I finally finished yippieeee~ the template is by @amoexii (thank you!) ((updated?))
Riley is willing to break rules to keep his friends safe, gain an advantage or just for fun. He shows his affection through teasing and tends to be generally playful. Most of all Riley likes caring for his appearance and coordinating outfits together! Huge romantic at heart and unafraid to show affection platonically and romantically! He feels validated being able to express his love by being allowed to be affectionate. He DOES respect and understand boundaries of course!! If Riley notices the person is reserved and dislikes being touched, he shows affection in others ways like praises and gift giving. He’s a very passionate person! Riley is a very tricky person when it comes to his emotions. He is easily upset and quick to lose temper if he feels like he’s being mocked or humiliated. He holds grudges and he WILL let you know. Sneers, roll of eyes, sarcastic comments and nasty side eyes. Riley is actually quite a considerate person and tries to be patient but he is still young and immature. When Riley gets older he starts to slowly heal from past bad experiences and starts to be much more relaxed and less quick to anger. He feels his emotions intensely and it manifests in his magic control. When he loses control sometimes his spells won’t cast from lack of concentration or he accidentally casts destructive bursts of magic around him. Glass and objects flown around are typically at the scene after a really bad temper episode. But these are rare. Riley feels shame immediately after these. They were what started ‘the rumors and the whispers’ around him before he started attending hogwarts.
Slytherin traits(cunning, ambitious and a drive for success)-
Riley could have easily been placed in gryffindor due to his bold personality and decision making. But he best fit slytherin because of his unashamed ability to resort to manipulation and deception in order to get ahead of others or get what he wants. He’s aware of how important it is to make connections in order to get ahead in life. He keeps in mind everyone’s secrets that he discovers and information he gathers for future use(Just in case…). He’s not above blackmailing either. When he has his mind set on something he will see it to the end no matter how long it takes. He hates failing but he hates not taking initiative more. ‘What ifs’ and ‘but’ are things he tries actively to ignore.

I don't think Kaiba would have a problem with the students at his academy getting really into electrocution cage matches and giving themselves heart conditions over it I think he would just nod approvingly at their dedication to the duelist's path. Non-issue honestly. Also unrelatedly I do not think this school staffs any guidance counselors

Do you ever think about Azula after Zuko's banishment and before she was sent on her mission? About the time it was just her and Ozai? Because I do.
Her worst fear is being what Zuko is to their father. It's easy to look at her smirking while she watches Ozai light Zuko’s face on fire and think that she enjoys her brother’s suffering, but from the day she was born, Zuko has been the bad example. The scapegoat. The failure she exists to surpass. Where he is disrespectful, she will be obedient. Where he is weak, she will be strong. She will make Ozai proud. She will be perfect. She has to be. Because if she isn’t -
well, in that moment she sees that for herself. Iroh looks away, but she doesn’t. This eleven-year-old child watches the whole gory scene that her experienced general uncle can’t stomach, because this is a lesson for her as well, that’s why Father had her be here, and so she must not let herself tremble or cry or flinch or scream. Zuko is. That means she can’t. Instead she will do the exact opposite, smile with a princess’s proper posture.
Then Zuko is banished. He will most likely never return - most likely die young. He isn’t around to be the foil under her jewel anymore, making her shine brighter simply by contrast. (Or to play with her or comb her hair. But it isn’t useful or becoming to miss those moments. She isn’t a child anymore; her childhood was burned through like Zuko’s skin.) All Ozai’s attention is on her. All her people’s hope in the next generation of royalty rests in her. If she doesn’t hold her shoulders back and keep her head high, she will collapse under the weight of her nation’s future. Zuko got what he deserved. Just as whatever happens to her, she deserves it too.
How many nightmares does she have? How many times does she flinch or shake when her father touch her? Or force herself not to? How many times does she smell burning hair and flesh and hear her brother’s agony when she spoke her own opinion in a war meeting? How much does she secretly grieve him, and scold herself for it?
#look all i'm saying is azula has to have ptsd from that day too#on top of the c-ptsd that comes free with being raised by ozai#if she was in her right mind in 'into the inferno' i doubt that she would challenge zuko to agni kai#we all know that she would and does duel him with firebending while sane#(you know sane with c-ptsd)#but i don't think azula 'kept trying to bring zuko home no matter what he did to her in season two' of the fire nation#would specifically frame it as an agni kai#she just understandably has learned extremely shitty ways of showing it#she definitely has love for him#i mean in ‘crossroads of destiny’#she could have just taken him prisoner but she swayed him to return to her side willingly#she just wants her loved ones to chose her and they never do#at least not for long before a betrayal#i have too many feelings about this flamethrower child and this is just an attempt to articulate some of them#princess azula#azula#ozai#fire lord ozai#fire nation royal family#fire family

"I always felt that Obi-Wan would rather not fight Maul here. [He] would want to see change in Maul, he would want to see that Maul's grown as well. When it becomes apparent that Maul is not, that he's still evil and unwilling to let go of these things, Obi-Wan knows he's going to have to fight because he must protect those that need protecting. It's just his way." - Dave Filoni, Star Wars: Rebels, “Twin Suns” commentary, 2017
#Almost finished my fan-comic adaptation of the “Twin Suns” duel#Ben Kenobi#Maul#Darth Maul#Obi-Wan Kenobi#Twin Suns#star wars rebels#Inspired by#takehiko inoue#Vagabond#specifically the duel between Musashi Miyamoto and Ito Ittosai#Fan-Art

https://www.tumblr.com/rist-ix/749015401700229120 not you reblogging this when you ship bloom with the man who murdered her family 😭
Bloom's into ppl who slay! Hope this helps :3
#alright snark and ship wars aside i get where you’re coming from tho#if you're genuinely interested in my thought process here i would love to elaborate#which is exactly what I’ll do!#first of all! the post you linked is about headcanons#which my brain kinda wants to put into a whole different category than ships — fandom ships in particular! — but i can leave that aside#because there IS an argument to be made that relationships are an extension of characterization and personality traits#if you wanna go that route i would wanna explain that Bloom's and/or Valtor's interest in the other is in fact based on canon#(even though I don’t really think ships need to be established in the source material. make shit up that’s what fandom is for#1) the Andros episode speaks for itself. Valtor specifically tells the Trix to back off because HE wants to be the one to fight bloom#2) the episode before that he asks questions about her (and only her; even though he has more powerful enemies to worry about)#demonstrating curiosity about and interest in her#3) that same episode (or the one before; can’t remember) is their infamous first meeting#where time LITERALLY slows down as the pass each other on the stairs#they get IMPACT FRAMES#the whole color palette changes!!!#idk about u but I eat that shit up. love the drama of it all no one does it like them#I’m gonna skip all the instances where Valtor is spying on Bloom through his little scrying spell because oh god who has the time#let’s go straight to Bloom#if I had a week I would not be able to collect all the moments where she growls his name in pure fury and single-minded determination#she gets a little bit obsessed with him over the course of the season and I personally think that’s very sexy of her#Bloom is known for her tunnel vision when it comes to her past and origins and Valtor's existence fits PERFECTLY into that#it ties in neatly with her overarching story of the past 2 seasons#literally PERFECT foils#which always makes for the juiciest stories#4) she singles him out for a duel in the museum episode#5) she can literally feel his presence#6) the mere mention of his name sends her into her weird faux enchantix#of course there’s no romance in canon but there’s TENSION AND CHEMISTRY which is all u really need for a ship#all their animosity and bad blood is what makes it so INTERESTING to wonder how they COULD work. it’s the spice that makes for good fanfic!

Mokuba: Father said we're not to cry.
Seto: That is because father is incapable of human emotion. You are 10 cry if you feel like it.

my favourite part of wall-e is that auto isnt like type of antagonist ai that wants humanity dead,and hes instead the antagonistic ai opposite where he wants humans to keep living on the axiom because he thinks hes the most capable at taking care of them,and even after seeing proof of life starting to grow back on earth he still wont break away from the idea that the passengers will survive better with him,rather than trust that earth can be helped anytime soon,,,,its so peak and i think about it a lot,,hes was built to assist his passengers for the duration of a cruise but was forced by circumstance and bnl to take his job a bit too seriously,,,,like theres the part where he might feel selfish and wants to prevent himself from becoming obsolete if the axiom does land on earth with him still confined to it,,but also theres a reason the dystopic life of the passengers includes the robots taking care of everything for them,,because auto does want to do everything for them,he feels like he has to and has been for 700 years,,even if his methods are a bit soul crushing by human standards,,,, anyway i love auto from wall-e because he has emotional turmoil not yet discovered by humans
#i could post this one thr blog i made specifically for talking about auto from walle but i could also make this fixation duel wield my blogs#anyway side theory that thats also why auto is able to speak fully because it was by choice to help fill the role of taking care of humans#if i could make video essays to analyse characters forever i would make one on auto in a heartbeat#i keep thinking about it and that one on king candy is so cool and kinda inspiring i wanna do smth like that

You know, if you think about it, Dooku did technically die at a ripe old age, doing what he loved, surrounded by his grandchildren. And if you think about the fact that his headless, handless corpse got sucked out into Coruscant’s atmosphere during the breakup of the Invisible Hand, it’s not NOT dissimilar to the Serennian death rites where they place their dead on funeral moons that orbit Serenno, AND if you think about the fact that Coruscant and the Jedi Temple was really the only true home he ever knew for most of his life AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT…
#by doing what he loved I mean lightsabers#I do not actually think RotS Dooku was um doing so super great you know... overall?#that whackass Stover novelization literally has him CRYING in front of Sidious and needing to be told to compose himself before the duel#“I’m just so happy to lose on purpose to this kid I hate and go into whatever the fuck an honarable captivity means it’s soso fine”#Oh no okay I'm back to sad again#Being a Dooku stan is such a trip#a bad one#a specifically bad trip#count dooku

i feel like almost everything in utena has sort of already been extensively discussed in the last two (almost three) decades of utena's existence (not that there aren't new interpretations to be made, there always are) besides black rose arc (mikage+mamiya+tokiko). which is why they're so much fun to think about. i think the need to read between the lines makes it unfortunately easy to misunderstand or look past obvious stuff if you don't pay attention, but to me it's always been really obvious that mikage's arc is a literal representation of the erasure of queerness in ohtori (society?) by akio/everything he represents. and that's so fucking tragic! nemuro was never able to find a name for his desires. he lived and died as a puppet in the shadows.
#rgu#i think sadly that trigger warning list that people always passed around kind of stunted discussion bc of the assumptions it made#like. i think its okay to say that mikage/nemuro was always in love with mamiya and not tokiko#not that its impossible to interpret him as bisexual (similar to how people see utena as bisexual)#but his love for mamiya is what changed his life (same for utena/her meeting anthy)#one scene i never see people bring up is how#at one point mikage says that attaining eternity wouldn't even make 'her' happy#and then akio questions '''her'' you say?'#the only reason mikage thinks attaining eternity wouldnt even make 'her' i.e 'tokiko' happy is because he just had a conversation#with mamiya where he admitted the whole endeavor was making him unhappy#if anything it would have made tokiko happy to attain eternity and forever preserve her brother like a dead flower#which is what akio does with anthy! so fucked!#ALSO another thing#is that mikage sees utena as tokiko returned#just like how utena meets 'dios' - returned as akio#he claims he will finally beat tokiko - in this place (the dueling arena) - which is kind of foreshadowing utena fighting akio?????#anthy!mamiya says to mikage in the black rose musical:#“You can’t win against her. You will eternally lose to my sister who dwells in your memories.”#or “You will never beat my sister; who dwells in your memories.” in the nozomient translation#which makes so much sense because anthy couldn't believe utena could win against akio either#god i could literally keep going#by read between the lines i mean like how akio actively tries to lie to the audience by saying things like#'mamiya was created for you out of your lingering attachment to tokiko'#of course nemuro/mikage being gay isn't all there is to him bc like always everything in utena has 1000 layers#really love the general theme of becoming static and unchanged forever bc of our attachment to nostalgia/memories/eternity#(re: can't grow up)#tho in mikages case he is literally just a ghost summoned by akio. which the utena sega saturn vn confirms#also definitely people talk about black rose arc (i.e me right now) but i feel like the majority of the fandom kind of side steps it#on tumblr specifically at least?? im not on the fansite forums or discord#rgu meta

God made yuya and yusaku not exist in the same universe because he knew they would be unstoppable as canon best friends
#yuya who is in misery and agony and despair over his self image vs yusaku who dgaf#like yuya is dealing w so much wrt identity issues and yusaku being someone whos comfortable not having an identity#(being anonymous being a forgotten child etc)#and yusaku is so at peace in his own skin (though not necessarily comfortable) and yuya Isnt.#in a way that i think being friends with yusaku would be so good for him. especially because yuya is literally surrounded by -#- insane theater kid superstar wannabes constantly in his everyday life#and yusaku is so Not That. yusaku who lives in obscurity and specifically does everything he can to Avoid being in the spotlight#the spotlight yuya feels like he Has To take#yusaku also i think would be blunt with yuya in a way that he needs. yusaku is like. it doesn't seem like you're enjoying dueling very much.#why do you keep doing it?#and yuya short circuits. why DOES he keep doing it?#arc v#vrains#.txt
