The thing about the time lords is yeah they’re a super powerful species, it wouldn’t be all that inaccurate to call them gods of time, but you get yourself a time lord and like 70% of the time it’s like oh this is a guy I could kick in the shins really hard and get away with it unscathed
#they are very powerful but few time lords actually seem to know how to use that power (or really even just the idea of that power) outside#of gallifrey and it’s practically unchanging systems of power#like there’s definitely a few that are formidable all on their own#but like take your average time lord out of gallifrey and they’re not much more than a smart and time sensitive some guy#like look at fucking spandrell and engin#or most of the chancellery guard#they don’t actually have any skills/powers outside of the ones placed upon them by gallifrey#get them alone and they’re nothing#the time lords power comes from their reputation and the systems built at the beginning of their society more than like#some sort of time lordness#doctor who#time lords

Willis probably had INSANE dad lore. His mom runs a crime school. He worked for Two Face. He has a secret agent and LADY SHIVA in his phone book. He knew her first name. He was the subject of prison experimentation. I could literally make up anything at all about his life and there would be merit to it. Once you get past the classist writing and mischaracterization Willis is such a simultaneously funny and tragic character.
He's no one. He's got some of the most dangerous people in the world on speed dial. He probably tells dad jokes. He has very likely killed people. He has a bat tattoo to commemorate a fight with Batman. He loved his wife and kid so much he was willing to die for them. He had his death faked, escaped prison, and then took up an identity his son stole from someone else (HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT JASON'S IDENTITY) and lured Jason back to Gotham. Jason still doesn't know Willis's identity. Willis is literally his bodyguard at the iceberg lounge.
#crying shaking throwing up#no one cares about him but he means ao much to me#jason todd#Willis Todd#dc#he's kind of like if Deathstroke had no powers and less skill but loved his family so so much

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself#note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown#when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is#and how much his persona is more an actor#Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so#since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it#and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are#I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja#his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times#not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo#but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters#or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily#it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do#like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero#All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential#likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja#but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse#he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it#Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like#you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

it is so important to me that more people realize the collective nouns for cats include "a pounce" and "a glaring." society cannot heal until we acknowledge this basic truth
#A GLARING!#A GLARING OF CATS!!!#i cannot be the only one who heard this and immediately imagined the Sorority Girls At A Party Turning In Unison To Glare At You meme#but with CATS#wish i had the artistic/photoshop skills necessary to articulate this#but for now i will enjoy basking in the warmth of the mental image#imagine you're in a room full of cats and they turn in unison to side eye you#i would fall on my ass in fear and horror i think#would be very beautiful. very powerful.#A Glaring of Cats

Gandalf said ‘do not offer me that’, Galadriel said ‘I would be a queen, great and terrible,’ but Elrond said ‘get that the fuck away from me’ and this is nonsensical.
The other keepers of the elven rings were most challenged by the One, why not Elrond? Is his struggle merely hidden? Is it his Maia blood? Is it simply his mixed blood? Is that why Aragorn withstood, too?
Canonically the race of men are most easily corrupted, yet Elrond half-elven, who is almost 40% man, doesn’t notably bat an eyelash. Why?
#Probably by virtue of his strange upbringing Elrond received a measure of every talent there is to be given#everything from the magic of his foremother Luthien to the supreme skill and knowledge of his foster fathers.. which makes him remarkable#But what does that make him compared to Sauron? Elrond is obviously Special with a capital S#One goes so far as to say he is the weapon the entire first age was about forging; he and elros#And in Arwen almost every ethnic group of elves and men ever finally converge#And in some time perhaps Eriol is the final descendant of this line#but that’s a different myth#Yet I can’t help but feel its essential to understanding the resounding movement of Tolkien’s pieces#however unfinished they may be..#Anyway#lotr#lotr fotr#lord of the rings#the council of elrond#Elrond#elrond peredhil#Tolkien#jrr tolkien#silm references#Silm#lotr headcanons#middle earth#lotr hc#tolkien headcanons#tolkien lore#elven rings of power#Etc.

To be part of something big.
#I have the power to make angst of characters nobody else cares about#I've been thinking about that one dimple dialogue on the divine tree arc#about how mezato in the end only wanted to be part of something bigger than herself#doesn't she see herself as someone relevant? or at least worthy of attention?#it kind of reminds me of how reigen wanted to be “someone”#but contrary to reigen it seems like mezato doesn't see herself as someone who can be “big” on her own right#and rather associates relevance with being part of something. this way her efforts would be recognized at least indirectly?#based on article examples on the fanbook mezato takes the school journal way more seriously than the other members of it#and considering how dedicated and singleminded she can be about what she finds interesting...#having your efforts devalued or even ignored must take a toll on the self image of someone like her#people see her skill yet never care about what she actually enjoys and is passionate about. but it DOES mean something for her#I have mezato thoughts.#mp100#mob psycho 100#mp100 fanart#ichi mezato#mezato ichi#lalarts

Transformers One Incorrect Quotes (4)
Orion: So, you gave us the ability to transform. I'm sure you made some thoughtful adjustments, nothing too major. Alpha Trion: Bee has knife hands. Orion: He's a kid! Have you seen his energy? Alpha Trion: *shrugs* Orion: Well, I guess that's not the worst thing. Alpha Trion: Alpha Trion: D-16 is a tank. Orion: WHAT? You literally witnessed his mediocre anger management skills. Do you know how many ways that could go wrong?? Alpha Trion: *flinches* Orion: *groans* Orion: At least tell me you gave Elita and I the ability to defend ourselves, too. Alpha Trion: Well, you have guns, but they're really tiny, and they can only be used in vehicle form. Orion: I'm going to kill you. Alpha Trion: Oh, look at that... the enemy is breaking in! Better take care of it and I'm sure I'll probably die anyway haha... NOW GO!

Enki S Ending: God Blocking Gambit
#fear and hunger#enki ankarian#rher#fear and hunger spoilers#He showed up in the ugliest outfit ever and still served cunt.#Everything about him is so indirectly funny to me.#He canceled his own crucifixion to make sure *he* was the blonde bitch of the non-specific prophecy!#The old gods are running a gambit of trapping humanity in a perpetual timeloop? Just say “Um. No <3”#“Humanity will always be tempted by power and will be tricked into false godhood.” Skill issue.#(Yes I know rher isn't there in the first game but I needed one of the old gods in this comic and...he is the easiest to draw.)#Part of me wants to keep going and sillify the other S endings. Much to think about.

NOT to cheapen a beautiful and very emotional scene but I love that Vader just tossed Sidious over a safety railing. You’re so right king he DOSEN’T deserve a climactic 10-minute lightsaber-force-lava-showdown-duel like Obi-Wan did
#this was the final duel that had been prophesied for CENTURIES#I don’t think any ghost Jedi would be ‘disappointed’ in the way it played out considering the context#BUT. if any prequel-era character found out that Anakin would one day defeat the dark by chucking a Sith Lord down an energy well#they’d be like. Yeh. Yeah that tracks#considering the sheer amount of power and skill Anakin possesses I just think it’s funny#star wars#anakin skywalker#Darth Vader#Darth Sidious#sheev palpatine#rotj#return of the Jedi#obi wan kenobi#obi-wan Kenobi

Sects and Clans in MDZS.
I think I wrote something on this a while ago, but just to put it out there again - there are barely any mentions or much of an existence of SECTS in the actual novel. This is a huge mistranslation that is in both the ExR and 7Seas versions of the story.
This is actually an important story point because of the difference between sects and clans.
SECTS are based on personal merit and performance. The strongest lead and are given the important roles in managing the sect. This system is more like a school, where it doesn't matter what background you came from.
CLANS on the other hand, are based on bloodline and lineage. The offspring of the current mainline clan member who leads will take over when the time comes. It does not matter if they are weak or incompetent, whoever is next in line will become clan leader. This system is more like a royal family, where privilege and state are prevalent.
All of the so-called "sects" in MDZS are actually clans and are called as such in the Chinese text. It's the Lan Clan, the Wen Clan and so on. It's a really important part of MXTXs story because it shows us right from the start what WWX was up against. The world he is a part of is extremely classist, they look down upon those who don't have a certain name, status or bloodline.
It also shows us just how hard WWX actually worked to be ranked 3rd in the young masters of his generation! To have been awarded such a place, it meant people actually overlooked his status to award him on his looks and skills alone. It shows us just how hypocritical the cultivation world can be. When everyone bought into the rumours JFM treated WWX like his own (which he didn't, but we see others assumed as such) everyone treated him as a young master or as close to that as they would allow him to be. The minute JFM is dead and they see the way JC treats him, they all begin to disrespect him and turn against him.
The only mention of a sect throughout the whole entire novel is the one XXC and SL planned to form. I guess you could also classify what BSSR has on her secluded mountaintop as a sect, since there is no bloodline dictating a hierarchy. But overall, it is a huge fandom misconception that it is the Lan sect and Jiang sect - they are clans and it's incredibly important to the entire plot.
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#mdzs novel#its clans not sects#they are ran in entirely different ways#one on merit and one on bloodline#you don't have to be skilled to be a clan leader#if they were sects... some of the current clan leaders wouldn't be in power by a longshot

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:
#rottmnt#tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#no but really#I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats#like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti??#yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners?#donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead#raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers-#but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS?#and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human-#but her crane license is where it’s really at#(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE)#honorable mentions in this regard go moments like#donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise#or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight#and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT#Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd#Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just#basically they’re all so capable????#and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments#love them sm
