#why not go read those instead

A lot of discussion lately about whether or not jason fans hallucinated a character who cares about his community (the ‘protects women and kids’ thing), but i think that’s doing us a disservice and frankly letting DC off the hook.
Its not unreasonable to dislike that DC consistently makes the kid with the poorest background the most violent and selfish. (And the second poorest, Steph, the most incompetent).
Its not wild to extrapolate that someone who was first characterised as being Too Upset About Rape Victims and later characterised as prepared to take action where others won’t, could be getting involved in that kind of work.
It’s not crazy fans being blind to canon when we don’t want the sole voice of reason on the subject of community support to be the benevolent billionaire.
It’s not delusional behaviour to make fanworks where the guy heavily implied to be a child victim of sexual assault takes on responsibility for other victims.
Is that what DC gave us? No, they didn’t bother to address it.
#jason todd#dc#red hood#batman#bruce wayne#if that upsets you then don’t worry!#there are a hundred years of comics#in which the billionaire with no skin in the game#is the only one allowed to be correct or compassionate or proactive.#why not go read those instead#and if you’re upset that fans don’t care enough about leslie or helena#dc doesn’t care about your characters either#i don’t know why you’re mad at us

Wuthering Waves has taken over all of my free time recently, so here's a sketch of Scar!Ren I originally shared in da 14DWY Discord!!
#14 days with you#to be tagged later#Sometimes a team is just Sephiroth; some random flower girl; and a dragoon from FFXIV#Like....... Look me in my eyes and tell me that one of Jiyan's abilities isn't just stardiver /silly#Anyways!! Sharing dis on my main only because it's just a sketch and doesn't feel ''official'' enough for da 14DWY blog#If I come back to this piece + retouch/put more effort into it maybe I'll reupload it there instead#But ya!! Any inconsistencies in Scar's outfit is because I was too busy staring at Taoqi <3#There was also absolutely no rhyme or reason as to why I drew Ren as Scar specifically too—#—Other than the fact that he WOULD rock da onigiri strip (RIP T_T) /ij /silly#Plus I was going to draw [REDACTED] as (WUWA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!) Geshu but?? Babes I don't think the timeline works out??#I really saw the marks in the same spot and was like “oh!! they're the same person :3” LIKE GIRL NO?? This is what happens when you skip cs#Geshu is still my number 1 next to Taoqi though (in terms of design) <3 I have a type teehee#Mayhaps I will draw [REDACTED] after all...... (It's currently 3pm and I'm nowhere near my tablet)#Also also!! A treat for those who've read this far: Day 3.5 will be made public very soon!! It's pride month n I wanna celebrate—#—With everyone's fave demi/pansexual enby (who sometimes does a bit of stalking) (as a treat) (he's a yandere)#Violet's birthday is also June 10!! Early birthday gift!! Yippeee!!#Ok I'll shuddup now <3

#fucking hell bro#those fuckers won’t get out my head for like two seconds#i was just about to go to bed (right after working on my charles edit)#and then i thought it better if i stayed up instead to read some ao3#i have to be up tomorrow at 6#why do i do this to myself#edwin payne get out of my head#dead boy detectives#dbda#edwin payne#charles rowland#payneland#dead boy detective agency#dead boy detective netflix#not-the-living-ghost

snoopy blue-eyed person stare
Snoopy #87
27/12/2024
#peanuts#snoopy#art#87#those aren't stink lines that's his AURA okay?#i don't think snoopy actually has blue eyes because he is a beagle which is a brown eyed dog#anyway why is this kinda... jack zimmermann (and alicia). like omgggg this beagle is a stanley cup champion?! go falcs??????#this is like that one ep of phineas and ferb when candace ended up in perry's body and to show that it was candace they gave it her eyes#so it was like a perry body with candace eyes. this is like if snoopy and jack zimmermann did a bodyswap and to show this to the audience#i gave snoopy jack's eyes. or really insert-your-fave-blue-eyes-person-or-character-here's eyes. boone from lost/phil lester/saoirse ronan#actually i think this is a common visual trope that happens in many things not just pnf#also sorry if this is a microaggression against blue eyed people. love you all really <3#but i was thinking of ian somerhalder and siberian huskies and that one drawing/meme of the blue eyed person stare#u know. the one with the smirk and the crossed arms#tbh i've been obsessively working on something else so not much time for drawing :(#anyway....... if you've ever thought about making a bodice block. don't. pick up a different hobby instead.#and if anyone knows how to reduce the width of a dart in a sewing pattern please please pleaseeee let me know how LOL (crying)#i don't think these tags ever appeal to anyone else but also who reads this far? this is my diary now.

my new favorite kind of amazon review is people who bought manga but don't know what manga is
#not comix#i thought we were past the need for those STOP! THIS IS THE BACK OF THE BOOK! YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SPOIL A GREAT ENDING warnings#but i guess not?#one time i got the reverse of this and someone was like ''aren't those supposed to be backwards??'' when i was reading a LN#then like two words into my answer she was super obviously checked out of the conversation#why do people do that? why go up to someone and ask them something if you're just gonna get annoyed at them for answering?#rude af. i hate people. which is why instead of talking to them i prefer to spend my time looking at amazon reviews for fun

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc
#damian wayne#damian al ghul#damian al ghul wayne#batman#batfamily#for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them#btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done#has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world.#it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something#like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more#three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale#so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point.#I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series.#I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get#hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at.#I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas#where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing#for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good#it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series.#and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well.#instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character#I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay#tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money.#I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip.#it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT#of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well.#and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave#and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him.#I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim#is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

#kirby#meta knight#galacta knight#fanart#hoshi no kaabii#krbay#iyd spoilers#IYD#ms paint#arttag#galadoodles#ok most of them are doodles. the strawberry and blueberry drawings started as a ''haha its meta and galacta :)''#but at one point it turned into rendering practice#idk what happened#kirby fanart#id included#i've been wanting to show off those stupid fruits for so long. i spent an entire morning on the strawberry alone#i was literally about to post this when my blog got put in jail#one second my icon was normal. i refresh the page and boom#he's gone#anyway. go read wishful thinking and in your dreams <3333333#edit: it's almost midnight and i just realised i wrote heavily instead of highly..... this is why we don't make drafts at 3 am#uhm anyway. fun fact. i wanted to draw the thats paint asshole meme but i was tired#so i put the images og GK and MK there as placeholders#but in the end i got too lzy to like. actually draw it lol

everything abt the httyd remake feels like such a deep insult to the first film. Insulting animation as an artform, insulting the texture and lighting work that still holds up so so well. Insulting everything they put in to make it such a tightly written and skillful film. Like what could you improve with this scene, the amount of character you get from toothless here and seeing his thought process, fhe mix of accepting his fate, weariness and curiosity, you're just sucking the life and intention out of it for what. To see the dirt in between toothless's scales? Guess what you can already see that in the first movie. To flatten the lighting, remove all mood so you can see how good they modeled his new scales? Show you how real the mulch looks. Whatever. They do this all the time but this is personal (autism) you're being shown up by a film from 2010. She is eating you ALIVE. Even the other httyd films couldn't quite re-capture what they did with toothless in this first one, they remodeled him ever so slightly and he lost that edge of intelligent Animal, and became a Slightly more condensed version of himself now that his personality was established.
#i can see his tear duct i can see inside his nose i can see the where his#bigger scales thin out into softer ones#even the choice to make his eye colour such a loud green instead of the paler one#it's like yes that's an eye that's a HD eye texture i know i get it#it looks realer in the first shot. like everything else#like i was a dragon obsessed kid when this came out i was eating up every detail#you can see those subtle mottled patterns across toothless in certain light#when he's abt to attack stoic you can see the methane gas building in his throat first#for the sake of grounding these designs they incorporated Every detail you could ask for#literally the only thing that wasn't realistic is when toothless is stuck in the gorge and needs to rescue hiccup#and he clings to the edge of the caldera and his Claw the nail of his claw changes shape to be more hooked to get a better grip#that's it and we get why that happens for the scene it's good#DISCRETION. you need doscretion every shot can't be a vfx showcase#environmental lighting is always going to obscure some detail it's going to react differently it looks so fake because nothing is being#obscured or effected by their environment#the way the shadows react to toothles in the first shot gives such a good sense of his form. it makes it moody#it makes it feel colder and the shadows on his face help obscure his mouth making him harder to read. okay#can anypony hear me#what's wrong with you

Greetings SAGAU community! Today, I bring you this dumb meme I made. Enjoy!
How Chapter 13 of Messianic Aureation Should've Went (Spoilers):
(This was funnier in my head)
Cara & Messianic Aureation belongs to @isshua
Imaginative Depictions of Cara
Read chapter one here!
Cyno here: The joke is that Cara (the person in the cat suit) brought a cat suit made with cat hair to a fight with Venti. Venti is canonically allergic to cats. Therefore, Cara would defeat Venti without issue.
OG Meme by ProZD
Buy me a ko-fi, perhaps?
#sagau impostor au#sagau#self aware Genshin#I don’t do backgrounds those take too long#genshin sagau#I’m allowed to be silly sometimes#don't ask me why they're fighting#instead go read the fic I recommend it

i read you talking about di fics earlier- any recommendations? preferably nothing nsfw (got nothing against that sort of fic ofc- im just apothisexual lmao)
Well........................................... All I have are horny DI Sol fics........................ I'm sorry.............................................................................................
I guess... Maybe my own fic, Interlude, technically counts...? It's largely pre-limiter, post-GG Begin Frederick so he's red and beastly for about 80% of what I've written so far: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44354353/chapters/111548716
Other than that, all the other ones I've read (or written) he's got his weenie out... Forgive me..........
#asks#I don't actually read a lot of fanfic to be honest...#A lot of what's in my Neocities archive at the moment were either sent to me or I found them while deep diving for other stuff 😔#There's actually no reason why I haven't read more fics tbh#I guess maybe because I have a huge IRL collection of books so I just don't think to go looking for some when I want to read#That said from what I *have* seen while looking for GG fics I haven't noticed very many with a focus on DI Sol specifically#(unless it's nsfw/terato rofl)#Like fics will have a DI Sol moment but as like a brief combat detail or something along those lines#I haven't browsed AO3 in a really long time though so it's possible I've since missed some#Especially since I don't think there's a way to search for DI Sol instead of just Sol/Frederick as a whole?#Idk haha

i don’t understand why people hate gale.
“he’s annoying” or “he talks too much” or “he’s too clingy and got offended when i was in a relationship” (which was a BUG, it takes two seconds to do some research before jumping to conclusions) are the most stupid reasons to actually hate a character.
he’s the one that has the warmest personality when you first meet him as well, so i just don’t get it?? i’m not saying you’re not allowed to dislike him, and this doesn’t apply to everyone, but SOMETIMES it feels like people just hop on a “hate bandwagon” because i see so many comments (especially on tiktok… where most of the people only started playing because it’s “trendy” now) about him that are the exact same as each other and it’s like people have lost the ability to think for themselves and form their own opinions after actually playing the game properly and learning about the characters.
so many people even go on about how it’s a turn off that he “doesn’t shut up about his ex”… like maybe actually continue playing the story to understand why it’s a significant conversation to have and why it’s a huge part of his character arc, and stop being weirdly bitter/jealous/annoyed when the man is also a VICTIM that has been manipulated and abused in a relationship with a massive power imbalance.
#gale#gale dekarios#baldur’s gate 3#bg3#the amount of people that have the audacity to pick up an extremely intense fantasy roleplaying game with ->#extremely deep and complex well-written characters but then don’t even bother TRYING to get to know them and ->#instead just reduce them to things they’re not is SO unbelievably frustrating#like if you’re going to be lazy why pick up the game#if you lack basic media literacy and don’t understand a single thing about character analysis why are you even bothering ->#to talk about the characters#sorry if that’s harsh but it’s exhausting#and fyi i’m specifically talking about toxic people who constantly hate on characters without understanding them#people are obviously allowed to dislike characters but when you’re spreading things that aren’t even true it’s wild#like how can you talk when you DO NOT UNDERSTAND#don’t even get me started on the literal BUG#people are out here saying gale is an obsessed creep that won’t leave you alone and it wasn’t even supposed to happen#and it’s not even just people who hate characters it’s also ones who are weirdly obsessed but still lack reading comprehension#cough those astarion fans that sexualise him and treat him like an object#do you even know how much his character would despise hearing you talk about him that way#like come on now#my posts

#me who should get to stuff texting some friends etc: why not read more books instead and unhealthily escape from reality :3#stress level is immensely high but also feeling guilty not replying to some friends. especially to those asking how I'm doing etc#but getting messages of#“I thought you were taking therapy shouldn't you be better by now” “we all feel bad sometimes” “depression actually isn't real”#ahaaha like What the fuck#it's so irritating and makes me edgy in a way that I seriously want to slap them with a book not going to lie#but I choose silence as usual and just let shit sink in#the problem is I tend to ignore other friends as well because can't be social anymore I'm just so Tired#tbd I think

btw todd’s reluctance to join the dps because he doesn’t want to read (which is then accommodated for) and is scared to put himself out there (which is also worked through) being read as todd not wanting to go AT ALL, and thus neil making the proper accommodations (“todd anderson, who prefers not to read, will keep the minutes of the meetings”) and encouraging him to step out of the box that stifles him being seen as ‘forceful’ or like he can’t take no for an answer makes me insane with rage
#and him trying to stop neil from asking if todd not reading at the meetings is okay isn’t him wanting not to go#its him not wanting neil to ask because (as someone with social anxiety) it’s EMBARRASSING ASF for someone to ask for things on your behalf#literally just think about it as the meme of ‘when i tell my friend im hungry and he tells his mom that *i* want food instead of both of us’#and the whole ‘neil not knowing how to take no for an answer’ thing…… dont get me fucking started#the kid who’s had to take no for an answer his whole life? the kid whose first proper scene IS him taking no for an answer? are you serious?#being encouraging and accommodating and (admittedly) a little pushy when he’s got his mind set on something—#—is NAWT the same as not being able to take no for an answer or bulldozing through conversations with people#he and todd DO listen to each other in those conversations theyre just on opposing sides—#—because their understandings of the world don’t fully align at that point in time/the movie#which is totally fucking normal?????? because later on they DO properly align?????????#i feel so crazy about this every time i see someone say todd didn’t want to go the dead poets meetings because it’s so obvious he DID#he was just scared#and you know what maybe it IS a little forceful#but given how dedicated todd is to shutting off and hating and isolating himself he NEEDS a little forceful to be broken through to#if no one ever pushed me to do things when i was scared (as irritated as it can make me) i’d never do SHIT dude#and obviously todd is the same way because he ALL BUT OUTRIGHT SAYS AS MUCH#‘i appreciate this concern but i’m not like you’ IS about neil’s voice and opinions mattering to people but it’s ALSO about—#—him being outgoing and trying new things and putting himself out there#WHICH TODD WANTS TO BE ABLE TO DO!!!!!!!!#the moral you take away from todds growth is NOT that he has to change to be accepted because he DOESNT#its that he has to gain the confidence and belief in himself to grow and become the version of himself he WANTS to be#he NEVER changes on a fundamental level to make others happy (although his growth does make others happy) he just opens up more#and i dont know WHY some people think his arc is becoming a completely different person#like yall PLEASE#this isnt even an anderperry thing this is an issue even if you read them completely platonic#i blame the FUCKASS novelization…. dps book you will always be hated by ME#dps#dead poets society#neil perry#todd anderson

Every now and then I see the discourse circulate on this hellsite, and I wonder if people know that the term 'yandere' used to have an extremely specific definition that no longer holds up to how people use it today
#I'm old enough to remember the original 'yangiri' discourse someone help me.#I don't have answers for this okay it's one of those things where if enough time and people change the definition of something there's not#much can be done about it. This isn't a call to action or anything. Just an old person talking from a rocking chair.#There's a reason I call what I write 'soft' but it's actually a lot closer to 'classic'.#Anyway that very specific original definition was something like: “so in love it made them sick”#Which often got interpreted as “insecure” or “overprotected” depending on the genre.#A big part of the ending would be either the yan killing themself; their competition; or -- and this is not a joke--#“true love would cure them”#(I don't like that one. I like it when the darling manipulates their yan but that's my personal predilection.)#You can see why some authors might play that for laughs instead of drama#in a uhhhhh sitcom-ish kind of way. Overbearing wife. Guard dog husband. Be careful. He bites.#Anyway the whole “yans hurting their darlings” wasn't unheard of but it wasn't common either? It was an outburst at the world#not an outburst at the love interest. Why won't they just let us be together? I'll make them! They can't get in between us!#At least hurting the darling wasn't the point. Yans aren't meant to be a 1 to 1 for being in an abusive relationship.#It's more about what if someone has too many emotions for one person and they're overflowing.#I dunno. Whenever I hear younger yan fans talk about it it's like “don't quote the scripture at me” kind of feeling#“That's not what yandere is” I was into yandere before you could read. Back when we had dial-up. Leave me alone in my retirement home.#And this is not a kink shaming thing if you're into the whole show of force because of whatever horror-based reason that's your thing#I get it. I really do. But this one is an actual rant about missing the point of the original text:#The whole thing about breaking legs to keep someone around actually meant something when it was a teenage girl trying to dominate a much#larger boy or man. When it's a man doing it to a girl it looses the meaning of the text. Like I get that for most people that's not what#they're going for. But the original usage was doing something. It was supposed to make the powerful feel powerless.#(and to remind people teenage girls are terrifying)

very genuinely, though, there was an extended period of my life in which I thought that boarding schools were not real and only existed in fantasy stories where magical children had to go to school.
#I... read a lot of british fantasy as a child#I didn't realize that 'boarding school' was an existing genre of british children's literature#and these fantasy books were just applying magic to them#but no like in witch week when they set the universe right#and all the kids lose their magic#and the school is a day school instead of a boarding school#I THOUGHT THOSE TWO FACTS WERE CONNECTED#like oh well only magical children go to boarding schools so obviously it's a real school like mine now#related: I also thought that madeline was an orphan#why else would she not be living with her family#I JUST DID NOT THINK BOARDING SCHOOLS EXISTED lmao
