I have mistakenly scrolled through the fob tag (usually I am not this disappointed tbh) and I must be missing half the conversation because there are so many posts defending the tswift collab but like... without knowing what potential problems people actually have about it
"the fob fanbase is scared of the tswift fanbase" what "they've been friends for years" who is saying this stuff
#fall out boy#im...#is????/#hUH#that. that's not?#i#anyway#I saw this tiktok today about why white people esp white women are so attached to tsw*ft and excusing her actions so easily#and yeah there's a lot of obvious answers to that#but this really summed it up well:#white women see themselves in taylor. she does not do a lot with her platform (privilege) but still “stands with” oppressed groups#but when she's got a shitty boyfriend who makes racist jokes? nothing#and that's exactly what white women do. they brush shoulders with racists every day and sometimes even laugh at those racist jokes#but if they (white women fans) hold taylor accountable#they then have to hold *themselves* accountable#whether they realize it or not yknow#and I'm guilty of this too!!!!! 10000%. I'm white and have to assess my willingness to excuse sketchy shit (and expose it /to myself/ and-#realize that it's more than just “sketchy shit”)#but yeah this is all over the place and something something cognitive dissonance#btw you should not be taking anti-racism lessons from me lmao go find some good bandom blogs that talk about this more in depth#I reblog from some^ I don't know urls

Are you more of FNAF or Jojo? (Ofc you will then say, I can be both-)
Why pick when they are so similar/hj
#ask reply#I GOT asked this recently on insta as well!#to sum it up I do like both!#JJBA and FNAF are probably the two series I’ve been most obsessed with?#where I literally draw it everyday#I adore both these series sm#and for very different reasons so it’s hard to truly compare them#though FNAF may be more near and dear to my heart#just cause I have nostalgia bias with it#JJBA is a newer thing but obviously it really hit right for me#anyway I’m spitting here#I could of kept going with comparisons but insta stories only have sm room

Snufkin and Snorkmaiden hanging out :]
#I used a... kiddy aquarelle set to paint this can you tell I donno how to use those? Oh and did the accents with markers!#I HAVE 3 BLOCKS OF AQUARELLE PAPER AND I LIKE- NEVER USE THAT PAINT- why did I buy them. Maybe so I can START! haha. No#No I didn't but well maybe I should use it eitherway#The process of making this can be simply summed up with “fuck around and find out”#Tbh I might actually hang it up on my wall I think it turned out really cute! Look at 'em! Sitting!!!

I think more people should go back and either replay or rewatch (.... or forbid, play or watch them for the first time) aa1, even if it's literally only case 1
fanon phoenix is so completely disconnected from the actual character that at this point they basically share a wacky hairstyle and a name to me. In the actual games, Phoenix is almost always depicted as the "straight man", even in comparison to Edgeworth: he's somber, dry, sarcastic, and often very tired of shenanigans and bullshit. He's a very ordinary "everyman", and that's like 80% of his appeal to me, tbh. It's not to say that he can't be silly or nonserious, but we have a unique look at the inside of his head and all the things he COULD say, but most likely does not.
He goes on to become a literal world renowned defense attorney, and so many people want to boil him down to a silly stupid little rabbit of a guy when he's anything but
#yes this is about the polls#I guess this particularly irks me because before I replayed the games for the first time in a decade+#I'd fallen for a bit of fanon phoenix as well#and it really surprised me to revisit ace attorney as a fully grown adult (instead of being barely an adult)#and to see how somber and reserved phoenix really is#it's not even strictly a trilogy thing either he acts the same in aa4#if anything his “worst” qualities are amplified and he very frequently goes mask off about being pessimistic and balefully sarcastic#I guess to sum it up#phoenix is an interesting character and it makes me sad to see him reduced to a gag bit that's basically used to prop up other characters#obviously I fully support people playing with interpretations#what is fandom if not to play pretend with our dollies#but I feel like they're really missing out by not paying attention to what actually IS there

early seasons spn homophobia is actually so crazy because they literally do not look gay. hamfisted gay jokes when the characters look straight as hell. "you look the type" they literally don't. is the thing
#spn#there just truly was something in the waters of 2005-2008 in general. everybody just ITCHING to make gay jokes#even if there was really no actual foundational set up for it.#i'm rewatching himym right now which is. well it's many things but it IS interesting. to see#and there are SO many gay jokes that like. don't even make sense???? they're so forced.#like why are y'all so desperate to mention gayness even when it doesn't even suit the situation to make that joke.....#like you didn't need to do all that. you didn't need to even mention it. but you went out of your way to make a little gay joke#wish i could write some sort of thesis on the flirtation society had with gayness in 2005-2008 like. omg i don't even KNOW how to sum it up#obsession with gayness but still have to put on the front of it being Not Desirable but still can't help but mention it at every opportunit#like kids pulling on each other's hair and calling each other names in an effort to get attention#but that was mainstream society + culture @ the concept of being gay

The warm and languorous pics are so cute!
There’s something about seeing Machete so unguarded, he’s just happy and in the moment, that’s so sweet. You can only guess he’s looking over at Vasco and there’s so much warmth and joy in his look ❤️

I JUST REALIZED THIS WAS HIM WATCHING ROUND 5????????? HUH WHAT
cut because this got a lot longer but uh click for ivan analysis!!
no bcs this post is a year old so i just skimmed by and was like “oh man yeah he must be watching till” NUH UH NO SIR THAT WAS WATCHING MIZI “youll be nothing more than atrauma to her” BUT SHES STILL FIGHTING AND KICKING AND WANTING TO LIVE. did he think mizi was going to be completely immobile going into 5. did he think it was a death sentence because her half was gone. this really brings to light his understanding of love.. erghrug
and based on the classical literature thing (if thats canon? i think it is) if its anything like literature of today i wouldnt rule out something like aristophanes's speech from plato's symposium. quick run down, he discussed how humans used to be 2 halves of a whole. but zeus split everyone apart out of fear that their devotion would overshadow worship and subservience to the gods. OH HMM SOUND FAMILIAR SO FAR? OH BOY CANT IMAGINE HOW MIZISUA CONNECTS TO THIS AND HOW THEY WANTED TO TIE BUT NOO THEYRE IN THE SYSTEM THEY WILL BE SPLIT APART BY THE GODS. THE ALIENS.
and backtracking to anact here, ivan learns emotions by observing them. judging them. he doesn't consider his own valid, he just calls them "shallow emotions." he doesnt fully understand the odd hypocrisies and devotion and weirdness of the both gossamer but incredibly strong notion of love itself. (its 3 im so sorry i dont think thats understandable at all argh)
combining classic lit and his own method of learning ivan could've seen the relationship mizi and sua had believed they were soulmates. 2 halves of a whole. therefore, knowing sua would sacrifice herself, he believed the destruction of one side would ruin the whole. like a parasite. but strangely enough, mizi doesn't break. not really. she still has a will. sua wasn't "nothing but a trauma."
going by this logic its clear how ivan wouldn't consider his own sacrifice hypocrisy. first off till is not ivan's "other half" or soulmate. tills made that painfully clear. second, if mizi is able to live without her other half even if she was just ripped of her naivety and innocence, then why can't till handle losing 1 person who (ivan assumes) he doesn't care about. he tends to rebel and he has an incredibly strong fighting spirit.
come round 6 ivan did NOT account for tills vulnerable side. "oh till never really interacted with mizi, it was a crush that went nowhere." no. he's not her "other half" but hes destroyed. "i didn't know it would be like this" oh man yeah no you did not
"youll be fine bruh" NO HE WILL NOT BE BUT I SEE YOU. I CAN SEE HOW YOU THOUGHT THAT. 0 CONNECTION NO TETHER REGARDLESS OF SOULMATE STATUS
#sorry this is so long im insane#plips rambles#plips theories#noso this is a restatement of what was said when the comic originally came out im just really tired#i looked for the translation and like right under that was analysis on how till didnt love him so hew wouldnt care and yeah that sums it up#pretyt well#someone needs to stop me from yapping my natural inclination is to inject this one specific myth into everything#alnst#alien stage#alnst ivan#alien stage ivan#alnst till#alien stage till#alnst ivantill#ivantill#alien stage ivantill

"But in the end, I... still think... it's so unfair," Yin Yu sobbed. "If I wasn't destined to be perfect, I at least wanted to be perfectly kind. But... I couldn't even manage that. It's really... so unfair. And to tell you the truth, I can't get over it, even now. I can't swallow the fact that I'm dying for this little bonehead, Yizhen. I can't even let go and die without resentment or regrets. What the heck..." "Better than most people huh?" Yin Yu gave a small, arduous chuckle. Then he sighed, and the sound of his last regret passed along with his soul as he mumbled, "But I wanted to be a god..."
#yin yu#quan yizhen#quanyin#tgcf#tgcf spoilers#heaven official's blessing#heaven official's blessing spoilers#just finished volume seven and! wow! not okay over this!#the tragedy around yin yu specifically just! aboslutely! kills me!!!!#''if i wasn't destined to be perfect i at least wanted to be perfectly kind'' absolutely DESTROYED me and i think it 100% sums up what#yin yu is struggling with and why he can't move on from... well anything. why he can't actually reconnect with quan yizhen and why their#fallout was inevitable#but god i want him to have a chance to move past that#i want him to hear his words and realise what's been tormenting him so much and i want him to heal and be happy#i would really like him to NOT BE A CORPSE THAT QUAN YIZHEN IS CARRYING AROUND BECAUSE I NEED TO STOP READING EVERY TIME ITS MENTIONED#i'm fine i'm okay it's all okay#now that i've gotten this out of my system i'm gonna go read v8#my art

LOST: Season One
#lost#abc lost#lost one cap per ep#this was a project i was gonna do anyways but the timing worked out that i could post the first one on the 20th anniversary!#this is one cap per ep every season. from left to right. and this is important: its not a cap that sums up each ep#its a cap that REPRESENTS each ep. the way i choose them varies every episode#sometimes its an utterly iconic moment. sometimes it reps the theme of the ep. or it hits with a theme of the character themselves#sometimes the cap i use won't even involve the character whose centric episode it is. trust me. this makes sense#anyways i'll give a good example: for outlaws i was so tempted to use a shot of the judgemental soulful gaze of the boar#or perhaps sawyer in the rain after he shot that man#but! i used that shot of sawyer's dads legs as sawyer is hiding under the bed. i feel it worthy because this moment. this scene#is literally a core part of sawyer. it's a defining moment of his backstory. of his character. so yeah. makes sense yeah?#anyways some eps had Too Much going on (lord i could make one of these for exodus part 1 alone) and some not enough#or well they DID but like lacked in caps that Hit in the way im thinking. thank heavens charlie shot ethan cuz i was worried about that ep#i was like ''aw shit what am i gonna use'' and then an iconic lost moment happened kjhfdsjkhfd#anyways. there are 25 eps in season one. so im really glad that the last ep contains one of the moment iconic visuals/moments in all of los#oh i should add that these caps are unedited. i did not fuck with the colours or saturation in any way#i found 'em and i pieced them together. this is harder than it sounds. i browsed through all the screencaps of every ep of season one#and i will do so the remaining five seasons#some of these were super easy like i knew what cap i'd be using before i even started (eg. do no harm. the moth. in translation)#but some took some real Thinking. and some eps even had several caps that would have worked. this has all been quite interesting#also yeah. y'all already know damn well what cap i'm using for the very last episode

Worm Arc 18 thoughts:
Well that sure just happened
I'm fine
Noelle ate my daughter. But I'm fine. It's fine.
Her girlfriends are gonna save her!
I'm fiiiiine
Anyway, that's like, the end of the arc so there's a lot of other stuff that happens!
Taylor casually drops that she's mostly blind in conversation and Brian kinda freaks out. Understandably.
She got eye drops that she is supposed to be doing but never mentions doing them. I'm very disappointed in her. I'm also worried her eyes aren't going to ever get better.
I do love that the moment Dinah says she only has a 58% chance of going home and Taylor realizes it's because of her, she forces the situation by taking Dinah home right away. She is far from perfect, but she does have her moments.
RACHEL LET DINAH PET HER DOG!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! LOOK AT THE GROWTH!!
One of my favorite lines, when Taylor asks Dinah the chance of trouble before they go into the medical clinic "When there's trouble, it's you. Eighty percent of the time." Just, kinda embodies the spirit of Worm I think.
I'm still fine.
Taylor sure thinks about Rachel as Rachel a lot now, instead of mostly as Bitch. GAAAAAY.
I really want to know what's on those papers Dinah left for Taylor. Triumph saw them but didn't seem to react. One might have been a message for him, since Dinah would know he would see it. Something that will come into play later maybe.
I love Parian making a giant wiener dog for everyone to ride on. Like, it is a definite upgrade in transportation from "door with glass stuck in it dragged down the street" but it doesn't have much of a supervillain vibe to it.
Noelle just starts it off with grabbing possibly the strongest cape available in Brockton Bay. At a minimum, one of the most versatile to clone. No big deal. Not like even just normal Vista could become very dangerous if she wanted to be evil.
Freaking PRT all "this is a Class A instead of a Class S cause Eidolon is a big man baby and needs to punch something all on his own to prove he's strong". Sure are helping people Alexandria. Good job. What a hero.
I think Eidolon is Bargain Bin Scion. Scion Lite. Blue Light Special Scion. A shitty version of Scion created by Cauldron basically.
Clockblocker is so fucking fascinated with Skitter it's amazing.
Tattletale made Eidolon maaaaaad! I love her.
I'm perfectly fine.
The scene with meeting the Chicago Wards, oh god I loved it so much! Skitter tells Bitch to clear the plywood out of a window and she just instantly fucking kicks it open, then a giant swarm comes in and swirls around everyone and covers Skitter, making her hair move and trailing bugs behind her like a gown, and then starts speaking with the swarm. And Tattletale waits until the perfect moment before asking the Wards their names and powers, very clearly backing Skitter up as her 2nd. Just such a "ok I was playing nice but now I need you to know who you are working with!" power move. Fucking amazing. Also it was Skitter being assisted by Bitch and Tattletale! GAAAAAAAAAAAY!! LESBIAN SUPERVILLAIN POWER POLYCULE!
I think Grace has neat powers but could have been more creative with her name. I fucking love Tecton though, assume tinker. Dude has got to love fights like this, where he is allowed to do all the property damage he wants. He'd make a good villain.
The other two are kinda neat too but they didn't last very long.
Every time they are going anywhere Bitch specifically offers Skitter a ride. GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
I love seeing the range of power adjustments the clone Vistas get. Some are pretty basic - can do stuff from farther away or not be slowed down if a lot of people are around - but then we get ones like Paper Mario Vista and Imagine Dragons Vista, with much more wild powers.
Everyone stand back while Eidolon goes and shows us all how strong he is! God.
I'm 100% FINE.
Side effect of being blinded probably, but it is neat how good Taylor is getting at listening, and sometimes even seeing, through her bugs! Just listening in on Eidolon and Noelle from blocks away.
Imp almost gets crushed to death by Eidolon's gravity power cause she ignores warnings from Skitter to run. Sounds about right.
Noelle making rat clones and bug clones (that Skitter can't control) is fun.
Fucking projectile vomit attack suddenly! Did Noelle absorb the girl from the Exorcist??
Texas Wards kinda getting their ass kicked. (Also what the hell is going on in Texas that the whole state apparently just has the one Wards team, vs most places have a Ward team per city?)
Fight is going kinda poorly. Travelers show up to help! And then Trickster betrays everyone to feed my daughter to Noelle! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm fine.
The Most Powerful Man in the World Interlude thoughts:
Scion just really is empty in there isn't he?
Not a person, just a construct of the entities in 3 dimensional space. Sphere moving through Flatland and being seen as a circle style. No mind, just does what this guy tells him.
Duke is a very good dog.
Kevin talking about Scion 100% sounds like someone talking about a lover that has been lots of trouble for them but that they just can't quite.
Lisette is having a weird day.
I really wonder how the next Endbringer attack is going to go now that Scion has been told to kill them. Wonder if it'll be different.
Crusader Interlude thoughts:
Shockingly, it turns out that the Nazi is an asshole. News at 11.
Night and Fog were basically constructed by this Gesellschaft group. Seems like a branch of Cauldron pretending to be Nazis for more control over things. Or maybe not directly a branch of Cauldron, but they get powers from Cauldron. Maybe not related, but they make weapons, which is very much what Cauldron can do, and we haven't seen anyone else yet reliably make powers with control over the outcome.
This poor TA is having a bad day.
Taylor triggered 2 or more times in that locker. I was 100% positive of that the second the TA said "You can’t really distinguish a single trigger event from having two in quick succession." I probably should have realized this earlier.
Really curious where Theo and Aster's stories are going. I could see one or both of them being a major part of the end of the world (based on stuff from Trickster's visions on stuff from Noelle's interlude I'm thinking a 3rd or 4th generation cape might play a part in it), but I could also see them being red herrings.
Theo is upset but realistically getting abandoned and left with the PRT is the best option that could have happened to him.
Jessica Yamada Interlude thoughts:
This poor woman
Faultline Interlude thoughts:
OH MY GOD Gregor and Shamrock are super fucking cute together!!!!
Faultline is amazing and very organized and detail oriented and an assertive leader who wears a dress shirt with slacks and cowboy boots and threatens to get a bullwhip and I would really like her to tell me what to do k thx.
Not positive I would trust the minor precog abilities of Shamrock to make me Simurgh proof, but it's better than nothing.
The quarantine zone of the city of Madison is doing great!
Wasn't expecting to get to see Matroyshka again, that's neat! She should probably stop eating people but otherwise she's fun.
Faultline just not being able to stand Tattletale is wonderful. I hope they bother each other for years to come.
I like this crew, so I was not happy that they got really fucked up by Contessa. But I also want to like Contessa (as much as I can like someone who works for Cauldron) and this did make her seem really badass.
Noelle Interlude thoughts:
I'm fine.
Regent keeping up the jokes under pressure, good for him.
Finally got some good descriptions of Noelle's powers doing stuff which was very good.
I'm fine.
Also fun to see various clones and their powers.
AND THE VISION! OH MY GOD THE VISION! So much good info from that. It helped me get a much better idea of things and confirmed a lot of things I already thought. (Like Cauldron has basically hijacked an entity, more or less. Not the details on how though.)
I'm fine.
The fact that Noelle can let the god dandruff take control is interesting. Like her connection never got fully closed compared to other people. Which is what I assumed only taking half a vial did. Really curious to see if we ever get more info on Oliver.
Her Earth Bet self is like, 15 years younger. But still has the same name. Kinda wild.
I'm fine.
Also her Earth Bet dad gave her the name Echidna, which like, I get it's the mother of monsters or whatever, but I can only think of the cute adorable little creature!
I'm fine.
I obviously wish Eidolon had been able to defeat Noelle and save my daughter but him having a big sad about it not being fair that he can't get stronger is pretty funny too. I do not like the guy.
I'm fine.
I'm sure Tattletale has a plan and everything will work out.
I'm fine.
I'm 100% absolutely fine.
#Worm#Worm Web Serial#Parahumans#Cairavende reads Worm#I'm fine#Traveler in a Vault#Noelle#I'm Fine#Taylor Hebert#Lisa Wilbourn#Rachel Lindt#I'm FINE#Wolfspider#Chatterbug#Smugbug#i'm fine#Ok for real I had more thoughts about the Jessica Yamada interlude but I think I summed it up pretty well#I'mFine#I said before I really hoped I'd get more Circus but this isn't how I wanted it#I also had been begging for a Noelle interlude since like arc 8 and this was FINE.

Sometimes you glimpse a character who barely shows up but has such tantalizing implications and possibility of depth that it haunts you forever
#kushina uzumaki#the version of her that lives in my head is one of my fave characters of all time#tragically she's 'just' narutos mom#what was uzushio about#she wanted to be hokage! she was loud and vibrant! she had the ninetails and not even as well contained! she collabed a better seal for it!!#she became an orphan. last of a clan with special powers and skills. thats like the coolest thing in this universe isnt it??#why didnt she get a ninja fit until way later?? like all her official art is the house dress#kishimoto come back i just have a few questions-#and while i kinda hate that the sum of her character ends up as 'mom/angry woman' (yk bc only other woman is 'quiet/demure woman')#i do think her wanting to have a kid makes sense. its not played that way but she may have believed she was the last of her clan/people#i dont think its really played that way but#thats why im insane about the version of her thats in my head#sighs#kushina#never forget this is a kushina stan blog first and a naruto blog second

They get it
#had to repost this comment under caits video about austin and ally because they sum up the way their relationship is written very well#one of the reasons i didn't like the finale break up#is no matter if austin and ally are romantically invovled or not they'll always be together#they moved past that typical romantic duality by 1x03#that emotional distance doesn't apply to them so it didn't make a lot of sense#i always refer to Austin and Ally's relationship as a secret third thing#a relationship that exists beyond labels#in alot of ways you don't see a romantic storyline in the show you just see two people get closer and closer#they're written to never really leave the friendship dynamic - its the same with mulder and scully#the fact that they're a full on couple in season 4 is great#but that was never the end all ultimate goal of the show#raura#ross x laura#ross lynch#laura marano#austin and ally#ally dawson#austin moon#ally x austin#auslly#austin x ally#disney channel#disney#tv show#disney show

i personally think eddie's decision to take kim on a date makes so much sense for his character. this is a heavily traumatized man who has not properly processed the grief of losing his wife and mother of his child. this is a man who has been seeking to recreate the fantasy family he'd built with christopher and shannon in his mind - even though shannon herself was ready to divorce him before she died. this is a man who wants nothing but a second chance, an opportunity to try again, to make it work, make it better.
and then he sees kim, and his good conscience is clouded by potential. she looks exactly like shannon. she laughs like shannon. she's quick-witted, charismatic, magnetic. she's absolutely gorgeous. she feels so easy and natural to talk to. she isn't shannon, she just feels like shannon - eddie doesn't even know her at all. but to him, she might as well be a carbon copy. she is someone that is so easy for him to project all of his wants and desires onto. she is someone who could be just like shannon, maybe, at least for now. eddie wants to find out for himself.
this is a decision eddie is making purely out of his own wishes, and he is not thinking about it clearly; he is being straight-up delusional. this is one of the first decisions we've ever really seen eddie make that is so blatantly self-serving and selfish, even more so than leaving for the army. this isn't a self-defense mechanism, this is a self-sabotage. some sort of fucked-up penance, or maybe a willing step into purgatory.
for maybe the first time in his life, eddie isn't thinking about anyone else. he esepcially isn't thinking about christopher - imagine what chris would think if he found out his dad's dating a dead ringer for his dead mom (let alone that it's on top of dating marisol)? even if eddie's somehow justifying it in his mind - maybe chris would be happy about it too - he knows this is a terrible choice and he's doing it anyway.
he is desperate to recreate what he thinks he could've had with shannon, he is very much hurting and still in deep mourning, and he is still not being honest with himself about what he truly wants or needs to be happy with himself. he's also realizing that whatever he wants, it probably isn't with marisol. but instead of breaking up with her, he's making the choice to complicate things for himself even further. it feels like some sort of subconscious self-flagellation. very ex-catholic of him.
it's so interesting that eddie is doing this without considering the true repercussions. he is blinded by the fact that he has a chance to date 'shannon' again and isn't thinking about literally anything else. it's going to cause suuuch a mess and i am so excited to watch how everything unfolds. i think eddie needs a bit of a reckoning to be able to get fully real with himself, and i really hope this is the first domino that tips to knock over his entire carefully-constructed illusions, the streak of sun that burns through the clouds in his mind so he can find some meaningful clarity.
#i actually have soooo many thoughts right now and i feel like#this doesn't even really sum them up well at all lmao#but i just woke up and i needed to spew#eddie diaz#911 spoilers#911 abc#mine#also!! i think it's important for eddie to make 'selfish' choices#even though this is not a responsibly selfish choice#i hope it leads him to making choices that are *healthily* self-serving
