emma dupain cheng on the brain😽🎀
more:





#ml#miraculous#miraculous ladybug#my art#emma dupain cheng#emma agreste#(i think that may the more popular tag for her lol. she is a dupain cheng in my heart though)#plagg#she is thirteen almost fourteen here btw. because i love circularity#emma dupain cheng to me is like. what if emilie or adrien grew up in a stable home with no trauma. that’s emma#and she is theater kid✨#and adrien and marinette are soooo so so supportive and love going to her shows and are so proud of her#/marinette has to be held back from trying to manipulate the school play casting process to secure emma the lead every year#but then emma sets her sights on bigger things(broadway west end)#and adrien pumps the breaks big time#and he’s so torn between supporting her interests and wanting so badly to keep her from like. being a child actor. having a job. b#being pulled from school#and emma gets upset bc he is standing in the way of her dreams#and they fight about it:(#and then emma discovers plagg and convinces him to help her sneak out and go to her callback that she secretly auditioned for#(and forged all the parent signatures for lol)#and. well. plagg CAN be bribed#and also she just reminds him so much of baby adrien🤧 he is a softie#and she runs away to her callback. and adrien and marinette wake up the next morning and see on the news that there is a new chat noir.#anyway. not that i’ve thought about it or anything

yall are mad about all the people in twelve knowing each other when twelve is canonically the smallest district and all of them WOULD be the same age if they were alive. lol. lmao even
#realistically. it would make sense. is all im saying.#if nothing else all the callbacks were funny. she was sick of yall in her replies asking why she didnt name background character number 1#“but astrids name was simple” SHE WASNT GOING TO NAME HER BECAUSE HER ROLE IN THE STORY WAS KATNISS' MOM. YALL THEN HOUNDED HER FOR YEARS#ABOUT NOT NAMING HER AND YOU ARE NOW MAD BECAUSE *checks notes* SHE WAS GIVEN A NAME AND A MINOR ROLE IN THE STORY.#okay. i guess#anyway yall are getting hung up on small details and being DISTRACTED#sunrise on the reaping#thg#the hunger games#hunger games#sotr spoilers#sunrise on the reaping spoilers#burdock everdeen#astrid march

im sorry SUPER random question but I've been on a twst kick recently and found your blog (side note I love your art sm), and I've noticed this whole "Alfonso my long lost third cousin" bit being brought up a few times, is that an intentional gag or just a coincidence?
thank you! :D it's not anything from canon; I just like to do little self-referential callbacks sometimes! like, there's no real consistency between my Twst comics (the only constant is that These Boys Be Useless), it's pretty much purely to make myself laugh. but also a little bit in the hopes that by doing the same joke over and over again, it might eventually become funny? only time will tell.
somehow, despite the negative continuity in general, this one kind of accidentally evolved from "everyone watches this very dramatic soap opera" into "also it starred Vil as E(vil) Alfonso". though he probably did end up getting replaced when he took his break from acting... 🤔
#art#twisted wonderland#i guess extensive self-referencing is an obnoxious habit#but idk. i just like having little running jokes like that! hopefully they aren't so jarring that it gets annoying#i do try not to be like...torturous about them#but i like finding places to do little callbacks! shitposts they may be but my brain does like ~consistency~#jade's mushroom gacha game and lilia's horrible garfield mug have also shown up again a couple of times#and of course#( ˚ >˚ )#he is everywhere and he is watching

Language divides and building bridges.
Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).
((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))
BONUS:

Heh. Callback.
Want to see more? Here’s the masterpost for submas!
#not Emmet trying to say Electric in kantonian and failing miserably#meanwhile Ingo gets it within the first five seconds (what a MOOD)#wow ingo ur so good at languages! hope this doesnt come into play later when you get sent to a foreign island chain far in the past!#(sweats)#anyways LOOK THE PATRATS AND PACHIRISU ARE FINALLY BECOMING FRIEND FRIENDS#I CAN DRAW SHENANIGANS AGAIN WHEEEEEE#BUT also... callback to the library comic where Emmet and Elesa talk about Leaning on Friends for Help... hehehehhough#elesa did in fact get that from somewhere yes#it's this. she got it from this interaction. from two people who decided to care about her for some reason#and so she decides to care back#(little rat dog barking noise) anyways back to tagging!#pokemon#art#sketchbook#submas#myart#fanart#pokemon ingo#subway boss ingo#submas comic#elesa#pokemon leader elesa#kid submas#nimbasa trio#blitzle#tynamo#ingo#emmet#subway master kudari#subway master nobori

Tails has dealt with enough bullies to stand by and let Robotnik threaten his new friend 😤
(Robotnik is supposed to have a gun or another zappy weapon in his hand pointing at Sonic, but I completely forgot it,, just assume he's got blasters in his eggmobile he was pointing at Sonic in that moment)
ANYWAY CUE AVALANCHE!!!
Prev / Next
#GOOD NEWS!!! BIGGER CANVAS BETTER QUALITY#movie tails rewrite#my art#sonic movie 2#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic cinematic universe#dr eggman#ivo robotnik#knuckles wachowski#tails wachowski#tails the fox#sonic wachowski#miles tails prower#I've been thinking about a recurring joke in the rewrite where people constantly mistake tails for something hes not (squirrel; cat; weasel#kinda like a callback (call... forward?) to the dete.ctive pika.chu thing 😂#but it's also kinda like a metaphor for identity and standing up for himself? idk i don't have a brain

#hacks#hacksedit#deborah vance#deborahvanceedit#mine#edit#*#callback*#i love callbacks#evidence*#p r o o f#tag meta#something so... sad? about this to me#like i'm sure it really was in part chosen for the business/legal aspect#but at the same time - deborah isn't marcus. marcus was so crucial to her business /for a reason/#deborah makes emotional and fear-driven choices and the fact that she chose singapore#which she had JUST been told was a demographic of people who appreciated her#when she's scared and afraid and needs her fix of laughter. she finds a venue where the data suggests she'll succeed#and it's the perfect amount of backslide for her i think - she's still not walking back her choice of ava over the show#but she also isn't ~brave enough to just forge ahead with a new path. she needs familiarity and security#she needs her old comedy and her old audience and her old carefree attitude#she can get the first two back and the fact that ava irrevocably changed the third is a big part of why she's spiraling so hard#how do you reconcile deep love of the person who made you someone that can never be satisfied with your old comforts again?

There's something really poignant in the way Vessel starts the album with "Will you listen" and finishing it off with "I will be what I am", and the way those two songs use the same staccato synth to create a loop.
EIA is filled with identity crisis - he doesn't know who is/was; there are two of him that need to co-exist somehow; he's not the same as before but still himself. Musically speaking, this album pushes genres and boundaries in ways that are certain to alienate certain groups of people. And he knows all that.
He is asking us to actually listen to him, to the music, and ends with an unapologetic statement. This is me, this is what you get, this is what will always be. And as you loop the album, the "will you listen" question is ever present in the way he gets uncomfortably honest about who he is, and all the things that have transpired before (some significantly more recent).
"Stick to me, walk beside me; stride by stride together; show me how to dance; drift with me."
If we just listen and embrace him, embrace Sleep Token for all that they are, maybe we can actually dance forever - as a team. Together.
#which is again a huge callback to “you don't wanna listen you just wanna dance” and “i wanna dance with somebody who loves me”#two songs that have been at the core of who Sleep Token is and what it represents#he's becoming someone new by going back to his roots. by reminding himself (and us) WHO he is and this is all about#sleep token#even in arcadia#sleep token lore#darya is unhinged#<- archival tags. i count this as lore too. need to add tags to some recent posts cus i keep forgetting

When Astarion is talking about how Cazador starved him, giving him only as much blood as he needed to function, he says this:
"I existed. That was enough for him."
Meaning Cazador valued him only as a tool.
The relationship he forms with Tav/Durge is the exact opposite, though the words could be the same.
You exist. That is enough for me.
Meaning they demand nothing of him. He doesn't need to be anything other than himself in order to be loved and valued.
#i'm accumulating a collection of moments like this where Astarion's words get reused in new ways to show contrast#his narrative is so full of mirrors and callbacks and i'm very normal about it#i'm actually obsessed#astarion#bg3 astarion#astarion ancunin#bg3

If I had my way, no one would touch Tim's Red Robin run without having read Batman: Prodigal, YJ 1998, and Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul (at minimum) first. I understand why people do, but also…..you miss soooo much of the story's depth if you don't read those books first
there are just so many callbacks and references and character nuance and background context that you will NEVER EVER GET if you don't understand how Yost's run is the deliberate culmination of 20+ years of stories that rewards readers who have followed Tim's character and relationships and growth since 1989
#tim drake#dc comics#batman#batfam#red robin#where's silver's post about how many references and callbacks are packed into the first 12 issues of RR when you need it

I've always found the idea of using lofty titles like Duke and Deo for baby names hilarious, primarily due to the beautiful image of little baby Warlord smashing mashed peas up his nose at the dinner table, but am I funny enough as an unimpressive 5'3" dumpster-diving transmasc to name myself something as cringingly, lavishly grandiose as "King"?
we shall see
#I will admit. I am tempted#Never really minded my legal name#But I do share a name with a royal so it would be a fun callback#Could I introduce myself without cringing? No#But would it be funny? Yes#And I haven't found a regular name I like yet#This face is NOT a Dennis#Does not look right#But my GOD could I live for the irony#For additional context#I have a reputation at work for eating just about anything#And almost everything I own is thrifted or from the curb#I am not an opulent man#And I dress like a tactical circus wizard#So I feel like I could hack it#Seeking opinions#Cringe or based#I just know my Opa would laugh
