#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#a-yuan#wen qing#wen ning#This scene raised several implications that range from retroactively hilarious -#-to confrontationally horrifying.#First with the hilarious bit; Hey! We've seen this scene before!#In fact - this particular duet is so similar to the duet LWJ and WWX perform to calm the mystery arm in Cloud Recess-#-That I am honestly flabbergasted WWX *didn't* realize LWJ would catch on his real identity.#Sure there are a lot of ways you could justify it. But also...even if he didn't play Wangxian.mp3...he would have been found out eventually#"I have to get away from LWJ by annoying him via flirting!' uhhh like you pretty much did throughout most of your late teens?#I think there is something a bit charming about WWX if he's truly that bad of an actor. Go on king. Live your authentic truth.#For the horrifying implications...I didn't depict it here but it's not *just* Wen Ning who breaks out and goes into a frenzy.#It is also the other corpses that are around the burial grounds.#You know; the ones that even he admits he has no idea how many there are!#It puts a lot more weight on 'how much longer do you really think you can do this?'#The village in the burial grounds was *always* under a time limit. It was a matter of when and how it would be destroyed.#And I do believe that firmly. As depressing and pessimistic as it is; The Wen Remnants were never meant to survive.

Per the last episode of BWFA, it is funny to think of a scenario where the Justice League found out about the Batkids because they showed up one day to the batcave to discuss something with Batman. In the middle of the meeting, there was shouting and loud noises coming from above. The heroes went on alert and ran towards the main floor, ignoring Batman's protest, only to find a living room in complete chaos and a bunch of teenagers fighting with each other. Between the chaos, a butler walks towards Batman and just says, "Maybe giving them Monopoly to keep them occupied wasn't the wisest choice."

*slaps side of cybersix cartoon* this show can fit so many trans experiences in it
like, the genderfluidity of it all? you're is presenting as a man here with this identity and as a woman here with this identity but is always still you. one of the things the story says over and over about our protagonist's love interest is that, in whatever way, he cares so so much about our protagonist in Both of their identities. The story is not just about one it's about both.
a transmasc experience? The coat that's a bit too big for you but makes your shoulders look wider, the shirt that's big enough to hide in, your voice doesn't really pass and you're just hoping it'll be overlooked, you get hurt and you don't want to go to a hospital because they would see through the disguise, you don't want to give your name to someone who might realize it's not official. If they see through the disguise you're in danger. you've finally reached a part of your life where you can make connections freely as a person but there's always this doubt of is this real? do i deserve this? what if they knew? and they can't know because that would implicate them in the same danger. i cannot be this and live this all the time because of how i was created, because of the dangers around me. and at the end of the day, when it comes to the final hour, I'll have to give this up, won't I? you put the glasses down. but you survive anyway, and you can get them back, if you want.
but just. the more I watched of this show the more it's just absolutely hit me in the feels with a transfem narrative? like in the way galaxy the prettiest star has a 'you're in disguise as a man to keep yourself and those around you safe' transfem narrative and like specifically a partially closeted/sometimes in guymode transfem narrative. your childhood photo that you keep with you is ambiguous enough on your gender to not give anything away. you go to work in mens clothes that don't quite fit right with a man's name and you hope no one sees through that facade because if they do you would be in danger. You go home and at night you change your hair, you put on your makeup and nails and heels and you go back out as yourself. and you are incredibly strong and you are in incredible danger but deep in your heart you feel alive. and at the same time there is a voice in your head that says you are not real, you are not a real person. you are not the right kind of person. you are not the right kind of woman. you don't deserve the things that real people deserve. you'll try to turn away someone who loves you because of that but because he loves you for yourself he doesn't care. You face danger and you survive anyway and you're loved. It just. it hits me right in the feels. I love her.
so much trans. very gender.
#cybersix#your neighbor chats#the concept of cybersix as actually being transfem in universe does of course have the delightful element of#literally none of the bad guys including the guy who created her ever refers to her as anything other than a woman so it's full#we're cool about your gender sure but we will destroy you for rebelling and trying to stop our evil plans#like just coming off of the show im generally headcanoning her gender as mostly woman-ish but her relationship w/ gender is complicated#that i dont think she ever necessarily would pin down#not even just because 'busy with fighting evil' or 'bigger issues with fundamental personhood to work out for herself'#i just don't think she'd feel the need to be that particular about it#but honestly i would read 500 fics about cybersix all with completely different approaches to cybersix's attitude & gender identity#as long as its approached as Queer in some way.#and? i think that rules.#very mulan of it all where like. the story can reflect so many different trans experiences. good times.

I have…. A lot to say. A lot of feelings. A lot of hurt. I thought I had made friends in a community. I thought I was being encouraged to heal. And someone in it used me and villainized me.
I watched as others wanted to make people villains for doing what they loved. I was afraid of saying anything. Afraid people I didn’t know would turn against me and call me things I am not. Would end a dream I had before it began.
You know who you are. I want nothing to do with you. I’m tired of being made the villain. Im tired of the same pointless fights from people. I’m tired of trusting people with a few insecurities and getting responses that make me feel like I’m a god awful person for even DARING to show one.
I’m not coming back. I’m removing the previous art I posted here. I won’t rejoin the tumblr community. Congrats you for ruining tumblr for me forever. I’ll keep this account for one reason- a reason you don’t get to know.
Don’t reach out to me through any channel. You’ll get no response from me. The time for words is long passed. I tried my best and instead was gaslit and told I was “misunderstanding everything”. I’m done here. The only thing I have left for tumblr is this:
You don’t get to destroy and take away something I LOVE. A PASSION. All because you wanted to use me for my looks! So take this last picture and know this- that’s the last fuck I’m giving you.
#eene#ed edd n eddy#dissonancedart#dissociative identity disorder#fanart#eene bro#drawing#traditional art#a message#fuck you#you know who you are#always felt like I had to preform#you tried to destroy something I love#just like my abuser did#I won’t let you do that#cry cry and cry more#that’s all you ever did#never took any damn repsoinsibility#and triangulated too#fuck you 🖕#I don’t ever want back in your server#-DAEMON

hm. i feel like I'm not unhinged enough for the past few days. here's my old-but-reworked omegaverse headcanon tier list.
#re zero#i actually was gonna look for my queer headcanon tier list but then i realised I'm bored. so.#putting my omegaverse scholar glasses on#firstly“pretends” doesnt really apply to crusch and felix. they are destroying these secondary genders with hammers i can tell you that muc#todd is an omega. fear about your Secret Identity being discovered.... classic omega archetype.#that adds to the conflict with subaru#also. subaru. raised in a shadow of his perfect alpha dad. riddled with complexes as a result.#similar deal with heinkel i think.#vincent as an asexual alpha......#emilia's alpha identity is scrutinized and stigmatized by society because satella also was an alpha#julius is the most beautiful beta subaru has ever seen. really out here slaying these stereotypes left and right#reinhard is a perfect alpha with a duty to continue the blood line of sword saints#regulus is deeply self-conscious about being an omega. stopping all bodily processes? seems very convenient#i actually haven't thought about what would their smells be like yet. hm. my mistake.#i think subaru would smell like a wet asphalt or gasoline or something else from earth and everybody would be like hey what a fuck is that#rem hates the smell of gasoline 😔😔😔#emiilia smells like frost. easy. traumatising.#julius smells like old books... or maybe steel#reinhard has a divine protection of perfect smell... every person who smells him smells their favourite scent#meanwhile reinhard adds that to his already long list with reasons for identity crisis#regulus probably smells like vanilla lmao

Ngl I can't focus on any of the feminist messaging when Lou Li is doing some heinous property damage
#tbhx#BRUH WHY#I know in my heart that she did not clean that ketchup off the window#and in her character intro video she destroyed the punching machine (and possibly the wall behind it) for no real reason#NO ONE EVEN GOADED YOU OR ANYTHING#some one in canon PLEASE call her out for this or something#have it be part of her character or something pls pls pls and not jsut be a quirky character thing#i hate property damage when it happens for no reason#at least with queen's fight she was fighting for her life#i mean... she still did damage a lot of things and didn't try to avoid things#but she at least was in a fight#lou li is just going to a bar and making the bar tender's life worse for no reason#from the audience pov she's just doing whatever she wants to do which is is an annoying character trait to me when there's no consequences#it could be interesting if the college grad tells her off at some point like#''it seems like you keep doing things like this to seem less cute because you don't want to compromise on your aesthetic#but all you're doing is just damaging things''#obviously not those words#but pleaseeeeee someone just make her pay for property damage or at least make her clean up#rambles by this machine#I JUST REMEMBERED THAT SHE ALSO STEPPED ON THE TABLE WITH HER NASTY OUTSIDE SHOWS#shoes*#its giving rich girl who never had other troubles other than identity ones#please have a retail job at some point luo li it could fix you 🙏

fighting the urge not to make this post. tags it is.
#my annoying 13 going on 30 take intensifies the whimsy in my eyes but probably kills it for everyone else#but i don't think of the concept as literal IN UNIVERSE. like for me there are 2 readings#which are just my personal preferences but as someone who found many aspects of childhood as foolish as they were happening#(for different reasons than jenna but still) the idea of waking up as a 30 year old suddenly is a realistic happenstance#you don't get any of your years when you act like that you just get The Destination you DO go from 13 to 30 in one day#now. the 2 diverging paths for me here are 1. you are in fact 30 and 2. you feel 30 on some warped spiritual level that doesn't actually#match the experience and you have 2 outcomes that both amount to the same thing. realising you're wrong to dismiss the Actual Whimsy#which is not the magic dust. it's your best friend GIVING you the magic dust#to me if jenna is actually 30 the happy ending aligns with what her mother says about the mistakes being necessary not something you should#return to and fix and my the other option and one that fits with the movie better is#going through this realisation that manifests as a film about you waking up older and how atrocious that would be#so you decide to learn from that IMMEDIATELY. the ending has to be super short to match the truth behind#the big photoshoot the one that features actual people#integral aspect of the narrative is that jenna can see this in her parents walking into her room with a CAMERA (matt nod <3)#wanting to capture her being 13 <3 and then it wraps with matt capturing them being 30 (presumably) and THEN you have those pictures#of jenna and matt as kids and adults AND of jenna's parents <3#it's the meeting madonna vs having a poster of madonna#this is messy but i had to say it :)#this is the best romcom ever because it erases it's identity as a romcom. it erases itself. destroys its own format literally says#the entirety of it doesn't exist and you shouldn't want it to. perfectly mirroring jenna's journey with the magazine#don't dreamm about what we're showing you here go live YOUR life. i love that.#dylanlila.mp3

There is something genuinely so annoying when a high art piece will go viral on TikTok and you'll have a bunch of people who are not willing to understand the context interacting with it bc it's "trendy".
Like- I am all for high art being more common and more people engaging with it, but I swear when something goes viral people's brains just turn off and even if they would have been willing to grow and learn something in the process, because it's just a funny internet thing now they just stop caring.
#I discovered Everywhere At The End Of Time about 6 months after it was a TikTok trend and the first song became a meme#and fucking hell- did I see some god-awful takes from people who did not understand the full context of the piece#like- it's perfectly fine if you didn't enjoy it but you do realize that this is an experimental piece about a real life illness right?#an always fatal degenerative illness that literally destroys your very identity?#a degenerative illness that destroys your brain so much that your body literally forgets how to function?#this isn't just some fucking creepy pasta music#but this really goes for any high art that I see go viral on TikTok#that fuckin 'I could do this myself' trend#like- okay bitch. then go do it yourself and go get it put in a gallery.

I'm a firm believer in unconditional positive regard and giving people the benefit of the doubt.
But I also believe in accepting when something is too much and too far. Just because you can accept someone enough to be kind to them, doesn't mean you have to turn the other cheek for their every misdeed or for boundary pushing.
I should have been done after the first couple strikes - using ai to replicate someone else's work, defending an abuser, toxic interpretations of objectively bad behavior in the name of religious ideology...
I overlooked some of these things because I wanted to believe in seeing the goodness underneath and giving back kindness that was given to me.
But I draw the line at cruelty.
I will not be complicit in, nor endorsing of, any form of cruelty.
We don't get to say what should and should not be a part of someone's identity. And not *personally* wanting to have the same kind of lifestyle as someone else is not justification for a) shaming, b) insulting, c) harming, or d) denying rights or voice to others.
And it is okay to deny someone access to your self or your works if it protects you from further harm. Blocking is not cruel.
Happy pride.
#you don't get to say what someone can and cannot celebrate about themselves#being queer is a huge part of ones self identity actually#dont like it dont look#but dont be surprised when your actions have consequences#mystra is really atrocious actually#and its explicitly stated that if gale uses the orb his SOUL IS DESTROYED so no he doesnt just get to go to dnd heaven actually#using ai to replicate a VAs voice for your own gain is basically theft actually#ranting#personal

Something that frustrates me is the way that video game remakes are treated—both by the industry and by players—as basically the same game as before or at least a “superior” substitute when they fundamentally aren’t. Imagine if people treated film remakes the same way. Would you say that watching the 2024 Nosferatu remake is the same experience as watching the original film? Or that there’s no reason to check out the original 1954 Godzilla now that we have Shin Godzilla?
I don’t mind it if people choose to play a remake over its original counterpart, play what you want, but it frustrates me to no end when they treat it as playing the same thing and that there’s “no reason” to go play the original version even when it’s readily available. While I’ve yet to properly dip my toes into the Metroid series, anyone who’s played both Metroid 2 and Samus Returns will tell you that they’re completely different games despite following roughly the same story. They’re both still 2D Metroid, but clearly made by different teams with different ideas for 2D Metroid. Even remakes that do their damndest to be faithful to the originals, such as the Live A Live remake, still end up featuring so many “modern” overhauls that they end up becoming a different experience, even if only slightly. My point is, treating remakes like they’re exact same thing as their predecessors is kind of a mistake. Even in the cases where they try to be as faithful as possible, there’s still bound to be a million little differences that set them apart. Which isn’t to say that I think there aren’t valid reasons for going for a remake instead, but treating them as 1-1 experiences that’ll be basically the exact same in every way is pretty demeaning to older games in my opinion.
Is this just the ranting of a DMC fan who’s sick and tired of people demanding a DMC1 remake because apparently a PS2 game from 2001 is “too old” for them to wrap their heads around? Yeah, but I think that’s just one example of the heavily flawed mindset that we approach remakes and older games with as a whole. There’s like five versions of the original Castlevania out there, but most still suggest starting with the first version because it’s the one that laid the foundation for everything else, every Castlevania follows in the footsteps of that one and if you wanna see how the series evolves with each entry, playing the later editions with gameplay, artwork and scripts inspired by said later entries won’t quite cut it. The reason people struggle to pick which version of Final Fantasy I to play is because there’s a million versions and they’ve all got differences that lead to there being no real “definitive” version. A remake of DMC1 made in the 2020s would have more in common with DMC5 than 1 and that’s not gonna be anywhere close to the same experience as playing the 2001 original. And I don’t want that hypothetical version of the game to inevitably become more popular because DMC1 is still one of the greats and I think anyone who loves action games owes it to themselves to check it out.
I guess my point is, don’t use remakes as an excuse for not playing an older game. You can just say you don’t wanna play it. If you actually wanted to play it, you’d try it with or without a remake.
Now game remasters and ports are a separate and more nuanced topic imo, but I just what you to know I’m not talking about that.
#r.i.p. to Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus fans tehy utterly destroyed your game’s’ visual identities in their remakes#this was a bit random and unfocused but fuck it I needed to get this rant out there#if older art is readily available to you and you wanna get into it just get into it#don’t give some lame excuse about it being too old and needing it filtered through modern conventions to get through it#if you need an older game to be remade into a newer one to play it you never actually wanted to play the older game#video games#rant#remakes#me rambles
