Full Moon

Ok so I don’t normally post about Helluva Boss but the newest episode touched on an interesting concept I haven’t necessarily seen represented in media. Back when I was on Twitter (derogatory) a few years ago there was this now deleted viral thread where someone discussed how their struggles with mental health affected their relationship with their partner and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

This is such a good, short example of how anxiety and depression can play tricks on you. It becomes so easy to envision yourself as a nuisance, a constant burden to those closest to you because they cannot possibly genuinely enjoy your company, right? But in doing so you create this arbitrarily cruel version of the people you love, people who would otherwise never behave like this outside of your own mind.

It's mean. Because your mind wants to be mean to you under these circumstances. It wants to put everyone else's emotions and desires above yours, both in worthiness and validity. And that starts bleeding into your understanding of other people, especially those you care about.

Now. Helluva Boss.

"Can I get a fucking MINUTE to think after everything you put me through you pompous rich ASSHOLE? Treat me like one of your little butler imps, you can’t just dismiss me like that! I mean, you royal fucks think you can do this every time, like you can just play with our feelings because we’re smaller and not as important. Well I’m not letting you, BITCH! Let’s go!" - Blitz

I find it really interesting how Helluva Boss decided to approach this conflict between Stolas and Blitz. Obviously, the difference in power matters. It's the underlying tension of their entire relationship and their lives. Stolas is burdened by the mountain of expectations thrust upon him from a very young age while Blitz is constantly reminded that he can NEVER be part of that world, that he is "smaller and not as important" not just in Hell's hierarchy but in his own life and family. Stolas very literally has power over Blitz (through the grimoire, the arrangement, his position in society) and Blitz uses their relationship as an excuse to reverse those roles. But that power dynamic, in one form or another, never truly goes away. And for Blitz, it's a lot easier to paint Stolas as this manipulative symbol of power and himself as nothing more than Stolas' plaything. It's easier to be angry than to be vulnerable and accept that someone might care about him.

"Dismiss" is the keyword in that quote. All that Blitz has been able to process is that Stolas has decided to end the relationship that they have. He feels ls like a choice has been taken away from him so he lashes out because he's not ready to emotionally tackle what the rest of Stolas' offer might entail. If Stolas hates him, just wants to play with him, then he is justified in his anger, his self-destruction, his isolation. If the world is mean, you're "allowed" to be mean back.

But

In that moment he forgets that Stolas is someone he actually cares about. Someone he's known for way too long and clearly wants to keep in his life, no matter how reluctant he can be to admit it. Someone who is not innately cruel or manipulative but sad and desperate for connections in a lot of the same ways that Blitz is. And Blitz immediately sees that he's miscalculated something.

Somewhere along the way the fictional version of Stolas that he's allowed himself to be mad at and the real one that he's not ready to admit he cares about have merged into something real that he has actual power over. Stolas can get hurt and Blitz can be the one who does it. He has once again allowed his greatest fears (which Stolas so frequently symbolizes) to co-opt his loved ones, to give him an "out" even though he didn't actually want one in the first place.

I'm definitely not the first person to say this but I think this is an example of the miscommunication trope done right. Their individual struggles are what cause them to be unable to connect during this conversation or to even have a proper conversation in the first place. There is no convenient misunderstanding or third party fabricating this rift. Both of them have preconceived ideas of what the other one is thinking but those ideas are flawed and rooted in self-hatred. They also both shutdown in their unique ways when the conversation starts heading in the direction they'd feared it would.

Blitz and Stolas work because they're both fucked up in similar ways, because they want similar things. That's the same reason why they're uniquely designed to hurt one another. A fear of rejection and a yearning for happiness. To borrow a quote that has been used by literally everyone from Spiderman to Evangelical preachers, "hurt people hurt people."

anyway, I really liked this episode.

Hello!! I came across a couple of your animals with pride flags series (idk what you're actually calling it lol) and I wanted to request an intersex blue-ringed octopus (I'm not intersex myself tho lol, just thought it might look neat)

Oooh, this was a fun one! Thank you for the request! 🐙

#ask #art request #art #my art #intersex #blue-ringed octopus #octopus #queer art #animal art #digital art #lgbtqia+#lgbtq+#critter series #someone requesting an animal that matches the colour/look of the pride flag with it? *wipes tear* brilliant. you understood the assignment #like i love doing people's favourite animals with their flag but there's just something so fun about animals that match the colour scheme #or at the very least are very close to matching it. it makes the designs so appealing because it looks more natural #and it's always nice doing flags i haven't done before #the blue-ringed octopus was an excellent choice for the intersex flag. for obvious reasons. i also think it looks very neat :)#(the back legs are doing a very very good job of being hidden behind the head and have nothing to do with me forgetting about them)#i saw one when i was a kid. i was in a rock pool and as I got out it swam across. it was a very 'woah. i could have died just now' moment #but then again close encounters with deadly animals are basically a rite of passage for kids in australia #id in alt

I think we should just bring back Wungo Wednesday and start a fandom collective anime rewatch

#Because otherwise I can feel I won't last much longer #Because like. The last two hyperfixations of mine ended the moment I started feeling like there wasn't any new content #And two days ago in one day I started a new manga a new book and rewatching a favourite show #Whereas I hadn't started anything new in the two years ever since I got into bsd. Which makes it NOT a good sign #But the bsd anime has now ended for one month and 25 days and that's the last time the plot actually moved forward.#And if I counted right. The manga took 4 chapters (that is chapters 110-111) to adapt 6 minutes #That means it's going to take another 12 months (18 minutes left to adapt. that's 12 more chapters) to catch up with the anime #Yeah I'm not. sticking around this long with nothing new to see I'm sorry #Best case scenario I take a one year hiatus but that doesn't make it sound likely that I'll be back #And I know it's fresh news as early as this morning that author said they were introducing a new character but like.#They also said they finished writing this arc like. One year and half ago if I remember correctly?#And we still have yet to see the end of i t so...#That is to say. I'll probably be starting an anime rewatch starting next Wednesday. I've been meaning to do it for a while anyway #I don't want to leave the fandom I like the one chapter a month format #On the positive news I still have a queue of original posts that spans over ten months #And I was meaning to start the reblogs queue too in these days. So there's that #random rambles

Me for the 15 seconds of sskk interaction at the end:

#This is a joke obviously. I wouldn't dare disregard the rest of Atsushi screentime #Everything else though...#Jk ajhbcflkasbv the Ranpo chapter is alright. Seeing Yosano is always a bliss especially in the new outfit!!!#I take issues with the sexism but eh when do I not #First time I watched I was like of course I knew the killer! I read Agatha Christie lol #(This is what happens when you have a mystery enthusiast mother btw.#I've always been intimately familiar with Christie and Doyle and Poe and whatsnot)#Nothing much else to say! Great animation quality.#Episode 2x11 is my favourite anime episode so. Yeah :') Looking forward to it #The whole rewatch has been leading to this moment #random rambles #Me when the scene changes and I hear Atsushi's voice: 🥰🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💞😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️#Edit: (It is 15 seconds.

new sketchbook who this

what it says in the tin, got a new sketchbook today :) it's thicker and rougher paper than what i usually use which is slightly annoying because it tends to smudge a lot more and has a rougher look, but it's still good paper and i find it nice to draw on!!

every so often i fall back into my DDLC phase and start rewatching a bunch of analysis videos on the characters. they're like my comfort background noise to listen to. Monika's one of my favourite characters and i find her fun to draw!!

(ignore the sudden lighting change idk why that happened)

Splatoon was, like, a childhood hyperfixation of mine, mainly because the character designs and the music go hard. like, they literally please the autism so much, it's like a stim just looking at the characters and listening to the soundtrack!!! the design of the Inkling girl was always my favourite as a kid because look at her! she's so cool looking!! i love all the colours and i love the texture of the characters' hair and their ears literally make me so happy and they are SO fun to draw. i would chew on an octoling's hair like a dog toy if i could it looks so chewable

#sketch #ddlc #ddlc monika #splatoon #inkling girl #my favourite splatoon characters are usually the ones that please the autism the most #marie marina and frye are my favourites out of the idols just because their designs go so hard #i also really love dedf1sh's design they're so cool #the hair in splatoon looks so chewy though. like. surely i am not the only person who-#-thinks the splatoon hair looks yummy. i wanna chew on it #if inklings and octolings were real i would just eat their hair #they would all go bald because i eated all the hair #anyway enough about eating hair #monika is so pretty. like. she is actually so beautiful and i love drawing her #how dare team salvato make such lovely character designs that i start questioning my sexuality for a moment /j #no but like the ddlc characters are so pretty drawing them is so fun #i like drawing them in a semi-realistic more detailed anime style because it just makes them look cosy #especially sayori #i love drawing sayori with more modest rounded hair it makes her look so cosy and friendly :)#these tags are so weird #i mean it is currently 12 am at the time of writing this because i wasnt paying attention to the clock-#-and i'm just writing a stream of consciousness right now but also why am i going on about-#-eating splatoon hair for like 5 tags wtf #im gonga go to bed goodnight :)

These cute adults, wth (Patreon)

And a Bonus Fionna

Because she’s still a kid lol

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Betty Grof #Winter King #Fionna Campbell #Like I said! She may be an adult but she's still a kid! Emotional maturity and all that #She's doing fine ♥ Fionna's a good lad #Anyway - mostly just an excuse to draw the Wintrigrof trio pulled closer to my style lol #I got curious and it turned out fun ♪ I Have to make them fluffy you must understand this #Simon's under-fluff is really one of my favourite little quirks I've given him lol it's just so fun to shade!#Plus I always enjoy his kind of design - the bowtie the lapels the tired eyes and fluff and glasses and nasolabial fold and button down #He has so many good elements :D #And his younger self is just cute as heck ♪#Little vest moment to denote his youth lol #Betty has so many glasses designs ahh I probably could've done several with just her! Decided to also stick with her younger look tho #She gets the dot eye style inside the anime frames inside the glasses frames since that's what her eyes normally look like hehe #Simon gets light eyes with pupils! Differences in eye styles! It's fun #And then Winter gets full on weird eyes - I had the idea of him wearing contacts and his glasses being strictly aesthetic at one point lol #Ice contacts :0 I made a quite mini of him offering some to Simon and he's like ''I think you can only have those 'cause the Crown''#And he's like Oh Yeah Haha nevermind :)#He is also quite fun to draw like that ♪ Pretty man (derogatory (affectionate))#And as said - little Fionna 'cause she's cute <3

I have a special announcement. I'm officially bringing back the 'my favourite anime moments' lists for this year. I wasn't able to do it the past few years because life got in the way (I had a new job, then I left said new job and other personal irl issues) and it all left me too drained and depressed to want to watch anime. But I'm in a better place now; I've watched so much anime and regained my love for the medium. I really want to bring this series back, so I'm going to try to keep it going for as long as I can this year.
