the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.

(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)

is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.

(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)

on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.

#eliot #eliot spencer #orig #further discussion in further tags #I'm being perhaps a little critical and there are other ways to read eg the fragile masculinity moments #but I Do think they were intended this way and largely come across this way #I'm quite happy playing with a fanon eliot who's better at this shit is the thing? it feels faithful enough to the original.#but this is something I'm chewing over in a rewatch and it's interesting so far #the fact that he pretty consistently respects women doesn't stop him from treating men and women differently y'know?#the fact that his bantering with hardison expresses affection and gets quite soft over time #doesn't stop him from pushing hardison away on a semi-regular basis. often physically.#the fact that the fandom unanimously decided he's an utter gentleman in matters of dating #doesn't quite negate the time he physically stopped aimee from getting away when he wanted to talk to her #though that's one I might disregard because it's so early and I think they hadn't quite figured out the characters then #and it was admittedly a brief moment followed by very consensual happenings #perhaps. honestly. eliot may be reflecting the attitudes of the show here.#which were very progressive for the time and are still startling on several fronts now but also showing definite signs of age #arguably fanon eliot (as I understand him) is eliot adjusted for inflation. as it were.#there's a lot going on here I'm having a normal amount of thoughts about it I'm. stopping now

i keep trying to think of funny/poetic ways to talk about all the things i'm feeling right now but i honestly can't so. i'm really sad about what happened with my partner. i know he was an inconsiderate prick about it and that i didn't do anything wrong and i couldn't have prevented it but i'm just really fucking sad.

#ramble #i think knowing that he was awful and that it wasn't my fault should make all the sad go away actually #i'm in such a weird fragile state right now that last night i looked at my flip flops that are still covered in mud #and i just started crying bc last weekend he carried me over the mud so they wouldn't get ruined. KNOWING he was going to do this to me #sorry i try really hard not to overshare but i don't want to keep bothering anyone in my actual life about this and idk what to do #when it happened it didn't hurt this badly and i just assumed i would be fine #idk i think it's just sunk in how much of my future i don't have anymore and that's like #a bit scary #because i was Just calming down and thinking maybe i would be ok in the long term and now it's all gone #i'm in that weird place between desperately wanting him back and plotting where to bury the body parts #i'm also mad bc i wish he'd left me before the festival. there were SO many gorgeous metalhead trans girls that i could've kissed

Tina: Wow, the radius for that is huge.

Pac: [Steps on a mine and gets blown up] Whoa!

Fit: Oh, those are all mines, arent' they? Those are all mines, you bastard.

Aypierre: Let- let- let me fix this road... [He starts placing blocks]

Foolish: See? This is why mines need to be allowed, they're too fun.

Fit: [Laughs]

Pac: Yeah, actually.

Aypierre: Look, look– it's perfect, it's perfect.

Pac: [Steps on one of the blocks Aypierre placed, which was a mine, and immediately blows up]

Fit: Pac! No, Pac–! NOOO!!!

Pac: [Laughs and then shouts at Aypierre]

Aypierre: Where are you, Pac?

[Time skip]

Foolish: Did you get your stuff, Tina?

Tina: I will... I'll find a way... [She steps on a mine and blows up] AAAAAAAAA–

Tina: PLEASE!

Fit: Those are all mines!

Tina: No, please! My stuff! I gotta go– [She gets lit on fire and screams again] PLEASE!

Pac: God damnnit!

Tina: Please, I just want my stuff back!

Tina: I want my things, Foolish!!!

He and Mike both came back in their typical goofy ass cartoony way #Well. With a little bit of Federation science horror on Pac's end but you know #Anyways.

Gardening pals

#kirby #kots #kirby of the stars #kirby fanart #hoshi no kirby #taranza #Galacta Knight #last year I had it revealed to me in a dream that Galacta would enjoy gardening #it made so much sense back then #it doesn't make sense now but i don't make the rules #i think Taranza could show Galacta how to interact with fragile things without you know killing them #Galacta has been destructive for so long they have been used as a weapon for as long as they remember #and then being free and discovering they are capable of gentleness???#the best i think #i started rendering this yesterday i spent like 4 hours on it until i realized i hate rendering so gray it is #please forgive me rendering gods I'm just no good #morpho butterflies surround Galacta in the garden if it wasn't clear #i know some people see them and freak out for obvious reasons but they're kind to Galacta and Galacta is still grateful to them #do you like galacta's cap it took me so long to figure out out how to get it on their head #i don't know anything about gardening so i just made Taranza hold any gardening tool I could think of #he has too many hands in my opinion i don't know what to do with them

today i'm saying farewell to my darlings (only for a short while, but it hurts nonetheless)

see you in our new home lovelies

#they're secured in three layers of thick soft blankets and it still doesn't feel like enough #i'm only gonna keep spork and multivitamin with me for now #cause they're more pocket sized and less likely to get damaged if i just carry them to our new home in my bag last minute #plus spork has been growing to become a huge comfort item of mine (pennlottes level comfort)#and he's not as fragile as pennlottes so that's why he stays and multivitamin is there to accompany him #furby #furby fandom #safe furby #furblr #furby 1998 #furby community #madame charlotte the terrible #penne peapod #edward what the fuck bioprazol #sylvester nimbus ayloh #crusty old lucas #404 name not found #riso risotto #dandelion fluff the flower child #blueberry muffin star #strawberry cheesecake heart #and also ibuprofen whom i never post (sorry ibu)

#rough day #my dad is having a terrible time and I can't really help much without someone to help ME #so that's scary and sad #and the Christmas thing im making for my bf looks beautiful but i made a really really bad mistake #that means it is incredibly delicate to the point it will ultimately not be able to withstand things like dusting or being stored #so it has to go in a bell jar or something similar #and i will redo it completely after that #and i feel bad for making a mistake i was warned about because i badly misjudged what other artists meant by 'light layers'#i should have tried a more thorough test run but i thought there probably wasn't time and i turned out to be super right about that #i know the longevity thing doesn't matter much as long as i have it ready for my boyfriend #and everything else can get sorted later #but i am doing absolutely beautiful work on something i know won't survive and the context of the piece makes that unutterably sad #and the situation with my dad is awful and upsetting and i don't know what to do #i'm not a very good grownup i really am not and so much of what is being asked of me is crap i cannot do #or what is going to be asked of me #my boyfriend is here for me but doesn't know any more than i do and i feel very alone #anyway the thing im making may be fragile but it's still so beautiful and i think you'll love it when i share it

Second request: baby todd and Jake fluff perhaps? 💖

Day 12 - Little hands, my one weakness

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Jake #Todd #Uncle Jake! :D #It's funny ♪ I actually asked how Jake might react to baby Todd while I was still making a bunch of those doodles #But I never actually drew anything from it! Even though it's so cute!#I did fully intend to - so I'm glad I can now! :D Thanks for the reminder haha #Jake so nervous with Just how baby this baby is haha - he's so much bigger than this little one!#It's all well and good to hold Edgar - he's an adult! As much as he wants to give him a good hug haha #But little ones are just so fragile! It's nerve-wracking ♥ It's sweet hehe 💕#Babies are built tough - he'll be asking for uppies and spins and to be thrown around before you know it lol #I do love the idea of Edgar having not only a good support system as a single(?) parent -#Being able to ask Devi and Jake for help when he needs it and raises a family as a group! It takes a village #But also of him settling into the parent role and being confident in places that others aren't #He can be quite capable but he's also often prone to being kicked while he's down haha poor lad #Seeing him confident and happy to have someone to rely on and have Jake defer to him on I just jfdlsafjd ♥💕💖#Directing his hands in return <3 They uplift each other!! It can be so sweet

screaming at ppl who assume being femme means looking like a personification of the coquette aesthetic

#if you want pink and delicate and fragile you're not gonna get that here #some days you would look at me and not even recognise me as necessarily feminine let alone femme #BUT I'M STILL FEMME #rants n rambles
