Just my thoughts…
When Crystal & Charles are walking, she’s still has her mean girl defenses up and after insulting him, he laughs it off. Even after telling him she’s purposely being mean, it doesn’t phase him and that throws her off. Crystals mean girl persona is a defense mechanism to protect herself and keep others at arm length. That doesn’t dissuade Charles & eventually Edwin and can be argue the beginning of her character growth.
At the end and after she she regains her memories, Crystal realizes with the help of Jenny’s knowledge drop that she can’t run away and to reconcile who she was in the past, she has to accept it to continue her personal growth and surprisingly tells Charles it's because of them. Tbh I was curious how Crystal was going to be compared to the comics and I enjoyed this version of her.
Charle's backstory with his father, wasn't in the comics and was interesting that he deals with it is the exact opposite of Crystal's method. He's a fixer and wants & keeps everyone around them happy and his use of that as a coping mechanism is heartbreaking and sad.
Them calling each other out holding the other accountable helps with their character growth and tbh their friendship.
I could go into Edwin character growth but I've had a soft spot for him since I started reading the comics and I will start rambling.
I've loved the comics for years and tbh I appreciate the show's display of having loving friendship between all the characters which unfortunately you don't see often or people are uncomfortable talking about...
I've rambled on enough...go read the comics and watch the show.

”A Dance With Toro”
Fighting a “meat-eating bull” is pretty metal.
Once again showing that I'm a person who draws the dinosaurs better than the characters lol.
Timelapse undercut:
Song used Distant Past by Everything Everything. (Oops the video is longer than the song so sorry for the silence for the last minute or so lol.)
#camp cretaceous#Jwcc ben#ben pincus#Jwcc toro#I struggled more than I should’ve with the lighting#Brave is a really good episode. Tied with The Long Run.#You're telling me this scrawny wild child grows up to be called a babygirl in the fandom??? /j /lh#I don't care if he talks about it too much. I would also brag the HELL out of fighting a carnotaurus and winning (with some help).#You have no idea how much I was chewing at the bars of my enclosure cause I wish I had my iPad so I could#Work on it during my lunch break#Sorry if the blood doesn’t look good. Haven’t drawn blood since uhhh middle school? Lol#My coworkers watching me scribble Toro in my sketchbook aggressively like the “wtf is this kid doing” meme#AL’s scribblings of Nublar

A snippet from a future fic I'll probably never write, where Steve is a widower with two teenage kids, and he and Eddie randomly meet up, rekindling their old flame. This is when they've been together a while:
“Thank you,” Steve says, coming up behind Eddie at the bathroom sink.
Eddie pauses, catching Steve's eye in the mirror. “What for?” he asks, mouth foamy with toothpaste.
Steve slips his hands along Eddie's hips, hooks his chin over Eddie's shoulder. “For loving my kids.”
“You don't—” Toothpaste dribbles down Eddie's chin and he stoops to spit what's left in his mouth into the sink, gathering his hair to one side. He rinses his mouth out, wipes his face with a towel, then turns to Steve. “You don't have to thank me for that. Of course I love them.”
“Not everyone I've dated has.”
“They're idiots.” Eddie grabs the hem of Steve's shirt, pulling him close. “I mean, first of all, they're part of you, and I don't think I could love you and not love them. But...” He trails off, a small smile tilting his lips. “They're amazing kids.”
Pride swells in Steve's chest; he slides his arms around Eddie's waist and says, “They are.”
“And I'm pretty damn honored I get to be part of their lives,” Eddie says, “so thank you,” and he butts his head gently against Steve's.
Steve huffs and slides his hands up Eddie's back, pulling him into a tight embrace. “I love you.” He presses a kiss to Eddie's neck.
“I love you too.”
“And they both love you as well.”
Eddie lets out a shuddering breath. Steve knows how nervous Eddie was, when they started dating, that he wouldn't be welcomed, but it's almost like he's always been part of their family now. “Good to know,"”Eddie says.
Steve holds Eddie a little tighter. All those years ago, back in Hawkins, when they ended things, Steve thought he'd never see Eddie again. But here they are, together—a family—and Steve's never letting him go this time.
#Steddie#Steve x eddie#Steddie fic#Steddie fanfic#this is soooooo sappy I’m sorry 😫#anyway I don’t have names for Steve’s kids yet lol#but his son is bi too#his daughter is more like him otherwise though#also Steve takes a while to accept his sexuality so he’s only just come out to his kids because I like stories like that#even though I know some ppl in this fandom have found them offensive??#but yeah when he comes out his son gets upset because he then feels like he can’t come out without it being weird haha#and Steve is like what??? no??? when he eventually tells him#(I watched a lot of soap operas growing up :P sometimes it comes out in my writing lol)#that’s why I’ll probably never write this fic but it’s fun to dabble in the verse#pizzaqueenfic#pizzaqueenwrites#tsofverse

It is kinda funny seeing people talk about Seungmin lately because he definitely has gotten more bold and confident for sure. He's also just getting opportunities to be perceived as an individual on his own as well for the first time in a while but it's still jarring to see people be like Aw he was always such a quiet goodie two shoes little nerd and it's like...... he was the one to leave and seek out his own vocal coach and blatantly talk about it, which of course lead to I.N and Lee Know also doing the same, he was the one to go on bubble and tell off sasaengs who used to camp outside their old dorm for invading members privacy but also because it effected other residents and staff at the complex, something that i'm certain upper management wouldnt have been happy about, and he wasn't curt or nice about it either. like he's never actually been a wallflower, he's always had a pretty strong backbone and seems to stick to his principals, its not really new.
#even silly shit like bringing up drinking even tho staff has clearly told him not too#like yeah its silly but its still sticking to his guns of being like we arent actually children anymore thanks#the food thing too like in an old 2 kids room he said something about not being able to eat on his bday bc they were filming so evidently#there was a moment in time when he caved to the shitty diet obsession kpop had but ever since hes never really said anything like it again#instead hes telling everyone to eat well and reminding people to have dinner or lunch every other day#even the comment about growing his hair out but then being like lol the stylist probably wont like me saying that or whatever#and like the yeah im going to the gym but im not lifting. dont expect me to bulk up. im doing it for stamina<< that made me cackle#bc i did see people on twt being like but what if seungmin got buff tho omg hed be so hot 🥺 Well him bein buff isnt what this is about#so he went and made sure people were realistic. not everyone needs to be noticeably cut yk#idk maybe bc i watched most all the skz content all the way through#and now i go back and gif stuff i notice patterns more easily than if youve been here for longer and havent watched older stuff#for a while- maybe? idk its just funny but i also see takes a lot and have to stop myself from going No <3#anyway this is my obligatory insane ksm tangent of the week. see you in 5 minutes.#🐶

day 6 for @shinakazami1's rhacktober: childhood friends?! :D
jack is using his popular kid charm to get those business cards in circulation.
#i like the idea of rhys being shorter when hes young c: it was so hard to watch ppl get taller than me when i was growing up lol#^ from before i had a minor mental breakdown over art LOL#from after:#omg i thought i could draw them young but jack looks freshly hatched from the womb#and rhys looks like he might be a grand total of 1 year younger#IDK D: i tried#i can't let go of adult proportions they're my comfort character#i had fun tweaking their designs though! i figure you're not gonna hit the pomade super hard in school#so i went for looser hairstyles#and put rhys in a douchey polo because that seems like a fair intersection between goofass and young entrepreneur XD#they just ended up both looking like rich kids#the great and mighty legato suckart#im too shy to tag this i have a problem honestly#rhack

i dont watch a lot of shows, but its been a while since i saw such an emotionally charged confrontation in a bl show. i believe great acting can elevate any confrontation scene (even if the conflict was contrived) but uh here, we knew this all along. we knew the pain was coming, i did, it was delicious, and braced for impact but i still am in shambles. wei lili packing random packets of food from the house for yuan, unable to focus on eating when yuan sits with that face, getting him to pass stuff just to talk to him. a resounding 'tell me, what's wrong?'. never have siblings been so real lol. also, i deeply appreciate the character of Sanpang, cause i think he's supposed to be the reflection of society, but in a far more gentler, loving way for he actually does care for both of them. lol he himself doesn't know 'what's wrong' exactly, just that something should be cause yk it's Wei Qian. also, he's far more nicer than in the novel i've heard. and not homophobic at the very least.
#unknown the series#chris chiu#kurt huang#i dont know how to write it cause its too big for me to articulate but family dynamics in this show is#so fricking well put together and evocative#i've seen roles like wei qian or specifically 'da ge' the 'big brother' in so many movies i've watched as a kid#in my own language ofcourse#trauma ridden families where due to one or the other reason responsibilities fall to the oldest sibling before they're even done growing up#who's usually not even that apart in age with the rest of the siblings#but suddenly they're not just a sibling but a mother and father too as situation demands#like lili says at some point (not yet aired)#we have an exact word for 'da ge' in my language too lol#that also literally translates to 'big brother' in english#so i find it really easy to relate to qian#in a way that makes me feel way too much stuff#thingamabob#aa mine

I love how, even with how goofy and silly and immature MK can sometimes be, he's still a really clever character that's good at putting things together, especially in ways that the others might not think about. Being a little unserious and jocular and excitable are not inherently bad things, and they are not things that automatically mean that someone is stupid, no matter how distractable or fun-loving they might seem.
He's also very aware of his shortcomings, and is learning how to cope with his problems. I do like how they have it so far to where MK isn't getting over his problems right away, and acknowledging that sometimes things are just gonna... stick. It's a part of you, and it may stay that way for a long time. But it's livable, once you figure out how. You can even make it work for you. Take that same energy, turn it on its head, and put it towards something else. Not just coping with a problem, but learning ways to redirect it. It's really nice that this is out there, and that kids can see it. Whether or not all of them will pick up on the lessons is another matter; but I think that that some of them can, and have the opportunity to, is important.
#Neg watches Monkie Kid#lego monkie kid#mostly talking out of my ass again about things that I personally never take to heart; or at least cannot seem to#but I think that it's good that something like this exists#MK is a wonderful character also; he's just so Good#easy to relate to and entertaining; which makes him being a vehicle for lessons like this pretty valuable imo#plus being a lil enthusiastic; easy to distract; prone to overthinking (or not thinking enough) and presented as a kind-hearted protagonist#is a Good Thing actually; as I said before; it's important for people to know that these traits are actually neutral#and often have no bearing on either the kind of person someone is; or their level of intelligence#also that kids who are Like MK in some way can see themselves in him#also flawed protagonists that are acknowledged as flawed; and the acknowledgement that some flaws you can't overcome entirely#nor should you entirely try; bc at some point you're just beating yourself up#and instead learn to better manage these issues and live with them#idk I just. it's a deeply silly show with a deeply loving heart ig?? lotta emotional maturity goin on here#as well as watching the protag grow in real time in ways that are more readily relatable to a real person-#despite the fantastical circumstances lol

remind me to never look in comments of yt videos where the parent blatantly mistreats their kid i forgot they all attract each other
#meows#watched a video about cringe gender reveal parties and on one of them the couple’s kid was supposed to pop the gender balloon#but she started crying because she got overwhelmed i guess. supposedly ruined that shit ass party. and the mum hit her#and i was like oh my god that poor kid. and made the mistake of looking up that video to see if anyone had the same view#but nope it was full of people calling the kid a brat and praising the mother. and i was like oh of course it’s a gender reveal video#i hope your kid grows up hating you and going no contact lol

[240210 pdx vs. sea] the portland winterhawks congratulate goaltender jan špunar after a win. špunar recently returned to the ice after an injury that took him out of commission for over two months; in the three games since his return, he has gone 3-0-0 while allowing just a single goal in each outing. špunar leads all whl goaltenders in gaa (1.70) and sv% (.934).
#jan špunar#portland winterhawks#whl#hockey#goalie hugs#meg.whl#meg.gif#meg.all#anyway i don't talk about these guys too much on here but they ARE my kids.#i've raised them myself. i watch every game. i feel deeply attached to this year's team.#i was like.... actually i AM going to force the dash to perceive these kids hugging their goalie...#like u don't understand. their 20 year olds i feel like i have watched grow up!! i feel so emotional about them aging out lol#also of note: first gif is luca cagnoni. defenseman. sharks prospect! he's very very good. leads whl defensemen in scoring.#both buttazzoni and zakreski are draft eligible this year. i think they're ranked 114 and 118 respectively by central scouting!#the hawks also have four other nhl prospects not in this gifset:#carter sotheran - flyers. tyson jugnauth - kraken. josh davies and marek alscher - panthers!

Bruh we read your tags on gravity falls and were like “Hah! We don’t have any fictives from Gravity Falls! Guess we’re just built different!” And then someone reminded me of an alter who while they don’t identify as a fictive, their internal appearance is literally that one human Bill design. Systems really can’t escape Gravity Falls
Exactly!
It's why I can't watch gravity falls because i genuinely might become mentally ill !!! (half joking) but like, I'm of the belief that systems should do whatever they want and not be afraid to split. "be cringe but be free". but Gravity Falls is on a different level. its not that ill feel cringe, it's that i'm going to get psychosis
#ask#anon#i'm not kidding by the way#but also youre allowed to laugh at how i phrased this lol#the reason we dont have a gravity falls fictive is because we just.. didnt grow up with it!#we were like 'ooooh' and then mlp grabbed us by the collar and took us to the pony side of the world instead lol#also im not trying to say you SHOULDNT watch gravity falls#its a sweet and funny and very genius show! if you think you'll be fine its suggestable#ITS JUST.. one of those medias where systems who Know are like.. cant recommend it to other systems lol because the splitting gains are lik#you know#it's like Sally Face#except I would say that Sally Face is genuinely worse#gravity falls has beautiful messages but sally face is so horrible#<- has a sally face fictive#<- hates steve gabarg#from kris p#also im soo distracted updating my nyxus carrd. hi. sorry

I’m really torn with what I want to see happen in the epilogue miniseries…on one hand getting a timeskip and seeing Ash grown up would be really interesting. On the other hand sometimes timeskips are cheesy and if they confirm any Ash-centric ships as canon I will riot. Yes I know I’m all about shipping but HONESTLY I would much rather them leave that aspect of Ash’s life ambiguous;; I really like the idea of Ash’s story arc being a “never-ending journey” kind of thing. So that viewers can just…interpret what happens to him in their own way rather than having it be outright stated. And this kid can go on adventures forever because there’s not a solid ending to his storyline
#Basically what I’m hinting at—I’m gonna say it outright here.#If they confirm Amo//shipping as canon I’m going to be so fucking angry. I’m going to lose my mind entirely#Please please PLEASE anything but that. I’d even be fine with Pokeshipping#Anyway that’s my one (1) fear for this#Shima speaks#Pokemon#Pokeani#Ash Ketchum#Satoshi#Honestly tho I’m kinda shocked I’m not more sad about this?#I mean it’s definitely very bittersweet.#I grew up watching Pokemon and watching Ash grow as a person#This kid has been around for as long as I’ve been alive!! That is Insane#Feels like a chapter of my life is ending. Idk how to emotionally process lol#I’m sure once the epilogue hits and I watch it I’ll be sobbing like a fucking baby#But for now I’m just kinda. Yeah. This is good. Good for him

Or a lot of Australian actors farmers in their spare time? Genuine question because i cant tell if it's common
A lot of older Australian actors (and older Australians in general, actually) I know have hobby farms, yes, but I'd say that that's very different from Sam as his family's farm is a (generationally passed-down, from the sounds of it) cattle station and his parents' livelihood.
There is very much a cultural expectation with farmers that I know here that children help out on it during busy periods regardless of their chosen profession. Sam touched on his experiences in animal husbandry in that interview an anon sent me yesterday, but he's talked a bit in press here too about going home for the calving seasons, which I would say would probably be expected by his family given other cattle families that I know.
But yeah, Sam's circumstances are pretty unique, I'd say, given I don't think there are all that many actors who come from actual farming families in Australia.
#at the theatre company i work at we have 9 office staff and 3 of them have family hobby farms for instance#and actually one of them is the daughter of a tv actor who was big here in the 90s#and he's semi-retired to said hobby farm#like the idea of a hobby farm is that it's not really a major source of income (or any source of income sometimes a lot of people are just#using them to grow their own produce and keep a few sheep)#sam's family are career farmers so its pretty different#there IS usually an expectation that the farm would be handed down to the children though#but usually eldest son so sam's probably off the hook for most of it lol#my aunt and uncle live in a cottage on a cattle station up north and they're watching these huge dramas with the fam at the moment because#none of the kids want to take over and the dad refuses to sell#it's messy#sam asks

feeling complicated things this wednesday at 2pm
#thinking abt how at the tail end of high school both friend groups Completely cut me off..one because 1 girl was jealous the other#was soending more time with me and was tired of being essentially bullied by her. but not enough to not cut me out :')#and the other bc the Main Girl decided she didnt like me calling her out for being a jackass so she condemned me and the rest were too#afraid to challenge her lol. they ended up literally replacing me with a kid 2 yrs younger that i had previously been assigned as big siste#to??? lol and even she was happy to be included which. fine she was a kid not really her fault#but then 1 month after graduating wgich i sat thru Alone omi had her 1st stroke and then the hospital failed to notice the 2nd one she had#in their care. so my best and only friend in the world had her life stolen from her and her biggest fear realized overnight.#so ofc i completely shut down and ny mom is so personally offended by this she becomes wildly cruel and bullies the fuck out of ME#and i had already been suicidal for like a decade at that point and was Only staying alive for her sake. suddenly that was all for nothing#so i give up get into drugs and alcohol after having never touched any if it VEHEMENTLY being against it at all but fuck it at that point#which spirals into me dating my ex who was my new boss after my parents forced me to get a new job despite already deciding i was gonna kms#so he sexually harasses me until i say sure fuck it why not . except it turns out i fall in love easily. bc i had never dated before.#and then im public enemy number one for this and all the family friends and STRANGERS regardless of watching ne grow up or not#decide to jump on the lets attack slash be rude to slash bully this kid even more so they KNOW we dissaprove#anyway. its been a very long 9 years.#this is me Still leaving significant shit out too. god lol i was ROBBED of my early adulthood truly

ok im listening to the doc and wow this dude really needs to move on from the 80s and get a life... BUT also the doc is trying to make it seem like all teens in the 80s 'identified' with these characters? is that true for you guys? i never did. but i also didnt identify with clue*less or even vero*nica mars which was pretty solidly my era. the doc is trying to claim that this hegemony of 'identification' is a good thing and that the multiple options of today is making it harder for teens to relate to each other as a group. but the doc is saying this from the pov of a rich white dude. i would argue that today's much broader representation - watching a korean american girl starring in her own teen girl rom com where she is shown to look past the racism of the 80s movies in order to enjoy sixteen c*andles.... I think that is a million times better than what came before. the definition of who could tell stories in the 80s was so much more narrow, it was absurd. and to all the boys was blatantly critiquing that. it was supposed to be sad that lara jean is forced to endure stereotypes just to get her movie romance fix. it's also notable in that movie that lara jean identified most with books, where you could kind of imagine a main character however you wanted even if technically you knew they didnt look like you.
tldr my question to my other 30 somethings would be if 'br*at pack' was ever a bad thing in your lifetime and if you actually identified with these kids in the movies who seemed to have no direction or care in life beyond their tiny little suburban world. cause that was certainly never me as a teen lol. fascinating to watch and fun to imagine living as but not relatable.
#jrnlsht#its like people who think miss swifts music is enjoyed by teen girls because they all identify with it#rather than it just being an appealing ideal and simple narrative to enjoy more than real life#also EVERYONE i knew growing up looked at the bra*t pack affectionately like breakfast*c*lub was idolized#it was a good story! it was fun to watch!#maybe 80s kids really did grow up that sheltered with a small world?#growing up in the 90s we were painfully aware of our place in the world and that even as children we had to have goals in life#and that there was no time for fucking around#but we also had 9*/11 and the poltical fallout which sparked debates at the middle school lunch table#i imagine teens nowadays are probably even more aware of global conflict around them than I was#or maybe my group of friends were just weird and everybody around us were clueless without our realizing#i dont think so though i give teenagers more credit than that#i mean i was younger than 10 when people started asking what college i was going to#not my parents btw im talking total strangers#my dad never put any pressure on me to do anything it was not his style#his style was disappointment if i ever put a toe out of line lol#like yes of course you arent going to college sure thats fine but still if you dont take the hardest classes and#get straight As you will shame me#which 100% worked i idolized my dad#and then i went to one of the top colleges in the country like it was easy 🤣

Sooooo annoyed with my sister. Her and her 2 kids are sick with a stomach bug, and instead of staying home tomorrow she's still going to work and is still having me babysit them. I really really don't want to risk catching what they have but I don't feel like I can possibly say no
#like normally i love babysitting them!! its the highlight of my week!#and i dont expect anything in return#but like. come on. she didnt even ask if i was comfortable still watching them.#and i dont feel like i can bring it up to her without seeming like an asshole#but i wanna be like. hey maybe you should. idk stay home with your extremely sick kids?? especially bc your also sick??#ugh whatever im bitching for nothing bc i wont ever actually grow a spine and say any of this to her#pls pray i dont get sick lol!#txt#mine

however.. it's not just blorbo thoughts that haunt me with that song... it's teacher thoughts too! 🤯
#for the past few months I've been going back and forth about whether i want to teach middle or high school#and this is nowhere near a deciding factor#BUT... consider the following with me.. performing one version as a mass piece at the beginning of the year with the full choir and then.#🤌🏻#at the end of the year doing the other with just the seniors because they have become the old man who will never again pass this way 😭#i feel like dickau's would be better as a mass piece because of it's more relaxed rhythms. the chords sound fuller than macdonald's which#would probably sound nicer with all hands on deck! and then macdonald's more rhythmically challenging arrangement would be cool for the#seniors 😁 but this is to my untrained and pretty rusty ear so 🕴️ we'll see how i feel when i go back to school#another idea I've entertained is giving each class a like. Challenge Song their freshman year and recording it‚ then reprising it their#senior year and letting them compare their performances to reflect their growth as musicians.. i think that would be really cool :]#i dont think i could conduct the bridge builder with that in mind though.. id start crying lol! but i think it is fundamental as a choir#student to watch your director cry in the middle of a song+ continue on as if nothing was happening#but anyhow idk man.. the idea of working with high schoolers to really build up their musicality and prepare them for the world is very#appealing to me but you can't be a musician without the foundations which i could establish in middle school#and foundations are very fun to teach as well!! but foundations can be taught in a beginning choir course or during summer camp#so 😩#the music i want to direct is all satb which suits high school better. but is it selfish to choose which way to go based on what music you#like? 🕴️🕴️ the contemplations man.... anyhow i have a lot more growing and learning and Studying to do before this will even matter#can't prepare kids for the world when I've scarcely explored it myself!#sriracha.txt
