St. Hilarion's ghost story
#payneland#edwin x charles#dead boy detectives#dbda#pre canon angst brought to you by the weirdo who's always drawing post canon fluff#something about oral tradition and old timey slang#i took quite a lot of decisions with this one so buckle up#first of all the female ghost keeps edwin's eyes color because there's still some truth to the legend#the background is the same shade of green to reference hell#just like it is when he's having his flashback#alive charles is dressed all in black because he's not a happy boy#i also made it so that he grips his clothes when his mate punches him even as it's intended to be friendly#because well#these people will end up killing him so it's less friendly when you remember THAT#charles obviously doesn't mean anything by the mary ann comment#he doesn't know the slang meaning and just blurted out what he remembered from the legend#he will find out reach some conclussions and go punch a wall about it probably#about edwin tho his escape is still very recent and he didn't expect this#but even so early on he knows charles means no harm and allows himself to be comforted#it wasn't intentional but hey edwin shruggin off charles' touch is a good parallel to that one scene after charles “kills” the night nurse

rhaenyra outsourcing motherhood to rhaena and assigning her that passive feminine role was REALLY interesting….. rhaenyra as a character is at her most fascinating when she is forced to navigate and ultimately perpetuate the gendered structures she despises and wishes she could transcend— the seeds of her tragedy already sewn here. just great character work
#esp because in the books rhaena is painted as the sweet peaceful girly girl to baela’s gnc rebellion#but woah it’s cool that theyre both actually straining at it. wah#it’s also very targ women can only escape the bounds of the patriarchy when they have their dragons and even then they actually cant.#like thats an illusion of freedom for the most part ☹️#hotd#hotd spoilers#obviously rhaenyra doesnt really have much of a choice here but thats the point it’s a system#and to have any power at all you will have to crack under the desires of that system and the whims of your stupid misogynist vassals#thats the rosby stokeworth thing!!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!#what would you sell to break your chain. who would you throw under your wheels#god rhaenyra is just a triumph of adaptation huh. theyre gonna hit that swing into selling her soul so hard

see i can never get over 999knw because why does orv establish right after he's introduced that:
he believes his mistake is what killed the 999th turn's yoo joonghyuk
he thinks maybe he should've died before they even met
and now he's aware of the current turn, where these two things are true:
yoo joonghyuk is alive
kim namwoon is dead
imagine believing you're at fault for everything that went wrong and thinking maybe you’d be better off dead
and then ending up in another timeline that essentially confirms it. you were right! you should have died back then. don't you think so too, captain?
#orv#kim namwoon#orv spoilers#can you hear me. it's so dark in here#orvposting#this isnt even getting into how he thinks jihye blames him too (obviously just projection. but why. why would you think that#shaking him like a soda can#also on some meta level#omniscient reader’s viewpoint is kim dokja’s story right#I guess it tracks that it would be particularly cruel to knw#(...so he escapes being a character in the end. he can still have a happy ending despite it all...!

Eddie coming home to Steve and their little daughter yelling “there’s my favorite princess!” and then lifts Steve up and spins him around.
After placing him down he kneels in front of their daughter, bows and kisses her tiny hand and thanks her for “keeping the princess safe, o mighty warrior”
#and obviously hugs and kisses her later because he missed his little warrior#coming home from tour or whatever#or maybe just from work and this is every day occurrence lmao#steve harrington#eddie munson#Steddie#steve x eddie#sorry steve but you’re the princess of the family there’s no escape from that

i have begun to suspect that the question is not "where is zagreus" but rather "when is zagreus"
#i kinda rotated the idea in my brain a bit after chronos isekai'd melinoe to hades 1-era asphodel#and then i got to the third time fighting him + the flashback and like. hear me out ok#he notes that melinoe is capable of escaping his techniques. 'your brother was not so fortunate'#and it's obviously not identical but the way he freezes everyone in time is not dissimilar to what he does before sending melinoe back#and based on the state hades and hypnos are in i think it's possible that everyone has met a different fate relevant to their character#and that particular bit of pre-fight dialogue implies he could be in cosmic time-out somewhen#how does this all get resolved? who knows!#personal#hades ii spoilers#hades 2 spoilers#hades ii#hades 2#this game has a vice grip on my brain. i was enjoying it from the start but this fates business is cool as fuck#best of

Daisuke to me represents the type of person who you have to bottle up your pain around because they are ill equipped to handle it. He would realistically not know what to do realizing that among the people he idolizes one is this horrendous monster, especially since he is so optimistic to a hazardous level to himself.
This makes his relationship with Anya so upsetting because as much as he could confide in her she could never confide in him. That very conscious fact/choice on her part is a constant reminder of her suffering along with the hopeless inability to do anything herself about it that ruins her mental state more.
#a very common tactic of abusers is to surround themselves in unaffiliated groups so their victims feel less secure outing them as abusers#it’s common enough that they know the person may not be believed or will be seen as the aggressor for trying to make problems between peopl#who personally had none with the abuser or use the leverage of those parties not deserving to be burdened with the knowledge as a way to#escape responsibility and while we don’t know how intentional this is on Jimmy’s part I think it was very intentional on Wrong Organs#seeing as Anya only tells Curly and Swansea in secure and secluded locations and obviously doesn’t let Daisuke know#not to mention how easy it is to sway Daisuke in convincing him to drug Swansea whether he realized the severity of the action#but back to the direct relationship Anya would definitely feel a unique pain at seeing Daisuke be so friendly to Jimmy and be none the wise#to why she isn’t#mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#nurse anya

welcome to another installment of 'what if the radiant emperor was a whole nother thing', vol. shounen manga
this was fueled by a completely normal post wondering abt ouyang's blade, and then me trying to figure out a universe where he'd wield the zhanmadao
#the radiant emperor#she who became the sun#he who drowned the world#zhu yuanzhang#general ouyang#esen temur#ma xiuying#my art#playing another round of is this even for anyone#in my days of ailment and suffering I've been doing nothing but watching anime#so these happened organically and like an evil prophecy coming to life#notice how i haven't drawn my oh tea pea bc Balance!#actually no I'm just too tired after painting that ma#maybe I'll do more covers later with the rest of these dickbags. and xu da.#this is the one where! ouyang escapes soon after all the ouyangs have been killed!#so obviously he ends up w zhu at some point and they're buddies and zhu lounges behind him and claps as he slaughters!#they're friends they're buds they're besties#and the ouyang esen business happens as unhingedly but more nemesis to ally to friend to crazyinsane no-straight-explanation manga mind meld

The thing about ztd is that each teams are doing different genre. Q team is doing straight horror. D team? Shitty(/pos) low budget sci fi movie. C team is soap opera characters stuck in a horror movie.
And this is why its peak
#Im exagerating obviously#all those genre are present in all teams#but those are the strongest#this stand with my “999 is mystery#vlr is tragedy#and ztd is horror#agenda#anyway#idk how coherent I am btw Im posting about zero escape to disctract myself from a lot of pain#zero escape#zero escape zero time dilemma#zero time dilemma#ztd#ztd spoilers#maybe?#just in case

Once again thinking about Poe being able to bring parts of his ability to life, in very limited ways ofc otherwise he’d be too op lets be real
Like you back the man into corner and he sets you on fire, you die but then all the burns go away like it wasn’t ever real. It felt real. But you’re alive and now you know what it is like to die
A bit of cheeky horror 👁️👁️
#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs fanart#bungou stray dogs poe#edgar allen poe#edgar allan poe#edgar allen poe bsd#bsd edgar allan poe#bsd poe#poe bsd#digital doodles#digital sketch#this is messy af but that’s okay#twas just an idea#and also idk how to draw fire lets be real#anyway there’s an inherent horror in Poe’s ability being fiction#by definition “not real”#to have his enemies deaths feel to so real and awful but as long as someone escapes the book you live in the non-fiction world again#🫡 kinda loving him#(obviously)

Any pronouns you apply to yourself can be whatever gender you want em to be if the vibes are right. You can be he/him non-binary if you want. You can be an it/its woman. Go nuts go apeshit
#Making a post that actually says what that post that escaped transfem circles kept getting misunderstood as#Genderfluid#Nonbinary#Genderqueer#This obviously doesn't apply to people being shitty about your pronouns#Fuck em

#I swear they need to bring back media literacy classes#they choreographed the hand-off of the broach so obviously#so that galadriel could use it to escape#OMMMGGG IT'S SO AWKWARD WHAT IF CELEBRIAN FINDS OUT#bitch if my husband kissed my mother thousands of years ago so that my mother could escape captivity do you actually think I'd care#poor robert acted his ass off in this episode#and all anyone is talking about is THE KISS#they literally hold your hand through the scene#letting you see him take off the broach and hide it in his hand and then panning out so you can see the orcs look away when he kisses her#and then him passing her the broach and her escaping and adar seeing and picking up the broach on the ground#rings of power#rop season 2#rop season 2 spoilers#lotr#rop spoilers

dipper & mabel would have the grunkles do the ‘twin telepathy test’ where they’re standing on different sides of a door and it’s been nearly 40 years but they Do all the same shit, stan would dismiss it & ford would watch the footage over like he’s studying a bug
#pines twins#stanford pines#stanley pines#gravity falls#grunkle stan#they’d even hold up the same amount of fingers for the number guess#which feels even less likely with ford having 12 numbers to choose from compared to stan#they have similar old man habits they can’t escape being from jersey unfortunately that was a pact forged in blood#also stan dismisses it but it does warm his heart OBVIOUSLY#old man show feelings normal challenge difficulty impossible
