On your most recent From the Couch post... is that a dragon tattoo I see poking out of Zuko's collar? ...................may we see more of it?

You may see all of it.

#dema answers #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla fanart #atla art #prince zuko #tales from the couch #atla modern au #atla au #zuko art #zuko fanart #atla zuko #Tattooed Zuko #For context!#He got those tattoos during what would be S2 in this AU #This was right before being accepted back home. So he got them during a—let's say—crossroads of destiny *wink wink*#Those are his shame tattoos. He's terribly embarrassed by them so the Gaang tease him about them. (He's secretly very proud of them tho)#It's all about the duality inherent to fire (and himself!) as well as protection.#The red dragon has his back at all times. It protects Zuko from his past—from everything that he has left behind and is walking away from.#The Blue dragon guards him front unknown threats. It curls over his left arm (his most vulnerable side) and rests its head over Zuko's heart #It's all very symbolic #Zuko loves his tattoos but is also embarrassed and ashamed of how he got them. He was in a very bad place at the time.#If he got the chance to get his tattoos done *now*—he probably wouldn't do it.#He wouldn't change a thing tho. They're part of who he is. A reminder of who he was.#Also they're kinda hot #So that helps #Also...I forgot to draw the blue dragon's body on the back of his shoulder so... Oops?#Let us all ignore that and focus on the sun/starbust tattoo on his chest instead #the gaang

Tumblr already showed me twice a post where OP implies that Bruce made the choice to not help Jaybin when he was attacked by an angry mob in Legends, so I had to check, and look at that, they were lying.

Context: the general population has been turned against superheroes.

An angry mob does attack Robin, and what is Batman's reaction? To come to the rescue! He even immediately calls him "son", switching to an endearing term to reassure him. However, Batman is hit in the eyes with a bottle of perfume and blinded, as his attention was on his boy. Gordon tries to get him to leave, but he refuses because he can't leave his boy behind, and when Gordon tells him that his men will take care of Robin, Batman is like "I don't trust your men with my son". Batman is forced out of here, he is so pissef, and he is called "arrogant" by the cops there.

This man trusts ONE cop, and it's Jim Gordon, that's it. And people dare to tell me Bruce isn't an acab believer. He grew up in Gotham and his parents were murdered when he was 8, of course he believes in acab. That's why he was so against his son becoming one.

Anyway, later on, Jason is in the hospital (Bruce was right, Gordon's men didn't do shit), and Bruce is pissed at the situation. However, Jason feels guilty and ashamed, and Bruce immediately goes to comfort him, reminding him he isn't at fault for getting beat up, that Bruce is proud of him and that he is a great Robin. And when Jason compares himself to Dick, Bruce stops that too, bringing up that Dick also had less glorious moments like this. And again, Bruce switches to "son" and "Jay", which convey affection in the goal of comforting his boy.

In the end, Bruce leaves his son safe at the hospital, resolved to not obey the president and get to the bottom of this. Later, Jason decides he cannot stay there and must help, even if it kills him. And people dare say that he wasn't reckless.

Anyway, the other thing about this, apart from Bruce didn't walk away WILLINGLY from Jason being attacked by an angry mob, is that as awful this is, the writers never intended this to be a traumatic experience for Jason. Of course, it would be normally, but it's just a plot point here to get Robin away from Batman while he works with the other heroes. Damn, there isn't even a follow-up to Jason leaving the hospital, he doesn't show up in the next issues to help.

Sometimes, especially with older stories, comics' events don't matter as much as you think they do. If you want to re-imagine them as impacting for the characters, that's your choice, but let's not act as if they were intended to be. Because I saw that moment being used as a comparison to Under The Red Hood, to be like "see Bruce keeps abandoning Jason", and like, calm down with the shortcuts. Because you are making that up, on your own, with what was given to you by different writers over the decades that didn't communicate with each others or agree on the characters.

#bruce wayne #batman #jason todd #robin #dc comics #my ramblings #a pet peeves of mine in this fandom is how people cannot understand that the writers' intentions are and how they matter #like they blame everything on the character as if they are a constant and/or make their own decisions #they are people behind the media you consume think about them for two seconds #I'm tired of posts bashing Bruce for saying or doing something that could easily be put on the writers #like Bruce yelling at Damian for skipping patrols to help at the hospital as if Bruce hasn't shown time and time again #that he wants those kids to stay safe more than anything and if they don't want to be vigilantes that's great #But no let's bash Bruce instead of the PEOPLE WRITING HIM #they want conflicts so they create conflicts and the bigger picture doesn't matter but it exists #I don't feel like I explained myself well words are so hard #op had already blocked me anyway probably because I criticized Jason in the past

personally i think the first thing that would happen after entering the Fade Prison is solas would have a panic attack

#in the course of a few minutes solas gets beat up by a dragon #is confronted by his past sins and the sins against him alike #by the people he loves most one of which is his scary mommygirlfriend he put in a corner in the fade bc he doesnt dare to look at her #then is forgiven and is released from his duty to said mommygirlfriend #all of which makes him abandon the plans hes had for over a decade plus the millenia he was asleep i guess #on the SPOT #to go seek atonement #and then lavellan goes with him. and he LETS her. bc he's too overwhelmed and weak to tell her not to for her own sake. to even brief her o #whats behind that portal #when the portal closes behind him hes 100 percent gonna be like. oh my god what have i done what have i done what just happened i abandoned #my duty shes TRAPPED in here with ME because of ME its my FAULT oh my god oh nooo oooonononofuckfuckfuckfuck #dragon age #solavellan #solas #veilguard spoilers

Prompt 242

He looks the same as he had that fateful day, a storm raging around him and risking sending the ship down into the abyss. Hair whipping in the wind as the sky roars its deadly challenge echoed by the beasts they all sought to bring down those centuries ago.

It looks just as human as they- that is to say not at all, not anymore. A body twisted, sand and lightning melding into a molten sea ever-expanding. Its eyes as gold as the treasure it guards, brilliant blues and greens dancing across bodies in sigils unknown.

It looks exactly as it did that time ago, smile dancing on its lips as the sky opened up in torrents, like blood gushing from a wound. “You’re free to go,” it says, in words they understand and words they don’t. “You don’t have to stay here any longer.”

“Where will we go?” They ask, so very tired of this eternal battle, of being trapped in crashing waves and storms of water and sand. Being tossed one way and the other, never able to go home, for home was gone long ago.

It looks up, their own gaze following, the ship crashing through the dredges of a storm they had thought eternal. And for the first time in eternities, they see them. The stars. Dancing and dripping from a serpentine form that cradles the Sun and Moon, smiling down to the beast and them alike.

And so, they take from the seas, and take to the stars instead.

#Prompts #DCxDP #DPxDC #Storm Core Tucker #Space Core Danny #Life Core Sam #Look I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some trapped spirits from one of Tucker’s past lives #let liminals/ghosts be eldritch to normal people #Why yes the eternal trio are now Ancients #No ghost king Danny here just space man who loves his husband & wife #they might have accidentally made a few cults #And the other ancients aren’t helping they’re cooing about it #like its babies first drawing or something #they’re just tryin to fix this shit that was done through these dimensions a while ago #Sam might have been behind the league of assassins accidentally #Time travel & dimension travel is honestly part of their normal #Sun Core Dan #Moon Core Ellie #Dan & Ellie cackle at them until they get dragged into the accidental pantheon too #Dan gets revenge by telling the mortals that Danny/Phantom/etc is his mother which causes misunderstandings #You know how creation and god myths can get lmao #Ellie claims different things to each dimension and giggles mischeviously #Also feel free to do any sort of crossover or multiple crossovers #Danny Phantom #danny phantom crossover #dp x marvel #dp x mcu #dpxmarvel #eternal trio

Guilt

#To be clear I don't hate Ford #I DO however think he was absolutely haunted by his past mistakes after Weirdmaggedon #He probably felt like he let down the little kid he used to be #The one who'd do anything for his brother #Emotionally stunted and traumatized old man that he is #With his hero complex gone he doesn't have anything to hide behind #Alright alright analysis over #my art #animation #young ford pines #ford pines #stanford pines #gravity falls #The Filbrick and Ford parallels directly post return will never not slay me </3 #Anyway that's why we can't see his eyes in the first few frames #Okay now I'm actually done #character analysis

bleeding dawn petals, march into the haze..

#floyd cyprus #draco almond #also the flower color reverse? totally on purpose hehe #there is meaning behind it btw- anyone can understand it in their own way #but to me tho..#red flowers is the strongest emotion which is passion. and the reason why draco is holding it is because-#-even after his vague childhood and how he got heartbroken in the past and his cold grumpy/annoyed appearance #he still has this strong flame inside of him searching for the real clue of a true bond #grey flowers is that numb feeling. or a negative emotion that are hardly changeable #and the reason why floyd is holding it is because of how he understands/help/care for everyone deeply #but in return; they don’t.#so floyd feels numb. he is used to that feeling #hardly enough he actually embraced it.#and he still keep caring to everyone spreading joy while having that pierced smile on his face…#simblr #sims 4 #ts4 #lets ignore that the aesthetic is SO NOT THEIRS… its spring thats my excuse.

There’s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isn’t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while he’s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because they’re Chip and Jay’s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.

It’s just. There’s something about how he hasn’t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time he’s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though it’s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.

#tw again for tags I’ll say and let me know if I gotta tag any more #but the past 30 episodes have been gillion tidestrider gets the shit beat out of him by the narrative #gillion tidestrider faces passive suicidality and faces old trauma and fresh new trauma #he goes through a shift of his foundation as a person he loses his sister the whole filipe thing and then this Curse #and he goes through with a mindset of ‘these problems exist because I do’ with some heavy implications behind that #it’s been getting easier and easier to choose his own destiny and break from expectations but it’s still not easy #but facing real death. slow and creeping and painful. he realizes he wants to live #not live because destiny demands it but because his friends do. because he does. because he wants to know more and share more of himself #I just. there’s something about all of it yknow #jrwi riptide 98 #jrwi 98 #jrwi #jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #z speaks #at what point should I start tagging spoilers like. 100 maybe?

My toxic trait is that I don't think Nomura hates Kairi, the kh fandom at large just wanted their version of the character over what the writers decided

#which is an old song and dance in every fandom. but you know #Like. I know people wanted a destiny trio focus but I personally really care about her relationship with Axel #I like her unsent letters. I like her inability to let go #''Please work!''. Her choice not to go to quadratam to pair with her inability to protect the way things were #(Even putting herself into a year long sleep trudging through the past)#Her winnie the pooh parallels and being left behind.#Fact of the matter is Kairi got a lot in kh3 (like she was the focus rather than Riku in kh3 tbh)#Idk. Don't always get the ''the writers hate Kairi!!'' take #I just don't think they do #kh text post #kh #kingdom hearts

One final cooking poll.

#mdzs #tgcf #poll #I keep pouring grease on to the kitchen fire with these polls in the hopes it will be a fun thing #this one at least relies on subjective opinions about unstoppable force and immovable object.#every possible outcome is still relatively in character #its up to weighing the strength of each character’s traits against each other.#a fun thought experiment if you will.#***xie lian *has* canonically made decent meals in the past. His current issue is that he gets too experimental. Poor chef’s sense.#And he weaponizes his cooking against others. Quite literally would go 'woe soup upon ye'.#yes there is lore behind why his cooking sucks. Not what the funny poll is about.#I have been making these cooking polls because I like these characters and i like to cook!#alas it is not meant to be. I will be letting the cooking discourse rest forever after this #Will have a comic at the end of this poll's running once again!
