NICOLE: “Have you seen what’s going on out there? The whole town’s gone 51-50. Whatever you got planned, I’m game.”
DOLLS: “Hey, this is classified.”
DOC:
*looks at him and rolls his eyes, turns to Nicole*
“Purgatory’s overrun by demon revenants, aka Wyatt Earp’s resurrected outlaws. Bobo Del Rey is their leader, I am Doc Holliday. Yes, that Doc Holliday. And Dolls here, he is just a dick.”
NICOLE: “Finally! Thank you. It… Actually it makes perfect sense.
*Dolls looks at her*
… Except for the last part.”
DOC:
*throws her a rifle*
“You still in?”
NICOLE:
*cocks the rifle*
“Like Flynn. What do you need?”
And that’s how I knew Deputy Redheaded Lesbian Haught was going to stay for the long haul in this show despite the fact that she gets shot. That’s why I wasn’t worried and they couldn’t get the shock out of me when it happened. I knew that she was being treated as a real character and not a caricature in this show.
They canonized two female characters as a ship and I knew that it was just the beginning and not the end.
This is how you write a queer female character! Sure, Katherine is still only a side/recurring/seasonal regular but her character wasn’t sacrificed to bump up any of the main character’s story arcs and developments.
She’s a significant stand-alone character.
That’s how you fucking do it!
Thank you, Emily Andras!

#cardcaptor sakura#eriol hiiragizawa#kind of aged up??? definitely not as an elementary schooler#I love just projecting my ideal gender onto my favorite characters <3#other thoughts on him#for old fandoms like this there’s a certain itch in my mind that can only be satisfied by shitty crossovers#unfortunately I have not found crossovers that are bearable to read currently 😔#and i don’t want to start another writing project#so I will simply humor the ideas in my mind a bit

something im really appreciating, watching the olympics, is that while all the athletes are demigods that are absolutely at their physical peaks for each sport NONE OF THEM have instagram face. despite the homogenous nature of social media that’s been creeping into all media since the late 2000s all the athletes look so different. noses! jawlines! lips! eyes! everyone i see on tv looks like a real person and i am LOVING IT
#body image tw#body positive#olympics#paris 2024#text#many smarter people than me have had the body image convo/weight convo and i simply won’t break into it here#but ive not seen anyone have the face convo yet#and im obsessed with just how different everyone looks#in a world of dominated by influences with face shaping and lip filler people having an ordinary face is refreshing#i mean again have plastic surgery if u want u kno but urges don’t exist in a vacuum

my friend dimple
#been having a lot of dimple emotions recently#he gets called a pet or errand boy but he’s so much more than that. he’s so important to mob#dimple has saved mob countless times and gets to witness some of mobs most intense and violent forms#the human and inhuman are equally close to mob. as a spirit dimple has a very unique and critical role in mobs life#mob is at once human and otherworldly#just like simple#they are friends guys is anyone listening#mob brought dimple back simply bc he missed him so much#like WHAT. that’s insane. guys they have a bond that’s quite literally unmatched it’s incomparable to all the other relationships mob has#i can’t properly describe how i feel about them just know#also don’t tag as sh//ip unless you want cinderblocks tied to your ankles and then be thrown into the mariana trench#mob psycho 100#mp100#mob psycho fanart#shigeo kageyama#ekubo#mp100 dimple#art#treeart#dimple not simple. sigh.

yeah. enjoy ^_^
#THEY MAKE ME ILL WHAT THE SHIT#I AM GOING TO EXPLODE#fiddauthor#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddleauthor#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#ford pines#gravity falls fiddleford#stanford pines#gravity falls#normal about them.#the first occurs in the comic btw.#doomed yaoi#no because ford get your head in the game. there’s a married man that wants you more than he wants anything else.#I’m just as oblivious as him though. I can’t be talking.#also fiddleford how does it feel spending all your college years hopelessly pining for your roommate#and feeling frustrated with the lack of romantic progression because neither of you can read signals for shit#so when you inevitably don’t amount to anything and are forced to just ignore anything that may have ever existed between you two#you spitefully get hitched and have a kid to prove to yourself that you’re a) straight and b) not just some loser coward#but all along you’ve just known he was the right one for you. nobody could ever compare to what he gave you#everyone else has simply acted as a replacement or substitution for what you felt for him. you can’t shake the feeling ever.#and when years later you get a call from him you justify immediately leaving to work on the project as a) your entitlement to him and b)#a desperate and hopeless attempt at rekindling your college days#HOW DOES IT FEEL FIDDLEFORD

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#all Leos mortal enemy: toasters#side note but thinking about this aspect of Leo’s character really has me wanting to make a deeper dive into Leo as a Jack of All Trades#because he has aspects of this all throughout the series#where he can do many things he’s just not the best at it#like he can cook but he’s no Mikey#he can - canonically - rewire an *AI PROGRAM* but it goes very wrong#he can lift both Mikey and Raph simultaneously but he struggles to do so where his other brothers don’t even break a sweat#bro is a Jack of All Trades Master of None frfr#and Leo is even more interesting with this in mind because he uses what he CAN do so well#it’s like how he can see his family’s strengths and weaknesses and knows exactly how they work#his skill set is made way better simply by his personal USE of those skills not by the skills themselves#portals and teleportation are only op if you know how to weaponize them#given time he ABSOLUTELY could#okay I shut up now this was supposed to be about toasters#but yeah all the boys have a bunch of skills under their belts outside the typical ones#but Leo stands out to me for having skills his other brothers have but to a much lesser degree in a lot of cases#and he works with what he has so well that that is a skill in itself

TRADITIONAL TOAD GARB PEACH LETS GOOOOOOOO
#smb#princess peach#no id#giddly’s art#inhales. Okay. listen#while i understand why they did it i have beef with the fact that the peach toad garb scene in the smb movie saw her in a tee shirt#listen to me. the toads do not have gender norms. i’m pretty sure they don’t have gender at all [?]#i have NO reason to believe that peach would be the ONLY one in the kingdom wearing a shirt. like why. WHY#however i do think that by the time she got old enough to travel outside the mushroom kingdom and was exposed to other cultures#her wardrobe would get more variety simply because she would become interested in other kinds of garments. like ok#but the toads have a completely different society altogether. they all dress Exactly the same#they’re like. smurfs. actually the parallels between the smurfs / smurfette & princess peach / her toads are so numerous it’s not even funn#ANYWAY what i’m trying to say is that they would raise her like one of their own. they wouldn’t treat her any differently#she [HOLD THAT THOT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT TOADETTE EXISTS AND LOOKED HER UP. SHE WEARS A FUCKING SHIRT.#OKAY WHATTTTEVER. i refuse to believe the toad society of all fucking things cares about gender norms#whatever. it’s my hc and i can do whatever i want forever#source: my beautiful mind

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.
The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.
Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.
If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?
Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.
#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#and before I get any angry anons saying I’m making the argument that both sides are the same#I am not. and nowhere did I say that#and if your immediate reaction to any amount of criticism of leftist spaces or communication#is knee jerk outrage and defensiveness#this is an invitation to explore why that is for you.#this isn’t about anyone on here this is from conversations I’ve had with a few people IRL who have shared leftist misinformation a lot#so if you’re feeling attacked by this post and I haven’t directly spoken to you multiple times about misinformation with you responding bac#this isn’t. a vague post. about you. okay?#I cannot reiterate enough THIS IS AFTER IRL INTERACTIONS NOT A CAL OUT VAGUEPOST#and as one final note. IF YOU FOLLOW PEOPLE. WHO CONSTANTLY USE. THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORDING CHOICES POSSIBLE.#YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.#no one communicating in true good faith to ALL PEOPLE about facts uses loaded language more than occasionally#the sooner you learn that the better. and that really starts narrowing down the pool of who you want to actually listen to (while still#verifying anything they tell you)#get higher standards!!!! and read some books or watch lectures about actual effective communication to broad groups without using tribalism#and also. anyone on the left trying to convince you of massive efforts and conspiracies that are anti everything#is also wrong 99% of the time and not a good source to listen to#never EVER assume conspiracy when it can be more simply explained through either#ignorance obliviousness incompetence financial greed or misunderstandings#the end. I’m really done this time. I’m just sick of seeing so many people fall prey to this#shh katie#cult escapee#politics and current events#don’t get swept up in the constant tsunami of performative online activism#election 2024#world events

I think taking Jimmy at face value with his “attracted to cartoon horses” thing is a mistake. I think in hindsight, the subtext is pretty clear that he said that to make Anya uncomfortable. Taking him at face value is the mistake that curly makes (albeit curly thinks he’s joking).
I also don’t think depicting a Jimmy with morally taboo paraphilias is necessarily missing the point, but I do think there’s this impulse to make him ~sexually deviant~ in a way that serves to distance him from “normal society.” As if he isn’t supposed to be emblematic of it.
Like, I think if you’re genuinely trying to explore that, you have to grapple with the idea that Jimmy himself thinks he’s normal. He isn’t “deviant and loving it” or whatever. He isn’t a sadist knowing and loving the harm he’s doing.* He’s genuinely convinced himself he’s a normal guy. He does not want to grapple with the harm he’s done. Jimmy’s way of getting around guilt is refusing to admit he’s done anything he needs to feel guilty about.
Jimmy wouldn’t be secretly guilty and self-flagellating about it. (Actively. He DOES feel guilt, but subconsciously.) He also wouldn’t be openly “admitting” this to Anya if he were being serious. It’s a joke, Curly’s right to take it as such. But it’s subtextually a joke at Anya’s expense. Something to make her uncomfortable.
Thinking that Jimmy associating Polle with both Anya and the unborn baby is something that came first, as a serious thing before the joke, is a mistake imo. I think it’s something that comes back to bite him when the subconscious guilt starts getting a little less subconscious. A joke association twisted into a more serious one by Jimmy’s unrelenting refusal to see Anya as a person.
* The exception here is people Jimmy thinks “deserve” the harm being done to them. “Morally justifiable harm,” if you will. I think Jimmy does take some satisfaction from hurting a post-crash curly, for example, but he justifies that to himself with the idea that Curly “looked down on him in the same way” pre-crash. He always has to view the harm he does acknowledge doing as punching up harm. He always has to be the righteous one.
#mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#mouthwashing analysis#misogyny#tbc this isn’t about the posts that are clearly jokes#I think a lot of people are aware of this and simply wanna take cheap brony potshots at Jimmy#which. fair lmao#but I do think there is a wider problem of people just. refusing to engage with this character in any way that isn’t just#making him cartoonishly evil. making him ALL the bad things#Jimmy is in part supposed to be a mirror. something to prompt uncomfortable thoughts on how you yourself might rationalize-#your own harmful behaviors. Just taken to an extreme#and I get why people don’t want to engage with this. but I don’t think the solution is going ‘oh but if you DO engage with him like this-#it means you are a Bad Person while I am a Good Person bc I don’t want to acknowledge I could even be the same species as this guy’#because clearly what the game was going for is that denial of your own possibility/capacity for violence and harm is good actually /s#anyways. new year NOT new me another ten thousand walls of text abt mouthwashing be upon ye

Caitlyn literally went to war for the cooch. Caitlyn LOST AN EYE FOR THE COOCH. She set the bar imo.
#‘She caused the war!’ That’s arguable but ykw I’ll give it to you a LITTLE BIT#That is still my girl#She saw her butch and was re-radicalized on the spot don’t pmo#Idk how people say that she should’ve apologized and she didn’t do enough and she’s beyond redemption#She’s not even asking to be redeemed cuz she knows she can’t be!!!!! She literally says no one can just get rid of their mistakes!!!!!#Or something like that#she doesn’t say sorry because it literally wouldn’t MEAN anything. She’s here for the cause and DO SOMETHING about her mistakes#And all the mistakes that led to her privilege#Idk what else I could’ve wanted from her tbh#She released the person that murdered her mother. She didn’t even put jinx in prison!!!! She was in a bunker below the kirammansion !!!!!#Why do they even have a bunker lmao#Anyway doesn’t matter#I feel like we really don’t have to forgive Caitlyn and that’s simply not what she’s asking for#Maybe I’ll make a fr post about this soon lol but for now I’m ranting in the tags#caitvi#Arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane s2#caitlyn#caitlyn kiramman#caitlyn arcane

Look. Here’s the thing. Even if The Heart Killers is “bad” (it’s not) but even if it is (it isn’t)… I don’t really care because it’s so deeply unhinged and silly that even if it is bad it’s still entertaining. And at the end of the day, that’s what I want. I want to be entertained.
The Heart Killers is not a mirror that you hold up where you see yourself and your moral standards and ideals reflected and explored. It’s a gateway into a batshit insane world where you suspend your disbelief and just let yourself be whisked away by deranged queer fantasy.
#and isn’t that what we want?#haven’t we been clamouring for years to have queer media that isn’t just simply coming of age#or heart wrenching brokeback mountain or the crying game#type stories#don’t we all want to see queer stories be MORE than that#but when shows with morally grey queer characters being messy it’s like NOOOOO#where is this puritanical push coming from#the heart killers#thk

Would
(go to one of his theatrical broadway-wannabe concerts or perhaps a late night gameshow comedy hour sketch performance. I’m not too picky I’d be willing to pay money just to see him perform anything period)
Yea I felt like doing something silly in order to break away from the dread of finals week coming up. What can I say? I’m a professional procrastinator. But man oh man it was a good call this time around—I mean just look as this scrumptious masterpiece right here. Time well spent for sure. Genuinely I believe to have cooked with it chat /j
This is a version without the added stars by the way. And the second one is obviously just raw image reference/the original “bereal concert meme” source. I was very tempted to put Puzzles in that same exact outfit—however I decided it would be overly time consuming to make two separate versions. Maybe once finals are over I’ll be able to do that :)
#Obviously the abrupt ‘would’ was only referring to watching him not alluding to anything else don’t read into subtext or innuendos teehee#I’ve officially gone bananas over this pathetic twink#what does this say about me? honestly I’m still trying to figure that one out chief#are the rumors about me listening to Billie Eilish’s ‘Lunch’ continuously while drawing this true? I won’t tell :)#sorry once again I find myself in the delicate situation of wondering if I want to be that man or if I want to be with him#or if I simply wanna admire him from afar and cheer him on like the rabid fan/stan I have become#all the questions running rampant in the mind of an aroace who somehow wound up with this fruity man as a comfort character#ladies and gentlemen welcome to the mind fuck (cue the song ‘Mind Brand’) /j#….sorry I think I’m getting progressively less coherent with these tags every time I post lmfao help#it’s just so fun writing whatever nonsense comes into my mind first#smg4 bereal concert meme#mr puzzles bereal concert meme#bereal concert meme but Mr. Puzzles smg4#bereal concert meme mr puzzles#yea okay think we are in the clear with all the oddly specific tags—now time to see if my art finally makes it to Google images lol#hplonesome art

#the demi experience of ‘is this a crush or are we just really good friends’#yes im projecting shut up#not to mention fabian whose comphet goes so hard he can’t even consider the reason he’s constantly bringing up riz around girls#mazey ily but baby do not date that boy#this has me thinking about that sophmore year moment where murph implies riz stayed up all night to watch fabian dance in fallinel#like I’ll throw up wdym he didn’t want to dance but still stayed to be with fabian#maybe this is the day I finally open a document and write a little scene about that#because murph simply cannot insinuate that and just expect me to move on#like. sorry ? he was there all night just watching him ? no way that wasn’t a night of an intense examination of his life and feelings#not that I don’t love the idea of aroace riz#it just fucks me up so bad when I read into all the accidental subtext murph and lou add so casually#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhjy spoilers#fabriz

shitty and dangerous friend vs literal eldritch god physically and psychologically abusing his ex-worshipper to the brink of complete insanity
#it’s honestly stupid but it just pisses me off that ppl think this is the same dynamic#yes ford brought fiddleford into very dangerous and traumatic situations and dismissed his concerns#but fiddleford had complete autonomy the entire time. he could back out if he wanted#i think when ppl compare these dynamics they’re thinking of billford through a watered down lens#when bill literally took advantage of a praise-hungry man who was ridiculed his whole life and used him until he was no longer useful#ford’s assholishness was due to neglect#not maliciousness#ford pines#gravity falls#stanford pines#also bill was planting seeds of doubt into his mind and actively encouraging him to distrust fiddleford#i cannot stress how much these are Not The Same#bill wanted to completely control ford’s life#ford simply wanted a lab partner#and i also cannot stress enough that i am Not excusing ford’s behavior i just don’t think it’s on the same level as bill’s treatment of ford#bill cipher#fiddleford mcgucket#cw abuse mention#fictional abuse#book of bill
