#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#granny wen#a-yuan#It's always fascinating how colours translate from the page to the screen.#It would probably surprise a lot of people to see what some of these comics actually look like in physical form.#My lighter colours takes about 3-4 washes before it shows up on scan which means it tends to ripple the page.#And my yellows and oranges are drastically different colours when scanned compared to the ink colour.#There's about 20 or so comics where everyone's hair is purple - because it scanned in the exact same colour as my light grey.#Wait my book is right here in front of me so I can...yeah...Comics 57-77 were indeed purple.#This is all to say - is it not fascinating how what we see is often not the full truth of what the subject truly is?#Is it not fascinating to open another episode that reminds us that despite everyone's claims they could totally spot the evil YLLZ-#-The man walks around among them for months as no more than a man haggling for deals like the rest.#It's almost as if he's just a person. It's almost as if none of us - no matter what we do are really anything more than just a person.#Your good acts will be overtaken by how other's interpret you in negative light.#Just as easily are people willing to forgive crueler actions if they hold you in high esteem.#But what's real? Is the page I hold the real version of this comic? Is it the one you look at?#Is the man known as Wuxian the most himself when he is alone or on the battlefield?#Perhaps he is and has always been a scared orphan boy lost in the market.#I think there is no good answer to any of these questions.#But I do know that panic rising in WWX as he frantically looks for A-yuan was for more than one boy.#To be human is to have layers around a delicate center. We only really grow around our wounds from childhood.#In other words; Donkey from Shrek would also probably call Wei Wuxian an onion. I'll see myself out now.

so i played through the entirety of tgaa2 with runo's DLC outfit it's what he canonically wears in my mind and it's absolutely great!! he's so snazzy and it compliments both susato's DLC and kazuma perfectly. i absolutely adore chuunosuke
only problem is. because chuunosuke is in EVERY shot with a vacant smile, i can't take emotional scenes seriously anymore
imagine me, reaching the climax of the third chapter of the game, there's the reveal and it's all sentimental and heart-wrenching. and i have to stare at this:
#mak art#mak draws aa#the great ace attorney#dai gyakuten saiban#tgaa#dgs#tgaa spoilers#tgaa2 spoilers#dgs spoilers#dgs2 spoilers#ryuunosuke naruhodou#ryunosuke naruhodo#naruhodo ryunosuke#chuunosuke#someone help me#NOT TO SAY I HATE CHUUNOSUKE I LOVE HIM#HES SO CUTE AND SHAPED#but it's just. runo's actively trying not to cry while he's just standing on his shoulder like ā:3ā#i cant take this it's too hilarious#sorry to this man but there's no way i can be sad w u anymore#also this took way more effort than i planned#it's what i get for being deeply intrigued/fascinated by runo's puppydog eyes ig#gotta get them emotions juuust right#also can't believe my first (formal) art post into the tgaa fandom is a shitpost#hi everypony.#im new.#waves tiredly

i know travis guiding them was 100% travis and not in character as chet bc he didnāt even have the voice going, but i also would like to imagine that chet did exactly that.
i like it generally bc he has moments like that where he drops the chaos when things get serious (iāll never forget watching him and orym talk about will and realizing that oh god, under all those layers of whatever the fuck is going on with him, he cares so much).
but i really like it in this specific situation too bc iām pretty sure imogen was the one to step up after his confession and immediately say they werenāt going to leave him, and i can totally see him avoiding the conversation in the moment but then stepping up to guide her and taking it really seriously out of appreciation.
#idk something about chet and the way he acts when things get serious is FASCINATING to me#like he says he doesnāt get attached but oh he is soooo attached and it shows so much when shit starts going down#even if that shit is just an unexpectedly terrifying team building exercise#yknow like itās inevitable that a piece of the player always ends up in the character#and i would Love if this is a travis trait that chet inherited#bc like. you might think itād be fjord who would get that#but really when you think about it fjord is (with nothing but love for my boy) not always the best under pressure#like i can see him being good at it but also potentially really bad at it#vs chet who like. isnāt the obvious choice but if you pay attention!!! i donāt think it would be out of character at all#idk man i have so many thoughts about this#at first i was like yeah that wasnāt chet at all but then i was like wait. but what if it WAS#c3e79#c3 spoilers#cr spoilers#chetney pock o'pea#bells hells#critical role#c3

#my characters#i missed her so much wowee#her name is katale and thats what she goes by EXCEPT her best friend (and ex boyfriend and boss) who gets to call her kitty#hes just like the all around best guy in her life and she loves him a whole lot#and even though they broke up they have a very loving friendship and shes like#oh i would absolutely kill for him and in fact i am VERY good at killing im honing my skills :3#and her family is actually just a bunch of criminals and the only reason the other guy gets involved#is bc he needs fast money to help his mom with hospital bills and so hes like hey my mom doesnt need to know how shes alive#and then he somehow becomes head honcho and is a rumored to be ruthless man#but hes just incredibly level headed and able to think his way up (and kills a few unpleasant family members for kitty)#and if shes running out and about you can even hear him say shit like#my wife left me i miss my wife#and everyone knows he means katale but no one knows how to react bc its clearly a joke (???) since they broke up#but no one is telling their boss to elaborate the wife situation#kitty however is the entire reason that she gets this lil puppy of an agent to not kill rudyard her dear boss#and somehow they adopt this grown man and also his really weird mentor who faked their death#but they love their puppy son boy agent man#and kitty is super happy to dote on the agent but even she has her lines like WHY DID YOU JUST HAND HIM A GUN#RUDYARD HE TRIED TO KILL YOU LIKE LAST MONTH WHAT ARE YOU DOING#and rudyard is just ??? can i NOT shove a gun into his hands now? what is that? a crime? really? gonna tell on me? a criminal? for crimes?#but genuinely it stresses her out bc she loves her adopted son but loves her best friend and eventually she realizes#ok puppy agent man is loyal to them but not a criminal thats ok#while rudyard is like ... passing him guns to try out as a bonding thing#but also he is fascinated with how good the agents aim is like hey kitty you should watch how far he can shoot perfectly#hey kitty remember all those dead underlings and how precise their kills were to make them not suffer this guy is really good#also for what its worth ruds mom is still alive! shes just in a nursing home now and he goes to visit her#kitty and rudyard have such a fun dynamic to me and both are murderers but its okay (its not)#also kitty likes anime and she has forced rud to watch anime with her and he just accepts his fate#bc it makes kitty happy to share so he will watch to make her happy even if he doesnt understand all the appeal

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.
Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.
Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.
#millions knives#trigun#tristamp#trimax#i hate this man but also i adore him#or at least i adore grinding his psyche between my teeth#guy has so much crunch to him#the worst possible man to me i need to ruin his life#i gotta say that when i first got into trigun the overall tone coming from the fanbase did soften me up to get absolutely demolished by#literally all the fucked up things happening all the time#but i see less ppl horrified about the fucked up things knives does to the sisters he claims to be protecting than i expected??#which idk feels like a waste#also saw someone who said who doesn't like a villain who just wants to protect his sisters and dude if that is what protection looks like#id rather be thrown to the wolves#he is so fascinating to me but also i understand him on a molecular level and thats why i hate him so much but again#crunchy guy#nai saverem#vash's mommy issues have nothing on knives i can prove it ( i cannot but i can infer and i can dream)

yknow i gotta say. lex luthor can be a really fun and interesting villain, but sometimes it does just take me aback the way some people talk about him when trying to make him funny and cool, as if his biggest and most infamous shtick is not extreme, violent xenophobia.
#rimi talks#the man is literally genocidal. AND he wants to kick krypto when he has kryptonite out. thats racism AND animal cruelty#like he can genuinely be such a fun and fascinating villain!!!!! he can!! he's FUN in say superman birthright#but for example new krypton lex? i wanted to throttle that man. i did.#and like i know people do stuff like haha what if supervillain was actually fun or funny or cool etc#but imo that can be done in ways that don't downplay that he Fuckign SUCKS#see also: reign of the supermen movie lex. horrible man. also hilarious to see him onscreen with lois#but the ''good dad lex luthor'' stuff (š) and other things in that general vein make me so....#you know that man would be violently abusive to an alien child in the same way white supremacists are violently abusive to mixed children.#you guys know that. right? his entire thing is vehement and violent xenophobia. you guys know that right#lex luthor (derogatory)#<- its been a hot minute since i blogged about him but im like 90% sure thats my lex tag

the x files au where everything is exactly the same except mulder takes home the child neanderthal from the jersey devil episode and raises them as his own
#you could make this super fun and invoke a sense of deep Guilt on behalf of mulder because he feels he got the mom neanderthal killed#and then you can also make it fun in āc'mon sport let's go throw the ball around kind of wayā#i imagine him at the library checking out books on early humanoid species and how to parent at the same time#the librarian silently checking the books out and wondering what on earth this man could possibly be needing such resources for#imagine scully's reaction to this. i can't quite place it beyond initial Disbelief and then subsequent trying to be as supportive as she ca#and she would probably be also very Nerdy about the whole thing. because she strikes me as someone well-read on the subject and fascinated#we also know she at least has some experience wrangling children which would be relevant#i imagine a bunch of anthropologists perpetually hovering over the child to study him but they have to be Chill and not disrupt his life#so the kid just grows up thinking they have a ton of really cool and supportive aunts and uncles over all the time#meanwhile they scientists are taking notes furiously as they see if he can adapt to playing a gameboy with the other kids#idk someone probably thought of this idea before but it's funny to me#why would the kid go to him and not someone far more qualified? idk i'm just playing pretend in my brain :)#this thought was prompted by me wondering if you time traveled and brought an early humanoid to the modern era do you think the kid#would still play minecraft? i say yes. probably.#i saw a post about something similar years ago and i wonder about it. i hope you would like cartoons and subway surfers neanderthals.#1x05#fox mulder#the x files#txf

Yo what if Merlin not remembering their own childhood is why Satrana canāt see Merlinās pastā¦
YEAH EXACTLY YESS!!!!!!!
It's like looking at a blank canvas
Like, if merlin is (or was) a human, their childhood was so long ago that it's just become either, too irrelevant to be remember or too far gone to even begin remembered
If merlin was NOT a human, then their existence was born out nothing and will never have it, they don't have a beginning just like how they don't have an end. (yes this seem a bit far more of a reach but hey a food of thought)
But if they were a human, that means with each amnesiac episode merlin not only lost memory, but also sense of identity, every. single. time.
And that somehow even more tragic to think about,,, no wonder Satrana can't see anything, what there to see if you can't even pin point where your life start? When you live as countless of different person? What there to see really if you're made of a myth?
Those thoughts kinds eating my brain rn,,, each cycle or each amnesiac episodes it's like merlin born anew , and that's very fucked up cuz he could forgot himself and everyone again the next day...
#What fate crueler.. Used to be human but forgot your entire existence before or born out of nothing and crave that something#Cuz he can go either way tbf#I'm rambling again my bad oabsowbeos#I'm reaching too far so will say these is all headcanons or theory wokay? Wokay#Dionel was right that the genre is comedy.. A tragic comedy that is#Merlin is an enigma.... Such fascinating character for me#venus rambling#afk journey#afk merlin#I'm so sorry if I sound like a mad man everytime I talk about merlin... I can't help myself.. ššļø#Next time I'd think of silly headcanons cuz oh the more I deep thought about this the more I'm like OWBSLBDDP

no but SOMETHING about laudna being FIXATED on crafting, channeling her consciousness into an old self-soothe while dissociating against how Far she is actually initiating her own actions or ignoring delilah's eroding influence, Acting in.... unsavory, self-serving ways, letting delilah whisper in her ear, believing she can handle her manipulation through her burdening cynicism, ALL the while actively consciously Denying any personal intent she Wants to exert.... and it's like ........ is that corruption? smells like a smidge like corruption cos it smells so good
#cr lb#no but I'm obsessed with surface level laudna Swearing she doesn't Mean what she's doing and it's like#can Delilah grow this tree of darkness if the seed had not always somewhere been there all along?????#marisha letting me eat#the way she hides and lies about Bad* moves she's silently choosing to make........ is really fascinating in comparison with the other girl#imogen and fearne letting others' morals dictate their actions while laudna is smiling saying it's Not Bad If I Don't Think It Is :)#and it's SO GOOD#it's SO#Delilah man

"And that season (2023-24 season; Florida Panthers) what sticks out to me, obviously 20 point season but December 23, 2023 against the Vegas Golden Knights... Merry Christmas, Kolesar! I'm gonna grab ya, I'm gonna feed ya a quick right, and you're done-zo! TKO! How ya doin'? This guy is like 6 foot 6 or 6 foot 7, maybe 6'8? I don't know, let's put him at 7 feet tall, you're 5'9, dude! You're fuckin'āyou're a dawg, babey! Just walk us through that though, that's a big fella." "Yeah, he's big and he's tough for sure! So it's obviously not easy to go into something like that. That was, kind-of, a little bit, settling last year's score. He was the one who hit Tkachuk and, you know, ultimately took him out of the rest of the round... We kind-of chat a little bit at the start of that game, and he asked me, 'Well, it's the new year, like that happened last yearāwhy didn't you do something last year?' and I told him I was in a cast, my thumb was broken all playoff-long...I couldn't fight. He's like, 'Oh? Alright, let'sāI'll fight ya then.' You know, whatever happened, happened. You know, obviously, Chucky comes over right after, andāThat was a big win for our team this year."
The Buzz Pod | 8.7.24 (x)(x)
oh my god theyre david and goliathing him...adding more height every second...
"Earlier [Kolesar] said, you know, 'You kind-of missed your chance last season. You should've fought me then.' I told him I was in a castānot really too much I can do about it. He was, obviously, understanding and gave me my shot there. I told Locky to take it because I'm not jumpin' in there!"

#ryan lomberg#hello maffhew mention again#the way he leads into the aftermath with matthew and immediately cuts himself off...#okay...#what-#what were you gonna say#what did matthew-#the intricacies of fighting etiquette in hockeyball... utterly fascinating#cotllion but for hockey fights#i also think immensely of lombo not wanting to take the fo because he was already planning to fight kolesar#this game made me go absolutely it felt so sweet to beat vegas in vegas and have lomby attack dog kolesar after all the pain of the 23scf#we won a cup so like it doesnt really matter anymore#but ill be real i still get very mad when i see the kolesar hit clip#like the emotions that well up in me when i remember how the scf went...and then seeing THAT#i hate vegas with the rage of a thousands suns but i can kinda respect a man who lets someone settle an old score#like thats fair#do you also think about how lomby liberally calls matthew chucky but when he talks about the hit that broke his collarbone he uses tkachuk#or am i the only insane one here#btw can i just say i like nico because 1. paisano š§ā½ļøš¦š·šÆšÆš„ā¼ļøā¼ļø but also 2. the way in which words things is sooooo#ālets put him at 7 feet tallā GIRL

I can see some of y'all are deep in the colonial romance fantasies re silna ššš
#terrorposting#the thing about goodsir/silna is that it's good because it didn't happen#she doesn't love him like that. he's the man who (symbolically) killed her father he's her jailer he's the information leech worming#it's way into her vocabulary#he loves her like that of course. how could he not with the tales of native romances he's been spoon-fed. and she knows that he doesn't see#her as a Whole Unique Person. she's the arctic to him. she's the unyielding ice and wind that cuts at your skin and the beast haunting them#they're not made for each other it's not 'anything could've happened' - it's good because it didn't#there was clearly a draw and a connection there - but this show is EXCELLENT at illustrating how fuzzy the borderline between chemistry and#what people are truly capable of at their worst#can be#it's 'for all the love that could have been if we were both different. if the world was different. if we weren't here (but if we weren't#here we never could be)'#it's you are clearly bad for me but I cannot tear myself away#it's you bring me comfort but I wish you weren't here (I wish we both weren't here)#it's we're going through this awful thing together. despite it all despite what either of us wants we're in this together#it's not some fuckign. uwu THIS white man will treat her good. how can you say that after a single second of considering the sexualization#of native women#they're fascinating because of the situation not because it's some 'better' romance#some of y'all suck the nuance right outta things like a juice box I swear to GOD

sometimes I feel like there's a narrative on here that like. people who work and live not with their parents in their 20s are somehow privileged and its really annoying as someone with 0 family and 0 built in support system lol
#this has nothing to do with the previous post i was just reminded of some unrelated posts I've seen#like i get what people mean but i really dont consider it a privilege to have to graduate at 16 and immediately start working to pay rent#causing a severe worsening of ny physical and mental state so that i can afford to eat#and i would just like to say for the record that id never judge someone for living with their parents because im so envious lmao#just like. of the idea of having parents that would take care of you. ive always been so fascinated by that#because my sister got married at 19 to get out of the house and then depended on her husband bc she also has trouble#working due to disability. were both physically and mentally disabled so we have that in common lol#and then she had to contend with becoming entirely dependent on a man who then had incredible power over her#and now theyre divorced and she has to try to figure out how to do all this stiff at 33 that our mother never taught us#and that ive figured out on my own over the past 7 years. and i just think damn i wish we had family lol#like maybe if we even had 1 relative who cared enough to like. check in with us even?? let alone help#thats always just seemed really incredible to me. and ill never really be able to wrap my head around it

[through gritted teeth] i am so normal about this
#no no no it's just like....#the difference between just these two instances from s1 to s3 is FASCINATING to me#he's not asking in the first he's just stating a fact and he's having his belief confirmed#(by a man who's now almost definitely going to be in jail for the rest of his life -#the less extreme of the worst case options jane's had in his head but still nothing to scoff at) he's told with passion and conviction that#the revenge was worth the cost; that he doesn't regret it in the slightest; that it was 'redemptive')#and that's exactly what jane thinks that's what he's built his life around for the past - at least 5? - years#but he IS asking in the second; it's years after the first and he's not the same man he was then#he does still believe in vengeful justice i think but it's not just him that he has in mind now#there's other people to consider - people that found their way into his head and his heart (despite any of his efforts to the contrary)#and he's asking this question to a man who's just been cleared of all charges (were they murder charges? idk i need to watch that ep again)#it's not just him he's thinking of now and it's not just the most concrete costs either#it's....idk it's a shift from the objective costs to the emotional costs; it's the shift from being told to asking i'm just obsessed#(also interesting that these are both men when the only time i can think of off the top of my head where he has this kind of interaction#with a woman is the s1 country club episode? the one with liz forbes? where she breaks down and says it doesn't change a thing#that's a completely new tilt to it too that's something to consider all of this actually has no point but where else am i gonna say it)#tm

70% of my trigun thoughts are abt how plants (independent and dependant) work and what they symbolize and their relationships with other characters and the world and stuff and the implications of independent plants coming with the earth forces and what it says about how earth has progressed since SEEDS left the planet, 20% of my thoughts are "hope those guys (meryl milly vash livio ww knives) are having fun" and 10% is rotating trimax Rem Saverem around in my head at all times
#i think abt rem a lot for a character that is like important but also isnt materially present in the story much#like idk her relationship with grief and regret and the idea of her looking at the shambles of her life and having to say#'well at least i can start over since theres nothing left for me' multiple times (after alex dies and she joins seeds#and after failing to keep tesla alive and getting a 'second chance' with vash and knives) idk its just so fascinating to me#and her idea of a blank ticket to the future and what it means in terms of how vash shapes his worldview in trimax#where it seems to be about how. death stops all future potential of a person. if they die they can never get better they dont learn#they cant change and experience consequence#like smth i find fascinating in trimax is that vash doesnt kill people but he will let somebody that person has hurt punch them in the face#and he thanks ww for killing to save the colony that one time. hes not opposed to killing/consequence entirely#i think it comes down a lot to how rem behaved in the aftermath of him finding out about tesla. how the potential for things to get better#would have died with him or rem and it would have just stayed horrible#idk idk im Rambling im turing things around in my brain#also man my main complaint with the manga is i wish it focused on the dependant plants more. they clearly experienced a big emotional#struggle esp in the final volumes and i wish we got to see more of it#but also i just like the wacky small town hijinks esp in the 98 anime i love when the main cast is just goofin around. i think they should#get to goof more#trigun#.txt#Dont Look At This Post Man its EMBARRASSING nobody should let me talk abt anything#the secret special bonus tjoughts are about chronica bc she fascinates me but i cant draw her good the way i can draw meryl and rem :(
