yall cling to duke as "the normal one" like your lives fucking depend on it. like why go to such lengths to ignore everything incredible abt him canonically in favor of kicking him to the side bcs you headcanon him as boring. like do you understand how not quirky cute and progressive yall sound. You would never do that to your faves and frankly I think some of you are just afraid that he might just be more interesting that whatever made up version of your favorite batboy you have in your mind

“Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?” asked Scrooge.

“I am!”

“Who, and what are you?” Scrooge demanded.

“I am the Ghost of Christmas Past. We've been trying to contact you regarding your car's extended warranty.”

okay, last post about the tank top (for now, until we inevitably get more photos) but setting aside the flailing and thirsting and excitement and everything else for a moment here

more than anything I am just SO happy that Brian felt comfortable enough to wear that tank top out onstage again without anything else over it

because he's obviously been using tank tops as his undershirt for the entire tour so far but even with everything being posted from soundchecks and hotels and his stationary bike we haven't seen him in just the tank on this tour before. he's wearing these constantly now, nearly daily, and until Halloween every image of him from this tour had been with an overshirt on or wearing a different t-shirt entirely.

and we know that Brian had(/has) body image issues and if you look at his entire wardrobe over the entire course of his life it's pretty freaking obvious that at least some of those issues are with his torso and shoulders. yes he's allergic to buttons but how many photos do we have of him actually shirtless compared to, say, Roger or Freddie?

more than that, how many times has he performed with Queen while wearing a tank top? I'll tell you right now you can count it on one hand and it's never been during a Queen concert specifically. the closest he's ever gotten has been rolling up his sleeves during the Q+PR years, or the handful of times he did the same in the 80s.

"we was glam!" Brian once said, and honestly that's probably a large reason why he's never worn tanks onstage with Queen before. because Queen's aesthetic is very different than that of his solo tours, and Q+AL is very different from Q+PR in that the glam vibes that Adam brings allow Brian to return to some of his own stage costume roots. Brian has a wild number of shirt and/or outfit changes during the show, and even the "street clothes" he wears on stage are sparklier than they ever were during the Q+PR years - not to mention that he's actually wearing costumes again, with the borhap solo outfits and the military jackets and everything else he does.

Brian may not be "fashionable" in the sense of being into fashion, following trends, etc. but he has always been extremely aware of how to follow the fashion in Queen specifically (and one day I'll write up that post about how Brian and Freddie continued wearing "costumes" onstage long past the point where Roger and John stopped....). it's really obvious when you look at Brian on the Magic Tour, where his stagewear is mostly just street clothes that vibe with what Roger and John are wearing, but he still pulls out those fabulous coats towards the end of the show to match the grandeur and spectacle that comes with a Queen finale.

Brian is clearly comfortable wearing tank tops in general but it's a very different matter for him to a) wear them publicly, where there will be photos and videos of it on the internet forever and b) wear them during a Queen show in 2023 when they match nothing else going on with his stagewear for this tour.

and I don't want to spend a lot of time on Point A because I am sick to fucking death of trying to get this fandom to understand that cracking "jokes" about the visible signs of natural aging (like the shoulder hair) isn't actually funny, especially when people are doing it on platforms that Brian himself is on like instagram

but with regards to Point B, like... there was just no reason for Brian to do this. there's no reason he couldn't have worn the Frank mask with the mirror ball suit, or if there was a reason he still could've worn an overshirt like he did when they had timing issues and he couldn't do his quick-change a few shows back.

but clearly Brian wanted to do this. he wanted THAT to be his Halloween costume specifically - not the mirror suit or his stagewear with a mask added, but a full outfit that was specifically unique for that moment in that show even if it was pulled from other clothing pieces he already had on hand.

it's a choice that, for about 20 seconds, made him completely visually different from anything anyone else had worn during that show. it's a choice that doesn't fully match Queen's aesthetic, either then or now, and it's a choice that's already generating some questionable "teasing" at his expense.

Brian has always had his physical appearance put under a microscope. from his height to his hair, the clogs to the unbuttoned shirts, by sheer virtue of the fact that he exists in the public eye Brian cannot wear anything without getting comments and critiques on it to some degree. and as he's aged those comments have naturally shifted to be about his aging - about his decision to dye or stop dyeing his hair, about how much skin he shows and how appealing the rest of the world finds that, how much body hair he now has and the small belly he's gained and everything else that comes along when you're a human being who's been alive for 70+ years.

but despite all of that, Brian wore that tank top on stage.

despite the dozens of reasons why this could have been a bad idea, despite the wildly varying opinions I've already seen, despite the aesthetic of Queen and this tour, despite the routine they already have for his outfit changes, despite the fact that this was always going to special because of the green lights and the Frank mask...

despite everything... Brian stripped down to that tank and stepped onto the raising platform without wearing any of his glam overshirts or special-made costumes, knowing that the thousands of people in that venue were waiting to get pictures and videos of that solo, and that he'd be opening himself up to very specific criticisms about his appearance by doing this.

and Brian was still confident enough, comfortable enough, in himself to do that during possible the highest-stakes moment in the entire show.

so yeah, I'm excited because there's new tank top content and I'm not above admitting that I personally find this sort of confidence very sexy even on a man of Brian's age

but I'm also just happy FOR Brian with this - happy that it went off without a hitch, happy that it has mostly been well-received by fans, happy that he seems to have had fun with it and, above all else, happy to see that any lingering self-doubts or body image issues aren't enough to stop him from giving us a moment like this.

You know what I think I've figured it out. Personally do not care what pronouns your Suns uses, but like.. maybe do the same for the others? Where's she/her Pebbles? Where's he/him Moon? NSH everything pronouns? And like, I wanna see at least one she/they suns okay.

Will never forgive the milgram fandom for how they treat Kazui tbh

[spaceshipkat]

also btw @ my mota mutuals—i am kissing you all on the mouth every time you tag me in your fic or writing games or anything relative to mota. i am woefully behind in 1) reading fic and 2) writing fic and 3) tumbling on mota tumblr but i get SO fucking happy seeing y’all keep writing and posting and tagging

oh wow okay rereading/binging the ubers match all together.. its actually really fucking good.

no seriously, when these chapters were coming out i too was bored and felt like it was taking forever. but when you binge it all together, the pacing is actually perfect and the themes all tied together really nice. as in- hiori's arc makes sense to cover in this match bc it tied in with the ideas of snuffy's backstory and barou's arc too (which btw the ubers storyline wrapped up really well. i get why they didnt win bc their arc finished kind of early and bc of other technical aspects tho)

if anything, i felt like one more chapter was needed. isagi and hiori's goal needed a little more build up at least from the perspective of getting to the conclusion of hiori's arc. that part felt a little messy with getting from ch 237 to 238. but otherwise wow...

that was one damn good match

2, 5 and 6 for the artist asks?

evening aurrie!! thank you for the ask!

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

oh this question is going for artists knees huh. i will draw right facing people till the day i Die. when i draw digitally, i will flip the canvas if theres a character facing left. this has, however, caused shading problems before :') when i draw traditionally i just suffer 😔

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

hmmm. id say a good 10:90 ratio for art i post vs art i keep for myself, for various reasons. the biggest reason is that i dont think itd be anything interesting. most of what i draw are headshots and sometimes dumb comics. a lot of what i draw is tailor made to me specifically, and i dont like the idea of a lot of people looking at it, even if i find it funny or show it to a few irl friends. another reason is my art is primarily oc art, and i dont want to post 'spoilers' for their stories, just in case (freely admit this is one of the more bullshit reasons, considering my track record with completing projects). but. also? a really. Really big reason i dont post most of my (fhr) art here is because im a traditional artist and i dont know how to take good pictures 💀

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Sigh.

neither of them were intentional. i dont even Watch any of these shows. i dont know how it happened 😭

im also certain Somebodys influencing these two assholes, i just cant figure out who exactly. im pretty sure the pirate story was inspired by the owl house, and the seasons cast miight have been influenced by the writing of underworld office/not exactly a hero and persona 5?? dont quote me on that though.

questions from here!

i honestly think people either willfully forget or they never knew in their silly headcanons about sebastian vettel as grid dad (🤮) or whatever, that this man won four fucking championship with red bull. we all know what tin can team is like. multi 21 is just one of the numerous war crimes he commited during his racing, this is a man who does not deal well with not winning at all, who is mean, and a crybaby about it, and is just in his core a bastard incredibly hungry for the win. and that part of someones personality is a core part, and it isnt something that goes away. its just something that he misdirected bcs it was either turn your attention elsewhere and find something other to consume you or combust from the inside

[earmo-imni]

Genuinely concerned and astonished (and also kind of horrified) that “killing people is bad always*, yes, even the people who probably deserve to die for their actions” is as controversial an opinion as it apparently is

*killing people in defense of oneself or others is understandable, not saying people shouldn’t like. Protect themselves or other people. I still think killing should be a last resort but also like yes protect yourself and others obviously

For real though why is that controversial?????? Why do people genuinely think that killing people is fine and good as long as it’s the “right” people???? Do they not realize how easily that is abused? How similar that is to the beliefs of fascists and bigots? What the absolute fuck what is wrong with people??????????????

Captain!Mitsuru is like yes she's a girlboss from afar. Like whenever she appears on TV or at a public conference whatever, she is so confident and a true leader, and when the Phantom Thieves meet her for the first time, they're intimidated by her (in a scary hot woman way). She's def matured a lot from her high school days.

But don't get me wrong this woman is a girlfail. She is my wet pathetic milf. She's crying in her office when she thinks no ones looking. Yes she has a loving wife but she's dealing with the horrors (Kirijo Group sins still biting her in the ass)
