Ra's (talking about Tim): he is a master strategist, always ten steps ahead, poised, calculating and collected–

i love that a good portion of the halsin fandom is well thought out think pieces, character dissections and lore breakdowns and the other portion is halsin hornyposting AND that sometimes those two things coincide!

🎉HAPPY NEW YEARS 🎊

For new years I wanted to draw a comparison of a drawing of my mc calypso from the beginning of 2024, and now a drawing of her at the end of 2024

ENCOURAGING YOU TO REBLOG WITH UR ART IMPROVEMENT TOO 🫵

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING MY FIRST YEAR ON TUMBLR AMAZING. I joined in February and never thought I would make it this far or last for this long. I’ve met so many amazing people, had a bunch of great conversations, learned a lot, and it’s all thanks to all the wonderful people in this fandom. Actually couldn’t have made it this far without you guys. Here’s to another good year 🥂

SENDING EVERYONE THE BIGGEST KISS 💗💗 LOVE YOU GUYS

broke: sebastian is stupid lol

woke: sebastian is extremely intelligent actually

bespoke: sebastian is extremely intelligent, but is also stupid on the accounts of being a teenage boy

[5sospenguinqueen]

Sebastian: MC, the big question is, does he like you? 'Cause if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point.

MC: A moo point?

Sebastian: You know, like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo.

Ominis: Have I been living with him too long, or did all that just make sense?

(MC regretting asking them for advice)

Brilliant. As if a head wound wasn't bad enough, now he was having heart palpitations as well? Had he overdone it with the Shakespearean theatrics and inadvertently brought upon his own tragic, untimely death? Was he to die at her feet as Romeo for Juliet — only via self-inflicted concussion over a quick-acting poison?

Fuck it — if today was the day that he died, he'd at least try for a first date. As a wise man once sang: Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?

‘Don't go on a date with Ominis,’ he said, swooping his stupid hair out of his face. ‘Go on a date with me.’

Percy Jackson is trans and comparing her to Harry Potter is an act of transmisogyny

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

shannon, i hate to break it to you, but that's plot convenience, not gisela being smart. there's quite literally no way she could've predicted sophie would've disobeyed her instructions and set up at the grand hall, especially since sophie has *checks notes* never disobeyed the neverseen's direct orders before

GRWM: School Edition 📚

[just 5th-year val's prep routine to look 'human']

"Ugh, mornings... but hello there! Good morning! ☀️ Now, where did I put my coffee..."

"As someone who doesn't have the word sleep in their dictionary and is constantly bombarded by nightmares leading to hyper-fixating on my newest interests instead—

Actually, that's not the fun part, it could be worse.

For example, instead of sleeping, you can find me fighting the latest addition to my nightmares. A quick shout out to my hardworking and annoying poachers and some deadly creatures out there. Thank you for taking a liking to me but I seriously am not fluttered at all.

As you can tell, I'm only human but because I barely sleep. I'm just a blink away to looking like an Inferi. So let me let you guys in for a secret on how to look good despite not feeling like you are one."

"Ladies and gents and everyone in between.

I introduce to you Vitality Veil!"

"As some of you may already know, I love potions so naturally. I decided why not make one that suits my situation best.

Just take around 15ml of this baby and you'll look like you have a good night's sleep for the next 12 hours!"

"I'm no expert in any way but I'm certainly full of ideas.

Vitality Veil is basically an energizing and beautification potion.

Its base is the Focus Potion which is very helpful for the energy part and I added a few ingredients for the beauty part."

"Look, I'm turning red here. Not because I'm blushing or something. But that's because the 'Veil' part or the beautification part of the process is happening.

This part helps me to look convincingly human, resulting in looking like I had a good sleep.

It can also somewhat hide my scar which I originally didn't intend to. But oh well... I'll figure that out one day."

"You see that?

It's starting to work perfectly!"

"Et voila! I look like myself again :D

But seriously, I don't even need this if being a teenager wasn't some sort of free trial to hell.

Oh well, there will be better days. TRUST 🙏🏻

That's all for today!

Thank you for getting ready with me! ❤️‍🔥"
