Appleseed PDA montage to save you from reading endless pages of unimportant politics that don't amount to anything
also because I have nothing better to do, I'm bored, I'm moody, my gaming laptop is still broken so no BG3, and it's too late at night to start drawing after doing animation clean-up all day.
#Manga#Appleseed#Shirow Masamune#80s#This is literally every single one of these moments in the entirety of the manga's run#including bonus material#There's some great character writing hidden among all the infodumping and technobabble as well#But like I said before all it accomplishes is to make you frustrated#Because despite being written so well#Masamune was more interested in waxing philosophical than actually giving his characters the attention they deserve#Despite them displaying an insane amount of depth and complexity whenever they are able to#it's a very rare case where the characters are EXTREMELY well written and almost every moment they are on screen is amazingly well done#But the manga keeps demanding you listen to completely different side characters talk about politics for endless pages#while at the same time none of these politics have any consequence or relevance to the actual stories that happen on screen.#So it ends up with the majority of the manga is like listening to some guy you don't know on the bus reading the headlines of a newspaper#at you about political tension between two countries you have never heard of and will never feature in your life again#How do you write such great and well written characters and then be completely disinterested in actually putting them on screen?????

Empress and her Bodyguard.
(OCs, grey haired lady Zaphira she/her, demon Shargon he/they)
(also some details up close)
and this guy bc i find him funny
#ganondoodles#art#digital art#painting#artists on tumblr#ocs#original character#look i had to call it quits at some point#so if i waited anylonger to post it in whatever form of finished it was i would have lost interest and would never have posted it so#here it is#also you guys get more info#zaphira is the empress of the largest land in this world and conquered most of it in her youth#she used to be obsessed with war bc she wanted to prove herself to be the strongest ruler there was after the violent death of her-#adopted parents#she grew to see that that isnt the way in part bc of her lover at that time who was a general in her army#but she died in that battle and since then zaphira has been trying to rebuild whatever she destroyed and give back what she can#but she is still very hated and couldnt leave her palace for the longest time bc of assassins until she heard of a demon lurking around#and sought him out to be her bodyguard bc who would dare attack her when shes got a demon at her side#this is her arriving at the palace of another country whos leader challegned her to a fist fight bc he thought shes frail and old#(its an assassination attempt- she knows that)

The absolute hilarious thing (not really) is that I genuinely think they tried to make it so we’d feel bad for Buck and be pissed at Tommy. But they screwed that up so badly by making Tommy incredibly likable and flawed and sad and lonely, and making Buck so he kinda worships Tommy and the ground he walks on without ever seeing beneath the “cool” exterior. So you’re left understanding Tommy’s reasoning a little bit (even through flawed writing) and you’re desperate to see how it impacts him.
Maybe it’s just how much Lou put into every single fucking scene he did throughout his run, maybe his little micro expressions and unscripted touches added to all of it, I don’t know. All I know is, I’ve seen Buck’s circle of emotions so many times, and I’m far more interested in seeing things through Tommy’s eyes, whether they ever got back together or not.
#bucktommy#911#tommy kinard#evan buckley#lou ferrigno jr#that’s what my fic is for I guess#I’ll never understand why tv shows create side characters that are far more interesting than mains#and then treat them like nothing

with everything that has happened in arcane today I want to take a second to appreciate all the new relationships and connections the show has established. It’s so great to see different characters interact that haven’t before, like Mel giving Caitlyn her condolences and talking to Jayce about her, Ambessa and Caitlyn interacting which has so much potential and the Heimerdinger-Ekko-Jayce-trio is great as well! Especially after the last season we were so used to characters only staying in their little bubble (Silco, Jinx, Sevika or Cait, Vi or Jayce,Viktor, Mel for example) but now that they are branching out we get to see so many cool and interesting interactions and I for one am loving it.
#the way it lets us explore these characters so much deeper is great#caitlyn and ambeesa is not a couple I would have predicted even though it was very obvious from the trailers#Mel alone (except for her assistant) is also interesting because she was always such a social character#seeing Viktor in the undercity feels weird but right as well#and of course the break up between Vi and Cait means we get to explore other sides to their characters#After they spent an entire season together#AND JINX!!#how could I forget about her#ofcourse sevika is till there#but now she has the little girl#and Vi too maybe? if we trust the trailers#arcane#vi arcane#vi#arcane season 2#arcane vi#Mel medarda#ambessa medarda#caitlyn#caitlyn x vi#caitvi#caitlyn kiramman#jayce talis#viktor arcane

i always wish we could have seen jaime and renly interact because their dynamic is so hysterical
jaime: outright says “i rather liked renly”, said it was a pity he died, told a comforting lie to loras to help him in his grief, seems pretty okay about renly being gay
renly: bets against jaime in the tourney of the hand, tells ned stark not to trust any lannisters, makes kingslayer jokes during feasts
#brienne ur love interests have one sided beef#deeper parallels here about laughing characters / brotherly trouble / we don’t choose whom we love etc#but have this shitpost for now#jaime lannister#renly baratheon#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#a storm of swords#a game of thrones#a clash of kings

there's just... there is no reason to make yet another cop show in this day and age. copaganda is not only bullshit, it is a failure of imagination.
you want to watch brooding characters with dark pasts investigate crimes in an official capacity? just use private detectives (cops have a miserable solve rate anyway). want eccentric geniuses & their sidekicks solving mysteries? i present you with armchair detectives & neighborhood busybodies. oh, you're craving a workplace comedy-drama starring overworked protagonists doing their heartfelt best to resolve community conflicts? social worker office sitcom! bitch this is ACHIEVABLE
#i lied the one reason to make a cop show is you want a mafia show and the cops are currently by far the most powerful u.s. mafia#BUT! i cannot emphasize enough: the police have none of the aesthetics or personality of the actual mafia so why even bother#The Sopranos but in an office setting with buzzing fluorescent lighting? and half your co-workers are weekend neo-nazis? come on#no. just no#from now on i want all tv cops to be villainous side characters#but BORING villainous side characters#i like villains as much as the next queer audience member but i cannot overstate the importance of portraying cops as not just bastards#but BORING bastards#they are so boring. they are boring and hateful and also neither particularly smart nor interesting#i need to emphasize: there is NOTHING to romanticize there#i am so passionate and supportive of anti-romanticizing cops. ANTI-ROMANTICIZE THE POLICE.#the police are BORING and HATEFUL and CRUEL and BASIC AS HELL#and we should be pointing that out publicly every chance we get#the police are BORING BASIC BITCHES and mocking them publically is a patriotic service

A doorway not quite shut
Some incident or another knocked Danny into another universe, specifically into the city of Gotham. Luckily, he managed to make a portal to the Ghost Zone to get back home without anyone really giving too much notice to him.
However, though his portal mostly worked perfectly, one key aspect of it failed.
It didn’t fully close.
Ectoplasm, previously sparse in this universe, starts to leak through.
Effects aren’t immediately apparent. But gradually, it starts to sink into everything. Changing it, empowering it.
The city’s ghosts become stronger, more tangible. Its living citizens, too, are more durable. Tech experiences inexplicable glitches. Food, left for too long, starts to come alive.
It eventually becomes impossible to ignore.
What the hell is happening to Gotham City?
#Danny could later be sent back to deal with those issues#but alternatively it might be interesting to be just the DC characters dealing with a more ghostly Gotham#liminally enhanced Rogues and newly tangible ghosts#i feel like this could also be an interesting way to set up a DC-side GIW#they have no idea what’s going on but it’s clearly dangerous. it makes sense that a government agency might be formed#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc crossover#dp x dc crossover prompt#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc prompt#dp x dc fanfic prompt#dc x dp crossover prompt#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp prompt#dc x dp fanfic prompt

unsurprisingly i read a lot of comics and manhwa n shit but ill let you know now, if your female protagonist has brown/black eyes or brown hair I like it 50% more
#i KNOW the comics are supposed to be brightly colored#all fun and fantastical#but honestly. my eyes... will ache#i like characters with plain colors. or muted coloring#i like low saturation too#and mAYBE i'm just tired of all the side characters or secondary love interests having plain colors#embrace it. embrace it. baby brown eye supremacy

You're never annoying to your f/o. Ranting about something that's upsetting you? They'll listen without judgment. Infodumping about your special interest or describing the details of your current one? Great! They're eager to hear more. Venting to them about a situation? Perfectly valid, they'll ask how they can best support you. You deserve to exist without feeling like you're bothering them, and your f/o will never grow tired of you.
#self ship#f/o community#f/o x s/i#f/o positivity#imagine your fictional other#comfort character imagines#f/o prompts#comfort character#fictional other#f/o imagines#side note the current one in reference to interests is me talking about interests that aren't special interests !!

I was thinking about the 5 year anniversary video and
it is interesting to me how Patton kind of decided for Logan what his role in the "family" would be. all the other sides chose it themselves, but he didn't get to.
even when he actively objects it's played for laughs and never addressed. this happened too when Patton revealed his name for him, and I just think it's interesting to note that after all these years, Logan still never gets to decide anything when it comes to Thomas, or even himself, to an extent. it's just kind of decided for him and he is expected to just go along with it, similar to how it was when Thomas dyed his hair.
ik it's mainly a "haha wine mom" moment, but that doesn't take away from how angsty it gets when you think about it.
#btw this is not meant as a judgement of Thomas as a creator#I just think it is an interesting character dynamic that leads to lots of angst#and seeing it shown so well and clearly is a treat#this also isn't Patton hate#I don't think he has any bad intentions#I think he is just a bit oblivious to how much his actions affect Logan#this is more of a general light sides not being the best to him thing#sanders sides#logan sanders#ts logan#logan angst#tw angst#tw alcohol#tw alchoholism mention#sasi#thomas sanders

I'd like to take a moment to point out to detractors of ships involving Laios who feel that "Laios wouldn't take any interest in people!" that he'd hyperfixated on Shuro so badly it was ruining the man's life lmao
#dungeon meshi#dunmesh spoilers#not even discounting that he'd be aroace or anything just that laios is perfectly capable of taking an interest in people#labru#this one's for labru nation#laios stating the reason that (alongside with having a genuine interest in shuro's home)#he was so excited because he thought shuro considered him a friend#could you even IMAGINE how he'd be with a person who went c o m p l e t e l y out of his way to be his friend on purpose#venturing into the dungeon putting himself in danger dying over and over again just to get close to him and his party#can you#i can#none of this even mentioning how the series ends with laios developing a genuine desire to take a bigger interest in humans#but i wont hold that against the anime onlys#side note it just kills me how laios (who is so painfully trusting of people) to immediately think kabru is lying to him here#god#top 10 characters who absolutely rot my brain

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#if you’ve ever had to wear body paint that stuff can be UNCOMFORTABLE#AND to hold that pose for so long - not moving a muscle even when they first started falling?#as humorous as this is it is no joke highly impressive#I also love the implication that they disguised Leo SO FAST that Big Mama JUST finished with item 1#this is why Leo grows to become the worlds greatest ninja#bro’s dedication to subterfuge is godly#also#Leo 🤝 Mario: being painted gold and tricking the villainess into thinking you’re a statue#side note but in this same episode leo makes a comment about being betrayed by his brothers all the time in a happy tone#and I wonder if that’s part of where his love for epic betrayals comes from#or if his bros partially did those betrayals because they know he likes them#also also#nearly all of Leo’s absolute best moments are contained within episodes that feature either Hueso or especially Big Mama#and I find that interesting#ALSO also also#Karai and Big Mama both embody different aspects of Leo’s key character traits and in this essay I will-#side note but as I mentioned in the notes LEO WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD CHEERLEADER AND SPECIFICALLY A FLYER#bc here’s the thing he has literally all the marks of a good one - the main one being what he shows HERE#the ability to LOCK HIS POSITION#plus his affinity for showmanship like#AND his literal JOB AS A MASCOT???#let my guy be a cheerleader plz#he and Mikey both would be so good at it

Love it when a modern "progressive" show makes all the evildoers physically disabled.
Larys has a Clubfoot, Aemond gets his eye cut out, and now Aegon is burnt and missing appendages.
Isn't it convenient that we can immediately tell a person is bad because their body looks different?
And of course, we don't explore any discrimination against these characters because they're horrible, and we shouldn't feel bad for horrible people.
People were mean to Larys because of his Clubfoot? But don't you know he has a gross foot fetish?
Aemond has impaired vision? But his eyepatch looks cool, and he is still a good fighter, so what is he even complaining about?
Aegon has been severely burnt? But he is a rapist and so let's make jokes about his dick burning off, lol.
#adding Helaena as neurodivergent and Alicent as an SA victim makes it even more fucking jarring that all these characters are on TG#Because of the obvious moral whitewashing of TB and Rhaenyra specifically#it is really gross how when you put the 2 factions next to each other you have the morally superior side all be pretty able-bodied people#and the other side is full of disabled people and victims who handle their trauma in unpalatable ways#in f&b this was less of an issue because no side was morally superior and the TG disabilities made an interesting sort of balance#book!Rhaenyra had to struggle because of her gender book!Aegon and Aemond because of their disabilities#but by tipping the scales the show created ruin their chance to create compelling disabled characters#they could have had their version of Tyrion Jaime and Bran instead they wrote a bunch of gross stereotypes#house of the dragon#ableism#hotd critical#anti hotd#aemond targaryen#larys strong#aegon ii targaryen

the constant inner struggle of a Na'vi speaker/teacher browsing Na'vi OCs
#(spongebob rainbow meme) autism#if i've ever reblogged your post to correct your na'vi grammar/OC name i promise promise promise i wasn't doing it to be rude#or as any sort of personal attack or criticism#the na'vi language is just a special interest of mine and i really love sharing information about it and helping people who are new to it!!#but also yes i acknowledge that at the end of the day it doesn't *really* matter if tumblruser29's na'vi oc has an “invalid” name#as long as they're happy with it#but boy howdy does the infodump side of me still want to fix it#...yeah this is why i very seldom reblog other people's OCs even if I really like the concept/design/art 😅#because i know i won't be able to resist fixing the names#and i'm aware that most people will probably find that more annoying than helpful#i'm more likely to bite the bullet and do it anyways with grammar mistakes#because with OC names a lot of the time there's a good chance the person isn't actually interested in learning the language#they simply want a cool name for their character#but if someone's trying to string together full phrases/sentences I assume they have at least some interest in actually learning#so I want to step in and help out#but...yeah#lì'fya leNa'vi#na'vi oc#my art#comic
