it’s crazy that rouge straight up said this and people still see her as a mother figure lmaooo
#edit: for the love of god ‘aunt/sister’ is not meaningfully different than mother figure#explain to me how ascribing a woman to a different role in a nuclear family is super subversive actually or shut up. please#rambles#stole a robot for the purpose of creating a perfect thieving tool and ignored every sign of interiority or will he expressed#and ditched him the second it became clear that the situation is more of a pain in the ass than it is a benefit#and said she’d hate to be a mom to said robot#how maternal.#god i fucking love rouge she’s so awesome in this game#such a shame about amy.#battle posting

“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”
Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.
His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.
Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all
#perfect stories about perfect people who never do anything wrong are usually boring#stories about growth and mistakes and redemption and forgiveness and progress are lit#bkdk#bakudeku#the quote is from cinema therapy on YouTube btw#love them so much#they look at media and talk about what is and isn’t good from a real life human perspective#and boy did this quote slap me in the face#anyway this is my thought literally any time anyone says something about shipping Izuku with his abuser#if he was still being abused then I get it#but he’s not#and saying he needs protection from Katsuki is honestly doing his character dirty#and this is not to say that every situation with an abuser and a victim should turn out romantic#obviously not#the world is not black and white and neither are people#sometimes you have to get yourself out and never look back and that is valid and healthy#but sometimes you’re talking about two boys in a manga who literally cannot stop thinking about how good and incredible the other is#bro I get it#surface level chapter/episode 1 Katsuki is literally the worst#but his glow up has been literally meteoric

Compilation of my favorite Kenjaku expression, aka being completely caught off guard by a special grade
#kenjaku#in order with the fights it’s:#mechamaru#gojo satoru#tsukumo yuki#counting kokichi muta as special grade only in that fight (although he actually isn’t!) since his power output was special grade level there#but the faces! the range of 😀😲🥴#said this before but I like that despite every fan (and even character in the story)#parading kenjaku as some perfect cold planning mastermind#they often rely HEAVILY on luck and trying to work with others. we have to see them adapt to situations that they weren’t prepared for#it’s a small thing but I appreciate it since it makes kenjaku seem even more impressive#jjk spoilers#jujutsu kaisen#id in alt

really obsessed with soulmate au’s recently and it got me thinking… what if john’s soulmate was part of the boys? a girl trying to kill him with an entire group of people also trying to kill him… and he’s fated to her? could picture him finding out and just putting his hands on his hips while turning his back to her and doing that click chuckle thing. just in utter disbelief but it is definitely on track for fate’s little play with him and his life lolol
Oohhh, you know, I've never played much with the soulmate au concept, but this struck me just right because I can so clearly see the slow, building meltdown that strikes him when that reveal drops.
The mirthless laugh, shaking his head, the hapless gesture to the ceiling before his hands drop. "Of course. Of course it's you. Why wouldn't it be? I mean—Christ, it makes sense, doesn't it? Every single person who was supposed to love me has-has fucked it, so why—" he keeps cutting into this escalating, unsettling laughter. There's nothing funny about it: you're sure that you're watching someone lose the last shred of their sanity in real time. "Why would my 'soulmate'-", he says, miming big, dramatic quotation marks. "-be any different?" That manic grin has shifted into tight baring of his teeth, a vicious sneer. He closes in on you, stands so near you can feel the heat of his breath when he hisses, "I should put you in the fucking dirt with the rest of them."
It should be terrifying, but it's hard to focus on anything other than the glassiness of his eyes. The sheer devastating heartbreak of it all, telegraphed clear as day in the way he carries himself. His eyes flare red, sizzling up the tears before they can fall. "And then you really will be all alone," you say. Maybe it's the hopelessness of the moment, maybe it's the shock of learning for yourself that he's supposed to be your one and only, but you feel numb. Frayed in a way you didn't know you could be. The crimson light of his eyes disappears in an instant, revealing surprise, followed by a wounded kind of look, before that familiar seething rage returns. "We'll see about that."
#oh man i could get carried away with this real easy#i did here lbr#i guess it's up to the author just how connected soulmates are and how that kind of reveal happens#idk i'm a baby to the genre#but it would be very fun to write a situation where HL wants to strangle them just as much as he wants to snuggle up in their lap#they're at odds in every conceivable way but there is this soul deep pull to one another#coming to terms with the fact passion is the root of BOTH hatred and love#also the idea that HL was sincerely holding out hope all this time that his One Perfect Person was out there waiting for him wounds ME#only to be struck down by the realization that oh they ALSO want him dead#aaaaaaAAAAAAA#i'm sorry i'm so rambly today lmao thank you for the ask!!! i'm gonna have brain worms all day#darling anon#ask and you shall receive#homelander x reader#homelander x you#soulmate au#my writing

the sos awl development team really looked at rock and said “even if we could fix him (we can’t) he would never agree to it, carry on king”
#and i’m eternally grateful they responded this way#my odd worldview king has every possible brain disease and disorder and he’s perfect just the way he is#cora clownposting content#sos awl#multiple interviews stress that rock was left unchanged because he was always a fucking weirdo and will remain so eternally#i also love that they use the same logic i do. sorry couldn’t redesign him he wouldn’t let us. sorry rock insisted on being drawn this way#what? just change his personality? sorry our hands are tied because he would not fucking say we can rewrite him#explains why his risqué first heart event dialogue was left entirely unchanged in the jp yet maya can’t call him a nanpa anymore#english localization toned it down this time. natume used literal translations and some roughly equivalent english double entendres#sometimes just ignored them#xseed did decide to make him wink when inviting you to be fun-buddies so idk#xseed definitely held a gun to his head for his toned down lines they have Hostage Situation vibes#‘hi there platonic buddy pal!!’ *winks in morse code to spell the words ‘SEX NOW??’*#psychic damage posting#bokumono#hm awl#rock (awl)#this was in my drafts when the heck did i write all this#rock tumbling (sos)

no yeah i really love how every core 4 member got a real happy ending....except for ej
nini is happily pursuing music in la with her moms' full support
ricky is dating gina, a girl he calls "home". he's finally becoming more at peace with love and how to show it. he's learned how to not run from his problems. his parents are getting back together (???) and his drama teacher wrote such a good letter of recommendation that he was accepted into a community college
gina becomes a literal movie star and was able to change the filming location of her second movie, without any consequences, to salt lake so she can physically be with ricky, the boy she finally got to date after crushing on him since the day they met. she has a permanent home to call her own now. her mom finally showed up to an opening night and she was finally able to portray gabriella
and then ej...is alone (in a wildcat sense) at college, financially cut off from his family, working multiple jobs to afford it. he spends most of his season 4 screentime guiding and helping others (ricky, gina, miss jenn, madlyn) instead of an actual storyline and a lot of his lines were about how he's made mistakes and has to live with them
#um...ignore how nini has a singular sentence#but anyway#ej says that he's happy but compared to every other important character nothing happy happens to him#obviously you can be at peace with/like a less than perfect situation#but that doesn't make the situation good or that you don't deserve more than that#he's literally cousins with ashlyn#he has a connection to a main character and yet we hear nothing about how he's doing until admissions#hell his first mention in the season is terri talking bad about him to gina#and before someone says 'well he graduated already and this is about the students of east high so-'#lily was at east high for all of five minutes and she got plotlines INCLUDING dating one of the main characters#dewey freakin wood got an appearance in s4 when we're no longer at the camp...#jenn mike lynne and ben all have extensive storylines and they're adults#(and mike and lynne don't even work at east high like jennzzara! they're just ricky's parents !)#channing (someone who really didn't need to be such a big character) had a whole storyline in s3#even jarred had a storyline in s4 !!! AND HE WAS A STALKER !!!#can you tell i'm pissed#probably missed some things i'm going off of memory and rage#and it just seems like a poor writing choice to do nothing with ej until ep 5 when he was still dealing with his dad when s3 ended#<- something that could've been made into a storyline !! instead of just throwing it at us that ej was cut off#hsmtmts#high school musical the musical the series#ej caswell#nini salazar roberts#ricky bowen#gina porter#okay i regularly call them the core 4 so i think i've tricked myself into thinking other ppl do too...#tags are not as neat as i want them to be the thoughts just kinda spilled out but hopefully this all makes sense

You ever think about the idea that Sonic, Shadow and Silver all might have impressively long quills for hedgehog mobians? Cus I do. Cus they all have reasons to. Sonic’s constantly tearing through solid metal and wires, the more buzzsaw like he can make himself the better and the more layers between him and sparking machinery while spindashing also all the better. Shadow’s a living weapon and part alien and he has the same reasons as Sonic to maintain them, also, his quills must be So Weird to other hedgehogs. Why are they so dark? I’ve never seen that stripe pattern in my life. How are they going up so much?? And so on. Silver. Silver dude guy. Post/mid-apocalypse extraordinaire (had to look up that word. why the hell is it spelled like that) Between his insane quills and the telekinesis, touching him if he doesn’t want you to is guaranteed pain. Someone get him some industrial scissors his quills don’t need to be that long anymore.
Imagine being a normal little hedgehog mobian. You’ve been living your life, having your quills carefully trimmed and blunted for your convenience and others’ safety, trying to find a nice balance between lengths so it looks nice without ruining the couch. the couch probably gets ruined anyway but it takes longer than if you were doing nothing. You kinda wish you could grow them out more cus other mobians with just fur do some pretty cool stuff. And one day your town gets overrun by robots by this human dude and you get saved by this blue mobian who you haven’t been able to get a good look at because he’s going So Fast and when he finally slows down you’re like. oh. neat I’ve been saved by a superspeed porcupine-wait no. why’s he look like. hedge hog??? Quills? Why????????? Are they so long what.
This guy has done the equivalent of growing up in a world of sewing needle hair and decided to grow them out to goddamn knife points. How has he not stabbed himself. what does his monthly spending on couches look like? And then two other guys show up. they also get mistaken for porcupines. they are also hedgehogs. What.
They all look cool as hell. plotting to ask them about their quill care routine is in your future. Maybe you’ll ask the pink one that just showed up. She seems like the most normal (wrong.) She might know how they do that.
#got possessed or smthn#anyway#sth#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#shadow the ultimate lifeform#silver the hedgehog#triple s#sonic headcanons#The fact that literally none of the main four hedgehogs except for maybe Amy can be considered reliable sources for what hedgehog mobians#normally look like drives me up the wall (positive) soooo much room for funky hcs#*definitely* none of them if you subscribe to the half echidna amy theory#I love thinking about sonic grooming his quills. he must do it super often to maintain the perfect balance of Shear Through Metal#and Not Debilitating In Every Other Situation#It's the best stim ever he does it each morning even if he doesn't have to#he's half the reason Tails' fur stays in such good shape cus every other day he drags Tails into it too each morning and cleans up his#fur too#there was a lot of trial and error when they were younger for Sonic to figure out how to groom long fur cus all of his is super short and#his quills are too stiff to tangle very easily#but now he'd got it down to a science#Tails can calculate how long it's been since he's seen Sonic on any given day by how unkept his fur is getting#it's not that he can't do it!! Sonic's just so good at it and it feels really nice#ohp got possessed again#gotta hit post before I keep going

Atsushi's back in the game!!! ۶( ˆ o ˆ )
#And Kouyou!!!!#Also. I can say Steinbeck is kinda 👀👀👀#King of the specific category of “I forget I like him until he's on screen”#I'm seriously unlocking memories with this rewatch. Like I haven't thought about it in two years–#but I just know when I was watching the anime for the first time I was being like#“Of COURSE the villains need to spend several minutes each episode explaining in detail how their own superpowers work so that the–#protagonists can get a perfect idea of how to best counter them. Why are villains made so freaking stupid in this show” aljhvwslchvqliyqwb#But. Eh. I guess that's just bsd to you.#Alsoooooo random thought of the day: I don't really favour how Tanizaki's ability was adapted in the anime.#I very well understand they were going for this green Matrix-like illusion effect‚ but every time someone says “... Snow?”#I'm like please explain where do you live that has snow glowing green.#Aamsjgvfaskjhfv sorry this is me being very. Cranky and nitpicky and having terrible audience etiquette in refusing to–#engage in suspension of disbelief. It just bugs me akvakcvqkyb I just feel like... Green is such a non-snow color–#that quite of completely disrupts the Light Snow / Sasame Yuki aesthetic. I would have liked it much better light blue or simply white.#What else. The way the Guild just goes on at stereotypes still troubles me a lot. The “usamericans can't be touched by laws–#because they use money to corrupt anyone” “foreign criminal organization come in our country to corrupt our pure and untouched soil”#Idk. Maybe all of it is true. Can it still be deemed a stereotype when it's objectively something that's happened before–#and will probably keep happening?#I suppose I'm just not a fan of the constant hostility against any foreigner. Idk.#This situation besides is extremely ironical. If you meet me irl it probably won't take long to see me being very outspoken about–#how much I despise usa cultural colonization of all other countries. It's something that really bothers me‚ how rooted and pervasive–#their influence is. So in a lot of ways I can relate to the author's sentiment#I just feel that. If you start treating them as stereotypes and ignore the complexity of a country and the wide spectrum of causes–#that contribute to its attitude in international relations. You end up practicing precisely what you're trying to criticize.#Okay this is the last time I'm getting into the politics of the Guild arc lol#random rambles#This time I took watching the episode slow I feel a little late

diana finding mulder in her apartment in the dark and him being like “i was looking for evidence that you’d lied to me or had other loyalties” and her not even blinking like “nothing could be further from the truth, fox. nothing.” with the literal devil on her doorstep 👌👌
#it’s like…it’s not even just mulder’s mommy issues or tendency to gravitate to abusive situations#diana is perpetuating the conspiracy. she’s working for csm. a man who’s been grooming mulder to Be susceptible since his Birth#it’s a combination of so many things that compound in his loyalty to diana and that’s what’s interesting to me#because it’s his nature to trust and forgive AND his need for her approval AND his desire to be believed#AND her purposeful manipulation AND the ladder above her of a lifetime’s worth of grooming#it’s just this perfect storm of every aspect in his life and of who he is that’s causing him to fall into this trap#txf.txt#one son#it’s the way when she says ‘nothing could be further from the truth’ she doesn’t even look at him or pause like. she’s not pleading her case#she says it like she’s annoyed with him for even having made the suggestion#diana

relistening to the episode where they open the obsidian door and EURGH URGH WILLY STAMPLER MAKES ME SO FUCKING SICK. hes literally GROOMING SCARY. like isolating her and giving her gifts/resources (in this case: leveling up) so that if he were to cut her off she would feel helpless? thats textbook fucking groomer behavior. he's been making her rely on him since before they even opened the door FUCK IM GONNA PUKE
#i hope scary beats him to death. i hope she realizes what a toxic situation he had her in and beats the shit out of him#anthony burch has made the perfect antagonist and i resent him for it every day. FUCK#dndads#dungeons and daddies#scary marlowe#willy stampler#props to taylor for realizing how creepy he was and warning his mom about it. it was a little late but still#stay tuned for my 48 minute video essay on why he deserves to die slowly <3

A transmutation battle before sunset; Orgone energy being the obvious victor.
#lots of things went wrong today while enjoying the beauty of Gillette castle and thinking of gifting the area of Lyme sparked brake issues#in our GOOD vehicle and my bf lost his glasses (he was wearing sunglasses most of the day so somehow lost his specs in the meantime..)#luckily made the boat and we calmly handled these situations instead of freaking out#watched an energy battle on my ferry ride home and these are the pictures I took getting off the ferry near the parking lot#hoping to restore some of the habitat here near my new apartments where it’s been abused by contractors for years…#but the jetstream like vortex washing away all the direct aim for the sunset was beautiful to watch#here’s a perfect example of Dor trails and orgone energy channels / streams / vortexes#clear skies now#sunset#stars :3#I#clouds#summer#sighhh long summer days are ending#saw about 10 planes traverse the same flight platters for the duration of the ferry btw…traveling between clouds and trying to linger#so that’s about every 5 minutes since the ferry ride is 45 min??

Nothing in my life has ever tasted as good as how I imagine cartoon meat that looks like this tastes
#talking tag#orv groundrat meat and yanaspleta stem#literally the only type of meat they eat in one piece#it's funny how in orv when kdj makes bbq skewers they all look like this but when yjh makes skeweres they look like normal ass skewers with#vegetables and everything#it's yjh the only person who has any culinary sense? the real answer is no. kdj is actually capable in the kitchen. the funnier answer is#that yjh was so fed up with being the only person in the universe to have taste buds and maybe a normal sized mouth that he spent an entire#regression turn learning how to perfect his cooking [this part at least is canon] just so he could convince at least one of his companions#to raise their standards and stop eating barely-chopped‚ unseasoned‚ straight off the bone monster meat#i think yjh would refuse to eat an apple unless it was peeled and sliced into cubes with little toothpicks#he wouldnt touch a sandwich until you passed it through a panini press#maybe it has something to do with diligence and intentionally putting effort into something often overlooked#its a lot of effort to cook delicious meals when the world is quite literally falling apart and reshaping itself but in a situation where#he doesnt even have control over his own death‚ he can only treat what he does have control over with the utmost diligence#cooking and eating good‚ healthy‚ SAFE food is something that is entirely his‚ i think#he doesnt need it to survive like fighting. its not a relic of his past that has lost its application like gaming. its a routine‚ a ritual#repeated daily#something that you do every day and by continuing to do it you create things that are more and more enjoyable. something that makes people#smile and feel satiated. something that gets everyone to sit close and share the joy of a single moment. a single meal#is it possible to get tired of that after repeating it so many times? every day? every day every month every year every turn#why doesnt he eat food made by other people?#because its not delicious#and the dumplings?#those were made by someone he loved. someone he loved put their time into mizing the filling and shaping the dough#someone he loves wants him to be safe and fed. and offered him dumplings that they made#was it delicious?

rewatched the first three episodes of s3 and im never going to recover
#i love season 3#and s3 is a great season it’s just that. THEY BARELY EVER MENTION THE TSUNAMI AGAIN EVEN THOUGH IT CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR#SO MANY CHARACTERS#so whenever i watch past 3x03 i miss the tsunami arc because i do think it’s one of the greatest arcs they did#i think these eps were when i fell in love with may too <3#911 lb#SPEAKING OF WHICH#it still startles me every time that the lawsuit comes right after the tsunami eps because it’s like#you’d think that that arc (in which buck acts as a firefighter despite not being able to be one atm) would lead to everyone including him#realising that he can help people without being on active duty because that’s. what he does.#he literally saves himself christopher and a dozen others by finding shelter on top of. A FIRE TRUCK.#the symbolism does not get more meaningful than that like#i’m not even talking about the lawsuit because i think that in itself is an interesting multifaceted arc etc#what i mean is. why does no one including buck. mention that. he was behaving exactly as a firefighter would in that situation despite#being on blood thinners and all that. it literally feels like the perfect way to have that moment of ok this is who i am even when i cant#work the job that defines who i am to me#instead they move on and there’s like 1 ep where christopher has trauma over it and everyone else’s trauma over it well they simply#do not speak about that. beyond a few lines which i latch on to#sorry for the insane tags. half my brainpower is reserved for this now

lately i've been totally devouring the skip & loafer manga - it's such incredible character writing i have no choice but to devour it. each individual character is so fleshed out and interesting but the writer has this amazing knack for placing them together in situations that create a lot of intrigue. just like constant interactions where each character's motivations and reactions are really well-thought out. this is pretty late into the series so really deep in the weeds of spoilers/character drama but the whole gang is roadtripping to protag mitsumi's countryside hometown during summer vacation and as you can see in the first panel mika (girlfailure i love her) recently confessed to + was rejected by the main love interest shima and their other guy friend mukai consulted with her through it (though he has not let on to shima that he knows anything), so sitting in the backseat with the two of them sounds like a nightmare. so she suggests that mitsumi takes the seat instead, since she knows mitsumi has a crush on shima and that unlike her own crush mitsumi's is definitely returned in some way, but little does she know that mitsumi and shima actually very recently tried going out to test the waters with dating but shima as a teenager (former child actor also) coming from a dysfunctional family doesn't know anything about relationships, not even how to tell if his own feelings are romantic, so they realized pretty quickly that it wasn't working and agreed to return back to being friends while ignoring the awkwardness left in the room, none of which mitsumi has told anybody. such a tiny passing little interaction but so much driving the way the characters act in it
#there's a different scene later in this volume where mitsumi has a fight w her little sister#because her sister is 12 and doesn't like the countryside and is embarrassed that her sister's cool tokyo friends are seeing their ugly#countryside house and also jealous of how proud her family is of her sister for going to a fancy tokyo school and tired of everything being#about her and also 12#and who is to accidentally overhear this fight but shima whose abusive single mother remarried and had a baby when he was in middle school#mitsumi who's booksmart and awkward and from the countryside stresses about how she feels behind her tokyo friends in fashion and romance..#and she has the conversation about it with her transgender aunt#who hasn't been back to the countryside in years and years because tokyo is where she's found space to be herself after a stifling childhoo#like just every single scene the author chooses such perfect characters and situations and creates so much depth#god#personal
