What are your thoughts (lorewise) on Warhammer fantasy so far and what's your favorite faction

i love skaven. ive been a skaven fan for like 20000 years ever since i briefly played actual tabletop. they're just funny little guys :)

when warhammer is good it's because it's embracing its original 80s gonzo spirit of 'just throw any old pop cultuire shit in there and figure it out later' -- i love how the skaven are, like, cartoon mad scientists with nuclear power and genetic engineering and also stupid rats who love scheming and betrayal anbd they waltz around with giant fucking flesh monsters and gatling guns and Combat Hamster Wheels. ther'es other stuff in this vein that's good too: orcs being english football hooligans is never going to stop delighting me, the tomb kings are a really cool concept, the vampire pirates (as far as i'm aware a CA invention?) are so fucking goofy and they rule so so hard.

overall though there's al ot of really really uncomfortable undertones to the world of warhammer fantasy. first of all there is the straight up racist shit, i love the lizardmen (i am currently deep into a mazdamundi campaign) and some of their lore is really interesting and in some ways avoids some of the common pitfalls of 'fantasy indigenous peoples'--it's made very clear they are an advanced society, technologically and socially complex, with a rich culture and history. but the lazy aping and blending of half-remembered maya/aztec aesthetics and the '''''funny''''' joke names they have and the fact that they are ancient and mystical and Not Of This Age just adds up to them being a really racist caricature of mesoamerican societies.

also WHF leans really really really hard into the biological determinism stuff. i love the skaven but the fact that they're a rapidly breeding menace that secretly infiltrates your cities and kidnaps people and gorge themselves on resources and have an Evil Religion and are As A Race predisposed to treachery and viciousness and are depicted as literal vermin brings to mind yknow the place all these tropes hold in the racist and antisemitic cultural imaginary and it definitely makes me kind of uncomfortable. i think the same can be said of the (also straight-up racist) depiction of beastmen as Tribes and Hordes that are very literally More Animal Than Human. like, there's so much of That Shit, of X Race are Biologically Fundamentally Like This, and the Like This often happens to coincide with a constellation of tropes used to demonize and justify the extermination of real people, and i really hate That Shit.

i also find the (also quite typical of fantasy) Order (Good) and Chaos (Evil) moral distinction to be pretty ideologically repugnant

so overall, yknow. mixed feelings innit. that said i'm having an absolute blast with TWWH2 this shit rules im driving my big dinosaur around and eating mother fuckers

#ask #also i have never once in my life thought about age of sigm ar

Reactions to Tsunami Creator's Chapter 167

TL;DR - Array spells everywhere. Cale saves Dokgo Chang. GoD in crisis. Invasion plans.

Soos? LSH = ✅ CJS = ✅

Array Spells Everywhere Much of the chapter was about these array formations/spells. They're the murim version of magic circles. These array spells covered the entire Yunnan Fortress, so no one could see what was inside.

However, our Raon also learned how to create array formations, using the statue of Jungwon as a medium something. As expected of our smart and great dragon! 😊

Cale Saves Dokgo Chang If you remember, Dokgo Chang was the one that first clashed with Elder Ho about Sword Demon. The Dokgo Clan had said that CJS was their benefactor. And they lived in Yunnan Province.

With the Blood Cult taking over Yunnan, the Dokgo clan got captured, and only Dokgo Chang managed to escape. Fortunately, Cale's group found him and treated his injuries. And Cale got a lot of info about what happened in Yunnan from him.

God of Death In Crisis?! Cale tried to contact Jungwon and GoD again. Jungwon did not reply, but GoD's reply was strange:

<I'm evacuating due to a sudden situation> <Reason for emergency: An outbreak of tyrants due to the strike declaration> <Jungwon did something.> <As expected, he's a fox too.>

Okay, let me interpret this... Jungwon rallied several worlds (that had hunters harassing them) and something happened, so they went on a strike? As for the sudden appearance of tyrants, I don't know... I'm as confused as Cale is. 😂

But GoD complimenting Jungwon as being a (sly and cunning) fox though... Ah, what happened to our innocent Jungwon?

Invasion Plans The rest of the chapter was about Cale's plans for the GED to invade Yunnan. HD would lead the Demon Cult's troops tomorrow. Sword Saint would come with the Namgung Clan forces. Sui would accompany the murim people in Sichuan. Good and Evil Factions would also arrive soon.

Which means that Cale will be creating a tsunami soon! Water AP is very excited, and I am excited to see if Cale will cough blood again... hehehe. 😄

Ending Remarks RidiBooks announced that we'll finally get ebooks for TCF on August 21. Of course, it's in Korean... 😒However! In celebration of that, Ridi is holding an event where the author will answer the questions of fans!

The author Q&A is from July 31 to August 2. The author will post her answers in a special feature to be released on August 21 too.

I had to use google translate to translate my English question to Korean. I asked about what Mary's hair color was. I mean, if author answered a certain hair color, that would disprove the Mary is bald theory, right? 😂

Oh yeah, what's the difference with 'dangsuk' and 'samchon'? I know they both mean 'uncle', but I don't understand why CJS differentiated that to call CH. I'm asking because there was a line where CJS stuttered, "I'll go with Raon and d-da-dangsuk, no, s-sa-samchon-" Cale used the samchon word to call CH though.

Milton Grimm should have been the Big Bad

This man. Is it obvious that I hate this man?

Look at him with that punchable face and that annoying little mustache. I just wanna rip those two sad little whiskers right off his smug, pudgy face.

This man should have been the main villain. The final boss. The endgame for the characters of Ever After High. But he wasn’t. He just fell into the background after Thronecoming. Sure, we got some Evil Queen action. But what was his reaction to the destruction of the Storybook of Legends, the symbol of tradition within their society?! He must have been p*ssed!!

But we never get to see it.

Milton Grimm is and should have been the main villain. Here’s why.

1. Crybaby Backstory.

Let’s face it. This attempt at a tragic backstory was underwhelming. To recap, Milton and his little brother Giles were best friends and shared opposite views than they did when they were adults. Because of this, Milton dragged Giles into a cave said to be inhabited by trolls because he was convinced it was only a story. Surprise, surprise: trolls are real (I mean, doi, kid! You live in a fairytale world. What did you expect?!) and Milton runs out of the cave, leaving baby Giles behind. Milton runs back to his father to get Giles back and Giles returns home, safe and sound. And out of guilt, Milton promises never to go against the stories again. Yay, happy ending.

But, it’s not.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think this backstory is enough justification for forcing an entire society to follow their parents’ (often terrible) stories. Yes, Milton was a child at the time, and he thought he had accidentally killed his younger brother. I can see how that experience would be traumatic for anyone. But, we know Giles is fine now and is actually more well-put together than his older brother. I think it would have been better if we say Giles’s POV from that day, actually have him meet the troll, have some tea with him or whatever, and have him hear the real story of the troll’s life. Giles could sympathize with the troll and learn not all stories should be followed.

What I can gather from this backstory is that it led Milton to develop crazy control issues. He and Giles built an entire school to indoctrinate several generations of fairytales. To ensure no one would go against what he saw as dangerous, he lied and basically threatened everyone “not existing” if they didn’t do what he said. Giles saw right through this BS, and when he confronted his brother about it, Milton cursed him to speak near-gibberish and locked him up underneath the school. This goes far beyond a Well-Intentioned Extremist.

2. Giles.

This man is a cinnamon roll and must be protected. Thank you.

Unlike Milton, Giles is warm, friendly, and open-minded to the stories the Brothers Grimm have collected over the centuries. He’s the former librarian, he has made personal connections with his students, and he sees them as people rather than characters. He is a clear foil to Raven, having gone against the status quo to make something better only to be quashed and locked away for it.

Yes, he did trick Raven, Maddie, and their friends into breaking his curse. (I’m pretty sure manipulation runs in the family). But, he deserves a win for what Milton put him through. And speaking plain English would have helped him and the girls more than having Maddie constantly translate for him (and in a language that is purposefully open to interpretation).

When Giles finally confronts Milton for what he did, I’m honestly disappointed. No, I don’t think Giles would have punched him in the face or anything. That’s too out of character for him. I was hoping Giles wouldn’t have forgiven him, or at the very least say something to the effect of “I forgive you, but that doesn’t mean I trust you.” Brother or not, I just can’t see anyone forgiving someone that quickly for what is basically impairment and imprisonment.

3. The Apple Debate

If Giles is a foil to Raven, then Milton is a foil to Apple.

Apple saw Milton and destiny as gospel. She was brought up, groomed, and traumatized into following destiny to a tee. Like Milton, she experienced a childhood trauma that made her believe destiny was the only way to stay safe. She has little to no regard for what others have to go through to follow her destiny. Her reasons seem petty and childish, but they make sense to her.

This is no fault of her own. She’s intentionally portrayed as naive, entitled, and selfish because she grew up in the most privileged of settings. She has the best destiny out of anyone, and growing up to be a beloved queen of the entire world sounds like a pretty sweet gig. She also holds genuine, if misguided, care for her friends and terrified for them if they don’t follow their stories (in a “I’m trying to save your soul from damnation” type of way).

She is also the daughter of one of the most influential political figures in the world, so she has to set an example. She puts so much pressure on herself to be perfect that she walks around blind. She needs glasses, but she can’t bring herself to show any sort of flaw about herself lest she lets everyone down.

Lastly, Apple is a child. She has room to grow and change like everyone else in their teenage years. Like Raven, she has time to figure herself out and could benefit from some self-reflection.

That being said, Milton is an adult. And he has been an adult for at least 200 years. He’s had time to look over his actions and think “Hmm, maybe what I’m doing is borderline dictatorial.” Yet he never wavers from his position. He has never admitted that he was wrong about anything or apologized for anything he’s done in regard to his students’ lives. Meanwhile, Apple has gone through some genuine growth as a character and as a person, because she loves her friends. It would have been interesting to see what Milton would think about his star, his favorite, his most devoted follower, suddenly turning on him.

4. The Redemption “Arc”

It felt more like a redemption splat than an arc. In my opinion, Milton didn’t deserve to be redeemed. At the very least, not this quickly. He would have made a fantastic antagonist to Raven. It would have been so exciting and frustrating to watch him tighten the reins even more on his students until they ended up all turning on him. It would have been a great commentary on authority, freedom, and societal views on individuality. But instead, we get brotherly moments in the background with him and Giles. I’ll admit, it’s kind of cute. But, this show’s conflict was created by Milton Grimm, and the show just left that plot point hanging.

Milton should have stuck to his guns for much longer, have him be the stubborn old man who will not budge on his beliefs. If you are to give him a redemption arc, have him realize his mistake after it’s too late. The final showdown between him and his fed-up students would be so much more satisfying than what we got. Please, for the love of God, Mattel! Bring this show back so we can do this story done proper.

play us out Roundabout! 💃 🕺

of course I had to make a JoJo reference -- Dante’s English VA is Dio’s!!

So like, real shit, pretty much nothing of what we see of Dante's thoughts, words or actions is congruent with Lucius's plans...

Lucius calls himself "savior of the world."

Dante says "If you're calling me evil though, I take that as a compliment"

Dante straight-up laughs and says that Yami is "going to open up a world that's far more magnificent!!" which is "A world crawling with devils. A place that will brim over with every sort of malice." – and Dante is "really looking forward to this!!"

Lucius's mission "For the sake of true peace, a peace without sadness or hatred, war or discrimination." Where he'll "repair all humans" and "make them into fortunate people who are equal in every respect."

Dante meanwhile "Animals have no malice. It's the supreme emotion, one that only humans developed! You must have felt it yourself. Anger. Hatred. Revenge. Destruction! The power of malice!! When you unleash your darkest emotions... that's when you're most human. Evil is the true shape of humanity."

and he repeatedly thanks and compliments Yami for making him feel new malice and jealousy

When Lucius grabs Sister Lily he says "Let me show you a human who is truly happy." Which apparently to him means brainwashing and paladinizing them.

Lucius calls Asta a flaw and wants to eliminate him.

Dante is apparently amused by Asta and says:

"Even if our ranks are different, we're both possessed by devils. We should be able to see eye to eye."

When Asta rejects Dante's ideas, Dante goes "I guess there's no choice. I'll wake up your true feelings for you" and stabs Gauche. In Dante's undeniably fucked-up view, he's doing Asta a favor

He's happy when Asta goes berserk, even saying "Now that's what makes you human!!!"

And as Asta is losing it, he says "I wanted to get your story... but you're out of control, and I guess now isn't the time."

He apparently genuinely wanted to have a chat with Asta. It's true that Dante beats Asta up, but as we see later, Dante could've done so much worse to him. He could've ripped him apart if he actually felt like it. Arguably, that beating was Dante going easy on Asta. Not only that, when Dante is asking Yami how he acquired "so many people with such unique magic" the panel shows Vanessa, Grey and berserk Asta.

I guess he was going to take all of them with him? I don't think Dante is as...interested in Asta the way he is with Yami but he does seem keen on bringing Asta to the dark side [insert "don't you want to go ape shit" meme here]

(also I've actually seen quite a bit of art where Dante adopts Asta 😁)

And then to top it off, Dante's moment of... dare I say... vulnerability with Yami. "I was bored. Tired of everything. Nothing... satisfied my malice." If you look at the page...

–this apparently includes the freaking coup and killing the king. Dante already had devil power at that time, but he still wasn't happy...

Either there's an actual rift between Dante and Lucius, or one of them came along later than some of you would like to believe.

#black clover spoilers #dante zogratis #lucius zogratis #long post #black clover #julius novachrono #*hits metaphorical blunt*#broke: dante stopping lucius because he's turned good #bespoke: dante stopping lucius because he thinks his plan is boring #i've seen the light: there's actual comedic potential #in dante being embarrassed by/ashamed of lucius #happy late birthday dante

It's pinned post time!

Hi I'm Whaley. My blog name is a bad pun and that tells you a lot about me as a person.

You can tag me in everything and send me all the weird/funny/interesting things you can think of. I do read asks and stuff but the speed at which I answer them is very variable. Don't take it personally, it generally means I am thinking very hard about it.

I love nature and biology and if you are mean towards bugs or slugs or deep sea fish or anything like that I will Judge you.

I reblog what I want and I leave my (amazing, clever, riveting) commentary in the tags most of the time. If you are here then you are not allowed to complain about that.

I am Not French despite many evidence to the contrary. Paradoxically (not really) my first language is still French and not English. I apologize if what I write is not always comprehensible.

As I said I LOVE tagging posts and you are very welcome to go through the various tags I use on my blog by using the 🔍 up there.

Ok that's about it. Have fun, be nice <2 !

My tags

Whaley's Fav Tag <- lots of things I like. Art, cool stuff, whatever. Occasionally I'll go through this one and reblog something.

efmb <- a.k.a endless forms most beautiful, for cool beasts, plants and others

falling angel meets rising ape <- that one isn't abridged because I wrote it like that the first time (and famra sounds like an evil company in a superhero movie). The quote is from Reaper Man (Terry Pratchett) and it's for people being people (complimentary).

Whaley works <- didn't get much use yet, but it's for when I get motivated to do my assignment by writing them here. Usually really confused, I don't especially recommend looking at this one

Fandoms are generally tagged broadly, but I don't really tag characters in what I reblog unless I get into a specific mood.

science <- general tag for scientific things, including math.

I tag some sorts of animals, cats among others.

#mine #pinned post #that seems to be the done thing around here

Wait why do you mean Asthon (your vicar oc) is cut content?! Bro is real? Like really real?! Wait you got me curious. (or is it just about the fact that we don't know in detail the other vicars? I personally headcanon the woman praying in the grand cathedral of the nightmare as (one) the Vicar between Laurence and Amelia)

Argh, well, it is complicated! Yes, he is very OC-ish, but the thing is, this name WAS featured in cut content:

( x )

Basically, at some point, the names were switched, and Willem was called Laurence, the scholar that detracted from him was called Ashton, when actual Willem was also 'husk of Micolash', when there was also another face featured, called Herbert (Norbert in English)! Like, I think you know most of the cut content by now, but yeah, some names are obscure.

(It is also this same site in which I've learned that Norbert's name was also mistranslated! ヘルベルト is 'Heruberuto', and Lance McDolands also noticed that before in this ( x ) Tweet!)

You might recognise the first dialogue, too! Micolash has some voice files for cut dialogue ( x ), it was a little mistranslated, hence I am using this Japanese site, but the gist is still here!

So, yeah... Ashton and Herbert are the only names mentioned across the cut content that appear to be same/close in status to what Laurence and Emilia are! That's why I just took what I could, and in my thing there were four Healing Church heads in total; Laurence, Ashton, Herbert and Emilia, in this order! And each would bring something different during their era. In fact, I did want to make a line-up explaining who did what - whereas Laurence is self-explanatory, it is worth to mention how Healing Church was living after Laurence became a beast. But like, I first want to finalize the DRIP designs for them all, and I can't even get past Laurence's one already, because I am always distracted/working/sick/dead/etc fdsjhfh

Like, yeah, basically they're 'OCs with a prompt', since I had to design and write literally everything about them, but I still consider them to be revived cut content, because I hate giving myself any credit. xd

Fun fact! Ashton can also be a female name! I really wish I learned of it before I already wrote him as a male character, because we do need more nasty, evil women. But I tend to be a little rigid when I've already written a character in a certain way. Not gonna lie though, I often consider retconing him as a female character, because explain me how, HOW you can have """too many""" female villains? For now though he just really loves feminine things. Same as Damian. Or Micolash. Or Valtr. Or Ludwig. ...damn, I like slapping feminine aesthetic like FLEX APE too much, even where it doesn't quite fit. MOTHER OF MERGO, I AM-

(It's just an inside joke. It's funny because Gehrman would've dressed every hunter into a pretty dress if he could. xd)

But yeah, basically, I took what I could from the cut content, and tried to base my ideas on what it gave us. So, if Ashton used to be someone under Laurence - then that should be the dynamic in my thing too! So, underling of him in Healing Church, and the next vicar. Herbert was also mentioned to have been a previous leader of the Church, so that was saved too!

Fun fact - because Emilia used to be named Laura in cut content, I also have a secret 5th Vicar that went unused, with Laura being Herbert's daughter that didn't get to live to be the next Vicar. Well, TECHNICALLY, she is still alive! Remember that big Celestial Emissary in orphanage, who acts like the 'leader', and also, interesingly, drops Communion rune? I headcanon that the emissaries in that Orphanage are children that were taught to Think With Cosmos by the Choir, and Laura used to be their overseer while Herbert was at the position and she had not too much to do. But more or less, she refused to abandon the children when Croir's base crumbled the hell out, and sort of ascended with them. In either case, this is not quite Laura anymore.. But, after Orphanage got nuked, Herbert was the one to take in orphans that he could take and raise them within the walls of the Healing Church! Like I mentioned, Adella was one of kids (well, teens) he basically adopted. But she had the biggest adopted daughter energy to him, hence she became a successor.

Ashton, though? Honestly, he started and is still going as my "punching bag" djfdshfd I did not want to use Laurence as obligatory 'evil cleric' at the time, since he had too much tragedy potential, and too much complexity. But yes, Ashton is more or less the combination of some traits I just looooooove. -_- Self-projecting, bullying people for what he himself has, provoking someone to feel a certain way and then blaming their reaction as them being "insane" or "irrational", fuckin'... flirting with someone and when they start returning the h0rny, blaming them for "daring" to think that he, such a HOOOOOOLY man, would EVER feel this way, and force them to apologize etc etc dshdh + Every time I reblog that video where a woman pushes a priest off the platform, I caption it as 'this is Rom when Ashton was being homophobic' and it is still canon, so that too.

Like... I can write a list that will actually make your phone lag upon scrolling so much, but you already get the idea of what type of a person he is. However yeah, jokes or not, but he managed to gain enough of reputation of a 'saint', by both appearing rather oppressive in demeanor and by secretly normalizing cannibalism (he'd sometimes feed people concerned with falling into beasthood meat or blood of enemies of the Healing Church, that they'd not know about, but they'd feel "easier' after that (of course...), and would be easily gaslit by Ashton into thinking that he had something personally to do with it, to offer remedy :') Like... It was kind of a big deal while it lasted. That you didn't have to be burnt/shot/trapped into one of those coffins if you start feeling beasthood but you could like, idk, talk with Ashton and feel better? I love to think that his beast form would reflect that, where his back would resemble a Kin way more than a beast, and you'd only see his hideous true form when he turns around! So yeah, like 'wolf in a sheep clothing' sorta!!)

______________

But yeah, these are the ideas! I really love the guy, but at the same time a lot about him comes from a couple of years ago, when my knowledge on Bloodborne lore was a bit limited, so for now I question whether Ashton "stole" too much from the thing LAURENCE should've been doing during his corruption arc. So yes, just take it as me tossing ideas around. Thank you for the ask, I really needed to revisit this stuff!

Just some filler from the book I started writing🤷‍♀️

____________________

Life.

In the English dictionary, life can be defined as the existence of an individual, human being or animal.

In philosophy, life is the aspect of existence that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves through growth.

It is the state of which an organism is still performing the acts that prevents passing.

Life is something that everyone on this earth experiences from the day conceived from within the womb.

Birth is the first breath, sound, step into life. Life is eternal.

—————————

Death.

The destruction or permanent end of something.

Or in philosophy, death is typically regarded as a great evil, especially if it strikes someone too soon.

It is the state of which an organism stops doing acts needed to survive completely.

Death is an inescapable goodbye.

Life may be eternal,

But death is even more so.

—————————

Life and death.

Two contrasting concepts used to signify the beginning and end of existence as we know it.

The start and finish of any scene. The white and black of any rainbow. Good, and bad, of every outcome.

Many think that they are complete opposites. That they have nothing in common. But what if I told you they have many similarities?

It sounds odd, doesn't it? But believe me when I say that life and death aren't entirely different.

One thing they have in common is that both are questions unanswered.

Many people ask what is life? What is the meaning of life? Or the most popular being: Who made life? What made life? Where did it come from?

Opinions worldwide differ from 'we evolved from apes' to 'the universe was created by the big bang'

Another theory would be we were made by gods. Supreme deity that had existed before existence itself. And different cultures have different gods.

I don't know the answer to that, nor do I choose to have an opinion.

On the opposing side, people ask, 'where do you go when you die?'

Some believe when you die, you go to heaven if you were good in your life, and hell if you were bad.

Others believe you will be reincarnated into another body without your memories.

Another lot says you will just be gone. No way to be aware of whom, where or what you are.

Again, I don't know which is right or wrong. All I do know is that people fear both concepts.

You see, we humans are incredibly cowardly creatures. We fear what we do not understand. Thus, we created theories to pretend to be brave and answer what we do not know

People debate which is scarier between the two. Most say death, I don't blame them, though. Only those who have experienced it can truly comprehend what it is.

A smaller amount, says life. I don't blame them, either. The longer we exist on this earth, the more we try to build our society to fit the different ideals of our vast majority.

Different motives and comments flowing and crashing in on each other like an ocean filled to the brim of waste and useless material.

Making it difficult for those with less like them to prosper. No, I don't blame them at all.

But at the same time, I don't agree with either of these options.

No, I think the both of them are incredibly terrifying.

That little space where one hangs in the balance between the both of them, and it only takes one action to tip the scale in favor of one.

That space where you're so close to death, but not quite there yet. So close that you can see your entire life flash before your eyes and then abruptly stop when you reach where you are at the time. Like a cliffhanger to a suspenseful blockbuster.

I tell you this, so you know this is my position right now.

The moment those words spilled from the vice principals mouth. I knew that my death was set in stone.

Because I knew that the moment they saw me, I was involved. My ghost was soon to walk the living realm.

And no, I don't believe in ghosts. In fact, their existence is an entirely different story, meant to be told by an entirely different person.

If I were to use them in this context, though. I would say, 'the ghosts of my past have come back to haunt me.'

An expression that means the actions you performed in the past left unfinished are still in effect.

What I mean by that is I wish I didn't go back for my notebook last night. Because now it's my problem.

There is nothing more terrifying than being alive knowing that you're going to die.

_______________________

If you have any advice or feedback than that would be appreciated 😁🙃

What does this say about the author anon, no you're exactly right! As an English major I'm basically going to collage for this kind of media analysis, and i took a class that was specifically about reading for intersectionality in texts, and every book we'd read in that class we would go through and say 'what was the author trying to say with this detail, what does that say about the author' then go through and look for other potential readings (the example that comes to mind is a queer reading of passing by Nella Larson, which isn't About queer attraction it's about being a white passing black woman in the 1920s, but there is absolutely a Sapphic reading to be had there) and it really opened my eyes to how... silly so much fandom stuff is lol

If you focus solely on any one of those schools of analysis (in a fandom sense specifically here), you get the 'death of the author fanon rulzz!!' people and the idea that ships should be canon or bust, which.. I mean I'm not the fandom police or anything what do I care but it's not how I want to interact with things I like you know?

I dont really have a point with this, I just like rambling about literary analysis :p uhhh medic tf2 boobs there now we're back on track

YEAH! I have not and have no plans to go to college to study English, but I have taken multiple AP English courses and just in general like, read a lot and have parents who read a lot and when u do literary analysis, you approach it from different angles! Lately I've been watching Breaking Bad, which is a very big boy smart show with lots of themes and symbols and etc that really invites academic analysis, and I have done analysis of the masculinity theme, I understand what it means for the "canon" of the text, and I STILL have a trans Jesse read that I think holds up to the content and themes of the text, even if it's not "canon" (for anyone curious I think both transmasculine and transfeminine Jesse hold equal amounts of water, the trans experience can be a lot more shared than u think!). Uhhh lemme bring it back to tf2 to justify this being on this blog: I also don't think u should just "fuck canon", everyone knows I bemoan "soft boy Medic" and "evil grimdark sicko Medic" and etc characterization, but I also don't think that the fine print of "canon" should be treated as the end-all be-all! I don't care if Medic tf2 isn't "canonically" gay or trans or Jewish or autistic or rawdogging Heavy every night or what, I don't even care if he doesn't "canonically" have fat titties! I've academically analyzed tf2 and decided that "Medic tf2 has fat titties" is a VALID academic read based on what is presented to me by the text and I encourage you all to do the same. Art "belongs" to the audience just as much as it does to the creator! Have fun!

#ask #anon #this is soooo fun i love this. i'm such a cool smart boy everyone give me attention #thank u for taking me seriously anon btw soooo many people brush off these conversations #'it's not that deep' 'that's not what the author intended so shut up' etc etc. snore

First chapter in Brush Fire, my shovel-talk fic wherein random adults and people in Billy’s life give Steve the shovel talk as the two fall, painfully, in love.

One: Carol

Thing is, Billy’s just Nancy Wheeler painted in contrasting shades of bullshit.

And Steve can’t pinpoint the day Hargrove turned into Billy, into a kaleidoscope that bleeds beyond asshole and dickwipe and evil step-brother, but really it’s all a side effect. A symptom of what’s coming, like a cough he doesn’t notice until it’s too late.

‘Cause at the end of the day Billy’s smart and Steve.

He’s got a thing for Brainiacs.

The kind of smarts that could win bar trivia. Pay for a vacation to Europe with the money from an episode of Pyramid. Even better if the guy’s got claws. Pretty eyes that narrow alongside cheeks that blush pink and red, like gumdrops.

“Help me write my essay,” Steve tells him, waiting outside Billy’s Advanced College Placement class with his collar popped.

Billy’s smiling before Steve speaks to him. He’s chatting, limbs soft and smile wide, dorky, and then he hears that voice. Goes shocked still. Looks like he’s gonna piss his pants.

“I’ll, uh, see ya later, Bills,” Says that girl. Barb Holland. She pokes at the bridge of her glasses and disappears around the corner, shooting these worried little glances at Billy like he can’t take care of himself. Like he isn’t Hawkins High’s resident bad boy, player, macho-nacho–-

“What do you want, Harrington?”

Billy’s teeth were pretty, Steve notes, when he was smiling. When he was happy. Now he's got this searing little twist to his lip, saddled with this sudden crash to reality. Steve shoves off the locker to make room for a pee-wee dork that says excuse me, calculating the way Billy’s baby blues have gone dry.

He’s exhausted and tired of it. Sick down to his fifteen-pack abs.

“I want you to write my essay,” Steve repeats, thinking if he’s more direct Billy will go for it.

Hargrove puffs out his chest. Squares his jaw. “Fuck no.” He says. Needing the fight.

“Wasn’t asking,” Steve says.

“I’m not writing your essay for you, dickweed.”

“Yeah? Why not?”

“'cause no one’s gonna believe you can spell multi-syllable words,” Billy spits, “And I’m not dumbing myself down to whatever kindergarten level class you’re taking–-”

“God, you’re a menace. You’re a forest fire.”

Billy’s cheeks flare at that. Bright red, freckles punching through like holes in notebook paper and Steve knows it.

He’s got him. Hook and line, just like Nancy, but then Billy’s walking off down the hallway. Leaning in a little hard with his boots, stomping holes into the cement.

Steve follows after him. Says, “I’ll pay you.”

And Billy says, “I don’t want your money.”

That makes Steve laugh. Loud and sudden. “Everyone wants my money.”

“Everyone wants you, right? King Steve. Whole place’d probably shut down if you graduated, right? Need the golden boy around. The gold eggs he lays in the shit-covered green just outside B-Hall,” Hargrove leads them round the corner, stopping to dial and yank his locker open. “God, you’re a fucker–”

“And you’ve got the highest marks in AP English,” Steve says. He leans against the metal closest to Billy, foot propped to pass the time.

He'll wait.

He’s already won. He’s got what he came here for, but Billy needs time to work it out for himself. All those brains behind pretty blonde princess curls and Billy devotes all his energy to the glare Steve's pinned with. Billy hisses and spits like a drowned kitten, thinking he’s tough.

“Not wasting my time on you, Harrington,” Billy says. Like it’s supposed to hurt. “You’re a lost cause. Might as well get Wheeler to suck your dick and write that shit for you-–”

“Watch your mouth," Steve says gently.

Gotta be patient. Give the boy room to think it over, run it back, mold his pretty pinks into an apology.

"Nancy and I broke up," Steve says, like it matters.

Like the way his voice still hitches a little, at the end, shaky and vulnerable, will make a difference.

It does and it doesn't. "What would you even write about," Billy demands, ignoring him. "Being rich? How it feels to be born with a silver fucking spoon in your mouth?"

Steve tenses all over, poised to take the heat of Billy's onslaught if it'll get him what he wants.

Billy lens in presses harder. "Oh, what about the way you're a washed-up beauty queen? You gonna cry about the hours and hours you put into impressing the cows around here only to have them run right over your perfect hair to get to the next freak on the list?"

Steve won't bite. "You think my hair's perfect?"

And maybe that's a step too far.

Billy grips the metal locker so tight the thing almost groans, baby blues laced with a challenge. That little lip twist has turned into a snarl and Steve.

Almost backs away.

Almost backs down.

But the flush is packed on like fresh snow, glittering and saturated with pinks and magentas. Steve really does need help with his essay, so he leans closer. Says, "What can I do to get your help on this?"

And waits for the walls to crumble around them.

“You’re not fooling anyone, Harrington,” Carol says. "You think you've got this whole school wrapped around your fingers but I see what you're doing."

And Steve knows it's Carol without having to look up from the pin-lanes scribbled in red across his essay. Knows it without swallowing the tucked-away mashed potatoes at the corner of his mouth. Knows her voice like he knew the chimes that signaled the end of nap time, all those years ago. The stick of a bandaid peeled from her skin and patted, harshly, onto his before another go on the tire swing.

He doesn’t look up at her to point out that, “If I were smart enough to fool anyone I wouldn’t need help editing this fuckin’ thing.”

But Carol doesn’t stop. Keeps rolling on. Says, in that special shade of periwinkle irritation that she used to save for Tommy, “You could’ve asked someone else.”

Steve glances at her. Notices her hair’s different. “What do you mean?”

“Billy,” Carol spits. Word travels fast. She looks over her shoulder. Scans the lunch room as if afraid that he’ll spring up from the linoleum. Knock the tray out of her fist, or something. She turns back, eyes narrowed. “You could’ve asked anyone else–-”

“He’s got the best marks in English.”

“So?”

“Like I’m gonna hinge my future on someone with anything less than a perfect grade,” Steve chuckles, trying to change its tune somewhere in the middle so Carol doesn’t take this as a notice of war. “Look, the guy’s my ticket outta this shithole.”

“Harrington, you’re stuck. Like the rest of us.” Carol says.

And the thing is? Carol was the first girl who proved chicks could be cool and dangerous and three-dimensional. They were flirts at one point and friends, way before that, giggles and weekend sleepovers stretching all the way back to a blue, cloud-covered room Steve can hardly remember, so.

He knows Carol.

Maybe not as well as he used to, but. He knows the girl. Feels like she’s got his neck in her fist, from how tight she’s gripping the lunch tray. Senses that if he makes one step out of line, she’ll dig her fangs into him.

“What’s your deal, Perkins?”

Carol’s eyes could melt through bone.

Steve takes the last bite of his mashed potatoes before shoving his tray to the other side of the table. “You got a crush on him or something?"

"What?" Carol says, incredulous.

"Look, I know you're sweet on him--"

"Harrington, you're such a skeez if you thought, for even a minute that I'd ever do that to Tommy--"

"Alright, you're friends will Billy, then," Steve says, exhausted from the theatrics. "You're like his scary big sister, protecting him from the wolf in GAP clothing."

"You're such a dumbass," Carol groans, like Steve's whole thing is getting old and she wishes he'd call it a day. "Why don't you beg Wheeler to tutor you?"

"This conversation is melting my brain."

"Seriously, it's not like she'd say no," Carol says, "She's still got a soft spot for you even if Byers is stuffing her full on a daily basis--"

"--Billy's got a better grade than Nance--"

"--I mean, seriously. Couldn't you pick on someone in your own academic caste?"

"Jesus, Carol, why do you care so much?" Steve drops the act, the good-natured small talk for old time's sake, and lets his words land like fists on the rickety table top.

All at once, Carol looks older. Wiser and mean and so, so worried.

"You know what your problem is, Harrington?"

"Enlighten me," Steve says, bored.

"You've never been told no a day in your life."

Billy walks through the lunchroom doors, then, a copy of Moby Dick under one arm and a spiral notebook snatched under the base of his lunch tray. His arms, stiff with forced swagger as he scans the crowd for Steve, jerk when they spot one another.

His cheeks are pink.

From a million miles away, swimming through a river of pissed-off Perkins, Steve can see it.

"That boy isn't any different from the rest of us," Carol says tightly. She grips her own lunch tray, and says, "He's sensitive."

Steve opens his mouth to shit all over the floor, and.

"He is," Carol tells him. "Think whatever you want to but I know him. Billy's rough around the edges but he's smart. Too smart for his own good--"

"Smart enough to deal with me?"

Carol's mouth snaps shut, frowning as Steve moves his lunch tray and Billy floats into view.

"Harrington," He says sharply. Then, to Carol, "Perch Perkins, looking frosty today."

"Fuck off, Malibu Barbie," Carol says, but there's a softness there that takes Steve back to kindergarten.

He swallows against a pang of jealousy, tracking the way her eyes go warm for this asshole.

Billy tacks a wet kiss to her forehead and then plops down onto the bench across from Steve, flipping to a blank page in his notebook, and Carol sulks away, looking every bit like she'd burn down the world to protect him.

Steve wishes he had been smart enough to recognize that conversation for what it was.

The first in a long line of people that, in the pit of themselves, for better or worse, whether they knew it or not: loved Billy Hargrove.

For the weird writer questions (I stopped myself from picking One Million I really like these questions)

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

I was mostly just okay at English growing up. Interestingly enough, the first person to ever tell me I was a good writer was a teacher I didn’t even have 😂

She was this really cool AP teacher. I had surgery when I was in high school and had to relearn how to walk and shit and in that downtime, I had to have tutors. She volunteered to be my English tutor because no one else wanted to. Like, literally. They thought I was satanic and evil and didn’t want to come to my families scary house. Anyway, she was the sweetest (funny enough, she was a minister with a phd) and she read one of my short stories for class and told me I was an incredibly talented writer and I should think about getting into writing more.

I didn’t really listen to her and figured she was just being nice to the (sorry for the slur) small town cripple. I did end up writing a lot of music in the same time period and I got pretty good at lyrics. But I didn’t go to college for English. I ended up dropping out of school and getting a GED. I wrote about my father for my assessment and the instructor cried reading it which was embarrassing. She kept it as a reference for their classes, which I still think is very sweet.

Anyway, I stopped writing after that for a long time. Just got back into it over the last couple of years! But those are some random pivotal moments in my life agsgshkgkfk

My Tarzan Meta pt. 1

Here are some of the important differences between Disney's Tarzan and the book's Tarzan. Merely important because I'm going to use more of the literary version of Tarzan to Disney's, at least in some places. Of course, will keep the Disney version of him available because I like his Disney version too.

Tarzan taught himself to read and write English long before he heard the language spoken. He came upon the cabin painstakingly built by his father alone, and learned that the words in the books inside meant something. Studying children's books and the dictionary over several years until he was able to read nearly every book within the cabin. By the time Jane Porter and her group were marooned on the beach near the forest he was a fluent reader and writer of the language.

Kerchak was not his foster father, in fact, he wasn't even Kala's Mate. Tublat was the mate of Kala and when she took Tarzan in the only reason it was allowed was that Kala threatened to leave the herd otherwise. And neither Kerchak nor Tublat wanted to lose such a woman.

Tublat hated Tarzan, like severely. And so Tarzan hated him and did everything in his power to make the old ape's life a living hell.

Tarzan taught himself how to use many weapons in his regular arsenal. Braiding his own rope out of grasses and learning to catch prey by around their necks, finding his father's hunting knife which has saved him since the first time he was forced to fight a gorilla, stealing bow and arrows from a nearby tribe, and teaching himself to shoot.

Both Tublat and Kerchak eventually attacked Tarzan. Both are killed through a mixture of brute strength, Tarzan's speed and agility, as well as his discovering the partial and full Nelson hold. Along with his father's knife. This leads to him becoming King of the Apes.

After the murder of his mother, Kala, Tarzan eventually finds little reason to remain with the apes. He realizes that he is a man and too intelligent to continue living among them. Letting them know they would need to choose a new king he takes his leave of them. Coincidentally this is when Jane shows up, and he falls in love at first sight.

He is not afraid to kill, he hunted much for food and defended himself from predatory animals. Also following the death of Kala at the hands of a hunter of a nearby tribe of cannibals, he killed for vengeance. And then continued to kill the tribesmen for their arrows, jewelry, and (eventually thought he'd spent most of his life naked) a loincloth for clothing. Did not take long for the Mbongan tribe to regard him as an evil spirit, a ghost of the jungle in the trees, who killed all who laid eyes upon him.

Learning insanely quickly he has picked up on a few languages. His first fluently spoken language was French after saving a French officer from his death at the hands of the cannibal tribe of Mbonga. Nursing the officer to health and forging a strong friendship. He also has learned to speak English, has picked up Arabic, and of course can speak many languages of the animals.

The rhythmic cry he makes in films is very different from the books. In the books, this is a terrifying guttural cry of the bull apes that strikes fear into all animals in the forest following their kills. This sound he makes every time he kills, including even when he becomes more civilized often because upon being forced to kill he forgets the civilized part of himself and becomes the savage ape-man again.

How did you learn to speak English... Your writing is so elegant, I can't do it with my limited public school vocabulary... I don't want more tenses in sentences! I'm not even sure whether that is well written!

Wikihow tutorial how to learn a new language with zero motivation (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)

Good God, Spanish is supposed to be a very difficult language, I'm really good at speaking it and conjugating verbs, but I'm terrible at English! I refuse to lower my grades, send help

ALR I GOTCHU BBG

So how I learned to write is by reading

Like I read a lot when I was a kid; Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Warriors, School of Good and Evil, etc

I also started writing early on too, like I started writing fanfiction when I was about 9. Was it good? Not really but hey I liked it

English is a stupidly complicated language, but like all languages, you have to practice it to get better. Read other people's essays, other books, and study how they write. There's also a book called the Elements of Style that I had to read last year in AP Language and Composition that really helped me with Grammer (and taught me how to use semicolons). If you have the time, I recommend you check that out !!

But yeah !! Everyone has their own style, and what I like to do is when I read stories, fanfiction, or manwha, when there's something that hits me really hard, I rewind and try to figure out why it made me feel that way. Try different things out and see what you like!

Also with essays, with English you want to keep your vocabulary broad and incorporate your evidence seamlessly (make it a habit to not say "Author states" or smth to that degree. Use action verbs such as describes, argues, articulates, reiterates, etc.). Write as though you're talking, keep it formal, but also keep it smooth.

ALSO SPANISH GOOD LORD THAT HURT ME WHEN I LEARNED IT CONJUGATING PHYSICALLY KILLED ME BUT SPANISH AND ENGLISH ARE KINDA ??? SIMILAR spanish easier to pronounce tho .... SO U SHOULD BE FINE

Comics this week?

Action Comics #1057 - If this is the last arc for both the way I suspect I'm going to miss Sandoval just as much as PKJ. Like Sampere and Federeci he's an artist who could be a generational Superman creator but may be getting snatched away too soon. This issue is mainly just an interview between Clark and Norah, and in the hands of a lesser artist it would just be boring talking heads. Sandoval's portrayal of Clark using his powers to detect whether Norah is lying during the interview keeps the tension high, loved how he depicted Clark's x-ray vision and superhearing. Pretty obvious that Norah is an infiltrator sent by the Empire of Shadows (the evil Dark Multiverse Batfamily from the Batman/Superman & the Authority one shot that PKJ did). If this is the ending arc for PKJ, the Superfamily vs. the Evil Batfamily is a great idea for an ending.

Flash #1 - Good first issue, sets up an interesting Speed Force plot even though I've felt worn out on the Speed Force. Been out of the loop with Flash for a while and this did a good job of getting me up to speed (heh). Dedato art isn't a great fit with a speedster - conveying motion is something he's bad at - but it does suit the grim tone. Spurrier is a writer who loves to pack his issues with as much words as he can, which has the upside of making the issue take longer to read. Seems the comic industry is switching back to compression after two decades plus with everyone trying to ape the Bendis decompressed style. It's a welcome change because if you're going to charge me $5 an issue, it damn well better take me longer than 5 minutes to read.

Detective Comics #1074 - Probably my favorite issue of the run thus far, Nguyen is a treasure. Watters needs his own Ten-Eyed Man mini.

The Penguin #2 - The lesser King work with WW on the stands but still good!

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #6 - Burnham draws the hell out of the fight scenes and it was great to see old Morrison characters like Quiz. Kinda the perfect counter to Jane having every superpower ever just doled out to different identities.

Blade #3 - Slows down a bit but the Adana is such a cool bad guy and I'm loving the buildup to Blade's fight. Plus Blade keeps being the coolest motherfucker in the MU.

Immortal Thor #2 - Not feeling the new Loki design and Ewing is struggling with writing fight scenes as always, but man is that art gorgeous otherwise. Thought bubbles are such a perfect choice here because they are the equivalent of Shakespearean English for comics in terms of conveying "this is old school storytelling". Compliments Ewing trying to write a Thor run in the vein of the actual myths.

Avengers #5 - At this point it's a solid run, but not as great as his Strange book. Need to cut back so I'm dropping this.

Ultimate Invasion #4 - Oh boy do I have thoughts! So many I need to bullet point them!

Hickman has flipped the plot from Ultimates 2. Here the 6160 Ultimates are positioned like the 1610 Liberators in that they are going to be fighting to destroy the status quo, with Capitan America presumably leading the charge. Or maybe it will be Black Panther as the leader since he presumably will be housing the Ultimates in the one place not under the Illuminati's control: Wakanda.

Nothing gets erased via time travel which surprised me. For better or worse, this is what the new Ultimate Universe will be. No traditional take on Ultimate Fantastic Four ever since Ben, Sue, and Johnny are all dead and Reed is a good version of Doom. Reed will be on the Ultimates because Hickman can't leave his boy on the sidelines for long. Clearly Hickman will be writing Ultimates since I can't imagine anyone else wanting to write that kind of lineup with this weird a status quo. What the hell an Ultimate X-Men book is going to look like is anyone's guess.

Hickman has three big plotlines seeded here: The Illuminati carving up America and the Ultimates fighting back. The Maker, Kang, and Howard all trapped in the City which is sealed now but will open again one day. Tony Stark is "Iron Lad" which is meant to make us believe he is also Ultimate Kang, whether that's a red herring or a destiny Tony must face one day remains to be seen.

Other big plot thread is that one day the 616 Illuminati are going to make their way to 6160, likely with the help of Miles and that card Maker gave him.

No tease for Spider-Man, maybe that will come with the Ultimate Universe one shot. Either it's going to be Peter Parker because Marvel demands at least one relatively "normal" book to serve as anchor for all this weirdness, or it will be someone entirely new. Saw someone suggest Harry Osborn and fuck that actually could work! I don't think that's ever been done either. My guess is that USM will be a book about either Peter or Harry having been groomed to join the technocrats in ruling the world, but they end up rebelling against that. Most of Spidey's traditional foes are either mad scientists (Norman and Otto would easily fit into this as sub-bosses under Howard who are pissed because the Illuminati stripped them of their old privileges) or science experiments lashing out (Lizard for example).

I see what Hickman is going for here. In our world the techbros wield power equivalent to heads of state, Hickman just flat out made them the actual heads.

It's an interesting setup, but it's weird. I dunno if Marvel fans will get on board with this, it's so utterly at odds with well, everything. It's not 616, it's not the MCU, and it's not 1610. Everything here is taking full advantage of being an alternate universe, and I don't know how Marvel fans will react to that. Another problem is this Ultimate Universe already carries a lot of baggage. Don't know who the Maker is? You're going to be utterly lost with what the hell is going on. Original Ultimate Universe lasted as long as it did because it was easy to get into for newcomers and featured streamlined reimagining of the classic characters for oldheads. Hickman said his new UU would be an inversion of that and he didn't lie.

I'm concerned that approach is going to make this new Ultimate Universe short lived. Say you're one of the countless people who will presumably jump in on Hickman writing Spidey without having read all this beforehand. If Spider-Man is as changed as Iron Man or Reed are, that's going to be a turn off for people because they'll reject how different he is from what they expect.
