Young Cass adjusting to life with a warm bed and food whenever she wants it after years of uncertainty on the street. Bruce catches her hiding peanut butter and crackers behind a cupboard in the cave and he has to take ten minutes to stare into space because he once caught Jason trying to hide food in that exact same space.
#dc#cassandra cain#batfam#dc rambles#bruce wayne#Jason Todd#Bruce's pysche when he catches parallels between Tim and Cass to Jason and not just Steph to Jason: 💀💀#Nooo golden child dont remind me of the scapegoat I need to keep you completely separate in my head for the sake of my cognitive dissonance

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home
#svsss#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#bingqiu#sqq#lbh#scum villain#heard the song Take This Body Home by Rose Betts and it nearly took me out at the knees#it really really suits sqq's self-detonation in hua yue city right? i'm not the only one feeling this?#considered adding some literal shards for them to be stepping on - since sqq's sword explodes - but i couldn't quite make it work#anyway this has been playing like a music video in my head for the past couple days highly recommend listening to the song#if you haven't heard it before#can't get over the absolute dissonance between how sqq views this scene and how everyone else must feel about it#like to him he's just completing his plan - hopefully keeping lbh from destroying a city with energy imbalance and escaping The Plot#nbd! he and sqh have planned it all out it's FINE :) off he goes!#meanwhile everyone who loves him - including lbh who worked years to get back to him and is trying to work through a lot of grief#and resentment and doubt and longing and... - watches him DIE in FRONT OF THEM#just collapse while coughing up blood sword disintegrating energy completely consumed#like holy hell sqq could you traumatize the people around you any more???#no wonder lbh went a little bit crazy after that like my man was already not in a great place but what the fuck#lbh watches his shizun presumably sacrifice himself for him ONCE AGAIN like after he's finally Gotten Strong his shizun is STILL#coming to harm in an effort to make up for his shortcomings#my art#most of the time out here drawing what amounts to muppets and then sometimes i get the urge for this and just need to cover everyone in blo

they did a study and the average shein consumer is 35 years old, makes 65k a year on average, and spends $100 on average a month ($1,200 a year - 60% more than the average US woman)
also - ???
#this is what we call cognitive dissonance omg#66 billion in revenue i can't even wrap my head around that

The worst people you can imagine to enter and desecrate an ancient sacred forest :)
#you can imagine the dissonance I experienced#as I listened to the heartbreaking and horrific story that is this episode#all with these images of the characters in my head#worlds beyond number#the wizard the witch and the wild one#wwwo#the clearing

HOT take but I am rotating a 27-year-old Mary in my mind, who isn't really fit for motherhood and doesn't stick around- but who blows through the bunker every once in a while with a group of rowdy young hunters and shitty gas station souvenirs, cleans her gun at the kitchen table, calls dean "baby", and leaves
#give me 27 year old Mart or give me death#like the dissonance here would have been soooooooo good can you imagine#Mary behaving almost exactly like Dean did back in the day (she's 27 dude)#but sometimes regressing into having a four year old#only her maternal instincts never aged past still illicitly living the life while having a toddler#but now dean is grown up and she doesn't have to take care of him or pretend to know how to cook#she just blows through town with shitty gas station souvenirs and the nostalgia for a life she wasn't equipped for#and is relieved to have gotten out of- one she relives a little heavily and doesn't have the tools to recreate or pantomime#also dean mommy issues winchester having to recon fully with a mother who is 15 years younger than him#spending his whole life yearning for motherhood and getting only a whisper#and having to face that#anyways that's the good supernatural that lives in my head#spn#Supernatural#mary winchester#mary posting

Does anybody else hc Juste’s dad as just the fucking worst for no reason
I mean we literally know nothing about him whatsoever but like, idk being the son of THE Belmont the one that everyone gives a shit about, and then having a son who is extremely powerful and can do magic (first in the family to do so) plus regular old generational trauma that comes baked in with being a Belmont, I think there’s a fair chance that created some negative feelings that could be projected onto your child.
Or maybe he was fine, idk there is literally zero information on him
#castlevania#serial speaks#Harmony of dissonance#juste belmont#In my head Juste’s childhood was just Whiplash but with vampire hunting instead of drumming

i barely ever know what im talking about, even when im completely certain.
is it okay if its me? im sure its okay if its me, right? dont be a hypocrite now, okay?
#my art#calamarispeaks#ehhhhhhhemnnemm#my shallow reflection in the mirror pulls at my strings and tugs me forward with little care#and as my head cracks through the shattering glass i think... 'boy am i glad to see you'#the tonal dissonance drips down nicely. i laughed by the way. but it wasnt right. so lets pretend i was silent the whole way through

i've been drawing noelle with 5 fingers for a little over a year now (i always drew her with 4 fingers on each hand before that) for no reason other than an impulsive design change, but even still i hold the headcanon that kris is the only hometown resident that can actually play the piano really well because they have 5 fingers lol
#i mean theoretically sans and papyrus also have 5 fingers but i dont think theyre super interested in piano playing or anything sorry#all the other monsters are so animal-like that they all have 4 or less fingers to me#EVEN NOELLE WHO I DRAW WITH 5. still kinda has 4 in my head. dont probe me about this cognitive dissonance i dont really have a reason for#it#5 Finger Hand Easier For Brain To Draw idfk#text#deltarune#i was gonna put this on twitter instead but got self conscious#you must follow me on all platforms to gain every single goomythought

honestly why Did i doubt myself when i said this, i've eaten the text NOW and this is quite literally the point .of the play,
#the only thing that changed is that now i call bolingbroke 'henry' in my head now bc it was faster to type when i was doing my notes#ricky 2#ws#the play's profoundness IS in how richard rises as he falls and how henry starts acting JUST like richard did#at the beginning of the play#maybe not in terms of his bad decisions but certainly in how he carries himself#the cognitive dissonance of believing you are the hand of god vs the constant paranoia that your allies will turn on you in a snap

The disrespect I keep seeing for authors in general rn is just so insane to me, but specifically in that it’s from other authors. There’s genuinely so many ppl on this site who write fic and don’t think an author can pick out plagiarism and I can’t quite wrap my head around it. How do you, yourself, write and not understand that your fingerprints are embedded into every word so deeply you can see them clearly when someone steals them?
You’ve poured your heart and soul into something, breathed life into the clay shell that you molded so carefully and meticulously with your bare hands. Now you stare at the soulless hollow of a poor imitation, these bulging attempts at replicating the slope of the neck and the meat of the calf with unskilled hands—a mockery of your art, so twisted you can hardly recognize it, yet you can see the bones they lifted. Someone has put on your face and your own smile is grinning back at you, and you feel insane and you think nobody will listen, and if you do gather the courage to say it… a whole crowd of people rises up to say you’re wrong, you’re blind, you’re a bully, you don’t own smiles.
Yeah, you don’t. But you do own that one. You made it. It’s yours. What right do they have to wear it? What pride could they muster from such a thing?
#sigh. sorry if this is too flowery or too discourse-y#but I’m feeling very jaded at the moment#I feel like there’s some dissonance between what I consider plagiarism and what many others in this community do#and I can’t quite wrap my head around it

The weight of the world is a heavy burden
Especially for a child
(Or, in slightly less dramatic terms – I imagine that the first of her past lives that Avatar Suiren [who is the Avatar after Aang instead of Korra in my AU, and also Ghazan and Ming-Hua’s daughter] gets to talk to is Yangchen, because she is too plagued by memories not her own [including Jetsun’s death, fun fact]. And Yangchen wouldn’t want another child to go through what she did on their own)
(Or maybe someone just needed an excuse to draw @katkastrofa’s latest obsession in a context that interests them as well, just in time to maybe cheer her up a little? You can’t prove anything)
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#Avatar Suiren AU#Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness#yangchen#original character#sotrl suiren#if you’re wondering what the context is. Suiren is around 8 or 9 here. already having revealed herself as the Avatar to her parents#and it has been Hard. because as much as they try to maintain a sense of normalcy for her. it’s clear that things have changed#they never accounted for their daughter turning out to be the Avatar. they hoped Aang dying on the night she was born to be a coincidence#all of their plans now have to be rethought and put on hold because her safety is more important than anything else#she is never blamed for anything. she is still just as loved. yet there’s now a heaviness in their gazes whenever they look at her#the Avatar as a concept should not exist. it is too much power and responsibility for one being who is ultimately human#that’s what Suiren was taught. so what do those teachings mean if she’s the Avatar?#basically.. a whole lot of cognitive dissonance and she hasn’t even been alive for a decade yet#and all her life her head was filled by strange memories and dreams. fragments of lives not her own. sometimes nightmares#and usually her mama would comfort her through it but tonight… she just wants to be alone#so she wanders off. not too far. but enough that she wouldn’t be heard. and just softly cries#because it’s too much. because she doesn’t want to be the Avatar. why her? why not anyone else?#and as she whispers that she wishes she wasn’t the Avatar. her mind is assaulted by memories of previous Avatars saying the same thing#it really is a never ending cycle of too much burden being placed on a single person. but that realisation is anything but comforting#she begs for it to stop because that grief of life over life spent pushing a boulder uphill is just Too Much#and before she knows it. it ceases. only to be replaced by a blue glow visible even through closed eyelids#and a feather light touch of hands on her face. it doesn’t feel exactly like human hands by virtue of belonging to a spirit#that helps her relax a little. reminding her of mama’s touch. she looks at the person who appeared before her. her mind supplies the name#‘Avatar Yangchen?’. she whispers. but the woman is nowhere near as stoic and peaceful as she’s shown to be in every depiction of her#she looks.. sad. concerned. as burdened by grief as Suiren herself is. she’s not just a legendary figure from a time long gone#not yet another past life Suiren would never measure up to. she’s… human. capable of human emotion. just like Suiren is#I’m not sure how their conversation goes and have no inspiration to come up with anything. but I just wanted to draw them interacting

loki/william rufus fic, where bill explains that as the second son he has inherited england while big brother bob only got the duchy of normandy, ha ha ha.
#no offence to normandy of course i'm sure it's a fine duchy with many things to recommend it.#oh but wait! England Son then dies in a “Hunting Accident” and the next brother heads for the capital ASAP!#where is Bob? idk i think he was on crusade or something. BUT! he'll get to stay in england when henry keeps him captive for life <3#apparently robert got very into welsh poetry while imprisoned for being the older brother so maybe that made up for it all?#PLOT TWIST: henry the first of england leaves no legitimate sons and england ends up having a civil war when he dies.#btw it still throws me a bit that post-conquest kings have names like william and robert while the pre-1066 dudes are all named Aethelthing#*whispers* i kind of feel like asgard should be on a atheling system like pre-conquest england but i don't want to complicate things.#though this would explain why Thor 1 treats a Loki succession as a real possibility and thinks aptitude for kingship in any way matters.#whereas the later movies all assume it works on primogeniture (and none of us in fandom really absorbed the fact that when hela shows up#thor instantly accepts that she's ahead of him in the line of succession and objects to her evilness rather than her sex/gender.#so clearly if thor and loki have an older sister the OLDER matters more than the SISTER. right? yet sif is the only female warrior.#and while i think the 'kings NEED to go into battle!' thing was overstated by the past and by modern observers we do all go along with that#in the context of these films don't we? loki is unsuitable due to his *checks notes* weak fragile feminine form.#*looks at him and experiences a brief moment of cognitive dissonance before moving on*#and that's a story more of us want to tell (or i assume that's what's up) so we all just ignore The Hela Evidence don't we?)#(i can explain my own reasons if anyone asks but nobody will so i won't bother doing it in these tags.)#btw a friend once made a william the conqueror joke about passing the duchy on the left hand side which was FANSTASTIC#but explaining it would take far too long so i won't do that either. BUT IT WAS RLY FUNNY U GUYS (gender-neutral)!#history shitposting#plus the mcu because of course

I'm putting the subs on Chapter 4 and the little emotional nuances are hitting me so bad. Like. Ouugghhhh.
Iroha listening to Ramona talk about all the wonderful sides of her sister's personality- Sides that she doesn't get to see because Koyomi isn't home often. The way she so casually celebrates how Koyomi seems happier and more open with Gingaza members than with her, just barely hiding her disappointment. The way she feels like it's her fault Koyomi has it so tough carrying on the legacy because she never developed a Sense of her own. And the way everyone but Koyomi in the family seems dismissive of her work with Denki.
It feels like Iroha is so focused on giving back to Denki because she feels unable to give back to her family. Like her existence as a Sense-less Senju is this shameful debt to be repaid. So she does her best to avoid burdening anyone further (she specifically mentions not wanting her sister, Ramona, or anyone else to "spoil her" A LOT in this event). She wants to be of use to someone- Anyone. And that seems to make her conflicted about Denki's motto being "just have fun", because even though having fun is how she wants to honor the ideals of her troupe, she's starting to look down on the idea of doing something solely for fun. Just like her family does.
These estranged sister have my heart in a chokehold I swear
#wds#world dai star#i think this is the event that will make me stop being normal about this game#i love stories about emotional dissonance between siblings#the tension and tragedy of certain aspects of the sister's relationship is just sooooo#ugh this is gonna be in my head forever some of these lines are killing me#i need to find that post about the tragedy of a spare heir because i think would make such a good idea for a royalty au or oneshot with the#iroha senju#koyomi senju#misc

Lmao, my brother and I listened to epic (complete edition) while driving back from visiting family this morning and Hold Them Down nearly killed us when we got to the part where he’s singing about Penelope
#we were already making FACES… and then we got to that part and the cognitive dissonance of ‘oh i HATE this’ and ‘but he sounds SO good’#fully had my brother keeled over in the passenger seat clutching his head like ‘WHAT IS HAPPENING.’#overall though. fun times! i liked the new songs and jamming out with my brother in the car was a good time

so jealous of people whose favourite actor is still alive
#Alan is such a constant presence in my head#it’s dissonant when I’m reminded he’s gone#but then I remember#if he’s so alive in my head#he’s so alive in other fans’ heads too#and all the people blessed enough to have known him#so is he really dead?#bc he’s still here with us#still wish he could make more films tho

unironically perfectly incapsulates the rise and fall of the decepticon cause and cyclical nature of cybertronian history in general
youtube
and because I'm biased I would cast Starscream as the song's pov
#transformers#starscream#functionalism and the systemic abuse of the lower castes leading to dissonance and revolt under strong leadership for ideal 'peace and love#lenin and stalin being Megatron at various stages of the war becoming more corrupt overtime#first calling for the falll of the senate and sentinel and rapidly ecacalting#wipping out any resistance escalating to the destruction of the whole planet#and the expansion of the war to colonizing other planets and exploiting their resources#dwindling resources with the war dragging on and it all becoming more pointless losing and gaining ground in the same measure#and then increasingly insane inter factional power grabs and infighting and the unlimited dissolution of major players#and then the rebuilding effort#decepcion#decepticons#the transformers rabbit hole has become deep enough I am now making animatics in my head help#transformers cybertron#cybertronians#Youtube
