#i'm REELING this is so much

[artsekey]

Went to apply for a job, midway through I learned that the person hiring is someone I respect very, very much in my field (who I have never spoken to), then saw the application site was closed (How Did I Miss the Deadline for this Really Cool Job!!!!) and then saw that it was the website's fault and that they were taking applications through LinkedIn DM's. So I did the premium trial & sent my reel in, and they told me they're sending it to recruitment/leads and that it's a good reel!!!! And then the person I have respected for years sent me a friend request!

I'm beside myself!!

i am so obsessed with how like. taken as read the ot3 are at this point. like on the one hand it feels like they've been building up to this for ages but on the other hand it kind of feels like i blinked and we skipped right past some Major Turning Point where everything got spelled out and we're just already in firmly Established Relationship-land. obviously tarvek is too well-protected for anyone to assassinate openly, look how angry his boyfriend and girlfriend are at the idea of anyone threatening him. at this point i'm half-convinced agatha's just going to refer to her boyfriends in passing to someone else and no one's even going to comment on it until van finds out twenty pages later and immediately starts making everyone pay up

hi friends, if anyone happens to be reading this, i'm just letting you know that my blog has been intentionally wiped - something i've been contemplating doing for awhile now. to be blunt, i have been overwhelmingly suicidal for a good 6 months, so considering i log off feeling worse than when i logged on more often than not, i've decided to remove myself from social media for a long while. i need to figure out how to survive the sudden downturn in my health while doing postgrad and working full time (i collapsed out of nowhere and haven't been able to walk since before christmas, i am covered head to toe in hives 24/7 which are extremely painful and won't respond to any treatment - that’s just the tip of the iceberg, but I can’t just stop working and take care of myself like i need to) sending love ❤️

These FFS inner demons are very “disco elysium skills” reminiscent. I NEED to meet that cast! Also freaking awesome work to you and your buddy :]

May it be an open secret that one of my inspirations was Disco Elysium. I think they could party together.

Damn I’m so sorry, I literally can’t stop watching this scene! I so was not expecting Buck to be so forward, but I’m totally here for it! Also, the fact that Tommy totally wasn’t expecting to get a kiss like that! The way he hummed into the very unexpected, yet welcomed kiss still has me reeling!

When Buck answered Tommy saying “Sorry I’m late, that fire was a beast” with “so are you” while staring directly at his lips… I’m absolutely not exaggerating when I say I screamed and kicked my feet!

So much passion, like they just spent all day trying to find Chimney, and he just watched his sister get married in the hospital, so he probably figured ‘why wait any longer’!

Evan “sparkling eyes” Buckley he just can’t contain it when he sees Tommy! His eyes show everything! This eye sparkle is just so cute to me, I’ll point it out any chance I get, I love it so dang much!

Then there’s this gif, their smiles are everything to me, also, AGAIN with the eye sparkle! Like all I need is for them to be happy! And Buck looks like a happy puppy and that deep breath he took because they’re definitely reeling from that passionate kiss!

Buck’s face almost gives off that he’s proud too, happy and proud! Proud of himself for initiating he and Tommy’s kiss, proud and unafraid to share this new part of himself. He can stand there in front of everyone he cares about most in his life (and his parents), and not give a damn that his face is all dirty because he and Tommy just kissed like their lives depended on it! He’s just so happy and Tommy’s happy and Maddie and Chimney are MARRIED!

I love all these characters so dang much! There are no words, just squeaky sounds, giggling, kicking, and screaming!

I have the power to do so much in these controllers.

So if I'm gonna be able to move freely as my favorite characters, you can bet your bippy I will do just that. Like, body acting is really so fun, it makes the avatar feel much more alive-- especially if they lack facial expressions (that's also why I keep Geo's visor obscured).

just started book 3 of my ATLA rewatch and, all goofs aside, I do think it's a massive shame how many genuinely interesting ideas are in here which never get to shine because the headwriters are fundamentally uncomfortable with the themes they inserted into their own story.

they want to write a story introducing kids to the concept of war, but all of their main characters are inexplicably insanely competent and powerful, so we only get a handful of scenes depicting the war with any amount of realism. these scenes usually involve very minor one-off characters, and while evocative to adult viewers to an extent, they are likely to go over kids' heads because they're not grounded in the central narrative.

the writers are eager to borrow concepts from various asian mythologies and schools of thought, but they cherry-pick the parts they think are "cool" or "deep", while ignoring or shouting down ideas that don't neatly line up with what they themselves are already able to relate to (see the whole "opening the chakras"/"letting go of katara" plotline).

they want to portray strong, independent female characters standing up to sexism, but every female character must still on some level aspire to be someone's wife (and the dark-skinned girls are depicted as already fitting the mold perfectly; it seems to be the price they pay to be allowed in the story at all. the writers attempted to branch out a little in the sequel series with korra, but immediately felt so uncomfortable they felt the need to put the character through an insanely traumatic plotline as punishment for creative choices they made!).

there are many more of these, but you get the pattern. it's what happens when creatives like the idea of doing something meaningful, but ultimately can't bring themselves to leave their own comfort zones.

I'd honestly be interested in reading fanfiction of ATLA by writers who have a better understanding of the themes it's trying to depict, because there are a lot of interesting pieces on the board and I would love to see them moved around by players who aren't fucking stupid and actually know what the hell they're talking about
