I was telling my sister about Titans, and she was like, “the whole Bruce/Dick/Jason storyline is like the prodigal son story, with the older and younger brothers' positions switched,” and I was like ohhhh???

#bruce is a VERY imperfect substitute for God the Father but CONSIDER the older brother — the heir #takes his inheritance (his supersuit and tech and weapons and porche)#and leaves telling his dad not to contact him #and the younger son receives everything that once belonged to his older brother #knowing how fortunate he is while also having to constantly hear ‘your brother did it this way’ ‘your brother was better at this’#all the whole looking up to his absent brother as his hero #he goes to meet his older brother while he is away and is met with a barrage of ‘our father doesn’t care about you or me’#‘our father will destroy you to accomplish his own ends’#‘no you don’t really know him — *I* know him’#‘being the eldest son isn’t an honour at all its a curse’#and THEN a little while later that same older brother returns and is welcomed home with open arms #their father gives EVERYTHING back to his oldest #ALL the privileges and love and honour and money and even a new supersuit #all is forgiven and given back in full — more than in full #and that’s wonderful and beautiful but what is the younger brothers perspective?#and THEN their father gives the younger brother into the older brothers care #‘go see how your older brother does it and then come back to me’#so he feels cast off by his father #and his older brother barely pays him any attention being preoccupied with his own issues #although he never abandoned their father and always did everything he was asked it’s his older brother who receives all the praise #after being beaten down again and again he finally returns to his father #and is welcomed but not with nearly as much fanfare as when his older brother returned #what is that going to do to him???#titans #titans tv show #titans tv #jason todd #dick grayson #bruce wayne #the prodigal son

I feel like being in the Port Mafia was bad for Dazai in the same way that being in the bath house was a bad thing for No-Face in Spirited Away.

Like…that scene towards the end of the movie where Chihiro takes No-Face to see Zeniba, and No-Face calms down and starts spinning and knitting, entirely peaceful? And No-Face decides to stay with her because it’s a better environment for him, one which won’t encourage his worst tendencies? That’s kind of what the agency is for Dazai. Dazai tends to reflect the people around him just as much as No-Face does—which is why I think being around Fyodor 24/7 in the current arc has not been a good thing for him, mentally speaking. But in the agency Dazai is surrounded by kind people, and he changes and becomes a bit better, just like Oda thought he would.

#this might be a connection other people have drawn already lol #but they really are rather similar characters right?#Mori said he saw himself in Dazai #but I kinda wonder if that’s because Dazai mirrors what’s around him.#unlike a large portion of the rest of the cast(especially the antagonists) Dazai doesn’t have high-minded motivations #and as Oda said he doesn’t care about morality.#which is very similar to No-Face—they’re both neutral entities who are primarily motivated by their connections to other people.#No-Face had Chihiro and Zeniba to pull him out of destructive cycles #while Dazai had Oda and the agency.#anyway don’t mind me it’s been a long week and I’m experiencing thoughts #...here's a cursed concept: Dazai rampaging through the PM like No-Face does on his way out of the bathhouse aksdfjksdfjks #throwing up all of his bad influences as he goes #or alternatively: dazai takes up knitting #bsd #bsd dazai #not art

nothing funnier than being a cleric who hates the abbot

#curse of strahd #the abbot #spiritual weapon and spirit guardians are my go-to and then he just DOES THEM BETTER THAN ME????#i wish we had time for me to be pettier about being replaced #like can the stupid abbot cast dawn? no? get outta here. i loved him until we got him as an ally #you have to understand as a player i love him. as a cleric he's encroaching on my territory #now i will accidentally take 61 seconds to get to his body to revivify

Drew a humanized Jogo and Hanami from Jujutsu Kaisen! I decided to make them sorcerers, but not affiliated with Jujutsu Tech. I'd imagine they'd be for-hire, kinda like Toji, but with actual cursed abilities.

#jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jogo #jogo jjk #jogo jujutsu kaisen #hanami #hanami jjk #hanami jujutsu kaisen #i imagine in this au the main cast are all curses and the curses are all the main cast #sukuna has grand plans to take over the world by harnessing the power of the long dead cursed curse-slayer #but then when he eats one of his fingers turns out the cursed curse-slayer is actually a pretty chill guy #and doesn't really want to take over the world #its yuuji btw. he lived in ancient times and killed so many curses he ended up turning into one #sophi screeches #jujutsu kaisen fanart #jjk fanart #jjk season 2

I am obsessed with how narratively convenient Lark's divinatory abilities are. She's the only one of the protagonists who is both pragmatic and has a working sense of self-preservation, so having some internal impulse that is actually the guiding hand of the cosmos pushing her into doing the REALLY stupid shit is both necessary and really useful.

Like, I am the type of writer who kind of scoffs at the idea that characters are beyond the writer's control and will completely screw over your outline, because on one hand, a sensible outline will follow the characters' personalities and tendencies anyway. Obviously in an ensemble cast you will need to do some wrangling, but in theory your characters are responding to varying degrees of stimuli in order to maneuver them into the places you need them to be for things to all come together in the end.

But more importantly, "curse from god" is the funniest and easiest way to push any character to do things beyond the realm of reason when necessary, and frankly, what the fuck is the point of playing god if you don't embrace that?

#midst podcast #midst spoilers #cr meta #anyway at all times I am advocating for taking full responsibility for your characters and overall story #this is also why I laugh at those posts like 'um if you're not going to treat your characters right then you shouldn't get custody of them'#sorry babe there is no CPS in my head. I am the cruel custodian and these are my poor darwinian orphans.#that's a joke but really like. look. yeah sometimes you gotta fabricate scenarios to make characters do what you want #but like... you do that by going 'who is this character and what would it take to push them to x'???#and especially in an ensemble cast sometimes that thing is 'curse from god' or 'divine insight'#fun fact: I LOATHE that post about 'my writing teacher made a joke that the characters are driving and the writer is locked in the trunk'#absolutely fucking hate it.#because THE WHOLE POINT OF FORMALLY LEARNING WRITING IS LEARNING HOW TO BE INTENTIONAL.#it is perfectly possible to write successfully without ever having a formal teacher but IF YOU HAVE A FORMAL TEACHER. UH.#like yeah yeah 'workshopping' but like. okay go build your own workshop group don't pay somebody jfc #(cuz it's not like most creative writing teachers know how to teach you to workshop. let's be fucking real.)#if you wanna learn how to workshop take a script class for the love of god.#ANYWAY rant over but I'm correct. the highest purpose of a writer is to be a control freak and to play god.

Tamlin and Nesta for the character bingo!

the hollow nonviolence but nevertheless heavily palpable longing and empty vastness of daisuke's heart. post

a selection of asks from my inbox rn. I have an essay question quiz due in an hour and a half so you all may peruse these questionable casting decisions at your leisure, just know all scarlett johannson asks are another point toward the bad ending tamsyn herself once mentioned in which you marry a demon

#the demon is scarlett jo--#replies #cursed casting takes #this is not even everything in my inbox btw. y'all are showering me in takes #me (has not seen a movie in theaters since 2021):#y'all: so here are five actresses #you must understand actress is an abstract category to me

can we please please please tag the k//p cast as such or with their names or like. something 🥲

#my blacklist is very full and only going to get fuller but it only works if people tag stuff #if i never find out any single fact about b//oc again it will be too soon #edit: THIS POST IS NOT ANTI-CAST THIS POST IS NOT ANTI-BIBLE PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT AS SUCH. IT IS ANTI-B//OC YOU CAN HAVE THAT ONE #and yes i mean for stuff outside of the kp sphere #i don't really think of them as the k//p cast anymore but #their names? b//oc artists? if it's an ms event then tag it as ms?#anything???#i do not want to see anything related to that company and tragically that includes the cast rn #and like for the record the stuff now is just annoying #but once that cursed show starts promoting i will HAVE to unfollow people talking about it untagged #if that's the way you run your blog that's fine just know it's not personal when i unfollow

yknow i wassss gonna gut the cinderheart reincarnation plotline for razorverse because of how clumsy and insidious the original was… but i have been playing pokemon rejuvenation and now i sorta wanna take influence from that game’s reincarnation plot. where the reincarnation is actually a curse that is detrimental to both cinders and has damaging psychological effects on everyone involved

#i mean ig the original plot had hints of that but it was less that and more ‘’omg we gotta make THIS life worth it!!! (aka not disabled)#which this wouldnt have #id totally gut the disability angle altogether tbh #but im imagining like theres legit magic going on. probably bc of the tunnels #maybe cinderpelt was the first cat to realize there was something up with the tunnels. and she accidentally cast a light spell in there #and she began to experiment a bit. and this is what drives her attention away from leafpool for a bit #i wouldnt know what EXACTLY shes doing. maybe she found it before the moonpool was found and wanted to try and create a starclan entry #for the other medics #and once the moonpool was found she tried to stop but realized she wanted to experiment more #like. can she try and contact starclan on her own? could she figure out how exactly starclan ticked?#and she gets in contact with rock who sorta takes her on as a disciple…#im thinking every cat is capable of reading starclan but it varies and cinders’s sense was very low #so she was trying to compensate for that #it distracts her from clan life and pulls her away and suddenly the bubbly cinderpelt everyone knows has just vanished #but they brush it off as the trauma from the journey #but then we get to her death- she’d been trying to create that pathway and as ive said RV!Starclan is a spiritual anomaly #where cats are supposed to reincarnate but instead they linger #creating the starclan group. but in tampering with magic- cinderpelt got locked out of the starclan cycle somehow and got cursed #the same curse as rock- every time she is slain #her body shifts and transforms and is ‘’reset’’ into a young kitten. into cinderheart #the soul of cinderpelt is trapped in there and it will stay trapped til the curse is broken. and the cycle will repeat when cinderheart dies #im thinking cinderheart reconnects with rock to look into this and shes tied in with the jayfeather plotline #and she struggles with feeling like a freak of nature who was born from tragedy #she gets added to sorrels litter and they pretend shes her bio kit but leafpool and the family knows the truth #razorverse

Laois's party would see post-Shibuya Incident Tokyo as another dungeon. Tokyo Jujutsu Tech students would see the island's dungeon as a vacation.

#if i wrote fic i would its all fleshed out but heres some notes #both groups would solve each other's problems. for itadori it'd take a week. for laios it would take countless lives.#tonal whiplash so intense you'd get physical pain #marcille et al having to cope with the fact that they are also creating the horrors every waking moment #laios & senshi just think thats perfect for a self-sustaining ecosystem until one of them either gags on a curse or wakes up not quite aliv #itadori would refuse to eat a single monster unless it was absolutely fucking necessary no other options no workarounds etc #jjk cast would have a funky good time BUT not know how to process - positive or negative - the soul lingering in the body after death #pseudo death if you will.#thats breakdown time eventually but also ''oh i can finally kill you for real'' friendly teasing. and unprecedented sparring ofc #dungeon meshi party would figure out more of how curses work exactly than even tsukumo yuki but not before so many people died #jjk crew come out of it all as tragic though bc like #they just saw a world where NO ONES negative emotions spawn curses but they werent there long enough to figure it out #bi rambles #also fushiguro was MADE to be discontent in the frog suit.#edit i cant believe i forgot: falin and rika would be BESTIES

does henry know that henricus can turn into that cat or is it a secret

thats a good question. it's a secret for like, 2 years (the reason for henri keeping this a secret is a long story LOL) but henry eventually does find out and he thinks its like the most awesome thing ever. because like, henry likes the idea of animals but he is very nervous all the time and doesnt know how to interact with them and he worries that they wont understand him. which is normally true (sad) but henricus going cat mode means that he can get used to the idea of a cat in his house. and henricus trusts henry a lot so he will tenatively accept pets.

#also dumb semi-relevant magic lore tidbit is that you cant normally cast any magic while you sleep so spell effects wear off when asleep.#so if i ever draw henricus sleeping as a cat that is not true he simply has his eyes closed and he is chilling. but he cant sleep as a cat.#the only exception to the sleep rule is henricus's insane self-inflicted curse thing hes got goin on. which sounds really awesome but it #turns out that this rule naturally exists for a reason. because your body needs to rest and recover after using magic.#my poor sap has magic-induced chronic fatigue on top of his regular chronic fatigue. sad well he'll be okay i promise #oh yeah 1 more thing. basic timeline is like. henri's childhood -> runs away at 17 and runs into henry -> lives with this guy till hes 20 #-> [other lore i have failed to elaborate on. ~ 6 months] -> [undeveloped bit: 3-4 months] -> [end of story + slight timeskip]#at least. thats what it is if i dont change it again anyway LOL #so like uh henri is with henry for 3 almost 4 years and theyre close nearly the whole time but henri only starts rlly talking during that #last year. it takes that guy so so long to open up but henry is so patient.#ANYWAY. hi lol thank u for the ask yayyyy #anis gaymer moments #oc tag

Was thinking about who would've been cast in the Dune films if they'd been made 10 years ago and came to the realization that Logan Lerman probably would have been cast as Paul

#dune #idk what to take away from this but #i just. i see it for 2011-2014 era casting #but i'm willing to hear other opinions let's open it up don't be shy #cursed observation?
