#he deserved karma for this

[iwasbored777]

Now I'm thinking about Trolls bc of that new trailer and I remembered back in the first movie when Creek betrayed the squad and Branch was proudly smiling while Poppy was strangling Creek lmfao I think that was the exact moment Branch fell in love with her

Ruin - Good but selfish

I wanna talk about Ruin, especially after yesterday's episode and before today's...

I wanna say, I love Ruin. I love him as a character. I love the arcs he's had. I love how theatrical he is. I love how he's friend one minute and foe the next.

And I love that he is selfish.

I wanna talk about that.

Ruin is natural good, I believe.

He wouldn't have jumped in front of Earth/Terra to protect her from Nexus' blast if he wasn't at least a little.

He wouldn't have helped Eclipse and Puppet with Puppetmaster/Puppeteer if he wasn't at least a little good.

He wouldn't have helped Eclipse with Charlie if again, he wasn't a little good.

I do think he is good... but his biggest character flaw is...

He.

Is.

SELFISH.

This man sacrificed quadrillions of lives just to kill one man. He let Solar die, just to kill one man. He ruined any chance he had to be a member of The Celestial family, just to kill one guy.

He did say he tried to search for a way to save Solar, and only when he couldn't find one did he go completely through with his plan.

I get it. I'm not gonna sit here and argue if what Ruin did involving wiping out all those dimensions was a reasonable sacrifice or not. I'm not gonna say it was right, but it had to be done, I suppose...

What Ruin did was bad, and I thought coming here to the EAPS universe, getting a second chance, meeting all these new people, having this new family, I thought he'd change...

But I was wrong.

He still is selfish.

He's willing to let everyone die/get corrupted by the ruin virus if it means saving his Monty.

I get it. He loves Rusty, and I'm sure if the rolls were reversed, Rusty would do the same, but would Ruin say to Charlie what Rusty said to her? To let him die to save everyone? I don't know, maybe he would, but maybe he wouldn't.

Ruin loves Rusty, but he is risking too much right now! Charlie, her dad, Ballora, Molly, Lefty, F.C., Captain Foxy (<-wherever the heck that guy is?), Eclipse, Roxanne, EVERYONE IN THIS DIMENSION!

And he doesn't care. He is willing to let them die for his own selfish gain.

Heck, he could die! But he doesn't care. He doesn't matter in his mind, only Rusty, not him, not anyone else, just him.

Call it love, obsession, or just plain old selfishness, but Ruin clearly doesn't care about anyone but Rusty.

I want Ruin to get the good ending, but nothing is guaranteed. Maybe he will get a happy ending, or maybe karma is coming to get him. Maybe it was never done with him.

Ruin, you could have had it all, family, friends, and maybe yes, you could lose Rusty, but maybe you'll find another, and if you don't, that's fine too. You don't need that type of love to be happy. You had friends and family. You were supposed to make right choice...

And you choose wrong.

Ruin is such an interesting and complex character. I can't help but wanna strangle him one moment and root for him the next. The writer definitely did a good job on Ruin's character.

I don't expect anyone to agree with me and before anyone get on my case, I am a Sukuna fan so I'm not saying this as a "hater".

And as such, I'll say this.

I know folks are already going "his death is underwhelming" (mind you the actual chapter isn't even out yet) and honestly?

I see nothing wrong with that. Yes, I agree it was underwhelming.

But it's fitting.

Ryomen Sukuna had done nothing but be cruel to almost everyone (excluding Uraume here). He's arrogant, selfish, a malevolent man who lived as he pleased and didn't see value in one's life.

He deserved to have been taken out like that and fade away while Yuji, the one person he hated the most and made his life hell, looked down on him. He deserved an underwhelming, pathetic end while the one person he hated the most was the only one around to see him off to his death.

Wasuke told Yuji to not die alone and be surrounded by others just before he died and maybe in the future, Yuji gets to do that.

But Sukuna? He died alone with only one person who held nothing but pity for him.

You know what, it mirrors Wasuke's death, thinking about it.

Both Sukuna and Wasuke died with just Yuji there. In the end, their final departure is them turning into ash. Wasuke goes out peacefully as he should because he may have been an old grumpy man, he still loved his grandson and raised him with everything he could.

Sukuna himself is a bit of a grump, a little, and an old man himself (over 1000+ years old). However, unlike Wasuke, Sukuna didn't care for Yuji in the slightest. He's the boy's uncle (via soul reincarnated through Jin) and here he is treating Yuji the way that he does. In the end, he doesn't go out peacefully and Yuji still shows him some bit of kindness by giving him one more chance even as Sukuna rages at him.

(Overall, it reminded me of another certain villain's death in a manga that also had an announcement of ending in five chapters recently that is about heroes and villains. Hm... what manga was that again?)

[sillygoofygooberguy]

call me crazy but

hyuna and till

they both joined the rebellion, and they are both haunted by the image of someone dear to them that they’ve left behind in alien stage (ivan through his death, and hyuna through leaving luka in alien stage to join the rebellion) to the point where it is their weakness.

both ivan and luka seemed to offer some sort of way out, which both declined (ivan offering till to escape with him and luka saying that if she had stayed he would have protected her) because of their strong will

both of them as well to an extent overcame those traumas, hyuna allowing herself that honesty with luka in karma, and the recent comic with till where he comes to understand ivan better

they both are complicated relationships and its beautiful seeing how the characters both parallel and differ from eachother

[specialfanboying]

there's a flavor to slasher's horror that i really like. it's not quite like cult and its horror of loss of agency/consent but it's like. takumi increasingly and to worse extremes being used for other people's satisfaction. tamest is yugamu repeatedly terrorizing him so he can sate his own bloodlust.

the g'ie queen always gets me because like. it's using takumi to violently kill his friends, getting slowly worse and worse and ending in forcing him to kill nozomi as he helplessly begs it to stop from the prison of his own body. but also hard to watch is takumi degrading. he spends a lot of the route exhausted and starving. either the g'ie doesn't eat in his body, the strain of having a parasite saps his energy, or both. it bleeds into his mind. it laughs at his suffering and gladly causes more.

and last is hiruko, who allows it to happen. it's out of love, and what kills me is that she really is trying. like it's only at day 74 that she finally runs out of options. but with no options, she makes sure takumi lives, even if it kills more people. she refuses to mercy kill takumi at any point out of love. but it prolongs his suffering.

just. takumi on slasher really increasingly feels like less of his own person and has less and less choice, to an ultimate tragic and painful end.

I AM CRASHING OUT OVER THE COMMENTS THAT ARE ON EVERY POST EVERY VIDEO ABOUT BERTHOLDTS DEATH SHUT UP SHUT UPPPPPP HIS SCREAMS DID NOT WARM YOUR HEART YOU HAVE NO SOULLLLL

[takaraphoenix]

I agree with your Peter took out a threat post but what also lives rent free in my head is Kate telling Derek that she was the one to kill Laura by cutting her in half. Implying she howled like a bitch when it happened if I recall, which makes me question Peter actually killing his niece. Kate, who killed almost all of the Hale Pack, would absolutely brag about that kill too. Especially to Derek. So I question: did Peter do a mercy kill because Laura wasn't quite dead yet? was his attack on Laura what got her actually killed? Peter would absolutely take the brunt of it in favor of not letting his nephew think Kate took more of his family away. Peter cares deeply for his family and it shows. Anyway, I guess why I'm here is, what are your thoughts?

Mmmh, I just think that being cut in half very effectively would kill you, like... there would be no need for a mercy kill here?

If going with "Kate killed Laura", we could go with "the Alpha Spark moved on to the closest Hale in the vicinity, which was Peter", so Peter had no hand in killing Laura at all. Which would be interesting too.

Personally, I am a very vindictive person though and I like the fact that Peter got to kill the Alpha who chose to fully abandon him.

Got around to finishing up some more AA/MP100 character swaps that I sketched out a while ago and then forgot about!

We have Mogami swapped with Kristoph (since Apollo is Mob and Phoenix is Reigen). I gave him a moth bolo tie and I love it. Next we have Suzuki swapped with von Karma (since Miles is Serizawa and Franziska is Shou). After that we have Shimazaki swapped with Godot (the blind guys…also Shimazaki looks like Phoenix so I thought it was silly too). Then we have Sakurai swapped with Gregory Edgeworth and the way to tell the difference between the two is one has a scar! (/silly). I gave Gregory the Jugan because oopsie gun! After that we have Tsuchiya swapped with Mia (one: their names rhyme. two: cool women). With them we have Mukai swapped with Pearl since y’know little child teehee

I have some ideas for a few more but I’ll do those later.

You can find the other two posts here! AA as MP100 and MP100 as AA
