#see the issue is i feel like that isnt the main problem with kabuto here lmao#I've been gone for so long but ahem. as a kabuto scholar-#i feel like kabuto's main issue is that he was forced into this position by literally every outside force around him#the leaf village tried to kill him. he had no choice but to stay with orochimaru. after orochimaru died he had -nowhere to go-#but at this point in the story kishimoto doesn't want to acknowledge the problems with ninja society that led kabuto here#and that's why this explanation falls so flat to me#the most kabuto gets is itachi saying ''well it wasn't all his fault'' but not elaborating on why#and itachi is the one that is seen as in the right for making the decision to kill his entire clan in the name of upholding the status quo#so kishimoto can't outright blame kabuto's problems on the leaf village. so instead some reasons are thrown out here#that genuinely make no sense to me#and itachi claiming kabuto reminds him of himself also doesn't make much sense to me#because itachi always came across to me as incredibly sure of himself. always knew who he was and what he needed to do#which is... the opposite of kabuto#and itachi's explanation doesn't make it make sense to me.#kabuto had an amazing arc and this little summary from itachi here just ignores all of it to make up something entirely different#just in my own opinion at least.#naruto#kabuto#kabuto yakushi#mangacap#everykabuto#fourth shinobi world war: climax#chapter 587

actually the funniest flash character in history is mason trollbridge. he was just some bland carpenter dude. he was wally’s old man best friend. they moved across country together. wally LIVED with him. he had a supervillain son that was never followed up on. he was in almost every issue. then waid took over and he disappeared without a trace and was never heard from again
#take this with a grain of salt bc it’s just what I remember off the top of my head but im pretty sure this is right.#mason trollbridge#wally west#which is SO FUCKING FUNNY because#while waid immediately got rid of pretty much the entire messner loebs cast of forgettable side characters#he was courteous enough to mention them! and reference them! and give explanations for why they were no longer in the story!#but mason. arguably the biggest side character. got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING lol#let me reiterate wally LIVED with this man. and then one day he’s just GONE#mark what did mr trollbridge do to you sir

Hob with longer hair and fancy accessories ❤️
If you wanna know where this brain rot came from check this post. I blame @magnusbae ☺️
#dreamling#because it's obvious even without explanation who's the one that keeps giving Hob these pretty things and who braids his hair :D#silly rabbit au#because of course it is#gasp not a digital art this time? yeah sometimes I feel like using a good old pencil. but then i remembered why i don't do it very often#taking photos of the sketches is such a pain! especially without a decent light source#and the weather was so gloomy today so no good daylight either TT_TT#and looking back on the sketches maybe i could have gone more wild with the jewellery. that would be probably more funny#in the context of dream making a claim by giving his human a bunch of talismans#which to anybody with supernatural background basically screams BELONGS to the DREAM of the endless!! do NOT approach!!! x'D#but i worried that I'll go overboard and make it look tacky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#hob gadling#ferdinand kingsley#mayhem art

Say what you will about Martin's writing style (and I've said plenty) but I do think he's got the White Walkers' mythos worked out for a future book and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NICE IF THE SHOWRUNNERS HAD DONE 1/100TH OF THAT WORK SETTING THEM UP
Gus: I am mad all over again that there was absolutely zero explanation given as to why/how the Night King operates or how his powers work or why he chose now to attack or ANYTHING ELSE
Gus: on the plus side it means I get to make up a whole subplot that, not to brag, I'm comfortable saying is at least as good as anything D&D could've made up IF THEY HAD EVER EVEN BOTHERED
Gus: but like - okay so craster's infant sons get sacrificed to the Night King, who them magics them into White Walkers as babies
Mardia: Yep yep
Gus: so does that mean there's a white walker nursery
Mardia: Omg
Gus: do they have to change diapers
Mardia: LOOOOOOOL
Gus: is there a white walker daycare center
Gus: how does the night king TEACH his lil adopted monster babies
Gus: is there like storytime around the - well not fire
Gus: does the Night King remember what it was like to sit around a fire?
Gus: does he miss being a human and all his rage at the spell the Children of the Forest put on him to kill the First Men has curdled his brain?
Gus: what was he DOING for like 8 millennia, just hanging out?
Gus: did he get really good at ice fishing?
Gus: DO THEY EAT?
Gus: where the fuck do they get their snazzy outfits from
Gus: are there white walker tailors
Gus: what's the currency situation
Mardia: Lololololololol
Gus: I'M JUST SAYING
#game of thrones#game of thrones motherfuckers#is there a white walker barber? some of those dudes have cute lil' bobs that takes maintenance#how did they learn to ride horses if they were turned at birth#again is there some sort of montessori school for white walkers#also why does the Children of the Forests' (Children's? of the Forest?) spell work on ALL life?#like wouldn't you have gone to pretty great lengths to control scope creep on this zombie spell#there's literally a one-sentence explanation of 'we needed to defend ourselves from men' ok but the Night King kills BEARS#not to mention a pretty big dragon#IDK maybe it just the *general stuff* right now but I always disliked the Night King as an enemy#because it combines two pretty shitty tropes: 1) the remorseless implacable evil who can never be reasoned/empathized with#and 2) the evil that the persecuted minority sekretly devised themselves to disastrous ends#plus the show isn't smart enough to pick a lane#the night king could be just a force of nature like a tsunami#OR he could be an angry vengeful creature twisted by his own creation - an actual CHARACTER#instead he's just an ice nazi from some terrible video game of the early oughts who smirks as he kills people#anyway dm me for the 2k backstory on the creation of the Night King and his White Walkers#winky face

also. tbh. a little disappointed it seems like taash is Also going to be from the qun, or at least a very recent defect. i was hoping we’d get to see more vashoth characters
#at this point it feels like a concept they made up for adaar/whatever qunari pcs for this one#this is something i’ve noticed recently where it’s like. nonhuman cultures feel like they’re being. what’s the word#reducing them all down to one culture#seeing this especially with elves bc we haven’t really spent time in an alienage since tabris#arianni and merrill are both dalish transplants. but alienages have their own culture#there’s elves whose ancestors were never in the dales. there’s elves who lived in the dales who never joined the dalish#but we don’t really get a whole lot about that#like. it’s very cool to have two dalish companions but i’m a little disappointed they’re the only elven companions yk#god. i could write a whole other post about elves#seeing this a little bit with dwarves too bc in harding’s v&v episode she brought up the stone a bunch#which i’ve already mentioned. could be an insight into surfacer culture that hasn’t assimilated into the chantry#or it could just be that they went ‘uhhh dwarf so they’re all the same’#i’m of two minds about varric’s beard for the same reason bc it was an intentional choice to have him be clean shaven#and maybe he’s gone through some offscreen character development. or it could be this again#it seems like a similar thing that happens to characters of color like#if they’re not white it’s either them or their parents who came from rivain/antiva/tevinter (thinking vivienne duncan isabela etc)#everyone needs an excuse for why they are where they are. except for white humans bc that doesn’t NEED an explanation. is how it comes acros#mine#taash

if alligator loki's nexus event was eating the wrong cat, does that imply that all the other, non-alligator, lokis ate the right cat? :O
#sylvie has for sure eaten cat at some point and i'm sure most of them have eaten - *I AM FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM THE TIMELINE*#BUT RLY THO! i'd taken that as a special alligator loki destiny but unless there's a lot of alligator lokis in the multiverse...#(who are apparently all Good Boys who ate the right cat which is why the Void isn't full of them right?)#...then maybe i was wrong and the cat thing happens to all of them at some point??#alligator loki#damn it works doylistically as An Hilarious Joke but the options for a watsonian explanation are just GRIM#“but WHY is the cat gone?”#“boys have either of you seen the cat? thor didn't electrocute this one too did he? where did... loki is that cat fur stuck in your teeth?"#...though i suppose if we assume A!Loki is fairly young this solves all those “how did an alligator do all that Avengers stuff?” question

AU where Tim's family is connected to the Court of Owls rather than Dick's, and Tim decides to go undercover as a member of the Court
alt version and explanation under the cut
(Disclaimer: I know the court of owls storyline happens in the n52 continuity, but for my own sake (as i don't really like tim's whole deal in it lol) this AU is using pre-n52 backstories and characterizations)
In this AU, Janet Drake was a member of the Court of Owls, unbeknownst to Jack and Tim. Bruce eventually finds this out, but chooses to keep it from Tim to protect him. Tim, of course, finds out that Bruce is keeping this from him, and, feeling betrayed both by Bruce and his own mother, decides to infiltrate the Court on his own. The court has been sending him cryptic invitations ever since Bruce announced his initiative to improve Gotham, looking for a way into both the Wayne family and WE. As a member of the Court, Tim is able to gather information to help stop them, but in order to maintain his cover, he is forced into many situations where he is forced to choose between compromising his morals or compromising his position in the Court.
#tim drake#red robin#batman#court of owls#dc comics#the court of owls#dc fanart#i haven't fully finished the court of owls storyline. it lost me when they said that the graysons were connected to the court of owls#like. tim is right there. he has a mysterious long-dead parent who was both rich and gone literally all the time#that's literally perfect for this kind of story!!!!! why did they have to choose dick for it instead????#anyway this AU concept kind of took over my entire brain the instant i started reading the story#the explanation is kind of long but i promise its even longer in my own head#i really do think an infiltration mission would have suited the court storyline best#bc then we could see all of the messed up stuff the court gets up to!!!#they have a massive torture labyrinth for god's sake!!!! give me some gladiator fights!!#give me some messed up human hunts a la the most dangerous game!!!#anyway. i might post more about this concept later#art#my art#weaverofink

you really do doubt your writing abilities until you start writing on a laptop instead of your fucking phone
#🪷 gia.exe#i've been STRUGGLINGGGG w writer's block#so tell me why it's gone as soon as i start writing on my laptop??#this phenomena must be studied#there's probably a really simple explanation but o well#also same effect for writing in google docs vs the tumblr app LMAOO

Me through most of Boom: Wow, this is a really solid dramatic episode.
Me when Moffat needlessly sprinkles in anti-faith sentiments without specifying that it’s blind faith in bad things that the Doctor doesn’t like, which makes it come off like the Doctor is just against religion generally:
#doctor who#dw critical#spoilers#dw spoilers#i get it edgelord you don’t care for religion. you don’t have to alienate religious members of the audience.#i at least appreciated that the doctor agreed with splice that gone and dead are different things and told her to keep the faith#but like. he immediately thereafter still tells mundy that he doesn’t like faith and spent the whole episode disparaging it.#which just feels so wrong for a show that’s supposed to be open minded about the beliefs and cultures all across the universe#i hate when writers gratuitously make the doctor take a hard and broad stance on something that he would NOT#reminds me of s8 when twelve suddenly hated all soldiers#as if some of his closest friends haven’t been soldiers? brigadier? benton and yates? sara?#big difference between corrupt military and literally every soldier#the same way there is a big difference between a corrupt religious organization or individuals who use religion as an excuse for cruelty#and like. ALL faith and the idea of having a faith that you live by whatsoever.#just because his comments were aimed at something corrupt doesn’t mean they weren’t WAY too sweeping as if he meant it on the whole#i definitely enjoyed the bulk of the episode but that just felt like it was done in bad faith and made me uncomfortable#and i just read moffat’s comment on the thoughts and prayers thing and UGH#i get why there are circumstances in which that can feel hollow — usually if it’s coming from a corporation that could actually do somethin#but can we not villainize all the normal people who genuinely mean that with love?#people who often CAN’T do anything but say prayers for you?#that IS a legitimate response and a legitimate action#someone can’t physically aid you but cares to take the time to talk to the God of the universe about you and your need and plead for you#don’t tell me that isn’t love or that it’s not really doing anything#sometimes that’s all you CAN do and it’s more than people give it credit for#blatant disregard and willful misunderstanding of faith like this just rub me wrong#it’s painting with a broad brush and it’s close minded#and yes i’m gonna post this. i’m feeling controversial.#my love/aggravation relationship with moffat continues#in the wise words of kira nerys. if you don’t have faith you can’t understand it and if you do then no explanation is necessary.

I have a theory Akutagawa doesn't have any illness and just made up his lungs disease in the heat of the moment
#I mean not really but. BUT. like seriously what was the point of revealing that in that moment???#It was really meaningless like all he said was all acting to begin with right?#Why did he feel the need to make himself so vulnerable in front of Atsushi??????#So like. either author went “ah there was actually this plot point I need to close up before Akutagawa dies–#otherwise all the hints I've left because of it here and there will have been gone to waste” or...#Or he just made it up to live his dramatic sickly Victorian boy dream moment at its fullest#If anything that would explain why he doesn't suffer for it in Beast#(I mean. beyond the other reasonable explanation that it is. you know. result of Dazai's abuse)#He was there and he thought “how can I make Atsushi's life as miserable as possible even after I'm dead? Oh of course-#by making myself so pathetic he won't help but regret for every time he hurt / misjudged / misunderstood me for the rest of his life”#Bruh#bsd#bungou stray dogs#ryūnosuke akutagawa#bsd ch 87#bsd ch 84-88#mine#q.#05/09/22

*Breaks down door*
I'm tired of making up angsty scenarios in my brain, what the actual HELL happened to Steelbeak!?
#/hj#I know it's not that serious; but is there like...any explanation? In any media he's in? A hint?#Like his whole mouth is just GONE that has to have been traumatic right?#He's def just in it for the money; but why did FOWL give him that new beak? Was that before he worked there? A workplace accident?#Did they just want him that bad? I'll never know!#darkwing duck#f.o.w.l.#steelbeak

While I was reading the later chapters of Phantom of the Opera a friend of mind reminded me it was a serialization, and suddenly I had a moment of clarity in which I thought "Oh so that's why it's written like that"
#i just be ramblin#phantom of the opera#listen listen overall I enjoyed that boon however#*book#reading post Christine disappearing in the middle of Faust was a personal hell because. There was so much unnecessary rambling. So many#extra scenes we could have time skipped through or never had happen in the novel itself#At some point I was praying ''Please. I love you Persian. Please learn when to shut up. Leroux please. Save some of this explanation of#literally everything for some post story extras or something please get to the actual story''#Like don't get me wrong. I did find the explanation of how the torture room worked and was built very interesting#But did. Did we really have to cut in the middle of our very time sensitive scary moment for the protagonists to go on and on and on about#every working bit of the thing being explained to someone like they've never heard of a mirror maze before with the added dragging out of#the Persian going slowly insane trying to escape the torture room while it changes and changes and changes and the words drag on and on#And then I remember it's serialized and I'm like ''Yeah okay that makes sense.''#''Oh yeah that's why we spent like 5 long chapters reading nothing happening but the Persian and Raoul sneaking down all 5 cellars only for#the Persian to inform us that they really just needed to be in cellar 3 and had gone to an area Erik never frequents and wandered so we#could...learn about the rat man and the shade? who never show up again?''#Please understand I do genuinely like this book but knowing the period it came out in and that it was serialized really puts things#into perspective#poto

Hey everyone!
So uh, this might end up unnoticed anyway, but I wanted to let you know that I’ll log off of tumblr for the whole month of August, so I won’t be around.
August also happens to be Halea’s birthday month, so the timing is unfortunate, but I need a breather again.
I have scheduled a Halea fact post once a day as well as her moodboard and hope that tumblr won’t let me down and actually post it all like it’s supposed to.
On the last day of August I’ll be back for the final of Halea’s birthday month, so feel free to ask questions about her.
Generally, you can keep tagging me and sending asks, I’ll gladly get to those once I am back. Just don’t wonder why I don’t answer as fast as I usually would.
#I know such a long post to say that I’ll be gone for a month seems a bit too dramatic#but since it’s also Halea’s birthday month I thought id give a short explanation#not that while I’m gone people send me asks or messages and wonder why I don’t answer even though I post a fact daily#writer speaks#writeblr

i dont know if i ever shared this story but washing my hair and thinking of my dad reminded me of it
when my dad died, he had his hair pretty long and in a ponytail and we asked for his ponytail to be cut so we could save his hair
it might seem weird and it hasnt been done in my family before in my knowledge but we all consented to his hair being cut and it wouldnt have been something he opposed
when his funeral was coming up i was debating cutting my hair the same way, just forming a ponytail and having my cousin cut it but before the funeral when i was messaging my cousin to ask her, i felt a warm tingling pressure on the top of my head
i dont know if i believe in ghosts and never physically interacted with ghosts (i guess you could say ive "felt" them before, like feeling a towering but gentle male presence in my grandmas house that matched with her father's description) but ive never physically seen apparitions or heard voices or felt touches
it felt like my dad was placing his hand on my head and it was so weird and comforting that i decided not to cut my hair and only once that thought crossed my mind and i deleted the message to my cousin was when the sensation stopped
call it a hallucination brought on by grief or a supernatural occurrence but it definitely sticks with me now and id like to believe it really was my dad telling me not to cut my hair for his sake
#also in the same week#i had gone out by myself at night to smoke and was just chilling#then i hear my dads voice say 'ross' like so fucking clearly from the direction of the cars#like it was so vivid that i stopped everything and started going towards the cars#but then i was like 'wait. could be an sw' (shapeshifting spirit not a sex worker) and just quickly went inside#im not native but considering i live in america and am superstitious im always gonna be wary of the spirits here#also hence why i dont say the name out of fear of summoning one#that was crazy i still have no explanation for that#it was like 1am no one was outside but me#my dad wouldnt have blamed me for not investigating if it was him#he hated when my mom told him about her personal ghost encounters#he was just really freaked out by it#what an asshole honestly being freaked out by ghosts but doing that to me#he prolly laughed too#dickhead (affectionate)
