I cannot over explain how much of a crime it is that Daisy and Basira don’t even have like a goofy ship name like Daisira or something so I am here to coin a name for them AS THEY DESERVE.
My idea is definitely more in the alley of the ship names PrivateEye and Teaholding, and’ll probably be changed at some point, but for now I’ve (at least temporarily) decided on the name “Wolfsbane”, and the reasons behind this are:
Wolfsbane is well known for being a poison. Merely touching the species could lead to loss of sensation in the areas of your body where contact was made (I could ramble about the symbolization that could be found in the roots being the most dangerous parts of the flowers to touch, but I’ll spare you) and they are deadly enough to have been used as a form of execution in Rome. They were also put on the ends of spears and arrows by the Greeks to kill wolves, and many believed them to be a major weapon against werewolves. This reminds me of the inevitability of Daisy’s downfall and her death at the hands of Basira, and the fact that she was doomed by the narrative from the very start.
Even so, wolfsbane can also symbolize protection, from wolves or in general (as a tattoo of wolfsbane generally means). It’s usage against wolves and werewolves can be related to the two’s relationship helping to keep Daisy at least relatively human for a long time, with Basira’s presence giving her a little extra push against the hunt in times such as when Daisy had tried to kill Jon and Basira had stopped her. Or, alternatively, when Basira was the one to save Daisy from continuing on as the beast she would later become.
They grow in rocky mountainous areas, which I personally relate to the blooming of something dangerous, but beautiful, amidst harsh, unwelcoming ground; something I imagine with their relationship. These flowers aren’t the type of beauty that one would expect, either, similarly to the fact that the relationship they have is different than most. I interpret their relationship more like partners back-to-back in battle, willing to die a thousand times for the other, rather than the typical sweet romance with honey-laced words (not saying that the members of more typical relationships wouldn’t die for one another all the same).
And, a more basic reasoning: the prefix “Wolf” relates to Daisy’s being a member of The Hunt and her transformation into a beast during the season 4 finale, and “Bane” relates to both individuals and their tendencies to become disliked for keeping to themselves and eachother, and for never backing down from a mission or a goal.
Keep in mind that it’s very late where I am and I’m not exactly the most lucid atm so this may make no sense— I just couldn’t wait to ramble about these two because they don’t get enough ramblings

Have I thought way too deeply into a simple ship name? Yes. Do I have any regrets about it? No.

as much as I love batgirl 2024, I have to admit the lack of Barbara Gordon mentions in the whole series so far, especially with the first arc having such a big theme of motherhood/daughterhood and the things that comes with it, makes me soo sad. Barbara was the first person Cass actually considered as a mother! Barbara, although she wasn’t the best at it at first, truly did try to understand and love Cass unconditionally even when she was separated from the Bat mantle! And that panel where Cass overhears Barbara tell Dick that she doesn’t know how to really care for Cass could’ve been the perfect parallel to the whole “is a Mother just being connected by blood? No, Something more is owed/Being a daughter is more than being connected by blood” lines that Cass says in the last (current) issue because Barbara, though she did not physically bring Cass into this world, has sacrificed SO much for her, and in return Cass gave so much back.
#don’t get me wrong I love Cass and Shiva’s dynamic and how it is being explored.#however I DO think you can make an excellent story about the two and their dynamic without Shiva taking a traditional ‘caring’ mother role-#-she realistically did not want or care for at least since after Caroline-and essentially Shiva’s old life and softness-died#although I guess you could say that since Shiva is both reminded of her lost softness and Caroline through Cass-#-Cass symbolizes Shiva’s softness and Caroline reborn especially considering Shiva literally points this out.#I think Shiva and even Cass certainly ‘sacrificed’ for each other and Shiva does care for Cass-#-but it’s not really in motherhood hence Shiva is not ‘soft’ enough for that. And it is not sisterhood-#-because Shiva sees way too much of herself in Cass (i.e “im an open wound” line) so that Shiva cannot fully project Caroline onto Cass.#I would say it is something between those lines. But care and fondness/longing for something lost long ago does not equal motherhood to me.#anyways sorry!! back to babs and cass <3#mainly referring to that issue where Barbara says to Cass “People will forget about me [as batgirl] and that’s ok”-#while essentially handing Cass the title as Batgirl.#Barbara sacrificed the mantle she so loved-the mantle she was angry and devastated and overjoyed and is/was a part of her-#because Barbara believed in Cass and her spirit more than hers. more than anyone’s.#Barbara gave Cass giant leather wings to take to the sky with. SHE LOVES HER SO SO MUCH SHSHDHSKSMSN#Barbara wanted Cass to experience the same joy and freedom she got out of being Batgirl. and in response Cass states-#-“I will never be as good as you” because Barbara IS batgirl still in spirit. And as far as Cass was concerned she will never be as good-#-she will never be as self sacrificing as Barbara no matter how many bullets Cass takes for people.#AND THIS IS SUCH A BIG AREA OF CONFLICT BECAUSE BABS WANTS CASS TO BE HER OWN PERSON SO BAD#SHE WANTS TO LEARN WHAT CASS LOVES AND WHAT CASS SMILES AT SO SHE CAN MAKE CASS SMILE ALL THE TIME#SHE WANTS CASS TO BE MORE THAN BATGIRL BUT ALL CASS WANTS IS TO BE BATGIRL#WHICH IN TURN MAKES CASS WANT TO BE MORE LIKE BARBARA-OR ESSENTIALLY MORE UNLIKE HERSELF-#WHICH MAKES BABS INCREASINGLY MORE DESPERATE TO LEARN ABOUT AND LOVE AND SEPERATE HERSELF FROM CASS-#WHICH THEN MAKES CASS SO DEVASTATED BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE LIKE THE PERSON WHO ESSENTIALLY BIRTHED HER. AUAGHSHSJSBDN#yes. you understand.#anyways….idk being connected by mutual sacrifice and mutual love. THAT is the mother and daughter relationship that BG24 was getting at!!!!#this is where I shamelessly endorse CassCainMainly and their meta posts on Babs and Cass btw <333#cassandra cain#barbara gordon#lady shiva

extremely important question do any buffy fans here actually like angel (the series not the character) because i swear all i see lately is people saying it sucks and they couldn't get through it and it's like you can't ALL be that wrong
#season 1 is i guess a bit slow if you're not into the initial premise#at least the beginning#and yeah the soap opera dramatics of s4 get ragged on for obvious reasons#but 2 and 3 are insane#and 5 is just a lot of fun indespersed with some of the most devastating shit you'll ever watch. great times#angel has some of the best storylines in the entire buffyverse argue with the wall#it's not as solid all the way through as buffy by any means but the heights of angel absolutely rival some of the heights of buffy#doesn't beat them out though but still#also s4 is way better on rewatches is what i've realised#first time i was like. what#but once you know what's actually causing everyone to act like they are it isn't as crazy as it first seems lmao#still a mess and joss whedon must pay for his crimes regarding cordelia#but it's definitely much better still#i just don't understand how you can watch wesley completely unraveling throughout the show and not agree it bangs severely#the father will kill the son????? peak television i don't CARE#also angel gets sooo much darker and adult than buffy it's so interesting!!#and darla... oh my darla.....#most people hate connor when he grows up and thats fair i did too#i still don't love him but i appreciate his character a looot more on rewatches#and from a psychological perspective he's fascinating#he gets a bit of a dawn treatment from audiences i feel like. like you can call them annoying thats fair#but when people claim they're annoying for no reason im like lets look at their lives so far please 😭#anyway. regardless of your opinion on older connor. that initial storyline before and right after he's born#absolutely fucking crazy and also so good#you're telling me you watched darla sobbing being like i won't even be able to remember that i loved it and you felt nothing????#i could go on about this forever probably sorry

i could go on and on on the importance of shunkun and yuu being narrative foils of each other and how devastating it makes things
but nah, don't be silly, why would I express this sentiment on a serious drawing when i can draw fluff!!!😊😊 (copium)
progress dump... from vision to the end!!!
Vision->Spirit drawing->Sketch->Details on top of Sketch->Lineart->Color!!!!

"what is a spirit drawing michael" spirit. i inject spirit of my vision into the canvas and hope it makes sense later somehow💜 my process is mysterious in its ways.... not even i know what is going on(゜∀。)

anyway heres an image of the many. many glitches and difficulties i have to face now that my computer finally sniped clip studio😭 but i never give up I dont let the computer stop me
#re:kinder#rekinder#my art#yuuichi mizuoka#shunsuke takano#parun#fanart#this one is thanks to a certain post i saw a few days ago in tumblr. i just had to draw it as them#which was made by @hairscare !!! so shoutout to them for awakening this drawinf#i saw it and i inmediately knew what i had to do#BECAUSE GENUINELY i will never get over the sheer tragedy that these two are similar in many ways#yet the circumstances has made it so while one could fight and keep going with life the other gave up entirely and died??? hello???😭😭#ITS DEVASTATING BECAUSE OF WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN IF THINGS WERE DIFFERENT#BUT THEY WERENT FROM THE START OF THE GAME THERE WAS NO GOING BACK#i constantly think about the fact that shunkun was having dreams of yuu essentially crying for help FOR A GOOD BIT#like look . game starts out he acknowledges this and its. like. who even is that boy that dream again#WHICH WOULD ALREADY PLACE IT SO IT **AT LEAST** HAS HAPPENED TWICE. SO FOR TWO DAYS AT MINIMUM#BUT THEN YOU PLACE THE TIME WHERE SHUNKUN WAS AWAY FROM HOME#WHICH IS DAYS. PLURAL DAYS#AND THE MASSACRE COULD ONLY HAVE POSSIBLY STARTED THE MORNING OF THE DAY HE COMES BACK#because the other kids that survived woke up that same day and were extremely confused so that didnt happen the moment shunkun left#it pretty much happened shortly before arriving and thus the same day he left#which . by the way nothing to do i think it was intentionally premeditated so all the participants of the friends game could be there#BUT THE POINT IS. MULTIPLE DAYS IT HAD BEEN MULTIPLE DAYS SINCE THOSE DREAMS STARTED#so the mere idea that there was a slim point where things could have possibly been different if if that call for help would have possibly#jesus cheisr they mess me up#THE SLIM PERIOD OF TIME IS ITS AWFUL its .#AND THERES MORE OF THIS THERES MORE OF THIS IN ME REGARDING THE TRAGEDY OF THESE TWO BEING FOILS#BUT THIS IS A POST OF A FLUFF DRAWING SO LETS LEAVE IT THERE SHALL WE😁😁😁#they make me sick. i will die /lighthearted

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WONDERFUL PRECURE
#GAOU WAS SUBARU THE WHOLE TIME..... what a genuinely crazy twist but so fitting... what the hell. god.#zakuro's development was so sweet... “i just cant hate you”..... wanting save subaru awugh.#the whole scene at the mirror stone was honestly heartbreaking for subaru. a lot of it thanks to his terrific voice acting (unbiased)#but it was so sad.... he just wants gaou back..... him genuinely impaling himself with the shard. christ. CHRIST#i let out an audible “holy shit”.#“kindness leads you nowhere” GOD. AWUH#the genuine anguish. he truly is kind#NOT KOMUGI NO NO NO FUCK FUCK NOOOOOOOO#and then him reacting the same way..... realizing hes done the same thing that was done to him ..... was so fucking devastating#i find that genuinely so compelling... I DIDNT EXPECT SUCH A COMPELLING AND TRAGIC ANTAGONIST...... OH MY GOD.#its such a refreshing take to me that they genuinely are. so relentless in the love and care they want to share. youd expect the narrative#to go the route of “the moment you chose vengence you are unforgivable” but its never the case in this series.#forgiveness is always an option because they recognize that this vengence comes from intense pain and anguish.... and they cant bear#to see someone suffering. it made me genuinely so fucking emotional#all of it stemming from self blame and survivors guilt too i just. augwhauwhw....#komugiiii KOMUGIIIIII..... TALKING TO SUBARU..... “YOU JUST WANT TO TALK TO GAOU AGAIN RIGHT....” ARGHHH#“i feel warm” when hes purified. im sick. oh my god.#and of course. SATORU AND DAIFUKUUUUUUU#I LOVE THEIR PRECURE OUTFITS I WISH WE'D HAVE SEEN A BIT MORE OF THEM....... THEY'RE SO GOOD#YUICHI NAKAMURA DAIFUKU THEY DID THAT FOR ME SPECIFICALLY#ALL OF THEM SAUING GOODBYE......#when subaru reached oht and started fading i really did get so close to crying in ngl.... the joint hug ..... was so so good... awuhh#the catharsis was so beautiful#i genuinely also love how the plot is so integrated into the worldbuilding.... subaru and gaou's bond being what brought the#foundation of animal town... is genuinely such beautiful closure#the epilogue.... them not speaking anymore and how its like losing their beat friends but also not.... they miss them even when theyre there#the way they addressed it was so beautiful.....#i got so emotional when they got their voices back ok.... AND THE ED PLAYING...... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WONDERFUL PRECURE#im so . what a genuinely spectacular show. awyahwuw#wonderful lb
