YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)
Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!
My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).
As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)
#dema answers#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla fanart#katara#atla art#arcane fanart#arcane netflix#arcane#atla katara#katara fanart#katara of the southern water tribe#Except here it's#Katara of the Undercity#Because I say so#And because an Arcane AU would be so fun to think about#arcane au#Katara and Sokka would be from the Undercity. Which has pretty intense connotations when you realize that means Kya was killed by Enforcers#But I digress#Sokka is an engineering genius whose dream is to study at the Academy and change science as we know it. At the same time he's a pragmatist.#He knows that's all they ever will be: dreams. So instead of chasing useless wishes he focuses on using his talents to help his community.#Katara is all about the social cause. She's a natural leader who would do anything to help those in need. Which gets her in trouble often.#She would never cross the line like Jet and so many of their fellow Zaunites do—she wants peace and prosperity for her people.#But that doesn't mean she's afraid of having to fight for their rights. On the contrary.#I think she and Sokka would create some Firelights-esque community. They bring people together and care for them.#Even weird tattooed kids with an odd connection to the Arcane itself.#Zuko is a former Heir from Piltover. His father holds a seat in the Council and is not afraid of underhanded tactics to gain more power.#Ozai banished Zuko from his home with the condition that he could return only if he brought an end to a rebellion in the Undercity...#...and got rid of an object of great power that would only bring destruction upon his people.#(But nobody ever told Enforcer Zuko that this supposed great weapon that the people of the Undercity stole...was a kid.)

I’m sorry but the context of ‘suffering’ is so funny to me
Like- Imagine you’re trying to get home, to your wife and suddenly, three days sailing away from home, your WIFE is standing IN THE WATER trying to convince you to join her
Just- what’s happening? Why is she here? The sea is at least ten metres deep here how does she stand?
#if the sirens weren’t magic they would never convince anyone#their math ain’t mathing#realise that Odysseus needed to check if it wasn’t his real wife#with the whole ‘I’m afraid of the water’ thing#and the daughter#and that’s the smartest man#nevermind he lost that title when he yelled his name at the cyclops#suffering#epic the musical#epic thunder saga#epic odysseus#epic penelope#epic sirens

i think it's time that we as a society realized that actually eternals wasn't bad it was just not standard marvel fare and that's okay
#maybe i'm biased#it is my favorite marvel movie after all#but i truly think so much of the hate was that it was a diverse cast with overtly pro-choice messaging that freaked marvel fans out#is it flawed? yes. but all marvel movies are#but something about that found family and cast and creative team that clearly cared deeply about the story they were telling really got me#there was so much care put into the making of it!#lauren ridloff (makkari) made name signs for all the characters because she is actually deaf and wanted to make the film good representatio#and all the cast learned basic sign language so they could talk to her on and off the set#it's so unlike every other marvel movie and that's why i love it#it's not afraid to push boundaries and be strange and make mistakes#and i'm so sad that it will never get a sequel because there was so much potential for those characters and their stories#i wanted to see makkari and druig realize they love each other#i wanted to see them deal with the fallout of their actions#i wanted to see the family fracture and then see them all find their way back to each other#i wanted to see more queer representation in a character of color whose whole story wasn't all about being queer and isn't just a cameo#i wanted more!#and i'm not afraid to admit it!#maybe it would have been better as a tv show but i dunno. i switch thoughts about that a lot#i think the alternating timeline was really interesting and kept me engaged the whole time but i am definitely in the minority for that one#but i also don't like endgame so. you know. maybe i can't be trusted#anyway that was a whole ass essay#if you read all that hope you enjoyed. drink some water. give yourself a pat on the back. i love you.#the eternals#marvel#drukkari

SUPREMELY frustrating that we found something actually really cool and intriguing and plot relevant in tonight's session but I'm still so constantly preoccupied with whether the DM is going to 100% kill us with sheer poor game design that I barely have enough brainspace left over to even enjoy it
#the first half of the session was a random-off-a-rolltable encounter that had nothing to do with anything and gave us literally nothing#and used up all our resources and took a REALLY long time because it was-- you guessed it! another deadly encounter for some reason!!#that's 100% of the encounters we've had so far!#and EXPLICITLY not related to what we were trying to investigate AND creatures that drop neither loot NOR BODIES#(two wil o the wisps and a water wierd)#we did a lot better in this encounter but it WAS deadly going off CR#and the point is now we've done just a short rest and THEN found the Plot Thing-- which our bard used up a bunch of resources to access#SO NOW IT'S LIKE. OKAY LOOK. I WANNA PLAY IN THIS SPACE BUT YOU KEEP TRYING TO KILL US WITH THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IMPORTANT#ARE YOU ABOUT TO WHOOPSIE-DOODLE US INTO A TPK ON ACCIDENT HERE???#like... it FEELS dangerous and A Bad Idea to engage with in a way that paradoxically SHOULD mean it's safer in a game like this#like-- okay if this was ACTUALLY as dangerous as it feels we wouldn't BE here on session six. does that make sense?#like when justin had us encounter a lich at level two in session three and I was immediately like OH okay he must have a plan here.#clearly some Scripted Plot is going to happen because there's no other reason he would put us up against a lich three sessions in. you know?#we started dying immediately and I was not afraid at all as a player because I trust justin wouldn't do that for no reason#or be so stupid to have that happen accidentally#THIS CAMPAIGN HOWEVER.... I DON'T TRUST LIKE THAT!!!#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU WASTED ALL OF OUR RESOURCES ON A RANDOM ENCOUNTER FIRST AND YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALIZE WE COULD USE THE ITEM YOU GAVE US TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITH A 5TH LEVEL SPELL#I WANNA PLAY IN THE SPACE BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE'S ROOM FOR RISKTAKING WHERE THE BAD OUTCOMES WOULDN'T BE UNFUN CATASTROPHIC#AAAAUUUUGHHH#[shaking him violently] what do you mean that random encounter was a deadly encounter again what do you MEEEAAN#'oh huh this fight's taking longer than I thought' THEIR AC IS 19 AND THEY'RE RESISTANT TO NONMAGIC DAMAGE??#THE WATER WIERD KEEPS DISAPPEARING BACK INTO THE POND WHERE IT'S INVISIBLE??? MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HOW DID YOU EXPECT US TO DO IT FAST#hhhhhHHHH!!!!#I SHOULD BE THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL THE SECOND HALF OF THE SESSION GENUINELY WAS BUT I'M TOO STRESSED TO HAVE FUN#cannot stress enough that I'm in a million campaigns and I never have this problem with other DMs or with Highly Dangerous DnD Situations#melliwyk's party are in mortal peril constantly and it's... reaching a point where it's tiresome for how badly it's wearing on the PCs#but it rarely feels unfun stressful as a player playing a game#I never feel like the DM is about to accidentally end the whole campaign by bumblefucking us into a TPK at random#you know? it's different. this just feels unmanageable

thancred bein bad at romantic relationships is so much fun,-
my wolcred also started as fwb before than goes "fuck ive got feelings"-
REALLL with katsucred i love the juxtaposition of like.
katsu, who is completely fresh to relationships and just takes everything in stride and hardly worries about "what they are" bc he's confident that they're close enough friends that thing will work out
vs thancred, who is seemingly super experienced on the outside but is actually terrible at genuinely expressing his feelings bc he's gotten so used to putting them aside for his work. trying to convince himself that katsu doesn't feel the same way and that he shouldn't get attached even though absolutely everything points to the opposite.
they're both SO stupid and need to actually TALK! about wtf is going on. and they do in late STB but honestly i don't know if early SHB would be better or worse for thancred if he was still in a weird limbo abt this guy that he's come to feel so strongly abt.
#is it worse to be separated from “guy who youve been on and off with for a few months and finally got a chance to say you love him”#or “guy who youve been on and off with for a few months but NEVER got a chance to say you love him”#for FIVE YEARS ?#either way its torment nexus for mr waters#genuinely thank fuck he gets the whole ryne minfilia thing in SHB bc it helps him start communicating with katsu better too#he slowly gets more openly affectionate past there#and by post 5.4 its the opposite where katsu's so afraid of losing thancred that they're telling eachother i love you every other night#SHB kinda put the fear of god into this lizard#mfs cant catch a break. be normal damn!!!#oc rambles#shadowbringers spoilers#katsucred

PHOBIA OF SEAWEED IS AN ACTUAL THING?????????????????? you see i am not afraid of the open waters nor am i scared of the things that live there,, like i regularly spend time watching deep sea videos i think they're so cool but oh my fucking god the idea of KELP IS MAKING ME LIKE ACTUALLY TWITCH EEEEEEEEUUUUUUUGHHH okok actually looking at it is kind of fine but the thought of it touching my feet is genuinely making me wanna throw up😭😭😭😭😭
#this is such a stupid thing bc sometimes it's fine#i live by the ocean i am a fish i have seen seaweed i have touched seaweed but it's different when you grab it on purpose compared to it#just randomly touching you#DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE#OMFG I'M GONNA SPIRAL#like once i thought i was gonna drown#mickey lore time#we were paddleboarding with my family and then me and my brother got off it and we started swimming to the shore and like we're both very#good swimmers so this was nothing insane aaand there were no waves or anything and my parents were still close by#but then at one point i was like oh i wonder how deep this actually is and i went under and i tried to touch the ground and sEAAWEEEDDDDD#EEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I FEEL SICK JUST THINKING ABT ITTT#and it freaked me out so fucking bad and then i suddenly felt so tired and i just wanted to get out but i was still far away and i couldn't#stop thinking abt how it's gonna touch my feet again lmao#and i was very very very close to a panic attack in the water😭😭#oops#anyway i survived and i never told anybody i thought i was gonna drown bc i am not a pussy like that whewwwww#also. when i played subnautica (i only played for a few hours) i was more afraid of the fuckass kelp forest than anything else😭😭😭#i started thinking abt this bc i saw a video of a man in this dark scary cave (????) and like it was fine i was super intrigued until he pu#his fucking foot on the rock and you can just see the layer of seaweed i almost jumped out of my bed FUUCKKK THATTT

My t swift posts rarely make a splash but if I may get on my soap box to compare two lyrics from “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” rq
Regardless of my thoughts on the rest of the song, “I was tame, I was gentle ‘till the circus life made me mean/don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth” is an AMAZING pair of lyrics. It’s effective, heart wrenching, and incredibly visual. The kinda line that makes you run your tongue over your own teeth to make sure they’re all still there. It’s almost a tear jerker and it’s one of Taylor’s specialties: a highly specific line that becomes universal in the way that so many people, specifically women, feel silenced and traumatized by what life has done to them.
Compare this to “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.” Which should be just as effective, but I don’t think it is. Partly because it’s more accusatory in tone but mainly because it almost IMMEDIATELY became a meme. Taylor nation was posting the pic of the five holes in the fence with this lyric. And yeah, if you find one you relate to, it can be a funny meme. But it adds a little bit of corniness or millennial style humor to a song that insists on taking itself completely seriously. Like women were stabbed in the brain and killed in asylums, you just didn’t get tickets for a concert.
Now obviously Taylor wasnt raised in an asylum but she’s never been in a circus either but she really only received backlash for the asylum line. Circuses and asylums can both be places of incredible abuse but, personally, I think the circus is a much more apt metaphor for the entertainment industry. It embodies the often cannibalistic nature of celebrity along with the call of the spotlight.
Throughout this whole album Taylor keeps trying to evoke the “crazy poet locked in an asylum” imagery and I just don’t think it works for her. It’s an image that removes her agency in a life that she 100% chose and built for herself. She is much more the circus performer who feels they can never quit than she is a clinically insane patient in a hospital. WAOLOM loses its effectiveness when it stops being a lament on the trials of the entertainment industry and instead becomes an insistent whine that Taylor swift the individual will always be the victim.
#the circus like tells you what happened and you infer that she’s suffered and feel sympathy#the asylum line says that you will never suffer as much as her and you think about it for two secs and realize that’s just not true#I will give her a little grace because she is certainly not the first person to cartoonify mental health#like pop culture has watered down asylums etc a lot in recent years#taylor swift ttpd#like she’s sooooo close to the point#Taylor swift#ttpd#the tortured poets department#the tortured poets dept#who’s afraid of little old me#song analysis#lyric analysis#ts ttpd#waolom

Ok sorry I’m long overdue for a follow up of these tags I left on your post lol. Here goes: In my brain, the role of a cop is a very masculine one. Like obviously there are female cops but whenever they appear in media ( at the ones I’ve seen) they always are very masculine. So with Hayward whole thing about performing the role of a standard cop I think he was also performing masculinity in a very standard way. His whole arc in season 2 has also been about learning who he is outside of that performance so he I think he can also start to experiment with gender and get silly with it. I think that’d be good for him. maybe this only makes sense to me but thank you for the space to expand upon me ideas.
This is paige and Hayward season three. my final message
I just saw this response omg loving where you head is at... gotta get this out on the record before s3e3
#he can be gnc like harry dubois never let himself be#the silt verses#investigating officer hayward#hayward's gender has GOT to be weird like his whole thing with his wife who doesn't exist is SO gender#god I need to go back and rewrite 'come hell or high water' to make Hayward's wife not have been real#I think Jon and Muna have heavily implied that Hayward's wife was supposed to exist at the end of s1#but Jon decided to make her fake retroactively just to fuck with us#(in a 'just to fuck with us (affectionate)' kinda way#I don't believe in rewriting fic to conform to canon but the fact that THAT'S the fanon they canonized is *so* fucking good#a tasty tasty treat for us gremlins#but his wife that doesn't exist... he's like an alien in a human body doing a dane cook routine at work#whenever he talks about his wife who doesn't exist hating him I'm reminded of that John Mulaney bit#of 'my wife's a bitch and I don't like her? That's not a comedy routine! That's a support group for men in crisis!'#like Hayward. you invented this woman#she isn't real#why did you make her a bitch who doesn't like you????#and who YOU are pathetically still in love with#Like that's the craziest thing he doesn't even portray himself as in a failing marriage#he portrays himself as being desparate to stay in a failing marriage even though he isn't in love because he's afraid of being alone???#like hello am I speaking English here that's fucking insane in the membrane#siltposting#anyway thank you for answering my ask sorry to write this tag novel when you were just trying 2 help

waverly wip (the anatomy and the way the hair moves may be a bit off but alas ill manage to fix it)
#i just scribbled a bit for the hair followed a random flow that my mind assigned#its the water motifs im afraid… makes the hair looks wildly defying of physics#oc: waverly cresta#thinking of her and bridal imagery!!#the white dresses the way she looks pale and haunted like a gothic ghost bride constantly#her existence marked by her mother’s wedding and the subsequent loss of any hope of hers as a result#(disclaimer its not that having a wedding is the most important thing ever waverly is just comphet and has family drama)#oughhh it makes me so insane!!#something something femininity something something love something something class#how waverly probably wants a wedding that is nothing like her mother’s that she will never have#she is dressed as the ghost of all she might have been and the reason why she will never be!!!!!!!#my art

If you could change one (1) thing in the LoZ-franshise and it would become canon, what would you change?
Ooohhh I've seen some of these milling around!!
For me I would change this:
LET THEM HUG DANGIT☹️
Like, im a romantic at heart, so I always would prefer to think Zelink is cannon, but even if they explicitly were confirmed as just friends or even if they ended up being family - LET THEM HUG AT THE END😭🥺
I love hugging my friends and family!! I adore showing physical affection! I've hugged coworkers and held hands with members at work to comfort them when theyre upset (if they initiated. Im not that dense to be touching strangers without consent lol. Ill ask people if i dont know them well enough to know what theyre ok with).
All of this to say: I don't feel good and I want hugs, so thats my answer lol. (Though believable lore/timeline connecting the games would be fantastic haha))
#despite the rant#i almost never initiate physical touch#i love receiving it#and i crave giving it#but im always afraid people would be disgusted with me for trying lol#thats why if someone initiates it first my brain goes “FRIEND” haha#and i slowly test the waters#i had to teach my brother that im not trying to bug him#i just want hugs DANGIT#my dear sweet mother is just as touch deprived as me tho so i can cling to her as much as i want and we're both happy haha#ANYWAYS#sorry this became a weird and unnecessary rant#its my time of the month can you tell?Lol#sweet fwoosheye#you got more than you asked for 😅
