The reason why I can’t deal with either bnha or atla discourse is because I’m of the apparently controversial opinion that it doesn’t matter if it’s a result of child abuse, if your sibling is causing you great harm or trying to kill you (or helpless civilians and children) then you are fully within your right to cut them out or not take their feelings into account
Zuko doesn’t owe azula anything and the todoroki kids would not be selfish or inconsiderate for being angry at touya
#obviously they deserve the right to get better#like everyone#but their siblings don’t have an obligation to be part of that#this is coming from someone who has forgiven close family members for hitting me#like I know you can forgive a lot#the point is that they don’t have to#bnha#mha#fuyumi todoroki#natsuo todoroki#touya todoroki#dabi#atla#zuko#azula

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously
#don’t mind me just chewing on drywall#some of the absolute best comics don’t look remotely impressive until you try to make one yourself#and some absolutely beautiful panel layouts and art combine to make a stunning visual that barely manages to get any meaning across#you have to emulate cinematography by cultural necessity at this point#but if you lean too hard in that direction your comics just become Worse Movies#there’s barely any standard practices for anything because people are just barely starting to look at comics seriously#mumbling

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’
#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭#for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this#but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films.#NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days#and got blank stares each time#the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized#my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like#i’m getting off the point#the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

every time I say “starting nooooow I won’t have any major expenses” something HAPPENS! there’s raw sewage backing up from my drains, and apparently the plumbers will need to break the floor and the wall to get to the pipes and fix it.
if the cat stuff hadn’t wiped out my bank account, this would be annoying but manageable. as it is…..I’m going to try to get everything up in the store for Friday.
#it’s hard because I’m trying not to push myself too hard with mono#the nerve damage stuff is scary#so I’m doing my best to have a zen attitude about all these goings on#but like another surprise 3.5k expense?? how is anyone supposed to live in this world?#there will reach a point where I’m forced to sell this house.#because I don’t know how much longer I can do this all#sorry to be nothing but complaints recently. but things have been hard!

it’s so crazy that i grew up in a town with like 300 people and now i live in a city with over 66,000. anything can happen
#yet again i do not give a flying fuck if you don’t think 66k qualifies as A City bc where you live has more people. Not the point of this#and this is Not About You. not every post is for you#you do not have to be pretentious about this. Of all things. dear god

an ex-zionist jewish man recently went a bit viral on tiktok for sharing exactly how he sees zionism tie israel to the jewish identity and his personal experience with breaking away from it - I think it’s a really great watch.
He also made a follow up talking specifically about how he learned to humanise Palestinians, and a really integral part of it was his school, which would often bring in Palestinian speakers who’d share their perspective (here’s a link to it).
#tiktok against all odds inspires a lot of hope in me bc of how prevalent palestinian support is over there#so much of the younger generation is so media literate and articulate about standing up to oppression#and getting perspectives like this I think is really beneficial when it comes to understanding where Zionist talking points come from#I don’t particularly think right now our priority should be reaching out to zionists or anything#it should always be Palestinians at the forefront of activism our activism#but this is educational. Zionism is not Judaism and this proves that.#it’s never too late to turn away from oppressive propaganda and have empathy for your fellow man#palestine#israel#free palestine#from the river to the sea

“America has no culture” is an inherently racist statement. Especially when talking about California, which has enormous populations (yes, plural) of Hispanic and Asian immigrants.
It’s such a self report that you see the American hegemony, the American monolith, as a singularly white entity that’s worthy of scorn. I want that person to look at the Black American NYC Miku design and tell me with their full chest that that isn’t culture. Especially when modern pop culture owes so much to Black American culture — hip hop, language, streetwear and fashion, pop music, jazz — as is actively erasing their roots, saying all of America has no culture is a dumbass statement.
Also, “all the US Mikus are dressed in generic casual street style for coolish weather.” The original Brazilian Miku is wearing sunglasses, a crop top, short shorts, a bikini, and flip flops you absolute dunce. If you’re gonna be rude at least be consistent.
#not even to mention indigenous folks#personal#delete later#obligatory I don’t like the us I’m not a patriot#but saying this is like saying us doesn’t have it’s own food#TELL ME you’ve never had soul food without telling me you’ve never had soul food#‘we’re not talking about poc Americans though white Americans have no culture’ does my Miku design look white to you.#I think that account got dusted overnight but if they’re still here I’m not surprised if they make a#qualifying backtracking ‘what I meant was’ statement#hey maybe next time if you have a point to make don’t come out the gate swinging like an asshole and yell big generalizing claims

real talk the absolute fucking selfishness of helena diaz to keep eddie out of the loop with the birthday party and the invitations and purposefully not bringing him to sing happy birthday to his son while also making the moment eddie’s been planning for god knows how long less than a 30 seconds video chat is repulsive. fuck you helena. fuck you

Every day we inch closer to finding out what the hell the German dub of the Mighty Nein cartoon is going to do about Caleb.
#critical role#the mighty nein#they’ve excitedly stated that Caleb is going to be speaking more German in the series#because they’ll have time to script it and Liam can practice his phrasing#but the point of it is that Caleb is a character primarily speaking his second language#and his first language is one the other characters don’t understand#so. what does the dub do?#is he French? Swedish?

Watching Gravity Falls for the first time in 2024 is certainly an experience.
Because there is a lot of fandom overlap, so of course I’ve seen fanart before, but I didn’t have the context for it.
So I entered Gravity Falls with two key pieces of knowledge:
1. There is apparently toxic triangle yaoi.
2. Everybody is a CHICKEN.
#I’m confused#having a great time though!#I only just finished season 1 so I still don’t understand half of what I’ve seen#as for the second point#if you know you know#(clears throat) wolfythewitch#gravity falls#gravity fowls#madbard rambles

Eddie, during a live-stream: Stevie, what’s the worst drug you’ve ever done?
Steve: *looks at the camera and then gives Eddie a look that clearly says ‘I’m not fucking answering that.’*
Steve: No, actually. I will answer. It was Adderall when I mixed up our medications on accident.
Eddie: Oh, yeah. I remember that. You felt normal.
Steve: Yeah, I was fine. Nothing happened.
Eddie, making eye contact with the camera: Yeah. And we chose not examine that any further.
#Steve’s real answer is ketamine#last time Eddie pointed out that Steve was a little ADHD-coded he said: I don’t have time for that#and then they literally never talked about it again#eddie munson tiktok saga#steve harrington#eddie munson
