it's sure something how those who sexually harass girls wind up then played off for laughs and A GOOD GUY REALLY, while the girl is left shilling the man for it or her potential trauma and struggles ignored. even more suspicious as you point out that the ones in the CK world after johnny are nonwhite men. HMM.

Yeah its….the way sexual violence is handled in this series is Not It. When season 3 hit and they had Ali brush off just how bad of a boyfriend and a person Johnny was to her I was so, so disappointed. Like I never needed Johnny to give a confessional and list off all of his sins, but if they had even just let her respond to his blanket apology with a “thank you Johnny, that means a lot to hear you say that” instead of her complete dismissal with “we were so young and I made mistakes too,” it would have gone such a long way.

And then Kyler sexually assaulted Sam and continually sexually harassed her online, and while we didn’t exactly get a redemption from him the whole situation was kind of played off for laughs and not given any real gravity, even back when it happened.

And Tory…idk it’s something about one of her first lines in the show being about having to defend herself from a creep at the mall with her bracelet, about her landlord trying to extort her for sexual favors, about the show continuously telling us this is a girl who has been repeatedly sexualized by adults, and then the show itself sexualizing her. I always go back to that stripper fake-out in season 4 and how absolutely disgusting it was. And now with this scene with Kwon…like admittedly the season has not come out and yet and so we don’t actually know what exactly happens in that scene, but I am just so, so tired of it all

Personally I think if you make an edit that involves lightening a non-white character's skin then your computer should just blow up on the spot but that's just me

I just have mixed feelings about Natlan. Like I can see they are getting certain things right but at the same time fuck colorism. If I was in the game I'd be a npc with how dark my skin is. And I ain't even dark.

I am so #LoserCore with how little I can handle horror (I don't think I've ever even seen an actual horror movie in full, even clips are Enough For Me)

Honestly tho I don't care if it makes me a "loser" for refusing to watch any kind of horror movie at all. I'm just trying to take care of myself :p

Me? Actually post art on this blog again? Wow. Anyway have a movie!Cole

I’m showing my ass wrt to what kind of cobra kai posting I’ve seen on this site by saying this but daniel larusso is NOT as italian as you’re depicting him. chances are he’s third generation at least and as someone who is also third generation I’m just gonna say that while I think his sense of connection to italian-ness as a concept is sincere it’s, like, if he spoke any italian I would be surprised. his cultural identity comes from his mom whose understanding of that identity came from her parents and they’re all serious about it but generational drift and assimilation happen and that understanding gets more muddled/becomes more of a simulacrum over time. a copy of a copy. which is fine like that’s how culture works but people lean towards writing him as italian instead of italian-american and well I simply don’t buy that. and did you forget him hitting kyler with a microaggression a minute when they first met he’s the kind of white man who awkwardly brings up being italian whenever a person of color mentions experiencing racism because he thinks it’s a valid comparison but it is not

 tl;dr this man is NOT a latin lover. he wishes he were but he is not!

the four hunters 🗡🌿

extras + rambles below cut

yipeee i finally finished this illustration 🎉🎉

this is my personal take on the hunters gang (we will ignore that boromir died). honestly, i had a lot of fun thinking of the designs.

had to bring back my aragorn with his silly braid and blue hair ribbon. he's a ranger for most of his life, so he'd definitely go for practicality and what he's already familiar with—so no armour nor gambeson. he probably had a small fight with elrond before they left for the quest; where elrond tried to make him swap his gear for better, newer ones and aragorn just adamantly refusing because he's a lot more familiar (and more comfortable) with his own. which is why he's wearing tattered and worn rags. his red tunic is the only new thing he allowed elrond to swap to a new one. boromir definitely got exhasperated and somewhere down the line, he loaned aragorn his pair of arm bracers.

boromir (and faramir's (not featured here)) design changed a lot since the past years. it's a mash-up of both movie!boromir and lore accurate book!boromir. his hair is a lot darker and he has more of a storm blue-grey eyes as a nod towards his elendil ancestry. his clothing is heavily based off the movie. as for his cloak; since he's The son of gondor and denethor's favourite, i think he'd definitely get the fortune of wearing a fur cloak. the clasp has the white tree engraved on it.

gimli is by far my favourite. i always wanted to draw my take of gimli in his regalia. as a dwarven royalty, i think he'd groom his hair and beard really well, and he would've put on a lot of accessories to show his status. but since he's on a quest, he's not fully decked out in jewelries—wearing very practical clothing: gambeson with chainmail underneath. also, i like the dwarven fighting style they did in the hobbit movie where they go around and knock people off with melee. so gimli got hefty arm bracers and knuckle weights to really punch the shit out of some orcs.

for legolas; i think despite being an elf, he has the factors of being (1) mirkwood elf and (2) lowkey autistic coded. so he doesn't dress "like an elf"—not that the company would've known, with how limited their interactions with elves in general already. this meant that he dressed too casually despite going on a life-or-death quest. very light leather armour to support his speed and agility. he's not even wearing boots; just a pair of tree-climbing canvas shoes that he wrapped tightly. god knows how he survived this far. he's mostly a right handed archer—but since he lived for quite a long while, he taught himself to shoot with left hand too for emergencies. since his left hand isn't as stable as his right hand, he has a left-shoulder-pad.

THEY ALL HAVE SCARS because who doesn't get scars when you're literal warriors be fr. legolas' are more faded out though, because he's old as fuck.
