jonesmith analysis ep 1-15 (part 1)
this is going to be long and silly✌️
nothing gay in episode 1 so im starting with monkee see monkee die
FIRST in the scene where they disguise themselves to hide from the lawyer Mike dresses as an old man and Davy dresses as an old woman = old married couple. hmm lovely sweet old married couple.
NEXT. Davy constantly hiding behind the guys and holding onto them because he is scared. in my humble opinion it is simply cutest when he's grabbing onto Mike. This scene where he's like nooo dont leave me behind Mike and rushes after him. 10/10 adorable.
constant grip on him, WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS
holding onto Mike while going to bed, and Mike's reassuring hand pat to let Davy know everything is okay. Davy was going to hold onto him all night snuggled up on his shoulder.
this is the ep that made me 👀 towards them so if people dont see it even a teeny tiny bit that baffles me.
ep 3 has this lovely little boob touch moment:
I would too Mike. cross dressing Davy is too beautiful to resist
ep 4 they are extremely determined to rip each others clothes off. even when Micky and Peter give up and rip their own clothes off Mike and Davy have a GRIP on each other.
ep 5 cute little tug on Mike's arm, Mike looking around bc Davy is so tiny his eyes glide right over the top of his head.
"Mike! Mike! Are you okay?" *drops him*
EPISODE 6... I love the way Mike stands up to Davy's grandpa in this one and tells him he only wants him back because he's lonely and misses him. idk its so cute, all the guys are looking out for Davy but Mike is the one that confronts his grandpa about it. And then the scene on the deck where they're all crying because Davy is leaving Mike is like nah we're not letting him go so easily.
I am also deeply obsessed with the grip Mike and Micky have on Davy when they pull him over to their side. that little english lad is theirs. also Mike is definitely feeling up his muscles.
also this, which isnt in showverse but i want to include it bc its so cute. Mike just sits there awkwardly... yea
ep 7 😏 rests elbow on shoulder and limps wrist.
Mike pulling a Fred & Daphne with his "lets split up Davy and I will go this way" did you want to spend alone time with him Mike? perhaps you wanted a bit of privacy hmm?
their cowboy gunslinger roleplay scene.
ep 8 sleeping with his head resting in Davy's lap what is cuter than that.
Micky doing one of his silly voice bits and Mike being like hey he's nervous. Then whatever this was where Mike grabbed his face
ep 9 they go through a whole scheme to get this girl that Davy likes to come to their party and then he spends half the party standing by the punch bowl giggling with Mike. Also whatever they're doing here during the song segment. cutesy
ep 10 (the pilot) some serious longing looks from Mike here + lifting Davy up (in his gay little mime outfit no less)
ep 11 theres literally a shootout happening and they are under the table competitively playing tic-tac-toe
ep 12 the framing of this scene... the way Davy shuts the door after he enters. KISS HIM GIRL
ep 13 this scene where hes leaning in for a kiss. yes thats whats happening trust me.
ep 15 too many girls... FIRST of all I think Mike making Davy swear off dating girls is an extremely homosexual act "im gonna hold you to that" okayyy. SECONDLY Micky and Peter both say they're jealous of Davy always getting girls but Mike doesnt... bc hes more jealous of the girls hmm 🤔🏳️🌈 also "trapped by his staggering good looks" so you think hes attractive. checkmate.
points at you aggressively
#do you see the vision#this is an open discussion btw!!!#any of the pics i pulled from sunshine factory i sourced in the image description!#will be continued soon ✌️❤️#jonesmith#davy jones#mike nesmith#64monkees#64post#js analysis

what i feel like is lacking from conversations about plurality is how genuinely, fundamentally cool it is to be plural. doesnt it fascinate you how our brains can create entirely new selves, inner worlds, inner structures to keep itself afloat? doesnt it make you so curious? especially with regards to atypical plural experiences. i dont hate people for having entire systems full of fragments or fictives or subsystems. in fact, i find it wonderful, a miracle of the mind. you have a complicated inner world with unique lore? incredible, how did that develop? your entire system is full of fictives from the same source? thats amazing, hows that going? your system has entire layers on itself, with several systems running in tandem? wow, thats fascinating, how did you know? you believe you came from different worlds? tell me about them. please, tell me more about yourselves. id love to hear it. i do not fear the potential of the human brain.
#💙 cass#💿 red#<- typing#pluralgang#endo safe#endogenic#traumagenic#median system#multiple system#plural discussion#being a complicated plural doesnt scare me i find it beautiful#oh and btw before you say something stupid: yes this extends to people with hallucinations and delusions as well.#we extend this to all mental experiences. the mind is fascinating#approaching mental experiences with intrigue instead of disgust would open so many avenues for us as a species#but noooo yall are too busy upholding capitalist ideals. barf

I got. thoughts. about valens and voices in imperial roman history. but I also got a lot of thoughts about uhhhhhh choosing your brother for co ruling the Fratricide Foundation Story Empire. many thoughts about themistius' oration too

#it's also the Incest-Cannibalism Empire but that's a discussion for a different blog#all of the heavy hitters were Incest Empires btw. that's a feature of Empire across all of time. not always Cannibalism tho. TRAGIC.#but rome specifically being the Fratricide&Stuprum Empire is funny AND makes parts of this speech feel. uh. UHHHHH.#feels like you're trying to overwrite history and while you succeeded ONCE the uncle-nephew antagonism with a body count#somehow feels worse????? feels worse. i dont like anything that happened to valentinian 2#anyway. as a result: i personally will be including the bigamy accusations against valentinian into my belief system#stuprum babyyyyy! a requirement for every emperor! valens is lacking here so valentinian has to pick up the slack#valens will be giving me an opening to fire shots at figures in christianity i dislike which is honestly better than scandalous sex#later roman empire tag#komiks tag#brother emperors tag#IF. you missed my brother emperors posting. the head in hands thing here is meant to be a little bit offputting on account of#valentinian being valens' imperial maker. that's a life in your hands. overtures of fratricide. etc. you get the point#whatever other subtext you want to apply to it from the subtext spice cabinet. im not picky. this was a quick comic i did#to shake off the depression cobwebs lmao. eventually i'll style guide this era and do comics with more intentional thought later

actually i really don't fucking get the whole ''anders was better in awakening" circlejerk. "sealene you have posted about this several times already isn't it enough" NO IT IS NOT
anders in awakening is a cliche funnyman guy whose motivations aren't particularly interesting or compelling. oh he likes cats and doesn't like templars and wants a pretty girl. truly revolutionized writing. it doesn't help, of course, that awakening is only like 15 hours long if you do all the side content, and really none of the companions are that fleshed out.
idk man i don't have any screenshots or long professional essays about character analysis i'm not that kind of blogger. i'm just some guy who finds the da2 version of anders much, much more interesting and compelling as a character. "oh they ruined him in da2" it's called fucking character development?????????????
anders in dragon age II is far from being a flawless person. some might even say he is a bad person, and while i don't really agree to that, i do see where those people are coming from. but he is an interesting character, one that provokes heated discussion even 13 years after the game's release. how often is there any meaningful discussion regarding awakening anders that isn't just "hur dur he was better back then"?
i don't even dislike awakening anders he's a fun little guy wish he wasn't voiced by fucking greg ellis tho but come on man would this man really be an interesting companion in something longer than a 15 hours long dlc with very little companion interactions
edit: i have a feeling this post might breach containment so in case it does -- i wrote this while being kinda sleep deprived and without thinking too deep, i was just pissed at dragon age reddit being stuck in 2016. i could have articulated my point better and with less generalization towards daa anders but i won't bother rewriting the post now because most people likely won't see the new version anyway
#if you want to argue with me i suggest not bothering and scrolling/blocking#i am open for normal discussion just don't start with the terrorism support accusations or whatever you people like to do#dragon age#anders#da spoilers#<- for mads#walks out of reddit covered in blood. these people are stuck in like 2016 discourse#he should blow up more buildings btw. he can blow up my house for all i care#i would make a salty comparison to other characters in this franchise. but i shan't#i am being incredibly normal about dragon age. as usual. nothing to see here

Fuck it, I'm going to go out and say it: while I often enjoy being teased on here, a fair portion of what I receive irritates me as it's misguided at best and reeks deeply of unlearned, malicious fatphobia at its worst. Yes I want to be fatter but I'm not fat. I am a 140-lbs/63.5-kg twink despite all my efforts to gain weight. I'm not stick thin, sure, but I'm sure as hell not fat either. So why are some people insistent on calling me fat/huge/big? Are actual fat people too much for you (perhaps even in spite of you being a self-professed FA)? Is your idea of fatness grounded in equating 'not even that chubby' with 'fat' while not even being attracted to people who are actually fat? Do you solely find bloated skinny guys hot while still saying you like fat people? Or are you not attracted to fat people at all and here simply to take your fatphobia out on the people closest to your image of ideal thinness, who you'd be more openly attracted to if they lost 10-20 pounds, all while still scoffing at or ignoring the fat people at the heart of these communities?
Some of y'all really need to do better. Either own up to your love of people who are actually fat (which may entail adjusting your understanding of what fatness is), clean up your nomenclature, or don't be here. Yes unlearning biases like fatphobia takes time and effort, but your choices really are more or less that simple.
#i've seen a number of posts lately from actual fat feedees/gainers discussing how even in these circles they feel marginalized#and yeah they most certainly are#i may not be in that weight cohort myself but my own experiences further go to show that it is a real and noticeable problem#to the fat people here you are not alone and i'm sorry some people still insist on being shitty like this#your body is lovely and deserving of far better attention than the dickish/creepy shit they have to give anyway#i am open to more discussion on this if people want it btw#body politics

Would Transitioning Save Her: A Sliding Scale of the Impact of MTF Transition on Riverdale Character
(Ranked from Best impact to Worst Impact)
1. Archie - should've been a dyke from the get go. I could write a billion essays about this
2. Reggie - being freed from toxic masculinity would fix her
3. Moose - considering how deeply repressed she is I think seeing the tv glow would save her.
4. FP - transitioning could save her marriage. this would not improve her alcoholism. BUT ! it might help her stop bottling so many of her issues up
5. Munroe - transitioning just fits into her plot of self acceptance to me. wlw prison archie + munroe would fuck crazy
6. Sweet Pea - this is solely based on vibes
7. Original/50s Dilton - big cock t girl representation for the win!
8. Hiram - this would make veronica leagues worse. could you imagine if her daddy issues became mommy issues
9. Clay - relatively unaffected by transition. I think she's already pretty open and honest about who she is, and it wouldn't take much for her to admit this about herself
10. Fangs - no impact. already a lesbian in my eyes
11. Jughead - canonically transgender but also it would absolutely make her worse and more insufferable. this could save s1 jughead (and briefly s5 jughead) but s2 jughead on is the queen of repression and it would take a lot of force to get her to come out. if she's repressing something after all
12. Chic - win for weird girls everywhere. would drastically improve her relationship with betty
13. Bret - stonewall prep plotline but it's toxic lesbians bret and jughead. she would try to fuck donna but donna would NEVER stoop so low
14. Kevin - considering how much of her sense of self is reliant on her identity, transitioning could either really help her or force her further into a world of identity politics. she'd be the world's worst kind of white feminist for sure though
15. Charles
16. Dilton - also vibes
17. Hal - sorry betty
18. Fred - not saving her marriage but would allow her to connect better with archie and I believe she'd be a better parent to her
19. Uncle Frank - could free her but would probably do irreparable damage instead
20. Sheriff Keller - this is a cisgender man
21. Jason - I don't even want to imagine what his relationship with cheryl would have looked like if he was a woman. huge win for incest freaks I guess
22. Julian - five steps back for lgbt rights

Heya, Im just confused so im gonna ask in hope u can clear this up for me, do you actually hate hate Jax or is it more of a hate-hate Jax in an affectionate way? I see you draw him being tortured a lot(which I love actually, he deserves it and its funny) but because ive seen many others artists saying they hate him and then actually loving him too(love-hate kind of situation lol) I was wondering if that would be your case or you just really hate him
Anyway, in any case, as an Jax stan, please torture him more /lh
I have mixed feelings about him tbh haha, it’s a “I love to hate him” type of deal, he isn’t a completely horrible person that I genuinely despise, but whenever he was on screen I was mostly like “WHAT AN ASSHOLE”
I appreciate his character greatly from a writing perspective cause it’s fun to have a character that is actually just that, an asshole, there’s no “he’s sarcastic”, “he doesn’t mean it”, this mf literally does not have a shred of empathy it seems and imo acts like a 14 year old edge lord who just read death note for the first time (“ouuu violence 😈🤓☝️”). He gives off the vibe of being the guy who says “look at this funny video I found” and it’s a live leak video, which makes me feel absolutely no guilt at all when I draw him trip down a flight of stairs
I do think some people romanticize his actions to a delusional degree which doesn’t personally bother me, you do you, but I just hope they keep his character in Tadc the way he is now and don’t change him up to seem sympathetic for audiences sake
#thank you for asking btw I love having open discussions about characters!#tadc#the amazing digital circus#tadc jax#the amazing digital circus Jax

the reveal that Laios learned to see ghosts and why he kept quiet for so long...
oh, you mean like. what you saw happening to Falin throughout her whole childhood? Even though you stuck to her side and encouraged her into not hating her own powers? Even though you accepted her relationship with ghosts as benign and trusts her to give you their message?
(and no, there's NO dunking on Laios here... he saw this happening in his village and he hated it. but still,) well well if it isn't something he sees as worthy in his sister yet in him is just another one for the list of "offputting things people see in Laios"
#dungeon meshi#not even getting into his relationship with chil and how he just goes 'yes sir' whenever chilchuck scolds him+the consequence is this dksgd#laios and his mediating coworker (the other dad)#this also goes to show he's used to discomfort. all this time he was thinking he was /going crazy/#reminds me of how everyone was groaning at marcille's healing while he lost A FUCKING LEG and just quietly scratched it until falin healed#btw this is open for discussion. I haven't seen yet comments on this scene#dm thoughts

carol's relationship with star sapphire is so thematically enriching in context of the discordance between power and agency in green lantern comics. the power that she (and hal!) possesses is a) contingent upon her ability to fulfill a given role within the hierarchical establishment and b) thrust upon her without her consent!!!! her position at ferris air is a condition of her father's approval, while star sapphire exists as a violation of her personal autonomy—which is why it's so fascinating to unpack her motives when she does choose to pursue its power. carol's worst offenses are consistently a reaction to the destabilization of her environment: predator manifested in response to carl's belittlement and jason bloch's attack; star sapphire only targeted green lantern after the zamarons abandoned her. it's the revelation of her true lack of agency that drives her to lash out. power is illusory as long as someone else controls it—this was carol ferris' mantra long before it ever became parallax's
#carol ferris#*#*thoughts#^^^open for discussion btw <33#like it's IN THE TEXT!!!! idk why it's not explored more often (i do actually. it's misogyny)#this isn't a fully fledged analysis i just had to get the thoughts out#hit a lot of points but i hope the general concept still comes through. basically carol sinestro and hal are three sides of the same coin#+ honorary member katma tui#🌃.txt

I find it very interesting that there is, at best, minimal textual evidence that says or suggests Dean was sexually assaulted in Hell, but Sam being sexually assaulted in Hell is so blatant and explicit they constantly have Lucifer making "jokes" about it.

Just FYI.
If you send a mean spirited ask implying things about me in bad faith I won't acknowledge you. Instant block. Please do something better with your time and reflect on why you're perceiving others so negatively.
#I'm used to people projecting negatively onto me in irl I won't stand for it here too#btw I am passionate about issues surrounding trauma and abuse because I see the results of it. I see how it affects people#and we SHOULD discuss it and be more open about it#because opening up is how survivors heal.

elden ring dlc spoilers
here's my 2 cents about the dlc and the reactions i'm seeing
i have no intention of writing a post analyzing in-depth the lore of the dlc since i've yet to go through every dialogue and item description as i did for base game – anything i were to write now would be incomplete at best – so this is not it. i just wanted to address the overall dissatisfaction i'm seeing from a lot of people. like, as someone who spent weeks after playing the base game reading every single line of text in the game, analyzing each environment, enemy placement and design, seeing the reaction people are having to the dlc lore is quite funny. i get being disappointed a character isn't what you thought they'd be but going so far as to scream "bad writing!" is a bit excessive. i even saw people claiming miyazaki changed the writing to pander to the fans and, seriously? fromsoftware never came close to doing that and there's absolutely no reason for them to start now. but anyways, as i mentioned before i'm a huge lore nerd, the kind with a huge mind map containing nearly all relevant item descriptions, there's nothing in the base game i haven't read, so i think it's safe to say i have a somewhat good understanding of what new lore piece in the dlc contradicts what lore piece in the base game. i'm in no way an authority on the matter – there isn't one – nor am i pointing fingers saying "i'm right, you're wrong" – i just don't understand. i've been through countless different theories before i settled on the ones i entered the dlc with and obviously i wasn't right about everything – especially because a lot of it is speculation not to mention there's not really a right or wrong, only different interpretations of the same materials – but nothing new i encountered contradicted the base game lore i had put together. if anything, it strengthened even more some of my theories. so many people are upset about miquella being the main antagonist or that he's evil (which i completely disagree with, especially some posts portraying miquella as some kind of cartoon villain which is more speculation than anything with actual support from in-game lore), but everything was leading up to it if not in the base game in the dlc (the moment i found miquella's discarded love i figured who the final boss might be, when i found st. trina i was sure). "but the radahn fight comes out of nowhere" maybe there's no direct mentions of it in the base game but it is hinted quite well albeit very subtlety what miquella wanted to do with him in one of the dlc quests – not to mention radahn makes the most obvious sense when you think of miquella/radahn as a parallel to marika/godfrey. and miquella using mohg is not even worth mentioning – i hope my fellow mohg enthusiasts are feeling vindicated, as am i. in short, nothing seemed out of place for me at all. so i was really taken aback when i went into the tags and saw the overall mood. everyone can have different opinions regarding their enjoyment of the dlc nor are there right and wrong theories in a fromsoftware game where the lore is so vague but it's quite upsetting seeing people talk about how "the dlc ruined miquella's character" or "the dlc lore has no connection to the base game" when that's simply not true. if anything, the dlc only added more depth to miquella and even if i was heartbroken at the death of my favorite elden ring character, it made sense thematically. if anything i'm more upset about the fight itself but that's a gameplay problem which is not the focus of the post.
#i’m always open to discussions btw#i love talking about the lore of this game and it’s almost always fun to see other people’s different interpretations and theories#however i won’t stand by people calling the writing of the dlc bad bc it doesn’t fit the views they had of the lore#there are many things that can and should be criticized in this dlc but the overall lore is not it#elden ring spoilers#elden ring#shadow of the erdtree#shadow of the erdtree spoilers#sote spoilers#luca.txt

I've seen some interpretations of Our wives under the Sea by Julia Armfield going around that I want to talk about, because I love this book to death.
Some people are arguing that say Leah (spoiler) disintegrated because Mirri didn't love her/who she had become enough. And I don't know, I'm all for different interpretations of the books I love, but I'm really not feeling that one.
Miri's a complicated, flawed character, but I don't think her complicated feeling on who her wife was turning into were somehow unjust or the cause of Leah's condition. To me, the book works much better if it's about two women who loved eachother, deeply, but who fall apart because there are things in the world that will destroy you despite that love. Disease, war, mental health struggles- whatever, the metaphor doesn't need to be a one-for-one copy. But there are incomprehensible forces that can tear someone apart no matter how much you love them, and to me that's what the book is about. How to love someone when love isn't enough to save them.
