[ID: a digital drawing of lain iwakura from the series "serial experiments lain", depicted sitting in her room at night from a high angle, as different electronic lights illuminate the otherwise entirely dark room. She's depicted wearing her signature white nightgown, surrounded by computers, piles of routers, glowing monitors and cables, as she connects two cables together. The hour, as appears on a watch on the PC in front of her glowing in green, is 2:01 AM. end ID.]
Late night wiring.

[DC] doodled these two a lot this week
#clam draws#dc#kon el#kontent#Conner kent#superboy#cassie sandsmark#wonder girl#this started bc I was thinking about how they have similar outfits and parallel journeys to like masculinity and femininity I think#and part of it is due to the differences in 2000s and 90s culture but also I think this is geoffs fault#like perhaps Cassie does get euphoria from presenting more femme but it’s written by men who just didn’t find her appealing before#and kon well he already lost the jacket and had designs changes before tt03 but there’s still a noticeable difference I think in the way#he presents himself demeanor wise after johns#and ofc johns meant none of this but I like a silly spider am crawling over it and just making my own narrative threads p#as in like oh they’re in a new stage in their life and they have to wrestle w their identities as one does#but like eventually find a new middle ground?#like yeah I can make a narrative#but if I haddd to choose what they’d do instead like if I were in charge of tt03 and told to make them fit 2000s culture I would have at lea#at least made them grunge or smth idk .#what am I even saying#dc clamics

What's an otome?
You read a picture book to romance fictional characters, anon.
(for reference: on page 2 the second panel characters are from Steam Prison. Vita touch mechanic mention is Bad Apple Wars and the sexism call outs is in Sweet Fuse.)
I struggle personally with the self-insert intended otome because I look at characters and go "that's my son now" and I can't romance my son! That's why I prefer games with a designated design and some bare-bones personality protags. THEY can romance my son.
#moe talks a lot#holy moly this took SO MUCH TIME and you have to understand i made the comment about otome games#in my tags five days ago#and got this anon earlier today#me not googling shit outta respect for being the artificial otome expert to anon#please understand i love otome a lot and there are LOTS of them out there and a lot of them are INSANE to talk about plot wise#like im not even joking about the calling out sexism mechanic#im not even joking when i say you have men like you more after you call them out for sexist comments while#you are all being held hostage in an amusement park with mascots that play charades with you so they dont talk#and the mascots just wear pig helmets and leotards and are SUPER endearing somefuckinghow#i always forget how gosh darn GRAY my hair is until i get it cut and then im like TEEHEE look how cute i am going gray#from my stresses and anxieties at a young age#been going gray since my 20s yeehaw#please appreciate this anon i spent a lot of time on it and i dont even know why

He took one of her hands in his and proceeded to gently spin her about the small living space as the melody encompassed the pair of them. Aurora recognized the somber tune; the man singing - a tragic, muggle figure in American history.
His voice swelled as the melody flowed.
Harry held her tight against his chest, humming softly along with the harmony. The sound filled her heart with something devastating and profound, something she very much knew the name of.
“Like a river flows… Darling, so it goes… some things are meant to be,” his voice was low as he sang, resting his cheek against hers, the deep, baritone of his voice resonating in her ear and through the chambers of her heart.
“Shall I stay,” his arm tightened around her. “Would it be a sin…? ” Aurora closed her eyes, allowing his scent to drown her beneath a river of love…
Yes, yes… It was love.
“If I can’t help, falling in lo- ”
Aurora pressed her lips against his, ending the smooth, sweet sound spilling forth. And as the music continued to fill the space around them, Aurora did not stop the passion pouring from her, dousing him in a different sort of desire.
“I love you,” she whispered fervently, pulling away from him slowly, staring straight into his eyes. “I love you, very much, Harry Potter.”

We see him come and know him ours
Russia: "Carol of the Russian Children," traditional // Kenya: The Nativity, Elima Njau // France: "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella," Nicolas Saboly // Haiti: Madonna and Child, Ismael Saincilus // Australia: "The Three Drovers," William James // China: Tryptic by Lu Hongnian // Canadian/Algonquian: "Huron Carol," Jean de Brébeuf
#the visual depictions are lovely#but what really gets me every time are the little cultural details in the music#music that tells the story of the Nativity while placing it in a world that's familiar to the listener#fur robed moujiks on snowboard plateaus in place of middle eastern shepherds#bark lodges instead of stables and rabbit skin in place of swaddling clothes#wandering hunter and chiefs from far off places instead of shepherds and wise men (man i love the Huron Carol)#and little french girls running to gather the village to come see Jesus#it's easy for an excess of historical concern to make Jesus feel distant and far off#/I know/ that Jesus was born in the ancient near east and have had my fill of books and sermons and the like unpacking the implications#I've laughed with my friends and family at the wild inaccuracies of Nativity sets and tellings#the crazy blonde mary in the kids nativity set at Walmart#what is that alpaca doing at the living Nativity don't they know those are south American?#yada yada#and then i look at these carols and think. it's okay not to get mired in the history. good even#yes Jesus entered into time and space in a very specific manner#but he also came for all of us#as another carol says: we see him come and know him ours#i just think this practice is lovely#that the impact of the Incarnation was such that it send little french girls running to their villages#and drew algonquin hunters and russian peasants to the manger to see him#it's the great crowd of witnesses in a way#all of us together preparing him room throughout all the corners of the earth#in Bethlehem that night it was only the shepherds who got to see him#but in spirit it was all of us#because it's just like the angel said:#good news of great joy which will be to all people#to all people#starting with the shepherds and going out to all the earth#unto us a child is born#intertextuality

maybe I am bisexual and just the pickiest bisexual on planet earth. this does not, however, impact me in any way whatsoever so I'll continue to never know that answer
#I was trying to describe my type in ppl to marie like yesterday and just cackling bc it's#the most specific ass thing on EARTH. not physically just like#gender/sexuality/spiritual wise and it's.#I'm already picky w people who aren't men and then I'm even pickier with men where it's like#there's maybe 3 men on planet earth I could ever fuck#so does it really impact me to say I like them...... nah it's simply not relevant

Whatever you say about the X-men movies I will always respect James Mcavoy's acting choices as professor X
(look, Sir Patrick Stewart will always be iconic and James clearly had big shoes to fill) I just love how he took one look at this wise, powerful and well loved character and said fuck it I’m playing him young so I’m going to do what I want, and he was so right for that
case in point
In First Class Charles was a drunk, egoistic, nerdy and obnoxious yet charming trust fund kid who was not above cheap telepathy tricks to get a date
In DOFP he was a drug addict and a complete asshole, who only gave a shit about where he could get his next hit
In apocalypse I think he just went fuck this, I’m just going to be that hot, DILF English lit teacher who all the nerds and gays imprint and crush on
In dark phoenix (yeah me neither) he was literally said "Charles is a rich, manipulative, power hungry bastard who masquerades as a kind soul"
He also made Charles at least 75% gayer (if that's even possible)
#charles xavier#sir patrick stewart#james mcavoy#the contrast is sending me#i fucking love his interpretation#that man really had the most fun playing charles didn't he#it is also how the character was written#and the script#but he did say he wanted to make prof x different from what we know him to be#as in show more of his flaws because he played him before he was old and wise#and he described charles in dark phoenix as a politician#proffesor x#xmen#x men movies#xmen first class#dark phoenix#xmen days of future past#xmen apocalypse#those xmen movies are a mixed bag really#morally grey professor x for the win

if anything let this be a lesson to bzito of why he should not let ekky and mikksy go because when they are out of the lineup the cats cannot and will not play pantrs hockey they are so central to that identity its fundamentally impossible without them in this lineup
#txt#do you know how insane i sounded having to go “our offence is stagnant rn because we dont have our dmen”#the fucking LOOKS i got at the heat game when i said that#and getting proven absolutely right#listen im a mikksy and ekky lover at heart i know it sounds bias when i say it to casuals#but (points extensively at this game) i cant say im wrong#so billiam choose wisely do not let these men walk or there will be hell to pay <3

Proof that bsd would be a lot better if they just let it pass the Bechdel test more often
#It barely counts too since the conversation between Kyouka and Kouyou verges a lot on men but eh that's the best we can offer#Idk I just really like Kyouka's arc and think that in this episode too it was well developed.#Her relationship with Kouyou really is one of the most interesting of the whole franchise.#About that I LOVE LOVE LOVE KOUYOU WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT HER ALL THE TIME I want her back as soon as possible 😭😭😭#And her va is k/l/k's Ryuuko va aka my favourite va ever from my favourite anime ever. God I love k/l/k an inconceivable amount#Which is funny because k/l/k also does have a villain mother figure#The Kyouka / Kouyou dynamics are a lot like. The very watered down version of the Emma / Isabella dynamics.#(I'm once again saying read t/p/n)#I just think. Kyouka's interior struggle is really interesting and we don't talk about it enough!!!#Also FINALLY SEASON 2 ATSUSHI HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!#I really don't know what's up with anime Atsushi every time he's on screen I'm hit by cuteness aggression. It's an illness.#Next. Can we agree Reason Living is the best b/sd op of them all both music wise and visuals wise#MAYBE on par with True Story for visuals but that's it.#Again I really can't vibe with Granrodeao but that's intrinsically a matter of personal taste //////#MARGARET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARGARET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#Also Akutagawa voice cameo eheh <33#There'll probably be a lot of screaming over characters this time lol sorry in advance. Unfollow me now etc. etc.#random rambles

roy harper fans: sorry in advance for the fic im editing and posting today! if you read rhato it's pretty hard to view him in a positive light. and i want to talk about rhato.
premise:
dick grayson finds out that roy dated kory. you know -- when she had trauma induced amnesia, had isolated herself from anyone who remembered and cared about her, and was behaving erratically.
dick grayson punches roy harper right in his fucking nose.
#i think ill call this fic 'bechdel in reverse'#because its two guys talking about nothing but a girl who matters to them#if a single one of you says 'this puts roy in a bad light!!!! we should just ignore rhato!!!'#many of you swore off rhato because it made kory 'slutty'#when you should have swore off rhato because it made roy harper a predatory piece of shit#i was reading a book recently about nellie bly's experience undercover at an asylum#and one of the doctors creepily tried to take advantage of her: 'dont you remember me from your life before? we were in love... kiss me'#roy might not have pretended to be someone he wasnt#but you know what he DID do? agree to sleep with her.#when he KNEW her before. and she didnt remember him.#and when he HAD to have known something was wrong with her personality-wise. he'd been on a TEAM with her.#kory is not cold and 'love has nothing to do with sex so dont call it making love'#the fact that roy would sleep with her is morally reprehensible and i do not want to hear otherwise!!!! this is a defender free zone!!!#and i dont want to ignore rhato. im tired of people ignoring arcs that make men look bad when yall dont do that for women#so im done minding my business now its time for war

@david-kawena
It was just a regular Thursday morning.
Nani was just walking to the office, swinging her briefcase with a lightness in her heart that she hadn't felt in a few months, the cool air sneaking down her collar to kiss her collarbones and send shivers racing up the back of her neck as the wind plucked her hair, shoving it back over her shoulders.
It was nothing like the brisk wind off the ocean, tinged with salt, but it still felt good to turn her face into the breeze, breathing deep and feel like it was cleansing her heavy soul.
Nani's eyes opened and landed on a familiar figure coming up the sidewalk toward her. She froze in place, lips parting in surprise and for a moment, thought she might have to pinch herself.
Because there was no way that this was her David walking toward her, face so familiar that her heart twisted as though it was trying to flee her chest.
All the air left her lungs in a whoosh, then pulled back in sharply as she gasped,
"David?!"
#thread (wise men say) & david#//omggggg already crying#no hurry i just was so excited i couldnt wait lmao
