rewatching tcw is so sad they keep killing the clones :(

HEY.

growing up I was always afraid of being Found Out. not sure what I was hiding. just my whole self I guess

the second i saw the temple mural in rebels i knew i had to do this

[Image ID: A mural-style drawing of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka styled after the mural of the Mortis gods seen in Rebels. Ahsoka is on the right in her white robe and carrying her scepter, a morai perched on her shoulder. Obi wan is in the middle in his Jedi robes, one hand raised. The Jedi Order symbol is behind his head. Anakin stands on the right, with one half of his face obscured by his Darth Vader mask. His hand is clenched into a fist.]

Version without noise (along with me ranting about couple details I'm way too proud of) under the cut:

many beautiful women are mutuals with me on this website

I didn’t realize it at first, but do you feel like Allan could be a stand in for nonbinary people?

BARBIE MOVIE SPOILERS:

He’s not a Ken, He’s not a Barbie, he’s just Allan He’s the only Allan and he doesn’t really understand it. He moves more like the Barbies do, but he’s not brainwashed by the Kendom. His appearance is similar to the Kens, but he’s not a part of the Kendom. He’s something else, somewhere in the middle.

Also they kinda show Allan not fitting into a gender binary. We see femininity and masculinity represented in Barbie and Ken, both going through the extremes of them. We see this in every Ken and every Barbie, but not Allan. He even works with the Barbies when dismantling the Kendom since it effects him negatively too and he doesn’t like it. Like how the patriarchy also effects non binary people and people outside the gender binary negatively.

You could say he leans masc/is masc and that’s true, but the Kens don’t really seem to accept him or include him as one of them. He has Barbie-like mannerisms but he’s not included with the Barbies ever, he’s not invited to girls nights. He’s just, Allan.

Barbie was the representative for all things girly and all things pink and what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a she and a her...while also loudly declaring she has no vagina.

Terf L, if I ever saw one.

Sometimes I have multiple thoughts running at once all fighting for my attention. Like the other day when I was trying to focus on catching my train, but my brain really wanted to daydream about Thranto and the thoughts merged and anyway, here’s Trainto.

Imagine wanting some pretty boy who can’t act to be playing Thrawn instead of Lars fucking Mikkelsen. Couldn’t be me. I’m a hundred percent here for the man who delivered the most chilling monologues and sick burns in that silky voice of his. Lars was on absolute fire in the season finale of Rebels. Remember when Thrawn had enough of Pryce’s bullshit and roasted the ever-living hell out of her, “I expected Governor Pryce to fail, but not so completely.” Remember when Ezra gave that long-winded speech about how they had beaten the Empire only for Thrawn to answer in the most I-couldn’t-give-a-shit tone, “Are you quite finished?” Remember Thrawn’s first lines in the show and how Lars delivered them expertly, “I will start my operations here, and pull the rebels apart piece by piece. They will be the architects of their own destruction.” Lars Mikkelsen embodies Thrawn perfectly, and I wouldn’t want anyone else but him in the role. 

And Lars Mikkelsen is hot af, old people can be hot

Everything about Lars is perfect for the role and people hating on it don’t understand 1. How good of an actor Lars is and 2. How quintessential Thrawn’s voice is to his character.

Also Lars is hot as fuck.

Thrawn without his voice is not Thrawn, I’m sorry! I don’t make the rules!!

Thrawn isn’t meant to be some twink, he’s been in the military for years, he’s a grand admiral and he clawed his way up to that position, he’s seasoned. Let the actor who portrayed him also be a seasoned, distinguished man.

Also nice to know that they’re letting the hot morally questionable character have an accent that isn’t just generic British.

listen I say this with patience bc some people may genuinely have not thought about this before but if you firmly say “AI art is terribly unethical and steals from artists” (which is correct) but then turn around and use voice AIs to generate songs/voice lines that sound like your favourite voice actors or singers……………………………………that is also AI art and it is also terribly unethical

just a few examples of voice actors making their stance clear for all the ppl who are trying to disagree w me

For the record:

I have yet to find ANY generative AI that is trained on an ETHICAL dataset. You cannot have an ethical generative AI that is trained on scraped images, scraped text, or scraped voices. Period, end of story.

Stealing people’s words and artwork is horrifying enough. Stealing their faces and voices is beyond reprehensible.

I can’t believe I read this post with my own fucking eyes

I love it unironically, I burst out laughing. It hits the same note as “the opposite of malice is bonfire”.

the waterfall to my firefly

dark green is a nice color. underrated

ladies and gentlemen, Phtalo Green

This is literally my favorite color. 😩 Smaragd green is another dark shade of green that I’m absolutely obsessed with.

Look call me crazy but there is something so ridiculously sexy about Warlord Thrawn™️

This line right here?

Powerful. Evil. Sexy.

Make the most of that

Every month I reblog this and every month I’m baffled that it’s already the 15th.

I’m scheduling this for every month

despite everything…..

15 DAYS TIL CRABS @crab-day-counter

A note to all creatives:

Right now, you have to be a team player. You cannot complain about AI being used to fuck over your industry and then turn around and use it on somebody else’s industry.

No AI book covers. No making funny little videos using deepfakes to make an actor say stuff they never did. No AI translation of your book. No AI audiobooks. No AI generated moodboards or fancasts or any of that shit. No feeding someone else’s unfinished work into Chat GPT “because you just want to know how it ends*” (what the fuck is wrong with you?). No playing around with AI generated 3D assets you can’t ascertain the origin of. None of it. And stop using AI filters on your selfies or ESPECIALLY using AI on somebody else’s photo or artwork.

We are at a crossroad and at a time of historically shitty conditions for working artists across ALL creative fields, and we gotta stick together. And you know what? Not only is standing up for other artists against exploitation and theft the morally correct thing to do, it’s also the professionally smartest thing to do, too. Because the corporations will fuck you over too, and then they do it’s your peers that will hold you up. And we have a long memory.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking “your peers” are only the people in your own industry. Writers can’t succeed without artists, editors, translators, etc making their books a reality. Illustrators depend on writers and editors for work. Video creators co-exist with voice actors and animators and people who do 3D rendering etc. If you piss off everyone else but the ones who do the exact same job you do, congratulations! You’ve just sunk your career.

Always remember: the artists who succeed in this career path, the ones who get hired or are sought after for commissions or collaboration, they aren’t the super talented “fuck you I got mine” types. They’re the one who show up to do the work and are easy to get along with.

And they especially are not scabs.

*that’s not even how it ends that’s a statistically likely and creatively boring way for it to end. Why would you even want to read that.

How the heck did her hair get braided like that? Did she and the other officers just have a braiding train at night? ????

do you think Peggy carter needs anyone to braid her hair? she does it herself. The right hand’s nail polish? my girl has it covered. Zipping and unzipping the back of the dress? pff… Peggy Carter can do anything. Liquid Eyeliner? in one try. Peggy carter can do anything.

anything.

a n y t h i n g. 

That’s not a braid. It’s a roll. It is one of the most beautiful hair styles to come out of the 40s and is incredibly simple. The hair styles you should be impressed with are these.

Waves: I had a 1920s themed dance last month, and I wore my hair in waves. I sat in a chair with a professional stylist for AN HOUR for FOUR of those beauties. I see at least eight. And she does those regularly for work.

Victory curls: I can do victory curls. Two, to be exact. Not counting practice, I have worn my hair in V-curls exactly twice. It took me an hour and a half last time, and I didn’t even curl the ends, just two v-curls on the top of my head, and they weren’t nearly this amazing. Again, another casual work look. 

Do you think Steve curled her hair? Fat chance. Be in awe of Peggy Carter. Be in awe.

I now have a mental image of Peggy Carter doing her nightly routine, which of course doesn’t necessarily happen at night, just whenever she has a chance to lie down and sleep. It starts with sitting at her desk, where a mirror has been wedged into the right position by militarily files, but she doesn’t look at it any more. Instead she’s pouring over whatever has to be memorized for the following day, fingers working on automatic as she wedges pins into place. It takes forty seven pin curls to get the look she wants, and she’s done with it before she finishes reading the memo.

There’s little flickers of red on her gun as testament to smudged nails before she learned to check her weapons first and then paint her nails. While they dry she reads something else, filing it all away for future reference and remembering key words by which finger she was painting at the time. When Peggy Carter checks her nails she might well be looking for chips, but it’s more likely she’s remembering names.

She ran out of cold cream weeks ago, but she stills has some rose water left and uses it sparingly, careful not to get it mixed up with the other little vials in her kit.

And of course there will be that one night, when the alarm sounds and everyone is forced from their beds in a panicked hurry. Peggy Carter will not only be at the center of it, but she will be the one keeping the intruder pinned down. Dressed in a faded floral nightgown thrown over her night clothes, smelling like rose water, her hair hidden under a silk scarf to keep her curls in place, gun held steadily in a perfectly manicured hand. Everyone else is dressed, however hurriedly, but it’s Peggy who is the most put together, even in her pin curls.

I love the expression, “Hell in high heels”, but frankly Hell has never met Peggy Carter.

ALL of this ^^^. Also, the glorious queen probably does her winged liquid eyeliner in that stupid jeep, bouncing along the path to a meeting.

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve read so far about Peggy Carter.  *chinhands and sighs, dreamily*  Because Peggy fucking Carter.

*slow blink* I forgot I wrote this. Neat.

This is the best thing.
