#its tumblr what did you expect

[art-from-within]

I am really interested in scenarios where now grown up cult leader Mohg meets Hoarah Loux. Have they met before? Maybe, maybe not. But regardless I like to imagine that Mohg hates his guts (His legendary father is the strength behind an order he despises so it makes sense) but that what ever opinion he thinks his father has of him in return is inflated.

Like imagine, for whatever reason, Godfrey shows up before our tarnished, at the foot of his empire. His very being sends Mohg to red mode and they fight. He probably expects the typical omen killer/golder order fanatic type monologues from his father... But the whole time his father confuses him by admiring his wings or power, telling him that he has "come far", that the crown is warranted by strength and that he indeed does have what it takes. Then when his legendary father is engulfed in blood lust, he begrudgingly for a SINGLE moment, sees his father through the fear stricken gawking eyes of the lands between and not a neglected son. That single moment of awe inspiring terror anyone would feel seeing Hoarah Loux covered in red....There was a 'lord of blood' before him, and it was definitely Hoarah Loux.

it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that

Late to the game as I’ve kinda been kinda non-here for a minute but I scrolled through the Dot and Bubble tag, and thought I wanted to write this post into existence.

There's this part in Doctor Who Unleashed where RTD says this:

“What we can’t tell is how many people will have worked that out before the ending. Because they’ve seen white person after white person after white person, and television these days is very diverse. I wonder, will you be ten minutes into it, will you be fifteen, will you be twenty, before you start to think, everyone in this community is white. And if you don’t think that ��� why didn’t you? So, that’s gonna be interesting. I hope it’s one of those pieces of television you see, and always remember.”

And I'm like. Yeah. But the reason this works even as well as it does is largely thanks to the work of the previous showrunner with the previous creative team, which was notably the first era to have any writers of color (amongst other firsts in terms of inclusivity in directors, composer, actors). While Chibnall fumbled whenever he tried to write about race himself, he did have the self-awareness to have Black and South Asian writers writing the episodes where race is the focus (and a female writer for the episode where sexism is a focus; my point is, he seemed to know his shortcomings).

I wonder what the current creative team looks like? (not really, but I wasn't 100% sure for all of them)

To quote RTD:

“...before you start to think, everyone in this community is white.”

This is pretty non-self-aware, right? It's pretty “It is said, and I understand this, there was a history of racism with the original Toymaker, the Celestial Toymaker, who had ‘celestial,’ and I did not know this, but ‘celestial’ can mean of Chinese origin, but in a derogatory way,” right? (from The Giggle Unleashed) It's pretty “and I had problems with that, and a lot of us on the production team had problems with that: associating disability with evil,” right? (from Destination Skaro Unleashed)

—none of which are issues that should be overlooked, but think how much exponentially better they might’ve been addressed if he’d consulted with Chinese writers and wheelchair-using writers before going straight to giving the Toymaker weird fake accents and making Davros walk?

How many Black or non-white people do we think saw the Dot and Bubble script before it landed in Ncuti’s hands?

And this just keeps happening.

And like, from some of the shocked responses I've seen from white viewers to the ending of Dot and Bubble, maybe the episode's unsubtlety was needed? From the way RTD talks about it in Unleashed, the episode was written with a white audience in mind, Baby's First Microaggressions (where of course the microaggressions come from people who are pretty self-admittedly white supremacists). Ricky September, a more seemingly normal depiction of someone in the racist bubble of Finetime, seemed like an interesting element, up until the way he died.

The ending worked for me, because I do think the Doctor's reaction is true to how the Doctor would react. I just keep thinking of how much better the core themes could've been handled by someone with actual lived experience on the subject matter.

i want desperately for you guys to know that this is how swanatello was born. he was designed and drawn in a span of approximately 30 minutes at work and made originally with the only intention being "pun." thanks @actuallynobutwhynot for getting me to make him lmao i gotta draw him and your sona together sometime.

[sophiethewitch1]

Spoiler? Yes,please. 👀👀👀💕

Wasn't sure what you guys wanted, so here's like a small snippet of chapter 2. If you have want like,,, important spoilers or something just lemme know. I will happily reveal the plot of this entire stupid thing because I'm very in love with it. Girl failure reader versus the world

I think about that tiktok trend where you like paint your partners eye color on your nails or make a bracelet or something with the color a lot actually

[strawberrycamel]

i am so. fucking angry.

[orcelito]

ok i am actually so very angry and there's literally nothing i can do to fix it. life keeps going on. she might even be happy. and fuck dude, i'll make sure im happy too, i was a fully developed person before she was in my life and i'll continue to be one without her. but God Damn, the fact that she can just do something so blatantly awful and unfair to me and then run off without any actual repercussions is just so fucking rankling to me.

like perhaps she feels guilty. she said she did when it was all going down. but it was just something she "needed to do". so obviously she didn't feel guilty enough or she wouldnt have done it like that lmaoooo

i really did deserve to have a good solid yell at her. but unfortunately, by the time i did see her in person i just wanted her out of my fucking life. so. no yelling was done, unfortunately.

[a-disaster-gay]

Honestly sick of the trend of people bitching and complaining about other users commenting on their posts!! This is the adding your thoughts to the posts website!! That's literally one of rhe major core features of the site!!!! You don't like it then leave like ????

Yall would never have survived the era where we could edit other people's posts lol. Old man yells at cloud or whatever but like, that's how this site functions

[always-a-joyful-note]

Wataru as Sanzo and and Hokuto as Goku is from a Dramatica play based on Journey to the West!

????????????

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, sorry, I'm speechless. I love Journey to the West??? I just did a quick search and found those are apparently the JP names for Tang Sanzang/Tripitaka and Sun Wukong. That's SO wild...

I mean this is a random note but I did read Tempest Night (love that it was basically an exhortation to Anzu and Eichi and if we're being generous the player to not overwork themselves to death) and I just really love ALL the references to classical works. I know it's a thing a lot of anime does but Enstars really does it liberally. First a lot of Shakespeare, then some philosophers whose names escape me, pretty sure they've (mis)quoted the Bible and other religious texts, and we can't not mention Kaguya-hime, and now we have Journey to the West?

Thank you for the information, first of all! And secondly, I will use this to pretend that I knew something drew me to Enstars as a whole. Liberal and sometimes questionable use of historical humanities texts, as usual.
