another smudgy ass sketch bc itās crunch time and i havenāt made much art in the past few years that isnāt based off some originally created media or a colored pencil doodle. so weāre gonna go ahead and make some more fanart bc i think if i actually apply my lineart skills, i will be rewarded w smth useful for this prortfolio im making. itās 2-5 works but like my prized pieces? a very quickly made painting of the blood rain house from Nope (which is my favorite artwork however it doesnāt compare to the original shot) and this ventgarden painting. which i want to post everywhere but its never gonna feel completeā¦ also neither are portraits or ātraditional paintingā so like idek what kind of experience im supposed to be putting forward. idk but this is gonna be sick cant wait to finish it already
Good morning. Yes, it is morning now where you live simply by you reading me say that it is(I don't make the rules.). But in all seriousness, welcome! This is the part where I introduce myself with all the relevant details.
My name's Max. I'm 18, I use he/him pronouns,my 'un-birthday'(or, I guess technically my actual birthday since I have the one the body uses??) is January 3rd(the day I'm writing the first iteration of this post. How lovely.), my color of choice is red, and I faceclaim our body's face. I only write that last part down as opposed to showing you because we are not out as a system to most of the people in our lives, so it gets kinda tricky trying to show you my face when it is a dead giveaway of who we are(Forgive my want to not completely out ourselves. We don't know how many of our irl friends have tumblrs.).
My biggest goal out of the coming use of this tumblr is to bond with other systems. We know of two not counting our own that we interact with on a highly frequent basis and I think it'd help us if we had people who know our struggles and our experiences.
I know I'll probably add more to this as questions come up and people change and what not but I think this is a good enough place to start for now. If you want to follow my reblogging shenanigans, my tag is #/maxrants.
And I hope all of you see bright stars in your future.
the extreme mood of the day tbh. they made us watch 3 hours of the national reorganizationās process propaganda (the big, bad military dictatorship Argentina had that disappeared a lot of people and got us into the Southern Atlantic conflict) and a lot of terrible shit they did, and the entire time it felt so dystopian. i canāt believe we were such little shits in the back, and iām glad they showed this to dissuade us from becoming the thing those bastards became and betray our fatherland and the people we protect
byler agenda post bc im a genius: FAVORITE niche byler truth evidence (saw it in a tiktok and have been thinking sinceā) is during the rain scene mike says āitās not my fault you donāt like girls!ā which. in this situation could have been swapped with ānot my fault we have girlfriends and you donātā or ānot my fault we got into relationships and you didnātā if the byler pairing wasnāt REALLLL. but more specificallyāhe didnāt have to say ānot MY fault YOU donāt like girlsā like idk im blanking on ways for him to not have said āiām the reason you donāt like girlsā LIKEEEEEEE BAE YOU KINDA ARE ONE OF THE REASONS HE DOESNT LIKE GIRLS CMONNNNNNN
such a well scripted scene you can rlly just ā dig ur way in and find every reason this mf couple is endgame. idk did i read into that line too much or is it a little funny it came out that way š¤
godddddd fucking loooooove miraculous ladybug cannot believe my grown ass is more invested in this show than ever before. i guess having a server blocking ads thru the wifi in this ripe year of 2026 helps, bc my shitass 2008 dell computer couldnāt handle a single kissanime web ad back in the day. but ive been writing essays again on exactly how fucked ladybugās situation is this season like ohhhhh my godddddd itās excruciatinggggg. THAT is what gets people addicted to this show like itās one of very few shows tolerable enough to carry so many painful ass scenes. cringey but also real twists and shit like i canāt watch ladybug lose the miraculous, the same way i canāt watch her introduce chat noir to whatās bis fucking name??? ācall me Flairmidableāšššššgoddddd cannot believe heās with a woman. i would totally canon kagami to be nonbinary leaning not even bc of her pixie cut in s6 but sheās badass. her femininity is just as much a weapon as her blade fr fr sheās my fuckin queen i get herrrrr. but yeah anyways marinette drowning in lies drowning in smth so much worse than anything sheās ever been burdened with. like my use of suspending disbelief is seeing her as she is: a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD MF CHILD BURDENED WITH THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE CITY, IF NOT THE WORLD. like holy SHIT DUDE she decided the REALITY of EVERYONE SHE KNOWS. london edge of time was hard to watch. fighting a beefed up megalomaniac Monarch was tough. but watching her crumble with her beliefs this season and watching the writers set her up to 1) be abandoned by everyone whoās cared abt her with the revelation of the truth 2) be fully akumatized after having the truth and her identity shared widespread 3) have the crew save her, prolly have to wipe ladybugs identity from the world, maybe alya and adrien keep the truth bc they knew before the akumatization or wtv (im saying all this bc i love feeling so very sure of how things are going to happen and then being disappointed,,; but like in a good way occasionally). still hung up on how stranger things should have ended. but the writings on the wall for most of this junk like 1) the letter is in her yo-yo and adrien is no longer blonde enough to overlook obvious shit like this 2) chat noir miraculous chat noir used once at the top of the season with rena rouge, chekhovs gun or it didnāt happen 3) adrien broke up with her on the basis that she wasnāt being honest abt smth that happened right in front of him, alya told her to piss off as well, and nobody is going to be happy when the secret is out 4) wtf is chrysalis waiting for in terms of spilling the beans? the right moment. even if sheās not 100% certain marinette is ladybug, what would happen if she pulled a Heroes day and just shows what she already knows, hell maybe even project the exact image of ladybug detransforming with nathalie like Lila is no stranger to akumatizng herself, what if she akumatizes herself to have a fat ass projector? like she got her answer when marinette went from blubbering about adrien to resisting her answers when interrogated. she said āiāll have my answer somedayā but we donāt reaallyyyy need a verbal one; being hunted down by your friends for a very convincing illusion created by the motherfucker herself has been done,, a many times. and maybe marinette will pick up on that god FORBID we exit s6 not knowing lila/Cerise or whoever the fuck is behind all of this. but seriouslyā¦ marinette becomes the villainā¦ itās so tragicā¦ and soooooo fucking awesome
oh boy max is going on about marinette dupain-cheng again huh
another tiktok genius just brought to my attention a sparkling new parallel from my day 1 my sweet ass dumb ass fuckin kids show: miraculous ladybug š« yeah so iām gonna bitch about that for abt 2.5 scrolls gather here Marinette Is Actually Really Deep And Complicated lovers xoxo:
marinette (miraculous ladybug) let adrien believe that the scarf she hand made for him in the first episode (?) was actually from his father. his father passed off the responsibility of a birthday present for his son to natalie who wrote it to be from gabriel, and etc etc. marinette didnāt want to ruin his joy (at receiving anything but a motherfucking pen. for his birthday) and this lie was long forgotten
this isā¦ diabolically similar to the larger, actually *largest and most crucial* problem in the presentā¦ where marinette has concealed monarchs true identity.. to protect adrienās feelings..
i can overlook a substantial amt of plotholes and lazy writing throughout this show while commending the overarching themes/arcs.. but wtf is this supposed to mean??? i mean i love it. because marinette is just a fuckin girl and i have a complex understanding of her obsession w adrien (i know this girls mental illnesses better than u. swear) but does this overall point at marinette being stuck in her ways? or is it lazy writing????
weāve had full episodes dedicated to reliving every moment where marinette (and a few of the other characters of yall know the ep iām talking abt) has changed, made deliberate change from her past struggles and gone left when sheād usually go right, and sheās grown to have so much responsibility i fear weāre incapable of understanding the machinations of this 15yro girls mind. sheās thoughtful, sheās paranoid, sheās plot armored her way thru every confrontation ever except when they really just swoop by her ass (felix u dirty man). so what does it mean that this specific blind spot is completely magnified in the current season?
are we just chilling now, waiting to see her hang herself with responsibility and consequences as the metaphysical and elite secret society worlds work against her?? like she made the decision to lieāalix said in the goddamn london edge of time special, what, 18-24 hours after the finale of s5?, that her decision is final and to change it would rewrite the universe, a different timeline. it doesnāt matter how recently that decision was made; it was the crux of timelines and marinettes gotta š§½š§½suck it up right the fuck now. we didnāt need natalie to yank marinette out of the agreste mansion and lecture her on how their decision was final; sheās known that since day 1 post-armageddon!
marinettes faced with picking up the pieces while free falling, thrust into a new horrifying world that, wild guess, no other marinette is facing. for better or for worse, sheās trying to find her way. all of this fuckass mess, and sheās still got her north star: adrien. he gives purpose to everything she does, but would any other marinette have gone as far, as *consistently* as our marinette has? are other marinettes as deeply fixated and guided to their fate by this blonde haired clueless boy as ours is?
i felt like i almost reached smth here but i just canāt pin it down. marinette is sooooo special like i am in her shoes. i am seeing her world thru her eyes. i need to make a thought network on her someday just to see how my character analysis skills look after all this time.
final note: reading all this byler shit on ao3 and analyzing ST characters has my shit all wired. also i like when characters are written to be predictable, understandable thru most of their arcs. death note has me all screwy bc im not supposed to be attached to or truly love any one character bc all these bitchass mofos represent concepts and characters from the bible n shit and thereās arcs and relationships i donāt understand bc *i donāt fw religion idk the bible like that dude*. i was baptized when i was a teenager but all i remember is trying not to black out nauseous every time we had to kneel for more than a few minutes. the liturgy was the only peace of mind and every pastor i met in those fucked up 2 years was a different flavor. god ANYWAYS goodnight pookies hope some marinette lovers are out there feeling some kinda way about this.
just saw this comment under a theo/boris edit on tt smth smth āconcept of goldfinch fans redirecting every time byler is trendingā DAWGGGGGGG LIKE YALL FUCKING WOULD KNOWWWW
deadass got so many followers on my old tumblr alt for just. reblogging so much theo/boris shit. didnāt even try either just had a solid month or two of perusing the corridors. and idk how long iāve been onto byler but at LEASTTTTT since between s1 and 2 bc one of my friends was fucking psychically projecting into the future and put me onto this shit so fast.
but yeah anyways love queer acting finn wolf hard, honored to have been told i looked like him over the years. trying to get back to that tbh but i probably need new contacts; these glasses were 7 dollars and make me look like a little boy but not in the 80s way im aspiring to.
god HELP ME if i start watching hilda the hurricane (furaCAO!) like jfc tiktok's got me on this stupid ass slowburn shit (i love this shit so much)(hilda opened the balcony to her damn apartment in the red light distract and i felt my heart skip a beat)
