idk if itās just me but the whole āwhich atla kid in the gaang is the most matureā debates can get redundant and kind of exhausting at times. theyāre kids. theyāre multifaceted characters. theyāre mature in some departments and immature in others. they have their strengths and weaknesses. also theyāre kids lol.
#listen this is a probably a nothing burger lmao Iām just deep in my thoughts about what it means to be mature#because when talking about the cast what type of maturity are we focusing on yknow?#is it emotional maturity? spiritual maturity? social? maturity when taking up certain roles such as leadership?#and everyone has a different idea of what it means to be mature even in personality#take a comedic relief/goofy character for example#some may say this character is immature because of their goofy behavior#others might point out that being a jokester and taking the role of comedic relief doesnāt mean said character is immature#maybe my frustration just stems from people trying to assign parental roles to these tweens/teens lol#which I feel like can be an interesting conversation if weāre discussing#the traumas of losing a parent(s) at a young age and being forced to take up so much responsibility due to circumstances#but idk usually I see a lot of these conversations go sideways I guess#my conclusion#theyāre just kids man they shouldnāt be fighting a war#they should be at the after school program#get aang to the computer lab now and make him a webkinz account#atla#text

Free podcast promo graphics!
Recently been messing around with graphic design in canva (as you've probably noticed, if you follow any of my projects lol) and I'd love to try new things not from my own brain + maybe help out some other cool projects!
So if you're involved in a podcast and are interested in a free promo poster of some sort, (w no guarantee of quality, sorry - reminder that I'm learning/making stuff up as I go lol) shoot me a message on Discord @smallsies and we can chat :)
note: while this is free for practice purposes, if you think its cool you can always support my community work with Podcast Book Club over on Ko-Fi!
+ some examples of my previous work under the cut!
#these examples are particularly same-y (whoops) BUT i'd extra love stuff that's a big shift in vibes lol#audio drama#fiction podcast#< tagging for reach :)#finch chirps#i might not do a TON of these because - yknow - side project in the basket of side projects. but we will see!

because we got top 5 freddy facts can we get top 5 cuntress facts
OF COURSE
1 she is literally just transgender. like textually. stanley and i have joked about how its kind of written in the "cowards way" in that shes just a reincarnation that is basically a cis woman but considering this show came out in 2016 and the fact that there's like never any weird jokes about her gender i think this is like the best possible outcome. she has a few moments where she brings up like her old life and never really seems to think much of her weird little trans circumstances. casually talks about women she loved and theres never any jokes like "AHAAA but i am a girl nowww" or whatever. someone once wrote an entire article about her and this whole thing much to my surprise (same person picks up on tchaikovsky's trans implications as well but i forget if thats in this article or another one on this site. i digress) its great
for some reason her being trans made her also become blonde. its funny putting the two designs side by side
2 this is my favorite screenshot of her
3 shes got a job as a pianist for a local bar or something of the sort. kind of just implied she does random gigs i think? anyway theres some cute art of her playing the piano about it
theres a few instances where shes shown playing in the show and i think each time they use piano renditions of actual franz liszt pieces so she's literally just playing her own songs for people without them really knowing.... very very cute little detail
tangentially she's also shown to have a bit of a thing for alcohol which is a trait really only shared with schubert (her orange friend) and it never comes up in the show but GOD i wish they had a little scene of them getting blasted together i know they would.
thinking about it this actually comes up with tchaikovsky who's not allowed to drink on account of being like 15 and the way she prevents her from drinking is simply by stealing any drinks from her and chugging them
she rules
4 ive made the comparison before of white woman isel but she literally. just is. she has an entire motif about love and romance and gets excited when people's relationships are weird and complicated in a very like. "oh i am here to observe a story that will entertain me" way. very much has a penchant for the theatrics. and all of this is kind of surface level so the fact i bring to the table is that each time she has a fun little fancy outfit she always corresponds it to like. some kind of stereotypical archetypal fictional setting. her magical girl outfit is pirate themed and there's an entire episode about her literally constructing a fake cowboy au of all her roommates in her mind where she's a badass sheriff who made a pact with the literal devil. charms me A LOT that she kind of terraces around schlocky fiction that's all about drama. it's a cute little parallel to freddy's own dependencies on creating dogshit comics
5 this is not so much a fact as much as it is simply an earnest recommendation but she has an entire episode about challenging a guy to a piano duel where she spends all her prep time just working out. i cannot say any more about it because its genuinely just better experienced outright. if youve got like 20 minutes to waste just dip into season 2 episode 10 its probably the best episode in the show from an objective point of view and its all about her and its all you need to see
#honestly theres not as many fun facts about her because shes literally just like. maybe the best written character#and all the exciting stuff about her is literal Plot stuff because shes not as much of a narrative waste of space as like#for example. freddy is. i love that guy but he does nothing so they had to compensate with a lot of fluff LOL#or like. not necessarily plot stuff but a lot of information about her is just like. genuinely well-expanded on that it doesnt so much#feel like an aside as much as it feels pertinent to her entire development. yknow. anyway. shes sooo cool. i watched this show for her.#ask

i came across the post where you talked about your thoughts on unique physical traits some splatoon species might have, and i sort of have a follow-up question?
what kinds of physical traits do you think aplysias would have? for context they look a little different from other sea slugs/hares--like a thin crepe that got folded on itself and i have no idea how that would translate into a humanoid oc
id assume like flow with slight differences
#i dont think allll sea slugs are gonna look exactly the same since we know not even all inklings look exactly as all the player characters#but i think the general idea for most sea slugs would b mantle -hat like body part with the lil bunny ears and some sort of tail#and then yknow...diversity lol different mantle shapes/sizes heights colors hair lengths and since theres a canon sea slug character that#makes it much easier to come up w things to make them look different i think#aplysias body shapes arent super like out there which is why i dont think theyd look too different compared to a blue dragon for example#asks#anon#mydoodles

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians
#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic#im just like. tired of gnawing#and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get#content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky#young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me#im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing &#digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances#m text#i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story#not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a#lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out#bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples#and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified#(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right)#and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here#(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh)#I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost.#anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein#out as lesbian#like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has#to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic)#meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just#and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so#yknow. personal viewer bias here#but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian#and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out#but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough.#im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes#I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY.#like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

idk i do need to think more abt how ppls personal experiences interact w their Fandom Behaviors esp now that im less caught up in a specific fandom that was rlly bad about that lol
#txt#bc yeah sometimes it is rlly cathartic to see a character whos similar to someone who hurt you get hurt or even just portrayed as a villain#but at the same time its rare that ppl distinguish like. attempted objectivity & their subjective opinions on tumblr specifically lol#which i think leads to a lot of resentment#granted there r some people who ARE actually that crazy/fandom poisoned who do think like. e.g. liking rhea means you would have forgiven my#- irl abusive priest or whatever. & theres a good chance that fandom culture also creates such people. in like a vicious cycle yknow.#but idk im just spitballing#again just an example but. i dont rlly think i should have to write I Don't Have Religious Trauma Which Allows Me To Love Rhea before saying#- that i do love her & think some of her more questionable actions r not as unforgivable as many people make them out to be#which in turn means that ppl who dislike her shouldnt have to say I Have Religious Trauma And Therefore Etc.#but like. idk. maybe the proper conduct here is just whatever leads u to treat other people with the most kindness#i think all of us should keep our minds more open

aaahh the "radical agenda" gender politics the moclans are talking about against the women colony is hitting tooooo close
#TO tag#ik there;s trans allegory topa later as well and that's theoretically good#but also jlkkdfkj i think this is the first more modern scifi ive seen that does explore gender issues so#im more used to getting to pretend these things arent happening if i turn to funney space time#bc at least w the human centric ones they often just let ppl be equal with only occasional bad worldbuildy slip-ups that remind you#that this was written by modern men w modern biases lol#FOR EXAMPLE. which is a bad example now that i remember the people on this audio commentary ALSO WORK ON THE ORVILLE.#terra nova typically let their genders be equal without much issue!#to the point where the weird objectification of simone on the finale audio commentary fucking shook me lol#anyway the orville is also generally bad about this in more subtle ways with their human worldbuildy bullshit#just didnt expect more outright reads on it w allegories thru other species WHILE they also have work to do foundationally too#but yknow. if this can get through to any of the neutral fox tv bros so be it

i think ive reached my limit of how many times i can handle people only being able to refer to marcille as a girlfailure
#wind howls#marcille does one (1) thing poorly and suddenly shes everbodys failgirl and its so funny guys shes a complete failure of a party member LOL#and the thing that she did poorly is either 1. something shes said shes good at because shes not allowed to make mistakes or 2. -#doing anything that people associate with the typical Annoying Smart Woman or whatever. because then theyre reminded that shes a girl#yknow when senshi got on the kelpies back and almost died i dont think i saw anyone calling him a boyfailure#nor do i think anyone did that when laios thought that eating food in paintings would carry over to the real dungeon. he was just silly.#strange that in those occasions people didnt attribute their errors or misjudgements on their being men.#'oh but senshi wouldnt know bc hes only met the one kelpie and had no prior knowledge of them and laios knows about monsters not-#the nature of magic painings!' ok and where are those explanations whenever marcille refuses something or messes up or does something cute#like. she messes up* with the mandrake because she focused on the destination and didnt think of all the possible outcomes afterwards#*but in the end she still does get the mandrake. and its better than the other ones senshi got.#like. she initially refuses to eat the very first monster they find because thats just the fucking norm in the society she was raised in.#she didnt consider eating monsters because she never had a use for it. shes from a rather well off background#shes a genius when it comes to magic and also theres already domesticated animals at the surface that she is used to eating.#her initial reactions are entirely normal imo. its wild that im still seeing people attribute that to her being a girl. i hate it all#so many examples everywhere all the time. you guys are aware that shes more that just Girl and Falin's Girlfriend and Magic Girl right.#anyway im upset and angry and im exploding the world with my brain. goodnight

I will read the most inane and useless stuff for hours just for my own interest/enjoyment, but reading academic papers is like pulling a tooth šš like I genuinely think I'd find the info interesting but the fact that ik it's in pursuit of doing an assignment somehow manages to kills my motivation 100%
#step 1. you pick a research topic you find genuinely interesting#step 2. you have to research and read papers abour this topic. hey dont you remember you find this interesting??#i just remember going on deep dives learning about random historical figures#but absolutely god forbid i read anything in the pursuit of actual schoolwork#i think its mostly that i feel constantly under duresss when im reading it yknow?#all i can think is: im going to have to write something about this#lol just need someone i can blab to about politics and maybe it would actually work out for me#but ugh yeah theres just such a palpable difference btwn reading smth for enjoyment and reading something 'for work'#here is an example!#in my one class i think my prof put The Prince as a reading#i didnt even look cause im liek yeah i aint reading all of that#fast forward a year later: oh my god! i wanna read machiavelli so bad! i wanna feel intellectual š„°š„°#literally bought myself a copy of it .....#i think im too self aware. id like to remove all sense of context from my brain#literally spent hours today watching documentaries that are actually pretty relevant to my one course#<- but note. they werent FOR my course. i was just doing ir for fun! i wanted to learn!!#but if i got assigned a hour and a half docu for class....that shit would not be getting done#ugh yeah anyways i have two research papers this sem#and its so fucking annoying bcs its so open to my choices. like here. you can pick smth you find genuinely interesting#and you guys literally witness me constantly learn info and want to apply it#but the thought of having to write a paper for school(god forbid) literally keeps me awake at night#its just yeah. wish i could remove that particular barrier from my brain#bcs some of the things i do for fandom are literally borderline research papers#like. read and research a bunch. write about it to other people. apply the info(in fic/drawing/meta)#and really the topics are not so different from my actual coursework#but when i contemplate having to research and write for school it just flatlines my brain#need to start forcing people to watch me borderline seminar so that it feels more fun and in-line w what i do on here#the fernando card post???? practically a research paper. god. my brain is so bad#catie.rambling.txt

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...
it really is enough to drive a person mad...
#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn#like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years!#that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knƶdely or completely inaudible without microphones#but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a#anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas#if they never heard them sung well lol#sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but.#you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view#it really is pretty simple#(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecieÅ posting???? lmao#hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol#not many ofc but. yknow)#also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history#when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story)#anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history#because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from?#lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3#opera tag#yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag#*luisA tetrazzini ofc#lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs

Iām just soā¦ I donāt want jaehyun to eventually alter the way he acts or presents himself due to backlash from fans (in and out of the bonedo fandom) regarding his āloudnessā and energy. it doesnāt cause harm to him or his band members. heās relatively good at reading the room and adjusting his seriousness (like sometimes I think people think they chose the bonedo leader willy nilly lmao) and heās not oblivious or unaware of his bandmates and others. like anyone else, Iām sure thereās moments when he might need help refocusing or w/e, but I have yet to see anyone who is warranted to have an opinion (ie: knows him irl) react negatively to his personality? like heās not the first idol to be talkative. heās not the first idol that might run around a bit. heās not the first idol to make a lot of jokes or flirt with half his bandmates. itās not a new personality. itās a little different than what we see in other leaders but again, itās not ānewā. loud people were not invented in 2003. and over time, maybe heāll mellow out a bit. it happens. or maybe heāll remain as he is, thatās cool too. and as a leader, I kind of hope for the latter bc the industry will work them and burn them out and I hope theyāre able to maintain their youth and softness towards the world. that not everything is a battle or a fight, that the job while a job, can be one they continue to enjoy to do.
#to delete probably#from behind the door#like i donāt know to explain how i feel protective of jaehyunās personality and those with similar ones#example is j@ckson w@ng (sorry i donāt want this in his tags) and how he outward personality has sort of#shifted in more recent years to be less known as the more loud and goofy kind of guy#to this cool guy or whatever#and thatās a bitā¦ generalizing LOL but itās an example#mark and bb discussed it i believe#contrasting.. you have mj#who is still the same mj imo#and like personally have whatever opinion you do yknow?#like it gets annoying? thatās fine it happens#hell I do not think Iād survive a day with jaehyun#love him to bits but that would be a lot#and guess what? I donāt have to lmao#iām not in bonedo LOL#AND NETIRHR ARE YALL ON THE INTERNET#like just step away#take a break#turn off the volume#likeā¦ itās one thing to be like heās loud and itās another thing to use it as something inherently negative#like āyour personality is cringeā like noooo donāt tell people that#idk how to explain itā¦. i guess itās really on my own upbringing of#if you donāt got something nice to say donāt say it#yāall can comment on your group being quieter than other groups and how you love that#without dragging in some other name to say theyāre annoying and the opposite#actually i take back what i said in a previous tag#you can probably address a person being loud or talkative or justā¦ a different energy level#without calling them annoying i think#WHY DID THIS BLOG TURN INTO ME RANTING

i need to do exposure therapy with purgatory i think the fandom experience at the time instilled the unpleasant dread and despair i still feel whenever i think about the event
#though it was also . the event itselfās fault . lol#and the miserable experience it was to watch them play from 7 pm to 5 am every single day for two weeks my time#and yes a lot of my unpleasant feelings towards purg come from my own ass being hyperfixated on the serv/etoiles#to a point where i struggled to Not watch . which made the feelings worse yknow#also like it kinda sucked for everyone it also sucked as an etoiles viewer . man was constantly stuck between the#āi canāt fight like i want to bc people will complain that im too strong and itās unfair nor can i Not fight bc people will complain that#iām going easy on people/not invested in the teamā . and he was right people shit on him either way#like the event marked him in the ādamned if i do damned if i donātā department so much that he still uses purgatory as an example today#and then he joined purg2ā¦ā¦. babey girl ur hyperfixation is hurting uā¦.. i actually enjoyed purg2 more tho so idc as much LOL#purg2 was better bc it was an event u actually willingly joined and it included people not from the main server so it wasnāt stuck in#fucking āis this lore or a pvp competitionā limbo#anw yeah even though i dislike purgatory overall bc it rly did shitall other than make people angry for two weeks (on ur server thats#supposed to be about uniting cultures . they all spoke in primarily english for two weeks bc the competition model that purg was#was just not built for short distance discussionsā¦. lord)#thereās still some cool stuff that came out of it . my fave highlights r bloodhounds and nice cogs i love them#when i feel stronger i will comb through the vods to write up the relevant stuff for the etoiles miraheze page i just . am still not strong#enough . the detox must be slow and steady#jay rambles#also i am going to bed now i should have been asleep ages ago

begging people to learn the difference between āother characters disagreed with this decisionā and āthe writers disagreed with this decisionā
#or if youāre going to make claims like this. provide examples#iām not going to pretend the writers donāt have bias but god. people really like to read author intention into everything#i donāt hate anders but man the way some people talk about him is insane#āthe writers are so mean to him :(ā yes because thats how the story moves forward. itās called character motivation. hope that helps#and the idea that heās punished for it goes around a lot but like. itās totally possible to let him run away scot free#that is an option the game provides. i think if the writers rly thought he was irredeemable it wouldnāt be there. you canāt spare meredith#are you upset that there is the Option to punish him. or that other characters disagree with him. what exactly are we pointing to#you canāt just say shit#i have my own disagreements abt how the mage templar conflict doesnāt work as well outside the context of kirkwall#but because of that. because the scope is broader and stakes are different. i donāt see why they owe him anything tbh#because realistically itās the annullment that causes the other circles to rebel? the fact that innocents were punished for it??#like iām not saying the writing is perfect but#is he āpunishedā because heās not universally hailed as a hero#for doing something extremely controversial. come on man#other characters will have opinions on that too#that doesnāt reflect on the writersā own opinions. not everything is a self insert#yknow what iām feeling brave lol. send poast.#mine
