we still don't have a runtime for Mom City so I hope this means it's like 90 minutes just to extremely piss off the "omg it's a sitcom!" complainers

i feel like the queer community lost when we started policing labels and making sure everyone used the Correct™ labels instead of letting a person decide what feels right for them

Roleswap anyone??

Tell me Fernando wouldn't make a fantastic general/emperor, and that Napoleon wouldn't make a fanastic driver/tp!!

Honestly, the craziest part of accessibility is that there aren't many abled people (and disabled people who aren't disabled in Every Way Possible) who wouldn't benefit from any of the accessibility options out there

ALT text has made it so much better to navigate image-based pages! I'm not visually-impared, but tumblr is terrible at loading images, and I'm not always connected to WiFi. People who add ALT text make it easy to satiate my curiosity when images don't load! This, coupled with actually learning how blind and visually-impared people navigate the online world, has inspired me to do my best to emulate the things I find helpful, even if the way it helps me is very different than theirs. Having a sense of scale in how it helps me versus how it actually makes the internet usable to the blind and visually-impared is something I do try to keep in mind.

Navigating a world with accessible options is primarily going to help the disabled, and it's imperative to keep this in mind. I do think, though, that illustrating just how much accessibility impacts even abled people's lives can help inspire people to think, "wow, I can't imagine a world without [accessibility option] and I don't need it, but it makes life so much easier." The more I interact with accessibility options I don't need, I still find it so helpful. I can't even imagine how amazing it is when you do need that accessibility and it's actually provided to you.

I don't think that abled people should only be in it for themselves. Again, accessibility should put disabled needs first and foremost. But I can't help but wonder how many people you can get to understand this by first saying how it impacts them, too.

I do like the idea that stanley would punch the narrator if he ever saw him face to face but I also enjoy the idea that stanley would try to scamper off and hide from the narrator. the narrator tries to say hi and stanley scampers off like a hamster to get back to his office.

I don’t think he’s afraid of the narrator but I do think he would be weirded out by another physical person being around him after having been only around nonphysical entities for a good long while

Yknow, I think this passage really captures how Ouyang views Esen, especially in contrast with how Baoxiang views Esen. Ouyang geuinely believes the best of Esen, he genuinely belives that Esen is good and pure and kind and that it's himslef that is taining him into being otherwise. And while Ouyang is right in that he's technically responsible for Esen’s current emotional state (he did very much kill Esen’s dad and frame his brother for it, that is very much a thing he just did), for once it isn't his fault for the everything else going on with Esen?

I do think Esen is generally good-natured, and tries to be kind and generous to those he loves, but it's very clear that Ouyang has reduced him to JUST that in his head. He only sees Esen’s best qualities as inherent to him, and all the bad ones are Ouyang's fault somehow. He blames himself for Esen not understanding him (because there's something wrong with him, and even when he's mad at Esen for not caring enough to notice certain things he justifies it in his head by making it about his own unmanliness or whatever and Esen is just to perfect for that), for any failure in battle (yeah you're the general but Esen also approved this hes your boss dude), and generally for any moment where Esen exhibits less than stellar behaviour/capacity/etc. When in reality, we have a lot of moments where Esen is just sort of a dick, many of which are pre-ouyang (courtesy of HWDtW wbx flashbacks, which, granted, are also biased but my point still stands). We see Esen's constant and usually unjustified frustration with wbx and sometimes Ouyang, we see him be dismissive of the things they tell him, in the pre-order reward its pretty much stated that he makes a habit of dumping Ouyang outside brothels for hours while he goes inside to get laid, in one of his first scenes we see how much he enjoys it when Ouyang spends the whole morning tormenting Altan (altho tbf he kinda deserved it, altan suuuccckkss), and in general Esen just kinda treats people like crap sometimes. He's snapish and short-tempered and stubborn and imperious, loves whining about stuff, and is a shitty brother and best friend. He's got a lot of good qualities too, like how he's one of the few people that treats Ouyang with respect and tries to treat him as an equal, how his first reaction when wbx is insulted is to come to his defense (even if wbx usually foils his attempts by immediately clapping back and storming off), how we see him recognize he gets frustrated witj wbx too easily and tries to hold his temper back, how he immediately self-sacrifices to save Ouyang from his dad, how even after thinking wbx killed their dad he does really want to forgive him.

My point is, Esen is trying, but he's a very flawed human being, and Ouyang just can't seem to grasp that. He looks at him with rose-colored glasses. And it's so interesting that amongst all the shitty things Ouyang has done (and this duology really just is Ouyang and WBX fuck up yuan dynasty china to truly Epic proportions), the one he feels worst about is the one that isn't actually his fault (sorta). He may have killed Chaghan and been the catalyst for Esen's emotional blow up, but he isn't responsible for Esen having the capacity to burn WBX's books. That was Esen's decision. He hasn't somehow manipulated Esen into an eviler, crueler version of himself by virtue of existing evil-y and eunuch-y and revengefully im his vicinity. Esen was always capable of this, even if we take out Ouyang's actual manipulations, and I think this whole I-tainted-hin mentality really encapsulates how fucked up their relationship and Ouyang's mental state are in general. After all, Ouyang doesn't feel bad about the murder, or the framing, and he feels guilt about causing Esen pain, but most of all, he feels absolutely terrible that he's shattered what he sees as Esen’s purity, which in reality is mostly just the pedestal he himslef put him on. Man, what a fucked up little guy.

the thing so sweet to me about step dad!touya specifically is that your daughter isn't being raised in a toxic/abusive household. no, you and her father aren't together, but you both love and care for her, time is split fairly, you two can stand to be in the same room as one another and at events together to support her — so she has no qualms about being like "love you!" to touya and that THROWS him OFF.

what about a simon snow fic where everything is the same except simon giving the humdrum his magic turns it into a real boy and not a shadow of who used to be and so now simon and baz are just. an older brother and his vampire boyfriend of this feral gremlin eleven year old. is this anything?

getting a sudden resurgence of art motivation is such a blessing and a curse tbh. bc on one hand im drawing a lot and having a lotta fun doing so but on the other hand i wanted to make Even More secret stuff for atbb that requires drawing so i told myself i would make a few very sketchy things that would have to be quick and don't have to be Insane Awesome Quality since they'll be blurry as hell in the final product anyway and i have like less than a week / a couple days at most to get it all ready in time

so anyways now it's 3am and i just finished the first of what i still want to do after 3 days

can't get rid of the feeling that i use references as a crutch to make better art when i myself in raw form am talentless. and i know it's not exactly true cuz you still need to have skills to be able to utilize references properly yknow. but yea, brain stupid

at the risk of sounding butthurt for talking about not being butthurt: going through quals really prepared me for trawling through fandom meta and research while keeping my zen

hannibal SHOULD be a show i'm into, except that i just can't get over my squeamishness at non-hilarious cannibalism. like!!!!! gillian anderson looks very beautiful, like an old timey starlet, and eats her own god damned leg, i think?!?!?! i can't, CANNOT take that on right now (or ever)

fjkdfdjsl did gabriel ever find out miguel spent his teenage years dodging some of the worst bullying ever. god.

The way some of you are implying that MileApo have gotten that much screentime because they're the ones willing to fully lay it bare in front of the camera and supposedly have "no qualms about nudity and s*x" is such disgusting behavior.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being comfortable enough to show that, but your implications are undermining the dedication and work they've put into the KP project. KinnPorsche's relationship is beyond those NC scenes, don't get me started on how a huge chunk of the "fandom" complains everytime we get anything but tension and angst between Kinn and Porsche. It's just so weird that you guys can't stand to see these two's relationship thriving.

There's also a very simple reason at play — they are the leads. Say whatever you want but MileApo's portrayal of KinnPorsche is the heart of the show. That's more than enough of an explanation why we see them the most.

Also, blaming Apo and calling him a liar for supposedly leading you on? 🙄 The man simply said we'll be seeing more of the VegasPete story in the last 4 eps (in comparison to the previous 10). He never claimed that all those 4 eps will be majority (if not all) VP. Like?? Did some of you really think they'd shaft all the other characters, especially their leads, for VP? I firmly believe that Episode 11 is the most we'll see of them in an episode (they had atleast half the episode) and Episode 12 proved that to me.

The way I see it, some of you had extremely lofty expectations about your fave ship and are angry at the show for not matching up to your own expectations, so now you're taking it out on MileApo. If anything, take it up with BOC. Don't unnecessarily hate on MileApo for doing their jobs well.

every 3-6 months my opinon on nick locarno does a complete 180. it’s like hey buddy ✌️😁
