So twsift namedrop Kim K's daughter and mentions Kim's death. Because of the beef that she primarily had with Kanye....

But she shouldn't be held responsible for the bad that men in her life ever do, like Matty Healy being a bigot or that godawful director she worked with or Kelce being a xenophobe and misogynist. She disgusts me.

there are a lot of reasons i'm really, really impressed by how well sdmi portrayed the dynamic of an abusive relationship with pericles and ricky, and one of the big ones is how accurately they show what it looks like when abuse starts to escalate.

the extent of that is yet another thing that'll take a longpost of its own to go into, because it spans like.... the entire arc of their relationship in the show. but one thing that stands out to me in particular is their portrayal of the massive red flag that is a partner trotting out bigoted behavior against a group you're in. especially insults, and especially directed right at you.

this show has a LOT of fatphobia, jesus christ does it ever, and there are certainly some fatphobic tropes going on with ricky; but i've always been surprised and impressed by how many of the nastier ones they avoided, especially considering his role in the story and what his arc is about.

he is a major, nuanced character whose trauma is treated with full weight and sincerity. it's implied that his body type changed the way it did due to the trauma he went through when he was younger, and the ensuing mental illness, which is a pretty realistic experience for a lot of people. the things that happen to him are played for full tragedy and horror, when it would have been so, so easy for them to make light of it because Tee Hee Fat Guy and Tee Hee Male Abuse Victims Funnee. despite how his whole thing involves corporate greed, they don't go the route of portraying him as Gluttonous and Hedonistic; if anything he is very obviously not using all that money for even basic physical self-care, and the only time we ever see him eating anything it's when he's drinking wine grape juice with pericles. which, like, there's issues to be unpacked with that too, but jesus christ it's an improvement over what usually happens with characters like him.

he's a fat queer man who isn't degendered or made feminine in a mocking and/or predatory way. (there's nothing wrong with feminine fat queer men and they need more non-shitty rep, please and thank you god, but there is a lot of nastiness in the tropes they're often used for in mainstream media, and one of those tropes is when people consider 'fat queer man' and 'masc' to be oxymorons.) no one ever once calls him ugly; if anything multiple people in his life think he's attractive and desirable, for better or for worse. no one body-shames him. and no one ever mentions his weight.

except pericles.

'The Horrible Herd' and 'The Devouring' are two halves of a whole here, re: escalation of abuse. 'Devouring' is when the abuser goes full mask off and shit hits the fan; 'Horrible Herd' is the wind-up before the punch. HH is when ricky realizes things are getting Bad and he needs to put a stop to this now, and Devouring shows what happens when he tries, because by the point where it's gotten bad enough to give him a wakeup call it's already too late. it's how abusive relationships tend to go, and it's chillingly accurate.

and what's one of the things pericles says during Horrible Herd when that punch is winding up? something no one's ever said before now, including him? 'you pudding-faced dummkopf.'

he body-shames him. he insults his weight, and that's a major turning point. bigotry is something that's often there to some degree from the start, but not always, because some abusers are good at hiding things like that until they're confident they've got you where they want you. the message with ricky and pericles is loud and clear: when this happens, the walls are dripping blood. get out.

(if you can. and be careful when you try.)

when this show is good, it is really, truly good. god damn.

rating donna troy costumes part 3

oh god. what the fuck man. i have so many opinions about this damn costume. i should not have so many fkin opinions about this ONE costume. gahhhhhh.

it works for that specific version of donna and her origin. an aggressive, more conservative take on diana’s armor. the shoulderguards give off this cool militaristic silhouette, and the belt buckle kinda reinforces that by looking a bit like the one in a service uniform. also personally, the combination of the W logo coupled with the winged shoulderguards, call me crazy but that looks like donna’s belt logo got incorporated. that’s my crazy

it’s also fking impractical. like i think, besides the silver eagle armor its the most impractical armor on this list. the titans hunt#3 cover (left) fixes this by simplifying it and removing the cape. make the shoulderguards smaller and more ‘sculpted’ along the shoulders and it works. also get it a better palette.

i actually liked the composition of this costume when i first saw it, which is bc sonia oback did good job making a cohesive palette. front bodice and the harness buckles were red. side bodice, battleskirt and the upper side of the boots were brown. silver (crest, boot decorations) and gold (studs, shoulderguards belt buckle etc) were used appropriately. leggings and cape were black. there were flaws. but the color continuity worked.

so this starts to fall apart when the artists get inconsistent. finch doesn’t draw it as detailed as it was in the debut issue. the war torn arc had colorists with WILDLY different ideas on coloring the armor. the one in the middle (brad anderson) is all over the place. like holy god. there’s no organized palette or any contrast to diana’s. i also hate the way they colored that cape like. the fuck. why????

that arc did its thing and then new 52 donna popped up in titans hunt. for the most part it only looks good in the covers that yanick paquette drew for the series. like the skirt is simplified, the belt is simplified, we don’t have a cape in that cover and it actually looks redeemable. we also have a structured color palette again: silver makes up a majority of the metals there and maintains consistency, the bodice, boots and arm/sleeves/wraps/whatever are the same shade of red. skirt and armbands are same color. the black non-cape looking harness thing and the leggings match. in the comic it looks like hot garbage. that is all.

imo i think the paquette take on this costume should be the definitive version. it could be improved further by saturating the red further, giving donna actual bracelets, desaturating the gold and changing the red harness buckles to match the silver belt. darken the leggings to black and we’re good.

but like. the perception of this is heavily colored by that one arc. people see this costume and remember that this version of donna committed genocide. same way i hate the current one, just for being in the liberal virtue-signaling steve orlando storyline where unlawful combatant donna troy breaks international law and topples an entire country but its somehow ok because fAsCiSm. and like this costume has to be improved so much from canon. in canon it’s about as ugly as the first troia suit and only slightly more functional. so like. 0/10

so this one’s solid actually. it’s a pretty cool way to tie in the black/silver color scheme without referring back to the godfuckingawful titan seed origin. here you just have the plausible deniability that a) the red became black, b) yellow stars went white and c) gold obviously turned into silver. sort of like a, costume graduation thing. kinda. like it’s a more tactical and reinforced version of the wonder girl aesthetic which is cool. modern militarism with amazon elements. i like the belt but i wish it wasn’t mistaken for an A all the time. the W on the collar is AESTHETIC im sorry but the one good thing of rebirth was that they gave the choker to donna and not diana. but it’s actually p good!! wish we still had it 10/10

fucking 0/10 what were they trying to do here this is ugly this is needless whoever approved this should be court-martialed

ew. ew. ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. like. im sorry but. dc it’s going to take a lot more than aesthetics to invoke the previous continuity. double that when this donna’s first solo story was her committing americentric violations of international law, thanks steve orlando for putting your dumbass liberal escapism in here and now this costume is ruined forever.

also im pretty sure its not gonna get better with the jimenez thing coming up. and the fucking “donna has a father” origin (goddamn ANOTHER RETCON). so not only does this suffer from the same thing with new 52 donna buuuuuut.

dc. this exact costume was conceived in a fan edit from the 2010s. you didn’t even fucking try. 0/10

I have.... crossposted some chapters of Maiden onto Wattpad after a recent mess of some fic from other fandoms getting stolen from AO3 and posted over there.

That was... an event. I do like the schedule post function but god, their posting format is godfuckingawful.

So if you are a wattpad user and see Maiden on there and are CONCERNED, I am over there under the same name. I even made a pretty cover for it

leave me alone it's a cute cover!

I fucking love TMP. it is so quintessentially star trek. it's the decade of tech advances irl between the end of the og series and this movie translating into wonder and awe onscreen. its the new races and new generation in Starfleet. it's the fact that there IS no real "bad guy" and the conflict is really about a character that's lonely and wondering about the nature of itself in the universe. it's Spock foregoing Vulcan nirvana for Kirk and This Simple Feeling.

it's also about the slowness/redundancy that is ultimately boring and even grating. it's also the stupid fucking rollercoaster strap-ins on the bridge seats. it's also about Starfleet being very casual that Kirk reports the guy who was taking command of the enterprise in his place was "killed in action... no wait.. list him as... missing 🤌" it's about George Takei's mole.

it is about, above all else, these absolutely powerful godfuckingawful costumes. they are unmatched. form-fitting sleepy pale-blue pajamas with Literal Belly Buttons. the fucking buttons what the fuck are they even. press the one on Kirk and he says "This is Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise!" and press the one on Spock and he says "That is highly illogical, Captain." but they also look like they're gonna shoot a laser straight from their belly button like the my hero academia kid. but they also look weirdly suggestive, like they're kind of a Bulge but not exactly.

it's the perfect star trek movie. it's everything star trek ever has been -- impressive and innovative in many ways, and also fucking stupid as hell. wrath of kahn is a "better movie" by normal standards but THIS is the perfect star trek movie.

The original and best Star Trek jumpsuits

Spoilers for one piece 1011

Apparently Big Meme is going to go soft because she saw O-tama and thought "omg she cute" or whatever. This entire build up is leading to nothing but yonkos getting absolutely TRASHED and HUMILIATED the whole arc. Either Kaido gets rekt, gets back up, gets rekt, gets back, and everytime he gets back up he goes "good attack bro." What in the fuck is going on anymore?

Those sanji and killer and kidd fights are just ABYSMAL to say the least, I don't even see the point in those characters, anymore. At one poikt Sanji is kicking King, another moment he's fighting some else and it's like 🤨🤨🤨....who tf is fighting who??? The tobi roppo are so bland it's like staring at the void. All fights are off-screened and the story never moves on.

Stop telling me to "wait" for someth to happen, it's been 102 chapters and the yonkos are just getting pounded violently, they teleport here and there accordingly to the plot and the whole thing makes no sense at all. The mugiwaras are for the most part absent as they have been for the entire arc.

And now Big Meme is a comic relief/plot device ready to blow up what Oda has put in place in 20yrs.

No I won't stfu. I invested a lot into one piece and I still love it despite wano being godfuckingawful. I love one piece, the mysteries, the originality of the characters' designs and everything else. Don't tell me "this is just your opinion" again, I KNOW it is my opinion, you're just mad that I'm right and that wano is not getting anywhere.

Still waiting for "the man looking for a place to die" to actually look as scary as in his introduction scene.

a bookmark near the end -

Summary: Sarawat senses Tine's leg tensing next to his and he feels godfuckingawful, he could almost cry. The thing is Tine seems to have moved on from what happened in the past but sometimes, Sarawat finds his mind circling back. 'He didn't trust you.' He has been reassuring himself that none of that mattered. They made it this far, didn't they? They are still together. He knows Tine loves him. He shows it in his own ways. The green curry he meticulously cooks for Sarawat, the way he moves closer to Wat until their hands brush when he thinks Wat wouldn't notice, the long gazes when he thinks Sarawat is not looking. He knows Tine loves him, that's all that counts.

'But he didn't trust you...' A tiny, wounded voice whimpers.

OMAR SIDIBE. HISTORICAL ANTHROPOLOGIST. 31 YEARS.

“Gemini Colony is all you’ve ever known. Do you ever think about Earth, and regret not knowing what it was like there?”

I think - see, we were always kinda fucked to begin with, right? Here, or there. I chronicle the past and sift through archives. We see blood, the same kind flowing through my veins and yours, spilling across time and space. It's the same colour, the same viscosity, the same metaphor for life trickling, for dreams bleeding.

My point is this - yeah, I'm a historian. I'm an anthropologist. I archive shit for the government. I think about Earth a lot - I think about the source of our legacies, our grievances, our advancements. I breathe oral histories and narratives - it's all, they're professional requirements, you know?

But regret? Do I regret not knowing what it was like there, experientially? Man, I - I mostly regret having to wake up for work, follow the same goddamn routine day in day out, live a mostly ordinary life here. Deal with that godfuckingawful neighbour who just won't stop asking me if I've been eating enough.

So, uh. Yeah. We done here?
