my teaching course is so funny because i've not told anyone my pronouns or mentioned my gender so everyone is just guessing wildly every time they refer to me

Noticing that Jax hasn't gotten to do what he wants for 2 episodes (at least not fully, he's usually held back by the others to a frustrating degree) and at the end of both he is forced to see right before his eyes that the people in the circus care about one another and he noticeably brushes off or avoids that fact

I just think these expressions are very interesting

Can we please stop bullying new writers and discourage them to grow in their hobby and start bullying the nasty individuals that send anon hate instead? Thank you.

Making Aegon a rapist was straight up bad and lazy writing.

Let me elaborate.

In the show, the first thing we learn about Aegon as an adult is that he is a rapist. We haven’t seen him yet but still we already know that he is an horrible despicable rapist, especially since Dyana is so young, which pretty much makes him a pedophile too. How could anyone root for a man like that ? And that’s where the problem begins.

Rhaenyra had already been established many times as the rightful heir to the throne in season 1. It has been made obvious that she would make a decent Queen too. In the meantime, it had already been shown that Aegon is not even a good person. He’s selfish, inconsiderate, a bully, and does not act like a prince at all. To put it plainly, he sucks big time and we as viewers already know it. Add what we saw in season 2, how reckless he gets, how he’s an alcoholic immature asshole, how he obviously knows nothing about strategics nor how to rule efficiently, or even how bad he is at high valyrian, and you can’t have anyone tell you in good faith that he would’ve been a better ruler than Rhaenyra.

However, had Aegon not been made a rapist, you would still feel for him even though he is not cut out to rule. Because he knows it too and tried to escape it and he was forced to attend his own coronation . Because this crown that he did not want does not fit him, even though he really tries to show that he is not as worthless as everyone seems to think and he just keeps failing. You would feel for him because the war ,that he has started when he was made an usurper by the people around him, has cost him his son’s life. Because the brother, who is partially responsible for his son’s death has now betrayed him and tried to kill him with dragonfire. Because the injuries he suffered make him look more and more like his father who never cared for him, never loved him and that he definitely hates. Which also probably why he tries so hard to make his mother proud of him and love him but he can’t and his main attempt has left him half-dead, half-burn. Not only that but his dragon, with whom he has the strongest bond known in Targaryen’s, history probably died during this futile attempt to prove himself. The only thing about his Targaryen’s heritage that he seems to care about has been destroyed all because he wanted to prove himself. Because he truly resents his Targaryen’s, his father’s heritage, it’s obvious, just as it is obvious that he didn’t want to marry his own sister but was forced to. It’s completely legitimate of him to want to distance himself as much as possible from everything that is Targaryen related. He is indeed more of an Hightower than a Targaryen, but can you really blame him for that ? Would you not try to fit somewhere else too, if you were in his place ? It’s all absolutely and undeniably tragic.

I wholeheartdely believe that, even if you would’ve root for Rheanyra to be Queen, you woud’ve probably still thought that Aegon, as bad as he is, did not deserves this much pain.

But because he is a rapist, well, he honestly does.

By not trusting the audience to see that Aegon is not a good person, nor a good a king, without having him comitting a literal crime, by making Aegon a rapist, the writers have annihilated any possibilities for an internal conflict regarding Aegon and Rhaenyra. The whole concept of « teams » just goes down the drain because of this lazy, manichaean, writing. And that, my friends, is bad writing at its peak.

[bixels]

everyone already sucking ya dick in the notes so to clarify it’s fine if you draw lesbian shit but if it’s the ONLY thing you draw and it’s the ONLY shit that makes you so popular and you’re literally only known for your lesbian art that’s weird man. “uuu we need more lesbian content uu” yeah from LESBIANS! lesbians in the notes stand up like why u want man-made lesbian content so bad. also put your pronouns somewhere dude it’s not hard

Alright, I agree. I should be doing more, so I'm gonna be expanding my art content.

Honestly, it is so funny remembering that Annabeth Chase's literal, stated, canonical fatal flaw is hubris.

Rick Riordan was like, "This clever, neurodivergent preteen girl believes that she is smarter than the gods, and she will get the chance to prove herself right," and he was correct. 😌

Spinning Silver is also one of my favorite enemies-to-lovers stories, not least of all because it is ACTUAL enemies-to-lovers. None of this watery rivals-to-lovers nonsense. They are trying to kill each other for most of the book and it is DELIGHTFUL.

Second best part is that they are literally just reliving the plot of Pride and Prejudice, this time with fire demons.

I have been playing the funny haha wizard spec ops game and getting overly attached to all the wrong characters. Steve Clark, Traffic Warlock, my beloved

Also, it's coming up to summertime here in Australia, and every time I go to try and draw Steve, I can't bring myself to finish it because—as adorable as it is—his high-vis robe looks like it'd be unbearably hot to wear. So I did what I do best and drew him some clothes he could wear in warmer weather.

Didn't realise until after I started colouring it that my new sketchbook has shit paper and the pencils don't work properly, which made me sad because it looked very cool when it was just the line art but oh well. Maybe I'll try again someday with a better sketchbook.

while waiting in line to vote, i got into it with a man fucking BLASTING country music about how this is "god's country" from his phone at full volume (song on repeat). the line was so long it was out the door and around the building so i gritted my teeth trying to ignore it even though it's objectively fucking rude. "surely he'll turn it off when we get inside, right?" i thought to myself like a naive fool.

we finally got into the building where music was being played from overhead speakers and clashing with his and i absolutely could not so i politely asked him if he could turn it off since we were in a public building now and there was other music playing. he threw a fucking fit and said he would NOT turn it off but would turn it down, which he promptly DID NOT do.

after a few minutes of being wildly overstimulated i turned to the man and once again asked him very politely, to which he said "i did what you asked" with the composure of a two year old. a very nice woman said "you did not, she asked you to turn it off, we all want you to turn it off". said man proceeded to throw a little hissy fit about how i should ask the building to turn their music off if i was so worried about it. i had to look a grown man in the eye and say "i am asking you to have a little common courtesy for fellow humans stuck in this line with you, can you not do that?" another lady and an older man had to chime in before he made a big stink about it and turned it off as childishly as is humanly possible.

anyway. what I'm saying is: wherever you are obnoxious man, i hope you get infected ingrown toenails in every single one of your toes and then fall into a ditch you january 6th looking motherfucker
