Vegan Rights
Damian x Sam
Damian was expecting another mind numbing gala with incompetent idiots and vapid harlots. However, his interest was peaked when he noticed a girl sneaking into the facility this gala was for, so he followed her.
Sam hated galas. Sam hated pink. Sam hated companies that abused animals, and the people that supported them. This was all three. However, her parents had threatened to ban Tucker and Danny from the house if she didn’t come, and Tucker’s parents, while great, were getting suspicious of how often they were over.
Since Sam was here, she might as well expose the terrible business practices.
She just wasn’t expecting the youngest Wayne to follow her and offer his assistance.
#vegan rights#funny#dcxdp#dcxdp prompt#they are animal rights activists#when the others find them#they will be in the middle of sabotaging this terrible company#I’m also imagining this is a company that does pharmaceutical trials on animals#so they are breaking the animals out#they are both environmentalists with anger issues#neither respects authority or rich people

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 2 - Psyche Skills
Part 1 - Part 3
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#disco elysium#MDZS disco elysium au#jiang cheng#jiang yanli#yu ziyuan#While it's more in vogue to draw a character's skill roster tailored to them -#One of the more subtle details I love in DE is how some of the skill portraits parallel character portraits of people hbd associates with.#Theres somethine rather poetic to be said about how other people shape out thoughts and sometimes act as a 'voice' in our head.#How we are in part a collection of impressions other people left behind on us.#I am a huge Skillhead (Those are my friends! My party members! They love me! They have their own agendas and alliances!)#so of course a healthy portion of this AU is dedicated to them <3#the Int skills go basically unchanged from DE. Psy as well (with changes to a few quirks in voice).#Fys skills though...well...wwx is in a different body! Those voices belong to Someone Else.#Esp electrochem (MXY in this AU also partied to near death. WWX is withdrawing and craving substances he's never even heard of before)#While I personally don't fully subscribe to Volition Jean I *do* see Volition Jiang Cheng. The voice of your Not Brother keeping you afloat#All three of these parallels make me unbelievably sad. They are also both purple. Art is like that sometimes.#Empathy Jiang Yanli...oh man do I have a lot of thoughts about her. Disco fans Who Know....you can probably see what I'm cooking.#Authority is a really interesting skill in DE because *yes* its about power and intimidation - but it's also about finesse and respect#Titus Hardie and YZY both abuse *and* finesse how they establish their authority - in a way that leaves quite an impression.#2 more mdzs disco posts that I *need* to create and then I'm off to working on raffles <3

similar cinematographic choices to portray the same imagery with insanely different circumstantial contexts
#like being tricked into a room and locked off from the outside world with a pitcher of water‚ a waste bucket‚ and an army cot#as you slowly died while experiencing acute mental distress to the point of having a psychogenic seizure at the same time#that people discussed your fate as if it were a decision they had the authority to make (and they DO. unfortunately for you)#vs being tied to chair during which you're in pretty consistent communication and under the care of the person who put you there#and you're narratively given the opportunity to hunt this person down and you even have scenes with hand to hand combat#in which you're able to properly defend yourself. for the other person the idea of your life being in danger is carefully threaded risk#to be taken rather than (as per the previous circumstance described) a decision you have the authority to make#likeee i remember reblogging this post that ssid 'supernatural doesn't really have a concept of jail' but like absolutely yes it does#sam (and even other characters like mary and rowena) are both put in 'jail' as the direct effect to a fault#wrt the winchester familial dynamic and their role. it's one of the main differences here. sam is put in jail‚ dean is not#sam does not have the authority to put him there. it doesn't help that sam is literally pleading as the victim within his scene#while dean is able to victimise sam even as the monstrous body within the 10.03 scene#and the thing is that their identities are being compartmentalised in similar ways here. dean is attempting to save his sammy#from the encroaching (invariable) monstrous sam that which he spends the next season attempting to forgive for the shortcoming#of dean perceiving sam's efforts at independence as abandonment while sam is attempting to save his dean from the encroaching mark of cain#(chosen to be put there yet is still victimised by) and sam spends the rest of the season forgiving him over and over while even#taking misattributed responsibility and blame that which has to be made up for#4.21#10.03#se referat#edit: also adding onto chii's tags wrt the differences in capacity for consent regarding demon!dean#it's so interesting to compare demon!dean to soulless!sam in that demon!dean didn't have the capacity to reject competent!dean's consent#while both soulless!sam and 5.22!sam did not consent to be resouled in respectively active and precedingly passive ways#like 6.12 sam is clearly happy and grateful to have been resurrected and he doesn't even have any specific qualms#about dean keeping information relating to his ressurection from him but 5.22 explicitly made his consent‚ or lack thereof‚ regarding#ressurection clear unlike dean in early-s10... and the thing is that the last time sam didn't pursue dean's ressurection#he faced negative consequences for that decision! and yet dean is seen as objectively correct for his actions in s6#by both the audience and narrative‚ and much of his responsibility regarding sam's psychosis isn't acknowledged as directly related#to his actions vs the pinning of blame to much of early-s10 onto sam esp relating to the guy he had summon a demon‚ who sold his own soul#despite sam's advice‚ whom demon!dean killed

Me, rambling to my wife about this crackpot theory I came up with in the shower about how Les Miserables may have been an answer to The Count of Monte Cristo, or at least could be read as such: ... But then Valjean didn't personally screw Javert over like Dantes' enemies did-
My wife: Are you sure Valjean didn't screw Javert? I thought I read that on AO3 once.
#the train of thought leading up to my statement was whether it was Valjean one could read as a foil to Dantes or Javert#'cause of Javert's whole obsession with bringing Valjean to justice#bookblr#les miserables#the count of monte cristo#anyway nothing's gonna come of this crackpot theory of mine 'cause I am no longer in school and have no more essays to write#but by golly this would be a delicious topic to write a big ol' thesis style paper on#still an English major nearly 10 years out of cool leg apparently#well both these books are French but still#OKAY BUT LISTEN the two authors were contemporaries#and maybe arguably friends? according to the bio sketch of dumas in the intro of my CoMC copy?#I would have to do more research on their relationship and also whenabouts each was writing their respective thing#cause iirc aren't both books set around the same time period as well (mid-19th century) with a lot of the action being in Paris?#anyway right#ignore me and my nerdy nerdy book thoughts#these have been rambling tags with usagi

just saw someone call dunmeshi "a show about sapphic women" i think maybe you don't actually know what dungeon meshi is about
#farcille is both a big part of the story and not because it's not canon! it has never been and will never be canon. their friendship is!#there are no canon romantic relationships outside of very minor pre-established ones#if you cannot respect dungeon meshi for what it's actually about and instead must water it down to your favorite ship dynamic#i think perhaps you've missed the point and shouldn't be speaking on it with any amount of authority#explicitly sapphic work is out there but this isn't one of those#it's subtle/implied at best. and certainly not what the series is “about”#tox.txt

Well, if you really want to know why the Steve/Sam/Bucky ship isn’t the most popular & why it doesn’t work in fics 99% of the time I’ll tell you, but I suspect anyone could figure it out if they think about it for approximately five seconds lol
Here’s a hint: The fics typically work fine for everyone except those of us who actually like and respect Sam Wilson…
#sambucky#samsteve#stevesambucky#let’s be serious for a hot second lol#half the time ppl can’t even respect sam in fics that are billed as strictly sambucky#sam wilson#i think i’ve read 3 poly fics where you could tell the author actually liked sam#and 1 of them was literally just sam dating both of them but they did not date each other - it was actually perfect

Once Brennan specified to Riz that Kipperlilly didn't have a scar I knew exactly how all the revivifying would play out. To me it makes perfect sense that Kipperlilly is the only one to stay permanently dead. Not mortalistically, but remember this is a story. Penelope Everpetal and Dayne also stayed permanently dead too. Riz shot off Buzz's fingers. The key thing is Brennan said that Kipperlilly didn't have a scar, she didn't die and then chose Ankarna, she chose to side with Porter first. Similarly to Penelope and Dayne. Where all three of them ultimately still manipulated by other forces using them? Yes. But they fundamentally chose their side because of something they wanted to gain. When Brennan made that distinction between Kipperlilly and the others, it was obvious where that was going.
Brennan wouldn't have crafted a narrative of manipulation just to kill all the Rat Grinders because that wouldn't have been very satisfying, given that we knew so little about them why would we cheer for Ivy to stay dead or Mary Ann? Remember: The cast was only talking about Atonement and revivifying Mary Ann, but Brennan revivified all the others too even though they weren't shown to have a change of heart. This is because, while possibly jerks, the others weren't set-up to be so bad that their perma-deaths would have been all that satisfying.
In contrast, Kipperlily's beef with everyone was front and center and she killed her own party member. If Kipperlilly was going to come back and be redeemed after that it would have felt cheap. Not because of something inherent to Kipperlily but because no one did the work to make that a possibility. NOW, if someone had been in her dreams and putting in the work like Fig did for Rueben, it could have worked. But people didn't put in the works. FANS have extrapolated sympathetic angles for Kipperlilly but the narrative hasn't. Remember Aelwyn's redemption only came after Adaine was exploring it. Thus, since no one explored Kipperlily's redemption, it wasn't "text," it wasn't an angle present in the narrative that would have been satisfying because it didn't develop enough to have a conclusion.
Basically: Narratives have to be set up. Some permanent consequences had to be dealt to the Rat Grinders to feel satisfying given everything they had done to the Bad Kids. Kipperlilly was shown to be the most voluntarily antagonistic, and was the one set-up as having been antagonizing them and so she was the one who had die. If the players had made different choices, thing could have changed, but they didn't and so Brennan merely delivered on what was set up before
#dimension 20#dimension 20 spoilers#fantasy high#hoping this can squash some controversy#ALSO wanting to explore different narratives (like where Kipperlilly lives) or thinking that would be a fun angle isn't the same as harping#on the cast for doing the wrong thing or at Brennan for his choices. Fanfic is all about new angles the authors didn't take!#It's important to respect BOTH the players and their choices and people's right to be curious about how alternatives could have played out#What I'm saying is that narratively the decisions made perfect sense and people acting like they can't understand why/how this happened are#maybe not really considering how a narrative is strucutured

I see the mommy kink ijigo and raise you, that + daddy kink yagago those are his parents now and he hates whenever mommy and daddy have alone time
u are SO right anon, why are mommy and daddy alone and WITHOUT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what could they be possibly need to be up to when he's not there, like there is NO necessity for it
#f.ask#yeah yeah......#like i think with ijichi esp satoru would be a bit controlling and would scrutinize with who he spends his time#(not with yaga as he does respect his authority somewhat)#and that's what leads to this situation.#oouughhghg put them both together.......... ooohhh satoru is NOT liking it#probably scolds yaga for being too soft on ijichi#and messes ijichi up for not spending time with HIM. bc HE'S his baby!!!!!! not yaga!!!!!!#jjk#yagago#ijigo#so true so true......#also i got another dadson yagago anon.....is that also u perhaps hahah 👀#yagaijigo#yagaiji

#“well i guess people change don't they?” is killing me because he attempted to kill crowley in mrs. tran's body like four episodes ago#anyway fascinating conversation that i think leads right into 8.09#“every relationship i have ever had has gone to crap at some point but the one thing i can say about benny: he has never let me down.”#in a 'why wasn't i Enough to Change For' kind of way for sam on two occasions—s4 and 7.03/7.07#like it genuinely does speak to the lack of respect dean holds for sam and sam as a person detached from himself in the sense that#because in the same way season four sam asks dean to trust him on a level that ensures sam's ability to make his own decisions about himsel#and his relationships he asks dean to not trust amy but to trust him... and does dean Does Not. just as he didnt trust or respect sam in s4#but somehow benny is both an exception beyond the things dean verbally berated into sam's values in exchange for his inclusion back into#their dynamic in 7.07 as well as an example of the higher standard that exists for sam in the sense that. sam is expected to automatically#trust benny as an extension of dean. but dean was unable to do that for sam and sam flips that back around onto dean#but the thing is that dean has the authority to have the final say about amy's life or sam's autonomy#trusting sam isn't enough because just that alone doesn't meet dean's standard of his decision making#but trusting dean should be enough for sam to trust benny. like “and you believe him?” just. its suchhh a line#because dean has never believed sam. not when he was monstrous and (arguably just as ethically) drinking blood#not in season five (in fact he says it outright!) not in season seven with his own autonomy and by extension amy#but dean expects sam to believe him after holding sam in their relationship to a higher standard than he does for himself#(expecting sam to be open about ruby amy and amelia... but not doing the same with benny until its unavoidable)#and the thing is that. this was sam's point all along! so much of his relationship with ruby vs dean revovled around the idea that he shoul#be able to have that relationship w/o opening it up to dean. but dean redefines that boundary for sam's inclusion into their relationship#and then expects different standards for himself ie. that he should be able to do so while sam does not have that privileged#speaks very much to the patriarchal structure at play here and how these characters as Third to the samndean dynamic#and their own genders play into how they disrupt the dynamic. it's just as fascinating to me#that sam eventually lets dean have his lower standard wrt his not knowing that dean goes no contact w benny after 8.10#like sam watches benny get stuck in purgatory again with the idea that their relationship had continued#8.06#adflatus

hey, i saw someone ask about fords with kids, and figured that i’d share some of the ones i’ve seen. among others, i saw:
*a ford with a smaller ford and stan
*a ford with a baby shermie, somehow
*a ford with a little clone of himself
*a ford with an odd flesh monstrosity
*plenty of fords with dippers and/or mabels
*an old ford with a mullet stan
*a ford with a letter m that looked like him
*a ford with a baby bill cipher
*a ford with a gus from the owl house (that might have been the weirdest one. when i asked how that came to be, they simply shrugged and went “the explanation is upwards of 30 hours, and we have places to be”
*a very very tired ford herding around tween dick, jason, steph, cass, tim, damian, and duke (all the robins + extras)
*a ford with a six-fingered saiyan (lab grown, of course)
and lastly, i shit you not, a ford with a young nikola. fucking. tesla. i don’t know how he even found a nikola tesla.
Interesting! I must admit that I am... somewhat jealous of that last example, but I will not dwell on it. The multiverse is truly a wonderful and mind-scrambling place.
#I GIGGLED AT THE GUS AND FORD MENTION#like what's up both of my favorites from their respective shows#the author's eager or not so eager replies#gravity falls#stanford pines#gravity falls ask blog#gravity falls rp#ford pines#ask blog#grunkle ford#roleplay

Books of 2024: Cincy Bookstore Crawl Haul!
I have spent the past thirty (30) hours whirlwinding through ten (10!!!) indie bookstores in the Greater Cincinnati Area, and I had such a great time!! I told myself I was allowed to purchase Up To One (1) book at every store, which I actually mostly stuck to--I did get two used books at the Friends of the Public Library (INVISIBLE MAN and BLACK LEOPARD, RED WOLF), because those were each $3 (so I figured it hardly counted), and two at Downbound (beloved), but one is a gift so it also doesn't really count thanks :)
Please witness: The Haul, plus bookmarks from every store (except the Friends of the Public Library and iNK).
#books#books of 2024#cincy bookstore crawl#book haul#i'm actually fairly impressed with how much i didn't spend over all lol#i wasn't anticipating quite so many used books but my wallet is NOT complaining#nabokov ellison harrow and james were used#and respectively: $5 $3 $12 and $3#CAGE le guin vo solomon and jimenez were new#but i had points to use at downbound and The Bookshelf was doing discounts at the register so both of those were Not Full Price#which means really i only bought two new hardbacks and a paperback at list price??? damn i did okay lol#ANYWAY I HAD SUCH A FUN TIME THAT WAS SO GOOD!!#i didn't hit ALL the stores but i got 10/16#love how many bookstores we have#most of them were SO STINKING CUTE TOO#oh all these authors/titles were on my list#(at least either the author or the title)#(no totally off the wall impulses!!)#i didn't get a book at the manga store or the zine store but i DID get a [redacted] and a card respectively#Financially Supporting All!!#now i gotta find shelf space for this RIP me.....

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?
!!!! def the mars house by natasha pulley! it did meet my expectations and in a lot of ways vaulted over them, because the pre-release reviews were...... rough. thankfully i found a lot of the reasons for the bad reviews (not all of the reasons, but a lot of them) to be nonissues for me. i really liked that way pulley played with gender, the pluses and minuses of living in a non-gendered world. the mammoths thing was kind of silly but in a cute way. and gale really is the most compelling love interest of the year to me. gale themarshouse call me if it doesn't work out with january.
#thank you!!! ^^#there are always Issues with pulley's books that are worth pointing out and not accepting#but overall i just appreciate the way she treats serious societal problems because she doesn't act like she's on the debate team#and she's arguing Her Side against The Other Side#instead she gets in the minds of people who actually live in that society and presents a lot of different reactions#wherein yeah the MCs tend to be the ones with more loving/'progressive' ideals#but they're never perfect. they're never Only good guys. there is in fact a lot of murder in pulleyverse MCs/LIs. and that's okay#like the society in tmh has problems!! and no one has perfect opinions or reactions because it's impossible to be 100% Right#it really does respect both the author's characters and the readers' intelligence. expects you to be able to draw your own conclusions#but also in the end these books are (imho) first and foremost romances. like they're not paperback avon romances or whatever#but they are always Love Stories to whatever degree#but yeah anyway. thx again <3

NEED to go back in time and explain the entirety of the aspectrum to the authors of this book about Doctor who. They’re trying their best but no, the doctor having developing romantic feelings for Rose did not make him no longer an asexual character.
#asexual#aromantic#doctor who#genuinely I respect the authors for using asexual to talk about the doctors at all when they were both raised in the 80s and published this#book in 2015#I just can’t read it like this
