"Light Spinner" was honestly the most heartbreaking She Ra episode I've seen so far
Catra constantly insists she is nothing like Shadow Weaver in any way, but the parallels between her journey and Shadow Weaver's as Light Spinner are not even subtle. Shadow Weaver even says they are similar, that she reminds her of herself. And as much as Catra insists she doesn't want that, of course she wants that. She wants them to be similar because she thinks that Shadow Weaver will finally love her and appreciate her if she's another version of her, only better, if she doesn't make the same mistakes, if she comes out on top. She hates her so much but she also wants to BE her, but the thing preventing her from following in Shadow Weaver's footsteps is the best part about her. It's her capacity for love and kindness. It's her lack of selfishness and greed. She never wanted to rule the hoard or be second in command, but she feels like she has to be even as her own nature rebels against it.
#it astounds me when people say Catra wasn't well written#look at this#its right in front of you#she wants love but the only way she knows to get it is power#I am going to cry#I already have but I'll do it again#and shadow weaver can go die in a hole with no one to love her for doing this to catra#catra#shadow weaver#spop#she ra and the princesses of power#catra meta#spop meta#I'm still only on season 2 but I feel like I sort of know where this is going#DIE shadow weaver DIE#why shadow weaver deserves death: a saga

Caterina just announcing Lucanis as First Talon at a dramatic moment in front of all the other Talons feels the same as when someone proposes to their partner in a public place with friends and family around so they feel pressured to say yes
#Lucanis Dellamorte#veilguard spoilers#I wonder if she knew that this new version of Lucanis was more likely to stand up for himself and might actually refuse if she'd asked#So she didn't ask and just announced it publicly#And right after House Dellamorte has had the worst press day of its life imagine if its now only heir had also publicly insulted the First#Talon by saying no to her in front of everyone#I also wonder if Caterina was intentionally tying Lucanis' decision to Illario's fate#You want to decide what happens to him? You have to be First Talon for that.

Gavin mentally: wait... that doesn't add up........
#detroit become human#gavin reed#rk900#because you guys have been so supportive i managed to pull through and actually draw a silly comic thing#also drew some of it while watching my favorite movie the incredible movie clue (1985)#and honestly i think the dynamic here is just like mustard and wadsworth going#are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests / you dont need any help from me / THATS. RIGHT.#but anyway the take here is that hi i liked a lot of fics where (as i said before with mutual pining) nines finds gavins looks appealing#like wow hes so not perfect i am enamored with him hmmmm surely thats not mutual#while being v handsome himself so yeah!#it IS technically from the incorrect quotes generator but also! it fits i think#well fits enough for me to get away with#guys i like mutual pining too much and i like processing power of like wait a sec... supercomputer calculator brain cant do math what#while nines is like well if i cant do math then its no longer condescending so i win on a technicality in this conversation#because who doesnt want to win a conversation on a technicality when there isnt actually a competition#wanting to win conversations is so normal i love winning a conversation#(authors note - i failed a conversation today)

And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.
#ffxiv#sketch#wol#meteor survivor#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#oh no#its the consequences of his actions#everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did#(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all#and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that#little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with#its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes#and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants#but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him#until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away#the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext#and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked#is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth#and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to#besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant#and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him#and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for#and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys#(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol

percy is middle eastern (specifically lebanese) argue with god
are headcanons about percys ethnicity still cool in 2023. idk im forcing you all to look at it anyway
no way in hell would the entire fucking country look at a little 12 year old white boy and be like "yeah I definitely believe that this child is a terrorist" like they did in TLT
described as looking 'Mediterranean', tans easily
not uncommon for ppl in the levant to have the dark hair/complexion + light eyes combo
also not uncommon for (non-muslim) swana ppl in the US to have vaguely western-sounding names. his last name was anglicized don't ask questions
fun nod to civilizations like the phoenicians being seafarers, poseidon's multiple connections to phoenicia in greek myth + historically being worshipped in the area
he would use the heinous insults that exist in arabic as casually as one would talk about the weather. he doesnt even actually know arabic he just knows how to say fuck you in all its iterations.
just realized how funny this hc would be in light of that comment he made in SoM shitting on hummus LMAOOOOOO
#percy jackson#pjo#hoo#feel like maybe there might be more things in the books that could be like......stretched to accommodate this hc but i cant think of anymor#anyway. its funny that i spent years just being like âidk what he is but hes not whiteâ when the answer was right in front of me all along#hes a little whitewashed though bless his heart <3#DISCLAIMER. i'm arab and this is me projecting. ALL POC PERCY HCS I LOVE YOU!!#lebanese percy

if you met an alternate reality version of yourself that was better than you in every single way would that be fucked up or what lol
#my art#dca fandom#daycare attendant#moondrop#sundrop#sunnydrop#<- technically its an oc but they're purposefully drawn to resemble the dca's decal art so idk if it even counts as an oc lol#i really enjoy the concept of an accurate dca being face to face with a version of themselves that isnt 'ugly' or 'weird'#the image of the person you should've been but that you can never achieve. and they're standing right there in front of you#(but then eventually you see them fall into the same tragedy that you did. and now you need to be there for them#in the same ways that nobody was there for you)#if i could write and/or had the attention span required for a comic series i would never shut up about these two btw#newmoonAU#<- haha ignore that :) smiles

i truly don't understand the complaint that "oh, x information is only in codex entries, why didn't they put it in the game!" well anyone who's been around in this series for longer than five minutes knows that the codex is not just there for funsies or as a meaningless lore dump. there is often extremely pertinent character details and background information in there, as well as heart-wrenching and thematically appropriate stories that are worth reading. it is the dev's intention that you as the player are taking the time to read at least some of it. it is in the game. it's right there. in the codex.
#inspired by people complaining about elgar'nan and ghilan'nain's depth being ''hidden in the codex and in notes''#its not hidden though its right there. in front of you.#dav#haterism moment#mine

and donât get me started on hispanics. im not black, im mexican so i just⌠dont say it. itâs not that hard, but for some reason a lot of them do and when people confront them about it they go âoh im latino i can say itâ YOU LIVE IN AMERICA. MORE IMPORTANTLY IN A BLUE STATE. YOU LEARN ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS EACH YEAR YOU LITERALLY CANNOT BE THIS IGNORANT WITHOUT ACTUALLY JUST DOING IT ON PURPOSE
i feel like no one really talks about the way a lot of white people that grew up in majority poc communities feel like they have the right to say the n word?? like they can without dealing with consequences.. from experience, thereâs always been huge controversy in my school because âthis white student said the n wordâ âthis white teacher said the n word with the hard râ 3 students and 2 teachers so far in just TWO years alone had said it. one of them didnât even acknowledge it afterwards and denied it. it might just be the schools ive been in but like whatâs going onâŚ?????
#itâs not even that hard just listen in class#the tools are right in front of you itâs not like you have to search things up on your own#its right in front of you#frankly no one should be saying any slurs but like if you say it and you canât reclaim it#then people are definitely going to take it the wrong way#in simple terms if i said faggot no one would care because i am quite openly gay#and it might even be seen as âim taking back what was used against me and being more positive about itâ#but if my straight friend said it simply because sheâs friends with me that would be bad right?#itâs the same thing with any negative word holy shit

(almost) all instances of water in the official 4 minutes trailer
+ fire:
#4 minutes#4 minutes the series#bible wichapas#jes jespipat#loan.blr#loan.gif#loan.4mins#once again this was unnecessary. but im sooooo obsessed with it. what does it all meeeeean?#the imageryâ˘#okay so. its *almost* because:#(1) there is a 5 frame shot of a body of water#(2) 3 frame shot that is the same frame 3 times of water trickling on concrete maybe#(3) right after the second gif the scene transforms into them sitting in front of that... big ass window or whatever#and i wasn't a 100% percent sure it was the water reflecting them or just camera work#and also was not enough frames to make it stand on its#also you might argue that bible smoking is also kind of a fire.#but i digress.

i want to think that when Pearl gets older she's embarrassed by how she would ship people she knew when she was a kid and how she was basically trying to force them together (slight projection on my part)
full look at my take of a future Pearl design here!!
#i would also ship ppl i knew and would even tell them i did but at least wouldnt be forcing them together LMAO#i am still embarrassed abt it tho. but its why i find pearl endearing bc her thing w phoenix and maya im like.#sigh. yeah i was like that as a kid. i can't blame her for that.#aa time travel au#ace attorney#pearl fey#phoenix wright#susato mikotoba#ryunosuke naruhodo#apollo justice#athena cykes#artists on tumblr#id in alt text#please dont tag as a ship between ryunosuke and susato!!#lmao w this i wanted to emulate the feeling of when you go to a family reunion and older relatives would just tell each other embarrassing#stories of you when you were a kid right in front of you

it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent
#xmen#xmen comic#krakoa#cherik#snap chats#until the divorce of course but until then its actually so funny#how you really couldnt go a page or two without one or the other and the other one was close behind#ice climber ass duo over here. the delightful children from down the lane kind of proximity what the fuck was their PROBLEM#i feel like if one of them was teleported the other would just materialize right next to them thats how close they were#fuuuck what was the issue where sabretooth and co are in like. Brain Prison or something#and victor imagines charles but everyones like 'wait its weird if its just him where's magneto'#ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY and i NEED to know what issue that was .... to add it to my collection ....#also killed me how in immoral x-men issue 1 charles was yappin bout erik bein gone#and- God Bless Who i forget i think it was hope- was just 'can you please shut up about your dead boyfriend im begging you'#moira stronger than me if i had to deal with thing 1 and thing 2 on a daily basis i woulda snapped sooner frankly#ig when you live ten times through The Most Bullshit ever youre numb to most things but still. my god theyre so obnoxious#sorry im cackling at the bit in HoX where charles is about to announce krakoa to the world and erik's putting his hand on his shoulder#and you justs see moira in the back like dawgggg right in front of her .... can you two get a room#GENUINELY no im GENUINELY surprised they dont share a bedroom#im not even talking sharing a bed im taking my shipper goggles off im actually baffled they dont sleep in the same building#obvi id be lyin if i said i didnt love it tho To Be Real .. genuinely love seein them work together as a team .. until they werent </3#in every timeline they WILL divorce each other that's just the rule. actual canon event it cannot be changed or stopped its integral#ok ramble over. but not really not in spirit cause ill never be over this ill die before i am#im gonna go eat now i think i think thats something i As A Human has to do at least once a day

just thinking about how despite AtS trying to portray it as comedic bickering amongst bros, Spike actually has decades worth of reasons to hate Angel, while Angel has remarkably few reasons to hate Spike. And it should maybe be concerning that from School Hard on, Angel adopts an absolute "don't see what this has to do with me" reaction to him?
#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer#spike btvs#ats#angel the series#spike spent 100 years with a front row seat to the worst damage Angel ever inflicted#spending every day trying to fix in dru what angel tried to destroy#just to later save the world and have angel belittle his sacrifice and mock him for thinking buffy cared about him at all#with angel knowing full well at that point just how much buffy does care#and the show is like 'can you BELIEVE Spike is trying to steal the prophecy Angel EARNED by being so heroic???'#'spike needs to learn from angel what real atonement and personal responsibility is'#anyway#props to Destiny#the only episode that got it right#and then immediately forgot its entire thesis statement
