The look on his face, the realization 💔
#squidgameedit#squidgamegif#squid game#seong gi hun#characterization#balgif#the first 2 games were just competing against the clock really#but this time they had to compete against each other#they had to actively kill the other team#and he has the front row view#the abject horror on his face in the 3rd gif#everyone else has their eyes scrunched shut but gihuns are open#he’s looking he sees he will not close his eyes#he's not looking at the rope burns on his hands#hes looking at his hands because he just used them to kill 10 people#the blood is on his hands literally and symbolically#god this is so heartbreaking#a++ amazing acting and directing choices here

generally just not a fan of "oh everyone knows Clark Kent is superman/an undocumented immigrant but they protect him/ don't want to hurt his feelings so they pretend they don't know" because like why do you desire a Clark that isn't smart or competent enough to codeswitch or do basic closeted performance for safety.
And then people get really weird about it like "Clark's co-workers figured it out because they did an invasive background check and wtf this man doesn't need glasses! It has to be an act!" And just. Are we judging glasses users who aren't Velma level vision now? Why are we role playing a universe where "doubting someone's use of an accessibility tool as common as glasses" as a normal thing.
Maybe. Clark is very good at acting. Because he knew he was different since he was very young, so he knew how to act "respectable". Is that. Really that hard to believe.
#ramblings#jesncin dc meta#idk are ppl making hcs of this with bats. “bruce is bad at acting we all know he's bats” or do we believe bruce is competent#same with ppl who think “this is not how a farm boy would act he's too competent!” like. farm ppl are the most competent ppl ever#i know ppl like lois like to stereotype him as a country bumpkin but idk as a child of a farmer i know those ppl got their shit together

AU where the Justice League haven’t revealed their secret IDs to each other yet (or at least Batman hasn’t) and the League, after several coincidental run-ins with him, know that Bruce Wayne is much more intelligent and calculating than he acts in the media. Except they don’t know why—they just think he acts that way because he hates working and wants to get out of dealing with responsibilities or smth
Clark Kent the reporter happens to be attending a gala Bruce is holding when it gets attacked by some rogue or other, and all the guests are being held hostage in the room, and there’s a bomb and everything, it’s all very dramatic and Gotham-typical. Clark and Bruce are hiding behind a table, coincidentally where the bomb is, timer slowly counting down. Clark can’t become Superman without blatantly blowing his secret ID, and Batman’s not showing up for some reason, so he (preparing to just fuckin jump on the bomb and tank that shit, consequences be damned) kinda frantically as a last resort asks if Bruce knows how to disarm a bomb and Bruce (who knows that Clark is Superman and is kinda messing with him) just pulls out a whole belt of tools like “As a matter of fact, Mr Kent, I took a course on bomb disposal back on my self-discovery journey!”
“A what now.”
“A self-discovery journey, Mr Kent, I’d be happy to tell you all about it after this.”
“No, I meant—you took a course on what.”
#I’ve seen many Brucie Wayne intentionally acting vapid and airheaded to mess with the Justice League#I now raise to you: Brucie Wayne being extremely and inexplicably competent to mess with the Justice League#my art#this was a terrible way to find out Idk how to draw middle aged men#dc#dc fanart#batman#superman#bruce wayne#brucie wayne#clark kent#justice league#superbat#shitpost

being a dc fan means knowing deep in your heart that bruce and tim are fighting for the 1st dick grayson fan
when Tim first became Robin i'd bet they both implied that they were Dick's #1 fan and they both stared at each other and started arguing passive aggressively about it. eventually though the passive aggressiveness turned into a genuine bond because Bruce realized 1) he was competing with a thirteen year old and 2) it was nice to talk about his boy with someone who also very much cared about his boy. I can garauntee that Bruce saw Dick being a good big brother to Tim who had this unwavering respect and admiration for Dick the way a younger brother would and that's when Bruce was like "well, i'm screwed. i HAVE to adopt him."
#dick grayson#tim drake#bruce wayne#tim drake is dick's number one fan#dick's friends kept competing for that title for years because they don't care about fighting with a thirteen year old#except they lost so many times that it started actually getting embarrassing#tim!robin#bruce: they're already acting like brothers so i might as well#this is half a joke#bruce had other reasons for caring about tim#but him being so attached to dick like a baby duck when dick was around was the biggest reason#they're a pair you can't separate them

#columbo#season 2#double shock#mrs peck ysee im literally neurodivergent and a minor#columbo very competently weaponizes his dysfunction. he doesn't make it up. it's not An Act. he simply leverages whats already there#hes tried labeling. closet organizers. shelving drawers devices etc etc forever and ever and it doesnt matter. he is just entropy incarnate#and he's made peace with it. and so has his wife who presumably accepts bringing order to his lack thereof

Loid POV on Red Circus Terrorist Arc



I know that the manga doesn't really dwell on this very long, especially because we're mostly experiencing this event through Anya's POV, but... can you imagine what Loid must've felt? For the great spy Twilight to come "racing back here" from a business trip that was probably significantly far away?
Imagine Loid in his Dr. Forger front, socializing with his fellow doctors on a business trip, when he suddenly gets some spy intel that an Eden College school bus has been hijacked by terrorists.
His heart drops without his permission. He knows that Anya was going on a field trip today. She'd been excited all through breakfast, talking about museums and heroes and spies and wars --- he hopes selfishly that it wasn't Anya's bus (for Operation Strix, of course).
More intel gets to him. It is Anya's bus. Moreover, the attackers are the Red Circus, a violent terrorist organization with a rampant hatred of the upper class, its leader driven by vengeance for his own daughter. He stops breathing--- rambles out some excuse to his coworkers to get away--- somehow still has the sense to hotwire a car instead of driving his own--- gets to the scene, forgets to put on a different face in his panic, just steals some officer's uniform as he rushes to the scene---
How could he have let his guard down? How could he have lulled himself into such a false sense of security? The country isn't at war, yes, but it isn't stable, either. Sending Anya to Eden was never going to be safe. He should've sent her back, just like he almost did when she first got kidnapped. He's not good enough to protect even one little girl-- he's a useless excuse for a spy.
He's utterly useless in the end, even as he does get to the scene. It sorts itself out (somehow???) and Yor is there to comfort Anya, always the loving mother (thank god for Yor, he thinks, and he should be alarmed at how much he relies on her when he doesn't know what to do)
he hears later that his stupid-ass kid was actually the one to de-escalate the situation by getting a FUCKING (fake) BOMB STRAPPED TO HER NECK. He's shaking in his boots--- he's never met or seen anyone with as little self-preservation and bravery as this kid that's now under his care. Is she stupid? Is she deeply traumatized from her time at the orphanage? This creature is incomprehensible to him, but she scares the shit out of him constantly.
How do you take care of a kid like that? A kid that's gone through so much in her short life, who would rather be in life-or-death situations than be apart from him, a random suspicious man she's only met a few months ago?



Twilight has no fucking clue.
He can only self-flagellate for so long. It's a waste of time. He may not know everything about Anya, but he has learned some things.
He hopes that he can find a bakery that sells peanut cakes.
#spy x family meta#spy x family#twiyor#if you squint#but mostly loid and anya#anya forger#loid forger#yor forger#sxf#sxf meta#most competent person in the world gets saddled with wildly incomprehensible kreacher#loid forger's fuckass kid#anya literally acts like a crazy person and it drives loid insane bc its SO UNSAFE WHAT THE FUCK#somehow it always works out for her but it gives him a heart attack EVERY TIME#he's gonna get an ulcer

just imagine, how slow and soft and sensual and sweet the love making would be with monster!sukuna after you (his human lover) ask him to be careful with you. you try to hide your feelings, but you’re so vulnerable and raw and open to him - all defenses down, and he can tell that you’re a little frightened. the smallest part of you is unsure of what he would actually do.
just imagine all the ways in which he would prove you wrong.
#I am in a very hurt/comfort mood#like sukuna making every intimate act such a conscious choice#honestly would ruin your heart & body forever <3#no one else could compete#sukuna x reader#sukuna x you#true form sukuna x reader

yes, yes i know edgeworth’s big wet eyes and loser boy personality have captivated us all, but listen. listen.
phoenix wright
phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright
phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright
phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright
phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright
phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright
phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright
phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright
phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright
phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright
just
phoenix wright
crunchiest man in the world
and all i wanna do is chew and chew and chew on him
#ace attorney#where are all the people gnawing on phoenix's bones so white??#i need to find the phoenix bone-gnawing corner of this fandom PLEASE#this is me asking for the Phoenix Fic btw#where is the fic meditating on phoenix's whole mental state in general?#where is the fic about how it's phoenix's cageyness and poker face and flat affect under stress that is the hurdle?#the relationship ramifications of being actually really fucking hard to read when it comes down to it?#where is the fic about the week of his disbarment?#the one detailing the panicked blow by blow of it rippling through his social circle while he stands in the eye of the storm?#the one that ends messy and anxious and unresolved because it's week 1 of 7 years?#where is the birth of phoenix wright: poker legend fic?#where is the art school/theatre major phoenix fic?#no not the able to art/act phoenix fic but the kind of person who chooses to go to art school/study theatre phoenix fic#where is the supremely disinterested in pop culture phoenix fic?#where is the actually incredibly meticulous and competent phoenix fic?#capcom can tell me all they want that he's essentially an adhd disaster flying by the seat of his pants making it all up as he goes#but that's not what they're actually showing me#they're the ones who created an in-fiction legal system that functionally necessitates that#and the nature of the game is that phoenix is almost always proven right so rather than him coming off as hare-brained#his opponents rather just come off as short-sighted. either negligently or maliciously so#and the choices the writing makes in service of retaining mystery and audience suspense in fact function to make phoenix a person#who is astute and puts the pieces together but is cautious in his conclusions#i will grant them that phoenix does tend to lose sight of his overarching goal in getting drawn into proving or disproving minor points#the fact that edgeworth on the other hand never loses sight of this or where the various arguments stand in relation to it#is his sexiest trait as a character by far#but those minor points are actually functionally critical to the ultimate argument phoenix makes#so even though i do read that trait through the game mechanics i do also judge the other characters for being dicks about it#my point is phoenix wright does in fact have the character of a lawyer and is conventionally good at his job fucking fight me#my point is that you all have had 20 goddamn years to Rotate this man#my POINT is that there should be Intricate Fucked Up Meditations On Phoenix that rewire my fucking brain and i NEED to know where they are!

The disappointment i have when there isn't enough fics/posts of the jl fighting someone who can remove/take away their superpower
and when Shazam gets hit with it he just.... splits into like 6 kids (all below 17) (one is literally 7-9 yrs old) ( thats obv Darla)
yeah the JL def has questions
and most of the Shazam kids reaction is like "oh shit oh shit sHiTh SHIT SHIT SHIITTTT" for many reasons like 'oh shit we don't have our powers how are we gonna defeat this guy' and 'oh sHiT now they (the jl) know we're a kid/im a kid' wtf will happen now?!?!'' and also 'nope. nope I don't like this. it feels weird being separate/d (entities)' is also their reaction
and it take awhile (days actually) (don't ask why) to catch the superpower–removing villain and revert the effects so they're on this mission (roadtrip) with definitely mature and responsible children (read: menaces to society) that happens to be captain marvel
#Justice league#Shazam/captain marvel#Shazam kids#captain marvel dc#Darla#Freddie#pedro#mary#billy batson#i want them to try and act professional Infront of th jl (and failing to do so)#bc at heart their gremlins#i have thought abt the YJ's reaction#the only thing i can come up with is “wtf” or that some things make sense now#i like the thought that shazam kinda mothers the yj#even tho he's literally younger#then Shazam gets hit and turn to 6 kids#they're STILL mothering the YJ#wholesome shit but like...#imagine being nagged abt proper sleep and eating..... by 12 yr old#they're ages for me would be Darla-#Darla-7#billy-10#freddie-10 or 11#Mary-13 or 15 but i prefer 13#it dont make sense#but i think its funny that they can be competent#and SOMEHOW managed to make ppl believe they're an adult that makes just make immature mistakes#idk how#kinda ooc for them but idc if billy says a swear word infront it would be so much better#Eugene

Just love seeing buck telling ravi about how Eddie is basically giving him princess treatment - buck was kicking his feet retelling that story on how Eddie changed his tire
#buck a twink at heart if nothing else#he was def just sitting on that curb with heart eyes while Eddie changed the tire#buck was having heart palpitations over Eddie being competent and hot#this also furthers my Eddies love language being acts of service#need me fics of Eddie just being hopelessly in love doing everything for buck and buck being hopelessly in love with his competent boyfriend#911 abc#911#911 show#evan buck buckely#evan buckley#eddie diaz#buddie
