Everyone’s about Joost but Greece’s Marina Satti is receiving hate by the whole I*rael at this point, all z*onists and even many right wing Greeks who denounce her and beg J*ws for forgiveness (smh). Several of these Greeks have been also hating her for months, some even years, for being half Arab. She has been the recipient of extreme hate and toxicity, even when her father died three weeks ago.

The reason for the current uproar ? She feigned falling asleep when E*en was saying some pretentious generic bullshit about unity and inner strength. She is blamed for bulling E*en even though Marina was doing that in the opposite corner of the room and E*en didn’t even see her. She is called an evil person although she hasn’t ever said anything bad about anyone and I don’t think she has anything against E*en personally but simply like ALL artists this year, she apparently didn’t want I*rael to participate. She is also in truth a very sharp person and probably listening to E*en’s sugarcoating bullcrap was getting too much for her.

She is blamed for being an antis*mite even though Marina has worked several times with J*wish people in the previous years. Clearly, this was about what’s happening and not about the intrinsic value of a J*w as a human being. She is called envious of E*en and full of contempt, even though she made friends with many people including both Nemo and Baby Lasagna (the ACTUAL favourites to win) and showers them with love and praise.

And of course again, Marina is half Arab. She is even more personally entitled to her actions and feelings than more distant observers like Joost, Dons, Bambie, Gåte and Mustii. And yet she is turned into the absolute scapegoat.

They have all started downvoting her and calling everyone to not vote Greece. Seeing all this massive hate, I see how the insane results released by RAI are explained. Boy, they are MANY and they are voting politically. This year’s crapfest is some stuff of nightmares. And with all the boycotting from the other side, I see I*rael winning with 600 points or something 😞😞😞

I am just concerned about Marina because she has literally gone through it all this week (including illness and a nasty overadministration of medication to get well as fast as possible) and all the previous months. I am pretty sure she doesn’t give a shit about the J*wish / Z*onist votes she will lose (which might be many btw) but I am just concerned she will have a breakdown / anxiety attack tomorrow again ☹️

Models:

I originally drew this version YEARS ago in a really chibi style. Idk if everything translates well to Miraculous Ladybug's Praying Mantis Legged character style.

Idk why ML is allergic to leotards but I'm BRINGING THEM BACK!

I think I just really like drawing leggings. Anyway, really glad I went out of my way to draw up three whole model sheets for designs that are only on one page.

Learning that fans hated Applejack and called her "boring" is crazyyy to me because I genuinely, unironically believe AJ's the most complex character in the main six.

Backstory-wise, she was born into a family of famers/blue collar workers who helped found the town she lives in. She grew up a habitual liar until she had the bad habit traumatized outta her. She lost both her parents and was orphaned at a young age, having to step up as her baby sister's mother figure. She's the only person in the main gang who's experienced this level of loss and grief (A Royal Problem reveals that AJ dreams about memories of being held by her parents as a baby). She moved to Manhattan to live with her wealthy family members, only to realize she'll never fit in or be accepted, even amongst her own family. The earlier seasons imply she and her family had money problems too (In The Ticket Master, AJ wants to go to the gala to earn money to buy new farm equipment and afford hip surgery for her grandma).

Personality-wise, she's a total people-pleaser/steamroller (with an occasional savior complex) who places her self worth on her independence and usefulness for other people, causing her to become a complete workaholic. In Applebuck Season, AJ stops taking care of herself because of her obsessive responsibilities for others and becomes completely dysfunctional. In Apple Family Reunion, AJ has a tearful breakdown because in she thinks she dishonored her family and tarnished her reputation as a potential leader –– an expectation and anxiety that's directly tied to her deceased parents, as shown in the episode's ending scene. In The Last Roundup, AJ abandons her family and friends out of shame because believes she failed them by not earning 1st place in a rodeo competition. She completely spirals emotionally when she isn't able to fulfill her duties toward others. Her need to be the best manifests in intense pride and competitiveness when others challenge her. And when her pride's broken, she cowers and physically hides herself.

Moreover, it's strongly implied that AJ has a deep-seated anger. The comics explore her ranting outbursts more. EQG also obviously has AJ yelling at and insulting Rarity in a jealous fit just to hurt her feelings (with a line that I could write a whole dissection on). And I'm certain I read in a post somewhere that in a Gameloft event, AJ's negative traits are listed as anger.

Subtextually, a lot of these flaws and anxieties can be (retroactively) linked to her parents' death, forcing her to grow up too quickly to become the adult/caregiver of the family (especially after her big brother becomes semiverbal). Notice how throughout the series, she's constantly acting as the "mom friend" of the group (despite everything, she manages to be the most emotionally mature of the bunch). Notice how AJ'll switch to a quieter, calmer tone when her friends are panicking and use soothing prompts and questions to talk them through their emotions/problems; something she'd definitely pick up while raising a child. Same with her stoicism and reluctance at crying or releasing emotions (something Pinkie explicitly points out). She also had a childhood relationship with Rara (which, if you were to give a queer reading, could easy be interpreted as her first 'aha' crush), who eventually left her life. (Interestingly enough, AJ also has an angry outburst with Rara for the same exact reasons as with EQG Rarity; jealous, upset that someone else is using and changing her). It's not hard to imagine an AJ with separation anxiety stemming from her mother and childhood friend/crush leaving. I'm also not above reading into AJ's relationship with her little sister (Y'all ever think about how AB never got to know her parents, even though she shares her father's colors and her mother's curly hair?).

AJ's stubbornness is a symptom of growing up too quickly as well. Who else to play with your baby sister when your brother goes nonverbal (not to discount Big Mac's role in raising AB)? Who else to wake up in the middle of the night to care for your crying baby sister when your grandma needs her rest? When you need to be 100% all the time for your family, you tend to become hard-stuck with a sense of moral superiority. You know what's best because you have to be your best because if you're aren't your best, then everything'll inevitably fall apart and it'll be your fault. And if you don't know what's best –– if you've been wrong the whole time –– that means you haven't been your best, which means you've failed the people who rely on you, which means you can't fulfill your role in the family/society, which makes you worthless . We've seen time and time again how this compulsive need to be right for the sake of others becomes self-destructive (Apple Family Reunion, Sound of Silence, all competitions against RD). We've seen in The Last Roundup how, when no longer at her best, AJ would rather remove herself from her community than confront them because she no longer feels of use to them.

But I guess it is kinda weird that AJ has "masculine" traits and isn't interested in men at all. It's totally justified that an aggressively straight, misogynistic male fandom would characterize her as a "boring background character." /s

At the time of writing this, it's 4:46AM.

Rogues Gallery AU Ratchet and Drift details vvv

Drift, formerly going by the name Deadlock, has long since retired her career as the hired assassin Cheshire after ending up at Ratchet's free clinic 10 years ago. The two now live together and have since gotten married at some point, with Drift sometimes helping Ratchet out in the clinic. Otherwise, she trains her athletic skills relentlessly and repaints/maintains her old gear in case anyone decides to cause trouble for either of them. You never know what might happen in Gotham City...

Ratchet runs a free clinic in Gotham, treating anyone or any bat looking for help. Her history with Prowl is long, and she doesn't necessarily approve of Prowl's decision to don the cowl, but she'll still help out regardless. Ratchet's currently been looking to retire alongside Drift some time soon, but has tremendous difficulty staying away from her clinic.

Both can break every bone in ur body if they really wanted to
