#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#WWX's main weapon as the Yiling patriarch is considered to be 'Wen Ning' - which makes sense as far as the whole necromancer thing goes.#However...That *is* Wen Qing's beloved baby brother!#In her perspective WWX skipped town for a few days (or so) and took WN with him#only for them both to show up bloodied and in a state of disarray.#There's no way he told her he was going out to duel Jiang Cheng. For several reasons.#He doesn't want to involve her in his messes anymore than he already has.#It's less that she would try and stop him and more so that he honestly wouldn't even think to say something about it to her.#WQ and him aren't partners in this situation. He actually openly disregards her opinions several times.#Wei Wuxian's emotional distance from everyone around him is a big part of this arc.#Like all good tragedies...his biggest flaw is his hubris. He doesn't *need* anyone when he's so capable on his own.#He doesn't need to ask permission when obviously this is the only way forwards.#He has to do it all on his own! No one else needs to be involved!#And if you've been in the position of realizing you have a problem of toxic self-reliance - you know how harmful this mindset is.#It's why it's so satisfying to see WWX in his 'new' life start to let other's share his burdens.#I will die on the hill of 'love means carrying each other's weight. All a burden means is that I can give you support and you support me.'#YLLZ is less 'competent and sexy' and more 'depressed and can't see it'.#Another lovely nod to the main theme here is how he starts leaning more and more into the rumours about him.#Though we are also still confronted with how these rumours fail to actually live up to reality.#Rumour has it the Yiling Patriarch is undefeatable. What a shame if that rumour turned out to be untrue!

anyway what I'm saying is BISEXUAL Icarus who in his mortal life fell (quite literally) for the splendor of Apollo in his chariot, and in his death falls in love with the princess of the Underworld, who also shines in her own way
#both of them are gods. and icarus was a mere mortal. and then he was a mere shade#but his story is about hubris for a reason!!!#look I know this might not very accurate to what actually happened in his tale. but let me have this#he learnt from his life and is a better person in death. but deep. very deep inside he still Wants so baddddd#i think it'd be so cool. that against all hopes he likes to think he has a chance (he does btw sgg i need melinoe to kiss him)#oh and also bisexuality be upon ye icarus#hades 2 spoilers#hades 2#waxwitch#icamel

#columbo#season 5#last salute to the commodore#my hc is that columbo has needed reading glasses since age 40 and he refuses to admit it until he's like 60#it's a mixture of vanity and hubris. he knows it's irrational. but goddamn it those are for old men and he's not one of those yet#he has them in the reboot because he's accepted his Old Man status

Anyway returning to Lore Stuff but: feels really likely The Crush was due to Ludinus's attempt to contact Ruidus in the late 500s, which is what led to the fall of Molaesmyr. I wonder if he even realized until centuries later, since I don't think he was able to communicate with Ruidus until he started working with Ruidusborn which feels comparatively recent. Imagine unwittingly setting into motion a natural disaster that permitted the final stages of complete imperial takeover on an entirely different celestial body and then finding out 200-odd years later that this is extremely beneficial to your lifelong dreams.
#i really do understand the depths of his hubris because he keeps...not failing upward he is too smart to fail#but he keeps stabbing in the dark and hitting precisely the right thing. i do wonder if he orchestrated the eve of crimson midnight#timeline gets a bit wonky there due to Writers Doing Math#or if he was just a clever opportunist#critical role spoilers#critical role#we really need to get more info about ludinus like. the choice to fixate on ruidus is in fact brilliant.#he could have taught liliana or two a thing given that he basically saw priests saying RUN and was like. bet.#but like...his notes in molaesmyr don't mention the people on the moon#just a sealed alien entity. did he know? did he think the moon was only a prison?#we ALSO need the actual history of ruidus. can chet just. touch the ground. can fcg cast legend lore

how i feel when people still, after playing this game, think bringing down the veil should have been an option and would have been the right thing to do
#i’m not fucking around.#if there’s one thesis of this game it is that in all of varric and solas’ arguments in dai varric was correct.#you need to learn to move on from your regrets or you will fall to ruin and bring others down with you. Varric knows this firsthand.#in the end the spirit of wisdom twisted to pride with a god’s hubris would have destroyed so so many lives - and did#if the events of veilguard are to he set at his feet which i think they can be#the wisdom of the dwarf - the child of dreamless titans - shut off from what magic his people had - the simple storyteller#and Liver of a Full Life in this World!!! HE is the wiser in the end#because while he lives with his share of regret and even responsibility for the disasters befallen the world#he can forgive himself. He has to.#varric tethras#dragon age#da4#datv#dragon age the veilguard#dai#solas#the dread wolf

i’m trying to catch up with as much dimension 20 as i can before fantasy high junior year, i’m currently on a starstruck odyssey, and can i just say: there is truly no greater example of ally beardsley’s dnd progress than the parallel of ally as kristen applebees willingly taking 36 points of damage, bringing kristen down to 3 hit points as kristen plummets multiple stories due to a failed attempt to use a ribbon dance as a way to fly down 10 stories, and ally as margaret encino willingly taking 11 points of damage, bringing margaret down to 3 hit points so margaret can fall 30 feet from a camera nest, walk up to a giant corn guy, and say “you suck” as all the intrepid heroes look on assuming this to be usual beardsley tomfoolery, only for margaret to walk away & trigger an attack of opportunity which gives murph as barry a chance to push this guy off a ledge & possibly win them the entire encounter & over 1 million credits. INSANE. ally beardsley i’m obsessed with your mind
#ally beardsley#fantasy high#kristen applebees#a starstruck odyssey#margaret encino#what is true joy if not ally beardsley saying ‘call to the guards’ & brennan shouting ‘NOOOOO’#just so funny god#ESPECIALLY because literally one minute earlier brennan was for real trying to goad beardsley into falling from the nest like#‘so did you get some temp kublacaine hp’ thinking he was using beardsley’s insatiable chaos in his favor LITTLE DID HE KNOW#‘statistically you would stay up’ THEY PLAYED HIM LIKE A FUCKING FIDDLE#OH THE HUBRIS#admittedly i haven’t watched nvaf yet but kristen pete margaret the beardsley big 3 to me#also this is unimportant but:#for the sake of my pride i do wanna clarify i was catching up w/ d20 before the fhjy announcement but it has sped up the process a shit ton#i need to understand all the inevitable references#& yea could i watch just the ih campaigns & be fine? probably. but do i emotionally need to watch things chronologically? YES#just have *checks notes* 7 campaigns to watch beforehand not including my planned fh&fhsy rewatch :)#also i literally took a little break from the episode to type this but aso has been INSANE so far especially these past 2 eps!#i’d heard reference of operation slippery puppet but had no idea what it was so i was like ‘omg’ when siobhan mentioned it and THEN#just so insane emily axford my beloved the scheming goes crazy#also also final thing sorry for ranting in the tags but GOD murph has been rollinh so fucking well in this fight BIG BARRY SYX I LOVE YOU#intrepid heroes i love you forever thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of dropout & of dnd actualplay#okay anyways back to the battle of the brands pt. 2 <3

bg3 fans showing their da leanings in how allergic they are to nuance 😔
#likeeeee can't y'all let your faves have some bad traits. seriously.#my fyp had some longass meta on how ga!e's folly isn't really a tale in hubris but in approval seeking#and that certainly is a component of his character fr#but are we really going to ignore the myriad of stories gale tells the pc about how someone tells him not to do something#and how he does it anyway?#and how in his youth he was spared poor outcomes either by luck or by the intervention of others#save for the uhhhh orb. which was a fafo situation#LIKE it irks me to no end that a character can't have flaws without fans needing to smooth them into something so woobifying#'it's a little hubris but REALLY he's a burnt out gifted kid like me 🥺🥺🥺 his need for validation is his WORST trait'#i just know that when interviewers ask them 'what's something you need to improve on' it's some ~im too hardworking~ shit 😔#sorry i will be sexualizing gale for his dual arrogance AND poor self-esteem

WHEN THE FIRST TRACES OF NIGHT start to leave the sky, Jedediah is nowhere near close enough to shelter and he knows it.
If you had asked him just few days ago to describe the museum he might've chose the word prison. It was home, too, sure it was; a home he couldn't ever leave, though. The place was plenty big enough for him but there was always something stifling, something claustrophobic about knowing that your entire existence was meant to be spent under just one roof. Unlike many of his counterparts Jedediah holds no memories of a life before awakening, no memory of seeing the stars for himself, and doggonnit, he'd wanted to.
It's only now, snatched away from the place, that he starts to wonder if maybe his judgment towards it was a little undeserving. It's a harsh truth to realize that the fresh air and open space and stars come with a hefty price tag: there ain't no roof out here, nothing to keep him from crumbling to dust when the first rays of sunlight hit in the morning the way he knows they're about to. Jed can't even be sure that particular little quirk of the tablet still holds true here, but he sure as heck isn't gonna stand around to find out.
( For one, Octavius wouldn't know what to do without him. )
It's a painful thing, swallowing his pride enough to run right on up to the first stranger he sees on the street, whistling and waving his hat in a demand for attention ( he tells himself that getting caught in the sun would be more painful; it only makes him feel slightly better about the whole thing ).
"Heyo, Stretch! Yeah, you!" He waves a hand in a get down here sort of gesture, but doesn't actually wait for the other to get any closer to eye level ( he don't got time for that ). "Give a cowpoke a lift, would ya? I'm runnin' outta time down here!"
#kanabiveil#kanabiveil — 01#|| IC.#the whole freedom thing means his hubris is getting to him but what else is to be expected of him u_u#let me know if you want anything changed or something new entirely !!#and ofc no need to match length i am just a yapper

I wonder why ppl interpret sonic not jumping at the chance to kill an enemy as him giving "second chances" to bad guys who don't deserve it like eggman
#ramblings#yes that includes writers who worked on actual sonic media#like ian flynn. i like his work but this is one thing that keeps bugging me abt the way he writes sonic in the comics#i'm glad it doesn't seem to be transferring to the games he's working on#since he's working even more directly with sega now#like idk maybe the literal teenager just doesn't wanna kill ppl even if they do horrible things#also it's fiction with an audience of mostly children like. you can't expect it to go that far#and yeah he has Technically killed someone before with erazor djinn#but he's immortal so like. he's technically not dead maybe. just can't hurt anyone anymore#like i don't think he'd care if someone like eggman died in on of their battles#but he's not going out of his way to murder him#and it's not like he's just letting him go most of the time either. eggman is just good at making a getaway#sonic isn't judge jury and executioner. i doubt he thinks it's his place to kill someone as punishment for their crimes#he'd rather let nature do it. or let them die from their own hubris#but him not going out of his way to kill his enemies doesn't mean he's giving them a second chance#and expecting them to turn over a new leaf then being shocked when they don't every single time#he knows better than that#i don't think it's that complicated#like 'not wanting to kill ppl as a literal kid' and 'not forgiving ppl for horrible crimes' are two ideas that can coexist i think#him not wanting to kill doesn't need to be justified as him giving second chances or whatever

“Damian isn’t ooc what are you talking aboutttt he’s only 14 and wants to trust his dad so badlyyyy guyssss don’t get upsettt” have you never read a comic with Damian in it in your life
#I FUCKING HATE TJISHDJDHF#WHAT IS GOING ON AM I INSANE???? AM I LOSING IT???#Damian trusting his dad despite BRUCE acting so out of character EVEN IF ITS TO PRAISE DAMIAN AND MAKE HIM FEEL SPECIAL#HAS HAPPENED BEFORE#AND HE HAS SPOTTED THAT SHIT AS STRANGE A MILE AWAY#AND HE WAS LIKE. 12. AT FOURTEEN WE’VE ESTABLISHED DAMIAN AS MORE OBSERVANT AND PREPARED FOR THIS#it can either be taken as retrofitting him into ‘normal’ developmental periods which again. we’ve established Damian has as the antithesis#or as a way to put down his character in the robin mantle in order to make Tim’s run look smart and perfect in comparison. which is gross.#Tim has been Robin and even moved past it and became even better and now we���re what? missing the good ol days?#Tim became Robin in 1989. NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE GUYS#THATS 35 YEARS AGO#I KNOW ITS NOSTALGIC FOR YOU BUT YOU HAD A LOT OF STUFF WITH HIM IN IT AND HES JUST A SMART LITTLE WHITE BOY#Damian became Robin in 2009 and we’ve barely tapped into his psychology because comics is so hot buttoned right now#that they don’t know which aspect to deal with first and foremost and always choose Bruce’s relationship as an easy out#Damian was Robin for barely 15 years and yet the guy that got DOUBLE his time is back for round 3. ok.#and here we are again.#Damian has proven himself to be so capable and smart his only downfall is his own hubris and inexperience#he has been trained SINCE BIRTH to use his head guys. a few years in America didnt take that out of him.#anyway. plz pick up a comic. damian would know better cause he’s not an average 14 y/o and he’s not just a traumatized little boy.#‘ohhhh he craves his dads attention and praise so much he’d believe anything he saiiiddd’ WHO TOLD YOU THAT??? ZDARSKY??#WHAT WAS ALL OF HIS YEAR OF PENANCE ON THAT ISLAND FOR#WHAT WAS HIS ARC WITH DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM HIS FATHER A BIT IN THE WAKE OF NEEDING SOME TIME TO HIS OWN REVELATIONS#WHAT ABOUT IT. DID IT JUST NOT HAPPEN SUDDENLY#whatever.

Okay I'll say it. Gale Dekarios is Caleb Widogast coded if Caleb hadn't developed past like episode 50.
#Not tagging for obvious reasons but#I'm right#No but he's fr just a Caleb copy. I've been calling him Galeb to be funny but it's true#He's like a slightly more intolerable Caleb Widogast#Same hubris. Same ~volatile~ nature. Same love of cats.#They both simultaneously hate themselves *and* think they could do better than a god#I hated Caleb at first but he was still more tolerable than gale bc he wasn't incredibly arrogant#Also gale is super manipulative and caleb doesn't really know how to be#Also also gale needs to be actively talked down from his hubris to the very last second and you have to pass a high DC persuasion check#To keep him from destroying himself with godhood#Whereas Caleb was actively being supported by Essek in his hubris and STILL chose to disintegrate all of the T-dock#Love you Caleb#No one is gonna read this I just felt like saying it

rodrick's red flag is that he thinks he could survive an alligator attack
#it's because he's been living in a swamp his entire life#keep in mind that he's scared of the oppossum under the deck#so the chances of him fighting any alligator and winning is hilarious#but a man need's his delusion's#the hubris of knowing god has your back ig
