#i may be oversimplifying
Text
Thinking about how the most anxious and inexperienced version of Mario is paired up against the most unhinged and powerful version of Bowser.
#Mario Movie#Super Mario Bros#super mario brothers#I may be oversimplifying I have not thoroughly explored every iteration of Bowser#BUT still thinking about how handily he fought Princess Peach and Donkey Kong at the same time#plus the sort of power it took from the Super Star to defeat him (his ship frickin EXPLODED and he was still in once piece and conscious?)#don't even get me started on the power behind his fire breath... melting steel and destroying entire kingdoms.#And then there's Mario#a silly little well-meaning plumber who's like '''???? What is going on??? Where is my brother????'' the whole time#just to be targeted by Bowser for merely existing within five feet of Princess Peach for longer than twenty minutes#I just... it's so GOOD#I need the sequel so badly I NEED to see Mario and Luigi fighting this version of Bowser with only common powerups and their wits#I need to see how they emotionally cope with knowing they're going in for round two against this loony juggernaut

adding to my tags because i’ve been thinkin a lot about the post i just reblogged and have more thoughts:
i’ll be real, the more i saw ‘hey adhd influencers are so annoying’ the more i worried that i was unconsciously contributing to the spreading reputation of adhd folks as annoying and over-pathologizing every symptom they experience
and then i realized. i am not a goddam influencer or life coach or representative. obviously i have some obligation as someone who cares about myself and the people that like my comics to not spread harmful ideology or blatant misinformation but i never intended myself to be a “’increase your productivity!!’ blog OR a ‘if you have XYZ you have adhd!’ blog. and i do this for fun, and originally started this blog bc i had a lot of internalized shame and self loathing about my adhd and thought if i could make it funny i might have less of that. let’s get real! and it worked!
i’ve obviously done this kind of thing— (hey these symptoms might be adhd!) a lot before in my life & on this blog, but there’s more to it than trying to be an “influencer” or whatever. a term that didn’t even exist when i started this blog!
i felt very isolated trying to find out if i had any mental problems & what have you originally because of large advice (etc) blogs with staunchly anti self Dx views at the time
so i overcorrected when i DID get dxed and tried to validate everyone who was like me. and of course. not the best course of action always for the ol mental health. tried to be the source of positivity and jokes that i didn’t see because the online adhd presence was near non-existent.
and anyway. i make a lot of fun of myself & the way m brain works in my comics obviously but it is not my obligation to... how do you say.... not be annoying online.
because if folks interpret MY little jokes as a strict guide to diagnosis. that’s on them, really, not me. i also believe “making adhd your entire personality” is a non-issue. so what if people find out they have it and get over excited with identifying as adhd. saying this as someone who DID do it. criticism of this gives the same vibes as people being annoyed that young queers make “being queer” their whole personality. im very obviously more than a guy with adhd, and id reckon other adhd comic artists are too. (im friends with a lot of them!) it’s fine to post about it online.
anyway. i just don’t take myself too seriously and i’m a comic artist for myself first! and you know what, i’ve been considered annoying my entire life. what do i care if a few more folks think i’m annoying. neurotypical or not
#i think the article did have some good points especially on the capitalism and marketing angle but i oft think it did venture into#being mad at individual folks who post jokes about adhd. which is literally fine thats what an opinion piece is for lol#i am just very tired of people pretending that a lot of reaction to online adhders is not in itself just an extension of the ableism#we already were facing#'adhd people are so annoying everyone does this youre pathologizing everything' ok and how exactly are you helping.#i hesitate to throw my hat in with hating on adhd tiktok because i am simply not on tiktok and have no way to back up my thoughts#that they may be annoying and oversimplifying a complex disorder on the 'drains your attention span' website.#and i think perhaps the value of each adhd resource varies widely depending on who made it and what theyre even posting.#sometimes its a joke made by a person with adhd. sometimes its sourced and cited research. sometimes its someone discussing their personal#experiences in depth. sometimes its someone talking completely out of their ass. sometimes its THINLY veiled ableism.#its up to the individual to research and determine the value of the memes and resources you seek#anyway. perhaps these points are tough to clarify on sites like insta and twitter. bless.#text#adhd#im punk now#oh and yeah i also agree lots of folks do not talk about the unsavory parts of adhd but rather the funnies and the sillies. but that is#once again a larger capitalism and marketing and ableism problem#r we not talking about them because we are actively trying to infantalize this disorder or is it because we collectively experience a lot#of internalized ableism and hesitate to talk about our worst symptoms for fear of the backlash#weve always gotten about them 🤔🤔🤔#much to consider#if youve read this far sorry for tangent number 56 about this. but also start being more unapologetic about your disorders. fuck it!#<3

evan buckley is just a man on my screen but i have to be so sincere for a second like i'm still not used to characters being bisexual and its for real. its for real !!!! i keep psyching myself out like 'there's a lot of bi stories and characters out there these days so its nothing special' but i joined this show in season 4 and even so its been like 4 years in the making. cant imagine waiting the full 7. anyways BI PEOPLE I LOVE U. I LOVE U ALWAYS idc how many there are already i will always rejoice over more. and like ngl good chance he will literally say the word bisexual on screen and u knowwwww mr oliver stark is gonna put his whole pussy (thought care love respect nuance acting) into this aspect of his character like he does with everything. ah!!!
#like its way oversimplifying to say im just excited they made him bi.#its the expression its the nuance its what it means for HIM as a character that excites me the most#not just that we tick another box but like. this character feels real and i love him. and we all get to go on this journey with him !!!!!!#honestly why i love 911 so much bc i feel this way about all the main characters and its a little extra special when you relate to them in#some way (chim and ravi and may and eddie 🫶🏼🫶🏼)#911

holding my tonggue but sometimes i remember hetalia exists and i think of everything awful about it, not just the show and manga itself, but its surrounding fandom and i enter such a state of despair i can only start screaming, crying, and mewling, that anyone thought representing ww1-ww2 history for all that it is, into fuckshit tropes and character interactions, was a good idea. heal your heart. you know this isnt right. this cant be right. also the tact behind fan stufff.... whatt... ar eyou talking about.... why??????
#uuggrggghhh.... falls to my knees#i say this as someone whos first anime was hetalia#man u cannot be doing this.. how the fuck do u interact with history in this way. this is so disrespectful#oversimplifying history for goofs and gags what is ur problem#hetalia i hate you . may god kill you at once#this is not even discussing howww fuckingg antiblack and eurocentric the entire series is#NO SHIT THO RIGHT#fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk#how do u enjoy this!!!!!#these are not lighthearted goofy little men. this is not fun. you cannot make a show that wants to dissect history but does it in such a#disrespectful ass way and encourages that behavior

honesty I'm surprised ppl don't get madder at orchard for her opinions on utena than they do for her opinions on su
I guess since she hasn't made 100 videos with it as the thumbnail ppl might just not be cognizant of them
#I haven't watched enough utena to rather confirm or deny her claims that it fetishizes abuse#But I'll take an educated guess that she may be oversimplifying things

remember sonic riders zero gravity? i wanna think about sonic riders zero gravity for a second. that plot was entirely insane. the sonic riders duology went from special race to prove who’s the fastest as a plot to steal the chaos emeralds -> ancient babylonia is unearthed and babylonians are decendants of genies, to eggman created a whole y2k themed city and can completely control it using a meteorite except for some of them who got struck by another meteorite that caused them to go on a global rampage and amd wants all the meteorites so he can control all the robots in the world also did i mention he does all this using a shell company (most evil thing hes done) -> babylon garden implodes into a huge spaceship and black hole and threatens to destroy the world until sonic and co beat up the huge robot that is the spaceship and outrun the black hole also birds are aliens
zero gravity is to riders what shth05 is to sa2. whats up with all the retconning aliens into things. wait they did that with frontiers too didn’t they. WHATS UP WITH ALL THE REVEALING THINGS ARE ACTUALLY ALIENS
#rambles#riders#i may be oversimplifying or misremembering some of that#its really overcomplicated and i have comprehension issues sue me#eggman having a shell company is what really gets me.#also the incredibly huge inaccuracies aboit black holes. i don’t think they really tried on that one#i love zero gravity so fucking much man it’s insane

seelies seem to have a really interesting place in the downworld/shadow world has a whole. they’ve been shown to work more closely than other downworld factions with shadowhunters in the past (early season one springs to mind), but they’re certainly no totally trusting of or trusted by the shadowhunters, so not all this is to say they don’t face any discrimination. valentine being willing to make a deal with her when he hates downworlders so much seems so strange… except for the fact that seelies have angel blood AND demon blood. with his (obviously very wrong and distorted) ideas about purity of angel blood, does that make him trust her more? is this interaction a microcosm of the shadowhunters perspectives on seelies in general? much to think on.
it’s also not lost on me that warlocks and seelies are both born with magic and into the downworld as they are. there’s intergenerational trauma attached to the history of warlocks (and i’m VERY curious about seelies on that front), but there’s no trauma associated with the transformation. they’re never ripped away from their lives the way that werewolves and vampires are.
#shadowhunters rewatch 2023#the seelie queen#valentine morgenstern#downworld politics#clave politics#actual the existence of jonathan raised a fascinating question#born as a shadowhunter#injected with demon blood#even has an association with plants and controlling them#does that technically make him a seelie? in some ways he has more in common with a seelie than many shadowhunters#but i think saying he Is a seelie oversimplifies it by a lot#because a big point of his character is showing how traumatizing and toxic#rigid ideas of What Makes You Who And What you are#can be#because he’s also raised with shadowhunter ideas and principles and trained to fight like one!#his change may happen when he’s too you ng to remember#but it’s associated with a lot of trauma#and taking him away from the life he’d otherwise have had#it’s interesting

Here’s your daily reminder that sh*tkoku stans don’t see dazai on his own, don’t look at his trauma, his story, his personality, only a good self projection to get with ch**y* and if you call yourself a dazai stan and ship sh*tkoku, then I have some news for you ❤️
#im ngl i dont completely disagree#from what ive seen the majority of skk shippers ive seen do exactly that#which is why i dont interact much and just rb art i agree with#bc they fucking LOVE to oversimplify the shit out of dazai#and make it seem like hes nothing without chuuya#and vice versa#the problem with this and any fanbase really is the majority always oversimplifies deep complex characters#both dazai and chuuya are amazing characters#but it seems like the majority of this fanbase is just oOoOoO tHeYrE GaEy!! and thats it#honestly yes i do ship skk BUT if they every got romantic in canon and i would hunt asagiri for sport#i could write an entire essay on dazai and chuuyas dynamic and how i ship it/why#bc i dont actually ship them the way the general fanbase does#but its a lot to explain and im pretty sure anon does not want to hear it#and its really hard to find content that portrays that so i just kinda cut my losses suspend my disbelief and enjoy what i get#i may not agree with the majority of this fandom but ill just ignore what i dislike and appreciate what i dont#too much work to gatekeep as much as id love to#ill also say the fanbase seems to completely ignore the characters being based off actual people and actual literary works#and just treat them like wOaH hOt GaY aNiMe BoYs!¡!¡!#which drives me absolutely INSANE#bc theres so much more you can learn about them by actually researching the REAL PEOPLE theyre based off of#and it gives you more insight into their original character vs where asagiri took artistic liberties#and gives you a better idea of who they really are#anyway tldr anon youre not wrong but i doubt youll care if i write everything out for you in detail and i dont want to waste my time#also i didnt want to respond seriously to this in the actual post bc i really dont think you care what i have to say#you see i like dazai and i dont hate chuuya and i like them together in a way that i label skk and you immediately see red#and have no intention of hearing me out#so i might as well make the post itself a meme and respond seriously in the tags

aw i wanted to read house in the cerulean sea 🤧 is it bad? or to each their own?
It's definitely a matter of taste I think! It depends on what you like in a story. For me I found it a bit corny and shallow and overly preachy, but obviously my friend who picked it absolutely loved it, so it's a subjective thing. We have pretty contrasting tastes most of the time anyway it seems. She LOVES fantasy and hates anything set in mundane reality or that's depressing and dark, and I think my favourite book we read in the club was also her least favourite one too hahaha
#the problem for me i think is i grew up in a very sheltering christian home#that severely restricted the media i was allowed to partake in until almost adulthood#so anything preachy or corny that paints everything with a black and white moral brush makes me roll my eyes and go NOT THIS AGAIN#because i was raised on such a steady diet of that that i got super sick of it#the house in the cerulean sea had some funny and cute stuff but it was one of those formulaic stories#where you know exactly what's going to happen next#and who you were meant to root for and sympathize with#and big problems like racism and child abuse get wrapped up in neat little bows and solved by the well meaning hero#in a very oversimplified way#it read like a book targeted at kids because of the heavy-handed preachiness and light treatment of dark subject matter#but i think it's meant for adults?#and something about that just felt sort of insulting to the intelligence and insincere or even maybe a bit tone deaf and offensive#of the writer to me#it may be popular but i don't think it's a book that is going to age very well at all#ask#anon#p

this is way too simplistic of an explanation and is worth elaborating on later but there IS an easy shortcut to drawing "asian" eyes and it is not drawing them as squinty, slanty, or god forbid perpetually closed. it's literally just the epicanthic fold. just draw the upper eyelid as folding over the inner corner of the eye.
if you're drawing in a style that omits that level of eyelid/eye shape detail then you just don't need to differentiate the eye shape unless the character legitimately just has a recognizably distinct eye shape - which, by the way, people of any race and ethnicity can have. i don't mind that much when cartoony styles give all their asian characters that almond eye shape or whatever to differentiate them but it honestly feels kind of unnecessary and a boring choice when people who have epicanthic folds can have eye shapes just as varied as anyone else
#xyx.txt#*i say 'asian' eyes because this is what everyone knows them as#however incorrect or oversimplified that may be#i can't just say east asian because there are plenty of asians from other regions who DO have the epicanthic fold#and i can't just say asian because there are plenty of asians who DON'T have it#can we just start using the term epicanthic fold. please

the sooner people (me) can reconcile that at my core i am a very hopeful person. in the sense that. i want to be. i choose to be. and who believes in the fundamental human capacity for good and also someone who can’t help but see the world in shades of grey and knows in my heart that people are complex and that’s part of what makes them beautiful. the better for everyone. i think
#personal#i’ve tended to call myself a cheerful pessimist but that oversimplifies it#i am Hopeful despite it all#feeling that way may not be fundamental to my nature#but choosing it anyway even when its hard is

ugh. okay. i've ranted about this in my journal less than five minutes ago but apparently my thirst to fucking yell at the clouds won't be satiated until i've put it somewhere public.
look. i love Seo Soojin and think her removal from the group was as unfair as the next stan, but the way people talk about the conclusion of the case really drives me mad. i see a lot of "she was proven innocent by her lawyer" and a lot more of "it was a false accusation" but going by the last statement from her attorney that i read, i feel like there's a lot more going on than that.
first thing's first, i don't know how it is in different countries or different justice system, but as far as am aware "proving" anything isn't a lawyer's job. first and foremost their job is to represent their client; specifically in cases such as Soojin's, it's to represent their client through a legal dispute/investigation. if there's anything related to "proofs" to their job, then that would be to collect evidences and statements. but to determine whether someone is innocent or guilty isn't within their rights.
her lawyer can't "prove" her innocence. all they could do was to collect and present the evidences that may -- hopefully -- get her an innocent verdict, but that verdict wasn't theirs to make.
now with that said, again, going by the last statement released that i read last year, i'd say Soojin's lawyer did a pretty good job collecting those evidences that may point towards her innocence. from what i remember:
they had statement(s) from the school staff as witness claiming that there were no records of the bullying Soojin was accused of;
the only record of bullying related to Soojin that they had instead pointed at her as the victim, not the bully; and
when questioned about it, the accuser/her team failed to present any evidence to support their claim of Soojin bullying her that wasn't simply hearsay (i.e. she said/she said situation)
also included in the statement though more like a quote, the accuser had also apparently admitted that "she wasn't sure (anymore)" whether Soojin really was part of the group that she'd claimed to have bullied her or not.
so all of these do point towards the conclusion that Soojin didn't do what the accuser said she did. at the very least, it opened the door for further investigation of the claim and, therefore, the case. at this point, based on the statement, Soojin's team had successfully submitted their own evidence to counter the accuser's claim to the police, while the accuser's team had not.
the proper course of action after this was supposed to be for the police to: 1) investigate the evidence submitted by Soojin/her team to determine its truth and 2) press the accuser/her team to finally submit their evidence to backup their claim as well as counter Soojin's. in my country, to my knowledge at least, if the accuser fails to fulfil point no.2 while point no.1 leads to a definitive yes, then the case would be dropped as false allegations and that opens the door for a counter-suit under defamation.
but, quoted in the statement, a member of the force instead claimed that there was not enough leads/evidence to investigate the case further. it was treated as though both parties failed to submit evidence to support their positions and claims, when as stated: Soojin did not fail, the accuser did.
it's hard not to look at all of this with at least a little bit of a side-eye. the case didn't seem like it was dropped because there was simply not enough going ons to continue pursuing it, it instead seemed like it was dropped because thus far at that point, Soojin may come out on top.
the case was not dropped because she was legally proven to be innocent, but because the evidence gathered favoured towards her innocence and the cops were not interested in pursuing that.
the more that i think about the inconclusive conclusion of the case, the more i can only think of one word. it's what people in my country call kongkalikong; the whole tail end of this case just stinks of corruption. this isn't "just" a false allegation. it feels far more insidious than that.
so ... no, Soojin's lawyers didn't "prove" that she was innocent, they just gathered and presented the evidence that could have cleared her of the accusations had the justice system worked properly. and, no, it wasn't a "false allegation" legally because the people who were supposed to investigate and determine that were not interested in doing their job.
in conclusion: the whole case is mad fucked. its ""conclusion"" even more so. if you're going to talk about it, don't just talk about the lawyers and the accuser. there's a whole third, maybe even fourth party, that you're forgetting to include.
#seo soojin#(g)idle#g idle#i think soojin definitely could have pressed for the case to remain open and pursued further#but that would also mean more resources spent to pay for her legal fees#how long did it go on before the case was dropped? a year? almost two?#considering that CUBE didn't back her up at all#she was probably using her own/her family's money#and like. i don't want to speculate about the financial situation of a stranger#but if the fourth party i suspected may have been involved WAS involved#then unless that fourth party was really small and broke ... well ... an individual simply isn't a match for a company i think#though of course there's also the high possibility of soojin simply *also* not interested in pursuing the case further#no matter the verdict as a public figure this bullying scandal would likely stick to her till the end of times#unless she also has the resource to hire an extremely powerful PR team which also means more money spent#idk am not writing all of this with the hopes that she'll someday return or anything like that#it just frustrates me a whole lot the way i feel like people just oversimplify the whole thing#no one even talks about the cops!#and their involvement was integral to this case!!#mad fucked.#anyway i hope she's doing well and okay whatever she's doing rn#also sorry for not putting read more i can't be arsed
