#the strong must protect the sweet. . .

[eorzeashan]

so Eight met Amity, and was pleasantly surprised that the dialogue choice is different if you defected/are a double agent from the Empire. Also Amity is really cute. Faceless, check. Curious and dedicated to his own convictions, check. Similar war stories, check.

Amity: oh... my journey pales to yours... I hope I do not have to fight. I'm sure you understand this as we have both taken lives and seen both sides. I travel to understand the Force. I'm sorry but I need you to escort-

Eight:

I will protect you.

I love so much that “Bepo is Law’s weakness” is arguably canon. It’s not “Law’s weakness is cute things” like some ppl in fandom try to say since Law is pretty visibly unaffected by Chopper, little kids, all the standard “cute things” in OP. It’s literally just Bepo and his cuteness that has an effect on Law, and we see it in reaction to Bepo going “🥺” when Bepo was sick, letting Bepo hug him all the time, taking Bepo to Uta concert only bc he knows Bepo wants to go, etc. LawBepo is such a perfect ship, massively underrated ship frfr 🩷🩷🩷🩷

there is this very good compilation pic from @/daily_trafalgar on twitter with a caption "law's reaction to cute things"

you mean barely a reaction

and then there is Bepo

Bepo is special he is spoiled and coddled and can do anything he wants with barely a word from Law. i do think Law is good with kids but Bepo is a grown man - his best friend

and as much as some lawbepo non-shippers want to see them as parent and child -you dont see someone YOU grew up with. YOU were children at the same time with - and grew up alongside each other as a CHILD. You just don't see them as that, it's nonsense. Yes he is like law's little brother but not a child

(i call him Law's baby like 20 times a day but that's in a way that a cute girlfriend is "baby")

Saying all this to say that "oh Law is weak to Bepo's cuteness because he is like Law's baby" (implying child) or even worse = when people call him a pet They grew up together - 4 year difference is forgotten about -you are peers - yes of course Bepo is both subordinate and looks up to Law as an stronger smarter leader etc. but thats not a parental dynamic at all.

its a very serious, rational and collected guy and his favorite guy who he spoils in big and little ways and have been spoiling him their whole lives...

i love that Law saved Bepo from getting his ass beat and dying alone and brought him home and they just stayed in that dynamic their whole life and both became adults but this "Bepo is precious and weak af and i love him" pretty much didn't change.

and Bepo is so comfortable with it. novel was Law focused so it never gave Bepo an "I'LL TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO PROTECT ME ALL THE TIME I CAN HOLD MY OWN" arc - and that would make sense for his character if there was time/desire to focus on him but because of those constraints Bepo bypassed that and i kinda love it? (you can call it another of many copes of mine idc) but him NOT having a standart "little brother" arc is awesome, Bepo is very comfortable in his role and when he speaks its always

"I'll do my best for you and help where i can because you are so amazing" there is zero of his own ego. He is comfortable in his "lower rank" role, he doesn't strive to be Law's equal he knows he can't be! Law san is the greatest!!

Law is happy with it too because he is a protector in nature (look at his bigass crew ;-;♥) so bepo being HAPPY to be protected makes him happy too. It makes Law feel strong and good, it plays on his ego in a positive way being looked up to and sought out as a protector - yes it's pressure (that Bepo does his best to elevate) but it's not negative and Law takes it happily, it's good to feel needed. And it all started with Bepo and they preserved that - Law is always strong and cool leader and protector and Bepo is always UUUU CAPTAIN 🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭

they are the best and i love them so much it's such a special dynamic and it makes Law's character so much better

gonna rant a little bit

I hate watching the friends I've made here who come seeking a safe space to explore their interests and kinks slowly become burnt out and unable to express themselves freely because they constantly have to contend with people incessantly ignoring their boundaries, preferences, and just generally treating them as less than a human deserving equal consideration and respect. if you try to engage with people in nsfw conversation (especially invoking kink) without any form of a polite conversation involving at least implicit consent to broach those topics then you are the problem, and not only that, you are a cancer to the community of people here who just want to have fun and be respectful of each other while exploring shared interests. if someone tells you they don't want to be spoken to a certain way then respect that. if you can't then you don't belong here and you aren't welcome.

I swear I'm going to have to start being heavy-handed with the block button because I refuse for my blog to be an avenue for creeps to seek out my mutuals and anyone engaging with my posts to harass and disrespect them.

Friendly reminder that Billy Wirth is so incredibly kind and if anyone hurts this man, I'll fight them 😇

Sometimes I remember that Sonya is taller than Liu Kang and I like to think that even though she would never admit it she actively defends him when people tease him and I dont know Im insane dont touch me

[beliscary]

ok but like the implications... the rest of the dragoons stay and fight in ran'dellah. they probably returned both out of loyalty and bc they all have their own atonement to seek tbh. they chose to follow dion (or in his place, his will) again even if it means more battle and the possibility of their deaths. he will honor that decision. NOT his baby though!!!!!! terence doesn't get to dig a grave of duty and contrition!!!! he gets a future, bye!!!!!!!

the way Jean feels about the Ravens is really mimicked in the way he feels about exy. it's all he has, he pours his soul into understanding it, he has no other support structure holding him up, he loved it once, he hates and resents it, its trapping him, he still loves it.

I expected his feelings towards both to be so simply hateful and bitter and yet they're so enmeshed with who he is as a person and he cares about them so much despite the harm they've done him.

like with exy, the game is inherently violent but exponentially more so on the Ravens. even standing still in front of Jeremy, Jean is always going for a trip or a painful takeaway, not even considering that exy doesnt have to break people down. but he still takes pride in the sport and being so good at it and knowing it inside and out. and part of that is necessity but part is just his enjoyment. he was a little kid once that was fascinated with the game. it didn't always just hurt.

and with the Ravens, all of them are violent but some of them are also kind to him and he learned all about them and what they care about and who they love and wants to protect them, even from the knowledge that he's being hurt. "they didn't know." they all betray him and turn a blind eye but theyre all he has and theyre the only constant in his life. he wants to protect them. even from their own grief and regret.

“I hate them,” Jean said, and left. It was the cold hard truth; it was a blatant lie.

He loved the Ravens, he hated them, he wished he’d never met them.

"I was under the impression you and the Ravens hated each other.” “We do,” Jean said. “We don’t. We are Ravens.”

I love the detail in your latest Mr. L update of Mario holding Luigi's hand! Plus the whole gang's immediate protective stance

Thank you! I don't know how canon it is that team Mario is essentially The Luigi Protection Squad, but until I see evidence otherwise it's canon to me.

How most ppl see Cassius:

How Lyria sees him:

woah. they are best friends!

[rapscallion-rumble]

Baragon and Biollante

Felt like drawing something cute with two characters that complete opposites. Baragon is like a puppy, while Biollante is a demonic rose.

They probably expected people to hate helpy like they did balloon boy… but they were wrong!!!

I love how all y’all agree that Helpy deserves better xD literally my inbox rn and I’m with you guys 💖💖💖

last night I had a dream that involved a brief but sweet scene

the rest of the dream was fuzzy, but I remember going into Mezo's room (and apparently in the dream he was my boyfriend, which is, yes???)

and he was asleep and so I climbed into bed and wrapped my arms around him to hold him, like, yknow to cuddle up and sleep in bed with him

... but he accidentally rolled out of bed because he was startled, not used to being held because of the awkwardness of his arms making it difficult to position himself into being held rather than holding someone else

and he was like "what are you doing???" and I swear to God my stubborn ass said it exactly like this, "trying to hold you, babe, now get back over here and let me!!"

he was so embarrassed and flustered and UGHHHH LET ME CUDDLE HIM AND SHOW HIM IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A GAME OF TWISTER TO ACCOMPLISH

he's so cute and just doesn't get enough attention <3

okay but imagine if niko starts tearing up at some point during this match

all of ubers (italians included) would menacingly turn towards the bastard players

"so they have chosen... death"

I hope Isagi loses and starts crying and they have a re-do of this scene but in reversed roles
