I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

#I'm on to something here #screwtio #aventio #hsr aventurine #veritas ratio #dr ratio #screwllum #hsr #honkai star rail #now as a disclaimer I'm not personally a huge fan of aventio #exclusively because i think they are so SO much funnier as gay friends #but something about combining the two clicks really well to me #Aventurine and Screwllum would be pretty fantastic metamours i think #they'd have a lot of fun playing off each other #but also Screwllum being there to dispute Aventurine's doubts over whether or not Ratio cares as a verified outside perspective #listing off shit like upticks in heartrate pupil dialation etc on top of being like #he talks about you fondly he knows your favorite things i can personally attest that you are very evidently important to him #stuff Aventurine can't easily write off when coming from not only an outside perspective but also a literal Genius #and on the flip side Aventurine would finally have someone other than Ratio and the Trailblazer he can talk to with relative ease #someone who has also been through a frankly incredibly traumatizing historical event #someone who is also under constant pressure to perform a certain way #someone who has gained wealth and power at the cost of carrying responsibilities on his shoulders and never being truly free #appearing free to anyone who glances but neither of them really are #Screwllum seemingly able to freely pursue whatever research he wants but ultimately permanently shackled with his titles #and public pressure to be the perfect poised representative for all of inorganic kind #forever treading the line of being both a desirable ally and a sufficient threat that you wouldn't want to cross him #and similarly Aventurine stuck in his cycle that he feels only death can free him from of gambling with his life on the line #because the IPC basically owns him #because let's be honest Jade's offer was just a lifetime labor contract he couldn't refuse #granted the illusion of freedom through gaining money and power but never truly free

*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

#i really do have a love-hate relationship with this timeline #because it's FASCINATING lore. genuinely. and i think it carries over the themes of certain games REALLY well #but i also think it's indicative of a trend in loz's writing that has REALLY annoyed me for a long time #which is this intense need to cling to oot #and on a certain level i get it. that was your most successful game probably ever. and it was an AMAZING game.#and i think there's definitely some corporate profit maximization tied up in this too--oot was an insane commercial success therefore you'r #not allowed to make new games we need you to just remake oot forever and ever #and that really annoys me because it makes certain games feel disjointed at best and barely-coherent at worst.#i think the best zelda games on the market are the ones where the devs were allowed to really push what they were working with #oot. majora. botw. hell i'd even put minish cap in there #these are games that don't quite follow what was the standard zelda gameplay at their time of release. they were experimental in some way #whether that be with graphics or puzzle mechanics or open-world or the gameplay premise in its entirety. there's something NEW there #and because the devs of those games were given that level of freedom the gameplay really enforces the narrative. everything feels complete #and designed to work together. as opposed to gameplay that feels disjointed or fights against story beats. you know??#so I think that the willingness to allow botw and totk to exist independently from the timeline is good at the very least from a developmen #standpoint because it implies a willingness to. stop making shitty oot remakes and let developers do something interesting.#and yes i do very much fear that the next 20 years of zelda will be shitty BOTW remakes now #in which botw link appears and undergoes the most insane character assassination youve ever seen in your life #but im trying to be optimistic here. if botw/totk can exist outside the timeline then we may no longer be stuck in the remake death loop #and i'm taking eow as a good sign (so far) that we're out of the death loop!! because that game looks NOTHING like botw or oot.#fingers crossed!!#anyway sorry for the game dev rant but tldr timeline good except when it's bad #asks #zelda analysis

it’s so easy to forget that you can literally write whatever you want

#i think especially if you post your writing it’s easy to forget because #sometimes we subconsciously try and write reader as someone who most readers will like #instead of writing reader as #yourself for example #sometimes i feel disconnected from my own reader-insert-guy #you know ?!#i haven’t written anything with me in mind as the reader #i had this sudden realization #just now #as im writing a lil vent-y kind of fic #that i probably won’t end up posting HOWEVER #im writing the reader as myself for the first time and it’s #making me happy today #as for the vent not to worry sbshjsjdkd I’ve had this issue with an irl for a couple months now #tis all okay and well #🐇 — text !#but you can literally write so much. like if you’re nervous for something u could write ur fav offering support #if ur happy u can write them being happy w u! if ur mad u can write them telling someone off for u #u have so much freedom as a writer #love that a lot #on the other hand i can write sakura pouring milk before cereal if i wanted to #i could even make suo do that #cw vent #INCASE

what if because dust and horror wouldn't wanna be called anything aside from sans in a multiverse context and they were both good buddies they both just start calling eachother sans. i'm sans (dust) and i'm sans (horror) ahh duo

becaaause horror in his eye(s) still sees himself as sans!! he's sans!! who else is he SUPPOSED to be god 😒😒 stop attatching this stupid fake name onto him that just points out all his shortcomings in his au and also just dehumanizes him (because i get that aus are named after a key trait of something but COME ON the guy's name is HORROR it's like naming a poor person "brokie" or something,,,). horror is PROUDLY sans smh

and dust ALSO sees himself as sans!!! like,,, granted he's definitely not a better sans than he was before considering everything he did (but he still doesn't like his past self's inaction) but he's STILL SANS. nothing about him changed (really?) enough to warrant the whole identity shift. like dude dont discredit him DONT DENY HIS WHOLE LIFE!!! he IS sans no matter what,,, dust doesnt wanna think about what he became if he's not sans now anyways lul :3

now could they fight over the right to the identity of sans??? possibly,,, but also consider this: there are literally infinite numbers of sanses in the multiverse. at some point the shiny title of Sans would be something horror and dust are used to around the multiverse!!! so why fight over the name (that so many others share already so its not exactly exclusive) when they can just decide to make each other feel better!!! be delusional TOGETHER 🤞

#because a certain mutual of mine's post reminded me that this draft of mine existed #ironic how this whole post is about dust and horror wanted to be called sans. and i call them dust and horror the entire time #killer would be having the WORST DAY OF HIS LIFE being around them #SANS THIS SANS THAT HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! YOURE HORROR YOURE DUST AND NEITHER OF YOU ARE SANS!!! NONE OF US ARE #ohhh my god this gave me ANOTHER idea.... horror and dust's pride in being sans bothering killer..... hahahshehahageh i like that idea #what's with me and horrordust but theyre using eachother to cope with the fact that they hate their current lives so they pretend to go bac #let's see if untitled29876011111 will approve of this mtt take after they wake up....... :3 #this must be like the 7th hc ive made about dust and horror trying to remain as sans together #i think its really an interesting thing to me how they both are the furthest thing from sand undertale but they still believe it so firmly #its kinda like the opposite of killer and his want to be seperate from sans #because (and dont shoot me if im wrong) killer doesnt wanna be sans because he doesnt wanna believe he could've possibly made the decision #to do whatever the hell it is for chara as who he used to think he was. doesnt wanna believe that he's still the same guy when he's been #changed against his will SO much that even he cant recognize himself. and then for dust and horror #they still wanna be sans because for the opposite but same reason???? like #dont wanna accept they they've changed that much so they cling onto the old identity. i love trio parallels #i love continuation group i'm SO glad theyre continuation group. there are other continuations but THEY are continuation group #every single little detail about them can be connected to each other...... and they barely even know each other in canon ✨✨✨✨#the characters are SO perfect together even though theyre not even from the same character or have interactions #how is it possible that 3 characters from 3 seperate creators with none/barely any canon interactions w eachother #just manage to work SO WELL TOGETHER!!!! THEY HAVE SO MSNY CONNECTIONS AND GREAT DYNAMICS AND PARALLRLS OAUGHHHH I LOVE THE MTT!!!! MY TRIO #i wasn't totally inspired by the silly sans 1 and sans 2 thing i put into my fic noooo. ok maybe i was :3 #this is 500% gonna be a flop post but whatever i post for myself and the 1 person i know will 1000% see it now ✨✨✨ freedom ✨✨✨✨✨#tricule hc #killer sans #killer's not here in post but he's mentioned in tags. for today this is okay #dust sans #horror sans #murder time trio #utmv #sans au

Fighting DEMONS rn trying not to get invested in one piece to figure out wtf you're posting about!!!!

come here cyber.... we have this thang

‎

#mp answers #i've been trying so hard not to be annoying to my bnha friends but if you will allow me to push this for this ask let me say 🙏#if you're afraid of the episode count for one piece the manga is a lot quicker read while being just as enjoyable because the art style is #an actual delight. its great its fantastic im absolutely in love with it #the series is soooo good and i know luffy can seem unappealing to people before they start but he's just SUCH a great character & continues #to be even now. the story is SO GOOD the characters are SO GOOD... theres so much lore and world building that its insane #if you read the manga we get 'cover stories' on what's going on with previous characters to see what theyre up to even though we moved on #from where we left them. a lot of these cover stories blend into the main story so well its just seamless #there's one where we get introduced to a character we dont see hundreds of episodes into the anime and they show up like; during the second #saga. the series is about traveling to other islands and every single arc has been tied to another in some way or form that shows up later #even if its sagas and sagas later- it still becomes relevant again!! it's a huge ongoing story and there isnt a single arc that feels like #it has no purpose (sans filler in the anime-but even then!! some filler arcs are really entertaining!)#it's emotional! its sad! its downright stupid and silly but GOD... you can feel the love that oda put into this series and his characters #and the emotions in the expressions and the messages the story gives off it just makes me UEUHGHHAHGHH!!!#it's all about the adventure and the romance of it all! its about the freedom it brings and bringing freedom to others!#its a series where treasure should be a focus given its pirates and the its a giant treasure hunt for the one piece and yet! and yet so man #of the characters treasures are things that are not coins and gems but people and promises and family and and #im going to EXPLODE i love one piece

Fandom will be like “Arthur wouldn’t have been so bigoted if it wasn’t for [that EVIL Merlin trying to fulfill the prophecies through Arthur to create a long-lasting future for his kin. oh and Uther] the actions of everyone else around him” bro it doesn’t sound like much accountability is being held for one’s own actions :/ bro

#this may scare you but arthur was a bigot before merlin showed up in camelot #before merlin asked him to show kara mercy. and arthur tried to humiliate her instead of just letting go of his pride #you think that merlin prioritizes arthur over magic because you ship them. when the prophecy literally hinges on arthur #he’s not trading freedom over for arthur. he’s trading a short term solution over for the promised long-term one. the golden age. hello #arthur meanwhile believes exactly what he wants to believe. and he is benefitted personally by the ban on magic. it sways his guilt #and his cognitive dissonance. so he stays #you know he was never given an argument for or against magic in 5x05? but he WAS given one DIRECTLY BY MERLIN in 5x09 #Merlin who BELIEVES that Arthur will free them. because he has seen prophecies come true before. and he’s seen Arthur’s potential.#you will blame anyone but the person who actually does it #‘arthur can’t NOT be a bigot! he’s been hurt by magic!’ okay well then uther can’t not be a bigot. we woobifying him too?#no? then don’t apply that logic for arthur either #it’s simple as this: you have to apply the same logic and morality across the board. you can’t make exceptions or have double standards.#fandom critical #arthur critical

Me: I am interested in judaism ONLY. Show me content about jewish life, intellectualism, history, and daily life

The Algorithm, apparently: does this mean you're interested in mormonism... how about jehova's witness............... this is all you'll get recommended by the way

#jumblr #personal thoughts tag #on topic but. there's also been so many mormon missionaries in my town??? are they all coming back from serving mission trips or what......#it's also weird that my town is almost completely xtian but [insert shopping place] had a display specifically for pesach #like ik many xtians have seders and you know what i'm talking about but like...??? ig they tried because they gave out free pesach haggadah #but i think it was solely because they had displays for easter up. look i just thought it was funny considering where we live #but that same store has a small kosher section. as in... well it's got some kosher food #so i really don't know what to make of it because that display is gone (why i think it was more for easter??)#ANYWAY #i'm just confusion 🫰👍#wait on the topic of xtian seders... why??? i never understood that one and my family has never celebrated passover #what would the point be when (from my understanding) such a big part of pesach is the freedom of jews from slavery #and that g-d sent them/us manna. like i admit i don't know everything about pesach but how would an xtian observe it?#because i have heard of that in the past and assumed they were celebrating jesus instead which to me wouldn't be a seder or passover. idk..#also i'm watching one of the videos about mormonism that was recommended to me but. i still watch majority jewish things regardless so????

I'M HERE AGAIN HELLOO HIIIIII :D

question about vandermorgan cuz I'm curious....

do you have any headcanons and how do you see their relationship?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words

#DVL and AMs relationship being a toxic feedback loop built on DVLs dependence on AM and AM seeing DVLs validation as something he needs #it's completely ripe for abuse. AM feels devalued by DVL but consistently puts him and his wants above all else and DVL takes and takes #because he needs his followers and sycophants and dreamers and sons and daughters and lovers and soldiers to make him more than what he is.#He thrived on AMs blind loyalty because it allowed him to indulge his own vain ideal of a rebellious leader championing his idea of freedom #and america and a mans own right to live his life however he pleased when he had someone else willing to die behind it.#I know it's touchy for some but the father/son aspect of their relationship regardless of it serving as another form of control reward and #punishment can't be ignored or minimised. DVL was a patriarchal figure not just to AM but the gang which impacted how they both tried to #define their relationship. It's boring to brush it away to sanitise their dynamic when taken to a romantic/sexual context. GET FREUDIAN NOW #They're like kitten daddy is going to kill himself if he doesnt get his tahiti money 🥺🥺🥺 If you loved me you'd get me a mango farm🥺🥺#Well that's the gist of it... and regarding your other ask: Nah I'm a native English speaker. I don't post art terribly often but thanks! I #want to redraw that old drawing at some point. Idk about good vibes but I'm pretty horizontal if were talking abusive cowboys.#asks #vandermorgan

hey. hey you. yeah, yoU!! the one who actually looks at clothing!!! i request help. i need images of wedding dresses that you think would fit the starter trio [yaku, ed, oli]. pls send images........ of any ideas you have🙏

#i have an image in my brain but in order to draw it i have to look at reference #but i have no interest in staring at clothing #if i were to subject myself to looking at wedding dresses i know exactly what will happen #i will enter the eternal abyss of intricate details and minor differences #things like... collar style. bust style. decorative trim this. sleeve style that.#my research brain will FERVENTLY dig in deeper because it doesn't want to draw some vague generic dress on all 3 #BUT MY LIMIT ON ABSORBING CLOTHING INFORMATION IS SO LOW #so after all that research i'll be so bored and tired that i'll never actually draw the thing #so idk i'm asking the masses to help cover for my weakness here #do you have a dress in mind? something that you just know fits their personality??#the blobs in my head are giving me some version of #yaku in a really well covered dress. ed in that slightly slutty style of his. oli is holy-robe level scandalous #but... artistic freedom means i can subject any of them to whatever level of slutty i desire (regardless of what they would actually choose #doesn't have to be the traditional western white dress but that WAS my initial thought.#hm. well. now i'm thinking of yaku in one of those ridiculous qipao that only fit really skinny people 😰#but the allure of having all three of them wearing the same white dress... buT STYLED DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO PERSONALITY #.......multiple drawings can be made...........

On the topic tho of like. The archons switching up domains, what do you think could be other interesting changes? Like. Zhongli and Eternity vs Erosion, or how contracts could be subsumed by Justice. Similarly- I think Nahida, with her domain of dreams- could honestly be really fun to play with a Freedom domain, considering the irony of a caged god of freedom to parallel Ventis current story. Alternatively- Freedom in the nation of hydro, where they’re cursed because of the flouting of the rules, and Furina is trapped in a centuries long gilded cage- like. There’s interesting things you can do!! -☁️ (hi it’s me again, I forgot to tag the previous backreading one)

oh yeah absolutely, honestly since the game is about solving problems and dealing with Situations, you could reasonable slap freedom onto any nation and find an interesting outcome. like- freedom from the shogun's dicatorial rule, freedom for ei from her own fears and isolation, freedom for nahida from her prison, freedom of knowledge in sumeru, freedom for furina in how she wants to live life, freedom as it is seen by the people of meropide choosing to remain underwater, freedom for the people of fontaine to finally be people as their ancestors wished without celestia dictating what they can and cannot do, freedom for zhongli to retire and live life at his leisure, freedom for the humans of liyue to carve their own path forward on their own two feet (i admit that's the weakest one); and now natlan will probably be freedom to coexist or freedom from violence or freedom from natlan itself since it's closed. snezhnaya, too, could be about freedom: freedom from celestia's rule, freedom from the heavenly principles (or whatever the fatui are doing); same thing for khaenri'ah and the abyss sibling. freedom from fate and to be able to decide your own destiny. at the end of the day any plot with any conflict can include freedom as a motif, so like- yeah, freedom would be the easier to switch around.

as for the others, that would be the more interesting part i think. like you said, contracts and justice, eternity vs erosion (which is already ei's plot so zhongli wouldn't be all that new honestly), wisdom for zhongli too with the whole witnessing history thing. eternity for nahida in the way wisdom perseveres through time but also in the irony of knowledge is beholden to irminsul and knowledge in irminsul is apparently subject to erasure. stuff like that

we'll have to see how we can play around with natlan and snezhnaya. if snezhnaya is about love that could also be really interesting, as you could also feasibly slap it most of everywhere, too.

#funnily enough tho it might be because it's already supposed to be about freedom #but i find mondstadt is the least freedom-y of the nations in its like. plot #like if we ignore the history pre-game and focus on in-game events #like what's the freedom aspect in mondstadt's plot? i know mondstadt's plot is already minuscule at best #unless i'm forgetting smth #but liyue came out at the same time and it has more to do with contracts than mondstadt with freedom #like yeah freeing dvalin from the abyss' control over it.#but by that logic every single nation would be about freedom as well #someone please tell me their take on that actually i'm kinda curious #like in-game plot-wise #what has mondstadt to do with freedom. is it just not noticeable because they're already a free nation and all that? but again #by that logic so too would be fontaine and liyue. unless you want to argue freedom only exists in the absece of their ruling archon #in which case that seems like a surprisingly closed-off definition of freedom. which is ironic #and even then mondstadt seems like not the most free nation despite being the nation of freedom.#mondstadt is the USA all over again

obligatory "Oda thank you for sharing this world with us" post

#fan letter got me sitting down and realizing there will be nothing like THIS in another decade or smth #the scale of the world the portrayal of emotions from side characters we don't know the name of from even the main story to spinoffs #the weight of a character's decisions that can ripple throughout the world and how this is all because of what its built upon already #like. look. i write stories and i think up of fantastical worlds myself but i don't have the opportunity to share it with people #and i know this is the case for some people as well that have entire worlds in their heads but can't get it out for some reason or the othe #so seeing just. someone make theirs of this volume and magnitude is genuinely always so inspiring even from when-#-i watched it as a little kid.#to have something of yours that you so clearly love running for this long because your story managed to capture hearts of SO many ppl that-#-it's not axed in between/urged to rush in any way?????? to have the freedom to tell the story you needed to tell? man.#tldr thank you for making me dream #eiichiro oda #one piece #(“tag heavy” IDCCCC im in my feels leave me alone)
