#hm. feel bad

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.
#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it#not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any#but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening -#there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation#so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader#it has to be there in some form or other

Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
something that's just been on my mind recently!
#cult of the lamb#cotl#cult of the lamb fanart#cotl lamb#cotl fanart#my art#the Lamb is Definitely directing this at Neves but I did not feel like drawing a comic. this was more of a fun exercise#also this song is very Neves-coded. Hahah. Hm.#note: the 'carcass' line here is just slightly altered from the actual lyrics in this song#obsessed with the idea that the Lamb underneath all that is an incomprehensible mass of cosmic horror that both disgusts and delights#also tumblr nerfed the quality so bad on this pls

Headcanon that Dust absolutely resents how much he resembles Classic. There are elements of this back in Dusttale, with how Dust prefers to hide his face and identity while building his LV, but this is more out of practicality (and even shame) than anything else. He doesn’t want his victims to recognize him because it’ll make it harder for him to sneak up on people, and a part of him really doesn’t want them to know that he was the one who killed him. The longer this goes on, the more his disguise transforms from a way of hiding his shame to a way of distancing himself from who he used to be. Sans would never kill all those people, but he isn’t Sans anymore. He’s not really a person anymore, he is the act of murder itself. He is Dust.
I think this would get way worse when Dust leaves his AU and enters the multiverse though, because right off the bat he encounters murderers, just like him… who don’t look innocent. Horror, Killer and even Cross are set completely apart from who they used to be. They are scarred and twisted and nightmarish. Looking at them doesn’t trigger memories of a happier, innocent past. They have renamed themselves, taken on a new identity - but for them, this change was physical as well. No one will ever mistake them for Sans.
So Dust wears his hood. He hides his face. He keeps his magic burning constantly, because if he stops his eyes will darken and there will be nothing setting him apart from the monster who died, years ago, the first time a knife ripped through his chest. The others realize it, too… Horror probably wouldn’t care either way. Cross would understand the desire to distance oneself from an old identity, but would ultimately be in a similar boat as Horror. Killer would bring this up to taunt Dust once he realized it bothered him - and would quickly get bored with it. Ultimately, the others would just accept Dust’s refusal to show his face, his hatred of his own voice and reflection, as part of who he is.
I like to imagine that one day, the gang get into a serious combat. It’s vicious and close; both sides are bloody and exhausted by the time it’s over. If one side wins, it’s by a hair, and not much of a victory. In the dazed silence following the battle, Nightmare slowly assesses each of his acolytes, ensuring that they are still alive and intact. When he reaches Dust, he pauses. The assassin is bloodied, slumped over. His HP is steady but low; he’s taken a lot of hits - more than most monsters would have been able to survive. His hand vanishes beneath his hood, carefully inspecting his face. That night, back at the castle, Dust steps in front of a mirror. He takes a deep breath and, for the first time in years, removes his hood to look his reflection in the eye. The combat left deep wounds across his face, injuries that would never heal completely, that would leave him permanently scarred.
Dust looks at his battered reflection and smiles.
#I know this headcanon is hardly original#but I love it so much I had to write about it#I mean really#the guy wears a hood full time#most of the time you can’t make out any of his features#he does that for a reason#I also love the idea that eventually he does get scarred or something and if it’s a more wholesome situation with the others#they are concerned about it#but he’s actually so happy he doesn’t look like sans anymore#he’d still wear the hood and everything probably but wouldn’t feel as bad if it dropped#hm I want to write more about him#I have so much to say#that’s it for tonight though#dust sans#dusttale#cross xtale#killer sans#horror sans#bad sanses#murder time trio#they all show up anyway#utmv#utmv headcanons#madbard rambles

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.
#pjo#percy jackson#nico di angelo#Percy shows up at CJ and squints at Nico like ''hm. why do i feel like i hate you? like i just wanna punch you in the face?''#and Nico just immediately goes ''huh no idea anyways i have to go-'' and jumps into Tartarus#but not before he gives Hazel essentially a detailed explanation of ''this is Percy i cant say much but please dont let him die <3''#and Nico's whole Tartarus trip was basically a whole ''im doing this so no one else has to''#only for Percy and Annabeth to fall in like one book later and Nico proceeds to spend the next book internally screaming about it#and then Cupid calls him out on it and the next book#Nico's just like ''at this point im hoping i keel over within the next week just so i can force this dumb crush to chill the fuck out''#Nico staring pointedly at Will: ''For my own sake i need to form another crush RIGHT NOW so i can finally get over Percy.''#''this has been so bad for my health''#Nico's crush on Percy is just too funny to me. horrible pick my guy. terrible job. love that for you. he could not be less interested.#Percy LITERALLY TRIES TO KILL NICO and ditch him in the underworld and Nico is somehow STILL like ''but i love him''#Percy basically chokes him. beats up his dad. tells him ''go get smited by your dad for me.'' and ditches him.#and Nico's opinions/crush on him DO NOT CHANGE#though also Nico's reaction to Percy beating up his dad + skeletons is SO funny. his jaw is on the floor. he's flustered about it.#he just witnessed Percy be incredibly hot and proceeded to go ''yea i'll do anything for this man. collect reinforcements of 3 gods? sure''#nico you absolute DISASTER with HORRIBLE TASTE. you can do better. raise your standards.#which tbh is funnier when you factor in sun and the star. Nico just wont stop crushing on guys who dislike him and everything he stands for

i love it when a tv show has lows that are so low you're so ashamed to ever show it to anyone ever but then highs that melt your brain a bit, like, "good fucking god, this is genuinely such an astounding piece of craftmanship... my perception of the medium, and perhaps of myself, has been challenged/changed in 40 minutes" but you cant even express that to ppl without feeling like youre fucking deranged bc my god the lows .....
#Egg.txt#sorry i saw gar watched Hush recently and like#my god thats such a good episode of television . like sincerely fucking solid. like damn man.#and theres other eps of buffy i'd rank among that i.e a certain s5 episode that just still gives me chills to think about#but this also goes for trek + doctor who + farscape + and any and every lame little campy show out there#that just needs to fuck your head wide open sometimes#maybe that why i have enjoyed bsg but i havent like fucking Melded with it yet because its highs and its lows are both there but it doesnt#ever touch the extremes of either#i need something so so bad and so so good at once that makes mefeel like im insane#god i might go rewatch some tos soon#but yeah ok abt bsg maybe its alsojust#laccking a sincerity to it sometimes#and not just in how its a darker/grittier#but just in general i feel like .........hm. idk..#let me ponder

i think it's so fitting that the banana fish fandom is so enraged over and in denial about ash's death because it so perfectly mirrors eiji as the audience insert
the idea of 'he could have healed if he lived' when that's literally eiji's mindset. he could have flown ash to japan and kept him safe and made him all better. and when he can't it eats him alive
i think in another world ash would have been happy in japan. but i think it still would have eaten eiji alive how badly ash's past still haunts him
#maybe eiji is not intentionally the audience insert but he feels that way to me#fills that fantasy of being the beautiful tortured bad boy's one soft spot#of being the only person able to get through to him despite his damage#or maybe that says more about me. hm. idk#banana fish#asheiji#ash lynx#eiji okumura

Can someone give me a reason why all the Dalish just accept that the elven gods are the evanuris and tyrannical evil mages??
Are you telling me that my devout Trevelyan Inquisitor went up to them, told them "your gods are really evil mages lol" and they...believed them?!
#a reason outside of bad writing#I mean#lmao they'd tell my Trevelyan to eat shit#they'd think my Lavellan had been indoctrinated#the inquisition is a religious organisation?! the same religion that led a crusade against the elves?!!#that entire section in the first mission of the game made me go 'hm...okay'#I feel like I'm yammering on like a crazy person#datv spoilers#bioware critical#dragon age the veilguard#datv critical

/ORV SPOILERS/
one thing i cant pinpoint about Kim Dokja is his view on himself. Its either he full on hates himself.
or
he has the causal disinterest in himself. Where, yeah he doesn't /hate/ himself. (dislike maybe?) but if he could be someone else that would be better. if he was a better person. wouldn't he be more lovable that way? like that odd feeling where you look at others and think...if only i was that funny/that good looking/ that popular... like its not full on hate but if you think about yourself for too long your self disgust starts to show. and you get sad and 'im so unlovable' (thinking of where all of kimcom talk around the fire about the house.. and kdj starts to question if someone like him deserves it... -hmmm ill have to go back and reread that to make sure thats true.) "wouldn't it be better if I was someone else?/I want to be someone else." > 49% <
on my reread i noticed the decline of his thoughts towards himself really starts to show during in the Demon Realm arc. Where his "I am Yoo Joonghyuk." habit is fully revealed. Which is super fucking sad actually. To have so little confidence in yourselves to the point where you need to act like someone else to speak up for yourself
banging my head against a wall... Kim Dokja i love you. im sorry for threatening to put you in a blender. please live a good life..
#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv spoilers#orv novel#kim dokja#kdj#hm on secound thought#i dont feel that bad about wanting to put him in a blender#yoo joonghyuk#>tagging yjh bc of “i am yjh” mention#also i think he deserves to be tagged#hsy too#and yoosangah#all of kimcom deserved to be tagged#come get your guys freak pls

mouthwashing features a mc who rapes and impregnates a woman and then crashes a spaceship full of innocent people to cover that fact up when the news gets out to the ppl she confides in and the captain tells her her assaulter wouldn't do that because he "knows him" and the mc pretends like it never happened as he is haunted by the images of his lies and deceit and cowardice and the image of his unborn child and the sound of a child's cries and the captain who failed to act cannot move himself or feed himself or speak for himself or defend himself when the mc attacks him and berates him and blames him for every lie he's ever told as the captain loses every scrap of autonomy he has left. but yeah it's about fucking. capitalism and yaoi. whatever i guess
#rape tw#tw#pulls at my hair i just feel like theres so many stories about SA that revolve around and are so obviously about SA that people just want to#ignore#it means a lot to me#what a tragic and haunting and sickening story where sa is so... forward#the entire story is about autonomy - and the lack of it#from curly feeling like hes stuck in the role as captain and has no choice if he stays or goes#to jimmy and what he did to anya#to anya and her pregnancy#and curlys end of life state#jimmy attacked anya but he stole the autonomy of the entire crew and you see every step from his eyes. terrifying#i wish things can be processed as more than just... male feelings and men kissing. that's all. anya deserves better.#this isnt even scratching the title being mouthwashing which is obviously referencing the cargo but is also alluding to the action#usually the punishment#of washing one's mouth with soap after theyve said 'a bad word'#i wonder who it was in the story that said something to some particular people that ended in them being punished... hm....#anyway.#my soapbox

Mcr, that one band where people get sad about voting on which member we like the most and which album we like the most, bc all the members are equally important and all albums are equally important so we try to figure out other ways to decide what we like the most, bc we suck at choosing between the four albums and the four members
#always have a hard time choosing between the members and between the albums#but i tend to say gerard bc im a fan of his solo music and his comics and his weird ass vibes#but then i feel bad bc if i enjoy the rest equally as well within the context of mcr#and then im like “damn :((( i wish i could've picked all of them though :((( ”#whilst with the albums#im like “okay i love bullets some of my coping songs™️ are on there”#“but revenge hits the hardest emotionally”#“and tbp is the best sonically and feels the most cohesive somehow”#“but danger days has my favourite songs”#“tho revenge feels more representative of mcr”#“but so does tbp but in a different way”#“hm. imma pick tbp since it's the one i pick when i get violently back into the mcr mood™️”#“if i enjoy.” i just meant “i enjoy” fuckass “if”#the way all members of mcr means something to me cant be understated. all of them have shaped me as a person. all of them have inspired 1/2#me in one way or another#mcr#my chemical romance#gerard way#mikey way#frank iero#ray toro#mcr gerard way#mcr ray toro#mcr frank iero#mcr mikey way#mcr my beloved

Miraculous had 5 seasons to try and turn Gabriel/Hawkmoth into a good, interesting or at the bare minimum a convincing threat but I feel like, even despite all of the brand new lore and backstory, his impact is pretty meaningless when at the end of the day he is going to be facing off against Ladybug and not someone else who'd make infinitely more sense for him to be battling against.
Hawkmoth really has no business thinking Ladybug is his greatest enemy when his own incompetence is the only thing he has ever battled against and Ladybug's gripe with Hawkmoth has more to do with the fact that she can't live her normal teenager life because she was chosen to be responsible to stop him. There's absolutely nothing that connects the two besides the fact that Hawkmoth wants her miraculous and the fact that they are both connected to Adrien somehow.
There's no clashing ideologies that are put at the forefront, they are in no way foils, Hawkmoth's "noble" motive of resuscitating his wife is impossible to root for because he spends the rest of the show being utter shit to his son so you can't convince anybody that he's a good person who deserves to be rewarded. The fact that at the end he's going to be rewarded with anonymity, a wish come true and his son never once being able to learn about anything about his deeds, all to make the showdown about how Hawkmoth and Ladybug have always been destined to fight against one another... it's just so silly.
The show really is a monument to wasted potential because how do you miss the chance to make it at least the kind of show that you'd recommend wholeheartedly because at least "the ending is good", and instead opt for the silliest kind of undeserved ending for the bad guy? It's seriously kind of depressing.
And to top it all off, the show actually gave Ladybug a formidable foe in Felix/Argos but then tossed that storyline away over... Lila??? Man.
#miraculous ladybug#ml spoilers#miraculous spoilers#ml leaks#I dont even think it's ml salt because I'm not angry but instead just SO disappointed#Ladybug is such a cool character in theory but in practice they just keep doing her disservice after disservice#she deserved a worthwhile villain to fight against and she deserved to be more involved in the search fo HM's identity so the final fight#wouldnt feel so absolutely devoid of meaning and reason besides “shes the good one he's the bad one”#it's just so dumb that adrien doesnt have a say in his life either like shit
