#at least in pop culture

[friendlycursedspaceotter]

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. The past few weeks have been a torment. I cannot complete the essay on how Pride and Prejudice combats amatonormativity through the emphasis on familial and sisterly relationships, and also contains extensive evidence for my aroace Mary headcanon and how Jane Austen inadvertently created one of the first queer characters in British media by 11:59 tonight. I have fought against the threat of failure in the class, my worse judgements, and the great admiration of my beloved feminist literature teacher. I am now in need to ask her to put aside all that and end my agony.

I hate this. Most ardently. Please do me the honor of allowing me to make it into a Tumblr post.

Originally they were gonna be watching Krampus (2015) but that seemed a little too mean-spirited, but I really wanted to draw my s/i showing Arthur a...different kind of Christmas movie 😂😂

My dramatic ass waking up this morning to Zendaya staring in a NOLAN film with Tom along with so many other projects, Wonka 2 and Dune 3 start filming in 2026 confirmed, Z absolutely about to sweep at awards season, and my best friends back together again (Z, Mike and Josh) bc I needed this joy after such a fucked up week.

wolfstar will always be that old couple that thinks all 70's pop culture is superior to anything new. they get so judged by hari who's decked out in a blur tshirt and baggy jeans and chunky cardigans and wears tracksuits when he's not exercising and has a growing cd collection. remus, to him, is so old and uncool other than his smoking habit and cardigans, and although sirius will always be the pinnacle of cool to him, he can't believe his godfather still wears flares and solely uses records and thinks some band called 't.rex' are better than nirvana.

It really rubs me the wrong way how Caeneus is killed in this show, in mythology he was a powerful warrior and a king with invulnerable skin and he was killed in a war against the centaurs who buried him alive bc they couldn’t stab him with swords and spears, a hell of a way to go but still a badass to the bitter end, and bro had a bit of an ego and worshiped his spear.

He even killed a centaur who misgendered him.

In the show he is an exiled Amazon who is outed by his mother and the amazons misgender him before killing him. I’m not trans but I can tell this is iffy af.

headcanon that hazel had the most parasocial beef imaginable with shirley temple. 8 year old hazel was writing hate mail to the local paper with her crayons calling the also 8 year old shirley a sellout and an industry plant. in 2010 hazel's watching nick at nite on the fifth cohort rec room tv and sees the 2 minute long shirley temple box set commercial and loses her fucking mind.

GRAAAHHH SORRY THIS IS SUDDEN BUT OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND YOU. IM THE BENREY THAT RAN UP TO YOUR BOOTH AR AMW THIS YEAR AND MY FRIEND BOUGHT ME LIKE ALMOST ALL YOUR VALVE STUFF, I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I GOT BACK TO THEIR ROOM CAUSE LIKE DUDE. THAT MEANT EVERYTHING FOR ME, I WAS GENUINELY SO SO SO HAPPY TO SEE THE FANDOM IS STILL ALIVE AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FANS IN THE WILD FOR YEARS. THE EXPERIENCE WAS ENLIGHTENING TO SAY THE LEAST AND IM SO SO JOYOUS ABOUT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH !1!11! :•3

:D !!!! HI!!! I REMEMBER YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY, I'M SO HAPPY IT WAS MEMORABLE FOR YOU!!

people who are so enthusiastic about the things i make and the fandoms i rep at my booth are THE #1 coolest part of the experience 🥺 i feel like convention artist alleys these days are mostly filled with the same 4 popular anime/mobile games and it's really hard to find less popular anime, let alone things like video games and webseries. you would not believe how many comments I got that people never see things like Team Fortress 2 or Portal in AAs, let alone stuff like Infinity Train or HLVRAI 😭 the people who recognize them are always SO excited and then I'M excited and we are BOTH excited and nerding out together. it's fantastic!!!

the hlvrai fandom is definitely still going strong! i still see a lot of fanart and community posts and my sales on my few hlvrai things on my etsy have Not slowed down lmao. i'm sure if covid didn't happen there would have been so many benry cosplayers in 2020. we were ROBBED </3 i've seen You and one benry cosplayer at ACEN last year and that was IT </3 </3 </3

ten minutes into Monty Python and the Holy Grail (yeah yeah ik, "it's a classic, how haven't you seen it yet?!" trust me this is the story of my life) and can I just say: what the fuck is this movie (affectionate)

[blackbackedjackal]

For context — if it matters in this case? — “Concrete” was actually drawn by a black artist (lamar abrams) and then an unnamed other person wrote the name and description. At least the character wasn’t drawn with that intention in mind…? But someone still looked at that drawing and decided to write. that. so.

So this is something I've been thinking about during this discussion is if we as Black creators can or should reclaim the style? The way my classmate did it in college was baller because he was making satirical work of the early days of the Black Lives Matter movement. I defiantly think it has it's uses to spread awareness about anti-Black rhetoric.

Personally though, I'd rather just see more realistic depictions of Black people in animation.

"The Force is With(in) Me" Spell

This is an extremely simple spell, requiring very little. It is meant as a reminder and a very quick check-in with your heart.

Materials:

Paper(small, pocket size!)

Pen(in your favorite color, bonus points if the color matches your dream lightsaber)

A symbol representing you.

Steps:

First, you need to clear your mind. It doesn't have to be a lot, just allow your focus to fall inwards. I recommend focusing on your breathing.

Draw the symbol representing you onto the center of your pocket sized notebook paper. Think something you can slide into your wallet.

Focus on sensing your own heart. What do you feel is the right thing to do? What distracts or stops you from following that baseline? Think of these things, and then let those roadblocks go. Pass them to the force after you have examined why you feel this way. Write around your symbol "The Force is a guide. It is a connection from me to the world, and the world to me. If the Force is in everything, the Force is within me. I can trust my heart to the Force, and that the Force will guide my heart. I trust my heart. I trust the Force."

Once you have written these things, fold it up. Draw a symbol that represents the force, and slide it to a pocket or place in your wallet where you can pull it out and remind yourself.

Trust is hard. Trusting yourself is harder. Allow the Force to help you find trust easy again.

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

[oifaaa]

Does Bruce care about Jason Todd at all?

Depends on who's writing, if you only take into account good batman writers then the answers a resounding yes, he may not be great at showing it at times but Bruce has stated multiple times that he cares and loves all his kids including Jason

Do you think Siffrin would be good at the board game ”In other words”? bc he always has to describe another word each time they forget it in vaugardian

I'm finding a couple different games with the same name on google, but this one is popping up the most:

In this game, players move around the board and solve puzzles in one of six categories: Movies and Television, Terms, Quotes & Sayings, Literature, Cliches & Expressions, or Music. The puzzles are in the form of phrases that have to be translated into the actual saying on the card. For example, the movie "Away With the Breeze" is "Gone With the Wind", and the book "The Victor's Ring" is "The Winner's Circle".

Which I think would... vary wildly. Like sometimes they'd be totally clueless even though they should know it, it's just on the tip of their tongue but also totally out of reach. But sometimes they're just like oh yeah of course I know this obscure Poterian orchestral piece, there's not really any other direction you could go with that clue..?

I do think this game wouldn't be as bad for them as other trivia games, because there's an actual strategy you can use to jog your mind instead of just sitting there clueless: start running through synonym combinations! And I do see what you mean about Siffrin having experience doing that, lol. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be able to come up with the right synonym...

Idk if it's supposed to be played with teams but I'm sure the crew would anyway, so I think Siffrin would do well paired with someone who knows lots of words, so they can list synonyms until Siffrin's like OH that one!!

I would put Mirabelle vs Isabeau on opposite teams since they'd both have a normal amount of knowledge of Vaugardian pop culture, and big vocabularies from reading. And then Siffrin vs Odile because they're less familiar with Vaugardien, and Odile's better at some categories and Siffrin at others. And then kids generally aren't very good at these games because they don't have as big a knowledge base, so one team just gets a bonus Bonnie, maybe Siffrin's to help make up for their memory issues. Or, if Isabeau's substantially better at general pop culture than Mirabelle (bc he's put work into being A Sociable Guy vs Mira being shy and focused on classes), then maybe Isabeau vs Mirabelle+Siffrin vs Odile+Bonnie...?i

Aro culture is wondering if you’re actually aromantic or if it’s just your seveeere intimacy issues.. I literally get awkward over a hug, how could I possibly let someone close to me?
