Zane... Ooooooooh boy...
I really really like the Wyldfyre shorts, they're a great way to explore Wyldfyre's grief without having to dedicate screentime from the main show.
At the same time, excuse me Wyldfyre, what did you just say he told you?
I am annoyed more so at the writers and not the character, tho his character is a close second.
The ONLY good thing about his character from Crystalized just got thrown out and into the garbage for... No reason?
And this isn't like, Wyldfyre being an unreliable narrator, because she's literally quoting him, even if it's in condensding manner, and you can't tell me Zane doesn't know the difference between Humans and Nindroids... Like- ugh...
I'm just upset, S1 of DR had his character pretty well I'd say, but S2 has just NOT BEEN IT in the slightest, they seen to be doubling down repeatedly on his robot self and not his human self, and I'm sorry but there's not even any comparison between the two when it comes to which one I like more...
Zane's whole thing was that he was a very very VERY human machine, a person even, and it seemed like he could function as a machine while still maintaining his humanity and personality.
Now, with what we've had since SotFS and now this line, it feels like that balance has completely gone out of whack, it feels like he's favouring his robot self over his human one, and there's nothing inherently wrong that.
Unless... You repeatedly literally don't do anything with his character and just keep building up on the fact that he's "Silly nice robot man :p", and especially when you use his 'Cardboard Cutout' character during the Wildbrain Era as a sort of justification for his current character state.
Mind you, that Cardboard Cutout didn't go through a single character arc up until Crystalized to justify making him feel so much more robotic, and it's hella infuriating when you remember they TRIED to give him an arc after SotFS (Tommy said that they previously wanted to have a Zane PTSD/Depression arc for Prime Empire that was scrapped).
If you can't tell, I'm not happy with his current currently in the slightest...
#zane julien#ninjago#ninjago dragons rising spoilers#ninjago dragons rising#Sorta vent post...?#If you're wondering where I got that line about them trying to justify his current character using his WB era character#It's from a doc tweet#It was a reply to a question iirc#His answer basically boiled down to something along the lines of 'Why wouldn't Zane be accepting of his robot self?'#Which#I don't think Zane ever denied his nindroid self to begin with#Or has tried to not embrace it#There's a difference between 'accepting you're different from everyone' and 'denying one of your halves'#HECK THAT'S WHAT NINDROIDS ARE ALL ABOUT!#THEY'RE HUMAN MACHINES!#When you 'embrace your robot self' so much to the point that in universe the public starts setting false offensive stereotypes for you#And irl people start being really upset with your character#You've done something very VERY wrong#That's not embracing who you are#That's favouring one side of yourself#If the writers wanna say that he's starting to embrace his robot self more so now#Then I'll say they've completely neglected his human self and did the exact opposite of what they set out to do#Zane was 'More human then robot'#But in their attempt to fix it they've literally just broken it and did the exact oppiste of that statement#'More robot then human'#It's an issue that frankly#From my own POV#Shouldn't have even been 'fixed'#Because frankly it was never an issue#If it ain't broke don't fix it

Gonna make a controversial statement—people on this webbed site had more compassion for the poor white rural Trump supporters than they do for Jews
#let me be clear: I am sympathetic to some of the historical issues faced by people in Appalachia#and having grown up in a red rural country am aware with the issues of poverty and lack of access#and nor do I believe your politics should lead to harm or lack of medical and social services#but also they are 100% willing to fuck the rest of us over and I frankly am not here for being held hostage as a nation by that shit#meanwhile a Jew will talk about antisemitism and people will be like… (((Zionist)))#and we aren’t even getting into if you are Israeli#or even have the lease complicated opinion on medinat yisrael#judenhass#antisemitism#fuck maga

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.
They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.
They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.
Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.
On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.
#This is about traditional publishing but there’s pretty privilege and ageism in self publishing too#I can’t think of the last time I saw an up and coming author recording videos who was over thirty#And frankly that’s a shame#It could be that I’m not looking hard enough#but it’s more likely that algorithms are trained the way they are#truly I don’t think they should have to do any of that at all#And forgive me but (and I know it’s rich because I’m an artist on a platform) but art shouldn’t be at the mercy of an algorithm#Now there’s also something to be said about self publishing becoming easier and easier to achieve success in#And doors opening because of influencer status is real and makes publishing wider in a way#But that doesn’t mean it’s accessible#I’m not gonna plaster my health issues over the wall but that life is certainly not accessible to me!#are you healthy enough to write and make sure people on social media still want to like your stuff#are you mentally well enough to be your own pr#I’m sure people who have studied this have more to say and have said it better but this is what I’ve observed#writing#publishing#publishing industry

i am highly intrigued by single mother hawke...
“single parent hawke who, perhaps blinded by their parents’ love story, fell for someone who would not or could not do what leandra did and give up everything to be on the run with a mage family, so hawke was left to raise a child on their own” is a concept that’s been in my heart for ages. on top of all the fun you can have just with them being a single parent during the game, i think knowing for a fact that people really do give up everything for true love, but that it wasn’t done for you, provides the perfect abandonment issues seasoning to flavour any da2 romance. and in a way that’s deeply linked to the main plot conflict! chef’s kiss. gives a really useful firm example of what mage hawke has lost out on by being a mage or what non-mage hawke has lost out on by sticking with their family
in general it adds to hawke’s natural older sibling vibes and sense of being responsible for everyone, i think them defaulting to acting like everyone’s tired parent is good for both funnies and feelings. (or single parent hawkes who maybe actively don’t act like that because they’re sick of the responsibility or they laugh things off instead.) and it’s just cool for a single parent character especially a single mother to be the heroic champion of kirkwall protagonist
there’s room in all that for big new plot beats like, obvious example, the kid manifesting magic during the course of the game, but also little scenes that i think rlly land, like idk the first time varric meets the kid in act 1 and truly registers what the stakes are for hawke
#incredibly relevant to isabelas trauma specifically but who doesnt have mommy issues around here#insane for varric frankly.

it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent
#xmen#xmen comic#krakoa#cherik#snap chats#until the divorce of course but until then its actually so funny#how you really couldnt go a page or two without one or the other and the other one was close behind#ice climber ass duo over here. the delightful children from down the lane kind of proximity what the fuck was their PROBLEM#i feel like if one of them was teleported the other would just materialize right next to them thats how close they were#fuuuck what was the issue where sabretooth and co are in like. Brain Prison or something#and victor imagines charles but everyones like 'wait its weird if its just him where's magneto'#ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY and i NEED to know what issue that was .... to add it to my collection ....#also killed me how in immoral x-men issue 1 charles was yappin bout erik bein gone#and- God Bless Who i forget i think it was hope- was just 'can you please shut up about your dead boyfriend im begging you'#moira stronger than me if i had to deal with thing 1 and thing 2 on a daily basis i woulda snapped sooner frankly#ig when you live ten times through The Most Bullshit ever youre numb to most things but still. my god theyre so obnoxious#sorry im cackling at the bit in HoX where charles is about to announce krakoa to the world and erik's putting his hand on his shoulder#and you justs see moira in the back like dawgggg right in front of her .... can you two get a room#GENUINELY no im GENUINELY surprised they dont share a bedroom#im not even talking sharing a bed im taking my shipper goggles off im actually baffled they dont sleep in the same building#obvi id be lyin if i said i didnt love it tho To Be Real .. genuinely love seein them work together as a team .. until they werent </3#in every timeline they WILL divorce each other that's just the rule. actual canon event it cannot be changed or stopped its integral#ok ramble over. but not really not in spirit cause ill never be over this ill die before i am#im gonna go eat now i think i think thats something i As A Human has to do at least once a day

they deserved better idc 😐
#it was so cool seeing the sign language and isha being mute was never something that needed fixing#she found a home and jinx found a reason to live#i know people are saying jinx survived because of the scene with Caitlyn but like...#why would jinx do that? she wanted to die this whole season she wanted to die at the beginning of the episode & that depression never faded#her escaping through the air vents implies a will to live#something jinx did not have#i thought it felt like the ending of ep 7 in the season one#trying to kill herself with ekko cause she didnt want to die alone. she had warwick when she pulled out & detonated one of her monkey bombs#like I'd love it if she was alive and left cause yea fuck Piltover get outta there honey!#and Isha's sacrifice meant nothing. she's just not mentioned at all we didnt even see Sevika's reaction to her death...#not dc#arcane#arcane spoilers#jinx arcane#isha arcane#tw suicide mention#the ending with Caitlyn felt like another moment of her and Vi having no idea the severity of Jinx's mental health issues#vi was upset she didnt wanna fight and go make change and shit and never mentioned the ''my sister wants to kill herself''#as if jinx wasn't in a depressive state every time we saw her in that cell.#and her removing herself from the equation so the others can be happy is ??????#so i guess she was a jinx to her family??? that she was the problem? its a frankly gross message to send with a suicidal character#that yes actually your loved ones will be better off without you in the picture you complicate things

There is currently a rather large discussion ongoing about the RW fandom behavior, drama, etc. I am not going to talk about the specifics of whats happened for a number of reasons. But what I do want to say is that if at any point you've harassed people over it, whether that be through anon asks or public posts- you did nothing but damage the ability for people to correctly process what is happening. You contributed nothing but harm to an already delicate situation. It does not matter what "side" you were on and I will not tolerate further interaction with me or my work if I found out you did such. If you let your personal hate for anyone boil over into threats, wishes for long term harm and petty comments meant to contribute nothing but slander or mental distress for the individuals involved who were already distressed (or acting irrationally) you did nothing but make it harder for people to process their emotions, thoughts and behaviors constructively. Regardless of who you think was in the right, who fucked up, whatever. It doesn't matter if they deserved it, or earned it, or if its an eye for an eye. Its difficult enough as it is to think clearly when presented with any kind of stressful situation and heckling people does nothing but make it worse and harder for them to explain themself in any capacity. I don't want you anywhere near me if you think that is an acceptable way to act.
#Please do not ask for me details- I am not involved#I am not the person to ask.#I very intentionally stay out of wider fandom circles because i want to keep enjoying things i like (lol)#But i have seen some absolutely vile behavior both openly and on alts or anon#even from the 'anti harassment' side because of course they also just want a justified target#to hurt or slander but this time under the guise of 'well they did it first!'#Its a pathetic display on all sides in terms of behavior long before for you even try picking a part who fucked up and where#and its not surprising that many artists have felt uncomfortable with it long before it boiled over into this. It would have been a problem#even if there had never been an actual incident because people were simply behaving in uncomfortable and offputting ways in regards to how#they treated creators here. fandom has a problem in general with that but it was particularly public and open#Anyway Im not leaving the fandom or anything im comfortably on the fringes of it for a reason and dont intend on digging in any further.#But this issue has been cooking for months for frankly and with this its gotten even more openly hostile. And yes- even those#'anti harassment' types are very happy to harass when they have their own reason for it. so im not giving them an inch#But beyond that and this particular incident people have just been way too comfortable being cruel openly#and letting their personal dislike of things bleed into how they act.#Also one more thing: If an artist deletes or leaves and takes their art with them the bear minimum of respect is to honor that choice#save what you want when its there and keep it but if they want their work gone than god respect that dont set up entire archives#for shit people choose to wipe. If they delete it that should be honored no matter how you feel about it#t.extpost

Not gonna lie, I'm a little bothered by the takes I'm seeing claiming people disliked this episode because there wasn't enough buddie.
Because I don't know about y'all, but I didn't like this episode because it painted a fucking violent, dangerous cop as some kind of remorseful victim after he nearly killed a woman in front of her child.
Come on, now.
#be for real y'all#this episode had all kinds of issues#but this was absolutely the primary one#and frankly none of them had to do with a lack of buddie please#911 spoilers#911 s8#911 8x07

Oh, good. The people who can't read a linked article on a post they reblog, much less open a separate tab and look into something themselves, are gonna tell us what is and isn't legit
#if you are the kind of person who has REPEATEDLY shown your judgement is based on vibes and not facts#you cannot be surprised when people cast doubt on you#which is why 'reblog first and fact check later IF AT ALL' is harmful#and sorry but ADHD is not an excuse to be ignorant and reblog constant misinfo and then act like you actually care abt an issue#vagueposting#like i get that life is hard! but if you dont wanna do the work of informing yourself on a post's content before reblogging it:#DON'T REBLOG IT!#maybe just like it and come back to it later!!!#sorry but this kneejerk urge to 'spread awareness' has proven for a lot of you to just be an excuse#to reblog complete misinfo bc you dont want to do the work of making YOURSELF aware#but you wanna seem like you give a shit.#and clrly since posting is the most a lot of yall do re:activism you can't just NOT post about something!!#a lot of yall spread bullshit not awareness.#and frankly. how dare you act like adhd would give you a pass to do this AGAIN and AGAIN.#take some personal responsibility for your role in making the internet a shittier place babe!
