...weird amount of dunmeshi fans have been saying being a caretaker in a relationship is the worst thing ever..marcille must want to killl everyone soo bad because doing things for people suuuucks sooo muchh
it's an act of love, not just a job i promise. we all want someone who's willing to take care of us in some way, just like how senshi shows care for others by cooking for them :'|
#marcille donato#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#laios touden#falin touden#chilchuck tims#izutsumi#delicious in dungeon#this is also about kabru and mithrun stop focusing so hard on how it was ‘forced upon’ kabru as if it’s the most evil thing in the world#they took care of EACH OTHER during that time and mithrun wasn’t doing nothing#people are so weird about him and reduce mithrun down to his disability as if he isn’t CAPTAIN for a reason#it’s sooo insane#try thinking about how their time together serves the themes of the story rather than a biased interpretation#of all the things that happen in this manga people focus on the weirdest things to apply to real life#people try to construe is as something evil with evil intent as if it’s not there to benefit the THEMES of the story#woah a huge...heron? just landed on a tree i've been staring at it for like 10 minutes its pretty#dungeon meshi spoilers

I saw The First Shadow last night and there's so many thoughts but I have to debrief with my friend first. So I'll only provide this thought: Karen Wheeler bisexual queen confirmed.
Also spoilers in tags bc I couldn't help myself but discuss a lil bit.
#Her characterization was so ?#But that part was like. Yeah for sure.#Im confused about the duffer bros acting like this is canon bc it gives background on the mystery that we wouldn't otherwise have#Which seems like a lot to give only the people who would have access to London's west end?#Like I don't think the love interest needs to come up but the idea that there's someone puppetting Vecna#Like he's just been so corrupted by this thing#Rather than that the evil is him#Kind of like how Will has something dormant in him#S4 implied it was Vecna#But this play implies it's something in Vecna and probably Will#Which is confusing#Like ik they love a plot hole but#Either this play will not line up with s5 or they just really decided to screw with us#Because the play itself also felt like a lead up to the mystery#Like it wasn't fully satisfied. It hinted at more we don't know.#Hm!#Also why do all this background on how Jane was taken as a baby to then imply in the play that she arrived as a child#And then to also be like#No it had nothing to do with experiments on adults. It's just that Henry's blood was transfused into everyone#Don't you dare hurt my babies season 1 and 2 like this. You can make it work without hurting them.

How did this thang become my art muse for 2024.
#the expanding brain meme but it's gradually realizing that one of Grubba's biggest victims is himself#he's still evil but he's WAY more entertaining if you see his actions as ''for the good of the Glitz Pit'' rather than just all for him#when you hear him talk in his office he's very much a sad scared and paranoid old man who's doesn't ''want'' to kill Mario but ''has to''#he's 60+ years old and he's got 100 mental illnesses#Grubba#sketches#Paper Mario#TTYD#Paper Mario TTYD#paper mario the thousand year door#the thousand year door#Super Mario

sudden yearning for time travelling teen jiang fengmian lands at lotus pier fic that winds up being about a perfectly nice kid having a varying series of "oh no. i don't like that. that's a lot" reactions.
#i think in order for this to be satisfying i have to give grace and interiority to teenmian#i'm picturing an older teen like 18ish? maybe even early 20s?#big crush on csr he's already pretty sure isn't going to work out#but at least he'll always have wei-xiong#anyway this is my ploy to give jfm a chance at an ugly crying meltdown#he's trying so hard to be even keeled and like#maybe take this as an evil vision designed to teach him something#but somewhere in between my crush stole my man and then they died#my whole sect burned#my grown ass son who is older than me making the vibe sooooo weird#and my grandson! child of my dead???? daughter??????#is just like yeah he never talks about you. no never never#and then wwx blows into town and idk somehow they all end up at dinner together and jfm politely calls lqr a punk ass bitch in front of lwj#because what???? context clues suggest lqr has the fucking nerve to not like wei xiong's baby after All That#only for adult son with the weird vibes#to imply only filial piety is keeping him from naming the real#punk ass bitch#anyway this ends with jfm crying because clearly he marries yuanyuan and she HATES HIM and then his own son ALSO HATES HIM#and would rather stupid Lan-er-gongzi#be his dad.#if you like lqr so much why don't you just join the lan sect then?????#and that's how jc learns he didn't get it all from his mama#jc didn't mean it he was stressed! this isn't his dad it's an a-ling sized kid. but it's still stressful

kathryn janeway my favourite heroine of a greek tragedy
song is alt-j - philadelphia
#something something about finally becoming bigger than life. which must be a rather lonely thing to be#show changed my brain chemistry so bad that i had to open an editing software. NEVER AGAIN (working on another edit already)#full disclosure i do ship j/c and j7 simultaneously bc i enjoy being evil#ahhhh i have so much to say about janeway...#esp her in tuvix!! i hate how this episode is spoken about. tuvix and how janeway dealt with him is such a good metaphor of how she is goin#to get more desperate and willing to take questionable decisions to get her crew to safety. and i loved how they paralleled kes wanting#neelix to return to crew wanting to get back home#ahhh i love this show#my friend who knows about voyager only from my yapping watched this and thought that janeway hugged seven and not jaffen#i call it yuri kuleshov effect#star trek voyager#kathryn janeway#my post#chakotay#seven of nine#j/c#j7

mdzs tumblr post au but it’s just “what were you doing at the devil’s sacrament” (nightless city)
#i’ve gotten there in my reread and while wwx def didn’t have good intentions *going* there#(he did want to vent his anger; ‘they finally attacked first!’ etc)#frankly i don’t see it as any different from a battle they’d initiated#(and also the actual thing WAS actually a battle they iniated even if wwx was waiting for that to happen but ignoring that)#it was a pledge against him and one with intention of attack#jgs literally said ‘and tomorrow we’ll scatter the ashes of the rest of the wen dogs and the yiling patriarch wei ying’#whether he meant it literally or not doesn’t matter bc at some point they *were going to attack*#and everyone there came to sign up for that right? everyone was prepared to face wwx in battle already right?#and if they WEREN’T prepared to do that and were just there for reputation points THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE#THAT’S ON THEM#so no they weren’t planning to be attacked BY wwx but they WERE planning to attack wwx which should be the same thing#the only difference is who has the advantage of surprise… which they were planning to use to their advantage#so regardless of wwx’s intentions (and their impacts on his morality if you care about that)#i do NOT think it’s fair to say he killed x thousand innocents/unprepared people/sth along those lines#that battle and those casualities were going to happen anyway the only difference was when#(and the only reason it IS painted as such an evil act rather than some heroic battle is because by all metrics wwx won)#so yeah 3000 cultivators… *what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament*#mdzs misc#mdzs

So after a year of saying I thought Earthspark was one of the best transformers cartoons they'd ever made... nothing about what I've heard for season 2 makes me want to see it.
#What on gods earth happened#Starscream losing all this development#and back to being a generic maniacal villain#who kills kids??!#after the exploration of his trauma and him getting a hug from a kid previously#Nightshade being relegated to the background#And someone noticed they haven't used Nightshade's pronouns once#just referred to them by name#The Decepticons being evil just cos rather than being treated with sympathy#what the fuck is going on#I don't want to see any of this at all#Transformers#Earthspark#Starscream

i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.
like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.
whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.
the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.
its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.
#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3 spoilers#minthara#minthara baenre#before anyone comes at me and says that halsin is allowed to have his prejudice and his trauma. im not saying hes not#not sure about someone being allowed to have prejudice but yes thats part of human nature i guess#my point isnt that hes not allowed to react like this#my point is that hes wrong.#sure he can be struggling with his trauma and his prejudice over minthara being a lolth sworn (even if shes not anymore)#BUT. at this point we as a character /know/ theres more to her. we know that hes making an unfair assessment of her#which is even more jarring if you're a drow/lolth sworn drow#and at this point. you've saved the grove youve saved him youve helped him break the curse. he tells you its a debt he cant repay#and that hes so thankful. but he wont trust you or your decision. he won't even attempt to#and u know what thats fine. he doesnt have to. but if you're siding with him you're condemning her. you're killing her#if you side against him. he can go back to his responsibilities as an arch druid rather than leaving it in someone elses hands (which was?)#that is the lesser of the two evils here#yes you can call minthara the 'evil' character because shes a lolth sworn but thats just buying into the prejudice halsin is showing#and its wrong#anyways. my point is good for him if he wants to demand you make a ridiculous choice#but turning her away is the bad choice and tbh i feel like the game wants u to know that#and sure if you want to boil it down to which character u like more than the other and u prefer halsin. ur obvs gonna side with him#but in that case u probably wouldn't even get this conversation#because why would u have bothered to spare / save minthara in the first place?

of fucking course the best, most harrowing, most gut-wrenching tugs character only appeared in one episode (a bit of ramble in the tags)
#this is tugs#tugs boomer#tugs sunshine#boomshine#<---- evil sinister laughter#fortezza bigg city#senjart#I think he's neat. I also think a bottle of antidepressants could help with whatever hes going through#okay I'm gonna talk for a bit about boomer (mostly about his canon counterpart rather than solely his fbc version)#boomer's character struck a deep chord within me that when rewatching jinxed while sleep deprived I got so scared#his depression? thoughts of sinking himself? claiming that he didn't want any help yet attempted to push just a bit longer when supported?#putting his worth on how useful he is as a machine first? an individual with selfism second? thus deeming himself as a lost cause?#and despite his jaded sardonic demeanor he genuinely cares about others and puts their safety before his own?#like mannnnnn come ON no wonder I couldnt stop thinking about him#his struggles as a clinically depressed person is.... so real?#he says ''I don't want any help'' but he clearly does want AND need help. he goes along with TC and sunshine's hijinks of helping him#gradually went from ''whats the point I'm gonna jinx it anyways'' to ''Ive tried so hard I really have but I cannot. I never had a chance''#he even went ''okay but don't toot'' to TC before his final job! he's entertaining TC and sunshine's theory! he really does want help!#boomer's whole character screams “I want to live but I don't know how”#and man oh man I feel like s01e10 reached out of the screen and drove a stake through my heart#because it's so visceral. it's rang true with my personal experiences#it's so sad. it's probably because I'm sleep deprived but I want to take care of that poor orange thing so badly#boomer most likely thought his final job to tow the schooner will end badly as usual but with how he sounds way more upset when he failed-#-and how he even went ''I can't be bothered to argue anymore''. I have a feeling there's a tiny speck of hope inside him-#-that quickly died out the moment lightning struck and he got towed by the fire chief#and of course he's upset. hes tried so many times to find a way to get rid of the jinx but now? it's as if he's given false hope-#-and the thought of the jinx leaving is something akin to a fairytale. as long as he bears the name ''boomer'' and not ''captain harry''-#-he is doomed to this constant cycle of messing things up when its not his own fault and having other point their fingers at him#that is until he got refurbished into a houseboat (essay material for another day)#theyre never going to write another anthro vehicle character like this anymore . sad

can't get behind the "what if curlfeather secretly killed jayclaw" theory/hc for quite a few reasons but one of them is that it reminds me of those Evil (insert character here) AUs that dominated the fandom on youtube a few years ago where they just make characters kill a bunch of people over the flimsiest possible reasons to amp up their Eeeeevil factor, and while that's all fun and good but kind of boring in an au completely detached from canon it frustrates me to see it brought into like. the actual fanon for a character
#like I bet there's absolutely going to be a misconception among fans that haven't read asc that she killed him#and I'm sorry she can absolutely be an interesting character with an indirect kill count of 1. She's way more interesting for it in fact#I'd personally much rather she be girl mudclaw than mapleshade 2 electric boogaloo#you don't need to come and suck all of the remaining nuance or greyness out of her with a hoover#this isn't true for the “what if reedwhisker was her dad” hc btw I like that one I think it enhances canon deliciously#rather than resting most of her evil on something she didn't even fuckin do

To me, one of the most baffling changes the donghua made was making it so demonic cultivation is actually what caused wwx to snap. The book's "wwx snapped after witnessing his clan die, being thrown in the torture pit for 3 months, participating in a war, getting isolated from his family, and suddenly becoming responsible for a clan that's being actively persecuted and the only safe place is the aforementioned torture pit. Wwx doesn't let anyone know the full extent of his pain, so everyone incorrectly assumes the demonic cultivation is what's making him act up. Also Demonic cultivation is the one the one thing letting him keep his illusion of control and power, so he lashes out against people like lwj who are trying to take it away from him" just makes more sense to me and is also more consistent with the idea that resentful energy and the study of it is morally neutral
#mdzs#wei wuxian#I just find the lack of evil demon juice more interesting#i use demonic cultivation throughout this because thats how its translated in english but i am aware he's not actually a demonic cultivator#things morality being assigned by society rather than inherent nature is such a running theme throughout mdzs idk why they'd ignore that#also hate that they had demonic cultivation being like this evil thing pulling him in instead of something he put a lot of thought into#bro was basically a mad scientist in the books#also the entire present timeline doesnt make sense if demonic cultivation is actually evil#mo xuanyu's body is doing fine

like i'm trying to find the words to explain why i found don juan in soho to be so profound and interesting but all i'm coming up with is "they stabbed dj in the dick and when he comes back up to do the curtain call you can see the blood on his pants 10/10 attention to detail and commitment to the bit"
#don juan in soho#david tennant#sorry. evil casanova got to me. i don't know#IM KIND OF SO OBSESSED WITH HOW DJ DEALS WITH THE TICKING CLOCK COUNTING DOWN TO THE END OF HIS LIFE#HIS RECKONING WITH HIS MORTALITY HUMANIZES HIM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE#BUT LIKE STILL#DOES HE WANT TO DIE DOES HE HATE HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE IS OR DOES HE JUST NOT GIVE A FUCK#HE WANTS TO LIVE AS HE PLEASES AND WOULD DIE IF HE CANT HAVE IT#SO WHAT DOES HE WANT TRULY#DOES HE HAVE A HEART DEEP DOWN OR IS THERE NOTHING THERE#IM CRAZY#WAS WHAT HE DID TO ELVIRA A BREAKING POINT FOR HIMSELF AND THATS WHY HIS SUBCONSCIOUS CRIED OUT TO THE STATUE#WAS THERE A SECOND OF HIS APOLOGY TO HIS FATHER THAT WAS GENUINE#OR DOES HE NOT CARE AT ALL#WAS HIM KEEPING STAN AROUND WITHOUT PAYING HIM BECAUSE STAN IS THE CLOSEST THING HE HAS TO A FRIEND#AND HE WANTS TO IMAGINE THAT STAN IS STAYING FOR HIM RATHER THAN HIS MONEY#OR IS HE THAT CASUALLY CRUEL TO THE ONE PERSON CLOSEST TO UNDERSTANDING HIM#HOWWWWWWWW MUCH IS HIS LACK OF AUTHENTICITY LACKING IN AUTHENTICITYYYYYYYYYY#HOW MUCH OF IT IS CRUELTY AND HOW MUCH OF IT IS SELF HATRED#CHARACTER OF ALL TIME HE SUCKS SO FUCKING BAD IN NEARLY EVERY WAY AND I'M ENRAPTURED#if i were stan i would stick around purely to try to study him like a lab experiment#ok

Every day I get closer to making an unhinged behemoth of a post listing all of the things about Kaeya and his possible connections to mythology & stuff that I notice but NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO BRING UP IN THEIR THEORIES
(edit: OMG I reached the tag limit I'm so sorry)
#genshin impact#kaeya alberich#kaeya#kaeya theory#genshin impact theory#the unhinged behemoth of a post would also include all the reasons I DON'T think Kaeya is up to anything nefarious#if I see 1 more “kaeya will betray us” or “kaeya is allied with the abyss” theory ISTG I'm gonna break something#also WHY. WHY IS NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY MENTIONING THE POSSIBILITY THAT#EVEN IF KAEYA IS WORKING “WITH” THE ABYSS ORDER#IT'S AS A DOUBLE AGENT?!?!!?#LIKE HE'S GETTING INTEL FROM THEM FOR THE PURPOSE OF FEEDING IT TO THE KNIGHTS OR TO DILUC OR SOMETHING#AND HE'S ALSO STABBING THE ABYSS ORDER IN THE BACK#IT'S A SNEAKY TACTIC THAT'S NOT EXACTLY HONOURABLE AND PUTS HIM VERY MUCH IN HARM'S WAY BUT IT'S FOR THE SAKE OF KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE#HOW IS THAT NOT THE MOST KAEYA THING EVER?!?!?#WHY AM I SEEMINGLY THE ONLY ONE THINKING ABOUT THIS?!?!?!#I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS#also why is no one bringing up Kaeya's possible connections to king Arthur???#I mean HELLO?! secret possible royal lineage raised as a ward/foster child/adopted child of a noble family alongside an older brother?!!#and why aren't more people talking about Kaeya's connections to Lord Krishna???#again spirited away from his actual family to be raised in another family alongside an older brother figure who has less chill than him???#not to mention peacock feather imagery and being pitted against an evil uncle#if you believe that Clothar is Kaeya's uncle rather than a direct ancestor#there is so much more I could bring up and I'm not even an expert in any of this nor am I the best at research#but I should probably save those for an actual post#plus I don't want to flood these tags more than I have#I have so so so many things to say about Kaeya#he lives in my heart rent free he makes me feel and think so much he is truly the most beloved of all my beloveds#truly the blorbo of all time for me#if even 1 person expresses interest in all my theory-esque thoughts on Kaeya I will have won at life#this is an invitation guys please ask me to talk more about kaeya

Broke: Damian is bad at being a Robin because he's too violent
Woke: Damian is bad at being a Robin because he's afraid to hurt people
#obviously it's always funny to do the whole 'what do u have there Damian?' 'a knife!' 'nO' thing#and like make him a horrendous and silly evil gremlin who can and will pull a sword out in the middle of a parking lot to fight#but listen#he doesn't like the assassin background that much and once he learns about like The Normal World he's honestly in anguish about it#that's canon! that's the truth! (right?) (the whole thing with Goliath?? I'm not making it up right???)#i think he's just the kind of guy who loves his swords because they're what he knows and they're a strong connection to his family#but I think it's nice if he spends his time on field telling others what to do because everyone else learned to fight the OTHER way#(by defending and subduing opponents rather than maiming and killing)#so he prefers to take on a tactician general role despite being perfectly capable as a fighter because he knows what everyone else needs#to do to succeed in fights - especially when things are a bit of a mess - but is afraid to be too rough or scary or violent or Demon Son-is#(the things that make him feel like he doesn't belong in a happy civilian world - WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.)#in this essay I will explain why this allows for him to show awe and love for each of his siblings' fight styles by utilising all of them#and I just think Dami Babs and Tim could really work together as a detective/tactician comms team (with varying distances from the field)#because I think that'd be so fun: Tim is solving (mid-range) Babs is watching/providing supports (far) and Damian is commanding (close)#because the others are like The Bruisers (in their non-lethal way) who trust themselves to only hurt as much as is needed and are good at i#PLUS babs is SO stretched thin and literally the backbone of the bats so I just want a future where some of the kids become HER robins yk#anyway back to the point of the post:#it's kind of alluded to in 2017 supersons; EVERYONE in it comments on how Robin is JUST doing flips and shouting orders#and jon is like The Muscle and the one Doing Stuff - but Jon IS following orders 85% of the time and it works out well for them because#that dynamic of 'I'm not sure I can do it right by myself and I trust you to be my partner so we can do it right together' really#is my favourite like.. they're both filling these ideas of who they're meant to be and they just :( they just seek their own path together#oh no I lost the point again immediately and it became another WHY DO THEY SEPARATE THEM rant#I just think it's really fun to think of Damian as 'the most well trained fighter but ALSO the most likely to step back from a fight'#like yeah when we add in my thoughts on pit rage it adds some angst but that doesn't matter here in THIS post#have I even talked about my hc on pit rage/madness? I don't think I have LMAO (maybe another day)#anyway it's late I'm tired why do I always chat in the tags so much#my posts are literally all in the tags 2% post 98% tags smh#damian wayne#damian al ghul#damian al ghul wayne
