I'm just sayin', Starstruck and Kirby would be adorable. But also Starstruck and Meta-Knight might be the funniest thing you could possibly do. :)
hear me out: peter pan (2003) window scene
been staunchly avoiding typing too much on most of these but i have some thoughts about this one!
you know... i had actually never even considered kirby for the shipaganza. mostly because i think of him as holding such a strong and unique position in the hearts of everyone who knows him, in a way that is devout but also seems fairly romance-free. and i'm actually very interested in the complex relationships that he has with his friends! but i wonder if not considering him was maybe a disservice, because if anyone has an abundance of the capacity for love, it's him, right?
i think that kirby could eventually occupy a similar heart-space for starstruck as bandee, though it would take longer. i strongly suspect that bandee's love of kirby would rub off on her, if nothing else.
i'm not sure either of them... really understand the premise of romance or dating, so it might not be a typical sort of thing. but i think they could giggle and laugh together and shoot each other slightly smitten looks when the other one isn't paying attention, and be very invested in each others happiness.
he adds a pass by her window to his early morning flight, on the off chance she might be up to join him. she's always thinking of him when he's off saving the world, and distinguishes his star from all the others in the sky with ease. the irresistible allure of adventure vs someone who has never seen any of the wonders of your planet before. someone who finds as much unrestrained joy and delight in the mundane as you do. eating paper cups you find on the ground.
you know i could see it.
#my art#kirby#starstruck dee#🎀💖#you know the scene where she's hesitating in the window and the music starts and he shoots her The Most infectious smile of all time#that one!!!#does anyone remember this movie?#i think if kirby showed up in the window offering a whimsical adventure and a charming smile nobody would think twice.#when i made this comparison i could NOT stop thinking about it. peter and wendy are a little too romo coded for my tastes in general#but there's a beautiful feeling of choosing freedom and delight in that scene. and i think kirby COULD be a little cheeky!!#the part where he blows the fairy dust all over her? you know i considered it. considered drawing the whole thing. barely resisted.#is this one canon to her? yes. i think so but not romantically. and this visit might be a special circumstance.#he's a busy little guy; he doesn't take her as often as he might like. certainly not as much as SHE would like. but i think... yes.#at least once. as a treat.#you know what i think could also be cute? kirby/bandee/starstruck triad. drop a braincell haver (bandee) in there.#three circles who are absolutely insane about each other in a surprisingly similar way. i think it could work? yes? no? thoughts?#<- prompt it if you wanna see it i guess!#also... starstruck and meta knight..... we'll come back to that! we'll circle right around. boy howdy will we circle back to *that*.#*laughs nervously*

if you’ve ever wondered why i am the way that i am just know that i was raised by a man who built a 1:1 scale model of mont saint-michel in survival mode minecraft over the course of several years with nothing but google maps screenshots of the place. and he refuses to put the fucking thing on youtube
#my father is basically one of those insane minecraft build youtubers#except he does it exclusively for his own enjoyment and never shows anyone except his wife and children.#this is not the only gigantic monument build he’s done. he did some famous hotel and a bunch of bhuddist monuments also#and like. some cathedral i want to say. can’t remember#all in the same world. all on survival mode. completely vanilla no cheats or worldmods whatsoever#so anyway. that’s why i’m capable of writing 46 pages straight of video game character analysis. the obsessiveness runs in the family#personal

IMAGINE. working at ur stupid uhhh job or whatever. pulling into your drive way and ready to work on some crazy project in your garage. opening the door to the most unfamiliar silence. did your wife and kid leave for something? could you imagine knocking on your kids door, hardly getting an answer, and opening it to find the splattered remains of your wife across his room your child is scared! hes hardly consolable, in a state of shock and terror. you are too, but youre the adult here. you need to take charge. you need to protect him. you need to do something. you need to do something.

was kinda thinking about this when I saw Renee Rapp live recently-- I didn't know her visual vibe, I'd heard a few songs here and there but I hadn't really *seen* her, and her attire at Osheaga was really casual, a jersey (baseball/basketball?) and slacks. And that was so amazing! I couldn't help thinking, the work Billie Eilish has done for how women in pop music are allowed to dress is incredible. Seeing her up there all comfortable you just know that Billie walked in her oversized tops so that Renee in her slacks could run; Billie walked through all the critcisms about how she dressed slobbily and having to assert that she didn't owe anyone a display of skin, so that Renee could be comfortable and unquestioned running up and down the catwalk in front of 10,000 people. How iconic.
And I don't think we even realised at the time how much something as simple as letting Billie dress the way she as a (then-) 17-year-old teenager dressed, could end up meaning for a future generation of women in music.
Obviously there is still way to go, there were weirdos complaining about how 'plain' Dua Lipa's Glastonbury outfit was this year (in 2024!!), l have to ask, are you at Paris Fashion Week?? She is the musical HEADLINER of an entire day of music at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, and you can't grant her the space to exist as an artist, you have to moan about her dress not being excitingly revealing enough. There's work to do, it's still dismal out there. But the space Billie Eilish has created for a most ordinarily-dressed woman popstar is still heartening.
#music#rambling away; I'll log off#man. I remember how on the other hand when I was going to my first ever gig my guitar teacher said to me#notice how plainly he's dressed? No frills. His music speaks for himself.#(The musician in question was Slash and apart from his very recognisable hat and sunglasses; he was wearing a plain white t-shirt with a#minnie mouse graphic print in the centre. I think sometimes about how not even women in rock music are afforded that.#Like this is a thing across genres#With the exception of Franz Ferdinand for whom Alex has actually said in interviews that they treated FF gigs as nights out#and so dressed like they'd be dressed for a club night out--#most other guy bands are like *picked a tee off the floor*#whereas the girls in bands I've seen-- even literally just local musicians-- the girls in our local rock bands feel compelled to#dress like it's graduation day#Like we had this really cool local band-- singer's a girl in second year of uni#keeping up with the fact that they were playing like RHCP and Muse covers on stage; fast stuff--#she was up there in a delicate dress and heels and stomping across stage n all#and the rest of her band; dudes; were quite comfortable in their t-shirts#like of course she made a choice herself and was more than capable of stomping in heels--I mean I've seen Phoebe from Lambrini Girls#JUMP OFF a 5-ft platform stage while wearing 3-inch block heels. And in a party dress!#But then again Lambrini Girls genuinely are freaks of nature and I envy anyone who's going to see them open for Amyl & the Sniffers rn#bc that's an EXPLOSIVE combo. Nonetheless. I was saying.#Part of it certainly comes from a normalisation of just superhuman strength; balance + praying there's no malfunction with your skirt#which DOES happen at rock shows more frequently than you'd imagine. It's just if you're in a good crowd they'll pretend they saw nothing#but it's certainly more practical to gig in sneakers and trousers lol. From experience!#billie eilish#renee rapp#women in music#pop music#dua lipa#Also like Billies doing it for the pop lesbians#lesbian

I think I'm still. slightly in shock that the anniversary announcement was actually two-related tbh??
like obviously the 50th had a bunch of new two content with enemy of the world and (most of!) the web of fear being found, we had the tales from the tardis short, lots of little references over the years. but on the other hand with so many episodes missing/a relative lack of big finish content compared to the later classic who doctors/new novels for classic who doctors sort of having vanished, I do sometimes feel like this era gets a bit. passed over. as if it's too hard to engage people with the original content because it's black-and-white/missing/wobbly sets and effects or whatever the reasoning is, so we'll focus on the more marketable stuff instead.
so to actually have the big Thing for the anniversary be two-related without the coincidence of episodes being found (tho I would still love that, all episodes of the highlanders recovered immediately please and thank you) is just. ??????. !!!!!!.
#second doctor#idk i mighttttt be biased bc i do not care about the animations at all lmao#and ik that has been a fairly significant source of content for two-era recently. i just don't like them :(#but it's just like!#not the First Era (tho i feel like one gets a little passed over as well. one fans i am holding your hand)#so misses out on that bit of promo#but still just a little bit Too Early#like as rtd says in the media release for this he was 6 when the war games aired#old enough to remember some stuff#but not old enough to actually Properly imprint on it like he evidently did w/ three and four for instance#(which shows in like. everything he did w/ sarah jane for instance)#& i think a lot of the people feeding into official content rn are of similar ages if not younger#idk. does anyone else feel this way about two era#i could be talking nonsense who knows!!!#i am just out here Saying Things

Watched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind a few nights ago and I loved it so much. Obsessed with all the metaphors and the symbolism. When Kushana said she wanted to destroy the toxic jungle in order for humans to rule the world again, but we know or can guess that humans trying to gain too much power is probably the exact reason why the toxic jungle is so dangerous. And then we learn that the jungle itself isn't toxic, it's just the soil and water that has been poisoned by human activity!! And the fact that the forest actually purifies the water! And of course Nausicaä discovers this by going into the jungle and learning about it. She's a hero because she studies ecology.
I also loved the theme of the danger of violence, and also Nausicaä trying so hard to stay as pacifist as is feasible even when violence is so tempting. During the battle in the castle in the Valley of the Wind when Tolmekian soldiers are invading, Nausicaä fights them off but she's blocked by Yupa and her sword goes through his arm. My friend was like "surely if he's a master swordsman he knows not to block with his arm?" but I was like "No it shows the damage of violence and how war hurts everyone!!" Another moment that seemed really key to me was when the Tolmekian airship was getting attacked and Nausicaä goes to steal a gunship. Kushana sees her and smiles because she thinks Nausicaä is going to use this ship for battle, that she's been seduced by violence, but then Nausicaä uses that ship to save Kushana! She transforms this weapon into a vehicle of peace, when using it for violence would be so easy, she chooses a different path and that scares Kushana more than anything, which is why she tries to take back control using her gun in the toxic jungle, even though Nausicaä knows that this is only going to cause more suffering. Of course there's the ending where she stops the stampeding Ohm not by force but by empathy, taking the pain of the baby Ohm onto herself when she goes into the acid lake trying to save it, and her dress is stained from it's blood, symbolically allowing its suffering to change her so she can understand it, bringing peace by sacrificing herself, not the Ohm (honestly you could read Nausicaä as a sort of Christ-figure but that's a whole other post). For me, a big thing that really resonated with me and drove in the idea of choosing peace over violence even when it's really hard was every time that Nausicaä cried. Every time she cried I felt like I understood the frustration and feelings of powerlessness so vividly. When she tells Yupa she's going to cut off the water to her underground plants so that they die, just like how the jungle is going to die, because the Tolmekians are stronger and forcing them to go along with the plan, and I could *feel* the anger that everything she'd worked so hard for would be destroyed because she wasn't powerful enough to stop it. And this feeling of helplessness is so similar to when she tried to hide a baby Ohm but it was killed by her own people and her own father. And when she learned of Pejite's plan to use the Ohm to destroy the valley of the wind and she just cant convince these people not to murder her valley. And when she sees the baby Ohm and how much it's been injured and she says something like "I'm so sorry for what we did to you" whilst crying... I felt that so much. And all the time it's because she realises the value in all life, and she can't convince people who see life as worthless compared to their greed, but because she knows life is so valuable she can't respond with violence, but her path of always valuing life works in the end! She doesn't need any weapons when she has compassion and ecology.
#nausicaä of the valley of the wind#studio Ghibli#I'm going to reread the manga my sister has it. This was always her favourite Ghibli film she has such good taste#I think the fact that I can remember all the times Nausicaä cries in the film despite having watched it like a week ago shows how impactful#it was. Usually when I'm watching anime I get annoyed at protagonists who cry too much or do stupid things but I didn't feel like that in t#least when watching this. Everything Nausicaä does comes from this compassion and frustration at others for not feeling the same that is so#relatable? Or understandable or just something that really resonates. To anyone who cares about nature or who has been a child and felt#frustrated at adults for not caring enough. Anyway Nausicaä makes me happy about all the times I've saved insects#like this one time I had to beg my aunt to let me save a wasp that was drowning. I'm not quite saving a whole valley and a forest from#destruction but I think Nausicaä would be proud.#Anyway I'm going to bed night night

I'm gonna have to wait out a few weeks to be able to complain about jjk's ending bc rn half the ppl are bashing everyone who expected more as ppl who just wanted gojo back
#jjk 271#like no I can read I understood that gojo was gone for good from 236 bUT we can still talk about#how a grown ass man and his grown ass friends deciding how they were at 16 was their perfect forms.#before they made all the important life changing decisions. is a regression right#like can we talk about how the narrative just glosses over geto's whole entire life after hs WHERE HE WAS A GENOCIDAL MANIAC#and pretends like no one would even side eye him about that???#that's fucking regression#you're scaling his character back bc you don't want to address the root reasonwhy he went that route#and it's perfectly fine when an author doesn't want to get too political in their work it's their right I get it#but it does make me upset where the whole entire story up until here the author has been beating us over the head with leftist messaging-#- only to throw it away and settle for a 'oh I didn't mean ACTUAL revolution or changes that would rock the boat for REAL'#bc let's face it. the conditions that made people like geto and sukuna happen are still fucking there they just skipped this generation#these kids are still going to be sent out when a special grade curse shows up and some of them are still gonna die tragically early#to put yuuji as the leader of gojo's dream is isolating and a burden on JUST YUUJI (WHY WERE THE OTHER STUDENTS NOT THERE)#to make yuuji the sole messenger of gojo's will is frankly WEIRD gojo wanted these kids to look out for one another#he had nothing to say to anyone else???#yuuji's been accidentally burdened with the weight of gojo's dream now ON HIS OWN#HE IS A KID#literally nothing's changed at the end#also see how I didn't talk about gojo on his own here bc the problems are so glaring that they shine through even side characters#WHY IS NANAMI A KID IN THE AIRPORT IS THAT THE VERSION OF HIMSELF HE WAS CONTENT WITH???#or did they all have to be aged down to match haibara even though making the choice to show the ones that lived as grown would've made it-#-more impactful#A twenty seven yr old nanami sitting next to the fifteen yr old haibara would've been soul crushing right?#also why have nanami be the only one that talks like he remembers his adulthood BUT NOT GETO#WHY TAKE AWAY SUCH A HUGE PART OF GETO#YOU COULD'VE HAD THAT BE A CONVERSATION AND HAVE PEOPLE FORGIVE HIM#the more I think about the ending the more things I find to nitpick further back too#gege I love you but please I hope you negotiate a more flexible time in your next contract I hope they don't burn you out again#bc jjk is going to be an ending which I will frankly ignore and just go with 'sukuna won and it was terrible' in my head instead

scrolling through an old word document and I came across the squeeblin screenshots I forgot I took
why does it look LIKE THAT?! why does it have a human face?! why does it only look half animated?! why is it almost see through? it looks like it belongs in the Blackwood not Glipwood Forest!
Even before it opens its mouth it looks WEIRD
the HECK is this Wingfeather people? who forgot to finish animating the squeeblin?! I am CONCERNED for its health and wellbeing. I know you were in a rush but this thing is nightmare fuel please fix it
#the wingfeather saga#the wingfeather saga tv show#why does it look demented#does anyone remember the annoying orange? because when it smiles that's all I can see#I haven't rewatched the episodes on the dvd yet but I HOPE they fixed this before they put it on the dvd because yikes#I remember watching this the first time like 'WHAT is that THING what is WRONG with it?!'#those are still my thoughts#tbh it wouldn't have been jarring but everything else was beautiful and flawlessly animated except for tiny random mistakes#so this was like getting slapped#also to be clear I'm not mad about it#I think this is HILARIOUS#just in a very disturbing way xD#I stumbled upon it and just started laughing it's so absurd xD

well the poll hasnt ended yet but im sorry once again to those of you that wanted me to be more responsible. im seeing those bitches again as close as i possibly can
#old man musicians are forever...... remember this#in all honesty its like. i would feel bad if i didnt go. now did i have to be That Close? apparently so#i am very much hoping (unfortunately this may involve an inquiring phone call) that this resale ticket does include the vip stuff. please#and like i was recently reminded again how like when genesis had that last go round reunion tour thing and i conceivably could have gone#but i didnt. to be fair id i think like just started my new job and like all that and i hadnt started making new job money#so its not like i had the best opportunity but you get it. i felt bad i didnt see those guys especially considering how much genesis meant#and still means to me. and its the same w ade and 80s crimson#like at the show hearing certain songs i was reminded of how i like took or changed lines and put em into poetry i wrote at the time#and adrians songwriting meant so much to me then and still does now. but anyway to make a long story short (too late!)#time and money are fleeting and old man musicians are forever and more importantly fun life experiences n memories are what its all about!#oh also does anyone want the other ticket lmao. do you know anyone who does#if youd like to go to the nyc show. Hit Me Up . please lol id like to get Something for this ticket

oh god wait. so if the episodes are "days" to the puppets, and traditionally, new episodes air once per week... then are the puppets only ever awake for one day per week? if that, cause wouldn't episodes only be about an hour long, probs less? so they're awake for however long it takes to film one episode, and then they sleep until the next.
and if Wally doesn't sleep...
#h. hold on a second hold. i need a minute hold on-#is wally awake and alone in the dark for a week at a time#waiting for his next chance to see his friends. to see anyone at all other than Home#how does it feel to him when he goes an episode - maybe multiple without seeing certain neighbors#bc it was implied on the website that some episodes don't have every character interact with wally during his shenanigans#oh fuck and if the show Ended... and he continued on... how many years has he been in the empty dark with only creaks for company#sobs loudly i cant do this-#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#i really hope they get to be awake each 'day'#i put it in quotes bc wasnt it also implied that their days are vastly different from ours#but they probably arent. theyre probably sleeping for a full week at a time#clawing at the walls over this im so emotional#do you think wally like... goes to their houses to visit them while they sleep#hm now im remembering that barnaby and wally sleepover piece clown drew#and im seeing it in an Entirely new and Vastly More Sad light

Wip Wednesday
Yes, of course. It's Wednesday. That's why I'm posting. Yes.
Tagged by @hannah-heartstrings <3 love you :3
Have a new wip for a change. It's a short one and more lay back. This is the story of why they call you Hero of Kvatch. Around 300 words.
The sun was setting. Sky was red like flames, startling the people of Kvatch. The gate had been closed for a while, but their fear hadn't gone. They all sit at the bottom of the mountain, waiting for the nightmare to end.
“It’s Captain Matius! They’re back!” Ilav pointed up. A small group of people were coming down.
“We lost Count Goldwine. This is indeed a dark day for all of us, but thanks to our hero, the Daedra has been slayed, and we have retaken our city.” Captain Matius presented someone to the crowds. An Altmer in a green robe, face covered under a hood.
“Does our hero have a name?” Asked Martin. The mer was still looking down. He grabbed his arm, looked up once, and stared at the floor again. Everyone at the camp quieted down, then he finally spoke.
“I don't have a name.” The mer’s voice was shaky, “Just call me anything you like.”
Martin did not expect this answer. Strange, but every man- wait. Every mer's life was their own business. He could respect that.
“How about we call you… Daedra Slayer?” One of the guards suggested, then everyone joined the naming game.
“The Yellow Fury.”
“Oblivion Gatekeep.”
“Hero of Kvatch.”
“Savior of Nirn.”
“Um... don't you think those titles sound… too grand…?” The mer asked meekly. Everyone quieted down again.
“How about Friend of Kvatch?” Martin gave him a warm smile. A pair of green eyes met Martin’s. He didn’t know what the mer was searching for, but in the end, the mer nodded.
“It’s settled, then. On behalf of all citizens of Kvatch, we thank you, Friend of Kvatch.” The crowd cheered.
The mysterious stranger wanted to keep his secrets, and that’s fine. Martin only hoped he understood their gratitude, and knew he would always be welcome here.
“I still think ‘Hero of Kvatch’ is better.” Said the Imperial Legion Soldier. Martin heard him mumble in the back, declaring he’d keep using that title. Rude, but Martin would respect that.
#tag games#wip wednesday#wip whenever#and yes the imperial legion soldier end up using the name hero of kvatch to all his colleague#and that's why every legion soldier you met know you and call you hero of kvatch#the entire fic was created bc i think of the joke oblivion gatekeep#i'm not very sure but does our player's name ever show up in game?#i remember in skyrim. you can introduce yourself as saying your name in dialogue choice. and some letters have your name on it#and your name is everywhere in morrowind (and daggerfall actually)#but i don't remember seeing our name in oblivion?#i don't think anyone know our name and they're all very respectful for that matter XD#hok#tes oc#oc: Acelta#martin septim#tes
