Call me homophobic, but I don't actually think it's great representation to stick a complex, dynamic, newly-realized bisexual character permanently with a flat, boring, underdeveloped love interest just because that was the first guy who showed interest.
#in my hater era#like what you like#but goddamn#the argument that this is somehow outstanding queer representation is baffling#they have had 13 episodes to DO something with this character and they have chosen not to#no development anywhere#even though they literally brought him back so there is built-in background ripe for the picking#and yet#anti bucktommy#anti tommy kinard#the saddest part is#i don't even hate him#he's not important enough to hate#there is just absolutely nothing to him#and that's sad because whether or not he was intended to be long-term or endgame#the writers are better than this and the character SHOULD have SOME development#like why are we all swooning over 911 shoehorning in a returning character to tell a bi buck story#but treating that character like the most expendable love interest in history#i don't like him but actually i think queer characters#and especially ones who are part of such a major later-in-life bisexual realization storyline for a beloved main#deserve a little more respect than what 911 has been giving him#anyway#might delete later i don't know#also i need to stop looking at the 911 subreddit#worst takes i've ever seen that place is a cesspool

Literally all I want for Season 2, or fanfics, is for VOX to use the fact that Alastor was wounded defending the hotel and disappeared and Charlie et all didn't even LOOK FOR HIM - not AGAINST Alastor but to try and get Alastor ON HIS SIDE. Cause you know for all his being obvious about how much he hates Alastor what he really wants is Alastor on his team, joining the Vees, being his friend (and maybe more) again, and if he sees a chance to get that he will jump on it.
Please, please, please. Vox has the footage, and from what we know, he hasn't released it to the public yet. I am so expecting him to hang it over Alastor's head and rub it in Alastor's face that no one went looking for him.
We also know that the Hazbin crew didn't see Alastor's fight, and as far as we know, they don't know the extent of his injuries either. When/if Vox does release that footage, I want that to be when they realize just how injured Alastor was.
He literally almost died and all they know is that he disappeared halfway through the battle. I'm so curious about what they think made Alastor to leave. If they knew he was super injured, I can't imagine Charlie would've left him to his own devices, or at the very least, she would've checked in on him from time to time.
So do they think he just upped and bailed on them? Do they think he abandoned the fight? Do they think he just fled like a coward the moment he was injured? As much as I make fun of Alastor for that fight, I don't think he fled out of cowardice.
I mean, he took a MASSIVE hit right across his chest. From the top side of his left shoulder all the way to the right side of his torso--almost to his hip. Look at how big his wound is!
Who wouldn't retreat after taking a hit like that? I'm pretty sure (aside from Sir Pentious getting holy blasted to ash) out of all the Hazbin crew, Alastor suffered the most damage from that fight.
Not only that, but the hit was deep enough that blood was dripping down Adam's guitar.
I'm not being dramatic. Go back and rewatch that scene. Alastor's blood was dripping down it. It wouldn't have gotten on Adam's guitar to that degree if the cut was only surface level.
Alastor wasn't just bleeding from his chest, but he was bleeding from his mouth too. Either slamming into the parapet made him bite his tongue, or he was coughing up blood.
And considering how many sparks and bits of light were coming off his cane (green light in particular, which is the color that highlights his abilities) it has obvious significance to his power.
And it was cut in half.
That is the face of a man going "ohhhh...I'm fucked."
Adam had the upper hand. Alastor was in no condition to keep fighting.
If he stayed, he would have died.
Him retreating was the logical thing to do.
AND NOBODY KNOWS THAT. Nobody but the Vee's.
When/if the Hazbin crew see that footage (or see the extent of the wound themselves) I hope they realize just how close Alastor was to dying and understand that he didn't leave the fight for no real reason. If they give him any flack for retreating or not taking Adam down, I want them to feel bad about it when they see why that was.
#I like making fun of Alastor for not bring an angelic weapon to that fight#but he had real reason to retreat after taking a hit like that#he didn't leave out of cowardice#he left out of self preservation#BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE DIED IF HE STAYED#he was in no condition to fight#and even if he was physically able to still fight#we don't actually know if his cane being cut in half would've impacted his ability to use his power#I think it would've considering how panicked he looked#and how many little sparks were coming off of it#if the Hazbin crew get on his case about it they better feel bad when they realize why he left#I mean out of all of them HE was the one who it was DECIDED would fight Adam#Not Charlie the literal princess of Hell#Not Vaggie who had worked under Adam's command for who knows how many years#ALASTOR was chosen to do that#He hadn't even MET Adam until that moment#he really took one for the team and they better appreciate that#asks#kitesunesongs#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel alastor#the radio demon

hulu was doing live coverage of the election until 2:00am, at which point my power randomly went out and when I reopened the hulu app on my tv the election coverage was replaced with
#us politics#I don't care if it was intentional or a coincidence or what that shit is funny as hell#I got like 3 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours#my closest friends are sleeping and don't know yet#we're going to dc a month from now on vacation and none of us expected this#I've been on twitter and it's crushing I see my friends in fear for their lives#I see the worst people in the world cheering for their own downfall because all they care about is someone else having it worse#like they'll douse the vulnerable among us with gasoline and pray for hellfire thinking they'll be safe#but the flames don't discriminate like they do and we're all going to burn#except for the wealthy and powerful of course they'll be polluting the solar system or dead from old age#and the only hell they'll ever know is the one millions upon millions of people eagerly built in their names#in the name of 'greatness'#(man I get really melodramatic when I haven't slept)#and I'm scared too I didn't think this was going to happen and I have no idea what the future holds anymore#and I know I'm privileged to be able to say this when people's lives are about to be destroyed but I think I'm more sad than anything#so disappointed that 70 million people voted for *that*#because it's completely unconscionable to anyone with a soul but somehow he's winning the popular vote for the first time???#what do you mean more people like him now than they did in 2016 and 2020#this genuinely feels like a nightmare are we really so far gone as a country??? as a society?????#that we would not only let a convicted felon (who was served a lawsuit ON ELECTION DAY) on the ballot#but that SEVENTY. MILLION. PEOPLE. would vote for him? to run the country??? to represent us on a global stage?????#*THAT'S* what we as a nation have chosen??? what the fuck is wrong with this country?????#why him indeed#and yet I still have hope#inexplicably

What would've happened if Chosen went back to live with the CG after the Showdown?
Chosen doesn't know how long he's been standing there, nor why he was standing there in the first place. It's not like he can't leave; he could easily fly and run away from this unpleasant place. Yet his feet seem to be rotting from being in the same spot for a long time.
Why is he here?
Was it because of loneliness? Regret? Guilt? Or maybe something akin to revenge?
No, it can't be.
He promised he wouldn't end up like him, let alone someone like Noogai. Guess that's the weight he has to carry for being the Chosen One. Again, something else to blame his creator for.
This inexplicable need to feel responsible for everything that happens around him, to be worthy of an imposed and painful title he didn't ask for. Maybe if he was called "normal" or "Regular" as a stickfigure, everything would be easier for him, something that could show he's only the victim in all of this. Because that would mean it isn't, and it won't be, and it's not his fault, no matter what he does.
He's only defending himself, surviving, yes, surviving, as always.
And now it seems like fate forces him to also protect them
Because they have no idea whose PC they've been living with and Chosen does, so if something happened to those kids, Chosen isn't sure if he would be able to sleep at night again. Just because of the knowledge of the past.
No matter how much he changes his name, to Chosen, he's still the selfish creator he used to be.
Behind those glasses that reveal nothing of his true intentions.
Noogai.
Or how the kids call him.
Alan.
«What a stupid name» Chosen thinks bitterly
"Hey!, You okay?" Suddenly, a worried voice snaps him out of his thoughts— that orange kid who refuses to accept he saved them all. He was standing a few feet away from him, while his other friends were hovering nearby but not interacting directly yet.
Chosen sighs again
«What did I get myself into?»
#alan becker#animator vs animation#stickmans#ava#fanart#ava fanart#ava tdl#ava the chosen one#ava the dark lord#ava the second coming#ava tsc#ava tco#i don't know why but i think the only reason Chosen would stay at least for a while is to watch over the CG.#its like the oldest child not believing how good the youngest is living when they had the same parents/hj#Going back Au

nah but it's so wild because like. It's almost a normal 'sibling growing up' story, where you understand why the younger ones feel betrayed and abandoned, but it hurts to see their anger or closing off directed at the older sibling who literally just went through a normal developmental stage. But then they both grow a little and it all smooths out even better than it was until a few years down the road you got the second half, where the older sibling feels betrayed by the person they've always seen as a kid becoming their peer and standing more on their own. And it's all understandable and it all hurts and it all smooths over.
Except with tmnt 2007 they're all adults together and Splinter really said 'It's time for Leo to go on a journey of self-discovery, he needs opportunities for further growth and he shouldn't be relying on us anymore. The rest of you should go outside less but I guess you can have jobs if you want.'
like bro they would've been on that journey together, the 'growing up without me' angst was literally unnecessary because they were all growing up. At the same time. Together.
Being the most skilled and obedient student was the only mark of maturity Splinter was willing to recognize when his sons were all becoming adults in front of him and he manufactured a divide that literally did not need to exist
#there are other things they needed to resolve#but honestly a lot of those things could still be traced back to splinter trying to use competition to motivate them#'i've chosen one of you who is the best and he's the only one who's allowed to grow up#in the meantime he's not even nice to leo#gives him no guidance about what he's supposed to get out kf his training#no warning that the ancient one is going to be so harsh to him#doesn't try to go after him or check in on him when he stops writing??#i see a lot of 'why didn't his brothers go after him' in leo angst fics and yeah but like. why didn't his father#why didn't the adult who is in fact his father go after him when he was gone for an entire extra year#wha the heck is going on there?#03 splinter would never#and i can only assume that the way he walks in to see donnie getting yelled at and about to punched and responds with#'donatello why aren't you being strong where your brothers are weak? our family is lost if you don't take the fall for everything'#is indicative of how he normally treats leo and sure enough the second something goes wrong he's#yelling at his son who just got back from being missing for a year#blaming him for not being able to control a team that splinter has made minimal effort to preserve while he's bee away#and also why does Splinter even want Leo to control his other sons#and we see both Raph and Mikey hurting so much from being overlooked#I wonder if they know how the lack of attention is a layer of protection#i wonder if that's part kf why they're so angry about it. because they're protective of leo and later donnie#and if so probably in a subconscious way#that's enough tags yellow

KILL!!!!!!!!!
#my post#this is so mean. why did i make this#but also....... the gun is in your hands now#i'll admit that it's my fault for putting the gun in your hand... however i've no say in what you choose to do with it#will you pull the trigger and accept whatever happens from now on? will you give yourself into the role forced upon you?#no one will know anything if you don't say anything. there will be no consequences or repercussions to this choice#but you will know. and you will need to live with that knowledge for the rest of your life#a gun not fired is like an itch not stratched#in the end i have no control over what you do... but free will is a funny thing#the brain is very susceptible to suggestion... everything we see and experience will remain with us in some way#if that's the case then how much control do we really have in our lives? how do we separate what we really want vs what we're told to want?#things like hunger... desire... they're all things the body asks for. but are they things that we truly want?#or are they merely a mechanism built into us for the sake of survival?#everything blends into everything. your past actions will inform your current actions. you're the only one who's ever lived your life#you're the only one who will ever live your life#little variables and experiences we all share... but the order varies greatly from person to person. everything is just a series of events#the way i see the world is different than the way you see it regardless of how similar they are#what choice will you make now? and how does it differ from the choice you would've made a week ago? a month? a year? does it differ at all?#does free will truly exist? i think it does... but not in the way most people think it exists#you and i... we might differ on that thought. or we might not.#regardless of whatever i've been rambling about right now... refusing to make a choice is still a choice you make. life is ironic like that#does one of them really have to go? that's for you to decide now#i've merely chosen to put the gun in your hand. to make you aware of the possibilities#so i hope you realize what power your choices have#dca fandom#daycare attendant#yeah sometimes i just say things that i think are deep but they're really not#i hope the choices i make have an effect on others. even if it's just one person...#if i can make even just one person think about something they wouldn't have normally thought about then isn't that a win?#life is a series of choices... ''it'd be great if you could see a figure of light by the time you die'' ♡

"the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story can't hurt you!!"
the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story:
#WE HERE IN K L O T H S T U R#the witcher books#[ Nobody liked that. ]#i like how the first two 'main' translations (like published for mass market circulation ones i mean)#were like 'no we can't call it a strzyga... no no...'#(maybe like: 'the english readers won't understand...')#and then when the game and book hit (i.e. both beginning with geralt fighting the striga)#everyone was like 'whoa that striga was really cool'#idk idk enough about it yet to say anything definitively#but my experience and all the other reviews and experiences i've read#from other anglophone readers with no prior exposure to polish or broader slavic myth or culture#has been just like: 'whoa i never knew about that... that's really unique and cool'#and on the flip side. originally witcher gained popularity in part because of the familiarity of the fairy tale#and so despite that witcher in general takes a lot of everything from across europe#if i may just summarize it really obtusely and without taking the precaution of nuance and all#although the first two translations were very much intended to feature polish writers and writing#in the way of the actual translation it feels like they tried to diminish its 'polishness' for the english reader#like for example in chosen by fate itself there are no diacritics (though idk maybe that was a lack of capability of the printing press)#it FEELS like that i'm not saying it was intentional but#for example when you don't say 'leshies' and instead say 'bugbears' that feels like diminishing it#but then later when the witcher's quote-unquote 'polishness' is allowed to come through clearer#then it actually is part of why english audiences were like whoa this is interesting i like it :)#you know real-life events are stories too. and i feel like this is a story with a good moral: 'be yourself'#this is also one of the prime subjects where i disagree with sapkowski lol#because re: 'death of the author' theory type stuff. authors cannot control how their works are interpreted by their audiences#works get interpreted on their own fortunately or unfortunately#so though i think it would be misled to engage with the witcher as if its ONLY good quality is its 'polishness'#i think that also it should be acknowledged how its unique take on culture made it appealing to both domestic and foreign audiences#i think where the problem lies is when we believe it can't be both polish and a blend of multiple cultures and traditions#because like yeah. author is an arthurian weeb

When the POV character is (a bit of) a cunt and his parallel (who is something he could be if things were different and vice versa) is bound to him inseparably through the sheer power of obsession and the refusal to let go, creating a power dynamic that can be likened only to Munchausen by proxy but exhibited by Aesop's frog and scorpion.
Well I think that's a little bit gay. In a very bad way.
#i won't say what exactly I'm talking about because this applies to several things at once#and also because I'm curious about what you think this is about or what this reminds you off#because it's possible that some of you know of a narrative i don't and I'm a connoisseur of this#possibly because it's a bit of a twist on the more traditional Knight archetype and it combines that with my favourite genre of protagonist#(cunt who was declared the narrative's special little boy which is the only reason why they have whatever role they have)#(traditionally it's someone who was chosen to save the world / a group / anything by a god and who is fighting#against someone who is actually worse than them which does help the perception of them)#(but this is not the rule as there are at least two exceptions where the role of the god is fulfilled by something else that holds power)

it must be sad to be someone who can't find and doesn't want to look for the meaning in anything. thinking art is boring, thinking the long, drawn-out semi-abstract explanations musicians and artists give before they show their work is meaningless fake bullshit. it must be such a dull world to live in where one doesn't obsessively examine every word, every note from a work you love to find the beauty and the message and meaning and purpose in every grain of sand that gives it form. how sad.
#bluebird.txt#yes this is a vaguepost no it's not about anyone here at all#but like. curtains are just blue type bitches how does it feel for the world to be so sad and empty?#im out here overanalyzing every word out of a children's movie and finding even the most obvious perhaps of meanings in a certain note#or repeated motif#and it makes everything look wonderful#adds to my appreciation for it for the detail no matter how small or seemingly inconsequential#everything is a choice and some people don't understand that#when art is good it's all about intention#speaking as someone who's working on their art (music) and learning how to make those choices#and even that there are choices i can make bc sometimes im like woah i didn't know i could do that!#and those choices make such a huge difference those tiny choices#anytime you watch something even if the author or composer or whoever didnt think much of a certain choice#they still made it and it still makes it different than it would've been if they'd chosen a different word/chord/color#the world and art can be beautiful. why would you choose to see it so boringly???#truly it boggles the mind#violaposting#this is why i like theory

Don't talk to me; I'm still recovering from the fact that the first computer-synthesized voice to sing in 1961 - the IBM 704 - sang Daisy Bell, a love song.
#positivity#do the computers know i love them#sometimes i watch the recording of the audio and it blows me away that i can do that#like yes daisy bell was a very popular song from 1892 but the point still stands#there were a million simple songs to give the computer to sing and the one that was chosen talked about enduring love#so yes you can be apathetic about it and say that there's no point in thinking about it deeper than a proof of concept for 60s tech#but i say nonsense to that - nay i will not stand for it here. everything is deep. everything is significant#to teach a computer a love song is the highest form of humanity and i don't care if that's dumb#hot take (semi-related): computers have humanity in them. humans made machines. we gave them purpose and existence.#(that's not saying that computers are 1:1 human BUT that humans made those machines - everything out there originated because of us)#(and i think that's why i don't buy that machines are more neutral than a human especially in judgement)#(a machine has whatever judgement their people had while making it. it isn't neutral at all based on the technology we have today)#i'm not obsessed with machines but i've learned to respect and admire them for what they are#i'd say that i would want to learn about tech for fun but i'm not enthused by it like other transsexuals are

What if stick!Alan gains powers at some point? He’s fidgeting with a random item and accidentally resizes it somehow, and he just silently stares at it wondering how that just happened and what it means
god that'd be funny. SC is so excited because HOLY FUCK THAT'S SO COOL!!!!! and alan is just unsure if he should be worried about this ability or not. i think it'd be fun if he could do similar things to what agent does with his array of tools as well. plus like. that'd be hella interesting when vic comes around
#tommy's foolery#tommy's stickmen tag#i don't know why. but i feel like vic would get like. extra unethical upon discovering this. maybe trying to take those powers for themself#because alan sure as hell doesn't deserve them. right? all they know is he'd probably use them to torment others#(meanwhile like. jump cut to the others asking alan to spin them because they're curious what it'd be like)#(yes they do immediately get sick. yes he tried to warm him. no they did not listen.)#tommy's stick!alan#chosen is slightly concerned about it but then finds out about those shenanigans and is like. 'ok yeah it'll be fine'#i know chosen probably already knew after 4 years with c!alan that he's just a nervous wreck#but honestly i would not be surprised if he frequently ends up blowing their expectations out of the water on how much of a wreck he is#tommy's aus
