#that shit is just bleak

You you just drop the most insanely heartwarming Wolfstar fics and expect me to continue to exist?? How dare you?? (Meant with all affection currently sobbing after re reading a brief history of dragons)

if you’re not a big puddle of goo on the floor by the time you’re done reading my stories then I have failed. x

I know this scene has been redrawn a million times over but I had to

[old-skyguy]

Look.

Ace Attorney fandom.

I know why people don't like Turnabout Bigtop. I am among the people who dislike Turnabout Bigtop.

But I GET why people like the case. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who just blindly dump on it because I hate those mfs too.

Thing about Bigtop isn't that it sucks. Thing isn't the weird grooming stuff (though that is a huge part of it). It's not that it could've been good.

It's that - in my personal OPINION - it could have been *great*.

I think it had the potential to be one of the best third cases in the trilogy. It had everything; a fun and goofy setting fit for a pretty dang goofy lawyer game - where the environment itself had jokes and quips and one-liners and mishaps and tomfoolery written all over it, it had the previous case introducing a very interesting and important plotline that gave background for one of the more well-loved characters while also introducing an equally fucked up and lovable new one who was a child forced into a shit childhood of naivete in a CIRCUS with another character who was very naive and childish - whose interactions could have been funny and cute and reflective of said shit from the previous case (seriously she becomes such an important character in the 4th case, WHY would they not include her in this one for some character development? How did they fuck up letting a CHILD explore a CIRCUS?? That would have made the interactions flow MUCH better).

They had a pretty good, sympathetic killer imo, a morally dubious victim, an asshole of a client (who was pretty flat admittedly in-game, but I like his weird, topsy-turvy reasoning for it in the anime. Also, I think Max being kinda a dick would have bode well for the themes of Farewell since most of his clients up to this point have been like...nice? Not nice, but sympathetic, but him having to defend someone who's innocent but a prick would have shown him that just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean they deserve to suffer for it and that they have the potential to grow as people, which is almost a complete foil to what Matt was. Ultimately, I would have loved the contrast of them as clients and I think it would have also served as character development for Phoenix, especially with his low-empathy tendencies).

They just didn't think that far ahead. They just didn't execute it well enough. They just decided to make three of the adult characters fight for the hand in marriage of a teenage girl. (Bat's part of the story was actually kinda good if he was just YOUNGER, I think him doing that for Regina would have been a stupid thing someone in the circus would do to impress their crush. Damn you Ace Attorney and your weird treatment of underage girls!!)

It just flopped and that's ok.

Even though it kinda sucked, it can still mean something to me.

Also I'm a Moe Curls apologist. I liked him, shut up.

living through major historical events is never going to be easy or fun, but im trying to keep in mind one of my favorite quotes from uncle iroh.

“you must never give into dispair. allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. in the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself.”

it’s ok to feel anxious, to feel angry, but please take care of yourself today. avoid doomscrolling, hug a friend, do something that brings you comfort. do what you need to in order to keep your head above water.

then, once you’re steady, support the people around you. be kind. do what you can to help your neighbors and friends, especially those who will be feeling the greatest effects of the outcome of this election. if we want to see change in the world, we need to take those first steps ourselves. we will create hope in these dark times, because we will care for each other and take care of one another. as long as we’re here, as long as we care for each other, as long as we fight for each other, there’s hope.

Klarion redesign

Here’s some random trivia on him :

- He’s 26 here but looks and acts older

- He’s very posh and speaks in old English like in Seven Soldiers

- Him and Teekl have a disdain for humans, especially « uncle » Jason

- His power limiters impact his personality but one day he’ll get them off and he’ll be a chaotic shit once again

- He can still use a little bit of magic but mostly to annoy people, he uses it a lot on Jason

SOMETHING THAT HAUNTS ME FOREVER ABOUT BLACK BUTLER is the scene where Ciel finds out Agni is an angel.

He realises an angel came for Soma when no angels came to save him. We know he prayed and prayed to God, yet no angels came to save him, but here is an angel who came for Soma. It proves god is real, and that God didn't care that Ciel was being trafficked (I can't imagine many things worse than what he went through, it was like Yana really piled the trauma on, you would think it would be enough for god to care). God is real, and it left Ciel to die. God is real and its choices are completely arbitrary.

Ciel prayed to Satan in terror and despair, and Satan answered when god wouldn't, and now Ciel is cursed. You know the rules: he will be killed once he has gotten revenge, and he will also be killed if he feels happiness before then. Essentially he isn't allowed to feel joy, for as long as he is alive, ever again, because Satan answered his prayers and God didn't.

Ciel thought this was all he could get, just barely surviving his experience to live an empty life, and then he meets Soma and Agni and learns that he could have had something completely different but was denied it. And when Ciel realises this and looks to Sebastian, Sebastian smiles, because Sebastian got him, and it's too late now.

Ciel was genuinely abandoned by god.

theres two kinds of ships imo

fan art ships where it's mostly an aesthetics thing, their designs look nice together, you want to see them cuddle. drawing/scrolling through art of them is like eating out of a pringles can that doesnt run out. usually popular and inoffensive. probably a lot of redbubble/etsy results to choose from if you want them kissing on your bumper or shirt.

fan fic ships where you think about it until you snap and have to write about the movie that's been playing in your head on loop. 50/50 on if they've tried to kill each other. usually problematic because the complex nature of their relationship is what makes it compelling. might not be popular but the people that want them to kiss are absolutely unhinged about it and can write a dissertation on the fights they'd have in an ikea.

if youre lucky you get one that does both for you

mentioned one of THE most famous linguistic psychologists ever in my GRADUATE LEVEL psych class during discussion and everyone looked at me like i was crazy, asked me who the fuck that was, and proceeded to start talking about tiktok and taylor swift. girl it’s so fucking over

[aletterinthenameofsanity]

Me, adding in what was originally supposed to be a small Christmas chapter to my dead boy detectives fic series not because I'm religious but because "In the Bleak Midwinter" wrecks me every time I listen to it AND it's a British hymn old enough for Edwin to know AND I can combine it with emotional moments for every one of the main characters ESPECIALLY for Charles? More likely than you think!
