I love how one of the popular American anti-intellectual sentiments is that if you think too much about things you won’t have fun and you’re boring but then the idea of fun that they mean is like watching Netflix shows or listening to the next excruciatingly monotonous album of the month or something. Also it’s genuinely fun to be a hater and pick things apart not even necessarily in an intellectual way. Hating and complaining together is one of the best ways to bond with someone
Happiness Will Come To You.
Happy Birthday, Jean!
Please wait a moment, I still have some reports to process. Sorry for the delay, you must be hungry by now, right?
Is this... a special pizza from The Cat's Tail? Ah, so you had this planned all along.
"Take a break from work...?" Haha, it's just like you to say that.
Very well, then. I'll take a break, and we can have this meal together. I hope the winds will allow me— or rather, allow us to share in this "administrative leave" for half a day.
someday i will write an essay on the way fandom likes to recreate the exact same flavor of aggressively heteronormative relationship dynamics in every popular slash ship ever invented regardless of how the characters behave or interact with each other in canon.
blocked because your interpretation of that character doesn’t match the way they act in my bedtime narrative i imagine when i’m falling asleep every night
Christie Tseng (VLD character supervisor) did these beautiful cleanups over my silly doodles.. Allura impersonates Lance, Hunk, and Keith!

Everyone sleeping on this parallels
it's me and the four people on ao3 who understand my favorite character in the exact same way against the world
Maybe you could draw Diluc patching Rosaria up? She's injured after a fight, or something like that
i love your brain anon. you've awakened something in me
Lance is such an interesting character to me in part because of how the narrative wants to portray him to the point it becomes contradictory.
His "arc" is supposed to be "cocky and immature teenager grows from his need for glory into a reliable team member"
And he does! He becomes Keith's right hand man, taking charge in battle, covering the team's backs and becoming an emotional support for other members when the time was needed.
But he is also a Comedic Relief™
Other characters have comedic relief moments too, like Hunk's love for food, Pidge's excitement about tech, Keith being socially awkward, etc.
And as aggravating as Hunk's fat jokes can be they don't contradict the fact that he is a brilliant engineer and became a brave paladin. Keith's social awkwardness doesn't contradict the fact that he became a capable leader.
But then you have Pidge and Hunk, making fun of Lance being "naturally dumb", and then a space deity calling him "the dumb one"one moment then following Lance's orders in battle and having him give emotional speeches to others the other.
The writers want us to take him seriously and see he is growing only to make fun of him when its needed for a laugh.
I feel the episode The Grudge is a good example of this:
Lance finds a way to find where they left their Lions.
Hunk and Allura seem impressed but Pidge dismisses it.
That would be the end of it until later when Veronica is talking with "Keith" (actually a hacker pretending to be him) and the says "Lance has it figured out", Veronica then in a sarcastic way says "Lance, the navigation genius".
Keith agrees and that's what clues them about something being wrong.
Is it a joke about Keith being openly nice to Lance? A joke about Lance navigation skills?
Either way, the joke is at his expense, even when early in the episode we see him actually figuring suggesting a way to correctly navigate.
In the end what I'm trying to say is that the writers want to have their cake and eat it too. Showing Lance growing and being capable but also making fun of him and not really having that much respect for his character.
When Snape told Tonks her man was weak and she could do better, he ate.
[scrolling through a fandom tag] wrong. wrong. incomprehensibly wrong. wrong but harmless. nice style and color palette but I don't care about that ship. mildly entertaining liveblog update. they whitewashed my girl :( . good joke, reblog. wro--well that's my mutual so I will politely look away. fifteen posts in a row by an innocent rp blog that I don't have the heart to block. take I agree with but op was annoying about it. chapter twenty-eight of a longfic wip. !! GOOD POST !!, instafollowed. bot. technically correctly tagged but uses this acronym for something completely different. museum worthy art piece by a sixteen-year-old from the philippines. wrong. wrong but in a new and exciting way that provokes thought.
I have nothing against Farcille, genuinely. But it's been very interesting seeing that a fandom mostly defined by a femslash ship for once can get just as brainwormed about their OTP to the point of ultimately and fundamentally misunderstanding/mischaracterizing the entire thing as any other fandom dominated by mslash.
Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
Keith; “It’s not that bad..”. Lance: “mmh…man you’d think a large assassin organisation like the Blade would have at least something in place, like Space Obamacare or whatever.” Keith: “Pffft” Lance: “Ahhhhh there’s that shmuck Mullet face.”
