do people who have listened to taz balance but not graduation Know that it was HEAVILY IMPLIED that lup and barry eventually adopted a lil sorcerer child who got disowned by his family for his natural necromancy magic, and they taught him how to use his powers for good and were overall great parents that he looks back on fondly
(and said child grew up to be a dimension-hopping lich, caretaker of the dead, and very sweet adoptive father of a major npc)
#eliot posts#taz#the adventure zone#taz balance#taz graduation#lup taaco#barry bluejeans#blupjeans#like they never specifically say ''my parents are barry and lup'' so it's left up to interpretation but#he says he came from another world other than nua (nua is the name of the grad world like faerun is the balance world)#he says both his parents were highly skilled necromancers that ''travelled'' a lot because of their work#he says that inter-planar travel runs in the family#and he likes to bake#also travis apparently said on a livestrean that he got something carved by magnus for his daughter#it's a fun little easter egg for balance enjoyers but kept vague enough where it's like. you don't have to know about balance to enjoy it#anyway tho it's adorable cuz he talks about how much of a positive impact his parents made on him#and how he wanted to emulate them when raising his own daughter#and he's a good dad and his daughter loves him (also she is an absolute delight i love her#and like the only older adult to look at our college-aged protagonists and be like#''yeah it's messed up that you have to deal with all of this you're so young you're the same age as my child i will help however i can''#like balance easter egg aside gordy is one of my fav graduation npcs (behind his daughter rainer who is my fav)

Fucked up Taichi Amagi AU you are so important to me
#it's all a3stars rn bc me and Rizo like to be insane TOGETHER. crossover allows for this#I love bullshitting ways for this to make sense.#Taichi says in canon he dyed his hair red in highschool and his baby sprite has black hair BUT#in Taichi Amagi time he got fucking KIDNAPPED for his own good. get him out of that house#but his parents got scared they would find him so they dyed his hair black#he does still bleach and dye it himself in highschool to look cool. he wants to see what he would look like with his natural hair#it ends up pinkish but his parents get so worried about it again that he keeps it this shade and he has to keep the black patch...#bc the black patch will throw people off#ANYWAY. REALLY CONVOLUTED BUT#digital#a3! act! addict! actors!#a3!#enstars#ensemble stars#taichi nanao#rinne amagi#very stupid but we are having fun over here#also they both use oretchi apparently??#Taichi face like Hiiro hair like Rinne... they are all... idiot#Taichi feels like a middle child anyway. it works out#(coming from a middle child)

Back with a sketch of this idiot (+how he looks in Rev AU's Limbo)
#call of duty modern warfare 2#cod mw2#cod ghost#simon ghost riley#call of duty modern warfare#cod fanart#call of duty fanart#every once in a while I have to sketch him again bc I'm like 'I can do his face better'#I can do whatever I want with his face obviously since nothing's in canon but#I think I've been getting it more and more 'Ghost'#which apparently looks like a starving victorian child mixed with the essence of a wet cat.#anyway Im working on a oneshot that uh. kinda got out of hand.#as in it's 12k words long and I'm not. done yet.#took a break from that to make this#now its back to writing... editing is gonna be something else with that one....#revenant au#almost forgot to tag that lmao

Whooooo could have predicted this?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#Poorly drawn MDZS#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#fairy#I love that they go up a mountain to check out fake ghost rumours. It's everything I want out of a date (Nature hike & something haunted)#I just know these two are big hike fans (wwx prob 'gets tired' and 'needs to be carried' at the end)#(he doesn't need it he just wants to be held)#Its not super apparent but wwx is using 'gonna be haunted in there' as an excuse to not encounter the dog#thats on me for rushing this one though#the end result makes lwj look like one of those dad's that's like 'come on kids lets go check out these dark caves! Nothing creepy here!'#Which is a vibe he deserves to have. Maybe with a more blunt tone.#I don't know who would be a worse chaperone tbh. I think together they would be good but separate? Chaos.#Speaking of chaperoning...Jin Lin sure did wander off. Wonder where he went?#JC needs to invest in a stronger child leash 'cause his nephew keeps chewing through it and running off

okay.
so it's either a very fancy very nerdy little anvil paperweight
OR
little tyelpe had a teeny tiny forge-like dollhouse made for him by feanor, who painstakingly designed every tiny detail and made all toy equipment himself because tyelpe, too young to be in forge, insisted that he absolutely needs to be a smith like his father and grandfather and needs to begin learning now.
and who was feanor to refuse his only grandson who wanted to learn his craft when he only started to walk without bumping into everything? feanor would be elated and would spend hours playing with tyelpe in his little forge. it was before the silmarils when feanor had all the time in the world for his beloved grandson.
the anvil was one of many parts of that dollhouse, one of few that made it to beleriand and the only one that made it through to the second age with celebrimbor.
he could never make himself part with it.
#yeah#nothing better than taking a look at an item appearing for like 1 second and making a heartwrenching headcanon#i love stabbing myself with angst#i headcanon that celebrimbor was very young when they left valinor#not a toddler but maybe an equivalent of 7-8 year old#old enough to understand some things but young enough to be absolutely traumatized#based on that one absolutely amazing fanart of curufin and little tyelpe where he apparently had a nightmare#and curufin says 'no one is coming to take you' and tyelpe responds with 'but they took uncle nelyo'#i saw it some 3-4 years ago and i kid you not it randomly appears in my brain just to haunt me#so he is still a child and was allowed to take some of his toys and obviously his little forge had to come with him#not all of it only some parts because there were more important things to pack#and feanor promised him they would make the missing equipment together once they settled down and were relatively safe#and then he died#and then over the years some of the toys were lost and some were broken#and then celebrimbor was no longer a child and when they had to run he packed food and clothes and weapons not his toys#but this little anvil he would snuck into his pack anyway#and against all odds the anvil made it through the first age unscathed#if there was one thing reminding him of better times it was this#somebody fucking sedate me#brainrot has taken control over my every thought literally#celebrimbor#tyelpe#telperinquar#curufin#feanor#rings of power#beleriand#valinor#first age#silmarillion

So yeah, this is what happens if you try to look at John while Joseph is talking to you during the Cleansing 😅
#disappointing? yes#entertaining? at least yeah kind of haha#far cry 5#joseph seed#poor joseph#holding my head as best he can and looking weird doing it#me: 👀#joseph: 'you’ve been giv- child... please. you’ve been given a gift.'#my screenshots#far cry 5 screenshots#from a video recorded in my game#it’s thanks to this one I realized john apparently avoids his brother’s gaze#I wrote a post about that a while ago but#when joseph turns to him it looks like they make eye contact for a split second and then john immediately looks down...

Amongst the myriad ways the Voltron: Legendary Defender writers failed spectacularly, is the unintentionally humorous example of Shiro's supposed future husband, "Curtis", having more chemistry with Acxa, in the form of an actual conversation he initiates with the intention of learning personal information about her.
"What about you, Acxa? Did you have pets where you're from?"
"I never had a creature companion. But, one of my partners, Narti, was bonded to an immortal cat named Kova.
That cat gave her the ability to experience the world."
"Oh. That's... 'great'."
This is more than he has with Shiro in the entire thirteen episode season, wherein their interactions are limited exclusively to shouting impersonal commands at each other in the heat of battle.
#Voltron: Legendary Defender#Meta.#VLD Meta.#I don't care what anyone says; I will NEVER acknowledge Shiro and Mr. Set-Dressing's 'relationship' as canon.#There's no chemistry#no build-up#no basis for it#'Curtis' himself has no personality to speak of outside of this interaction#which makes him seem like kind of a jerk (poor Shiro is 2-2 on asshole boyfriends#apparently)#and the animators made 'Curtis' look like a sorry middle-aged loser who went in to try and lift or dip his strapping younger groom#drew up short when he realized he's physically incapable of doing either#and then tried to conceal his shame with a kiss.#All because the asshole showrunners wanted brownie points for helming the first cartoon aimed at a child audience to show an onscreen gay#wedding#after they put Shiro through HELL#KILLED him#only brought him back because they were ordered to#and then treated him like a worthless side character they kept around out of obligation while disrespecting at every feasible turn.#They get no brownie points and they and their joke of a 'wedding' can piss off forever.#All I want is to fly with queue.

MIKE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER FOR ROASTING HIS DUMBASS RESPONSE TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL STUFF!!
grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.
#ramblez#little white boy sad? U sad bc nobody likes you? Bc u constantly make a fool of urself and show off ur distaste for ur fans? lmao#this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me imagine how mad he'll be when he finds out the fangame Im making has queers in it#hes gonna have a whole other white boy meltdown on main KJSNFDGKJHFGKJHGKJHSDFGSD#hes so fucking sensitive maybe just get off of social media Mike this never ends well for you#batim#batdr#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#and look Im joking around about this but it really is sad that the bendy devs cant handle this kind of critique towards their decisions#it seems despite the backlash once again they are choosing to ignore their fans which is yknow upsetting#But hey ig if the devs being awful was a dealbreaker for this fandom I wouldve left a long time ago and I havent#dw Im not going anywhere <3#also if anyone else here was also criticizing Mike maybe check his acct to make sure ur not blocked now since apparently#old habits die hard and this is certainly a pattern with him KJHDSFKGJHSDKFGJHDFGSD#also look before anyone asks yes I was kinda mean to him over this but to put bluntly if hes gonna be this dismissive to his fans concerns#he deserves it. Theres this persistent attitude esp in bendy fanspaces of being defensive of the devs#and I dont know why they have been extremely horrible people every single chance they get#and its very hurtful to see how many people would rather tell me to be kinder to the people who broke the heart of a child me when they#dismissed any ideas of putting queers like me in their stories than to realize Mike n Meatly bring this bad attention to themselves#to put bluntly I dont owe them kindness not until they at least apologize for the shit they did which they still havent#mike hasnt even addressed his vent poem in the code of BATDR let alone the other shit he said n did#so no I will not be kind to him ever hope this helps!

Genuine question but what is it with The Count of Monte Cristo adaptations that almost always lessen the female characters's unique traits and important moments even when they're marketed as "modernized"? You'd think that 21st century writers would know how to keep the characters' defining moments while bettering lesser aspects, yet they're still outdone by Alexandre Dumas somehow.
#the count of monte cristo#the 2024 film in particular is rife with so many issues regarding three characters and every time I think about it#I still can't believe it#Mercedes for one thing has her backstory altered#again....#haydee is at least more independent but then they swapped her entire revenge plan and move against Fernand for#a seduction plot with her and Albert which frankly makes Edmond look like a complete idiot#Villefort's sister Angele is treated horribly......he apparently sells her out to a brothel???#and lmao her only role in the film is to be saved by Edmond#find out about Villefort's illegitimate child#then be sold off and then die when she's telling Edmond this

AU where the second Titan war didn't happen with camp Jupiter because of how Saturn is much more significant in ancient Rome, so even as Kronos he couldn't be effed to fuck with the Romans
So when Percy mentions that he defeated Kronos, Jason is v much "bro what" because, uh, grandpa is much more cool on the Roman end, so how dare you fight the guy who brought peace and agriculture to Latium
#happy talks pjo#its interesting because looking into it there's apparently very little info on jupiter as a child or the overthrow of titans#compared to greek myths where it much more prevalent#i think a much more major part of roman mythology is rhe foundation of rome as a political and sturdy entity#so the creativity that greek mythology engaged in wasnt as important and the conflation/adoption was essentially just sure whatever#like maybe where greeks were serializing the rules and whys of the world and nature around them#romans were more focused on how the rules and foundation of rome affected the world around them#rather than an adherence to the natural world the romans sought more so to make rhe natural world adhere to them - if that makes sense?#im not a historian so idk 😂🤷♂️

Yeah no I didn't come here to watch Adrien date Gabriel 2.0
#also I'm not here to play emotional investment roulette 'in case it eventually turns out to have been bad on purpose'.#this new setup is just all kinds of miserable.#Adrien's previous setup was miserable but had an apparent escape route which LOOKED LIKE that was gonna be his arc.#that escape route has now been patched up. it's GONE. the post-Wish universe is Adrien's new gilded cage#like yeah it's 'realistic' for child abuse victims to later end up in other types of abusive relationships like dating#but damn that's not the lovesquare I signed up for.#I didn't mind it being emotionally difficult but this is WAY past the event horizon#the goal has shifted from hoping for Adrien to survive Gabriel and get the hell away from him#to hoping for Adrien to survive Maribug and get the hell away from her.#they can't still be rooting for the audience to ship it. right?!

seetttthing scalding hot take but honestly i feel no sympathy or theoretical sadness about altea being blown to bits. the few alteans we DO know are all assholes. clearly the universe isn't missing much. in fact, if you look at the only canon universe that DOES still have altea--- they go on to be just as bad as the galran empire if not even worse.
so yeah. maybe zarkon did the universe a small favor before he went truly off the deep end.
edit; just found out alteans destroyed Diabaazal long before zarkon destroyed altea. nothing ANYONE says can convince me alteans are anything *but* the real villain of the show. they got what they deserved.
#calling coran an asshole only bc he's... well. kind of an asshole.#and honestly speciesist.#the first episode always makes me seeth mad over that one line 'look at your synapses firing away in their primitive brain cage!' bc#apparently only alteans can make observations and only alteans have 'evolved' brains#what pidge said wasnt even that ground breeaking of an observation. anyone who wasnt actually blind would be able to see the lions together#that one line was the perfect glimpse into how alteans ACTUALLY behaved and how they ACTUALLY viewed all the planets they colonized.#bc i do not believe for a second that they were actually a 'diplomatic race'.#that's just sparkly language for space colonizers.#and all the times he rambles on about altea while the paladins are stressed. he doesn't even consider their feelings or notice.#their constant dismissal and even insulting of the humans' biological needs and social behaviors. aint no fucking way a diplomatic species#that has traveled the universe and seen and allied with billions of species would behave like that. and it isn't just allura. it's coran to#they constantly compare everything the humans do to what the alteans COULD do. again; first episode allura gets mad at these teenage kids#for not being able to fiht a gladiator 'fit for an altean child'. she gets mad at them for laughing and bonding (the ENOUGH! scene at dinne#allura is self explanatory.#honerva is self explanatory (she was a major asshole long before she became haggar)#lotor is self explanatory#i havent watched past se 6 bc i refuse to but the small bit i have seen from romelle? also an asshole.#and again. alllllll of the comet au alteans.#even alfor is kind of douchey at times. i mean clearly he raised his daughter to do nothing other than kiss his ass.#vld#anti allura
