[proselles]

the start of witch hat atelier before u realize how fucked the whole thing is is funny because you'll be reading and coco and agathe and tetia and riche are so cute and the world is so beautiful with so much lore and symbolism and they'll be going on adventures and learning and making new spells and having fun and making magic and smiling and playing pretend and all. They deal with some big issues, but ultimately, friendship prevails, they cook they clean olruggio's there yes there's a big conspiracy but coco's gonna figure it out! everything's gonna be okay!!!

And then you glance out of the corner of your eye. And qifrey is over there and he's like. Having a manic episode

Christian Linke, co-creator and showrunner of Arcane, stated that Sky represents the Hexcore, guiding Viktor toward achieving his desires: influence, power, and ultimately, the Glorious Evolution.

But I can't help but look at these pictures and wonder if there was some kind of disconnection between the script and the animation, bc she's nothing but supportive.

She looks like she's against baddie Viktor and she's worried about him bc he's crossing the line :/

She even tries to hold his hands, like 'are you okay?', and he pulls them away qwq

On top of that, she genuinely looks scared when he agrees to work with Ambessa??? I’d understand if she were smiling or something, but she’s not.

And the sadness in her eyes when Viktor says goodbye... her expression tilts with pain

Did I miss something? Where is she supposed to be manipulating him?!?!

fav panel. fav scene. the way he comforts her is just so sakura. IT'S JUST SO HIM. it's a side of him that he is now able to show because of all the love he's gotten from the people at makochi, because he's learnt that he too is allowed to love and be loved. so of course, of course he is extending that warmth to someone who needs it just as much as he does, because he can instinctively sense that she's in that same space that he was at one point —when we was yet to make that jump, scary but all the more necessary.

and the way he's so gentle about it, empathizing with and validating her fear, all the while telling her to still give it a chance. he doesn't force his thoughts on her, not only because it'll only corner her further, but also because that's just. not something he would do. instead, he poses it as a suggestion, as something she can always opt out of — "and if by the end of it all, you still want to be alone, then you do you". but, she won't know the answer to this unless she tries first, so he urges her to do just that—

"it's not too late to make your decision after you've got to know these people in the town".

it's okay if it doesn't work out, but you have to be willing to try first. unless she takes the first step, she will forever be stagnant in that state, her heart will continue to rot and eat away at itself like sakura's did till he found the people here.

"Haha Dream BBQ is so random and incomprehensible" "did they take drugs to make this lol" "you're actually not meant to understand anything in this series it's ok" "Joel G just makes up stuff on the spot based on what would be funny" "it's just random for random's sake" "is this AI" "stop theorising, it's not that deep" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP

“Part II: The Games” of the first Hunger Games book begins, not when they enter the arena, but when Peeta announces his love for Katniss to the audience. We talk about “if it weren’t for the baby” a lot but let’s just take a moment to acknowledge that my guy was ALWAYS playing the game.

video games being respected and seen as a 100% valid storytelling device in deltarune makes me really happy. “lord of the hammer” got adapted into “dragon blazers” and no one is shrugging it off as the mindless video game cash in, they’re discussing whether or not its a good adaptation, and gerson himself sees it as a perfectly good way to engage with the story.

in fact there doesnt seem to be a societal hangup over video games being dumb or mindless slop for lazy people. noelle plays dragon blazers with her dad in the hospital. berdly is a gamer bro but that’s never shown to be a sign that he’s actually stupid, in fact noelle is just as big of a gamer as him. she just thinks hes annoying about it. hell, dragon blazers and blood crushers being a way for all the lightners to bond, berdly coming around to susie because of it, the suselle hangout in noelle’s house. most of tv time is you chilling with your friends playing video games, and ralsei (the “proper” one of the group) never once comments on it. and the fact that there’s a discussion about a book to video game story being a good adaptation shows that video games are seen as a valid art form.

toby fox loves video games so much that we’re getting a glimpse into a world that actually respects them enough to see them as art and devices to bond with people over rather than lazy slop machines. and i dunno, i’ve never seen anything like it personally. i wish we had that.

i just love how pit babe plays with concepts bc you have this objectevely coolest seting (racing cars), with another cooler setting (omegaverse biomedicine) with the hottest people ever and the characters are by far the dumbest whinniest weirdest craziest people out there

Bdubs instructing his team to practice sucking up to “someone you’re on bad terms with — actually, somebody you wanna kill someday” and then cutting immediately to visiting Gem !!!

Too bad Gem’s famously resistant to his tricks — SL “I consider you a friend, apparently it’s not reciprocated” “It’s not, whaddya want?” — and Bdubs ends up losing a life. Keep chasing that white whale, Bdubs!

EXTREMELY rushed doodle of the nerd

(translation of my terrible handwriting under the cut if you're as curious about dragons as he is (and as I am))

The fact that Wolf-fangs don't have wings raises some interesting questions about the history and evolution of dragons. Wolf-fangs still have fire holes and other things that indicate a common ancestor, so did they lose their wings at some point, or did wings evolve in other species later? If wings happened later then that might mean that different dragon species might have evolved wings separately, which would be a fascinating case of convergent evolution--

[Fishlegs made one passing comment about Wolf-fangs. One.]

(we ignore the fact that they wouldn't have known about evolution. Hiccup's a smart cookie and the Hysterics broke all sorts of time flow rules, I think it's fine)
