#they don’t blow up the world about it

The most interesting character choice with the High Evolutionary is that he seems to have some kind of illness or disability himself (we hear his staff mention something about treatments and he can barely stand up during his confrontation with Rocket when he reveals the filtration system problem he suggested fixed the machines), so that COULD explain his obsession with eugenics even if it obviously not meant to make him sympathetic, but it’s glossed over on purpose. A lesser movie would go out of its way to show the HE undergoing treatments to show that he’s got some Freudian excuse for this, but Gunn refuses to indulge that madness. It’s a throwaway line. It’s revealed during one of his most monstrous moments. It’s literally meant to be forgotten about because SURPRISE being disabled/chronically I’ll doesn’t mean you get a free pass to be a monster.
Honestly, I’ve noticed all of the villains in the GotG trilogy follow this pattern- space racist ethnic cleansing Ronan? Family killed by Xandarians (probably in wars the Kree started). Ego? Lonely. And these traits are mentioned ONCE maybe twice, and usually those facts are presented when the character is being particularly nasty. They’re not sympathetic. They’re not meant to be treated as sympathetic. You can make villains who are irredeemable and unlikeable and give them human flaws without sitting in pathos about it. (Looking at you, Thanos.) You can say “your Freudian excuse doesn’t justify this” without stopping the narrative to prove it. Each villain gets a single moment to explain the reason why they might behave this way, and the narrative moves on without pausing on it. You don’t get the dignity of your pain having ANY focus when you’re this much of a monster.
And the HE doesn’t even get an explanation for his modus operandi. He gets a period of desperate flailing around to suggest SOMETHING isn’t right with him and no explanation. Because it doesn’t matter. He’s a monster. Details of his Space Lupus is not going to make him more relatable.
Also the fact that it happens so quickly and is NOT the focus on the scene means Gunn skirts over the issue of lingering too long on a disability in a bad guy that could be seen as villainizing disabled people. (Especially given that’s the OPPOSITE of the take we’re meant to get from the HE since he’s the one doing that. Constantly.)
#this is coming from a redeemable villain fan#but I love it when a villain (especially ones with REAL WORLD FLAWS) are just monsters#and given the guardians are bags of broken glass messily smashing into each other throughout a lot of their journey#that’s necessary!!#THEY have trauma#they don’t blow up the world about it#guardians of the galaxy#gotg spoilers

All right, i decided on a whim to share a rough reference i use in my head of what teenage Ant looks like. Depending on what story or AU I’m writing a teenage Ant for, his appearance changes, but for this one we’ll say it’s my ‘canon’ version of him. Rather, the teenage Ant I have in my head following my internal interpretation of the canon timeline as it takes forever for new seasons to come out, but that I make sure to update as we get new seasons. Also involving a lot of my headcanons for him, most of which explain certain things about either his appearance or mental health, cause our boy is TRAUMATIZED.
Ant is about sixteen to seventeen here, the typical age for teenage main heroes. Except he has already been through being the main hero and is a little sick of it. Or maybe a lot sick of it. A few years prior to where he is in the drawing, the prophecy ends. After defeating the Monumentials and saving the earth from what would have been a devastating rampage, Ant tried to pretend that everything was okay and normal for a while. You know, blocking all of his trauma and acting like nothing’s wrong as is the norm from teenage protagonists. After a while though, Ant realizes that his lifestyle was never really normal to begin with. Ant has a bit of a metal breakdown, not on par with the one Alpheus had or anything, but he has a meltdown when trying to go back to his normal life fails and he realizes he wants a break from everything. From all the families missions and all the adrenaline they experience on a weekly basis and all the danger he hasn’t realized he’s experienced for a majority of his childhood. Fontaine feels guilty for being so proud of her little brother wanting to do normal, not-submarine things, and so Ant starts his own little journey of doing things beyond the titanium hull of the Aronnax.
Now that I’ve gotten the mini bio, or whatever that was, done, time for the headcanons!
- Ant joined his sister in begging their parents to let them try land school, and ultimately Kaiko and Will caved, due to everything the family had just been through. Fontaine went straight to high school while Ant did a year of middle school due to age before moving to high school, with both kids using Kaiko’s maiden name at Ants request. This was because while Ant didn’t hate being a Nekton and was proud of his name, he didn’t want to attract any sort of attention at all. Fontaine wasn’t immediately thrilled by it, but didn’t complain either.
- Ant ended up growing his hair out a bit, and started wearing a beanie as well. He’d alternate how he wore his hair, sometimes keeping it back but usually having it in a sort of half-up half-down style. Mostly because he didn’t want to try to hard with his appearance, and wanted to try something a little different to what he used to wear all the time. (I usually draw adult Ant with longer hair too)
- Ant got his ears pierced when he was fifteen, deciding on a whim that he wanted to. Fontaine was the one who ultimately took him, leaping at the opportunity. He still wears his communicator all the time, but Fontaine convinced him to try a few other bracelets as well.
- After Ants meltdown, he decided to try and separate himself from most of his childhood as much as possible. Not necessarily in a negative way, but more in a manner of trying to find stuff outside of submarine life. Ant felt he didn’t have too many hobbies outside of anything that came in handy with working and living on a submarine, and so started trying out all sorts of activities to find other things he liked to do. This was another thing Fontaine was eager to jump on board with. He still goes out in the Shadow Knight, and he still loves swimming and working on the Aronnax with Kaiko, but he doesn’t spend nearly as much time doing these things as he did when he was younger.
- Another aspect about Ant trying to branch away from submarine life is his clothing. He didn’t wear casual clothes too much as a kid, almost always wearing a wetsuit. As an older teenager, Ant doesn’t wear his wetsuit too much anymore. He has one, and he does use it, but not nearly as often as a kid. He tries to focus on finding a style he likes, which Fontaine is also ecstatic about. Doesn’t always agree with what he picks out, but she’s super excited nonetheless
-As Ant gets older, he starts to develop some more of Kaiko’s features. Ant always felt, to me, like someone where you knew he was Kaiko and Wills kid, but you never saw any similarities until you put him right in between his parents. As Ant gets older though, he starts to lose baby fat and looks a little more discernibly like his parents, especially Kaiko whom he subtly looks more like in regard to facial structure. (Fontaine is, like, a perfect blend of her parents in my opinion. Ant somehow looks exactly like and nothing like either of his parents in the show)
- Ant starts to develop a bit of muscle as a teenager. He’s not Will, and never does get that muscular, but he’s a teenage boy and that sort of thing just tends to happen to teenage boys. He’s still fairly active as well, which helps. His hair also gets a bit thicker because of puberty, and a tiny bit wavy. Not enough to be actually noticeably though, at least until it gets humid out.
- Ant didn’t grow too much between the ages of twelve and fourteen, but then started shooting straight up at fifteen. Will jokes that it’s all the growth spurts he missed in his early teenage years hitting him all at once. This however leads to Ants usual perfect balance due to life on sea being royally screwed up as his center of balance continues to change makes him abnormally clumsy over the next few years until he stops growing so fast at eighteen/nineteen. Being so clumsy leads to a few accidents, like the one that gave him a scar in his eyebrow. Ant usually doesn’t tell people how he got the scar, cause it’s embarrassing to him after spending so long on the ocean. During a summer between school years, the Nektons were on the Aronnax, and Kaiko just gently tipped the Aronnax into a dive. Nothing Ant shouldn’t have been unable to adjust to with ease. Instead, he slid on the floor, lost his balance, and went tumbling down the hall and crashing into a random room with an unfortunate door open where he wound up twisting his ankle, breaking his nose, and cutting his eyebrow deep enough to scar.
- In line with the prior note, Ant has some scars from all the adventures his family has been on. Fontaine does as well, and these only drive home how desperately they want to experience some sort of normalcy, despite still loving their life on the Aronnax.
- Ants clothing style tends to reflect his mental state; how well he’s doing, if anything’s bothering him, that sort of thing.
I’m sure i have plenty other headcanons, but my brain’s struggling to focus on anything new, so here ya go.
#not me writing all this out and now wanting to write a fanfic of teenage Ants shenanigans in high school#stereotypical teenage protagonist hiding something while attending school. but it’s just that he lives on a submarine and saved the world#it’s like the teenage hero hiding the magic life. except Ant’s retired now#some sort of magical or Lemurian thing starts happening aroudn the school#and while his classmates are filled with awe or terror Ant’s just going ‘not this again’#some sea monster shows up nearby and Ant just blows an air horn at it#a new substitute shows up and no one knows why Ant’s glaring at him so much#it’s Nereus. and he’s half enjoying Ants frustration and half nervous about it because Ants had to replace his pencil twice#the deep 2015#the deep cartoon#ant nekton#antaeus nekton#I’d do one of Fontaine but that girls style changes in my drawings so much i don’t have a solid older teenage design of her#ant’s usually consistent in my AU’s. Fontaine has a new hairstyle for every AU i come up with

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.
#the Jack and Janet thing is both an understatement and an exaggeration but I don’t think anyone reads enough to care#some tim stan might get all pissy and be like ‘no look this is everytime jack yelled at him and boarding schools are abusive’ to which#and its like narratively that means nothing bc the tim you made up to justify the Drake parents you made up by blowing shit out of#proportion is also made up and if all of that was abusive there’d be smth to show for it besides ur homophobic Jack#too girlboss to care but still terrible Janet bc god forbid a woman have a personality from ur fics#anyways that’s also the reason I’m ignoring the council of spiders#well two reasons#first is that was just a moment to make tim look cool and did absolutely nothing for him or his character moving on#like at all#I’d say it fucked with his previous established dislike of killing for his own reasons#and while that COULD be interesting it’s not bc they didn’t do shit with it#and fanon doesn’t do fun shit with it either#nothing about how tim in his most manic state did shit he doesn’t want to remember shit he’d HATE other ppl for#just “’remember what I did to ur base Ra’s? mess with me again and see what I do next 😼’#like ok can you be real and genuine?#anyways I think#AND NOT IN A HATER WAY#Tim would benefit from being humbled#like genuinely I detest the world can’t move without tim running it but the idea that tim thinks that way is so good to me#and#I think next step being him realizing that’s not true would be a BIG push for his character#bc like I said tim Stans are right in the fact that he’s stale as hell rn#but that’s bc there’s nothing to say bc there’s nowhere to go! y’all want a tim action story where he shows off how badass he is reread#the Bruce quest and maybe it’ll remind you he’s not ceo lmao but anyways there’s nothing internal to say about him atp bc nobody wants to#say anything that’s not propping him up. same with Bruce! Gotham war was such a copout but it’s like ppl are saying he’s stale and it’s bc#god forbid he makes a lasting fumble. and I’m not under the illusion this is new I’m just saying it’s weird that fandoms not clocking it#anywayyys I really do like thinking about the No killing rule and how different it manifests for each perosn#like the way each distinct difference tells u so much about them#UGH ONLY SLIGHTLY RELATED BUT DUUUUUKE BEING LIKE IDGAF ABOUT GUNS LIKE UR SO REAAAL#anyways enough tim positivity for today FUCK THAT NIGGA!

Has anyone figured out what to do with the undying rage that lives just beneath the surface? Like the fury that you constantly need to be pushing down because you know unleashing it onto others is cruel? But if you never let it out the build up causes you to explode on some unsuspecting bystander?
#after years of therapy I’ve learned I’m a very angry person#I used to just be sad all the time but now I’m just#so angry#I feel wronged so easily and I hate being mean so I try to never let people see how angry I am#but eventually I just blow up at someone for a relatively minor offense#like what’s a healthy way to get it out of your system?#and don’t say working out#running just makes me angrier because it fucking. blows#is it art? should I be making angry and viable art?#journaling?#people always talk about how to deal with the sad part of mental illnesses but like#what about the true bitches and bastards of the world#what do we have to do to cope?

re last answer: please don't stop, being very unhinged about these two pretty white boys is helping distract me from the sharks losing streak rn so bring it on
https://www.tumblr.com/bondedpairs/764566430180147200?source=share
(sideblog woes but there's the link for you) anyway in the vid they talk about going over to each other's houses to have dinner and things and while that is a delicious example of their codependence i love it bc through an rpf lens there is definitely some old man ******* going on. they can have the dilfs and each other.
(someone else mentioned kept boys which i could write an essay on but i fear being Perceived™️)
anyway if you have anything to add to this please do, if not ignore me and i will hide under a rock until the stress-related insanity has worn off and i am a functioning member of society once more 😂
- @bondedpairs
ty for the video!!! and please, WRITE THE KEPT BOYS ESSAYYYY i promise i will read it with my hands over my eyes if you don’t want to be perceived. do it scared!! do it anyway!! we’ll all love you for it!!!
#like. i don’t know how to explain how narratively aware will smith is to me. he knows he’s being put into the codependent rookies arc.#he’s aware that zeev buium transforms into a dog. he knows that he and mack aren’t getting together because mack’s gotta work it out first.#& in a less unhinged way i simply mean that will smith has an air of both self-conscious thought & projection i think is maybe fascinating.#but not in a way in which i actually know this or think that he thinks about himself and how he comes across. he just Is Something ????#the best way i can explain is one of my alltime favorite fics i use it like a shorthand citation bc i love it so much but catchascatchcan’s#many worlds universe but specifically the second tk/pat story second person you the ouroboros spits out its tale nolan walks off screen.#like that is the kind of narrative awareness i am trying to explain that no matter where i put him will smith knows he’s inside a story but#not in a way where he’s trying to do anything to it. he’s just present there. this makes no sense to me either please understand#liv in the replies#bondedpairs#happy to have brought you something in your times of woe!!! also hope things get a little less stressful for you!! <3#we’re 2gether p much 24/7” no go on i say in my nature documentary voice. watching them like bugs under a rock rn observing from a distance#this DID get me to actually watch the video. agreed with puckpocketed saying rich text and ur tags like. YES the daddy issues popped out.#just wants to make sure he’s having fun!! checking up!! mack the prime irritance in will’s life!! foisted off on one another w/ no choice#it’s like when your parents are friends so then you have to be friends with their kids in a way and then also like. you’re the only kids#close in age to each other but they’re NOT but it is definitely not like. i would choose you for any lifetime it is very will smith hockey#(once again) very aware he has to wait for mack to settle down. like now that i’m saying this i DO want clairvoyant will smith which is not#where it goes in the first half but just in the sense of like. those silly posts that are like ‘invested early in stock!’ & it’s a picture#of braden holtby & his beautiful bisexual wife brandi back when holts was a hipster who wore skinny scarves & now everyone thinks he’s sooo#like that but it’s will smith saying my god you are insufferable but you’ll be fantastic in five years. get in the fucking car.#(yes i am drawing extensively from the one picture where will has COMPLETELY tuned him out (there is a football reasoning reference here?#with the patriots? neonfretra drew this also but it was a tweet about the teams. there’s layers to this here ANYWAY) we’re building a life#i realize after the fact i addressed neither the dilf (gilf?) fucking here nor the content of the actual video & polycules to which i say:#brain scrampled egg. the burnsie/joe/patty/(pavs???) polycule just exists to me and the kids intersect the venn diagram but in a much#smaller portion than they intersect each other in both ways (will/mack joe/the guys)#also as for the content of the video. you’re gonna have to give me at LEAST (how long did it take me until i actually started posting tzjd?#i hate that this is my metric but it really was like. i see everyone yelling about them & i’m like ok. [please ignore the irrational hatred#i have for tz at the time it has to do with moritz seider and also whenever i see him on the ice something awakens in kill mode] and i DO#blame tzjd for my 800 drafts and it took me like. a good while before i finally went OH kay. i see it. okay i can get invested. horizon at#a 45 degree angle moon in the late waxing gibbous winds scented of orange & blowing S by SW from the vortex cycle etc etc ass conditions)

this was meant to be a funny post, but then it got deep imao
not a relationship person, but i believe in their beliefs
#me when i lie#it always comes round to june and i’m always single and it’s quite honestly homophobic#imaooooo nah it’s not that deep i’m just coming on my period hehe x#literally keep saying the same thing about relationships#like i shouldn’t get into one just because i’m lonely#and rush things and completely blow up my life on impulse#but i don’t know any other way#need to learn to take it slow and *actually* take it slow#because the last time i “took it slow’’ it all went wrong#basically i want a relationship at some point but when all your relationships are the same#it really gets to you#and i keep thinking about (redacted) and how much i fucked it all up#but also like would we really have worked out?#if i’d actually believed everything she said would we be okay?#do i not have a life? or am i not allowing myself to have a life?#bc literally i think i’ve gotten so used to being on the floor that i’ve forgotten how to get up#and like if i really tried i could actually get what i want#and i know that sounds obvious but like bear with me#i’ve basically shoved myself into a deep dark hole and covered myself up with dirt and then forgotten i can dig myself out#i *can* be with someone seriously#like yeah it’s uncomfortable and scary and it means facing up to certain things that make my stomach hurt but i will never have a life if i#don’t do these things#i can’t allow myself to basically get pushed back into the closet#i can’t allow myself to be infantilised and treated like shit all the time#like even if i’m surviving purely via spite for a while it’s better than the alternative#instead of constantly talking about the same thing and how nothing ever changes i should actually change it#again obvious but i’m usually miles behind bc my brain… isn’t great is probably the kindest way i could put that#and that’s okay. like it’s hard but it’s okay#even if i’m living out my teenage years and doing the things i’d wished i’d done then at 25+ that’s fine#there’s a whole fucking world outside my bedroom door so maybe i should go actually see it?

Of course, Minho went to Taemin’s solo concert to show his love and support, but we all know he lowkey wanted to sit in that audience and witness the Shawols lose their shit when Taemin took his shirt off in person. And you KNOW he’ll be smiling smugly, too, and thinking to himself, “I did that. You’re welcome, SHINee World.”
#shinee#taemin#minho#2min#taemin metamorph concert#shirtless taemin#shinee world#minho is gonna take all the credit AS HE SHOULD#we know he’s to blame for why taemin has been hitting up the gym so much#we all need to bill choi minho for the heart attacks taemin gave us when he took of his shirt at the concert#boy is RIPPED!!! now#to think that that skinny twig of a boy would turn into this hunky BEAST of a man is simply mind blowing#someone needs to make a compilation of taemin shirtless over the years#key is probably sitting there being like choi minho don’t you dare make me start going to the gym with you#i can’t imagine key ever getting that swol#he’d probably be too concerned about his clothes not fitting him right anymore#though he would totally use it as an excuse to go on a huge shopping spree#jonghyun’s probably up in heavan losing his shit right now#the king of the taemin fanclub would have snapped a photo of taemin the moment his shirt came off and made it his screensaver#then there’s onew who is probably wondering if he has to get super swol before he returns from hiatus#onew you’re fine don’t try to be like the fuckbois#onew#jonghyun#key#ot5#5hinee

Also on the topic of BL3 telling and not showing: the way they pile on all those audio logs that are like Tyreen don’t murder that 6-year-old!! Oh nooo!! because when you actually meet the Calypsos they’re just two maladjusted weirdos who aren’t even particularly violent by Borderlands standards
#they don’t even care about Blowing Up The World until Troy dies and Tyreen starts spiraling#before that their whole goal is to just . Get famous and be annoying#borderlands#bl3#calypso twins

I think maybe we should all go stand in the rain for a bit.
#ra speaks#personal#le sigh….the skill of saying ‘oh fuck of’ and scrolling past something you don’t agree w is lost on new users#and like obv this person is coming from a place of genuine hurt but at the same time they’re being intensely reactionary#like. I get it. I really do. seeing something that so grossly contradicts the life you’ve lived from someone who doesn’t know anything else#your gut reaction is to REACT. to tell them they’re wrong and should feel bad for making you. stranger on the internet. feel bad.#but at the end of the day you’re both just randos on the internet and blowing up on them for making a lighthearted post about their personal#experience w a very serious issue that has also affected you isn’t going to put any meaningful good into the world like#kvetch about it on your own blog vague post do what you need to do but directly confronting a stranger who’s life you do not know#with the confidence of assuming they have had no adverse experiences bc they speak of a serious topic so lightheartedly like#maybe step away from the magic box of little people and talk to another human abt it

borrowing this from @caputvulpinum because it sums it up nicely
#i work in tech. it’s a nightmare right now because all these executives are going on about how everything has to be ai now#while the rest of us are watching the technology flounder and fail because it’s just not actually very useful#that research paper was right. LLMs are bullshit generators#and so all us ~mindless keyboard drones~ are stuck building shit that integrates with ai or incorporates it in some way#(or puts ai in the marketing copy even if there’s not a single fucking hint of ai in it whatsoever)#knowing full well that it’s going to blow up in Someone’s face#and just desperately hoping that when it does you don’t get used as a meat shield by the c-suite#hell world hell world Hell World#whispers from the mycelium#actually i’ll be honest this one is more of a despairing scream from the mycelium

so riddle is at hogwarts when england declares war. he doesn’t directly experience the blitz as it ends a little over a month before hogwart’s term is done. he definitely sees the aftermath of the blitz and maybe spends the summer or part of the summer of 1941 in the countryside (if the orphanage evacuated for the blitz). he would have experienced the build up to the blitz as fears/rumors of bombings or poisonous gas attacks began in london as early as 1939. he was also at hogwarts for the second mini blitz in 1944 and the war ends before he graduates from hogwarts. idk where little hangleton is but he could experienced “tip and run aids” if hangleton’s on the coast and happened to be bombed while he was there. he did experience and deal with war rationing. but it doesn’t look like he would have directly lived through the london blitz or likely any of the smaller air campaigns.
you can however side eye dippet for telling tom in 1943 that he can’t stay at hogwarts over the summer and would be safer in london (a city that experienced horrific bombing less than two years ago, would experience a second bombing in less than a year, and continued to be a potential target for the rest of the war)
and everyone likes to talk about his trauma from the war as almost a mitigating circumstance for his behavior but so many ppl lived through the blitz and didn’t become neo nazis or blood purists.
#harry potter#I don’t get the impression riddle even cared about the war#he probably wrote it off as muggle problems and beneath him#and he probably thought his “special” and “superior” magic abilities would save him from any muggle warfare#I don’t think wizards seemed too concerned with wwii? or even the nuclear age#like rip voldemort but you will never cause the destruction mr “now i am become death destroyer of worlds” did#does the wizarding world know muggles have weapons capable of blowing up the entire planet? and that ppl kept threatening to use them#for like 30 years post wwii like do they know about the cuban missile crisis? they should
