elrond through the ages based on one glorious panel from chapter 95 of Black Butler (hopefully i got that right....). in the context of this sequence, i always thought it was sad to think abt how many people elrond has lost throughout his life alongside how remarkable he is to remain "as kind as summer" still by the time the hobbit rolls around 🥺

i redrew elrond's poses based on ciel's in the original panels BUT i forgot what page exactly the original panel sequence is... however!! if you scroll down to the middle half of this blog post you can find the original reference pic :D warning that it includes heavy spoilers for the black butler manga so u could just alternatively google 'ciel phantomhive running' and it'd probably be one of the first results that pop up haha

HELPP?? I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A CAPTION FOR THIS PIECE OF LUKA AND HYUNA THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE OMINOUS-

im really not a fan of Rick's recent trend of recycling bits of his writing that got a good reaction the first time and acting as if that's a valid substitute for. actually bothering to write something original a second time around. It's clearly just there as a callback and nothing more.

It's "Nico's rage exploded" and "Percy's rage exploded" with the exact same paragraph formatting. It's CoTG having titles like "My Singing Makes Things Worse, and Everyone Is Totally Shocked" (reference to TLO, when Percy says he thinks his singing would cause an avalanche) or "Pretty Much the Best Good-Night Kiss Ever" (reference to TLO "Pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time") or any other number of near word-for-word references to the first series. It's Nico calling Percy "seaweed brain" in Un Natale Mezzosangue (when Percy says in TTC that anybody but Annabeth calling him that is a major offense). It's Nico and Will falling into Tartarus in TSATS word-for-word referencing Percy and Annabeth in House of Hades, despite it not making any sense for their characters (and otherwise being written as Percabeth 2™). It's the show making huge changes but keeping random "fan-favorite references" (mostly overusing "seaweed brain" and "wise girl" and emphasizing percabeth) only because they're popular in-jokes and considering that a faithful enough adaptation to market it heavily as such. It's lazy writing.

And it's a disservice to the series and to the audience, because it clearly shows Rick doesn't have original ideas anymore (though given all his writing is heavily derivative to begin with, it begs the question how much was original in the first place and how much he has difficulty when he doesn't have a structured mythological plot to work from) and that there is an expectation that the audience will just sit down and accept that behavior hook-line-and-sinker. Everything recently is clearly such lip-service to the audience, either in retcons that are overt speaking-to-camera acknowledgements of things he's been criticized on or wink-wink-nudge-nudges of community in-jokes that have no business in the actual text (see: over-use of ship names in canon). Especially since Rick tends to be about 5 years behind on the fandom uptake. It's just so disappointing to see.

listen the thing about sol that is so unendingly endearing to me is that like, he’s such a little sidekick and he loves being one. sol doesn’t really desire recognition or importance or any of that as much as he desires connection and community and to be able to be a pillar of support for others. he really does define himself throughout his life through his relationships with others and the communities he belongs to - first the other kids at the water park, then the frog pal to albin’s boy wizard, then a part of mothership/ezry, and now with duck team. and this gets so obviously mirrored in swag, who has that same identity shaping loyalty but never found a safe place or community to dedicate it to. he’s the best frog of all time and I love him for it.

"Weh weh weh weh." -Gremlin Sky

Have I mentioned that these two are in the same au/same ao3 series that's actually connected to each other? This is what Wars looks like, until certain events that happen in Whumptober season.

Future angst incoming like a train

EURYLOCHUS WAS ODY'S BROTHER IN LAW!?!?

Hehe Yep! Eurylochus in the myths was married to Odysseus younger Sister, Ctimene. So he was not only a Long time friend/brother of war/ second in command, but pretty literally FAMILY.

one would think that would make Eurylochus more lenient on Ody but nooooo.

The family reunion would be kind of awkward with Ctimene now that i think of it😅

Me, episode 1: Oh, a relatable protag! And a relatable female protag, at that. Sweet! That never happens.

Me, a few episodes in: Wait, the protag really is going to be my character? The one I identify with the most? Seriously? It's not going to be a strange, at least somewhat sinister, seemingly hostile male side character? It's gonna be a female character and the protagonist? That's insane, that literally never happens... what's the catch??

Me, more than halfway through the season: ... huh, I guess Maomao really is it. Okay, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me to myself, after episodes 22/23:

in which a language barrier has the new kid accidentally naming his new friends

[raayllum]

don't get me wrong callum is undeniably a prince and it plays into his family dynamics and his initial sense of unworthiness when the story starts a lot, but i'll never fully understand the hang up that it's a Big part of his ongoing story when his own brother, the king, says "remember who you are" and just refers and reiterates his mage identity (4x06), and that's the only one that callum seems to significantly care about either (5x07)

i know im getting really worn out bc a quick scroll thru the trigun tag actually has me on the verge of tears with how repetitive it is

[chaoswillcalmusdown]

i wonder how much of richie being dismissive of carmy and claire in season 3 connects back to his marriage with tiff crumbling while he took carmy's role(as son/brother) of helping donna cope post mikey's death

requited unrequited

so there was something going around a while ago when people where discussing 'requited unrequited' and how it's hilarious,

i didn't think too hard about it but like yes ITS SO FUNNY

the idea that both parties think the other has a crush on them and is too polite/embarrassed to shoot them down

and then their actual respective love interests are losing their mind

ITS GOLD ITS FUNNY WHAT DO YOU MEAN

and i deadass haven't seen a single fic like this, can someone drop a fic rec if they know anything and they belong to the following fandoms????
