How do you think Homelander would feel if he had a partner who was into spooky stuff like horror movies/games and like the occult? I want to say he’d be indifferent but I can imagine his partner like infodumping to him about some new movie they heard of or some new true crime podcast and he’d be like “oh wow,,,,,” LMAO

I feel like he might be a bit nicer about it though, esp if they’ve been like bullied for it and stuff before but even then hmm

I honestly think he'd enjoy having a partner just talk at lengths about something. Especially if he gets some sweet sweet cuddles at the same time, almost dozing off. Or the classic of having his head in your lap while you just chat. It gives him the opportunity to just do nothing and enjoy himself. There's no need to perform, no need to impress. All he has to do is listen!

He wouldn't be the best at taking in all the info. Purely because he's half in his own world and half listening to you. But I don't see him making fun of you, at most just making playful jabs at how much of a tv or true crime nerd you were being!

I think he would still indulge you in sharing your hobbies or participating as a watcher in any sort of way. Because he desperately wants to relate to the people around him.

Deep deep fear that one day all my friends are gonna decide they just don't wanna talk to me anymore for whatever reason and unfortunately, I won't get the memo and will keep trying and that'll just make them hate me more :(

it's been a while since vasco and machete stargazing was brought up, but I distinctly remember you wondered if machete would be able to see the stars at all. i asked my old teacher who's albinistic and proudly calls herself "the mole" due to her being almost legally blind. and she can see really bright stars on clear nights when she's not in an overly light polluted area. so good news! machete can stargaze

not the biggest localization change but in tsukasa's 2023 white day line he refers to toya as "otouto-kun" and they translated it like this and it just makes me personally sad (toya & tenmas siblings enthusiast)

god that annoyed me as well, it's not like they didn't have enough space in the textbox or anything so i don't know why they cut it. like they've said it before that they think of each other as siblings, and it would add a bit more depth to their translation (especially if players haven't read many stories yet), so why not say it? i guess you can get the vibes from their translation but it's still a shame.

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character(s)?

oh. oh we could be here for DAYS. okay. I'll do the first five characters that come to mind, and ONE thing for each character I'm thinking about lol

Sakura- because who else would I start with? I think the biggest pet-peeve I have with general characterization of her is she's just. too normal. Whether you're writing her as a lovesick teenager or a terrifying baby badass, so many people tend to overlook that she does NOT have typical responses to situations. She has moodswings. She's impulse. Her empathy is abysmally low. her capacity for self confidence should be studied. she's an annoying know-it-all. her priorities are FUCKED. The problem is that she THINKS she's the most normal person in any given room, and too many viewers have fallen for her act. she felt accountability for 5 seconds and proceeded to poison all of her friends to try and go kill sasuke without stopping to ask herself if that's even something she's emotionally capable of trying (it isn't).

Minato- honestly, my main complain about him is similar in principle- people ALSO write him as a Normal Cool Guy, because that's how he presents and thinks of himself. He's the Ideal Shinobi, almost perfect, almost a messiah, given how people- in and out of universe- talk about him. But the thing is...he is the Ideal Shinobi. And, by nature of that, there is something deeply wrong with him. He killed an entire army's worth of people in a day and is remembered as a peace-maker. Kishimoto thinks this is normal, so the narrative thinks Minato is a good guy, so he's remembered fondly in the story and most of the fandom. Kishimoto is wrong. Minato was suited for the life and glory of an S-Rank shinobi in the sort of way we only see otherwise presented in heartless nuke-nin for the rest of the show.

Sasuke- Everything that Sasuke has ever, ever done has been for love. He doesn't move a muscle without thinking about the people he loves. His heart doesn't beat unless it can do so for someone else. People miss this because of his obsession with revenge or whatever, but he was doing that out of love for his clan. for his family. for, even, his brother, who he somehow devestatingly loved even before he knew Itachi wasn't to blame. Itachi set his entire world on fire when he was seven and then put him in a torture hallucination replaying it for days, and Sasuke still loved him. After everything he heard Danzo did, he still gave that bastard the chance to plea his case before killing him. Sasuke doesn't have a single cruel bone in his body.

Hinata- Hinata is a fighter. She loves, and she watches, and she's never met a fight she won't pick given half a chance. She put herself between her father's wrath and her sister. She fought Neji because Naruto was cheering on the sidelines. She only managed to confess her love when she jumped in to an impossible fight against Pein for Naruto. I don't think she ever wins a fight in Naruto (which is bullshit), but that's never hindered her undying fighting spirit.

Obito- Obito's tricky cause his characterization is contradictory and murky by nature so it's hard to argue the details of it, but you will never get me on board with a canon interpretation of him that isn't literally chronically dissociated for his entire adult life. I don't think he knows his name. I don't think he's looked in a mirror in years. I don't think he can tell you the date. I don't think he's felt anything but conviction since he held Rin's body in his arms.

IM STOPPING THERE. I CAN DO THIS FOREVER BUT I'M STOPPING THERE.

ro reactions to “this is for you ___” *misses* in front of a crowd

Anon, you're going to need to clarify this because my brain went straight to "throwing a punch and missing" which I doubt is correct but I can't picture anything else-

Whether it's already the 1st or still the 31st for you, Happy New Year everyone!

I've updated the QSMP VOD Timestamp Archive to include a section for 2024 timestamps. It's wild to think I've done this for (nearly) a year.

some kel sketches i'm working on

[sporeclan]

is it alright if i make stimboards for some of your cats? its totally okay if not!!

OMG yes of course!! I'd love to see what you come up with if you end up making something!!! <3<3<3

@looking-at-other-ppls-stuff

YAYY I'm glad to see a fellow Zelda enjoyer in the wild!! :D I've been a huge fan of the series since I was a kid, and played every game on release since Skyward Sword! I think the only games I've yet to play at least once is proobably the Oracle games, but the gameboy's sound chip gives me a migraine so I think I'm better off anyhow :') Glad you could get some joy out of my blatant nerdiness though haha! <3

Honestly, it really depends on what motivates you! My main drive to keep drawing is seeing all the lovely responses to what happens to my little group of silly kitties <3 But I do have a few tips;

- I personally like to only play about 5 moons ahead at a time, so that you can play a little between a couple pages. It keeps it feeling fresh for me

- Don't feel obligated to post on a schedule, and if you do decide to do so, be kind and lenient to yourself about it. Stressing yourself out about making the comic is just gonna ruin the fun of it.

- Try not to spend too much time perfecting every little detail of a page. At least for me, spending too much time on a single piece tends to leave me frustrated and bored.

- It's also important to follow general art advice; remembering to take breaks, stretch, get some fresh air and drink some water really does do wonders for mood!

I think that's about it?? Good luck with your clan if you decide to go for it though!! <3

The fact Homelander seems to have a Pavlovian response to cameras where he just smiles no matter what got me thinking about how much angsty potential there is in that. It's obviously something that's been drilled into him, and we know he's got a bunch of facades up at any given moment, especially when he's in public (some Vought manufactured, some self-defensive). Even people who see through some of them, like the boys, don't see through all of them. But I also refuse to believe, even with how Vought propaganda saturated the world of the show is, that someone somewhere doesn't see footage like the clips of him at the red carpet event for Dawn of the Seven and wonder if he's okay. Even if that concern comes with a side order of wariness. Anyway, the point of this rambling is: I was just thinking about an SO catching him smiling fakely and just generally performing when they're no longer in public, perhaps after a rather draining event or something, and it doesn't sit right with them. They gently (verrrrry gently) remind him the cameras are gone now. I think he'd react with at least some indignation and denial at being called out so easily, but at the end of the day they don't want him pretending to be happy if he's not - because they don't actually want him to be perfect (again, I'm sure he'd have mixed feelings about that) - so I think he'd be kinda caught off guard that someone noticed him performing but has reacted with empathy rather than wariness. And then I think he'd want to just lie with his head in their lap for a while. Apologies for splurging in your inbox! This ask is way too long oh my. But do you see my vision?

I see your vision and I LOVE IT.

The moment when he realizes they love him for more than just the Homelander public persona that most fans adore him for... Nobody who got to know him without the cameras has ever actually loved him. So I think this would be a big shock to him. Everyone else has found him off-putting, downright maniacal. But you just tell him that he doesn't have to pretend anymore and I feel like that'd break his perception of you. Like he can just be...himself?? To be with someone who loves him more when he's not performing?

He'd eat it right up. And you're absolutely right, all of this always ends with him getting his cuddles.

hey sorry if this is weird lol but if its not any trouble do u think u could change the text color on ur theme (desktop) to solid black? the lower contrast gray on white makes it really hard for me to read. BESIDES THAT ! those weird anons can suck it up and go outside tbh no media on the planet is 'completely unproblematic' or whatever. wish tumblrites could get it thru their thick skulls its far more valuable to learn to recognize and critique shitty elements rather than avoid them entirely

so sorry for replying to this so late i wanted to wait until i was on desktop so i wouldn't forget to actually do it! my apologies for not considering it might be hard to read for people, i changed it now.

also you're so right! i think many people are either scared to touch problematic media at all or are scared to admit the media they like has problematic aspects. i do understand that, it doesn't sound super great to say "yeah this show is cool but it's got some transphobic undertones, aside from that i like it" but often it do be like that. like you said, it's more valuable to learn media literacy and critical thinking instead of avoiding everything or blindly accepting everything!

saw ur post abt doing requests again sorry ur feeling down but i was curious to hear if u have any headcanons abt whether or not Randy has a healing factor or if he just abides by regular cartoon logic :P

Thank you. I really do appreciate that. Things are still rough, but improving to say the least.

This is actually a really good question and I'm going to hopefully cover the full bases with this! So on one thing, I don't feel he abides solely on cartoon logic. The way I've always seen it: the suit does have failsafes to protect the Ninja. This does mean there's a healing factor taking place while the wearer is in the suit. Mostly, what it does is speed up the healing process!

Unfortunately, this does not come without setbacks. I do firmly believe the Ninja might still come out with scars; the suit just prevents them from dying or bleeding out. Since the suit itself is, of course, magic and infused with some level of healing properties.

In Randy's case, he 100% does have scars. Essentially, the wounds close up to a certain point and depending on how deep they go, it might place the injured party into a sort of stasis/sleep before they can move again. It won't last for too long, anywhere between a few hours to even 48 hours (2 days), but normally it wouldn't last for that long.

I don't think I have anything else to add, but I figured why not the full scope of my thoughts. Of course, the suit can't do anything if its current owner is injured outside of the suit, and the healing factor won't fully come into play. If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know! Enjoy~
