idw transformers take on a death god is really good. an amnesiac god of death who has no idea what he is but still feels some sort of pull towards the deaths of others so he goes around cataloguing every fallen and forgotten warrior, performing funeral rites for soldiers whose fate will never be known by anyone else, planting an endless field of flowers and leaving a bit of the fallen’s life inside each petal. a lone soul quietly mourning the lost and forgotten, regardless of what side of the war they were on, still, in a way, unknowingly fulfilling his duty of laying the dead to rest, and bringing their souls to the next life
Someone get me out of here
You are not here to compete. You are not here to keep up with a trend. You are here to share your art with people who really want to enjoy it and interact with it. You are here to ramble about your special interests with people really interested in your special interest. You might even be here to make a friend or two. Most importantly, you're here.
being a fan of a female fictional character is like yes im in love with her soulfully and carnally but i am ALSO her defence attorney her ambassador her pr manager her representative her missionary her right hand arm man her silly rabbit. her scholar her explainer the last man standing in her army. phd in explaining her nuance and depth priesthood in her church. could i be talking about other things?? move on?? maybe!!! were i not the animated suit of armor in her temple bound to protect her for eternity
There is someone on this website who is so talented. Who is very invested in a HIGHLY SPECIFIC movie I will provide 0 details for. That has created an oc they ship passionately with the main character. And I need to get this out there: they have created so much oc x char content that the fandom tag leads to basically all their oc x char content. I cannot make this up.
Guys. This is actually the most incredible thing I've ever seen. And I'm not going to engage, I'm not going to link or tag or anything because I need them to keep doing this because it's iconic. This person is winning. They're talented. They draw. They write. THEY HAVE COMMANDEERED A TAG FOR AN ENTIRE *MOVIE*
Everyone pack your bags and go home.
most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get into some media almost none of your followers know about or have engaged with in any form so you can make long untagged posts complaining about peoples bad takes to an audience of 3 total people. second most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get obsessed with some ugly guy from said media and start posting about him with captions such as "so cuties forever 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖" so your mutuals can give you a polite golf clap like while attempting to withhold their mildly scathing judgement
I love when trauma makes characters messy. I love when characters don't know how to show love. I love when they lash out. I love when they're vile and break down. I love characters who aren't perfect victims. I love when stories don't excuse behaviour but allow you to understand it
i love you female characters who make selfish choices they know will be bad for everyone. i love you female characters who think they're making the right choice but make things worse. i love you female characters who are making the right choice but noone else understands it.
I think Californians should be hunted for sport (I am one.)
If you had to sing a child to sleep RIGHT NOW what would you sing and it CANT BE a lullaby it has to be a regular song
i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug
im brainstorming why tumblr isnt the way it used to be
Its Octoberrrr give my story a look 👀💕
being brave: I AM NOT MEHRI (a short story)
i posted my entire short story about what it feels like to be frankensteins daughter on my blogger. have you ever wondered how it feels to look in the mirror and know the face looking back at you was someone elses? have you ever thought about how sinister it is to craft your own daughter? the fact that every trait you have was hand picked?? ever wonder how it feels to know you are the result of violence?????
you havent? well, read it. it's interesting to chew on
I have the face of a dead girl.
This isn’t to say I look like her. I have her face. I move her lips, her nose, her long, thick lashes. I didn’t choose it. My parents selected it. Hunted her down, took everything above her collarbone and ran. I don’t have her eyes though. I’ve seen an image of the girl. A simple, colored photograph beneath a bright red label stating “HAVE YOU SEEN ME?” She had brown eyes. I have blue.

Thinking about how Pete used to be a priest and Kevin's (unnamed) mom was a nun. The fact that Pete was clearly stripped of his title. And we don't hear anything about Kevin's mother beyond the fact that she's dead. Thinking about how Diane says that she thinks of Pete as her "creepy uncle" and hates him. Thinking about how Kevin being born was likely a huge scandal for Pete and his mother and led to him being kicked out of the church. Thinking about how Pete doesn't seem to have any remorse at all for the potential abuse of power that occurred which led to Kevin's conception. Thinking about how Pete was the one most likely to make jokes objectifying women with Kevin. Thinking about how Kevin was likely raised believing he was some sort of miracle or chosen one, destined for great things solely because acknowledgment of the shame surrounding the circumstances of his birth would require Pete admitting fault. Thinking about how normalized it must have been in his childhood to see women being talked down to, objectified, sexualized and made into nothing more than plot devices to powerful men. Thinking about the sense of entitlement he must have had baked into him, and the deep fear hiding underneath all of it that one day everyone is going to realize he's his father's biggest skeleton in the closet. Thinking about this show having one of the most nuanced and complex portrayals of the cycle of abuse and patriarchal violence that I've ever seen!!!
Petition to call the trope where there's two women and one pines and the other gets paired off with some guy usually awful but inevitably they become closer and or experience tremendous regret the "good luck babe"
A thing I find really important about the way Kevin Can Fuck Himself goes about its job: Allison is kind of a mess. She’s self-centered, she doesn’t put other people’s needs first, she makes reckless choices that endanger herself and others. And the show says: yes. Right. She’s flawed as fuck. And she still does not deserve any of what’s happening to her. It could be argued that she is, in fact, this flawed as a direct product of her trauma. Her self-absorption, unlike Kevin’s, is actually self-preservation. It puts Patty in danger. It tunes out Diane’s pain. It capitalizes on Sam’s relationship problems. And still, the show says: yes. Right. She’s going about this in fumbling, worrying ways. And she still does not deserve any of what’s happening to her.
Know how we know this? How we really know this, outside of our own objectivity, our own awareness of the abuse she’s enduring even to the soundtrack of laughter?
Because Tammy is the one to find her. Because Tammy is the one holding the cards at the end of the game. Tammy, who does not like Allison. Who sees so clearly the complicated, messy, dangerous person Allison can be. The mistakes she is prone to making in the name of desperation. How imperfect she is at every level. And Tammy, who is the character most explicitly set to call Allison on all of her shit, to drag her before a court of law, to lean on that hot-button of whether or not she’s a “good person” until it breaks—lets her go. Folds the cards up, puts them in her pocket, and leaves.
Because Tammy, like the show, like the thesis statement of abuse is never earned, never deserved, never warranted, understands. This is a world that so often sanitizes women after it’s too late to save them. A world that insists she should have done more to get out. A world that insists you should be kind and moral and perfect, or maybe you got what was coming to you. This is a world that sees fighting back as an equally heinous crime. As punishable, if not more so, than the actions of the instigator.
But this show doesn’t want to play that game. This show doesn’t want to fuck with it at all. Allison doesn’t have to be perfect and moral and above reproach. Allison has blood on her hands, and a DUI neatly ignored, and knowingly has an affair with her married boss. Allison hurts her friends sometimes, and she makes awful decisions out of desperation, and she doesn’t always pay attention to other people’s plotlines. And the show says: yes. Right. She’s making choices you probably should not agree with.
And she still does not deserve any of what is happening to her.
yeah my favorite genre for media consumption is "codependent mutually destructive relationship with heavy religious overtones and several references to Greek mythology while being undoubtedly queer and/or emotionally violent", why do you ask
So me and my dad just got done watching Kevin can f himself like the whole series in one day
And I kept being like Allison's not in the wrong. And he was just being like no her husband is an asshole he's an idiot he's the worst kind of guy but like shes still doing bad things. All she needs to do is ask him for a divorce why is she such a coward why won't you just ask him for a divorce and all they'll do is split assets.
And then the final episode happened
And I got to watch this 56-year-old man take such a sharp deep breath when he punched that wall
And I was like this is the reality. This is what most people face. She didn't ask him because she knew this was her future this was how she was going to end. He was going to kill her. He was going to lash out and attack her. And he was just dead silent through like the last half quarter of the show
And I was like yeah she escaped alive but look what she lost all from his doing. What do you think would happen if she hadn't done what she did before.
Yeah she didn't die, do you think he wouldn't have for one second? And dad was just like he's a monster
Yes. That is literally the entire point she was a battered woman but because you were seeing things through his lens half of the time you didn't see how bad it really was and she just looked like she was blowing things out of proportion.
woah this character is so cool i wish they were covered in blood their whole body trembling with a look of absolute horror on their face as theyre struggling to breathe in panic
