#dude it would've made SENSE hercules is literally trying to convince her to join his band of morally dubious characters#in the name of the greater good -- the new suit is PART of that persuasion. it's a SYMBOL.#and she's already been so much darker since kon's death like the one year later time skip had her FUCKED UP man#her teammates disagree with due to the violence (namely killing some griffons instead of relocating them to the fortress of solitude)#she's isolated from her peers AND she's still feeling the repercussions of the Amazons Attack arc where she tried to kidnap the president#and both she and her mother are basically under deep witness protection#it could've been SUCH a good foreshadow if they just made this the costume#esp bc the arc where they unwrite the titans of tomorrow hasn't happened yet#FUCK (tags via op)

Damn, I really thought I was about to make some crazy observation here and connect the dots that Hercules was the one who gave Cassie the costume she ends up using for her Titans of Tomorrow Evil Arc, but alas, DC in 2007 was simply not on my level

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

I love how D-16’s optics are yellow, instead of the same blue like the other bots. Showing that although he’s not a “good” bot, he’s also not “evil” that D-16 does have a heart. No matter how buried it is under all that hate, betrayal, and hurt.

I also love how D-16’s optics slowly get more red as he finds out the truth of Sentinal Primes lies. I love how even if it seemed he really did want to kill Sentinal (and did), there was still a chance to turn him back. But no one was able to, no one saw that “hey, maybe if I push harder, he’ll listen?”

I love how close D-16 was to not become Megatron. But still did because the world is not perfect, the world isn’t fair.

Anyways I just got back from watching Transformers One and absolutely loved it!! Gives me soooo many brain worms eating away at my actual common sense <3 ✨✨🫶✨🫶🫶

The Syd Poll

the topic of this poll is one that is frequently avoided in the pink floyd fandom, but inevitably one we all consider – our individual views on what we think caused syd's psychological struggles (and by extension, led to his departure from the band). I think that – at least in this neighborhood of tumblr – this is a conversation we are capable of having in a way that is civil, nuanced, and at least minimally disrespectful to syd.

So, to help facilitate this, here are some ground rules:

let's all assume we have a mutual understanding of the complexities of this. syd could never actually be reduced down to a poll, and all of our viewpoints are limited in various ways

the poll options just serve as just a conversation starter, and responses are not necessarily a statement of absolute beliefs

feel free to discuss as much or as little of your own perspective as you feel comfortable sharing.

in the case that debates break out, please try to assume good intent – and also demonstrate it (unless, for instance, someone is being blatantly insulting beyond a misunderstanding that needs correcting)

please do NOT vote if you are not actually a pink floyd fan with at least basic knowledge about what we're talking about here.

The options I've included below are not meant to be exhaustive, they are simply the "theories" that I have seen most commonly circulated. I have also decided not to include combinations. I'm fairly sure we'd all agree multiple factors were involved. Rather than make the poll too complicated, I ask you to instead select the one that you think is the "most" important to your viewpoint, and clarify further in your tags/comments as you wish.

so. here we go.

READ BEFORE VOTING ^^^^

(note of correction: "late-onset schizophrenia" should just be "schizophrenia". the typical timeline for onset of symptoms is late adolescence/early adulthood, so syd would've been well within that period at the time)

those 2011 pics remind me of hard the McLaren race suits used to fuck, I loved the vodafone era suits so much 🥹

YES AGREED!!! I love the Vodafone McLaren livery, literally peak!!!!!

Thank you for sending this ask bcs now I get to talk about 2011 in particular. There were these special Saturday race suits and they're all so pretty!!! Hugo Boss did a design competition to celebrate their partnership with McLaren and different artists made different designs for the Quali days. They're so beautiful 🥹🥹 Why can't they do anything fun like that now???? I digress, I went through all the Qualis and compiled pics of all of them!!

For the first time in a good few years, I'm pleased to announce that I am designing a brand new line of robot master OCs for a faux Mega Man project like Mega Man Ultimate— and while I'm still a little ways in revealing the bigger details, I really wanted to post art I drew of my latest fanon robot master... the effervescent Dazzle Woman! 💛🧡✨

Going insane over the way AFO lifts the sword out of his shoulder because it’s so. He doesn’t even use his hand, his palm, to grab it. He uses the back of his hand to lift it up and away

For someone like AFO who we know has a Big Thing with his hands - not just with his quirk but the way he uses them, the way he Offers and gestures, the way they trap and cover - seeing him not even care to properly lift the sword but, instead, lift it with the back of his hand; it’s so clear the attack is nothing to him. The object is nothing to him. By extension, Hawks’ efforts are nothing to him

And the thing is like. This is such a specific gesture. It means so much body language-wise for a character like AFO, but ESPECIALLY because it was drawn by Horikoshi, who has said that “hands are the body part most capable of showing expression and character”

Personally I would have been talking about stuff like this anyway but what gives it more weight and appeal for me is that I know Hori likes drawing hands. That means he puts a lot of care into how hands are drawn. So the fact that I can look at this panel and know that this gesture was drawn with care for how and why the character would do it, that it FITS the character so well, is just really good
