Marleyan Hange part 4
Liberio 1
A different kind of reunion
first | prev | next
Four years have passed as they do in canon and Hange and Levi have both been licking their wounds (emotional moreso than physical) but only one of them was aware they might meet again sooner rather than later.
Hange has involuntarily climbed the ranks of the Marleyan army while doing their best to keep Essie out of harm's way. Levi has had his hands full trying to keep the Survey Corps from collapsing while not accepting the title of commander, instead waiting until he deemed Armin old enough to be bestowed the title.
The raid Eren forced them into has started and Levi is zipping around Liberio when his eyes fall on a silhouette that has been haunting his nightmares (when he can even manage to fall asleep). As he sees them emerging from the neck of that mutt, something in him snaps and he changes course.
Hange has been running around looking for the warrior candidates while fending off the survey corps soldiers. No, they're island devils. They're praying they didn't hit anyone they know. Knew. Devils. That's right. Nothing more. They stop to ask a group of their underlings if they've seen the kids, but instead of answers they get warnings. They freeze at the sight of Levi (!?) flying towards them and before they can react he's torn them from their titan and tossed them into a wall. Stumbling from the impact, they approach him, something inside them pulling them towards him even now. They have to say something to him, anything, but what is there to say?
As he feels Hange grab onto his cape, hears them call his name, Levi holds onto the flare of anger and betrayal to commit to what he's about to do, stomping down any other emotions he may or may not be feeling, hard. It needs to be done. That's all there is to it.
#ehehehehe#ayyyyy Levi's back!#I'm very happy with most of them but the one where he's flying towards Hange looks dumb af like I was trying to emulate him killing Zeke bu#it just didn't really work XD#didn't feel like coloring everything this time#also there was another little comment on the one where they're face to face saying “are we about to kiss right now?” lmao#but I felt it would distract from the moment too much so I erased it#also hange's expression wasn't so distraught in that earlier version it was more flustered so it fit better xD#I swear Levi didn't just randomly grow taller they're just in an awkward position 😭#levihan#marleyan hange au#attack on titan#levihan fanart#hange zoe#hanji zoe#levi ackerman#attack on titan fanart#shingeki no kyojin#aot fanart#violetscanfly#first cliffhanger isn't it? I'm having fun >:)

@mymusehowls I actually drew Nie Mingjue braiding Meng Yao's hair a couple months ago, so I decided to switch it up and let Meng Yao braid Nie Mingjue's this time!
Dealing with all that hair must take forever, so they may as well go over morning reports while fussing around with it u.u
#mdzs#nieyao#nie mingjue#jin guangyao#meng yao#nmj#jgy#i have so many feelings about the nie braids#i love shit like that#such a visual and codified way of showing belonging? the fact that you'd actually have to teach a SKILL to form that level of belonging?#like SOMEONE had to teach meng yao how to braid his hair that way. someone had to say 'you're one of us and you get to show the world that'#what point did he receive that permission/instruction?#and then it would have become a ROUTINE#a routine which he KEPT UP#even as jin guangyao. even as a spy.#and like? what was that meant to say?#what did it say to himself? what did it say to anyone who saw it? was anyone else allowed to see it?#all this coming from jgy who is never less than six schemes deep at any given time?#(and i don't care if this is show exclusive canon and really only '''''canon''''''' at that i am obsessed with it it's mine now)#this rat who is constantly trying to claw out some sort of safe home for himself - what does it MEAN TO HIM I WANT TO KNOW#I WANT TO DISSECT HIM#anyway#nie hair braids#i really really really love them#though on the flip side i hate drawing them with a burning passion and jgy should always have his dumb little hat on to spare me from it

I'm sorry, you can't have both an evil Jay arc we're supposed to take seriously, and the script using his full legal name.
I'm not going to be afraid of the all menacing 'Jay Walker'. You can't get it to happen.
#it was a cute little joke when it was a low stakes show with a couple seasons#it is a major hindrance to storytelling now#i feel like the fandom regularly forgets how insane a character name that is#it's very dumb#/affectionate#and we are unfortunately stuck with it#ninjago#dragons rising#jay walker

Looks like you found one of those golden retriever girls! Good luck with that, Tamarack
(Fake screenshots! These are fan made based on incorrect quotes and not in the game)
#our life#our life 2#our life now and forever#olnf#olnf tamarack#tamarack baumann#our life tamarack#incorrect quotes#fan edit#fan made#not canon#mc annabeth#annabeth is soooooo jason mendoza coded it's crazy#like she's not stupid but she is kinda dumb and happy most of the time and she loves tama more than anything#this quote probably works a little better in step 3 but i don't have those sprites so maybe I'll redo this when i do#also tama is the ONLY person allowed to call her annie! everyone else calls her beck or maybe annabeth if they're close#i need the step 2 angst so bad it's not even funny. i need it and i need it right now#like none of my mcs are having a good time in step 2 but becks arc is about how hard it can be to always be the positive and upbeat one#and that maybe her two best neighbors take that for granted sometimes and need to let her feel negatively wo making her feel guilty#sunshine characters breaking down/snapping my beloved

What if I turned Blackbird, Fly into a comic
What then
#tbh. and keeping this in the tags to be lowkey#I’m really evaluating what makes me want to get up in the morning#because I’ve been asking myself for a while if I want to be sitting at a computer writing every day#and the answer hasn’t been immediately yes and writing has more than once made me question literally everything#and now that I’ve gotten back into drawing I wake up like ‘I want to draw right now’#but I feel awful about doing a sudden 180 and I don’t trust myself on this bc maybe I’m just thinking with too much dopamine#but also I just dropped a bunch of money on a cintiq out of nowhere because it just felt. like the right moment#so idk. lalalalalalala trying to figure out what to do with my life before I turn 30 etc#also I started reading saagelius’ webtoon and it’s SO GOOD#and it reminds me of drawing dumb little comics as a kid and doing so much character design and worldbuilding#and I’m like. this. more of this

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices
it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.
BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.
riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?
i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?
...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.
#i like the way people mock the flop parts of twin peaks and i enjoy it when people mock the flop parts of riverdale in the same tone#but rvd NOT one of those shows where the fandom is the thing that makes it good by appropriating and rearranging it. like some listed above#riverdale isn't dumb. it's not thoughtless. it's a lowbrow postmodern love letter to trash media and it takes a lot of big risky swings.#and its juggling act does NOT always work in practice. i don't always agree with the tradeoffs it takes to balance like.#the mainline text AND the queer subtext AND the fanfictiony iterative media riffs AND the genre meta AND the actual canonical metaplot#but it really does reward curiosity and close-reading. it's like a little puzzle cube you have to turn over a few times sometimes to solve#i feel judgmental about people who hit 'post' on what's obviously like a very surface level reaction without much thought put into it#ohhh the show challenged you? the show folded continuity over on itself and you can't hang anymore? you didn't get what you expected?#and now you're being dismissive instead of sitting with it? ok. dork.#riverdale#(it's not really that serious. but you asked and i'm feeling so so very earnest about Posting today. love you thanks for asking)#(would love to know what parts you most want to mock. i have my own list. eNdGaMe is at the top of it. jughead's mommy issues era too)

Well I want to be honest, my mental health hasn’t been the best the past few months. I’ve been really struggling to the point of crying about several different things and it’s not anyone’s fault. Maybe my situation irl is affecting how I feel online, and it sucks because everyone is so nice and kind but I feel like I don’t belong? Idk how to explain it. It’s a very awful feeling and I’m recovering from several traumatic things I thought I’d gotten over but they keep resurfacing, I think I need to organize my feelings and stop overthinking, but I wanted to explain myself too. I’ll be unfollowing several people and you’re free to unfollow me too 💖🙏 y’all have been nothing but wonderful and a source of inspiration but I need to work on myself ;v;)b
I wish everyone a very lovely evening tbh UwU you’re all the best, bless you 💖
#pix habla#it’s hard to be honest but I have to be ฅ(•ㅅ•❀)ฅ#i could just unfollow but I wanted to explain myself too it felt wrong not to#i tried so hard to reason with my dumb little brain#but there’s too much and I need a break#this has happened before like? three times ? it’s weird#mystery skulls and undertale#hmmm i guess fnaf too then#getting diagnosed with autism made it so much worse actually now I’m convinced people only keep me around because they feel sorry for me#so I’m going to work on that#it’s not personal at all#im sad I can’t feel better no matter how nice and supportive everyone is

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

▣ I personally hate zolusan with a burning hatred that i have never had for any other ship before! and for me the worst hc is sanji being the mediator/zosan (sexually/romantic; i also don't like sanzo) while zolu is aromantic/asexual in the trio (as an aroqueer i hate this so much ; the way they make is almost like zosan is the main ship and luffy is in the middle because zolu's bond is unquestionable but let's make him aroace so it doesn't disrupt the main ship)! It makes me want to eat rocks!! Just make the damn sanzo fic and leave Luffy out of it!! Thanks for reading, I had to tell someone about it.
I think zolusan could be good, if they used Luffy more and not just added for a third that hangs around zoro mostly and didn't focus on the sanzo half of the ship. I don't really like sanzo that much, I really can't see it tbh, but I think lusan could be cute. kind of like Luffy and his two boyfriends that don't like each other (sanzo boyfriend-in-laws lol).
but I can see why you'd hate zolusan. I really hate when people make Luffy aroace just so he wont be in the way of their main ship. I love the aroace Luffy hc don't get me wrong, but slapping that label on him to keep him away from sanzo is annoying especially if he is written in part of the ship.
#anon ask#Idk if this makes any sense. I didn't take my adhd meds today sorry#I could go into a whole tangent about how people write luffy off as a dumb/innocent child to write about sanzo with out luffy annoys me#but i don't really know how to put it in words right now. my unmediated ass is not good with words#I could also go into a tangent about sanzo and how i feel about it. I have a lot of opinions on Sanji's and Zoro's relationship lol#I try not to be a hater but you know sometimes you gotta be a little

do u ever think back to how the rpc used to be and just miss it? like i know we went through some absolutely putrid phases together, but sometimes i think back and like. we really did have a community, yk? and we still do! but sometimes i miss things about the rpc of 2018, 2016, back to when i joined in 2015, yk?
#( OUT OF SOULS. )#( like i look back on me in 2015 just diving into people's DMs relentlessly )#( i was a fearless little shit )#( what happened to me? huh? )#( i remember we were all way less worried about our presence on the dash )#( one time i had exams for a month and i didn't even announce it )#( i just disappeared and came back and people were like 'oh hey blue x' )#( and maybe i'm just being dumb and over-tired )#( but i feel like connections were way easier back then )#( i know we're all older now and we have obligations but i'm not even talking abt that )#( it's more like. when i joined people were so excited to help me figure things out )#( and nowadays it feels like there's some kinda fear that we SHOULDN'T do that? we SHOULDN'T talk to each other? )#( idk )#( maybe i just need a nap )

The fact that peppino's always just waking up when fake is eating some(one)thing just makes me think it's a routine occurrence for him at this point-
you know the joys of having a cat trying to fight/bring you a prize in the middle of the night?
it's even less enjoyable when it's a several hundred pound Italian Frog chasing after something.
but at this point they've kinda just gotten used to it.
#it's too bad that these dumb little frogs keep crawling their way into this pizza shop. too enticing in there i guess.#unfortunately that means this poor little frog now gets to know how a meatball feels.#my art#pizza tower#pizza tower fake peppino#peppino clone#pizza tower gustavo#but hey.... at least Fake helps keep the pests under control! not a lot of rats or raccoons to be found outside too often.

i often really do feel like an .. unwanted part of the fandom, i dont draw beautiful landscapes, i have unpopular but strong opinions im constantly annoying about and rarely change, dont like/dont draw the pretty young popular twinks and hot gurls to fanboi over nor do i turn characters into one, the opposite moreso, draw only one ship no ones heard of really, got little energy to interact with the few people that are nice to me and send me asks so it probably looks like im ignoring everyone and unfortunately but still rarely get so stressed i get overwhelmed and emotional about pehaps seemingly minor things and spiral almost into a breakdown feeling super embarrassed about it afterwards but the damage is already done and i look like a freak or agressive weirdo
#ganondoodles talks#also probably sounds like self pity#but this feeling hits everytime i see a super popular artist be the popular cool artist#i am a little weird i know that and thats not somethign bad i think#but the internet never gets to see that much of me#i tend to write posts when i am at my worst bc it has to go somewhere#so the image it tells people is that im a weirdly strong opiniod freak that gets breakdowns over nothing#i also dont feel like im otherwise -cool tm- enough to balance that out#i dont think my art is as stylized or as inventive as others nor am i cool to interact with bc idk how to be cool to interact with#i feel double bad when i misstepped with someone i used to talk to bc of something stupid ... or just dont know what i did wrong#im guessing its especially when i am in that spiraling state of mind where i really am not myself tbh#it still feels very bad bc i feel like i can never make it up to anyone again#sorry i acted like a jerk my brain was exploding in emotions in a desperate attempt to deal with something idk how to deal with-#-and made me not act like myself but now i feel really dumb about it#doesnt sound like a good excuse#... i want to thank those that do stick with me#even if i acted strange sometimes- even if i disappointed sometimes- even when i couldnt keep a promise#there are little things that still make me angry at myself#like that one time i asked in the tags whod read as long as the end of them and if someone did shoudl send me an ask so id draw a lil thing#and i got two#and i kept trying to remeber oh shit i need to do that and forgetting again/not having energy for it in a loop#i still feel like a jerk about it but now its probably too late#i wish i could answer all asks i get but man my energy for that is always rock bottom#no matter how much i enjoy the ask#and i love getting asks!!!#im sorry :((

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.
#simon says#to explain here and not in a reblog:#sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb#you might not have done enough research#you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument#you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this#sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution#you do what you can to fight against the problem#you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem#and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem#like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue#but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face#they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you#and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing#sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“#sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that#i used this while talking with my Dad tonight#he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution#and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now#and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it#and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate#and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before#i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help#and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change#but all I really could do is the little things I have control over#and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over#like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet#which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue#and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best#so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment
