a helping hand
Vash learns that Wolfwood has never had his picture taken before and he decides to do something about it.
Or - my little head cannon of how the group photo in ep 12 came to be!
I finally wrote something about the damn picture that ruined me. I just love the tristamp gang!!
Read on AO3.
#trigun stampede#trigun#nicholas d. woflwood#vash the stampede#tristamp#tristamp gang#i think about this picture a lot#i think about them and their adventures a lot#i wish we could have gotten just ONE filler episode of them!!!#anyways wolfwood is a disaster#i think he's sometimes self conscious about having missed out on 'normal' childhood experiences#but he does a good job of hiding it

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself#note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown#when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is#and how much his persona is more an actor#Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so#since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it#and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are#I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja#his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times#not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo#but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters#or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily#it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do#like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero#All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential#likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja#but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse#he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it#Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like#you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

It's easy to get the impression that Tetsuji never cared enough to rein in Riko's behaviour and temper but I think it's the opposite. I think Riko grew up constantly being told stuff like, "You have to learn to control your temper" and, "Is that any way to behave?" by Tetsuji. I think Tetsuji would have even disciplined him harshly every time he was caught acting out of anger. But all that is coming from Tetsuji - the man who would beat a kid if they displeased him in any way. How can you ever really take to heart the words of someone who demonstrates the exact opposite of what they preach? How are you supposed to not learn that the real lesson is, "Become the one who has all the power over everyone else and you will never have to suffer criticism for how you behave ever again."
#you cannot tell me that tetsuji isn't every bit as angry and violent as riko#he's just better at hiding it because he directs it at people who can't speak up about it or do anything about it#this is the sort of thing i mean when i say riko is a product of his environment#being treated a certain way reinforces certain behaviour patterns#sometimes those behaviour patterns just feed into a bad cycle which continues to reinforce them#it's not an excuse but it is an explanation#i don't know why i'm even saying this because i actually quite like riko as a character who's an awful person#i like him specifically because he's awful in an interesting way and i wouldn't want it any other way#aftg#riko moriyama#i feel like i could write essays about how riko#despite being a seemingly over the top evil villain actually does a good job of showing some of the worst responses to trauma and#how he reflects the worst that we can realistically become

it’s interesting that for all sam needles at dean after their father’s death to talk about his feelings… sam doesn’t. he doesn’t break down in front of dean. he doesn’t outwardly mourn him. he doesn’t sit down and talk about it. he just keeps it all in.
i don’t think sam loved their father any less than dean. sure, he had his hangups with the man but he was still his dad. there’s more of this though; sam never talks about jess’ death either. it clearly eats him up inside, but not once does he ever really talk to dean about it. no fun stories of their time together. no sad memories. no grief meltdowns, no yelling no crying no external signs of his sorrow at all except him becoming hollow and distant.
it’s so telling for me that sam is seemingly so outwardly caring but he never actually shows anyone what he feels. sam doesn’t grieve like dean. he clams up. he dissociates. he gets angry. when jess dies, when his father dies, when dean dies, it’s all about revenge. he stuffs down all of his grief and replaces it with fury.
sam is only playing at being the normal, emotionally stable brother. in his head, he’s a mess. he’s awful at managing grief. he never allows himself any catharsis, and he doesn’t trust anyone enough to externalize his grief, even dean. maybe its because every time he spoke out as a child, he’d be struck down by both dean and his dad. or maybe it’s just his nature. either way, sam is very, very good at repressing his emotions, shifting the focus to the people around him, and never really dealing with his own issues.
#oc#supernatural#spn meta#sam winchester#dean winchester#having Thoughts about him again#sam is worse at emotions than dean#he just does such a good job of hiding it that nobody notices

Sunny didn’t recognize Tubbo. The man in front of her was wearing her Pa’s face, he had the same smile lines and eye color, and he even had the same chronic bedhead as her Pa.
But this mad had a vacant stare in otherwise warm eyes. He had a tight stance that was ready to spring into action. This man carried the smell of blood and gasoline instead of oil and eath. This man was barking orders and slamming doors while telling her to keep safe.
This man was not her Pa, but she could still see him beneath the layers that this man wore. She could hear it in his voice beneath the growl of the other man’s orders and the rumble of the chainsaw. She could see the way his eyes softened when he looked at her and how his cold fingers would tighten around hers when she grabbed his hand.
This man was not her Pa, but someone her Pa became.
#tubbo slipping into the purgatory mindset yesterday would have bee a shock to sunny I think#he does a good enough job of hiding it in his daily life but as soon as shit hit the fan there wasn’t even a switch that was flipped#he just let the mentality consume him whole#especially because dapper is bads kid and bad is part of his team#bad is part of his flock#and lord forgive anyone who touches his flock#qsmp#qsmp tubbo#tubbo#qsmp sunny

Yuuji: why do they call it an oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food
Sukuna who didn't understand 75% of what he just said: ... ?? (incredulous connotation)
#just thought of this + had to put my idea down#although i'm sure it's been done before if not w the same exact characters#sukuna's in control of yuuji's body btw#uhhhh do i or do i not tag this for the masses (jjk tumblr) to see#fuck it why not. i have nothing to hide#if you need an idea of what kinda au this takes place in i recommend reading “you are here (and so am i)” by sunii_cafe on ao3#i'm lowkey obsessed w this fic + i the characterization is really good#it's hard to find “Good Sukuna” aus where he doesn't feel ooc + it does a very good job of not going that#if that matters to you obv. i know characterization doesn't matter to everyone#anyways. sorry about the rambling#jujutsu kaisen#jjk au#love like you au#<- my general “chilled tf out sukuna” au tag#itadori yuuji#ryomen sukuna#hotline yells into the abyss

had an odd dream that i was reading a comic book. sketched a couple of the pages i could remember.
#i might adapt this into an actual story because i am SO SO SO mad that it isn't a thing i can go back to reading#oc#im definitely keeping the concept of save-bot i fucking love save-bot he's just doing his best. i love a robot who wants to help people#im not equipped to be writing about underground rebellions with any sense of real tact though#besides its in a superhero universe/story so you know it would just be so sucks lol#sketch#god the colors were so interesting. the teal parts were all very precisely crosshatched and the fire was this gorgeous brush pen looking#colored inks that just seemed like they were MOVING#and i mean some of that was because i was dreaming but god even in my halfhearted copy you can see some of the movement#it was a bad scene but a really really REALLY fun dream. i love when a book can *get* to me so i was really enjoying it#put it aside so i could take a break and woke up. instant fury at the universe for not having it be a real book instead#ill reblog with details if anyone's curious. i can explain this scene but i dont feel like it#the green people are in a secret basement though. hiding from the government. blue jacket guy is a speedster robot named save-bot who does#rescue stuff with every fire department so fire suppression technology is not very good because save-bot "can just save you''#however they're badly over their legal occupancy and the secret basement has One (1) exit so everyone is like really fucked here.#includinig save-bot who is going to do his job until he dies because he is an ai without any sense of self preservation and he cares#which i didn't even CATCH until i woke up and started tryin to frantically note everything down#and then i was like wait. the glitter on that last page before i realized i needed a glass of water to keep reading... what WAS that...#(it was tears suspended in midair because save-bot goes so fast and also knows he's so fucked LOL)#seriously i'm so mad someone else didn't make this.

No, no I don't think I will "get over" this shows poorly veiled misogyny lol.
#ml salt#Adrien has always been the “female love interest” character who gets nothing substantial of his own#this is really obvious in Volpina: where Adrien's golden ticket to see Foo is usurped from him and given to Marinette through plot bs#Marinette is rewarded for Adrien defying his father. Adrien knows he will be punished for breaking into the safe but does it anyway because#the book is clearly filled with important miraculous info. Suddenly the fandom cries out:#but Adrien couldnt keep the book because hes too girly - i mean too feminine- I MEAN too stupid to figure out a good place to hide this boo#yeah okay listen if this show actually gave a single fuck about making him anything more than a female LI type of character#they would have come up with a way to make sure Gabriel couldnt take the book from him. he could have given it to Nino or something since#theyre ya know. friends. and Nino hates Gabriel so hed be cool with Adrien stealing from him.#something something people need to stop appying outside logic as for why characters behave a specific way#because the job of the writer is to clearly convey why characters do (x) thing

i’m feeling soooo nervous for my assessment monday. we’re going to review my answers to the questionnaires i was given and i’m worried i’m going to clam up on the spot and not be able to justify myself at all
#which is why i wrote 300 pages of notes in preparation#but what if she doesn’t believe me because i can’t articulate myself well#i was talking to my bf about this earlier and how i’m worried i’m not going to walk away with a diagnosis if i can’t communicate myself#to her in our meeting. and then realized wait. why am i so worried about not being able to communicate#LOL i’m probably fine. but like what if i’m making it all up and/or i can’t get her to believe me#idk she does. bc she asked if i’ve had staring spells and i said yeah since like 1st grade#and my dad said he hadn’t noticed me doing that. and then she was like ‘well she must have done a really good job hiding it.#which is what she wanted.’ so she KNOWS i’ve been masking#idk. it’s just wild. this is the most insane thing i’ve ever gone through

literally so unwell thinking about vergil. being hurt and haunted so badly that his way out is splitting himself in half, his humanity constantly withering away but carrying his nightmares nonetheless while the demon chases what he wanted for so long, nigh unstoppable but still not stronger than his younger terrified brother. fucking hell this guy
#dante is scared all the time he just does a good job at hiding it. he knows his friends rely on him so he fights#dante sparda#vergil sparda#dmc 5#i don't think a single game has made me this unwell

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans
#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers#also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww#Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like#or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong#Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks#Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it#I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship#Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless#And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree#In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire#Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent#The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot#These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief#He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too#Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan#Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny#I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them#But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known#each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker#But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker#through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan#But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship#Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years#And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it#They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers?#We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me#Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you#Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years?#I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop#And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made

🌼- What's your favorite thing about this oc? FOR ALL OF THEM >:3c
oh boy! okay let's go:
Cami: the fact that she's so fucking cool, I could gush about her all day. she just has such a strong sense of self, is very driven and doesn't take shit from people. And she's a full on music nerd with the best taste in music.
Spencer: I love his dry humor lmao; I often find myself busting out laughing at his lines. he's very quick-witted with the comebacks. he's that person that sees the straightforward answer to something and is like YEAH NOPE and goes left and says some extra shit. Which is funny because he hates talking.
Mira: that she has no filter and isn't afraid to say what's on her mind - makes for a lot of hilarious situations xD
Vince: how annoyingly persistent he is. Hear me out: imagine you're walking home from work and you see a stray puppy on the street. you acknowledge it for a few minutes not knowing that now it has immediately grown attached to you. It starts following you everywhere. You look back at it like 'no stop I can't take you in' but it just keeps following you, waiting outside your door, wearing you down until finally you're like 'ok!! I get it!! you want to be my friend and I have no choice!!'. That's Vince.
Noah: idk how to say this but...how perplexing he is? Noah's that character that comes off very outwardly cheerful and friendly, but in actuality he's quite sinister and will fully claim he has more vices than virtues. He seems to be that guy who would get along with everyone and bring people together but in reality he's very particular about the people he seeks out and thinks are worth his time. I didn't intend to write him like this but that's how he turned out and I've been enjoying exploring that in this new draft!
Jeremy: his positivity! He's Cami's brother and is the complete opposite of her in terms of mindset/mood - she sees the glass as half empty but he sees it as half full, always looking for the bright side of things/the silver lining. Which I think is a refreshing and admirable trait to have :)
#thanks for the ask!#ask games#oc asks#I can't even call Noah morally gray#because it's not like he's outwardly bad in any way#you would never expect that he's like that because he just does a good job of hiding it#perplexing and contradictory is the best way I can put it
