Trapper is a very paranoid man. Due to past events, his paranoia has gone from simple anxiety to hallucinations and very bad schizophrenia. Mann Co, using this against him, has put him on the field and used his quick to shoot mental state to fight. He’s usually a quiet guy, despite his loud appearance. He can get upset quite fast though, thinking people are always after him and will always attack, trust is not easily earned and is very easily broken. Mann Co. has prescribed him medications to “keep his paranoia calm”. They don’t actually do that. The medications keep his paranoia on edge, his adrenaline always pumping, always hallucinating. He’s only allowed to skip doses on ceasefire days as to not ruin his tremendously high kill count.

Aside from his lore, I feel like Trapper’s quick thinking should let him win! He’s a very lovable guy when he's not screaming his head off. Plus look at those big ol puppy eyes!!! His game mechanics are mostly listed in his ref, and yes, Engineer was the one to build his current prosthetic!! He has an hesitant relationship with most the mercs, but he’s not fully distrusting of them. He’s so sillay he deserves a nice big cup of chocolate milk. I love him and you should too!!!

The Master regenerating into Missy and wearing skirts and doing makeup and using her "feminine wiles" (her words not mine lol) to do evil with her silly little Mary Poppins aesthetic vs the Doctor regenerating into 13 and just. Continuing to wear pants and eat dirt. I love them both so much

“Race and gender don’t matter in Piltover and Zaun!”

The writers and viewers of Arcane are real people who are not immune to biases, subconscious or not.

Calling out harmful tropes that sideline or villainize minorities in media is valid! Calling out double standards in the fandom is valid!

Even if racism and sexism don’t exist in universe, Arcane exists in the context of the real world.

I'm watching ep3 of Yuri on Ice again and wow, Viktor having Yuuri skate Eros really is so fucking wild to me. On the one hand: reasonable choice. Viktor wants Yuuri to surprise the audience. He knows Yuuri can perform like this (cough banquet cough) and he knows that Yuuri capitalizing on this potential could win him the season.

On the other hand: oh my God. Does Viktor want to torture himself.

Listen: Yurio says Viktor was contemplating choreographies for himself during the past season. So, Viktor's been thinking about Love as a theme for himself. Man is 27. Everyone's asking him if / when he'll retire. He's considering his future. He's been thinking about love. He's considering his future he's been thinking about love He takes a season off, flies to Japan -- for Yuuri--,, he has Yuuri (who ran away from Viktor's flirting in ep2!) skate Erotic love. (aka the emotion he didn't return to Viktor during Viktor's first days in Japan ((aka an emotion that Viktor's been thinking about for a while (((aka an emotion Viktor believes Yuuri can pull off (because he's SEEN Yuuri pull it off (((at the FUCKING BANQUET where he flirted on Viktor THEN DISAPPEARED))))).

TL;DR this Russian knows how to pine.

Wilson Uses Sexy Medical Ethics to Lure House Into Saving a Life.

Rewatching House and Id like to just remind everyone abt how wilson knows how to push past houses defences!!! Im referring to s2 ep2 where it opens with wilson trying to convince house to take the girls case.

convince? no. This is literally foreplay for them.

Wilson dangles this whole moral dilemma infront of House like its a shiny new toy. The second House reluctantly turns around, Wilson pounces with that smug little “fascinating, huh?” like he knows he’s already won. He’s got that look, too you know the one half-smile, eyes locked on House, and then he bites his lip like he’s trying to hold back just how pleased he is with himself for getting House to turn around.

Wilson is literally out here with an intellectual treat bag, shaking it just enough to get House’s attention, all soft-voiced like, “C’mon, you know you want it, who’s my clever little diagnostician?”

CUE HOUSES METAPHORICAL TAIL WAG

Also lets not forget that a certain local pretty boy confuses medical ethics with romantic comedy tropes, kisses 9yr old patient mid-diagnosis.

The amount of misogynoir and just all around undertones of anti blackness that was rampant around this tweet alone. Like, while there was a majority who were relatively chill and writing realistic theories and story ideas that could've come from Ekko and Mel meeting, the amount of people who were practically salivating over the thought of Ekko inciting physical violence towards Mel is disgusting. "He would hate her!" but it's been shown that he's worked with other Piltover members with little more than checking them for their roles in Zaun's plight, but still being cordially and working towards better goals. Why wouldn't the same go Mel? The only Piltover member, in a way, that Ekko actively got into a physical altercation with was Viktor! It's also gross that, aside from the fans wanting this not even genuinely caring about Ekko, it completely ignores how his character isn't even prone to fighting unless it's the last resort, how forgiving he his, how he keeps his feeling in check for the larger goal. Him and Mel would have worked great together, especially considering she did advocate Zaun and nonviolent methods to prevent war as much as possible. While, yes, Mel could be criticized for her negligence towards Zaun, she is one of the very few members of the council to still in the end actively work to create change. Her and Ekko meeting could've worked out if the writing for Arcane s2 was done right, and fandom wasn't so racist.

OUGGHHHH UR RARIJACK IS SO (explodes intio confetti with joy )

have uou considered: them trying on outfits they picked for each other?

or or or

Rarity washing and braiding AJs hair

or

Them celebrating the others birthday, trying to figure out what to get them and surprising them n all that

or them baking together and wgatever Ensues out of that

ANYWAYS KEEP DOIN YO THANG THEY R SO CUTE ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, I have lots of ideas for them.

Because I'm drawing them pre/early-relationship, I have a lot of stuff I haven't gotten to yet. I think, despite Rarity falling in love first, AJ is the most outwardly and obviously in love. Like, girl is in LOVE with her wife. The type to take off her jacket and put it over a puddle so her wife can cross. The type to walk around with hearts popping over her head.

Something I definitely wanna get around to drawing is how they were when Rarity first moved to Ponyville, because they would've hated each other, lol. AJ going from, "I can't stand her fake ass. 😒" to, "Yes Miss Rarity. Anything you want, Miss Rarity. 🥴" Or Rarity going from, "What a big, dirty brute. 😡" to "What a big, dirty brute. 🥵"

Anyways, later one comic idea I had for when they eventually get married is Rarity comes home to catch AJ trying to surprise her with a dinner. But things are going awry because AJ is so stressed and nervous about making everything perfect, and she even burns her apple pie. She has a bit of a breakdown because she feels she can't do anything right like she's supposed to anymore, and Rarity comforts her and tells her, why don't they bake the pie together? The comic ends with the two kneading dough together.
