#and I adore her completely

[somedayillbepeterpan]

I found this as a reply to one of my posts: https://www.tumblr.com/somedayillbepeterpan/751907694547451904/im-pretty-sure-that-this-is-in-the-same-thought?source=share.

I had an answer and it turned into an exposition so I'm shouting it to the Tumblr void.

And this is in defence of Polin's first kiss. Which I adore completely. Seldom do I see a page from a book I've read jump out of the screen so perfectly. I'll make a post about it this week.

But, my answer to the reply above:

To be fair, there will always be a degree of desperation to any brave move. You have to feel as if you have no other choice but to do what you need to do to confront the action of being brave.

Also, why shouldn’t Penelope feel despair when she was in a desperate situation? The very nature of her situation worked against her. The marriage mart was designed to attract the “best matches” that will benefit the crown. Just imagine, you belong to a low ranking family whose been riddled with scandal since your first coming out in society. When Penelope says, “It is impossible to be in society and not care what others think. Society is composed of the judgment of others" speaks deeply of what hand she was served and what she has been doing to accommodate that.

Imagine living there 24/7. I mean, we all still do in this day and age. So, why should we punish a woman, who is coming into her own and discovering her sexuality, for asking for a kiss? From her friend who she trusts and has given his complete support on her journey of self-discovery?

Colin asks Penelope why she wants a husband and her response isn’t about love but of freedom and comfort. So that she can finally be free of the society’s judgment. Haven’t we all been there? I find Penelope's description of love to Debling on Ep 4 so beautifully profound --

And so, when she says "thank you" for Colin's kiss, I praise her for being brave.

Because finally, she stepped up for herself to find a connection. Whether or not it was to the opposite direction of the man she loved.

So it's kinda interesting how Jinx is basically Caitlyn's own extremely malevolent genie. Every desire she has, Jinx fulfills, but with such a cruel twist that it almost defeats the point.

Want something new and exciting in your sheltered life? Well, one might say nearly getting blown up is pretty exciting. Looking for a real job to undertake? Here's a convenient pile of evidence leading you straight to the heart of a criminal empire. Good luck getting out of this mess though. Coworkers making you feel excluded? They can't do that now; they're dead. Longing to see Vi again? Don't worry. You will be taken to her, like it or not. Mum being too restrictive? Never again!

It's no wonder Jinx is associated with monkeys when her role in the show is ensuring a monkey's paw curls any time Caitlyn has a vague inclination towards something.

the way I was introduced to dc was teen titans in which nobody ever uses their secret identity ever. They never use their names, only their pseudonyms and that has stuck with me for some reason. Idek if they know what Robin looks like. Robin is Robin, Starfire is Starfire. Stop calling him dick grayson stop deadnaming him

doggett in 8.01 is SOOOO fucking funny to me in an absolutely awful way because he just has NO idea what is going on. homeboy brings mulder’s gravestone into the office, tells scully that he thinks mulder killed himself, then asks her, dana scully, his codependent basement soulmate of the past eight years over whom he nearly ACTUALLY killed himself MULTIPLE times, how well she knew him. at this point in the narrative scully is ACTIVELY PREGNANT WITH MULDER’S CHILD. read the ROOM john

You Know what I need?

Pirate Batfamily. Pirate batfamily who plunder other pirates and have both several smaller ones designed for outmaneuvering larger gally ships, and their big "batcave" ship.

Like, a mixture of historical piracy period of privateers and some fantasy, because honestly? It could and would fit.

Give me sea cryptid Batfamily that others tell tales of alongside ghost ships and sirens. Of a notorious ship with a blackened hull and a captain said to be made of shadow that appears in the dead of night to the laughter of sea nymphs.

Never getting over the panel of Sakura kneeling on Sasuke and Naruto's blood. Something about how many tears she has cried for them, how she worked so hard in case she needed to save their lives one day, how perfectly she fits into the space left where their arms used to be...

Also Naruto and Sasuke looking at her as she cries and heals them? The gentle glow of her own chakra made to mend what is broken? Naruto and Sasuke saying thank you and I'm sorry to her???

That moment is so gentle compared to the war they just fought, it might kill me.

Finally...

This is done...

I made some fanart for @cloudy-dreams. I thought her Sona was really pretty and adored how tall she drew her.

I'd also just decided to make my sona (Star) pretty small and pocket sized. I thought they'd make a pretty funny pair if I put em' together in the same artpeice. (plus, cloudy is. quite fun to draw and I had a wonderful time adding some little details like some very pretty eyeshadow)

Regaurdless, this was super fun, and I really hope you enjoy!

As always, reblogs and likes appreciated! Do not repost!

Today I went to a bunny convention! And met some photogenic friends

Matcha didn’t attend cuz I had to go to work right after 🤧 which I’m running late to rn. On account of having to stop to say hi to all the bunnies

Pictured: my entrance ticket and some friends up for adoption in the Mexico City area

It was hosted at a community garden, so the bunnies had a buffet of tons of grass and also some herbs and flowers that the managers kindly sacrificed. We humans got to try some of the produce too :]

I am once again reiterating that Leo could and should be a figure skater because what are ice skates if not twin blades? What is dual blade swordsmanship if not a dance-like performance? Using the skates as blades themselves could let Leo make portals be his ice rink no? I rest my case. ⛸️

I need "Ithaca's waiting~, my kingdom is waiting~

PENELOPE'S WAITING~ For me!"

Injected into my goddamn veins. I don't even have a lover but as soon as you hear that lyric, you just fucking MISS HER.

Penelope is just a name at this point. We've heard it said before (still with extreme longing but that's a different ramble) but we as the audience of this musical have not met her yet. But you feel that excitement and utter joy at the thought of seeing her once more. Joy for this woman we don't know. Just how he says it tells you that this man would do anything ("horrendous horrifying actions" type of anything) to see her again and keep her safe/happy. You just sit there loving her just as much. Love that he would kill you for even having

With the first two lines, it's his men echoing his sentiment: Excitement to go home. But at Penelope, it's ALL those voices together with no echo. Penelope isn't waiting for them like their homeland is, they don't feel that way for her. But Odysseus' adoration is so profound that it needs multiple voices to even release it. Even the fact that the chorus is silent at "for me" is telling you that the fact that she's waiting is what's most important. PENELOPE IS HIS HOME. He's "just a man, She's everything" type of adoration!!!!!! He truly would trade the world to see his son and wife!!!

Even with how he says "Full Speed Ahead" after that kind of drifts off like he's already daydreaming about it and I'm just a fucking MESS. He daydreams in the Odyssey already and I love it so much.

I LISTEN TO THESE PARTS OVER AND OVER! IT IS WHAT REVIVES ME!

while isha was very much a cutesy character that helped soften some of the harsh moments of season 2, i ultimately feel that her existence was unnecessary.

the moment she appeared onscreen and immediately tagged along with jinx, i got the sense that she was incredibly hamfisted into the plot for the purpose of eventually making jinx Suffer More. the progression of their relationship (which i understand happened over a timeskip, but seriously that timeskip is doing too much heavy lifting -- a problem in its own) from "annoying kid following me around" to "new little sister" isn't elegantly alluded to, it's constantly made extremely obvious. and just to make sure we get the point, riot puts the final nail into that narrative coffin by having jinx literally say aloud that isha is a basically a younger version of powder and paints her hair blue. and then two episodes later, she's gone. just to give jinx yet another reason to go insane, which she doesn't really need.

isha has literally no dialogue. she serves to remind the audience of jinx's past, minus the trauma. it's easy and expected to project a young powder onto every scene she's in, which is just a waste of a new character. but even before the direct isha/powder comparison, jinx declares that she's discarded that persona, that "jinx" is no more. somehow, isha's mere presence even calms down jinx's psychosis to the point that she has a mild break for presumably the first time in a while only after isha is taken away, which just feels extremely lazy and gratuitous -- like the big bad Insanity is just a convenient lever to pull when the plot needs more tension and drama, rather than something that jinx has suffered from her whole life, and which silco's death amplified to the max.

all of the interesting plotlines i was looking forward to, like caitlyn's spiral into vengeance and fascism, jinx's rage and grief and psychosis causing chaos, vi and caitlyn either reconciling or being unable to in the end... it all just feels like it was brushed aside. jinx, after firing a rocket that killed half the piltover council, decides she just won't fight piltover anymore; caitlyn, who's grateful for ambessa's support and guidance in her crackdown on zaun, suddenly turns on her to aid vi; vi, forgetting her life-threatening feud with jinx, abruptly remembers they indeed are sisters who shared a life. so many conflicts conveniently resolved in seconds, when they should've taken at least a few minutes to untangle -- all because we needed so much time devoted to isha and jinx's relationship.

don't get me wrong, i LOVE the emotional moments that have been present so far. i think they do still hit, but their beauty is definitely muted because the pacing is a complete disaster. it was really difficult to enjoy isha having a bug battle with jinx when 1. i didn't even really recognize that jinx and 2. i was constantly thinking about what the other characters were doing. with how many plotlines need to be wrapped up before the finale (zaun's independence, the black rose vs. the medarda clan, mel's supposed magehood, etc.), i'm really not confident that we'll get a satisfying ending, and honestly i wouldn't have minded not having isha in the plot at all if it meant we could get a more coherent and less rushed overarching storyline.
