Scenes from The Baby Wars Part One: The First One
[Hibrides never wanted to be a mother (though the concept of childbearing has always occurred to her as 'inevitable and necessary'), underwent very severe post-partum depression, never really bonded with the infant, and was extremely uncomfortable with nursing her (they had a wet nurse who covered most of it).
Brakul ended up being the Designated Housewife throughout Erubi's infancy and was effectively the only member of the household providing parental care, was Extremely bitter with Hibrides for not really wanting anything to do with her daughter (among other things), and was raised in a context where fathers allowing their infants to comfort nurse on them is a standard practice (which is not widely conceptualized as a Thing men can do in the Wardi cultural sphere and comes off as bizarre to the rest of his household).
These combined factors lead to tense standoffs where he looms behind Hibrides trying to guilt her into Feeding The GodDamn Baby while looking, from her perspective, like he's trying his absolute hardest to breastfeed.]
#(Not treating men comfort nursing as a joke here btw I think it's fucking absurd that people get freaked out about it#Completely normal thing to do. Not weird or gross.)#Hibrides bonded with both of her children more when they got older and started walking and talking and being unavoidable but#she's never felt like a mother ''''should'''' and feels a heavy background layer of Gnawing Guilt about it#She was very close with her own mother (who had a pretty good marriage) so a lot of the advice she got was like#that these things take time and patience and a lot of pain but Someday she'll settle in and be happy with her husband and kids and etc#And now she's like 'well I no longer feel like I'm going to fucking hurl with terror when I notice my features in my daughter's faces.#And my husband and I sometimes go on hunting trips alone where we verbally abuse each other in ways that Almost come#full circle into being friendly banter. Is this it. Is this how it's supposed to be. Have I Fucking Made it.'

Hear me out: you can ship JayVik without falling into or using rhetoric that fits the disposable black girlfriend trope. You can ship JayVik without using Mel as some conceived ploy or antagonistic plot device that makes her out of character. You can ship JayVik without falling into misogynistic rhetoric (eg. viewing female characters as disposable or stepping tools, amongst other things). You can ship JayVik without erasing the impact Mel has had on Jayce and their relationship because, whether you shipped it or not or even gave it the time of day, Mel and Jayce did care for each other, and to deny that or say Viktor held more importance/impact than her in Jayce's life to where she's viewed as "unnecessary" just to further your ship is so wrong and, whether you intended for it or not, does carry undertones where black characters, especially black female characters, emotional impact on others is ignored or downplayed even though there's context to support just how important it is/they are. Lastly, you can ship JayVik without using anti-black and misogynoir type rhetoric because the amount that has flooded this fandom, but especially from some fans of this ship, is atrocious. Ship what you like, but be respectful and careful with certain things you say, is all I'm saying.
#arcane#mel medarda#jayce talis#arcane viktor#it's very sad that this still has to be said but no surprising in fandom especially when it comes to m/m ships & a female character#like misogyny (internalized too) becomes rampant but if they are woc then there's and added layer of racism to the mix#since day one mel has been demonized & even if you believe that she used jayce for gain why only hate on her for it & ignore how not only#is this a commom theme in arcane as the show has many questionable morally aligned characters#who don't get as much hate but that also now viktor is in the same shoes as well bc wasn't he manipulating space & time so that jayce always#finds hextech and becomes his partner? acting as if whatever “manipulation” mel did regarding jayce didn't help him move up in society & get#funding#it's also really gross how the fandom and even some of the arcane crew use rhetoric of using female characters as throwaways for this#pairing bc women should not be used as step stools for men's growth than ignored when it's time for them to reflect how they got there#(eg. sky)#this isn't even hate towards jayvik as i don't even mind it but some of the fans of it make it very off-putting#like they're this ships worst enemy sometimes!#jayvik#anti jayvik#but more so in the tags#meljay#kinda...? like it's referred to in the tags and some of the post too ig

Oh, that moment as Sauron/Halbrand smiles slowly, cautiously, shyly, at the world about him, even though he's stranded in a frozen wasteland - because for the first time in centuries he can see, he can hear, he can feel the cold upon his skin, he is truly embodied once more.
This moment of quiet joy, while he's wrapped in the cloak of the woman whom he devoured for these senses, this body.
#It is a MOMENT#Just to be extra gross I'll wager he ate that poor woman from the inside out#(like with the rat)#and that's how he ended up wearing her top most layers#trop spoilers#the rings of power spoilers#halbrand#sauron#charlie vickers#the rings of power#the rings of power 2x01

i don't think we talk enough about how genuinely fucked it was that people called in to vote on a child character's death. like yeah he's fictional but also what the fuck
#i know most voters were kids but even then why would you waste money to do this#it's just so many layers of gross#it happened in the 80s but imagine people today voted off damian#it's just sooooo#people can say they just hated jason because they liked dick better but let's be real#and admit that a lot of it was just classism#jason todd#red hood#robin jason todd#batman#bruce wayne#dc

I’m just…
Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?
She said, "Give me a day or two"
Wishing I could be there for ya
Listennnnn. You don’t want me to do this lol. It’s a CONSTANT theme. I could talk about this for DAYS.
All of Holding on to Heartache? “I called you twice but then regretted it, and changed my number…??!!”
This is a conversation they’ve been having since 1D days, but more pointedly now that they’re solo. HS1? “Even my phone misses your call, by the way.” Fine Line- “it’s hard for me to come home and be so lonely.” Walls- “I cut you off because I didn’t know no better” and basically ALL of Defenceless lol. Don’t even get me started on Faith In The Future.
#there’s so many more#I could write a ducking book#and THATS WHAT I MEAN when I say if they want me to stop thinking they’re together#they should stop writing shit that’s basically A CALL AND RESPONSE in every. single. goddamn. album.#and like#themes of loss and loneliness and regret#and heartbreak and etc etc are such common themes in songs#hell Niall will have/has had some#but it’s just not the same#for every one Harry has#Louis has one as well#they’re intricate and layered and a photograph of their relationship in moments in time#it’s….#well besides being ducking wild#it’s gross is what it is

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.
#metalocalypse#jay talkin#I'm sorry they wrote that awful gross little man far too likeable and relatable to on a trans level#for me not to hoot and holler and cheer for the trans pickles agenda#changes nothing about his character arc or any of the show anyone is capable of being the kind of person he is#don't make the mistake of thinking thats exclusive to cis men#his transness wouldnt change that#only adds on an extra layer to him that i think works fantastically.#Listen that dude was rejected by his family driven to drink and drugs young to escape that ran away to be in a band#is called fucking Pickles of all things and refuses to tell anyone his real last name;#over the span of four seasons and two movies he slowly starts to learn to be for others what he never had#he becomes more caring more supportive#it's not a stretch to say he undoes some of the toxic masculinity he's been keeping himself shielded behind#and learns how to be a kinder man.#all of which have no contradictions with him being trans!#In fact it doesn't take much extra thought to find ways a lot of this can line up with some trans masculine experiences#i mean. Did no one else have a younger phase where they swung as far as they could into crass rude and uncaring ways#to try and assert their masculinity only to grow and realise that you can be a man and be more caring.#Did no one else have father issues. 1 800 come on now i know those are both shared experiences a lot of us have had LOL.#at the end of the day this show aired nearly 20 years ago and is finished. we're not getting more of it#so nothing is altered nor changed if pickles is canonically trans or not ok. its fine#i mean hell i dont even need canon confirmation hes trans to me and thats all i care abt#but i think if yr getting suuuuuper weird abt needing him not to be canonically trans you have some issues#and bio essentialist ideals of gender if you think only a cis man can act like he does#again. anyone can be like that. its not exclusive. him being trans would not change him in any way shape or form lol#AND ALSO GODDDUUUGH for once i love getting to see a guy pushing 50 whos depicted as trans#do you have any idea how dire and barren it is out here. we never get to see a trans guy older than 30 and whos not a pristine model#I WANT MORE OLD SHLUBBY SHITHEAD TRANS GUYS IN MEDIA

finally rewatching 0 and swapping between the dub and the sub to familiarize myself with the entire vibe on this lad and my god.... sometimes i forget just HOW nasty geto gets.
#ooc.#smooches both his cheeks. shoves him down a well#that was part of the reason i hated him after i first watched (chronologically) because it feels like such a fucking#flip 180 shift#and he's like SOOOOOOOOO gross after the fact that i was just like nah fuck this clown ew#eventually i found the nuance but man. MAN#EVEN WITH NUANCE HE'S STILL NASTY. JUST NASTY BUT LAYERED

amateur tip because everyone should know this but i see it even in triple A games so apparently not:
if you're writing a fat character, at the very least make their clothes fit them properly. it always irks me seeing fat characters have their buttons straining on their default outfit, ESPECIALLY on a character that can afford new clothes / has enough money to get them tailored to themselves.
i'm begging you if you're trying to depict your only fat character as a glutton who can't stop eating and keeps busting out of their clothes; don't. fat people deserve to be characters firstly, not a gross caricature. please... please? fuck.
#Bean Text#thinking about how done dirty fat characters are in anything ever#they're either prortrayed as gross / a slob#or (when the rare well-written fat character comes around) they slim down either in a reboot / adaptation or over the course of the story#like oh no! we can't have a fat character in the story! they're not appealing / marketable enough !!!!!!!#bites you. with violence in my mind and soul.#pro tip on writing fat characters: write a character. then when designing their physical form make them fat. you are done#don't make their only trait be 'likes to eat'#make them genuinely funny! make them badass! give them layers to their backstory and personality!#make them kind / good! or make them a genuine threatening villain! hell; make them a brooding morally grey anti hero!#make them have hobbies and interests that aren't just food related!#make them a character!!! fuck!

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.
#i know this is gross simplification bc mizu's relationship to womanhood is quite a few layers of complicated#bc she has never been allowed to be human let alone woman in a society where mixed race is seen as a greater condemnation than womanhood#and a lot of her dressing up as a man is to save herself from the reach of said misogyny which wont let her be addressed as a woman#but sure be dehumanized as one.#but it is funny to think of how homoerotically charged her interactions w taigen are. as opposed to her interactions w women. w akemi.#i have not finished the show yet i've still quite a few eps to go. but god her being mixed race has been so incredibly isolating.#she struggles w intimacy she feels like she has to do everything alone bc who in the world wouldnt hate her? would not turn her in for coin#her easily clockable ethnicity has challenged both her ability to live w womanhood#and be a part of womanhood in a society where women are treated so poorly.#anyway this is a joke post simply to comment on how mizu's chemistry w taigen is as opposed to mizu's chemistry w akemi#i'd beseech you to not take it seriously. like i said. its a gross simplification. and this is a joke post.#im watching blue eye samurai and the art style is pretty cool

someone should make an educational comedy skit where someone is witnessing deers shedding velvet and their tree-scratchposts and accuses a deer of murder
#if you don't know what deers shedding velvet is bassically when growing antlers deers have this fuzzy layer over them called velvet#antler growing does require blood supply and antlers aren't like horns which are more like bones#so when the velvet sheds its pretty bloody and gross looking#more importantly for this idea is that they use trees to help scratch off the velvet leaving the trees looking bloody too#anyway: it does look pretty gross so i'd suggest not looking into it if your sensitive to that#but if you aren't than its a neat nerdy miniature rabbit hole to go down :3

i think its kinda funny that ibis paint is regarded as the Broke Artist App or whatever (as opposed to more mainstream programs like csp or procreate) because its free and because of how popular it is with phone + finger artists while im jusg sitting here having used ibis for a cool eight years on purpose.
like i have an ipad and an apple pencil and all theyre very nice and i absolutely could move to a more powerful program i have the resources to do so but my change averse brain has decided they like it here a lot and im not leaving
#not talking smack on phone and finger artists btw. some of my mutuals use their fingers and their art goes crazy i respect that so much#even when i did use my phone (most of 14 crush was done on a phone!) i still had to use a cheap rubber stylus hahaha#anyway maybe ill try procreate someday but also i hate learning new programs and i like ibis's brushes too much#fingers crossed that they add fully custom brushes someday though#like id love to be one of those artists that makes really cool art with ridiculous shapes and nobody even knows until they tell you#younger artists might not know this but modern ibis is STACKED compared to how it was in 2015#like i remember when clipping layers were first implemented. and they sucked. like they didnt fully go over the lower layer#so it just left a gross tiny outline around the shape#and there wasnt any border or text tools either#and there was a hard cap on layer count depending on your device's storage and the canvas size#modifying brushes wasnt even a thing HAHAHAHAH you just used what you had#anyway okiku reference window unrelated shes just there for something else im working on<3#bri talks#for the record all this is to say i think the smack talk towards ibis is pretty unwarranted#like yeah maybe its not as powerful as a lot of these fancy paid apps but i honestly think its insanely good for being a free program#i think getting rid of the ads costs more now than it did when i paid to get rid of them but i mean#free with ads is still a lot more than csp's ever gonna give you!!!!#(psst. secret from me to you! you wont get any ads if you disable the app's data usage and turn off wifi when you use it)#(alternatively just use airplane mode but you can still get texts and stuff the first way)

I want to die every time I accidentally get smth on my iPad screen and thus have to wipe and absolutely ruin the smoothness that built up over time 😔😔
#youd think having a bunch of smudges would make it worse to draw but#it builds up a layer idk 😭😭😭#when its clean it feels so gross to draw on#like genuinely makes me not want to draw at all

Okay, we're like
actually finally reading Seekers
(and by "reading" I mean listening to the Lost in Translationmon fan audiobook version at work)
We've finished the first chapter and I am tentative about most of it aside from the fact that Loogamon is a little shit and we love that for them.
#sky talks#digimon#digimon seekers#we've been putting seekers off for so long mostly because the inclusion of police in a digimon story is uhhh#look if i'm gonna be real our savers rewatch started out mostly as us wanting to reevaluate that series#because we wanted to see if it held any real commentary on the nature of law enforcement#(to that end i think savers did considering its main villain was enabled by the powers of the government into mass digimon murder)#i really hope i have something positive to say about seekers' relationship to law and law enforcement#but it's too early to say now#like i think at the end of chapter 1 we're supposed to probably feel like the digipolice are kind of inept#but also the scene they were introduced in did me no favors in trusting how this novel will handle them#considering it started off with a “look at how bad the digital world is because of humans!”#compared it to colonialisation#and then introduced us to the digipol taking out the code cracker espimons#it came across in a way that we were supposed to assume that code crackers are to blame for why the layer we've seen sucks so bad#and like yeah loogamon backs that up by talking about discarded cracker digimon but also#from loogamon it doesn't feel as gross as when it's paired with some “really skating around the edges of the law here” shit#idk#we'll have to see

bruabba and fugio are good ships however 80% of the people who post about them are annoying about it. like. same with jotakak and kakyoin stans actually. the way ppl obsess over them and water it down until it's so uwuified and far removed from the source that the characters are just bland and boring. idk where i was going with this
#don't get me wrong i enjoy all 3 ships and i like kakyoin and i like part 5#but the way these things get treated in the fandom is so annoying it's genuinely so annoying#unfortunately a lot of part 5 stans just completely get the characterisation wrong#like bruno isn't an uwu softboy mommy 😭😭😭😭 yes he's a parental figure but he's also like really unhinged and traumatised.#he's a good person but he's fucked up why are we making him into a bland uwu cinnamon roll#same w fugo and giorno.... they both have severe trauma & fugo has anger issues and giorno can be manipulative and cold etc etc#so it's so weird to me when ppl see them as like cutesy softboys DOES THIS MAKE SENSE#also people misunderstand giorno as boring or too similar to jonathan but the whole point is he's a mix of jonathan and dio...#yes he's kind but he will also do almost anything to achieve his goals even if it means people die#he's actually a really interesting character with different layers but people miss it 😭#< obviously it's fine to draw/write cutesy stuff and not focus on character analysis. sometimes u just gotta make it fluffy#but i swear it's like 90% of the content for some of these characters#kakyoin especially holy shit. the like. feminization of kakyoin in the fandom is literally gross at times#when ppl turn him into like a twinky little femboy... come on be so real have you SEEN him#especially when ppl hc him as trans masc and then draw him hyper feminine.... when in canon he's rlly masculine.... guys ☹#<like obviously trans men can be feminine but when ppl make a masculine character super feminine bc of a trans hc. that's. weird
