recently getting more interested in darkrai things and the possibilities
#pmd2#my art#celebi#grovyle#dusknoir#darkrai#futuretrioshipping#actaeonshipping#man we need to put grovyle and darkrai int he same room some day theyre gonna end at each other's throats#also i know grovyle and celebi are too determined to be swayed by darkrai like partner almost was#but the idea of them immediately being willing to sacrifice themselves again was funny to me ewfiuiwfnoeq

the best characters are ones that suffer from a chronic case of Dramatic Cunt Syndrome
#hey please don’t tag this as hp characters it makes me very uncomfortable#and if you Really feel like you need to please just block me after#elli rambles#tropes#love how I keep making posts like this. bestie maybe it’s time to acknowledge being a ‘good’ character isn’t determined by#fitting into tropes…..#(<- will continue to make posts like this)#breached containment (derogatory)

I do actually think one of the big issues with radical feminism is that if you can convince yourself that one single group of people is born with evil baked into their DNA you can eventually be made to believe that of more people who have far less privilege and protection. Which is like a huge radfem recruitment method ofc first they get you to believe men suck and then it's asexuals and aromantics and then bisexuals in m/f relationships and then bisexuals in general and then pansexuals and polyam people and then gnc men and intersex people(who are somehow all considered men) then "cringe" trans people and then all trans people.
This is also my beef with people who act like having a personality disorder like npd or aspd makes you inherently a bad person or take astrology so seriously they believe being born under the wrong stars makes you untrustworthy, like any ideology that seriously bases it's core beliefs on the idea that a human can be born in such a way that makes them inherently a bad person and there is simply nothing to be done to change this is one you should run the fuck away from. Even if the people they are attacking are men, honestly fuck it especially if the people they target are men, because it's clearly so fucking easy to sell women and queer people on that bullshit and legit once you believe one group is malicious and oppressive by birth it's SO easy to get you to believe it about other groups too.
Honestly I genuinely think a lot of people who buy into this straight up don't believe humans have free will and it's super fucking weird. Anyone can decide to be evil and anyone can decide to be good. It's a decision, and sometimes the scales are weighted against you for any number of reasons, but the way you were born is NEVER one of them.
#not to pull a fucking pokemon quote but some of y'all were clearly not listening when mewtwo said#“the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are”#no one is born evil#not a single fucking person on this earth was born evil#dehumanization is the tool of the enemy we do not need it and will not use it#and as someone who grew up with a grandmother who straight up decided I was born evil and wrong lemme tell ya#it helps no one to write off anyone based on immutable traits they cannot control#it's the opposite of progress

Quick reminder that you are definitely someone's favorite artist, writer, etc.
Doesn't matter what you think about your own art, it’s not gonna stop others from loving it. Don’t compare yourself to better artists, just be happy for them, acknowledge that the worked hard to get where they are now, and learn from them so you can get your art to where you want it to be.
#katlyn talks#something I need to tell myself more#also don’t look at or worry about the number of likes or reblogs#they don’t determine the quality of the artwork

There’s not enough people talking about how important Stephanie is to Damian’s growth pre-Flashpoint.
Bruce had seen Damian as a beast to be tamed, Tim sees him as a ticking time bomb, and Dick is far better with him but he’s still an authority figure for Damian to combat with. But then he meets Stephanie, a college-aged girl who nobody trusts and he bullies her relentlessly and becomes inseparable from her.
She doesn’t interact with him based on his past, but on what she can see. This 10 year old just threatened to kill her? Wow he doesn’t get outside much. He’s not old enough to have seen Gremlins. What do you MEAN you’ve never been inside a bouncy house before we are fixing that immediately.
They are like cousins to each other. They poke fun at each other for being lame and stupid and Dick has to tell them both to shut up. She doesn’t see him as a project to be molded and redeemed, he’s just a kid with a crappy childhood like her and if he’s nice to her for 5 seconds she’ll do something with him to let him feel like a kid. And he doesn’t look at her and see a liability or a failure or a lost cause, like everyone she’s ever interacted with does. When he’s awful to her, it’s because he’s an obnoxious preteen boy.
And then you get the “there’s room in our line of work for hope, too” scene. Because Damian has gotten to know Steph and he can’t fathom why she’s here. She obviously has had to deal with crap and is still working through being kept on a leash by Nightwing and Oracle, but she isn’t broken like the rest of them are. Damian is surrounded by people who were molded and shaped and torn down and broken to become the monoliths that they are, and then there’s this girl who seems so at peace with herself and is constantly making quips, and it’s so foreign to him.
And she tells him that she’s in his world because she believes people are worth fighting for.
#Batman#damian wayne#stephanie brown#robin dc#batgirl#batgirl (2009)#Batfam#Batfamily#dc comics#batman meta#batgirl (2009) is my favorite comic I’ve ever read can you tell#I just love how Stephanie and Damian are so removed from everything when they’re together that there isn’t any hierarchy between them#they each have some sort of hierarchy and Expectation around literally everyone else#but with each other they’re just peers#they can work together and fight together#they can hate each other and be bickering the entire time#but they evaluate each other based on what they see#Damian sees a goofy but determined woman who doesn’t look at him like he needs fixing#and Stephanie sees a violent kid who clearly hasn’t had a childhood but is trustworthy in a fight#and they just. interact based on those factors and nothing else#and it’s so beautiful for them both#and you have the whole ‘fatgirl’ and ‘when did you start stuffing your suit’ comments from Damian that suck#but weirdly I find it comforting because it implies to me that Damian is feeling some stuff that’ll tie into puberty#and he lets himself (albeit in a very uncomfortable and harmful way) feel those emotions and express them to Steph#like it’s very stupid and so early 2000s and frustrating#but I think it’s a little charming how it’s another example of Stephanie sort of being a vessel for Damian to experience normal feelings#even if he ends up being very Damian about it

Hero YJH x Demon King KDJ pt.1 || pt.2 || pt.3 Index || Next Chapter
Thought I could wrap this silly AU up in two parts, but instead ended up with so many ideas, I could make a multi volume doujin out of it in tears this was supposed to be a fun detour.
Anyway more notes I came up with while drawing:
As YJH alldued to, the demons are basically reborn humans, who have been wronged in some form or another. So, the demons are basically a man made evil of sorts. Their resentment turns into energy which then give their bodies new life.
Demon also all have pointed ears, except KDJ. Whether that's because he's their king or some other reason, is not known. (but to me mwahaha)
more to characterisation in planned characterisation in part 3
#orv#joongdok#JD fantasy AU#I'll determine whether I commit to drawing a multi volume doujin comic on the reception + my mood#i already have other projects in mind too so I need to determine a lost of priority#also if you wonder abotu the sudden jump in quality#yeah tahts when i decided to go from messy jumbled thoughts into something more lmao

setting pessimism aside to daydream about my ideal bucktommy makeup scenario and i just... keep oscillating between buck extending an olive branch and tommy reaching out first. there's merit in both. yes i'd love for buck to discard passivity and fight for this salvageable relationship — for buck to look tommy straight in the eyes and tell him that his sharp edges and his vulnerable insides don't make him any less deserving of love. that he's not blinded by the excitement of novelty or misguided admiration — even without the full picture, buck has seen enough pieces of the puzzle that makes up tommy's whole to know that he loves the entirety of him, unspoken faults and past sins included. that buck can't guarantee forever but he sure as hell can try to build the sturdy foundation of a shared life based on the hope for more. that sometimes you just luck out on the first draw and there's nothing wrong with good fortune.
but it would also be extremely healing if tommy knocked on buck's door to chase after his own second chance. to say "i want you more than i'm scared of hurting" when buck asks him what's changed in 4 months — because tommy would rather live with scars than be haunted by regrets and what-ifs. because buck is worth the risk of never recovering from having loved him
#bucktommy#the more i think about it the more partial i am to the second option. i need them to run into each other at a scene#working together is awkward and painful and there's simmering anger too behind the social niceties and necessary professionalism#but it eventually leads to a honest discussion during which explanations and due apologies are given#following their talk it seems like that chapter of buck's love life is forever closed. after all he now has something that resembles#closure. they part way with a bittersweet final-sounding see you around evan. i hope you find the happiness you deserve.#and buck is resigned. it's time to bid goodbye to the first man he loved#except there's a knock at buck's door later that night. and tommy's standing at the other side. he looks#anxious yet determined and it's such a strange expression on his face — uncharacteristically nervous and already braced for impact#a man walking towards a pointed knife hoping he's welcomed with absolution and not a stab#and we circle right back to the can we talk? question that started it all.#i would like to see it gif#rima.txt

Cocoapowder is so funny to me because I can DISTINCTLY imagine the horror on Chara's face as they realize they not only caught feelings (something I'm sure they're scared of already) but for Clover of all people (embarrassing) (they'd prefer to just die again) and I appreciate you helping me realize this with your art
oh this is so real
cocoapowder in any context is a funny ship dynamic to think about, you got this kid that has convinced themselves all their life that humans are the worst thing to ever happen
and then you get this other kid, who's love for humanity shows
i feel like chara would be throughly in denial at first, since by catching feelings for clover their whole world view falls appart, this whole narrative they'd created about humans being all rotten to the core was wrong
they're wrong about humanity, thus, they're wrong about themselves
accepting they have feelings for clover(or any human for that matter) is accepting there's good in them
anyway here ya go have a whole comic about this LMAOOO
#undertale#undertale yellow#cocoapowder ship#chara#clover uty#chara x clover#clownboo art!!!#clownboo rants#clownboo editing here hi just forgot to add smthing#“I dont need that fancy determination of yours”#they say as they yap about not giving up on chara#they're determined to make chara have achange of heart#this kid might be a bit stoopid

Julian would take a bullet for Garak because thats just a fundamental part of who he is as a person and I think you could count on one hand the amount of people he WOULDNT take a bullet for. Garak would take a bullet for Julian and it would be entirely because he's so hopelessly and desperately in love with him and he would be fucking MORTIFIED about it. Garak gets shot for Julian's sake and when he wakes up later he's genuinely mad that he survived because now he has to live with the mortification of having gotten shot for this goddamn doctor for the rest of his life
#star trek: ds9#julian bashir#elim garak#otp: I need to know that someone forgives me#Julian doesnt even have to like a person to take a shot for them he's just that determined to protect people always#im fully convinced he'd take a shot for Kai Winn#I think the only people he WOULDNT protect would be like. Luther Sloan and Gul Dukat#Garak on the other hand would ONLY do it for Julian and he HATES it#there's no beautiful angsty 'for you my dear anythin'g moment#Garak is lying there actively bleeding thinking#'god damnit. god fucking damnit. look where sentiment got you. you fucking idiot.'

the cato to annie pipeline is still real to me btw and something i think about because katniss is here thinking about both of them like "wow they are mentally ill" except she's legitimately scared of one and sees the other as docile/meek/an extension of her boyfriend/odd/non-threatening.
but what katniss doesn't seem to remember is annie came from a career district so not only could annie have easily been (and probably was) raised with a similar rhetoric/propaganda/mindset as cato but she also could have terrified the other kids in her arena the same way he did. they became trained killers but they're both exposed to the harsh realities of the arena, watch someone they care about die in a horrifically violent way, and lose themselves/their minds/what they were raised to believe in because of it
#and it's so interesting to think about what it would've been like if Cato won#because annie presumably resigned herself to death after her district partner got beheaded#yet even though cato became disillusioned with the Games after clove died you could tell in the book he was still determined to live#if only out of sheer survival instinct#it's like having an opposing mirror reflection in each other#no one wants to “deal with” annie so the Capitol writes her off as meek and unhinged and far gone#erratic and inarticulate and can't cope on her own (aka how fandom sees her)#but cato's a classic strong d2 victor and they need that image so instead of writing him off like with annie#the Capitol invents a narrative of “Oh he's like this bc he's a monstrous beast/lunatic”#meanwhile they both literally are just traumatised and need real help alsjfkrk#okay ignore me I'll go to bed#cato hadley#annie cresta#cato thg#thg cato#thg careers#the hunger games#anna speaks#thg

It's time we send our star pupil back to school.
By the way, the last time Lilith wore this suit. Caleb really did perform a miracle.
Previous / Next
Helena: Are you guys serious?
Caleb: I told Lilith it was too much, but she insisted.
Lilith: As though either of you have got anything better to do while we wait this freak October snow storm out.
Helena: Where did you even find that?
Lilith: [gesturing toward blackboard] Oh, this old thing? It was just lying around!
Now, don’t talk back. I’m the professor and you’re the student. You can tell because I put on my smartest suit.
Caleb: From which I scrubbed all the blood stains.
Lilith: [patronizingly] And you did such an admirable job.
Caleb: Did you steal that from my room?
Lilith: Well, someone should make use of it! [clears throat] Enough dawdling! Helena, I do hope you’re prepared to take notes.
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 story#sims 4 story#story: hzid#lilith vatore#caleb vatore#helena zhao#drusilla the cat#i don't have a thing finished beyond this but the world sucks and we need things to remind us why it doesn't#or at least let us forget that for a minute#sometimes i think the determination to finish this story is the only thing keeping me going#so here it is even though i said i was waiting#💜💜💜
