#IT MAKES NO SENSE AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY HE DOESNT HAVE IT WITH HIM

[sunny-knight]

idk what dark forces compelled ANY of these, but take my Caine practice doodles that I made last night at 1 AM while listening to I Am Damaged and Seventeen from The Heathers Musical on loop

Keep Reading for extra doodles and zoom ins :3

I am not sure if you have already been asked this but I am really curious about why Vince took the decision of eating Rody, like what was his thought process, was it an impulsive idea or he was already planning something like this?

would you consider him as a cannibal or just someone who committed and act of cannibalism?

To answer the cannibal part he is but I think saying "he's not a cannibal" was originally to try and stop the interpretation that he does it regularly. Because he doesnt kill people and serve them to patrons, this is his first time doing something like this and depending on the ending he isn't the one to eat it.

But by the end of the game he's killed someone to prepare as a meal so it's about him committing this act rather than it being who he was from the start if that makes sense.

The Heart killers ep 11 stray thoughts

With accompanying screenshots, cuz I take to many and they can't just go to waste

Once again/still Keen just wants to be included. Now that he has seen Lilly will never see him as equel to his brothers, he is trying to get validation from Bison and Fadel.

Right, cuz you look like you're good at that. We will just pretend that we haven't seen your backbone turn into jelly when you're around Captain

Wait, so they didn't kill him. Where has he been this whole time, in between staging his murder and this scene? Was he just chilling with Nont in Fadel and Bisons kidnapping lair (which they apparently have).

He just knows a guy, casual .

He also just has a whole plan planned out. You'd think he was the one with the training in this shit, not Fadel

The look of concern in his eyes. Because of course, Style was able to spot the slight change in Fadels expression, indicating he was upset/weary/uncomfortable.

Doesn't he say younger brother (nong chai/shai [im not sure how it is written]) here, why would they translate it like that, this makes it seem like he doesnt see Fadel as his brother.

Finally somebody is giving that tattoo the love it deserves.

Facts

Also the first time (or one of the rare occasions) that we see Fadel with genuine, borderline crazy/psychotic anger in his eyes. He's usually the one to be more calm and

Oh, they're using their height, narrowing in on her, forcing her to look up, making her feel small. Stunning, just what she deserves.

-I love you so much; I'd give up my freedom for your safety

-I love you so much; I'd give up my life for your freedom.

Also, btw, 5 years of prison for the number of murders they committed, thats pretty nice. Of course, i wanted them to be free, but looking at it logistically, that is a solid deal

It does imply a timeskip, whomp whomp

Just give me a clear yes or no. Is Bison religious (christian, to be specific)? Cuz this is just a saying and stuff, but also putting it next to all the other christian Bison stuff we've seen, im starting to believe it

Ah, look at that. Fadel got his family (parent), and Bison got his little brother (Babe). These boyfriends are adding way more to their life then you would first assume.

Also, Styles dad immediately suggesting they get married as soon as he realizes they are genuinely dating it ao cute. He has/knows as lil casual-/subtlety as Style does. I guess it's genetic

Omg they are so sweet. Not hiding/secret but private cuz its their communication, their comfort.

I needed this scene to be like an hour long actually, just them cleaning each other with the garden hose, sweetly talking about whatever.

Right. I'm not surprised, I could tell Style was a bitter but like looking at his and Joongs laugh afterwards (and just the absurd inconvenience of it) I'm gonna guess this wasn't scripted, just Dunk. Which.. raises some questions, but we'll keep moving.

Dude was straight up beefing with a child

So he is either assuming hell die a natural death or he's killing himself. Cus i assumed he'd probably die on the job, get killed by someone, but that for sure requires there to be another person. I guess he could also be insinuating that when he dies, he'll be alone in the sense that he is leaving no one behind, no loved ones.

Idk what is sadder him thinking no one would love him when he died or him assuming he'll die by his own hand.

Are they at a graveyard? It doesn't look like it. Because, im not very educated on Thai law, but i can't think it would be legal to just bury someone wherever.

Style earlier the episode saying he'll die for Fadel(s safety) and Fadel saying he'll live for (/with) Style. God, i love them

Glad we are at least acknowledging the absurdity of it.

Are we talking (/joking) about Bison lactating? Cuz that would make that this shows second mpreg/omegaverse reference.

Forever watchfull Style

Forever considerate Style. Even with the garage to work at (and low key co-run) he is willing to give up time, just to keep Fadels dream/passion alive

Did Style fucking make a heart out of the sauce?! Why didn't we get a better shot of that, that is so cute.

So all the other boys his dad mentioned were just one night stands and situationships. Fadel was the first guy he actually wanted to settle down with. (Also, dont take this to mean anything, but it kinda mirrors Joong and Dunk. Joong having had an acting partner before Dunk, but splitting up under unfortunate circumstances, mostly out of their hands. Joong being Dunks' first actor partner, only having had a small unnamed guest role before working together with Joong)

Ive never seen to guys look so sad while eating burgers , like it was actually making me emotional. Cuz there was no big sad outburst or anything, just the everpresent underlying knowledge that this will be the last meal they'll get to share in a long time. Just the subtle sadness in their eyes and the little sniffles. I low key didnt expect them to be this good at conveying such subtle yet intense emotions.

The look in their eyes, i am actually so not okay

Not to be critical or anything but no way in shit that was done by an amateur. Like i get he'd have a pretty steady hand due to his training with guns. Bit not only does Bison usually hold his gun with both hands, it is an entirely different grip and requires such different muscles.

Yo wtf, I wasn't prepared for an emotional scene of just Kant and Style crying

This episode was just so full of cute scenes omg. I have so many notes that are just screenshots of a sweet scene or moment where the only comment I had was just saying aaahhw or some shit. And although I would love to share those with you, Tumblr has an image limit, so unfortunately, this is all I could stuff into one post.

I am a lil weary/concerned with how they are going to finish this all in one episode though. Like we have five years of prison to still cover and only an hour of screentime left.

Favorite scenes

Lillys confrontation was very satisfying

Style and Fadel cleaning eachother of after the paint fight ofc

Kant and Bison in the planetarium (specifically watching the stars)

Fadel and Style at the support group talking things out

Everything in Heart Burger, from the cute cooking together to eating through tears. Absolute perfection.

Kant and Bison tattooing eachother and just the sweetness of that all

And although their goodbye and Kant and Style crying in eachothers arms wasn't fun, it was a really good scene.

Also, there are no in-depth screenshot stats today (this post has already taken too long). Just know I took a total of 245 screenshots (funfact: that is actually more picture than I have of myself on my phone)

[worth-this-and-more]

[TW: sh mentions, violence] [spoilers for legendborn and bloodmarked, read at your own caution ;)]

so i've been rereading and trying to cover up all the legendborn content that happened while i pufff disappeared, and pardon me it is taking more time than i imagined, however i just wanted to start off with one pet peeve of mine

*rant incoming*

this might just be my unorganised thoughts or maybe just common sense, but sometimes you dont fully understand why a character did something; you have to sometimes to come back and read it again once you have that epiphany. it doesn't matter whatever tf they are doing, it sometimes just doesnt make that effect, especially on first read.

when i first read bree lashing out on greer and sar when they touched her hair, i didnt quite understand it. i thought its a cultural thing and moved on. now something about me, im a little fair, by indian standards. not completely clear skin and shit but im on the lighter side. so if im in my village, if im anywhere else wearing something with a bit of skin showing, i automatically get the comments "you're so fair" "what's your skincare" "so lucky" "you'd marry so soon" all that typa shit. and then come the unwanted touches, touching me on any exposed skin. and by any i genuinely mean any exposed skin. that's when i kind of realised why bree was so irritated when they tocuhed her hair, because people sometimes see our nicer features as free estate. and its annoying. and that is when her reaction fully made sense.

when i first read selwyn mesmered bree, i was so angry. i did not want bree to forgive him without him grovelling, ofc, but i also could not understand why he did that. what was his motive?? and why hide it from bree only?? nobody else?? now i've been in my low times since like years, not a big deal. got a lot of scars, some too visible, some not. i dont bother hiding it if im out in public where there's nobody who knows me or nobody who would care enough to ask. but if im with my friends, close people, i hide them all. and its just like valec said, its not to hide something its because of the fear of judgement. and that's when it kind of made sense why selwyn would hide his descent specifically from bree. she has bad experiences with mesmer, no doubt, but even worse with demons. it was a bad call through and through but one that is not unfamiliar. i dont hide my scars for my safety, i hide them because im ashamed.

and when nick killed max and then promptly disappeared into the woods, that was also somehow so out of character in my eyes from him. during grief and in the moments of crushing hopelessness, doesn't everyone want someone?? isnt the obvious reaction supposed to be him coming to bree, and not running away from her?? but that's not what happens yk. i once had a classmate who was not generally the type of person you'd want to be around. he was the type of person who has "trouble" spelt on him in flashing neon red. but after all, we were young, wanted to keep the peace, so i kept the decent communication. he would constantly invade my personal space, unwanted touches, unsolicited comments, it gets annoying. the last straw was when he tried to touch my best friend's schoolbag. i, in a moment of pure rage, threw him against the wall and actually started choking him. when the class managed to get me off of him, he was unconscious. in that moment my bestfriend came to put a hand on my shoulder, i visibly flinched and ran away from there and stayed in the washroom until school was over. this isnt as bad as beheading someone, but the response is familiar. of course he is going to go away rather than come closer; people whose love language is physical touch often have their hate language as isolation. i didnt hurt him purely because he tried to take my bestie's bag, i hurt him because i wanted to. nick didnt kill max purely because he killed his father, he killed him because he wanted to.

there's more of the events where we just kind of make this internal bias that we know what the character is going through and that we would definitely make better decisions, but can you?? do you really think you can or you're just overestimating yourself or underestimating the actual thing going on with the character??

i have made this mistake too, i know. i have taken some time to reflect back though and now i can say that yes i have made harsh judgements too. i am changing that tho because i've got a lottt of time to sit down and think and yeah i guess we all need it time to time.

what im trying to say is, things are not black and white. its a spectrum, there's dark grey light grey. it's a lot. and until and unless you are capable of putting yourself in that type of situation or closer, it's better to not make concrete opinions. shit happens and people do things, real life people are just that, people.

anyways this was a long rant i probably lost my point halfway through but okay whateva

[cookiedough77]

i was originally going to make a rant post about luka couffaine (GOOD STUFF I SWEAR) about how when he was first introduced that he was like "oh sorry im not good at words, im better understood with this *plays the guitar*" and like that was my initial thought

and i was upset that luka was also this character that was actually so good with words and it just didnt make sense to me, like why can we have a guy thats only good at speaking through music, not even lyrics just music notes

and then i went to go look at a clip of his first appearance to like get an exact quote and apparently he DOESNT say that he just says

"sorry... i tend to make more sense with this" and then he plays the guitar...

so safe to say im embarrassed that i even thought this... for... A WHILE... and i mean his character does make ALOT of music metaphors but like... THATS STILL BEING GOOD WITH WORDS... god im so stupid

this was never salt please dont take it as such

ONYX STORM SPOILERS

onyx storm spoilers under the cut you have been warned

okay so obviously there are a lot of theories on who the "new" brother could be. here are the criteria for the candidates:

knew all 5 months (key words: stumble and fall)

is the last person X would ever expect to turn

is missing at the end

someone who feels like they arent given enough (the basis reason as to why someone turns venin)

the candidates:

Garrick

Bodhi

Aaric

Ridoc

Sawyer

Dain

all 6 are 'absent' in the final chapter, or are simply not mentioned/seen by violet

Garrick

garrick being the new brother makes the most sense to me and is the person im leaning towards the MOST

first, he has known for all 5 months

is noted to be missing when Imogen asks Brennan at the end

has 2 signets, so at first people think he doesnt feel the need to be need more

HOWEVER

at the end of I chapter, when he walks away and she asks where he is going, he says he needs to figure something out to help and how he only has enough energy to go to Aretia but not back (nearing burnout)

a lot of people said he was channeling in the tower, but it said the landing below, so i believe a venin was attempting to drain the tower and G got them out of there in time

technically, he was the one (between him and B) who was watching watching X stumble & fall because HE would go with X when X had to go away to get rid of the red rings

saw someone say he hates venin and X read that intention, which makes sense for the 'last person id expect to turn' line

Bodhi

i promise im not biassed bc i dont want it to be him

he has known for all 5 months

technically, he wasnt watching X stumble and fall bc he was at school

he says he only has one signet, but he could be hiding (doesnt know X has 2, only V knows)

is against being X's heir, and wants to fight ('doesn't have enough')

is seen on hands and knees in I chapter, a lot of people think he was channeling

i think he was nearing burnout bc he might've mainfested

theory: he manifested storm wielding and was the one killing the storms, not Theophanie

but why is he not duke, why would X marry V?

X has been HINTING at marriage all throughout OS, it was very obvious

i think he decided to do it bc B was so against being the heir

B might be V's consort in X's absence

marriage to protect V's actions (i.e. knowing X was venin and to give her power politically as she is only a cadet)

i think he is recovering bc Cuir is gravely injured (hole in wing & deep chest laceration)

theory: X's chapter starts when G gets I & Q out of the tower, so realisitically only G could get to X in that timespan since X is south and they are in the town square (more north) bc X is OUTSIDE the city

Ridoc

didn't know all 5 months

didnt watch X stumble & fall

not seen at end but is prob there

eliminated

Sawyer

same reasons as Ridoc

eliminated

Dain

is seen fighting a wyvern w Cath by X's shadows

eliminated

Aaric

its unknown how long he's known, he could have known all 5 months bc of his signet

not said how long ago he manifested

last person X would expect to turn -> he's royalty, duh

is seen going south w his dragon

X is SOUTH on the cliffs

one of my favorite theories on who it could be

literally could have SEEN X stumble and fall

theory: he brought the dragon eggs to the isle's for an army

"Has Aaric manifested?" constant line in the book...

before RY said to look at whos missing, I thought it was Brennan because he's kinda guiding V to look at the ring and testing her memory, i think he def knows smth!

[socksual-innuendos]

I've always said that Raul's quest endings seem a bit misplaced/misdirected and I feel like it's time I finally get around to explaining why.

So, in reality, I think given Raul's backstory and the situation we find him in, the retirement ending doesn't make sense to me. Accept you're an old man and leave the gun slinging to the new generation....maybe, for someone who's actually long hauled fighting and not done scraps only when emotions ran high.

Raul makes cracks about being an old, grumpy man, and while we know ghoulification slows aging/he ghouled when he was in his 30s, "being old" seems like a red herring for his real conflict; isolation.

Raul isolates himself like crazy. We see this in his shack, his town wandering, the outskirts of communities, his "Old Miguel" persona. Even his sees-you-as-Her obsession with Claudia screams outside looking in. He craves community in some fashion and he denies himself it for several reasons. And honestly, denies might he too strong of a word here. The man has 2 charisma, he very well might not know how to integrate into a post apocalyptic society.

I say keep Raul's Ghost Vaquero end as one option, one that reinforces this outsider burden he holds fast to but gives him a new purpose as a ghoul in the post apocalypse, and the other end is where he ends up part of a community, realizing that even if his home and family have gone that there are ways to rebuild with others. More so, either toss retirement out the window completely or make it the neutral ending when the courier aquires him as a companion but doesn't complete his quest.

I still do like the idea of him seeming to think himself too old for things, but he should also self limit when being talked into a "potential" retirement end. Raul doesnt know what he wants yet, he's a pre war man who suddenly had expectations, tradition, and family knocked out of him in several large mushroom clouds.

Retirement sounds Correct for a man his age, even though the proper thing to do at his age is to be a century past dead. But he doesn't feel like he's of retiring time. His knees creak, and his back hurts, and this shit started before he ghouled because he was a man in his 30s who worked on his family's ranch since being knee-high and despite physically feeling like he could keep going, emotionally he has no where to put it.

There is this misplaced sense of self Raul has, where he was very likely not even the spare to his family's ranch (which, I will reiterate again. His family is well off to be running a horse ranch) but he had some inherent place in society via his relationships with other people. He grew up with enough privilege and social guidelines to get by with 2 charisma (assuming this wasn't skill degradation post-war). This would need to be rehauled not only after the bombs dropped, but once societies started reforming in the post apocalypse.

Anyway, I think Raul's two endings best fit him as

Ghost Vaquero, the vengeful spirit of Hidalgo Ranch. This is to work in such a way that it almost strip him of his current identity, taking on all the baggage of his loss and forming it into a driving force for bounty hunting. Actual justice results may vary.

Old Mechanics End. Raul allows himself to settle into a community proper, allows himself to aquaint and even befriend people, and occupationally becomes their mechanic/trade mentor with a bit of gun slinging as needed for town defense.

Which my last addition to this (i am ranting now) is that it seems hilarious to me that being multifaceted with mechanics and being quick with a gun was suddenly placed in an either or scenario. Raul is a boon to have in any community. Man can shoot and man can repair, literally perfect. It makes sense his vanilla retirement end doesnt allow him gunslinging because you basically damn him to depression routine but get him some SSRIs and a knitting circle and he can have his wrench and gun cake and eat it too.

I think the reason people believe chuuya would be the more open and affectionate in soukoku (as like. A romantic relationship) is because they believe him to be the mentally stable one and i think the reason people seem to believe he’s one of the few “mentally stable” characters in bsd is because he does not let himself be seen as vulnerable, and the few times we do see him go through something genuinely horrible and having a moment of vulnerability he does not really have the time to truly process it and ends up “moving on” pretty quickly (for example when he was at the flags’ funeral and adam interrupted him, or how when the sheep betrayed him dazai was immediately at his side trying to convince him to join the pm). And even if he does process it and thinks “man that was pretty fucked up wasnt it” it is never shown on screen so i feel like a lot of viewers end up seeing it as him not being bothered by these events and just a pretty chill dude that doesnt wallow in grief or self pity. But i think him never wallowing in grief or self pity is kind of a problem because in the end all he is doing is suppressing all that trauma and not really trying to acknowledge it, but at the same time when he does he ends up pinning the blame on himself (how the sheeps betrayal was his fault, the flags dying because of him). I feel like this impacts how affectionate he is too because he has built up so many walls that at the point when the flags make a party to celebrate the one year anniversary of him joining the pm he gets suspicious, then surprised and then flustered and tries acting like he doesnt care about it. All this is to say that i think him believing he cant show weakness and has to maintain the facade of being “the strongest” makes him seem like some regular degular guy (if he’s not fighting dragons) ends up him getting viewed as some mentally stable, communicative guy with maaaybe just a bit of anger issues when in reality he got so embarrassed by dazai’s corny speech in mersault that he shot him in the head with a gun

the master works discourse on twitter is killing me. none of these bitches understood the game or its characters AT ALL

[denkilightning]

thats literally all ive been thinking about while reading the dark island trilogy but especially part 3

because

really??? is that it??? is that it, mr. most unreliable narrator since the dawn of time????

i know ive fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole i dug out myself BUT

here are the facts

1. libber, cliff, clouse and everyone else were very much alive and had a chance of meeting at a point in time (serpentine wars/hands of time fighting)

2. clouse doesnt have a last name

3. we dont see libber fight in serpentine wars, only with the hands of time

4. clouse at chens order magiced krux and acronix into fucking up the alliance and all went to shit

5. we only learn of libbers existence in the season with the hands of time. we never hear from her ever again and get 2 mentions from jay who doesnt even know her name or what she looks like

6. clouses magic in dark island trilogy is strictly shown through purple lightning

7. we dont see libber in the scene where clouse and chen are sent away

so my conspiracy has 2 parts:

1) cliff and clouse are brothers/twins

CLIFF AND CLOUSE HAVE EXTREMELY FAMILIAR DESIGNS. like if i didnt tell you its two separate people theres a high chance one would think its the same person

furthermore they have the thing where almost every siblings pair we have have a similar naming convention/something tying them together

like nya and kai having three letter names and krux and acronix having the [kr] and -x in their names

CLiff and CLouse sound a hell of a lot like something youd name your twins

2) libber and clouse were close friends

i genuinely think libber met cliff through clouse because it makes way more sense for an elemental master and a dark magic apprentice to meet than an elemental master and an actor

on top of that after all these years of studying edo magic (magic derived from the element of earth) clouse still chooses it to form as lightning

So What I Think Happened Is:

clouse libber and garmadon (along with cliff idk being there ig) met and were in regular proximity with each other/were friends while clouse and garmadon studied under chen. garmadon went off to fight in the serpentine wars while libber stayed behind.

then chen makes clouse manipulate acronix and crux to continue the war.

for some reason (probably because shes pregnant cus im pretty sure kai was already born during the hands of time battle?? like itd make sense timeline wise?? and we dont see lily so cole is prolly born too even tho i know its said it was 40 years ago, timelines suck in ninjago) that makes her leave clouses side and fight the time twins

what then happens i dont fucking know except that libb gives birth to jay, leaves cliff and leaves jay in the junkyard

what i think happened is she was on the run from the hands of time and destiny itself. since apparently fighting fate and space-time fucking up runs in the storm-amulet family. personally i think shes become one with the sky the way nya did in seabound (BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK DO SEABOUND AND SKYBOUND HAVE THE SAME NAMING CONVENTION HUHHH)

so clouse was cheated out of a position he worked for years for, tried to redeem himself in the eyes of chen, only for his best friend to leave him (and fight by his arch-nemesis' side) and then directly because of what he has done have her die/disappear without a trace and none of the 'good guys' did anything to save her.

THATS a good reason for harbouring this much poison for garmadon, wu and his students. Thats a good reason to save both himself and jay from getting blown up in season 4. Thats a good reason for wanting the entire world in darkness.

because he lost his best friend and his only light years ago. because maybe from the darkness and purple lightning and indiscriminate power maybe he can bring her back.

hi so can we talk about how lightning is representative of evil and dark magic in ninjago and how it reflects on the elemental masters of lightning or....????

people bending over backwards to scream Marika never loved Messmer when he alone has more blessings personally bestowed by her than any other demigods combined are so funny to me. also the fact that it's implied he used to live in Leyndell too 😂😂

One of the biggest things that makes me see Leo as trans is absolutely the size of his carapace in comparison to his brothers’.

And I’m not talking about height! I’m specifically looking at his shell here, because when you compare him to the others, particularly Donnie who is nearly the same height as Leo, it’s very clear that Leo’s carapace is much longer in proportion to the rest of his body.

Like - standing side by side, even though Donnie is shorter his carapace ends noticeably higher up than Leo’s does. And I like this not only because it really helps push the idea that Leo could very likely be trans (or intersex!), but it’s also just a fun design difference between them.

(It also lends way to future scenarios of Donnie eventually getting taller than Leo, but sitting down still has Leo being the taller one haha.)
