#it was awesome and it was also the “MOST POWERFUL”

[cryo-genics]

you know how most people give Tucker the glowing alien marks after he got the sword to represent like the swords power and stuff?

why isn't anyone giving Felix them too?? petition for Felix designs to also have those glowing marks since he also got a sword!!!!!!

also Doyle having the same marks as Felix, then whenever someone dies, their marks stop glowing and become like flesh toned scars on the persons corpse?

i genuinely feel like Felix would feel so awesome if he had glowing skin marks. like it would fit his "super badass evil jerk" vibe and he would be totally into that.

After waiting the whole day, I FINALLY watched Act III of Arcane last night, and it did not disappoint. Once again, I need to rant about things I'm sure pretty much everyone already knows, but if I don't my skull will split in half. I'll definitely be bouncing around a bit here, this is going to take a while

I don't quite understand how Vi's death fixed the Silco problem in the alternate timeline, especially since he was experimenting with Shimmer when the job was taking place in the main timeline. (Edit: saw people talking about how her death was a wakeup call that convinced him to try a different way to improve the undercity without bringing down topside, and I really like that) Also, does other-Powder keeping some Hex-crystals and seeing what Ekko and Heimerdinger did with the shards mean that she could make Hextech in her universe and mess up their stuff? Also, what about Heimerdinger? Was he sent to another timeline? Somewhere else in the main one? What about the other-Heimerdinger, what happened to them? Other-Ekko lived, so why not him?

Either way, I thought it was a cute episode, it was nice to see Powder happy again. It was also kinda funny watching it switch between Ekko and Powder being cute together and Jayce barely surviving in the apocalypse

Back in the main timeline, seeing how broken Jinx was after Isha died broke me. When she started burning everything, then Ekko had to stop her from killing herself like a dozen times? That was just heartbreaking

On a happier note, Caitvi!!! I'm very happy they're together, of course, but um... well, I watched this show with my parents... so this happened:

Me: (internally) yay! they're together again!

(They start taking each other's clothes off)

Me: (internally) this got very awkward very fast... say something, anything

Me: (obviously embarrassed) well... um... at least we can see Vi's whole tattoo now, that's kinda cool

Mom: Are you saying it's cool we get to see them nak-

So that was not at all an awkward three minutes.

Anyway, not long after that, when everyone was preparing for the war with the Noxians and Victor's cult, I remembered Maddie existed. At first, I kinda felt bad for her, because she probably had no idea about the cell stuff and she liked Cait too. Then, when she revealed herself as a traitor, I didn't. Then Mel's magic made a bullet play pinball with her brain, so that was interesting. It was a rollercoaster of emotion for five minutes, cool death scene, and a great way to show off Mel's powers

Speaking of, Mel's duel with her mom? Awesome fight scene, got really scared for Cait for a while. The Black Rose at the end was cool, and Mel saying she knows who it is makes me very interested in a potential future project that explores that more

The Ekko-Jayce-Victor fight was amazing. Ekko redoing every mistake, even risking going back to far and breaking part of Victor's... mask? Face? Idk, what was that?

Anyways, the astral plane scene was beautiful. Plus, the flashback of wizard-Victor showing Jayce all the different runestones in different timelines to stop the Glorious Evolution Hex-Victor was incredible

I'm still confused though about how, when Victor and Jayce went into the runestone, all the other cultists died but Warwick was still able to keep fighting. That whole scene was sad, and Jinx sacrificing herself to save Vi was just depressing, but I'm calling it right now, Jinx isn't dead

In the end scene with Cait and Vi together after everything, Cait was looking at the Kiramman computer thing. More specifically, a blueprint of the Hexgates, zoomed-in around where Jinx would have blown herself up. In plain English, I could read at least 2-4 air ducts and vents marked down. Most of the writing in-universe is their own language, usually narrated over by one of the characters (right?). Only signs and sometimes names are in English, so the fact that the diagram had English means that we were supposed to read it, and know Cait was looking for something. Plus, Jinx's bombs always have colorful smoke with the explosion, so we never saw her body. I'm saying she blew up Warwick and somehow managed to ride the shockwave or Shimmer-dash to an air duct. I fully believe that Jinx is still alive

This show destroyed me, I loved every second of it. Can't wait to see more from this universe

I think that's it for now. I'm probably going to spend the rest of the day scrolling through all the Arcane tags writing, so I'll leave this here. I'll edit this if I think of anything else I guess. If you're still here, thanks for reading and have a nice day

Steven Universe–Centric perspective on Multiversus #5

Disclaimer: I know these aren't meant to be canon and that the people writing this are not in charge of the Steven Universe IP. I'll now have to amend my opinion to say that now THIS issue has the most egregious departure so far.

(I only comment on the SU content, sorry.)

Multiversus #1 commentary

Multiversus #2 commentary

Multiversus #3 commentary

Multiversus #4 commentary

On #5:

RED ALERT! STEVEN IS CRITCALLY INJURED!!

Another question from Garnet! She asks more questions than anyone in the comic series, jeez. And . . . we give a catastrophic injury to the character who canonically has such intensely awesome healing powers that he's been accidentally healing his own bone-breaking injuries since early childhood?

Like, there was even an episode where they told us that's how Steven works.

What's super weird about it is that another character comments that they could introduce nanites to repair damage that his Gem powers couldn't heal. So they know he has healing powers but they think it's just for bruises and scrapes, or what?

Guys. This kid was able to heal someone from FATAL INJURIES and brought them BACK FROM THE DEAD.

If you need this plot development to force a desperate situation to push the action forward then cool! Just, like, have a character who doesn't have automatic healing superpowers be in that spot, ya know? There are so many characters to choose from and you picked the only character who would heal his own injuries?

Sighhhh.

Like I said, they put almost every plot-pushing question in Garnet's mouth. The opposite of how she's written in the show. And even if she might have been willing to step back to let the heroes of this world take the reins, she's the leader of the Crystal Gems on her Earth, and SHE'S usually the one with the plan.

I know it's not these writers' fault entirely--they're trying to write a bunch of disparate characters and their nuances are gonna be lost--but watching Garnet regularly be the vocally clueless one in the group almost gives me physical pain. And she DOES "ask questions" in her universe when she has to . . . but they sound like "describe her" and "tell me what you think" and "state your purpose." I wouldn't mind as much if the things she wanted to know were delivered in Garnet syntax. But it still bothers me that the person asking the most questions is the one who would know the answers without asking.

Also she says "nada" in this comic which weirded me out almost as much as her saying "You the hero around these parts?" I wonder if anyone writing this ever listened to Garnet talk? Trying to imagine these lines in her London accent is really giving me a headache.

Why do I feel like if I had to choose and enemies to lovers plot with Galadriel (Since Celeborn isn't here yet) I would choose Adar as the love interest over Sauron?

Krispee cream

[carpetbug]

guys. I kinda wish adrien had been akumatized in season 5 in the short periods he wore an alliance (or ephemeral type shit where Gabriel fuckin breaks him solely to akumatize him) and had been given the essence of the miraculous of the dragon. THE MIRACULOUS OF THE DRAGON. THE MIRACULOUS OF PERFECTION. AKUMATIZED ADRIEN WITH THE MIRACULOUS OF PERFECTION. and it’s not from Maribug! if it had been the ACTUAL miraculous from the actual guardian, it ties back to her, it almost functions as a connection between them two. but when it’s only the essence it leads back to Gabriel! It’s another way his father is holding him under his thumb, pulling all the strings of his life and just having complete control over Adrien. so yeah i need dragon!akumadrien content and i need it now

i lost my 100 smth combo on dance dance lord hater this is real rhythm game player suffering

[howdidthisevenhappenanyway]

*taps microphone* so i’d just like to talk about all the little kids in coruscant who would absolutely be out of their mind with love and awe for the corrie guard, and their fire engine red painted armour

these kids

these kids would wait at their windows to watch them drive past their window on a scheduled patrol. they’d be so thrilled to see them in the market. or when Fox is standing next to Palpatine in the press in his extra red paint

their parent will be like ‘want to talk to them?’ and the kids will get all shy.

they might even draw pictures of them to give to them

because no matter what the adults think, abiut flesh droids or military police being given more and more responsibility (that theybwould see as power) as the war went on, but little kids know what’s up. they know how cool garbage men are, and fire men (with the shiny red paint), and other civil servants that adults don’t think are awesome but kids know

and you know, you just know that Sergeant Hound, with his cute mastiff and awesome bucket paint would be the absolute pinnacle of coolness to an eight year old coruscanti child

🐑 Alternate Universe- Magic, Mutual Pining, Demonic possession, Furbies

Oh dear...

Alex is attending one of the most prestigious magic academies in the country, on the orders of his parents of course. Even though Laiz Fier Academy reviles even the name of the only type of magic he's ever been good at. His parents swore he'd find another specialty here, and he'd let himself believe them, like the idiot he is. He's scraping by in classes. Barely. At least he's managed to make a couple of friends and figure out how to sneak into the library stacks to find books that will actually help him hone his skills.

However, Alex realizes now there's a reason why it's not recommended to do your first summoning alone. Because, while he does manage to summon a demon, it doesn't exactly end up in the silvery urn he'd laid in the center of the pentagram.

So now he has a talking, demonic Furby to hide. One that, despite its too-wide eyes and disconcertingly smooth voice, Alex thinks he might be developing feelings for.

(Fake fic ask game!)

You know, given that I'm playing a cleric, I was really really hoping that when we faced off against Cazador (especially given Larian's liking for symmetry and mirroring story beats across the breadth of the narrative, a la Astarion's two "this is a gift, I won't forget it" statements), I'd get to quote back to him the time Astarion told me the greatest threat to a vampire wasn't a cleric with a stake, it was another vampire. And then tell him I'd been looking forward to Astarion and I testing that theory, together <3

ash’s sinnoh team is so good (mostly) and im fond of the core six and then you look closer and you remember that only half of them were treated all that well
