#I yap abt him a lot

[zekescherries]

zeke's sense of purpose / worth

- we all know that zeke grew up in an environment where his parents placed a duty upon his shoulders at a young age.

- since he basically grew up with this special purpose, this burden and the sense that: "my parents say that i am this important thing/person so i need to act like it." i think he definitely grew up as a people pleaser.

- but i also think that in the same breath he lost the opportunity to give himself a meaning/purpose, he never got to figure himself out so if he ever lost that purpose that was provided to him by his parents, he'd be completely lost.

- zeke thinks nobody understands him because nobody else was given a special purpose like how he was given one.

- being responsible for freeing your people from discrimination, fear and generational oppression is a lot, especially if you're starting at SEVEN YEARS OLD.

- as much as zeke says nobody understands him/what he's doing he never gives anyone the benefit of the doubt, he never opens up, never says anything to anyone.

- why? because they wouldn't even be able to understand his pain, but i also think that zeke can't express himself in that way anyway.

- he grew up with emotionally distant parents, dina & grisha probably didn't even know his favorite color, if he had any at the time.

- he couldn't be vulnerable with his own parents so why would he be vulnerable towards a "friend" who can't even understand his pain anyway?

not everything has some special meaning or significant, sometimes things are surface level and that's ok. it's okay for things to be ordinary, it's okay for you to be ordinary.

children are not mean't to be saviors, they're kids. if anything, they're the ones who need saving.

you are more than what someone says you are, you decide for yourself what you want out of life. (which is peaking into existentialism, i'll do an analysis on that with zeke one day)

I’m gonna end my yap session here so it's not too long

My take on Voryn Dagoth A nice guy, responsible but soft and understanding leader. Deeply cares about the affairs of the House which isn't always easy to tell because of his ever-calm face.

Quickly bonds with people he likes, just like Nerevar, so they clicked with each other the very first time they met. Plus a bonus sketch of the two uhhh discussing Resdayn politics

KURT ART GO! Sí, sí, y más. Another art dump. Close ups. VVV

I love fuzzy Kurt but I can't draw it well for my life :(( some Gambit and Rogue to heal the soul btw. They're in love ok ok? Btw beared Kurt in the sketch dump is my phone lockscreen, just calling myself out. And my background is the doodle of myself fawning over him aksjdkj. No shame.

Also have no idea how to draw Kurt consistently rip. Sorry to anyone who tries and cares to read all the random notes, idk why I do that, but they're not important ajskjsk.

Lost the dates drawn, but idc bc they are recent.

short & stout rose And awkward and gangly dave >>>> i think rose would move with a ferocity like she could accidwntally bump her elbow onto the corner of a table and the table would crumble . dave posture’d be so rigid that he’d fall like a tree and shatter like glass from a light breeze

My personal headcanon is that Pony got his love for reading from Darry. When Darry was in high school he’d read the books he got in class out loud to Ponyboy and straight up just handed him some of the easier ones so they could talk about it later. In my brain the reason Ponyboy clings onto it so much is because it’s one of the things he and Darry REALLY bonded over when he was a kid and it just brings back good memories of when they got along better.

dolph was always meant to be doomed; something of an analysis

i'm on my third rewatch of captain laserhawk, and on this one i've been focusing more on the little details that you don't get on your first or even second time watching it. i've noticed little things, such as pey'j helping and then going on to shield a hybrid who's dressed similarly to jade in the third episode. but i've also noticed bigger things, such as alex and dolph.

keep in mind that this show is just filled to the brim with political messaging, it was purposefully designed that way. so when someone mentioned on here that alex was an accelerationist, it explained a lot. we don't know much about alex in terms of his backstory, we only know he helped dolph after dolph attempted to mug him and they ended up falling in love. it's also implied that alex and dolph have been repeatedly reported on the news as terrorists more than we've seen, with rayman referring to them as being the usual suspects when the kaiju attack happened, despite dolph literally not even being there when alex did that shit. they're known to do this shit, and we know alex is a charismatic guy. it's not too far fetched to say once or while dolph was falling in love with this gayass white saviour saint that alex talked him into this shit for alex's own purposes. because yes, he has a cause, but he's also a bit in over his head, maybe with power. he's aware of the power he has over dolph, how he actively uses the 'i love you' card multiple times when they're together and when they're not together. he just had a bit too much confidence in his hold over dolph, but to be fair, alex, you were topping some indulgent mob boss for your cause (because let's be honest of course your sources would be tight if they were being fucked for it) then continued fucking said mob boss and got caught with your dick out by your ex who you think you can get back with. alex uses people as tools, he just doesn't put his shit in the right places at the right times.

i'm getting off track, but the point i'm getting to is that alex most definitely saw dolph, a man who clearly has some jacked up eden tech smacked onto his twink ass, at his lowest, and picked him up like a shiny new toy. he was always going to use dolph. but how come dolph is so easy to use? he's starved for kindness. he's the stray dog that comes up to you at restaurants to act all nonchalant because 95% of the time he gets neglected, but the second he gets offered scraps, he shows how hungry he is. we don't know much about his childhood, and what we do know is under the lenses of literal eden propaganda. we do however know how people get like underneath the hand of eden.

everyone say thanks to rayman, who concidentally, is dolph's foil. both of them worked under eden as their lap dogs, one as a propagandist and the other as military, but dolph had gotten out of the hold the propaganda had on him while rayman's barely shaking it off. both of them are also portrayed as poor little tragic immigrants and the impoverished stand ins both in universe and story wise. they're the feel good picking yourself up american dream stories that people can feel inspired by or feel proud about the country with. dolph had a photo with a kid holding a doll of him. before he became ex military, he was definitely the guy they paraded around as a previous lost cause that eden helped. red, who's as political as his assigned colour, bitches about identity politics in that one off line for a reason. he also jus hates brown people fr he kicked me down a flight of stairs

now we can assume that dolph had picked himself up out of the propaganda machine somehow. he realised he was used and he didn't want that shit. he's attempting to get himself his own life, for fucks sake. he jus happened to get lead on by the wrong guy, which then lead him to get used by eden AGAIN. this time not only in a physical way via soldier work, but emotionally too, with sarah easily manipulating him with what? a sob story and helping him out, maybe being friendly with him along the way.

he wants a normal life. he wants a goddamn normal life. he jus continues to be selected as a tool.

you can see how fucking starved he is for kindness. you ever think about the fact that in his dream life, he sees jade and pey'j? he knew these people for less than a week, yet they get a place in his dream life. most notably, jade gets a speaking role in his dream life. the only other person who speaks, besides marcus, is alex, someone who had known him and shown kindness to him. jade has also shown kindness to dolph. she's the friendliest face there in the ghosts, being the first one to check on dolph when he wakes up, offers an explanation to him, and also makes an effort to include him in her little shenanigans with the video and all!! dolph was all emo alpha wolf and all, but despite his constant cold shoulder, she was kind!!

there was someone who was more than kind though; bullfrog. because bullfrog actively looked out for dolph, despite his constant pushback against bullfrogs advice whenever they weren't separated. and in the end, it's bullfrogs kindness and compassion that hits dolph the deepest. dolph gets out of his depressive state to go back for bullfrog. he cares about people, he goes out of his way to do shit for the people who show him the slightest bit of kindness. he backed up sarah after one good conversation with her to marcus for fucks sake. dolph is just a guy who keeps getting used though. he's so loyal to anyone who looks his way that it's a fatal flaw that ends up with his head blown up. he's a shakespearean tragedy at the moment. i hope in the potential season 2 that he gets to have more moments where he gets to be his own person. not defined by an organisation or a person or a cause, but what he chooses to define himself by. he's on his way there. he jus deserves to be allowed to live for himself. after all, he has already met his end of that story. he can make a new one.

anyways if u reached the end of this im down to discuss this :D i also did get a few points from other people on here, but let me know what u think nd all

hi outsiders fandom ive been lurking for awhile so heres a little doodle dump. maybe ill post real content later (ik these r lame but ive been in an art block n randomly got motivation to draw so we're working w it)

im currently rehearsing a production of the outsiders play so thats what is fueling my fixation rn 🔥 i have a feeling a lot of my content (if i post it lmao) will be at least inspired by the play more so than the book just bc thats what im focused on rn so yea little disclaimer 😊 if u see me post art of the gang n they all look incredibly different from their book/movie counterparts its bc im gonna base designs on our cast bc projecting is fun 💥 these drawings were half based on the book/movie and half based on our play so. theyll probably change tho as we work on the show. ik this isnt rly relevant at all i just felt like rambling abt our show bc im hella excited. also i play pony so ‼️ the amount i will project on him will be crazy

Hi! Sorry for notification spamming you but wanted to tell you that your TROD tags made me lol, I LOVE your art so much and I’m interested in your AU too. Anyway, love your blog!

P.S. maybe I missed it but you said somewhere that your Narinder was pretty messed up for a few years post revival. Could you give some more details on that? Did he try to hurt them? Who had to take care of him, the lamb? What’s been the downstream effects? Basically, how is this cat still messed up lol.

dont be! everytime i get a notification i go yuppiee!!! im glad you enjoy my art :DD

okay okay its prime yap time under the cut oof i love my fucked up cat sm

Lambert, mainly, took care of him! They made sure that every comfort he needed was provided and were worried out of their mind the entire time. Their disciples helped watch over Narinder when he was unconscious, just so he wouldn't bolt the moment he awoke, and Witness Allocer stitched some of his wound and prepared a special painkiller blend for him. (in my au the high priests, aka the mini bosses, and the witnesses were very close to the bishops! Allocer made the same painkillers for Shamura as well.)

Okay so obviously his wrists and ankles were pretty fucked up from being chained for a thousand years and he's got a lot of internal damage as well bc some of the chains went through him (og Stychu hc that I adopted bc it's so good). Also just general wounds from the final fight and the unfathomable pain of shrinking down from his godly form.

Upon being spared, he did attack them in a post battle adrenaline and hate fueled delirium, right on the indoctrination stone and not only broke his arm (bc he put too much weight on it), but probably gave himself a heavy concussions by slamming his head on said stone seconds after the break happened lmao. After waking up in,,, just a Haze of agony he tried to get up and run away bc he was scared that the lamb would just keep him existing in this special Purgatory and shattered his opposite calf so there's that as well. Unlucky tbh

He bleeds like,,, constantly. All of the time, for literal years on end. From his eyes mostly, but also nose and ears and he throws up ichor a lot in the beginning as well bc his body is adjusting rapidly to being smaller and there's just No Space for the ichor to go, other than out. He’s constantly exhausted and spends a lot of time sleeping, and is very frail physically, if snapping two bones by simply putting weight on them didn't make it obvious enough lol

All and all not a great shape to be in, but! His wounds aren't actually what caused him to be bedridden for so long. It was the fact that he no longer saw himself as a god while still being one and suffering injuries befitting of one!

His body/the Red Crown isn't healing him as much as it’s literally regenerating parts of itself while he suffers everything that comes with that, alongside being out of the Veil/Gateway for the first time in forever and emotionally dealing with the deaths of his acolytes and the supposed betrayal of the one he allowed himself to trust after his family. In fact, Narinder barely heals at all for a while bc he was just mentally stopping the process. And also unconscious for a lot of it.

The other big reason is that god hearts are a great power source, but his heart has been in Lambert's chest since Silk Cradle. So he is Struggling ™ but he’d actually rather die than take his heart back he’s a simp like that smh

After he inevitably breaks and he and Lambert finally talk, he gradually starts seeing himself as a person again and his healing process gets easier. He still has chronic pain for his joints but eventually everything else heals alright :3

On a side note, his siblings bleed excessively and are disoriented for the first couple of days but are ultimately fine within the week. They are kind of horrified to learn that their brother is STILL struggling with the side effects of his imprisonment

FINALLY someone who throws shade at taiya too

i'm not alone

I'm holding your hand in solidarity anon I'm glad you get it too

I just think he's bland so far! he doesn't have much of a personality aside from "likes to help" and "coolheaded"

I'll cut the writers a lil slack bc it feels like he's hiding/repressing something, which may explain his aloofness. mans didn't tell Mira and Jou the boonboomgers were ACTUALLY created for the Big Bang Grand Prix and not crime fighting, they find this out via Genba blabbing abt it

He seemingly only fights crime and delivers things bc its a hobby to him (I'd go as far as saying he's a thrill seeking adrenaline junkie but that's neither here nor there)

And he's been super tight-lipped and cagey abt his past. like not only does his team have no clue what his deal is, we THE AUDIENCE don't have a clue either. he won't even tell Boondario anything, his supposed closest friend

Both Shirabe and Sakito have recognized this suspicious behavior so there's no way the writers aren't building to some kind of reveal

All this suspicious behavior paint scenes like this one with Sakito in a totally different light. not as him offering a genuine helping hand to a clearly very traumatized and hurt individual but as him finding a new "toy" to play with

BUT I'd also say he's not outright malicious in his intentions. maybe he's just got his own baggage from his own traumatic past making him act like this. that remains to be seen
