Gaslighter? I hardly know her!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin guangyao#qin su#The parallels to the mulderskully comic were genuine scripting coincidences that I kept in for the irony.#wwx and mulder both have a strong need to show their beloved (investigation) partner the cool thing they just found.#Much to their chagrin and concern.#For as much of a mess the plot gets in The Untamed...one of the things it does probably the best of all adaptions is setting up JGY.#specifically how we spend time getting to know him as a *Regular Guy* around our deuteragonists' age.#I love how he's present in the cloud recess arc! I was rooting for him as a character! The twist villain reveal felt so heartbreaking!#Here in the audio drama (for as much as it does well) we pretty much get 2 scenes tops with this guy before he's villain monologuing.#before this we know him as 1) the guy NMJ yelled at a lot 2) a suspect 3) leader guy Jin Ling was partially raised by.#The elements are there but but not with any particular depth to make him...interesting (in this version).#Sure we get to learn more after the fact but it just falls so flat in comparison B*/#ohhhh noooo the guy we are pretty sure killed a guy is gaslighting his wife and has a secret torture chamber. And he's a politician.#not much of a mystery to it all innit.#Feel free to disagree or bring up differing points btw; I love media analysis convos and this truly is just my opinion.

Your ZZL design means everything to me, I love it so much!
you can't say these sorts of things around him, he's not used to it! and if you're not careful, he might decide to repay your kindness...
#thanks so much (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)#zhuzhi lang#zzl#svsss#scum villain#i love him so much... sweet snake boy... he deserves hugs#character embodiment of ''he's a little confused but he's got the spirit'' much to sqq's dismay#i'm still only on book 3 so i don't know how his character arc will progress but at the moment i'm having SO many feelings about this guy#i want good things for him#my art#...actually this might be my new header because i never draw pictures that are more horizontal than vertical and i've been needing#something new for AGES#congrats zzl

hey gang i think we can talk about the misogyny in warrior cats without defending a character whos ONLY personality trait is "abuses disabled children"
#i feel like comparing her to most antagonists that people enjoy is a false equivalence because like#they do other things#literally the only thing rainflower does is abuse her disabled child#like if the ONLY thing hawkfrost did was abuse mothwing liking him would be sus as fuck#but uh. he was a major villain for like 3 arcs.#its more comparable to like. liking stormtail#when all he does is neglect his children and be predatory towards younger women#but i have never seen anyone stanning him?!?#if you want a mother with a complex relationship with her disabled child lets talk about millie#wc#warrior cats#rainflower

You like downtown abbey! I almost did not watch this show because frankly a bunch of rich people from early 1900s England did not interest much but the writing is so good and the characters so intereting that I was rooting for them by episode 2. Anyway. What prompted me to write this ask is: do you have any recs for shows/movie/book with great characters? The specifc genre doesn't matter much. I'm curious to know what media have your favorite characters (besides HP of course)
I do like the Edwardian rich people show! The bastards got me again. It's such an interesting period — I think that the early seasons are the best because you can see the writers are still trying to *say something* about Edwardian Britain, especially the decline of the class system in England during and after World War I. The whole war plotline is really great, some of the show's best writing, and it hits series heights when it's doing the initial aftermath stuff (also not coincidentally the season where they develop Thomas's character beyond 'evil gay footman.')
My favorite characters are scattered all over the place — off the top of my head, Wuthering Heights, Sense & Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Middlemarch, Brideshead Revisited, anything by P.G. Wodehouse; more recently, White Teeth, The Goldfinch, Atonement (book and movie), My Brilliant Friend, and Wolf Hall (books first, but also the TV show). In terms of straight movies, Chimaera was the most recent one that moved me deeply; also When Harry Met Sally, the Before trilogy, The Social Network, Inception, the Daniel Craig bond saga but ONLY Casino Royale and Skyfall and the 35 minutes of Quantum of Solace I actually like; The Royal Tenenbaums and The Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel, and basically anything Wes Anderson before he got too in his own head about shit; Downton Abbey for fun, The Sopranos for different fun, Mad Men for the most fun of all, and Better Call Saul but only in small doses, because otherwise I'll get brain worms and start crawling on the ceiling about stuff. So, uh. That's a start.
#thomas was the crown jewel of that show i'll say it now#he had the arc that mary deserved! i'll say it. and he deserved it but so did SHE#because he gets humbled but then they let him build his pride back up and they reward him#for trying to do better. and he doesn't just slide into everyone's good graces#and he fucks up a LOT#but he is trying and they do see that and reward him. and by the end of the series [spoilers]#[SERIOUS SPOILERS] he's finally reached a position where he feels he has respect and trust from the family#and then the movies give him this beautiful arc of discovering underground queer circles in early 20thc britain#and it almost feels like an apology from the writers for how they did early season thomas#like. yeah we fucked up and wrote a scheming secretive gay villain stereotype. how about we use the narrative to empathize with him#and have a full arc about him finding queer companionship and joy and knowledge he is not alone? would that uh. be better?#and reader. IT WAS!!#unfortunately we needed 3 seasons of bad tv that flattened mary and tom's characters to paper first.#BUT BABY THAT'S A PRICE I'M WILLING TO PAY

the fact that his final moments were spent thinking of his family, the people he loved most, while burning his literal heart out
#the dragon prince spoilers#the dragon prince season 6#tdp season 6#tdp spoilers#never mind the fact that his final words were ‘I am a servant’ as he sacrificed himself for his king and people#because his son asked him to#when the audience is first introduced to Viren he doesn’t seem like he’d be a redeemable villain#he was frigid and cold and could be cruel#but he basically speed ran his redemption to be a better person and father in season 5 and 6#and his character arc and world view shift after his dark magic coma made his sacrifice way more potent and impactful than just killing him#off as a villain in season 3#I think his death fit his story and character well and it hurt

casey also talks about sepang 2015 what do you think of that
oh in that podcast? uh... lemme listen again...
yeah idk it's not really anything new I'd say? he's said basically all the same stuff in more interesting and extensive ways elsewhere. I think casey inevitably has a very 'well feuding is bad and helps nobody' point of view, has expressed that before in the past, does it here again, and he's also drawn a parallel between himself and marc on several occasions. which... well, of course there's similarities in terms of public discourse or whatever, but the parallel really falls apart whenever casey argues the feuds cost valentino. like, I do think it's sometimes important to just. keep in mind. it's interesting that casey draws this comparison in his mind but that doesn't necessarily means he's right about this. I'm not sure how you'd argue that starting a feud with casey cost valentino anything competitively? you can argue it didn't help him I guess, and then we can have a debate about the ins and outs of the 2008 season. we can also have an argument that in a hypothetical world where casey isn't ill in 2009, valentino doesn't break his leg and casey isn't on a piece of junk in 2010, and valentino isn't on a piece of junk in 2011-12, then actually maybe valentino sparking open animosity with casey COULD have cost him. but we don't know that! didn't happen! I wish we could have found out, but we never got the chance! as it stands, the tally on this is pretty straightforward: casey won the title when things were reasonably civil between them in 2007, and valentino took control of the following season at the exact moment he worsened the relationship between the pair of them in 2008. obviously, it's all more complicated than that and casey would of course argue laguna didn't negatively affect his subsequent performances... but it certainly didn't help them. like, at the very worst valentino escalating tensions in 2008 is a complete net neutral. after 2009, them being bitchy to each other every other tuesday was completely competitively irrelevant beyond maybe affecting how they approached occasionally fighting for a podium position. hey, maybe casey used that feud to fire himself up through sheer spite throughout the later stages of his career, but that doesn't actually support his anti-feud stance - it's basically the exact same thing as what valentino does. they're both quite similar in that regard! always so hungry to prove a point, to show how someone else is wrong. kinda half the point with this feuding business is to get yourself going, get yourself motivated, yeah. he straight up openly admits to using yamaha's repeat rejection of him as a way of giving himself motivation, and at the end of the day that's really not all that different?
anyway, what else does casey say... oh yeah, that him and the other aliens were already kinda prepared for this and had learned vale's tricks. that valentino had only been able to get into the minds of the previous generation. welllllll *wiggles hand* sure, I mean, he did clearly have to change his approach... he couldn't just use the exact same playbook to get to them, either on-track or off-track. but that's why he did change up the playbook... again, whether you want to believe valentino won his final two titles 'in the head' rather than just through pure pace kinda depends on how you assess the evidence, but it is at the very least a debate. and, y'know, it's always worth remembering that valentino's most important mind games with casey didn't happen in a press conference... it was on the track. and the on-track stuff really is just embedded in how valentino approaches winning. speaking of aliens, this is what dani and jorge have said:
like, valentino's entire approach to his riding, even to the way he's setting his bike up, is deliberately about directly fucking with you... he's not actually always trying to be faster than you as much as he's trying to give himself the tools to make your life miserable, to pressure you into mistakes, etc etc... and again, especially with casey (if anything because he was so mentally sturdy), the off-track stuff was really just window dressing. (I know they bicker a lot after 2009 but it's just so fundamentally irrelevant to actual on-track competition.) so you can be aware of those tricks, but it also doesn't necessarily help you when someone's being nasty to you on-track in a way you just fully do not enjoy. which is what it was like for casey! for casey, a lot of this comes back to the truly unpleasant context of how he was perceived by the public, how he was treated as mentally weak or 'broken' or whatever partly because he had the misfortune of coming up against a bloke who had the reputation for breaking rivals. I think it's quite natural to end up with a bit of a hardliner 'actually I've never been mentally affected by a result in my life' stance - and of course casey is a lot tougher than a lot of people give him credit for. that being said. sometimes your rivals affect you, shit happens, it's part of the game. it's fundamentally a nice idea to think that valentino's tactics weren't just morally wrong but also ineffective, which is kind of the appeal of this narrative, right? you want to believe you're above that, you want to believe you were adequately prepared and wise to valentino's tactic. it's unsurprising and understandable that casey does tend to tell the story that way, but again it's *wiggles hand* also hard to describe it as completely factual
uh. what else. oh I'm thrilled casey does canonically know valentino and marc were friends, he has said he wasn't following motogp too much during that time period so you couldn't be sure of that. does this mean anything? does it tell you anything? well, no, but it's just a pleasing thought to me. I like that. oh also 'provoking particularly aggressive riders isn't a good idea' is kinda a funny take from casey? like, he of all people would hate the idea of being cowed by someone's reputation like that... casey's right that provoking fast riders can potentially be dangerous, but y'know I do think that's probably not news to anyone almost nine years later. um. that's all I've got I think
#i will say idm getting asks like this AT ALL but i do hope that's not like. the only bit of the podcast people are paying attention to#my thing with sepang 2015 takes is that like... when's the last time anyone has said anything genuinely interesting about that event#which yes big words from the feud blogger... but in fairness a lot of the sepang 2015 stuff is from old notes. that's my excuse idc#but that's kinda the thing... i feel like i haven't really had a new original thought about the whole drama for three plus years#u do kinda run out. basically the takes say more about the person saying them than about the actual event at this point#which. yeah. casey's comments on sepang '15 are primarily interesting in what they tell you about how he feels towards valentino#mind u he's actually quite nice about valentino in this one? casey call him let's finally organise that dinner#heretic tag#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#oh casey does go on another spiel against riders who win at all costs. ships that passed in the night of feuds i always say#also he gets the age he enters the premier class at wrong. i held myself back in the last post from pointing this out for tonal reasons#but if people want my podcast hot takes. i do simply have to mention it. just to set the record straight here#'they battle for podium places after 2009' genuinely. twice. like the alien era giveth but a lot of the time it really does just taketh#somewhat ironically casey wins the duel when he's on the shitty ducati and vale wins the duel when he's on the even shittier ducati#whatever that tells you idk#casey was always promising the laguna rematch would've gone differently and I love that conceptually but also we just don't know#he was like next time I WON'T play nice and it's like?? omg what does that look like. casey what were you cooking#for ethical reasons it's probably fine but for character arc reasons it's objectively ass that casey ended up being able to do all his -#- racing in a way he was entirely comfortable with for his second title in 2011. like it's just a complete waste of a year#you have this whole thing building for four years and then 2010 comes along and it's like. well that's enough narrative intrigue now! <3#also casey/jorge are fundamentally too interesting as individuals to have had such an obscenely boring on-track rivalry and yet here we are#it KILLS me because if you rearranged it and made valentino's dogshit ducati years like. 2009 or something#and do a straight title fight between jorge and casey THEN I genuinely think it would've been way more interesting#the problem with valentino is that he is fundamentally the WORST imaginable character you could invent to be casey's foil#literally everything about valentino could have been designed to be a casey-specific nightmare#but unfortunately that also makes him objectively the most interesting rival casey could have gotten#like morally it's on the edge. but narratively? literally could not have gotten a better villain in casey's story#constantly dancing on this faustian line of having to imitate valentino to beat him while trying not to lose yourself... juicy

So.. this absolutely wasn't meant to be posted AT ALL as it was supposed to be just another short doodle but
well.. um
yeah
have an additional sketch as well
#my art#felix#ocs#artists on tumblr#this was completely self-indulgent#this wasn't actually done with my normal set up but instead with a cheap tiny tablet and krita on another laptop#which was not meant to be used for a full piece#but i guess i got used to drawing on it after 200 doodle layers#but still i am highly unfamiliar with the program especially when it comes to coloring#but still! came out quite good ignoring all the things i sped through because again#wasn't meant to be posted#anyway this was inspired by a song i found like two days ago and to keep my motivation to finish this i listened to it for 3 hours straight#while drawing#it worked#also yeah it's the catboy he's the victim of my wrath atm#the context of this is that a hero had overworked his sidekick and a villain took advantage of it by lowkey mindcontrolling them :v#miraculous style#his temp theme is being eepy#in their villain arc the first thing they did was f*ck off for a month and get some proper rest#goals ngl#also the catboy keeps rotating his prononuns like rotisserie chicken and i think at this point i should just give up and go for any pronoun#this thang wasn't made to contain gender#and i keep writing catboy bcs catperson is a little bit awkward i think unless you're literally describing them#also catboy is funnier

rowan damisch truly makes like 1 decision and falls into *checks notes* 120+ years of suffering
#he decides to comfort an almost stranger while they die#and is rewarded with 4 months of murder training#8 months of more abusive murder training#like a year or so of solitude and doing righteous murders#captured by villain and killed over and over#escapes and get stuck on a sinking island when he dies in an airtight cube at the bottom of the ocean#revived after 3 years and kept in jail#busted out of jail by villain and almost executed#busted out by a different group who force him into doing less righteous murders#get out of that and get put in a shipping container of corpses for 4 days#reunites with gf who then dies in his arms#put on a spaceship and told she'll be revived in 117 years#arc of a scythe#bookshelf#these books are so funny#the characters just get dragged thru events over and over#but i think rowan has is worst#bc everyone hates him the whole time#and its super not his fault#this isnt even everything#this doesnt include volta and tyger#and his family#and faradays rejection#hes so emo and hes earned it#rowan: im gonna call myself..... LUCIFER#me: you sure are buddy have fun

if Blizzard ever decides to give Lifeweaver a villain-arc, I hope they make full use of his Messiah Complex
#like imagine the PAYOFF a villain arc from him would give us#here is a guy who grew up with privilege and saw what corporations were doing to the world and said 'couldn't be me'#then decided to make it his life's mission to 'heal our world'#from the very get-go in his ORIGIN video he's setting out to be a savior#he's not saying he'll do what he can Lifeweaver literally said 'I'm the savior'#would love to see this man shattered and broken#<3#lifeweaver#overwatch 2#niran pruksamanee#ow2
