#i said probably twice

[whatdoyouseemartin]

sometimes it's VERY apparent that all the statements in tma were written by a singular person because there are these oddly specific words/phrases that keep cropping up so here are the highlights with the number of times they've appeared:

'suffice to say' - 7

'threadbare' - 7

'in no uncertain terms' - 6

'whatever was going on' - 6

'not to put too fine a point' - 4

'as such' - 8

'it wasn't like' - 15

'ever so slightly' - 26

flesh described as 'sloughing off' - 6

'bulbous' - 10 (usually accompanied by something bursting WHAT is your problem jonny)

'it was only then/when/after' - 25 (almost comical how often this occurs)

and, of course, the classic 'not really' tag at the end of a sentence - 31

bonus, not really within the statements but it amused me: 'is/was that a joke?' has appeared 5 whole times (apparently none of these characters can comprehend each others' sense of humour)

touched up one of the other sketches ( ´ ꒳ ` )

you ever think about how Misa's lack of intelligence and the way she lets her emotions impulsively dictate her actions was kinda constantly made the butt of the joke in DN, yet she genuinely outlived all the dudes and dudettes who were always scoffing at her stupidity. Somehow this is even better to me in that she wasn't even trying to outlive Light and didn't have any particularly high regard for her own life, so it's not due to her secretly being the best strategist of them all intentionally either... Regardless of the author's intent behind it I like that it pokes some holes in their constant smug assertions that you must have the very highest IQ to be the last guy standing in the murder notebook game

Ok so Wild and Wars are going together in the dungeon right? And that's great for them (maybe), but I ALSO want to talk about how Time and Four are going together!!

Because of THIS

(from doodles pt.3-link (heh))

Most of us have seen this before I think- and I've seen people saying they want confirmation on if it's Time saying 'you never cease to impress me little one' or not. The older doodles are still said to be canon- so I ALSO would like confirmation on it.

Also there's this ask from a bit ago!

The ask mentioned Time knowing about the four sword- and Jojo didn't correct them or say otherwise, and said most have confided in him. So I think it's reasonable to assume Time knows Four's secret from the doodle. And I want to see it in the story!!! and they're going together in the dungeon! (with Wind too of course!!)

also small brag that I guessed and said months ago that I wanted Time and Four to go together. They have Wind too, and I am VERY excited bc I wanted to see them together and now they ARE fhxvfgxgdgd

Obviously we don't know what Jojo's planning, and I have no idea if this will come up or not. But it'd be really cool wouldn't it?

Sometimes I wonder how much Johnathan Stroud knows about fandom shenanigans. In the most respectful way possible, does he enters Bartimaeus tag in the evening and goes "oh yeah people are making my characters cuddle and kiss today, yesterday they murdered Nathaniel for a second time. Great" or is he oblivious to the existence of fandom stuff as it is

Had a craving for a fic set in a very specific Arcane AU that only exists in my head so had to write it myself.

No you can't pair up, stop asking

Jinx and Ekko enter Piltover Academy excited to learn how to create fantastic new inventions. In theory, at least. In practice, they have to save the fantastic inventing for outside class because no one will let them pair up and its really annoying and incredibly unfair. If you ask the Piltover Academy Professors, they will hand you a thick file of incident reports while throwing back a whiskey

AKA I torture innocent Professors by giving them Ekko and Jinx in a class together as teens

So, super upsetting and not fun question...does Tomura know Twice is dead?

I feel like he has to. It's Toga's main motivation for joining in the war, and I'm sure Dabi or at least Spinner would have told him, but we never see Shigaraki react to learning about it. And AFO was fucking with his mind, trying to take control, in those months leading up to this battle. Does he think Twice just got captured like Compress? (If the League even knows Compress is alive, since last any of them saw he was blasting chunks of himself away, sacrificing himself for them.)

But, Tomura said he needs to be a hero for all of them, like Twice is still around. And if AFO was withholding that information from him, that would be a reveal that could hurt Deku's chances of saving him.

Either way, I love seeing how much Tomura loves the League. I need all of them to make it out of this alive, and heal together like the fucked up family they are.

green arrow artists ranked least fav to fav GO

CAVEAT BEFORE I BEGIN: this is ranked entirely on the MAIN PENCILLER artist listed in each issue i took from, however a LOT of comic art is make or break with inkers and colourists. so this is by no meaning me saying (x) artist sucks/ is amazing on their own or whatever. it just. is what it is. i just frankly cant be bothered to factor each inker into each ranking.

second caveat: frankly i dislike some of these artists as people, but ive tried not to include that in my ranking, and im purely going from how they draw ollie

third and final caveat: this is JUST based on their ollies. a lot of these artists draw other things (WOMEN) horribly or other things AMAZING (layouts/backgrounds/pinups) and if it was ranked on that they'd probably be lower. this is entirely based on how much i like looking at their ollie/how much it feels like Ollie tm to me.

and here is the tier list maker i made for anyone to make their own!

oh shit

[shatterdome-underscore]

Oh wow you guys were not exaggerating about Kabru. Flashing back to something Laios said thirty seconds before but with the happy white fuzz filter, immediately going "either I was wrong and they didnt rob us or they dont remember, either way its fine ❤️" to his party, blushing and going "this is so much worse than I imagined" while Shuro is actively trying to kill Laios, not even flinching over the "why were you eating a brick" thing? this little dude is a freak

I've made my fascination with filth and how it connects to VP loud and clear at least three times on my blog, but I seriously can't state enough how much it occupies my mind. There's just something really powerful about someone not only being not grossed out by your filth, but, on the contrary, being attracted to it. Pulled into it. Turned on by it. That's what happens to Vegas at the safehouse. Pete is at the worst state he's ever been (debatable, since we don't know much about his past), and yet it's at these moments Vegas starts to become obsessed with him. I love how it's kind of subtle in its presentation. After all, KinnPorsche The Series is a very polished and "clean" show. Everyone is dressed nicely and the fight scenes never get too dirty or too bloody. The sex scenes never get too messy, either. And yet, at the safehouse, Pete is allowed to show parts of his filth to the audience. His hair is greasy, his skin is feverish, his lips are parched, there's black under his eyes, his voice changes, not even mentioning the dirt on him and the blood trickling down his chest. The rest is implied: the bad breath, the yellow teeth, the smell, the digestive problems he 100% has. What's implied is more important, because it's those filthy parts of Pete that Vegas embraces with fervor: he kisses a pill into Pete's unwashed mouth, and he eats Pete's unwashed ass. I love thinking about the juxtaposition of internal vs external filth as well, because to me, the VP arc kind of flips them on their head: Pete's filth is, as I explained above, external. He's filthy in appearance, in body, while Vegas' filth is internal, in his mind, in his heart. By the end of the show, Vegas ends up with external filth (another thing I've posted about that got some mixed reactions lol) that he has to find how to navigate his life with, and this time, it's Pete who embraces it. Don't get me wrong here. Both of these men have internal filth. Pete isn't some innocent, pure angel and he knows it, and Vegas does, too. Self-loathing just doesn't let him remember it most of the time. I'm going to end this post with this screenshot, which is probably one of my favourite VP moments (besides the sex itself), and that's because it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed on my screen. Look at the pores on their skin, at Vegas' bags under his eyes, at Pete's wet hair above his ear, at the stubble on Pete's chin and Vegas' upper lip. Look at them being filthy and at home. Aren't they gorgeous?

You are given a magic wand that, whenever used, adds 1 million dollars to your bank account. However, in exchange, a random artist you like abandons their former creative pursuits and becomes a passionate member of a Imagine Dragons cover band. What do you do?

I'll frame it as a collective mental health improvement thing and tap the wand on the table twice. they seem happy this way, and I must make this great sacrifice... for them...

Look, I don't believe in preferential treatment, it's not right.... BUT ☝️ if we're gonna have changbin saying sydney is skz's second hometown I just think maybe australia could not be charged things like 60+ dollars shipping.... or 75 dollars for a normal album at the most prominent music retailer when other places pay 15-20 for the same thing.... lol
