Black Sails tarot part 5 (1, 2, 3, 4)
the star, moon, and sun as max, anne, and jack came to me in a holy vision and i'm still so pleased that i found images of them all sitting and oriented the same way. trio of all time
and that's it! i only did the major arcana bcs any more would've killed me lol. i think i finished the final versions in november, so it's been almost a full year and, despite the flaws i still see, i still really love this project!
#black sails#black sails tarot#the through line for the set was s1 silver as the fool (optimism and potential) to s4 silver as judgement (ultimately deciding flint's fate#(with a stop at lovers for love but also choices)#it's about the THEMES#i feel like i couldve done more with judgement but i had the vision of that scene in particular and this is what i came up with#the other through line is of course flint:#magician is all willpower and action and resourcefulness#to charles town as justice (not law but fairness; he tried to do it their way and they killed miranda. now it's the pirate way)#and ending up with thomas as the world: fulfillment and completion#mypersonalthings

Seeing some pretty gross posts about Miguel, and... It's actually pretty important that Miles, an Afrolatino character, is both making friends with the younger generation of POC and in direct conflict with the older generation of POC. Like yeah Gwen and Peter B. are still important figures in his life for good and now also bad reasons, but it is Miguel and Jessica who he has an ideological conflict with. It is Hobie who in some ways takes over as a mentor and guide. Margo helps him escape. Pavitr is someone Miles himself helps and gives advice to. The antagonist is not Latino because they wanted to use stereotype shorthand to make everyone understand how dangerous he is, he is Latino because Miles is Latino. And surprise surprise this movie has a lot to say about-- not generational trauma per say, but community trauma. About what happens when shared trauma starts to define the boundaries of who is and who isn't a member of your community, rather than shared passions and shared dreams and shared missions.
#across the spiderverse#miguel o'hara#miles morales#across the spiderverse spoilers#media analysis#it's about the Themes#because. the reason my grandpa doesn't consider himself mexican is because he got out#he did the right and proper american thing and converted and worked his way out of poverty and married a white lady#so he's not mexican anymore he's american. because he doesn't live with the same trauma that the rest of his mexican family live with#and idk#i just think about that a lot#my grandpa is so proud of the way he assimilated#i've never heard him speak spanish#and i know there was a lot more too it and probably i'm reading too much into it#but for miles to say that he can be spiderman without having to suffer for it#that this is his identity not necessarily because he chose it but because he embraced it#and it doesn't have to be bathed in blood to matter...#hm#yeah#good stuff

There's a detail in the amnesia extra that shows that post-canon Xie Lian still wears simple cultivator robes made of rough fabric despite having a rich husband that would give him all the fancy stuff he wants. Which goes against the idea of Hua Cheng forcing luxury onto Xie Lian, he only gave him clothes made of expensive fabric in the extra because Xie Lian is currently his prince self who is used to better quality.
Like yeah, Hua Cheng does love to spoil Xie Lian and Xie Lian likes his attentions and gifts, but the rough fabric, the humble Puqi shrine, these are things that Xie Lian also likes. These are things he thinks fit the person he became is these 800, Xie Lian is not ashamed of being a scrap god because he sees the value in scraps. Because his life as a scrap collector actually allowed him to understand the common people he wanted to help better than he did when he was a prince or a god. And Hua Cheng understands this, he doesn't think any of this is below Xie Lian. From the first night in Puqi shrine, Xie Lian notes how San Lang doesn't bat an eye at the dilapated state of the cabin.
Hua Cheng has no expectations to impose on Xie Lian and accepts whatever judgement XL makes. Not only that. but in his own way, Hua Cheng is also a person who rejects the status quo and ideas of what should be, as exemplified by him rejecting ascension, creating a safe haven for ghosts and answering the prayers of poor children rather than of nobles.

... okay but I reckon I could write a book where humans and creatures of Greek myth inhabit the world together, and this school teacher is married to a minotaur who was all "I want kids Dolores" meanwhile she's fantasizing about boning down with the hot medusa who picks up her problem child at the end of each day.
And it would slap.
Me: maybe I’m not cut out to be a writer…idk what if I’m not good enough
BookTok romance writers: ‘what if you were just a normal school teacher…but the MINOTAUR wanted to get you PREGNANT’
#it's about the THEMES#the Greek tragedy#the flaws that ultimately cause the downfall#the ALLEGORY#the minotaur is the maze#she feels trapped by him#the medusa is a mirror to her#she's not turned to stone but she feels held in place paralysed#to make a story good you just need to start with a ridiculous premise and work out where the serious bits go

...weird amount of dunmeshi fans have been saying being a caretaker in a relationship is the worst thing ever..marcille must want to killl everyone soo bad because doing things for people suuuucks sooo muchh
it's an act of love, not just a job i promise. we all want someone who's willing to take care of us in some way, just like how senshi shows care for others by cooking for them :'|
#marcille donato#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#laios touden#falin touden#chilchuck tims#izutsumi#delicious in dungeon#this is also about kabru and mithrun stop focusing so hard on how it was ‘forced upon’ kabru as if it’s the most evil thing in the world#they took care of EACH OTHER during that time and mithrun wasn’t doing nothing#people are so weird about him and reduce mithrun down to his disability as if he isn’t CAPTAIN for a reason#it’s sooo insane#try thinking about how their time together serves the themes of the story rather than a biased interpretation#of all the things that happen in this manga people focus on the weirdest things to apply to real life#people try to construe is as something evil with evil intent as if it’s not there to benefit the THEMES of the story#woah a huge...heron? just landed on a tree i've been staring at it for like 10 minutes its pretty#dungeon meshi spoilers

End-of-Splatoon thoughts.
Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.
Thinking about finding golden human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About the Voyager Golden Records. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?
Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.
Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.
Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns aren’t uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.
Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after we’re gone, the oceans will remember, and they’ll pick up where we left off.
Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity –– the thing that will outlive us –– isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.
#personal#splatoon#“indomitable human spirit” but what if it wasn't just “human”#what if every creature had the capability to embody this spirit. they just need the chance#anyways splatoon's core theme is about how art and music is the most important thing on earth#wasn't expecting to get kinda emotional but in trying times it's nice that splatoon says that the art we make is a message to future#generations that we were once here and to *Do Better* than us. Be kind and keep making art#dead isn't gone.

The Barbie movie really said. Yes you will grow up and childhood wonder will vanish. Yes you will grow up and learn to hate yourself, your body, your awkwardness. Yes you will grow up and lose your confidence and certainty and sense of purpose. Yes you will grow up and the world will seem a bleaker, lonelier place every day, and society will seem bleaker and lonelier every day, and you won’t understand what went wrong in the span of just a few years, what took you from a happy and secure young girl to a sad, uncertain, scared grown woman.
And yet. You will learn to find beauty again. You will find joy in not having a purpose, in building a purpose for yourself. You will find beauty in connection, with the people and the world around you. You will learn to love signs of ageing as proof of a life well lived, of experience and happiness. You will take that little girl by the hand and tell her “I know, this isn’t what you thought it would be, but it’s real. Let me show you how beautiful it can be.”
#idk I’m just really really emotional about this movie#it hit me in my core#like I loved the political critique obviously but#the message about growing up and losing your sense of identity and purpose just resonated with me#I’ve been crying about this since I saw the movie lmao#and I haven’t really seen a lot of commentary on this theme#barbie#barbie movie
