☀️ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! 🌙

This is my gift to myself :) I drew my favorite guys ever.

For a while I've been itching to draw the wedding outfits from this post again. I made them up on the fly as I was drawing, but I actually really like how they ended up turning out. They're super cute!! (though, yet again, you can't see almost any part of Dedede's outfit... 💔)

But then I couldn't get it out of my head to make a companion piece for it, with their mirror versions. And so. I did. What they have going on is a little bit messy, though...

Marriage or divorce!! Take your pick.

[acoraxia]

remember that scene where Silco yells at Jinx for the enforcers being dead and the building blowing up and Jinx gives him the gemstone then hugs him and he smiles because he realizes she’s safe and now they have an advantage?

!!~TPOT 16 YAPPING~!!

Had more thoughts about why I’m so insane about this ep and why I’m so glad the silly guy got a W for once

It’s cause of all the parallels and how the message really hits close to home for me and aughhh

Pen and Pencil parallel with handling the loss of those close to you with this being especially devastating and ironic considering Pencil is technically responsible for Pen struggling with his loss as she put down the straw that broke the camel’s back (Eraser elim and also reality falling apart methinks) AND the fucking reference to the last episode in TPOT 16 as seen here:

Match and Pen parallel shown with that line transition a and coming into their own characters when forced to be separated with a group that’s formed so much of your personality that you’ve been a part of for so long (IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE COUNTERPARTS IN THEIR CLIQUES RAHHHHH)

Pen and Liy foiling with their problems with anger specifically but paralleling with the fact they both struggle with it and also their absurd strength when it controls them (I really hope neither of them are taken away when it’s too late I’m really digging their dynamic!!!)

ALSO TPOT 15 CONSEQUENCES MENTIONED

ALSO HE WAS SO EXPRESSIVE THIS EPISODE VA-ING,ANIMATION AND ALL AND I NEED THE SONG THAT PLAYS DURING PEN AND LIY’S CONVO STAT IT WAS SO NICEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!

LOOK AT HIMMMMMMM!!!

GOD NOT EVEN FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE PERSPECTIVE FUCKERY DURING THE VENTING SCENE IT WAS SO DYNAMIC !!!! OH MY BOY PEN!!!!

BIG fucking fan of this episode while it doesnt beat the last it was really fucking good and could compete with it honestly Pen my beloved I’m joyous as FUCK you FINALLY got the development episode I’ve been banking on you having since BFB 1’s team splitting scene !!!!!!

[xehanortsreport]

the subtle resignation in his expression at even bouncing with the context of his final words kinda destroying me ngl

[thedragoncorner]

Finished The Ancient Gods Part 2

SPOILERS

...

Why.

WHY

WHY CAN'T THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY DESERVE IT EVER GET THE HAPPY ENDING

THEY DID THEIR JOB

SAVED THE WORLD FOR LIKE THE 10th TIME

KILLED

GOD

AND HE GETS PUT INTO A BOX

SARCOPHAGUS

WHATEVER THE HECK IT'S CALLED

WHY

Slayer didn't get to say anything to the Intern or Valen, or even process the damn fact that he just killed his Creator/The Dark Lord because right after the final battle he passed out and then got put into the BOX

AGAIN

My.. my pookie

Doom Slayer, more than anyone, deserves the peace he's fought so hard for.

In the end, Slayer wins. The Dark Lord, his Creator, is put to an end. Hell is silenced, and the war is finally over, after so very long.

But peace was not what he received. They seal him away, again, not as a man who fought, bled, and grieved, but as a symbol. A weapon to be put back on its shelf now that it's no longer needed.

The Slayer deserves to go back to the Fortress of Doom, be the massive nerd he is, and enjoy the world that he saved (many times) and be free from the gods, the demons, and the rage. Let him finally just be happy and free.

There is no peace within that tomb. No closure. Only silence and the weight of a thousand battles left behind.

The Doom Slayer saved the world.

And still, he is not free.

For once again, he was denied the chance to return to it.

Entombed once again, not out of punishment, but preservation. A symbol locked away.

It is THE final cruelty: after all the blood, all the sacrifice, the Slayer is stripped of his humanity once more.

A long time ago, he was a grieving marine. A human. But somewhere along the way, that man was lost, not completely, but buried far beneath the armor, the rage, and the myth. And now, with the world saved, there is no place for him in it.

He never asked to be a god. He was just a man who lost everything and chose to fight.

And now, even in peace, they won't let him rest. They revere him as a legend but forget he was ever human at all...

We don't really know what happened at the end of TAG2. All the things I said stand, but the only choice may have been to seal him away... Or maybe the Father betrayed him? He fainted at the end and was put into the Luminarium; no one except the ones who put him there can get to him. I have so many questions.

And I am so sad.

[crusaderguy]

The urge to hit one of these.

I know that Master Chief isn't sitting on a throne but I don't want to use the image from the show because helmets are cool and characters who never show their faces are one of my favorite types of characters.

[abovedivinity]

Thinking about how Ewing is the one who wrote the 'I am not a man, I am the story of Doom' and thinking about this and thinking about my headcanon that Victor does not like to be called king

Just thinking a ton

[heireign]

this is her about the velaryon boys

King in Black: A Marvel Epic of Darkness and Redemption

Marvel’s King in Black event, crafted by writer Donny Cates and artist Ryan Stegman, is more than a cosmic clash—it’s a layered story about fear, hope, and the redemptive journey of Eddie Brock, also known as Venom. The saga follows the invasion of Earth by Knull, the God of the Void and creator of the symbiotes, as he unleashes a reign of darkness that tests Earth’s heroes to their limits. But at its heart, King in Black is a story of sacrifice, legacy, and the ultimate struggle between light and darkness.

Knull’s Origins: A God of Primordial Darkness

The series begins with an exploration of Knull’s origins, positioning him as one of the Marvel Universe’s oldest entities. Before the universe even took shape, Knull existed in a vast nothingness. When the Celestials created the first stars, introducing light into the void, Knull was cast out. Enraged, he forged the All-Black Necrosword, a dark weapon that would become one of the most feared artifacts in Marvel. Knull’s subsequent conquest against creation is not just motivated by revenge but by a profound hatred for life and light.

To expand his influence, Knull created an army of symbiotes, sentient beings who could bond with hosts and enact his will across the cosmos. Over time, however, these symbiotes rebelled, breaking free from his control and imprisoning him on their homeworld. This loss marks Knull as a figure of resentment, eager to reclaim his “children” and extinguish all light once and for all. This cosmic vendetta sets the stage for Knull’s descent upon Earth, which he views not only as a battleground but as the final frontier in his crusade.

A Dark Invasion: Knull’s Arrival on Earth

Knull’s arrival on Earth isn’t just an invasion—it’s a force of nature. Marvel sets the stakes early by showing just how easily Knull can manipulate symbiotes to overpower Earth’s strongest defenders. The sheer power of Knull’s forces, including his terrifying symbiote dragons, plunges the world into darkness, creating an apocalyptic atmosphere rarely seen in Marvel’s crossovers.

In a devastating display of his strength, Knull quickly dismantles Earth’s primary defense lines. He dispatches major heroes with ease, including Thor, Iron Man, and the Avengers, and in one of the event’s most shocking moments, he confronts the Sentry, a character known for near-godlike strength. Knull’s brutal victory over the Sentry, mirroring the Sentry’s own past takedown of Carnage, is a moment of horror for readers and heroes alike. By tearing apart one of Marvel’s most powerful heroes, Knull’s power and cruelty are established, sending a clear message: this is a villain like no other.

Eddie Brock’s Journey: The Redemption of Venom

One of the series’ core narratives is Eddie Brock’s journey from an embattled anti-hero to a figure of cosmic significance. Throughout King in Black, Eddie faces Knull not only as a hero fighting for Earth but as a man contending with his past. Eddie’s relationship with his symbiote, once defined by anger and vengeance, has transformed over the years, evolving into a powerful partnership. But Knull’s arrival forces Eddie to confront his lingering insecurities and fears—especially when the Venom symbiote is forcibly ripped from him, leaving him vulnerable.

As Eddie grapples with his role, he also worries about protecting his son, Dylan. In earlier arcs, Dylan was revealed to have unique abilities that allow him to resist Knull’s control. This power places immense pressure on Dylan, who is thrust into a critical role in the fight against Knull. His father’s encouragement, combined with his own resilience, makes Dylan a symbol of hope amid the darkness. But Eddie’s mortal injury adds a layer of tragedy and urgency to the story, pushing Dylan to step up in ways he never expected.

A Cosmic Rebirth: Eddie as the New King in Black

Eddie’s death is a defining moment in King in Black. In a final act of heroism, he attempts to sever Knull’s connection to the symbiote hive but is left mortally wounded, seemingly sacrificing himself. Yet Eddie’s journey doesn’t end with his death; instead, it opens up a new path. Through the Hive, Eddie discovers he can still access the symbiotes’ collective consciousness. This metaphysical journey brings Eddie face-to-face with the powers Knull once held, transforming him into the new King in Black.

Eddie’s resurrection as the King in Black is more than a power upgrade—it’s a fundamental shift in his character. Now, Eddie wields the powers Knull once controlled, including dominion over the symbiotes. This transformation grants him a position of cosmic importance and challenges him to wield his powers responsibly. Eddie’s ascension symbolizes not only his personal redemption but also the redemption of the symbiote race, which he now commands as a force for good.

The Final Battle: Light Versus Darkness

The climactic battle between Eddie and Knull is as much a thematic showdown as it is a physical fight. To counter Knull’s void-born darkness, Eddie taps into the Enigma Force, also known as the “God of Light,” which has been seeking a host capable of wielding its powers. This force, the ultimate antithesis to Knull, allows Eddie to stand as a beacon of hope. In this moment, Eddie’s journey from darkness to light reaches its peak, as he channels the Enigma Force to deliver a final blow to Knull, ending his reign and freeing Earth from his shadow.

Eddie’s victory not only liberates humanity but redefines the legacy of symbiotes. No longer bound to Knull’s dark influence, they are free to explore their own identities, and Eddie, as their new king, embodies a protective rather than oppressive leadership. The battle between Eddie and Knull thus stands as a powerful allegory of self-determination, highlighting that even those born in darkness can choose a path of light.

The Tie-Ins: Expanded Narratives and Unseen Heroes

Marvel’s King in Black event extends into numerous tie-ins, each providing unique perspectives on Knull’s invasion and exploring how various heroes respond to this unprecedented threat. Some of the most significant tie-ins include:

1. Spider-Man and Venom: The King in Black: Spider-Man and Venom issues delve into Peter Parker’s support for Dylan and the wider Marvel community. Peter, already familiar with the impact of symbiotes, becomes a mentor for Dylan and provides moral guidance, emphasizing the shared legacy of hope between Spider-Man and Venom.

2. X-Men and Krakoa: The King in Black: X-Men tie-ins explore how mutants defend their new homeland, Krakoa, from symbiote forces. Characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Magik engage in battles that test their abilities and fortitude, reinforcing the themes of resilience and unity under siege. The X-Men’s commitment to protecting both mutantkind and humanity underscores their evolving role as global defenders.

3. Doctor Doom and Iron Man: In King in Black: Iron Man/Doctor Doom, these two genius rivals put aside their differences to fend off Knull’s forces. Their interactions highlight both their intellectual rivalry and the necessity of cooperation in the face of cosmic threats, showing that even vastly different minds can find common ground when faced with shared dangers.

4. Black Knight and Mystical Forces: King in Black: Black Knight delves into the mystical side of the Marvel Universe, as the Black Knight’s Ebony Blade resonates with Knull’s dark power. The storyline explores the duality of the blade and the nature of dark power wielded for good, emphasizing that even the darkest tools can serve a noble cause.

5. Silver Surfer and Cosmic Power: The Silver Surfer’s return in King in Black reminds readers of Marvel’s cosmic depth. As one of the few beings with experience in cosmic-level battles, the Silver Surfer uses his Power Cosmic to resist Knull, bridging the gap between Earth-bound heroes and the universe’s larger cosmic forces.

Lasting Impact on Marvel’s Universe

The King in Black storyline creates a ripple effect across the Marvel Universe, impacting both characters and lore in profound ways:

1. Eddie Brock as the New King in Black: Eddie’s transformation into the King in Black redefines his role, positioning him as a protector with far-reaching influence over all symbiotes. This evolution makes Eddie a cosmic figure and hints at potential storylines exploring his responsibilities and the ethical challenges of wielding such vast power.

2. Dylan Brock’s Emergence as a New Hero: Dylan’s unique powers, coupled with his courage, suggest he may play an essential role in future Marvel stories. His journey reflects the importance of family, legacy, and self-discovery, marking him as a potential new hero with a special connection to symbiotes.

3. Redemption of the Symbiotes: With Knull’s defeat, symbiotes are no longer tainted by his malevolence. This shift allows Marvel to portray symbiotes in new ways, presenting them as entities capable of both good and evil, free to choose their own paths.

4. Exploration of Cosmic Balance: The story’s introduction of the Enigma Force as the opposite of Knull highlights the Marvel Universe’s theme of cosmic balance. With light and darkness personified, King in Black enriches the Marvel mythos, adding layers to the concept of cosmic duality and the perpetual struggle between creation and destruction.

Art and Symbolism

Ryan Stegman’s artwork in King in Black captures the grandeur of this dark epic. His portrayal of Knull as a towering, malevolent figure embodies cosmic horror, while his scenes of Earth’s heroes falling against Knull’s forces emphasize the overwhelming odds. Stegman’s visual storytelling reaches new heights in Eddie’s transformation, using light to symbolize redemption and framing Eddie’s final battle with Knull as an almost mythic confrontation between good and evil.

Conclusion: King in Black as a Marvel Milestone

King in Black transcends a typical Marvel crossover with its cosmic scale, emotional depth, and masterful storytelling. At its heart, the series explores universal themes of hope, resilience, and redemption, offering readers a story that resonates beyond superhero battles. Eddie Brock’s journey from anti-hero to cosmic guardian exemplifies the power of legacy and transformation, while his son, Dylan, embodies the next generation of heroes shaped by love, courage, and sacrifice.

Through a narrative of darkness and light, King in Black serves as a powerful reminder that heroes are defined not by their origins but by their choices, and that even in the face of overwhelming darkness, hope can—and will—prevail.
