girls when [we’ve been waiting, tsuna-kun. you were right about coming alone. if you had brought along a troop, there would have been more dead bodies to deal with] [destroy the defeated... was it so impossible for them to fight one another...? then there must have been a misunderstanding...] [there wasn’t] [but i’m not mafia!! i don’t have an ounce of pride as mafia!!] [you’re still going on about that? you’ve stained your hands as a mafia boss, haven’t you?]
[when this fight is over, i’ll go save big brother, as well as you guys. it just doesn’t feel right!! the more we fight... the fact that you guys are falling victim to this fight...] [that’s none of your business!!] [shittopi-chan... koyo, and rauji... and my... precious... everything’s because of you...!!] [sawada tsunayoshi!! i’ll defeat him right here and now!! shitt p-chan... kouyou... rauji... and the people who’re precious to me have been hurt by the vongola... i can’t forgive them!!!] [the same goes for me... despite knowing how that feels... why... you made my friends suffer!!] [you’re doing the same thing to us] [shut up!! you don’t have the right to say anything!!] [don’t think that you’re the only one who’s angry!!]
[this strength... so cold and heartless. i only see the legitimate successor of the ruthless vongola primo] [primo is not the man you think he is. and i don’t intend to inherit the current vongola] [hahaha, you’re still saying that. that’s just unfair of you, sawada tsunayoshi. isn’t the crest on your gloves proof of the vongola? that’s who you’ll always be] [you’re at the center of the vongola, and have been benefiting the most from the vongola’s power. and then, when the going gets tough, you escape from the responsibility] [wielding the vongola crest, getting others involved, hurting them, then saying that you won’t succeed as the boss. you hope too much] [......!! ...... no!! i didn’t mean to hurt others! i want to use this power to protect my friends! that’s how it’s been until now... and always will be!] [a fraud like primo. you liar. do you seriously think you could escape from your bloody fate?]
[chrome, and of course, enma kozato, too... we’ll save them, because they’re our friends] [wait. i want you to leave this to me. enma’s gonna be okay] [i don’t want to be alone... it’s lonely...] [there’s no one here. i’m all alone... it’s so lonely... help!!] [it’s me!! wake up, enma!!] [it’s lonely... i don’t want to be alone] [i’m here!! i’m right here!!] [i know this voice... who is it? my... friend? oh...] [!! tsuna-kun!!] [it’s okay now. i’ve come to help you] [tsuna-kun, like vongola primo. you didn’t betray me]
[get out of here!! i’ll kill everyone!!] [no, i’m going to save you!! no matter what!!] [i will definitely save you!! i swear on my pride!!] [pride...? did he just say pride? what is tsuna-kun’s pride...?] [what is your pride, tsuna-kun?] [my pride is... you. my pride is... my comrades, my friends!!] [the battle between vongola and simon is now nullified! please release kyoko-chan’s brother and the simon family from the prison!] [i agree with tsuna!!]
[what you say might be true. tsuna-kun’s father might have... but... i won’t hate him again. besides, he... he would never betray anyone, for anything] [our friendship is... it won’t change] [vongola... simon... none of that matters. tsuna-kun is the only person from outside my family that’s... my friend!] almost besties despite (because of) being narrative foils are manipulated into being each other’s enemy but decide to break the cycle instead

the chunin exams arc was so interesting for how it portrayed sakura's potential and how people in her life influenced it. kakashi lying about the team-based enrollment criteria because he thinks sakura would be likely to sign up only to appease sasuke, and being genuinely surprised when she shows up anyway. naruto being completely oblivious when sakura was upset preceding the exams and also after she cut her hair in the forest of death. naruto literally dreaming about saving sakura from enemies, being the hero to her damsel-in-distress. sakura moulding herself into a perfectly feminine lady because that's what society demanded and what she thought sasuke would want. versus sasuke calling her out for focusing too much on romance instead of her skills like she should be doing. sasuke picking up that she was upset because she felt inadequate and reminding her of what she was best at -- maybe even better than him -- and never begrudging her for it. ino hacking into her mind because she was sure, not a single doubt in her mind, that sakura would know the answers to the impossible questions on the written exam. ino and sasuke both stepping in to save her during her fight with the sound nin, but only after being spurred on by the brutal beating she took. ino and sasuke getting frustrated with naruto when he commented on how her haircut looked because it made sakura trivialize her experience and offer a fake explanation about women being fickle. the flashbacks revealing to us that ino affirmed that she would one day bloom into a beautiful flower. ino and sasuke serving as a catalyst for sakura to get stronger before pt 1 and pt 2 respectively. idk do you see what i'm seeing

> FERDINAND II.
And so your PLANT shall henceforth be known as FERDINAND II.
The thought of needing to inform FERDINAND I of his having a namesake makes you a bit ill, but you are already hard at work devising several plausible excuses for the gesture. Something about how you've named it after the one most invested in its naming, or how it is similarly prone to drooling. Yes. Yes, you will be able to deflect quite easily, should the need arise. It has nothing to do with your fondness for FERDINAND or your desire for a substitute in his imminent absence, no—again, you are not so prone to sentimentality. It's about the drool.
Well, anyway. Best to move on with your day and think about something else, lest you grow maudlin or cultivate further affection for the PLANT. May the GODDESS be merciful and never cause you to develop inclinations that could be described as paternal.
Now that your plant has received sufficient care, it is time for COFFEE. You set to making your morning brew. By CHANCE, there happens to be sufficient water remaining in the kettle for FERDINAND I to have TEA, should he wish it.
Per your TIMEPIECE, it is now a quarter to eight. You have made excellent progress on your PRE-BREAKFAST TO-DO LIST thus far: the only remaining task is to remove FERDINAND. You are starting to get rather peckish and would like to be rid of him quickly, but over the past week, you have found that extracting the man from YOUR QUARTERS is a more arduous task than it ought to be.

dapg upload today? something needs to pull me out of the dapc haze. i feel like i've read every analysis possible and i'm going slightly insane 😭😭
aww anon i understand--this type of analysis is not what we're used to here, especially for several days in a row. i've got experience in a different fandom where it was essentially these intense symbolism breakdowns and discussions all day every day, but i know it isn't for everyone. it definitely takes a lot of brain power to even just read them, let alone write them.
i'll be honest that i'm kind of living for the dapc content here on tumblr--everyone is so talented and i am devouring every theory and art piece. its really breathed some new life into our little community and i'm actually gonna be sad once it's over.
i get where you're coming from and it's understandable if you need to take some time, cause the subject matter is dark and gorey and since that's not typically what we come to dnp (or dnp tumblr) for, it can be a lot to process. i really want to show them that there Is an audience for this and we see the vision and adore it, so i don't want to rush them into whatever the next thing is. give this space to breath. let her have her moment yknow? but at the same time, i'm so curious how they're gonna segue. we're in a whole new era, not to mention the fact that it's taken over the merch website! will they drop the curtain? are we gonna get dapc interstitial advertisements? or will the link just be in the description and the rest up to us? who knows! i'm excited. it's really been just a lovely reminder about how fucking cool it is to be a fan of dan and phil in 2024.

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

saw someone on twitter say "one of the main characters in a loki show should have been thor odinson, not some random Sylvie or Mobius.
...... It's like a written law"
wdyt do you agree
I don't think it was necessary to make Thor a main character in a Loki show, the same way it WOULD be possible to throw together a Thor movie without having Loki be a main focus.
The issue comes in the quality of the narrative itself, and writing that if evidently without intention to care for (whichever) main character's importance will not work out. Neither the Loki series nor Thor 4 cared about the arc, motivations, history, or continuity of the titular characters beyond trying to make the media marketable.
Overall messaging can add a layer to the impact a story will have. Musical score can be a bonus way to control tone or tie a story together. Supporting cast can be vital to tell a good story. Prioritising their presence over anyone's (especially Loki's) characterisation is what the Loki series suffered from, not that other, original-adjacent characters were there.

*lies down* I just had the cringest fucking idea and I don't know if I wanna be that cringe but I could easily make it happen so I'm like what if
SO...
I wasn't going to say anything for professional reasons but I voice act a little on the side (extremely small time)
And I literally live in delulu-land where I'm like 'I CAN VOICE ALL MY OWN CHARACTERS!' (not really, I wouldn't cast me for a lot of them actually but shhh)
So I'm like
*lies down* how cringe would it be to make a little back and forth between Iris and the boys with me reading Iris and using already available voice clips for the dudes....
Idk bro that's pretty cringe but do we care past this point
Thoughts????

I think Jim should get to escape immediately, take over the Revenge, and maroon Ed on a deserted island somewhere to think about what he's done. And then Oluwande and his crew can maroon Stede on the same island once he gets too annoying and the two of them can figure their shit out while everyone else gets to be happy and in love
