what is your least favorite thing about anderson 😈
the fact he doesn't wear socks.
There's "I don't give a fuck" energy, and then there's "fight genetically enhanced gun weilding Dracula in loafers without socks" energy.
This man seriously rolled out of bed, did the bare fuckin minimum. And said “yep. I can defeat the horrors like this”.
Edit: THAT'S PRESUMING HE CLEARED THE BOOKS FROM HIS BED AND DIDN'T JUST STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING
#i contribute#hellsing#alexander anderson#---#I presume this is a question that's hoping to make me think hard...#make me ponder the flaws of my supposed fav...#but out of the half dozen things in my inbox that I have essays in progress for#this one is a no brainer.#Anderson's secret weapon- he proceeds to just kick his shoe from across the room#nails alucard right in the face#his soul may be tainted#but his soles are surely blessed#but the fact he doesn't wear socks...#*pained breath*#I can't take him seriously.#ever#every time I think I can learn to accept him#i find out something new#first it was him being a tree#then it was his signature pose#AND THEN THIS.

ill never be over the fact that inquisition doesnt have any sort of prologue. in origins you get your warden’s origin plus ostagar to establish your character before the main story begins. in dragon age 2 you have the fight outside of lothering and choosing to work for the mercenaries or the smugglers in kirkwall. and then inquisition just drops you in and its like if origins just started with waking up in flemeth’s hut and the only way you learn about the deaths of cailan, duncan, the wardens, and loghain’s betrayal is through other characters. i would have loved if there was even a brief bit at the beginning where you get to actually attend the conclave, establish your character outside of the world ending stakes, and have the chance to meet some of the people whose deaths you’re about to be blamed for.
#i love inquisition#but i have a lot of problems with it#and this is honestly one of my top complaints#it just seems like a no-brainer thing to include for story and character#dragon age

So glad I decided to watch the Barbie Movie while walking on my treadmill at home vs watching it while on the bike/stairs at the gym today because holy shit ya girl was SOBBING
#not dp related#barbie movie#yes yes i'm the one woman on earth who had never seen it before#but i saw it was released on Netflix and im bumming my mom's account still so it was a no brainer#ended up walking like 14k steps to this movie#it was well worth it#i had to pause my treadmill midway through tho to stuff my hoodie with a couple of tissues#when she looked at that old woman and was like 'you're so beautiful' I WAS IN TEARS#the memories of the daughter pulling away from the mom??? omg#since becoming an adult and also developing a healthy amount of human empathy i swear i've turned into such a crier when i watch movies

Idk but it really fucking angers me that people are more angry at n*** g***** and his actions because it’s resulted in good omens 3 being a single 90 minute episode instead of a full series than they were at him for sexually assaulting and coercing multiple women. Would you rather have a rapist face no repercussions and benefit from making a new full series or have him fired and get a shorter ending to a story and characters you loved?
#sorry I’m just very fired up this morning#but honestly a) be glad he is basically been fired from the series b) be glad it isn’t cancelled completely#it’s honestly no brainer#it’s a complicated situation and some part of me was hoping it gets cancelled completely (even though I would have been sad about it)#but as I can see it this is one of the better outcomes we could’ve expected#also ppl saying terry or David or Michael or anyone else involved doesn’t deserve this. true#but do you know who REALLY didn’t deserve it? those women#also you can’t separate the art from the artist if you keep supporting their future ventures#it’s completely okay to be mad at him for ruining good omens btw. just that this news is a good thing and we should be focusing on that#good omens

LCPL WRAPPED 2024
Ok DON'T PANIC, this post is still true - it just broke containment a bit so we don't know how many people saw the original tags and might therefore be a little concerned to see THIS post.
We don't know what you, personally, checked out.
We have to track total circulation stats to make sure we're doing our job correctly and keeping a healthy collection (and to defend our budget), but these stats are anonymous!
Is one person responsible for every single One Piece check out? Is James Patterson artificially inflating his numbers by visiting our library constantly? Who knows! The only thing we know is that kids(?) really, really like Jeff Kinney books.
And so without further ado, here are the most checked-out items of 2024:

I wanna know if you have any thoughts on Valka and Sroicks parenting and how that affects hiccup? Because I'm loving so much of your content rn, especially your drawings!! But when I see stuff like Tgirl Hiccup while I think they would be supportive, I don't think they would be ... the best because their not really the best. Like ofc they tried even Val when she came back, but it doesn't and won't ever make up for everything else it's so complicated, and nuisanced would love to hear your thoughts!!
Im going to break this post into addressing stoick and valka separately because valka is such a non-entity in hiccup and stoick’s familial life. valka’s section will be underneath the ‘read more’
But I definitely agree! Unfortunately for Hiccup (and also not to project ijbol), it’s so hard because stoick’s best isn’t enough. Oh, stoick tries! He tries so hard — between the movies and the shows, he so clearly cares for his son. But he can never be just Hiccup’s dad; Stoick is the Chief of Berk before he’s Hiccup’s father, and both he and Hiccup know that. Hiccup grows up self sufficient and is used to a lonely home. The kind of free reign that he gets (and the resulting knee-jerk reaction he has to any kind of responsibility after 15 years of said free reign) doesn’t make for great conditions to cultivate a healthy, loving, traditional parental relationship
Still — i think stoick is more supportive than we give him credit for, at least going off the RoB/DoB characterizations. (Again, I haven’t finished watching RTTE, so Im not gonna speak for anything there.) When Hiccup makes moves for more freedom and responsibility, even as early as s01e01 “How to Start a Dragon Academy”, Stoick works with Hiccup to grant him that freedom. He makes attempts to connect to his son, albeit misguided and inevitably circling back to his own interests/role as the chief of Berk and not just Hiccup’s dad. For example, s01e07 “How to Pick your Dragon” shows Stoick ending up listening to Hiccup about getting a dragon, even though he mostly gets a dragon because it further suits his interests as a chief, which he realizes on the flight Toothless and Hiccup take him on. Which also leads to the core conflict of the episode! Because Stoick’s attempts to understand Hiccup are ultimately rooted in his own narrow perception of the world, that there is a Right way and Wrong way to do things, and Hiccup’s way is most definitely not the right way.
But Stoick listens. Over time, he picks up the signs when his child is frustrated and genuinely asks how he can help (s02e15 “A Tale of Two Dragons” 3 options talk). And after the events of the first movie, Stoick makes more attempts to involve Hiccup in his going-ons, such as the portrait of the chief’s family or contacting Johann to find a beloved childhood plushie. So i think stoick tries, and his best isn’t enough, so thank god hiccup isn’t dependent on only stoick and the both of them know this. And just because the both of them know this doesn’t mean that stoick doesn’t try to improve their relationship at all. In the end, he’s just really set in his own ways and his own traditions.
So in a world where Hiccup is trans, I do think Stoick is supportive no matter what direction Hiccup ends up going. Is he confused? Yes, always, because there isn’t a very established tradition even if Berk does have a history of trans folk. I think stoick has to try really really hard, and he messes up a lot in the beginning. Like, you know when your parents are trans affirming in a really weird and even insulting way? That happens a lot for Hiccup and Stoick. But they work together and Stoick works to try and get on Hiccup’s level, whether that means sending terror-mail to Johann to inquire about trans literature or gender-affirming clothes or dialing Gothi to move Hiccup’s t/e prescription to the front of the line.
……..argh, Valka.
Of course Valka tried when she came back, but the conscious decision to stay away for twenty years and miss some of the most important milestones in your child’s life says a lot, and I think Hiccup also knows that. Especially because of how similar they are, even though Valka would immediately accept and adore and absolutely love Hiccup and all his Hiccup-ness right off the bat… I think he’s aware of how different and better his life could’ve been with Valka’s understanding presence. In the end, one parent stayed and tried their best. And one didn’t really try at all, not until they reconnected again.
And like! I dont think Valka and Hiccup would ever be as close as Stoick and Hiccup were. Like it is one thing to idolize your parent in absentia and build up this idealistic wholesome perfect image of who they are, getting your characterization from their partner who never got over them even after 20 years. And it is another thing to meet that parent and realize… wow! They also don’t measure up to what I needed them to be as a child.
And so for all of Valka’s understanding, for all of the easiness it is for Valka to understand Hiccup, especially in a world where Hiccup is trans — it’s not Valka who had to deal with the bureaucracy of Hiccup’s gender change, nor aided in the social transition for people Hiccup has spent his entire life with. It’s not Valka who asked uncertain, blunt and somewhat invasive questions about Hiccup’s new identity, or found weird and strange ways to support it. It’s not Valka who would’ve gotten an entirely new wardrobe commissioned or talked to Gothi about medical transition.
Like, I think Valka tries, and it’s easy for her to understand the idea and support Hiccup. But i dont think she’d ever be Hiccup’s first choice when it comes to questions about who s/he is, not when there are people who stayed and tried much harder than her, and know far more about Hiccup than she ever did and maybe will.
#asks#anonymous#httyd#how to train your dragon#thank you for the ask! i hope you dont mind the veryyyyy lengthy response lol#oddly enough i just kept on thinking about how autistic the entire haddock family is#hiccup and valka? total no-brainer#stoick is one of those people where years later hiccup will text the dragon rider gc going#by thor’s hammer my father is neurodivergent but he would die laughing at the idea of getting diagnosed#cue snotlout emphasizing the text#also valka is a fun character but there is relatively little content i can dredge up about her#than i can stoick#so apologies for the disparity in thought and analysis… argh#trans hiccup#i talk little about berk being fantasy transphobic btw because of a couple of reasons#I personally am really tired of involving fantasy transphobia when i already deal with it enough irl#and in a society where your warrior strength defines whether you live or die#i doubt they’re that concerned about what’s in your pants at all#hiccup being an outcast reads more to me about an otherness constructed based on the social concept of disability#even though i thoroughly enjoy queer readings of the series as well#em.txt

when we first see Voss he's using a 'modern' silver sword. the one we know of. the super detailed w rubies etc. but then ofc he shows up in camp and presents his personal ancient silver sword that's more subdued.
and then when he shows up again at the brain to see Orpheus, he's wearing his own personal silver sword. guess once he's revealed the truth, he feels he can really be all himself, sword and all ;_; idk idk just thinking
(when he's in the sewers he has the fancy one we originally see him in. im guessing its because hes going to present it to lae'zel/tav etc and isnt about hauling 2 silver swords around)
also makes me think like. voss having more than one silver sword? i guess he's the boss of many bosses and if he wants 2 silver swords he CAN. but maybe he kept his personal silver sword from the very beginnings private as much as possible idk....
#i thought about this a lot when making his sword for the cosplay#which one to go for#but it was always a no brainer really for me#voss' silver sword#hands down#des talks#kith'rak voss#githyanki#bg3

Been thinking about this but where did the idea of Marie wearing a face mask if she was hypnotized come from? Was it in any of the concept art for Splatoon 2 or something?
#rev's ramblings#Or was it one of those things where it was universally agreed upon?#I honestly can't remember#it's been so long since I've seen any of the concepts from Splatoon 2#Unless it was one of those no brainer things since Callie wears shades as Agent 1 and Marie wears a face mask as Agent 2#I NEED TO KNOW#splatoon#splatoon 2
