I was rereading Unaching Scars (Which I Should Hide) and wanted to drop a quick compliment for the art!!! The scars are so amazing and really stand out, and I love what you did with the fire background!
Ooooh, thank you! <3 It's been so long that I sat here for about five minutes trying to remember which fic you mean... but then I recalled the Soulmate AU Pact of ages past, and the art I wrote for Pearl's fic, and the lightbulb went on above my head.
I'm glad you like it! At the time, I was still learning how to draw digitally, and just kind of threw brushes at the canvas to see what they did. That one turned out to result in some nice fire effects, lucky me!
#WyAnswers#i'll be honest my first thought was 'oh no that art is so old it's terrible'#and well its age does show#there's many things i could do better now#but at the same time now is now and then is then#and i always feel better if i appreciate my old art for what it was at the time without holding myself to my current standards#i was experimenting! i was drawing a gift! and it turned out nice!#that's the most important part

Finally at the landsmeet, hope i can finally find out what makes ppl defend Loghain as a character, beyond what ive seen in cutscenes and Anora talking about him.
He’s interesting, i sort of get why he’s compelling story wise. But. Why do people defend him. I am curious.
Apologies if im just bringing up old fandom talking points im playing the game for the first time 🙏
#dragon age#dragon age origins#dao#dragon age loghain#loghain mac tir#like. i get why ppl like him dgmw#but ive seen ppl defend his actions and its like. dude#hes literally involved in tevinter slave trade?#he knew what he was doing at ostagar too like#his plan fucking sucked LMAO#regardless of how anyone feels about cailin#like yes he was a fool but at least he cared that there was a blight 💀#to an extent-#how can a man dead set on never letting orlais occupy fereldan again#to the point of EVERYTHING that happens in dao#but then be ok with working with slavers from tevinter#taking elves right out of their homes#like what’s actually the point? more men?#does he not understand that he isnt the underdog here?#what does he do during dao that is helping his citizens?#like seriously#he wants to be king well nothing hes doing is fucking helping#so i hope whatever makes ppl defend him (beyond just liking him as a character)#shows up here bc. oof.#sorry for being mean in tags#if you like him sorry 🙏 i hope this finally lets me learn more about him#actually im not sorry if you like him#liking him is fine. that said defending him? that im curious about#that said its a video game and im more than a decade late so. who knows

Fic idea: Before or during his Red Hood plan. A returned from the pit Jason Todd is determined to make it to his high school senior prom
WAIT EVEN BETTER, It'd be longer and harder to write but I really like the idea of Jason just casually going to highschool too, and maybe it leads up to the prom. He just shows back up one day. Does something that manages to keep media attention off of him. Would it be before Red Hood? would it encourage him to not don the helmet? Would he do it while Red Hooding? Would he finally get to join an after school theater club?
#jason todd#red hood#dc comics#batman#theres Multiple stories about his school though i cant remember off the top of my head#immediately what comes to me is an annual where he's shown being friends with 3 boys who try to change their grades#its a very fun story#now i dont separate pre and post crisis in my mind well so the rest is probably most likely pre#-the bullies who tried to get others to do drugs#-rena(?) his girlfriend (definitely precrisis)#-the two girls who saw him reading a newspaper and said he was like a silver fox or something#i wpuld like to edit this to show comic numbers eventually#ANYWAY#back to the post#does anyone know he's alive? well. no. but he and talia can certainly have some strings pulled to make it look it#i cant stop thinking about this actually#i want him to go to prom and hang out with kids his age who knew him#and mostly thought he was a loser nerd stick in the mud. i feel jason would prefer that over the anger narrative the heros have#jason getting to dress in a fancy little suit! having a quick dance with rena!#i never got to go to prom so i am projection my desire onto jason also#its not like a big desire but im sad i never got to experience it#fic prompt#?#do i have a tag for this#EDIT: Comic references in the reblog now !

ppl keep saying they're ruining betty la fea with this amazon prime continuation not knowing betty in ny exists. i assure you there are other ways to ruin something and a divorce (sub-sub) plot when the characters are in their 50's is actually interesting. sorry u can't see that.
#even if betty and armando's divorce goes through#( which it wont bc its more complicated with the catholic church involved)#they would just marry each other again bc theyre insane#i say 'sub-sub' bc its not even a driving force in the story#as always its ecomoda's financial state#(thats why we have to kill it)#betty doesnt even really want the divorce. she says she does but all her actions show otherwise.#its called having a midlife crisis.#but everybody wants betty and armando look and be the same age they were at the end ysblf#well they're not.#so i highly recommend--with no malice in my heart--to go watch ysblf and it's spinoff. you'll be happier that way.

i wish i could articulate the experience of seeing a band you're into live like actually seeing them in person because its so strange yet fascinating
#every time i hear take me for a ride by sparks it makes me think of the nyc show - the first show of theirs i saw#bc that was their walk on music. and i was front row for that show#and like. it was so surreal. so strange. obviously in a good way but its just something id never experienced before#and i noticed this especially with russell in that i had a weird thought that went 'oh wow thats him. he realls looks like himself'#and like of course he looks like himself but what i meant by that was he looks like that guy who ive seen 5 billion images of. hes that guy#like not only does he look like the him in more recent pictures but seeing him in person like 10 feet away#its like i could recognize every era of him. i could see like 70s russell in his face. bc of course thats his face! but still#is this making any sense.#like i feel like if you met 70s russell once and never saw him again until now youd immediately recognize him#and sure thats because of two other things - one that he has distinct facial features kinda and also that hes aged so well#but it was again so surreal to be like. in the same space. right in front of. fairly close to. that guy whos been in my phone. you know?#this was true for ron and the other guys in the band too of course its that feeling of wow its them! those people ive only seen pictures of!#and again being front row for that was bonkers insane. its like what do you mean these people are real#but the thing w russell i just especially noticed almost immediately when they came out onstage like hes that guy. for real#is this making any sense . anyway i just had to finally get this one out#the only downside of this experience was that yes these people are real and yes they can see me. a little anxiety inducing#its like nooooo dont look at meeeee im such a weirdo i bought a ticket to see you like everyone else here#anyway. concert thoughts

As ever, some Danny mentions in Georgia's pod
#i wish i could click with her but i say i just cant 😅#just the constant mention that she held down fort and 'solo parented' whilst danny was in the jungle doesnt sit well#it was a month and you had plenty of help - its one school aged child too#sorry.. hits a nerve clearly#and her saying she didnt like it when cooper was glued to danny as she didnt feel appreciated..#god help me but he didnt see danny for a month and he literally won a show#eep.. maybe ill stop listening to this pod#even if dannys mentioned#i don't quite click with her as i do danny which does surprise me#Spotify

see you could say as much as you like that luffys dream isn't gonna be heroic bc he's not a hero or w/e. but luffy always does heroic shit Constantly. even if he wouldn't consider it heroic himself it's probably going to be some incredibly admirable shit. you can't take luffy at face value when he says that like. just look at him. boy's a hero innit
#i imagine the dream has smth to do with ushering in a new age. likely one of freedom. or like pirates which = freedom to him#and then you could be like “oh well not everyone will Like freedom” and thats why its Not Heroic#cuz he tells uta he's gonna bring forth a new generation at one point. in a filler episode for the movie but. that does seem significant#one piece#monkey d. luffy#i think people tend to take the “he's a pirate” thing too far#like yes he is a pirate. and also yes he is a very good boy. and he does heroic things all the time. those are not mutually exclusive#he's not The Kind Of Hero That Is Self Sacrificing specifically. but like. he is a hero. just like if you look at what he does. he is.#and like saying he's not a good boy bc hes a pirate is like. come on. are you watching the show#luffy's goodness is intrinsic to the show. it drives forward the plot constantly#luffy would not get as much support from ppl around him if he was not good!!! everyone helps him because he's good!!!#and he constantly wants to help people!! and fights to make their lives better!!! because he's good!!!!!!!!!!

At the same time, I think
Adaptations being unfaithful to the source material, especially long after it was first relevant, isn't inherently some great violence done to the text nor a perversion of some pure and noble goal of the original
Sometimes an adaptation of an older work will work with themes that are more contemporarily significant to its current audience, and that's not necessarily a bad thing
It can be very disappointing to ardent fans of the original work who expect to see what they love on the screen/stage/whatever in the adaptation, not only because they now might be privy to what is a completely different story, but also, because this was kind of totally the work's one shot at getting a brand new TV show/movie/stageplay/whatever any time soon, and so this is what experts call a "turbo bummer :("
Some works don't need to be derivative, but wouldn't be made in a certain media landscape if they weren't, so it's better for the story to be told and vaguely connected to a previous IP than to not be allowed to be told in the medium at all.
Ultimately the mark of whether a work of adaptation is good or not rests with its quality as its own story, and if it fucks, well sorry people who dislike it bc it's not the original, but it fucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Holy shit, two cakes
All of this does not mean I would not be mad if some adaptation team used MY writing to build their own new story on top of in my lifetime because I already did it perfect the first time thank you very much ;)
#rubia speaks#adaptation#for my fourth point i really think about matlock 2024. could it have been made without being a matlock show? well#as a story? yes. the matlock allusions only come in from time to time and it could have been its own Thing entirely as a story#but as a product? we're in an age of sequels and spinoffs. i don't think right now it would have been allowed to go to air if it#didn't have the matlock name attached. i was suspicious at first bc i've seen the original matlock and was wary of the new show#but i am happier with this show existing. i enjoy it. i look forward to seeing more episodes of it.#i think it's better for it to be able to do that with the matlock name than not at all. yknow?#the other points are about various other things though. i recognise the green knight is a fascinating and beautiful movie#while at the same time feeling its a turbo bummer i didnt get to see some of the vivid imagery of SGGK on the big screen#this doesn't mean the green knight was BAD for not including it but it DOES mean it might be forever until the next SGGK movie chance

#this cousin of mine has twins#twin boys#and while i sort of understand why she is the way she is with them#i realy cant wrap my head completely around it#because well#its such blind idiot stupid fucking BAD behaviour especially for a mother was especially towards her children#especially when theyre twins and youre so blatantly partial the favoured one KNOWS hes favoured#like. she has absolutely ruined her second boy and absolutely cannot handle him and yet slaps him every chance she gets#doesnt listen to him refuses to indulge him even the least bit shows zero affection and ive been here three days and man can i see#that child is fucking parched for affection specifically from him mother because he is neglected#he knows he is neglected#he is scared shitless of her and acts out of his way to get any attention he can because that is the only time his mother will hold him#be it with sharp fingers and a hold that digs into his skin#theyre literally just 5 years old#the neglected child i a fucking dream come true. is already smart as FUCK#does anything you tell him to do RIGHT THAT SECOND#the only flaw is that he doesnt listen when anyone tells him not to do something which isnt even a flaw for fucks sake#thats a fucking child hes gonna ASK#and you shout at him and dont amswer him and when he keeps asking you hit him#my heart fucking cries man#the other one knows his mother favours him and despises his brother and that evil fucker (i know its not his fault) lies#and gets his brother hit and then fucking TEASES HIM ABOUT IT THREATENS HIM LATER ON LIKE I AM SO DISGUSTED#HOW MUCH OF AN AWFUL PARENT DO YOU HAVE TO BE FOR YOUR KIDS TO BE AWARE OF HOW TO MANIPULATE YOU AT THE AGE OF FUCKING FIVE#F I V E (5).#they. are.

I get that they probably are trying to make the gigantic robot lizard as unscary as possible but who's idea was it to give the alligator fuzzy fleece skin
There isn't a closeup where it's still enough to be sure but that sure looks like puppet/mascot suit fleece to me.
Also since I'm here it looks cool without its skin
Imagineer for scale
#I'm finding out about princess and the frog ride stuff late#im not sure it's fleece but like. they made the crocodile guy fuzzy#it doesn't look like it's even stretching all that good its moving like it has a fabric skin#did the rubber they made ursula out of not age well or what#makes more sense to me to stamp scale texture into a rubber skin than to like. make it look like a giant stuffed animal.#plus it would like. bend and stretch in ways that fabric doesnt#like the way skin does#like the way the skin of the other characters they showed did#it's like. someone somewhere said 'make sure the animatronic looks exactly like the costume' so they had to commit to that#I'm impressed with literally every other part of this figure is why I'm so focused on the skin#would be nice if the eyebrow shapes on top of the eyes moved even a little bit but that's a nitpick all else considered#i will also say that i am impressed specifically by the hand poses they chose#i dont think this figure's fingers articulate at all but the pose they put it in makes it really difficult to tell as it moves and rotates#maybe they arent even final skins who knows#so much about this works so well its sort of weird to me how the skin stands out#i didn't mention the articulated stomach panel#i appreciate that they gave him dedicated gut motors to make squash and stretch happen#but it also makes me wonder why they didnt give that eyemask shape around his eyes any movement. the whole thing could squish up or down.#tons of expressive potential squandered

It's such a tiny innocuous thing that really doesn't matter, but I feel like calling duel monsters a children's card game (when it's fundamentally baked into everyday life, and your social existence is judged by what you play and how you play it so very intensely, for everyone in-universe) is an absolute injustice to what it is for that universe of people.
#marwospeaking#The following tags are a rant. please skip if you are not interested in reading a whole rant#to be clear. actual real life ygo sure. you can call that a children's card game (even if card game is just easier anyway)#but. in universe you Would Not call it a children's card game. not even sure you'd call it a game at that point#ygo worldbuilding fascinates on different levels. and to be honest this thought came to be via the abridged Shun compilation video#because he does mention children's card game (paraphrased) often earlier on in reference to in-universe duel monsters#but. for some people it literally defines if you die or not (Shun Was/Is In A War). for others it's your ticket to not go to jail because#you're too powerful to not be let off the hook (survival of the fittest kinda stuff really)#if you even dare not show up to a match. with crowds Equal To A Football/Soccer Championship. your family is in social ruins (Yusho)#these cards house spirits. and can be used for so many varied things between ending the world. starting the world. and coldblooded murder#and treating all of that as though its below a character. not because they're untouchable. but because of an age demographic#I feel misses a point about Arc V that I'm not sure I can quite articulate without sounding fully manic#in other series too! Synchro causes the world to end because it attracts some giant anti-synchro bois (meklords)#Numbers can either possess or take the form of someone's personal desires and feelings (Titanic Moth and Hope Harbinger are the same card)#(just different monsters because two different people used the exact card)#The God cards. the sacred beasts. the whole of GX's dimensional shenanigans and most definitely Yubel and Winged Kuriboh#Even in Vrains. which is very mild compared to the previous 3 installments. its still baked in their society. Its just aggregated#into cyberspace. That's not mentioning the Tortures that revolved around duelling to train AIs on children's brains so you could have..#.. cyber immortality. and then you choose to kill the AIs that you see as like children to you - mentioned directly to your biological son#ANYWAY. tldr. Having an in-universe character calling Duel Monsters a children's card game outside of DM specifically is a fundamental..#.. misunderstanding of how important it socially is in-universe. and it'd be much more understandable for someone whose life isn't dictated#by how well he can play it to say anything along the lines of 'its beneath me!!' than fuckign Kurosaki Shun are you kidding me.#We won't make an actual point at how the social lives of people don't seem to be solved by talking as much as duelling. no. we'll say..#.. its for children so we can point and laugh at how weird it is!! Buddy I Have Fallen Asleep.#in other news exploring the navigation of a world where talking out problems would be weird without a duel to communicate should be..#.. done way more often. This world is as anti-talk no jutsu as much as it is very pro-punch no jutsu.#arc v#< because part of this was inspired off of some of Shun's abridged lines early on

Yet another beautiful day to have the Maxwel tag blocked (can't see half of the posts in the Wendy tags)
#rat rambles#starve posting#maxwell posters have lost any semblance of tolerance from me ages ago Ive yet to meet a maxwell fan who's just like a normal person#and to clarify I actually do like maxwel as I am the number one just some asshole whos in too deep enjoyer#but dear god are ppl just absolutely incapable of being normal abt this man and everyone around him#and even beyond that ppl just do not get this man like please he is indeed interesting but not because of some 'retconed redemption'#like pls we can live in a world where he is not an irridemable monster and is in fact just some guy while also still being a flawed person#like the fact that he is so deeply flawed in ways that he never actually properly adressed and challenged is the interesting thing to me#like look at me. he went through horrible shit he didnt deserve. that didnt inherently make him a better or worse person#it just made him a more miserable person#and he didnt escape because of some change of heart or character development#and afterwards he teamed up with wilson because of necessity#I do think on some level he genuinely cares abt the other survivors and he does have genuine regret for how things turned out#but again those things dont inherently mean he moved past the flaws that got him here it just means he has the ability to recognize that#shit sucks and that he wish none of it happened#its why encore is one of my favorite animations from a character perspective because it shows some juicy charlie and maxwell stuff#mainly it shows both that charlie has not forgiven his ass and is manipulating him and that maxwell is still susceptible to it#which isnt a sigh of them rolling back development it's just a sign that maxwell is easy to manipulate with the right cards#which adds up considering his past and his present very well in my opinion#this is a man whos historically always ran away from his problems and is always on the hunt for a sense of control#and charlie tapped into both that and his ever present guilt#its in fact very unsurprising and not out of place for him to fall for that sort of manipulation#and it also makes for a great set up for the inevitable betrayal from charlie as maxwell is hit by the harsh reality of his situation#and that whole situation would lead to some yummy tasty parallels when charlie inevitably gets betrayed herself (I hope)#the ways charlie and maxwel are so similar yet so different facinates me deeply I love how much charlie doesnt realize shes kinda fucked#I want her to be betrayed so hard and left in the dust with no ground to stand on I want the rug pulled out from under her feet#her composition comes from her confidence in the necessity of her actions and the moral superiority she feels over maxwell#so having her sense of superiority be revoked would make for a super fascinating dynamic as she tries to justify the situation in her head#I wanna see her siral and then maybe change her pronouns idk

Anyway I started watching young sheldon a couple weeks ago because it was the first thing I saw when I opened hbo and you know what it's pretty good. All the characters are actually really engaging and fun and I'm interested in what they god going on. Even characters I thought I'd hate ended up being weirdly endearing.
I have to wait for the next season on hbo so I wanted to see if big bang theory was as bad as they all say since hey it's spin off is actuallypretty OK and maaaan it's kind of insufferable and I haven't seen a sitcoms like this in ages I forgot how absolutely annoying laugh tracks were. If you need a laugh track to tell the audience they should be feeling an emotion maybe the show just isn't that deep.
#the whole georgie plot with mandy is... a choice and idk how to feel about it#because most everyone seems more concerned about them having a baby out of wedlock instead of the age gap#he lied to her about the fact he was a minor but still#the show does portray well how that sort of information soreads like wildfire in a small town and how their small church shuts them out#which ive seen first hand happen to some church goers when i was a kid#the shows a little more real than big bang theory and doesnt inundate you with as many haha its funny because theyre geeks jokes#also i dont really want to physically fight anyone yet howard and leonard can meet me in the dennys parking lot tho

I feel like a modern version of The Beverly Hillbillies could be really interesting,
but I would NOT trust Netflix or anyone else in Hollywood to do it justice.
#blithering nonsense#the beverly hillbillies#does anyone remember that show?#it has its issues but some parts ages really well#good social commentary & critique of the upper class#anyways I know a reboot would get the Wednesday treatment and I don’t want that#even if I thought Wednesday was just OK#I don’t need more of the same done to other old shows

journeys is one of the most disheartening pokeani arcs because you can tell they had a decent setup for it but also that they had no clue what they wanted to do and lost steam partway through
#tbh some of the decisions legit make me wonder if a lot of it was pushed by tpci and they had to make a ton of changes#like. idk if id go as far as saying they made them add ash at the last minute but i do think tpci was weird about his arc here#while im glad they did choose to conclude his character in JN i do feel like SM was a good stopping point for him#and like i wonder if the original plan was for goh to be the sole protagonist bc he feels more realized than ash does in this arc#obviously i dont think that was a plan for very long if it even was a plan at all bc ash is so important to the show#but like at the very least i think they were just confused and not sure how to handle ash#and this is purely speculation on my part dont take it as gospel but i wonder if theres like a ton of mandates around ash#that makes it a bit harder to write stories around him these days. like in OS he was allowed to be a fuckhead basically#but now that hes basically a second mascot for the entire franchise i imagine theres a lot of strings attached to him now#like thats the real reason he never ages or anything its a lot of corporate stuff.#and despite JN supposedly having more freedom than any other series they probably couldnt do too much with ash or something#idk if that really tracks well with SM tho ill have to check once im there#but idk maybe thats why he and pikachu both are weirdly characterized there#echoed voice
