Burning Rotten Bridges
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mianmian#nie mingjue#jin guangyao#JGY is nothing but outwardly calm and carrying on his duties as the chair for the meeting#but in that small pause after Nie Mingjue commemorates Mianmian for leaving...you can feel the tension.#Because Nie Mingjue comes from a place of privilege. He's always been in a position where his legitimacy and political standing-#-were never challenged. He didn't have to fight for respect. He was born into this world respected.#For people like Mianmian and JGY who clawed their way up from the bottom...this is a huge deal.#Truth be told I have a lot of things to say about what it means and feels to be in a position where leaving is messy.#There are times where the situation is bad but to leave means that those years of your life will have been for nothing.#That all the other suffering incurred will be fruitless. So you just *keep going*. Because it *has* to be worth it.#Because going back to what you were before is even more terrifying than the hell you are boiling in.#My concrete example for this is post-grad academia.#Because that cohort will have spent over a decade pursuing a goal and leaving means...well...it means throwing away those years.#It means losing (likely nearly all) your connections. It means going into debt you'll never pay off.#It means putting up with some pretty heinous abuse from your supervisor because what are you suppose to do? Leave?#Leaving is for those with the privilege to have options.#And even if you do have options...#Ultimately we would rather love the pain we know than risk the unknown. Hoping it's worth it one day.#With that mindset established; never say JGY should have just left like Mianmian. He couldn't. This was what he dedicated his life to.#He never had the option. Even if it seemed like he did - no he did not. He never conceived this ending ever happening for himself.

Supernatural Cops
The fandom has come to the conclusion that all kinds of supernatural or unusual things happen in Amity Park and people take it like any other Tuesday.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this place is the only place in the country (not to say the world) that has a police division in charge of handling Cults…
Yes, in Amity Park there is a group of police (not to say half of all the police in the city) that are dedicated to controlling cults and their peculiarities, because we must remember that, despite the reputation of being a tourist trap, this town in the middle of nowhere has the reputation of being the most haunted place in the country (or the world), so it wouldn't be crazy to say that on certain dates of the year many "tourists" (cough cultists cough) arrive who come in order to do "events" (cough rites cough), so whether they want it or not, someone has to control that the limits on how they are "celebrating" are not broken… and to top it off, the limits of what the city considers acceptable is a greater margin than other places, so it has become common for some groups to come back later.
So yes, Amity Park has one of the most effective police departments in dealing with cults and supernatural beliefs, not only are they effective in identifying participants, most of the time they know what kind of cultist they are dealing with, whether they are just playing a game or are the real magic business and how dangerous/troublesome they will be in the end.
What's more, this group is so good at what they do, that many times the inhabitants of Amity Park prefer to call them instead of the GIW (they are too destructive and there is still no 100% reliable insurance that will pay for the damages they cause), when it comes to a problem with a ghost and the ghost child is not around.
and that competition is more noticeable when other cities in the country begin to ask for help with some unknown cults that are appearing rap
#danny phantom#dp x batman#dp x dc#batman#amity park#cryptid amity park#everybody from amity park is overly conpetent#Amity Park police have a secret relationship with Phantom#The Mayor would not approve of the police supporting a ghost#Many of the investigative books that the police use come from Phantom#They are the only group of adults that many teenagers in the city trust#They are the ones who clean up after the ghost fights#They also prevent the destruction of the city#Cultists often visit Amity Park#There are specialized stores to sell ritual ingredients in Amity Park#Someone adapted and rented some unused land in the cemetery for rituals#The waiting list can take months for some places#There are auctions for renting the place on dates like Halloween or the solstice#The police have thermos that are given and collected by the Fenton boy or his friends#The entire cult department of the police is hidden from the mayor#Most of the police do not trust him Mayor#Amiry Park was used to get rid of some overzealous or troublesome cops from other cities#At first those cops wanted to come back#now they don't want to leave#Silent war between Amity Park police and the GIW

I need fewer happy fix-it AUs where Anakin's just off doing the White Picket Fence thing with Padme and more where she's divorced him and he's run off to Tatooine and has shacked up with the Larses while he helps them with their abolition work.
I think it is beyond time that we as a fandom recognize that Padme IS NOT Anakin's happy ending and that the two of them quite genuinely just make each other worse and miserable, and what Anakin ACTUALLY needs to be happy is someone who isn't just going to enable him to be his worst self while still providing him a stable traditional family structure and the opportunity to face and overcome the demons of his past.
#star wars#anakin skywalker#anidala critical#anti anidala#owen lars#beru whitesun lars#beru whitesun#beru lars#the jedi can obviously do a LOT of those things for anakin if he'd let them#but the one thing they are not is a 'traditional family structure' and i do think anakin places importance on that#i think the larses considering him family because of the connection through shmi would be important#that idea that family comes first would be important#but that being family doesn't free him from the necessity of being a decent person and pulling his own weight#owen and beru won't accept anakin's bullshit

I AM AT MY LIMIT
Snoopy #90
30/12/2024
description under the cut
[description: a cartoon-style drawing of Snoopy's head. Snoopy is a white dog with black ears. His eyes are shut and his mouth is a horizontal line. There are two large blue teardrops, one under each eye. The text "I am at my limit" is handwritten across the top of the image.]
#peanuts#snoopy#art#90#based on that emoji face meme but i can't find the original ANYWHERE#at least not the entire image unedited. other than on like redbubble listings but i don't want to link those haha#if someone has a link to it please send it to me!! so i can link it in the post. thanks :)#also i have decided to start doing descriptions for each image (which i have been meaning to do for a while)#now that people actually follow this blog and interact with it and stuff#tbh i should've started doing them a long time ago#but the idea of retroactively going back to every post and adding a description kept putting me off... which is silly because it's only#gonna become more work the longer i leave it. so you know. just gotta start doing it#i will endeavour to add a description to all the previous snoopys of the day soon 🤞#anyway i made this because i sent a friend the original emoji image (taken from a redbubble screenshot LOL)#because we have been trying to book a place to stay for a group trip (6 people)#and like i did all the research and made a list to start us off (while letting people know they could add to the list) and sent that around#and made a poll for people to vote for their preferred place#and some people in the group have been taking FOREVER to respond with their opinions about accommodation#like to the point where all the other good places on the list have been booked up now and there is just one left#which luckily is the one with the most votes#and today i was like (about to book that one) ok well before i book i'm just checking that everyone is ok with these dates?#and some of them were like ohhh actually no. we haven't booked our flights yet so we're not sure which days exactly we'll be there#WHAT DO YOU MEAN!#in fairness i should've checked that we were all on the same page about dates beforehand#but like. the trip is literally in like 5 weeks AND during a public holiday like omfggggggg everywhere is gonna be booked out#do you know how hard it is to find accommodation for 6 people#and i don't even know the people who haven't been responding/haven't booked their flights/whatever#they're friends of a friend (who will also be coming on the trip) and i know nothing about them#i think i would be a lot less annoyed if it was just my friends because we would've just hopped on a call and sorted everything out in like#one night. otherwise we know + trust each other enough to make decisions for each other if we can't/don't want to be involved in planning

it’s 3am so watch me commiserate over this clip that’s been living in my head rent free for months now and making me sad once again after recent events
that feeling of it being just dapper and q!bad against the world returns once again
“i’m the only one who can watch you”
it’s the fact that the guy that would sacrifice eveything for any of the kids to stay safe, no matter how much strife or hatred or nasty words any of the parents could throw at him, is the one who feels like he has no one watching out for his own but himself. dapper is only an afterthought to the others. someone to remember only after all the terrible things have already happened. of course the halo family has others who they trust, but over and over again it’s shown that there’s a reason why q!bad is basically dapper’s whole world and why dapper is his sunshine
this is isn’t something new. they’ve both always shared this sentiment. dapper, the sole escapee off egg island, having only his dad at his side as they ran to that boat. and more recently, no one making sure dapper could ride out on the train with the rest of the islanders and eggs into the new server when they left that library

they “left me behind” and “just forgot me”
thankfully q!etoiles started to run back, but the fact that no one checked in the first place, that it seemed like q!etoiles was really the only one to notice even though plenty of others saw that dapper was online and around. q!bad is the only one who’s ever had dapper as priority number one in anything
that poor kid said it herself, she thinks she’s not one of the favorites. he thinks the others will be prioritized first. and they’re unfortunately likely right about that unless it comes to their dad
so the mantra continues; it’s simply dapper and q!bad against the world, to have each others backs, to live and die for each other
#the fact that bad was completely ready to run back for the other kids at the end of purg 1#but decided to place his trust that the parents would do whatever they could to get their kids bc he knew if he wasn’t there for dapper#no one else would and he was right#also#i just got really sad remembering watching dapper walking down those tracks by himself#she’s strong but she’s also still just baby :(#his tendency to think little of himself comes from dad#qsmp#qsmp dapper#dapper the egg#q!badboyhalo#badboyhalo#video#long post kind of?#also i say 3am post but i didn’t finish writing this until like 3:40am so rip

I want to hold your hand I don't want to hurt you
More of @fiestylittlebeetle's Malether propaganda they have been parasitising off my brain especially now that I've drawn then once have more hand language *grins*
#malware#malware ben 10#aether#oc#ben 10 oc#ben 10#oc x canon#fanart#i also literally have a headcold#so since i'm plagued with human malware i might as well pay tribute to the character malware as well#also i know i did the same fucking border thing i did with them the last time but shhhh this time i gave it narrative purpose#sent this one to my group chat and as always had to guess if this was ben 10 related (they were right)#immediately clocked as gay don't know if it's just track record or something specifically in the image but#verrry accurate#i like hand emotions they are so fun#i was gonna say 'as always' as if i've more consistently drawn them but 'as i have started doing' is more accurate#as i have started doing (don't know if this is accurate) but i make mal's hand emotions kinda more blatant than aether's#his face or rather optic ring isn't NOT expressive but he defaults to anger a lot- his hands are easier to read#mostly because of the veiled threat of bared claws or when those claws relax- or rn when those claws turn inward#ball into a fist with all the desire TO touch yet filled with the heightened urge to PREVENT touch#terrified that if he clings on to dear bloody life- sticks his claws in with all the want and need for contact mal is starved of#that it'll be his worst mistake#in comparison i made aether's hand emotions less emotive- this is where the 'don't know if that's right' comes in#instead of flinching into a retreat like i made him do in the previous art his hand just flattens into the non-descript surface#mal already having fled from his already loose 'grasp' that he doesn't need to back off much#rather he keeps his hand nearby- not holding out impatiently waiting for their 'moment' to come back#but sitting with mal and still being close enough that if he's still in the mood he can just- place his hand next to his#maybe the touching is over and that's okay- aether isn't 'waiting on the perfect scene'- he's giving him space#and THAT makes it a 'perfect moment' because :P#or whatever that's the intended hand language

i could go on and on on the importance of shunkun and yuu being narrative foils of each other and how devastating it makes things
but nah, don't be silly, why would I express this sentiment on a serious drawing when i can draw fluff!!!😊😊 (copium)
progress dump... from vision to the end!!!
Vision->Spirit drawing->Sketch->Details on top of Sketch->Lineart->Color!!!!
"what is a spirit drawing michael" spirit. i inject spirit of my vision into the canvas and hope it makes sense later somehow💜 my process is mysterious in its ways.... not even i know what is going on(��∀。)

anyway heres an image of the many. many glitches and difficulties i have to face now that my computer finally sniped clip studio😭 but i never give up I dont let the computer stop me
#re:kinder#rekinder#my art#yuuichi mizuoka#shunsuke takano#parun#fanart#this one is thanks to a certain post i saw a few days ago in tumblr. i just had to draw it as them#which was made by @hairscare !!! so shoutout to them for awakening this drawinf#i saw it and i inmediately knew what i had to do#BECAUSE GENUINELY i will never get over the sheer tragedy that these two are similar in many ways#yet the circumstances has made it so while one could fight and keep going with life the other gave up entirely and died??? hello???😭😭#ITS DEVASTATING BECAUSE OF WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN IF THINGS WERE DIFFERENT#BUT THEY WERENT FROM THE START OF THE GAME THERE WAS NO GOING BACK#i constantly think about the fact that shunkun was having dreams of yuu essentially crying for help FOR A GOOD BIT#like look . game starts out he acknowledges this and its. like. who even is that boy that dream again#WHICH WOULD ALREADY PLACE IT SO IT **AT LEAST** HAS HAPPENED TWICE. SO FOR TWO DAYS AT MINIMUM#BUT THEN YOU PLACE THE TIME WHERE SHUNKUN WAS AWAY FROM HOME#WHICH IS DAYS. PLURAL DAYS#AND THE MASSACRE COULD ONLY HAVE POSSIBLY STARTED THE MORNING OF THE DAY HE COMES BACK#because the other kids that survived woke up that same day and were extremely confused so that didnt happen the moment shunkun left#it pretty much happened shortly before arriving and thus the same day he left#which . by the way nothing to do i think it was intentionally premeditated so all the participants of the friends game could be there#BUT THE POINT IS. MULTIPLE DAYS IT HAD BEEN MULTIPLE DAYS SINCE THOSE DREAMS STARTED#so the mere idea that there was a slim point where things could have possibly been different if if that call for help would have possibly#jesus cheisr they mess me up#THE SLIM PERIOD OF TIME IS ITS AWFUL its .#AND THERES MORE OF THIS THERES MORE OF THIS IN ME REGARDING THE TRAGEDY OF THESE TWO BEING FOILS#BUT THIS IS A POST OF A FLUFF DRAWING SO LETS LEAVE IT THERE SHALL WE😁😁😁#they make me sick. i will die /lighthearted

the thing about the thing is that any klaus ship makes more sense than kl*roline and those people have to act like that to compensate. and i do mean literally any klaus ship.
the originals edition? klaurora ate. would've done great things if not for elijah. klamille? ain't everyone's cup of tea but it still makes more sense for klaus to have an interest in her than that other blonde girl at the very LEAST from a psychology aspect and to get at marcel and kieran. klayley? even if the only thing they Ever did was hate fuck, it still would've been more in character. klaus and lucien, klaus and genevieve, all of them make at least some sense from a narrative point of view.
tvd? klaus and elena? would've been a dark and twisty ass romance, but would've been great to witness. klaus and bonnie? not only would it have been eagerly accepted, but it was WANTED by the actors too. klaus and katherine? c'mon. (if you come to me about 'he killed her family!!' i'm sorry but i do not care they would've been so fucking funny). klaus and stefan.
even in the fucking BOOKS, klaus and vivianne were so, so much better. it's just.
like i'm SORRY but no matter what other ship it is kl*roline falls flat. he liked her because why? he has a weird complex about his sister and he wanted to assert dominance over tyler. there was literally no other reason for that man to give a shit about her.
#“do you truly think that lowly of me?” like you didn't force tyler to bite her in the first place?? where tf did that shit come from#klaus mikaelson#i ain't tagging all those girls i'm so sorry#anti klaroline#klaurora#klamille#klayley#klucien#klaus x genevieve#idk that ship name#klena#klonnie#klatherine#klefan#klaus x vivianne#these are for my tagging purposes#i personally like him with vivianne aurora cami elena bonnie hayley katherine In That Order#but it's literally sick the one with the biggest fandom makes the least amount of sense#just nasty#tvdu

the relief when you test and it is just a cold. Brings me back to times of my youth in which I could just have a cold without going through a moral crisis and the 5 stages of grief
#we are NOT driving off the cliff today 👌#i am still annoyed because i like always get a cold or the flu or something in late January and i was so determined not to#also i could only have gotten it from work because it's the only place i've been#so that means one of those guys gave it to me 🗡️🗡️🗡️#really that means everyone is getting sick because of the insane hours i don't exactly blame c for coming in sniffling#but still

god I hated the fc6 dlc, it just felt like it was written by people who barely knew the story and characters, they felt so out of character tbh
I don’t want to say I hate it because, as always, I’m sure the dev team did what they could with the time and resources they had, and the three DLC episodes do have qualities (their dream-like worlds, especially), but I’d be lying if I said I greatly enjoyed their stories, thought that everyone was perfectly in character, and that my instinctual reaction when I think about them wasn’t to tense up.
I’m also (and mostly, I think) sad they’re official and that the not-always-accurate events they show are unquestioned and now accepted as canon by many fans. I don’t blame them for thinking the DLCs are inherently trustworthy and I’m aware most players aren’t as fussy about lore accuracy as I am (good for them, honestly), but that still really upsets me.
#the words 'as revealed in the dlc' make me want to scream#I also hate it when I see people say those who didn’t like it are just angry because it was different from their headcanons#look I’m sorry but while it’s true that no one can ever be 100% objective about anything#I didn’t dedicate dozens of hours of my life to listening to sound files and reading/watching everything I could about fc5 to be told:#'you didn’t like collapse simply because you’re biased and never really understood the story and characters in the first place'#in my 'review' I even made a distinction between the things I personally didn’t like and the ones that were objectively inaccurate#so no. just no.#…those dismissive posts I’m angrily referring to are like 2.5 years old but I’m still mad I had to read that#the frustration had to come out at some point and it was in these tags today :’)#anyway I agree with you that the seeds are often out of character in collapse and that it was a painful experience#also they wanted players to feel empathy for joseph but ended up making him seem more evil and manipulative than he actually was in fc5#which is… strange

I have not been in this fandom long enough to reasonably judge others' takes however. "EPIC fans are so silly to characterize odysseus as feeling guilty for his actions don't you know he's a war criminal" is definitely a wild one. like first of all to each their own so settle down and let people enjoy things ok. and secondly making choices with a bad outcome, even knowingly and deliberately, does not exclude the possibility of feeling bad about it later. in fact it makes for a much more in depth character because then you get to explore what he does or doesn't feel guilt over, and why, and if that guilt ever edges into regret or not.
#and thirdly i actually find it fascinating the way EPIC had him take a very conscious role in the greying of his morality#it's interesting to me because from my point of view odysseus in the odyssey is almost a passive player in his own myth#and i enjoy taking that very active moral choice and applying it to some of his non EPIC actions#odysseus#epic the musical#uh what is the tag for the epic cycle#as far as I'm aware it's#tagamemnon#?#idk i just think that if you were to ask your character what they would do differently the answer should not be ''nothing lol''#that is either a character who needs wayy more development or a storyteller who needs wayy more practice#also. WAR CRIMES DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST IT WAS THE BRONZE AGE#regardless of how socially acceptable or not his actions may have been#none of those men on the plain of fucking troy was about to sit down and agree on what constituted a crime of war#like if achilles can get away with flaunting straight up deliberate corpse desecration#i don't think anyone gets to say a word against odysseus for being a sneaky underhanded bastard who doesn't fight fair#coming back an hour later to add yet another point. the point of the people with this take is ''haha dont you know hes a bad person''#which fine yes by modern moral standards he is and even by contemporary standards* some of the stuff he does is super yikes man#but that STILL does not preclude him from feeling guilt. 'bad people' can feel guilt#gonna go ahead and explain those quotes around 'bad person' btw um i do not believe in morality like that. no one is fully good or bad#i shant speak on THAT further unless someone asks though#*contemporary is an iffy word here i feel because the default is to call the time of the penning of the text contemporary#despite the events in the text taking place several centuries earlier.#in this particular case because i am speaking from a point of textual analysis i will use the former#however i think that the latter is also a useful reference point
