#is it monstrous that I laughed at this

[gigizetz]

how do you feel knowing that Telemachus falls off a wall just to get caught by Athena while nobody caught astyanax

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT

[mo-mode]

Echidna essentially saying “You killed my children, now they’re going to kill you” is so wild because the trio’s response is like “bitch we’re ALSO children????” meanwhile, Athena immediately went “NOT IF I KILL THEM FIRST” and that’s so fucked up but also so funny

I have returned to watching demon slayer after a year and it came up while I was having a serious late night talk with my big sister. I was talking about the relationship between Michikatsu/Kokushibo and Yoriichi and it turns out we both see each other in Yoriichi's shoes and ourselves in Michikatsu's place. Definitely surprising, but really relieving to know that we both worry too much and we are not so far apart in skill as we believe.

This is technically the first piece of fanart I've ever made for the characters in Demon Slayer, I have made OCs before but I never drew an actual character from the story. For context this is mostly just a fun "what if" scenario with them meeting in the afterlife. I like to think Yoriichi's love would reawaken Michikatsu's humanity.

Can I know how tall your Links are? Like what are their heights?

I actually really struggle with numbers, so I finished the height chart I had in the drafts for AGES (ended up redrawing everything, since I'm having a few redesigns that I'm planning on releasing pretty soon) so here's all their heights!

Some notes, though, for those curious;

As mentioned, I'm awful with numbers (especially heights) so I ended up just. not having them set in stone.

Minish has not grown since they were eight years old, neither has Faye. (Though, Faye's definitely going to hit a growth spurt.....eventually)

Zonau is. obscenely tall. Probably because it's a Zonai and not a Hylian. It also has the added benefit of its horns adding height.

Tune and Engie are basically the same height, but Engie is a liiittle bit taller than him.

Rancher and Eras are the exact same height.

Zonau is the only guy I have set in stone height wise, he's 6'7. Which is actually short for a Zonai.

I'm sorry this took so long! I've been taking a small hiatus on stuff, since we're experiencing some pretty rough burnout.

As much as it is fun to joke about how absurd Trent's plan was (and on its face, considering just his perspective alone, it was!), I do think we need to acknowledge that it wouldn't have worked as a threat if it had not been reasonably concerning to Caleb.

When you think about how little the Nein know at this point about the Solstice (meta pigeons notwithstanding), there are a lot of factors that play into this being a credible threat. For instance:

The collars are no longer working, as are some wards, in which case it's not unreasonable to wonder if any of the Amulets of Nondetection are out of commission.

It's possible that the Dynasty genuinely does not have that much evidence to go after Essek—that he managed to fake his death and cover his trail that way, or he left well before the pressure really began to encroach, as a preemptive measure, and with him out of sight the rumors died down (or were even quashed by his mother for political reasons, regardless of her feelings on the matter).

There's no good way to know what information or evidence Trent may have stashed away in the event that it was necessary later, which could be delivered anonymously to the Dynasty and not rest on Trent's credibility.

Regardless of Trent's relative ability to capture Essek on his own, which is probably low, he is enough of a loose cannon that he could seriously hurt him simply in a one-on-one duel, because Trent has clearly gone beyond any considerations of self-preservation and is trying to inflict maximum damage, which makes him dangerous all on his own.

It doesn't have to be any one of these, but the important thing is that the plot hinges upon Caleb believing this is at least a semi-credible threat. If there really was no danger to Essek, then it would be reasonable for Caleb, who is very intelligent, to dismiss it and focus on something more important. We've seen that Caleb is perfectly capable of shutting Trent out in the face of larger priorities even when his threats were very affecting, and Caleb's had an extra seven years since then to move past that trauma.

But given that the point of threatening Essek, on a meta level, was to ensure that the plot of the one-shot moved at the pace it needed to, then Caleb needs to believe that this is a credible threat. Regardless of the efficacy of the particular plan outlined, we must be willing to believe that, if he is not confronted now, Trent will make good on his threats in one way or another.

Obsessed with these tags OP omg

First of all, how dare you stab me in the heart with that comparison to Jesse. I can absolutely see it. Now I want to know how Jesse would come into play in all this- Cod I love Spiritshipping they were meant for each other <3

Second, I know I already requested Yuya and Jaden interactions (and oh boy did you deliver), but now you have me intrigued. Like it doesn't even have to be the groupchat AU, I'm just genuinely curious now how you think Jaden would interact with all four of the Yu Boys. I am giving you an excuse to write Jaden and Yuri interacting also because to be completely honest I love Yuya to bits and pieces but Yuri has always been my favorite of the four. <3 "Yuri is the violence" Dear cod I want to see the two of them tear into someone. I have no idea who exactly but they would be terrifying. Give them an audience perchance. Maybe the rest of the protags. (I live for reactions) I'm living for this.

Jaden meets them and it's like witnessing all the parts of himself he keeps tucked to his chest exposed for everyone to see. He sees Yuto and wants to wrap him in a hug and tell him nothing was his fault. (He's a hypocrite, he knows he (Jaden) deserved everything he got. He didn't, he really didn't) He sees Yuya and sees the mask he's put up for so long, sees his attitude of "maybe if I ignore this then it'll all go away" and wonders if his own mask ever looked this close to cracking. He sees Yugo and wants to scream and tear his hair out because when did he lose that part of himself? When did the mask truly become a mask, when did he lose that spark that made life seem actually worth living? (He knows damn well when he lost it.) He sees Yuri and sees a world where he gave in completely to the madness, where he found comfort in the pain because it was the one time he truly felt like he was in control. He wonders what it cost him, if it cost anything at all. He wonders what friends he sacrificed to get where he is now, and if it was worth it. He looks into his eyes and thinks maybe it was. He wonders if maybe their worlds aren't as dissimilar as he first thought. (That thought alone might scare him more than anything.)

It's late and I'm not very good with words (at the moment at least) But you have got me HOOKED and you are currently my only source for this dynamic, I will be plaguing your ask box for a good week at least, I hope you know this- (Feel free to tell me to chill out at any time btw, I just saw your blog description and took that as a personal challenge sdfghj /lh)

Much love <3

*hands you back your worksheet and it looks like this*

*hands you stickers hands you a candy from the candy bowl, never worry about blowing up my inbox, I love hearing from people, hands you a tangerine*

Bestie you are doing such a good job thank you for the kind words, also your mind. I hadn't realized the potential for Yugo + Jaden interactions until you started messaging, now I am rocked by the implications. Now I have to write the yu-bois into the gc au. Can't promise I'll publish anything anytime soon, but I'm always excited to talk about these funny card game guys.

Yuri and Jaden the reformed supervillain and the still-thinks-he-has-to-be-the-evil-brother. Jaden is trying to nudge the guy in the right direction but totally worried because he is only barely older than him and still kinda a mess, meanwhile Yuri would gladly sell Jaden for one corn chip but also belligerently hangs out with him because he kinda is one of the best fusion duelists in the world, maybe he can learn some things. Yuri is like "Let's rob this 7/11! >:3" and Jaden is like "Oooh! There's a deal on slushies!"

Why do you wear a choker? Is it holding back your true form or something?

//i headcanon that Yog’s true form is a monstrous fluffy bat demon so his enchanted choker keeps it under control by retaining his human like form//

My... True form?

Whatever are you talking about?

How could you bastards even think about turning someones kid into a podcaster. It takes a sick person to even think about doing that.

cutting, baking and tasting strawberries even though im deeply repulsed by their texture, smell and taste just to send my gf a package of homemade strawberry muffins

[crystal-jack-asripines]

On the one hand, Moana getting a live-action remake is stupid as hell cuz 1) the original movie isn’t even a decade old, and 2) there’s literally an animated sequel show ALREADY IN THE WORKS. Why make another CGI nightmare when that product already has a sequel being created as we speak?!

But on the other hand, I’m seeing people trashing Auli’i for “not being Polynesian” and wanting her replaced, while other people are hardcore fancasting another girl WHO ISN’T POLYNESIAN AT ALL

Auli’i is Hawaiian, just cuz she isn’t dark-skinned or 100% Hawaiian doesn’t mean she doesn’t qualify for the role, fight me in real life on this I don’t care. I don’t know if she’ll be any good as Moana’s live-action version, but lets not fucking GATEKEEP BASED ON BLOOD PERCENTAGE

[venranae]

The irony of my former friends to get obsessed over "i can fix him" monstrous characters that take a lot of understanding, time and effort to open up only to ignore their irl friend when she needs genuine help 😘

I'm rereading Discworld books and my god i have missed this world

Reread Monstrous Regiment last week & got hit with gender feels again. Rereading Wee Free Men right now and am going to cry from nostalgia bc its audiobook on long car drives was my intro to Pratchett & the Disc growing up

[yahargulian]

Trigun makes my brain go so crazy that I have, genuinely, been entertaining the thought of writing literature-degree-type essays on it for fun. Like cracking open books, going back into lit theory, references and everything. Just because I enjoy thinking about it and talking about it that much. Oh god

[fourspiceblend]

Ooooh, I think Takashi Nagasako is back as Ganondorf in JP 👀 the OG returns????

I am thinking about John holding my hands because they are cold. *Inhuman screech.*
