#she fascinates me

Can I ask you something? Why do you hate me? Because you're selfish. You don't trust anyone do you? That's because your not trustworthy.

As a lesbian I understand Jack Barnabas perfectly

It’s really interesting to me how elusive Kipperlily Copperkettle has been throughout what is now the first half of the season.

She’s the closest thing we have to an identifiable Big Bad. She gets established in episode 3 to be constantly vigilant, capable of eavesdropping on anything and everything.

And then she’s physically MIA (iirc) for seven episodes, barring her scene with the food trucks at the start of episode 7. I think she’s said to be present at the assembly this most recent episode (ep 10) but she doesn’t appear to be an active participant in anything. That inaction is eating away at me… bc I know she’s doing something.

Talk about haunting a narrative… I’m constantly aware of her nonexistence. I’m paranoid. With every episode that we don’t hear from or interact with KLCK, she grows more terrifying to me. Brennan made sure to establish right away that she could be listening at literally any point. Riz tried to keep that at the forefront of his mind initially, but even he let that idea fall to the wayside as stress built up and time passed.

I think we’ve settled into a false sense of security in this respect. I think that at any point Brennan can and will drop a KLCK bomb on us and oh boy it’s gonna be deliciously messy.

Just thinking about how Tammy's issue was hatred of self. Yes, if she embodied a Deadly Sin, it would be Pride, but Pride born out of insecurity. Putting on a brave face because inside she is terrified of failure.

She makes Billy the face of her brand because she can't stand to see herself on camera. She has sex only through a proxy. Won't allow herself to fucking rest until she's proven her worth to someone.

In the end she dies because she's attacking her reflection. She breaks every mirror in her home until she strikes at the one above her bed, the place where she's supposed to feel the most secure. But she never has.

I find Satine Kryze to be such a fascinating character because some of her decisions regarding Mandalorian culture are questionable (plus the show portrays her pacifism in a weird way), but you can also sympathize with and understand where she is coming from.

Yes, she did was trying to separate Mandalore from its traditional culture and heritage, then getting mad at those who still wanted to practice it. That isn't good or right by any means, as it's basically cultural eraser, and as some people pointed out, kind of cultural persecution, even if it's her own culture.

But at the same time, it's easy to understand why she did it and where these feelings come from. For years, Mandalore was dealing with a massive civil war that nearly destroyed them and forced Satine to be on the run for a very long time as a teenager. She saw her whole world basically fall apart around her due to war and conflict, which is likely how her parents died (can't remember if that was stated/mentioned in canon or not, but it can be inferred). It was obviously very traumatic and made her hate war and conflict as a result.

Not only that, but once the war ended, Satine had to reconstruct and rebuild her entire nation from the ground up. As a teenager. Right after the most traumatizing period of her life. And she had to do most of it by herself, leading her people and trying her best to give them hope. Of course that would make her hate war and violence more. Anyone would after something like that.

An important thing to remember is that traditional Mandalorian culture is known for being very militant or at least having a lot of militaristic aspects to it. Mandalore prided itself on being a civilization of warriors. Mandalore has a history of violence and conflict that has affected their culture as a whole. While it isn't all about war and violence, it is an important aspect of it that many people cite as one of the main aspects of traditional Mandalorian culture.

So of course Satine, a person deeply traumatized by war and violence would blame the military aspects of Mandalorian culture and see it as the source of Mandalore's issues. In her mind, Mandalore is consistently at war, and traditional Mandalorian culture glorifies and encourages that. As she was trying to rebuild her home, Satine wanted to do whatever it took to make sure her people would never be at war again. She wanted to give them peace and stability, because they were nearly destroyed without it. So she decided to get rid of the thing she saw as the source of the destruction: traditional Mandalorian culture.

Due to her trauma, she ended up going overboard and trying to strip Mandalore of all its original culture, especially the military/warrior aspects, and replacing it with a culture meant to focus on peace and pacifism, separating them from their violent past. Satine, at the end of the day, is a deeply hurt person who is desperate to keep her people safe, even if that means stripping them of their history and culture, because she feels like it is the reason they all went through so much pain in the first place.

Grace Chasity, totally normal 18 year old christian girl who may or may not have the power of God and eldritch gods on her side

(I am not suggesting that the power of Christ could beat Wiggly I am however suggesting that Grace possibly believes that- also it looked weird having neon green behind her head)

Got half way through this and looked up a reference to Grace's homecoming dress and realized I had picked a shade of blue too dark. Highlights to the rescue. Also do you guys think about colors in outfits in the hatchetfield universe and their connection to the Lords in Black, particularly in npmd? Green connecting Steph and Pete to Wiggly is obvious- and that Pete's green pairs well with yellow ie tinky. But Grace is Pink and Blue. Nibbly and Pokey. The hungry one and the one who hates other voices.

Crying over what must've been going through baby Opal's head when she was told that Kuvira was being adopted into the family.

Imagine being the only nonbender girl of a family of great benders. She's already failing her family's legacy. And then Suyin takes in another girl, one that also happens to be a talented metalbender/earthbender.

Doesn't that feel like being replaced?

Malta Vestrit Haven Khuprus I’m so sorry that a bitch like me would even say the things I said about you when you were 13. I had no idea you would one day be stabbing a man who wanted to sell your dismembered body in the throat literal seconds after giving birth on the floor. Literally no one is as strong as you queen.

[theroseempress]

my brain did not want to work on character design but I still wanted to get something done on that front, so I sketched a Juniper! (who despite being a side character and only existing in the most recent draft, nonetheless occupies a surprising amount of my brain at the moment)

(wishWIP taglist; @ettawritesnstudies, @enne-uni, @ashirisu, @mr-orion, do ask to be added/removed)

Utterly alone, utterly magnificent

I support women’s wrongs

[gillytweed]

So I’ve been getting (peripherally) into the Vtuber Amalee/Monarch, and by that I mean I’ve seen some clips and her YouTube shorts make me snort hard enough to feel my face implode. And I’ve realized something…

I find this woman is fascinating.

“I can fix/make her worse”? Nah I wanna scientifically observe her in her natural environment.

Those green eyes are meant for me 🌹❤️🤗 !.
