Currently watching the Winchesters and I really think I’d like this show if it was about anyone other than John and Mary Winchester. Or maybe if I had some buffer between my latest supernatural rewatch which was a bit of a speed run

I really can’t stand John Winchester but I want to like this young John Winchester but like he’s so awful in supernatural

To be fair my hatred of John Winchester and general dislike of Mary was the reason I didn’t watch the Winchesters in the first place.

And well let’s be real Samuel Campbell sucked ass too so like maybe his being missing ain’t all that bad. Ok yeah well that is a nice supernatural season 1 mirror

Chapter One of Anger, Rage, Wrath

This is the best place to start for new readers of Jojo of Wrath.

Come let me know what you think! I’m one of those authors that spends most of their time lying face down on the bed thinking about their stories and wishing they had someone to talk to about them.

Be that someone. 🙇🏽‍♀️

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

As a video game enjoyer and a sort of content creator, I love, up and fucking down, that certain games give and stick to sexualities. Some games are kind of cowardly in the sense that they make someone bi instead of just gay, but that’s another matter. Dorian and Sera from dragon age are great examples of this concept. I can’t speak for the lgbtq representation aspect, but I think it is phenomenal that you can’t force them to be hetero. They were written gay and they stay that way. I can’t actually think of another game that commits this hard. So many games go for the pansexual or bisexual angle, but also make characters distinctly heterosexual. I do respect that, don’t get me wrong, Cassandra and Cullen are examples of people who are not gay in any way, and you can’t force them to be gay. they are straight and that’s that. It’s an aspect of character design that, while probably disappointing to certain fans, makes the characters feel more like real people with autonomy. My issue is that so many games are perfectly good with committing to the heterosexual bit, but not the gay one. I can’t think of any other way to phrase it???

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

Finn Wolfhard being #1 M*leven anti for the 9483716 time he’s so me

Listen to this man’s voice he sounds so bored when he mentions the letter and as soon as the girl’s like oh you mean the fake letter? where she’s pretending? he’s instantly going “yeah yeah yeah exactly yes yes yeah” verbatim and starts making fun of Mike’s disconnect with El 😭 I just know he was thinking thank god there are people who get the letters weren’t a cute romantic thing and he doesn’t have to go along with any fawning

I THINK it would be nice if Barry Allen got smacked into an Amity Park dimension and had to like. Figure his own way out. Get enough lose change to meet his dietary needs. Find somewhere to squat. Just this dude and his wits and his ability to be Totally Normal about whatever the hell is going on. Sure. Ghosts are real now. There's a portal...somewhere? In some family home downtown? Do they never shut it off...???

How hard would it be to, say, do a little recon...? He has to get back, duh, and this couple seems to have figured it out, so...

Meanwhile Danny has the abrupt realization that someone is occasionally in his house. What the hell kind of ghost is this.

Silly 15!skk comic that I sketched awhile ago and dont remember what compelled me to draw this

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.
