Driving Skill

[technovillain]

i come from the universe where everything is the same except disney heroines get like an ounce of their fathers' obviously dominant genes and their clothes are like 80% more historically accurate. it's beautiful here.

i will never understand why more people in their 80s don't commit felonies. you reach that age and surely there's something illegal you always wanted to do but didn't bc Consequences

dammit, GO FORTH GRANNIES!!! rob an armored car! hold up that bank! tunnel your way into fort knox! what are they gonna do, sentence you to 20 years? good fuckin luck with that

dp x dc prompt/mini blurb thing:

Somewhere along the line, stealing the Batmobile had seemed like the best option.

Elle would stand by that - admittedly short-sighted and kind of panic induced - logic. It was a vehicle that no one would try and stop. It was fast. The keys were in the ignition. Easiest car theft of her life. Or, well, unlife. Whatever. Still the easiest.

She may have forgotten that Superman could fly as fast as the stupid tank of a car could go. Or that Gotham had other vigilantes, that had bikes that were way more maneuverable, or that Billy was a big baby about car chases.

“WATCH THE ROAD!”

“YOU WATCH THE ROAD I’M DRIVING HERE!”

I'll always be glad I learned from an early age how to conceptualize and draw fat bodies motivated by my adoration for a fat character. because I swear to god half of all artists draw fat characters like this if they draw them at all

Protector

Runaan can protect people too, just like Rayla can, but his methods are much darker.

The irony that Rayla thanks Runaan for protecting Callum while we know he's planning to shoot Callum to death is only bested by the knowledge that this act of precision violence would, in fact, be protecting Callum from his worst nightmare - and protecting everyone else around him from Aaravos' dark magic puppetry.

It would've worked. But Ezran would never have forgiven it.

reread into the pit lol (this was funnier in my head)

Kinda based off this scene

[orcelito]

everyone always talks about That One panel of Trigun: Multiple Bullets, but i havent seen anyone talk about how fucking BATSHIT INSANE the surrounding fight is

like

Vash & Wolfwood fighting back-to-back, both using the punisher as a shield

(the rest under a readmore bc this accidentally got LONG...)

Vash seeing the shots coming from behind & purposefully not moving bc he knows if he does, Wolfwood would get hit

Wolfwood getting injured too, but not moving from Vash's back. the way he's stanced, it looks Protective. he's doing what he can to keep Vash out of the direct line of fire.

even when he's getting shot up for it, he Doesn't Move. (this also seems to be the moment he got hurt, which leads into the panel later)

& throughout this whole scene, we are only seeing Wolfwood's reactions.

until the girls give them an opening, and they burst out with THIS:

Wolfwood injured, so he can't properly aim the punisher... and he gets around this by sticking one of the leather straps in his Mouth

and then we FINALLY get to see Vash's face again as he grabs the punisher (with a "GAN" sound effect, so he fuckin SLAPPED that metal hand on the punisher).

Wolfwood trusts him enough to just do what he says in the thick of battle, so we FINALLY get to the iconic panel:

which brings us to the aboslute insanity of what Vash is actually Doing.

"DON DON" -> two shots fired for two missiles launched. he literally manages to TURN THEM AROUND MID-FLIGHT (interesting to note that they seem to have internal propulsion, rather than simply being fired by Wolfwood. how many of these does Wolfwood have? they seem heavy.)

he manages to avert the third missile from hitting the dude directly, and instead makes it land Behind him. then the other two missiles, he rests his arm on Wolfwood's shoulders to hit them and direct them behind the other two enemies

Boom.

killing no-one, but showing an INSANE level of fine control AND teamwork.

and in the end, Wolfwood's arm is in a cast, Vash seems either unhurt or hurt but unbothered by it (typical Vash). And Life Goes On.

(forgot to mention before, but all panels are from @trigun-manga-overhaul! thank u for the beautiful pages)

Man, we really gotta leave Gehrman alone once and for all because what do you MEAN that you don’t absolutely create art of your favs….paint portraits of your beloveds that you have deep feels over with driving passion down to the last MINUTE AND SUBTLE DETAIL….recreating and drawing them with every little mark and blemish and shade of their skin and layer of their hair and curve of their mouth and glint of their eyes and all of their beautiful, perfect flaws…..all of their quirks and traits that you’ve committed to memory.

What do you MEAN you don’t look upon your creations with shame and terror and love when you see the parts you messed up on and the parts you got TOO right on and you become aware of the depth of your own madness and obsession….causing you to consider abandoning the work all together…

What do you MEAN you don’t imagine beautiful clothes for your favs and draw them in all of it with warmth and tender care and still end up feeling unsatisfied with the final product because you don’t think any recreation you could ever produce will ever match the perfection and majesty of the original being.

We do this with our favorite characters. Now imagine doing it with a real life companion you loved deeply and LOST.

Kurokumo Heathcliff not having an envy skill... I dont think that's even supposed to be tied to the house at all when multicrack had one and also didnt want to go back. Most importantly he might be less horrifically depressed than that id but the identity story is still about him feeling worthless compared to people with a set goal. That pride skill that substituted envy is completely tied to his role in the syndicate and not how he's doing as a person. Once again Catherine's theory that she was holding him back is only half right- he's not tied to the manor anymore, but he has been deprived of his source of motivation that made everything actually worth it.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Basically came across a post that said "Imagine you're in a car with your brother and you keep telling him "slow down, you're going too fast" and he insists "I've got it under control!" And then he hits someone and you get out of the car and find out it's your sister. Your brother goes crazy from guilt and starts running over people left and right until you have to kill him to make sure no one else dies. Then years later he comes back to life and his boyfriend reveals oh guess what fuckhead. The reason he had to drive recklessly everywhere? Because he gave his legs to you in a secret operation you didnt know about. That's mdzs from Jiang Cheng's pov."

How wrong can someone be?? 💀😭😭. And they got such an enormous amount of notes too 🫠. Mdzs fandom is doomed.

This is such a ridiculously bad post, but some of my favorite highlights:

1) wtf does a losing your legs have to do with driving cars?

2) how is Wei Wuxian driving this car without legs????

3) how does no one notice that Wei Wuxian is driving without legs????? Does he just never get out the car?

4) better question: how does Jiang Cheng go from legless to having legs and Wei Wuxian goes from having legs to legless, but he “doesn’t know” there was an operation and that maybe Wei Wuxian was the donor? Is he some kind of idiot to op?

5) Jiang Yanli wasn’t killed by Wei Wuxian or his corpse army. She was killed by a “righteous” cultivator who then tried to victim blame her and Wei Wuxian by saying that “well she jumped in my way, if wwx had just died peacefully instead of defending himself against my shixiong, this wouldn’t have happened.” So a better analogy would be that someone shoots up Wei Wuxian’s car, kills Jiang Yanli, and everyone blames Wei Wuxian for it because “well if you didn’t have a car, we wouldn’t have had to shoot you.”

6) …are cars some super unknown technology that Wei Wuxian had to invent because no one knew they were a possibility in this convoluted au, or does op imagine that disabled people get free cars to drive around?

Extra: I love how this analogy just completely neglects the fact that Jiang Cheng was planning on killing Wei Wuxian to steal his “car” before Jiang Yanli died, but it implies that he was always in the car when it was being driven, so methinks that makes him an accomplice, idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

Imagine the boys getting cursed to bear witness to “some of the most negatively impactful things in their lives” and they’re terrified, thinking it’ll be stuff like the invasion or Shredder or something-

Only to be met with multiple scenarios of their family. Saying offhand, but hurtful things. Doing hurtful things. Lots of scenarios that were inconsequential to everyone but the one most affected.

And they’re all scrambling, desperate to make sure the others don’t look too deep into it haha it doesn’t really bother them- but they all know the truth. Because they’re all in the same position here. It wasn’t on purpose, and they all know it wasn’t on purpose, but it still hurts.

It’s almost a relief, that they’re going through it all together. That they can apologize for mistakes, and accept that they’ve held onto hurt too long when they could have dealt with it sooner.

And that’s how they break the curse, reversing it into something different, as they’re told that before it leaves them for good they’ll bear witness to the most positively impactful things in their lives. And now they think they’ll see some of their best victories, some of their grandest adventures-

The scenes they see then are of the same cloth as their negative ones. Simple scenes, ones that most wouldn’t remember. Times where someone managed to make someone else smile, times where they were just so content to exist by the other’s side, times where they were just happy being there with their brothers, their family.

It’s the little things that go the farthest, because that’s what you experience the most in life. And they’ll mess up again, of course. Things happen, and they’ll never really know how their actions and words will be taken. But through the good and the bad, they’re family.

Besides - turns out, there’s a lot more good.
