[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?!?!

"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.

Oh! Pretty, pretty, pretty smile and side profile.

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.

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)

[acultforkidswithparentaltrauma]

percy is 100% a girl dad and that little girl is more scary and powerful and sassy than that man could ever hope be and percy is extremely proud of her and also constantly worried for the well-being of everyone around her. and i will be taking absolutely ZERO criticism about it from now until forever.

I know it's well-understood at this point that Kirk/Spock is much more of a nerd4nerd ship than a nerd/jock thing, but it's just been kind of percolating around my mind that both of them aren't just space nerds but space nerds who were personally bullied.

Like, 18-year-old Kirk was targeted by an older bully who combines "total asshole" with "the most grating man in existence":

MCCOY: Well, yeah, I'm beginning to feel a little bit picked-on, if that's what you mean. KIRK: I know the feeling very well. I had it at the Academy. An upperclassman there. One practical joke after another, and always on me. My own personal devil. A guy by the name of Finnegan. MCCOY: And you being the very serious young— KIRK: Serious? I'll make a confession, Bones. I was absolutely grim, which delighted Finnegan no end.

This was five years after Kirk survived a genocide, btw, and likely well before his stint as an Academy instructor known to be strict and demanding (which is the period the "stack of books with legs" description of him comes from). By the time he's 33, fifteen years after all this, it turns out one of his deepest fantasies is just beating the shit out of his bully, but only if he can do it According To The Rules (the replica of Finnegan sneers, "Always fight fair, don't you? True officer and gentleman, you").

Spock, meanwhile, is viciously targeted by his Vulcan peers for being biracial from at least age 5; he's described as being tormented by other boys by that age, and "at home nowhere except Starfleet." I think he'd have been 18 or 19 when he left for Starfleet and it's... the least bad of his options, but he seems to have spent his entire career among humans and being persistently subjected to raw racism and profound disrespect for his culture at every turn.

Like, their histories of being metaphorically shoved into lockers are not identical or anything, but I think it's interesting that they both have them.
