This is true of the manga, but I love how the anime accentuates the absolute physical trust the apprentices have with Qifrey. Specifically with Agott, the way she is so ready when Qifrey says “hang on tight, I need my hands free” to cling to him a mile into the sky, and then in the latest episode, how, as soon as she impacts Qifrey while flying to him, she makes no move to save herself, she just curls into him and trusts that he will keep them from falling.

And I think it works as a signal to the audience, to subtly go “hey, I know we don’t trust Qifrey right now, he’s being shady, but we can always trust him to protect the physical wellbeing of his kids. Remember that.” Idk man maybe I’m getting too attached to a teeny detail but aaaaaaghhhh that’s her dad.

stealing your tags

#anyways i think it's particularly notable that fiercely independent always-has-something-to-prove Agott is like this with him#and that none of the apprentices really hide how they're feeling around him even when that feeling is negative#Agott and Richeh make it known when they're unhappy with Qifrey#and they (two abused kids) just flat out wouldn't do this if he wasn't a safe person to be unhappy at

BOUN COURTS DEATH BY CALLING BELOVED AUTHOR WHO MADE HIM FAMOUS "OLD" TO HER FAAACE

Yesterday, BounPrem appeared at an event for the 244th anniversary of the Rattanakosin district, and beloved author of "Red Thread" and "Hemp Rope" who adapted her novels into scripts for the hit series "Until We Meet Again" and "Between Us" LazySheep (real nickname: Kae) was there to support them. :')

In return, Boun called her old. …………lmao

(Jokingly, of course.)

After happily running to greet her like excited puppies, Boun and Prem! were both(!) like, "P'KAE IT'S HOT U OKAY? UR NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER Y'KNOW. WE'RE CONCERNED. :D"

SHE MADE YOU FAMOUS, YOU TREE-SIZED RASCALS.

I love them all. :')

LazySheep has always been one of their biggest cheerleaders ever since she helped New cast them in "Until We Meet Again" where they officially met, so it's lovely to see her still attending their events and supporting them all these years later. :''''')

I had no idea there was gonna be an Avatar: The Last Airbender animated film until it got leaked. I cannot for the life of me understand why Paramount decided not to have it theatrically released. I guess they want Paramount+ subscribers but even then… A:TLA is such a massively beloved franchise - surely there would’ve been some ticket sales from nostalgia alone. Also people yearn for beautiful animated movies! (Are the animated Spiderverse films not successful? Has anime ever been as mainstream as it is now?) And I imagine some of the people who watched the leaks would still buy tickets. People go see Studio Ghibli movies released decades ago, during Ghibli Fest in theaters, which happens like every other year where I live.

I feel so bad for the artists and creative team.

I have noticed some sentiments online that one must ask a fanfic author for permission to write fanfic of the fanfic. These sentiments sometimes come from people who don’t believe it’s wrong to write fanfic of already published works (canon works? I don’t know that I can say “original works” when many published works are adaptations or based on previous published works, yet have their own full fledged fandoms.)

I mean this respectfully - not to be rude but to understand - what makes permission required in one context but not another? I suppose a lot of creators for the canon sources of fandoms are often inaccessible to fans - many creators get more questions than they can possibly keep up with. Some creators are dead but their works are not public domain. On the other hand, you are more likely to get a response by commenting on a fanfic or messaging a fanfic author. But then again, there are media creators who are relatively accessible to fans (i.e., media with smaller audiences, some web comics, and other web series). Is the logic that as long as you have the ability to ask for permission, then you should before publishing fan fiction? Or is it because many canon creators avoid reading fanfics of their own works whereas recursive fanfic is more likely to reach the source fanfic’s author?

For the record, I believe source works should be credited when publishing fanfic.

(The above questions can apply to fan media in general, not just fanfiction.)

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage

the core of cnc and d/s for a lot of people is that when you want something but have an insurmountable amount of shame surrounding that desire, pretending that someone is making you do it or letting someone instruct you as to exactly how to do it can help you let go of some of those inhibitions. playing a submissive role during sex allows shane to bypass some of the expectations that weigh him down, but that doesn't mean he's "passive" in the sense of not participating in creating the shared experience. we see him on screen throughout unambiguously making decisions, yes-anding, and contributing ideas (nobody told him to crawl or pretend to be a bellboy). i can't emphasize enough the basic idea that kink is a space of play and an interaction between equal partners just like all sex should be, even if the point is to pretend it isn't. kink allows shane to express and explore desires that come very much from him in a way that feels safe.

anyway, now that we've established that the ocean has living things in it and the environment is important to that, this is a post about shane hiring a personal stylist. i think it's reasonable to assume we're meant to understand shane's desire for a partner who can dom and his pattern of hiring other people to make decisions about his house and his clothes for him as coming from related psychological places. if someone else picked out his suit for him, he's not responsible for the decision to wear it, and so he can wear it without being paralyzed by the shame associated with actively choosing and wanting it. wanting to look desirable, caring about clothes, having taste– all of these are things that in shane's world are unacceptably unmasculine. so he hires the personal stylist – a socially permissible thing for a straight male celebrity to do – and then says oh i just didn't want to look worse than everybody else, i never really cared about clothes. and ilya sees through this immediately, pointing out shane's implicit desire to invite the gaze ("you have new clothes to show off..."). the personal stylist gives him permission to try things he might otherwise be too afraid or ashamed to try, but the core motivation is still his own desire.

all of which is to say that i really want to push back on the idea that shane hiring a personal stylist or an interior designer means he is actually a passive person who doesn't want or care about anything outside of hockey and/or doesn't want to make decisions. that's not an internally consistent interpretation and i don't think it's supported by the material. also, it's boring. he's afraid of imperfection and ashamed of desires he sees as aberrant, so he constructs intricate scaffolding in order to indulge his sick, twisted fantasies of trying on a nice linen suit and owning throw pillows. he's likes the suit! he wanted to wear it! he actively made decisions that led to him wearing it! he just doesn't believe that's "allowed." which is kind of like. his whole deal
