#their fight scene lives in my head rent free

[doodler16]

Honestly Lute gives me mixed feelings. Part of me wants to see her downfall 'cus her character is that one arrogant asshole in your life you just reaaally wanted to punch (or maybe it's just me). Other part of me knows that she needs help that nobody is giving her. Her and Pentious' cases makes me wonder how the hell Heaven deals with all new souls who had rough lives and traumatizing deaths and are in desperate need for therapy, Emily just throws glitter at them???

Leaks also made me wonder Lute's overall popularity. I could see that she and Adam were "the school bullies" of Heaven that nobody really liked (Adam was liked before he became the canon dickhead), and now that he's gone, they don't really wanna deal with her. But she was probably too obsessed with Adam and demon killing to care.

It be like that. Lute is a self righteous person. Because of this whole extermination situation and by extension orbiting around Adam 24/7, she truly believes that demons are scum and should die. So far, she hasn’t questioned her ideals and continues to fight battle. It’s gotten so bad that Adam be living rent free in her head.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if Lute’s character arc is purposefully static to parallel Vaggie. Emily is supposed to make people in Heaven, but when watching the leaks she does a terrible job with Sir Pentious. It’s like the equivalent of someone falling down and they get a huge amount skin cut off and instead of your friend taking you to actual medical help. They just give you a small bandage and call it a day. 💀

It finally takes Emily to the last minute of the song to read the room. In my personal opinion, I believe Lute is mostly popular because of her dynamic with Adam. I’m sure there are some people who genuinely do like Lute for her personality, singing, and potential.

In season 1, Lute doesn’t do much like majority of the Hazbin women. Episode 8 is definitely the most she has done and that’s saying a lot because all she did was kill dazzle, fight Vaggie, and have a MCU credit scene talking to Lilith.

Either way I’m not complaining, Lute having the spotlight is very well needed after orbiting and boot licking Adam for a season.

Hey uh whatever you do don't think about how when Nancy apologizes in the elevator that was probably the first time Jonathan ever experienced partners fighting and genuinely apologizing after 🙃

"You just can't stand to see someone else in the spotlight, can you?"

IDK something something rain. I just felt compelled-

[artbymyth]

“Everything in him recoiled. The water was cold against his legs. His body had gone numb and yet he could still feel the wet give of his brother’s rotting flesh beneath his hands. It’s shame that eats men whole. He was drowning in it. He was drowning in the Ketterdam harbor.”

[t-u-i-t-c]

"You again...!"

[impossible-rat-babies]

I do gotta applaud datv for putting rook in situations in the animations department. like ghil’nain grabbing them by the ankle and dangling them. the whole animated sequence of them ending up in the regret prison. when they heave up one of those ballista to shoot ghil’nain. even the beginning when they get smacked against the wall.

glad they kinda tossed them around like a rag doll

[felixravinstills]

Does anyone know that one scene in Tokyo Ghoul where Touka noms on Kaneki’s shoulder? Because that was also implied happening to Felix in Amor et Mors Omnia Vincunt. Just fyi. Just so you know. Big inspiration. Except you know unlike Kaneki, Felix is dead.

(Scene below, light animated cannibalism warning?)

started making gifs now i don't wanna make it into a full photoset to show off diana. too much work. here she is though.

[blissfullyapillow]

I don’t know what hurts more— seeing all the happy, silly headcanons & art of JJK characters knowing they’ll never get to experience that with one another, or consuming the gorgeous animation and enjoying the hype of a newly released episode only to watch all your favorite characters die and/or lose a limb… 🫠

Laios Touden and the Responsibility of Power

First off, let me gush just a bit about how fucking STRONK this man is. Olympic weightlifters are dying of sheer envy and lust over this man. He is a FUCKING POWERHOUSE.

My favorite panels ever, and judging by the cropping of the second photo, Tumblr agrees.

AHEM, where was I?

Ah yes. He's not just strong and incredibly hot, my man is literally an invasive species in this dungeon. He knows every single weak spot of every monster Thistle tried to throw at him and when he finds it he just fucking RAMS HIMSELF AT THEM AND TAKES THEM DOWN.

And when he's a dwarf HE LITERALLY BENDS STEEL.

"Beat Namari at arm wrestling"? My boy, she wouldn't let you anywhere near because you'd FUCKING BREAK HER HER HAND ALONG WITH THE TABLE. (It's such a fucking shame we didn't see Senshi at least raising an (perfectly plucked except it just grows that way naturally) eyebrow in the background when he sees this. Alas, he was too distracted by his hair.)

But I mentioned responsibility, didn't I? Strength is power in the dungeon, and we all knows what comes with great power. And Laios is, in fact, very responsible with that power!

(Futther examples under the cut, wee bit spoilers for anime watchers)

This scene lives rent-free in my head forever, because of two things: Thistle suddenly realizing just what the hell he's up against,

And Laios breaking Thistle's arm.

Now, I think Laios didn't mean to actually break his arm here, he's just half-blind and dizzy and knows he has to restrain Thistle or it will all go to shit. So that's what he does. The move you see above is a restraining hold. The point is that the person pinned down can't struggle much because the position of the arm presses the suprascapular nerve, so it hurts a lot, but unless they're held that way for too long they'll be fine.

But Thistle is TINY and elves are generally fine-boned. I think Laios really did just underestimate his strength.

And the moment the dragons aren't an IMMEDIATE THREAT anymore?

Laios heals him. Thistle's a better mage than him by miles, he could have done it himself. But no. Laios does it. He was too rough, too careless with his strength, and he immediately backtracked, fixed what he broke, and continued with more mindfullness.

And these are just the examples that stuck in my mind the most. And it happens often enough that the team isn't even fucking surprised! Laios' strength would 100% scare people who only saw him in a barfight and didn't know anything else about him. Hell, the other adventurers they meet fucking quiver before this guy who just took down a monster they had nightmares about in one blow, up until he opens his mouth and they relax. You put more malevolent software in that sort of hardware and he'd be the next Shadow Governor.

But Laios is Laios. He's a gentle soul at heart (a Great Pyrenese, specifically, the gentlest souls ever unless you're out for their flock) and he is VERY CAREFUL with his strength, ESPECIALLY around his team. Chilchuck, who is literally half his size and underfed to boot, can smack Laios as much as he wants with ZERO fear because Laios is aware he can hurt Chilchuck by literally tripping over him, so he just stays still and lets Chilchuck smack at him. I'd be surprised if he ever managed to leave a bruise. Chilchuck has to aim at Laios' weak spot (back of the knee here) just to get Laios to notice him!

But because I have some experience with marital arts and close combat, I think the fight with Shuro exemplifies my point so fucking well! Laios is HURT here, he's living every autistic person's worst nightmare.

And he HOLDS BACK. His restraint is fucking IMMACULATE.

Shuro is fucking lucky Laios still liked him when he started talking shit, because he would have broken his spine otherwise. Laios doesn't even take the fight seriously! He starts with a fucking SLAP.

Shuro retaliates with an actual punch (that does nothing but piss him off)

Laios wobbles. Shuro HITS THE DIRT.

And this is the part where he realizes just how outside his weight category he is. Shuro definitely has technique on his side, but that means jackshit when you need ten blows to to even bruise your opponent, but one hit from them will leave you drinking through a straw for a week. For a second there, Shuro thought he was in ACTUAL DANGER.

But instead of finishing the job, Laios tries to talk him down, which just sets him off again. Man was at his fucking LIMIT, and it snapped. Self-preservation who?

And the best part is? Shuro is throwing all his strength behind his punches and Laios just takes them, but Laios? He mostly pushed Shuro around!

They're mostly grappling here, precisely because Laios is very conscious his friend is pretty fragile right now.

And when he does have enough?

Shuro is flat on the ground again, and Laios has a black eye and a bloody nose. He sits down and five minutes later he's ready to go! Like yes, Shuro was at a low point here, but he's been mowing through monsters at only a bit slower pace than Laios' party. He's no weakling regardless. And Laios had to HOLD BACK SO HE WOULDN'T HURT HIM. And it's so obvious that Maizuru takes one look at the two of them and leaves them to their toussling.

When I saw her reaction I had to scroll back and take another look, because I was sure she would intervene! But she doesn't! She is aware of Laios' strength, she has to be, and she doesn't lift a finger to help her precious charge. She knows the big dog he's wrestling with knows to watch his strength.

And that's my whole point: my boi is STRONK AF! And he is very aware of his strength, and how he could hurt the people around him is he wasn't careful, so he is ALWAYS CAREFUL. He has deeply internalized the fact that to have strength is to be careful with it, to use it in service of people rather than to hurt them (possibly from his dad). He is going to SUCH a good king! He's not going to like the job but by GOD he will do it really well.

And I will give my right arm to see a fic about the first corrupt lord/governor/courtier who attempts to misuse their authority for their own gain. Kabru's gonna have to talk Laios out of an execution.
