Things I make for myself when insomnia kicks in

Just a chart about what I wanna change up and keep consistent in my art - I mainly wanna draw Raph with a tail because he deserves one, it fits too well. Donnie gets a long tail too because I didn’t realize how dino-like he looks until I gave him one, and now it’s a must for me haha.

Sam, getting to know Dean in season 1.

this is the one hundredth time i'm talking about this and i'll talk about it a million times more. i will never shut up about just how much senku cares about people, especially those he loves. his clear cut fear and anger and sadness is so much more impactful when you remember he's not the type to be too outwardly vulnerable. senku nearly tearing up seeing taiju's statue. senku crying over his dad's death. senku telling yuzuriha he didn't need a brace, yet continuing to wear the one she made for him, and even making the fabric the official flag of the kingdom of science (and it also becoming his most TREASURED possession). senku biting his lip to refrain from crying when he hears from taiju and yuzuriha for the first time in a year ("i missed you guys so much i could almost start crying."). senku breaking his feigned nonchalance over yuzuriha's capture the SECOND her hair is cut off and tsukasa's dagger finds her throat because, even in a life or death negotiation, he can't refrain his fear from seeing his loved ones in danger. him then PROCEEDING to hand over the only leverage he had over tsukasa to save yuzuriha's life. senku grieving over tsukasa's "death". senku providing both suika and kinro with glasses, and being genuinely happy with suika's joy at being able to see clearly. senku letting kohaku hug him. he loves his family so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

the fact that the harrow nova universe implies that gideon is now the necromancer makes me crave a true role reversal au. like, one where everyone's roles are reversed.

just imagine. ianthe and coronabeth as cavaliers. babs as a necromancer. palamedes as a cavalier. camilla as a necromancer.

fuck it. go even further;

lock john in the tomb.

idea: alecto locked him in the tomb when she realized he had too many powers for one human to have, and had become an active threat.

now, this leaves us in a universe where....alecto is the emperor. and to be completely fair, her overall personality and demeanor fit the role of god much better than john's. which leaves us with two very different versions of mercymorn and augustine. a mercymorn and augustine who are, for one, absolutely terrified of the emperor of the nine houses, and a mercymorn and augustine who know they can't threesome their way into a betrayal. and maybe, just maybe, they're not too fond of the whole "locked our friend in a tomb on pluto for 10 000 years" thing.

as for john himself, idk man. maybe some time in the tomb would do him some good. a few thousand years to, like, y'know. think about the whole "destroyed the universe" thing. also, i just like the idea of him, at the end of the nova universe's version of ntn, walking out of the tomb and saying something stupid like "what year is it?" "10008" "damn it. my alarm didn't go off."

oh, also, pyrrha in control of g1deon for the entirety of htn, only for g1deon to emerge at the end. haven't given this idea that much thought, but i'm sure there are g1deon enthusiasts who could do it justice.

Just had a middle-of-the-night “ohhhh” moment as I just figured out that Kim Dokja needs the Fourth Wall not because of the scenarios but because it was essentially his survival mechanism for life.

Now I have only read the novel once so I could totally be forgetting stuff & way off-base but this is what I remember. Inane rambling under the cut, major spoilers included.

We know he’s generally antisocial, placing himself outside of society like a reader, and he internally smoothed over Sangah’s rough points even before the scenarios, making her into a ‘character’ (a caricature of herself) that fit into an archetype.

Dissociating from reality & viewing himself as a reader is his coping mechanism & “WoS coming to life” provides a convenient excuse to keep ignoring that fact.

This kind of ties in with an idea I’ve been forming about the Fourth Wall, which is that KDJ is fundamentally incapable of believing that “The Characters” (read: everyone) can experience growth as a result of his actions. He exists outside of the story, he is in the audience beyond the fourth wall, so he cannot affect the characters.

Hence the paradoxical nature of the Fourth Wall. For as long as he is a Reader, the Fourth Wall is maintained. And as long as the Fourth Wall is maintained, he will continue to be a Reader.

(Warning this is where it gets incoherent and messy.)

Kim Dokja fundamentally NEEDS the Fourth Wall to be maintained. Not just because of the OD stuff, but because it’s the way he’s learnt to cope with existing. It’s also why dying is so easy for him—we know he cannot deal with the guilt of making people he cares about suffer, but if he’s just a Reader, that means he can’t really have any meaningful impact on their lives, so it’s fine for him to just… disappear.

Kim Dokja is not actively suicidal, he’s just invested himself so far into the worldview of himself being a Reader that to him, his temporary deaths no longer register as dying. More like… stepping out of the theatre for a bit.

It gets complicated when we hit OD. Because then we realise the KDJ we’ve been accompanying is essentially a self-insert OC. So we can ascribe the way he thinks to OD, including all the coping mechanisms and self-distancing. But where OD manages to escape the narrative along with SP, at the same time the KimCom Crew escape the narrative, KDJ actually kind of… doubles down?

Like, OD does what any Reader does and learns from the book. When KDJ says “I, someone of no redeeming quality, could be loved by the others.” It’s not just him learning this lesson. It’s actually kind of the opposite. OD is Reading this lesson so he learns that he’s allowed to accept the mercy of SP & the 999 crew. So they escape the narrative.

KimCom also manages to escape the narrative but KDJ… can’t. He comes to the conclusion that he was actually backstage all along. But that means he’s still not ON stage. A Character can’t feel for the Script Writer or Director or Stage Manager. So he doubles down on his separation from them, stepping into that role. And then then KimCom comes banging on his door backstage because they’re not just characters, they’re the Actors now, and KDJ disappears because he can’t deal with that, because he fundamentally cannot exist on the same plane as them.

I think that’s why I’m hopeful at a post-epilogue ending. KDJ The Reader exists at essentially a higher tier than the people around him, and so he believes he cannot be loved in a way that has a lasting impact on them. But he DID spend years being affected by WoS, by Yoo Joonghyuk. If he becomes the Character, and them the Readers… maybe, just maybe, he can actually accept that love.

So, uh... I'm no expert on elven trance or anything, but...

I think something went wrong there.

(Close-up and another pic of it below the cut)

I mean, I'm pretty sure the blood there is coming from the fight that just happened before with those Gith, but uh... interesting coincidence then still. I don't know what borked his trance-position/animation here, it was fine all the other rests before.

And bonus another angle of it too (although with his eyes open) bc of that bug that the more party members mod does every now and then where your 4 bedroll-sleeping ppl stay asleep for a little longer bc something doesn't work.

I'm uh. I'm just. Confused, I guess.

What are your favorite Chase moments from the show so far?

Just like with Zuma's post, it's in no specific order, I just really loved all these moments

That first Mission PAW episode when the Princess chose specifically HIM to be the watch dog and guard her crown. That was so adorable I can't even. He seemed so genuinely proud and happy there! Plus he's so damn cute wearing that tux lol

When they were going to rescue Skye and Chase was so worried upon hearing that she was the one in need of rescue. Then when Ryder was choosing which pups would be part of the rescue, that moment he was like "Pick meee pick meeee-"?? That was so cute, he really cares about her and wanted to impress her so bad lmao personally make sure she would be safe (Bonus points for his excitement over being picked for the rescue and everyone else like Go ahead king, we all know you wanted this XD)

The entire time he spent with the owlet and working to rescue the mama owl from that fallen tree. It was so sweet!! The fact I also love owls surely didn't help AUSHAUSHAUSHAU I love that episode SO MUCH

That moment when he finally turned into a Merpup. Poor boy was so fixated on "being on duty" despite wanting SO BAD to go and participate in "the fun". And he couldn't even enjoy being a merpup immediately because he was transformed just because he needed to swim faster for the rescue but he was so overjoyed anyway! Only after that mess, he could go and finally have the fun he wanted and deserved so much.

That moment in the first Sea Patrol episode when he and Skye were left behind at the beach while the rest of the team went on the first mission with the Sea Patroller. His face upon SEEING the HQ turn into a ship and sail away was just priceless XD (Also it's rare to see Chase being put on the sidelines for once lmao)

The first Ultimate Rescue episode!! God, Chase was SO HAPPY. He's THE Police Pup, he gets to lead the mission, supervise, plan, give orders. And the way all the other pups clearly loved the experience and were SO ON BOARD with being Police Pups with him, it was just awesome!

So far these are my favorite moments! Actually I legit just got to watch this first Ultimate Rescue episode like one hour ago. Not to mention it took me five days to think of these moments and then go find the episodes again to take the respective screenshots XD

R.I.P my power fantasy 😔 who would have figured the huge military man wouldn't spare me just because I was nice to him once /j and by unexpected I mean totally expected lmao 😭

Rest in pepperoni indeed (with extra cheese) 🍕

I mean... He did spare you, technically. Brought you to a medic and didn't end you - unlike many others he came across. König isn't really used to people actually being nice to him or being genuine about it without wanting something out of him. So it's why he shows mercy, just that once, and doesn't kill you or leave you to rot - because you were kind to him without any expectations. You showed him kindness so he's doing the same. An eye for an eye. Otherwise, if it were just a normal enemy - he would. It's a one time thing and an exception though. If you go against him again, there's no saving you. He won't hold any punches because of how he feels

I always try to stick with the most realistic versions of how I see them (unfortunately or fortunately, take it as you will) because I can't really stand the level of OOC things I see all the time in the COD fandom

I mean write whatever you want, indulge in however you want, you only have one life - live it! Life is too short to worry about others. It just irks me personally to see their characters usually reduced to fawning over a person or acting wayyyy out of character for it

Your best bet of getting anything more than plopped into a medical tent when you're on the enemy side after a single nice interaction - that would be with Gaz. My man has the strongest moral compass and constantly is treading the line between what he has been told to do verses his feelings on it. He's got far more humanity than most of the others and wants to be the positive change in the system which they work it. Not to mention, dude is crazy strong, he can haul you there no problem and get you out of harms way

I mean even then he's probably making sure you'll be okay before he too has to rush off because wars don't pause when one soldier is hurt. He may check on you later but seeing as you're an enemy, it's unlikely

Price would literally just leave you for dead in the same position, Ghost too. Soap might move you out of the way of harm but that's it - if he isn't hellbent on the mission and too far gone there

They are really not these sweet puppies or lapdogs - they're just doing their job and trying to save the world, no matter who gets in the way. And if you happen to be against them, that's too bad but they're not going to change their heart or mindset for a few hours of friendship

been thinking about this awhile .... my son made of slop
