Welcome to my blog!

This is an indie, semi-selective blog for Davos, the Steel Serpent, of Netflix Iron Fist.  This show was a disaster, but this character and the phenomenal actor who plays him, Sacha Dhawan, deserve better, so here I am.

Davos Eating Pizza

He says “it’s chewy” so very sadly, LOL, like “new friend and Skilled Healer, I am sorry to disappoint you but idk about this.” 

Bonus: He’s still eating it in the background when Danny storms in and Claire is pacifying Danny, lmfao:

“Don’t judge me brother, it’s the best slice in New York.”

A monk’s spade,also called a Shaolin Spade, is a Chinese pole weapon consisting of a long pole with a flat spade-like blade on one end and a smaller crescent shaped blade on the other. Neither blade was designed to be sharpened. In old China, Buddhist monks often carried spades (shovels) with them when travelling. This served two purposes: if they came upon a corpse on the road, they could properly bury it with Buddhist rites, and the large implement could serve as a weapon for defence against bandits. The crescent was designed as defense against small to medium-sized predators such as wild dogs and leopards. The way it is used is to hold the animal at bay by positioning the crescent at the animal’s neck and pushing it away if needed. Over time, they were stylised into the monk’s spade weapon.

i think there is a difference between a knowingly flawed character and a thematically uncomfortable character and knowing the difference is half the battle

[tartaeya]

knowingly flawed character: this character has traits that the author deliberately put in to show they have nuance and aren't perfect as a person. this will put them at odds with some readers and endear them to others, depending on them as people, and that's good!

thematically uncomfortable character: oh boy the author has some Beliefs

[greelin]

did perfectionism ever truly protect you from harm or neglect as a child though. ultimately. Lol

[greelin]

[REALLY NORMAL AND WELL-ADJUSTED VOICE] well you never know maybe it COULD have saved me. if i ever actually achieved perfection. it could have happened then. if i was actually ever enough. Which i was not

Hot, slightly dim but sweet, and in love with their sharp, stabby things

I'm tired of everything I love being repackaged, dumbed down, watered down and sold back to me this time with advertisements all while everyone says LOOK ITS THE SAME THING DONT YOU LIKE IT? THESE PEOPLE, WHO WERE NOT THERE FOR THE ORIGINAL THING ALL LIKE IT! ITS THE SAME! IN FACT ITS BETTER! ISNT THIS WHAT YOU LIKE? EVERYONE ELSE LIKES IT!!

no. I do not WANT your pet semetary version of The Thing. I want the Original Thing, with the people who loved the Original Thing , and engaged with it in a genuinely subculture way. I do not want the sharp edges of Thing filed off for mass consumption and then MERCHED AT ME.

"The No Kings rallies don't REALLY do anything" Cool. Do you know what message it sends to the people in power if less and less people are showing up to protest their actions? Cause let me tell you, it's not "More people are going to do other things instead". It's "the American public is slowly getting used to our regime and we should keep it up until they wear out".

Because if you can't stand next to people for a couple of hours chanting and waving signs, you aren't gonna be doing anything that would actually disrupt the regime. Protests aren't "permitted dissent". They're that ankle bar that you have to step over where it's not impressive if you do it, but it's really indicative if you can't even manage that much.

[marxalittle]

Consider: print up materials about other issues and actions, and information about how and where to get involved (community fridge, bail support fund, custody release watch, etc etc) and hand it out at the No Kings protests. These are people who are UPSET and they are ANGRY at the things the regime is doing. They are energized enough to mobilize to a protest, often with a group, often getting together for sign making beforehand. Give them a hand with the next step: sustained and sustaining ways to resist, reverse, and repeal the harms/actions of the regime.

#also as someone who is actively part of doing activism outside of this stuff and community work#I don’t ever see the ‘no kings rallies are just parades’ folks at the food distros#or at the detention centers helping families waiting to see their loved ones#giving to fundraisers#do you know your neighbors?#these protests are great ways to get to know your communities#AND to meet the orgs doing work in your communities#I joined the groups I’m in cause I met them AT NO KINGS

The purpose of demonstrations is To Demonstrate.

Demonstrations are just one tool in a greater resistance movement.

If one is activated beyond the level of demonstrating only, that is good.

But not everyone is, and demonstrations are a way to further activate and onboard newcomers to a resistance movement.

There's a place for people who are a little more activated (not necessarily the most activated in a resistance movement who may be traveling or tending to higher level state or national organizing) to attend a local demonstration to pass the word to others about further local resistance efforts.

For example, I've found information online easily about national level organizing or resistance in other states and counties, but I actually don't know who is safe or actively involved in resistance or mutual aid in my immediate local area, so events that have local events within a larger movement can help us find our people.

Maybe I'm that person for someone? I have no idea if I don't go.

Might be moving this character to a multi muse account.

[kirkwail]

yes i have a thing for self-loathing fictional characters being loved and in the process learning to love themselves and no that does not imply anything about me personally as a person i swear

[lawfulpride]

*points* Birthday?

TFW your follower remembers and you don't!!!! Yeah, I made it September 1, didn't I? The birthday of my childhood best friend, on purpose, and I still forgot. I wish there were a way to spark my Marvel muses back into being. I'm never deleting this blog because I'll always love Davos and Sacha Dhawan and they always eventually return as inspiration. <3

something awful happening on this blog where i post arguments that historian is a proper profession and not a glorified hobby and then post news that a major us university has halted all language studies admissions (including classics and other historical languages) and is revising its entire undergrad curriculum because they deem anything not english and not ''''american'''' superfluous and not beneficent.

your anti-intellectualism does not exist in a vacuum. the humanities is not a hobby. scholars are not the enemy. administrations working with and bowing down to a fascist regime are, and this is what kills diversity and critical thought. this is another form of censorship.

i think u should always give characters more body hair just because. its good for the health its good for the everything

"I have depression." - character who has been through extensive therapy.

"I feel dead inside all the time and nothing helps!" - character who does like, regular introspective thinking and is aware of the concept of mental health.

"Leave me the fuck alone I'll be fine once I get over my stupid shit." - repressed character.

"It's fine I'm just having an Empty Time. What? Yeah, empty times, you know, when everything is like bzzzzzz in your brain and you don't shower for two weeks. Why, what do you call it?" - ooooughhh now we're talkin

[ruffboi-mags]

#this post is a jillion times better than all the posts that complaina bout therapyspeak #this one SHOWS the relationship between characterization and conceptualization #of depression #as an example of that relationship in general (via @rubynye)

[thesituation]

i can’t stand “it’s not that deep” attitudes like even if it really really isn’t that deep just PLAY WITH ME. just fucking PLAY. have a meaningless but deep analytical conversation with me. just like think about shit for fun. does anyone else like to think about stuff for fun. it’s so lonely
