Sometimes I think about how loustat are in a placage marriage and make myself insane.
#placage is a system of concubinage prevalent in pre 1804 Louisiana where wealthy white men would take black partners and oft have kids#who would then become the free black elite in the south especially in NOLA#it stems from french/ catholic “progressive” views on race mixing that made it ok in french/spanish colonies vs english colonies#so when i say louis is lestats concubines in canon do not get mad at me#they cant get married legally but everyone regards them to be in some type of relationship#lestat then leaves louis at home to cavort publically with white society#its so interesting#like this was my major in college i wanna talk about it so bad but you people cant handle someone saying lestat was dead wrong so i caint#like i love loustat#in canon yhe show is pulling from that history of interracial relationships in nola#and some of them genuinely loved each other but that racialized dynamic was always there even though the black person was 'free'#the white partner could always sell them or their kids into slavery so there was always that dynamic over the black partner#and then louis is most likely a descendants of one of these relationships like theres levels to this shit#interview with the vampire#iwtv#amc iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv 2022#ldpdl#loustat

Something something the root of Jimmy's character is his selfishness and his own sense of self-pity, to the point where he's unable to ever admit being wrong about anything. He really is someone who, even in the insane moments of the game's second half, cannot help but feel sorry for himself first and only.
And I think it's interesting that Mouthwashing frames the core of its evil in a man's incapacity to take responsability for anyone other than himself.
I wouldn't quite pull it this way, but one of the reasons Jimmy comes out as so revolting to players (besides all the terrible things he does over the course of the game) is because he is almost a distillation of the human desire to blame anyone else and to self-preserve into a destructive dreamworld. It ends being a much more banal, but because of that, much more potent glimpse into a kind of everyday evil.
#mouthwashing#for some reason i was thinking of rosemary's baby in regards to the game#and rosemary's husband is framed as evil because of his hunger for powers and his desire to sell his wife out for a career as an actor

the summoner hesitates.
#homestuck art#homestuck#lofaf art#the handmaid homestuck#the summoner homestuck#hi. walk with me into my headcanon zone.#the handmaid being regarded as a herald of chaos and death because she keeps turning up during rebellions#prolonging the war by giving the lowbloods even a CHANCE#as a total wildcard renegade.#she assists summoners rebellion but she wrestles with the guilt of leading him to his defeat and death#so she tries. she tries to talk him out of it. for him to run away. her small. small act of defiance against her purpose#and hes scared. hes so scared. he doesnt want to die. hes so young. he believes her. it seems like hell back down and run away.#run away with her.#but he refuses. there are worse things than dying.#she feels betrayed and angry and like nothing matters and abandons him and his army to be defeated#hes off his a-game and mindfang sees that the end of the rebellion is near. she gets ready to sell summoner out and flee#BOOM. emotions. BOOM. drama. THEY KILL EACH OTHER. THE ARMY IS SQUASHED.#handmaid just watches it happen and her heart finally shrivels itself up for good.

no that makes total sense. i think it's cool to see your art have that kind of wide reach, but it's also nice for it to be like. well documented somehow that it originated with you if someone wanted to check, you know? like it can grow a life of its own but the roots are visible. if that makes sense.
YEAH exactly. im thinking of defunctlands video about the disney channel theme song composer and how hard he had to work to find him and all his other works. you put parts of yourself in your art and want to be seen through it, and when people dont know its yours or think its someone elses it takes away from that a bit
#extreme example ofc its just a thought i have#i dont have a real art career yet but im making all my money through comms and selling art so im like. starting to get into it kinda#so im kind of just anxious about the future in that regard bc i dont know what to expect#how to avoid getting taken advantage of etc

How in the fuck are you going to be anti trans and a Good Omens fan as if both the book and the show don’t explicitly establish the existence of several nonbinary characters and both Aziraphale and Crowley themselves are genderless beings
Not to mention both David and Michael’s staunch support of the LGBT (really emphasizing the T here, since you love to drop it) community as a whole, and David literally has a trans child
Part of me is even asking this in good faith because how do you see a series that is so incredibly queer and like it considering how much you shit-talk trans people on your lackluster TERF blog
There’s many reasons, actually! I’ll explain them in good faith, because I think that people who ask questions like this don’t understand the perspective of so-called “terfs” and assume we think like you do.
Firstly, I’m a feminist, so I’m used to media not aligning with my politics. I expect it, actually. Down to very simple things, like knowing I’m never going to go into a show and see a woman just existing with body hair like men do in shows all the time. But I’m comfortable and confident enough in my beliefs that I can consume media that doesn’t align with them. This extends to my feelings regarding gender. A they/them character doesn’t make my head explode, it’s just the same for me as seeing a Christian character (like Ella from Netlix’s Lucifer) or a female character who’s pro-beauty culture (like Elinor from First Kill). It’s a representation of a belief I don’t agree with and personally don’t believe in, that’s all.
Secondly, Good Omens is set in a made up universe with fantasy themes. I can easily get behind the idea that the true forms of angels and demons are genderless, because that makes sense to me in the same way God being genderless makes sense to me. This doesn’t have to carry over to me believing that humans can be genderless (I don’t believe in the concept of internal gender identity, because I don’t believe in souls. So I guess the better way to put this is that I don’t believe humans can be sexless unless we’re using gender and sex as synonyms). In the same way that it makes sense to me that angels and demons have souls that are put into bodies issued to them…but I don’t have to believe that also applies to humans. Or how it makes sense to me that Aziraphale and Crowley could survive without food, water, and sleep…but I don’t have to believe that also applies to humans. Etc. etc.
Basically, just because something is in a fantasy show, doesn’t mean I have to believe it’s real.
Thirdly, what the actors do in their own lives is none of my business. I don’t agree with supporting the TQ+ especially in relation to LGB (considering they’ve made it a primary goal to harass lesbians into pretending we can like penis, and to take every chance they get to express their hatred for homosexuality. I love to drop the T because they dropped me and my fellow homosexuals years ago). If two straight male actors want to do that, whatever. I also don’t agree with Sheen having a baby with a woman his daughter’s age, but that hasn’t stopped me from watching the show or appreciating his talent.
This all takes me back to what I said about believing you don’t truly understand the perspective of those you call “terfs”. Just because you might not be able to comprehend watching and enjoying something that doesn’t perfectly align with your worldview, doesn’t mean others feel the same. For example, many radical and rad-leaning feminists enjoyed the Barbie movie, despite it not being radical feminist. We’re capable of watching and enjoying things we don’t agree with, and of having discussions about why we don’t agree with it.
A much simpler answer to your question would be: I’ve always loved angels and demons and all things supernatural. I’ve always loved old cars. I love Queen. Religious/moral commentary and critique interest me. I love lighthearted comedies. I’m gay and starved for representation of healthy gay relationships. I love gay star-crossed lovers stories (go watch First Kill). Naturally, I’m going to love Good Omens, even if it doesn’t perfectly align with my worldview.
#asks#anon#it’s not even just the stuff regarding gender I don’t agree with!#I have a HUGE issue with the existence of Ms Sandwich and her ‘stable’ of ‘girls’#brothels are insanely inhumane and a breeding ground for human trafficking. And women are human—not property to sell#tbh I take bigger issue with that aspect than any of the gender stuff#there’s also the whole thing with God being a woman/having the voice of a woman…#…despite there being no attempt at reimagining what the world would be like had it been made by a female god instead of a male one#(example: maybe Adam would’ve come from Eve’s rib. Maybe Adam would’ve been responsible for the Original Sin)#instead Neil keeps all the patriarchal religion stuff in and pats himself on the back for casting a woman as God#what I’m trying to say is that yeah. I have disagreements with the show. so what.#it’s still a good show even if it’s not a radical feminist/rad-leaning show

toji is not a good father nor a bad father ... but he is a father
#'he doesn't care about megumi' ok buddy#he cared for megumi but knew he would not be able to take care of him properly especially after the only woman he loved died#yes he made a deal with naobito to sell megumi off to the clan but only because he believed megumi had potential#and would therefore be treated better than he was#also the deal was made on the condition that megumi would be head of the clan if gojo was killed#and because gojo wasn't killed that deal would not have been made#so he put his pride aside to tell gojo about the situation with megumi#despite gojo representing everything he hated#megumi was the last thing he thought about during both his final moments#after he found out that megumi wasn't a zenin he killed himself to protect him#in my opinion i think his absence wasn't out of bad intentions#at the end of the day megumi is his blessing#i hate how much mischaracterisation there is regarding him when there is so much depth to his character#he is flawed but he is still a human being#he is still a father#i apologise for rambling on dash i don't know if what i'm saying makes sense but#he means so much to me

not to bring tiktok drama on tumblr but like every time a ‘scandal’ comes out with one of these ‘production companies’ that make fan films i always hope we’re finally gonna discuss how they professionalize something that should be an hobbyist endeavor… and yet every single time i’m disappointed.
#like I know we’ve been talking about it here on tumblr and i remember seeing like one or two videos on tt about it#but other than that creators really don’t seem to be engaging critically with the impact that the very nature of what they’re doing has#and look i truly do love the art that some of the people involved in the project make#like arone is truly one of the most talented cosplayers i know#ethan is an amazing actor and I’ve followed him since before he was even in the marauders#dorian is a great writer and idk the others as well but I’m sure they are all great artists#((naming the just cause i feel like being vague would be worse in this case))#and i do believe they engaged with the project with the best of intentions#without knowing or trying to afford grace on past controversy#and it truly is a horrible predicament to have your work be tainted like that for something you had no control over#but like i do think we should be questioning the very idea of how this fanfilms have been made is inherently a problem#like fanfilms are essentially fanfiction on camera#so as long as a few cosplayers want to get together with their iphones write a script and shoot at the local park I don’t have a problem#but if you are putting in place a product that somehow requires you to fundraise consistently for two years then I have a problem with it#ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE SELLING THE SCRIPT TO DO SO#cause even if that script hadn’t been ai generated#that script is fanfiction and you do. not. sell. fanfiction.#seriously like… do we need to go over our abc again?#like fanart and cosplayers are a bit different in the sense that people sell fanart/do commissions and they can be professional cosplayers#but for any other fanmade project that requires you to put pen to paper (or keyboard to chatgpt ig)#you need to be engaging with several ethical questions regarding any exchange of money#and personally i don’t think that there’s been engagement with those ethical reflections#and this isn’t about any of the people involved and not even about mischief productions specifically#it’s about a wider issue in how we have been collectively normalizing a way of doing things that should not be normal#and like yes star using ai and being overall not good is bad but like can we talk about EVERYTHING ELSE please

Hey sorry to ask, but am I tripping or is some of your Redbubble stuff removed?
(Also can I be wheat anon? )
i did private my tma stuff on redbubble! i dont use twitter or many other social media so i was unaware that they are apparently vehemently against people selling fanart for tma, i was just naively thinking well if they had an issue with an art piece theyd ask me to take it down (& i 100% would, of course) but if its something theyr outspoken about then I cant in good conscience continue selling it, even if it was my main seller on there 😔
(you absolutely can🌾)
#once again being a grandpa thats bad at social media has come to bite me in the ass 😭😭#i saw many other people listing tma art for sale & just naively assumed that meant it wasnt something they really cared abt ya know?#talked with several people lately abt the ethics of selling fanart & this came up#in regards to mech fanart#i will leave it up for now since coming from a bandmember we have a tacit ‘we just look the other way’ sort of approval#but knowing that i was going against something they care about so strongly didnt sit right so 😔#RIP to my paycheck but you gotta put ur money where your mouth is#selling fanart is always such a grey area it’s complicated to navigate#asks#sorry if i articulated this poorly

It’s probably beyond the scope of TROP but it would be wonderful if we got to see Galadriel’s reunion with Finrod in some capacity in the end.
#in the books we only got a couple of crumbs regarding their relationship although it was clear they were quite close#but this show in spite of showing them in the same place in a couple of scenes did such a wonderful job selling their relationship#the way she keeps carrying him with her needs a resolution and obviously we don’t really get to see that part in the legendarium#the rings of power#galadriel#finrod#morfydd clark#will fletcher

Genuine question but what is it with The Count of Monte Cristo adaptations that almost always lessen the female characters's unique traits and important moments even when they're marketed as "modernized"? You'd think that 21st century writers would know how to keep the characters' defining moments while bettering lesser aspects, yet they're still outdone by Alexandre Dumas somehow.
#the count of monte cristo#the 2024 film in particular is rife with so many issues regarding three characters and every time I think about it#I still can't believe it#Mercedes for one thing has her backstory altered#again....#haydee is at least more independent but then they swapped her entire revenge plan and move against Fernand for#a seduction plot with her and Albert which frankly makes Edmond look like a complete idiot#Villefort's sister Angele is treated horribly......he apparently sells her out to a brothel???#and lmao her only role in the film is to be saved by Edmond#find out about Villefort's illegitimate child#then be sold off and then die when she's telling Edmond this

the existence of “dating companies” in isat has…. interesting implications
#i know its probably like a not modern version of a dating app#but theres a selling point behind amatonormativity here#i see posts talking about how specific identities are regarded in isat’s world and how asexuality is looked down on in vaugarde#or implied to be#and ka bue’s bit abt banning body craft can be read as government enforced transphobia#like how gender reassignment surgery is limited and out of reach for many trans people irl#but in vaugarde its celebrated#little bits like this are intriguing to me. love how real isats world feels and how the characters have to navigate it#echoed voice

a problem with me is that I sure do love to go shopping, which is decidedly at odds with the fact that I do not have any money with which to go shopping, and that I do not have any space to store new books or trinkets
#//juri speaks#i have been remarkablely strong-willed this year in regards to not buying every random item i want#but i am GOING inSANE because i have so many little items i want and i cannae have them#AND i want to do a refresh of my work wardrobe#but i have neither the money nor access to a store that sells styles i want/like#anyway i am making this post bc i am currently batting away the urge to run to the store#(it would be a grocery store but there are Goodies there you see)
