There are only two episodes left in The Boys S4, but having seen the leaks and with what we got, I have some opinions.
My conspiracy theory is that they got too many cooks in the kitchen (writers in the writer’s room)—plus the writer’s strike and pandemic happening during this time—and it’s starting to make sense how they dropped the ball with this season.
#the boys#the boys tv#the boys amazon#the boys season 4#the boys season four#S1-3 is like a sharp honed blade (with occasional misses) whereas S4 swings a lot but misses their target#I like a handful of things (Antony Starr and Karl Urban are CARRYING the season for me)#God; Antony’s back must hurt from carrying the show so hard (give the man an Emmy)#but there are so many more moments in the show that falls flat for me#my interest in the secondary cast is virtually nonexistent (and this is coming from a person who likes them all)#I do not care about Joe; I do not care about the Frenchie & Colin B-plot; I do not care about Annie’s randomly thrown in abortion (???)#there’s a lotta wasted character moments and unnecessary fluff they should’ve cut out to laser focus in on the main plot#the character moments do not hit as hard as the writers hoped they did (it feels like they just threw random darts & hoped they hit)#this season feels like a waste of time :/ which is unfortunate#I like edgy dark humor & satire as the next guy—but it’s gotta advance the plot or be used for a purpose other than shock value#it doesn’t help that you get the sense a couple script decisions is a result of Kripke wanting to work with ppl he wants to work with again#which—fair enough; it’s his show—he can do whatever he wants#but I get a weird feeling when he throws in celebrity cameos & their B-plots instead laserfocusing on the main characters#I hope they tighten the story in the final season 5#they focused too much on the wrong things and not on the right things (seriously?? not showing Butcher taking the V??? making it offscreen?)#and the tentacles instead of making Butcher’s powers ironically parallel the very man he hates :/#the obvious Venom symbiote parody is not as funny or cool as you think it is (when you had a VERY cool premise before)

We are definitely getting close to due date and I’m just like aha ahaahaaaaaa hahaaaa oh no
#Fred is pregnant#oh she’s gonna come OUT of me isn’t she#oh No#appointments now are like *so when labor starts you call us when?*#I’m like when what now?#you’d think 9 months would give you ample time to mentally prepare#but my powers of avoidance are honed by decades of maladaptive coping#I will probably be in labor and be like *nah it’s just gas*

the block button is so important but dear lord does it take so much control to use it.
#years honing skills (stopping myself from exploding)#only to be ruined when I see mischaracterization and I need to bang my head on the wall#I really! don’t care! if someone personally comes up to me and I’d like ‘your opinion is shot’ because it’s more funny to me than anything#(also because. I have chronic im right YOURE wrong and here’s why syndrome from growing up a horrible debate and English kid)#LMFAO#-> always try to be your kindest self! but oh my fucking god.#sometimes it’s so hard and we gotta acknowledge that#-> -> this is all said by a girl who has nonone blocked on tumblr.com#move and ignore! and comeback every once and a while to reread post and simmer and grow your own arguments like the lunatic you know youare#crepe rambles

got reminded of when i was looking on my fyp on twitter and i got art of an elden ring character i think. and i didn't read the caption so i was like IS THAT ISHMAEL before realizing no wait that's not.
#emil.rtf#this also happens with alex minecraft. if you can believe it or not#there are so many times i've come across alex & steve art for some reason and thought it was ishmael & heathcliff.#i just sometimes see a bitch with orange longer hair and my attention hones in bc i go ISHMAEL?

I need to stop subjecting myself to people who aren't artists' opinions on ai art because I am going to eat a whole fucking shoe with how absolutely livid I am right now.
Ill just say this, I guess before I explode.
No one. And I mean NO ONE is giving shit to people who want to create those deep fake Garfield memes or silly images of celebrities running from cryptids in the dark. NO ONE IS CARING ABOUT THAT KIND OF UNSERIOUS USAGE!
If your argument for pro-ai includes that type of usage AND you aren't an artist? I will bite your fucking kneecaps.
THE PROBLEM is corporations and individuals who are using ai to scrape and crush other people's HARD WORK HOURS OF EFFORT AND YEARS OF PRACTICE into a single shitty shitty image so they can pretend they're a big great artist or feel special for the attention OR so they can skim a little drop of cash instead of paying someone to do it.
I feel like I'm going fucking insane.
Also people know ai banks aren't static.. right? Like you know that the big ones are scraping every bit they can from the internet every single day. It's not like they've settled on just a years worth of theft. YOU KNOW THIS RIGHT??
ITS A CONSTANT FUCKING STRUGGLE TO KEEP OUR WORK SAFE YOU KNOW THIS RIGHT????
#Topic ai art#anti ai#Seriously if you are someone unaffected by ai scraping (ie not an artist/writer) you should NOT voice your dumbass opinion#Because you will never understand the intense sadness and bitter unruly anger that comes from having your shit stolen#Something you put years into honing and days into perfecting only for it to be snatched from your grasp and waved in your face#If you generate ai art or have a business generating ai art (ART SPECIFICALLY FUCK OFF ABOUT IRL IMAGES IM TALKING ABOUT DIGITAL ART HERE)#Or use an ai writing generator instead of writing it yourself#Seriously. And I say this with all my heart and soul#Seriously fuck you.#If a SINGLE person responds with some bullshit strawman about how “ooohh not everyone uses it for bad stuff or steals”#Or “what about [some arbitrary unconnected thing that I clearly did not mention in this post]” I am going to flip my shit

Fred's Tattoo Chronicles (Part 1)
(part 2)
#just a sample of his many tats in this post series. he's got so many smaller ones to display.#but lemme tell you how bad that last pic has me drooling. i need a bib... or a bucket.#I think if Fred really honed in on his skill for tattooing he could've opened a cool tat shop either in Jax or LA.#like I know he has is music of course but this could've been a cool side venture along with his music#and before you come at me about the terrible tats he gave out back in the day let be play devil's advocate by saying the following#Fred is a very determined person and I believe he could've gotten better with years of practice. just saying.#but anyways I'm getting too analytical for a post that is meant to ooh and ahh over his own tattoos#Fred Durst#Limp Bizkti#nu-metal#Freddy D#The Chocolate Starfish is My Man Fred Durst#On my Freddy D bullshit for Fred Durst Friday#down the rabbit hole

Girl- your art and your OC Jey Cleary is SO GORGEOUS I CAN'T- I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM
I know your OTP is Joey and Astral, so, I must ask, how would he behave or act around Dark Mist if he met him?? 👀👀👀
Would he hate Mist? Would he tolerate him??
And what is Joey's relationship with Eliphas and his previous obsession in reaching purity by removing all the chaos??
(( AAAAAAAA! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! ;A;;;
THESE are also Super fantastic questions, thank you for the opportunity for me to gush about my boy and his antics with other characters 💙🩵✨ i’m so sorry this got SO long agshdj! There are doodles/art for your reading troubles down there too!))
- - ⟢〖 MIST 〗
So Jey’s whole deal is; Despite hailing from Astral World and being obligated to participate in their favor during the war ﹣ he’s actually the Son of Balance. His father, Protos, (the Heart of Astral World, as some called) was the guardian/overseer of the harmony between Chaos and Order. Before shit hit the fan in every conceivable way lmfao On top of that, Jey’s just.. a rogue and a rapscallion ahsgdhjs He never was keen on how black-&-white the war seemed, but relearning about the complete villainization of one half of a necessary energy was the final coffin nail. And that disagreeance is literally in his soul makeup! He was created in equal Chaotic Energy and Pure Energy. That balance is intermittently tied throughout him; He is meant to be the harbinger of Balance. Even Jey himself isn’t fully aware of how ingrained it is due to his own amnesia, but he does know obliterating all Chaos is not the answer, there’s something in his bones defying it. It’s a rather big plot point in his story that he starts to feel divided from the main crew because of this. Not Yuma﹣ Yuma is the only one backing Jey up at all ﹣but Astral. And it’s Astral’s rejection (spawned from the envoy's own rigid ideals and mission) that hurts Jey enough to push him out of the group for a brief period. ✨breakup arc woes✨
. . . And this is how and when Mist finds him. They make an alarming well fit duo. Their personalities mesh, and they do surprisingly? Okay? To avoid overt toxicity in their alliance? Mist doesn’t get preached at to change, or to “join a side of the war”, or be force locked in his card, so he tolerates having Jey around. And obviously Jey can’t be affected by Mist’s number influence, and he's naturally domineering enough to counteract when Mist gets too... himself lmao. Jey has a Robin Hood type of suave and charm whereas Mist acts increasingly seductive and invades people’s space because he wants to intimidate. Jey knows how to beat Mist at his own game, which both intrigues and aggravates the Number. Like two people who know one another via a friend-of-a-friend, and go on this epic journey and end up unconventionally thick as thieves like halfway through the movie. ASDFGH
Mist likes Jey’s assertiveness and darker side - the viability to resort to vicious methods and being such a rebel personality despite supposed loyalty to the world of “pure” ideals. Jey is pulled in by Mist’s unapologetic “take me or leave me” nature and his recognition of the hypocrisy regarding the war from both ends. And ofc the Number's unique brand of effortless beauty and free-bird, unaffiliated presence. Those two tend to, pretty universally, have a quick chemistry and natural connection. [ It’s also thanks to that natural connection that a certain lightbulb gets his first experiences dealing with an ‘unknown’ and green-eyed emotion. 😉 ] Also also, fun fact - if it could not already be told by these answers lol - These two are my second highest OTP, right after Goldenship (Jey x Astral /JeiAsu) ! I call them Pierceshipping. Since they have a lot of piercing qualities (particularly their affinity for bedroom-eyed stares and smirks) And because they each canonically stab someone through the chest.
I’m so sorry I ran out of space for the Eliphas portion of the question, I’ll have to return to that! ♡ ;v;
But TLDR; For a lot of the same reasons already listed here, Jey and him do not get along. Can��t always do much ‘bout it tho cause that’s their technical boss, gotta play civil or else Jey and boifren don’t get as many missions together :(
#(( THANK YOU So much for the ask!! This was so amazing and fun to answer <3 I treasure when I get stuff like this ;v; ))#| my oc ❦ |#| my art ♡ |#| saved ✧ |#| pierceshipping ✶٭༌ |#(( I’m not actually sure why this is;#but for some reason Golden just always ends up being the pair I *DRAW* more#whereas Pierce is the one I *WRITE* for more?#And I rarely RARely ever write stuff to post.. gshdjf#so it ends up with Pierce being like my ~secret~ ship ppl don’t know about lolol ))#(( Rest assured though it’s up there and sittin' easy with that close 2nd place title GSdhjk ))#(( Honestly it probs just comes down to me having a hard time honing Astral’s voice. I struggle with 'orderly/proper' characters ))#(( the day that I get a lock on writing him tho - watch out~ sfgdHfj#my ao3 gonna turn into a minefield of ✨⚜️🌟🏆🏅👑 lmaoshjd))

love in the episode cold fire kes almost kills tuvok and he just goes “you may feel remorse, possibly regret. i’ll tell you right now, i don’t mess with that shit so cut it out rn” 😭😭
Get yourself a mentor figure whose take away from almost being boiled alive by your mind powers is "I've gotta mentor her even more." Also Tuvok's eyes turned yellow! Which I found interesting!
#My favorite scene from that episode is when Kes is trying to focus in on Neelix's thoughts and he's being a silly little guy and she giggle#s and Tuvok's like 'I can't do this with you...these outbursts are too disruptive...'#Kes: tee hee hee~!! / Tuvok: -stands up- That's enough for today.#Q&A#anon#I love Kes & Tuvok mind power scenes bc it makes me question what the extent of Tuvok's powers are and that's v fun#Some people are like 'If X can do this why doesn't it ever come up again?' but in this case it's funnier that it doesn't imo#Like in this episode - Can Tuvok also hear and hone in on the thoughts of the entire ship? Would probably be real useful since he's#the chief security officer - but he never does it again and it's hilarious#Same thing with the fact that he can control a candle's flame

“I was told to ask you how to add the horse’s name bc apparently you are the specialist.”
You know what, I’ll take that!
#I’ve got a decently honed spidey sense when it comes to Icelandic horse names#and know my way around WorldFengur#it’s saved our magazine COUNTLESS TIMES#some people seem to just do a keyboard smash in the hopes that it makes sense#please…you have a registered purebred horse#at the very least you’ll have the passport and proof of ownership…with the name on…

my brain: okay but here's how possessed!gunter would take this idea and twist it for his own goals

#WAS REMINDED OF HOW FUCKING HEARTWARMING?? GUNTER'S LVL 40 CONVERSATION TO THE SUMMONER WAS#LIKE IM WAILING. HOW DARE THIS OLD MAN BE SO UPFRONT WITH WANTING TO HELP#and then my brain was like 'hehe well actually what if him helping mold the summoner to be more confident in their role was........because#he.......saw the benefits..........of having someone like that around...........'#ouh. gunter you gotta stop this MAN. YOU CAN'T HONE TWO DIFFERENT PPL FOR ULTERIOR MOTIVES. FUCK!!!!!!#I CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT *holds my head in my hands*#ngl. well. now i truly understand why corrin didn't see the betrayal coming. i really do. this man is so fucking suave and slick it didn't#even really hit me until today. LMAO. RATTLES HIM.#luring you into a sense of false security and you don't even notice how entangled in the trap you are until it's too late#file this under#summoner leigh/gunter

the amount i need modern wrestling fans to study the von erichs until they're able to point at other wrestlers and go "i know where they learned that" is unreal
#[ colour commentary ]#yes yes we always come back to me rambling about kerry and mean mark callous what of it. /j#this is actually a post about fritz and japanese wrestling at heart but progressive diseases are robbing me of my ability to put anything#into words beyond a desperate plea to sit your ass down and Watch the decades of wrestling people have already suffered and died to bring us#and to Feel the impact of wrestlers of the fifties-eighties for yourself. not just be Aware of it. if wrestling as a vessel for storytelling#could be a book you read It Would Be. if it could be a handful of movies/videos you watch It Would Be. but it isn't. and when we#Care about wrestling and want to engage with it we have an obligation to engage With Professional Wrestling. With the athletics. With the#tapes. With the promotional material including printed programs and cut promos and magazine articles. learn about amateur and collegiate#wrestling. learn about grappling. names of maneuvers. origins of some of those names. the names and legacies of venues. the sociopolitical#history of time periods and regions in which wrestling was happening. you will read the gimmicks and you will love the pontiact silver dome#as you would a spouse and you WILL learn about the heart punch and why it is the most devastating move in professional wrestling--#/j okay anyway. i lay back down now#train of thought inspired by the undertaker's kerry-honed drop kicks but Post inspired by fritz literally going to japan to save wrestling#okay. lay down now.#go watch some memphis tapes

Hate how i got into the habit of (objectively!) criticising/pointing out flaws with my work to compensate being overpraised as The Gifted Kid TM & how it makes me sound like i'm being self deprecating
#its such a hard habit to get rid of#tbf its true im not the best at taking compliments but mostly im just. allergic to praise i dont deserve and/or that singles me out#and it comes up every now and then w irl ppl how i am supposedly constantly talking myself down#even though among my artist friends i am doing that the least amount!#like. guys. there is a difference between not giving myself credit and acknowledging flaws#bc belive it or not i can do that without feeling shit about myself!#and half the time im not even talking abt myself im talking abt others?#cus i hate when people talk themselves down and i will often chime in to say what i think theyre good at#and bc *they* start comparing themselves to me i will then counter with what they are better at than me#or that yeah maybe xy about mine is better but ive also got a lot more practice#and idk i genuinely dont belive that is being self deprecating???#if anything you acting like im a prodigy or sth is devaluing the time and effort i put in to hone a skill#which btw being able to feel ok about my skillset including the goods and bads is also a skill i had to learn!#idk.#lay rambles#sorry for the rant this is just sth i get frustrated about way too often#this doesnt just apply to art but thats where it comes up the most#actually im not done sorry#this specifically was in the context that we got a project graded and the teacher graded us by comparing projects#(which is questionable in itself but i digress)#& then when it came to me i argued that the person he compared me to deserved a better grade and then listed a bunch of reasons#bc she visibly put in more effort and had included things i hadnt and i thought the grade was unfair#and i never once said i thought mine was bad or didnt deserve the grade! but i know i did not put much effort into it and that this showed#and yes it still turned out visually nice; i got pretty good at getting the most out of the least effort possible#and i acknowledge that this is also a skill!#but also pointing out the very visible differences in quality and effort is not? self deprecating?? or am i missing something???#and then had 4 ppl calling me out later for talking down my own project smh#like guys at this point youre just projecting#ik im grumbling abt this way more than warranted lol but a lil venting never hurts
