Bruce accidentally gets shot by Jason and is in critical condition

I read this idea somewhere, so it isn't really mine, but I'd really love to see it written please if you feel comfortable

ohohohohoh!!! this is do delicious i can just ~feel~ the angst... lemme see if i have anything inside that can write this well...

Jason was pissed at Bruce. That, actually, wasn't unusual. Jason was used to living in a perpetual state of pissed off-ness for the man who was had once been his father. What was unusual, however, was the fact that he had still agreed to come on this mission with him, with his Replacement no less.

Jason didn't hate Tim. Anymore. The kid was smart and witty and good, with a sort of spark, a need to be Robin that neither Dick nor Jason had really had. It didn't dilute the sting of the betrayal, but Jason could respect the kid. And was marginally more understanding as to Bruce's reasons for taking him in. Marginally.

But his hatred for Bruce and his only accepting behavior towards Tim did not mean he didn't have their backs. Well, it could've, and at this point Jason wouldn't have put it past Bruce to still take him on a mission without fully trusting Jason to guard his back, but it didn't matter anyway, because Jason had both their backs.

Like now, for instance. Jason cursed as the man opposite Tim pulled a gun. "Fucks sake." Jason reached for his own, previously holstered because he was aware of Bruce's dislike for them and didn't actually want to kill anyone, not while he was on the Bats turf and could get repercussions at least, and aimed.

The gunshot slashed through the air, hard and unforgiving, unflinching. It was why Jason could do nothing but stare in horror as Bruce made his move, diving in front of Tim, willing to take the bullet of the attacker for him, unsuspecting of the bullet flying at him from behind. Tim's eyes were wide in fear. Bruce went down. The goons fled.

Tim dropped to his knees immediately, hands moving, tugging out gadgets and tools from Bruce's belt and his own with a familiarity that made Jason's heart throb. "Help me!" The kid screamed and Jason realized he had been stuck, frozen, watching hollowly as Bruce's blood pooled around him.

"Please." Tim gasped, and Jason hesitated as tears streamed down Tim's throat, hands shaking as he tried to apply pressure and staunch the flow of blood. It wouldn't be enough. The bullet had flown through his shoulder, a clean hit, at least, but it had hit too many main blood vessels. If they didn't move fast....

Jason dropped down beside him, tying quick knots and connected his comm line. "Oracle! Come in." "Hood. What do you need?" Babs voice was detached, but not cold. "B's been hit. Please." She didn't answer, but Nightwing appeared only a moment later, eyes cold with a hatred and fear Jason had never seen before.

They whisked him to the manor, and it was more autopilot than invitation that Jason followed, the hollowness inside him turning numb as Alfred paled at the sight of the wound, Leslie already having been called. "Its critical." The doctor revealed, grim, but she finished her work, and promised to return in the morning.

Alfred watched over Bruce, hovering, periodically cleaning and changing his bandages. No one bothered to tell him it was unnecessary. "What happened." Dick growled when Bruce was finally taken care of, the only other sound filling the cave the beeping of his heart monitor.

"He took a bullet for me." Tim answered, and bile built in Jason's mouth at the shakiness of his voice. Because if he hadn't fired, Bruce truly would've taken a bullet for him. But... if he hadn't fired then Bruce wouldn't have taken his bullet, just the other guys but... his mind was too frazzled.

Dick seemed to calm a little at the explanation, and Jason waited, tense, for Tim to reveal it was Jason's bullet he had taken, but he didn't. Just followed Dick silently over to Bruce's side and squeezed his hand. "Get better B." Dick whispered, and Jason's heart squeezed as his brothers voice broke.

"Come on," Dick nudged Tim's back, pushing him to the stairs. "It won't help him if you stay awake all night." Jason fought his snort of "hypocrite." Because Bruce would stay up all night. And Dick was guaranteed to come back downstairs the second Tim was in bed and do the same. But, at least he was watching over Tim. The way he had never done for Jason.

They all left, Alfred going to the kitchen to make tea to calm himself, and if Jason had a clearer mind he might've thought a little on it, how they all trusted him. Alone. In the Batcave. With an injured Bruce. But he didn't, so he slouched onto the chair next to Bruce instead, head heavy.

"I'm sorry." He gasped weakly. He didn't know how long he'd been sitting there silently. How long it'd been since he started speaking. "I'm so fucking sorry B. I-I just... I'm wrong, and I'm broken, and we're broken and I just don't- I don't know how to fix it!" He scrubbed his nose, sniffling hard.

"I'm so sorry Bruce. I thought... I thought I was better, I thought- you were right. Guns suck-" His breath trembled and it took every ounce of self control for Jason not to break, not to collapse and sob. Because if Bruce died... It would be his fault. And if Bruce died, he had no doubts Tim would stop his silence for Jason. And if Dick found out the truth... If Bruce died Jason had no doubts in his mind that his son would avenge him. If Bruce died Jason wasn't sure he'd even try to stop it.

"I miss you." He whispered. "I do and it hurts and I hate it, but I just can't stop and why do you have to be so difficult?" Jason let out a shaky sob, pressing his hands to his eyes. "Why can't you ever just let things be fucking easy?" He begged. "Why can't we just go back to being fucking easy?" His voice sounded pitiful to his own ears.

"language." Bruce rasped. "B!" Jason almost toppled the chair with the force with which he leapt forward, grasping the older man's hand. Bruce offered a small, constrained smile. "Hey Jaylad." Jason sobbed, throwing himself on top of his father. "I miss you too." Bruce murmured, and as his arm wrapped around Jason's back, Jason felt a portion of his anger chip away.

okay, lets seee... How about Qi Qingqi x OG!Shen Qingqiu?

oh you are SO brave right now, that is not a ship I often see. I've read a very funny one where SY!SQQ genderbent and needed to be fucked and turned to QQQ for it amongst others, DEEPLY hilarious fic to me, can't remember the name right now.

But QQQ and OG!SQQ...

*thinks* gosh it really depends on what angle one goes for. I always hc them as having a REALLY fucking weird rivalry kind of relationship.

Like, he goes to brothels and is an unpleasant bitch, meanwhile she rejects the classic gender norms and is ALSO leaning into being a Bitch (rather than being a mild elegant Lady, she will kick you in the nuts and also maybe stab you)

SQQ is also weird about women and QQQ is kinda weird about men. They would, I imagine, start out as extremely angry fuck buddies. By which I mean they get physical and then it derails into fucking. And they would NOT acknowledge this at all. And then keep at it. Just....... constantly ending up furiously trying to put the other in their place, and SQQ would almost always lose because he is, again, WEIRD about women and would pull his punches until it's too late and QQQ meanwhile would take Offense and go Full Feral in return. But also SQQ hates losing. Imagine a cat fight. That's them. But like. Horny.

LQG would be terribly jealous and not even know why. tbh most people would be jealous, it's just that most want to be SQQ while LQG and YQY would want to be QQQ.

Eventually, if things ever chilled out, I think they would still never make it official (QQQ feels like she would refuse marriage) but Everyone Would Know and also they would be so catty against outsiders. Like no! Only they are allowed to talk shit about that bitch. How dare you attempt it???

...... poor LQG in this au, wow.

On the other hand, if SQQ was a woman? Trans or cis, doesn't matter, I think QQQ would be So Normal about her. I think YQY would eye her with worry every time SQQ is in the room. I think she would be so, so hot for this Ice Queen of a Woman and meanwhile SQQ would SOMEHOW be oblivious to this, because Only Men Are Horny Degenerates. fem!SQQ wouldn't know how wrong that is.

It would take years for it to get through her head. She would be Horrified and then Morbidly Fascinated and then they would become THE power couple of the cultivation world and QQQ would be so smug about bagging such a baddie.

In either au, they would form a very deep bond that absolutely no one understands.

[rainystressed247]

Ohhhh!! Can we talk about the Pokemon AU?? What ideas do you have for professors and gym leaders? What about a regional champion?? I 100% think that Techno is the regional champion and Phil could be either a professor or part of the Elite 4! Tommy can be the scrappy teen that is trying to accomplish the gym challenges and try to fight Techno for the title! Dream can be his unofficial mentor the one that comes by when things get tricky with the evil team and then had a dramatic twist of “he is the villain but actually not, he is just a tragic figure”

*crack my back and rise* Be prepared for a long post because I have a lot of them in my brain.

Original pokemon AU (base plan):

The original headcanon I had for the pokemon AU is more based around cc!Dream with a dash of drama from canon linked here! You are absolutely right that Techno is the champion and has and will continue to challenge and enter competition even outside of his region! Phil can absolutely be one of the professors! He can be invested in the study of fossil or death >.< The gym leaders are pretty loose as I don't give much thoughts to that tbh, but I do think that Tina as grass leader, Puffy as water, etc. Maybe I will throw in the newer mafia, who knows? I definitely see Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo as the trio working their way through gym challenges, stumbling into villain organisation and accidentally saving the world hahaha.

Dream in this AU is more laid back, not liking to battle but his pokemon has maxed out friendship and can definitely rain hell on any trainers foolish enough to approach with ill intention. He works in a pokemon daycare during his free time and will give out friendship eevee for those close to him. His care to the pokemon means that most of the eevees have good EV! He definitely gets dragged into the plot unknowingly, much to the dismay of his close friends.

This AU is mostly chill and just shenanigans!

The B side of the Pokemon AU:

This, this is the part where things start to derail for me because if I can have a pokemon AU based on the cc why not go all the way to c!Dream as well.

So this is an alternate Pokemon AU involving c!character. In this side of the AU, c!Dream still possess the revival book and because of that, he forces himself to release all his pokemon with the intention to perish witht the revival book. In the process of destroying the book, he accidentally intergrate the book with himself so we now have an immortal walking revival book that is Dream. Worried that he and any of his close ones will get targeted, he devoted himself a life of a lone hermit and proceed to travel the land in hope to find a way to truly end his existence. He does, however, perform small miracle act subtly whenever he passes by someone or some pokemon in need of help as a way to atone for his sins. He makes sure to do it discreetly so that he would not gather unintended attention.

Alas, sometimes people still put two to two together so he still occasionally gets targeted. What he doesn't know is that most of the people he helped one way or another, does in fact help cover up his trail, misleading any hunters after him. Dream has one pokemon willingly follow him; a stubborn Charcadet, which prove to be a good helper by saving Dream multiple time in their travel.

Dream can hold his own against pokemons in this AU. He kinda has to, as he doesn't have a companion pokemon of his own for the longest time. Phil, as the angel of Death or the guardian in pokemon term is actively tracking down Dream to detain the revival book, but after he witness the bond between Dream and Ceruledge, he let Dream go with the condition that should Dream one day run into any problem bigger than he could handle, he would find Phil to help.

Techno is one of the child Dream helped revive on a whim. He was born sickly and wasn't supposed to make it past the night, well, if Dream hasn't shown up like a wet cat on his doorway. Techno still makes fun of him on the off chance that they met. Because of the second chance, Techno was able to become an extraordinary trainer. He helps out Dream whenever he can and even offer a roof for the homeless Dream to stay in. Dream refused ofc, but he would crash in from time to time to rest.

Speaking of the B side, it leads to an uncontrollable spiral in which I start imagining Pokemon with any and most of my AUs. Like would syndicate!Dream has an Eevee as well or would he has a Arcanine, I can totally see him accidentally taming Zygrade (Dog) without knowing it as a legendary. Also witch!Dream would have a Hatterene. Cornelius can have a Floette, Hubert and Indeedee works because of the bulter theme. Can you see how I am absolutely normal and not being able to talk about this has only made me more normal?

Anyways, thanks for the ask and sorry for taking so long to reply. It is...a lot.

[class1akids]

Tbh as an early doors Ochaco fan looking at how she ended up just makes me feel kinda sad… Like when I first got to know her I thought it was so interesting how she was the character who wanted to become a hero for the money, and the fact that wasn’t presented as a moral failing. Why did we stop doing that? It could have been such an interesting look in the way mha society prioritises heros, and the fact that, as in real life, people have a variety of motivations for doing what they do. She could have been such a good starter to the idea that the society they lived in wasn’t fair and equal. Instead I had to sit there like a frog in a pan, watching as my girl was gutted of her original drive, waifuised, and paraded around the town stuffed with other people’s plot lines…

Now a pile of frog bones in a boiled dry pot, I wonder if there was ever a time when these sort of plot lines were ever going to be followed through, and what the original plan was for them (or even if there was one).

I used to find Uraraka refreshing too in her poor girl era and I think that would have been such an interesting topic to explore.

I feel like her arc got derailed when Toga was created (according Hori for Uraraka's sake, but I can't help to view it the other way around - I think Hori fell in love with Toga's yandere design and twisted Uraraka to fit her). This is why we got the sudden crush storyline in the Midterms, which was when I also stopped liking Uraraka.

I find it weird that some fans are so happy with her conclusion - to me, it does look like she was reduced to the typical shonen love interest.

SLoTLT talk

Tbh I kinda disliked STH in this movie. SLoTLT was a fantastic movie, don't get me wrong but STH was the only character who I feel was a bit too mean in it. I understand he's a controller so he has to be strict and bossy, but he didn't even let Thomas explain ANYTHING of what happened.

When Thomas derailed Gordon's coaches, he tried explaining to Sir Topham Hatt what happened and likely due to panicking, he ended up blaming Emily and Gordon. Also, the whole thing wouldn't have happened if Gordon hadn't teased him. Did STH ever think to ask around for what happened?? He could've asked Annie and Clarabel, or even James or the workers!

Also, about Thomas's behaviour; there's people who complain that Thomas is too dickish in the movie, but...isn't that kinda part of his character? Thomas has ALWAYS been a cheeky prick, and if you look at the Unlucky Tug's movie ranking vid, he mentions that SLoTLT is where Thomas's personality is TOTALLY CORRECT. Yeah, he was also in the wrong for the incident at Knapford, but again, Gordon set him off into a cheeky mood. I reckon if Gordon hadn't said anything, Thomas probably wouldn't have done that. Emphasis on probably.

Also, I can I just say that the antagonist, Sailor John is absolutely RUTHLESS?! He blows up Knapford station, he wacks Thomas in the face with an ore and throws live dynamite at him! It's not sugar-coated in any way. I'm also sure he abuses Skiff?? He stomps on his deck, kicks him and threatens him. That's pretty dark, in fact the whole Sailor John part of the movie is dark.

I wish people talked about the movie and this villian more. One more thing; if you've ever looked at the wiki about him, it says he was originally part of the Royal Navy! This guy has lore.

Jane Doe (Ride the Cyclone) Propaganda:

Great singing, also she’s literally wearing a doll‘s head bc she lost hers

do they have their soul or is it rotting somewhere with their head?

BALLAD OF JANE DOE IS SO SAD AND SHE IS GREAT AND I ONLY WATCH RTC ONCE BUT SHES NY FAVE OK

cool asf

She forgets her name after her death and has no story told in the production

She's so sweet and deserves the world. Her song (The Ballad of Jane Doe) is great.

the song goes so hard just listen to her song guys please

she literally died and her head was cut off so nobody could tell who she was PLEASE let her take one (1) W

BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING. First she already won the tournament in the musical to regain life, as she won them over with her sad wet cat energy because she did not have a head and feared that she lost her soul. Second, she died on a roller coaster and lost her head, but stole her doll's head and thats very gender. Third, throughout the musical she is used as a vessel for religious allegory, she is an angel, she is jesus, she is a demon, she is forsaken but she is purity itself. Fourthly, she is is given the identity of Savannah with the greenest eyes after the other characters who died with her hold her a birthday party, and I think thats sweet because its probably some kind of meaning I cant see but auughfhfhh shes so cool

i mean her name isn't TECHNICALLY jane doe but we refer to her as such. she's so silly!! autism powers! i don't have a lot of propaganda tbh. i would've just been surprised had she NOT been submitted

She lost her head literally when the rollercoaster derailed. She wasn't able to be identified apart from the school uniform she was wearing.

Her name is forgotten, and so is everything about her. So she’s called Jane Doe. She’s very sweet and very creepy, but she doesn’t mean it

and im asking WHYYYYY LORRRRRDDD

I LOVE HER! she died in a roller coaster accident and was decapitated, her body not being found. in the show, her head is actually just her doll’s head. the coroners couldn’t identify her, so she was dubbed a jane doe. in the game to be alive again, she ends up being voted, her name being revealed to be penny lamb. anyways she’s a little creepy and also quite silly and she does her funny little waddle like a porcelain doll (or corpse).

She deserves it! She lost her head she shouldn't lose this too.

Not convinced you didn’t start this tournament just for her tbh

They have a great song and a true air of mystery to them. They also have arguably the best song in the musical, The Ballad of Jane Doe! I would definitely recommend listening to it >:)

—She LOST her HEAD and had it replaced with a PORCELAIN DOLL —In all seriousness her story is really poignant. No one could identify her body so she arrives in the afterlife not knowing her identity and she spends the show vacillating between depressed and angry at her situation, leading to… —“The Ballad of Jane Doe”, specifically Emily Rohm’s version, might be the most haunting solo in musical theatre history.

John Doe (Milgram) Propaganda:

well atp hes prolly not gonna be forgiven in the trials so hopefully he can at least get farther in this

in a supernatural prison full of sympathetic murderers, john just so happened to be the one corner case. neither a prisoner nor a warden, he's just kinda there! the one being officially (if not legally.) prosecuted for the crime is his alter, kayano mikoto, although it's unclear which one of them actually killed someone. after getting the verdict of "unforgiven" in the first trial of three for their crime, john is certainly being insistent on the fact that he's an entirely horrible person who killed without measure; all for the sake of becoming the scapegoat and diverting the negative attention from mikoto. he's just a little shit who would do anything for the person he cares about the most in the world and who hates himself so so bad. deep devotion? he has that. grey morals? absolutely. homoeroticism? you tell me. mainstream tumblr you would love him. also his name is like that because a fifteen-year-old amnesiac called es named him (while the events take place in japan) so do with that what you will

[soleminisanction]

U know i do kinda find it weird how some make steph have camaraderie w the ppl that tim knows

Like outside of the generaal batfam sphere(excluding helena bc she is a outlier and maybe jason but even then they get paired up in fandom spaces)

She just not?? Amicable or a team player tbh

Like in yj19 all the sudden the c4(excluding tim) are cool w steph??? Like what? When did that happen???

(or even that arc that they went to evil alt earth where they are all evil but steph isnt??? Writer did u not even realize what you have said about the other steph???)

Idk i just think of all bat character, she is to be stricly gotham base

I give Brian Michael Bendis (the writer on YJ19) a pass because I was following him on Twitter from the point YJ19 and the Wonder Comics imprint was announced, all the way through the end of that series.

From the second the announcement was made, his social media was completely inundated with people demanding that Stephanie be included in YJ19, entirely because she'd last been seen leaving Gotham with Tim. He also got flooded with asks about whether Cissie would make an appearance, or Aqualad (because YJ animated was still at the peak of its popularity and there was a whole contingent of fans who had zero clue that Kaldur was created for that show and that Jackson Hyde looks like but isn't exactly him), but with Steph? He and his co-creators got full on harassed, and it only got worse because she happened to turn up in a flashback in Issue 4. There were Internet journalists who derailed interviews he was giving to hype up his new Black and gay heroines just to demand more Stephanie, it was bad.

And then there was this whole mess that's going to be hard to explain succinctly. But it boils down to: given the timing of when the series was announced, they almost certainly had issues #1-#3 fully drawn and either at or on its way to the printer, issues #4-6 at least partially drawn and colored, issues #7-9 completely scripted and possibly with pencil drafts under way, and issues #10-12 drafted, with an outline already prepared for the second year if they thought they were going to go beyond 12.

But then something happened after the announcement -- and it had to have been after the announcement, otherwise they could've pushed back their release dates -- that led them to rewrite the entire second half of the year, everything from the end of #5 on. You can tell because the covers, which get made ahead of the rest of the issue, start going really wonky from #6 on and don't match up with the contents of the story, plus there's disconnect in the early solicitations. Also they skipped a month between #6 and #7 while making #7 basically a filler issue with guest artists who happen to have very simple, quick-draw cartoony styles that are easier to produce in a hurry.

That kind of turn-around on a publishing project is nuts, it's not fun to deal with. I would be surprised if Bendis had time to give his artists more than a "shitty rough draft" to work off of. But like I said he was still getting this constant barrage of demands for Steph so, as long as he was doing rewrites anyway, he took the chance to drop her in, or maybe the editor insisted he do so to try to bring in more readers. Either way, he just didn't have the time to make it good or put any thought into it.

I honestly feel so bad for their whole creative team. That's such a terrible situation to be in, and the first five issues make me feel like they were really putting their hearts into it. It's so sad it got derailed so badly.

[fandomwe1rd0]

Rick and Morty: The Anime ranking!

Oh god I dreaded this day. Sooo if you wanna see me angrily ranting about a cartoon, this is the post for you! I will be ranking every episode of the Rick and Morty anime! Just to be clear, I'm not gonna do tiers like how I did for the show, since in comparison to the actual show, all of these would be F tier or AT BEST D tier, so just keep in mind in comparison to the actual show, these are Fs, I will still try to be detailed with the reviews though. Also I had to torture myself to rewatch the anime for this ranking, I hope you guys are happy, I had to force my eyeballs open Clockwork Orange style, y'all just want to see me suffer. I had to drink coffee to get through this because this was so bad and I needed some engry cause this was so soul sucking that it took all of my motivation. AND I DON'T EVEN FUCKING DRINK COFFEE BECAUSE IT'S TOO BITTER! I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAPPY! YOU DID THIS! (Just kidding, I love y'all mwah!) Ok now that I'm done bitching and moaning, let's get this going by continuing to bitch and moan about the anime! Now, I am aware that some people like the anime, and if you do, that's perfectly fine! Not everyone HAS to have the same opinion as me, I mean this is just a cartoon anyway, buttttt if you do like it, I would suggest skipping this post since my opinion on it is uhhh very negative especially if you like Elle, I will be very mean to her, this post will be an extermely unhinged rant, so please enjoy while I suffer! Spoilers for the anime ahead! Reviews under the cut! Unlike my previous tier list, I will be starting from the best and working my way down, let's get this started!

1. Fighting Mother. This is the best episode of the series! That being said it's still...not...good...I mean let's start off with the positives, the reason why this episode is the best one is because the animation for the combat is really good! Especially the animation in the fight scene between Space Beth and Tammy it's admittedly really smooth, like I kid you not it's actually...good! I feel like it's what the anime COULD'VE been but just...wasn't, it sucks because it could've been good but it just...isn't. This episode is mercifully short, being only 17 minutes. And baby Morty is adorable. I also do like Shaggy Rick, I feel like his character is legitimately interesting, too bad they didn't do as much as they could've done with it. Space Beth was also admittedly likable. Also Elle isn't here! Yayyyy! FUCK ELLE! Also, the music for the fight scene between Space Beth and Tammy fucking SLAPS! I just wish the fight scene was longer tbh. Ok anyway onto the negatives, the side plot between the Ricks are...fine...I guess, I've got no opinion on it, it's just kinda boring. I don't like the weird moral high ground Rick takes, why is he bothered at all by Shaggy Rick "throwing that family away"? Also...how is Shaggy Rick throwing that family away? Am I dumb or what? Also, NO THE RICK FROM THE ANIME IS NOT C-137! SAY SIKE RN! Also the ending is so random and anti climatic. And this is the first instance of them turning Morty into a pathetic little bitch boy and Rick being an asshole with no charmisa, charm, humor, or anything that made him my favorite character in the first place, all he is is that slightly grumpy old man all of the girl scouts hate being assigned at the nursing home! Woowee I love it when my favorite characters are derailed and turned into twisted shadows of their former self written by a bad fanfic don't you!?

2. Alien Elle. You know the episode is gonna suck when Elle's name is in the title. Fucking ELLE! Stupid fucking self-insert mary sue...ok, ok, being mean...lemme start with the positives! Uh...Shaggy Rick is back...so uhm...that's cool I guess. I also like how we get a canon Morty birthday, also...MORTY'S HEIGHT IS DIFFERENT IN THE ANIME! SEE?! THAT'S PROOF THAT THAT'S NOT MY BOY! (I-I mean I know it's space Morty but please shut up...) Either that or the anime writers didn't watch the show before making the anime....nahhhh of COURSE they watched the show that's why the show is so much like the anime right....? Righhtttttttt? (Watching the anime fucking sucks please kill me) Also, I'm sure this was unintentional, but the scene where Morty is looking for Elle kinda parallels the scene where Rick is looking for Prime, so that's cool! I mean even down the Morty printing a picture Elle out of his head like how Rick did with Prime! Too bad I care so little about Elle. Okay! Onto the negatives! Fucking ELLE! She HAD to ruin the episode, of course she randomly earns someone's trust because her style is just wonderful! Even though they didn't even know a damn thing about each other! This episode is so goddamn BORING! Like it bores me out of my mind, like most of the anime but still. Elle and Morty's relationship is again very rushed and boring. They are the reason why the rule "Show, don't tell" exists! It tells us about how happy and amazing Elle is and how much Morty loves her without showing it to us, and Morty is just reduced to being Elle's proud boyfriend, I mean he isn't even doing good things because he's just a good natured kid, it's all for FUCKING ELLE IT SUCKS IT SUCKS SO BAD! I don't like the rants they go on about multiverse, they try too hard to sound smart. And Space Morty and Rick's dynamic is just...kinda lame honestly, it's just a cliche mentor-student relationship that's been protrayed hundreds of times before, which is huge wasted potential, you could've grappled more with Shaggy Rick's guilt since he feels like he's replacing his original Morty who died, that could've been some serious interesting internal conflict that coul;d've fleshed him out as a character! But nope! All he does is tell Morty not to call him grandpa andddd...that's it! OH WOW I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH DON'T YOU ALL OF THE CHARACTERS ARE TOTALLY HUMAN AND COMPLEX AND NOT AT ALL SEEM LIKE THEY ARE FORM A BAD FANFIC I LOVE THIS ANIME DON'T YOU?! This episode also sucks! But I mean, it didn't infuriate me as much as I thought it would, it mostly just bored me out of my school, this episode probably would've been better if it wasn't for FUCKING ELLE! FUCK ELLE! ALL MY HOMIES HATE ELLE! Although that can be said for any episode of the anime so eh.

3. Family. UGHHH WHY IS THIS EPISODE 21 MINUTES JUST LET ME DIE NOW PLEASE! Uhh on the plus side, YAY WE GET MINIMUM ELLE IN THIS EPISODE! I mean…she's still here but at least she doesn't do much. Jerry and Jerry Prime are…fine…even though I care very little about Jerry's superhero arc. Now onto the negatives! This episode doesn't have a lot of positives, but it doesn't have a lot of negatives either, it's just a boring, unmemorable episode. Rick and Morty do interact, but it's just kinda boring and it sucks how they can make their dynamic boring, Morty is a damsel in distress, Rick is a boring character, Jerry is just a goofy dad who's also a superhero…for some reason…they also make Jerry pathetic but eh…I mean at least they are trying to do something that the original show did…why is a weird green guy here? What purpose does he bring to the story? And some of the dialogue feels unnatural, Mr. Nimbus is here, but he doesn't do much, at least his character wasn't assassinated like my boys. I know it tried for a happy family, but I care so little for this version of the Smith family that I felt nothinggg! Really this episode is just boring, but at least it's not infuriatingly bad.

4. When we Meet in our Dreams. This episode is just another boring one. There's not a whole lotta positives, but I guess Space Beth was ok. And so was Shaggy Rick, still wasted potential though. He could've been SO much more interesting. I mean the story here at least made some amount of sense, like I was actually able to follow along! A rare treat in the anime! There's a lot of action, but none of it is particularly interesting in my personal opinion. Elle is here and she sucks but she doesn't have a lot of screentime, so she doesn't make the episode suck as much as she usually does. But of FUCKING course Space Morty's last words are "I love you Elle" EVEN THOUGH HIS MOM AND GRANDPA ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE BUT NOPE HE JUST WANTED TO TALK TO ELLE! I really did not care about his death and it's anti climatic, but it could've been worse I guess, I just care very little about Space Morty since he's only been in a handful of episodes. Elle like sacrifices herself to save Morty? I dunno it's very convoluted and stupid. This episode is just kinda boring, but at least it isn't infuriating.

5. The Girl Who Manipulates Time. I…am so confused…why was there an alternate version of Summer if she's never seen or heard from again…w-why is she here? Why was that needed? I mean..I guess the gay drama between alien bureaucrats are…fine…I mean it's one of the only entertaining things about the anime…so uh…there's that. Wait wait no start with the positives…uhhhh I like the theme song, I mean that's a positive about every episode but this was the first time we see it, and I hate that it's actually really good…like I'm sorry but it might actually be better than the show's theme song, but of course fucking ELLE is in every single frame. Fuck Elle fr. But whatever, the theme song's good! It does a good job hyping you up. The backgrounds here are admittedly really pretty. Uhm…I guess every character is…ok? I mean they are all kinda boring but…they aren't…unlikable. I will give this some leeway, since first episodes tend to be a little iffy. Now onto the negatives! The plot is extremely basic, it's been done a million times, being stuck in a simulation, Tron, Die Now, Free Guy…need I go on? This episode introduces a boring side character that only gets brought up in this episode and the finale, and no, you do not need to watch this episode to understand his role in the finale, he literally just exists here to pad out run time and he is so forgettable I can't remember his name, I just watched this episode and I don't remember. Elle unconsensually kisses Morty so that is not big fun, and she like…never gets called out for this? It's just acted like some normal thing people in healthy relationships do? Like no bitch, DON'T KISS SOMEONE WHO CLEARLY DOESN'T REMEMBER YOU! Also Rick so clearly doesn't care about Morty in the anime, I'm sorry, he literally didn't care enough to make sure Morty could come back from the game no matter how deep he got, #notmyrick. This is embarrassing for a Rick fan like me, this isn't my favorite character ok!? I refuse to believe my Rick and the Rick from the anime are the same person. The story is confusing but it's trying to make you think it's smart by using smart people words, but it doesn't work and makes it more confusing. And of course, Rick and Morty don't interact, which is a trend in the anime. What? You thought Rick and Morty would interact in a show called RICK AND MORTY THE ANIME!? No! Of course not! Don't be stupid! A-also how…how can Elle not tell that our Morty isn't space Morty? S-she can tell the future…why…why are you even giving her that power if she isn't going to use it…? Plothole ahoy! Also…who's gonna tell the writers of the anime that being able to manipulate time and being able to tell the future isn't the same thing…? Also of fucking course Elle's ridiculously over powered…also her and Morty's relationship is extremely forced. Anyways, this episode sucks. Shitty start for a shitty series, it's fitting, really.

6. Memories. Another mercifully short episode! Only 18 minutes! Let's get the positives out off the way first! I did feel like Jerry was pretty in character, although I kinda dislike how all they made him was a goofy dad- wait. positives. I need to talk about the positives…uhhhh Summer was fine I guess…I like how they didn't do any weird clone shit with the Beths, although I feel like they could've expanded more on the tension between them, uhm…I liked how it showed the conflict between Beth and Jerry's marriage, even if they ended up doing nothing with it!! Uhhh Shaggy Rick has 1 good scene where he thought about his dead Morty so that's cool ig…they still do nothing with it though. YAY WHAT A GREAT ANIME! THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COMPLEX! Morty isn't made into a pathetic bitch boy! But he is made into just being Elle's proud boyfriend..hm. Ok onto the negatives! Rick and Morty interact but it fucking SUCKS! Rick is just an asshole to Morty and not in a lovable way, I mean he literally threatened to CLONE MORTY IN THEIR FIRST MINUTE OF MEETING WHAT THE FUCK! And Morty of course doesn't say anything because he can't stand up for himself in the anime I guess. They try too hard to make emotional moments, like with Morty and Shaggy Rick, but they only had one episode, so the amount I care about their relationship is very, VERY little. Shaggy Rick is infinite wasted potential, I get they want to have mutiple storylines, but I am just confused. ELLE IS FUCKING HERE AGAIN BEING A FUCKING MARU SUE AND GIVING THE CHARACTERS THE ADVICE THEY NEED OF FUCKING COURSE AND EVERYONE TRUSTS HER WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT EVEN FUCKING RICK WHO'S WHOLE THING IS THAT HE HAS TROUBLE TRUSTING OTHER PEOPLE! AND OF COURSE SHE FUCKING SAVES RICK! BECAUSE SHE"S PERFECT AND AMAZING SHE"S SUCH A SHITTY FUCKING CHARACTER! AND EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY FUCKING TRUSTS HER AND LOVES HER INSTANTLY AND WHY IS BETH SO FUCKING DUMB WHY LET A COMPLETE STRANGER LIVE WITH YOU AND SLEEP IN YOUR SON'S ROOM YOU KNOW THEY ARE DATING AND YOU KNOW WHAT TEENAGERS DO YOU FUCKING IDIOT AND HOW CAN ELLE NOT TELL THAT THIS ISN'T SPACE MORTY SHE CAN TELL THE FUTURE HAVE HER USE IT FUCK NO I WON'T TAKE MY ANGER MEDS FUCK OFF

7. Feel, Don't Think. This episode fucking sucks. WHY IS IT 20 MINUTES! Again, no positives so let's just angrily rant about the episode together! Unless you like this episode in that case uh…I'm sorry. Elle is again worshipped, the stakes are very low but they are supposed to be high, I just care very little about these characters, Morty is turned into a pathetic little bitch boy, Rick is just an asshole with no depth, I mean…at least the story made sense? But that really shouldn't be a positive. Rick and Morty do interact, but it wasn't anything great, Rick is just an asshole and regresses back to how he was in season 4 of the show, which fucking sucks. They make a puberty joke with Morty that just wasn't funny, and again I care very little about Elle, I fucking hate that bitch, can we stop focusing on her? Please? No? We still got 2 episodes to go…ughhhh…just kill me now.

8. A Pain in the Back. This episode was a pain in the back to get through (Heh, heh. Funny joke.) A very Elle heavy episode...whatever this is the finale..let's just get this over with so I can watch something good and be done with this anime...ok so one positive..gay representation! Frank, yeah that was the forgettable guy's name, has a thing for Morty...why is this anime so romance heavy? Whatever, even though nothing happens, it's still kinda cool to see, but for some reason Morty keeps going out of his way to spend time with him despite being married to Elle, yeah he marries Elle and despite Morty having 2 adults models, they just use him as a kid for some reason, Morty isn't a pathetic bitch boy, but he's just a boring stupid character. Rick suddenly cares about Morty now...because that was what the show does so we have to do it but we have to do it significantly worse! It feels so forced and unnatural because Rick never cared about Morty until the plot demanded it, I mean he literally hesitated and told Elle not to be stupid when she told him to do something that will save Morty last episode, A Rickle in Time? That episode never existed silly! You're just making stuff up in your head again! (I AM GASLIGHTING YOU!) And the ending tries to be impactful but it solves nothing, I did find it kind of funny that nobody cared when Elle died though since it was meant to be an emotional moment when it happened but it wasn't enough to save this dumpster fire of a finale.

9. Her Innermost Wish. This episode again fucking sucks, Elle dies and I legit feel nothing. Morty is so fucking pathetic, he cries 10 times in this episode. Space Beth for some reason can't fathom why someone like Elle would want to date MORTY because Elle is perfect because ofc she is. I care very little about Elle and Space Morty but they try to make us emotional but it doesn't work. Elle is surprised that Morty isn't Space Morty b-but…she can tell the future..I h-how did she not know MAKE YOUR ANIME MAKE SENSE WHY DID YOU EVEN MAKE IT THAT ELLE CAN TELL THE FUTURE IT LITERALLY DOES NOTHING AT ALL AND JUST ADDS A HUGE GLARING PLOTHOLE AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T NOTICE PLOTHOLES. Rick and Morty hug, but it feels so empty because they barely even interacted and Rick showed no sign of caring about Morty. And again, STOP FOCUSING ON ELLE I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER BITCH ASS! Oh god they're aren't going to stop…I wanna die

10. Free Will. No...god no please no..no...NOOOO! I was dreading this episode I promise you, it is SO BAD! UGHH WHY IS IT SO LONG 19 MINUTES!? WHYYY! I'll be honest, there really isn't any positives, so I'll just rant about this episode, good? Good. Why is Tammy in the opening? it does nothing and contributes nothing it's just there to pad out the run time. Oh boy I love filler! Elle fucking sucks as usual, if you weren't convinced she's a mary sue now, you will be convinced after this episode, everyone praises Elle and talks about how amazing she is, Beth talks about how much she likes the girl, she's already popular at school, they try to surprise you by revealing that Elle is anti-matter but I literally wasn't surprised at all, there is also no foreshadowing but they treat it like some super cool reveal. And basically she is anti matter and unless Rick gets rid of some device, the world will slowly deterorate because matter and anti matter can't exist in the same place, and this was the PERFECT chance to give Elle SOME personality but nope! Whatever Rick decides to do is fine because she's happy that she got to meet Morty! THIS EPISODE IS SO FUCKING BAD AH! It's centered around fucking ELLE. If you decide to watch the anime, please, PLEASE skip this episode! It is bad I promise! Don't waste 19 minutes of your life that you'll NEVER get back! It's not worth it I PROMISE YOU! And of fucking course Elle saved Space Beth because she's perfect and amazing! FUCKING MARY SUE! Ugh...whatever at least there's...4 MORE EPISODES LEFT GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!

Backstory #3: Priorities

- Jihun and Dasom were both born and raised in South Korea, they knew each other throughout high school and had a very obvious mutual crush on each other for the longest

- finally on Valentine's Day, Jihun worked up the courage to confess his feelings which ofc made Dasom ecstatic and so began their relationship

- the problem is that Jihun has always been known for being very good-looking

- so when they started dating, a lot of jealous girls would talk behind Dasom's back (sometimes within earshot) about how she wasn't pretty enough to be going out with a guy like that and kinda also plotting to present themselves as a better option

- it didn't take very long for Dasom to internalize that and start to feel like she wasn't good enough for Jihun, so she broke up with him right before he left for college in the states

- and they were both absolutely miserable without each other for months

- so after Jihun's first semester when he came home for Christmas, he found Dasom and practically begged her to take him back and promised he'd do anything to make sure she knew she'd always be the love of his life

- and because she's been so empty without him, she takes him back of course

- the following year after she graduates high school she joins him in the states for college and they find that they both really love it there which is why they moved there when they got married

- getting pregnant did take a little effort, and they were derailed by Jihun returning to Korea for his military service, but finally after a few years Dasom was pregnant

- it made them closer than ever cuz they were both so excited about it

- but fast forward nine months and they find themselves with a very fussy, colicky baby

- Taeyoung required nonstop attention for the entire first year of his life tbh and it was starting to get too overwhelming

- February 1984 rolls around and they both realize they have nothing planned for Valentine's Day, they hardly speak to each other if it's not about Taeyoung, and they definitely don't touch each other of it's not passing Taeyoung off to each other

- so Jihun remembers his promise to her from all those years ago and makes sure this Valentine's Day was all about them

- it was Taeyoung's first birthday and he made it all about them

- that year is when they officially decide they're always going to put their relationship first, which to be fair isn't a bad thing because kids benefit from their parents having a strong relationship

- but they did it wrong

- for Dasom, her marriage came first and second, pushing Taeyoung down to her third priority (she would never admit this, she doesn't even realize she's doing it)

- and Jihun put his marriage first, second, and third and his career came fourth because being a doctor is very demanding (so is being a lawyer but Dasom wouldn't hesitate to prioritize Taeyoung above her job)

- this is how we ended up with the differing devotion to Taeyoung which is something he grew up feeling but never really understood up until the tour

- so when he was abandoned by his friends at that summer camp, it wasn't just the pain of rejection from his peers, it was also the subconscious feeling of not being good enough to his own parents repeating itself

- and that's how a romantic love story between two crazy kids resulted in their kid being fucked up in the head����

Any HC on TazerCraft's reunion with Cellbit after Alcatraz? I think Pac and Mike even managed to sleep the first day on the ship lol

Using the idea that the ship/qsmp was the first time they all saw each other after prison:

So in my head, Cellbit changed a lot physically between Alcatraz and now because it was almost a decade. I think after starting therapy he starting wanting to distance himself from his ‘Cell’ self as much as possible, so he grew his hair out and he like stopped shaving as often and he gained some weight. But that’s also just him becoming himself for the first time since getting arrested; it’s pretty hard to be yourself in prison

That’s all to say: Tazer e Craft didn’t recognize him at first. He was kinda just this guy in the back hanging around Felps, who was trying to figure out the ship’s controls and failing.

And then he spoke

Now, it’s acceptably canon that Pac e Mike are still a little afraid of him and tbh I don’t blame them considering the. Everything. So I don’t think they were very happy to find out they were stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean heading to Australia with him!

But the thing is? Cellbit doesn’t know this! He’s just like, holy shit, it’s those two guys from prison that fucked me over and left me for dead! Hey guys :D! What a coincidence!

And obviously Pac e Mike are wary but, frankly, he looks less like a serial killer now and more like a disheveled librarian, complete with reading glasses hanging off of the collar of his shirt, so they are kind enough to allow a conversation. And by the end of it they’ve realized he’s actually changed and they step aside into a two-man group huddle and they’re like “Okay, do we trust him?” Pac is more chill with him than Mike is, so they argue for a bit before settling on “We’ll pretend we do until he actually proves himself”

But their plan is immediately derailed because two days into their journey Cellbit and Forever get married by Felps and Pac and Mike end up as their groomsmen and poor Pac has to confront the reality that the evil guy he thought was kinda hot in prison is now unfortunately genuinely attractive. And poor Mike is stuck dealing with that

( This whole ramble is in the perspective of a casual player/ fan game enthusiast. This isn't exactly talking about competitive pokemon, just how I've used the megas in the fangames/ROM hacks I've played.....this was supposed to just be about Mawile and Heracross but I derailed lmso).

In Which R rambles about mega evolution:

This might be out of nowhere but Heracross and Mawile are my all time favorite megas ever.

Tbf, they are the megas I've most used,but still. I love them so much. Lopunny is probably third bc I love Lopunny lol. Though while it hits hard, I have struggled with it being pretty frail. Maybe I'm not using it correctly ( I think it's more of an end game sweeper than a start off and destroy everything type of pokemon, though I think it's still that too so. Skill issue on my party LMAO)

I haven't used mega Salamence much, but I have been a victim to it. That thing is BRUTAL, and even with the short time I've used it, it's honestly really fun to use.

I don't think mega Garchomp needs to exist tbh. It's a fun power boost when needed, but overall base Garchomp is just better for me. Lucario is also something I felt.....okay, I guess. It's very cool and can really kick ass but I don't feel strongly about it.

Mega Gardevoir and Gallade are kinda similar to Lopunny but in a slightly lesser scale. Gardevoir in particularly I feel was really hyped up to me ( pixilate hyper voice), but when I used it I ended up feeling underwhelmed. Not saying that this a bad mega, far from it. There's a chance that I either am not using Gardevoir properly or I simply don't vibe with it. Gallade, ironically, I feel like I had a better time with. I don't know why Gallade in particular but honestly I had fun using it.

God there's a lot of megas: okay the Hoenn starters and then I'm gonna ramble about Mawile and Heracross

Sceptile: Love the thing, god I don't think the mega really helps it much. The dragon typing is cool, getting rid of some weaknesses but also adding more - I think it's still a very fun pokemon to use, but also. Oof. Sceptile kinda got the short end of the stick.

Blaziken: I keep hearing how good this mega is and guess what? It is! But also not my favorite. From my experiences, Speed Boost only really works if you have a good set up pokemon on the opponents end. I like to use bulk up as a set move along side speed boost which. Honestly it probably why I probably don't think as highly as mega Blaziken despite this thing literally doing full team sweeps for me. I think just the set up takes longer than I would like. I also think Blaziken is just not my cup of tea in general. Very good pokemon, but surprisingly slow despite how it looks, so I've always felt it should be faster than it is. Though I guess that's why it has Speed Boost. All in all, a very good mega, I've definitely had fun with it!

Swampert: I WISH I USED MEGA SWAMPERT MORE MAN. I LOVE THAT THING. My only real core memory of using mega Swampert was I think when I was playing alpha Sapphire for the first time? And even outside of that I've used it occasionally but never really used it as often as I'd like. If I did it would be top 3 megas for me. At least of the one's I've had experience in.

Okay NOW we go back to Heracross and Mawile. Heracross is in general such a fun pokemon to use imo. It kinda checks the boxes of my favorite type of pokemon to use: moderately, can take a hit or two, and hit back very hard. And while it's mega is slower, it doesn't negate from the fact that this thing is a fucking beast. Honestly with or without a mega, why do you think Kenji doesn't mega evolve his Heracross. He doesn't need to, just slap a choice band/ choice scarf on the thing and watch it destroy. Same can be said with mega Heracross but like. 5x that. Also I've realized the error of my ways on dismissing skill link. Crucial error I will never do it again, mega Heracross has that for a reason and it's to destroy.

Mega Mawile is pretty much what all mega evolution should be. Take a honestly bad or mediocre pokemon and give them an extra boost. I think Mawile does that perfectly and GOD, is mega Mawile just a beast. It's not fast, again, but it has sucker punch and huge power so. I don't think I need to worry much there. Play rough and iron head, swords dance if you want to be evil, and man. I just love using this thing. It's so fun. Same can be said with Heracross. These are just pokemon I love to use she would have to be against.

One last note: I have yet to use mega Pinsir, but I hope it's fun if I do.

[polycharismas]

post for ambrose to know my little guys awww the middle aged men who ruined my life awww :3 FUCK I FORGOT TO TAG @dohter ☺️

this is fumiya . the charisma of good and evil . hes the one who brought everyone in the house together for Reasons i guess . he looks very normal at first glance (especially compared to the design of everyone else) but hes the one everyone in the house is scared of. reason being he has zero sense of morals. he doesnt properly distinguish between right and wrong nor good and bad . he may sound terrifying but hes also really fucking chill . all of this combined makes him someone you can never completely trust nor distrust and its kinda funny . he also loves sweets and candy and pastries he like eats them excessively . every social situation hes in he always looks disinterested and in his own head . hes so neurodivergent They all are ngl

this is rikai . the charisma of order . unlike fumiya he has A Very Clear Sense Of Righteousness and fights for order among the members of the house everyday of his life . unsurprisingly this gets annoying as fuck when you actually dig into his usual methods . everyone in the house can agree that everything he does for righteousness is like very fucking exaggerated (like his obnoxious ass whistle he keeps using everytime order is slightly disturbed) but he couldnt care less . he wants order and control over everything and everyone . omg i forgot how hot his main official art was mffffgfhhhh SORRY SORRY SORRY S . getting derailed here . he may look and Act like hes the only normal person in there but in many senses hes one of the worst ones .

this is terra . the charisma of self-love . he . really likes himself . he Loves himself . he stares into the mirror for literal hours without problem . he Bleeds From His Nose Very Often looking at himself . he also has very low empathy for others that arent himself actually He couldn't care less about other people aside from himself . he's the one and only person worth it in the entire world in his perspective and honestly thats kinda real of him . also has a very complex relationship with gender and all that stuff . hes the only one from the whole cast with two main outfits . automatically proves his point that hes better tbh

this . Ohhggg this . This Is Ohse . the charisma of self-punishment . you know how terra is all about loving himself and all that well Hes the exact opposite. the very extreme opposite. he has severe depression and attempts to end his life several times throughout the series . he cant bear other people being nice to him because he feels like he doesn't deserve it at all. he barely leaves the room because he doesnt want people looking at his face he legitimately thinks it would be too disgusting for everyone . when he does leave he covers his face with a plastic bag so people dont look at his face . he often goes on tangents about how much he sucks. aside from all of that he really likes art and is actually very skilled at it he just doesn't notice this because hes too busy thinking nothing he does is worth it at all . he ruined my life

this is kei . the charisma of rebel. one day he went Damn i should start being a bitch and he never once stopped . if there's anything he can oppose at all he Does he never wants to agree with anyone or anything at all . rikai fucking hates him sometimes . everyone fucking hates him sometimes . he also likes street fights despite being fucking incompetent at them and always losing . he loves violence . its like his one solution for everything . unfortunately for him hes also one pathetic ass guy veeeeery deep inside even if he wants to put on this tough guy front. hes really truly miserable he just doesnt want anyone to ever find out

this . ugh . this is iori . the charisma of obedience . you know how kei is a bitch . well hes the exact opposite . if you ask iori for anything at all he will do everything in his power to get it for you . you would Think thats a good thing but unfortunately you dont know the things that go through this man's head . his acts of service for others are absolutely everything in his life . so much so he has made everyone (except for ohse) in the house sign a slave contract so they can use him however they please for the rest of his life . You Know How This Is Kinda Insane Right . he loves doing chores and being ordered around . if anyone ever offers to help him he like goes insane . he also . uhm . he also wears this . dog collar . so people ...... pull at it ........ and stuff ....... also hes like .............. very much a masochist ....... hes also ...... Hes also me . so me . he also ruined my life .

you see this official art right . you see it right . do i even have to explain anything . do i want to . i really dont . hes the reason i kinda hesitate from recommending charisma house to anyone . this is amahiko . he is literally And i mean LITERALLY the charisma of Sex . they just say it . straight up . no nuance no anything . hes just sex . hes sexo . hes a fucking freak about it . hes a self proclaimed "minister of sexy affairs" he describes that as his profession for some fucking reason . his goal is to "spread sexiness around the world" meaning he has to be a weirdo to everyone in the house . weirdo as in sexually . for some reason this never goes to the way some animes treat characters like him though you know what i mean . everyone around him finds him Weird for it they never try to hide the fact everything he does is weird as fuck . despite that its hard to hate him by the end . surprisingly hes one of the most mature in the house (being that hes also the oldest out of everyone's revealed ages . terra hasnt revealed his age) and can genuinely be someone you can trust . unfortunately hes a freak. thats the funny thing about him. hes also . uhm . h. h... no . no you dont have to know that .

sometimes when they get Too Charisma ! they transform have a whole musical number and then collapse in exhaustion . this is called a charisma break . they get it from being actual weirdos .

uhm my only warning for if you ever decide to watch charisma house is Number One amahiko as a whole and Number Two rikai's first song has literal nazi imagery unfortunately . Fortunately though thats like the only weird in the bad way mv . because the other mvs are also weird . i just don't know if i should describe them as weird in a good way . whatever. specific drama track episode for the song is number 27 but its only by the end . the rest of the episode is good to watch❤️

hope you had fun ambrose . these are my guys .

@piecanl Lost Tapes is basically a series of games, 1 each episode, at the end of each one person gets eliminated.

Spoilers from now on

First two episodes were team games. Tubbo and Tommy were separated in different teams, Tubbo was on a team with Spreen, George, Hannah and Purpled. Needless to say, they won in those episodes and were safe from elimination.

From the other team first two people to be eliminated were IronMouse and Wallibear (leaving SpeedSilver, Tommy and Foolish in the game).

From the 3rd episode games became individual and the winner gets immunity. Spreen won the Hunger Games, killing Tubbo, when two of them were left. Honestly, Tubbo survived by the sheer persona of ‘I am just a little guy’. Him and Tommy found two pigs at the start of it, got attached and proceeded to derail all of their plans. Hannah and George got eliminated that day.

Btw when players are eliminated, they don’t just leave. Karl takes them to a Fun house and mercilessly kills them🥰

The last episode so far was Mario Cart in minecraft. Foolish got immunity. People really tried to eliminate either Purpled or Tubbo. And Tubbo didn’t really give a shit tbh, he is living his best life. But because they voted 2 times and both ended in a tie, Purpled and Tubbo got immunity, and the loser was chosen with RNG from Speeen, Tommy and SpeedSilver. SpeedSilver got eliminated, which honestly was poetic bcs in the first vote he voted for Tubbo after promising to Tommy he would vote for Purpled. And the second time he switched his vote to Purpled meanwhile Spreen decided to vote Tubbo this time. So SpeedSilver basically double crossed everyone to get himself eliminated at the end.

So yeah, Tubbo is just vibing. It’s kinda hilarious. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing but would like to just get the gist, I think Episode 4 (the last one) would be interesting to you. Because the challenge was fun and there was a lot of intrigue going on.

[talkingtea]

I came across your post about filming another series, and you're right. Shows no longer have to be 20+. It now can be less than 13. Some even follow the British format where 6 episodes can be considered a whole season. Kinda like how some movies can be shot within a month or less timeframe.

So, I'm not sure what exactly CP is doing with her career. She used to say she wanted a career similar to Michelle Williams (who btw had a few solid projects under her belt during DC), but the way she's moving, she won't have one at all. 9 years on a show but no projects in between? The only cast where everyone was consistently working outside of their respective show was Riverdale.

Tbh, we never faulted her for not wanting to work during the short months she had off (especially in earlier seasons) but towards the end of the series we do think more of an effort should have been made. To be fair, maybe she did plan on it and COVID derailed that, we’ll never know, but the reality is she should have been hustling more in the later seasons of The Flash especially once the quality took a turn for the worst. Being known for something outside of a CW show that ended horribly would have benefited her greatly.

[chaifootsteps]

sorry to drama dump here, but it's kinda relevant to the stuff talked about? So Hbomb made a new video about cases of plagiarism and what surprised me was that the majority of it wasn't about Illuminaughtii as the initial patreon buzz suggested, but James Somerton. If you haven't heard of Somerton, he makes (made?) videos about queer content on YT. Some of it was better than others (his Helluva Boss video was so bad I never rewatched it) but I liked some of his stuff for helping me understand LGBT history and media better.

turns out he's a massive plagiarist, liar and was looking like he was implicating his co-writer who may or may not have known about this in order to preserve his own image. tbh I feel so dumb for having watched him for so long and not picked up on it - looking back it seems so obvious that the stuff I liked in his vids likely all came from various other books & articles and the judgemental, catty bits were very likely his own invention. what's worse is he complained about a lack of support before to the extent it threatened the continuation of the channel - either losing patrons or Youtube hiding his stuff due to its LGBT content and I believed him because it sounded plausible. but now I just don't know. I feel awful knowing how close I got to becoming his patreon a couple of times because I wanted to support what he was doing and I gave him the benefit of the doubt when I'd heard passing references to plagiarism before, assuming it was a small mistake anyone could make like forgetting to add a source - and not just reading huge passages nearly unchanged for minutes on end!

the whole time he was just ripping other people off. even by youtube plagiarism standards, the scale of it just staggers me

sorry for venting in your inbox. It just struck me watching Hbomb talk that Viv and James are kinda alike - they prop themselves up like pillars of the LBGT community for the services/art they provide while actively minimizing and ignoring other people working in the field or who came before them, then they make up shit when people call them out and just lie on the people taking them to task as harrassers & etc. I would hope someday there's an article or video that lays out the timeline of everyone Viv has hurt the way Hbomb does with JS here, but I think between Hazbin dropping and probably not getting critical acclaim and NDAs expiring next year, plus all the actually talented writers leaving or pulling away from her projects, it won't be the sharp decline suffered by Illuminaughtii or JS but a slow attrition into only her most dedicated fans still supporting her (assuming she doesn't get into yet more Twitter drama that derails whatever good will remains)

I was wondering why everyone was crossing their fingers for Hbomb to make a video about Vivzie.

All I can say is that if he wants to do so and needs the proof to back it up, there's my DMs.

ok it's the creepy guy that's talking for sure. yk how i know ? bc ortho says "if anything, we should be grateful to you" we. as in, multiple people. as in, the personal pronoun that the mysterious voice kept using in 6-49.

[ about : ....ortho ? ]

now tell me WHY ortho's talking creepily off the bat ???? did he actually get possessed by that mysterious voiced dude ??? the monotone in his voice has me crying. also not him lying and saying everyone JUST got finished testing when we know they've been finished for hours ??

also it makes me wonder if this phantom was the og ortho's phantom,,,,maybe og ortho also got lured by the titans and made a mistake and overblotted,,,,,and the fact that the creepy voice is in ortho's system, it makes me think that this person is a shroud (thus my is this og ortho theory)

I FUCKING KNEW IT I FUCKING CALLED IT !!!!! maybe ortho was consumed by phantom-him, and that's why they had to lock up his phantom in tartarus,,,,but what exactly led to that bc all shrouds have that curse that kills all blot they produce

[ about : pleased to make your aquaintence, ortho ]

[ about : grim's magic reserves ]

omg,,,idia says that grim's magic reserves are low, so the spell that's cast on him shouldn't matter. but i can't help but think that maybe his magic reserves are being limited by that spell in the first place, so maybe once that spell is lifted, grim would have all the full capabilities of a dire beast,,,,,thinking noises,,,,,,

[ about : request for examination ]

ok as idia says, the fact that STYX examining the NRC students was anonymous, and not even from Sage Island, but from Land of Dawning's government itself is ssssuper sus. like why would someone from another country's government know what's going on in NRC ??? and legit no one in NRC is from Land of Dawning so how did they know in the first place ??

[ about : 5 people overblotting is strange ]

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT !! they keep on stressing abt how overblotting is a rare thing but at the same time, 5 people overblot in the span of 5-6 months and nOBODY HAS BAT AN EYE. until idia.

tbh i have two potential theories: either it's because of yuu's appearance (which. idk how that would work) OR grim's appearance. maybe he's the type of direbeast that feeds off blot or someone induces blot ?? bc there's no way all these incidents lined up so perfectly that none overlapped.

[ about : real reason behind overblots ]

ok idia just confirmed one of my theories about overblotting: i had said before that most overblots have different types of build ups.

the build up itself can consist of different things. maybe the overblotee is actually fine up until the moment that some disaster happens (e.g. azul with his contracts) or the overblotee has pent up resentment (e.g. jamil n kalim, leona and never being the best) but in the end the biggest trigger is a fundamental shift in their beliefs.

for riddle, it's his rules being treated as not absolute by the majority.

for leona, it was being caught red handed trying to take down malleus (because it was an admission that he was weaker and had to resort to dirty tricks to win over mal)

for azul, it was his contracts that he worked so hard to obtain to be respected being destroyed.

for jamil, it was his picture-perfect plan being derailed, and his family's status being threatened because of his own actions.

and lastly for vil, it was the fact that he was ashamed after trying to poison neige, because he was talking about how competitions should be fair and square until he tried to essentially cheat himself.

that's why it's kinda hard to believe that someone might be inducing overblots. bc that person (unless they're from the future) will NEVER know a person's heart fully. and they won't ever know what may cause a person to break down and succumb to an overblot.

[ about : muscle red ]

LILA VANROUGE ?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?!?! also like. the way "muscle red" is voiced is so funny sjfkdskf is that what general lilia might've sounded like *eyes emoji* deep voice lilia is so wwwhhheeewww that is a nice voice (and the way idia's freaking out over muscle red's words wwww he's so funny, guys idia gay rights (or like bi pan rights bc love is love))

[ about : idia's gaming proposal ]

guys you CANNOT convince me he didn't just basically platonic marriage proposal to muscle red in this sequence...

[ about : malleus and lilia ]

ough it's kinda T^T that malleus is visiting the broken down ramshackle, considering it's been a special place to him all this time. and malleus talking about how he loves abandoned buildings...

NOW WHY DID THIS LINE MAKE ME SAD SNIFF and him talking about how rn, ramshackle is abandoned once more, but...it doesn't feel soothing anymore. it feels disturbing that yuu and the others aren't there.

meanwhile, lilia's trying to teach him about the concept of loss. even though yuu n the rest aren't dead, he knows that one day, malleus won't be able to see them anymore. bc they're all humans who have considerably shorter life spans than he does. so ofc he has to bear with the pain and happiness of being friends with humans.

[ about : ...but this may be my last ]

EX-FUCKING-SCUSE ME ??? LILIA VANROUGE (THROTTLES HIM) AND THE FUCKING CHAPTER ENDS THERE RRRAGHHHHh

[ about : ortho... ]

the way he's so very happily and very calmly talking about resetting the world so that idia has a better future....he's quite literally betting that if everyone died that somehow, idia would have a happy life if he were to be reborn ?? and the way he's so very happily expressing his "will" in contrast to what he's actually about to do.

meanwhile idia's watching him in horror and wondering what's happening because everything's going wrong. ortho's naive, he's shown that tendency a lot of times (e.g. in his school uniform vignette, he destroys a whole apple tree using a technomantic beam just to "help" get lucius down,,,despite the fact that he could've flown up there with his boosters and grabbed lucius instead) but this is on a different level. he's trying to kill everyone to reset the world. obviously he's been infected by the will of "other ortho" or "og ortho" but the fact that he could've landed here without interference anyway is kinda scary.

(also the stuff about phantoms coexisting, that's definitely og ortho's talk. not him saying that he wants the world to be filled with blot someone PLEASE SEND HELP. and him calling idia "nii-chan" instead of "nii-san" this is so scary help me please)

[ about : IDIA NOOO ]

WHY IS HE RUNNING TO TARTARUS ALONE ?? IDIA NOOO ???? the way he probably so desperately wants to see ortho again, despite the fact that (speculation) ortho turned into a phantom sobs

god my worst fear just came true, the blot just game to douse the screen, and his pen turned black despite the fact that he can burn up blot. did he decide to plunge into tartarus to try bringing back ortho...? if so, doesn't that meant here's a certain threshold of blot that a shroud can get rid of before they, too, overblot ?

[ about : GRIMMMMM NOOOO ]

OH GOD GRIMMMM HE'S BEING SURROUNDED BY THE BLOT SMOKEEE sobbbinggg my sonnnnn :')))) oh GOD oh no berserk grim is backkkkk MY SON NNOOOO TTT^TTT he's starting to sOUND like a phantom as well.

yeah ig today's international clown day bc i keep leaving off on cliff hangers and just making myself live in misery for no reason huhuhu,,,until tomorrow ig,,,,
