#debating with myself over posting writing w.i.ps :|#like. on one hand. i dont like sharing unfinished writing. and i know i may never finish some of them. which could be bumming to see #but on the other. saving and later sharing art wips has helped me improve and pressure myself into finishing more stuff #also its sorta fun to look back on the process or early stages of smth #but augh. more writings get scrapped or abandoned compared to art. so i dont want to get hopes up if its viewed and enjoyed #i dunno. ive got things i want to share i think. and if i dont now some may never see the light of day despite how much went into them :/#decisions decisions ig

Love that Oppenheimer is a deeply disturbing horror movie about a man forced to accept that he is, in a person, the representative manifestation of mankind’s evil in committing one of the greatest horrors of human history - LITERALLY acting as the modern Prometheus, tormented by his sins for the remainder of time. Knowing that he will never be pitied and his actions will forever be utterly unforgivable because the blood of genocide and the potential of total human annihilation will eternally drip from his hands.

But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.

Hate that twitter’s take on such a nuanced and brilliantly handled examination of those issues is “movie bad because protagonist not evil enough.”

#what’s that quote about the problem with othering the enemy in media is that we can no longer see our own reflection in their eyes #oppenheimer’s motivations WERE sympathetic that’s the POINT #we SHOULD feel uncomfortable with our sympathy for him - the film goes out of its way to make us feel uncomfortable about it #we should be uncomfortable with the fact that we might have made the same decisions as him in his place #yes he’s evil but his evilness represents the evil that we might all accept in ourselves #twitter simply cannot handle nuanced takes on things ig (tumblr does though - the posts on here have been surprisingly excellent)#oppenheimer #(tldr - look if you walk out of Oppenheimer thinking it somehow celebrates the man then you may need to retake 9th grade Literature srry)#films

Fucking hate when queer people talk about transhets like "Ew why would anyone choose to be straight haha" I chose to be straight and I would choose to be straight again and again and again and again, fuck you.

#but if you say you would choose to be straight you're a homophobe and *checks notes* you probably endorse conversion therapy #also to clarify some wording- ig i didn't *choose* to be straight because i didn't choose to be trans #but i chose to label myself as straight instead of forcing myself to be a lesbian and it was a fucking good decision #transhet

even if watcher backs down from this decision i don't think they realize the backlash will be permanent. like did you guys not see what happened when the fine bros tried to trademark React? the bad taste will not just go away because you changed your mind and many fans will never trust you again

#haven't posted here in a while #still watch (or watched ig lol) their content #i cannot believe they not only thought this was a good decision #but also hyped it up like people would be excited?? to lose a youtube channel they enjoy to a paywall?#genuinely how out of touch do you have to be.#even if they reverse this i will not be able to think of them the same way #watcher #im talking again

[I.D. Two drawings of Baxter Stockman from TMNT 2003. He wears a yellow v neck sweater and has orange glasses frames in both. In the first drawing he frowns with concentration, sticking out his tongue as he stares at a purple seed in his palm (the kind that Draxum uses to create vines) and gestures with his other hand. A small purple vine stems from the seed. In the second drawing, he moves his arm outward and the vine shoots up, curling over his head. He looks at it excitedly and says "Yes, yes!!" End I.D.]

I've decided, building on this post, after Stockman is told that manipulating vines is really hard and takes a super long time to learn that he decides to teach himself how to do it out of spite. Man is about 3 seconds away from losing control and sending that vine through his ceiling <3

#image described #tmnt 2003 #2003 baxter stockman #tmnt 2k3 #tmnt baxter stockman #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #scientists testing evil mutagens #stem au #tag ramble time: i cant figure out how to draw his actual canon glasses and make them look nice so i went with orange frames #idk i like giving him bright colors (and it fits better with the energy of the rise universe i feel like)#but also. they were so annoying to draw. because i accidentally drew them on the regular lineart layer #well i drew one pair on the wrong layer and then went 'screw it i'm just merging the glasses down' Bad Decision #cause when i had to recolor them to make sure they actually stood out against his skin i couldnt do my normal 'recolor the whole layer'#(hit protect alpha and fill tool the whole layer so it takes like 3 seconds)#no i had to go in and carefully reline them. it wasnt that long but it was way longer than it wouldve taken if i hadnt messed up my layers #anyway his glasses are awful and i hate them (affectionate) (they're fine they're just tricky to draw)#and that's my tag ramble ig hope you enjoyed if you actually read it for some reason lmao

I haven’t been liking how I draw thrawn lately so I wanted to do some comic redraws to practice. Feral Thrawn is so funny to me?? Like why is his hair so long?😭 bruh was only supposed to be out there for like a few months—not years

I also find heavily shadowed forms hard so I wanted to practice that too

#star wars #thrawn #star wars fanart #thrawn fanart #grand admiral thrawn #my art 2024 #mitth’raw’nuruodo #myart #digital illustration #comic redraw #thrawn spoiler #idk if referencing his conversation with night swan in my post is a spoiler exactly but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#why’s his hair so long WTF?#literally did he drink a hair growing potion? do chiss have hair growing potions #😭😭#and no facial hair whatsoever ig looool #I know it’s an artistic decision for the comic but it’s still so funny to me that his hair is so fucking long for like no reason other than #selling that he’s been here for awhile

the fact that the first thing ariana grande said after finding out she got the role for glinda was just, “thank you so much… i love her so much, i’m gonna take such good care of her” while bawling like..

i think why i am drawn more to antagonists (especially TRAITOR antagonists cus goddd) is because they've walked away from all the people they cared about, all the people they loved, because this is a cause they care about. it is selfless. it is cruel. it is diabolical, actually. it is something the hero won't do. something even the hero is unwilling to sacrifice, but the traitor, well, they have given everything and they will give more. because when you commit an act of betrayal, you are betraying more, you are betraying yourself, you are betraying your morality so that everyone else can save their's. you are paving the road to heaven by going to hell. and if that isn't tragically evil idk what is

#cough #luke castellan #octavia blake #yin nezha #baru cormorant #though she's not really an antagonist #but you know what i mean #like this applies to hero characters to like i eat up paragon heroes #all depends on the framing ig #this framing is real nice w paragon heroes acc #i will never forgive booktok for putting moral grayness on a pedestal and condemning paragon heroes #'you need tension and suspense and that's best with a morally gray hero. what will they do?'#NO!#tension can come from watching a hero do the right thing and seeing them lose everything anyways #it doesn't have to be in the decision it can be in the consequences of it #anyways that's wraps #tldr: i fuckin love distillation arcs when characters become the rawest versions of themselves

Lucanis had so much potential that never went anywhere, and I feel like the main reason for this is bc the Crows needed to be good in the game. The logical development for Lucanis imo should've been coming to terms with how abusive his childhood was, and how he should consider breaking free from the Crows and his grandmother and persuing his own path instead. But since that would bring critique to the Crows, he instead got saddled with the First Talon title which he never wanted in the first place. Whether he becomes First Talon or not is what his personal quest's 2 endings should've been about.

What we get in the game is fine (especially considering how troubled development was) and I like him as a character a lot. He has plenty of good qualities, but he is one of the companions with the most wasted potential in my book.

#lucanis dellamorte #lucanis #dragon age the veilguard #dragon age the veilguard spoilers #datv #datv spoilers #my posts #lucanis's story reminds me of gale act 3 weird writing decisions #fck forbid a man calls out their female abusers ig #datv at least doesn't bring the abuse at all while bg3 does and then drops the ball for no reason

secretly afab jiang cheng poll

(someone once wrote a post about a similar scenario but i cannot find it. if someone finds it please send me the link)

consider the following scenario:

yu ziyuan gives birth to two biologically female children. her second birth in particular is difficult and renders it impossible for her to have any more children. determined to have one of her children inherit, however, yu ziyuan lies, and announces to the cultivation world the birth of a son, jiang cheng.

jiang cheng is raised as a boy. only yu ziyuan and a handful of trusted maids know the truth. jiang fengmian never finds out. jiang yanli never finds out. even wei wuxian somehow never finds out.

as time goes on, various other parties discover the truth at different points in jiang cheng's life--wen chao and his men after jiang cheng is captured in wei wuxian's place, wen qing and wen ning during the golden core transfer, possibly jin guangyao as well--but, due to various circumstances, everyone who knows dies before they can spread the information. eventually, the only person left alive who knows the truth is jiang cheng himself.

jiang cheng leads his sect. jiang cheng purposefully gets himself blacklisted by all matchmakers. jiang cheng raises jin ling. somehow, for the entirety of the 13 year timeskip and beyond, jiang cheng is able to hide the truth of his body from the entire world. wei wuxian returns after 13 years of death, the present half of the plot plays out exactly as it does in canon, and somehow this specific information just never comes up. even after wen ning's return, wen ning somehow never brings it up either, because he assumes wei wuxian knows already.

then, some time after the end of canon, wei wuxian finds out the truth: that jiang cheng, who he fully believed to be biologically male, was in fact biologically female this entire time, and also that jiang cheng managed to hide this information from him all the way up until now. maybe wen ning finally spills the beans or something.

how does wei wuxian react?

things to consider:

how does jiang cheng think of himself in this scenario? as a woman pretending to be a man? as the ancient fantasy chinese version of a transgender man?

how does jiang cheng wish to live in this scenario? does he wish to live as a woman? does he wish he were biologically male?

have jiang cheng and wei wuxian reconciled?

how would wei wuxian react to learning that there was a huge chunk of jiang cheng's life he had zero idea about?

what kinds of attitudes towards women has wei wuxian exhibited in the text?

what kinds of attitudes towards women has mxtx exhibited in the text?

explain your reasoning in the notes!!!

#mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #chengxian #rule 63 #yanyan polls #if a lot of the options here read as Quite Misogynistic. tbh that was by design #i don't have a very positive impression of how either wwx or mxtx view women #even weird comments about background female characters aside. yanli can make her own decisions wwx mind your own business #after a certain point it stops being cute and starts becoming white knighting. and then...well. BIL-murdering. oops!!#also ig in this au wwx doesn't notice himself during the golden core transfer surgery because he was a bit distracted. you know #getting his golden core removed and all.
