sebastian who’s always seen love as fleeting, something that fades and dies, who’s always only ever felt temporary attraction until he meets blaine and he falls and can’t stop falling and it never really goes away, he always carries some love for blaine and he finally gets why people fall apart over love

[maeamian]

About to go insane trying to find sources for this, but starting to develop a theory that the idea that the bottom of the ocean is totally unknown is pretty outdated, but is an extremely compelling factoid and as such has persisted longer than it is true.

[genericpuff]

So there's this account I follow on Tiktok that critiques some webtoons and LO was one of them. They're discussing the finale and my god the comments are glorious. Lots of the people commenting either fell off the comic or were once die hard fans who hated what happened. Some of them even were fans of the series who recently started hating it after the hiatus. From what I saw this was what their concerns were.

Apollo not being punished harshly enough

Last minute queer rep with Hera

Certain plots being thrown in and old ones being tossed out

The ending feeling rushed.

Some of them are blaming Webtoons for 'axing the series' so Rachel had no choice but to rush it. Others are questioning why was there a hiatus at all if this was the pay off?

So now even some of the fans are starting to feel like we former fans do.

Yeeah you know it's not good when even the fans were left going "... huh?" And frankly I do feel bad, as much as I've talked shit about the stans in the past, so many of them hung on with the genuine good faith that it was all "building up to something". There are also people who are still praising it as the best thing ever which, okay, that's them, and people who didn't love the finale but are leaving it be like reasonable non-obsessed people.

I'm not entirely convinced that Rachel ended it willingly, I've seen Webtoons cut series short during their midseason hiatuses by telling the creators "okay once you come back you have this many episodes to wrap it up", so while it is shocking to see it happen with WT's golden goose, maybe they saw the decline over the past several months and realized it was time to cut it loose. But ultimately I can't ever know if it was Rachel calling it quits or Webtoons, not unless one (or both) of them come forward and say anything regarding that. I can only wonder, and in reality, none of what I wonder really matters because it's over.

Again, I do feel bad. I remember when the trial arc was going on and the whole Eris reveal happened and I had that sinking feeling in my stomach that maybe the comic wasn't all it was cracked up to be, that maybe it wasn't going where I had been hoping and assuming it would go. I imagine there are a lot of people feeling that exact same thing right now. I do hope, at the very least, they find their closure through whatever future projects Rachel does or through other comics that fill the void left by LO. I'm definitely hoping the same for myself, tbh, now that the comic is actually over for good I feel like I can finally put my obsession with it to rest, even just a little. Although tbf I'm really just refocusing that obsession onto Rekindled, which I have a much more positive relationship with LMAO but I'm very thankful to have it and I owe that to LO, in all its perks and quirks and flaws.

[wings-of-fire-confessions]

people will hate me for this but i think the wof fandom has a thing of using the same map (multi animator project) ideas (or at least very similar... wether that be same song with weirdly similar themes [for example zombie au] or different song but basically the same exact plot but wof) as the warrior cats fandom, as someone who has been in both map spheres since about mid 2021. i don't participate in many maps (i don't have the motivation) but i do spectate a lot and i feel like this is just something i've noticed.

wether or not it's a problem that needs to be talked about more is up to the map community of both fandoms but i see this happen like a few times a year and it should at LEAST be mentioned. tbf i havent been active in map communities for a few months atp so it couldve calmed down but i still feel the need to bring it up anyways

ep 11 rewatch stray thoughts cause im not immune to this show

im losing it at soong losing his mind trying to make sure that jump gets out now and jump being like 'damn i am hurrying... in my own way' its soooo the version of them that we talk about @jeffsatyr

aob appearing out of nowhere and first trying to throw hands like you are nottt winning that fight first damn

zouey being the one positioned closest to jason and being the only one jason will address out of the baddies.... also teena petting zouey the whole time...

i feel incredulby normal about oats hands.....

the way playboyy sneaks in the 'what is truth in the digital age' convo... but also why was jason addressing the pedophile allegations on facebook live... (tbf its giving rfk jr)

jump following porsche out of the cafe after watching him and tutor do whatever they just did

captain once again learning his actions have consequences...

hold on are captain tears running down keens face?!?!?! huuuuge if true

i love firstsoong. soong asking first not to try to get aob fired and first is like "but he beat me 🥺" and soong is like "and? you deserved it" cryinnnnn omg

who was driving the van nont and prom are in... cause they just overheard that jason and prom call

prom says hell check jasons private room at playboyy, but didnt he already take nont in there during the babushka breakdown??

the camera shifting to zouey when the other baddies say jason took nant cause nant was blackmailing aurkay i see you

jump and porsche 🥺 jumps 'we've known eachother for so long. but it feels like we dont know eachother at all' IM SCREAMIGNG

lady and the tramp-ing the noodles HOW DID I FORGET THIS

something about jump being his usual sincere self and it actaully being returned....im unwell

prom being a romcom nerd is everything btw

kissies

the song that plays during th captainkeen scene is toooo good like its such a good choice. also this is lowkey my fav scene of theirs besides the ones with projections (the chess and the tigers)

playboyy employee running for his life to warn everyone the baddies are coming and they walk in like the towns most annoying group of college kids jsdalkfdjakfjalkfsjf

nont calling the baddies out, and first who for once is focused on the investigation is out in a second, zouey is busy with portraiture and captain is doing the exact thing they should have expected him to do in this situation

aobpuen: squaring tf up the baddies: 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

nont trying find his brother, prom and soong trying to have a normal day at work, aobpuen unemployed, but now is the perfect time to try to teach captain that actions have consequences again like sjkfjsdf

ZOUEY SAYS "YOU KNEW WHAT PORSCHE WENT THROUGH. YOU KNEW WHAT I WENT THROUGH" TO FIRST SO FIRST KNOWS!!! when did he tell first

the way they mightve found some real fucking clues if the baddies didnt start airing everything out at the worst moment...

NOT THE PREVIEW ENDING WITH AOB FIRING THE GUN AT SOMEONE AFTER EVERYONE GOES MISSING ONLY FOR THE ENDING THEME TO PLAY ASJFASKFJSALKJFDKS

i forgot how much i love this show omgggg

[arsenalgbt]

i’m not sure how you feel about toxic arteta hcs or whatever but…

you know how arteta is doing his little rescue thing with players? taking almost-failed worship kid martin and making him captain? bring in chelsea-rejects jorgi and kai and turning them into integral midfield players? that’s all well and good on the pitch, but off the pitch? what if he revels in the knowledge that he’s taken these players and “resurrected” them? what if he gets off on the fact that he’s taken their tattered careers in his hands and seen them back to near perfection. what if they worship him and devote themselves to him because of that?

and what happens when one of those rescue players (ramsdale) finds themselves being rejected by the one who saved them and try to do anything and give themselves entirely to gain mikel’s favour again?

maybe bot 100% dark arteta but most certainly grey in the power he wields over the players he’s “rescued” because he’s established himself as some powerful and kind figure to them that they should be grateful to. because not everybody would look at them in their lowest moments and try to uplift them, but arteta did so they should thank him for that, right?

anyways that’s enough, no point cluttering your inbox <33

oh I am SOOOOOOOOOOO unqualified for this kinda arteta discourse ngl! nudging @purefractals and @longeyelashedtragedy cuz they deffo will find your toxic!arteta HCs interesting.

I also find this interesting, so allow me to add my minuscule take about his blatant favouritism LMAO. granit is the prime example, but that one is deffo "pure"; his first project. he succeeded. no hate on Eddie but when he kept being a starter without cooking anything???? naur.

the one with Aaron tho fucking chefs kiss anon. I will never forget his motherfucking "perhaps we (Arsenal football club) can be the kinda club that sub gk during a match" bs (not the exact sentence he spouted, but close I think lol). cuz wtf was that bruv. have you done what you cheekily said to the media???????? the answer is no.

listen I might be confusing HCs as in like fics-wise or HCs as in serious real life take lol............................... I have answered another anon before that eventho I ship xhakarteta, I really don't have the drive in me to write more about them. in my writing/shipping brain, they are perfect - I don't want my writing/my take tainting what I think of them ya feel me!

the Aaron situation. im still in denial ngl, but I do see the difference Raya does to the team's performance. kudos to him for staying chill af irl tbf.

sorry to disappoint but plsss both my Tumblr inbox and ao3 inbox are currently depressing right now so send me nude---I mean send me anything!

[p-receh]

Your thoughts were fascinating and i loved reading it!

Sorry i mistaken concept art for teaser (tbh i don't even know what the difference are)

I will say my personal headcanon for why Sopan was so sopan is because oboi was just tired of fighting and wanted a peaceful way instead

I fully agree with you for Monsta to raise up the age rating especially if they're gonna make that Boboiboy x Mechamato movie

I know the movies don't really have a rating but if Monsta gonna make BxM movie kid friendly by making oboi forgive his dad for NEGLECTING him for YEARS (5 years to be exact)

I know in Islam we're supposed to respect our parents and Oboi can still love and care about his dad WITHOUT forgiving or forgetting what he did to him. Give me a movie where Amato is apologizing and is constantly trying to make it up to Boi

Please Monsta PLEASE

First of all—

Anoooooooooooooon. I'm truly sorry for late response. If you still have criticism, please ask. I am truly don't mind your long questions😭😭

To put it simply. Teaser is a glimpse with bunch of short clips an upcoming project. Usually still under "untitled" project.

Whereas the concept art is a like a beta project which not yet been finalized or get "green light" from the higher ups. Usually the art divisions compile this into an art book.

Hope that helps. 😅

I truly agree about your headcanon. That's also why he uncharacteristically talk too formal. Hence the name. 😅

Props to whoever design that fusion. I'm very amazed. All aspects are truly in synch. :0

I fully agree with you for Monsta to raise up the age rating especially if they're gonna make that Boboiboy x Mechamato movie

I know the movies don't really have a rating but if Monsta gonna make BxM movie kid friendly by making oboi forgive his dad for NEGLECTING him for YEARS (5 years to be exact)I know in Islam we're supposed to respect our parents and Oboi can still love and care about his dad WITHOUT forgiving or forgetting what he did to him. Give me a movie where Amato is apologizing and is constantly trying to make it up to Boi

Please Monsta PLEASE

I see some people critize Oboi's look and attitude in Sori. Tbf, I'm with them also.

Yes, Monsta still can make Oboi's look so serious and cool. But people questioned them with the upcoming Windara animated ver if they still choose this style onwards.

Okay we established Sory to still have some childish friendly traits. But Windara to Gur'latan aren't. The stake that Oboi take are much higher. And BM3 is the turning point of him like the previous ones.

Monsta, you said before in your bts movie 2:

So it's not an excuse to not make a deep meaningful story that grown ups could learn to their kids! That's also includes the confession of sin of what Amato did to abandon Oboi.

No Monsta, I can guarantee it's not a taboo topic for children. They have rights to know that too! It's what you called forgiveness to each other right??

You make Oboi's forgive what Adudu had done to him for years in past, AS A CHILD. He couldn't depend with his grand dad all the time! He still need a loving parents!

HE STILL NEED THEIR PRESENCE FOR FUCK SAKE—

Okay I got carried away. Ehem.

True anon. If Amato didn't do that on either BM3 or BxM. I will riot, surely. >:T

[yonpote]

I really hope Dan does stand-up again. I've always loved stand-up and it gave me SO much joy to see that lil vid he did and how it was so GOOD. He has such a natural charisma on stage

YEAH I LIKED HIS STANDUP SET! i really did think we're all doomed was gonna be another small-scale stand up show touring in comedy clubs (ok that was def just me projecting cuz i prefer smaller venues lol) BUT then i remembered we're talking abt one of the most extra theater gays out there. however i still think he should have gone smaller scale in general cuz uh. american phannies at least did not show up to buy tickets... i am including myself in that cuz i coulda gone but opted to go to an anime con instead lmao and tbf i regret it i really wish i had gone

but like for example pj's space trip stage show was smaller scale and i dont know if anyone has stats from that tour but they toured in smaller venues and also it was just in england so like way smaller scale and very different show lmao but like the venues were appropriate for the scale of the production and the estimated seats imo (again without knowing exact stats or anything)

its definitely one of those things thats hard to gauge how big of an audience you will get for a stage show when like. dan was getting sold out shows four and six years ago easy but it was with phil, it was pre-pandemic, even outside of WAD being Just Dan this new show is a bit high concept and hard to know what to expect without getting spoiled, and in general his audience is simply not as large as it used to be just by way of the internet being how it is. i guess the strength in that smaller audience tho is that we're all pretty dedicated but again, the whole pandemic thing happening definitely didnt help sales. then again maybe dan doesnt give that much of a shit abt ticket sales like TO ME it seems like dan literally was doing this show in part to branch further outside of the DnP Brand as well as to have his long awaited hot fag autumn (fag said in a reclaimed and endearing way 😇)

[null-doesnothing]

I hope you dont mind but since you've left spaces open for sulu, scotty, uhura, and chapel I figured I'd step in with my own like a nerd

Sulu: dont have any specific sexuality or gender headcanons for the guy but he's gotta be some flavor of queer I fear. used to love going to beaches as a kid and cant stand it anymore, listens to a weirdly varied amount of music genres (like you'd look in his playlist and find top 20 pop list type music and the most niche shit you have EVER heard of. also some shit Chekov snuck in there that he decided he didn't care enough abt to get rid of) also probably the type of guy to just have the One playlist and its just his liked songs and everyone who looks at it is like "dude wtf IS this". he has no explanation. Next to Spock, he's the most heat-resistant of the group, though unlike Spock he actually handles humidity fairly well (cant relate im from the desert I would drown) Oh also you cant tell him shit cuz he's a major gossip sorry

Scotty: probably unlabeled honestly if I had to guess, I don't think he would care too much abt it... or think too much abt it.... busy w/ da ship. honestly this is barely a headcanon but the mf just loves feeling impressive at any given moment. about anything. ever. Also has definitely fallen asleep while working on something and almost wrecked his whole face. oh also he probably had a cat at some point in time that would sit on him as he slept and one night he accidentally like. threw it off in his sleep. and he felt really bad about it. dont ask how I know it was written in the stars shsshhh

Uhura: either lesbian or bi, personally I lean towards lesbian for her. can draw!! really well actually!! does it in her free time and sort of keeps them to herself, I think if she met Data they'd bond over the little art adventures going on there. Also she can only hypothetically cook. like- she knows what needs to go into a dish, and how to make it taste good, and she could instruct someone on what to do? but as soon as she actually physically tries to make a dish just. 🔥 uhhh has a collection of ancient (lol) cassette tapes that she Can Not Play because she couldn't find a working cassette player. Scotty's ended up working on making one as a side project

Chapel: lesbian. that is a lesbian woman with comphet. absolutely. 100%. has some betazoid in her but not enough to show At All (though to be fair, not much to show up anyways. also this is my watsonian explanation for Lwaxana having her exact face, though tbf ig like it could be the other way around but SSSHHHH) and was also raised on Mars for some of her childhood. oh also has just the most insane Bullshit Detector ever, it's very very difficult to get a lie past her. as a child her hair was brunette and got more blonde over time, but her hair in tos is dyed to give it a different tone. also this one goes against canon but ACTUALLY WEARS GLOVES IN SICK BAY AND GETS ANNOYED WHEN BONES DOESNT

ahem- now, I'm going to be very self-indulgent for a moment and, instead of just leaving it there, I'm going to attack one more character with my headcanons because he's my FAVE and NOBODY EVER MAKES HEADCANONS FOR HIM so uhhh. that's my thing rn I'm hijacking your post a bit

Sarek (I love him sm I'm sorry): as a little boy he was probably one of the least well behaved, most rambunctious, and emotional children on the whole of Vulcan, and for the most part was just generally a pain in his parent's asses for a long long time. eventually he became the hyper-strict unemotional logical vulcan he is now, but he definitely wasn't always that way, had to be drilled into him. that's feeds into my headcanon for why he treats Spock the way he does, there's slight fear at him acting human but generally, his fear leans more towards Spock ending up like he was as a child. totally incorrect fear my guy but hey idk what do I know. oh also I think you can't ever show him star wars because he would see Anakin's storyline and have a heart attack spontaneously. OH OH ALSO- this one ISNT a headcanon but I-Chaya was HIS pet first! the headcanon here comes in that I firmly believe when he was like. 6. he picked up little tiny baby I-Chaya and was like "im keeping it. mine now." like a child adopting a stray cat off the street and their parents begrudgingly accepting it.

sorry that's way longer than the other guys' I think abt him a lot

favourite star trek headcanons?

Oh boy I have ALOT hehe (thank you so much for asking :3) (and these are just my silly headcanons and it's totally find if you disagree with them <3)

Id like to hear your favourite headcanons @etherealspacejelly :3

Kirk: Hes trans and pansexual (or bi I like both), that bitch loves to vouge its his favourite dance move hehe, kept the boob window shirt from amok time and wears it just to annoy Spock, is Jewish, (this one is more for AOS kirk but whatever) He LOVES 90s and early 2000s rap and hip hop such as the Beastie Boys.

Spock: Jewish on his mums side, is gay MLM or unlabelled (I like both hc), really likes ambient music and falls asleep to it and white noise.

Bones: Is bisexual (yeah no, no character in TOS is straight sorry) loveeees to sing country songs when no one is around or can hear him even while on duty (Kirk definitely caught him once singing and teased the living fuck out of him), he loves to wear low raise jeans (old man whore), he has anger problems, a chronic smoker (yes yes he's a doctor but come on...he needs to let off some steam man) loves old country music especially from 20th century Earth, a massive fan of Dolly Parton and sings her songs regularly (his singing voice isn't actually that bad either, quite soothing but slightly deep)

Chekov: bi-curious (NO SLAVIC PERSON IS TRULY STRAIGHT...coming from a slav hehe) weed smoker so he probably smells like kush 50% of the time, is eastern orthodox (religion wise) he absolutely adores late 20th century (80s-90s) Russian Post-Punk such as Кино and Nautilus Pompillus, he also listens to Bladee and the drain gang in general (idk man he just seems like the average drainer/Bladee fan) also uses She/Him pronouns...(or that's just me projecting myself onto him)

...yeah you can CLEARLY see which characters are my favorites hehe (also I didn't put on hc for sulu scotty uhura or chapel since I barely have any)

[emiliaoagi]

You ever look at a project list and think "Past me had a lot of fucking nerve--"

[n7punk]

i do not know what a cnc machine is :/

ok yeah XD tbf i didn't either until more recently. like, i'd seen them, but i didnt know what they were called. it's a Computer Numerical Control machine. Most commonly, in this setting at least, we're talking about CNC router for cutting out a pattern that you program into wood, metal, etc. like an embroidery machine making a pattern, or a cricut machine cutting out Small craft projects. CNCs are that, but big enough to cut out an entire plywood sheet. I've never heard anyone refer to them by their full name, not even with "router" on the end, it's just CNC. it would be a weird thing for a cosplayer to have, but typical for a maker.

related, but adora's laser cutter i feel like is pretty instinctual? but it's literally the exact same concept. you put in a sheet of material (in this case, you've got a midsized sheet between what a cnc can do and what a cricut can do), you program it to cut/engrave a specified shape, and it does it automatically for you with perfect precision, so pieces that need to be snuggly fit (or that you need a lot of, say if you're making something with six identical sides) will all match specifications. specifically, you can look at a glowforge for an example, although they call themselves a 3d laser printer for some asinine reason. laser printers still use ink, and 3d printers build a 3d object out of a resin (although there are multiple kinds). the glowforge literally cuts out 2d sheets with a laser (LIKE A LASER CUTTER) and then you could assemble them into a 3d object, but you dont have to.

most cosplayers i know have a cricut (if they have any of these types of machines, anyway), which is the lowest end of these types of products and can handle things about the size of a sheet of paper, depending on the model you get and how large the machine is. They're tabletop machines tho, usually a few hundred dollars. i know cricut does some shitty things with the programs required to get the design into your cricut machine, though. and who knows, glowforge could too, but thats so fucking expensive i dont know of a lot of people with one XD

[miiiwu]

these r pretty common here but i love transmasc mike and vyvyan (i think mike would be more like stealth binary trans), transfemme genderfluid rick (tho transmasc rick is also fun), neil being like. plantgender/otherkin nonbinary and the secret fifth roommate being a complete agender enigma with no discernible agab are fun.

i tend to enjoy depictions that r more period + character/voice accurate though so i don't think they would use that exact terminology for it. but basically none of these bozos r cis

i love the idea of Vyv doing diyhrt and possibly his own top surgery (and maybe bottom surgery but he'd probably put like. dynamite in his penis or some shit so maybe he shouldn't be trusted w that kind of power lmao)

i feel like these r all pretty typical stuff other ppl have already said tho, so there's more original (and unhinged) stuff under the read more im so sorry lmao

uhmmmm ok more original stuff uhh i think rick has a brat taming kink/thing where he acts super annoying bc he subconsciously wants to get smacked around bc of some psychological shit about being a pampered upper middle class only child who nobody likes lol. maybe its actually a deep seated self loathing. he thought once he got to university ppl would like him and he'd become super popular, but it turns out he really is just annoying. its not that his peers from childhood were ignorant to his super deep intellectual ideas or whatever lol. i dunno im not a psychologist.

also i think he is both intimidated by and attracted to vyv (not projecting At All)

vyvyan grew up poor without a father figure (that we know of) and with a spiteful alcoholic mother so seeing rick take his parents + other privileges for granted makes him want to kick his ass. i love the idea that vyv and mike r childhood friends also, and mike sort of Was like a father in some ways despite being (presumably?) the same age as vyv. it explains why he’s the only flatmate vyv doesn’t physically hurt and makes it kinda cute when he calls him michael. 2 me

also i think vyv and rick have autism but their specific brands of autism clash with each other (one needs quiet, the other needs constant noise,, that sort of thing) and it drives them both crazy

and i think all 4 of them have some form of ADHD or other disorder that effects executive function bc that's the only way i can see them letting the house get that dirty 💀💀💀

also i think vyv absolutely gets off on humiliating rick but i don’t think he even realizes he’s getting off on it if u know what i mean (he'd never admit it to himself, bc that's 'girly' and gay!!!). like with the virgin sign (and presumably making him wear a t-shirt later too), its meant as typical vyv torment but also um. that whole incident was just gay sex. what do you mean you two shook the bed so hard it fell thru the ceiling um hello???

also i think all four flatmates of some flavor of gay/bi but have comphet/pretend to like girls way more than they rlly do. their masculinity (and by extension heterosexuality) is a performance. especially mike’s. tho tbf everything about mike is a performance. the cool person persona is fake as hell. obvs some of it is related to the implication that he’s somewhat involved in shady dealings (where tf did he get that gun, why was he the one to suggest robbing the bank, he literally tried to sell a nuke, paying off the dean of the college etc). And you know what? I'm starting to suspect Michael “Mike” The Cool Person isn't even his real name.

(also i think the fakeness of his cool guy persona is super interesting from a trans perspective)

neil is treated as the overworked unappreciated housewife/mother, while mikes the father everyone seeks the approval of, with vyv being the violent brother and rick being the socially conscious sister whose pigtails he tugs on (the bart and lisa of the flat lol) they’re basically the Nuclear Family in the form of 4 university students which i guess isn’t even headcanons anymore im just stating the actual intent of the show but im in too deep now and the gender politics of the young ones is interesting 2 me. despite featuring very few women characters i think lise mayer gave the scripts some Sauce.

neil consistently is forced into the traditional/stereotypical role of a woman in a lot of ways (including vyv oggling him in ricks dress) and as a result of this treatment (as well as probably an actual case of major depressive disorder imo) he repeatedly attempts suicide and/or threatens to do so as a cry for help. some of his attempts are so poorly executed it rlly does seem more like an ignored cry for help.

he's passive aggressive as hell, believes ridiculous stuff causes cancer and absolutely would fall for a pyramid scheme. just like a real mum! (feels so weird to type mum when you're american 😭 i feel like those ppl in 2012 who were like weebs for britain. teaboos💀)

neil to me is that one thing moms/mums sometimes do where they r all "omg I'm the only person who does anything in this house" while doing dishes and when u ask if they want help they say no but r like. sighing and sad about it. like perhaps they would like help but don't want to admit it or realize they could have asked this whole time but didn't and now feel embarrassed or ashamed by not realizing this sooner (not that the other guys would ever willingly help with cleaning). honestly i think neil likes wallowing in misery a little. idk

the line where he says he might as well be their mums and they reply that they at least *like* their mums, i don't buy that shit. Vyv has a strained relationship w his at best and you cannot convince me rick doesn't yell at his mum constantly. and mike for all we know could've been created in a government lab for all we know about his family+upbringing. i think they likely all love their mothers but i don't think they 'like' or respect them, and for this, neil really is the mum of the group no matter what the other 3 say >:3

there's probably more gender role stuff a way smarter and more qualified person could go into but that's all i have on that lol

ok back to regularly scheduled horny rivyan psychoanalysis

i think vyvyan's desire to become a doctor is partially rooted in his enjoyment of torturing small rodents (ie. SPG), and to him people are like. Big Rodents. and part of why he targets rick so often is because he reminds him of one (he is my precious rat boy). I've said this before somewhere but rick is like a prey animal to me.

uhmmm also i think if vyv came out as trans to rick he'd be super ignorant but outwardly go “oh yea transsexuality is so anarchic, right on! I dabble in a bit of transvesticism myself…” but he just really really really wants 2 know whats in vyvs pants 😭

and just wait until he does some reading and finds out about tdick and bottom surgery options. he'd probably keep avoiding eye contact but doing his gay little coquette shimmy every time they r in the same room and try to """subtly""" bring it up to him when he thinks mike and neil aren't listening lol

like “gulps is that your p-p-p-p-pussy vyvyan….” behavior.

i think some of vyv's aggression towards rick is just like. why dont i have a penis right now. i need 2 jackhammer this obnoxious twink somehow (oh no i'm projecting onto vyvyan i need to stop before this gets out of hand)

uh ok ok this isn't a headcanon but I'm obsessed with that one scene in Flood where they r all holding down neil to kill and eat him and he asks for a last cigarette and mike gets one for himself and rick instinctively lights it for him. Also in Cash when Mike and Vyv use Rick as a sofa um anyways um uhhh vyv phalloplasty/penis star tattoos/piercings goodnight everypony

what’re your favourite the young ones headcanons ? i need moreeeee

[delusion-of-negation]

Okay well ummm before I go away I'm just gonna say that even though Harry Potter is cringey you have NO RIGHT to attack the author just because she didn't fail her biology class :) I don't like JKR since, you know, she's a feminist who wants to force abortions on young women but at least she knows that you can't change your gender no matter how much makeup you smear all over your face. Anyway, bye now you dumb bitch. Your pfp is retarded by the way 💖

re

prev asks

okay, first of all it's not "attacking someone" to be like "lmao these rampant bigoted remarks ruined her reputation", least of all when you're not even saying that to her or saying it at all, just reblogging a post on tumbly saying it. second of all, you know that a single biology class doesn't teach you everything you need to know about biology, right? like, gender is complicated and so is sex, it's not impossible to change the vast majority of sex characteristics, of which sex is an aggregate. I have full rights to joke about jkr's inability to grasp how sex and gender actually work, because she'd rather fearmonger about toilets, despite ample evidence that bathroom violence doesn't increase when you allow trans people into the right bathrooms - in fact, trans people are more likely to be victimised, especially if they're forced into the wrong bathroom, as we saw again recently (linked below). and it makes sense, no person is fully on board with committing a random rape against a stranger (something that makes up a miniscule percentage of rape cases, as most are committed by people close to the victim), but then they go "hmm, better not go into the wrong room though" - people can easily sneak into a bathroom and hide in a stall. jkr is woefully misinformed and spreads so much misinfo.

that said, jkr doesn't want to "force abortions on young women" - it doesn't matter how much of a cunt she is, lying about her is still a dick move. nobody wants to do that, you're just a radical cunt and a dumb bitch yourself. what makes you think makeup is what is being used to change sex characteristics? there's this great stuff you can buy called "hormones" and it changes sex characteristics very effectively, right down to your blood and bones. great value for money. makeup is just a fun little art project to do on the side.

and finally, don't insult Five with a gun, that is not gonna end well.

MGS BIRTHDAY AND ASTROLOGICAL SIGN HEADCANONS

You know I had to do it to them, being the lowkey astrology thot that I am.

Fun fact: astrology was a big special interest of mine for years and I still find myself guessing people's signs now and then! So here I am merging my old special interests with current ones. Groundbreaking stuff I know.

I will only be doing sun and moon signs as birth times are very tricky to make up if you don't already know the exact times. I'm not that dedicated to my brainrot...

This gets very infodumpy so putting it under a read more~

MAIN: Wild Mass Guessing Section

Otacon is Virgo sun, Pisces moon (26/8/80). First of all he does give me strong Pisces vibes; he's a daydreamer, kind-hearted, and a bit of a crybaby, duh. Also cares very deeply about his found family and would do anything for them. However he's also very nerdy, wants to help others, dedicated to his morals, and committed to his work sometimes to the point of being a workaholic and honestly? I vibe with him sharing my own sun sign a little too much. I can spot Virgo energy a mile away. With moon placements ruling over emotionality and sun signs over general behaviours, I feel that Virgo sun/Pisces moon suits him better than the other way around. Furthermore, I can't find where I read it since it was a while ago but I did read that Kojima based a lot of Otacon's mannerisms on his own. Kojima is a Virgo (ofc).

Sunny is Aquarius sun, Virgo moon (24/1/08). She has big Virgo energy like her dad (no smoking flight!) (source: am Virgo sun/asc) but she was most likely born in early 2008 given how Olga was pregnant during the tanker incident in August 2007. Thankfully I also get Aquarius vibes from her so that settles that. That would put her birthday between 24th and 26th January 2008. Basically just going with the 24th though as that date comes up in quite a few family/friend birthdays irl.

Big Boss is Taurus sun, Libra moon (14/5/35). 100%. Loves food, stubborn af, sarcastic bastard. Also very determined and ambitious in his goals. Quite fatherly to his recruits too, even if he was a bit of a deadbeat to his actual kids (tbf I'd also be pissed off if my DNA was harvested without my consent). Also quite a charmer when he wants to be despite his obvious autism, hence the whole cult of personality thing. Big Taurus/Libra energy.

Venom is Virgo sun, Cancer moon (27/8/32). Yes his birthday is different to Big Boss (naturally) but hear me out; in my headcanons BB never really shared his birthday with people–except maybe Ocelot, who hypnotised his own memories of BB to change them anyway so that's one plot hole sorted right there–so who was to know it wasn't always his birthday? Anyway he's clearly very empathic and dedicated to helping others, especially compared to BB. You just have to see his pre-Venom Snake career as a medic and his very strong guilt over not being able to save Paz. BB would never have brooded for so long over anyone (except The Boss ofc). He's also evidently quite introverted, not liking to speak much. He seems very shy outside of his work. With this in mind, I feel he would be a Virgo/Cancer combination.

Raiden is Aquarius sun, Aries moon (17/2/83). This one was a very difficult one since it's not even certain which year he was born. The wiki reckons 1983 is the most likely though so I'll go with that. He can be quite aloof especially with emotional stuff, but he doesn't seem to be introverted and is actually quite talkative/sarcastic, making him prime Aquarius material in my eyes. Also he's such a hothead that I can't help but make him Aries moon.

Solidus is Capricorn sun, Aries moon (23/12/74). The wiki says he was born in 1972 but then Zero tells Kaz in 1974 that there are only 2 LET children so far, and the MGSV timeline says the project ended in 1976. Therefore I headcanon him as actually being born in 74 or 75. As for birthdate, he gives me Capricorn vibes tbh. He just reminds me of Capricorn men i've known irl idk, plus he's very determined towards his goals. Still bitter we didn't learn more about him as a person tbh, since he only appeared in one game. I'm guessing Aries moon though because he's extra af (Source: fire moons are very extra as previously discussed) and also extremely passionate about his cause.

Possibly-Canon Subsection

Snake and Liquid are Gemini sun, Cancer moon (12/6/72). I've seen a lot of people celebrate Snake's birthday on this day. I cannot find the source for this but a lot of the fandom, at least on Tumblr, seem to have his birthday as this day. I originally headcanoned them as Aries sun with Pisces moon, however them being Gemini does fit them well. Especially with Snake as he loves to talk about random knowledge and facts, Geminis are all about that shit. Also would explain how Liquid is very cocky and appears extroverted, as Geminis tend to be very confident, at least on the outside. Furthermore, the Cancer moon is something I feel strongly with them as both twins are very emotionally-driven, albeit in different ways. Eli wears his heart on his sleeve whereas David is more of a still waters run deep kind of guy, but their emotions affect them both very greatly (even if Dave hides them).

Kaz is Taurus sun, Leo moon (17/5/45). I originally headcanoned him as Libra sun/Leo moon, but then I found this post which confirms his birthday. To be fair Taurus and Libra share some energies since they're both Venus-ruled, but Taurus is more hedonistic (and stubborn!) which fits Kaz 100%. I'm so glad I got the moon sign right though, I mean just look at this himbo thotting it up singing Koi no Yokushiryoku to the whole of Mother Base with his guitar and tell me otherwise. Extra af. (Source: I'm also Leo moon). He is in this section and not the actually-canon section purely because he states he was born once the war had ended, not while it was still ongoing (hinting at 1946, not 1945 as his year of birth).

BONUS: The Actually-Canon Section

Ocelot is Gemini sun, Sagittarius moon (6/6/44). And good lord is he ever. Ultimate two-faced drama queen; can't help being a Gemini~! Also charismatic and catty af, and actually somehow super intelligent to be able to pull off all those gambits and betrayals like that. Sagittarius moon too bc of course he is, couldn't not have a fire moon when he's that extra. (Source: me)

Huey is Leo sun, Cancer moon (6/8/45). Ofc he's Cancer moon. I honestly have little else to say, fuck Huey. I'm so sorry for any Leo sun/Cancer moon people reading this.

Eva is Taurus sun, Aquarius moon (15/5/36). Yet another Taurus queen! She's all about luxury but is also a badass in her own way. Motorbike kung fu, let's not forget! Also flirting comes naturally to her, which makes sense as taurus is ruled by Venus. Honestly I completely vibe w her being a canon Taurus, and I can't help but vibe w the double-Taurus BB/Eva action duo tbh. The Aquarius moon is a nice touch, can imagine her being very sarcastic and funny beyond what we see in-game.

Zero is Leo sun, Cancer moon (12/8/09). Deadass headcanoned him as an Aquarius until I found this tbh. He has the same sun/moon as Huey too... honestly don't know what to make of that. Given that they both used technology to majorly fuck up the world though... Reckon he has Aquarius rising anyway, he honestly gives me too many Aquarius vibes for him not to have it in his big 3.

Paramedic is Cancer sun, Leo moon (22/6/36). Literally the opposite of Zero, which is quite amusing. The Leo moon I feel definitely explains her talkativeness too (Source: isn't it obvious by now).

Sigint is Scorpio sun, Scorpio moon (11/11/39). Makes sense considering he's the token "normal" one out of the MGS3 support team in that he's not completely fucking weird (most of the time anyway), who can actually be surprisingly deep at times (e.g. that whole nightmare convo that's a call-forward to the metal gears). Also becomes a bit shady later on in the timeline, with the Patriots and DARPA stuff going on. Like I just feel that Scorpios just generally act really normal most of the time, most of their true self is hidden bc they love to be mysterious I guess. So him being double Scorpio makes sense to me.

Anyway that's it! This got kinda long...

If I left a character out, assume it's because either I don't know their birth year, I don't know enough about them to guess their sign, or they're a minor character that I can't be bothered to analyse rn.

Thanks for reading this whole thing! :)

Okay, so apparently Derek is working with ANOTHER (confirmed) art tracer for his new Marvel Comics series ‘All-Out Avengers’ — one who traces from adult-oriented internet videos of women — maybe that could be used to bring some actual attention to the Percival tracing drama on Twitter or something, bring the Marvel stans into things? Because they get really vocal about this sort of stuff, and Brie Larson being used for Abyssinia could be one way to get them onto things.

Greg Land is the artist for ‘All-Out Avengers’ and, well, tracing seems to be like the main thing he’s known for apparently.

I was checking Landy's Twitter and the post announcing the project did not receive any backlash. Actually none of the announcements got any reactions and the one reaction it got was on the Bleeding Cool post where one person noped away bc of Greg Land. Soooo no one but Landy fans actually seem to care about this project despite Twitter being full of people hating on Greg Land. Huh.

“Tracing the Success of Greg Land“ by ComicTropes is a really good vid, showing he had been tracing since the start of his career and pointing out that tracing actually made Land’s art worse. His art is now more realistic but has stiff figure work, confusing expression, bad panelling, less dynamic and he’s losing his imagination/creativity. And omg it’s so good hearing someone who gets art talk about it. Like, I’ve seen the exact same thing with Tom Percival where his early SP work was REALLY good, dynamic and interesting. Meanwhile his recent SP work tries to be photorealistic but ends up in uncanny valley instead, the new covers are boring und unimaginative and the characters he draws feel stiff despite the attempts at dynamic poses and almost all of the characters have the same neutral expressions

Also, through this vid I’ve learned that if an artist traces from another artist it’s called ‘swipping’. Good to know the worst tracing offense has it’s own name.

“Plagiarism Expert Looks at the Greg Land Plagiarism Allegations“ by Jonathan Bailey is also a really interesting vid. For one, I love hearing an experts opinion. But it’s also disheartening to hear that Land’s alien trace is, while morally apprehensive, within the realm of legality. If that’s the case then there is a 0% chance that the Captain Marvel trace could be used against Percival. It has always been one of the weaker proofs of tracing, so I’m not that surprised about it tbh.

It’s also sickening to find out that someone like Greg Land who has been repeatingly proven to trace and swipe is not only still getting plenty of work but work from big names like Marvel and DC. Tho tbf Marvel and DC aren’t what they used to be. They pay crap and screw their artists and writers in more way than one way with shit contracts and tight deadlines.

_____________

I’m not sure if the authors can choose which artist they want. The best I found is “What's it like being a comic book artist” on the QAGOMA YT channel where Wanye Nichols talks about his experiences in comics and apparently he would be offered scripts asking if he wants to work on them or not and decided which he would take based on if he has time and if it fits his art style. When he had to work with an inker he didn’t like he couldn’t change the inker in the middle of the project but since then he paid attention to who his co-workers would be and he could suggest people he wants to work with.

I’d imagine comic authors would have similar freedoms. So while I don’t know if Landy asked for Greg Land to be the artist for ‘All-Out Avengers’, he apparently didn’t object to working with him. And there is no way he didn’t know Land is a tracer, I mean, it’s literally on page one when you google his name and everyone googles the people they plan to work with. Come on, we all do.

This doesn’t help bring more attention to Percival’s tracing, I don’t think so and learning about Greg Land leads me to believe it doesn’t matter anyways. But it sure as hell confirms that Landy is the kind of dirt-bag that doesn’t mind tracing as long as it gets him desired results. I mean, with Percival I can understand that firing the artist in the middle of a cover series is ill advised if you want to keep the style consistent (then again again, so is firing the actor for the main villain in the middle of a movie franchise #JusticeForJohnny), but I was hoping at least getting called out would make Percival stop tracing (it didn’t) or they would choose a different cover artist for phase 3 (they probably won’t). But there is no excuse for teaming up with a well known tracer. And one that traces from p0rn at that 🤮 but knowing what a pervy creep Landy is, that’s probably a plus for him

Landy really doesn’t have any morals, now does he?

____________

Ngl I was kinda waiting for someone like ‘Comics Matter w/ya boi Zack’ or YellowFlash to cover Landy’s comics and, quite frankly, roast the hell outta them. But no one is talking about them. I guess they are mediocre enough to not get roasted but also not get recommended 🤷 I’m honestly surprised by that considering I thought the SP comic to be very badly writing. Like, the dialog made me cringe so hard. Well, maybe comic book fans don’t despise his immature humour quite as much as I do.

i know it's probably not that deep, but why is it that after wandavision ended, there were all these youtube video essays about its brilliance, nuance, etc. (which is all true tbf) and just a couple of them mentioned the (arguably) pretty botched ending and how it didn't match an otherwise great show,,,where just about every single falcon and the winter soldier video essay i've come across is like "tfatws is overrated and here's why" "why i didn't like tfatws" "some of the worst of marvel??" "how tfatws FAILS"

some of these came from the exact same channels.....

like.......were there flaws to tfatws? of course. the flag-smashers were over-hyped and underutilized, the sharon twist was obvious from a million miles away, we got no mention of riley, bucky was too often treated like he was at fault for the winter soldier's actions, and so on, but overall???? the show achieved what it was trying to do, took some majorly risky strides that paid off, and gave us some of the most human moments in the mcu, and the anger people feel over its popularity feels painfully familiar and calls to mind the ridiculous levels of outrage we saw over captain marvel. it's almost like,,,,marvel projects are allowed to have glaring flaws unless they're tackling/acknowledging issues of discrimination and the poor treatment of certain groups of people??? they can be real and human as long as they're so many degrees of separation from reality that i don't have to think critically at all???

people are allowed to have their opinions, but when the difference is this glaring and prominent, i am immediately suspicious
