#<- her w The Powers... So real

[tankgotstuckinthecircusgate]

2am thinking about aglaya lilich who executed people without any pity had an insane amount of power but also always knew she's just a doomed marionette with no actual will

"The desire to put people out of their misery by restoring the broken logic of the world is what drives her to action."

"There is an eternally predetermined order by which everything goes as it should along a predetermined path."

This is from patho 2 which i didn't play but fr..

"So how do you build a perfect world if you're going to have less than perfect people living in it?

The Inquisition has no answer to that question. All I can do is protect the system, keep it from collapsing and burying millions of lives under its rubble."

"Betrayal is death. Next. Treason is betrayal. Betrayal is death. Left. Next. Death. Next. Death. Anybody not on any of these cases?There are no other crimes. There is no evil, no murder, cannibalism or violence. There's nothing worse than betraying someone who's trusted you. And everyone with a confession like that goes straight to the left. It's death. It's out of the question."

"Are you kidding me? I'm an automaton. This is an unsolvable city. I don't know how to do that. Listen. I don't have much time left. If I can't solve this city, I have, uh. ampoule. They sent me to do this on purpose. There's no winning this thing. "Resolve" means… well, bring the matter to an end. Inquisition. You know what I mean? It was - and now it isn't."

"Aglaia is a God-fighter. Those whom she touches begin to rebel against the established order of things. At the same time, Aglaia is the voice of the law. She sees the universe as a machine. She asserts that the logic of the universe is above all, and to hell with polyhedrons. God-fighting for her is also the restoration of justice, the law of nature. Those she touches begin to realize that there are limits to what is possible and one must obey them."

Eve, Kate, Mark and Rex! Nailing some ideas down on how I wanna draw them in the future, and enjoying messing with their designs like usual! Not a fix-it whatsoever just fun + ref for the future! I cannot do realistic styles so translating them into something I can do while still being recognizable is peak. I will mess with Rex's suit more. Trust. I Kate so much now. Look at her <333333

“You’re different now.” Cassandra’s voice in Scott’s body walked around the room, slowly circling him. “I’m not sure I like it. You used to pine after this one.” He paused. “Oh, but you didn’t think you were pining, did you? For both him and his lovely wife.”

Logan clenched his jaw and didn’t say a word.

Scott sighed. “That one’s too easy. You don’t actually care anymore. Not the way you do about…Deadpool.”

Logan fists curled.

“There it is.” Scott sat down on the console and threw one leg thoughtfully over the other. “You used to be so sad.” Scott’s lips formed a mockery of a pout. “Look at you now, all in love. You’re committed to him. Devoted. It’s sweet. And grotesque.” Scott stood back up again. “I don’t think I like it.”

Logan kept his mouth shut. There wasn’t any point in answering.

“That’s right, I don’t need you to tell me how to hurt you.”

Rage bubbled up Logan’s chest so fast he was across the room before Cassandra-as-Scott could even so much as twitch.

“If you touch him, I will fucking kill you, for good this time. I will find you, and I will find a way to kill you. Do not fucking underestimate me.”

“Ha! I love it.” Scott tapped his finger against his chin. “You know, I’m in quite a bad mood. You wouldn’t know that, of course. I mean, why would you? It’s just…I recently regained consciousness after a bad case of the atomization.”

“So you survived. Big whoop. You want a medal?”

“That’s very cute.” Scott clasped his hands and strode towards Logan. “You take after him now.”

When Scott was less than a foot away, Logan raised his claws in warning.

“It’s amusing that you think you can hurt me.” Scott prodded at the end of one claw. “I have just one question for you. Well, two. Do you think yourself a changed man, Logan? You think he’s changed?”

“I think I want to fucking kill you.”

“Yes, yes, you don’t even need to say it.” Scott pulled his hand back and clasped it behind his back. “In here, I see everything. Your faith in him is adorable, by the way. Shall we put it to the test?”

Scott raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Anders kinnies on twitter in the year 2024 not understanding that while yes, Meredith had previously written to Val Royeaux to ask about invoking the Right of Annulment, the request was rejected.

In the throes of her paranoia being made worse with the addition of the red lyrium idol fashioned into a sword, she was getting desperate and looking to search the Gallows for blood mages as a reason to invoke the Right.

However, Meredith did not invoke the Right until after Anders blew up the Chantry.

During the argument with Orsino, it was clear that he was not going to allow Meredith to search the tower. And, much like the start of Act 3 in Hightown, he wanted to call upon Grand Cleric Elthina to settle their disagreement because he KNEW that Elthina was the only person who could control Meredith (and kept her on a proverbially short leash). To this, Meredith immediately raises her voice and says "You will NOT bring her Grace into this!" which CLEARLY implies she knows Elthina would put a stop to her actions then and there, which is the opposite of what Meredith wants to do.

So, with Anders' interjection in this scene and blowing the Chantry up:

Meredith (who was running Kirkwall as a Templar police state under martial law) had to respond to the crime in and of itself;

Elthina was dead, and therefore, the person who could have stopped her from invoking the Right of Annulment was no longer able to do so; and,

She was already at the peak of her paranoia, and this made her not seek justice on Anders himself (who had immunity from templar prosecution as a Grey Warden), but upon the innocent mages of the Circle.

So, she initiated the Right of Annulment as a response to the destruction and lives lost, and the Circle mages paid for Anders' actions (and depending on Hawke's choice, his own life could pay for it too).

It is not difficult to understand that Anders' actions - however morally justified he may have been - acted as the catalyst to the genocide of the Kirkwall Circle.

People will say "it would've happened anyway" but to be frank, if Anders did not blow up the Chantry and had Elthina been involved, she would've shut Meredith down again as someone who didn't want to get involved in taking sides but wanted to maintain the peace AND the desires of the Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux. Alternatively, Hawke - Champion of Kirkwall - has enough influence at this point to influence Meredith and Orsino both as a popular (political) figure among Kirkwall's citizens and nobility. (it's why Meredith was reluctant to crown them Champion to begin with - it gave them power that she wanted for herself!).

I realize a lot of DA fans are not looking at these moments in-depth, but acting as if Anders is entirely justified in giving Meredith the fuel she needed to kill all the innocent mages is a bit ignorant and tbqh, misunderstanding this situation for what it is.

Danny phantom episode “Girls night out” deserves more hate. Like it’s the worst of season 3’s shift into more generic superhero cartoon plot lines imo, it’s gender politics are noxious. Something about the art is especially not working for me. ember and spectra should be trying to maul each other.

[miniagula]

suitor armor posting once again ghouls bc their dialogue and tension is once again fizzling my neurons

[morninkim]

was gonna wait until the big RotMMPR Movie post to show off designs from it

HOWEVER. i like these, so here's the team unmorphed :)

Distant Thunder takes place in the summer following Billy, Kimberly and Tommy's senior year, and Rocky, Aisha and Adam's sophmore year - so it's been about a year since the final battle with Zedd

WAIT WAIT WAIT So was Amaya once an actual person that Magnifico knew and loved but she died so he recreated her and made her into the marionette? Or was she never a person and he invented an entire new person so he wouldn’t be alone?

i think the second one!! like he just straight up created her from scratch

I do not go here (Rogue Trader) but everything you post about Leda has me chin-handsing. Very fascinating. I am invested.

im glad youre enjoying my shouting into the void about her !!!!!!! shes so much fun and shes very slowly coming together as a Personality in my brain at long last 🙏 she needs to be rotisserie-chicken-rotated a bit more but im seeing the vision !!!

ive talked before about the allure of the wh40k franchise (for myself personally) being about morality and the question of how goodness can exist at all in a world so devoid of hope. and leda feels like a good answer to that question . like a truly good person who has had no choice but to quantify her goodness with opportunism and underhanded manipulation because survival under warhammer conditions so often comes down to either 1) cruelty and violence or b) abovementioned opportunism and underhanded manipulation lol. and she doesnt want to be cruel. therefore everything else MUST be on the table, if the end justifies the means.

and lastly its interesting to think abt a character who, in their ultimate persuit of a goodness finds their own goodness is eroded and stretched to its limits and eventually you have trouble differentiating what is Genuine kindness and what is secretly a Move. am i making sense. is this thing on.

i think the only thing that would make the xarrastarion harper ending au work is acknowledging they’re not Good harpers. they’re actively bad harpers. like i don’t think they would Stop extorting people (explicitly against the harper code) and would not go all that far out of their way to help anyone without expecting compensation (again. against harper code) and are like, not really That concerned with the consequences of their actions usually. but Also they’re both personally invested in like, freedom and ending slavery and tyranny to some extent, and are definitely very good at the sort of manipulation that makes up most of harper work. and like the idea of them as absolutely piss poor harpers Morally but extremely effective when it comes to Getting Things Done is so so so silly. they’re like jaheira’s problem children. they’re wandering up and down the sword coast breaking most of the harper rules and flashing their little harper pins like get out of jail free cards but they’re also absolutely able to dismantle entire slaver operations in a day and a half. they’re just also claiming at least half of the loot for themselves instead of redistributing it

I recently watched those war arc episodes around 370s to 380s and I observed that most of the moves were only of space-time ninjutsu and flying raijin.

If Kishimoto ever used her potential to the fullest, she would've contributed much more in the war arc but... Sounded like nobody wanted her to do and just let people sh*t talk about her not doing much 😞

"If Kishimoto ever used her potential to the fullest, she would've contributed much more" WHAT I'M SAYING ABOUT EVERY WOMAN IN THIS SHOW!!!!! >:(

Tenten was done especially dirty (during the war arc, yeah but also through the whole series). She got her moment to shine with the Sage of Six Path Tools, but nothing further than that. She's criminally underutilized, which is saying something because that's true of every woman in the show. But it's especially bad with Tenten because so many of the moments she gets aren't even manga canon, they're scenes added in the anime.

Her power set is so cool and having her use any kind of space-time ninjutsu would be amazing, she's clearly got fuinjutsu and space-time ninjutsu capabilities so like... take it further?? There are so many cool space-time ninjutsu that seem within her capabilities and I think she definitely could have played a bigger role during the war if kishi hadn't forgotten about any character that wasn't a Hokage, an Uchiha, or Naruto.

agents of shield s7 really was a shockingly good conclusion to something I like… like on it’s own it’s a good season but I don’t really realize how highly I think of it overall (it’s not agents of shield s4 who’s praises I’ll sing any day of the week) until I think about how many concluding seasons or books of shows or series I love could have been better if they were more like it in a variety of ways…

[theonlyadawong]

very interested in the type of training ada does to develop her fighting style

[impossible-rat-babies]
