So I just noticed this while looking for details of Ekko's outfit in episode 9. This screengrab is from when he saves Jinx, it's the best one I could take where you can see both his ears.
This is during the battle, and it was really hard to catch it because everything is going so fast in this scene, but look at his ear - he has a piercing.
Confirmed in this close-up at the end of the episode.
And if we go back to episode 7, the first thing he does when he looks at his reflection...
He's shocked to see he has piercings.
So this means he got his ears pierced not right after coming back from the alternate universe; he got them pierced AFTER saving Jinx. Do I really need to ask by who?
Y'all, they didn't just craft completely new outfits together and paint all over each other's bodies - which is something they both have a proclivity for btw (look at Ekko's coat when he find out he's the leader of the Firelights in season 1, covered with spray paint; and of course his paintings of the people he lost).
Ekko didn't just cut Jinx's hair; Jinx pierced his ears too, and it would be really hard not to interpret that as a symbol of him getting closer to being AU!Ekko, as an echo (lol) of his relationship with Powder/Jinx.
These kids, man. The obsession is real.

Also sorry it's been an entire day and I can't stop thinking about Alistair being in a dungeon and marking 47 days on the wall, deciding he's descended into madness, and feeling surprised he hasn't yet grown a beard. Only for Hendry to say he's been there for 14 hours, many of which he was asleep during. He is the biggest drama queen in the world and I love him
#that scene was just so funny#And it's such a good scene because it's so in character#you can't have a character like alistair who takes himself SO seriously as a villain and pretend he's NOT a drama queen#of COURSE he is. he has to be#he tells scary stories. He has a monster complex. He does villain monologues in his head and out loud#obviously the second he's powerless he's gonna turn into a tortured hermit who's surely already dead#anyway I simply cannot stop thinking about him and Gavin (the least dramatic man in the world)#One born to be a monster one born to die both of them trying not to be what their families marked them as OUUUUG#their dynamic. the willingness to die and kill for each other but hardly for themselves. their little jokies :(#ok anyway I'm normal now (lying)#I'm not gonna write fic about them (also lying)#all of us villains

I know I initially thought Thistlecaster for the Leverage AU (because, honestly, there's gotta be one romantic relationship in the crew, the romantic relationships in Leverage are one of my favorite parts), but honestly... Fabadaine might be where it's at.
Because there's Adaine, who was manipulated into being the world's perfect thief so her parents could profit, whose deep fascination and interest in history was warped and twisted until all she saw were artifacts that she could swipe, who had to deal with her parents leaving her to rot when she got caught after she'd sacrificed her entire childhood for their sake. And she picked herself up, told herself "never again," and taught herself to be wholly self-reliant, made sure that her past would always be a mystery, to be unpredictable and unknowable so that she could never be caught. Always the first one to leave, always the first one to betray, don't get stuck and don't slow down.
And then there's Fabian, who's been in the world of thieves his entire life, who almost certainly heard whispers of how the Abernant family really got all of their money, and who forged his entire criminal career off of two things---his family, and reading people. Knowing that going by "Seacaster" would always make people think of his father first, he changed his surname to his stepsister's, and they became legends together. He cherishes the fact that his mother taught him and Fig everything she knew, and he's honed his mind so he can pick up on everything about a person. Even someone with walls as high as Adaine's, even someone who's carefully crafted herself as an enigma, even someone who can't allow herself to let someone in... and yet, he himself hides behind a shifting array of masks, and it's so very rare that he lets someone see the truth.
The thief who had to leave her sister behind, and the grifter who wouldn't do anything without his sister. The oracle who became the best in her field to spite everything her family taught her, and the performer who became the best in his field to honor everything his family taught him. The career criminals who hide themselves from the world in two vastly different ways, but have, against all odds, found someone new who accepts the person underneath the mask.
I dunno, man, I... I think this is something.
#don't get me wrong there's still a little bit of inkblade in there#oisin is much more respectful about his flirting than chaos is and he also flirts with fabian#this does mean i will have to do my level best to figure out how to mesh some pardison and sophie x nate scenes#without sacrificing cool moments from riz and gorgug#but if fabian's the one taking the sabbatical... well then the moments where adaine fakes not being upset just write themselves#dimension 20#fantasy high#leverage#adaine abernant#fabian seacaster#fabadaine#oracool

Amphibia is proof that the best character writing tip is to make everyone at least a little bit problematic
#this is why all of my OCs are horrible people in one way or another#this goes for relationships too#lum1ty is cute and all but nothing about it ever destroyed me nearly as much as even the most tame scene between any members of#the calamity trio. and ik it's because the relationship between those 3 is what drives the story while lum1ty is a romantic subplot and all#but my objection is: that's precisely the problem#it's supposedly meant to be the fluff amongst the angst. a refuge from everything else that happens in the show#plus it's not the MAIN main relationship of the show - the main relationship is between Eda Luz and King#but... i genuinely believe divorcing lum1ty from the rest of the story does them a disservice. imagine how could it would have been if#they let amity be a little bit worse. deeper into the emperor's coven or something. with a more intense rivalry w luz#characters in toh just need more Drama imo especially luz's friends#hunter is great *because* he's Dramatic#this isn't toh bashing. i love toh. i just can't help but feel it's an example of characters being too... *nice*#cant remember who said that the only thing worth writing about was the human heart in conflict with itself and#im sorry but you can't convince me a character like gus or willow is just as much in conflict with themselves as like. idk. hop pop.

If I could write stories as quickly and vividly as I can envision them, I would have written at least three lovely novellas in the last week. Two of them this morning.
#adventures in writing#i am now optimistic about the time travel story#but to satisfy my backbrain i'm still building up and winnowing down alternate possibilities#just in case the primary story hits a snag#or if i wind up with extra time#mostly secondary world stories#the trouble is that the rare few that come together with plot and world details#want to unfold themselves like paper fans into something novella-length#when i only have time for a short story where all those details stay nicely folded up in the background#this morning i envisioned a beautifully detailed mermaid culture with a proud and complex main character#and now i've got very vivid scenes from shadowstruck playing through my head#and an idea of what the story's arc has to be#but by the time i can write them down the details will have faded#and even if they don't they'll need more love and care than i'd have time for#why can't writing be as simple as daydreaming?

I feel obligated to tell you all the undead!husband!Ghost was based on this music video. So if you liked him you might like this! Much sadder, tho.
#I REALLY wanted to write some sort of scene#where someone mutilated themselves to get out of handcuffs to save you#but I couldn’t really make it work at the time#not writing

Jujutsu Kaisen Observations #- i lost count im sorry but this is ep. 24
okay two things:
One: I really love that Gege put in a system that made it so that there was a reason for people to stand around gabbing at each other and explaining their powers and having actual conversations in the middle of their beef, because it is just. such an annoyance for a lot of people, i think, (and a pet peeve of mine personally) and that's such a fascinating and neat way to actually incorporate it into a story, and make it not a weakness, but actually a strength for the characters, as well as the plot and story itself.
and Two: Kugisaki Nobara is a fucking badass.
#a round of applause for my girl shes blinking INSANE#wow. kugisaki nobara you are absolutely crazy and my respect for you knows no bounds.#im so sorry i ever thought you were just a token Female Character in a shounen anime. youre so amazing and well-developed#*sniffles* its so beautiful#who else would let kugisaki nobara step on them? *raises hand* come on i know its not just me#gosh massive props to gege. their female characters are actually fully realized people. i think all of them are so far.#the only one i can think of that you could argue wasnt is the senpai from the start. BUT even she had clear likes and dislikes#and while she was sexualized in the one scene w the curse she was very obviously terrified and not enjoying it and was then shown#to have suffered severe trauma and fear from the experience. it was neither brushed over nor glorified.#wld still have liked to see more from that angle but. its okay. its better than what many a media have portrayed. besides when a woman is#attacked or assaulted the victim isnt usually prone to just blurting it out. and def not to some random kohai theyve only known shortly#and how do you tell your family about that? monsters? you'll be discredited and called crazy and even ur fam wont believe you.#...do u see where im going with this? the themes are writing themselves.#anyway. potential aside i still think gege's female characters are still shown greater personal and narrative respect than a TON of media#and i enjoy it very much#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#itadori yuuji#kugisaki nobara

I really want to know what's happening back at the Kei Lumenura Camp. We know that something's happening to Lydia's gem, but what's happening to Jawbone? Did the full moon change for everybody, and so is Jawbone rampaging as well?
#The adults were having so much wine and then the moon turned full and they're all drunk off their heads trying to defend themselves#Also their kids won't be back at camp because they're in the briefcase#I wanna see the scene where Aelwyn appears with Zayn to carnage#Maybe I'll write#I think I will#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhjy spoilers#fhjy

recently there’s naruto anime only fans on tiktok that keep lying about the manga because they have never touched it themselves but hear someone else say that smth happened or didn’t and just believe it and now there’s this big wave that just keeps spreading misinformation that people try to pass around as canon
#i keep seeing ppl claim Canon narusasu scenes didn’t exists and are only sp or saying sp is only at fault for the female cast#bad writing and it’s so… literally proof that anime fans just love repeating what others tell#them instead of actually reading the manga for themselves#imagine how tired i am#mine

Because I just did a Constant Gardener reread I also have to note that le Carré remains incredibly good both at writing people getting the ever-living shit kicked out of them - in all its brutal bewildering unglamorous physicality - and at writing apolitical (at least in their own minds) servants of the state developing ideological convictions:
“By night his interior world reclaimed him, as it had every night since Tessa’s death. Toiling at the marquetry desk in the window bay, doggedly writing to Ham with his bruised right hand, following the travails of Markus Lorbeer as retold by Birgit, then gingerly resuming his labor of love to Ham, Justin was conscious of a drawing sense of his own completion. If Lorbeer the penitent was in the desert, purging his guilt with a lie of locusts and wild honey, Justin too was alone with his destiny. But he was resolved. And in some dark sense purified. He had never supposed that his search would have a good end. It had never occurred to him that there could be one. To take up Tessa’s mission - to shoulder her banner and put on her courage - was purpose enough for him. She had witnessed a monstrous injustice and gone out to fight it. Too late, he too had witnessed it. Her fight was his. But when he remembered the eternal night of the black hood and smelled his own vomit, when he surveyed the systematic bruising of his body, the oval imprints of yellow and blue that ran like colored musical notes across his trunk and back and thighs, he experienced a different kind of kinship. I’m one of you. I no longer tend the roses while you murmur over your green tea. You needn’t lower your voices as I approach. I’m with you at the table, saying yes.”
#i'm always struck by how good he is at balancing the psychological experience of violence including that strange sense#of pride/relief/fresh courage & confidence at having survived and learned how to survive and discovered oneself capable of surviving#without ever buying into any kind of posturing stoicism or coolness about the event itself. idk if i'm explaining it well but like#average Person Gets Beat Up scene in a le carré novel involves a character getting kicked in the balls throwing up on themselves and crying#you know? the experience itself is always: you are ultimately a body. a strikingly fragile and vulnerable one.#and the societal norms that protect it are paper thin abstractions.#it's extremely honest and real easily top 5 authorial areas in which he absolutely never misses#john le carré#lit tag#on writing#my posts

this is a bit of a what if scenario if soap and ghost met before the practice studio and the rest can be found on ao3!
before they ever try and workshop a routine, before their first dance, before johnny ever meets simon, price tells - orders - ghost to sit in on one of gaz’s classes.
“learn his style; see if yours meshes anywhere,” he says, wrist deep in an exploded camera and ignoring ghost’s stink eye from over in the corner. he’s gotten used to it after all these years.
he’ll have to pull out something new after this if price’s decided to sink to this level of petty.
and it is pettiness, no mistake; clearly he’s poked him too much about his boy recently.
“i’ve already seen ‘is style,” he dismisses with a disgusted scoff that’s only half put on. flashy, meaningless; the personification of viral with half the sincerity. it’s a laugh that garrick accuses him of stealing routines as if half his moves aren’t prepackaged and recycled from every plastic clout chaser before him.
“videos don’t live up to an in-person demonstration; you know that,” price chides and ghost rolls his eyes. “i’ve got a client making noises about choreography and if i can’t talk ‘em out of it, you’ll have to learn how to be in the same room without bein’ at each other’s throats.”
“they want a joint routine?” ghost demands, already going tense at just the idea of it.
“they want the best of the best,” price counters. “and unfortunately, that’s you two.”
he pulls out a part, friction-shiny and jagged where it’s rubbed against another piece, and flicks it over his shoulder to be lost in the mess of the garage. “you know, that breakdancer i showed you ‘ill probably be there.”
he raises an eyebrow but ghost doesn’t give him the satisfaction of a reaction. wily old man…
he asks about one dancer once and suddenly he’s all price wants to bloody talk about. it was professional interest; just looking into a style out of his wheelhouse and obviously it made sense to look at recent competition winners.
nothing more.
“i’m not asking you to join in,” price finally allows, pulling out a file and tapping off old shavings on the edge of the toolbox. “just watch. live up to that name of yours.”
“i got better things to do than haunt your little protégé,” he scoffs, chafing at the thought of wasting any more time on kyle garrick than he already has.
“and yet here you are, sniffin’ up my ass,” he shoots back wryly and ghost shoves off the wall; ignoring his snickers.
“play nice,” price adds but he’s already out the door.
if he asks later, he can just say he didn’t hear him.
#i was gonna put the whole thing here but its 2.9k and im not doing that to yall#if you want some ghoap homoerotic dancing you should check out the rest 👀👀#this just in: dont write a dance when you dont know how to interpret movement into writing#i have no idea what im doing lmao shit is Hard#ive been working on this for months so its nice to finally be done#youd think it would be just like a fight scene since its just movement#but since i dont know how to dance and im writing people who live and breathe it its very different#its not just the actual moves themselves but how they feel#and i Dont Know How They Feel#so this part took a minute lmao#and once again i cant do my nice and neat embedded link why does tumblr hate me specifically#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#ghoap#ghostsoap#soapghost#john soap mactavish#soap cod#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#john price#captain john price#captain price#kyle gaz garrick#gaz cod#cod mw2

i don’t know if this is a lord of fortune rook-specific thing or an elf-specific thing but that random lore drop that rook was a tevinter slave was uhhhhh upsetting and disgusting
#why wasn’t this said anywhere in the character creator#why have this be a throwaway line with no relevancy to rook’s dialogue options and choices#like. that’s so major. i did not know my character was a slave. what the fuck??#this was not thought through. the optics are awful. the fact that tevinter and the crows were so watered down makes this choice extra gross#this should be HUGELY important to rook’s character and the way they interact with the sociopolitical world + mintathous#how they interact with NEVE#and the lords of fortune themselves#the writers care so little about reading between the lines of what they’re writing#they should have left the details of rook’s backstory vague because this is actually beyond disgusting#so thrown off. SO thrown off. god#anyways.txt#jasmine plays datv#da4 spoilers#*also i got this scene yesterday but i’m thinking abt it now

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it
#in a show with a title character that could be Literally Anyone and a companion sharing the lead that could be Literally Anyone#i value the little moments that set this duo apart from the rest. ESPECIALLY when it comes to returning writers like rtd/moff#fifteen and ruby felt a little too eleven/twelve and clara adjacent in boom. in both their dialogue and characterization#space babies also landed a little weird at first bc it lifted a bit from end of the world BUT the scenes that fifteen and ruby#had to themselves. like ruby getting covered in snot and fifteen laughing. or fifteen and ruby looking after the Space Babies#or fifteen going out of his way to save the monster bc that monster is the only one of its kind Just Like Him Fr#that stuff is so good and its also something we haven't seen from another nuwho doctor. the vulnerable bleeding-heart empathy#and a dynamic w a companion that is basically 'two troublemakers that just deeply love fun and adventure and getting into trouble together'#oh yeah and also the devil's chord was peak fiction because it touches on fifteen's renewed connection and love for humanity#and marries it to ruby being a musician and how music like any art is the expression of the human soul etc etc#WHAT MAKES A DOCTOR WHO STORY GOOD TO ME IS PARTLY HOW THE PREMISE TIES INTO THE DOCTOR AND COMPANION'S CHARACTERS#IT HAS TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS TAILOR MADE TO THEM. ELSE IT WONT LAND RIGHT TO ME#i hate the take that they should've saved wild blue yonder for a fifteen episode bc#the tension is hinged on how well the doctor/companion know each other. u have a level of it that u can ONLY get#with fourteen and donna who are two halves of a whole soul but have also spent much more time missing the other than knowing them#im not rewatching fifteen's eps rn until a week later when i can watch it w my qpp but#rn i still feel a stronger sense of fifteen and ruby's characters from all the rtd-written eps rather moffat#which like. i get that a lot of that is my personal dislike of moffat's writing style but still#dr who#15 era#dw spoilers
