The problem with a lot of traffic life interpretations in my opinion is they don't understand character foils or don't employ them in their writing. Grian-Martyn and Scar-Ren are genuinely pretty good character foils for a series that is not really scripted or planned out like a book is. I could go on and on about how they parallel each other and the similarities between them. Even the smaller details between the four usually match up

leaving the rant in the tags so I don't have a huge block of text again ueueue

naruto as a whole is a fucking mess and i say thisas somebody whos read the entireseries 3 times over. “naruto is going to change the system! haha teehee never mind hes not doing anytning about the child soldiers and slave castes and the genocides.” “sasuke can be upset at his brother for committing a genocide but actually genocide against an oppressed bloodline is good if theyre getting uppity and its sanctioned by the government and also have a genetic predisposition to be evil so he should just get over it and be okay with it” “sakura needs to stop obsessing over a guy whos not even interested and become strong for her own sake. actually shes a housewife now”

kishimoto im going to blow you up with my mind

YOU GET IT

For real though I think what they did with Sasuke's arc was one of the most baffling fucking things I've ever seen. "Actually. Your brother who carried out a genocide loved you :( he only put you in the Torment Nexus for several days because uhhh he wanted you to hate him and not find out about the government who ordered it. Everything he ever did was actually to protect you. And Uchihas are actually kinda rotten anyway so it's good an entire GROUP OF PEOPLE died. Don't think about any babies or children who were also slaughtered btw uhh nope all of them were bad."

Sasuke: "Yes I understand. I will now rule the world through fear. Actually nvm Naruto won our fight so, my philosophy is gone now."

Thank goodness that Evil Sasuke killed the three Bad Government Officials before that point, though. We had this whole theme going about toxic structures, cycles of abuse, and how oppressive regimes can propagate themselves even when a leader is well-meaning... but, like, Naruto REALLY wants to be Hokage, so actually if you just kill these Three Bad Governors it's gonna be fine.

There is no need for systemic change. Slave castes and child soldiers are fine. It's ok as long as the president is blonde :)

Magnificent Century Rewatch: One Picspam per Episode

Episode 17: The Double Joy

-My dear mother used to say "walk barefoot on earth and it shall take away all your troubles and sorrows, earth shall give you happiness and joy"

-Your mother spoke well, one can only find peace in earth. But I'm not sure if it is on earth or in it.

with my phantom hourglass replay, there are two things i noticed;

a possible theme you could glean from the game is action vs inaction, and i think it's especially prevalent before you even leave mercay the first time, with oshus frequently urging link to not go after the ghost ship, then to just wait until the broken bridge is fixed, and seems reluctant at every turn while link and ciela are more than eager to go and do something about this problem, and the people of mercay in general talking about things and their problems but never seeming to act on their fears or desires, as well as the mention that due to the ghost ship, very very few people are still sailing around, while linebeck is one of the only people we see in the game actively going after the ghost ship and still sailing around. i might make a longer post just talking more about the action vs inaction in phantom hourglass but i just noticed it a bit and thought it was a bit of an interesting sort of theme you could find in the game.

linebeck moves so fucking much. i think he moves more than any npc in the rest of the game. not just in his intro cutscene where he is very animated, just in how much he moves when just standing in his little idle post, it's damn near distracting when the camera is focused on him, he moves a lot. i don't think i've really acknowledged how much he moves, and it really gives the impression that he's antsy or eager to get going, both of which fit him pretty well with how he acts.

I need you to tell me all about Project Cannibalism actually

Okay! So I have like 10 pages of worldbuilding just for this project, so if you wanna know something more specific, feel free to send me another ask!

Project Cannibalism is currently still in the planning stages.

The story takes place in Suya, a theocracy dedicated to cult of Suyo, a cthonic earth goddess, ruled by hereditary priestesses. Suyo was founded by exiles from the lowlands, banished to the steppe where most of them were killed by the harsher conditions at higher elevations, or by the nomads that lived on the steppe.

All living creatures have some kind of magic inside of them. Life itself is an energy that can be bent towards magical working. Usually this is expressed through alchemy- creating effects by brewing potions and later, by runesmithing. It can be a labor intensive process and biomes with more biodiversity have more options when it comes to alchemy. It is a useful technology that underpins most the engineering accomplishments on the peninsula.

The exiles discovered a way to use the magic of human life, amplifying another's energy through their own bodies to do bigger magic, bypassing the need for the process of alchemy. Other creatures can serve as batteries, but the closer the battery is to human, the more efficient the process. It is with this magic that they created arable land out of the rocky steppe and drove away the nomads.

You couldn't light a candle with the life of a cockroach, but with a another human, you can break up boulders, divert rivers, raise shelters, and only take a few years off of their lifespan.

The story for Project Cannibalism centers on a pair of identical twins, separated by birth. One raised in the temple of Suyo as a talented priestess, the other a genius alchemist that has run out of luck and time and realizes they have an uncanny resemblance to the up and coming priestess.... However, they find themself with more than they can chew, as the aging queen priestess and her heir are at odds with each other, and their twin is being groomed to possibly replace the crown priestess.

retribution

(+ one more under the cut)

I’ve seen this before!

the only time Recall is used onscreen, in Ganondorf’s sight, is when his first attempt to kill Sonia was stopped or reversed by Recall. but he killed her anyway. we know that.

it’s unlikely that he never saw any other usage of Recall, especially not during the fight when Zelda would have been using it as her main power. but why wouldn’t he have thought of that one moment then, when he was aiming to kill Rauru just like he killed Sonia? he would have thought it was going to go the same way here — they would try and fail, and he would come out on top. but he was overconfident, he was powerful. he was arrogant. and it didn’t.

that whole conversation about india was so charged. john fellating the microphone? i don't know why everyone asks what happened in india it's pretty obvious. i think the more pertinent question is why didn't it keep happening.

[candyriku]

finally getting a chance to work on chapter 15 today :-)

[jedi-bird]

Had to empty the giant box into three bags to get it upstairs because it was too heavy for me to lift. The funniest part is that I was the one who packed it and moved it twice originally. I'm put about seventy percent of it away and just need to finish sorting out the beads and buttons that were in it as well as the patterns.

Sorted through the trims and tapes my grandma had in her sewing table and found some interesting vintage ones. I don't know what I'll do with some of them but it'll be a fun challenge to figure it out eventually.

[nexus-nebulae]

it took. so many weeks but i Finally managed to collect all the major terrain things i wanted for my campsite in pocket camp and im Very happy i love my little garden corner

[sawvhs]

loool hi you dont have to respond to this but i just wanted to answer ur questions in ur tags ^_^ i like to think its a small world and daniel and adam have bumped into each other kinda like amanda and he promoted wotg to daniel. so he checks it out but he kinda just goes for adam cuz i think they kinda become buddies after that. he was prob forced into getting merch by one of scotts bandmates tbh LOL. just fun to think about and then it makes it possible to think of apprentice adam and daniel interactions <delusionalism. but yeah loool i love making shit up about daniel hes so fun(heart hands emoji)

AH yeah thats totally the train of thought i was going down thinking daniel must have found out about them from a flier or soemthing.. Daniel being an honorary ‘sorry we killed your bastard cop dad’ member of the jigsaw squad is so fun to me esp in silly adam lives scenarios so i love that..

(sorry about the tag dump oops)

[puppy-the-mask]

I tried drawing the ladies in the lmk style! Kinda, I just used my imagination instead of references tbh so it's more a mix of my style and lego. I also finally drew a human disguise for Connie! It's really leaning into the 'Little Sister' role with this form, they're so cute <3 The alt version includes Connie with Greener skin because I couldn't decide exactly how green I wanted them, I also hid the eye-shines to show off their eyes better. I want them to look normal at first glance but something about them is off, Like the inverse of the Mayor- they look a bit off but their personality and behavior is fine enough to keep suspicions down. Fiddle also has her shackles in the alt version besides being purple

[dbphantom]

Hmmm lungs and throat pain. Don't like that.

[thattoxicshipper]

Consider.

After a while, he gets bored of doing these things on his own, or with just him and Dani.

So…

He brings in all his other friends!

Tucker is Pharaoh, an expert hacker that hacks and codes circles around Oracle and Cyborg. He’s also an the avatar for the Egyptian Gods and a reincarnated Egyptian demigod who can cast magic on par with Dr.Fate and Klarion.

His evil deeds include computer viruses that absolutely bug out systems but only destroy truly malicious information and minor luck curses on people who he feels deserve good or bad things!

Sam is Nightshade, a vocal activist and slight eco terrorist. I’m a sucker for Sam getting plant powers from Undergrowth. Maybe Danny dropped her off with Poison Ivy when he first brought her with him, and she learned a couple new things, like growing plants that are extinct in their dimension.

Her villainous behavior is destroying slaughter houses and freeing animals from cruelty and captivity. She also viciously tears into organizations that purposely ruin environmental health. This often has her branded as the second most dangerous. She also makes community gardens for the lower class and the homeless and creates little shelters out of bushes or trees.

Valerie (because Val knows in this universe, because I’m also a sucker for that) either took a page out of Danny’s book and goes by Gray, or maybe goes by Rage or something. Either way, she’s a combatist and martial artist on level with the Bats, and she lets people know it. She’s considered the most dangerous.

Val’s misdemeanors are generally beating the shit out of people, like criminals, abusers of children, abusers of power, and the occasional rapist she can get her hands on. She steals great sums of money from rich assholes to donate to charities and organizations that support a good cause. She finds jobs for struggling families and gets them interviews.

I like the idea of Dani working with Danny. They can be Fenton and Fenton, or maybe Fenton and Nightingale, because Danny’s family’s full last name is FentonNightingale.

Dani’s record is just light thieving of things rich assholes don’t need that she can give to people, or things that can be returned to their original owners for a reward, and she gives them to the homeless. Donates a lot of money and supplies to homeless shelters, too. Where she got those last things is not something she’s going to tell you!

(she stole them from Vlad)

Maybe Jazz, maybe as Bo (like Bo-staff), or Dr.Fenton, or Analysis, comes through sometimes. The first time was to yell at everyone else for running off without telling her and making her worry. Maybe she fires a bazooka to get people’s attention. This is probably where the heroes realize the crazy/ gremlin/imp like behavior is a family thing.

From there though, she occasionally comes through to aid in Danny and Dani’s escapades. She likes to Psychoanalyze heroes and villains alike, the Gotham Rouges and vigilantes are her favorite. She doesn’t do the Red Hood, though, because she likes to flirt with him and make him flustered. She steals his helmet for the singular purpose of seeing him blush when she flirts. She also tells him she knows who he is out of costume. Like, she followed him home once because she was interested in talking to him. And just saw. And maybe he likes her too, but can’t communicate this with words or actions outside of seeking her out and staying around her when he could leave, because he’s a Bat, The Bat’s don’t do communication.

Clockwork sees how stressed Danny is from trying to be the goodest boy and never do anything remotely bad that could turn him evil and thinks he may have overdone it. At this rate his panic over never doing anything evil is going to force him to emotionally burn out and stop caring. Then he'll turn evil anyway.

So Clocky does something that sounds completely ridiculous in theory. He scoops Danny up and drops him into a universe full of superheros and villains and tells him to "Do whatever you want. There will be no consequences for you." Then he leaves.

And just like that, Danny goes apeshit. He decides to do the one thing he always wanted to do but was too afraid to because he didn't want to be judged, or worse, forced to join his parents.

He becomes a supervillian. Not as Phantom, no. But as Fenton! He goes full super genius mad scientist and terrorizes whatever city he's in. The local superhero is being driven insane as Danny builds death rays, shrink rays, his own modified version of the GAV, ect.

The best part if that the local heros can never catch him for long and when he is caught he always escapes before he is transported to whatever facility they wanted him in. He always ends up back in his home dimension where he goes back to acting normal and no one from either human dimension or the Infinite Realms knows what he's up to (except the stop watch of course)

After a particularly fun day in which Danny highjacks all broadcasting services to teach everyone in the world how to make insulin at home so you didn't have to pay a ridiculous amount for necessary medication, the Justice League was now on his tail.

Danny just laughs, thinking there's no way they'd ever be able to arrest him. Little does he know some guy calling himself Batman is leading the mission and he has no intention of arresting him. Danny, much to his horror, becomes far to familiar with adoption papers. As in he keeps having to set them on fire.
