Ferrus Manus and scrunky tiny human child he happened to find on Medusa. Because I find the notion of Ferrus trying to dad increadibly funny (also putting to work design of him I drew yesterday)

Ferrus pretty much spent few years before Emps found him in the mountains of Medusa doing whatever he felt at the moment, until he came upon kid who was yeeted in the mountains by their parents. Would he care? No, but child's body was covered in necrdoium just as Ferrus' arms, so he pitied the kid's fate. And took them.

Also kid had a habit trying to become a lunchable to local fauna, so some supervision was neccessary.

My real ultimate Maul Meta is that as a character he is primarily motivated by fear. Not anger, not power. His tendency to seek power is not necessarily because he actually wants it (as evidenced by the fact that he lets vos/qi'ra run the show, he doesn't want to be front of house so to speak) but because he's afraid. His powerbase is security for him. His need for an apprentice is also about security because the only one who can backstab you is the person watching your back.

His most telling scenes are when he talks about sidious and his very visible fear. Probably THE most illuminating scene is him begging ahsoka to let him die and his subsequent freakout, since he has just failed to convince her to fight with him + he doesn't want to be kidnapped and returned to sidious. Death is preferable to being remanded to sidious' care - particularly after he has just spent some amount of time being tortured. Presumably he then fucks off to Dathomir for the next 19 years quietly running his side business and staying far the fuck away from anything with even a distant whiff of sidious

When Garth Ennis writes the Punisher he genuinely engages with the idea of what kind of a person you'd need to be to be the Punisher. To be a marvel comic books vigilante like that. And the answer Ennis arrives to is that you can't be a person in any real sense, to be able to go in and kill people and do it forever, because what is the Punisher gonna do if not that? Stop? Change? Die? Of course not, there will always be a new Punisher comic.

When Ennis has approached the question of how it'd possibly ever end (like in the fittingly named Punisher: The End) the answer is that Frank Castle would keep on killing until there's nothing left to kill and then he'd die. Because the unending status quo by its very nature requires an inhuman killing machine. Even when Ennis writes about the start of things (in Born) there's no real change beyond Frank just admitting what he has always been.

This is btw why I also don't' agree that Billy Butcher from The Boys is similar to Ennis take on the Punisher, because the narrative Butcher exists in has consequences. There is a scene in The Boys where Mallory describes Butcher as someone seeking an unending war (as the Punisher does) but Mallory never understood Billy as a person. Perhaps Mallory, who is in some ways less of a realist, can believe, or want to believe in a person like the Punisher being possible.

No, Butcher was capable of change at least once and changed first when Becky gave him the belief things could be changed for the better, and later on after Becky's death where he took every lesson he had learned to become the worst possible version of himself. There were several times when things could have ended quite different on an individual level...

do your monster boyfriends ever like to be silly and goof off??

grease struck me as the type so i got curious about hawthorne & calmo as well!

Of course! Some less than others, but they've all got some goofiness, intentional or not.

Hawthorn is a dork but usually, he'll follow MC's silliness when goofing off, such as MC gently splashing him when they walk beside a little stream in the woods or playfully tugging on the end of his fingers before he captures MC's wrist to return the gesture. Once he's more comfortable, he likes to put a leaf or two on MC's head. He'll sometimes watch MC walk right underneath a tree he's perched in and he'll toss an acorn at MC's shoulder to get MC's attention. He likes to hear MC's laugh and he eagerly turns an embarrassing moment into a funny one by playing into that stumble he just took by full-on falling to the ground and telling MC he has to kiss him back to life.

Grease is the gremlin. Though he can be a bit aggressive, he's not above licking MC's wrist just to hear a groan of disgust or sneaking up behind MC just to hear MC's breath catch in fright when MC already called out his name. He will listen to MC complain about coworkers or their work and say candidly "Want me to kill them/burn it to the ground?" and make MC laugh. He adores roughhousing with MC, and loves how MC fights back but is trying to hold back laughter or a smile because it's supposed to be serious. He tosses MC onto the couch and then playfully pounces before rolling them both onto the floor, and MC is laughing! He also teases MC the most, either with suggestive tones or genuine jests to hear MC's sharp retort.

Calmo is silly when he does not appear to be. He is the master of deadpan humor and it catches MC off guard when he makes a comment in his level voice and MC has to decide whether to chuckle or chastise him. His goofiness comes out when he gets little objects, anything from coins to dice to little beads, that he'll leave around the house for MC to wonder about and collect. Then he'll casually let MC know 25 have been found, but there are 13 more to go. Calmo will also purposely surprise MC by standing directly beside MC and startling MC with his unannounced presence. He claims it's not on purpose and MC simply is not paying attention, but MC swears a smile is pulling on his cassette mouth when he turns away.

Danny Webb as Aaron Livesy (2003-2006)

You’re the one who’s spoiled me. You’ve spoiled my life! You know, I used to think it were me who’d done something wrong to make you leave, but it’s not me. It’s you! No wonder Carl went to someone else.

i like to think klarion just. stole a house and put it in his own magic pocket dimension or something.

either that or vandal just kinda got him a house so hed stop waking up in the morning, walking into the kitchen to get some coffee, only to be greeted with the sight of klarion dead asleep face down on the couch, teekl on top of the kitchen counter licking a brownie, and the kitchen looking like masterchef if masterchef allowed you to put grenades in the batter

also lowkey like the idea of klarion just. not living anywhere. once hes done doing chaos in one place he moves to another place and does chaos there, and never actually stops anywhere for long, at most around the time it takes to steal food from someone and eating it before youre caught or possibly taking a catnap. hes chaos personified, he doesnt really need magic artifacts or spellbooks to do chaos or magic, so he doesnt really need anywhere to store that stuff. if he needs something he takes it from wherever and leaves it wherever. altho def think klarion enjoys theft and stealing stuff just cus he wants it so it would make sense hes got like a lil nest of stolen shiny stuff hidden somwhere even if he doesnt live there

the point is, vandal does not allow klarion into his kitchen unsupervised (not that that helps since klarion refuses to listen) and hes NOT eating anything klarion cooks (could be poisoned) (definitely has cathair in it) (vandal knows that because he SAW teekl put her paw in the batter) (theres hazelnuts in the brownies) (vandal doesnt like hazelnuts) (or cathair)

This is perfect writing, right? You have like this expositional conversation going on punctuated by comic relief with Cory. It's perfect. 'Cause it's like, a release valve. And, and then of course it comes around into the exposition where Turner's like, this is the relationship where you actually listen to each other. It's like, wow. Good writing. Just solid. -Rider

Thinking about how canon wise Raph has the most Control over his body, and seems to be the most balanced among his brothers because he’s so much bigger than his bros that if he’s not careful he could really hurt them so hes constantly holding himself back 90% of the time even when he’s upset at them his anger is controlled 

Also I like to think hes the one who does the most meditating maybe as children splinter spent more time with Raph training him to control his more feral behavior. That’s why they’re so close splinter teaching him meditation as a toddler so he could calm himself when he needed it most >>>>

it’s sort of saddening to see people regard jack as “savage” and a bad person to me. he was 12 (i think?) i don’t think applying our modern lens is accurate, especially since the society that raised most of us is the one they all lost unexpectedly

[good--merits-accumulated]

i fear i am endlessly predictable (writing new dps au which is once again fantasy with Arthurian elements)

[notquiteaghost]

in the early 2010s (sorry to describe them this way) i listened to a lot of slam poetry & due to the autism some of it lives in my head forever now which means i'll be going about my day n my brain'll go "strength starts the 'it gets moderately more tolerable' campaign" and then i'll be sat in the break room at work thinking about how actually disgustingly offensive it was of dan savage to tell lgbt kids "there is no improving your current circumstances! but maybe one day you'll escape"
