I very much do want to see the betrayer gods again because they are some hilariously petty bitches who would definitely try and pull some absolute bullshit, but also I will Never be able to picture Lolth the Spider Queen or Asmodeus the Lord of the Hells, in mannerism, in voice, or in appearance, as ANYTHING other than Aabria Iyengar and Brennan Lee Mulligan. they did it too good and now it's Them Forever

y'know, probably because i hate simple power dynamics a lot, but i really love how weird and complicated power dynamics are in tlt.

like, in gtn, harrow makes the assumption that coronabeth is "the dominant" in her relationship with ianthe, but we as the audience know that ianthe has power over her because of coronabeth's secret, and coronabeth often ends up coming across as more submissive in her interactions with ianthe.

harrow holds a significant amount of power over gideon, but gideon also holds more power over her than she herself is aware of, because all of gideon's actions affect harrow.

john is the most powerful character in the entire series, but his personality is so docile and non-confrontational that even as god, he's more likely to obey than demand.

then, and thank you tamsyn muir so much for writing them the way you did, there's characters like cam and pal, who seem to have no power dynamic at all. they're equals. camilla obeys palamedes, but not because she has to, rather because their goals almost always align. palamedes takes camilla's advice and supports her in any way he can, not because he's afraid of her or she holds power over him, but rather because he trusts her to know what to do. they work as one.

that's why paul can exist as the perfect lyctor, because they're made up of two souls working together, rather than one soul consuming or suppressing another.

i think one of the reasons i enjoy the percy series so much is because it’s an adaptation of the novels and not word for word the same.

at first i was a little upset by all the changes, but after rereading the books, i actually like the series even more now. as much as we all adore the books, i think we can agree that they’re not perfect. sometimes there’s plot holes, inconsistencies, or just bad writing in general. this gives rick a chance to fix those things, and that’s OKAY.

the series isn’t perfect either, don’t get me wrong, but it is nice to see the characters going on the same adventures even with some variation to the original story. i think this will allow the characters to be fleshed out more.

we have to remember that a tv show and a book is not the same medium, so the way these things are presented cannot be identical. otherwise the characters in the show would probably seem pretty flat since the books are only from percy’s perspective. the series allows us to learn more about the motives and personalities of other characters, be it annabeth, grover, or luke (personally, i’m really excited to see how his character’s story goes).

anyway, all of this is to say that the percy series is great for what it is (an adaptation of a book series). yes it could be better (cough longer and more episodes cough), but i personally really enjoy it so far.

@shrimpuufriend told me that Capcom had recently released never-before seen concept art of the original Rockman (Which you can find here!), and it is the coolest thing EVER.

That said, I wanted to be the first person to make something based off of the newly surfaced concept art, so I took one featured sketch of Rockman and turned it into its own sprite piece, complete with a faux beta title screen I craftily edited into the manual! 💙✨

I finished MDZS and I was like hey this book is great, let’s start The Untamed and then I saw the bad cgi/mask and I physically couldn’t do it so I was like hey it’s animated let’s watch that. I know some things were changed and it was shorter but it shouldn’t be too bad, and like it wasn’t. My biggest complaints about certain scenes being cut could mostly be explained by like censorship which I can get but I was like happy enough with it until they did Jiang Cheng so fucking dirty for no reason.

okay y'all this summer i'll make a youtube channel with a series where i just play videogames while high and try to talk abt deep feminist/activist topics and somehow make sense. it'll probably be a mess but a fun mess :3 i also want a series on that channel where i do feminist & sapphic media analysis, mostly of anime and old school cartoons bc i feel like there's way less media analysis vids abt animated media than abt other kinds of tv/movies! i want to make them about older kinds of animated media and compare it thru feminist lenses with animated media made these days!! i'm just very curious to see how they compare by delving deep into them. and i mean... it's an excuse to binge cartoons :P i also want to do it anonymously so i can get a little bit radfem without fearing abt my safety yay /s. i'll start off with just a series of clips of the shows i'm talking about in my vids but eventually i want to commission a little drawing of smtg that'll represents me with different expressions/reactions and use it on my channel hehe. i also want to put vids of my bunnies every now and then! and eventually some let's plays too. I'M SO EXCITEDDDDD

I'M SORRY TO BE CRINGE BUT BEING A YOUTUBER IS MY DREAM

what i think is the reason I'm Just Ken is a good/as popular as it is is because the way it somehow explores both what its like to be a woman and man just through ken.

like the line "I'm just Ken. Anywhere else I'd be a ten." just feels very hitting as a woman in a social media world, especially if you've seen the truerateme subreddits and the ways they judge women.

and of course the fragility and inability to find meaning/self worth outside of a romantic relationship due to the strict boxes placed on men and male relationships (and even friendships between men and women).

theres more and i know im getting annoying with the barbie posts but i did really like the movie, regardless of how "bland" its feminism is. also just all the chronically online feminists complaining about how basic it is, like oh should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite andrea dworkin.

like is it perfect? no. does it lack in intersectionality and have poc characters act as the support to white characters? yes. should ken probably of apologized? yeah. but many things can be true about one movie.

people trying to spin the ruby situation into being about medication/therapy/whatever already sound like theyre on insane levels of cope but if any of the writers try to pull that shit i'll be so mad

"it wasnt a terrible suicide allegory it was actually a DIFFERENT terrible allegory and we just used suicide imagery and framing for pure shock value and a cliffhanger!" i think thatd be worse actually
