Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but
considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill
Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"
But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.
They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.
It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.
I don't know I just think it's particularly neat
#my ponderings#the old guard#I know we all love to play the 'if you could go back in time and kill One Person who would it be' game#but I think a movie that makes it EXTREMELY SATISFYING to see the Bad Guys die -#- having 'actually the best and greatest changes happen when people help each other' as its underlying message...#it means something#I also think it connects to Andy feeling like nothing she does changes anything at the start of the movie#for 80% of her life you could Solve A Problem by Taking Out The Guy Causing The Problem#especially in battle! you kill the general and you win. if you win the Problem Is Solved#but then everything becomes More Complex. the Problems™️ are globalized and/or systemic.#and Winning a Battle means just killing people. it doesn't Stop The Problem (nor really end a war)#so it feels useless#and even when they save people... they can’t stay in people's lives for long because immortality#which means they can never know what happens to the people they save#they don't (and can't) have the full picture

why is it that 90% of criticism of the song of achilles just boils down to not accepting the conventions of romance as a genre and wanting it to simply be a different book than what it is? because seriously if you can’t get with the fact that the song of achilles is a queer romance story first and a retelling of the iliad second you’re never gonna make a criticism of it that’s interesting to me. if i wanted to read a book that was accurate to the source material then i would just read the iliad. if i wanted to read a queer romance unfolding on the backdrop of a mythical war i would read the song of achilles. if you dont understand the difference between those two things then your beef with that book is just a waste of time to me
#tangential but i think tsoa had a little bit of a hunger games effect#where it inspired so many knockoffs of itself that it retroactively is percieved as worse than it actually is#also at the end of the day its obviously not meant to be about the iliad its about tragic queer love in ancient greece#it frustrates me a lot that people really just cant understand that lmaooo#.txt#alex talks#books#bookblr#the song of achilles#the iliad#the classics#patrochilles#achilles/patroclus#ya#ancient greece#ancient rome#greatest hits

Johnny's ass keeps pushing Sento away from the support on his back because it's too big btw, do you think Sento knows. Is Sento aware that johnny's cheeks are constantly pushing it. And if so, do you think Sento cares at all, being a sword and all. Is that mundane for a sword. Does Sento compare whose backs or waists or butts or hands felt nicer. Does Kenshi know. Would it tell Kenshi that his hands are the most caring but Johnny's ass is the biggest.
#maybe that's just how it works. being a sword. even if you're sentient.#johnshi#<- target audience#I'm assuming that all the souls in that sword (or most of them) held it before and some kept it on their backs#so now i'm wondering if they get there agter they die and start thinking they should have kept sento in a different position#or if they mind the climate or where the sword is kept#like do they feel it? they are in it but do they feel it#do they ever think 'if I knew it felt this way i would have cared for Sento in a different manner'#i know im anthropomorphizing the sword but the sword has people in it#sento: hey descendent can you light a fire we're cold#kenshi: Oh of course!#sento: thank you. do you want us to give you the grace of vision so you can see the white boy's ass btw#kenshi: what#sento: its a really nice ass. who said that.#kenshi:#mortal kombat#im sorry i juat wanted to talk about the souls in there feeling thinfs through the sword but that implies they felt johnnys ass#and i wanted to make a joke about it#inside sento:#- Akira Taiga-sama had the nicest hands but Hayao-sama had the greatest butt.#both of them also inside the sword hearing this: thank you ascendent you honor us#no but really i kike the idea the sento feels that kenshi is caring for it 🥲

How do you feel about men writing for Jenna Ortega?
I feel like I don’t care. In short. I don’t care what your gender is, you’re writing amazing products and I’m eating them up. That’s what matters to me. I don’t like the idea of gatekeeping, and in the words of Chef Gusteau; anyone can cook. And believe me, the men are cooking 🔥🔥🔥
You can’t stop writing, it’s an art, why would you want to? It just brings us back into their full circle of problematic hate. Repressing someone for creating beautiful content isn’t valid whatsoever. Hating on someone without a reason besides “they just ruin everything.” Isn’t a valid reason. If you’re gonna hate on someone, you better have a good reason for it and not generalize the selected target for your hate.
I see this problem where women complain in the fan fiction committee that men over sexualize characters and the hypocrisy could not be more insane. I, a woman, constantly see characters such as the aforementioned Jenna, Wanda Maximoff and Natasha Romanoff being oversexualized CONSISTENTLY by my own community of women. Therefore I don’t see it as a valid reason when every time I look at the x reader tags I see the kinkest shit ever, written by a woman.
Your brain is built to understand when a problem is a real problem. Men wanting to read fanfiction or write it, is not a problem. If you can’t understand that, it’s just a skill issue atp 🤷♀️
#its all really up to the writer#dni exists for a reason#the greatest artists will always be flamed#spaghetti answers#wanda maximoff x reader#wanda x reader#wanda x you#jenna ortega x gnreader#jenna ortega x gn!reader#jenna ortega x y/n#jenna ortega x you#jenna ortega x fem!reader#jenna ortega x reader#natasha romanoff x you#natasha x reader

sometimes i wish i was one of those artist that make people go "this is a PAINTING???" or "with WHAT programm/medium???" but its just not what i can do or find fun :/
#ganondoodles talks#personal#not really for the attention thing but more for .. work being recognized?#im not sure#to feel more like people actually stop and look at sth instead of skipping over it?#maybe its jsut an internet phenomena(?)#like the way everything is just consumed within seconds and never lasts long and if you miss the trend you are irrelevant#the sort of weird pressure to have to subvert expectations or be exceptionally exceptional just to be recognized ?#(which i know isnt always a good thing lol)#also this isnt a complaint per se more like a thought#like i sometimes wish i was into the popular characters instead of the niche ones etc#that kind of thing#also like i wish i could make art that really speaks to people .. like those that are just so .. interesting and strange and poetic#bc (while i know fanart and silly oc projects arent worhtless) those feel more worthwhile? more worth really being called art?#for soemthing to be truly art it should be either exceptionally skilled or profound like the greatest poets?#im just doing whatever my brain allows me to do- which i know is fine#but i also dont think its inherently wrong to wish for being more than that sometimes#(... maybe its mostly just loneliness without knowing how to find friends)#(especially where i am and especially as i just want a friend to live with - not a partner... i dont want to be this alone forever ...)#(actually ....... what if all my art self consciousness comes from wanting to feel less lonely .. oh dear- no time to unpack that omg)

"i get to thinkin' 'bout your sun-kissed face / and a quiet place i could give you all my time"
textless :3
based on a self-indulgent headcanon that lloyd laughs like a goofball and very easily at terrible jokes. he snorts and giggles and wheezes, his nose wrinkles and his grin is all sorts of lopsided. he has to hold himself from falling over, and crinkles form underneath his eyes, and he's laughing so so loudly and javier thinks it's the cutest look in the world. lloyd really should laugh more often, take it easy more often. it suits him.
#tged#the greatest estate developer#lloyd frontera#tged lloyd#javier asrahan#tged javier#the greatest estate designer#llovier#javilloyd#llojavi#lynn's art#caption lyrics are from sunkissed by khai dreams#i dont know how to explain it but that song is llovier to me. like in a “domestic / at the end of our journey” kind of way#its also very catchy so its been in my head ALL WEEK. AND BECAUSE I ASSOCIATE IT WITH LLOVIER. IVE BEEN THINKING OF LLOVIER ALL WEEK#their hair was a pain in the ASS to draw btw. how do yall do it#how the hell does the illustrator do it???#javier specifically you. shaking you your hair is so hard#what do you think the joke javier said was#i didn't really think that far about what kind of terrible jokes javier would make and what kind of jokes lloyd would definitely laugh at

do you guys ever think it possible that crowley not only consistently tries to protect or save aziraphale from shit not just bc he really cares for this funky lil angel but also bc aziraphale protected crowley from the first rain without a second thought or a whisper of hesitation and crowley has too big a heart to not want to forever return the favour, demonstrating that he considers that first act of innate kindness to merit keeping aziraphale from harm for all eternity, and his complete devastation at finding the bookshop on fire and aziraphale nowhere to be found was rooted in his feeling that he let down his angel when he needed crowley most,,, or is it just me
#good omens#good omens season 1#crowley#aziraphale#big feelings on this fine saturday evening#oh we're really in it now#sigh is this not the greatest love story ever told????#ineffable husbands#not a shitpost but its good omens babyyyy

Crazy issues that come up when a character is written a little too well
#yay story time comic nobody asked for#funnily enough i will NEVER play undertale on the computer because of this#my first exposure to undertale was jacksepticeye and i am glad i didn't opt to play the game myself at the time#flowey closing the game and then the broken start up cutscene was bad enough just WATCHING it#and i STILL have to watch that chara thing at the end with a far distance from my screen and the volume down#not because of the scary face but because of the violin noise that sounds like its a repeating tone rather than a loop#and then of course the window hopping around#am also very glad i was spoiled about the spamton mercy win before i tried it myself#am slightly worried about future deltarune chapters but at least now i'm anticipating it#anyway remember when i tagged that one post ''i'm scared of computers and it's a monkey's fault''#now you know :3#i really wanted this done on thursday#and apparently dawn's brain says friday doesn't happen until after i fall asleep#so now i am awake and it is 4:30 and i hear birds chirping so nighty night#((or good morning))#yay comic :D i was right this did help a lot with getting some program familiarity#it's not the greatest paneling in the world but it's good for now#idk if i should really tag him or not#but uh#spamton#deltarune#spamton enjoyers i am so sorry#i am terrified of him only because he does his job in the story very well

I love how zolu fics that included marriage are usually between two extremes:
Either they got married in their solo sailing days/before meeting nami and have been married the whole time.
Or they're going through the slowest of slowest burns ever spanning the entirety of one piece and vow to get married after they fulfill their dreams.
Edit: fic recs in the notes
#obviously there are exceptions but its a common difference ive noticed#either way they are so embarrassingly in love and im obsessed w it#i personally really like 'surprisingly married the whole time' fics for the humour (also pre-establised zolu is also just. so good)#but slow burn zolu has SUCH GOOD angst and the fact that being together forever becomes as much part of their dreams as becoming#the worlds greatest swordsman/pirate king. is just <333#psii.txt#1pc#zolu#text#just realized this can apply to most zolu fics actually. w/o the marriage aspect they are just. yea

Apologies
#shadowpeach#six eared macaque#sun wukong#lmk#lego monkie kid#monkey king#liu'er mihou#I just think it'd be neat if they apologized to each other and then cried and hugged about it#(cuz on god they both have some shit they should get off their chests and own up to)#like holy blue hells they're both just like “I think i shall spend my immortal life ruminating on my greatest regret and letting it fester”#everytime i watch the scene where Macaque is like:#“its good to talk about feelings! obv i don't do it”#i turn into the hands on hips guy meme#DUDE GO TO THERAPY#wukong too lets be real#been reading jttw the west (haven't actually gotten to where SEM shows up in the book yet tho)#and i think that if therapy existed back then tripitaka and sha wujing would've been gently but firmly#herding wukong into the local therapist's waiting room in as many towns they pass as possible#he'd probly grab the door frame and have to be literally pried off#these hypothetical ancient-chinese therapists all have claw marks on the hallways and doors going into their offices#hey how about an au where shadowpeach get therapists who end up getting all the monkey drama news first#and end up on the business-rivals-to-drinking-buddies pipeline#stopped while drawing this like “hey why'd i make mac be touching wukong's face in both sketches?”#and then i remembered that between the two mac's the one who wants to be something to the other#to the point of desperation#its like if they're both cats who got coned swk is the one who sits there miserably accepting his fate#while mac is that one video of the tuxedo cat shrieking and trying to paw it off#i'd read the hell out of a fic where they end up swapping attitudes about their dynamic#in canon wukong's the one who seems like he would like to never see mac again (at times) even tho he really regrets it and it hurts#like mac just gives up on trying to convince himself he can make swk see him as a significant part of his life again
