#straight up RAMBLING BRO

[aimless-dubs]

Ok this has to sound weird af but.

The first part of burning spice’s appearance wiki entry just….sounds like him describing himself. So uh. Can you dub over the first part of his appearance in his voice, thank you- if not that’s ok too

ANON HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE MOST INTELLIGENT PERSON ON EARTH. yeah I ABSOLUTELY will voice this when I get the chance YOU’RE SO RIGHT

[superherotiger]

Omg I love your theories, they're so angsty and that last line gut punched me like 😭

And I would LOVE to ramble about my DoFP Dadneto AU, but I'll put it under a read more to spare any innocent bystanders from the thesis I'm about to write 🤣

Okay OKAY so first I need to start by saying this AU was the very first Dadneto fic I ever started writing but because I never finished it it was never posted 😭 I did manage to turn it into an animatic during the @house-of-dadneto event in June though which I was SO happy about!!

Basically, as my little headcanon goes, Erik and Peter are always destined to meet regardless of the timeline, and in the original timeline that Logan travelled from Peter still broke his father out of the Pentagon but much later than we see in the movie. Erik is actually imprisoned for 24 years and in that time the sentinels advance rapidly due to Trask getting his hands on Raven's DNA. Mutants quickly become a target worldwide and the war starts to rage.

Peter tries his best to protect his family -especially Wanda who is also a mutant- but during an attack from sentinels she ends up sacrificing herself so he can get Lorna and their mother away. As the sentinels become stronger, Peter decides the only way he can protect what remains of their family is to go on the run, and his mother tells him to find his father- the one they call Magneto.

After years of fleeing from sentinels and tracking down any leads he can about his father, Peter becomes stubborn, cold, and sharp. His carefree nature is gone, replaced with a bitter confidence, and by the time he finds Erik he is very different to the teenager we see in DoFP.

This Peter doesn't hesitate to reveal their connection, shocking Erik but giving him a newfound resolve when he gets out and sees what the world has come to. Erik gathers a Brotherhood to fight against the sentinels with Peter being his unspoken second in command and they grow closer as the years pass.

Tragedy eventually strikes though when Peter is impaled by a sentinel while trying to save his father, and Erik is left a broken man as he buries his only son with a metal rose he made from his own helmet. Hearing his mental distress, Charles seeks out Erik with what remains of his X-Men and implores him to join them for their final attempt to undo all the horrors that their past caused.

Erik agrees, knowing that a new timeline may mean he never meets his son again, but it's worth it so long as Peter is alive.

Thankfully Logan has no qualms about introducing them to each other in the new timeline too though hahah!

And yeah- that's pretty much it 🤣 I actually have a big chunk of writing in this AU but it's nearly two years old so I'd probably want to go back and revise it. I had planned to show how Erik lost Peter in one fic and then write another one comprised of all the parallels between the two timelines, like the Pentagon breakout etc.

Thank you for listening to my nonsensical rambling! ✨ I can't stop thinking about them lol

You know what would be funny? If the First Spinjitzu Master either didn’t know how powerful they were or just straight up didn’t know they had powers before creating Ninjago.

Like:

Baby fsm: I'm going to see if I can create a bit of land so I can stay in this realm!

Baby fsm: *Creates massive continent complete with flora and fauna*

Baby fsm: What

[annchanorsomethin]

I may or may not have lost my sanity since the first trailer for The Bad Guys 2 came out. Literally been brimming with thoughts and theories for almost a week now and dying inside because everyone I'm annoying with this I do not want to spoil lol. But creativity has struck me so after 2 years here I am again :)

The artwork and some brain ramblings will be under the cut since I got at least three people following me that I don't want to spoil what's coming

So here we go :)

"You seem to have forgotten why you are here... PRINCE"

I've been wondering for a while now how his disguise actually works and how the movie will handle it. Personally, I think it could go one of two ways. Either it's essentially a suit like in the books with all his limbs stuffed inside or a disguise he morphed himself into. And while the first one seems more likely, and I don't mind either being true, I found the second option quite interesting in a design and logic aspect, especially when considering his appearances from the first movie.

When he actually does walk around in a costume, we can see that his whiskers poke out. Flaw in the costume? A device for foreshadowing? Perhaps. But maybe, if his disguise was actually a meticulously crafted and trained on appearance, he doesn't even turn the small details of his disguise off, due to doing it subconsciously at this point.

His hair also behaves quite odd if it were just essentially a body suit, as it morphs with how he likes to appear - either neat and innocent or frazzled and crazy. Additionally his hair during his reveal does match the squiggles of tentacles quite a little bit, no?

Besides, there might be a reason why he wasn't shown at all in the trailer. Maybe he doesn't quite look like he used to... I like to think that his disguise is starting to falter after his defeat. He isn't seen as the innocent little piggy anymore and we all know what's coming after his reveal, so why keep up appearances? The way I drew him depicts this process, the crumbling of his disguise. His true colours start showing through, he doesn't bother concealing it anymore. Although maybe, he clings on a little bit after all, just as long as he is conspiring with a certain someone to achieve his goals from the dark, but it's all slowly falling apart...

But who knows, I might just be talking crazy :) So long we can only wait for the next trailer and the movie itself to see what will be his entire deal...

ladies and gentlemen. we got em

[thebigqueer]

its so crazy to be in non-queer-friendly spaces because to me i think its just so normal to see queer people making out becuase i have a larger support group and a lot of the spaces and activities i do are very queer-friendly. but then i get hit in the face when im not in a queer-friendly space because all of a sudden everyones riled up by two girls making out on the wall at a party and its like i should have expected that but also its the biggets culture shock ever

[catinasink]

yeah no i Do think im hot tbh

[sega-saturn-arcade]

i think about this sometimes but I post content of mes that are different from the canon. I draw specific things with me. sometimes if i’m proud, i share it with a wider audience. i think it should be a “who cares” because it’s ME, but I worry about how people will interpret my infodump or my art.

i have always been a big, big advocate for media literacy and looking into characterization deeper and understanding a character from another perspective. i think people dumbing down a character to, “awhh wehh my sweetie he’s nice deep down he’s just mean on the outside” especially when it’s a villian makes me rip my hair out.

But it’s different when it’s kin stuff. Maybe the person portraying themselves like that is because they DID feel that way.

But I can’t draw something or infodump about my life and state, “by the way this is me and how i acted i’m not just disregarding the canon character i promise” every time because outside of kin spaces people don’t take kindly to fictionkin

because i acknowledge the canon character. whether or not i go “well that’s wrong and actually they [i] wouldn’t do that” it’s still somehow weaved into the canon character’s behavior because i still do my best to understand it

and the other issue is like, the whole “just make an oc at that point.” But i’m NOT an oc. I am the guy, even if i remember being vastly different. there’s not a point in drawing kin art if im not drawing ME, is there?

i just wish to not come across as someone who ignores the canon and thinks they know better about the media when they just really do not put the care to learn jack shit about the media they’re consuming

[stanleyvampire14]

Oh hey cool Rika’s up there

So guys

I played the Violet DLC (part 1, haven’t played part 2)

She’s so fine (respectfully/p)

Plus selfie because why not she’s a photographer who doesn’t take photos with the photographer

Plus even more DLC photos that I took that I don’t want to take up the whole post so I’ll cut this off

HE JUST NEEDED A FRIEND BRO PLEASE WHY DID I HAVE TO LIE (we stole a legendary from him and lied basically)

[its-coda]

I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed Ghost Trick! It's one of my personal favourite games so I'm happy that more people will be able to check it out! But honestly, it is so geniusly written, it's insane.

Like one of my favourite things is there is actually loads of hints towards Sissel's true identity but because they don't dwell on them or they make jokes about them, they just go over your head on your first playthrough. Y'know... Stuff like how he can't read, or how he can see in the dark, or how he torments mice a lot... Stuff like that. It's so clever and I adore it.

Also, because this is one of my favourite twists, what was your reaction to learning Ray's identity?

HUGE GHOST TRICK SPOILERS M’KAY.

Seriously playing this game blind was the best decision i’ve ever made bc i mostly play games AFTER i get spoilers bc i need to know if i would like it, but since literally everyone is THAT tight-lipped about spoilers i figured it would be Good.

Sometime after Yomiel’s introduction, i had a loose theory that he was Ray, but i had serious doubts bc well, it wouldn’t make sense. I do remember Lynne saying Ray had the voice of an old man so for a while i thought he would be a completely new character, but since it was late game, it’d be unlikely. SO YEAH. I COULDN’T HAVE EXPECTED THAT. I also kept wondering how Yomiel was Still Here since we were told ghosts only last for a day. Of course since we were told repeated times that Yomiel was powerful, i thought he was the exception. I think sometime in the final chapter when i started questioning who Ray was, i also started questioning if that part was a lie, because the whole incident is happening Today.

My favorite twist was the Sissel reveal. God that whole chapter was so so good. I’m gonna be honest as i was playing it, the few chapters before the finale was ““disappointing”” for me, for a lack of better word. Like for a while i didn’t like the ‘power from outer space’ thing and i completely didn’t see how they would reach a good conclusion.

BOY WAS I WRONG. The last chapter was a huge Holy Fucking Shit moment for me, and the way they told Yomiel and Sissel’s past was. Aough. EVERYTHING played a part in the whole story and almost every detail is relevant i’m still losing my mind over it.

I also thought for a while like, “revenge? THAT’S his only motive for this?” But then they managed to get his feelings across so well and like, i DO understand?? I fucking love Yomiel.

I’m very much in love with how much foreshadowing they threw in without dwelling on them, but also occasionally mentioned in a way that you just have a feeling that it’s relevant In Some Way.

I fucking love this game. I’m gonna be thinking about this for at least a few more days.

[narwhalandchill]

the unfortunate thing abt the narwhals 4.2 appearances is that both in those kind of dynamic cutscenes and bossfights alike there are set limitations in terms of scale given the model kinda. Has to actively be there moving in game environments . and as huge (& beautiful 🥰) as the narwhal Is even within those (particular props to how the model dimensions warp and get way bigger during the swallowing animation kinda implying how big its Actually intended to be). its also just Not That Massive for a creature whose whose sheer size in lore is p much described as like. genuinely incomprehensible . that casually consumes entire worlds and hosts newborn ones within its stomach. Like its just a Bit tiny for what youd expect (but very cute and stunning!!! With lovely animations!! Dearest)

But that also makes the subject of its Actual In Lore Size very funny bc it lets you kinda. Forget about that aspect for a little bit and then you go back to the 4.1 scene like

Right. Right.

THATS the all-devouring narwhal we are talking about . Thats the real deal 💀

Summary: Hinata finally decides to tell Rinne about his past at Yumenosaki. CW for Setsubun mentions, identity issues, and mentions of abuse

Read on AO3

---

Hinata isn’t entirely sure what compels him to send a message to the leader of Crazy:B. Rinne Amagi had a habit of doting on him and treating him like another younger brother, which he knew Yuta wasn’t a big fan of. Yuta would often call Rinne a bad influence on Hinata, but Rinne was also one of the only people who treated him like a normal kid. 

It was kind of addicting in a way. It wasn’t just Rinne who had treated him like that either. The rest of Crazy:B had taken him in as one of their juniors (despite the fact that Kohaku was younger than Hinata) and Alkaloid, or at least Hiiro, had taken a liking to him as well. He treasured those nights that he spent with Niki and Hiiro playing video games and snacking on homemade sweets late into the night. 

Maybe it shouldn’t have been surprising that the first person he texted was Rinne on the anniversary of Setsubun. It had only been a year and yet it felt so much longer than that. He was grateful that the year since then had been filled with smiles and warmth, much more than years previous had been. The Amagi brothers were partially responsible for that change in his life. 

Rinne responded quickly and asked if he’s alright since he doesn’t normally send cryptic messages like this in the middle of the day. He said he’ll be there in 15 minutes after debriefing with his unit. 

Hinata didn’t bother replying to that, instead opting to just tell Rinne everything when he gets to the rooftop garden with him. He needed to figure out exactly what he wanted to tell Rinne anyway. It’s not in the older man’s nature to judge people based on things they can’t control, and he would understand a lot of Hinata’s own problems…probably. Rinne also wasn’t fond of showing weakness in front of other people. 

Hinata sat at the edge of the garden, towards the back. Being so high up reminded him of that day, but this was almost cathartic in a way. He was in a better place now, with people who didn’t know about that incident at all and cared for him as his own person. As much as he knew Yuta didn’t like the nickname Rinne gave him, it was a comfort for Hinata. 

Hina, such a simple nickname and yet it was a breath of fresh air, a new start, and here he was about to change everything. He just hoped that Rinne wouldn’t change how he talked with Hinata afterwards. 

Hinata was dangling his feet over the edge, looking down at the bustling street below when Rinne finally sat beside him. 

“What’s up, Hina? Somethin’ on your mind?” Rinne’s voice was gentle today, soft and even. Such a strange contrast to the Rinne most people knew. 

“Mmm, you could say that,” he replied, not looking at the older man. “Rinne, have you ever felt like…people don’t see you for you?” 

Rinne chuckled. “Every damn day Hina. Even back home…” he trailed off. Hinata knew not to push that topic. 

The two of them were like peas in a pod in that sense. 

Hinata laughed too. “Yeah, I knew you’d get it.” 

They sat in silence for a few minutes, Rinne waiting patiently for Hinata to keep going and Hinata searching for the words to say. But just having someone else there helped keep him from spiraling too much. 

“I just…feel like people wouldn’t miss me if I was gone, because they see me and Yuta-kun as the same person. It hurts a lot but I don’t know what to do about it because…I feel the same way. Like Yuta-kun and I are one person in two, but that’s not true anymore. I try to keep telling myself that we’re different but it’s hard to change how you think when it’s all you’ve ever known.  

Yuta-kun has so many friends and is always laughing and smiling with them and I want to be like that too, but after ah…” 

“After what, Hina?” 

“After Setsubun fes, people started treating me like I would break at any moment. I’m not grandma’s fine china or anything that will break if you handle it too roughly! But everyone at Yumenosaki can’t seem to get past that video.” 

Hinata still couldn’t look at Rinne, but he knew Rinne was confused. He hadn’t known about Setsubun at all. Of course he hadn’t, he didn’t go to school with them and was much too old to have been there at the same time as Hinata even if he had. It’s why he was drawn to him in the first place, along with his roommates, Niki and Hiiro. 

“Ah, sorry. You don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, do you?” 

“Not a clue.” 

“Long story short, I had a mental breakdown on the roof of the school last year and…it was filmed and everyone at the school saw it. It’s not like I had much of a choice in the distribution either, so everyone was just watching me like I wasn’t a real person.” 

Rinne moved a hand to Hinata’s back and began rubbing gentle circles between his shoulder blades. There were damp spots on Hinata’s cheeks. He rubbed his eyes with his hands balled up in fists. Why did his lowest moment have to be broadcast to everyone he knew? Why was it made to seem like a spectacle for people to watch and not do anything to help? Even after his monologue to his brother making it clear that he didn’t want to be treated like the same person anymore and not knowing how to distinguish himself without just moving into the background, nobody offered him help. 

He was drowning in the unknown and it took the creation of ES and Crazy:B for him to find a lighthouse to guide him to somewhere safe. Even when Crazy:B was against the entire world, hated by everyone, Rinne and the other members never once hurt 2wink. After their collaboration at the nightclub Rinne had taken a liking to Hinata. He was there for him to lean on when he wasn’t sure about the direction of his unit or how to be a big brother or a good senior to the new first years or just how to navigate life. 

At some point, Rinne had pulled Hinata into a side hug and just let him cry into his side. Hinata leaned into the touch and allowed himself to let it all out. 

Rinne’s hugs were always warm. 

It took several minutes of crying before Hinata ran out of tears. His sobs turned to sniffles and he pulled his legs to his chest. 

“You didn’t deserve any of that, Hina.” Rinne’s voice was serious, but not cold. It was a warm honey-sweetened tea on a rainy day. 

Another stretch of silence. Hinata’s head was spinning and numb and full of cotton. 

“But…I know how it feels. When I was younger, I had to keep my emotions in check, especially in front of other people. Any sign of weakness was always punished by my father. ‘A good leader doesn’t cry’ he would tell me. 

When my mom died, I was…eight or nine. I couldn’t cry at her funeral and when we returned home I just couldn’t hold it in anymore. I’ll spare you the details but he punished me severely. I never wanted Hiiro-kun to see me like that again and I made myself stop feeling. It felt like I was just there to be the next leader of the village, never allowed to be myself. 

What I’m tryin’ to say here is that I get it. I know how it feels for people to try and put you in a box that doesn’t fit, and how they treat you when you finally break. It’s okay to be frustrated and angry that it happened, but you can’t let it consume you. Show the world that Hinata Aoi is his own person, that you aren’t just that video and that you’re here to stay.” 

Hinata sniffled and leaned more into Rinne’s touch. 

“Thanks, Rinne-senpai. It means a lot, heh. I guess we all have our own burdens to carry.” 

“Yeah. Life is about learning to carry them and not let them drag you down. If it gets too heavy, I’ll be there to pick you back up and carry it for you.” 

“You don’t have to go that far, Rinne-senpai. How will I learn to carry my burdens if you take them for yourself? Wouldn’t that just make it heavier on you?” 

“I’ll take on everyone’s burdens if it means they get to smile just for one moment. I’ll fight fate itself if that’s what it takes.” 

“I’m not sure why, but I believe that you would find a way to do that, even though most people would say it’s impossible.” 

“Thanks for believing in me, Hina.” 

Hinata laughed, Rinne lightened the mood just enough that he felt like everything was at peace for the moment. His cheeks were stained with tears and his eyes would be puffy and red when he returned to the dorm, but at least he’d be smiling. 

Even if the world was against them, Hinata could count on Rinne at least being in their corner no matter what. Rinne was a lighthouse to people like Hinata, a steady light in the rocky ocean saying that someone is there, watching out for you. 

Despite the front that he put up and how he had a bad habit of pushing people away, Rinne was always there when it mattered. 

Hinata fell asleep curled up on the rooftop as Rinne hummed a gentle melody from his hometown. And everything was right with the world.
