Whumpee being manhandled into restraints:

Shoved up against a wall and handcuffed.

Pinned to the floor and handcuffed.

Fighting for each limb as they’re forced down on a table, slowly secured by leather restraints.

Overwhelmed by multiple Whumpers, each one working to subdue them.

Yanked back by their hair so a collar or rope can easily be fitted around their throat.

Pinned while in combat (double points for being caged against a wall or trapped in a chokehold)

Improvised restraints like belts, sheets, or clothing when Whumpee won’t be still enough to retrieve proper ones.

Manhandled in a hospital bed, held down for the duration of a procedure.

Injected with a chemical restraint, a sedative or numbing agent that quickly bleeds the fight out of them.

Struggling as a muzzle is wrestled over their head and secured.

A blow to the head that knocks Whumpee out or makes them too dizzy to fight anyone off.

GET TO KNOW YOUR TWST OCs (and their relationships)

(Or how I make up excuses to blabber about my OC lol. Most of the "who" questions are aimed at the twst cast, but feel free to include other twst OCs as well!)

Name: What does your twst OC's name mean? Why does Rook/Floyd call them [insert nickname]?

Inspiration: Is your twst OC inspired by any villains? Concepts? Anything Disney-related?

Age/Birthday: How old is your twst OC? When is their birthday? Whose birthday (among the cast) is closest to your twst OC's? Does the horoscope lie or do they get along well?

Dorm: Which dorm is your twst OC in? Why? Which qualities they have make them suitable for said dorm? Do they have a roommate and how is their relationship?

Class: Who is your twst OC's classmate(s)? How would you describe their relationship? Did they have different classmates in previous year and did they get along?

Height: How tall is your twst OC? Are they conscious about their height? Are they close to someone with similar leg length?

Hair/Eye color: What are your twst OC's hair and eye colors? Who got the closest/opposite palette to them?

Homeland: Where is your twst OC from? Do they know anyone from the same hometown prior to NRC?

Club: Which club does your twst OC join and why? Is there anything memorable about the club fair day/their first day at the club? Which clubmate is their favorite?

Subject: What is your twst OC's best subject? Worst? Do they study with another whom excels at the same subject? Do they ask anyone for help with the subject they are bad at?

Hobby: What are your twst OC's hobbies? Who among the cast will they possibly ask to join in their pastime?

Pet peeves: What are your twst OC's pet peeves and which one in the cast accidentally (or not) commit the "crimes"? How will your twst OC deal with that person?

Food: What is your twst OC's favorite and least favorite food? Why (optional)? Is there anyone they can share their favorite food? Is there anyone they can count on to take over the food they dislike?

Talent: What is your twst OC's talent(s) and who can properly appreciate that?

Unique Magic/Signature spell: What is your twst OC's UM (if applicable)? What can they do? What is the incantation? Is there any weaknesses/loopholes and who can exploit those?

Quote: Give me something your twst OC will say. Either something they always say or something iconic they said. Something that helps solve the problems or something that is a catalyst to even more issues.

(Ok I'm kinda running out of ideas here) Personality: Give me 3 adjectives to describe your twst OC. Or an essay. Whichever works. Whose personality among the cast is closest to your twst OC and do they get along?

Backstory: Tell me anything about your twst OC's backstory. Their childhood, their parents, their siblings etc. Does their backstory affect how they are as a character now and how they interact with the cast?

Pick only one: Let your twst OC pick only one and explain the reasons: only one favorite from each dorm, only one favorite housewarden/vice housewarden, only one favorite first/second/third year etc.

(For my beloved yume shippers) Partner: Who do you ship your twst OC with? Are they in a relationship? If yes, how did it start/end? If no, why?

Thinking about... low stake Fenton Family headcanons. Those kind of things that have no wider world-context when it comes to fic ideas but really speak to their family dynamic.

Like, one of my favourites is that Danny doesn't avoid swearing because it's a kid's show from 2004; he avoids swearing because when he and Jazz were little, Maddie and Jack caught them repeating what what they'd heard from the lab. So they promised their children that if they could make it the next decade or so, until they got their drivers licenses, without swearing in front of them, Maddie and Jack would buy Jazz and Danny each their own car! They assumed the kids would forget before they had to follow through, but Jazz did not. And once she was sixteen, she traded the inability to swear for a car.

Danny can fly. He doesn't technically need to get his driver's license. But by this point he's committed, and won't swear at all - he doesn't want to risk slipping up in front of his parents, and losing his chance at a car!

Another one I really love is that up until he was about ten, Danny spent most of his time at the public pool. Maddie had him and Jazz in baby swim lessons, but Danny loved the water, so she kept him in it. And Danny was an amazing swimmer - he was incredibly fast and by the time he was seven, could dive well enough that there was barely a splash when he hit the water. Danny thrived in the water, and with some guidance, absolutely could have become an olympic level swimmer.

Unfortunately, when he was 10 or so, he mentioned to his parents that the chlorine in the pool hurt his eyes so Jack tried to replace the pool filter with an ecto-based one, which went very badly. And the family was banned from the public pool. They set up a blow-up pool in the backyard for Danny during the summer, but it wasn't the same.

Fortunately, he turned 14 and gained the ability to fly, so he doesn't miss it too much anymore, but Jack does still feel bad.

And of course, the last quality one - none of the Fenton family can cook. Maddie and Jack can bake extremely well, but baking and cooking are different. They like the experiment too much with their cooking, and even without ectoplasm, it usually leaves their food inedible. Jazz can make simple things, like macaroni, but whenever she's tried something more complicated it hasn't gone to plan. She's too much of a perfectionist to risk that.

Danny, meanwhile, has burned soup before and will burn it again. But he's still eaten it. Sam and Tucker have joked about how Danny's tastebuds must've died in the portal too, because there's no way a normal person would eat the kind of things he does, but he's always been like that! He's far too ready to eat almost anything.

It was particularly stressful for his family when Danny was a baby, because it seemed like for the first four years of his life, his sole goal was to eat every single battery he could find.

Aang Antis be like nice characters = boring characters 🙄

aang antis be like:

bald = white guy

nice = simp

give advice and quote your cultural leaders = religious fascist

have kids with the only person you’ve ever loved = misogynist who think women are breeding machines

vegetarian = vegan dictator

pacifist = weak crybaby

play with your pet = 12 going on 8 year old

hate another culture’s food after you willingly try it = racist

genocide survivor = should impregnate every woman who has a pulse (note contradiction to 4 above)

favor only kid who takes an interest in your dead culture = abusive colorist parent who hits his other kids

yeah they have a lot of thoughts anon. a lot

Handing out a pamphlet to any mangahood fans giving the 2003 anime a shot:

Ed and Al (and Hohenheim) are not Xerxian. In fact there is no Xerxes. Don't interpret these characters through that lens. Similarly, Xing has no relevance here (it's a single line in a discussion of Amestrian geopolitics, and that's it)

Ed does not metaphysically supply Al's body with energy and nutrients. That's not how the Gate works here

Alchemy itself is handled differently from the manga and Brotherhood

This version of the story will not coddle or spoonfeed you. You will have to deal with complex themes and upsetting scenes, and you will have to pay attention to what's going on in order to understand and interpret the story and characters

In fact, if you're so inclined, repeat watches will absolutely reveal new layers to the pathos, mysteries, and themes presented, and answer questions you will still have after your first watch

I am begging you not to take everything at face value. The characters are not treated as infallible encyclopedias nor are they dispensers of morality lessons. They are treated like people. In that they are flawed, they are not omniscient therefore they do not have Complete Objective Knowledge over their own lives and the world, and the world/other characters will contradict and challenge them regularly

To put a finer point on the above: Don't take Ed and Al's perspectives as gospel. They are not the arbiters of righteousness who shine the light of Goodness and Reason onto the rest of the cast, they are orphaned teens scraping by in world that, by its nature, looms larger than themselves

Romance is not a big element here. You will not be eating well from the Edwin and Royai troughs this go-around

In mangahood Scar was right in killing state alchemists, but prepare yourself for: Scar was right in killing state alchemists, AND he never relents in being anti-military, AND he escalates that fight to magnificent proportions. Your fears about the "scary racialized radical who doesn't reform to your side nor assuages your guilt for the gains of imperialism you enjoy" are made real in 03

No doubt you've already heard that homunculi work differently in the 2003 anime. But to emphasize one of those major differences: the homunculi are not split aspects of one guy. They are all separate, unrelated, individuals

The characters shared between mangahood and the 2003 anime are, ultimately, not the same characters. Character design and some basal core traits link them to the manga, but their backstories, choices, character growth, and even their perspectives end up completely different from the source material

the zine’s officially out, so I can post my contribution for the @extraordinaryzine :D!

my piece is an interpretation of the caverns on Iron Island 🏝️ so I wanted to incorporate more of the water surrounding it by creating a sea cave to have light spill inside (akin to the modra špilja/blue grotto)

the focus of the zine was on the daily lives of trainers and their pokemon, so Riley uses a spot inside the caverns like this to meditate with his team, although any new Riolu he trains can’t resist wanting to jump into the water to play υ´˶ ･ﻌ･ ˶`υﾉ”

this piece alongside a ton of amazing artists can be found free to download digitally here! (and lastly some closeups bc I liked getting all the little deets down)

STRAY KIDS AS SKATE RATS

— 18+ minors dni —

DISCLAIMER: this is purely me being delulu so pls dont take it that srs<333 also blame the superboard mv…

WARNINGS: toxic behavior, toxic relationships

what’s a skate rat?

bang chan → skate rat bang chan is a literal demon in the worst (best) ways possible. not only is he hotter than hell, damn good at skating and one of the most painfully charming guys you’ll meet. he's so popular that he’ll never have the time for you

leeknow → ever been completely ignored and liked it? no? better start learning! he’s that skate rat that scoffs anytime you show up and skates off whenever you try to talk to him. but at the same time he loves scaring off anyone who tries flirting with you and will even go as far as to tell possible love interests that you're his, only to never ever give a crumbst of attention to you. he’s always playing games and he never. loses.

changbin → the show off, there's nothing he loves more than an audience, it doesn't matter if they openly swoon or not, as long as all eyes are on him...that being said everything has to be a spectacle with him,, including if you somehow get him into a relationship whether it be public fights or gross pda it’s always a bit of a show. will not kill bugs for u btw,,,

hyunjin → skating to him isn’t some pastime or even a hobby, it’s an art. and hyunjin has perfected it. he’s the one everyone wants and no one ever gets,, definitely tiktok famous just for being hot, a skate rat and making nice art. he has a gaggle of desperate people following him around and will make your life living hell if he ever even spares you a second glance.

han → this is the hot loser skate rat, his success rate at spitting game is 50/50 cus he’s either smooth enough to score or just completely flames out. he’s the type of forever be caught up on his ex and if said ex ever comes calling he’ll drop you so fast you’ll get whiplash.

felix → lowkey the blueprint for skate rat innie, he’s always wearing expensive jewelry… the man skates wearing a damn rollie. he’s nice enough and entertains a decent amount of the attention he gets but he’s not looking to commit </3 he says and then jumps into a relationship for a year or two.

seungmin → this is the skate rat who everyone thinks is a genuine Nice Guy, he jokes, he's sweet and he'll even take you on a date...you and the twenty others on his roster because why should he only waste his attention on one person? and even with his Nice Guy reputation, he’s still notorious for being a bit of a tease (and does have an occasional of a mean streak)

i.n → ah the classic drip or drown hype beast skate rat, always wearing supreme or some other overpriced skate brand that you “shouldn’t be wearing bc you don’t skate” and skating in shoes that are even more overpriced,, everyone wants him and not only does he know it, he thrives off of it,, even tho he pretends he’s so nonchalant.

[minty-leafy]

i would like to suggest these descendants casts/characters and these musical numbers:

joshua colley and "dead girl walking" from heathers

uliana, hook, and morgie and "candy store" from heathers as heather chandler, heather mcnamara, and heather duke respectively (uliana telling morgie to "shut up!" would just be so canonically on point)

peder lindell/morgie and "waving through a window" from dear evan hansen

ruby rose turner/bridget and "popular" from wicked

kylie cantrall and "say my name" from beetlejuice

chloe and red and "girl scout" from beetlejuice as the girl scout and lydia

ella and chloe and "apex predator" from mean girls as janis and cady (or joshua colley and morgan dudley, just feel like they would slay the vocals)

ella and "dead mom" from beetlejuice just because

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

idk how much of a hot take this is but i don’t think mirage is about AI or technology at all—its so much more meaningful than that.

do you remember in the behind the scenes vlog of zhou shen’s thank you concert, in one of the first scenes and the first lines, zhou shen says, “it’s the most obvious in this shot—the moment the concert ends, you’re alone again… it makes you feel even more so like it was all a dream.”

the point of mirage is that nothing lasts. 生命��尝不是 从乌有 到乌有—“life is from nothing to nothing.” no matter what you do, you enter the world with nothing and leave with nothing, so how can any of it be real? so much of our current lives is dominated by societal constructs, things that aren’t actually physically real but we as a society collectively decided to perceive as real (世界如何虚构 “this is how the world is made up”). so what actually is reality?

in this song, zhou shen acknowledges the futile quality inherent in life (“open one door and there are a thousand more”) but says 倘若感动时候 依然有 泪在流, says 这刹那的感受 却足够 算不朽. even if its all a passing dream, the emotions are still real. these moments are enough.

“we spend our whole lives in this mirage, holding nothing to our name—still, we willingly give ourselves to this dream.”
