Calypso, baby, im so sorry people can't understand the nuance of your character being a an antagonist and 100% raping someone just because they want to justify liking you, and instead, ignore that men SA exists and try to claim they are cheaters
(and for the record, is canon that Odysseus told Penelope what happened to both Circe and Calypso and she understood and literally said "dont blame yourself for something you were forced to you" so suck it up)
#epic the musical#epic calypso#the odyssey#listen i dont like Calypso as a character but she is AN ANTAGONIST#she did fucked up shit she raped Odysseus#you can still feel compassion towards why she was in the island alone for 7 years#it's like saying Penelope was cheating on Ody for having 108 men in his house and she was very close to marry one of them#Telemachus goes and participate in The Challenge and said that he was going to marry HIS MOM#(even though that last bit was to taunt the suitors so they didn't suspect he was in kahoots with his dad and kill them all)#*alone for 100 years whatever

yknowwww there is something... deeply uncomfortable about the way mel never speaks directly to viktor in the 'build hextech weapons' scene. she really only speaks to jayce. plenty of people have pointed this out already but like the one scene they actually share a meaningful interaction and she treats him like he's beneath her. all this after jayce has emphasized how important viktor is, that hextech is theirs, together. she unequivocally ices him out, there's no other way to interpret this scene. the way it's shot too - from viktor's perspective, looking up at her, as though to reinforce the same belief in him. like he doesn't even bother expecting respect from her - or anyone from the upper echelon of piltover. he's fully accustomed to being dehumanized by everyone around him at this point. sometimes even by jayce, despite the trust they clearly have in each other.
then of course after this scene is viktor experimenting on himself. it's pretty clear that he has internalized his own dehumanization. crazy.
#dont open these tags unless you want to read an essay im so serious#quick disclaimer i do properly ship jayvik as of s2e9 aha#sorry abt the like. spam. but yk this what rewatching an insanely detailed show with fresh eyes does to a mfer#arcane#.txt#i think mel and jayce (among others) both exhibit the same kind of casual classism#jayce somewhat more obviously with his whole 'the zaunites are dangerous' spiel#and mel more subtly. its in the way she shows very little concern for the plight of the undercity until yk. it explodes in her face#she's been on the council for a decade. has done little but rub elbows with the elites of piltover and amass her own fortune#pretty clear she hasn't so much as blinked at the horrific state of zaun. this makes her a very willing participant in its oppression fyi#and then of course her treatment of viktor#ive seen it pretty heavily debated and i don't really see any reason to deny or defend these actions of hers#likewise when jayce accosts viktor and reprimands him for going to the undercity or makes a hextech weapon there's no reason to excuse him#these are clear examples of classist behaviour and i dont think it does anybody any favours to ignore it#jayvik#<-tagged bc those who do not want to read criticism of or about mel will likely have it blocked#im not here to stir the pot thanks#there's also something a bit kooky about the idea of 2 privileged rich kids commiserating about the sad state of the undercity#meanwhile a literal resident of said undercity whose perspective they could REALLY use is dying in a lab using his own body to try and#cure a common zaunite ailment/disease#meanwhile they wont help until they feel piltover is 'safe' (aka has WMDs to use against any perceived threat aha....)#anyway#its all very complicated and i dont doubt that their intentions were good (...mostly) but the road to hell and all that#it just rly bothers me that viktor was like. right there. a wealth of insight into zaun. and neither jayce nor mel even bother engaging him

do you ever think about how all you used to draw when you were 10 was ponies and that you should still know how to do that, then get an idea and proceed to draw something like these in nearly one sitting and it turns out better than any drawing you've done in the entire past month
sooo anyway does anyone have cutie mark or pony name ideas for them?? lol
#(the b girl lineups are older than a month because i procrastinated a lot on doing minor fixes. nothing i drew in the month of june 2024#is really worth showing it's all shitty doodles lmao)#bnha#class 1b#mlp#?#yui kodai#setsuna tokage#itsuka kendo#ibara shiozaki#(i love how she came out in particular! creature :3)#reiko yanagi#tikto's art#you may be wondering why pony of all people isn't here.#i did draw her! but i kind of ran out of steam so i ended up not really liking the result lol same for kinoko#anyway shoutout to elementary school me i was SO obsessed with mlp. brony stuff was one of the first things i used the internet for#and you know what. i wouldn't say it ruined me it was a pleasant experience#i just read what was basically a polish version of equestria daily and constantly checked the deviantart profile of one (1) specific artist#that i liked a lot#i did watch some weird speedpaints (yknow the horror ones) but i honestly dont remember being very bothered by them i just liked the art#i was just chilling there lurking and never actively participating due to being 10 and afraid of online strangers (good for me tbh)#i remember having an identity crisis though because can i really call myself a brony if i'm a little girl? the target audience of the show?#lmao anyway i would also draw ponies constantly and write oc fanfics (and the ocs were actually my irl friends ponified)#and i even had my own little g5 concept. good times good times#tag story time over god bless enjoy your day

I really dont want to get into the Nosferatu discourse because that is a whole can of worms in and of itself, but I do think its perplexing if you watch an interview wherein Lily-Rose Depp:
discusses her understanding of Ellen
discusses how she views the dynamics between Ellen & Orlok and Ellen & Thomas
and how those very viewpoints were developed directly from discussions she had with the director/writer
...and then claim that she has a poor understanding of the very character she portrayed.
#you dont have to like it#and of course art is very subjective and open to interpretation#and you dont have to align your interpretation of Ellen/the film to the actor's or even the director's#but to act as if they dont understand the story? oh brother#its giving: “Oh my interpretation conflicts with the actor/director's? Then clearly they're the ones who are wrong”#also I recognize that by making this post I am in fact participating in the Nosferatu discourse but this is as far as Im taking it#for my own peace of mind#nosferatu

Yeah let's also cancel Lewis Hamilton for meeting and having conversations with Putin... Yeah... Also maybe Seb too because he was also there???? Yeah... Right...some of you have never had a job where you had to talk positively about someone you didn't like or approved just for the sake of keeping that job.
idk which time ur talking about hamilton and putin meeting up and making friends, as the only time i can find that they've interacted was at the 2015 russian grand prix where putin was giving out the race trophies. hamilton, vettel, and perez were all on the podium for that race. correct me if im wrong and theres another time theyve met, but thats literally all i can find.
now, first of all, there's a big difference between having to interact with a political figure on a race podium, and choosing to interact with them freely out in the paddock, taking pictures with them, and praising them in additional interviews. there's also a big difference between being polite to the current leader of the country you're in that is known for killing/imprisoning people who speak out against him, and actively supporting an ex-leader who has (as far as we know) never actually killed someone for not being supportive.
if you ask me, it would've been unsafe for hamilton or any of the drivers on that podium to speak out against putin at that moment or act impolitely. on the other hand, the biggest trouble norris could get in for not praising trump and taking pictures with him is maybe a talking too back at the mclaren HQ. like, lets be real, it would be ridiculous and insane of mclaren to fire norris after all the time/resources theyve put into his development, especially now that its finally starting to pay off. it would be like shooting themselves in the foot, a move thats generally reserved for ferrari's strategy team or sauber's pit stops.
furthermore, you are simply assuming that norris' job wouldve been at risk in this situation. not once has it been implied that he was threatened or coerced into this situation. its even less likely that that has happened since piastri hasn't made any comments or taken any pictures with trump as far as i can find. for all we know, it could've been norris' idea to do all that. so, not exactly the strongest defense here.
and even if he had been forced into the corner and told to take pictures and play nice, he also took it a step further to compliment trump in other interviews saying it was an "honor" and there's a lot to "respect" about trump. hamilton has never come out saying any of that about putin. in fact, he has come on the record since then condemning putin and his actions. can you tell me where norris has come out condemning trump and his actions? no? that's funny.
#even if you did make the baseless assumption that everything lando norris did this weekend was being forced by mclaren#its still a stupid argument#theres a difference between being nice with “someone you dont like” and praising a literal bigoted wanna-be dictator#anyone with any kind of moral backbone in that situation wouldnt have allowed things to go that far and wouldve taken a stand against it#u dont think all those protests that hamilton and other drivers like vettel participated in put their jobs at risk?#u dont think that put a lot of pressure and danger on them?#yet they still chose to do the right thing#dont come into my inbox again spewing this nonsense#even if hamilton was getting real buddy buddy with putin#hes educated himself grown as a person and publicly changed his stance#and until norris does the same he has lost my respect#lewis hamilton#lh44#lando norris#anti lando norris#ln4#mclaren#mercedes#donald trump#vladimir putin#politics#adding so people can filter those out#formula 1#f1#reds ask tag

hey you ever think about how its implied that you have to be turned into a nobody to get norted, like, every member of the real org13 who isnt literally xehanort or literally possessed by xehanort is a nobody (except maybe vanitas but *gestures* thats a . different can of worms), and the people who were recompleted had to then become nobodies again in order to be in the real org13 and serve as a vessel for xehanort, like perhaps your heart has to be removed in order to make room for another heart,
and then do you ever think about the one character who canonically got norted before becoming a nobody and is still norted even after being recompleted and thus canonically didnt need to become a nobody in order to be norted, and then lose your mind a little bit
#9 30 am. luxuposting hours. [luxuposting hours are from 12 am to 11:59 pm]#idk. maybe you serve as a vessel for somebody else's ambitions for long enough and it becomes second nature to you.#maybe you lose enough of your sense of self in enough bodies and you dont need to have your sense of self removed to make room for someone.#maybe you let darkness attach to you for long enough and your metaphysical immune system doesnt lift a finger#to fight off another darkness trying to intrude.#maybe you stare into the moral black hole that is the intentionally orchestrated slaughter of unknown numbers of child soldiers#willingly carried out by the people who were supposed to protect and guide those children#and in some way make enough peace with that to continue serving the man who orchestrated it alongside those who participated#and that decimates your personhood enough that the presence of a heart doesnt even matter anymore. idk. idk#yknow its normal to me. its fine. <- throwing up.#&then of course he becomes a nobody again anyway. for what. shits and giggles#was it forced on him. was it elective. will we ever know. i doubt it. im fine with that tbh i dont need everything spelled out for me#kingdom hearts#blakeposts#xigbar#luxu#kh

Look, I just think it's VERY funny and on brand that I thought of an entire premise of colorful characters for half the cast and immediately drew the only one void of color.
#my characters#i will not bore you all too much in the main post but now its story time in the tags so yeefuckinghaw#noll is a fae and is distinctly the only one that just lacks colors#at first he was like well surely i can wear colorful stuff to make up for my dark hair and eyes !#and then he overhears some of the fae talking about how hes a blemish to the fae and hes like well fuck#guess its time to go all in baby! and decks himself out in all black and jagged clothing#and he tries to play it off as hes an idiot and a lot of the fae actually believe its not ALL an act#like they can tell he thinks about stuff but he normally does it staring into space so they dont care to ask#cause surely it isnt important enough to brood about hes just thinking about stuff#and he really REALLY has a lot of confidence issues and worries that more fae are disturbed by his darkness than let on#but then the other fae that like to hang out with him are like#YOOOOOO THATS OUR LIL VOID! THATS OUR LIL GUY! our lil black spot look at him hes so edgy and cute!#and treat him like a pet cat at times giving him head pats even if he bats their hands away#and the plot premise is that some of the fae are bored and decide they should go play with some humans! give THEM enrichment too!#and noll gets roped into it and The Game is basically go find a human partner and convince them to be an ally#then the fae give the humans cool lil toys (weapons) and are like GO FORTH MY CHAMPION!#so noll keeps like ... not picking anyone to participate because its not just A Game to him#if he can prove victorious in A Game with outside factors such as humans then he can prove hes not#an absolute disappointment to the fae like he has a lot riding on this in his mind#and his friends are just like buddy you cant even play if you dont pick a human you gotta#anyway here is noll and then i have ideas for two other fae and also a veeeery vague idea for two of the humans though not as sure yet#rae if you read all this you should know the cobalt is a fae thanks bye#i am so stressed posting ocs every single time and i am incredibly depressed and anxious#so good lord please let me not just delete all the tags in an hour bc im ashamed

This bit of trivia makes me ❓ what lore would contradict this. Is it that canon BF isn't trans. Why can't he be trans.
#ramblings#what did he get someone pregnant. what /j#i mean if its never something thatd come up i guesss that'd make sense. but like ???#i dont even really go to hit single (hides my rgbfverse participation behind my back cuz its different) so this doesnt even affect me#i think this is funny idk. fuck you (un-transgenders your mod bf)#not gonna talk abt this any more bc i genuinely have nothing to say beyond `lmao this is funny` so

Oh you're a furry??? That's fine like yeah it's a bit weird but it's FINE i just find furries creepy because i'm afraid of mascot suits. I find them so scary that i NEED to tell this to every single furry i ever meet. I for some reason never bring this up in other contexts where mascot suits are present, but if there are furries i just have to let everyone know that i find their fursuits uncanny. I am incapable of saying anything positive about furries without yelling I AM SCARED OF FURSUITS!!! from the rooftops. Are you hearing me
#i dont even fursuit i just draw my animal ocs without really participating in community#but if i hear this one more time i swear i will become jigsaw#furry#furries#sfw furry#inspired by that post i reblogged. thats a good post but reminded me of grown ass adults having to tell me they find fursuits creepy#this has happened. multiple times. why are you even telling me this when i dont have a fursuit!!#what about me drawing a cartoon dog makes you think I NEED TO TELL THIS PERSON I FIND A POTENTIAL PART OF THEIR HOBBY CREEPY#like ok i know people dont mean anything by it but. its just rude

#text#it was kinda charming at first but it feels like everytime i try to look at the mk tag its always the same shit . guys. guys.#we can do so much more w/ their dynamics than just dad and son ugh its so . ughhh.#every since i realized i was like . really really aroace. ive started to grow a bit of a distaste for shipping culture#this is relavant i swear. iwanna talk about metadede#like ok in fandoms right. theres often#the enforcement of specific roles onto characters for a simplified understanding of them for memes and drawing ideas#we want gay rep but we dont quite have it canonically so we make our queer headcanons seem more legit#by giving a char a same sex partner. ok easy we did it. gay people are real now#and we get awesome art and its wonderful bc people are wonderful#but its like . the relationships themselves feel flat a lot of the times.#metadede never seems to be about dedede. its about mk having a boyfriend. bc we need him to date someone.#and im not like . mad at anyone about this. i participated in it back in the day. but like.#ok so. gay hcs are the most popular in most fandom things bc its easy; hot; and sweet#but things like aro or ace hcs? its just. they. how can you depict that in a single framed drawing of a char?so theres none at all.#its not even that i actively hc chars aroace its jsut this is my world view; how i default to reading chars#maybe this rant in the tags is unrelated after all.#but idk. ive got lots of thoughts about things.#anyways as ceo of meta knigth im right about everything#i can talk more about metadad stuff specifically if people want

Women. We need to stop wearing makeup. We need to stop doing excessive skincare routines. We need to stop getting cosmetic surgery.
We NEED to stop obsessing over every aspect of our appearances and we NEED to start accepting what our natural faces look like.
We need to divorce ourselves from the idea that beauty is morality. We need to stop caring about if we're ugly or not or treating it like its the end of the world.
Your face is your face!!! It looks the way it does, and you need to stop hating it. Who fucking cares if you have acne or dark circles or fine lines or wrinkles or sunspots or scars. WHO GIVES A GODDAMN SHIT. it is your face, and no matter what you do you will never get another one. You will have it for the rest of your life so you may as well learn to fucking live with it.
Learn to accept yourself the way you are. WHY should it matter if you are beautiful or ugly. YOU ARE A PERSON. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOUR AESTHETICS. We are never going to get equality for women, like, each of us being able to walk out of the fucking door without giving a single shit -- just like men do -- and be treated like human beings, if we keep desperately trying to homogenise our features into what is deemed "acceptable" and valourising beauty.
Your natural face isn't beautiful or ugly. Its your fucking face. This isnt about "embracing being ugly" its saying WHY THE FUCK SHOULD HOW I LOOK EVEN MATTER. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT NEED TO BE JUDGED. WHY ARE WE ASSIGNING WORTH TO APPEARANCES IN THE FIRST PLACE
WE ARE NEVER GETTING OUT OF PATRIARCHY IF WE KEEP FUCKING PARTICIPATING IN IT
#im going to bite through plate glass#nothing makes me more seethingly furious than being judged for my natural fucking face#WE ARE NEVER GETTING OUT OF PATRIARCHY IF WE KEEP FUCKING CARING#you dont just owe it to yourself to stop hating yourself#you owe it to every other woman on the planet. now and in the future.#do you think valourising beauty over everything else will just magically stop without anyone doing anything???#do you think the change is just going to happen? that its going to be easy?#do you think that the culture will just suddenly change without anyone actually doing anything?#that we can just DECIDE our way out of beauty culture MAGICALLY all at once?#NO. YOU HAVE TO STOP PARTICIPATING IN IT. ALL OF US HAVE TO STOP PARTICUPATING IN IT. TOGETHER#stop giving a shit if you are attractive or not. it doesnt matter! it literally doesnt matter! being beautiful doesnt make you a good person#being ugly doesnt make you a bad person. being ugly literally doesnt even fucking matter#stop hating yourself for who you are. stop hating yourself for things you cant change#stop letting the fucking internet and society and people give you a new insecurity every week#you cannot uncouple yourself from this idea that beauty is everything unless you stop investing in it#its not going to be easy! its going to be hard as fuck and you will feel worse before you feel better#you hate your natural face because you are not used to seeing it. GET USED TO SEEING IT#and then you will see how little all of this shit actually matters and how much of your time money and energy you were wasting#hating yourself for LITERALLY NO FUCKING REASON#feminism#make up#beauty culture#skincare#ageism#misogyny#patriarchy

#do you guys ever think about how yosuke is always the one that proposes their outings#yu is the catalyst that brings them together but yosuke is the glue that helps hold them there#thinking about his shadow's comment about how yosuke needs to surround himself with as many people as possible to stave off the loneliness#and to a large extent it kind of still holds true here (and theres nothing wrong with that!) and not only does yu know that#yu doesnt judge him or tease him for it. and like for all the things that yu (or anybody else) teases him about#THAT is not it#Yukiko calls him well connected and friendly aaaaah i cannot get that out of my head ever#and it's also in how his proposals are received by the others - everyone else is always genuinely excited to participate in it#like the motorcycle license and the beach holiday is all your friends can talk about for the days after that#i think its one of those things that imo really add to that... very organic friendship dynamic that the IT have compared to the SEES#or even the PT to some extent#(listen i love the PT dont get me wrong but the IT just have a Something to them) (and i think a lot of it is driven by Yosuke)#his friends rib and tease him because hes so bullyable but they are always always so willing to jump in when he suggests something aaaaaah#and he knows this!! he may not have realised it at first but he does eventually!!!#yosuke truly my beloved my absolute number one love
