Gonna go read Quirk Development Theories for the billionth time to cope with recent manga events. TT_TT ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is going to be a moment in the manga when we think that Nighteye's vision has come to pass, but it will *not* actually happen.
That time has come.
Manifesting my version so hard right now.
(I'm glad my fic can help you cope ❤️)
#bnha manga spoilers#bnha spoilers#bnha ch 402#listen#horikoshi has beat us over the head with the twisting fate thing#and the AM will live thing#if he undermines that at this point#that's just shooting himself in the foot#anon asks#thanks anon

Heichachi: So sad that even tho I love my family I had to put them down for being devils and destined for evil 😔 Alas there was no other way 😔
Jun, kissing Kaz and hugging Jin: Skill issue.
#like as much as I shit on heihachi it IS an interesting character flaw he has#like lets give him the benefit of the doubt: kazumi did try to kill him and his relationship with kaz was doomed as soon as he killed her#and neither kaz nor jin ever try to downright kill jun#but heihachi never like. tried. Like the cliff throwing is narratively important bc without that we wouldnt have tekken#but he just jumped to conclusion and doomed his own baby son to protect HIMSELF#and sure. mayyybe you can raise an argument for heihei with kazumi and kazuya. but WITH JIN?#unforgivable. to use his own grandson and to betray him in such an horrifying way JUST because jin is his father's son#smth about the mishima only knowing how to destroy...#meanwhile the kazama foster life. she loved kaz and raised jin with love.#and even tho tekken will shoot itself on the narrative foot to try and give reason to heihachi. it's jun who is objectively in the right#tagging later

Honestly, even without Art’s attempts at manipulation and sabotage, I don’t think Patrick and Tashi’s relationship would’ve survived anyway. Before they started dating, Patrick was criticizing her career plans and Tashi was never interested in entertaining his massive ego at her expense. Passion and chemistry are important to relationships, but if that’s the only foundation, it’s gonna crumble quickly.
The only difference between Patrick/Tashi vs Art/Tashi is that the relationship would’ve ending with a bang instead of a whimper.
#challengers#challengers spoilers#patrick and tashi need art between them#his willingness to submit even when done so with manipulative intentions does let tashi and patrick to indulge in their desire for control#the movie makes a point of saying that patrick is constantly shooting himself in the foot because he’s unwilling to humble himself#art let patrick get away with a LOT but tashi does and would not#but even tho patrick does get to the point where he can humble himself it’s still necessary for patrick to go off script and stir shit up#the way the film ends makes it abundantly clear that all three of them need each other to function#and that each person brings something different to the trio that each person needs#so i don’t buy that patrick and tashi could’ve worked things out on their own#tashi so clearly likes art’s dependence and loyalty to her#while also getting a lot from patrick’s passion and pushback#would also like to say that i personally love when art’s a mean little bitch#not only cause it’s fun but because it really seems born out of a fear of being left alone/behind#spreading my ‘art’s a greedy pillow princess that actually needs TWO tops to handle him’ agenda#and wrt the injury…sorry no one’s actually at fault for that#not only could no one could ever engineer something like that#it could’ve happened at any time because that’s life#in the film it’s meant to underscore the danger of disharmony between all three of them#and snap the tenuous thread holding all three of them together#and placing blame kind of misses the overall point the film is going for wrt the relationship between all three#hey is it just me or has this film broken my brain

Can we talk about the moment today where when Chayanne was upset about Tallulah telling Phil about what happened, when Phil asked “Do you guys not trust me?” Chayanne DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE JUST LEFT (Unless I missed something in that stream, but that’s what I saw happen)
#qsmp chayanne#qsmp#qsmp philza#qsmp tallulah#Chayanne ‘would shoot himself in the foot with a gun for his loved ones without hesitation’#I just think it hurts#Did Chayanne even talk to Phil after all that happened? I know he went with Tallulah back to Rose’s Sacuntary but

I love how this show said "okay we are going to give you a pretty guy with a six pack, but in exchange, we're going to make him the biggest romantic disaster out of all the guys we've had in his position on the show." And so balance was maintained in the world.
#random#yes this is the mystery cozy murder show#with the rarepair#anyway they really did say yeah he's over six feet and stacked#but he also can't try to flirt without shooting himself in the foot#he opens his mouth and his foot flies into it#the entire fucking department is going to go HIM??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING US??? when the koala is like yeah that one. I want that one.#...I didn't plan to make the koala's nickname 'the koala' but it just. look at him. it fits.#ANYWAY BACK TO BREAKING DOWN OVER BUDDIE

drafting a masterpost about my sou hiyori did headcanon and i cant wait for 3-2 to come out when im halfway through writing it and completely discredit all my conclusions
#kostik speaks#nankidai please youre nothing give me this much#i know its not canon and never will be but i cant wait for there to be some new scene that just shoots the hc in the foot somehow#though idk. im versatile. i can imagine anyone as dissociative. bring it on#he could say with his whole chest that all of this was just an elaborate performance and id still make it work#hell. i have already. his mastermind persona is a key part of how he psychologically defends himself

c!Purpled's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day part 2 (wherein he loses c!Punz a second time)
So after a month and a half of trying to corner Purpled to talk to him, c!Sapnap finally gets some results. Purpled approaches him of his own volition, even, and asks if they can talk.
Of course they can talk. Not here, though. Not is Los Nevadas where they're constantly being watched even when they feel alone. Sapnap loves c!Quackity, but he's also overheard one of the times when c!Slimecicle was reporting to him about Karl. And they've just had a fight recently. So Sapnap doesn't really want to risk the one chance he has to finally get something right for once.
Purpled seems surprised that Sapnap doesn't want to have their conversation in Los Nevadas, and even a little... pleased? Maybe Sapnap's wrong--Purpled is hard to read and also a bit mercurial in the way all teenagers tend to be. He says that he knows a place, and asks Sapnap to meet him on the edge of Los Nevadas in about 20 minutes.
Okay, go time. Sapnap switches Punz's core crystal from his enderchest into his hotbar, and heads out to find Purpled's meeting spot. From there, Purpled directs them both out into the desert a ways.
They stop at a small platform made of sand. There's a one-block wall of three terracotta blocks in a row, and a single block of sand in the center that Purpled breaks to reveal a trap door. A secret base? But the platform and the wall, the way it's built up away from the rest of Las Nevadas artificial desert--it reminds Sapnap of a stage.
But they're alone here; the walk would have revealed Slime if he was following them. So it's safe to talk, even if they aren't in whatever Purpled's secret base is, just yet.
Sapnap climbs onto the platform and approaches Purpled. He's got his back facing to Sapnap, and seems to be fiddling with some mechanism attached to the trap door. "So, about Punz...."
And that's when Purpled whips around and tosses two splash potions right into Sapnap. Sapnap stumbles back, feels the way the heavy press of Weakness drags his body out of position, the stagger from bones grown too-heavy winds him and chokes off the rest of his sentence. Attempting to correct feels like wading through honey, Slow and sticky and resistant.
"Of course you know all about Punz," Purpled hisses, and goes at Sapnap with a sword. Sapnap only barely manages to swap his own sword out of inventory to try and counter. "Come to gloat?"
Oh, he thinks that I'm going to blackmail him with Punz's core crystal.
"Wait! I came to--" but Purpled is pushing Sapnap too hard; the weakness potion combined with Purpled's own skill cutting off all attempts at conversation. Purpled is controlling the flow of battle. He swings out around Sapanp, forcing him to pivot, and then begins to force Sapnap back towards the trap door. An actual trap then, and not a secret base.
But even though Purpled could be doing a lot of damage, he's not. Sapnap is Slow and Weak and he's not even wearing armor. Purpled has a Netherite sword (it's Punz's sword, the one Sapnap watched him painstakingly remake after Doomsday. The one that Punz didn't drop, when he returned to his core crystal) and he's a good fighter (he fights like Punz did). Sapnap isn't dead because Purpled doesn't want him dead. He's barely even burned, because Purpled clearly has a tight control of the Flame Aspect II enchantment, enough to leave scorching lines without outright setting Sapnap on fire.
So Sapnap takes a chance.
"Wait!" Sapnap staggers back from the next sword blow without even trying to dodge or block. His sword is out of his hands as he switches hotbar inventory slots. An indigo core crystal replaces it.
Purpled's expression goes from anger to pure, boiling fury in an instant. "Drop him. Drop him right now!" Purpled lunges. He hasn't put his sword away yet, and it's leading point-first, tip headed straight towards Sapnap's heart.
Sapnap takes another step back, feels the footing change from sand to the wood of the trap door. Hears the pop of lava underneath, and the soft "click" as something gives. One moment he's fine, and the next he's off balance, empty air where solid footing had been. Sapnap drops the core crystal. Worried that it might fall into the lava, too, he fumbles to catch it.
There's a hand in his, and then Punz is hauling Sapnap back onto the sand. He looks almost the same, except he's missing his usual hoodie. The aether lines flicker down his arms, bright and pulsing.
Purpled screams wordless grief.
"Sapnap!" Quackity is there, with a crossbow and Slimecicle and then Punz is moving.
~
Purpled is not having a good day. At first, it seems like his plan is working fine. But it turns out the reason Sapnap wants to talk to him is about Punz, Punz who is lost who-knows-where out in the wilderness of the server, Punz who is probably already in the Eggpire's hands, and Purpled feels his whole mood sour.
It doesn't help that Sapnap is clearly trying to talk him out of this. Wait? Sapnap's not his friend. And he's done enough waiting--Quackity will get what's coming to him and when he does, Purpled might consider the debt books to be balanced.
Not likely. After all, in addition to getting Purpled killed and getting Punz lost, Quackity never bothered to pay Purpled's mission fee and isn't paying enough now, for Purpled's presence in Los Nevadas. If Purpled wasn't here for revenge, he'd have left long ago.
And then it's Punz's core crystal in Sapnap's hands, like Sapnap if fucking taunting him, and Sapnap didn't fucking listen and the fucking trapdoor gives way and--
And Punz is there. But Purpled doesn't feel any different.
Quackity's caught up to them, a bit ahead of schedule, with his pet Blade at his heels, as if Blades weren't their own fucking people. And Purpled may have started this while the sun was blazing hot with not a cloud in the sky (can't do damage as a lightning Blade if there's no storm to Channel, can you?), but Quackity has a crossbow and his aim isn't actually terrible.
There's an arm around Purpled's shoulders, and Purpled leans into the motion into the touch and grab and move the way he's done since he was small, and this little trick ended with him balanced on Punz's hip instead of deposited gently behind him as he cut the arrow out of the air.
"That's enough," says Punz, as if he didn't just perform one of the moves he's been using to protect Purpled just the same as he did a decade ago.
But Punz stopped being Purpled's Blade the moment he died. Purpled is still cold, a yawning absence in his heart.
"No one is fighting anyone," Punz says, in the tone that sounds reasonable but means he's angry and about a step back and to the side from resorting to magic to end the conversation.
The conversation that Purpled missed. Is missing. Its unprofessional, and Punz is going to scold him the second they're alone again.
He won't. Because "alone" is no longer Purpled-and-Punz. He's just Purpled, and Punz is out of his reach.
Purpled has played Bedwars enough that the towering is instinctual. He knows how to speed bridge, but the ender pearls in his inventory are a much safer alternative. After all, Purpled knows better than anyone exactly how dangerous Punz is, how quick to react and the lengths of his range.
The harming potion in his hotbar is almost an accusation. But they're brewed for Players, not Blades. Just one won't be enough to beat a Blade's regen. And even if he tossed it at Sapnap, new Blades are protective.
Punz would block it, and go down screaming (did he scream, when the Resonance snapped? The way Purpled did, before the UFO went to pieces around him, and him with it?) and come back mad enough to shred his enemy (what would that protectiveness look like, on the other side of Punz's gaze? Purpled can only imagine it as he always sees it, staring at the way Punz's shoulders set into a positional that heralds lethal anticipation).
So this time it failed. So what. It was fine. Purpled would just need to think of a different plan.
#dsmp#dsmp au#c!purpled#c!punz#c!Sapnap#DSMP Blade System AU#c!purpled's terrible horrible no good very bad day part 2#in which Punz not telling Purpled that the experiments were about Blades keeping their memories shoots himself in the foot#adding purpled to the list of people who aren't dealing well with the Blade system#also to the list of people who would've solved all their problems if they'd just communicated#Sapnap isn't doing too great either because he got caught between his need to have something go right and Purpled's revenge quest#punz is very done and would like and explanation and also for Quackity and his Blade to stop trying to murder his people#will probably explain what went down while purpled was dissociating in a different post

thinking about my last two special interests media-wise and what they have in common and i think a main pointer is they both have deeply traumatised hard-to-kill and not-really-human protagonists who think because of all that, pain and suffering matters less when it happens to them
#tgcf#murderbot#xie lian#thinking xie lian getting trampled to death to save banyue bc he cant REALLY die#and murderbot not dodging when being shot at in fugitive telemetry bc there are humans behind it that could get hit#losing 20% of its body mass in asr and being like im fine tho just need a minute to heal#and xie lian blowing off fu yao and nan feng's shock and concern over his tripping on a cloud injuries#murderbot shooting itself in the chest to stop itself from killing the presaux gang bc of the combat override#and xie lian running himself through with hong-ers sword to prevent doing something hed regret bc of the land of the tenders#xie lian being so numb to pain he just doesnt process it any more until hua cheng refuses to let his injuries go#and then a single pin in his foot is unbearable#and murderbot accumulating trauma after trauma and keeping on going like its fine#until forced to confront the lengths its loved ones (ART especially) will go to save and protect it#and then finally starting to process everything and falling apart

I wanna write a Wesper AU at some point where Wylan is a healer and works for the crows in that way as well as demo and all, and the crows often come to him when hurt. However, Jesper comes to see him most of all, and Wylan starts to get this sneaking suspicion that Jesper is purposely getting shot just so he has an excuse to see Wylan (and have his hands touching him and fixing him and-)
#wesper#wylan x jesper#this has been on my mind for a while#so watch this space#wesper fic#jesper would 100% consider shooting himself in the foot just to go see wylan

tommy's new merch comes out early-mid may and he has been "working with women to make it good"!
#by 'working with women' he means he 'asked elodie for advice' because she apparently has great fashion sense#he just likes to shoot himself in the foot by phrasing everything as badly as he can i suppose#alex.rambles.txt#cc!tommy#liveblogging#mcyt
