Emotionally unstable bisexual refugee who’s obsessed with Archery because of his mom and does crime because of his emotionally distant older brother who abandoned him to take care of his father, his father’s wife, and several step and half siblings who are varying levels of chaotic gremlin energy, in a city too big to notice their existence, and who keeps making friends with the people in charge, which is included but not limited to the captain of the city guard (who becomes a mother figure to him), one of the most powerful mages in the land, and the political leader of a large group of United tribes of people. He takes a job because he needs the money and punches that powerful mage in the face, by the way. (He had permission). THEN he takes possession of an incredibly powerful, and dangerous, evil magic rock, which makes him evil(er) and he ONLY holds into it because the queen wanted it and he’s anti-monarchy and thinks the queen is a bitch. Luckily the naive 18 year old illegitimate daughter of the queen and her past side piece advocates that it’s somehow a good idea for him to keep the magic rock instead of it being safely locked up! Spoiler alert: this goes badly!
He goes crazy and stabs someone at a ball because of the magic rock (he thought they were Royal and decided fuck it, assassin time!) and he runs away. Spends three days in a mysterious definitely magical temple thanks to his friend (chief of the tribes) helping him out. Then he finds out there’s a corrupt priest stealing from the donations, and obviously the only solution is to kill him. He does this! Then gets caught and runs away, and to be found by the dangerous leader of a massive criminal organization (which definitely isn’t working with the guy who caused the war that made him a refugee!) and tells Toby, ‘hey work with us and you can kill more corrupt people”. Toby thinks this is a grand idea, in his evil rock induced state and also just being so bitter and angry about years scraping by and on the streets because of these corrupt people and massive wealth gaps. So he does this. And now he’s an assassin for this evil organization and it can only go well, right?? Right?
reblog this with a terrible description of your Blorbo. go

We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore. We were so close. Then they flavored it mango and now it's taboo to criticize it anymore. People don't ask if they're allowed to vape indoors, they aren't considerate of people who may have health problems that are triggered by the chemicals or if it just bothers them, people don't care that they're supporting an industry built on corruption and greed, they can't see it draining their pockets and much less their health. We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore.
#i hate hate HATE nicotine after watching my parents smoke when i grew up#its gross and bad for your money and bad for your health#and i get it. theres SO MANY socioeconomic factors that make it a complicated issue.#you CANT blame smokers.#but it feels like people are just accepting the institution for what it is bc now it tastes good#bitch just chew gum jfc#it doesn't matter if its an industry issue. we have seen in the past that making it “uncool” hurts the industry#make nicotine uncool again PLEASE#grumbles

"Still not helpful."
#thought i'd have to go back and record this but turns out i already recorded it#this being the one (?) time he uses that nickname is so funny. hit him with the exasperated long-suffering voice and everything#tfw your husband admonishes you in front of people for being shitty. significant other more like significant bother#but it's also such a good scene in general. i love that the game has them at opposite ideological ends#(even if its just to further complicate/bolster the choice being made)#ashur despite being a resistance leader isn't politically revolutionary at least not in the same sense as tarquin#who obviously sees the necessity of armed struggle and violence to force change in a highly stratified society. very fanonian *gets shot*#something something inherent ideological differences re: class struggle when you're at the top vs at the bottom#two very different vibes in these tags. anyway im cool and fine about them actually#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#datv#datv ashur#the viper#datv tarquin#datvedit#ashur#tarquin#veilguard#**da#viperquin

there is such a trauma to daughterhood. it comes from the lack of agency - not only from being born as a woman but existing in the world as a child. an oppression on top of an oppression. people make jokes about girls with daddy issues but nothing compares to the kind of trauma you recieve from having a complicated relationship with your mother. people talk about it so often. and it's one thing to have a mother who hates you which is always awful, but often it feels worse to have a mother who doesn't. to have a mother who is simply exhausted by the fact you were born. a mother who doesn't hate you, but loves her men more. a mother who maybe wanted to be a mom, once, and then came to realize what a thankless job it was. and she didn't want to hate you, but it was hard to love you and even harder to like you. a mother who doesn't hate you exactly, but never outgrows her desire to be attractive and beautiful and makes you her enemy in that way. or a mother who has nothing more to her than being a mother and clings to coddling you in a way thats suffocating. so many daughters develop deep empathy for the mothers because they were women, daughters, girls once. everyone deals with it differently. but at the end of it, you still need a mother and that is the most horrible and wretched part of all. the trauma of being alive, of being a woman, and of having a mother but still needing one. such a uniquely miserable feeling
#aristotle.txt#ask to tag#motherhood#it is so... man#this isnt about me but about the weird fic im writing JHXFHKJD#it just made me think. its so complicated to have a mom who is not good at being a mom#and sure she is just a woman. but you did deserve a mother once. ohhh how wretched

Prompt 310
Shadow core Danny? Shadow core Danny with Hazmat AU? Indeed, with a hint of a twist.
See that hazmat helmet beneath the hood? Yeah that’s erm, that might be his actual face now. It might be able to split open into a proper maw, as he found out during one of the early fights. He thinks it might be a shadow-core thing though, because Fright Knight has something similar, along with the Keeper. Who's apparently a ghost that keeps track of other shadow-ghosts, which, cool. Cool library covered in flesh, nothing spooky there.
He mentions this? Because apparently even if all ghosts partially feed on emotions, shadow cores need Fear the most. Which, thankfully shadow cores are apparently more rare than he’d expect, so he’s not going to go into a territorial frenzy or something on a bad day, yay!
But uh, he might… count as a ghostling since he’s only a year dead- in fact he’ll continue to be as such until he’s at least 100 years dead, since he didn’t die as an adult. Which in turn… means he needs even more fear, at least until he’s old enough to generate it on his own.
So what’s a ghostling to do? Take a trip to one of the most fear-soaked cities in the world, y’know, just a little weekend trip every month. Gotham isn’t that bad, and he can stay invisible- mostly! What’s going to happen, he run into a vigilante? Ha… oh no.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Shadow Core Danny#Hazmat Au#Fright Knight might be softer towards Danny because he’s a lil shadowling#and might’ve ghost adopted the tiny ghostling who managed to catch his sword#Look the nightmare realms are perfect for feeding young shadow ghosts but human halves complicate things#Danny is unaware that Fright is constantly following from the shadows#Look to the old ghosts Phantom is practically a neonate so he’s not gonna just leave him alone#Shadow cores mimic/mirror their surroundings- hence why most can’t tell if one is baby or not#Unless you are a realms medical specialist or also a shadow-cored being#Tiny hazmat-esque creature: *hisses*#Goons: Aw it’s kind of cute in a creepy way-#Giant Knightmare rising from its shadow with claws/teeth bared & surroundings warp into eldritch monstrosities:#Goons: *screaming crying vomiting-*#Danny: I’m so good at this scaring thing :)

Love love love the way the voices are all their own distinct personalities but there's those little ways they bleed into each other that show they all come from the same person. Or god in this case.
Each voice is its own unique captured experience shaped by the circumstances that created them as much as the vessels are, they just manifest differently because The Long Quiet is not built to change and to grow, so instead of adapting himself he takes the old parts of him and tucks them away in his subconscious, listens to them and the new insights on the world they give his otherwise stationary perspective. He learns, but he is not bound by who he was before.
The voices all capture distinct reactions to the situations, but theres moments where you can see them bleed together, moments where the person they belong to shines through because they're not quite so different as they initially appear. Cold and Stubborn with their disregard for the body as an entity that needs to function the way a normal body should, Skeptic and Opportunist both analysing a situation to find the perfect time to strike back, Broken and Smitten both desperate for The Princess to see them and to make them whole even when she hurts them, Paranoid and Cheated in their suspicion and their manipulation of the construct, the list goes on.
Somewhere in the middle, all these unique perspectives bleed together in a way that makes it believable they came from the same source and I just think that's neat. I can believe Cold and Smitten are both faces of the same god because, well. Human nature is complicated, and both Cold and Smitten have that same single minded contempt for The Narrator that binds them together even when their existence seems to contradict each other.
A mind is a fascinating, spiralling thing, and nobody is able to be described in just a few sentences. The Long Quiet is opportunistic and loving, enduring in the face of hardship and broken by circumstance, the god created to kill death and just the unlucky guy who happens to be stuck on a path in the woods.
And at the center of it all, they're The Hero. The voice to which all other voices lend a piece, however small, one of the only voices who will never directly oppose The Long Quiet's decisions because within him is the capacity to make all those choices and more.
There's something beautiful about the way The Long Quiets mind unfurles throughout the routes, how it helps you understand what's going on both more and less
#slay the princess#stp long quiet#stp voices#stp spoilers#stp#this game is so good#i could think about it for hours#and i do#something about how people are inherently complicated#and who you become is guided by what you experience#but its still you#you will always be recognisable in every version of yourself that can be#and i just think thats neat

the theerapanyakul kids: how close are you with each other?
loan’s kinnporsche 2nd anniversary: favourite familial relationship: the theerapanyakul kids (insp: ½+½)
#kpanniversary2024#vegas theerapanyakul#macau theerapanyakul#kinnporsche#kinnporsche the series#tankhun theerapanyakul#kim theerapanyakul#kinn theerapanyakul#kp2anniversary#kpts#kp#loan.blr#loan.gif#loan.kp#yes this is also minor family focused (with a dash of kinnvegas fascination). that is thanks to who i am as a person.#in all honesty kinnvegas and vegasmacau are my fav platonic relationships of the shows. both so scrunchy!#imagine if you will that its macau recounting all the relationships. cause obviously vegas has a much more complicated relationship to him#that macau would perceive. but then again macau prolly sees some of the shit vegas has to shoulder for him.#but to macau vegas will always be his bestest friend.#this post is very deep if you think about it (i say. lying.)#im kidding ofc but i do kinda like the concept. you could argue with certain assessment of mine but generally the categories felt fitting#anyways. this is late but if im correct its allowed and im doing this thing where im being patient with myself.#also this is my second proper gifset and i dont think i get coloring. i vaguely understand what should happen but like.#i dont think i see what i should. i dont get colors. so these are just. idk. hopefully just a tad more vibrant and not too off color.#so. is this good? not really. but im practicing gif making! and i only get confused by ps like once an hour.

Incorruptible Chap 3 pt 16
I'm diving back into fictional territory, with my personal interpretation of Robespierre/his thoughts. But, I hope you enjoy the interpretation!
#incorruptiblecomic#I just find it so interesting that all these social things Robespierre wasnt so good at became kinda unfashionable later on anyways#as in later on everyone else would adopt a similar 'lifestyle' to robespierre but just because it was seen as good to do so#so its like he almost accidentally became a popular/model revolutionary just by naturally being himself lol#Did this contribute to his difficulties/inability to deal with the complications of popularity he ended up gaining near the end?#does anyone else find that very interesting?#french revolution#frev#robespierre#maximilien robespierre#webcomic#comic#webtoon#comic update#history comic#french history#revolution francais#european history

also i think if roleswap laios and canon laios met theyd immediately start fighting.
#canon laios would blurt out 'why do you look like our dad' and fisticuffs ensue.#shuro........ is a little more complicated#if canon shuro doesnt think too hard about it and just treats the other him like a stranger then theres no problem#on the other hand i imagine he holds himself to high standards and if he sees his other self doing things he considers improper or uncouth.#i imagine hed only speak up if he saw it happen A Lot like hed pull him aside like hey... what the fuck#thered be a bit of 'holy shit i woulda turned out like THAT??' on both sides#roleswap shuro would often get frustrated but i think hed understand that like. thats how the culture is like he lived it too#but i think similarly hed watch laios steamroll og shuro and eventually be like. DUDE. just say something#shorter fuse lmao. anyways still turning this AU over in my head#how much more forward can shuro be before hes unbelievably out of character...#and what if they switched universes!!!!#if laios switched. it would be immediately obvious something is up in the og universe but it may be chalked up to like#a weird mood..... though maybe the party starts to wonder 'hey... is it not possible this is a shapeshifter' 😭#but og laios in the roleswap universe...#tbh havent thought too hard on what the party dynamics in that universe might be like assuming all else is the same save for the roleswap#i imagine chilchuck would still get on alright as long as hes being paid upfront and laios is still attentive/ recognises his abilities#and limitations also. marcille................................... hmm#she might treat him more formally and be less close.... may perceive him as more threatening at first meeting#(in terms of like. 'taking falin away' i mean if that makes sense)#but well. u kno how in canon laios Does notice a lot of things about his companions and has a very pragmatic view that surprises them#and they dont tend to notice until he says it aloud because its often overlooked cos of his. everything else.#well. id imagine roleswap laios still notices things but simply would not say it aloud.#the party would also be like .. dude... did he hit his head#if SHURO swapped...................... well it depends when exactly it happened#i imagine it could be a bigger issue with the retainers#im losing steam cos my lower back hurt so bad adgfsdfg i cant get a good position on this chair#but for shuro himself i imagine it would be nightmarish lmao.#roleswap (henceforth RS) shuro would wake up as an adult with the retainers like. ??? was that all a dream?? did i never make it out#meanwhile og shuro ending up god knows where..........#if he ended up with the retainers again he might not immediately realise somethings amiss and try to act normally

I have to say, as much as I love the fix-its and the spiked coffee theory, the part of me that's the queer kid living in a homophobic and sometimes manipulative household wants to watch Aziraphale make that mistake fully on his own and grow from it
#good omens#ineffible husbands#good omens spoilers#vio.txt#its the assimilation vs liberation argument again#like i love crowley because hes who i wanna grow into#but i love aziraphale because i see so much of myself in him#like. its complicated and having the coffee be spiked makes it less so#discourse#(?)#i also like the coffee theory tho because it makes for a very interesting predicament for when aziaphale realizes#but having him make that mistake is more emotionally satisfying imo

yknowwww there is something... deeply uncomfortable about the way mel never speaks directly to viktor in the 'build hextech weapons' scene. she really only speaks to jayce. plenty of people have pointed this out already but like the one scene they actually share a meaningful interaction and she treats him like he's beneath her. all this after jayce has emphasized how important viktor is, that hextech is theirs, together. she unequivocally ices him out, there's no other way to interpret this scene. the way it's shot too - from viktor's perspective, looking up at her, as though to reinforce the same belief in him. like he doesn't even bother expecting respect from her - or anyone from the upper echelon of piltover. he's fully accustomed to being dehumanized by everyone around him at this point. sometimes even by jayce, despite the trust they clearly have in each other.
then of course after this scene is viktor experimenting on himself. it's pretty clear that he has internalized his own dehumanization. crazy.
#dont open these tags unless you want to read an essay im so serious#quick disclaimer i do properly ship jayvik as of s2e9 aha#sorry abt the like. spam. but yk this what rewatching an insanely detailed show with fresh eyes does to a mfer#arcane#.txt#i think mel and jayce (among others) both exhibit the same kind of casual classism#jayce somewhat more obviously with his whole 'the zaunites are dangerous' spiel#and mel more subtly. its in the way she shows very little concern for the plight of the undercity until yk. it explodes in her face#she's been on the council for a decade. has done little but rub elbows with the elites of piltover and amass her own fortune#pretty clear she hasn't so much as blinked at the horrific state of zaun. this makes her a very willing participant in its oppression fyi#and then of course her treatment of viktor#ive seen it pretty heavily debated and i don't really see any reason to deny or defend these actions of hers#likewise when jayce accosts viktor and reprimands him for going to the undercity or makes a hextech weapon there's no reason to excuse him#these are clear examples of classist behaviour and i dont think it does anybody any favours to ignore it#jayvik#<-tagged bc those who do not want to read criticism of or about mel will likely have it blocked#im not here to stir the pot thanks#there's also something a bit kooky about the idea of 2 privileged rich kids commiserating about the sad state of the undercity#meanwhile a literal resident of said undercity whose perspective they could REALLY use is dying in a lab using his own body to try and#cure a common zaunite ailment/disease#meanwhile they wont help until they feel piltover is 'safe' (aka has WMDs to use against any perceived threat aha....)#anyway#its all very complicated and i dont doubt that their intentions were good (...mostly) but the road to hell and all that#it just rly bothers me that viktor was like. right there. a wealth of insight into zaun. and neither jayce nor mel even bother engaging him

ninjago s11 redraw
#alek art#ninjago#zane julien#lloyd garmadon#ice emperor#2024#ice emperor zane with a ponytail is canon to me#this is technically a redraw ... buy also a rework of what happened#i dont go with the vex wiped zane's memory. zane being stuck with the cursed scroll for 6 decades is what did him in#here he sees lloyd and takes off his helmet . then somewhere along the lines after being sent to the dungeon area he sees kai#lloyd is like .. hey kai zane is the emporer btw ... and kai heads over there and fights him . zane is obviously not himself but the whole#power of friendship thing bothered me so bad . he commited genocide he isnt a good person . give him a better ending#kai has to get the scroll away from him . then theyre just left fighting and fighting until zane is wore thin mentally. its like withdrawal#its a very complicated thing when they get back . zane is half himself half another terrible person . he wont ever be the same . the ppl#he hurt wont ever be the same . i dont think he uses ice for a while . i dont think he talks to them the same way he used to .#kai lloyd zane dynamic drives me up the wall i wish it was explored better here .. lol
