Note to self: NEVER make your first time drawing a character a whole ass comic
Anyway. Since I've drawn both Cherry and Nadiya interacting with the Tulpar crew so far, I figured I'd need to make something with Stefan as well. I have a lot of ideas for this whole thing now tbh, I did NOT plan all this to happen halp
I also want to apologize for all the Daisuke fans, it was NOT a smart choice to make my first drawing of him a long ass comic strip OTL

Well, it's finally out. The Russian election interference myth has been staked through the heart.
A lot of people are owed apologies. All the journalists who got it right (Mark Ames, Michael Tracey, Consortium News, The Grayzone, Ted Rall) deserve to be heard. The ones who got it wrong deserve to be ignored.
And I bet Trump is happy...though fortunately for the sake of Justice, Fani Wilkes, Letitia James, and E. Jean Carroll are helping him face justice for his real crimes.
Alas, Durham pulled his punches. No charges against Robby Mook or Alexandra Chalupa. No charges against Christopher Steele. No charges against the Ukrainians who did interfere. No charges against Stefan Halper. No charges against Dimitri Alperovitch and Crowdstrike.
Still, the truth is out.
And, with Russian interference debunked, Russian doping debunked, and Russian hacking debunked, it's time we took a long hard look at all the sanctions from Browder's bill of attainder to the recent attempts to punish Russia for protecting the Donbass.

Finally, after 2 days I finished this. There's a LOT going on, I'm gonna put the context under the cut. Also fun fact; I kind of imagined Cherry knows Anya from medical school.
(Side note; the scenery image used is a photo I took years ago that I modified for this)
OKAYYY soooo...as I've been planning this rescue crew - which originally was supposed to just be inspired by MW, NOT characters for the fandom lol - I concluded something that I felt would be kind of interesting story-detail.
Stefan is literally the ONLY more "macho" masculine guy in this crew. Even with the 3 characters I got left to make, 2 are women and the third is Very Gender.
Stefan is also pretty intimidating by default, so I started to think; what if Anya (and Curly) would initially be pretty scared of him, because he reminds them of Jimmy at first glance? because they don't have all the context right away, that shows he's NOTHING like Jimbo.
Given how their first meeting goes in my head, Anya specifically only really learns 3 things about Stefan right away, and has no full context for them:
He's kind of aggressive
He's potentially violent
Somehow could instantly tell she'd been harmed in some way by their current "captain."
What she's unaware of, is that
He's sleep-deprived to hell at that moment due to a very pesky communications fault he spent Ten Damned Hours fixing
He was pretty much ordered to eliminate the threat by Nadiya, (initially just meant to incapacitate him, but because Jimmy insisted on NOT taking responsibility, Stefan had no choice but to kill him, as otherwise he'd probably gotten killed, and his crew would be in danger.)
He's seen that look before, from his mum. He knows painfully well how awful some of his fellow men can be.
So, this comic is kind of symbolic thing about how Anya slowly begins to understand, that there's no "Jimmy" in this ship, no dead pixels. Just a very grumpy, sleep-deprived wolf dad who looks after everyone in his "pack" (I.E the ship), that unfortunately has a pretty mean resting bitch face by default.
I could/maybe will make Curly's P.O.V version at some point too, I just don't have a clear idea for it yet.

In this documentary, Anthony Wilks traces the connections between the events of Eric Hobsbawm’s life and the history he told, from his teenage years in Germany and his communist membership, to the jazz clubs of 1950s Soho and the makings of New Labour, taking in Italian bandits, Peruvian peasant movements and the development of nationalism in the modern world, with help from the assiduous observations of MI5.
The film features contributions from Frances Stonor Saunders, Richard J. Evans, John Foot, Stefan Collini, Marlene Hobsbawm and Donald Sassoon, as well as Hobsbawm himself in extensive archive footage.
A rare documentary, artfully constructed by the digital producer for the London Review of Books Andrew Wilks, screamingly relevant themes, engagingly paced, accompanied by music with a purpose. At the center is a life of a historian, a multilinguistic with big ideas and a torch fuelled by personal heritage and experience, pointed at phenomena, movements that propel change since modern history began.
One of my favorite historians of the modern world! Marxism hardly ever gets in the way of his clear outlook, and his prose is always a delight.

Who would you cast in a tvd au of Misery by Stephen King?
Hey Anon,
This is like a weird question for me because I honestly just wouldn't do this like at all. Not because I don't love the movie or Stephen King, but because I never do fics at all that don't have Bonnie as the main character. I don't care about any of the other TVD women like that and they have enough material and fanmade stuff out there without me adding to it. Any AU stuff that I would even imagine would be Bonnie centric and I could never see Bonnie as an Annie Wilkes character for a number of reasons. Just.....🤪nah.... Even if you wanted to argue that it would be fun to write Bonnie unhinged, the whole her being isolated and violent and pathetic don't work for me. While Bonnie never got to show her anger on the show she was plenty isolated and they tried to make her seem pathetic so nope....Plus Annie's anger wasn't valid at all. Annie Wilkes needed to die point blank at the end of Misery and I would never write Bonnie into a role where I would kill her off (the show did. that shit enough too highkey ).
Moreover, absolutely none of the men in TVD are worth that much obsession or fixation and losing your shit over (no matter what the fuck JP tried to sell with that basic ass "romance" writing), like the most I could say would be it would be fun to torture any of the men outside of like Tyler because he got that shit enough and maybe I could excuse Stefan, but any of them other hoes could get got, still even that's a no because Annie's character motives and whole situation was just sad to me even though Kathy Bates killed that shit...the men would be the victims in the situation and none of them fools deserve to be seen as victims especially when in full blown canon if Bonnie tortured all their asses she'd be valid.....so just no. 😂 If I had to be hard pressed and do it it would probably be gender swapped so Bonnie would at least be the one on the end of the fixation and surviving, but again I would not want Bonnie tortured or a victim because they what..... did enough of that shit on the show and her fighting for her life ain't entertaining for me so....Yeah this is just a whole lot of no for me. I know AU requires suspending disbelief but this ain't it. Can't do it. Sorry. Love you though. 😂
#lmao#bonnie bennett#i was the wrong person for this ask#anons#replies#tvd#bu seriously though#no#i hope this don't sound mean#i am not meaning to be#give me any other au#any other stephen king almost

i’ve noticed that my shorthand critique of the “south park caused anti-semitism” theory of media has been getting some attention, and it’s funny cause it dovetails with another round of “the youtube algorithm is responsible for turning everybody into nazis” rhetoric as well, sparked by a recent new york times article. this sort of navelgazing is pretty popular because it works nicely with beliefs that both elites and liberals in general have, namely, that public opinion needs to be managed by an enlightened few, that some people are too stupid to participate in civic life and that’s why right wing populists get elected, and that if people are educated correctly, they will simply accept that liberalism is the best model for society. in short, it’s behaviorism, namely, the hypodermic needle model of media.
the liberal elite in interwar america believed themselves to be creating a better society through management of public opinion. figures like walter lippman were committed to benevolent elite rule through the manipulation of opinion, the “manufacturing of consent”. many of them came out of the milieu of manipulating popular opinion through propaganda work in the first world war, successfully convincing americans to join and support the british side in that war. edward bernays, for instance, worked for the committee on public information, the “largest propaganda machine the world had ever seen“, before becoming the intellectual forebear of the public relations industry in america. he and other similar figures, like lippman, carl byoir, and charles merriam (who combined behaviouralism with political science), were the leading lights of the “Progressive” movement of the time. they relied on the notion that media was passively consumed by people, who simply accepted the claims made without hesitation and then acted accordingly. the psychological theories behind this found form as a body of work known as behavioralism. human beings had a set of limited or “latent” responses to stimuli. by providing the correct stimuli, human beings could be made to behave accordingly. one day, society would be governed by the truly intelligent who would suss out the correct stimuli through trial and error and then apply them to the masses, a society of pavlov’s dogs. this top-down model not coincidentally empowered liberal elites to do what they will without any input from the masses.
this was termed the “hypodermic needle” or “magic bullet” model of media. both of these are medical terms, the latter referring to a drug that treats only the disease without any side effects, and that’s quite telling. american progressives have traditionally exalted medicine as a neutral, rational way to develop a better society. many were advocates of eugenics as a form of medicine, “cleaning” the human race of its “unfit” members. recently, there’s been a strong resurgence of interest in eugenics, behavioralism, and the use of medical terminology to describe media (viral video, using the metaphor of contagion).
proponents of the model in the 1930s referred to the success of the nazis in their use of mass media (ironically, using the same propaganda techniques they’d developed. joseph goebbels was known to be a reader of bernays’ books) as well as the payne fund studies, a series of works done on the responses of children to movies with poor methodology and funded by oil magnates hoping to drive moral panics (the hays code was strongly influenced by them), and the panicked reaction to the 1938 orson welles radio production of war of the worlds in support. of course, all three of these shared very specific material conditions of the people involved that drove them to react in the manner they did apart from the media involved in persuasion. for the decade after the first world war, while germany muddled along without growth but also without significant collapse, the nazis failed to attract more than a few percentage points of electoral support, despite consistently using similar tactics. it was only after the economic collapse of germany, when the economy had shrunk by about a quarter, that the nazis gained traction. even then, this was by using the failures of a liberal constitution to turn their electoral base, only one third of voters who were largely based in rural areas and included almost nobody in the major cities, into a workable governing coalition, particularly by playing on the fact that german liberals feared communism much more than nazism. likewise, the panic over war of the worlds was largely a myth created by newspapers which feared they were losing their audience to a new, more dynamic form of media and wanted to stoke a moral panic (see a parallel with the nyt story?). those who were convinced that an invasion was occurring, according to a study done afterwards (in part by theodor adorno), for the most part had only heard a bit and were concerned about a german invasion, given the heightened geopolitical tensions at the time, or were from the town of concrete, washington, which suffered a blackout midway through the performance.
you can see the same sort of threads in the nyt story, while the important parts go ignored by twitterati eager to engage on the most superficial level. “young men discover far-right videos by accident“ thanks to “YouTube and its recommendation algorithm“, “the most frequent cause of members’ “red-pilling”“ according to a study done by the NED(ie western intelligence)-funded bellingcat, after which they fall “ down the alt-right rabbit hole” as passive subjects reacting to stimuli. clearly, these videos spread like a contagion, and it’s our job to ban them in favour of much more legitimate content that supports major western foreign policy objectives. oh wait, hold up, mr cain was a “college dropout struggling to find his place in the world“, at a time of wage stagnation and a tough job market for newer entries that’s especially pronounced as you go further down the education ladder? he “grew up in postindustrial Appalachia”, an area destroyed by rapacious neoliberalism that has increasingly seen its industries move offshore in search of lower wages, its most dynamic members leave for major cities due to a lack of jobs, and those that remain become increasingly socially isolated, prompting them to either resort to social media or kill themselves through drugs and guns in what famed economist angus deaton calls “deaths of despair” (not to mention the limiting of public spaces to those who can pay, another aspect of neoliberalism, which particularly drives teens like mr cain into "online games with his friends”)? in a world where capitalism justifies itself by telling those it fails over and over that it’s their own fault, that they need to improve themselves and that there is no such thing as structural problems because, in the words of margaret thatcher, “there is no such thing [as society]! only individual men and women”, mr cain was drawn to propaganda masquerading as a self-help grift with an emphasis on supposedly knowing more than the brainwashed masses (”To Mr. Cain, all of this felt like forbidden knowledge“)?
most of all though is the fact that most of the people cain watched are either funded directly or take most of their talking points from a network of right wing intellectuals cultivated by major dark money backers for decades. david rubin takes money from dennis prager, who in turn is funded by fracking billionaires and evangelical christians the wilks brothers, and the bradley foundation, who have funded literally every major right wing cause of note. lauren southern is only famous because she worked for rebel media, funded by much of the oil industry including the kochs as well as the bradley foundation. paul joseph watson is associated with ukip and its funder arron banks. gad saad is funded by molson coors, whose corporate heads not only once praised hitler but founded the most famous republican think tank in the country, the heritage foundation. two of the major members of the “intellectual dark web”, charles murray and christina hoff sommers, work directly for the heritage foundation. and other youtube luminaries of note, like alex jones, thunderf00t, and stefan molyneux, make their money solely by doing interviews with these people and by citing material produced from these think tanks. in a world where inequality is increasingly dividing the rich and the working class, the former spend more and more on maintaining the division, while the latter are driven into a state of fear in which absurd theories about the collapse of western civilization and their replacement with latin american and muslim people seems much more reasonable. There’s also the social isolation that makes youtube celebs and discord chat buddies seem less like distant weirdos and more like the only friends one has.
the solution, of course, is to modify youtube’s algorithm. just a bit of top-down tweaking to educate the masses on their correct course. surely, nobody would be stupid enough to think that the material conditions created by the neoliberal elite in the past few decades has driven a complete collapse in trust in american society, to the point where only a third of americans "trust their government “to do what is right”“, compared to over 80% of chinese people. surely this breakdown in trust is due to youtube and not the complete economic decimation of the country by its elites, to the point where many rural counties have not even recovered the jobs they lost a decade ago. a redistribution of wealth should not even be on the table, because material conditions play no part in how people react to media. just accept your daily helping of bullshit from the bourgeoisie and never question them when they say certain people need to be censored, because the powers you let them have will never be abused or turned against you in any way. and hey, don’t listen to any critiques of behaviorism, because it’s not like anarchists blew that shit out of the water in the 1950s.
#this is like the fifth time i've seen a mass media article about an alt-right converso who cites contrapoints as key to his damascus moment#i think the only time i saw one of her videos i was annoyed with how she failed to critique some of the deeper issues with what she discusse#something about that golden boy swedish guy i think#other than that all i know about her is the heavy critiques that a lot of trans people have levelled against her#it feels like she's being promoted by the media as an acceptable left winger in the gatekeeper model#but i really don't know enough about her to say whether that's true or not#if anybody's got any thoughts or whatever#cause there's no way i'm sitting through a bunch of fucking youtube video essays#i should stop writing these while drunk in the middle of the night over the course of 2 hours#i can't even tell whether i brought all the themes together in the ending paragraph because i don't remember what i was thinking in the intr
