my only gripe with tsh fans is the lack of care given to that richard (someone who is Not Religious) by then end of the narrative Wants to be anointed, wants to be purified by going to church, and the (lapsed) catholics of the cast have to keep him back. something something adult convert something something julian asking if bunny is converting to catholicism something something the prima porta augustus is at the vatican...
#im not the most Gifted#in terms of actual bible searching or in deaph doctrine#i know stories and ive read but idk#forgive me but the secret history is about a man's Struggle with Cultural Catholicism in A Secular World TM#and i think that aspects is very important to the thematic and narrative keys to the story#even silly moments like henry randomly being into thomas aquinas#i think its the white underbelly of the story and i hate that nobody else!!!!!! seems to see it!!!!! that way!!!!!!!!

when heterosexuals do literary analysis of works in which queerness and the persecution thereof are major themes which they just completely skip over or call 'confusing relationships'
#spitblaze says things#genuinely i do not know how you could possibly read the short story What Happened at Cambridge IV and not catch these things#the story's narrator is drinking himself to death after indirectly killing the man he loved but did not love him back#he makes a very pointed statement about 'they're so scared of AIDS but we'll give them something to *really* be scared about'#theres an entire diatribe at the start that implies he sent the letter to the recipient in the first place bc they're probably queer too#He is encouraging the reader to send a deadly cognitohazard to conservative MPs saying that he's done so already#like idk how many times this dude can talk about how he's jealous of the girl in the lab his love interest likes#and how he's being careful not to stare or admire too hard and willing to go to extreme lengths just to see this guy get more funding#the story ends with him hoping he'll be able to 'finally touch your hand' after he dies#THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A GAY MAN LIVING A DOUBLY HIDDEN LIFE IN BRITAIN IN THE 90S HOPING THAT BY UTILIZING THE FRUITS OF HIS LOVE'S LABOR#THAT OTHERS LIKE HIM COULD POSSIBLY BE SET FREE JESUS H CHRIST#god. anyway#the BLIT series is good and Heterosexual Denseness is frustrating

ok sorry i didn’t go insane over emesis blue like i thought I would but it is making me scared irl now. i can’t turn over in bed bc what if there’s a severed head positioned like it’s peaking around the doorframe. what if i look over and The Butcher is there
#genuinely that scene was the scariest part of the whole movie to me. a weird guy appear (your mom is also dead)#anyway i have a question. is the butcher a timeloop iteration of spy. like how the plague doctor is thought to be a future timeloop medic#my only thinking is The Butcher Looks Pretty Badly Burned Under That Mask. Spy Got Pretty Badly Burned Adn Started Wearing A Mask#but like the butcher is pretty clearly pyro’s model#and like why would spy timeloop torture his past self#also i think it was implied that the butcher and medic(unknowingly) orchestrated scouts kidnapping#and spy and medic kinda. didn’t get along HDBSHBEHDHSB#idk ive watched the movie twice now#emesis blue#ask to tag#words from the monarch#also is it accurate to call it a time loop. idk what else to call it. but like what was happening to soldier like the convo with demoman a#and throwing the crowbar/getting hit with the crowbar would be timeloop shit right.#there are timeloop ELEMENTS but im not saying the whole story is a timeloop. yknow#also this movie is kinda funny to read stuff about out of context when you already deeply know tf2. they sure put these guys in A Situation

so has anyone figured out WHY there is the Need To Share our Artworks™ or is it just the vibes and our Soul apparently
#ive been running on “two cakes. u aren't BOTHERING people by putting art on their feed they can scroll past it/if they dont they get ”cake“”#and we love “cake”#“cake” is picture on the internet in this case#like okay the contracts and transaction format is a me problem!! i need to get rid of the “utilitarian brain worms” bc they're boring#this is supposed to be a hobby and the “get a good grade in hobby” wolf in the brain is just crying bc that's how they understand the world#the “get a good grade in x” wolf has valid pain but needs to stop controlling my life because they don't need to earn “enough value to live”#ect ect ect#and the life of minmaxxed utility is a life of trying to appeal to a “correct” that doesn't exist yaddi yadda = boring#i love you wolf. also shut up. affectionate. concerned. you get it#ok so we remove tangible purpose from act of experience art because THAT'S not “the point”#because “the point” is the joy killer eccetera ecc#but then what? “here check out this labor of love. i drew this fucker 15 times. no there's no story* there it's just a guy”#*story in this case being an emotional engagement/a situation/a context in which to ponder/other#so it's just a Draw. no further analysis. what do others Get from that?#i know i deeply enjoy art because im a fan of the process of People Making Stuff. i love when there was nothing but now there's something!!!#THAT'S what's it all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to me!!!! right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#so it stands to reason that creation is purpose enough?? to be experienced???? to be known????????#idk!!#this is a nothing burger of a thought people have always liked picture on the internet stfu maiora there doesn't need to be a reason#this is just the brainworms talking!!! because god forbid “something not have a purpose”??? blegh!!!!!!!!#sounds like unhealthy rationalizing instead of letting things be out of The Fear™!!sounds like depraving urself from joy bc of BRAINWORMS!!!#so like!!!!! picture on the internet doesn't NEED inherent value. creation is enough!! (plus there's the Attachment to Character. also.)#but then why are YOU *points at you* here? gen q!!#i made an image you like and now you are reading my word babble in some tags!!! what's THAT all about???????????#it's INTERESTING!! do you see what im trying to get at??#is it empathy??? person made something other saw something other made- other2other connection???? intrigue????????#.......all this is probably explained in some book or yt essay somewhere. oh well.#in the meantime thank you for your time! we can pretend we were stuck in an elevator together and then i started rambling#i hope you have a great rest of your day thanks for stopping by!! <3#maiora garrulates

also i realize i'm saying all these noble and beautiful things about the channel from the purest depths of my heart. but actually i'm also just doing this because i fucking love the witcher books and it pisses me off that people don't know about them that much in english and i can only go for so long (seven years) with people not knowing that there are books. or that the witcher is from the 90s. or polish.
#'whatt i didnt know the witcher was polish. wait where is poland' funky music stops.#like statements that just crush your soul?? my god netflix did a number on the witcher's perception#'so is it based on the video game? the book? there is a book?'#'waaait the second season wasn't accurate to the books? wdym...?'#>knowing the witcher >knowing henry cavill >not knowing who andrzej sapkowski is#when the literal writing is like inseparable from polish and that's why the translation is so hard#when the literal story is like chock full of allegories and references to real life polish history#and it only exists because of a very interesting time in contemporary polish history#like i'm not mad at the PEOPLE who don't know about the witcher i'm mad about how it's been TREATED#with witcher 3's fame at least people who knew the game generally knew a little more maybe#with netflix it's like no one knew anything about the actual witcher and it was really really sad#i do blame the artistic direction but i also blame the marketing and the writing and everything to do with everything#because how are they supposed to know if no one told them. if witcher here has been so separated from what it actually is and is about#like why not just leave witcher alone and get into any other fantasy. there is so much other fantasy out there. witcher is just one of them#yes and that is the plan in 10 years time but#it's not just about reading for personal enjoyment but for what witcher deserves in the english language space now#the witcher series is about suffering but idk if its characters or IT ITSELF has suffered more#zoltan chivay voice 'there IS something like reciprocity after all'#witcher helped me so now i want to help it. i will not abandon you in your time of need !#maybe people know more about the witcher than i think and i've just been incredibly unlucky in my experiences but#people thinking there is only netflix and the third game maybe would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking sad#IV

transfem narilamb yuri is so important actually
#.txt#man. narinder's story in general exudes a queerness to me in a way thats hard to explain#like being rejected by your family for your new ideas and then being punished by them for eternity#and youre held in chains in a domain that is stagnant and unchanging. the very one you wanted to change to be fluid#ostracized and disowned by your family. your image skewed into being the villain for defending yourself and getting angry at their rejectio#your ideas being considered unnatural#like i know theres not a canon past for narinder and the bishops. their conflict couldve gone many ways#for all we know narinder was the instigator and was just power hungry idfk#but.#idk ive always read his story to be one of tragedy and anger due to the rejection from his family#and thats very queer to me#also resurrection/rebirth as a metaphor for transness yeehaw#anyway narilamb yuri is trans to me. transfem nari and nb lesbian lamb areso good i need to draw them#transmasc nari is also a vibe i fuck with too tho B)#hes trans in all ways your honor#he deserves it#as a treat#cotl#cult of the lamb#narilamb#cotl narinder#cotl lamb

Based off ch. 19
#anyway guess who read 6 volumes of a manga after seeing the designs for the characters#(if u see this...thanks jayplagg)#but seriously i was curious because the artstyle was shonen without being shonen#idk how to explain it but the fanservice stuff doesnt seem to permeate the main story as much as it does the authors end credits?#so far at least? and i can respect that#also theres just a boldness to the lines that also reminds me of manhwa#but i know nothing of artstyles and unfortunately comics of any sort tend to blur after ive binged them too long#fandom spamdom#note's notes#tokyo aliens#anyway yeah that meme is all i could think about after seeing ch 19 after the whole 'you are a weapon sho muahahahahaha'#anyway guys its REALLY good#the artstyle the action the plot the subtle themes the CHARACTERS#the characters are done really well#curious about what wouldve happened if the author had been allowed to draw her supernatural slice of life tho#i will be keeping an eye out on this story seriously its so good#though the current arc wrecked me...guess i gotta go hunt up where vol 7 and 8 translations are....

Is it fucked up to have favorite historical deaths? Anyways. Frederick III, Habsburg, was simultaneously the most lucky and unlucky guy at the same time. It's so impressive, honestly, that he made it to age 77(!!!) in the 1400s, like?? But the way he died kills me 😭
The fact that he survived an amputation in the 1400s at age 77 is so shocking honestly???? Yet guess how he died. A couple months later....from eating a fucking unripe melon. BRO YOU SURVIVED GUARANTEED DEATH, HOW ARE YOU GONNA LET A MELON TAKE YOU OUT!?!?
#charles vi continued the legacy centuries later by dying by mushroom 😭😭#tbf who knows how accurate any of this is#but the idea that this old ass dude survived his LEG GETTING CHOPPED OFF#in a time where leg chopping off basically meant death#yet he gets taken out by a melon????#its fitting for him 😭#i need to find the other post i wrote about him#i was kinda sad cause the habsburg book ive been reading lately#kinda undersold how crazy his story is#he is the habsburg w the longest rule as emperor#but like. its literally bcs every challenger just. died.#and his son who had a much shorter rule is way cooler and impressive#but Frederick III makes me laugh cause his sheer luck and lack of luck#idk any habsburg seems to always be hanging by a mere thread at all times imo#melon.....i think about this too much#guys should i just recap the entire history to you atp 😭😭#catie.rambling.txt

Ok game time which 3 series would you just DIE to get a run on ? I'm talking full creative control, can be as a writer or an artist + plotter if that suits your vibe best
My 3 are
Suicide Squad
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern Corps/Green Lanterns
(in that order)
#last one may wiggle around but i think thats mostly it. others i would want to do but if were talking full runs then this would be my picks#there are other things id ofc want to do though. a wonder girl (cassie) mini in addition to the ww run probably some superman stuff too#although idk him as well i do love him. maybe a mini there or even a prestige format book if i go crazy#would love to do a quick something with cass cain too ofc (me and the rest of this site lol). could probably figure out a plot to smth#longer if i thought abt it but would love to guest write a standalone issue or two for an ongoing of hers#what else would i want to do.... the sui sq and wondy are rlly the big ones bc ive thought abt that the most. glc ive thought about too but#to a bit less of an extent. ooh there was that bleez mini i plotted out during lunch once last year. think i had some sketches laying around#for that too.#who else would i do.... those are rlly the main ones atm. books i would write vs books i would read are definitely different though. there#are some pitches i would throw out but wouldnt know how to write at all i just know it could be done good somehow. like ik nothing abt#aquaman but i think its possible a wonder woman/aquaman story could slap#OR NO A WONDER WOMAN & SUPERMAN ONE I WAS JUST TALKING ABT THAT. dont call it that though ofc they should get a duo name in the same vein as#world's finest. and ofc 72848274 issues of bro time. anyways <33333333#also a not abt the rankings sui sq is higher than wondy which may seem crazy from a wondy blogger but 1. i do love them and 2. they need me#so much more. this subject is such an egofest for me bc ofc i think i could do everything perfect but like they need a good run soooooo bad#whereas id LOVE to do wondy but ik they would survive without me. anyways yeah <3#anyways on a totally unrelated not at all adjacent topic.... my askbox is always open btw 😘#also idk if my green lantern corps book would be called glc. may just hit the green lanterns vol. 2 bc who is stopping me really

Speaking of Tyrest. A lot of people forget that he treated Pharma with absolute disdain, not only using him as a test subject for a clearly painful mass murder machine, but talking to Pharma like he saw him as nothing but some henchman to order around that was nothing more than a 'diseased cripple' if Tyrest hadn't come to rescue him.
Like it really is an interesting background dynamic with some curious implications, but when you look at fandom posts from around that issue/the years after, for some reason people just saw "Pharma worked with Tyrest" and concluded Pharma is a card carrying bigot ksjfnskxkd. Like yeah Pharma didn't do anything to stop Tyrest but it seems his main beef with the Autobots was with Ratchet in particular and maybe a general disdain for his ex-comrades. As well as continuing to hate Decepticons which like, not even the "good Autobots" are immune to (even in Pharma's introduction, First Aid says in his journal something like "yeah we all hate Decepticons, but Pharma REALLY hates them"). And despite what fandom likes to construe there's really no evidence in IDW1 that Autobots and Decepticons are different "races" or "types" of Cybertronians, so Pharma hating Decepticons really isn't a bigotry/robot racism thing. And instead probably has something to do with, idk, the 4 million year long galaxy-spanning blood feud war, or maybe being blackmailed and tortured into insanity by the Biggest and Most Decepticon-y of Decepticons.
Tyrest treated Pharma like trash, the other Decepticons working for Tyrest (how come no one ever brings that up btw) also hated him, so if anything it seems that Pharma was more of a rogue element only staying with Tyrest bc he was his best option and probably had no way to even escape.
I'm glad that at least in recent years the fandom has acquired a keen reading eye and good taste to finally recognize Pharma as the (accidentally) complex character he is instead of making him some posh, racist Starscream clone SHSJDGSGDH
#squiggposting#pharma apologism#yeah i'm apologisting again i guess my mental health is somewhat okay again dkdkkxckkddkd#(my followers seeing me post about pharma) nature is healing#there's also that line where pharma says 'maybe i can help' and skids is like#'fuck off and hope we don't beat you to death after this is over'#they didnt know that pharma was a test subject of the killswitch but wow#that's prolly one of the most out of pocket moments of the story that ive never seen anyone mention#honestly that moment is why i think JRO didnt intend pharma to be That Deep#i feel like that sort of 'not even other autobots like him' treatment is something#that comes up a lot in JRO's villain writing. or like asshole behavior towards some characters#is just plot events proceeding as usual. nothing to see just villains getting their due#tho tbh pharma's character in general suffers from the problem that he's so closely related to a main/major characyer#that it wouldve made way more sense for him to be written in earlier#so all his connections w/ ratchet and the plot had to be established retroactively#also speaking of 'asshole behavior excused bc it's towards a villain'#all those times when people are like (fucking amazing piece of medical research by pharma)#'then he started murdering his patients. what a piece of shit'#like idk it could have been intentional but imo all my readings of pharma were not really intended by JRO#and i'm fully just headcanoning and constructing theories on my own#like pharma was simply not important enough or a major enough character to get fleshed ojt#so basically we get enough pieces of him to establish continuity and a general timeline of his life and thats all

i feel very frustrated about the trend of giving chil body hair bc if it was any other anime twink i would be thrilled its just that it seems to only be because people are SO afraid of him looking young they have to make him hairy to justify liking him in ships.
meanwhile it does directly go against canon (he literally is supposed to look like a child. this is integral to both his character and his race's lore as a whole and it makes no damn sense that he would be mistaken for a child if he has body hair i mean. cmon.)
and it's like. some men are hairless. some men look young. when youre a trans man in your 20s-30s its especially common to be mistaken for a teenager, even more so if you're not on t. and short. these traits do not make you less of a man or an adult. :/
#rot posts#listen its like. i just wish ppl werent doing it for the reasons they seem to be#you NEVER see tiny little men get body hair in fanart i should know ive been in multiple fandoms where i was the only 1 givin bitches hair#but it also sucks when its like. clearly from a place of discomfort and not wanting him to seem young#rather than actually loving body hair#for example where is laios with body hair. wheres kabru. mithrun. literally any other character#(senshi us a slight exception on account of semi canonically having hair)#it just feels like a performance for no one. ok yeah good job you made chil look like a hairy 30 year old#did you pay attention to how that totally disregards his story and how he canonically looks like a child and that IS an important aspect#half foots face infantilism to an extreme and his appearance is a part of this. the discrimination he faces is partially BECAUSE of looks!#so changing him to erase such a HUGE important aspect of his race's lore just bc ppl seem uncomfortable with him being young looking feels#idk the feeling. its frustrating to me#i just wish there was some self reflection here. i guess. some actual acknowledgement of his canon struggles#do you even like chil if you cant accept one of his core canonical traits...#whew anyways this is HUGELY a limited edition post bc im deleting it as soon as my husband reads it ❤️#i hate drama i hate discourse so like always if you try to start shit i will ignore + block you soo fast dont try me
