That new Mandalorian episode hit so well!!!

Spoilers ahead!!!

First off, seeing where Moff Gideon was hiding, I called it! I pretty much at the start thought he would hide where Mandalore was.

Second.... Rest in piece Paz... I am upset he is gone.... Yet, what he did to made me have some hope... The praetorian guards return!!

Third. . . . OMG LOOK!!! When Moff Gideon was talking to more empire people, one being Armitage Hux's father: Brendol Hux!!!

Now if you do not know who Armitage Hux is he is General Hux from the Sequel Trilogy! In the Mandalorian they show his father talking about cloning!!!

Like I love how this is slowly connecting to the sequel trilogy!! I needed this so much, sure I am sad that Paz has died. . . I still have not fully recovered from the loss....

Yet, showing that Hux's father was connected to maybe the making of Snoke and other Palpatine makes the story so much more interesting.

Also hearing about them looking for Thrawn and hearing rumors about him, this is obviously taking place around the time Ahsoka is then!

Then having the praetorian guards back is actually scary! Like, they were hard to fight and they served Palpatine . . . Then hearing plans of cloning is what Hux's father wants is actually awesome in a scary way!

Sorry, I am just excited with seeing this all connect the sequel trilogy more and now even more excited for Ahsoka to come out!

Now, when can I see baby Ben Solo?!

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

#perseus #danae #komiks tag #long post #every other week i start to say something about how greek heroes are a good case study in diaspora and exile trauma #but man perseus makes me so sad. so does danae. she loves her son :(#perseus turning a whole island to stone is a huge mood. i would also do that if i were him #anyway (salutes) take care everyone i gotta watch yunho's new video it looks like a fucking movie im so excited #(i singled out ovid bc i remember the fucking shit perseus discourse that ran through this site. i remember #im preemptively loading a gun and pointing at it before it can touch this post #it hasn't died out either i see it on twitter all the time in the most ANNOYING ways possible i am TIRED #esp bc they're actually doing medusa a narrative disservice like congrats! you made it worse! stop telling me it's better!!!!)#it’s all greek to me

So much respect to Larian for ending BG3 and charting their next course on their own terms, but I’d be lying if I said that I’m not a little heartbroken that we have to say goodbye to the wonderful world and cast of characters they cultivated ;w;

#baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #gpoy #considering Hasbro laid off all the WOTC staff that was Larian’s liaison #do not blame them for noping tf outta there before their development decisions gets compromised #but sad that any future baldur’s gate game will no longer have their touch and care #otoh excited to see what Larian has cooking with full creative control

The Fenton "Boor"

The Fentons have always been famous for their legal sale of weapons, usually based on ectoplasm and used to hunt ghosts. That's where they got most of their funds, whether it was to finance new inventions, their laboratory, or their children's education.

The problem began when they found out that Phantom was their son. Because of that revelation they accepted that they couldn't continue on the "weapon creator" path, how could they continue to create and sell weapons that help hunt down their baby? Even if they didn't trust all the ghosts Danny changed their perspective of the Infinite Realms and they were more or less at peace.

That is why they debated for hours on what to do to make money again, until they noticed something curious: Most of the people in Amity couldn't get drunk. It was a silly thing to focus on, but thanks to a quick investigation they noticed that after the portal opened no one had made it.

That's the reason they created a new brand of beer "Boor", which affected both ghosts and humans contaminated with ectoplasm. Their business quickly became a success and the beer was exported elsewhere (with many care and prevention labels).

When Jason Todd noticed "Boor" on the shelf at the bar he frequented, he snorted. The beer had a small ghost on the bottle, which caught his attention, he ordered it out of curiosity and when the waiter told him that the brand claimed "the product was capable of making even the dead drunk" Jason almost laughed.

Big was his surprise the next day when he woke up on one of Gotham's rooftops with a severe hangover. He had at least 8 missed calls from Nightwing and a bottle with a cartoon ghost in his hand.

Seems Kaeya’s vision has 3 wings on each side now and is a combination of Mondstadtian vision and Khaenri’ah’s 8-pointed star. Except instead of two points there are wings on the bottom part. I’m very normal about it

#kaeya #kaeya alberich #genshin impact #kaeya skin #genshin 3.8 #khaenri'ah #that was a lie #i am in fact not normal about it #oh how i love how it says so much about his character #man this doing numbers anyway kaeya enjoyers follow me and lets be friends im always happy to talk and be excited and sad about him

Legend tells of the carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate at the crest of a river and became a stand up comedian.

#also toyed with calling this comic riddle of the sphinx #but that had a little too much reference already associated with it #comic #comics #sphinx #dragon #ive been thinking so much about humor as related to the tortured artist and comedians and poets as sad artists etc etc #and how often that can be true but how this predominant cultural vision pigeonholes comedy as a low art or even just one you have to just #'be talented' at intrinsically. or even 'be sad enough' to be good at #instead of a craft you hone and an artform itself #this comic isnt exactly about that.#but it's related #it's more about... two very different kinds of people. but who are the same kind of artist #if that makes sense #and literally being scared of what you want #art tag #sequential art #personal comic #quite happy with how this one turned out. im excited to have made it i feel like its really different than my usual comics

Been four years, time for this again.

With the trajectory these redraws are going, Merlin and Gwaine are going to end up just,,, making out. Full on sloppy style right in front of Arthur.

And honestly? Good for them they deserve it lmao

#bbc merlin #merlin #merwaine #merthur #arthur pendragon #sir gwaine #ot3 #redraw #re watched “Gwaine” recently and the heart eyes they all have for each other #Arthur vouching for a man he's know for like two days max against a knight he's apparently been friends with since his childhood #Merlin being sad eyes and telling Gwaine he thinks he's fun and he's going to miss him when he leaves #Both of them recognizing his fighting style and being excited that he's there at the melee :3 #It's Gwaine my Good Friend Gwaine he's here I Love my Good Friend Gwaine whom I've known for three days he's my Favorite Guy :) :) :)#Says merthur #Gwaine very famously being Anti Nobility but risking his life anyway for Arthur #and then literally just about every damn interaction he has with Merlin period #which in his defense isn't his fault because that's just the Merlin Effect but still. Gwaine is Not Immune.#anyway fuck these guys <3

Everytime I see videos or posts about indie animation, I'm a little more sad that people seem to completely gloss over 'Tales of Alethrion', despite them being at it for ten years now and having completely set the high standard for indie anim on Youtube back in the day.

Anyway if you care about indie animation, this is your sign to go watch the episodes now and spread the word about this forgotten masterpiece - especially since a new ep is apparently in the works...
