dan and phil VIOLENTLY oscillate between making me want to giggle squeal kick my feet and making me want to punch them. the one certainty in life is that every cute moment of them smiling or experiencing genuine joy or trying to make each other laugh or domesticity will immediately be followed by phil buttoning up dan’s ass flap on camera or “change me? 🥺👉👈” or phil biting dan’s fucking tail after wrapping it with gold leaf right in front of their mothers and me and the children and god and the whole internet

I think it's really annoying that leo has completely falsified memories of jason too and this is barely acknowledged in the books

[sufferu]

Honestly with the Emilia camp (and the others to a lesser extent) thinking that by being away from Subaru forever hell be fine.

I kinda want Subaru to have a kind of bitch face moment where he just ignores all of them for a long time as they become even more desperate to speak to him

Oh Subaru is gonna have some very well-deserved Bitch moments in BTZ III. Not even the other characters are gonna blame him for it lmao

old drawing from months ago from before i finished season 2 of monsters at work, but after i was spoiled that randall would return :'(((( bc i started this before i actually saw him or knew what would happen with him i got lucky that maw's s2 ending made it so this interaction could be possible ಠ‿ಠ

for some context, during the two weeks lia was waiting to transfer from scream industries to MI, the events surrounding boo happened, she found out about waternoose and randall's conspiracy, and that randall was reported missing and wanted by the CDA. the authorities would take lia in for questioning, and inform her about some of the things randall had been involved in

this confirmed her long-time suspicions that randall had been hiding something, however, at the same time, lia can't believe it; she knows of randall's disdain for sulley and knew randall was desperate to be on top of the scaring industry, but didn't know that he would go this far to achieve it. she feels confused, angry, sad, and hurt that he's been doing all these things and keeping so much from her, and now it's like he just vanished.

then, lia's life was further shaken when mi announced they were switching from scream to laugh power. she's a scarer, not a jokester, and she knows it. and she's worked too hard and too long perfecting her scaring techniques to just completely abandon them to go back to square one and learn how to become a jokester. lia considered canceling her transfer to mi to return to scare industries, even wondering if maybe she should apply to fear co. so she could continue scaring. between the time she has to make a decision, she looks through randall and her's apartment and discovers more information about the secrets randall's been hiding. with her research, hints she's seen and heard in their apartment when randall was still there, and personal knowledge of him, she suspects that the CDA has been covering things up and purposefully withdrawing information, and that some of the secrets lie within monsters inc. so she goes through with staying at MI under the guise of training to be a jokester, to have access to the building to search and find out clues as to what happened to randall and where he is (i think i'll spare some of the later story details for some time else)

it felt so unreal to draw this bc i would daydream about how i'd continue lia and randall's story after the events of MI like a decade ago, and with the existence of maw and randall's return, i can continue to develop their story and base it off canon media!

i was ready to change some of the story to fit in with whatever would happen in season 2, but i think lots of the post MI stuff can stay relatively the same as before. the stuff i wrote above is pretty much the same story i thought up years ago, and i'm content that the stuff until that point still works in harmony with what happens in maw. and i think the fact that randall was actually always closer than she thought all along adds a layer of drama

again i drew this before it was revealed that johnny saved randall immediately after he was banished (somehow), so i thought that this scene wouldn't be plausible but then randall broke out of custody so that leaves a good time for this to happen after lol

randall intended to remain hidden for as long as possible, having rather appear missing than face lia after what he's done; but with johnny now in prison and nowhere else to go, he finally decides to face her

i definitely have ideas of what would be said and what would go down but i think it's fun to leave it at this drawing and keep it open for now :)

god forbid you are two boys sharing your cup days! god forbid!

[nicollekidman]

Hi Abby, I am uncomfortable saying this off anon for a variety of reasons, please do not think one of them is cowardice. I have followed you for years and years. I’ve come to love so much media because of you and always appreciate your takes. I have chosen to unfollow you now. I am a Jewish person who has been so scared and upset about what the state of Israel is doing to Palestinians and am disgusted by the war crimes committed by Israel. At the same time, I have numerous Israeli friends and family members who have been murdered by Hamas in the last few weeks. Civilians visiting for educational and cultural exchange programs, horrifically killed. Your recently reblogged informational post about how Hamas is not a terrorist organization was deeply upsetting. This may not matter at all to you, but I ask that you consider empathy to all people involved in this issue. Decolonization is important. My friends and family are dead. These two facts can coexist. Just wanted to share this with you because I know many people see your blog and are affected by the information you share.

probably shouldn’t answer this at 1am and you’ve already unfollowed so you probably won’t even see this but i just want to ask you why my sharing resources and information about the reality of hamas and it’s current functioning within gaza / its original charter immediately made you think that i don’t care about loss of human life. there was not a single phrase in that post that minimized victims of the october attack, in fact, not a single phrase in that post took a stance on anything, it was purely informational. frankly, i think it was so measured to dissuade from reactions exactly like this, and if i had written it myself, i would’ve done a worse job.

and if you had been able to push past your knee jerk reaction to reading “they are not a terrorist organization” you would recognize that clarifying language and correcting misconceptions is one of the most important things we can do, both going forward in ending this genocide and looking back on how and why lives have been lost in both israel and palestine.

i have personal empathy and grief for your situation, and i’m so sorry you have suffered loss amongst your community and loved ones. but your loss does not form a shield behind which you are allowed to hide from truth, or force other people to close their mouths when trying to educate themselves and others. we are currently witnessing ongoing mass death, us-backed genocide, and a hugely successful (in the west) propaganda campaign to make this endeavor as Unknowable as possible, especially to those who have never looked into the reality of life in the region. grounding ourselves in recent history, learning more about words and labels that are thrown around weekly, daily, hourly, SPECIFICALLY to justify and excuse the ongoing campaign of death israel has visited upon the palestinian people for decades…. that is the LEAST we are all responsible for. it is your duty, as someone who has lost friends and loved ones, and it is mine, as someone with eyes on their stupid blog, to make every concerted effort to understand and spread the truth, in context, to enrich our own activism and honor the dead.

saying “decolonization is important” while unfollowing me after years bc i shared information about what hamas is, is so empty and meaningless you might as well have not said it at all. thousands of people are actively and endlessly being murdered behind a smokescreen of Terrorism with the VERY SPECIFIC connotations that holds over the west and the US in particular… attempting to relay information that complicates and clarifies your exact knee jerk reaction is the entire point. i hope one day you are able to look a little closer and recognize that your personal hurt in seeing new information that makes you uncomfortable is not important in the scheme of what we are currently trying to prevent

[butwhatifidothis]

Ever get tired of talking about cans fic? Wanna talk about the absolute missed opportunity that was making sothis a gremlin child and not a milf or even possibly a gilf instead?

Eh, kinda yeah kinda no regarding getting tired of talking about the fic.

Like, the actual act of reading the actual fic? Genuinely ass. Like, I've actually read up to and fully written out the notes for Chapter 62. I tried reading the first sentence of Chapter 63 right afterwards, saw it was a Rhea POV chapter, and went back to reading my otome isekais. That was around late November, and I've still yet to read any more of Chapter 63. The act of reading through something this horrible requires a lot of long breaks in-between sessions of reading.

But! In doing so I also get to talk about aspects of writing, and about 3H in particular, which I love doing. I like geeking out over aspects of writing like characterization, consistency, logical throughlines, character growth, etc. and being able to do so with such a horrible example of pretty much all of that is kinda fun, ngl.

And I also get to see and tackle so, so many of the asinine, horrendous takes that have made this fandom such a volatile space, such as:

Teacher Theory

Edelgard being some poor hapless maiden waiting for her love to save her from her unfair and unjust fate of being "branded" a villain

Dimitri being so toxic and "gone" that he needs to be killed since he just can't "listen to reason" anymore (and that actually him getting killed would make him happier)

the same essentially being said about Rhea

Lonato being a just man during his rebellion, as well as Christophe being just in his attempt to kill Rhea

Nabateans as a race being to blame for all of humanity's problems and so needing to take accountability for all of humanity's wrongs

Claude not actually caring about Fodlan and just wanting to conquer it so he can do better when he goes back to Almyra

Byleth needing to be completely human and needing to reject their Nabatean heritage in order to become happy

Edelgard being the only one among the lords + Rhea to ever care for Byleth

Everyone's best self being found only on CF

the idea that anyone defending themselves against Edelgard's attempt on their life in the Holy Tomb would be the aggressor instigating war against Edelgard

Edelgard caring so much about the people and being the only lord to care about the people

Sothis wanting Byleth to choose Edelgard over everyone else

Everyone making Edelgard kill them

And so on and so forth; this fic has pretty much all of them. In a way, reading this fic and breaking it down lets me have one, concentrated area where I get to dissect exactly how and why all of these takes are either shitty, genuinely disgusting, stupid as hell, or a mix of some/all of those things. And given the fact that Cap'n and multiple people in the fandom want this fic to be taken as meta/required reading, and with this basically being an amalgamation of all of Cap'n's genuine takes on the game (+ those of other Edelstans), going over exactly why such an influential thing is so wrong feels fitting lol. It's a pain to actually have to read through, especially with the pretentious and self-pitying holier-than-thou prose making things hard to actually physically read, but the result of doing so makes it worth it imo.

Buuuut to get off of that: yes, it was an extremely huge missed opportunity that Sothis was a stupid fuckin' loli instead of her actual self. Or, I guess more accurately, that she didn't physically become her actual self after merging with Byleth, or at least become physically closer to it. Full Mommy Sothis is so beautiful from the little we see of her! And the idea of her looking more like how she used to as she gains more of her memories would've been cool to see! And, uh, also, I feel an adult body would make her garb feel less... unfortunate to look at (ngl I get Nowi vibes looking at Sothis and I Do Not Like Nowi's clothing design that much).

I feel there was a lot missed with Sothis tho, and that that's mostly the case because the game more wants the feeling of a mystery to hang around the game more than it does actually writing a mystery with a conclusion. Sothis was seen regaining bits and pieces of her former life as a god, so if she stayed around long enough she could have revealed things to the player that were meant to be hidden. Same with Rhea - she could talk about a lot of the background knowledge of Fodlan's history that could have fleshed out the world so much more. But doing that would "spoil the fun" so to speak; there wouldn't be a mystery anymore, which the writers seemed to prioritize more than actually making the mystery fulfilling to figure out.

So Sothis gets yeeted out of the story halfway through, and Rhea is either an unavailable damsel in distress or a person pushed past their breaking point and thus unable to talk to. That's why Rhea's lore dumps on SS and VW are so rushed and forced - the writers knew they had to eventually get to the end of the mystery, and so held off as long as possible. At least, that interpretation of the writing can exist, given how they've written everything lol
