Everyone is talking about how cute this whole card was, but this moment had me thinking about how hard it must have been for Xavier and the other backtrackers to adjust to Earth and well... everything.

Like I wonder how hard it was for them to adjust to new foods, new (old? Ancient?) Tech, customs, clothing, everything.

Like it's clear from the main story that some of the Backtrackers are really struggling even after all this time, but I wonder how many faltered right at the beginning, and how hard, when they saw just how different it really all was. I mean, some people can't even manage to live in another country for an extended period of time, imagine living on an entirely different planet, in an entirely different time, with people who weren't even entirely your same species.

And, at the end of it, to develop a resistance to change, rather than to foster a healthy relationship with it, because of it? It's a coping mechanism, for sure, one we've seen from Xavier a couple of times actually.

All this was to say that in the midst of this tooth-achingly sweet moment, there was still a little bit of that "raw realness" that is always there with Xavier. He always seems to say the most accidentally sad things at the most random times.

twitter is mad at me but none of them will actually give me a legitimate reason outside of quote tweeting me on private accounts bc one person claimed my video about dutch demonized bipolar disorder but listed off a bunch of things i straight up never said or did in that video. so. that's interesting.

guys cmon. be ffr please. akemi did Not love taigen. the only reason why she was desperate to search for him to the point of putting herself in danger is because she didn't want to get married to an abusive man (which she believed at the time that takayoshi was). when seki tried to dissuade her from running off, her reason was not "but i love taigen and wanna be with him 🥺" it was because she refused to be controlled and have her autonomy taken from her; she literally says "i won't be locked away in edo married to a stranger." and when seki still tries to argue that getting married to the heir of the shogun would be better than getting caught by brigands, she then says "that kind of man"—referring to takayoshi—"treats women like animals. they say he's a tyrant." and when seki chuckles and says "what man isn't?" her response is "you." she doesn't even talk about taigen. she is using him as much as he was using her. they both see—or, well, saw—each other as means to an end. for taigen he saw that marrying into the tokunobu clan would elevate his status and wealth. for akemi she wanted the right to choose who she married, and she wanted that person to be someone kind. that's it! neither of them loved each other. but since they were courting of course they acted sweet to each other, and they do still care for one another, especially due to their romantic history. but let's be real! akemi is a boss bitch who dropped taigen and forgot all about his ass as soon as she saw takayoshi was a nice guy. because duh? not only is takayoshi a better lover (it's implied their lovemaking lasted a long time) but he's also kinder towards her and presents her with an opportunity to claim power and freedom, which she would not have if she had married taigen, as she would have still been stuck under her father's thumb. so literally why should she settle for taigen's stupid ass! she may be a little naive at times but she's still incredibly intelligent. she would not do something stupid for the sake of "love." you know who would though? taigen.

HEY POMNI!!!!!!!!

YOU'VE BEEN PSC'D, POMNI! BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING ON THEIR NEW ART STYLE!! AND THEIR VICTIM IS YOU!!!!

original under cut + silly little art rant as always

so ive been looking recently and i realised my art is ass. there's just no flavour and creativity to it, so i decided to put what i WANT my style to be into a drawing, and out came this!

i like the lineart and the pen i used for it; i was originally going to stick to the canon design like i always do but then i realised that's whats been holding me back, so i yassified her because im too cunty to function apparently...

but anyway im experimenting with tadc redesigns and redesigns IN GENERAL, so expect more like this i suppose...

"of all the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you?" (robby and johnny)

everything everywhere all at once (2022) // the right path (cobra kai) // kyoto (phoebe bridgers) // december 19 (cobra kai) // the karate kid (1984) // the fall (cobra kai) // the rise (cobra kai) // in newport i watch my father lay his cheek to a beached dolphin's wet back (ocean vuong) // aristotle and dante uncover the secrets of the universe (benjamin alire sáenz) // counterbalance (cobra kai) // pulpo (cobra kai) // now you're gonna pay (cobra kai) // "more time" (judd winick) // long, long way from home (cobra kai)

Akira can be invited literally anywhere and enjoy himself bc he just likes hanging w his friends all the time; hes the perfect parallel play buddy :) makes me think he was a bit of a social butterfly even before the Shido incident; he gets more energy being around his friends than being cooped up alone in that attic

Ghoulcy this ghoulcy that Max didn't learn what sex was, become a kinder person and then deliver a fake head to the Brotherhood KNOWING they'd probably kill him then basically mount the entire brotherhood to rescue her only for you to ship the two white people together

brainstorming for late qijiu week and my brain just came up with pelican SJ

yeah

since we've all been spending so much time listening to jonathan via @re-dracula i kind of wanted to know what ben galpin looks like and if he's been in anything i could watch

for starters i had somewhat assumed that his sweet, delicate voice was put on for the character, but idk certainly in his acting reel it seems like he always sounds this way :') what a charmer. anyway this reel seems to be from a long time ago just considering the fashion choices, so i also found some pics of him from various theatre productions...

then specifically these from a children's theatre production called 'the hunting of the snark' (based on a lewis carroll nonsense poem a la jabberwock) in a very fun little explorer number. it's a little steampunk, and he's delightful.

you can watch the whole thing too :')
