Remember in episode 11 of Not Me when Black showed up in front of Todd and put a gun to his head, which caused them to fight, and Todd attempted to drown Black, only for him to stop and have a whole ass moment . . .
THINKING ABOUT BLACK SHOWING UP TO HIS PLACE INJURED!
Then, in that memory, Todd questioned Black's "new friends" but he said it in such a way that clearly showed he was jealous
And his demeanor only changed once Black confirmed that he didn't really get along with these "new friends"
So he got up, called Black "an aggressive dog" while patting him like one
ONLY TO LAY DOWN ON THE BED AFTER ROLLING OUT HIS NECK
Remember how Black looked back at Todd laying on the bed?
Why were these decisions made?!
Why were we shown this as if it was an implication that they usually had sex?!
And that only they could hurt each other because they really knew each other, so Todd would rather fight with Black for the rest of his life than have anyone else?
WHY?!
I WANT ANSWERS!
GMMTV, I am begging you to give them back to me! They were enemies AND lovers. They were everything to me, and I need them back! I know I'm not getting them in 2024, but could you think about it for 2025? We're gonna have marriage equality, and I need to see these two fighting it out because Todd is heavily invested in rainbow capitalism so people will overlook the shitty things his companies do with their profits, and Black is blowing up his factories or some shit.
GIVE THEM BACK TO ME!
#ToddBlack#not a day goes by where I don't think of them#I need them back#not me#not me the series#Todd is the best character in that show#and I say that with my entire being#he is the perfect foil#he is everything wrong with that world#yet we still love him#we know what he did#yet we still root for him#he makes you question your beliefs#because we should be firmly on Black's side#yet WE LOVE TODD LIKE BLACK DOES!

Parallel Lines and Brothers.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#lan wangji#lan xichen#jin zixuan#Does anyone else think about the tragedy of the parallel lines? Of characters who are parallel lines?#Of running the same course as someone. Of echoing each other in perfect synchronicity.#It's more than being a foil. It's about being on the same path and being so near to each other.#and yet parallel lines never intersect. They cannot meet each other despite their existence being tied to another.#I think the brothers tragedy is just as much of a tragedy of parallel lines as is pre-resurrection wangxian.#Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian spend so much time running side by side and yet - they cant close this gap between them.#Even if their relationship never recovers - they are forever tied together through their past. The good and bad and ugly.#All the things that are left unsaid between them. All the love and sacrifices they made for each other that are never shared. Parallel line#I firmly believe any post-canon material that would have them be indifferent towards each other is just...really doing them a disservice.#And dear god the Lan brothers. They certainly love each other! Its a far fonder fraternal relationship than jiangxian (/platonic)#They fool you by having you think they have a good read on each other. Lan Xichen certainly wingmans + advocates for lwj!#But lets not forget - Lan Xichen by the end is in the reverse situation and headspace as Lan Wangji by the end of this story.#Lan Wangji is more free and open than he has ever been. He's in love. He's married. He and wwx are intersecting lines.#& LXC who grew up with and lived the same path as LWJ - who even is said to resemble him visually - his parallel line - shuts himself away#Despite all the love LWJ has for his brother I don't think he ever manages to reach him.

He’s so unserious 😂
i'm taking this to mean "it's 70 and sunny in edmonton" was a callback to his own documentary interview which makes it even funnier actually because my man DOES LOVE a bit
#matthew tkachuk#faceoff doc#included the link to the actual article in the photo source#the writer says matthew is the perfect villain but from her own words it sounds like he and the panthers are just the foil to connor's#and the oilers' no nonsense portrayal

fuck everything else ive ever said about making a video essay. Ive just had a divine epiphany. My first youtube video essay NEEDS to be "Why Is Roronoa Zoro Gay?"
#adddna#ITS THE PERFECT THESIS TO OPEN WHAT I WANT TO ANALYZE IN ONE PIECE AND HOW I WANT TO ANALYZE IT AND IM NOT KIDDING . AND ITS FUNNY 💯#AND NO IT WONT BE FOCUSED ON SANJI I SWEAR TO GOD. although he will come up HAS A HETERONORMATIVE FOIL#you can 100% discuss zoro being gay/queer coded without a single ship.#AND ITS ALWAYS MADE ME INSANE THAT NO ONE DOES THIS

thinkin abt the line "you think the time that i was chaste was being waste on a holy mission?" her defining characteristic throughout the show is her devotion to her religion, only for her to describe it all as a waste in the end
imagine you spend your entire life being good, being so so good, faithful- only for that faith and all of your goodness to be the direct cause of your downfall. if she didn't feel so much shame and anger in regards to her attraction to max, she never would have come up with the plan to prank him, which never would have led to his death, which never would have led to her having to give up her chastity after his resurrection.
imagine all of your doubts and fears becoming real. and in your darkest moment, at your rock bottom, when you are completely alone, abandoned by the very god you've pledged your life to, you find a new set of gods. gods that are real, gods that are tangible. gods that can give you back the power that you lost. gods that can give you back your purpose.
#grace chasity#hatchetfield#npmd#thinking about the line IT WASNT MY PLAN IT WAS GODS PLAN AND NOW HES LEAVING ME OUT TO DRY! as well#its very funny but also so goddamn sad#again shes been SO GOOD shes been PERFECT... and now she feels like god is punishing her for it.#the way the lords would manipulate grace into their perfect tool... INSANE#i think that this could set up grace and wilbur as foils as well but ill leave that for another post#wilbur is in control of his relationship with the lords and grace is Not

behold: the doomed unrequited waltonstein manifesto courtesy of twitter user ustfile
#‘would revive you if you died’ made me laugh bc. yeah#i guess you could say this is what i consider their 'canon' relationship dynamic#to put it succinctly: walton thinks he's met his soulmate#his eyes? replied to baby#margaret you don't understand he's PERFECT even though he's literally about to pass away from grief and exposure you don't UNDERSTAND#victor values walton. absolutely cares for him and thinks he's wonderful#but has literally lost the ability to Feel in the way walton wishes he would#can any man be to him as clerval was? :(#'i can't love you how you want me to' just like boygenius said#and when he tells walton as much it breaks his heart a little#because he's having fantasies of somehow curing victor and whisking him back to england and becoming his househusband#but alas#bro is in agony and victor's like 'dearest henry... is that you....'#waltonstein#robert walton#victor frankenstein#frankenstein#walton tag#sorry buddy ilysm but your romantic failure is compelling to me#doomed narrative foil yaoi YAAAAAAAAY#this was not succinct at all was it

Look at this jackass. How can you dislike Karim as an antagonist when he’s the perfect mix of giddy nerd and pathetic soggy bigot. Look how excited he is. Everyone else is looking away or shielding their eyes at the very least and he’s being a big magic nerd bigot all excited that his equally bigoted dragon friend is getting his wings back so he can further his imperialism
#the dragon prince#tdp spoilers#s6 spoilers#dragon prince spoilers#tdp karim#he’s the perfect foil to Janai I cannot get over it

thinking about how the only reason sunny started reconnecting with the world and realising he deserves love is because kel never gave up on him. even though sunny isolated himself from everyone kel still called him and tried to reach out. and it’s so pivotal it’s literally the key choice that determines whether or not you get the good ending. the path to healing and contentment depends on whether or not you take the hand kel offers you. and sunny learns to forgive himself because he keeps making that choice. he opens the door for kel, and therefore chooses reconciliation and personal growth. it’s why he’s able to save basil in the end. because kel is strong and resilient and kind. because kel is lonely and has grieved in silence for years but still looks for sunny everywhere he goes. because they’re both invisible. because everything that sunny needs, kel has.
kel saved sunny’s life
#they have the healthiest relationship in the game which says a lot because everyone is so damaged#I’m literally inconsolable#they’re foils your honour#tbf sunny foils all the kids for different reasons (which is why his dynamic with all of them is SO GOOD)#but his dynamic with kel makes me the most insane#idk what it is but it’s made me viscerally unwell#and that’s just thinking about the good ending. what about the bad/neutral endings………… gonna throw myself out a window#I also have thoughts about how hs!kel is the most flawed out of the kids even though headspace is meant to be an ideal world#meaning the kids are all the most idealised versions of themselves#but hs!kel is always in trouble and flawed and disruptive and is so openly himself#because he doesn’t need to be perfect to be deserving of love. not even from sunny’s warped/unreliable perspective#which is so important considering sunny’s relationship with kel directly impacts whether or not he can forgive himself#but anyway…………….#omori#omori kel#omori sunny#omori suntan#omori sunkel#omori caprisun#ghost speaks

god i will never stop fawning over how absolutely SPECTACULAR afo vs bakugou was. genuinely one of the best fights in the entire manga in terms of art, the themes, the pararells, the gayness, the fight itself, and just. everything about it makes me wanna scream into my pillow and chew on it
#MIND YOU this was the fight that made me interested in afos character#ugh like i shouldve known bakugou was gonna take on afo ... like i knew him and izuku were gonna take on shigafo#cus of the whole win to save save to win thing#and its perfect for shigafo cus yk!#but i didnt know tomura manage to break free out of afos grasp early on#(which srry tomura for not having faith lol)#but yeah pitting bakugou against the guy was fucking amazing#like theres so much layers to it#like first off making bakugou(and izuku) fulfill the save to win thing by rescuing all might from afo#like how all might did in the kamino arc with bkg but this time bkg didnt'end' all might he was the one who saved him#AND THE FACT THIS WAS FILMED TOO JUST LIKE BEFORE#BAKUGOU WOULD NOT BE KNOW AS THE ONE THAT ENDED ALL MIGHT BUT THE ONE THAT SAVED HIM#AND FUCKK bakugou and afo.......amazing foils seriously#boys with gifted powers but one grew up with almost nothing and the other grew up with love#they both turned out shitty but only one of them actually changed for the better#afo in a way is like bakugou past self. hes fighting on what he couldve been if he let his ego take hold on his mind#and no bakugou did not solely defeat afo himself . and god my boy is so grown he KNOWs if it werent for everyone elses effort#he wouldnt be able to take this bitch down#bakugou i love you so so much#you are such an excellent character fuckkkk#and afo...... well you see what happened to him. fitting end to someone who thought highly of himself#died in a pathetic subpar way. fighting an injured teenage boy lmao#OH AND SAID TEENAGE BOY THAT LOOKS LIKE HIS OLD NEMESIS LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO#ive said this before but bakugou is afos karmic incarnation#i CANNOTTTT wait for volume 40 to drop. possible dawn of quirks era content afo character page (please) and yoichi/kudou colored by hori?#bakugou katsuki#mha all for one#mha manga spoilers#OH AND bakugou telling afo to shut the fuck up!?!?!?!?!?!?!? AND PROCEEDS TO BEAT HIS ASS IN 3 DOUBLE SPREADS????? MY FUCKING GOAT.#dahlia.txt

This is previous anon from before, but could you also post some more facts about your Error..... I'm including this in a separate ask in case you don't want to LOL and if so feel free to ignore this heart emoji. I get the impression you're more interested in Dreamtale twins so it's okay if you don't have a lot of Error stuff to share HEHAHA
hohohoho alrighty!!!! idk if this can be considered 'facts' but I got like general info about her..
all things considered she's not super different from the actual error canon, just less focused on the destroying part.
but I guess the main difference is how she came to be.. error was once just a bunch of code floating around, until all that code merged together and formed her, and it did that because the code wanted to live!
she's like, an amalgamation of characters! she got some papyrus is there, some alphys, maybe also some flowey too, all in one body (I'm planning to make that more apparent in her redesign \(ϋ)/♩)
she was never really 'sans', for that matter.
when she came to be, her first thought wasn't to destroy aus, but the constant noise and overabundance of people just made her mad.
she basically tries to get rid of everyone because she was overstimulated what a girl.
when she realized that she couldn't destroy, she just locked herself in her apartment (cuz yeah she lives in an apartment [her and ink are neighbors]) and now is a bit of a recluse.
she got a bunch of hobbies and interests to keep her from going completely cuckoo crazy. honestly from every character here she might be the happiest. lol.
fun fact! : error likes sleeping in tight space and between machinery. she was found napping at least twice in the CORE..
#ahhhh..... my favorite weirdo!#i luv her lots.. she's the perfect foil to ink#something (i think?) i haven't revealed yet. but ink shattered his soul cuz he. gave up. he didn't want to live anymore.#but fate didn't want him to die (for whatever reason) so he's still here. all broken.#error on the other hand.. wanted to live! but fate didn't want her to live... so she turned out all broken too!!#they're mirrors AND foils! and btw they're like. siblings! cool stuff 👍👍#error sans#🖍️#💌

thinking about Seymour and how he’s a foil to not just Yuna but to Tidus as well. How he is the story showing us what could have happened to either of them had just a few factors been changed.
Seymour Guado, biracial just like Yuna but unable to hide what he is. Too Guado to be human and too human to be accepted by the Guado until he is of use.
A powerful father just like Yuna and Tidus, but what might have happened if Tidus’ mother disappeared instead? Left him with a father that saw him not as a boy but as an extension of himself? Some legacy he had to live up to? What would have happened if Braska weren't a kind man? If he hadn't made absolutely certain someone would take Yuna away from Bevelle so that the political machine couldn't use her status and Braskas legacy as a weapon? If Braska hadn’t made sure that no one and nothing could shape her future but her own free will?
what would have happened if either one of them had been faced with the choice at SEVEN to sacrifice the one person who loved them unconditionally? To sacrifice them for a useless cycle no one would even believe him about if he told them? Sacrificed their own mother for a religion that didn't care for them? To please a father who sent him off KNOWING he would die? Because the only thing that would make Jyscal Guado proud of his half breed son would be to inherit his legacy? To make him a statue, a portrait with no voice?
GOD, Imagine Yuna or Tidus finding out at seven that there is no God that loves you. There is NO ONE that loves you, there is only power and weakness. Then climbing back down Mt Gagazet, alone, afraid and small, knowing they’ll never see their mother again?
#Its eleven thirty and im. CRying about Seymour Guado#Hes HORRIBLE#but what a good character like???#the perfect foil#A cold monster shaped by the few factors Yuna and Tidus were spared from#LIKE#im weeping#welcome to my Ted Talk#seymour guado#ffx#Yuna#tidus#fandom shit
