#dropping the ball

[russilton]

Do you ever just like, get the urge to be around your friends but you don’t have the energy to contribute to a conversation or act presentable

I just want to lie in the middle of a room with all my friends around me. Doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they’re just there, being them. So rather than worrying as replies go unanswered becuase I’m exhausted and so overstimulated, I just… exist, involved. I think that’s the dream y’know.

Happy Hogmanay! You are probably wondering… What the heck is Hogmanay? Well, the wiki definition is below… Long story short… It’s New Year’s Eve… Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year (Gregorian calendar) in the Scottish manner. It is normally followed by a further celebration on the morning of New Year’s Day (1 January) or,…

Seeing a trend of team strategy screwing their drivers over

i'm haunted by the detail that big ajax uses hector's sword to kill himself. after their duel in book 7 hector and ajax trade the sword and a belt, respectively, in friendship but the cycle of violence goes inevitably on, revenge is enacted from beyond the grave, and hector gets one last kill even after he and achilles are both dead.

it fucks me up even more in the versions where hector is tied to achilles' chariot using ajax' belt. not to mention the possibility of myth variations where the chariot-dragging IS the method of execution, and not something done to hector post-mortem, which would make ajax directly complicit in hector's death.

it's a spiral of dominoes: hector kills achilles' closest companion which makes achilles kill hector which makes hector's brother kill achilles which makes achilles' friend kill himself with hector's weapon. doesn't thinking about it make you crazy!

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

Fun hair stuff bc I’m sad ab what ASOIAF could have given us:

(All these fun posts can be found under #asoiaf hair and clothing) (go from the tag on this post instead of searching it on my page bc not all of them will show up :/)

(Also here’s the sequel with clothing)

(More hair styles) here’s some free cities ones

(All of this was found on Pinterest! I usually search traditional clothings from diff cultures!)

Is this not a fancy Baratheon woman who can’t wear her hair down bc the wind at storms end won’t allow it

Give the Dothraki cool beads and headwear to denote status!! Give them little additions to their culture!!

Let the northern women cover their heads their ears are COLD George

The Braavosi should wear shells and pearls bc they live by the sea god damnit

True love or whateva

I think all Leos would follow each other around like ducks

Mutant Mayhem Leo follows Rise Leo because omg he's so confident and doesn't get stressed and is so chill how does he do it?????

Rise Leo follows 2012 Leo because omg he's such a good leader, splinter respects him and his brother's listen to his plans and he brings so much value to the team how does he do it?????

2012 Leo follows 2007 Leo because omg he went on a solo training mission to become a better leader maybe I could get some tips! (don't)

2007 Leo follows 2003 Leo because omg he's LITERALLY 2003 LEO THAT'S SO COOL

You get the picture.

Also these are all the first impressions I think they'd have of each other not how they actually are!

If DC was at all smart they would have spent the last two decades marketing Barbara Gordon as THE icon for women in stem and computer science.

They introduced a powerful, cool super heroine whose whole thing is being super smart and being (one of) the best programmer(s) in the entire DC universe in the 80s and they didn't think to capitalise on this?? In a time where there is a large push to get more girls into coding and STEM and many portrayals of the tech industry barely include women (much less as awesome, confident leaders)??

I've seen transphobes all over the place on other social media huffing copium about how they don't hate Wuk Lamat's English VA (and the entire character by extension) because she's trans but because her delivery is "flat and emotionless" and like objectively, no it's fucking not lmao
