I've finally gotten around to finishing my batman tanktop Vox sketch! 😆

We are not the only ones that would like him wearing it~

when a character is so arrogant and full of himself he failes to see anyone's struggle but his own and assumes wrong things about others.

“Hakoda adopts Zuko” “The SWT adopts Zuko” “Hakoda adopts Azula” great great fine BUT WHAT ABOUT

Sokka adopting Azula as baby sis #2

Imagine the potential of her wanting her older brother, but he’s either not around when she realizes it, or she feels too guilty towards him to reach out.

But who happens to be there? Sokka. And he is basically the textbook definition of an older brother.

Honestly I don’t think he’d even question it if Azula came up to him wanting to talk or scream or just be held. He’s done it all for Katara before. What’s one more traumatized murder child to look after?

For another scoup of angst

Vertin visiting Sonetto every time it storms in the suitcase just to make sure she isn’t gone. They’ve been apart for so long and one of the last times before she saw her again was right before all of their friends were wiped away by the Storm, and the way Constantine is Vertin could never fully guarantee Sonetto didn’t upset her in some way leading to her killing Sonetto. Every time it storms in the suitcase Vertin checks that Sonetto still exists because she wasn’t sure of it for so long.

Όταν ο Φώτης και η Αγγέλα πηγαίνουν για φαγητό προσποιούνται ότι ο Φώτης κάνει πρόταση γάμου στην Αγγέλα έτσι ώστε να τους κεράσει το μαγαζί, no i will not elaborate.

The standout element of the Loki show to me is just how happy he is when Mobius makes him feel heard and valued. Like, how excited and animated he gets when he’s explaining things with Mobius’ salad? That teary smile when Mobius tells him that he can be whoever he wants, even someone good? The absolute anguish on his face when Mobius didn’t know him? How he didn’t know what to do with Mobius’ concern over his time-slipping? The way Mobius was willing to risk his life to help Loki when no one else ever has? The relief on his face when Mobius was okay? I will be crying now, he’s never had someone who valued and cared for him that much

btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.

The way some of yall mischaracterize Ratio as being stoic in chill when in reality he is 24/7 resisting the urge to rip everyone around him a new one is crazy to me like. He cares so much, so much. It’s unhealthy, he loses the idgaf war every time because Ratio is the least nonchalant person ever like

He was this close to breaking character and throttling Sunday like you cannot tell me he wasn’t planning a murder in this scene. Ratio straight up calls Sunday a crazy bitch but everyone brushed it aside 😭

Honestly his entire conversation with Screwllum is just him tweaking, watch it on YouTube the VAs performance is amazing, you can here just how much He Cares

Genuinely, Aventurine is way better at concealing his true feelings that Ratio. Ratio may be acting for the sake of the plan but the way he truly feels about anything he’s doing always seeps through, it’s why he apologizes to Aventurine in 2.0 in their staged argument scene. It’s why he is as mean to Sunday as he can be. It’s why him pretending that he “hates” Aventurine makes him act so silly. Ratio can’t fully commit to the bit, he can’t force himself to not care or to be someone he isn’t, because fundamentally Ratio CARES and that is something he is incapable of hiding, alabaster bust or not.

The problem is that him expressing his care is often done in a rude and/or blunt manner which people tend to interpret as stoicism or apathy when it’s anything but. Ratio’s vial that he gives to Aventurine is short, sweet and gets straight to the point, because that’s the easiest way for Ratio to express his emotions, even if it’s often detrimental for him and anyone else around him. However Aventurine understands him quite well, and knows that although brief, Ratio telling him to “stay alive, survive this and keep on living” is how he truly feels towards Aventurine, and that’s enough to keep him going.

Underneath Ratios carefully crafted marble facade is a man who cares so much and is so bad at expressing it and I wish the community in general, especially Aventio shippers would acknowledge that more. Ratios true moments of sincerity are brief, but they are anything but stoic. Let the man be soft, it’s in character.

regarding dr ratio's team join voiceline with aventurine

idk where it originated from but i've been seeing this notion that the ENG voiceline is horribly mistranslated and ratio is much more caring and friendly in the original CN. THIS IS LITERALLY NOT TRUE HE IS JUST AS BITCHY IN BOTH LANGUAGES

as a native chinese speaker i actually really love hsr's localisation and i would like to clarify the misconception + explain the cultural nuance/context behind this particular voiceline

i think this tweet might've been the original source for this misconception? op's translation of the CN line is very literal and completely lacking in cultural nuance. while the sentence 管好你自己 does literally translate to "take care of yourself", it lacks the automatic positive connotation that this sentence has in ENG. CN is a high context language -- aka the meaning of a sentence can be totally different based on context clues like tone, body language, etc.

ratio's tone in this line is not the tone of someone who is concerned for a friend. it's standoffish. when said in this kind of tone, the meaning of 管好你自己 is closer to "mind your own business", making the ENG "keep to yourself" a more accurate localisation.

in addition, the word 管 has connotations of controlling/managing something -- directly translating this to "take care of yourself" means it's missing a lot of important nuance.

granted, the second half of the line is a bit unnecessarily aggressive in ENG. the CN is more like "I have no need for your concern", and explicitly saying that he believes aven's concern to be "false" in ENG is definitely a lot ruder than the original line.

However. in my opinion it's not Too far off base. the way he emphasises the second half of that voiceline in CN carries an implication that he actually disdains aven's concern; we can extrapolate from context clues that he feels this way because aven's concern is just an act. tldr; eng line explicitly saying "false display" does make it ruder than CN but it didn't just come from nowhere -- the implication is already there in CN

this is not to say that ratio doesn't care about aven or see him as a friend. imo the reason ratio is so standoffish in this line is because any display of concern from aven here has the clear intention of teasing ratio. they both know ratio can take care of himself perfectly well. this is just how their dynamic works -- aven makes silly playful comments and ratio deflects them by acting cold.

in conclusion: ENG voiceline is not a mistranslation. hsr localisation is definitely not perfect but in this particular case i feel they've done a fairly good job of conveying the original meaning. thank you for coming to my ted talk

local man experiences a moment of rest for first time in entire fucking life

jean is to levi what armin is to erwin

everyone obviously sees how armin became "the new erwin" and took up his mantle after his death. hange stepped in as commander while armin was still growing up and getting used to his new abilities, but it would always be him as commander one day; whether hange died or they chose to step down. this doesn't really need saying if you paid any attention at all while watching the show.

what i want to focus on is how jean was next in line to "replace" levi if that ever became necessary. where erwin and armin were incredible strategists, levi and jean were incredible captains. they follow their commander as men of action and know how to read the situation and adapt to unforseen circumstances.

not only do jean and armin individually mirror levi and erwin, but both pairs of commander and captain work incredibly well together. we sadly don't get to see many instances of jean and armin working together in this way, but season 3 part 2 makes it so clear i'm surprised not more people talk about it.

erwin is MIA and armin is left in charge of his peers. the pressure gets too much and he can't plan a way out of it in the middle of the chaos, so he turns to none other than jean, jean who immediately get a grasp of the situation and starts giving out commands. you'd think they did this for a living how naturally it came to them !

was inspired to finally write all this out when i saw this art:

i don't remember if this is an actual panel that was just colored or entirely fanart, and i can't find who made/colored it but i'll add credits with a link when i do. if they don't want it reposted i'll remove it ! just wanted to include it as it's what set this entire rant in motion.
