this is a literary opinion i see often and i kind of strongly disagree with.

like idk theoretically I get it. and my opinion of the book when looking at it from my perspective IS that the issue is he doesn’t follow through etc.

but i also do not think that you can realistically read the book and think that it is actually saying ‘yeah, he was totally fine to create the creature, no issues there, no scientific hubris at all’ lol

like i simply don’t think the text of the book supports the idea that that interpretation is ‘wrong’ i think it is the interpretation that the text lends itself towards. obviously all of literary studies is opting to ignore the text and look at subtext but like. still bears mentioning idk

“It’s anecdotal, but I regularly see Frankenstein’s monster described as a warning against scientific hubris, an alarm about Tampering With Things That Should Be Left Alone™. This I think is quite wrong: I think it is a story about what happens when one fails the (still at the time of writing) radical enlightenment by failing to take social responsibility for one’s actions and interventions. If it’s a warning, it’s a warning about turning one’s back, out of cowardice, on what one creates, not about creating it in the first place.”

— China Mieville, interview with the Weird Fiction Review (via brotticelli)

#literature #i mean this in a reasoned debate about literature disagreeing with parts of what the quote says way btw #not in a rude way #i still think it’s an interesting interpretation which is definitely not WRONG #i just think it overlooks what the book’s actual text is #in favour of an interpretation which is more interesting #which again is not WRONG #and death to the author and all that #but ….

I loved your headcannons about inukawa, reigen and reigens sister and I would really like to see what you think would happen if mob and reigens sister met and I was wondering if you could possibly draw them :D

hello yes I accidentally made a comic after seeing this ask yesterday 😁 bro psychoanalyzed her 😨

#doctorsiren #mob psycho 100 #shigeo kageyama #reigen arataka #inukawa aneko #mp100 fanart #digital art #my art #procreate #doodle requests #comic #this happens after the show which is why the ages are like that #I was gonna make their ages be 35. 28. and 14.#but then I was gonna put a whole thing about how Aneko’s son is the age that her brother was when she had her son #and to be like ‘you can’t seriously believe your son won’t be different in 14 years time’#but I didn’t wanna make the comic longer so I opted for a post-show setting #there’s a Sakurai cameo because I love and miss him 🥺#remind me to never do comics with this lining brush again #my hand HUUUURTS #like it looks nice but GOOOODNESS GRACIOUS #anyways yes thank you for this ask #it would be really funny if it was really hard to change her mind #Y’know unlike the psychic antagonists in the show…Mob’s greatest reformation challenge…is Reigen’s older sister. who doesn’t have powers.#nobody tell her about Mameta and the UFO…she’d kill her brother on the spot #also don’t ask why I have Mob and Aneko’s name in first last format and Reigen’s in reverse #it just sounds…so wrong to say Arataka Reigen…it doesn’t flow as well… :(

infantilization

#dungeon meshi #aj art #kabru of utaya #Thinking about the way Kabru is regarded by the elf community he was raised in #Even when he’s pretty clearly an adult #As a spoiled child who needs protecting #Bc they don’t view the short lived races as serious humans who deserve respect #And Kabru recognizes this because he grew up with elves #Adding art detail tags bc I put an embarrassing amount of thought into this #I tried to give him duller and rougher colorjng nd shading #And gave all the plushies soft cartoonish shading and bright colors #To illustrate how he actually is vs how he’s being categorized by the elves #I also tried to give him more specifically adult features like arm and leg hair #Eye bags shaven facial hair and scars #To make his body look lived in #Again illustrating that he’s an adult who has lived a life #Which makes him contrast to the cutesy childlike stuffed animals he’s surrounded by #Bc to us and to him the way he’s treated by the elves is really weird #He shouldn’t be lumped in with childlike things when he’s a grown adult #Also I made it so that all the stuffed animals eyes are closed #And his are open #Bc 1. the elves don’t really see him as a person and 2. They don’t really recognize how they’re treating him or why it’s wrong #But he does #He sees it clearly and knows why they’re acting like that

You ever think about how neither of them got to say goodbye?

#TSAMS #Sun and Moon Show #The Sun and Moon Show #TSAMS Lunar #SAMS Lunar #Sun #SAMS Sun #FNAF Sun #FNAF #Five Nights At Freddy's #MeaganCanDraw #I love New Moon a lot don't get me wrong but Old Moon's and Sun's relationship wasn't black and white (as much as NM wants to insist it was #YES Old Moon treated Sun horribly YES he wasn't the best person but #their relationship was also complicated and messy and they both genuinely loved each other despite everything #So much of what they did was for each other and that adds even more to the tragedy of their relationship and Moon's death #Sun and Old Moon's final conversation was them fighting #Moon's final in-person words to him were “I love you and I'm sorry”#to which Sun didn't say anything bc he was mad at him (which I don't blame him for given everything that happened in that episode)#Do you think Sun has realized this? How often does he go back to that moment #How often has he imagined himself saying or doing something different? Something that would've resulted in them leaving that bunker togethe #Meanwhile Lunar lost the person who gave him a new life and a family that actually cares about him #And he was in Moon's head for months and saw first hand how much his regrets and trauma affected him #Both of which would eventually destroy him due to the cycle of self-loathing he was trapped in #How much does HE think about that?#Anyway sorry for not posting for nearly (checks watch) two years??#It'll likely happen again #1k

Scratching up their armor is incredibly satisfying for some reason

#the clone wars #tcw #tcw fanart #captain rex #rex #wolffe #commander wolffe #fives #clone trooper fives #captain howzer #howzer #was noone going to correct me that i got his rank wrong in my previous post #clone trooper #star wars tcw #the clones #my art #face study #temuera morrison #I ran out of my fave Tem pics so I'll chill after this batch #I'll let you take a wild guess at who I had been trying to draw before I ended up with a bunch of clone portraits again #WRONG it was Rex this time around #I'll need to put some thought and effort into what my style actually is because something goes horribly wrong between #doing the actual little portrait study and then trying to apply that to make it work in “my style”#which is too close and too far from it at the same time and it's closing in on a breaking point for me #something is not working and I'll have to quickly figure out what that is #Rex and Wolffe my beloveds #I finally have a little drawing of both of them I can rest now #Wolffe remained so grey I forgot to adjust the contrast and saturation a bit more on him oops but it suits him I think #Clone portraits #tem clones

*clasps your shoulders gently and looks you straight in the eye*

Keferon. Please read Ninth by Kyn on AO3. I think you would love it very much. It has a large chapter count, but don't be intimidated, it's very easy to get into. It is currently unfinished, but is being updated regularly.

You are the seventh person that recommended this fic to me so ahahahaha yeah

I’m doing great Help I hate some parts of it but I love the other parts I’m spinning in the blender

…..I made the moodboard….

#chapter 37 #of 120 or something #I must be like 90k words in haha #large word count is not an intimidation. It’s an invitation haha #I love the fics that I can’t read in just one hour:)#I gotta say I don’t enjoy the concept of making robots into organic life #it’s just my preference #seeing them as humans or animals or whatever feels so fucking wrong #the concept itself drives me off #like. Strongly #But at the same time. This fic isn’t about them being ‘haha cute organics’#it’s ‘oh god. I was turned into something I’m not’#instead of teeheee they’re fluffy #it’s please free me from this fucking nightmare. please let me be myself again.#idk how to explain. I resonate I guess #it often feels very disturbing but the characters are also disturbed #So now I’m kind of stuck reading this fic because I just can’t stop lol #just politely skipping the parts that make me too uncomfortable #also #the body horror is….damn. Impressive. I didn’t expect to read about grotesque fleshy creature turning itself inside out #it’s not even aesthetic or symbolic #it literally looks like a fucking nightmare. Which is impressive also.#the flesh is g r o s s #the beginning got me struggling and skipping #but the intermission is currently ruining my sleep schedule #oh fuck….I usually send my posts to the authors of the fics I read…..but I feel like I might offend the author of Ninth if do this……..#there’s a tiny chance they’re following me….if it’s true then I wanna tell I’m sorry pls don’t take this seriously #your fic got me waay out of my comfort zone #huge points for writing Ratchet. Drift in this fic is…the grossest fucking thing I could probably imagine but Ratchet doesn’t even hesitate #he helps him and he cares for him. Which is…..imma be real my first instinct would be to set Drift on fire to end his misery

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)

#HELLO back at it again #tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au #the division of labour is as follows:#dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song #if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long #pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses #he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life #cam does 98% of the actual cooking #trivia section -#you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading #cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam)#the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius)#and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first #*#dulcie septimus #dulcinea septimus #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb #field sketches #<< i get to have an art tag now!

Clark is aware that spying on others is more Batman's thing.

However... it's his little niece and nephew, okay? Just because they live in Illinois now (and aren't his blood relatives) doesn't mean anything. The Walker family's always been close with the Kents, even if only Grandma Walker still even lives in Smallville. So, just like he always keeps an ear out for Ma and Pa, he keeps an ear out for Alicia, Maddie, her husband Jack, and his cute niece and nephew's heartbeats.

It's easy enough and a pretty good indicator of their well-being, even beyond the obvious.

Clark really can't be held accountable for the chair that punched through the wall of the Watchtower's meeting room when he shot up out of it. He figures that he's being quite restrained, actually, since his nephew's heart literally just stopped beating.

In the time that it takes to pacify the rest of the assembled League members, though, Danny's heart starts beating again.

But it's different. Slower. Dangerously so.

He needs to get to Amity Park right now.

#dpxdc #danny phantom #dc comics #superman #:)#can you IMAGINE him rolling up being all concerned #and it looks like nothing's wrong #except now there's a portal to hell in his sibs' basement #and danny is shifty about how it got turned on #and all clark can think is 'oh god it's a Lab Accident situation isn't it'#and then. a month or so later. danny's heartbeat stops again #because that's when he transforms again right? mystery meat ep 1 #and clark freaks out again #in the time it takes him to get there (civilian way which he is Regretting)#it starts and stops and starts again and clark's losing it

we as a fandom do not talk about this scene enough. what the fuck is this. why did he feel the need to install this? so he could stare at his boybestfriend all day without having to get up?

#gregory house i know what you are.#does this even ever get mentioned again?#like oh yes this Totally Straight Man spent actual days around very loud noise (which he loathes) but he's adding something totally cool to #the office right?? it's gonna be so so fun and great right?? to make all that hell noise worth it???#like in the eps before that the sound of the ortho saw things drove him insane #but this? totally fine #because it's worth it!#i mean come on. how are we supposed to take this. “oh he just wants to piss wilson off” WRONG.#wilson seems mildly annoyed at best. he's used to this. this is Normal just another day of being friends with house #but look at house's pleased little face. his stupid smile. i'm going to commit atrocities #house md #hate crimes md #james wilson #gregory house #hilson
