Lost Meme -- @unapologeticapaathy
"My hero," Nico drawled sarcastically from his position spread-eagle on the ground. "Next time you get the urge to save me, don't." Sure, being shoved out of the way of a raging celestial bronze bull was probably helpful, but Nico didn't think it was that helpful, especially as he spent the next several moments scrambling along the ground, trying to avoid said bull.
Fortunately the mechanical monster didn't handle corners very well, careening over an embankment and into the nearby river, spluttering and sparking as it because to sink slowly under the waters. With the splash, Nico had let his hands slip out from underneath him, opting to just lie on the ground for a moment instead of get up.

#zeno's art#i'm not sure if i should tag the show itself as i'm not a fan but i guess its āfanāart so i will#hazbin hotel#charlie hazbin hotel#vivziepop#i was bored and wanted to draw something#my main goal here was to create a design that looked distinct and could (potentially) be moderately easy to animate#of course based on charlie's character i added as many angel images as possible through the hair and bowtie#(i know white on white is a character design sin but i wanted to show the angel wing detail ;w;)#also to express the personality and juxtaposition of a sweet devil her horns are supposed to curve into a heart shape#of course the garterbelts are upside-down/st peters crosses because of her satanic themes#i also tried to go harder into the goat theme but its still subtle i think#i actually think the goat theme is really interesting because of the story of the sheep and the goats in the bible#but i cant remember if it was actually something intended in her original design#i'm not going to draw anyone else so dont even anticipate that#this was basically a cooldown? ok i think i'm rambling now#goodbye#ok edit to say it clearly: i am not a fan of vivziepop or her work. i just wanted to redesign charlie as a cooldown/exercise for fun#because i used to be a fan of the character before i wised up about what vivzie had and has done#and before i matured and noticed the cracks and fundamental flaws in her works#so yea i dont support her at all and this redesign is critical i guess#also the reason why the tag āvivziepopā is there in the first place is so that anyone who has that tag silenced can scroll past#without seeing anything related to her work. in case that clears anything up#its the same reason why i tag ālong postā and āfoodā and the like

I canāt believe how obvious it is on rewatch that Agatha knew who Billy was the whole time. The gap between what the writers led us to believe was happening and what was actually happening was so cleverly done. Kathryn Hahn should get a million awards and so should the writers. Go watch it again - all of her lines and microexpressions and little glances at Billy and decisions about the road make so much more sense now. Do you know how many times I watched this and I missed all of it? Itās bonkers, actually.
#Agatha rewatch#agatha all along#spoilers#agatha all along spoilers#Kathryn Hahn#I feel like I should make a chart of what we thought was happening vs what was actually happening#and how they made the lines and acting choices just subtle/ambiguous enough to work for both#but clearly to fit with the intended outcome#itās wild

I keep seeing white book reviewers complain about how Babel is so very in your face and obvious about its rage at colonialism as if they would not twist the meaning of the book to fit into their convenient little worldview and find a way to say 'ok.. BUT' if it were NOT so clearly and explicitly laid out I'm sorry but it's true.
#white people have SUCH a history of taking stories that are clearly by POC talking about their own experiences as POC#and twisting it so that it becomes a problem that they too can relate too. a problem that they also face#blatantly ignoring the intended message simply because it doesn't appeal to their incredibly narrow worldview#like death of the author exists but#there's a difference bw death of the authors and blatant and malicious murder of the author#especially when the work speaks so loudly for itself even distanced from the author#which is why I'm GLAD Babel decided NOT to be subtle or vague#anyway yeah#babel#babel rf kuang#babel or the necessity of violence#babel an arcane history#rf kuang

I do not at all think that Xiao Lanhua believed Changheng when he told her that Dongfang Qingcang killed her tribe. I would even venture to say that's a misreading of the series.
And it's not because she's blinded by love! It's because she's cleverer than that. It just makes no sense. Even if she doesn't know it's impossible because of the timeline (DFQC was imprisoned before they were killed), she knows Dongfang Qingcang and Shangque both.
And it's not a matter of 'oh my bb boy would never do bad things', because at this point she's very aware of what war between the two tribes means and has meant. LBFAD is partially a story about the damage that a cycle of violence creates within generations and generations of people, and Xiao Lanhua comes to understand this better than most.
It's because she knows Shuiyuntian was his aim, and he'd have no reason or desire to bring in innocent, neutral parties. Shangque himself says that going after Xilan would be unethical. She's not living in a lala land where her fiance doesn't have blood on his hands. She's just smarter than that. He's never been pointlessly evil. That's not who he was, even without emotions.
Every single thing Shuiyuntian told her growing up about Dongfang Qingcang turned out to be wrong. Why would she believe it now, even from the mouth of Changheng? "What is real and what isn't real?"' She questions and doubts Changheng's truth and his words right then and there.
DFQC banked on what he perceived as his own awfulness to get Xiao Lanhua to stop loving him, but he overestimated himself on that front. Her love is steadfast, but it's not that she's willing to ignore these horrific things; that he killed her people, that he never loved her. She's just smart enough to realize they're not true.
#love between fairy and devil#cang lan jue#i've seen this as a reason to hate her and i'm like ????#changed the wording on this because it sounded weirdly combative#which... was not intended#it's because i'm at work and want to fight my job#clearly

still not over the amangela 2t1l. cant believe we got that. like. like. just a full *30-40 min of these two telling stories about their lives to each other, laughing their asses off, and bonding, interspersed with like. this:
#the clip the last two screenshots are from is on loop in my head constantly like. god#smosh#amanda lehan canto#angela giarratana#amangela#look rpf brain off they were clearly havign such a blast in the video. i dont have more screenshots bc they spend a ton of it laughing#rpf brain on... welll...... wellllll.#if that third photo is intended to be an innocent expression from angela to throw off suspicion. well. lets just say. it would work on me#i would trust that angela with my life. mostly bc my knees would have given out#2t1l#2 truths 1 lie

I'm kinda tired of dungeon meshi fans blatantly misinterpreting Kabru's goals, motivations, and character so they can ship him with Laios...like obviously it's awesome if you enjoy Laikabu but can you nooot twist Kabru's intentions for involving himself with the guy who constantly triggers his monster trauma and pisses him off so bad he gets brain damage so that he turns into "the guy who wants to suck Laios's dick" as his entire character? I've even seen people cut off Kabru's words to make it seem like he is admiring Laios because it would disrupt that narrative
#how can you think marcille hates laios and kabru wants to fuck him that's not.......canon.....#every time I see stuff of them itās people being like 'oh kabru loves it so much when laios reminds him of his traumatic past'#be it his eyes/monsters/or the succubus thing 'he just HAS to fuck laios'#kui was noooooot intending for kabru to be lusting after that man!!!#i love laios but come ON why dont you actually care about KABRU tooooo#for l4bru to actually work one of them would have to suppress a big part of themselves and its ALWAYS on kabru itās so insufferable#it's just like how some people misconstrued fem!toshiro blushing about laios to be her crushing on him when it was obv the same discomfort#but it made the microaggressions even worse because of the gender difference AS WELL as the culture difference#SIGH#i prommis ryoko kui did not create kabru so he can think about sucking laioss humungous donger all day fhsdkfhskjh#L4ikabu is the worst case Iāve seen of people twisting things for their ship because itās literally just not trueā¦#blatant misreading of the text goes crazy!!!!#like sure they're foils but what about the actual dynamic...w8 don't think about that actually cuz yoikes lol#obviously not threatening anyone who ships them please just stop saying it's canon oh my g#pwease actually read what kabru says he lays it out really clearly and has a super interesting backstory that drives his actions š„²#i dont expect anyone to read this because im not using a tag but if u do then...š«¢šÆ#i dont understand y ppl like it so much when laios ignores kabru so hard KABRU DESERVES BETTER#Iāve never felt like this about any ship before wow it just makes me š«·

You know, a lot of fanfics have the batkids call Damian ādemonā or ādemon bratā. And Iām just wondering if anyone actually does call him that. In canon I mean. Do yāall know?
#Bc it does provoke angst thoughts#but I donāt wanna be demonizing characters for things they didnāt actually do iykwim#no pun intended#in fact I tried very hard to phrase that without using the word ādemonizeā but it wasnāt working#But like think about it#if that is an actual nickname#then itās clearly a jab at his Al Ghul lineage/connection to the LOA#Which is something heās worked really hard and sacrificed everything to reject#not to mention that one time he died and went to hell#Considering that in the dc universe you only go to hell if you think you deserve it??#angst galore#But yk#first I wanna know if thatās even a real thing or not#damian wayne#batfam#batfamily#How do I tag

Renly had seemed anxious to know if the girl reminded him of anyone, and when Ned had no answer but a shrug, he had seemed disappointed. The maid was Loras Tyrell's sister Margaery, he'd confessed, but there were those who said she looked like Lyanna. "No," Ned had told him, bemused. (Eddard VI, AGOT)
This is literally people in fandom trying to make shallow connections between Lyanna and [X character] and presenting them as equally important as parallels drawn directly in the text. In fact, this coming after Ned tells Arya she reminds him of Lyanna (in looks and behavior) feels like George cementing the importance of their likeness. Other characters might have passing similarities to Lyanna, but Arya's parallels are much more meaningful than that and are being highlighted for a reason.
#arya stark#lyanna stark#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#George foresaw people ignoring their parallels and put this in just to emphasize them lol#sorry but I'm not going to pretend that Lyanna has equally important or relevant parallels to other characters cause she just doesn't#George doesn't /hide/ parallels like that if he intends two characters to be related to each other then he clearly states it#He does so with Arya/Lyanna and Dany/Rhaegar#it works both ways...it's a way for us to gain insight on them by having them related to the behavior of POV characters#trying to split that between two characters who are written to be FOILS is so ridiculous#you could parallel damn near any two characters in the story but that doesn't mean that George is emphasizing them for a reason#tired of people acting like Arya stans are crazy for pointing out what's directly written in the books#this shouldn't even be an issue but people hate acknowledging anything of importance in Arya's arc#aside from Arya and Jon the parallels to Lyanna are just not that deep sorry

Does anyone else remember the episode of 87 called āThe fifth turtleā where Venus de Milo was introduced for the very first time? And how she went on to permanently join the main cast after that? Gotta be one of my favourite parts of the original cartoon for sure!
#tmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt 1987#tmnt 87#tmnt venus#tmnt venus de milo#raphael tmnt#tmnt raph#tmnt fanart#weapon wise I know itās cliche but Iād probably give her a tessen AHA#itād be easy to animate clearly distinct from the others and most importantly would lend itself to a variety of funny visual gags or puns#which is the most important thing to consider when it comes to 87#in this show weapons are less tools intended primarily for combat and instead tools for the turtles to creatively solve problems#Iām rambling Iāll stop just trust me it would worK#87!Venus AU#87 to the max

Michael Craze pops up as Vince Kelly, a teenage runaway from a borstal centre, in Gideon's Way: Boy With Gun (1.23, ITC, 1966)
#fave spotting#michael craze#ben jackson#doctor who#gideon's way#1966#boy with gun#itc#a relatively rare fave spotting! outside of his DW workā Mike didn't make a huge amount of appearances in cult tvā at least not many that#survive or are easily seen; he'd previously starred in Target Lunaā a completely lost serialā but didn't return when the show carried on as#Pathfinders in Space (oddlyā perhaps because of a change of directorā every single returning character was recast) and beyond#there were also episodes of Dixon pf Dock Green and Armchair Theatre but these are also in all likelihood lost tv; othersā like an ep of#Hammer's sci fi anthology Journey to the Unknownā are frustratingly unavailable to the average viewer (I was really hoping Network would#do something with JttU after they announced an agreement with Hammer but alas it wasn't to be)#mike would have been about 22 when filming this ep (around May '65) but was still largely playing juvenile parts as here#(his age isn't given but as a borstal runaway he's clearly intended to be a teen); this aired in feb or march '66 in most regionsā by which#time he had presumably been cast in DW (or very near to it; he'd debut in The War Machines in June of that year)#DW would act as a sort of transition for Craze from youth parts into adult roles (i mean Ben's own age is debatable but I'd say he's surely#meant to be at least 18?). there'd be some more guest spots and a few horror films to come (he was a regular collaborator with Norman#J. Warren) but he doesn't pop up with the regularity of many other Who companions so this was a lovely little surprise (zero memory of him#being in it from when i first watched years ago)

Mona: 20
Keqing: 21

My roommate and I had a conversation last night and I keep rotating it in my brain and I Donāt Like It
#blue chatter#they called me a resilient person. and no the fuck I am not. I break down so easily over everything and my body is falling apart on me.#I scream in terror when someone knocks on the door too hard the fuck you mean Iām good at handling adversity#I pointed out that I freak out whenever my grade gets low even a little bit#and they were just sitting there like āyeah. and then you pick yourself up again and you do the work.ā#and no? not always? oftentimes I give up and donāt try hard enough to fix it and let points go that I could have earned#I barely ever go for extra credit opportunities and Iāve never gone to office hours of my own free will#I canāt even think about talking to a professor about a bad grade without wanting to cry? hello?#but they were insistent that even with those things I am still managing Incredibly Well in class given the circumstances. which made me#uncomfortable. like. I donāt think of myself as resilient At All and I feel a bit like Iām lying or tricking them.#I start shaking like a chihuahua when people are upset and Iām In The Vicinity. even when theyāre clearly not upset with me.#I really struggle to advocate for myself ever and even when I do I usually feel guilty and walk it back partway so I donāt cause a fight#and I always get way too emotional for the situation when someone has anything theyāre upset with me for. which isnāt fair to them bc I need#to be able to take constructive criticism without taking it as a personal attack on me.#like what the fuck do you mean *resilient*. I canāt even handle seeing a bug flying near my face or getting a B in a class. or being told#that I did something wrong. Iām actually significantly worse at handling adversity than I used to be. high school me was a resilientish kid.#and itās not like I was ever *good* at handling my emotions. even when it was essential for my safety. Iāve always cried way too easily#even when it actively made the situation I was in Much Worse. even when I knew better.#I would get angry and scared and sad and start shaking and crying and even screaming at my parents when they were mad at me even though#I knew that it would always make my life much worse. and extend an already beleaguered argument.#I brought this up with my therapist and she was like āwell. anybody would have done that if they were treated like you wereā.#which. okay. maybe so. I still feel like I should have been able to handle it and just shut up and move on and not make it worse.#but I am aware that this is probably a cognitive distortion. even so. that definitely doesnāt make me resilient.#I just. I feel gross being called resilient. Iām not. Iām weak and easily scared and unable to handle even small amounts of adversity.#the fuck is my roommate even *seeing*.#the annoying part is that theyāre generally an insightful person about other people and I know logically that theyāre probably right#which is why Iām not going to complain any more about this to their face bc I should just drop it and not make it a Thing#I talk too much about myself and my problems anyway. not every conversation has to be about my brain worms.#but the discomfort is Distinct and Unpleasant. and now Iām just having to sit with it. and Feel Uncomfortable. and try to accept what was#definitely intended as a compliment. I know itās draining to talk to someone who doesnāt accept any of the kind things you say about them.
