When the only person who might understand what happened- understand. Not sympathize or empathize or comfort you but understand what happened, isn't there anymore. Or: 'A Man Made Me Do Something I Didn't Want To', for when you can't talk about it or look it in the eye [Patreon | Commissions]
#Tuvok#Kes#comix#idk how to tag this bc of the allusion#st voy#star trek voyager#bea art tag#comix page#star trek#this is not a one to one allegory nor is it meant to be - I am specifically focusing in on the loss of bodily autonomy that occurs when#Kes and Tuvok have their bodies taken over purposefully by men for various reasons which all boil to power. 'Because I could' and Because#they thought Kes or Tuvok wouldn't be able to stop them from doing so. Because they thought they had the power to do so so why wouldn't#they? But again this is not one to one - I interpret and will continue to interpret these instances in many different ways#But something that sticks with me in canon is how 'impervious' Tuvok is made - There is that scene at the end of Warlord which#shows that Kes is affected by what just happened to her - she's confused and hurt and doesn't know what to DO now that the in-the-moment#fight is over and it's time to just keep living and Tuvok comforts her but when he will go on to be taken over again and again and again#there will be no one to comfort him - no one HE can go to - and the narrative doesn't say that there should be. Even when he's#taken over by the BORG (an experience which had a lasting traumatic impact on characters like Seven or Picard - granted they were connected#for a lot longer) this is only mentioned offhandedly. One wonders why it occured at all. There's also how the other two main Vulcans#T'Pol and Spock - when they are forced to act emotionally or are in situations that affect their emotional equilibrium there is a big deal#made about it and they are hurt and ashamed and given some degree of care and comfort by those around them but when Tuvok#is forced into similar situations it is simply assumed he'll get over it - not even just by the other characters but the narrative itself#takes it for granted Ex: 'Workforce' where he forgets ALL his Vulcan training or 'Meld' where Suder's influence#unintentionally makes him lose it and try to kill him...THOUGH I think Suder hugging an unconscious Tuvok is perhaps the closest we get to#someone comforting Tuvok after he's been through that sort of ordeal. I'm not saying Tuvok would WANT others to be hugging him#and offering him emotional comfort etc (he's Vulcan) but I find it interesting that the narrative assumes that the black body (even alien)#is more 'durable' than its white counterparts. 'Stronger'. Assumes that there is no interiority which recoils and sustains the damage#when hurt. That there is nothing worth exploring because there is no impact from the impact. A crater lands and the Soil beneath it is#untouched

Anyway I wish this show was actually bold enough to give Miguel an arc exploring his feelings of entitlement over the captaincy spot. Throughout the show Johnny has repeatedly told Miguel that Robby is a lost cause but hey, It’s okay because he has Miguel now. That Miguel’s his champion, his Number One Boy. So how could Miguel not feel at least somewhat entitled to the captain spot? How could he not feel insecure about his place in Johnny’s life with Robby not just back in the picture, but now literally taking the number one spot? When Johnny has repeatedly put into both kids heads that when it comes to his love and attention its one vs. the other, how could there be no lingering feelings of resentment and jealousy?
#like my kingdom for them to let miguel have Real Actual Feelings about anything ever!#i dont have any real hopes of them actually exploring this#i think any frustration miguel feels towards robbys will be framed solely in the context of him being stressed about getting into stanford#which is also like. i wish this show would show us WHY miguel cares so much about stanford#and its not like its not understandable!#people talk about robbys trauma bc its so plainly obvious#but after the year or two miguels had it makes sense that he wants a real tangible Win#that he wouldn’t want all the pain and trauma to be for nothing. that he can spin it as a triumphant story of how he overcame#some extreme adversity to get into one of the top schools in the country#but the show hasnt actually shown us that miguel feels that way at all#and i dont need them to spell it all out for me hut man it would be nice to give us SOMETHING. literally anything even remotely close to an#actual arc for Miguel before the show ends#and like none of this is miguel or johnny or robby hate btw…characters are flawed and thats a good thing#i just wish the show would actually explore the impact of those flaws on the people around them#and also jealousy is a very normal feeling as is competition in sports#but it would be cool if the explored how that is compounded by everything johnny has put these kids through and the way he has constantly#even if unintentionally positioned them against each other#but anyway!#cobra kai#miguel diaz#robby keene

i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. it’s such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.
#with their dads permission he’ll take Cottla and Koko on horse rides and they always have food ready for his horses when he comes into town#cottla wants to learn archery to be like him and he melts when he finds that out#all the kids in Hateno have been caught giving treats to his horses#this is a popular headcanon i think but him teaching the local kiddos how to sword fight so often times he’ll be found directing a horde of#children who’re all swinging treebaches around. he couldn’t look prouder of them.#imagine when he gets older and all the village kids r teens/young adults and all of a sudden the village has skilled hunters and foragers#and everyone’s like ‘wow what’s hateno doing’ and the answer is they all had a great big brother#by older i mean he’d be like. early thirties. but y’know ahsnfjks#wild’s impact should rest in the ppl i think. botw is all abt humanity’s strive to overcome hardship and find beauty in the misery#(well. it is to me anyhow lmao)#so i love the idea of his influence not resting in politics or myths or whatever#but within the culture and spirit of those he fought for#in my brain he definitely wanted to rescue Zelda at first and that’s the only reason he was going to fight ganon#but as his journey progressed he wanted to protect and cultivate the future more than rescue the past#i like this idea w zelda too. like not only will the future generation have great fighters but excellent scholars and leaders.#wow i am RAMBLING#anyhow. i like big bro wild.#linked universe#lu#jojo’s linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu wild#wild lu#wild linked universe#linked universe wild

I dare not speak it in the tag because I value my energy but no one has the correct opinions about nosferatu 2024 except for me
#Everyone has opinions about which parts of nosferatu are the problematic parts and everyone is wrong#Like!!!! I would love to talk about the potential implications of a story#Of a vulnerable young woman taken advantage of by an older more powerful man in her youth#And the lasting impact it has on her life and her relationships especially in the constraints of an 1800’s upper-class society#And how she believes herself “unclean” for her new husband because of it#And how said husband very firmly says “no you are not unclean or lesser for what was done to you and I love you no matter what”#And how ALL THOSE IMPLICATIONS feel tragically undermined#by the end of the story essentially saying that she HAS to have sex with the older man (and then die) to resolve the problems#And that’s just. Never challenged really.#There’s no twist to it not even some attempt at an angle of empowerment or reclamation of her sexuality or something#yknow that trope of how if we the audience are told the protagonist squads plan that plan is bound to go wrong#We are told the plan and it just happens#No the mustache guy having a breakdown and going to his wife’s crypt does not count as the plan going wrong#Because we got told the REAL plan that the van helsing stand in and Ellen had behind Thomas’ back#And THAT goes off without a hitch!#The ending just. Happens! And it’s bad that it just happens I think!#But then I go in the tag and there’s people like “it’s bad cuz they showed tiddy”#Like guys pls it’s more complicated than that#I was just reminded of the line “I do not need redemption” from Ellen and like YES THATS SO RIGHT#but then the story says “the only way to stop the count is for you to die”#And like there’s also something there about how how much she hates when Thomas gets her flowers at the beginning because they’re dead#And then at the end the professor scatters cut flowers around her body when she can’t tell him no#and like! That’s something! I can almost FEEL this movie trying to make its point but it just falls short#You cannot have it both ways you cannot be condemning this unfair treatment of Ellen but also leaving it completely unexamined#“goddamn you see that shit? That was fucking crazy. Anyway I’m Robert Eggers”

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol
i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki
#snap chats#haha see i told you last post's tags were relevant#anyway vLKVJEVLKAEJVLKJ IM CRYING ANON youre so funny. this is the funniest ask i coulda got thank you so much#i dont know why i like him either <- yes i do#fine lets get Real Talk about it#well first off all i thought he looked hot rolling out the elevator and i was playing the eng dub and i think his voice sounds hot there#and thats like. not athing that happens to me ever <- literally thought sawashiro was hot two frames into the game but anyway#i like politician characters. or characters that are in a position of power ESPECIALLY if they have to act like they dont suck balls#like i very much love the idea of the power of charisma and that type of thing not to mention the 'strategizing' as aoki puts it#that comes with politics. LIKE HE SUCKS DONT GET IT TWISTED HE SUCKS BUT //shrug emoji//#like its why i love the mine rggo stories i like seeing mine's thought process and how he uses his intelligence#smart's sexy to me idk what to tell you but moving on#its fun watching him lose his cool too ESP IN HIS FIGHT LMAO HE STOMPIN HIS FOOT LIKE A TODDLER SHUT UP#i also really love the arakawa family in general and thinking of aoki's relationship with each of them makes my brain explode#especially him and sawashiro that shit is painful to watch and i love it so much#i also thought him going from goth to republican was the funniest shit in the world like i howled at that AND i was distraught#aokis so interesting to me from the notion that he IS loved by his family but he has so much hatred for himself it eats him up#and as a result he cant be happy no matter what he does- how hes constantly seeking validation even if it's nothing meaningful#his lil. Dog-Eat-Dog world world belief to ichi also appealed to my edgy depressed high schooler brain. sorry.#his speech at the lockers also got to me. unfortunately. sorry everyone i empathized too hard it got too real it wasnt funny anymore#like as much as i complain bout the very end the ending is what solidified me liking aoki if not also cause of ichi's impact in those scene#plus... analyzing him and the environment around him is so much fun too....#idk reasons for why i like aoki also boil down to personal reasons. he still sucks tho so i cant be upset when people hate him LOL#i probably have more reasons or could elaborate more i love rambling but i mean. who really wants to read all that 💀💀#maybe for a character that WASNT the worst but. aoki is so LMAO#thank you for loving my art regardless :) im sorry i have to be attached to the worst guys ever

are there ppl who dont like the opening to tp..... okay ummmm anyways
#i love that the opening is slow i think its a rly great way to show links like. hes just some guy fr like yes hes like the chosen hero or#wever but he is like. some guy and i think its rly effective to get to wander around his little village and see how close he is with#everybody in the village and esp the kids#its more impactful that way when hes like. Pulled into his quest and all of this . like tp spoilers i guess LOL but the kids getting taken#wouldnt be as impactful if link like. didnt interact at all#like if you wake up go outside and then boom the kids r gone thats lame#i think its a fun way to have it be like. hes going on this quest To save the kids number one and it just kinda escalates from there and he#ends up doing all that but likeee. my fav thing abt tp link is how homey he is and how like. His quest rly starts BC the kids are taken and#bc he needs 2 save those kids. at least thats how i see him#so i absolutelyyyy imagine him being rly homesick for the entire thing + i think that makes it fun w him travelling w midna bc i imagine#them both as being very homesick. but both of their homes arent Right atm like yk i think its a fun parallel#and i think its served rly well by the opening. and also i just LOVE ordon village even if i step outside of my kindergarten level media#interpretation like i love that village its so cute to me the music i so calming to me i loooooooooove ordon village ok. even if it did#serve no narrative purpose to have link farting around his hometown for a while at the beginning i would still want it there bc IIIII love#ordon village. ^_^

i'm hurt 🥲
#it's been 8 years and i still dream of my best friend who i was in love with in high school#last night was way too much though#like i met him again and replayed all the memories we had.. like dancing around in the rain#and since it was raining i told him to dance with me again even though it felt different#i knew he didn't feel shit for me bc he rejected me back in hs too but when i started talking about another guy he did NOT like it#and he admitted it... questioned me about him and then we kissed ???#he told me to call him every now n then bc up until now it was always just him calling. like the jealousy was SO OBVIOUS#we kind of get together.. literally my 18 y/o's dream coming true like y'all i was SO IN LOVE WITH HIM LMAO#and then i ask him 'be honest did you feel something for me back in hs' and he just won't answer 🥲 keeps dodging the question...#suggests smth that sounds like a yes but then i woke up 😐#i just wanted to let this out... idk it's crazy to me that even after all those years i still think of him#like if he approached me today and asked me out i just KNOW i'd give in. even though it's been almost a decade. i would definitely give in#first loves.. especially unrequited ones... leave an impact fr#my dream sounded like a fic i'd like to come true but well that's not how life works#anyways i'm just sentimental lol tdl ??#personal

my dream portrayal of jgy is that he's an independant character with his own strengths (not lxc's sweet little child-birthing wifey) that get recognition and appreciation (and that aren't 'being a good mommy/rabid event planner, haha, such a control freak this a-yao'), who deserves and gets love (but isn't just a tiny lovely thing whose only purpose is-- do you get my point already i wonder), who's allowed to be in a bad mood (but isn't defined by those moments, which is very important to me personally), but who isn't a cruel or bad person (and whose attempts at explaining his situation to others are taken seriously, and not as just him trying to Manipulate Others As Usual because, and i might be controversial but idqc, if i'm to call a character a gaslighting manipulator i'd like to see cases of him a/ doing it b/ succesfully c/ often, and no, "well he conned lxc into thinking he's not an evil murderous twink, SOMEHOW" doesn't count)
and my problem is that it's, well, as dreams usually are, rather unattainable
#what i mean by 'allowed to be in a bad mood but not defined by them' is that like. i talked about it before but the way the entirety of the#fandom and their moms are convinced modern jgy is sooo cranky when he wakes up and he loooves to bitch and complain and his ^_^ is ALWAYS#AND ONLY a mask hiding murderous rage towards stupid customers. and as an irl misinterpreted character i find this kinda#hurtful because you're not really 'allowed' to do something if this something will get you teased/immediately associated with Being A Perso#Who Does Thing. like the fandom is very bad at recognizing when a character is acting influenced by intense emotions#but like if cql!lxc slaps jgy that doesn't make him a violent person who solves all problems with his fists and is Sooo Scary Haha to be#around haha Don't Piss Him Off. but this happens to jgy a lot in fanfiction and i'm kinda tired of it#give me one (1) fic where jgy can complain about his stupid ass father and his stupid ass job and gets comfort and support#i also don't get people being so into wwx+jgy friendship. like. jgy would be like 'hey please think abt how your behaviour impacts#not only your reputation but also those of your friends and associates' and wwx would be like lmao chill out idc!#and wwx would be like 'wow your life situation sucks you should just tell everyone to kiss your ass and get the fuck out' to which#jgy would be like There Are No Words To Convey How Much I Can't Just Do That and that would be it. idk#anyway. lotsa words when im just being a hater#shrimp thoughts

does Trace still make and lose bets in the dreamscape or does veruska console command his luck with them to get better
hrmmmm honestly probably he is a TIIIIINY bit less impulsive. but just because his whole sense of self has been kinda shaken up, he's generally much less talkative overall and so absorbed in his work he doesn't deem bets really worth his time anymore. if he had to he probably Would take a bet but it's just so far off his radar when he's holed up in his tiny mobile home all the time the opportunity doesn't really present itself
ALTHOUGH. i would think the dream counterparts of his coworkers might help him with equations/hypotheticals taken wildly out of contexts. he's stubborn and obstinate enough to brute force learning all the stuff he learned on sudra himself but if he hits a wall and can't move anywhere in his research he'll call one of them up.
and then the usual positing of "whoever figures this out first owes the other dinner." "Bet." happens
but again. very rare. and he doesn't trust anyone else with the specific details of his research, its all kept VERY VERY VAGUE when certain problems crop up to begin with.
#this may not make sense im starving and waiting for my foode to get here#rambles#ask#anonymous#trace av#him and hammond work a Little more together than he does with others but he's just so untrusting now even she's kept out of the loop#and she knows it. and she's Pissed about it. so she snoops#not that it matters or has any impact#she's just a dream version. so it won't really matter in the end#but the dreamscape has to be realistic so he doesn't understand#im still unraveling how athetos showed up in the dreamscape though. havent parsed my thoughts to any physics theories to it yet. but#if im being honest. those theories may not cut it this time around. ill think more about the ambiguous patternmind phenomena#because the answer prolly lies there. there's also that continuity note in av 1 that made me ponder. perhaps that pertains to patternminds?#i don't remember the specifics of the note at all#i gotta reread them. BUT i know it included the word 'euclid' in the first sentence#and i went haha like an scp

#that post thats like i could fix him but as in i could write him better than the og plot#is ME with the totk plot#look....i love the game...truly and really.....but i would do the plot so differently#especially ecerything to do with ganondorf#and everything with the whole Zelda is going to be forever changed and loae herself when she becomes a dragon!its irreversible!!!!!!!#and then its magically reversible bc.....Reasons#look as painful as it would have been i think zelda shoud have stayed a dragon#i also think ganondorf should have stayed a dragon#saw a post that was like ganondorf upon becomeing a dragon shpukd have actually lost himself and just fuckin floated off#just be forever flying around hyrule like the other dragons bc hes no longer Ganondorf hes just a dragon now#the finality if the memory of zelda deciding to become a dragon and the emotional impact was just....ruined#also the dragons are immortal so why was dragondorf killable?#also everything with the fifth aage felt so rushed and crammed in#u get no time to spend really getting to know mineru its just here she is ok go fight ganondorf#like ok!!!!! i guess!!!!!!!#and sonia..... ganondorf sonia mineru all holding hands and in the middle it says deserved better#frankly i think rauru should have been evil or at best morally grey#also while i like the mystery that is connjured about the three dragons when u find out how dragons originate i really wish they had touched#upon who tf those three dragons were#like farosh gets the most attention in this game and its like...but why#also the lack of recognition of botw#llike okk ik the champions technically died 100 years ago so ur average hylian in totk has no idea#come on man...revalis only mention is an easily missable place name .........

K.enzo T.enma my absolute beloved-
I promise this will be the one and only time I talk about N.aoki U.rusawa's M.onster!! I just need to talk about T.enma real quick because I have brainrot! Man, he really is just such a kind man and the way his kindness leaves an impact to those around him is just so good-
#Pan rambles#I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD CLARIFY I DON'T SHIP WITH HIM OR ANYTHING#He's just a character that's very special to me#Kinda like how S.ora from K.ingdom H.earts is very dear and important to me#T.enma is like that character I saw when I was younger and always inspired me-#(although I will say that I probably shouldn't have watched the anime when I did. I was pretty young and some things went over my head-)#I didn't want to be in his shoes because I definitely don't wanna deal with all the stuff he goes through in the series-#But I did want to be kind like he was and leave a positive impact to those around me-#A close friend of mine whom I introduced to Monster mentioned that she can see the influence and I was all gksnfkdnfkdkf#but yeah#ahem#My apologies! back to my regular self ship content now!

I want to discuss class as a theme in Nimona!
#but I don’t have a strong analysis to make!#crap!#naw see I know queerness transness religious and governmental propaganda/authoritarianism are all themes#but I want to discuss how class impacts the story#how Bal is sabataged because he’s not a Legacy#how he’s set up to fail despite doing everything right just because of the prejudices of those around him#how it’s seen not only as expected that he fail but necessary to the stability of the kingdom that he never climb the ranks#what does that say? commentary on the myth of the American dream? on class inequality and rigged systems?#probably! probably but I could use some additions#Nimona#Nimona movie#Nimona 2023#nimona spoilers#my post

[ID:
You do [caps] not [end caps] need to kill off a character for 'emotional impact', or 'realism'. Especially if you've given readers / watchers time to bond with said character. Come on.

im starting to think you guys dont like it when stories make you feel things
#thinking about what example to use for this. stance i remembered the duel by alexander kuprin#to be short it is about a young officer romashov trying to get through the army while managing his personal life#like semi-romancing with a wife of another guy or breaking up a fight caused by another officer drinking#and swinging his sword around to the point it could harm women inside#either way. the husband of the woman romashov was romancing with ends up calling him to a duel#he wants to back out from it and is even adviced by probably the most wise/sane/philosophical character in the novel#but shurochka (the wife) takes the upper hand and convinces romashov to go to the duel because if he doesn't#then her husband - nikolaev - won't move up the ranks#as you can guess romashov goes to the duel and dies#the whole point of the novel is to showcase the effect russian army had on those in it. how it rotted them inside out#it is very important to note that the characters who are the most nice (besides the commander of 15th division I REMBER)#are those who are removed from serving most of their time. and the guy who tries to talk romashov out of duelling is an#alcoholic so. that already says a lot. they have been broken before is what i'm trying to say#and that influence is seen in romashov too. kuprin writes that he has books in dust that he meant to get to but in the end#it just never happens#the conflict is in romashov trying to keep his humanity and intelligence AND stay up in the army to impress shurochka#who is very manipulative because her life depends on her husband being in high ranks. she values army more than romashov tbh#it is also very important to note that you can see the destructive effect of the army on people in the soldiers too#one of them - khlebnikov iirc - literally tries to kill himself but gets talked oit of it by romashov#the point of romashov dying is to point just how far shurochka - and the army life - have gotten into him#they literally ended his life. he knew the duel would be dangerous but because of love for shurochka#and because of shurochka's love for keeping a high status he still went there; shot in the air and then took the bullet#if he didn't die it would not hit as hard. it would make the story a lot less impactful because we SAW how shurochka#manipulates romashov. how she keeps him around her finger. he was too deep to get out by this point#his death was necessary. he died from the old time's unspoken law#anyways if you want to i recommend reading the duel. and the garnet bracelet. WITH music that shit made me cry rivers#alexander kuprin#mention of death#sui mention#forgotten videotapes_uwu

my toxic trait is being insufferable about the people who misinterpret a chistmas carol
#im sorry i have MANY opinions on this beloved novella and i WILL be insufferably elitist about how many people willfully misinterpret it#it's NOT about loving christmas. it's not! christmas is an easy shorthand of the day for generosity and charity to the poor.#scrooge did not maintain his 'evil' ways until the ghost of christmas yet to come. that future would have not impacted him#had he not seen his past and the christmas present. pretending that those sections had no effect on him#tells me you either skimmed them or didnt understand the fucking story.#actually my most toxic trait is i hate it when people make unilateral statements about classic books that are obvs bad interpretations lol#not that everyone has to agree with my interpretation of a book but man. some of yall really failed critical reading 101 huh.#anyway. there was a post going around a while back asking about what people get snobby about#and you know? i didn't think of anything at the time but now i'm like. yeah i probably DO get snobby about classic books lol
