#writers were doing

Hot Take:

I STILL don't hate Chloé Bourgeois as much as the show('s writers) wants us to.

It's not that I don't think a person as bad as intended can exist, but rather that the development into one wasn't handled the best way.

Shocking observation on my part, I know.

I just want to imagine what could have been. I wish that development took a different turn. I wish the writers put more thought into helping people/kids believe that everyone is worthy of second chance (and third, and fourth, and so on), rather than doing everything they could to turn her into the most irredeemable person on the planet.

Sure, make her irredeemable in the end. But make the heroes come out of that as the biggest people on the planet because they kept giving her love and support up until her very last breath, and have HER end up choosing not to be deserving of it.

Don't teach us to hate the people who hate us. We already treat most of our surroundings as undeserving of our love and we keep pushing them away - we need a new approach. Let the bad guys push themselves into the abyss.

And I'm not saying we shouldn't put a healthy distance between us and such people - but we need to keep in mind that we should NEVER, under any circumstance, think of someone as worthy only of a place in the trash bin. At worst, we should feel sorry about them.

Practice of this in real life is difficult, yes. But this is a cartoon character, and this is a kids' show. No, you are not protecting a kid by teaching them some people are beyond repair. You are making them lose faith in humanity by doing so. Who are we to say when a person has lost all hope for ever turning to the good side? None of us can read other people's hearts. And because of that, it is our DUTY to try everything in our power to bring them to the light. What is not in our power is whether they accept that help or not and we need to learn THAT. We need to learn to accept that some people will turn down all our extended hands, not that we should stop extending it at some point because we condemned them as unworthy.

Yes, it's important to know when to stop doing that in order to protect yourself. But not to lose faith.

And I think it would've been a 100 times more valuable to see her have a change of heart at some point because of this - maybe even at a time when nobody expects it - because it would send out this message.

Again, this is a show for KIDS. Grown-ups learn over time how to handle people bad to the bone. Kids don't need that at their young stage of life. They need to believe that good can triumph over evil, every time, in every and any way.

Sleeping Soundly Again - my comic for the Until the End of Time zine! I drew this around a year ago, and I'm so excited to get to unleash it on the world at last.

listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.

You know sometimes I wonder, “damn where did this random lust for robots come from?” And then I remember what I grew up watching

it's not like they live on a mountain with other monkey citizens running around

Or also known as Oz trying to flirt (??) but it backfires on her.

set after BMW when Oz is living on Mount Huaguo, hence the hanfu and the neater hairdo

I think I'm also slowly getting the hang of drawing Sun Wukong without having to look at 81 reference images

so since it's ace week i wanna talk about my very specific jon's ace ring headcanon. (btw the beginning of this is very inspired by a fic i read once, but i can't remember the name)

so jon has an ace ring. he got it from georgie in uni after she helped him figure out he was ace, and he wears it everyday.

but then, after jude perry burns his hand, he can't wear it for a while (i know if he wore it when shaking her hand it would have probably melted, so let's say he wasn't wearing it for some reason). he keeps the ring in his pocket and after he comes back to the archives martin notices he keeps fidgeting with it. (now this is the part that i read in a fic) martin asks about it and jon admits how upset he is that he can't wear it (this also ends up functioning as a coming out so martin can hear it from jon instead of office gossip!) and martin gives him a chain so he can wear it around his neck while his hand heals.

now this is the part that's all mine. i imagine right before they leave for the unknowing, jon and martin say goodbye (and they kiss cause it makes s4 hurt more and it's basically canon im my mind). jon takes of the ring necklace and gives it to martin, asking him to look after it until he comes back.

then the coma.

at first i imagined jon waking up with the ring next to him but no martin. but then i came up with something sadder (but also maybe sweeter?). martin keeps the ring. he knows he should give it back after jon wakes up and that he could probably find a way to do it without talking to him, but he just can't get himself to do it. jon notices but kinda forgets about it (he's got bigger things to worry about and assumes martin forgot).

then they go to the safehouse. and martin gives back the ring. he apologizes for not doing it before but jon is just touched that he still has it. it's all very emotional and then martin puts the ring on jon's finger and they are both VERY aware of how much it looks like a proposal

"the creator said in a reddit thread -" "the official twitter account posted that -" "the actors confirmed in a livestream that -"

i don't care and that's not real to me. put it in the text.

everyone at aperture always treats wheatley pretty badly, he’s used to being called a moron and other belittling names due to his general incompetence. of course he would grow attached to the one person who is willing to spend time with him and actually treat him decently lol

chell is very much a lone wolf. she is introverted and avoids most people in the facility, and at first she would ignore wheatley’s ramblings and maybe even think he’s slightly annoying. but overtime they became eachother’s friendly face in a place full of unpleasant coworkers. they also see eachother quite often because he helps oversee test subjects like her. and eventually she truly warms up to him, despite still maintaining her usual stoic demeanor, she starts smiling at him more often.

anyway he develops the fattest crush on her. who wouldn’t. WHO WOULDN’T

Stop that right now jimothy

the thing is, i love The Narrative, but i also absolutely adore a truly character-focused tragedy where everyone’s downfall is caused not by larger narrative forces, but by hundreds of tiny decisions made by characters who, despite their best efforts, just suck.

NAH 'CAUSE ZORO ONLY REALLY STARTED TO GET PISSED ABOUT SANJI WHEN HE SAW HOW LUFFY REACTED TO HIM.

LISTEN. The guy was pleasant in the first meeting, even joined in on teasing Nami with Sanji. The way I see it, our boy sensed competition when he saw that Sanji was a competent fighter too! in addition to the fact that they never really got the chance to interact properly prior to our cook becoming an official member. I mean, imagine waking up and finding out there's a new member of the crew, recruited by your babyboy Captain (who LOVES eating) because he's a good cook and apparently he's kind???? I'd be shaken too y'all. It's no wonder he couldn't stand him.

Zoro literally pulled a nerve hearing Sanji say, "Luffy needs us!" WHAT OTHER REASON COULD THERE BE FOR THIS IF NOT THAT HE THINKS HE, RORONOA ZORO: FIRST MATE, KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR MONKEY D. LUFFY??? SO BACK TF UP LITTLE EGGPLANT
