and then with a ginormous gap on the right side of the screen, proceeds to be like "I must call Crowley right now immediately."

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

Hi

What do you think of the idea that wwx chrackter arc declined when he come back because he act more carefree and childish than when he was 15, people basically think wwx as a chrackter went 2 step back and that’s why they hate mxy!wwx 😭

Good day, anon.

I don't. Because that's just bad comprehension to even try to say "his character arc declined".

They seem to have taken his Mo Xuanyu shtick, as his actual personality, when that breaks several times in story, even before Lan Wangji admits to knowing it is him. As well as the juniors beginning to believe that "Mo Xuanyu" is not actually a lunatic aside from Jin Ling, who Wei Wuxian is very much trying to keep it from that he is in fact Wei Wuxian and puts on a heavy act, even to his own embarrassment sometimes.

Not sure what exactly is perceived as childish, unless they mean when he teases others, and he always has because that is his personality. And if that's the case, the character probably just isn't for them, but then they really should stop putting Wei Wuxian traits on his lessers in story.

There is no MXY! Wei Wuxian. It's the stupidest thing ever much as fandom trying to act like "Meng Yao" is a separate person from Jin Guangyao.

Since I complained about it last night, here’s how I imagine the narrator

[holychopshopgalaxy]

we as viewers all have our favorite Flint Relationship based off of which one resonates with us the most personally. but from a character standpoint i don't think flint loved thomas, miranda or silver More over the others.

thomas was his self-actualization in terms of both sexuality and his own idealism. he became whole as both a gay man (or bi, depending on your read) and as someone who truly believes the world can be changed for the better despite the cynicism he had grown up with. his rage over the loss of this relationship is partly over thomas the person but more deeply over the loss of that self-actualization. he became himself in that relationship (toby stephens' words), and then civilization brutally killed it. that's the starting point of rage against the world.

silver was also a self-actualization in different sense, as captain flint. he became whole with silver, as both captain flint and reconciling with his past. but captain flint is made of violence and rage just as much as he's made of idealism, which is why his relationship with silver is so bonkers and insane and out of control. it's just as intense and meaningful, but the roller coaster dysfunction has to do with who he is now (and also who silver is) rather than who he was back then. doesn't make his love for silver any less impactful than his love for thomas however.

miranda was the catalyst for both of these self-actualizations. she kickstarted james mcgraw's "idgaf about society" belief and essentially kicked him towards the relationship with thomas. she also kickstarted flint. flint started as an amalgamation of both miranda and james mcgraw's rage, she gave birth to it and nurtured it. neither the self-actualization with thomas or silver could have happened without her. his relationship with miranda was just as impactful to flint as the other two, the other two literally would not have occurred without her.

so no, i don't think he loved any of them The Most. they were equally important. they just served different functions.

Sakamoto days manga spoilers! Parallels from the early manag VS todays chapter!

Showtime (chpt 8) with the sugarbunny mascot fight and Useful (chpt 198) with the fight in the dark and the piano finish. Both times either Shin or Sakamoto can't see during the fight, so they use Shins abilities to counter it!

Sakamoto is so proud. Also poor Lu. (They left the last panel out in the anime, lmao.)

Sakamoto carrying Shin like he weighs nothing, which to him he probably doesn't. Also Shin immediately copying Sakamoto and jamming on the piano. Love it

"You're actually pretty useful."- ahem. Excuse me. You just adopted him in case you didn't notice.

Step 1: start NieR: Automata because of the sick OST. Step 2: 10 minutes into the game find out 9S and Elan share a VA. Step 3: Suffer™

Anyway, have some NieR N°4, both post and pre-Elanification

Design #2 for Poseidon for no reason at all! I can post the first one too for comparisons 😊 (although, not much has changed...) Also, this is just a sketch really, not very clean or well painted by i wanted to post it like that anyway

Some explanations on the drawing itself! But for short it explains that i added more jewels, more colors in his skin, added bioluminescence, changed the beard and lenght of the hair. That's basically it.

(oh, @o3o-lapd-o3o i decided to draw this mostly because i wanted to imagine what he must be wearing for the infamous dinner 🤭 might be very different from what yourself imagined, but i hope you like it!)

The first design! I like it very much, but i wanted to add more!! This one is fully rendered too.

u mean to tell me graham is SO insecure he cant handle having ANY imperfections or flaws and HAS to be on top or else he completely loses all mental stability

AND overworks himself to the point of PASSING OUT FROM EXHAUSTION after battling the toons because hes so desperate to win

AND is so invested in hustle culture that he disregards his physical/mental health and bases a lot of his self-worth on being the best employee

AND has burnt himself out as a result (based on his disciplinary records)

YET THERES AN INSANE LACK OF GRAHAM ANGST IN THE COMMUNITY?
