#like a badass statue

So there's posts and fics with Alpha-17 as an Arc trainer.

Echo probably had to do a lot pf physical therapy/training after he was rescued. Alpha-17 from what I've picked up of the comics probably had to do the same.

So how about Alpha-17 looking at this trooper and he remembers training him and his brother, who's gone now, and knows the two of them were competent as fuck even if he's not gonna tell them that, can't let the younger vod get cocky, and he's all too familiar with grieving and recovering SO the day after Echo and the Batch land on Kamino he shows up in the training room they're using just like "come on you little shit time to get you back into shape."

And Echo just turns to Tech and goes "Maybe you should have left me in that stasis chamber."

The Batch just kinda blinks at that cause they haven't heard him joke much and Alpha-17 just goes "still a little shit. good. now get your ass over here before I have to come get you."

Yea what were doing with B.E.N's other forms are cool and all but like

Guys I feel like we're sleeping on some potential with some of these. Like these images here have like so much horror aspect to them and I think we should work with these forms more 🥺

I hope one day we get a mainline sonic game focusing on a side character where sonic gets into trouble and need to be saved

Thinking about Tewkesbury and Raoul for no reason other than the fact that they are both (or were both) Viscounts.

happy sleepover saturday!!! next will question will be photos of lulu BUT would you like to draw your fav opera npc? i understand there arent npcs in operas but one w npc vibes. also. badass women in opera for the uneducated?

i would say that operas Absolutely have npcs, we just call them supernumeraries lol (supernumeraries are nonspeaking/nonsinging roles, like an extra in a movie or tv show)

anyway my fave has to be donna elvira's maid in this production of don giovanni. the maid is referenced once or twice in the libretto and in most productions she shows up maybe once but doesn't really do much, if she shows up at all. but in this one she's onstage a LOT and practically gets her own arc, despite the entire time being completely silent. i think it's a FASCINATING addition to the opera and i love it so much

I love both Ging Freecss and Silva Zoldyck.

"But they are neglectful/abusive fathers!"

And I really do not give a flying fuck. Gon and Killua both respect them and they're cool as hell. If the canon story does not treat them as villains, why the hell will you? Are you smarter than the author? Don't be ridiculous.

An anime/manga is not supposed to be taken like therapy anyway so it doesn't matter what you think about their parenting. Maybe if you stop projecting your daddy issues, you can enjoy this story better.

Part 2 of the Thrilling Saga of Californian stuck in New York

[guttersniper]

while mutt does sometimes inspire parental feelings, usually in people who already are parents, as far as fond relationships go, he's more likely to give off the energy of a little brother, a cool young cousin, an apprentice/mentee, or simply that kid you have an intergenerational friendship and rapport with. his general attitude/bearing and fierce independence has something to do with it -- he doesn't act in a way that suggests he particularly needs or wants someone to feel that way about him.

[insertcoolnameherethanks]

My one fear is that ST5 does go back in time and no one remembers, therefore Steve is still King Steve and loses the friendships he's made with the kids and Robin

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited
