#dungeon meshi#kabru#laios touden#falin touden#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

I desperately hope they keep the detail of sally selling Gabe’s statue because there is something so hilarious about that woman opening her front door, seeing that her ex-husband has been Medusa-ed, and going “you know I think he’d look nice at an art gallery”
It’d also be one hell of a divorce settlement and that’s what she deserves
#not really a divorce settlement but shhh#sally can do whatever she wants I’ll support her#I understand Poseidon I really do#she’s worth defying the king of the gods#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians

Truth be told, when I realized Ambessa was for some reason super duper invested in Vi and wanted to kill her personally with no one around because she made Caitlyn "weak", and that THAT was somehow the big distraction that would save everyone. I had to pause the episode for a moment and stare at the wall asking myself who tf kidnapped the writing team and replaced them with aliens who have only the barest idea of what the show is about
#i am so#what. what was the point. why tf would vi be cait's weakness. cait didn't think about vi once for 3 eps#and then randomly switched gears after seeing her again but ambessa doesnt KNWO that. she only saw cait arresting vi.#literally who thought that was a good idea for caitlyn redemption. who. what the fuck.#don't even get me started on other plot lines either. i am. what tf was episode 6. what tf was that.#at least this means the gay wedding is back on ig#arcane liveblog#arcane spoilers#like could they not have shown cait defying ambessa???? because of vi????#could they not have shown at least SOME setup for it. and ambessa gradually growing more and more tired of itm#hell. make maddie ambessa's mole. why couldn't she have been someone ambessa sent as a distraction that failed#i am sitting here trying to understand where we went so wrong. everything in s1 was so meticolously planned and set up. what is this the#this is all my fault this is bc i compared cait to suren the other day. i jinxed kt

I think Danny Phantom fandom is absolutely sleeping on the sheer dumb bulshittery Danny, Sam and Tucker generate on the regular and it’s a fucking shame. Like, the three of them have exactly one (1) single braincell between them, and the only one to use it at least semi-regularly is Jazz. You literally can’t leave them for five minutes without them stumbling into some new bullshit every single time. Granted, a lot of times bullshit finds them first instead of the other way around, but by god will they make the situation worse. They run into the situations with the same reckless abandon the cockchafers fly into any solid obstacle in their way, and you’d think that at least one of them will be the voice of reason, and you’d be dead wrong.
Danny? He thought pranking a murder happy millionaire with a vindictive streak the size of Grand Canyon was a great idea. And then, like a moron, he decided to use equally murder happy government agency with a huge prejudice against ghosts and a vendetta against him, personally. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that, obviously!
(spoiler alert, things did go very wrong very fast)
Tucker? A valid choice at the first glance, except he is always down to commit crimes for either his friends or just for funsies. Remember that time he ran an obviously illegal babysitting scam business? Or that time when he brainwashed and then dimensionally displaced the whole school into Ancient Egypt setting? Another notable instances of Tucker being a menace, in no particular order: organised o pro-meat protest in a few hours, tried to shoot a ghost with his phone as a projectile (and succeeded), sold Sam out to a ghost out of sheer pettiness, gave Skulker an alarm-induced ptsd, almost killed Danny that one time (don’t worry, Danny was fine) and in general committed to being bullshit-enabling gremlin.
Now Sam would seem the most grounded and reasonable out of three of them, but it is what SHE wants you to believe. She is just as, if not more, unhinged as the boys, she just hides it better. Remember that time she trashed the castle and antagonised a few dozen of armed guards, while having no back up, no weapons, no allies and while being in some shithole in the Ghost Zone? And then basically told a tyrannical asshole with op dragon powers “fuck you and your entire kingdom” in the face? And then rode another dragon who put said asshole through a wall? Good times.
They all seem like perfectly reasonable people at the first glance, and then Tucker and Danny would dare each other to lick that weird glowing green rock, and Sam would roll her eyes and groan about how stupid boys are, and then Tucker would dare her to lick that glowing rock too, and Danny will say, “Come on, Tuck, it’s okay if she’s too afraid to do it-”, and yes, Sam and her mother have many disagreements on a lot of things, but both her mother AND Granny did not raise a fucking bitch, move over, Tucker, or so help her the spirit of Pandora-
They all end up absolutely miserable in ecto-containment units sick as hell with ecto-flu and on all questions answer that no, they don’t know how this happened, maybe it was ghost attack last week, they did get blasted by that green goo, after all, but really, they have absolutely no idea, honest. Jazz suspects something, but she also has no proof and therefore can’t prove anything. In the end, it was one of the worst weeks in their life and they all ended up swearing to not do it ever again.
(they do end up doing it again two months later)
#phandom is SLEEPING on the sheer comedic potential of those three committing crimes together I swear to god!!!!#like I do understand that this fandom loves it’s angst and all#and sam danny & tucker in the same scene together will more often than not end up in stand up comedy instead of angst#but god#GOD DO I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THOSE THREE BEING DUMBASSES TOGETHER#like imagine them doing idk a heist together or smth#the panic the destruction the potential for reality defying bullshit#the ABSOLUTELY committed eco-terrorism off screen I know I was there#Sam was there bcs of obvious reasons and ended up organising an uprising#tucker was there bcs he’s always ready to commit crimes and stick it to the government#danny was there as moral support only and ended up on wanted lists of at least 7 countries#sam manson#tucker foley#danny fenton#danny phantom

why do allos insist on viewing relationships in the most boring ways imaginable
#aromantic#aro#ace#asexual#aroace#aspec#boring AND one dimensional#yes i know this doesn’t apply to all of y’all.. chill 😭#this is about the allo insistence of categorising relationships and behaviours into a platonic/romantic/sexual binary without any room for a#nuanced understanding of intimacy and picking what that means for you depending on ur own relationships. im so tired of it lol#like some of y’all will look at a complicated relationship that defies clear labels and immediately try to force it into a box without#hesitation. and it concerns me#literally begging u to open ur mind. you’ll be so free#mossy posts

this is lowkey making me emotional but the thought of dimitri single handedly destroying imperial soldiers terrifying the kingdom commonfolk during the five years of war….
#i dont understand how some takeaways from this route was dimitri maintaining some bullshit status quo when by circumstance he was#literally forced and made to live in the lowest of the lows compare to his noble peers#i always joked about how my initial thoughts on the BL route was dimitri was singlehandedly given the unluckiest circumstances and bad luck#the most compelling thing was that sometimes a character defying those circumstances through love and compassion amidst grief#is a common sentiment repeated through various mediums and what i feel was what made this the most surprising and emotionally satisfying#route for me 😭#stfu cj#fe3h#yuri leclerc#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd

Very normal about this Spam NEO fight, but I'm also curious how closely the fight plays out.
Does Frisk spare him by snapping wires still? Does he fall just like the base game when they're gone? I know he's gonna be better off at the end than becoming a pair of sunglasses, if only because he's gonna be a party member, but...
You assume this because he's a party member, but the Secret bosses are also only party Members for the duration of the Chapter they're from ;)
...
I could just leave this ask with that but, lets be honest here, I've said before that this AU initially spawned out of me joking about if Frisk was the Deltarune protag, freeing Spamton would've worked. Of course it ends better, this is happy ending city babey, that's all I do!
Frisk does snap the wires, yes, because that seems to be what Spamton's freaking out about as far as they can tell. Spamton doesn't actually get what they're doing until After all the strings are cut and he's fallen though, at which point he realizes they were trying to help him, feels somewhat guilty, and then feels a whole lot worse in general because it didn't Work.
Killing them didn't work (or, at least, he utterly failed to do so), cutting the strings Didn't Work, and now all his work was for Nothing and he tried to kill a child that did nothing but help him this entire time and that, despite how much he would attempt to convince himself otherwise, he DID get attached to. Everything's utterly fallen apart and there's nothing he can do to fix any of it. His one big plan was a dud and he has nothing else.
So Spamton is pretty ready to give up and just be a pair of glasses, but Frisk...
Well, Frisk isn't one to give up on a friend no matter what, and they will Not fail to save anyone ever again. So they try to help Spamton get back up. Again, and again, and again, and again.
And, well, that kinda Determination is enough to inspire a little hope in anyone, y'know?
And, you know, maybe, just maybe, sometimes, a little hope, a lotta determination, and a friend is all you need to defy the rules of the game.
Maybe, sometimes, you get to be more than Just A Puppet.
#deltarune au#deltarune bt#spamton#spamton g spamton#spamton neo#frisk undertale#something something 'but it refused' something something 'maybe with what power you have left you can save something else'#Frisk has proven capable of defying the 'rules' before.#of course this doesn't fix all of spamton's problems but he's still AROUND at least.#frisk doesn't have magic but they do have the power of friendship which is infinitely stronger than anything else ever#my art#dr bt#deltarune#ask#answer#spamton (handshake) flowey -> utterly incapable of understanding someone being nice to them with no ulterior motive

ive been thinking about this but. i think shuro understands laios' character pretty well, but he doesn't value his strengths or interests (monster knowledge). in the DVD extra where laios imagines what would have happened if they'd been on better terms, shuro STILL leaves because he thinks his chances are better with a trained crew (which....... is likely to be true but. look at how he ended up anyway lmao). meanwhile kabru recognises that while the party isnt particularly strong, the reason they get so far in the first place is BECAUSE of what laios knows about monsters. shuro seems aware that laios knows about monsters or has an interest in them, but views this as frivolous and a waste of time and doesn't seem to realise how much this knowledge carried them in the first place
#his prevailing impression of laios appears to be that hes too carefree 💀#i think thats more the case of whatever he observes laios' priorities to be#he thinks its unimportant....#anyway thats just my onion. ive seen people say that shuro doesnt Get laios#and i dont think thats true. i just think he dismisses some of it 💀#its his understanding of his character that. spoiler alert i just realised.#makes him back laios up to the point of defying the elves#this is just what i think is possible. because i realise also#that kabru makes this theory once hes actually talked to laios abt monsters iirc#and like. i dont think laios was as openly fanatical about monsters until after falin got killed LMAO#its entirely possible that actually shuro DIDNT observe this (knowledgeable) about laios#or at least didnt recognise the extent of the knowledge pulling them thru..#but again also. i realise shuro wasnt actually wrong for thinking his chances were better#with his retainers LMAO... senshi made a huge difference in their party and theres no way#shuro could have known hed appear. without senshi they very may have well#not made it that far......#this is all to say that i want a scenario where shuro thinks about this and realises#how integral to their survival laios' knowledge has been so far#and how his knowledge has come about as a result of study and hard work and dedication#<- secret laishuro agenda LMAO

The last DeVir and the forgotten Baenre. Two noble drow forever exiled from their homes and abandoned by Lolth.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#viconia devir#it's funny to think that at one point in her life minthara admired viconia and was impressed by her rebellion#and the more i learn about viconia in the previous games#the more i understand why minthara would admire her but also see her as a coward#viconia openly and willingly defied lolth fully understanding the consequences of what would come from it - but ran away#whereas minthara's hand was forced away from lolth by the absolute - but was still abandoned all the same (or so minthara thinks)#it's also interesting to see how viconia goes to willingly embrace shar - a god who has many similarities to lolth#and even demands that she use and abuse a child - which is peak irony as child murder is why she defied lolth in the first place#but minthara comes to shun them all and only sees benefit in the gods if there is something to gain#but even minthara thinks it best that shadowheart turns from shar in the end#i know fans of viconia regard bg3's portrayal of her as a character assassination and i don't disagree#but idk i feel like viconia's story could be a glimpse into one of minthara's many futures#especially considering that minthara is a deeply religious person and wants to have a god to worship

inexplicably sad about the loathly lady. I just can't imagine being brave enough to ask anyone whether they would prefer you be attractive in the sight of their friends, or attractive when they fuck you. that those are the only two options. I can't stop thinking about how there are many other answers to that question, and almost all of them are wrong.
#reading maskerade really stirred up some nonsense.#there's a scene I didn't clock the first time I read it but stands out in jagged relief now#where agnes (who has memorized the score for MULTIPLE OPERAS and is dealing with an extreme sleep deficiency;#who understands full well that christine is a beautiful tone-deaf self-absorbed idiot)#gets cruelly overlooked by everyone. even the man who she helped transform into andrew lloyd weber.#because she is fat and has good hair.#and with her disc-defying voice she SCREAMS until all the glassware in the opera shatters. the world cracks.#......but then she and everything else has to keep going.#the world doesn't pause to admire her rage or her fortitude. nothing stops. it just.....goes on.#amazing sometimes to think that these books were written by a british man 40-odd years older than I am.#that's exactly it; I don't know how you know it but you do.#(sidenote it is quite funny that poems about arthurian knights and silly fantasy novels from the 1990s#are the only two referents for this fury that I can think of.#even recent television series don't handle it well. ehl oh ehl. ehl em eff ayh oh even.)

Komahina post-game headcanons pls!!!
OK ITS TIMELINE TIME
so this goes for pretty much all dr survivor ships. but i think their relationship development postgame is very very very blurry and nonlinear. they r stuck in a MINIMUM 5 year long gay ass situationship because komaeda is still inclined to push away anyone that tries to love him bc luck + hajime is really caught up with his identity issues and his self image interferes with how he thinks komaeda sees him + hajime is his doctor for a little bit + both of them generally need to heal + THEY R ASSSS at communicating. HORRIBLE combination here.
their first kiss is like maybe half a year to a year after komaeda wakes up and from then it SPIRALSSS. they go from soft and tender moments to hook ups to daily arguments back to soft and tender back to arguing all in one day and that goes on for YEARS. theyll make out like crazy up against the door or whatever and then three minutes later hajime is on the cottage floor distraught because he doesnt know if komaeda truly returns his feelings. the first person to ever feel hajime’s surgery scars (other than himself) is komaeda and it’s in the middle of an argument theoretical-friction-of-lucky-stars-style. they start staying nights at each others cottages and it gets to a point where theyll have months long periods where theyre essentially living together, just alternating between their two cottages depending on how they feel, and then one screaming match and then theyre apart again, and then two weeks later theyre back to living together etc etc etc. half of the others is extremely scared the other half is like canthey just figure it out already.
eventually they do figure it out. once they both do some self work and some healing then the screaming matches go away and they adopt a samoyed together. the next big hurdle for them is when they both go off to the mainland to work for the future foundation (which in my timeline is. when theyre abt 30?). theyre always placed on missions together because their luck compliments each other + theyre unbearable to work with apart. they lowkey get kinda codependent during this period because. almost dying on missions every week probably doesnt help the relationship all that much.
eventually they quit their jobs to live out a gay life on the island and have a lowkey wedding. at about 40ish is when they adopt a kid. they adopt the oldest kid at the towa city orphanages and they all live happily ever after. they r the last 2 of the jabberwockers to die of old age, with komaeda being the last last one
#abt the situationship part. defy you stars + theoretical friction of lucky stars are the two fics that understand exactly what i mean here#this is just a general outline but thats whats in my head rn#ko’s danganronpa ramblings#komahina#asks

me: oh i totally get it if some folks dont jive with same coin theory, plus it's strange to conceptualise at first--
me when i see people call it lame:
#is it any more lame than bill just becoming a bird after a decade of waiting#they dont understand the poetry of bill creating his own end in the form of someone he despises yet gets everything he wanted!!!#sounds like 'i didnt know about the axolotl poem and was oblivious to the bill reincarnation for the past 8 years' talk!#y'all need to appreciate a good ol bootstrap paradox!!! love me some time shenanigans!#also the funniest thing i've seen when folks were denying same coin theory was#'oh that's a paradox so that clearly can't happen!!!!'#as if both time travel eps arent entirely bootstrap paradoxes that literally points the paradox out#and the fact that soos and stan met is one too!!!#...which then makes any canon divergent aus where dipper and mabel dont make it to that ep have the timeline fall apart lol#but everyone forgets about that so whatever!!!#....yes i have beef with the inconsistencies of time travel in the eps but whatever#..........if the kids replace themselves when time travelling then what about the baby versions in 2002--#could you imagine time travellers pig with a billion time duplicates of the kids tho lmao#my point is a paradox brought this family together canonically#defying time and space and lifetimes and trauma theyre all silly goobers together!!!#anyway here's me grumbling cos it was a plot thread left out for years that we were meant to discuss/think about#too bad we didnt expect the 'bill is too busy in theraprison to get reincarnated rn' twist
