plot armor is one of the worst things that could happen to a character in the whoniverse
#doctor who#dw#torchwood#those are only ones i've been watcjing so far#so maybe i should not be talking after all#but yeah#the doctor#jack harkness#someone save them#i'm tempted to say the master with their modified armour that left them dead after every story#and yet always bring them back#somehow#but nah#let's leave their trauma for fanfic writers to dissect them like a rat; to observe them like an insect

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#The childhood flashback is one of my favourite scenes in MDZS and yes I am disapointing myself in how little I am covering it.#If it is any consolation...I'll be bringing JYL's piggyback scene into another comic later on.#There truly is something so specific and yet resonant in the way our bonds as children feel so deep.#But the world doesn't stay as small as it does when you are a kid. The problems you argue about get bigger and more serious.#You still hold so much love for this person despite how much you want to throw hands with them.#To have such a complicated history with someone and then fall apart...You always think you have time to heal the wound.#Why wouldn't you! You've never had anything but time with this person. A brother not in blood but in true and genuine bond.#And then the fucker dies! It's horrible and sudden and the last words you exchanged were cold and awful!#What do you do with those dead end feelings? What do you do but grieve bitterly and angrily?#There is no resolution for all the love you wanted back. There will never be an opportunity to bridge the gap between you.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. Because you thought you had more time.#If anyone dares say Jiang Cheng didn't love WWX I'll be the first to fire up the powerpoint presentation on why he absolutely does.

Well.
#(I'm back)#It was. Uhm. A chapter#First of all: I'm ENDLESSLY GRATEFUL to the person who sent me the translation basically as soon as the chapter came out.#I even did like 90% of typesetting but didn't finish it because I had to go out#(aka with my friends were literally knocking out at my room and I couldn't make it any more late lol)#Mixed feelings about it? Mostly because there's so much exposition... I'll need to reread it another three times before it sinks in#The color page is AMAZING 10000000000000/10 I love my sskks so much they're so cute I love them so much they're so cute.#Easily the best part of the chapter.#The color page was? Very very pretty too? Like a lot more than usual if you ask me! I can't wait for the volume cover 🥺🥺#It should come out soon shouldn't it? Usually color spreads / pages open the volume...#Akutagawa fake dying again is funny. Like it isssss but also. Idk it's a little lame how we're changing the pov from ss/kk again :/#I can't even tell if I'm being biased or if it's an actual storytelling critique. I don't care right now I just want to see Akutagawa–#being cool rather than. You know. Dead on the ground.#That said! It's also very funny and touches my sense of humor precisely.#Like yeah Akutagawa being like the second strongest pm member and overall one of the most powerful ability user in the world–#that everyone fears (and I know he is! He is indeed for real!)#And yet he always ends up face to the ground 😂😂😂 Like if we don't count the ss/kk fights he literally only ever won against Hawthorne.#And even then he failed to kill him and Mitchell. It's so funny to me. I love him. He's so pathetic#“Wow! Akutagawa is so cool and invincible now!” *ends up biting the dust not even two chapters later*#It's okay because I love him. He's very very powerful and he's also very very pathetic I love that for him#That said :/ I don't really care about Fukuzawa :/ Idk :/ Like :/#Don't get me wrong I LOVE Fukuzawa (I don't. I'm mostly neutral towards him) but this is the ss/kk moment man :/ Whatchu doin#That's about it. Let's see what the next chapter brings!#Everything accounted for I'm glad there wasn't like. A ss/kk kiss or any other big big ss/kk moment#(although Atsushi admiring Akutagawa and thinking about his eyes has its fair share of neatness to it!!)#Because with everything going on this evening I really would have been let down to miss it#But I keep hope for the next chapters!! Please...#random rambles#Had tons of fun typesetting! Even though I don't think there's a point in posting it now. But would love to do it again in the future!#bsd spoilers

reading all these old articles and thinking about the way everyone described their perceptions of younger valtteri's confidence vs daniel's. and how, given what we know now, we can assume there was more friction between their exterior presentation and their internal lives than previously accorded. what was real, what was fake, what was fake but believed to be real by even themselves bc of diminished emotional capacity or lack of healthy model or or or etc., how did that belief serve or fail them and what version are they living with now.... is it more holistic is it more informed is it more associated... how did they get to it and what is it made of. the texture of these two drives me ssskkskskskoosnendndjdnnfn
#daniel confident (ostentatious) valtteri confident (humble) but both wearing boots they hadnt worn in yet. so to speak.#am i even making sense.#i am having a LOT of feelings reading thru all the vb hype of 2013-securing the merc drive#like. god. head in hands.#yeah they did chew him up and utterly spit him out once he became lewis' teammate.#but it seems like prior to that he was a darling. literal headlines like 'everyone loves valtteri!'#despite or maybe bc of him not playing into it or feeding them at all.#the tide changed so quick. maybe it was inevitable. maybe it always will be no matter who it is.#to bring it back... they both have experienced being majorly hyped and predicted as wdcs... then losing predominant public favor... i#i cant. it makes me sad.#goodbye ;_;#valtteri bottas#daniel ricciardo#f1#driveby post

LOUIS MATHIS, THE INTELLIGENCE GATHERER — a walking collection of information to use against enemies and who's responsible for 'scaring' problematic clients a little to keep them in line.
#YOU'RE AS MUCH A PART OF ME AS I AM YOU: family portrait.#louis mathis is in charge of gathering intel and is sometimes distrusted by people visiting the mathis household / are barton's clients.#this is because he is VERY much capable of smooth-talking what he wants to know out of someone or when that doesn't work...#effectively threatening them into quote unquote 'giving it up' and has chameleoned his way into dangerous operations just to-#learn how the inner workings of them and report back to barton as to how they could bring them down.#louis has also been known to procure blackmail on people who have attempted to 'out' the mathis family as a crime family.#so all in all he is dangerous but in a 'you're dead - you just don't know it yet' kind of way.#louis is the silent 'predator animal' of the family and has been compared to a fox due to his wiliness.#the flower in the corner of this picture is known as a snapdragon and symbolizes deception BUT also graciousness.#this 'graciousness' could apply to louis because although he is crafty and has tricked many people into their doom...#he seems to have a softspot for animals and has always tried to look after jack after julien passed away.

He hesitated as the child below him smiled and reached up. His claws rested right above its head and yet it looked delighted to see him. Did it not realize the danger it was in? It grabbed his fur and giggled.
"Puppy!"
...if he was asked, he was simply raising it up to help him infiltrate human settlements better.
#Khan a.#Zoroark Khan#Raised by Zoroarks au#Khan finds Akari in the middle of nowhere and is about to kill her (bc all humans deserve to die in his eyes)#But when she smiles at him he can't do it and decides to take her in and raise her instead#There was something about her looking... Happy to see him that stopped him#(when was the last time anyone was happy to see him?)#(this is bc I thought it'd be funny if Khan raised akari as a Zoroark and then got upset and jealous#When ingo drops the fuck out of the sky and after becoming the warden becomes friendly#the weird feral child running with Zoroarks. He tries to guide her into human behaviors which she finds so INTERESTING#Esp when he decides she's good enough to go into town!!! The town humans are neat and not at all scary like khan had always said#Ingo lies and says she's his daughter. That they had gotten separated during travel. That she had to survive on her own for a time#Which is why she's... Like That. Everyone eats it up. Gives her free stuff. Tells her they're glad she's reunited with her dad.#Akari tells Khan (who's only referred to as 'malice' yet) and Khan gets jealous as FUCK.#That is HIS BABY. HE FOUND HER. HE RAISED HER. SHE'S HIS DAUGHTER. NOT INGO'S!!!#But when he tries to sneak into Jubilife to steal her back? Bring her home? Do something? He's caught and chased out. And the next morning#Things are abuzz with the news that a black Zoroark had tried to break in!! Those things are so dangerous!! Say...#Hadn't the clans mentioned a black Zoroark before?#Akari discovers then (long after befriending ingo and months since she started coming into town) that Khan had told her the truth.#That these people hated Zoroarks. Feared them. But Ingo tells her that the clans have been harassed by them for generations.#That Malice is right but also he's wrong. And Akari decides she's going to show how GOOD Zoroarks are!!! How loving the are to their family#She ends up helping Laventon and Rei with the dex. She is still known as Warden Ingo's Feral Daughter. And everyone wonders and fears#Bc somehow one of the first pokemon she caught was a zorua she keeps in her party ALWAYS. Ingo thinks her wanting to show the good side#of Zoroarks is a good thing. Peace would be beneficial. He's heard hunters in the pearl clan discuss wanting to track down and kill#Every Zoroark and zorua to keep them from hunting the clans. He doesn't want an entire species wiped out!#So there is Ingo and his 'daughter' (who he is genuinely starting to see as his daughter) and then suddenly#One day there is a knock at the door. And ingo opens it to see a young man with a nasty scar GLARING at him#And the first thing he says is 'give me back my child' which makes ingo ???)#There were more tags but Tumblr said 'fuck you that's too many'#TLDR ingo has to lie to Jubilife residents and tell them Khan is his ex and the residents are LIVING for the perceived Family Drama™️

Ep 4 :)
#I LIKE Dostoyevsky. I like how mysterious and unreadable he is. What is his goal!!!! Why does he do what he does!!!!!!! He's very cool#I think knowing his ability now REALLY adds to his character. Him being so smart so manipulative so disruptive in the way he–#seemingly kills people on touch! Only added to this impression of him being “demon” and “inhuman”#But now that we know his ability you realize... That's all his doing; no ability.#His ability in a way does help humanize him by reaffirming that except for the moment he dies– he's got no superpower at all!!!#It's just him.#And yet at the same time also solves the exact opposite role of dehumanizing him because if it's not his ability that makes him like *that*#then he's even different than other ability users!!! Then‚ if not an ability user‚ if not a non ability user: what is //he//?#It's all SO compelling!!! Also makes for an extremely insightful narrative parallel with Dazai#Not an ability user not a non ability user. Not good not evil. (I feel like Dostoyevsky does exceed the definitions of good and evil as–#much as Dazai does. If he causes evil‚ yet does so with the intention of bringing salvation to humans– is he really *simply* evil?)#Both have these borderline superpowers that make them extraordinary beings (we can call it super intelligence‚ but it goes from controlling#their own heartbit to everything else) but are unrelated to their respective abilities! Once again making them neither this or that#I find Karma's words at the end to be extremely insightful.“Ace was evil for sure‚ but this man isn't even evil.#He's a being from the beyond. A being that exceeds human limits.” Like!!! That's all that there is to it!!!!!!#Back to this chapter / episode. There's some themes / worldvies once again I don't agree with but narrative wise I think it's extraordinary#I feel like after the Guild arc the writing really matured a lot and this is a kind of preview of what the doa arc is going to be like#(aka very very well written especially if compared to the previous arcs)#The plot twists of this episode are all so unpredictable and exciting!!! I think it's remarkably witty how it takes advantages of previous–#clichés - villains always revealing details about their own ability in a way that is quite baffling - to actually surprise the audience.#It's so effective. How skillfully unpredictable Dostoyevsky is to the point you can never guess what he will do next!!!#Him killing Karma is... Idk so so soooooooo interesting. I could talk about this forever but I'm being very dispersive in the rable and–#running out of tags. The whole episode you're sorta rooting for Dostoyevsky. He's very cool and comes out charming in the way he keeps–#surprising the audience. He looks bothered by Ace's disregard of other people's lives and that makes him sympathetic too.#But then he kills Karma out of nowhere and it's an “Ah! You fell for his lies too– remember he's nothing but evil. He cares just as little#about life as Ace does”. And then??? Karma in his last words is himself so generous in his words to Dostoyevsky. It's baffling.#And it almost feels like thenarrative is once again turning around and telling you you should root for Dostoyevsky.#It's endlessly fascinating.#I have more to say about the worldviews I don't share and the art style Dostoyevsky was portrayed with this episode (love it!!)#But alas ran out of tags

You will live a long time, and yet, an eternity without me. You will look into the faces of passers by hoping, just for an instant, for something that will bring me back to you. You will find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them? There will be no answer. Always, your heart will be aching for me, and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did, "the right thing." -i think tv girl or dangerous things, i cant stop thinking about it
#quotes#tv girl#dangerously yours#ponyboy and johnny core#you will live a long time#and yet#an eternity without me.#you will look into the faces#of passers by#hoping#just for an instant#for something#that will bring me back#to you.#you will find moonlit nights#strangely empty#because#when you call my name through them#there will be no answer.#always#your heart#will be aching for me#and your mind#will give you the doubtful consolation#that you did#the right thing#tgcf#doodles#memorization#stuck in my head

A fun crackship I have a lot of feelings about is not what you first this, so hear me out.
Kali/Sienna, but, Kali is also still with Ghira, she's basically mutually married to both of them post Faunus Rights Revolution. Sienna & Ghira are mostly just mutual friends/comrades with differing political views but its all very healthy and good.
Hey, I remember this was a thing on the first volumes, when Sienna and the parents™ were introduced. I always liked it, but there is no more content of them nowadays tho :/
#boletin#i mean...sienna is rip but there is always one bastard who is loyal to their ships but I've not found them yet lmao#let bring them back if I have the time

ITS BEEN A FUCKING WEEK. PASS THE DETRITUS
#howling#had a lvl 1 trauma at abt 720#which sucks but we were managing fine#call er back at 750 as protocol to ask if theyve transfused and if theyll need more and to make sure they have a t&s ordered#secretary confirms that both units were transfused + they wont be needing more (lol) + a type and screen WAS drawn just not ordered yet#ok cool. all i have to do is wait for the specimen so i can crossmatch the units#im chilling in bloodbank doing bloodbank things#meanwhile. er calls the front desk (blood bank has a separate phone line. they specifically called the lab line instead)#lab assistant takes the call (like normal). theyre not sure what er said exactly but theyre planning to transfer the patient somewhere#and mentioned 'something like mpp???'#midnight tech was upfront and overheard. immediately asked if they meant MTP#lab assistant wasnt sure but said she had asked if er wanted to talk to blood bank (aka me) and they said no#both the assistant and the tech assumed that they DIDNT actually mean mtp because that would be fucking bonkers#if they casually mention it to a lab assistant and NOT FUCKING BLOOD BANK#and i didnt hear about this phone call until like maybe an hour or two later btw#anyways. yeah no they called an MTP#thats always fucking awful but they DID bring down the t&s partway thru#patient had no history and the only other specimens on file were drawn at the same time#so i order a confirmatory type to make things easier later on. it needs to be drawn by either the nursing team or by a lab assistant#screen is negative so at least we only need to do an immediate spin crossmatch on everything#we get all the units emergency issued + the platelets are ordered and issued normally after the t&s is done since it doesnt need a xmatch#er cancels the mtp. theyve transfused 6 out of the 8 units we sent them. two remaining units being sent to or#or is told directly that the mtp was canceled and that theyd need to call a new one if things escalate again#ok. things are calming down. its fine. i got all the xmatches done and theyre all compatible which is great#we get in a delivery from arc of platelets bringing us back up to 6 on the shelf (we need 5 on hand tomorrow morning for an open heart)#(at this point i find out about the phone call i mentioned earlier)#i get a call from or. my heart sinks immediately#or nurse says they need 2 rbcs and 2 platelets and theyre sending someone down RIGHT NOW to pick it up#we still hadnt gotten that confirmatory btw#im too stunned to say anything else so i just go ok. and hang up

How do people do OCs, I can never get them to click properly
#i think i’m holding back too much the idea is there in my head#but when i’m drawing i’m conscious that i might want to share this stuff at some point so the whole time i’m thinking#about making a good design and i don’t want to give them anything vaguely similar to anyone else’s oc because i don’t want to step on toes#so they end up barely a visage of what i want to be creating#idkkk#the idea i have in my head is an oc who’s a horse girl LMAO their companion is a fathier who they have a very strong inseparable bond with#i am a lifelong horse person and i grew up reading pony club secrets and watching stuff like flicka so i feel like i can bring#something personal to that concept#but i don’t want them to be a mando. i don’t know much about mando culture and i cba to learn so that was the one i did not want hem to be#and yet. i can only imagine them with mandalorian armour#they’re the same species as dryden vos. there’s next to no lore on his species and they’re non human in a way that’s easy to draw#so i can just make stuff up and not be constrained by canon#them being near human is also relevant to their story. they spent a lot of time around humans and they’re close enough to human to get by#but not human enough that there’s something off. they don’t quite fit in and they always felt on the outside looking in#hence why they prefer the company of animals#maybe i’ll have them formerly working in fathier racing but that might be too projecty#this is so rambly i apologise i’ve been very talkative on here recently#ohh this is very off the cuff but maybe they’re the child of loyal mandalorians but never really subscribed to it themselves#having spent a lot of time around fathiers also meant they spent less time around mandalorians. so despite technically being mando#and wearing the armour they don’t really identify very strongly as a mandalorian

#lately i've been going to twitter to get some lunter action bc most fanartists are there#and god it's just so annoying that over there they're stuck in a 5 day cycle of the same discourse over and over again#is it okay to ship this or is this a dirty nasty morally questionable proship? uwu#then the realization is 'yes lunter actually isn't a disgusting perverted proship which makes it okay to exists even if i HATE it'#and then two days later someone is like um akshually it's disgusting because incest and here we fucking go again#god. we need to extirp anyone under 16 years old from the internet. you have not developed enough brain matter to be on social media#(now if you're an adult unironically arguing in that discourse you either have a lot of free time or i just need to block you)#but man. like i wanna say to those lunter defenders..... can't you see what's wrong?#can't you see that the moment you've chosen to accept the premise of there being 'good' and 'reproachable' ships you've already lost?#that someone will always be able to pick a 'problematic' aspect in any ship ever?#that entertaining that idea from the beginning is the absolute worst thing you could do?#like i prefer when people call lunter boring. okay yeah i do Not see what you're seeing but also#thank fucking GOD we're bringing up actually relevant stuff here#like part of me is so fascinated about this. how murder seems to be the only thing that's accepted in media as a narrative tool#(and at some extent even that is too much)#but this yet again goes back to..... well what the fuck do you interact with fiction and media in the first place#when you're COMPLETELY unwilling to acknowledge any of these things as FICTION (not real) in the first place?#where your favorite character is the most morally correct and your favorite ship is the 'healthiest'?#i just wish we were able to talk about who the characters are and what their dynamic means in the show you know#instead of recycling the same reasons why it's morally 'okay' to be interested in them over and over and over and over and over and over and

Calisto Yew was so cool, honestly. Wish they'd bring her back
#me and my constant melody of 'they should bring this underrated amazing female character back'#everyone's always going on about simon keyes this & simon keyes that like. you all really saw a twink in makeup and lost sight of all else#huh#shih na did it so much better. she was the moment and she was soooo cool. she literally used aa fans' predisposed sympathy towards sad#sister characters against them. gave a performance so convincing she tricked a top prosecutor and detective into working with her for YEARS#turned around and got close enough to a top interpol agent again for YEARS without any of them catching on#and all without using the soft docile saccharine persona most the other deceptive characters use#she was so brilliant and poised and clever i miss her so much#i know they probably executed her but i feel like she could be one of those people who get taken in by the govt and used in their own#secret services and shit. she's good enough for it. also she was so? complex? like she was EXTREMELY good at keeping her personal feelings#out of her professional work but she didnt have that malice or hostility that a lot of these types do. she calls lang an idiot but that#mockery is just who she is. she does that for everyone. it's not personal. and there are times when you can tell that she did like the#people she was with. she admits as much with lang yet she always maintained her distance. because she's a professional. she's just so.#she was brilliant truly. what an amazing woman#i miss her so dearly#calisto yew#shih-na#ace attorney#ace attorney investigations

one little fear-ish feeling i have is that Veilguard, with the whole "dwarves are kind of able to access the Fade now" and "magic is more ubiquitous and accessible and generally more present now" deal, will necessarily sort of infect my characters with some measure of magic powers (unlike the Anchor in Inquisition which was a separate thing) and make the protagonist sort of mage-adjacent regardless of their actual class and race.
i don't want to play mages, thank you very much, i want to play a jumped up soporati chick, two rando dwarves who know absolute shitfuck about magic and are dropped in the thick of all this magical sludge, and a middle-aged dude whose connection to the Fade is restricted to him being mysteriously alive because at one point as a teen he wanted hard enough not to die for a spirit to be like "aight bet"
if it's like, available to choose but dodge-able like the biotics in ME:A I'm cool with it, but I really hope they won't make magic, like, necessary for a character to have, and I can just keep hitting things with sharp sticks if I'd like
#squirrel plays datv#nothing against spellcasters obviously; i like playing them in dnd and bg3 and the like#but i don't like to play them in dragon age both for narrative- and mechanic reasons#i've never liked mage gameplay in any of the games#it's always annoyed me and i've always just let my mages do their thing however they like because i just can't deal with them#and even though i'm always playing aggressively pro-mage characters and have romanced mages 2 out of 3 times#i don't like to actually be one of them#circle mage- and dalish mage backgrounds for my protagonists don't interest me just in general#we don't really know enough about tevinter circles yet for me to feel comfy playing as a tevinter circle mage#and my headcanoning powers are strong; but not strong enough to just. ignore canon completely#and add in a custom hedge-mage sort of background that'd maybe actually interest me#see if i could play a witch of the wilds or something#then i'd sing a different tune#but fuckiiiinnnn..... even if they bring back like arcane warriors or some shit; that as a warrior main has me very like that#that “look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power” meme#i'll stop before i get too salty about assfucking arcane warriors and how little sense they made
