missed his lighter hair era a bit
#ts4#sims 4#the sims 4#sims#simblr#breeze nsb legacy extra#oc: ross#for those who weren't here abt 5 years ago#he was turned as an older man so his hair was a bit lighter colour#but he 'got younger' during the transformation#well his hair stayed. and he has a tiiiiny little bit of wrinkles. just a little bit barely noticeable but he has them (and i love that btw#then he got burnt to ashes lol what a time#and when he was brought back for some reason the game gave him his original haircolour#which i'm not complaining about bc it's such a nice colour. one of my faves#but the lighter hair was a vibe too#he also really pulls off black imo but he never canonically had black hair. not even dyed#blonde was a vibe too. i think he briefly had that after i accidentally deleted the recolour and then put in the wrong one lol#did i ever bleach his hair for a picture to like really pale blond white or something. don't think so. well. well...#you know what's coming your way soon because of course it is#for reasons. iykyk#listen it's canon that every media that has a vampire in it that i'm obsessed with ross is also obsessed with. soooo yeah

This is not prepared at all, so it's likely going to be messier than usual, but I was in the shower earlier thinking about the Golden Girls (as one does) and I drew a couple of conclusions on the topic of how many children does Blanche actually have? that I wanted to share with you all.
So, first of all, let me sum up the controversy. The issue lies with one of Blanche's statements in S3E3 Bringing Up Baby, when she's trying to convince Dorothy to keep the Mercedes she bought with the money they'll supposedly get after Baby's death:
"I want that car, Dorothy. I will give you anything. [...] I'll give you one of my sons. I have given this a lot of thought. I have had four kids, I have never had a Mercedes."
Ok, everything tracks so far. Blanche has had four kids, some of which are sons. We meet her two daughters, Janet and Rebecca, a few times during the series, so the natural conclusion is that Blanche has four kids, two sons and two daughters.
Which is great, except... her next line in S3E3 is this:
"What do you say? Which one do you want? Biff, Doug, Skippy? No, don't take Skippy, he's got asthma."
She names a Biff, a Doug, and a Skippy, so... three sons. Which, in addition to the two daughters we see in the show, makes for a grand total of five kids. Huh.
Alright, we know that Blanche wasn't the best mother ever, but I find it hard to believe that she forgot how many children she has, so: what's going on here? The obvious explanation is, as always, that this is a continuity error (although it's a really egregious one!), but you folks know I prefer to find a Watsonian explanation wherever I can, so let's see if we can figure out anything interesting.
One thing that struck me when I first realized this discrepancy is her use of the words 'I have had four kids'. Not I have, I have had. Why does she use the past tense here? The sentence flows better with it, but it doesn't make a lot of sense in-universe -- unless you think that she's using 'to have a child' to mean 'to bear a child'. If that's the case, then what she's saying translates to 'I have physically given birth to four kids, I have never had a Mercedes.'
I'm sure I don't have to point out the implications of this, do I? If the number of kids Blanche has given birth to is four, but her total number of kids is five, then that means that one of her kids is not hers in the strictly physical sense, i.e. one of Blanche's kids is adopted. This would solve the discrepancy without breaking the canon elsewhere (as far as I can tell, at least).
For a while, this idea remained in the back of my head to examine at a later date, because it still has a number of issues to work through. For one, why would Blanche (and supposedly George) adopt a child? They had kids of their own apparently without any issues -- why adopt another child, instead of, well... making another child, if they wanted one more? I guess it's possible that fertility issues might have arisen at some point, but that seems unlikely for a number of reasons; that kind of problem is generally genetic in nature, and it tends to be diagnosed upon first try, not after four successful pregnancies. So, then... why?
I was stuck on this point for a long while, until I suddenly remembered this conversation between Blanche and Virginia, her younger sister, during S5E11 Ebb Tide:
"I remember when you were 16 and didn't come home for Father's Day." "I was away at school!" "Oh, yes. The Good Samaritan Academy for the Knocked-Up. Two, four, six, eight, all us girls are three months late."
It seems Virginia got into a spot of trouble when she was 16, and was away 'at school' for a while to take care of it. While this might imply that she was sent away to have an abortion, there's also space to hypothesize that she was sent away to carry her pregnancy to term and actually have a baby to then give out to adoption. If this is the case... I wonder if this baby is the one that Blanche and George adopted?
While an adoption seems a bit out of character for young!Blanche (to me, at least: she wasn't interested in her kids, why would she agree to adopt another one?), I think there's some space to consider it. For one, George might have convinced her! We don't know enough about the man to draw clear conclusions, but he did send money to the one child he had out of matrimony (see S5E18 An Illegitimate Concern), so maybe he feels more responsible towards kids near him than Blanche did -- and, well, if he'd asked, Blanche would have agreed immediately, of course. I feel like Big Daddy might have also played a part in this scenario: he could have wanted to keep the child in the family (a Hollingsworth is still a Hollingsworth!), and asked the youngest married couple among his children to take on the responsibility, to shield Virginia from the shame.
Note that this theory has a few issues anyway. For one, while Virginia is Blanche's junior, according to Wikipedia she's only one year her junior, which would put Blanche at 17 when all this happened -- and we know she met and married George much later, when she was already a university student (see S6E9 Mrs George Devereaux). However, I can't find any confirmation for this difference in age in the show itself, so I feel like the hypothesis still deserves some consideration.
As for which of Blanche's children is adopted, well... we can for sure rule out the boys, since she mentions them all by name in S3E3. This leaves her two daughters, Janet and Rebecca. All throughout the series Blanche has a rocky and painful relationship with Janet, even more than she has with the rest of her children:
I would love to have a chance to raise David. I might make up for the mess I made with Janet. [S1E6 On Golden Girls]
Well, honey, I really do want to see you. I think we have a lot to talk about, Janet. I've been thinking a lot about you, lately. [S2E16 And Then There Was One]
"I just talked to my daughter, Janet, and she and my granddaughter, Sarah, are coming to visit in a couple of days. Oh, I've never been so happy!" "Janet? Isn't she the daughter who hates you?" "[...] She doesn't really hate me, Sophia. We just don't see eye to eye." [S7E23 Home Again, Rose: Part 1]
As for Rebecca, while we know they stopped talking for a few years due to a disagreement, she seems remarkably closer to her:
We were always so much alike, and so close, just like Siamese twins. [...] I have missed her. She's always been my favourite. [S3E14 Blanche's Little Girl]
Although Rebecca herself seems to have a different perception on their relationship:
You're not happy, Mama. You're doing it again, you're telling me how to live! [...] Nothing's ever enough for you. I had to be the prettiest, I had to be the most popular, I had to be the brightest... [S3E14 Blanche's Little Girl]
I think there's two possible theories here, neither of which paints Blanche in a good light (but hey, we love these characters because of their qualities as well as their faults, don't we?). If Janet is the child she adopted, I think it's possible she might have been especially neglectful towards her (especially in her first few years); she might have taken her frustration with being convinced to adopt her out on her, as a lack of affection when compared to her other kids. This would explain why the relationship between them is so fraught (certain wounds last a lifetime, I'm afraid).
If Rebecca is the child she adopted, on the other hand, she might have wanted to overcompensate for her abandonment and sort of one-up Virginia ('see, how well I can take care of your daughter? aren't I the better mom?'). She might have showered her with affection (and with expectations, judging from what Rebecca says!) to the detriment of her other kids, which would explain the issues in her relationship with Janet as well.
I don't know. It's obviously very clear that, for all her faults, Blanche adores her children and is deeply pained by her mistakes as a mother; she often expresses regret for her actions and wishes she'd been a better mother:
I realized, too late, that I'd put myself ahead of my children. I've never made up all the time I didn't spend with them. [...] deep down, I wish you were really mine. So I could try again with what I now know. [S2E16 And Then There Was One]
For all that might have happened in the past, it's evident that Blanche loves all her children equally and considers all of them her own, so she's clearly gotten over any issues she might have had -- but that doesn't excuse her past actions, of course.
There's a whole lot that could be said about Blanche's approach to motherhood, how it connects to the way her parents treated her as a child and to her own internal issues, but as for the question of how many children she has, I feel like this is a satisfying possible answer. It's not airtight by any means, and I'm sure there's other ways to explain the discrepancy (they might have adopted a child from George's side of the family, for one, which would change a lot of dynamics); this is just the one that occurred to me. As always, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts, so do let me know your ideas about all this!
#god i love blanche so much. psychoanalyzing her is so much fun#i honestly don't know. this is not as canon-compatible as my deductions usually are but it's at least *interesting* enough to share#i'm sure there's probably better explanations than this though. i feel like an adoption has to be involved somewhere#i can't see any other way to explain the 4/5 discrepancy? i briefly thought one of her kids might have transitioned#but that doesn't work for a number of reasons#maybe i'm just not seeing something. do let me know if you have any thoughts about all this i'd love to read them!#even within this theory there's lots of other stuff to consider. for example: does the child in question know? do the other children?#i think the answer is *no* but who knows?#and also: do the girls know about it? and if so how did they react?#i mean -- dorothy also got into trouble when she was very young and rose is an orphan who was adopted into a family#they're bound to have interesting reactions to this sort of thing#but well. this is all from me for now#ta-ta to you all!#the golden girls#blanche devereaux

Truce - Ch3 Preview 2/?
This is in reference to this. I’m agog that I’d somehow forgotten to share this upcoming scene in Truce its entirety—when I thought I had. Honest mistake, luvs. I shall rectify it immediately.
A snippet of my favorite part from this lil interview section:
“Not to worry. Between you and me”—the chair creaked as he leaned in, lips quirked sideways, his brows expressive, and his hand hovering beside his cheek—“Butcher and I got a secret bromance happening behind the scenes, I tell you what.” The discreet Lavalier microphone clipped somewhere on Homelander’s supersuit had picked up the hushed whisper, making the audio crisp and clear. Thirteen different camera angles captured Jimmy’s brows shooting up. He repeated, “A bromance.” “Yep. A bromance for the ages. Color me stoked.” The plastic shell of his features melted away, resembling a more complete flesh-and-blood human. Easing back into his seat, Homelander said, “I just think, like with any large and aggressive attack dogs, as owners we have a responsibility to properly train and socialize them. Now I don’t own a dog myself but if I did, I would keep my mutt on a short leash—and obedient only to me. He won’t bite, not unless I tell him to.”
The full scene the snippet belongs to:
A/N - I’m sure y’all remember Jimmy Fallon’s cameo in S1. It only makes sense to replace Translucent with Homelander now. I originally considered Cole Cameron to ask the hard hitting questions, but he dies in S4 (thanks, Ashley). So I elected to not go with him.
And the line about Butcher not being caped but quite clearly dark is lifted from the comics, as a lil Easter egg ;) but I changed it from Black Noir to Billy because Homelander’s doubling down on the lie/ cover story that he’s the one who “reached out his hand and brought Billy back from the path of villainy by inviting him into the Seven” 🙄
*Note: as always, keep in mind this is taken from an earlier draft; so there may be a couple changes in the final draft that’ll be posted to AO3 when the chapter’s ready. But this sneak peek is pretty much as close to its final draft iteration as you'll see.
(Chapters 1-2 can be read on AO3)
#butchlander#homelander#billy butcher#the boys#the boys amazon#the boys tv#billy butcher x homelander#no I shalln’t share the paragraphs before that describe what a man Billy’s cooking beef wellington in the kch wearing frenchie’s fancy apro#it will be a treat when y’all can read it in full ;)#this isn’t even the wildest thing HL says in this ch so I don’t mind sharing this haha#lying to the cameras to sell that he is the best of chums with his new secret crush#he’s selling the homoerotism for the fans and is it any wonder the hashtag butchlander began to trend in the ‘Truce’ universe?#season 4 what season 4 *please* we’re still in post-season 3 territory#there are only kernels of S4 canon easter eggs dropped in ch3 & 4 (and maybe more if I decide to convert this PWP fourshot to a longfic)#but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there (for now it’s just 4 chapters as god intended; the rest would be considered bonus content#after the main story (aka the four chapters); the longfic will only happen if S4 makes me mad or I get brainworms#I’d talked briefly about wit I’d do if I’d made Truce into a longfic b4 & spoiler alert: we’d delve into the emotional knives territory#plus a wedding epilogue because they deserve a happy ending & I like happy endings#chapter preview#preview#truce#this ch is taking forever 😔 but I swear it’s worth it luvs

did the “evil artstyle” trend that’s been going around twitter. this. this hurt me.
+ some bonus alts with overlays that made the colors brighter bc it feels illegal to draw like this and use such desaturated colors
#mfb#metal fight beyblade#beyblade metal fight#beyblade metal fusion#dan sodo#reiki sodo#the stylization itself is basically just how I drew a few years ago#briefly when I wanted to experiment with a more cartoony style#it’s fun I gotta bring it back every now and again#the colors however. hurt me.#this also made me realize how hard the sodo twins’ canon hairstyle is to draw#you wouldn’t think it would be but it’s oddly specific in a way that’s hard to make look right#ALSO#MY FIRST TIME USING PURE BLACK LINEART IN LIKE 5EVER#EVEN WHEN JTS REALLY DARK ITS USUALLY A SLIGHT OFF BLACK IT FELT WEIRD GOING ALL TEH WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE COLOR SELECTOR THIS TIME

augh who up feeling like they should be humanely euthanised for liking media the wrong way... sorry for fandomising certain characters but not fandomising others enough in the right way.
#ive noticed the wbg fandom has a very different way of interacting w the source media than like. dndads#both are similar in some of the fandomising of characters#specifically like funny characterisation stuff#but when it comes to more complex stuff like angst it feels like the wbg fandom approaches from a different layer#eg in dndads just a characters death is seen is sad but for wbg a lot of the time theres more to it...#an extra layer. a more complex flavour. the horrors are not just those experienced but the entire surrounding situation.#like edgars death isnt sad#i mean. its not sad in the way that referencing it in art will get any attention#but TJ's death is devastating!#with notable exceptions of course. eg innocent hunter and like everything about him#i find that i tend to approach media more stylistically and appreciating the DRAMA which i can mine for visuals#and then in my art i try to challenge myself to translate those vibes#like picking at a thread that is already present. an angst or dynamic already present and explored briefly#but wbg fandom tends to lean more towards analysis? which makes the way i engage feel a bit surface level#like in wbg fandom i dont think i can do the eqiuvalent of all my angsty glenn close art#also i just noticed. the characters in wbg are really interesting because you THINK they#wouldn't be very fandomised. that theyd be treated within the show as more like characters that exist to push the plot forward#but then certain characters act as very fandomised versions of themselves in canon#and are treated as their one trait in the qnas too!!#its like theyre almost dndads characters in this way. but without even that extra layer#the second heat that even like henry oak has! like henry's a hippie but he's also stinky and cringe and is repressing so much shit#but marissa is just explosions girl#i guess that's maybe cuz many characters in wbg arent main characters but in dndads they all are#BUT EVEN NPC HERMIE. HIS LAYERS.#very interesting

sometimes I think "am I overplaying Selene's mind powers a little" and then I re-read the spell list and remember that no, ciphers just Do That
#oc: watcher selene#pillars of eternity#ciphers literally will pirate your skills from your brain in real time while fighting and then use them against you#and friendly ciphers will literally briefly form a hive mind with you to help you fight better#they're just. Like That#even the casual use of telepathy is canon

i think shoujo cosette has opened my eyes up to the potential of the sibling dynamic between gavroche and cosette and thank the stars because. they're adorable
#shoujo cosette#like genuinely i think i briefly considered it when i was watching bits and pieces of 2018 but now.#this is even better thanks#victor hugo should have let it be canon i think#also javert had such a dramatic entrance my fucking gog i love him already

just got a blazed sonadow post on my dash that was actually such a jumpscare
#briefly scanned through some of the persons blog out of curiosity. wont namedrop them because i dont want any hate going to them#some of their posts were fine they were correcting like actual misinformation that gets spread around which is fair#but they also had a bunch of long ass essays about how so/nadow is actually canon/will be canon#or how certain sega employees are corrupt and pushing an anti so/nadow agenda even though theyre supposed to be in love ????#(also their evidence for the so called corruption was just random joke posts that had nothing to do with so/nadow..?)#man this stuff is crazyyy. i have nothing against the ship itself. i dont think its baseless and i do like it when its portrayed correctly#but if you actually think like that i think you are too obsessed with the ship and letting it warp your perceptions of things#some people (especially a lot of so/nadow fans for some reason)#desperately need a reminder that just because they like a ship doesnt mean its gonna become canon#or that just because they choose to view an interaction romantically#doesnt mean that the writers are purposefully giving secret hints that those characters are actually in love#also Idk why anybody would even feel the need to blaze this stuff#its most likely gonna get shown to people who dont care. its just a lucky coincidence that im a sonic fan who got shown it#whatever happened to just shipping stuff for fun without the expectation that its gonna be canon#or feeling the need to fight for your life that its secretly canon#what are we doing here#honestly if you like any sonic ship in an '' i want it to be canon''/''think that it is canon'' sort of way youre doing it wrong LMAO

so I finally finished watching Let there be carnage and TELL ME WHY THERE IS A PAPA COSPLAYER IN THE RAVE
#WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM I WAS LIKE oh they just have similar facepaint AND THEN I SAW THE HAT AND LOST IT#This image has a sort of spiritual feeling to me and I cant even say what that feeling is#venom looking at them briefly is so funny to me#also the implications of this are great#the ghost band could canonically be in venoms universe#and there is a chance that he could be a ghost fan#I wonder who his favourite papa would be#I think he would like swiss because of the way his mouth is visible so it kinda looks like him#and also because yknow its swiss#might draw venom in a ghost shirt later tbh#i love rambling holy shit#venom let there be carnage#ghost band

Do y’all really think Fabian would go to college in America (specifically Ohio) to chase after a girl who, while he cares for and misses her (bc lbr they also trauma bonded on top of having a thing for each other), dumped him over a letter and ghosted him? Like, yeah maybe they found each other again later in life after Anubis, but it would not be because Fabian was chasing after her. Why must we refuse to let him have dreams and a life outside of Nina?
#i still stand by the fact that we got to see a more interesting fabian in s3 bc of this whole mess#the kind of Fabian we briefly saw in early S1 before he and Nina became so inextricably linked#he’s a very smart guy but he’s also PROUD (like helloooo canonically confirmed)#like im sorry to fabina shippers (which i am don’t get me wrong)#but#man is not going to chase after ANYBODY#not even nina#like you really think he’s going to an american uni? man def went to like cambridge or oxford or another prestigious uni in the uk#like the ONLY way i see them rekindling is if they were invited to the same place/event like a wedding or a reunion or something#and they both actually attend#it’s POSSIBLE#but i frankly don’t think it’s a romantic notion for him to put his life on hold to find her#he’s moved on in that sense i think#he def still loves her bc you always love a first love a little#and they could and probably would work again#but cmon#house of anubis#fabian rutter#nina martin#fabina

#''like sure my guy has more merch appearances history adaptations and is overall treated by canon with more consistency and respect''#''but what if the 40 year head start vanished overnight bc everyone started liking the other guy more''#i dont think you gotta worry about that man.#and my condolences about the ric arc bruce stealing his robin tts everything etc but it could b worse:#ur fav could be practically any other dc character.#however. its also pretty funny of me to say this as a jason todd guy who was originally a dick grayson guy so#maybe you should feel threatened actually 🤷#anyway dickie ilu im kissimg your little forehead. dont listen to ur stans all ur friends and family love u#i always just wind up pretending the person was actually channeling dicks insecurities like#😱😱 what if donna DID start loving jason more what if tim DID replace me what if roy HATES ME now bc jason was telling him LIES#and then whatever annoying thing i saw circles back around to being funny.#like even in the cases of roy and tim briefly liking jason more in canon that. is already getting phased out and also at least for *roy* if+#that makes you madder than any of the other ways his character got slamdunked in the trash i dont wanna fuckin hear it from u

thinking about the scene in Reign Storm where Vlad is helping them finish building the Ecto Skeleton, and in the scene where he's building it, he's in this like pinkish button down and overalls, but then in the next scene, he's putting his suit jacket on, and he's back in the clothes he usually wears.
This implies that he just... Willingly got fully changed right there in the lab in front of everyone and I love that so much lol The whole Fenton clan (minus maybe Jazz I can't remember if she's there) just saw Vlad in his underwear in their lab at least once and Danny like actively watched, 'cause Vlad was still getting changed when Danny taunts him about how much Jack and Maddie love each other 😂
#Danny Phantom#Vlad Masters#like he's in a fully different outfit#he had to take that off and change back into his suit#he did not have his suit on under the overalls and pink shirt#we know this because the sleeves are rolled up part of the way and it's just bare forearms under there (slut)#this implies he was briefly just in his underwear in front of everyone in the lab while he got changed#at least twice 'cause he had to change into the overalls as well lol#I'm sorry but it's like canon that Danny is attracted to Vlad#there's a physical attraction there canonically whether Butch intended it or not#This lines up with him not even *trying* to avert his gaze when he turns the hotel wall invisible in Eye for an Eye#he's just fully staring at Vlad's naked body lol#and before someone tries to come at me over this#it's not weird for a teen to be attracted to or have a crush on someone much older than them#that is actually extremely fucking common#this isn't a shippy thing this is genuinely just how it comes across sometimes lol
