No, I’m never having kids. I’m just gonna have fun.

Before we begin, damn the A R M S 😍. Victoria is acting up (she’s bored according to Katie), spilling a drink on Robert which starts a rant about him never having kids (sure, Rob). In the pub, Robert is one of the gossiping about the Alan/Steph debacle that just went down.

A Wild Battinson (Social Media AU)

Part 43 (Masterlist)

(Part 44)

Me, to myself: I just think the series was better when I posted several times a week because the pacing felt more natural, and it translates better when people binge it.

Also Me, holding two jobs and a bat: If you try to post once a day again, I will disconnect your head from your shoulders—

@bruciemilf guess who’s back

Anyways, folks! :D So I'm thinking of a new upload schedule where I spend a bit preparing the next ten or so parts then post it all in two weeks? I think that would be fun (and much better for my creative process.)

I’ll be posting the next part very soon :) But it's going to be drastically different from what I've done before. Let’s see if anyone can guess why.

Yada yada don’t die LOVE Y’ALL

Whenever someone tries to make a point about something the Konoha kunoichis, I need to make a pause and remind them how out of character they were in some of those moments.

Kishimoto pretty much abandoned Sakura and Ino's friendship and then tried to bring it back during the War arc. Ino lost her sensei and then her dad, and when was Sakura? You mean to tell me she wouldn't care? About any of it? Or when Sasuke was declared to be killed, do you mean to tell me that Ino wouldn't have run to find Sakura?

The way Hinata was written on Shippuden???? Naruto aside, people forget that Hinata refused to give up during the Chunning Exams and forced Neji to almost kill her if he wanted the victory. She was stubborn, she was prideful too, she had more going on than simply a crush on Naruto. She was told by her father she was a failure and yet she didn't give up on becoming a kunoichi, did she?

Then why is that Shippuden wrote her like her sole ambition was Naruto, hm?

And Tenten? She was MEAN when she wanted to be because she was highly competitive. We know that she wanted to train under Tsunade, so where did the death of that dream take her? She's such a powerful kunoichi and yet we know so little about her personality, her life...

We got "Ino and Hinata know some medic min techniques" in the most random way possible... We know Sakura would walk around with Hinata even, so what about their girl bonding moments during the genin to Shippuden years?

It made me so angry whenever the girls treated each other like strangers in Shippuden. So many stupid situations made to highly their teammates even if I meant to write the girls out of character...

i think dead boy detectives would have really suited a longer season format

sasuke being painted as The possessive one of the relationship when that’s not shown in canon and people mostly use panels out of context (i saw “my one and only” or “i know your heart and you mine” being used to prove him being possessive which is ???) but somehow naruto that actually has moments he shows to be possessive are not counted. but like even without them, if you analyzed their relationship you would realize it does make the most sense for naruto to be like that unlike sasuke. because naruto has abandonment issues already with sasuke, sasuke did left him and cut him off once and left naruto really traumatized (even if it’s not sasuke’s fault, it’s still one of the biggest sources of naruto’s pain) so him being scared sasuke could leave him again and the urge to keep him makes complete sense. on the other hand, sasuke has never felt that loss, naruto has constantly chased and picked him over everyone including his own goals over and over. and his fears about love turning into grief if he lost naruto are quite literally shattered by naruto himself in vote2.

[ink-the-artist]

Hi ! I love your art and took inspiration from you to do the front page of my notebook for my theater lessons !

I unfortunately had to do it on the paper from the notebook directly instead of drawing paper so I'm a little disappointed with the results but I like what I did when I was figuring it out, on the drawing paper (and also on tracing paper for some reason ?)

Overall I'm so happy I could kind of replicate your technique for the light while using cheap wax pencils (stinginess wins 💪)

Anyway, thank you for posting your art it altered my brain chemistry 👍

YEAAAAAÁHÆHHHHH WOOO THE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!

[homielander]

on homelander and ryan

well first let me just say that the confrontation with bonnie and adam filled me with unspeakable dread. exploitation of inequitable power dynamics in the workplace at the expense of a female subordinate... yeah, surely that won't come up later! 😃 but i tried to ignore that context so i could enjoy them sipping sinisterly on their chocolate milkshakes which was very fun

anyway. i really enjoyed the homelander and ryan scenes in this episode because it finally felt like we were watching two people who had been living together for a few months... there was a real ease and familiarity to their interactions. (their scenes from eps 1-3 were a bit expository for my taste, i guess.) and i loved that there was no dramatic acknowledgement of homelander's breakdown in their last scene together (even though an apology would have been warranted on homelander's end) because sometimes that's just the way things go. their conspiratorial rapport during the bonnie and adam bit was also kind of adorable, sorry. homelander is being as corny as ever and ryan actually entertains it because he loves his lame dad!!!

i was so gratified seeing homelander ask ryan what he wants... everyone jumped on him for saying "i've given you everything that i ever wanted!" in 4.03 but if you were horrifically abused as a child and then had to care for a child of your own, ensuring said child has everything you longed for is a pretty important consideration (which extends to the freedom to make one's own choices, as we see here. we just needed to give him a minute he was literally working on it!)

the other element to asking ryan what he wants is that homelander doesn't know what to do with this newfound freedom either. yes, he did say at the onset of the season that his goal is to leave behind a world that is "pure" and "cleansed" (supe-led) for ryan, so that ryan never feels the need to bend to public opinion or corporate interests. but what does homelander want for himself now that he's free from the constraints of seeking public adoration??? he has no idea, so he gets his son to choose for him instead. and in a very real sense, "cleansing" the world for ryan is healing for him too, because they are one entity... i love codependence

that doesn't mean homelander doesn't put his own disturbing twist on ryan's wish to "help people". ryan's enjoyment admittedly felt pretty jarring but my take on it is that bonnie's immediate readiness to slap that director made him feel as if he was empowering someone. that's what he wants! while homelander is just glad that a human (it helps that it's the annoying guy who works for him) is experiencing pain. homelander is no longer motivated by winning anyone's approval either so there's even less overlap with ryan's genuine desire to save others. i imagine that this disconnect will come to a head soon... excited to see where things go next!

Personally I'm really happy with the decision to introduce original human villains to the SCU.

I understand a lot of people don't like it when they deviate from game stuff, but the series is already infamous for having almost no reocurring villains besides Eggman. And this is more than just an adaptation, it's a proper pillar of the Sonic franchise that can tell it's own stories and introduce its own characters.

MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT (2022)

when they ask you how you are and you have to say you’re fine when you’re not really fine but you just can’t get into it because they would never understand—

[hyperfixations-and-hecticness]

ah yum yum my final jacebaela crumbs to sustain me for the long winter (two years wait before The Tragedies that inevitably await within hours of television)

[daigah]

The use of they/them from all the agents for Valorants new agent makes me hopeful for a non binary character but really they're just probably keeping the gender vague for the reveal 😔

[strawglicks]

i can feel myself drifting from the TTCC community .. like i still love the characters and their dynamics, but ive been thinking less about toontown as a whole and just some of the characters are lingering . this usually happens towards the end of my obsessions

plus i just dont feel in touch with the community LOL i just kinda stick to my own stuff and sometimes like the art and stories ppl make .. but im in this awkward spot right now where im MENTALLY not engaging as much. idk if this is anything

[boatemboys]

its my first day at being a person i hope they dont realise im not

[cmentary-drive]

Okay so about the lore drop 😇😇😇

[wof-reworked]

FINALLY. FINALLY. people telling Qibli they love him and see the best in him does not make him a mary sue oh my god.

I've been hella personal this whole time but like to go a little deeper- that book genuinely brought me to sobbing tears the first time I read it at 16 because it was the first time I've seen a character with the same kind of hyperviligant anxiety and fawning be told they're loved and can be a good person/hero. It doesn't make him a mary sue for the book to focus on how he needs to learn how to get out of his own head and recognize that other people like him. I mean for gods sake the whole middle of the book is them getting mad at him for summoning a sandstorm I would hardly say you're supposed to view him as some untouchable hero when his strength has always been reading people and situations and not fighting/magic and the book about him puts an emphasis on those skills and where he also falls flat.

I don't think you all actually want found family if you think characters being accepted by their friends is like. bad writing. I don't know what you want but I don't think found family is it.
