This is really long. I am not joking, but I couldn't stew in my incoherent thoughts any longer:

I wanted to express about how three episodes ago I was like “I’m a Kinn apologist now” and how I totally somehow understood his intentions…and how I might be a little like a Kinn with the NOT COMMUNICATING and the major TRUST issues. However, my soul has left my body and I am now and forever in Pete’s shoes. Don’t ask me to elaborate, I just am. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention to the story and KP itself. In fact, it was what I was consistently talking about up through episode 9. Basically, I was all in for KP and didn’t quite give any notice to Vegas (literally didn’t even bat an eyelash at him) and/or Pete for that matter. Did hold onto the assumption that there was always something about Pete and now here we are so sucked into the VegasPete vacuum that we’re choosing to live there.

Still unsure of what else the show could’ve been titled because I get it. It’s called KinnPorsche and so everyone wants the focus there, but coming from a Supernatural watcher who spent most of their days arguing why in the living freaking world did Sam and Dean Winchester have to do this alone? Why did the freaking story just have to be about them when SPN had such an elaborate world system with plenty of side A and side B characters that could’ve remained as part of the integrity of the show (aka as part of the Winchester family business)? Does that even make sense? I don't see why more characters can't surround the main characters of a story, unless you’ve written a one- or two-person theatre production.

However, such series or shows exist as ENSEMBLE casts. And now is there a hierarchy to an ensemble cast? Yes, and it’s all dependent on INDIVIDUAL story as well. Most importantly, the individual story must also serve the MAIN plot, or some circumstances within an episode (which the show 911 does a lot- it serves purposes through each episode while in the end culminating their character/family stories together). Take for instance, (going back to KinnPorsche) we know more truths about Vegas and we know Pete must go back to the main family at some point; thus, relatively speaking it SERVES the PLOT while the last two episodes have ALSO served as individual character “growth” for Vegas and Pete’s characters.

Now, are there decisions story and plot wise that you as the viewer will go WTF over? Of course! But there’s civil discourse and then there’s just being reactionary for reactionary’s sake (aka hate watching). For example, I kinda felt a bit meh when Porsche did the thing of listening in on Kinn (AGAIN) and assuming he is cheating. Also, Kinn still doing that thing where he can’t just speak about his feelings? Could he at this point, plainly tell the man flirting, yeah, um no can do, there’s someone. No names, of course. Just basically saying it won’t happen and technically in his position he need not divulge any more information to the man (and yes, this would be a plausible scenario but the show elected not to do that).

Which also leads me to the fact that Porsche is no longer supposed to be his bodyguard so he's acting as the protective (jealous) boyfriend (AGAIN). And if Kinn is still going to be in this job and Porsche doesn’t have any AUTHORITY (because he's no longer working for the family) then Kinn won’t or can’t tell him shit anything? It feels like a vicious cycle and at the end of it we see Kinn choosing Porsche, suggesting he could and would relinquish his title? But then we still have this matter concerning Porsche’s parents’ death and how that’ll cause yet another rift between KP? Which Kim be out there solving but also not telling anyone what he knows for some reason because he knows more than KP, right?

Meanwhile, Vegas is eventually confronted by his father (which will SUCK all of us, Vegas included out of the VegasPete vacuum) and somehow Pete will "escape" that vacuum. Pete has his struggles back at the main family compound and then we’ll go back inside the VP vacuum when we see both VegasPete actively choose one another (LIKE FOR REALLY REAL) somehow…?

Ironically, KP is also inside a vacuum, consumed by the overwhelming need to hold onto what they have, but there always seems to be obstacle after obstacle (which could be natural for relationships- those bumps in the road kind of thing, but this is on such a dramatic scale, these bumps). Also, inside this KP vacuum, I kinda went WTF at how easily Porsche was like sure give me your lucky gun, Kinn, I’m going to kill this man. Immediately knew it wouldn’t happen at all, regardless of a child showing up. But that moment did showcase just exactly HOW MUCH PORSCHE HAS NOT LET HIMSELF BREAK DOWN OVER HIS PARENT’S DEATH.

To sum up my MAIN point that I never really established in this, but here it is:

In stories, it’s possible to focus on more than one thing and possible to say I like just this one thing and then also say there isn’t enough of that one thing. In stories, it’s possible to also have individual character growth that might be separate to the plot (aka how technically speaking VegasPete ain’t gotta go that hardcore for each other, because really does it serve the plot which could probably still be executed without the VP vacuum? But hey I live in that vacuum now and it’s such a HOT and DELICIOUS journey for the characters. Feed me, please). VegasPete exists in a vacuum because these two characters happened to be intertwined with one another and KinnPorshce exists in a vacuum because those two characters happened to be intertwined with one another too. Yet (as we've been told) each of these 4 characters are connected to the overarching PLOT and inherently SERVE the MAIN story; like a bridge.

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

These two kids are Hamza (the oldest) and Qusai (the youngest).

Their mother shares this video and bids them goodbye. They were both killed by Israeli bombardment 5 days ago. She says:

[Two days before Hamza and Qusai were killed, hamza asked me: "mom, when we die, where will I go?" And I told him: "you will be a bird in heaven, my love." He said: "and Qusai?" "Just like you inshallah."

And indeed, two days later, he left and took his brother with him. It's like he was preparing me for saying goodbye to both of them. Heaven is more beautiful than any place on this Earth, habibi. We will meet and be reunited one day, me, your dad and you two].

Our kids don't deserve to die already thinking about what will happen to them, they don't deserve to die already terrified, anticipating their death because the world failed them and decided their lives mean nothing. We are not numbers. Remember their names and their stories.

Nex Benedict's death wasn't just for being transgender, it was for being native too. 2 Spirits are revered in many native cultures and it is a native-specific identity. This wasn't just a hate crime against trans & NB individuals, this was also a hate crime against Natives of Turtle Island.

You cannot separate Nex's trans identity from their native identity - this is a case of MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits).

Native children being killed at school is nothing new, so it's equally important to talk about Nex's native identity and being intersectional, this is a devastating tragedy for indigenous people, the queer community & especially those of us who are both indigenous and queer.

May Nex rest in peace 🪶

and they never talked about it again

(high res version for patr0ns!!)

i think they should take turns cuddling for healing purposes

Get shigeo'd idiot

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

Hi~ I`m with some Aang and Zu

oh and somehow this one was funnier like sketch or idk :_b

They're going to beat you to d-

was feeling silly goofy so I undragoned the dragons

I’ve seen some artists draw human versions of the dragon gang so naturally I wanted to join in the fun 😌

inspired by this post, Danny’s lost in the ghost zone and comes across pariah dark’s keep. I had to draw it and had The most fun with the spooky green ghost zone

guys, i think the hermits are going to accidentally start a prank war again. because just like last time, a game of telephone has begun. first, false made iskall's build into ''false beans,'' her shop from the previous season. however, to give herself plausible deniability, she signs it with "love, Joel. x" due to his username, smallishbeans.

next, iskall sees this, and completely believes it. he thinks it was joel who pranked him, and as he says to pearl while showing off the sign, which he kept even after tearing the prank down, "joel gave me a kiss." in his most recent video, he pranks joel by sending him loads of anonymous messages in order to completely spam and fill his inbox, preventing him from getting any more mail, with notes such as "thinking about you. x"

of course, joel is going to have absolutely no context for this, because he didn't make the initial prank. so who is joel going to assume sent him all those messages while he was away on holiday? well, i have a guess.

etho.

I'm entitled to that. I'm giving you my days. You and me, time and space.

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
