I was a kid with a Hunger Games hyperfixation and, from time to time, I'll get reminded of the books. With Trump's inauguration and the TikTok ban and unban, I can't stop thinking about a political tactic called panem et circenses, or bread and circuses.

In Mockingjay, Collins writes "'It’s a saying from thousands of years ago, written in a language called Latin about a place called Rome,' he explains. 'Panem et Circenses translates into "Bread and Circuses." The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power.'"

In Collins' world, the Hunger Games was the entertainment. In ours, it's social media. Twitter, Meta, TikTok, are all controlled by political powers. Musk, Zuckerberg. TikTok is owned by Yiming and Rubo, but with the ban and unban, the content it shows in America is filtered to fit Trump's political agenda.

It's entertainment at the cost of information.

Ace attorney brainrot has reinfected me so here's a narumitsu outfit swap lol. I'm working on the Apollo & Klavier and Athena & Blackquill too so stay tuned I guess

Art from March 19, 2025

#steaksart #ace attorney #narumitsu #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #wrightworth #I think they'd still keep their badges even if they swapped outfits for funsies #just bc being an attorney/prosecutor are extremely important parts of both of their identities #also I feel like phoenix would always keep his locket no matter what to keep Trucy close to him even as she grows up #also please click on the image to get a higher quality bc i guess gumblr hates me

Something other about his eyes

Bonus! Based on this quick thing I did this afternoon and the idea took a bit more shape and turned into that thing from above uEK

#not too much effort on the colors with this one #o would’ve left it just with lineart but at the end I thought it would look nicer with some rough shadows #shadowing. you know what I meant.#his plant markings being extremely faint on his eyes when they aren’t glowing is very true to me also #I think itd be awesome if Vash’s eyes would just look like that when he isn’t masking #or they could be a bit more lax but still look like they are staring far far away into the void #or into your souls if you so happen to make eye contact with him. like woowoo over here #he is probably listening for one of his sisters who is not so close to him. maybe even Kni? who knows it’s up to interpretation #Vash’s hair can be such a nightmare also. I do not think of physics when drawing him whatsoever #I give him the Mickey Mouse ears treatment sometimes and some other I actually respect the fact that his hair will always be swept #to the right. if you haven’t noticed that yet. I think it’s way more noticeable on the 2d art #which is a nice touch! considering that’s the direction I’m which his haircut was when they were kids. isn’t that fun #anyways weird Vash for me once again and I’ll share a little with you. ah I’ll get to the requests later btw!#trigun #vash the stampede #trigun stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi draws #vash saverem #ah extra note. this is meant to be pre plant revelation. I think Vash would already know about what WW is there for since very early on #but about the plant thing he was still a little doubtful since he wouldn’t think Kni would disclose that information so easily.#so seeing that Nick has a very keen eye and is very observant kind of ticks him off even though he is just the same. so maybe that’s why #it ticks him in the first place. headcanons everywhere in this household

recurring minor characters not being in s2 of the show does mean that TLO is absolutely doomed now if they ever do get to it, because the weight and impact of characters like Silena and Beckendorf are entirely based on how long they've been around in the books and their longstanding connection to events in the story and particularly Percy (not to mention Beckendorf's importance in SoM specifically but i digress)

HOWEVER. on the bright side: this means they are spared from being in the show for now. so.

#pjo #pjo tv #riordanverse #charles beckendorf #silena beauregard #silena also not showing up until the end if theyre gonna keep her being the spy would also be terrible because like. theres no impact then.#this random character comes out of nowhere and is apparently Clarisse's bff and also the spy for the TA? that's out of left field #UNLESS we have already established Silena as this recurring extremely trusted character. she avoids conflict! she's a daughter of aphrodite #she loves her (eventually) boyfriend and she's so beloved she managed to become best friends with CLARISSE of all people!#AND she's close friends with Annabeth too!#you *need* to set that up as early as possible with her or else her role in the narrative falls completely flat #im kind of wondering if with how much they've been emphasizing Chris this early on they might merge Chris and Silena's characters #im thinking either they're gonna have Chris defect from the army way earlier on (SoM) for the whole ''teams racing'' thing #so its like Clarisse and Luke both racing to try and save Chris from the same situation Percy Annabeth and Tyson are saving Grover from #and that being an earlier version of Clarisse saving Chris from the labyrinth or something #or they combo Chris and Silena and have Chris stick around at CHB after Luke leaves for the TA #since the show already establishes Chris as like Luke's right-hand man in s1 since Chris is basically only shown alongside him #so having Chris stick around at CHB would inherently be suspicious and his dynamic with Luke would indicate he's the spy #and because he's dating Clarisse he can fill in those roles Silena fulfills as Clarisse's Patroclus #which implies he'd probably die to the drakon in TLO for Clarisse's rampage in a moment of redemption but given Chris like.#never shows up post-TLO anyways they would probably figure that's fine #im thinking thoughts

I've been thinking a lot lately

ref to the quote under the cut

under the cut for maybe some people that would like to try and guess *shruggs*

#fanart #my art #sketch #crk #crk fanart #shadow milk cookie #cookie run fanart #I'm literally wasting my phone's battery by playing the ep again but I can't help it #I love the music in there especially in that one scene right before PV is awakened it's so... interesting #I've also been thinking about how this quote should probably fit sm as well and I just like how it sounds #back when I first read the AMA I didn't know English very well and I won't say I know it well now but at least I can talk and read it bette #and the way it sounds makes me think every time #I do like ep's ending but some of the other scenes caught my attention more like sm's curiosity about the soul gem being his downfall #corrupted or not he's still a Fount of Knowledge and that's an interesting detail as Vanilla did the same with trying to figure sm out late #before being awakened too! like those too ARE two sides of the same coin in sense that truly fits their soulstone #but in ep 8 specifically it shines the brightest as we see both get more serious in it getting new sprites and all #anyway I've just been thinking #crk is like a meditation thing for me as I don't expect anything from me drawing it #isat is a bit overwhelming everytime I post anything and I have no idea how much is it my skill and how much is it isat being a small fando #but going in dissapointed beforehand means it can't dissapoint you twice! so I win this one #writing all that took me more effort than sketching and putting up the alphabet just to be extremely close to the norm #artists on tumblr #digital art

#--/ art #--/ story #ava the dark lord #⬇⬇⬇ context in the tags ⬇⬇⬇#alan becker #animator vs animation #animation vs minecraft #ava the chosen one #it is done !! ok ill give y'all the intro context synopsis now #the story goes that way way way way before Showdown cho and dark used to sneak into abandoned-looking buildings in the city at night #and one such target they stumble upon happens to be a storage room containing artifacts from Minecraft #the most interesting being the beds.#on this particular outing cho and dark were returning from other shenanigans and could use a place to rest. perfect!#dark belly-flops onto the right bed (scooting them out of alignment) and strikes a pose.#while chosen is shoving them back together again... oh. he's already asleep? ...???#!!! the beds draw you in if you get too close!#so what was supposed to be half an hour at most rest turned into the whole night. they skedaddled and forgot about the freaky beds.#until. a certain someone goes and dies :333 #you get it now ! ! !#it was dark diesn't ALL ALONG-#yeah and then for extra spice i threw in that the hooded stick King meets with during his episode to buy a command block...#...happens to own that storage room.#thus and so begins more brand new shenanigans with dark interacting with this shady rando. i call em seafoam #i highly extremely doubt there's a tag for seafoam . . . wiki calls them only 'hooded stick figure'#anyhow. behind the scenes this was also a practice of drawing things in 3D... keeping on model... and composition for storytelling #and i learned some things about how Whiteboard works too :o i. didn't know about the fill tool. it is cool #yayaya!! so that's been in my head for a while.#thx for reading <3 <3 ill be posting some close-up shots of this and other things i put on the whiteboard later #Minecraft bed

assuming that's Tate in the doodle for your latest ask, I gotta know, is Fiddleford's family living in Gravity Falls with him now? Is his wife still going to leave him? Is he still going to make the Shame-Bot and destroy all those cities and start a cult? Would be funny if he still started a cult anyway, like it was fate or something

It's Tate! They are childhood besties! (Bill and Fiddleford haaaaaate that. Ford and Emma-May think it's adorable)

(^ terribly rough sketch, alas. late teen/early adultish)

I haaaaaven't worked out the full timeline yet, but yeah, I think Fidds was always destined for cults and death-bots lol

#gravity falls #non euclidean geometry au #asks answered #pyramid steve #tate mcgucket #fiddleford mcgucket #billford #bill is extremely anti-fiddauthor #IS he a threat? irrelevant #bill's a hater #fidds is also a hater #but they want their children happy so they put up with each other #the spouses get along great #frankly emma-may is relieved tate has a human friend #ok half human but close enough #he walks upright and speaks english!!! she can have dinner parties with his parents!#i picture tate as a quiet kid with a lot of animal friends #my art #lore dump

There are many things people expect from one called 'God of Blood'. Always, the first thought is the blood of war, the blood of violence, the blood of the weak shed for the goals of the strong. Ares doesn't think of the blood of battle at all. When he thinks of blood, he envisions the many tied knots of blood bonds and bonds forged in the blood of battle. Blood sons and blood daughters, blood brothers and battle sisters, blood oaths and blood vengeance - he watches over them all and keeps close each one of these bonds.

One cannot begrudge his displeasure then when he realises he cannot tell Leto's offspring apart just by looking at them.

It was easier when it was just Artemis. Dark hair curled about her shoulders, a fierce mien whenever Father summons her to the mountain, a scattering of bones and blood shed whenever she was disturbed; the eldest child of Leto was a wild thing, sharp toothed with sharper claws always at the ready. There's whispers of her being a twin, of her other half being made to crawl on their belly as penance for their sin of god-slaying but Ares pays it little mind. What twins look alike among their number? Even dog litters are born distinct with all their unique markings inlaid in their fur. Artemis' twin too would be much more than their sister's mirror image.

Pouring over his list now, he wishes anything about Phoebus Apollo was that simple.

Mirror image did not begin to describe it. The twins were the same height, the same build, had the same colour and texture hair, ate the same raw food and drank the same amount of nectar. There was no difference in how they dressed, no difference in the company they kept, no variance in the weapons they used. There are some days Ares still cannot believe Phoebus will grow into a man and not some nymph with the way his ears have that slender point. He watches them now, sitting together beneath a shady palm and stringing their bows in an uncanny unison and curses because he still cannot tell them apart. What use is his skill in knowing blood when they both have the same damn blood running through their veins? What bond is there to sense when they are tied so tightly together, Ares can scarcely tell brother from sister?

He sighs. Unadorned and completely alone, the only way to know who is who is to speak to them. He'll have to find more ways to tell them apart from a distance. Surely they cannot stay this similar all the rest of their immortal lives.

#ginger writes #hello and welcome to my 'ares is doing his best' corner #I can't overstate enough how alike Artemis and Apollo are as young gods physically #literally identical twin status which only begins to change as they acquire different domains #I was really happy with the font I got because it very closely resembles what I imagine Ares' handwriting to be like #But I'll gladly add an image description if it's too illegible #That said Ares has an interesting dynamic with the twins #In a lot of ways there's a sense of guilt/wariness surrounding him for Apollo and Artemis #because he knows how much they stress his mother out and he also knows how much Hera doesn't like Leto #But there's also a bit of fascination because Artemis is extremely strong #(in a way that's markedly different from Athena's strength)#while Apollo has all of these crazy stories attached to him from killing Python + his work while exiled #but when he returns he's very placid and calm and almost?? too nice? Definitely nothing like Artemis #in terms of personality #Ares doesn't really trust it until he learns that straight up that's just What Apollo Is Like #That too will change eventually but for now Ares just doesn't want to approach Artemis the way he'd approach Apollo #because he'd get his head caved in with the curved side of a bow #There are precious few encounters Ares has had with Artemis where he hasn't walked away with #at least a few arrow wounds LMAO #He'll eventually be forced to accept that it's Artemis' love language #ares #artemis #apollo #pursuing daybreak posting #writing

"Listen. That wasn’t tactical. I lost it." LOKI S02E02 “Breaking Brad”

#mobius #mobius m mobius #owen wilson #lokitvsource #lokitvedit #marveledit #mine #not feeling normal about this at all actually #the subtlety of owen's acting here is everything to me #the way that mobius is so obviously torn up about hitting brad #his body language is closed off and uncomfortable #he's really beating himself up for his behaviour #but he powers through it because he wants to explain himself #but to do so he has to be vulnerable and that's hard for him #he's so used to making others talk but he doesn't do it himself #he's a yapper at heart but emotionally he's closed off to his own emotions #i love how in the 6th gif he listens to loki relate to his struggle (with an extreme example) with a soft smile #it's still sad yet it holds understanding that his friend is trying to make him feel better #he allows himself to be consoled by loki #and because of that support from someone he trusts he's able to open up #mobius my beloved #i love him with all my heart #i loved Owen's performance so much i think he's so underrated
