god the way eramis is written is so fucking funny

everyone going out of their way to be fair to her, zavala went and explained how she’d get a fair trial, they’re not gonna kill her, they got her a therapist, and girl’s sitting in her corner fuming like it’s “objective: survive”

todoroki: midoriya, to get in touch with my fire half of my quirk, i have started watching famous media with fire quirks in them.

midoriya: oh thats good! what have you watched?

todoroki: i was about to say. i have a question

todoroki:

todoroki: am i a stereotype?

i do really like this take, and i want to add on to it a bit. in the expanded universe - which despite being noncanon keeps becoming canon, like with thrawn - there is considerably more nuance to the whole force-sensitive vs non-force sensitive issue.

in fact, it’s better to describe it as “non force user vs force sensitive vs force user”, because being force sensitive and being a force user are actually different things. all force users are force sensitive but not all force sensitives can actually use it.

theres a character in the junior jedi knights series who sneaks into luke’s new jedi training area, but the whole thing is that he isn’t a jedi. he can’t be. he can’t use the force to move a leaf. BUT he has better reflexes, more reliable/accurate/better instincts, and if i’m remembering right can even sense the force being used.

admittedly, i don’t really expect this sort of nuance, but i think it would be a very interesting aspect of legends to bring into canon. and of course it would make your take even more interesting. i mean: she’d be so close. she’d be able to sense ahsoka using the force, make some level of progress in lightsaber training beyond just swordfighting without the force. but she can’t use it. it can’t happen, she can use the lightsaber all she wants and spend hours trying to move a cup but it is never going to happen. she’d always be an inch away from being a jedi, which is perhaps worse than not being force sensitive at all.

So, regarding the supposed hints to Sabine’s Force-sensitivity in the trailer: my two cents is that she’s not, but that she wants to be.

If Sabine were Force-sensitive, I think she would have discovered it during Trials of the Darksaber. Force-sensitivity isn’t easy to hide; I doubt she could have lived with two Jedi and all their weird Force shenanigans for half a decade and not figured that out. Adding it in now wouldn’t make sense, and it would kind of be a disservice both to Kanan and Ezra’s stories and her own.

Instead, I think she calls Ahsoka “master” because she continued learning about wielding a lightsaber from her. Through that, I imagine she got to feel closer to Kanan and Ezra, and I think as time went on, she probably started yearning to wield Ezra’s lightsaber in the way he did, and Kanan did, because she’s so desperate to feel connected to them again. When she raises her hand in the trailer to call to the Force, I’m betting it’s just out of desperation to see that wish fulfilled, and when Shin tells her she doesn’t have any power, I think that means she failed.

One of my favorite details of the Guardian drama-verse is that Shen Wei's definitive color in the present (outside of being the Envoy) is blue because that was Kunlun's definitive color 10,000 years ago. And 10,000 years later they've switched that color they each wear. (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )づ♡

cute idea but hero!chizome grappling with a hopeless crush on all might’s daughter figure (jus a chick he took under his wing izuku style)

like UGH. he’s such an old-school gentleman FUCK. he sends flower bouquets with your favorite flowers and like a 4 page letter with the most beautiful and eloquent language used to talk about how in love he is, and he talks like he’s fucking dying. exhibit a;

“i would lay myself at your alter, goddess, my insides laid out for your tasting, your pleasure— please eat of my flesh, consume me whole and let me feel accomplished as a simple, filling meal for you.

oh i beg of you, let my soul forever intertwine with yours, let me feels the silk of your skin, the heat of your breathe, plunge your hand into my heart and cherish it. sink your teeth into my neck and devour me.

i yearn for you, lovely thing. warmly, obsessively, lovingly, carnally, i can only hope you pity my foolish desires— my insane ramblings of fanatic and desperate attempts to gain your affections. please, please by the grace of all that is just and fair, let me worship you. let me treat you as you want to be.

i pray to no god but that of your body, of your mind, of your soul. there is no religion outside of your teachings, my muse. your word is my law, my written oath, music in the grand hall, the rain, the air, the existence of love. i would sooner accept death and the failure of my life’s work than to even acknowledge the existence of beauty that shines brighter than yours.

i beg of you, let my lowly hands hold you, let my soiled and ugly form touch and feel you, let me court you, my fair woman.

let me love you.”

omfg and he’s so petty. randoms in the street and fellow heroes flirting with you? he’s sighing and scoffing dramatically before completing dissecting their speech patterns, body posture, heroing skills, physical appearance, literally anything he can to make them leave you two alone

i feel like he doesn’t care abt how he looks (i mean duh no nose.) but the second you mention liking muscles he’s suddenly finding excuses to flex and stretch around you non stop, he’s doubling up his workout routine and bulking like a MOTHER FUCKER to see if you’re staring yet.

AAAHHH idk i just love chizome and need him insanely badly.

sidgeno and mcdrai. and by that i mean a canadian prodigy hailed as a generational talent, made captain of their team at 19 with a collected temperament and polite manner, alongside their sassy european alternate captain who is just slightly older and to whom they are attached at the hip, and with whom they have said they want to play together with forever…

Sketchbook Friday #23

Alternate Title: OH GOD HE’S GOT ME SOMEONE HELP M

Alright so it’s been over a year since I posted one of these (HOW) but I have been trying to draw regularly again so here we go

Vehicon practice for an upcoming AU sketch :)

Read through almost the entirety of IDW and I cannot stress enough how fast I’d die for Nickel if she asked me to

And speaking of IDW

GET HIM OUT OF MY BRAIN OH MY GODD

IT’S OVERLORD HOUR 24/7 MAKE HIM STOP

i am making my own ii human names list, but very slowly, because i am pedantic. also, i will not be counting mephone creating them as canon. ive had these ethnicity and family hcs for ages, and i will base my names on them. now, here are the two most important names.

OJ: Olivier-Jean "OJ" Jacques Silveira. my oj interpretation/gijinka is brazilian (paternal side) and ivorian (maternal side). his last name comes from his father and is brazilian portuguese. his first name and middle name were given by his mother, as many people in côte d'ivoire speak french (french colonization —> it's the official language now but there's MANY others accompanying it). a lot of people who speak french like to use "jean" in hyphenated names (trust me ive met a bajillion of them), so i included it. i think his name sounds quite classy.

oj was born and raised in america, speaking english at school and french at home. as well as some portuguese, but he never actually learned it. i think he would become quite pissy when kids at school would pronounce his name incorrectly (Olivier-Jean is... very not intuitive to english speakers. i believe they would say it like Oliver-Jeen) so they ended up using oj as shorthand. and he was fine with that, so it stuck. but at home he's Olivier and Olivier-Jean. he tells new people he meets to call him oj just because it's consistent and because he doesn't like the sound of his real name being mispronounced. coming from someone who constantly gets her real names mispronounced.

Paper: Paige Hsu (foreign name) and 许佩妍 / Xǔ Pèiyán (original name). my paper interpretation/gijinka is han taiwanese, so fully of han chinese descent. more specifically, hoklo (chosen because i hc he can speak mandarin AND hokkien). his family immigrated to taiwan from fujian (province in china with hoklo ancestry) post ww2. Xǔ is a particularly common surname in fujian, so i chose it for him. be gentle with me if i messed up with his given name LOL i know much less about chinese than french (but DO inform me if you know more about it and spot any mistakes!). Pèiyán means, in a way, beautiful garment. to wear something beautiful. to be adorned. etc. it's partially based on trying to make it seem a bit like the name "Paige", partially based on what i think his mother might name him (no real hopes or dreams for him so it's a little shallow), partially based on him as i know him (focused on presenting himself). it's also, as far as i know, a name mostly used for women. note that my interpretation of paper is usually a trans man.

now, Paige is unisex, it sounds like page, and it's a loved one of mine's favourite name for him, so i like it. i also think it makes sense for when he immigrated to canada with his mother as something they chose, and something he can still keep (being conveniently unisex). Hsu is one of the taiwanese romanizations for Xǔ. im not sure if he'd take on oj's last name. perhaps he'd hyphenate them. he's not particularly attached to his family, but Paige Hsu is quite a pretty name.

bonus: nickel is named Nikola Stević. this one was easy because my interpretation of nickel is kosovar serb. last names come from the father but the exact practice of it is a bit outdated so Stević is likely from his grandfather or great-grandfather (unless im misremembering how it works). i don't like the name Nicholas his name is Nikola. Nicholas sounds like a sweet little boy Nikola sounds like a menace. i see Nicholas everywhere start calling your nickel Nikola

i just had a dream where i painted this moisthur art piece but it was in the style of those ancient greek paintings you see. and in the painting arthur was essentially cannibalising moist (canon (sorry)) and then i presented my pride and joy to you and you were all like “wow yk this changes all of my opinions on everything! moisture should 100% be canon now” and yk so you like casually hit up your besties harlan and terry pratchett because of course youd just casually be friends with both harlan and terry pratchett and got them to agree to make a crossover episode that would kinda be like the non-canon Christmas special but instead of christmas it was moisthur

i felt this was really important to share this dream i just had with you

that’s insane, I wish I had enough influence to convince Harlan and the ghost of Terry Pratchett to agree to make such a masterpiece of a train wreck

egg talks

i don’t want to be so swollen i’m uncomfortable i want to be just swollen enough it’s obvious somethings in there. i want to look bloated. i want to look squirmy. i want my tummy pouch just a bit bigger than normal. i want to walk around with eggs shoved in me for a day with just the goal of keeping them in.

wake up and get filled and then do a set number of tasks before a shower where i’m allowed to do whatever i want, keep them in or let them out or just jerk off and see what the spasming does. let my body decide.

stupid stupid stupid

NIGHT//DAY

[tomatoats]

it’s not a x.0 HSR patch without some lesbians.

You already KNOW they debate over research and philosophy like the stem majors they are and make out about it afterward like they’ve definitely had some sesbian lex in the space station

[cloud-kisser]

if i had a nickel for every time an artist that i began following on an even number year decided to make the art they wanted to make instead of what they felt they were expected to, leaning towards a more dark emo gore nsfw graphic style, i’d have two nickels

which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

[eveningscoolandquiet]

the Venn diagram for traits of Julian from the Arcana and Viktor from Arcane is so close to being a circle at this point. Slavic-coded scientist who develops magical healing powers in their adulthood after the death of someone close to them and their own near-death experience. Oh and said healing powers are intrinsically connected to a loss of self. Also they both have homoerotic relationships with their coworkers. The biggest difference is Viktor ghosts, Julian gets ghosted 😭

[puck-luck]

....all hughes bros get ejected in the weirdest coincidence ever challenge👀

[autistic-lesbianism]

If I had a nickel for every time someone trusted someone they believed was a ‘higher being/god.’ I’d have 3 nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened trice..

(Thank you to @amylaine for reminding me of the Sammy & Bendy one)
