ive been seeing a lot of mermaid zoros lately and i like him and i think that silly octopus that he let cling to him in the jaya arc should be his little-mermaid-flounder-sidekick friend

#wtf... art #these panels are so cute im gonna be sick #like he takes off the barrel and it just climbs up onto his shoulders and he just lets it chill? i should kill you. i NEED to kill you #i love when people draw him with a bunch of scars from all the shit hes dealt with over the course of the series #but i usually dont like doing the same bc i dont like being consistent nor do i like actually going back and analyzing every injury he gets #so i just wont ^_^ whered he get that from? who knows. and you can be certain that i am NOT drawing his scars the same the next time #as a Monster/non-human Biology Enthusiast his tail definitely needs to be bigger than this for Proper Mermaid Anatomy but whatever #roronoa zoro #one piece fanart #one piece zoro #zoro

will someone point out to jack that he too was going to get the ring for boss by marrying rosé? and he only didn't because of romantic qualms and not moral ones?

#jack and joker #jack and joker the series #jack & joker #jack & joker the series #these are the questions i ask myself to avoid insanity #because if i focus on how we're back to step one with jack hating joke and joke hating himself i am gonna lose it #and because if i think about toi ting i will actually join her and jennie's character off a balcony #if the three little pigs don't have joke's back in this whole ring business and vocally tell jack off i will be even madder #jack baby i love you and i get it really but focus on getting the real asshole killed #preferably by aran's hand #(after going through the tag and seeing how many people are mad at jack i feel like it's important that i say that he is still my babygirl)#(in this house we love complicated charachters and their fuck ups and their complicated reactions)

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month

#horror needs to find a way for him to get back at dust for almost killing him #horror IMMEDIATELY booby traps dust's room's door with several fatal traps. and then dust just teleports away to dodge them #horrors incredibly cool bone manipulation power is incredibly underrated. neither dust nor killer can do what he does #when i say people underestimate just how powerful horror is i mean this #he has MANY shows of power where he summons a shitton of bones. or when he's clever and tricky #using tiny bones so his karma can hit the guards more and kill them faster??? GENIUS #granted kist could definitely think of something like that but that doesn't mean horror's a coughing baby #ok back to my original post. i came up with this after doing my little dusttale translation thing #dust is such a fucking asshole during it all istg and i whooped and cheered every time he was a fucking dick #when he doesn't know what to do when in doubt destroy everything you see. what a guy #he'd definitely be a lot smarter than that in real situations but again #he came up with that strategy while he was under the impression that he was in a dream #so i do think this little prick can be quite an unrestrained destructive force when he doesn't know whats real or not #can i just talk more about translated dust because GODDDD he was SO FUCKING COOL IN MAD TIME SERIES I SWEAR #when he plucked floweys petals off him one by one???? and then berated him??? and the nursing home comment??????? fuck i lov him #can you please unspill the spilled blod??? sick ass line. i think he knew from the start he was gonna betray flowey in that one #god i love canon dust so much he's such a sadistic shit. and he likes it. what a freak. HE LIKES IT #the only person he outwardly expressed regret about killing was papyrus. you'd think he'd care more about everyone else but NOPE #or maybe he did in the earlier runs. still doesn't hide from the fact that he was cruel to everyone else. because thats dusttale 4 you #youre on death row and theyve sentenced you to endless torture and then the mtt pulls up #listen man if i were on death row and they were my torturers id let them do whatever. my babies can get back at me for making them suffer #canon horrordust my beloved i love canon horror and dust #idk if killer in this is like totally canon but idc. it's such a funny idea to make him unbothered when he's injured its hilarious #horror and dust's personal little punching bag ✨✨#killer sans #dust sans #horror sans #murder time trio #utmv #tricule hc

Regarding Demise: He is an interesting concept, as is the whole eternal cycle, but for that to actually become something worthwhile the games/stories would have to actually DO something with it. So far they are introduced in Skyward Sword and thats it! No other game even references them. And, yes, that cheapens EVERY other game because there is this implication that its all out of the control of the actual characters in the story because of this one asshole that we only ever saw once! Why not have Ganondorf realize that he is possessed/manipulated by this weird old Demon God? How would he react, would he embrace it, would he rebel, would he be broken by the realization that none of his actions were ever *his*? I dont even care which of these options they pick, as long as they pick any of it and do just ANYTHING with the concept.

Or maybe Link or Zelda figures out the Cycle and starts looking into breaking it because endlessly repeating Demon Attacks kinda suck and you dont want that for your descendants.

Or have a game focus on them remembering bits from past lives and having to piece it all together or, again, just ANYTHING!

The closest they ever came to was with BOTW Zelda praying to Hylia, aka HERSELF, to unlock her powers, which is some brutal narrative irony, but not much more.

And regarding the whole Zelda is Hylia thing, I've seen some headcanons about how Skyward Sword Zelda is terrified of herself after learning that, because she now has to assume that everything she did was planned by a version of her that she no longer is. Is Link her friend or is he the useful pawn that Hylia needs to turn into the Hero? Does she even deserve his affection when she probably manipulated him into becoming her champion and fighting, possibly dying for her all her life?

Thats juicy, thats something you can do something with but Nintendo really does like to plan those stories game per game without any care for the larger story.

Which I guess is the Irony of it all. They tried the whole larger connected story/universe thing once: With Skyward Sword. After all that was also the time we got the first Hyrule Historia & "official timeline" as well as "How it all began" in the game itself.

It felt like the start of a new era for Zelda games and stories and then it just... wasn't.

And while I get that they want to focus on gameplay over story, I will never stop mourning the stories we could get/have gotten, if they put a bit more thought into things.

I actually feel like its harder to make the 'cycle' into an interesting plot point when its a .. divine thing that happens, and not perpetuated by the people (though not impossible, given how the series is build up it would need alot of work to not make it worse still..)-

i actually cannot stand the idea that ganondorf is possessed or manipulated, made eviler by demise somehow (demise is dead, leave him beeeeee hes not some evil master mind behind anything aaaaah) bc it STILL takes away ganondorfs agency and character and gives right into the whole hes basically born evil and just pushes the fault tm onto someone else it in turn legitimizes that the kingdom of hyrule and its high rule (heehoo) is right and if only gan wasnt manipulated hed be good tm, aka allied with the goodest guys, hed gladly accept their invitation and join their holy empire of goodness tm if wasnt for da demon

(and i love to say, who decides what is good tm and evil tm? bc hyrules monarchs making every other tribe their subordinate and persecuting shiekah for example isnt what id call good but its fine bc the good holy guys did it in the name of "peace" -what is their idea of peace? everyones under their rule and must worship their god? uh oh- and resistance to it is gonna get you labelled as evil!! (unless you join their holy kingdom and become their vassal of GOOD) what good and evil boils down to in zelda is .. being allied/ruled by the kingdom of hyrule and being opposed to them, even if its only not wanting to be subjugated by them)

i can see the appeal to some degree, but i dont like the idea of ganondorf even being able to be manipulated or possessed, what makes his character, before it got flattened into well he just be demon in the eyes of the average fandom, interesting is his unbreakable will, that drive to keep on living and resisting those that want him dead, its poetic and sad, to the point that (until totk ...) it was really just ONE ganondorf that refused to die and came back over and over (also something i found a compelling thought for botw, that after all this time theres nothing left BUT his will to resist, its a tragic idea that rly spoke to me)

my personal idea of the cycle is that its only a cycle bc they, the kingdom of hyrule and their belief system, keep it going, its not a divine thing that needs to be broken (though the divine surely messes with it, just for the bit i guess) but something that keeps repeating bc hyrule is so soaked into the idea that their princess once was a god and hers is the right to rule it all in light- so anyone who doesnt agree must be of the demons from the darkness seeking to destroy the world, and what means the 'world' could just mean the kingdom of hyrule- in botw even with the calamity people went on and lived, same in windwaker, they dont need the holy kingdom to live- (who is to say the 'monsters' are bad for the land, to me they mostly looked like well adapted territorial beasts, and the bokblins etc clearly arent mindless monsters either, why do they need to be eradicated? they attack you? ok dont go into their territory, or defend yourself, you dont need to exterminate something just bc it could be a threat at some point)

(i do agree that conflict with zelda being interesting but uuuh .. well they never did anythign with that huh)

in the end, demise was just a throw away villain, and if i may get my tin foil hat back here, i feel like the whole creation myth skyward sword does was really just a way for them to get out of the predicament of having to consider a villain to be treated like a person to save themselves from having to think about what they imply and can just go, well this is the evil demons, this is the good gods- ironically enough the attempt to get out of having to consider complicated writing it ends up reversing straight back into the WORST of kinds of implications .. that arent even subtext anymore, if totk is anythign to go by, the most 'simple' or 'easy' narrative to go for might not be actually simple, just a so often retold one that it appears simple if not made aware of its dark maw, the status quo repeated ad nauseam

(and if i may, the whole gameplay over story thing is bs in my eyes, that sounds like the typical attempt of dismissing any critique, just like the stupid, and frankly, offensive "its just for kids" argument, story and gameplay are inherently intertwined, the story influences the gameplay, the gameplay influences the story, especially in a series like zelda that is a futile thing to go for and a reason why the stories themselves lack depth, how are you gonna have an epic adventure that drives you to get through any amount of puzzles and battles if there is no story to motivate you, at this point it feels like the series has set itself up for catastrophic failure bc i imagine, people might just keep buying and playing the games bc its attached to the series, bc they hope to see characters they loved return, new ones that will grab their attention, perhaps be taken away by a world that meant alot to them once before, hope that there will be something exciting-

i am not saying the series has no value or doesnt do anything well (hello who am i) but how many times can you repeat 'this guy good he fight evil guy he get the pretty princess as reward' without any interesting twists or narrative, even the most beloved characters can only keep it passable for so long, even the best gameplay loses its potential if its surrounded by cardboard characters and a story so "simple" as offensive it fits into a single page, i often wonder how a game would be seen if it wasnt titled -the legend of zelda- ..

it hurts especially when looking at its long history, how much estblished thigns it could exploit and expand, the potential the series has is still immense, it hurts to see it be wasted over and over :(

#ganondoodles answers #ganondoodles talks #zelda #i dont need it to be mind breaking #i just want it to be interesting #botw was interesting to me!! so much so!! god i miss loving that game- totk just gives everything a bitter taste..#i dont find echoes of wisdoms lore that interesting as some seem to do #the main thing being you play.. as zelda (and need to transform into link via mystic energy to be able to actually fight hahaaa)#and i find that cool but also a little .. sad? like this series is so set in its path that even playing as the other good guy is a big hook #i have nothing much against the game (other than how zelda is handled- of course she da priestess not a hero .. the FUCKING UI ARGH)#idk totk kinda killed how invested i was into the lore #im just kinda numb to it by now ... like whatever #i still care mind you- but it would take alot ot get me excited again #also this long ass response isnt meant agressively or something #i just have .. opinions tm #also .. the whole breakign the cycle is the entire idea of my totk rewrite- with zelda having to realize she is part of what perpetuates it #and everything shes been told all her life was a lie- shaking her entire worldview to the core #anyway #im gonna guess this wasnt the point of the ask but uh ... words go brrrrr

the ‘why would anyone entrust Akutagawa with Aya remember what happened the last time he took care of a young girl 🤔’ is such a dogshit take. like bro are we gonna just forget his whole-ass younger sister who he dotes on or, idk, perhaps literally the fact that his villain origin story is that he COULDNT PROTECT HIS FRIENDS IN THE SLUMS i am killing all of you with hammers

#when oda loses his mind and goes on a murder spree when the kids he so desperately tried to protect are murdered it’s cool #but when fourteen year old akutagawa does it he’s a villain #okay #it’s not even subtext that Akutagawa treated Kyoka like that because she reminded him of himself #and Dazai gave him a ‘reason to live’ so he passed on this ‘purpose’ to her as well #don’t worry about why I’m awake at 2am akuposting #bsd 117 #HE chose to spare aya even as a vampire #HE chose to keep his promise not to kill #HE chose to die for atsushi #if y’all don’t see the fact that Aku is undergoing perhaps the most character development in all of bsd #then I don’t even know what to tell you.#also cmon anyone gonna believe that Kunikida is actually a milkshake #from Kafka ‘deathbait’ asagiri #he has ‘killed’ everyone in the series already bro #it does not stick #… also I love bsd but. dude.#did you skip the ‘cry wolf and other ways not to write stories 101’#if ya keep ‘killing’ characters and then always bringing them back #no one is gonna believe you and the emotional impact is going to lessen #like we haven’t learned our lesson from: dazai chuuya fyodor sigma akutagawa mori #fukuzawa Kunikida tanizaki naomi #uhh Nikolai Kyoka Fitzgerald #Katai gin hirotsu #mushitaro etc etc etc #… actually it would be funny if someone put a flowchart of this together #oh I am getting so off point. okay.#anyway… dazai you bitch-ass you could never make me hate akutagawa

Diana on a new background story for John, his storyline in book 10 and future Lord John novels/novellas. She also mentions The Haunted Soldier (apparently there’s something that happens in that novella that is going to be important for John in book 10?) and how his storyline in s8 will be a bit different from what she plans to do in book 10.

Not a lot to go on, but…

#outlander #lord john series #lord john grey #john grey #diana gabaldon #i was thinking (hoping?) a new love interest but i don’t remember any character from THS that could be that #tbh if she retcons and says that john had some kind of intense love affair #with a random dude that we never heard of after killing percy i’m gonna be pissed af #also doing some rushed love story for john in the last book just to give him a happy ending as if you hadn’t had 4 books to do that is crazy #anyway maybe it’s not even THAT but another thing altogether idk #i doubt she would do that anyway because the idea of john getting over jamie seems alien to her #but a girl can dream

“That’s a bold choice, Dalek Supreme, coming to a wedding planet dressed in white! Unless you’re here to get hitched… should I be flattered?”

“We are here to exterminate you.”

“Oh, that’s probably for the best. Not sure River would be up for a marriage à trois… not with a Dalek, at any rate.”

—Eleventh Doctor Chronicles: Victory of the Doctor

#hearts-wrenching audio… methinks it's time for my ''SERIAL CHEATERS OR OPEN MARRIAGE?'' poll I've been wanting to do #river song #eleventh doctor #yowzah #bein real the ending of this audio series was gorgeous - the wedding - Valarie talking about all the therapy she's gonna get #and the implication Doctor goes meditating as a monk in Bells of Saint John for a similar reason- very similar to the prequel miniepisode #ngl this audio series set up The Day of the Doctor better than all of Season 7B #what with it being about the Doctor being terrified of becoming a Warrior again and losing himself to that #if the daleks are around then he killed his people for nothing! now he/oswin made the daleks forget the only thing they fear! noooo #also this part ‘I hate you!!!’ ‘...I hate me too’#BTW i DO enjoy season 7b but it had obvious behind-the-scenes setbacks i.e. half the stories being wrote for Victorian Clara #and I appreciate the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles for filling in with that time war existential dread #and I love valarie/roanna. and I love the paradigm daleks and I love this boxset for making them so threatening #words by seaweed

this is useful context for how the former jujutsu system worked, and how it affected its sorcerers and their individual characterizations, i think. again, cultural context and setting matter a lot.

#i do enjoy some of gege's commentary through the series #i think 'cog mentality' and 'self-responsibility' and 'greater good' are all under the theme of 'self-determination'#(aside from love and power)#self-determination and the balancing act of oneself and the group #love's gonne get you killed but pride's gonna be the death of you and me #from kenny to kenny or something #jjk
