one thing i appreciate so much about shameless is that it does a good job of representing what it means to live in a city. so much of popular media focuses on rich people who live in rich cities and it creates this monolithic story wherein everyone who lives in the city is rich and stuck up and evil (?) and hates small towns/businesses and also, for some reason, hates living in the city and envies those very same small towns/businesses (???).

but like. people in the city are people too. they are poor too. people in the city are happy in their city. people in the city have small business and robust communities who all try to help each other through things. people in the city have culture. and family. and history. and legacy. and love. so much love. not everyone cares about the shit rich city people in rich-city-people-media care about. in fact, only the rich-city-people care about that shit, and they're not even the majority in these spaces. typically it's poor immigrants and poc looking for opportunity and a happy life. sometimes they find it.

idk i love shameless's depiction of the city i love the el train i love the neighbors who help a struggling young family steal milk and get telephone access and love them so much. i love the wandering dogs i love the boys sharing a bike i love them all walking each other to school. i love fiona going to debbie's school events and lip tutoring in the slightly nicer area nearby i love ian working in the local tiny convenience store. i love the community that is forged by these struggling young people who don't have a built-in community handed to them. who have had to make a family out of what little they had.

and they live in the city. and it's their home. and they love it.

#shameless #ami rants #sick and tired of the 'rich stuck up city folk' narrative #have you never met a real life person from a city before? do you not realize that poor people also live in cities? and have small businesse #and families and communities???? do you not think they love each other????!!!!?!??!?!?!?!?!!!! do you not think they're ALSO PEOPLE???!?!?!#fuck you #city life #i WILL write an opposite hallmark movie some day mark my words #and BTW #THE GALLAGHERS LOVE THE SOUTH SIDE #THEY LOVE CHICAGO #THEY ARE PROUD OF IT #BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM HAPPY #AND THEY ARE UPSET WITH IT STARTS GETTING GENTRIFIED #IT'S KIND OF A CENTRAL THEME #sick and tired of people assuming misery about. normal people living their normal and multifaceted and boundlessly rich lives.#STOP

On one hand, Young Justice is kind of neglected by the actual superheroes that should be looking out for them in a lot of crucial ways and very much failed by the adults around them

But on the other hand Red Tornado straight up hosts a parent-teacher conference where their respective legal guardians all show up, barring Batman who’s in traffic so Nightwing fills in instead because Robin’s dad does not know he’s a vigilante which is objectively hilarious

#Superboy does not have a name and his ass is constantly getting groomed like Clark please take a more active role in his life #And all of these guys need a healthy interaction with their respective legacies that does not involve heroing #Take them out for lunch! Play a video game with them! Let them be a kid around you without getting criticized!#Red Tornado had barely reconnected with his own humanity and he’s taken a more active role in being like they are safe happy and learning #compared to the people who literally are the reason they exist in the first place #and is the only one who seems to recognize their potential and ability as a team! and he wants others to know that!#and it’s kind of heartbreaking because the JLA should be paying attention to them and noticing how they succeed and instead just show up #at the worst possible time and take things out of context and criticize them and bestie I bet you they are a lot better of a hero #than *you* were at 14-16 because they actually are going out and making a difference and saving people #but the ones who should support them the most are barely there for them at all #someone give these kids healthy and appropriate emotional support I am begging you #yj #young just us #young justice #yj98 #bart allen #tim drake #kon el #conner kent #superboy #robin #dc impulse #cassie sandsmark #wonder girl #cissie king jones #arrowette #greta hayes #slobo dc #empress #anita fite

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

DCxDP AU where Dani fakes being an alien.

Dani's obsession with travel also left her with a desire to know more about the places she couldn't travel to, like Krypton and Mars. Considering the vast majority of both those populations are dead, it was easy enough for her to befriend some ghost aliens. From them she learns about their culture and language.

At some point one of her new friends jokes that her ghost powers kind of function like a mix of Kryptonian and Martian biology. She laughs. It is just a joke.

At least till she is in danger. The GIW finally found her. She is scared and desperate and tells a lie. Dani screams out, "Superman, if you can hear me, I am Kryptonian too and they are trying to capture me. Please help."

She doesn't actually expect this plan to work. It was a last ditch hail Mary. She figured she would (fully) die here, but even if he was on the other side of the earth he hears her and comes to her rescue.

But see, actions have consequences and now that she is safe she needs to keep the lie going. It is a good thing her alien ghost friends are willing to help her create a fabricated story about how a Martin and a Kryptonian managed to get to earth, have a child, and for some reason aren't around anymore.

It is not an ideal situation, but being an alien is legal while being a ghost isn't, so what's a girl to do? If there is one thing a child who travels the world alone knows how to do, it is lie and bullshit their way through any situation.

Meanwhile, Clark and J'onn are thrilled and fighting each other for custody.

Lineart by @ovytia-art which was such a blast to color - I love the entire vibe of all of them hanging out together so much @green-with-envy-phandom-event

#greenwithenvy2024 #danny phantom #i picked it for Dani originally but i really do love seeing all of them interact together it makes me really happy to see #fun fact the flats (including background) took almost 4 hours. + i had to spread that up over a few days due to eye problems slowing me dow #but it was so so worth it. no one else will really understand but working on it gave me the same kind of goofy fun stress free feeling as #when me and my friends hang out at our dennys. i have a newfound fondness for nasty burger.#anyway do NOT look too closely at the car background because i /know/ they're messed up perspective just. hush.#i designed some nasty burger logos for this based on the canon sign! it was very fun!!!! and i reused them for another piece #dp jbee
