fantasy cassie is more manipulative and forceful than normal cassie.
#fantasy!cas has been used as a pawn by her mother from a young age#[ this is directly to secure the family's safety rather than an act of hatred on her mother's part#but cassie has never been good at seeing her own sacrifice#as something for the greater good-#so she interprets it as malice#as she longs to be an echo of her mother ( subconciously )#she twists her mother's kindness into malice and then wears that malice#after her mother is gone ( by her own hand nonetheless )#cassie has little else but the fragments of her mother that exist in her head#which turn cassie colder and crueler ]#main verse cassie literally cannot be used as a pawn bc she has little of worth#so instead she becomes annoying. girl power is real

itoshi brothers / “still”
#blue lock#bllk#itoshi rin#itoshi sae#blue lock fanart#blue lock manga#THIS SONG IS BIG ON TIKTOK RN IK ANASTASIA AND BLUE LOCK IS A CRAZY COMBINATION#i kept seeing edits of it and out of context the lyrics here made me think of them#even in context the sentiment of doing something cruel and trying to justify it through necessity or a greater good#that strikes a chord#i did not however anticipate the flashback in 270 so this timing is delightful#or horrible#depends on what kind of day you’re having#fanart#art#my art#ブルーロック

I still can't believe it. That we're together like this. Honestly, I'm a little worried. Can we really do this? We can do this. I told you, we can face this together. "I shouldn't have held your hand." What if I start to think that? You're dead then. I'll be so good to you that you'll never regret it.

Wandering my hallways and pacing around my home thinking about Final Fantasy XV and its myriad examples of the core cast casually dehumanizing themselves for the sake of what they believe to be something greater. Ignis has perfectly fine vision but wears glasses to correct to 20/20. "When you can't focus, I focus for you." All of Episode Prompto. Ravus seeing his sister's death as a tragedy, not just because she's dead, but because she's dead and she doesn't even get to rest. The repeated imagery of getting closer and closer to Noct's destined goal is literally him trying to hold very still and not flinch as he lets a sword hit him. The goddamn ending. The game is not in conversation with this theme. These are things that are true to the characters and they cannot imagine a world where they are not. I'm climbing on the walls.
#sometimes I start thinking too hard about how Ignis started looking after noct when he was six and I have to go stare at a wall#or the fact that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt his eyesight wasn't coming back and he still tried to downplay it#all of gladio's. everything honestly.#Born to die for you made to take hits for you molded to carry you#and he can't fathom it when Noct buckles under the pressure because to him he's never had any choice but to just shoulder it#and facing the fact that he's spent his whole life building himself to serve one person but if he doesnt have that one person he has NOTHIN#and then youre like oh both these guys are super fucked up from this lifetime of servitude but at least prompto had a normal life!#and then episode prompto hits#and on TOP of that theres prompto recurring story beats of changing himself to be 'good' enough. physically fit and chipper and cheery.#and his belief that being himself will actually just drag everyone down with him#AND LIKE! none of this is ADDRESSED#it doesnt get better they were all always slaves to something greater there is no other way this could have ended.#I have to go eat drywall#final fantasy#final fantasy xv#final fantasy 15#ff15#ffxv#ff 15#ff xv#chocobros#noctis lucis caelum#ignis scientia#gladiolus amicitia#prompto argentum#lunafreya nox fleuret#ravus nox fleuret

togachako really did get done so dirty by the series and a lot of the wider fandom, these two are literally the only two characters i give a shit about bc their dynamic is just so interesting
like the way it becomes a two way obsession and Ochako being forever haunted by Himiko, like Ochako literally admits Himiko's been living rent free in her mind since the night they met, Ochako being the only one who looks and really sees Himiko it just drives me insane
everything could have been different if she had just met Ochako sooner
but it's still bullshit they wanted to kill Himiko off when the whole point is that Ochako wanted to help build that world that would be easier for Himiko to live in, there WAS a place for her in the world Ochako wanted to help create and it's such a disservice to Himiko's character that her whole thing was that she'd been shamed and excluded and called a monster for something she could not help and killing her feels like the story shrugging its shoulders and going 'yeah they were all right to dehumanize her! she doesn't belong here and also she can't get better with help and support, better luck next time tho'
#vree chatter#togachako#i'm not over it there was no need to call her the cutest in the world#she did that because shes in love with her you cant change my mind#sorry i have more concise thoughts typically but when i go to write them down all that comes out is 'women good'#the tragedy of two girls pitted against each other because of the greater society around them pushing them towards it#and then the powerful act of defiance it was for Ochako to go No I'm here to meet Himiko on her level#because she realized she never bothered to try to understand why someone like Himiko would be doing what she does!!#why does no one else seem to comment on the fact that something unbelievably fucked up must be going on#for a teenage girl like Himiko to be acting the way she does?#it's because they don't even see her as human but of course of COURSE another girl can look at her and go 'i see you'

The Meis deserved to have the 11th cover
#toilet bound hanako kun#tbhk#jshk#shijima mei#I died but it was for the greater good#they deserve so much covers#why AidaIro#it was a lil challenge with Mari yay#I didn't give up because of Mei :)))#jibaku shonen hanako kun#jibaku shonen hanako kun fanart#tbhk fanart#jshk fanart#It was really interesting to copy AIdaIro's artstyle too#I rarely use references so copying an artstyle was something ahah#and yes I gave them the 11th cover because I find the real one ugly af and an insult to what is happening in this volume#like Hanako doesn't appear at all#It's Mei's story and she doesn't have the cover I will forever be salty for that#my art

u kno, I don’t think that people consider enough the possibility (and very high probability) that Snape wasn’t mean to student’s because he wanted to, but more so because he had to. Not saying they he was nice. That man sure as hell wasn’t nice, especially when reading from Harry’s point of view.
But let’s consider for a moment the objective circumstances: Severus Snape was a past Death Eater, who at 21-ish years old changed sides (something only Dumbledore knew to which extent and the reasons), and knew of the possibility of the Dark Lord coming back because Dumbledore told him, and anyone who listened honestly, that he didn’t believe Voldemort to be truly gone.
Now, Severus Snape knows that Harry Potter, this child who is the Dark Lord’s undoing, is alive and is coming to the school, as probably most of his contemporary schoolmate’s kids are also going, have been there a while and will come for various years after. Snape is still bound to Dumbledore by his promise to be a spy, and is bound to Voldemort by brand. And Dumbledore is highly suspicious shit is about to go down (which u kno, he was rights ‘cause even from the first year lil Harry started Going Through It™️).
Having that background: Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin, and presumed Death Eater (‘cause u kno, spy), who was never known to be openly warm nor kind, who was fiercely bullied and he retaliated when felt necessary, is supposed to seem impartial and nice to all of his students?
Morally, should he had been? Heck yeah. Any decent teacher and adult should.
Realistically, should he had been? Well, if he wanted his cover blown, sure. If he wanted all of the Death Eaters who had children in school questioning the hell out of him, yeah. If he wanted Voldemort suspicious of his alliance and current belief system (which would have been at odds with the Death Eater ideals), uh-huh. But that would have made for a lousy spy at best and disastrous war changing consequences at worst.
And let’s be really honest here: Dumbledore gave him the position as teacher, primarily because he wanted to use Snape as a spy. That was Dumbledore’s priority, not the teaching. Which is a little wild to think coming from a school headmaster, truly.
This theory (which personally extends from theory to canon, because that’s how being a spy works) does not excuse him from how his prejudice blinded him from seeing Harry for Harry and not James (but the case could be made that neither did Sirius, but that’s another topic). That was wild. However, at the same time, he looked out for Harry’s life.
Again, I’m not saying Severus was warm and nice and he certainly acted mean and cruel at moments, particularly with kids from the other three houses. I just think that was part of the tragedy. He had a role to play, he played it perfectly, getting himself branded as a coward and a traitor by the people closest to him. And because of him, they won the war.
#severus snape#i will die on that hill#this is something that i constantly think about#i belive there is a lot of sacrifice in severus’ character#letting go of what he wants to do what he feels (and is told) that is needed#all for the greater good#i genuinely don’t believe he wished to be ‘othered’ for ALL of his life#we see him smiling and talking with his collagues at the table whenever they ate#he had to fight McGonagall for heaven’s sake!#that part had me BAWLING while reading AND watching the movie#he carried it out perfectly#but you can see the weight of it consuming him throughout the books and the movies#so no. its hard for me to believe that Severus enjoyed and wanted to be cruel on the main daily#welcome to my ted talk#i will defend him with my life#but like#i will defend this theory till the day i mf die i swear#ITS WHAT MAKES SENSE!#severus#snape#pro severus snape#basically?#character study

I just learned why Shad hates Irene in canon and knowing what I do now about everyone’s favorite the Matron, I can say with my whole heart,
What the hell, Irene
#I keep coming across audios of Hyria telling Irene’s story too#and I can see why the people of Ru’aun love Irene! I see the saint they do in the stories#but I can also see that by the time she got around to Shad she wasn’t that person anymore#she was alone because of her power until she came across Shad and I can see how that might develop into clinging onto him with such an#intensity that she sends him to other realms to foster whatever their relationship is and falling in love with him#Shad is the only person Irene has ever known that’s on the same level as her so it makes sense she wants#him as a lover as something more intimate than what they are#but Shad was tired of being feared and hated and so he falls for the one person who acts very positively towards him#all Shad wanted was to be loved. to have a family.#and he got it! he had the love of his life and a beautiful baby girl and even a close group of friends in the Divine Warriors#and when they need the relics to protect the realm he understands that they’re made with human souls and he accepts that#for the sake of the greater good#only for Irene to use their daughter to make HIS relic and not tell him he’s using the weaponized version of their daughter’s soul#he’s obviously furious when he finds out. he confronts Irene heartbroken that she would do such a thing. Why their daughter?#and then she turns the rest of the Divine Warriors (who all worship her) against him#No wonder Shad wants revenge! No wonder he’s after every last fragment of his relic he can get his hands on#that’s all that’s left of his baby#Or maybe I’m thinking way too hard about a block roleplay#mcd irene#mcd shad#divine warriors#dropofsunlightextras#mcd rewrite#mcd#aphmau minecraft diaries#minecraft diaries#aphblr

kennderland is a fun crackship bc you know they’d be so messed up like what little art I’ve seen of them is mostly cute and fluffy but their flavours of survival horror protagonist would compliment each other in a not so healthy way if you think about it and I never see this explored in their art esp not art of Leon on his own
#actual sugar post#something something like#kennedy and sunderland have both killed#but kennedy has killed on a mass impersonal scale for the “greater good”#sunderland has killed one person but in a very personal insidious way#or two bc. Eddie#Leon had such a strong sense of justice that he would instinctually hate james for what he did#but then he’d be forced to reckon with his own shit even more#I also think that Leon would break under silent hill and abandon his morals to have just one person that wouldn’t die on him#not to mention all the messed up closeted shit that james has going on#like I think james would be very afraid of himself being into another man and would try to rationalize it somehow#maybe Leon would turn into another maria for him in his mind#but obv like. a real person#i think these two would ruin each other#kennderland#silent hill#resident evil#leon s kennedy#james sunderland

Underlining the question of 'whose decision was it to have The Kiss of Judas overlooking their marital bed?' with thick red marker.
#compelling cases for both parties#a performance of shame and penance from Armand#a reminder to Louis of what was done to him#an attempt at distancing the act to that of a familiar story beat#a subtle attempt at reframing the outcome so that Louis too becomes something greater than his previous form through death and suffering#while the last supper imagery is quite good too that fond kiss on the cheek for all to see is the clincher#it is less the equivalent of Louis and Lestat's last dance but the speech that Lestat gave on the balcony#a recognition that nothing will be the same in their relationship after what they are about to do#Armand#Louis de Pointe du Lac#Interview with the Vampire#Interview with the Vampire Spoilers#Jagged Jottings

bastardization of ones good intentions or something
#hnk#phos my beloved#hnk cinnabar#never got around to getting every screencap i wanted in this#even so#feelings#phos' continous self sacrifice is just so#i believe he never truly forgot of his promise#but he never understood cinnabar enough#helping cinnabar always became a bonus he could get in his sacrifices for the greater good#anyways#i preach a lot of phos did nothing wrong but mainly bc what most people say he did wrong were things outside of its control#im actually fairly critical of it#mainly bc i see my own faults in her#or something like that#im rambling bc i just think abt her a lot#if you read all of the tags i give you a big kiss in the forehead
