Zim, Dib, Gaz, and Tak are actually all horribly vindictive spiteful people to more or less equal degrees, but the interesting thing is that Zim and Gaz both exact vengeance in very specific, premeditated ways, which are often wildly out of proportion but once they feel like they've evened the score they will pretty much immediately forget about whatever pissed them off in the first place—whereas Dib and Tak are both ostensibly above being ruled by petty grudges, but very obviously boiling over with a constant resentment that sends them pouncing like rabid dogs at even the slightest opportunity or excuse to make the object of their ire suffer (and if they're both working towards their own self-serving end game that just HAPPENS to involve every terrible thing imaginable befalling their enemies, well... that'll just be a happy by-product of their personal success).

I don't I have any point to make here, I just like it when these freaks are all an overwhelming danger to society (and each other)

Going to college as a nontraditional student with an office job is kinda funny bc now when a professor messes things up in a way that fucks me over instead of being like "omg this authority figure is so unfair 😭" I'm approaching it more with the vibe of like "if Karen from Accounting doesn't fix this mistake that's hindering my work after my third passive aggressive email I'm going to CC her boss"

Callum has asked Rayla twice now to kill him if he's ever corrupted again. This time as like a barter. And this time, despite looking devastated, she finally (begrudgingly) agrees. And later this season, Callum is cleared of his dark magic corruption, but it also warned that if he does dark magic again it'll overwhelm him.

Man my dreams have already been haunted enough by death foreshadowing I can't take much more of it for these two.

Do you think the idea of severance came from Harmony's own desire to be free of the grief and ties to the labor they endured at that Factory?

♥️ ((totally not baiting you for more Maria discourse))

Oh noes an ask about my controversial views on the most popular character with the most rabid fanbase~ and i cant help but respond to it~ such a tragedyyyy

❤️ Which character do you think is egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Mariaaaaaa. In fact her mischaracterization is so bad that if i didn't latch on her BEFORE interacting with the fandom she wouldve been one of those characters i would be aggressively disliking

I just... hate fandom maria lmao. On a vacuum she is fine (eh. Kinda. She just falls into the fandom typical stereotype of the only girl in the group being the sane one/cool one with no other depth than that or kissing adeline/ maybeeee sometimes being sad for the genocide/human experimentation), but when compared to what the game shows us she just makes me mad. Fandom maria is not canon maria. Its just a random girl with swords and most generic tropes about girl with swords.

Fandom maria cannot have flaws, actually, you see. She cannot be someone who was sucked i the cycle of brutality and gleefully continued it only to realize what she was doing AFTER the situation became unsalveagable and then jump ship trying to remedy it and making things worse for anyone. Nope! Cant have any of that! God forbid female characters to have actual depth. Maria NEEDS to be the cool female hunter that is the voice of reason. She NEEDS to be the cool girlboss that always opposes Laurence's wrongdoings to the point where you ask yourself why even she is the head of the research hall if every interaction she has with him is telling him you and your plans suck. Cant be complicit in anything ever.

You see! She was the token good member of the research hall for giving adeline the key! Nevermind that she experimented on adeline (and many others) to death.

You see! The fishing hamlet massacre was justified because they were mutated!

You see! She is actually the real hero while due to her regret she actively upholds the nightmare and makes innocent people suffer more!

This is not a character. Its a cardboard cutout that can be used only and only when making her kiss with adeline, whose fanon potrayal is also as shallow as a puddle and might as well be renamed to y/n.

And like. God. Swinging the bat against an hornet nest with this take but the fact that the people who are the most adamant, the most rabid, the most likely to harass people over this headcanon do that because in their mind is feminist makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Taking a complex female character that kinda sucked and removing all of her flaws to give a shiny unproblematic "girlboss" version of her isn't feminist at all. In fact its quite misogynistic.

Anyways, thanks for the ask! Got super salty with this one, but mariacourse gets my gears grinding (esp since she's my favourite character)

BUT STILL. ON THIS REPLAY W THAT BLACK SHARD SWORD??? first time babey!

I was out here just "Wow I should color this so they know I'm gonna put air Jordans on Kugisaki Nobara fortnite tomorrow" then I didn't and just slapped some random shit on. She looks nice though.

[princescar]

WHAT? He MADE the machine(⬇️)??

wow... women in stem...

"I made a machine that can restore memories" x "I thought if I heat it up it would un-freeze"

which makes the warning he gives Ryoko about breaking it INFINITELY more funnier with the context that Junko is ass with tech. he is NOT taking any chances

[daemon-in-my-head]

I'll never be over Sally calling her own son a dreadful child or saying she should've ended him before he was even born. I don't give a single flying fuck about the crimes he's committed (at least in this context). Nobody should talk about their child like that. And you know this absolutely vile woman probably told him this and much worse shit straight to his face. She said all that shit to a small kid that was presumably still innocent at that point. Aka, she most likely told her child it would be better if he were dead. Aka, she told her kid to kill himself. A FUCKING CHILD. And thx to the Belladonna lying around in their kitchen, I'm still convinced she tried to kill Gortash once he came back.

'Sold him cuz they needed money' my ass. You made your own kid, the person you were supposed to protect, pay for your own fuck ups and debts and mistakes and send him straight to hell. LITERALLY. FOR SOMETHING HE HAD NO FAULT IN. AND THEN THIS THING HAD THE AUDACITY TO TRY ND KILL HIM.

The absolute hatred and disgust I have for this fictional woman. I despise Bhaals A+ parenting, but this woman is worse than the fucking lord of murder. Imagine being more loathsome than an evil deity whose whole bit is goddamm murder and death. I swear to fucking god-

[anime-villian-irl]

I fucking hate it when I'm looking for how to celebrate things while in the "broom closet" and they're like "just celebrate don't have shame in your faith just do it" like no nigga I will get fucking disowned , I will get taken to church forcibly. If I "celebrate without shame" there will be nothing good waiting for me. I love my faith and my gods and I want to celebrate but gods know I can't.

So God fucking damnit give me advice on how to celebrate without my mom finding out.

[animentality]

I know it's a fact of life and all, but it does give me the heebie jeebies, knowing there's someone out there whose job is to masturbate male pigs so they can ship off semen to artificially inseminate sows.

Like I get it... it's just...like...business, circle of life, this is how the meat industry is efficient in how it breeds livestock, but...

I'm trying to imagine someone whose job it is to masturbate a caged pig, and it's like...

Hm.

I hope they pay them...something good.

Also I wonder if like...female pigs ever feel super weird about being artificially inseminated.

Like they know it's not natural.

I assume.

And then I think, well, what about the male pigs?

They probably know it's not natural either, being jerked off in a cage by some human.

What is going through their heads during all this...

[quietwingsinthesky]

i stand by the fact that thief (2014) wasn't a very good game but it did have a cutscene in the very last chapter that i keep thinking about. like one of those tiny moments in a game that rewrites your brain. and i can't even describe exactly why, it's such a small moment, but i keep thinking about it.

the only isolated version of it i can find is here, which comes without the subtitles, but what she says is "Everyone said I was bad, that I corrupted the Primal. Well. I'd hate to disappoint."

and i just keep thinking about it. erin, her name's erin btw, has at this point spent a year in captivity, drugged into unconsciousness, tortured, experimented on, while various men in power try to extract this power out of her to use it for their own ends. this thing she does here, we know it happens ambiently to people over time from exposure to her. this is the first and only time we see her actively fuck someone up like this, destroy their mind and body in a way that's almost. casual. with just a touch, moving on past them. and i keep thinking about this moment. about her being told for a year that she's the source of corruption, that without her this power would be pure. useful. about her finally being conscious enough to do something with this thing that's been an excuse to hurt her for months and accepting it as truth that she did corrupt it but that means it's hers to use, now, and hers to destroy people with and hers to protect herself with. "i'd hate to disappoint."

[godlygivenanxiety]

you’re so real for that peacetime au jilco post,, i will admit i think the fact they added that half baked au to canon in the first place is bullshit. but setting the annoyance aside, there’s potential there for some really interesting jilco

one thing that could be fun is seeing what their dynamic is like when they have external limits: canon jinx&silco exist in their own little bubble with nobody who gives a fuck what they are and what they do with each other, and they have no external reasons to take a step back besides the fear of abandonment/ruining what they have and silco’s inevitable self vitriolic guilt spiral.

but in the everyone’s-happy-au they’re a. less deranged, and b. surrounded by actual reference points for what healthy relationships should be, which would up the taboo factor. and there would be consequences if anyone caught on that they were fucking. both of them (but mainly silco because he would be perceived as predatory) would risk losing their carefully crafted little life and family and the things that let them be so content.

but with it being riskier and them having to fight harder to actually have each other, i also think things could be softer between them? one of the fun and less healthy bits about canon!jilco is the way he encourages her to be crueler and sharper. but underlying the way he shapes her into a monster like him and urges her to lean into that vicious anger, the primary goal behind it is he wants her to be the best she can be. canon!silco sees an unchained and focused monster as the ideal. it’s what he wishes he still was. and he sees all of jinx’s potential to be better than him and to be everything he couldn’t. she is literally synonymous with zaun to him until he finally learns that she is the priority over zaun. she’s the embodiment of his dreams.

and in the au, powder still has all that potential and the spark burning in her. she’s stifled by the same fear she has in canon, but without silco pushing her to lean into and weaponize being a jinx, the fear manifested differently. it inverted and now she doesn’t try anything or explore her ideas for fear of jinxing it. multiversal ekko didn’t have time to convince her of her full potential beyond a few cryptic sentences, but i think the softer and less sharp-edged silco would be able to. he could be able to help her overcome the fear in a different, less destructive way, that would probably leave both of them happier than they ever got the chance to be in canon.

i would love to hear your opinions on them or any thoughts you have on how au jilco could go, there’s so many possibilities there

YOU GET IT YOU GET IT DING DING DING

something i love about Silco with Jinx is that he BELIEVES in her so so soooo much, and i feel robbed of it with the Good Timeline because we barely see him, but i just know that even if he IS a man without a grudge, he's still much more similar to jinx than Vander will ever be- and i have my... theories, about when Vander and Silco made peace (after Vi died and Vander's family was in a more fragile state, i assume? and i do think it was Vander's initiative to forgive and forget), well how could Silco even begin to help the family heal? perhaaaaaaaps giving more attention to the little girl that just missed her big sister? perhaps because when the girl's parents died, he also lost friends? perhaps because he wasn't a father to them, but he empathized with the loss of a loved one regardless of circumstance?

perhaps Vander even failed to look Powder in the eye at first, and Silco helped, in his own way. therefore, he's not Anybody in Powder's mind but a kind older man that helped her through the toughest time, even if he had no obligation to. who cares what he had been doing before becoming part of their family? Powder never cared much for rights and wrongs as strongly as her sister, and well... we count our blessings, don't we?

THERE'S SO MUCH THAT COULD HAPPEN!!!! especially when talking about Powder's potential as an inventor, i just KNOW that Silco would encourage it, and oh, imagine her not only afraid of exploding something but of hurting Silco... god, what if she makes her own version of HexTech to help her people, what if Silco himself sponsors it, what if they meet at her lab and have their first kiss while he's praising her blueprints and she asks to the sanctuary of her big sister if she's going insane for how she feels and cringes at her sister 'seeing' them kiss- what if she feels the same rush of making something work when she's around Silco, who doesn't just tell her to think of herself but shows her how, that tells her she's as charming and efficient as a leader should be (and she never thought herself a leader, no, but it does make her heart beat faster, nobody ever told her to lead anything)...

AAAAAAAAA I JUST WANT IT SO BAD
