Anidala’s love can’t be summed up to them having an “adolescent like relationship” when it’s their very love that defined and saved a galaxy and lasted as long as it did. They’ve found “deep love” within one another and considered it the only “good thing” among all that was happening during the war. It may come off as childish to those who don’t grasp the theatrical appeal to it, but the narrative intention was never for them to be painted as “two dumb horny teens.” They were naive and young, yes. Both forced into adulthood too quickly, and were traumatized at a vulnerable age, yes. Neither of them got the chance to just be kids and have a childhood, all true. But again, that narratively isn’t connected to them falling in love and being each other’s safe place. That’s actually apart of their own individual development as independent characters. While we’re on this topic, they’re canonically both impulsive. And yet that’s only due to who they are as characters, and therefore isn’t a reason to latch onto to insist that they have an “immature” or “adolescent” relationship with one another.
#I also find that people use this as a reason to also insist that anidala was toxic#which again#is incorrect#if we take a look at it from the perspective of our reality of course it’s going to seem childish and toxic#but then so would the relationship between ow and anakin if we’re going to argue that#the point is that none of the original pitch or aim for any of the dynamics in sw is that they’re meant to be viewed as toxic#or morally questionable#it’s a space fanatasy for god’s sake…#about love family redemption and forgiveness#added with the flare of theatrical operatic performances and writing#consume the way it’s meant too#not tagging this one because I know this one is bound to get differing opinions#and i’m not here to argue#might even delete later idk

these are all kind of Bad but this was the best of the bunch so i am posting it :p
i've been trying to draw vanessa more... she is so important to me... sun is here too i guess
#my art#probably wont tag this until later i dont want this in the tags#im mainly posting this because i absolutely need to talk abt something its been bothering me for awhile#im gonna censor this stuff (i REALLY dont want this in the tags) so just bear with me#why doesnt the 🌞&🌜 fandom talk abt v/nessa more. why do we not do that#their entire character is meant to parallel her#there's like a million tiny parallels for them in the games. they were both teased in the hw1 dlc and are both associated with that#🐰 & 🌜's animations (and even their designs) have several similarities to each other#there's a lot of cutscenes and parts of sb where one shows up after the other does.. 🐰 going to the daycare after greggy leaves#🌜 dragging feddy away to parts and service and v/nessa immediately showing up there#the entire 6am ending sequence ???#literally like the only reason v/nessa isnt more popular is bc like 90% of her character is hidden in unused content#and because 🌞&🌜 are the skinny handsome mysterious and tragic tumblr sexymen#and when they become so isolated from their source all of their parallels to her are used to instead repackage her character into a more#appealing design for everyone to fawn over and consume#.. im being dramatic but AuUGGHTHHF IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH PLEAAAE3 pleaseee please i love her.#its so hard being in the 'i want to kiss this robot' fandom when you dont actually want to kiss the robot#i just think theyre an interesting character 😭 and also my adhd brain obsesses over them endlessly so im just stuck here HFJSJGJD#anyway these tags got way too long dont read these. im going to bed now

If you feel the urge to take a red pen to a story, you are REACTING to the story which is the POINT!!!!!
#most books (and especially the classics to which the tags are referring) are not meant to be passively consumed#you are SUPPOSED to have thoughts and opinions about and even DISAGREEMENTS with the text#again that is you reacting to and forming a relationship with it and that is GOOD#i just watched several films that i would LOVE to take a red pen to because i have soooooo many thoughts#and i actually enjoyed myself MORE because i was given an opportunity to think critically#and my enjoyment of the films themselves was not lessened#i’d say this is a skill issue - but it’s really more of a perspective issue#if you think that thinking about anything but the story itself while reading a story ruins it then fine#but it doesn’t have to be that way#you don’t HAVE to be a passive reader or viewer! participation is fun too!

PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC.
Rafael is driven by his independence and his anger, fighting for what he believes in and deems right to free his people and return peace to Medici. But his tendency to push people away blurs the lines between selflessness and self-destruction, and his desperation for control greatly overshadows the true lack thereof— and it has turned his spark into an all-consuming forest fire, with no way to douse the flames. And everything burned, as promised. OC WEB WEAVE SERIES: RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ.
richard kadrey, aloha from hell // by eyedeeuhs // firestarter; torre florim // by gundula blumi // savannah brown, from 'closer baby closer' // leach; bones uk // ocean vuong, from 'to my father / to my future son' // by ysociety // maybe, i; des rocs // victoria chang, to love anyone // 'smoke and fire 1' by jennifer walton // burn; vorsa // vita sackville-west, from 'solitude' // by spelio // arsonist's lullabye; hozier // shira erlichman, from 'how to become a forest fire'
#jc3#edit:rafael#nuclearocs#nuclearedits#oc web weaves#no taglist i just want to have this on mein blog. starting a new tag for it as well to get them organized and all#previous weaves have all been for pairings so ummm. yeas. that's different those will just go in the normal edit tag. trust me#my tagging system is normal and i'm normal. if you see this. hi. welcome#this web weave from top to bottom kind of reads like rafael's descent into his own destruction#establishing him as who he is- a firestarter. someone who goes against authority (for good reasons bc he lives in a dictatorship)#someone who fights for freedom but at the same time he's so full of rage and he holds a grudge against someone else in the story#which just. consumes him. he gets too caught up in his desire for control and he loses all his control with it to the point he burns#and he burns and he burns and he burns until there's nothing left... and then the web weave ends with establishing that he's always known#'i knew that something would always rule me / i knew the scent was mine alone' followed by 'everything burned as promised'#this was always meant to happen!! there was no other way for this story to end!! everything burned and everything rafael did#led up to it in the end. there was nothing he could've done to stop any of it because he started it. he started the fire#and it burned along with him. and i'm normal about that. ok bye

Read Scott Pilgrim recently and like. Why did Bryan Lee O'Malley give Scott a social circle consisting almost entirely of women and gay men? Like, Scott is supposed to be a straight dude but he has literally two straight dude friends and one of them later turns out to be gay. It's not even like this is some accident of how the supporting cast happened to shake out either, Scott explicitly says that all his friends in high school were girls. This is a deliberate characterization choice and like... why?
#like this decision alone has got me half-convinced that scott is transfem#purely because of how much more sense it makes for a closeted trans woman to have this social circle than a straight cis dude#(i guess a case could be made for a cisbi reading but i feel like any mlm scott would've hooked up w/ wallace wells at least once#and there is no way that happened canonically because if it had wallace would've never shut up about it)#but there's no way that's the intended reading right?#but if not that then what?#it's like ben folds five's 'kate'#like there's no way that song was *meant* to read as being about a closeted transbian#but if it wasn't then why is the chorus the male singer wishing that he could *be* the pretty girl he has a crush on?#anyway these are the thoughts you get when i don't get any sleep#because i stayed up too late watching dan olson lose his mind contemplating the angry video game nerd#idle musings#walrus consumes media

I have the same madness inside of me when it appears someone merely watched hill house
It honestly makes me slightly unhinged. >.<
I think one of the things I have a really hard time understanding is even if you go into something like Beef or Haunting of Hill House or Russian Doll with no plan to engage with it.... How do you not get pulled in? Like I said in my other post, these shows want you to engage, they want a conversation with you. I didn't go into any of these works with plans to think about them for weeks afterwards (I didn't know there was anything to there to think about at all) but I had so many thoughts by the time the last episode wrapped up.
The idea of getting done with those shows, shows I hadn't even planned to think all that much about, and not have so many thoughts that my head feels full to bursting is just so strange to me.
#docholligay#geeky answers#geeky talks#one of my friends once told me that i have strong feelings about stuff that they wouldn't even think to care about at all#and they meant it in a joking and very affectionate way which is what i took it as#but later i was thinking about it and like#i don't know how to not be passionate about stuff#i cannot imagine going through life and just not caring about the things around me#which yes includes some of the media that i consume#i'm not trying to be mean but it honestly just feels like such a colorless way to go about living your life#it makes me want to grab them by the shoulder and shake them and yell#find something to be passionate about! you deserve a world full of colors and beauty!#it's all just there waiting for you to care! you just have to let yourself care!#anyway i might feel a little bit passionate about this too XD

I have such a love/hate relationship with HH...
love the huge step forward it has taken for indie animation,
hate how crazy it makes people
#merz talks#not meant to be flame#but people who love LOVE it can be... a lot#and people who hate HATE it are also too much#my take is the combo of biblical ideology and themes that make people uncomfortable sets people off especially on the internet#where opinions have to be so black and white and insanely polarizing#but i think like if you remove the context of the extreme love and the extreme hate for HH#you get just A show#and at the end of the day its not objectively awful but not flawless either#whats fucked is how small children are obsessed with it and i know this first hand from being in elementary classrooms and hearing the kids#sing the songs and talk about it#but its not the childs fault when their parents are the ones that shojld be paying attention#and its not like its gonna destroy the kid to have them watch HH#but in most cases theyre probably gonna have a point where they realize as an adult#that it was super fucked for them to have consumed that content so young#anyway im rambling now#oh and tbh i thing a lot of the hate for the creator is based on random inferences people are making from the show#like “creator romanticizes sex abuse” but like really its just that the topic is presented in a flashy way#and when you watch it its very clear that the audience is supposed to root for that characters escape from that situation#rather than want that character to keep being abused#but because its flashy and in such a stylized manner people think its romanticizing#how long can i keep going#this is why i love tumblr#if ur still reading thank u#for being at my ted talk

god the internet is such a wild place. you have people realising truths about the world that others have known since time immemorial and acting like theyre the first person to have thought about it immediately followed by people being complete garbage trash under the guise, want, or desire of/to be morally righteous in every possible way! it's great!
#i went on twitter again#it was awful#i got mad at a vegan not understanding how consumption works#like no shit other animals have complex brains with thoughts and emotions#we've understood this as a species for like ever#well some of us have anyway#veganism as a form of moral righteousness is inherently flawed because it's built upon two things#1. putting others beneath you for an arbitrary reason#and 2. not understanding that consumption IS 'natural' and isnt 'bad' or 'pointless'#plants have complex thoughts and emotions too! should we stop eating them? No!#im all for veganism for the sake of saving the environment pr dietary restrictions or personal preference what have you#but GOD are morally righteous people the FUCKING WORST#just. fuckin. eat animals dude. it's fine. everything is meant to be consumed in like an eating way so just. consume. in like an eating way#also the whole thing about 'moral righteousness' is a topic i could complain about ad nauseum#you aren't better than anyone else in the world because of what you dont do. inaction is the same level as negative actions#i think thats in the bible somewhere#anyway that's all for my tag rambling

Honestly this is also such a neat detail in Hunters Nightmare when the beasts there cover in fear if there is an Old Hunter nearby raging. Feels like very "who is the REAL beast here?" moment.
Also, interesting how the only beasts in the Hunters Nightmare are Ludwig and Laurence (the clerics), beastly patients and blood-starved beast (if Old Yharnam and Ailing Loran are any indication, one of the way to consume the holy blood is to crucify a blood-starved beast in a weird ritual) and blood-lickers (Cainhurst nobles that imbibed the blood regularly). Basically, all the beasts that somewhat committed a 'sin', but no regular scourge beast or anything.
What it tells me is that for this nightmare, it does matter how beasthood found you, as a beast you are spared if you was just caught in the circumstances, but not if you indulged in some sort of blasphemy (???) willingly. That's pretty smart ngl
#bloodborne#bloodborne observation#i do think that scourge beasts are just fully transformed people#like how huntsmen clearly show signs of falling further into it#this is just interesting you know?#simon says that the nightmare is for those drunk with blood#which you'd think applies to any beast or crazy huntsman too#but noooooo#makes me think that in this case maybe blood drunk was meant literally?#as in not just distorted into aggression beyond control#but more like 'consumed blood in blasphemous way'#something more modern huntsmen dont really do..#they just fightin

borderlands is like the series that probably has the most wrong fandom for what it wants to be. like it's a huge fictional universe with so much lore, it has really good and emotionally impactful stories. sometimes. bl3&tftbl2 dni, awesome queer rep, solid characters with touching bonds; and then most of the fandom is like. gamer bros who only care abt farming and misgendering nb characters ig
#i'm saying this as someone who consumes lots and lots of content of like. challenge runs and the likes#so i DO appreciate the gameplay#but it's clear to me with wonderlands for example. that they really want the series to be smth else#it disappointed most of the fandom which is insane to me bc i think it's a masterpiece#but. it's bc it has no endgame content and is meant to be played a specific way that ppl who focus on gameplay won't enjoy#(like you gotta do sidequests in order to be on level and there's a lot to do that isn't killing enemies)#many people not playing tftbl is also a sign of that i think. which ofc imo is also a masterpiece lol#and gearbox tried to lean into the farming thing in bl3 but then it ended up disappointing ppl even more that way 😭#so i really think. there's not quite miscommunication but rather different expectations from what the series is#bl2 kinda struck gold in that perfect middle to attract both types of fans which is why it's probably the most popular one#also my theory for why it attracted this type of fandom is. ofc. its humor#specifically the dark humor and offensive parts. that they really tried to iron out in future installments too

would you guys forgive me if I made a lyric post or no because um. https://open.spotify.com/track/6JL8mUoFALRbQ8uDiOKqmy?si=VjS0l4yxQkSgrCa1gYX3sg WHOOOOO SAID THAT…
#deranged.fh.posting#this migjt be too on the nose. it’s okay though#scott loved jimmy. kind of. in a fucked up way. in a symbolic way post death but not in a person way#loved what he meant not who he was and loved the pretty things he said#loved the idea of who he mightve been if he’d been able to truly love him in return#didnt love. much anything else about him imo#this is all to say that scott covets his warmth like a wolf at a corpse so its fair to assume his intents to consume him#sorry for posting bullshit btw I need things to talk about as I try and finish this essay which is actually backed up by the source materia#And isnt me just#(gestures above) spouting headcanons with extra steps nonsense… but this is also the headcanons with extra steps series. so. you know#Afraid to post this tbh bc I thjnk if I saw this a month or so ago I would have vehemently disagreed bc scott isnt really like that#But he also. kind of is? at the same time?#maybe I’ll write something more coherent about this later#essentially. a lot of what in the song applies to him isnt as intentional as the song makes it out to be. and I also think that adds to it#bree barks so fucking loud#i have once again added ten million tags on accident

childhood was spent thinking i’d go to hell and men would not love me if i swore so now to heal from that i am swearing as much as i fucking can until i come to my own fucking conclusion about how i feel regarding the usage of such crude vocabulary
#it needs to be my own decision and understanding that i do not want to swear#not because other people Told Me it’s not ladylike or im going to go to hell if i do it#if i end up deciding hey you know what i really dont like swearing then Boom i actually have a reason other than guilt and shame#because i will have been able to feel something Other than guilt and shame when swearing. if that makes sense#like instead of being consumed by guilt and shame every time i swear or think about swearing#i am able to come to it without bias and understand for myself (without guilt and shame) why it is wrong or harmful#(or rather IF it is wrong or harmful. ive not comr to my conclusion yet but you can see i still have preconceived notions about it)#and who knows maybe men wont love me after all and i will be unloved by God if i swear#then so be it because ive never known a single thing in my life without someone else telling me#i just want to figure it out and understand for myself without someone holding my hand because im too stupid to come to my own conclusion#my parents put me in a classical school so i could learn to think critically but then have removed every chance for me to think critically#because they are afraid i will make the wrong decision (even though supposedly i have learned critical thinking™)#and they didnt do that intentionally of course. and this sounds resentful but i truly dont mean it that way#i LOVE my parents and the fact that they wanted to put money into giving us good education rather than just nice possessions#they have wonderful hearts and the best of intentions. but no parent is perfect and every single one will affect their kids in some way#whether they meant to or not. or maybe they did something with good intention without realizing the harmful outcome#every day i realize that individuation is an actual thing and its not just a montage in a disney movie#froegis meep tag

i do think disney movies have gone down in quality (for many reasons) but i also think. perhaps. some of us are expecting way too much out of movies meant for. children
#and i am a firm believer that children’s media needs to be GOOD like u cant say it doesn’t matter bc its for kids#kids deserve good media#however#disney movies are never going to be groundbreaking pieces of cinema with unique stories and deep messages#like i think a lot of yall are way too nostalgic over the movies u grew up with#bc i promise u if u actually sat down and rewatched old disney movies u would find they are not NEARLY as profound as u remember#this is also why the way some people reacted to the barbie movie confused me so much#it was never!!! going to be some extreme feminist art house film masterpiece#it was always going to be a surface level you go girl!! barbie advertisement#and if you want to see films that do explore themes like that. maybe its time to break away from disney#maybe its time for u to explore film that wasn’t created to teach children basic lessons#maybe its time... to consume something other than family friendly pg capitalist toy ads#i say this 💗with love💗#also i know barbie movie wasnt disney and wasnt really meant for kids but it felt fitting in this convo#bc the expectations people put on that movie when it was literally!!!! a mattel sponsored ad were insane

Weird Al beach boys song best ever shitting My pants and decomposing
#talkingcore#I hit weird Al in my album adventure and this song is slaughtering me I am so happy#like it’s not just a beach boys parody that milks off of the surfer aesthetic no!!!!#it’s like Everything Pet sounds + smile era and like AHHHHHH there’s a part which is like wind chimes and not the smiley smile wind chimes#since that one is kinda Mwamp:/ no!! the smile version!!! and it sounds especially similar to the Brian Wilson version released in 2004#which like given this came out in 2006 100% influenced it to some capacity like it’s not just the melody but the layering of the vocals#it’s the instruments the mixing UGH it’s faithful in the most majestic way possible#idk the fact you can stick a harpsichord in there and immediately the little monkey in my brain is like 🤨 Brian Wilson? ACKCJCHH#time for my bi-annual rewatch of Brian Wilson’s SMiLE in concert#which like I think is hands down one of the best live performances like smile is fucking complex the variety of instruments is bonkers#like the whole workshop bit has them just turning on drills and shit! not even addressing the orchestration!!#so being able to recreate that at a near perfect level LIVE? like No Cuts???? absolutely wild it’s life changing#fun fact! it was watching that concert on youtube (it’s on youtube!) that made my beach boys brain spiral#like before august of 2021? normal. consumed music rather averagely. post august 2021? insane like the fact that in less than 4 months#I managed to skew my stats so much like at least 60% of 2021 became The Beach Boys#that’s not even addressing 2022 which got the most hit cause that’s 12 months! I think there’s maybe >10 songs out of the 100 that aren’t#the beach boys or okay at least beach boys related like I’m gonna count brian And Carl and dennis’ solo material in there too#especially given their overlap in production like Hell! how many songs were meant for Brian solo projects and were given to The Beach Boys?#Caroline no is credited just with Brian when it was released as a single even though she’s on pet sounds!!! AHGGGHH need to calm down

#the plants at my old elementary hit different bruh /lh
INGESTED not just chewed on to clarify lol. based on real responses from my groupchat
#glue and currency are the only ones that I decided I didn't like#and didn't regularly eat XD#actually I just never thought about consuming money#although I did suck on coins.#why would you permanently eat money when you can use it to buy video games?#never found pet treats that I liked#I loved the feeling of Kleenex dissolving in my mouth#and i loved sucking on it (eating it at the end of course).#the sand at the park closest to my house was great#I thought that cowboys who had grass between their teeth in movies and stuff must usually eat the grass at the end#so I did too so I could be cool#I didn't eat Play-Doh often#too salty.#ants are spicy#and my siblings have informed me that my eating spider webs also meant that I ate a lot of spiders#even tho i purposefully never ate spider webs that i saw a spider in.#and do I really want to admit that I still sometimes eat my hair on purpose?#not really but here I am admitting it anyway lol#It's the crunch.#so with all of that lol I picked sand for this poll because that one still has the most immediately positive memories#although typing these maybe I should have picked the grass.#I loved crunching down and flattening flowering grass stalks between my teeth#and those didn't taste bad either. they're sweet. but in a grassy way lol#... okay I started wondering if I regularly ate dried liquid glue off my hands#because when it gets to be a flaky large sheet that's something special#but no. I mainly liked getting glue all over my hands and then peeling off the sheets#so I could see all of the lines and shapes left behind from my skin.#journal#misc.#poll
