Hate it when j&h adaptations give Jekyll a female love interest, like bitch, he HAS a love interest who is introduced on the first page, and his name is MR UTTERSON THE LAWYER.
#well technically it's “gabriel john utterson' but those are the first 4 words of the book#my random stuff#dr jekyll and mr hyde#jekyll and hyde#and on a more serious note-#it tells me that the adaptation understood nothing about the novella#because the queer subtext* is almost domtext#*and yes i say subtext as opposed to coding because#Stevenson's purpose was to oppose the repressive victorian social structures#and the unspoken social codes and unnecessary laws surrounding what people could and couldn't do#and; yeah sure there were plenty of those for straight relationships#but doubly so for queer ones#queerness is SO important to this novella even though it's never overtly mentioned#edit: just saw a post that reminded me of this one and I'd like to add:#adaptations that give jekyll a female LI seem to make her ONLY a love interest without any development#and usually they only exist to get raped or killed by Hyde#it's. not great.

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes
#they should live under each other’s skin in a way that’s weird to everyone else. actually.#also on a more serious note since this is getting notes mental illness does not preclude people from deserving love#or the ability to give and receive it#it also does not make you inherently toxic#sometimes people are just toxic anyways of course#and a lot of people enjoy a toxic ship and are relating that to this and that’s cool!#but like#if you believe that’s the only option you’re wrong buddy#people can be worse together but they can also be better#acting like a character or a person has to ‘fix’ their trauma or what have you to be worthy is. a fucking weird mindset.#but anyways!

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now#there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??'#and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies#aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you#so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager#the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

veilguard is maddeningly racist and we have got to have this conversation outside of "fantasy racism" terms. we are not talking about fantasy elves. it is anti-indigenous racism, the elves are intentionally indigenous coded as previously stated by Gaider (and it honestly doesn't matter if it's been "confirmed," it is obviously true, no matter what Weekes tries to argue now) and insinuating that your indigenous coded characters 1. are deserving of their oppression, 2. are in any way responsible for it, 3. should feel guilty about it, 4. are foolish and dangerous for wanting to reconnect with and preserve their history, and 5. are "stuck in the past" and "too traditional," (why don't they just assimilate already?) are all insidious, racist ideas that this game perpetuates. and there is very little pushback from the narrative that the player can engage in, which is what a lot of the criticism is discussing. we're not talking about "fantasy racism" or fantasy slurs, we are talking about the real world racism this game is perpetuating.
#my other posts were a mistake i truly regret not being more specific bc ppl in the notes are being intentionally dense#like. it's racist to depict any oppressed group this way lol no matter how many layers of fantasy you try to hide it under#like can we be serious please#and none of this is saying you cant enjoy the game but you also. cant just dismiss the criticisms because its ‘fantasy racism’#it is not fantasy racism#datv critical#da posting

thinking about how sanji is simultaneously one of the coolest and lamest characters in all of one piece. a suave badass with a heart of gold AND a pathetic, wet paper bag of a human being. every time he's on screen i'm swooning over him while also fighting through twenty layers of cringe. truly a man of multitudes.
#being a sanji fan is so hard#lol but on a more serious note i actually like that sometimes sanji can be....like that. it's endearing#one piece#black leg sanji#sanji

hey, just as a btw, a fic or a series not uploading for a year doesn't mean its abandoned.
Sometimes the authors have shit going on, other wips, or! it just needs to sit and marinate for a bit. Collecting all the flavor and details it wouldn't have otherwise.
it's okay for updates to take a while.
And if you're impatient? Why not leave a nice comment telling us (the author(s)) what you love about the fic or series? say that you love it, and are "waiting eagerly for the next chapter" and/or that you "would love to see x or y happen because it would mean-"
This could be a new fandom vibe because of all the "i have to drop this while people are still interested" energy, but its not universal, and i don't believe its good for the fandom ecosystem.
Have patience, and have compassion. Remember that authors are human and these fics? (or comics, animatics, whatever) This is our art. We care about it just as much, if not more than you.
#fandom#this is because a bit ago a coauthor and friend of mine got an ask about our series and i had to take a step back#it had only been a few months! in which i had a depressive episode and more life complications#it felt bad y'all. hearing that i wasn't doing enough.#the tone was overall positive#but come on#asking for the notes about the series after only six months of us not uploading? actually it mightve been shorter#i think my coauthor uploaded more recently than i did#good things come to those who wait applies to you too.#sorry for getting all serious but this was seriously bothering me#and i finally have the words!

I see so many Locked Tomb posts about people saying they just realized Jod was lying in this or that scene, and this is where I realized that I interact with these books fundamentally differently from the rest of y’all. The moment I found out Jod set G1deon on Harrow everything he had ever and would ever say was considered null and void. To me he is a pathological liar and nothing he says is ever to be trusted. I’m obsessed with him.
#Tlt#john gaius#harrow the ninth#htn#htn spoilers#On a more serious note i firmly believe everything he says in nona is true to him but has to be filtered through the lies he tells himself#Eg that he is not a terrible person#And so still falls under the untrustworthy liar umbrella#The locked tomb

Like I said in one of my previous posts i think abt this scene far too much. Wanted to interpret it outside of just the sprites
I especially wanted to point out Godpoke's part in it, because sure, Capo was the one who went too far, but they/you were the one to deliver the message to Razzma and she even kinda calls them/you out on it. Also from a standpoint of Godpoke as a character it could be a learning moment for them, the first time they accidentally genuiely hurt someone via their use of Megapon. Could make them think twice next time and such.
Also I'm still surprised at how Capo yelled this line out almost right away, no hesitation. I wonder how aware he was of this being self projection at that time. Shit's fucked up.
#Also the panelling on the 2nd page has further context#because in game capo switches from a more 'serious' face when he thinks about what he said to a more goofy one when he asks you-#-if he went too far#and i think while it can be genuine i also like the idea of this being like. him having a genuine moment where he thinks over what he said#but then he remembers you're standing there so he puts up the more goofy act#because as one of the notes from the artbook say he was told to 'play dumb'. so play dumb he will#that's more of a bonus trivia though and i think you can interpret this both ways. if you rrly wanna get into overanalyzing the sprites lma#fanart#great god grove#ggg#capochin ggg#razzmatazz ggg#razzma ggg#godpoke ggg

This is for Zero but I imagine this idea extending to the MPN player as well. The loops happen and everyone's memories are effectively wiped, til one day something broke somewhere.
Doc remembers every loop, and something breaks in him too. He will fix this. He will save you.
#madness combat#_myart#2bdamned#madness combat oc#i always think about how i think swain(?) said that doc would enmesh the mandatus if he could#doc is serious and always focused on the mission to me but I think there's something unique and tragic in him utterly crumbling#to the emotions of this whole ordeal when they hit him all at once#fugg i want to text post more. being perceived is scary#brainworms so bad i'm formally writing a google doc instead of just notes on my phone

One of my favorite jokes is L muttering random percentages unprompted whenever Light does anything to indicate that it's affected his likelihood of being Kira. The more absurd, the better.
Light ate breakfast and had a glass of orange juice? 6 percent. He wore his black loafers today instead of his brown ones? 13 percent. He took a shower with cold water at night? 27 percent. Didn't say bless you when someone sneezed? He's slipping - 78 percent. Fully confessed to being Kira? He's being too obvious, 7 percent.
#death note#l lawliet#light yagami#I was looking at my prev art of them and I just thought about it#it's just silly sometimes I think L isn't even serious about the percentages and is more certain than he claims to be#maybe he's giving smaller percentages so the task force don't immediately berate him for 'jumping to conclusions'#keeping light open as a suspect in everyone's minds by telling them to simply consider the possibilities however small#but regardless it always gets a giggle out of me when it's blown out of proportion
