Thank you Ahsoka tv show for women 🙏
#star wars#cant believe I got to see star wars content where there was basically never less than 2 bad bitches on screen at a time#like the amount of scenes that were basically 2-3 women and a robot or one guy…#and then I realise how ridiculous this sounds#like. is the bar that low.#if I think of the amount of media where its constantly 2-10 guys and not a woman in sight. man.#jen rambles

i do think that writers should be aware of the dark topics they're writing about; to me this means that e.g. if you're writing about an abusive relationship, you should know that it is abusive. i don't mean that you need to have a big and important point to make about abuse (especially not a necessarily moralistic one where e.g. the abuser "gets what's coming to them") in order to write it. just like that you should know what you're writing about. otherwise you get batman comics.
#it's fine for the Point of the story to be like 'wow this is fucked up huh' like i like horror.... i read that shit#but you should KNOW you know. that's all. a low bar

i CANNOT stress enough how incompatible the themes of these two pieces of media are. i promise my media literacy ability is actually good im well aware that these character mappings are absolutely nothing. that said. play with me in this space. in this sopping wet miserable space. its bad luck to kill a piou piou
original screenshots (and hypnosis 1904) for reference
#'oh but both of them are about isolation' NOT THE SAME KIND OF ISOLATION THEY AINT#in stars and time#isat#in stars and time fanart#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#lucabyteart#sifloop#I SUPPOSE. THEYRE DANCING THEYRE HUGGING ITS FINE. IT COULD MEAN NOTHING. THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019) HAS THEMES. OF AN ILK. I WOULD SAY.#anyway yes these r redraws of scenes from robert eggers' The Lighthouse. a film i would consider diametrically thematically opposed to isat#something something ✨ You're fond of my crab arent you stardust?#yeah thats the best i got here. im just having fun with pictures. this does straight up mean nothing. like at all. theres like 3 things#that you could draw as parallels and theyre Very strained. its like 1. preoccupation w the ocean (but in very different ways)#2. both are abt isolation (but in very different ways)#3. wanting to fuck a bright source of light. sorry i mean the third one is only a parallel if you have a specific reading of Tom#that is spoilers and may or may not be true. also theyre both in black and white. this means nothing#(now. if anything. if you wanted to map isat onto an eggers' movie id say its nosferatu. like. it at least has someone calling out to the#forces unknown for a companion & being accepted and loved despite literally embracing the physical embodiment of your shame....#that said if youve watched nosferatu you also know this mapping is utterly nuts. im sending isabeau into the catacombs to go burn the rats#everyones vampire aus are cute but whos out here coding loop as count orlok hm? . and odile as willem dafoe i guess?#this falls apart quickly and is not a serious suggestion i just want to point out the bar for 'being more relevant to isat than#the lighthouse' is is like. a VERY low bar.)#anyway made sif more visibly afrocarribean since if im drawing them realistically im not making them particularly white passing.#ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN IM DRAWING OVER ROBERT PATTERSON OF ALL PEOPLE....

my number one fantasy of all time will always be someone discovering i'm ticklish, figuring out that i like being tickled, and then tickling me every chance they get because they know it turns me on
#when they actually pay attention to you and focus on giving you pleasure 😍😍😍😍😍#the bar is so fucking low but god. what i wouldnt give for someone to actually care about what i like lol

here are all of my new bfdi gjinkas, fully done! well, not "fully" fully. these are just colored sketches... i just wanted to get my ideas down, so you folks can see them, and so i can use them in later art! yay!
also, yeah, the proportions are inconsistent, and i pretty quickly forgot to put the squiggle under the team name. but whatever! hope you like them anyway :)
#dandy's doodles#bfdi#battle for dream island#bfdi humie#bfdi gjinka#bfdi human#bfdi humanized#tpot#the power of two#bfb#i really like how these turned out!!!! they're infinitely better than the old ones (though the bar is incredibly low...)#some of my favorite new designs are taggy... cake... bracelety... foldy... stapy... black hole... saw...#though i love them all very much <3

I love watching Phantom where the Raoul is giving it his all and is trying his best to be a good boyfriend and yet Christine is still visually conflicted on choosing him or the literal murderer that lives underground.
#phantom of the opera#erik/christine#raoul/christine#christine daae#we’re two murders in and she’s still like ‘idk he makes a good case with the music and he has a fat ass’#its one thing for Raoul to suck and ‘win’ because the bar is low#But its an entirely more enjoyable experience when Raoul is legitimately good and yet Christine still wants Erik#It’s so sad but I mean the LAYERS

out of all the batfam, bruce's relationship with stephanie is genuinely the most interesting to me, because literally what is going on there? what are they doing? how do they feel about each other, like actually.
#NOT father and daughter#not really mentor and student#but a secret third thing#she died and they're never going to move past that#when she was a kid she dreamed of him saving her and they're never going to move past that#and they'll never talk about anything ever#and like there's love that's undeniable#but there's also genuine bitterness and vitriol#not her dad but the most reliable male adult in her life#which tells you how low the bar is#god i need to dissect them#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#spoiler dc#dc comics#batfam#batman#batfamily

Putting my silly, grubby hands all over a stupid shirt I saw
#the adventure zone#taz#taz ethersea#ethersea#amber gris#zoox anthellae#devo la main#MY HANDWRITING IS SO ASS… I JUST REALIZED THE SMALL TEXT LOOKS LIKE ‘GOES FISTING’ 😭😭😭😭#based on a lowkey wife-hating boomer shirt I saw that said ‘I love it when my wife lets me go golfing’#which isnt explicitly wife-hating (low bar to clear) but still reeks of the ball and chain / hag wife vibe that made me go ugh.#I was considering having the text still be ‘lets me go’ but the vibe I got from the shirt was SO ‘My wife is my ball and chain’ so I changed#it to be more appreciating spending time with your partners. i mean why WOULDNT they go fish together?!

genuinely fucking furious about reactions to Mcbride, especially seeing this shit coming from fellow trans ppl…. like have you lost the fucking plot????
#🧿#like u do realize we are damned if we do/damned if we don’t w regards to cis ppl passing laws on our bodies#like if she pushed back can u realize how that would feed into the narrative of 'trans ppl invading womens spaces' and just inflame shit#more???#WHY ARE YOU MORE OUTRAGED W A TRANS PERSON MAKING PERSONAL DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR SAFETY THAN THE CIS PPL MAKING THESE RULES IN THE FIRST PLA#E????????#they all have private bathrooms anyway like this is just more cis bullying & y‘all continue to blame trans ppl for it#the bar is so fucking low and yet i‘m still fucking disappointed

god i need to write more fics that at least tangentially get into gender. because i know that timkon are t4t in every fic i write but it doesnt always come up. and god knows its just me peddling my little rowboat alone in the t4t timkon waters. 😭 i gotta... i gotta keep kontributing... the trans tim and nonbinary kon tags, they need me...
#rimi talks#deeply unfortunate that the trans tim tag is full of bat/cest ships and also transphobia.#what about people (me) who want tim to simply be a trans guy who's simply a freak and it's not bc he's trans it's just his nature#and then theres the nb kon tag. which like all kon tags is populated by people who havent actually read konmics. sad#at least it's better in there than the trans tim tag but still. low bar#BUT HES LITERALLY KONBINARY.#theres a whole saga in my mind about kon's gender journey inspiring tim to actually stop holding onto --#-- the kinda rigid boxes of gender labels and ideas about presentation that he holds himself to bc of his dad's influence#like tim at age 30 is much more comfortable being gnc than tim at age 16#tim at age 16 would see tim at age 30 lounging around in a skirt and legwarmers and feel so betrayed#tim at age 30 is just like im a dude no matter what i wear and im comfy and i stole my husbands skirt. cope#its about the growth they go through together. and making each other better. and also about transgenderisms. and#(and then i peek outside my bubble and remember that jesus god the trans tim tag is a nightmare!!!! AUGH!!!)#i gotta write more t4t timkon. its just me and my little rowboat against the world

seven whole years after my adhd diagnosis, where the specialist told me that i couldn't possibly be autistic too because i'm ✨capable of empathy✨, i've finally been referred for an autism assessment 🥹
#🙃#i mean. the assessment might be literally years away and might not diagnose me#but yay#the gp was like “um ok yes i think they would diagnose you with autism based on these symptoms”#and that's probably the best thing a gp has ever said to me hahaha#it took me ages to just get this gp appointment and i went in fully prepared to have to fight my corner#i had such an awful time even getting referred for adhd#what a low bar we've set huh. that i'm so impressed with a gp not gaslighting me and actually listening to me

though i think my favourite reveal from the book of bill has been that at no point in his relationship with ford did bill ever stop being bill
he's always been loud and weird and fucked up and creepy, it's just that prior to the portal reveal ford would look at the fucked up shit he did and go "ah, hmm, he's from another dimension, he clearly doesn't realise that that would be read by humans as 'gross' and 'unacceptable', honest mistake, i'll be sure to tell him that next time!"
like honey no when he possesses a bunch of dead rats for your birthday present or tells you you should have eaten your twin in the womb for power (and when you explain that's not how that works go "you'd be surprised what you can eat!"), he's doing that on purpose
#you'd be surprised what you can eat shouldn't make me laugh every time but it does#but god it's just like ford i know he was manipulating you to hell and back (somewhat literally)#but your bar for dating is so low (or so weird) that you didn't consider THAT a turn off?#fucking disasters all round it's great#gravity falls#the book of bill#bill cipher#stanford pines#ford pines

"Jin Ling wasn't abused! Jiang Cheng was the perfect uncle to him, and Jin Ling would never doubt that—"
Hey, quick question: how come Jin Ling hesitates to go to Jiang Cheng during the second siege despite all the other boys immediately and unhesitatingly running to embrace their relatives when the adults arrive?
These cultivators, including Jiang Cheng, all bathed in blood, their faces tired. All of the boys rushed outside the cave, shouting, “Dad!” “Mom!” “Brother!” They were embraced into the crowd. Jin Ling looked left and right, as though he still hadn’t decided yet. Jiang Cheng’s voice was harsh, “Jin Ling, why are you so slow? What are you taking your time for? Do you want to die?!”
—Chapt. 68: Tenderness, exr
#mdzs#canon jiang cheng#a child who had just been kidnapped#and then rescued by the man HE stabbed after being raised with the belief#that said man intentionally murdered his parents#hesitates between running to one of the uncles that raised him#vs. staying at the side of the man he thinks orphaned him#totally the behavior of a child raised in unquestionable love#'jin ling loves jc so jc couldn't have abused him!' yeah well jin ling ends the novel#still loving jgy#and jgy spent his last moments in life ordering his nephew's dog to be killed#admitting that HE is the reason his nephew is an orphan and that he actually doesn't like him#and then almost killing said nephew#so maybe we shouldn't be going for low bars

I love how Buck showed Tommy he was indeed ready for something. He invited him for coffee in a very public place, in broad daylight, the table is in the middle. And he's the one putting his hand on Tommy's.
#bucktommy#evan buckley#tommy kinard#i know they're writing tommy to be this almost perfect guy#and i know the bar is low so even him just being nice is like wow what a god lol#but I'm happy he's like that it keeps the focus on buck's journey#and i want him to be safe#and tommy is written perfectly for that
