#so theres a lot of genuinity in their too getting mocked

[suncaptor]

also kind of frustrates me Britta's past is treated all like a joke when she left home at 17 and starts Greendale having connections across the world and is clearly genuinely educated on the issues she talks about. even if she is like. levying them for identity reasons and not genuine care. does that matter. and she'll often bring up good points just to be mocked and bullied.

[stabyou]

i feel very unloved and left out. i wish i had a big friend group like everyone else... but i always stick out like a sore thumb whenever im amongst a group. if only the antipsychotics could make my weird, unlikeable aura go away

[weirdmageddon]

i love these tags this person is so right

actually, can you imagine if dave was raised by B1 roxy?

i wanna get into this actually

(ok i had to spend a few hours rewriting this because IT DIDNT FUCKING SAVE AFTER FIVE HOURS OF WRITING WHEN MY COMPUTER UPDATED WHILE I WAS AFK so it would mean a lot to show this post some appreciation. i LOVEEE hearing what other people have to say)

even though these things mom does are presented in an extravagant, kitsch, jokey way, her intentions always came from a place of sincerity. she is simply Funnie

but rose reads too far into it and assumes things that aren't there, that her mother is passive-aggressively feigning interest in rose's interests simply because the things she does are so extra. "why do all of this if not to mock me"

im telling you right now if dave lived in this household he wouldn't assume antagonism, he'd go,

don’t forget who LITERALLY patented tangible jpeg artifacts as their post-scratch adult self and scattered shitty scummed up statue of liberties all over the planet. theres no way some of that overboard artful shit wasnt post-ironic / circling back around to genuine funny sincerity

dave's natural state is funny sincerity like roxy. he's had the natural capacity for this type of humor from the start and this is the direction he goes towards when he grows out of his brother's shadow by the end of the comic. dave and roxy share an earnest “so bad its good” type of humor

(lots more under the cut; the length of this meta analysis just got unwieldly with all the pictures and whatnot)

despite the alcoholism, roxy is a supportive mother. she's not the ideal guardian but hells of a lot more supportive of her kid than bro is. if she knew dave's interests she would totally indulge in them with some over the top silly goofy haha shit as a genuine gesture simply because she loves him

rose isn't too keen on it though. but she is more similar to dirk in her natural state of thinking of overthinking shit and assuming the worst, like the tags said

and yes dave got the sweet cuddly yet sometimes backhanded ouppy gene from roxy, probably even moreso lol

roxy's even said rose "sounds like girl dirk"

side tangent here, but this is something i wanna talk about.

i dont think bro should ever be in custody of children ever but if theres anyone who would be up to the task it's rose probably. i know she'd be able to keep up with him. not only does she have a defined personality (dave is more malleable and absorbs his environment like a sponge), if anyone can pick apart B1 dirk's batshit brain and probably be right on the money it's her. lil cal has been pumping patriarchal nonsense into bro's head and rose would be able to bring the fucking facts to the table without losing her own and being a living example of a badass little girl. i also don't think bro would try to force masculine roles onto rose like he did with dave, seeing as she is a girl, so she would actually have more of a leg up and get some passes that dave was never afforded. and rose wouldn't stand idly and accept any bullshit; she is no doormat. and i think this would earn bro's respect

but anyway, from this, couldn't we conclude roxy "sounds like girl dave"?

yeah okay. we havent even gotten into their penchant for funny typos or misspeaks, deliberate or otherwise

so, dave's environment

the sentiment "god you hope you can be as good as your bro at this some day" might have been genuine at the time when he idolized bro but of course he's not able to express that in any sort of sincere fashion because he's in dirk's fucking household. and this level 10 irony shit isnt doing dave any favors

his role models were the Internet and a vague idea of what Bro was like. So he built up his facade based on irony–not the literary definition of irony, as Rose might be quick to point out, but a popular concept of irony based on the idea that things that didn’t make sense actually made sense in some roundabout way. As a master of irony, Dave probably reasoned, he could see in a way other people couldn’t why a world that was scary and didn’t make sense really did make sense, and could therefore convince those people that he was superior to them. And he would wield his knowledge to maintain the appearance of superiority by calling everything ironic and pretending he didn’t care about things that didn’t make sense, and he would use walls of vaguely rhyming words to keep everyone at arm’s length so they wouldn’t discover his insecurities (source)

roxy's style is the embodiment of post-irony. being raised by mom lalonde would be like being raised by joel vinesauce ok

what can i say ….. (getting meta about this actually, hussie got these jpeg wizard wallpapers from a spyware website. link takes some time to load because internet archive)

rose is quick to read post-irony as actually being a joke/insincere, which in bro's case would be true. but i believe dave's natural instinct, outside of the influence of bro, is to read post-irony as genuine, which is exactly how mom serves it. we see this as early as act 3 from him; he understands her motives better than rose does herself:

and in act 6 intermission 2 i think it's pretty clear

but the thing is, it's always genuine from her. dave wouldn't have to second guess it because he's not one to naturally second guess someone's sincerity; that was learned due to his bro being virtually unassailable

there two types of ironies at play here:

seems like a joke, is actually genuine (roxy)

doesnt seem like a joke, is actually a joke (dirk)

you can make the argument that the second is is more psychologically destructive because it makes you question the reality of what is genuine sentiment and what isn't. dave never knew what was genuine and what was irony so he just sort of existed in this sincerity-ironic limbo and always did the opposite of what he genuinely felt on principle even if it always did originate from a genuine place.

"it just a joke bro i was just being ironic i dont actually x" is so much more trust-breaking and psychologically damaging than "wait are you being serious" / "i am being so fucking fr rn davy gravy" / "ok thats actually pretty fucking awesome. giant ass wizard statue" / "RIGHT"

how much about dave would change do you think? his character arc would be completely different for one thing, i think he'd have it good aside from mom's alcohol issues. he'd be left with the sweet and funny parts of him that we see at the end of the comic. the fake coolguy stuff is out, but this remains. this is dave in his element and we see it as early as act 1

he'd probably have no shades growing up in the lalonde residence* either cause those were given to him by bro straight out of the crater as an extension of his own cool image. and john gave dave ben stiller’s aviators for his 13th birthday to replace them so he could “spread his wings”

dave said he was wearing them for the ironies but i kind of doubt it. maybe post-irony but there was some reacharound to it being genuine because dave never put those pointy anime shades on his face again.

*though... it’s kind of hard to imagine him without his shades at all? B2 dave still got stiller’s shades from stiller himself so maybe getting them is a universal constant. i can imagine mom getting him them as a birthday gift cause shes pretty wealthy and probably could buy it out in an auction. but also itd be cool if john still gave him it as a gift

dave is actually a lot more genuine and easy to read than he lets on even when grappling with his upbringing with B1 dirk (again, see this post). this can be seen all throughout he comic but a good example is the evolution of thoughts about his interest in the preserved dead things in his room:

if B1 roxy was dave's guardian he probably WOULD have pursued paleontology because she wouldve indulged him in it and probably find it cool and worthwhile to pursue, instead of allowing dave to flounder under ironic detachment, being poisoned by irony to the point of gaslighting himself into believing he doesnt actually believe he thinks this shit is cool. even if it was indulged in this such a way; a superficially kitsch and ironic appearing presentation, it comes from a genuine place and inspires genuine interest. just read the comments.

basically, i think if B1 roxy raised dave, their relationship would have a surface level appearance of being bizarre or over-the-top but they’d have an unsaid mutual understanding that it’s completely in earnest and just build on each other's funny and absurd gestures of affection. rather than seeing it as one-upping each other, it'd more like collaboration of some silly bullshit that you take a step back and look at full and just say, "fucking incredible"

speaking of paleontology, mom had the proto-ectobiology lab. maybe they'd be able to use the equipment to appearify paradox ghost imprints of the dead shit to create paradox clones of things from the cambrian era??? sounds like a fun mother son bonding activity. and theyd actually put the sciencey shit in the household to use

oh god i know exactly the kinds of music shed listen too also growing up as a teen in the 80s. she on that (post)-punk/art rock/new wave/new romantic mtv stuff. XTC shit fr. this is a B-52S HOUSEHOLD. maybe the associates for the campy melodramatic flair. so he gets to keep the record on his shirt cause he is an enjoyer of the shit in her vinyl collection. dave would still gravitate towards musical expression and music itself but of more variety outside of just rap, with an 80s-90s, even 70s flavor due to mom’s influence. see this for perhaps a glimpse. ​she probably visited new york city a lot for business trips and because the music scene was cool as hell around that time, imports came straight from jfk airport, she probably got in on that a bit and have remnants in the form of vinyls and cassettes. in this way she could be distributing void to dave (influencing him with forgotten / presently irrelevant music). now he can REALLY rave about bands none of his friends have heard of. “hey davy grvay watcha listenin to” (he holds up vinyl cover) “omg snakefinger”

btw dave lalonde would look like this to me

[redr0sewrites]

Can I request hcs about the batboys being a top/switch/bottom please? 💕

🥀A/n: YESSSSS!!! btw i will be yapping ab the differences between sub/bottom and dom/top 💀

🥀Character(s): Dick Grayson x reader, Jason Todd x reader, Bruce Wayne x reader

🥀Cw: smut, dom/sub dynamics, implied switch!reader, switch!character

🥀minors dni

Dick Grayson:

i feel like Dick is a pleasure dom, he cares a lot about making you feel good and that often leads to him bottoming while still being dominant. he likes when you ride him and take what you need, but he simultaneously wants to be in control

out of the three, Dick is probably the most naturally dominant and is the one to prefer domming the most- i think he's a bit of a control freak like that, he won't outwardly show it but submitting is just something that doesn't come naturally to him

however, i do think he gets worked up a lot and needs to get his mind off of things, so that would be an opportunity for him to enter a more submissive role. that would take a bit of time, but once he trusts you, Dick will definitely be down to sub.

prefers to be a subtop, he likes rutting into you desperately and having you coo and tease him for taking you so desperately

as i've previously stated, when he's domming, Dick is a pleasure dom. your pleasure comes before his, and he's very adamant about making you feel good. while he's down to try anything that you want, he wouldn't be into physically hurting you or super hardcore bdsm, but i do think he can be a bit mean at times. he's a HUGE tease with insane stamina and will edge you for literal hours until your begging, then overstimulate you until you cry

however, when it comes to subbing? he's either a whiny brat or a genuine sweetheart.

when he's bratty, Dick will tease you and mock you for not fucking him hard enough, he wants you to be mean to him and fuck him absolutely stupid until theres not a single thought left in his brain

he's also into kinkier things, he wants you to treat him like the mindless slut he knows he can be. its kind of a corruption kink, in the sense that everyone always views him as the perfect golden child. you're the only one who gets to see how needy and horny he actually is, and he genuinely views subbing as an opportunity for him to be as kinky and depraved as he would like without judgement. it's actually kind of sweet that he feels safe enough around you to show you that side of him

speaking of sweet, Dick is not always a brat when subbing. sometimes, everything is a bit too much, and instead of wanting to be fucked out of his mind, he just wants to be taken care of. these days, he's more clingy during sex, needing your praise and attention at all times. Dick is a lot more susceptible to slipping into subspace during these times, in which he'll cry and cling to you, desperate for just one more climax.

a lot of the time his brattiness will slowly melt into his softer, needier side, and theres an important distinction between the two. when he's acting out and being bratty, Dick craves your attention, and enjoys being degraded and mocked. however, when he's more emotionally vulnerable and soft, he can't take any degradation without crying.

after subbing, Dick is a lot clingier during aftercare as well, especially if you were being mean to him. please reassure him you didn't mean anything that you said when degrading him, he's still in a sensitive state of mind and needs that reassurance

overall, i think the sexual roles Dick falls into most are pleasure dom and sort of a pillow princess sub (yes ik thats a wlw term but idk how else to describe it im sorry 😭) and he's overall very versatile during sex

Jason Todd:

bottom 🫵🫵🫵

in all seriousness though, Jason is a very versatile switch in my opinion. he's a lot more inclined to subbing than the others, and is actually more comfortable bottoming than topping. he's a strong guy, he's fucking huge, and he's constantly afraid of accidentally hurting you. when he's bottoming, its eases some of his worries about accidentally crushing or hurting you

Jason is either a strict dom, a power bottom/dom bottom, or a genuine sub in my opinion.

some days he's a strict dom, and s but of a brat tamer. i also see him being a bit of a sadist, but only if you were 1000% into it and if you had established safewords. he's whispering filthy words in your ear and talking to you like your trash, but treating you so sweetly that your brain goes fuzzy. its just so confusing when he's fucking you so well, and every thought is engulfed by the rising pleasure in your abdomen.

Jason is any type of dom that you need, if you're tired and needy and want his attention, then he'll gladly take care of you and be all sweet and gentle. however, if you're acting out and being bratty on purpose to get a rise out of him, then he'll treat you as such.

he's a bit meaner like this, and while he's still prioritizing your pleasure, he's definitely the one in total control. however he's very insistent on using safe words and making sure your comfortable, he would never everrr want to hurt you

i think Jason would enjoy battling for dominance, especially if your a switch as well. theres something very carnal and attractive about you both struggling to stay in control, and seeing which one of you will end up on top

i also see Jason as a power bottom though, in all physical senses he's subbing but you both know he has control. this also makes him feel a bit safer about hurting you, as your the one taking what you need and controlling your position, however he still is the one calling the shots. he's sweeter like this, praising you and cooing sweet nothings as you ride him.

i do also believe he can be a sub tho. he prefers simultaneously subbing and bottoming, because while it is more vulnerable, it also gives him the opportunity to relax. when he's a sub and topping, Jason is often too fucked out to pay attention to how tight he's holding you and whether or not he's hurting you. being on the bottom assures him that he won't have to worry, and that he can just let his mind go blissfully blank. Jason is very comfortable subbing with someone he trusts, and he can be a bit of a masochist at times.

Jason is a very needy sub, he wants to be taken care of and fucked out of his mind. he's a lot more vocal when subbing, but still prioritizes your pleasure and comfort over his own.

overall, once he feels safe with you, Jason is comfortable in many different sexual positions and will honestly usually just let you take the lead and decide how you want the night to go

Bruce Wayne:

again, another switch. i feel like Bruce is the most mellow out of the three, especially as he's older, and isn't as up to date with sexual roles and things like that. he's familiar witth some of the basics, but in all honesty he's down to try whatever you would like

whether or not he doms or subs truly depends on his mood, and he has no preference about topping or bottoming

when he's pent up or irritated, Bruce prefers to dom, taking the lead and making love to you. i think he's a brat tamer more than anything else, if you act out he'll treat you as rough as you like but if you want him to, he can be soft as well.

Bruce is a very attentive dom, taking note of everything you like and dislike while observing your reactions. he only really doms when he feels like it, so he's a little bit miffed if you try to take control. Bruce is the biggest control freak out of the three of them, and wants everything to be perfect when it comes to you both sleeping together. this often leads to him overthinking and getting into his own head a little, however that can easily be remedied

when he subs, Bruce is a little shy. it may seem out of character, but admitting to weakness is not something that comes naturally to him and so he tends to clam up and wait for you to take the lead. that doesn't mean he isn't enjoying himself, he just needs some time to adjust

it took Bruce SO long to realize he was a switch like he spent most of his life internalizing his desires because people always assumed he was a top/dom. once he's dating you, he becomes increasingly interested in subbing, but you'd probably have to be the first to initiate that kind of thing

because he's never had the opportunity to sub for most of his life, Bruce starts to develop a preference for it. that doesn't mean he doesn't dom anymore though, and he's definitely still very much a switch.

with the right partner i can definitelyyyyyy see him being bratty, but most of the time he's pretty tame. Bruce is often very tired when he's subbing, and takes it as an opportunity for him to relax and let you take the reins. i think he's the type to slip into subspace VERY easily and become very talkative because of that. he's not vocal at all leading up to that, but once he slips into his own little headspace he's suddenly moaning like a pornstar and getting all clingy and needy!

all in all, i see Bruce as a switch leaning sub who is more than willing to accommodate any of your sexual preferences

this got, like, weirdly deep and analytical for what was supposed to be smutty hcs 😭😭😭 anyways!!! hope u enjoyed!!! i really cannot tell if i like this or not so plspslplssss lmk what yall think ♥️

US RAHHHHHH headcanons for the v special boy day!

RAHHHHH

first off a more foolish person would assume that this holiday would involve peace. they would assume that the joy of independence from tyranny was enough to sedate rivalry. point and laugh wttt fandom this person is wrong

the fact of the matter; at least one person will have to sit in their car and cry when the night is over because they brought a dish that was just relentlessly mocked.

fact of the matter: 90% of the time this is a midwesterner. minnisota brings an ambrosia salad one year and this threatens civil war.

i do hear a lot of misconceptions that texas would immediately start running the grill like the navy; however i believe in the much more obscure principle of alaska running it to get away from people.

'how do u want ur meat' he asks. theres a smile on his face. this is bc he knows it will be burnt either way and he enjoys the idea of setting you up for failure.

cali is banned from hosting bc yk he'd be so insufferable ab having no weed allowed and about 8 states immediately start twitching at the idea of having to do it sober.

speaking of sobriety LORD this day must be difficult for the NE. not for the obvious reason, just bc they hate everyone and their lives and having to hear ab your stupid families. and sports that aren't baseball or basketball. and the sun, and social interaction and overall joy. other than that great day out.

yeah mass is traumatised but i fear its his gay right to loudly judge you like an old woman at a party. someone asks him to stop and he asks why they have no respect for the people that won the war.

does okla object morally to the idea of celebrating a nations birth when he, a native man, knows his people were there for generations beforehand? yes. will he be in attendance every year for the football match he gets way too competitive about despite the fact he's playing against washington (weak and asthmatic) and ohio (home of the browns)? yes

look theres a distinct family unit going on here guys. the south r dads or uncles. midwest is your aunt whos recently divorced and his gotten REALLY into experimental baking because she doesn't miss her husband (she will leave him 10000 voicemails at the end of the night). west is a clean split between youngest cousins that REALLY need to perfect this dance so they'll be allowed a sleepover and your weird aunt who recently came back from vacation as a hippie. northeast transition from weird emo cousin to genuinely insufferable old men in around 30 minutes to an hour (depending on how fast they can drink)

[hearts401]

Why do you think Helluva Boss is better, in terms of writing?

OOOH i have a LOT to say about this.

I think it's a lot less rushed. it FEELS a lot less rushed. And thats not saying its all perfect, it went pretty fast too, but not as fast as hazbin.

For example, hazbin had this big deadline and they had to fit in angels arc, the carmilla/vaggie situation, the heaven stuff, AND charlies shit with her dad. So despite it being a comedy, they had to stuff a LOT of things together, which means theres less chance for filler which means it gets rushed. (bc honestly, it feels less like a comedy and more like an edgy teen humor show BECAUSE they're stuffing the comedy in while rushing to get all the important lore bits in)

so helluva boss feels more like a comedy. they have serious moments, but it leaves space for jokes and humor that dont feel out of place (for example, in the hh finale they kept making jokes that rlly didnt fit? like charlie profusely apologizing to angels who are slaughtering her people? or when pentious died and it was a joke but we were supposed to take it seriously???)

helluva boss has episodes with less emotional baggage in them, like the pilot, murder family, spring broken, and CHERUB, and the harvest moon festival, all in season one. and while they do HAVE emotional moments, theyre not super heavy. then you have episodes that feel like a mix, like truth seekers and loo loo land. and then you have heavy episodes like ozzie's and queen bee. its much more balanced (and im focusing on s1 of hb bc its unfair to pit a two season show against a one season show.)

also also also, and this is smth i complain about a lot, Hazbin Hotel is OBSESSED with making their characters as likeable as possible. unfortunately this falls on characters who DONT DESERVE IT. Like angel dust. When he harassed husk, it was supposed to be humor and funny and whatever, but when husk snapped at him, he was the bad guy suddenly. and angel still never apologized. and im not saying hb doesnt have that issue (ESPECIALLY with stolas) but i think its handled better.

blitzo is a good example. i have complaints about the circus situation, but in the end hes still not a good guy, excuse or not. he's rude, he's nosy, he's dismissive. he hunts his sister down despite her making it very clear she doesnt wanna see him. and he brushes off stolas and even uses him under the guise of a sweet date. in general, blitzo is just waaay better handled than angel dust is.

i also like the villains more? theyre not made out to be a joke as much as the villians in hazbin (per my earlier statement about all the humor being stuffed in) crimson is made to be genuinely intimidating, striker, while mocked a lot, is still a very serious villain, mammon is a big joke on purpose, and it makes sense! and then other antagonists (verosika, one and two, ect) are made out to be funny because theyre NOT big villains, they're just bitches who have beef with imp. the worst villain in hb is, of course, the one woman, stella. but thats a conversation for another ask.

meanwhile the hazbin villains are sooo dumbed down. our most serious villain was lute. adam was a huge joke and relatively annoying at times? like most of what he did was watered down by bad jokes (like killing pentious??? ppl seem to forget adam beat alastor without even tearing his clothes and its because everytime hes on screen theres a terrible joke about to be made) and the vees are just??? eh??? i dont have a TON of complaints about velvette aside from how little she actually did to the point where she hardly feels like a villain? shes moreso just annoying. and then vox hypnotizes people and hes like. evil ceo type shit but thats overshadowed by his crazy ass beef with alastor because again, he didnt do much else. and then val had that stupid scene with vox that i hate so so so so much. hes made out to be funny when he SHOULDNT BE!!! They dont take val's character seriously its weird. ick. and also we didnt have many villains to even go off of? helluva boss gave us lots of characters to work with in season one, and all of them are unique in some way, and had time to shine and will have more time to shine later because the story isnt rushing. hazbin INSISTED on concluding this arc in one season when it really shouldn't have. they didnt have the time to do it, and they tried anyway. helluva boss is better because they gave it TIME. striker is introduced in season one and we KNOW he'll come back because he got away! and he does! and hes great because they gave him TIME to be there and be gone and be there and be gone.

and now he's our most recurring villain. and i think hes awesome. crimson didnt actually have a lot of time to vanish and come back, but hes also new so its a bit different. and he had two episodes in between showing up and disappearing, and the second one had more focus on striker anyways.

i think that while hazbin is a 4/10 for me (5 if im being generous), helluva boss is a 6 or 7/10. the worst part about the helluva boss writing is stolas's family and how the women are written tbh.

tldr: helluva boss is better paced and the characters are better, and hazbin hotel is too rushed and forces these characters onto you

[catholic-character-tournament]

Round 3 - Catholic Character Tournament

Propaganda below ⬇️

Gabriel

Well he's an angel so I'm taking him being catholic as canon. There are a lot of themes in the game that point to catholisism specifically.

He's so fucking funny. he listens to nine inch nails and quotes one of the songs in a fight basically "fight me like an animal". he and v1 kind of have this yuri thing going on. he has an official bodypillow. hes a metaphor for being excommunicated and no one gets him like me and my friends do

The *true* Catholic experience is leaving the church and having a gay awakening, ask anyone

its debatable if Gabriel truly believes he's "the one true savior" or is mocking the idea of it

ok im actually gonna write some gabe propaganda bc despite what you may expect from a game called ULTRAKILL theres a lot to be said about his character and how catholicism is represented

Gabriel is a genuinely caring person who struggles to square his desire to help people with his duty as an archangel. He's the only one in Heaven trying to make things better for those in Hell, but his faith is used to manipulate him into committing atrocities against the people he used to protect (see the "TRAITOR" mural in 4-2)

he only realizes his mistakes after losing everything and being sentenced to death, but he still decides with only a little time remaining to try and make things right. for the sake of spoilers i will just say that the measures he takes are... extremely drastic and very enjoyable. i just really like the idea that even facing the end of all living things, no matter how steep your crimes, it is never too late to fix your mistakes. you are never unworthy forgiveness.

hes also SO FUCKING GAY for this dumb little robot. it mauled him so hard he tasted his own blood and he fell in love right there. theres no way this guy has a normal healthy relationship to pain he is soooooooooo fucked. i love him. please vote for Gabriel "patron saint of gay lapsed catholics" Ultrakill !!!!!!!!

Shadow

In sonic destruction (the AI generated fan thing snapcube made a while ago) shadow was catholic or something which I think is reallyyyyyyy funny

Ok listen. I know this is a stretch but hear me out. He says “oh my God” in the Twitter takeovers so we know this is a possibility. I see him as a Christ-like figure because I saw his whole confrontation with Mephiles and was like “this is a thing that happened in the Bible??” and the pose Mephiles shows him in is literally like a crucifixion and Mephiles is meant to be a demon / false prophet reference. And also he’s called a demon in Shadow The Hedgehog 2005 then the guy who calls him that is like “I was wrong I’m sorry” and that also reminds me of a thing with Jesus in The Bible. But the biggest reason is his whole thing with Maria cause I think he’d come to earth and hear Ave Maria once and convert to Catholicism idk he’s like we’re comforted by a female familial figure named Mary sometimes called Maria?? And her color is blue????? Heck yeah I’m in because I Will Cry. Also feel free to share this as propaganda obv even if he doesn’t get in the bracket just. It’s funny.

I feel like he’d battle a lot with being seen or portrayed as a demon and how the aliens he’s related to very much look and act like demons idk lmao- and also I feel like confession would just be good for him I think he needs it for his mental health

There is a debate on the lovely website tunblr that Shadow T. Hedgehog is an allegory for Jesus Christ.

He is Jesus, idk what to tell you. He lived, he was sealed away, he was awakened again and deemed the ultimate lifeforms, he’s angry but not evil, does what he believes is best for people and the world at any given time. Total loser.

[aroace-ventplace]

it feels like every borderline aphobic blog has the exact same vibes. im not sure if this is real or just confirmation bias but whenever i see an iffy comment on a post and i get an immediate bad feeling from their theme and description, 90% of the time they reblogged Those Posts back in 2016-18 and nothing since. i dont know how to describe it but theres this aesthetic or theme to them

do you know what i mean

yeah—i know exactly what you mean. i feel like their main vibe is always that they’re… trying too hard to seem cool? the people who participated in tumblr’s “joking” aphobia era often seem to purposefully avoid being genuine about anything. they’ve been so poisoned by irony & the need to not be seen as “cringe” that their sense of humor just revolves around mocking others.

like, it’s usually not the fandom blogger with a chatty pinned post who reblogs animal videos and memes about fanfiction. it’s the person who just has, like, “[name] 22” with a picture of a graveyard, and they rarely talk in the tags, and they don’t use a lot of punctuation (because expressing emotions is cringe, right?)

obviously those two categories of tumblr behavior don’t 100% indicate whether a person participated in being shitty to aspecs when that was popular. but there really is a trend there, and i’m always going to be a lot more cautious about interacting with the latter kind of person.

[maxellminidisc]

We've been saying for years that all that shameless unquestioned inclusion of abusive materials in fan/communal spaces online was only adding more fuel to the fucking csem fire that's already a massive problem. We've been saying the people who we're most adamant of abusive material in fan and other communal spaces online are just abusers who want to use the inclusivity of these spaces as a shield and smokescreen for their grooming but way too many people got caught up in the brain washing of "radical inclusion" in fan spaces to give a fuck. And its genuinely frightening watching people, especially kids, fall down these rabbit holes and get stuck in echo chambers of abuse, abusive behavior and language, and exposed to materials of abuse over and over and at alarming rates online.

But what's even scarier is like what the fuck is there to do?? It's so hard getting people out of these mind sets and communities, especially people who are victims of csa who basically are stuck having their abuse normalized to them and its only exacerbated by these online communities of abusers; not to mention the law be it domestic or international is shit, useless, and does truly next to nothing for victims of csa and grooming, let alone the minimum to shut down rings online by targeting host sites and shit. Plus theres a whole conversation to have on abolition but like again who knows the answers there?

Awareness is important and being conscious of the language, terminology, and bastardization of genuinely radical language and communities these people use is key. The bare minimum is being able to spot these people and warning others of them to get them out of spaces and keep them out of spaces, especially ones with kids in them. It's a lot and it's very mentally taxing thing to be conscious of but again, its important and necessary to keep others safe, especially children online. If anything, we need to take the burden of creating safe spaces off the backs of countless children online who I see trying to fight tooth and nail to keep abusers away from them and who are mocked and ridiculed by grown fucking perverts for it.

theres a point where mocking becomes less of a joke and more of an insult it doesnt matter how close they are. given his reactions he seems fed up a lot of the times. idrc if anyone thinks its just a joke. or so and so is a savage member of the group.

I still don't really think they're insulting him. I have a similar dynamic with my own friend group, wherein i'm the eldest and the rest are younger. We've known one another since we were in middle school, and I am essentially the parental figure. They tease me about getting "old" all the time, they have since I turned eighteen and became an adult. I look annoyed and fed up all the time because they're like my siblings, but I don't take it to heart or as insults. Sure sometimes it IS genuinely annoying, but it's always in the same way you get annoyed with a sibling sometimes. And also, Chan could very easily TELL them he doesn't want to be teased like that. SKZ are always teasing one another, and sometimes it can go a little bit too far, because they're human, but Chan COULD always tell them he doesn't like it. SKZ listen to Chan, even if they tease him, and you can see that. And Chan teases them too, so it's far from one-sided.

(BTW this isn't meant to be a jab or anything, and i'm not saying the following is TRUE or MY OWN opinion, i'm just the type who digs too deep into everything.) but do you maybe feel yourself reflected in the situation? Or it resonates too much for you? Like maybe you've had someone to the same to you and it wasn't really an insult, or you feel as if it's you subconsciously thinking maybe you'd be judged for being "old" if you were a fan? You don't have to answer or anything. It could very well just be a conflict of perspectives. But idk the lifetime therapist friend in me just always feels like there's a deeper meaning behind everything.

《•Sleeping in his lap•》

A/N: I'm so sorry for the layout of this. Tumblr has been acting up and anytime I try to save something to my drafts, it literally deletes. I took screenshots beforehand in case it happened again and it did so--

Theres a lot spelling mistakes in the first half because I cant edit it, but yknow..

This sucks lol

I hate using tumblr for writing, but it's more organised than other fanfic sites :/

Anyways, if you know how to fix this problem, please let me know how you do that haha I should’ve wrote these prompts in notes or something but that’s on me i guess lol

I had more characters done as well but they unfortunately deleted ://

____________________________________________

Your eyes narrowed at him,” What is wrong with you?? I could’ve hurt my neck, you know?!” You argued with him.

”And? Your fat head would’ve made my leg go dead if you lay on it yet you don’t see me whining like a little bitch.” He retorted, his lips twitching into a shit eating grin,” Sucks to suck, I guess.” He shrugged.

”Youre such a prick.” You murmured bitterly, crossing your arms over your chest with a pout.

At the sound of his mocking laugh, the only thing you wanted to do was wipe that stupid grin off his stupid face.

So that’s what you did.

You suddenly grabbed his collar roughly, yanking him towards you. His head landed harshly yet snugly onto your thighs.

”What the fu-?!” He stared up at you with a genuinely shocked expression, his mouth agape and his eyes widened comically, his cheeks stained a bright red hue.” What the fuck is your problem, woman?!!”

”You. You’re my problem.” You sighed out, running your fingers through his soft hair calmly and slowly,” You’re such a pain.”

He scoffed and went to get off of your lap for the sake of his precious pride but the feeling of your fingers running through his hair felt too good to abandon.

He bit his lip to stop the groan of satisfaction escaping, his head relaxing into your comfortable and warm thighs. His eyes shutting with bliss, the smell of your intoxicating blossom shampoo filling him with tranquility.

When his eyes cracked open a little, he felt his snarky attitude return at the sight of your triumphant smirk as your eyes watched him in amusement.

”Wipe that dumbass smirk off of your face. I am not enjoying th-“ He was cut off by his own groan of pleasure, the feeing of your fingers scratching his scalp felt amazing.

” What was that?” You grinned out.

”Fuck off, peasant.”

hey there--decided to write another rant here bc my page is a little too shit-posty for stuff like this <3 hope this is okay!!

I hate Jotaro’s characterization. a lot.

He, as a character had potential beyond just being who he is: a badass. When I ask people what they think of jotaro, they tell me they think of a giant strong guy who doesnt take shit.

And that... Sucks.

With many shounen or even seinen manga, theres a weird caricaturing for badass characters like jotaro, and perhaps its because of the stigma behind ‘strong & manly’ men with emotions, but jotaro could have been a legendary and relatable character if only araki delved into his insecurities.

in the beginning as startdust crusaders we’re shown how jotaro is rude to his mother but when she doesnt kiss him one time he gets slightly worried--something that is the only profound scene regarding in their relationship.

(also i dont like at all the fact that holly put up w her son's shit. she is a person too, and it wouldve been nice if she physically stopped herself from touching/kissing him bc he's so explosive)

the reason he’s a bitch to his mother is not explored beyond puberty hitting him like a truck.

Like... thats it??

i know what ur probably thinking: huh?? and?? the focus of this part was just with the crew aiming to fight dio--

and thats when i say ur WRONG.

the entire beginning, the very base of this was because jotaro didnt want his mother to die, so i feel like it does matter to talk abt how poorly it was portrayed.

in 1988 of japan, lets say that there was a stigma for many things, and even taboos that still apply to this day in many countries, but the two main ones are: being fatherless, large, and having foreign blood/parent(s)

jotaro has blue eyes, jotaro was ‘fatherless’ at a young age, since his father is rarely ever around.

japan is known for its extreme bullying towards the nonconforming in both physical and mental aspects, search it up.

anyway, i feel like it would have been the best explanation for jotaro’s cold nature that developed at such a young age and how it effected the people around him because of the bullying he faced for having blue eyes or having an english woman as a mother, and so on.

it would have also explained why later on as he slightly matured he’d blame his mother and therefore be mean to her and call her rude shit--because he associated his mother to the bullies who mocked him for having a white mom--and also hate his father by extension bc he was labelled as ‘fatherless’.

he’d think that everyone is superficial and that intimidation is the best way to protect himself bc when he bulked up the boys stopped pestering him and the same girls who laughed at the sight of him being bullied now wanted to slip into his pants.

those insecurities would ten-fold maybe--was it just bc of his looks that ppl now like him? now that he’s grown, is he nothing beyond his looks?? does he, as a person, mean nothing to anyone?

is this why his mother is more withdrawn now--bc she realized this (’withdrawn’ being shes giving jotaro more space since hes always so grumpy, but he doesnt know this).

perhaps he couldve bonded with kakyoin beyond just sharing life and death experiences bc of similar school experiences--after all, its canon that kakyoin is suicidal, and maybe depression couldve been another topic explored--kakyoin is weirdly fierce for someone who is supposed to be a ‘weak/kindred soul’ as araki put it.

kakyoin has flaming red/pink hair--a major anomaly. he’s softspoken--yet another anomaly, since boys back then were supposed to be assertive.

it wouldve been cool to see them bond mutually from that--with kakyoin showing genuine interest in his input when he shows him his art, asks him for his opinion, and slowly as the 50 days progressed, he trusts kakyoin more than anything bc in anyones experience who’s faced similar experiences, once u open up enough to trust someone, u trust them completely.

same thing goes for the rest of the crew; theyre all strange, eccentric people and it would make sense that jotaro would embrace himself and those features he’s hated for all his life (the reason why he always wears his hat couldve been that it shadows over his eyes is to hide the ocean-blue hue of them)

back to his mom--yeah, he blames her, and the moment she gets sick, it worries him--a lot.

theres been moments in his life where he wishes she were dead, but when he saw her wilting on the ground, he fucking loses it.

reality crashes down him--it wouldve been profound if he only lost his shit in the beginning with only his mother and stayed calm and cool later on in the story. maybe after kakyoin is killed, he couldve really lost his shit if his relationship developed a ton--maybe he even admitted to him in one scene that he’d love to go to his favorite coffee shop with kakyoin and show him the places he loiters around (places that seem so bright now that the thought of kakyoin, his first real friend, would check out) bc after all, even if joot is built like an ox, he’s still a kid.

so, it wouldve been cool that the moment he finds out that kakyoin was killed, he fucking loses it--and this time, now that his stand in his complete control and he’s matured and learned from all his fights, he’s absolutely terrifying in his own way.

he doesnt lash out and freak out the way he did with his mother, but this time, the way he reacts here in his confrontation w dio was the same, if not worse way in part 4 when he destroys kira while he faced a ptsd episode (kudos to araki for throwing that scene in btw)

he doesnt respond to any of dio’s taunts and hits him with dirty moves--AND OMG... I FORGOT IF THIS HAPPENED CANONICALLY SO FORGIVE ME IF IT DID BUT IMAGINE IF HE FINISHES OFF DIO THE SAME WAY DIO KILLED KAKYOIN--WITH A GIANT HOLE IN HIS STOMACH???

AND HE JUST STANDS THERE, HOVERING OVER DIO, WITH THAT DEAD + ANGRY LOOK IN HIS EYES, and lets pretend that joseph is okay here, he needs to pull jotaro physically away from dio’s body bc jotaro just continues to beat his body to a bloody pulp and starts sobbing.

jotaro is a human, 17 year old boy who had no friends up until now. jotaro yearns normalcy--something that had seemed so out of reach till he became fast friends w kakyoin--kakyoin, who was the same person who complimented his eyes when his hat was off, the same person who had his back in fights and was so damn kind, and all of that was ripped away so suddenly.

part 3 ends with jotaro being weirdly kind to his mother--she reminded him a little of kakyoin, and tries his best to keep his emotions in check and not lash out on her.

the last panel is  of jotaro, a large, strong guy hunched over his desk with his phone loose in his hand, and a message was sent to kakyoin where it says:

"where are you? didnt you want to taste that cherry cheesecake i told you about?"

LIKE IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?? NOT A GLORIFIED 17 Y/O WHO CALLS HIS MOM A BITCH AND IS SUPER STRONG PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY??? LIKE???

JOTARO IS THE DEFINITION IS PHYSICALLY STRONG BUT MENTALLY STRUGGLING... he suffers to make any real connection throughout the entire series except for koichi bc i think he reminds him of kakyoin and then his daughter (to the people who’ve read part six: you know.)

HE WOULDVE BEEN SUCH A WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER--I BARELY TOUCHED THE ICEBERG BC THERE WAS SO MANY ROUTES ARAKI COULDA TAKEN WITH HIM BUT THIS IS WHAT WE GOT........

(omg sorry this is so long, i just feel like araki really fucked up w his earlier characters!!! i hope my ramble makes sense ;-;)

OOC; God fuck, I can't even type out a response to this. I tried for weeks, but I wasn't able to. But I agree so fucking hard. I love you man- like, I never met people who actually thought this way, all the jobros... ya know?

[relaxxattack]

honestly as someone who like genuinely has always struggled w not being mean to people and grew up with very little (and often no) empathy towards other people whenever others say that c!techno cant be criticized for not caring about others it always just. bothers me. i dont think he has to care about others if he doesnt like them but theres a big difference between not caring about strangers and not caring about people who you either used to be friends with and hurt (c!tubbo) or people who youve actively messed with and hurt because you know you could come out okay (c!quackity). its also, like mentioned, tied into the fact that he believes if it doesnt effect him it just Doesnt Matter that makes him an asshole, and a cruel one at that

im mean to people. im mean to strangers when they piss me off and i fuck with my friends and often i go too far but i dont fucking mock the people i hurt for feeling hurt if what ive done was genuinely kinda shitty so i work on making sure if i hurt someone and they feel hurt for good reason that i dont disvalue their feelings and i dont like that c!techno doesnt work on that. he doesnt need to be empathetic, he doesnt have to be friends with c!tubbo or c!quackity or even c!tommy or anyone hes hurt, but hes still a fuckin cruel asshole to them and for that he deserves criticism. for all his talk, his actions show that c!techno oft does not care for the suffering of others unless theyre people he cares about and for that he is cruel. what i want from the narrative is to either give c!techno consequences that actually effect him or for something at all to happen that makes c!techno change how he acts towards others. either lean into him being a villain or get him on the path of being an antag thats not as shitty anymore. a lot of people say c!techno doesnt need to change how he thinks and im gonna be honest i feel like hes gone so goddamn long without any change that i just cant agree with that anymore, yknow? -🎭🎪

i fully agree

as a nd person who literally tries my damndest to make up for when im shitty to people i dislike or don’t care about; having people claim c!techno is excused from that for being nd is like. so weirdly patronizing and offensive

🌟 FEBRUARY

⤷ the inauguration of my rpg mockups! even tho these didnt get that many notes, i learned a LOT about appropriate pixel size vs grid size, color theory, sprite animation, formatting menus, how much hubris i had for undertaking the work of professionals w my poor overworked laptop and gimp 2.10. i had all 7 members mocked out but there were too many math and formatting mistakes in my base for my perfectionist self to tolerate making more.....a moment of silence for chimrub, ggukdian, jinari (神) and their unrealized potential.........

⤷ in true 94z soulmate fashion, these two practically have the same note count, but im just sliiiiiiightly more partial to joon bc i actually planned out his palette beforehand! i know! me! planning ahead!!!! im also really proud of getting hobi's item skin just right.......those rainbows gave me so much grief bc airbrushing in squares is counter-intuitive

🌟 APRIL

most popular: piu~! u quiz on the block jinnie

⤷ what? you thought i would see u quiz on the block jin and NOT pixel him? banish the thought. i think this is the last time this year i leaned this heavily realistic rather than the more traditional abstract style of the medium. both have its challenges, but i find this more realistic approach to be less maddening despite the smaller size of pixel bc i didnt have to worry about details as much. and not worry my snap to grid function didnt poop out on me, gimp

What if – hear me out, but what if Kaneki was adopted by a ghoul after his mother died? You said ghouls adopt orphaned younglings. His aunt obviously doesn't want him so...

Like, imagine a ghoul seeing this young, obviously neglected kid and just going "I guess I'm a parent now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" and just picking this kid up and nobody freaking finds out. Kaneki continues going to school and the difference is that he now has a caring guardian and has to make his own food because said guardian genuinely thinks he can eat grass. The ghoul's trying tho. They also end up learning how to read and write if they didn’t know thanks to Kaneki.

Years later, if the steel beams incident still happens he's not freaking out as much because he was raised by a ghoul and knows some basics but still calls them up because he fell asleep and woke up with his rinkaku wrapped around himself. The ghoul parent freaks out at first but they can at least get the joy of teaching their child how to control their kagune and to hunt.

Okay I have IDEAS about mixed species families

Ghouls are on average much more protective of young than humans are, they had to evolve a sort of anxiety on behalf of unsafe kids in order to ensure someone would take the very large amount of ghoul orphans in. That instinct can very rarely get in the way when they come across a human kid in need, and oops they have a human kid now. Almost every time it’s just temporary until they can get them somewhere safe, but sometimes, if the child understands what caution must be taken for ghouls to survive and is willing to be a part of that world, they stay as permanent family

This happens most often with children who’s parents were eaten, some ghouls will take them in. It also happens because lots of ghouls hunt people they know are horrible so they don’t feel too bad about it, so a lot of abusive parents get turned into lunch meat leaving the kid to be taken in by the people who ate them

If the child is adopted young enough, they tend to end up with a whole lot of ghoul behaviors, especially if they have non human siblings. Even though they don’t come naturally to them, they’ll avoid eye contact with strangers or rub their sides against things as they walk or get in the playful mock battle stance at friends and family. The weird kid 11 year old that growls at people when he’s mad may just be raised by man eaters

The parents obviously have little knowledge about food, so they have to do their best to learn. The kids end up eating a whole lot of frozen or prepackaged dinners. Often the parents are persuaded into getting way more junk food than usual by their kids saying it’s healthy, it’s a whole lot of “that doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about human food to dispute it”

Theres a lot about humans they don’t know. They’ve never needed to do first aid, they don’t know how they get sick, and if the kid is Afab, well no ghoul has a period so that’s gonna suck to figure out

Ghouls are a gamble when it comes to older kids, sometimes seeing teens as a threat, but could still take them in. If a teenager gets kicked out for whatever (likely bigoted) reason and finds a ghoul with a stable home, they’re more likely than a human to take them in

If they had close ghoul siblings, by the time they’re adults they sometimes go on hunts with them. RIP to other humans but they’re built different

Adopting a human is a mutually beneficial thing. The child gets a loving home and the parents get a living breathing diversion from suspicion. Hard to suspect your neighbors of being ghouls when you see their son happily eat his food or scraps his knee on pavement

These kids, as they grow up, are safer from other ghouls than most people. They smell like their ghoul family, they know ghoul identities, and they know how to spot fake eating and hunting methods. All ghouls need to do is smell that they reek of ghoul and know that clearly someone has already claimed this person as theirs and might kill them if they hunt this human

Because of all this, if Kaneki had been taken in by a ghoul, I doubt he ever would have been involved in the steel beam incident to begin with. He would probably know that Anteiku is a ghoul haven and Rize probably would have avoided hunting a claimed human

Finals - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket)

ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to [make it to the finals]

Propaganda below ⬇️

Gabriel

Well he's an angel so I'm taking him being catholic as canon. There are a lot of themes in the game that point to catholisism specifically.

He's so fucking funny. he listens to nine inch nails and quotes one of the songs in a fight basically "fight me like an animal". he and v1 kind of have this yuri thing going on. he has an official bodypillow. hes a metaphor for being excommunicated and no one gets him like me and my friends do

The *true* Catholic experience is leaving the church and having a gay awakening, ask anyone

its debatable if Gabriel truly believes he's "the one true savior" or is mocking the idea of it

ok im actually gonna write some gabe propaganda bc despite what you may expect from a game called ULTRAKILL theres a lot to be said about his character and how catholicism is represented

Gabriel is a genuinely caring person who struggles to square his desire to help people with his duty as an archangel. He's the only one in Heaven trying to make things better for those in Hell, but his faith is used to manipulate him into committing atrocities against the people he used to protect (see the "TRAITOR" mural in 4-2)

he only realizes his mistakes after losing everything and being sentenced to death, but he still decides with only a little time remaining to try and make things right. for the sake of spoilers i will just say that the measures he takes are... extremely drastic and very enjoyable. i just really like the idea that even facing the end of all living things, no matter how steep your crimes, it is never too late to fix your mistakes. you are never unworthy forgiveness.

hes also SO FUCKING GAY for this dumb little robot. it mauled him so hard he tasted his own blood and he fell in love right there. theres no way this guy has a normal healthy relationship to pain he is soooooooooo fucked. i love him. please vote for Gabriel "patron saint of gay lapsed catholics" Ultrakill !!!!!!!!

Doomguy

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT DOOMSLAYER IN HERE

In the books he’s canonically Catholic. Haven’t played enough of the games to know but I think they keep it vague in the games. The books are pretty divergent from the games in some ways though so idk

Literally insane. Kills demons because of murder of pet rabbit. Traps himself in hell to give demons more whoopass.

In addition to being Catholic, Doomguy is canonically celibate, meaning he is, in fact, eligible to become the Pope. He’s also very proficient in exorcisms, if “blasting demons into a bloody mess with a shotgun” counts as an exorcism.

Literally kills demons & his universe’s equivalent of Satan

HE GOES TO HELL like 5 times to fight demons and protect earth. He’s also canonically celibate.
