Stay Gold —Buy it here! <3

i can share my sodapop design with y’all now!

two things with this—one, this was my first time drawing this head angie because dumbass never tried experimenting before and 2. i’m actually really happy with the flannel because i hand drew the pattern and it turned out better than i thought 🙏

i think i experimented a lot with this drawing which was a lot of fun! but if you wanna see the full piece you gotta buy the stay gold zine <3

this was a lot of fun to draw, and i’m happy with this little snipshot :) please reblog this to spread awareness about the zine!! it’s going to a really good cause and i know i and so, so many talented artists and writers put a lot of time and effort into these pieces, and the profits made through buying the zine is going to the save the children’s organization, and it really is an amazing cause :)

I really don’t understand why people hate Tommy so much? Like. It’s okay not to like the guy, but if you think he’s just a temporary love interest anyways then literally why do you care???

Heyyyyy just wanted to say a big thanks to all the fans of this very niche gimmick account!!

I’ve been thinking about the direction of this account—definitely gonna still be doing the daily Pink Diamond happenings, but also wondering if I should expand on that and start interacting with other posts as this (very fanon) Pink Diamond character, maybe also reblogging Pink Diamond posts I think are cool and want to share.

Would y’all be up for that or should I stick to the gimmick?

Google has done an amazing job with it's new features on Google Docs! They now have handy dandy popups that are soo aggressively in my face that instead of me actually using their product I am now investing in a literal ream of notebook paper and cute stationary just so i can have some god damn peace when I FINALLY get the motivation to write!

Thinking about Guel Jeturk (Pt 1)

He is such a cool character. He's such a genuine piece of shit and at the start of the show I really thought, even if he did change, that I wouldn't like him, but by the time the show ended I genuinely wanted for his happiness as much as every other character.

So I just wanna talk about him I guess

Cringe analysis under the cut awooo awooOOoooOooo

I think it's important that Guel starts off the show as just an actual shithead. He's just the misogynist bully archetype at its core and he treats Miorine like property and everyone else like they're beneath him, but it's also important to understand the context of that behavior too.

Guel has basically everything. Money, Prestige, Power, Respect. Everything has essentially been handed to him on a silver platter, and as long as he continues to win duels (the only thing he is actually, GENUINELY good at) that won't change. And with that comes an insane amount of pride and arrogance. He expects things to go his way because, for basically his entire life, that's just how things have always been. In the business world that he's been surrounded by, the strong always win out over the weak.

But with Suletta, all of the pride and respect that comes with his title and status is utterly and completely meaningless to her.

And he tries his classic shtick of listing out all of his titles on her, because in the world he lives in, that alone is what makes him worthy of either fear or respect.

But it doesn't work on Suletta, because the world of the Benerit Group is not the real world, the one she lives in. She repeatedly looks past all of his flashy titles and admonishes and judges him for his BEHAVIOR, the true merit of his character.

When she agrees to duel him, Guel sees it as putting an ignorant girl in her place. And why would he believe otherwise? He's always been on top at Asticassia, and this is no different. Dueling is the one thing that he KNOWS he's good at. It's the one skill that is definably his, that he truly earned through his own hard work. It's why he get so upset and defensive when Suletta looks down on him.

But the important thing here is that he LOSES to Suletta. BADLY.

And the lesson Guel is forced to learn from this loss is that every single thing he latched onto in his life, everything that he decided makes him worthy of respect and admiration, is not only immaterial, but, more importantly, conditional.

His pride and status, his role as heir of the Jeturk Company, and, most damning of all, his father's love, was based entirely on whether or not he was the current Holder at Asticassia.

Because he lost one duel, (the FIRST duel he had ever lost, mind you) a duel to a Gundam that, based on what we know, was quite literally unwinnable, Guel's father slaps him across the face and yells at him.

Before the rematch, when Guel is told that the Darilbalde is piloted by an AI, his father slaps him across the face AGAIN and tells him straight up that his feelings do not matter if he's not the Holder.

Which is why the scene where Suletta defends him from Secelia's taunts and explains her motto is so important

Everyone in Guel's life at this point, even his own father, looks down upon and mocks him for losing the duel. But Suletta isn't. She just tells him that even though he lost, he still deserves praise for not running away.

This is probably the first time in his life anyone has ever just told him that. That it's okay that he lost. That it's enough that he just tried.

Quick aside, but this moment here, when Suletta is talking about how much her mother means to her, and Guel holds his hand up to the cheek his father slaps him across hasn't, and will probably never, leave my brain.

But Suletta's words don't reflect Guel's reality. And the fact that he lost means even more is being taken from him, including his ability to even duel.

During the rematch, the Darilbalde doesn't even respond to his input. He, like Miorine, is having all of his decisions made for him, because without the title of holder, he's utterly powerless.

And the truly tragic thing here is that, once Guel smashes the AI and begins fighting on his own, he starts doing much better than when the AI was fighting and his father was cheating for him. He was genuinely a match for Permet 1 Aerial. But it's too late.

Maybe this is just me, but I always got the impression that if Guel was able to fight this battle on his own from the start, it would have been much more even, and he might have even won. But he didn't. He lost, again. And because of this, things are going to get much worse for him, really damn fast.

accidentally reblogging stuff to the wrong blog <<<

[illmoraineakoi]

Hey, does anyone know how to get rid of the stupid "check out these communities" suggestions they've started shoving between posts on the dashboard?

Looked in all over in settings, but it doesn't seem to be an option. Is there an Xkit extension for it yet?

[mailperson]

tbh on a purely functional level (meaning ignoring site culture or staff behavior etc etc) the only notable changes in quality in tumblr over the last decade is ads are way too frequent now and the ‘nsfw ban’ sucks

[duscarasheddinn]

Am I the only one that Tumblr keeps trying to push to join groups (or something that feels new) I'm not too interested in?

I'd rather not block them, but it's kind of annoying to say "not interested" to several posts.
