anne rice said "erotica", the fans said "oh hm this is horror and abuse! let's turn this into a deeply upsetting character study about how abuse can create cruel people who perpetuate cycles."

iwtv (2022) writers said "this is a literal fucking saw trap" the fans said "but what if they were in love <3"

something like tim convinces himself that robin has to be a Boy™ and then steph becomes robin and shatters that conviction and all his repressed gender feelings come spilling out, but actually letting go of that conviction isn’t all that easy

if there's no homoerotic tension between you and the manifestation of your alter-ego that you’ve constructed in your mind, do you really have identity issues?

Gore, Violence and Blood under the cut

What a mess

i love the tower princes. i love that there’s absolutely no way in hell that this friendship is even remotely good for either of them. love that they assuredly are making each other SO much worse with every second they spend together.

Morro is like those eggs you try to perfectly crack open except your thumb slides in and destroys the yolk, leading you to drop everything else onto the pan messily because you might’ve made a small mistake but it made all the difference.

Lloyd is like when you find an egg so ugly looking and and dirty that you don’t want it, yet its the only egg in the batch that cracks smoothly, leaving you to eat one of the best eggs ever made.

Nya is like when you keep tapping an egg on a corner/counter yet the shell is so hard it won’t break or give you something to help you break it. You’ll never find out what’s inside.

Zane is like those eggs you crack open easily and happily, only to be disappointed when the yolk is missing. So you try to make do with what you have, when it’s the only egg you have.

Kai is the eggs that must be gently cracked open, bit by bit to reap the riches inside. Yet sometimes what lies inside isn’t enough. Its not fulfilling enough. The egg was not big or not flavourful and it left a bad taste in your mouth.

Jay’s the eggs that broke in the package, spilling across all the others and covering them with everything it is. And if you don’t like it it’s something you must accept, because it cannot go back to what it once was. It wasn’t strong enough then, and he isn’t strong enough now.

Cole is the eggs that are pure white, clean as can be. The shell is hard, yet not too much so that it’s difficult to break. The crack is perfect as he’s split open into two halves, only for half of the inside of the eggs to spill off the pan, making a mess no one wants to clean.

Pixal is the eggs that was one too many in its bunch, one too many eggs that were given, leaving it the only unwanted one everyone wants to throw away or feed to another when you don’t want nor need it.

Harumi is the egg that is barely holding itself together, almost breaking under all the tension and pressure it faced as it was jostled around recklessly as if its owner did not care, let alone know, how fragile an egg can be. The egg is covered in cracks, and its almost like its insides might spill, but it clings on desperately together to fulfil its purpose.

Skylor is an egg that gets left behind. The egg that was forgotten in its nest as the rest are shipped away, the odd one out no one needed.

Echo is that one egg left in the package, yet you buy a new one as you forget the old one waiting to be used before it rots into nothingness.

Yes, this is completely and utterly about eggs.

frequently what happens is I'll be drawing a comic and think, huh. I wonder what shoes a 14th/15th century cardinal would wear. I bet they had fancy rules about it, and the answer will be in a 500 page book about the early modern cardinal. I'll think, 'WELLLLLL since I'm already here, I'll check out this other chapter that sounds interesting,' and then I'll find out that the vatican is literally hazardous to your health, but from that point on I'll be locked in for the entire book. I'll start reading through all the citations while checking to see what else some of the contributors have written. the comic has been forgotten entirely because I need to know more about the hats.

[furiousgoldfish]

me, spiraling: I'm broken. I will never be normal. I am a failure. Nobody could ever love me. I'm monstrous worthless creature and I should have been killed for my sins long time ago.

me trying to connect this to anything factual I've done in my life to warrant this kind of opinion of myself: hm. I've overreacted sometimes to things that hurt me. And got hurt when people abandoned me. I'm sure this is the act of ultimate evil. Nobody worse than me has ever existed.

one day fans will realize that treating real people like fictional characters and fictional characters like real people is, at the core of things, The Problem

[dunmeshistash]

all of this is just giving misogyny lol

Living in denial, thinking, surely it gotta be some reason other than misogyny? But I got nothing

I imagine it's internalized for a lot of people so maybe they don't notice? it's just that it really grinds my gears lmao. Several times before I wanted to complain about it but the Maizuru slut shaming/mom shaming was the last drop

I don't think I've seen a single comment in my notes in older posts about how she treated Izutsumi, only about how she traumatized Toshiro.

In the posts about Laios and Falin's past I've only seen either general "I get how it is but I hope they can make up" up to feeling sorry for his father, but when there was a focus on his mother the comments became "no wonder he was traumatized look at what she did" "this woman had issues"

I'm really over here TRYING to find any other reason why there's different reactions but people just have this expectation that women are either perfect or evil??

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[stagefoureddiediaz]

We’re totally getting Tommy saying something about Eddie ‘being around all the time’ aren’t we!

[bambimeadows]

You know what I really want if I’m being real?

I actually want them to develop Adler’s character. Because we’ve already seen the stoic, stone cold, emotionless sort of man that we fell in love with regardless. We know he’s that guy. We know he’s the baddest. But are they actually going to give us more to work with? Will they develop who he is as a person or are they going to keep it monotonous? Are they going to show us his human side? Something? Anything? Please? So many of us have busted our asses trying to further develop a somewhat realistic personality for him. Please give us something. They did it for the modern warfare boys. Give us more back story. Tell us more about his ex wife. Anything. They know he’s a fan favourite if they’re smart they would.

rereading the nuca pink doujin and seeing yakumo tear himself apart re: his snake form vs his human form all this agony and self-doubt and silent suffering and fear of rejection like "if i looked less human would u hate me" , "if u saw me in my true form wouldn't that be horrible. terrifying. disgusting" , "if i admitted i want to swallow you whole would you think worse of me"

and i imagine him asking something like this to the crowd of clan members , who are , undeniably,, a group of Kinky Fuckers

they all smile with the serenity and carefully masked excitement of a horny olivine. masterful beautiful reassuring expressions (errr..... masked to different degrees depending on the clan member)

POV: Your girlfriend has finally returned from her assignment. But, she has grown a will of her own and she despises you. And it pains you to see that she is so much happier without you. If only you were smarter and never handed her over to Ketheric. Maybe she would still love you because she was the only one in this world who ever did, even if it wasn't real.

[crow-with-a-pencil]

Hi @naffeclipse I'm very normal about your fic. Have some frantic midnight sketches as extra kudos along with some tag rambling :)
