fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.

dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.

but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).

like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?

You're only six years old. You're trying to be a ballerina, to be victorious, to dance better than any of the other girls. (You'll dance on their heads if you have to.) (Metaphorically.) You hope your parents can forgive you for being a bad little girl. You tell stories of them drinking too much and ignoring you for too long and making you fight a bear. (You lost.) But you also tell the story of how sometimes they said "I love you" by leaving an extra layer of dust for you to wipe away. Someday, that might lose its meaning, or take on a darker one. But you're young. You have time.

You're only six years old. You have trouble saying words, but you keep trying. You struggle with ballet, but you keep trying. You make jokes that most people don't laugh at, but you keep trying. You sing to yourself when you're lonely. You tell a little boy he can be whatever he wants to be. You laugh together. (It's fun.) You're reprimanded, but you still promise to teach him all you know. Someday, you might realize how brave you were. But you're young, and bravery looks so much like kindness.

You're only six years old. You've been forced to fight in a war you want no part in, used by the people who were supposed to protect you. You dance for royalty, but you will not slit their throats. (Maybe it's bravery. Maybe it's kindness. Maybe it's just the boy's voice in your head, telling you that you can be whatever you want to be.) You're cast out by the person who was supposed to care about you. (Maybe she never cared, or maybe she just doesn't know how to show it.) You leave, and the boy comes with you. You're not going to fight any battles that aren't your own. Someday, this will be a memory, and you'll be free. But right now, you're scared, and you're being forced to grow up too fast, and you're only six years old.

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.

Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.

Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!

Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…

And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

cassandra & clytemnestra

class doodles <3

cassandra: super proud of how she turned out!! i love noses so much and ive managed to give her a really glorious one today. she got a few compliments too hehe

clytemnestra: idk how well ive managed to depict it lol but cly is both mourning iphigenia and planning out her vengeance. its going to be a long 10 years but she will have her killers blood.

--

i still have a long way to go till i finish the iliad so i dont know everyones story yet, i do know however that cly like many before and after her arent often portrayed with the complexities that make them them, that make them human, but instead as paragons or pariahs. and i think theres lots to be said on the matter, but i dont want to get ahead of myself lol. anyway enjoy :D

Jinx is funny as hell tho. She tries so hard to stray away from genuine connections and deeper emotions so she tries to make these big jokes but just. No one ever goes along with her bit.

I can see her thoughts when she's waiting for Vi to sober up like "ok so we're not gonna acknowledge that several months ago I almost killed her/tried baiting her into killing me. I'm gonna write my name on my cheek and it's gonna be so damn funny that Vi won't be mad at me and I can tell her about Vander."

or the fucking "it's me! Your big, fat hero!" met with nothing but quiet sincerity and gratitude. it catches her off guard bc she's not getting the theatrics that she expected from people that would follow someone like her, she just gets genuine acceptance.

the preview made me want to draw moonpaw!! and her twin of course. :3

also wanted to explore both the individual designs esp since the twin gets her own

less discourse about whether the roman campers are child soldiers more discourse about how reyna/jason/percy/frank consistently tried to topple the democratic process of camp jupiter

Okay but consider post Canon over protective Athena who is sick to death of her most devout being raped.

Athena sticking close to the whole family and promising penelope that she'll keep a close eye on odysseus the first time he has to go into the market and penelope can't go with him. (She was going to go anyway. She's never actually going to let any of them out of her sight ever again. And it's an easy promise to her dearest weaver who seems so distressed to have odysseus leaving her side.)

Athena fully manifesting in the market when someone grabs odysseus with godly flashes of snakes and owls and the drums of war to scream /release him/ (odysseus is feeling indulgent for both his patron and his wife it's so cute that they're this worried it's not like he couldn't defend himself just fine. Especially from whatever poor fuck just grabbed him who definitely doesn't deserve a goddess screaming in his face. Hes trying so hard not to laugh if he did athena would send him flying.)

Athena telling all the other gods that yes she knows odysseus is the favorite barbie doll she choose him well after all and to back the fuck off if any of them bother him again they will have made an enemy of her.

Athena disguising odysseus only as an old beggar from here on out instead of an irresistibly tall and handsome man. Because she saw how uncomfortable nausicaa's attention made him.

rereading the hivebent commentary makes me so annoyed that people are never really willing to analyze the actual effects that alternian culture clearly had on every troll, especially the highbloods. pretty much the only troll who ever actually gets taken in the context of her upbringing is vriska.

no one ever seems willing to think about the character arcs of trolls like equius and terezi, who are also bluebloods with extremely hypocritical and toxic understandings of the people around them-- equius is boiled down to a gross creep who is just like that naturally and definitely didn't get it from his society in any way, whilst terezi is scrubbed of virtually all her flaws and turned into a strange sort of woke love interest character who is all about being gay and too cool to be tricked by any of the alternian propaganda. quadrants? classism? how silly! terezi would never believe in stupid shit like that. she's quirky! and GAY!

despite the fact that equius and terezi both obviously have much, much more to their personalities than that-- and the alternian empire is informing way more dangerous things about these kid's beliefs than "you can kiss your enemies".

One thing that I love about the bar conversation scene and Bea's "I did not say that!" about being royalty is that it implies that by that point Ava and Beatrice have already had a more detailed conversation about Bea's uppriggning. Not only that, but that it was such a lighthearted conversation so that Ava can freely mention it during a moment when they are both having fun and not worry about Bea's mood changing.

No heavy feelings, no fear of breaking the joy bubble. Just another anecdote to laugh about.
