alien bugs your gs
#i had so much funw ith these............. defintiely want to do more but artfights gotta be priority first#but im really liking thinking about how to design lumith again! its fun figuring out whats standard and then how do i break those rules#life series#mcyt#life series smp#scott smajor#smajor1995#pearlescentmoon#zombiecleo#w1f1 draws#all of the gs are not quiiiite standard in some way :3#cleos got unusually large markings that are kind of just splotches instead of consistent shape markings#scotts got weird ear dangles (those need a better name) and instead of having the streaks like normal it takes up. almost all of his hair.#(lumith natural hair colors sit in a similar range to humans. just they have colored streaks in the same colors as their markings as well)#(but scott is a rare case where its more streaks than normal color but the normal color still shows through a bit at the root. and eyebrows#and pearls got slightly thicker streaks than normal and has two colors instead of one! dark blue and a small touch of light yellow#its nothing in any way that impacts any of their lives. but i like bringing in new variance to lumiths that they didnt really have before#two tones like pearl were kinda a thing i thought of back in likeeeeeeeee late 2020 early 2021? but i didnt do much with that#but pearl felt like something was off if she was only dark blue so i gave her the yellow and it feels right now

When Mapicc did things that hurt Zam she was okay with laying her head low, apologising, changing her morals, working around her oath, and sticking by Mapicc.
Zam did things that hurt Mapicc. They were never directed at him, Often they were done out of refusal to fight him directly. Yet Mapicc still saw the lack of support during Mawn, and how Zam threw hearts at Bacon (when he was their enemy) as betrayal. And was hurt.
Due to Mapicc’s reactions to being hurt being usually violent, and directed towards Zam, it’s easier for his feelings and needs to be overshadowed compared to Zam’s in discussions. Because he sees himself as the victim even after being the perpetrator of some real damaging stuff - stuff that is often way worse than the what is done against him. Because yeah, Despite everything that happened to both of them, Mapicc is sitting on a comfortable 20 hearts, while Zam is on 4 BECAUSE of Mapicc and how many times she has been killed by him. Mapicc’s response to things is usually fighting and violence. He has self preservation and self interest very high on his priority list. While Zam’s n1 response to situations is usually self sabotage. That’s why their conflicts work so well. Zam throws herself at Mapicc many times, and just accepts whatever the outcome is (most of the time she knows she’s gonna lose).
But still Mapicc’s original worries and feelings are still valid. And they come out of a place of care for Zam and insecurity in himself. He just doesn't know how to deal with them. When he’s in a heated discussion with Zam he starts saying how "if killing you is gonna end this conversation, then i will do it” just another way of saying “i would rather hurt you than deal with my own feelings”.
It’s crazy to me that they both seem to not see the care and effort they each put into their relationship. it seems to be all about "who used who more" when, it genuinely is not about that. (Recently yes. Mapicc admitted to using Zam for the flame fight when wanting to cut her off. and yesterday he wanted to use her to get Mane with the arrow cannon). But all this talk about using one another is.. Quite frankly useless.
When Mapicc first mentioned the feeling of being used by Zam, it was all about his jealousy towards Derapchu, Zam’s new 20 heart teammate, and not being included in plans anymore. He felt like Zam was just calling him whenever she was in danger and needed help. Yet during *that talk* After the flame void trap, Zam asked Mapicc to stay by her side, and Mapicc refused. And says “if you ever need help with a fight or are in a dire situation. call me”, when he was accusing Zam of only using him for fights prior to this. Almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. He only sees Himself useful in pvp. So mainly renders himself available for pvp fights. Or it could be projection? He accuses others of seeing him only for PVP skill. When He's the first one to do that. During the same talk he says “I provide what? pvp skill, that’s what i'm saying bro, that’s all i'm good for” And assumes everyone else does too… And I genuinely think this is what this misunderstanding all boils down to: Mapicc’s insecurities about himself, and his place next to people. After a teamless season, Zam pulling away might’ve gone better if it didn’t, in his eyes, prove exactly Mapicc’s worries. (but he's also an hypocrite as he's the first one to throw Zam away when the empire logged back on).
Mapicc pushes his feelings, and Zam, away. Says he didn’t mean the apology that day, because being angry has always been easier than being vulnerable for Mapicc. And this time Zam just doesn’t take it. All this time of having Mapicc’s insecurities being projected onto her, Mapicc actually uses her for the creeking thing, blows up her flower field and he couldn't be more blunt about his hatred for her, when all she's done is be there for him. And she snaps. “Mapicc should’ve known him this way. He just used me”, and looks back and picks apart every single thing Mapicc has done wrong to her, which to be fair. There is a lot. But also conveniently leaves out all of the hearts he gave her, she leaves out how many times Mapicc jumped back into a fight just to try and save Zam, Even though it didn’t benefit him directly. She leaves out how the other day Mapicc left her a heart in a chest. When you have the full picture you KNOW these two care about each other.
They’re so used to being by each other's side, and so bad at communicating the care they have for one another, that the second something goes wrong all they’re left with is their unresolved feelings, that they never got over, and use it as a weapon to hurt the other.
When Zam accuses Mapicc of using her, he replies “how did I use you, what did I get out of you exactly”. Even telling Minute “how did I use him, he’s the dropper” again giving this image of how he sees other’s (and by extension his) value through their fighting skills. As if "It wouldn't make sense that he would use Zam, because she is not as skilled as pvp as him". This of course isn’t what he actually believes. It was almost what he wanted Zam to believe, (and what he wants to believe himself, but he cannot even stick to this version in his head, as he replies that "I never said you did nothing" to Zam. when that's exactly what he was implying) because that is easier to explain, it makes more sense for “Mapicc” to believe that than for him to admit a “i care about you”.
And when Mapicc was alone with his thoughts, he thought about what Zam was saying to him... Did he actually use her? He says that, if he did, it wasn't on purpose.... Well except that one time. Which he sees as justified since Zam gave hearts to his enemy! Bacon... who... is now his teammate...... huh.... and the team really wants them to reconcile and he realizes that it just not might be his call as he was the one that farmed her until she was at 4 hearts... hmmm........ I'm so excited to see where this will go.
#princezam#mapicc#devotion duo#lifesteal smp#letyhide rambles#devotions#im sorry for always bringing up the talk from when flame void trapped Mapicc#it genuinely changed my life#its chill tho#mapicc yesterday implied something about like “i HAD to apologize"#making it seem like she didnt mean it. and just apologized because he felt like Zam would stick by his side#which kinda feeds into Zams ideas of “hes using me”#but Mapicc wasn't planning on playing the server much at that point#why would he need to lie?#he said he wanted to “make things right”. and reminded Zam time and time again how they were still teammates#idk#whatever#lifesteal spoilers#its also so intresting as Zam used to be in Mapiccs position kinda#hearing the other say “you used me” and sit back and think “wait...did i?”#and for mapiccs case he did...#but also previous to the recent stuff#he says he didnt mean to#which..... mhhmmm sounds similair#theyre insane#okay ill stop#im just saying shit idk how coherent this is#idk if there was even a point to this post#just looking back and reflecting i guess

Gaslighter? I hardly know her!

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin guangyao#qin su#The parallels to the mulderskully comic were genuine scripting coincidences that I kept in for the irony.#wwx and mulder both have a strong need to show their beloved (investigation) partner the cool thing they just found.#Much to their chagrin and concern.#For as much of a mess the plot gets in The Untamed...one of the things it does probably the best of all adaptions is setting up JGY.#specifically how we spend time getting to know him as a *Regular Guy* around our deuteragonists' age.#I love how he's present in the cloud recess arc! I was rooting for him as a character! The twist villain reveal felt so heartbreaking!#Here in the audio drama (for as much as it does well) we pretty much get 2 scenes tops with this guy before he's villain monologuing.#before this we know him as 1) the guy NMJ yelled at a lot 2) a suspect 3) leader guy Jin Ling was partially raised by.#The elements are there but but not with any particular depth to make him...interesting (in this version).#Sure we get to learn more after the fact but it just falls so flat in comparison B*/#ohhhh noooo the guy we are pretty sure killed a guy is gaslighting his wife and has a secret torture chamber.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 1.09
Hey, this is it.
#Daredevil Born Again#Karedevil#Karen Page#Matt Murdock#ddba spoilers#Daredeviledit#Daredevil Spoilers#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#SEE they really needed to indicate that what happened to Foggy wasn't just a way to f**k Matt up and make Karen move away.#Maybe spend a minute on paperwork submission shots. An email. A brief text. Have Foggy excitedly brag to Matt and Karen that he has#something to show them tomorrow morning that is going to blow their minds#But no. They just expected that people would hang in there waiting for a point.#I have always loved the mystery solving aspect of this show and so I personally felt very disconnected with everything#for most of this season. So to just bring this up in the last 2 episodes feels a bit late.#But I do love them getting their sleuth on together. And I guess it makes sense if things changed now because Karen's back.#Like her departure paused everything and her arrival back is just as everything hits a new gear.#Matt wasn't meant to work this all out on his own.#I still think it wasn't worth Foggy's life but it's an interesting plot piece.#And I like Matt hyping Karen up at the beginning. Like no duh she's good at finding things - she was a reporter.#Matt should really invest in a coat so he isn't wandering around dressed like Daredevil in places that likely have cameras.#I'd say he could have borrowed one from Frank but... now I'm picturing that conversation and that seems a little farfetched.#Frank has like two outfits I doubt he has a coat he can lend out.#(The new gif limits are crazy FYI. I haven't done much giffing in years so it's so weird not trying to keep everything to less than 3MBs.)

MiqoMarch Day 6 - Secret
The jealousy that began to bubble up, though likely pointless to hide from her of all people, Arsay desperately tried to keep a secret from her dear friend Krile.
#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#arsay nun#dawntrail spoilers#endwalker spoilers#krile baldesion#miqomarch#miqomarch2025#PLEASE TRUST that Arsay was doing her fucking best to not make anything in the last zone about herself#(except maybe when she was geeking out over the south sea lore)#even though she was getting pelted with her own parental abandonment trauma at an ungodly rate#its insane how much arsay was shaking hands with all the main msq characters in this expansion.#the tldr here is Arsay sees her parents in the aitiascope but she couldn't face them at the time and felt like she had to turn away#and instead of reaching/calling out to her anyways they just left. i dont have the tag allowance to explain the nuance in this choice thoug#I have a big thing i'd like to pose that goes more in depth with how arsay feels about this moment thats post 7.1#but this is the first time she /really/ thinks about this moment again and proceeds to do what she does best#She's framed with a big ol mask behind her and that is symbolic thank you#also cant remember if arsays echo cancels out kriles but even if krile has vibe checked arsay in this moment shes not going to bring it up#mostly because Krile has literally no clue about Arsay's parents and the thing in the aitiascope#thats the other secret that's embedded in this situation tbh since really only Graha and Yshtola know about it#i feel bad ruining this nice moment in canon but arsay also doesnt need krile to thank her for welcoming her on an adventure#because arsays would have welcomed krile on an adventure regardless of combat abilities#and like they also went through eureka together of course she trusts krile with her life already

N2 au Brucey babe!! He really doesnt change much tbh, it's mostly just an outfit change plus his gropes about his brother would be a bit different in that they're extended to all of them and not just JD, theyre just mostly centered around JD.
Cuz from his side he knew all of his brothers were alive at least Floyd, JD, and Branch. He just couldn't leave Vacay island, at first due to fear, and then he started a family there (first kid was accidental).
He'd heard rumors about JD and the others due to JD traveling all over the place and hed sent put the postcard as a way of extending an olive branch and then nobody showed up :/
Also Bruce's outfit change is purely for me I hate drawing his canon vest lmao
#my art#trolls#dreamworks trolls#trolls 3#trolls bruce#n2 au#trolls au#not the only one au#bruce didnt really need to be changed#but i did want to add a bit to him#when he left the first place he went was vacay island#he only planned to stay for a little bit and then head back#but days turned to weeks which turned to months and then years#eventually he met and fell in love with brandy#they were planning on leaving vacay island together to visit his brothers#brandy had volunteered to essentially be his shield in case bergens showed up#but then bruce jr happened#and then the restaurant happened as a way to support the new family#so bruce felt stuck#so he was like if i cant go there ill bring them here#and sent jd a postcard which got very misinterpreted#so both sides thinks the other just doesnt want to see them#and then 20 years later his brothers do show up but only because they need something#and theyre doing it on behalf of jd who he assumes for like the first 30 sec was too much of a coward to say it himself#then he finds out the details and hes like oh shit okay-#and theyre fine but the anger and salt is still festering#idk if there would be a climatic argument like there was in the film#if anything it would just be them trauma dumping on eachother#i dont think theyd split up though#or what would spark it since jd isnt there to be bossy

me: finally accepting theres a good chance im autistic and starting to work up the courage to ask my parents to see if i could get a diagnoses but being scared to
my mom: do you ever think you have adhd? if you want to do a screening for add next time your at the doctors you can
me:
#for context im terrified of being the person who sees stuff online and diagnosis themselves and then is wrong#which is why it took me so long to accept im —probably— autistic (bc now i have done research and stuff for it)#and id see adhd things that were relatable but i felt i related more to the autism + self diagnosing both felt weird (for me not in general#but now like. my mom is willing to accept i might have add??#(there was a long talk in between her asking if i ever thought i had it and her saying i could get a screening where we both agreed that#—if i did have it— i didnt have the hyperactive part. hence the add vs adhd thing)#and now that kinda through off my plans because like. what if i do also had adhd. or something#so yeah small crisis woo#i need to actually look i to symptoms and stuff for adhd though#because im not saying anything til i know more about it and if i actually do have a lot of the things#but this also gives me a chance go write about the autism things as well bc i told my mom i would look into the adhd#so now i can hopefully find a way to bring that up#ive mentioned that autism is a spectrum recently which i didnt think she knew before#so progress i guess#wow long rant in the tags whoops#jasper’s posts#moots have some jaz lore i guess

22-64: Who's At Fault for the Rain?
The masked ninja had a demand note for a soy milk payment. He insisted it wasn’t him who bought it. However, the person who placed the order is unknown. Meanwhile at Urayama, Tachibana-senpai is engaged in a fight with a suspicious man.
first half can be found here.
finally went ahead and got this wrapped up. this is the second half to an arc that is an adaptation of the last chapter of volume 52 of the manga, along with the stolen signboard arc immediately preceding it (that also happens to feature the Dokusasako ninjas iirc!). gingin! every episode where tomesaburou and monjirou have petty arguments is a good episode.
it's been a while since I've revisited subbing, so if there's any major inconsistencies between phrasing and format here and my previous work, feel free to reach out and let me know.
mega link here: (x)
youtube link here (unlisted): (x)
Happy watching!
extra notes under the cut!
my knowledge on terms used mostly within the context of the show's time period and related to ninjas is a little rusty (see comment about subbing), but I tried my best. if any history nerds want to chime in and correct me, sound off in the comments below haha
the name of senzou's weapon: Bomb was easier to conceptualize visually for a general audience than fire arrow, but I added an extra note up top in case someone comes across the latter term so it isn't immediately unfamiliar. both the official nhk episode index and amako soubei's book on ninja equipment use 宝禄火矢 (hourokuhiya) as the spelling in kanji, so I went with that for the translator's notes.
zanchi saga 1 (background): perfunctory research refers to zanchi as spies left to infiltrate enemy territories for extended periods of time to establish relationships with the local population and gather intel, though it mostly seems to be in a modern context (notably, Onoda Hiroo who actually fits Senzou's description of a zanchi pretty well). i'm not sure if its usage and meaning differs in a muromachi period context or not, though. history nerds! sound off in the comments!
zanchi saga 2 (the puns): Wordplay hurts... For the sake of the lunch/zanchi pun, since it's explained in the show, zanchi was left in its romanized form. Rantarou's mispronounciation was a lot more of a headache. I tried my best, viewer, I really did.
#another formatting update. i thought arial bold was a little corny. let me know how you all feel!#nintama#nintama rantarou#fansubs#mine#rkrn#looking back i think I could've found a better paced way to translate kusemono but it's only really been a problem in episode 63. hopefully#it looks fine here!#i don't have any plans to sub the stolen signboard arc and I don't think you need to know it to go into this one but they are back to back#so I felt it was imperative to bring it up anyway.

bro come back we need your commentary more than ever. Jayhelena canon event
AHAHAHA I'VE BEEN LOSING MY MIND FOR DAYS ANON HOW'D YOU KNOW. perfect moment to show off the shitty meme i made based off a random message i sent in a discord server a couple of weeks ago.
jokes aside: i do have a LOT of thoughts on all of this, and even more thoughts on the reaction to it so ty for giving me the chance to rant.
as far as the comic itself goes: i am? cautiously optimistic, personally? hopes are high but expectations are grounded. Gretchen Felker-Martin is a *fantastic* trans horror writer (i highly rec her novel, Manhunt) but she's pretty new to the comics scene. she's written a single issue with Jason, a Beast World story that's pretty polarizing. most fans i know dislike it, my personal opinions on it are... it's a bit lackluster? i think some parts of it miss the mark on Jason's psyche, but the overall theme it's trying to convey about cycles of violence enacted on victims like Jason and police brutality are interesting. while it's not a great start for GFM with Jason, the Beast World event was so shit overall, and the whole concept of all these characters being "not themselves" mentally, i'm willing to overlook it. (idk if there are any good BW stories but all the ones i've read are shite... Helena's BW story has her literally being beaten by Cass using a laser pointer on her so... i will take *anything* over that personally lmao at least GFM seems genuinely interested in exploring Jason's inner workings, yk) it could go really well, or really poorly. i don't think we have enough info on GFM's writing to know how she'll handle an ongoing with these two, but my fingers are desperately crossed.
the main concerns i have about the comic are firstly the plot itself: which is described as Jason tracking down a cop-killer, and how that could so easily become copaganda. however, the Beast World issue GFM wrote was incredibly anti-cop. (and she even said on her bluesky that ppl shouldn't be worried about this run being pro-cop) so, i do think there's hope there. my other worry is the history of these characters GFM can't control- this story is happening right after H2SH which is frankly, a fucking disaster for Jason. and Helena's biggest Rebirth feature was Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, which was an even bigger disaster for her mythos. neither of these characters are standing on great foundations, and i haven't cared for either of their current characterizations for the past decade or so. it's an uphill battle for even a fantastic writer to try to meld good characterization with the current state of these two, and i could see it screwing GFM over, which rlly sucks she's not getting as fair of a shot as she could be.
all that said, the aesthetics look fantastic (tho, i'm not personally the biggest fan of either suit redesign) and i do love getting Helena and Jason out of Gotham, bc it means we won't have the everlooming Bat presence hanging over their actions. and as for the romance? i'm CACKLING. i've *always* suspected that if we ever were lucky enough for a Jason/Helena team-up, they were bound to end up fucking, and i'm DELIGHTED to be vindicated. this ship is one i do adore in concept (mostly as a hatefuck sort of thing) but could see go horribly. i trust GFM to write women, so i don't think Helena's going to get sidelined as a one-dimensional love interest, which is the biggest fear i've seen expressed. it's not *entirely* unlikely she'll be OOC (i don't think we know enough to comment either way atp, given GFM has never written her) but i do think she's going to be dynamic in this run. and honestly? with the shit content Jason has been getting recently (Robin Lives, the current fuckass Jaybin comic) and Helena having her backstory mutiliated and getting sidelined to hell as current comics don't seem to know what to do with her, i want this to go well *so* badly. i'm rlly hoping it will! and i do think the romance can absolutely work in a fun and interesting way. wouldn't be my top canon pick for either character, but i love the intrigue of it and how these two could (and hopefully are going to) challenge each other and find solidarity in their respective victimhoods.
that said, i certainly don't begrudge Helena fans for being pessimistic about this comic, or disliking the concept in principle. i'd far prefer Helena be getting a solo than be a supporting cast/love interest for a man's run. that said, i think calling this run a "power fantasy" and "wank content" (takes i have seen) is absolutely asinine. we don't have it in our hands yet, we literally can't say until it's out. (and tbfh- these takes are transphobic against GFM, even if unintentionally.) but at this point, i think anything is something for Helena, and i am not going to insult the concept until i've seen the story. if Helena fans don't want to read this bc they don't like Jason or just don't want to see her sidelined, i get that entirely.
beyond that, the take i am *not* a fan of is that this is bad bc Helena has been Dick's love interest. anyone who says *that* loses all validity to their argument for me. Helena has been a dynamic character long before she met Dick and to *only* view her as an extension of Dick and thus define every future relationship she has through Dick is the most ass backwards misogyny i've seen. also. it's comics, man. everyone's going to team up with everyone and fuck everyone. it's just the nature of these characters getting used over and over and over. it's so wildly degrading to Helena to pretend you're protecting her dignity and honor by not wanting her around Jason, or by treating her as just "Dick's love interest". (when she and Dick never properly even *dated* and have never been right for each other. that was sort of the whole point. but i digress.) i also think some takes from Helena stans about Jason are made in incredibly bad faith, just because some Helena stans find some sort of superiority complex in liking her and hating him. it has always read incredibly performative to me.
in summary: i have been deserpate for *years* for these two to interact, and i'm genuinely looking forward to reading this comic. i have reasons to be a little doubtful of some issues that *might* come up, but GFM is a great novelist and i hope that translates to her ability to write a great ongoing. did i ever *actually* want this ship to go canon? no, but under a queer woman whose pretty solid at exploring intersectionality and leftist politics in her works, i'm willing to hear it out.
and just so we're clear: the *second* this comic is out i'm putting the Robles variant cover where Jason and Helena are almost kissing straight on my wall. even if the comic is shit. i'm forever immortalizing it as a giant win for me personally, one of the few ppl capable of liking Jason Todd and Helena Bertinelli at the same time and being cool with the idea of them kissing, lol.
#necrotic answerings#necrotic festerings#jason todd#helena bertinelli#helena bertinelli x jason todd#red hood#huntress#<- I am putting this post on PvP by putting it in the main tags I usually don't do that. but i'm feeling spicy.#if you try to bring up stupid reasons Helena would dislike Jason on my post I will fight you#ESP if those reasons include mildly misrepresenting green arrow: seeing red. i'm watching you fucks.#no but i'm so serious my biggest complaint is the suits. why is jason's suit so busy#why have we invented a new way for Helena to show off her waist#why is it PINK#her suit was never pink guys i PROMISE#even in her debut it was purple I SWEAR I have her debut issue on my wall#I am staring at it with my eyeballs rn it's PURPLE#the 1994 run had some pinkish accents but that's IT#get her out of the PINK#anyway i'm terrified of this comic. I have felt emotions I didn't expect I could feel when it was announced#like four ppl sent it to me. I was bamboozled.#it is fucking wild that before this Jason and Helena have been on page together *once*#and they didn't interact whatsoever.#I want this. but I'm scared of this. oh dear god I'm begging for it to be good.#i'm a little scared of *certain* Jason fans getting their hands on Helena but it's fine. i will survive.#if you're a Jason fan and you need a Helena reading list I AM READY JUST ASK HELP IS ON THE WAY.#anyway you guys should follow gfm on social media#she's funny as hell and has some great takes on comics and trans politics#read her books. read manhunt.#I am legally requiring everyone to read manhunt before they post a shit take about how this comic is going to write women.#back from the grave again bc this is so fucking funny. how did I get this. 2025 blessed me I think.

rewatching s1 and in ep2 w*ndigo, dean makes a joke about not bringing provisions into the woods just to pull out a bag of peanut butter m&m’s and stick with me here, it’s why the later seasons’ “goofy dean” loses me
this moment is clearly a joke but if you think about it too much, it also makes some sense; a family size bag of peanut m&m’s is calorie dense and even the high sugar is good to keep you moving which they need on an overnight hunt. it also shows how due to their upbringing, they’ve had to eat lower quality food, things they always had access to that was cheap and also in bulk
what does dean eating ghost pepper jerky then tipping water on himself exist for other than to be a cringy joke? what does smelling old chinese food, testing to see if it's still good then shaking his head with cabbage hanging out his mouth when it isn't serve? it's just to make him look stupid and contrast sam's healthy/clean diet (and superiority but that’s another conversation) which has always existed but it used to be nuanced and natural
we see dean as a child give up the food he wanted to eat so sam could eat it. (“i’m sick of spaghetti-os,” “you’re the one who wanted them,” … “i want lucky charms!” “… there’s only enough for one bowl and i haven’t had any yet!” proceeds to give them to sam, 1x18) we know he hustled and stole food to ensure sam ate. (“so, what’d he take?” “get this- peanut butter and bread.” 9x07)
we also see throughout the early seasons dean teasing sam about his salad or healthy choice while he eats some form of burger or other fast food (or notably, cheerfully eating prison food that sam won’t touch, 2x19). it's typical sibling teasing but it also shows that it isn't new for sam to eat like that and for dean to know he eats like that
sam being picky isn't just a character trait they chose for him, it's a result of how dean raised him; he raised him to like and want healthy food and be food secure enough to reject food he didn't want
but dean eats anything he is given and seeks out unhealthy - cheap, plentiful, filling - food
he is the opposite of picky to the point of it being a consistent bit; they show him multiple times eating when it's socially frowned upon to do so eg. questioning a grieving victim when they're trying to be discreet (1x14, 2x15, 2x18)
a similar moment to the chinese food is in 4x19; dean wakes up in the car while sam brushes his teeth outside and is hungry. sam says there's a sandwich in the backseat, dean smells it and recoils bc it's an old tuna sandwich. the moment is funny on its own but it also exists as a comparison of their lives to adam's; he has a loving mother, goes to school and importantly, a steady stable childhood
it’s a joke with a purpose
it also supports dean's food insecurity; he wakes up and is immediately hungry, enough to complain about it and seek out food before anything else
dean is always hungry bc he never has access to nutritionally rich foods bc he got used to using the money he earned to buy sam's more expensive food. he got used to his cheaper, denser foods and grew up with (and continues to live with) intermittent access to said foods. think of how long it takes to drive from one state to another; how many hours it can take to see another town that offers food, if you arrive at a reasonable enough time for anything to be open. also think how they can’t keep any food beyond what fits in an esky; nothing that needs defrosting, nothing can be heated up. it’s bags and jars and take out for as long as they can trust it
then they get the bunker which has its own kitchen
dean even describes himself as "nesting" when he decorates his room, something he hasn't had since he was four years old, and he uses said kitchen to cook a burger from scratch that he is proud of. he is food secure for the first time in his life and it shows in how often he cooks for both himself and sam
so these moments where they have him acting goofy regarding food are no longer character driven and only exist as a joke which is why they come across as cringy and out of character compared to similar earlier moments
a lot of my issues with dean's characterisation started when they introduced the bunker. the argument can and is made that the reason these jokes happen is bc he feels safe in the bunker, that bc he now has a home he can relax and unmask but that still doesn't feel sufficient. they crank up these sillier moments for both of them, giving them a sort of playing house comedy vibe of two roommates with completely different personalities but it doesn't feel like an authentic progression. it feels forced; an attempt at humour for humour's sake
food stopped being an informed part of their characters and their trauma and instead became flanderised; sam is the judgy vegetarian health nut and dean is his borderline slovenly carnivore counterpart
#12 yr old dean throwing a bag of veggie chips at sams head and saying ‘dont forget your vegetables’ actually makes me want to scream#sam not knowing or not acknowledging how much dean did for him throughout their childhood kills me#hes always saying how bad it was or later on saying at least john did his best#it wouldve been so much worse if dean was just a little more resentful#its not limited to the later seasons ill fully admit that#it literally became a plot point in s7 with the leviathans infecting the corn syrup and dean complaining about eating ‘rabbit food’#bc hes ‘a warrior’ and needs his ‘road food’ while sam brings him to a farmers market#it comes up in at least two seperate episodes and it started to annoy me then too trust me it already felt ooc#its not just food moments either; i hate the food socks and his robe and playing with the sword too#whenever they decide to make him act stupid to help bolster sams smarts and maturity#something that used to be naturally occurring without tearing dean down bc deans smart too and was literally parentified hes plenty mature#the narrative tries so hard to make dean the dumb fighter and sam the book nerd and its such a disservice to both of them#dean isnt an idiot and not just about hunting; he has a favourite author and an encyclopaedic knowledge of music and movies#hes just as learned about sam when it comes to hunting and the show used to have that; even correcting sam and explaining things to him#and sams had plenty of one on one fight scenes AND fight scenes against dean that are almost always draws#you cant show them with this nuance then act like it never existed#i remember bitch#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#carry on my wayward son#talk meta to me#supernatural#spn#dean winchester#sam winchester#meta#save post#supernatural meta

With the context that (we’re assuming) the reason the characters in Escape from the Vault are stuck there is because they’re fan favourites, Tom asking if they’re there because they’re gay is hysterical, because honestly… the answer is kind of yes
#also I know it’s been said a million times but I just want to say how much I appreciate the boys being so supportive#like having Snakehips be canonically queer#and André Beetroot too#and Fullsetto#(we already knew that but I don’t want to leave it out)#(I guess we already knew that André was queer too#after the podcast#but I still wanted to bring it up)#I don’t know what my point is really#I’m just really grateful#anyway going back to the point of the post#I know other people have pointed that out too#but I felt the need to make a post about it#so here you go#honestly these tags have been a mess#I’m fucking exhausted#shoot from the hip#sfth#sfth dnd#sfth patreon#Escape from the Vault

rick bringing percy and annabeth back in cameos just to consistently shit on their characters is enough to ruin my mood for at least a week
#the tone his books carry with percy and annabeth being made to feel guilty for being shitty forgetful friends will never not be BULLSHIT#esp when you need to create literal plot holes to do it. bob is not supposed to exist after the events of hoh#or even if you forgot that little detail (what are editors for again?) he shouldn't have regenerated that fast#and even if we ignore all of that#why the fuck would percy and annabeth be able to do anything in the first place? how and why would they jump back into the pit#like stop taking these characters out of their own series just to include a cheap ooc cameo scene with them that does#absolutely nothing for the plot and adds nothing to their characters#except you know ... make them look and feel bad for shit they shouldn't#using nico to do this as well is just so ... leaves a bad taste in my mouth quite frankly#like nico literally killed bryce and let octavian kill himself or wtv bc he /understands/ that there are some things u cant prevent#and saving your friends lives in times of literal war is .. what anyone else would do#so like ??? leave these characters ALONE jfc#and the fun part is there is plenty there to use for emotional tension with nico and percy specifically#you dont need a contrived out-of-character moment with percy bob annabeth and nico when u already have#the events of the first 5 books which.. nico and percy never really talk about after the war#not that they need to talk about it but if u needed to give nico something to reflect on about percy's flawed moments#there's all of pjo to pick from. bc wrapping up everything theyve been through and felt bc of the other the way rick did in boo#is also bullshit. if you were going to bring percy back at least give us a more fleshed out scene between the two#it was such a wasted opportunity that was spent on making percy and annabeth look bad instead lmao#and i will never not be angry about it#it would have made the scene where nico is looking at percy in a new light after realizing how much he carried in tlo hold more weight#both in a literal and metaphorical sense bc yeah percy was carrying a lot! so to have nico who put him on a pedestal and watched him fall#have a moment of reflection would have been way more meaningful if rick hadnt just shit on his character a few pages ago lmfao#rr crit#cin's txt.
