this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.
good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.
sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.
so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.
one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

When the Robins were too young to convincingly pass as drivers, they'd always insist that Bruce drive them to school or anyplace they were running late to, because Bruce's extensive illegal racing experience meant they were guaranteed to make it there on time. Or even early sometimes.

trucy: hang on polly you have a hair on you—oh, it’s long and…blonde. again.
apollo, internally: oh my god they’re all going to think i’m STRAIGHT and that i’m sleeping with a WOMAN
trucy, athena, and wright all thinking: oh that’s for sure klavier’s :/
#ace attorney#klapollo#aa incorrect quotes#apollo justice#klavier gavin#take apollo’s tone as you will#because sometimes people assuming i’m straight is like the actual worst thing you could do to me😤#but sometimes i feel like a secret agent😏 like yes😏 hello fellow straights😏😏#also i like the idea that apollo is just SO intent on minding his own business#that he doesn’t even realize that everyone he knows is gay#like he’s so smart if he thought about it he’d realize immediately but like man is too busy thinking about law for that sorry#so he’s just habitually ‘hello fellow straights’-ing them and they are ALL confused#me projecting tbh i’d rather die than let most coworkers know absolutely anything of value about my life😤#which works until one of them IS actually nice and chill and cool#and then they get blindsided when you finally reveal that you actually DO have a personality lol

Addition to that one post I made ages ago about Dream and Nightmare using very old language and confusing the people around them:
Boyfriend/girlfriend used to mean like, childhood/close friend of a particular gender
Cross comes back from hanging out with Epic and Nightmare off-handedly asks "Did you have fun with your boyfriend Epic?" and Cross splutters so hard he almost clips through the floor.
Meanwhile Ink wanders in from the void and Dream says "How's your boyfriend Error?" and Ink just replies "he's good"
#UTDR#UTMV#Nightmare Sans#Dream Sans#Ships are all implied so I'm not tagging them but you can interpret this as you like#Nightmare is especially confused about Cross freaking out because he says this to Killer all the time and gets nothing#Either because Killer and Color *are* dating and Killer just assumes Nightmare found out and is chill about it#Or he thinks Nightmare is doing some kind of bit and has been yes-and-ing him for years#Almost done with those drawings I swear#But this is further proof of how distracted I am at all times

A dream and a nightmare
@blackkatdraws's silly!
i just want him to be happy bro
by himself not only with black, honestly i like their relationship but most of the time (i think early in their relationship) he always comes out injured or dead and the fact that he doesnt even care about his own safety most of the time just to (me thinks) make black happy makes me so sad/pos
i like the fact that they are being more cute now but im not sure how much that its going to last
#I made this on ibispaint btw!#the second stanley aint Stanley#its the player#its like a before and after in a story?#at least at some point in this one Stanley got to be happy and chill a little#tsp#the stanley parable#:3#tsp stanley#tsp fanart#stanley parable#tspud#tsp blank scripts au#blank scripts au#edit: NOT SAYING THAT IT ISNT NORMAL THAT HE IS HAPPY IN A STORY#HE DEFINITELLY CAN BE#im just assuming since i really cant remember at the moment if he was ever happy on a drawing without black#unless the ones that include black are also the stories the players are going toplay#wait-#hold on#WAIT#IT MIGHT BE#I THINK IT WAS IN AN ANIMATION??? WHERE STANLEY WASNT TALKING AND BLACK WAS LIKE: “why aint you saying anything?”#It MIGHT be black acting#depends in which part of the timeline of blank scripts we are in#Also im not sure which parts of Stan's life are up for the public to play and which parts arent#but considering black can see us (to some extent) its not really private#so that brings the question if black if being genuine or not#ok im just rambling now#think im merging my own narry a lil too much into this

Danny would actually be a great astronaut because he wouldn't need to use the space suit. He could just chill as a ghost.
Also, he could do repairs, since he wouldn't have to worry about floating off into the void of space, since he could just fly back.
I'm just saying, I like his odds at NASA
#danny phantom#danny fenton#this assumes that nasa knows and is chill with the fact that he's a ghost but eh details details#like even acknowledging that he can't stay a ghost forever he wouldn't have to use the suit as much that's gotta be a great benefit too#idk i see your sad danny phantom headcanons and raise you danny getting to follow his dreams

Personally the amount of people who are either "Jake is a stupid himbo" or "Jake is actively malicious" blow my mind. No, Jake isn't stupid, and he's not evil. He's a sixteen year old who is implied to have a mental disability and/or brain damage (it's not exactly clear, Caliborn claims they have the same developmental disorder and Dirk iirc worries that Jake hit his head too much, I guess you can take either with a grain of salt but I digress), and has not had meaningful real life interactions with other human beings in years. He is in the wrong for his actions, but it feels. Purposefully ignorant to claim he's just stupid or just evil for them.
He's socially stunted. He wants to emulate heroes in movies but lacks self esteem and experience. If the alpha kids had enough time to be more fleshed out (and let's be real, if Hussie cared about Jake) this might have been explored more thoroughly. He'd never had the opportunity to learn how to cope with a relationship, how to communicate his needs, or understand that he can't control how other people perceive him like he can through a computer screen.
He doesn't know healthy boundaries because he's never had to use them, and this goes both ways (allowing his friends to sexualise him and treat him like an object, as well as constantly complaining about his relationship with Dirk to Jane) Like yeah he does run away instead of communicating with Dirk and yeah he does dump all his problems on Jane. I love Jane, but one of her problems is her bottling up her feelings and people pleasing until everything blows up. She should have told him off much sooner, and while he was being a dick, it was partly because she allowed him to feel like it was okay to do, since she never told him it wasn't after the first few times or when she was starting to get aggravated.
His problems with Dirk are a little more complicated because we're never actually shown their relationship or how it broke down, but from what we can gather, Jake felt overwhelmed by Dirk's intensity and decided to ignore him rather than tell him try and avoid confrontation but leading to Dirk being frustrated and breaking up with him. Dirk claims he feels like he bullied Jake into a relationship, and though I personally think that's him making it seem worse than it was, it does mean that Dirk probably was trying to go too fast. I've best heard it is Jake being an introvert pretending to be an extrovert.
This is not to say I don't think people can't dislike or even hate Jake, but it's like. Idk. Misinterpreting a character and disliking that version of them is a little redundant to me.
#homestuck#dirkjake#jake english#dirk strider#jane crocker#character meta#homestuck meta#this is kind of in response to those people in the “worst homestuck character” tourney lol#the notes on those posts are atrocious especially the ones about the alpha kids. especially roxy#god if you think roxy is a perfect sngel i assume you haven't read the comic#btw im not mad at the person running the polls or whatever for that they seem fairly chill#its just that homestuck fans are sometimes stupid#and lack reading comprehension and critical analysis#long post#ummm jake dislikers ur fine but please. be correct about him if you're going to not like him#ok bye lol

it’s hard being a chill and patient person in a fandom full of people who jump to the worst conclusions and think everything is going to implode on itself at the slightest sign of things going wrong
#.txt#this is about qsmp#during purgatory i was just going with the flow like eh this is weird but it could be fun#then i look at my dash and everything is on fire and children are dying and people are leaving the fandom#and i’m like Huh#and then with the quackity studios stuff similar shit is happening where i’m just like#man chill the fuck out it’s not the end of the world#just wait and see the end result before coming to rash conclusions and assuming shit about what’s happening#behind the scenes when we Don’t Know what’s going on#just Chill just Vibe it’s all good man

something something one of the reasons Nero went out of his way to stop the shit twins from killing eachother on the top of the Qliphoth - besides not wanting to lose his family 5 minutes after discovering them - being that he didn't want Dante to lose his brother like he lost Credo all those years ago
#well lose his brother again that is#but Nero probably didnt know that at the time#also this makes me question just how much of Dante's life Nero knew#how much did Dante keep a secret besides the whole “vergil is your dad” thing??#obviously i can imagine Dante keeping the whole “i killed my own brother twice” thing a secret from Nero#but what else?#would he tell Nero about his previous adventures to places like Mallet or Dumary?#Sparda being his dad?#anything at all?#or would he elect to remain this elusive figure#that Nero thinks he knows#but actually he realizes he doesnt know anything about Dante#besides the fact that they're one in the same#and that dante is this chill laid-back devil hunter#and also vise versa how much would Nero tell Dante about himself?#Would he tell Dante about his past? i think not because of the way Dante assumed Nero's first instinct was to kill Vergil#I think if Dante knew how Nero grew up as an orphan maybe his reaction would've been different#maybe something less like “i cant have you kill your old man” and more “we (the twins) have some business to sort out first”#something like that#devil may cry#dmc#vergil devil may cry#dante devil may cry#dmc 5#devil may cry 5

finding out ur coworker is way older than you thought and having to very quickly reorient how you talk to them
#art#traditional art#watercolour#fanart#synthv#synthesizer v#genbu#kasane teto#rikka is also here :) i think she likes to cause problems sometimes. because all the adults in her life are dweebs#and very easy to cause problems with <3#anyone else have this happen before. im older than a lot of my university peers and i always have been#because i took 5 years in highschool and my undergrad has been like 6 years and counting#(hashtag learning disability <3 ) and like thats chill to me i dont mind#but now i usually assume everyones way younger than me and i get shocked when theyre not. a buddy in some of my classes#when i first met her i absolutely and completely assumed she was like barely 19 and talked to her as such#like i dont talk down to people or anything but i do soften the way i talk a bit and give a bit extra patience with younger peers#cause yknow. i remember what it was like being 19. being 26 is WAY easier lol so i wanna give em a bit of leeway yknow#anyway a few months after meeting her i found out she was actually a year older than me and a grad student when she ended up as a TA in#another class i took. i felt so bad. we bonded tho and she didnt mind she thought it was kinda funny when i was like WAIT UR A GRAD STUDENT#i thought she was like a first or second year undergrad..............#also yeah im a 31yo teto fan. i dont mind the popular fanon that she has a separate age that makes her actually 15 and#i dont mind that more interpretations have her like that BUT for my internal canon she is a grown ass woman because i think its fun <3#she pays taxes. she goes to work parties. she can rent a car. i love it#let teto rent a car. let her rent a car.#yknow im exicted to be 31. i still got a few more years of being a 20 something which is fun. but being a 30 something sounds like it rules

iwtv ep. 11 (s2ep4) - misconceptions pt. 1
it started with people claiming that louis “got the ick” around armand in ep 11. we know that louis didn’t consider armand his companion after 1.5 years of seeing each other. but while I agree that louis is apprehensive about armand, i don’t agree that it’s because he’s not attracted to armand. if anything, i think the sex is the least of their problems, and i think louis’s apprehension comes instead from his suspicion that armand’s feelings for him aren’t genuine.
louis obviously likes spending time with armand and having sex with him, as shown by them continuing to see each other and have sex after louis claims they’re not companions. no, we don’t see the sex act, but just like in season 1, you can infer the existence of a sexual relationship without seeing it. Like, how do you think they ended up in bed in only their underwear?
and contrary to popular belief, they'd finished having sex before dreamstat appeared. dreamstat shows up when armand presses the issue of louis not calling their relationship a companionship (note that louis’s more comfortable with “affair” and “romance” – words that imply attraction, just not commitment).
we see dreamstat’s shadow before he fully materializes:
between that shadow and his first words, we learn that louis has talked to armand about grace, but not that much about florence – enough that armand should know that grace is not louis’s mother. that armand’s first impulse was to just name the only female relative louis’s talked about, then blame louis for him getting the answer wrong instead of just admitting he didn’t know – well, that’s not making louis confident that armand cares about him enough to deepen the relationship.
when louis tries to reassure armand that he likes their relationship now, armand again gets annoyed that it’s not a “companionship,” so dreamstat finally says, “oh god, how do you manage it?” it’s armand’s domineering personality that puts louis on guard.
i’m pretty sure louis is not wishing he was with lestat. in fact, thinking of lestat makes him angry, reminds him of a relationship dynamic he does not want.
so instead, he decides to commit to armand more - he agrees to come to more coven events. it doesn't get much clearer than that:
when dreamstat laughs and mocks “i love you,” he’s not talking about louis saying it to armand. when louis tells armand 'i love you,' dreamstat almost looks offended because we know louis did not say it to lestat in real life.
but when armand says it back, dreamstat laughs. louis confronts dreamstat after armand leaves, then dreamstat mockingly repeats armand’s “I love you.”
in all iterations, dreamstat does not believe in louis and armand’s relationship, but not because louis lacks feelings for armand. i believe dreamstat is mocking armand’s feelings because louis is still uncertain about armand’s feelings for him.
to me, this scene doesn't prove louis never loved armand, it shows that louis didn't think armand loved him.
#loumand#discourse with the vampire#iwtv#i feel like this episode messed a lot of people up#it's a mistake to assume louis only wants lestat#louis reasonably has negative feelings about his relationship with lestat due to their past#his discomfort with armand goes hand in hand with that#louis wants armand but he needs armand to chill out#louis de pointe du lac#armand
