#because why would I ever turn that off | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

I’m glad Tumblr is refocusing (I hope Tumblr Live dies a swift death), but I’m also committing to providing funding to my favorite hellsite because I can afford to. I guess over a decade of free use is enough time to admit I’m in it for the long haul. I’ll be here until they shut the servers down and drag me out kicking and screaming

#I went ad free for the year #I left blaze on though #because why would I ever turn that off #tumblr should allow malicious blazing #hellsite sweet hellsite #vex talking #tumblr

Bruce: now, for the last part of this meeting

Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Damian, Cass, and Duke: ?

Bruce: -turns around to bring up a power point presentation, the title card of which just reads 'Please Be Normal About Tim'-

Bruce: -turns back around-

Bruce: ...Tim why are you the only one still here

Tim: I just like power point presentations

#Jason keeps beating up Tim and then chasing him around trying to get him to join him #including AFTER Tim kicked him directly in the balls #he had a whole murder board about Tim when he was stalking him #Damian also keeps trying to beat up/kill Tim and prove he is the 'superior Robin'#Dick is generally pretty chill but he and Tim have a history of getting into shenanigans together #also Dick has a tendency to go a bit feral when Tim is involved and hurt #Stephanie once said Tim had a 'bad case of the Stephs' and while I love that for her absolutely not #Cass neither wants to kill Tim nor be romantically entangled with him #which is good!#but like Dick she also goes along with his plans without as many follow up questions as she should probably have #and by 'as many' I mean 'any'#she pretended to stab him through the chest to throw off a bunch of assassins #and I'm pretty sure she didn't question a single second of it #Tim just turned to her like 'I have a fake sword and I need you to pretend to kill me with it'#Cass just gave a thumbs up with no follow-up questions #Duke #my beloved #I know he and Tim don't interact much in canon #but in my heart I feel he would not be normal about Tim either #like regular ass Tim Drake figuring out Batman's secret identity and deciding to just become Robin because Gotham and Batman need it?#attaching rockets to a skateboard to get around?#coming up with insane and convoluted plans and consistencies that don't make sense to anyone else?#plans and contingencies that WORK?#Duke would see Tim as aspirational and go along with whatever insane bullshit nonsense he comes up with just to see what happens #he would 100% be down for whatever Tim has planned and would absolutely feed into it #he just wants to crank that little chaos gremlin up to eleven and watch him go #Bruce is desperate to keep them from interacting in any capacity for longer than thirty seconds at a time because HE KNOWS #HE KNOWS what will happen if they ever team up #it's why he put them on separate shifts #for the record Bruce ALSO had to sit through this presentation

We all know that the reason why Bruce Wayne isn't religiously Jewish is because dc are cowards, but also because many of the community itself is cowards. I personally believe it comes from a lack of knowledge about what it even means to be religious because most of the community is Christian or culturally Christian. So as someone that would probably be considered not religious by Christians, but Religious by most other Jewish people, I think that Bruce Wayne fits in this section of being Jewish.

Bruce can't go to the Synagogue often because of the whole being Batman stuff, but he still goes on the high holidays when he can. He celebrates with the Kane family as well! And Kate would obviously understand if he couldn't come because she's Batwoman! Give me a Bruce Wayne says Yiddish curses. Give me a Batman that has a bunch of Chanukkiot that are just so pretty because they are rich and definitely have a ton. Give me Batfamily shabbat dinners when they are able to. Rest days on Saturday for the Jewish members when they are more members in the Batfam to make it work (and it being a mitzvah when he does have to be Batman on Shabbat because its a mitzvah to save a life). Give me Mezuzot on every entryway. Give me a Bruce Wayne who inherited his mother's seder plates and actually uses them. Give me a Bruce Wayne that says stuff like kein ayin hara before giving good news! Give me a confused Dick Grayson when Bruce insults him (its actually a compliment, but to ward against the evil eye you will say the opposite of what you mean) and then Bruce having to explain after he realizes that Dick has no idea why he just insulted him. Give me a Batman that follows Jewish values (more than he canonically does)

Just because someone ins't actively involved within a wider community of that Religion doesn't mean they aren't Religious! Or at least don't give me a culturally Jewish Bruce Wayne that doesn't do any of this. Thats just you stripping away all the Jewish parts of him.

Bruce Wayne is Jewish and you can't just ignore that

#The kane family is there from when he is a kid to when hes an adult #meaning they definitely had a hand in raising him #I think its very odd that alfred the bodyguard turned butler of the waynes to have been the one to canonically raise him #while his entire maternal side of the family is still alive and kicking #like guys please come on #and also I think it would be very weird that alfred didn't bring Bruce to his maternal family #that would just be out of character imo #but yeah I think its very small minded to think of being religious as a belief in god and going to church #because that is a very very small portion about what it means to be religious to me #also! I based off the Kane's name origin it would be very likely for the Kanes to be Irish Jews #oh and one more thing #Just because I consider him to be just Jewish doesn't mean that its impossible for him to be dual faith #We have no idea what religion Thomas was #we could say christian #but I like to say thats from Alfred and any christian stuff that the Batfam celebrate is not because of Bruce #but is actually from Alfred and any of the kids that are Christian/culturally Christian #nevermind have another thought on top of this mess #why would Richard Grayson ever be considered christian #press x to doubt #while I know nothing about Romani religious practices and I know that is on purpose from their community which I respect #the community does know that Dick is Romani #meaning he would follow their religious practices #which I think he would follow extra hard after the death of his parents #and there is also the argument that he could be jewish if he was raised in a household that is Jewish and holds Jewish values #but yeah the Wayne manor has only one confirmed christian in it and its Alfred #batman #batfam #bruce wayne #kane family #kate kane

one of the many reasons I love Rachel's POV is that she just does not get Marco. Not at all. Jake and Tobias know hes putting up a front more often than not, and Cassie especially sees right through him, but Rachel buys the mask. She even thinks, originally, that Marco might be against fighting just to annoy them. I'm not even sure that Rachel ever really understands how deep Marco goes down the rabbit hole.

Like, I don't think she's doing anything that Marco doesn't want her to-- She isn't being mean or anything. I don't think it's because she dislikes him, or because they're constantly fighting. Marco is doing this on purpose. He puts on a mask with everyone, but Rachel, especially, and she buys it hook, line, and sinker.

And it really makes you think, like-- How long did Marco and Rachel know each other before his mom died? Is she basing her assumptions off a boy that doesn't exist anymore? Is that why Marco keeps up the front with her, or is it because she's the most popular, the prettiest, and the strongest? Did Marco have a crush on Rachel before his entire world fell apart? Is that why he's desperate for her to never realize it did?

#shut up az #animorphs #marco/rachel was my first ever animorphs ship and now as an adult I'm like wow it would go so poorly #because Rachel just does not get Marco at ALL #and I think Marco definitely adored Rachel at the beginning of the series and that's part of why he couldn't stand Tobias #but I also think he gave up pretty soon after realizing how similar they were #like it does not escape me that Marco and Rachel both open books using their morphs to attack people #like. they are so. fucking similar sometimes #and I think Marco seeing that he and Rachel are similar only in their most ill advised moments would turn him off a little #and now I'm like wow it probably doesn't help that Rachel has never once given any indication that she realizes he's changed #like he will always be the same old annoying shitty best friend of his cousin and on one hand he appreciates the nostalgia of that #but that's not who he is anymore. you can't love something that doesn't exist. so Marco just. Lets go.#(falls in love with an alien instead)

I don’t think the “mad at and separated from everyone because they lied to me (ie didn’t tell me the whole truth) so I’m storming off” plot device would work on me, rip to every character that’s been used on ever but I’m different

#I’d find out and I might be a little sad cause I feel left out at most #but generally I’m pretty sure my gut reaction would be oh you guys were trying to protect me/weren’t sure how to tell me this yet I get it #understandable moving on #that’s not the kind of lie/omission that feels like betrayal!#sometimes I wonder if it does to any actual person irl or if it’s just a convenient plot device for drama #weigh in if it’s real or not #I would be hurt about being lied to in other contexts #Like. Someone using me obviously. Lying so I do something to their advantage #Bite scratch hiss about that #But that’s not what most ‘you didn’t tell me everything so I’m so mad’ plot turns are about #Rip especially to that hallmark girl who found out the guy she liked had been reminding the guy she was dating of stuff she said #in front of them BOTH that she liked to help him because that was his little cousin and then got mad and broke it off #Girl he REMEMBERED STUFF YOU SAID and was helping his YOUNGER COUSIN WHO GOT HEARTBROKEN before either of you ever cared about each other #and whom you decided to date even though you knew there was a big discrepancy in his actions!#Why are you mad??#boys will be boys #<-cause this was spawned from Malia getting mad that they didn’t immediately tell her about Peter since they were trying to figure out how

Still thinking about this bc being a shitty teacher isn't the same as being evil and yet- *gets shot*

#Porter discourse bc good god if theres ever a character that I could write at length about their character assassination its him #Porter becoming comically evil for a bit I can handle but then the grooming being tacked on is like horrific in a way thats like.. okay #but why did that have to happen??#and I don't think brennan meant anything malicious by it y'know? it was more like 'hey! Emily would LOVE this & she'll still play fig!'#And yes the seeds were planted in sophomore year with the nightmare kings crown and Ragh #But we also saw how he was when working with other students and how much he cared for Ragh zelda and Fig like he was proud of his students #HE BECAME PROUD OF GORGUG #So to find out he was basically just grooming Kip is like- and then the seriousness of the grooming isnt addressed #its not handled with the level of seriousness like when the table realizes Bobby Dawn groomed Sandra Lynn #It's played as a bit and it feels like are we eating our cake and then having it too by making him a bumbling idiot in the finale when #he was shown as clever enough to fly under the radar except to fig who in the meta emily kept playing up the porter is evil bit bc no one #else believed it and it was funny to play up fig being extra sus of him #but then its also like okay we dont care about the grooming now also because it was kipperlily who they were beefing with- its just?#I wish the grooming never because part of it and I feel like thats the thing that bothers me about junior year and Porter specifically #AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #Porter cliffbreaker #not main d20 tagging this bc i know I'll look fucking insane but I do think porter as the big bad couldve been cleaner and it made me lose #a little faith in the storytelling of FH and made me not want a senior year #it kinda turned me off from d20 like i just have been less interested and the last 3 episodes are a massive reason why #and now theres too much shit left hanging so its like.. we kinda need a senior year but its like.. ehh.

does anyone know if we have to roll that rock up the hill again tomorrow

#so to recap what we all know if we're following the Angela is Sickly series #i can't eat tree nuts. i can't eat trail mix that has come in contact with tree nuts. i am uneasy about eating anything that has been in a #facility with tree nuts because i have had allergic reactions just as severe from cross-contamination as i have had from straight up #eating walnuts. the one exception to this rule is pistachios because i have yet to have an issue with them #i don't eat pecans anymore because i had a reaction. almonds are on thin ice i don't really eat them #also. also i dislike nuts. it's not a hard rule but i don't like them at all. i am not a picky eater they just happen to be one of the #foods i dislike they're a bad texture and they taste like wood. except for the beautiful pistachio #and then we have the alpha gal allergy so. it's not Nearly as severe in terms of life-threatening anaphylaptic response but #the trade-off is a week-long world ending stomachache. which is extremely not fun and also could at any point randomly turn into #a more severe allergy so i. sort of don't fuck with it. there are exceptions that i regret every time because ouch. no red meat.#similarly. we respond not too great to dairy. can't have a lot. can't be fixed by lactaid pills or anything because it's not lactose #intolerance it's an allergy. so. no tree nuts except pistachios. no red meat. light dairy. i am twenty pounds underweight.#my doctor told me to keep red meat in my diet if i couldn't maintain my weight and uh. Bad News i can't maintain weight but also it's a #massive trigger so what the fuck do i do here. to be allergic to some of the most caloric and fatty foods out there #tried to start up boosts and i will continue doing so but im getting stomachaches from them too. like the fuck do u do #im eating eggs and avocado and olive oil and peanut butter etc and im still losing weight. i don't ever have an appetite #gets to a point where im like Well we might end up in a fucking hospital because i keep losing weight and idk why #tests aren't showing anything other than alpha gal and minor inflammation we don't have a reason for #tomorrow i will fucking have egg and avocado and olive oil and butter and a boost and an antispasmodic and water and #i will get a stomachache again and be tired again. Onward!#i would feel so much better if i could gain weight and i can't. what do. im so tired all the time <3 15.8bmi <3

i continue to find ii3 baffling. why did they make it (this isn't to hate on the season, i'm genuinely curious)

#melonposting #this isn't meant to be ii neg by the way. i'm just confused about AE's writing choices #i don't remember if they ever said explicitly? at the very least i haven't heard an official answer #i don't think it was initially for any plot reason. my theory is that it's for the same reason bfb and tpot split #the episodes were taking really long to make and they wanted to go back to regular lighthearted uploads. which is understandable #so while ii2 was cooking they could still post new ii episodes with reasonable frequency #but that also raises so many questions #the biggest: why the hell is mephone here #seriously i know people like mephone but i'm sure having a different host wouldn't turn literally everyone off #and mephone hosting this show causes so many strange easily avoidable problems #like the screwy timeline. mephone ditches his show for what he experiences to be years and yet ii2 is continuing like normal #only a day has passed for them. why? maybe they'll try to explain it #in any event if ii3 had a different host this wouldn't even be an issue #but then they made ii3 really plot heavy for mephone which then ended up screwing itself over #the season justified itself as being mephone trying to escape from his problems #and he goes through character development to address all of his baggage and how much of a jerk he can be #that suddenly makes what seems to have been meant to be a lighthearted offshoot season into an imperative piece of his character (bizarre)#which would inevitably make his return to ii2 really weird cuz that would mean he had his redemption arc basically off-screen #but then they didn't even do that????? in the new episode mephone is still his old bastard self. nothing like late ii3 mephone #which means that they're effectively retconning ii3's plot out of existence. as it is ii 15 barely acknowledged anything specific from ii3 #but this in particular is especially absurd. ii2 can continue like normal only because they're acting like ii3 never happened #which is just insane to me. why even give mephone character development in ii3 to begin with???????#why does ii3 even exist????????????????????? his character development is literally the in-universe justification for the season #i'm so confused #i'm just glad ii2 can proceed like normal :thumbsup: but these are seriously some puzzling writing decisions

TUMBLR WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.

COMMUNITIES TAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOWER BAR???!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

#tumblr updates #tumblr #IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF APPS CHANGING SHIT AROUND THAT WAS GOOD #maybe my emotions are elevated bc outside stressors and I’m high or smth #but FISHEKXHIWJXIWJDIWJDJEJDNEJ CHRIST #it’s filling me with boiling rage. Istfg it’s like ptsd or shit (not really ik)#just like #Instagram turning into a fucking shithole when it adding the shopping tab and moved the ‘likes’ button #like URGHHHHHHHH #enshittification #tumblr is its own trap because what other social media never ever shows follower count(or other public stats #that fuck u over mentally #etc etc.#idk it’s just like. am I gonna have to create a faux-tumblr app that would be so hard to market in this era of lonely spin-off apps #where can I engage in fandoms this way.#there’s so much fandom history and internet history in general on tumblr. it’s a shame to turn this app into the same garbage that people #barely stand on other apps. that I can’t fucking stand which is why I LEFT those other apps #mypost #ik there’s that web tumblr extension that lets u alter hella tumblr stuff #but I hold so much anger towards the idea that an app could force me to access it through hella 3rd-party modifications

Thinking about current continuity Vanessa and just getting pissed off again

Like one, LET HER REST oh my god dc you ruin her FUCKING life like an asshole only to bring her back as a villain after she finally got out oh my god-

But also like its just so bad. This is a whole other woman with her name like why are we doing this. Like first you kill her mom (JULIA NOOO) and erase her YEARS of history growing up around diana (the thing that actually made her villain turn [if you can call it that w the level of manipulation involved] interesting and fucking heartbreaking) for some shitty "oh I saved you we were friends" run of the mill whatever. Then to use that and say Nessie had a crush on her OWN SISTER (Diana, so like informally adopted, but still 😡) now????

And then they took away her curls and made her a redhead but not even the realistic kind. DC SHE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THAT

It just makes me so mad. Freaking guys. They could have used another name like oh my god. She's not even the first silver swan why the fuck would they do that if they're not going to explore her history w diana (which she no longer has!!!!) or how intensely fucked up everything got for her. What is even the fucking point of this then other to drag a main character of the ww supporting cast through the mud again for genuinely no reason. They could have easily had her be Valerie Beaudry (sorry Val) instead or just MADE UP ANOTHER NAME because it's obvious that no one actually cared about her as a character they just wanted the wondy villain back so like !!!!!!!!!! Why even bother

#her entire treatment just makes me so angry #like in general it makes me mad and sad and a million other emotions #but the fucking robinson version just makes me enraged. beyond pissed off. because theres no fucking reason for it its bullshit and its the #one in current continuity right now. so i get to see tom king ww panels put on my dash that have this stupid fake vanessa and its so #infuriating. like thats NOT her!!!!!!! oh my freaking god people #her hair is BROWN and CURLY and shes dianas BABY SISTER who she lived with for YEARS like she was a MAJOR supporting ww character for the #longest time. like shes got about 100 appearances (just checked) preboot this is not a minor character #so freaking frustrating #blah #ALSO. FUCKING ALSO. THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE CURRENT VANESSA TURNED EVIL BC SHE REALIZED SHE WASNT SPECIAL TO DIANA BS. FUCK YOU THERE LIKE #OH MY GODDDDD “isnt special to diana” im going to fucking kill you. what do you mean she doesnt care about her specially. thats her FUCKING #BABY SISTER. not to sound like vanessa herself a la silver swan but those clowns at dc would never say that shit about cassie oh my god #not special my FUCKING ass. nessie and her mom were literally the first people invited to themyscira in post coie continuity #like yes diana trevor and steve trevor and even baby julia kapetelis washing ashore but like the kapetelises (and you could even say just #nessie bc again her mom had been there before) were the FIRST ones invited there like you cannot say diana didnt care about them more than #the average joe dc i fucking despise you.#this girl has been through so much why is dc incapable of throwing her a bone ever. nessie i am so sorry they did that to you sweetie.#gonna tag it bc her tag deserves the traffic #vanessa kapatelis #just makes me so mad #doing all that to the normal teen girl character in a wonder woman comic is so fucked actually like dc comics i should not have to explain #that to you. what message do you think you are sending here be serious

going back through some of this fandom's history has made me realise, we really see people as black and white good or bad don't we?

#like i hope we're getting better (i think we are)#but it has me wondering. how much fandom treatment of 5sos partners was based off one specific incident #but also shaped how people viewed that one specific incident?#i'm glad we want our faves to be well and happy. i just think we also are not immune to misogyny sometimes #guess who just watched the lie to me mv for the first time ever #it's important that people get to tell their stories don't get me wrong. and there was a lot of authenticity in this #however if our instinct is to just totally not ever believe women we also have to ask ourselves why #at least people were really glad for sierra at the time? but look how that went. she was human and people turned on her too #these things can both be true. sometimes women to genuinely bad things. AND we hold women to impossible standards #and then dehumanise them the minute we do something wrong #which is bound to happen at some point!#also. someone can still be a good person and not make good decisions 100% of the time. think about that before you disregard #something someone says being like 'my fave would never they must be lying' why is lying our go-to? yes they might be lying but #this shouldn't be our assumption. just because people are reluctant to admit our faves might not be Completely Perfect #fwiw i think rn we're doing a lot better in terms of that though. in terms of destigmatising mental illness and addiction too #it's just. reality is often just complicated? no one's all good or all bad. yes people should be free to tell the story of their experience #but in order to be ethical consumers of their story we need to realise that just because it highlights one aspect of someone #it doesn't mean that's all there is to them. and it doesn't mean that's all there is to the story either (even though it's not false!)#like how we're been discussing in swiftie spaces. storytelling is GOING TO BE BIASED. when we acknowledge that we won't be as reactive

The lil corner of the Good Omens fandom that I generally see is getting more and more into publicly declaring that That Theory I Dislike Is Bad And People Who Ascribe To It Should Feel Bad, and I don't know if it's really new, or if I was just lucky enough to generally be missed with that shit the last four years.

Different people's brains work differently, which means they will notice things, form interpretations, maybe come to extremely firm conclusions, all different from each others'. Different from mine, different from yours.

I get that some people think that they have the brain which produces the Objectively Superior theories (and/or which can easily determine which other people's theories are the Objectively Inferior ones). I just really missed the memo where Your Interpretation Is Not My Interpretation (And That's Okay) was dragged out back and fucking shot.

Anyway this blog is an "I may not agree with your theory but you may trust that I won't publicly heap scorn upon the very idea of having it" zone if anyone was wondering.

#negativity #discourse type stuff #apparently i can't turn off replies to a specific post? but i am Not Interested in discussing why that kind of behavior is okay actually #also Not Interested in hearing about how i'm overreacting #unless you are prepared to prove that you have personally catalogued everything that I have read/seen/etc on this topic #this is not about any one specific post just about the bizarrely judgemental zeitgeist #also not about any of the posts where someone is like 'huh i know people like this theory but i'm not sure here let me tell you why'#i've always seen posts like those and those are great because YTINMTATO remains intact #JUST. yeah. Not Interested in discussing this at all really #but i've seen some posts that made me feel bad for being so unthinking as to ever find merit in this or that theory #and i'm probably not the only one feeling bad?#so you can think x character is fake or y character is secretly running everything from behind the curtain or z object was drugged #(or none of these things at all!!)#and i 100% promise i am not scoffing at the foolishness of falling for such a completely unsupported idea #i PROMISE i am not going to be mean #because if i wanted to *reduce* the amount of kindness in the world then i wouldn't have created the fucking Soft Zone now would I

anyway i need to hang out with my brother again he is the one person who i am pretty sure knows literally everything about me so he's the only person i trust that i can absolutely not disappoint. nothing i can do could be worse than the sum of everything i've been doing to that poor man (and him to me) the past 19 years

#especially now that im back into literally the only interest we actually share on a deep enough level to enjoy it together LOL #i mean we were also both into hannibal but thats just not an enjoyable show to watch together its too much effort #but wow that time we read das boot slash fanfic on the bus together that was awesome #and the time we wrote fanfic together lol LITERALLY WHY DID WE STOP #he has only gotten cooler and more comfortable with his gayness since then we need to write fanfic again ‼️#anyway i feel sorry for every person in my life but i dont think anyone ill ever know could ever have as close a relationship to me as him #were platonic soulmates lol but like not in the spiritual sense bc its pretty obvious that its not some supernatural bond #its juuuust shared trauma haha and the fact that our trauma is so complex and layered that only we will ever truly understand each other #there has been a really rough patch where we practically did not talk for 4... 5? whole years im serious. maybe on the weekends sometimes #while we were stewing in our own shit. but now were inseperable i think it actually pisses off the rest of our family because every time #theres some event where we meet again (we live like 5 hours apart) we only hang around for like an hour before we get in his car #and drive somewhere and hang out there for the rest of the day and night and only return at like 3am drunk #in a sense i guess were catching up on all the missed time #to be honest we both had some horrible shit going on in our heads me with the transgenderism and toxic relationship #him with his anger issues and (what he calls) psychopathy. like ill say this much he was not a good person as a child he was a devil #he was quite literally what some describe as born evil like u know those satans spawns kids that cut off babys fingers and dissect rabbits #all that yk. and i was his first and most frequent victim due to availability lol and my parents did not know any of it and if they did #they ignored it. so yeah u can imagine the relationship was a little strained and for a long time i lived in fear of him #also due to all the death threats and attempts on my life HAHA its kinda funny because i can say all this all detached now #but i think to anyone else this sounds mad as hell. like im not talking roughhousing or being mad at each other #he was always scarily calm and hyperintelligent he was actually diagnosed with some form of like super high intelligence that #makes kids capable of being really manipulative and thats what he used at every turn. everything was always calculated that was scary #if he was nice to me i would question if he was trying to lure me somewhere to hurt me yk?#anyway. sometimes those old thoughts come back when were hanging out alone but mostly i know hes changed and worked on himself #sorry oversharing oh wow

#saw a reply to a post that was like #websites only have apps to get more ad revenue out of you #and like. what i had to say about this wasn't the point of the original post so I'm making my own #but Reddit's mobile site used to be perfectly good and engaging #now it's changed layouts and stuff and it looks like the app. which we despise and hate and find unintuitive and user-unfriendly #which means what in practice? we're not using the app we hate it. we're just not on Reddit if we're not on the computer (old Reddit beloved #but it's not losing them ad revenue because we use an ad blocker so they probably don't give a shit either way #:/#saltposting #actually ETA I think a lot of things we hate about the Internet under late stage capitalism is. why does everything have to change layouts #all the time #for no good reason #like if it works there's no need to fix it #but nooo endless growth blah blah blah maximise user engagement blah blah blah money etc #how about retain the users you already have by remaining what they liked about you in the first place. ever think about stability?#there is a reason why we have autoupdates turned off on our phone and there's like 5 apps that are FORBIDDEN to update #Tumblr because we don't like the overhauls to the notes section (the ones where they're coloured differently based on read/unread #instead of on people you follow/don't follow)#Discord because the new layout looks like absolute shit and having DMs separate from servers would be hell for our processing #and ability to respond to both #our red filter app because it's gonna stop filtering wallpaper to comply with Android regulations and that's a no from us #are the main three but I think there might be others I'm not thinking of #anyway. yeah #I wish for predictable apps that don't suddenly throw new layouts at you every time you've finally gotten used to the last change #I don't wanna be kept on my toes real life does enough of that.

@katkastrofa: *writes a single throwaway line in one chapter of Lost and Found that is never referenced again*

Me, completely randomly and with no prompting: Alright, bet–

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original characters #as if I don’t have enough of those already #I really don’t know what possessed me here. I mean. sometimes my mind did drift to this mention of Zaheer’s sisters #because broken bonds is my absolute favourite LaF chapter. but I ever really thought of them that much since Kat never brought them up agai #and then about 24h ago I randomly remembered them again and was like. hey. p’li and ghazan’s sisters play a huge role in our stories #and ming-hua is an only child. so what of zaheer’s sisters? what are they like? do they ever cross his mind? are they aware of his crimes?#and in the afternoon I went digging through my art supplies bc I felt like painting and found my old 2020-2022 sketchbook with 2 empty page #so I thought. why not. it’s been a while since I’ve done traditional art. so I pulled up a reference of rich EK outfits from the artbooks #and got to work. drew this up in about half an hour? traditional sketching is a lot faster than digital for some reason #then took a picture and cleaned up and coloured in procreate. and I’m really happy with the end result #this was hella fun to do as well so.. win-win?#alright enough backstory rambling. on to the characters themselves #I looked up Zaheer’s name and apparently that particular spelling is urdu in origin. so I went off that #the article I found was written edited and fact checked by three pakistani women so I think it’s about as trustworthy as these things go #summiya means ‘a woman of proper name’ and aiza means ‘respected high place in society’. which I thought were fitting for noble girls #for outfits and hairstyles. like I said. I turned to the avatar artbooks. those things are life savers. I just played around with colours #looks wise I colour picked from zaheer and then shifted around a little so they look similar enough yet not like clones of each other #but they’re also teenagers here so they wouldn’t resemble book 3 Zaheer much anyway #kat never mentioned ages but since their mother was looking for matches I assumed they were older than zaheer #he ran off at 11 or 12 iirc. so I decided they would have been 16 and 14 respectively #though in their community matches are probably made much earlier than actual marrying age. still.#if it was such a pressing matter that their mother was ‘preoccupied’ with it. then they were probably teenagers right #that’s what I’m gonna go for anyway since currently I have no information to disprove any of this #oh yeah Kat btw if you did have images of Zaheer’s sisters in mind before this then you don’t have to replace them. I just filled a blank #we’ve never talked about them so I assume there’s nothing. feel free to correct me. maybe someday we’ll discuss their personalities/lives #all I have is that they probably weren’t too close with zaheer. and their lives now are all about husbands kids and status. but we’ll see #hope you like them anyways <3
