anyway when's season 3?
#i'd watch five seasons of them just being inn keepers#like they just keep jumping between the crew doing pirate antics#and then stede and ed running an inn#their paths never meet#just two totally different plots#blackbonnet#gentlebeard#our flag means death#ofmd#ofmd s2 spoilers#diz says words

Parallel Lines and Brothers.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#lan wangji#lan xichen#jin zixuan#Does anyone else think about the tragedy of the parallel lines? Of characters who are parallel lines?#Of running the same course as someone. Of echoing each other in perfect synchronicity.#It's more than being a foil. It's about being on the same path and being so near to each other.#and yet parallel lines never intersect. They cannot meet each other despite their existence being tied to another.#I think the brothers tragedy is just as much of a tragedy of parallel lines as is pre-resurrection wangxian.#Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian spend so much time running side by side and yet - they cant close this gap between them.#Even if their relationship never recovers - they are forever tied together through their past. The good and bad and ugly.#All the things that are left unsaid between them. All the love and sacrifices they made for each other that are never shared. Parallel line#I firmly believe any post-canon material that would have them be indifferent towards each other is just...really doing them a disservice.#And dear god the Lan brothers. They certainly love each other! Its a far fonder fraternal relationship than jiangxian (/platonic)#They fool you by having you think they have a good read on each other. Lan Xichen certainly wingmans + advocates for lwj!#But lets not forget - Lan Xichen by the end is in the reverse situation and headspace as Lan Wangji by the end of this story.#Lan Wangji is more free and open than he has ever been. He's in love. He's married. He and wwx are intersecting lines.#& LXC who grew up with and lived the same path as LWJ - who even is said to resemble him visually - his parallel line - shuts himself away#Despite all the love LWJ has for his brother I don't think he ever manages to reach him.

Something I really like is that April’s constant stream of odd jobs she goes through is somewhat reflected in the boys as well. Like, you have April working at random pizza places or getting a crane license or being fully willing to apply for a job at a place clearly made out of cardboard. Then you have the boys as well who do anything from working as a basketball mascot, building a massive dog park, being waiters, getting a whole band gig at a theme park, etc, etc-
Main difference is that April actively applies for these jobs (and is hopefully paid for the short time she’s in them) whereas for the bros the jobs usually find them (and they practically never get paid.) It doesn’t even stop at jobs either, they just seem to casually amass skills in general.
I don’t know, I like how both April and the turtles are just so ready and willing to do things. Sure, they’re not always good at these things, but they do them readily! In a way, being heroes is just another job (well, more like volunteer work/vigilantism/another fun activity) that they initially took on because of their general sense of “why not?”
They’re very willing and open to trying out new things despite their tendency to revert back to what they enjoy (and how commonly trying new things ends up going wrong), and I think that adaptational interest of theirs really helps them be well rounded in multiple regards.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt headcanons#like not even just jobs these characters just like to go out and do things!#even if they’re initially not interested they’re so curious and stuff that they’ll do it anyway#I wonder if April being as curious and incredibly open minded as she is rubbed off on the boys growing up#and they like…osmosis’d this personality trait from her to be like ‘yeah sure whatever’ to any antic#I also just think that they’re bored teenagers with a TON of time on their hands so they like to just live it up#I think the boys always had the desire to go out and apply themselves but meeting April likely pushed them more#y’know I wonder#what if April narrowed down just one job when in college and she actually managed to keep it#like…almost as a form of growth - she narrowed down jobs and careers and schooling as she hit early adulthood?#it’s kinda reflected in raph as well - originally so open and for goofing off but now much more singularly focused on hero stuff#kinda a sad way to look at growing up but it works here#because you have the three younger sibs still readily doing other things#not as focused on responsibility or singular paths#it’s sad because adulthood absolutely does not mean not being open to other things#but at that time in your life sometimes there’s a pressure and unwanted responsibility to pick a path y’know?#and it’s a relief to learn that actually there was never just one set path with one set trail you always had to stay on#and I think that’s reflected in how raph at the end of the movie opens back up to playing around and doing things for the fun of it

I feel like if Chujin was still alive during the events of Undertale Yellow, his and Clover's relationship would be incredibly rocky. Pacifist!Clover could bring him around to tolerating them (after all, they have that sort of effect on everyone), but it would be more in a "this human is the only 'good' human" manner than a "maybe I should reevaluate my opinions on humans overall because you can't judge an entire group based off (very biased) stories and one bad experience." Even then, that opinion would be subject to change should Clover ever get frustrated or behave "too aggressively" or act in any manner that isn't perfectly docile. If Clover ends up attacking a monster then it's "humans are just as horrible as they were in the war stories, I should've known better" regardless of the circumstances that could've pushed Clover to fight. Suffocating expectations and endless demands for patience when he wouldn't ask the same of a fellow monster.
And heaven forbid he ever meet Clover on a No Mercy Run...
#undertale yellow#i hc that his parents were involved in the war and he was born after monsters were sealed underground#so he's one degree removed from all that trauma which is understandable why he'd be so afraid#but at the same time Blackjack had similar circumstances and he came around to liking clover and judging based on character#instead of by who someone is.#sometimes you need to sit down and realize that the problem is you and your views instead of everyone else but he doesn't strike#me as the sort to do that type of self reflection.#Chujin is a character who is absolutely ruled by his fear. he leaves kanako and dalv alone after they were attacked by a human#to sicc axis on integrity. he hinged his whole career on building guard robots (and judging by some of the paperwork in the Steamworks#he was the only one who wanted to build guard robots).#he destroyed his health and left his wife a widow/his child fatherless to craft a serum to defeat humans.#he experimented on a human (child's!!!!) soul and ordered his wife to k.ill an INNOCENT human.#he literally says that humans are incapable of decency in any form!!!!! the writing is on the wall!!!!!#not to sound like I'm bashing on his character because he did do a lot of good for the underground. he made the honeydew resort heater#and Martlet's balcony. and it's implied he built the bridge between the wild east and Starlo's family's farm with the fox-bell#symbol on that bridge. he inspired martlet to take up woodwork which put her on the path to joining the Royal Guard and meeting clover#he likely did a bunch of other good things as well that never got brought up. he did do some good actions.#but he is not someone that i would call a good person.#(realized i ended up with a long string of tags down here. if someone wants to screenshot it and add it to the post go for it)#edit: i find it utterly fascinating that he calls humans incapable of decency yet acknowledges that there can be a pure human SOUL#what an utter hypocrite! i doubt the contradiction ever even occurred to him!

What if Mai met Season 5 jack?? How would their interaction go? Since Jack is portrayed as a shell shocked veteran struggling with his physique!! (I have a feeling you already know ^^)
It'd very probably start with Mai running to hug Jack but then realizing something's very off because he doesn't reciprocate, and instead asks who she is
She'd question his looks ofc, like the beard. But there's something she'd question way more than that
You're not him.
Then they'd just discuss about her Jack and their timeline
Would not end very well
#yeah... I can explain Mai's absence in canon timeline by Jack taking a different path in one of his journeys shortly after s4#that lead to him not listening to Mai in distress from afar and... never saving her.#And all that ultimately leads to season 5#it's true that if Mai met Jack in canon timeline it'd have ended as POM#but also if they didn't meet that'd lead to Mai not surviving#BUT- yeah season5 happening also leads to Jack never getting the infamous scar and intensified pstd#although that also means taking a fully good ending away from Jack#art#samurai jack#sj#au#samurai jack au#oc#samurai jack oc#mai#jack#jack and mai#season 5#samurai jack season 5#paws of magic#samurai jack paws of magic#pom#pom au#crossover#< sorta cuz its a timeline crossover lol#samuraijack#comic#angst#AS SOON AS I SAW THIS ASK I RUSHED TO IBIS PAINT HEHEHE THANK YOU I LOVED DOING THIS#jackposting

jay ferin, the ways i see myself in you pain me to my very core. because sometimes i feel i am not fulfilling all that i was once expected to.
#ive been thinking about her#and the idea of the ferins#i am not very deep into jays lore that gets explored within the podcast#but there is this idea within the fandom that it is so intrinsic to who she has become#she looked for an outlet from the path that was made for her by the navy#and it lead to the life she leads within the podcast#idk ive heard there is an origins ep? ive never listened to it though (i think it has to do with chip and jay meeting? not tooooo sure)#anyways jay ferin#the woman you are#jay ferin#jrwi#jrwi riptide#just roll with it#riptide crew#jrwi jay#jrwi pod#jrwi podcast#maybe im over thinking her character. maybe im projecting

If you’re the person I met at Ren Fest on October 13th-
Thank you for you kindness and taking your time to walk with my friends until we all met back up after having gotten separated.
You were a breath of fresh air in the current climate and though our conversation was short I felt like I was talking to someone who really understand my love for Star Trek and the fact that it runs deeper than just the characters.
I am going to keep watching Strange New Worlds - you spoke so highly of it and Captain Pike that there's no way that I could.
You are also the first person "in the wild" that I have met and been able to excitedly show my tattoos because I knew you'd get it.
It was just really nice of you to go with my friend just to meet me because she mentioned that I love Star Trek.
I know it's a long shot but if any of you are friend with a guy named Damon (I am taking a guess at the spelling) who was at the MD Ren Fest on October 13th wearing a yellow command costume from and he's mentioned meeting a gal and her feral group of friends and taking pictures with said gal - let me know! I would love to be in touch with him again, our conversation was too short!
I had two tattoos on my leg, a call duck wearing a blue science uniform and a Canada goose wearing a red engineering uniform. He was found by a short red head and her much taller older brother and probably heard me being referred to as "Martini" by said friends. I cannot remember if I gave him my real name 😂 Tattoos pictured below - if that helps my case.
God speed and seriously, if you're out there and you see this - thank you :)
#star trek#ren faire#maryland#maryland ren fest#captain pike#strange new worlds#star trek cosplay#help me find this#please!!!#he was so nice#fandom unite#even if we never meet again#you were wonderful and i am glad our paths crossed even briefly#star trek fandom#tattoos#renaissance#renaissance festival#md#searching for a friend

Princess Monoke reference anyone?
But fr just a silly (non-canon) doodle of Dust and Reaper's first encounter in Ec-4o.verse <3
#utmv sans#my art#spot!drawn#ec-4o.verse#it's so funny to me that they meet really early in the timeline#because like???#Reaper technically saves Dust's life and sets him on the path to finding the base that the main story is set in#back then they only knew eachother for two days and Reaper was off again. they had no idea how important their meeting was#not only for the plot of the story but for eachother too lmao#but yeah. Dust never actually manages to fire a shot at Reaper (thank god) but this doodle was too good to pass up#might refine it later lol#ec-4o!reaper#ec-4o!dust#this was extremely low-effort#I'm so tired today#hehe#oh and#dustedafterdeath#technically it's implied and only 2-of-3 are present but uhhhh#I could it because this was step one of the master plan >:)#count*

"In another life, I would've really liked just doin' war crimes and manipulatin' people with ya, Sousuke."
- Shinji Hirako (probably)
#aishin#“Shinji would never say something like this” I know#maybe effect of dehydration but i wanted more villain shinji au now#two sides of the same coin - the only two zanpakutos with mind manipulation power - genius masking themselves to blend in society#oh boy how easy it would be for shinji going down the same wrong path as aizen if he didn't meet hiyori and befriending the others#i guess I'm gonna go crazy#brb gonna drink water now#shinji hirako#sosuke aizen#sousuke aizen

sees another post about how It’s Wrong and Bad to let bethany join the circle. screams into my pillow forever
#‘I’ve never played it bc i refuse to but here’s what i think it means’. ok.#it’s not about Letting the Templars Win it’s about her facing what she’s always seen as inevitable. what if your worst fear came true#but she’s been preparing for it all her life so she at least has. some level of mental preparation#and also. she finally gets to meet other people like her. feeling totally seen and acknowledged. and the trade-off that entails#listen!!!! i think both routes are very very good but#it’s just so weird to me when ppl take a moral stance against the circle path lmao. you know this is the game about tragedy right.#if you’re trying to make everyone happy and safe. what are you doing here#mine#bethany

#ay. tomorrow might b the day i face the music#which is to say. i tell my advisor how fucked i am. i mean. ill spin it so it doesn't sound so bad#its just that ive told him like 2 weeks in a row that id send him my edited preproposal and i have not bc im too afraid to start reading#papers related to my project. which is frustrating. and like the thing is. and i kno ive said it before and i kno im not a fucking idiot#i can read papers and i can even understand what theyre broadly saying. but thats it.#zero critical thinking. zero insight. i use all my tiny fucking brain space to try to understand the words on the pages#and even then it only forms this broken fucking image of whats being said. like u dont understand. i used to struggle with writing papers bc#i couldnt fucking connect what i was saying from one paragraph to the next when i was the one doing the fucking writing.#what the fuck am i doing here? and again. im not stupid. i can follow the information if its fucking said out loud but thats not how this#works. and it just feels like sometimes there's a limit to what you're capable of and im at that fucking limit. the undergrads in my lab#have more ability to comment on papers than i do. its so fucking frustrating and i just have to live with knowing itll never get any easier#so what the fuck can i do other than drop out? theres no god damn way im gonna pass a comprehensive exam. not unless i buckel down and break#myself in half to try to retain all the information i need to. which requires that i read so many god damn papers that i cant fucking read.#just. why tf did i pick a career path where my suffering is inherent to a huge part of my job? i feel like ive consistently chosen to take#the hard path in life and ive finally stumbled too far from what is possible for me#so well see what comes out of my mouth tomorrow when i have my weekly meeting. i just feel like its my last semester#i feel like this is it. i just need someone to fucking hire me. bc everytime my lab mate mentions something abt#my project down the line or talks abt future conferences i should attend. im just like. its a nice idea but that's not happening. im just#at the end of the line and it sucks#unrelated

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal
#the first thing i do when i become conscious is check my phone to make sure nothing terrible happened to anyone i love while i slept#i never ever ever have plans and if anyone Else has plans i feel sick with anxiety until they’re back from them#if i have smth planned that week i feel completely tense and on edge until it happens#i didn’t used to be like this i hate hate hate it#i used to feel safe in my little house in the forest where i knew everyone in town and knew my way around with my eyes shut#it’s still the only place in the world i feel safe. that’s so unfair#my separation anxiety is ridiculous. if my mom goes to the store and doesn’t answer a text right away i start panicking#if my sister goes to a class or smth idk what to do with myself until she gets back#if i’m in the shower or have the fan on or headphones in suddenly i’ll think i hear someone shouting and i’ll have to quickly turn it off#ever since i moved here it’s been getting worse. i don’t feel safe here to begin with i feel so out of place it’s unreal#but then covid and trauma with my mother’s health and my uncle dying and multiple relatives getting sick and things happening to my friends#i know i have ptsd from very specific things that happened and i live on a hospital path so every day i hear sirens#and every time i do it fully triggers an anxiety attack in me for at least an hour. and my mom too#since being here my hometown burned and friends i thought would never grow apart did and my brother moved out#i know a lot of that is just Being In Your Low Twenties but also some of my worst trauma has happened in the last handful of years and now#now i’m just always scared. always uneasy. always worried. never fully relaxed. never feel fully safe. & idk how to be myself through that#i’m always paranoid and i never trust people irl anymore. ppl my mom or sister meet. i am so suspicious of them constantly.#if anything small changes at all i can’t handle it. my ability to deal with change has gone so downhill#in the last 5 years of being here i realised i was autistic which led to me unmasking a bit and that. comes with pros & cons doesn’t it#my own health has declined. my body changed a lot in ways i wasn’t prepared for and i had to get rid of most of my comfort clothes#sometimes i just wanna sit on the ground and cry about it and not have to also be the one that picks myself back up. y’know???#but at the very least i’d love to just wake up One Day w/o feeling sick with anxiety already. just one day i want to wake up feeling rested#i want to be myself again but can i start with not being scared? not being tired? i don’t know what to do anymore#i just watch my comfort videos and read my comfort fics and stay in my daydream world

#neros art tag#sabito#kny sabito#hybrid au#this au was originally a reskin of a tss au i never did anything with#i made a lil doodle of giyuu a long time ago- before i made this sideblog i think- hes so cute snuggled up in his winter clothes<3#redrawing that next#sakonji's not actually a hybrid but hes sympathetic to them and regularly takes in orphans to teach them how to use firearms and swords to#defend themselves- he had to flee when he found sabito though because they started trying to kill him for helping them#now they travel around a wide path through the japanese countryside/mountains to evade detection#they actively hunt down any hunters in areas they visit tho. they meet giyuu after killing a hunter trying to get in his house#kny au#the song gave me the vibe of helpless complaining about knowing their place but turning it around and defending themself while continuing#to act helpless. idk. sabito
