He identifies as a villain and he wants to become a god but he's not doing the best job at being bad. Aside from ticking off the gods, he's done nothing but good - though claiming it's in the name of evil.
Himst: WHY would anyone of actual intelligence rely on such petty tactics as brainwashing or enchanting? So much can go wrong! On the other hand, I have a devoted following who will do as I say! (because he quite literally saved the lives of a town and they appreciate their savior)
#my characters#he wants to be a villain SO BAD but he needs a devoted following that will stay devoted once he reaches godhood#so hes like no i must cultivate my large following before then so once i am a god i will be unstoppable#and also hes like really super stressed when he hears Other Evil People trying to get their army through force or manipulation#because dude they are GOING to turn on you what is your PROBLEM#you have to get a fully devoted cult THE RIGHT WAY#so he is always helping and saving people to grow his following and its in the middle of the road to his villainous schemes#but everyone else is like oh him? he is SO wonderful we adore him!#mr villain guy just curing plagues and taking care of bandits and killing monster packs#to protect his followers bc in the long run its for his evil plan#and hes doing literally all the good things#and he refuses to acknowledge it as good#he just doesnt understand pointless violence - thats simply beneath him

Ford, reading the Catcher in the Rye in highschool: *reads it like a good student but doesn't really understand why people like it as much as they do at the time, Holden is hard to relate to for him probs* [he would understand him more as he grew up]
Stanley, actually reading a The Catcher in the Rye and not cheating off of Ford for once: HE LIKE ME! HE JUST LIKE ME FR!!!!
#do yall see my vision#holden calls himself the family idiot. just like how stan calls himself the dumb twin.#holden doesnt wanna grow up n hates db for going into hollywood. stan just wants to hang out with ford n doesnt wanna lose him to college.#holden does bad n school and stan would too without ford#i feel like they both care a lot more than they actually let on more holden than stan but still#holden wants to protect children n stan of course does for mabel n dipper#there might be more but idk#btw fun fact i looked it up citr has been taught in schools basically right afrer its release in 1951#holden caulfield#the catcher in the rye#gravity falls#stanley pines#stan pines#stanford pines#ford pines#the catcher in the rye fandom in 2024 where u at??

arthur and morgana go undercover when they head out to help merlin in ealdor bc if word got back to cenred that camelot’s prince and her king’s ward came into essetir without permission or a heads up, it could start a war. so merlin rolls into ealdor with three mysterious friends to help against kanen and his men and the villagers immediately jump back on their Village Freak attacks. stones fly and insults are hurled and buckets of mud and manure are dumped on merlin who in turn gets into more fights and comes home with bloodied knuckles and a bloodied face. arthur, morgana, and gwen seething. idk merlin angst ig

do you think...would luke feel weird about emma marrying gilbert? they're supposed to be close in age, while gilbert is probably the closest thing he has to a father figure, despite having maybe a max of a decade between them?
then there's also, uh, the elephant in the room
anyways, i can see some angst about where exactly luke slots into this mess of a family. to their kids, is he uncle luke? big brother luke? but, like, it's emma so he probably has to concede that she's good for him, right? idk i feel like that probably makes him feel worse.
[i haven't read gil's route yet]
#rambles by aya#ikepri#ikepri gilbert#gilbert von obsidian#ikemen prince gilbert#ikepri luke#ikemen prince luke#luke randolph#ikemen prince#i came for hot guys and then i stayed for vaguely troubled familial relationships...#first clavis & chev and then the ricci brothers and THEN they hand me gil and luke?#i'm also growing partial to yves & licht#haven't made up my mind on jin and luke yet#as to why i was thinking about this#i used emma as the example but i was thinking about an oc who chooses to marry gilbert because she's recently killed her yandere father#and she needs more power to protect her family so that she can reunite with her sister and real dad aka emma and mr. akatsuki#and what screams bonding more than shitty dads and murder?#but because she knows gil cares for luke she attempts to befriend him to earn brownie points

ngl it sort of pisses me off the way adults regard Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen at times. Which could be a very interesting and poignant point in a good way if well written, but as it is it becomes mainly just frustrating and sad in a negative way.
Nanami saying Gojo never cared about anything or anyone other than himself crashes interestingly with Kusakabe saying the whole situation was just all his fault because he refused to kill Itadori. The students are very aware of those aspects of Gojo's personality, but overall they seem to regard him with way more kindness and fondness even when at their rudest, not truly coinciding with either Nanami's or Kusakabe's views.
#Kusakabe's words are harsh and negative but there's some true and some logic to them#but in beholding the entire story and the whole context‚ especially with the flashbacks in mind‚ in getting to know the sweet kid Yuuji is‚#the reader is made to find Kusakabe's words a bit outrageous and cruel and Gojo's position becomes the obvious one like Nanami's was#Like Kusakabe's is too in a way since he too says no matter what it's always the adults' fault whatever the cause was#And following the story we see Gojo cared a lot about those kids and them keeping their youthful cheerfulness if in his very flippant way#That's basically his main constant thread. We see it at the very beginning in what he did for Yuta and how Yuta is so fond of him#We see him at the very end in a way too with the letters he left#And his entire motivation was changing the very messed up society to avoid the kids going through what he and his friends went through#and to prevent them from being lonely the way he felt he was. Ontologically alienated. Entirely othered#And of course it's in part him keeping people away like Shoko. Or even Yuta (though here again it's at the core of his action his attempt#at protecting the kids and trying to prevent them from growing too fast)#And of course this is motivated by his own experiences and in that sense not entirely a selfless act#But those things still don't negate that his goal was for the future kids to be... in a better situation than what he and his friends lived#So Nanami's words are very cruel and... blind. Of course it's possible that Gojo's way of approaching the problem is still something#Nanami would regard as selfish (but it could be argued that so is Nanami's)‚ or that Gojo's perception of Nanami's way of thinking#about him would be this negative. But what we see through the story absolutely contradict Nanami's words in that airport#And though both Nanami's words and Kusakabe's are negative in regards to Gojo‚ they in a way contradict each other#The kids' words and way of seeing Gojo is most of the time more... accurate? If also diverse among them#They see him like an idiot. They trust him. They think he's childish and annoying. They love him#They find him flippant. They know he cares about them. In a way they see both what Kusakabe and Nanami say about him#The negative. And the ultimate positive aspect at the core of it all. That Gojo did care and that Gojo did take care#and that Gojo risked and sacrificed a lot for them and that Gojo was doing this in great part because of his own past#Yuta perhaps is the one who sees it best but it's so interesting too the dynamic Maki‚ Yuuji and Megumi have with Gojo‚ his acts and antics#And this whole thing‚ this frivolous and even... cruel way most adults seem to regard Gojo and how it clashes with the kids' deep feelings#about him (beyond the initial 'he's an untrustworthy idiot' though those as well!') is super interesting and super sad and super juicy#OR IT COULD BE bc in the end all that happens is that Nanami says that and Gojo pouts comically or that Kusakabe makes that offhand comment#as if it held no weight‚ as if Yuji weren't present and had never agonised over it‚ as if Gojo hadn't lost his life trying to save the kid#And yes he risked more than his life but he was trying to save a kid bc another kid (bc Megumi!) asked. But maybe it didn't matter if no one#asked. He saved Yuta too. Of course he would have risked it all. In his mix of selfishness and selflessness. Everything is so juicy#yet the writing feels so dry and lame. There's no pondering. There's talk of guilt and grief without any true sense of grieving or loss

TMNT au were Mikey and Leo were raised by Shredder to be foot soldiers with Karai being manipulated by the Shredder, believing they have no one but themselves as family, and meeting Donnie and Raph, who are pals with Casey and April already helping them take down the foot solider to face off against Shredder. They cross paths with each other, which shapes how the story continues. Mikey starts to question Shredder, believing that the other side is who he should be with because he starts finding the way the foot handles things to be suspicious, so he goes on his own solo fights throughout this iteration, fighting Raph and Donnie every now and then, with Leo popping in to see assist and see if everything is okay. He also starts questioning his loyalty, but never brings it up since he believes in his father, Shredder, and sister Karai are innocent, so he and Mikey get into a fight, and Mikey chooses Raph and Donnie, which upsets Leo, who throughout the rest fights with Karai to try and get Mikey back on the shredder side. Thoughts?
fic on my hands now please pretty please

#OOOOOUGH THE ANGST OFMIKEY LEAVING LEO BEHIND. OOOOOUGH. CRUMBLES TO THE FLOOR#LEO WOULD BE SO SAD. THATS HIS LITTEL BROTHER:(((((((((((#i love the fact of mikey and karai growing up together karai would also be so protective of mikey :((((#OOOUGH MIKEY LEO AND KARAI FIGHTS... THEY WOULD FIGHT SO COOL TOGETHER AAAAUGH#i love this premise so much but i just keep imagining on how utterly sad mikey would be when apart from karai and leo#while raph and donnie are still his brothers; karai and leo grew up taking care of him because saki def didnt#(seeing as how he treats karai and all)#fucks me up#he would be so extremely sad without his siblings. ough#ask

You guys know on how InuYasha, the few times he talks about it, badmouths his father and says he doesn't care to avenge his death when he battles Ryukoltsei?
I wonder if InuYasha starts to regret his mindset towards his father once he himself becomes a father. Or at the very least, he starts to understand his father better. Especially if you want to go by the Movie 2 canon where part of Toga's death was from protecting InuYasha and his mom.
Just makes me wonder if InuYasha looks at Moroha or any of his other children and has the thought that it'd break his heart if any of his kids felt resentment towards him like he felt for his own father, especially when everything he ever does is to protect them. And I wonder if it makes InuYasha start to look at his father's memory differently, now that he's a parent himself and would do anything and everything to protect his kids, even if it meant dying and leaving them without a father.
Not that he'd go and try to get himself killed, as he wants to actually be alive so they don't have to grow up like he did, but you know he'd sacrifice himself if it meant his children could live, just like his father did for him (according to movie 2).
I don't know, I just wonder if InuYasha starts to ever regret the way he looked at his father's memory back when he was a teen once he becomes a father to Moroha and starts to understand his father's actions as a parent now that he himself is a parent. Ya know what I mean?
#not that Inuyasha will ever have to worry about missing his daughter's life because nothing bad ever happens to break any of them apart#and the same for any other potential children he and Kagome has#its just a hypothetical#Yashahime? i don't know her#all I know is Teenage InuYasha vs. Papayasha#and how differently the 2 must have thought on the same topics#like their father. and how InuYasha felt so bitter or angry at his dad for leaving him in the name of protecting him#while simultaneously secretly yearning and missing the opportunity to know him#versus Papayasha who looks at Moroha & any other potential kids with the overwhelming understanding that they are his whole world#and he'd do anything to protect them. including laying down his life if it came down to it#& how he realizes that his father felt the same way for him & in that way Inu starts to understand his father in ways he didn't before#but he also understands how hard it is to survive without a parent esp. as a hanyou & refuses to let himself get killed battle-#-leaving Moroha and his other kids at the mercy of struggling in the world without his protection#so he resolves himself that. while he is willing to die for his kids. he must work even harder to STAY ALIVE for them above all else#so that they never have to grow up without him and wonder if he even cared or why he wasn't with them#the way he did with his own father#inuyasha#inukag#moroha#moroha higurashi#inukag child#inukag baby#inukag family#inu no taisho#inuyasha family#inuyasha movie 2#inuyasha headcanons#inuyasha theory#post canon

but also i need you to also understand - as a follow up thought - that emmrich's been, essentially, a doting and supportive but at times struggling single dad since he was in his early thirties at this point, with what is also essentially an oversized toddler that he's handling and figuring out how to care for all by himself, and what has to be a somewhat sobering realization that the strict schedule he's had them both on to give manfred (and himself) a sense of order has stifled his growth all these years.
#( ooc )#( tbd )#// i'm a very big fan if you can't tell#// of the idea of the parent-child emmrich and manfred against the world vibe#// there's a lot of evidence for it in the way emmrich talks about him?#// how manfred is part of his considerations for the future because#// there's no one else to take care of him#// how overly protective he is of him#// how - like i've said before#// his attitude with a rook trying to romance him is very manfred's needs and schedule first#// (i've still got that post coming don't worry it's just...involved)#// how he will drop a conversation with rook like it's hot when manfred needs him#// how manfred grows so much and he realizes it when he lets manfred stretch his independence a little#// even the allowance thing#// i just!!!!#// have so many feelings!!!#// about the both of them

well that one comic panel with baby erik activated the sleeper agent in my brain that goes feral for de-aging angst... if you had the choice between erik protecting a suddenly de-aged charles or vice versa, which would it be and how how many years are they losing?
are you trying to killme. this amya very well kil me
#snap chats#sorry 1.) i have drank 2.) i just finished watching shame and the ending hit way harder than i thought it would#maybe its because of Aforementioned Drinking but i need to lay down and throw up#this isnt a shame review tho ill put my On Topic Rambles now#both hit hard for relatively the same reason. or at least foils of a reason Does That MAke Sense i dont know i cant feel ym forehead#becaue like .. charles couldve greatly benefited from having a protector in his childhood- as did erikt oo of course#like with charles he forgave his mother for not being able to do anything against his stepfather And Thats Incredibly Valid#bless his mother she did all she could and so with this scenario im led to imagine an alternartive or someting similar idk#charles is so gentle but that doesnt always work- he needed someone to kick and scream and fight for him growing up#and so im forced to imagine if the likes of erik was there to protect him as akid#similarly with erik charles being there as a caring figure and to just be like#'hey please dont let this world squander the love in you' would be so important to him#am i making sense. i dont know if im making sense im mashing my fingers on a keyboard#its a miracle i can type coherent sentences really but thats my take on thi as of right now#i dont thinka anythin with de-aging nd whatevr tbh but i can entertain a concept at least#anyway now that ive finished watchin ima go see how much doodles i can make before i pass out#ill see youuuu all then

find it so interesting that in 1x03 dead in the water sam is so shocked by dean being such a sweetheart with kids. some people in this fandom (naming no names..) frame this like ‘stupid sam who doesn’t know dean at all and doesn’t even remember that dean basically raised him🙄🙄’……….. but that makes 0 sense. isn’t it more likely instead that sam just doesn’t remember dean being that nice to him as a kid😭
#this post was originally ‘i hate when deangirls do this-‘ but i decided to word it like less of a hater❤️peace and love#spn20rewatch#oliver talks#spn#anyway. like of course dean was incredibly sweet sometimes to young sam and loved him more than anything but i’m sure he was also a total#dick…#and especially s1 sam - to who his childhood is MUCH more recent and raw and real than late-seasons sam who does the same idealisation dean#does going on about how growing up dean always protected him which we know factually isn’t 100% true -#probably has more memories of dean being a dick growing up#anyway of course there’s also just the fact that. dean is really good with kids sometimes but he isn’t necessarily always……..in 1x03 and#with ben he really sees himself in both the kids. cause he’s capable of great empathy! but if he doesn’t identify with the kid he has no#real empathy with them and he doesn’t care so much… hence jack#dean winchester

you guys seem to forget that hakoda is not the only decend dad in the show. no scratch that hakoda isn't even a deacend dad for leaving his kids alone!!!
all of stop being thirsty and appriciate arnook, the mechanist, tyro, gansu and than more!!!
#its like all of you only think off dilf as buff headsome midle aged man. but no they have to be dad material#they have to be caring!#they have to be nice to kids and be absolutley devoted to theirs#good listeners#being there for their kids!!!#awsful jokes#teasing them helping them grow#in hakodas defence i do get it why he left! i really do but it feels to me like he ran away form his own grief and failure to protect kya#not able anymore to keep on hearing katara crying herself to sleep#or looking at sokkas face and seeing the memory of kya that lost her radiant smile#bato called him an idiot for leaving (but joined othervise hakoda would die stupidly without his protection)#and kana silently judged him. but he had to do it for himself and hopefully creating egnouth of a difference for a better future#argh... okay fine hakoda is dilf material too but he is not like at the top of the list!!!

Still can’t wrap my head around how Izzy shooting Ed was supposed to symbolize him “breaking up with Blackbeard” and have them go through that whole thing at the beginning of the season, to have Izzy be the one who tells Ed to follow what makes him happy, and have Izzy’s whole arc be about who he is without Blackbeard just for the finale to turn around and say that Izzy had to die because he was half of Blackbeard and that Ed couldn’t fully let go of Blackbeard otherwise.
#by all accounts it doesn't make sense#Izzy stopped caring about Blackbeard when he stopped following Ed’s orders and started going with the crew#when he told Ed he wouldn’t kill him#he had his figurative death when he tried to shoot himself and Blackbeard had his literal death when the crew killed him#when he’s fucking doing his whole speech saying that piracy isn’t about glory or fame it’s about the community it’s about the crew#the fact that they said that they just didn’t know what else to do with Izzy’s arc so dying was the best conclusion is INSANE to me#like im so hung up on this#blackbeard WAS us#YEAH WAS#dont get me started on how izzy used his fk dying breath to take the blame for everything just protecting others til the very end uh#izzy hands#him telling ed that the crew loves him and then he just....leaves#bitch the crew LOVED YOU#the whole “blackbeard was us i needed him” does gut me a little bit tho ngl like oof can yall stop being tragic for 2secs 😔#anywayyyyy sorry if im being rly negative i dont want to be truly im just upset#it’s like I understand what they were going for but when you put it next to everything that’s happened it’s like ….idk#“izzy keeps the story of Blackbeard alive by being alive!!” and ed doesnt ???#hes literally the face of Blackbeard#so he gets to change and grow and become something else and live as that but izzy cant?#you cannot kill a whole by just getting rid of half#izzy was moving past Blackbeard i just what the fuck is UP#“its cause ed is the mc and izzy is just the side character there to be a device for his growth”#ok well then dont have that characters whole motivation be about actualizing himself as his own person for a whole season#ofmd critical#ofmd

#Doodles#SCII#Damned#Helix#ZEX#Dexter Favin#Hhhh they ;; Their ''first'' interaction!#Officially up to three cryings - not that I'm surprised I love Dex <3#My head was fully abuzz during this scene there are so so so many interesting details!#So interesting to see which ''held true'' and which were left behind - which ones became Helix while others didn't!#At this point I almost see Helix as an alternate timeline - kind of like how Defeated is a branching arm off the main body#Not terribly dissimilar but the details that are different are too interesting to let go of so just make it all canon in its own way! Hehe#Especially since Helix is largely from Max's 3rd person perspective so the way he tells it is different than Dexter haha#Very interesting what he leaves out in his retelling hehehehe ♪♫#Anyhow enough of Max he's not even here rn sheesh ♪ ZEX! And Dexter ;;#Hghhghh it's all set up so deviously <3 That fact that up to this point ZEX has been relying on Zelnick especially to give him credence#And then as soon as someone he ''knows he trusts'' comes to throw a wrench into things - Dexter has as much weight or more!#He's specifically engineered to sow doubt and confusion! Gosh what a place to grow his character from <3 <3#ZEX's pride undoes him completely it's So well written ♥ Truly a fatal flaw for VUX and the way he's picked apart aghh <3#And?? The fact that I can hear ''Max's'' voice in ZEX's syntax as soon as he doesn't have a good argument??? Hello????#I know they come from the same base but like!! How!!! Masterful 💖#As I drew it it's a bit out of order - Dexter says he can't protect Max (😭) before ZEX starts crying it all got a bit mixed in my head#I was very emotional at the time you understand haha#It's all so sad! They're so close in some ways to being or having what the other wants but both fall just short#No wonder they took what little comfort in each other they could <3 ZEX comforted by his voice and Dex comforted by caring for his body#They have so little to offer each other trapped as they are ;;#It's all so interesting and distressing!! There's so much to think about as everything falls into place!

#thinking about the way i feel protective over the kids in my acting class... how proud i am when they do good...#thinking about that time a classmate said 'you'll be our teacher now' as a joke when we were left alone to rehearse....#I'm in no way better than them but i do feel the urge to guide people and maybe my true vocation really is teaching and i probably should#just tell my father to go fuck himself and go my own way#and repay him with a lifelong debt since money is the only thing he apparently cares about when I'm concerned#god growing up is so hard

Jokes aside some of the e answers in the interview are..
#yeah sure. you guys wanted shadow to be a hedgehog to make him more mysterious#i jnow you dont want to break the fantasy but going “ohh we wanted a mysterious character..and thats also why we brought him back!”#instead of just saying thwt you guys wanted a new mirror rival for sonic and that you brought him back cos he got popular#come on man its not shameful to say that#its from little concepts like that that good stuff grows#also “protecting the planet MARIA loved is his only motivation” WHAT WAS THE ENDING OF SHTH ABOUT???#WHAYT#“i dont think shadow is the type of person who cares what he looks like” why is he the only character that combs his quills in heroes then.#i dont think any other hedgehog does this in their idle animations#this is not me hating on Iizuka but hes a bit too proud about being “shadows only dad”#the only dad that remained at sega at least lmao#anyways still excited for this game!#i know this is how Iizuka sees shadow and not word of god or anything and im gonna treat it like that
