Every time I watch Dune I forget about it but I'm foaming at the mouth over how Paul has a vision of himself as a powerful, respected, divine figure with millions worshipping him and he just says "Somebody help me"

why would valtteri want to return to the toxic work environment that is mercedes and why does toto talk about his employees like this 😐

[quesocheeso]

wukong my poor guy.. no matter the universe he just cannot escape the cheating allegations 😔

i wonder how he'll react in the 3 am au about it, if he finds out about it. feel offended? or maybe mac makes a thowaway comment about it (pretending not to care but also gauging to see if its true from wukong's reaction) wukong might feel hurt mac would assume so? but also not sure how to show just how ridiculous that is, because oh no, that means he'll have to open the feelings box. ho ho the potential.

Throwing this out cause it’s kinda funny

But is it really cheating allegation if you’re not really together together y’know

Like there’s no actual commitment that’s stoping him from going out with someone else, so it’s not like it’s not possible

They’re not married like my other au so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it could happen

I think outwardly he wouldn’t show any hurt towards Macaque insinuating it, but inside he would be offended, but like he gets it in a way, like he doesn’t know what Macaque does 24/7 but he sure hasn’t pulled up with a random kid that shares his magical essence to a tea without the guy being a celestial monkey(which we know MK is a stone monkey that was born from the same stone as Wukong but like that’s later on) and instead is a normal mortal🤨

Like idk bout you but I’d be sideeying a guy tooo

I don’t think Wukong would be trying to justify it to Macaque but actually be proclaiming how ridiculous it is and also start questioning MK’s origin far earlier than in canon

Standard shonen endings have rotted some people's brains. I've seen so many dudebros disappointed that Izuku didn't at the very least "bag his girl" as some sort of reparation for losing his quirk. And so much Ochako slander for "ghosting" Izuku for 8 years for being quirkless (not true btw, leak mistranlastion) because she wasn't explicitly Izuku's endgame love interest in typical shonen fashion. I even saw a tweet doing crazy numbers (70k+ likes) suggesting that Izuku should've gotten with Hatsume because at least she spent 8 years working on his suit....? Ask yourself why you feel like Izuku needed a canon love interest post-time skip to be happy. And then ask yourself why you hate women and view them as the MC's "much-deserved" reward for saving the day.

This is a Saizo appreciation blog, even with that personality of his.

I think the most ironic part of the Nest and the power balance between Riko and Jean, Kevin, and Neil is that out of the four of them, Kevin is arguably the only one not an owned man.

Neil and Jean were given to the Moriyamas, but Kevin was raised as the child of a late colleague. Over the course of the story the only person really coming after Kevin was Riko, the Moriyamas family really had no interest in whether he remained a Raven until Neil came into the picture.

Kevin could, and did, walk away from Edgar Allen, and Neil was never required to stay there by anything other than Riko's seemingly unaffiliated blackmail, the only interest the main family had was in the potential profit of their careers. The Nest was never a prison made for them, and in the end it even let go of Jean, but Riko could never leave.

If Riko decided he'd had enough of the Ravens and tried to transfer out to another team like the others, he wouldn't be able to. If he decided he wanted any other life than what he was given, he couldn't have it. Riko was trapped in the Nest in a much more permanent way.

Riko spent his whole life convincing Kevin that he was property not of the Moriyamas specifically, but of the Nest, because that's what Riko was. Kevin was the first to leave, but Riko never did.

Lowkey never not thinking about this, actually.

Clark & Martha In Superman: Birthright (2003) #2

[mermaidslabyrinth]

My OC Rhagerys Targaryen with the two people who he would do anything and everything for.

His younger half sisters, Baela and Rhaena. They mean the world to him. They are his weakness but also his strength to keep going. He is their big brother and has been taught to protect them at all costs.

The way I see the three are as the sun, moon, and stars. Rhaena is the Sun. Along with her dragon Morning. Baela is the Moon. Along with her dragon Moondancer. Rhagerys is the Stars. Along with his dragon Starsong. Each are present in one another's lives but in such different ways that people forget that they're connected to one another. That in some way they always will be.

This gorgeous artwork was done by the wonderfully talented @lonelymagpies. They did such marvelous job. The hair, the clothing, the jewels, their looks.

Also a special thank you to @dr-aegon. They reblogged a post mentioning that lonelymagpies was doing commissions. So, thanks to them, I was able to have this artwork created.

Aegon, allegedly: “my sister is the heir, not me. What kind of brother steals his sister’s birthright?”

Aegon, five minutes later: my sister is a traitor and I want her dead NOW. Oh, her son had been murdered while acting as a diplomatic envoy? Well done brother, what an excellent start! Let’s throw a feast to celebrate!

brainstorming some ideas I have for a Telemachus spin-off

[wesavegotham]

"Damian shouldn't be Batman because he was told it's his birthright, so he doesn't deserve it"

...I mean, let's be real nobody is ever going to replace Bruce as Batman, DC will nuke their continuity before that happens so why do people keep asking who will replace him, but also, that is not quite true?

In some stories DAMIAN thinks he's entitled to the cowl, but except for two not main continuity stories by Tom Taylor where Bruce dies (DCeased and Batman One last day: Ra's al Ghul) I really don't recall Bruce ever saying to Damian that he wants or expects him to be Batman after him. Either because he believes he will doom them all (Morrison run), expects him to be a hero who knows how to take care of the stuff Bruce will leave to him, but never says he wants him to be Batman (Batman and Robin 2011), created a cloning machine so nobody but Bruce will need to be Batman (Snyder's Batman run) or because he pretty much forgot/ignored Damian existence (pretty much everything between 2018 and 2021).

And Ra's and (modern, not classic) Talia wanting him to be Batman makes little sense either because they want an heir for the league of assassins to take over because the lazarus pits might stop working for Ra's. Batman is mostly focused on Gotham, their plans are about the world. It wasn't their goal to raise the next protector of Gotham.

In Pre New 52 and then in New 52 continuity Damian wasn't even told who his father was until he was ten.

Thinking he should become the next Batman was Damian's own idea.

Every time Merlin says “I use my magic for you” to Arthur, in canon or in fic, I die a little. My dude you should be using magic for YOUR PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING SLAUGHTERED MY DUDE!!!

Give me a Merlin who doesn’t wield his magic for the throne. Give me a Merlin who actually fully commits to the treason against the kingdom oppressing his people. And give me a Merlin full of delicious angst knowing he is actively betraying someone he loves and doing it anyways. Knowing that each willful betrayal is another premeditated knife in Arthur’s back.

Give me a Merlin fully committed to becoming Arthur’s enemy if need be, even though it kills him

I miss...giorno giovanna.

im thinking a lot about his complex role as a healer. his stand isn't meant to heal, he essentially brute forces it, which fits for the kind of person he is vs Josuke. furthermore, giorno is very self sacrificing in a very literal sense. he loses multiple body parts over the course of part 5 and just has to remake them. there's a ship of Theseus paradox here though I dont think THAT much of him was remade.

after the white album fight, mista tells him that their victory will be all of them surviving together as giorno once again tries to sacrifice himself. he takes this to heart, but soon afterwards its proven that this cannot always happen. His healing isn't enough. he can only give Bruno a little more time. and his reaction when bruno tells him this says everything.

Keeping everyone alive is his role, and he spends the early days of the part being given shit for being a newcomer, so having a solidified sense of usefulness only to have it swiped away so quickly when his stand cannot save his comrades is rough.

golden experience requiem is interesting in this context because its main purpose is protecting him from any and all harm. giorno has again, spent the entire part going through jojo typical levels of body horror, gore, etc, with the added benefit that he can remake limbs and chunks of flesh so they can do a lot worse to the part 5 cast and have them live. so in one sense, GER is a reward of sorts. he endured all that and his reward is never getting hurt again.

But at the same time, it's cruel irony that even with one of the most powerful stands in the world, its capabilities are on protecting him and no other. im sure that his enhanced capabilities make it easier of course, but the idea that he could still be too late will forever remain. whug.
