#not when there's another choice

[forgetriestowrite]

ok ok ok it's 1 am and I should be in bed but listen. i need to talk about this

idk if this has been talked about before but you know how in HTTYD 2 Hiccup's mom is like "you have the heart of a chief and the soul of a dragon" and that's like The Theme of the whole series like bridges crossing and Hiccup and Toothless' bond and creating a peaceful world and Test Drive as a track etc etc

and I know that it's important for Hiccup to be that for, again, The Themes

but i feel like we're sleeping on Astrid.

this woman is fierce and protective. She throws the first punch so her loved ones won't get hurt. She is a warrior, a fighter. She literally mirrors the journey of the dragons in general in the first movie, where she is constantly ready and willing to attack her enemy until she is given absolute, irrevocable proof that they can be trusted. After that, she is ready to protect them and help them. She is loyal, strong, capable, a total badass. She is a shield and a sword for her family. She will do anything for them. She has the soul of a dragon too.

Everyone asking "Why wasn't Cyndaquil in the ZA starters lineup?" when frankly the better question is why Gamefreak went with 2 Johto starters

[stompandhollar]

reminding everyone that the in-universe problem with The Doctor and The Master isn’t “ooo horrible nasty enemies who hate each other and don’t get along and fight all the time but are also in love”

the problem is that they get along. the problem is that they can’t stop themselves from falling naturally into a rhythm of riffing off one another and enjoying the other’s company. THAT is the problem. the problem is that it works and that’s the thing that caused all their issues. they like one another. they just click.

Underrated bit in Psych is that sometimes for no discernable reason at all the weird old priest that gus is in love with shows up to rescue them from situations

Sleep tight!

[novelconcepts]

Thinking on how the surviving Yellowjackets are present for one another’s deaths and talk themselves out of culpability. Thinking on how Lottie’s distraction contributed to Travis’ death, how she continued to believe and insist she didn’t kill him. Thinking on how Misty’s injection resulted in Natalie’s death, how she continues to distance herself from fault. Thinking on how Lottie is now dead. Thinking on how Taissa might have been there, but not in control, how that might feel like she wasn’t responsible even if her hands did the pushing. Thinking, thinking, thinking on how they learned this early. We didn’t kill Jackie; the cold did. We didn’t kill Javi; the lake did. We weren’t going to shoot Ben; the Other was. Thinking thinking thinking on how impossible it is to forgive yourself for heinous actions (or inaction) if you refuse to admit to it in the first place.

Thinking thinking thinking on how Natalie was the only one to fully accept the knife in her hand, the blood on her skin, the choice resulting in a man’s death. Thinking on how she came the closest to actually healing. Thinking on how she, from the start, refused the blinders the others need to survive.

What was your inspiration for the story? Where did you learn about the theory to begin with?

I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT SOME OF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

BUT JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW

IT ALL STARTED HERE:

I don't like taking credit for the Papyrus is Gaster concept because

I DID NOT COME UP WITH IT, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS THEORY BECAUSE OF THIS COMIC

WHICH I STILL LOVE VERY MUCH

It changed my brain chemistry I think

I was just watching Undertale comic dubs as normal and I stumbled upon this one

I was a little confused because... why does Gaster look so much like Papyrus?? AND THEN I REALIZED

AND FOR SOME REASON I GOT OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA

Only to find out the comic was abandoned...It was rough...

So, I started to develop my own AU using that concept!

I am going in a VERY different direction with my comic but it is still pretty clear that I took inspiration from this comic

The IKTIKN comic belongs to linssins! If it wasn't for that comic I wouldn't have found out about this theory, so I will never stop mentioning it

I love how with every behind the scenes clip and interview that comes out, it is increasingly clear that Jim and Lee showed up to set every day and made a series of incredibly unhinged decisions and everyone else just rolled with it

[shorthaltsjester]

me when the campaign with characters i’ve praised for being essentially pawns/npcs in the greater world is ending by underserving the main characters by [checks notes] highlighting the role those characters have played as quasi-npcs who are nonetheless still the narrators of their destinies within the limits of a world beyond their control

Doodle request: I found a hc that Scarab had wings that were removed for fucking up his job somehow and that's part of why he's Like That. What's your take on this hc?

i like to think that he got into a scuffle with some other cosmic entity in the past and in the fight his wing got torn, but cause of that he started wearing the suit exoskeleton thing he does now to prevent it from happening again

in my head hes got 2 exoskeletons- the suit is a false one thats tougher than his true one underneath

i feel like prior to that happening he used to wear more actual clothes but alas being an immortal creature doesnt mean you cant still get hurt

so rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead functions on the idea of these guys not having a choice right? and even if they choose to just sit down and not move anywhere they'll probably be moved to where they need to be regardless? and the only choices they have are how they choose to interpret their world, with rosencrantz needing to find and test the boundaries of it and cement their place in it and guildenstern trusting the narrative without question? and guildenstern refuses to allow either of them to decide who they are? and they are so interconnected with each other that they are simply inseparable and indistinguishable, even to themselves? and they cannot define themselves without the other and become lost when they lose each other? and their choice (or lack thereof) in identity (or lack thereof) is mutually decided (or determined) to be in their inherent love and trust and unity in and with each other? and you expect me to be normal about that?
