#and they do NOT come out unscathed

[raddestrose]

Link Click really tricked me with their cool looking promo art having the main three in suits looking all spiffy.

All for it to rip out my heart and stomp on it

I find it fascinating that Rasengan is technically an incomplete jutsu that heavily relies on shape transformation (changes the form and movement) and the complete version of it was made possible by Naruto through adding nature transformation (changes the attribute of chakra), specifically, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

I know this is an incredibly small detail but we have seen the lethal effects of Rasenshuriken (to the point that Tsunade even warned Naruto about using the jutsu as it is harmful on cellular levels not just to the enemy but also himself). It contains microscopic wind blades, too many to count even with Sharingan. My point is, Naruto is presented with obvious opportunities to use a powerful jutsu to stop Sasuke, especially in VOTE2 but he did not use it. It's a conscious choice and an intentional decision. He will do everything to stop Sasuke but he draw the line at killing the precious person he's been chasing for years.

you dont understand i have so many feelings about this little scene

I think the thing that's easy to forget about Arlecchino is that she is not the original Arlecchino. The one that set up the House of the Hearth, the one that greatly abused its members, the one that lied to Freminet about his mother, the one that brainwashed the members to be willing to give their lives for their family was the original Arlecchino, not the current Arlecchino. The current Arlecchino was previously a child raised by the House of the Hearth that succeeded the original Arlecchino through some kind of "serious clash."

The original Arlecchino was painted to be a very cruel person. She'd would greatly punish members that did not succeed in their missions. She lied to Freminet that his mother abandoned him, then used his mother's well being as a way to threaten Freminet into obeying. Going off of one of her subordinates actions, she would've been fine with the creation of orphans if that met taking them in to become later members of the Fatui.

When the current Arlecchino got into power, she changed many things. Where the previous Arlecchino wanted them to give up their lives for the family, the current told them that they must value their lives. Every single one of them was important. Where the previous Arlecchino would punish members for failing missions, the current does not do so, but chooses to give missions suitable to the person.

What I find really interesting about the current Arlecchino is that she is not without morals. When Lyney asks to receive a delusion to help his sister, though she does not react outwardly, her eyes were described to be full of "wrath." She then shows a startling amount of emotional intelligence and asks if that is what Lynette would want. When it comes to Freminet, not only was she furious upon learning he was cruelly lied to regarding his mother, what I'm shocked is she knew about his mother in the first place. She knew what his mother looked like. Freminet entered the House of the Hearth before she became Arlecchino, but she still knew. If you want to look deeper into this, this implies that she purposefully looked into his past and sought out his mother for him.

People may say she's acting. People may say she is acting "nice" to groom the sibings her way, but anger is not something easily faked. Those seemed to be genuine reactions. I do not think that was a lie. However, I'm not saying that she's not lying or manipulative either.

What the most important thing to keep in mind about all of this is what Wanderer and Childe have to say about her. They both fully state that she is insane. She has no problems betraying people. She seeks to control others. She is insane. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I'm just really curious to see how Genshin will reconcile this conflicting information about her.

((check the tags for more of an analysis on her that goes a bit deeper))

was thinking more about youkai-ification while in the shower, and you know what's the best part of it, IMO?

not realizing it's happening.

it starts off with small subtle personality changes, which could be noticeable to any of your friends, but to you? it's so slow that for you it's just your new normal. you've always been like this, right?

you don't notice that anything is different until one day when you look in the mirror and realize that your eyes haven't always been red.

what else might have changed? can you even tell?

[starleska]

just came back from rewatching Holy Musical B@man! and. all of you who've been like, 'Star, it is so out of character for you to like Superman', i'll be honest with you. it started here 😂💖

Can I say something that feels meanspirited but I think is true?

To preface, I think there absolutely is a lot of amazing shoujo and especially a lot of amazing Josei but sometimes… I do think some Shoujo is graded on a curve

Like it gets a bump just for being for girls and not…. Actual quality

And I’m saying this because whenever people say fruits basket is one of the best of shoujo and therefore one of the best manga out there because I feel like you have to ignore… the entire second half of the manga to think FB is actually that good (or good at all, tbh!)

And I feel that way especially when people try to compare shoujo and shounen protagonists and people trot out Tohru

Amazing premise for a manga, amazing concept for a lead but jesus fucking christ the execution and end point for both…

[aurieeeeeenyx]

tbh i think jayce was too Normal after his impromptu trip to hell. like ik he had the dimension splitting headaches and all that (although. where did those go he had them for like 10 min) but where are his rough edges his wilder mannerisms where is that frantic spark in his eye when for a moment he's still there in the future of his creation

I know I’m late to the party but Oh My God™️

39 or 85 for obikin?

Hi Jess ;) I went for 39. ''everything is going to be okay'' kisses for all the angsty headcanons I'm musing in preparation for the big bang. Enjoy!

The respirator beeps in warning when Anakin unbuckles it.

“What are you doing?” Obi-Wan scrambles to keep it in place. “You need it to breathe!”

But since when has he been able to stop Anakin to do what Anakin wishes to do? The mask comes off, and their lips meet.

The kiss leaves Anakin breathless, his eyes dazed from the lack of oxygen.

“Everything is going to be okay, you know?” He smiles, even, this blasted boy. “I’m okay.”

As Obi-Wan holds his everything against his chest, listening to those rattled, irregular breaths, he can only wish that were true.

I don't think I ever posted this here, so here it is!

Siblings, while often very similar, are not and will never be the same. Sometimes even your best buddy has a bit of a different way of processing stuff than you, and that's ok!

Not a request but a thought

Vanny absolutely wailing on Vi during her fight with Jinx
