if the world as a whole is going to insist that everybody Has To Have A Job, then the barrier for entry to A Job should be fucking nothing. you should show up at the job center and they go "oh, you need a job and you don't care what it's in? OK, here you go. you start on wednesday."

i don't want a career. i don't even want to work. i shouldn't have to throw my entire fucking life away just to eat and have a roof to sleep under. working most of the time i'm awake for 5 days only to have 48 hours to myself is not fucking ok and i don't think anyone should do it, let alone be forced to!

but no only is the barrier to employment INSANELY HIGH, we keep making it fucking higher!!!! what the fuck do you mean i have to have every single qualification and experience listed, AND i have to write a completely original and compelling persuasive essay for EVERY job, now i need to make a new fucking resume EVERY TIME, AND network, both over job-related social media AND in real life??????? AND i have to be not only proficient, but an expert in this weird jargony super secret Konami business job code language that no one ever taught me or explained and that just kind of popped up out of nowhere?????????????????? AND i have to have a "personal brand"???????? as an employee of no one?????????????????????????????????????????????????

WHAT THE FUCK

what if i don't have the spoons or energy or whatever the fuck you have to have in order to pursue a more than full time job......in finding a fucking job?!?!?!

Mark and Gemma as Orpheus and Eurydice: boring, obvious, unoriginal

Helly/Helena as Persephone/Kore, queen of the underworld but only as a prized prisoner: new, bold, fascinating

yeah i'm gonna be so real, this past week has been tough for drawing, and i've become more and more inactive on socials due to (gestures loosely at everything).

you know for someone who loves metamy so much. i gotta say having it be fully unrequited is honestly fitting with metal's whole arc (or rather his LACK of arc)

he wants what he can't have. he's not anything or anyone, he doesn't deserve it. what would he even do with it?

"i don't think i have anything. i don't think i can have anything. i don't know how to have something." (src: 17776)

whether or not you subscribe to the roboticized metal theory, it doesn't change that metal's goals are not aligned with reality. ironically it's the robot that is unable to logically analyze his situation. he wants to be sonic but it doesn't change the fact that he isn't. he wants to win but it doesn't change the fact that he won't. his desires are narratively and morally unfulfillable because what he wants is wrong (factually and ethically.)

and so if he, in theory, wanted amy rose how could he ever actually have her?

the most she would give him is "you're more like him than i thought."

because he's Not sonic. all he can be is sufficiently Like him (sometimes). whatever metal claims he is (and honestly whatever he ACTUALLY is) is irrelevant because he can't MAKE himself sonic. he can't make himself the version of sonic that amy loves. amy loves sonic for WHAT he is (good) not what he's named. the most she could ever do is passively appreciate the traits of sonic that metal is able to imitate. emulate. simulate. fabricate.

sonic's role (in the meta story and in-universe) is so unique and treasured and irreplaceable. the only way to kick him out would be to, idk, replace him with an identical copy and put the old sonic in a lose-lose situation where he could not possibly be believed or sympathized with. or something.

say he gets "rehabilitated," rebels against eggman... you know those metamy fics. what is he then?

-> another job well done. another good deed for team sonic (y'know, the real one).

because it's not just that he's Not Sonic. (and he isn't. even if you believe he once was, he's not anymore in any way that is relevant to the narrative. the narrative, as you know, is the real sonic's pov.) it's that he's not even really a person anymore.

he's been forcibly depersonalized, dethroned, removed from his role (+ promptly replaced with something canonically better!) and isolated from any semblance of humanization. he doesn't even have a mouth. either it was taken from him or he was never given one. and we are not given any glimpse into his thoughts. (they're not important.)

like. this is a dead end. he is a dead end. there's nowhere to run.

he won't "get the girl" (pardon the term) not because he's evil not because he's not sonic but because he is not a "person" in any sense. not literally not socially not narratively not practically not really

idk. whether metal falls in love with amy genuinely, or if it's just out of jealousy/desire to want what the real sonic has/instinct to emulate the real sonic's emotions... it's doomed. he's just a ghost from a doomed timeline and everything he will ever do is destined to fail. he can't kill sonic. he can't hold amy's hand. he can't do anything but lose.

in that sense, metal "losing" amy to the real sonic (as if metal was ever even a contender, as if he was ever real enough) is just another failure in a long, long string of mostly unpleasant memories of a character who doesn't even get to go by his real name. because someone more important took it already has it.

Some "minor" things from the Carlos Luna summary that have popped up in Junior Year:

the original Shrimp Party

Fig never going to class

Porter telling Fig she's good at rage

I assume these things got mentions in the summary specifically because they reappeared in Junior Year, so I combed through the video again looking for more "unnecessary" details...

General weirdly specific stuff:

we see Madam Silvaine's character card, even though she's a very minor NPC

the gang maybe went a bit too far while interrogating Biz

Gorgug was fed a flower by Telemaine

Ragh was hooking up with Fathethriel

Fathethriel helped Aelwyn trick the Bad Kids

Arianwen:

Arianwen taught at Hudol

frequent focus on Arianwen and her character art

Gilear:

Gilear couldn't become the guidance counsellor because Jawbone got that job

Gilear was living in Hallariel's garage

Gilear briefly died

Fabian was having visions of turning Gilear-esque in the future

we haven't seen Gilear in a while huh? everyone forgot him

Gilear was in the wheel well

"Fig's dads have the worst luck" (direct quote)

Gilear finds the sin armors, refuses to put on the kink armor

Gilear dies twice in Hell

Gilear has to stay out of the Forest of the Nightmare King because they can't keep spending their diamonds revivifying him

after saving the day, Gilear got a little proud in the pride armor and died

Those sure are a lot of minor details about a character who hasn't been in Junior Year since his brief appearance in episode 3, huh?

everyone shush im thinking. what if a life series au where dogwarts and martren happened in the same place. the king who wont let go of his loyal hand even after death so he fuses himself with the corpse on the black altar. dog and master, king and soldier, two friends bound together by a red thread of fate so strong it can sew their bloodied bodies together. people love to frame the beheading as a wedding but what could be more like a marriage than the merging of two souls into one unholy monster driven equally by love and fury. in some fairytales the kiss of true love brings the princess back from a curse, but this isn't that sort of story. ren had to get his hands bloody to bring his true love back.

I love it when Vergil said "I am the storm" and approached all over the place.

andromeda and sirius can relate to one another because they both left their families in pursuit of a less sheltered, more open-minded life. narcissa and regulus can relate to each other for being the ones “left behind,” obligated to follow family traditions even though they may not agree with them. bellatrix, however, is alone in her struggles. the eldest daughter that should have been a son. the obsessive, frightening girl who gained the attention of tom riddle himself, and soon surrounded herself with people who both loved and feared her. the mad woman.

I was in tech class when I pitched a comic idea to my friends and now we're here. I can't remember if anything was mentioned between Michikatsu and other sun breathers in canon (ik Kokushibo ran a killing spree on them but not anything before that), but something tells me he would not have been pleased to know someone else learned it before he could.

The guy lived, don't worry 👍. At the request of the insta followers, he has a name: Takashi Kuwabara (久和原 宇志). The guy talking to Michi also has a name. Tadaki Noumi (能美 忠喜) is from my Sengoku Era Hashira cast. Anyways Kuwabara is probably going to retire very soon 💀

Also I promise I don't think Michi is an unreasonable rage freak , I just have more fun drawing aggression. If anything, compared to other sketches I've done and have planned, this is one of those rare annual outbursts. Considering how Michi and Kokushibo talk about strength and posturing like a swordsman, I feel like he'd be curt but professional a lot of the time anyway. Maybe next on my list should be drawing him chilling tf out o(￣▽￣)ｄ

Not enough people are weird about surgical tools IMO

You mean you don't feel a lil into these things that are purpose built to go down your throat?
