i desperately need to know who did ant’s halloween makeup, his glittery highlight in 2x06, and his hair for formal like ??????? is my guy super artistic???? do he and spider pre together and spider is always recruited to help his queer bestie with his Look???? i require answers
#also yeah i adore how ant is the one who tries the more creative hair and makeup looks#compared to the other boys#if he turns out to be straight i will be ignoring it completely#cause he’s just so queer in every way#like dusty paints his nails blah blah blah but ant had GLITTERY HIGHLIGHT AND SPIKY GELLED HAIR#the styling of these characters is way too intentional to not be signaling at queerness with ant#anyway#idk what this turned into#this is just one of many things i want answered about ant and his private life#heartbreak high#anthony vaughn#brodie townsend

When the ghost who read to you as you died activates all of your Must Protect instincts
#payneland#edwin x charles#dead boy detectives#dbda#join me as I try to ignore all of the sad implications hidden on this one#even though I was the one who hid them there#like edwin being scared of spiders#sure but charles thinking about his death as something pathetic?#comparing the way he was murdered by his own friends#to this other boy who escaped HELL?#who is kind and knowledgeable and clearly not weak#unlike charles himself who will never be worthy?#give my boy some self esteem issues#wait i'm not ignoring the sad implications#ignore that I just wanted to show that charles probably thought Edwin was pretty aces

Prompt: Dick Grayson has worn all too many faces in his life. Richard Grayson, Richie Wayne, Robin, Nightwing, Batman, Renegade, Agent 37, the Gray Son, Crutches, Ric Grayson… the list goes on.
So when Nightwing is kidnapped and drugged via truth serum, and his kidnappers ask for his true identity, Dick responds with “I don’t know”.
This has consequences.
#dick grayson#richard grayson#batman#dcu#nightwing#dc comics#batfamily#batfam#fic prompt#some commentary on this:#dick’s relationship to his identity is so interesting even compared to his family/other siblings#because he has uniquely needed to commit to each and every one of them#like Bruce has his Matches persona#but in comics he only stays like that for a few hours or days at a time before switching it up#some of the boys have also had ops#but they’ve only had to stay in character for a long time (>1-2 months) like once#meanwhile dick has been long-term assuming identities his entire adult life#depending on the continuity you follow#he’s renegade for like 6 months#then crutches for a few months#then needs to become Batman and assume Bruce Wayne’s responsibilities#then immediately goes to Spyral for a YEAR plus#then immediately becomes Ric for another half year#that’s not even taking into account the switching of his hero personas or anything else#these are just ops he’s had to live#(willing or unwilling)#and when you consider this is all over a 4-5 year time span#he’s almost never Dick Grayson. there literally isn’t enough time.#how long has dick been able to be dick? he’s probably held some personas for longer than he’s been himself

Out of sight, out of - wait.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#granny wen#a-yuan#It's always fascinating how colours translate from the page to the screen.#It would probably surprise a lot of people to see what some of these comics actually look like in physical form.#My lighter colours takes about 3-4 washes before it shows up on scan which means it tends to ripple the page.#And my yellows and oranges are drastically different colours when scanned compared to the ink colour.#There's about 20 or so comics where everyone's hair is purple - because it scanned in the exact same colour as my light grey.#Wait my book is right here in front of me so I can...yeah...Comics 57-77 were indeed purple.#This is all to say - is it not fascinating how what we see is often not the full truth of what the subject truly is?#Is it not fascinating to open another episode that reminds us that despite everyone's claims they could totally spot the evil YLLZ-#-The man walks around among them for months as no more than a man haggling for deals like the rest.#It's almost as if he's just a person. It's almost as if none of us - no matter what we do are really anything more than just a person.#Your good acts will be overtaken by how other's interpret you in negative light.#Just as easily are people willing to forgive crueler actions if they hold you in high esteem.#But what's real? Is the page I hold the real version of this comic? Is it the one you look at?#Is the man known as Wuxian the most himself when he is alone or on the battlefield?#Perhaps he is and has always been a scared orphan boy lost in the market.#I think there is no good answer to any of these questions.#But I do know that panic rising in WWX as he frantically looks for A-yuan was for more than one boy.#To be human is to have layers around a delicate center. We only really grow around our wounds from childhood.#In other words; Donkey from Shrek would also probably call Wei Wuxian an onion. I'll see myself out now.

Imagine for a moment if right after Niko had pointed out the starfish to Edwin and said "They're in love." Charles had come in, completely oblivious and pointed to them saying, "Hey, they're just like me 'nd you, right Edwin?"
#dbda#dead boy detectives#charles rowland#edwin payne#payneland#niko sasaki#today's crack thoughts brought to you by my hilarious idea that Charles is always comparing him and Edwin to everyone and everything#some comparisons are more accurate than others#but Edwin enjoys that all of Charles' insane comparisons pair them as a set#it's never 'that's just like you' or 'it's just like me'#it's always 'it's just like you and me/me and you/us'#i had another one that led to this thought but now i don't remember because the urge to post the second i thought of the starfish-#overwhelmed me#please reply to this with the most insane comparisons you think Charles has made to them over the years

Just a silly guy, with silly silly thoughts.

Casual | Surprise
A casual surprise?😬😬😬
#Hooooo boiii this lad is about to get funky.#He was internally screaming the whole time.#It's in my core memory as a connverse fan. I'm never truly going to let this up I believe. haha#Our boy really one day went out there wanting to get married as a teen like a true classic Disney princess. 😭#It was honestly endearing but sad and also pretty embarrassing. 😔#Secondhand embarrassment aside. Steven is pretty much lucky in the romance department. Which. Deserved by the way. With all the other#crap he had to deal with.#connverse#Steven Quartz Universe#Connie Maheswaran#SU#my shiz#my comics#teal#SU comics#glowweek#connverse week#I have no idea if whatever Connie is spouting are actuallt true in real life. Good thing this can be chalked off as just a thing in their#fictional world.#Also I'm glad part of that was covered by Connie's body because I had to take a few notes from chat GPT to add in her enumerated rambling.#I had to make the glow bracelet float like that because I couldn't draw his hand holding it quiet right in that angle.#And yea that size difference is no error. That's how small Connie's wrist is compared to his hands. Or at least something like that.#comics

the fact that charles was so gentle and sincere with his answer to edwin's confession is something I could never forget... because that's what love is about, right?
love is in the way charles could never hurt edwin on purpose, is in the way he protects him, in the way he knows when edwin needs to be seen; love is in the choice of every one of his words, in the way he knows that being honest is the only right answer.
there's still forever waiting for them, there's still forever waiting for charles to figure it out, to discover if he loves edwin in a romantic way too, and it doesn't matter if is not romantic in the end, because that it's just a side of the love they share.
i think is so important not to overlook something like that, not to let that pending romance overshadow the fact that they already love each other in every other way.
because in the end, we are talking about two boys that have experienced excruciating pain, that have seen horrifying things during all their existences, and in spite of it, or maybe because of it, are capable of loving each other in a way that's so pure and strong and relentless...
reducing the importance of it to a reciprocated romantic love seems so simplistic and inconsiderate to me.
#I swear they are making me cry if i stop to think about their bond for two long#so i may stop for my own sake#believe me i want for them to be a couple too. i just don't think it is gonna make their love more important that it alresdy is#you cannot compare any other relationship with the way they love each other#i'm just saying#dead boy detectives#payneland#paineland#paynland#edwin payne#charles rowland#dbd#liv rambles#painland#edwin paine#dead boy detective agency#edwin x charles

can we talk about how tesseralia makes tres horny boys who they are and parallels them in story and song beautifully. magnus coaching a group of kids and encouraging them and telling them they can win when all the odds seem against them vs hoisting angus on his shoulders and telling him to let the world know they won. taako’s first profound experience of the bonds formed through cooking vs developing the power to fight the embodiment of despair and apathy through cooking a meal with somebody. merle’s first meeting with his greatest enemy who’s completely ideologically opposed to his commitment to love and joy vs his last moment with his old friend john appreciating the beauty of the world together
#magnus’ might seem like a bit of a stretch but idk i kinda see both of those as tying into his arc as the protector#also can we talk about the fact that magnus’ happy future in paloma’s last prophecy is angus#i feel like its so little to go off of cause its such a small moment but its so interesting#obviously taako is angus’ beloved teacher and mentor and they’re super close#but like… magnus is his dad. imo#(not that he can only have One parent. i think he’s also ‘parented’ by lucretia and carey & killian and to an extent taako+fam and merle)#angus representing magnus’ happy future directly compared to lup and merle’s kids to the other boys… there’s something there!#not to mention he clearly wants to have an emotional; familial; perhaps even parental moment w angus in giving him his grandfather’s knife#he raised a jellyfish son with lucretia Already they can coparent a human child just fine probably#taz balance#taz#the adventure zone#mine#thb#analysis#taako#magnus burnsides#merle highchurch

simultaneously wanting to cry out "HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE ME HERE" and "NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN"
aka what happens if you combine prime!sonic (sweetest boy) and fof!tails (most traumatized boy)
bonus: HE DOESN'T KNOW
#sonic the hedgehog#miles tails prower#starved eggman#sonic prime#unbreakable bond#if they look weird: i am teaching myself to draw sonic characters. i cant. im learning. pwease be kind. peace signs#i dont really play f/n/f and am nt particularly into sonic/exe#i mean i have an appreciation for it as a sonic fan when i was a kid. but there werent really different 'versions' of sonic/exe#people remade it and there were spinoffs (like sallyexe) but im unfamiliar with the new sonic/exe lore lolsies#but i saw starved eggman and i was kinda entranced... esp with the tails from this universe.#couldnt handle it for too long. need my boy to have his brother around. take a hug kid#also would be very funny for modern sonic to DECIMATEEEE starved eggman.#'you really do smell like rotten eggs in this world huh🤣egghead' 'sonic thats because he is filled with the flesh of our comrades.' 'What.'#real talk i dont think prime sonic becausehes sooo sensitive esp compared to other sonics could handle the starved universe.#he needs tails in this world as much as tails needs him.#but hed have to go home eventually right...? i dont want to think abt that#im super into sonic lately... the first thin i draw is this huh#my nyart

that particular flavour of caitvi stans screeching at critics of S2 about how, "you just wanted a simplistic happy ending! you can't handle the NUANCE! you have no MEDIA LITERACY!" while simultaneously insisting that we should all unquestioningly accept and praise arcane for giving us caitvi, which they hold up as the sine qua non of wlw representation, because their primary basis for comparison is... legend of korra. is she-ra. is owl house. is steven universe.
none of this is shade on those shows. all of these are okay-to-good-to-great shows, that did genuinely brave things with regard to representation and which often handled mature subject matters in age-appropriate ways. you know what they also are?
children's cartoons. they are cartoons for children.
sorry, when shows like black sails and andor exist, which have prominent wlw characters/ships, and which embed those ships in actually well-written, complex, adult narratives about freedom, oppression, rebellion, and self-determination, arcane doing a, "diversity win! your cops are lesbians!" is not enough for me to give it brownie points.
#caitvi stans consume media that is intended for adults challenge (impossible)#if arcane wants to pretend to be a Big Boy Show then it can handle being critiqued and compared to other Big Boy Shows#arcane critical#note: if u are a normal caitvi shipper who does not immediately throw a tantrum upon beholding criticism of s2 then this does not apply to#ok thanks

‘the black bastard of the wall’ moniker is the exact opposite of the ‘white wolf’ moniker and this perfectly highlights the irreconcilable differences between book Jon and show Jon
#‘white wolf’ highlights his stark heritage parallels him to robb and tries to align him with perfect moral goodness#‘the black bastard of the wall’ is only about jon. it has nothing to do with his stark heritage nor ghost. it’s only about jon#it’s literally white vs black#stark/winterfell/moral goodness vs bastard (targaryen bastard to be specific)/the wall/moral greyness and the duality of it all#he’s already a snow and he’s surrounded by white up north with a white direwolf so being the black bastard and dressing all in black#is perfect imagery of the duality theme in jon’s storyline#d&d rly wanted their jon to always stand in robb’s shadow 🙄#while book jon has an international reputation while still stuck at the wall#my boy is stuck in westerosi alaska and he’s got ppl across the sea yapping about him for pastime#that’s fame baby#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#GOT critical#jon snow#book jon snow#and i wanna know what other monikers george plans to give jon#while i wouldn’t be that suprised if the ‘white wolf’ did come from george it’s the way it’s jon’s only moniker in GOT that pisses me off#‘the black bastard of the wall’ supremacy#the white wolf seems kinda lame in comparison but say jon gets it if his hair turns white like some theorize#if that happens then i’ll like it more cause it’ll be about jon!#like… the young wolf is about robb. not grey wind. the starks are compared to wolves and robb is a young king and he just so happens to have#a direwolf. in the show jon’s ‘white wolf’ moniker is honestly more about ghost than jon! and that’s ughhh#but robb had the wolf moniker first so it feels once again like the showrunners were placing jon in robb’s shadow#UGHHH I HATE THE SHOW AND HOW IT RUINED THE WAY SO MANY PPL VIEW THE CHARACTERS#let jon be the black bastard !!#his color was always black and the wall is his !!#put some respect on his name and his badass moniker#i don’t want to see anymore shit about the white wolf cause that’s only d&d’s shit invention at this point#valyrianscrolls

Been avoiding the show because FUCK Amazon but. I said I'd post it so I'm postin it.
#i wouldve just not posted shit but were kinda reliant on amazon prime atm for reasons so i might as well watch the show ig#this will be like the only post on this show tho. just got shit recommended on youtube and was like “oh shit fr?”#like tf you mean the invincible war AND conquest in s3#where thragg? where he go? why hidden?#i will say. having powerplex who has the same silhouette as Mark and casting Jesse pinkman to kinda sound like Mark is hilarious. good job#and i like that Steven got to stretch his vocal talent even more with all the different marks#not sure about rexs death tho. the buildup was painful don't get me wrong but the actual incident felt weird#in the comic he's like messed tf up. mark gives a whole speech and asks him “what are you gonna charge and explode?” and all he can muste#muster is a desperate “my SKELETON.” before he kills them both. but in the show rex has like a stab and a bloody nose and h#hits him with the latter half of tv off before taking him out. like idk the comic really stressed how fucked he was in soloing a mark varian#like it helped show just how strong mark is even compared to other supermen. but honestly here it just didn't feel so desperate#but idk that's it. show still kicks ass. good stuff. buhbye. my next post will probably be politics i got a few things i would like to say#ttfn#invincible#mark grayson#rex splode#rex sloan#gambit#gambit xmen#remy lebeau#x men 97#rip my boys. my beatiful baby boys

I found a bunch of snippets I wrote that I'm unlikely to put into any actual fics so now I'm going to share them here out of context.
“I finished one you know. Took a while, but I did it.”
“What’s this now?”
“I finished reading one of your dusty, Greek books. It was in English, but I read the thing cover to cover. Honest. It was pretty good actually. It reminded me of us in the end.”
Edwin was almost afraid what Greek tragedy Charles was comparing them to now, but he looked so proud for having finished it, so Edwin couldn’t help but ask, “Which one was that then?”
“The Odyssey.”
Admittedly that wasn’t what Edwin had expected, and as far as Greek epics went it wasn’t the easiest to get through.
“I guess they made a musical of it? Crystal was playing it for me, and the songs sounded pretty cool, so I thought I’d give the book a go. Gotta admit the musical was easier to follow. Words I never thought I’d say.”
“You said it reminded you of us in the end? I can see you as Odysseus. Strong, brave, and using his wits to beat his opponents in clever, unexpected ways. Who would I be?”
“Penelope.”
Ghosts couldn’t technically choke, but that didn’t stop the shock from causing Edwin to cough. Of course Charles was at his side in a second, patting his back as if that could help. “Sorry, sorry. I guess I should say we’re both Odysseus and Penelope. It’s like you said, right? Odysseus’s super clever and using his brain to get out of all kinds of problems. So, he’s like you. And Penelope is also wicked brilliant, tricking the suitors to get off her back. Odysseus was all determined to make it back to her no matter what, and she was willing to wait for him, even though she actually had no way of knowing he was alive. I think that’s both of us, innit? If we ever got separated, we’d fight our way back to each other however we had to, no matter how long it took.”
#dead boy detectives#dbda#charles rowland#edwin payne#payneland#Charles not beating the vers allegations even in his imaginary comparison#Sir that is a husband and wife you are comparing you and your bestie to#Maybe self reflect a little#The inspo here was that post going around about how a Latin term about knowing someone so well was literally FROM Odysseus and Penelope#They know each other and trust each other that they can tell when the other is lying to a bunch of people#But also this is from my imaginary odyssey au with Edwin as Odysseus Charles as Penelope and TCK as Calypso
