#tbh their dynamic was so fun

[transingthoseformers]

I still think Fallen/Tarn in the context of tfp au could be interesting! Especially if Fallen gets to experience the new bits :3

You're so very right and their dynamic was fascinating because Tarn was focused on Pharma and Megatron first and foremost. But Megatronus was an facet into this because he was not only a partner in his scheme but his personal life at that point. Someone who finally reciprocated in his own way.

Iicr the thing that was alluring to the fallen was after all this time, there was someone who could "touch" him right back. After all the isolation and watching, someone who was just as as much a monster. Someone who finally reciprocated in his own way.

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.

Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.

Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!

Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…

And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

Ren has a special pillow set up for him in the window of Koujaku's hair salon that he sits in when Aoba comes to hang out during work hours. Koujaku joked that it's because having a cute, fluffy dog gets people's attention and is good for buisness, but honestly, he just likes having Ren around when he works. He has such a soothing aura that it allows Koujaku to relax and work better. Plus, he just likes having Ren nearby in general- it's comforting. There are small steps attached to the window so that Ren could get up and down whenever he wants without having to jump, but Koujaku usually just takes him down/puts him up whenever he notices that Ren wants to move, just so that he wouldn't have to navigate the steps with his short little paws.

Beni sometimes preens Aoba's hair. He seems to have his own idea on how it should all look, and nobody else can figure out what rules is he using and what result is he trying to accomplish. At first, Aoba was a bit startled by it, unused to this kind of touch to his hair, but he quickly got used to it, since it didn't really hurt, and he knew that Beni was being gentle. When he's done, Aoba's hair usually looks exactly the same, just messier. Beni is, however, always proud of his work, and thinks that Aoba "finally looks decent" and that he has to look good to represent Koujaku and his work. Aoba mostly just finds it cute- now he finds the feeling of Beni rustling through his hair comforting: It became their small ritual.

I continue to be in the foulest of moods so here are some Zeus + Apollo headcanons because they make me happy :)

(Important note: this is largely specific to my original work and is not me making inferences from mythical or historical texts)

Zeus and Apollo spar. Like a lot. Like a lot. A big reason why Apollo gets so good at boxing is because he usually sparred with his father as a young god and getting hit with one of Zeus' punches is!! Not advisable. He focused on becoming fleet-footed to combat Zeus' more solid fighting style which was definitely helped by his dancing. Conversely, Hermes would later develop wrestling partially as a response to Apollo's annoying fleet-footedness in combat.

Zeus decides to tie his mind to Apollo's when the strain of Apollo's visions become too intense for him to handle alone. When Apollo first returns from his exile after slaying Python, his visions are so severe that he suffered from 'time-blindness' where he could only percieve the future and was completely unable to see the present. Zeus shoulders some of that strain until Apollo becomes strong enough to handle prophecy on his own - though Zeus is careful not to give Apollo absolute prophecy lest he get overwhelmed again.

Despite their closeness, or maybe because of it, Zeus and Apollo argue quite a lot. Usually it's banal things like administrative work or squabbling over which of them should get the larger portion of a hecatomb, but they do argue about how prophecies should be carried out quite frequently too. There's a general agreement for Zeus not to bring up Apollo's children after how messy Aristaeus' anointing was (and how angry Apollo was at Zeus' disagreement with his decision to make his firstborn son a god) but the odd occasion where it cannot be avoided is usually when they have their most grave spats.

One of Zeus' greatest regrets is his relationship with Ares, partially because Ares grows up seeing him dote and teach Apollo with his full attention. There is... a lot of himself that he sees in Ares. A lot of Kronos too and the part of Zeus that is a warrior before he is a king has done his best to keep the boy at arms length entirely because of that familiarity with the face staring back at him. It's another of the things he and Apollo have argued ceaselessly about. Naturally, Apollo has attempted to bridge that gap many times and while Ares is still quite close with Artemis, when it comes to Apollo, he is particularly sensitive.

Zeus is the one that ultimately decided that Apollo should never marry. Due to Apollo's love-curse and his already concerning tendency to be overly attached and committed to his mortal affairs and offspring, Zeus decided that marriage would be doom to Apollo's spirit and proclaimed him unfit for the ceremony and its status. Instead of the expected argument, everyone was quite surprised when Apollo merely bowed his head and accepted such an outrageous decision.

I’ve seen so many metas of the Galadriel vs Sauron fight scene but none of them mention that Galadriel had not seen his Annatar form before this point. And clearly, from others reactions, most people cannot tell that Annatar is the same as Halbrand. This leaves us with two hilarious options:

1. Galadriel: Who is this random blonde guy?

Sauron: ✨g a l a d r i e l ✨

Galadriel, immediately: Oh yep, that’s Sauron, only he could say my name that extra

2. Galadriel has not recognised Sauron once and is not gonna make that mistake again. Now she just knows. Sauron could be randomly transformed into a pigeon and she can and will sense it. (Petition for Galadriel to angrily try to pursue a pigeon while Elrond holds her back looking done with his life)

(Secondary petition for there to be a plot where Galadriel desperately tries to convince a kingdom that the new totally nice guy in their court is definitely Sauron. No one believes her. Sauron is laughing in the corner. They end up deciding she’s Sauron. He laughs harder)

Edit: I just have this really clear image in my head now of Galadriel trying to fist fight a pigeon and god I wish I could draw it

Hey (^-^)/

I have a question: What did Atsushi mean in this panel when he said "the fact that you're the one standing in front of me"? I don't get it.

And why Akutagawa's face seem conflicted by hearing that?

I'm not entirely sure - that line is fairly ambiguous - but I can share my own interpretation! Here, Atsushi is trying to explain Akutagawa that the reason why Dazai has not acknowledged him yet is not, as Akutagawa is convinced of, because he isn't strong enough, and that his being powerful is actually of no interest to Dazai. Atsushi suggests that there's something else Dazai is waiting for Akutagawa to grow better at before acknowledging him, and Akutagawa will only be able to see what it is by keeping himself from killing (likely, what Atsushi is thinking Akutagawa lacks is moral virtue to some extent, compassion and humanity. I feel like that's also consistent with how Dazai sees Akutagawa in Beast, and what believes is wrong with him: “It’s human nature to lash out with violence. But if hurting others is your natural instinct… then you are nothing more than a mindless beast” (Dazai, Beast novel, page 18) ).

Akutagawa so far has believed that everything he could do to be seen by Dazai, was proving his own strength; and that his current situation of not being yet recognized was due to his own limits on that front. With that last line, I think Atsushi is telling him: “The reason you are where you are now [both in terms of his path towards being acknowledged by Dazai and overall current status as conjunction of events that led him to be where he is] has nothing to do with your strength or lack thereof. You're here in front of me [in your current situation that led you to this place in this moment] because there's something you've yet to realize [that would be, once again, that strength is not what Dazai seeks in him but rather for Akutagawa to accomplish a moral step up]”.

Additionally, I think Atsushi might also imply: “The reason you're here in front of me, the reason Dazai decided you had to be here, is so that you could see something you still can't grasp”, since both sskk and the bsd author seem to be fairly assured that everything sskk themselves do is because Dazai wanted them to, in some sort of weird determinism (“Why were you so eager to put Akutagawa-kun against that tiger lad? [...] How long have you been aiming for this scenario?” “From the time I met Atsushi-kun.” (Hirotsu, Dazai, chapter 37); “Why do you think Dazai-san put us together?” (Atsushi, chapter 51); “Dazai-san didn't abandon me after all. This was all a trial. A guidepost, lined with wailing.” (Akutagawa, chapter 85); and even more examples could be made; everything sskk do, seems like it's because Dazai wanted them to at some point.)

The reason why Akutagawa looks so conflicted, then, is probably out of bewilderment for Atsushi's words, for the revelation that proving his strength - that is everything Akutagawa has tried to do since meeting him - is actually not the way to make Dazai acknowledge him.

Here's an alternative fantranslation to the official English translation + the raws of that page for further insight :)
