thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

Flutterpage lore just dropped and I have some thoughts

Interesting choice to make Eucalyptus one of her fraganxes considering the plant doesn't naturally grow in the UK where she lives.

LEAVE HER ALONE!!!! She's literally just a curious child trying to learn more abt the world. The fact that they would've arrested her if she was older is fucking insane

I really like how they chose to make her udimo origami. It really fits her aesthetic in the game.

Finally, here's her original storyboard in Chinese alongside some of her official art:

And that's the end of the post. Thanks for making it this far!

i wanna hear you yap about newsies more!!! literally anything about it/related to it that you want!!!! i love seeing you yap about it, you always have much more eloquent ways of saying things than i do lol

Thank you so much for the kind words! I love sporadically spewing my thoughts on Newsies, and it means a lot that you and others enjoy it :)

I confess that I've been hording this ask for a few days now waiting for inspiration (or insanity. but you know, potaytoh potato) to strike. At last, I have decided to talk about a female character who I feel is very often overlooked. That is, Miss Medda Larkson, the Swedish Meadowlark.

I've heard time and time again that people don't like Medda from the original film and that they prefer stage musical Medda, and while I do understand why stage Medda is so popular, I think it's a shame that the original Medda is so readily pushed aside.

I think Medda Larkson is an intriguing character. When we meet her, we are immediately introduced to two Meddas. The first Medda is the act, the "Swedish Meadowlark" complete with a fake accent. The second Medda is the woman who owns Irving Hall and knows Jack and who grants this boy and his friends sanctuary because of "a little problem outside." The second Medda is the woman who complimented Les's acting skills and told Toby the candy butcher to give him a stomachache all the sweets he wanted.

The second Medda is also the woman who knew Jack's father. Now, it's hard to tell whether Jack was telling the truth or improving it when he tells the Jacobs boys this, but I'd like to say that Medda did in fact know Mr. Sullivan. I say so because you have to compare this assertion to the lies we know Jack told and the honest answers we know he gave:

Jack lied about his name. This is the first example of lying in the course of the film, although the way Jack spins it he might have really told the truth. "That and a lot of other things including Jack Kelly, which is what my mother called me," isn't exactly a lie, but it's certainly improving the truth. Later, when Snyder calls him Sullivan and David calls Jack out on it, Jack becomes defensive and outright accuses David of accusing him of lying. Which, at this point he definitely is, but he makes up for it with:

Why he was in the refuge and how he escaped. Despite David's extreme skepticism, the story Jack tells him about Snyder, the refuge, and Teddy Roosevelt is all later releveled as true. Perhaps just with a few careful exclusions of certain details.

Jack lies about his family. When asked by David about his family, Jack spins a tale I'm sure he's long perfected about his parents being "out west looking for a place to live." In a more subtle way, Jack also becomes defensive about this subject, validating his story with his dime novel to illustrate Santa Fe. Later with Sarah, Jack again feels the need to justify his story, "You should see Santa Fe, everything's different there..."

The point of this mini analysis is: Jack has a tell. When he lies, he backs up his claims or attempts to defend them. And I think it's safe to say that David caught on at least partly to that fact. But while the things he told David and Les on that first day was a mix of fact and fiction, I think what he said about Medda was all true. He doesn't attempt to explain why his father knew Medda, he doesn't spin any story. Jack simply answers David's question - and quickly redirects the conversation away from any other detail on his father and Medda, which is pretty telling in itself.

So, Medda Larkson knew Mr. Sullivan and she therefore knew Francis Sullivan. She may even be the only character in Newsies we meet who knew Francis Sullivan (not counting Snyder, but he doesn't really count anyways). Medda knew Jack before he was Jack and Medda knew Jack before he was sent to the refuge. She knew his family before it fell apart.

Medda Larkson is also an interesting a character because she is a vaudeville actress at the turn of the century. She's also an older unmarried woman at the turn of the century, evidenced by the fact that Medda owns her theatre (married women could not independently own property in 1890s America).

If you know anything about the history of theatre, you probably know that, like many other professions, acting was a boys' club for much of its history. In its birthplace of ancient Greece, female characters in plays were always, without exception, played by men and boys. Over the years this changed, and by the 1890s an actress was not such an unheard of oddity, however they were very taboo in polite society and often equated with prostitutes.

An actress was in direct contrast to the era's ideal vision of femininity. While society dictated that a women be domestic and modest, actresses found the freedom to be loud and independent. Just like their male counterparts, actresses took care of their own bills and negotiated their own contracts. Theatrical costumes also gave women a chance to challenge convention, shocking audiences with the image of a woman who was confident in both her mind and her body.

Now, Medda in both the film and the stage musical is a force to be reckoned with. But I think that the film Medda isn't as appreciated as she should be because modern audiences just don't realize the significance of her costumes or of her more flirtatious stage acts. Medda Larkin (the stage musical Medda) simply presents a more modern portrayal of feminism that is more easily identified by today's audience, which isn't a bad thing! Sometimes it is better to present historical ideas in a way that contemporary audiences will understand so that they achieve the same impression. But this can also skew our understanding of historical views and make us blind to historical context. (I've written in the past about the different portrayals of Medda here if you're interested.)

To wrap things up, Medda Larkson is the one person in Jack's life who really knows him, and she's the person he goes to when he's in trouble. When Jack Kelly arrives with David and Les in tow at Medda's theatre, Snyder is long gone. But he ran to her anyways.

Apart from her connection to Jack and his family, Medda is a compelling character in her own right even with the few scenes we have of her. She is an actress and the owner of her own theatre. She is confident in herself and isn't afraid to cause ripples, whether that means living life on her own terms or standing up for the newsies and supporting their strike.

There's a lot we just don't know about Medda, but we do know this: Miss Medda Larkson is a badass.

Anyway asshole sneezed yesterday while I was driving and I nearly wrecked my car lmao

[littencloud9]

i love u nekoma & karasuno i love you SO MUCH

[well-its-kind-of-a-long-story]

I’m a demon, I lie.

[roseofhybrids]

firstly, when you get this, answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers. Have a good day! ✨️

I literally read yours and was like "dang would I be able to come up with 5 about myself? Well, I haven't been asked, so I don't have to think about it-" and what shows up in a few seconds later?! (light-hearted, this will be tricky, but I do enjoy getting asked questions like these sometimes)

ok, let's see here-

I like how my art looks these days. There's still some areas I want to work on, but I like how much I've improved the last couple years and am developing an art style I really enjoy

I like how I'm able to accept myself as being aroace without any reservations. I've heard a lot of stories about others feeling like they're broken in some way for not feeling romantic or sexual attraction. But I never felt that way about myself, I like that I didn't feel the need to pressure myself into fitting in and was content to just live my life without that kind of partner no matter what anyone else had to say about it

I like being able to remember so many fun facts. Even when the info is often useless and can't really help with anything on the day to day. I enjoy learning new and interesting things and like how I'm able to hold on to all sorts of little tidbits and interesting ideas

I like that I'm able to be comfortable in my own skin. We all know how bad people's body images can be these days. People using filters and editing when they post photos of them selves, countless tutorials on how to this or that to your face or body, endless supplies of anti-aging products that even teens are using. I like that I'm able to accept that I look the way that I look and that there's no problem with that. Pale skin with long dark arm hair, stretch marks from when I hit my growth spurt, scars on my hands, only 5 feet tall, not having a flat stomach. It is what it is, that's how my body is, and I'm ok with it

I like how I'm able to keep my patience. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. I still get annoyed when I have to wait a long time for things, having to repeat once or twice, other people standing in the way and having to wait for them to finish something before I can get past. It's annoying, and it can be grating. But I like that I'm able to keep myself calm and wait it out without snapping at others. People can often being annoying or slow, but I don't need to always need to comment on it or pester them to hurry up. Minor inconveniences aren't something I need to let myself get worked up over
