#I have made this exact post before. I will make it again

[angelpuns]

I have a sudden craving to work on L330-N again....but if I do I can't work on Kid Leo or Lil Hater...I can't work on all 3 at once..oofed

One of the issues with working on L330-N is that 1- it has backgrounds. That's a lot more work than Kid Leo and takes a lot longer.

2- I wanted to do a Chapter 1.5 in which its a look at the past, but I don't have designs for everyone finished quite yet. So that makes it more difficult to work on.

I think I will go ahead and sketch the next arc in preparation for when I take my break from Kid Leo, which is gonna be liiiiike after the next chapter I think?? I don't remember when exactly but yeah.

I think I will not do the flashback just yet cause I'm just not as interested in drawing that. Idk just thinking thoughts and rambling, nothing completely solid yet!

I feel like I've made this exact post before so apologies if I have :)

i generally dislike gortash's stupid coat (and you can probably tell from the fact that i removed a lot of details every time i've drawn him lol) but i do like the stupid little masks because they make me think of greek tragedies and the opening lines of cors de chasse by apollinaire (english, scroll down a bit) which is one of the most beautiful poems of all time in my opinion

no promises anymoooooreeeee i'll appear online when i appear online 😭 every time i say "ooh i think life is almost done being overwhelming!" it. becomes even more overwhelming in the dumbest ways. all i can manage rn when i'm not stressing myself into a shut-down state is staring at the wall while listening to youtube essays + mindlessly crocheting.

i might queue up ppls art and fics w/o commentary in the tags... i want other ppl to see what all of my cool friends have made, but i genuinely can't think right now with this monstrous brain fog. i'm really sorry, just. yeah. maybe i'll think of some way to make it up later!!! once the dust has settled!!!! but until then i wuv u and miss u. smiles.

[venting in tags including familial manipulation and ableism. i. didn't mean to write all of that, thiss was originally going to be a main blog post but. aaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

Adventure Time is actually pretty interesting in its format cause it's right inbetween modern-day cartoons where there's usually A Season Or So Of Filler/Character Building and Then The Plot Picks Up and older cartoons where there was NO plot and it was just Characters Having Internally-Consistent Hijinks every episode.

Which makes sense, since iirc AT was what kinda spawned the modern-day format in an era where cartoons did NOT have plot.

But the thing is? Unlike modern ones, AT never really "picks up" and has a cohesive plot. It get heavier and has internal arcs and does have an overarching message and story, but there's not really a point where "okay this is where the plot begins" so you really do have to just sit back and enjoy the ride and let everything unfold. The payoff is GREAT. But it's very slowburn and that makes it feel like one of its kind.

i once saw someone say "it would've made more sense for tai to be the other tai during 2x08 since she was so against what they did in 2x02 after she woke up" and it still bothers me today actually. because tai is absolutely capable of thinking pragmatically.

we have no real proof that she would've still gone along with the feast in 2x02 if she was awake, but given the fact that everyone else fell into that mass hysteria, it's likely she would've regardless -- the big scare with her reaction is the fact that she did something like that without agency over her body. that's what was so scary. she's already been terrified of what she's capable unconsciously, and now she finds out that she cannibalized her friend without any memory of that. that's terrifying!! think about the awkward silences everyone else experienced the moment after because they didn't know how to respond to what they did, and then pair that with not having memory of it at all, tai's reaction was valid. "i wouldn't," she said, but they all did, and they all likely would've said the same thing before they were in the moment. tai wants to believe she wouldn't do something like that because she is in the aftermath of having done something without giving herself permission / with something completely taking over her actions / motivations / etc. and that's still scary to her, as someone who is desperate to be in control.

and re: this take, just the basic idea that tai hasn't developed her own thoughts since 2x02 is frustrating considering we literally see her actively come to understand it during her conversation with akilah (who, as i've said before, is the driving force in most of her season 2 narrative - without akilah, there's a lot of development that likely would have never happened / a lot that tai couldn't have understood without her guidance.) akilah can tell that tai needs the justification, she needs something to ground her and remind her that what they've done was necessary for their survival. she looks at tai, she sees an opportunity, and she adds, "i guess i'd kind of do anything to see him again, you know?" which wasn't actually about her nephew; it was about telling tai it's okay to do these things because we have to, because that's how we get home, and that's when it clicks for tai. we literally see it click for her and she starts to reflect.

so of course she comes to that conclusion in 2x08, of course she's the first person to say "we need to find a way to stay alive," ultimately leading them to the choice they eventually make. because she's pragmatic. and it doesn't always have to be other tai calling the shots for our tai to be pragmatic or to think logically about their survival.

other tai wants to take care of her, she wants to run the show, she wants to be the fixer + do what needs to be done. but tai actively making these choices on her own after the fact, after being against what the other tai did for her before, is important and gives us a lot of clues about other tai's actual motivations. every single time tai does something we might deem bad in civilization doesn't mean that it's other tai calling the shots. they are all capable of doing these things and so is our tai.

Listen I’m sorry but I refuse to believe that the reason cole couldn’t see his reflection was because he’s going to die young. If you guys want to do that you can but I won’t be participating he lives a long and happy life and dies when he’s old and wrinkly trust me :)
