Can I be real for a second? I don't think L giving a foot massage to Light was very in-character of him. Like manga!L would've totally scoffed at how pathetic anime!L appeared when he did that.
I like the rain scene bc it's really pretty (also Light MOANS bc of L? *sighs* yeah i ship lawlight) but I'm always so ?? at anime!L's behavior? The anime made L way too melancholic and y'know self-deprecating kinda guy. In contrast, manga!L (whom I love to death) is so so confident in doing what he's doing and has the time of his life during the Kira case as he's intellectually challenged (by Light) as he figures out the case little by little.
I don't get where the anime creators got the idea that L is a very sad character who cares about justice so much so that he's actually Justice itself? Manga!L enjoys solving cases. I'm not saying that L doesn't care about justice at all- just that he cares more about winning.
So, the anime creators looked at a character who cares about winning (& his own ego) than everything else and decided to... make him give a foot massage to his nemesis (surprise surprise bible symbolism featuring L as Jesus *🤮* coming up) apparently due to accepting Light's (boy's first debut as Judas) 'betrayal' how can there be betrayal when there was no trust between them in the first place and saying "It is the least I can do to atone for my sins"...
The only way I could've made a little sense of this is if L was mocking Kira with that line but the anime just had to go above & beyond to make it (L's actions) seem too genuine for that to be true. which is. so. FRUSTRATING
Manga!L wouldn't have done anything like that. Not even ironically (he'd have thought it to be below him for pretending to be accepting his defeat mockingly to Kira). Even Manga!L's not enough of a bastard to try to compare himself with Jesus (and just after knowing (god knows how) that he's going to die)- like that's too stupid omg: even for a mockery.
Does he actually think that Light would pick up on the (him as Jesus) symbolism and be like 'oh no! L is too noble like Jesus to die by my betrayal i'm such a bad judas how come i NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE'... and decide to spare L's life? Or embrace his inner Judas like the bad bitch he is and finish L for that godawful mockery of Jesus?
Whenever I think about Anime!Light's in-character reaction I crack up as it would be smth like 'wow this guy who graduated summa cum laude from torture university is pretending to be Jesus? lol what a real piece of work. would've expected better from you L: so pathetic lmao i hope rem kills you soon i'm so done with you rn- rip 💀'
Manga!L (if he knew he were going to die (don't know how that's possible in the anime; still we're talking about how the anime creators seem to see L as Jesus so ~anything is possible~) that is) would never go 'guess i'll die' accept his defeat offering a foot massage to his enemy and inwardly throw a pity party being all "… It'll be lonely, won't it?" GIRL you were the one going on & about how you'd EXECUTE Kira once you catch him on live tv (also saying that you'd bring Kira's head to the task force) I REALLY doubt you'd feel lonely if either one of you were to die- that (killing each other) was the point!!
Manga!L is a selfish character: he values his victory above all else so the anime making him accept defeat that easily + gracefully doesn't sit well with me.
#death note#l lawliet#light yagami#manga vs anime#manga!L#anime!L#anime!Light#the rain scene#the foot massage scene#yes i ship lawlight; no i don't think the rain scene was very faithful to L's character in the manga; yes we exist#as you can see i rlly RLLY don't like anime's take on L: i prefer the og manga!L :)#anime!L just isn't my cup of tea#manga!L's confidence in his assholery is much rather appreciated#i keep thinking about how i don't like certain parts of dn anime: the first of which being this rain scene#the second being how the anime handles Sayu's kidnapping and Light's reaction to it#but that's a can of worms i'll open later#i can't shut up apparently so here's a teaser: Light wouldn't have MURDERED Sayu OH MY GOD READ THE GODDAMN MANGA#in which he bends over backwards to protect her! and succeeds!! (at the cost of losing the death note to Mello) would you look at that??#yeah i'm aware anime!Light doesn't kill Sayu but the way he's shown seriously considering it#(and choosing to let her live only so as to not increase suspicion)#leaves me so ANGRY#SAYU MEANS A LOT TO LIGHT OK?#he would not fucking do that#aaaaand....end rant#p#my meta#sorta#100

ok sorry for more eso posting but I tend to lurk on the community and the specific response to "increased overland difficulty" in that new letter is fascinating to me. It's basically 50/50 "THANK GOD! Everyone has been asking for this. This is the most obviously good decision they have ever made!" and
#i am squarely in the second category btw#which is why i find it funny seeing so many people act like this will be a unanimously loved decision with such confidence#i also have found that a lot of the contrast comes down to each side making way different assumptions about how people play and what#'increased difficulty' means#like its more hardcore people who play games like this for the challenge or the combat assuming it will turn overland combat into#engaging and challenging (in a good way) fights. and they tend to assume thats what everyone wants (or should want) out of questing#and then casual solo questers worried its just going to be turning everything into damage sponges and making everything tedious#mine#eso#i think it would be alright if they increased the difficulty of delve/quest bosses and maybe included some tougher enemies here and there#but i doubt it

welp that's a wrap for this year ig. it's funny i think this year would have been another oops all trigun except that whenever i got really super busy FAR too busy to make trigun art i did usually end up doodling something else lmao
december's spot is @stardvst-diving's lysithea :)
#art summary#2023 summary of art#2023 art summary#txt#honestly. i think this is the first year in a long time where i really don't feel that happy with the progress i've made with my art#like in 2020 i finally got comfortable with drawing digitally after SO MANY YEARS of chipping away at it#and 2021 i finally pinned down some stylistic choices i enjoy working with and figured out how to color#and 2022 i mostly just pushed the limits of what ''finishing'' art even looks like for me#since in the past i'd tend to leave everything pretty half baked#2023 was SUPPOSED to be the year i started into things like comics and composition and increasing dynamism#but i think mostly i just ended up hammering out more stuff in regards to color and line confidence#which are both good. i'm glad i made that progress#but it's a little disappointing i didn't finish the year with the specific takeaways i'd gone into it wanting to have#sighhhhhh maybe next year idk

This'll mostly get hate love from Lottie (please remember that you love me, and you once told me that you'd remember me fondly), I know, but I still want to make note of it. Now, Jing Yuan wouldn't say the following with the same confidence (not that he lacks it, but it's different) as the man in this video, but I have to note... it's just, the energy. It's the warmth with which he speaks, and smiles, the effortless ease of his composure and words. But also the gaiety, the tease. It's that little boyish charm that is still wrapped up in this man that is too old for it, but it fits so incredibly well.
And as a wise person (hi again, Lottie) once said: it's the whole- he must have been a bit of a scoundrel in his youth but this is an older, more mature version that still has that twinkle in the eye.
#[ out of character. ] don't bend or water it down. don't try to make it logical. rather: follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ jing yuan. ] history will make its own judgment. if i succeed; it will state that i am supremely confident in my masterful strategy.#[ jing yuan: meta. ] have you memorized all that? / yes general. / very good. but only when you've forgotten it: will you be ready.#[ and then i think of various lines. stuff like... 'in much wisdom is much grief. and he who increases knowledge... increases sorrow'. ]#[ and... 'no books. no wisdom. only you'. which is the lesson essentially that jing yuan wants to teach to yanqing. ]#[ that yes. you should hold knowledge-- you should hold it close to you. but ultimately the true lesson is yourself. ]#[ /emotional. ]#[ i can't believe ezio in ac: revelations is what clicks in my head in oddly specific ways. ]#[ my favorite game actually. i hate life. i hate it here. ]#[ god. even 'I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH FOR ONE LIFE'-- yeah. /yeah/ you have. ]#[ 'and now it [your name] lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream.' aaaAAAAAAAAAAAA. ]#[ but also the message held at the end of the extended trailer of revelations. how ultimately /he/ doesn't matter in the grand... ]#[ scheme on things. and that hurts me physically. ]#[ but it's a lot about his warmth-- but also the tease. it's the little boyish charm that is still wrapped up in this man too old for it. ]

with respect to myself, this whole “i need to wait till i’m out of school to date,” “i need to wait till i’m more historically, politically, and culturally educated to date” is all bullshit. it’s the top surgery. that’s the holdup. they chop these tits off and i’m ready to go.
#for the record - i still think that those first two things are the WISEST course of action#but i’m just saying that i don’t think anyone could hold me back if the opportunity arises#because the top surgery thing is my real hangup#because that would be a LOT to go through with someone in a new relationship and i would rather Not#so it’s better to wait#and i have a feeling that MY confidence will increase a ton in the aftermath as well#i’ll FINALLY be able to dress how i want holy SHIT#no more needless layering and strategically shapeless flannels#thank GOD#and in the meantime i’ll just keep trying to learn as much as i can on the way there!#so that i’m as prepared as possible whenever the moment comes along#i’m really working on not being mean to myself about not knowing things#nobody comes into the world with this knowledge#and i was not given the resources growing up that encouraged me to learn these things#just because some people had parents or friends who introduced them to things when they were younger or grew up in cultural centers#doesn’t make them cooler or better than me#i am educating myself now and that is what is important#i enjoy learning and that is what is important#i WILL become my ideal self one day - i am getting better#i am not perfect - i am still fucking up a ton and insecure and stretching myself to the absolute limit#which is why it is probably NOT a good idea to date right now!!!!!!#but who knows… i’ll just go where the road takes me#and see how that works out

Shout out to the pianist who played that piece, that's what I call acting in music!
#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#it's how you can hear ruby starting out slow and hesitant playing the notes one at a time#and then as she increases in confidence and gets into the flow of the piece; details like phrase shaping and articulation come through#i don't know if it's millie gibson performing the recording of that piece but damn it's beautiful acting via music

Can I just say how much I love when Jedi Master Anakin sees someone touch Obi-Wan and immediately has to touch him in the same spot to erase the other person and replace with only-ever-Anakin! Not sure what would have made Anakin more feral, the bruises on Obi-Wan’s hips or the outfit. <3 I'm imagining him waiting impatiently for Obi-Wan to show up at the ball he didn't want to go to and then just KILL BILL sirens as "Quinlan's Padawan" enters.
can confirm there's a scene where obi-wan is talking with another senator about his outfit and which senator paid for it and who helped him but anakin's on the other side of the conversation having missed the context and is now thinking that obi-wan's casually talking about participation in a gangbang and that's literally the straw that breaks his back it's kill bill sirens for the rest of the chapter
#asks#stacy's mom au#of the estimated 8k we are at 3k#unfortunate#but also steadily increasing#i have a very good feeling it will be finished soon#emphasis on soon with no specific date in mind#but i do know what i want to happen next and for the rest of this chapter#and how i want the chapter to end :)#so im confident#also omg now you can edit tags on posts???#this wont affect my rate of typos in the tags but dang it's good to know!

I told bf I really wanted to go out somewhere glamourous for drinks for my bday this year. Maybe in London. I hope we can make it happen.
#i feel like my life is just beginning sometimes#but simultaneously i'm approaching middle age#when i was younger i always thought i wasn't the type of person to do anything glamourous#but i think it was mainly about clothes and confidence. I knew glamour meant dresses and makeup and i didn't want it to#but since coming out i'm more confident dressing how i want and my confidence has increased AND i have disposable income#so it's like i realised i actually can do things now but omg it's SCARY#i don't want to waste my life and every second feels precious#i don't want to have a shit night and be disappointed but i'll never know if i don't try new things#i feel so annoyingly naive and i'm certain everyone can tell that i have barely any experience of going out to bars and clubs#plus the whole medication assisted lightweight situation...genuinely embarrassing but at least with my partner it wouldn't matter#i have to try anyway i have to try and have some fun now that i can and now i'm becoming my true self

-. on my third cup of chamomile I forgot my mother telling folks when i was a kid that she didn't like making me chamomile tea because it doesn't work on me it has the effect on me coffee has on most folks I am READY to fucking GO what's up chamomile tea to sleeP? NO MY BEAUTIES chamomile tea to something pls insert something that makes sense and is hype i can't think of anything, SO--
I do wanna get to some ooc messages but I can't promise I can get my brain in order to be coherent BUT ANYWAY, BEFORE THAT, dropping this asshole
Kim Minjun, 37, he/him, bloodsucker asshole baby~ Not in the literal sexy vampire sense, I mean he rose from the dirt and decided to make his living thriving off of what we made celebrity culture into, the very notion of celebrity culture itself
You want those pictures of Spider-man on your desk by Wednesday? You wanna know who's doing who and who's smoking what? You want exclusive details on a private party to start shit, get legal info acquired illegally just to have a story to tell about the latest celebrity divorce? Well, then Minjun's your fucking guy
Actually born Kim Jung-hoon but he changed it to Minjun because it sounds more... modern, fresh, better
He's a sleaze, a bit of a motherfucker honestly (forgive the cursing I'm matching his energy, his attitude), he doesn't care about the lives he could potentially be ruining, he operates according to the idea of 'well that's how this world works, don't like it? jump ship'
He'll dig up just about anything, he's started from being a sneaky piece of shit stalker following celebrities around to having built enough connections to be among the first to know when someone with a Reputation is entering this or the other club
But that's not even where his real forte is, oh no; gathering info is easy, figuring out how to get it around is difficult: who to sell it to? who's gonna pay the most, who's gonna turn into an enemy if you share the wrong name, the wrong location, expose the wrong people? no, he's good at finding shit, but the complexities of having to mind connections and be careful with who you drag into the dirt? not his favourite
What Minjun really excels at... is spinning shit around, he can turn the most innocuous of pictures into the drama of the century, by carefully nurturing doubts and rumours, he's a snake, a bastard
He's always hated the entertainment industry, he thinks himself above it, because he's not as desperate as them, he doesn't do what he does because he's otherwise got no worth in life, he doesn't sell his soul, he sells the souls of others
He doesn't think he's on the right side of history, oh no, by no means, he just thinks... well, don't become a celebrity if you don't want this treatment
The more I write about him the more I hate him lmao BUT GOOD WE NEED VILLAINS, UNREEDEEMABLE ONES
He comes from a relatively poor background, if comparing it to Hyun for example, but if he'd minded his business he would have just... lived a 'regular' life
He's particularly efficient when used as 'spy on the competition', new script ideas, new music ideas, new design ideas, you want to know what Shakespeare's next big play will be, Nicholas Bottom? well, then hit up this fucking clown
Only child, if his mother knew what he was up to she'd beat the shit out of him, he doesn't respect his father (haven't decided if he even lives still) but he does love his mother which is why he hasn't told her
Biromantic but he's a walking red flag so I hope the broadened pool of dating options doesn't fucking date him, demisexual
He can probably be fixed but WHY? why would you do that to yourself
He does have one little plus point, he's kind of like old school mafia in the sense that he doesn't mess with children, and anyone below 20 is a child to him, so he doesn't really mess with young idols and trainees
He actually hates the idol industry he thinks it's exploitative and abusive which is real fucking rich coming from him, but hey
I'LL WORK ON MORE ♥
#the bloodsucker;about#;ooc#i completely forgot about this aspect of my childhood it was kind of prevalent enough for a moment that it came back to me#that i have a relationship to chamomile tea and THAT'S WHAT IT WAS it's like a sugar rush or something#it doesn't help that i slept very badly tonight and my sleep-deprivation and the bags under my eyes#may be glamorous and fashionable but my brain's going so fast oh mgy DON FG#AND MY CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING AS I TYPE HOW ARE YOU#i'm on s1 finale of the bear and they weren't joking when they said it was good IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD#i almost cried at least once per episode just because i love these people being people#when i finished the first episode i literally sat through the credits because i was gaping at my screen#ANYWAYS PAPARAZZI BASTARD MAN#snuck in a musical reference did you see it#the voice they gave him in the witch in german was so good#the dub itself WAS WONKY but yknow#you know if Lynnie's beautiful magnificent celebrity verse were a show i could co write in#i'd kill this one off LMAO DFKLDLJSGFGLDFJGHJHFHKL#i'd also pitch a wedding episode for Deva & Aeri or just some-- GOSH i love THEM SO#i'm laughing at my own jokes btw if you hear something weird while reading this

much as i hate to say it, those youtube girlies were right- being photogenic is literally about angles and lighting and it’s a skill that can be learnt/taught
#and yeah ofc western beauty standards will definitely be a factor in how ‘good’ people view your photos as#but your confidence can increase like a hundredfold from just trying different things#michi.txt
