Noah Sketch

My 2024 goal is i need to draw full body + coloured because i need to stop drawing face sketch 😀

[simbasomba]

Idk why I did this

It’s basically just Noah ruining Alejandro’s self-confidence

[a-tiny-sloth]

thinking about what nimona changes about her story when she tells it to ballister. he sees her as a little girl who can shapeshift so the story she tells him is about a little girl who gains the ability to shapeshift, even though that isn't her. she's nimona, always has been. and she's telling the story that way to mock him, because that's the way he wants her story to go. but it doesn't. she's nimona

Forever - Noah Kahan

crazy how noah managed to fit so much goodbye into Forever. like i very much understand it's the farewell to the album that put him on the map and to the person he used to be/is growing out of but ohh my god oh,.,.. my god,

[psyche-reads]

No don’t mind me, I’m just listening to “the Great Divide” by Noah Kahan and thinking about how Feng Xin and Mu Qing left Xie Lian when he needed them most and hated themselves for it for the next 800 years

[coralislandthinks]

AGREED

[cryptid-catnip]

so Noah's just doing drama content now, huh

Nick, Henry and Ethan are all infinitely better lefties than him and he's probably just projecting

He's right about the 3rd one though. Ant is a transmisogynistic worm

[anpiels]

so as per my last reblog i mentioned personal designs for these things and here they are please enjoy peering into my silly little mind <3

[tyrannuspitch]

the thing about "all trans guys name themselves the same" thing is that every time i see that joke it's a different list. there must be at least thirty different names where people act as if they're, like, top three names for trans guys. and it's always names that are popular with people naming babies in the last decade or so too. like... you haven't discovered anything unique about trans guys here. you've just discovered that the pool of socially acceptable masc names in modern english is smaller than the pool of socially acceptable fem names, and uh... anyone who's browsed a baby name site for an hour and reflected on their automatic responses could tell you that.

[i-wanna-show-you-off]

Who is this about. I know the twink. Is it Duncan B and Brick????? Cannot figure out the last one. Is it Cameron??

WHOS going to be depicted as a trans man more often!!!!!!!!! the guy who had an entire season where his plot line was struggling with identity, the guy who literally had a preferred name and was extremely uncomfortable with having his (traditionally female) """"""full name"""""" being revealed, the guy who also had an entire plotline for his entire run in a season being that he needed to "man up"

or one (1) twink

"Noah did nothing wrong"

He did something wrong. Actually, he did multiple things wrong. He shared propaganda and debunked lies to his million of followers. He helped to dehumanize Palestinians by spreading those lies to the point that his racist remarks were shared by the occupation that has been very vocal about their intent of destroying every piece of Palestinian life and culture. He supported Amy Schumer after Martin Luther King's daughter Bernice called her off for using her father to defend her racism and hatred towards Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. He sided with Ben Shapiro about endorsing the genocide of Palestinians, even if he's one of the biggest bigots and homophobes in USAmerica.

And this is only a tiny percentage of the things he has done wrong in the last months. The Pinkwashing and Islamophobic for Noah brigade can try to infantilize him all they want, deflect all they want and ignore the context surrounding his like to that awful post and the stickers he helped to spread but it doesn't change the facts and the facts say that he's racist, islamophobe, homonationalist, zionist and a privileged white cis man.

[txttletale]

For both cis and trans people, family, peers, and mass media provide models for appropriate gendered behaviour, beginning in early childhood and extending through the life course. Learning through enactive experience occurs as individuals engage in gendered behaviour, observe how others respond, and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Early-life punishment for gender nonconformity is often regarded as a characteristically trans experience. In reality, however, not only do cis people share similar enacted experiences, but successful discouragement from gender transgression constitutes much of the cisgender phenomenon.

congrats bby

[will80sbyers]

OH??? I’m sorry but

What do you mean half of the cast is queer??? I mean, I only know Noah

Sorry if I look stupid🥹

Noah is gay, Maya is queer, Amybeth(Vickie) is bi, Barb's actress, Suzie, Chrissy, Tommy the bully that was friends with steve in s1 is not cis and uses he/they and maybe queer(not sure on this), Fred's actor is queer too (pan?)... I don't remember now their specific identities I should check each one but I'm pretty sure they are not straight!! And I for sure forgot someone but all the others have spoken up in support multiple times and posted multiple pride pictures ❤️ also many of the crew / doubles because I spy on them a little and I saw them post pride stuff lol

I think there's a really potentially dark kind of lonely desperation in the way Mirage kidnaps Noah

Like, Noah immediately starts to panic and yell to be let go, and Mirage's response to this is to lock the doors and go faster

It's fucking terrifying from Noah's point of view, he's confused and is in the process of committing a crime--

--He's not just worried about his own safety, he's suddenly been thrown into a high speed, high profile car chase with a multi-vehicle car pursuit and he's going to be unable to help his family if he ends up in prison

And these are city cops in 1994 and Noah is an adult cis male POC, he is absolutely beyond fucked if any of the cops manage to identify him even if they don't outright catch him

And then Mirage creates a copy of him that is sitting in the driver's seat and taunting the fucking cops, fuck fuck fuck

His fear and panic is overwhelming, he's being trapped and driven somewhere and he can't figure out by who or what or for what purpose, and the cops are after him, and if he's busted then what happens to his mother? What happens to his brother?

It's incredible he stays even somewhat calm.

Meanwhile Mirage is fully having a great time.

He finally found a human like Bumblebee did, the human actually found him! How convenient-- Some may even say it's destiny. Even if the human was trying to steal him. Rude!!!

Now he has someone he can play with, though. Optimus might not yell at him too much since it's not really his fault this human tried to steal him.

Stealing the human instead sounds fun to him, actually. Turnabout is fair play, and all that.

And I do believe that on some level, surely Mirage understands this is not great to do, really.

But Mirage also seems really terribly lonely amongst his team; It doesn't feel like he fits in with them quite as well, and we know all the bots miss Cybertron.

Mirage and Bee seem particularly socially oriented, and Mirage seems to be quite possibly even more outgoing than Bumblebee is, based on both of their portrayals in this and the prior film.

So Mirage might have pushed aside his better judgement in the name of companionship and having fun for once, perhaps for the first time in a very long time, fuck it, we ride.

As someone who can't go out and do things because I'm disabled and COVID will take me out, I truly understand the difficulty of forced isolation into perpetuity.

So I can really feel for Mirage -- He just hit his breaking point, and could not resist the joy of treating the highway like the Speedia 500 racetrack, of really letting his rubber burn and having a potential friend along for the ride.

Plus, he got Noah away from the cops, and that's good, right? It must be! I mean he got the attention of even more cops, but they're probably dead now. That was a pretty sturdy road barrier, after all.

But the fear Noah must have felt in that moment is genuinely upsetting.

His brother's life was on the line here, not his own, as far as he's concerned.

And of course, Mirage would not have known that right away, fair enough.

But even when being begged to stop, Mirage egged on more cops, drew more aggro from the authorities than was needed and did so at extreme risk to his passenger, and carried on. He had a good time.

And that's really fucking scary, that Mirage's loneliness and overall sense of isolation was so severe that in many ways it overrode his compassion to some degree.

When Noah is panicking, Mirage was physically feeling Noah's fear. Feet were digging into his interior, fists slapping against his windows, hands gripping him from the inside, tense with anxiety.

We know Mirage cares deeply about Noah, and later on, Kris as well.

But when they first meet, there's this somewhat blatant disregard for Noah's fear that he only sort of half-heartedly, somewhat jokingly even tries to address while he just keeps flooring it.

Sure, at that point, as far as Mirage knows, this dude was just trying to steal him. He doesn't have a feel for who Noah actually is yet. He doesn't know about Kris. He has a right to be a little suspicious, and it's reasonably understandable if he wants to fuck with someone he thinks is just a bog standard petty car thief for a minute.

But Mirage isn't all that suspicious; He knows the power balance is so wildly in his favour that it's sort of whatever, really. Why investigate when you can be driving?

He eventually "tests" Noah when he finally reveals his root mode to him.

And to be fair, he even acknowledges that this is probably a lot for Noah to deal with.

But then he responds to the equivalent of a Barbie doll shaking a twig at him by levelling a charged weapon directly at Noah's head and chest.

We know that Mirage isn't actually going to fire. Probably.

But Noah doesn't, and all he has is a pipe, after a joy ride from hell that scared the living shit out of him and put his entire family's wellbeing at extreme risk.

It's kind of fucked up; Of course it's understandable from both sides, knowing the perspective of both sides. Noah needs that stolen car money. Mirage was about to get stolen.

It's not the greatest situation for them to be meeting in.

But holy shit.

Mirage is a little... Excessive.

Which is consistent with the behaviour we see from him after he gets more familiar with Noah, and we know he's not going to hurt Noah or Kris, and he's just a very energetic type of bot. Okay.

But I wonder how Mirage behaved prior to meeting Noah. How much of his excitability and outgoing nature and willingness to do pretty much anything comes from the joy he gets from having his own human, getting to have a new friend, finally?

How depressed might he have been previously, given how abundantly happy he is, how quick he is to disregard almost anything else in favour of having a friend-- Even if he has to take a human temporarily captive in order to obtain that friendship?

We know his care for Noah ultimately overrides his sense of self-preservation as well.

But Mirage is extremely intense and high energy, and that's interesting, because you wouldn't necessarily think of a fairly isolated, lonely alien lost on a foreign world as being so upbeat and exuberant.

He wants to be happy. And he's very invested in the few people that can make him happy.

Mirage is the definition of ride or die, and that can actually be pretty scary.

He didn't give a second thought to causing at least one likely fatal car crash with his illusions, so that he and Noah could evade arrest.

We already know he's willing to take out humans if need be.

It's a good thing Noah's a good guy, because I can easily imagine Mirage as willing to do nearly anything to keep the new friend he found...

Anyway, my break's over now. lol
