2-5, 7, 13, 14, 30, 31 and 34!

(Genshin Impact ask game)

2. Who is your favorite character?

Tartaglia. It's Tartaglia, to nobody's surprise. I don't know either, I didn't think much of him before I started playing and then he stole my heart and now he means the world to me. I got him to friendship level 6 today and spent half an hour writing the poorest excuse for an essay ever in an attempt to piece his character together from canon info only. I love him so goddamn much and he's disgustingly spoiled.

3. Your favorite party?

This is my current main team (I have a secondary team with Geo Aether, Jean and Ningguang for "utility" like puzzles and mining). Double pyro for the damage, Taru as the main DPS with Yanfei as backup when he's on cooldown or enemies are immune to hydro, Thoma for the shields, and Shinobu for healing and a bit of damage now that she's C4 and has a 4-piece Ocean-Hued Clam set (both of them for elemental reactions as well). Shinobu and Yanfei are a very good Overloaded duo, and Tartaglia can pretty much murder anything on his own but a bit of Vaporize or Electro-Charged is always welcome.

4. Which characters do you have (count all of them)?

That's all of them! So 22 total, but only about 14 that actually come from the gacha since you get a lot as quest rewards. Though interestingly enough, my Dori isn't an event reward since I'm not in Sumeru yet - I just rolled her.

Just... Don't look at their levels. It's a work in progress.

5. The character you don’t have but you want soso bad?

Zhongli, oh my god I want Zhongli so badly. He's my second favorite (I expected him to be the first but we all know what happened here) and I need his shield. For my sanity.

7. Who is your least favorite character?

For playables, I'm not huge on Mona though it's more her design - she's my "least favorite" in the sense that I like everyone else more, not that I dislike her. For NPCs I still hold the grudge of a lifetime against Keijirou for how tedious his stealth mission was.

13. Favorite enemy?

Ruin guards! I used to hate fighting them but loved their design (Castle in the Sky looking guys, how could I not?) but now that I have a built DPS I hunt them for sport and I have a blast every time. Fatui Pyro Agents are a very close second, they also have great designs and fighting styles.

14. Least favorite enemy?

So far it's still Geovishaps. My shielder isn't optimal for them, and they're just very annoying to fight - a close second is any kind of Lawachurl.

30. Something you like in general.

The music. Genshin has an incredible soundtrack, and I think for me it's part of why I enjoy the game so much. Good music really adds to a gaming experience.

31. Something you dislike in general.

The controls. They aren't bad, but there's no optimal setup - I play with a controller, which is nicer to sit back and relax while I play and also gives me better camera control, but it's not great for the instruments and most importantly it makes aiming with a bow incredibly hard. A bit of a problem when your main uses a bow... But I'm not willing to switch to keyboard for that reason alone, because for almost everything else I prefer using my controller.

34. What do you think of Paimon?

I genuinely, unironically adore Paimon. I still think it's due in part to how much nicer on the ears her voice is in the CN dub, but I also grew really fond of her. She's a dear friend to my Traveler, she cares about him so damn much and he cares about her too, and she's so endearing. If something happens to her I'll burn Teyvat to the ground.

the dream reborn world tour 2024

[antirepurp]

ough jojo stone ocean aughh my heart twists and turns as the shonen protagonist is a woman who kicks ass and is angry and determined and not above petty revenge, who fights by tearing apart her own body and gets her shit kicked in before she makes it out on top, whose end goal goes from saving her own father with whom she has a complicated relationship with to saving the entire goddamn universe and no one but a kid she befriended knows anything about it anymore. im not normal about jolyne's chase for freedom and agency after her life is set to quietly rot in a prison cell and im not normal about her friends who are driven by revenge and a search of identity and petty feelings and pure kindness and im not normal about how human they feel even when they get put into wacky and stupid and exaggerated situations. literally shaking and crying stone ocean is so dear to me

Boat Drinks (2/2) part 1

[imagionationstation]

“Can you listen?”

Raph’s world tilts, the same way it always does when he uses that tone of voice. “What?”

“Can you listen? Just, listen?”

He closes the comic immediately. “If I gotta.”

Mikey enters the room and sits. His head rests against the edge of the bed as Raph puts his feet on the floor. His brother stares at the roof, solemn.

“I think it’s my fault,” His voice doesn’t have the Mikey tint to it. It’s burdened and stiff. He hates it. “That no one likes me.”

Raph’s pinches his arm to stop the impulse to open his mouth.

Mikey’s eyes are distant. He’s faraway, stuck in thoughts that he hardly ever has, in a sluggish moment that makes his movements slow and each word pronounced. “I know I care be weird. And loud. And- and I see them. The looks. From.”

He stops, as if he can’t remember if there was more to that statement. Or maybe he doesn’t want there to be.

Mikey’s supposed to be an open book. And yet, sometimes even he can’t bear to flip his own pages.

“We’re different. I know that. Humans won’t like us. Because we’re... Monsters.” Mutants, he wants to correct, in the same way that he does when Donnie whispers the hateful freak to the mirror.

He digs his fingers into the sheets. Why does he have to watch, time and time again, as it spreads like a plague between them? “And- And not ‘cause we are. We just… It’s just that way for us.”

He looks up. Raph nods, a stiff motion. Not talking. Listening. 

“And I can be different. ‘Cause of my head. And my- my-” He waves vaguely to explain what they both already know. “And it’s not bad. But it can be. Bad. Annoying. And it’s okay. Donnie’s-” Another wave. “It’s not bad. It’s just us. But it’s. For me, it’s like.”

He looks at the ground. “I think. I think if you weren’t my family, I’d be alone.”

Don’t say it- “There’s Leatherhead.” DARN IT- 

“Yeah,” Mikey agrees, soft. Raph exhales, relieved. “Leatherhead’s my best friend.” 

There’s so much defeat. Raph bites his tongue. Mikey mutters, “I don’t know.” 

He waits. Mikey says, “Maybe he shouldn’t be.” 

Raph scoots down to the floor. Mikey doesn’t react. “He’s great. I don’t know what I’d do if he wasn’t. I don’t like thinking about it.”

The lost gaze drifts across the roof. “Sometimes I think I’d be better if I wasn’t me. If I was different. And then I want to change, but then Leo gives me the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack, and then he’s glittery and embarrassed and it’s… Fun. I have fun. But it can also be mean. And make people mad. And I don’t want to change. I don’t want to. But maybe I should.”

He leans on Raph’s shoulder, weighed by defeat. “Raph?”

Raph’s awful at this. He knows that. But he has to say something.

“Don’t know anything about should or shouldn’t. I know you’re my little brother. Don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t. You are. That’s all that matters to me. Which means we’re stuck with each other. You don’t want to change? Don’t.”

He hesitates, scanning his face for any hint that his words are having the right impact on him. “Nobody’s the boss of you but you. World sucks. Humans suck. Some people’ll like you for stupid and some people won’t. Leatherhead’s been around this long. Don’t see him running off any time soon.”

Mikey smiles, briefly. It falls.

Raph follows his gaze to the poster.

He mutters, “Thank, Raphie.”

Raph swallows the bubbling worry and says, “Sure, Mike.” 

They stay there until Mikey gains the strength to retreat to his room.

watching death note for the first time having only known tumblr memes about Light and L previously, and realizing that the well put together average jo lookin dude is NOT the detective and the slouchy emo bangs dude with the lifeless eyes is NOT the murderer... is kinda crazy.

something something headcannoning that ivan always touched tills neck instead of like his face or chest (for tills heartbeat or breathing) to analyze his vocal chords like he did with the others' emotions.. maybe this was to model his singing after tills since till was better at expressing his emotions through music (utte) rather than straight on communication 😐 he wanted to learn how to confess his love like till would 😐 so he could use it as a vehicle for catharsis and hope till would understand him in a last ditch effort

its like he goes for tills face if he wants to distract/comfort him but he goes for the neck if he needs to comfort himself. you could interpret the unlocking collar shot from round 3 as him *knowing* till would leave him and putting some sort of distance between his feelings. still, hes reaching for till so he had some vague hope it would turn out differently. on tills side every time ivan unlocks his collar that could be his own catharsis. emotional freedom because his main way of expressing himself (mouth + vocal chords) is freed

anyways you can apply that analysis to him moving his (left (guys go look at my other hand placement analysis ong frfr https://www.tumblr.com/pwippy/751805070639759360/minor-ivantill-details-hand-placement-and?source=share) hand from tills face to his neck in round 6 - "you'll be ok *so* i'll be ok" and its the same reassurance with the rest of his scenes

The Premise of this Threadfic: Homelander suckles on Billy Butcher’s d!ck until the stress and white noise in his evil blond head is gone. That’s it. That’s the plot.

CW: ⚠️🔞, some surface level Homelander whump because I think he deserves a lil pampering after the new episode. Vaguely inspired by The Boys 04x04 and Butcher’s gorgeous manly tatas

If you don’t have a Twitter account, screenshots are provided below the line break so you can read this update on Tumblr as well:

A/N - I can't believe this threadfic has its own behind-the-scenes backstory, but the first 25 tweets of how this threadfic initially started had been very different from what you see in this version. It was full of poignant lore and future S4 speculation, a dive into HL's psyche regarding his traumatic upbringing, and commentary about Compound V causing madness and tragedy to tie into what'll happen to Hugh Sr, ect.… It’d been saved in my Drafts; I’d been ready to click “Post All” after I found the perfect GIFs for the starter tweet. But then I'd accidentally pressed "DELETE" instead of "Save”—and all that work, vanished. Banished to the ether. RIP to what could've been. 🥲 I wasn't about to retype all that in my second attempt so I ended up simplifying it. And that's how we arrived here. :) Hope y'all enjoyed regardless! <3

Varadha's goofy ass boyfriend.

.

.

(Also it's so funny the way I didn't realize in the first watch the reason that Deva was wearing long sleeve on his left hand the entire time was in fact to cover Varadha's demon seal tattoo and not just to cover his electrocution scars or fashion statement only lmao his goofy ass made that tattoo by himself and then later used it as a brand for Varadha 😭 if this wasn't the kind of devotion at the highest order. He literally offered Varadha his demon persona for him to use as some kind of guardian devil watching over Khansaar bringing fear to all his enemies. Also that's why you shouldn't be tattooing anything on your skin that's related to your lovers when you're drunk in love with someone because when you two became ex-lovers it's too freaking embarrassing to see or show those tattoos to the public eyes lmao)
