If Khael had helped Astarion ascend would he have stayed with him? Would he have agreed to becoming his first spawn?

he would let astarion make him way worse than just his first spawn >:3c (ascended astarion and consort-turned-guard-dog khael are dear to my heart, I do think about them sometimes. khael is completely and utterly under astarion's command, he retains a little bit of agency just untill the absolute is defeated and then he would give it up completely. he lives for his sire's praise and to make sure no one ever gets close to him. astarion is caring and sweet with him (all fake and manipulative, of course) and likes to parade him around both as a warning and as a power trip. I think they would be very deadly and ruthless together and that that would be eventually their demise - I can see jaheira/the harpers/wyll needing to hunt them down and put an end to their reign of terror and blood)

Can we just talk about the fact that Toji Fushiguro is actually lonely and tragic even if he tries to tell himself that he doesnt care? He lost the one love of his life, the only sliver of happiness he got after being abused and out casted by the Zenin clan, he sold Megumi off because he thought the Zenin clan would provide better opportunities for Megumi, he knew he couldn't be the father Megumi needed, and though it wasnt the right decision in the end, he TRIED to do what he thought was best. Ultimately the fact he told Gojo showed that he held regret AND still wanted the best for his son, even in his dying moments. Not to mention he ended himself so he wouldnt kill Megumi in the seance section. He did what he did to Gojo because he wanted to prove he was SOMETHING, to be seen as something by the very people who made him feel like he was nothing. He wanted more, he wanted to BE more, but he did it in all the wrong ways. Then not only that, that scene of him and Shiu where Shiu declined going to eat, Toji Fushiguro was really alone to the very moment he died both times. He tried so hard to convince himself he didnt care about anything anymore when deep down, in that soul crushing part inside of him, he cared too much and it all came out irrationally. The fact he lost his only happiness, his sunshine, his light, the moment he was getting better. Toji tried to stop hoping, because what point was there to hoping when it would just get crushed again? But deep down he still hoped, in a twisted, rotten, broken way. It became hard to want to change because the moment you leave rock bottom theres always going to be that possibility of falling right back down, again. Alot of people dont realize how honestly realistic he is, hes a product of his environment, of his childhood, he became sour and bitter and rotten and twisted, because that, for the most part, was all that he had known. I love you Toji Fushiguro, they could never make me hate you 🫶🏻

Rewatched the lego ninjago movie and i can't stop thinking about garmadon w koko and when he's explaining why she left he goes "l could've changed.." and that whole scene and the other one where Lloyd is talking to the "cat" and he's saying that he knows he doesn't mean to destroy things and that he's just scared and oh my god how did I ever think this movie was bad

[c1trvswurld]

Enough babying curly let's talk about how he's a grown man. A fucked up one at that.

Let's talk about how he is nice but not kind he is the type of man to do crowd control. Sit at the backline and trying to minimize instead of solve anything. He's like pain meds in a funny way. Made to temporarily ward off pain but never treat the root cause. He's the very real representation of the bystander effect. Of men who will make excuses and pardon people he should not because he doesn't want to cause trouble. Doesn't want to strain an already odd relationship he has with jimmy. So internal he decides it's the best decision to take the soft route, the unproblematic one, a compromise when there shouldn't be one.

He's a doorstep for someone like jimmy. In a way they are perfect for each other in the sense that for once jimmy is around someone who doesn't mind him, can put up with it for the sake of peace, knows he can dog walk him with enough 'I'm sorry"s and feigning sadness under his fears of abandonment.

And curly is responsive to that, soooo much to the point that he takes up the role of men who are friends with abusers. People who go "well they didn't hurt me so!" Always trying to find a middle ground until he can't anymore

your real honest opinion on David's character. GO!

I feel like this implies I've been trolling everyone for the past 6 years about how much I love this silly lil guy. Is there supposed to be a /j at the end of that, anon??

Bestie I would not put this much effort into a troll ever 😭 like do you think I sat there and made a whole comic series for a funny little gag??

In case this is genuine tho:

LONG READ AHEAD

cuz of course. You give me the chance to talk about David and I'll TALK

My real honest opinion on David

Paradise

Silly funny fella. Goofy as hell. I think you can read David's attitude multiple different ways in Paradise. To some he comes off as just an asshole

To others he's just a kid being a kid

I personally read his character as somewhat sarcastic and spiteful towards Jakob. His smile? Sarcastic. His "it's been a while brother"? Sarcastic. "I hope I'm not the one who died tonight" while knowing full well it ain't him? Sarcastic.

I'll talk about this more later when I talk about Mr. Rabbit!David.

David has the characteristics of most youngest siblings; He's annoying, he's childish, maybe a little spoiled and needy for attention too.

Not to jump ahead in this analysis and all but in Birthday, the box he needs has text on it that reads "hungry ghost", "ghost who is unable to be reborn" or preta. They're often spirits of people who died full of greed and jealousy. In Japanese, a preta is also "a spoiled child" or "brat"

Based on that information I thought maybe David was jealous of Jakob cuz he wanted to be the golden boy, ya know?

Tldr;

Paradise!David is just a funny lil guy who most likely harbors negative feelings towards Jakob who overshadowed him despite not even being there.

Mr. Rabbit

Who David is now. An older more mature David. Something clicked in his brain and he realized 'okay actually we're all fucked. Peace out guys I'm looking out for myself.'

Brown Rabbit:

I feel like he represents the last bit of David's naivety, innocence, and child-like spirit. The white rabbit (David from the future) sees that rabbit get killed from the window. He can no longer deny what's happening. The child within him he used to retreat to when things got bad is dead. There's only the white rabbit now

I feel like that's also something represented in David's masks

The older he gets, the more devoid of joy he becomes

He becomes more and more aware of his situation.

As a child, you have the blessing of ignorance. That's why the world feels like a safer more colorful place to you until you grow up and you can no longer protected and shielded from the world.

To me, I think that's where David's trauma comes from. His ageing and how fast he's had to grow up and become a man, despite his attempts to remain a child.

In paradise, it's likely he was still pretty much "fingers in ears going LALALALALA" with his eyes closed tightly.

Brown rabbit is all that remained of his ignorance, and now it's gone, leaving behind only the White Rabbit. The David that knows and acknowledges the cruelty of his life. A ghost of his former self.

Speaking of:

White Rabbit

What are we but the products of our traumas and life experiences.

The white rabbit, David from the future, is on a journey to save his soul and be reborn. Obviously, the goal of all the corrupted souls. There is a soul we know succeeded in that and was, in fact, reborn. And that soul is Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was the collateral damage in a battle she had no hand in. She is probably the most innocent victim in all of this family feud going on, and I think because of that, Jakob allowed her to be reborn.

Something he did not allow David to do. I think it's safe to say Jakob and David do not like each other. Seems like David's plans clash with Jakob's and so he has to be taken out of the picture, and yet, David always seems like he has tricks up his sleeve.

Somehow, David is able to go back in time to save himself. What happens after that? We don't know yet

You could argue that he failed and died in the blue cube memory of Birthday. Or that he is simply still out there rn waiting for his story to be told. Both are true cuz that's the nature of Rusty Lake.

David seems to be on his own grand journey, stuck in his own Paradox, desperate to find a way to he reborn.

The thing that stands out of course is David's corrupted soul, or rather, the many different forms of it:

This is probably due to there being multiple different David(s) from the paradoxes he's lived through.

But what is the White Rabbit David if the brown rabbit is David's reborn Asura? Is the white rabbit not his Asura too?

Hard to say. We never seen a corrupted soul take form like David's white rabbit one before, and even more than that, one that retains autonomy. After all, David had enough control over himself to write and leave Dale a letter, meaning he is fully aware of what he is doing. Yet he is prone to violence the way regular corrupted souls are.

It's likely the white rabbit is an advanced form of a corrupted soul, probably the last stages before rebirth.

That or.... Well.... It's just a mask. After all, in Paradox, David spoke with a regular human voice over the phone, meaning he was not a corrupted soul.

In that case tho, if he was already reborn... Why did he say he needed to escape his current "hungry ghost" state?

Obviously Paradox is the most unreliable game narratively cuz you're just going through Dale's jumbled up memories. It's likely he's just recalling an actual conversation he had with David on the phone at the time (which still makes no sense cuz that would mean at the time David was still a human. Or it means he's recalling some conversation he had with David at some point in his life, not necessarily Birthday. OR... That's just a memory the machine is feeding him and it never really happened. Point is, paradox can't be used as a fact for anything)

Timeline is fuuuucked when it comes to David's story so uuuh

We don't know where he is now, what actually happened to him, or wtf is going on with him.

What we do take from his whoooole story tho:

Conclusion

(you did it, chat. You made it this far into my rambly post!!)

David is a really cool and very interesting character that might not appear to be so on the surface. You only really get how complex his character is when you think of everything that has happened in the games. He has a story that is either left for us to piece together or is still not yet fully explored.

To me, David is a character born of defiance and rebelliousness, as well as the need for survival and self-preservation. He is someone who has challenged his own fate, knowing damn well he's up against higher powers, but still taking the chance to save his soul. He is resilient, and stubborn, and just won't accept his fate and die. He has challenged his position in the food chain, a rabbit who is meant to be at the bottom, proving that he should not be underestimated. To me, that's worth loving and admiring. AND IM CHEERING HIM ON! GO DAVID! GO! IM SO PROUD OF YOU MY SON!!

And that's my real honest opinion on David

Thank you for reading.

thinking about writing a jmart fic inspired by my original story. would y'all read it or nah

[stealingpotatoes]

Honestly Mace would have loved Luke and Leia with his whole heart.

yes!!! honestly he's like a grandparent (in the dynamic way, not age way) bc he was harsh on anakin but you KNOW he's much more caring for the twins, like how a grandparent is strict on their kid but gives their grandkid literally whatever. and anakin's like where was this for me

[bikananjarrus]

no but, stellan said he was jealous. he was wary of the closeness, the intimacy, of elzar and avar’s relationship—not bc he was trying to stick to the rules, but because he was JEALOUS. and he was looking at elzar in a way he hadn’t for a long time when he said that!! do u understand!! he said that in their constellation of three, elzar and avar always shone brighter, were always closer together! and even though elzar assured him that he is their polestar—their guide—stellan believes he will always be separate. a part of the whole, but always apart from them. he wants what he can’t have and he’s in love with elzar!! like you understand yes?? he said he was jealous and he’s in love he’s in love he’s in love—
