the sonic series borrows and uses SO much from black culture. heres your periodic reminder about that and to be respectful about it. also if knuckles is the only one in your humanized sonic lineup that's black then do some serious introspection dude.

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

i feel as if im going mad so im going to just put this out here. real quick. movieunleashers starters ramble.

i cant stop thinking about how mudkip broke down in that one scene in "Typomaniac," when Chespin called him mean. for a second he lets his mask slip a little bit and to me he just... acts his age. he starts crying and calls chespin mean back. maybe im just hyperfocusing on this one detail but mudkip is about 12 years old.

and that just makes me wonder what happened in this guys life that brought him to where he is now. and it makes it all the more tragic how his whole world revolves around chespin, but he is the one bringing him the most pain. and how young he was when he died.

there is a large theme of growing up in "Rare Candy." the characters ages are emphasized in that particular episode, and one of the main conflicts is fennekin wanting to evolve faster.

the thing about characters in these stories is that they're not allowed to just be kids, to have a childhood. so many bad things happen to them. like. mudkips whole, Everything. fennekin when she was famous in typomaniac, or dealing with her own insecurities/pressure from society about her relationship w chespin. and chespin always having to shoulder his friends problems & always somehow managing to stay positive despite everything.

why cant they just. play video games. eat ice cream or something. go to the movies

at the end of the day, i think both mudkip and fennekin are characters who grew up too fast. by distancing himself from them, chespin refused to follow in their footsteps and just wanted to stay a kid.

good for him.

that face when now you, the "co-lead scientist", are targetted as well and your body has Also been used as a vessel for an Unknown 3rd Thing (your own exclusive edition) so now your hands carry the blood of your family when you wanted them to be at peace. And you Also get Made Fun Of by a coworker you trusted

Like we said. Classic Situation At The Corporation.

I've seen a lot of people say that Wally is Dick's best friend, and I've always been a little confused by that. First of all, it's obviously Donna. But even if we're narrowing the field to just redheaded men, I always felt like Dick was closer to Roy than he was to Wally, but I figure that's just what I've read. Even in NTT, which is the only thing I've really seen with them together, Dick and Wally didn't come across as especially close. Got any recommendations on what I can read to see more of them?

Yeah so trying to pick apart these relationships is pretty confusing because canon is just as wishy washy about it lmao. You’re right that dick and wally being closer is more of a modern invention, and I think influenced by yjtv(?) But tbh I cant even blame modern comics for that, it was even inconsistent in the 90s (I believe dick was referred to as wally’s best friend in titans 99 and the flash run). So. Who knows

Historically & in NTT especially dick was always depicted as being closest to donna. Though NTT is honestly not a very good ref for wally in general, he quit pretty early on and wolfman was just bad at writing speedsters💀 If you want recs for dick & wally I would say the first 20 issues or so of Titans ‘99, Flash (1987) #81-83, and Flash Plus Nightwing (1997). And a lot of modern comics ofc though I can’t rec those in good conscience🤷‍♀️

anyone else ever think about how one of swain's in-game lines to darius is 'no daughters, only soldiers' and how in the blood of noxus the daughter darius didn't know was his daughter but did know as his soldier and who was perfected as a soldier killed the woman he loved ie her mother right in front of him for daring to question noxus's obsession with soldiers and loyalty and how swain was not there and how there's 0% chance darius ever talked about this except to say that quilletta was killed in the rebellion but basilich was brought to heel but obviously swain knew because of raum like he knew darius was in love he knew invetia was his kid even though darius didn't and he knew what darius elided and just never says anything about it other than a thing that if you aren't in the know could be taken to mean that darius literally has no children except the soldiers he leads to all be do-or-die like invetia but swain knows and darius probably suspects that he knows at least about quilletta and they just go on ruling the empire like that like greek god levels of demented morality because that's the noxus they built and there's no other way for it to be because i think that's one of the closest moments the lore gets to acknowledging that all empires are evil empires

i have such a toxic relationship to sbr….. we are so fucking complicated……. except when they put the italian guy with fat tits on screen and let him do stupid and or disgusting things then im like a baby whos been handed a pacifier

[seilon]

like i was never into 1D and liam seemed like a very troubled guy to put it kindly but just. it’s only every so often you hear about such a young celebrity dying so abruptly. and I fully understand the distress of adults who were super into 1D as kids over this because that point in time was really not that long ago and yeah just. feels a bit surreal

Makes me angry to see people in the same year and course as me get involved in extracurriculars. 'I'm editor for a magazine and my blurb says I like to travel and go to concerts' oh yeah well um my responsibilities have been piling up to the point where I'm paralysed by the idea of reading a book I like and I'm squeezing by to give the bare minimum and so far this week I've gone to One lecture. But we're on the same level
