Light breaks the news to Misa that he's leaving forever. Eh, Rem's cautiously happy.
Previous
Influences below.
Script/behavior references inspired by/stolen from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:
Light's stream of shut ups are from "Dinner is Swerved." I can't find a direct link to that specific clip. It's when Mac and Bloo steal Duchess's bedsheets and mattress so they can safely escape out a window, and Bloo just quickly repeats shut up to her over and over to prevent any argument. I have Light use that same strategy to keep Misa from objecting.
Misa's disbelief is inspired by Bloo's at the end of this clip from "Everyone Knows it’s Bendy": link
#a graceful breakup#drawn by me#my fanart#my fancomic#Death Note#Light Yagami#Misa Amane#L#implied lawlight#Rem#Ryuk#shinigami#crack#unoriginal script#Sorry Misa. You're not joining those dumb boys this time. Maybe next time. :(#went simple with Ryuk because I really like drawing him in a simple silly style~#struggled with Rem's hands a little#Light knows that Misa has the Eyes so L's gotta wear a bag over his head#she may ask Rem to kill L for her because of this but she may not do it because Light staying away is more likely if he's alive#probably lol I don't know#this isn't the least bit serious#future additions will probably be a bit more original. I just needed to get these ones out of my system REALLY BAD#also we’ve all agreed that Misa writing in the death note with a fuzzy tipped pen is basically canon now right?

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐓 𝟏𝟏; 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘
hi! this post has been on my mind for a very long time, and with a possible hunger games resurgence underway, i want to address the not-so savoury and digestable bits about collin's writing, including her characterizations of black individuals within the trilogy.
first of all; district 11 is described as a large district, with its population mainly being black, or at least people of color. this is shown in the movie adaptations, and the several characters we meet throughout the series.
(rue, chaff and seeder's descriptions, but thresh, too.)
(depiction of district 11's population in the movie adaptation of catching fire.)
𝐬𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦?
genuinely? the characterization of these individuals, such as chaff and thresh (both black males specifically.) the portrayal of both characters being a threat in size and combat, which is also often a microaggressive stereotype tied to black men.
(effie's reaction to the 75th's reaping & her snide comment against chaff, catching fire + thresh killing clove/sparing katniss, the hunger games.)
of course, i won't downplay thresh's kindness in his sacrifice of sparing katniss, but the display of his brutality paired with his decent & race does not look good (considering that the hunger games is written by a white woman!) and to me, will always come across as uncomfortable. even his speech makes him seem uneducated, more brawn than any brain, and that's also a heavy misconception when it comes to black men/boys/etc. i can see where suzanne tried to balance it out, but it doesn't work well in the slightest.
furthermore, we have to talk about the state of district 11 as a whole.
agriculture/farming as the role for one of the largest districts if not THE largest, seems innocent by itself. but then you have the treatment of its citizens, the way the population is worked, and the overall uneasiness of it.
(rue's experience in 11, the hunger games + katniss’ description of the district, catching fire.)
public whippings, senseless cruelty towards again, a WIDELY black populated district and their continual work on fields/in harvests all speak to remnants of slavery and pastimes taken place within the era of slavery. if suzanne collins was trying to make a point, or mock the treatment of this minority through a portrayal in her book as a white woman, she missed the mark POORLY. having the BLACK citizens, including women, children and men all working out in the fields? disgusting. beyond incomprehensible.
hoarding a minority in one district is crazy work too, because we barely hear about any other black characters minus paylor, beetee, and potentially cinna. and the fact that in katniss' eyes, 11 is treated perhaps the worst? says a lot.
𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭?
truthfully, i'm bringing awareness to my discomfort as a black teen/general black individual because this isn't just something you should brush past. you should see the treatment of these characters and condemn it. i see next to no posts about the blatant racism towards black people/poc in the hunger games and also within the fandom. this has been swept under the rug over and over and blatantly, I'm tired.
collins perpetuates the suffering of district 11 in historical and supposedly educational ways, but that doesn't make it okay for her to do so. as a white woman, collins abuses the usage of racial stereotypes with examples of district 11 men, the culture, their work, but also a wider environment than just 11, such as district 12 too (with the perpetuation of gale.)
#before you tell me “this is a stretch!” PLEASE read the post. literally read and research if anything#because this isn't something to be argued about#you should listen and hear black voices and understand where I'm coming from with this#because having thg as my special interest means a lot to me#but i will not ignore it's problematic bits for the sake of keeping peace and tranquility within a pretty ignorant fandom#the hunger games#the hunger games trilogy#thg#catching fire#mockingjay#rue barnette#rue thg#seeder thg#chaff thg#thresh thg#please don't argue with me in reblogs/tags/comments either. especially if you're non poc because i simply do not care#and please treat this post with the respect and kindness it deserves. i see my non-serious posts get from 20-50+ likes at least#so prioritize this just as much as you would any other post of mine

Okay, having finished Glass Onion, it is a masterpiece on par with Knives Out...
I will actually lose my shit if I don’t get a romcom fic of Benoit Blanc and what’s-his-name Hugh Grant.
#knives out#benoit blanc#as a more serious review of the film...#I saw a lot of people wanting marta to be involved when the film was first announced#I stand by my feeling that that girl deserves her goddamn retirement leave her alone#I believe benoit has dinner with her when he's nearby#I love that the film continued Benoit getting emotionally attached to a fundamentally sweet and kind girl in an extreme circumstance#I want at least ten of these movies#I want Benoit Blanc to become a character like James Bond where the mantle gets passed down#oh my god it was incredible#(granted half the story was 'spoiled' by my wife noticing a nice bit of acting#but that in no way diminished my enjoyment of it#because contrary to what some people think about storytelling... the twist isn't the interesting bit#it's how you get there)#and it still managed to surprise us in such DELIGHTFUL ways

alright, yeah, manja may be kind of sly... BUT have you also considered that she's a seven foot tall partially moth-like woman with luxurious, long black hair and glowing yellow eyes? like she's honestly gorgeous and i'm tired of pretending like she's not okok (LMAO i'm just joking as i know this account is still new so i haven't talked about her much 💀 but even with the, uhhh, body horror thing's manja's got going on — she is stunning)
#NO ONE EVER TELLS YOU THAT BRAVERY FEELS LIKE FEAR: musings.#ooc post.#JSJSJ okay i don't mean to be manja's hypewoman or anything but i am so serious about her being haunting but in an alluring type of way#sometimes. like IDK about you all but if a seven-foot tall woman with long black hair that also happens to wear exquisite robes granted#me the opportunity to save someone through a deal BC she's a death god even though that exception turned out to have some serious strings-#attached to it... i might have some inner conflict surrounding the type of anger i would be feeling towards her NGL. like i feel as if ana-#has felt the kind of anger that comes with someone being beautiful but them also trying to ruin your life at least once around her ahahhh#okay so this is mostly a joke post as you may be able to tell given the fact that i just wrote something flabbergasting 💀#but OFC manja isn't real so this would all be hypothetically speaking. but seriously... y'all can't tell me that there ain't a possibility-#you would melt in this god's arms if she hugged you as ana has gotten hugged by her and it was the most conflicting thing ever#because she both seems kind of tricky and genuinely nice towards the souls she collects#so all in all she is a bit complex as i touched upon before

well lots to think about there
#I think...#it's good to come right out and say that turning back the clock is not the solution#i think that's accurate#the idea that you can have women kind of emerge as serious players in the last couple generations and then just snatch it away#not only is it cruel it's patently ridiculous#that said some of the concluding bits#I don't know#I wonder#is there an appetite for that kind of irenic posture?#it seems hard for one to adopt that yes-also posture you can be interested in women's liberation and also acknowledge this other problem et#he says something about how when you look at the 'traditional' way of thinking about gender issues and the traditional direction#you can't be surprised if all you have to offer men is to tell them how horrible they are or just to sign them up as allies#they just look elsewhere#i've felt that way about it for a long time#i've spent my whole life hearing about what utter garbage men are from every corner#not in the least from women telling me all the things Men have done to them#there's just no possible coherent response i can imagine#i've been increasingly worried as my sons get older that all i really have to offer them is an admonition not to be a rapist#and perhaps more broadly to get out of the way of women#this is the feeling among all the academics i know#put your tail between your legs submit smile no matter what they say about you and they do say some hurtful things and laugh#or else#again#this non-starter solution to just become some wild misogynist provocateur#I guess the stated goal of this guy's work isn't so much to establish solutions as it is facts#I do wonder what the solution could be#i sympathize with the desire to check out#oh I also cannot imagine any kind of positivity about fatherhood that would land or ring true or anything like that#however essential they find the presence of fathers to be#but that's another discussion

Helloo, I still exist did anyone even notice I was mostly gone lol
Anyone interested in ehhh...slightly unhinged work-related talk?
No?
Well. Too bad
Anyone that knows me irl please ignore the tags – I'm embarrassed ✨🥰
#I said ignore the tags#please ignore them#I'm serious#alright soooo...i started this new job about 1 1/2 months ago... It's not great or anything neither is the payment but it's alright#also I can walk there from home bc it's so close by which is nice I guess#anywayyy it's a grocery store owned and run by a family (my boss and his wife + their 2 (3??) adult children)#now my boss is kinda hard to figure out I always think he's annoyed which makes me insecure but I think that's just how he is idk lol#but he isn't rude or anything (at least I never noticed??)#his wife seems nice and so does (one of) their daughter(s(?))#his son – who is idk probably in his early 30s?? could also be late 20s but I can't guess people's age – is the manager#he's nice as well I think and he even jokes around with (some of) the employees from time to time#either way...this is all rather irrelevant. Point is some part of me has decided to be uhhh weird about him in the past week ig#and I don't think that feeling was there before?? Idk I don't consider him attractive or anything (at least I don't think I do??) + he's#married (?? He's definitely taken) and has two children I think judging from his profile picture in our work-app at least and like I said#he could also be quite a bit older (I mean...yk)#anywayyy i am being weird about him and something within me turned into teenager mode or whatever and iiiiiiii don't know what to do lol#not that it's really a big deal I suppose it's just that he's my boss' son and my supervisor/manager/superior/?? which makes thoughts#outside of work weird (:#no i will not elaborate#alright tag rant over I'm not sure I really wanna post this this feels awkward to post publicly hah :')#will probably delete later#someone send help#((:

Pls i cant stop thinking about the 5 eccentrics finding out (well, minus wataru) Rei calling Shu like hey, did you hear that eichi got married. And shu being upset wataru didnt tell him, i mean, yes they wanted a private wedding maybe but at least let HIM kno- "no, not to wataru" "......oh tenshouin must have a deathwish then". So it's bad as it is but then they find out wataru didnt know either and ensemble square needs to up its security because theres nothing that can protect eichi from their wrath. I like the idea of passive aggressive rei because he Knows what the others have in store
I think even in that case Wataru would still be like "well...you know, it's a shame but it couldn't be helped" and he'd put such an effort into pretending he's fine but one look at him and it's obvious he's been crying
#and that's the moment Shu decides that he doesn't care about the consequences he just walks up to that dorm room#and Rei and Aira and Mika have to physically restrain him from committing actual murder.#but I think the tragic things is that Eichi would also feel horrible#he would feel so so so bad#because it's true he does love Wataru a whole lot so I think he would be just as heartbroken about tha whole thing#my main gripe I have with him isn't even that he's engaged it's just#you could've at least told him....#like. thats the Bare Minimum#maybe it's because he was scared of losing Wataru if he tells him or something because that would make it realy but just#the bar wasn't high Eichi.....the bar was on the ground.....the bar was almost six feet under#and you still managed to screw it up#I don't even think Wataru would've been angry with him he would've just been sad but I think he'd get it#a sad kind of defeated understanding acceptance of the situation#but at least he would've known#because I mean. what would this entire thing even tell him#Yeah sorry dude he got married to another girl behind your back yes he's been engaged for a year yes he didn't tell you#sorry my condolences seems you weren't important enough to him seems he wasn't as serious about this as you were#seems he saw no issue with that whatsoever seems be was planning to discard you anyways and you were just his bit on the side to pass time#seems you didn't mean enough to him to give you a choice in the matter#looks like he didn't care about how you would feel about this#oh you thought you were partners? oh you thought you would talk to each other about importnat things? sorry. afraid not.#and you're an idiot for thinking so#Eichi Tenshouin you might not be able to fix this one if you don't grow a backbone and communicate. Think wisely if it's worth the losses.#cobalt🐍#wataei#<- I feel like being a little mean

Praying for RE5R or CVR ssap so we can see 4k Wesker in combat
#it'll be another year at least until the next game but I'm hyped to see this silly man waking up and choosing intense violence in 4k#something tells me revamped wesker isn't going to be playing around#i don't think he'll be as 'gentle' with Chris as he was in previous games#older wesker just smacked him and threw him around a bit with a bit of choking on the side#new wesker feels more serious#it's hard to know though since he could act completely different when chris is in the room with him#he still might have that toying fruity side to him like in previous games

didn't realise that the summer I turned pretty season 2 was still going lmaoo. I finished episode 6 and was like well damn I guess this is it. here we go again ig
#the problem with this series is that it is too set in todays time#but the books are so so 2010 coded and it kind of ruins the whole vibe#even the little choices of adding in modern music.. idk man. like my Jeremiah has never heard of Ariana grande and I know this in my heart#its so. Netflix originalified#and I know we will look back in 10 years to cringe at this bc even now I am cringing at it#and then the casting. that's a whole separate issue#she really said Conrad was 'dark dark dark' and they made him barely a brunette (can you use brunette for men? many have been wondering)#and Jeremiah isn't even properly blond like can we commit to the bit please. be serious about this im not even playing#bc they could have dyed their hair its not even that deep#I like belly at least like I look at her and I think yeah that could be belly#and Taylor as well actually. not in season 1 but her season 2 hair I believe it can be her#the only good thing they changed is making Jeremiah bisexual#and also I think the characters aren't obsessed with each other how I thought they should be after reading the books#the stakes are simply not that high when in the books it was like life or death for belly to get Conrad to notice her#ALSO not enough flashback scenes to their childhood#I don't even care ab this like that but it's just the principle of the thing! like it could have been great and they fumbled it completely#I need to have some kind of input in these things they should hire me as a creative director 😤#also I came here to say that Jeremiah is wearing an outfit I have worn many times before but I got sidetracked

so as a treat for graduating and to cleanse myself from the stress of compulsory reading which caused me to not read anything for my own enjoyment for 3+ years and completely ruined my love of books i bought myself a trashy YA book and it feels so good i'm having so much fun
#orbitky#its a very fun light read your traditional ya romance#its definitely dramatic and cringey here and there but the love interest isn't toxic or anything (at least hasn't been yet)#so it's just 200-ish pages of pure silly fun#it's never cringey in like a *painful* way it's just fun really#and a good bit of the characters are actually very likeable#the only possibly problematic thing is flirting between an 18 yo and the protagonist's 15 yo sister#but it's very much portrayed as something that shouldn't be happening and in which the 15 yo would be a victim if it escalated#and the protagonist is very much against it#so i'm hoping nothing bad happens there#but truly it's such a cleansing experience and i needed this so bad after only reading very serious classics for years and having to analyz#them and read them in a very focused very specific unfun way#i'll get back to reading classics/more serious authors later but this is so healing

that old man will never EVER sign anywhere else. for one thing, none of the serious contenders can afford him, unless he wants the jodrou wifey discount contract. which i am pretty sure he does not.
and for another thing, he's too neurotic. you think he wants to bend an entire new city, staff, and locker room to his will? at his age??
#hockey#nhl offseason#to be serious for a second.#also having a hard time imagining if he ever DID do it‚ anywhere he'd be willing to do it for besides colorado#and like. obviously if he wanted it at the wifey discount‚ cmac would take him and who wouldn't? he's incredible#but it is just. that the things that he brings. are not the things that are the biggest holes for colorado rn.#so they'd also have to blow up the roster a little bit and i don't. want them to.#they'd have to get rid of rosco and move cmitt to 3c probably... which i don't love...#i mean! at least he can win a faceoff‚ something natemac is apparently simply allergic to 💕#but still we are missing guys with big bodies who will actually use them to hit. for example.#penalty killers who can do it like cogs used to (last spring was so rough at times......)#a solid 4c (i can't be too mad at cmac‚ but come on 🥺 why couldn't we get stenlund???)#and like. if val is out? that's irreplaceable. what we need in the top 6 if we lose val isn't 37-y.o. squidney. it's 22-y.o. ovi.#a fucking. freight train on the wing.#anyway‚ the entire thing is silly and the ONLY reason to even SLIGHTLY entertain the idea is that he wants to win so fucking bad#but he will never leave the pens for another team in one million years

i feel like you'd have to pay ME more than $10 to get me to eat that honestly
what can i get for $10?
Oh! Uh. Due to clerical error you somehow got the world's most expensive taco, a novelty item at Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort in Mexico consisting of a corn tortilla filled with Kobe beef, shrimp, beluga caviar, black truffle, brie, mortia chilis, civet coffee, and gold flakes, normally valued at $25,000. Not sure how that happened, hurry up and get out of here before Chef Licerio-Alcala catches on
#have you considered getting award-winning computer game masterpiece sayonara wild hearts instead#sure it isn't a taco#but at least it isn't THIS taco#and it's currently on sale for under $10#im doing this for the bit but im also serious
