#justice for vanessa

We all know Vanny's design for the pirate au (old art):

But I changed how I draw her and I did a quick sketch of Vanessa from the pirate au:

I love her 🥺

The 30 celebrities whose legs I would lick, toes I would suck on, and heels I would sniff.

Okay okay but I’m right okay?

Also here’s different concepts related to the games and not the movie that I drew up at work yesterday as I was killing time before we watched the movie :))

Random stuff:

Despite Gregory Edgeworth being Henry, he’s the one to die in the Bite of 83 bc DL-6. Apollo is FNAF Gregory bc they both have the same big staring eyes and Apollo already has a bracelet. Phoenix is a wolf but is also based on the Blue Badger. Instead of William’s fursona (haha) being a rabbit, Von Karma’s is a German Shepherd. Diego is a lion, and Godot is Glamrock Diego. Franziska is Circus Baby, but also accidentally kinda looks like Pomni (I still need to watch TADC). The Feys are rabbits mainly because Pearl’s hair reminds me of a little bunny (ironically enough, I didn’t draw her). Miles fits Scooped Michael way too well, but also my brother said he fits Michael because you have to go in an elevator in Sister Location (also he’s terrified of the power going out)

HAD US DALE STANS DISTRESSEDDDD😫😫

+ More after the cut💋

I’ll admit tho it was sus with the spiders escaping but i gave my girl the benefit of the doubt BUT this scene gave ominous for no reason?!?? Like what do you mean by that😟??

Also i fully subscribe to the idea that Vanessa lost whatever feelings (if any😹) she had for Errol after seeing Warren. I KNOW SHE WAS BLUSHING WHEN SHE SAW HIM I JUST KNOW IT. Girl left him for dead the moment he started becoming baggage NOT EVEN A TEAR WAS SHED OR A GLANCE SPARED!

To sum things up: VANESSA SANTARO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS IN THIS HOUSEHOLD AND DALE BURGESS DESERVES THE WORLD!!💞💞💞💞

Started watching Yellowjackets and since I'm so late to the part I'm pretty sure my theories have already been mentioned by someone else.

With Travis and Nat dying, and Van having terminal cancer I'm preparing for them all to be dead by the time the shows over.

It also makes me wonder if they will all die before we get to see how they were rescued. From a storytelling standpoint, it would work pretty well. We, the viewer, do not get to see how they were rescued from the wilderness until after they all died.

Or, if they never showed us. They never truly got to leave, it haunted them for the rest of their lives so they never truly escaped.

I'd like to think they wouldn't all die, but given that this is very obviously a tragedy, I don't really expect them all to survive the show, and based on that, I think that ought to determine the execution of how they reveal the rescue/escape from the wilderness.

Spoilers Ending of Penny Dreadful (I know I'm not the only one who never watched it/forgot all about it)

Behhhh I expected Vanessa to die, but I didn't expected a replay of GoT season 8 🤢 Wtf with this trend of "good guys" who murder the (feminist) women they love to "free them from their own self" ?! Oh wait I think I know where it comes from, it's a name starting with m and ending with y... 💀

And did she even give in to Dracula at all, or did she just pretend, waiting for her knight in shiny armor to save her with a bullet in her heart ? Talk about a knight in shiny armor btw... "I will protect you" BITCH YOU LEFT HER ALL ALONE IN THIS BIG HOUSE because you wanted to ease your conscience, how was that protecting her ?!

He was the one who was supposed to save the world by killing a suicidal woman. Ah right, awesome. And so brave...

@apoloadonisandnarcissus thank you for warning me that this ending, indeed, sucked. At least I wasn't caught by surprise... I didn't mean her to end with Dracula because of course it was the fight good vs evil where good had to win at the end, but I hate how it was done.

And it feels like all the characters of this show that I loved lost had a miserable and unfair ending: Vanessa died murdered by #nice guy because God forbid she allowed herself to be who she was, Brona ended up wherever after two selfish men ruined her plans, John Clare lost his son shortly after they rejoined and also lost his wife in the process because she wanted Frankenstein to resurrect him...

Meanwhile the characters I can't stand will live and get to be happy again. Frankenstein especially grrrrr I'm pissed 😡

This show isn't going to reconcile me with catholicism lmao

[shiningstarr15]

I need to sit down at some point and actually finalize a design for GGY

[puhpandas]

They’re looking for an adult Abby too… so obviously the third movie’s gonna be about or feature adult Abby. Let’s pack it up, there is no easter bunny no tooth fairy and no movie Cassie or movie Gregory 😔

DAMN do u have a source for this?? i mean obviously it makes sense bc fnaf 3 takes place in like 2020 or something but still thats crazy. i guess theyll be recasting abby in fnaf 2 then since she'll be about 5 years older than pipers actual age?

also ill keep that copium going idc they still have a 14yo character and casting for middle school teachers and middle schoolers im hoping until i cant no more

also the actual megamind quote is funny because he says "there is no queen of england" when there definitely was so. maybe youre manifesting it to be real

Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic:

In April 2020, Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood, in Texas. The killer, aided by his girlfriend, burned Guillén’s body. Guillén’s remains were discovered two months later, buried in a riverbank near the base, after a massive search.

Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, grew up in Houston, and her murder sparked outrage across Texas and beyond. Fort Hood had become known as a particularly perilous assignment for female soldiers, and members of Congress took up the cause of reform. Shortly after her remains were discovered, President Donald Trump himself invited the Guillén family to the White House. With Guillén’s mother seated beside him, Trump spent 25 minutes with the family as television cameras recorded the scene. In the meeting, Trump maintained a dignified posture and expressed sympathy to Guillén’s mother. “I saw what happened to your daughter Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military,” Trump said. Later in the conversation, he made a promise: “If I can help you out with the funeral, I’ll help—I’ll help you with that,” he said. “I’ll help you out. Financially, I’ll help you.”

Natalie Khawam, the family’s attorney, responded, “I think the military will be paying—taking care of it.” Trump replied, “Good. They’ll do a military. That’s good. If you need help, I’ll help you out.” Later, a reporter covering the meeting asked Trump, “Have you offered to do that for other families before?” Trump responded, “I have. I have. Personally. I have to do it personally. I can’t do it through government.” The reporter then asked: “So you’ve written checks to help for other families before this?” Trump turned to the family, still present, and said, “I have, I have, because some families need help … Maybe you don’t need help, from a financial standpoint. I have no idea what—I just think it’s a horrific thing that happened. And if you did need help, I’m going to—I’ll be there to help you.” A public memorial service was held in Houston two weeks after the White House meeting. It was followed by a private funeral and burial in a local cemetery, attended by, among others, the mayor of Houston and the city’s police chief. Highways were shut down, and mourners lined the streets.

Five months later, the secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, announced the results of an investigation. McCarthy cited numerous “leadership failures” at Fort Hood and relieved or suspended several officers, including the base’s commanding general. In a press conference, McCarthy said that the murder “shocked our conscience” and “forced us to take a critical look at our systems, our policies, and ourselves.” According to a person close to Trump at the time, the president was agitated by McCarthy’s comments and raised questions about the severity of the punishments dispensed to senior officers and noncommissioned officers.

In an Oval Office meeting on December 4, 2020, officials gathered to discuss a separate national-security issue. Toward the end of the discussion, Trump asked for an update on the McCarthy investigation. Christopher Miller, the acting secretary of defense (Trump had fired his predecessor, Mark Esper, three weeks earlier, writing in a tweet, “Mark Esper has been terminated”), was in attendance, along with Miller’s chief of staff, Kash Patel. At a certain point, according to two people present at the meeting, Trump asked, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?” According to attendees, and to contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by a participant, an aide answered: Yes, we received a bill; the funeral cost $60,000.

Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.” Khawam, the family attorney, told me she sent the bill to the White House, but no money was ever received by the family from Trump. Some of the costs, Khawam said, were covered by the Army (which offered, she said, to allow Guillén to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery) and some were covered by donations. Ultimately, Guillén was buried in Houston.

Shortly after I emailed a series of questions to a Trump spokesperson, Alex Pfeiffer, I received an email from Khawam, who asked me to publish a statement from Mayra Guillén, Vanessa’s sister. Pfeiffer then emailed me the same statement. “I am beyond grateful for all the support President Donald Trump showed our family during a trying time,” the statement reads. “I witnessed firsthand how President Trump honors our nation’s heroes’ service. We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.”

Pfeiffer told me that he did not write that statement, and emailed me a series of denials. Regarding Trump’s “fucking Mexican” comment, Pfeiffer wrote: “President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election.” He provided statements from Patel and a spokesman for Meadows, who denied having heard Trump make the statement. Via Pfeiffer, Meadows’s spokesman also denied that Trump had ordered Meadows not to pay for the funeral. The statement from Patel that Pfeiffer sent me said: “As someone who was present in the room with President Trump, he strongly urged that Spc. Vanessa Guillen’s grieving family should not have to bear the cost of any funeral arrangements, even offering to personally pay himself in order to honor her life and sacrifice. In addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring ‘in the line of duty,’ which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance.”

The personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillén funeral—contempt, rage, parsimony, racism—hardly surprised his inner circle. Trump has frequently voiced his disdain for those who serve in the military and for their devotion to duty, honor, and sacrifice. Former generals who have worked for Trump say that the sole military virtue he prizes is obedience. As his presidency drew to a close, and in the years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship, and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver. “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had,” Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this. “People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.” (“This is absolutely false,” Pfeiffer wrote in an email. “President Trump never said this.”) A desire to force U.S. military leaders to be obedient to him and not the Constitution is one of the constant themes of Trump’s military-related discourse. Former officials have also cited other recurring themes: his denigration of military service, his ignorance of the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, his admiration for brutality and anti-democratic norms of behavior, and his contempt for wounded veterans and for soldiers who fell in battle.

[...] Trump has often expressed his esteem for the type of power wielded by such autocrats as the Chinese leader Xi Jinping; his admiration, even jealousy, of Vladimir Putin is well known. In recent days, he has signaled that, should he win reelection in November, he would like to govern in the manner of these dictators—he has said explicitly that he would like to be a dictator for a day on his first day back in the White House—and he has threatened to, among other things, unleash the military on “radical-left lunatics.” (One of his four former national security advisers, John Bolton, wrote in his memoir, “It is a close contest between Putin and Xi Jinping who would be happiest to see Trump back in office.”)

Military leaders have condemned Trump for possessing autocratic tendencies. At his retirement ceremony last year, Milley said, “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator … We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.” Over the past several years, Milley has privately told several interlocutors that he believed Trump to be a fascist. Many other leaders have also been shocked by Trump’s desire for revenge against his domestic critics. At the height of the Floyd protests, Mattis wrote, “When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens.”

Trump’s frustration with American military leaders led him to disparage them regularly. In their book A Very Stable Genius, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, both of The Washington Post, reported that in 2017, during a meeting at the Pentagon, Trump screamed at a group of generals: “I wouldn’t go to war with you people. You’re a bunch of dopes and babies.” And in his book Rage, Bob Woodward reported that Trump complained that “my fucking generals are a bunch of pussies. They care more about their alliances than they do about trade deals.”

Trump’s disdain for American military officers is motivated in part by their willingness to accept low salaries. Once, after a White House briefing given by the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, Trump said to aides, “That guy is smart. Why did he join the military?” (On another occasion, John Kelly asked Trump to guess Dunford’s annual salary. The president’s answer: $5 million. Dunford’s actual salary was less than $200,000.) Trump has often expressed his love for the trappings of martial power, demanding of his aides that they stage the sort of armor-heavy parades foreign to American tradition. Civilian aides and generals alike pushed back. In one instance, Air Force General Paul Selva, who was then serving as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the president that he had been partially raised in Portugal, which, he explained, “was a dictatorship—and parades were about showing the people who had the guns. In America, we don’t do that. It’s not who we are.”

The Atlantic released the story of Donald Trump musing about having the same kind of generals that Hitler had and complained about paying $60,000 for “a fucking Mexican”’s funeral (Vanessa Guillén).

This man is a sick monster devoid of any empathy.
