#this is my view of it anyway

I keep thinking abt Zoruru and Taruru's potential as a comedic duo. Yall don't understand how funny but also potentially emotionally investing I think they are. Like on one hand we got this kid fresh out of training with hopes and dreams to achieve, already at a good point in his career because hey, he got accepted into one of the most elite platoons their army has to offer! What more could a guy like him possibly ask for? And on the other we have an old man who at this point is completely disillusioned with the Keron Army, never wanted to find anything worthwhile there to begin with -- he only joined to go after his true objective. He's not moved by ambition, but rather revenge.
Their personalities are the polar opposite of each other which you'd think would cause them to clash. There's teasing, playful banter (from Taruru) and half hearted threats (from Zoruru), but in spite of that they get along surprisingly well. That's because they have one thing in common: neither wants to be put aside. They both want to make something of themselves. They want to be recognised; Zoruru, by those who wronged him, and Taruru, by... everyone. He might be not exactly sure, but he wants people to recognise his worth. In that process, they both train hard to work towards that goal. Maybe together, maybe separately, but the idea is that they both end up doing exactly that: they acknowledge the other's abilities. And later, each other. As people.
They both get exactly what they need out of this unlikely bond. Taruru finds someone who recognises him as being apart from the crowd ("not a background character", as he put it in the GRR platoon arc), and Zoruru finds what he's always looked for, even though he might have forgotten it along the way: a genuine friend. Taruru gets the older keronian to loosen up, if minimally, while Zoruru reminds the younger one to not place his trust in a single life path.
They're not just great comrades, they're genuinely good for each other.
#sgt frog#keroro gunso#zoruru#taruru#garuru platoon#zoruru sgt frog#taruru sgt frog#{i think bitter old man + nice kid he adopted is a very real and powerful dynamic#this is my view of it anyway#this dynamic idea has been in my mind for literal years i would LOVE to expand on it given the chance#i think tororo can also be thrown here for EXTRA ENJOYMENT#i love the trio but these two specifically got me thinking tonight#i can see zoruru projecting his younger self on taruru a bit because he too wasn't a prodigy... he gets how taruru feels#and likewise taruru understands why zoruru is the way he is. its kinda like... a mutual understanding of each othed that no other member of#the platoon can really understand. cus garuru and tororo are both prodigies and pururu is also an expert of her field#mhhhhhhhhh yes carols put all your brainworms on these two characters that will never actually happen}

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
#like it started with me just holding things more towards my right#but the things started shifting more towards center and my head turns instead#like. when im driving especially i have to keep my head turned so i can see on coming traffic#and when im around people ive noticed i position myself so my body is facing them and then turn my head to get them actually#centered in my now very right biased field of view#so anyways draw blorbo bleebus cheated to that 3/4s angle without guilt#at least one one eyed fucker actually does that

This is what the dynamic was like
#my art#sketchy sketch#arcane#silco#vander#silco arcane#vander arcane#zaundads#vanco#sadihasdias I can't stop#i am not that into turning this duo into a trio#and downplaying some of the themes and dynamics established earlier on#the political and freedomfighter stuff. Now it's a promise to a keep etc not a fight between two different views on how to handle#a difficult thing as breaking away from oppression and becoming independent and free#and not in individual level but as a whole community/city#and neither of them did it 100% right but both did some things right#anyway haha lol gay

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
#for adblocking--ublock origin is my favorite but adblocker plus is also popular#also i once again highly recommend using firefox especially on mobile#to enable adblock on firefox mobile just click 3 dot menu > addons > addon manager > enable uBlockOrigin#that's for android i assume it's similar for iOS#update it is NOT similar for iOS bc Apple hates you. i'll write another post later#anyway. PLEASE USE AN ADBLOCK ALL THE TIME (except for specific websites you want to support)#your internet browsing experience will be so enormously improved#also on firefox if you want to get past a paywall click the 'Toggle reader view' button as soon as the page loads#(it's on the right of the taskbar. a little rectangle with horizontal lines)#works for most news sites by showing you the webpage text that is hidden under the 'you've run out of free articles' popup#doesn't work for everything but it's worth a shot

One wedding and three funerals
Background paintings under the cut
#tomgreg#succession#tom wambsgans#greg hirsch#shiv roy#roman roy#kendall roy#yeah no im not tagging everyone thats too much#this is me going 'how much implications themes and symbolism can i fit in one painting'#yes i gave rose shivs haircolor. if we ever find out how she looks like and its not like this im just gonna pass away i guess#but yeah i hope yall connect the dots#i put waaay too much thought and work into this. i was googling pictures of all the actors as kids just for reference (sigh)#honestly kinda wanted to make tom and greg link pinkies as like. a pinkie promise. but that was too hard to draw in this angle#at least not without obstructing the view of the ring which is important to see so ya#my fave is actually the tomshiv wedding pic i went off with that. i love them... they should have run away to become sheep farmers fr fr#anyway im so glad im done with this UGH!! finally i can draw smth else without being like oh noooo i need to finish this#i see a lot of you wondering why there is no portrait of logan but one of ewan#it's bc the placement of the painting represent their standing. logans portray would not hang next to the stairs#his present portrait hangs at the end of it. all the way up at the top. alone and withering away#basically the picture you see underneath ewan to the right? its where toms parents would be. the right side of the wall is tom and gregs#and the left one is the roy siblings theirs. since they grew up rich rich. and tom and greg didn't#but ya thats why ewan hangs here and logan does not :)

personally love the interaction in the start of s4 where steve goes “ugh, you know i don’t do double vhs.” when robin suggests doctor zhivago. like ugh robin!!!! we’ve talked about this before!!! steve has a limited attention span and if robin puts on something too long, he will start shooting her with rubber bands
#or seeing how many paper clips he can stack into one tower#the answer is about 7#also love the idea that if u put on a movey he loves#like a sports film or something#he’ll be in the aisle — supposed to be shelving — but just staring at the viewing screen like :O#he’s a guy who stands with his mouth open if he’s distracted trust me#and that’s when ROBIN tries to hit him with a rubber band - aiming for his mouth#the great incident of ‘86 is when she manages to get it in and steve chokes on a rubber band for 15 seconds#anyways how often do u think they fight over movie picks ?#stobin#platonic stobin#steve & robin#stobin headcanons#they’re my fave besties :D#ok nanite

You have got to all stop calling Jews zionists just because they are Jews.
#and yes that is what you are doing#when someone expresses that they are neither a zionist or antizionist#*because their views do not neatly align with either*#and still oppose killing palestinians#and you STILL call them zionists#youre just being anti semitic#ive noticed this especially being weaponised against anarchist jews which is just wild#anyway i am losing my fucking patience#word of god

mini comic about a kinda freaky terrible queen and the nonsensical takes she has about the times people have tried to kill her
(more thoughts in notes)
UP NEXT! ANOTHER short comic, (and then one more) this time taking place one month before the kings death, in which we will have: one annoying prince! one lousy fight scene! rejoice's dismissive nature! and row reveals a secret.... tune in next time for all that
#comic#webcomic#original comic#original character#ocs#alr bro it's not that funny#this is based on a true story that has happened to me#and continues to happen#this is NOT the main comic plot#just doing mini comics before working on the actual thing#to hopefully work towards a more final cohesive style#cus this is kind of all over the place but we live and we learn#anyways:#she just views things differently#nobody believes what u believe#interpt it as u want#shes just learning all the wrong lessons#the notes she's humming are to ding dong bell#which is a nursery ryhmes that teaches u to be kind to animals :)#unfortunately my genius wont show until the main comic is done#queen rejoice

ngl it's pretty funny how, in certain yunmeng shuangjie fics, you can kind of tell who between wei wuxian and jiang cheng the author blames for shit going south. nothing is stated directly but the vibes are There. you can tell.
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#yanyan speaks#anyways my opinion is that they both done goofed for entirely understandable reasons so you cant unilaterally blame one party#^ a view that is shared by the part of the fandom i actually care about

hold. I'm curious about this now
*chosen/proper name, not necessarily a dead/legal name
edit if you have more than one name and aren't attached to any of them pick the fourth option thank you love and light second edit if your view of your name is neutral or you feel like you'd respond to anything. fourth option too
#[.txt]#poll#I'm on an end of the spectrum because idc about the name I'm called except prefering it not to be aligned with my agab#but I have recently been told that to some people it's a really important thing so I'm curious as to how that rates to tumblr dot com#anyway#take in count that I also don't have a solid sense of identity so my view of names and of the self is: skewed 👍
