Everything Everywhere All At Once became the movie of all time™ for me the minute they made Joy the antagonist. The minute Waymond said, “There was one jumper who stood out from the rest; but you pushed her too far. The pressure of it fractured her completely”, it was UP!

Joy was wreaking havoc across dimensions begging for her mother to see her. To see who she created. To force her to understand that the same potential that devastates Evelyn is the same one she inherited. To beg her to understand that if Evelyn couldn’t carry it, how could she?

A masterpiece. Sorry to the haters.

Summarizing Cale's Coping Mechanism in 3 Words (Meme Edition):

(lol not really no)

But this guy described his coping mechanism in the Sadness Test as:

The way to endure past sadness, loss, and this motherfucking memory…

It was not to stand firm without being shaken up by them. It was okay to be shaken up by these things from time to time.

And:

“I need to do my best from here on.”

He needed to do even better for his friends who had left him first.

A faint smile appeared on Cale’s face. However, nobody frowned after seeing the smile. Everybody could tell that it was a smile that was full of emotions, a bitter smile that appeared after a lot of anguish.

“I will find a way to persist if I keep doing that.”

Cale didn’t know the method of overcoming this memory.

He will simply persist through it for the rest of his life.

—Chapter 719: The Method to Enduring Memories (2)

This guy, who tends to either ignore his problems or make a bigger mess out of them, is so mature in this part. He acknowledged that he can't simply remain stoic and unmoved in his grief. So the next big thing is to acknowledge what he is feeling, do his best and then he can persist through it.

I'm so proud of my boy.

I'm bringing back this random crack genderbend idea from 2 years ago bc I can 👏👏

I love to see how much the Zaundads/moms parallel their daughters/sons like this lmao. It's also cool and cursed to imagine the story being focused on brotherhood more instead of sisters.

I also got inspired by other design ideas I found, so of course I couldn't resist drawing my own 👀✍️

I mainly had fun imagining the slightly different designs and how Vi would turn into the most basic ass male character ever 😭 (still a badass softie by heart though) + Jinx proceeds to completely obliterate male gender norms 👍

[strigital]

do you mind? i'm very busy imagining spawn Astarion with the ability to polymorph into a bat and his darling druid tav who wildshapes into a raven both swooping through the golden and purple evening sky, ebony feathers gleaming in the setting sun, red eyes reflecting the first evening's stars, two winged creatures in love doing saltos and dancing in the clouds, falling down wings tucked in only to unfurl them mere inches before hitting the surface of the sea, causing the water to splash with the gusts of air from their wings, only for those falling droplets to reflect the sunset perfectly and create a magnificent rainbow that bat!astarion and raven!tav fly over - a rainbow bridge into a new tomorrow, a future free of worries, full of love and new possibilities.

then the sun sets, the stars come out and you watch a raven and a bat flutter off into the horizon, cawing and squeeking with glee. you don't know that these animals are soulmates in disguise, but something about the way they dance and zigzag through the purple skies tells you: they're in love.

happy.

free.

do you ever think about the fact that sera's adoptive human mother convinced her AS A CHILD that a total stranger hated her because of her race - to protect the woman's own pride, mind you!! it wasn't even true!! racist AND self-absorbed!!!! (which tbqh the venn diagram is a circle) - and the ramifications of sera cutting herself off as soon as she starts to say, "i hated her, and i hated- (myself)" and how ungenerously the fandom interprets her pain and makes it all about their picture perfect elf oc. because i do.

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that

Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to

Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!

Albus: I cut my finger and it's bleeding. Abeforth: Just put some pressure on it. Albus: Albus,looks down at his finger: If you don't figure out your shit together then you'll never amount to anything other than your father's muggle hating son or that daft boy that fell in love with a dark lord. Abeforth: Wait——

Dropping this and RUNNING 🏃

(As usual, click for better quality!)

Welcome welcome to one of the characters of the camp camp multiverse me and my buddies are making for fun! This is "Deity Max", the Max of universe Seven, and he was born of me pondering about how canon Max cannot swim and has explicitly said he hates musical numbers. So of course I had to do the funniest move I could ever pull: giving them water god + siren powers 🙌

YIPPEE I finally got around to drawing him out. Hear me out guys hear me out—I have put this man through so much bullshit /pos

A he/she/they/it queen and king and everything in between, he can and will kill you if bothered

His family has become "royalty" of sorts in the eyes of their little multiverse. Their colors are greens and gold, and their signature mark of nobility are golden leaves, which Max often wears as embroidery in his outfits, as a bracelet or necklace, or a crown in certain events.

Max's main abilities involve growing in size, moving their hair like an octopus' tentacles, manipulating sound, and waterbending. At his most powerful, he is able to carry oceans across universes!

I don't want to infodump on you, poor reader, any longer hahehe. But if you do wanna know more, or if you'd just like to chat, let me know!

I love how Uta is possibly Luffy's most mentally fucked up sibling even when she's competing with:

the guy who finally accepted that he was loved and started wanting to live during his own fucking execution

the guy who crushes skulls with his bare hands and whose mental stability probably depends on Luffy (also fandom often calls him clinically insane)

meanwhile Uta is over there practically commiting suicide and taking 2/3 of the world with her because of her abandonment/daddy issues and being told how fucked up the world is every time she streams for like 1-2 years(?) after only being in contact with one person for like 10 years. also after doing the streams for a while and vowing to rid the world of The People Causing All (or at least most of) The Problems (pirates), which her dad belongs to, she finds out he did not actually do the heinous things she thought he did before abandoning her.

no, that was a demon (or something like that) possessing her so it's more her fault than his :)

but she's already in too deep with her plan on how to make the world a better place and he still abandoned her so might as well go all in right? :)))

and so the killer coffee mushrooms are eaten and the show begins :)))))
