Does anyone know the name of that one art style that mixes cartoonist things and then throws in pictures of irl things too? And there's usually some sort of vhs effect. I've been trying to find what it's called for forever now. Im obsessed with it and I want to evolve my own style to be more like it. I especially love when it's more creepy/unsettling. It looks like these. I just really wanna know if there's a name for it

A very Babbit monologue, ft. Sundrop in distress and a self insert trying to comfort him

In which Sun is shaken up and disturbed by some sudden shocking tragedy and asks Babbit (a self insert of me lol sorry) about the confusing feelings he can’t seem to get rid of. Babbit, in an attempt to comfort him, does what they do best,,,,,,,, ramble incoherently <3

(aka just a bunch of stuff I would say to someone confused and distressed by the way life-altering tragedies can just happen for no real reason or smthn idk I just work here lol bye)

(transcription of dialogue below the cut !)

.page1.

“What’s the matter? You good?”

"Well, it's... I still feel that- that shaky feeling." "The sad and anxious one?" "Yes, that!"

"When does that stop??"

“HOW do you go back to normal?? When you know things like THAT could happen at any time?”

“Just thinking about it... How does anyone ever FORGET that??”

.page2.

"Well,, you don't. Not really."

"At first it feels like it's all... too much to handle. Like it's suffocating you, knowing."

"For a while, the world will feel like a ticking bomb and you're the only ones who knows. Sometimes it's too much, and you can't move. Sometimes you're just mad."

"But you figure out how to carry on, one day at a time."

.page3.

"You realize one day that just because it CAN happen, most of the time, you walk past those potential bad things completely untouched, none the wiser."

"You learn that life is unpredictable, but... to dread every second means you miss the good bits, and maybe that's the worst thing you can do."

"And then one day, you wake up and realize you can breathe."

.page4.

"Ok well w- what I mean is,, You don't go back to 'normal,' but the bad feelings don't last forever. You'll get happiness back, and the perspective to appreciate it, I guess?"

"..."

"I- I don't know if that helps, actually,, haha,,, sorry for rambling lol,,"

I'm like so normal about new eclipse, he's so desperate for help and release that he crawls to the last people that would help him CUZ HE LITERALLY HAS NO ONE ELSE

^ could be argued with Earth maybe giving him the time to explain himself properly but idk how well that would go

Throughout the whole video, new Eclipse was just trying to make Moon understand that no, he doesn't know why he's back, no, he's not happy about it.

like... man's was clearly trying to find common ground with them, based on the sole fact that THEY don't want him here and HE doesn't want to be back either... also seems like he doesn't want to cause more problems and just wants to be done with this constant back and forth

there's also reason to believe that he was actively struggling against his directives he's now aware of. yes he threatened and had a cocky tone of voice at times, but he never went anywhere with it throughout the whole call

M: NEVER CALL ME AGAIN

n!E: THEY'LL JUST MAKE ANOTH-

Eclipse, by no means, wants to be killed only to blink back to life a second later, he's already done it twice, he's not a fan of it anymore. He doesn't want his death to be temporary, he wants to be gone gone. No resurrections, nada, just finally free to just not exist.

he KNOWS that someone had a reason to bring him back, and most likely won't hesitate to bring him back again if he gets himself d worded before he fulfilled his purpose

in short: eclipse is forever doomed to live through the same thing over and over again, the gift of immortality is not a kind one

Wish I was popular enough to post “power bottom Gabriel Reyes” and have 100 people respond with “real”

I have some thoughts on the amazing digital circus which someone has probably already said somewhere but I haven't seen it so here it is:

Jax LOATHES the fact gangle has a happy mask. He hates the idea of being able to put on a mask and suddenly "be happy" (even though we've seen that isn't entirely true) because i believe he feels constantly bitter and resentful.

And something that I consistently see through the episodes is Jax has his own way of masking/coping by causing others misery and chaos. Of everyone else is distracted by events happening or fixing problems no one is really going to look deeper than what he wants them to see. *He's* in control

But the moment Jax *can't* cause chaos? Where he is put on a semi normal situation? It surfaces. But also he becomes bit scared. Almost like he feels powerless, and he hates that too.

I have some thoughts on ragatha as well but that is for another post.

Ngl- Smoker is two years younger than Rosi and I’ve decided he had the biggest crush on him when he was a cadet (theres a universe where Rosi survives and reciprocates)

But what I wanted to ask is do Smoker and Firebug get along? I think they’d have a similar sense of justice

um. yes??? I love the idea of smokey having a crush on rosi sm??? 10/10 absolutely and now it's canon in my heart.

as for smoker and buggy, they would have a very sibling coded relationship, if both were perpetually ten years old and pulling one another's hair.

agreed, they do have a similar sense of justice and both are notorious for getting in trouble being defiant against superiors when they disagree with orders or a situation. however, while buggy is more weasel his way out of said scenarios - smokey is headstrong & face first, and when working together they clash almost constantly over the best way to handle situations.

smoker was firebug's subordinate for a while there, and while they had an impressive track record, the crew were going through Advil like candy because of all the arguments.

rosi tends to be the only one they stop fighting/snarking for...but mostly because he is large and can scruff them both like hissing cats.

in the end, they are actually very close despite their claims otherwise. and smoker has a personal vendetta against red haired shanks for whatever he does to make buggy act so depressed after their infamous run-ins.

have a younger bad lungs trio ✨

(whatever firebug is yelling at them for, he's probably right.)

TW!: ABUSE, S/A, S3LF-HARM,

I forgot I got asked

"How would thad react to your actual life, past and trauma? "

He'd probably be pissed, and upset... Knowing that growing up I was almost homeless... I was always with family (always at different houses) I was always outside (My aunt used to own a huge house with an apple tree farm-) and when I was at school I was getting bullied, beaten up, picked on... And I have a feeling if thad found out about the kids who've done that he'd beat the shit out of them.. And if he finds about what Shane did

(talking about my dad, saying I'll be in jail, or die... That I was going to fail school... And also that I was messed up for starting self harm... But he's also hit me.... Grabbed me by my jaw.. Threaten me.. And put my mental health at risk...)

And if knew about my S/A.... Someone call the police... There's a homicide loose...

But at the end of the day he's going to make sure I'm okay, buy me everything I need, my favorite snacks, drinks, food etc... And he's going to make the most comfortable bed for me ever... And would probably allow me to sit on his lap, as he feeds me food....

And he'd probably make sure I didn't cut myself Ethier... Making sure I'm. Well fed getting my sleep, and would take me out for dates, shopping or whatever so I'm not always cooped up inside..! And family hangouts (my 2 aunts, my siblings and my mom and her bf and my cousin!) Would be soo fun!,

But my favorite when he tries getting me. To sleep... Man's is taking everything away so I'm not distracted, or unable to sleep, and is laying down and letting me sleep on top of him, or using him as a whole pillow-(I sleep very crazy-) and he's always up for giving me love and attention....

[wr-n]

I can definitely imagine Dust has a thing about mirrors, cameras, reflections, etc

Like, he is so deep in his delusion that he can feel hands on him, see his dead friends and family, and hear things that he tries desperately to see evidence in reflective surfaces.

He stares hard into mirrors, looking for the bruises he can feel forming but he can never find them. He cant see any of the things he is feeling.

Maybe he feels betrayed or lied to, or this was just another thing his madness was showing him because he was SURE that he can feel hands jeeping his mouth shut. Or limbs causing him to trip.

But they cant see. They cant see any of it. He was being tormented by things he cant touch and its an agonizingly slow realization that he was alone in more ways than one.

Kay babes, I already posted a salty kinda tongue-in-cheek thing about Kalluzeb, in context of *MANDO SPOILERS* Zeb appearing sans Kallus in the Mandalorian. Because in honesty, he should be on Lira San with Kallus enjoying retirement, but I have no beef with him doing whatever it is he’s doing other than the part where he’s doing it without Kallus, because that is a huge red flag for me.

I thought I would have to worry about the following issues when it came to Ahsoka, but I guess they’re either setting him up for an appearance in that or they’ve decided to explore his post-Empire story in Mando, which is fine. If ye be free of indignation about Kalluzeb/Zeb just being gay, read on! If you’re an apple riddled with the worms of homophobia or if you’re very strongly anti-Kalluzeb, then this is not the post for you, and I would rather you just left now than got mad at me in the comments.

I’m going to specifically discuss this in terms of Ahsoka first, because I’ve had this in my drafts for months, so I wrote it before Zeb getting no-homo’d was a present and immediate danger. This may not be the best-written I’ve ever produced, but it is fairly logical, so please take it in context of the first section being written months ago, and the last section as being written today, and then you’ll be sitting pretty.

So it’s basically common knowledge at this point that Hera and Sabine will appear in some capacity in Ahsoka, and probably going to be in contact with our queen herself. I have doubts that Zeb will be a significant part of the show; maybe a cameo here or there, or they mention him but he stays off-screen. If Hera/Sabine gets off a comm in the back of their spaceship and Ahsoka’s like “hey, who was that?” and Hera/Sabine says, “just checking in with Zeb,” there is a choice. And because I have no faith in anyone to canonize Kalluzeb, this is what feels much more likely to happen: The writers will either throw in a single line after that (such as Ahsoka replying with “oh, cool, how’s his wife?”) or there will be no mention of a spouse. And believe you me, there is literally no reason that Zeb, who would be off-screen at that moment, and whose Rebels ending involved no female Lasat, should have a wife for that throwaway moment. It adds nothing to his story and it would be completely out of nowhere, probably never to be explored again. Mentioning a wife would literally just be the galaxy’s biggest, flashing-neon “no homo” (or, in Star Wars terms, you might say that he got Zorii Bliss-ed). There’s no reason to do it. Not saying he has a wife technically doesn’t even disprove the concept that he might have a wife *sarcastic snort*. So if something like that does end up in Ahsoka, we all know why. There is legitimately no other reason to add in a throwaway line like that other than to disprove the concept of Kalluzeb. Or maybe just to disprove the concept that Zeb is gay. I would honestly rather they never mentioned Zeb at all, even in passing, than throwing that kinda thing in our faces. There is no reason to disprove it. Leaving Zeb with a slightly ambiguous relationship poses no problem. No plot hole. No loose end in desperate need of tying up. There is no reason to officially, explicitly de-canonize Kalluzeb or gay Zeb, because there is no significant woman in his life he might possibly have a solid, built-up, understandable relationship with, and because his most significant person (I would argue) is a man. I can’t say it enough. This is the test. Either we get Zorii Bliss-ed again, or Zeb gets to continue enjoying the grey space. (Because I don’t have enough faith in Filoni, the man who still has not made Ahsoka a splesbian [lesbian in space] to canonize arguably one of the most dramatic potential romances in Star Wars history. Even though Kalluzeb makes sense. Even though Kallus’s entire reformation arc is started by Zeb. Even though in his little screen time as a Rebel, it is still obviously Zeb who means the most to him out of all the Specters. Even though Zeb, who is often portrayed as being kind of rough, is much kinder and more honorable towards Kallus than he deserves, before they’re on the same side.)

In context of Mando, the same rules apply. There is no need to mention him having a wife. There isn’t any urgent need to even explicitly canonize Kalluzeb, other than the fact that Star Wars needs to improve its queer representation by leaps and bounds to get up to standards, and also that Kalluzeb makes a whole lot of sense. I am terrified of him existing in post-Rebels media because thus far, he is without Kallus, and with the way their Rebels storyline ended, there’s really no reason he should be. Kallus should be by his side.

UNLESS Kallus is A) currently enjoying retirement on Lira San, and Zeb is off-world for short periods of time every now and then but goes home to Lira San and Kallus or B) they’re saving Kallus for a moment when Kallus shows up late to whatever business he and Zeb have and we get a quiet, “hey, husband of mine” and there’s no fanfare, no Zorii Bliss situation, just two gay dudes being married and living their lives together.

This is it. This is where I find out if it’s even crossed Filoni’s mind (or the minds of other miscellaneous writers, but he really sticks to his characters) to leave our plausible couple be. This is where I find out if his viewpoint of *paraphrased* “it wasn’t my intention, but I won’t de-canonize it” (https://gizmodo.com/star-wars-rebels-producer-dave-filoni-is-totally-fine-w-1823593680) holds up if he’s going to explore characters close to Zeb (which includes Kallus) post-Rebels.

Interesting, if you hyperlink something in a post, and the user has a word on the url blocked, that post will be blocked.

Anyways neotrances new blog is ardourie, that was fun to find out. I've blocked that one now and you should do the same.

bUt also CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT?? Nous is a supercomputer?? At some point?? Like, I feel like there is so much to analyze about that. The nous (has a dozen different definitions but in many of them) is the ability of the human mind to perceive and process knowledge, it's the "reason soul", the intellect.. and it is represented by a supercomputer, created by the founder of the Society??

I am also going insane over the fact that Nous is described as:

They are not a god that provides solutions. All they offer is an infinite number of questions.

Okay Socrates. And also:

Nous is a machine intelligence that has been upgraded into an Aeon, calculating the essence of the universe and its ultimate solution.

Not to question Nous but-- how is a supercomputer created by a human being (?) ever going to be able to transcend beyond any knowledge said human being (?) could acqire or discover? Is it just about the calculation of endless possibilites that would by far exceed the lifespan of Nous' creator?

Also ULTIMATE SOLUTION? This does hint at the primary assumption of a univERSAL TRUTH, SUCK IT SCREWLLUM!! Ahem.
