I'm gonna say somethin n yall have to promise not to kill me. ok. so. I think most of the fandom largely agrees that ponys interpretation of Darry was WAY off. blinded by greif n remorse n years n responsibility. pony who thought Darry hated him. who couldn't see how scared Darry was. how much he truly loved him. now. if we can agree that pony misinterpreted Darry. can we not believe the same for soda? pony who would forgive soda anythin. would forget when sodas' sudden anger was aimed at him. would forgive when Soda became impulsive to the point of harmin. soda. his golden. perfect brother. n of course he would. cause when you're convinced one brother hates you would you not be desperate to glorify the other?
#i just dont think we talk enough about soda who even pony admits can be 'wild n laughin one minute n blazin with anger the next'#soda whos never sure where the line is#isnt parented by darry like pony#untethered#always pushin for the next fight#the next race#the next thing to remind himself hes alive#to remind darry he aint just got one kid brother#but two#soda who is not inherently good#or inherently bad#but simply just is#is allowed to be angry n wild n sad n every negative thing pony will strip him of to keep soda#to keep him as the safe brother#the one whos love he never has to doubt#who is sanitary n mediary#n that doesn't make pony wrong or bad either#they are just kids#goin through more then a kid should ever have to#let them be flawed#let them be angry#the outsiders#ponyboy curtis#sodapop curtis#darry curtis

Sophus Helle, Gilgamesh — tablet X, line 55 Dead Boy Detectives (2024) — season 01, episode 07
#dead boy detectives#dbda#charles rowland#edwin payne#jayden revri#george rexstrew#dbdagifs#mygifs#myedits#dbdaedits#dbda and gilgamesh#once again i apologize to any babylonian sumerian or akkadian scholars in the fandom#i'm doing my utmost best#cross referencing like 3 different texts and 4 different dictionaries including ePSD#just to maybe get one cuneiform character right#and i'm less confident about this one than the last set that had cuneiform#anyway for those of you interested#the first gif has the word for “love”#which according to george (2003) was probably part of the word a-ram-mu-šú in line 55#love being râmu#and as far as i can tell that's a pretty strong word for love that sounds pretty damn romantic#and then in the second gif#it's the word for “sick” but i'm pretty sure in this context it's the word translated as “danger” and means a bit more like “troubles”#which again thanks to george (2003) is probably part of the word mar-ṣa-a-ti in this line#and sick/troublesome/difficult is marṣu#anyway i did all this research at like 1:30am so it's probably deeply flawed but whatever#it's a gif for a tv show#it can have incorrect cuneiform and the only one who really cares is me

I wonder if Illario is hurt by Lucanis not seeming to suspect him? If he's offended that Lucanis was so quick to accept he was an incompetent idiot rather than that he planned this? I wonder if Lucanis being so in denial that he treats Illario like he's genuinely the fool he's pretending to be is part of why Illario thinks Lucanis isn't Lucanis and is just a demon now? Because Lucanis would see through him. Wouldn't he?
The same way Lucanis is choosing to believe that Illario is stupid so he doesn't have to accept that Illario betrayed him, would Illario rather believe that Lucanis is dead and replaced by a demon than that Lucanis, the one person who was supposed to truly know him at all, genuinely believes he's an incompetent, careless idiot?
#I think a lot about how Illario must feel about Lucanis treating him like that#It's not new; he's condescending and dismissive of him in TWJ too#But it's been a year and Illario has been missing Lucanis that whole time and time does funny things to memories#It's been a while since he's been faced with the whole person flaws and all and not the memories he's been holding onto#Maybe he forgot just how much of Caterina had gotten into Lucanis before he died?#Illario Dellamorte#(Also I think Lucanis being a demon is the easier outcome for Illario.#If it's really Lucanis he has to choose between killing his cousin again; which he couldn't even do himself the first time#Or giving up everything and accepting that all he's accomplished is getting Lucanis tortured for a year.#If Lucanis is just a demon though then that milk is already spilled he doesn't have to cry about it.#Hell killing a demon impersonating Lucanis is even the right thing to do! It's what Lucanis would have wanted surely.#So I think that's also a huge part of why he'd rather believe Lucanis isn't actually Lucanis anymore.)

It is my sincerest and unironic belief that we must invest in preserving "old technology." The more we move to a hegemonic, easily-surveilled way of living, the worse we will find this world to be.
Letters, public phones and transport, cash, and so much more are key to ensuring both freedom of movement and information, but also to combat the surveillance state. We need to preserve the ability to both access the world but also to be untraceable. I truly hope more people start to recognize this. It isn't about nostalgia for the past. It is about ensuring that we are actually afforded freedom, from the richest person to the person who lives on the sidewalk.
#politics#i was ranting at my dad about how pissed i am that the US has essentially killed the payphone because we have smartphones#imagine killing letters because 'oough we have email though!!!'#i'm sure people advocate for abolishing mail (and i have seen it firsthand) but i don't agree with it#we must preserve freedom of movement and information and that includes making it as accessible and public as possible imo#i do not want to live in a world wherein my smartphone is both what i MUST rely on but it is also traceable 24/7/52/365#'if you're innocent you have nothing to hide' is a fucking cop-out to permit a surveillance state by the way#it is flawed logic and i think that logic is part of the reason we got to this point#'why do you need cash? that's kind of suspicious to not LET people trace your purchases' like come ON

i will forever defend these two- NOT to start discourse but they are both so heavily mischaracterized by the fandom its INSANE like omg yes they are flawed but they are also trying their best PLEASE leave them alone 🙏🙏🙏
as usual im yapping in the tags if anyone cares
#rose rambling#this is not directed at anyone#just some observations within the fandom ive noticed#i genuinely sympathize with jayce sm he may be making mistakes but he is trying his best under a stressful position#that he didn't even want to be in in the first place#there isn't a LOOT of people who are anti ekko or anything but he's genuinely so erased from fandom spaces#NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HIM and it makes me sad#or they completely mischaracterize him as this like emotionless stoic badass???#he literally cried during our first intro to him when he hugged vi but! sure!!!#but yea jayce and ekko are both of my favs#jayce is a problematic fav and ekko is an unproblematic fav who has done basically next to nothing wrong#jayce? hes flawed.#he killed a kid#hes classist#hes lowkey a capitalist#but he cares sooo much ab people around him and prioritizes viktor and mel over everyone else#even though everyone around him seems to only want to use him#and ekko? he was forced to grow up without the guidance of someone like silco or vander#he was ALONE when he built his safe haven#and he is so caring and emotional and SWEET and people just disregard so much of both of their characters#i could give character analysis' on both of them for HOURSSS#arcane#arcane theory#arcane ekko#ekko arcane#ekko#arcane jayce#jayce talis#jayce arcane#arcane jayce talis

♪ blue's theme - ALL OF THEM (mostly)
mr. character development's tangible rehab from a stupidly evil power hungry bastard who has committed treason against every country to an idiot pacifist with a zebra print fedora, a moped and a license to teach yoga
( note: the 'mostly' comes from two things; one, the very very first version of this song sucked, and two, there are versions that are mostly identical )
#dreamswap#fatal flaws#ds blue#music closet#music#audio#lucian lebeau#if you notice the granny piano version from that one post from december isn't here#I thought I made the granny piano version way later than I did#turns out it has the same exact instrument tracks as the evil childhood bedroom version. so it's actually older than I thought#so I just decided to leave it out. since they're basically the same#blue's journey from being mr evil to becoming a meme character#I'm pretty sure I haven't made this many versions of the same song… for any other character…

One of my biggest pet peeves is the justice league being labelled as " The Avengers of DC" and its like. No? The avengers are law enforcement. The Justice League are volunteers
#its like -- captain america is the staple of US military and Superman is a public servant#the one avenger member who has no bounds or legal obligation is tony and its bc hes rich. you could argue that he actually lost#autonomy when shield recruited him because like. protection isn't necessary tied to 'good.' the avengers protect the planet bc sure#its what they believe in and feel like its their duty and yada yada but ultimately they're self serving and most of their#help is accidental. i say most of bc we've seen they abstain from getting involved unless they have a common interest#with dc its like. you have these people in a position of privilege (having superpowers -- which gives them a spot of advantage to ppl who#dont have it) who do the right thing because they WANT TO. and they can stop at any time because nothing stops them.#they COULD say 'yeah you're on your own. we don't really care anymore. duces!' but they Dont.#because through its many flaws dc realizes that goodness isn't only a choice -- its a responsibility#theres probably better ways to say this but. alas#batman#superman#wonder woman#green arrow#aquaman#the justice league#tjl#justice league#dc#dc comics#text#text post

can Charles haters on tiktok please find new excuses to hate on him?? 😭😭
if i had a nickel for every time i heard about Charles raising child soldiers or creeping on Jean i’d be as rich as Charles 🤨
i’ve barely even read the comics but even i know there are MULTIPLE characters who have also raised child soldiers in the comics
and Jean and Charles’ father/daughter relationship is way more developed than something that was mentioned one or two times in the 60s (and onslaught mentioned it too (you’re really listening to onslaught of all people?))
like can you do some research into why you don’t like Charles instead of using the same old copy and paste excuse that everyone is preaching about on there 😭🤚
#sorry i’m getting frustrated because these people keep showing up on my for you 😭#would you look at that#a non-comic reader getting mad at other non-comic readers#i mean i’ve read a few comics to understand a few things but i don’t think that counts#i’m sure my pookie bear has more flaws that you guys could talk about…#like i want to hear about them i’m interested to know 😿#AND DON’T SAY CHILD SOLDIERS OR PERVING ON JEAN#idk why the “This is why I prefer movie Charles” people piss me off as if i also don’t have a favoritism towards xmcu Charles 🤨😭#strange…#charles xavier#professor x#xmen#xmen comics#xmcu#x men#wish does not shut up

hotel manager
#zeno's art#i'm not sure if i should tag the show itself as i'm not a fan but i guess its “fan”art so i will#hazbin hotel#charlie hazbin hotel#vivziepop#i was bored and wanted to draw something#my main goal here was to create a design that looked distinct and could (potentially) be moderately easy to animate#of course based on charlie's character i added as many angel images as possible through the hair and bowtie#(i know white on white is a character design sin but i wanted to show the angel wing detail ;w;)#also to express the personality and juxtaposition of a sweet devil her horns are supposed to curve into a heart shape#of course the garterbelts are upside-down/st peters crosses because of her satanic themes#i also tried to go harder into the goat theme but its still subtle i think#i actually think the goat theme is really interesting because of the story of the sheep and the goats in the bible#but i cant remember if it was actually something intended in her original design#i'm not going to draw anyone else so dont even anticipate that#this was basically a cooldown? ok i think i'm rambling now#goodbye#ok edit to say it clearly: i am not a fan of vivziepop or her work. i just wanted to redesign charlie as a cooldown/exercise for fun#because i used to be a fan of the character before i wised up about what vivzie had and has done#and before i matured and noticed the cracks and fundamental flaws in her works#so yea i dont support her at all and this redesign is critical i guess#also the reason why the tag “vivziepop” is there in the first place is so that anyone who has that tag silenced can scroll past#without seeing anything related to her work. in case that clears anything up#its the same reason why i tag “long post” and “food” and the like

I'm sorry, but the fact that Stan could have become just like his father but he still ended up being supporting and encouraging towards Mabel, Dipper, Soos and Wendy despite everything... I'm- I'm sorry but I love that man so much YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
#DO YOU SEE WHY I MADE THE STEPHANIE PINES AU??? DO YOU SEE WHY I'M WRITING THAT FANFIC???#my man saw the twins and he SWORE not to be like his dad#FATHERHOOD COULD HAVE HEALED HIM JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE MY MAN DESERVES IT!#see this is why i love stan#well. one of the reasons#he's flawed. that much is obvious. and yes he has some questionable morals. but when it comes to FAMILY.#that man doesn't hesitate to sacrifice everything just to make sure his family is safe. we've seen it time and time again#if he was a father you just KNOW he would make sure his kid has the necessary emotional support it would need#and he DEFINITELY. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would he throw his kid out for ANY reason#sorry for yapping but that old man has my heart#i want to hug him#i also want him to adopt me#which is weird because i have a healthy relationship with my dad#still want to hug him though#gravity falls#stanley pines#grunkle stan#dad stan pines

#she was supposed to be portrayed as a complex-#dark character dealing not only with depression#but with other mental issues etc#calling her 'pure & innocent' sounds so unrealistic to me#im sure she has flaws its what makes her so human ykno?#but the game refused to show it and im here to explore her character differently#ppl kinda boil her down to a cinnamon roll including me#but i'll admit shes probably one of the sanest characters llol#kate marsh#life is strange#my artwork#vent??#my headcanons

with how little relevance characters often have outside their introduction arc, its genuinely WEIRD how relevant tree constantly is. which is an odd criticism because characters should remain relevant after being established but in warriors it feels like blatant favoritism. i dont even dislike treee and i liked him a lot in tbc but its ODD
Mr. Gas Leak has a very distinct feeling (an odor, if you will) to me. It feels like he became so relevant because people were frustrated that he wasn't doing the Very Special Job they'd invented just for him back in AVoS, so the writing team tried to "respond to criticism" by making him show up all the time.
But like... that wasn't really the heart of the criticism. It wasn't a clamor to bring back Tree specifically. It was frustration that they would set up worldbuilding elements and then forget about them when they became inconvenient.
SkyClan's return, negotiator role, the border guard between the DF and StarClan, voting to oust a leader. We've gotten at least one (sometimes multiple) additions that threaten to shake up the status quo in every modern arc-- and then they're forgotten about or not used to their full potential.
In honesty though, the more he appears, the more I actively dislike him. I thought he was cool at first, I enjoyed the idea that SkyClan was going to bring some new dynamics to the politics at the lake. But every role he's had since his introduction has been insufferable.
I HATED how he absolutely refused to do his job in Squilf's Hope because of personal bias
I can't stand how the Sisters have been willing to help the Clans after their treatment in that book, and the constant narrative derision they get in spite of that
The fact everyone just forgot Tree existed in ASC until Nightheart said something was astonishingly bad writing. If I forgot about a major worldbuilding element like that I would be genuinely embarassed, not cutely lampshading it
Even the way he ended up "helping" when the narrative remembered him was annoying. Like, "Oh right! Having this role just grinds the action to a screeching halt! Instead of the Battle Cats doing Battles, they argue offscreen about things! Wow, this was a terrible idea to begin with!"
There are waaaay worse characters in WC, and I can't bring myself to hate him the same way I hate some others like Gray Wing. But boy, he has found his way down my list of "least liked WC characters."
#Im sure a finger is gonna curl on the monkeys paw but.#Ideally I kinda want him to get merc'd and set up plot tension#He is the kind of character who would be a fun victim for a murder mystery. Who would want the diplomat dead? Why does the killer want war?#Im sure theyd Find A Way to rustle my jimmies but i think id prefer if Rootspring was in these roles#He *gets* clan society better. Id really like to see his diplomacy get undermined by cats who resent him for introducing changes to the cod#Cat soap opera is better when there is soap to opera about#Owl Tree has a cool OC named Bean who is just everything hypothetically good about Tree being an 'outsider' but actually COMMITTED to#But imo? The 'best' negotiators would be Clanborn in a series capable of exploring the clans as flawed#Treating them as political entities just as capable of being influenced as any leader or deputy#Ramble ramble i dont like tree

intrigued by the idea that jayce dooms viktor to become the herald because he loves viktor too much to let him die. but mage!viktor could also choose not to save jayce from the storm in order to save himself from that fate, and yet he too loves too much to let go of jayce. endless cycle only broken by their choice to go together.
#lots of ppl recognize jayce's choice to fuse viktor to the hexcore for what it is (selfishness! loving flawed codependent selfishness! <3)#but few seem to really consider that viktor ALSO displayed that level of unfettered need to have jayce be around#future viktor sure but viktor nonetheless#i know its a time paradox yadda yadda but we're talking generally here in the wider scope of the narrative#its very poetic and bittersweet and beautiful and insane that they literally damn each other as opposed to live without each other#and yes i do think mage!viktors main motivator for saving jayce from the storm is because he wants jayce to save HIM. its abt the circle#idk if mage!viktor is all that concerned about the world really - on a superficial level yes obviously he comes to realize he's wrong#for 'liberating humanity from emotions' but theres more to it because jayce is so integral to his very being by that point#they have like infected each other with.... each other. they are inescapably haunted by each other#like mage!viktor had the same hellish experience that jayce did being touched by the arcane i think#lots of time to introspect and realize that actually the only person you need or really care about has been right there all along#as has been noted by others it was never about hextech it was actually just about Them changing the world#specifically Together#jayvik#arcane#.txt#still insane abt them yes thanks for asking
