I am in rarepair hell

Reference pose by Ed van der Elsken : Couple Sleeping, 1953

#Persona 3 #Mitsuru Kirijo #Shinjiro Aragaki #shinjimitsu #persona 3 reload #persona 3 portable #persona 3 fes #really hate how tumblr only recognizes the first 5 tags. hate prioritizing one of 3 instead of all but more people would see #especially portable my beloved #i started shipping them when i noticed localization in portable has them on a first name basis #like they fought side by side for years having each other's backs and all. makes sense that aki is close to them but #you never see them interact with each other. so what was the dynamic between them all? and then it just kinda devolved into #wtf would mitsuru and shinjiro even WANT to talk about? fighting strategy? fancy food? boring. they shall kiss instead.#reload barely did anything to expand on them also. so that's reloads 3rd biggest crime #was gonna swap out the booth for a couch or something but woman in ref looked like she needed booth walls for like structural comfort #highly recommend following the link to look at the photo btw. most romantic and peaceful thing I've ever seen in my life.#my art cant do the original justice seriously. not that i was trying to-this is just for funsies. and bc i need all the practice #my art #huge fan of saturated shadows if you haven't noticed #i did not know the ship name i had to look it up #my fave part was adding the shine to shinjiro's coat accents. i think it turned out nice #i think the hands turned out really nice too- universal art struggle #if i post this and notice later that there was something i forgot to do i might hit my head against the table. shit took like 2 weeks to do #like no more... plz... my attention span can only handle so much #im already mad enough at myself. i forgot to time myself and see how long this actually took #cursed beanie absence. no beanie allowed... i needed to practice hair shinnies.. he looks so weird and vulnerable without it.#plus how is ur gf supposed to run her fingers through ur hair while you slowly fall asleep in her arms if u got the beanie on???? c'mon...

I wanna know ur Fontaine msq criticisms 👁️👁️👂I’m all ears

I'm not sure if you wanted me to talk about this secretly or publicly but! Here I go!

The TLDR: Fontaine MSQ aestheticised prison, poverty, child abuse, the justice system/court and didn't properly address any of it.

More:

Focalors/Furina has way too much of a sympathetic angle for a dictator who's lets people drown with her inaction.

Neuvillette feels Bad for sentencing some people to death/prison, but that's it. He's one of the most powerful people in Fontaine. If he felt like there are systemic injustices, I.E sending an abused Child to prison, he should be the first person to DO something about it, not just cry and be sad so the audience can be like aw, that's complex character writing isn't it? No it's not! And guilt doesn't absolve you!!!!!!! (These are stuff we deal with in OTCOJ read my fic now /j)

Meropide has children in it, both Sentenced there (Wriothesley) and BORN THERE (Lanoire), and this is just a quirk of the place. Not only that, Meropide accepts prisoners of all genders and crimes. There are abusers and abuse victims in one place. Do you know how bad that is? How much potential for crimes to happen in a place like that— oh wait, Meropide isn't under Fontaine's jurisdiction. If you are assaulted as an inmate it literally means nothing to the court.

Wriothesley had no qualifications when he took over. Depending on how long he lived on the streets, how old he was when he killed his parents, how old he was when he was first taken in by the orphanage, etc, the man might never have more than 4–5 years of formal education. Sigewinne probably had to teach him how to write reports. And do Meropide's spreadsheets. Edit because I forgot to elaborate on this one: This isn't a point brought up anywhere, which is bad, because when poverty and incarceration robs you of a proper education (and the rights to vote in many places too, too, by the way), it reduces your prospects for jobs, reduces many people's ability to get a home etc etc. Wriothesley was just, narratively, Given his position.

Meropide is an industrialized prison, and they portray this as a good thing. Prisoners are paid in coupons for their labour, and this is also portrayed as a good thing.

The One-Meal-A-Day reform was something Paimon gushed about being so great of a perk, that people might want to go to jail for food (could be interesting and reflective of systemic poverty if MHY had brains, but they don't, so I was just Pissed because essentially all Paimon wanted to say was "Prison isn't so bad, but still don't go to prison guys! Prison labour is really hard!"). By the way, in most real-world prisons they are obligated to feed you three meals a day. Because that's how much food a human needs. MHY went with one meal just so they can say "if you want to eat more, you have to work." And then the welfare meal is a goddamn gacha. So imagine you're a starving child who's too weak to work in the fucking robot assembly line, and you wander up for your first meal in 24 hours, only to luck in with a shit one. I'd kill myself.

They wrote Wriothesley, who's a victim of the system, into a guy who's say shit like "I'm the Duke I can do whatever I want" for a cool moment where he choke-slams an inmate (I know he was a bad guy. But also, in copaganda when cops are violent/disregarding protocols, they are always only portrayed to do that against bad guys, so what does our critical thinking tells us about this one?) They wrote Wriothesley, who was an inmate of a prison so bad, so notorious that it is the literal boogeyman of Fontaine, that has a legal (???) fighting pit, with an administrator who abuses his position to be unreasonable, to willingly stay in the place and become an Administrator who would choke-slam an inmate while saying a cool line about how he has the power to do whatever he wants. They wrote him, the guy who had to be fed on the streets by melusines, to think one-meal-a-day was a good enough reform (while he spends god-knows how much on his boat). This wasn't a victim-turns-into-abuser narrative either, they want all this to be seen as positive character growth.

And then, the final kicker is, they gloss over his entire abuse. You can only read about these shit in his profile, which most people don't because they don't Have Him or doesn't care to unlock it/read it online, and they jammed his entire backstory into a flaccid info-dump at the end of his character story quest. This man isn't Allowed to feel abused and neglected and show any reaction to it within the narrative of Fontaine itself, because if they actually Gave Weight to what happened to him, they'd have to confront THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM they had NO PLANS on criticising. I don't think they ever explicitly said the fucking Crime-Theatre nonsense was Bad either.

I could go on, but this is already so long. But yeah, I hope this gave you an idea.

#and then. and im putting my most controversial opinion in the tags bc im scared lmao. but like... then... you have the fans..... doing......#the same fucking thing.#the amount of times I have seen Wriothesley used as just a side prop for Neuvillette to feel bad about shit. While Wriothesley is just.....#portrayed as having the inner peace and acceptance of a fucking monk. I was shocked when I read some fics I swear #they really said this man has no trauma at all! the stuff in his past? he's over it!#i hate that passivity when writing victims. like ok if One is written like that #sure. but MHY write all their victims like this #I mean look at fucking Lanoire #and Neuvillette sentenced him to prison after he killed his parents who were never confronted by the law. That's canon.#that's more canon than WRLT itself.#why weren't they confronted? did wriothesley try to talk to someone about it? why did he feel like killing them is his only option ?????#at least have there be some sort of conflict and friction there. How does Wriothesley feel about the court and Neuvillette when #this is the literal system that allowed all that shit to happen to him in the first place???#are you Sure he won't be at least a little wary? the fact that some people think he's Grateful to Neuvillette or even idolises him is crazy #because the man literally subjected him to prison. and if you want to portray his prison life as easy breezy and trauma free #you undermine his entire shitty little 'prison reform' narrative #and if you think he'd be completely 100% accepting of the justice system. Then why the fuck would he kill his parents himself #don't you see that the whole 'I'll accept whatever sentence in order to kill my parents' thing in itself is an act of defying the system #and I Hate #this idea. about being some of the most powerful men in the nation. and yet they can't fucking TRY to set up a better system or smth #i can't believe I read a fic where leaving starving street kids croissants is the most they (the characters and the writer) want to do #like. what the fuck. the whole point of that scene is just to make neuvillette feel bad and be like aw......... poor people exist.... OK???#this is literally how MHY would portray him though.... tbf..... This is what ppl would argue as 'in character'#I just think the character they're in is bad.#I will say I'm giving the fic a lot of grief. there's more to the scene than that. and. ultimately.....#fanfic is (saying this through gritted teeth) ........ recreational....................and free........... in the end.................#i dont think this is reflective of the writer. I do think it is reflective of the way the canon material (genshin impact)#presents in the audience who consumes it. most fans only want these guys to fuck anyway. not think about systemic injustices #canon doesn't make it about the systemic injustices either so why should we. the aesthetic of slums and prisons are just there for fun guys #IM JUST CRAZY OK. I SHOULDNT EVEN BE HERE THIS IS NOT FOR ME . I DONT CARE THAT MUCH FOR PEOPLE FUCKING AND I CARE TOO MUCH

Gosh, this Daye/Nigar scene is just so great. Daye knows about Nigar having kissed Ibrahim for quite some time now, but she doesn't berate her for it. She waits until after the wedding to talk to her and comfort her, attempting to convince her in this strict yet nurturing manner that she'll be better off with Matrakci; that she'll be better off married and with the new family she'd create (even if that means being with someone she doesn't love). She'd be better off taking care of someone, being surrounded by people she's fond of (like the future children in her arms) or might grow fond of sooner or later (like Matrakci) in her own home instead of withering alone in the ruthless cold harem that she and Daye might be too used to but it still isn't fully theirs, it can't be. Daye may have Valide but she's still alone. Nigar may be sought by many but she's still alone. Nigar and Daye's entire fates hinge on these people and it's uncertain what other cruel order, what other unbearable appointment in which palace will they issue next. Marriage seems like the one way for Nigar to get out of this unending circle to Daye as she at least can still do that. And the love and sadness and pain possibly residing in her heart? They may hurt but even they can be forgotten "with time" (oh look at that, yet another character having the "moving on with time" coping mechanism!), they have to be for her own good. This is what has apparently helped Daye to cope with any pain, so it should help Nigar as well. This is how Daye has forgotten, moved forward and latched onto what's left to her with knowing resignation, so Nigar should do so as well. And here is Nigar who still tries her all to keep it together in these last few days, weeks, months, but barely manages it. She can't let anyone else find out about the full extent of what concerns her, as she may really be done for then; she's burdened with that secret forever, with her feelings that won't have a response, as this is what Ibrahim had repeatedly demonstrated to her up until then (little did she know, though...). She can't even end it all, having to keep on in an uncertain, forced upon her marriage which seems like the only thing that can make her forget, but it isn't, she never thought it was. It just adds more salt to her wound, it only brings her more pain. Yet the one person she breaks in front of is Daye. In this moment, she's the one who she trusts the most and the one who provides at least a little understanding, at least a little guidance despite of it all. So she leans on Daye while she reveals her own turmoil, unaware that Daye also knows more about Nigar's turmoil than Nigar realizes and that might be also why she's saying all of those things. They both empathize with each other's turmoils. They both are moved, letting themselves go to an embrace. It lasts only for a short while but that's precisely where its power lies: there can be one short moment before they have to assume their roles again, before everything is to proceed as planned.

#(this scene also shines a new light on Hürrem's offer to Daye regarding the mansion in Catalca in E40)#(she obviously gave it a thought in spite of not giving in as deep down she's unfulfilled in the harem and wants a safe life)#(but she has accepted what she has in the harem too much so she can't let go just for the mansion; the only thing she can surely act on is #her moral compass and sense of justice as this is the identity she's forged this is what's left her; Hürrem's innocence is most important)#(Daye sticks to her morals but is too loyal too protective of her closest)#(and when she can finally live her last years in peace when she finally goes to that mansion she can't help but feel only loneliness #as no one really liked her there and she went through an ambush before and she was left with no one anyway; only the baggage of #the secret she didn't tell remained. she lost her closest person in order to protect her other closest person. and that guilt can't help #but linger when even the last chance of peace is taken away from her - and even *before* Valide's tragedy too - and she has nowhere to go)#but just... Daye loves Nigar and Nigar loves Daye and this scene sets up both their supportive relationship and its tragedy soo well #in spite of them both hoping everything to end right then and there it all continues in its fullest force #but they'll still be there for each other no matter how Nigar's situation becomes more hopeless and how much Daye reprimands her #magnificent century #muhteşem yüzyıl #muhtesem yuzyil #daye hatun #nigar kalfa

You know, with the fact that Ryn went and got herself petrified within a day of finding out just how willing the Ruby Vanguard are to fuck a wizard up, I do think that, while the bar is very low, Essek (as he is during the course of the campaign) really does deserve some credit for never ending up in such a self-imposed pickle that he needed his allied party to show up and save him from himself. In fact, the only time the Nein directly felt the need to worry about him was when Caleb put him in danger without thinking through certain connections that would be made, and even then, that was more of Caleb feeling guilt-ridden about it than actual worrying.

And to be very clear, Essek absolutely was and still to this day in canon is in a massive, self-imposed pickle, but when it actually comes down to it, the Nein were pretty tangential and superfluous to navigating that, and he's predominantly doing the work himself.

#anyway justice for essek thelyss's wisdom score. 😔#I do think it's higher than one would expect.#look at both caleb and percy. no shoddy wisdom scores there! still touch things that really should not be touched.#sometimes high intelligence just overrules the wisdom score and that's all there is to it.#like! essek would have just peaced if he was found out!#hilariously he even like. asks very little of the nein on behalf of the court in the course of being their handler.#they mostly do the most buckwild shit and he just teleports them around.#gave them a house and some pretty chill work through waccoh and then like. mostly let them bop around wherever lmao #barely asked questions about wtf they were up to #tbt when they were like 'yeah can you teleport us to a dragon in the middle of the arctic' and he was like 'you're insane but sure lol.'#this is not serious do not come whine to me about it. I do not wanna hear it. I have to go back to writing now I just had the thought.#critical role #essek thelyss #cr spoilers #(for ryn mention lol)

I hate when something looks like it would be RIGHT up your alley and the cast is pretty stacked, but there's one person in said cast who is just. Genuinely a horrible human being.

#and then for the sake of. not giving that one person my time or attention or anything. I see no way beyond just not watching the thing #OBVIOUSLY the focus should be the people who were hurt by said horrible human being #that IS in fact the important consideration here #I guess this is more...really just the fact that it happens so often?#because there are COUNTLESS examples to draw from of this particular type of Horrible Behavior and similar variations of it #like the entertainment industry is just. SO bad.#and that makes it unsafe for the people WHO ARE LITERALLY JUST TRYING TO MAKE ART #(and tangentially makes it harder for other people to engage with that art or acknowledge the work those other Not-Horrible people #put in. like congratulations you did direct and lasting harm to others. which in and of itself is a point of condemnation--the MOST #IMPORTANT point of condemnation. and then ON TOP OF that. extraneously. to add insult to injury. you secondhand-ruined #the experience of other people partaking in the sharing of and engagement with art.)#'well mc13 you could just watch it anyway it doesn't have to be done through streaming'#maybe other people could do that but I personally cannot handle engaging with this at all. it would stress me out and sicken me to #the point where there wouldn't be anything good to come out of watching it. I PERSONALLY cannot make peace with that.#I have...a LOT of thoughts on the idea of 'separating art from artist' and maybe I'll scream about them someday. but I do recognize that #there IS some nuance to the discussion when it comes to like...idk. people who have been kicked out of a project and then replaced once #their behavior came to light. or artists who are dead and cannot gain any kind of benefit from people engaging with their work anymore.#and looking at things considering the severity of the behavior in question and whether it seems like reformative justice is possible #like I do think there are things to be talked about. I agree there can't be One Magic Answer For All Cases Ever.#but the fact of the matter is...the hard line for what's actually unacceptable is...virtually nonexistent. and that shouldn't be the case.#this is past MY hard line. which yes does make it inconvenient in the sense of 'I cannot engage with a thing that sounds interesting' but #mostly I am just reminded over and over again of how insidious this industry is and how easily people get fucked up by it and it just...#it's so bleak. I don't want people to suffer when they're trying to make art. I don't want people to be unsafe. I remember when *I* was #experiencing those things and everyone around me was experiencing those things. I do not want ANYONE else to have to #go through that. EVER.#(<-this isn't like. COMPLETELY related to my previous post. I'm trying to organize my watchlist and I'm gonna. have to make some changes.)

in other news, aubree does not know it yet but she is now a level one paladin and I have all of the feelings about it

#I literally can't verbally talk about it too much I get choked up #what if your desire to offer kindness and peace and justice and mercy to anyone you can was so powerful it manifested as divine magic!!#what then!!!#what if you resolved so strongly to become a better person just to be worthy of the responsibility to do right by others!#what if you felt-- for the first time-- the real weight of the responsibility of doing real and meaningful good in a complicated world #and took up that weight in bith hands without question! without hesitation! with no fear except that you might not be worthy of it!!#what then!!!!#😭#when I BUILT her I knew she was lowkey paladin flavored but #as the plot unfolded she became unexpectedly aligned with a god that didn't make sense to Be A Paladin Of per se #and then the cavalier subclass was released and gave her a lot of the protective flavor I wanted and I was satisfied #but this story has put her through so many transformative experiences that have expanded her worldview and recontextualized her own values #that now she's a warrior of light SOLELY on the strength of her own convictions! because she believes SO STRONGLY in doing the right thing #at any cost-- because doing meaningful good is so much more complicated than she ever realized but it's NEVER been more important #shit-kicker asshole bar brawling fighter blazes with holy light out of her own overwhelming desire to reach out her hands to heal #I fucking cry. I cryyyy I love her so MUCH #my OCs #aubree

I think it's really likely phee and jin happened bc they were both rebounding from non and maybe they caught feelings maybe they didn't maybe phee is feeling guilty for that but like to ME regardless of how bad they feel abt it they're fucking on non's dead body and I'm petty enough to put away critical thinking and appreciating the nuances of media to wish them a very die

#dff the series #dead friend forever #I GET IT I GET IT ik what yall r saying yes them as a pair can b interesting asf and if i wasnt a non girlie id be all over it but god #my nonnie deserves better #this is just the final nail in the coffin like #this is nons 13th (20th) reason #imagine going through all of THAT and then ur ex bf is fucking the guy who filmed u getting raped and dragged u back into a group #that was abusing u constantly when u were abt to leave it #like #yall r built different i simply cant hack it #i cant compartmentalise and not be disgusted of the non of it all in order to enjoy them #like there will always be 3 of u in that relationship and we all know it #i can't force myself to not be disgusted by them and it's required to feel any reaction besides auto recoil to the thought of them together #ur relationship is paved with sins and corpses how can u be together and have peace knowing every moment will be haunted by it #i dont wanna see them forgive themselves and eachother and be together bc its SO UNFAIR TO NON #and i simply cant get over that if i wanted hard reality i wouldnt b watching a gay slasher its just so unsatisfying #its unsatisfying to end it like thst with no justice for the victim #yes theres a compelling story there abt that dynamic between them but this isnt the show to explore kt #theyve put too much emphasis on the victim to go there #i understand the sentiment but a story like that doesnt go like this. this isnt the way u write a story like that & explore those themes #like the majority of the audience isnt wanting that theyre rooting for non BECAUSE of the way its been set up & written #the past and the actions against non r the focus not phee and jin dealing w the aftermath in the present

I appreciate you, too. I have harm OCD also, and have been through deprogramming from radicalism in my teenage years.

I always love hearing from people who have come back from extremist ideology, it reminds me that this work is making a difference. We aren't just speaking into the void 👏

Every time you speak up about this you're potentially doing the same for someone else, you will one day be a marker on their journey, too.

Kol tuv and have a fantastic new year.

thank you so much 💕 coming out of the pipeline was a difficult process and i wish i hadn’t started on the pipeline in the first place, but i truly hope i can someday help others out of it like jumblr helped me. there need to be more people speaking up for genuine peace in the region instead of just baselessly hating one side or the other and i’m proud to no longer be in the latter camp. kol tuv to you as well, and happy new year!!

#no matter how tough examining and undoing some of these thought processes has been #and how many people (rightfully) will not be able to forgive my past perspectives #becoming a better person and joining the fight for a better world is always worthwhile #there is one less antisemite in the world now (me!!) because of the people advocating for real peace and justice #who were able to get through to me. i will forever be grateful for that #weemietime #ask #not really sure how to tag this but #deradicalization #leftist antisemitism #no longer holding rancid opinions gang

It’s very interesting seeing the contrasts between watching The Monkees as a kid, and watching The Monkees being the age of Mike, Peter, Micky, and Davy in the show.

I’m trying to do a lot of the kinds of things The Monkees are: paying rent, getting money, getting food, and for me, the added struggle of being an autistic person while navigating the crazy social and financial time we’re in.

It’s been a comfort being back into this show, getting to grow with the boys in a different way than I did when I was eight or nine. Seeing them going through similar things as I am gives that sort of little adulthood crutch on top of the kiddiness of it all. They don’t always get what they need to right, but hey, peace not war, and money is the root of all evil, right?

Anyway, all four Monkees are neurodivergent, and I can project myself and all of my struggles onto their little polycule, because I’ve grown up watching 60s television, and nothing and nobody can stop me. I’ll dress like Peter Tork and sing the Gilligan’s Island theme song with Scooby Doo on in the background like I’m eight again, using my childhood and my new self in tandem because isn’t that just how it needs to be sometimes?

The show makes me feel good, like i��m not alone in it all, y know? Like my friends are still there, these four crazy boys i’ve known basically all my life. They’re some of the characters who helped me through all the crazy shit I went through as a kid, who I could escape with in my head into all their little antics and love for the world and each other.

And if we look from the logic of the 1997 reunion special, that show could still be going on somewhere, and I think it’s going on through all of us.

Anyways, that’s all. Just thinking about this a lot recently. I really do love The Monkees.
