[ID in alt]
when characters with very carefully crafted personas begin to crack and expose the truth behind the mask. nikolai, who has spent the entire time he's known fyodor plotting ways to kill him, is horrified when he actually sustains a life-threatening injury. and not only is this the first time we see him express an emotion like this, but he's also stumbling over his words - both verbally and internally - which is not something Nikolai does. he's confident. he's smug. he's a clown and the world is his circus. he's a performer and the mask stays on for everyone.
until fyodor's death is real. he never expected fyodor to be the one to die. he brought a radio with him to celebrate. he wouldn't do that for dazai. he claims he wants to kill fyodor, and he probably thinks he does, but he also didn't truly believe it was possible. he set a goal he didn't believe was achievable. except it was, it is, and it's happening right now before his eyes and--
it doesn't feel like he thought it would. it doesn't feel like freedom. it feels like a new cage you built for yourself.
#i lied i need to overanalyze every panel actually this manga has me in a CHOKEHOLD#bsd 111#bsd chapter 111#bsd spoilers#grace reads bsd#nikolai gogol#fyolai#hello grace here#i don't think i'm ever gonna be over the fact that the only time we see any hesitation in nikolai is after fyodor is injured/dies#nikolai doesn't hesitate. he doesn't doubt. that isn't part of the character he plays.#but you can't hide your truth forever and nikolai's mask is SHATTERING

The JL keeps trying to stop Captain Marvel from talking to the media (and it’s not working)
The jl held a meeting about marvel’s conduct with cops bc he got a little too excited and suplexed a cop completely fucking forgetting he’s a 7ft buff ass man (the video goes viral for months) and the press is having a fucking field day with this bc ‘Captain Marvel Hates The Government!’ ‘Justice League Member, Captain Marvel, Shows His True Colors…?’ ‘Fawcett Superhero Attacks Civilian!’ ‘Captain Marvel Sends Police Officer to ICU!’ ‘Philadelphia Hero Puts Public Servant In Coma’ and shit like that is on the front page of every newspaper, magazine, and tabloid for the next eight months at least
so they’re like ‘hey you gotta say something! The people think you hate the us government esp the police!’ and he’s just sitting there confused before he says very slowly and clearly ‘But I do…I fucking despise them’
Barry and Hal are fucking losing it bc this is the guy that says ‘darn!’ in the heat of battle and has said on multiple occasions ‘Well, that’s not very nice, now is it?’ to opponents that destroy worlds for fun
like this guy still tries very hard not to make faces at the broccoli on his plate in front of the jl (and fails)
this guy hears a yj member or even the very adult titans cussing and going on the longest rant bc ‘I’ve not heard such foul language in all my years-!’ and what’s this ‘‘I’m an adult’ nonsense?? I’m older than Ravens grandfather 🤨 When you get to be my age-’
they’re all so pissed when they hear him cussing like a sailor playing video games on cyborgs phone the next day and he’s playing fucking temple run at that
#dc comics#justice league#ACAB!Billy Batson#dc captain marvel#Billy batson#billy batson says acab#Batman#dc cyborg#Victor stone#green lantern#Barry Allen#Hal Jordan#Whenever Billy gets the chance to cuss out cops he takes it like he’s cussing in ways that don’t even make sense in multiple languages#Like he doesn’t even care or notice that cap isn’t supposed to swear and it’s HIS rule#it doesn’t matter which speedster fucked up the timeline bc billy goes straight for Barry zero hesitation#‘I’d expect this from a cop’ ‘I was literally fucking dead are you serious??’#hal holding a newspaper: cap what did he even do#Billy trying to look like he didn’t fling a cop at several other cops earlier today: who’s to say ☺️#Barry: hey I’m not included in your cop thing right?? …cap?? Buddy??#Billy: 🙂 acab means you and that dumbass mf chase too#Hal remembering Greta ranting about a children’s cartoon at 3am: 🤨 bro the dog???#just imagine how much worse it gets if they figure out he’s in middle school#hal recalling everytime he’s invited cap to take shots and race around the watchtower: you’re fucking twelve?!#billy (who recently turned eleven) holding out Barry’s badge: no but he is#or even worse Billy showing up to his intervention props 😭 like he shows up with a miss piggy mask ‘I mean I can be’

‘What have you learned from watching your performance?’
[X]
First of all Nick will always be the funniest of the Monkeys for me, he’s just so effortlessly funny. He fully predicted the way Alex performs now with the facial expressions, the foot on the monitor and the back bends.
Secondly, the thought of Alex watching the Apollo performance they are talking about and cringing at his own stage banter between songs makes me feel a bit sad. Because he’s so sweet and funny during that show! And people during ‘The Car’ tour complained a lot about his lack of crowd interaction and I feel like that’s probably because in the back of his mind he’s constantly thinking about whether he’s talking too much.
#I definitely feel like over the years he’s become more self censored#in what he says and how he talks there’s now a lot more hesitation and#I feel like he’s constantly placing barriers between who he is and what he lets us see#masking etc but also actively regretting the younger less filtered version of himself#matt helders#jamie cook#richard ayoade#nick o malley#alex turner#arctic monkeys

if ghost becomes a captain himself,,, do y'all think he'd be asked to take his mask off for good?
#i remembered that in the og mw.. soap's callsign was basically forgotten after he became cpt mactavish........#so i imagined that Ghost would be asked to take off the mask for good and he hesitates for the LONGEST TIME#until maybe he goes like “yeah.. maybe it's time to move on” or something idk#ok imma eat my ramen now then it's back to work!!!#call of duty#cod#tim rambles

what are y’alls thoughts on a certain rainbow angel goalkeeper maybe being not as nice as she puts on…
#I know this is kinda canon but what if it goes Deeper#not necesarily ‘not nice’ in a way where she is Mean#more like in the way where kindess and decency don’t come naturally to her#she has to actively work at being a good person#what if every calm smile every warm gesture and every word of care and concern are all carefully picked out#thought over and rehearsed until it almost comes naturally#it’s why andrew was so drawn to her (and why neil was repelled)#they both see behind her carefully curated mask to the darkness in her#I’m just saying like this girl once cut a man from the throat to his groin and would have done it again without hesitation#idk just a different take on renee I’m gonan gnaw on for the few days#renee walker#aftg#all for the game#tfc

college is a bit quieter than i thought it would be right now so i finished the... supersize future keychains i have been working on for a while. my sewing skill is... well, i have never really sewn seriously before, so i'm still prickling myself a lot and making a lot of mistakes, but i'm happy with how those turned out! i still have to attach some keychain rings to them so they can accompany me into The Horrors (college).
#plain doll#lady maria#bloodborne#my art#...though thats more like my craft#they're VERY inaccurate because they were made on a budget of 5$ and a caffeine addled brain ❤️ i still love them#you might be wondering if those are not too big but my backpack is also unreasonably huge#i was hesitating on making Eileen because if i do She Must Come Out Perfect. but now that i figured out how to make Maria and Dolly's hats i#feel much more confident to make Eileen's silly hat and awesome mask so. stay tuned

I love those brief moments we get where we get to see hannibal just be human. Like they're such simple scenes but I adore it.
#like yes! show me how hes still human and has human emotions!#give me those implications that he is deeply traumatized!#show me how he losses control of his mask when will is around!#bless mads mikkelsen and his incredible acting/micro expressions#this was inspired by seeing a gif of hannibal hesitate and fidget with something on his desk when will doesn't show up to his appointment#i love hannibal just being a person#he's my comfort character#i want that man COMFORTED#GET THIS MAN A BLANKET AND A KISS ON THE CHEEK PRONTO#WHAT? NO I DON'T CARE THAT HE KILLS AND EATS PEOPLE#HES SAD. HUG HIM.#nbc hannibal#hannibal lecter#hannibal#hannibal comfort character#hannigram#aml speaks#if you must know. vulnerable hannibal lecter is one of my favorite tags. along with hurt hannibal lecter.#alongside hurt/comfort of course. because im baby

A literature review on vaccine skepticism: An intriguing intersection of history and virology.
Abstract
Global pandemics can be tackled by two means: lockdowns and vaccinations. As vaccination has a low impact on economic outcomes and better acceptance by people, it is the preferred method by most governments as a medium- to long-term solution. Vaccines have played a significant role in reducing the global burden of infectious diseases. They are designed to teach the immune system how to fight a particular infection before it causes a disease in subsequent exposures by creating a memory. Although vaccines effectiveness is well known, anti-vaccination movements pose significant challenges, even in high-income settings, leading to outbreaks of life-threatening infectious diseases. Hesitancy to take vaccines is not new and began with the first vaccination of smallpox. At that time, the problem was solved by a regulatory obligation to take vaccines, declared in England and Wales in 1853, which eventually led to its eradication in 1980. Different studies show that there is a decline in awareness of vaccines, hesitancy to take them, and concerns and trust issues regarding healthcare professionals. These problems have been rising over the past few decades for several reasons, notably, because of misinformation spread by social media. Therefore, the objective of this review is to provide a brief overview about vaccine hesitancy and attributable factors, illustrate the different types of vaccines, show the major challenges of vaccine development, and illustrate the pros and cons of each type.

Would you consider Carmine to be emotionally and psychologically abusive to Kieran? Just finished the Teal Mask and ngl, I ended up greatly disliking her because she just feels too unnecessarily cruel.
No???? Not at all???? Carmine isn't a saint. She needs to understand that some things aren't about her. She also needs to be a better older sister to Kieran. But I don't think she's emotionally and psychologically abusive.
From my own playthrough of the teal mask, I immediately picked up on how intense Carmine is, but my thoughts were " ah yes, an older sister" cause, hello, I'm an older sister, I get it, I get how some dynamics between older and younger siblings work. That being said, Carmine does take it too far- again, she seems like she just doesn't know how to handle her own emotions ( anger seems to be an easier emotion for her to handle), which definitely doesn't justify how she treats Kieran, but it does give perspective imo.
Aaaah, I don't know. Carmine reminds me a lot of my younger self, though much much less intense and brash( and I've long since grew out of that part of my life anyhow). I think Carmine has a lot of growing to do, 100%, but the way she is now....I dunno, I don't think I would classify it as abuse. It's clear that Carmine and Kieran are in a cruel cycle: Kieran is too shy and has horrendously low self esteem that he ends up relying on Carmine for a lot of things, even when he himself wants to do things on his own. In turn, Carmine has been put into this position of Caretaker. The one that handles everything and the one that knows best, and isn't questioned on it. This cycle continues for who knows how until the player comes along and breaks it.....in the worst way possible, but they still break it. It's why Kieran and Carmine pretty much act the way they do, now that they're no longer confined into a role that they've been stuck in for a long time.
I still want to make it clear that Carmine still hurts Kieran,and while I don't think that was her intention ( in fact, I think in her own head she thought she was helping Kieran in some way), it's clear that her actions and behavior has hurt Kieran and it's something she should apologize for.
#i will put this here: i'm incredibly hesitant to use abusive to describe Carmine and Kieran's relationship#toxic and unhealthy? yes. but abusive. not sure.#it seems like a big extreme that doesn't capture their relationship at all imo. though i could be wrong. i dunno#also i hope i didn't paint this being Kieran's fault! it's not!!! i just wanted to point out a cycle that was going on between the siblings#r answers#pokemon carmine#pokemon kieran#pokemon teal mask

based plurality let's go
DEEPLY HONORED BY THIS TAKE........ wearing it like a gold star sticker.... 🥺
I hope I can express this right, but!! It is genuinely SO cool to me, that even though Moe is a study of the self, an exploration of my experiences/feelings, it is SO cool to me!!! That people who have experiences outside of my own can see themselves in it, too!!!!
I also want to say it's a super cool interpretation of Mani, as well. Given what Mani IS -- an entire personality created for the sole purpose of Protecting Moe. And when things get dire, Mani does kick back in again. Ensure Safety, above All Else. Like!!!! It really isn't too far off from how alters come to be!! (Also the fact that it did just. Become its own entity about it. Much to Moe's chagrin. Much even Mani's chagrin. The Lif effect....)
I only worry about "canonizing" it, because I don't have DID, and esp for a self-insert adjacent character... it feels like it's not my place. BUT. BUT. BUT!!!! I DO really want to emphasize that it's such a cool interpretation of Moe and Mani!!!! SO EPIC..... 😳🥺🫡
#ask answered!#i hope this comes off the right way!!! i was genuinely so excited to hear this LMFAO#based moe/mani headcanon.....#again i only hesitate a little to make a solid claim bc it's outside of my experience!#for me mani is unpacking years of autistic masking and perfectionism. to erase and eradicate all previous 'wrongs'#it absolutely has a morality complex about it and a violent self-hatred.#but all of these things are directly informed by its trauma. all of these things are a direct response to the trauma.#mani is meant to protect moe.#and it did! it... did.#and moe just has to live w the aftermath.#mani tag#moe tag#my art

ngl every time i see the "cis" in michael's bio it feels. Wrong. like i see it and i go "i'm probably gonna non conform his gender one of these days"
#the problem i think is i don't know exactly in what way HE'S JUST. HE'S GENDER.#and i know not everything necessarily needs to be put in labels but for the sake of a character bio. It Kinda Does to a certain degree KJDF#i support the transmasc swag michaels the vibes are certainly there but i don't think that's the route mine is going down#MORE SO JUST. that rotting corpse is gnc af. all attachments to being amab are rooted in societal ideas (bc he DOES especially pre 83 get#caught up in seeming 'like a man' or tougher he did try to project an image reflecting his father (who was also constantly putting up walls#and masks whatever you think they may be but i digress) he will be initially hesitant (*cough* closeted) to experiment with gender roles)#but when you pull that back he honestly couldn't give a fuck less! he doesn't think about it all that much!#and yeah that's just. That's What Gender Is. Societal. but look i get VIBES.#or maybe i'm just nonbinary and desperately want to steal his look. who knows really KDFSHJGFHDJK#⁂ ・゚: i was looking for a job‚ and then i found a job‚ and heaven knows i’m miserable now ➛ ooc
