AU where the directors' plans get derailed because Bal wasn't able to hold Ambrosuis back in time and the ceremony got delayed because he beat the ever-loving shit out of Todd

AU where everyone is too much of a chaotic gremlin for any of the director's plans to work at all. like everything she tries is foiled by sheer accident

I was gonna draw something more serious but sometimes u just gotta draw memes

and then they adopted each other and lived happily ever after, the end (HA)

so yeah, go watch Nimona, it's great

I was in the mood to sketch little kittens✨

hey @staff what the fresh fuck is this

wow i sure wonder 🤔🤔 what the new layouts supposed to look like 🤔🤔🤔🤔 its a mystery

Don’t forget y’all that there’s a much better way for us to let Tumblr know what we think about specific changes, rather than @ ing staff or wip, and it’s sending in a support ticket and choosing feedback!

Tumblr reverted some of the asinine app decisions they made after a concerted feedback effort! So make sure to use this form! It’s what it’s for, but it’s not well advertised!

their movie designs all became like 50 percent more tumblr

a twisted mirror....

Listen. Nimona can be Ambrosius and Ballister’s adopted daughter AND the grandma adopting them as a treat. 

Nuclear family binaries applied to found family are a lie, free yourself and embrace shark grandma/sister/daughter/whatever the fuck babes. <3

Thinking about how Ballister tried to convince Nimona to conform when he’s been singled out and targeted his whole life — how the whole kingdom was against someone outside the original knight bloodline joining them, how he had to work harder and still faced backlash, how even on the day he was supposed to be officially made one of the knights he still visually stood out because his armor was black while everyone (save Ambrosius, Glorith’s descendant) wore white

He was ignorant and sheltered, and he was also a queer elder seeing a queer kid embrace things that scare him because he was hurt just for existing — imagine how much worse it would’ve been if he intentionally rocked the boat like that

Thinking about how, despite everything he tried, he was still labeled the villain and she was still called a monster, and eventually he was willing to throw away everything he knew and loved to protect her. Thinking about the joy he experienced once he started cutting loose and questioning all the limits he put on himself and others put on him. Thinking about how he was tokenized and targeted growing up, thrust in the spotlight from a young age and how even then very few people were willing to try and actually see him for who he is. Thinking about how he saw Nimona

Thinking about evolution and growth within the queer community, about in-fighting from actual good (if fear and ignorance based) intentions can be even more damaging than malicious intent, about how for some queer people being seen as “just like cishets” is a matter of life or death while for others embracing being “different” is the thing that keeps them going, and how empathy and understanding of others can unintentionally heal yourself. Something something something, we come together and then we win

Zuko fummed after the turtleduck bite his leg (because he throw the bread on her baby) “Stupid turtle duck. Why she’d do that?” he didn’t understand why despite hurting her baby. Ursa then made a good influence to make him understand why the turtleduck did that. This influence and experience is what make Zuko understand Iroh’s pain later when he lost his son.

This empathy didn’t come out from no where, he learned it, and that’s how Zuko was throughout the series. This set up for his character was really good.

You see this with Song’s burns and his own as well.

With Katara losing her mother and him losing Ursa.

But when he don’t have a common ground like with Toph, Aang and Mai’s behavior in The Beach (before Azula point out), or taking Azula at face value too (“You’re like my sister. Everything always came easy to her.” “I guess you wouldn’t understand, would you, Azula? Because you’re just so perfect.” “Azula always lies.”) He find it hard to understand, doesn’t notice at all, take at face value or make it all about himself and his own pain.

Most kids have this self-centered behavior which they grow out of it if they developed properly, but Zuko didn’t since he lost his mother at young age and his relationship with his sibling was very competitive; given the Fire Nation warrior culture to prove the individual worth for the heirs and pentional heirs. Well, and we can say this was part of his own characteristics after all.

But with constant experiences he can form deep insights, which make him rounded.

Growth is the core of his positive character arc.

Go watch Nimona, it's really good

collecting this trope like shiny rocks

literary analysis being posited as this boring grueling penance that only miserable people insist on is very dumb as an idea but its even more dumb to me, the guy who gets so excited about it that he has to clap and pound his fists against the ground and walk in circles at a dizzying speed unbeknownst to man
