™t about anyone on here this is from conversations Iā€™ve had with a few people IRL who have shared leftist misinformation a lot#so if youā€™re feeling attacked by this post and I havenā€™t directly spoken to you multiple times about misinformation with you responding bac#this isnā€™t. a vague post. about you. okay?#I cannot reiterate enough THIS IS AFTER IRL INTERACTIONS NOT A CAL OUT VAGUEPOST#and as one final note. IF YOU FOLLOW PEOPLE. WHO CONSTANTLY USE. THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORDING CHOICES POSSIBLE.#YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.#no one communicating in true good faith to ALL PEOPLE about facts uses loaded language more than occasionally#the sooner you learn that the better. and that really starts narrowing down the pool of who you want to actually listen to (while still#verifying anything they tell you)#get higher standards!!!! and read some books or watch lectures about actual effective communication to broad groups without using tribalism#and also. anyone on the left trying to convince you of massive efforts and conspiracies that are anti everything#is also wrong 99% of the time and not a good source to listen to#never EVER assume conspiracy when it can be more simply explained through either#ignorance obliviousness incompetence financial greed or misunderstandings#the end. Iā€™m really done this time. Iā€™m just sick of seeing so many people fall prey to this#shh katie#cult escapee#politics and current events#donā€™t get swept up in the constant tsunami of performative online activism#election 2024#world events

I think one of the most interesting ways to write Steveā€™s parents (or his mom, at least) is as a deeply flawed person with good intentions.
Donā€™t get me wrong, I love a fic where theyā€™re just bad people. Sometimes thatā€™s all you need for a good story and this is not a criticism of anybodyā€™s interpretation.
My personal preference in writing his parents is as people who are trying to be good parents.
Like, im currently messing around with this AU concept where Steve has a really complicated family dynamic. In it, he has bad parents. His mother made a choice to follow her husband because she thinks itā€™s the only way to preserve her marriage and thus preserve a good life for her son. Itā€™s not malicious neglect but it is neglect. Sheā€™s trying to do the right thing but sheā€™s making the wrong decisions. In the end, sheā€™s still hurting her child.
A couple years ago I wrote this fic about Steve spiraling into a severe depression and his parents are trying to help him. They just donā€™t listen. They donā€™t understand what heā€™s dealing with and they make the wrong choices when trying to help him. Everybody that tries to help him makes the wrong choices, but with the best of intentions. Steve says repeatedly throughout the fic that itā€™s not his parents fault they donā€™t know how to be parents.
Itā€™s really fun to write and itā€™s really cathartic if your relationship with your parents isnā€™t easy.

I keep seeing fanarts of ppl's OC's being on the ship, so do you think that if there was 6st crewmember (specifically, another woman) Anya would've been more safe? Like, someone to actually call Jimmy's begaviour out, someone Anya might wanna trust? Is there a possibility something might have changed (even if a little) or it would not have mattered at all?
-šŸ’€
I feel like the game would make it part of the commentary on where she would believe and help Anya but still be sort of dismissive? Like the whole ā€œdonā€™t waste time crying and being scared keep going and move on, donā€™t let him winā€. Itā€™s supposed to be positive and reinforcing but sometimes it does more damage in those times of mourning and grief, it feels patronizing, like you donā€™t understand what youā€™re going through but they do. Even if they did call out his behavior itā€™s still on Curly to act and while another voice would help, itā€™s still 4 against 2 on guys that donā€™t get it until they have to vs women who always have to.
I donā€™t mind mouthwashing OCs but I do get a bit bored as they tend to be borderline saviors or like Jimmy aligned. They are either more complicit than Curly or just Jimmy haters for no reason, outside of what the creators know about what he did to Anya. I am never irked by OCs but in a story like mouthwashing you really need to think about what your character adds to the commentary, especially if they are there during the crash. Itā€™s nice to have like characters on Anyaā€™s side more whole heartedly and interesting to see characters who placate Jimmy but sometimes itā€™s one note.
I canā€™t and donā€™t want to police peoples OCs itā€™s never my intention when I comment on trends I notice, but I do feel like the way people make their OCs interact with these two characters and especially Curly, really show a grave misunderstanding of the narrative and these characters as people vs roles in the story. Still, I know people just make up characters for fun and thatā€™s fine. Great even, but I guys Iā€™m focusing more on OCs that are supposed to have those serious dynamics. My favs tend to be pretty-Tulpar or post-Tulpar au OCs.
The inevitably of the crash is on Jimmy. He did that not because he wasnā€™t stopped but because all his means to kill Anya were taken. The gun, the axe. Even if Curly did strip him of his co-pilot privileges and try to keep him contained thereā€™s only so many people. An extra body helps but they have jobs they have to do, heā€™s the only one steering the whole ship and Jimmy would likely have an out: food, bathroom, etc. Heā€™s not new and if he couldnā€™t crash the ship directly, whoā€™s to say he wouldnā€™t sabotage something else? A clunker like the Tulpar wouldnā€™t take much. An extra person helps but itā€™s just another thing that prolongs what a person like Jimmy is willing to do to shirk responsibility.
Itā€™s more than just needing someone to stand up to him and think thatā€™s what is missing when it comes to inserting a character into the mouthwashing setting.
#like again most people treat Jimmy like a misanthrope and heā€™s not and the way heā€™s just evil/rude to everyone all the time just isnā€™t real#like heā€™s snarky and rude but it canā€™t be 100% of the time like hes not going out his way to instigate#heā€™s the type to say shit and hope it stirs the pot like Daisuke likes him at first#thinks heā€™s a bit of a jerk but he likes him like unless you specifically make a character heā€™s dislike heā€™s not just gonna be#readily antagonistic to strangers or at the get go#not to mention itā€™s not just about Anya needing a friend but someone with the power to do something#a point in why she confides in Curly is heā€™s the captain sheā€™s not just gonna tell the only other woman just because itā€™s still personal#not every girl tells their friend or another woman especially if they are new and they donā€™t know how they react not all girls are#girls girls some can be just as toxic as the men they are being confided in about#the nuance of the situation is not solved by having more people who actively hate jimmmy if anything it would make him escalate further as#clearly has issues with how people perceive him and being liked like another woman who hates him thatā€™s gonna do something crazy in his mind#I think itā€™s interesting when OCs explore another side of the pre established dynamics as Jimmy uses each remaining crew member to fill a#something Curly provided for him and represent his dynamic with Anya and being an abuser I just feel like a lot is being missed out on#and itā€™s mainly cause people donā€™t want to make OCs that arenā€™t great people like itā€™s okay to have a grey mediocre OCs in situations like#this its realistic and helps you write more grounded characters like idk i like the ocs but eh im not like a super fan#I really should make an analysis on Jimmy cause people hate discussing him and his character is being really misunderstood#like not saying sheā€™s innocent or an excuse but just not getting how he is supposed to work like heā€™s no dick fucking dasteredly#heā€™s a shitty guy who gets shittier like he ainā€™t start out an avengers level threat#mouthwashing#šŸ’€ anon#mouthwashing game#ask#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#mouthwashing oc#now I gotta make an oc just to prove myself but I canā€™t draw#so maybe not cuz whatā€™s the point if I canā€™t explain the fly drip
