People keep on asking for more Baby Robin and Papadile so here is more Baby Robin and Papadile. Now never ask anything from me ever again
#My art#One Piece#Long post#Sir Crocodile#Nico Robin#Alternatively panel 5 would've been a close up of Crocodile's face from Robin's POV where he looks like he's giving her a death glare#Not intentionally he's just a big scary bastard with a Resting Murder Face and Robin is a small traumatized child#But I wanted to focus on the silliness of the moment so you get the goofy version instead#IDK man there's just something very funny to me about the idea of Robin just randomly info-dumping about a subject she's read about#And Crocodile being like ''?????????????????????? The fuck you talking about??''#Robin leaves the ship's kitchen and Crocodile just stares at the tomato like ''...It's a fruit? Forreal?''#(Meanwhile Robin is sweating bullets like ''I called his favorite vegetable a FRUIT right in his FACE he's going to KILL ME'')#Robin grew extra feet from the bottom of her feet to reach the counter and that actually isn't me trying to explain bad art away#In the original Papadile comic there was a panel of Robin doing the dishes with extra feet to reach the sink but I cut it out#(It was a stress relief comic I did not feel like drawing a complicated background in detail) (BUT YES I THOUGHT OF IT)#Nico Robin Age 11 is *more* than capable of cooking Crocodile just does not trust her with his food. At least not yet#She did start doing the dishes unprompted and continues to do so (mostly out of fear). Croc told her she didn't have to but allows it#IDK a lot of people seem to headcanon Crocodile as incapable of cooking and like. Surely Mr ''I don't trust people'' knows how to cook#Like he doesn't have to be a master chef or anything but and maybe he enjoys not HAVING to cook (pain in the ass with one hand + knife/hook#But surely he can cook decent enough. SURELY#Botanists don't @ me I know the ''tomato is a fruit'' thing isn't fully accurate this is just a silly little haha comic

Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).
Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?
This is fine
#This is not fine#Warning: Long tags ahead (2 topics)#TOPIC 1:#I'm glad Isaac feels safe enough to be reading this book and processing emotions around his friends#That's the positive spin on “he's quietly dealing with a lot while next to his friends and they're not noticing and he's not sharing" right#The contrast of this with the happy friend-bonding montage time feels purposeful and sad (esp. with lyrics about staying in the closet)#but on the bright side this is in the midst of happy friend-bonding montage time so we also see them having happy bonding times together#- showing the friendship is still strong even if right now Isaac isn't wholly known or fully fitting#Hopefully this is leading to Isaac telling his friends what he's going through in S3 and the friendships adapting to fit him better#TOPIC 2:#Also - don't think it's unintentional that where the camera focus shifts to is Nick with his arms around Charlie and then kissing his head#I think we're being purposefully distracted from Isaac with allo 'cuteness'#Because what the other characters often get swept up in - especially as they all couple up in S2 - is alloromantic/allosexual interactions#And that's frequently what the world prioritises or cares more about too#I think the show is intentionally calling everyone - from the characters to us watching them to the whole world - out#So that hopefully we (general) can all be more aware and do better#[In case you were wondering this N&C/Isaac scene is also right after we see short clips of Elle & Tao and Tara & Darcy cuddling -#which also seems very intentional: Isaac - sandwiched in between views of cuddling couples - alone in more ways than one]#CONCLUSION:#I think everything is working together to highlight the contrast between what N&C and Isaac are respectively experiencing in this moment#Did I mention this is not fine?#It is well done though#heartstopper mini moment#isaac henderson#aroace#aromantic asexual#lgbtqia+#queer#taylor swift#seven

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.
If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.
#fitness#gentle reminders#i hate hate hate the idea that fitness must be done Intentionally and in a Hegemonic Way#like... fitness is whatever you make of it and whatever you do#your body isn't going to be like 'well you walked for fove minutes but you didn't do shoulder presses at the gym so it doesn't count 😊'#if you want more specific forms of fitness then SURE you might want to do more specific exercises and activities#but if your goal is overall movement for however much if your body then... you don't Need to be THAT specific#and your goals may be specific for only parts of your body and that's GREAT!#a wheelchair user may for example do more arm exercises so they can use a manual chair for instance...#...and to many people i've noticed they don't think it 'counts' because the chair user isn't using 'all' of their body...#...but it's like... using your arms in non-powered chairs can be really important so like. it's still fitness.#you don't actually have to equally focus on everything if you don't want to or can't#all this to say that fitness is Not hegemonic and you don't need to feel shame about what you do or don't do#even a tiny tiny TINY amount is significant and matters <3#this is definitely something i've gotten more passionate about since becoming a ~gym bro~#because you see just how different people are and what they want out of fitness#and it's taught me a lot more about my own disabilities and how i work with (and even against) them to find balance#this is what i love about those fitness video games too! because they're often made to be engaging and fun!#i LOVED just dance as a kid and that was fitness merging with video games (and i loved video games (still do!))#and i HIGHLY recommend people get video games like just dance or that one nintendo ring game because of these elements!#it combines the comfort of home with movement with engaging music/story/video game elements#and things like that make me believe in peace and love and care on planet earth <<3

Wait a damn minute…
They’ve got Finn (Mike) listed first before everyone else in the cast on the Tudum site aka the most official, up to date site for the show besides Netflix.com?…
This got me thinking… I wonder if they—
!! MIKE MAIN CHARACTER ERA IS MAKING A COMEBACK IN THE FINAL SEASON OF STRANGER THINGS !! MARK YOUR CALENDARS 2024 !!
#stranger things#mike wheeler#byler#I don’t think they intentionally did this in terms of it being a literal smalltown boy reference#however if the duffers were to broadly explain the synopsis of the show…would they use the word smalltown?…#my main shock is Finn (mike) being listed first…#not only before Millie who follows right behind him#but also the older cast whose getting pushed to the end#which is a result of them choosing to put mike first out of all of them#you know what that means?#we’re going full circle#we’re going back to s1-2 roots#there’s literally nothing else they could mean by saying that#and it’s because the main difference between s1-2 and s3-4 is Mike used to arguably be the protagonist#and so… yeah that’s clearly what they’re referring to in terms of vibe#we’ll still get other povs and focuses just like we did back then#and there will be scenes with Will being the focus and el being in the focus for their arcs storylines#but Mike arguably is going to have to circle back and return to us as his own character as well#the ga is gonna realize they missed him dearly I can’t wait

unspoken dispute to settle
#beedoodles#my ocs#new guy#goopy#its not that new guy wants to obey the law or a liscence it just thinks you are incapable of killing anyone unless#you possess something she found on a sketchy ad hey ordered from YEARS ago. convinced the liscence is out there.#and feels as though the mailman is onto it and Will not deliver it intentionally to foil zer plans#side note new guy also thinks every mailman in the world is the same person and theyre just REALLY good at changing appearances#because xey move around from town to town constantly#they never see the same one#beef from the very beginning .#i imagine little baby guy asking santa for a functional aeroplane and thinking the mailman had intervened in a kindof imaginary scenario#that The Mailman (singular ever changing entity) was at war with Santa and holding gifts hostage#used to be a delivery elf but rebelled and started the world wide postal service in opposition to the Big Jolly Corporation#now dismantling capitalism is a wonderful thing but in a 5 to 8 year olds brain the main focus of the dispute was the bad guy was the one#who made it so Aeroplane present didnt happen#keep in mind this is all imaginary scenario in baby guys head#you know i could embelish on this imaginary scenrio too if i wanted to because you know i love concepts and ideas and my for that fucks goo#as story ideas#you know they DO. im king of the imaginary lanscape of Cartoons and Comics not yet past the fetal stage of rumination#fuck with me#FUCK with me entirely#clenches my fist. looks off into a beautiful sunset. stews about it

lemme tell you im starting to get a little sick of when im complaining about when a show or movie is writing a major female character with not as much depth as her male cohorts or she's written oddly plot device-like for a main character and people always tell me "oh but it's intentional, we're seeing her through the eyes of the male main character and he has a crush on her so he doesnt see her flaws" because like
FIRST of all yeah i get it but its hard to write that trope interestingly to me at this point without a lot of work put into subversion so intentionality doesnt make it any less boring
SECONDLY half the time people say this about ensemble cast stuff and like why is the random dude suddenly designated as the most perspective of all perspective characters when it comes to this specific woman. why dont we get to see the other characters perspectives on her too?
AND THIRDLY do people view women they have crushes on as bland plot devices without lives of their own enough irl that this is so universal in writing? isnt the point of having a crush wanting to hang out and know more about your crush, know about their likes and dislikes and all that. am i missing something here
#im gonna sound insane for what im about to say. but i grew up watching way to much harem anime for a 10 year old#and im gonna be honest. maybe that spoiled me? those things were not without their flaws but at least the 5 different magical giant#goddess demon vampire women with multicoloured hair inexplicably in love with random normal guy at least had like. inner lives#like thats why the guy is so normal and bland. because the focus is on the magical women and their pink hair and their complicated#backstories and familial lives and whatever outside of the main character#like theyre still big boobied colourful haired fantasies but at least they showed me something about em#when it comes to these other stories where a woman is treated like a plot device love interest and written like a dead wife in an#action movie but like. alive. i cant help but feel like. are you holding out on me? i want to know her. show me her LIFE i want to SEE IT#grabs writers by the collar ARE YOU HOLDING OUT ON ME???#its nuts because sometimes you see the bones of a really cool character but the writers are more interested in what she can do for the main#male character and how he sees her than whats going on in her head. i dunno im just getting annoyed. i think u can do this trope well#like how i think you can write basically any trope well. but i see intentionality used an excuse so often so i wanna see you do#SOMETHING interesting with this trope if ur gonna do it at least. subvert it in cool ways i dunno just do ANYTHING hfjdkjfkd

im going to be so real i think im going to snap if i see one more person talking about how There Is No Objective Quality In Art because yes there is!! there arent strict rules about what objective quality is, theres no one size fits all metric, but high quality art is effective in evoking emotion and thought in ways that low quality art isnt. there are so many ways that people can choose to evoke certain feelings through art but the effectiveness of that Is a pretty solid means to determine quality in my experience
#avpswjy#i dunno man it just irritates me lmao#also something doesnt need to be perfect quality to be enjoyable.. youre allowed to like things that are mid or even outright bad#i just think its not only a good practice but actively enjoyable to figure out what artists are going for when they use certain elements#why do writers use certain words? certain sentence lengths? who is the pov from and why? what associations do they draw?#why does an artist use a complex or simple style? what colors do they use? where does light hit and what does it make you focus on?#if someones trying to write a serious horror story and it comes across comical its not good writing#if someones trying to draw a peaceful family scene and it comes across as ominous thats not good art#and again . it Is subjective but not in the same way as most ppl say it is#what people are going for varies! there is no single stylistic choice that is universally bad! but that doesnt mean tht quality doesnt exis#i have more confidence in the horror story i recently wrote than a lot of the work ive done in the past#specifically because i sent it to friends and their theories aligned with the overall vibe and themes i wanted people to come away with#sure some people will misunderstand it or dislike it but i think its pretty effective at what its meant to evoke#idk man. i think anti intellectualism has done a number on art and artistic critique as a whole#and i wish more people approached art (making or appreciating it) with intentionality and not a mindset of blind consumerism

genuinely though. would love to know if I tend to describe a Lot, or barely describe, in my writing style usually. anyone who's read my fanfics? ;-;
#rant#mejo writing#i mean i would GUESS i lean toward Describing a LOT#since my longest star trek fics and Guardian fics definitely are Very Descriptive#but like... is the average dmbj fic me describing a LOT or me quickly moving along without much description?#i knew as a teen i wrote curtly... i know Of A Kind is short and succinct in a good way (intentionally and with effort done so)#but like on the average thing i write im not sure if i could be adding MORE description or if i should#focus on practicing cutting out descriptions

me starting to watch law and order: it's so nice to just casually watch a show that is mostly story driven, to have the characters constantly change and not get too invested in anyone. i love this feeling of casual entertainment without being hyperfixated on any character/ship.
jack mccoy walks in with his goofy smile and strong sense of justice, immediately forming the cutest friendship with his assistant and being an absolute delight to watch.
me: oh no...
#i just got out of an intense hyperfixation on disco elysium can i not get a small break?#i intentionally watched this show as something casuall to not get too invested in#why can i not hyperfixate on planning my wedding instead?#that would be helpful#but no#the worst thing is that this show is not particularly tumblr compatible so i feel like there is not much content to look at#since as i said it's mostly story and not characters that are the focus#law and order#jack mccoy#ramble#about me

i am genuinely incapable of interacting with or existing around other people without fucking everything up and i'm so tired
#i'm so incredibly lonely but at this point i just#don't even have it in me to keep trying?#i'm just going to spend my whole miserable life alone with no friends and it is what it is i guess#i try so hard and still never get anything right and i just don't have the energy or ability to keep trying so hard#if i can't do anything right with all of my focus and effort then why even try?#if i'm going to be lonely and isolated and a bother to everyone anyways why am i still making an effort?#my roommate is my only friend at this point and all i ever do is piss her off and do everything wrong even though i try so hard#and i don't know what the point is anymore#if i'm just a bother and a burden at my best then why am i even trying#i give up#i give up on friends i give up on trying not to make people angry i give up on tryring not to ruin everything i touch#even when i think i'm following someone's exact wishes and instructions i still misunderstand somehow and get it wrong#and it doesn't matter how many times i DO get something right because i've messed up before and that's always more relevant#everyone always acts like i'm intentionally a fuck up or malicious and not just a goddamn idiot#who can't understand other people and what they want no matter how hard i try#venting#i guess#idk i'm being annoying right now even but i have no one to talk to and i have to get it out somewhere#i'm at the end of my fucking rope with just existing

Like the shit voice acting in sh2 Does add to the atmosphere and dissociative qualities of the game, but it feels disingenuous to say that it was intentional. Guy Cihi wasn't and isn't an actor they just got extremely lucky that his variety of bad was to the games benefit. Dont lie to yourself and say all the actors are on the same level as monica taylor horgan. A lot of them are very close to it but guy cihi wasnt
#delete later skater#peace and love ofc ofc#but i cannot respect that man. tbh#like actions dont necessarily reflect quality of wl#*work#but it turns out hes both a shit actor AND shit human#in an interview with thegreatdebate jeremy blaustein talks a bit about the performances w the actors and says not all of them are equal#im largely parroting what he said there tbh just attributing names#david wasnt a bad voice actor. i only caught donna slipping into her natural accent twice#the kid sounded like a kid and monica was phenomenal#what did guy do that was intentionally good#hes out of place and while it works extremely good for the game that doesnt mean it was intentional#they were all working with what they were given#this isnt even getting into the technical shit for why Everyone was sounding stilted in that game#im losing focus rn so#this has gone on too long

I've been thinking so hard about TLEs and strange weather phenomenon and combining it with my ninjago brainrot I'm thinking so hard about Jay's lightning and everything he could potentially do with it
#So like. Red lightning right#Red sprites as they're also called#They're a discharge caused by powerful bolts in thunderstorms that shoot SUPER high up in the atmosphere and are usually HUGE#And I personally believe that Jay works with a really low voltage on purpose cause if he used a regular lightning bolts voltage like-#-half the people he fights would be dead fjdjdjsj#But just imagine him going batshit and releasing a legit superbolt#Or like a huge anvil lightning strike#And seeing above him this huge mass of red lightning that almost looks like tendrils#And when it's gone a green flash stays behind#Or like an ELVE shot#IMAGINE HIM SOMEHOW MAKING A BLUE JET DUDE OUGH#Supercharges the atmosphere and makes st. Elmo's fire#I MEAN HELL EVEN AURORAS ARE ELECTRIC CAN YOU IMAGINE IF JAY CAN PRODUCE AURORAS#Souped up on power can he like sense the electricity inside people can you imagine if he can#Wacky#Guys I have so many thoughts fjskskfkkd#Jay walker your elemental power has so much potential please let yourself be epic with it#To me he uses a lot of focus and control to intentionally lower the power of his lightning strikes like yeah hes freaking out constantly but#There's control there. There's focus. Even if it's not the situation his power he can control and he has to or else people could get hurt#Number one believer in jay being an actually really powerful ninja but he intentionally doesn't use the full extent of his power
