"we heard the nerevarine set sail for Akavir and Vivec vanished during the Oblivion Crisis" "I wonder where they are now"
I stumbled on the @nerevar-quote-and-star pinup challenge and ached to do the "sunkissed" one but then my life happened and my computer crashed and then I added Vivec and now I'm past the days for that prompt so this is late! I hope that's cool lol
couldn't help but immediately think about my nerevarine, Isavyn, who 100% fucks off into the distance with Vivec in tow post-tribunal/bloodmoon to go farting around Tamriel. It's healthy and fun, for someone's definition of healthy and fun.

Ratatouille would have been a better and potentially much more interesting story if Remy had partnered with Collette instead of Linguini. Two underdogs with talent and passion forced to maintain a dangerous ruse. Fiercely independent Collette giving up temporary control of her body to a creature who, despite the insanity of a rat wanting to cook professionally, she can relate to on a personal level and who she does want to teach. The inner conflict of wondering if Remyās growing talents are eclipsing her own, if the praise their food is earning belongs more to him than to her. Her guilt over feeling resentment and jealousy towards this little guy who wouldnāt have a hope of realizing his talents if not for her trust and protection. Both of them unraveling the mystery of that sweet but bumbling kitchen boy with the obvious crush on Collette being Gusteauās secret son, and working together to thwart the new evil ownerās plans to stop Linguini from claiming his birthright. The message of the movie not being this weird, almost smug āsome people are born with talent, some people arenāt, and thatās how being a ~great artist~ worksā, but something more like, āif you have a dream, you deserve to pursue it, and be supported and encouraged in your pursuit of it, even if other people tell you that, because of some intrinsic aspect of yourself or the circumstances you were born in (like being a human woman in the restaurant industry, or being a literal rat), you have no place pursuing this dream. Also, raw talent can only get you so far, and skill and passion existing in the right balance is key.ā Iāve been thinking about this for seventeen years. Iām breaking my silence
#when I first watched this movie the moment near the end where Collette makes ratatouille and Remy rejects it outright#and makes his own super special beautiful version that everyone loves#even though Collette was the one who turned him into the cook he became and taught him everything#it felt kind of mean to me? like mean as a story choice. like ohh sure he needed her help before#but heās this special little genius so now her skills arenāt presented as impressive or even worthwhile anymore#catie talks

this shit is so funny
#emmrichs lichdom is antithetical to his character and is objectively the wrong choice#iām not even sure how he passed the lich test because saving manfred is indicative of how he canāt handle lichdom because of the whole#outliving everyone he loves#and based on in game interactions and other notes the way emmrich reacts to losing manfred is regret#and thereās a note somewhere where a companion notices crying coming from emmrichs room#like how did he not fail the test like hezenkoss had because deep down he is still afraid of death#itās now not his own death but now everyone around hims death#anyways#this game needs more bad endings and angst#let them suffer i want a TRUE bad ending#dav spoilers#spoilers#emmrich spoilers#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#datv#emmrich volkarin#dragon age: the veilguard#lucanis#lucanis dellamorte#also i feel like lucanisās reaction is less āwtfā and more sad because he also knows this sort of thing isnāt going to make emmrich#not afraid of death

I kidnapped ur long-nosed cat for a sec

#last year you said that ādude looks like he's been betrayed in all past lives and is to be betrayed in all lives to comeā#and it has become one of the defining descriptions of Machete in my head#I think about it frequently#you captured him so delicately here#almost like an old oil painting#or weirdly enough the color palette also reminds me of chalk on a blackboard#and I appreciate the big angular pink-tinted goblin ears#and the smooth gradient of his snout#I like the nuance of his expression he seems calm but kind of melancholic#thank you! your rendition of him looks so classy and refined ;-;#gift art#awkwardosthe3rd#Machete#own characters#I can't paint digitally at all so whenever I see someone making it seem so natural and correct and right I'm like#floored#people are making such nice art of my goobers I have no choice but to curl on the floor like a dead bug

Lokius + never saying goodbye
#mobius#loki#lokius#marveledit#lokiedit#mcuedit#hope is hard!!!!#waking up thinking about comic!mobius holding out faith in loki no matter what...#him trying to downplay the possibility of ever seeing loki again#wanting him to know he gets to make his own choice about where to end up then loki reciprocating in kind#the shift from 'my friend' to simply mobius' name because at that point how can he even put into words what they've become to each other#especially not to a version he met specifically to avoid such since he'd never be able to make the sacrifice otherwise#the way they never stop thanking each other for a completely new spin on the life they'd wanted all along until those last few scenes#where mobius isn't able to thank loki in person anymore and chooses to wait until he can as his own chosen purpose šš#owen wilson#tom hiddleston#marvel#owenwilsonedit#dianagifs

I think people are not understanding that to get Astarionās approval up you donāt have to be mean you just have to be chaotic. The man is a toddler let loose off his leash for the first time in 200 years he doesnāt care about being mean he cares about being funny
#like yeah he would approve if you punched a child in act 1 but not because its mean because its so out of pocket#he gets to make his own choices for the first time he can remember and heās using that freedom to start a career as a slapstick comedian#bg3#baldurās gate 3#astarion

Savage Opress, as a character, is what a certain type of Anakin stans want Anakin to be, in practically every aspect, and the fact that he's so underappreciated in the fandom is partially because seeing the reality of a character who is actually damaged in those ways makes that certain type of fan uncomfortable. In this essay I will - [gunshots]
#kat rants#savage opress#anakin skywalker critical#he was raised in a force cult and mentally manipulated#he grew up with no ability to make his own choices#and he had the family he loved ripped away from him because of the cult's actions#then he was forced to do terrible things by a powerful man#and became the enemy of the galaxy because of it#am i taking about savage or the weird saintly caricature of anakin that stanikans cling to and blame the jedi for#fandom salt

my contribution to the fmab fandom, slowly but surely (click for better quality)
#you can make the argument that ling yao is forced to dilly dally but i think its a choice on his part#he didnt have to pretend to be a silly lil guy he just really wanted to#but yeah do not underestimate him he is always locked in. the dilly dally is usually a farce#greed however wants so badly to be locked in but he is forced to dilly dally for months on a camping trip#greed the avaricious#<hes born to lock in forced to lock in but went and dilly dally-ed until canon rolled around#yes i view all of them as individual characters. id even say greedling (when the lines blur n you cant tell) is its own fourth character#greedling#ling yao#fmab#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood#born to dilly dally#forced to lock in#yes i know these are usually done with one image but im indecisive and couldnt pick T^T#also i have a million screenshots of them and i need to use them or it was all for naught#moss' madness

Things that Jiang Cheng is better at then Wei Wuxian:
1. Fashion
2. Respecting peopleās autonomy and right to make informed decisions without deciding that he knows better then the person it most effects.
3. Yelling
#this is about the golden core but itās ALSO about wwx ending yanliās engagment!#like this is a noticeable behavioural pattern wwx has#anyway JiÄng Cheng could never bc one of his greatest fears is trapping the ppl he loves like his father trapped his mother#and therefore he always lets them make their own choices eg wwx leaving for the burial mounds and jyl getting re-engaged#so jot that down#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#mdzs#yunmeng shuangjie#chengxian

Ok this is gonna sound fun but, did Timmy ever get any advice from "fairy mason" who was his fairy lawyer in the norm the genie episode. It would be cool to see Timmy have a mentor
Timmy practically lived in Fairy Mason's office throughout his entire schooling at Pixies' Academy. He had lots of questions and discussions and thoughts!!!! And Fairy Mason answered every. single. one of them.
Fairy Mason wrote the letter of recommendation to the Fairy Council to let Timmy work so close with Jorgen on Da Rules' policy changes! Timmy was able to hit the ground running by the time he entered the workforce thanks to it. He also quickly made a name of himself as one of the best lawyers of the Pixie Court due to Mason's tutelage!
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop timmy turner#fop timmy#timmy turner#asks#itty bitties fop au#uay778#after timmy got his job he still maintained contact with fairy mason#but as time passed he relied on his advice less and less#because sooner or later you just gotta make your own choices and rely on your own intuitions!#and fairy mason is very proud of timmy!!!#usually when someone constantly asks for your advice. theres that fear that what theyre hoping for is to become you.#or as near identical as you so that theyd never have to make their own choices or their own thoughts#but timmy took his advice and made it into his own and became his own fairy. he simply needed mason's guidance to understand things!#fairy mason was on call though when they had to re-release norm#thankfully timmy didnt have to call him but he was on standby

#MOMENTS THAT MAKE ME EMOTIONAL. BAUL CALLING HIM BY NAME NOT CALLING HIM HUMAN. WEAK AT THE KNEES#i think ill only have time to draw these two pieces before i leave for the holidays so i want them to be a set. i think its fun#talked abt it on twt but artistically its SO fun that book 7 has the 'good guys' w the colors of the night. greens and purples and darks#and the 'bad guys' of the humans strike their queen down with a brilliant yellow light. the light IS the darkness is conceptually yummy#trying to lean into color choices and intentional comps lately. lilias piece reading L>R feels like the angle pushes down on him#here sebek faces with the eye's movement so its more positive. like hes climbing towards his beautiful bright future. ouughj#never before in fandom have i wanted to so clearly break down my own art choices like a historian but diasom does smth to my brain#twst#twisted wonderland#sebek zigvolt#baul zigvolt#ch 7 spoilers#suntails

If Coryo was solely looking out for himself throughout TBOSAS and never had genuine feelings for Lucy Gray, then explain this passage

He couldāve landed in one of the districts closer to the Capitol, but instead chose to exile himself to District 12 hoping to be reunited with Lucy Gray. The mere possibility of their reunion is the only thing that keeps him going. And thatās love.š
#hunger for power and obsession with control can 100% coexist with love btw#the latter isnāt diminished by the circumstance that the person feeling such love later made poor choices#it just makes their story a tragedy#disliking a character and/or thinking theyāre irredeemable is one thing#but believing that snow was evil from the start is just wrong#heās digging his own grave but is unaware of it#tbosas#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games#snowbaird#coryo x lucy#coriolanus snow#lucy gray baird#coriolanus x lucy gray

wardrobe notes for my silly au; travelling king thranduil
#thranduil#the hobbit#lotr#myart#i wanna start drawing him consistently for all of these doodles anyways#i hope his emotional state/proximity to elrond will be apparent by how ornate or stripped down his clothes and jewelry are :)#he wears dark warm colors and greens elrond wears cooler colors and occasional red and copper their tailoring is to personal taste#i like that rivendell elves have really elegant lines in their clothes it makes sense w the art nouveau architecture#i think thranduil dresses p singularly tho i think his tailoring and color choices are all of his own (dramatic)#ugh wish these geezers would hurry up and court each other so i can draw elrond wearing a flower crown in the greenwood

state of deltarune theories is so so bad cuz they all try to connect back to the theme of escapism without noticing that that theme isn't even in deltarune.
#the personification of noelle's overbearing mother follows her around throughout the cyber world.#and she spends the entire game scared and confused and alone. until the very end where she's forced to stand up to that figure that scares#-so much. not because she went through any eye opening adventure where she learned to be more brave-#-but because her friends were literally about to die.#she didn't grow at her own pace. she was forced to speak up at the last moment.#kris gets a weird effigy of their brother forced on them as a romantic interest without their say in the matter-#-because they literally cannot speak their mind.#and gosh. the most defying example. berdly.#he spends the entire game trying to build an actual escapist fantasyland. with all his shtick about making a 'smartopia'.#but it never works out.#berdly keeps trying to live that escapist fantasy. a fantasy where he's the hero and gets the girl at the end (the girl being susie)#but he never gets that.#absolutely nothing in the game points at it being about escapism in any shape or form.#hell. I'd say dark worlds don't even reflect what the lightners want in any way.#kris doesn't get friends because of the dark worlds. but because of *us*.#we. the player. is the the one making the right choices for kris.#deltarune is much more interested in exploring what it means to be stuck in a narrative-#-that forces per assigned roles on characters that don't want those roles than it is ever about escapism.#like. did everyone miss the huge player shaped elephant in the room or what.#āļø

i was talking extensively with a friend about reijuās delicate balance of caring/emotionless and her relationship with sanji
#dont look too closely or u WILL see that i drew this cold and sloppy#hopefully its legible#uhhhhh anyway. she does genuinely want sanji to have a good and safe life!#but she doesnt understand how to factor in what he WANTS from life.#and she certainly doesnt trust him to make his own decisions regarding said life#in her mind i think she sees her muted emotions as a strength. she thinks she can make unbiased choices for him#her idea of Best Possible Life would make him MISERABLE#the end#one piece#sanji#vinsmoke reiju
