honestly no movie I’ve seen has come close to capturing the dread of going through the wrong puberty. The average trans person has been through literal body horror shit and I feel like we don’t address that enough
#the truest repairman posts#I always describe having the wrong organs as feeling like some sort of Alien scene where it lays eggs inside you and you can’t do anything#About it#and cisgender people always look at me like I just shot a dog in front of them 💀#Sorry guys dysphoria is insidious and terrifying and ridiculously uncomfortable did you think I was doing this for fun#Transgender#Isttvg captured the dread part of this but the part where your body is being morphed into something that isn’t yours is yet to be#Properly explored#I’d like to say no movie has captured the horror of puberty as a WHOLE but honestly I don’t think cis people are going through all that#Whateverrrr

this just in: danny fenton is just as much of a mask as Brucie Wayne? - another danyal al ghul au
Turns out, being placed in a civilian family who have no knowledge of your background is actually detrimental to the health and development of a child assassin due to lack of proper support! Surrounded by strangers in a foreign city, Danyal Al Ghul does as assassins do best. He hides. Espionage is one of many teachings one learns in the League, and it only takes half a day for Danyal to construct a new persona to hide behind: Daniel Fenton.
By the time dinner rolls around, Danyal al Ghul is safely and securely tucked behind the face of Danny Fenton; brand new adoptive child of the Fenton family who came from overseas. A shy, quiet little boy with a thick accent and curly hair, with brown skin and blue eyes, and an avid interest in the stars. The best fictions are always cobbled together in a little bit of truth, it's some of the only truth he ever lets through. He apologizes in a meek voice for his behavior early, he didn't mean to be rude, and he watches the three of them eat it up with coos.
Lies roll like silk against his lips, he struggles to meet their eyes and offers them his weakest, shyest smile. It's too easy. It's easy to go from there.
Danny Fenton, adoptive son, shy and awkward and unconfident but friendly. Who struggles in his classes and isn't the brightest, but tries his hardest. He makes bad jokes and has a quick tongue and a sarcastic mouth. He wants to be an astronaut. He's got the best aim in school, and is a terrifying dodgeball player. He's one of the least athletic kids in his grade.
It's like playing two truths and a lie, but there's only one truth, and the rest are lies. It's easy to pretend when he knows it's insincere.
Danyal Al Ghul, grandson to the Demon Head. Deadly, trained assassin. Has spilled blood, has had blood spilt from. Environmentalist, animal activist. He loves the stars. He owns a calligraphy set. A sharp tongue, an even sharper blade. He's clever, quick-witted, he would be top of his grade if he tried harder. He purposely doesn't.
He misses his family. He misses his mother, and he misses his brother. Mother visits a few times a year, so few times that he can count it on both hands. He cherishes every visit, as brief as they are. It helps remind him who he is.
Sam and Tucker are Danny's best friends. They've never met Danyal, but Danyal's met them.
It becomes routine to become Danny Fenton. As familiar and as easy as pulling on a shirt in the morning. Danyal wakes up and is always first to the bathroom in the mornings; stares at himself in the mirror until he can finally see Danny staring back at him. At night, he locks his door and sheds the mask.
Dying throws a wrench in his mask; splits a crack straight through the porcelain. He's able to smooth it over with sandpaper and liquid gold, but it's a little hard keeping his ghost form under wraps. It instinctively wants to shift to show his true self. Danyal can't have that, he's spent four years as Danny Fenton, he'll spend another four as him as well. Even if the feeling of the hazmat suit in his ghost form feels restrictive, like a too-small shirt suctioned to his skin that needs to be peeled off.
He'll live. Er-- well, you know what he means. It's frustrating however, trying to keep his Danny Fenton mask up even as Phantom - fighting in the air is something he needs to get used to, and the sudden propping of powers throws him off. But he is nothing if not adaptive, and he hates that he needs to slow his own skills down in order to keep pretenses up in front of Sam and Tucker.
The first time Danyal summons a sword when he's alone, is one of the few times Danyal gets to grin instead of Danny. He's fighting Skulker, and from an invisible hilt he draws a katana from thin air. It startles them both. Skulker takes a step back at the smile that spreads across his face.
They're both silent as Danyal examines his new sword.
"Do you know what people like me do to people like you, poacher?" Danyal finally asks him, the accent he began to hide a few months in slipping through. He drops all pretense, dragging the flat end of the blade slow and appreciatively against his palm. It's a good make, and when he cuts it through the air, it slices through like butter. He looks up at Skulker with a smile; "are you ready to find out?"
When Sam and Tucker ask about why Skulker seems so skittish around Danny now, Danny shrugs at them and says with a playful smile; "I don't know, I guess I kicked his butt too hard after our last fight." and he watches as Sam rolls her eyes exasperatedly, and Tucker snickers with his own joke.
By the time he reunites with Damian before their 15th birthday, Danyal is buried beneath so many layers of Danny Fenton that his brother will need a shovel to dig him out. He's not sure what he'll find.

Keeping it a secret for so long has been torturous, but now that the game reveals are happening I can finally say that for the past few years I’ve been part of the player council for the upcoming DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD!
(The only photo proof I'm able to show is of me appreciating the Arishok's huge...tracts of land at Bioware Edmonton)
At this time all I can tell you is that my role was to provide feedback to the development team to help improve the game, something which has been very special to be able to do. Now that things are in motion, I’m excited to see what gets revealed with each official announcement…
#I'm very very excited that everyone can now know about the companions! Keeping a lid on Scout Harding especially was HARD#Seeing the official playtest where you explore minrathous makes my fingers itch to play it again properly. It's gonna be fun lads.#this was the opportunity of a lifetime and I'm grateful to everyone involved who thought my opinions were valuable#dragon age#harry life stuff

I deleted that last post because frankly I got embarrassed. But ultimately, I really would like to know if the new journal pages are suspicious on purpose.
Them being fake pages made by Bill is a theory I believe quite heavily in, and in my opinion there's a decent amount of evidence for it. It feels percentage-wise very few people agree. But I guess I just want to say, it's not that I'm just out here grasping at straws to discount a book I didn't like. What we know Ford to be like, what we know Bill to be like, and most importantly what we know journal 3 to be like, those are what the theory is driven by.
When I first looked at TBOB for myself, I got to the second page of the journal pages and the perception that I was reading pages written by Ford himself was shattered instantly. It was not repaired through the entire rest of the pages. When I was sitting around at work later, the next day after I had finished reading, I was struck in my mind by a bit in Ford's final message. "He's making it all up as he goes along." I know people have different readings of the meaning of that line, but for me that's what made me feel like maybe there's something to all this.
Suddenly it wasn't just "This book sounds nothing like Ford..." But rather "Maybe this book sounds nothing like Ford... because it isn't supposed to." And I started realizing stuff. Like "Hey... wasn't Ford drawn super incorrectly here?", or "Could this part really have happened?", or "Does this page make sense to even exist?". "What is it that creates such a strong sense of dissonance to these pages?" I have kept digging into more and more of what felt wrong ever since.
If you read through them without feeling like anything was off, or if there was it wasn't something you felt to be important, it makes sense my theory would not be for you.
But I believe in it.
And if I had my own chance to ask Alex, I would.
(Update: if you haven't seen the additions I made to this post, I ask you read them too)
#this one will probably get deleted too#who knows#bob investigations#explaining things is hard for me because its not that i think my idea is wrong#but rather- if i explain it in a way that isnt good- im ruining the ideas chance of being taken seriously and explored#like my failure to speak words properly is at fault#and im scared if i do a bad job explaining then ive like- killed it#i know that pressure isnt actually there and its a childrens book but thats what goes on up there#book of bill spoilers#the book of bill spoilers#long post

the real tragedy of tlou is that in saving ellie’s life, joel dooms their relationship. it’s not tragic that he killed a hospital of ppl and prevented a cure bcus we have no emotional attachment to any of those people or the notion a cure might actually work and fix the world. we’ve travelled across that world with ellie and joel and seen how it’s in pieces and how unlikely it could ever be fixed the way the fireflies imagine. but emotionally we ARE with joel and ellie and as we see them in that car and hear joel tell his lie and see ellie’s face, we know that things can’t be the same for them again. i am now and have always been of the opinion that joel lies in that moment to protect her from her feelings of guilt and the burden of thinking she has 2 save the world (and ive always said too he should have told her the truth eventually instead of her having to force his hand to get it), but regardless of that the choice joel made and the lie is always going to be between them. things will always be a little different now. an unspoken thing that eats away at the space between them, making it bigger and bigger. and that’s why it’s really tragic because joel picked ellie’s life over and above anything else cus he loved her and thus knew her life had value independent of being a cure to save the world and she should get to live it, but whilst she is living it (something she is only able to do cus he saved her), he has to watch from afar. he saves her and loses her at the same time.
#this is not me saying i agree with the complete estrangement they have in part 2#that’s still so divorced from the things they do for each in part 1 i just can’t see it#but ive always said that i can see their relationship being different/colder/not remotely as close#especially as she gets older and keeps asking about the hosp and he keeps lying like he should have fessed up when it was eating her up#and honestly the whole thing would have been so interesting to explore in part 2 if they’d done it properly instead of#killing joel off so fast and being very dull in how they explored their new dynamic with that lie between them#anyway i digress#tlou#the last of us#joel miller#ellie williams#the last of us spoilers

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Olympus
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#olympus#scenery#my gif#you could tell they wanted to make a good first impression with this world because they went all out#just think about how it used to be nothing but the exterior of the coliseum and the lobby#you can properly explore thebes now even if it is in shambles after the attack#and it's a surprisingly big town#then there's mount olympus and you actually get to climb all the way to the top#the base is so lush with all kinds of flowers and distant waterfalls it's gorgeous#until eventually you reach the rocky and cavernous mountain top during a severe thunderstorm#it feels very bleak and gloomy until you're suddenly greeted by the golden gates leading to the realm of the gods#and wow it's just stunning#really really beautiful world

Going into Alecto, I think it's important to expect that the series won't conclude with a clear lesson. Either about morality—what makes a good person, evil getting their just desserts, ect—or a thesis on decolonization. It's not that kind of story.
Deep down, this series is two drunk girls bearing their souls in a dark corner of the bar. An hours-long conversation that wheels wildly through pop culture, past trauma, theoretical physics, dreams and aspirations, global warming, hairstyling, friends, family, gender, personal insecurities, world history, favorite foods. It has a lot to say, and a lot of it profound, but it's not trying to teach anything. At the end of the night, the point was how fucking cool that girl was, and the potent electric potential for something lgbt to happen
#the locked tomb#alecto the ninth#ofc this is just my perspective#but I've been thinking of how the author said that the way she stays true to her story is by giving herself permission to not be a teacher#and that one of the driving forces behind her writing is the rpgs she played as a kid#and how everyone online made fun of the girl characters like they were weak and not good for anything#when she had played the game levelling them up and properly equipping them and beat the boss with them#and how she wants to be able to tell those stories where girls are just really fucking cool and get to have the adventures#so I'm kind of nervous about the idea that tlt is about the evils of colonisation or about taking on God as a symbol of the patriarchy#bc.... I think it might be exploring all that while really being about how girls are really fucking cool#and I'm worried about the potential fallout if a large portion of the fandom goes into the finale expecting those priorities to be reversed

to any and all of you making simmons-centric works where y'all go into his daddy issues, I need y'all to make him look just like his father. I need y'all to watch the anthology episode where O'Malley goes into his head and take inspo from that about his issues and upbringing. I need y'all to take in mind that man was FERAL in the bgc and wanted to be a favorite so so so much but also hated not being in control but also wanted somebody to tell him what to do. I need y'all, after his development, to make him look in the mirror and see his father staring back and just punch the mirror into shattering. I need y'all to take in consideration this man's daddy issues are so horrid and intense if he were in the 1950s he'd be diagnosed with hysteria and given a lobotomy.

I am thinking about them again.
#Uncle and nephew. IDGAF.#I'm imagining so many different interactions between them. The angst. The ANGST. The DRAMA.#They make me sick. Physically fucking sick.#The one-shot I wrote on them was meh. Mainly a block exercise. I should probably do something more polished so I can explore them properly.#harvey dent#two face#jason todd#red hood

Me seeing people on twitter talking about morally grey characters like they're completely irredeemable and makes them abusive rapists as a result even though the bad actions they've done is only comparable to a Wile E. Coyote cartoon skit but gorier:
#cw: abuse mention#cw: rape mention#so i was on twitter- [THAT WAS A MISTAKE I KNOW]#and yes im talking about tf2 here#murder is morally neutral actually and it doesnt inherently mean that someone is evil or abusive#bro new zealand in the tf2 comics is just atlantis NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY#“but medic kept spy's head in a fridge” IM SORRY BUT HOW DO YOU SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE#scout died in a emotionally effective way in the comics BUT HE BELIEVED TOM JONES WAS TALKING TO HIM AND WAS HIS DAD#even the angst have comedy in the comics#you can explore these characters in however way you wish and i encourage it but DO NOT force those interpretations onto others#putting the words “abusive” and “manipulation” on the top shelf until you mfs learn to use them properly#tf2#proships dni#f/o blog#tf2 spy#tf2 scout#tf2 demoman#spy tf2#tf2 sniper#tf2 heavy#tf2 soldier#tf2 pyro#tf2 engineer#[just me yapping]#ok to rb
