on principle opposed to describing art i dislike as 'masturbatory' because even though it's an alluringly contemptuous word to sneer it's impossible to reconcile with my pro-masturbation stance
#it's such an ugly word but like. self-pleasure is good‚ actually#it's good to know yourself and what you like and lovingly treat yourself to it!#like similarly 'meretricious' is extremely tempting if you ignore the underlying metaphor#but. hard to.#language#and quite frankly i think people who whip out 'masturbatory' in this sneering sort of way#are leveraging‚ if we're honest with ourselves‚ a particular framing of it as a gross thing that boys do#because like. when have you ever heard a *woman's* self-indulgent art described as masturbatory#like don't get me wrong we absolutely still dismiss it! but we dismiss it in other ways#that are usually about how embarrassing her *yearning* is#and so even our sneering is reinforcing an idea that men Act whereas women Feel#anyway this was prompted by some things but i shoved it in the queue so now i forget what lol#so here you are getting some contextless thoughts on the use of 'masturbatory' as sneering dismissive assessment!#just what you were hoping for i'm sure :)

Headless Headmistress Bloodgood redesign!
I've been wanting to redesign her for a while, in a way that would marry the aspects from each of her designs that I like. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out!
At some point I would like to design some more Monster High teachers and staff, because no matter what gen, that school is struggling.
#monster high#monster high fanart#headless headmistress bloodgood#nora bloodgood#monster high redesign#i feel like i should have drawn her with her head off but i quite frankly couldn't be bothered#no way in hell im drawing that damn horse either#anyway you guys know that fairytale about the girl who has to wear a ribbon around her neck otherwise her head falls off and she dies?#i think that's bloodgoods mother#ive seen that story called so many things im not sure what the official name is#the velevet ribbon? the green ribbon? the red ribbon? idk#my first exposure to that story was through the wolf among us <--great game#i wanna design a vice principal but figuring out a good monster type is hard so if yall have any suggestions im open to them#also...ive looked at this drawing on three different screens and the colors look different on each one#im on my macbook right now and i think it looks the best#id in alt#my art#sabz art

Honestly my personal Shadowzel head canon is that shadowheart is uming and arring about catching strong feelings in a friend with benefits weird situationship because lae'zel doesn't seem to want more, while lae'zel is convinced she is with the love of her life.
This is mostly on Shadowheart for not bothering to work at a cultural barrier but it's also a little on Lae'zel who refuses to use any terms of endearment that aren't in Githyanki, a language she mostly switches to in order to insult people.
#Shadowheart#lae'zel#shadowheart x lae’zel#shadowzel#listen i have not romanced either of them. i am still in my first playthrough and quite frankly i took one look at them#and decided im not getting involved with their werid ass toxic yuri until i orgin as one of them. but in my heart this is true#but in my heart this is true#laezel *says the most down rights disgustingly soppy thing in Githyanki *#Shadowheart: ugh she hate me but i really like her and respect her. shes so hot. and the sex is so good. why dies she keep insulting me#in terms of person to snap shart out of this i nominate astarion for pure humor points.#he and shart get worsties drunk and she starts talking about her relationship troubles. and then lae'zel comes over after#staring at Shadowheart like shes her world and staying incredibly close to her. maybe asking to wrestle with her.#and astarion is just looking at shart like girl are you serious? she is standing 2ft from you at all times#looking like shes going to murder anyone who looks at you funny.

“requiem for methuselah” crazy ass episode for many reasons. Kirk is being fully insane, like I don’t actually think, even controlling for how quickly and easily and readily he seems to fall in love with anybody at the slightest encouragement, that he’d go that bonkers for that android woman he just met while everyone on the ship was this close to dying, but that’s neither here nor there, because in the background you’ve got an equally but much more subtly insane episode for Spock, who extremely uncharacteristically admits to experiencing an emotion (or nearly experiencing, whatever) and that emotion is ENVY of all things. And then spends the rest of the episode warning Kirk away from this new love interest (something that doesn’t usually happen, even when Kirk has very inadvisable love interests) and is, in the end, the person who accurately identifies that Rayna’s competing love for Kirk and Flint is ultimately what overwhelms and destroys her with the most killer line in maybe history???
And then to wrap it up we get an equally uncharacteristic sort of denouement scene (TOS loooves to cut an episode off right after the actual climax, leaving little time for falling action or character reflection, or to stick a sitcom-y button on the end where the gang all smiles and laughs at their misadventures and everything resets to zero, which is not a criticism, it’s just the style of that era of tv, honestly) where Kirk is literally miserable over Rayna’s death (again, kind of unusual for a lot of his love interests, he tends to be able to move on pretty quickly) and Spock goes to see him and he falls asleep right in front of Spock (also odd) and then when Bones comes in to give the final word on Flint, Spock waves him off from waking the Captain (tender) and Bones gives him that awful speech about how it’s sadder that Spock can’t even imagine the love Kirk felt for this random android woman than it is that Kirk lost her in the first place (debatable but also rude) and how his great tragedy is that he can’t love at all like they can and how all he wishes is that Kirk could forget about all of this and move on. AND THEN, to have Bones leave and Spock go over to Kirk and very gently, tenderly, reluctantly touch him and put his hand to his forehead and tell him to forget and HAVE THAT BE THE END OF THE EPISODE??? What am I supposed to do with that??
#‘the joys of love made her human. the agonies of love destroyed her’ hUH. What a cool line.#hope it doesn’t become some sort of…thesis statement for you or something SPOCK#listen my number one beef with the way they write bones is that they just make him completely mischaracterize everything to suit the plot#this man is not an idiot he KNOWS Spock has emotions and just suppresses them#you’re going to tell me he’s been on that ship with Spock for years and thinks he feels no love whatsoever for anyone???#like even after what happened in the empath and in that episode where McCoy thought he was dying#he knows Spock loves people!!! COME ON#does he really just mean romantic love?? that’s so boring WRITE HIM BETTER#also they’re banking a lot on people remembering what the Vulcan mind meld is for that last bit#like I know it comes up a lot but…this is 1968 or whatever. They don’t have this shit on dvd to rewatch#you’re counting on really dedicated fan memory here or on people catching reruns#because otherwise it just looks like Spock waiting to be alone to touch Kirk as tenderly as possible and pray he forgets this woman#truly what’s going on#anyway I kind of hated this episode#like quite frankly there was too much going on#are androids people? would Kirk fall in love that hard that quickly and choose it over the safety of his crew?#why wasnt the illness ravaging the crew a bigger deal??#they didn’t even get into WHY flint was immortal#he was just a regular human and apparently the ONLY one who was granted immortality by the earth’s atmosphere#leaving aside the very creepy and very early born sexy yesterday trope going on throughout#but it was a really good Spock episode if you just….dont look at anything else….#the writer for this one also did Day of the Dove and Mirror Mirror which explains a LOT#two other episodes that are interesting for the character dynamics but really chaotic plot wise#anyway imagine saying to Spock’s face that he has no idea what love can drive a man to do#one has to laugh#tos#star trek#as always…. I’m sorry that I’m Like This

Now that the Grand Fest has officially come to an end and the winners announced, I would like to give a few words.
To Team Past: Congratulations big time for your win! You put in the good fight and prevailed despite, quite frankly, overwhelming odds (and out of our two opponents, you were the ones I would've wanted to win, if it wasn't us)! Well well done! 👏👏👏
And to my fellow folks on Team Future: Well done! We faced the same overwhelming odds as Team Past, combined with Past's odds stacked against us, and although we came in a very, very dead last, by Joe we didn't go down without a fight, and the effort alone, the drive to never give up, deserves praise enough. That just makes us underdogs, just like the dear idols that represented us! And unlike the Past or the Present, there is no way of escaping the Future, it'll come whether you like it or not! Be it tomorrow, next week, or next year, we will, eventually, prevail! Because we're the Future, and the Future is the marching passage of Time! Well done, guys! Well done indeed! 👏👏👏
(have the Splatpost I made after the fest ended. it's the exact same one that I had for the fest, but I just added the underdog part)
#splatoon#splatoon 3#splatfest#grand fest splatoon#grand festival#squid sisters#callie splatoon#marie splatoon#off the hook#deep cut#shiver hohojiro#shiver splatoon#frye onaga#frye splatoon#big man#to team present: L lul gg ig#i'll be honest i'm not a fan of off the hook#like yay they're lesbians good for them live your truths queens but#they're so unbelievably rich that it negates any of the brownie points they would've gotten from me for being gay#eat the rich#meanwhile deep cut = best idols imo#they're common folk who steal to give to the poor#they're the people's idols#they're also better queer rep (they're not confirmed queer like pearl and marina but there's enough threads for me to weave a tale)#polycut#shiver is a she/they lesbian and big man is a he/him butch#frye is cis as hell but is an ultra simp for her genderqueer girlfriends#i love them#this turned into a deep cut appreciation post in the tags and i'm quite frankly not sorry#this lesbian stands with deep cut

Petunia literally abused Harry bro 💀 and pointing that out doesn’t mean we’re downplaying her grief or bc she’s a woman
yall are gonna freak out when you realise that abusers are also human
#’she literally ABUSED—’ yes ? and i still find her captivating and interesting#abusers are almost never just evil monsters#they’re human beings who chose to do that to you#they actively chose to treat you that way Knowing Better#and just putting the label ’abuser’ on a fictional character is so boring omg what about character studies#some people can be unredeemable ! and i can still sympathize#ive said it before. im never going to forgive my abuser and would probably punch you if you asked me to#<- but some people love my abuser and my abuser have real and good relationships in her life#shes not Evil and Monstrous all the time#but she was that way with me#people aren’t one dimensional ! life isn’t that black and white !#and its frankly quite childish and downright strange if you dont have the capacity to understand that#i literally talked about how my narcissa had good intentions but unredeemable in an ask like. the other day#nuance is interesting i fear :/#some people dont break the cycle of abuse and some people dont grow up to be good people#doesnt mean thats all there is to them i fear#anyway!#asks#also who said anything about her being a woman. that was all you king#also. sy’s post had nothing to do with petunias relationship with harry ? yall are just pointing that out because you hate women#<- now i said it!#like sy was making an interesting point about petunias grief about losing a sister she barely knew anymore but grew up with#and yall have to come in and be like WAAAAHHH SHES AN ABUSER THO DID U KNOW DID YOUUUUU#grow up

I am routinely baffled by any criticism of jgy fans' interpretation and defence of his character that can be boiled down to "but genre conventions!!!!" as if defying genre conventions isn't how newer, cooler, more interesting stories end up being told.
#like whether this is what mxtx was intentionally doing with jgy's character is quite frankly immaterial to me#(or maybe not immaterial; I would love to sit down with her over a cup of coffee/tea and listen to her talk about jgy sometime)#(but it likely won't change my interpretation of how he is presented in the text)#the text says what the text says and author commentary about that text is just that: commentary#extratextual commentary can be interesting but the story itself stands alone#and the story as it stands presents us with an extremely compelling antagonist character whose journey rewards the reader with new#and interesting discoveries in the text#new interpretations and parallels and revelations#with each subsequent re-read#he's a banger of a character and insisting that his fans throw out our textually grounded analyses of him because 'genre conventions'#is so boring. and tedious. and depressing.#mdzs meta#jin guangyao#he did crimes??? good for him 😌

Ok so I like this game
#anyone that's been here a second knows how i feel about the elven gods as an enemy concept#and everything the inquisition set up#but that being said#this game itself? this far? it's fun its cool it's good#treating it like an au really helps with my personal gripes fjdjdj#but the main thing is that you no longer have this overwhelming chantry bullshit to deal with#im just playing Rynn Thorne as a warden who's trained under my Mahariel for a bit and frankly nothing will ever scare him as much#so he's here he's chilling he's goofing off#not quite matching the tone but also not jarring#also i love bellara so much . so sorry to her for 100% inevitably being the dreaded third wheel#all this being said bro where is davrin don't leave me alone with a man with an accent im going to buckle and start romancing him 😭#riv plays dav

aurghhh ok still rewatching '97 and the way guts and casca only have the room to breathe and really come to understand and care for each other in griffith's absence because he has such a strong hold over them both.... and the way their mutual dedication to him is what causes them to bicker for years (casca thinks he's not serving him well enough, guts thinks she doesn't get that he cares/how much he cares, casca's jealousy over griffith's feelings for guts, how he won his heart without even trying or being aware of it or doing anything with it) and is also a big part of what brings them together (earlier when guts deviates from the plan to save griffith and she commends him, in the cave casca opening up about griffith and her's past, showing that vulnerability, while it's mostly confrontational, leads to guts kinda getting her better, and his efforts to save and protect her (falling off the cliff with her, taking on the 100 men so she can escape, encouraging her to return to griffith so she can help him because it's what she feels she's meant to do (her dream, the direction in life guts shares and yet is questioning because of griffith's speech at the fountain, whether or not it's enough to serve him if it means he'll never be a true friend in griffith's eyes because he's not an equal), supporting the idea of her being with griffith/being his most important person like he won't because he doesn't view it as a competition like she has been since day one) leading to her realizing that he's kind of not that bad a guy and they have a lot more in common that she thought. and how the bonfire of dreams conversation is guts opening up to her in kind, the answer to her talking about how griffith saved her, how she feels. how neither of them ever call it love but it's something they know they both have for griffith. how it's something they're beginning to have for each other, different in ways they couldn't put a word to. because they're equals this time. the way griffith kind of becomes less and less important as they find other reasons to live and fight, as they become less singularly obsessed with him. how griffith is unable to stand it, guts' personhood, that agency and peer-to-peer equality he claimed to want (and perhaps truly did) that disappeared guts from his life, his plans, his side. how it barely even matters to griffith how casca changes because he never wanted her like she wanted him. god i can't fucking stand their shakespearean nonsense drama (<- hopelessly in love with their interpersonal dynamics)
#god they're the only healthy part of this unholy mind-palace love triangle/throuple aren't they#they could have been the worst qpr/throuple in your social circle. like just insufferable when they're not getting along#if griffith hadn't [oh god oh fuck oh jesus christ] all over everything even remotely good in his life anyway#poor casca's in love with a gay man and then falls for his not-quite-boyfriend and when not-quite-boyfriend reciprocates said gay man fucki#g. Does The Eclipse Stuff. at least partially to get back at you two. oh my godd#i'm sorry i'm so not normal about them. it's starting to leak out into the blog bc i'm finally having a Berserk Moment since starting tumbl#but whewwwww. gotta get this outta my system#hope this wall of text makes sense oops <3#berserk#berserk 1997#how do i even tag their thang. their disastrous just horrible agonizing 3 guy dynamic. hm.#gutsca#griffguts#don't even know if anyone tags for griffith and casca. fair because 1) he raped her. yikes 2) he just straight up isn't into her#and i don't know if there's a tag for the three of them but trial and error led to nothing#but i wanna talk about their dynamic. their. (gestures wildly) whatever. it's not about thinking griffith should kiss anyone it's about lik#the agony. the pining and the torment and whatever miura so beautifully crafted for me specifically. sheesh#hope it's clear that i Don't Want Them To Be An Uwu Little Polycule Bc Casca Should Not Be In A Cutesy Throuple With Her Rapist#it's more that i think they kind of are or almost are part of this (gestures wildly again). Thing. with each other and i wanna talk about i#same with griffguts like oh man they should NOT be in a relationship. but i have this deep intense Need to study them and frankly they're#kind of crazy about each other for a while. like they care about each other so so much it's crucial to all three of their characters.#so it's kind of unavoidable. and i wanna talk about it. and have this read by people who also want to talk about it. yeah? yeah.#(and yeah i think griffith raping casca was about her and guts. like 'fuck you for making him okay with leaving me' type of vibe. even#though it wasn't her fault he's just. god. but it sure as hell isn't Mostly about casca because griffith's making eye contact like the Whol#time with guts. he makes him watch. it's just. shooooooooooo aughhhhghhghh fucking. jesus christ. that or it's the fear that his two most#important pawns are going to leave him Together and he just. can't deal with that. especially after the torture internment thing.#he's so weak and he was so close to his dream and now it's falling apart and they're leaving him and he can't even move. it's about making#damn sure they can't escape him or forget him ever again.#or maybe it's even a 'you can't have her she's mine' to guts but it's still largely like. spiteful/about possessing her as a soldier/human#because i don't think you could convince me it's about having her as a lover or about controlling/hurting/possessing her body.)

"relationships between 19 and 29 year olds are not inherently bad!!! normalise not being morally affronted whenever you see this!! people can have common interests!!" "and i do think that romantic relationships with this age gap are WEIRD but thats not important" i mean. okay.
#chaos.txt#like . way to ruin a good point 😭#okay let me put it to you this way. a 29 year old woman with a degree thinks that a 19 year old guy with a great + successful business#is good for her and makes her happy. is this “weird”?#are you automatically assuming an abuse of power based on the Stereotypical portrayal of people in age gap relationships#if it is LEGAL and they are both FULLY CONSENTING i don't give half a shit what people do with themselves#abuse can and does happen. ANYWHERE. and quite frankly the bad cases are the loudest#but that does not mean by any means that romantic relationships with an age gap can't happen!!!#like. you guys are so fucking weird about this. if there's no signs or indicators of abuse at All don't be freaked out#Literally by just the age gap.

thank you to @thatweirdnoise for pointing out to me that the qsmp among us was called a mini event by the qsmpen update account, and could therefore be argued canon with the cubitos… bc it gave me a thought
look, i’m not saying that (q)Cellbit and (q)Roier AKA the imposter duo murder husbands™️ remind me of f!Cell and c!Roier… but they remind me of them
#i know chafaland isn’t canon as far as we’re all concerned#BUT the ship exists and quite frankly it’s a good one SO#it is what it is#also the idea of qbaghera using a computer from wherever the fuck the feds put her#is so fucking funny to me#qsmp cellbit#qsmp roier#spiderbit#qsmp#take it all as you will

c*thy and chr*stie are the same in that they will both get labeled "successful" for what happened under their "leadership" but at the end of the day all the good things that happened happened in spite of them.
#nothing cathy has done in the past 24 hours is surprising#you're telling me a deloitte ceo wanted to focus on prioritizing revenue over being a decent human being?#over attempting to tamper down the racists who are selling out gain bridge?#why would she do that#i also saw a tweet that said oh she only said something after stewie said something [in a post game interview not even presser]#while that is technically true it's not why#her pr team was probably in motion when that video was blowing up on twitter#and then especially after the union put out the statement#i do think they should get a new commissioner and i've heard some good names#but i think it would take a lot to get her fired especially with the growth of the league as it is happening now#but that she doesn't know or doesn't care about the majority of the players in this league [this is about race and sexuality#but it's also about player health and safety#don't forget about what the schedule was before the break and quite frankly what it continues to be#you could have had people playing every three or four days#instead you cram 4 games into a week and then give a week off#or the planes]#that should be considered as damming as economic failure#because the players are the product#and their physical and mental health is important to maintaining the quality of play#if you had to make an argument that's not about being a decent human being

Getting very tired of media outlets and fans making the GUTS release about speculation of which songs might be about Taylor. The focus should be instead on how good the album is.
#taylor swift#olivia rodrigo#if they had a falling out that’s none of our business#like the focus today should be about how good this album is not which songs are about Taylor#and quite frankly it doesn’t seem like there’s any song about her#like the only way Taylor should be brought up is how you can see shades of her in Olivia’s writing

#oh my god. like real freak behavior. its like an obsession with confirming something to themselves#i think the most shes ever said publicly abt relationships is just that she was going through a breakup filming.#and ppl do this on everything or like Wow too bad she has a bf. what do u know! share w the class. and its always just a pic w some random#guy shes standing next to like these ppl arent even being accurate in their freakery.#get real#like quite frankly i dont care its not my business what shes up to she keeps her shit private for a reason.#but like i dont think we need to obsess over whether shes gay baiting or something. i wouldnt give a single fuck if she was first of all#shed win ally of the year for a million years at my request cause she looks good doing it!#good and dykey. but also be serious#k well im really the normal one here i promise#abby talks
