I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.
I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?
The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.
#anya is not a character i see taking agency or indulging in cathartic behaviors#not knowingly like i see her as a character trapped in her head and maybe in the scenario she's cruel to Curly she is envisioning Jimmy#in his place but its not a story about justice or those deserving of punishment and those not like its the opposite of people projecting#their issues on the wrong people and saying things to the wrong people and doing things they shouldn't but anya uniquely falls out of it as#she is subjected to a lot of it but it is also not something she wants to subject another person to like you are doing what Jimmy does and#placing ur rage into another persons and viewing their actions through your eyes like she'd more likely yell at him than do harm or#cause him more pain like at least make it in character#but also she clearly doesn't want to see jimmy or curly in the same light and doesnt because she still repeatedly goes to Curly for comfort#and protection and god there's like concepts that need to be applied to characters individually and then the story as a whole#we can not view the game through only one themed lens less we forget to inspect the compounding factor of Anya is so much more than girl#that needs to be allowed to go off but a woman that simply wants right to be done by her and no more harm like she doesn't want to be aroun#the suffering like idk but some of yall would just benefit from like understanding that people are inherently grey with the capabilities of#black n white thinking or actions#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#anya mouthwashing#i like her the most but then again i am defensive of all women in media and hate when people change the way the character would take agency#for themselves like yes I want her to tweak out but she just wouldn't and I like seeing realistic depictions of a woman suffering the way#she is like shes not the type at the end of the movie to have a one liner but feel a shallow freedom cause she needs to realistically heal#idk but its just like there is an obbsession forming with making her character her pain and not how she handles and navigates the issue

dreaming abt sophomore year class swap bard!riz
#fantasy high#fantasy high sophomore year#fhsy#riz gukgak#ft. kalina#fh class quangle#tbh Im not suuuper happy with the bones of these designs yet#but also its just a bit hard to measure up to how strong ''kid who wears suit to school'' is#I kiinda gear the sophomore year design specifically towards like. cameraman-esque aesthetics#kind of dude who's working the light rig And the audio at the same time. dude who's running inbetween two huge tripods#theres also a thing with the freshman year arcade scene that I wanted to draw but just do not have the energy today#maybe in the future! if I can be bothered to draw biz lmao#I wanna draw something for cleric!gorgug first anyway... specifically his death in freshman year#man I'm so glad I tossed bard!riz into investigative journalism that is SO annoying. exactly what I set out to do with my classswaps#can you imagine going to school with that guy. can you imagine going to school with tintin#this also makes kipperlilly vs riz even funnier like influencer vs journalist? it'd be the Worst#man thinking of it I should rework gorgug's design too. currently his sophomore design is really zac core lmao#and zac can pull it off but character design wise its. really nothing. laughs#his junior year design is full aerith at least so that one Im very happy with. what if I tell u cassandra is the deity of#the inbetween spaces in this class swap thingy. and gorgug offers her domain as a stop for folks fresh out of a faith to gather themselves#that being transgender as fuck is kinda coincidental lmao. but well I stand by it I like that#nobody's design has jumped out to me like riz and gorgug yet. adaine I have a prreeetty good idea for#mostly bc shes the hoodie kid this time round lmao. gamer adaine true believers rise up#we take it easy! we take it easy as we go. these comics-lite were real fun to do. I should do that more

listen i know people love the “ghost wears a mask because he has so many scars” headcanon or the “ghost wears a mask because of trauma” headcanon and so do i but i’m also a “ghost wears a mask because he’s so pretty, his face belongs on the body of a cherub, and people don’t take him seriously without the mask” believer and nothing can change my mind
#motherfucker takes off his mask and it’s like he has a halo suddenly#like he’s bathed in golden light and no one knows where the fuck it’s from#then he opens his mouth and everyone kind of shakes themselves out of the trance they were in#modern warfare#ghost#simon ghost riley

*stares at disciple SQQ falling into the abyss au*
oh you are so "SY-is-SJ" coded. You are so "fell into the abyss and suddenly remembered that oh i've been Shen Jiu this whole time, not just Shen Yuan. we are one and the same". you are so 'crumbling under the weight of the system and being in the abyss and the despair of never really being free and having suffered in both lives' built. you are so 'scrambling to come to terms with your existence and battling with which life is really yours, only to realize that they both are'. You are primed for going off the rails.
I'm so normal about this guys. i promise.
#svsss#mxtx svsss#svsss au#shen yuan#shen qingqiu#scum villian self saving system#scum villian#svsss role reversal au#IF I MAKE IT SY-IS-SJ THERE'S NO STOPPING ME FROM MAKING THIS AU QIJIU. LIKE IT MUST BE QIJIU IF I GO THAT ROUTE.#grinding my teeth. grips you by the shoulders tightly#the angst of YQY finding out SQQ fell into the endless abyss and falling into a despair that he couldnt save him AGAIN. him trying to go#through hell and high water trying to get him back. him and LBH are losing their shit. also the idea that YQY existed in SY's world too#not as an older brother but as a close childhood friend who was there for him for years up until their HS years where something happened#that caused a falling out. but YQY keeps trying to rekindle that friendship and never can in that world bc SY dies before they can reconnec#SQQ realizing that he misses YQY like a limb and thinking that if he sees him again he'll demand answers for his supposed abandonment but#also he just wants to hug him. just once. and then maybe punch him. not in that order. its the doomed soulmates guys. its the reconnection#obsessed obsessed obsessed. like HMMMM. SQQ knows YQY's fate from the book and the idea makes him so nauseous he has to sit down#bingqiu is fantastic but ALSO. QIJIU. 'SY-is-SJ' is decidedly perhaps my favorite trope for the time being if only for the pure and utter#self-hatred SY and SJ are going to inflict on each other. its about the mental breakdown guys. especially with chronically ill SY.#SJ hating SY for being sick. for being a shut in. they are a reflection of each other they ARE each other and they hate themselves#holding back from going off the rails about 'SY-is-SJ' au combined with him falling into the abyss#'no light no light' by florence and the machines is this au guys. ive decided it now

my personal headcanon is the vees were unremarkable nobodies when they were alive. i just love it as a thematic throughline for them. they love to let the public of hell speculate on them being famed and acclaimed since before death, but the the truth is they were a d-list failed influencer that got by on cheap controversey and scamming, a broke junkie who burned every shaky bridge he ever had, and a worn-out broadcast production assistant with more rejected auditions and tossed out script pitches than he could count. nobody missed them when they were gone, nobody cared who they were until they were dead.
#because villains who didn't start off supremely powerful are more interesting to me#vees#it's not that they CAN'T be better. or that they're simply ignorant of the ways they fuck up others lives#they actually all do have that knowledge of being the underdog. and it's made them all the more shitty#because they never want to be those people again#narratives about people who make each other worse <3#to be clear they were still shitty people in life. manipulative. consumed by greed and envy. all their individual flaws etc etc#but hell made them into the absolute worst versions of themselves#of course what their Worst Self is and the journey/length of time/initial reaction to being in hell varies#like val sees hell as a continuation of the things happening in life. just w/ the power dynamics always privileging him#it's the same drugs and violence. except the violence isn't just survival anymore but the chance to indulge his deeply sadistic desires#vox has completely dissociated from his time alive. that person is dead and he's reinvented himself 1000 times over since then#90% of the time he has those memory files shoveled into a hidden directory#he refuses to acknowledge that he's still haunted by some of the same insecurities from almost a century ago#val doesn't necessarily see his living self in a fond light but he does see that person as fundamentally him#velvette thinks life was full of people who weren't her demographic but fortunately that's been fixed by sinners!#they just couldn't Get Her and that was all their faults#the primary way they view their past selves can be summed up as: scorn (vox) apathy (valentino) and in denial (velvette)#sorry the bulk of the post was in the tags. i will be doing this again#the scorn is the coping mechanism for shame. of course

selected moments (mostly gay or countess almaviva or both) from barrie kosky's 2023 production of le nozze di figaro at the wiener staatsoper
#hello i saw this production in vienna a few months ago and became mildly deranged about it#and there is so little on it online so i decided to take matters into my own hands#barrie kosky i have to say you ate with this. i gather his productions aren't always recommended for first-time operagoers#but as a first-time operagoer it rotted my brain with a swiftness so hats off#i don't think i need to spell out that i'm in love with countess almaviva. i think the gifs speak for themselves#also it's not really a gifable moment but when i saw this a detail i LOVED was that when she's introduced#the countess is posing motionless staring into the mirror while her entire ornate room physically moves forward#similarly at the end of another scene she sits motionless and stares out into the audience as the room moves backwards#and the lights go down#tragic woman horribly aware of her fate trapped in a golden cage <333#cherubino outta my way gayboy etc etc#i have to say hanna-elisabeth müller is extremely good at anguished staring into space hahahahaha#anyway yes these kinda look like ass because i don't know how to make or compress gifs properly#and i refuse to download photoshop for fear my laptop would not be able to hack it#it's me and ezgif.com against the world#luckily this post is largely for an audience of me anyway LMAO#sorry about the subtitles btw there is unfortunately no clean version#opera#le nozze di figaro#the marriage of figaro

Brothers
based on the fic
#can you guys see the symbolism#I will tell you in the tags here#the BG is their hotel#symmetrical and symbolic of their thriving crime ring#the brothers themselves are asymmetrical#symbolic of their tense relationship#Malik is looking off into an empty space#looking at someone who should be standing beside him#but someone who is not…#Amir is glaring cautiously at his brother#perhaps wondering why he’s standing why his jacket is off#is malik going somewhere???#his cigarette is almost out while Amir’s is fresh and has plenty more time to burn#Amir is seated in a throne like chair for in a way he’s king of domino#this chair is shielding him from the brilliant light of the chandelier yet because Malik is standing most of the light reaches him from#behind#UM YEAH….#SO….#I care about them#I will finish this fic I have one more chapter to do….#their relationship makes me emotional man#ygo#malik ishtar#yami marik#The Clean Sneak#ygo au#1920s au#millenniumringg art

Sorry the revelation that Dan's car with the broken fuel gauge was a CORSA actually explains so much. You would not believe the amount of random shit that my dashboard tells me everyday on this car. I don't think I've ever taken it to the workshop without asking them to fix some notification on the dashboard that won't go away. Of course the fuel gauge was broken
#when i first got this car i freaked out everytime the tire pressure light went on#until i realised the sensors just shut themselves off anytime i go over 80 kph#useless feature. i love it so much#dan and phil#phan#car talk with sophia. hello. sorry. i also take the train and the tube sometimes

It’s crazy how both of these characters have faced abuse/are facing abuse and how similar but different it is. Because While Fizz was given ‘everything’ by Mammon (in a way), Angel Dust isn’t being given anything from Valentino. (From what we know)
Fizz feels he needs to keep being perfect for Mammon because without him, he’s nothing. Now I wonder how it’ll be for Angel? Especially since he’s being S/A by Val behind closed doors.
Not to mention Mammon clearly physically abusing Fizz (but playing it off for laughs, gags, and performance acts)
#Oh yeah the parallels are ALL there right#down to Angel and Val being a reverse spidder and fly (or moth) and Mammon being a spider and Fizz the “fly”#Both are parasites attracted to the others light and talent and leeching off it wnating to claim it for themselves#helluvaboss#hazbinhotel#helluva boss season 2#helluva boss fizzarolli#helluva boss mammon#hazbin angel dust#hazbin valentino

I just saw someone on reddit argue that AI art is no different from photography since "you just need to press a button to take photos" and that's the most brainless take on AI art I've ever seen methinks
#anti ai art#this especially pissed me off as someone who does photography casually#just because you can create photos with a click of a button doesn't mean they're good photos#it would be blatantly ignoring the framing of the subject and using the right settings to create the wanted atmosphere#also editing the photos...most photographers edit their photos themselves#and even if you ignore all that there's still creativity involved with how the photos are taken#just search “light painting photography” and you'll see photographers using more creativity than all ai artists combined#god this pisses me off

what if the zhuo family curse is that in order to defeat the greatest demon you must become a demon as well. the curse of corruption, of transformation.
#star stumbles#fangs of fortune#cdrama#am i onto something or am i on something#purely going off the trailer and ost like what if the secret#is that the wielder of the cloud light sword which can dispel all evil actually becomes 'evil' themselves#like the price to pay or something#大梦归离

Feng Xin will always be so fucking funny to me, you don’t understand. This man, who is genuinely afraid of women, recoiled at the touch of Shi Qingxuan in female form, Mr. “GET THOSE THINGS AWAY FROM ME” Feng Xin, managed to get a woman (Jian Lan) pregnant. It never fails to make me burst out in laughter.
#tgcf#hob#feng xin#pearl talks#am i the only one who doubts that anyone actually enjoyed themselves that night?#for my own amusement i like to think that the sex was AWFUL.#did it with the lights off and couldn’t look at each other in the face the next day.#hence why jian lian ran off and broke up with him shortly.#*jian lan sorry

3 in the morning rant but I'm sick of living in a fucking straight world! I'm sick of every piece of media in every advertisement, every theatre centering around heterosexual courting and and pairing ritual! I'm sick of every song on the radio about heterosexual love lust or heartbreak! I'm sick of listening to straight women whine about how their boyfriends play too much video games or watch too much porn or how their girlfriends are too emotional or can't take a joke! I'm sick of the pointless categorisation of everything into male and female! I'm sick of discourse and I'm sick of something as simple as cross-dressing or transitioning being something that turns heads! And I'm sick of everything queer that does end up in mainstream culture sanitised for the heterosexual audience! I don't want to have to behave myself and keep it pg at pride so that the straights deem us family friendly enough to endorse! And I'm sick of who I am being made out to be some twisted perversion of human! I'm sick of monogamy culture and marriage and the house with the fucking kids and dog! Just for once I want to live in a world where I'm not a freak or unnatural and I can be open about who I am and the experience of life I'm having and just talk about how my day was without having to censor how queer it was so my fucking straight colleagues and friends don't need it explained or need to be spared from the explicit and disgusting nature of my fucking life! I'm sick of the heterosexual life being shoved down my fucking throat since before I could even understand what the blue and pink characters on my children's cartoon was indoctrinating me into!
#i am ANGRY#and to the straight people in my life i can fucking see the disgust disapproval and tension on your face when i talk about my experiences#especially from allies or i totally dont judge!!!#whjch is to mean im not pissed off at you specifically ive just been so deprived of queer company and queer stories and queer activities#for so long that now that im stepping back into my whole self and desires and worldview and having fun again#im just so angry that to be accepted and embraced as i am i havent found anyhwre that will truly appreciate me that isnt 18+ and sectioned#conveniently so far away from where the normiws are#because anywhere people like me congregate should be hidden from their eyes right?#i cant exist in the light!#ANGER!#anger for me for my people and for the young qyeers who are internalising their hate unto themselves already and they dont even know#ANGER
