#let him be weird

[pocketseizure]

I don’t think Ganondorf is a nice person. I think he’s an intense and difficult person. Based on what we see of him in the games, Ganondorf prefers solitude and the companionship of monsters to the company of people. He’s unable to trust or rely on others, and he makes terrible decisions with earth-shatteringly horrible consequences. If Ganondorf were a real person, he would be insufferable and genuinely unpleasant (perhaps even frightening) to be around.

Still, I don’t think “being a good person” is necessary to being a good fictional character, nor should it be. Ganondorf shouldn’t have to be friendly in order to be sympathetic. He’s attempting to achieve an extraordinary object of desire. That level of ambition alone makes him charismatic and interesting, as do the narrative themes and questions it entails. For instance, how do you weigh the importance of a goal against the sacrifices necessary to attain it? After the cost becomes great enough, can you still afford to give up or change your mind? Is it possible for truly evil actions to serve a greater good?

I’m not saying that kindness isn’t a worthwhile virtue for real people in the real world, but I don’t think a fictional character should be expected to be “nice” in order to be compelling. Ganondorf doesn’t need to be friendly. Let him be weird and unhinged.

[dongbangskies]

I love that he’s an awkward turd and they’re putting a spotlight on it.

He’s not cool and extroverted like Zack. He’s fucking awkward and all that distant cool guy act is just a front.

personally i think this is the most autistic thing i’ve ever seen cloud do

The 2D vs 3D contrast of the sonic and shadow generation hubworlds cracks me up the more I think about it

Bonus:

Dipper and Mabel’s parents should count themselves lucky it took 40 years for these two losers to reconcile

On the contrary I think people should draw grian as MORE funky creatures.

Okay we've all seen fish and bird and watcher

What about more weird things like a dragon? A wendigo? A lizard? A bunny even? He is a gremlin and I think more people should embrace it.

I’m so sick of hybrids I just want to see a normal ass grian for once. please no more wings no more watchers he’s just a guy in a red sweater. he dresses like my grandpa PLEASE

the best way to luffy’s stomach is through his heart (or something like that)

a four page one piece fancomic in which luffy and law talk about luffy’s stomach

page 1

panel 1: a top view of luffy and law sitting in grass. luffy is leaning back on his hands with his legs outstretched. law sits crosslegged between them. they are both looking down at the hole in luffy’s abdomen, where law has used his devil fruit power to remove his stomach. “whoa! cool!” says luffy, while law hums, “hmm… interesting.”

panel 2: a close-up of law’s hand holding luffy’s stomach in its cube-like container. “it looks surprisingly average,” law says, “for a bottomless pit.”

panel 3: “isn’t it weird?” luffy asks. he is sitting with his back to the viewer, but his smile is still visible as he leans into law’s space. law is still crosslegged, holding the stomach, and he looks vaguely uncomfortable as luffy keeps talking. luffy says, “that thing can make food stop looking like food and start looking like poop! huh. wonder how it does that…”

page 2

panel 1: law looks off to the side, sweating and kinda grouchy. knowing he’ll regret this, he mutters, “i… know how… at least for NORMAL humans.”

panel 2: the back of luffy’s head takes up most of the panel as he demands, “what?! i wanna know too!” law grits his teeth and shouts back, “you’re just gonna fall asleep!” and luffy yells, “nuh-uh!”

panel 3: luffy grins widely, throws his arms out to the side, and flops onto his back in the grass. he’s loudly yelling, “tell me! tell me, traffy!”

page 3

panel 1: law is visible from a low-angle, as if from luffy’s pov on the ground. he sighs, “fine. here’s how it works.”

panel 2: this panel looks similar to the previous, but its slightly darker, with gray bars at the top and bottom, narrowing visibility to show luffy’s eyes are closing. law continues, “the stomach has two main functions.”

panel 3: law is now barely visible through the gap. luffy is almost asleep. law says, “the first, as YOU know, is the storage of food.”

panel 4: the background is completely dark, and law’s words trail off, “the second is—“

page 4

panel 1: a large, top view of luffy lying on his back in the grass. his arms are thrown wide still and his eyes are open. he has just jolted awake, saying, “hmm?” off-screen, law complains, “i don’t know WHY i bothered.”

panel 2: law accuses, “you didn’t listen to a word i said.” luffy sits up, his lips pursed and eyes narrowed because he’s a terrible liar. he says, “sure i did,” dragging out the “sure.”

panel 3: luffy breaks into a grin and proudly declares, “it’s a mystery!” law cuts him off with a “NO,” his speech bubble literally dripping with disdain.

panel 4: the silhouette of luffy and law sitting side by side. law is whapping luffy on the head with a light fist. law says, “idiot…” before bonking him. luffy yells, “hey!” but he is laughing, and a small “heh” shows law is too.

Watching DN on the side again and it's about time Naomi beats Lights ass. Homeboy has no chance against Misora Massacre.

Many thots and feelings about “Tommy is weirded out,” and I’m loving several theories, but I just think I would enjoy having Tommy as the constant audience surrogate who is like, again? This happens every week? Jesus Christ. Yeah, I’ll contribute to the monthly parking timeshare the 118 has at the hospital, but Jesus Christ you know this isn’t normal. Yes I’ll help you steal a rocket ship but I’m drawing the line at submarines, I do NOT fuck with the ocean. Please pass the salad.

DPxDC Au: Normally when Danny vandalizes ancient cave walls and historic places on his 'favor' missions for Clockwork, he gets sent back to erase them. But no, apparently this time, when Danny added his actual phone number into some painting, he's not allowed to go back and fix it. Ugh.

...

Tim has had the painting of Bruce professionally reviewed a few times since the old Bat was retrieved from the time stream. He's not entirely sure how the painting still exists, he's not even sure that it matters any more... But one day Tim catches something new in the painting.

It was small, and it could've just been the light at first but... Is that a phone number in the background?? It looks like black marker on the black curtains and it makes him feel feral. The family is kinder this time about how they think he's gone crazy- but each one of them admit that they can't remember a phone number ever being present.

The lab reports that the number was added over the paint- and that it's an ink based marking akin to a sharpie but like, hundreds of years old. So... It's been added recently but not at all recently enough for Tim to have an explanation.

Tim doesn't want to hear any more of his family members opinions on the matter and he certainly isn't going to just, stop investigating or something stupid like that. So, he takes the painting to the tower, gathers his team (Cassie, Kon and Bart), and they call the number in the middle of the night after a lot of planning/back-and-forth/catastrophizing.

It doesn't answer until the final ring, and the static that comes through the phone is bone chilling. A deep, monstrous groan which echoed with agony fills the room.

"I have a math test in like, three hours, who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you calling in the middle of the night?" The voice now complains, still sounding vaguely inhuman despite it's very human word choices.

"Your number is in a historical painting, we had a few questions but uh, you can call us back later?" Tim cringes as he says it but he hadn't planned on having to reply to someone trying to go back to bed. Or someone who was apparently also a teenager. (He had so, so many contingency plans for like, every kind of villain, alien or demon. lame.)

"...Ugh. might as well." The voice calls out, agreeing with a sigh that echos so deeply the team can feel it in their bones.

"Cool. Good luck on your test?" Tim offers.

"Mph." And the line hangs up.

...

Danny is at lunch with Sam and Tucker when he remembers the late night call. He'd spent the morning bitching about never getting a full night of sleep and it finally occurred to him what had happened. Of course his friends think it's hilarious that CW wouldn't let him erase his number. Of course they do.

They stop laughing when Danny calls the number back.

"Hello, this is Red Robin of Gotham. I have Superboy, Wonder girl and Impulse present with me. How did your math test go?"

WOOO we're finally getting some Ride Kamens story content! ...and it's mostly Leon getting REALLY into being a small business owner! this is (unironically) an excellent sign for the future.
