[yourlocalderp]

with all the mm! ace and whit stuff going on i decided to draw this while half conscious and no cohesive plot

also designs belong to @acethehorseishere and @talkativeanonymous respectfully go look at their art and join us in the brainrot

too many ass shots good for fanservice but bad rating wise

imagine if all the masterminds had that monokuma mindset from the dr1 anime like you can excuse killing people off but not slutty slut slut stuff

oh yeah bonus doodle

they're so silly

I had the worst idea. And with that, I mean one of my usual ideas about Descendants that can explain things and make me sad at the same time.

Belle is dead.

No, okay, that's not canon, or it may be in a certain way, just listen to me for a second.

She doesn't make sense, both she and Beast act and reason in ways that have nothing to do with their cartoon (or even live-action) counterparts, that's easy to see.

Now, we can retcon the whole franchise and simply make her disappear, let's say she died when Ben was little (just like Adam's mother in the live-action...) and Beast half-repeated history out of grief (bad temper, seclusion, not listening to anyone...), so he went a little back on his worst habits and let Fairy Godmother and Leah make all sort of important decisions in his place. See, fixed. Disney should hire me lol.

Or, for a more complicated theory: the one we see isn't the real Belle. Because she died and no one really knows save for the one(s) who brought her back from the dead. But it's notorious that people who come back from death don't quite get back right, no? So, Belle is different because she can't be the same.

Even more complicated? Hell yeah. See, in some versions of the tale, Belle is a changeling, a fairy child left in the cradle of the real youngest daughter of the merchant in place of his almost-dead one. (in some other versions she's the daughter of the merchant with a fairy, sometimes the mom is the very fairy who cursed the Beast, but that's not what we're talking about here). So, what if the real Belle is the one we see in Descendants? Think about it: fairy Belle dies but baby Prince Ben needs a mom, the kingdom needs a High Queen, and the Beast will go out of his mind if he loses the love of his life and Auradon isn't stable enough for that, so the fairies simply switch them back again, the human Belle with the changeling. No one sees the difference, or they call it postpartum stress or whatever, but she is different in all those subtle ways.

Ben never finds out.

(Well, until Mal figures it out somehow. Or Hades, very likely for the second one)

The last thing I'll say, and I'm saying it because it applies broadly- is that there is very rarely a perfect victim OR evil mastermind and everyone needs to get better at recognizing and responding to that fact. Victims of legitimate crimes or horrible acts can be aggressive, or bitter, or biased or a dozen things that make them 'unappealing' to listen too. They can have willfully exposed themselves to content or been in circles they really shouldn't have. They could have been given warning signs that they missed or outright ignored. They might exaggerate or misremember their claims. That does not mean they are no longer victims. If you completely missed the red flags and were taken advantage of- you were still taken advantage of. If you exposed yourself to harmful content that was upsetting or distressing, you were ultimately still exposed to harmful content. Maybe it is "your fault" for being there, but you were still there and it still happened. Especially in terms of online, its just shockingly very easy to end up in places where you are in danger of harm- and its shockingly easy to not notice that you may have put yourself in that position until its too late. If you want to be supportive of victims, you need to recognize that very often victims did things that were inappropriate themselves, put themselves in harmful situations, didn't back out when they should have, missed "obvious" signs... and are still a victim in the end. Likewise, abuse ranges from the intentional to the neglectful. Sometimes an abuser can even do both at once. People do harmful things completely on accident- even repeatedly. It can be mental illness or stress, it can be a dozen things- but yes sometimes people have patterns of behavior that are harmful and destructive that they either aren't aware of, in denial of, or don't get how bad they are about it. That does not erase the harm those behaviors cause. If you handle a situation poorly, it could just be that you handled it poorly- you didn't think through your actions or their implications. But from the receiving end, it doesn't matter how accidental it was, its going to often read as intentional, or a pattern, or whatever. And ultimately the harm is still done regardless of what it was. There is a world of difference between harm done intentionally and harm done through stupidity, neglect, or plain old mistake- but it not always easy to identify which is which- and harm is still done in the end. Sometimes people are harmed because someone saw an opportunity to do so, and sometimes they're harmed because no one stopped to question if it was even a risk. Both of those still ultimately result in someone getting hurt. The point of this is that if you are ever going to analyze situations critically you can not be looking for just "the good one" and "the bad one". You can't just weigh initial impressions on a scale and hope one side tips further and call it a day. Believing victims doesn't mean you need to throw caution to the wind, but likewise bad actors or misinformation doesn't mean your reaction should be that there couldn't possibly be victims. Be very mindful of how you interact in situations where someone was potentially hurt. Being 'critical' can easily boil over into disregard for harm- both the harm the involved might have done to each other and the harm you yourself do in how you respond to it.

He'll just start over huh?? *shaking bc it's all coming to together*

I don't think it ment he'd transfer All for One to the closest hero but rather use one of his 'spares' to take another route in his plan.

We keep getting reminded of Chisaki. His quirk being the foundation of Decay, Deku losing his arms, him showing up in Shigaraki's mind-place. I think this is intentional on Horikoshi's part, trying to stir up some wonder on where Chisaki is and why he just sorta disappeared.

Chisaki's a bit of a mystery, we don't know who his true parents are, we don't know how he ended up in the doctor's facility, or how Afo knew he was another soul tainted by the unjust hero system.

"That one boy" I'll be honest, this could easily be about Dabi. But why not say "Dabi", the doctor was already talking about him using his name. That whole dialog sorta feels like a warning about another. (I put the whole panel for y'all to interpret yourself if you wanna. First of three⬇️) Not to mention the doctor's wording, "didn't buy what we were selling", Kai's whole arc was about getting people to buy what he was selling.

Not to mention this checks out with Chisaki's personality. He's known to be deviant like Dabi, to go off and do what he thinks is best despite what others say. A lot of people speculate that Kai ran away from the doctor's facility, and that's when the yakuza boss found him. The yakuza boss and crime facility that's said to be the only thing he likes, and he lost it all because he believed he knew better.

Now stay with me on this one...

Chisaki needed to lose his independent personality (or, in better terms, Afo needed Chisaki to lose his independent personality). Kai needed to go through and lose everything he valued because of this independent behavior so he would grow to hate and shun that part of himself. This would make him vulnerable to someone's words; "Let me lead you", "You never do anything right yourself", "You need guidance, I can guide you".

If/once Chisaki finds out the boss is dead and it's naturally all his fault, that'll be his true breaking point and when he's at his most vulnerable. I've literally been saying this for years, Kai is the perfect target for Afo's fresh start.

Horikoshi's been talking about a sequel, who knows if he'll actually make it or how long it'll be when he does. But I really hope that he'll up the rating so his managers will let him go more indepth with his villains like he said he wanted to.😭

i don't really think that the hat itself was a sort of trigger to let gl!sneeg see what was actually going on, but it was all of the "slime" that was on the hat.

like, almost the entirety of the bottom of the hat is SOAKED in "slime" (cause it was literally inside of gl!charlie), and the sensation of a super bloody cap being suddenly placed on your head like it's nothing must've triggered something in gl!sneeg's mind.

maybe he was easily snapped back into reality like that because his mind isnt being physically interfered with like gl!ranboo's is.

and then with sneeg saying "i'm not really a hat guy." before they put the "slime" cap on him, vs having a new hat placed on him, and taking it off immediately to seemingly adjust it seeing as he's still wearing it in the next shot.

maybe the new hat symbolizes something, maybe it has the same sort of control power that ranboo's mask does, or maybe im just looking too deep into it

at the end of the day, WATCH GENERATION LOSS!!!! it's such a cool show and ranboo seriously outdid himself with this entire project <3 so proud of them

[citricjoy]

tell me why kyles character on veronica mars has the most bizarre fucking villians wiki entry… you’re telling me he did all THAT… while looking like THAT?……

[denebolablack]

They, in fact, wanted to kiss him so bad.

They were just mad because Tony was being his reckless self in the middle of a fucking battle.

Again.

Tony DID NOT expect to be kiss after his comment.

But he was, indeed, kissed.

Very hard.

Multiple times.

I think he was the only one who didn't see that coming.

Do you guys think this is is the dude The Orphan Queen overthrew as ruler after she dobbed in Aaravos?

[craacked-splatters]

@imagionationstation ur killing me with ur separated au btw

This au man🥺 I can't help but think of lil baby Dee alone and scared in the claws of Kraang. Crying in some creepy ass lab, teeny tiny hands wiping away his tears and blood bcuz no one else will. Memories of a family of warmth and home buried and replaced with cold metal limbs and an alien race who could not care any less about him besides experimentation. Like wtf

Anyways u an read this lovely fic right here! It may be scrapped but it doesn't stop my brain from welcoming it into its residence.

Bonus doodads bcuz I'm indecisive!!

also why he look like that

[nerds-yearbook]

The Dark Phoenix was introduced in The Uncanny X-Men 134# as Jean Grey was made the Black Queen by the Hellfire Club. It had a cover date of June, 1980. She was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. ("Too Late, the Heroes!", The Uncanny X-Men 134#, Marvel Comic Event)

Not everyone being flabbergasted that Max did indeed not write the comment under Kellys post himself....I am pretty sure he hasnt touched his puplic account in a million years. I thought we all knew he does not write his own captions and sorts?

They most likely had a meeting with their social media managers talked about what message they wanted to convey and how to word it and that was it

+ God forbid a man could even be suspected of publicly supporting his partner

[sozzledjuja]

some food for thought

something i haven't seen anyone talk about is that one scene with Gramorr and the twins in the beggining of Crowning Glory Pt 1

look at this

THE FORESHADOWING

this goes along with my theory that Banes, at this point, was already calculating an alternative "puppet" in case Gramorr ended up being defeated.

also not to be dramatic or read too much into stuff, again this is purely speculative but-

ahem- surely Banes couldn't have had anything to do with what happened to Mephisto, could he?
