#THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TRIO

[notcryingtoday]

The missed opportunity of making jason/reyna/octavian a "triumvirat" is crazy.

(They're soldier, poet and king but changed roles the entire story)

(I'm the biggest fan of morally complex Octavian)

hello HI GUYS. some doodles for you all yis eheh

(close ups below <3)

[listlesswhistle]

AAAAA im thinking about Ingo in Legends Arceus again. They really fucking did that. Im so insane about it, like-

Okay. So. You have this preestablished thing in Pokémon called Fallers. Basically its people who fell into the pokemon world from an entirely different universe. Sometimes theyre alternate versions of known characters. The one thing they all have in common is that they remember nothing from before they fell.

With me so far? Good.

Now we move onto Legends Arceus. Here we are, some hundred or so years in the distant past, exploring the wonderful land of Hisui when, hold on, is that Ingo? The train man? You're in the wrong time period, my guy! And what's that? His memory's gone? Damn that sucks, alt-Ingo got a real shitty deal when he Fell. Trains haven't even been invented yet smh.

Anyway, case closed. Just another Faller making the best of what they have. Cool, but nothing new, lets move on right?

Except. Maybe not.

You see, this "Hisui" region has a little bit more going on with it. Its actually the ancient version of the modern day Sinnoh region, and theres all kinds of fun little details tying the two together: location names, area themes, little nods to Sinnoh myths and pokedex entries, the whole nine yards. Huge gen 4 nostalgia trip. Theres even a bunch of characters that are just blatantly ancestors of important DPPt characters. And you betcha the pokemon match as well!

Yeah, thats cool, but what does this have to do with Ingo again? Weelll, turns out, two of those gen 4 pokemon makin a comeback just so happen to be the gods of time and space. And things have gone a bit fucky with them.

There are these things called "space-time distortions" going around, popping up all over the place, sitting there lookin like big, spooky soap bubbles, and spitting out objects and pokemon from all over the timeline. We're talking dinosaurs and data viruses. Because of these things, Porygons technically existed before the computers that birthed them. And while its never explicitly stated that they're how Ingo got there, how else do you suppose the New Yorker ended up in feudal Japan?

"Alright, that makes sense, but didn't you say he lost his memory? Isn't that kinda a whole thing with fallers?"

Oh yeah, right, thanks for catching that! I guess this was a bust after all. Time travel's not exactly new to the pokemon universe, and it doesn't usually cause memory loss, barring extenuating circumstances. (Ingo didn't turn into a pokemon, so I think we're safe on that front) This isn't even the first time Dialga's gone mad, actually! He must really be a Faller then. I mean, what are the odds that Ingo just tripped into a random space-time distortion, only to run into something entirely unrelated that just so happens to be well known for erasing memories, perfectly replicating the symptoms of a Faller?

Buckle up, this is where things get interesting.

So, when Ingo faceplanted in Hisui, he got picked up by this group called the Pearl Clan. They're this native tribe that worships Palkia, but like, under the wrong name, and they think Dialga's a false version of their god worshipped by these other natives, and they're actually kind of both right, except not, because they thought the were actually worshipping the creator god, Arceus, and it's this WHOLE thing. That's not important. What matters is that they picked up Ingo. Just. Remember that. Pearl grabbed Ingo.

Now, aside from the two big gods and their good ol' poppa Arceus, there's actually another trio of minor gods who took care of smaller business. Relatively. They like to rest at the bottom of three lakes spread around the region, and each one represents a certain gift they were said to have given to the world: Uxie, God of Knowledge; Mesprit, God of Emotion; Azelf, God of Willpower. When Arcues made them, the went out, did their thing, gave their gift, then went straight to bed in their lakes, where they stayed for... pretty much ever. Yeah, these guys are actually pretty chill. Apparently theyre tied for highest base friendship out of all pokemon?

Getting back to the Pearl clan, their camp in the Alabaster Icelands is actually pretty close to Lake Acuity! Way closer than any other settlements are to the lakes, at least.

I know what you're thinking: "What does ANY of this have to do with Ingo's memories??" Well, there's one more thing we need to cover about the lake trio. Y'see, there's this little myth about them, hidden away on a shelf in the back of modern day Canalave library. As calm and relaxed as they usually are, its easy to forget that they're still gods. Powerful gods. Direct decendants of Arcues themself, embodiments of the very gifts which they gave unto the world. The myth goes that, should someone be foolish enough to raise their hand against the lake gaurdians, they would quickly find that those gifts can be taken away.

Harm Azelf, and find yourself as still as stone, drained of even the willpower needed to move. Touch Mesprit, and find yourself in a pointless world, drained of all emotions, joyless and empty.

…Look into Uxie's eyes, and find yourself lost and confused, fallen into a world unknown, without even the knowledge to find your way back to a home you can't remember.

...Yeah

Hisui is plaqued by Distortion, ripping creatures out of their proper Time and Space. Uxie makes their home at the bottom of Lake Acuity, just outside where the Pearl Clan makes camp. The Pearls found Ingo alone, no memory of his past, no evidence of how he came to them.

So you see now. How I might be a little obsessed.

Oh, are you still wondering if he's actually a Faller or not? Well…

I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA!

This was the first game he appeared in since Black and White 2, and he hasn't been mentioned since! His story is never expanded on!!!

He's probably? not??? Unless he fell out of an ultra wormwhole and into a distortion?? And the ultra beasts couldn't find him??? They literally NEVER hint at a possible cause for his arrival in game, I think. We're just. Left. With this.

What the fuck.

let it be known that i love prince inigo with my whole soul. however sometimes it is SO much fun to think about owain and his two most loyal-est knights you ever seen: worst guy in the world #1 and worst guy in the world #2. i love retainer inigo and severa so much. retainers who bully you and make fun of you and trash on you but they’d leave behind everyone and everything they ever knew to follow you and protect you in a whole new universe. they love you so much that they’d swear allegiance to total strangers but that loyalty pales in comparison to what they’d do for you. and they were all lovers!!!!!!!

[duckwnoeyes]

I wish I was a Xander hater, and don’t get me wrong I see the vision, but I physically cannot hate this man. His friendship with Buffy and Willow means so much to me. Truly hand in unloveable hand. Him and Buffy being so terrible at conflict resolution so they end up yelling at half the time but loving each other anyway. And then Willow turns into someone neither he nor Buffy can recognise, and Buffy comes back from the dead wrong, but he’s still Xander and he still loves them :(((. I love Xander destroying everything he touches, his implied family abuse, the way he feels like a failure at everything, his insane amount of Hawaiian shirts, how he and Buffy bonded over sucking at high school, how much he loves his girls. I love Xander Harris guys I’m sorry I do.

I can't help it, the show's just funnier through the lense of "terror lieuts including jopson are all crozier's kids"

Thinking today of henghill on some cold planet, one like Jarilo-VI or wherever, and Dan Heng getting his tongue stuck on some metal part of Boothill's VSKJSNSJD

Like Dan Heng is stuck to his neck, so Boothill has to pick him up and carry him to try to sneak them around to somewhere warm to thaw his tongue out. Don't worry, poor Dan Heng is just tired, that's why he's carrying him like this, no no he's fine don'tlookthatcloselybye!!

(Also Boothill is carrying Dan Heng bridal style. Obviously.)

And now, I get to show you all @hydrachea 's newest blessing upon this ship, because she took that and RAN WITH IT-

Crying imagining Dan Heng still stuck and trying to throttle Boothill to keep him from talking anymore JSJIZJSKKE

I'll always love these nerds

ID: A digital drawing of Misa, L, and Light from Death Note. L is sitting on a single red sofa, holding a cupcake in one hand, and holding pink, heart tinted glasses over his head with the other. He's looking up to the side at Misa, wearing his usual white shirt and jeans. Misa is sitting in the right arm of the chair, turning to look at L. She's holding a cupcake in one hand; her other hand pointing to glasses on her head that match L's. She's wearing a black halter top adorned with a modified harness and chains, a red plaid mini skirt, fishnets and fingerless gloves. She's smiling brightly at L, seemingly in mid-conversation. Light is handcuffed to L, standing behind the sofa on the other side of Misa. He's wearing an open, plum shirt over a black tee with jeans. He's rolling his eyes, pink heart sunglasses hanging from his shirt. A cupcake is on a plate, resting on the arm of the chair in front of him. The wall behind them is covered with paneled pink wallpaper with hearts and diamonds. END ID

the terukane development still blows off my mind because what do you mean akane considers himself telling teru to go away while he's on a date with aoi an ooc thing. I grew up in a time when "hearing sorry from you is creepy" was legit his most normal and calmest response

ashamed to admit but I'm still there. my mind is still there. and then I watch in pure horror how akane caresses teru's back

[transmasc-malleus]

im so ill she should have been able to fight xemnas with us

[extracurriculargrief]

Mox being interim trios champion isn't the same as what the BCG wanted to do by claiming the four of them were champions and I think we should stop pretending it's remotely similar.

[bietrofastimoff23]

I love the scene of Aegon's coronation. if the creators wanted to make the greens look pathetic in that stupid scene with Rhaenys, who decided to demonstrate her moral superiority by killing hundreds of citizens a second before, then they did not succeed. literally no one was particularly impressed by this shit, everyone just stared at her, staying in place. and even Alicent, scared to death, showed courage and stood in front of her son, looking danger in the eyes. tbh, this team has valyrian steel balls.

the thesis of Black Sails is apparently that bisexual polyamory will destroy your life but god it's a beautiful thing while you have it. also that Charles Vane will fuck your shit up

[doctorweebmd]

on my third reread of zero sum game and all i can think is to ask how it feels to have accurately predicted afo/ofa twins, deku losing his quirk, becoming a teacher and then bakugo helping him achieve his dream regardless. ur mind bro ur mind 😭😭😭😭😭

THIRD TIME?! W H A T hello let me love you 😭😭😭😭 but also, like.... are you okay? (are any of us okay?)

Okay like before the manga ended I’d answer that with something a bit more dick-ridey like ‘any predictions I wrote are only because Horikoshi did such an excellent job of planting seeds and foreshadowing’ but after he biffed the ending all I have to say is:

helllll yeahhhhh zero sum game supremacy THE ONLY TRUE BNHA ENDING IN MY HEART - horikoshi WISHES he had what i got

what does it feel like to be outwritten by a FUJOSHI WEEB i offered my consultation bro you could have had it all but NOOOOOOOO
