It would never happen in a million years, but imagine Wario and Waluigi show up in the Mario Movie sequel and they’re voiced by Marc Graue in his Mario and Luigi voices.
#I could totally see waluigi wanting to mug a koopa for a flashlight#my usual headcanon voices for them are just the martinet ones but with brooklyn accents#but I also feel like this would really work#the sheer symbolism#roll the bones#super mario#hotel mario#super mario bros#wario#waluigi#marc graue#mario movie sequel

I love how the entire teen girl population’s response to {[that whole thing]} was to fall head over heels in love with {[baby]}.

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.
[id in alt text]
#legend of zelda#loz#twilight princess#loz tp#i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it#it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy#but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way#to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present#link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face#and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up#you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way#the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art#my art#project stuff#and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them#a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt#i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

Callbacks to older episodes
#the last one is kind of subtle. theyre from edas childhood bedroom lol#the hospital and amity’s ship are probably my fav references.. considering we saw at least 3 different precincts in the show it prob implies#there are way more of them all over the isles. also the sheer symbolism of the precinct being changed into a hospital fucking got me man#also amity’s ship with the little cat paws and face bc of luz making a cat face out of her abomination… I love them#HHHHHGGGGG IM GONNA MISS THIS SHOW MAN#if you notice to the right of eda’s office THERES a mural of raine and a small photo of Luz and King#there are also symbols of the titans skull replacing the emperors coven and the attention to detail is insane#they even managed to sneak one into 1 or 2 backgrounds which I did not expect#the owl house spoilers#toh spoilers#toh#the owl house#toh watching and dreaming#watching and dreaming#watching and dreaming spoilers#wad spoilers#toh finale spoilers

Tom keeping those stickers means that he forgave Greg the second he walked out of that bathroom. He could have tossed them aside before leaving apartment — they should have lost all meaning beyond those walls. But instead he held on to them for the sheer drama of claiming Greg in the most public and undeniable place possible.
#Nero claiming his Sporus#no one outside the family knows what it means#but the sheer symbolism was clear enough to anyone else watching#Tom was showing ownership of Greg#and Greg fucking loved it#they’re in love your honor#succession#succession spoilers#succession 4x10#TomGreg#tom wambsgans#greg hirsch

THE MOMENT NAOMASA REALIZED THE EXTENT OF WHO ALL MIGHT ACTUALLY IS
For refrence; a side by side comparison of how Naomasa knows All Might vs how Toshinori is when he actually lets loose
#bnha#my hero academia#yagi toshinori#naomasa tsukauchi#it was at this moment naomasa realized#toshinori isn't just a good guy who wants to do good#but an absolute freak of a man who NEEDS it#the first time in Naomasa'a entire life he's seen Toshinori's eyes actually light up and him smile out of sheer euphoric joy#and he's realizing he really never had a chance at keeping Toshinori out of the battle#he's realizing nobody ever had a chance at getting All Might to back down and accept retirement#Toshinori is awkward and soft spoken among people#for he does not know how to fit in there#he tries but he always seems a bit uncomfortable or distracted#but there- right there- Toshinori is THRIVING#Toshinori is a deranged feral individual who is damn right terrifying#naomasa is realizing that the entire time everyones been unaware how much of a monster the symbol of peace really is#because toshinori is tame#he's on their side#he's the symbol of peace and hope#it's like thinking you have a pet golden retriver#only to realize you have a dog that's built to hunt bears#and watching your once percieved golden retriever#tear into a monstrousity that had you quacking#like its the most natural and right thing in the world to them

omfggg so i spoke of the thalia and percy parallel of sacrificing themselves for grover & annabeth BUT right before that we had annabeth trying to sacrifice herself for percy and grover just like sally!!!! and just a while ago, i was talking about this section from the lightning thief:
just thinking of how percy’s mind would have immediately jumped to his mother and thought he was about to lose annabeth too, someone he was just beginning to become friends with and he NEEDED to prevent that, he needed to act differently and that in his mind was sacrificing his ownself instead (just like thalia–the one he is referencing in the excerpt above) and omg the parallel comes. full. circle.
i cannot deal with this anymore.
#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo fandom#pjo series#pjo tv show#percy pjo#pjo tv adaptation#pjo tv series#walker scobell#leah jeffries#annabeth chase#grover underwood#nothing like pjo to drive me INSANE thru its sheer symbolic sadness#don’t talk to me i need to recharge inside a coffin ASAP

I've recently been thinking about the difference between Edwin’s experience in Hell in the comics vs. the show and what it says about the differences in characterization.
(Please note that I haven't read the comics completely yet, this is really just what came to mind when re-reading the boys' story from The Sandman.)
This is how Edwin describes Hell in the comics, when his character is first introduced:
"It was just corridors.
And I was hurrying down these corridors, because I knew I was late for something, but I couldn't quite remember what.
And then I realized that there was something behind me. Something horrible. But it was always one or two bends of the corridor behind. And even though it wasn't making any noise I knew it was always there.
And if I started to run it would get me.
So I just kept walking, as fast as I could. Down these corridors. With something silently walking behind me. Something sad and lonely and terrible."
So at first glance, his torture simply seems more purely psychological here than on the show. And it sounds horrific, especially for this even younger version of him. Now, it's obviously a different version of events, two seperate canons, so it's no use to speculate if the thing that stalks comic!Edwin through Hell is the Babydoll Spider or something completely different, or if the same parameters apply. But I don't think that really matters. Because it is his reaction to this situation that truly stuck out to me:
"And if I started to run it would get me. So I just kept walking"
This Edwin knows he is going to get caught, not from experience, but he is aware of it in the way you just know certain things in your dreams sometimes. (He does describe it feeling like a nightmare, after all.) He can feel that he would get caught, and so he just keeps walking. He never tries to make a run for it, just to see what would actually happen, or to try to outrun whatever would give chase. He keeps walking, as fast as he can, but still walking.
And then we have show!Edwin. He knows he will get caught eventually from excruciating experience, over and over and over. "The moment I run it'll chase. And I can't get away from it." He knows he'll trip it off if he runs, or if he is too loud. And yet he runs. He doesn't stop running for seven decades.
#can you tell I am super normal about him?? lol#I see people talk about the amount of sheer will and tenacity it must have taken to get out of Hell & I think this showcases that even more#bc there is a comparison. an alternative#I think this also fits really well with the difference that in the comics Edwin doesn't get out of Hell on his own#but is kind of yeeted out with a bunch of other souls#(including his murderers. who also end up killing Charles. which is a whole different thing I'm a bit insane about)#also I wonder if the “something sad & lonely & terrible” stalking him is symbolic of his existence up to that point#bc that sure is how I would describe it#I know there are interpretations of the Doll Spider as a manifestation of Edwin's issues as well#Dead Boy Detectives#meta

#secret Easter egg on the scroll for you. it’s a ref to ANOTHER tiktok audio.#one which Leo took to heart. wisdom to use in every season finale.#it’s actually fun writing Japanese like that. like. the pen strokes are so nice to do.#I’ve always wanted to learn Japanese but I never had time.#also the sheer amount of symbols is really intimidating to me. i suck at memorizing things so it seems like a monumental task.#maybe someday I’ll get the nerve to officially start#tmnt#video#ivy’s scribblings#tmnt 2012#tmnt leonardo#hamburger Shonen AU

More Jedi Textposts
Except I go straight for angst this time and don’t even pretend to have some levity
Part two on its way….
#cal kestis#jedi fallen order#jedi survivor#jaro tapal#greez dritus#cere junda#the 13th battalion#saw gerrera#the iron battalion#trilla suduri#Darth Vader#if you ever get me started on the tragedy that is Cere and Cal’s miscommunication you will never get me to stop#it’s so SAD. when Cal sees her again she dies not that long after#don’t get me started on how Cal must have felt abandoned either.. just dont#HAIR SYMBOLISM!!! IT KILLS ME!!!#Cal chopped his beautiful locks off and with it the last remains of his innocence#and then he grows his hair longer again in the third game DO YOU GET ME??? HAIR LENGTH SYNONYMOUS WITH HEALING?!!#Cal getting through every traumatic day of his life with nothing but his sheer will and grit#the fourth one is entirely Cal. I don’t know where the quote is from but it’s HIM#the fifth one is NOT bashing Cere or Greez btw! just thinking about how Cal reacts to being hurt#maybe he is angry and upset for a bit but quite quickly he forgives them. it’s both a strength and something very upsetting#saw gerrera though. he knew this kid wanted to prove himself and he used that to his advantage#notice how he sent Cal on these dangerous missions and didn’t contact him ONCE. his entire crew died and nothing#this is not a Bode friendly place btw.#Cal has been afraid for his life since he was 12. do you think about that 🥰#even before then he was in a war#Trilla and Cal similarities and sibling dynamics kill me

Watching House is so much more fun now that I know it's gay.
I rewatched it like twice but because of my autistic inability to pick up on any subtext at all I missed that it is both a Sherlock adaptation and that House and Wilson are in love.
Once it was pointed out for me (once again thank you House MD tumblr) I could see it and now I'm having a much better time.
#house md#james wilson#gregory house#hilson#I KNOW IT'S OBVIOUS OKAY#But you're talking to the woman who noticed zero symbolism when reading The Catcher in the Rye in school#Once I was looking for it I was obviously able to find it#Though that's not much of an achievement given the sheer volume of gay in the show

It's crying about superman hours
#just finished red & blue#anyways a good superman story makes me so fundamentally not okay#god i love him so much. like hes the ideal hes everything#like hes the best anyone can be. and anyone can be him#im covered in tears and snot right now omg#anyways bye guys im moving to kansas#hashtag not okay#like god there is something so fundamentally desvastating to me abt a good superman story that truly no one else can match. like despite how#much i may love other characters and what they mean to me superman has a sheer symbolic power that is just truly unmatched#like what if there was a person who had the power to do almost anything. and what if he was truly deeply good

Made some art for a genderbent AU! This one is just Jack (Whose name I'm completely undecided on for this... I've got literally everybody but him it's kinda funny)
These were honestly so much fun to do :D
#For names I'm kinda torn between Jolene (as a reference to the song) and just Jane bc let's be real Jack is a basic ass name#tbh I would love to hear any thoughts on that#the sheer amount of AUs you can do this these guys is amazing#and tbh genderbenders are just fun to do#also we did a bit of a reversal on the hair length stuff#still symbolic tho!#Probably gonna make more of these guys#I also changed up the choir look a bit bc I felt like it somehow didn't fit with this version#IDK#Hopefully better image quality this time!#jack merridew#jack lotf#lotf jack#lotf#lord of the flies#lotf fanart#fanart#genderbent au#believe it or not my main guideline for pre-island Jack behavior is just Percy Weasley if he sucked more#i think it's pretty accurate#this is a massive wall of tags sorry guys
