Hey reshaper, do you prefer the warmer or the colder season?

"The warmth, of course- the cold makes the joints stiff and everything is dead and dormant. I prefer life and vibrancy, sound and people. The colder seasons lack those, typically."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HYUNJIN 🖤

[panchulien]

Nikolai has to take a step back and go on a leave due to his recently broken arm. He is not happy about it.

He's trapped in his house, with strict orders from his doctor (and Price) to NOT work and focus on resting, so his arm can heal properly and quickly.

It's torture for him, staying inside and doing nothing. He is itching to do something, to be useful, anything. It's what he does, it's what makes him valuable, it's his entire purpose, so now having to forcefully take a step back is making his skin crawl.

Price makes sure to check up on him every chance he gets, just to make sure Nikolai didn't break the rules and is resting properly. If he bribed the downstairs neighbors to keep an eye on Nik and alert Price if he gets up to something, then that's Price's business.

Price calls him in his breaks, listens to Nikolai whine about how bored he is and how bad the TV show he's watching is, Price just lets him complain because it's a much better option than having to force him to stay inside. Nikolai tries to sweet-talk his way out of it, even begs for it, but no can do.

"Please, John? At least let me in the hangar, promise I won't even touch anything." He pleads, Price can practically see Nikolai's hurt-puppy look over the phone. He dismisses the thought before it gets thru his defenses.

"We both know that's not true, sweetheart. You just focus on resting for now, and you'll be back on your feet in no time." Price knows that's bullshit, knows if he was Nikolai he'd also be going mad. But someone has to say it.

Nikolai manages his way around the house just fine, except this one particular occasion.

He's just smoked the last of his cigarettes, and he's going to do something drastic if he doesn't have another in between his fingers in the next 20 seconds. He searches through the house, mumbling curses under his breath in whatever language comes in his head first, and eventually ends up in the bathroom.

To no one's surprise, he trips and falls while he's searching thru the bathroom cabinets, cursing loudly as he goes down, but lucky for him, Prices secret pack of cigs is exactly where Nikolai remembers it.

Price comes home only to find Nikolai laying on the bathroom floor with his head resting against the bathtub. He'd panic if it wasn't for the fact that Nikolai looked perfectly fine, and smoking HIS secret pack of cigs on top of it.

He just sighs, the sight is amusing to him, "How long have you been down there?"

Nikolai just shrugs. His ass is numb from how long he's been sitting there, but he doesn't mind. "Couple of hours."

John snorts before offering a hand up to him so he can get up. John will have to find a better place to hide his cigarettes next.

[foolsocracy]

Hi, hello, I’m new to your blog. I’ve made myself at home. Lovely carpet.

Can I please know more about your spider Robbie pie? Can’t seem to find the silverware.

but of course, kind anon

Spider Robbie is an au in which Robbie Robertson takes up the spider mantle after the death of the one before him. He is the third, following Ben Urich and, most notably, Peter Parker.

This au is very much canon divergence from Eyes Without a Face, where Peter makes it in time to save Robbie from his original fate but dies in the process. Peter is shot while rushing Robbie and the others out. In his panic and elation at finding Robbie physically unharmed, Peter outs himself as the Spider Man to his best friend. Robbie stays with him as he bleeds out and resolves to continue to hide Peter's identity.

Peter is buried and remains that way for... an undetermined amount of time.

Robbie is left with a mask, a jacket, and the question of just who was this other half of his friend. As he learns more of who this... Spider Man was, he gets more and more involved in the spider's cases and conflicts. Robbie gets more sure of his own abilities and makes a bit of a name for the Spider Man within his own community, though the people of Harlem are largely unaware that the appearances of a masked vigilante match the interests of one Robbie Robertson.

It is to be noted that none of these aforementioned abilities are spider-god-induced powers like Peter's. Robbie, especially at the beginning of his spidering career, leans more into Urich's role than Parker's. To me, Robbie has been passionate about the press and journalism in a way that Peter never was. For Pete, his job as a photographer and reporter was a job he took until he could get into college and study science. Robbie has a way with words and communication that Peter frankly lacks. Of course, that isn't to say that Robbie won't be kicking ass, because he will. It will just take him a bit of time to get some of those skills as he's, well, a normal guy. Not everyone can get their biology scrambled like Pete.

And just because Robbie hasn't been scrambled doesn't mean he's completely separate from all things supernatural either!

I think the marvel noir universe is at its best when there's a magical, supernatural undercurrent. This concept isn't super prevalent in the actual comics, but HoplesslyLost on ao3 has done some really cool world building with it.

I think in Robbie's case, where he would be the narrator, "magical realism" would be an interesting avenue to take it. I use this term in particular because I most closely relate it to Toni Morrison in my head, when I first learned about it through her work in high school. For Morrison, the concept was inseparable to blackness and I think for Robbie, where his blackness is so central to his character and his motivations, drawing on that could be more of a service to his character. It feels better to do that than ignore how incredibly racialized his society and story is. It will make his relationship with the spider god, Peter (who I will get to very very shortly), his community, and his own mythos as The Spider Man really interesting and complex.

So it's been established that Robbie doesn't have spider powers. And we all know that Peter did-- or should I say does. One of the spider god's abilities is to bring Peter back to life. She does this in the comics, but not in any of the runs from 2008-2010 (the runs that make up this au). When Peter dies on Ellis Island, he does not think he is coming back from that. Waking up again is a surprise.

Here's where I think the au really takes a left turn. Do I think the Spider God is purely evil and spiteful and has it out for Pete? No, not really. Will I be ramping said traits up to 11 for the au? Yeah, I guess I might. This is because I love a little bit of horror and the came back wrong trope. I will hopefully be fleshing the spider god out in the near future, but I really haven't given her the many hours of thought I have the other characters. For that I'm sorry spider god </3

Peter digs himself out of his grave, more spider than he ever has been. For much of his new, waking life he is more animalistic than not. There is clearly something wrong with him; his joints are too flexible and loose, he's got some eye-shine going on, his skin is pale and his veins are starkly dark beneath it. He's possessed. Someone is puppeteering him, someone who knows a lot-- almost everything about him, but it's clear that the someone isn't him.

And Peter--- the body, it can't be Peter. At least, that's what Robbie thinks when the figure catches his eye the first time. Because Peter is dead and buried, and he has been dead and buried for weeks.

this cliff took more lives than i could on my own im losing it

[evelynpr]

For the character ask game can I pick toga :)

I'm gonna be very honest in these, and I might disappoint, but here it is-

My first impression - I started watching BNHA around 5 years ago? It's hard for me to remember what exactly was my first impression of Toga, but back then I really didn't care for her much. Honestly, I just found it quite problematic that the only main female villain in BNHA is an overly cute school girl who fits the "cute yandere" trop to a t when the rest of the male villains look a lot more serious and scary.

My impression now - Perfectly honest- I really only started paying attention to her because of Ochako. I was, and still am, a massive Ochako fan, and when I heard that she suddenly had a massive romantic and tragic battle and narrative with Toga after leaving the fandom for 3-4 years, I was immediately deadly curious. - Even with how much I resonate with her story and character, I generally have a big ick for blood as a whole (surprising for a very loud tgck fan I know). Right now, she's my poor desperate little baby who really really needs love and therapy (affectionate). I wish we got to see more of her regular girly side, like caring for the LOV especially Magne and Twice.

Favorite thing about that character - That her entire story is a mentally ill and queer narrative. Like I said earlier, I actually have a big ick for blood and the cutesy yandere trope. But the thing that gets me about Toga is that she is the most openly bisexual/pansexual character in the series, very clearly mentally struggling, and both thrives and suffers because of her choices and circumstances. - She's such a tragic and hopeful character that represents so many weird people like me that I can't help but be attached. She makes me want to embrace my more girly and selfish side, and screams at me that I should live my life how I want to. - I can't leave out Ochako from this part. Holy shit the themes and story about their relationship makes my heart both break and soar so bad it genuinely hurts. Save people by understanding them, helping them, listening to them. Show someone you can be selfish, that they deserve love, that she deserve a chance. It's so much it punches me to a million sobbing pieces.

Least favorite thing - For the 3rd time now...not into blood. I don't like its taste, look, and the mere thought of bleeding genuinely grosses me out. - You probably think "How in the world are you attached to her then?" well its because I understand that Toga's "blood" is also a representation of her violent tendencies and love. I see it much more as a narrative device for her character and themes.

Favorite line/scene - Shocking, but I actually have not read the manga. I can't say what my favorite scene is just yet because I want to truly witness it animated, when the time comes. - If you want an answer well, from the anime so far, it probably is when she gets her quirk awakening in MVA, or when she confesses to Izuku in the final war (mostly because that scene is so damn hilarious, tragic, and important).

Favorite interaction that character has with another - ...I mean obviously it's Ochako lmao? Every interaction is a fight of ideals and love- which suddenly morphs into a way of challenging each other- then growing into understanding and loving each other. That is. Just insane. How the fuck did BNHA's writers come up with this.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more - For the sake of my Tgck Bkdk square, I really wished for her to have interacted with Bakugou at least once. Just see how one person's violence and power was praised, while the other was abandoned and shamed. How they both have a strong squishy-faced freak they're obsessed with, and also obsessed with them, even if they don't feel like they deserve it. - Oh and, definitely more LOV random shenanigans and bonding time. I wish I was able to get more into them ngl, but I never really felt that sadly. Man...

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character - UHHH??? I genuinely have no idea. I am drawing at a blank I am so sorry T__T This is the firsts time I have ever been interested in this kind of character??? Really sorry-

A headcanon about that character - This is kind dark so be warned - I got this idea from a fic and now I can't stop thinking about it. Toga always wanted her love to be reciprocated or understood by someone. Anyone. I feel that she was taken advantage of and abused by horrible people in her earlier days of running away...especially since she's a young teenage girl in a cute school uniform. I am so sorry...

A song that reminds of that character - I am working on a Togachako playlist! It's about both of their characters respectively and also their story and relationship, but here's the ones about Toga specifically! - Hayloft II (THIS ANIMATIC), The Red Means I Love You (obviously lol), Butcher Vanity, Hero (Charlie Puth, mostly tgck), Pink Pony Club (Chappell Roan, early Toga)

An unpopular opinion about that character - She's not the possessive type, and she's really very open to people she loves loving other people at the same time, polymarous kind. This is probably a pretty common hc already tho since she says this repeatedly? - Her most common form of love is a very impulsive/sexual/admiration/attracted kind. You could even relate this to hypersexuality (something I struggle with) where the moment you find something you're into on someone, you body and brain genuinely go kinda out of control. I project onto her my own inability to hold and control these kinds of feelings at times, but Toga is quite the manifestation of my fears.

Favorite picture - I love it when a character's mask peels off. Toga genuinely angry, upset, and just not smiling is so fascinating and beautiful to me in a "It's okay my dear, show all of you, stop hiding" (Ochako might disagree with me on this tho, since she loves her smile lmao-)

[desultory-suggestions]

Witcher fans forgive me. I finally watched the Witcher because everyone raved about it for so long. I just. I just don’t like this show. Devastated. Everything good about it (which there is plenty) is overshadowed by the most annoying narrative choices. I never know what time it is in the show (past or present?) there’s random choppy moments that make no sense until so much later but with no intrigue, and Ciri aged so much between recording seasons that I thought they recast her. No hate to anyone who likes the show, there’s a ton of good stuff about it but these things I just can’t get past. They chop up a great idea until I keep pausing to go “wait what happened? WHO is that?” I know this has nothing to do with my blog but someone needs to know my insanity over this.

Here is the link!

OMG. First of all, that was so cool I had to watch it like five times. I wonder how much they had to practice doing that lol.

Anyway, YES you know it's the Anti Lucifer League!! I mean, I don't think Mephisto has officially joined, but he might as well be part of it anyway, right?

Any time Lucifer happens to spot the four of them together, he just sighs and gets himself a glass of water and four ibuprofen. Because he knows he's gonna need that later lol.

#like people wanting kant to be devil incarnate and style the saint of the saints

From the tags to this ask: https://www.tumblr.com/khaopybara/772039491673260032/re-your-reaction-video-gifset-maybe-its-just?source=share

Are...are people saying that about the episode 6 bowling scene?

I've seen a lot of baffling "criticism" of Kant and I am pretty sure it's just down to people not caring enough about him to pay attention. Because a lot of the things people say are missing are right there staring us in the face.

It's not the not liking a character. People are wrong imo but they're free to be. It's the insistence that Kant is evil or has no reasons for doing this or doesn't care about anyone involved that drive me nuts.

I had assumed Kant wouldn't be a very good or interesting character from the get go because Cameron was a total nothing in 10 Things despite being the catalyst for Patrick to pursue Kat. But I was wrong. There's so much to him and yeah, we do have to pay attention because so much of his characterization lies in what he isn't saying. That's at least part of why it has to be First playing him imo. Very few others could convey as much as he does in the twitch of an eyebrow or lip. But it's like people are just closing their eyes to it. Like if it isn't explicitly stated it doesn't matter. And even if it is explicitly stated he's probably lying anyway. And it's nuts to me that people can't see how trapped he must be feeling. Either Bison finds out and kills him, he fails or quits and goes to jail, or he lets the man he's fallen for in spite of himself be caught and loses him either through death or prison. No option is good for him, no option doesnt result in him losing something. I just don't get how people could actually be watching this show and take away that he's some awful, cackling villain instead of a dude who is cornered and miserable about it.

And it makes me so sad for First, who seemed pretty proud of his work at the start and now just spends all of his time apologizing for or trying to explain Kant's behavior. And he shouldn't have to do that even if Kant *were* the most awful person in the show, but it makes it worse that that's not the case and he still feels it's necessary.

Sorry for the long ask. I guess I'm madder about this than I thought.

i'm not sure if you saw this anon, and if you haven't, i'm sorry to bring you this image:

from an official account mind you, which makes it even worse, because they are just taking the part of fandom who are half witted and making a whole post about it (they've deleted it since i guess it wasn't as funny as they thought it was and would have more people backing them up, but what they got was people calling them out).

also not gonna submit people to my overly long rants that barely make any sense, so the rest is under read more.

i've said this a few weeks ago on twitter i think. no one's is forcing people to like kant (it's their loss honestly, because kant is a genuinely fascinating character), no one is forcing people to like kantbison. and you don't need deep reasoning to not like a character. sometimes you just don't click with them. people who dislike kant could just go, "yeah, i don't care about kant much" and move on (or even better, what i usually do, not talk about them at all! i know, what a novelty) and not have to come up with "kant is doing this for money", or "he doesn't care about bison/babe(!!!)/style" instead to back up their dislike. there's a saying in portuguese that goes a little like this, "when you shut up, you're a poet" and i think that's beautiful.

first talked about wanting to work hard so people can look at a character and say, "no one else could have played this character but first," and kant is exactly that character. no one else could have done what he is doing with kant regardless of the backlash because the backlash is coming from people who can't bother to care about him as a character. other people have talked about this more eloquently, but the lack of empathy is simply worrying tbh. what do you mean you see a man who had to raise his brother by himself bc their parents died in a plane crash, who had to find means to care for the both of them and you can't even bother to acknowledge that "yeah, maybe this dude had it a little rough huh". again, you don't need to like him, but at least try to understand him the same way you try to understand the two assassins and the guy who started hitting on a dude to win a bet.

and to be fair, first has been apologizing for kant since ep. 1. he knew people would be nasty. they were already nasty when ep. 11, 12 of only friends came out and boeing was a thing, and he kept apologizing for him (though i think it was mostly bc he said he wouldn't do what sand did). the thing is, first being first, probably didn't expect people to be so stupid and blind not to see kant's motivations and understand him and even worse when they can't separate the actor from the character and come for him instead (and mind you, and this made me pissed, kant haters who watched the reaction said "kant defenders are talking to walls because even first was angry with him" WHEN HE WAS ALMOST BEGGING YOU ALL TO SEE HIS SIDE!! ARE YOU SKIPPING PARTS OF THE REACTION AS WELL OR WHAT?!)

anyway…

kant protagonist. without him, there would be no story, no other couples, integral part of the plot, you all who hate him can eat shit.
