but can we talk about how excited Dean is to have his brother back in the first episode???

he doesn't tell Sam it's him because he wants to spar with his baby brother. he tells Sam he doesn't wanna do this alone. he looks over at Sam while the girls in the diner are talking way before Sam looks at him, and then he looks again so that they're looking at each other.

it seems like he takes any excuse to touch Sam, even if it's just smacking him. he keeps asking if Sam wants anything to eat and offers to pay for it. he lets Sam know he's 'super' with a little ok hand because his baby brother's worried and he's gotta both reassure him and make him laugh.

he acts like a rejected date when Sam says he's gotta go home. "yeah. whatever, i'll take you home." like he's trying not to get into another argument but he still has hopes Sam'll say yes with that "we made a great team back there". and then pretends to believe Sam when he says he'll catch up later.

Dean's desperation in the pilot is just so obvious and endearing to me. i literally can't watch it and NOT think about how toxic and obsessive and controlling this man's gonna get, and think about finale Dean admitting he would drive by Stanford with John to check up on Sam, ESPECIALLY when he tells Sam "in two years i haven't bothered you once"

Found this on facebook and... i'm sorry but what the hell is this?? "What if leonardo da vinci was a shit painter and mona lisa looked completely different in real life?" Is that what we are asking? So mona lisa had lipstick and earrings and modern eyebrows but he just forgot to draw them? What if the most famous portrait in the world was bad? What??????? AI art bros are the most art illiterate people on the planet

it is crucial to bear in mind always that there are over 8 billion people on this planet right now and only an itty bitty sliver of a percentage of them will have thought processes/perspectives/experiences/reactions/worldviews/schemata that you can understand/ find relatable on any meaningful level. to believe that your experience of/responses to a certain stimulus can be applied to another person - particularly a stranger - is utter fantasy. an arrogant one, and ultimately a lonely one. they are barely even perceiving the same universe you are! their genes and receptors and neural pathways are all one of a kind and completely different from yours. you have never had the exact same experience as anyone else because you have never been anyone else. I would love to see a world in which understanding this and really, truly letting it sink in and become a core part of how we see and interact with other human beings is the norm. I think it would be unrecognizable from this world. how much might we understand each other if we were able to have every conversation without assumption, projection, or expectation?

i think satou's a huge model kit fan! gundams and all that... he probably takes trips to the store after school to buy em when he's saved up enough. he assembles em with his friends :))

BUT he never customizes them at all. no extra paint, no decals, no detailing, nothing. just follow the inctructions straight from the manual and boom. He's Done. they are so plain but he is happy

i dont think the Ditto mvs are about Being An Idol or Parasocial Relationships or anything like that, tbh. i think theyre almost 100% about nostalgia. sure, Ban Heesoo represents the fans, but i think its about finding comfort in music during your youth, and growing up.

at the end of Side B, when she's an adult, she puts on the video that shows her childhood memories, represented by the members. and the memories come rushing back to her, and they burst through the door as if it was the day that it happened. the members arent literally there though, theyre a metaphor for any number of different things. youth? a safe comforting thing that you cling to when stressed, and will eventually outgrow the need for, but you reflect back as an adult later on and realize how important it was? they could literally represent themselves, but imo only if it's taken to mean that Ban Heesoo finds comfort in their music, not that she was literally friends with them. they werent actually there, but the music helped her get through some tough, lonely, sad times.

nothing about the vibe of the videos suggests that theyre about serious social issues to me. there's a thick, heavy layer of a very deep, wistful nostalgia over the videos. maybe a lot of the people theorizing about it arent really old enough to have nostalgia like this but... it hits me like a fucking truck every time i watch the videos. it actually really shakes me. it's powerful. it makes me think about a lot of things, about the big picture of life, about youth and how i've grown up, about the simple things and the comforts we think we outgrew but we havent, and we shouldnt, because that's what life is all about.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

drives me insane how Sam is literally SA'd by a ghost in the first fucking episode of the show. like. it sets the entire tone for Sam's ongoing, relentless sexual trauma, and then when you find out how he was violated as a baby by Azazel's demon blood, and it just adds to all of the many many times Sam's autonomy is denied and how desperately Sam wants to be good but everyone says no no no boy king demon blood demon lover Lucifer's true vessel--

--and then we circle back to the SA when Sam is canonically raped by Lucifer over the course of time they were in the Cage and i just

is this coherent. i don't think this is coherent

Found my old uni sketchbooks a while back, and I was genuinely startled by how many sketches I made back then. Looking at them I realised that working digitally, I had sort of stopped sketching the same way I used to. For whatever reason I find it hard to make mind maps and thumbnails on a tablet and I think I had also convinced myself that I'd gotten so much better since uni that I didn't need them anymore. However, going through those sketches, I could see how much drawing them had helped me to push myself and make more interesting and less obvious choices.

I decided to try traditional sketchbooks in the planning phase again, and I am honestly stunned with how much of a difference it is making. I didn't realise I had been struggling at this before I started doing them again. This is a PSA to all digital artists to try using sketchbooks in the ideas stage, it genuinely really does help.

(Also this is why those incredibly carefully curated sketchbook videos that people post confuse me so much. My sketchbook looks like ass bc it is meant to be a place for ugly thumbnails and half-baked ideas. If every page in your sketchbook is a perfectly composed finished image, I don't think you're using it properly honestly. Or then you need another ugly sketchbook for the ideas and thumbnails part)

What’s up with how the dunmeshi fandom just lies about this kind of stuff all the time. It is easily confirmable information that it was a monthly series, something incredibly common in the industry.

A not weekly magazine schedule is literally common !! Especially in the seinen shoujo and josei demographics, sometimes monthly, sometimes biweekly, sometimes every two months, sometimes seasonal! Please stop lying about how Dunmeshi was some special unique creation that defies all standards of manga just to hype it up because it is so clear that every single one of these comparisons is centered around Weekly Shonen Jump (and understand that SJ has many magazines under its brand that are monthly or semimonthly). Not everything is WSJ and it needs to stop being the only point of reference in conversations like this 🤧

i like this place for tags and organization but it feels so … formal isn’t the right word for it but it’s close i think

i churn out a shitty doodle and slap it on my twitter but i feel like here the posts have to be somewhat polished or coherent or something… hmmm

TADC SPOILERS AHEAD!! //

earlier today, after seeing the news that four loona members have signed exclusive contracts with modhaus, i wondered if maybe they were gonna join tripleS. i think that would be a bad move, but it’s possible. i have some thoughts about it, let me elaborate.

first of all, i BARELY have faith that modhaus will even be able to complete the tripleS debut process. like, i already am kinda not expecting for everything to go according to plan, because what theyre trying to do is SO ambitious. how on EARTH does modhaus have the time and resources to manage four loona members too? if they're not joining tripleS (which they shouldnt), then how will modhaus afford to sign any more artists who wont be part of the 24 members? theyve gotta be stretched so thin already, right? maybe i'm underestimating how much NFT money Jaden has, idk. but i dont think that will last forever, and i can't help but be worried for the members. if Jaden is asking these girls to trust him and join his TWENTY FOUR member group, then he better be SURE it'll work. 

and so far, it's going really well! Generation was one of my favorite songs of last year and Rising is one of my favorites this year so far. i really like the members and im excited for what they'll do next! but that kinda only makes me worry more. modhaus better know what they're doing, because now i'm invested. i hope the loona members are taken care of at this company, but modhaus's primary responsibility is with the group that they're still in the middle of debuting. dfkmwqe;lfmksdmvlskmv the situation makes me so nervous

anyway, one reason that it might be possible for them to be added to tripleS as a mostly autonomous OEC+Heejin unit that doesnt really overlap with the other members that much is because like... when JJ was debuting loona, he didnt have 12 members picked out in advance. olivia hye was picked basically at the last minute. so there's NO WAY that all 24 triples members are chosen already. there's no way. so it's possible JJ might just have them be under the triples umbrella, just to get the numbers up, lol.

but even if that happens, i think they'd be pretty separate, and i think it would be a bad move overall. it would hurt triples's brand and it would hurt loona's. it'd be a lose-lose. i guess we’ll just have to see what happens.

I’m listening to the new Foo Fighters album and ohmygodohmygodohmygod I haven’t been this happy with a Foos album since 2011

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!
