Merlin is a little bit unsettling (she's trying to be friendly)

Me, to my friend, discussing both Barbie and Oppenheimer: I mean actually maybe people should just stop expecting a 2 hour movie or even a 3 hour movie to contain all the things and fix feminism or whatever. You can't fit all the important stuff into that slot, there just isn't room, and the medium doesn't let you ruminate over stuff properly. It has its place, it's part of the narrative, let it be what it is and take from it what's there, then find the rest somewhere else. Seek it out, don't expect it to be handed to you on a platter. No movie can be everything.

Also me: Except Everything Everywhere All At Once, of course. EEAAO really is that good

A thought that's been running 'round my mind for a couple of days:

Young Gaius could GET IT! He has an aura about him that lures you in and makes you believe he can and will do whatever he wants. He's got that Big D energy, if you will.

He's cute, flirtatious, attractive, fierce, smart, funny! He loves, he lusts, he hates. He schemes and plots, forges alliances and breaks them, outsmarts his foes and is streets ahead of them.

HE CAN GET IT 👏👏👏👏

And from the first moment he and Livia meet, even the moment he sees her wearing a veil and walking towards Nero, as a viewer you can just sense how intrigued and curious he is about her. And when they actually meet there's fire and lust and passion there - in their body language, their gazes, the unspoken. It makes you feel like you are there with them as well or at least wish to be - that's how charged their energies are. Of course they used each other for political and financial reasons, but the Passion (yeah, with capital P) was there, so palpable and real.

I mean, look at this!

On the other hand, older Gaius just doesn't have the same appeal. He can get it, but only because he's the Emperor and can't be refused. Not once have I thought 'What a stud'... I don't get any sense that he was this 'young Gaius Julius Caesar' who conquered and destroyed and rebuilt Rome and whom others fear or have feared. I feel like older Gaius could never end up with young Livia, that is, she wouldn't consider him as any option other than for political benefit. It's like he's not the same man and the fire that drew her to him initially is missing.

In that regard, to me at least, Agrippa has also changed but towards becoming more open and showing more of his emotions as he was getting older. I can totally buy that young and older Agrippa are the same person because they are both exuding with that strength, passion, and fierce resolution only amplified with age.

As a viewer I knew he had feelings for Livia when he was just a young man and I know he loves her now that they are older because the feelings and actions and his body language show it every.single.time! And regardless of his age, he can get it 👏👏👏 no question!

I'd always root for young Gaius and Livia because they burnt with kin flames, but the only fire, that unbridled passion and actual love years and years later are harboured by Agrippa.

Until we get physical proof of who Gale's father is, I'm just going to come up with the wildest theories regarding his parentage. I like to think his dad is dragonborn, but he himself has relatively few to no dragon like traits. Maybe a couple of scales here and there and a longer than average tongue but otherwise, nothing. And then he has children in the future with Tav/Companion of your choice who are clearly not dragonborn, but their child very much is. It's incredibly confusing anyone who doesn't know about Gale's dad.

Why do you not like the way he draws Starfire? Genuinely curious as I’ve seen that a lot of people don’t like it, but isn’t he just drawing the characters in his own style but based off the original TT show?

my problem is with how the teen titans show drew starfire (which, as you mentioned, is where picolo draws inspiration from). her hair is basically the most recognizable part of her design, and the cartoon removed it. It's a good design, it's just not starfire, y'know? It's a very whitewashed design too

Ok ik I haven’t even finished Shinobu’s chapter of Giyuu Can’t Communicate but I imagine when they get to Sanemi finally (last) he’s got all the other Hashira behind him to “help” so it becomes the world’s worst group project

Giyuu: alright guys any ideas?

Tengen: idk what the big deal is, you guys obviously need to just get over yourselves and f—

Shinobu, covering Tanjiro’s ears: TENGEN!

Tengen: *shrugs* it’s true!

Mitsuri: well, maybe you ought to romance him first! Out to a nice dinner? Ooh! A stroll in the gardens!!

Tanjiro: romance him first before what?

Tengen: before they f—

Giyuu, covering Tanjiro’s ears again: not helpful Tengen!

Obanai: I think I’m going to puke

Muichiro: sorry, who are we talking about again? I wasn’t listening

Giyuu: oh my god

Tanjiro: also, are we like 100% on the ‘Tanjiro isnt allowed to stab him’ thing?

Shinobu: yes! No stabbings!

Tanjiro: because personally I think I should be allowed to, it’s only fair after what he did to Nezuko—

Tengen: I can think of something Giyuu can stab him with—

Giyuu: TENGEN!

i wrote another rambly dennis analysis and deleted it <3 y'all don't need that

[glsneeg-enthusiast]

Eagle anon here: memory issues go crazy but I’ve been here long enough that I’m pretty sure I remember the anon youre talking about. The person who like. Asked you to draw a specific character that isn’t being centered in your blog? That others would be happy to draw? And then they got mad at you for. Not wanting to do that. I hope I’m remembering it right. Like yeah it’s fine to like whatever character you want but don’t get upset that other people don’t like or center their fandom experience around them.

Also you know that image of a subway sandwich where it’s like “my brother in Christ you __ the __”; image that but it’s

“I don’t like what’s on this blog :(((“

“By brother in Christ you clicked on the blog”

thats basically it yeah

Tbh I still want to know if Frey could ever potentially transform into a dragon (ideally temporarily lol) since she has the same magic abilities as Cinta and the same pain in the ass demon attached to her who apparently grants Dragon Transformation Powers

Mag na Scathanna is both a settlement and a congregation of a certain type of fae. These are the ban-sith, or 'banshee,' who are associated with death, water and fate. There are several kinds that reside but they are generally called 'ban-sith.' Fitting with the descriptions of them, most are old women although this is not iron-clad.

While it is considered in the Unseelie, it is also an entrance or beginning to the Otherworld. And this place was a gift to the residents from those of the Otherworld namely the 'gods' or something of a similar vein. Because many beings from there understand or are not bothered by the clairvoyant nature of the ban-sith. However because they are belonging to this realm they cannot really inhabit the Otherworld (at least that is what is told) so they have this place very close to it to stay.

And it was a sole condition that had to be filled and it was for them to use their gifts for others. The visions that they see are usually surrounded by death (and by extension destruction) so they were grim seers of fortune. While it wasn't pleasant, it was necessary. That is what the Unseelie saw them for while the Otherworld maintained the land with the abundance for their service.

However over time...the land seemed to become more desolate despite the faithfulness to their duty. But many were old...they were past being worried even if they did complain about the symptoms rather than cause of their woes.

Faolan, Balmoral's mother, saw the silence of the Otherworld as them needing to save themselves. Letting themselves be overlooked would not help their condition. If the Otherworld was going to abandon them, what other choice was there than getting help from the place that was supposedly their realm?

Of course this led to the destruction of the settlement altogether. Which is still viewed as an omen. One of ill or not is debatable. Of course, Balmoral knows of it a bit more personally than most fae would speak of it. However he does feel a bit divorced from it seeing as so much of it was lost and that his only source...he cannot ask questions about.

Now he may have some bias because of his mother's bitterness and ire of the fate of Mag na Scathanna, Balmoral does hold a bit of anger about it all. After all, those that should be able to are all dead and he's one of the few that still have the blood of those slaughtered. And for what? Deities that long gave up caring about it? For selfish fae that didn't know how to handle being told of death and destruction?

The fae part, he's made peace with since he's ripped the Unseelie apart in some ways and pruned out what he would have deemed the 'taint' of the land. The deities though...Balmoral feels people that do what they want (although like Seelie, Unseelie more believe in land than deities). But for those that were supposed to honor a deal...

'I have no use for gods that are as fickle as my subjects.' He does not really care for the Celtic in particular because of their reneging. But Balmoral does again admit he has a bias as a child from the peoples wiped out and that if he weren't, he probably would not care. However that disdain does not hold over to the rest of divinity nor any other pantheons. To him, they're going to be whatever they want and so long as they're not infringing on his kingdom, they can do what they want. Because, ultimately, it is the land and his subjects that are are Balmoral's care as both a fae and a ruler.

[wintercrash]

Wait so why does everyone hate P!ATD?

Well at this point, is a lot of different things (you can totally search them up online and have a deeper perspective) but basically people hate Brendon Urie because:

-racist, misogynist, transphobic, lgbtphobic comments he has made in the past

-mistreatment of past members (d*llon)

-having controversial people associated in the band (k*nny h*arris, z*ck h*ll)

-his ego and narcissist tendencies

-refusing to leave the patd name and taking advantage of the project that Ryan and Jon started
