[imminent-danger-came]

https://youtu.be/7zl1LtEnqW8 here is the clip🐉

Thank you so much anon! Twas a short clip, but I'm no chump and there are actually things to talk about!

So.

Here we have Mei in the armor we saw on the new lego sets, and she looks great! She also looks like she's being antagonized (by possibly Azure? I'll get to that in a sec), and this pushes her to a breaking point, which is the exact opposite thing Subodhi told her in 4x09

"You are capable of so much more if only you would slow down and think!".

This screenshot also reminds me of this scene in 4x05 (except she's even angrier in the teaser):

Which in itself is a parallel to 3x02!

Next we have this

With Tang's magic all around the screen-

-that transitions to these shots, with a very distinct red in the background—as in it's very similar to the red that appears when Azure faces the Jade Emperor at the end of 4x10:

So, presumably, Mei is fighting Azure or someone Azure has given power, if he can do that. Mei's also surrounded in the same glowing green she was at the end of 4x07, so I wonder if Tang's powers have something to do with that.

What's especially intriguing to me, is that if we assume the first shot with Mei tensing in anger and the later shots with Azure exerting his Jade Emperor power are the same scene, Azure is going to taunt Mei in a very personal way. That's exactly what the Jade Emepror does initially:

"How is it you come to stand before me today Azure? Is there a point where you questioned it, or were you to caught up in your own delusion to see that you were a mere piece in somebody else's game? You may try Azure, the throne will be yours...but if you think I'll gift it freely, you are mistaken."

I think in particular Azure will taunt Mei about her initial trust, or at the very least some mistake she's made. Trust for Mei is something that has been significant before and will be significant again, so that's what I'd bet on.

Overall I'm super excited! It seems like we're going to get a Mei V Azure showdown, which would be great. She's gone up against Azure twice and failed, so she's more than due for a win! However in order to successfully do that, she's going to need to go through some character development first, so we'll see. But this is all just me theorizing, who knows what actually happens!

the problem with me is that ive conditioned myself to actually enjoy the post-show nastiness. i don't mind crawling back home reeking of beer and sweat and cigs and weed. it just means i had a good time

[bookshelfdreams]

yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.

(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)

In any case.

BEHOLD!

A wool coat!

The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.

Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.

This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.

Thank you for your attention.

Are you close? Yeah. Kind of best friends and kind of lost touch, so. It's nice to reconnect. Yeah, especially when it literally is like a best friend that you saw every day of your life and you kinda went through this sort of battle together.

sorry but i'm doubling down bc why am i on my way to work instead of in elisabeth sparkle's bed rn- like why are there barely any edits about how devastatingly hot this woman is T-T

like yes i'm 18 what's ur point;-; in fact, i think that is the point. think about it. actually think about it.

(rant incoming)

at the beginning of the substance, she's very insecure about her age and how "old" she and that bitchass harvey thinks she looks. so, what better way to distract herself from her woes than being a cougar-

think. about. it. with younger people, she isn't looking at the wrinkles and aging that she sees in the mirror. in a way, by surrounding herself with youth, it rejuvenates her. because, really, she's not as geriatric as she (and that bitchass harvey) perceives herself as.

but she doesn't just need someone younger. she needs reassurance, she needs someone to truly, genuinely tell her she's beautiful. someone young who sees her age, her experience, and worships the ground she walks on because of it. she is someone to aspire to be, as a star who's aged gracefully and living every day knowing that she's made it.

(and that someone is me btw)

watched the substance and ngl, i would let elisabeth sparkle give me a substance (for scientific purposes ofc)

swear to god if I read another motherfucking fic where these vampires pause to get the lube I am going to have a fucking mental breakdown and chew holes in the walls. i have had it up to here. this is an intervention. this is a come-to-jesus moment. what are you doing. are you thinking about your choices. why are you making them have sex like they're humans instead of weird fucked-up vampire sex. look into my eyes. can you please consider your worldbuilding choices and make ones that are less excruciatingly boring. look at me. you're being the softest beigest pillow if you make them use human lube. i'm serious. i will die on this hill.

fight me in the comments if you disagree or you feel huffy about this, i don't care. come at me, bro, i own the night.

[gingermintpepper]

In my Zeus bag today so I'm just gonna put it out there that exactly none of the great Ancient Greek warrior-heroes stayed loyal and faithful and completely monogamous and yet none of them have their greatness questioned nor do we question why they had the cultural prominence that they did and still do.

Jason, the brilliant leader of the Argo, got cold feet when it came to Medea - already put off by some of her magic and then exiled from his birthland because of her political ploys, he took Creusa to bed and fully intended on marrying her despite not properly dissolving things with Medea.

Theseus was a fierce warrior and an incredibly talented king but he had a horrible temper and was almost fatally weak to women. This is the man who got imprisoned in the Underworld for trying to get a friend laid, the man who started the whole Attic War because he couldn't keep his legs closed.

And we cannot at all forget Heracles for whom a not inconsiderable amount of his joy in life was loving people then losing the people around him that he loved. Wives, children, serving boys, mentors, Heracles had a list of lovers - male and female - long enough to rival some gods and even after completing his labours and coming down to the end of his life, he did not have one wife but three.

And y'know what, just because he's a cultural darling, I'll put Achilles up here too because that man was a Theseus type where he was fantastic at the thing he was born to do (that is, fight whereas Theseus' was to rule) but that was not enough to eclipse his horrid temper and his weakness to young pretty things. This is the man that killed two of Apollo's sons because they wouldn't let him hit - Tenes because he refused to let Achilles have his sister and Troilus who refused Achilles so vehemently that he ran into Apollo's temple to avoid him and still couldn't escape.

All four of these men are still celebrated as great heroes and men. All four of these men are given the dignity of nuance, of having their flaws treated as just that, flaws which enrich their character and can be used to discuss the wider cultural point of what truly makes a hero heroic. All four of these men still have their legacies respected.

Why can that same mindset not be applied to Zeus? Zeus, who was a warrior-king raised in seclusion apart from his family. Zeus who must have learned to embrace the violence of thunder for every time he cried as a babe, the Corybantes would bang their shields to hide the sound. Zeus learned to be great because being good would not see the universe's affairs in its order.

The wonderful thing about sympathy is that we never run out of it. There's no rule stopping us from being sympathetic to multiple plights at once, there's no law that necessitate things always exist on the good-evil binary. Yes, Zeus sentenced Prometheus to sufferation in Tartarus for what (to us) seems like a cruel reason. Prometheus only wanted to help humans! But when you think about Prometheus' actions from a king's perspective, the narrative is completely different: Prometheus stole divine knowledge and gifted it to humans after Zeus explicitly told him not to. And this was after Prometheus cheated all the gods out of a huge portion of wealth by having humans keep the best part of a sacrifice's meat while the gods must delight themselves with bones, fat and skin. Yes, Zeus gave Persephone away to Hades without consulting Demeter but what king consults a woman who is not his wife about the arrangement of his daughter's marriage to another king? Yes, Zeus breaks the marriage vows he set with Hera despite his love of her but what is the Master of Fate if not its staunchest slave?

The nuance is there. Even in his most bizarre actions, the nuance and logic and reason is there. The Ancient Greeks weren't a daft people, they worshipped Zeus as their primary god for a reason and they did not associate him with half the vices modern audiences take issue with. Zeus was a father, a visitor, a protector, a fair judge of character, a guide for the lost, the arbiter of revenge for those that had been wronged, a pillar of strength for those who needed it and a shield to protect those who made their home among the biting snakes. His children were reflections of him, extensions of his will who acted both as his mercy and as his retribution, his brothers and sisters deferred to him because he was wise as well as powerful. Zeus didn't become king by accident and it is a damn shame he does not get more respect.

iwtv ep. 11 (s2ep4) misconceptions pt. 4

now to tackle another big one - y'all are silly about the bench scene. when louis tells armand he used to be good at running things, y'all rushed to call him a pimp (derogatory).

fine, louis used to be a pimp, so ok to compare. what crosses the line is acting like armand is in the position of louis's prostitutes (who are not sex slaves, btw). why? listen to the advice he gives armand:

this is not advice a pimp would give a prostitute - it's advice a pimp would give another pimp, his equal, advice for how to manage his own enterprise. he's putting himself in armand's position and telling armand what he would do. just like louis "managed" finn o'shea and his prostitutes, armand manages santiago and the coven. armand recognizes this and firmly states that he's not willing to give up leadership of his coven (🧐i wonder if this will be relevant later), but listens to the rest of louis's advice.

frankly, it's ridiculous to think louis is being anything other than kind and generous when he tells armand that he can decide what he wants to do with his life:

which leads into the one of the most romantic moments in the show:

levan akin knew exactly what he was doing with this scene, and y'all are the ones who refuse to take it for what it is - sexy, foreboding, and romantic at the same time. y'all stopped letting the tale seduce you - i guess not enough blondes were on screen.

y'all have eventually got to realize that kunikida's temper and attentiveness to his schedule aren't callousness, they're coping mechanisms. right. y'all have to eventually figure out that much over seasons + tens of chapters of him being so tender it would snap him in two if not for the order he's constructed around himself. y'all will inevitably pick up on that with how he approaches dazai and kyouka, especially, right? surely.

I SWEAR CELEBI'S THINGY IS COMING SOON BUT I REALLY WANTED TO POST THIS ALRIGHT

yeaah... future trio got me too...

and Darkrai is there too, because of course he is.

hey look i drew a cute Drifloon :D

...ignore the rest

whatever started at Darkrai doodles ended in brainrot of future trio + darkrai and I'm blaming @scribz-ag24 for this

[arotechno]

these tags have been bothering me for a few days now. i understand wanting some private time at home with your partner, but can you not see that this is EXACTLY the attitude i'm talking about?

does your third housemate ALSO get an allotted time where you and your partner have to leave, or is it only for you? is this something you coordinate on days when your housemate is already independently making other plans, or are you just expecting to be able to kick them out of the house at will like this is a college dorm room?

this isn't a situation where you are three equal parties building a life, this is you and your partner treating someone else like a third wheel you wish would go away and a money bank to help you pay your bills. if that works for all parties involved then it's no skin off my nose, but can't you see that this is literally not at all the situation that i was describing? i'll make a very personal post about how it hurts when people act like my housemates would be justified in trying to get rid of me and alloromantic people will literally be like "this sounds great—as long as i can get rid of you!" like do y'all hear yourselves. do you actually see the words when aros post or is it just static for you.

this is the way people talk about their children, how they want their children out of the house so they can have some alone time. not the way you should be talking about a fellow adult who literally pays for and whose name is on the deed of the house you all live in. aro people aren't housepets.
