w.i.t.c.h. as genshin impact

both have been on the brain recently and let's be so real: w.i.t.c.h. could fit in the realm of genshin i bet so thanks to picrew i made the w.i.t.c.h. girlies. i didn't do elyon or orube since i wasn't sure which of the visions would suit them best but if you have any recs lemme know :)

WILL VANDOM:

Electro, 5-star (all w.i.t.c.h. girlies are 5-star), Sword, Monstadt

IRMA LAIR:

Hydro, 5-star, Bow, Natlan

TARANEE COOK:

Pyro, 5-star, Catalyst, Sumeru

CORNELIA HALE:

Dendro (could also be Geo), 5-star, Claymore, Fontaine

HAY LIN:

Anemo, 5-star, Polearm, Liyue

Elyon (and Caleb) would DEFINITELY be Khaenri'ahn - long-lost kingdom in shambles, unknown whether it's still existing? Talk about Meridian-core lol. Orube would be Inazuman - she's kinda giving Kujou Sara vibes??

That's all i got tho have fun with that.

ALSO the show draws a very clear line between how Ed acts when he's upset and processes his emotions and how Blackbeard acts when he's gone off the deep end.

Ed repeatedly retreats, hides himself somewhere safe, and tries to process his feelings of inadequacy and hurt. we see it when he hides in Stede's bathtub, when he hides in the blanket fort, when he leaves dinner at Mary and Anne's to curl up on the sofa under a blanket. FURTHERMORE we see Ed post-Kraken turn in s1 and in the first episodes of s2 crying alone in the captain's cabin, sighing wistfully over the wedding cake toppers, and just generally being a sad little lump of a man who is hurting

the violence Blackbeard displays is only ever in public, performative. He cuts Izzy's toe off in s1 to announce his return to this aggressive, violent persona that Izzy has demanded of him. He pushes the crew to violently raid ships and gets in Frenchie's face to intimidate him and shoots Izzy and makes Archie and Jim fight each other. and part of that is him pushing them to kill him in a way he can't bring himself to do (he always outsources the big job), but it's very important to remember that the way Ed reacts to being left by Stede and the way Blackbeard is being violent and traumatizing the crew are two different things entirely.

one is a reaction to being left by the man he loves and feeling unlovable, and the other is the direct result of being told he needs to be a monster and an extended performance of being that monster (and way of shielding himself from the threat to himself Izzy presents at the end of s1).

Ed and Stede are both men desperate to be seen and understood for who they are and not what people have told them to be. Stede tries to create a pirating environment that embraces softness and talking about your feelings, but he's still so caught up in running from himself and his problems that he has to go home and fix things with his family before he can truly live that way. Ed is suffering and feels like a monster because he's been told his only worth is being this fearsome pirate persona, and being that thing hurts, so he makes sure everyone else becomes that thing and hurts along with him.

it's not until the final episode that Ed realizes being a fearsome thing doesn't have to hurt, being capable of violence doesn't mean you are a monster, sometimes it's a thing you are (a thing you do) to protect the ones you love. you're not a dick, life's a dick; you're not your father just because you're capable of violence, you're a man who has something worth fighting for

another petty thing that bothers me about acotar on a technical level is that all of the characters sound the same- none of them have fun or unique speech patterns, nothing special to distinguish them from each other. like I really wish I could describe it better but it all just feel….. early 2000’s fanfic writers idea of “sophisticated” speech. idk if that makes much sense but it’s writing 101 that you can’t have your characters all sounding the same because it’s just boring, it makes your characters feel lifeless like the cardboard cutouts you’re trying to elevate them from

[euripidestrousers]

AU idea where it's Eddie Brock and Venom except it's Remus Lupin barely containing the wolf who just wants to eat raw rabbit, commit a little murder, go for a run, pee on a tree maybe. The wolf is belligerent, morally grey, and adorable. Remus is tired.

These are some diabolical ingredients but i fear I'm not the right chef

Is this what Happiness is?

- hey so I haven't seen an interpretation of the bar scenes in Half that I fully agree with, so I wanted to throw my own two cents out there into the void and pray that it makes sense !!!

so, in the bar scenes in Half we see what I interpret as a hangout with old friends (or, hangout with old friend + his wife.) These scenes used to be the biggest piece of evidence for the cheater theory, but now that that's been debunked by the man himself, I have a new way of looking at them

~ before I go any further, I just wanted to say that I'll be calling the brown-haired woman whiskey for simplicity's sake

In this scene, Kazui turns to look at Whiskey, saying the lyrics:

"laughing together, side by side, this distance in our relationship is misleading me, is this what happiness is?"

With my guess (cuz that's really what it is there's no evidence for it) that Whiskey is the Bartender's wife i think this scene is Kazui being conflicted with what he's been told is true, that marrying Hinako is "true love", versus what he feels is true, that marrying Hinako has brought distance into their relationship.

He looks at Whiskey, a woman happily married, and wonders why his relationship with Hinako isn't like that.

~ shout out to @prisoner-000 for the following screenshot

in this post he points out that Hinako and Kazui's rings are silver in Cat, not gold like they were in Half, yet Bartender's ring colour stays the same.

For the sake of this writing I'm going to go with the first meaning they put out, that Bartender's ring is gold because his marriage is genuine.

But wait!! I hear you ask. This is Half and Kazui's ring is still gold in Half!! EXACTLY MY FRIEND!!

Kazui's ring IS still gold in Half because at the time of these scenes he's still fooling himself that this relationship is good, that he will eventually garner real romantic feelings for Hianko.

"laughing together, side by side, this distance in our relationship is misleading me, is this what happiness is?"

Remember this lyric that plays during the Whiskey -> Hinako scene. You know what other scene in Half this lyric reminds me of?

laughing together, side by side,

this distance in our relationship is misleading me,

is this what happiness is?

He's beginning to doubt if what he believes is true, he's beginning to believe the feelings telling him something's wrong (and remember, the scene right after this one is when he confesses (?) his secret to Hinako) ARE infact true, and that maybe the logic he's been following for so long has a couple holes in it.

I think these scenes are meant to show Kazui gradually realising that his relationship with Hinako will not work out. It just won't, no matter how hard he tries.

He's able to laugh together and talk with Whiskey because she's his friend, yet he can't do the same with his own wife? Even though, according to his gold ring, their relationship is supposed to be real and true and genuine?

[what-even-is-sleep]

thinking about Bodkin again bc I mean,,, ALL THE SYMBOLISM OHHHHHGH. i NEED some tumblr film analysis hobbyists to watch this show and tell me all the themes n such

[jonsnowunemploymentera]

You think Jon and Jaime are overrated? You think they don’t deserve to be liked or popular? How groundbreaking. No one in the history of mankind has ever thought that. Should we throw a party? Should we invite Catelyn Stark? 🙄

[leafn0t]

No

NO

I don't like where this going at all!!!

I actually hate it!

[frnkiebby]

I hope we all agree

i am 100% on board~🎃

[kiynania]

so how abt some sidekick swap.

little sketches

*proceeds to give everyone more trauma*

i don't know if I want this to be two separate aus or just one au. i have 3 separate ideas for each au idk which one i want.

[purplebluepen45]

I ws inspired by @saltwaterflower 's tweet about some fontcest shippers bashing frans shippers and I can't have that. So here's a drawing because the idea of these three in love is such a sweet idea.

A little bonus (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Also, Sans deserves all the love Papyrus and Frisk are showering at him. I will die on this hill no matter what

[ropebunnykant]

i say this with all the love in my heart as someone that also enjoyed buck and tommy together, but if y’all genuinely thought they were endgame, you may be a little delusional
