Normalize making your good guys poc and the bad guys white bc that's honestly how it is irl
white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer
#I'm just saying#big hero 6#LITERALLY did it#and it was more accurate and impactful than if the bad dude was just a generic poc man bc big corps can't draw curls worth shit#i mean look at Tiana#the only time she was allowed her hair down was YEARS LATER after her movie came out#learn how to draw poc hair. learn how to avoid stereotypes. and yeah. you're allowed to write people who aren't your race#that's how we get diversity.#the amount of OTHER WHITE PEOPLE “correcting” us on how we suddenly can't write poc bc it's “racist”????#YOU DO REALIZE IT'S MORE RACIST NOT TO HAVE THEM RIGHT???#poc are allowed to have cool powers and be excited and childlike#they're allowed to have their own character quirks and be a little bit rude without being the villain#they're ALLOWED TO BE PEOPLE DAMNIT#stop being weird about it#do the work.#stop trying to rework stereotypes that are made to be harmful#anyways if anyone needs me I'm going to go watch Big Hero 6#and probably The Dragon Prince#and if anyone else has some other recs with poc leads i am absolutely open to them#please give me your recs#i beg#thank you

Ok because I'm musing about the three other crewmates in the discovery I just remembered one of the most fucked up scenes in the book.
In contrast to the movie, Dave actually tries to revive his hibernating crewmates after Frank dies. Whitehead, or Kimball in the film, is the first that Dave starts to defrost. Right when Dave thinks he sees Whitehead starting to gain consciousness, Hal opens the pod bay doors and suffocates everyone (except Dave, obviously).
Earlier in the text, Dave talks about his time in the hibernation pod and how it's like sleeping more than anything else. However, the book also describes Dave waking up completely disoriented and scared of his surroundings.
Now imagine Whitehead just barely gaining enough consciousness to recognize Dave, thought returning, being confused and sluggish, only to get immediately suffocated and die.
I think about that a lot.
#2001 a space odyssey#2001: a space odyssey (Novel)#dave bowman#Hal 9000#J.R Whitehead/Kimball#Like thats fucked up right?#Like at least in the movies Hal just turns of their life support and they die in their sleep#Book Hal is kinda brutal not gonna lie#Again not a Hal hater#i'm just saying#Miller says a thing

endings that are better for dean than dying young and bloody:
opening a bar (as shown to be a fantasy of his)
opening a gay bar (my preferred ending)
working with kids, potentially at a home like sonny's
working as a mechanic, eventually specializing in vintage cars
becoming the new bobby, helping the next generation of hunters
being a stay-at-home dad with his husband castiel as the breadwinner (cas doesn't work either he just steals money from rich assholes using his powers and calls it being a breadwinner)
(he's with cas for all of these btw in case that wasn't obvious)
spending like a good decade traveling the world via angel express and enjoying his retirement from hunting
becoming a rock star with a cult following, a significant portion of which love sharing around conspiracy theories that he's actually a serial killer who faked his own death and started fresh with a new identity (no one seriously believes this)
becoming a sheep herder (it's the closest thing to a modern-day cowboy he can get. he gets to wear the hat and everything)
moving to hollywood and becoming an actor under the pseudonym jensen ackles
becoming a successful writer purely to spite chuck, outselling the supernatural series easily and receiving rave reviews for his refreshing style and devastating depictions of childhood trauma and breaking the cycle of abuse
building a space ship and searching the galaxy for intelligent life
literally anything other than what happened on the show

You ever think Dick overhears someone say Jason was the most violent Robin and just gets so mad about it?
And it's not even about like, defending Jason's honor or anything. It's purely because he's just so incredibly insulted that people somehow forgot how much of an unhinged ball of rage he was as a child.
Like I'm imagining him storming into the cave and yanking on his now way too small Robin costume and muttering angrily about I'll show you the angriest Robin
Barbara is facepalming about all the nonsense that's about to pop off that inevitably she's gonna have to clean up. Bruce just starts sweating profusely and desperately trying to talk Dick down because he suddenly remembers that time Dick kicked a criminal so hard they ended up in a coma for a week and smiled so brightly while doing it that the other goons there at the time just chose to jump off a three story building into the suspect sludge that filled Gotham harbor rather than face the unhinged ten year old on bright colors and pixie boots.
Duke: But wasn't Dick the nice one?
Tim, who idolized Dick Grayson's Robin like his own chaotic god: Don't ever insult my favorite Robin that way again. Here are my top thirty photos of him reigning deranged chaotic violence upon his enemies. I'd show you more but this album just has the photos from the first month I started following him and Batman around.
Jason: The hundreds of dead assassins and all the shit I've heard about you and Young Justice suddenly make a lot more sense
#batman#batfam#dick grayson#barbara gordon#bruce wayne#duke thomas#tim drake#jason todd#jason was the golden child of all the robins#like cass is the ultimate golden child but juet talking about those that had been robin it was Jason all the way#dick was an unhinged agent of rage and chaos#tim being the way he is in context of Dick being his favorite and the robin he aspired to be like the most makes a lot more sense#i'm just saying

"Good" Acting
i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill
#also a lot of female actors don't get recognised despite being fucking GOOD#that's not to say minority actors can't always be bad#of course we can#I'm just saying#sometimes#for SOME shows in particular#ahem ahem#some actors might get very heavily criticised for reasons that have very little to do with their actual technical skill#and more to do with the politics of those criticising them#also I'm not talking about me here#before anyone says that#I'm talking about some actors I know who have recently been criticised in my opinion quite unfairly#despite doing something very difficult#like oooohhh i dunno#playing two roles in the same show?#and doing it very well#displaying some amazing technical mastery of body and voice technique#but hey what do I know#oh wait I went to drama school and I'm a professional actor lol I DO know#I'm just a woman so I have to couch my expertise in cutesy self-deprecation lest people think I'm a bitch

I'm sure this already exists but anyways.
Merlin was raised among Dragonlords, at least for a good while. They are a mix of Dragon tamers and assassins and taught Merlin how to do both (also magic). He only ever went there over the summer to visit his father, who was banned from the kingdom, (His mother usually went with him for a couple days, but couldn't stay much longer because of the farm work.) but he had great potential and caught up to the other dragonlords easily.
Fast forward, Merlin is assigned Arthur's personal manservant and has a prophecy thrown at him by the dragon beneath the castle.
While hiding in plain sight, Merlin creates his alternate persona 'Emrys', the assassin who appears in random windows to kill Arthur's newest threat.
Arthur, none the wiser, only knows a man with yellow eyes, a mask and daggers is sneaking around him, protecting him with everything his father told him was evil.
Needless to say, Arthur is having a crisis. A very gay crisis, in fact. And because he thinks Merlin is a little like him (because of the stolen dresses and sneaking around), he tries to confide in him very subtly.
Arthur: Emrys, well... He's sort of ... A good looking fella.
Merlin: is he? Didn't you tell me he's wearing a mask?
Arthur: yes, but.... You know. He has - arms
Merlin: arms
Arthur: and legs
Merlin: ... I'm not sure that's as impressive as you claim it is. I have both of those two *wiggles his limbs*
Arthur: yes but his are - wait, actually you're very similar to him
Merlin: so, am I attractive too? *Lopsided grin*
Arthur: *gay panic intensifies*

There are a lot of reasons we need Dead Boy Detectives S2. A LOT.
But what I need, desperately, is Charles Rowland's Season of Perpetual Bisexual Panic.
You know, to balance out Edwin Payne's Season of Perpetual Gay Panic.

2.1 Penacony Spoilers!
I know the scene after Ratio's "betrayal" can be read a lot of ways but I am shocked I haven't seen more people interpret it as Ratio being so worried about Aventurine that he couldn't stay away even though he was supposed to.
We know:
1) Ratio absolutely knew Aventurine's plan from start to finish, both his gamble to create "death" in the dream and with the three cornerstones. (Wish people would stop underselling Ratio in their analyses; "Three chips are enough" is a direct enough clue that, genius as he is, Ratio would never miss.)
2) In his own words, Ratio was acting according to Aventurine's instructions while in Dewlight Pavilion and with Sunday and felt that he did a good job not giving them away.
I think most people are on the same page up to there, but then I've seen a lot of people interpreting this scene after Aventurine leaves Sunday's mansion as Aventurine being genuinely angry at Ratio (possibly after having gaslit himself into thinking Ratio was actually betraying him).
But this doesn't make much sense to me because:
1) Ratio actually has nothing to gain by selling Aventurine out to Sunday. They're on the same side in this mission. Information about a Stelleron on Penacony wouldn't be news anyone with a brain like Ratio's and why would he need someone else's research on Stellerons when he already has ties to the Genius Society through Screwllum and Herta, as well as the Astral Express where the Trailblazer is actively housing a Stelleron?
2) One of Aventurine's most notable lines of dialogue is how it's perfectly fine and expected for "friends" to use each other and backstab. This is his default understanding of partners--why would he suddenly be mad about something he expected from the start?
3) If the betrayal wasn't already planned and was just a possibility based on Aventurine's understanding of Ratio, why would he ever have revealed there were "three chips" (aka three cornerstones) in play? If even the betrayal over Topaz's stone wasn't planned, just assumed, why would Aventurine reveal the existence of the third stone? He would gain nothing from doing so.
Instead, I think it makes a lot more sense to interpret Aventurine's frustration with Ratio in this later scene as annoyance over Ratio taking an "unnecessary" risk:
1) As far as Sunday knows, Ratio had just very seriously betrayed Aventurine, completely selling him out and essentially sending him to his execution.
2) In the scene afterward, Aventurine is out in public in the middle of Penacony where The Family's eyes are always watching, yet Ratio walks right up to him to check on him. Why would someone who just sold you out come up to you immediately afterward to check on your health?!
3) It's only natural that Aventurine would pump the brakes and go "Wow, didn't think you'd show yourself after you just betrayed me, remember?" Because that's the act they are supposed to be keeping up! They're still being monitored; it's not safe to break character!
But Ratio is a genius, right, so why would he break character here? From the standpoint of the ploy itself, revealing to the Family that he and Aventurine were still on the same side would only jeopardize the plan, not help it.
The logical explanation, then, is that Ratio went to Aventurine here because he felt like he had to.
He had to check in and make sure the situation was still under Aventurine's control.
(In fact, the entire exchange through the middle of this scene is Aventurine and Ratio confirming the rest of their plot in a veiled manner: Ratio brings up the plan and mentions what's concealed in the gift money bag, Aventurine confirms the cornerstone is good to go; Ratio asks what his next step will be; Aventurine says he's going to do the insane thing of handing out cash while looking pathetic [aka fishing for Sparkle]. Ratio essentially asks if he's crazy enough to take the final gamble with his own life, which Aventurine confirms, and then Ratio sets them up for the finale by gifting him the doctor's note.)
Ratio was willing to risk ruining their entire plan--something Aventurine does seem to be frustrated about at first--just to ensure Aventurine still felt all right about the situation.
He needed to deliver his note demanding Aventurine stay alive.
He needed to tell Aventurine to come to him if the situation got too painful to bear.
In short, Ratio was worried enough that he could not stay away even though, for the sake of their plot, it would have made significantly more sense for him not to appear. The gain of breaking character was worth more to him than the risk of being caught.
You honestly don't even have to take this in a shipping context. The real point here is that Ratio is an incredibly good person who wasn't okay with Aventurine's self-sacrificial plan and who felt morally compelled to check on a person in pain. He's a healer through and through, and ignoring Aventurine in this condition--ignoring someone who was taking so much risk on themselves--simply wasn't possible for him, no matter the danger it posed to the plan.
But for those who do ship Ratio and Aventurine... I hope more people will come to see this scene as another example of Ratio's genuine concern for his mission partner! He did not have to appear here at all; it would have made much more sense for him to leave Aventurine to his own devices to uphold the illusion of their "betrayal." He showed up in this scene--very likely against Aventurine's expectations--because he was concerned for Aventurine's situation and wanted to ensure Aventurine knew he could fall back on Ratio's support at any time if the plan went awry.
tl;dr: I wish people would stop interpreting this scene as the aftermath of a betrayal. Aventurine wasn't ticked off with Ratio in this scene because he felt like he'd genuinely been backstabbed; he was ticked off because Ratio was literally breaking their pre-established "betrayer" character just to be fussy over Aventurine's safety and well-being. (Okay, and to double check on the plan, but let's be real, the first part was definitely more important. 👌)

Me: There's a Tumblr holiday coming up soon.
My mom: Oh?
Me: The Ides of March.
Mom: ...???
Me: ...Do you know what that is?
Mom: Yeah... I just don't get why it's being celebrated?
Me: It's like a cat sitting inside a box -- we don't know why we do it, something inside us just tells us we should.

the fact that charles was so gentle and sincere with his answer to edwin's confession is something I could never forget... because that's what love is about, right?
love is in the way charles could never hurt edwin on purpose, is in the way he protects him, in the way he knows when edwin needs to be seen; love is in the choice of every one of his words, in the way he knows that being honest is the only right answer.
there's still forever waiting for them, there's still forever waiting for charles to figure it out, to discover if he loves edwin in a romantic way too, and it doesn't matter if is not romantic in the end, because that it's just a side of the love they share.
i think is so important not to overlook something like that, not to let that pending romance overshadow the fact that they already love each other in every other way.
because in the end, we are talking about two boys that have experienced excruciating pain, that have seen horrifying things during all their existences, and in spite of it, or maybe because of it, are capable of loving each other in a way that's so pure and strong and relentless...
reducing the importance of it to a reciprocated romantic love seems so simplistic and inconsiderate to me.
#I swear they are making me cry if i stop to think about their bond for two long#so i may stop for my own sake#believe me i want for them to be a couple too. i just don't think it is gonna make their love more important that it alresdy is#you cannot compare any other relationship with the way they love each other#i'm just saying#dead boy detectives#payneland#paineland#paynland#edwin payne#charles rowland#dbd#liv rambles#painland#edwin paine#dead boy detective agency#edwin x charles
