#but it does feel a bit confusing

wait trying to parse out how much the general public knows that eel o'brian and plastic man are the same in the modern comics. Plas isn't shy about his past but also feels so narratively weighed down by it.
the superheroes and the criminal underground knows along with a few other people, but it feels weird that there's no other repercussions/differing opinions from the populace.
Then again its been ages since I've read any run that isn't pre-90's so I could be missing something
#I just don't think writers ever really get that far with the idea#and since all he's had have been minis and team books#theres no real chance to explore it#but it does feel a bit confusing#and up to the whims of whoever is writing him#I think Kyle Bakers run touched on it a bit#but other than that I'm not sure#the simone mini sooorta had a reveal but idk

Escaping Mason au? 👀👉👈
(this ask kind of confused me so I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted lol but here's an AU where Mason decides to trap Reader for whatever reason!)
“Thanks so much for helping me pack,” you say, setting down a cup of tea in front of Mason. He smiles at you, sweet and soft like he always does.
“Of course, sugar. I’m always here t’help ya.” His large hand gently grabs the cup of tea as he sips it leisurely, his broad back leaning into the back of your chair. It’s one of the few pieces of furniture you have left to pack, the more heavy pieces being packed away thanks to Mason’s help.
Honestly, you’ll miss this place – being away from the hustle and bustle of the city has been nice. Plus, Mason has always been really kind to you, helping you whenever you needed him. Today is a great example of that – on top of helping you pack, he’s also baked some cookies for you to snack on.
“You know,” you say, taking a cookie and nibbling on it. “I’ll miss you, Mason.”
“You’re talkin’ like we aren’t gonna see each other again,” he says, laughing lightly. It makes your heart feel warm. “Y’know you can always keep in contact with me.”
“Yeah, thanks,” you respond, smiling, before you yawn.
“Y’should get some rest.” Mason places his tea cup down. “You worked hard today.”
You yawn again. “Mm, yeah, maybe I will,” you agree lightly, feeling your body sag from the weight of your tiredness. It’s unnatural how fast your body seems to droop, your limbs feeling foreign to you. But you don’t feel alarmed just yet – Mason’s there to make sure you’re safe, after all.
When you come to, you’re in an unfamiliar room, sort of. It’s… different, yes, but for some reason, it has most of your personal belongings inside. Blinking away your drowsiness, you look around, before alarm begins to settle into your bones. The heavy chain around your ankle doubles your anxiety, the familiar sight of your belongings doing nothing to soothe you.
As the door clicks open, your head swivels in panic, before a wave of relief washed over you as Mason comes in. He’ll save you, surely!
It isn’t until you notice how relaxed he looks – how pleased – that panic begins to bubble inside you again.
“Hey, Sugar,” he hums, twirling a collar with a cowbell around his finger. “D’you like your new room?”
“Wh–what… what–”
“It’s tragic, really – you really hurt my heart, sweetheart.” The way his expression droops is quite convincing to that point that you almost feel bad. “You were just gonna leave like that? Leave me? That’s quite rude of you, don’t ya think, Sugar?”
You’re too stunned – too shocked to respond.
He smiles, his previous illusion of sadness gone. “But it’s all okay now – y’can just stay here with me.” With easy steps, he begins to approach you, collar ready in his hand.
“I’ll be so good to you, Sugar.” The cowbell on the collar jingles with every step he takes. You feel dread fill your stomach, unable to do anything against him as he gently, but firmly, grabs your chin to lift your head, giving him access to your neck. Tears wet your cheeks as you feel the collar snap against your throat like a promise of your future captivity.
“Don’t worry, darling. You know I would do anythin’ for ya.” Gingerly, he wipes away your tears, looking pleased. “All you’ve got to do is be good for me.”
#yandere oc#male yandere#tsuuper ocs#yandere x reader#yandere x you#tw yandere#male yandere oc x reader#male yandere oc#monster boyfriend#bull boy oc#yandere bull boy#Mason Cane Tsuu OC#SO for context as to why i was confused:#Mason doesn't trap the reader lol?? so I was confused as to what exactly Reader had to escape from?#So I guess I took this ask as asking for an AU where Mason DOES trap the reader???#Idk if I read it wrong#feel free to ask for smth else if I got it wrong~ but maybe with a tad bit more info haha#also reusing art bc i have no time lolol

We are interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you a snippet of a potential ZoSan undercover as a married couple fic:
(Timeline wise shoehorned in sometime shortly after the timeskip, before the Strawhats make it back into the news big time.)
(People need saving from a exclusive circle of nobility, but most of the Stawhats have already been seen around the island, so the lot ends up on Zoro and Sanji to try get in posing as a freshly married couple on their honeymoon to try get more information.)
[after coming up with the plan and Zoro and Sanji hesitantly agreeing]
Robin: "You seem a little stressed, Cook-san."
Sanji, chain-smoking his third cigarette: "I'm fine, I'll do this… I just… I don't like lying about something as significant as marriage, alright? I know it's stupid, but that's just how I am."
Luffy, perking up from where one might have thought he wasn't paying attention at all: "Oi, Sanji, promise to protect Zoro?"
Sanji, puffing out smoke: "Obviously, the Marimo would get lost within all of two seconds without me having his back."
Luffy: "Good! Now, Zoro--!"
Zoro, already rising to the bait: "Oi, if anyone is protecting anyone, I'll be guarding your lanky ass, shit cook!"
Luffy, laughing: "Alright, then as the captain of this ship I hereby pronounce you married!"
Zoro:
Sanji:
Robin: "Oh my, congratulations!"
Brook: bursts into song
Luffy, grinning at Sanji: "See, now it's not a lie anymore, so you don't have to feel bad about calling Zoro your husband."
Zoro: "LUFFY!!! YOU CAN'T JUST--"
Sanji: wordlessly walks off to get ready for the mission
Usopp: "Wait, wait!" runs after Sanji, grabbing his wrist
Sanji: stares
Usopp, sweating nervously: "Need your ring size…"
Sanji: staring intensifies
Usopp, scurrying off as quickly as humanly possible: "Wedding gift!"
Luffy, in the distance, still being yelled at by Zoro: "Too bad we don't have time to celebrate, I really want some wedding cake… :("
#zosan#yes hello obviously i ship these idiots too#sanji actually makes use of his experiences on momoiro island and crossdresses for the sake of the mission#he's scary good at it too but no one asks for fear of sanji in a gorgeous dress kicking their heads off#maybe i have iva put them onto that mission in the first place simply because i think that would be funny#zoro is very confused but he won't have anyone claim he isn't treating his wife? husband? right even if its just for this mission#there's bed sharing; accidental cuddling; show kisses that feel too good; so so many endearments...#also zoro smoking with sanji because 'no fair woman of this status would ever be seen smoking moss head!'#zoro lighting one of sanji's cigarettes: 'you are a good wife indulging your new husband's bad vices then'#just zoro treating sanji every bit like he would a genuine partner and being stupidly endearing as he does#roronoa zoro#black leg sanji#monkey d. luffy#nico robin#one piece usopp#strawhat pirates#fake marriage#or is it?#one piece

May I ask for the story of the first time Gyomei regressed? I feel like everyone kinda just- panicked or smth bc the goddamn strongest pillar is a sweetheart innocent teenage boy who has no idea why these kids younger than him are complaining about being children but hey, it's okay! We'll all grow up eventually ^^
And they just stare like: wtf happened to the crying man, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?! HE WAS SUCH A HAPPY CHILD W H A T?!
(I came from the other blog before this one was made lol)
Tengen: Oh, it’s a long story! To summarize, Mr. Himejima was being the best and helping all us rugrats out in getting ready for bed! Lady Amane came in and saw this, and I guess she was feeling a bit maternal, cuz she kissed him on the forehead and thanked him! He was a flustered mess after that! He ended up sitting down in a corner for a while, but when he got back up, he was totally different!
Gyomei: Namu Amida Butsu… I thought I told you already… please stop telling this story!
Tengen: But you were so adorable! All the kids were freaking out, and you just hugged us, and sang to us… your voice is lovely, by the way! You were total teddy bear vibes! Mei-Mei is so wholesome!!! He’s so polite and precious… I need more!
Gyomei: Ugh…
#pint sized pillars au#psp au#demon slayer#kny#gyomei himejima#tengen uzui#mitsuri kanroji#muichiro tokito#that absolutely happens anon#he does get really confused about the situation when hes kid mode#and tends to get overwhelmed a bit when all the kids act out#so a lot of the time they just force themselves to settle down because they dont want mei mei to feel disheartened or sad

maybe controversial take, but i like to think of erik being mostly a huge ladies’ man (look at all the bitches he gets canonically, he can’t NOT love the ladies) but charles is just...... this HUGE exception, lmfao. for a while he was totally oblivious to the fact that he was into charles like that but then one day it smacked him HARD across the face that their Very Special Friendship is actually romantic. he’s since embraced being a bisexual disaster but before charles he had no clue.
would be even funnier if erik and charles had already fooled around a couple times before erik actually realized he was attracted to him. who among us hasn’t fucked their completely platonic bro??
it cant be a controversial take if youre onto something my friend .....
#snap chats#now some might say that a beautiful woman and charles xavier are not that different. are they right? who's to say really.#erik spedning time with charles and getting that gross feeling in his chest known as love and just thinking#'ah yeah no this is simply because charles is an esteemed colleague of mine whom i respect immensely'#completely ignoring the homosexual ideas he has in the back of his mind he is forcibly ignoring those. Charles Is His Friend. His Ally.#but does erik want him to be more ........ dare he think it .... nay ......... he is being foolish ....#it is only because charles was the first mutant he knew .. that is why he feels so special about him... surely no other reason ...#surely not because his Intelligent-If-Not-Frustratingly-Idealistic friend is incredibly handsome with beautiful lips and gorgeous eyes no..#lowkey is canon tho .... like it is gen so funny how often these two will say Very Flowery Shit about each other#like guys thats ..... hm ..... far beyond anything id say about my friend really !!!!!! maybe im just an asshole tho idk !!!!#im still not over that bit where charles was like 'yeah erik and i spend hours if not days on the phone. our wives are very confused'#girl your wives are confused cause theyre still yalls wives they are going to divorce yall so you two can get together instead 😭😭#in any case ... always a big fan of What Are We hcs ... shit makes me laugh forever ...#wdym yall basically raise a mansion of kids and talk about being each others everythings and youre still like 'we're just friends right'#my guy can be eight inches in his best friend and still be like 'surely this what all friends do'. ridiculous. i love them.

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!
Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).
Maya is incredible. I loved her.
I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?
WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;
i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.
Main Books

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1-10
events leading to Damian's death - affects Batman and Robin (2011) from issue #18
kind of a tough read especially with how Talia's written, but a lot of iconic bits like Batcow, Damian's vegetarian declaration, Alfred the cat, "We Were the Best, Richard."
Robin (2021)
another self-discovery adventure, particularly after Alfred’s death and a fallout with Bruce (and questionable writing choices from his last Teen Titans run)

“uh … it’s a bit girly … no?” javier examines himself in the reflection of his knife’s blade, looking this-a way and that, the dark blue of a large silken bow now peeking sheepishly around his neck as it sits gently in his hair. next to him, kieran clams up a smidge, hands still held close to his chest nearby his completed ribbon project on javier’s head. he finds it in himself to wring his hands a time or two rather than immediately undo his work as javier seems to continue to formulate his final opinion. “you … think so? look at me?” kieran asks, politely as a mouse. javier easily complies, turns at his hips and looks behind, up at kieran where he sits on the stump above him.
kieran, as he peers over, can’t help the meadow of flush that blooms over his neck, then his ears, then his nose and his cheeks. he can tell javier is deep in thought by the look on his face, mouth twisted just a might sideways, cocking his mustache awry, and the deep wrinkle sat between his brows. the ribbon he used matches javier’s vest perfectly, and the shine of the silk warms bright in the sun, just like every piece of jewelry and metal javier has adorned himself with. with this ribbon, javier’s hair sits lower on his head, ponytail draped down his nape and more hair framing his face in his bangs. kieran resists an urge to tuck one side back behind his ear.
kieran thinks that he looks like a painting, a muse, a love letter so heartbreakingly full of adoration that the only language it could be written in is bright swipes of pigment on a canvas. as he makes eye contact with the silk squinting around the red of a necktie, he thinks that javier may be right, if ‘girly’ could sum up ’poetry written in effeminate reverence’.
kieran always did think women made better art, wrote better books- found a better way to love. softer. warmer. prettier. like javier.
the world sounds like it’s underwater.
“i think … it’s very pretty. it suits you real well.”
earnest to a fault, the look in kieran’s eye dances gingerly with javier’s internal voice. it dips and sways him, and javier, despite his instinct, finds himself charmed by its rhythm.
“-b-but! i could take it out! if you don’t-“ javier looks down at himself in his knife again, the sunlight filtered through the leaves glinting a yellow green around his dark features, and kieran hands him patience on a silver platter. a rich blue makes friends with bright green quite easy, javier thinks. this is how he must look through kieran’s mossy lens.
“pretty … yes. you know, i think you may be right. i’ll keep it. gracias.”
#oizy asked me at some point to write about the exchange that happens when kieran first gives javier his first big ribbon … i think#and i’ve been thinking about it this whole time :’] and i’ve been wanting to write them for a long while now too so i thought it would be fu#n to just jot it down :’] … this could have been written better but i fear if i don’t post it now i never will LOL i’ll just overthink it 🥲#i have a few more writing drafts started that i hope i can finish soon …. writing is very fun for me ! i just … run out of steam easy and th#en never pick drafts up again 💔💔💔 i’m kinda the worst creater ever LOL#anyway ! yeah i think javier initially was very put off by it but kieran with all of his autismo wisdom simply does not gaf about gender#gender* roles. he just thinks ribbons and bows are so pretty and javier walks around like a little peacock so kieran thinks that he (literal#ly) deserves a big pretty bow on top !#this is still in horseshoe overlook actually. right before they move though. in the cusp of that time where javier begins to get curious abo#ut kieran and kieran begins to feel just a teeny weeny bit braver when it comes to … having a personality around the other gang members LOL#and at this point kieran’s attraction to javier (at the very least physically) has been fully realized. javier never really did like him (or#so he thought) but he’s left him completely alone for the past month or so and so kieran thinks he’s got enough emotional berth to try and#give him a gift. that’s why they’re so awkward and weird lowkey LOL javier is still a bit spiteful but i think towards the end of horseshoe#he has moments where he’s able to be very very calm about kieran and try to empathize with him. especially in the moments where kieran is so#kind to him that javier simply cannot find it in himself to think that it’s an act of some sort. it was immediately after this that javier w#ent hunting and gutted a rabbit so hard on accident that he ruined the meat by puncturing the intestines. he confuses even himself sometimes#pining ! but in a really weird and subtle and calm way ! i do think they have their moments where it’s like a wildfire in them and they just#get completely burnt up by it … but sometimes they also pine like the wax and wane of the ocean lapping at the bank. easy. calm. warm. love#unrealized yet but ever-present still. they carry the weight of love in their hearts around every day. these two are burdened by it. but whe#n they are together … this weight … the pits in their stomachs that they cannot rid themselves of … when they are together all of the sudden#it seems as though the world around them slows down. and it’s easy to feel … calm. like they belong there. like they’re okay and safe and ..#free.#anyway. i like them a normal amount :) and sometimes their dynamic is really complicated to me ! and they contradict themselves sometimes !#and that is really fun to me !!!#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#kieran duffy#javier escuella#javieran#hero more like shakespeare

Immortal Danny meets his Families Reincarnations after years
So, Immortal Danny had to suffer through the deaths of his friends and family. For some reason, they never became Ghosts in the Zone, but he has kept looking for them in the Zone for centuries.
Then, one day, Clockwork come to him and explains that his Friends have all been Reincarnated. Due to them having died peaceful deaths, there weren't enough emotions to be turned into Ghosts, instead their souls were Reincarnated due to the amount of Ectoplasm in their bodies.
Danny goes to the Universe where they were Reincarnated, and finds that they all ended up reincarnating in a similar time-frame and location, and all ended up meeting eachother again.
His family and friends Reincarnated as the Bat Family
Bruce is actually the reincarnation of Jack Fenton, and while he is still a much better driver than before, Alfred prefers life thank you very much. He uses his Tech Know-How to build all his Bat-Gear. Hall also freakishly strong, and he isn't a Meta, so he has always been a little confused about that. His lingering guilt at being a bad dad in his past life leads him to be as great a dad as he can in this one.
Maddie Fenton is now Selena Kyle, using her natural athletic expertise and genius level technical know-how to steal artifacts from museums better than her canon counterpart ever could. She has always felt a connection to Batman for some reason, and flirted constantly.
Jazz became Barbra Gordan, and she is just as much a psychologist in this life as the last, but she uses it for Crime solving instead. I'm just going to say that she was officially adopted without Comissioner Gordans knowledge. He is not happy when he finds out that his daughter is legally shared by him and bruce.
Sam became Cassandra Cain, who for some reason has new Plant Powers reminiscent of Poison Ivy. Her soul is still technically that of the "Daughter of Undergrowth", so she gets her plant powers even in death. She now considers Poison Ivy her new sister for some reason. She is also still a Vegan.
Tucker is now Duke Thomas, who is confused as to why he seemingly has Egyptian Magic alongside his own Meta Abilities all of a sudden. He also has a talent for Coding and Hacking that could rival every other member of their family.
Tim used to be Wes, who befriended Danny after a while in his old life. He uses his smarts to figure out Batman is Bruce Wayne, and becomes the second Robin.
Dick was Dash, who mellowed out and became a good friend to Danny a while after the end of the series. In his new life, he is much kinder to everybody around him, as a remnant of his guilt for being so mean in his past life. It's alsowwhy he became a Cop.
Jason is undecided. Maybe he is still a friend to Danny, but he met him when he died and Danny found him while wandering. He considered him a little brother before he was resurrected and lost his memories. Or maybe he was another of Danny's friends, idk.
Alfred used to be Mr Lancer, and he has always had a weird talent for dealing with chaotic and freakishly strong teenagers. He also has a Love for helping children down on their luck.
Steph could have been Star, who rekindled her friendship with Danny after a few years as well. I honestly just like the idea of Danny's bullies becoming his friends after getting their life together.
I don't know about many of the others
This could then go 2 ways
Option 1:
When Danny discovers that his Family has all Reincarnated, he decides to Reincarnate as well to be with them again. With the help of Clockwork, he becomes Damian Al Ghul, born only a little time after his other family and friends.
He makes it so that he will slowly regain his memories and powers over his lifetime until he hits the age of 14, the age he was when he died.
The other Batfamily Members are confused, because Damian all of a sudden called a Family Meeting, and began telling them a story about how they were all the reincarnations of the mortal friends and family of the Ghost King. And that he is the Ghost King as well.
And it makes sense for some reason, they have all had vivid dreams of past lives, or skills and abilities that they don't remember picking up.
They slowly accept his story and the story continues from there.
Option 2:
Danny just goes directly to them after figuring it out, and the Batclan is suddenly visited by the God King of the Afterlife shouting about how he finally found his family.
Danny is just happy to be there, while the others are looking at bruce like "Oh my god, his Adoption Addiction has gotten so strong that the souls of the dead are being adopted by him"
And Danny is meeting his new brother Damian.
Or, Bonus Option
Danny goes to meet with them, then Damian walks in and pulls him aside. Tells him to ask for Clockwork to Reincarnate him, and pushes him through a portal.
A combination where Danny meets them, and then after he meets them goes back in time and Reincarnates himself as Damian.
#Dp X dc#DC X DP#Danny phantom#DC#Dcu#Reincarnation#The batfamily are confused#Why is this kid telling them that they have past lives#And why does it make sense!?#After the reveal danny just shows up at the Watchtower as Damian but in his ghost form#And the League are just like “did your kids die again?! Oh no!”#And Bruce is just there like “no no this is normal”#And Constantine is wondering why the Batfamily suddenly feels like they are a bit more eldritch each time he meets them#He finally knows and it terrifys him that Batman technically has jurisdiction over his soul#Since his son own his soul and he can just ask his son to borrow it#I need somebody to write this!!!

Gghhhh I can't believe how crazy I am for Arthur!! 😭😭😭 and how crazy he is for me!! I don't know, I think there's something special about how like IMMEDIATELY smitten we'd be with each other 💖💖💖
Especially since usually with the sort of pairing we are (awkward guy and /slightly/ cooler girl) you'd think there'd be more emphasis on Arthur trying to...EARN it if that makes sense? But nah as soon as Jane saw what a sweet, sincere soul he is, his unbridled and unapologetic passion for Christmas, when she heard his goofy ass LAUGH for the first time?? She was head over heels for this goofball just as much as he was with her 😭💖😭💖😭💖😭 all he ever had to be was himself
#jane journals#self insert talk#🎄 my christmas wish 🎄#hiiii i took a little catnap#and i was thinking about this 🥺💖💖💖#and idk there's the pining stage but they're pining for EACH OTHER#and jane isnt SO oblivious that she doesn't catch on to his feelings for her honestly#she just understands that things might need to move a bit slower#thats why she waits a year to ask to see him again. shes sure she cant help herself then#and ARTHUR on the other hand naturally does have some insecurity issues but the thought never rly crosses his mind to change#like his worry is that he's somehow MISREADING (literally. cause letters) how much she actually likes him#cause he doesnt wanna ruin what they have#idk i think its sweet!!#they take things slow and she's fucking crazy about his goofy ass!!!#and he's still confused how a queen like her loves him but ykw she'll remind him!!#there's nothing that he ever needed to prove

I think it's fun that different characters give a different time period for how long Rook was in the Fade Prison. Both because everyone's perception of time is different (and gets weird when you add grief to the mix) and because it means we can headcanon how long it took each specific Rook to get out of there based on how well we think they'd have managed their regrets
#Reblog with how long you think your Rook was stuck in the Fade Prison lol#I think Asha is getting out Fast because she is both logical and emotionally intelligent. She's the one in there for just a few days#maybe a week; just because the Fade is confusing#Whereas Cassia is taking at least the first week just to get up the will to even try. It takes her at least a month to get through this.#My girl has Regrets™#And she has a lifetime of practice running from feeling them that she has to overcome#Veilguard spoilers#Cassia Mercar#Asha de Riva#It would be pretty hard for Lyric too. She's so used to hiding behind masks that it's hard for her to be real even when she's alone.#but it's also hard to perform without an audience. It takes her a while to even figure out how to respond. I'll say 2-3 weeks#Valrun probably takes a bit to just get their bearings so I'm going to give them 1 week#When Val does finally face things though they have an easier time of it than Cassia. Working through their regrets is healing for Valrun.#It feels like torture for Cassia.#Lyric de Riva#Valrun Ingellvar

I love characters that make absolutely no sense within the context of the narrative they are in. I love characters that break the most fundamental laws of the universe in which they exist, yet keep on existing, and even excelling, within that story nonetheless. I love characters that are seemingly the exception to the foundational tenants of the narrative's worldbuilding, and their whole deal is NEVER explained. I love characters whose answer to the question "wait, hold on, if that's the case then how do they EXIST??" is "haha well the author thought it would be cool at the time and also fuck you that's how." I love characters that are essentially waking, talking glitches in a narrative's matrix.
#yes this is about#hei xiazi#THAT BASTARD MAKES NO SENSE#every new dmbj lore bit i come across just makes me go ???? HOW does he exist???#anyways pls don't explain anything npss#bc im sure that whatever explanation you give will not be as fun as the sheer confusion i feel#whenever i think about the ramifications of a guy who “accidentally” acquired some form of longevity#without being related to the Longevity Family#or without turning into a monster#in a narrative where those are pretty much the only two viable options for longevity/immortality#dmbj

just finished playing portal revolution. I like evil science lady and her rabid vacuum cleaner
#my art#portal revolution#very well put together portal mod#puts in on the shelf with stories mel of good portal mods i have played that connect gaps in the story or add to it in some way#i think i shall put this in the portal tag as well. apologies if it does not belong there#portal#portal 2#this mod was well written and well voice acted. only thing i didnt like so much was the ending. them being sent to the moon was funnny tho#i mean the after credits scene made me feel better but at first i was just like. huh? so they just all die in the end?#it was a bit fast paced like riiiight at the end. the very very end#also while im talking ive noticed a lot of portal mods struggle with 'boss fights' and making them puzzles but still fast paced.#which is fair because its hard to make fast paced puzzles while still being challenging while still being easy etc etc#the puzzles in the last chamber were a bit confusing to figure out at first and i got stuck a lot#which led me to just standing there trying to figure out where to go at times which slowed down the pacing#the rest of the puzzles were great tho. maybe a bit easy but still great#also i spent like 5 hours in the game! so far! thats a good 5 hours of extra portal content! woohoo!#art of duck

is anybody else, like, disappointed about cassandra's introduction in season 3? forgive me if im missing something but in s2 cassandra went by they/them and was written and implied to be nonbinary, only for them to retcon that in the next season.
like dont get me wrong its their character and they can write them however they choose but still... it kinda sucks :(
#d20#dimension 20#d20 fhjy#fantasy high#cassandra fantasy high#cassandra fhjy#rambles#i cant be the only one right ?????????#like. u cant have a character go “im neither the old goddess nor the nightmare king anymore. im something in between. like neither of them”#and then go “oh theyre cis actually”#like. they can do that. but i dont like that they did that#i feel like im missing something but the more likely scenario to me is just that#it had been years since they finished s2 and probably just forgot#so from my perspective i remembered that fact bc ive been binging the series lately & didnt have to wait years#im not crazy right. does anybody else remember that#ive had this drafted for a little bit and im scared to post it bc i dont want people to be mad at me but like#im still thinking about this. euughhh#no spoilers for junior year pls i am not finished with it yet#i find it more confusing than anything. why'd they do that

everything involving robonyan and b3-nk1 is so hilarious if you think about it. yea in the future jibanyan is a gay ass robot with a robot boyfriend. but also robonyan keeps being retconned out of existence so who knows anymore honestly-
#puppy rambles#yo-kai watch#robonyan#b3-nk1#first shadowside retconned his existence and then y-school heroes did. y-school heroes esp did#haven't watched shadowside but i mean. if meeting amy again made jibbers turn into his og series form for a bit#i feel like meeting nate again also would realistically (potentially for longer) and nate dying is why jibanyan became robonyan in the dub#so who knows. shadowside confuses me greatly. and y-school heroes also does i know it's meant to be canon but i just#can't see it that way. what is up with it

Ok, Hogan's Heroes fandom, I've got a question for you: if you were introducing someone to the show for the very first time, which episode would you start with? For bonus points, also tell me WHY you choose that episode.
#Hogan's Heroes#bonus points can be exchanged for a reduced sentence in the cooler#the next time you have to take the fall for something on behalf of the mission#half of this question is borne from curiosity and the other half is because I do want to introduce a friend to the show#as soon as I can convince her to actually give it a chance#I may have asked something like this before but I can't remember so we're doing it again#personally I wouldn't start with the pilot because that's where I started#and I was VERY confused about a couple of details (namely who's who) for like half a dozen episodes after that#so I'd probably just start with Hold That Tiger but idk if there's a better choice#it's hard to see these episodes through the eyes of someone who's never seen any of them before you know#idk I feel like no matter what I do my friend's just gonna have to be a little bit confused the first couple episodes 😂#and I just have to hope that I can convince her to press on#not that it's bad at the beginning by any means but it does get better once you know the show

Priorities are had lol.
i can't say i've played a lot of veilguard but here's some sillies for the beginning of it anyways. b/c, ngl, i kinda wanna see what exactly would happen if Solas took down the veil. But if he had actually killed Verric i would have quit then and there.
#dragon age veilguard#does it count as spoilers if it happens withing the first 30 minutes?#dav spoilers#just to be safe#my doodles#dav harding#i'm just trying to do some doodles to get back in the swing of things#b/c my burn out is pretty much gone#but ive also discovered new hobbies that are taking the time that drawing and writing used to have all to itself#ngl just a bit disappointed in veilguard#ive only played like 10 hrs or so and i still feel like i'm in the tutorial#plus after the very open world of inquisition this semi open world feels very limiting#(i also low key hate the fighting mechanics)#(why do we need ten million things to keep track of)#(i've noticed this in a lot of new games and i am not a fan)#(i'm not good at fighting in general so it's just making it more confusing for me)#(plus it's all reaction based and my reaction time is shit)#(i am honestly having more fun playing infinity nikki than i am dragon age right now)#(which is not something i ever thought i'd say)#(anyways i'm done complaining)#(I'm going to get some work done before i have to go to bed)
