Awesomee XD

this scene man, this fucking wrecked me not even from a jonerys standpoint but like she’s looking a jon and begging him like she’s never begged anyone else to choose her and it’s bonkers to think that if she’d gotten any kind of warmth or positive reception, if there had been any kind of gratitude for all that she had given and sacrificed in their names, she wouldn’t have been so desperate, wouldn’t have felt so isolated and alone, she knew exactly what sansa would do if she knew the truth about jon, knew she would it against her, and all she wanted again and again was not have her ‘house with the red door’ (jon and the iron throne have become the symbols of safety and security she’s always longed for and never had) taken away from her and she knows now, that no matter what she does, no matter how much she gives, she’s always going to be the “foreign invader” to these people and at her most vulnerable, most alone, most needing comfort and reassurance, jon can’t even give that to her like i’m so mad they were playing a game of how far can we push and push and push a person before they finally break, and dany broke

When making Attack on Titan OC’s:

Pay attention to hair length.

PaY AtTention to HaIR lenGTH.

Pay attention to hair length.

pAY aTTention to Hair LenGTH.

Pay attention to hair length.

pAY ATTENTION TO HAIR LENGTH.

If you want your character to have long hair,style it in a way that will keep it out of the way of the maneuver gear, titans, and more importantly, their face. 

Scalping themselves with the maneuver gear sounds more horrid than being eaten by a titan.

Aawwwh cute and I like the song

PLEASE GIVE ME TIPSS!!! So basically your drawing skills are absolute perfection and your naruto OC's are precious. I have some oc's in mind for a story of my own, but I can't draw for the life of me!! If you have any advice please please share! I'm getting desperate here

It depends on what you exactly struggle at. if it’s people in general I suggest you learn realistic anatomy both face and body. Here are series of tutorials that I strongly recommend http://foervraengd.deviantart.com/art/UNDERSTANDING-ANATOMY-part-I-220251993

  If it’s style itself I have made a tutorial for that http://pumyteh.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-face-tutorial-553892112

If you really want to learn just keep practicing and challenge yourself to draw things that still seem impossible for your level (with the help of tutorials ofc)

we’ve all seen this idris elba gifset right

Reflection on Attack on Titan: how the narrative failed its premise

I apologize for dwelling so much on something I no longer like with Attack on Titan, it’s just such a fascinating trainwreck, even though I hopped off the train just in time I have to look back at it periodically and be horrified yet morbidly reflective. I do find it disturbing people are denying the imperialist subtext here because it barely qualifies as subtext anymore at this point, so I do think noting it is valuable as long as fandom continues to be denial.

I just keep wondering at myself why I was drawn to AOT in the first place and HOW I didn’t see this coming- I think reflecting on that is valuable so I’ll see the warning signs earlier with other media.

It also helps me consider what makes a good narrative and what elements can appear compelling only to be squandered.

Because honestly, there WAS so much potential there, and though it’s a struggle, I CAN remember what excited me about it. There was a good horror concept here. It really did make me feel what the terror would be, to have this unknowable, ravenous threat that could so easily wipe out everything, to have to trap yourself to avoid it. The huge walls, the striking visuals, the displays of human weakness and terror, the visceral aspect of it all- it was compelling stuff. And also importantly, it kind of rode that line where it was very easy to laugh at as well- the memes involving the titans were a TON of fun in the heyday of AOT, the bizarre way the various ones were drawn were so funny, the peak melodrama of the situation was so absurd it almost made fun of itself, especially with all the exaggerated expressions- the fandom had a lot of fun with it.

And the concept COULD have gone somewhere that was compelling, rather than boring fascist nonsense. While the components of fascist narrative were present from the beginning- a grotesque invading threat the military, the protags, as heroes, must fight- there was potential in the premise for all that to be subverted, for it to ultimately go somewhere not fascist. The Titans turning out to be fellow humans, even your former loved ones, could have been more than a footnote. 

The titans actually being people only ended up mattering in the sense of “this shows us the REAL threat is this other race that trapped us here and in fact we must use the titans to defeat them”. It didn’t ultimately change the characters or their ideals, it just made them change enemies (to a much, much more boring threat and narrative). But it COULD have been a game changer that shook the characters to their core. A very natural place for this revelation to lead would have been “it turns out there is no clear enemy. We’ve been fighting ourselves this whole time. We thought we were killing something monstrous, but it wasn’t, it was the people we love. We were used. Now what do we do?”  It could have been a story of the characters struggling to answer that question. How can they seek freedom now? 

And if you really want a “dismantle the corrupt government” plotline, it would be a much simpler and stronger narrative if it was simply about the government pushing for Titan extermination despite the revelation, because they prioritized their own safety above all else and also wanted to erase past mistakes.

What if the Titans had simply been the result of horrific human experimentation done in the past and the government just wanted to cover it up? That’s it. no other countries, no emphasis on royal bloodlines or magic amnesia or any other convoluted bullshit. The reason people responded to Attack on Titan was NOT because they love convoluted royal drama or covoluted wars between opposing countries, that was not even a factor in the beginning…it was because it touched on this very simple, visceral thrill, so the story needed to keep being simple and visceral.

 The final struggle of the narrative, the key to freedom, could have been the characters having the re-evaluate their worldviews and the character having to struggle to find an alternate method to deal with the titans while society goes against them for doing so. 

The survey corps is disbanded. Eren, who could only deal with his grief by focusing on obliterating a clear enemy, now doesn’t have that and is forced to actually grow as a character. He has to actually confront his guilt and the fact his desire to construct an inhuman opponent he could fight was all so he didn’t have to deal with survivors guilt, because he wanted something that was black and white with no messy emotions attached. but it turns out nothing ever is that simple.

Or hey, maybe there’s something more compelling and less predictable you could do to subvert the fascist elements. I’m only doing this off the top of my head, there are probably a million ways the story could go in a more interesting direction than the shitstorm we got if someone actually focused and creative puts their mind to it.
