getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

Mind melding is such a cool ability for all it’s used exactly Once.

Like do Raph and Leo ever talk about that. Do they ever think back like y’know that was kinda cool how the heck did we do that.

Rewatching some episodes of Avatar in my sick state...and man, that silent sequence with Zuko where he sneaks into the Northern Water tribe is still like, the coolest thing. I remember being so impressed with it as a kid because it really made you feel the struggle he was going through to not freeze to death and it was so rare for cartoons to have totally silent sequences like that (minus Zuko briefly yelling at animals) where you were just feeling nothing but the intensity of the life and death struggle. It also just gets across how relentless and tenacious he is, entirely visually.

There's kind of the anime influence there because kids cartoons at the time were all bangbang next piece of dialogue, whereas a Ghibli movie would trust itself to be engaging enough that you could just sit with what the animation was saying.

Plus it was just such a cool firebending effect with the breath of fire and his hands heating up and breaking through the ice...

It's such a small sequence, but it just kind of captures what made the show special, in a way, and I think that kind of sticks with me.

Petition for the High Lords, if ever they get surnames, to have the most pretentious long ass names ever.

Like High Lord Tamlin Conchobar Macdara Kevin Mathgamain of the Fallen Court of Spring, Son of High Lord Celyddon and his mate Lady Margret, first of his name, the Ever-Shifting Prince or something absolutely ridiculous like that

IDK I can't explain it, I just need it.

in regards to the constant dismissal of his aroace identity, i hate it when alastor 'fans' say and use the excuse: "he's fictional, he won't get offended."

like, you're right, but it can and will offend us.

when you see yourself being represented on screen, of course you'd feel enthusiastic about it — representation allows individuals to see themselves reflected in the media they consume, validating their identities and experiences. but when so many people take that representation and decide to disregard and discard it, it is so fucking frustrating. we finally have another character to be part of the tiny amount of representation we have, but then people don't even care about how much it means to us? like yeah, alastor won't get offended because he's not real, but it frustrates and annoys us. do you realize that it's also technically invalidating the aroace community? that you're invalidating our feelings? imagine feeling like you're finally being seen because your orientation is finally being represented in media, and people just decide to blatantly ignore, discard, and invalidate it.

media has such a powerful influence on real life, representation being a prevalent factor of it. there are numerous posts that dictate how people went to watch a movie/show or read a book just because a character depicts their identity in it — obviously, being represented is an incredibly uplifting and validating experience.

which is why seeing an aroace character in a popular show is so meaningful to us because we live in a world where romance and sex are literally everywhere and prioritized above all else. (and it's pretty obvious that alastor's on the repulsed end of the spectrum, but even if he wasn't, at least make an effort to acknowledge his sexuality instead of continuing to portray him as allo; aroace folks can be in relationships but it's not going to be the same thing with allos' experiences.)

any and every representation matters, but why does that seem to stop at people under the aroace spectrum? like y'all can't even let us appreciate the scraps of representation we have. we barely have any, so are we really that dramatic for being upset at how people easily disregard and dismiss our identities that are being depicted on screen just like that? is it truly wrong of us to want to defend and maintain the little representation we have?

Once more I am rotating both @phoenixcatch7's Possessed Doll Au, and our Meat Marionette Au.

And I am specifically pondering things like the JL magic users' first encounter with the dolls/meat marionettes. Especially those that can see magic or souls.

Because Gotham? Universally acknowledged it's already fucked up. Like there's literal death pits, gravity doesn't work in some places on certain days, whole streets disappear for weeks, hell portals have been opened up (this is literally all canon, no joke) and that's just the tip of the iceberg for a normal month there.

So look, they were honestly expecting some funkiness with a Gotham vigilante. But this? What the fuck is this? They- genuinely, that's horrific-

Huh? No they're not talking appearance wise, that's pretty par for the course actually, no they're talking about whatever the fuck... How is it moving? How is it alive when it's like an amalgamation of all.... that?!

What the Fuck created that thing?!
