#I just like the characters tbh. and a lot of the community

[funhouse-mirror-barbie]

Hazbin Spoilers/Briefly mentioned leak talk below:

I really wish we got to see literally ANYTHING more of Lute and Adam’s relationship other than them hanging out in heaven as buds, like, literally ANYTHING to hint that Lute has deeper feelings or that Adam treated her differently or did have a level of respect for her. But he really talks to her like he does all women (misogynistic-ly, yes I know he’s a “bad guy” but GOD do they love to harp on that a LOT) and other than them having out getting sodas, lute really does seem to just be like. His gofer? Like yes she’s his “second in command” but all we really see her do is stand next to him and agree with everything he says.

I’m not asking for full detailed backstories, but it would be nice to know even just a LITTLE more about what they’re like when it’s just the two of them.

Because the impact of Lute’s breakdown after Adam’s death is pretty severely lessened by not knowing much else about them other than that “they’re the bad guys”.

Like literally, this is the PROBLEM with writing one-dimensional villains and then trying to give them depth after the fact. If you’re going to have a one-dimensional villain who is just straight up evil, you kind of have to stick to the bit. Otherwise you get this tonal whiplash where Lute and Adam were mostly INSANELY unlikeable (by design, it seems!!) then suddenly it’s revealed at Adam’s death that they REALLY CARE FOR EACH OTHER and now the audience is expected to empathize with Lute.

And hey, props to the animators and voice actress b/c I DO, but tbh that’s because I can see the potential for what she could’ve been with the right establishing characterization and development. That, and I really like characters that are black/white in their thinking and struggle and/or fail to accept the world in greys, so I’m kinda pre-dispositioned to like Lute now I guess.

A lot of what I spoke about in regards to liking Emily more than Charlie when episode 6 came out now applies to Lute in some ways. Her culture and the worldview of the people around her and in her community is changing, but instead of really reconciling or accepting this she’s fighting against it full-force.

And that’s a really interesting concept to explore. Sadly, I just don’t know if the writers will have the time or the skill to explore it effectively.

I'm sorry for such a late reply to this.. I just completely forgot..

I remembered but then I forgot QwQ jsnsnxnxnxnnxnz

So you're absolutely right about everything 👏

Like everything you said is true..

And I completely forgot that Sun definitely felt useful when he taught Nexus star's power especially cause also Nexus treated Sun like a teacher then..

But yeah it had to be so devastating to Sun that Nexus used this power to hurt their sister..

How could I not notice that QwQ

And yeah you're right that some younger viewers definitely lack critical thinking but tbh I met some adult fans who imo seemed less open to any discussions than younger fans..

Cause like many of my tsams friends are minors - many who I consider friends 😅

And I think that they're really smart and more understanding about the complexity of characters than some adult fans..

But that's just my experience xbbxbdbxbxbxbbx

But I agree with you on everything 👏

And also yeah Sun definitely feels like he forced Nexus to bring Solar back.. and also he blames himself for not trying to make Nexus open up more..

But people really need to understand that how it was dupo to be easy to Sun to talk with Nexus about anything when Nexus rarely talked with Sun about anything..

Yeah he helped Sun with hallucinations but it was that one time and it was so long ago..

They really didn't talk about much stuff and I think that it was mostly because Nexus hated talking about Moon.. but at the same Sun needed to talk with Nexus about it..

Solar showed a lot of understanding towards Lunar's trauma caused by Eclipse's abuse..

But Nexus couldn't do the same for Sun.. and I think that this is what caused them to be so aparat.. because once again lack of communication ✨✨

Dbbxbxbbxnjxnxnnfnc

For the love of all that exist they can't communicate with each other QwQ

TW RANT - I may come off as rude here so I'm sorry in advance but people being too mad at Sun for everything that happened to Nexus just start to annoy me a bit especially when they act as if Sun basically abused Nexus

Sun doesn't need any excuses for how things were with him and Nexus at the beginning cause for what reason?

Sun never compared Nexus to Moon..

Nexus felt this way but if he cared to listen to Sun he'd understand that he was mistaken..

Because all Sun tried to say is that he doesn't want Nexus to do everything by himself while he's sitting there doing nothing just like it was with Moon..

Because at the time when Sun decided to be conduit for star's power Nexus was already taking care of everything by himself while Sun was doing nothing..

Just like it was with Moon..

It wasn't okay for Sun to lie but it wasn't okay for Nexus to yell his head of at Sun and refuse to listen to him and refuse to understand why Sun did what he did..

I wish to say something about people who defend early Nexus but I'll refrain myself cause I don't want to start any drama..

"nothing can excuse Sun for mistreating Nexus" it's a hella weird hill to die on..

Because what mistreating? The one Nexus made up in his head? And he never even cared to communicate with Sun and by that I mean that he also let Sun speak up and only yell "Me, myself and I" because that's not how communication works..

And what excuse? What y'all on about?

Sun apologized every time for when Nexus expressed being hurt..

But Nexus didn't care..

Or oh wait no.. Nexus just is too much of a coward to admit that he was afraid that Sun will die..

Why he never try to talk with Sun about anything..

Because he was a coward..

And now he chose hate.. because hating is easier..

The only wrong thing that Sun did was that he lied to Nexus.. but ofc is so good to held one mistake over someone's head forever, right?

As if Nexus never did any mistakes..

And ofc Nexus was worried about Sun well-being but he also actively pushed him away and was neglectful towards him..

But no one cares how it made Sun feel because apparently only poor Nexus' feelings are the most important thing..

gyat damn it dude, I joking called my friend's drawing Peter (cause he had a round head) and bro said he was gonna play me a video going over the allegations of Fuboo and her fucked up husband????

Gasleak year aside, I want to thank season 4 for giving us as much trobed content as it did. I mean, we got Jeff and Britta referring to them as boyfriends. We got Conventions of Space and Time. We got Basic Human Anatomy. We got the puppet episode and every post ever about it is just "yeah, Abed had a secret and he said he's in love with Troy". It showed that Britta and Troy didnt work as a couple and broke them up. We got "you were out there and you weren't looking for me?". It was trobeds season

tbh one of the things that always jars me in otome games is when i remember the mc has like a Canon Appearance and i see them in a cg im like. oh. maybe this character wouldnt like me actually bc i am Way Bigger Than This Bitch

Slight design update ive been putting off for Ozzy Kozmic so that he represents current me a bit better. Would love to hear what you guys think of this update and if you prefer this design or the original

[giantisms]

[motherfuckingbrad]

never understood why people think the 4th season of community is the worst when geography of global conflict is literally in season 3

[averlym]

Bulk anon wannabe

I have unsurprising news

[famewolf]

if im being honest and allowing myself to vent a bit about it ... another red flag was when the DM went 'wow i love the detail of your backstory but idk what i can do with it tho ):'

[blobbei-art]

I recently archived all of the old art on my DeviantArt accounts I still have and 14 year old me actually was onto something with pixel art?

Also I dearly miss the experience of this Team Rocket Roleplay(ish) DeviantArt group I joined 2015/16. Having a public group where your OCs just exist very close to one another/live together so you included each other a lot. Very good times!

I hope all these people with their edgy Pikachu OCs are doing good out there nowadays.

Hmmm, who would be the opposite? Not necessarily hypermasculine but like, the most into conventional masculinity in a non repressedGNC way?

i had a huge reply drafted for this ask and then i was like “damn i don’t think abt fashion enough to answer this” lol

N E WAY, you see anon (sorry for the late reply btw). it’s like. i don’t really understand fashion as this thing that you Think A Lot About And Use It To Express Who You Are. it seems very time-consuming and exhausting to my shrimp brain. that being said, i can imagine characters who possess enough Funky Flavour to have it in them to Experiment with Garments, or to perhaps wear Unique Clothes just because it makes people go >:O! so, let’s say, wwx or xy, i think mxy is also canonically implied to at least have something Going On with the way he chooses to present himself, although i’m not sure if it’s more “fashion statement” or “gender presentation” than “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK YOU ALL PEOPLE”. and ljy, because ljy is great and i love him.

but then. but then i have characters who i cannot imagine Caring About Fashion, painstakingly picking out clothes to Reflect who they are inside, and in this group we have for example mr lwj who, as i have seen when i cared about wgxn a bit more, has been kindasorta chosen by the fandom to be Fashionable and wear Fancy and/or gnc clothes which. is very much the opposite to how i see him, because lwj imo doesn’t have anything he wants to communicate to the outside world via his clothes. if he had, he would be a different person. his clothes have to be durable, comfortable and pleasing to the eye, yeah, but not exactly “making him the most noticeable person in the room”. so i guess he does qualify for someone who sticks to the conventional masculinity, mostly out of habit and because he feels comfortable in it.

the same rule applies to lqr and nmj, with an addition that they would... feel almost offended by the suggestion that they could wear anything else than things Standard and Masculine-Adjacent because like, what? rainbow neon colors? a dress? this is ridiculous and attention-seeking. i’ll have my good quality durable and comfortable pants and shirts, please and thank you. lqr leans slightly towards “and also it should look Appropriate”, and nmj towards “associating the concern for Aesthetics with his silly brother who really should calm down and get this rubbish out of his head. who gives a fuck if i’m wearing brown shoes with black clothes. they’re just fabrics?”.

i could list more and more characters and reasons why, but i don’t really feel like it, since the list would actually be long as fuck. obviously, if it was a Thing in a fanfic, i could accept a lot, on the condition that -- like everything else -- it’s justified in-universe and doesn’t clash with how i see the characters. it’s physically impossible for me to accept or even imagine lwj going out clubbing or seeking one night stands or being a hashtag fashion king (or having a... social media account that he uses to Socialize... lol). i’m also *tilts head dubiously* at the idea of gnc nmj, simply because it leans too much into the fan-favourite laid back Chilldude Nice Mingjue who’s Dealt With His Problems. i don’t see jgy approaching anything outside his basic elegant and appropriate but not too eye-catching outfits, but it’s less because of his actual Deep Inside preferences and more because uhhh His Position Would Suffer and he’s not really interested in that, etc, etc.

i’m afraid that wasn’t really an interesting answer. sorry!

I’m watching this show & there’s an older transfem nonbinary character that’s dating a dad of a 13 y/o nonbinary kid, and I’m on the episode where the kid meets the partner for the first time. and the kid is on my nerves with the typical Kid Hates Dads New Partner shtick. And like I get it when kids have a hard time with parents dating. but because of my own experience with queerness and unaccepting family I’m Annoyed cause iTS GIVING PRIVILEGE!!! Like oh my god if I was in that position I’d be so fucking excited!!! This awesome older queer nonbinary person starting to come into the family, wanting to get close & bringing more older queer people around too!!! That’s so fucking cool!! like God I Wish That Were Me!!!!

Hi! Played further. On a field trip now in the market town. Fought a dinosaur, that probably should not have surprised me. Had to get uhhh, an Imperial Carrot from a farmer for the priest. My team commented on its color and versatility. Good times. Alicia(?) finally stopped being openly hostile about that one time when SHE fell boobs first on my face, yay. Also learned that Malfoy's, i mean Jusis's dad's a shitty governor. Watch watch watch? *.* Love, TA

Ah, the Celdic Field Study. The first of many, in which our troupe of troublesome teens gets themselves into. Well. Trouble.

SCARY DINOSAURS YEAAAA expect to see those guys again. They're a staple beasty in Trails

Carrots are versatile. And tasty. Especially in stew. Mmm carrot

Ahh yes Alisa. Baby tsundere. Allergic to admitting she's wrong and gets snappy at the first hint of vulnerability. No Rean didn't do anything wrong, yes it took her weeks to get over it, this is normal.

Ah, yes, Jusis's father... you learn more about him and his family on the next field study. Which, incidentally, is one of my favorite chapters in the whole series. That sequence is just. Gold.

Anyways, I have dinner and therefore time, so I'll get in an episode before I have to go to bed!
