More possession stuff ^^

Sorry to all Lloyd fans but I couldn’t resist doing Kai and Morro, I love their parallels too much.

My interpretation of how a "Morro possesses Kai au" would be:

At first it's the usual possession but it's very violent since Kai has a bad temper. Morro agressively possesses him and breaks into Kai’s memories against his will.

But Kai is stubborn and angry and doesn't let Morro hurt Lloyd. So after the fight Morro digs deeper into Kai’s memories to see what he can use against him.

Morro finds himself relating to Kai and tries to manipulate him to betray the ninja and work with him (going as far as to showing Kai his memories)

Kai still refuses to hurt the ninja and shifts the narrative "why go after Lloyd when you can go after Wu?".

Kai basically learnt what Wu did to Morro and him and gets angry and wants to get revenge on him.

Morro is conflicted into what Wu did and his love for his only father figure. But Kai is also conflicted because on one side he relates to Morro but on the other Morro tried to use his body to hurt Lloyd. In the end I think Kai would choose his anger towards Wu and try to convince Morro even if he has to do so by manipulating him because as much as he's empathetic, he knows he can’t save Morro, and can’t get easily over the fact he wanted to harm Lloyd.

It would be interesting that at some point Morro had to fight Kai because he wanted to attack Wu and the ninja of course misinterpret it and still think of Morro as a villain.

To sum up they'd try to manipulate each other and end up exhausted from fighting the possession.

I love exploring the duality of broken villains.

#on one side they are villains and do (sometimes irredimible) evil stuff #but on the other side they have very good reasons as to why they are acting like that #I love any type of gray characters and I think these two fit the trope so much #art #ninjago #ninjago kai #kai smith #ninjago morro #morro wu #ninjago wu #ninjago possessed kai

I find the demonization of Demeter in supposedly feminist retellings of the Hades and Persephone story thoroughly fascinating because she was actually the myth's protagonist

A lot of retellings focus on the "lovebirds" but the myth was moreso focused on Demeter's quest to bring her daughter home than any romance they might've had. In fact, the original source material is entitled "Homeric Hymn to Demeter"

It followed the goddess of harvest searching desperately for the whereabouts of her kidnapped daughter, enlisting the help of deities and mortals alike along the way, and eventually forcing Zeus himself to come to a compromise through sheer stubborness and pure love for her child

An interpretation I really like is that the tale is an allegory for mothers in Ancient Greece whose daughters were taken away from them to be married off without them having any say in the matter

Putting all that aside, I'm really curious as to what prompted people to portray Demeter as a control freak who doesn't want to see her daughter happy with the one she loves when originally, she was simply a mother who fought tooth and nail to see her Persephone returned to her

#in which epher is shamelessly garrulous #late night rambles real #also yes this is mainly about lore olympus #mythological demeter defender till i die #she was one of the better gods #she had a temper but i dont recall her doing anything particularly evil like the other gods #sure she granted erisychthon insatiable hunger but that was after he cut down her sacred grove after she explicitly warned him not to #i haven't heard about her doing anything worse than that but i'd be interested in hearing about it if she has #and yes she did starve mankind which was what drove zeus to partly give persephone back but her child had literally been taken from her #it doesn't exactly justify it because people definitely died but it was a very human reaction and it displayed how much she loved persephon #while other gods' evil acts are usually done out of pleasure #anyways #greek mythology #demeter #persephone #hades #persephone and hades #hades and persephone #greek gods #lore olympus critical #lore olympus criticism #sorry people who enjoy lore olympus #ramblings

Soooooo I did lich emmrich...for science..

AND IM SORRY I DONT LIKE IT HOW IS IT MORE COMON THAN SAVING MANFRED??????????

#i have a feeling its simular to those who ascended astarion bc they believed his act #but waaayyy less evil and way more healthy #like im a strong believer that if emmrich wanted to become a lich so badly #he wouldnt be asking us to make that decision for him #it feels kinda cheap to encourage him to live and embrace mortality #then be like “actually jk its your dream so go do it”#one of the biggest sticking points for me is his reasoning to become a lich #he'd be more in tune with the fade and see all its secrets and such #but it would also allow him to “be of service past” past his time #like my sweet gentleman sir #what YOU want is what matters #screw what the necropolis wants others will come along and continue your work as you did for those before you #people die. lives end. we wont get to finish everything we started #and thats normal and okay #emmrich is in such a fascinating position where he has the chance to say no to all that #and actually live 5ever #but is a long life better than a life well lived?#on the other hand: get dat skeleton ass baybeee if thats what youre in to #im just fascinated by if lichdom is something emmrich really wants #or something he thinks he should want #im sure ill rant about this another day lmao #feel free to chat with me about yalls thoughts cause id love to hear them!#dragon age #da4 #da4 spoilers #datv spoilers #da:tv spoilers #emmrich volkarin #veilguard spoilers #emmrich spoilers

OKAY. I did NOT remember that only after having met Joker twice, twice, Bruce was already willing to kidnap and brainwash him at his weakest moment. Right.

Batman #2 (1940)

#bruce wayne #joker #i love early batman #i loved it when no one paid any mind to if the acts of our hero are actually heroic or evil #how good and evil were distinguished from each other during this time was that whatever bruce was doing was good #and whatever the villain of the week was doing was evil #but what am i saying that is still how they differentiate good and evil in batman comics to this day ^_^

I'm stealing a tweet but what are your media literacy check characters

#one of mine is mu qing from tgcf because if you still think he was being antagonistic on purpose i have no words for you tbh #the other one is bakugou katsuki for obvious reasons #not because i'm defending what he did but because people actively deny that he had character development #my other other one is toga himiko for also obvious reasons #my other other other one is jiang cheng from mdzs #actually mdzs itself is a media literacy check honestly but that take is for another day #bnha #mha #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #2ha #erha #those r all my recent fandoms #please fight in my comments i'm begging you i want entertainment #FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT #p5r #p5 #sorry i forgot one my other other other other one is goro akechi because you don't have to like him but calling him evil is crazy #i don't think he's a good person but he's not EVIL #love him btw he is my favorite p5 character but he is Not Really A Good Person #but like people saying he's evil and all the phantom thieves hate him. did you. read persona 5 #did you just look at the pretty pictures and numbers like what #the game literally tells you that he was a victim of unfortunate circumstances and the adults around him like EVERYONE ELSE #HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS HIRED TO BECOME AN ASSASSIN #actually i've decided that maruki is also a media literacy check character #because the amount of people i see acting like he maliciously manipulated a bunch of teenagers and he's so bad/evil/a creep is insane #guys. characters don't have to be just good or bad.

now that i'm playing dragon age: veilguard i understand hbomberguy so much better. think i could probably do a 3.5 hours long video called "dragon age: the veilguard is FINE and here's why"

#the writing in dragon age has Always been a bit clunky it's part of the charm #but yes there are sections in DAV that made me go “oh nooo”#but no it isn't as bad as people say #the mechanics are fun idc. it's bad that my new laptop can run all of BG3 fine but becomes laggy as hell in any city location in DAV tho #companions r generally charming and they're all professionals so it makes sense they're less prone to big fights than say DAO morrigan #but yes i do miss having a bit more tension in the party sometimes #the character creator is great for dudes but yea it would probably b cool if it were possible to have curvier bodies for those who want tha #but no it isn't literally impossible to make good-looking rooks. it's quite easy actually #and like yeah you can't have wildly out there body types but it's pretty cool that you can be a geralt type a twink or chubby as a dude #(i play male characters and have only done the female cc once for a custom f!inquisitor so i have more experience w that one)#the qunari also look. fine? the antaam don't look too soft or anything so far #the majority of complaints against this game were stupid and not rooted in anything real #BUT!!! i don't love it #solas continues to be a highlight #lucanis is great so far and i love neve #neve's voice acting is amazing #she manages to make some very disappointing lines sound good #but..... i can't pretend the writing *isn't* awkward in places #d'meta's crossing stands out to me as a pretty bad case of overly direct storytelling #(spoilers) talking to the mayor was deeply disappointing! he just TOLD rook what he did and why. it felt so anticlimactic #especially bc the imagery in the village was striking and grotesque #but there didn't feel like there was any payoff #other sections have been great #but DAV just feels like it completely lacks subtlety at times #the other DA games haven't always been masters of show dont tell but this section felt like a first draft #like someone was working out the story and didn't have time to polish the script at all before the voice actors were called in #idk it really stands out to me as bad #also yeah it's noticeable that you don't really get to do evil things. at least not yet

same(ish) pose opposite vibes

I would run like a little child and hug one of them and run away from the other at the speed of light

this is really a testament to the fact that you don't actually have to change much of your appearance, general mannerisms or accent to perfectly embody completely opposing characters

#this is what you call range #he looks nearly the same #but it's still really hard to imagine it's the same person #10th doctor #kilgrave #doctor who #jessica jones #david tennant #he's an acting chameleon FFS #he actually is though #I mean even if you haven't watched either you can see the pure joy in one face and the pure evil in the other #on a side note i love how they just gave him a suit and combed his hair but kilgrave is still the most terrifying marvel villain #no CGI no special effects no over the top displays of power needed #and basically gave the doctor just sticky up hair #and that was enough to embody a 900 year old alien #who was very animated and also perfectly embodies how otherworldly the character was while still having character depth and relatability #thank you for coming to my TED talk guys

Hot take. Spencer is misunderstood and is a complex character who isnt all that bad, you guys are just mean.

#thats my boy youre ragging on.#evil spencer is an interesting take on the character. he is an asshole. maybe deserves one smack to the face #but i keep seeing genuine vitriolic hatred for him and seeing him portrayed as an irredeemable monster and that makes me sad inside #i need to write up a post on spencer and why i think he acts the way he does #“he tried to kill Hiro” so many other engines tried to kill other engines. Diesel was boasting about how everyone would get killed and then-#-subsequently replaced by him. im not excusing his actions. but i think theres a reason behind it #and if Hiro can learn to be friends with Spencer i think you should at least look at him with a bit more kindness #Hiro my sweet grandpa how do you have so much love in your heart. you forgive a clearly misguided and insecure engine who was surrounded by-#-horrible influences (engines on the mainland)#forgive my boy spencer hes an asshole but he gets better #ttte

interesting how polin is all here for multishippers when it comes to penelope being shipped with literally everyone and their father, but the second someone ships colin with marina, it's suddenly controversial and bad and wrong and they should be totally fine with people talking shit about her and acting like she's the worst and how dare you post anything in the archives about it or in the tags, don't you know that he'd be miserable and the two of them would never work and I HATE HER AND AND AND.

this fandom will lose their shit over penelope with literally every bland whitebread man in her general vicinity and fics on fics on fics get written about her with OCs and his brothers and his sister and people she's never so much as shared a room with but heaven forbid you think Colin and Marina were cute during their canonical courtship

#y'all hate this woman so much for why???? like go OUTSIDE #marina has very understandable reasons for doing what she's done and in a lot of ways is more understandable than most of the characters #who have hurt others that the fandom idolizes and wants to strip of their bad choices #i said what i said #marina is SO EVIL apparently and anyone who likes her needs to be prepared for everyone to have a shitty opinion of her #that they feel justified in voicing aloud with their entire chest even on posts that are about positivity for her #her tag is a minefield of people who just want to talk down about her character or act as though she's the absolute worst ever #and we're all expected to just nod our heads and deal with it #well i fucking like her okay??? and the people who like her shouldn't have to deal with all the hate everywhere including in her tag #i think in an alternate universe her and colin could have worked things out and been happy #and it could have been a really beautiful narrative of growth and forgiveness and two people coming to understand one another #i think her pragmatism and his dreamer soul could get along and they could support one another #i think he would have made a great father to amanda and oliver and she could have fallen arse over elbow in love with him for it #and i know i'm alone in that canoe but damnit then just leave me alone in it???#i can ship polin AND molin #eat my shorts

I just thought of a ship and I wanted to share it:

Spadesgorudy (spade x Asgore x Rudy)

Basically spade and Rudy tolerate each other for asgore’s sake, because he loves the both of them and they love him.

Also this man (asgore) deserves all of the love and praise and everything

Just wanted to share

Extremely valid and I support this ship wholeheartedly. If I was less deathly neutral on Rudy I'd def ship it myself. Have some doodles of them

#spadesgorudy #i guess thats the official name now #ask #asks #spadesgore #rudy holiday #asgore #spade #king of spades #spade king #asgore dreemurr #asgore holiday more like lmaooooooo #drawings #deltarune #god you can tell i fucking never draw rudy he looks so bad help meeeeee #me and meow actually have a very similar setup to shipping spade asgore and gaster #like. two dudes in love with asgore and they just have to learn to live with each other lest asgore just breaks apart like a jigsaw puzzle #whats interesting abt the dynamic between spade and rudy in this scenerio specifically #is that they both kind of. act as equalizers to one another #spade is pure evil and rudy forces him to take it down a notch #while rudy has like half a braincell he refuses to use that spade kidnaps and kicks into high gear #asgore is just an enabler to both of them he just goes with the flow #sometimes makes them take a day off and actually enjoy life for once #fun stuff!!!

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?

#WHERE IS THAT POST THAT SAID NINE WOULD KILL THIRTEEN FOR BEING A CLASS TRAITOR #WHY WOULD YOU SAY “ERODE PEOPLE'S TRUST IN AUTOMATION” ALL WORRIED AND CONCERNED LIKE THAT???#WHEN DID YOU START LIKING AUTOMATION OVER PEOPLE THINKING AND DOING THINGS FOR THEMSELVES???#AND WHY ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH A COPPER??? WE HATE COPPERS??????#did we FORGET into the dalek?? how about how he treated danny?? god there's so much more I can't even remember off the top of my head #(I understand soldiers are different from cops but c'mon don't even PRETEND twelve would've been any nicer if blue or danny were just COPS)#also a bit off topic bUT MAY I JUST TALK ABOUT ARACHNIDS IN THE UK FOR HALF A GODAMNED SECOND—#I know the companions are usually the ones to do the doctor's dirty work here but like #I just can't see the other doctors NOT having the business man lure the spider for being so fuckin annoying about it #like I was genuinely surprised when they had him do that whole song and dance about not doing it and then he actually just. didn't do it #the doctor LOVES fucking with evil rich business men this is PERFECT. plus why not get back at him for being awful to their companions?#absolutely gobsmacked thirteen let him act like that. I am wrong in thinking that the others would've shut his shit down a LOT quicker??#anyways. I love jodie whittaker and it's just so upsetting to have her doctor do something so wildly off #THIRTEEN PLEASE I HAD SUCH FAITH IN YOUUU I WAS IGNORING THE HATERS AND FOR WHAT #I can SEE the other doctors in her still I can FEEL them they're there she's doing an AMAZING job but. oh my god. what did they make her do #I can't even say she feels ooc as a whole because jodie is bloody brilliant. it's just these... moments. that don't make ANY sense to me...#especially coming off of twelve?? I get the radical personality switch but that belief is a core part of the doctor. or at least I THOUGHT #thirteenth doctor #doctor who #I still love all of you who love her and reading ur posts/fics but I. will not be making any myself. I do not think.

evilest decision i didn't realize i was making while writing thistle: he never refers to delgal as his brother, not even once. it's always just his king or his lord

#he was never legitimized... rip #at most he acts like delgal is his responsibility or his kid in a very vague sense but Brother is a little too presumptuous isnt it #it's like how your mom's puppy is her baby and your 'sibling' and you love it but it's still just the pet #and with that in mind he and yaad don't refer to one another by familial terms because in spite of how long they've known each other #thistle has always felt like some creepy estranged relative imposing himself into the family's space #so yaad barely sees him as Grandfather's Brother he's mostly just Thistle (gestures vaguely to the mess)#and thistle only cares about yaad as an extension of delgal so yaad is Delgal's Grandson but no one to him personally #i'm rlly starting to think that a postcanon relationship between them that's any semblance of healthy would burn the melini family bridge #the melini family situation was so insidious that any attempts to reconstruct that #would at the VERY least be severely triggering for them both #like hell are you going to reenact your trauma with someone you personally traumatized #(< being evil about this)#roomba writes

If u see me descend into madness or the sad in these few days it’s either because of my fever + cold that has made my brain fuzzy (and thus, susceptible to rollercoaster rides of emotions) or the way im knees deep in elden ring lores (which are both magnificent and also depressing)

#i am sorry but FUCK MIQUELLA FOR WHAT HE DID TO ST TRINA #and everyone else who has been charmed by him #u do not need to act or behave maliciously to be evil #the mere act of thiefing one’s free will and dominance is already a big no no #also sacrificing everything for a so called greater good is heroic and all but to abandon love— when you’ve claimed to be forgiving and #bring an age of gentleness…how can you bring upon such age if you yourself has none?#what other monstrosities can one commit if it’s for this said new age that none are truly aware of #sorry guys i went off hard bcuz it pissed me off so badly HAHSJFIDUDB #like I KNEW miquella wasn’t the saint everyone was sayinf #‘kind miquella’#um i think the FUCK not #bressy is asleep so i cant scream to her about this so yeag #gummmyspeaks

I can fix him*

*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers

#ra speaks #personal #sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding #should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts #also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists�� but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever #seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next #but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T
