A-anime?
you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.
also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:
#twisted wonderland#twst anime#<- gonna use that for anime stuff in case anyone wishes to filter it#this is the point where i once again have to admit that i have not really read the manga#(i've liked what i've seen but it's very hard for me to keep up with stuff a lot of the time)#(the anime may actually be easier for me to absorb it in :')#god i GOTTA draw the manga yuus#i kept meaning to when yuuna got revealed but i didn't get around to it before 7-13 ate my brain 😭#anyway the bits they chose for the trailer are pretty interesting to me!#like i think chances are good it was mostly from that one sequence because given the timeline#they probably don't have a ton of 100% finished post-comp footage yet so they probably just took what they have#but also i'm thinking back to how deliberately vague all the game promo stuff was#and...okay again i don't really know how they did it in the manga but i am reminded of how overblotting was actually like. a twist.#a twst twist#like we were introduced to it in the prologue with the mine phantom#but riddle's overblot was an actual SURPRISE and like. an instant reveal that okay THIS is what the story's gonna be about#so i'm just kinda wondering if the anime promos might also like...actively try not to spoil everything#or if they're gonna go full anime-intro 'here's all the super spoilery scenes you can expect to see :)'#basically is the marketing gonna skew towards new viewers or established fans. both valid i'm just curious!#also excuse me for a moment as i reveal myself as a hugely pretentious snob but#oh my god the backgrounds actually have some texture and shape and are taking style cues from the game backgrounds#oh my god the castle exterior actually looks illustrative and fantastic and isn't just a 3d model they plopped in#it's hard to tell at this point how consistent that'll be since most of the trailer is in the mirror chamber#but i'm just SO happy to see it! hopefully this means they weren't crunched to fuck and are able to really go ham#(the pre-isekai scenes all look more generic modern anime so like...is that a conscious artistic choice they made)#(because that would be incredible. holy shit.)

they should've been at the club(infertility treatment centers)
#like guys. be real with me. how many options did you even try before turning to dark magic#nothing about the situation called for all that😭#in my mind they're like 22 and 25 here which makes it all even funnier#guys please just adopt a dog or something😭#nothing about either of you screams ready for parenthood#im so happy adrien agreste exists but the circumstances of his birth are so ridiculous#there is so much gabe and emilie couldve done besides this. they could have done anything#honestly knowing them(<-girl who believes she knows them) im not even convinced the infertility treatment wasnt working#I think they just both were so allured by the concept of a magic baby#they were like six months in and hadn't gotten pregnant yet and were like. well. I guess we're out of options! dark magic it is!#and made it everyone else's problem forever#these two wanted to be doomed by the narrative SO bad#honestly though being a 22 year old girl I kind of yet it. sometimes I see a cute baby and want one so bad maybe I too would use dark magic#maybe emilie agreste was just a girl.#anyway. sorry adrien that your parents were Like This but it is so so funny#anna rambles#ml#gabriel agreste#emilie agreste

I SWEAR CELEBI'S THINGY IS COMING SOON BUT I REALLY WANTED TO POST THIS ALRIGHT
yeaah... future trio got me too...
and Darkrai is there too, because of course he is.
hey look i drew a cute Drifloon :D
...ignore the rest
whatever started at Darkrai doodles ended in brainrot of future trio + darkrai and I'm blaming @scribz-ag24 for this
#Can you believe between the first pic and the 4th pic is only a week inbetween. I sure can't but like why did I mirror the pose...#ON ACCIDENT??? Everytime I look at the two Grovyles I'm like... how... how did they end up so differently???#also probably blaming @cozybells as well for this but I really fear tagging people so I'm just letting y'all know in the tags because#I do wanna let everyone know who inspired me when someone did <333 better get running [you know who you are!!!!] DusnoirXDarkrai is next...#also: upon seeing scribz-ag24's art my brain said: You need to color too! ah yeah that went well with the doodle batch#I really hope you're able to read everything with how messy I can write sometimes. If not please let me know and I'll add sth in this post!#Also the doodle batch was the first thing I drew so well... never drew dusknoir before and grovyle once i think...#please go easy on me I have yet to explore the relationship between literally everyone😭 and I have no idea what I‘m doing and I'm a little#lost I normally only draw King Boo or Darkrai but I'm sure scribz-ag24 sprinkling in bits of Darkrai got me in love with the future trio to#grovyle#future trio#celebi#darkrai#dusknoir#pmd hero#pokemon#drifloon#totodile#my art#my stuff#tagas friend spoiler#pmd#pokemon mystery dungeon#IS THERE A SHIP NAME FOR FUTURE TRIO... there must be. ...oh... is it just...#futuretrioshipping#i feel sooo stupid rn.#also everytime i drew darkrai i had evil spiteful bastard in mind (except for the one with an arrow pointing out he's redeemed) but i think#i literally mixed every possible version of him in my head so got absolutely no clue what i'm doing :D#anyways i hope you enjoyed this and thanks for reading through my ramblings! Have such a wonderful rest of the day yippiee <333#pmd2

I really love the cinematography in kcd2; I'm not sure how to explain it properly but, for a game that showcases so many battle/siege sequences, it never focuses on the battles and the destruction they bring but on the subtler emotions, the headstate of a character, or what the consequences will mean. It's really done in a powerful way
#Like I still think about how you can pray for Hans's life at the very beginning at Bozena's that was beautiful 😭#Or when the cannon was shown for the first time I've never felt this terrified even before it did anything#I was just doing the exodus quest and that shot of Sam hesitating before setting fire was so!!#I don't know I'm babbling I just really like it......

my take on some late high school eds
started handwriting their descriptions but i had too many dumb thoughts for all that. ignore any typos pls lol.
my headcanons are pretty grim but that's life. they'll figure it out. or maybe not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#was gonna wait til the poll ended before giving them their ages but im not gonna wait 24 hours for that lol#i love ed's outfit it's so fun#had to give him the evanescence shirt and luckily their logo is pretty simple#you know his ass would wear the tapers instead of actual plugs#but so did everyone else back in '04#ive been trying to accept the imperfections when i draw and just like let it be messy and roll with it lmao so be nice 😭#im mostly okay with how it turned out and it was really fun to draw

extremely important question do any buffy fans here actually like angel (the series not the character) because i swear all i see lately is people saying it sucks and they couldn't get through it and it's like you can't ALL be that wrong
#season 1 is i guess a bit slow if you're not into the initial premise#at least the beginning#and yeah the soap opera dramatics of s4 get ragged on for obvious reasons#but 2 and 3 are insane#and 5 is just a lot of fun indespersed with some of the most devastating shit you'll ever watch. great times#angel has some of the best storylines in the entire buffyverse argue with the wall#it's not as solid all the way through as buffy by any means but the heights of angel absolutely rival some of the heights of buffy#doesn't beat them out though but still#also s4 is way better on rewatches is what i've realised#first time i was like. what#but once you know what's actually causing everyone to act like they are it isn't as crazy as it first seems lmao#still a mess and joss whedon must pay for his crimes regarding cordelia#but it's definitely much better still#i just don't understand how you can watch wesley completely unraveling throughout the show and not agree it bangs severely#the father will kill the son????? peak television i don't CARE#also angel gets sooo much darker and adult than buffy it's so interesting!!#and darla... oh my darla.....#most people hate connor when he grows up and thats fair i did too#i still don't love him but i appreciate his character a looot more on rewatches#and from a psychological perspective he's fascinating#he gets a bit of a dawn treatment from audiences i feel like. like you can call them annoying thats fair#but when people claim they're annoying for no reason im like lets look at their lives so far please 😭#anyway. regardless of your opinion on older connor. that initial storyline before and right after he's born#absolutely fucking crazy and also so good#you're telling me you watched darla sobbing being like i won't even be able to remember that i loved it and you felt nothing????#i could go on about this forever probably sorry

"I wish you could see it, too" got a whole new meaning when it's revealed that takashi has all these precious people he could actually enjoy pretty, interesting sceneries with (even if he didn't get to see them together for some instances), while reiko likely had no one to do that after what had happened with souko 💔
#i know that midorikawa is not That Cruel but i always wonder if reiko died happy? if she was loved by and could love someone in the end? 🥲#takashi has always been an empathetic teen so the realization that he's lucky enough to live the life that his grandma couldn't probably#hit him like a truck. like yeah... takashi did get where he was now because of his effort to connect with humans. but luck and fate#did play an important part in how different reiko and takashi turned out as a person who can See (in relation to their social life) 🥲#like. what the hell are you supposed to say to this girl that you want to befriend that you're actually the rumored yankee that this girl#had warned you about days prior 😭 how many social rejections can you take before you've gone numb and realize that giving up is easier 😭#i hope i can live long enough to see more of reiko's past revealed in future chapters... i refuse to believe that she died sad and alone 💔#natsume yuujinchou#natsuyuu#natsume yuujinchou s7#natsuyuu s7#natsuyuu manga#natsume reiko#natsume takashi#nyanko sensei

y’all i cannot stop fucking thinking about it. will with his big blue eyes, youngest of them all, completely musically untalented and rhythmically challenged but by the gods does he understand the human body. following lee around holding his quiver and rattling off whatever he just learned from watching michael in the infirmary. doted on by his big siblings. talking for hours about a galaxy far far away with heroes who choose to save the world, aren’t forced to, hey, they’re heroes, just like you, lee! and his siblings have dreams, they know the prophecies, they look at their little brother and they know he will be alone. they don’t know why or how yet but they can feel in their very soul that he will be out in the stupid world with all its hatred and violence and he will have to defend himself. and he can’t shoot straight and he cries when he hurts someone in training, and all he wants to do is help, and he doesn’t understand that people can be cruel and they will take his kindness and bleed him dry. and a war is coming. they can feel it. do you think they would be desperate? for themselves as much as will? i don’t know how long i will live. i don’t know how long i have left. but you will be there, son of phoebus. i know you will. remember me, okay? remember how i loved you. remember how we loved each other, remember how we healed and fought and cared. please. please, will, remember us. and remember how we loved you.
#I AM FUCKING SOBBING ON THE GROUND#WHY DID I WRITE THAT 😭😭😭😭😭 WHY DID I OPEN THE CAN OF WORMS#all i can think of is lee!!#with his brothers and sisters and his gift of prophecy!!!#KNOWING he is going to die!!!!#knowing will is the only one who is going to survive!!!!#what do you do with that!!!#how do you deal with that!!!!#how do you put armour around his heart???#how do you protect him when you know you won’t be there#when you know he’ll have NOBODY???#HOW?????? HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF#WITH THE GODS????#and knowing how he finally goes…..#do you think it haunts him in elysium#or do you think for once the gods we merciful#and let him die before he saw the look in wills eyes#as he cradled the pieces of his skull#and sobbed#and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed#gods help me.#will solace#lee fletcher#will solace & lee fletcher#will solace angst

craziest thing abt life is how you can just be going along for Years without knowing the people who will become so fucking important to you and then one day you just meet some random fucker who becomes irreplaceable and shifts your world forever and you wonder how the hell you knew yourself before. like that's wild!
#is this relatable or am I weird who knows yoko!#but it's just whdjsksjsksks#wack. wild.#so many people I just didn't know and can't imagine not knowing now#and esp lately it's like 😭 howwwww how how.... that's all. anyway.#like! if you'd never read that fic or messaged that person or worked that job your life would be just a little emptier#and how did you not even notice that space before#DOES THAT MAKE SENSE....

guys I ended up on the wrong side of swiftie tumblr please help get me back to the normal side where people don’t think that Taylor swift is secretly a lesbian who is singing to k*rlie kl*ss 😭😭 like istg she could marry Travis tomorrow and have 8 kids with him and they’d all be like “omg performance art” like you really think queen kylie kelce would involve her family in this if it was fake? The same kylie who is NOTORIOUS for not taking any bullshit? You think she’s involving her kids in this? Not a chance (side note Kylie kelce please adopt me I love you)
also if she was gay it makes more sense from a pr perspective for her to be single for a while rather than for her to have a “beard” she’s constantly slut shamed for having boyfriends and it’s not like those men get away Scot free either…. like she was fresh out of a 6 year relationship she could very easily have gone the “taking some time to work on myself before I get into another relationship” route if she didn’t want to date men anymore but instead she went straight to matty Healy of all people (which I genuinely think is one of the worst decisions she’s made in the past 5 years but then again she’s a grown adult who can do what she likes it’s none of my business and that is an opinion for another day)
“she’s being so loud in her songs only gaylors would understand” so close! Believing that a celebrity is sending you secret messages is actually a sign of schizophrenia! She’s not your friend she doesn’t know you and you should probably seek help xx
p.s. if you read this and felt offended I suggest you get a job I’ve heard they’re really good at filling all that free time you use to try and tear apart a stranger’s relationship
#anti gaylor#gaylors dni#Yes ik bi people exist no I don’t think she is one#Before people come at me for homophobia I’m literally a big fat lezzer don’t even try it#swifties#taylor swift#tayvis#travis kelce#mine taylor swift#honestly just tagged that song because I love it and I will never pass up an opportunity to say it’s the best#Hetlors#Please I’m normal 😭#kylie kelce#please adopt me my queen#Don’t come at me for the lack of punctuation I’m gay#Gaylors if you feel the need to comment just know I’m going read it and laugh at you#Not right away though I do have a life outside of tumblr#Can’t say the same for you guys#Honestly if you’re a gaylor how did you even find this I purposefully didn’t tag you guys because I know what you’re like

falls to the floor and saves myself from the awkwardness of losing followers for having opinions they did not like (which is valid of them btw curate ur own online experience) by blocking everyone in a ten mile radius and by everyone i mean two people to spare myself
#weeping sobbing crying#it’s so awkward#but kinda ironic ig due to certain factors#guess it wasn’t meant to be#it’s ok tho#no hate here just. ough. wow that’s awkward.#hope they’re doing chill i just cannot stand to see someone in my followed tags knowing they unmutualed me it’s like getting a divorce and#seeing them at a grocery store#this wouldn’t be the case for like so many mutuals but it was so awkward how it happened#granted we’d had many disagreements before that didn’t need to happen#sometimes people clash and that’s ok BUT HOLY SHIT THATS SO AWKWARD TO REALIZE#LIKE OH. The purple was replaced with Green. shame proceeds to occur#heavily so :’)#very tense past few days between us though so i guess that’s fair. on their part#good 4 them tbh. i believe in curating your own online experience. i am glad they did that for themselves#BUT THE PAINNNN#bread emoji#they were very nice btw#no harm towards them#leaving them anonymous to make sure of that fact#even tho i hate vagueposting 😭#if you know who they are then don’t be mean or whatever#very nice mutualship we had when it lasted and i appreciate that :)#and i am glad for that experience as well#hope they’re doing ok!!!! and enjoying life#bc they deserve it!!!!

Sotr hasn't been out for a full month yet and people have been starting ship wars and attacking people, not because they saw anything wrong with popular Haymitch ships beforehand but because of the epilogue. WHAT 😭😭😭
#y'all shipping war people need to learn how to block and move on#I just block anyone who tries to start ship wars. It's so weird.#especially because they do it to support their ship not because they've ever seen anything wrong with rival ships before the book came out#I don't fw h/yffie or h/ydove for a number of reasons so I just ignore them. Simple.#<< blocked the tags cuz I don't want people who enjoy them to see me bitching#HOW did people get toxic so fast😭how online do you have to be bro#stepping out of Tumblr for like an hour and seeing how crazy people are about this topic was shocking. Like I've heard about it but goddamn#anyways. chaffnathy and hayzelle enjoyer for life. I will stay happy with the very limited number of fics on ao3#attacking people who shipped haysilee before the book is so weird. Mfs in 2013 didn't know shit.#thg#fandom#fandom critical

there should've been at least a full view of Fíli's body in the funeral scene
"Fíli you didn't deserve any of this" we all say in unison
#you already know how much i hate the way the hobbit movies are not canon-accurate at all#but what my boy Fili did to deserve such erasure... not even Mahal knows#not only he's the “least important Durin” in the movies somehow?? like he's literally the heir?? hello???#(Thorin's the king and we have that -ugh- Kíli subplot... nothing for Fíli)#we didn't even get a full body view like the rest of the departed. why.#but tbh I hate the funeral scene in general in the movies (the whole change w/ the Elvenking's character) so yeah#this is just the cherry on top#before anyone comes for my head for anything I've said: the movies are great movies BUT most definitely not good the hobbit adaptations#never in a million years will I ever say “if you don't feel like reading the book just watch the movie and I'll tell you the rest :)”#because literally no YOU'll be telling me the rest 😭#but also never in a million years will I ever say “please for the love of everything holy do NOT ever watch those terrible halfling films”#the hobbit#fili and kili#fili durin#kili durin#the hobbit thorin#thorin oakenshield#the hobbit movies

I went on tiktok to just watch some silly Odysseus videos but then I mostly saw people going like "Yeah, maybe Odysseus cried on Calypso' island every day but honestly he had that coming after what he did Achilles and Patroclous/Circe!!!" and "Everything that happens in Odyssey is deserved cuz he took Patrochilles to war!!!" and "I feel so bad for Circe and Calypso and Penelope, they deserved better!!!"
For fucks sake I beg you, read anything different from Millers bs and like educate yourself- And please stop goddamn saying that rape victim. deserved it.
Circe probably didn't give a flying fuck, Calypso is a rapist and abuser and Penelope deserved everything she wanted and SHE WANTED ODYSSEUS
I think I've had enough internet for today, imma go wash my eyes with bleach. Anyways sorry for ranting here, i hope you don't mind it lmao
It's alright. I absolutely understand the vents about the whole thing. :'D No one deserves to be a victim of such a thing no matter WHAT they've done. I hope your eyes are okay after the bleach
Like Odysseus does so many fucked up things but Calypso and Circe? He is the victim. Period. It's very clear that Odysseus is in extreme distress on Ogygia. And Circe wasn't some sort of FwB situation. There's fear and numbness in the language he uses when talking about it. There's so much victim blaming and it SUCKS.
Even then, Odysseus' journey was kind of about "temptation" or just straight up "Die or get out of my sea." From Poseidon. "I don't want you in my waters so I'm gonna try and give you things that will keep you on land or just kill you."
Immortal goddesses wanting you would be many people's dream come true but not for Odysseus. And I think that's the point. His determination, how he clawed his way back into the arms he never wanted to leave in the first place, is incredible. Many people would've given up and just started a new life but he never would because no life he could ever create would compare to the life he had before. Even if it's different, it's what he's always wanted.
He literally tells Calypso "I'm not stopping until I'm home. I don't care if I suffer more until I do. I'm going home."
“Mighty goddess, do not be angry with me over this. I myself know very well Penelope, although intelligent, is not your match to look at, not in stature or in beauty. But she’s a human being and you’re a god. You’ll never die or age. But still I wish, every moment to get back to my home, to see the day of my return. And so, even if out there on the wine-dark sea some god breaks me apart, I will go on— the heart here in my chest is quite prepared to bear affliction. I’ve already had so many troubles, and I’ve worked so hard through waves and warfare. Let what’s yet to come be added in with those.”
(Book 5, Johnston)
Circe's a goddess and what happened is nothing like Dionysus and Ariadne and Apollo and Hyacinthus for example. Circe never gave Odysseus a crown of stars and he would never go out of his way to kill 120 people for bothering her. They did not love each other and he can't refuse as she's a goddess.
If you interpret them sleeping together the entire year,(It's only explicitly said that they had sex once so that's what I go with personally.) that doesn't mean he was happy with it! Even then, the whole situation is not what a healthy FwB should look like! I'm asexual and even I know that no one in a FwB situation should have to BEG in any way that basically says "Please let me go or kill me" with supplication!!! The fact that he leaves so quickly he forgets one of his men? The fact that during Elpenor's funeral, he doesn't greet Circe himself? He was avoiding her. Wouldn't he want to get "one last night together" during Book 12 if they were fwb? 🙄
It's bonkers to me that people hate him for being a "cheater" when A.) having multiple lovers wasn't uncommon in Ancient Greece, and B.) the two people he is explicitly said to have "cheated" with, weren't his choice. He wasn't actively searching for pretty women either!!!
As mentioned, while it was common for men to have many lovers, Odysseus never had any listed unlike some of the other men. (not bashing any of them. I'm just making a point in comparison.) He also has no other children besides Telemachus in Homer's works. There's no evidence of him having other lovers other than speculation. (funny enough, I once read somewhere that the reason why Odysseus is so mean is because he doesn't "bond" enough with the other soldiers. 😂)
Does that mean he didn't have other lovers? Technically, Nope! It's just never explicitly stated either way. He has slaves but none were ever said to be concubines or that he sleeps with them. He has deep bonds with his fellow soldiers but that doesn't mean he sleeps with them. That doesn't mean people can't write or talk about him doing so even though it's not mentioned! Just like it also means that someone can write him not doing so as there's nothing that says it either way in Homer's Works! :D
It's fucked up when people say "He didn't try to leave Calypso enough" or something of the like. It just tells you how A.) they didn't read the Odyssey or have piss on the poor reading comprehension or B.) ...you should probably stay away from that person...
With Circe though??? I can understand the confusion but digging deeper and looking at the text, he wasn't having a good time. Or at the very least was walking on Eggshells the whole time. I hate bringing up that essay over and over again but like...I literally wrote everything there.
I also don't like how people take Circe's morally gray-ness away from her. Let her do something fucked up to be fucked up!!! Let her traumatize Odysseus!
Idk, I kind of hate that I'm "known" for this but I relate to this idiot asshole a lot and it means a lot to me that his story, despite what happens to him, has a happy ending :'D
#Thank goodness I don't have tiktok >:)#I wish there was a way to like. have anonymous posts? because I made that PTSD post to show how him refusing to be bathed#by Nausica's maids and him choking Euryclea and was giving reference to make a point but I wish I wasn't like. Known for this???#but like... I HAVE something to say. Having specific knowledge of some things just...really makes it clear in what happened that I don't#think others have considered.#And I was afraid if I was “vague” then people would say “You're just saying that to get sympathy points” and I didn't want to deal with#that :'D plus like in his outbursts I saw myself you know?#I just kept thinking “oh shit. I KNOW what you're doing because I did it too aAAAAAHHHHHHHHh”#I relate to Helen too but in a way. The Odyssey shows her “HEALED” (which fuck yeah!!! YESSS!!!😭) it doesn't show the#PTSD in the same way as she's had many years to recover. Watching it happen in “real time” for Odysseus was...really nice.#i said it before but the Odyssey feels REAL compared to the “girlboss queen slay” shit. Him tryiing to force himself into normalcy#only to act out is...yeah.#save me morally gray circe#ask#anon#Mad rambles#tw sa#tw ptsd#tw sex assault#anti madeline miller#anti circe#essay
