I'm sorry I can't watch the new trigun and I never will. it looks so ugly. the vibe is no where near the same and it takes away 90% of the charm of the original and makes it into something totally different. I feel like theyre giving it the sports anime treatment where they're banking on twinkification selling lots. like a yaoi head trap.
#tbh i hate yaoi culture#i think were not allowed to have nuanced conversations about it without being called like misogynists or whatever#and i think thats lame 🤷#anyways the new one gives it a different vibe simply bc of the art style and tone#ive never read the manga so i cant compare it but#idk the twinkification is wild to me#it made it unattractive to me#i like the masculine wild wild west vibe it had#i look up to the old vash#the new vash just looks like some ugly twink#it feels like it was made to target the yaoi obsessed fandom#so they could sell a bunch of merch#it honestly feels like one of the most heartless remakes to a classic ever#i have nostalgia reasons for not watching the new one too#which are more prominent than this#but if they didnt change soooo much of the vibe of it#which is literally the best part of the original#then i mightve considered it#but its literally just too ugly#im not a 14yro girl the new designs dont entice me#and dont say “thats not why they did iy”#its marketing#thats exactly why they did it#they know what audience to target#to revamp the trigun hype#whilst not having to put in a whole ton of effort#all they have to do is make them look more twinky and yall will lose ur entire shit for it#anyways i know all of this bc all of the yaoi heads are obsessed with zazie#when no one previously cared about him#they only do now bc they made him have a more shota-esque design..... tell me that's not intentional

I don't think Jayce and Viktor literally died. They were kind of pulled into another dimension/astral plane/whatever you call it. We see older Viktor, and while it could be another Viktor, I think it would be more meaningful if it was our Viktor, finally free from the arcane, going through the universe with Jayce, fixing timelines together. Kind of like a cosmic mission.
#jayvik#arcane spoilers#arcane season 2#arcane#the yaoi isn't as doomed as it seems#i mean arcane s2 wasn't perfect#and jayvik left me feeling colder than expected#they played a huge role in the end and they barely had screentime this season????#i will always love jayvik tho#otp otp i adore them#jayvik screentime isn't the only issue I have with season 2 tho#the way piltover vs zaun was treated.........#“omg if we work together we can solve our differences” what differences tho there was a clear power imbalance and police brutality I'm????#plus jink's “death” was kinda forced and weak?? so last minute??? like I know she isn't actually dead but yeah#and sevika????? where's my wife?????? she did NOTHING on act 3???? did she even talk????#also mel has never been my favourite bc they mainly used her as a plot device and a romantic interest to a male character which suckss#but in s1 she started to show vulnerability in the end??? even early s2??? like girl where is all of that??#that's WAY more interesting than the “tough serious warrior” character she's become#anyway everything happened too quickly#too much time spent on noxus shit#ooooh i wonder what the next show is going to be about hmmmm#and so many things weren't explained#everything surrounding viktor and the arcane and what happened to jayce and viktor was kinda foggy#also wtf is sky doing there???? it should have been little viktor or something idk#plus where are caitlyn's dictator arc and vi's boxer arc?? they barely lasted???#and maddie should have been more prominent if she was working with ambessa? we barely saw her (or ambessa) manipulate caitlyn#also ambessa's plan wasn't 100% clear either so I'm guessing that plot line (and singed's???) will appear again sometime

#mdzs#jiang cheng#yanyan polls#jc apologism#does this warrant the apologism tag? idk#better meta-writers than i have spilled much ink on this subject#but why is jc still unmarried? this isnt the sort of setting where people marry for love#and even characters like wen chao and jin guangshan are married so jc what is going on???#king do your filial duty#also given the jiang sect's prominence and ties with the jin sect (via jin ling) ppl really are sleeping on some prime political real estat#like even if you hate his guts madame of lotus pier is a pretty sweet position to have#and if he really sucks too much shit you can find some way to incapacitate him or get rid of him. smh just poison him fr#also#you will notice that there is no “he's a misogynist” option#antis like to call jc a misogynist but tbh i dont see much evidence for that in the text#the only female characters jc interacts with at length in the text are his mom and his sister. and he's respectful of both of them#he also hears out sisi and bicao seriously instead of yeeting them. which would be more normal for a nobleman of his position to do#tbf this is also because there just arent that many female characters for jc to interact with. mxtx did not want to write women :(

the king shunned, the lion dead, the knight lost, the princess absent. but the wizard lives.
#pokemon#swsh#champion league#cw: gore#hi! this one is also about being trans btw. but mostly it's abt stories#I think I was drawing this one like ''leon should get to have fun a little'' and it turned into. this#well. there are many things already! like I've been rotating the lion dance costume head as trophy thing in my brain since#that one doodle I did with that lion head#the original idea for this has the wreaths more prominent and also pizelated#and. it tried to incorporate something that needs much more delicate handling#than I'm currently capable of. so I shelved it for this instead#I think this piece is just like. fully linking the king-knight-beast-princess-wizard figures altogether for leon#u know what I think abt all that! u kno whats up#but also just a tiny bit. this was drawn with that whole once-a-month disk horse abt sexing skeleton remains#about which my only real thought is ''I gotta be buried in a solid metal salmon suit then''#well. if I were to be buried at all. I'm good to be thrown out for a natural meal as well of course#(technically) first piece after job babey!!#in the end the tiger wanted to be drawn first but this was started way beforehand#I think because I wanted something more ink-heavy. since my job art was almost entirely painted#to anyone who may come into my inbox or comment to ask why the bones shine: its cause theyre wet. congrats#have a good night lads! it's nice and cool to be gross sometimes

Something that frustrates me whenever I watch or listen to British media is that I know there's a wealth of information about people's class and background encoded into their accents, but I can't catch most of it because I wasn't raised in a situation where making those distinctions mattered. It's like something being lost in translation even though it's still English. There are Layers here and I am missing them.
#take lyra for example#she's the child of nobility raised by scholars but spends a lot of time with servants and street kids#which part of that is most prominent in her speech?#what parts of her background would strangers listening to her guess?#she's *written* with more low class slang but I can't tell from the actress#my mother watches more British media and says she can tell she sounds less posh than her parents#but it's sailing over my head. the hearing loss doesn't help

im in such dire need of haskill-related content, i began to create nonsensical crackships revolving him. like ok what do you mean herdir (yes, him) and haskill have absolutely zero implied relationship and probably have no probability of having any connection whatsoever.?????, im not making shit up i swear. and im posting this because i cant silence myself
he asked for no pickles >:(
#this is like i put two bad ends of a magnet together yet i cant stop#also for the record I’ve literally never seen any content regarding my lovely man Herdir#so like#me after Haskill called Herdir’s torturing abilities ‘talents’#of course you’d say that /j#my art#drafts#maybe they both have slight sadistic tendencies in a way#DEFINITELY one more outward and prominent than the other#dot dot dot#with Herdir its something your used to but when Haskill randomly spills some strangely freaky shit… your a bit appalled#at first i guess 🙄#in which i am referring to some of Haskill’s dialogue in game#cant say it isnt a bit freaky#I think Herdir would definitely appreciate someone so well composed yet definitely not innocent#and Herdir actually was called ‘not a bad fellow’ so that’s kinda chill#then again that was from Brithaur and i kinda hate that ho#insubstantial rant moment

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#my post#friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional'#(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...)#EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband#but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part#As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional'#A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means#of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances#to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor)#It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey#It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years#But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious)#By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family#(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons)#I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485#which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional#date of 12 February 1487#2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other#widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump#to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was)#I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument#Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was#They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless#I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests)#certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort#and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!'#which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure#ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

listen i get where people are coming from when they say that nobody should have expected a radical overhaul of the shinobi system considering the series very squarely set up its main theme as not abandoning friends. that certainly was the setup. but i also think it would be inaccurate to say that the story as it evolved affirmed that refusing to abandon one's friends was the be-all and end-all fix for everything. i cannot emphasize this enough: it's not as though the prior generations we saw lacked devotion to their teammates. the problem was that the larger sociopolitical circumstances obstructed their ability to connect in one way or another. even naruto acknowledges at the land of iron that his and sasuke's positions made it impossible for them to reconcile. so for the series to do a 180 and assert that actually friendship was the solution all along (even though there have been no meaningful systemic changes, even though the source of these intergenerational conflicts has not been addressed) rings hollow. it's especially glaring that being violently beaten in a fight makes sasuke desert his quest for justice without any reservation -- therefore no ideological or political separation was bridged, sasuke was just made to forget what motivated him for the entire series' run. naruto and team 7 succeeding where their predecessors failed was not a function of anything they did differently, but mere narrative convenience.
#like. nearly every prominent relationship in this series is definitive proof that love is not enough!#itachi without a doubt loved sasuke and itachi hurt sasuke more immensely than anyone and itachi did it because of loyalty to the state#if that is how you love... your love is worth nothing#so yeah it just feels really disingenuous to say that the series was about the power of friendship all along#and people expecting anything else were watching the wrong series#when textually the power of friendship has ALWAYS proven insufficient#naruto#naruto meta#team 7#and listen u could certainly argue that the friendship in previous gens was deficient because there was no attempt made#at understanding or compromise. and to really live by obito's nindo you had to prioritize each other over country ALWAYS#but the series didn't do that either. sasuke for all intents and purposes 'lost'#and he was integrated back into konoha by accepting the hitai-ate#nrt had a bunch of weird mixed messaging on that front in general. like hiruzen letting orochimaru go which proved disastrous for konoha#or hiruzen and danzo's whole thing lmao#but whether the uchiha massacre was right/necessary was also left ambiguous so i'm not sure how that's supposed to paint hiruzen

Compiled this lil piece from solar filter I used during the eclipse and plants I grabbed from my friend's parents' yard in Arkansas (they have those cool helicopter seeds we don't have around Florida)! Included Jupiter and Venus symbols on two handheld filters since those planets were very visible during the eclipse, and bits of a cyanotype I did the day before! So all the components are directly related to the eclipse/general area I viewed it from :-)
#my art#i don't actually usually post my actual art here bksndjd but I kinda busted my butt and thought this was a very cool thing I did !#text#eclipse#solar eclipse#the truth is out there#all of the inorganic materials are solar filter or cyanotype#(aside from glue lol)#the silver is the side that faces the sun - the black is what you look through!#and all the organic materials were from near eclipse path#i like the little red leaves which I grabbed bc I thought they looked cool but they ended up being neat as prominences too lol#anyway. inspo'd by exquisite creatures exhibit in crystal bridges AR bc the guy there uses bugs n plants n such in his art#also fuck leaves for use in art those little bitches fr . very annoying !#probs my fault in part bc I'm too impatient to book dry them tho... I rly wanted to get this Out Of Me y'know?#i put that dandelion together by hand lmaooo#like reattached the seeds to the head . so I could glue em on somewhat and keep em kinda more in place#than how they were attached naturally

St. Peter redesign sort of. I mostly just gave him one of the Pope robes because St. Peter was the first Pope if I am not mistaken, and also I think this might mean that Hazbin Hotel is supposed to follow a more Catholic based lore (obviously this goes in tandem with the cardinal/mortal sins (aka 7 deadly sins) which is a more catholic thing and Al being dressed as a nun, but saints are mostly recognized as a catholic thing but I know that some orthodox sects and I think maybe one Protestant sect also recognize a few saints.).
So anyway I gave him the Pope robe thingy and I made the cross on it upside down to reference how he was crucified and made him a bit more stressed out. Also keys because I thought it would be fun
#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel spoilers#hazbin redesign#derpy duck art#fanart#fandom#redesign#I was very disappointed by this#because he’s actually a pretty interesting person and his existence does imply that God is in this world#but like#come onnnnn#he has his own special cross#and I know they are using it in hell because it is much easier to draw over and over than the actual satanic cross#but still#it would be a really cool design touch#and as a catholic I love seeing these types of things in biblically inspired works#but also he looks so very bland for one of the more prominent disciples in the Bible#like I hear about him so much not just in Catholic Church but also in my friends church (Baptist)#like he’s so human in the sense that he made a lot of mistakes but he still obviously loved God and Jesus and did his best to continue to#the teachings of Jesus and I feel like for such an important character this is such a nothing design and he has such a small roll. which#I am sort of glad for

^^^ HJGKHG... so im trying to compile a bunch of unfinished little scribbles into doodle pages and like. this is so funny. "echem page", "voli page", "other skills" HKJFHF???? and the fact that i might have to split voli's into ANOTHER 4000x3000 CANVAS because theres not enough room?? wow can you tell who my current muse is!!
^^^ TOO MANY OF HIM!!!! THIS IS JUST ONE SECTION!!!!! i just copy-pasted all of them into one canvas, so i have to rearrange everything so you can actually see them all lmao <3
#chemi chats#voliart#this is all from me scrounging my old canvases for unfinished doodles and pasting them all into one canvas to organize hkjfh#really thought there'd be more echems than volis actually!! i used to draw him so much when i first started this blog :0#but its shifted to voli over time hkjf (i think it REALLY KICKED UP during the skills bracket and i was trying to make propaganda hkjf)#the ones where he's ''smiling'' awugh hehe :'] blorbo... <333 there's also a bunch of him in dresses which i might put together#''other skills'' has various 13-ish other skills; most prominently concept because shes really fun actually hkjg#echem's is pretty clean actually!! it only needs a little organization. i'll probably post his first! i'll get em out eventually lmao <3

alright, taking bets on who is holding the flashlight at the end of Ep8
I've got my money on two candidates:
either the one person who was in the Biddle house that we haven't heard from, and who was sold as a villain from the start.
or the one person who willingly walked into the Biddle house but whose plans got massively derailed by Harold's sudden appearance.
it's either Allison, the ex-girlfriend, or Nathan Bratt himself.
If I'm wrong, then Disney needs new writers.
#Goosebumps 2023#Goosebumps#Episode 8 jumped off the cliff with Slappy in my opinion#I didn't find the apology scene touching or heartfelt#I don't believe Harold would give up a 30-year grudge like that#I think if he had the parents there he would absolutely rage#I think Harold deserved a more satisfying conclusion than that#Y'all he was straight up killed#We went from petty larceny to manslaughter to borderline 3rd degree homicide#If anyone ever murders me I ain't giving up that easy#But also Slappy didn't even really try to keep Harold in the game#There was no victimizing no blaming no shaming no ingratiating#Slappy just kind of let himself get punted#Which implies he's got bigger plans and Harold is not in them#Allison would be a great person to bring back around#But having Nathan Bratt actually be our real villain all along#Now THAT would be a really great plot twist#And it would also make sense why Bratt (not Harold) is featured so prominently on the poster#Because Bratt is wearing the glasses in the poster#Looking forward to having Disney prove me wrong

the other thing re the lumateran homophobia discussion is of course the fact that the insult du jour for foreigners is that they are inherently less masculine (& therefore inherently lesser in general)
#like this is really what everything they have to say about charynites & belegonians & osterians &&& boils down to#(& obv it's used w/in the nation as well but that's generally less prominent in the story) like anything that isn't a legitimate grievance#ties back into this & a lot of the time is perceived to be tied to the grievance. like they're bad bc [insult] which means they do#[grievance] rather than being bad due to the latter with the former as an incidental#& *obviously* this is a reflection of the real world but in the context of the apparently far more accepting than that lumatere#digs about charynite dancing making froi look like a girl really make any attempts on that front ring hollow. whatever!#(like probably the given scenario is that if you perform masculinity correctly enough outside of r/ships ie tomas & bosco you get#conditional acceptance. w/ everything that entails. this isn't everything i have to say on the matter but it's#everything coherent i have rn)

decided to watch Deadloch on a whim after seeing like 2 gifsets of Eddie looking like a fun character, knowing absolutely nothing about the show, and was instantly rewarded with surprise lesbian sex 👍
(Between the main character and her wife, not the buddy cops, buuuut they're having marriage issues and there's fun chemistry and many sex jokes between her and Eddie so the vibes are excellent and i'm having a great time so far)
#no one spoil me but god i hope the wives break up - even if the cops don't fuck it would probably lead to a more prominent#les subplot next season which is always better than mc married to a tertiary character#text post#marley on whatever
