Just thought about how Tildy/Peter could act as a narrative mirror for sketchbook. I need to sit down.
#it’s about the lonesome witch and the sweet flowery person dynamic???#it’s about the ‘two idiots who fail to take chances and communicate well’????#its about the perfect chance for them to look at the older couple. and see what they could become#if they don’t act soon#oh God I’m gonna have to write a fic won’t I#as a symbolism lover I am always#ALWAYS#I’m awe of how perfectly interwoven sketchbook symbolism COULD be in the narrative#BECAUSE ITS NEVER INTENTIONAL (I think)#THESE TWO CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED#OVER THE COURSE OF TWO SEASONS#TO SIMPLY FIT TOGETHER#AND ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE READ THAT WAY. AT ALL#WELL IM SORRY BUT ILL DO IT ANYWAYS#sketchbook ship#sketchbook ship hilda

i lied, i don't want bail organa in andor season 2 because he's a great character and could be an amazing resource to the plot and story develpment, i want him and breha there because i want to see them dress in beautiful and fancy clothes
#i mean kenobi design was amazing. two years later and i'm still loving breha's white gown#but I can't deny andor production designs are better (mostly bc is one of sw series higgest budgets and of course that makes differences)#Mon Mothma's gowns are so beautifully craft and looks like high costure. idk if that's the right term sorry#anyways. i'm just fangirling over costume design. It's so prettyyy#star wars#bail organa#breha organa#obi wan kenobi#kenobi#kenobi series#mon mothma#star wars andor#andor#andor series#andor season 2#costume design#alderaan#chandrila

ALSO the end of the episode when jemma is telling fitz that he’s the real hero because he was beside her the whole damn time in the lab and was giving her hope when she had none and then she kisses his cheek and walks away and he sits there smiling and then that smile slowly turns into more of a thinking contemplating oh shit face AND THEN HE KNOWS HE NEVER GOT OVER IT HE NEVER GOT OVER HER
#kat rambles#fitzsimmons#god thinking about the 6x06 flashback too and how we saw the night she friendzoned him and then ever since he probably just assumed he got#over her but NO he almost lost her he watched her jump out of a plane he was two seconds away from jumping out of the plane after her this#is REAL this isn’t going away!!!!!!#and he won’t let her die btw#not after this. not after everything. he knows there’s only one breath but he wants her to take it#but no! what?! he’s her best friend in the whole wide world!!! but…..she’s so much more than that to him#and so#that decision quite literally changes the course of the rest of his life#season two angst season three whatever the fuck was going on FRAMEWORK DOCTOR IJ HIS MIND SEASON FIVE RIFT WITH DAISY EVERYTHING EVERY#FUCKING THING#god i’m going on a tangent but when you get me started on these two#agents of shield

#this man has never done a war in his Life#he hides in a hole until its over#and apparently now hes gonna get involved in the grian vs doc nonsense??#his first war..... proud of him#and of course the one thing getting him into it is grian#those two. they have a weird rivalry that you dont see often bc they dont interact often but it Exists and i love it#zeds gotten more and more social as the seasons go on i think#s7 he rarely interacted and was just. in a hole.#sometimes hed have a silly little bit with another hermit and then back to the hole#s8 was short but he had a decent amount of interactions#and by interactions i mean experimenting on his friends. as you do if youre zedaph#and now in s9 a lot of zedvancements get done with other hermits!#and he is possibly doing war now#good for him

"Vander and Silvo grew up like brothers! Them being together is weird!"
Ok, listen. You're valid, but listen. In the original universe we get, I completely agree. Vander nearly killing Silco and them fighting for dominance of Zaun is brother vs brother, power vs power activity. I don't think that universe went any further. There was no room for it to go beyond that betrayal and bitter feelings.
Within the Timebomb universe however I think they became something more after reconciling.
The letter was found, they talked it out, probably fought (which, head cannon, probably left Vander with a new scar somewhere we didn't see) but after that I think they saw each other in a new light. They were now on completely even footing, fighting for the exact same vision of Zaun in the exact same way, through peace vs violence because now they've seen what violence brings and they don't want that to happen ever again.
They don't want to lose each other again.
They only really had each other, Powder and Vi to take care of after losing their parents, which is what probably got them thinking about being together as a couple of they hadn't been thinking about it already.
I just can't read their reactions/looks in that universe in any other way. It's just too tender? I just look at them looking at each other and see, "unwavering devotion."
Two kings rule over Zaun in that universe and they're very happily married, despite everything that's happened. Because how could they not be after everything that's happened?
#i just know from past relationships that if i was in vander or silcos shoes i wouldnt want to let go of my partner#like id still be close to them if someone else came along romantically or something#like they still were when powder and vi's parents were around#but if it was JUST US which it looked like it was in the timebomb universe#and we were taking care of a child or two together while trying to rebuild our world?#I'd have them as my romantic partner no doubt#i would just never want anything to come between us again#theres the whole killing eachother thing to take into account of course but you know#when living in a world so dangerous as the one in arcane at that moment thats not much more than just a fight#a really REALLY bad fight but one they clearly got over somehow so you knoooooow -shrugs-#anyway#arcane#arcane vander#arcane silco#arcane season 2#arcane spoilers#zaundads#arcane zaun#listen all i can think about is them doing something very domestic and just falling into eachother in the most natural way possible#its all fun and games until someone kisses back with a little too much enthusiasm then suddenly BAM pregnant#lol jk#...unless?

“Louis de Pointe du Lac. That's an interesting name.” “Louis of Pointe du Lac Plantation. My great-great-grandfather owned one. All that remains is the name.”
“And a sizable trust to oversee as a consequence. Capital accrued from plantations of sugar and the blood of men who looked like my great-grandfather but did not have his standing.”
When introducing himself to Daniel both in 1973 and in 2022, Louis alludes to the ways that the legacy of chattel slavery in the United States remains present through his life. The ramifications of this history will be explored further in his interviews; it is intrinsic to the racism that Louis describes experiencing, and it is built into the economic and cultural foundations of the societies that Louis has and continues to navigate through. The way that this subject is broached however, in both the past and present, specifically centres the relationship between slave plantations and Louis’ own affluence.
Daniel’s remark being prefaced by Louis offering to “Get the boy whatever he wants”, before carelessly pushing a platinum credit card between them, implicitly correlates Louis’ response with that ostentatious display of wealth. It is not an intentional association made by the characters, and Louis immediately downplays the link when he recognises it (“All that remains is the name.”). Given his reaction, it seems likely that Louis did not talk about this topic during his subsequent interview with Daniel, though, again, that does not mean it would have had no bearing on other matters discussed. By contrast in the present day, Louis broaches the subject himself and fairly openly acknowledges the correlation. It was a slave plantation and the exploitation of enslaved people that created the sizeable trust that paid for the house and lifestyle that Louis and his family enjoyed. While Louis does not state it directly, the unavoidable implication of Louis clarifying that his great-grandfather was black and had a different social status to that of slaves (“[…] the blood of men who looked like my great-grandfather but did not have his standing.”) is that several generations of Louis’ black relatives have, at least indirectly, financially profited from chattel slavery. It is unlikely that this wealth was all inherited after the fact, considering that the abolition of slavery in the United States occurred only a couple of decades before Louis was born. These pieces of information seem to contradict then the implicit suggestion of Louis’ earlier explanation in 1973, that the only direct bearing the de Pointe du Lac plantation has had on his life is a shared name.
Both the dismissal and the acknowledgement are characteristic of how Louis describes the past; factual as a basic statement but carrying additional implications whose accuracy is more questionable and or left carefully unexamined. This is a rhetorical device that aids Louis in maintaining control of the narrative and its meanings while avoiding, as much as he can, outright lies. While Louis does view Daniel as a necessity for him to revisit his story, it needs to be stated that this does not prevent Louis from consciously and unconsciously tailoring it for his audience. It is possible that Louis only acknowledges the subject at all in the second interview because he is aware that Daniel has likely done some background research on his family. Considering how insensitive to racial issues Daniel can be, as well as his deliberately combative and contrarian approach to interviewing, it may be that this is a subject that Louis does not want to explore with Daniel specifically; it is perhaps notable that the penthouse Louis shares with Armand contains at least two pieces of art (Slave Auction by Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Transformation by Ron Bechet) which are about chattel slavery. Regardless of the reason for Louis’ selectivity, this context continues to hover on the periphery of Louis’ story, adding additional layers of meaning to the events that follow.
It contextualises the contradictory feelings Louis has about his work as a landlord and pimp, roles that may step outside of the shadow of sugarcane and slavery but are only made possible through investing the profits of them. When Louis confesses to the ways he treats his workers, tellingly he invokes plantation imagery with “[…] I lie to myself, saying I'm giving them a roof and food and dollar bills in they pocket, but I look in the mirror, I know what I am; the big man in the big house, stuffing cotton in my ears so I can't hear their cries.”. This conflict then deepens the resentment Louis has towards his family for criticising how he provides for them, with Paul being the only member who even entertains the idea that they should not spend the money at all (“We should tithe that o'er to St. Augustine's 'fore this house falls in on us.”). Whereas the family judges Louis for connecting them to an industry they view as sinful and lacking respectability, contrasting it to the seemingly fondly remembered family plantation (“Daddy was here, we'd still be in sugar cane.”), Louis is troubled by the exploitative nature of that work and capitalism as a whole. Yet there are also times when Louis exhibits pride towards his business dealings (“And I was now the owner of the brightest club in the district. My club, my rules. […] It was everything I had ever wanted or wished for. […] I made a mountain of money, enough to retire and be buried like a pharaoh.”). This could be suggested to be partly because Louis has moved away from the legacy of his family’s past to create something that he can try to believe is helping his, primarily black, workers (“I paid the staff better, paid the band better, all the while helping those who had been with me down the block to better themselves.”).
Most significantly of all, this context adds an additional lens through which Louis and the audience can examine some of the overarching existential ideas that Louis has been grappling with throughout his life, and that the second interview brings to the forefront. How does the past continue to define our present? Can we be considered in any way culpable for the actions of others? What reparations can we make for the harm, deliberate and unintentional, that we do? The open-ended way that Louis approaches the link between his inherited wealth and chattel slavery, as well as the subsequent ways that these have shaped his life, is reflective of those unanswered questions. Louis is desperately trying to find, if not a definitive answer to these philosophical quandaries, an insight that can give his existence purpose and direction. It is vital to Louis that his experiences offer some greater lesson (“That's the purpose. Our book must be a warning as much as anything.”), and ideally one that he can prove that he has already learnt. The different ways that Louis approaches the subject in 1973 and 2022 then reflect how he is revaluating the past and himself (“The passage of time and the frailties that accompany it have provided me perspective.”), but despite this, critically and symbolically, Louis still does not seem to have come to any conclusions.
#one of the worst things that I think can happen to art is for its nuances and complexities to be dulled and sanded away#because of others inability or refusal to engage with them#I wanted to write about these lines and specifically the one in the first episode#because they are great examples of how much depth is contained in the writing#how complex a person Louis is#as well as Louis' wonderful ability to casually throw a line in that we then think about for days#I have in fact been writing this analysis over the course of two weeks#because I have accepted that I will never get my analysis done before season two#(actually it makes me feel slightly ill when I think about it)#but at least this thousand plus word analysis is about a couple lines of dialogue instead of just one#that may be progress#anyway racists DNI#Louis de Pointe du Lac#Interview with the Vampire#Vampterview#Jagged Jottings

Celebrían was the Lady of Rivendell, the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn, and the wife of Elrond. She was the mother of Arwen and the twins Elrohir and Elladan.
#celebrian#lotr#the lord of the rings#tolkien#ethereal aesthetic#the absolute chokehold she has on me! like!! rings of power what are you doing! do you not want an epic sweeping war time romance????#my main critic of rings of power is the female characters (or lack thereof)--galadriel speaks to how many women this season??#wait does she speak to a single woman all season?? i don't ......... think she does? maybe that one warrior elf on the road to eregion?#it's like each narrative thread except the harfoots gets one woman (two for numenor)#i mean the dwarves (one woman) the gil-galad elves (one woman) the eregion elves (one woman)#(and the women are slaughtered in horrific ways--look at mirdania and also elrond's mate rian getting shot through with arrows???)#i love rings of power but fuck me these male showrunners are insipid when it comes to writing female characters#(don't even get me started on my girl galadriel losing the nine rings to sau like come off it showrunners!!)#(and the kiss between elrond and galadriel which was degrading for both characters and for my baby celebrian!)#(no issue if you like elrond x galadriel and ship it of course!! i am talking from a showrunners pov imo it was a horrid decision)#i just ... need the showrunners to grow up when it comes to female characters honestly#(and tumblr is a safe place to express these frustrations away from the incel ragebait lorebores who snivel and shriek over women existing)

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.
There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.
#like so much of their dynamic (esp but not exclusively in S3) has been about showing the ways that carmy's trauma and dysfunctional#attitude in the kitchen impacts other people and how even though he cares about syd and wants their partnership to work he keeps self#sabotaging and setting himself and by extension her and the restaurant up to fail and replicating the same toxic environments that#he grew up and trained in and this is very much consistent with his character and a natural continuation of the conflicts they've been#having since S1 but because him being shitty with her runs contrary to them getting together suddenly its 'ruining the story' and#out of character and only happening bc the writers just hate to see this ship winning and like. if you really think that i genuinely don't#know what show you've been watching bc it sure as shit wasn't this one. like it hurts to see him do this because you know#they could do something genuinely great together and that he's ruining a really good thing but this is also the reality of where he is rn#if he was just a good and supporting business partner and not deeply dysfunctional it would be wildly out of character#the problem w S3 wasn't that it 'ruined' their relationship it's that it had no clear focus overemphasized carmy's arc at the expense#of the other leads deprioritized the supporting cast while failing to give them their own arcs gave more screen time to#unecessary and uninteresting new 'comic relief' characters and let conflicts stagnate without resolving them or#letting them evolve over the course of the season.#this isn't exclusive to the bear this is a general trend ive noticed where as soon as the 'shipper' part of people's brains get activated#it's like they lose the ability to read the story any other way and it stops being about what's good for the narrative and starts being#about whether or not these two people kiss and anything that gets in the way of that is bad and anything that brings it closer is good#and it's usually whatever but it's really frustrating when the story ppl are doing that to is this good#it also makes people fundamentally incapable of treating any 'obstacle' to that romance in a way that isn't wildly meanspirited and#gross (esp bc those characters are usually women) which is exhausting. like no claire isn't evil or a 'pick me' or 'bad' for carmy#or a useless addition to the story or whatever other nonsense you guys have decided must be true to feel okay. she's a perfectly normal#character and their relationship is exploring some of the ways that carmy's inability to deal with or actually address his trauma#impacts the various relationships in his life. she doesn't even have to be a monster or a narrative mistake for him and syd to be#'destined' for each other or whatever. this isn't a middle school wattpad fic.#im definitely gonna get killed in the street for this but ive been looking for a good reason to spend less time on here so might as well#the bear#sydcarmy#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto

something about mk brutally smashing his head against azures sword till it shattered. something about mei modeling her sword after azures (im insane)
I went ahead and gifed both scenes (which proves that I'm very clearly normal)
So, Mei shatters her family sword defending MK. She then models her sword after Azure's. MK later brutally smashes his head against Azure's sword, cracking it (and Azure) apart. Azure then uses that sword to stitch the universe together, losing his life in the process.
The first thing that comes to mind is the Curse's words, "Such pitiful creatures: cowardly, reckless, monstrosities; all doomed to play a roll in tearing this world apart! To cause nothing but chaos and destruction.", with 4x13 being titled "Rip and Tear" and Azure quite literally tearing the world apart. You trying to do what you think is right but that still leading to bad outcomes—to shattering and breaking and destruction.
Other bonus parallels/contrasts include:
Mei breaking her sword to defend MK, while Azure breaks his sword attacking MK
"But how am I supposed to protect everyone if I don't have my sword!" and then Azure uses his sword to save the entire world aka everyone.
Mei: "If you're not giving everything you have to protect the people you care about you are nothing!" Azure: "I would have done anything in my power to bring them back—but it wasn't in my power, it was in yours." (Using power for the people you care about) (Interesting to note however, Azure is fine with his friends as collateral ((love you 4x10 roar)) where as Mei will put a lot at risk for her friends ((she doesn't object when MK suggests going into the scroll even if it'll risk the curse being released)))
Mei: "What's the point of having power if you won't use it! [...] Inaction is careless! [...] Then maybe you don't deserve power!" Azure: "I did not sacrifice everything simply to be an idle deity! I will do what my predecessor did not!" (Aka those who deserve power are those who will use it)
Both were totally willing to sacrifice Wukong for their goals (Mei in 3x12 and Azure throughout s4, but especially in the special)
Mei: "Wukong knew the risks—that's the hard part of being a hero!" Azure: "Nothing is won without sacrifice!"
Jade Emperor Azure and Samadhi Fire Mei as containers for uncontrollable power (I talk about this one a lot)
Do we think "How could you lead us into this fight without a real plan!" applies to the Brotherhood's attack against heaven
They really did not need to have Mei model her sword after Azure's, so I wonder if this is building to an eventual "Mei V MK" fight (where Mei is most likely fighting MK to save MK) and Mei uses her sword to protect herself from one of the people she cares about.
I feel like there's more to the sword situation, but I can't put my finger on it.
#big fan of Mei having modeled her sword after a person who is currently dead#Good for her for having a dead man's weapon#Joining the rest of the gang (excluding MK) finally#MK beating his head against Azure's sword is one of the scariest scenes for me ngl#Like go boy! Let it out!#But also you did not react this way even against LBD in 3x14#Like hmmm idk guys did he get worse over the course of s4#HMMM WAIT HOLD ON#AZURE LBD AND THE JADE EMPEROR ARE THE ONLY 3 CHARACTERS TO HAVE EVER WIELDED A SWORD IN THIS SHOW#HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.#Okay we got two current candidates for who is getting Jade Emperor-ed next season#new tag#jade emperor mei#lmk#lmk gif#lego monkie kid#my gifs#lmk MK#lmk Mei#lmk Azure Lion#lmk parallels#asks#Wait wait wait LBD Samahdi Fire mech also wields two swords#HMMM. Swords as proof of *using* power perhaps

love that space podcasts fuck you up. just delightful to discover. all the new ways in which I can be fucked up. by fiction.
#Erraticus#Slowly listening to an AI break down over the course of two seasons#Assuming they're going to be non-existent and having very little hope of recovery but taking the small chance they do find#And also going just long enough between reminders to almost forget that one of the main character's partners was assassinated#And said main character has been carrying that burden the whole time#Its fine

just learned that people are like legitimately pissed that mackenyu buffed up for season 2 ???
#opla#mackenyu#mackenyu maeda#one piece live action#arata mackenyu#one piece#opla zoro#like there are ppl making jokes whatever whatever and then there are ppl that are quite literally clutching their pearls#add this to the list of times that the anime/manga fans said rude/unnecessary things about the opla actors and their bodies#for anyone confused: some other examples include asking whether or not emily would get a breast enhancement to be “manga/anime accurate”#and asking whether ilia would lose weight because alvida gets skinnier later in the manga/anime#<- she did but because idk whether she made the decision herself (either a personal choice or for the show) or not i'll just leave it there#(that sentence lowkey made no sense but hopefully y'all get the gist)#but anyway#they're basically talking about how it's a continuity error and he's only supposed to get bigger after the time skip#BRO THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE'S BODIES !!!#like yes they're playing fictional characters but without the help of prosthetics they're just going in with their actual faces and bodies#the fact that you thought someone who filmed the first season in 2022 would look the exact same in 2024 (especially muscle-wise) is insane#there is next to no way he could've made his muscles look the exact same way#even if he did the exact same workouts and ate the exact same foods and just did everything the same#IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS !!!#and bodies (and the way muscle builds on them) already fluctuates over the course of days weeks and months#IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT CAN CHANGE IN TWO YEARS !!!!#like this is actually ridiculous#i have nothing against one piece fans as a whole#but the fact that there are so many creeps and overall weird people who have no grasp of reality in this fandom is so...I DON'T EVEN KNOW#like who is gonna be watching season 2 going “wow that was so good but i wish that zoro was smaller it really took me out of the show” ?!#LITERALLY WHO?????#i will just be sitting in my little bubble dreaming about zoro crushing my skull with his arms while y'all lose your minds

Petition for that volcano from Texas to spontaneously open up underneath Gerrad, then immediately closing and going back to Austin.
#it doesn't even make sense for Gerrard to be there#one: he old.#two: he had a HR downfall in that exact firehouse#three: said HR downfall was over people still working there. decorated people even#anyway. i will highly enjoy Buck clocking him in the face next season#then getting suspended#and saving Gerrard's life somehow#leaving Gerrard saved but maimed enough to never set foot into the 118 again#all this happens in the first episode of course#I do not want to deal with him longer than that#911 abc#911#911 spoilers#911 7x10
