ok guys. i have to be so real with you. luke saying annabeth is like a little sister to him was not just added for the tv show he says that in the book ("she would never... i mean, she's like a little sister to me" (page 223))

#personally i have never understood why people think that the scene in last olympian is luke saying he loves annabeth romantically #'did you love me' can mean so many things and also luke saying annabeths his lil sister doesnt necessarily mean annabeth doesnt have a crush #its extremely common for little kids to crush on people older than them #like i wouldnt be surprised if they drop that plotline but to me its always been deeper than 'annabeth has a crush on luke'#am i being a lil pedantic and petty. perhaps #percy jackson #mine #pjo tv #pjo #luke castellan #annabeth chase

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

something about people calling vrisrezi "toxic yuri" always puts me off. i understand the lack of words to really put their dynamic but like you know theyre in a relationship thats largely good for them right. they arent dating because "it sucks but it would be worse without each other" they genuinely really love each other a lot

#just as a baseline understanding here i am outright stating that their moiraillegance is a romantic relationship which includes kissing etc #if u cannot meet me on that level i dont think i really want to discuss vrisrezi with you #anyways its just so weird to me i dont know. i dont have a super great way of articulating it #they do Need each other they are codependent and its not necessarily healthy #but unhealthy does not equal toxic #they dont hurt each other on purpose they make each other so so happy and they do so much for each other and thats what makes them worse #because as much as they are universally destined to be together by the Laws of Paradox Space they are also universally doomed #and i mean straight up like. terezi is vriska's fp i feel like this is a given with the almost unambiguous bpd coding of vriska #and that isnt a type of relationship that vriska serket and terezi pyrope are exactly going to understand or manage well #but i also think that calling a favorite person relationship toxic by the nature of it regardless of who specifically is in it #is really gross? and harmful? and it doesnt make you sound cool when you talk about vrisrezi like that #ok wow this got really really out of hand. vrisrezi isnt really “toxic” if you read the comic thank you good night #vriska #terezi #my posts ::::)

while i wouldnt necessarily disagree that childe seems to be on edge more so than usual (and he himself mentions being in a poor mood in act I) in the fontaine archon quest i do have to say i find it a little funny that theres people who think hes behaving, like, completely out of character in the court scene when he decides to go apeshit after being judged guilty by the justice.exe AI bot like.

did it somehow escape peoples memories that this man when presented with the idea that we as the traveler mightve tricked and gotten ahead of him with the geo gnosis just. entered a state of complete murderous rage leading to him activating foul legacy in the golden house. which actually ends up self-sabotaging his current objective more than anything bc unlike the clear way they struggled against childe before now the traveler just won by default by outlasting him

he mightve gotten over it fairly easily afterwards (in no small part bc traveler actually fought him which automatically translates to equal=respect=friend in his fucked up head) but childes been shown to be a highly dangerous individual with a massive ego prone to outburst in the heat of the moment when outplayed or his pride wounded before even when it isnt the smartest course of action like. this isnt new lmao.

getting accused of a crime he had never even heard of in a foreign nation he only recently arrived in and then sitting through all that court drama and being assured afterwards that he only needs to partake as a mere formality for declaring his innocence only to be somehow declared guilty by a machine is very much realistic grounds for childes patience to reach its breaking point if you ask me lol

#and if its about the like... civilians in the opera watching thing id like to remind ppl #that childes never raised any ethical issue or personal guilt relating to the endangering of innocents #childe dislikes involving the weak bc its something he considers as BENEATH himself as a warrior whod rather solve every problem w a 1v1 #him going 'the weak of this world are so insignificant that no honorable fighter would pull them into matters beyond their ability'#isnt.... a moral stance jkwdjkdjkwjkdjkdkdw #so like no him choosing to activate foul legacy in front of a crowd doesnt necessarily ring ooc to me #just that hes decided its a means to an end situation where he cannot abide by his preferences #the same way he chose to revive osial despite his personal distaste for such methods because at the moment its what he had to fall back on #genshin #genshin spoilers /#rambles #childeposting #childe

Wish it was normalized for "shipping" to not refer to romantic ships strictly. The term is derived from "relationship", that covers any relationship... It'd really be a heck of a lot easier to browse stuff and be less of a point of potential upset. Eg artists asking "please don't tag as ship, this is platonic". I hate the platonic and romantic division so much as is for being hard to define and being different for everyone. I really wish it was more acceptable to use ship names in general without people automatically perceiving it as romantic upon doing so. The traffic fandom is so insistent on labeling your ships very specifically and it takes so much of the inherent fun of shipping away and stresses people out for no good reason

#like ok saying “I ship it” usually entails something romantic but it shouldnt by default imo #“I ship it” but that doesnt necessarily mean I want them to kiss or something #sorry very small thing ultimately but it bothers me so much #blabber #trafficblr #trafficshipping

Golden Guard ghost memes but this time I’m aware they’ve been perceived by my friends

Look I’m just saying that the methods in which generations dealt with trauma over four hundred years roughly went from “whats a trauma” to “shove it under the bed no one will notice” to “make memes” so. No matter how old the Guards are biologically, there has gotta be some MAJOR boomer vs gen z class divides in the ghosts like c’mon

1, 2, 3, 5, 6

#the owl house #toh #memes #toh memes #golden guards #previous golden guards #emperor belos #philip wittebane #caleb wittebane #golden guard ghosts #ghost caleb wittebane #puritan names #for the future #grimwalkers #also logically speaking at least ONE of the guards had to have always been loyal to belos #'it always hurts when they betray me' doesnt necessarily mean they all rebelled #its belos. 'betrayal' could probably just mean they had a small complaint at the wrong time #or a critic. or were just in the way. or werent enough like caleb so clearly how dare they not be a replica of his brother #so there has GOT to be at least 1 guard who does NOT get along with any of the others #theres gotta be at least 1 dude who is loyal to belos to the bitter end #and that guy is the feral dog of the group that the reckless ones will occasionally poke with a stick just for fun and run away #and caleb is just yelling like 'HEY! LEAVE IT ALONE' as the guard is just hissing and spitting like with rabies

Gem kicked her legs absentmindedly. She sat at the edge of a cliff on a random world, scrolling through Pinterest and humming. She was, at this point, wholly human - ten fingers, ten toes, not a speck of antler to be found.

She groaned in annoyance and fell backwards. The clouds, unbothered by her frustration, floated gently in the far-away breeze.

"Maybe I'll just make a dragon," she said aloud. She puffed air to move her bangs out of her face, and when that didn't work she pushed them aside with a huff.

"A big dragon that breathes ice, a big dark castle... Deepslate for sure, Blackstone, maybe some purple..."

She pictured a dragon-person Gem. Gilded horns would adorn her skull, winding up to a sharp point. She'd have slitted eyes, sharp teeth, and rough-dry scales crawling up her back. Something deep purplish, maybe blue, maybe red.

She scowled and reopened her eyes. The clouds remained floating in their unencumbered way. She was close, but not quite there.

Gem sat back up, picked up a stray rock, and launched it off the cliff. It sailed silently until it landed in the ocean's crashing waves with a soft plop. She glared at the ocean, eyeing the way sunlight glinted off the cresting waters and how salt stung her lip where she'd got a cut, somehow.

Then her expression shifted to something more thoughtful. Maybe there was something to this ocean idea...

Belugirins shed their skin in a manner similar to lizards. Skins shed in the water would break down into marine snow, or be eaten by scavengers.

Helping one another shed is an activity that varies in connotation, though it is universally intimate.

The mat is designed with hard, but flexible scales to run against and loosen shed skin

#I wanted to digitize these but they looked better traditional :]#intimate here doesnt necessarily mean romantic #aliens #belugirins #speculative biology #kips art #art #speculative evolution #spec bio #specbio

i think my biggest problem in time management is that i totally overestimate how much energy i have

#so for example ill be like Oh ill play one game. and sometimes i do play more than one lol #but a lot of the time i get to the end of that game and... im too tired to do anything dhbdjdj????#i dont know if its mental or physical but. theres a problem lmao #hmmm i guess if i try to switch it around. but hmmm.#i want to say 'maybe its just about motivation i bet if u switched the tasks around u would #have enough energy left to play a game' but that doesnt necessarily say anything about motivation #it might just mean eg 1 hour drawing takes less energy #also really fucking annoying how autocorrect doesnt want to work in tags

Will's Possession vs. Billy's Possession

Right now I'm starting a post about Will's s2 possession and how it relates to both Will and Mike, but first I wanted to side step and talk about Will's s2 possession in contrast to Billy's s3 possession, and what their differences highlights in terms of the story and presentation of gender and sexuality.

From the outset, Billy and Will's possession are different right from the jump. Both involve forced insertion, although for Will the Mind Flayer enters him from inside one of his true sight visions, while it's implied for Billy that the point of entry was from the flayed-rat-meat-monster that was underneath the ironworks. We don't see this for Billy, but we do see it visualized when Heather's parents are flayed.

This difference suggests a higher sensitivity or openness to the supernatural that Will possesses but that Billy does not. Whether a natural ability or afflicted, Will's True Sight is unique to him. Unlike Vecna visions, Will is able to move about physically in both dimensions, whereas victims of Vecna visions/hallucinations stay solitary and are described as "spacing out" or are tranced completely. We also know that Will had to have been physically in the Upside Down in order for the Mind Flayer to enter him, as we don't see any Mind Flayer particles out on the field while Will is being attacked.

There isn't anything to suggest that Billy had any sensitivity to the supernatural before this, and I'm inclined to believe that his vision in the Upside Down is another vision from Vecna as he takes over his mind, rather than Billy being physically presently there.

A little bit about gender in horror

Typically in the supernatural horror genre, especially with occult stories, possession, sensitivity to the supernatural, and being a "portal" for the "devil" (the devil being the Mind Flayer/Vecna in a nonliteral sense) is gendered as female. The body of the possessed has presented an "opening" for which the masculine demonic force (the Mind Flayer was gendered as male even before the show revealed it to be an actual male) enters.

And yet, it’s not so simple as to say that both possessions are gendered feminine. And in fact, there are huge differences that help gender Will’s experience as more feminine and Billy’s experience as more masculine.

For one thing, the moment of entry is hardly a focus for Billy’s possession, and is suggested rather than shown. We see Billy being dragged down to the ironworks basement, but the show cuts away before we actually see the particles enter his body.

Contrast this with Will’s possession, which I already showed above, where the moment of entry is not only visualized but emphasized.

The reaction to their respective possessions is gendered as well. The focus of Will’s possession becomes his emotional suffering, while Billy, either reacting to and/or succumbing to masculine force, acts out violently. Will cries and finds comfort in his mom, while Billy dreams about attacking Mrs. Wheeler (and then successfully attacks Heather and orhers).

And perhaps this is meant to be exemplary of each individual’s expression of gender. My post here lays out Will’s femininity, and Billy seems to represent an inverse of this— a paragon of masculinity that Will can’t relate to. Will is sensitive and soft and artistic in a way that the people shun him for, and Billy is sporty and aggressive and sexual in a way that the town rewards him for.

I talked before about how the town views Will in my Zombie Boy post and my longer analysis about sexuality in the show, although I think in the past I naïvely believed that after season one the town was neglecting to see Will’s feminine side, seeing only a predatory masculine side despite Will’s character not changing. But this isn’t the case. If anything, it’s the fact that Will is a feminine man that causes the town to see him as predatory in the first place and to be labeled as such.

And yet, when both in the position of possession, it is Will who remains pacifistic, holding out as long as he can (until the demadog attack at the lab, but even then, Will is more just the eyes for the Mind Flayer rather than being the one actually doing the attacking) and Billy is the one who succumbs and turns on the town.

When Billy is emasculated, either through his dad calling him a “faggot” or through possession, he leans into his machismo and lashes out violently. When Will is possessed or faces outward hatred from others, he responds by holding true to himself.

#although it should be noted that will doesnt have the healthiest reaction either as a lot of his pain is focused inward #and bottled up as opposed to lashing out like billy #and just because will refuses to change himself doesn’t necessarily mean that he loves himself!!#will byers #stranger things #my analysis #do i actually tag billy yes or no
