To any disabled person undergoing tests to find What's Wrong: I hope your results come back the way you hope and that you receive the help you need. I hope you are not denied care, I hope you are taken seriously even after this, and I hope that you will be taken care of compassionately
#disability#currently going through something like this for myself and while i doubt there's anything 'wrong' i still did it#people are always weird about people who are disappointed or devastated about 'normal results' but...#...it's because normal results don't mean much when you still have the issue at hand...#...if my test came back that my back is physically normal that doesn't indicate that i don't have back pain does it?#because i am still in pain so often even if i have a 'physically normal' back...#...just as an example but i don't think a lot of abled people 'get it'#also like... if your tests are coming back 'normal' every time that might give your care providers pause...#...and they might just start infantilizing you or treating you like a hypochondriac...#...'are you SURE [problem] isn't just anxiety?' 'are you SURE you're actually experiencing [x] or are you exaggerating it?'

merlin who stands against the wall while uther reprimands arthur, who stands behind arthur at dinners where uther’s disapproval and disappointment is apparent, who has been there when arthur is quiet and despondent after private meetings with his father, who has watched for years the sting of uther’s words and sometimes hands against his own son, who has bit his tongue and followed arthur with gentle hands and softer words as he puts the pieces back together of the man he knows and loves.
merlin watching uther lose his temper over arthur going against him for their people and watching arthur crawl into himself and shove his feelings down to be the emotionless prince his father expects of him. once uther’s rage has quelled somewhat, he dismisses arthur without another look and arthur leaves, his back ramrod straight and his chin held high despite the glazed look in his eyes, his last shot at keeping his composure. and merlin breaks, he glares at uther and waits until the doors shut to speak, in case arthur was close enough to hear.
merlin rants and raves at uther, calls him out on his bs, and tells him to be there for his son. ofc uther isn’t having any of it and yells back at merlin but merlin isn’t deterred and keeps going on and on about how much of a disappointment uther is as a father and how much better arthur deserves. uther steps in close and raises his hand as if to backhand merlin but he doesn’t. the two stare at each other, heated glare meeting heated glare, and finally uther mutters that he should have merlin flogged for speaking like that to him. merlin doesn’t waver as he welcomes uther too but he couldn’t just stand by and watch uther tear arthur apart anymore.
uther slowly lowers his hand and turns his back on merlin but he hasn’t given in to merlin’s argument so he switches tactics. he asks how uther expects arthur to be the sure, determined, and just king he is meant to be if uther won’t let him grow into his power and autonomy, let him learn his lessons and apply them as king. uther finally lowers his shoulders at merlin’s argument which just irks him more as uther clearly cares more for arthur as a future king rather than a son but he doesn’t point that out.
uther turns to stare at merlin and asks if he really just disrespected the king so horribly just for arthur, merlin nods once without hesitation and echoes “for arthur”. uther’s lips twitch despite himself and he nods and says how he is glad arthur has someone like merlin looking out for him. merlin tests his luck once more and responds that arthur could have more than just him, he could have a dad, not just a father.
merlin watches as arthur reports back to his father the next week about an expedition they had gone on to protect one of camelot’s outlying villages from raiders and uther grins wide and pulls arthur into an awkward side hug that’s more a complicated pat on his shoulder but at least it’s something. uther says openly how he’s proud and that camelot should feel lucky to have a prince who is looking out for her.
arthur is stunned and manages a slight bow to his father as he leaves (merlin and uther exchanging a glance and nod as he passes). merlin watches arthur as the room empties and a wide, proud smile stretches across his face. merlin feels warm and fuzzy at the sight and chuckles as arthur spins and pulls merlin into a similar side hug while laughing loudly. the two of them have the most fun that day, spending the rest of the daylight goofing off and running around with no particular goal in mind other than enjoying the day. it’s the happiest merlin has seen arthur be for such a long period of time.
#obviously uther is a pos and doesnt remain like this for long before falling back into his anger and rage and belittling arthur again#merlin is disappointed but not surprised#he gives up on uther and decides to just be arthur’s support#OR#uther tests it out and makes a deal with merlin that he’ll be more supportive of arthur’s independence#but if he steps too far out of line or grows too arrogant as to stand against him or makes a big mess of things#it will be merlin who suffers the punishment rather than arthur#this results in merlin getting dragged down to the dungeons and getting whipped#uther wanted it to be a public flogging but knew how much merlin meant to him so he decided to do it in private so arthur wouldnt blow up#merlin hides his wounds and uther returns to his shitty ways and takes the bit of confidence arthur acquired#years later established merthur and arthur is tracing merlins scars in bed and asks about the whip marks on his back#merlin hesistates bc he doesnt want to tell arthur the truth and tries to lie but arthur calls him out on it#‘we said no more lies’ and merlin folds and tells him#arthur (guilt ridden) and merlin (protector of pretty prat partner) have sad sex 😔🔥💔💋#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#fanfiction#fanfic#fic#merthur#uther pendragon#cw parental abuse

I didn't want to talk about MAWS Lois' hanbok any more than I already did in the Asian Lois essay, so this is more of a tiny expansion on what I lightly talked about. It's what the character designer said about her hanbok design that doesn't sit right with me:
“I remember feeling strongly about wanting to inject some aspect of her Korean heritage without disrupting her characteristic as a spunky and resourceful intern/reporter.”
I've covered already that this wording poorly implies that "Korean heritage" (like the whole thing I guess) is at odds with Lois’ "spunky" personality but like, I don't think folks realize how racist their line of thinking was. If you're looking at Korean women wearing traditional outfits like this:
and you think these women can't be "spunky" or "resourceful intern/reporter" people, then what does that leave? What do you think of these women? Are these women passive? Obedient? Submissive? Just because they're wearing traditional clothes? I think back to this essay: Thinking outside the rainbow: women of color redefining queer politics and identity (which I recommend reading), and how the many queer Asian women talk about how they're not clocked as queer people because queer culture defaults to white queer culture.
The point being, if you're redesigning a "tomboy" "hanbok-inspired gala outfit" and you come in with the mindset that traditional Asian clothing = a passive woman, then you're coming in with racist and misogynist biases. I'd be more understanding if there was an explicit desire to design a hanbok for action heavy scenes where Lois needs to run around a lot, but then why say it "disrupts" a character's personality? Why bring personality up at all?
Again, I don't think the MAWS crew are racist mustache twirling villains with malicious intent to make racist caricatures of people of color. But this is a crew that wrote in character design notes for Vicki Vale to design her as "Indian-American or Asian American" (implying Indian people are not Asian when they are in fact South Asian), and casted a Filipino actor as Sam Lane (a contextually Korean character, because the crew think Asians are interchangeable), lazily designed a Native American Lois hologram with a feather on her head and ended S1 on Thanksgiving, made an in-show joke at Black Jimmy's expense that he doesn't understand bigotry, and had character designers say Korean Heritage "disrupts" Lois' personality. No, I don't think the MAWS crew are racist. I do think they're woefully ignorant about portraying people of color, and have some internalized biases to think through. All of which rightfully deserve criticism.
#ramblings#jesncin talks maws#jesncin dc meta#media criticism#obvs I have a lot of Big Feelings on Cultural Nonconformity- putting a lot of thought into designing traditional outfits for queer ppl#Lunar Boy was a big expression of how queerness can look like a lot of things and that it's not antithetical to culture#so when I heard this show was gonna do something similar I was so excited. very disappointed in the end result#i have trans masc/enby friends who wear traditional outfits. asian culture is only limiting if u stereotype it

Testing smth mmhnnmnmnnmmm *animation noises*
#i will use these tags as an opportunity to ramble abt procreate dreams because it’s just NOT it#as someone who has been used to procreate for like 4 years now when i say i was disappointed at how much they took away in dreams i just#head in hands#of course the actual animation stuff is cool. and bigger canvases layers n all that#but it’s not the same. there’s not even a way to select and move stuff#(at least i haven’t seen it yet)#this has resulted in me still having to do animation on normal procreate which is fine#but yk. i’d love to do animatics n stuff. but i can’t#i know it’s not meant to be the same but the way i saw it being advertised it was literally just procreate#but more specialised on animation#which ig it is but it’s just not close enough to normal procreate for me to be very comfortable with it#anyways yeah animation or smth is. a thing.#let’s hope i can finish this lol#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago lloyd#ninjago arin#tag ramble

He’s so t i n y
#This art is breaking my heart#You can FEEL the weight on his shoulders#You can feel his resentment. His fear. Anxiety. Hatred. Sadness. Disappointment. Sorrow#Because everything Bruce -HIS FATHER- did to him would result in all of these feelings#Trying to ignore Gotham War and just focus on the cute tiny guy sitting on the chair#but his body language just screams WRONG#He has been so wronged by the man who was supposed to love him#jason todd#red hood#batfamily#batfam#dc#dc comics

Oh, Hawke, one day you'll succeed in defeating a big bad villain for good. ("But wait," you say, "What about the Arishok? He died, surely?" Lies and slander. One day Hawke will succeed…)
We are eagerly awaiting the dignified return of the Arishok over at Patreon and society6. He'll be back any day now.
#champions and heroes#Dragon Age 2#Hawke#Corypheus#Meredith Stannard#no Sten being the new Arishok doesn't count#I want THAT one#the one who used Hawke as a stress toy#don't try to give me a new one and just name him the same thing#it won't work Bioware#it will be just as effective as Hawke is#that is to say it would be a lot of energy wasted for disappointing results

small but favorite Rana (slash Neve slash Neve/Rana) moment #2 - after Knight-Commander Lennos lets Bataris walk because Bataris' magister father bought him off, they both glare after him for a moment before Rana turns to Neve and promises, "I'll find a way to fix this."
Which I find a) hot and b) an impactful way to phrase it. It's not just "I'll fix this" but "I'll find a way to fix this". It makes the promise not about the fixing, but about the finding of a way - it's a vow of effort and commitment, despite expected challenges, not just guaranteeing a result...
Something that Neve would feel conflicted about, because at this point in the story, she doesn't trust that people will follow through on the good they promise to do [for her]. She knows that good intentions don't always mean a person will show up [for her!] when it counts.
So I find it Interesting TM that this promise and the lingering shot of Rana walking away are delivered through this over-the-shoulder angle, hiding Neve's reaction while also inviting the player to see Rana from her point of view and also wonder: will Rana follow through after all, or will she, like Lennos, turn her back on not only Minrathous, but Neve herself?
#by Interesting TM I do mean homosexual among other things#tangential but:#in Tevinter Nights Rana does fail to show up for Neve when she needs her#Neve approaches Rana for help hoping that she'll eschew her orders to do the right thing and support her#and is disappointed when Rana balks#and as a result Neve is nearly killed by Aelia#but at the 11th hour Rana does show up and with help in tow#winning the day after all#I don't necessarily think that Rana is *thee* person who hurt Neve so much that she's Like That in her romance#but I would expect that this adds to the tension between them to this day#rana savas#neve gallus#neve x rana#dragon age#veilguard spoilers

this might be a hot take and i might not be remembering much, but i feel like amity and willow should've been the "we're cordial and get along for the sake of the people we mutually care about" or "friend of a friend" dynamic instead of what the canon gave us.
#the owl house#toh#toh salt#idk#i love lumity but i feel like the show put too much focus on it#resulting in amity not having proper development and leaving a lot of things unfinished or put aside too quickly#and i feel like willow and gus having no apprehension with her made no sense and felt like the show kinda#made it so everyone understood her the way luz did?#i was so confused when amity just barged into willow's house in s2 like WHAT THE FUCK WHO ARE YOU-#i think there might've been a lot of restrictions and having to cut off a lot of things maybe but it's just disappointing#whenever i think about amity and willow#i just never thought of them becoming friends again

to be honest i have mixed feelings on the idea of the freedom fighters ever coming back . because yeah i like them and i wouldnt mind getting to see them again. but the version of the sonic world theyre associated with is so different from the games that i feel like they cant just be thrown into the games or idw sonic with no changes. like maybe they could be introduced as a separate branch of the restoration or something but i feel like the group dynamic would be a bit different from before considering in every continuity theyre in sonic and tails are part of the freedom fighters too and have known those guys forever. or maybe they could just pretend theyre old friends of sonics who have been here the whole time and just havent shown up onscreen before but personally i dont really like that idea and cant put into words why. idk
#also as much as i like the freedom fighters i find it kinda silly when people act like theyre these super obscure forgotten characters#who dont have much content#like archie sonic was long as hell and the freedom fighters were also in one of the tv shows . no shortage of content there#and sure the freedom fighters may not be the Most popular characters in the sonic fandom but theyre still pretty well liked#sally especially i see a lot of fanart of going around#also bugs me when people talk like sega abandoned the freedom fighters or replaced sally with amy or whatever#i feel like people saying stuff like that were kids in the 90s who had the comics and cartoons as their main/only exposure to sonic#which is fine . and its also fine to be disappointed that these characters arent used anymore#but i feel like as a result of that some of those people dont really get that the freedom fighters werent part of game lore#and its not that sega abandoned them its that they never really used them to begin with#i mean i cant blame people for getting confused because wasnt amy referred to as sally in old sonic cd manuals. idk why they did that#anyway speaking of the amy vs sally stuff. they were created around the same time forcompletely different areas of the franchise#and their actual personalities and roles theyre meant to fill are pretty different . no amy wasnt made to replace sally#they literally only get compared because theyre both girls who like sonic .#and because again some of these people dont really get that sally wasnt in the games ever

I thought I was being deceived by ao3 when searching for Yu Yu Hakusho fics on there. They initially told me that there were absolutely none, but I searched it again and promptly found out there are 4341 works. I feel a bit stupid now.
#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#yyh#yu yu hakusho#seriously though i was feeling very much disappointed until i was proven wrong#i initially used ctrl + f#but i've found that using the actual search bar gives me more results#maybe that's a me problem#or my ancient chromebook's fault#who knows#oversharing about trivial things challenge...GO!

Kirk: *clueless and unable to read a paper map because he’s from space*
La’an: *sighs* give it. (I don’t care you’re a captain and I’m just a lieutenant, I’m gonna boss you around)
is such a great dynamic. Can it be like that pls?
(McCoy and Spock would just let him figure it out you know)
#i wanna know how old kirk is. if la'an is five years older here or if they're around the same age#kirk needs a woman to boss him around#snw nonsense#kirk x la'an#ka'an#snw spoilers#i don't care for any other episode in this season. i just want this one not to disappoint#(i mean i have no idea what other episodes are about lol)#i only spoiled summaries for myself for the first three. after that? idk what's in store and which scenes in trailers belong where#jim kirk#la'an noonien singh#i've frequently found that interviews and whatevers are always misleading. occasionally pandering. and the end result is always different#so i don't read interviews#i read one related to s2 and the guy who's in charge said the cage was still to happen so i'm never reading another interview lol#by anyone
