#he's serving count

[records-of-a-slacker]

so you know how WS mentions not being able to taste stuff or something along those lines? Like that is miserable but what does that mean for Cale? Aside from starving for so much of his life he literally can't even properly enjoy the taste of food to the fullest. Sure maybe the curse is like watered down a little on his end compared to WS but like it's still there. So I HC that as KRS he liked really flavorful food, esp. spicy food since they're the only ones that actually kinda stand out to him in terms of taste you know. So now you have this guy who eats everything with a giant bucket of gochujang piled on top and chili flakes like it's normal while even his fellow countrymen question him.

Idk I just thought of how happy he was about eating good food when he woke up as Cale and really praising Beacrox and like. what if aside from how its fancy food compared to what he usually eats it's literally the first time he's ever PROPERLY tasted food. Thinking about how satisfied he was with his food that his family noticed and how he's finally enjoying food and akjbkdkadbakdjkw

JULIEN DE SAINT-JEAN as ANDRÉ DE VILLEFORT in Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (2024)

joe!!! he’s so :D!

wait, what’s that behind him?

ah. oh god. the horrors. oh. oh no. uh. okay. maybe. maybe we back away slowly. or quickly, dealer’s choice.

(epilepsy warning I do turn layers on and off a lot) This bad boy gets a timelapse, because I ended up scrapping quite a few things in the process of making it! The puppets were a fun idea but, alas, only etho worked well with the color palette.

More hermit hat atelier! joe was relegated to “ehh i dunno he lives in the swamp and plays with puppets” for a while but Now. oooh now he’s got Lore >:]. And also he lives in the swamp and plays with puppets.

Despite appearances, he is genuinely quite friendly, even though he’s a literal hermit. Most of the Brims avoid him for one reason or another, so he’s found ways to keep himself company. While he isn’t as active as a Brim anymore, he still holds the title of Ink, one-third of the leaders of the Brims. Although, with Evil Xisuma in charge, it’s really just a title.

While I love people’s own adaptations of what Agent Stone would look like as a character from the games, I feel some of them miss the mark whenever they have him looking too devious or sinister, or generally just as eccentric as Eggman.

Part of his appeal in his original appearance (imo) is the contrast of his completely professional demeanor to Robotnik’s eccentricity and over-the-top antics. It’s what makes it so good, mad scientist wanting to detonate a speedy blue rodent with missiles and lasers & his secretary that makes him coffee and always maintains his composure & professionalism despite the fact that his boss is crazy.

And yet he is utterly enthralled by Robotnik’s eccentricity, and is utterly loyal to a fault because of it. He’s an utter sycophant.

Like, I don’t think he would be maniacally laughing alongside Eggman. Because that supposes them as equals– they’re not, and he likes it that way. I think he’d be organizing Badnik patrols while Eggman focuses on larger schemes. Polishing up Metal Sonic’s paint job before sending him out on the doctor’s orders. Adjusting the volume levels while Eggman delivers his speeches to world leaders. And, of course, making him a a latte while he razes the land with a fleet of battleships and machines.

I have come to the mildly horrifying realization rrverse apollo would Absolutely be into astrology

like,,, a peek into how the human mind tries to rationalize and interpret the unknown and the tendency for patterns and categorizing?? looking to the world through a poetic and romantic lens and seeing connections and omens in everything?? shamelessly vague interpretative predictions of the future?? the chance to be a troll and Annoying about it??? space????

be ffr now

like on one hand noo my scientific king and on the other hand what are you talking about this shit IS science to him, he lives in a world where humanity's stories about their understanding of the world is the core power system this is his fucking field of study, a chance to indulge in it openly and not raise suspicion for his superficial facade???? he'd be All Over That

[fealtyslut]

let's all think about roman literally on his knees at gerri’s feet, begging to be saved. but you can’t be saved from Logan, that’s the whole point, he is a planet of a person he’s a black hole he is every decision already made. gerri tries to get him to see this — there’s no way out, no move they could possibly make against him, because Logan. always. wins. maybe if roman could give her one reason to fight for him, but there aren’t any. it’s pointless. it has nothing to do with roman, really, and everything to do with the harsh reality that Logan is the center of their universe. but all that nuance is completely lost on roman, because in that room he is seven years old again and always. and when she asks how it serves her interests, what she is saying is show me a way out, but what he hears is that she doesn't care about him. and maybe she never did.

Does anyone else think about that one shot of Viren and Soren looking at each other right before Viren decides to tell Soren that the very visible giant pamphlet of paper in his hand is nothing and that he wasn’t planning on giving him anything.

And how despite there being a literal barrier of bars representing a symbolic separation between the two of them from actually getting through to each other and connecting, in that one shot it’s so clear they both absolutely see each other.

Soren knows Viren is lying. Soren knows Viren’s putting on a brave face for him. That there’s something else he’s carrying that he’s not willing to put on Soren’s back.

And Viren knows Soren is skeptical. Even worse, he knows he cares and is concerned about him despite pretending not to when what he’s literally trying to do is avoid putting more emotional weight on him. But him simply being there is doing that to Soren. And he knows that part too.

Soren can see Viren start to lose control of his composure and hardly contain his tears when he asks Viren what he needs from him. And Viren can sense Soren's gaze repeatedly softening and hardening and softening as he watches him and that just makes it all the worse for him to remain in control of himself.

But neither one of them acknowledges the other’s sight.

There is never, ever, a direct confrontation between them regarding their individual feelings towards each other or acknowledgment of each other's feelings. Even in Soren's final ask for Viren’s help. But it’s so clear that they both know what the other is feeling in every moment that they are together in season 6. And it's almost like watching an act too of them endlessly avoiding the big question and putting on all these different faces around each other except the ones that represent how, at their deepest cores, they truly feel.

They act like complete, total strangers, but they seem to know each other so much better there than they ever did before.

And just like... no wonder Soren is so scared to attempt to reconnect emotionally with Lissa or Claudia. His father had the perfect opportunity to, when they knew each other the most, and he refused to take it on the pretense that in order to allow for Soren to be strong he needs to be strong too—completely twisting what the message of only sharing information with someone if it will help strengthen them is actually saying and applying it to his own situation only to affirm his already established vices.

I'm convinced Kashimo is supposed to be the representative of gojo's inner feelings and thoughts.

For a number of reasons..

Reason number 1:

The similar appearance.

The fact that making two characters look similar is a very common way for mangakas to indicate that these characters have the same values and the same way of thinking or even a similar role (or a character arc).

An example that comes to mind is Bakugo and Kudo from my hero academy:

This happens A LOT in anime & manga and I'm pretty sure that gege wanted us to think of Gojo whenever we see Kashimo.

Interesting colors Gege👀

With blue eyes, and the the kanji for purple cloud in his surname

He even has the frog face

TWINS

Reason number 2:

I think Kashimo is basically Gojo but with more freedom, he can be feral whenever he wants and he even kills people.

And that's why he always ends up expressing what we know Gojo is thinking but isn't speaking out loud.

And once you see it you can't unsee it.

Here are some examples:

Gojo appears to be having such a great time, that Yuji wonders if he's thinking of Megumi at all. and Kashimo Starts acting as though he's relieving Satoru of the guilt of enjoying himself in this situation???

(This panel is actually what opened my third eye and made me theorize that maybe Kashimo is meant to tell us what Satoru isn't saying)

And I wasn't disappointed with the next chapters...

He's the only one that gets Satoru here.

Also there's this interesting thing here:

"Kashimo vs Sukuna!! Facing off in their true forms!!"

I find it interesting that Sukuna only turned into his true form after he killed Satoru...

It's like he only came forth after Satoru's "true" form (Kashimo) came out idk idk.

And the fact that he used the weapon Yorozu gave him on Kashimo. Hmmm

Reason number 3:

Gege always draws a connection between them.

Satoru's fight and Kashimo's are treated as one..

After Satoru died; the Kashimo fight starts immediately, and he gets killed in two chapters.

He gets to talk about love and loneliness with Sukuna after he died (we didn't get that with gojo it went to Kashimo)

The fight of the strongest is over.

We cut to Kenjaku's fight.

Gege literally made a character whose only goal was to fight Sukuna then he killed him in a single chapter.

That tells me gege only made him for that conversation about love 🤷‍♀️

The conclusion:

(This is what made me make this post in the first place 🤭)

If we accept that Kashimo is the representative of Gojo's inner self then...

We can safely assume that Gojo would've thought the following regarding Sukuna's true form:

(He's Using a special kind of visual prowess too...)

Think about it...

What Kashimo was saying about people being like dirt to him was kind of bad.

If that was truly how Gojo views people then I bet he was feeling guilty about it, no wonder he didn't say that shit to anyone.

He told Geto he views them as a flower. Satoru I love you T_T

(Gojo relating more to curses than humans walk with me) that's why he gets freaky with them.

But Viewing humans as nothing, and on top of that admiring the king of curses??? and calling him Perfection??? Beautiful even???

Nah.. Nanami was right this mf Satoru is a jujutsu pervert😭😭

Like.....

This is the conversation they were having after they saw him fight...

Gege Why are you bringing it up now indeed

Hmmmmmmmm

Yknow, the only thing I knew about EOM before going into it was the ship between Lethica and Marius (tho I didn’t know the characters names, just the ship between them via fanart), and I had kinda written it off as “oh, hot boi x hot girl, okay”.

(Spoilers up to episode 11 under cut)

But then I started watching EOM. And with the mixture of their personalities blending well together, the constant back and forth with “I agree with Marius” “I agree with Lethica”, the literal Darkness x Light trope (granted, mostly it’s because of their respective gods, but still), and just. Specific moments.

Like Lethica paying attention to what Marius ate for breakfast the previous morning, and took some with her to give to him when he caught back up to them after his conversation with the High Inquisitor, or Marius somehow fucking reviving Lethica (despite not having the Revivify spell available to him at their current level), and their hug afterwards??? I just.

I get it now. I mean, I started getting it by the time they cleansed the Crooked House, but now? I’m fucking loving this ship. It is just. Amazing. I love it.

Zach and Ruben are the type of couple to argue about when their anniversary is and their compromise is just to celebrate it on a different day every year but they both pick a different day each time so technically it happens twice.

you gonna do anything about the drama between your devotees

I know not of what you speak; and if I did, what then? I travel now to Varna, from whose harbor I shall sail for England. Am I to be drawn from my course by such childishness?

[telesodalite]

Been thinking about idw1's outliers lately, and how sort of wild the whole concept is from a worldbuilding standpoint, and it struck me that most confirmed outlier abilities tend to be really useful, or flashy, or powerfully dangerous, and few to none tend to be like, really boring, or totally impractical, or even entirely useless? Which, doesn't really make sense when considering the fact that outlier abilities are seemingly random.

Surely not everyone who's born an outlier gets something useful?

And I don't mean like, "good" useful, but any sort of useful, even if that means you can kill people with your voice, or give a power boost by exploding yourself, those are still "useful".

But surely there had to be some with abilities that were totally impractical, or nonbeneficial, or at the very least just insignificant or purely aesthetic and pointless?
