Did you think I was done? Ahahahaha no, I have more.
Because chapter 70 of MOMU gave me the very dynamic between them that I missed so much, I just blacked out and started drawing uncontrollably lmao
Also. ALSO. I noticed a while ago that Prowl has the habit of..like…constantly frowning. So. I did a bit of research and made this graph.
In 70 chapters, Prowl frowns rougly 104 times. And the intensity of this gesture is very clearly correlated with the development of his relationship with Jazz, as you can see ahahahahah It might be wrong tho don’t take me seriously I’m not good with graphs
#maccadam#transformers#prowl#jazz#jazzprowl#fic fanart#momu fanart#I just#mmmmm#For the whole fic Prowl had to think twice about everything Jazz says#every information could end up being wrong#sometimes even without Jazz realising it#so when Prowl says#he’s trusting Jazz. it’s.#also it totally wasn’t me googling ‘believing and trusting nuance difference in english’#the moment I realised the difference I think my brain started rollercoaster loops#he can’t believe him but he found enough faith to trust him#while. YES. For the whole story Jazz couldn’t fucking be believed#list e n#Jazz did a lot of things for Prowl#fucktons of big and small gestures to show that yes he likes loves and appreciates Prowl#I’m so happy Prowl is returning this energy#like#remember that scene a while back when Jazz kissed Prowl? Cool cool okay. Did Prowl kiss him? nope. It was one sided gestures#*gesture. That kiss didn’t make me feel like it’s truly something precious because Jazz started it but Prowl didn’t do quite the same#but this👆. This feels so much more important for me. Because Prowl#who is for the whole story was mister I calculate every chance of possible betrayal. Prowl whos entire personality is to trust nobody#Prowl goes. Fuck that I trust you. You feel me?#it wouldn’t be the same if he said I love you. Because love is very much something you don’t have a lot of control over.#but to trust someone? It’s a choice Prowl had to consciously make. You see what I mean? I love it. oh fuck I ran out of tags..

the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.
(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)
is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.
(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)
on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.
#eliot#eliot spencer#orig#further discussion in further tags#I'm being perhaps a little critical and there are other ways to read eg the fragile masculinity moments#but I Do think they were intended this way and largely come across this way#I'm quite happy playing with a fanon eliot who's better at this shit is the thing? it feels faithful enough to the original.#but this is something I'm chewing over in a rewatch and it's interesting so far#the fact that he pretty consistently respects women doesn't stop him from treating men and women differently y'know?#the fact that his bantering with hardison expresses affection and gets quite soft over time#doesn't stop him from pushing hardison away on a semi-regular basis. often physically.#the fact that the fandom unanimously decided he's an utter gentleman in matters of dating#doesn't quite negate the time he physically stopped aimee from getting away when he wanted to talk to her#though that's one I might disregard because it's so early and I think they hadn't quite figured out the characters then#and it was admittedly a brief moment followed by very consensual happenings#perhaps. honestly. eliot may be reflecting the attitudes of the show here.#which were very progressive for the time and are still startling on several fronts now but also showing definite signs of age#arguably fanon eliot (as I understand him) is eliot adjusted for inflation. as it were.#there's a lot going on here I'm having a normal amount of thoughts about it I'm. stopping now

On the Jason as Uncle Ben variant—you’re response, you can’t do this to me! It’s making me more insane! After the Grey Ghost bit in LoF I thought of a crackpot theory of Uncle Ben being Bruce. And I was like no, Peter would recognize him(but the time is shifted and would he recognize that version?; probably, whatever). But his ages could line up(but what about the name change that’s inconsistent; handwave that). And your answer is throwing fuel on that fire I want to suppress
teehee :3 i might maybe have a plan and a reason for that... there are some variants that are not the *exact* same as the other. (Biggie and Benny, for example...) they don't look the exact same and they don't have the same stories, but fundamentally they are the same person. i played around with the multiverse. Even Peter looks different from a lot of Peter Parker variants. Sort of like how the three Peter Parkers in the one Holland movie are Peter, but all look different. I took some liberties to spice the story up ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭
#some variants DO look the exact same#because nothing had changed about their family line#but other variants are still like. same soul but different body#so that's why peter ha acted the way he has with bruce so far#“I instinctually can tell we're family and i have to mess with you”#but he had no idea#bruce wayne#ben parker#peter parker#there's also going to be a lot more later that shows that ben and bruce aren't all that different#it's just that circumstance prevented their stories from coming together...#circumstance: death#erinwantstowrite#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#ao3#thank you for the ask!

honestly i never really agreed with the popular shen qingqiu had a good shizun headcanon because if shen qingqiu actually had someone who he knew cared about him, he definitely wouldn’t have turned out the way he did in canon.
#the scum villain's self saving system#scum villian self saving system#scumbag self saving system#scumbag villain#scumbag system#scum villain#svsss#mxtx svsss#mxtx novels#shen qingqiu#shen jiu#og shen qingqiu#original shen qingqiu#sqq#original sqq#og sqq#honestly i get why he didn’t tell him but if yqy had told sqq the truth he definitely wouldn’t have become the person he did in canon#it does have good potential for angst because him being named qingqiu would’ve hurt a lot more coming from someone that cared about him#than from someone he had a horrible/distant relationship with#don’t talk to me i’m having og shen qingqiu brainrot#all it would’ve taken was one person to show him love and sqq would’ve been a better person#look sqq is a product of the environment he grew up in#he wouldn’t have become the person he became if he was actually given a chance to be good#also if sqq’s shizun was actually good would sqq actually trust them?#by the time he came to cpm he probably didn’t have any faith in adults thanks to his abusers (i.e. wyz qjl & the slavers)#so it seems unlikely for a relationship to form between him and the previous qjpl beyond polite distance#shen qingqiu’s trauma seriously ruined him#pidw could’ve been a lot different if shen qingqiu hadn’t suffered every time he tried to be good#rzfzx#ren zha fanpai zijiu xitong

recommendations for @mail-me-a-snail & honestly everyone who follows me bc y'all know i give out recommendations like candy. i think especially you may like I think love is something that happens to other people and HOW TO BE A DOG (the latter is similar to Your Faithful Servant).
#zoneposting#poetry#some recommendations#my followers know ive never been normal or calm about poetry ever#oh god i forgot to update you guys that i recently won a 2k grant to establish a 3 year program to teach poetry to kids thru my poetry org#i wanna post some of the poems im gonna use esp since lots are in spanish/by latino authors#reminder to do that#n e ways i have so much more but im showing restraint (rattles the bars of my cage)#how to be a dog is rly similar to your faithful servant in structure and theme and actually i fear im composing a small essay abt it.#ALSO it is absolutely okay if none of these vibe with you--poetry is incredibly subjective & i passed over some of my favs to rec these#sometimes what rewrites one person is just words to another and that is more than alright#but i wanted to try to return the favor bc im adding your faithful servant to my poetry doc bc it honestly hit me spectacularly hard#& im very glad you decided to post it

Me after finishing S1 of Dungeon Meshi: Yeah honestly that was pretty cool. A+ for the chimera Falin thing. All in all this is the kind of thing I can watch whenever an episode drops. The cooking with the hint of insanity/action
Me after reading the Dungeon Meshi manga: First of all, this manga is everything and I'm so glad it got even more "insane" as one might put it. That last arc is chef's kiss. Second of all, I understand why the people said the anime onlies aren't ready for what's coming. They're not.
#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi manga#dungeon meshi anime#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#i just be ramblin#Tagged the spoiler tags just in case#I have a feeling that a lot of the people who got into Dungeon Meshi because it was popular or because it's their 'comfort cooking show in a#dungeon' are going to drop it if S2 comes out and is faithful to the manga

idk i do like hearing peoples perspectives and arguments about transfeminism, but i believe what i believe about it because the arguments for it are effective and the evidence we have supports their conclusions. yea they also help me conceptualize events in my life through a transfeminist lens but that is what theoretical frameworks are For, they begin with the evidence and describe the experience.
i think semantic arguments and talk of empty unity and dismissing through sexualization are just as much tactics of argumentation and to me they're are highly ineffective in doing anything but making the people using them look good to an uninformed observer. its the reason we say a lot that some people here have a "vibes based politics" because it's clear from their arguments and rhetoric that they think of these arguments as a way to display an image rather than to actually have a discussion.
thats why im pissy and get upset and block people, they're just wasting peoples time for their own egos rather engaging with any of these concepts or acknowledging that what they know might not be totalizing. the desperation to have a perfect unsullied and intelligent image is why posts like mine pointing out a subtle dogwhistle will get backlash that amounts to telling me i'm making it up. i am communicating to them that there is a piece of knowledge that they might not have considered or even known is offensive to them so they reach for reactionary defenses instead of treating the trans woman in front of them like a person
#some of them are indeed fully bad faith actors#terfs and shit that are trying to infiltrate discourse and funnel conversions to their ideology#but there are a lot of people#even specifically transfems#who make these arguments because they are simple to make and easy to reach for and diffuse the need to face harsh realities#it's a safe bubble to live in to just inherently trust tme people#i wanna trust them#but just like anyone else who can use their place in societies hierarchies against you#you need to be away of the power they might be able to wield in case you need to defend yourself from it#lives have been Ruined from these discussions#i still see my sisters who were driven out to the street from losing their support networks begging for financial aid#or feeling too guilty to ask given how they want more attention to be going to gaza fundraisers#being aware of the danger is not panicking or thinking a group is ontologically evil#it is just a reality needed for safety as a trans woman#we all learn it sooner or later and everyone posting about transfeminism is trying to make that realization happen sooner#so we don't have to see our sisters suffer more#and see our brothers and siblings hurt themselves and each other to fit an ideology that is using them#the idea that these issues are brought up from personal grievance and not actual emotional care for others is just false#we aren't trying to call everything transmisogyny we are trying to show you that you are surrounded by it and can learn to fight against it#and it's scary and sad to see people reject it so much that they endanger themselves#ugh i'm rambling too much#i hope this doesn't bite me in the ass that i left all this in the tags

don't ask me why, but me and my friend were talking about how carlos is going to be free from fraudrrari in less than 20 days and we ended up comparing him to the virgin mary (i swear it will make sense and we both grew up in christian italian families as atheists) and... how her given festivities actually add up with some of his important dates ??? buckle up!
‧˚
⭒ "Festa dell'Assunzione di Maria" — august 15 she was raised to eternal life without bodily death, and very close to it carlos announced he signed with williams.
⭒ "La Natività della Beata Vergine Maria" — she was born on september 8th, he was born on september 1st (BOTH VIRGOS)!
⭒ "L'Immacolata Concezione" — december 8th, "from the first moment of her conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary was, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind, kept free from all stain of original sin."... and what happens on december 8th? his last race in fraudrrari, exactly.
she was the lightly brushed by melancholy blue print after all!
#il vaticano hates to see us drop this hits ngl#i show my hatred for this religion by blasphemingly ruining their iconographies with these posts😋#you thought you saw everything with carlos being san sebastiano NOW GET READY FOR CARLOS BEING THE VIRGIN MARY!!!!#another hit post if i know my chickens well#no but fr#what were the fucking odds of the dates being actually so similiar???#carlos sainz jr and christian iconography? sign me tf up#virgin mary#frauddrari's worst nightmare bc they're always comparing the other one to the pope and carlos gets compare to LUCIFERO#SAN SEBASTIANO#LA VERGINE MARIA#c'è chi puo' e chi non puo' 😮💨#carlos is just so mystical and lovable you can't help but compare him and worship him like a god#(he's just a man and im a 23yr old teenager with mental issues and a lot of time to think)#this being said#he also gave birth a lot this year#and he's finally about to be free of sin🥴#is this considered web weaving?#leave it to him to be so poetic in just living that my brain automatically does this#lando being god's lamb and him the virgin mary GET A BETTER DUO#maybe its because maria was always a figure that stuck with me more than anyone in the bible and her sufferings and her not having really#much of a choice in her life and having to accept her faith... idk#but this makes sense in my head#carlos sainz jr web weaving#carlos sainz jr#carlitos#cs55#f1#formula 1#carlando

tim's dismissive quote about henchim tension following those very convoluted storylines buck tommy & eddie all got last night... i dont know. i wasnt feeling great about this season after 8x04 wrapped things up shoddily and now im just. really not optimistic about the show right now
#8x05 was such a great experience that my hopes returned but this has... renewed my dissatisfaction with tim's showrunning. i dont have a lot#of faith. which kills me because i love this show. but there's been so much fumbling--even for 911 standards--that i dont trust this season

i don’t think it is humanly possible for the Robby-Johnny relationship to be as good as the writers want me to believe it currently is going, but i also don’t think it’s going half as bad as people on here or on reddit say it is, so it is incredibly challenging for me to find posts I agree with about them anywhere
#robby keene#johnny lawrence#cobra kai#like sorry it just wasn’t hard for me to buy that johnny was being more supportive of Robby than Miguel at the tournament#we saw him more upset when he lost Robby than Miguel in the scene where johnny loses the locker room#we hear him yelling it’s okay robby multiple times when Robby flops#in the first fight and the platform fight#them hugging when Robby beats kwon#him defending Robby to Miguel on the plane him going specifically after Robby in the brawl#them living together a lot of the time now#them having a good summer together#johnny clearly still putting in the work despite being given a clean slate w a new baby#like i find it very believable that he gave Robby a pep talk or two lol#it would be nice to see it and i wish we did but it’s just not a stretch to me#it makes perfect sense that Robby doesn’t improve til someone on the actual team backs him as a leader#the break for me is i don’t believe that Robby isn’t still mad or slightly mean to his dad anymore#like he needs to be shitty to johnny onscreen one more time and johnny needs to take it#and then I could buy that they are getting to the point the show wants us to think they’re getting to#I also don’t think they’ll ever have a perfect relationship#and I do completely get why people don’t have good faith built up in their relationship or in Johnny#but it gets to a point sometimes where it feels like people twist the show to make Robby’s life harder or sadder than it already is#his life has already been hard he already has enough depth and making him the perfect victim in the whole show makes him boring btw#I’d also love to read a single post about Robby-Miguel or Robby-Carmen that isn’t blatantly racist#but those posts haven’t been invented yet#it’s awesome to imagine reading one one day though

tbh I think the reason I don’t care about iwtv the show being inaccurate is because I’ve been in fandom since at least age nine. Like I don’t care about accuracy, I want to see what you bring new to the table when it comes to this piece of art. And show iwtv gave me a lot, making both it and the book be refreshing in their own ways, having two different ways to tell a story about grief.
like I just view iwtv the show and iwtv the book like I view Greek mythology adaptations. Do you shame kaos for not being like hadestown and shame hadestown for not being like the original truly faithfully retold tales? It’s silly to me
#rambles#Iwtv#interview with the vampire#fandom#This isn’t a post bashing people who wanted a faithful retelling. I think that’s a completely fine thing to want#however I feel like automatically disregarding the show’s writing quality from it not being faithful is kinda sad. Not every change was mad#with the smug intention of trying to make a better version of what Anne rice wrote tbh#It just makes me lowkey quite sad. Both are insanely fun and have a lot to chew on

do you think annabeth gave percy the side of the oreo with more or less creme when they were in the zoo transport?
#some people prefer the side with less right? but she wouldn't know at that point whether percy did#would she had given him whatever side she enjoyed more as a silent show of good faith and appreciation?#or would she have realized from his eating habits at that point which he would appreciate more and went with that#regardless of her own personal preference?#orrr would she have been twelve and taken the side she preferred. giving him the worse side?#or would she have taken her preferred side bc she knew by then that he really wouldn't care?#i think about this a lot#percabeth#annabeth chase#percy jackson#pjo

I think maybe everyone should cool it with the “weird cult” comments regarding the covert, honestly. It wasn’t that funny to begin with but now that it’s the popular describer it’s starting to become a little uncomfy. No one is forced to join, no one is forced to stay. There’s a ton of parallels between them and real world cultures and religions and I just think MAYBE we need to be a little more aware of what message we’re sending when we say “haha that group of people who are in hiding because their lives were/are at stake and who practice anonymity to survive and follow certain rules that I don’t personally understand or like are a weird cult”.
#maybe we should lay off that word#I’m not the first person to say this obviously but now it’s starting to make me a little 😬#really wish this season had done what it should have and explored Din’s relationship with his faith#then maybe we’d learn more about the covert and Mandalorian culture and people wouldn’t feel the need to use this kind of language#they’re not a cult they’re just a group of people trying to survive in a universe that would prefer they did not#and that hits home for a lot of real people watching#anyway there’s that#the mandalorian#everyone a Din stan til we talk about how his faith is still a huge part of his character and his life#although the show really really needs to address how all of the events so far have changed his mindset#personally I don’t think he wants to leave his creed behind#but I think he would benefit from reevaluating what it means to him Now as opposed to when he took it as a child#the fact of the matter is: the covert and the creed are Important to Din on a fundamental level#would he enjoy you running around calling his family a cult? probs not#mine

Someone on twitter said it best: The title should actually be "How NOT to show support for SA victims that don't fit your desired demographic."
"His character is reinforcing negative gay stereotypes" and it's a hypersexual gay man who died in the 30s struggling with addiction and drug abuse to get through his life of exploitation, repression, trafficking and ipv doused with fake glitter and glam so no one can see beneath the cracked surface of his tortured soul.
"I don't think I've ever come across a character so poorly represented yet so greatly praised by the general audience" Because Angel isn't "representation", but an actual character with his own unique struggles and issues and responses that thousands of people (inclusing myself) can deeply relate to and if not "relate" then sympathise with. He isn't "SA rep". He isn't "Gay rep". He's Angel Dust. He's a person, and a broken one at that. If you don't relate to him the way so, so many others do, then maybe it's not for you. I already hate you 💀
#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel angel dust#angel dust we don't fucking deserve you#i'm like 2 minutes in and i can already tell the direction this is going to go#what the fuck do you mean “he's one of the only gay characters in the show” and you're talking about HAZBIN HOTEL#the show where everyone except ONE CHARACTER is queer???#that was the third or fourth red flag to be raised in the beginning immediately followed by that second point#the weirdly homophobic undertones and clear lack of literacy people like this give off without realising is always so insane to me#normally i just ignore videos like this because it's obvious it's either in bad faith or just demonstrate very puritan views#but this topic does get me a lot cuz it shows just how people see marginalized people as monoliths and if they're unique they're “bad”#especially when the character was written by OTHER SA SURVIVORS WHAT THE HECK like who are you to discredit them#cuz they don't fit in the box of what you consider “good”?? queer characters don't always have to “represent” others. let them be people#i'm not finishing it today cuz i know i'll be so annoyed by this based on the comment section and title and points made already#but i'm very compelled to write a counter to this video and i have too much homework stacked to get sidetracked by this#another time. definitely another time#momento rambles
