I still think orange is the new black is one of the best pieces of lesbian/bisexual media by far, no matter what discourse or controversy exists around it (which I’m ignorant of anyway). in terms of depictions of lesbians who feel like real women you would actually meet I think it’s basically unparalleled. not to say older, campier, or more subtextual media isn’t very relevant to lesbian culture, but in terms of just showing loads of different kinds of gay women in very frank terms I think it’ll always be a really special show. regardless of if we always love every single plotline or character etc, no one did it for gay women quite like that show imo and they literally didn’t even have to

So, the time loop will immediately leave the narrative once we get inside the building.

I have to say Evil Wolverine REALLY is inefficient with his time magic. If one area is frozen in time but another area is in a constantly repeating timeloop for arbitrary reasons with no other obstacles to keep people from accessing it?

Like why BOTHER Evil Wolverine? 

What was the timeloop even for if you could also just freeze time if you wanted? 

The excess of this man!

Though if anything it is another signifier of the suffering he is happy and willing to put people through for literally NO REASON as long as he gets what he wants eventually. These people lived out the same fraction of a day WHO KNOWS how many times, living a cursed existence that wasn't really living, for... no apparent reason! And yet he was thrilled when he saw Lava Lamp do something he percieved as being the same level of ruthlessness that he applies to every other living organism in existence, as if anyone else has any level of choice at all in the matter.

But I DO love Lava Lamp with his hood up! I don’t think we ever saw this in Syaoran's original outfit! And Hoods + Desert is a nice visual callback to Acid Tokyo, which is exactly when the Lava Lamp/Syaoran plotpoint kicked off in the first place, so it’s a nice little note to tie it all together again here at the end. 

Also that last side panel on the left there? Where we see Lava Lamp’s hand, but the shadow it casts is being distorted by the angle of the building? GREAT imagery. They didn’t NEED to do that, but it’s a fantastic way to bring back all the distorted shadow imagery that haunted Syaoran from the very beginning of the manga - an imagery that in itself was hinting at Lava Lamp, his presence in the plot, and how Syaoran was created as an imperfect and twisted version of who Lava Lamp originally was. And NOW it’s a reminder that Syaoran (who WAS imperfect and out of balance, haunting the plot like Lava Lamp did) is still lurking ahead somewhere in the plotline, and we don’t know how that will resolve just yet. 

Bringing it all back together as subtly as possible!

how do people who gif every single movie they watch throughout a year manage to actually do that??

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

[bloodbending]

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bootlickers, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
