6/3/2026 people who hate Jax with everything in themselves are just the modern day vriska haters because Jax is just vriska but if AH knew how to write tavros (and by extension jake). is this thing on. i havent been on tumblr in almost a year and i just within the past month watched tadc. i havent really interacted with many people online about the show, but my sister is lowk obsessed with tadc and she fucking hates jax. with all her soul. she thinks anyone who cares at all about him is so fucking stupid. i tried to explain to her what nuance is but it just cant get into her thick fucking skull. once a few years ago, she was making stupid comments on a different show i think too much about, so i played her that prince charming song from wicked, the dancing through life song, and i said "this is just like you". i meant it as an incredibly cruel insult, because if someone said that to me, i would be embarrassed and ashamed, and incredibly angry and violent at the thought of someone thinking that i am not incredibly correct because i have overthought every little thing about something. she took it as an on the face compliment and said "yesss this song is me perfectly". i cant fucking take it man i cant watch shit with her because i know that on a fundamental level she is not really watching it like i am, she is watching surface level bullshit. call her cattle for how she grazin. call her a coastal dolphin for how she swims only in shallow water. call her a bat for how she cant see for shit when the subtext is clear as fuckin day. anyways i think that there are many children of her age that share her opinion, and because jax is a dude and therefore uncool and vriska is forgotten to the children of today and also a woman (woah) they hate jax and are at worst ambivalent towards vriska. i have no idea if anyone shares my opinion, i have no idea if this is a well known take. anyways this was written 6/3/2026 i am seeing the movie in a couple days, i have been having these thoughts for two weeks now as that is when my sister blundered and put forth her vitrolic trash take of the century. god i hate it here its like im the only one with the completely and entirely correct take

6/27/2026 in that miraculous episode where marinette got akumatized in season 6 she was kinda a lowk shit akuma, the only cool thing about her fit was cause the lighting department is on fire this season. and the barbed wire buns those were cute. anyways she didnt ever react to the outside world until adrien was all huggy or whatever and she and cerise didnt react at all to when adrien detransformed. like. i guess we dont know FOR SURE but i always kind of assumed that the butterfly holder could see through the eyes of the akuma. we know from when Tomoe gets akumatized that she gets her vision back, so I think it stands to reason that butterfly holders can change the physical abilities of the akumas (this is a stupidly obvious thing but I figured id state it anyways). All this to say. maybe love is blind and mari and cerise truly couldnt see adrien detransform. i havent seen this take anywhere else on the internet but its cute to me lol

9/15/2026 SO like its been established that the troll world has weird versions of human media. and it has also been semi established(i think? its been awhile since i read the troll portion of hs) that all creatures are lusii. would this mean that curious george takes on a greater political feel good message in the trollverse? or is it more of the same? or is it an extreme comedy? If troll curious george is a lusus this would either mean the show is an inversion of the troll lusus dynamic where an adult troll must care for a young lusus; OR it is supposed to be an inversion only that the lusus is the center of attention and thats wEiRd and fUnKy lusus shenanigans are more of the same- we have seen lusii act irresponsible before, this would be more the same. OR something like that. It makes me wonder cause both versions in my head intrigue me so much- For the inverse troll lusus dynamic, I invision a sort of ancestor world where adults still roam Alternia, and lusii are not yet fully domesticated or whatever and thus the man in the yellow hat is a pioneer in his time, taking care of a monkey lusus so that when he eventually leaves, that lusus is predisposed to trolls and likes to take care of them. While everyone knows that at the end of the show, history will right itself and the relationship will become normal, it is still weird to watch it for young trolls. Maybe they look at their parents differently, knowing they could have been just like george. And for the comedy, I think it would be like those laugh track older shows like brady bunch or something- funny family show type shi. Like- ohhh no! the yellowbloods lusus is once again messing with the lusus downstairs (hudley). luckily, the rustblood who owns it is kind! poor yellowblood, his lusus is soooo wacky!. or smth like that. and then its like. a sort of propoganda as well that teaches the trolls that it is THEIR duty to make sure their lusii behave, and stuff like that. but it is still an inversion of dynsmics because the show focuses on the lusii and not on the trolls. IDK its kinda interesting. I woke up really sick so i might be hallucinating a little

9/17/2026 still sick btw. just kill me now ive missed so many classes and a hw assignment like aaa. ne ways... I saw a pinterest post on how by the time we get to nona the ninth, our view of necromancy has kind of changed a lot and we see it as the evil side in the conflict between the cohort and BOE. there were many comments on the post about how its not really necromancy that's evil though, it's really just jod. and. while i would love to agree. I really don't agree! maybe it's just me, and tbh I am probably reading this wrong, but I do think we are not supposed to be that cool with necromancy by the end of the series!!!! And I will explain my viewpoint here. Let's first off say, obviously our view on necromancy changes- our narrator has changed every book! Gideon did not really "get" necromancy, although she knew bones and she knew that people cared about necromancy. Harrow knew necromancy very well, but at the time we were with her for HTN, she was A. not in a place to explain things to us and B. at that point, her half baked lyctorhood threw off what "normal" necromancy is and C. she is a child prodigy, she is giving a very skewed version of what necromancy is. and of course in NTN, Nona does not know shit about necromancy, other than that people hate necros and hate the cohort. which. she barely knows tbh. And I look forward to ATN, where hopefully once again our view of necromancy is completely flipped. Here is my argument for necromancy- it is the weapon of the colonizer. The advantage the colonizer may have from being a colonizer or from different technologies, the difference in gut biomes when it comes to deadly disease, etc. And I think Jod doesn't see it that way because on earth, he was not the colonizer. Necromancy is all about taking from a body/spirit and twisting to our needs- the idea of consent and necromancy is I would say, one of the main themes of GTN. The relationship between cav and necro is so special and "marriage like" because there is an innate promise the cav makes that their necro can take from them. there is the idea of consent, but it is heavily expected that when you are a cav, you give yourself to your necromancy continually. The necromancer takes the body, takes the spirit, can take anything, with or without consent, and uses it to make weaponry, to call on someone, or to do labor in some other way. For necromancy's real life comparisons, it is easy to say "oh, the europeans made guns for hunting, its not necessarily malicious" or "its not like they tried to get all the indigenous populations sick! twas an accident". You can't really make a case like that for necromancy though! from the beginning, Jod took from Earth, and twisted Earth into a woman shape without Earths permission. From the beginning, necromancys first act was to take and to twist in a way that did not require consent. While later on, many cav and necro pairs do "ethical necromancy" where the cav really does give permission (i.e. Gideon and Harrow with the thanergy siphoning, i guess?), this does not mean there isn't a power dynamic at play. I guess maybe this take is a little bit in the same vein as "all sex is sexist/power play/rape" or whatever that one feminist said, but IDK! I think you're not supposed to like necromancy! I think it's an allegory for colonialism and lack of consent! idk man! maybe we all got a little too turned on by all the cool bone fights, but it is like. a thing! idk man I just came up with this take this mornign. maybe im weird for this. cest la vie

9/18/2026 STILL SICK BTW. missed my friends brothers wedding. augh. and im getting another friend sick. hhhhhh. anyways,,, I just watched Akira for the first time today. I really liked it, the animation was beautiful, the soundtrack was bops, the characters were fascinating to rotate, the social commentary was amazing, the voice acting. anways. I was thinking throughout the whole thing about just how many people in Japan have made art, with or without meaning to, linking back to the fear relating to atom bombs. The actual bombs, the way it touches the environment, the scientists and governments behind it, the ideologies behind it. And I found myself thinking of how similar things can be said for pretty much everywhere, because pretty much everyone has been fucked in some way. I wondered for a really long time what the way I would be touched is, the way America would be touched. I could not think for a while of something comparable to the atom bomb, something that americans could fear in a sort of primal way as a natural force, or as an inevitable end. And then I realized that throughout this entire viewing, I had been in my head comparing Tetsuo to a school shooter. I thought then, well. its not like school shooters were a thing 20 years ago, its not like you even go to school or ever have, this cant be it. but I think the bigger thing of a school shooter is the idea that an individual that is left, forgotten, or belittled, can somehow make its way back to us and destroy everything we care about- our life, our school, our city. And that kind of makes sense for a weakened previous global superpower to be afraid of- the kid we constantly ignore, bully, or hurt growing up and hurting us. idk man its interesting stuff
