The more the show progresses, the more I want to see the 90s cast infiltrating the modern timeline. We've gotten hints of it with Shauna and her younger self, her Jackie hauntings. We've gotten a little more with adult Lottie seeing teenage Nat (and Laura Lee), and with Natalie getting teenage Lottie in her final moments. I want more. I want the teen cast to be absolutely invasive on pivotal adult moments, infecting their adult counterparts when least expected. I want Taissa's argument with Van to dissolve into their teenage selves, their bond endless and timeless and inescapable. I want Misty absolutely wrecked by young Natalie lurking around corners, watching from mirrors. I want to see these women unable to navigate adulthood without the specters of their teenage selves cropping up absolutely everywhere, more and more as they let the memories in, as they stop being able to repress the trauma. They didn't grow up. They never could. You are always doomed to regress around your high school teammates. You are haunted by the phantom elements of your misspent youth. It is a comfort, and it is a gift, and it is a trial, and it is a curse. I would love to see that reflected with greater intensity, until the lines blur, until the timelines have no choice but to intersect. They haven't escaped themselves at all. They didn't grow up. They just got older.
#yellowjackets#yj meta#yj theories#i love the moments of younger cast popping up in the modern timeline so fucking much#i am truly obsessed with the idea that they look at one another and they see the girls from the woods#they don't see the adult versions at all. they don't see adults in the mirror either#the older i get the more i feel like i'm 10 or 15 or 20 in a body that keeps outwardly aging#and if that's going to hit anybody it's going to be these people who have never been able to leave the hell of their adolescence behind#give me hewson and savoy brown popping up in the middle of a taivan fight (or makeout. i ain't picky).#give me thatcher continuing to appear to lottie and to misty in moments of duress#give me nelisse staring shauna down as she tries to backpedal into suburbia#haunt! these! women! haunt them GOOD#(also outside of narrative purposes it would be so fun to see the dual roles intersect. actors playing the same character getting#to play together. scenes where they blend. it would be satisfying in so many ways. i yearn.)

Okay we all agree that Edwin not understanding modern references is funny and awesome and please keep it up if when we get a season 2. But. I have a request. Make Charles also not know some modern stuff. Dude died in the 80s. No matter how up-to-date he’s tried to stay, I’m certain he’s missed some stuff. And I think seeing Crystal trying to explain some modern shit to both Charles and Edwin while they share their usual look of “wtf?” would be pure comedy to see on screen.
#Edwin: Crystal what is the modern meaning of… *checks notes* tiktok?#Charles: wait what? never heard of that either.#Crystal: okay short version: an internet thing. long version: you might wanna sit down cause this is gonna take a while#dead boy detectives#edwin payne#charles rowland#crystal palace

this is a genuinely vulnerable, touching, and emotionally powerful moment of seeking out connection from jason to dick until you remember that being "all back to normal" refers to when jason got digested by an alien, trapped in a goo egg, and then turned into a tentacle monster that ate people
#razpost#dc#jason#jason todd#red hood#dick grayson#he got better though don't worry#you ever think some modern version of dick or jason brings that up. i have to wonder#'yeah maybe i did get really edgy for awhile but ya know i never turned into a tentacle alien and ate a criminal unlike SOME people'#'wh - '#'IT WAS /ONE/ TIME'#that is the biggest reason i love brothers in blood though it has such a strangely sympathetic view of jason todd as a character -#- for his place as a rogue murderous villain at the time (and unique in a way that utrh only very subtly touches on)#someone seeking emotional connection and to grasp at past relationships but having no idea how to go about it#a toughened criminal on the outside but still really a scared kid reeling from his death and feelings of abandonment#the fucking. 'i'm scared dick' set of three panels drives me absolutely insane it's so fascinating and resonant to write him like post-utrh#i'm just rambling now i really like this freaky little 2005 arc is what i'm saying

So, how about the Thousand Year Door remaster going by the game's Japanese translation, thereby confirming Vivian is canonically a trans woman?
This was such an exciting revelation to me personally that I decided to draw fanart of Vivian repping her trans pride... alongside a certain Koopa I haven't drawn in a little while! 💙🏳️⚧️💜
#⭐ Star's Art ⭐#Micah Koopa#Vivian Paper Mario#Vivian TTYD#Paper Mario#Paper Mario TTYD#The Thousand Year Door#Super Mario#Koopsona#Medibang Paint Pro#Coolness#Honestly? I never thought I'd live to see the day Nintendo include a transfeminine character in one of their games#Like yeah I understand that's how it's always been in the Japanese version but like#They could have just as easily copy-pasted the entire script of the English localization and called it a day#So the fact that they reverted the erasure of Vivian's trans identity for the remaster is... admirable actually#I own the original TTYD and have it... someplace. I never got very far so I don't necessarily have an attachment to Vivian#Though I can 100% see that changing with the remaster's ease of access— you just KNOW I had to draw something to celebrate!#Sometime soon I'd like to do a modern two-frame idle for Micah Koopa alongside Mario himself#Seeing as I have a sprite animation of her drawn in the style of Paper Mario on the N64#I'm basically just looking for excuses to draw her at this point.#Did you know that she has a butch Hammer Bro girlfriend? Once I finalize her design you may get to see her too... 👀

💞 Can you guess who my favorite Jellystone character is? 💞
#⭐ Star's Self-Ship Art ⭐#F/O#Romantic F/O#F/O Community#Self-Ship Community#F/O Art#Self Ship Art#Jellystone#「Cindy Bear: You Know The Way To My Heart」#🤍🤎💙#Another obsession... another deeply adored F/O!!!#Shoutout to my dear friend Kel for suggesting I watch Jellystone— if not for him I would have never caught sight of...#(The most over-exaggerated dreamy sigh you can possibly imagine) Cindy Bear... 💖💖💖💖💖#I'm almost surprised that Cindy's a somewhat less popular character here on tumblr. There's not a ton of art of her#So I thought I'd chip in and whip up a quick mouse-drawn doodle of her to study Jellystone's artstyle...#... and honestly for my first go at both the style and drawing Cindy I think I did pretty great!#I do— unsurprisingly— have a Jellystone self-insert planned and I'm really excited to design her#I'm gonna go full Hanna Barbera mode. Gonna design a 60s version of her as well as a more modern version#And as soon as I do that... I will show both the self-shipping circle of tumblr as well as the Jellystone community the ultimate OTP...#💖💖💖💖💖 J U L I N D Y ! ! ! ! ! 💖💖💖💖💖

Something something Azulon as Patrick Bateman
#atla#Azulon#fire lord azulon#avatar the last airbender#American psycho ref#I’ve already posted my version of modern au azulon so might as well#I haven’t watched American psycho btw and I prob never will but I just thought it would be cool#also Patrick Bateman also seems to have that self-absorbed psychotic mentality that my interpretation of azulon truly embodies

George: I'm tellin' you, this is a whole new world for us. New stuff, new era; it's a fresh start. Percy: Then why the fuck are we having the same stupid conversations? George: Just think, you know how people say, "If I knew then what I knew now?" Well, that person is you, and you already know it. And the "then" is right now. Percy: (soft amusement) What?
(AN: this is their dynamic post-DH, lmao. all they do is to stand around and talk. XD)
#incorrect hp quotes#source: red vs blue#percy weasley#george weasley#lets face it#their dynamic is very grif and simmons#except it's the brother version of it#percy is the smart one and george is the funny one#all they did for the whole “year after the war” was to stand around and talk#sometimes deep stuff but mostly idiotic stuff#percy introduced george to modern muggle things like movies and the internet#the weasleys has never known peace since then#percy helps george coming back to himself...with muggle pop culture

“The curious thing about legends is the way we can continue to be moved by the same stories. We’re comforted by familiar tales of friendship, courage, redemption. At times, the path of the hero might seem unclear, and the stories chaotic and directionless. Sometimes it may seem as though we’ve ended back where we began, but it’s clear to see how much we’ve grown on the journey—for although the story is over, there’s always room on the shelf for another.”
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)

Something I always wonder with the whole: "The lazy populous doesn't want to work!" is if it's only being said to keep minimum wage at the very, very lowest end of 'survivability.'
The "lazy worker" isn't truly a problem. The employers are.
#politics#this is my old man conspiracy theory#it's insane when you actually start job searching and you apply fucking Everywhere and it's crickets#job announcement: no experience required! we'll train you! you're actually PERFECTLY qualified#you apply and then NOTHING. and then you listen to the news or other people#and they complain about how 'lazy' the modern worker is and how employers are DESPERATE for people to work for them...#...and you'll end up knowing better if you haven't soaked up the individualist corporate shill propaganda i think...#...that propaganda (at least in the US) is the idea that the individual worker is always at fault...#...that if they never get a job - even 'entry-level' - that it is THEIR fault...#...if you don't want to work minimum wage get a maximun-effort job!!!!!...#...if you want to Get Hired then make yourself Hireable!!!!!!!!!...#...you must be Indispensable (but potentially for $7.25/hour)!!! it is Up To You!!!...#...make records! never ask for anything! never complain! never dare bite the corporate hand which feeds you!!!!!!!!#that's the type of shit i grew up with at least. and i cannot buy that it isn't propaganda in a world hostile to any layman#i wonder if the romanticized version of the 60s-70s working class in the US is completely true as well...#...i just wonder if we are idealizing a past which never truly occurred for the worker...#...simply because these tactics Aren't New and Aren't Considered Morally Reprehensible because of the Bottom Line#this last part is tangentially-related but i always question whenever people have rose-colored views of The Past

Sad Headcanon Time!
Sonic doesn't like being around Gemerl.
It's nothing Gemerl did, really. Sonic's remarkably good at forgiving people that tried to kill him. Their eight or so fights over the course of the First Shattered World Crisis aren't really anything to hold grudges over.
But that's his kid. Except not. He found that robot on a beach and raised them himself. And then they died in his arms, asking him whether they should be glad that they were born. Whether their life was something to regret.
On some level, he knows that Gemerl doesn't have anything in them that's Emerl. Emerl's body crumbled to ash in his hands, and Eggman built copies of the design before. Gemerl is obviously just a refined version of the E-121 designs. But they're still painted in Eggman's colour scheme, they still have Eggman's mockery of Emerl's name. He visits Cream and sees this shadow of what he once loved, more robotic than Emerl ever was. It doesn't bother Cream. Why does it bother him so much?
(He still has the Emerald that was all that remained of Emerl. If he convinced Tails to install it in Gemerl's chassis, would it bring Emerl back? Is that even a good idea?)
So he stays away whenever he can.
Sage asks him to look after her 'father' when she goes. The angry, vicious, vindictive part of him, the part that only ever came out he was Darkspine Sonic, wants to spit back that Eggman offered only further torment when he killed Sonic's kid, why does he deserve anything besides scorn? He stomps it down. It won't help anyone if he lets it out.
(Sage comes back, of course. Like she never left, Eggman pushes a few buttons and he gets her back. Of course he gets the get-out clause. Gaias forbid Eggman experience consequences.)
#This isn't the most coherent thing#For one it's based on the modern IDW version of Gemerl rather than Archie or the pre-IDW fanon I normally lean on with them#But also Sonic caring this much about his dead robot kid is kinda incompatible with Flynn-era Sonic material#With its endlessly forgiving Sonic and wholesome dad Eggman#But overall I view Sonic as someone who buries all of his anger and grief and pain under a smiley facade and bad jokes#He never lets it surface#And when it *does* it's not pretty#At all#Like this Sonic would not be smugly lecturing anyone about how his morality is better#He'd defend Mr. Tinker because of his amnesia and *only* that#And even then he'd be tempted.#Sonic#Sonic the Hedgehog#Gemerl#Gemerl the Gizoid#Emerl#Emerl the Gizoid

Are there notable angels/demons in the File Recovery universe based on works such as the Ars Goeta or the Shem Ha-Mephorash? If so, what are they?
I've taken some light inspiration from the Ars Goeta (Stolforns name is really just a combination of Stolas+Forneus) and Dantes Inferno but have mostly strayed from mentioning specific demon names/locations and themes in other works.
Well I guess besides the Bible- again File Recovery is based round a lot of complex religious thoughts I had going to catholic school/church as a kid so I consider it impossible for me to not to take influence from the old and new testament, the seven virtues, saints, confirmation, communion etc... idk I just want more religious fantasy stories that aren't all about converting people or modern day politics
#ask#anon#also the fact that the majority of modern religious based stories kinda suck major ass and never really...dares to be anything interesting#like the best thing that would happen in bible class is when they let us watch prince of egypt#or when they read to us a kiddie version of the pilgrims progress#and i just thought the worldbuilding was the coolest thing as 5th grader#course the narnia books too were like everywhere in school but my faves were the latter books where everything just goes horribly wrong#response#sorry i rambled
