juvie buddies

#alek art #td duncan #td mal #total drama #total drama all stars #(if i want to get technical)#2024 #duncan is around 15 here... mal is around 16 #ive thought really hard about them these past few days . in my brain they actually knew each other and canon is different #duncan and mike got along really well. in juvie mal refused to speak to anyone about anything and would fight as many people as he could .#he wanted to stay in there and far away from home . they get roomed together and duncan is the first person who mal can talk to . he isnt #scared of him . he relates to him a lot . like -> wow we both act out for attention and people think we are terrible because of it #duncan being a mentally ill teenager seeing mal an also very mentally ill teenager thought 'i can fix him' . mike and duncan speak too here #i cant really see anyone else fronting besides those two . their brain was on lockdown and mike wanted out so bad . i see manitoba as a #gatekeeper so hed handle some sessions with their psych. i want to say they (duncan and mike) get moved to a psyche ward just because #i have more knowledge on being in one and how it goes ... but yeah i like duncan mal a lot . this art isnt ship whatsoever though 🙏 i dont #see them as a couple their dynamic is just better as friends imo #but anyways in all stars they obviously recognize each other but have an unspoken agreement not to say anything abt it #duncan is a known criminal but mike isnt like that . mike hadnt even told zoey about that part of his life . so duncan wanted to respect his #privacy -> then mal starts hurting people and he has to step in . mal isnt a good person by any means but i dont think he was that bad in #juvie . so duncan had to come to terms that his friend wasnt the same person he was years ago (in all stars duncan is ~18 and i think mike #is almost 20... so it had been a while since they last talked)#them getting each other like no other and being in pain because they couldnt really speak . i see them having a conversation still in moon #madness abt their past and history . god i just think abt them and their wasted potential wdym mike and duncan were in juvie together #duncan was in for trespassing or destruction of private property or something really dumb . mal fought his parent(s) and got in for assault #mal was already in when duncan was placed . and duncan was let out early on good behavior + his parents (dad) mostly did it to teach him a #lesson . wrong of them or otherwise . so mal was just kinda stuck there until they realized he was actually not right in the head . think he #knew abt their DID but was only diagnosed in juvie and had to go from there . tbh he shouldve been tried as an adult but td logic . doesnt #matter dw guys . mike gets the 'was put on random meds that made him go braindead' treatment bc that was me . post mental hospital abilify #had me messed up

Everyday i wake up and think abouthow sad i am that lestat the musical is objectively a horrible musical because i really do think interview with the vampire would probably make the best musical ever

#TO ME #interview with the vampire #iwtv #the vampire lestat #lestat the musical #okay but like litterally the structure of the story would be perfect for a musical #perfect two act structure #the interview framing device would work SO WELL #a play is also like the only place i think you can actually do book accurate armand #because its theater so you can just have short women and youngish theater twinks play him #claudia works WAY easier in a play for pretty much the same reason of suspension of disbelief being different #like in a play all that works so much easier #or like anne rice style oppulance and sensuality would work amazingly in a broadway style production #literally you cant tell me it doesnt also have the exact same audience as the longest running show on broadway phantom of the opera #JUST THINK ABOUT THE THEATER ACTORS PLAYING VAMPIRES PLAYING THEATER ACTORS PLAYING VAMPIRES #it would specifically be my favorite thing ever #i just think theater is actually the only place you can truly make annes vision come to life #god how i long for lestat de lioncourt to sing showtunes to me

Honestly, even without Art’s attempts at manipulation and sabotage, I don’t think Patrick and Tashi’s relationship would’ve survived anyway. Before they started dating, Patrick was criticizing her career plans and Tashi was never interested in entertaining his massive ego at her expense. Passion and chemistry are important to relationships, but if that’s the only foundation, it’s gonna crumble quickly.

The only difference between Patrick/Tashi vs Art/Tashi is that the relationship would’ve ending with a bang instead of a whimper.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #patrick and tashi need art between them #his willingness to submit even when done so with manipulative intentions does let tashi and patrick to indulge in their desire for control #the movie makes a point of saying that patrick is constantly shooting himself in the foot because he’s unwilling to humble himself #art let patrick get away with a LOT but tashi does and would not #but even tho patrick does get to the point where he can humble himself it’s still necessary for patrick to go off script and stir shit up #the way the film ends makes it abundantly clear that all three of them need each other to function #and that each person brings something different to the trio that each person needs #so i don’t buy that patrick and tashi could’ve worked things out on their own #tashi so clearly likes art’s dependence and loyalty to her #while also getting a lot from patrick’s passion and pushback #would also like to say that i personally love when art’s a mean little bitch #not only cause it’s fun but because it really seems born out of a fear of being left alone/behind #spreading my ‘art’s a greedy pillow princess that actually needs TWO tops to handle him’ agenda #and wrt the injury…sorry no one’s actually at fault for that #not only could no one could ever engineer something like that #it could’ve happened at any time because that’s life #in the film it’s meant to underscore the danger of disharmony between all three of them #and snap the tenuous thread holding all three of them together #and placing blame kind of misses the overall point the film is going for wrt the relationship between all three #hey is it just me or has this film broken my brain

Nas'hrah I believe somewhere at the museum mentions The Girl and he says something along the lines of "--that kid, whatever her name was,--" which implies that she Did have a name, which makes sense (pretty much everyone but Enki would give her a name and he very explicitly was not the one who led her to ending A), but it's nice to have a canon confirmation she did have a name

If NAS'HRAH vaguely remembers her having a name I damn bet everyone was calling her by it

#funger bpt #funger2bpt #Fear and hunger #Fear and hunger termina #Nas'hrah #The Girl fear and hunger #I like drawing while watching diff things and one of the things I love drawing to is let's plays of games I'm a fan of #I watched multiple f&h1 playthroughs at this point and I'm a huge fan of when the lets players bother naming the girl just for the fun of i #There were one or two of these that I've seen iirc #One name was Penelope and I don't remember the other one if I'm not misremembering it to begin with #The Girl near the end of her life not having as bad of a life is something I think about a lot #F&h dungeons are a bad place but interacting with like... Cahara or D'arce or Rag couldn't have been described as #''Not tainted with the slightest bit of hope'' or however way Enki phrased it #That's basically like getting a caring stepmom or stepdad or both depending on however way their teams worked #They were all tired and traumatized and fungry but again #That must be so much different from her life prior to being released from the cage #I specifically remember that ''you're doing great'' dialogue in the party talk

#mortal kombat #mortal kombat mythologies #sub zero #bi han #scorpion #hanzo hasashi #you don't have an idea how much i think about sub zero and scorpion backstories #how similar yet different those are #bi han who never had a choice as he was chosen by lin kuei when he was a kid and his own father forced him into assassin life #most likely killing bi han's mother and the youngest sister to ensure lin kuei clan will get what it wanted #and hanzo who was told by his father to not joining the assassin clan and have a normal (safe) life #but he did so for the quick money (the desire to afford his wife and son the finest in life)#even though we don't know if it was even anything “harumi” wanted in the first place and not just a honest quiet life with beloved husband #free from having a blood on his hands and death around #it is the no choice vs choice dichtomy those two had i miss the most #but also god damn at the twist in perception of sub zero and scorpion that changed drastically #especially now with mk1 kicking out both of those in favor of kuai liang being the “better” scorpion AND better son/brother at the same tim #i miss you my original tragedy (bi han) and walking disaster (hanzo)

Another way to look at it is that we've all been living a nightmare for the past 4 years and just fooled to believe otherwise for the longest time. Nothing has changed, and nothing will unless the collective finally decides we've had enough. However, most people aren't ready nor willing to believe that. Not to mention our money has been going towards the slaughtering of people in other countries for years and years, without a cent given back to us. Broken country, but the system is working as intended to. For the complex, NOT for the people. Many of us really don't know how lucky we are to have the problems we do. You'll wake up tomorrow, just as you did today, no threat of imminent life-ending danger looming, while citizens of other nations die, funded by OUR TAX MONEY. We all need to assess our privileges, even at the smallest level.

Thank you for the privilege check and perspective. It is outrageous that regardless of who won, our taxes would continue to fund wars and genocide. The Democratic party brought this on themselves by continuing to support genocide, refusing to listen to the people, and moving the party further right with every election, but of course the blame will be put on third party voters (despite the math not mathing). The USA is a fucking joke and I’m ashamed to be part of it.

#I’m just feeling disheartened on a selfish personal level at how fucked up of a country we are living in #scared for my child and the children around the world #I look at my kid and imagine how fucking helpless parents in palestine must feel knowing they can’t protect them #it’s the worst feeling in the world knowing that you can only protect them to a point #and that the world at large is a dangerous place with terrible people in charge #and we are just tiny insignificant people who don’t stand a fucking chance #I’m just so scared for my kid to go out into this world with two moms and have her sweet pure heart crushed by cruelty #I’m grateful that she is physically safe and I am fortunate that I don’t have to worry about her getting blown up today #but jfc it’s still awful to think about what her life will be like #it’s still awful to be called a groomer simply for being a lesbian with a kid #not as bad as death ofc but I think I’m still allowed to feel a certain type of way #at the end of the day none of this would be different if a D or R was in office #hate and violence will always exist because humanity sucks ass

( waking up one morning after 18 months of hiatus and finally getting the spark™ to freshen up ur rp blog )

#( war is oveeeer )#( time passes but my love for rp is like a little gremlin that randomly shows up and beats me with its lil bat )#( I'm still stuggling with art block for my other creative outlets for months now but I want to warm up my writing fingers )#FOR ALL ( ooc. )#FOR ALL ( tbd. )#( pretty sure I've been going through the worst burn out of my life and im just now seeing the end of the tunnel )#( had to face and address basically everything in my life ever so my brain just decided to go into low battery mode for awhile )#( it's odd cause not much about my life is significantly different from when I left -unfortunately-#but I have also developed and changed so much as a person. ppl around me say that and it's so reassuring to hear <3 )#( also lmao apparently I was pretty Vitamin D deficient esp in Canadian winters and APPARENTLY have a genetic calcium deficiency so UHHHHH #I love being medically neglected and gaslit into believing I just had anxiety and depression with no physical contributors <33 #that's being taken care of now tho. but yeah ugh that was something to process too.)#That aside I've been doing well!! I'm in such a different place now it's kind of wild. Always a work in progress but im happy <3 #Have some goals I'd like to meet for the end of the year so I'm hoping to close out these two years on a good note!

2024 reads / storygraph

Walking In Two Worlds & The Everlasting Road

YA sff set in the near future where an opensource augmented reality is commonly used like social media, and there’s also a completely virtual fantasy game version

follows an Anishinaabe girl who who’s the top player in the VR game, and is constantly fighting to keep her place against the misogynist neo-nazi group in second place

as well as her real life, dealing with being a shy and self-conscious teen growing up on the Rez, and her brother having cancer

and a Uyghur boy who’s moved to her community from China after finding acceptance in an online community (even when he doesn’t agree with their more extreme views) - but when he gets to know Bugz, he has to decide who truly deserves his loyalty

great mix of sff and culture, the future while also very real community traumas of the past (and present)

#walking in two worlds #the everlasting road #wab kinew #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #This has some REALLY interesting and important concepts!#I just think it could have used some more development… Obvs this is YA and I’m an adult I know I’m not quite the audience!#There’s a lot of depth in the setup of the characters but I feel like it skips a lot of the progression #I think there could have been space for more development in a lot of places to make the story feel more dimensional #- but also has so many plot threads that maybe that would have bulked it out too much #It does also jump around quite a bit between the different parts but I think that makes sense with how juggling with irl / online life.#she’s got a lot of internalised fatphobia at the start (and the love interest going “I don’t think you’re fat!!” when people call her fat..#then in book 2 suddenly she’s okay about it - again I wish there was some progression!#her brothers cancer journey is. basically all offscreen lol mostly as set up for plot in book 2. so it doesn't have the emotional impact it #could have..#I liked the way it integrates her culture into the game in a really cool way (though I would have liked more detail there)#also having auto language translators but they regularly don't translate quite right / still run into issues - realistic!#the parallels drawn between his being taken from his family and put in a state education school and Indigenous residential schools #the way that a future world will never be as separate from the past as ur average sff future often portrays #but yeah anyway lots of good ideas execution not so much for me..

dear internet stop throwing pictures of beautifully toasted bagels slathered in cream cheese at me i don't have a toaster i don't have room in my teeny kitchenette for a toaster a toaster is a luxury here in japan as are bagels as is cream cheese

bagel places here that ask me "do you want that heated up" make me want to cry tears of joy even though all they mean is they're gonna stick the bagel in the microwave for ten seconds so it's slightly warm-ish but not enough to crisp up or melt the cream cheese a little

#food #closest bagel place to me has two options blueberry bagel or white choco chip #its fortunate that i love blueberry but anyway that shows the general mindset towards bagels here they're sweet snacks more or less #hard to find everything bagel or onion bagel etc #i havent been home since before covid but my primary reason for wanting to is i neeeed a nyc bagel #and real mac n cheese and real grilled cheese #and pasta that isnt spaghetti with something something cream sauce #oh and i really miss american bbq which means it sucks that i'll be going home in winter bahahaha #never expected to stay here as long as i have but otoh food cravings aside what real motivation do i have to live in the us #obvs my parents and i do want to see them and wish we could live close #but as for life in the us itself... living here is so far a lot easier in a multitude of ways #the biggest downside is my being a foreigner. gotta reapply for that visa every few years #and even though i speak japanese every day the business-style japanese of workplaces is totally different so im limited in terms of jobs #aaaand when im home in the us i have the opposite problem... i miss japan and japanese food instead xP #why cant i teleport that'd solve everything #fizz's life #why are people reblogging this??? X'D

id like to thank ninjago episode snake jaguar for everything but nothing all at the same time

#alek art #lego ninjago #ninjago #sensei wu #ninjago wu #zane julien #previous master of ice mention #2024 #(going to do this everytime) FOR CONTEXT : dr juliens 1st death and garms banishment took place in a similar time frame #so wu wouldve been young when he met zane for the first time #also i am very aware zane is ooc here ! prior to getting his powers and them actually settling in his body and mind.. he was a bit of a #jackass in my eyes. we see bits and pieces of zane snark in the series itself BUT like. dr julien described zane as acting different post #getting his powers. and we know elemental powers can mess with how someone behaves. kai being a hot head... so yeah #really wise whimsical old man stuck in the body of a 19 year old #VERSUS #egocentric grown ass man with no friends who lives in the woods and is a robot #they become friends. zane calls wu 'kid' every sentence #i forgot that wu doesnt visit zane often in canon. uhhh basically in my version bc avg zane fan thing to change canon: wu goes to dr julien #house and sees zane. he knew ice had 'gifted' zane his powers and how that could really fuck up a person. he shows up everyday for a week o #two and him and zane talk while zane swims or cuts wood or whatever. wu says their house is in the way of his walking path as an excuse #eventually wu stops showing up and dr julien passes and life goes on as we see them in canon #does rhat make any sense at all ? probably not i have a horrific headache #uhh at the time of writing this we are on s7 (on rewatch) so if anything changes ill lyk . lolsies #ask me about them please

brother where is the charles appreciation

#so dark out here #umm dead boy detectives review here we go! first two episodes were definitely the worst of the series. both are kinda weirdly paced and #the exposition is done poorly in places. overall from episode 3 onwards it gets much much better with pacing and show dont tell #do not understand for the life of me why they made crystal palace american #kassius nelson (<- crystals actress) was very good in places and kinda ehhh in others and im 90% the issue for most of the latter moments #was just that her american accent is not great. sorry they did that to you queen #dialogue was a bit dodge sometimes as well #stuff i liked now! the plot felt quite solid and i really enjoyed the monster of the week approach i think thats the perfect way to #do a dbd adaptation. was a bit annoyed they immediately went to america but port townsend was an interesting setting and all the #supernatural elements/characters fit in nicely #major props cos i feel like the show mostly pulled off the emotionally charged moments without getting corny and the dialogue was generally #good in those moments #particularly charles/crystals heart to heart in ep. 3 and like the entirety of episode 7 (<- ep 7 was brilliant)#overall very fun watch and i feel that the more irritating typical YA show garb was at least a bit offset by them being willing to get #quite dark in places #bit sad people are mostly posting about edwin becos charles was my favourite. has been entertaining watching americans scramble around #the cultural differences in the show #shaking my inbox like a maraca. if anyone wants to talk at me abt the show i will love you forever #.log

If I had to describe both [in my comics], I would say Hell is like working for a huge corporation that treats you like a number, but your department has a really rowdy party culture to deal with the stress and you are all friends outside of work

While Heaven is a rich high society social network of governors and heiresses and billionaire philanthropists who will pay PLENTY to settle a disagreement in order to keep their names out of the papers, and are quite gracious with doing favors simply so that they can remind you later on that they were so generous, so won't you please consider doing this one small thing in return? thank you~!
