None of our hands are clean
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangshan#mianmian#The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing#He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

Moiraine tells Siuan that the White Tower has to bend the knee to Rand or he will lose the Last Battle. Moiraine says that Siuan *cannot fail again.* So when Siuan gets couped, when she loses to Elaida, she finds a way not to fail. She becomes a mentor to Rand’s childhood friend and creates a new Tower under that girl’s leadership. She finds the person who can not only lead the Tower, who will not only do whatever it takes to win the Last Battle, but who knows Rand and cares for him as only family can. Who will give and take with him, will ultimately trust him even at his worst, as we do with those we love.
Through this Siuan finally accomplishes her half of her deal with Moiraine. She prepares the Tower to follow Rand. She succeeds.
#I’ve always thought of siuan’s arc as so horribly tragic#she gives up her whole life for something that ultimately fails#she tries so hard and gets rewarded by being smacked down (stilled then oh so weak) and smacked around (literally by gareth bryne)#but this framing of it feels hopeful#it’s the book if you took only the good parts#so I feel like they can 100% do this#siuan sanche#wot season 3 spoilers#wot book spoilers#wheel of time

the owl house has some diabolical parallels via framing of scenes but none make me cry more than plant glyph dead dad vs. light glyph dead dad. what if i was never normal about luz and her dead dads (both biological and non-biological) again
[ID from alt:
Luz drawing a plant glyph in Reaching Out
Luz and Amity watching as they send the flowers into the air with a balloon
Luz touching an inert light glyph in Watching and Dreaming
Luz watching with a tearful smile as she releases the light glyph into the wind. The scene has the exact same framing as the scene in Reaching Out.
End ID.]
#the owl house#luz noceda#manny noceda#papa titan#toh meta#do you understand! she loses her father and comes to a realm where a new father figure watches and adores her#but she doesn't even KNOW until that father figure is dying too. from belos's possession of the isles#which is so reminiscent of an infection or tumor - like the unspecified illness that killed manny#but luz and the titan are still able to say goodbye with smiles on their faces and the utmost mutual gratitude#for having each other in their lives and speaking the language of the glyphs together#wherein the titan saved luz's life and luz saved king so many times when the titan couldn't be there to do so#but also! none of that could've happened if manny hadn't gifted luz with the good witch azura!#i KNOW the crew repeated this framing on purpose.#listen. the flowers and the glyph both drift up to the sky and out of our view#which is the same direction the titan's spirit flies after leaving luz's body#the show is deliberately agnostic about the afterlife and that is to its objective benefit#given that the villain is explicitly motivated by his belief in heaven and hell#but the memorials to manny and to the titan both go to the same metaphorical place that the titan's spirit went!#and THAT is so fucking meaningful!#watching and dreaming is the episode of all time and luz is the character of all time#and i don't care what anyone else says

Guess we’re homeless now :(
Take two of this post because the last one didn’t loop properly and it bothered me.
#Also making this literally took ten years off my life since the quality would tank every time I tried to export it#i ended up just screen recording the frames and using another software to convert it to a gif#but oh my god did it cause such a headache#this is what dream buzzing his head does to people 😔#if it still doesn’t work im gonna krill myself#dreamwastaken#dream

⛓️🖤 little bratty bunny 🖤⛓️
#i decided to wear a cunty little outfit under my clothes today so enjoy c:#i have a potato sack of a sweater over this which Really changes the vibe admittedly#i will try to get a picture later cause its actually a little comical to me how different this outfit is w/ vs w/o the sweater#this tattoo was also the best decision i ever made in my life & i am so proud of myself for coming up with it still#also maybe this is weird but so like i was using my arms to kinfa lift myself in the stall to be in frame (hence the no arms)#and i really. like how my shoulders look bc of kt ahdkfkwjskf#the ball-joint socket looks so obvious like you could just. tear my arm out of the socket. 🥴#ANYWAY#femme dyke#femme4all#femme bait#butch bait#dyke bait#bunnyflesh#ok to rb#femme brat

With us having two episodes in the season left and the heavy implication from Vivziepop that some huge ark will be closed and the season will eventually make a full circle, I'm wondering if we're getting a Stolitz treat rather soon, maybe as soon as the NEXT episode.
Is it time to call me delusional yet? What do you think?
#yes I'm aware this is borderline shitpost but who cares#I don't#my bet is between Mastermind and Sinsmas#mainly because the biggest ark is stolitz and for Stolas to remain in the frame he has to keep playing role in Blitz's life#but something in me thinks it might be even Mastermind#because we will need to somehow develop and setup season 3 issues and we still have tons to cover#stolitz#helluva boss#stolas x blitz#blitz x stolas#akira's throwing shit on the walls

Culture Shock
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xiao xingchen#xue yang#a-qing#As I sit here and type out my thoughts I realize that the last panel looks like A-Qing is crushing XY's candy...oops.#she's supposed to be crunching her *own* wrapper for dramatic effect. XY's candy is still in XXC's hand.#Hes still standing there. 180 degrees out of frame. Which is where your heart is! MEANING: XXC is in your heart right now#holding out a little piece of candy that has yet to be taken.#This comic was so close to being on the chopping block. Honestly I'm still not sure I should have kept it in#but I liked this scene a lot*** and tbh the yi-city arc isn't around for much longer. Let them have fun while it lasts.#not to mention I have few opportunities to build up spanish speaking XXC. And we are close to the pay off.#XY is in his 'oh god I need to start learning the basics of this language or I will drown' phases. Lets see how well he does!#***The candy represents so much! It's a symbol of unobtainability! Of comfort and status! Both A-qing and XY crave candy as much as they-#-crave those 'unobtainables'! XY has money to by candy (part of status) but he lacks love and comfort is his life!#So XXC offering them this little piece of candy is more than just a treat! It's a piece of love!#But as sweet as candy is....it cannot last....#(this also makes the scene where XY disrupts A-Qing's comfort by offering candy very interesting to analyze)

tbh if you worry about people secretly disliking or being annoyed by you despite reassurance to the contrary AND you are someone who says "no worries" or "its okay" when there are worries and it isn't okay, those two things are extremely correlated. idk enough about the human brain to claim a causal relationship but just from personal experience it is much easier to accept that other people aren't just placating you and mean what they say if you yourself stop responding to everything with platitudes you don't mean just to avoid conflict. btw the easiest way to stop doing this is not to have the awareness in the moment that's what you're doing (that will come with time and practice) but rather later when you're annoyed and justifying to yourself why they should Just Know it's not okay because of xyz subtle social cues, you have to stop yourself then. and you have to recognize that that's a deeply unfair way to treat someone. and if you aren't able, for whatever reason, to reach out to them and say "hey i know i said everything was fine but it really isn't and i would like something to change", then at the VERY LEAST you MUST be able to say "well I told them it's okay so until such time as I am ready to retract that and discuss this openly, it will have to be okay". this goes quadruple if someone's behaviour is annoying you and you're acting annoyed but when asked directly you go "haha no its fine!" like idc what cues you're using it will never be enough to counter that you directly told them that behaviour is fine with you. it is unfair and cruel to enforce boundaries you never communicated. you cannot tell people how much you love being a doormat and then get mad when they walk over you. and going back to the original point of this post, you will NEVERRR believe that others mean what they say if you never mean what you say. i know we're all just joking around but mentalities like "[throwing up blood angrier than ive ever been in my life] haha sounds good!!" are poisoning you they are ruining your relationships. conflict avoidance is so alluring but all it ever breeds is resentment. if you tell someone there's nothing to worry about, that is how they will act. and that's how they SHOULD act. if you say everything's fine when it isn't, YOU are the one in the wrong, YOU are the one who isn't communicating effectively enough, and the onus is on YOU to fix it or live with it. if you ever ever ever want to believe that people mean what they say, you have to start by meaning what YOU say.
#good idea generator#the other thing is like. if youre constantly making social calculations to see if anyones annoyed by you#that framing makes you think its Your Fault if someone is annoyed. bc you didnt detect it good enough#which then leads you to expect others to detect (without being told) when you are annoyed and inevitably resentful when they dont or cant#however if you say what you mean. and someone else is still expecting this secret cue detection. well thats their problem#it frees you. and it helps you see that when you are annoyed it is YOUR responsibility to say so#(or frankly more often. to just accept that sometimes in life you will be annoyed)#when im annoyed and/or afraid of being annoying i always think of that post thats like:#'maybe you werent annoying. maybe they were just annoyed' such a good post genuinely changed my life#because like. you are not responsible for the emotional states of others. and conversely others are not responsible for yours!!#maybe they arent annoying. maybe you are just annoyed.
