The modern prometheus
#as someone who’s a huge fan of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein I loved seeing the parallels in arcane#whether it was intended or not lol#while Viktor matches Victor Frankenstein’s pursuit of knowledge in spite of his own hubris to leave behind some sort of legacy kinda arc#it really is Jayce who symbolically embodies that role in the end#realizing your mistake way too late and going on a wild chase after your own crime against nature#very on brand#especially with the whole man of progress thing god the symbolism is everywhere#basically act one Frankenstein is Viktor and act two is Jayce#which coincidentally lines up with the show lmao#my art#art#digital art#fanart#sketch#procreate#illustration#haliai art#jayvik#arcane#jayce talis#arcane jayce#viktor arcane#also technically the hex goo thing is supposed to be bigger but I didn’t feel like widening my canvas

metamy is insane. like.
what if i was the hero you loved gone wrong. defeated and destroyed. rebuilt as my own greatest enemy. what if i lost everything. what if i had been reprogrammed to despise all i had once fought for. what if i couldn't even remember why i had fought at all.
and what if you were made of roses. what if you represented every beautiful thing i once died trying to protect. what if you wore flowers in your hair and cared for small creatures and had eyes the color of the forests i used to call my home. what if you were everything i once loved.
those memories are just out of my reach. infuriatingly. maddeningly. but if anyone knows who i am (who i used to be) it's you. if anyone can make me feel like who i used to be (who i really am) it's you. i can't speak, i can't breathe, i can't remember anything (but you).
you are the world i have been ordered to burn. i am the weapon you have chosen to resist. i was (am) the hero that you loved.
you are my only memory.
i will do anything to make you believe me.
#sonic#metamy#metal sonic#amy rose#like. the motifs man. the robot falls in love with rose.#he fought and died to protect nature. her name is AMY ROSE.#he fought and died to protect nature and HE WAS CONVERTED INTO A METAL WEAPON. used against his OWN DREAM.#you are a weapon against yourself. what do you remember? i remember her (i remember failing her)#he's cold. (un)dead. sharp. made of metal. enemy of life. LITERALLY AT WAR WITH HIMSELF (metalsonic v sonic).#she's so so warm. bright. soft. covered in flowers. the only thing that could be good and patient and loving enough to endure him.#it's about his unspoken obsession. he has no mouth he makes no sound he cannot blink or smile or cry.#so he stares in silence at a girl so beautiful and gentle he almost remembers. almost. almost. almost.#all she sees (at first) is a tool. a cold imitation of her love. staring unblinking. unthinking unfeeling.#and then. confusion. and then curiosity.#and when she figures it out. it turns to horror.#BUT THATS FOR LATER!#the best part to me is that weird phase where amy is like. what is this thing doinggg😭 (secretly affectionate) while metal stares at her👁👁#and composes love poem death threats (2 sonic) in his mind.#its about jealousy. im the true sonic. you say you love sonic and im sonic why dont you love me? love me. love me#-> you are kind to me. i had forgotten that feeling. i wont lose it again. so im gonna kill your boyfriend . if thats okay😁beepboop!#the dynamic between amy and sonic and sonics weird undead evil robot clone WHO WANTS TO BE 'THE REAL' SONIC SO BADLY is sooooo yummy.#esp if sonic in turn is like. 'is. is he actually a contender in this. AMY. YOURE BETTER THAN THIS.'#sonic's own sense of ego and entitlement (/pos i love him hes a rat) clashing in two separate forms. two separate lifetimes.#but! that rose! that same rose!!!!!!!!!!!#(clutches head in hands)#.txt

Echo: (groggy, handcuffed to a chair) Where am I?
Bountyhunter: None of your business!
Echo: You… kidnapped me?
Bountyhunter: How else am I supposed to get paid for delivering you?
Echo: So you’re gonna keep me here? By myself?
Bountyhunter: Well, the payout on the other four wasn’t as good, so, yeah.
Echo: Oh thank the kriffing Force — You have no idea how badly I need a break!
Bountyhunter: Wh–what? I just kidnapped you!
Echo: Yes but Tech was infodumping. He’s been at it since 3 AM.
Bountyhunter: That's worse than being held for ransom?
Echo: *nods vigorously* Especially when I don’t know half the words he uses.
Part One of "Echo Gets Kidnapped" | Part Two
#the bad batch#star wars#sw tbb#tbb echo#tbb hunter#tbb wrecker#tbb crosshair#tbb tech#tech infodumps like crazy and randomly#Echo thought it was cute at first but now he wants to bang his head against the wall#The others have learned to ignore their genius brother but he is not acclimated yet and has no natural immunity#being kidnapped would honestly be a short vacay for this man#he knows the Batch is coming to rescue him but he's taking advantage of the break#Like “I've got roughly four hours to enjoy this before they blow your little hideout apart so I'm going to make the frigging most of it”#incorrect quotes#tbb incorrect quotes

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ㅅ´ ˘ )♡#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga is–#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes of–#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and her–#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I mean‚ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joy–#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the “proving my strength against–#myself” narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity that–#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw and–#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (╥﹏╥) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Also‚‚‚‚‚ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily on–#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the belief–#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we really–#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

i don’t know if i’m ever gonna write the fic but i’ve been thinking abt like. the eternal stockade. the implications. lup, a lich who was trapped in a dark featureless cell for a decade completely isolated with nothing to keep her sanity but her own mind. she has to put people in the eternal stockade. how many liches does she see herself in. how many liches started out just like her. how many liches are truly too far gone. and the only liches we ever see other than her and barry are edward and lydia. they’re certainly evil, but mad? they seem pretty sane. they’re not, like, tattered echoes of souls, they’re definitely still people. even as much of a grudge as lup surely has against them, wouldn’t they remind her incredibly strongly of herself? do they deserve to be trapped just like she was? for eternity? isn’t eternity what turned john to existential despair in the first place?
#mine#taz balance#taz lup#lup#like idk i think lup’s down to kick necromancer ass but when it comes to being like. WARDENS of a PRISON. would that not be uncomfortable??#but like taking the job is the only way to avoid HER being thrown in prison??#idk the raven queen being a cool & chill goddess boss is definitely fun but when you actually think abt it#i don’t think i’d agree with her. i think if i lived in that world i’d think she were sort of evil#which like also to get into the hunger vs authority its not very explored because its not at all the point#the hunger is meant to be nihilism and despair and dissatisfaction its at its core an emotional story about joy & love#but like john starts out rebelling against laws. laws of the universe; except that it turns out a being wrote those laws (jeffandrew)#so the hunger is also sort of a force of rebelling against unjust constraints in the pursuit of freedom?#and the heroes end up preserving the status quo and saying you just have to find joy within those unjust limitations#which again. like. the point is that life is unfair and you can find joy and meaning despite it. which is true to real life.#i’m not saying the hunger was right or that despair is the only way or w/e like#yk like taz balance is not a story about society its more about. philosophy i guess#the point is that life’s really hard and you find meaning anyway and that’s preferable to despair and death#thematically for the audience we understand these are standins for ways of viewing reality#and in the real world reality is what it is. its just the world. there’s no authority that writes the laws of nature#like its not a ‘man vs authority’ story its a ‘man vs nature’ story#but IN UNIVERSE nature IS an authority. jeffandrew and the gods. regardless of how much joy you can find in an unjust world#if i lived in it i’d want to make it more just! but anyway like yeah barry & lup working for the raven queen#is kinda an extension on that idea of preserving the status quo#although i guess you could say gods are just forces of nature. theyre not PEOPLE theyre just personifications of existent natural laws#and it ties in w istus and fate as well#although fate is like a comforting guiding force rather than restricting & horrifying#^ pay no attention to any of this i don’t think it really means anything i’m just like. writing thoughts as i have them#not like a hard stance i’m taking just exploring some ideas#any ways#THERES A TAG LIMIT??

i don't think we talk about what an absolute BANGER of a line Techno dropped on Quackity before their fight, post-execution
imagine: you're Quackity. you've been through fucking hell. you fought tooth and nail to get this country, traded sides as many times as you needed to, all to end up on the winning side. you finally are a part of L'Manburg, the real L'Manburg, a country of people and love and loyalty.
and there's a dark cloud hanging over your heads, one that cups wither skeletons in its hands and echoes with laughter and the sound of TNT. Technoblade is out there, and could come back at any second to ruin everything you've built. you fought for this, you've schemed for this-- hell, Tommy got exiled to protect this place.
so you decide to be proactive. you put together the Butcher's Army, you prepare for a fight and to kill a man because you'll do anything for this country. you push your young, stressed president into a bloodthirsty plan. you harass Philza, the grief-stricken father of your old rival and fallen president, and rob him, lock him in his home.
you track down Technoblade. you strike with the force of four men in full netherite, and you're losing. you get desperate, you threaten the horse that he loves, and it's the only thing that saves your lives. and you did it-- you've captured Technoblade, you've brought him in, and set him under an anvil. months of planning have paid off, and you're finally going to have retribution, the peace of knowing that's one less person out there who wants you and your home in ashes.
except you don't succeed. except a mercenary and the true ruler of the Greater SMP destroy your plans and Technoblade has a Totem of Undying and your execution is now a battle-- a battle you ignore, rushing through the smoke and blades and screams. because you saw Technoblade run.
you rush into the caves after him-- full netherite armor, axe drawn. you're going to end this yourself. this can't have all been for nothing.
and standing against him, declaring your intentions, he laughs, and simply asks:
"Did you really think... you could kill me that easily, Quackity?"
Like all you did, like all those months of planning and hours of scheming, all of your blood, sweat, and tears, weren't the best you could give? like everything you did wasn't with the full intention of ending this decisively? like all your work was nothing more than a rough few hours for him?
and you fight. and you lose. you lose to a man in iron armor and a pickaxe-- a pickaxe he puts through your face.
and nursing your wounds, staring at the ruins of a execution stage, you know he'll be back. and now, you know exactly how futile your efforts to stop him were-- and how much harder you have to try anyway, because there's nothing to do but desperately raise your shields against the falling of the axe, even when it's doomed to strike again
#dsmp#c!quackity#c!technoblade#dsmp meta#butcher's army#idk man#i just... i think about it a lot#quackity's rising paranoia and defensive nature against technoblade's “treat others as they treat you” philosophy#really does make for such a perfect “doomed by the narrative” storyline#because there really was no other way this could end#and isn't that sad#i'm still dsmp posting in 2024? more likely than you think

You must believe the magic Within you
#elena of avalor#eoa#elena#elena castillo flores#princess elena#sofia the first#sofia the 1st#StF#Elena and the Secret of Avalor#Shuriki#Noticed this really clever parallel between Elena's first and last attempt to shoot down Shuriki#With how Elena corners Shuriki in a palace and aims a magical weapon at her#But one little revelation lead to another#Shuriki's wand was highly connected to her and gave her youth#Elena was magical from the Amulet yes but it was naturally Shuriki's so it was far more difficult to use it#Meanwhile the Scepter channeled the magic Elena obtained when Sofia rescued her from the Amulet#She had to master it yes but worked a hell of a lot better than the wand#And like the wand it was connected to Elena physically by draining away her power#So like Shuriki's wand it was a weapon that directly tied to them and usable by them#So Elena had to kill Shuriki not by using Shuriki's magic against her#But by using the magic at her own disposal#i.e. the magic within her#Maybe I'm overanalyzing but god this just makes that scene even more badass#I fucken love this show man#disney channel#disney junior

end roll X stranger things 2v2 🔥
super random and self-indulgent crossover but. i did some pixels in a kind of semi-battle setup for fun ehe. the pairings feel both a little similar to me and VERY different ofc it's so funny
separate duos and alts under the cut :>
#end roll#chrissell#stranger things#byler#pixel art#my art#shyly adding the ST tags for anyone over there interested in the byler ones#IS IT OBVIOUS I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN WITH PIXEL ART RN#i swear i've got normal art coming real soon too#btw this is bc the byler brainrot has been hitting hard while rewatching ST with my family and i lowkey wanted to doodle a little w them#but then like chrissell owns me man i can't draw anything without them 🥺#also i think a crossover/au in general could be cool actually. same ages as of s4 i think too cackle#screaming tho bc I DIDN'T GIVE BYLER ANY WEAPONS#they're just chilling 😔 will's just got his painting there#and russell initially had his KNIFE GBSJJBKGSKJBGKBJ#they're up against a cold-blooded murderer and a delinquent who are both armed i'm setting them up to be utterly destroyed 😭#I'M SORRY MY BABIES#they can compensate w their intimate bond and semicanon nature vs my pure delulu over chrissell's literal crumbs of on-screen interaction 💔#i say that with love ofc still they make me happier than anything else just how they are <3

perhaps it is time to dust off the western omegaverse au with wolfwood. perhaps.
#you’re maybe going cielo….western AND omegaverse?#yes they surprisingly fit very well together#bc westerns are always about the land and nature vs man#and omegaverse is often about the *nature* of the secondary sexes#whether trying to fight against it or accept it#i think they can both be great looks at how you survive in a harsh environment or with harsh nature

btw i completely understand why some fanders are frustrated by janus’ current mischaracterization but i just want y’all to remember that the other sides changed a lot too, in the course of the series, and not necessarily because of organic character development or a planned out arc
#like roman started off as a classic prince character and slowly evolved into a gay jock theatre man#logan was a lot more expressive and even dramatic in some of the earlier episodes#so yeah i feel like it’s just the natural course of things#as long as janus’ characterization doesn’t directly go against his purpose or morals i’m fine with it#sanders sides#thomas sanders#tss#sasi#janus sanders#sanders sides janus#thomas sanders sides

I do feel the need to talk just a little bit more about Tozer's weird reluctance to challenge or act against Hickey actually.
"This needn't be a second mutiny." he says.
But why the fuck not, Solomon?
You've literally already committed a mutiny! Why why WHY are you suddenly drawing a line in the sand at the idea of committing another one?
You were willing to set yourself in opposition to the Royal Navy, to the whole British fuckin' Empire, really! So why are you now so unwilling to/incapable of railing against the will of just one single strange wee man?
#I don't really have anything coherent to say about this yet#It just drives me wild it really does#It's against the natural order of things god damn it!#Both that Tozer's a man of action suddenly refusing to fucking act!#And that one person is seemingly able to wield more power over him than a whole empire ever did#Anyhoo#No coherence yet only vibes#The Terror#The Terror AMC#Solomon Tozer#Cornelius Hickey
