#refferences to it at least

I've been seeing some posts about how they haven't brought up ships much at all in 4sd and I thought I'd offer my my 2 cents
I don't think it's really an indicator of what the cast ships or if there's already romantic feelings present between some of the characters, so much as them wanting to let that play out organically at the table.
Talks didn't start until quite a ways into cr1 and at that point the major ships had pretty much been established, so it was natural to talk about them. This wasnt the case for cr2, and there were plenty of times where they actually said they didn't wanna do ship-talk at all
Now, if you were there for cr2 you know they did not manage to stick to that. Shipping came up *a lot* and it absolutely did not help the toxic hellhole that was the campaign 2 ship wars, which sucked a lot of fun out of the whole thing for both cast and fans alike
The lack of ship-talk on 4sd doesn't mean they don't care about any ships or aren't curious(I think the behavior at the table makes pretty clear at least some players like a certain fan-favorite ship), it just means they've taken notes from the previous mess and are navigating things differently this time around
#critical role#just to be clear im not blaming the cast for the toxicity of the fandom#but its silly to pretend talks had no effect on it at all#i felt bad for dani when she said she didnt wanna talk about her shios anymore but it was a good call#it was obvious back then that she did choose a lot of asks geared towards her ships#and it did add to the tensions already rising#and as valid as liam was for not liking all the ships him making digs at some of them obviously didnt help either#4sd is clearly built around being less inflammatory#and while its not their resposibility to monitor fandom behavior i cant say i think its a bad call#cr discourse#refferences to it at least

do you know what i'm talking about if it isn't you... because if not this is embarrassing...
Anon I have no idea what you're talking about.
I haven't publish (nor read for that matter) anything NT related in maybe a decade.
Now, that said... The what comic about dr sloth's twink??
#vin answers#anon im sorry i have no idea what youre reffering to JHASDKFASD#i only got my retail neo account back after years of not being able to enter it like 2 weeks ago and just restarted my neo fix like a month#listen; i did not want to be known as the “babygirl sloth” artist in the neotag by any means#at least not before being an actual artist that is#not this early HJFFJSK#but the existence of whatever anon described only fills me with dread#and probably makes me rethink of whatever i did draw and how it can be taken completely serious by some....... individuals#that or it gains me death threats for making a space dictator into an egirl in some shape or form#i have to come clean..... i haven't read the dr sloth plot lmao#i started it and never finished i have no idea what he even does in neopets#an now im too afraid to actually read it HJDFHJSD#anyways thanks you for the ask anon i..... i do not know what to do with this information#but i do not what to claim ownership of said cursed arts#but it did give me the idea to make a random image of my grundo lad making a thumbs up next to dr sloth#and just having an upper text “DR SLOTH” and bottom text “AND THE TWINK”#its just hilarious to think about

A style/ fanon vs canon comparison, as prompted by @emfisketch!
Like the very second I saved the pee-en-gee it occured to me that wait did this necessarily need to be Fakir or were we just drawing whoever but I can't find the OG post so whatever. #fakirsweep
#princess tutu#fakir#fanart#my art#you know#this wouldve made a lot more sense if i drew this boy the same way twice in my life.#but it is what it is#the problem with this was that like#the way i understood the prompt was like#first use a refference to draw the boy in your style but without the fanon filter on. then go crazy go stupid and compare the results#but the thing is in a sense. the way I draw the characters is an interpretation of the canon! its not like a redesign its just. well.#an interpretation!#and regardless of how different my personal style is all the basic elements are very much lifted from the canon!#all the basic shapes are there. the details may differ but the influence is loud and clear#at least to me that is#so while drawing the canon style version i just sorta ended up simply copying the style#btw. since my own style is far less simplistic than that of the show#(when im not drawing shitposts at least)#it was an interesting excercise to try to pin down the shows style at least partially#my conclusions are: 1) it's all in the proportions. copying a shape is easy but compiling all the shapes together in a specific way?-#-that's the real tricky part#2) i need to work on my shapes.#lineart also jesus christ#another thing i realized is how much my perceptions are... different.#like. most ppl see fakir as green haired but#the thing is. very few things in nature are like. TRULY black or white right?#and then theres accounting for how and what type of light hits the object and also which colors its cast against#and ofc because of all this color theory stuff AND because art doesnt immitate life so much as interpret it#i always sorta grokked fakir's hair as black#and the green was just. highlights. you know?

Watching through the show for the 1 millionth time and I just realized the episode Plague of Babies is infinitely funnier when you realize that Zim probably had genuinely not realized (at least by that point) that human infants are like a new level of harmless in the levels of fuck all they can do compared to irken infants who literally have all of their society's knowlege plugged into their brains minutes after being born, I know it might be a sorta "no duh" thing but It's 5 in the morning and I thought it was very funny silly to think about
#sludgetalkz#invader zim#i mean like. dude you SAW how badly he started freaking out just seeing one look at him through the window#thinking its gonna go tell the ''earth authorities'' when human babies cant even talk for at least a year or more#and ''talk'' being a generous way to reffer to it#i know it turned out to actually be a race of alien murder babies the whole time but he very clearly didnt know that LOL

I just want acknowledgement that I was a very brave boi and called to make a mental self appointment for me today. We are being a responsible human being who don't take no shit from their brain!
#personal#having a rough day and all my safe people are gone#all but 1 but hes being very chummy with the people my brain has deemed unsafe#i know its not a good mentality to be untrustworthy espeacially of new people because they havent even done anything yet#but its that cliche left out feeling you get when everyone is in the know and you have no fucking idea whats going on#ive been circling the drain for awhile but im realising that after 5 months i need to make a self refferal because the doctors one is just#not getting me anywhere#i want more friends#i want someone to be my partner#i want the eddie to my buck or the hen to my chim#whys life so hard :'(#sorry forbthe negativity just needed a safe place to rant#at least 911 is on tonight so thats something positive

Upon further examination, I am leaning more and more into Otto being a nonbinary egg opposed to a nonbinary person who uses he/him pronouns. Thanks for the help Mi-ma <3
#rat rambles#oni posting#she reffers to them as 'that nice young man' in one of her journal entries which is what tipped the scale for me#like its obviously possible that granny assumed incorrectly but given how much otto likes her Im inclined to believe shed know if they#were openly nonbinary especially given how personal otto has been with her already#but rly its mostly that combined with the other big thing that makes me feel that they probably were an egg at the time#so I shallst continue to use they/them for otto unless I find a new log that explicitly confirms their preffered pronouns#nothing short of otto saying out loud yeah Im not a man but I still wanna go by the same stuff will fully convince me#bonus points if they talk abt it with dr.holland so that he can make his gender identity clear too#also to be clear there are no mi-ma transphobia allegations to be found here I just think she doesnt know#she has so fucking many nonbinary coworkers and at least one of them is also on the older end and has been at the company for a while#plus I doubt theyre putting transphobia in the colony survival game like imagine if dont starve characters called eachother slurs#so no mi-ma slander shall be tollerated also she is trans (2 Me)#shes literally named mi-ma you cannot convince me she is cis#she is such a silly billy I wish so bad that she showed up in more logs#maybe even given an official full name drop to clear up any doubts#given her whole character is being old and mi-ma's whole thing is being the old one its like 99%#but technically speaking we never do get a full name just last name and first initial#so very technically speaking she could be one of the other 3 available m named guys but its highly unlikely#as in the other options are meep max and marie and no way in hell it's any of them#theyre all young chaps and theres only one hashtag woman in their ranks along with a nonbinary person and a hashtag man#so basically yeah its mi-ma there's no way in hell its not mi-ma

I think whats been pushing me more and more to DC is the fact that I'm sick and tired of big boom movies.
Like movies that pass on the span of 1-3 days. There's no development the characters as stagnant, the writers tries to gaslight you the entire time between fight scenes and overly emotional moments that those guys are bonding and actually becoming friends when they don't even know eachother. It feels artificial and you have no moment to breath and care about those characters. But you need to care anyway because- Oh! Another boom moment OOPS the might dieee~~
Like no.
The last movie I've seen from the mcu that felt like it give a shit about it's characters and their development and their bond as human beings were The black widow AND EVEN SO. They managed to push in a stupid fighting in the middle of the air scene.
IN A BLACK WIDOW MOVIE??????????
The entirety of many super-hero movies this days feel like it's trying to distract you from the plot holes with shining explosions and shallow humor instead of, you know? Building a plot.
And I'm not going even start about how many characters are a shallow form of their comic counterparts.
And listen. I like big boom movies. I like explosions, I like big actions sequences and I love LOVE scream at my screen wondering if it all go to hell or they all will make it. It's rewarding it really is. When it has stakes about it.
I think the best example I could give is Transformers and Fast and Furious franchise and listen people can complain about it all they want. It's not perfect and it was many many early-2000's sins and flaws. But anyone who watched for not a single moment, a single minute, question how much those characters care for eachoter. The movies take time to introduce them, to care about their friendship, to stabilize their personality traits, to built and give every now and then little tips about their inner lives and relationships and the fucking world building.
The world building of those movies is insane. It has so much freedom and so little shame (confidence) on what their doing that "Yeah of course students from Tokyo spend their time out of school drifting with cool Y2k cars why wouldn't they?"
Superhero movies most of the time feel like they're ashamed of being super hero movies. They're ashamed of their characters having emotions and they're ashamed about their characters being vulnerable (if isn't for a cool inspirational fight scene that will look cool in a trailer).
We joke and all, but for not a single scene fast and furious were ashamed of showing how much Don Toretto love every single one of his friends. How he would die for each one of them. They hug, they joke, they laugh with eachother between scenes, they feel like a family.
All that mcu characters seems to do this days is be annoyed and complain about every little shit and every single person they claim to love. If you would take a shot everytime a mcu character bitch about something, I don't care how much alcohol you generally can take it, you'd probably end up in a hospital anyway.
Transformers were less pussies about showing a man bonding with a fucking car (with even music montage!), than mcu showing what is supposed to be a literal "found family".
Transformers had more patience of showing world building and show-not-tell about cars who were secretly space-aliens than MCU had for what twenty movies? They literally put an know-it-all character to infodump the shit and then somehow make the audience feel stupid if they don't get it.
for example there's this thing that the main character doesn't know so he goes to the know-it-all character (generally Strange but it used to be Tony), so the know-it-all character roll their eyes because how stupid of the main character not know about the fucking powerful magic pen or whatever who was made by a fucking titan-witch-who-cares-because-it-probably-was-made-it-up-for-this-one-and-only-movie and then get all passive aggressive while they infodump the instructions that the main character is going to fuck-up anyway, because they need a third arc.
Bro I'm tired.
They have no comic accuracy (which you know? whatever at this point. They're doing their own thing anyway), no character development, no respect for it's characters and/or their traumas, no actual interesting world building thats not "oh! look at this refereeeence!!! aren't we coool??? please please tell us were still cool!! 🥺🥺" , no interest in exploring or developing actual bonds and friendships, no terrifying villains, no original plot, no different methods of story telling, WHAT DO THEY HAVE????
COOL EXPLOSIONS??? FIGHTING SCENES????? Its 2022 babes you got that from commercials.
And I'm this pressed because I'm disappointed. Because it used to be great. It used to actually give a shit. Many characters are being introduced to their first time in FOREVER. And now they don't even feel like trying.
We used to go to a movie theater having no idea what they would adapt and how they would portray the character and be pleasant surprised in the different forms of telling a story. Like remember how people used to be friends on mcu?? Actually give a shit about eachoter, actually be pleased about being around eachother. Like-they made Tony Stark seem like a cool chill dude who genuinely cares about people.
They would take actual comic book arcs and introduce to the theaters in a way to explain why their characters are like that, what they stand for, what they represent. The story was made for it's characters not the other way around. It took time and care and innovation.
Fuck they even were better at making military propaganda (which I don't know how to feel about it).
I'm just not excited anymore to watch a movie and than think about it and realize I didn't even enjoy the time I had, because it never fucking stopped to breathe, so I was just stressed the whole time about the big boom thing that wasn't even that good in the end.
It's shallow, it's annoying and I'm not sure if I can do it anymore.
And as a queer person I'm also fucking exhausted about seen straigh people have all the fun all the fucking time, even when the- you know, the actual character? from the comics? Are not even straight in the first place, yeah I'm looking at Peter Quill.
Thanks for coming to my tedtalk fuck Marvel and their constipated repressed ass.
#please know when I'm shitting on the mcu I am NEVER NEVERRR reffering to this lovely lady right there#* points to Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok and Captain America trilogy *#Idk if Iron Man trilogy still counts as mcu but I'm also pointing anyway#marvel#marve slander#mcu slander#q rambles#dc#and no I don't think DC is perfect they have a whole other set of problems but at least???? they're not a coward

"but if it were me, I'd really wanna be, a giant woman"
stevens relationship with gender is so fascinating to me. his entire diamond days arc is a clear trans allegory, but more specifically reads as a transmasc allegory, what with everyone reffering to him as "rose" or "pink" and feminine terms despite his repeated insistence that he is *steven*. and yet he never actually corrects anyone when they use she/her. he only corrects his name. this was pointed out in the tags of that one post youve probably seen:
this post doesnt show it, but steven is delighted when blue said this. obviously you can read this as steven being glad that shes making an effort, even if incorrect, and is just choosing to let the wrong pronouns slide. but its never explicitly stated. and like i said, he never corrects she/her, he only corrects his name. although it is interesting that, by the time the movie rolls around, the diamonds have switched to he/him.
its also interesting to mention how excited he was to put on pink diamonds outfit, and also how quickly he took it off once he got the chance.
of course stevens relationship with his mother and his identity issues are going to play a big part in how he percieves his gender, given that for a large chunk of the show he actually belived they were the same person, at least to some extent. ("im my mom and my sister?! what kind of magical destiny is this?!). how would you define your "agab" when half your family is telling you that you are a centuries old alien called rose/pink who has no sex and used she/her? not to mention all of the various gender identities and pronouns his fusions have.
thats not even getting started on how the gems percieve gender, which is to say, they generally don't. gems are sexless beings and their society has no concept of gender, although after spending a long time on earth im sure the crystal gems have a better understanding (i actually could talk about the gems relation to human gender a lot more but ill save that for another time). for steven, a child raised by gems for a good chunk of his childhood- who use feminine terms as a default-i can see how that would lead to some interesting perceptions on gender presentation.
thats not even getting into stevens gender noncomformity. and while gender presentation doesnt necessarily have anything to do with your gender identity, its interesting to note and i just think its really cool that a male protagonist is so unapologetically feminine
also i could talk for days about connie and stevens knight/princess dynamic, and how it parallels pearl and roses, but in a healthier way that nips the whole "obssesive self sacrifice" thing in the (rose) bud as soon as steven notices it. but then id have to talk about pearl and then wed be here all day lol
so yeah, stevens relationship with gender fascinates me. I mean, does the concept of "cisgender" even apply in the way we usually mean it to, given stevens unique experiences?
