Don't be so sure of a Labour landslide. Voters panic at the last minute and go back to what they know (the Tories). Look what happened in 2017. I do think/hope that Labour will win but not by the vast majority the polls indicate.
In 2017 Labour outperformed all expectations! It was a moment of shock and beauty. The possibilities that it showed will always be important to me. I don't think the moral of that particular story is that people will change their minds at the last minute.
Labour are going to win a majority, probably a landside and I am going to continue to seeth with rage at how repugnant the leadership is. I was fucking disgusted by the latest clip of Keir Starmer talking to The Sun about how good he'd be at deporting people in general and people from Bangladesh in particular.
I'll say it again - you don't have to vote for genocide supporting, racist, transphobes, if you don't support genocide, racism and transphobia.
#Just so much rage#and also quite a lot of grief#but there's something more important than either#and that is maintaining hope#meaningful change is a result of political organising#not something people in power just give you#and concessions can be wrung out of even disgusting right wing racists

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

Ok this is gonna sound fun but, did Timmy ever get any advice from "fairy mason" who was his fairy lawyer in the norm the genie episode. It would be cool to see Timmy have a mentor
Timmy practically lived in Fairy Mason's office throughout his entire schooling at Pixies' Academy. He had lots of questions and discussions and thoughts!!!! And Fairy Mason answered every. single. one of them.
Fairy Mason wrote the letter of recommendation to the Fairy Council to let Timmy work so close with Jorgen on Da Rules' policy changes! Timmy was able to hit the ground running by the time he entered the workforce thanks to it. He also quickly made a name of himself as one of the best lawyers of the Pixie Court due to Mason's tutelage!
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop timmy turner#fop timmy#timmy turner#asks#itty bitties fop au#uay778#after timmy got his job he still maintained contact with fairy mason#but as time passed he relied on his advice less and less#because sooner or later you just gotta make your own choices and rely on your own intuitions!#and fairy mason is very proud of timmy!!!#usually when someone constantly asks for your advice. theres that fear that what theyre hoping for is to become you.#or as near identical as you so that theyd never have to make their own choices or their own thoughts#but timmy took his advice and made it into his own and became his own fairy. he simply needed mason's guidance to understand things!#fairy mason was on call though when they had to re-release norm#thankfully timmy didnt have to call him but he was on standby

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!
Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.
My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!
So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.
#like straight up. it's not worth it. idc how many people get mad at me#i would rather work fuckin. anything else than maintain this impossible schedule and keep hurting myself#if thats what it takes to do comics full time. then i can't do comics full time. simple as that!#i hope that for my next work i can have a healthier schedule and still make this work as my job#but if not. I'm never going back#i can't do it. 3 more years at this pace will take my ability to draw#anyways. its really good!!!#like genuinely i can feel a marked improvement in my skills#which is WILD!!! And I'm extremely happy about that!!!#just one more step into being better built to give people the quality stories they deserve.#ive not properly had the fire under my ass to finish stuff up but. its fine.#like i said? not worth it.#if i have to pause again then ill pause again. like i literally simply can not my body can't handle it#so. hopefully stuff goes smoothly but whatever happens will happen#whatever will be will be#i keep getting distracted lmfao#im excited about it coming back#and also. will. probably be distracting myself...#other creators dont read their comments. I'm like straight up not capable of that LMAOOO#i check for comments like all the time#love seeing em. love reading people's thoughts about my work#it makes me a better writer and keeps me connected to what matters most. which is my audience!#so i dont regret doing that but also. jts extremely distracting#i get straight up nothing done on big update days#cause im in the comments absolutely massive eyed refreshing.#this sounds obsessive. and it is. no jk#its just fun and keeps me in touch w peoples perception which helps me learn to write better#plus people are nice and ask me questions that i wanna answer#or if someone is being an ass. then i wanna tell them to leave (cause i cant block people) cause i consider it my responsibility#time and time again

(spoilers about DLC final boss)
i don't have enough energy to make a detailed case on this but
has any of Miquella's defenders found out about the proof in the base game that indicates Radahn was leading him on yet...
we found this at the Haligtree.
we know Radahn looks up to Godfrey and Radagon a lot and want to be like them, it makes sense he’d jump at a chance to be a Lord for a New God. i think he’s not above leading on a young Miquella instead of putting an end to a childish crush, even went so far as establishing a vow with him. But Radahn got cold feet later when Miquella was hell bent on going through with it as adult (stuck in a child body or not) & now he had to pay for his ambition.
i think that’s why they emphasize that Miquella made that wish in his youth. A traumatized & insecure child, losing faith in his parents’ Order & having to look his sister withered away, i think he would be very impressionable, especially around someone that strategically showcase his strength and honour like Radahn.
I think all this could have been avoided if Radahn, as the older brother, had just been firm & told him no.
#sote spoilers#er brainrot#this also explains the consort choice#no other available candidates at that era were going around flaunting their achievements and strength as much as that guy#pls tell me this argument has been made#regardless of how he turned out as adult i will maintain that he was an innocent child and as much a victim of this doomed narrative as#everyone else#just because i focus more on marika and messmer now i hope everyone knows that i bear no ill will to other characters#so my blog is not a place to vent about your dislike to them...

i just replayed Turnabout Succession and here are some moments between the Gavins that made me go crazyinsane
#kristoph's manipulative behavior towards klavier was so well written in the last case#like him taking any chance he could to belittle him and make him insecure with the hopes of maintaining his control over him#i will not keep ranting about them rn cause i will quite literally explode.. I'll leave it for another time#anyway. Gavins.#ace attorney#aa4#kristoph gavin#klavier gavin

He himself isn't made of mold, his whole world is just like it! A situation where the (semisentient) molds/lichens have taken over everything else spare some species of bird, but feels benefitted by living in solidarity with Itzhak's kind. It's not even complex thought for it, and doesn't quite make sense, but it is a world from a dream of mine 🫣 However, they do have to accommodate the mold. Structures are made of it / taken over by it, if they don't keep it happy it deteriorates. Itzhak is constantly in a struggle to deal with his own illness AND keep his home happy.. But in ways they mutually benefit each other, he's forced to get out of bed and take care of things if his roof starts sagging, the floor starts puckering or the walls start splitting. If he doesn't maintain his clothing (yes, made of molds) and it dies what will he do? It's a world of a lot of constant work, with not many people- but they do their best.
#mold#cw mold#just in case#dream realms are just silly basically#hyde replied#i hope youre well!!#Don't even think about what might happen if your dog made of molds and lichens isn't maintained 👁️👁️

Can I be so, so honest for a second? It's not even really the Crop Top Stretch™ (although Style's waist is undeniably lovely)...
...it's the head tilt, slow blink, glance up through the lashes Bambi eyes right at the end of the shot that really get to me.
I wish we could've seen Fadel faced with this Style. Absent the need to hide incriminating evidence and plied with a little alcohol, I wonder if Fadel would have maybe let Style convince him into at least getting frisky in a dark corner of the club. *u*
Alternative first meeting!au anyone?
#the heart killers#style#dunk natachai#fadelstyle#i think it would have been HILARIOUS if fadel and style had kind of gotten off with each other but in a way that they didn't really talk#(maybe its quick and dirty and one of them blows the other and then gets jerked off and then they part ways)#so fadel had no idea about style's personality until everything else plays out#and fadel goes through the 5 stages of grief when he realises he still wants to fuck style anyway xD#i hope we still get a scene later in the series where style does this deliberately in front of fadel#and at first fadel manages to maintain his cool and pretends to be unbothered#but when someone else starts showing an interest in style and fadel is suddenly Not Okay about it xD#<my posts>#fic inspo

Been trying to articulate why I am compelled to be weird about Maxwell Q Klinger and thus far I’ve failed to organise my thoughts coherently 😅 So here’s a line from The Wind They Call Korea that I think is very important in thinking about him
#mash#mash 4077#max klinger#monument to hope etc etc#something about the sight of him all dressed up full of colour and beauty against the backdrop of miserable war#it’s indescribablely moving to me#and even when he drops the dresses he maintains his kindness and ability to connect with others#even after he’s witnessed the worst aspects of humanity?#he’s the heart of the show to me

An uncertain homecoming...
<previous - next>
#Final Fantasy XIV#FFXIV#Erenville#X'vahl Tia#Erenvahl#WoL x Erenville#wolship#Dawntrail spoilers#went back and forth between wanting to include Erenville's inner monologue or not#decided against it because X'vahl can't hear it#so I have to rely really heavily on conveying emotions just via facial expressions#which I *hope* I managed to do here.#I've been.... feeling like I've been really annoying lately...#so I've been keeping a little more quiet and to myself#but I want to keep posting these#because at the end of the day I do it for me#because storytelling like this makes me happy and gives me a creative outlet#and honestly it's something I'm proud of myself for that I've managed to keep going this long while still maintaining excitement about.#I figure if anyone finds them annoying I use the Erenvahl tag pretty consistently (or I try to at least)#so they can either blacklist that or block me outright.

And you know what? I'm glad we can't be assholes in Veilguard. Like not only would it make less sense for the hand-selected savior of the world, who was exiled from their faction specifically for being the kind of person who selflessly risks their own safety and position in order to help others, to be an abrasive douchebag, but also the writers potentially thought "if this is our last Dragon Age hurrah then we sure don't need to court the fucking bigots" and I respect the hell out of that decision.
#y'all wanna roleplay dickheads then go play a game that isn't predicated on selflessness and hope in the face of despair. it's that simple.#by apples#dragon age: the veilguard#da:tv spoilers#i maintain that the level of dickheadery is proportionate to the story and player characters#hawke and the wardens are peak Just Some Guys and the warden is literally always conscripted out of fucked circumstances#the inquisitor is the type to be trusted to behave themselves at the powderkeg conclave and then is under excruciating scutiny and danger#and can still; it must be noted; be pretty fuckin evil#but rook was specifically selected to be the kind of person who both could and WOULD jump at the chance to fight a god to protect others
