#regression or evolution

"WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE SHOWS

If we operate with the premise of "the demon takes over and sets up shop", the actual philosophical and psychological discussions of the show become moot. There's no need for 'Angel The Series' because Angel isn't responsible for 150 years of carnage. Some random demon is. Spike should regain his soul in Season 7 and go "wait, who are YOU people?" because he's just returned to his own body. But that's never how the show treats it when it matters. Both shows are, in many ways, extended metaphors and extended allegories. The only times it's referred to as some external source are from the mouths of people who've had no experience being vampires, using a, frankly, really understandable excuse to explain something that's otherwise pretty heartbreaking. If it's just some random vampire going 'hey, these guys had mad mommy/daddy issues, let me replicate that," the entire show becomes profoundly less compelling."

Five By Five Takes slaying it once again with their Buffyverse analyses. This is exactly what I mean by how it's pointless Angel has a whole ass redemption story if his choice and agency and consciousness is taken away from him when he loses his soul and it gets restored again. First of all - what does that entail? And second of all - what is to learn from it? What's the moral behind the condition of nonconsenually giving over your identity to a demon? Five By Five Takes brilliantly explains why Buffy and Angel becomes so much more worth watching and re-watching when that black and white demon/vampire/monster lore just disappears from the then-narrative and the lines between good and evil start blurring. Because if all I got from it was demonic possession, I'd have dropped 'BtVS' in the trash ages ago with all the rest of the black and white rubbish. Instead - it's become one of my all-time favourite TV shows. And despite its inconsistencies in its lore and world-building writing, it still manages to thoroughly capture my heart, mind and soul. And it's precisely because they discarded the initial premise of "a vampire isn't a person at all" bullshit Giles regurgitates in eariy Season 1. it's precisely because they blur the lines on all of that why I give a shit to watch it and to continue watching it. To engage in and interact with it. If all I could get out of it is "there's no half-way", I wouldn't be here now. I really don't care if the lore is wonky. I just want a compelling story with excellent character representation and development.

elle greenaway as your cg,,,

yayyyy elle :33 sorry this is short!!

- she absolutely loves it when you call her mama, she’ll never ever get enough of it

- very protective cg,,, if anyone even looks at you funny she’s onto them

- she looks at you with that “you’re in trouble” face when you’re acting up 😭

- when she reads to you, especially before bed, her voice is so soft and hushed it puts to sleep almost immediately

- she always knows what you want, even when you’re in babyspace

*whine*

“awww, what does my baby want? you want your blankie?” she gives it to you and you’re completely content

- the rest of the bau love little you, and elle takes you to see them occasionally

- they want to pick you up and baby you, and elle turns into the clingiest mama ever

“c’mere, sweetie. you wanna come to your uncle derek?”

“ah-ah, hands off, morgan. this little one’s all mine today.”

i fully believe that isagi can adapt to anything and evolve to suit whatever environment he's placed within, but this isn't a good thing, you know? if he can adapt to any situation easily, it means he can adapt out of the individual he was before, too— it means, if he once learned that "having a reproducible formula for goals is important," he can adapt out of that person when it no longer serves his short-term goal. if isagi can evolve infinitely that means he can always become worse than he is, less than he is, for the sake of surviving within one specific environment

originally evolution didn't mean "improvement" in the abstract, it just meant better survival within a certain space. blue lock may want the reader to think of "evolution" as "improvement" but in my mind, ubers match (and early pxg match) exists to prove that this isn't the case— evolution just means change to survive within an environment, and change isn't always positive. and isagi is someone who can always change himself to suit his environment

(segue for my hotd ramblings)

Has there been any fanfic of princess Visenya (Rhaenyra's youngest) that lived from her infancy that retained her dragon like features and soon it doesn't stop there?

She becomes more and more draconic. It's not just the silver scales, soon its tiny nubs on her forehead that become horns, bony protrusions at the back that becomes wings and a tail-

Rhaenyra wishes she stays in her chambers but Daemon brings her into the dragonpits when she grows thrice her size and she has stopped speaking at all.

She doesn't crave for her mother's milk but raw meat and for the skies.

Basically truly becoming one with their dragon kin.

I decided to watch Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna recently, partly due to the new TCG set coming out, but also just cause I like the movie 😊

I have some complaints but overall I really like the movie, and Menoa is kind of a comfort character to me, so I wanted to draw her again 🥰

little jennifer jareau hcs!!

she’s absolutely adorable she’s just a baby everyone leave her alone

- her little age is 0-2, she’s just a little baby :((

- elle is her cg but she also feels safe with hotch and penelope

- she’s very attached to her paci, but elle eventually convinces her to let her mouth rest

“mama,, paci.”

“sweetie, you gotta take a break from your paci for a while.”

“mmmm :((“

- doesn’t really like interactive toys, just her stuffies and rattles

- watches stuff like winnie the pooh and kipper when she’s little

- big bro derek !!!!!!! he’s probably a big part of her regression too, he’s definitely the chaotic older brother cg 😭

- she has a blankie on the jet but a personal blankie she uses as well (it’s white with little pink stars on it)

- always needing naps,,, the sleepiest babygirl

- getting picked up from hotch all the time (all she has to do is look up at him with her big blue eyes)

*whiny* “papa, uppie.”

“okay, shhh,,, c’mere, sweetie.”

- such a cuddly baby, especially when she’s sleepy
