why is it always my splatoon art being stolen bruhh, just had to deal with an ig account who was getting 5 times the attention off of my stuff

hell even before the game released a random game news site used my first ever deep cut drawing as if it was a game asset, atleast it just took 1 email to make them take it down

#pada speak #yeah i wanna ramble idk man its tiring #im not even a big account and i have to deal with all this #for the love of god asking exists #you can ask #theres so many people who are more than happy to let you share their work #but you need to ASK #not just assume #cause if they dont allow it they have a damn legal case against you

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

y'all go from being feminists to tearing these women down within seconds oh my god it's 2024 can we please stop viciously tearing one woman down to bring another up i don't care what side you take but saying vile shit about either woman and their music is disgusting, please grow up

#seperate the art from the artist please oh my god #for the record i like both billie and taylor #the variants being a major thing but i know thats not to hurt billie like yall say its it's to get more money (which she doesn't need????)#like let people have opinions oh my god its not that deep #and some of yall (not naming names yk who you are) went from loving billies new album to saying the most vile shit within a second which is #+shallow as fuck please learn to separate the art from the artist #you're allowed to dislike someones music but dragging them down as a person is shameful and not something to be proud of #and some of the shit ive seen said recently is disgusting please think before you speak #and ill be honest the swifties are saying most of the horrible stuff #i love taylor as much as you guys but it is not an excuse to say disgusting shit about other women please find something better to do+#+with your time #most of my mutuals are swifties but tbh if youre offended by me saying not to drag women down then i don't want you following me anyways #luc posts #billie eilish #taylor swift #i will not rant about my hatred for the variants and consumerism thats a post for another day #also have yall considered that this whole argument thing is pr so they can both get more streams. bc uh that was my first thought ngl #edit like 10 minutes later: i read an article and yall are blowing shit out of proportion it is literally not that deep omg

Understated potential Chaggily dynamic: Emily being the emotional support dog to Charlie and Vaggie’s anxious cheetah energy when it comes to anything Heaven related.

#chaggily #hazbin hotel #like hear me out #realistically speaking Emily will not be allowed into Hell #Sera would sooner die than let her anywhere near Hell even with Charlie swearing up and down she’ll be fine #so Charlie and Vaggie make regular trips to Heaven instead to negotiate and see Pentious which is great #but also super nerve wracking for both of them for a variety of reasons #and then there’s Emily who is just. zen #there is a problem and they have to work together to achieve it and she’s more than happy to make Charlie and Vaggie both comfortable #everyone deserves to be in Heaven and she has a spray bottle for anyone who says otherwise #looking at you Lute

christian knows jack is autistic but never let him get diagnosed because 1. he's ableist and 2. autistic people aren't allowed to to enter any medical field. yes, you read that right. yes, still to this day

#christian went one further and never let jack know. because of the Shame. and denial. and disgust #lost headcanons #and its educational #there are autistic people in medical and mental health fields! they're undiagnosed #i had a team of people assessing me when i got diagnosed #neurologists and psychologists #three of 'em were autistic. one was neurotypical #you could tell the neurotypical one because she was the one who didn't speak directly to me at any point. she only spoke to my mum #the other three. the autistic ones. treated me like. a human being #anyways my mum was/is autistic. but she never got diagnosed #because officially she was my carer. and if she got diagnosed she would have lost that title #and therefore lost her carers allowance :/#its fucked up isnt it? personally i think the medical field could do with more autistic people #i mean it already HAS but i mean. more. and people who can open about it without losing their damn jobs

i can fix her (writing because she's the main love interest that exists as a reward for the shounen protagonist so the author didn't even bother making her relevant outside of it)

#sasagawa kyouko #inoue orihime #'oh but orihime actually--' no dont let the shipping goggles blind you #post hueco mundo arc she was basically reduced to a prize #the only other character who got it worse was chad #yarra speaks #addendum #rukia also loses relevance after soul society arc #shes not allowed to win important battles without byakuya saving her #so if SHE became the end game wife #it wont be any better because tite kubo cant write romance OR women #chad is eligible as ichigo's love interest because he got even worse treatment than the two main girls

how was the 13th doctor robbed ?

Well. This is gonna be a long one anon.

For starters, she had a shorter episode count for each of her series (two consisting of 10 episodes, her last only had 6!!! SIX!!! and even with the ending specials that's 3 more, but they did not deal with the third season much at all. That story barely had anything.) Each season since the start of NuWho has been 13 episodes plus Christmas specials, give or take extra specials depending. (10th Doctor had FOUR extra specials after the end of his last season. Plus he showed up in Day of the Doctor, so he's been extra spoiled). Just think of how much more could have been done with more episodes!

She was also robbed of the traditional Christmas specials, which was a staple of EVERY NuWho season before her, and GUESS WHO GOT ONE RIGHT AWAY when RTD came back? (13 got a couple New Years specials which are fine, but she will be the ONLY multi season NuWho Doctor to not have a Christmas special, and that's just wrong. The Christmas specials are iconic and holiday time classics and always focus on familial bonds the Doctor makes and 13 is missing that).

The 13th Doctor's tenure also had to endure COVID, which isn't on the BBC or the showrunners obv, but it still detracts from what she could have had that the past Doctors had and what the future Doctors will have.

The 10th and 11th Doctors particularly had oodles of extra content like shorts and mini features that was nowhere to be found for the 13th Doctor. (In fairness, 12 didn't get as many extra bonus things also, but 12 had full seasons and Christmas specials, including one of the best ones with River Song).

And one of the most egregious forms of theft was from Jodie Whittaker herself. She is an incredible actress and she was hardly given the space to fully go as hard as she could. If you've ever seen the Antigone performance she gives...it's stunning. Legendary. Raw. She is a brilliant actress so she was able to bring some of that into certain moments of the 13th doctor's tenure, but there are painfully few epic moments of 13 in the same way there are so many of the 10th, 11th, and 12th doctors.

Also she was robbed, again with the shorter episode count, of breathing room and development with her companions. Short season runs (10 or less episodes) are So So Lean, and they really hurt so much not just from Doctor Who but the Netflix ATLA, Percy Jackson, Marvel and Star Wars shows, etc. We could have had more development time with Yaz, especially with her feelings toward 13, have them properly shown a lot more, rather than having Mandip and Jodie carrying everything on their backs with little add ins and crumbs. Plus Graham and Ryan! And poor Dan got shafted as the new Flux companion. He got so much less time to really get fleshed out and form a bond with 13. The show even makes a point of that! He's closer to Yaz than anyone.

And 13 was also robbed of one of the most important things of all: passing on her wardrobe to the next doctor.

RTD can say what he likes but he was a coward and an asshole for not having David wear Jodie's costume. He can't in one breath claim to be treading lightly about crossdressing to be respectful (when it's Perfectly Fine to have the POC male villain rock the wardrobe not a half hour before, weird) and in the same breath have Rose Noble's deadname used multiple times in the first TenThree special.

Apologies about the ramble, anon, but more or less, those are many of the reasons why I feel 13 has been robbed in ways her predecessors and her successors were/are not. (I've said these things before and I have said them again, and I'll probably keep saying them.) I genuinely hope this helps you understand some of the lingering feelings of disappointment.

#ask a flower nerd #answered ask #anon #anonymous #doctor who #13th doctor #thirteenth doctor #actors #jodie Whittaker #comparatively speaking aside from eccleston she's had the shortest tenure as the doctor and she's also been the most risky and different.#i have so many feelings on this anon you have no idea #just look at my posts on doctor who and you'll see how much ive agonized over these thinge #but i digress. hopefully this sheds light for anyone curious #10th doctor #tenth doctor #rtd #Russell t Davies #i don't think I'll ever let go of the outfit thing tbh #it's the stupidest hill for rtd to die on and he did. and it bothers me to no end. and there's no reason for it in universe.#Jodie's allowed to wear Peter Capaldi's outfit just fine and Sacha can wear Jodie's outfit but no not David he can't wear the very nb outfit

hey folks did you know i love super dangan ronpa 2

#marzi speaks #thinking abt the themes in that story #ESPECIALLY the letting other people’s perceptions dictate who you are vs choosing who you are for yourself and not letting anyone stop you #like almost every single one of the sdr2 cast has a front they put on/identity they’re ‘supposed’ to be vs who they truly are #komaeda’s i could write an essay on so we’re gonna skip him bc. energy #hajime’s is obvious. i don’t need to explain that one. though he tries really hard to come off as more masculine as well which. augh #speaking of masculine souda is a victim of toxic masculinity. he was bullied and had a dad who sucked so he changed himself to look fiercer #ibuki left her band due to ‘creative differences’- she didn’t fit into that classic pop band mold and she allowed herself to deviate #mahiru puts extra pressure on men around her bc Her Dad Also Sucked and she’s sick of having to deal with weaponized incompetence #gundham is this sweet kind kind boy who hides it all underneath a veil of darkness. the darkness is not a lie either though he is both #sonia. literally a princess. has huge shoes to fill. in reality she’s a horror fiend who just wants to nerd out abt true crime #nekomaru’s heart condition would have taken him out of sports forever but he found another way and started team managing instead #fuyuhiko is set up to be the next head of the kuzuryu clan but on the inside he is so compassionate (and canonically a prude lmao)#peko is literally raised as a tool and tries to embrace this role even though the one she works for just wants her to be herself #i haven’t seen hiyoko’s ftes but i imagine she’d be far less cruel if she didn’t have to deal with constant infantilization and perverts #twogami just. as a whole. the whole character. yeah #there’s for sure more but i haven’t seen everyone’s ftes so. yanno #like fuck !!!!!! people will always have a perception of what they think you should be but you cannot truly be happy #until you allow yourself to disregard those expectations and forge your own path instead !!!! fuck !!!!!

Thinking about Cletus having some kind of survivor's guilt after the whole trilogy

#talkin #Because like. It seems like he knows him Argus and Rufus are all the same clones of the alpha generation #I'll assume as much for this at least #So imagine you have two people left in your generator. Two “brothers” so to speak and they both die #One sacrifices himself for Cletus to survive and the other gets torn to shreds by the propeller they were all stuck in #He's Watching all of it too #Sure he has the future of deponia and elysium resting on his shoulders now #But ALSO the two other people who were WAY MORE QUALIFIED to save said future are dead now. All so he could live #Do you think he lies awake at night thinking about it. I do #And also also also i bet Goal feels a lot of guilt for her part in all of this. She's caused plenty of trouble too after all #Imagining that the shared survivor's guilt allows Goal and Cletus to properly bond #And for that to end up being the thing that lets their marriage finally work #With some proper therapy that is #Deponia #Can anyone hear me is anyone there

pop stars aren't born in the 70s anymore like they used to be. These days they're born in a year uncomfortably close to my own which makes me clutch my chest and cry out

#music #musicians #Nia Archives was on radio the other day going 'my album's the first jungle album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize in over 25 years #that's such an honour! The last one was Roni Size and I wasn't even born then' --hang on a minute #that album was like. 1997. 'I wasn't even born yet'?#Folks she is a year older than me 😭(❤️ but also personally 😒)#Cat Burns' Mercury shortlisted album is called 'early twenties'. It is a term I am told I can no longer use for myself.#She says 'the album was a 4-year long process. I started writing it when I was 20.' Cat Burns is my age.#CMAT. Dublin's 'global superstar'. 1997. Literally she's such a classic popstar/country star I'd have expected to read like '1987' or somet #not in terms of saying she's old or anything; just that that seems appropriate for someone who's in control of their career #CMAT is like 2 years older than I am. It's so wild to me #especially this time! There have been a lot of debut albums you see #and I'm really proud of all these--I suppose at my age I'm allowed to say--kids; my peers? But it's also so strange to see #My peers are at the Mercuries. Declan McKenna is like a year older than me #That has been in my head ever since Brazil came out. He was 15. I was 14.#sigh it's a long road to either acceptance or such radical change that I 'catch up' with everyone; whatever that means #yes I'm well aware that comparison isn't a thing to do. I know it's not productive.#I try not to let it get me anxious; afterall what do I do about it?#It's not like I've got the ball rolling on anything significant to speak of. I'm just at ordinary work #idk also the industry I work in doesn't exist anymore hahahaaaa so yeah. No career. Only far away admirations! :)#We will have no infrastructure and we will be happy.#Don't read all this; just laugh at the meme about age and move on #growing up

so many young women recently desiring to be stay at home mothers….the ironic part of it is that all of those women that do become stay at home moms will one day understand why the women before them fought so hard for them to not have to fulfill that role at the point at which they realize that their personhood has been entirely sacrificed in the name of motherhood & there is no going back on that. all women who are stay at home moms are forced to put themselves aside to take care of their children and husband & are forced to make that their entire identity & that is exhausting and dehumanizing. that is how betty friedan started second wave feminism w the feminine mystique. bc women finally realized that all women hated being housewives & there wasn’t smth wrong w each of them individually as they had all believed. but those that do not learn history etc etc……

#michelle speaks #being a stay at home mom is not sustainable for women in our society for a million reasons #& yet some women refuse to see that just to live out a fantasy they were sold as young girls #& for many of them i cannot blame them bc they r forced into it before they have the ability to really learn that there r other options #but for the women who r in a position where they can actively choose how to live their lives #that they would choose to be stay at home moms despite the insanely oppressive nature of it 😩#the thing is that YES there is an issue of women being forced to do economic labor & then come home & do the same amount of domestic labor #so now women r expected to do double the work right. however i want to propose a solution to this that might be crazy #women CAN & SHOULD set higher standards for men. do not marry a man that expects u to mother him. do not let him get away w slacking.#& yes that can be easier said than done. but my point being that setting higher standards for men while having independence that can allow #u to leave said man if need be is ALWAYS going to be the superior option to being entirely dependent on that man #listen i am DEEP on my sleep medication idk if anything i said made sense��.#this woman on bb was like if i have 2 kids i’m not working i’ll br at home & i was like GIRL???? IN 2024???????#women should aspire to be so much more than someone’s mom…….u r a whole person w/o that.#this is mot to say that there’s anything wrong w wanting to be a mom it is abt women wanting it to be their whole identity #also this other woman keeps being like my husband LET ME be on the show girl he LET YOU???? IN 2024?????????????

#shhh b #(long-ish anxiety talk in the following tags because tags feel like whispering to myself. i love you tumblr tags you're so safe)#if i seem quiet or absent or awkward here and/or anywhere else it's bc i'm currently very painfully stuck #trying to get out of a several weeks-long massive social anxiety/anxiety spiral and it's tough in how it gets harder in waves #trying to get better! but *softly* fuck. who let emotions feel so physical. what do you mean your own mind can near-physically restrain you #me: 'i need reassurance i am Accepted to exist in shared spaces. i am trying to find a way to ask for it bc nobody will know unless i speak #anxiety brain: 'ok but asking others for it will infringe on Social Rules and make you Unacceptable to exist in shared spaces.#'in the meantime i will skew your perception of everything and everybody around you to look like you are Not Wanted. good luck!'#*muttering to myself* people are inherently kind people are inherently understanding people lead complex lives and give each other space #i am allowed to be i am allowed to take up space i am allowed i am allowed i am allowed

The idea that a god-like character with (supposedly) unlimited powers should snap their fingers at the end of a TV series and remove all pain and terrible things in the world so humans no longer had any suffering is the most BAFFLING thing I have ever heard. WHY DID THE SHOW EVER EXIST IF FIXING THINGS WAS THAT EASY??????

#It seems like this 'gotcha' card that overrides any argument someone could have #but it's actually the laziest zero thought behind it belief I have ever seen #And it complete ignores the function and structure of a story #Holy shit #Like... that's literally Adam and Eve before Eve ate the apple #That kind of utopia is literally in the Bible and in general is considered bad #It was certainly painted as bad in the show! Because Eve gave us free will and choice and the opportunity to self-determine who we are #And that's good! That's considered better than the Garden of Eden!#And yes choices have led to the godawful structures in place on Earth today and all the godawful death and suffering that goes with it #BUT THIS STUPID LITTLE TV SHOW ABOUT THE DEVIL WASN'T SPEAKING ABOUT ALL THE EVILS IN THE WORLD!!!#It was talking about how you always have a choice to do better! That everyone can be redeemed!#It's a much MUCH narrower scope because that's what story does! It picks one thing and speaks to it #And sometimes that thing is indeed Wow modern capitalism has completely fucked the world like The Good Place showed #But even The Good Place didn't use the Judge to snap her fingers and change Earth #She could have! She certainly had the power too!#But no instead they argued against wiping out the entire Earth and starting over in favor of revamping the afterlife instead #to allow people a second chance and support to do better #Which is EXACTLY where Lucifer ended up too with the titular character playing therapist in Hell #That is a strong ending! That is a hopeful ending! Because it's speaking to the audience as individuals and saying you have a choice #You always have a choice to do better. No mistake you make is too irredeemable so don't let yourself drown guilt #because guilt fixes nothing. Only your choice to try again can change things #God snapping their fingers and rewriting Earth is not a hopeful; realistic; or satisfying ending to a 6 season show about free will!#It makes no sense!#like jfc I don't want to drag one singular person through the mud but their opinions are just so mind-boggingly to me #It's like beating my head against the wall

frightmare: your muse has the ability to go into other muse’s dreams for 3 days

Panicked Kisara ran, faceless figures chasing after her.

'You can't hide forever, girl."

"Hand over the White Dragon,"

Nightmares were hardly new but something, something about this was so different like there was a part of her that actually knew it was a dream and yet she couldn't stop running.

At least not until she found herself faced with.. a door? That was strange, even for a dream. Kisara spent little time thinking or caring about the logic or reasoning only seeing it as an escape flinging it open she ran through the door and quickly closed hoping to leave her pursuers behind....

#Dreamwalker; m!a #alright #on one hand you have a shockingly sweet and innocent child who certainly doesn't intend on harming anyone #on the other hand she definitely has 0 clue on how to control it or where she goes soooo #and I am open for both fluff and angst content (with acceptable reason as she is a kid but you know stuff happens and dreams are wild so)#(she is allowed to get injured tho I don't have an issue with that- again within some reason you know but generally speaking)#let's gooooooooo #send asks write up starters whatever
