ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

#'all those tiktok girls who only like marvel films and' - why do you always say girls and women? are the guys filling opera halls instead?#'women in their mid 20s who still only read YA novels' okay sure that's an example and relevant discussions can be had #but it reminds me of the mocking tone in which people speak of 'chick-lit' to use women's interest as an indicator of lower value #while in fact women are reading more than men in EVERY single genre of fiction. Women are doing a lot of (often unpaid) labour #supporting libaries supporting theatres supporting cultural events #meanwhile there is a pretty big overlap between toxic masculinity and anti-intellectualism #(especially misogyny and homophobia)#especially when it comes to things like ballet or opera or musical or generally dance #in fact it is often the female investment in specific things that makes them less 'valuable' in general consciousness #for thousands of years the theatre was well-respected and a high form of art - and now it's a 'wife-thing'#the father who will teach his son that theatre and dance are for girls - how is that never an example for anti-intellectualism

(Accidentally mis-clicked enter on my last ask. Here's the full "ask")

What he says...

VS What I read...

("us" as in him and WWX, not the spider just to be clear)

They should make an adaptation called 'The Unfiltered', where Lan Wangji says exactly what's on his mind.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #ask #So glad you came back and resent the ask with the completed joke. Thank you; the punchline is fantastic.#A fairly significant part of LWJ's character is that he *does not* say what he truly wants to.#Frankly he spends a significant part of his life not having the words to describe his feelings and wants.#And when he finally does know what he wants...it is too late to say anything at all.#He is a character that struggles to read between the lines who also needs to be read between the lines.#What a great trait to apply to a character in a series about the harms of taking the world at face value.#Lan Wangji you have my sincerest apologies. In the past I considered you mid. You were the olive of my character charcuterie.#My palate has expanded to appreciate the complexities and necessity of your traits.#Go get 'em. You salty and bitter (+ fruity) king. Those flavours rule. People love you enough to get very mad on polls on your behalf.

Twisted Stories: Two seconds memory Part 2

Aaaaaand we're back to Book 2. Featuring Finn simping as usual, "I'm mid and nice" Trey who can actually behave like as much a brat as anybody else in this school, Yuu's two seconds memory and Jamil's lack of charisma. Told you we weren't done.

[PREV] - [NEXT] - [MASTERLIST]

(Finn belongs to @the-fab-fox)

#I'm seriously not kidding when I say that I kept forgetting Jamil was in Book 2 while I was reading said Book #Yuu's rections are legit mine #it works tho - Jamil's deal before Book 4 is that he's trying to be as mid and forgettable as possible #Twisted Stories #mello's drawings #twisted wonderland #twst #twst oc #twst yuu #twst finn #leona kingscholar #trey clover #jamil viper #dire crowley #my art #yuu

Shots fired by the Spider-man sequels.

Was ruminating on how Miles and Miguel are technically both 'Spider-man 2' in their respective universes. Got me thinking about the other Spider-successors in the cast, and also what if they all got matching T-shirts or something.

#Bringing back Peter’s ITSV insecurity from his mid-life spider-crisis to document his hard swerve into “dad & mentor” in real time #Miles is wearing a variation of the Hobie watch because I cant see post-ATSV Miles wearing a watch with Miguel's parental controls on it #Miguel is reading the instructions for assembling a couch from IKEA 2099 #he has to build a new one for the breakroom b/c the last one died to T-rex butt #Basically I had an idea that involved learning how to draw Ben Reilly and jumped on it. His comic inking look is weirdly nostalgic for me.#my art #miles morales #ben reilly #miguel o'hara #mayday parker #scarlet spider #ultimate spider man #spider man 2099 #spider girl #spider man #peter b parker #peter parker #across the spiderverse #atsv #may parker #into the spiderverse #atsv fanart #spider man: across the spider verse #miles morales prowler #prowler miles #miles 42 #the cooler spider man #the cooler miles #that's not a bit he's just legitimately the cooler Miles #spider-man

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

#the beatles #john lennon #paul mccartney #mclennon #idk if im explaining this well but it always gives me whiplash to read how 'beatles historians' elsewhere view them #bc it seems like for all that theyre able to make the simple connection between johns past and trauma to his behavior #as a protective mechanism to shield him from vulnerability #far fewer people make the equally reasonable connection between pauls past #with parents that never said i love you to each other or told their children about a serious illness #and an adult paul who doesnt examine his own feelings much less speak candidly about them #or stories like mike mccartney talking about being beaten by jim while paul yelled at him to just say that he 'didnt do it' so it would sto #and an adult paul who has clearly internalized the basic cause and effect of the things you say and the consequences that come from them #and how the truth is less relevant in those situations than the obvious path of least resistance that will spare you needless pain #idk i have a lot of thoughts and feelings on how people see paul mccartney #i want to shake some of these biographers and be like this mid-20s kid experiencing a level of scrutiny and pressure #the world had never seen before #was not puppeteering everything to meet his vision #he was trying to protect himself and his friends from the very real danger of public perception!!#my posts

obligatory 2/2 comic because its basically a right of passage for any shuake fan. also theres no backgrounds because i tried and it looked bad!

bonus:

background that i didnt use bc again this looked REALLY bad with backgrounds

this mildly amusing color ref

and an uncolored version too. for funsies and because i actually really liked the lines here

#doodles #akira kurusu #ren amamiya #joker #goro akechi #persona 5 #shuake #i mean its not explicitly shuake it can be read as platonic #i am a big fan of reading things platonically feel free to do so #.however that was not the intent this is meant to be gay #is this a good comic? debatable #but i post mid comics all the time its my job #anyways enjoyyyy uhhhh the revived persona hyperfixation #been using no pen pressure or antialising lately #cant garuntee ill continue but it is fun #if you know glassshine uhhh theyre a big inspo for that gnhgtrfgh #i stole their line colors too #sorry theyre very good </3

I love love love how well written Lee Sookyoung's character is specifically for a mother or parental figure. She is the protag's mother and things she did in life do center around that role but when she's near death and her 'thema' needs to be treated, Kim Dokja isn't enough. His role as her son doesn't make him automatically qualified to fix her thema. Reducing women, especially mothers or mother figures, to their role as protectors or ploys to further the narrative of the protag isn't uncommon, despite it being a cop out. It's something very many well-written media resort to and I certainly wouldn't have questioned if ORV pulled a 'despite their broken relationship, Kim Dokja knew his mother's soul' because at this point the story has shown me so much of his suffering as a son and LSY's regrets as a mother that I'm rooting for a storyline like that. But ORV doesn't do that. Instead it is fair to Lee Sookyoung, doesn't reduce her to a plot point in Kim Dokja's story, and instead gives her the multidimensionality she very much deserves by making her prison friends and even HSY a part of her salvation. She left KDJ and lived part of her story with people unknown to him and simply regretting and reconnecting isn't going to undo all that. KDJ left the Star Stream and then went to the 1863rd round leaving LSY with HSY and YSA and KDJ has no stake in the connections Kimcom made with each other during that time just because he's back now.

LSY and all ORV women are multidimensional and it's so beautiful to me that it makes me cry

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.

Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.

To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.

The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.

The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.

Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.

Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.

#i could talk for ages about how i see the struggle of defining being a woman for oneself in her #she rejects the feminine roles given to her but she also doesnt quite want the masculine ones #she just wants the freedom to choose and have the same respect that men are given #she doesnt want to be belitted because she is a woman #thats literally what Faramir gives her and why she stays with him #Faramir loves her for her not anything else #he respects her as she does him #i am someone who is a woman but rejects the definitons of being a woman because they are toxic and caging #all i want is the freedom and respect of being a HUMAN being #i lend more masculine because that is where that freedom is more often but i also see how toxic that relam is too #niether side is good which is why i choose my own path and defintiom #the fact that eowyn gets such a similar story in a series written by a man in the mid 1900s is incredible #i am someone who would love to have more female characters but i do not want them at the expense of them being proper characters and humans #ive read a lot of fantasy women do not always get the agency they deserve #i would rather take fewer well written women then a bunch of poorly written female characters #lotr has that #eowyn arwen and galadriel are all given agency and the space to be their own individuals which makes them incredible characters #thats what i want out of books and ficition #god im making myself insane about my own thoughts lol #i could talk for ages im not kidding #eowyn #eowyn of rohan #lotr #lotr rambling #lord of the rings #the two towers #the return of the king

(who's gonna save you, hero?)

i love whump fics where tim ends up on the ropes alone and doesn't know if anyone's gonna reach him in time

i really really love leonardo romero's inks and jordie bellaire's colors from the "i am the gun" mini telling the zur-en arrh backstory (in batman issues #128-130), so this is another loose style study

i had this frame in mind specifically, altho i couldnt quite commit to the hard inks

ALSO the concept was loosely based off the issues in legacy ('tec (1940) #698-99) where tim goes undercover and then gets nabbed by lockup and his comm cuts off in the middle of telling nightwing what's going on, which also gave us this great (but misleading) cover
