i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

A little costume with eyebrow whiskers again.. making their return lol..

[halflifebutawesome]

I see that tomrey tag on the ghostbusters au pleaseeeee talk about them 🥺. You're a voice for the people

LOOKS AROUND ALL NERVOUS.

YEAGH. tomrey..... UMMM. well. Like I said ☝️ my AU my weirdly specific personal tommybeny dynamic.

This is also just kinda tied into my personal hlvrai canon thoughts but like. Ok. When Tommy was like..... probably a teenager..... Benry (a teen-aged Fucking Thing) escaped through a Crack in the fabric between the world of the living and the ghost realm and ended up meeting Tommy who was out on his first ghost bust.

Tommy's like. Pretty in-tune with ghosts and their presences/energies so he just kind of. Decided to befriend Benry on the spot and drag him around with him. I think Bubby and Coomer and Gman I think always. Kept an Eye On Benry because they figured out pretty quickly that Ben wasn't like..... a normal ghost and was some sort of entity.

But all that to say they were just always kind of casually affectionate with eachother to the point where I don't know If it ever was an official like. "Now We Are Partners" thing but it was just kind of like. They just kind of were always like that. Kissies and naps together and just generally joined at the hip. Tommy I think Knows what Benry is and is kinda trying to avoid talking about it for fear of something Happening to Benry.

TLDR they kind of grew up together and it was just a natural and casual progression of their dynamic. They're just kind of goofy I dunno

When the AU kicks off with the Resonance Crossrip, Tommy isn't on the bust where they capture Benry in the trap, otherwise he probably would've protested quite a bit lol.

have this warmup from yesterday also smiles

a list of creatures my sister has likened alex turner to:

• a rat hungry for cheese

• a porpoise

• a french duck called gertrude

• a strange but alluring woodland cryptid

• “one of those birds that mate for life and do really weird showy sexual dances to entice their partner”

• bambi in a leather jacket

• “some kind of mysterious siren”

SO, when I get into a new thing, I like to make a bunch of AUs and stuff

soooo you know what that meeeaaaaaannnnnssssss

who’s up for a Buddy and King JJ swap AU-

💜💙✨ King Bubblebuddy (might change his name, not sure if I like it) and Counselor Jerry ✨💙💜

Extra Info :

okay I know the whole point of a swap AU is swapping their roles and personalities, but I still like to think the lore is different lol

Like, for example, Jerry is a lot more awkward and nervous than normal Buddy is

And also, King BB’s origins were different, I like to think he was a completely normal person, before getting stuck in the cave (somehow), breaking his legs while falling down the stairs, losing his marbles and having to eat snails to survive down there, and then transforming into … whatever big, blue, blobby creature King BB is due to the radiation- (idk how I thought of that, I feel like it’s a bit dark, but hey)

… also, King BB is larger than he is in the pic, I had to make him smaller so he would fit lol

and here’s some extra doodles and memes-

[parasiticstars]

I saw a reel with some comments that absolutely pissed me off to no end so

‼️THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO PEOPLE WITH SEVERE STING/BITE ALLERGIES OR TO PEOPLE WITH ARACHNOPHOBIA OR ENTOMOPHOBIA‼️

please reblog for sample size and give your reasoning!

[satorugojoswiife]

What do you think about gojo ships

I feel like I'm pretty indifferent to most of them. This is super cringe of me, but whenever I fall super in love with a character I don't often like shipping them romantically with anyone. 💀 (im delusional I know)

It doesn't help that for some reason the jjk fandom (especially twt) is weirdly aggressive about ships. I know it isn't all the shippers and it's mostly just the loud minority, but seeing so much of the discourse has kinda put me off and I don't really engage much with the ships in the fandom except for rarepairs and selfships bc alot of the time those communities are more wholesome and cozy (if that makes sense LOL)

probably one of the most important verses in terminus i think and yeah, it’s just kuukou’s way of life but also it’s kuukou’s way of life lmao

in probably over half of the stories kuukou’s in, there’s a point of how kuukou’s too inexperienced to be able to guide/lead properly;

he leaves home to show how good of a leader he is and finds out real quick lol

shakku assigns jyushi’s training to kuukou so he can be better

kuukou hits a wall training jyushi bc he’s relying on the only experience he’s had with training and isn’t looking at jyushi properly

that ‘blindness’ is the root of his conflict in harmonious cooperation, he blindly assumes he can solve jyushi and hitoya’s problems really quick and shakku literally chews him out over it, saying he’s young and to value the journey getting there (it also bears pointing out that the above verse is kuukou not rushing ahead as means of enrichment, but walking and resting)

i personally believe the curry drama tracks have been hinting at this round of drama track developments, and y’all don’t understand lmao, the way jyushi and hitoya were thinking it’d be nice if the people eating their curry could feel the effort that went into it was followed by the most poignant silence, only for kuukou to grouch there’s no point if they aren’t experiencing it themselves just feels like it’s relevant lol

like it all just comes back to kuukou and using his experience to guide. so about that ‘yesterday’s shaky retreat’ verse in terminus, it was pointed out that kuukou had said something very similar in young gun of the sun

and young gun of the sun is literally kuukou guiding based on how he knows what it’s like to suffer (and to feel so bad about a mistake he wants to die), so all this to say i think that verse is literally nothing but kuukou finding forgiveness in himself for something he did, and maybe that past mistake was so severe he thought the end of his life was the best answer

[greensaplinggrace]

highly specific pet peeve of mine when it comes to sab is that none of the characters act with any kind of wariness when they should. like the grisha would not be celebrating in the king’s court with genuine displays of emotion (and obvious shows of rivalry that can be exploited) for all of the otkazat’sya nobles to see. aleksander shouldn’t be showing so much genuine emotion in front of the king or any otkazat’sya (noble or not, they’re all threats to him after all). everyone should be tenser when they’re in court or around authority figures, and the ways they disregard authority are bizarre. that would have you flogged in any monarchy during that time period.

it feels like the writers don’t really grasp the setting or what it means to the characters. these people are soldiers, and even worse, they’re soldiers that are apart of a persecuted class. they should not be so comfortable in areas or around people where they would be thinking about their every little move and how it could be taken advantage of if it was shown. vulnerability should not be tossed around so carelessly by people who should be startlingly aware of life’s atrocities.

honestly, genya is the only character that even acts remotely like she should, in that she is always tense and wary and holding herself like someone who knows they can be hurt at any moment. and even then she’s loose in the king’s court (the king) when she would be at the height of her wariness and paranoia.

AND ACTUALLY tbh it's on my mind because lately, I've been thinking about how/if Bakugo gets all soft when he's older. Not personality wise, but all sentimental about shit, you know?

Keeping every single photo and note and being really annoying abt never wanting to fight with you even if he's STEAMING mad about something. Trying so hard to be nice to Deku and Todoroki, actually calling them his friends (even if he's still mean to them about the billboard charts) and wanting to do stuff with them.

Not to mention how he tries to plan couples activities when he can (even if it's difficult, like HIKING or CAMPING)... and actually saying sorry. Like now he gets pissed if you don't want to talk shit out and you're mad because since when did he become the mature one? HE'S LYING.

I don't know. I do think he goes all soft eventually, though. Even if he's like fifty when it happens and never actually able to drop the lip.

[queenlua]

the median nature/wilderness guide is like. 40something woman named Joan; more terrifyingly fit than you'll ever be but has never been to a Real Gym TM in her life; dropped out of college but reads more voraciously than like 95% of college grads; spent some time in the military but is vague about it in a "smells like PTSD" kinda way; utterly inscrutable politics outside of a general interest in UFOs; is somewhat cagey when mentioning their partner s.t. it's entirely unclear whether the partner is another woman, an ex-con, a partner-in-a-heist-kinda-way, or a UFO fanatic; laughs a lot; has specific names for specific rocks you encounter; talks to deer like they're people. and god i love her so much
