Harmony Syndrome Part 5/5
The last chapter of my mlp infection AU! Thank you to everyone who followed along. Some final thoughts on my twitter @cracklewink if anyone's interested : )
#mlp#my little pony#mlp infection au#mlp infection#twilight sparkle#Sorry for leaving the ending open ended but I genuinely couldnt decide on just one way for things to turn out and I liked the idea of#leaving it open the most#in my mind sunset's final message is like we found a recording from the later days of the infection and we dont know what happened in the#end because the recordings stopped/ended#In any case I think they were able to put twilight and the others to rest#but who knows who survived the “final battle” and who didnt#also yes Twilight created harmony syndrome but not on purpose lol#it was the result of her botched attempt to create a spell that makes ponies immortal#obviously it backfired lol#and the irony is that twilight ends up dying before any of her friends#if they didnt want me writing my little pony horse tragedy they shouldnt have left mlpfim off on the note that all of twilight's friends#were growing old without her#ending thats been haunting me for five years#if anyones seeing this this is an open au btw so feel free to adopt any of the ideas if you like! : )#tw thanatophobia#thanatophobia

I'm not going back to Gusu with you.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#Those last two high effort comics where just a warm up for this masterpiece. My true magnum opus.#I was originally going to do this gag as a 'alternate version of comic 155'#Then I realized that they have the 'Come back to Gusu with me' conversation twice. So here we are!#I did consider having WWX say 'I'm not going back to gusu with you' in the comic for the better plot accuracy.#I'm invoking the rule of silly by having Wei Wuxian read between the lines of 'Come back to Gusu with me'.#Because it does feel like a confession! It is a confession of 'I care about your safety and I worry for what may happen.'#It is also poorly articulated. You can't really blame WWX for reading into it as 'LWJ is just another person trying to control me.'#The relationship between them is not good! It is two parties who genuinely want to be closer with each other but cannot communicate it.#You can't really have what makes these two work so well as a dynamic without the past history of:#“Back then I really wanted to be your friend.” They are a *missed connection*!#WWX reaches out and LWJ rejects him. And now when LWJ reaches out it is WWX who pushes them apart.#It is a tragedy about the consequences of being out of tandem and realizing what you want far too late.#The momentum of WWX's downfall is far to fast to reverse now. It's a 'When' not ''if' question.#Back to your normal style of PD-MDZS next update. Thank you for reading!

i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD
#ramble#also only 0.29 delivery instead of 3.99#and chilli cheese bites#i swear to god the best food you'll ever eat while drunk is from the tiny shithole that's open until 4am#if you're refusing to do literally the smallest thing you can do to help then i have questions#it's FOOD. you'll survive#it's not even NECESSARY food#if it was like a chain grocery place and you don't have access to anything else then i would understand#but it's just NOT#make your own coffee for the love of god#when there is NOTHING you can do to stop this fucking tragedy. and let's be honest there isn't a lot normal people can do#and people say to you 'do this insignificant thing just to show that you even CARE'#and you DON'T do that???? what is actually wrong with you#also i've been worried about this since my last post about sbucks but this is Not an attack on the people who WORK at the boycotted places#because it is an absolute privilege to be able to leave your job and immediately find a new one

Something something Merlin is Arthur's bane.
#i just love the idea that merlin literally fabricates the Excalibur thing to show that arthur is the chosen one. that he will unite the#land and rule albion. but it is literally. actually. all an illusion bc merlin has already damned arthur thru his actions... or rather#his inactions. becoming Arthur's bane. i wish that was the actual premis of the show in an intentional way. young merlin tries to live in a#way that's moral despite what is Known in the future. he actions are motivated by love to protect arthur but with each action we#close in around arthurs death. i wish that wasnt something thr show just stumbled into thru poor writing? early cancelation?#i dunno. we can argue all day abt the prophesy and whether or not its real or something merlin should live by#but i love the idea that it is real and true and every move merlin makes agaisnt it is a curse upon arthur. by keeping himself clean he#damns his king. delicious. rather than uh oh. uhhhh seems like merlin kinda fucked everything. oops 😬#i dunno. i just love a tragedy#merlin#bbc merlin#arthur pendragon#ugh and if merlin followed the prophecy arthur would b king but merlin would be a shadow of himself#also. did i fuck the rock up yes?#did i fuck up on the rock blood? yes#should i have gone with a rainbow swish for the sword? yes#but here we are. happy Christmas#tw blood

I keep seeing people complaining about War of the Rohirrim being predictable and it is deeply frustrating. Yes, it’s predictable— it’s a tragedy. The point of a tragedy isn’t to surprise you, it’s to tell you what is going to happen and to make you care anyways. You know this character is going to die from the moment he appears, but you care about him anyways, that’s the thing, it does the thing, it forces you to care.
#it sets you up to know what is going to happen and makes you confront why it happens#the core of a tragedy is that if one thing had happened differently then everything would have been alright#war of the rohirrim#wotr#Háma#Haleth

A “buddy” vigilante story where Jason and Tim go back in time during Dick’s time as Robin, when the Worlds Greatest Detective was still young.
Basically, they significantly change the past and in the most annoying way possible. Tim knows that no one will know it was them and has been pretty morally flexible about the whole thing. They go down the list of rogues, down the list of siblings, bickering about it the whole time.
Jason kills the Joker, Tim rescues Cass, and both of them try and get one over on the other about their past selves.
Because Tim tries to talk baby Jason into stealing the Bat’s tires early while Jason’s out murdering Zucco, and Jason’s out snatching Tiny Tim and his camera from rooftops trying to leave him gift wrapped in the batcave while Tim’s out stealing info from Luthor.
It’s one giant clusterfuck but they’re successful because Tim and Jason combined are absolutely lethal and no one ever saw them coming.
Meanwhile, they keep running into Robin and absolutely losing it over seeing their oldest brother so young and angry.
Dick tries to track them down after they killed Zucco, he wants to ask why. What the hell they could possibly be doing or why that would matter to them.
Tim pushes Jason off a roof.Jason lights Tim’s ancient computer on fire. Tim tears a book in half. Jason takes pictures of Tiny Tim and sets them as his wallpaper. It’s a comedy, your honor.
And probably the worst headache Batman will ever get.
#batman#bruce wayne#jason todd#dick grayson#redhood#tim drake#nightwing#cassandra cain#red robin#because in every time travel fic something goes wrong or they don’t really kill the joker and everybody learns something about morality blah#blah blah come on let tim and jason have a little murder as a treat and tim helped babs write code for the watchtower and updates for the#batcomputer so he knows certain cases and writes all of these files for bruce about the justice league and the titans and ra’s he knows#batman needs to be prepared so he absolutely stacks his hand fuck the timline tim knows what batman is after and it’s justice#meanwhile jason is befriending alfred in secret making sure the joker never goes after him and babs sparring with robin to get out his anger#abducting little timmy helping out narrows and blondie leaving cass to tim and overall making sure the family is on track because he knows#what bruce wants and it’s a family#one jason will make sure doesn’t rip itself apart through tragedy#demon brat is the only real wrench because they have to wait for him to come out of his pod and THEN abduct him#and bruce is doing his best to be willfully ignorant of all these new children and case files on the batcomputer because every time he#tries to object to their methods he gets a glare from alfred and a new child to take care of

hey. what if she isn't doomed by the narrative . what if she is doomed by herself
#what if she is the only reason for the tragedy and what if what if what if giving power back to the women#didn't mean making them innocent and naïve and one-dimensional victims#clytemnestra#medea

"extremely islam-critical, AfD-supporting Saudi-Arabian immigrant doctor kills 5 and injures 200 in a terrorist attack" sounds like a headline you'd see in a fake newspaper made for a shitty sitcom but it is in fact real news

Tragedy enjoyers when there’s not one, not two, but three combinations of tragic relationships at the center of the narrative AND they’re bisexual
#yes this is about wicked#but feel free to make it about anything else you want it to be#yes I’m thinking about wicked bc of the film but#this is largely just the concept of wicked#anyway. thinking about the tragedy of the core three#they’re so tragic bisexual polycule to me#elphaba x fieryo? ✋🏻😩🤚🏻#elphaba x glinda? ✋🏻😩😩🤚🏻#glinda x elphaba x fieryo?? ✋🏻😩😩😩🤚🏻#hilariously glinda x fieryo is a paring I think only works romantically pre-the force elphaba wrecks in their life#like once they’ve both been Irrevocably Changed By Elphaba I don’t think it works anymore#but the two are forever intertwined with each other and are important to the other. I just don’t think it’s romantic (whatever that’s worth)#anyway. BWAH!!!#thinking about Glinda… thinking about Glinda in no one mourns the wicked… and her blank in what happened to elphaba and fieryo#ok rambling tags over. content tags now#wicked#wicked the musical#wicked the movie#wicked 2024#elphaba thropp#elphaba wicked#hey who was gonna tell me I’ve been spelling fiyeros name wrong this whole time#glinda the good witch#glinda upland#galinda upland#fiyero tigelaar#glinda x elphaba#fiyero x elphaba#elphaba x glinda x fiyero#glinda x elphaba x fiyero

#god i had a fever this entire morning and afternoon so I think it was my inability to do anything that finally pushed me to finish this#seriously it took a month... disapointing#more disappointing is that i didn't have the time to tear up the internet in order to find what a professors break room looked like in 1899#if there was such a thing#really tragic#ah yea welp im very glad it's out there atleast. I want to release all of my black butler stuff so badly but guh...#tragedy has struck and i have been inspired to finally make a person project of my own#so that's taking a long time#but not to worry after like 5 years and some pondering i know well that black butler will always be one half of my brain#coooool#anyway i got more dorky stuff coming I hope??? wasn't lying before I am thinking of the midfords#and ill pray i can find the strength to get everything done soon#hope my rants are more tasteful after months of absence if ur still here#kuroshitsuji#black butler#kuroshitsuji fanart#fanart#sebastian michaelis#digital art#animation#animatic#video#weston college arc#black butler anime#black butler agares

god. GOD the Ezra transmission at the end of season 1 still makes me fuckigng sick to think about, especially with the context of Mira and Ephraim hearing it. To think that for eight years his parents had been ripped away from their son all for the crime of speaking out for hope, never knowing what became of their Ezra, of that tiny seven year old left on the streets scared and crying and alone, to spend days and months and years in that awful place with all of that emptiness and then, and then and then and then.
And then they hear their boy's voice again, and they know him immediately, even without name, because of course they do, that's their son, that's their Ezra, and he's speaking out for hope just as they did, and they've been apart from him longer than they ever had him, but his voice is here, his hope is here, and he talks about how they inspired him, how he's carrying on their legacy of courage and community hope, how he has a new family - thank God he has a family, he is safe and he is loved, even if they will never know who has loved him so much as to earn the title of family - and that hope will one day prevail, just as they taught him it would.
They hear his voice, by god they hear his voice, and it's one of the last sounds they ever hear.
#i think i hauve covid#star wars rebels#swr#ezra bridger#mira bridger#ephraim bridger#the tragedy and legacy of the bridgers makes me so fucking ill it's unreal. what do you MEAN they're alive for all season one and-#what do you MEAN they're dead by s2 and we don't even know it until Legacy. what the fuck#mossy speaks#igyghjekgmg. god. god. god. god.#slight correction to this post- i forgot legacy is actually when they die not just when ezra finds out#but fuck man. fuck

The Charcuterie Board, as designed by your votes! Thank you to everyone who participated; this was a fun challenge!
#charcuterie saga#The original version of this was a watercolour but unfortunately I left it behind while travelling...#Along with some of my comic pages and my scripting notes (that's why I have yet to post more pd-mdzs...I funked it up big time)#This board was made on Dec 30th and I am very thankful to the people who helped donate various components to make it possible.#I took a few variations on the composition and while this one has some flaws - I think it has the most personality!#True Charcuterie fans will look at my choices and weep but I never promised good charcuterie!!! I promised accuracy to the poll!#Some elements stand in as 'double counting' in categories. Which was a survival technique for me.#I had to learn a lot of new things to make this possible! My skills like in making the physical wooden board - not the arrangement of food!#Rosemary was hotly debated as I personally do think it counts as edible (so not a valid pick for 'decoration').#I also thought tomato sauce could count as a fruit and spread.#My cursed hand has fingerprints in other parts of this tragedy. Beware looking too closely.#Of course there is a version of reality in which I have the disposable income to buy 20+ different kinds of cheese and-#-make this baby absolutely massive. Not the reality I live in though.#What a wild experience this saga has been. So many opinions about cheese (and other foods).#EDIT: I mislabelled the Salami! There is salami on the board!!!

shuichi posting
#my art#fanart#strawberridraws#danganronpa#drv3#shuichi saihara#character design#don't ask me what possessed me to make this#(its the game grumps play through. the demons have officially returned)#all my aus and head canons bouncing around at maximum velocity rn..#technically this is part of my “the tragedy was real” au / towa kids au#but shuichi (in that au) was kinda just like#what he is on the tin#aka a nice dude taken under his uncles wing post parent death (tragedy) (they were on vacation and got caught up in one of the worst areas)#in my au its like. imagine a weather map with hotspots; that's how the tragedy worked#so shuichi lived in a less effected area but with the rise of infected people (like zombie apocalypse style) (and animorphs brain worm styl#as you cannot tell who is effected by despair and to what extent unless they choose to reveal themselves)#there was a hugeee uptick in crime and shit so he started working with his uncle early on#eventually his uncle went missing (I think its not super hammered out) and he went to investigate#which is when he runs into his like Gang of pregame ppl#(Kaito maki Kaede)#and later some others (towa kid gang [kokichi gang but with drv3 kids] island gang [angie kork n amami])#ANYWAYS its a thing...#ik its been like 3 years since I first posted about it but u can't control the brain worms ig#and I just wanted to do a redesign lmao

I do think it was a little messed up for RR to use Jason as emotional fodder in Trials of Apollo and then kill off the poor kid in a series he wasn't even a main character of... but also I can't lie. Jason's story ending with months of self-isolation, suffering, and then death, does make his character infinitely more interesting to me unfortunately
#TO ME are the key words#what can I say im a tragedy enjoyer#to be clear I'm not or have ever been a Jason hater#he was always just soooo nondescript to me in hoo#but making the boy suffer and then actually killing him off? wild.#jason grace#doesn't change the fact that Jason should have died in hoo#if he was gonna die#mine

The thing about TMA is that if I think about Sasha James too much I will cry and if I think about Michael Shelley too much I will cry and if I think about Agnes Montegue too much I will cry and if I think about Jonathan Sims too much I will cry and if I think about Naomi Herne too much I will cry and if I think about Gerry Keay too much I will cry and if I think about Tim Stoker too much I will cry and if I think about Jane Prentiss too much I will cry and if I think about Martin Blackwood too much I will cry and—
#tma is a horror podcast and i absolutely love it on those merits#but i think where it really excels is as a tragedy#SO many characters - major and minor - have these unique and insanely fascinating individual tragic arcs#i could sit and think about any one of them for hours#it’s just such good and sad and interesting writing#it’s what makes me so completely unable to get this podcast out of my head even years after it’s ended#tma#the magnus archives#jonathan sims#sasha james#tim stoker#martin blackwood#naomi herne#jane prentiss#gerard keay#michael shelley#agnes montague
