I get that in general a lot of kids shows do utilize the protagonists ('good guys') in ways where they're supposed to be role models, particularly because some do have a "lesson of the week" where the character does bad things, then clearly learns and explains what they should've done instead by the end of the episode.

That has just... never been how TDP has operated, and I don't get how and why people think we're supposed to take what anyone does in the show as being unilaterally good or evil. Particularly in arc 2; any moral simplicity that was hanging on by a thread in arc 1 has been taken out back and shot numerous times by now.

TDP very rarely calls anything Evil or Good, and when it does, it's always filtered through the characters' biases, and rarely does more then 2-3 characters ever have the same opinion on something for the same reasons. Soren and Rayla, who have inverted character arcs, are some of the only characters to ever use the term villain / good guys or bad guys, and are two of the most staunchly black-and-white thinking characters, heavily to their detriment, I might add, in terms of coping with the increasing complexity of their lives. They have cognitive biases. They're not always right, and are frequently wrong. This is true for everyone in the show.

The show refuses to condemn murder, indirectly and directly condemns the expulsion of humans from Xadia routinely (Evrkynd being a city for everyone, Ezran arguing with Karim, who is the most wrong about the most things), and shows a variety of viewpoints on all things.

The show understands that the choices people make—whether the same character trait is a flaw or a strength—as well as 'moral' choices are all circumstantial.

Are you wrong to burn people alive? Mostly yes (2x07, 6x08) but also no (3x09). Are you wrong to kill people? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes whether it's 'wrong' or 'right' doesn't even factor in. Are you wrong to use dark magic, or use the dangerous Staff of Ziard, or coin someone and condemn them to a 'fate worse than death'? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Is lying or hiding the truth to protect someone wrong? Sometimes yes (1x06, 2x03, 3x03, 5x01, 7x04, 7x06) sometimes no (1x02, 2x03, 6x06, 5x08, 7x08).

Are you doing the right thing?

Do you have no choice? Is that true, or is that just what you think, or how you rationalize it yourself?

When is it right or cowardly to leave (Viren, Lissa, Rayla, Callum, Ezran, the Cosmic Council, the offer made to Karim's troops)? When should you stay? When do you decide to share resources (2x05) to your potential detriment or withhold them in the name of protecting yourself and your own people (Xadia and magic)? At what point(s) do you prioritize your own pain and grief, or someone else's (i.e. the Keeper vs Callum vs Ezran)? At what point is someone too dangerous or 'too far gone' to keep alive (Runaan about Harrow, Ezran about Aaravos)? At what point do you decide someone cannot change? When do you refuse to change (Karim, Terry) who you are no matter what happens, and when do you decide that you must (Ezran, Soren)? When is it wrong to use illusions to trick someone (3x09 and 7x06) and when is it more reasonable (2x03)? When should you be willing to sacrifice others (Rayla with her family, Runaan and Rayla with Callum, Soren with Viren) and when should you refuse? When should you sacrifice yourself, and when it is wrong to? Did you betray them, or did they betray you, or both (usually both)? When should you betray or stay loyal to your family? What is the right thing to do?

The show, tbh, doesn't know, at least 90% of the time. It's not interested in knowing. It's interested in exploring. That's the whole point. At most, it says you should work towards harm reduction, but what constitutes harm, and what peace looks like, is also something that greatly differs for all the characters.

Rayla is willing to sacrifice the love of her life, Ezran is willing to create weapons of mass destruction and wield one, and Callum used a torture spell on someone when he absolutely did not have to. The idea that any of the protagonists are meant to be paragons of unblemished virtue who are always 100% right, or that any of the antagonists do not canonically have a good point of contention with anything that's happened and are always 100% wrong, is reductive to everything the show is and explores, because it is Quite Literally not what the show does, ever tbh.

They literally spelled it out this past season as a core theme; I don't think they needed to have a character directly point it out every time a main character did something that was Kinda Fucked Up or Complicated But Understandable to know that the show knows it was Canonically Fucked Up or Complicated But Understandable.

There is not a single character or action in TDP that is always right, and there is not a singular character or action in TDP that is always wrong. Hell, even narrowing it down to "this is 'right' or 'wrong'" feels counterintuitive because it's so subjective within the narrative.

Every choice the characters make is often well reasoned, aligns with their values and world views, and fits into how they work through problems. Every choice has benefits and consequences, for them or for others. That doesn't mean it's Right for everyone involved. That doesn't mean it's Wrong for everyone involved. That's what makes the show interesting. Everything has nuance. Everything has Complexity. I'm not interested in a simplified version of TDP. I'm interested in the show as is.

I hope you are, too.

#tdp #the dragon prince #analysis series #analysis #mine #im so tired #s7 spoilers #like i truly cannot fathom watching viren walk away from claudia or the illusion plan in 7x06 and thinking #'the show wants us to think this was 100% the right thing to do no ifs ands or buts' like. what #like rayla thematically has always been an antagonist #it just always seems like ppl are like. the show doesn't know the magic system is unfair #or the cosmic council are gonna be good guys. and it's like. the show has known the magic system is unfair since s2 #that's the point of s2. the cosmic council will be dismantled. they have to be. that's why they're there #it's a hand of god narrative structure. they executed a child for no reason. where else would we go #have a lil faith #'humans can do whatever they want bc they were oppressed' that's not how life & morality works #just look at world affairs (atrocities in gaza)

#porygon-z #now THIS is the ideal pokémon!! this is what spamton would be if he was a pokémon. it's just. prime pokémon #really good design‚ really good like. lore and personality #idgaf if it's like fucked up by humans or whatever i think it's a good fuckin pokémon #hi. it's me from the day before this posts coming back to check up on the queue and add some tags to pokémon that were lacking #i should expand upon the spamton point. a friend of mine came up with a concept for a pmd character #named Porygon-Z-Porygon. a play on Spamton-G-Spamton #who is just a porygon-Z that acts like spamton. because they have very similar glitchy vibes. and i think it's really good #and i now think of spamton every time i see porygon

I become 300% more of both a lover and a hater when I'm on my period. just a time of the month when I have strong opinions I would say

#i want to kiss a butch for 3 hours. also i'm the only one in the world with correct opinions about everything #me the main character of life #anyway i saw this post complaining about sanitized mass marketable queer art #where the person described themselves based on the interests i guess they thought were most stereotypical and then were like #isn't there something rawer or more real than this #to which i would say there is! but you went to the queer market day #idk it is a frustration of mine too i do get it #but i think some people could stand to just get weirder and like the things they like #idk i buy cute little queer stickers all the time but i regularly stand out as a strange person in both queer and straight communities #get a friend who worked the same shit job who will sell you abstract alien art they made while they were high it's not hard #go to goodwill more. you'll find some raw expressions of humanity.#if you just want your interests to be more genuine to you it's simple #you just have to accept that maybe 2 other people will be able to rec you music or foods you enjoy #being more specific isn't everything it's cracked up to be sometimes #i think the problem here is mainly capitalism

so, i had the thought. eleven goes from a relatively giddy, haunted, and young man into a grumpy, haunted, old man as twelve. do you think he changed into something he thought clara could never love romantically?

#because i do #like how nine changes into a more flirty almost younger version of himself #because he might have thought it’s what rose would want #only now it’s the opposite #because the doctor couldn’t fathom losing someone else he was in love with #yet he did anyway #doctor who #clara oswald #eleventh doctor #twelfth doctor #whoffaldi #twelveclara #mine #clara im not your boyfriend #i never thought you were #i never said it was your mistake #self sabotage at its finest #the doctor absorbs so much of humanity #it only makes sense they would also find themself lost in insecurity #it’s the safest way to push them away while still grasping onto them #ohh companions who loved the doctor and had to watch the doctor change how i love you #p.s. the words i associate with these doctors are ones either deemed by the fandom or by the show itself not my own person opinions #because i don’t think twelve is grumpy #he’s just more up-front with his emotions which is the opposite of eleven #my two favorite doctors #+ twelve is almost a more honest version technically #his age is indeed old and he always gets straight to the point so him changing is almost a beg for clara to love him as he is #while thinking she may never love him as the truest version of himself in terms of age #idk i’m talking out of my ass lol

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

#BEGONE!!! *wizard beam blast leaving a black smoking crater in the middle of the tumblr dashboard*#I think another downside to everyone doing everything on phone apps on shitty tiny screens nowadays is the inability to really see details #of an image and thus its easier to share BLATANTLY fake things like.. even 'good' ai art has pretty obvious tells at this point #but especially MOST of it is not even 'good' and will have details that are clearly off or lines that dont make sense/uneven (like the imag #of a house interior and in the corner there's a cabinet and it has handles as if it has doors that open but there #are no actual doors visible. or both handles are slightly different shapes. So much stuff that looks 'normal' at first glance #but then you can clearly tell it's just added details with no intention or thought behind it. a pattern that starts and then just abruptly #doesn't go anywhere. etc. etc. )#the same thing with how YEARS ago when I followed more fashion type blogs on tumblr and 'colored hair' was a cool ''''New Thing''' instead #of being the norm now basically. and people would share photos of like ombre hair designs and stuff that were CLEARLY photoshop like #you could LITERally see the coloring outside of the lines. blurs of color that extend past the hair line to the rest of the image #or etc. But people would just share them regardless and comment like 'omg i wish I could do this to my hair!' or 'hair goallzzzz!! i #wonder what salon they went to !!' which would make me want to scream and correct them everytime ( i did not lol)#hhhhhhggh... literally view the image on anything close to a full sized screen and You Will SEe #I don't know why it's such a pet peeve of mine. I think just as always I'm obsessed with the reality and truth of things. most of the thing #that annoy me most about people are situations in which people are misinterpreting/misunderstanding how something works or having a misconc #eption about somehting thats easily provable as false or etc. etc. Even if it's harmless for some random woman on facebook to believe that #this AI generated image of a cat shaped coffee machine is actually a real product she could buy somewhere ... I still urgently #wish I could be like 'IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION. YOU SEE???? ITS NOT REALL!!!!! AAAAA' hjhjnj #Like those AI shoes that went around for a while with 1000000s of comments like 'omg LOVE these where can i get them!?' and it's like YOU #CANT!!! YOU CANT GET THEM!!! THEY DONT EXIST!!! THE EYELETS DONT EVEN LINE UP THE SHOES DONT EVEN #MATCH THE PATTERNS ARE GIBBERISH!! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEY ARE NOT REAL!??!!' *sobbing in the rain like in some drama movie*#Sorry I'm a pedantic hater who loves truth and accuracy of interpretation and collecting information lol #I think moreso the lacking of context? Like for example I find the enneagram interesting but I nearly ALWAYS preface any talking about it #with ''and I know this is not scientifically accurate it's just an interesting system humans invented to classify ourselve and our traits #and I find it sociologically fascinating the same way I find religion fascinating'. If someone presented personality typing information wit #out that sort of context or was purporting that enneagram types are like 100% solid scientific truth and people should be classified by the #unquestionaingly in daily life or something then.. yeah fuck that. If these images had like disclaimers BIG in the image description somewh #re like 'this is not a real thing it's just an AI generated image I made up' then fine. I still largely disagree with the ethics behind AI #art but at least it's informed. It's the fact that people just post images w/o context or beleive a falsehood about it.. then its aAAAAAA

I don’t know if we’ll ever get a dbh sequel/dlc but if we did, the team behind it would be idiots to not make it centered on Gavin and Nines, given their popularity.

Frankly speaking, two characters who basically have squat in canon are two of the most popular characters in the fandom and their relationship is rivalling the most popular relationship not only in the game but in the fandom.

I mean, there’s TWO MOVIES DEDICATED TO THEM FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

Seriously, to not cash in on the shit would be so dumb.

#detroit: become human #dbh #reed900 #I’ll be honest #am I biased here cause I genuinely enjoy r9?#yes but logically speaking if they want a sequel to dbh to be just as popular as the first one #cash in on what is popular now #which is r9 #someone else said it before but the main characters stories have already been told #if a sequel/dlc were to be made this time it would be good to focus on the characters we didn’t see much of #and just because Gavin and Nines are popular in the fandom #doesn’t mean that we know anything about them in canon #mine #mine: texts #mine: dbh

i like my main style well enough bc i love paying attention to details of the human body but id love to explore another that's more toward the stylization side of the scale... solely bc it is true that the more realistic something skews the easier it is to really see flaws that dont align... i want something more flowy and visually interesting... hm hm hm hm hm

#talkys #like sometimes artists will draw huge feet with simplified circle shaped shoes with no detail #i could not get away with that it would look off ! but i also dont care about learning to draw shoes rn (for example)#so i wanna find an in between #i did this well with a cheye i drew like a year ago... that was a good balance. idk how to do it consistently and with other characters tho #ill see if i can reblog it shortly i can see it rly clearly in my mind #i gave him funny circle feet and everything #and i gave in to stylization of proportions despite them not being similar to mine #hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #another thing i wanna say abt this is like #at the zine fest i was much more interested in zines with simplified funny little styles #than the people who were selling full on published volumes of comics #and i feel like im on the comic sides. well not completely bc again im always looking to get away with not knowing how to draw shit #like shoes. or. perspective #but im more leaning toward that side than like. fun early 2000s cartoon style....ykwim #but the issue is i also cant fully lean into ''fun'' styles bc i looooove the human body so much yup yup yup

#and that's a wrap people!#i'll probably read the novel at some point but i've finished the series #and i liked it a lot like so much more than i thought i would i may even dare to say it's a new favorite of mine #i just liked it a lot #the characters the dynamics the simplicity of it all but also the lore that was wild #there were some unanswered questions but there always seems to be and i do feel that with the messaging we're going for of humanity #having infinite potential it fits to leave some things open though i would have liked to see all three riders together out of suit one #last time just bc i think it'd be nice to see but overall i'm very fond of it <3 #kr agito lb #kr lb #umbrella.thoughts #umbrella.posts

I could count the amount of original stories of mine that don't have horror elements on one hand and idk what that says about me

#thylacines can talk #actually i do know it says mmmmm making horror monster ocs is fun #outside of my fandom ocs my ocs and original stories arre dominated by horror elements and religious themes oopsie daisy #i might eventually post about them but the hk brainrot is going strong #but a friend of mine got a commission for me of my doomer human x monster yaoi so you'll see my Main Babygirls soon 🥰#hand in unlovable hand they're fucked and weird and it's an unhealthy relationship and it'll never work as everything is stacked against #them yet each other is all they have and if being together means their death then so be it. Peter should have probably ran. Should have left #would be better off for the majorth of the story had he never met it yet the two are so alike. it's the first thing that's ever unnderstood #him. it's the first 'person' that's ever truly cared for him. And even if it has flaws and his life was ruined by things beyond his #comprehension and he risks his life he's not willing to let go of the only person whos truly seen him and loved him. Who is willing to tear #its world apart and die for him. There are no happy endings here. They were doomed from the start. But at least they have each other.#also tfw your life and 'family' sucks so much that a literal monster who manipulated you and used your body to carry out ruthless murders is #nicer to you than your goddamn brother and friends. like damn dude.#I honestly think if Slaughter was born a human their relationship would be great for both of them they truly fit together like two puzzle #pieces. two outcasts who have so much in common and find comfort in one another. but because of the circumstances of Slaughter's nature and #what it was forced to be this is not a healthy situation or a relationship. Peter comes out better at the end and would be as good as dead #if not for meeting Slaughter so there's a silver lining in all of this but goddamn dude. the bullshit it took to get there.#The fact that his life was so bad literally getting possessed by a monster and almost being murdered numerous times and an insane amount of #trauma and bbeing a target for monsters for the rest of your life literally IMPROVED IT my guy truly cant catch a fucking break 😭😭

weird teenage girls who become obsessed with what they fear, who learn their fears inside out, who ascertain expertise on their fears, and then when someone is like “wow, you know a lot about wasps, you must really like them :)” they just have to be like no <3

#tw insects #cw insects #there were these huge wasps that would swarm the street next to mine by the dozens #they’re extremely curious and will come after people and bump into them #and they’re LOUD too so even if you can’t feel one sniffing around u u can hear it #they come out of holes in the dirt. for years I called them sand bees #it took me a long time to figure out what they actually are #they’re called cicada killer wasps and they go to ground the same time perennial cicadas do #they lay their eggs inside the sleeping cicadas and come summer the babies eat their way out while the cicada is still alive #they rarely sting humans. but they can #my best girl who’s afraid of whales has a tracker for them up on her computer always #we are what we fear #squawk tag
