etho said actually you _don't_ understand the intricacies of how tango is my boyfriend and bdubs is my ex

(and how tango and bdubs kiss too)

Scar: We went on that little adventure, you know! Etho: Yeah, yeah, we had our adventure, that's true, that's true. Scar: You disparaged your teammates. That's it, all right, no more spoilers. Etho: (laughs) Our team has -- our team has some weird dynamics this -- this season. Cleo: (overlapping) Really, Etho? Is there trouble in paradise? (pause) Who's third-wheeling with you, again? I can't remember. Etho: (laughs) Uhh. The -- Cleo: Genuinely can't remember. I know it's you and Bdubs. And...Tango? Tango. Tango. Etho: (loudly) Why -- Why is Tango the third wheel? Why -- why isn't Bdubs the third wheel? Cleo: Because it's you and Bdubs. I'm sorry. I understand how that relationship goes. Etho: (dissatisfied) Hmm.

#why is this what makes me post again #tangtho #etho #ethoslab #tango #tangotek #tango tek #bdubs #bdoubleo100 #bangtho #< saw that in etho's comments. and. yeah #also consider that tango and bdubs were together first this series and etho is the third wheel #to the fucked up love hate thing they have going on #there's never been something more appreciating and adoring BUT biting each other as tangdubs #goodtimeswithscar #hermitcraft s10 #wild life smp #wild life smp spoilers #(Sorry but some people have ethubs blinders on but that's so much less interesting to me than the whole.#Yes bdubs is pathetic and will always be at etho's feet. and Yes etho will pity bdubs and want him protected.#but tangtho (!!!) has SO much more to play with...to Me.)#and Why is etho being a tango girl so under-noticed??? lmao. it's there to be noticed All the time #hot mic! hot mic!#but also lowkey dreading ep2 lmao #anyway I'll regret posting this lol #(also I see you asks in my inbox. sorry I haven't replied yet <3 re: s7 oh do I have thoughts! it's where it truly kinda began... I started #forming a reply to you back in May I think but I've been kinda averse to posting/participating in the fandom side for a while. sorry I #stopped being a good place for your tangtho snippets </3 I've still been watching and enjoying the streams and the tango etho joy continues #just haven't really felt like posting)

pretty & cute witch men

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i'm not drawing as much or as well as i'd like to be doing. i'm trying to get through a comic i've been really wanting to do #but i'm just finding it so hard. disheartening. btw the 2nd one relates to some official art of qif wearing a dress like the girls #and the 4th one relates to how i've been drawing EXTREMELY SMALL for years. idk how to explain it but i always clicked 'fit to screen'#and so all my art EVER has looked bad when you zoom in bc it's already like size 1 zoomed in to the MAX pfhgguguhfpfhGHAHHHHH #i was so confused allll this time why brushes always look different for me than what they're supposed to #'wow this brush is so jaggedy..really rather jaggedy...calling it the Jagged Cai Special..bringing it out for those jaggedy moments..#really quite jaggedy i must say...' and it's literally not jaggedy #but now i have to get used to how all those brushes that i'd gotten used to indeed look how they're supposed to finally. Alarming #I have simply been working out absolutely everything by myself for years and that's why my technical progress is slow #ppl say my progress is fast and i certainly have improved much since i began doing all this but #like..it took me a year and half to start using a program where i could Colour In The Lines aka the..whatever it's called. whatever..#just on my lonely confused solemn journey to express gay love better than yesterday.. -_- *picks up my pack n continues through the snow*#btw thank you sm for people's kind words enjoying my narumitsu art & fic over the christmas & new year period <3

ugly baby rivers is gonna be in my brain forever

its not his fault..... newborns are just ugly

(i did some rambling in the tags if u wanna look at it lol)

#species swap au #ss descent #ss rivers #ss fire #theyre so weird. puppies. i think ancients used to have....... litters. i guess. of two to three babies #but they began to evolve to have less #and now its like. twins are pretty common but more often than not you have one #lots of people are opposed to having kids at all because its viewed as cruel to introduce someone to a cycle where they are so aware of-#-their entrapment #i dont think either pregnancy was intentional but fire was probably more welcome #they didnt know she was pregnant with rivers until shed already been for a couple months- and then he was born.... probably like 7 or 8-#-weeks early #fire wasnt on purpose either but they knew earlier and didnt have any complications #they were probably recommended not to go through with fires pregnancy since rivers birth was so hard on her and he was so sick #but i think now that shed had a kid and come to like the idea shed probably be happy to have another baby #i think they have fire mmmmmmmmmm three years after rivers (this is the same gap as me and my sibling. easy to remember)#takes your ask as an excuse to babypost #druid draw

actually so evil how much of hal's internal world gets obliterated with the rewriting of his relationships with jessica and martin.

#hal jordan #empyrean posting #ok going in the tags because im not actually v confident in my understanding of his character. i read all of his 80s/90s stuff but forgot #90% of it but ANYWAY.#so much of him just does not make sense with how geoff johns characterises him and his relationships with his parents particularly the #parallax stuff simply because of how much his relationship with the guardians and their apathy/'betrayal' is influenced by hal's original #relationship with his dad. like at its heart it's pretty much the same dynamic in how hal blindly trusts and sort of idolises the guardians #despite their repeated infractions in hope of... something in return just as he had with his father and the abuse he suffered at martin's #hands. that's what makes his anger at the guardians make sense when it does show itself because the relationship parallel didn't stop there.#as with martin hal gets nothing for his devotion. he gets nothing for doing everything that's asked of him and more and it ends the same way #too: with a man in the sky burning like a newborn star. and you lose so much of that nuance and intrigue behind that if you just make #jessica the 'bad one' because!!! you cheapen it!!!!#the whole idea of hal is that he has his father's face but his mother's scars #(to me). in the sense that they both reacted to martin the same way with that cognisance of who he was as a man yet inability to pull away #because... love. both the love they had for him and the conviction that he did or could love them too. and jessica arguably did eventually #but also she didnt did she? because she held onto that notion of love till the very end. the few scraps she had she ballooned outwards until #they became the whole. but hal didnt have even that and he spent his whole life chasing it & running away from wanting it at the same time #like i think there's something so interesting to the fact that he had to be convinced that flying was what he wanted to do. how much of that #was touched by his father? the fear that he was already too much like him than he could bear to be? he already had his face now he had his #dreams and longing for the sky. how much more could he have before he began repeating the cycle?#and at the end he even had his father's death. burning in the clouds. like there's so much there and that's not even touching on how it #impacts his relationships with other heroes. not just in the sense of why did kyle clark and diana get to keep their close yet complex #relationships with their moms when hal had to lose his (although yeah why did they) but also just how he lets himself come across to them.#because it's on purpose right? that he lets them think his reflection of his father is born out of unadulterated love for a man worthy of it #? he has his father's job he wears his father's jacket he smiles his father's smile. what else are they supposed to think.#and isnt that interesting!!! that this man who is so committed to being good & just can lie so casually to people he thinks of as friends!!!#can you see how that might be his mother through and through!!! in how she might have glossed over the abuse to other people and herself!!!#can you see how in spite of it all he might want to be perceived as his father that paragon of masculinity and resent that he is not!!!#do you understand how everything he loves has been poisoned!!! im thinking of that scene where he tells bruce about watching martin die &#wouldnt it have been so much more interesting through this lens. how he is both revealing & obfuscating at once. i hate the change sm

every few years im reminded that the war of the worlds stage show exists which is never good because i always find something new to hate about it

#missives #the war of the worlds #jeff wayne #watched a few clips of the latest tour and brooooo why does it suck so bad #it doesnt have to be this way. make me the single divine arbiter of what goes into the show and ill fix it i promise #lile obviously it is successful somehow but that doesnt make it good #rip it from jeff's clammy little hands and make it into a proper musical please please please. they were on the right track in 2016 #with the dominion theatre production #its been downhill ever since #like. its just a bunch of decrepit old men way past their prime who desperately need to retire (looking at jeff and herbie flowers and JH)#and a stupid fucken hologram of an actor nobody likes. put a real actor there PLEASE #its soooo painful watching these genuinely talented performers being forced to rush their lines #anyway! my latest gripe #every new iteration of brave new world ive seen since 2018 keeps making the song worse #2018 is on thin fucking ice bevause i like the cast so much but thats where it all began im pretty sure #turning the end of the song into this weird combo love duet and whole cast ensemble song (life begins again) out of fucken nowhere #its the artilleryman's song holy shit get that out of here!#and i get that the latest tour is the 'post covid' life begins again tour or w/e but holy FUCK #can someone please explain to me why they now even have the other cast members on the screen saying lines at the same time #as the artilleryman #e.g. im not trying to tell you what to be #and its going to have to start with me and you etc etc etc #its annoying and even worse it doesnt make sense!!! why are they there!!! why are they saying the lines!! those lines have a very #specific meaning within the context of the song #idk it just seems like the song keeps being stripped of all its original meaning and i really like it so it's driving me bonkers #anywya. ANYWAY

genuinely, though, this has truly been a time to be a lurker on jp music project twt

#quick timeline of events straight from my twt dash that i still cant believe i had the joy of witnessing:#the chaos began a few months ago with the tu.yu deletion threat. then things seemed fine for a bit*#*(if you don’t count the en.strries and pj.sktwt beating each other in the qrts every other hour or so)#then nghy became canon and that’s when the coincidences began to line up in a bewildering series of events #nghy outrage came first. then kinchan (hanamaru llss) announced her marriage (surprisingly gom was there in the comments which was funny)#but what wasnt funny was people trying to cancel her *just* for getting married. (c’mon guys cant you be happy for your oshi smh)#and *then* people tried to cancel the new ll group for allegedly using a.i generated album artwork based off a low res image #which was quickly debunked by subsequent releases over the following days but. the damage was done. smh #and *t h e n* tu.yu deletion was cancelled via twt poll. which. was a choice. ig.#(still think they should’ve deleted instead of guilt tripping their fans with the poll options tbh. but oh well.)#and *now* there’s the. choice. made by en.st. that im not touching with a 10 foot pole bc everything that needs to be said about it #has already been expressed more eloquently by twt users and their ‘creative’ threats to the management. it’s still a horrific choice though.#b u t there was someone comparing the en.st. ‘choice’ with lxl last stage (the part where the green dude tore up the ‘new member’ paper)#and someone qrted that and said sth like ‘well that’s well and good for lxl’s story. b u t…’#‘(hw) management ruined the story of a love series character (hiyori) by pairing her off with a childhood friend who appeared from nowhere’#‘so maybe it’s not the best example to use when it comes to management choices’ and so………..#we’ve come full circle back to nghy outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a time to be alive. man. seriously.#i think it’s a truly terrible coincidence how all of these happened within days of each other (minus the tu.yu initial deletion notice)#…anyways i think twt is a horrible place to be on. that’s all.#but. point is. i think everyone should just try to be decent(?) people on the interwebs #if you have nothing nice to say just don’t say anything at all yk~~~~~~~#…unless you’re an en.strrie. then pls direct your complaints to the official management instead of each other~~~ it’s all their fault~~~~#so glad i dont care much for en.strs anymore tbh. md.chips who left early back during the sudden pivot to chi.kn were on to something tbh #…aight enough doomscrolling for one evening. back to cleaning idolsengen pages (or trying to at least)#this has truly been an immersive asuna experience… or something

Finallly got around to properly designing Demonstrator! She’s silly

#keese draws #oc art #oc #she’s a part of the story with lace and the others #she’s in fact a big part of the reason lace was able to find out everything she did in the first timeline #so Long story short she was from the very end of the time period that the creators were still around #well at that point only 2 of them were and the one that made her left super shortly after but yknow #but after the last creator died within their world the gods began fighting for power and control #the time god had seen what becomes of this and freaked out and tried to preserve at least one of the people of this era by sending her to #the future before he immediately stopped doing that since he has little control over his powers and was sent to a different time period #during that war pretty much every other original non god inhabitant of this world ended up dead #all the modern day magic relics are in fact pieces of these old inhabitants that carry enough of their original owners magic #to be used for casting purposes #the main party found demonstrator while they were working on their main quest and had assumed she was a relic before accidentally unfreezing #her and realizing this was a living person why was very confused as to what happened #but yeah demonstrator was mostly created as an experiment and she knows that so she’s eager to get the others to help her test her abilities #lace was very intrigued by her and her abilities especially given her concerns surrounding well. everything lately.#demonstrator basically just has shitty magic 8 ball magic where you can ask her a question and her abilities will show her some answer #these answers can’t be full on false but they can be extremely vague or even just complete nonanswers so usefulness carries #she can also only produce an answer once per question #although luckily it’s pretty loose on what one question is so you can just rephrase the same question a bunch of different ways if you want #so she and lace were still able to find out a shit ton of stuff and the rest is history #important to note that her role in the modern timeline is still pretty prone to change but I’m currently planning on her having also been #sentenced to the timeloop tumbler but in a different location so she and lace weren’t able to keep eachother company #I’m still working out what I want to do with her character tho I have ideas but nothing concrete #she’s existed conceptually for a couple months now but I have been mostly prioritizing the basic worldbuilding and story set up #but now that I have that done I’ve been slowly chipping at fleshing out the main cast so that means demonstrator too #I kind of want her and lace to be doomed toxic yuri post loops but again it depends

Nghhh chewing on finweans and realizing how self-sacraficial is so deeply instilled in that family, and that that particular trait is prevalent in each generation.

Finwe knew he couldnt win against Morgoth, but he could try and protect his grandchildren. He fought regardless.

Fingolfin knew he couldnt twin against Morgoth in 1-on-1. He fought regardless.

Finrod knew he would die on his quest for Beren, and still fought the wolf to save his friend. He did.

Celebrimbor knew he could protect others by dying, protecting the knowledge about the rings. He did.

It stands to reason that Elladan, Elrohir or Arwen, would have come upon a similar fate.

#sometimes it just hits me with a sledgehammer like that family (esp the feanorian side) is portrayed as selfish a lot #(instert 'justice for caranthir for tslling Angrod to fucking stick with the people who arent hiding in Menegroth from Morgoth'-agenda)#(insert 'feanor was a selfish prick by abandoning the others in aman and forcing his sons to re-swear the oath upon his death' rant)#but i still think they are actually more opputunistic when you REALLY want to put a word ending with -istic there #feanor saw the opportunity to leave aman. fuck the brother he never liked. feanor only needs the people who'll be loyal to his family anyway #curufin saw the opportunity to get support form those of nagothrongld after he and celegorm had to flee like cowards from the dragons #which. for two people who i think have immense pride in their battle skill and strength must have been a HUGE ego blow #celegorm saw the opportunity to either: fuck over doriath and thingol by keeping luthien as political leverage (i dont think he's have #forced himself on her intimately. so fuck that. idc man. leave that shit away from me. he's an asshole but not a rapist imo anyway)#or: get a silmaril out of this mess SOMEHOW.#maedhros saw the opportunity of a possibly successful assault on angband after the silmaril quest of B+L and immediately began warplanning #and realistically speaking you cant tell me that maedhros didn't see the opportunity to casually drop the fact that it was HIS brothers and #HIMSELF holding basically all the eastern lands of beleriand in safety by closing off the Gap of Maglor while... where have you heard vague #rumours of turgon and ⅓ of the nolofinwean people maybe possibly not having died after suddenly disappearing? yeah. thought so.#just the opportunity to make slight political jibes available to shut anyone up about them being selfish #this is a weird post idk where this is going i stopped thinkig halfway though the second sentence #somehow that tag rant veered from self-sacraficial to opportunistic. didnt have that on my bingo card

Talking to [leftist/socialist/progressive/whatever] white people as a brown girl is always an experience

#🐈‍⬛⚜️#A couple weeks back I was stopped by these uni students who were promoting a convention and advocating for Palestine #I was really sad and tired then so I was like sure. let's chat #I signed a petition and began talking to these 2 girls #One was a white girl. the other wasn't. could not pinpoint her background though #Anyways. we talked about the state of the world and Palestine and how the US and by extension the Western World has failed them #(which is a topic of its own because the Western World did not 'fail Palestine' they literally wanted this annihilation to happen #and have been an active participant in it)#And I pointed how ultra rich Arab countries have completely turned a blind eye to it but poorer countries such as Yemen. Lebanon have #been doing so much. despite their own vulnerable position #And this girl said but they're still not doing enough. they could lend military help #I was just disappointed because it doesn't take more than 15 seconds to realise why a regional war is not the solution #By virtue of wanting justice. I would want the IOF to be blown up too but that's not the solution #simply because the casualties will be the civilians of all of these countries and we cannot put millions of people at risk #And she kept telling me about how they're a socialist group. and she was also kind of taken aback by how much thoughts I had about this?#They're having a convention on Socialism and co (social issues. Marxism and all that jazz) next month and that I should consider cominv #Then she hit me with 'The entry is only $90' and there's a student bundle where you can get a book and a tote bag #Honestly funny as shit #And she kept insisting I should buy the book. it was 'Introduction to Marxism' I believe #I did not know how to tell her that I did not want to read that. and even if I did I would just pirate the Communist Manifesto #Anyways. interesting experience and it did make me focus back on how different Brown Leftists and white leftists are #I like to give them grace because it's hard to know context and history and social rules about somewhere you haven't lived or grown up #But I do believe if you're advocating for another group of people. you need to learn and understand first and foremost #I actually don't know what to make of that whole interaction tbh

Does anyone in the Tomorrow series ever actually... tell Ellie that what happened in NZ wasn't her fault?? That it's absolutely different to what Lee chose to do, in that she had her choice taken away? That it's not lame or weak or a reflection on her in any way? Because I know the way she's dealing with it is realistic for a lot of people but I also think it's really important that a series aimed at kids acknowledges that it wasn't her fault instead of inadvertently teaching them that it's okay to internalise all this, and by extension that Ellie was right to blame herself. Idk. I just know that if I had read the series through when I first started it at 12, I would have learnt from Ellie, and it's getting hard to read now, thinking that some kids would have.

#tomorrow when the war began #ellie linton #ellie tomorrow when the war began #the tomorrow series #tomorrow when the war began books #anyway I just read the bit where Fi is telling her that Lee sleeping with the enemy and risking all their lives is the same as Ellie #sleeping with the guy in Wellington and I know Fi doesn't know that Ellie was coerced and raped but it's still bloody hard to read #especially because Ellie says about how she wants to tell Fi that he got her drunk and forced her into it and she didn't have the energy to #fight back but then she says 'But I knew it'd sound too lame.' Like I know. I KNOW that's a reasonably normal reaction to something like #that happening to you. But equally it's not actually true. And while the character might not recognise that the author and audience should #It could have at least been phrased as her Feeling like it would sound lame instead of Knowing #because it's phrased as a fact not the character's thoughts and feelings and I don't think many people in the target age range of these #books will be reading it critically enough to be thinking about how she's an inherently unreliable narrator as all first hand accounts tend #to be. They'll read something phrased as a fact about a topic that they haven't really learnt anything else about and assume it's at least #little bit true
