#.*·ﾟ✧・CHILLIN’ LIKE A VILLAIN. — ⟨ *&. OUT OF CHARACTER. ⟩

[babieken]

I was expecting so much more from Again My Life considering lee jungi was its main character but it was such a let down...

[do-you-ship-this-comic-ship]

propaganda:

THE canon comic book couple OF ALL TIME. They are SUPERVILLAINS. they are FRENCH. They are QUEER. They are a SUPER INTELLIGENT GORILLA and A LIVING BRAIN IN A JAR. They have both died multiple times, yet have inexplicably come back with zero explanation, thereby making them canonically immune to the burry your gays trope. They have historic beef with a group of ACTUAL TEENAGERS. Oh yeah, and did I mention they are A GORILLA AND A BRAIN. They are the embodiment of how batshit insane superhero comic book lore can get in the best way possible. 

Basically, their backstory is Brain was once a human scientist who took a wild silverback gorilla and raised his IQ to 178 with the power of mad science experiments, originally planning on implanting his own brain into Mallah’s body. But seeing how intelligent Mallah became and becoming attached to him, the scientist couldn��t bring himself to go through with the experiment, instead making Mallah his lab assistant. Then the scientist gets his body burnt to a crisp in a lab “accident”, which may or may not have been orchestrated by his rival, Niles Caulder (and tbh thats probably the case considering the other shady shit The Chief’s done but that’s another can of worms entirely), and Mallah saved him by transferring his brain to a jar-like life support vessel. Thus starting the scientist now known simply as The Brain’s mission to get revenge on Caulder and take over the world, becoming an arch villain to the Chief’s team the Doom Patrol and later the Teen Titans. Mallah and Brain would pretty much be your basic henchman and villain duo for most of thier existence… UNTIL Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol run in the early 90s, where after stealing one of Doom Patrol member’s Robotman’s spare robot bodies, Brain and Mallah confesss thier love for eachother, sharing a kiss… before the robot body housing Brain explodes and kills them both.  

Don’t worry though, they got better.  

What I find most insane about Mallah and Brain, you know, apart from the fact one of them is a whole ass gorilla and the other is just a brain in a jar. And the fact Grant Morrison and other writers not only had the sheer audacity to make such a bonkers and strangely disturbing couple canon, but stick with it being so, is that fact that their relationship is… genuinely compelling??  

Like, there are so many stories where their motivation is just getting brain necessities like a new body. Because he longs to feel simple sensations again like being able to smell flowers or drink tea (and also fuck nasty with Mallah, as he deserves). And Mallah is 100% ride or die for Brain and does everything in his power to help him. From trying to break him out of a prison ship while fighting superheroes Apollo and Midnighter, to the aforementioned finding him a new body, to kidnapping an orchestra to play for Brain because the tickets to thier show were sold out and felt bad about not getting brain tickets. More often than not, especially with the body stuff, its foiled or tragically backfires, but Mallah never stops trying to give his partner a better life and make him happy. Even if it means them both being doomed in some way. It’s both bizarre yet compellingly tragic and oddly beautiful.  

Plus there are a ton of smaller moments between them, like their old married couple energy bickering, Brain venting to Mallah about how no-one in the hero or villain community takes them seriously, to them chillin’ in bed together having a philosophical debate over what kind of dancer god would be. 

 In spite of how bat shit insane their relationship is, and all the evil things they’ve done as villains, you can’t help but be endeared by them and low key kinda root for them. 

Even though in the main line comics, brain and Mallah are broken up as of the latest Unstoppable Doom Patrol run, with brain dead (thanks to Mallah betraying and murdering him) and Mallah going off to do his own thing by taking over a city with the other villainous DC apes in the Ape-ril Special one shot (which I mean tbh good for him), someone at DC seems to have as much of a soft spot for these two as much as I do. Since they’ve appeared as a couple in other recent DC continuities/adaptations, such as the Peacemaker Tires Hard miniseries and, of course, My Adventures With Superman. Which I am more than happy about.  

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why most people wouldn’t be a fan of Brain and Mallah and their ship for… several reasons. But come on man! It’s a French Gorilla and a Brain in a jar who are supervillains and madly in love! How can you stay mad at a canon queer ship that delightfully bonkers!?

HEAVY MHA MANGA SPOILERS

People: Horikoshi loves subverting expectations! How could this be what he’s written!?

Me:…You wanted the 15 year old Shonen protagonist to achieve everything he ever wanted and for everyone to make it out okay. He did subvert expectations. They just weren’t yours.

People:I like how realistic children of Endeavor acted in the end because that what happens in abusive households. You don’t have to reconnect.

Also People:I can’t believe we didn’t save the villains, some citizens don’t care, and Deku failed.

Me:Man, it’s almost like it’s realistic that a teenager with strong conviction came up short despite trying everything he possibly could against someone who never once said he wanted to change; how could a growing boy possibly not achieve perfectly going against the weight of the world?

I don’t mean to be completely insensitive but a section of this fandom really just can’t seem to balance reality with extreme optimism. (delulu) Admittedly, I’m shocked about Toga but when it comes to everyone else there really is no reason to have expected them to get any semblance of a nice ending. Bare minimum they’d all go to prison because they destabilized a country and murdered so many people. No tragic backstory is getting you out of that.

Now I will say the most recent chapter feels a little rushed to me but the overall message the show has been preaching is still communicated. They never looked away from taking the hard path; to the very end, they tried to save everyone they and they will do it again despite the risk. We even get the panels of an old lady deciding to reach out this time instead of waiting for a hero to take care of it because “The essence of being a hero is meddling where you don’t have to.” People are starting to actually look at their fellow man! That was the original complaint from the league; hero society just letting people fall through cracks without a second thought!

Everyone has a right to be mad, but you can be mad and still see the point even if it’s not point you wanted to be made.

All and all I can’t say I’m particularly mad about how most things generally went, but that’s because anything that would’ve upset me would have to come from immense character favortism/bias that muddies narratives and character traits. For example, you can’t have Izuku save Tomura and he gets some kind of decent ending, but then have Overhaul rot in prison. Touya can’t have a happy life but Endeavor is condemned forever by everyone. Doing that doesn’t make with any sort of messaging and character ideals that want to be presented. None of that happened though so I’m chillin.

As for the shippers, I don’t know what to tell ya? Welcome to your Naruto initiation? Balance your preference with what text and scenes are actually saying to see the obvious boats that will probably make it to end so you can at least brace impact next time. You can ship proudly and be fully aware your boat is sinking, or in some cases, smile snuggly because you always knew you’d make it to the finish line.

.batcrow feat. the owl.

or a situation, which is stuck somewhere between existential threat an’ scuffle between barn animals.

...

(it’s one of those underdeveloped, raw-ish concepts that i indulge in just for funzies. it all started very simply. i was thinking about what kind of person might make bruce jealous. the topic was kinda challenging, considering that bruce in the comics *at least in the ones, i read* or even btas is rarely express this emotion if at all. in fact, at one point, he literally said to the woman, who he supposedly was in love with, that she should stay with the other man, who also liked her, bc he needed her more *he got disfigured an' such* an’ she was like ‘wtf is wrong with you. to paw me to the other man like that’, clearly outraged. but bruce didn’t seem to fully grasp what her issue was lol.

still, what if he somehow got jealous of another man, when it comes to crane, anyways? and who that man could possibly be? my first thought was superman, bc bruce generally can be kinda petty, when it comes to him. but clark is such a puppy-like character. he wouldn’t have been mean about it, or even be someone who could potentially like jon in such a manner. at worst, bruce might have got annoyed at crane *not clark*, if he said smth about superman’s strong arms in front of him. some jealousy there, but not quite what i was looking for, when pondering on that set up.

an' then, i recalled the owlman! i only know the version of him from the cartoon, an’ honestly after seeing glimpses of what they do with him in comics, i’d say this is the only owlman for me. from the crisis on 2 earths ‘toon. gotta admire a character, who is SO nihilistic an’ SO sure in his own worldview, that he literally does nothing an’ dies, just bc it doesn’t matter to him. he even smiles a bit, if i remember correctly. kinda both chillin’ an’ sad. the owlman had an ego, but he also just kinda….wanted everything to die an’ that’s it. he is what might have happened, if bruce went full blown doctor strangelove, after his parents death. which is funny, bc owlman isn’t bruce wayne at all, but he is the one who ‘takes’ his place in his own universe. i don’t remember if it was ever revealed in the cartoon, who the owlman was or if they left it ambiguous. i'm pretty sure, that they made him bruce’s brother in the comics, specifically. but i might be wrong, bc there was a few owlman in batman's ran, i think...?

either way, this version here is devoid of backstory. the main thing for him is that there was never a bruce wayne in his universe, an’ coincidently enough, no jonathan crane, either. as result, owlman knows nothing about scarecrow. he had analogs of other batman’s rogue gallery, who were either heroes or anti-heroes, but he never had professor of fear of his own. an' that’s part of the reason why he gets slightly curious about him. at the begining, it's very casual on his part. i guess, he might have wondered why it's those two *jon an' bruce* specifically, who never existed in his reality. everybody else, clearly did. so he looks a bit closer into it, still mostly for the sport. only to find out about strange relationships that crane has with the bat.

the owlman is an isolated kind of character. he doesn’t care for his own teammates. nor he's able to reciprocate their affection. i mean, he didn’t really react to the villain version of wonder woman kissing him. he was surprised, sure, but not hurrying to return the gesture or even seemingly knowing what to do about this situation. which led me to believe, that at least in the frames of that toon’s worldbuilding, he had no alt alfred or robin or anyone, who he was close with. kinda an opposite of batman, who does to a degree surrenders himself with people, even if he keeps them at *emotional* distance, more often than not. but the point is, that bruce still wants a connections an’ not devoid of hope to see the things sorta/kinda working up. in comparison, owlman is as nihilistic as a person can get, so it makes zero sense for him to have close ties with anyone. or even see it smth that he needs. but i imagine that witnessing how batman acts with his enemies, jon esp, be a very confusing experience for him. like, why pity such a person? why even show some small signs of kinship with him? an' what’s so different about this one, if anything at all? 

so after some more pondering, he approaches crane just to see for himself, if he is worth all that effort *sympathy* or not. an’ hey, scarecrow is kinda fun. reactive an’ jerky, an’ surprisingly aggressive for such a coward. owlman's usual enemies are the good guys. they're heroic an' noble. but jonathan isn’t that. not even close. his worldview is bitter an' twisted. whatever wrongs were done to him, didn't mold him into a hero like with any other owlman's enemy. the scarecrow is a villain to the boot an' it's...new. his use of fear is interesting too. none of his enemies had this gimmick. this makes the owlman wanna play around with him for a bit longer. or owlman experience unknown emotions for the first time in years an’ kinda not fully certain what to do about it, other than indulge in it. his end goal still the same. it won’t change for/or bc of anything, but he can have a small distraction, before the curtains call. it's not everyday, when he can find a person, who is kinda interesting to him, even if bc of pure novelity that he can hang out with a man, who had never existed in his own timeline.

then, he learns about the scarecrow’s life. how it went downhill or rather, how it was sorta doomed from the start almost. an’ oh. here it is. that’s what batman feels too, isn't it? that silver of kinship. the owlman never had this before. an’ it’s not a bad feeling, either. he was never able to relate to the others. it’s like ‘everything sucks so much. everything just sucks forever’ an’ he has found someone who understands the meaning of this sentiment, an' not just being an emo about life. at least, the owl would assume that jon understand it in the exact same way he does *but jon doesn’t lol* 

meanwhile, bruce is concerned. owlman is a very bad, bad kind of man to have around crane for many different reasons. one of which is that it doesn't sound like a hard thing to convince someone like crane, that destroying everything is the only 'right' way to go about things. jonathan's life is generally was an' still is awful, so why not end it all, but with a huge, literal bang?

it’s like a nihilistic doom an’ gloomy buddy club. sounds hella corky, but in reality, it’s dark stuff, actually. jon be beyond depressed in this case. him getting all buddy-buddy with people, who are more unhinged an’ dangerous than him isn’t a new thing. but in this case, it’s like an extra salt on batman’s open wound. the bat himself states in comics at least twice, how crane is one of those villains, who don’t just stay the same, but who progressively gets more an’ more insane an’ deranged each time he breaks out of arkham. him hanging out with the person, whose worldview is basically ‘it would have been so much better, if we all were dead’ an' who literally an' genunily means this, isn’t smth that is good for jonathan's *already declined* mental health. esp if owlman is also rather problematic in other ways too. not to meantion, that him dragging crane along is also kinda personal. in this way, he might be showing bruce, that no matter how much he wants his rogues to change or how much good will he shows them, they're all just human, therefore they're all hopeless an' bad. bc all humas are bad in owlman's understanding. it's like 'aw, you want to believe that this one isn't a lost cause? what if i will make him help me to murder everybody? still think he worthy of your delusions?' owlman might have an end goal, but he's also arrogant an' petty too.

on main, i have two rough-ish concepts for their uhhh, trio shippy thing. in PG-ish version, it’s just that owlman influencing jon in an awful ways, an’ since he kinda/sorta resembles batman, crane subconsciously rely on him, bc he's somewhat familiar. besides, the owl hints that his own life was bad too, an’ it’s like finally someone gets on the same level of despair as crane does. an' also, maybe...this what could have been, if the bat was a villain too. they could have been on the same team. so in a way, it's kinda more of jonathan playing into this weird fantasy of himself an' bad batman, than him fully understanding the real level of 'oof' that owlman tries to acomplish with 'the plan'.

*funny enough tho, where it really counts, jon isn’t like owlman. he, for one isn’t someone who would just give up. after every fail an’ each kick an’ shove, he still gets up. the thing about jonathan is that he wouldn’t just lie down an’ die no matter how much pain an' humilation an' despair, he felt. an’ he also wouldn’t *in the end* commit to the idea of murdering countless people just bc his life sucked. even if, it doesn’t mean, that he won’t go through motions an’ nearly, truly consider going along with it. he isn’t alright in the head, an’ his negative emotions tend to get the best of him. still, i feel like most versions of jonathan would in the end, decide that no, it's not what he wants or ready to take responsibility for.*

it all would resolve in comic book fashion, where jon would help the bat in the end, an’ not that other man, who had his allure an’ had almost seduced crane into doing one last evil act any human being in existence could have ever done. still, there always be longing on scarecrow’s part for this odd, wrong ‘batman’, even if he sticks with his own, regardless. 

*an’ yeah, the bat is kinda jealous throughout all of this lol. the world can be hanging by a thread, but no one said, that he cannot be a tad possessive, while he’s saving it *an’ crane* too. owlman will have fun with this knowledge, while it will go completely over jonathan’s head. mister ‘i can pin-point everyone’s fear from one conversation’ would have a really hard time understanding that batman’s beef with the owl not strictly hero vs villain thing*

then, in more mature version, it's kinda the same-ish plot, but owlman prob would do way more messed up things, which might put crane into a position, where he’s afraid to not comply, but also not actually willing to do it. an’ naturally, there bruce won’t be jealous, more so angry. really struggling with idea, if he should let just this one man *or an owl, whichever rings more true* die. an’ then, if this is a reflection of him, what kind of person, he really is. so it’s more of moral dilemma an’ a character study of a nihilistic sociopath, who just might have wanted to have a lil chew-toy, as he prepares his biggest scheme.

anyways, it’s not like an otp3 or anything. i’m a very bond/pair oriented fella. so when i’m dabbing into 3 way dynamics, it usually has more situational/reactive undertones. but i won't deny, that it’s fun to think about 'what if' or even about some situation in the void, where the bat an’ the owl double teame the crow. which in any plot-included or a somewhat coherent narrative just wouldn’t have happened bc of how all 3 of them function / react to things. it just not in their character to do it this...randomly. but if i will ever make a superhero pwp ficlet collection, i might try to do smth with this idea.)

[shower-phantom-ideas]

Bruh yall fam I love Danny Phantom crossovers

Like hes so easy to plop in other universes

The idea hes in Miraculous Ladybug and gets akumatized and just talks to hawkmoth. Dudes stuck with this 14-16year old kid cause the bug wont/can’t get out. Kid please im trying to work stfu. Ok yes yes my fault for trying to use you in my evil plot hut it’s 4 am and I have a big meeting in the morning. Kinda shit. That or Ladybug thinks hes an akuma when hes Phantom snd doesn’t trust shit he has to say.

Mcu? Hawkeye getting another kid. Ironman finding out parenting is easy wtf is wrong with people. Captain America finding out parenting is hard someone help him. Bucky just chillin. Thor throwin hands. Loki 🤝 Danny

Fnaf? Dudes a dope security guard and befriends all the animatronics. Or hes just a dead kid haunting the place who befriends the DCA. Who probably don’t like him at first cause hes a dirty rule breaker. But a kids a kid man.

Saiki K? Do yall think Danny could clock Saiki? 20$ says Danny head empty so Saiki thinks hes either like him or like Nenduo and avoids him either way.

RWBY? Ozpin son and defence squad. Too easy next.

Soul Eater? Hell yes fuck yes. Bruh don’t need no one and is topping the charts as worst student ever cause he aint collecting one soul. Helping those fuckers move on. Oh now hes expelled.

Wtf (souls arent the same here danny smh you are starving some poor kids probably idk I have t seen the show in ages)

Honestly idk how I would put him in SAO? He would just win?

Psych? Yea hes called in a tip and everyone is sus about him like with how they are about Shawn. So fuck it. Plays it up. Holy shit a ghost!

STONE COLD.

➳ request: Hello! Can I ask for Tamaki, Shoto, Katsuki and Izuku with an s/o with a Medusa-type Quirk and who's parents are ex-villains? Thank you very much!

➳ character/s: amajiki tamaki, todoroki shouto, bakugou katsuki, midoriya izuku

➳ warnings: swearing, mentions of kidnapping (bakugou), mentions of assault (physical), mentions of injury

➳ notes: awww this actually turned out really cute, thanks for the requestt

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 / 𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭

──  𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐈𝐊𝐈 𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈.

you scare him at the start

because ex-villain parents

and you got snakes for hair

but once he gets past all of that and sees you don’t reflect your parents behaviour much

he’s glued to you

don’t try to get rid of him, you’ll make him sad

every time you ate lunch with him, he would feed your snakes

while you’re dating, tamaki can’t help but feel sad that he can never see your eyes

cause you’re always wearing sunglasses or a blindfold

and it does bother him to no end, because he struggles to make eye contact with people

so that means that eye contact is extremely intimate for him

but he’ll never get to engage in such intimacy with you because he’ll be turned to stone ;v;

it’s ok, that’s why most people kiss with their eyes closed

DUH

he’ll give you all the kisses in private because he’s a lil touch starved

any bullies will get a tentacle slap

and a >:((( from tamaki

sometimes while tamaki is trying to talk to you, he gets distracted by a snake and then it becomes a conversation between the 3 of you

──  𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐈 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐎.

if it weren’t for the ex-villain parents

he’d be fine

he doesn’t care about the snake hair as much

you quickly proved yourself worthy though

and he just slurps soba while watching you from across the dorms

looks away when a snake stares at him in return

in a way it’s kinda good because i don’t think he can handle the embarrassment of you being the one to catch him

gatekeeps you from ENDEAVOR

you’re gonna get cancelled by him if he ever finds out n he’s not for that

he will use daddy’s money to get you new sunglasses though

sometimes he gets a sneak peak at your eyes from the side

but he’s not willing to test that any further and possibly get stoned for eternity

once y’all went on a crane game date at the arcade

and he found a snake plush that looked exactly like the snakes on your head

and he got 2

1 for him, 1 for you

he cuddles it when he can’t cuddle you instead

he also buys you guys matching sunnies

──  𝐁𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐆𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐈.

ICKY

he want nothin to do with VILLAINS

spits on your shoe (in his head)

eventually you get into his close social circle

don’t point out his silent arguments with your snakes

those facial expression conversations from his seat behind you

aizawa is giving him weird looks because wtf is he doing

bakugou reluctantly very eagerly makes food for your snakes as well as yourself

OK, AS MUCH AS HE LOVES YOU

he does do a background check on your parents and isn’t very impressed-

however, once you told him that it meant that if you ever got kidnapped or beaten up severely

they have CONNECTIONS

only then was bakugou somewhat ok with it

he’s still super protective of you though since you might’ve accidentally ended up on some mafia boss’ bad side through association

even if you can take your sunglasses off and just make them a statue on the spot

sometimes in the mornings if you’ve spent the night together

your snakes boop him with their snoots to wake him up

BUT EVEN YOU’RE NOT AWAKE YET??

──  𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐘𝐀 𝐈𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐔.

apprehensive at the start but otherwise chillin

not sure what you’re like because parents are a lil sketch

but he probably gave you the benefit of the doubt first

wrote a whole ass notes page for you

naturally

found that you were far from your parents through asking about your quirk

but he is a massive nerd

and he needs to know stuff about your past

so he found old news articles about your parents-

um

bit concerning with some of the stuff they’ve done such as physical assault on multiple people

but since they’re retired, he’s a lil less worried

he totally comes up with merch ideas for you

even though you’re still in high school

and CUDDLES

he might get a face full of snakes

but that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make

he gets kisses from them either way so is there really a sacrifice?

the from ice to water series by Drhair76, plantform — [12 works, 157k words] The main fic is icing those hurts, but my personal favorite is hailing on you. An ice skating au fic centered around found family and belonging in a place without harm. In the main fic, Tommy gets healed, but in hailing on you, Wilbur gets healed and it's so sweet <3

holding onto nothing by remrose -- [20/20, 71k] A mainly Techno pov fic, twinsduo centric. adhd and autistic techno, and his mom is a bitch. He goes to the Crafts for help and it's terribly sweet but also pretty angsty. At times this fic has literally been my lifeblood, like my support system in keeping me alive. I love it so much.

My Faithless Hoax by phantom_star739 -- [24/24, 105k] A supernatural? (fae, vampire, siren) crimeboys centric fic with mild political aspects. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's amazing.

Fic recs part 2!

[epickiya722]

4, 10, 15, 20 for the Descendants asks

4. Favorite song?

Oh my gosh, another three-way tie! It's "What's My Name", "Chillin' Like a Villain" and "Queen of Mean" for me. Those are my top three faves. But "What's My Name" gets extra points because it's the one song my little brother and I sing to when we watch the second movie.

10. Least favorite Auradon Kid?

I gotta say Chad for this one. I don't even completely hate him, I just hate how he was written from the second movie and beyond. Easily could have made him a lovable idiot that got character development! Come on! Just threw that out the window after the first movie!

15. Favorite ship? (Including non-canon and canon ships.)

I don't care what anybody says, Huma is canon to me! Their scenes are always good chemistry. I also like Audrey/Uma a lot.

20. What's something you wish could have happen?

I was gonna say a character for here, but then I remembered the deleted scenes they had for D3 and one I wished they added was when Jay and Carlos have this nice, cute talk about Jay going to college and the Smee Twins were there and it ends with Carlos having to penguin walk back to the house since the boys were hanging off him (relate to that as a big sister).

It was such a heartwarming scene! Like I wanted my boys to have a moment!!

Out of all frequently occuring memes on the channel, its arguable that We Are Number One (typically shortened to "WANO") is one of the most perfectly refined on the channel. In my posts on Chillin’ Like A Villain and The expanse of meme in past was split, A fiendish trap has now been set; Behind a tree the villains sit, Terror of sport, the Robbie's Net., I elaborated on just how that quality has come to be: the people behind the original LazyTown song provided the public will full access to its original stems, which led to a huge uptick in quality. The bar of quality has become so high for WANO rips on SiIvaGunner to where each new one feels worthy of celebration, its always executed just so perfectly. Even with that, We Are Number 4 (Golden) sits with me as one of the most fun examples in the channel's history.

The concept is simple and immediately understandable - arranging Time To Make History from Persona 4 Golden into We Are Number One's silly ska-like musical style and instrumentation. Both songs are so infectiously gleeful and its a near perfect mesh from the get-go, but like a lot of my other favorite rips on the channel, the real sell comes in the details. Details of the original song are given flourishes that fit the context of a Persona game throughout its runtime, like replacing "Superhero" with "SuPERSONA", or the springy net-toss sound from the original being replaced by the sound of a character receiving lowered stats. It rounds the song out in such fun ways and almost makes it sound as if the Robbie Rotten party are actually in a Persona 4 dungeon fighting - which makes the idea of this being their battle theme even funnier.

That's of course not to say that its a rip sold purely on its details - the instrumentation's usage in replicating the original Time To Make History is simply perfect, and the slight pitch changes in Robbie's vocal performance work to still maintain the original song's tone. The song's climax in particular is immensely satisfying - Robbie's vocals gradually climb in pitch with deliberate pauses inbetween them specifically done to imitate the original song, and yet it doesn't come off as artificial in the slightest - its a damn seamless effort for being so noticeably different from the original vocal performance.

So: to Nutella French Toast, and to everyone else who keep the WANO spirit alive with rips all at this quality - you're absolute titans of the SiIvaGunner team and I personally cherish every single new WANO rip more than the last.

I was rewatching all three movies of Disney’s Descendants after not seeing it in a few years and I thought about this random headcanon about Mal.

BEFORE I GET INTO THAT

First movie—LOVED IT, reminded me of why I liked it when I was younger.

Second movie—Probably my favorite out of all three. Shrimpy… I mean, Uma, is my favorite character. I also like the idea of the reformed bad guy wanting to be bad again. ALSO THE MUSIC WAS PHENOMENAL. “Ways to Be Wicked” “What’s My Name?” “Chillin’ Like A Villain” and “It’s Going Down” HIT DIFFERENT.

Third movie—I liked it, not as much as the second, but it was pretty good. I’m a sucker for good guy gone bad!!! Also “Queen of Mean” was the best song. SUE ME.

Okay, so, headcanon…

After the second movie, whenever Mal’s really happy, or angry, or sad, she’ll turn into her dragon form and it takes a few minutes to a few HOURS until she turns back. Evie becomes her caretaker when she’s like this, if Evie isn’t available, probably busy with outfits and such, then Ben will take care of her. If both of them are too busy, then Jay AND Carlos will watch her.

Before the third movie, Mal figures out how to control her emotions and change back and forth between forms at will.

Some people have said that the time between the second and third movie is like two weeks, that’s really hard to believe (for me at least), but others have said one year which makes a bit more sense.

So far I've mostly just seen your Tails on display, so I gotta say that's why I followed, but man I gotta gush about how the way you write him is so unbelievably killer. That older portrayal you've got going on is so good, I adore how chill he is. One moment that stood out to me was a post where he was basically like "yeah i recreationally smoke weed, it helps me chill out and get more sleep. what's so crazy about that." and I was so instantly like. Oh yeah, this Tails is good.

You can really see that he's leveled out and come into his own over time. But he still has snark and attitude when it's time to defend against someone or something brushing up against him in a way uncomfortable to him, he hasn't lost any edge. It's only gotten more honed as he's gotten older and gained more confidence. He's so undeniably himself! I legitimately love it!

Haven't been following you long and I'm already beyond thrilled to see you on my dash every time you post. Waggles two big thumbs up.

@skyfcx // Why u here tho-

NOW YOU WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE THERE BUCKO!! THIS IS SO FUCKING NICE? WHAT?? HOW'D YOU CLOCK THAT MUCH ARE YOU IN MY NOGGIN OR SOMETHING??

FR THOUGH, I've been thinking about Tails as he grows up for some time now, and Tails has been my favorite since I was like 12-13?? So I've always had my feelings on him and how much potential he has as a person. Dude was beyond college level smart at Eight Years Old. But at the same time, he was still a kid. So of course his intelligence doesn't mean he's perfect at everything. And on top of that, being a child of war so to speak, thats gotta leave you with some lasting effects, hence the insomnia.

He's not perfect, he knows that. And mostly accepts that. He gets jealous. He gets rough and out of hand. He has his highs and lows just like anyone else. He won't pretend like he's on some mighty high horse about useless things like drugs or petty brawls. However he still has a strong sense of justice when it comes to the distruction of other people's lives that didn't deserve it. (Sonic's cocky nature also rubbed off on him which is both hilarious and awful depending on the situation LMAO)

I take a lot of inspo on this from Steven Universe: Future, because I always think about how realistically, the hero should not just be chillin after so many near death experiences. And seeing the Post-'Good Ending' thing where Steven basically had to relearn who he was outside of saving the world/galaxy was like my favorite thing.

I applied this to Tails with my own spin on it. Like he's generally understanding of his situation, regardless of how unfair it really is. And while I haven't touched on it yet, he did have to come to terms with Sonic's methods of dealing with villains. Long story short, he's not always a fan, but he understands why, and does not want to change that, because that would mean changing Sonic as a whole, and thats not for him to decide.

BUT UH THIS IS GETTING LONG!! I HOPE YOU KNOW THE ADMIRATION IS RETURNED 100% BECAUSE I LOVE HOW YOU WRITE TAILS!! It's so spot on for his character and how he thinks, I love it sm.

I'm so excited for Knives. Him appearing so early on means he's finally gonna get back the screentime he was so fervently denied in the 98 anime. God knows what he could be planning with Vash's "gate" and what his actual goals are in the grand scheme of things, could align with the manga, could be it's own thing. I love the old anime and manga, truly, but wasn't impressed by a main villain who sat on his ass for the whole story and just sent in a bunch of goons nonstop to deter Vash. Give me an active threat! Who isn't afraid to get his own hands dirty (or feet bloody, in this case :P). Their relationship, the twin's interpersonal conflict started this whole story, it's about time it takes center stage!

Hello hello, I'm glad to hear you are stoked for whatever Knives has in store in Stampede. Since it is clear this is a complete re-imagining of things, it is really difficult to guess at this point where he's going with his goals. Well, other than that he wants to activate Vash's gate and make things go boom.

I find myself missing Legato, I always had a soft spot in my heart for him, since he was the villain who was the obviously twisted one. Meanwhile, Knives was just chillin' in a light bulb for most of the anime. He clearly is more active in this version but hopefully we get a solid motivation for him. I know the anime was weak, people took it at face value and were like 'a drunk guy insulted you so you commit murder' when really the flashback really implied they heard a lot more questionable comments from the crew members. But I agree with you - they want to highlight the sibling conflict as a major point of this series. Which in the anime was low key and came to fruition quite late in the manga. Maybe Vash will get kidnapped by Knives like in the manga and have to be rescued?

Then again, Knives was a typical hands off kind of bad guy so he did check the trope that was quite popular in the 90s. I'm the big bad guy, underlings go forth and do my dirty work. I guess it made a lot of sense since the manga only made it up to the point where it was revealed he needed to be resurrected by consuming(?)/birthing himself from(?) a plant to regain his energy when they all met at the church. They didn't have enough to go on, so have him be hands off?

I'm glad you are excited by his more engaging role in the plot; I'm just always grossed out when anime/manga characters touch blood with bare skin. It isn't just a thing with Trigun Stampede, just all weird blood scenes aren't my vibe.

We'll see what happens next and if this turns out to be a 12-13 episode run or not. They need to have Legato, Livio and Elendira show up based on VA casting and the previews - which I'm guessing also means Chapel and the puppet master Leonof based on some of the vulture like birds in episode 1. I'm also holding out hope that Midvalley comes but we'll see.

I'm just really surprised that Legato wasn't a part of Knives advance guard. We'll have to watch and see how things unfurl.

[proshippresentmic]

Pinned info time

Call me Mic I guess, about 30 years old, he/they or similar.

I have a deep resentment for the terms profic and proship, but it scares kidders and sensitive catholic guilters away, so it's in my url.

I don't care what someone writes in fiction so long as they're a decent person to the real world. If you disagree then politely go back to your cesspit, I have no time for radfems and protofascist babies.

This account is for seeking/responding to RP ads, because I realized a lot of the seeking blogs here required an account for "liking to reach out", rather than just dropping a discord.

I use my discord account tag presentationmicheal for RP purposes, for the time being I'm ok with random friend requests, but I'm also a grouchy old man and if your vibes are rancid you're gone.

Goes without saying but 18+ partners only. Honestly preferably 21+

Under the cut is my general RP info!

Extremely very horrendously gay so I won't be interested in MxF, also extremely very horrendously trans so expect most if not all of my muses to come with pussy DLC.

Currently I'm only super into writing My Hero Academia (manga reader!).

Muses

---

Dabi / Touya Todoroki - primary muse, snarkastic piece of shit, I do not pull punches with him nor will I write him being a doting husband, or other out of character extremes.

Even in AUs where, somehow, Enji was an alright father, my Touya ends up a serial killer.

That said I can reel him in a little, but he will come with "canon typical asshole" warning either way.

No hard pref on whether he's got a cock or cunt.

---

Katsuki Bakugou - not 100% confident with him, but getting there. Always written at least 20 years old, UA was a college to me, what of it.

Again, canon typical asshole.

Primarily play him trans, but I can be convinced to play him otherwise.

---

Present Mic - Pretty sure I could write this cringelord in my sleep at this point. Nothing special about him, he's chillin'.

Slight preference for him having cock n balls, but I'll write him otherwise more than happily.

---

Currently on track learning Hawks, Aizawa, Enji and Natsuo. Unsure when I'll be confident enough.

---

Kinks, Limits n Shippy shite

Shit that I love: Omegaverse, hybrid AUs, height differences, enemies to lovers, biting/scratching, piss, petplay, dom/sub, ponyplay, bondage, muzzles. interrogations/captured be heroes or villains, male pregnancy (pussy preferable, but can deal with otherwise), public sex, heat/rut, aphrodisiacs, intercrural, mirrors... honestly most kinks not listed in limits/meh do something for me.

Dead dove edition: Incest, noncon, abduction, torture, guro/snuff, fuck-or-die, fuck-AND-die, human pet, meditorture, more I've probably forgotten.

Hard limits: Characters under 18, feet, scat/gas in general, mental institutions, ABDL/Ageplay, raceplay. I may have forgotten something, so this will probably update later.

Honorable mention: 'daddy' kink makes my skin crawl, but if your pitch is interesting I can tolerate it.

Meh: Vore, hyper, inflation. I hate calling them "Deviantart Kinks" but that does end up a good descriptor. I am into a couple of these but not for canons, can't explain it just don't like it.

Ships I'm primarily interested in:

Dabihawks, Dabiskep, Todocest of many flavors, Dabizawa, Dabibaku, Bakudeku, Kiribaku, Todobaku, Endhawks, Erasermic, Mightmic, Erasermight, Dabishigs.

Open to others (and I love a good crackship).

(I'm willing to break out my not-quite-confident guys for some of these, just forgive any fumbles.)

Misc shit

I'm of the opinion the characters would have fouler language were this manga higher rated, so expect my guys to drop a couple harsh words here and there. If you're offended by the word 'fuck', we won't get along.

I've got no hard pref for positions, I'll write them all.

Response times vary from "100 responses a minute" and "once every couple days" depending on how much work I have on. If I'm slacking and not responding every three days though, time to whallop me with the cartoon mallet.

I'm a grown ass man with an honesty clause. I will be upfront if I've fallen out of love with a thread, and if I feel up for coming back to it later. I expect the same of you, please.

My active hours are somewhat random and work dependent, and can sometimes be entirely flipped in a couple days.

RP through Discord only. We can make a server!

Third person paralit, 2 paragraphs minimum, no need to match my length if I go off the rails!

I really, really, really love headcanoning/"what-if"s/spitballing. This doesn't always have to become a thread, I really dig discussing what could have happened with current threads if XYZ was different, this isn't a wistful sigh wishing things were different. I'm going to be talkative OOC, you will get memes if they're relavant to what we're doing - or if I figure you'd just like em, I am not going to treat you like an RP token machine.

I don't expect that much legwork in return, but please at least be willing to do dumb spitballing OOC a little.

[soupbabe]

Hi there!!! <3

I want a matchup if that's alright! For jojo's ofc <3 (any part is fine)

I'm straight and my pronouns are she/her (so a preferred male character to be matched with)

I am 18 years old! I love writing and reading! I also LOVE fashion. Dressing up is always really fun for me so sometimes I look like an over the top video game villain or sometimes I look like a character out of Jet Set Radio lmfao. I can play a couple of instruments (guitar and uke) and I'm pretty good at singing (was always in good choirs and loved being in musicals). I have red hair and wear glasses. I'm a lil thicc in the best ways <3 my zodiac sign is cancer as well.

I think I'm pretty funny and fun to be around and LOVE talking, so I would love someone who loves talking just as much as me to stay social and chatty lol. I love just chillin and watching anime and also going out for walks. Both introverted and extroverted depending on the day lol

I hope this all works! Have a lovely day and stay hydrated! <333

I match you with,,,

Joseph Joestar ♡

There's no one as chatty and loving as Joseph Joestar! Your personalities blend together so well, I can see you two as one extroverted and dramatic couple ever <3! He adores the way you dress, I think he'd always want you to give him smaller makeovers! Put him in a dress and he's living in it, sorry not sorry that's his now.

While it may take some persuasion, I think you could get him to love staying inside and spending time with you. He can't do what he's told for the life of him, but promise him you'll serande him and you have his full attention! He thinks your music is wonderful, absolutely your number 1 fan <3

[auradon-bore-a-don]

1-6 descendants questions?

Thank you for the ask! I apologize for taking so long to answer.

1. Favorite entry of the series overall? (Yes, including the books, cartoon, etc.)

My favorite would probably be D2 for the fact that it introduces the Sea Three, and Chillin Like A Villain (my fav song).

2. Favorite movie?

While D2 is my favorite entry of the series, D1 would have to be my favorite movie as it is the best written, and is the reason I fell in love with Descendants.

3. Least favorite movie?

D3. There are some serious bops, and I love all the Huma moments, but the fact that it's basically the Mal show, forgoing all the other characters, made her Hades' daughter, and had the Core 4 running back to the Isle, it's got to be my least liked.

4. Favorite song?

This is a very hard pick, but it's probably a tie between Chillin' Like A Villain, What's My Name, and Evil (from Wicked World)

5. Least favorite song?

My Once Upon A Time, it's catchy out of context but I within the context of canon I do not like it.

6. Favorite dance sequence?

The dancing for What's My Name. It's so cool!
