percy, holding out his fist in his palm: ok wise girl. rock paper scissors time. if i win, i get to pick the movie for date night

annabeth, doing the same: fine, but if i win, we move back across the country to that house in westchester that i love

grover, looking over in alarm: what?! how is that even—

percy, nodding firmly: deal. rock pap—

#grover is so alarmed #im sorry but you cannot convince me that percy and annabeth don’t make huge life choices based off of little bribes and competitions #ok obviously they talk about things in depth before and have to both agree it’s right for their family #but once they’ve mostly made up their minds the final decision making process is extremely unserious #percabeth #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo incorrect quotes #grover underwood #incorrect quote #pjo #heroes of olympus #percy jackson and the olympians #rick riordan #riordanverse

I kidnapped ur long-nosed cat for a sec

.

#last year you said that “dude looks like he's been betrayed in all past lives and is to be betrayed in all lives to come”#and it has become one of the defining descriptions of Machete in my head #I think about it frequently #you captured him so delicately here #almost like an old oil painting #or weirdly enough the color palette also reminds me of chalk on a blackboard #and I appreciate the big angular pink-tinted goblin ears #and the smooth gradient of his snout #I like the nuance of his expression he seems calm but kind of melancholic #thank you! your rendition of him looks so classy and refined ;-;#gift art #awkwardosthe3rd #Machete #own characters #I can't paint digitally at all so whenever I see someone making it seem so natural and correct and right I'm like #floored #people are making such nice art of my goobers I have no choice but to curl on the floor like a dead bug

story about a heist team doing a heist of colonial museums and returning unethically stolen sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony to their original communities

but the story isn’t about them

the story is a legal thriller about the repatriation coordinator and the pro bono lawyer who get frantically called in by that community when an artifact goes missing from a museum and shows up unexpectedly at their doorstep and now they are in a shit ton of (potentially international) legal trouble because the heist team did not take the legal ramifications into account, and no one else believes them that they didn’t steal it, and The Law is saying they are legally obligated to return it to the museum and are also probably going to go to prison for this, and activists are protesting, and it’s rocking the repatriation world, and it’s turning into a huge Thing

#I enjoy the museum heist repatriation fantasy as much as the next person but there is a reason people don’t just do that #The theme can be the unfair prioritization of colonial laws over indigenous rights and the inherent ethical unbalance #Of making repatriation the choice of the institution to do or not do #But like. A museum heist would not end in a ‘oh sorry guess you have it now and we can’t do anything about it’#repatriation

No worries, I agree with your rant! I'm not sure if Takaya hates women though but other than that I agree. I think Kisa's abuse and hospitalization is deliberately brushed off by the other characters because the family is so resigned to dealing with Akito and violence at her hands is something that's been normalized by not just Akito but the maids as well. Not excusing it, but maybe Akito's violent offenses are so frequent that no one cares to stand up to it anymore and they're so used to it.

I definitely agree that there's a ton of enabling going on with Akito and it infuriates me how, just like with Akito, the story ends without ever holding any of the adults (high mabudachi trio) or maids accountable for how much damage they could have mitigated but chose not too 😂. I'm personally not very satisifed with how the manga ended because I just feel like there were way too many loose ends that never really get addressed in a satisfying manner, both with Akito's individual actions herself, as well as all the abuse enabling and apologism that all the adults take part in.

Thank you for the response and I agree with your rant, though I'm not sure if Takaya hates women. Other than that, you have the problem with Akito nailed down and exactly, why does Rin never get to lash out at Akito and say the most hurtful things in response to what she did to her? She never gets personally called out by her victims and she should've had to hear what she did from them personally. Some part of me hates Tohru and feels like she doesn't deserve Rin.

I definitely feel you on Tohru... definitely the biggest pitfall of her character writing imo, wtf is this garbage of her becoming besties with her friends' and future husband's abuser and going on lunch dates with her? 😭 If i were Rin, I would straight up cut Tohru out of my life lmao, this as bad as befriending your bff's rapist imo. People defend it as "oh well Tohru and Akito are narrative foils and they relate to each other!" but imo it doesn't excuse Tohru committing the most blatant violation of trust and respect in a friendship ever. I guess everyone's personal values on friendship is different, but I personally take friendships very seriously and would not respect someone like Tohru if she was real. I firmly believe there are just people you do not go out of your way to befriend or make life long associations with if you have any amount of respect for your friends, and someone who caused your friends' life long trauma and committed violent, bodily crimes on them is mayhaps one of them. Obv it's good to show compassion and kindness to someone who desparately needs it in the moment, but it's weird af how Takaya has her entire story revolve around friendship and relationships, then have her MC, whos characterized as a kind and loyal person, not even respect the most BASIC requirements of it.

#ask #i do like tohru but like #this aspect of her character was. NOT great.#this may be controversial but i am much more accepting of victim characters choosing to forgive/maintain a relationship with their abuser #over friends of the victims #if you've been personally victimized you are entitled to decide how you feel about the abuser #and if you want to forgive and reconcile with someone who abused you that is YOUR choice #but if the victim isn't YOU but your friend then like #you have NO right to make this choice #like idk i just think as a friend your first priority should be your loyalty and care for your friend #not your friend's abuser?? its not your right to forgive someone on someone else's behalf #and it's also not your right to befriend your friend's abuser on your own behalf when your friend's clearly been hurt bc of them #sorry idk this shit just makes me so fucking mad LOL

Happy Birthday to Fallen London; My favourite British people beefing it with bats simulator.

#fallen london #ambition: nemesis #mr.cups #the grey mourner #Happy belated birthday to me: I finished my Nemesis ambition. I get to make a fun comic about it. THAT WAS THE DEAL!!!#...Is what I would have said had I not spent *four* days trying to draw a cool dramatic comic. This is all I have to show for it.#I also missed posting this on the Flondon anniversary so I'm double Smad and frustippointed at myself.#This is niche content but I know there are flondoners following me who will understand.#I had to make a second account because all my friends who I played with *also* picked Nemesis and dropped the game at various gates.#I failed every possible check at Knifegate. I was on the verge of madness. And yet I still love this game.#Little known secret about me: over 70% of the blogs I follow on tumblr are flondon rp blogs.#The cool art and character lore brings me a lot of joy!#With that said; what the hell is the coincidence that right as I finish Nemesis -#The flondon community starts a Nemesis Race.#Guys. it’s not worth it. It is a revenge quest about losing everything you have to see your task through.#All to culminate in the discovering that you are beefing it with a fanfiction writing bat.#That said; I do feel like this story was very satisfying for my melancholic doctor.#I knew I would get the choice between sparing or killing my nemesis (the bat) and I had a long time to think it through.#Someone who wants to save lives and (does as much as possible to do make things better for others) choosing against mercy?#Someone who never permitted themselves to let the city truly become a home because they were not a person - they were a tool for grief.#Alright..Yeah the ending was really good.#I will be back with a part two. Clearly I'm tenacious enough to commit to what I started.#If I am not excommunicated on sight by the flondon community I will be back with comics for the other ambitions.

anyway literally everyone is going through something all the time!!! everyone is wounded!!! everyone is human & no one makes it out of this life unscathed!! maybe try approaching people in good faith instead of always defaulting to the worst possible interpretations of each other

#the way people will pounce at the opportunity to unload on someone the second they have perceived A Wrongdoing #and then justify that with trauma like. i have been Traumatized so therefore i am allowed to make this other person feel like shit #never mind that life is not a binary set of right and wrong choices/beliefs and you are never going to agree with someone 100% of the time #and that disagreement ≠ the other person being a terrible human being. please god allow for some nuance and grace #stop putting people on pedestals stop with the unproblematic king/queen culture stop reducing other people to the image of them in your head

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

#this post was inspired by me remembering the experience of reading death in the family #after only knowing the fanbase version and realizing oh none of that shit happened okay #like girl you don’t understand it’s so bad #Jason wasn’t even fired as Robin #He’s not accused of murdering anyone by Bruce #He’s not trying to prove himself at all he’s just looking for his mom #The reason Bruce didn’t go after him right away is because he was tracking down a goddamn nuke the Joker stole #Then after he finds it and handles the problem he helps Jason track down moms 2 and 3 #Also Jason died in like 20 minutes?? even less??#He died in less time than it took his mother to smoke a cigarette #Bruce literally went ‘wait here I’ll be right back’ and was gone for less time than a trip to the grocery store #and then you go into the Jason Todd tag and they act like Bruce pulled the damn trigger on him #Like besties I don’t know how to tell you this he basically did everything right he possibly could have #Even him benching Jason from Robin temporarily happens so that he can get Jason into therapy about his trauma #Like the whole point is that neither of them did anything wrong bad shit just sometimes happens #That’s the tragedy. The drama.#Bruce couldn’t have made better choices in the position he was in and Jason was never going to make different ones #It was inevitable #Anyway rant over please read death in the family before I lose my mind #batfam #batman #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne

Cringetober Day 1. Screenshot Redraw

inspired by this early eah scene where raven "lets her bad side out" playing guitar and my cousin and I go "apple's probably losing it" and then they cut to her and she's making this face ↓

#starting off cringetober strong with day 1 on day 4 lol #I'm gonna steamroll through 2 and 3 today (and I have 4 unposted from last year so that's convenient)#prompt months are a good excuse to a draw bunch of media But last week my cousin and I rewatched some eah (my first time since high school)#so it's in my brain right now anyway :)#ever after high #eah #raven queen #apple white #rapple #tagging rapple because I made this with rapple intent but technically this is literally just what happened LOL #I Still feel like I didn't push her expression quite a far as they did but you can look at the screenshot. she's sooo funny she's so #unsubtle #this also started out as a meme redraw can you guess the meme #huge shoutout to the heart card in the bg looking like a deliberate choice on my part to make this look romantic #september 2024 #(yes I did start this a little early)#cringetober 2024

the lovers, reversed

(aka I'm still freaking out about Jou)

#art #ride kamens #i am about to go off on wild speculation so excuse me in advance #I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE EVENT YET so this could all be just absolutely nothing but i gotta get it out #(still debating if i wanna save the event for after i finish part 2 or not...)#this is my last chance to throw wacky theories out there okay #i've just. been thinking a lot about the riders the characters are based on and how they relate to their different classes #like the choices seemed SO random when they were first revealed but they do mostly make sense when you think about it #to the point where i actually do feel like i should've been able to call ooo for ambition. damnit.#however i did always feel like jou was a bit of an outlier and now i'm wondering if that's gonna be like...a thing #idk man just the fact that he's gonna have a special double card and bond henshin with taiten is nuts to me #especially since we're clearly on the verge of SOMETHING happening with soun and uryuu #what does it mean. WHAT DOES IT MEAN #what does this mean for the future of tower emblem #and it hasn't escaped me that there is no class associated with evolution (YET)#and thinking about who jou is based on i'm just like #(waves hands) YOU KNOW?!#(plus i'm still like WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RUI AND HAYATE but that's a separate thing)#i'm gonna try and take my time and not rush through part 2 but i also am SO impatient #i gotta knooooow #given the way my predictions tend to go though i'm either 100% accidentally right about the dumbest thing #or jou is fine but leon fucking dies or something and i'm gonna throw my phone into a lake #HAVE FUN GUYS I GUESS

I don't want to see any images of Sieg Heils-- or any other revolting images like that.

This is what I think we should be seeing on our dashes instead. This is what I want to see when I open this app. This is the image I think tumblr should be flooded with right now.

Especially as we have new folks coming from other platforms.

What about you? Do you want to see Sieg Heils or do you want to see someone angrily ripping a swastika flag in half?

#fuck nazis #fuck trump #fuck musk #fuck them all #if you need to find this image just search in the gifs for 'rip nazi flag'#rip nazi flag #image is from #the sound of music film #fuck nazi scum #fuck neo nazi scum #this is the image we need to see #please reblog #can we flood tumblr with this image please?#if you don't want to reblog me fine just make your own post with ripping a nazi flag. tag me in your comments if you want i'll rb you #i don't care about the reblogs of this image #i just need to see this image all over tumblr right now #i think we all need to see this image right now #cw swastika mention #tw swastika mention #cw nazi mention #tw nazi mention #and i think we need to make it clear to the newcomers who have fled the big socials that this is how we do things here #every time someone even mentions the salute I am fucking rebooting this.#christopher plummer #also whilst everyone is talking about what musk did no one is talking about what 45 might have been doing that day #like taking the constitution. off the website #and all information on support for women’s choice #and taking USA out of Paris peace accords #and’s declared that legally ‘life’ begins at conception which is absolutely fucking batshit crazy #w what is behind the curtain when you’re watching a big giant head perform for all on stage

#do you realize how “the best way to punish someone is to let them live forever” isn't a direct quote.......#do you realize how That probably means this is only how she understood and interpreted the words that he said but what if #what if that's not what he really meant....#do you think he maybe said all these things to make himself feel a little more human; a little more alive............#do you think maybe he actually has a lot of appreciation for those who continue because he knows it isn't easy but he #doesn't have the right words to express that?#do you think... he said that to the twins... because he knows... how difficult it is... to live despite it all..................#when maybe....he.....never had a choice...... but to do so...................................#sylus #lads sylus #sylus myth #love and deepspace #love and deepspace sylus #web weaving #lndthonks 🌹#lnds garden 🌹

perhaps the most important question i’ve ever asked:

does anyone have tips for people trying to stop being chronically late to everything in the world that aren’t weirdly judgmental and aggressive or flat out lies
