50 shades of Right Hand man :D

Feeling more blue though. Gotta draw more mustache men!

I wonder if every stick man knows how to fight. I mean, we've seen a lot of animations of different stick guys just beating the crap out of each other. It feels like it's in their blood lol

I'm kinda hungry

Why I Am Not Coming In To Work Today [abridged], Jess Zimmerman

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

i really need to finish this one day

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context

its so late but im like. ive been thinking for Three Days Straight about how much i love mileena lmao like okay. okay. she's a fucking construct basically made to be kitana's 'better' replacement & Made To Order to suit her father's purposes, except she's kinda put in this weird position where despite being told she's the rightful heir etc etc, she's also constantly reminded of the fact that she's not the original, that she's a clone at Best. & her tarkatan side is so very off-putting to people around her, she's feared and that gains her some respect but also she's never actually been loved, so there's something she's missing out on and i think honestly on a very deep subconscious level, that's exactly the type of connection she's craving. i don't even know if she would organically want to be khan, or if she just had it drilled into her that it was 1. the only path for her to take and 2. the only way she would ever find any sort of acceptance from anyone, even it was was forced.

i think there's a part of her that really does want a real connection with her sister but because she has no real way of knowing how to build that (not like kitana is interested in the first place lmao) it just manifests in hostility. idk maybe it's just projecting but i read a lot of her lashing out & anger as a cover for a deeper hurt & feeling of isolation. it's very clear that no one is really accepting her for Her nor are they interested in doing so, and i have to believe it's affected her emotional development. i could also just be reading too much into her teddy bear tea party, but there was something i found to be really just... sad almost? about the jade and kitana bears. like yes it's silly or whatever but c'mon. i think it's very much implied that there's some jealousy towards their friendship, and i think that there was a time she would have loved to be included in it but just couldn't break in. i maintain she doesn't actually hate kitana & what we see is a mixture of shao khan's influence + repeated rejection.

i'm not saying that love can 'fix' her or whatever, but i think a genuine friend who was in her corner and just wanted to be around her without fear-based coercion would make a huge impact in her life.

Why is it that adaptations of “children’s” media for all ages or more mature audiences somehow involves “removing subtext” and “explaining everything in simple and plain dialogue to avoid misunderstandings by the audience”

It’s like the media targeted towards a more mature audience has even more hand holding and fewer mature themes than the media targeted towards children.

Like, yeah I watched Avatar when it came out as a young adult, and it has an adult fandom. But like many children’s media that has an all ages fandom, it was made with children in mind but was good enough that everyone could enjoy it. That’s the mark of good all ages content. Why are we making it more mature by like… taking *out* the messaging and subtlety and lessons and putting *in* really blunt dialogue that explains themes no longer present in the media and violence that enforces a message that runs counter to the theme that worked so well in the original media.

Like. Why is it that remakes targeted towards older audiences seem less mature in their storytelling? I know it’s technically “mass market appeal” but still, it feels like the assumption is that adult audiences are more ignorant and incapable of understanding media and difficult subject matter than children, so adaptations more likely to have adult or teen audiences need things explained and the lessons learned more explicitly family friendly and reductive.

The fact i completely forgot to repost this video of mine here says a lot about me. 🗿

It’s always so fun to explore genderbends for how the story gets affected

tried going to bed early bc ive just been sitting staring at the wall or my phone all afternoon but it's been 3 hours now and I can't stop crying. :(

litrlly still hate how ive never seen enough talk abt how mac n dennis Clearly banged in the back office after Maureen kicks em out n they go back to the bar... Like..

dennis’ continual lack of ability to grasp the serious situation he’s in... he’s litrlly in a state of fuckin Afterglow rn dude. like it perfectly mirrors the ‘honeymoon’ phase type of behavior Maureen embodies in the beginning of this very ep....

AND THEN THIS??

LIKE WITH ALL THE AIR OF A MAN WHO JUST PISSED OFF HIS HUSBAND N THEY JUST MADE UP SO HES TRYIN NOT TO PUSH IT AGAIN..... PLEASE??

like this is not just my ‘Headcanon’ or whatever the shit... this is fucking Written Into The Show

(less coherent rambling.. now...)

im telling u... when Dennis talks abt ‘it was a little uncomfortable.. but im glad we got our heart to heart out of the way or whatever...’ HE WAS REFERRING TO SMTH THAT JUST HAPPENED BETWEEN HIM N MAC BETWEEN LAST NIGHT N THAT MORNING?? CUZ THEN HE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN FORGETTING ABT HIS DIVORCE WITH MAUREEN THRU THE NEXT HALF OF THAT SCENE???

its all abt how they bang n dennis thinks Thats enough for them to have been ‘made up’ now cuz thats how dennis has ALWAYS solved problems... but this time its different cuz theres real Emotion behind it now. like its dawning on them both that their previously seeming ‘friends w benefits’ situation was NOT just that cuz theres clearly an emotional conflict here thats going unacknowledged... like dude... then in S6 “Who Got Dee Pregnant?” with the whole thing abt Dennis getting mad at Mac cuz he thought they were gonna go in MATCHING COSTUMES (metaphor for their relationship being fixed aka back to how it was before in s4-pre “Macden Break Up”)... but Mac changes at the last minute, cuz then he makes things “emotional” in the first two eps of s6 so Dennis is mad cuz hes all like “mac messed up our good thing...” cuz hes repressed n forgotten the fact that--- its ALWAYS been emotional. ever since meeting mac in HS u kno dennis had a big fuckin crush but then something fucking traumatic happens that same year so Dennis just totally cuts himself off to cope n Mac doesnt understand so Macden become distant... then get close again by s4.. but just as things seem to be going back to how they were like when Macden first met in like 8th grade/HS whatever... close the way they were before... but then Macden Break Up happens... so Mac is having a similar emotional reaction he’d had when they were teenagers n Dennis started drawing away for no apparent reason (to Mac’s pov) n lashes out with all the Jesus Bullshit trying to hurt Dennis as bad as Mac’s feelin. dude its all soooo.. ITS SO

(ok That last part was all more actual HC shit LOL)

i can feel every single nerve and organ and bone inside my body. an exercise in emptiness: what will the next thought in your head be?

i wonder if the deltarune secret bosses will ever be as hard as Jevil again. Bc like, Jevil was hard, he was sooo fucking hard, he made my eye bleed more than once, only one who also managed that was spamton NEO solo, but that wasn't a secret boss it was the final, so Jevil remains to be the hardest secret boss for now.

On top of that, Jevil has the particularity of being a boss you can easily go back to, which is fair! Imagine if, like Spamton, you were locked from the main story after you open up his gay little cell. People have taken MONTHS to beat this goofy motherfucker, now imagine if you got locked forced to do that.

So there really are two possibilities: either future secret bosses aren't as tough as Jevil OR maybe they work just like him, allowing you to fight them whenever you want and later go back to the future. And I really doubt the later because, like, with Jevil that worked bc there was little to no interaction.

Third secret option is Toby decided to be mean and force you to pay for your actions but I think I'd be allowed to cancel him on Twitter if he did that for making my eyeball straight up blow up.

I am... feelsy over Nathan dealing with his homelessness. Not just him curling up on a crappy mattress in the community centre, or watching outside while his mum and Jeremy laugh and prepare dinner together, and Louise looking happier than Nathan’s seen her in ages despite the fact he isn’t there (or, he fears, because he isn’t there).

But also it sinking in for Nathan in the quiet nights alone that he has no one. His dad doesn’t care about him, his mum is happier with her boyfriend, he hasn’t any friends but the ones he’s made at community service, he has no skills, nothing to really look forward to once his ASBO is done...

...and immediately shoving all that away because no. No, no, no. He’s not going to think about that. So he raids the kitchenette for anything vaguely alcoholic and tries to get some sleep.

Or afterward, when he’s kicked from the community centre and has to live on the streets. He’s too prideful to stay at a shelter, so he makes do with where he can squat and pretends its his kingdom. Except that’s even lonelier. 

The circus is best, when he gets there. It’s food, a bed, some glimmer of fame and adoration. It’s okay if it requires him to die a few times a week. It’s fine. The gasps and cheers and glare of the spotlight makes it worth it.

Then in LA, on the streets again, it’s not as good as the circus, but it’s better than Wertham. He still has no friends or family to fall back on, but the sun bright, the beaches are warm, and the buzzing city life has an energy he can’t ignore. He lives life fast and loud, crashing parties, making scenes, and trying to market himself as a fun-loving, free spirit who doesn’t want to be tied down by material things. No home? No property tax! No car? No need to pay for fuel or repairs! No job? Can’t make him a corporate slave! No girlfriend? Well, that bit sucks, but hey, there’s less responsibility there, and one night stands where he can pull ‘em aren’t so bad.

But.

But he is still lonely. And Nathan hates being alone. Booze and weed will only occupy him for so long, and party drugs are less enjoyable when you have no one to party with. But he’s resilient, and he keeps going, so even when he’s curled up somewhere the wind isn’t so hard, tears catching in his curls and the night chill biting through his hoodie, he tells himself fuck! I’m alone, but maybe if he keeps going, one day he won’t be.

just did the commission where viktor leaves mondstadt...... im so sad dont hmu i miss him 💔💔💔 mr fatooey and lily my emotional support npcs 😭
