💋 MetaDede Week 2024 Day 2: First Kiss 💋

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight standing on a balcony - the latter on the railing - overlooking a late-evening sky, painted in the gold-pink-purple tones of sunset and speckled with stars high above. Turned to face his knight, DDD boldly takes his hand and plants a small kiss on the back of it, eyes shut and cheeks dusted in pink. MK looks up at his king with soft fondness, a hand over his heart, a blush of his own glowing through his mask. Above them against the starry sky, a low-opacity, sepia-toned memory can be seen. Meta - teenaged and maskless with nearly-grown wings, wearing plain steel pauldrons and white gloves; and DDD - teenaged and acne-plagued, wearing an oversized red-and-orange hoodie and a maroon beanie. In a fit of last-second courage, Meta grabs his friend by the front of his hoodie and yanks him down, shutting his eyes and blushing fiercely as he plants a hasty kiss - their first! - on his cheek. DDD leans over unsteadily on one foot, an arm thrown back for balance, his pimply face bright red, his eyes wide with surprise and touched with heart-shaped shines. END ID.)

“How can this many people simply vote for Trump in the first place?”

✨Gaslighting✨

And

✨Teaching themselves apathy because they have been pushed to the brink and are only focused on their own survival and think that this guy will give it because he

gaslight themmmm✨

I have no idea why, but I’ve been thinking about this screenshot since the day I took it…

The screenshot… uh…

Yeah.

Do I think that Donnie had bruises after that? Yep, I do… (I know that these robo-hands were choking him through his hoodie (it looks like it at least), and yes, I do not know if it’s possible to leave bruises through probably thick cloth)

…

Also this

How do I stop thinking about these two screenshots. I don’t think that’s healthy ;-;

[godblooded]

so like… controversial opinion but… if you agree there should be more female muses or lesbians… uhh… write them?

[mo-ok]

I wanted to become a warrior with Hyuuga. I could work as hard as I did because Hyuuga encouraged me.

[hanzajesthanza]

people (the rest of the hanza. not including geralt) often forget that cahir was 1. the guy that kidnapped ciri 2. an officer in the military

he’s literally so polite in geralt’s company you wouldn’t even guess he was the black knight. and yet. and yet.

i’m never certain exactly how to reconcile this tactful and strategic mind with the terrified young man

[amarriageoftrueminds]

I've been trying to read pre-war stucky fics recently and I've got to say... it's depressing how many fics depict a situation where Bucky is essentially like those miserable sitcom housewives who work a full time job on top of doing doing all the cooking and cleaning and mending etc. for a husband who does nothing but snap at them, and never expresses any gratitude or remorse for making things worse?? 😥

WAIWAEAITIWIAA CAN I TOUCH ON THE SUBJECT OF SOME PPL THINKING KAI IS SOME KIND OF BULLY TOWARDS JAY OR SMTH AND HOW STUPID THAT IS

like tbh lately I haven’t seen really any of that LATELY - but I remember some time ago someone had posted a gif of like the fight between Kai and Jay in Crystallized and like I think specifically the part where Jay starts the fight by fucking kicking Kai across the room (for accidentally dropping a glass of water and who btw gen apologized for immediately 😁)

Okok so some, if not a lot of ppl, in the comments/reblogs were like “ouh yeah way to go jay 🤗🥳” “It doesn’t surprised me that he’s finally standing up for himself after all that bullying from Kai after so many years 🥺” “oh Kai deserves it for always teasing-“ yeah yeah BLAH BLAH BLAH you get the GIST

and OOHHH that RREAAALLY pushed some buttons for me cuz WHAT💀💀💀💀💀BAHAH BE SO FUCKING FR IM SORRY BUT WHAT😭😭😭

Y’all the ninja have always made fun of each other like- the whole series. And if it looks like Kai goes especially after jay or whatever- yeah- it doesn’t surprise me that he would be poking even more fun at the man dating his sister 😭😭ESPECIALLY knowing him? Like hello 💀

But he’s even SUPPORTIVE of their relationship - are y’all forgetting how he literally helped Jay practice to propose Nya to be his Yang 😭😭😭😭

And OHH - have we perhaps forgotten ab how when jay was fucking DROWNING while he was trying to get out of the situation- he LITERALLY thought to himself “what would kai do?” LIKE BRO HE LOOKS UP TO HIM 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 BEFORE THINKING- “oh what would master Wu do or Zane do” -he was like- “no- what would Kai do?”

And YAALLLL wanna erase this bond they have 😨😨 NUH UH NONE OF THAT - y’all are not about to pretended Kai is some kind of huge bully towards your “little baby boy jay “or whatever as if they don’t love each other at all (as brothers/bsfs)

(I’m kinda scared of posting this cuz I don’t wanna come off as aggressive but this legit makes me laugh so damn hard cuz of how STUPID it is 😭😭)

[jadegr8]

ah yes, spending weeks over weeks fixing my sleeping schedule and then on the day i actually wake up and don't feel like i'm about to die some random depression hits and i'm crying into my shitty game of microsoft solitaire at 1am while listening to the most random playlist at hand

[livinces]

So I'm having a difficult... conflict (??) right now.

I want to have a career writing and self-publishing my stories. I also want to create and put out music. (I don't wanna be Stephen King or Lana Del Rey, I just want to be an indie artist with a decent size fanbase.)

I've been intending to change my name to Candie Hart and use that for writing. I've been intending to use DRAMA PRINCESS for my music. (It's a nickname I've called myself since 2015.) But today, I thought "Should I go with Candie Hart for my music? If so, do I use that for my novels as well?" (I want my first album to be titled "DRAMA PRINCESS," so that isn't going anywhere.) And I have thought in the past that, as much as I love the name Candie Hart and like it's on-vibe for me, I don't think it fits with most of my stories. At least not most of the titles. 🤔

*le sigh* Any ideas, fam?

[ratajota]

sometimes i stumble across painting vids or process pics and i feel like real painters have ways of doing stuff that are a hundred times less convoluted than the shit i do. can't wait to learn it all from art school from now on :)

[butchlifeguard]

im up painting and kind of heated about the 'not like other girls' stereotype. 'ohh i pretended to like soccer and playing cod because i wanted to be different from other girls it was such obvious internalized misogyny 💀💀' yes but. girls can like those things why are we pretending like theyre inherently not things women would ever organically do

[un-pearable]

Civil War (2024) is a mechanically good film but the commitment to not stoking real world political tensions in a movie about the potential consequences of those tensions leaves a gaping hole in its worldbuilding and reduces its impact to just. a series of melodramatic images of “what if the bad war happened here”. completely declawing any potential impact it could have had for the sake of not being controversial

[woodswolf]

Not sure how to phrase this in a complimentary way but I am really glad Captain Olimar isn't a real person with real feelings because I think your righteously vicious takedowns of his character would fucking kill him. Very very good. Extremely good.

(undoubtedly re: these tags)

oh listen anon. listen. listen listen listen listen listen:

did i ever say i wasn't going to say them to his face?

this is literally four sequels down the line (at least by the order im writing them) but the reckoning is coming. this guy is going to be forced to choose between his unwillingness to change in any way that matters and his journey and struggle meaning anything at all. he has never cared about the gun to his own head, but if he doesn't start he's never going to be happy. it takes a push with him, an impulse: something stronger than the friction holding him in his grating routines and comfortable, familiar miseries; something strong enough to overpower his every sense of shame.

dogs leading dogs as it is now is about knowledge and the learning of it and what that knowledge can help its adherents achieve. it's about two very flawed people who come together to mutually recognize the other's personhood, as unconventional as it may seem from their own perspective, and how that knowledge of personhood obtained during that quest can save them. how they can both use that knowledge to alter their perspectives, and how they can learn from each other as they do so: the pikmin learning independence, and olimar learning to accept change.

the problem is that olimar doesn't learn that. olimar learns just about the opposite of that, in fact. and it's going to take all of DLD2, and all of DLD3, and a good amount of DLD4 before anyone will have the will to scream at him with a gun to something he actually cares about, because god forbid would it ever be himself.

this guy is going to get skinned alive by something that knows him better than he knows himself. and he can either sit there and take it, or he can fight back. so it's a shame that he never fights under improbable odds, only the impossible or the certain. maybe if someone drove that like a railroad spike through his stupid stubborn skull he'd actually have a chance.

(on a less literarized note, id just like to say that pikmin 3 is a god tier character study for olimar because it takes a really special kind of person to get that fucked over by their own individual hubris, and an even more special kind of person for Olimar's Comeback to happen at all. (but that's for DLDP3, and by the time DLDP3 rolls around our single most important canon divergence has grown into such a canyon that Olimar's Comeback won't even happen at all. but you didn't hear that from me))

(and on a comedic yet entirely unexaggerated note, this guy's got 99 problems and the various methods by which he lies to himself to maintain a facade of normalcy and self-satisfaction and generally his inability to level with himself that everything wrong in his life is not fine is about 98 of them.)

To me Baylan and Shin is Iroh and Azula in Au...kind of. 🤷‍♀️

i think Shin wishes she was less of a wet cat and more of a “i will set the world on fire to warm my hands and they’re not even cold.”

azula is terrifying and while i think Shin is certainly frightening i also (delusional) am hoping for more of a Zuko arc with her. redemption i guess but more importantly realising that just because Baylan saved her (probably from being hunted by Inquisitors or, worse, turned into one) doesn’t mean she has to tie all her lifelines to his cause.

i know we joke about Shin being 👁️👁️ confused.com about everything but really!!! i think she believes in Baylan, and she believes in having somewhere to belong. she’s an arrow and she goes where momentum takes her but… i’m so struck by how she fights Sabine on Lothal.

it’s a dance. she stands there, waiting, and she doesn’t do it out of malice but because she’s curious. there’s no reason to think that Shin has ever met another girl like her. she’s been trained to fight, honed into a weapon, flinging herself at problems. she’s a cutting edge but in that fight she’s holding back. she’s playing until she forgets herself and sheathes her sword in Sabine’s body.

it has that “i like you but i don’t know how to like you.” so instead, Murder

Sabine is always defending and Shin is just testing her, taunting her, saying better better i’m better (i’m enough). she sidesteps that green lightsaber, totally unafraid of its bite, and in that sense i think she’s like Zuko. she’s just… looking for something to make her feel whole and then she sees Sabine and here’s another person who feels what she feels, right?

but she doesn’t. i think that’s half the vehemence of “you have no power.” there’s a hint of betrayal in it, of Shin’s horrible hope that she might have found a person who could understand her.

i think what we’ve seen of her is… so interesting because the ONLY agency she has shown is her fascination, her anger, her fury and helpless attraction to Sabine. that little smirk at the start of their second duel, the way she seems to lose every iota of her composure as soon as she sets her blade alight. it’s so rich and i think there’s a so MUCH to Shin that we can’t see yet.

i think she’s just reaching out with the Force and aggrieved at the silence she finds in Sabine but also… fascinated by this girl she cannot read, cannot predict. i mean… look at how she reacted to her, Force choking her when it was pretty obvious she posed little threat to Baylan. that was frustration and fear and silence, not her being pointlessly cruel. she’s burning up like she’s ice and Sabine is magnesium.

and i think Shin will fall for that. for the loud colours and the lightning to her fire that Sabine has become.
