#none of it matters

[thegreenleavesofspring]

They say that God does not make mistakes, that He is not cruel and does not enjoy watching us suffer. They say that He is sovereign.

If I accept all this as true, and I am still here where I do not want to be, it must follow that He wants me here - that my purpose here is yet unfulfilled. And who am I, in my pride and my hubris, to say that I know better than He does, and to cut my time here short?

three things stupid people idolize about filmmaking culture even though they don't understand any of it:

practical effects

actor did his own stunts

unscripted line or mistake that was kept in the final film

Breaking news: my life, meaning, and existence does not revolve solely on my current job. There is more to myself than where i get money. More at 11.

Apple juice (so much of it!), sunsets, friendship walls, and peekaboo cats to end a rather long day. It's the little things (or excessive amount of apple juice things) that bring the most joy in life.

my hot art take is to just have fun with it. shade with black if you want, give ur characters 4 fingers, give them any anatomy you want; it doesn’t have to look real. you don’t need to know anything to be an artist, you just have to create. create what brings you joy and what you have fun creating. nothing else matters.

I keep telling myself that it’s all about love. That love is all we have. I keep screaming it from the rooftops. But love just keeps bringing me more and more hurt no matter how hard I try not to let it and I’m fucking sick of it!!! I’m tired of hurting because I try to meet other people with care and vulnerability!!! I’m so fucking tired of either having it ripped out of my arms or just never being met with it in return

just got so triggered by an 18 yo on TikTok bitching about how “no one posts 100k slow burn fanfics to tumblr anymore” and how she doesn’t want to use ao3 to find fics for herself but I’m over it and enjoying the fics I have no problem finding because I haven’t learned helplessness from algorithms xx

watching ppl rage about house of the dragon character writing feels like opening tumblr and having war flashbacks to the game of thrones fiasco all over again

While we're on the topic of De-aging AU's I wanna talk about Jason and Damian if Jason was 14 again real quick.

Do you guys think that Damian looks at this version of Jason, so different from the version he knows, nothing like the person he was told Jason was, and feels uncomfortably seen?

Damian was always told that Jason died because he was reckless, because he disobeyed orders, he was fired as Robin and he got himself killed. A cautionary tale, not a threat to his position. He dismisses Jason because Bruce does, because Dick does, because sometimes even Babs and Alfred do.

That's not the kid that he's looking at now. This Jason is happy, and smart, and full of love that has not yet soured into grief. He hangs on Bruce's every word, trains until his hands bleed and his body gives out to perfect the moves Bruce teaches him. He looks at Bruce with stars in his eyes and he calls him dad.

And Damian can't help but think, that this is the perfect Robin. The perfect son. And if Jason - sweet, loving, strong, Jason - can be fired, can die and have his room locked away and his pictures torn down, can have his last memory as Robin be as A Good Soldier, how could the rest of them ever compete? What could Damian do to stand a chance?

Jason will never grow out of the shadow of Robin, like the rest of them did. As long as Bruce, and Dick, and Babs, and Alfred look at him and see a dead kid who came back wrong, he will never get to be anything else. He will not get to be looked at through who he is now without the shadow of a dead boy looming over him.

And the worst part? Jason is exactly the same person he was back then. Bitter, sure, angry, justifiably, but he is still the boy with too much love in his heart and righteous fury festering in his gut. He is exactly the same boy who threw himself in front of an explosion to save his mother.

(The lines between the mother that betrayed him and the father that disgraced him are so very blurred. Fire or blade or crowbars or fists it does not matter. It ends the same way it always does because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe, in every timeline, Jason dies and crawls out only to be killed again and again and again.)

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.
