Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

#art #twisted wonderland #pokemon #poketwst #i'm trying not to pressure myself too much art-wise right now #but i would like to do more of the characters!#(especially considering this started with my insistence that malleus would have a dragapult)#gotta draw something i don't immediately hate first ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #ANYWAY enough art angst!#i'm not aiming for full teams or delving too deep into lore or anything #just one or two per character that i think fit!#i was pretty torn on leona for a while because pyroar is at once the obvious choice but also. not really?#(i did consider luxray and ultimately decided it doesn't really fit either)#but i kind of love Nasty Lionboy's Nasty Pyroar #i think there's probably some. like. ~royal tradition~ that they all bond with this one specific breeding line or whatever #and leona deliberately chose just the absolute worst one #took one look at this shitty rude pokemon and immediately went 'that one'#falena was like 'are...are you SURE' and leona cops an attitude like 'i'm choosing my OWN pokemon you're not my DAD'#as pyroar is actively attempting to eat him #actually it probably tried to eat kifaji first and that's when leona decided he liked it #me: this is just for funsies i'm not doing lore (writes a whole fanfic in the tags)

hopeless time loop. the way out isn’t to save everyone. the way out isn’t to save even one person. the way out isn’t to change anything. the way out is accepting how it happened the first time is how it always will be. that’s how you acted, that’s how they acted, that’s how you would have acted every time if you weren’t given the curse of hindsight. the way out is accepting you can’t fix the past; you can only forgive yourself for it.

#there's this game i love called little hope that plays with these ideas (though not with a time loop)#i do love time loops narratives that explore how a person is confronted with their life and their choices #when forced to live the same day over and over again #and i LOVE time loops that try to reverse mistakes made and lives lost #but to see a character put themselves through loops upon loops upon loops #trying to rectify past mistakes (especially in the case where people died) only to be confronted with the reality it isn't working #and even in a loop where they save everyone the loop just resets #because the universe is essentially saying 'no that isn't how it happened and you know that's not how it happened'#it compels me!#i feel similarly about time travel where time 'fights back'#like this idea that there is a central timeline that time does not like being diverted from #so it will try to course correct itself #you save lincoln from an assassination only for him to die in a train crash #it's a cool way to confront the idea of fate #anyway all tragedies are hopeless time loops thank you for coming to my ted talk #a shout into the void #1k #5k #10k

"you're not a burden, we all need someone to carry our corpse to its final resting place" is going to stick with me actually

#🐉#theres nothing especially profound about it. but it feels comforting to say.#we are born needing to be held and die needing to be held! its not a burden when its a choice!

The Rings of Power 2x08: Shadow and Flame

"My place is here. You know it is." "And where is mine? If not with you?"

#🥺😭 such an ominous parting #AND YET... ELENDIL YOU KNOW WHERE ALL HER STUFF IS.. You've lost your rank and were STILL apparently being freely let into her room...#There's a TvLine article from yesterday about the Narsil scene that says #“Having already confessed their love for each other Elendil can’t imagine leaving without her.”#LIKE HELLO? WAS THAT THE SCENE IN THE PRISON BEING CONFIRMED AS CONFESSION?#either way this also seemed to have heavy overtones of such especially these two lines which are LOADED #mirendil #Elendil #Miriel #tar miriel #trop #rop #trop spoilers #the rings of power #miriel x elendil #elendil x miriel #tropgifs #trop gifs #Queen Miriel #rings of power #tropedit #lotr trop #lloyd owen #cynthia addai robinson #trop 2x08 #I like the choice of having Miriel putting on her stoic Regal Demeanour again here she seems to crack a bit when looking at Narsil

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice #I just think it's really interesting #Like even looking at the Five:#Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace #While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy #Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie #Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant #Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner #(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble).#Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.”#And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking.#In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class.#This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it #Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?”#“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?”#kung fu panda

USE MOUTHWASH / DO NOTHING

#mouthwashing #anya mouthwashing #daisuke mouthwashing #swansea mouthwashing #curly mouthwashing #<— is this how character tagging works here lol #the visuals of this game are so good. the ps2 aesthetics mixed with a lot of memorable imagery #+ the way that the mechanics/structure of the game are deeply important to its narrative & themes #i.e. the use of pov switches the time jumps & the railroading—#these could have been just stylistic choices but here they are functional AND stylistic #the fact that you are railroaded into decisions…#while in other games this might feel frustrating/simplistic #here it only adds to the impending sense of dread and horror and disgust #especially when they’ve shown you an outcome and then send you back to inevitably be the cause of that outcome #the choice has already been made. it’s already been done.

Daniel Ricciardo as Judgement:

The Judgement tarot card symbolizes the arrival of absolution and the culmination of a significant undertaking, often related to past and life lessons.

Judgement indicates the cusp of rebirth.

In order to achieve that, you must look back upon your deeds and come to an honest evaluation of yourself. This leads to the awakening that signals a new way of life.

Tag list: @st-leclerc @rubywingsracing @saviour-of-lord @three-days-time @the-wall-is-my-goal @albonoooo @ch3rubd0lls

#I’m not gonna lie to u this one doesn’t feel good 😭#I was hoping to get this out b4 he got booted bc now I just feel like I’m rubbing salt in the wound 😭#sorry to the dr3 fans that will see this #I chose this card for him back in April 😭#um. basically.#I think this card is him #mainly due to his bad career choices #but ESPECIALLY bc (when I picked this card) he was reevaluating past mistakes and attempting to get back to redemption #in this case redemption is Red Bull #so here he is evaluating and coming to terms with the misstep #when I chose this I was still a big dr fan and I was hoping that the end of the card would come true #and that this would lead to vibrant rebirth and prosperity #lol #once again I’m so sorry I know this is bad timing it FEELS bad but like…. it was now or never #and he was also the only major arcana card left that I’m drawing a person for #f1 #formula 1 #f1blr #f1 fanart #f1 art #annie’s art #formula one fanart #formula 1 fanart #formulanni #dr3 #daniel ricciardo #rbr f1 #red bull racing #f1 tarot #judgement tarot

WE ARE | EP16

#we are #we are the series #we are series #tanfang #aou thanaboon #aouboom #boom tharatorn #my edits #weareedit #AOUBOOM MAIN LEADS WHEN???#i do appreciate them and the way they’ve been portraying tanfang #i know tan was a bit over the top 99% of the time #but every scene and touch felt so genuine #and i’m not gonna credit that to new #bc he wasn’t able to direct ppw in a way that didn’t make their kisses look a bit awkward #i know scenes have to look aesthetically pleasing in some way #and that’s why we keep having to deal the ‘no one would kiss with this much space for jesus between each other’ complaints #but like look at aouboom here #this is mostly them and their acting choices in my humble opinion #and don’t get me started on the pecks #ppw BARELY touched the other one’s lips when they had to do a peck kiss #like cmon the difference between ppw and aouboom pecks is insane #i’m sorry for picking on ppw but i’m a bit sad that some of their romantic scenes were a bit lackluster #especially that very last kiss which tbh i rather wouldn’t have seen bc it felt a bit awkward to me #but that may be just me #i need new to get a bit more frisky with kiss scenes when it comes to his directing #bc i feel like friskier kiss scenes only happen when the actors mostly do their thing after finding out what the director wants #(maybe i’m completely wrong about new but tkdkfdkddkdk)#and don’t get me wrong idgaf if there are kisses or not but if there’s a kiss scene you should commit instead of holding yourself back idk #and ppw definitely need a better director to help them achieve that bc jojo was definitely better at directing them

the sharp inhale raphael does when you tell him to paint you a picture cracks me up so bad. bro couldn’t wait to give his little theatrical number.

#raphael is literally that ‘he looks like he’s itching to tell me a riddle’ meme #he’s so annoying. im obsessed with him #yes i have the better raphael outfits mod. he’s not allowed to speak to me while wearing that fugly default outfit of his #i have a love hate relationship with it. on one hand it gives me the ick but on the other he still somehow looks so damn fine in it #pisses me off 😒#especially because i just KNOW he’d be the biggest judgmental asshole when it comes to tav/durge’s fashion choices #like girl… you have ZERO room to talk wearing that fugly fit #looking like lord farquaad from shrek 😒#anyways this stupid mod makes me insaaaaaaaane he looks so good i need to be put in a straight jacket before i start gnawing at his ankles #ignore my party of edgelords. no one is safe from the drow black dye #bg3 #raphael

Act 3 (But why did they look so...?)

We finally got to the comic that actually made me think about this AU in the first place. After I was mulling around the idea of Loop looking like Siffrin the whole time, I realised that the conversation of "who or what do you think I am?" doesn't apply anymore. But you know what would?

The question of why Loop is even here in the first place. Because while it's nice to have another you around to help you out of the loops, isn't it weird that they're even here? Who sent them?

... and what was with their response?

#In Stars and Time #ISAT #ISAT Spoilers #ISAT Siffrin #ISAT Loop #ISAT AU #two coins same side au #comic #illustration #digital art #artists on tumblr #fan art #the creativity process #TCSS AU #id in alt #cw eye contact #tw eye contact #if it was actually in-game i'd imagine siffrin gets the One chance to answer and thats it #but i wanted to show some of the few options siffrin could potentially say without showing ALL of them #basically the choices still follow beat for beat as the who/ what am i convo (except for the ghost answer which wouldn't be there)#though loop's answers are different (please ask me about em its too long to put in the tags)#but yeah. loop would Not take the correct answer well because. yknow #they did Technically make that wish huh. and i guess in that sense they Did want to help siffrin #but that doesn't take the hurt of thousands of loops away now does it?#especially when you're helping a copy of yourself escape. loop canonically does not take it well after all.#EDIT: accidentally bungled the pronouns for the change god!! it's been fixed now!!

the lovers, reversed

(aka I'm still freaking out about Jou)

#art #ride kamens #i am about to go off on wild speculation so excuse me in advance #I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE EVENT YET so this could all be just absolutely nothing but i gotta get it out #(still debating if i wanna save the event for after i finish part 2 or not...)#this is my last chance to throw wacky theories out there okay #i've just. been thinking a lot about the riders the characters are based on and how they relate to their different classes #like the choices seemed SO random when they were first revealed but they do mostly make sense when you think about it #to the point where i actually do feel like i should've been able to call ooo for ambition. damnit.#however i did always feel like jou was a bit of an outlier and now i'm wondering if that's gonna be like...a thing #idk man just the fact that he's gonna have a special double card and bond henshin with taiten is nuts to me #especially since we're clearly on the verge of SOMETHING happening with soun and uryuu #what does it mean. WHAT DOES IT MEAN #what does this mean for the future of tower emblem #and it hasn't escaped me that there is no class associated with evolution (YET)#and thinking about who jou is based on i'm just like #(waves hands) YOU KNOW?!#(plus i'm still like WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RUI AND HAYATE but that's a separate thing)#i'm gonna try and take my time and not rush through part 2 but i also am SO impatient #i gotta knooooow #given the way my predictions tend to go though i'm either 100% accidentally right about the dumbest thing #or jou is fine but leon fucking dies or something and i'm gonna throw my phone into a lake #HAVE FUN GUYS I GUESS

“It’s not like you, getting cold feet, my dear.” Dean closed in behind her, catching her hand in his. “So what if some innocents die? The Mojave will become much safer if those tin cans are eradicated.” He pulled her along into the start of a dance all the while ignoring her glare. “Mr. House is a big shot, but play your cards right… and you might just be surprised by what you can achieve.”

An amazing piece by @pirate-cashoo of Dean Domino and my OC Ash; who is not yet fully won over by his charms, despite him trying his utmost to wrap her around his little finger.

Thank you so much again; the whole thing is so gorgeous and I just love it!

#he's a bit of a manipulative dick after all; making use of her recently turning into a ghoul through the DM events #especially when she has doubts about Mr. House wanting to destroy the BOS; a choice that haunts her for the rest of her life #old dean's there to make sure she makes the right choices #and then years later ash ends up in boston; far away from him and meets up with the FO version of TBB oops #hdahsdhsa i can talk about these forever #;ash #fallout #ghouls #art

the master works discourse on twitter is killing me. none of these bitches understood the game or its characters AT ALL

#'they should have kept the festival instead of making it so no one knew who link was' HE DID NOT WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED.#his whole thing is that he felt so much pressure because of the attention he got precalamity that he WENT MUTE.#WHY WOULD HE WANT A GIANT FESTIVAL IN HIS HONOR REMINDING HIM OF THE THING THAT LOWKEY RUINED HIS LIFE #LIKE???? okay guys i get it the concept art was pretty. but in terms of characterization it makes NO SENSE FOR HIM #he has been the center of attention since he was 12 years old and he EXPLICITLY DOES NOT LIKE IT #like do you honestly think that the low profile he keeps in totk was not a deliberate choice?? especially when EVERYONE knows zelda???#if he wanted attention he could have had attention. he CHOSE to be 'that guy who's always with the princess' instead of the hero of hyrule #basically his entire adolescence was lost to the calamity. he was not allowed to have an identity outside of his duty to the kingdom #OF COURSE when given the opportunity he's going to choose to build an identity completely divorced from that duty.#he did it. hes done. he doesnt HAVE to be that person anymore. no one recognizes him as the hero and that means that he gets to be HIMSELF #instead. UGHHHH ANYWAYS #sorry i cant start arguments with grown men on twitter so i have to vaguepost here instead #this is self-control. i am Controlling Myself.#personal

#yes ik theyre both very competent and all but. they are also dumbasses. especially when theyre in the same room #kid flash #robin #young justice robin #wally west #dick grayson #birdflash #i was actually conflicted when choosing who to be 'dumb' and who to be 'dumber'#because dick is technically smarter but i think wally has more common sense #remember that time he was trying to tell him not to PUT AN UNKNOWN RED LIQUID THAT THEY KNEW COULD BE BLOOD INTO HIS MOUTH #like dick really there were so many other ways to test that #seriously questioning my end choice now
