I am literally in eternal mourning

Fromsoft what in the absolute FUCK were you thinking????

[florida3exclamationpoints]

Oh nooooooo my beloveds are back at it again

[nartml]

I'd add another billion reasons why this movie was a massive disappointment, but I'm honestly still too frustrated to write it all down.

I’m going to say it.

I don’t think How to Train Your Dragon 3 was good.

Not when you compare it to literally either of the other movies. Certainly not as a conclusion.

I mean, the first movie was about a boy who manages to understand a hostile dragon species and bring peace to two warring factions, which is a parallel for his relationship with his father. The second film was about how sometimes, peace has to be fought for, and Hiccup’s whole identity was in contrast with that—because while his mother ran from conflict and his father leapt at it too eagerly, he had always been the one to stop the fighting. Then he has to learn that the things we love are worth protecting. 

And after he learns that humans and dragons can learn to understand each other and coexist—after he learns that it isn’t enough to run and hide or fight out of fear, but instead you must protect the things you care about—

After those two natural, powerful progressions are clearly worked for in the first two movies—

How to Train Your Dragon 3 comes along and says “‘No actually, sometimes all it takes is one madman whom you defeated with no loss of life to convince you that the things you care about should just crawl into a very pretty hiding hole, because you don’t feel like spending the rest of your life fighting for them.”

And I can say more. Below the break.

“Bamboo is antifungal”

Because it’s rayon

“Eucalyptus fabric is cooling!”

Yeah, because it’s rayon

“We make clothing called seacell out of seaweed!”

Yeah I looked on your website it’s made by the lyocell process, which means-

-wait for it-

It’s fucking rayon!!

Listen. There is a list of actual plant fibers that are directly made into fabric: cotton, linen, ramie, some hemp. I’m sure I’m missing a couple.

But if you’re wondering “huh how did they turn that plant material into fabric,” 99% of the time? It’s RAYON.

All rayon is made by putting plant material in chemical soup, dissolving out everything but the cellulose, and turning the cellulose into filaments/fibers.

The source of the cellulose has zero effect on the eventual fabric.

Rayon made from bamboo or eucalyptus or seaweed is not any better than rayon from any other sources.

Don’t let companies mislead you!

i will never understand how people have the heart to hate Jason even after they found out that his Ambrosia tastes like fucking sawdust. Ambrosia being tasty is like one single happy thing a demigod can have despite their tragic lives, because it reminds them of the home they once had, but lost. And Jason doesn't even have that, he doesn't even have a home to lose in the first place.

i could write an entire thesis abt this but its 3am and i have work in the morning so you'll have to deal with just this snippet of a twitter thread i just wrote.

[starburstminibot]

Was supposed to be a quick sketch and then I got obsessive over the details :[

Penelope is also Athena's pet/blorbo/special little mortal/etc. and if you think otherwise you're straight up wrong.

You're also wrong if you think Athena only likes Penelope because of Odysseus and/or Telemachus. As if Athena didn't see a young Penelope pull some shit and immediately think "Oh! Another mind to mold! C'mere you! Let's do some riddles and weaving!". Athena was happy that two of her favorite pets have met and fell in love!

According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.

Going back to Godwyn for a bit; I have seen so many people say that Godwyn coming back would have made even less sense than Promised Retcon because with all the evidence he is like dead "dead" and

okay, sure, yeah, fine, whatever 🤷

but yknow what its fucking fiction so anything can happen including reviving the dead dead man 😡

And I can somewhat see the angle of that, but you see, the biggest elephant in the room problem is that:

THE DLC DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OF MIQUELLAS EFFORTS TO REVIVE HIM

If the DLC truly wished to go this route and acknowledge that Godwyn is dead "dead" then they should have also acknowledged Miquellas struggle and failure at trying to revive Godwyn and how/why it went wrong, because base game Miquella did everything in his goddamn eternal child cursed power to revive Godwyn.

But all we get in the DLC regarding Godwyn is basically a buffed up Medallion, saying that it was awarded to Godwyns Knights for their campaign in the RoS, and the Death Knight armor in which they are waiting for Godwyns corpse to impregnate a random lady so a new "life in death" Age can happen, and like

cool

cool

so very cool 😬

This is so incredibly insulting to both Godwyn, Miquella, Malenia, I don't even know where to start.

But starting with Godwyn, am I seriously the only person who is upset/pissed that we literally get to learn nothing about who Godwyn was personally in the DLC, when, back when we were all waiting for the DLC; mostly everyone was theorizing/hypothesizing about Godwyns role and importance because literally all of Miquellas overarching "plan" in the base game involved Godwyn?????

And now we get nothing??????

Godwyn, in the base game and in the absolute travesty of a DLC, is the most underdeveloped Demigod despite his death being the catalyst for The Shattering. Queen Marika's spirit literally broke from Godwyns death and thus plunged the world into a never ending war. She loved him dearly. And we get absolutely zero acknowledgment of that.

And then god. Miquella and Malenia. Miquella loved Godwyn. He loved him so so much. From Golden Epitaph, forged to commemorate his death and imbued with a humble prayer for his salvation, and the Wandering Mausoleums who house the Soulless Demigods, tied into the Eclipse and the effort put into Godwyns revival, and then finally the statue at the Haligtree of the twins embracing their beloved big brother... Miquella was not the only one who loved Godwyn, as Malenia is the one embracing him fully in the statue. She loved him. She loved him so much. Which is why she too had an emotional stake in ensuring that Miquella's Eclipse came to be and revived Godwyn from his cursed Undeath.

And yet the DLC does not acknowledge Miquella the Unalloyed's or Malenia the Severed's love for their older brother Godwyn the Golden

And instead tosses Godwyn into the garbage and forces Miquella to be a fucking Radahn simp

And for that I will die mad

i genuinely don't care how good a piece of ai generated art or writing looks on the surface. i don't care if it emulates brush strokes and metaphor in a way indistinguishable from those created by a person.

it is not the product of thoughtful creation. it offers no insights into the creator's life or viewpoint. it has no connection to a moment in time or a place or an attitude. it has no perspective. it has no value.

it's empty, it's hollow, and it exists only to generate clicks (and by extension, ad revenue.)

it's just another revolting symptom of the disease that is late stage capitalism, and it fucking sucks.

Freeing myself from the shackles of an organized comic format to get this idea out of my head!! Also, just follow the numbers if the layout is too confusing otherwise, but basically I want Spectra to be Jazz's Nemesis so bad. It just makes sense.

SO: the hypothetical episode's showdown would be them battling, and no Danny, he's already got beef with a packers obsessed billionaire. Now, Spectra's got the high ground with overwhelming power, but she's sloppier and easily irritated because of it! Jazz then outsmarts her, getting her angry enough to make enough mistakes to be corned and canned by the thermos.

Also minor spelling error ugh, meant to put "no one could", not "no could".

Re: MEMENTO MORI

a few weeks back i suddenly had a lil kick and remembered I haven't tried making something for Madness Day or really done Madness stuff for a long time even though i still love these violent jellybeans dearly and figured I could redo a concept I did for the last Madness Day i did something for back in 2021.

so naturally i left it until last night to actually do most of the drawing. Jeb, Hank and Tricky have all died a stupid amount of times.
