i really do think the desire to paint ten as unambiguously The Worst™️ when it comes to his relationship with martha is out of this desire to uncomplicate their relationship. to decouple them as friends and people who profoundly impacted each other’s lives. it’s just an easier narrative to swallow: that ten was Awful to her and then martha kicked him to the curb when she realized she was too good for him. easier, maybe, then dealing with the troubles of unrequited affection don’t have to be anyone’s fault, or that ten shut martha out in a lot of ways but let her in in others that he wouldn’t let any other companion near, or that they were still friends, they still wanted to see each other and be around each other, even though it was messy and sometimes hurt. you know?

#sometimes the doctor is shitty. this is not news we know this. this is part of the package. its what makes their relationships with their #companions so interesting so important.#like. how do i put this. i see posts sometimes about how ten was ‘leading martha on’ implying that he was taking advantage of her feelings #to keep her around. and. okay. so. putting aside how that’s a weird thing to say about anyone period.#its also just. from my viewing experience. not true?#the doctor is just sort of Like That. he’s too intense he’s too quick to grasp for emotional intimacy he’s too messy.#but he’s not leading her on. he really is just Like That.#like i feel by getting caught up in the fact that martha is hurt by being compared to rose and is hurt by the fact that the doctor can’t or #won’t return her feelings. and like. yeah. of course that hurts.#but in being caught up in that. i think what im saying is that it feels like people sometimes forget that he’s. not required to do that.#like just because she has feelings for him doesn’t mean he needs to get over himself and return them or else he’s using her. that’s. that’s #not how relationships work. people can have romantic feelings and still be friends and not have anything come of it and that’s not a #terrible outcome. thats just how friendships are sometimes.#thats the core of it to me. they’re friends. the way people post about ten & martha sometimes i wonder if everyone’s forgotten that they #are friends. that they last parted as friends. that martha doesn’t hate him or secretely resent him for how he treated her.#like. she’s got complicated feelings about the whole thing. but they didn’t stop being friends.#i tell you what: if the doctor was in trouble and called for help. you could be damn certain that martha jones would be one of the first #people to answer. that’s what i know.#doctor who #the doctor #tenth doctor #martha jones

seriously i'd actually rather my art get stolen on instagram or some shit

kiyo is not "misunderstood" and did not "deserve better", they're only saying that because he's hot. i do not approve of my art being used for whatever nonsense point they're bending over backwards to make. embrace villains or bust.

why the FUCK are they using the post where i made him talk about screwing ryoma. does screwing ryoma make him redeemable

i'm going to burn tiktok to the ground

#jay-reid #asks #danganronpa #i've noticed something #characters like teruteru hifumi and kazuichi are terrible horrible creeps #but the hot ones #mikan miu and kiyo (and hiyoko bc she spiked the soup hello)#they're poor babies who were done so dirty by the writers uwu #how could the writers treat them this wayyyy? UWU #LIKE NO #SANS HIFUMI THEY'RE ALL JUST CREEPS.#that's how they're WRITTEN gsdfdkjn #if you don't like that the writers made them creeps then i regret to inform you #you don't actually like the character!!! you only like what you want them to be!!#rant over #don't use tiktok it's brain rot

Going to say this now even though I barely post here::::: Adaptations are never meant to be a 1:1 recreation of the original source material. The goal is never to recreate the exact same experience in a different format, the whole point of remaking something in a different format is to make something new.

I don’t understand why people are out here acting like the new Netflix ATLA walked onscreen, shot the original with a 44 and declared itself the new ATLA. I’m not saying you can’t criticise anything about it or any other adaptation, I just think a lot of people need to remember that an adaptation that gives you the same experience and explores the exact same themes and doesn’t elaborate on or look at things in different angles would be utterly pointless.

#honestly disappointed with how a lot of people are treating the cast of child actors #like even if you don’t like the script writing you don’t need to come after the kids #maybe the fans just have trauma from that terrible movie and don’t know how to cope with an actually decent adaptation idk #while I agree that a lot of live action remakes of animated media are unnecessary that doesn’t instantly make them bad yk #avatar the last airbender #Atla #netflix atla #netflix avatar #avatar live action #natla #natla positivity #natla review #natla critical #avatar analysis

The way people write John in fic bothers me so much sometimes. Not to judge other people’s writing specifically, just the general fanon characterization of John Winchester. Yes he’s bad a father. Horrible. So much to unpack there. Yet I find it so disappointing when I go to read a fic and he’s like. Cartoonishly villainous. Excluding the fans that actually like John (which is even more crazy), it feels like everyone treats him as like this big bad one dimensional monster which imo is a disservice to the complex relationship Sam and Dean have with them. It’s also a symptom of a broader pattern in media, or even real world events. It’s so much easier to flatly paint anyone bad as inhuman, one dimensional, and just plain evil. Monstrous. But the reality is, every horrible person is still a person. Humans are capable of the evil we do, not monsters.

So when it comes to John, like yes, he is deeply deeply flawed. He really hurt his kids. But often when people write him, it feels like he makes all of his terrible decisions for the sake of being mean and terrible and abusive, which undermines the dynamic because the reality is people can be abusive or neglectful or toxic without being a complete monster 100% of time. It would almost be easier for Sam and Dean if John had actually been like that. But he was their father, who did what he thought was best, and loved them even if he didn’t show it. They have fond memories with him. He’s their father. Which is what makes it so hard for them to actually unpack the trauma they have, because it is so so difficult to realize a person you love is actually actively hurting you. Harder than realizing a villain in your life is just being a villain.

#idk just felt like rambling tonight lol. whenever I read fic with John it’s always like him being as awful as possible #even when it doesn’t align with any character motivations #spn #supernatural #this is a reflection of how we treat morality in media too imo #like there has to be a good guy and a bad guy that is just bad.#and then people apply it to real life. like oh obviously that terrible person is just a monster #but no!!! the people that are kind to you. the people that love you. the people you love. are capable of doing bad things.#and we blind ourselves to realizing when people are harmful by dehumanizing these people because then it be aimed harder to accept #when someone that seems good is actually not

modern trek erasing mccoy is genuinely my villain origin story

#mine #i just remembered how terribly mccoy was treated in into darkness again #and how the changes they made fully cut out the katra of it all #i mean they literally had not established the kirk + spock friendship enough to even make the story make sense at that point #they were fully leaning on tos and the pop culture history of it but they didn't EARN it at ALL #meanwhile they HAD established the kirk + mccoy friendship and they didn't even have mccoy in the goddamn room #unlike tos which of course had spock have his moment with mccoy BEFORE he goes in (and then of course the katra)#also i haven't watched SNW (and likely won't) but the fact they haven't had mccoy on there.................#anyway. it's. just. Interesting. is all.#[powering up my comically large supervillain ice ray]#(also let's not even talk about the certain segments of fandom that do it too lmao y'all know who you are)#i am too sleepy to be writing this so i am not putting it in the tags i'm positive it's bitchier than i mean it to be i'm just. v annoyed.#lol. lmao even. giggling cutely as i sharpen my knife. don't. erase. the doctor.

What a great day to continue to refuse to accept the AtLA comics as canon

#atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #zuko #oh zuko isn't descended from that family he's descended from that random guy his mom banged #that we never heard about or met in the show #which you know makes ozai's hatred seem like it has a ''reason'' beyond him being terrible #not that that justifies his actions but still #also what a fucking moron zuko's mom was to be sleeping around when married to ozai #not to mention how it treated azula

On a completely different note, thinking about Halsin's point 'n click line if you have him pickpocket: "Perhaps I missed my calling as a thief," and this other point 'n click sneaking around line: "Unnoticed? *snickers* Good."

And relating those with no good reason to Halsin's snippy observations in Thorm's tomb : "To seal away that which a person no longer needs is to lessen the Oak Father's bounty for all." And "Such hoarding of wealth. A tomb for riches that could be put to better use [...] This gold may never see daylight again while others go cold and hungry."

Because it brings to my silly little mind Halsin getting to a point of frustration where he's yoinking coin pouches from wealthy elites in Baldur's Gate, "accidentally" spilling the coins on the ground for the refugees and children to take - whoops how clumsy of me - and looming over those same elites with an unsettling, even smile asking if there is a problem if they start screeching about thievery.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #stereotypical flanderization of robin hood's MO this SOB #you've been robbed you say? how terrible - perhaps your clockwork friends can help?#halsin stop that 'i will not actually'#good is not always moral and moral is not always nice #like he was about to knock out that racist high elf in wyrm's crossing i don't think he'd be against petty thievery to feed the homeless #considering when kagha uses the 'she stole the idol!' bit on halsin he's like 'and explain to me how that fucking justifies #anything you did or were planning to do'#do i think he'd actually do this? probably not but i wish he would #(also those clockwork coppers would make it harder for the refugees likely and i doubt halsin wants that)#he approves cooperating and going quietly when necessary but jokes on you he won't let anyone get caught - if ya'll can do crime #i can also do a lil crime - as a treat #there's only one thing to do - rob graves and redistribute the wealth - NO

just thinking about how will COULD have turned to drugs like jonathan (or something worse) to deal with the fact that mike was so distant from him but he instead chose to paint mike a picture that reminded him of a childhood that he wasn’t even sure mike wanted anymore and will byers chose to hope and. i just think that says a lot about his character

#he’s just a baby boy #he deserves the world #@ astrobei this is your fault you got me in my will feels #also listening to this is what the drugs are for by gracie abrams and it COULD have been will but it wasn’t #bc he’s so pure he was just hoping and praying that mike would want to be his friend again and nothing more #no matter how terribly mike had treated him before will knew that it wasn’t the mike he’d come to love #so he’d painted him a picture of the four of them as their dnd characters to try to remind mike of where they started #im gonna cry again #byler #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #💛💙#🫧🪴

Emma is so compelling to me, especially now that I’ve read her interlude.

She was just a little kid who was a little spoiled, selfish and cowardly and the right set of circumstances came together to make her ruin her life on purpose.

She intentionally becomes what she sees as a bad person because she is desperate to avoid pain and the emotions that swirl in her own head. She is essentially a foil to Taylor in how none of what she does to herself would have been possible without the systems in place enabling her. The system enable her to become a bully the same way Taylor becomes a villain in opposition to it.

Reading her interlude I wanted nothing more for her to recover and come out healed. Finding a way to fix the damage she is doing to herself but I’ve seen enough spoilers to know that it doesn’t happen.

She drives her life into the ground and she is pretty miserable about it the whole way through. Everything might been different if someone had stepped in and stoped her from hurting herself and Taylor. The system fails one more time to protect people.

I was gonna put a whole personal anecdote here but instead I’ll just say that I’m so deeply sad that we don’t set up our world to protect and help people who need it. We have the resources to protect people but we don’t use them. It’s so deeply tragic.

#worm spoilers #parahumans #worm web serial #worm #taylor hebert #emma barnes #I can’t believe I have to post about Emma Barnes #I’m terrible at analysis #get someone else to do it #also someone write some good Emma fanfic for me please #I need it in my bones #wormblr #also wasn’t a big fan of how they show Emma is going downhill #by having her side with Sophia #like I get what it’s going for but show her some sympathy too lol #she’s also a traumatized 15 year old but they treat her like she’s jack slash #not that he’s unsympathetic either but you get it

we're so lucky we get to know deva the way varadha sees him:

passionate, brave, and warm.

because the rest of the world definitely sees him in a completely different light. anyone who has not seen the kind of person deva turns into around varadha probably thinks that he's depressed, boring, and either a pushover or overly aggressive.

it's definitely what aadhya thought until she heard about deva's story from bilal.

(which is just another reason aadhya and deva would never work. would anyone fall in love with someone who for a while, came across as detached, was a momma's boy – and not in a good way – and didn't even try to help you, even when they could?)

#that whole spiel about love making you a better person #but somehow...varadha & deva bring out the best AND worst in each other.#aadhya had a such a terrible first impression of deva rip #i'd understand if aadhya is fascinated by deva. psychologically.#but anything more and it wouldn't be realistic based on how deva has treated her so far #varadeva #salaar

~🌺🌼⚘Squashed Flower Stays⚘🌼🌺~

This summer I followed a workshop on natural fabric dying or tataki zomé, or as I like to call it Squashed Flower Dyeing with a Hammer!

And me being who I am, I decided to immediately graduate from test strips into making fabric for stays.

The technique of this is that flowers naturally have pigments. If you place a fresh flower on some cotton or linen, sandwich it between some more linen and smash it with a big rubber mallet, those pigments get squashed in your fabric. You get a coloured squash print of a flower or leaf:

Then you wash your fabric in iron sulfate (your fabric goes yellow and your print goes black) white vinegar (your colours stay, reds go pink) or alun/aluin (your colours fix but go more purple).

The sad thing is, the colours fade very quickly. The fresher your leaf, the brighter the mark, but even the vibrant colours fade when they come into contact with the sun :(

Anyway, it turned out very interesting and was great fun to do for an afternoon:

Stay tuned for the turning it into stays part!

(Link here when I get to that)
