You’re telling me a scum saved this villain

Cosplay of zhang qiling张起灵 (nickname xiaoge小哥) from dao mu bi ji 盗墓笔记 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles by xu lei, one of the most beloved characters (paper people) in chinese fandoms (the coser is 小杰), and the book was written in 2006 and isn't finished yet and is still being serialized. Chinese fans voted for "which character from books you consider that won't affect your feelings and impression of her/him/them at all, no matter how badly the movie or TV version fails" and "The character that most convinced you they were real", and zhang qiling won the first place. Many book fans think the only successful live-action zhang qiling is cast by xiao yuliang肖宇梁 in Ultimate Note终极笔记.

A navy blue hoodie, black pants, boots, an ancient chinese dao, and a qilin麒麟 tattoo have become his trademark.

Of the TWST cards you own, which is your favorite (or favorites of you can't decide)?

(not that I'm still salty over that, nope, no way)

seriously though, this turned out to be harder to answer than I thought! I did actually manage to pull Stitch Lilia (THANK YOU TWSTFEST for the free bonus keys!) and he's absolutely adorable, I've literally been doing random battles just to watch him surf around and high-five Stitch. a fine addition to the Lilia collection!

in terms of proudest/most unbelievable achievement, that is 100% when I somehow managed to pull every single Scary Monsters card except one (only missing Rook!). I think I used up all my luck on that one, but at least it was for the Halloween cards! (after Scary Monsters and Glorious Masquerade, I'm so afraid of what this year's Halloween event is going to be, what if they look amazing how am I supposed to save my keys nooooo)

if I REALLY have to pick one, though...there is actually one card that I think I would call my favorite! he just makes me happy every time I look at him. :>

i know that disney is too big to boycott effectively but that shouldn't translate to "and so we should keep buying their products like normal" but rather "at the very least we should try"

Headcannon that Leo’s mom died on March the 14th because how devastating would that be, given how much he loves Archimedes, that his mom died on Pi Day?

Aside from the aesthetics and optics making one look good cop and the other bad cop- what do you think of the different approaches of altruism Batman and superman are?

Like what do I think are their different approaches? Or what do I think of their different approaches?

I think, in terms of altruism, they have the same approach haha. A focus on rehabilitation and redemption. On love and forgiveness. Both capture criminals and offer them ways to turn away from the sordid pasts. Neither exacts justice on their own. Both leave their captures to the authorities and due process.

They have no differences in their approaches to altruism. Their approaches to vigilantism on the other hand.

Clark seems to focus more on just stopping the act as it happens, but of course he can do that as a superhero who is fast, strong, and indestructible. Clark can also then rely totally on being this big shining target of goodness that inspires some criminals to lay down their arms peacefully and can easily handle the ones who don’t.

Bruce isn’t so lucky. He’s a human and he needs to rely on his human skills and wits to keep himself alive and bring down crime. How does he do it? He makes himself out to be a monster that preys only on the wicked. You have to seem pretty dark and terrifying to pull that off, but it keeps him safe and keeps the dangerous off the streets when they think someone even more dangerous is prowling them.

So, yeah, the optics make it seem like Bruce and Clark have wildly different approaches, but they really don’t, that’s why they’re best friends haha
