For years, Louis' brand has been the under-confident artist who didn't know if he had the chops or support to go solo. That brand has been reported to death in mainstream news coverage and spinoff sound bytes, covered in every interview he's done since 2017, and reiterated in Louis' own tweets and output. It's been systematically documented in the record of life and the world.
But the takeaway from AOTV is that despite all his insecurities and the uncertainty about his future, Louis and his team now know it's all bullshit and there is absolutely a place for him in the industry.
So..........and I'm probably going to get a ration of shit for this..........can Louis and team please take this opportunity to put the underdog narrative behind us and move forward with a confident Louis who knows he's earned his place at the table?
#it's been the same narrative since the day 1D died#and honestly we didn't learn that much new from AOTV so i'm hoping this is the plan#acknowledge the underdog#show that he now believes he's right where he should be#put it out to the whole world in huge blinking letters#and move forward

Thinking about bg3. And the prevalent themes of being taken advantage of by trusted authority figures and stuff. BG3 spoilers ahead.
Nearly every companion in this game is suffering from being taken advantage of, often by someone they trusted. Some, like Karlach with Gortash, Astarion with Cazador, and Wyll with Mizora, feel it keenly, so so keenly. They can't escape from that betrayal and the consequences of said betrayal are ever present and devastating.
Others, like Shadowheart and Lae'zel, have yet to realize the dangerous way they have/are being manipulated, and when we meet them are utterly devoted to Shar and Vlaakith respectively. The nature of these relationships changes depending on the direction of your game.
Then... there's Gale.
Seemingly the odd one out. The Wizard Prodigy with the tragic flaw of hubris, carrying in him a physical, permanent consequence and reminder of his failure. Because what he did was wrong. Right? He tried to please Mystra, his goddess and his lover, by committing something unthinkable, and in his mind he is being rightfully punished for it.
Except. Why was Mystra, the goddess of magic itself, in such a relationship with a mortal in the first place?
Gale's relationship to this concept of being taken advantage of is so interesting to me, because for the most part it is much more subtle compared to some of the other companions, and much of it is left up to to player interpretation. Because, yeah, ultimately it was his mistake, but when you hear him speak it almost sounds like he was *primed* to make such a mistake, to think he could handle something like the Karsite Weave. (He gives me big big "gifted child left with no true support system bc they're seen as being able to handle themselves at too early an age" energy)
He shares in common with Karlach that unlike the other companions, who *are* being taken advantage of, Gale and Karalch *were* taken advantage of. Past tense, over and done. And in both cases, the one with the power in the relationship (Mystra and Gortash) go on their merry way, basically unaffected, while the one without power (Gale and Karlach) are left holding the bag.
Mystra also differs in how she's presented by the game, bc unlike the others mentioned she's presented as neutral to a fault. But she wields her forgiveness like a weapon, and she manipulates Gale to make him fee like *she's* the one who truly suffered for his prideful crime, he *deserves* all the pain that's come from it, and that he *owes* it to her to just die. For her. And for the most part, she isn't *wrong* per say, she just pushes it very far. Farther then someone who had Gale's best interests at heart would.
And I just. I find it interesting.
#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#this got ramble-y#hopefully there's still something semi-coherent here and I'm not completely misunderstanding Gale or Mystra's character#but it's has been rotating in my head like a microwave#i don't want to constantly compare this game to DA#but Gale speaking about Mystra does remind me a lot of Alistair talking about Eamon#in that they both don't really hear how bad what their saying sounds#but thankfully Gale can actually realize and come to terms with how he's being treated#and move forward#and I just think that's neat

I want september to be good to me. I want october to be gentle, november to be simple and december to be loving
#I just want a good last quarter of the year#im so full of anxiety im afraid the sadness will creep in again#I fell like my life is about to change drastically and i don't look forward to it#im not good with change i like things staying the way they are#even if it's currently not the best#i think im afraid of being confronted with what might be revealed by that change#but there cones a tine where you just have to look the past into the eyes#and move forward#i don't want to be stuck either#personal

The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.
#taylor swift#ttpd#the tortured poets department#very interesting to consider her whole good girl mindset she discusses in MA#like I get the critique that it needs some editing because 31 songs is a lot! however that would be undermining the point of it all#like the only way to move forward is to get it all out and free yourself from it

Please share propaganda in the notes!
EDIT since this has breached containment! Some info on the poll as whole!
1- I'm sorry to put two bad bitches against each other. The bracket setup was randomly selected, not seeded to have equal match-ups. BUT there will be a revival round! 2- Image descriptions are in the ALT text. 3- As always, there is a real human person running these, so keep negative propaganda to a minimum in the notes. Talk up your faves as much as you want, but don't shit-talk the other option.
Thanks!
#I'm very sorry to put two bad bitches against each other#If they tie they can both move forward tho#Tie here will be within 5% of each other#tournament poll#tumblr bracket#computers

the girl from the other side ✨ this series gave me hope a million times but simultaneously shattered my heart into the same amount of pieces </3 (flower symbolism under cut)
sticker sheet for anime north 🍀🥧🖤🤍
SPOILERS AHEAD
forget me not - obvious reference to the Black Children and how they eventually forget who they are as they near the end of their "life cycle".
white clover (in coffin) - white clovers typically symbolize innocence.
4 leaf clover - like I wrote in a previous post on my Witch Hat Atelier seasons piece, the 4 leaf clover symbolizes luck and good fortune. Like Coco, Shiva to her loved ones is a symbol of fortune, though to the Inside Kingdom, a symbol of misfortune.
sunflower - typically symbolize strength and warmth, a fitting flower for Shiva, the light illuminating Teacher's dark past.
nasturtium - another flower symbolizing strength, and has strong ties to the "victory" after battle. apparently soldiers used to don them as a sign of a long battle won. fun fact they are also edible (don't take my post for nutritional advice please) (ill probably write a bit more on this topic when my head is more clear)
#the girl from the other side#totsukuni no shoujo#nagabe#my art#oh how i love dark fairy tales...........#had a lot of fun with the dark gothic/horror aesthetics.. i shrimply want to draw more self indulgent things moving forward#but now my arm needs rest augh#probably no one will buy this but it's ok ill keep all copies for myself!#EDIT: I WONT FORGIVE TUMBLR MOBILE FOR ASSUMING THE TITLE OF THIS POST WAS 'SPOILERS AHEAD' WTF..
