"He's afraid of everything. He's a little awkward, every so often he gets a little aggressive... he's very complicated."

Hearing Matthew Fogel describe Luigi like that, plus some of the expressions in the concept art, has me hoping that at some point (in a very reasonable set of situations) Luigi's going to snap Charlie Kelley style.

Have you experienced anything since the last time we spoke?

Mario taking off his cap when standing before Peach is a detail that I often see mentioned to showcase his gallantry towards her, and I couldn't agree more.

But with that said-

Him offering his arm for her to take is something we need to talk about more, PLEASE.

i don't think the sonic OVA deserves to be called "the one true best sonic movie" to be honest. a main plot point in the movie is that eggman is trying to forcibly marry a teenage girl.

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest

like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!

I'm curious, how would your Suns design look during more serious situations, such as one of the Spearmaster broadcasts?

something like this

and now for a (slightly long) addendum: i know i depict SRS as jokey and kooky, but when it comes to not shitposting and actual characterization, i have Thoughts and Feelings about them. the entire story, they just want to do what they hope will help the people around them, even though it all ends up horribly, HORRIBLY wrong. that's tragic, and it has my interest. considering the heaviness (and intrigue) of SRS’s storyline, for me to only ever depict them as a goofball be way too shallow of me, and unfaithful to their canon characterization.

so to answer your question: they hold themselves together, of course, but the shame, regret, and embarrassment is still evident.

No jokes here. The Navy’s best pilot and the Navy’s best admiral. Between them, eight air-to-air combat kills and five stars. These were men who commanded respect with or without your approval. This was the picture of ruthless competence.

jaime being insane in terms of skill as a swordsman is so key to his status as the #1 resident of idgafghanistan bc that is part of what enables his post-aerys experience faux nihilistic limbo state bc he effectively believes that he can solve any problem (“knots and tangles”) that he even allows to matter atp by cutting it apart with a longsword. the uncomplicated physical keeps protecting him from the complicated mental (kind of like how he frames the dissociative quality of the battle fever to tyrion: “you stop feeling, you stop thinking, you stop being you”). oh the kid wakes up and talks? ok well ill just kill ned and then robert and then. he is so far gone that he does the same with brienne when she embodies two major obstacles: the surface level problem of being his captor who judges, misunderstands, and dehumanizes him, and the deeper problem of being someone who cares and retains her values and humanity and continuously rejects and contradicts jaime’s cynical worldview that he uses to justify himself. her very existence is a condemnation of jaime on every level. this is also why her actually ending up dominating him and him being unsuccessful in cutting her down in that fight works so well. she is a knot he cannot cut through.

if I said that I think Amanda was a near equally horrible parent to Spock as Sarek was but just in a different way, would I get pelted with rocks or what
