What can I say? They're my favorite.

#twdg #twdg clouis #clouis #twdg clementine #twdg louis #sometimes they creep back into my mind and i'm like 'ah yes' like a crow admiring a pretty stone they found years ago and kept #also thank you pi for the screenshots. i used to have a whole folder full of them but that was when i was doing themed nights #the source for these is me i just have a random document full of dynamics and ship things i enjoy because.....i dunno i like keeping track #and so many of them apply to clouis but there's also an overlap of with clouis and rose/alistair [my warden from origins and alistair] like #alistair's romance route is like an evolved matured and extended version of clouis sksksks gee i wonder if i have a type #look you present me with a character who deflects with humor and isn't taken seriously by the rest of the group and the longer you know the #the more you realize how high they've built a wall around themselves and how *unwell* they really are and how they're not as sunshine #as they present themselves and also they avoid leadership and responsibility until they grow closer with someone who pushes them #and they end stronger and more balanced as a person while finding the affection they've craved #and also there's the daddy issues #present me with that character as a romantic option and i'm in no questions asked okay i don't want the mean broody one that's meh to me #i want the one that has every reason to be broody but chooses not to be because they have a completely different defense mechanism #and a warped sense of themselves and self-esteem issues they leave unaddressed until forced to face them #i'm just saying i'm aware that i have a type i'm always going to gravitate toward clouis nearly checks all the boxes #also the lack of clouis these days? my crops are thirsty and i have too many ongoing projects to do anything about it other than this sksks #so until i make time to finish my long ass louis/clouis analysis this is the best i can provide for now

Ice: Have you ever read something so explicit that you feel like you need to go to church and wash your eyes in holy water?

Maverick: Send it to me.

Ice: No, you're in a meeting.

Mav: So are you! And you're the one reading explicit things during Cain's rant, so don't you give me the eyebrows of judgement from across the room. I see you, Ice.

#ice googling new ways to rail mav in the middle of important admiral meetings #he's just as bored of the politics as mav is #ice is just a bit better at hiding it #they're one step away from sexting in a meeting #slider made the mistake of reading Ice's messages over his shoulder one time #never again #incorrect quotes #top gun #icemav #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #ice hates admiral cain almost as much as cain hates mav #he is the king of passive aggression toward the drone admiral #Ice's eyebrows of judgement are famous throughout the navy

#p4 #persona 4 #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #EVERYDAY IM HOWLING. EVERYDAY IM SCREAMING.#for context this comes at the heel of yosuke charging at mitsuo kubo in rage because of his flippance towards killing saki and he's hit har #but souji and kanji jump in to protect him #like ok a lot of things going on here such as the obvious OH MY GODDDD yosuke being yosuke and taking things on for himself #because he doesn't want to bother people?? because he's made it his own responsibility? because his survivor's guilt is still lingering?#i mean don't tell me he doesn't look at how he surrendered to his shadow like apart from his self-sacrificing propensity #i low key feel like everytime yosuke demands answers about saki's death from the murderer/god/etc there's this undertone of how #he would rather it have been him #he cheapens his own life so much and for what #BUT ALSO!! ALSO!! not just souji jumping in because we know he would he's down bad for yosuke BUT ALSO KANJI #listen you've all heard me talk so much about how i adore kanji yosuke friendships #i can't really tell whether it's kanji or souji that says “haven't we earned your trust yet” but it's a line that hits SO HARD #regardless of which one of them was saying it and i think it hits hard in slightly different manners #it's kanji's admiration and how he looks up to yosuke and how he wants to be closer to yosuke as a friend/kouhai/whatever you want #tatsumi “who's your partner now!” kanji has so much respect for yosuke he wants yosuke to rely on him too!!!#and this stands out because kanji is very conscious of social hierarchies and such but as a kouhai as yosuke's junior #he's so specific about wanting yosuke to treat him as an equal #i smtimes feel bad for kanji because he has a bit of that vibe of a poor puppy trailing after souyo because he wants to be in their convos!#he wants to be included! but critically he also just! wants them to SEE him!!#going a lil off tangent but i think kanji's attitude towards souji is very much one of kouhai respect like he understands his place #of like deferring to souji or getting advice from him and just generally regarding him as a reliable mentor #and it's the same with chie and yukiko? but idk man. with yosuke. guys. with yosuke i always feel like kanji wants to break that hierarchy #that convention. that social norm. to cross a line and be closer to yosuke.#he's more willing to tease yosuke in a way he doesn't with the other 2nd years. and this isn't coming from a place of disrespect either #AGAIN. KANJI REALLY LIKES YOSUKE. he wants to protect yosuke!!! he jumps at the opportunity for yosuke to rely on him!!#i'm getting delulu but there's those hints of “yosuke senpai i want you to see me as a man!!!” kind of energy here and i'm it's yknow hmm

I've started and deleted three drafts now trying to get my thoughts into a coherent recommendation, but there's just so much.

Let's start with the basics: You should read the graphic novel if you're a fan of the original show. You just should. It's new content of your old faves, and I'm telling you now that the art and writing are great and that you should give it a shot based on that alone.

But as for exactly why I'm losing my mind over it this much...?

It... feels like watching the show. But a version of the show unafraid to explore its own worldbuilding. A version of the show where continuity and character growth matter. A version of the show without jokes written by people far too old to understand mid-2000s teens.

And it is actually, honest-to-goodness funny. I went in fully braced for a badly shoehorned "fruit loop" one-liner, and instead I got incredible deadpan asides like this:

The art, too, manages to perfectly ride the line of looking enough like the original style to be convincing, but improving on the expressiveness of the characters' faces and actions to elevate it to something arguably better than the show:

(Like, I'm being so serious when I say the fight scenes are among the best I have ever seen in comic form. I'm the kind of person who tends to go for anime over manga because the fights are harder for me to follow in little sequential snapshots, but I can tell exactly what's happening in these battles AND they still look super cinematic and cool.)

And the story. Man, the STORY.

I won't spoil any of the plot here, but it's... really good. A little winding and goofy toward the beginning, but once things get serious, it really grabs you and refuses to let go til it's done. (Much like the best episodes of the show! Funny how that works.) It has a satisfying conclusion, but it also leaves a massive door open to continue telling more stories in the setting.

And I want more stories in this universe. The threads being dangled here might be even more enticing than those left by the original show. There is potential here for an INCREDIBLE series of comics.

We just have to prove how badly we want it.

If you can't buy the book yourself right now (it's relatively cheap for a graphic novel--I think it was about $15 even with tax from my Barnes & Noble), then please at least let other fans know it exists (I wouldn't have had any idea if not for tumblr) and keep the hype going on social media. I'm stoked to see that DP is trending on tumblr, at least, and I hope the same is true elsewhere. It's a small thing, but it's something corporate decision-makers take note of.

Fingers crossed we get to see more someday. This is one series that deserves to come back from the dead.

But, whether or not we get that continuation: welcome back, Phandom. Congrats and happy release day. 💚

#Danny Phantom #DP comic spoilers #(BARELY spoilers but I did include the images so :/ )#while I'm rambling in the tags lemme say one more thing as a slightly more niche endorsement:#since he's on the cover it's not a spoiler to say Danny's evil future self from TUE plays a big role #I am happy to report that despite the blurb on the back of the book calling him ''Dark Danny''--as all official sources do--#he is instead referred to in-universe exclusively as ''Phantom''#I think that single detail goes a LONG way toward showing just how much this author truly *understands*.#she really is one of us. on the fandom's side and not the corporation's.#this is a project made with SO MUCH admiration for what made the source material special in the first place #and for how the fandom has interacted with it since #it's... it feels awesome. I was so worried this book would be bad or mediocre but it's genuinely a labor of love and I'm so happy

I can and will develop unhealthy parasocial completely one-sided relationships the likes of which you never seen before

#so usually this is towards celebrities of some sort so it doesn't really matter #they are so far away i can write fics about them and reblog fanart like they are characters #but sometimes it is about far more real/obtainable people #and usually those people are fellow fandom members which i know cringe whatever #but they are still so far away in a bubble containing only to their own circle that it still doesnt matter #maybe at most we are mutuals or reblog stuff from each other and that's the extent of it #but ohh when the parasocial relationship becomes literally a person whos one text message awat #thats when my brain gets all fucked up #vent #side note: if you think my vague posting is about you no its not chillax #the parasocial goes from admiration to envious really quickly and they are both just as nonsensical

You’re gonna die if you keep that up (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Kayako #And Teisel's there technically #*Die again - he's sticking with his track record lol at least he's consistent #Ghost/Curse GF arc!! I enjoy seeing ZEX happy but I am Concerned for him lol #ZEX be attracted to something/one that won't brutally murder him challenge - difficulty impossible #His affection for the grotesque and monstrous - I mean while it's admirable he does regularly put himself in dangerous situations!#Runs solely on the Suspension Bridge Effect lol - attraction and fear so conflated in his mind <3 #I keep thinking of his human instincts as specifically Max's instincts since it's his body - Max's self-preservation and fear and hunger #Which ZEX dutifully ignores lol Max's body tells him to bolt and privately replies like ''Yes yes in a moment'' haha #His fascination wins out! To his own detriment haha #Although I say all that as though I don't relate in my own way - I have maybe just a few too many notes relating to ZEX lol #It's always been hard for me to get into horror in the way it's intended to spook and scare because I tend to get sad :')#So many monsters and ghosts and creatures are victims of circumstance! Like Kayako! As she is here she's not even malicious just dangerous #I've never seen the Grudge so it's only speculation but it seems very sad that she was tethered as a Curse rather than a malignant spirit #Like a battery moreso than an individual - what a terrible after-existence! It makes me sad to consider!#ZEX reaching out to her in his own way is very sweet <3 He's so biased towards his darlings hehe #In a way being human does suit him - we'll packbond with anything that Might have even the slightest inclination to not maim us lol #And the way he personifies her! (VUXonifies her?) Reading intention or emotion into her actions with no proof and no understanding!#The way he ''tries to read her face'' as if he hasn't been struggling with that this entire time - with other humans who can tell him so ♪#His pride is so delicious <3 He is so easily blinded to his own shortcomings in the face of pleasure and the potential for connection!#It's no wonder DAX worries about him so much hehe ♥#It also always makes me so happy to have something fit together so perfectly like those last two hehe <3 #That vine didn't exist when this happened! But there it is!! I love newer memes on older media hehehe ♪♫

Dilf Giyuu 😵‍💫😵‍💫

#just imagine Giyuu #dropping off his baby at daycare #so many of the caretakers swooning over how handsome he is #thinking he’s a single dad #him holding his baby and being so loving towards him not helping them swoon any less #it doesn’t help that they’re identical either #adding to the cuteness overload #but then you show up with him one day #and they all get so sad that he’s taken #but that doesn’t stop them from admiring and drooling from a distance #hhhrrgh #selfship shenanigans #crimsonkenjii art

zhuhou or jiankong food for the jttw requests please?

Oh mY GOD ANON ILYSM RN!!

My laptop died though and I couldn't find my charger so I had to draw them in trad 🤩 I might redraw some of these and make them better lawl 😭

Zhuhou doodles (the first one is like...very old lawl)

And jiankong <33

#one-sided jiankong is my shxt #zhuhou #jttw #Journey to the west #rel'sart #aka Erlang's unspoken admiration towards Wukong turning into a crush (help)#but Erlang is having none of that shxt #HE CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A DAMNED YAOGUAI! ONE WHO REBELLED AGAINST HEAVEN NONETHELESS #BUT ANYWAYS PICTURING ERLANG REALIZING HIS CRUSH ON WUKONG AFTER THEY BATTLED LMAO #IT'S SO FUNNY LMAOO #CUS LIKE...I LIKE TO IMAGINE THAT ERLANG MET WUKONG AT FIRST WHEN HE WAS BAIMAWEN RIGHT.#and uh Erlang didn't really think much of Wukong. He thought Wukong was just some monkey #but then #Wukong proves him wrong when he wages war against Heaven and the monkey even gave Erlang Shen a hard time in battle #wukong was able to do what Erlang Shen couldn't #aka defy Heaven and to be proud about who he is #and that's where the admiration comes from 🙃#Erlang might resent Wukong for making him feel this way #and Erlang would also be mad at himself #and when he burns Flower Fruit Mountain Erlang feels #relief #because he knew that Sun Wukong would not forgive him for CENTURIES to come #and he burnt down that possibility of him and Wukong ever becoming a thing #cus c'mon man #Erlang burnt Wukong's home #how else is Wukong gonna feel lmao #edit: I forgot that Erlang did defy heaven once. By freeing his mom from under a mountain. Still #he'd have that admiration to Wukong for not giving into Heaven's pressures

I have several wips that contain Rauru, and I feel stuck between two interpretations of him. There is the one that leans into his naivety, that he truly believes in his own sense of justice and goodness. He really believes in the sanctity of the shrines that he set up with Sonia, and truly seeks out friendship with the other tribes in his alliance. His basis in confining the Zonai’s great power to himself is out of a true belief of his own morality and sense of goodness, that he would never misuse his power because he knows he’s good and kind and he believes his moral judgement to be unshakable. There is still a sense of arrogance to him, but it is based in the naive belief that because he was raised as good and he thinks himself as someone good that he is incapable of doing any true wrong.

My second interpretation doesn’t stray too far from the first, but the difference is that Rauru is more knowing. His belief in his own morality is not based in an inherent sense of goodness, but in the knowledge that he believes that the Zonai are a superior race. He wants to preserve peace in Hyrule, but does not believe that its native tribes are capable of doing so without the guidance of a Zonai and their power. It is a sense of superiority and pride, disguised under the veneer of gentle words and grace, that guide his actions in Hyrule in establishing his kingdom. He does not entertain those that would challenge him, quickly demonstrating the superior might of the Zonai should anyone challenge his rule so that they may see why his reasoning makes sense.

#do you have something different?#I lean towards the latter tbh #I think it would be #a lot more interesting in facing his hubris #when it is one of the people he looked down upon that overpowered him #admiral’s log

riku’s whole series-spanning journey of redemption and trying to become the hero he was supposed to have been is kind of interesting to me. bc he like hardcore beats himself up over what he did but it’s not even the worst thing he did. yeah he gave in to darkness in kh1 but it’s really hard to blame him for all that much imo. not trying to say it was fine but in the grand scheme of things idk. again in the sequence leading up to kh2 he resorts to using the power of darkness to defeat roxas and in kh2 he’s beating himself up for that again. all like oh man i’m not worthy to be sora’s friend i’m not worthy of anything. meanwhile sora has never once this whole time felt resentment for riku and just wants him to come home and really riku you don’t have to beg him for forgiveness. but riku is really trying to forgive himself. bc he’s so hurt by the fact that he ever hurt sora at all. we see it all the way up to kh3 how much regret he feels for what happened all the way back in kh1. he is deeply devoted to sora and it makes him blind to the fact that hey um. you’ve actually like hurt several other people along the way maybe like apologize to them and earn their trust maybe it’s actually your bond with other people you gotta work on. like maybe go talk to roxas actually maybe go communicate clearly with kairi for the first time in years maybe say hey xion sorry for telling you to uhhhhh do that. like

#he DID need a whole redemption arc. but for something else entirely #riku’s whole thing is like he’s like the best person imaginable toward sora. everyone else better watch out though #i don’t personally find it admirable…#i know i know. guy who would kill anyone for you = coolguy. but only in certain contexts #like humor. orrrr being classified as a villain or at least morally gray #i love the development of his relationship with sora but ultimately it makes him. kind of the same as kairi #if his identity becomes based on one person #he has more agency and gets to fight more but his motives are much the same #not that it’s bad to have a single favorite person #but both riku and kairi are really in need of some other friends to round out their characters #of course they do have other people. including each other. but none of those bonds are fleshed out enough #kingdom hearts #mine: kh #mmm i won’t tag this any more i’m just getting thoughts out not trying to be controversial

there’s also the obvious dimension that well. dean’s whole life is built around this tiny family unit. him and john and sammy. even if it ruins him, even if it’s toxic and abusive and codependent, it’s who he is. it’s who all of them are!! then sammy leaves. sam leaving is selfish! not in a bad way, in a way where it’s an intensely brave act of self-preservation that must’ve required so much strength to pull off! but that idea of selfish as at all ever being good….... well. dean cant even comprehend that. not when he’s so thoroughly invested in this decades-long act of Dean Winchester, big brother and soldier son and surrogate wife. not when he feels like nothing and has no real sense of self at all. how dare sam be selfish etc etc is basically asking How dare sam even have/try to take ownership over his own identity and his life since when was that a thing that happened…….
