Some not so serious doodles about the idea where Silco survived and Warwrick!Vander found him. I did these as fanservice for ME! Especially the clothes thing

(have fun trying to figure out the reading order of the third sketch dump)

“Ares…is a moron.”

I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.

Why do people not commit to their dreams and goals and then regret their decision?

People’s ability to commit to their dreams and goals can be influenced by a variety of factors, and regret often arises when they don’t follow through on their aspirations. Here are some reasons why people might struggle to commit and end up regretting their decisions: Fear of Failure: One of the most common reasons people hesitate to pursue their dreams is the fear of failing. The possibility…

O Poder de Manter a Paixão Pelos Ídolos e Hobbies Ao Longo da Vida

Cara, é necessário demais comentar sobre isso que irei dizer agora, então vamos lá!

Hoje, dia 16, eu estava almoçando com meus pais, e eu estava extremamente empolgado para ver o filme Blue Beetle (Besouro Azul), porque minha blusa tinha chegado, então eu meio que, estava surtando, até porque é um filme com 2 ídolos meus junto, sem contar que, É A BRUNA MARQUEZINE NO FILME DA DC. Enfim, continuando, minha mãe comentou que isso era mega infantil da minha parte, ficar assim por causa de filme, ter quarto costumizado, e tudo mais. Eu fiquei em completo silêncio porque né?! Cada um com sua opinião, mesmo que isso tenha me machucado.

Ai fiquei a tarde refletindo, que o motivo de eu ser geek hoje, é culpa dela, bom, metade da culpa é dela. Vou explicar melhor.

Quando eu tinha 10 anos, eu comecei a ser fã de Justin Bieber e Selena Gomez, tipo, doente em tudo que eles faziam. Eu tive Twitter desde 11 anos pra ficar perto deles, e também porque eu era excluído na escola, mas enfim, então eu meio que tudo que eu pensava sobre os dois (outros ídolos também, como 1D, e essas coisas) eu postava lá. Então recapitulando, em casa eu só mostrava que curtia as músicas. Quando fiz 13 anos eu me lembro de ter comentado 3 vezes com minha mãe sobre e pra ela era infantil demais isso, e lógico que nenhuma criança quer se sentir criança (o que eu acho até normal). Eu nunca mais demonstrei de novo qualquer sentimento por ídolos, só falava novidades que eu lia sobre eles. Quando o Justin Bieber se casou, eu chorei tanto, eu tinha 17 anos, minha mãe brigou comigo e ficou rindo, só que pra mim eu realmente iria casar com ele futuramente, normal pensar isso de fav. Agora pensa, fiquei desde 13 anos até 17 não demonstrando nada.

No meu Ensino Médio eu não entrava muito na internet, minha rotina era perfeita, acordar, ir pra escola, estudar, e ver série a noite e finais de semana, alguns finais de semana minha amiga me chamava pra fazer algo. Eu usava meu telefone mais pra pesquisar e fazer trabalhos escolares e responder grupo da turma. Enfim, de 2017 a 2019 tudo que eu sabia dos meus favs, vinha dos meus colegas. Então aí me formei no Ensino Médio, e veio a bendita pandemia.

Na pandemia, eu viciei na internet absurdamente, bom, tudo que eu não mexi em 3 anos eu mexi em 1 mês de pandemia (digo sobre redes sociais). Então, parece que eu voltei a ser criança de novo, tendo ídolos e tudo mais. Sim, até choro de soluçar por ídolos que sei que jamais vou conhecer. Eu tenho uma amiga da faculdade que passou pelo mesmo.

Sabe o engraçado dessa história triste? Minha mãe vai sempre me achar infantil, e eu não quero crescer. Tipo, eu discordo que a gente tem que deixar nossos hobbies e coisas favoritas pra trás só porque crescemos. Eu vou sim comprar filme, livro, blusa, pôster e o que for dos meus ídolos, ou filme, ou música favorito. É meu universo, eu amo, tenho pessoas pra conversar sobre isso? Porque eu mudaria isso em mim se me faz bem? Lógico que eu não choro ou surto só porque o Justin Bieber andou na rua ou foi pro studio gravar música. Mas entende? Não acho que crescer/amadurecer seja parar de ter sonhos, ou parar de demostrar que gosta de algo.

man i feel bad for fans of the httyd movies who haven't seen the shows, especially race to the edge. like they don't know that the riders left berk and lived on an outpost together to go adventuring and fight dragon hunters as a team. they don't know that snotlout and astrid and fishlegs and the twins got character development. they don't know how cool and interesting the villains in the shows are compared to the movies. they don't know that the riders are filled with love and loyalty to each other and they bicker and train and play card games with each other and have sleepovers together and will risk their lives for their friends and their dragons in a heartbeat. imagine that.

Hot take: Bluey became such a massive hit because it's one of the few currently-running TV shows where parents and children are both treated as valuable people with rich inner lives.

After the death of the family sitcom, most shows are either: 1) aimed at children and show the parents as idiots who get in the way of the children's plans; 2) aimed at adults and show only childless single people; or (rarely) 3) family sitcoms where the parents and children are horrible people who hate their lives and yell a lot. So a show that portrays the children and the parents as people with interesting personalities who are doing their best and like spending time with each other filled a gap in the culture and people went crazy for it.

Question: do you think it's better for Cass to be verbal or nonverbal?

i don't think twilight is buff. like, i bet he's fit. toned, perhaps. but like, super chiseled? no. working out to have a ton of definition is a lot different than working out to maximize strength and agility, which is what i think he does.

most female main characters in ya fantasy usually don't have their parents around/are orphans/ran away from home (e.g. the mortal instruments, lockwood & co, a deadly education, ...), which is why there are often no adult figures around to manage the (magical) chaos the teenage characters have to untangle standalone.

but the raven cycle is different — the adults work together with the teen characters, actually listen to them, and try to help them with their quest. blue doesn't have only her friends around to help her out, she also has a giant home with different, female rolemodels. calla, persephone, maura, and all the other aunts and friends — they give blue something most ya characters don't have.

and as the series continues, she also meets the grey man, who becomes a familiar figure for her, too.

instead of having not enough help and support from adults, which is a thing most ya protagonists struggle with, blue has so many people constantly trying to protect, guide, and help her, and i think that's awesome.

she has a family, and they're actually a part of the story.

Cycle 99.

The sky above is blue, and there’s only one sun... but otherwise, it feels like home.

i don't post much (any?) of my cosplay on here but these photos turned out so well i had to share!! shoutout to my friend mel (@baroqueblood on instagram) for capturing these incredible shots of my lup last month :,) i'm so so proud of this cosplay, i've slowly assembled it one piece at a time over about 2 years and i think this is the best version of it so far!

for some reason I can never take those heartwarming diaspora industry speeches seriously. Like that star navigation metaphor was cool and all but I'm not getting how your mother escaping being killed by US bombs in vietnam and you working for nasa uh. reconcile with eachother.

hating Romeo and Juliet is fine if you had a shitty English teacher and didn't care about school at the time or whatever but if it's been many years since then... I'm giving you permission to let go of that opinion. the problem in Romeo and Juliet isn't the young love story, it's the stupid family rivalry that gets both heirs killed. that's what it's about. it's about closed mindedness and pettiness leading to tragic consequences. these adults hated each other so much, were so determined to hate each other, that they let their children die over it. the love story is romantic and dramatic, but hating the play because 'some dumb teens die bc they think they're in love' isn't it. they are in love. teens can be in love and it can feel like the most important thing in the world. and they shouldn't have to die bc of their families' bullshit.

Wayne Family Adventures literally had 2 entire seasons worth of healthy dad Bruce who sits down and talks with his kids. He brought Jason down from a nervous breakdown. He got Damian a dog. He told Tim that it's Batman who looks out for Robin. He felt incredible guilt over missing even one of Cass' recitals. He plays with the kids, he takes care of them, he talks with them about family and what they mean to him. He puts in the work.

And yet we still have people coming out of the woodworks to claim that being an asshole is "integral to his character" the one time he says fuckshit to the kids.

Look I came from from multiple abusive households (yeah that's right I'm pulling this card). I know what that looks like. This ain't it. What Bruce said is fucked up, no doubt about it. But this is after potentially years of kindness and heartfelt discussions. Saying something fucked after all that healthy behavior isn't abuse, it's a call for help. And that's what the kids are trying to do. He's scared. He even admitted to Damian that none of it matters as long as they're safe.

This arc isn't to point and go "oh look at how horrible Batman is and how he treats his family". It's showing how grief and trauma can twist the people you love into something that hurts, and the effort and pain needed on both sides to fix that (like in the Jason episode, how he lost control and almost hurt Dick and then told them to take care of Bruce). Keeping this idea that violence and abuse is integral to Batman and his relationships is the same mentality that has kept main timeline Bruce in that behavior for the last god-knows-how-long.

Melinda's Cards

Four of Cups - According to Melinda's layout, this represents the Present. The Four of Cups symbolises self-absorption and apathy.

Death - According to Melinda's layout, this represents the factors around you. The Death card represents transformation, and new beginnings.

The Star Reversed - According to Melinda's layout, this represents the future. The Star Reversed stands for hopelessness and despair.

Other than these, there are three cards that go unread:

Ace of Cups Reversed - Represents sadness, repressed emotions and broken relationships of some sort.

Three of Swords - Represents grief, loss and betrayal.

Three of Wands Reversed - Symbolises failure, lack of self-confidence, and being haunted by the past.

Oof, definitely not a very happy reading, that's for sure. Feel free to let me know your own interpretations of this reading since I'm definitely no expert.
