Meme I found on reddit that quite accurately describes how certain parts of the fandom are taking the extra chapter…

[marimeeko]

You know what, it's fine guys.

Izuku was just running to uraraka bc he wants her advice on how to plan the most amazing proposal to Katsuki.

[glitchedmagic]

okay. under the assumption that namemc spoilers are a troll, i think i have my final wildcard prediction:

gem and pearl said (paraphrasing) that the mobs were all weird and that wasn't really the wildcard nor a spoiler. it's the last episode, so presumably grian didn't want everyone to die to random wildcard effects (some people was probably fine)

so my prediction is decaying/corrupting world. something about the world is falling apart. maybe gravity changes? blocks getting replaced? shrinking world border? idk exactly but i feel like this would be fun for a couple of reasons

a sense of finality to the season. it has to end here because the world is literally falling apart

a deadline. its got to be tempting for the cc's to drag out the last session and try and gear up/prepare/get enough content. this puts a hard clock on the season

a strangely thematic ending (imo). this world was weird and wild. things happened that were not supposed to happen. eventually all of that energy had to break and the world broke too

the fanart would fuck. just. so hard. after a season of ridiculousness, the drama artists deserve to go ham

anyways even if this isn't the wildcard, im going to hc the server corrupting as the season ends. a treat for me

"I can barely even think straight - the agony I am feeling is completely unbearable. I weep, I beg, I plead - but no one answers me. No one even appears to be there."

(a quote from my Bluesummers simulation.)

feels like no one will tell Legato to stop being emotional about the injuries in this timeline.

no fucking one.

i hope they won't change his backstory.

[warriorfujoshi]

me: i hate reading theory

me seeing a guy who wrote a book in 1992 accurately predict the state of 2023 in all its manmade horrors:

[agirlnamednix]

I want to clarify a couple things:

When I say "distrust", I mean that I have no faith in their other writing. Zenos is a good villain for almost exclusively a single reason; throwing that away tells me that you don't understand what makes a good villain. Without his moral bankruptcy and singular focus in fighting you, Zenos has no foundation.

I'm not trashing people for being silly about pixels; I'm SPECIFICALLY talking about the quality of the WRITING. Zenos being babygirl in fanart is fine. Small "what if" snippets are great! But the people who write entire novellas about Zenos doing the fun girlfriend things with their WoL OC is just...bland. It's uninteresting, tells me nothing about your WoL, and turns Zenos into something he's absolutely OPPOSED to. Tilting a character a bit to fit into your narrative is good...just keep it in that character's range, yeah?

Edit: Oops; this was meant to rb my own post. This isn't directed at Pyro. xD

Spicy take, but I viscerally distrust anyone who portrays Zenos as a romantic figure.

I super enjoy those who decide to headcanon that he came back with them from Ultima Thule. That your mutual near-death mortal combat changed him in some way. But that he's still a violent, exceedingly dangerous piece of trauma that needs to be contained. And you WoL OCs who match his savagery beat for beat? I see you. I appreciate you. You're doing it RIGHT, even if there are romantic undertones.

But Zenos is not your "babygirl". He's not someone you can have and hold. He wants to fight you. He wants you to fill his mouth with his own blood. He wants you to kill him.

And you did.

You killed him.

He got what he wanted and so did you, if you respect his character. Making him into your squishy shows an utter disregard for what makes him a GOOD FOIL TO THE WARRIOR OR LIGHT.

I want to be clear: subverting what the devs intend for a character is fine! People bringing back Hades to be a traveling companion now that he has his memories back? That's pretty neat. But why doesn't anyone do that with Venat? Or Hythlodaeus? Or...

...literally anyone other than the biggest baddest villains of the entire game?

Zenos was meant to die by your hand. Emet-Selch was meant to die by your hand. If you're going to keep them around in your head-canon, please at least TRY to have some diligence regarding what makes these characters GOOD.

Zenos's entire staple as a compelling villain is that he's your dark reflection. A reflection you can choose to deny...or accept as your truth. As such, as your character changes so should he. How you find joy should change how he finds joy, and vice versa. But he is STILL the hunter. As are you.

So instead of putting him in a slutty two-piece and going to the beach, take your Dark Passenger with you on a hunt. I'm sure he and Zoraal Ja would have a LOT to uh..."say" to each other. >:3x

my new year's artwork won't be done until tomorrow, but i at least wanted to make a little post celebrating it before it turns! see you in 2025 ❤️

going into a personal ramble about my year under the cut. im mostly just talking to the void but feel free to read if you want!

this year has been. wow. if i had to put the definition of an emotional rollercoaster it would be this year for me

so much happened, yet so much DIDN'T happen simultaneously?? i don't really know how to think tbh 😭 i think above all i'm relieved it's over and i get to (hopefully) have a fresh start again

i got a lot accomplished this year. i graduated and got a degree which is a huge thing!!! i went for and accomplished lot of difficult things i had to do that i wouldn't even think about considering last year, and i feel my mental health has been beyond improved from it. last year i took note of how i consistently put myself in a box to make others happy, and i noticed i significantly improved in regards to how i see myself and made sure to put my own health first. there's still MUCH more to work on, god, and i've still been struggling with it, but i've been taking steps and that's all that matters to me. i want to continue taking better care of myself next year

on the downside though.. a bunch of personal stuff i had no control over happened in july and to put it in a way, i was scared for my life. it's settled now, and even got better, but i haven't been that terrified in a very long time. it was so difficult for me to cope with and i'm very grateful it's not something to worry about anymore, but i would be lying if i said i wasn't scared for what horrific event next year will bring for me. i noticed the past few years, something awful happened that made me seriously question, doubt or even straight up hating myself :') and i'm not looking forward to experiencing that again next year in the slightest. but at least, i'll try to get better at it

i've felt pretty disappointed and unhappy with my art this year as well, for whatever reason. it was mentioned to me that it could just be burnout (i HAVE been drawing more consistently than i ever have throughout this year, especially due to college, which makes sense) but whatever i try to do experimental-wise, i just can't be happy with it. i think the major reason is the way i've been shading, because i might be instinctively holding myself back. i don't want my art to be too eyestrainy or give people headaches by looking at it obviously, but i feel like as a result i've been making my art feel too "muddy" for my liking. so! i decided one of my new years resolutions will be to be way more spontaneous with the way i use colors and try not to put that box on myself. one thing i can say is, i tried a Lot of new things with art this year, including working on complex backgrounds, putting in way more effort into pieces enough to be full illustrations, etc etc. and i hope to break a ton more boundaries next year too. regardless, i can't thank you enough for your continued support. it seriously means a ton to me. i know i repeat myself a lot but i always mean it

hopefully 2025 will bring us more kirby too! we haven't had a full year without a new kirby game since 2021, and even then forgotten land got revealed! so i get the feeling something HUGE is coming. also looking forward to pokemon legends z-a too (im insane over it). and the hypothetical manager magolor plush. <- copium.

thanks for reading, and i hope 2025 is a fun, enjoyable year. hopefully it'll be nice to us

~ mac ❤️

tubbo’s 5 day long copiuming for étoiles to show up paid off <33 (transcript below the cut)

[Video transcript:

Tubbo: ‘Did Etoiles arrive?’ What do you mean, Etoiles has always been here, I’m in his basement right now. What do you mean ‘did he arrive’. I’m literally in his basement. He’s always been here. I’m literally in his basement, man.

Tubbo: And you’ve literally interrupted me again, wow! Wow. While I’m telling you the most important part of my story. Wow.

Tubbo: Wow, ‘show us’? Oh, I can’t. I— he’s camera shy, he’s camera shy, you know Etoiles. He’s camera shy, he’s a faceless streamer. He’s a faceless streamer! It’d be wrong to show him but just know he’s here! He is here, he’s just camera shy.

Tubbo: And he’s been so nice to let me stream in his basement so I don’t wanna like— you know, I don’t wanna like interrupt. Like you know? Like— it’s his boundaries, don’t— don’t, it’s his boundaries. Just he is here, I promise he’s here! I promise.

[sound of door opening]

Tubbo: He— he is definitely here. He is— [looks to the side, starts yelling]

[Etoiles enters, pushes Tubbo over and out of the way of the gaming setup]

Etoiles: Wh- where is the game? [gestures to computer screen]

Tubbo: What game? Oh, I haven’t started yet

Etoiles: [disappointment]

Tubbo: Pfft, hey!

Etoiles: We don’t give a shit about your shitty Just Chatting! Discussing about dumb stuff, saying—

Tubbo: What do you mean dumb stuff? It’s not dumb

Etoiles: [imitating Tubbo] Uhhh look, I’m with ten of my friends and I just want to— I’m here, pressing buttons—

Etoiles: No, the setup is kinda cool

Tubbo: Yeah, yeah, see it’s alright! It’s alright—

tged webtoon ep 175 spoilers and thoughts but it's nothing really serious i just really enjoyed this week LMFAO and more below the cut

.

.

.

i need it to be known that this panel was the thumbnail for the ep and i was . so confused. bc wow that expression is not one u usually see on javier but also considering what happened in the angel arc,,, maybe,,, he's learning to be more like lloyd for real after all,,, LMFAOOO

and then it turned out it was just the spirit king's perception of him AHAHAHAHA the other two panels showing that were good too,,, wow,,, whats wrong with him,,, with THEM,,, /j genuinely the gags where javier looks lowkey like a fucking thug are so silly funny WAHAHAHA

they say the more u spend time w ur loved ones the more u become like them,,, or something like that. idk thats just what i heard HAHA

and jesus christ yeah okay when you look at lloyd's construction from this lens. yeah. the spirit king does have a very very good point about protecting nature from forces like this,,, lloyd buddy you've been fucking with nature a lil too much cool it a lil bit ur making spirits mad sob sob sob

i do hope that lloyd and the spirit king are able to come to a compromise? cause im sure lloyd wouldn't just,,, fuck up nature just Cause right,,, right,,,,,,? he's a good enough guy,,,,,,,,,,,, right,,,,,,,,,,,

speaking of the spirit king. oh my god that's just fucking ice king . cmon now HAHAHAHA

the resemblance,,, just enough to avoid copyright probably. thats so silly HAHAHAHA

it's ok mr spirit king. surely lloyd will. compromise. after u stop uuhh attacking ofc but like. yeah,,,,,, surely,,,,, <- so much copium oh my god please lloyd don't fuck this up LAKFJDLSDJKF

ALSOOO more world building reinforcement hehe, based on what we know about when the demon king prequel takes place, this dragon should be tyrannus!

i think the way u can tell too besides just Knowing that is the missing gem on the forehead; verkis has a gem directly on his forehead thats pretty bright (in both tged and dkc), whereas tyrannus has no gem at all! so this dragon in this ep is absolutely tyrannus,,, i wonder what else he was up to at this time,,, hm hm!!!

oh also,,, the estate citizens reactions to the snow piling on was actually really really sweet,,, they're so cute look at them,,, work hard play hard as they say!!!

i think it's really telling that they're able to play so freely like this even without lloyd's explicit say-so bc ofc, lloyd wouldn't force anybody to work in bad conditions,,, they know when to rest, they know safety like the back of their hands, and they know lloyd wouldn't make them work in a mf blizzard,,, :') true fronterans,,,

also the humans being absolutely drenched in mana and power is also incredibly funny . i am incredibly curious to know what kind of powerhouses came out of frontera estate in the years between tged and cpsm. this is so silly i love it

ALSO I KNEW LLOYDS SINGING WOULD BE A FORCE OF FUCKING NATURE IT TAKES DOWN SPIRITS TOO THATS SO FUCKING INSANE. alicia's reaction too fucking SENT ME bc i had forgotten that she technically had never heard his singing before LMFAOOO (in the bone dragon arc she had covered her ears w mana and was spared,,, my god,,, an atomic bomb of a weapon) the fucking timing of the spirit just. falling LMFAOOO

some insane fucking expressions btw. lloyd u never cease to amaze w how fucking monstrous u look sometimes. artist youve outdone urself again . im VERY happy we got something other than the open mouth ones (theyre monstrously good but like the spit freaks me out HAHA) so the grinning is. CHEFS KISS. lloyd,,, u really dont ever hold back,,,

ALSO ALICIA FUCKING SMACKING HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD AND THEN THREATENING TO NEVER SEE LLOYD AGAIN IF HE SANG. AND LLOYD'S EXPRESSION AS A RESULT. CHRIST LKADJFLKJSDFHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

THESE PANELS WERE SO FUCKING GOOD. LLOYD LOOKS SO DAMN DISTRAUGHT HE LOOKS SO UPSET HELP MEEEE . saddest fucking puppy ive ever seen jesus christ. HE LOOKS SO SAD,,, maybe he thought the queen wouldn't be too bothered by the singing since EVERYONE ELSE WAS but no,,, not even she can handle it,,, hey lloyd, at least javier is willing to appreciate the effort u put in by singing (not that he'd ever want to listen but y'know,,, its the thought that counts,,,)

like bro literally looks like this

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AND THEN the moment, the very MOMENT that the spirit king determines that he wants to kill lloyd,,, oohhh it's over for him,,,

"HERE COMES JAVIER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!"

GENUINELY THIS PANEL IS SO COOL TOO the build up to it in the episode was also really really good,,,, from a tiny twinkle to a zoomed in motion blur of javier getting ready to SWING at the mf i REALLY LIKE THAT

i went insane over this on twitter i was so so happy to see this,,, literally the very moment he detects any threat to lloyd, javier just KNOWS. he drops EVERYTHING and IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO HIS AID. that's so,,,,, THAT'S SO!??!?!?,,,,, ACCUSATORY POINT,,,, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.

fellas is it gay to know exactly when your friend is in trouble and immediately fight for him no matter what. /j /lh

i really like that lloyd knew immediately too. he knows his knight. he's well aware of what javier would do,,, he'd probably do the same for him,,, god they know each other so well. im so. they make me SICK. affectionately

and then the final nail in the coffin (in a very positive way),,, alicia wondering why she even fell for lloyd,,, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

she's questioning everything in this very moment and yet i'm willing to bet she'll just accept that this is how he is,,, alicia and javier shaking hands fr

god i couldn't stop giggling this entire ep. there were so many silly things and shenanigans in this ep while also getting into the start of smth to consider when they're building the railroad (i.e. the issue of construction fucking up the natural mountain/nature around them). i just had a lot of fun overall and i really really like that,,, im very happy :3 YAYYYY YAYYYYY

excited to see what happens next week,,, i really hope they come to a good compromise w the spirit king!!!

[fishymom-art]

Coming in here only looking at the Copium au in passing and then finding out the most gut wrenching lore while scrolling through the dashboard is like getting hit with a baseball bat for me.

Anyways! Wow! Okay! I'm horrified and interested! Oh no!

Every time you see something wholesome from me, look out for a good ol’ punch in the guts on the side, because I am THE angst artist/writer

[sludgekludge]

hearing that you haven't seen the hh s2 leaks is SO funny to me because. would you believe me if i told you that in the one fully leaked ep about heaven, adam comes back as a hallucination that a rage induced and emotionally unstable lute is suffering from after abel was given the title as the new leader of the exorcists instead of her like she and fans assumed, and the FIRST thing that leaves adams mouth when he comes back is along the lines of "wow you're so pissed lol!! you on your period or something?"

received this back to back with the sir pentious ask which felt like a collaborative effort to push me down the worlds largest staircase i feel insane.

real talk not only was i desperately (futile. i don't need to know anything about the leaks to know this was copium on my end) hoping that they would give lute a personality outside of adam in s2 but like. for some fucking reason hearing that she hallucinates him (immediately being a misogynist to her?? if my bestie died and i hallucinated her in grief and the first words out of her hallucinated mouth were 'cringe. failwoman' i'd kms) had me looking around my room like someone was about to get me i was just so baffled i started frantically looking around in terror

[royjamieism]

I’m lurking in the sever and it’s business as normal. I think most people don’t know what’s happening but one noteable thing is the silence from some regular members. Cecile wasn’t in the server at all today and a few others are absent too. It’s wild.

very very interesting………..!!

me and the other ex-mods have gotten so much support over the last few days from so many regulars tbh my heart is so full. whats most impactful to me is how basically everyone has said wow that completely tracks/they expected it and really explains so much about how rancid the vibes have become, especially since izzy and i were forced out in the summer. its been so wonderful getting so much appreciation expressed to us after everything TIP put us through bc then it doesnt seen like SUCH a pointless exercise in excessive suffering for one ungrateful and vindictive womans ego

curious to see how this 700+ member server with no mods other than the server owner will cope. if you see mod applications open for that place, i truly recommend you save yourself as theres a reason why its a one woman shitshow and chell can discover it by looking in the mirror

its also crazy to me that chell put so much time energy and copium into defending this evil french woman and cecile just cut and ran LOL excellent choice in friends pal
