steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower
A 25.000 years old former robot general turned shadow empress trapped in a constant existential dilemma of not knowing whether she truly feels affection for others or if itâs only what her programming dictates condemned by that programming to be the mother and lover of multiple generations of clones of the guy who trapped her and at the same time so needy to believe in something so she secretly embraces a religion based on reincarnation which she herself can never have because she cannot die. And youâre telling me there are people who hate this character? Are we insane? Demerzel, my love, no one could ever, not even in hell itself, do me anything but adore you.
crazy how most of us made friends on here because we were going insane about the same 2 freaks at the same time. like oh youâre up thinking about them too?
you might never had met your mutuals if you werenât actively losing brain cells over the same thing. but Iâm so glad we were both up reblogging and posting like a madman because now we know each other.

I struggle with a lot of veggies bc of my autism and issues with textures so the last ones I ate were carrots, onions and mushrooms all cut up small and hidden in a lasagne. 10/10
we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.
#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said theyâd compromised on hundreds of things theyâd wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphireâs relationship#and a number of âfillerâ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in roseâs room stevenâs central conflict about liking their#fave book seriesâ romantic ending was later weaponised when producerâs were like âoh but stevenâs a boy he wonât be too interested in them#getting marriedâ sugar was able to be like âno. in this episode itâs established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes itâs shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as âproblematicâ in class and our professor was like, âThatâs cool, but âproblematicâ doesnât really mean anything. It means that the thing youâre describing has a problem, and in and of itself thatâs not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else itâs not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like youâre trying to say that this is bad, but you donât want to say âbad.â Is that right?â
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the âbadâ thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, âIâm uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.â
Once we stopped calling things âproblematicâ and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, âthatâs racistâ or âthatâs misogynisticâ or âew capitalism grossâ out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, âUhhh... Iâm not sure whatâs so bad?â and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I canât help but think of this professor being like, âGood starting point, now letâs get specific.â I think when we have to commit to saying âthatâs ___â it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever weâre claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes itâs art, and it should be full of problems, because thatâs what art is.
i hate when apps know that iâm screenshotting something. when i screenshot something, thatâs me acting outside your realm of understanding, app. i am beyond what you consider the observable universe. youâre not supposed to perceive me. we donât know when god screenshots the earth. we donât know when heâs like, âokay iâm just gonna take a pic in case i ever want to add dinosaurs back to something later and donât remember how.â and if we did, we wouldnât act all smug about it like, âhey, you wanna share that post? you could just click here to share it.â no, man. you didnât catch me. i screenshotted this for my own reasons. whatâs next? i canât take a photo of my computer screen with my phone out of laziness without being shamed by the printer i donât own?
thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry
â#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvinâs dad to the degree of not even showing Calvinâs excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dadâs expression, #itâs a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it itâs the hat covering his dadâs head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you donât HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that onceâ

Gotta say, even though I love the iconic depiction of witches wearing brimmed hats in Western culture (I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've dressed as such a witch for the carnival) I also gotta give it to Shirahama for the concept of brimmed cap witches using said brims to hide.
In depictions of things happening before the Pact, we've seen quite a few witches with brimmed hats, and no judgment was made on their methods. But in the current era of the story, a brimmed cap pretty much signifies hidden agendas. That if you hide your face it means that you have something to hide.
And despite being quite simple, it's also quite brilliant. One single change and the narrative can immediately point us towards something. It's interesting because pretty much all of us are familiar with the depiction of a witch in a brimmed hat. But suddenly, the intensity of that meaning in the story immediately catches our attention.
That is to say, I want to point out that brims are a symbol of hidden agendas. Not necessarily evil morals.
(manga spoilers under the cut)
Because while you have Iguin and Sasaran and the whole dark aura around brimmed caps, it's a legitimately shocking and tragic revelation to see Custas don one of his own.
Ininia is a little harder to get around (not that she deserves all she's getting, she's also still a child!), but Custas we knew already. We saw how devoted he was to Dagda and how much it had cost him to lose use of his legs. We wanted a better future for him, and he was just given a start of it before it was promptly ripped away. So to see him be indoctrinated, practically, into that side during such a vulnerable and desperate time of his young life is tragic. I mean, as much as the pointed caps loyal to the Great Hall were complicit in or outright guilty of people like him being segregated, the Brimmed Caps pretty much experimented on him. It's really a rock and a hard place to be caught between.
And speaking of experiments, another shocking image is the one where Qifrey confesses to having been the subject of one.
The shadow of a yet-unknown brimmed cap behind him, showing how he's still haunted by what they did to him. I'm of the belief that Qifrey would be one of the last people to willingly join the Brimmed Caps for whatever reason, given his history with them, so it really catches my attention how this depiction is very much not a foreshadowing that he'll join them, but a depiction that in his attempt to hunt them down he ends up going down some similar paths. Not only through using memory wipe spells on his own initiative (which in this case is forbidden magic since those spells are supposed to only be used to protect the secret of magic-making, and that's not what he uses them for), but also through the depiction of how his own hat includes a trait of the Brimmed Caps: a way to hide behind secrets, both with the memory wipe spell and the fold that covers part of the face.
And all that is achieved through the very simple set-up of establishing that a brimmed cap means hidden agendas and a refusal to follow the rules. Because again, Shirahama makes it clear that it is not pointed cap = good witch and brimmed cap = bad witch. Through giving us background on Qifrey and Custas and then smacking us with those depictions and at the same time showing how much non-witches and even some witches suffer because of the tight rules the Great Hall imposes, the narrative shutters this shallow interpretation.
