I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."
I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.
Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.
Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.
#anyway this is just more of that lefty shit where 'well i can't be racist because i'm gay!'#'well i can't be media illiterate because i love villains!'#not how that works babes#'well I KNOW bad from good so i can't be affected by media!'#'everyone else also knows bad from good and defines it the exact way i do!'#'so if i think this is bad then the author must also think this is bad!'#i have bad news ....#also how do you know bad from good? who taught you that? hmm?#did you fall out of the womb knowing? or did you pick up some things on the way here?#'i just know' no you don't! that's what i'm saying!#assuming one thing is always true is the opposite of being a conscious consumer of media soz#assuming someone thinks and knows the exact same shit you think and know is not media literacy!!

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#dungeon meshi spoilers#better drawn mdzs#(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out!#Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals.#I had a blast with the symbolism for this one:#White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness.#Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death.#'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same.#The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories.#And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up.#It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again.#Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

thinking about the tower princes again. girl worst friends. theyâre so miserable iâm obsessed
#tlt#the locked tomb#ntn spoilers#my art#i'm really into the tlt trend where a character must spend the absolute worst era of their lives in a strange new environment with#ianthe tridentarius as their sole ally and confidante.#i've been calling it 'stuck in the middle with ianthe' and i think it should continue.#also i enjoy how the whole imperialism squad (john ianthe kiriona) are all having a horrible time. a well of misery every one of them.#ianthe still got stuck with paperwork & babysitting duty though. so if she wants to kill someone next book i will be supporting her.

cannot stop thinking about a romanced Lavellan being the default world state. it seems like no big deal at first until you realize that itâs the world state that all new players to the franchise will use. it is the world state they chose for people who are brand new to the world and its characters. itâs the world state they chose to get new people invested in the world. whatever happens in that world state isnât just for us, who have been eagerly waiting, but is significant enough that they want every single brand new player to see it, to experience those scenes. i need to lay down
#i imagine itâs because it will humanize solas the most#but itâs even interesting that they chose that#like they want brand new players who have never met solas and are going to watch him stab Varric#TO ALSO SEE HIM BE PATHETIC AND IN LOVE??????#THEY WANT SOMEONE BRAND NEW TO THE GAME TO SEE THE DREAD WOLF PINING LIKE A DIVORCED DAD????#THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT SOMEONES INTRODUCTION TO HIS CHARACTER TO BE?????#im so gagged IM SO GAGGED#itâs especially interesting because imo the default inquisition world state is suuuuuper boring#no Kieran no Alistair/loghain#so for them to make possibly the messiest and most drama filled world state the default!?!?#there must be something so good in there#solas#veilguard spoilers#solavellan#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#da:tv spoilers#da:v spoilers

"Do me a favor and put your arms around me."
#ocs#original character#npcs#for#masks: a new generation#ruth and tony#antonio salvo#tony salvo#ruth blum#i did psychic damage to myself earlier imagining what their worst argument was like before they got divorced#the really nasty kind of arguments where you know just what to say to hurt someone. and you want to hurt them.#anyway then i needed to draw something cute and nice to soothe my soul#we're good#anyway#when ruth was using tony to get an annoying ex off her back#and tony was there to return a book to her. and just to see her.#tony very unused to physical contact because he thinks his super strength will break everything/anything/anyone so he pushes people away#but then!!#oh yeah#superheroes#true strike#truestrike#masks: overlook#masks: overlook city#thumbs up at overdeveloping npcs so they can properly pass their trauma down to the younger generation#went too long without drawing again and now i must pay the price

I canât stop thinking about Loop. Imagine doing everything, anything, to get out of a traumatic situation but the price is you. Your body is gone, your name is gone, your family doesnât recognize you, you feel like most of your memories of them are gone too anyway. Suddenly youâre denied your identity. Itâs like YOU never existed⊠and someone else took your place. You, whose biggest fears are forgetting and being forgotten in turn. You, whoâs hesitant to change and now youâre forced to. You canât even really blame anyone else because you did get your wish, right?
Itâs explained clearly in the game, but the implications of it just hit me extra hard sometimes. Siffrin is as much of a study of Loop as Loop is of Siffrin. They share(d) their fears too so mal du pays words essentially becoming the truth to Loop is just⊠đȘšđȘšđȘšđđđđ„đ„đ„đ„
What do you do when all you have is ripped from you, all your worst fears come true, and youre forced to just⊠come to terms with it?
#isat spoilers#isat loop#2hats spoilers#shaking you by the shoulders#i love siffrin and loop so much#ââwkbââ consider: i am new and also stupid#yes ive KNOWN but i didint really GET it yk? like how horrifying losing you self is#they make me die#postgame loop makes it hit extra hard bc ppl are partially defined by their experiences#the longer siffrin and loop exist as separate the more they diverge#that must be TERRIFYING. to an extent to both of them#of course theyâll always have many similarities as they started as the same person but like#loop is just despair au siffrin#<- specifying postgame fics that explore loops identity bc canon had them fade out#which i love btw delightful angst i love everyones takes on loop#in stars and time#isat#i think genuinely in Loopâs shoes as someone whoâs also hesitant to change: if I didnât cry 24/7#iâd be clinging into who i was and still want to be in some ways. but as iâd heal iâd probably want to be distinct#like im me and always will be me but i want what i experienced to not be a footnote. i dont want to be a mirror#âââi am who that family loved but im also someone newââ yk? its so hard to battle with those two opposites of ââim []ââ & ââim not YOUR []â

nightmare viewing the murder time three as little toys but more in like a little spoiled kid kinda way. because it would be funny and if you take into the account that he was like 6 before getting corrupted and do some mental loopholes it would be even funnier. like these are his dolls (killer dust and horror) and this is their barbie dreamhouse (his castle). they all have to stay in one room because nightmare needs to keep his toys in a toy box. the toys only ever come out when he wants to play but oh damn it they keep on breaking out!! silly toys,,, and then he locks them into the room again.
nightmare serves them food with plastic tea cups and plastic plates and there is no food. there is no tea. they have to imagine the food because dolls can't literally eat. there are food containers and stuff in the house but its all just a bunch of empty boxes. horror starts tweaking out after he scavenges the kitchen and finds a cereal box and milk carton that have NOTHING in it (why keep empty boxes?????)
they have to go where he wants them to go. nightmare gets to dress them up in whatever he wants because theyre his dolls they can wear anything he wants. it gets incredibly embarrassing when the trio is forced to wear pink pretty dresses and fight like that. or they have to go around the castle doing stupid fucking roleplays and it gets weird because theyre being forced to reenact a bullying scene and nightmare's giving them the death stare if they don't get it right (is this projection. this must be some form of coping mechanism dust theorizes)
and then you know nightmare's not exactly the best toy owner so he loses a few of his dolls here and there. maybe they get destroyed when he was playing a bit too rough with them! (killer dies in battle for like the 29th time) but its okay because he can just go back on down to the store (something new) and buy. wait no. steal another doll and then put it back in his dreamhouse and BOOM he has a full set again!! so sweet so cute. his dolls don't have consciousness what are you talking about theyre begging to be let go?? that's all just your imagination. what do you mean you're asking about the several slowly dying bodies with removed arms or legs in his dungeon. oh that's just where the broken but not yet destroyed toys go dw theyre fine its humane
#toy story but evil#imagine nightmare dresses the trio up in dreamtale esque clothes and then forces them to pretend to be his parents#because the stupid shit grew up parentless and now that he has dolls he can just roleplay that now#or he could just make the trio roleplay as a family. one parent two children. huh i wonder where i've heard this before#he's still like totally smart with all the multiversal plans and conquering and manipulation and all that#just that he's still got a bit of childish charm in him yk.đ„șđ„șđ„ș he's sweet and cute đ„șđ„șđ„șđ„ș#killer says as he tries not to go insane from being stuck in a room with dust amd horror for weeks on end#nightmare has no sense of boundary for the trio because theyre just little toys for him#if he wants them to change clothes he strips them because dolls cant change by themselves#if he wants them to move a specific way he maneuvers them because dolls cant movs on their own#nightmare's messing around and has all his dolls in the splits because who hasnt done that#dust and horror are in so much pain. killer just feels humiliated#these are GROWN MEN you are objectifying here nightmare. LITERALLY objectifying. but irs okay its funny#dadmare but instead of nightmare being the dad he's the kid. while also simultaneously having all the power#this would go for a sick ass plotline if someone made a fic for it#it aint gonna be me đ€Łđ€Ł but like.... trio has to convince nightmare to stop treating them like goddamn dolls#and nightmare has to change his stupid little kiddy mentality while also they all have to just get on better terms in general#so stupidn so dumb. would the mtt hate eachother during all this. quite possibly#three crazy freaks trapped in one room for unknown amounts of time. homoerotic arguments must have occured#they must know stuff about eachother that they don't wanna know. they all know what they look like naked#nightmare is the leading cause of mtt deaths because he just doesn't know how to properly handle his toys#oops he says as he accidentally breaks horror's neck and dust and killer watch on. guess its time to get a new one!#and he gleefully skips off to horrortale while dust and killer are left with the dusting beheaded body. what a fun time#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#nightmare sans#murder time trio#bad sanses#tricule rant

I have seen a LOT of discourse about the finale so here is my final opinion on it: I Liked it I thought it was Very Bad
#shut up patrex#it made no sense at times the resolution was bad#but also: i dont care it was bad I had fun i like that Ruby is not an Important FigureTM it worked for me a lot#the real mom thing was trash but since rtd apparently already said Ruby was Wrong when she said that sure im willing#to give that plot its time#the ms floods thing lmao I love we still dont know actually! Keep us bitches guessing#I had FUN!!!!!!#Memory TARDIS is a Banger Mel was awesome 15 MY BABY 1555555 my princess with a disorder!!!#the only real COMPLAINS I have now and they are actually a rtd2 problem#is the militarization without any push back or criticism of UNIT and russy for the love of god let new people write episodes#<- this coming from someone that really likes rtd and moffat#Must Doctor Who be Good? Isnt it enough that Im having fun?

The poor quality songs releasing solely on Spotify with no rhyme or reason to themâŠliterally all other EAH and Mattel social media not saying anything about itâŠAllison Bloom not knowing what the hell is going onâŠMATTEL THEMSELVES CALLING THE SONGS AI GENERATED???
#sid rants#ever after high#literally what the hell is happening#cuz another thing is like#hypothetically someone DID hack the eah spotify (i donât think thatâs what happened but letâs pretend)#whoever was responsible for the spotify must still have access to it right?#if there WAS a hacker they have posted 3 songs in 3 weeks and fans have been kicking up a fuss#so surely mattel or whoever would have gotten the news and taken action#if this was not them doing it#itâs their account. even if they canât take the songs down they can at least release a statement saying âhey it wasnât usâ#but weâve just gotten NOTHING#itâs so bizarre

i've just seen another post asking what the gender neutral or nonbinary word is for "sir" or "ma'am" and i'd like to put forth "em" as a solution.
"sir" comes from sire, "ma'am" comes from "madam." "em" then, comes from "eminence" as in "will that be all your eminence?" or "will that be all em?"
it's short and quick to say, like both sir and ma'am, and it's gender neutral and stems from a word denoting nobility like both sir and ma'am
#lgbtq#nonbinary#enby#language#linguistics#i put this forth because currently there really ISN'T one#people are saying to just use 'please' or to use 'friend'#and a bunch of other suggestions that also either don't address someone (like just dropping it)#or don't work in formal situation (like using hon or darlin)#and don't really address finding a one to one solution#and then the joke entries which are fun the first three times but after a while#(and it's been a WHILE like at least over a year if not longer that ive been seeing these posts circulate)#it's like just very tiring#yes yes we're going to call people your highness at our service jobs very funny very funny#also if the price tag fell off the item must be free then ha ha ha see how im laughing#anyway i think em would work well as a new honorific if it can get over the hump of its own newness what do you all think?
