I do not draw the blue outfit as much as I should considering how much I love it 💙🧡 The color palette of aqua, teal, and orange is one of my favorites, which I entirely fail to communicate with my art style LOL I also adore the Trickster makeup. Such flare! Such flash! Such color (not pictured)! LOL

A special note: wishing Joey Vice the best of luck with his endeavors after Kooza! His Trickster was so mesmerizing, so inspiring, that you couldn’t look away. I will forever treasure my memories of the performances I was lucky enough to see ; w ; ✨

Imo in order to finish your writing project you need to be unhealthily obsessed with your characters to a point where you question your sanity

when dandadan said the children are our future and we as adults should protect them with our lives if it comes down to it, and when dandadan compared the exploitation of the gig economy to assault in that it denies one of their personhood and autonomy, and when dandadan said we owe it to the most marginalized to see and remember them when society fails them, and when dandadan said violence begets violence and therefore it is brave and just to choose kindness even when it’s hard, and when dandadan said the pressure and expectations we place on children are unfair and have lasting impacts on them, and when dandadan said the world is a rotten place and it’s for that exact reason that you have to choose to help others and try to make it better, and when dandadan said it is possible to forgive those who have hurt you because people are complicated and deeply flawed, and only through doing so can you move forward, and when da—

i really like the scene where maomao is let go because it serves as a microcosm of a lot of jinmao's pre-relationship tension while also being great use of miscommunication. jinshi wants maomao but not at the cost of her happiness and freedom, and maomao doesn't fight for desires that she believes are out of her grasp as a "lowly commoner."

Sae Niijima is such a good character it drives me insane a little. She's not a mother nor a maternal or doting older sister but instead a twenty four year old who was thrown into a position of responsibility that she never asked for. She loves Makoto just as much as she resents her and its so apparent every time they talk up until November. "Are you studying?" (I want you to do well) (I need you to get a job and stop making my life harder) "I'll use any method necessary to get this promotion" (Life will be easier for us) (So stop distracting me with your problems) "Focus on your future" (I know that you're capable) (I can't afford to waste my time on you, so stop wasting time on others)

Makoto is not only the sole reason she pushes as hard as she does for a promotion, for success, and the reason that she loses herself in her animosity over her fathers death, but also someone she can't stand for so long. Makoto was 14-15 when their father died. Sae was 21. As soon as she got the career she wanted and things started to look up, her stability was robbed from her and she was disillusioned with the system that her father had taught her to rely on and completely adhere to. How do you manage, the daughter of a cop, following his footsteps towards law enforcement, when you're suddenly reminded of how unfair it is? You can't quit, your little sister relies on you and she's so young and struggling just as badly with this grief. So you pick yourself up and you get moving again. You push harder, press further. You abandon your morals and your ethics because punishing criminals (guilty or not) is almost like punishing the man who killed your father.

And the whole time she's fighting for promotions, going for drinks with the SIU Director to make herself more favourable for promotions, trying to navigate being a woman in a competitive, suffocating, male-dominated field, falling behind despite doing so much where others are promoted for doing so little - all the while your little sister comes back from school and her biggest issues are so small compared to yours.

Persona 5 revolves so heavily around grief and loss and change and Sae embodies all of that so well, all of the sharp and unpleasant and jagged parts of grief.

my fascination with the character has gone from blind lust to needing to dissect his psyche like a science experiment

something very funny about the fact that Silver isn't aware of the narrative enough to know that 'darkness' also represents internalised homophobia. he thinks it just means rage.

so Silver is like "I'm afraid of getting too close to Flint because I'll be dragged into the depths of his desires. he awakens some dark urge within me that feels really good but I know it should be shameful." thinking that it's like secret fourth dimension evil powers and not just.. gay thoughts

When plenty of animals are clearly happy to go without reproducing, even for a short time, so they can assist other members of their species… can we really believe that the sex drive trumps everything else? [...] Cooperative breeders give the lie to the idea that reproduction is some inexorable purpose, ordained by God or nature, that all animals unthinkingly bend towards. They prove that the opposite is true. Animals have other motivations, more powerful than the sex drive: social cohesion. Future planning. Group survival.

Aka: I ramble about my two greatest passions: aspec issues and birds.

Peter Parker who feels like he breaks everything he touches. A curse to everyone and anyone around him just by existing. His parents, Ben, and the lingering threat of losing May, MJ, and Ned. Even when he tries to do a little good as Spider-Man, he still manages to crash and burn…

vs.

Tony Stark who is determined to fix anything and everything. That’s what he does, it’s what he was born to do. He’s a mechanic and inventor. And god damn it, he couldn’t care less if Peter break things because he’ll fix it. It’s his purpose afterall and if Peter somehow manages to get tangled up in it and he has to start carrying around a fire extinguisher— Well, maybe that’s not so bad.

I really like when fics make it so Merlin is the reason arthur comes back to life, in whatever capacity that takes. to me that feels the most consistent to the show because the whole damn prophecy exists in the first place because of the love between Merlin and Arthur. Merlin creates and falls into the prophecy because of his great love, he actively turns arthur into a legend and into the one and future king as well as dooming him to his fate. isn’t it right that he is the reason the final part of the prophecy comes true as well? that because of his emotions and love and anguish that Arthur one day comes back to him?

merlin is immortal and arthur is his other half. you can’t fully be cut off from that which makes you whole. Arthur will be drawn back to him, death and the grave be damned
