#I'LL FIGHT FOR CONTROL

[cupcakesmoothie]

I'm going so insane about Kaveh's fansong I've replayed it so many times BLEEDING PAINT A SHATTERED HEART THAT'S WHAT MAKES A WORK OF ART

I think that Dr. Christina "I was an excellent soldier" Raynor needs to deal with some personal things before she's anyone's therapist, because she strong-armed more of Bucky's autonomy away from him than Zemo did within the series.

i have this fic series i'm still working on where mihawk sort of becomes rayleigh's kid and spends ages 11-17ish on the oro jackson.

shanks and buggy imprint on him (bugs considers him a sort of older brother figure/sparring inspiration and shanks has a crush that eventually turns into full-blown love) and this is how i imagine they're like on the day mihawk sets off on his own haha.

Sketches of that one scene from Prepare for Trouble

[hydrachea]

I can't stop thinking about Blade saying gifts are unfamiliar.

And I can't stop thinking about Kafka and Silver Wolf, hearing that, and making it a mission to bring him gifts whenever they travel somewhere for their script - even if he's there with them. About the confusion in his eyes when they steal buy something and turn right around to hand it to him.

About his room starting out completely empty except for the bare minimum necessities, a few spare clothes and what he needs to take care his Shard Sword, but filling up with little trinkets and gifts over time. Clothes and jewelry and perfume from Kafka and posters, figures and plushies from Silver Wolf. About them also bringing food back, expensive specialties swiped from a restaurant and the weirdest option they could spot in a lone vending machine, a category of gifts that doesn't leave anything behind (except the photos they both take of the three of them eating together, or of the faces he makes when Silver Wolf manages to trick him into trying a suspicious snack while he's distracted with polishing his weapon).

About Kafka spending hours finding clothes and jewelry she thinks would suit him, because that's her love language. She gets him makeup too, refusing to let his good looks go to waste. She knows he can't put it on himself, they both do, and he doesn't care for his appearance enough otherwise - but he'll let her do his makeup for him anyway, because she enjoys it, and because he finds it soothing.

About Silver Wolf also buying him clothes, but the ones she gets aren't his style at all, and just barely his size. She gets them for him, but just so she can steal them right back - her love language is quality time, and she fills Blade's room with gifts she can borrow along with a moment of his day. It still counts as a gift, she insists, practically swimming in an oversized jacket she swiped from his closet.

About how in another life, Yingxing gave gifts to the people he loved and in this one, Blade receives them from those who love him.

Every single adult who comes into direct contact with Lyra and talks with her for any period of time (and is not related to her): I only had Lyra for ten seconds, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Meanwhile, her bio parents: Excuse you, the only one who is allowed to horrifically mistreat my daughter and do unforgivable things to her and those she cares about, is me!

Gotta love that we have nearly all the named konoha kunoichi (minus Tsunade, Kurenai, and a few other even more minor kunoichi)

AND YET. the guys still outnumber them.

Still. 5/12 is still way more than we usually get (since it's normally teams of like 1/4 to 1/8 or so)

Wow the female characters ratio in naruto is absolutely atrocious.

my friend is adapting a book into a graphic novel, and so I was venting about how frustrating trying to read the beast and 15 manga has been. for me, the stylized art, while attractive at a glance, only shallowly engages in storytelling. instead, the artist seems far more preoccupied with (i) the aesthetic of individual panels and (ii) obscuring/hand-waving/distracting from the wonky perspectives, poorly designed panels, lack of movement/dynamism, and other technical inadequacies. if it was just a matter of the artist's skill falling short of their intention, that would be fine; but my impression is that there isn't any intention to work within the medium or engage in storytelling, and it deeply frustrates me because bsd's other adaptations have spoiled me by using the limitations and strengths of their mediums to expound on the story. by contrast, the 15 and beast manga struggle to tell any narrative, much less elaborate on the original.

but! I'm not an artist, and although I read a ton of comic books and manga, that doesn't mean I understand their technical components. hoshikawa's adaptations are also so lauded in the fandom, i also started to wonder if I wasn't just like projecting flaws onto it that didn't exist for no other reason than to be contrarian.

so i explained all of this and gave my friend my copy of the first volume of 15 to get their perspective. and after they flipped through a few pages, they were like the art seems technically fine to me. so I was like okay great I'm just being bitter then. and then they tried to actually read the panels, froze, and said, "oh." to which I was like, "the panels don't make sense when read together, right?" and they replied, "i don't think you can even call this sequential art."

which is to say, I've been vindicated, and what I lack in social grace, I have in metacognition and storytelling craft.

I've had this boy for an hour, and I'm ready for him to pick me up in his strong, heavy metal arms and carry me to safety. 🥴

I must protect this boy. At all costs. 💙

g*lmar rly has to be the best skajrim character on the real like even if you don't like him he just is . literally The best one i think......... on dat note i also imagine that he and ulfr*c despite being fairydust BFFs for lyfe genuinely have the worst communication skills ever seen

[sangrefae]

i Will say it's kind of wild that people are so willing to accept marcille + laios's flaws and understand that they're complicated and nuanced characters while kabru and ESPECIALLY toshiro are torn down and hated for.... being complicated and nuanced. wonder why that is 🤔🤔🤔

Will you ever preserve? //Will you ever exhume?

Will you watch petals shed

from flowers in bloom?

Nothing can live up to promise,

nothing can stop its narrative

Nothing in place of catalysts

－ and you'll never be pure again
