(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

#svsss #shang qinghua #shen qingqiu #sqh #sqq #cumplane #discworld #my art #sqq 100% knows how to delegate meanwhile sqh is here trying to run a sect a demon kingdom and juggle a bunch of secret conspiracies #his little rodent heart is going to explode from stress at this rate no qi deviation necessary #i'm gonna need to draw sqh more i really don't know what i want his design to be yet but i like him a lot #if anyone has any sqh drawing prompts send them to me i need some ideas to play with (WITHOUT SPOILERS THOUGH I'M ONLY ON BOOK THREE)#i was scrolling back to see the last time i had drawn cartoony cursing to remind myself which shapes i like to use and wow #it looks like it's actually been a while??? it surprised me because i really love drawing them #i laugh any time i see them in a comic #anyway what are the odds i reread unseen academicals again before the month is through? highly underrate pratchett novel imho #variations of this quote is actually used a few times in the discworld series i think but this is the one that stands out to me #when stibbons reveals just how much power he actually has at the university #*chefs kiss*#the wizards are so dumb i love them so much

The fact that Dustin saying "and yet you still have a C in Spanish" is followed pretty closely by the counselor saying "[you have] a C in English and a C- in Spanish" to Max, referring to her depression causing her grades to slip...

I feel like more people should have picked up on Mike's mental health issues (as in, y'know, his depression).

Just saying.

#like i know we have confirmation from Finn but I feel like it was made so obvious???#then again i feel like i pay more attention to mike than the average viewer so who am i to judge #(also even with that confirmation i've seen people refuse... which is dumb)#mike wheeler #stranger things #stranger things 4 #mike wheeler needs a hug #mike wheeler defense squad #mike wheeler defender #jay's saying stuff :)#jay's talking ST <3

I STILL WANT TO LIKE HIM AS MUCH AS I LIKE PIM YA KNOW #well not As much. he could never compare to pim in my personal mind #but yknow what imean. so im happy that probably means we’re getting more of him kinda in s2 #Aauauuaau so excited #Also i still hate drawing him #never wont #smiling friends #pim pimling #charlie dompler #Dumb name … stupid guy…#💝#charpim is soo scary to actually tag like woah guys who said anything about all that.. hey now #odieart

i mean the number one issue with an rr adaption from hbo is they’re gonna make robert and rhaegar main viewpoint characters when that defeats the whole goddamn conceit of the narrative choices in the books and we know i love robert but robert should ONLY be viewed thru the lenses of those that knew him!!

#but like they clearly don’t think a stark pov is ~interesting enough 🤧🤧#so they’re not gonna do ned #when arguably we shouldn’t see lyanna’s pov either #it should be like wylla or ashara #but also they’re just going to want to do different povs than they’ve done before imo bc they don’t want to like #~retread old ground which is why the entire concept of splitting this series up to dozens of different adaptations is dumb #ned & jon arryn & catelyn & jaime & probably brynden & elia & rhaella & willem darry #are all the narrators u need to be focusing on but i know i just Know they’re not gonna #bc again i live viserys but. that’s not who they should have focused on in hotd lol. and Yet.#getting on my soap box #i’m sorry for putting the negativity out there an rr movie is my worst nightmare

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

#dbtag #I do not understand this writing it's so bad aklsdlkasjd #Toei wants Goku to be Clark Kent SO bad and he SO isn't lmao #they're so good and dumb and rounded and complex in the manga what is the anime so afraid of #Toriyama said 'no no this man is a detached faux-immortal who has a dear pure heart but he's childlike and selfish even though he's kind'#and toei went 'got it goku's never done anything wrong ever in his life'#toriyama said 'Vegeta's gone through a lot and he's finally settling into his more mature leadership role with the confidence he's earned'#and toei said 'got it vegeta has the confidence of a high school bully except now he can interact with his family as a comedy bit'#girl hWHAT #Toei trying to group Goku and Vegeta as two people who would rather train than be with their families and Toriyama said NO Vegeta wants #to be HOME this is the first time in years that he's HAD ONE and it makes him HAPPY to be with his wife and children!!#Vegeta trains so that he can protect the things he doesn't want to lose again and Goku trains because it's the thing that makes him happies #They are NOT the same lmao And yeah Vegeta still wants to beat Goku but he also knows that Gohan could dogwalk both of them if he wanted #He also knows Trunks and Goten are going to surpass them it's not about being the best anymore he's past that he just wants to Not Need Gok #He just doesn't want to have to rely on Goku to save the day he wants to be Enough on his own he just wants to know he can be #because every time it's mattered he WASN'T and people he loved were lost to his inability to protect them and he carries that #Like Whis diagnosed him with anxiety and cptsd out in the open and Beerus said he was self-centered for feeling guilt #+ he lowkey enjoys the rivalry it keeps him goal-oriented so he can't get complacent and lazy which is what triggered his Buu Saga breakdow #realized how Fucked Up it was that having a home and loving family made him feel like he was failing and went 'wait no I won actually??'#now he's chill as fuck in the manga. cool confident leader.#and sometimes he is childish and dumb with Goku as a treat #you know what rocks about his rivalry with Goku in Super though is that it's Playful. Vegeta is learning how to Play.#You ever seen a shelter dog get introduced to a really playful dog and it takes a minute for the shelter dog to understand it's safe here #And then they're both running around the backyard playing hot potato with one braincell?? That's Goku and Vegeta's relationship #and the way the anime sleeps on that dynamic is so fucking criminal especially when it's literally canon it's in print it's out there #you had the playbook how'd you fumble it this bad #anyway that's my 25+ year blorbo thoughts I love Geets a lot okay #And I love Goku in the manga a lot I'd forgotten that he's actually a great character when Toei's not fucking up his whole vibe

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.

@punkeropercyjackson @punknicodiangelo @pinkpinkstarlet

#like none of the dumbasses i've seen say this shit have been poc and HEY IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT #because actual black and brown men know that their oppression is not based around masculinity but around RACISM #because if it was about masculinity then feminine men of color wouldn't face the same oppression and would be privileged over them which #is not true #it's also worth mentioning that black and brown WOMEN also face these same issues of being seen as more aggressive/strong/violent and thus #more dangerous even more so than our male counterparts so it's not an 'anti-masculinity' issue it's a fucking racism issue #plus once again feminine women of color also face these stereotypes #when we are masculinized even while presenting as feminine that isn't anti-masculinity you dumb fucks that's just racialized misogyny #and misogynoir #it is incredibly telling that white transmascs who use this argument never even mention women of color and that's because if they did then #their entire headass argument would fall apart because it's not about MASCULINITY being oppressed it's about RACISM(which newsflash women #experience too) and masculinity being assumed of black and brown people(women included) is just another facet of the white supremacist #gender binary not any form of masculinity being 'oppressed' in this society lol #don't even get me started on how these men misuse butch lesbians in their arguments as well and act like they are man-lite ugh #sorry but as a black woman i am officially pissed off rbn #like y'all love to spout 'intersectionality' and shit maybe *throws book at them* ACTUALLY READ UP AND LEARN WHAT THE FUCK IT MEANS #stop misusing words created by black women to prove that men are an oppressed group on god you mfers are annoying #anyway the lesson learned here is that white trans men are just as insipid and racist as their cis counterparts #pos the lot of you #racism #transandrophobia is not real #op

I love that this fandom doesn't understand Baxter's character, I adore how they patronize him,a whole ass adult, for facing the consequences of his actions.

I love how people make him feel like a sad little baby when he leaves mc as if that's not something he made extremely clear. I love how people treat this 19 year old as if he's not old enough to understand the consequences of his actions. I love how Baxter is aware of his flaw's but feels like he can't break them because people only see him as a tool and this fandom reinforces that.

I love how people will get mad at Nico for doing the cardinal crime of being 6 years old but will baby a 24 year old Baxter. I love how people make him this charismatic rich guy when it's shown that he's a hot mess that doesn't know what he wants. I love that Baxter's whole character arc is about his self sabotaging tendencies and how everyone ignores that. I love that people fell in love with the mask he had for most of the dlc.

I love that this fandom lacks reading comprehension skills and understanding of nuance characters, great job everyone for not understanding how writing works :)

#our life #misty talks our life #olba #our life beginnings & always #our life beginnings and always #olba baxter #our life baxter #baxter ward #this is what i mean by “i don't haye Baxter's character” i think hes very interesting and we should look towards his dlc with critical eyes #because it's a fact that his dlc was rushed and that kab/gb lady doesnt care for him #it shown in the writing of his dlc #so that is interesting for me but is also interesting for me how ppl are quick to baby this man #like again baxter is fucking 19 when he leaves mc “but misty 19 year olds aren't fully growns up” hi 19 year old here #i know that bitch but im old enough to understand that my actions have consequences and affect others #which is smth Baxter is aware of as well #that's fhe thing that bothers me #hes young enough to make that mistake but old enough to understand it will impact mc view on relationships #romantic or platonic smth like that will affect you in some ways #and he knows because hes not a young teenager who still doesn't know how his actions impact people #hes legally an adult he can live on his own hes able to ride a car hes off to college #is not a grown up but is not a child either #as a 19 year old I would love of ppl treated him as a young adult making a dumb mistake #instead of a baby who didn't know any better #like even if he did regret it he knows that thats his fault #hes aware that hes doing this shit to himself and wont stop #thats the point of his dlc #anyways i should make a post on cove's autism

Event sounds like itll be a good food for nene oshis and i hope yall enjoy but me personally im celebrating management emu mention

#if i hear one more person act like emu is this innocent lil bean who knows nothing about the world i am going to go crazy #she is like 10x more mature than half the cast she just enjoys being silly goofy #i had an irl (who i believe mainly gets fandom from insta and tiktok bless their heart) tell me the other day that theyre scared to mention #that they ship polysho because “people get upset at shipping her because shes childish” which just BAFFLED me and i need to know the people #who said that so i can smite them #anyway maybe mentioning that emu is working towards the management side of things again will remind people that she is not an uwu baby #though knowing the reading comprehension of some of the fambase thats not gonna happen #alas #this wasnt meant to be a rant about the fanbase being dumb sometimes but we're here now #deal with it

No one:

Me: can we talk about gaius and uther for a minute. like I do think their dynamic is meant to echo the dynamic of merlin and uther in the original Arthurian texts. like. guys who have made each other sooo much worse. one of them being complicit in the horrors tm but they are too codependent to break up so they just wallow in their guilt while the other spirals into tyranny. (did I just use ‘codependent’ and ‘break up’ in ref to uther and gaius. yes)

I don't know much about og uther and merlin but that's a fascinating thought. do you think it was intentional? probably not. but I love when you can perceive some flavour of the original arthurian texts in bbc merlin's characters/dynamics

#nell may i say. it's so funny to me when you interact with my dumb bbc merlin posts like #what are you doing in my inbox? you're an academic #but I do know your origin story.#its funny you're making me think about young merlin again because I was thinking about him only yesterday #I mean bbc baby merlin but still #i literally wrote a tiny bit about it too. literally just two paragraphs which i dont think are going anywhere. maybe i'll post it idk #baby merlin. fatherless and weird and off-putting #and lonely #the devil's child. maybe #so many feelings about him!!#i was going to make a post once. about nods to arthurian texts in bbc merlin #or even things that aren't nods but could be interpreted as such #like. the false guinevere plot #or arthur fighting magical creatures. idk. because that's what he was doing at first before he started fighting saxons #idk maybe this only makes sense to me. i didn't write it in the end. it doesn't matter #anyway yeah uther and gaius. what's going on between them. fascinating #it's like i always say who cares about merlin s6 #merlin prequel! if anything #asks

I know we all love a good winter cold but ngl I've recently been obsessing over the idea of summer humidity mixed with a humid headcold.

Like, it's one of those hot-and-humid-before-a-storm type of days, and they're definitely coming down with something. A sticky heat clings to their skin, and they keep having to pause to press their wrist to their nose with a soupy sniffle.

When the storm finally rolls through and they're caught in the rain without an umbrella, they almost appreciate that the wind and rain cools them off a bit. A waterlogged sneeze seizes them, leaving their nose streaming. Given the rain, there's not really anything to be done about it.

They find a building to shelter in and wait out the storm, but when they step through the front door, they're hit by the air conditioning on full blast. They sniffle, but the dry, frigid air irritates their airways, prompting another wrenching sneeze that they barely manage to catch, their hands snapping up to their face. Mess pours from their nose and drips between their fingers. They frantically snuffle against their palms, but to little avail. Another sneeze tears through them, just as soupy as the first. With a shiver and a groan, they resign to stepping back outside; the air is too cold and dry in here. At least the rain will do away with some of the mess coating their hands and face.

By the time they return home to their partner, they're absolutely drenched.

"I, uh, think I'mb comi'g down with somethi'g," they explain with a sniffle. Their voice is sultry in both senses of the word.

"You think?" their partner says with a mischievous smirk. They wrap their stricken partner in a dry towel and presses a kiss to their lips.

#this was more than i was intending to write for this train of thought but im not complaining #i pulled out my good ol friend thesaurus.com again for this one because i was short on synonyms for humid #and my lovely friend thesaurus.com reminded me of 'sultry' which is honestly one of my favorite words #partially because of its normal meanings (which are already a little silly) and partially because of that dumb meme thats like #'LOL whos tye saultry little binch on the bottom lsft????'#if you know what im talking about im kissing you on the mouth
