My Sans OC's family, if the plot I gave her was happy~ 🤭✨O_O ... ... ... *screams* ~(>_<。)＼

You know how that feeling when, when the sketch feels better than the results, sighhh. I was too lazy to clean it up. (╯▽╰ )

Anyway, those three marshmallows, so cute, so adorably squishy!~ (❁´◡`❁) ✨

(this was gonna go on an ask but it derailed too much so here's my thoughts by themselves)

You know, I actually like how different areas do different things relating to powers.

NSR's area is more focused on the combination of powers, elementals, and technology.

JJK (at least the older cast brefore the timeskip) is way more focused on powers and elementals, especially on elementals, than it is on technology at all.

After the timeskip I would say it is still heavily focused on powers and elementals, but is added technology into the importance factor.

Psychonauts focused purely on a specific power set (psychics) but also on just the mind itself unlike all the rest who focus almost exclusively on the body with some mind aspects.

Spiderverse is heavily focused on powers and elementals by using technology. It's not combining the three together into some kind of harmony like NSR is.

Hi Fi Rush is purely focused on technology, with some powers being added into the fray but that is mainly because they are music enhanced powers (like what Mayday has).

Then Homestuck I think is going to be similar to NSR and post timeskip JJK. Putting emphasis on all three (power, tech, elementals) because it's supposed to be almost like an entirely different world from what it was 10 years ago. So this media is a combination of all the rest of the media coming together so long ago.

This train of thought came from someone saying HFR should have a media help out with the Tech Revolution. Which I actually really like a whole lot! I just don't have any media in mind at the moment. I'd want something focused on robots/or just tech in general.

I just definitely feel like HFR is the most underdeveloped part of the Eriverse at the moment. Need to push that story a bit more. Maybe I could just have Psychonauts and HFR combine some more (like the sentience of robots is now allowing for Psychonauts to enter robotic minds and so when Chai and Peppermint start the Tech Revolution the Psychonauts took a bigger role in the story? Maybe?).

Or I could just add a whole different media to the pot lol. For some reason I keep thinking Cyberpunk whatever the number was. Even though I know nothing about that game, like at all. Or I keep thinking Stray, which again, I know nothing about. But those are the ideas that I am thinking of when pondering what other media to add into the Eriverse to start focusing on HFR some more.

Can I be honest? It’s a little frustrating how much the fandom downplays Bruce and Dick’s father-son relationship.

Bruce has now had two instances of hallucinating an ideal life where he and Selina are together and Dick is his/their son (even calling him “Dad” in one of them!).

There are countless panels where they refer to each other with terms like “my son,” “like a son to me,” “my boy,” “my father,” “like a father to me,” and lately, “Dad.” Alfred has made it crystal clear that Dick is Bruce’s responsibility, not his. Alfred is a parental figure, but Bruce is Dick’s primary parent.

And the current canon has Bruce immediately acknowledge his role as Dick’s father, and expressing concerns about his lack of experience as a parent (because he cares about doing a good job, not because he regrets it or Dick! While his inexperience leads to mistakes, you can see that he’s trying his best to learn from them).

I know I've talked a lot about Alhaitham actually being one of the funniest characters in Genshin Impact, but every time I think about him, I find something new to laugh at.

Alhaitham's character stories and personal criticisms of Kaveh largely hinge on one specific point: That Kaveh's genius intellect and artistic abilities are incongruous with his idealism. Kaveh possesses more talent than a selfless person should reasonably have, leaving him vulnerable to constantly being taken advantage of.

However, Alhaitham states these complaints about Kaveh's personality while having the exact same problem himself.

Alhaitham is literally the definition of "personality and talents do not match." Sir, you are the pot calling the kettle black.

It's a given: Alhaitham is exceedingly competent. He is intelligent, rational, and capable of being impartial when needed. Despite being a slacker as the Akademiya's scribe, during his stint as the Acting Grand Sage, the game goes out of its way to note--in several places--that Alhaitham was actually going above and beyond what was expected of him, taking the position very seriously, uncovering and fixing major issues in the Akademiya, and demonstrating a deep care for the sanctity and future of the Akademiya as a whole when Sumeru's people's will to research and learn declined after the collapse of the Akasha.

By all accounts, Alhaitham is (was) a fantastic Grand Sage. Compared to Azar, who is shown as inherently self-aggrandizing and unconcerned with Sumeru's well-being, Alhaitham genuinely did his best during his brief time as Sumeru's leader, protecting students' research, concerning himself with how to address the people's problems, and even diving in to solve mysteries that normally would have been left for the matra. As Acting Grand Sage, we're told his behavior and judgments were fair, and he addressed problems immediately and with his full effort.

In short, there is literally no one else more qualified to be Grand Sage than Alhaitham.

And yet, despite possessing every talent needed to be the leader of a nation, Alhaitham doesn't have the personality for it. He has every single trait a good leader requires... And yet he refuses to be a leader. His own talent vastly exceeds the slow-paced life his personality leads him to seek, making his particular abilities more incongruous with his values than Kaveh's--by a mile. People keep trying to promote him into positions of leadership because his talents are so obvious, and yet he does everything in his power to deny his own abilities and instead fly under the radar--and under the level of his full potential too.

Awful hypocritical for you to claim Kaveh's talents don't match his personality when yours match even less, Alhaitham...

TELEMACHUS AND ANTINOUS. FINALLY

I am absolutely begging people to stop treating nazism as their big, bad blorbo caricature they can just invoke when they're mildly irritated about people who (they think) have Bad Opinions.

Nazism is not just "any time a Bad Guy does Bad Things." Nazism is not your final jojo stand you can invoke to win discussions or debates. It is a real life ideology that is intrinsically linked to the radical antisemitism it espouses and ignoring that is fundamentally harmful to the point of being radically antisemetic.

Since this is on-topic, I've been reading People Love Dead Jews (I am on chapter two), and I think downplaying nazism is absolutely part of de-emphasizing and reprioritizing antisemitism to make it about everything else but the antisemitism. When nazism is everything, then it can't be fundamentally antisemetic. You won't have to acknowledge that jews are the primary target of nazis and nazism if nazis are everything else. It's not a coincidence, especially seeing how many jews people call nazis. This is part of the dead jew that people love - if your eye is turned away from the fact that jews both exist still and are affected by violence and oppression, you get to say, "the jew is dead!".

Regardless, you will never live in a world without us**

Every disabled person deserves several million dollars to build or renovate their perfectly accessible ideal home I am not even joking. I would dismantle the us military in a heartbeat and give millions of dollars to every disabled and/or unhoused person so that they can have a home they love.

Don't quite know how to put this but there are certain story beats that, in order for me to actually like/admire the story, specifically have to be accomplished without being a big deal.

Like, does your story present ordinary, mundane, even ridiculous people as possessing worth and dignity? Cool. Does it pat itself on the back about doing that? Unfortunately, that has circled back around to patronizing.

Does your character make the lives of bit characters and nameless bystanders a priority, even when it distracts them from Important Plot Things? Nice! Does your character make a big production of/express a lot of angst about doing that? This only barely edges out "leaving them to die" in terms of my respect for said character.

Ordinary people are just as valuable and important as Our Heroes. But the narrative should have enough conviction about that to take it for granted, and let the audience catch up if need be. A Hero should definitely take it for granted, unless they're still in the process of becoming heroic.

Otherwise, I'm left with the sneaking suspicion that the writers don't really see this themselves.

I really like that they made Jor-El speak Kryptonian and Clark unable to understand him. The whole "aliens speak English" thing that happens in every goddamn media has bothered me all my life. Ik sometimes Clark just gets zapped in the brain for insta-second language but that always felt like a cheap shortcut.

Jor-El had a lot on his mind when he set up that magic spaceship okay. The world was ending and he was trying to do as much as he could before time ran out so he could be there for his son. He was rushing. He likely didn't consider Kal would be raised with a whole different language and not know any Kryptonian nor have anyone to teach him.
