thoughts on fandoms treating characters with a heavily fictionalized form of split personality as if they canonically have DID?
like DID doesnt fucking do this
You mean you don't do a magical girl sailor moon transformation when you switch?
I don't know, sounds sus, friendo
Your eyes should at least change colour, how else do you know who's fronting?
#but in all seriousness#this is a major problem#these highly fictionalized characters from both cartoon/anime and live action affect public perception more than people know#like you might think “psh it's just a show”#but that stuff is damaging when it's the only exposure to the CONCEPT of fragmented identities that a layperson has#saying “yeah that's DID in a nutshell” about certain portrayals isn't enough info for singlets and those outside our communities#and we often end up looking “crazier” and less believable#I've been quoting the isstd treatment guidelines lately#with the quote that clinicians “incorrectly assume that DID has a highly florid presentation” and media plays a huge part in that#imo any good representation about DID would be boring as shit#i don't get super powers#my alters are just as bad at everything as i am even if they're supposed to be specialized

my second pass at a sonadow fankid. this time, it's a little more serious than the looney tune that is dawn lol.
this is 3. he was created by tails in an effort to develop the "ultimate defense system."
basically, tails was thinking back on how, during the forces war, eggman was able to conquer the world when sonic and shadow weren't around. and, well, he got a little worked up remembering that! he got mad! yeah--real mad!
so, tails did what all great minds do when they get mad, and he conducted some... let's say... unethical science experiments.
#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonadow#sonic oc#3 the hedgehog#scribbles#dawn the creature#maybe if shadow hadn't super destroyed the rest of the black arms he wouldn't have to deal with these#unwanted and previously unknown failsafe instincts that were hardcoded into his dna :/#cuz wouldn't you know it! super powerful aliens don't like it when they get wiped out and will do anything they can to survive!#which includes INTENSE parental instincts#tails did not account for this. of course#also only now am i realizing 3 :handshake: prism = tails' hubris

"Realistically an 8/9/10/whatever year old couldn't do that" yeah alright that's true but we're talking about Dick Grayson who is unrealistically hypercompetent full stop because he's a superhero comics character. Bruce Wayne is also extremely unrealistically hypercompetent at basically everything except his own close personal relationships. Superhero comics are unrealistic.
#this isn't directed at anyone in specific and isn't meant to be aggressive btw#i just don't get the fixation on realism in a form of media that's defined by being fantastical#or why letting a child have that kind of fantasy power stretches believability more than an aduit having the equivalent#i'm not super attached to the idea of dick being robin that early or anything i just don't get the mindset#dick grayson#batman

On one hand I'm kinda sad we never got to see the 17 & 18 fusion '35' they teased at a few times, because yeah they're already good at fighting in unison and would be perfect fusion candidates
But on the other hand I feel like their fusion would have twice the apathy they individually have, and just be like 'well I don't see why any of this is my problem' and not even help out xD
#*fuses into over-powered character and immediately takes a seat on the sidelines* is a hilarious concept and I kinda love it#Krillin has to ask them very nicely to help out and eventually they're just 'ugh fiiiiiiiiiiiine'#ALTERNATIVELY they don't give a fuck about the fight until Krillin gets hurt and then it's murder time#actually a really good way to limit an over-powered character's usability in battle just give them an 'and why should I care?' personality#dragon ball#dragon ball z#dragon ball super#dbz#dbs#17#18#35#maybe I'll doodle 35 one day#it's hard getting the right balance of features when merging characters though

This book might as well be called So Your Deadbeat Vampire Dad Abandoned You: What Now?
Previous / Next
Helena, thinking: Well, if it’s just going to sit there, I might as well read the thing…
Introduction: Vampirism is no easy existence and will certainly not be long endured by the weak-willed, faint of heart, or squeamish. Fledglings who lack the knowledge or means to satisfy their all-consuming thirst and guard against their newfound weaknesses are far less likely to survive the initial stages of transformation, in which the craving for blood threatens to override all capacity for self-control. If they find themselves lucky enough to be under the tutelage of an intelligent and attentive sire, young vampires can not only mature but thrive for many centuries in their strange new forms. However, the presence of such a devoted mentor is not always guaranteed. Therefore, this book aims to serve as an instructional guide to attending to one’s needs and harnessing one’s abilities for those newly turned vampires who find themselves without a teacher.
Helena, thinking: Hmm, it's almost a little bit too on the nose.
Chapter 1: Dark Form Mastery
Helena, thinking: God, I feel ridiculous. Did it even work? It’d be nice if I could see my reflection right now.
Chapter 2: Bat Manifestation and Flight
Helena, thinking: Here goes nothing, I guess.
OW! OOF!
That’s going to take some practice.
#ts4#sims 4#sims 4 story#ts4 story#simblr#story: hzid#helena zhao#idk how obvious i've made it but helena's been stuck in her dark form since transforming#but in my interpretation it's more like super vampire mode than another form altogether#i see it as a switch inside vampires that flicks on when they attack or otherwise draw intensely on their powers but is usually off#but for new vampires it's activated a lot more because they're always in survival mode and helena didn't know how to turn it on/off at will#i hope that makes sense!#it's hard to get across visually bc the difference is so subtle and the details don't always show up

tired: the bats are so weird and creepy and everyone else is always so normal compared to them!
wired: impulse started fidgeting so hard he just started vibrating and clipped halfway through the floor and part of helen's foot before he realized what he was doing. this is just a normal tuesday
inspired: superman, superboy, and supergirl are sitting together in midair having a mild-mannered midwestern discussion as to which of their nonpowered combatant friends has the most fucked-up looking bones. several of said friends are in the room and really wish they wouldn't do this
#rimi talks#sorry every time i see a ''wow gotham is so weird and everyone else plays straightman'' post or fic i just#speedsters are walking bethesda glitches and supers are freaky powered aliens.#i haven't read as much amazon lore so i don't want to make Inaccurate Jokes but theres Definitely ways for them to be weird as fuck too#like im SURE there are theyre magic and also have superpowers#Everyone In This House Is Kind Of A Freak. All Of Them#constantly thinking abt becketts post of jon asking if he can look at bruce's fucked up skull#bc his dad says batman gets hit in the head nightly and now he's curious and wants to see#fucking devastating man laskdjflkdjs

Some scattered thoughts on Mario Tennis Aces
Warning: spoilers ahead
I love that every time any of the characters talk about the stakes, they're like "we've got to save Luigi! ... and the others I guess..." Even in the finale when they're doing a big tennis match to determine the fate of the world, Wario and Waluigi are booed by the crowd while Luigi... despite still being possessed by Lucien... gets cheered for and talked about in a positive light by the announcers.
What's also interesting is that Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser talk and act very much like their normal selves while possessed. They're being manipulated in some part, with Bowser saying that the racket's power makes him "want to control things more than usual," but it's clear Lucien is exploiting preexisting desires. Luigi, however, never says a word, and is fairly expressionless compared to the others. He is not being manipulated so much as he's been entirely robbed of his senses, turned more into a tennis playing puppet than a minion. But if you think about it... that aligns with the goals each of them had that caused them to take hold of Lucien. Wario and Waluigi wanted the power to defeat their enemies in tennis, and were granted that desire to the best of Lucien's abilities. Bowser wanted to take over the world, and Lucien actually went so far as to fuse with him so they could conquer as one entity.
Luigi wanted nothing more than to hold the pretty tennis racket, and for most of the story... at the sacrifice of every other part of him... he got exactly that.
#I really like the idea of mind control that actually rewards a desire for power#allowing the victim to maintain their senses so they can revel in ''their'' victory#if you don't want power? if you don't want to hurt your friends? You get turned into an empty vessel as a twisted form of mercy#Again I'm looking way too deep into a game that is 99% tennis and 1% plot#but I'm in too deep in general#and this game sorely lacks a proper ending cutscene so... *clicks pen* time to figure out some character motivations#mario tennis aces#super mario brothers#mario#luigi#wario#waluigi#super mario bros

#why do you need this many legs sir#toedscruel#woah holy shit i just looked outside and it's super dark out. i'm queuing this up at noon why is it so dark#lemme look#yeah it's. dark. there's a bunch of dark evil clouds in the sky lookin like it's gonna storm oh i just heard thunder yeah it's gonna storm#uh oh. good thing i'm queueing this guy up before the storm so my power doesn't go out. this happens frequently#anyway toedscruel. it's definitely an evolution of toedscool. it definitely looks like tentacruel#if it's a different pokémon why does it evolve into something so suspiciously similar. i can understand wigglet and wugtrio being#different pokémon. just based on how different they are from diglett and dugtrio. even though their names are a typo away#but this guy is. it. really should've just been a regional form‚ i think#unrelated‚ but on random occasions seemingly whenever someone new finds the blog and reads my tags#i'll occasionally get folks asking me how i type commas in the tags#the answer is that this character → ‚ ← is not a comma. it just looks identical to a comma because of tumblr's font#it's actually a lower quotation mark. so for a language that does ‚this kind’ of quotation marks#and i use it as a comma because i have a fancy linguist keyboard that can type all kinds of fancy symbols. and it's easily accessible#some of my favorites include the single-character ellipse: …#the degrees symbol: º and °#small A: ª#fractions: 1⁄2 2⁄3 1⁄4 etc#and obviously IPA symbols and various diacritics‚ so that i can type the word pokémon without having to copy-and-paste the E#currency symbols‚ too. £¢$§¥ euro is on here somewhere but i don't know where bc i don't use that one really#i just like being able to type things the way they're supposed to be. like it's 80º outside. the stopwatch costs 15¢ in the shop#and‚ of course‚ pokémon. it's the linguistics and computer 'tism combining together i think#it's storming harder now but i found the euro symbol: €#oh fuckin hell my lights just flickered. this is gonna be rough..!

One of my favorite fandom depictions of Fawcett was when they treated the city like Night Vale. IDK, I could always just imagine the city having that same vibe paired with over the top characters and settings as ASOUE (the visual depiction of it all).
Combine this with other heroes like Batman visiting Fawcett to try and figure out more about Captain Marvel and his family/team only for his brain to short circuit mintues after arriving from all the chaos and impossibility of everything.
Billy could have his own podcast or Radio show that's super popular even outside the city with him reporting on everything. He has an "odd things that happened this week" segment but it's all like normal stuff for everyone else but completely weird for citizens of Fawcett. The city could have a feud with both Gotham and/or Metropolis citizens.
The entire city could know about the Marvel Family identities but just delete and deny any evidence acting confused or refuse to acknowledge it whenever asked.
#I just want Fawcet to be a weird little city#The size of the city could be far too small for everything they have in the city and you get to different places based on how you travel#It's gotten to the point where even super powerful groups/individuals keeps tabs on the city just in case#Time could work differently there#People could all age differently there#This is the real reason Mary and Billy are no longer twins Fawcett just messed up their ages is all#Even people tied directly to chaos don't want to make their home their it's so bizzar#shazam#billy batson#fawcett city

I FINALLY MOVED OUT TO A NEW PLACE!!!
i'm absolutely exhausted and i still need to unpack so many things and i still need to buy a proper desk and restock my groceries & supplies and a do a whole lot of other things BUT i'm hoping to get settled in soon so i can get back to the creative endeavors™️✨
love yall, stay safe, take care, and good vibes 🫶🏻
#rin rambles#i dont want to bog this with negativity but i do want to share stuff so imma do it in a way that makes me look forward and not backwards#honestly this wasn't the place that i actually wanted and got excited for several months ago#i had to make adjustments because unfortunately the landlord was a huge red flag and i decided i didn't want to sign#and sure enough she never returned my security deposit of 1.5months until this day despite saying she would every day for like a whole mont#and though it is hard and devastating i don't want to potentially sabotage my own future so i've decided to not take any legal action#i just hope. that that money can be of use to her in some way. get her out of a tough spot perhaps#it was a struggle to get to this point of actually feeling fine letting go without breaking down but!!! it's fine. i'm fine#and karma will find a way if it was truly done out of purely malicious intention!#i'm closing that book and stowing it away lovingly into a shelf because if anything it was. a powerful lesson.#as much as it sucks. never. ever. trust a person when it comes to business or transactions. no matter how 'put together' they seem#always have everything on paper and never EVER pay something until they demonstrate that they can be trusted#anyway#the people helping me move today were super friendly and nice and it made my day!!#and so far i love love love the privacy so much. a bathroom all to myself? a kitchen countertop?? for myself??? that's so crazy#i had to battle thru cobwebs and (fored to) cured my arachnophobia by force /j#and there was a power trip unfortunately but overall everything seems nice! i would have liked having the room on a higher floor but ah wel#ough my back........... _(;3」 z)_

when I tell you I would commit federal crimes for Michiru's backstory from her pov....
#girl got psychic powers and super powers and the ability to transform into a cosmic super soldier with absolutely no help from a talking cat#and then got visions of the apocalypse coming to get everyone and the universe was like 'you fix this'#and the whole time she was having a seemingly unrelated crush on a girl from another school but keeping her distance for everyone's sake#then she finds out that her gay crush is actually someone she's destined to be with#but for that to happen she also has to go and uproot Haruka's entire life and make her give up everything she's ever dreamed of#but also if she DOESN'T do that the world is gonna end#and so she starts projecting into Haruka's dreams because she has to do SOMETHING#and she tries to meet with Haruka and confront her because 1) she does genuinely want to be with Haruka#but also 2) the world will literally end if they don't stop it#but even as Haruka is like about to gain the ability to transform and awaken she STILL stops her#because even wanting to be with Haruka and knowing that they need to be together#isn't enough to make her ok with ruining Haruka's life#I GO FERAL OVER THIS#sailor neptune#sailor uranus#michiru kaioh#haruka tenou#long post#sailor moon

Do you plan on adding the turtle's adopted mutant fish sister from that one episode? I fell like she neverwould want to help avenge splinter since he raised her and cared for her deeply.
I don't. If I did put her in, the fact that she exists at all would contradict almost all the world building I've set up behind the scenes for how mutation works. She is a wrench in the works- thus she can never exist in Residuum.
#residual asks#also i don't think she make any sense to include#both in show or residuum#as fun as her concept could have been... they never use her again. and the episode was super forgettable#hell. i rewatched the whole series three time for residuum- and i didn't even remember that she was in there#untill three months into the comic#(if i could get rid of any episode it would be that one)#if i had included her... her power set would have very useful for me in *redacted*'s storyline#and then everyone would hate her lmao#residuum wb

I literally do not have anything smart to say here, this drawing literally only happened because my siblings were telling me I should post my brainrot doodles on here, and my anxiety-ridden ass couldn't do it, and decided the only solution was to spend days (read: the entire latter end of April) working on a proper drawing because "if I'm going to post anything on tumblr, it better be a full-ass drawing"
#little fire's art#dragon ball#kaioshin#db shin#grand supreme kai#north supreme kai#south supreme kai#west supreme kai#idk the proper tags#and I don't really care rn#I just want to get this posted so I can hide in the Void for a million years or so#anyway#normal db fan: MY FAV CHARACTER IS [insert super duper powerful character here]#meanwhile#me: *holds up Shin* blorbo...#but hey this drawing did make me make some big steps out of my comfort zone for art#so I guess my db brainrot is good for something??#also for the record I DID finish this a couple days ago#my anxiety just prevented me from posting it here until now#but technically it's still a contender for April's art piece for the end of the year art summary#I'M NOT GOING TO MISS TWO M0NTHS#Feb sucked bc my tablet said fuck you and I had to replace it#if anything looks wonky pose-wise just remember I don't use pose refs much#bc I hate myself#no really#I just about drove myself insane one night trying to figure out how to draw Shin's right arm#bc the angle is weird and idk why I did this to myself#shut the fuck up Fire

#feeling controversial today i guess#but like#i am at the point where i actively do not get the hype around tommy#like he’s just some guy#most of what people seem to like AND hate about him seems to be just based on headcanons not anything he's actually done in canon#he's had exactly zero development outside of moving buck's character forward since showing up again#like sure maybe there's potential but it hasn't actually been used at this point he's just kind of there#i do not understand having particularly strong opinions on him in eithet direction#like fanon opinions sure he's fun in fic#but like. the way people seem to be mapping their fanon versions of him onto canon to fit either a blind adoration or a blind hatred for hi#is super weird to me#like he’s just som guy y'all why is half the fandom falling out over this dude while the other half has gone underground??#he's just not that interesting#i will never understand how hard this fandom goes for side characters#who have had next to no development of their own#i didn't get it with lucy#i don't get it with tommy#like to each their own#but damn the power y'all give these random characters who frankly just aren't that interesting in their current states is#a lot#like enjoy have fun no judgment there#but can we maybe stop actively attacking each other over this guy he's just some dude come on y'all#*either *him *some#i really need to proofread my tags#*also i think i mean more controversy rather than hype in that third tag. it's not really that i don't understand why people like him#but more that i don't understand how he inspires such extreme opinions#anti tommy kinard#just in case#this isn't meant to be anti really i'm just like. very neutral about him#911 discourse
