only human
[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.
The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]

El Desperado's 2019 match (technically speaking, pair of matches) against Kasai was a huge turning point in his career. It left a permanent impact on him, not just emotionally but physically - during that match Kasai broke Desperado's jaw with a punch to the face.
The fallout from this unfortunate injury ended up bringing the two of them closer together.
Desperado would go on to incorporate the injury into his own mask, as a gold-joinery series of cracks along the left side of his jaw.
But Desperado also incorporated his relationship with Kasai into his moveset. After his jaw healed and he was able to return to the ring, he added some new moves to his arsenal.
One was a punch to the jaw, named "Loco Mono" in homage to "Crazy Monkey" Kasai.
Kasai would go on to name his own right-fisted punch "Picaro" (rogue in Spanish) in return, an homage to "Rogue Luchador" Desperado.
Desperado also incorporated Kasai's Reverse Tiger Driver into his moveset, building it into a combination that leads to his own finisher, Pinche Loco.
The first technique, with a vertical drop, is a Reverse Tiger Driver, one of Kasai's signature finishing moves. The second, with a horizontal drop and rotation, is Desperado's Pinche Loco.
In combination, the two moves feel seamless, like they were meant to go together. It makes me wonder if Desperado got some inspiration for his own finishing move from Kasai, years before they ever shared a ring.

for anyone who likes mascot horror, i honestly cannot recommend Indigo Park enough! it just released chapter 1 today and i can't believe i never heard of it before! it has a ton of talented content creators i love working on it and it's just amazing! you can tell how much thought was put into it and it paid off splendidly. the ambience was on point, it genuinely felt unsettling and unsafe from an early point, and i loved the setting and can't wait to see where they take it.
and if that's not enough, just look at your companion:
his name is Rambley and i would kill for him

"I wanted, more than anything, to make you proud." No longer does his son bend his head. He meets him in his eyes - richest brown to clearest blue. Zeus cannot help but search for that little toddling thing that once sough refuge at his knees. When did Ares grow so large? When did his shoulders get so broad? "Why can't you just be proud of me?"
What is it that Phoebus always says? That children can tell their parents have favourites even when they themselves don't know? It almost brings a smile to his face. How alike they both are, even now. Mirrors, the two of them, and they don't even know it.
"What good would my pride do you now, Ares?"
Ares recoils as though he's been struck. As ever, it is the wrong thing to say. Maybe there's never been a right thing to say. Or maybe the both of them are fools. Caught up in this perpetual dog-and-horse show; the son who wants his father's approval and the father who does not know what that means. All the wisdom in the cosmos can't give him that knowledge.
"...Good talk, Father. Truly." That blood-red hair is a windswept flag as Ares leaves. Zeus swears it had been only up to his nape when they'd started speaking. The door slams shut, it rattles all his charts and maps, the vases with Hera's flowers sat pretty on his table. Then, there is silence.
Then, there is regret.
Well, Metis, look what a mess he's made now.

TWEWY is a game with love its centre and I think any reading which insists Neku doesn't love all of his partners (just in a general platonic sense) will automatically result in the thematic messages being missed entirely

wtf does earth is space australia even mean
"earth is space australia" is a type of scifi trope originating from tumblr in which earth, and sometimes humans specifically, are especially dangerous (or, in less edgy versions, just weird/unique) compared to other planets and alien species. there's often a fixation on extreme climates, "dangerous" animal and plant life, or quirks of human culture. my impression is that the trope/concept was popularized as backlash to the common scifi depiction of humans being the boring normies of the universe. the term "space australia" comes from the non-australian perception that australian wildlife is extra dangerous compared to the rest of the world. (it's..... australia has some very cool native wildlife due to islands allowing for unique evolutionary trajectories, but characterizing it as "more dangerous" with zero follow-up nuance is disingenuous at best.) you can also see it called "earth is a deathworld" or "humans are space orcs"
there's a fanlore page if you want to know more. it really started as a bunch of tumblr posts and i don't think the trope has permeated into popular media yet, but you can find some short stories and vignettes on tumblr and reddit, and there's an AO3 tag
