This will include My Adventures with Superman episode 6 spoilers.

Why on earth is there so much discourse about maws? I feel like most of us are on the same side and are just misunderstanding each other. So now, I'm going to share my own thoughts on the topic.

For those who think that Lois had a sh*tty reaction to finding out Clark is Superman, I agree. She literally lied to him in the first episode about something that actually involved him, and could get him into trouble (or literally fired). Clark has every right to keep being Superman a secret, it doesn't involve her, and despite how quickly their relationship has progressed, he's still only known her for a month at most. As far as Clark is concerned, the only other people to know are his parents. Plus, he's still figuring things out himself, and it's not anybody's right to know something about him, especially when he still doesn't know the whole story yet.

For those of you who think Lois is a bad person for this reaction or that it is a mark of bad writing, I disagree. Characters need to have flaws, and they're not always going to understand others' point of views. It's actually really good writing for characters to have flaws, and this flaw is definitely not outweighing the good which is Lois Lane. And you know what? You can definitely be mad at her for her flaw. She did a bad thing, there's no reason why we shouldn't be mad. I can understand where she's coming from, and I still think she's a good person, but that doesn't mean what she did is right. She basically forced Clark to out himself (there are actually a lot of parallels between superhero secret identities and being in the closet), and that's not okay.

I don't love how the story line was handled in episode 6, because it was Clark who tried to apologize, and who had to explain himself at the end. It made it seem like Clark was somehow in the wrong, even if we were supposed to be sympathetic toward his situation. And Lois made me even more mad at her when she was pissed at Jimmy for not telling her that Clark was Superman, when it wasn't Jimmy's secret to tell. I also don't like how Clark was going to tell Jimmy he was Superman. It just felt like he was being pressured into it, and kept up the idea that what Clark was doing before was wrong, and now he is trying to course correct or something.

I do however love Jimmy knowing about Clark being Superman. I love that Jimmy is not an idiot, I love that he gave Clark all the space he could possibly need, waiting for Clark to tell him himself. I love that he just went along with their alarm clocks always being broken, and came up with an excuse for it, so Clark wouldn't have to.

I come beating gifts. I’m very sorry for the very very inactivity of my Blog. With my schedule nowadays it’s lucky that I get any free time to even make art or message friends. So just expect big gaps of time where I am absent, then a good week or a day where I make a few posts and reblog y’all’s works.

I wish you all the best!!

For the first time Anya was really frustrating me, the way children normally do, but she *was* determined to get a star in some way. And she’s an incredibly brave girl for trying to save someone from drowning by herself.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Hello neurodivergent people. I was wondering if I'm just weird or it is common to not being able to learn certain motoric skills at the same time as my peers and learned them MUCH later

Really quick doodles of a few scenes from the stream yesterday. Including combat flirting taunting, gale’s magnificently distracting shoes and.. whatever you wanna call gale agreeing to give 15 gold to astarion 😐😑😐😑😐 (that’s me blinking)

Collection of bg3 sketches I've been nibbling at over the month. teehee

quick question: when will she ravish me.

also... the music. the little wet noises... so good...

she was just a little silly

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

Learning that fans hated Applejack and called her "boring" is crazyyy to me because I genuinely, unironically believe AJ's the most complex character in the main six.

Backstory-wise, she was born into a family of famers/blue collar workers who helped found the town she lives in. She grew up a habitual liar until she had the bad habit traumatized outta her. She lost both her parents and was orphaned at a young age, having to step up as her baby sister's mother figure. She's the only person in the main gang who's experienced this level of loss and grief (A Royal Problem reveals that AJ dreams about memories of being held by her parents as a baby). She moved to Manhattan to live with her wealthy family members, only to realize she'll never fit in or be accepted, even amongst her own family. The earlier seasons imply she and her family had money problems too (In The Ticket Master, AJ wants to go to the gala to earn money to buy new farm equipment and afford hip surgery for her grandma).

Personality-wise, she's a total people-pleaser/steamroller (with an occasional savior complex) who places her self worth on her independence and usefulness for other people, causing her to become a complete workaholic. In Applebuck Season, AJ stops taking care of herself because of her obsessive responsibilities for others and becomes completely dysfunctional. In Apple Family Reunion, AJ has a tearful breakdown because in she thinks she dishonored her family and tarnished her reputation as a potential leader –– an expectation and anxiety that's directly tied to her deceased parents, as shown in the episode's ending scene. In The Last Roundup, AJ abandons her family and friends out of shame because believes she failed them by not earning 1st place in a rodeo competition. She completely spirals emotionally when she isn't able to fulfill her duties toward others. Her need to be the best manifests in intense pride and competitiveness when others challenge her. And when her pride's broken, she cowers and physically hides herself.

Moreover, it's strongly implied that AJ has a deep-seated anger. The comics explore her ranting outbursts more. EQG also obviously has AJ yelling at and insulting Rarity in a jealous fit just to hurt her feelings (with a line that I could write a whole dissection on). And I'm certain I read in a post somewhere that in a Gameloft event, AJ's negative traits are listed as anger.

Subtextually, a lot of these flaws and anxieties can be (retroactively) linked to her parents' death, forcing her to grow up too quickly to become the adult/caregiver of the family (especially after her big brother becomes semiverbal). Notice how throughout the series, she's constantly acting as the "mom friend" of the group (despite everything, she manages to be the most emotionally mature of the bunch). Notice how AJ'll switch to a quieter, calmer tone when her friends are panicking and use soothing prompts and questions to talk them through their emotions/problems; something she'd definitely pick up while raising a child. Same with her stoicism and reluctance at crying or releasing emotions (something Pinkie explicitly points out). She also had a childhood relationship with Rara (which, if you were to give a queer reading, could easy be interpreted as her first 'aha' crush), who eventually left her life. (Interestingly enough, AJ also has an angry outburst with Rara for the same exact reasons as with EQG Rarity; jealous, upset that someone else is using and changing her). It's not hard to imagine an AJ with separation anxiety stemming from her mother and childhood friend/crush leaving. I'm also not above reading into AJ's relationship with her little sister (Y'all ever think about how AB never got to know her parents, even though she shares her father's colors and her mother's curly hair?).

AJ's stubbornness is a symptom of growing up too quickly as well. Who else to play with your baby sister when your brother goes nonverbal (not to discount Big Mac's role in raising AB)? Who else to wake up in the middle of the night to care for your crying baby sister when your grandma needs her rest? When you need to be 100% all the time for your family, you tend to become hard-stuck with a sense of moral superiority. You know what's best because you have to be your best because if you're aren't your best, then everything'll inevitably fall apart and it'll be your fault. And if you don't know what's best –– if you've been wrong the whole time –– that means you haven't been your best, which means you've failed the people who rely on you, which means you can't fulfill your role in the family/society, which makes you worthless . We've seen time and time again how this compulsive need to be right for the sake of others becomes self-destructive (Apple Family Reunion, Sound of Silence, all competitions against RD). We've seen in The Last Roundup how, when no longer at her best, AJ would rather remove herself from her community than confront them because she no longer feels of use to them.

But I guess it is kinda weird that AJ has "masculine" traits and isn't interested in men at all. It's totally justified that an aggressively straight, misogynistic male fandom would characterize her as a "boring background character." /s
