Once again bringing to you the thought that Gortash was the serpent in the tree (cuz that man is a snake and slithering wet malice, not just wet malice or malice noooooo it’s gotta be slithering like a snake) and that Durge, in this instance, is little Eve who gained forbidden knowledge (realising she was in fact chilling in a golden cage) and who fell after becoming aware (just how durge fell from grace after learning how to genuinely spare someone).
Also bhaal becoming a god thx to Jergal and Durge being formed from a piece of Bhaals body (or his blood rather) bla bla bla
Do you see why I can’t get rid of this reoccurring thought and how the symbolism just matches.
#also the implications this holds for bhaals plans#which are not actually implications#cuz u know what he does to a failed durge#I actually just realised that part em#*rn#and I am kinda disturbed by it#but it’s also quite poetic#also bhaals children slaying each other#but not particularly cuz they want to#like these 2 guys (u may know em)#named Cain and Abel#… I’m not just imagining these parallels am I#bg3#bg3 spoilers#enver gortash#durgetash#bg3 durge#yeah the religious crisis is strong with this one#on so many levels#it’s the fucking creation myth bhaalspawn edition#watch me descent into madness in my own tags - the sequel

One wedding and three funerals
Background paintings under the cut
#tomgreg#succession#tom wambsgans#greg hirsch#shiv roy#roman roy#kendall roy#yeah no im not tagging everyone thats too much#this is me going 'how much implications themes and symbolism can i fit in one painting'#yes i gave rose shivs haircolor. if we ever find out how she looks like and its not like this im just gonna pass away i guess#but yeah i hope yall connect the dots#i put waaay too much thought and work into this. i was googling pictures of all the actors as kids just for reference (sigh)#honestly kinda wanted to make tom and greg link pinkies as like. a pinkie promise. but that was too hard to draw in this angle#at least not without obstructing the view of the ring which is important to see so ya#my fave is actually the tomshiv wedding pic i went off with that. i love them... they should have run away to become sheep farmers fr fr#anyway im so glad im done with this UGH!! finally i can draw smth else without being like oh noooo i need to finish this#i see a lot of you wondering why there is no portrait of logan but one of ewan#it's bc the placement of the painting represent their standing. logans portray would not hang next to the stairs#his present portrait hangs at the end of it. all the way up at the top. alone and withering away#basically the picture you see underneath ewan to the right? its where toms parents would be. the right side of the wall is tom and gregs#and the left one is the roy siblings theirs. since they grew up rich rich. and tom and greg didn't#but ya thats why ewan hangs here and logan does not :)

Ok like fuck man can we talk about this page? Cause it's very obvious that Bill is possessive over Ford (case in point with him literally telling Ford he belongs to him multiple times) but I think what sort of gets played down a bit is that Ford is also extremely possessive of Bill by the end of the time when they were working together, and the implications of that. Like. Bill essentially introduces himself as a god of knowledge. A being of pure energy and knowledge, a being greater than any human, in knowledge, lifespan, and power. And Ford by the end of their relationship, is possessive over essentially a fucking god. Like sure some of that is Ford's own ego and Ford becoming accustomed to Bill the past few years so the shock and awe of him being a 'god' is a bit less shiny, and the page in question also is supposed to heavily imply that their relationship is romantic in nature with their jealousy but also. Fucking hell Ford, possessive over a god.
But like... at the same time, Ford does have a claim over Bill. When Bill and Ford made a deal "until the end of time", it meant for the both of them; not just Ford being tied to, claimed by (owned, as Bill says) by Bill, but Bill also being claimed, owned by Ford; it's a marriage contract between the two of them, and they both are supposed to hold power over each other.
#hugin rambles#hugin rambles gf#gravity falls#gravity falls meta#billford#the book of bill#TBOB#bill cipher#ford pines#stanford pines#anyways. just. thinking bout the implications... jesus the both of them are insane#also like. very interesting to follow the idea of the contract and of its actually binding which it supposedly is...

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!”#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

No but actually I've been really thinking about it and Mihawk just doesn't do shit by halves does he? he's so obsessive.
He doesn't just like red wine it's literally his favorite food
He doesn't just like swords, his is practically his soul made physical. Yoru is so coded in his dna that they literally had to make a replica for his clone.
he isn't just into swordsmanship he literally became the world's best and strongest swordsman
He doesn't just like to duel he's overdone it so much that no one can hold his interest anymore
He didn't just kill marines he was the literal marine hunter.
He doesn't just wait for Zoro at the top he collects every single bounty poster obsessively tracking his rise
He doesn't just let the kids live with him he adopts them, and teaches them how to be stronger. Doesn't let Perona go until he knowns that he can no longer properly guarantee her safety.
He can't just have a garden he has to go full on farmer strawhat and all.
He doesn't just like Shanks he wants to consume him whole he let's the memory of their duel haunt him and even 12 years later he can't fully forgive them. This might be the single most important relationship in his life.
There isn't a moderate bone in his body. He's either making decisions just because or letting them consume him whole.
I bet it's all the Catholicism.
#what are the implications of this for S-Hawk I wonder?#He seems to lowkey already have his competitiveness and haughty attitude#my boy's first words where essentially how dare you capture me. like he wasnt just trying to kill them#But yeah what's up with that you weirdo go see a theraphist#and maybe drink some water we haven't actually seen him consume anything but red wine which is concerning babe#except that one time he angrily ate a rice ball#seriously get help#dracule mihawk#op#hawkeye mihawk#mishanks#shanks#roronoa zoro#one piece#red haired shanks#marine hunter mihawk#goth fam#throwing thoughts to the void#one piece goth family#goth family

Ok so everyone and their grandmother have talked about "when I told dad I was scared of the thing in my closet he gave me a .45" when Sam was nine (?) years old.
But I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about the fact that according to John's journal it WORKED.
Like,
"5 nights running now Sammy has slept without nightmares" ok-
#somewhat revolutionary discovery for me#it also has the very fun implication of one of my favourite hc/interpretations which is;#yes john raised sam and dean rough and they were nurtured to turn out a little weird bcoz of it#but they are also very very much Just Fucking Like That#sam. you 9 year old little freak. how tf did ur daddy giving you a handgun to shoot the monster in ur closet actually work.#most kids would just be weirded out and scared to shit. but nah.#maybe johns right and sometimes all you need is a .45 under your pillow...#spn#samandjohn

How do I say this without sounding insane. When people choose to depict abusive characters as Pure Evil rather than complex human beings like any other character, not only is it reductive and lazy and make for a less interesting story, I think it also kinda does a disservice by obfuscating the reality of abuse
#There was a lot of Catalina Flores talk on the dash today which inspired this. $20 to the first dc fanfic writer who can figure out how to#depict Catalina with an actual personality besides Evil Rapist Vixen dear god#also the reason why I hate the depiction of abusive Willis in fanon (and canon) outside of the classist implications is that it tends to be#very stereotypical and one note. Terribly boring even!#Dc

it's quite offputting to me when ppl can't disentangle their hatred for capitalism from a hatred for... new technological innovation? the ways in which capitalism has shaped the development of certain technologies has been deeply negative, not to mention that imperialism ensures that new technology is usually produced via extractive relationships with both the planet + ppl in the global south.
but this weird tying of capitalist impact on innovation (+the idea of what is/is not innovation) to hatred of innovation itself (or even more disturbing valorization of "the good old days"/implications that technology is causing social degeneracy) is baffling to me. perhaps it is impossible to achieve specific technologies without unconscionable resource extraction practices, in which case they should not be pursued. but so many ppl act like there is something inherently morally suspect in pursuit of tech such as autonomous vehicles or AI or automation, independent of the material conditions that produced them/that they may produce.
tesla is evil because they exploit ppl for profit + participate in an economy built on the exploitation of the global south + use 'innovation' as a marketing tool to mask serious safety concerns. they're not evil bcuz they want to make vehicles that move on their own. there are actually a great deal of fantastic applications for vehicles which move on their own? equating technology with moral decay is not a radical position; you need a material analysis of why technological innovation has become characterized by harmful practices.
#just saw a truly tragic article abt a death related to self driving car#entire comments section SWAMPED with the implication that any attempts to create self driving cars is INHERENTLY EVIL#like. actually fully automated public transportation would be dead fucking useful#public transit is not currently fully automated + is extremely limited in many cities#im so tired of ppl who need the technology to also be BAD to call out the practices which produced it#things do not need to be black/white for u to understand that exploiting others is morally wrong...

Kieran Culkin on Roman's playboy image and the way the actors/writers understanding of backstory fits together. (x)
#thought it might be interesting to throw this out there#I think “playboy” is sometimes used in connection with Roman by Jesse/Mark in a way that can be read as a split from Kieran's view#and that's totally fair#or it can be read as consistent in that that's the image Roman works to project#which i tentatively think may be the implication for what his life looked a little like pre-series but still thinking through that#I think that's what makes Roman so interesting to watch when he's in those party environments#he's clearly good at people in a way his siblings aren't#and he knows how to be in those spaces (even if there's a discomfort with drugs and sex)#see for example how he is with Lawrence in S1 and that he knew about Rhomboid#but at the same time that's clearly not all of Roman or even an accurate reflection of his internal life#and it's unclear how frequently he actually goes out#anyway I think the point is just that Roman is interesting haha#and I think both reads support the fake playboy thing and not like...a real one lol#roman roy#succession#cast interviews#hbo succession#kieran culkin

cant believe when im consuming deltarune theories i have to sit through takes like "yeah I guess ANOTHER HIM sounds kinda like gasters theme but theres no proof" or "yeah people assume the intro narrator is gaster but we dont actually know"
like do yall need Toby to spell it out in big block letters for you?
OH WAIT. HE DID.
#incredibly difficult to believe that anyone whos ever deliberately listened to both songs cant tell theyre variants of each other#and man. come on. the twitter takeover of the UT account by an entity whose name was six letters long and blacked out#an entity who spoke in all caps and made direct references to entry 17 and the fact that players had been 'looking for him'#lead DIRECTLY into the intro sequence to ch1 back when it was just 'survey program'#therefore. the twitter entity is gaster. therefore. the gonermaker entity is gaster. THEREFORE. ANOTHER HIM#which is AN OBVIOUS REFERENCE to the 'Mus_st_him.ogg' filename for Gaster's Theme in undertale#and is literally a slight variation of the exact same musical motif. IS OBVIOUSLY GASTERS THEME#look i dont hold it against the average person for not connecting those dots#but people who are actually making videos on this shit and want to be taken seriously? they should do better.#excercise your brain cells my man#(except for you andrew cunningham. you never let me down)#on top of the fact that all this is actually really obvious if you look into it at even a surface level#ut/dr are not the kind of games where everything is spelled out for you#half the appeal in the first place is the way the story is told through hints and implications#and while theres room for speculation in many areas. toby is irrefutably an absolute nut for themes and motifs. so when you find them#you bet your ass it aint a coincidence#anyway rant over. im just TIRED of these takes#idk if any of this is actually coherent i havent slept#freak speak

Speaking of coins, I think it's neat that we have a trinity of Apollos with uncommon characteristics:
Apollo Karneios with ram horns and ram ears, Apollo Soranus with a star diadem and a pick-axe and Apollo Vejovis with winged head, a trident and a dagger. (The last two are the results of his syncretism with Roman deities)
What's more fun about the coins of Apollo-Vejovis is that some of them put a thunderbolt under his bust or straight up show him holding it:
And I can't help but think of this being equivalent to a girl wearing her mom's makeup for the photo day
#apollo#look Apollo has already used thunderbolt in a couple of classical texts#I don't think Zeus would mind if his son borrowed it for a few minutes for a photoshoot#Okay jokes aside Vejovis is such an obscure deity (just like Soranus)#The explanation given by Gellius is that Jupiter/Jove is ultimately derived from “iuvare” which means “to help”#so Vejovis was the antithesis of Jove...doing the opposite of help#he was believed to bring harm with his arrows#So was also prayed upon to avert evils#hence his syncretism with Apollo#I also feel like they also just syncretised Jupiter with Apollo to some extent here#because soon after stating his identification with Apollo#Gellius has mentioned that a she-goat was sacrificed to Vejovius (yknow as a nod to Amalthea nursing Zeus/Jupiter#this also happens with Apollo Soranus actually#Soranus is conflated with Apollo and called the highest of the gods#and Servius notes that “highest of the gods” is a title given to Jupiter#so yeah it was a not a complete or even a direct syncretism but there was a line that connected them#and i find the implications very interesting#mine

"Ignoring or erasing how a person's racial and cultural background influences the things they create is erasing the part ethnic minorities play in history and the formation of different cultures"
and
"Saying that something isn't actually British/American/etc because it was created by an immigrant or someone in an ethnic minority group is another way of saying that immigrants and their children are not really part of the countries they immigrated to and they'll always be outsiders"
are both true statements.
#this is about how many people say that foods invented by ethnic and racial minorities in britain aren't actually british foods#which has some really nasty implications about how you view the place of immigrants and ethnoreligious people in society

see zim's a fun character because on one hand he's been legitimately mistreated in a lot of ways and was never really given the chance to be anything besides a walking nuclear bomb, and there's a tragedy in that he'll never be able to acknowledge that injustice much less act against it. but on the other hand he's destroyed the lives of millions (at least) and has a capacity bordering on the magical for turning any attempt to make him face a meaningful consequence for his actions into more widespread destructive chaos, so at the same time it's equally infuriating that he's thriving in spite of the limitations imposed upon him. somehow, both of these sentiments manage to effortlessly co-exist.
#invader zim#zim#iz posting#natterings#invader zim the show in which no one ever really wins#(except gaz and do what you will with the implications of a practical personification of apathy being so consistently rewarded)#anyway yeah the thing about zim is that the universe contrives to punish him for anything#EXCEPT for the stuff he actually deserves to get punished for#its like the ultimate lose-lose paradox

on occasion ive mentioned that Function is made of math/is from the realm of math and happened to get stuck in a meat body but this also implies that his parents would still just be. literal equations.
#my art#im on the fence about if i want to find an actual specific equation that function used to be#but if hes not there anymore it would imply that the equation doesnt exist anymore which has. implications

#is it self-sacrifice or self-destruction? why not both#dick grayson#tim drake#i think tim's red robin fight is probably better known bc dick fans tend to focus on the angst at the beginning of the renegade arc#instead of the angst at the end of the renegade arc#HOWEVER at the end of the renegade arc blüdhaven is exploding#and dick - who's been extremely down on himself and convinced that maybe he's kind of a bad guy -#gets a brief new lease on life by being highly-motivated to charge into the exploding city with a borderline suicidal plan#which very predictably ends in him charging into an explosion and passing out and getting rescued by batman#(bruce is then a jerk about it but never mind that for the sake of the parallel)#and so dick spends his whole charge-into-the-city-on-fire soliloquy thinking about how he's gonna do things RIGHT now#and he's BETTER now - no more shades of gray!! only black and white!!!#and on the one hand this is clearly genuinely felt and it's a huge relief for him to be able to see himself as a hero again#but it's hard to miss that. like. the actual plan that he has.#involves putting himself in extreme danger with no backup and probably dying#and there's a strong implication that maybe to dick that part is a feature and not a bug#hoc scripsi
