Do you like sci-fi and indie animation? Check out Monkey Wrench!
#monkey wrench#digital art#This series is very delightful and also in need of more attention!#Usually I would ramble about why love it - however I am going to go a little off the rails and talk about something else.#Namely that this is a gift for a very dear friend who loves this series a lot! One of my favourite people of all time!#Thank you for so many things. For keeping me going when times are dark. For sticking by in the hard times.#Thank you for the incredible soup and the fun moments! For the great recommendations on series.#I sometimes feel like I should thank the universe for letting our paths cross when they did.#It feels cheesy to say all this but I really am such a better person because of you.#Thank you for reading all my silly comics even though you have *no* idea what is going on in them. It means a lot.#My gift of a silly doodle and hopefully getting a few people to check out this show is not adequate to express my gratitude.#But hey - we've got the rest of our lives to keep saying thank you.#Love you lots mate. Can't say it enough B'*)

original thief series basso & garrett :)
ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels
there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.
anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app
#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories#are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox#anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun#to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people#the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying#it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell?#but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks#and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower#because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism#(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here#in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top#of those themes instead of through it)#ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting#SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT#unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable#thief the dark project#i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP#sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know#garrett thief#basso thief

Malevolent gods
Are better than none
#panic in her song lyrics era???#maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#overall i think crisis actors is a pretty great song but GOD do these specific lyrics live in my head rent-free.#the idea that it's more comforting to believe the world is controlled by known malicious forces than to accept bad things just happen.#and that they're out of anyone's control.#something super relevant to today's political climate and it's expressed really well in this song.#um anyways#kirby series#void termina#hyness#dark matter kirby#francisca kirby#flamberge#zan partizanne#oh also yeah this is a real drawing version of that doodle i posted yesterday. lol#panic's favorites

I haven’t said this enough recently but I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone…or idk…whoever sees this post…
That I love Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thank you.
#that man is a disaster and he is the best#i love him and all his infinite sadness and regret and trauma and heartbreak and failures#and anxieties and worries and self loathing and self doubt#all his hubris and sarcasm and snarkiness and sassiness and flirtiness#and how everyone who meets him either falls in love with and/or wants him dead#i love him for all his negotiating and meditating and nerdiness#i love his ability to befriend everyone he meets and his love of animals and all living things and how hard he tries to hold onto hope#his desperate need to be good enough and his love of adventure and his tendency to get kidnapped and his hatred of flying#and above all i love him for the endless love he carries inside of him#how he fought so hard to never give up on anakin and how he spent the rest of his life watching over his kids#how he learned to be himself again after spending time with a feisty ten year old leia#how he softly cried as qui gon and satine died in his arms and how he refused to be the one to kill anakin#how he saw padme and anakin in their kids and how they reminded him to have faith in whatever remaining good there was left in the galaxy#this man had this insane life and went through so much and somehow never fell to the dark side#even when he and the ones he loved were always at the center of all that damn tragedy#yeah i love obi wan#star wars#obi wan kenobi#the clone wars#a new hope#the phantom menace#attack of the clones#revenge of the sith#obi wan kenobi series#star wars original trilogy#star wars prequel trilogy#kate's post

okay sorryyyy long ramble about the dark beginnings teaser/sxs gens in general incoming. i feel like what we see in the teaser is . well "not real" probably isnt the right way to put it but i dont think its an actual direct flashback to shadows past. i think that shadow is trapped in his own memories. most obvious evidence for this is that the whole story of sonic generations is sonic revisiting his past adventures because of the time eater and eggman messing up the timeline so it makes sense that shadows story which is happening at the same time would be a similar situation. also theres these weird glitchy effects at certain points in the teaser which i think are meant to imply something isnt right here
also sidenote absolutely Haunting how maria grabbing his hand is what triggers it and we specifically see gun soldiers among the glitches. anyway. shadow also noticeably gasps/flinches when it happens which makes it seem like he saw it too
also based on all the promotional stuff we've seen so far black doom seems to be the main antagonist of shadows campaign. and its shown in shadows game that black doom has some level of access to shadows mind/memories and will use that to his advantage. like he literally made shadow watch the ark raid again and went "look what they did to you arent humans terrible". so this does feel like something hed be willing to do . or maybe its not Just black doom doing this maybe part of it is also caused by the time eater but the emphasis on black doom makes it seem like hes at least partially responsible
and speaking of black doom i dont think that he literally came back from the dead i think that the timeline being messed up just allowed him to show up again despite being dead. unless theyre gonna reveal that he survived somehow but idk him showing back up after all this time Specifically in a time travel related game makes me think he did die
idk how to end this post. shadow wasnt at sonics party because he was busy reliving his trauma for the millionth time
#also considering sxs gens is meant to act as an easily accessible recap of shadows lore#and we know that dark beginnings is gonna be a 3 episode series not just one single short#maybe each episodecould be focused on a different game/point in his life#like episode 1 could be about when he lived on the ark but the other 2 are about all of the games hes had a major role in#like sa2 06 heroes etc#sonic x shadow generations#sonic x shadow generations spoilers#also forgot to mention it but theres also literally levels in shadow the hedgehog that are set in shadows memories#so this sor tof thing isnt unheard of

I'm listening to the audiobooks of the His Dark Materials series again. I've read / listened to them many times but not for a few years.
Gods it's just hitting me again how awful what's happening to the kids in the first book. It's always awful, but I always forget how scary and visceral it is. You feel the fear and the finality and the tragedy of it. It's hard to even comprehend because we don't really have an equivalent in our world, right? Like maybe traumatizing a child so deeply they're never the same and then die. Die from sheer trauma to their spirit and body.
And it's just hitting me that they not only.... so deliberately ruin these children. They leave them out in the cold frozen woods to slowly die. They just. I can't even put it into words. They just ruin them and throw them away. They kill them and then kill them again.
Of all the characters in this vast series of names and places and tragedies and injustices - this little boy named Tony and his Ratter really weigh on my heart. Your alcoholic absent mother may not remember you in this fictional world, but in this real world I know I will.
#his dark materials#golden compass#the golden compass#philip pullman#one of the first more adult fiction series' i read as a kid#big place in my heart for teaching me the concept of accepting#that life isn't fair sometimes and sometimes there just is NOTHING you can do about it#and you have to accept it and it's better to face your fear head held high#if you're in pain accept it don't fight it you're only making it worse#and sometimes you don't get a happy ending and that's just life#it's not always fair and bad things will happen to you and you should try to keep living your best#entropy is inevitable and it's okay to accept that#you know the so you want to be a wizard books by diane duane taught me a similar lesson about entropy

it feels like the whole purpose of venom 3 is to kill off venom what the fuck
#i yell#venom 3#i think I've been watching too many good movies lately I've forgotten what marvel slop looked like#but it was sony!!!!!#venom the last dance spoilers#theres no set up to the dark world guy who's going to kill all worlds because apparently venom has the key to get him out of jail#idk if it's because the lack of subtitles or something but i didn't even catch why venom out of every symbiyote has the codex#it doesn't even get created until he bonds with someone#THEY MADE THE JAIL WHY WOULD THEY EVEN BOTHER MAKING A KEY#is it something from the comics because if they insist comics and movies are separate franchises they should explain it in the movies then#anyway haha sexyman competition comment#also acid kills symbiote??????????#or the unkillable thing that can withstand explosions?????#alien road trip family was fun though I'll give them that#although theirs and the scientist's subplot didn't hit me as hard as they could've been#haha mike crew from tma#she's gonna be the next venom series main character ig but she. didn't have much of a role to play in this movie#she could've been#there's so much build up and then nothing it's so empty#they didn't even get to work on the ''we are venom''#sorry for being a tragedy enjoyer but I'd have eddit die at the end of the movie#like you've already killed off venom why dont you make eddie die too it's not like hes getting another symbiote bonded to him as well as#venom did#unless they want a convenient set up where venom lives and they get back together but just kill off eddie and make venom resuscitate him or#something#if they died together you can read that they're one metaphorically (fulfilling the we are venom declaration)#or died one after the other#make themromeo and juliet cmonnnnnn#you even get to keep venom sacrificing itselfffffff#oh I've hit 30tags

sometimes i sit in my balcony and think about the point of life and human existence and then I eat a mango or hug my mom or go to the beach or watch modern family or sing to my dog or bake cookies with my friends or clean my room or read a Ocean Vuong book or listen to Okinawa by 92914 or take a nap under the sky or watch a Wong Kar-wai film or have the most perfect soul healing meal or fall in love five times a week or feel the breeze through my hair and it all makes sense.

So I've been thinking. It's funny how enjoying meta is somewhat embedded with trust.
Like, if you're "friends" and have followed a person for a long time, you have more a sense of their values, and it's easier to read their difficult meta because you trust more that they're being charitable/nuanced.
If you don't know them, it's harder to trust that they're not funneling difficult topics into rationalization of liking/supporting gross shit.
#meta thoughts#case in point - so much of the wincest community still comes off super classist to me and it sorts of...leaks into their meta#you'll be going alone with an interesting character study and then you read stuff that just BOOM classism about family ties#then you go to their page and you find that yes they're into that shit and there's typically a desert of thoughtful cas military angels etc#they tend to like benny cause benny is an idealized brother substitute / sam parallel and it's given the most uncharitable reading#just because you choose a partner than is familiar and like your fam members does not mean you're into your family members oh my god#and sure there's tons of visual and overt racism in SPN in general but to me that at least gets discussed#the classism inherent to narrative fangirl obsessions with incest? not as dissected#familism and community are seen as Weird (TM) to them and they kind of tell on themselves with that imho#and like with racism there are just some things you can't overlook to enjoy a series if you're black because that's your day to day life an#with classism it's hard too bc sometimes you can't escape the reminders of day to day life#and when ppl in the fandom see the villain's monologues as TRUTH you just wanna shake your head but know it's not worth arguing#communal living is more normal than america wants you to think...rich folks want it labelled *weird* bc they want you separated and drained#i am begging us to deconstruct suburbia instead of defaulting to TEEHEE incest bc shitting on pooled resources is paramount in a rigged gam#I find the inherent isolation of american living-to-work without any time to visit each other VERY isolating indeed...also...#like how did we get here#where we're so afraid of labels like*cults* and *helicopter parenting* and *enmeshment* than we isolate as a form of hallowed independence#american success culture has a dark side too#and separating low class families is the aim#get them to spend more $$$ and go for lofty ideals in pursuit of american dream instead of pooling their resources and meeting their needs#meanwhile rich folks do so much respectable nepotism and pretend they're *self-made*#to me that's what the symbol of zachariah is ALLLL about#and if you're blind to what his taunts ACTUALLY mean...i'm very suspicious of your worldview#if resource sharing and co-living becomes shameful and *incestuous* for lower classes then they won't pool their power at all#american exceptionalism#spn + class#class#class warfare#giving up college dreams to be a caretaker seems way more common in poor families too#i suspect we see the incest reading less from brown families / hispanic fams...cause familism is more common

I went back to rewatch the Brotherhood scenes and grab some screencaps, and honestly I was quite surprised that this line was from Quirin! I had misremembered it as one of Hector’s
I love it though. Quirin’s role in the Brotherhood is criminally underutilized a little bit of a mixed one between Hector’s stark loyalty and Adira’s dissatisfaction with the current state. On the one hand, Quirin has by all signs seeming left the Brotherhood - he’s settled down in another kingdom, started a family, is happily living a farmer’s life.
But at the same time - he has been doing his duty behind the scenes. He’s the one who finds the Sundrop and while he seemingly breaks his oath to warn Frederic about removing it, for all we know he never mentions the Moonstone or the DK - just that removing the flower is a Bad Idea because this scroll says so. (and given that both the scroll & Corona’s ties to Demanitus, I wonder if that’s what led him there)
He probably chose to settle in Old Corona because the flower was removed to keep an eye on things. Probably lots of regrets about the Sundrop being real all along, only for it to be immediately lost. (I wonder if he told Adira)
Then all is quiet for 18 years. And then a year before BEA, the rocks suddenly appear where the flower was (really wonder what the catalyst for this is). Then 6 months later, the lost princess appears. Then 6 more months later her magic hair is back. And the rocks are spreading.
He’s the first one aware of it and.... he does nothing. Says nothing to anyone, just asks for more land when the situation gets bad enough. I think there’s a combination of things preventing him from speaking, but I’d like to think that at least one is him being lawful stupid - He is a knight of the Brotherhood. He will not reveal anything about the Moonstone ever.
#tangled the series#tts quirin#i feel like the effect is slightly weakened by this not being edmund's *dying* wish#since edmund was there to send them off#there's just a certain poignancy to thinking you're fulfilling your duty to the dead while the living in front of you suffer#i feel like i can talk about quirin forever. i feel like he is the brotherhood blorbo i've latched onto the most#these rambles are probably incoherent but i had a lot of thoughts to sort through xD#between this scene and realizing that quirin had a cameo in BEA#on a side note this rewatch has also me notice a couple of things#one being that hector says adira will be a traitor if she leaves the dark kingdom - they haven't been forced to leave yet#so that must stung a lot for him later. i'd like to imagine hector was especially adamant about not leaving#and when he couldn't sway edmund that was when he went into overdrive in his loyalty#since edmund doesn't want anyone in the DK he'll make sure no one gets past him to the DK#and the other thing... Quirin and Adira were both present when Edmund tried to destroy the stone and nearly died. Hector was not :D#no clue where he was but that must have been a hell of a thing to come home to! :D

I think Ezra Bridger and Ty Blackthorn would be good friends 😌
#im basing this entirely on ty climbing up a tree with a slingshot taking people down one by one#tell me that isn’t the most ezra bridger move#but seriously though they would LOVE eachother and would definitely think the other is just the coolest#they’re both snarky little shits (affectionate) who love sneaking around and breaking rules they don’t agree with#i know for a fact that ezra would be so psyched to join ty on his little sherlock holmes adventures#they both love their families more than anything in the world and would do whatever it took to save them#they are both scheming little rats who climb in the walls and up trees to get the upper hand#as im writing these tags i am realizing one of the most obvious things of all that they have in common#and i cant believe i didnt think of it earlier#animals!!!#ty and ezra are always the ones to love and care for and respect animals in ways nobody else understands#ty with his rodents and bugs he keeps bringing into his room#and ezra with the loth cats and the wolves and the purrgil#not even just animals but any living being that is being treated unfairly ty and ezra will be there to defend them#ezra would absolutely help ty free the faeries in those cages in the london shadow market#and ty would hands down try to save that wookie baby#also ty would ABSOLUTELY befriend those turtle guys ezra lived with for a decade no doubt about it#star wars#ezra bridger#rebels#ahsoka series#shadowhunters#the shadowhunter chronicles#ty blackthorn#the dark artifices#lady midnight#lord of shadows#queen of air and darkness#kate's post

a recreation of me as of a few minutes ago, finishing five faces of darkness finally:
'wow, they set blitzwing up for something interesting at the end of that! i wonder when he next shows up, i'm excited to see how they portray him i'm gonna go check tfwiki to see his next appearance'
... oh. thats it thats his last appearance in the original cartoon huh.
i physically cant find a reaction image that specifically captures my flavor of disappointment if anyone knows anything that gives this a satisfying conclusion: fanon, canon, whatever, PLEASE let me know i feel like its leaving me hanging so bad there's so much that could be done with this
#live posting me making my way through season 3 because why not#blitzwing#transformers#five faces of darkness is a series of episodes i both love and hate#it has so many good ideas but i really dont like the 'consumer goods vs literally built for warfare' angle they go with backstory wise#takes away some of the feelings of nuance to me#and ik ik its transformers g1 what nuance but like#it has its moments. honestly the blitzwing thing was one of them
