#god being a fan of dw who loves the show (not just 1 part of it...) is ... so tiring sdlkfjds #i just saw a complaint that was like... 'ruby's story is 2 similar to clara's!!! but without the Conflict!!!'#and im like... yeah?? isnt that super neat??#that this show can do similar thing / repeat itself in slightly different ways #and that way it can be constantly subverting / talking 2 itself #like 'she feels like a clara repeat' is a compliment not a diss #bc by the time this story is finished. it can give u a different look at a *different* story that already happened #and seemed to be 'finished' and 'complete' (ie. with nothing left in it to tell)#but the Fun about dw is that it is never linear. it is never 'complete'#the story never Ends #anyway sdlkfjsdf #tagged- >#fanwank

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

#it’s just???#at the end of the day all these people want to do is draw and write their stories and share them with the world #why is death from stress the end game for so many of them #this should not be part of the package when finally deciding that this is what you want to do with your life #rambling #I still never got over miura’s passing man #and Togashi is still here but he’s been suffering from the consequences of overwork #it’s just… all so bleak #fans just need to learn to be patient if these changes are ever made and to be respectful #your fav series is not gonna die just because you can’t get it right now #I’m glad that gege does this now like he takes a break every 2-3 chapters and that’s good #this should be normalized

We didn't even get an answer, and we never will (at least it's not determination)

FIRST - PREVIOUS - NEXT

MASTERPOST (for the full series / FAQ / reference sheets)

#deltarune #undertale #utdr #crossover comic #undertale fanart #deltarune fanart #art #twin runes #twin runes comic #kris dreemurr #frisk #chara #ralsei #aaaaah chara is slowly figuring out what they are #are you onto it too?#but I'm with susie let's get on with the story already!#for those who haven't picked up on it #this comic and the last one are poking fun at the whole “what does the red soul represent” debate in the fandom #especially under the last comic i've seen people viciously arguing with one another on other platforms #or people from both camps yelling at me #fact is we know that every human soul has determination due to the log entries in the true lab and the amalgamates #some humans just can have more and others less of it #that is what chara is pointing out about kris specifically #they have a red soul but less determination than most humans #the comic ends on a non-answer because unless we get toby's word on it we will never know what it is #and that is kinda a toby fox move #we will never get his answer #all we can do is theorize #personally I like to think it's love #especially in the context of this comic series

the fact that the vi vs jinx fight was foretold from the beginning. the fact that the opening credits ends with their fight immortalized in stone, so that every episode you watch is a reminder of the immutable truth of it. the fact that every moment is building to this, that the show will culminate in this. this was always going to happen, they told us this from the beginning, and nothing anyone could do will ever change that.

#arcane #i’m dead on the ground rn #they marketed the show as ‘the story of two sisters’#and they told us how the story starts and how the story ends within the first five minutes of the pilot #vi #jinx #vi & jinx #and i mean. i always knew it would end this way. but i never thought it would end this way.#ya know?#a tragedy in the truest sense of the word #my posts #1k

man I love clara oswald. just consistently a weird little freak incapable of being normal about her relationships. has a bunch of versions of her just dying all over the place. first time she ever gets seriously properly mad onscreen, it's at someone implying she doesn't want to fuck old men. collects immortal situationships like pokemon. idolises robin hood. has the best wardrobe of any new who companion. made out with jane austen. pathological liar and unhinged adrenaline junkie who is literally out there in victorian london having the worst day of her life while daydreaming about people fucking none of you were ready for my girl

#sure I have problems with some elements of her story & writing but at the end of the day #you say clara who (insult) I say clara who (compliment). bring back clara who #love making this format of posts btw will never stop #doctor who #clara oswald #m

Au. Before the Trojan war when Ares and Ody are asked to try to get along.

(Ares and Ody are sitting awkwardly across from each other.)

Ody: So, Athena asked us to try finding what we have in common.

Ares: We both want this to end. Done. (Stands up)

Ody: Yeah, but I don't think that's what she meant....uh, I love Penelope and you love Aphrodite.

Ares: That's true. (Sits back down) Aphrodite's amazing.

Ody (with a goofy grin): Penelope just has the brightest laugh.

Ares (head in hand): Aphrodite's so smart and pretty.

(Hours later, they're kicking their feet in the air while on their stomachs)

Ody (gleefully): And then this one time, Penelope made this little snort sound!

Ares (gasping): You're kidding! Aphrodite does that too! It's adorable!

Ody: I know right!

(Penelope and Aphrodite are about to enter the room. Athena stops them.)

Athena: Don't do in there. You'll be a distraction.

Penelope (confused): There's so much giggling in that room. We wanted to see what was going on.

Athena:...bonding.

Aphrodite: Between who?

Athena (directing them both away from the room): You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

I have several friends who’ve fallen asleep listening to you read statements in Magnus. And I mocked them until I also fell asleep listening to the Magnus archives (on my re-listen though not the first time round).

Have you encountered people using the archives as bedtime stories before?

And have you ever considered reading other things (e.g the original fairytales) purely for that purpose?

I'm sorry to have to break it to you, but falling asleep to podcasts, audiobooks, etc. is extremely normal and a very common way to listen. I'm told I have a good voice for it (which I choose to take as a compliment) and while I don't have anything deliberately designed to be soporfhic, I have recorded a couple of small collections of old ghost stories that I'm told are very good for the purpose.

#I guess at the end of the day #You're never to old to be read a bedtime story

None of our hands are clean

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangshan #mianmian #The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing #He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2

#in anticipation of the incoming remake #i tried my best to imitate the SH font but #silent hill #silent hill 2 #angela #angela orosco #theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game #for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001 #and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela #not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote “difficult” but then this #actively rebuffing james for trying to be a white knight and dressing him down for it too #“i know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#“and it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you can”#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well #maybe even old videogame tropes too #“this isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than that”#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this #and in doing so showing it so much respect #there is no quick easy solution to this and you won't get one #then angela just leaves #and you never see her again #i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said #this isn't your problem to fix #this is where your part in this story ends #there's some strength in that

thinking about a world in which RR actually committed to the path he set Percy on in hoo (wherein Percy has become jaded, angry, and resentful at the gods for breaking their sworn promises, is frequently sympathizing with Luke, is getting more and more powerful, and frequently losing himself to wrath) and instead of the subsequent Percy Jackson books being about getting recommendation letters, we could have gotten a trilogy exploring a fallen hero arc for Percy (that would ultimately have a positive resolution to it.)

#to be clear I'm not asking for a tragic ending lol #I'd want this to ultimately be a happy ending for Percy #(even if it gets much worse before it gets better)#im looking for something that actually explores and expands upon the clear distress and turmoil and resentment #that Percy is BARELY able to suppress at this point #im looking for something that will actually hold the gods responsible for breaking their promises #but that would require RR to write a definitive end for Percy and co's stories #which he'll never do #so Percy will just continue to spiral and spiral and spiral #and there will never be any meaningful emotional resolution to it #I hate it here #pjo #percy jackson #mine

hey have you guys heard of that movie. yeah the obliterating masterpiece on trans identity

#i know i’m frequently dramatic but i’m being so serious when i say you have to see this movie. oh my god #as these reviews hopefully imply it will hurt. it is a viscerally hurtful movie #i’ve never been so desperate for a happy ending to a story. i wanted a happy ending for the protagonist so much it hurt #just a remarkable story about transness and identity and fear and longing and isolation #god i’m going insane #i saw the tv glow #jane schoenbrun #orating!

Something I find amazing about Dungeon Meshi is how much "restraint" Ryoko Kui shows when telling this story. It's so clearly crafted to be the best story it can be.

By that I mean how she had SO MUCH world building for this story but still kept it as contained as it needed to be, it's a story about a few characters inside one dungeon, even if the world is expansive the story isn't. And even with the amount of characters she clearly loves so much she never got side tracked as I see so many other mangas get. The world is alive, other people exist fully with their own lives, but it stays true to the story that's being told in this universe.

I think it really shines through with how the world building relevant to the story is slowly shown to us in a non expository way, that's also something I see a lot, especially in movies, just stopping everything on it's tracks so they can info dump about the world to you, but in dungeon meshi its all so organic... magic is explained because some characters are ignorant, cultural differences are shown through cultural clashes, world history is implied through relevant conversation (monster facts are info-dumped to us but even that is in character) it's all really good and I don't think I could have gotten this into it if everything was just laid out in front of me right away.

This is all to say I'm glad we have the adventurer's bible and all this extra content that didn't fit into the story but I'm glad they weren't forced into it in detriment to the storytelling.

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi thoughts #Honestly the fact everything AROUND the story exists so fully makes the focus even tastier if you ask me #I was just thinking about this cause I also fall into “wish this was in the story” but if I really think about it no I dont #another thing I really apreciate is how it stays a comedy about eating from start to end #I hear some people say theres a “turning point” in dungeon meshi but I never felt it #to me it slowly builds up but never changes it's core

Appleseed PDA montage to save you from reading endless pages of unimportant politics that don't amount to anything

also because I have nothing better to do, I'm bored, I'm moody, my gaming laptop is still broken so no BG3, and it's too late at night to start drawing after doing animation clean-up all day.
