"my child is fine" ma'am your child prioritises memorising every single full moon that happened in 1975 over their schoolwork

These fucking tropes that I hate

Based on my last post

[km3tt0]

I hate them so much for this

[nyxofdemons]

okay so the main criticism i've been seeing against episode 8 is that beelzebub (among other things) is "too nice" to be the sin of gluttony, because she's an attentive hostess, because she expresses worry over blitz's excess drinking, etc., and i wanna talk about it.

the thing is, i feel like this complaint is rooted in the most basic, somewhat cliche idea of the sin of gluttony, and a somewhat boring approach to bee's character in general. the idea is that, as the sin of gluttony, bee should be encouraging over-indulgence, excess, and the self-destructive aspects of party culture and drinking.

but she's the queen bee. she clearly explains that she can feel the "energy" of everyone at her party, and i think that's very important to analyzing exactly what gluttony means to her. instead of indulging in food and alcohol and drugs and being selfish (as gluttony is generally expected to be about), bee feeds on the ENERGY of the demons around her. and in order to get the best energy she can, she needs to be making sure everyone is actually having FUN and having a good time. gluttony, in this sense, is about EXTRAVAGANCE, having the best quality of everything, rather than just everything in general.

i also think this is why she was so put-off by blitz's actions. when he chugs the entire barrel of alcohol and then is absolutely wasted beyond all reason for the rest of the party, he's NOT actually engaging in her sin. he's not being gluttonous; he's not drinking to have a good time or to indulge or to have fun - he's drowning himself in alcohol because he's trying to forget and ignore all his problems, which is a sin much more akin to pride. his energy feels bad to bee because he's not having fun, he's deeply hurt and trying to distract himself by being self-destructive, which is NOT what her sin is about.

(also, remember, this is supposed to be part TWO of the finale. meaning, this episode (and the introduction of bee's character) directly goes hand-in-hand with the introduction of asmodeus, who's entire club IS about indulgence and depravity and everything you'd expect from the sin of lust. bee and the gluttony party are meant to be a direct foil to the energy of ozzie's.)

Yeah we know TF one is amazing but I wanna talk about how it just GETS Optimus.

Everything we see pre T-cog is fantastic, it's constantly showing how much he cares about his friends, to the point where he'd run into a collapsing mine and carry someone out after being commanded to leave for his own safety.

Then we get his big speach scenes later on and it's just Oughghghg THAT'S THE GUY.

He can do the big standing in front of a crowd speach and convince an army to charge into battle, and then sit down and have a quiet, genuine heart to heart with his old mining team.

Then we actually get to see him fight and it's the coolest thing you've ever fucking seen.

I love how they integrate his vehicle mode and classic arsenal into his scenes, it's all the cool shit of bayverse without ever going into war crime gore like everything past rotf.

God I'm praying this movie does well. I need people to understand why he's my goat, I'll always be said that most people think of bayverse when you mention Optimus.

Thinking about Darry, man.

Thinking about him standing in the doorway, just making sure Pony and Soda are still *alive*. Still in the house. Still with him. Him overworking to not grieve. Him unable to look at a stupid cake the same again. Him hating his birthday. Him skipping meals because money's a little tight and his brothers need fed first. Him having to choose between medicine and food on the table because god, Soda's fever just keeps getting higher but both need to eat. About him just..standing in his parent's room. Looking at the empty furniture. At the ruffled sheets that have never changed. To the shelves still covered in photos and other things. Darry who always has his hands in his pockets during an argument because *god, if he hits pony again that'll be the end to everything. He couldn't deal with it.* Darry who stares a little too hard at bridges. Who spends a little too much time at the table, looking over bills. Darry who's just a little irresponsible because god he's still *just a kid*

Idk

Darry.

You know another thing I hate about Chloe's wasted potential? She had more connections to the Bee Miraculous than fucking Zoe ever did!

You guys know how the Bee Miraculous is meant to represent growth and hardwork, right? Well, that's exactly what Chloe was going through during Season 2! Yes, she fucked up a couple of times, but that was the point! Her arc in Season 2 was supposed to show that she can change, but with baby steps . Hell, it's not her fault no one told her that change takes time and it's hard to break old habits. Even Marinette said that it was gonna take baby steps to help her change.

But what change or growth does Zoe go through?

Zoe gets no development whatsoever! Her only "growth or change" is her saying "Hey family, fuck you! I ain't gonna bow down and kiss your asses no more! I'm a proud Pick Me girl, bitches!" UwU Okay, admittedly Zoe is far from a pick me. But still.

Basically, that's another main problem I had with her. Chloe actually shows that she is worthy of it despite her entitlement. She does want to change. She just doesn't know how. Zoe is just given the Miraculous because... nice girl.

re: sex, power, and hannigram (the bees in my head have struck again)

y'all know the quote, everything in the world is about sex, except sex – sex is about power? Will, someone who has been consistently denied agency and power in his life especially by Hannibal, and Hannibal, a man who has kept himself under such strict control around other people, despite desperately craving true connection to another person – sex would be a natural extension and exploration of these pre-existing dynamics. 

Will and Hannibal’s entire relationship is based on their emotional and intellectual connection as they play this cat and mouse game where the power dynamics are fluid and unstable! the mental arousal they provide one another is an integral part of their connection. and that’s what attracts and excites them! and you know what increased psychological arousal leads to (or at the very least, enhances)? physical arousal!! 

which brings me to my next point: we know that Will is mentally aroused by the prospect of both saving and taking lives (s/o to our boy Chilton, man was a rat, but he was right!) because doing bad things to bad people feels good. 

so when Will finally Becomes by killing the dragon with Hannibal and they start exploring how they kill together, of course bloodlust and regular old lust are going to start blurring. not because either of them are sexual sadists who get off on the act of murdering someone, but instead on the power they each hold over death, the thrill of being truly seen and accepted by the other. 

not to mention the fact that sex provides an outlet for some of their more destructive urges, as well as a way to rebuild trust and psychological safety, two things they haven’t really had much of?? which is not to say that i believe everything they’d do would be safe, sane, or consensual, but i do think they’d be providing each other with what they each authentically need to move forward with one another. 

basically, i'm trying to say Hannibal tried his own brand of therapy on Will and look where it got them. i think the next logical progression would be sex as therapy and therapy as sex.

I HATE BEING A BLITZWING FAN WHY IS ALMOST EVERY POST BLITZBEE HEAD IN HANDS

I just wanna look at him without seeing that little yellow freak (/aff) in the picture sighssss

[losver07]

ok so the way i see remus is every time he doesn't understand something, he reads about it all that he can. lycanthropy? you know he's gone over every single text imaginable on the topic. a spell he doesn't get? read read read and practice practice practice. but. but imagine him not understanding his sexuality and realising something in him is different. imagine him getting his hands on a sexology book in the seventies and reading all sorts of horrible things about himself and thinking they must be true because it's "science".

imagine being socially marginated for being a werewolf and when you finally think you have found your people, discovering that there's more reasons for them to think you are sick and not want to be with you.

imagine hiding secret after secret about your identity and not being able to express yourself freely around others, even though you have to hear their opinions. also, imagine knowing most of said opinions are wrong and disrespectful, but not being able to say so because you can't let people know who you really are by defending ideas that are seen as "bad" or "wrong". which they are not, by the way. but it's the seventies. and you have to hide yourself.

anyway :(

my ass is too tired to write or draw rn, but i still want to rant so

this is from a silly perspective with no ill-will, but i am genuinely surprised that people in some parts of the sonic fandom REALLY think that charmy has brainrot or is an ipad baby

do. do you think. that charmy has accessibility to any other tech device in his home that is not the shitty always-buffering tv in the chaotix’s cramped living room, and or the old telephone on vector’s office desk that’s only used for calling clients. that little guy has not seen anything on a screen that wasn’t cable tv dated kids shows; you KNOW vector isn’t paying for anything else that isn’t food, the phone bill, the water bill or the electricity bill—and that includes internet in the home. he ain’t paying for no phone or ipad, nuh uh, not while they can’t even afford basic necessities

the little bee definitely also prefers physical play over just watching something and sitting kinda still. there is SO much pep and energy in that small body, he needs to move and get it all out and fly around and move his arms while drawing—he probably wouldn’t like just watching something for long periods of time. he wanna moooooove.

istg if you said “skibidi” infront of charmy, he would probably get scared and think you were possessed before he’d call for espio or vector to beat the ghost out of you.

so. yeah. charmy is most definitely not an ipad brainrotted kid, not when the chaotix are quite literally struggling to afford food and /w also type of child the little bee is 👍

the world is yours, literally 💭🎀🧁

so if you've been on this side of tumblr or any girly self improvement etc. side of social media, there's a high chance you've discovered the statement "you are the creator of your own reality" or "the world is yours" or something along those lines at some point. it sounds so far fetched when you first hear it, without any thought going into its true meaning, but the reason this is used so much is because it is true.

we are our lives. you are the world around you. everything in our lives is intrinsically entwined in ways we can't explain and the biggest connection out of all of them is us and life. it sounds obvious and self explanatory, sure, but when you think of it on a deeper level and dig into the complexity of the notion, like most things, you'll find it holds a lot stronger of a stance in your life.

have you ever noticed how so many metaphors for your life and bettering yourself reference and relate to nature and the world? "treat urself like garbage and the flies will come”, “water your own garden before anyone else’s”, “the darker the night, the brighter the stars”, “needing good roots to grow", they all relate to the sun and the sky and the sea and the world and the ground we stand on. they all relate to earth.

have you ever noticed how when people free themselves from bad situations, their reality and their world around them seems to get better too? how it seems to shift along with them?

because we are our world. every building we've built, every concept we've invented, every life we've created and every life we've lost, everything on this earth down to the last blade of grass was once nothing, but once we began to discover and create and flourish and bloom (see, the analogy still stands even there), the world grew along with us, and still is every day.

in truth, the world is in no set way, shape or form. it is not a singular entity. that's why your life can be remade and reshaped so easily within the blink of an eye (but that's for another time) because the world you know is solely your reality. that's the reason everybody has a different perception of you just as you do them, the reason why we have separate interests, conflicting outlooks, the list goes on.

the more we grow, so does our world, and our reality. you've seen how many people have changed and grown and gotten happier and healthier and only kept on going when they finally began to step up and better themselves, how their world changed along with them. because us and the world are one and the same.

the most important thing i'd like you to ask yourself is how do you treat the world? how do you view the world? and how do you treat and view yourself? are there any particular differences? similarities? anything that stands out? what is the world to you?

all my love... 💬🎀🫶🏻💗
