i know eddie has been through some shit in terms of his military trauma, but i would love it if season 7 remembered he actually has medical/combat experience that the others don’t. i recently watched season 2 again and omg there are so many times when he gives advice or takes control of something bc of his experience. the only time i can remember off the top of my head since then is season 5 when he gives the advice about the bomb when he’s at dispatch. i need them to have a call where there’s something really awful happening, mass chaos, mass injury etc etc, and there are multiple ladder teams there and another captain asks if there’s anyone with expertise in something like this and bobby just goes ‘i know a guy 🙂’ and then hard cut to eddie storming around giving people orders and telling them what to do and where and when! he gets to have a bamf moment where he remembers that his military experience can also be an asset rather than just a burden (and bonus points if it affeCTS buck, i you know what i mean lol)

OH MY GOD I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS LITERALLY LAST NIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO BED. I was thinking about when Taylor (derogatory) is introduced and he just starts talking physics and deals with the whole helicopter. And obviously there's the bomb, the grenade, and the few times he says I've seen a few of these in combat, but like, it's an expertise they never talked about again. Besides the medical training, the academy training, he also has around 5 (?) years of army experience and it would be great to see him use that knowledge and I think it would be good for him to also see that he can use that in a way, and somewhere he would have people around to support him if it triggered him (ideally it wouldn't but they could use that to go all recovery isn't linear). They could've gone in such fun ways with his knowledge outside the academy, and they just never used again. And I guess sure, if you're in Los Angeles the expectation would be for him to not encounter that type of situation but it would interesting to see him bend what he knows to apply there. He clearly dealt with bombs in the past, some improvisation skills, even the random tipbits about why rushing into a specific situation would be bad like he does with the helicopter and the dynamic rollovet, and I'm pretty sure there's another call he starts talking physics I don't remember what now, that could add a whole layer as to why he is so good at the job, because, yes, it traumatized him, but I think it would be good for him to realize that he got something useful from all that too.

Also yes please, call where Eddie is taking over and Buck is just "this is definitely working for me, yes sir"

#i was talking to myself about how efficient Buck and Eddie are as a rescue crew and that a lot of that comes back to Eddies military #background because it did give him skills beyond just being a medit #and when paired with Buck and his heavy rescue skills the two of them are quite a match #like it makes absolute sense as the why bobby would look at eddies file from the academy and decide that he was the one he wanted #to be partnered up with buck #they line up in a powerful way #he can just send the two of them #because both of them have the heavy rescue skills and when you pair that with eddies medic skills #its over the two of them can deal with the whole situation without them having to worry about getting a paramedic down with them #but yeah #eddies military background should be more explored #let him learn to use those skills in a better light #i really need a tag for asks #anon 😌#911 #diaz

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

#mlp #sunset shimmer #twilight sparkle #twiset #the orbs are the glass balls sunset carries on her back btw its in her cast line up art #deep down sunset hates thea. she was named “twilight” by celestia. the time of day succeeding sunset. she was always her replacement #but at this point in the story sunset's also fallen for thea. so it's also a conflict of wills in sunset. love or hatred.#hence the “don't make me do this” language. she's rationalizing her hatred and violence as thea forcing her hand and getting in her way #when in reality she doesn't need to do any of this. it's her last stand and outburst to cling to a life of revenge that she's grown too #fond of. because she knows thea has the power to change that and disrupt her identity as a pathetic victim who fell from glory #and that's scary. thea's a very scary thing to sunset because suddenly sunset wants something and to be someone new.#she suddenly wants to change. to be better for someone else. and she never thought or believed that could be an option for her #anyways toxic yuri yayyy #my art #the grand galloping 20s #character design #i hope i got across the pained conflicted emotions in sunset's face tho i belabored over them these past 3 days #i hope a look of anger and dissonance and guilt and “oh god i don't really wanna hurt you please just obey me” while trying to intimidate #is readable. if so it's all in the eyebrows babey

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself #note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown #when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is #and how much his persona is more an actor #Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so #since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it #and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are #I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja #his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times #not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo #but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters #or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily #it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do #like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero #All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential #likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja #but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse #he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it #Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like #you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #sora #rage form #arendelle #formchange #my gif #rage form is so intriguing #sora still behaves in a wild animalistic fashion similar to his anti form but it's different #anti form felt as if he relinquished all self control and acted strictly on instinct just like a heartless #he used to run around hunched over on all fours and fight tooth and claw with reckless abandon #but here you can at least see SOME semblance of who he is. he's able to wield his keyblade while in this form which is pretty major #he still fights in an absolutely chaotic and primal manner but it feels evolved #the big difference is you call upon rage form at will. he channels his rage and darkness in a desperate last resort to stay alive #which is very significant but he still loses some control like the ability to use of magic; items; shotlocks; etc #it's cool to see darkness used in this way but i really want sora to able to explore themes of darkness within himself in future games #i want these to be more than cool forms with fun gameplay. i want them to have implications that something dark is brewing and needs to be-#brought to the surface and tackled head on because we've never seen anyone capable of cloaking themselves in darkness in such a way #take riku's dark form for example. he's in control and he's very much still himself. it's entirely different #on another note i'm now thinking about how hp is fully restored when activating rage form but you have the choice to give it up again-#when using risk charge. it'll increase attack damage but you're still walking a dangerous line in the pursuit of power

I did Karaoke for my birthday a bit back and had a lot of fun, so I got to thinking about what songs these two might do, and of course they'd do Pokemon songs! I immediately thought of OK! 2000 for Kabu since the singer screams at the top of her lungs right at the beginning, haha. Larry's voice is softer in Japanese than I expected, so I thought of something a bit quieter for him - Soko ni Sora ga Arukara. It turned out the lyrics for that kind of fit!

When you become tired from trying so hard, Look to the sky as you shed your tears. The wind brushes your cheeks, I'm sure it'll say: "It's okay if you fall. You are you and that makes you wonderful!" Those that haven't been hurt cannot see the blue sky. On a journey you hesitate to walk on, your life will shine.

The OK! lyrics are simpler.

OK! Let's move on OK! If we're together, we'll be all right OK! Even if the winds change OK! Our dream won't!

Since the lyrics were in Japanese I figured I should write them out for real instead of Romanizing them, which made me realize just how long it's been since I've written in Japanese, haha. I bet my handwriting is terrible...

[patreon]

#pokemon #pokemon masters ex #larry #kabu #larrykabu #aokabu #アオカブ #aokb #firebland #silverstreakshipping #afterworkshipping #kablarry #z art #z comic #pokemon swsh #pokemon sv #larry starts out very quiet but slowly gets more power the more confident he gets #karaoke is a very normal thing for salarymen to do!#doesn't mean he can't get a bit awkward about it #people in the room next door tell them to keep it down #did you know i collected pokemon music obsessively for a long period of time #i have a page on my pokemon site cataloguing all the pokemon cds #i did eventually fall out of it around like 2012 but i have a pretty extensive collection of older songs #running way back to when the series first started #thus why my first thoughts were two older songs... i haven't heard many of the more recent ones #for some reason when i wrote in japanese i kept drifting up and to the right #i had to readjust all of the characters to try and be in a straight line lol

ninjago s11 redraw

#alek art #ninjago #zane julien #lloyd garmadon #ice emperor #2024 #ice emperor zane with a ponytail is canon to me #this is technically a redraw ... buy also a rework of what happened #i dont go with the vex wiped zane's memory. zane being stuck with the cursed scroll for 6 decades is what did him in #here he sees lloyd and takes off his helmet . then somewhere along the lines after being sent to the dungeon area he sees kai #lloyd is like .. hey kai zane is the emporer btw ... and kai heads over there and fights him . zane is obviously not himself but the whole #power of friendship thing bothered me so bad . he commited genocide he isnt a good person . give him a better ending #kai has to get the scroll away from him . then theyre just left fighting and fighting until zane is wore thin mentally. its like withdrawal #its a very complicated thing when they get back . zane is half himself half another terrible person . he wont ever be the same . the ppl #he hurt wont ever be the same . i dont think he uses ice for a while . i dont think he talks to them the same way he used to .#kai lloyd zane dynamic drives me up the wall i wish it was explored better here .. lol

Lahabrea possessed Thancred before this questline even started which means these are back to back Laha interactions. Here is how he greets the WoL in the Waking Sands immediately after his Disney villain introduction.

Meanwhile in Minfilia's solar:

presumably he took a brief break from running Alphinaud's errands to go dramatically laugh at the WoL

#enjoying all this with Pandaemonium context #there is a lot to unpack here #OK LETS GO PANEL 1 #based on the follow up he's really just testing out the person who killed ifrit - not too different from elidibus' test later.#he comes across as goofy but i gotta ask if he taunted panda critters the same way before experiments #moreever hydaelyn is busy going “Eeeeeevvvilllll!!!” in your ear while laha chatters #I assumed this was direct line to the WoL consciousness the first time #but based on 5.2 she might just be bullhorning to anyone with ancient powers which means lahabrea is listening to her shout “eeeevviilllll”#hilarious I hope that is what was happening #PANEL 2 #not shown is laha opening with “oh hi <player name>”#like he sounds more like panda laha here than almost anywhere else nearly #in which of these two panels is he acting more I ask???#I'm thinking its an even split per emet-selchs reckoning of his lost personality #if he could hold out as long as he does hanging out there in the Waking Sands hall then #it becomes very easy to see emet-selch felt like he was getting enough sanity out of him at the time. hes surprisingly functional #in spite of that intro #PANEL 3 #we were SO ROBBED to miss alphinaud investigating ascians with lahabrea. so robbed #alphinaud is still unsocialized at this point so extra annoying to laha for sure #thinking about how lahabrea acted around themis in the far past fills in a few blanks. can draw a couple of parallels perhaps #rotating that thought #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn #lahabrea #alphinaud #minfilia #ffxivedit #gamingedit

Quick treat for my Zelda followers, thinking about Link post totk <3

#why didnt they lose the arm permanently 😔#I mean i know why. but why #I really really love the parallel to the beginning of being able to catch Zelda when you missed her hand in the beginning #but theres something more powerful to me about making up for your mistakes even when there were consequences for them #link cant catch zelda with the same hand as before because it is gone. so they used their other one #theres probably a more poetic way to say this but idk #oh this also lines up with zeldas draconification and why i give her dragon features #you cant wipe all of that away after doing something forbidden. there are consequences #loz #legend of zelda #tloz #the legend of zelda #link #princess zelda #totk #tears of the kingdom #totk spoilers #my art

not indirecting anyone but i keep seeing the take that sam has power over dean because dean is so attached to and dependent on him. like it’s everywhere. and its just soooo fundamentally flawed. that is not how anything works. not to sound like a broken record but that type of dynamic (where one partner, the aggressor, views themselves as in fact controlled/dictated by the whims of the other) is actually very standard in an abusive relationship…

whether or not sam has ‘power’ over dean in this way is functionally irrelevant because his ‘power’ extends to his ability to somehow, what, psychically manipulate dean into doing what he wants?? whereas dean’s ‘power’ over sam is making sure sam adheres to exactly what he’s decided sam should do and punishing him if he doesnt do that, and deciding he has ultimate control over sam’s own decisions about his life (see main plot events of s4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, so on and so forth…).

#thirteen year old me type logic (i say this a lot i know but it’s true)#it just literally IS. 13 year old me would be like ‘i’m the powerless one cause i’m at the whim of my emotions’ (dean logic) girl get up #i literally have a line in my recent fic like ‘maybe sam’s the one with the real power by sitting there and taking it’ which obviously is #from like 14 year old sams perspective trying to rationalise things but there r genuinely so many people who like. Seem to actually believe #that.#idk it’s this weird bias people have about spn where if you acknowledge the unbalanced fuckedupness of sam & dean’s relationship you’re #‘simplifying things’ or whatever. but abuse isnt in any way simple #spn #oliver talks #sam & dean #poison in the water #i feel like i’m relentlessly negative on here. sorry guys

Which episodes have the best Dennis and Mac ship moments?

I wouldn't necessarily say Mac and Dennis have "ship moments" that you can pick and label as the "best" (other than what would make sense as scenes for compilations/edits?) and I'll defer to @psymachine's answer to a question similar to this: don't watch this show for Macdennis moments/episodes.

I can pretty confidently say that Mac and Dennis (and the show) will be lost on whomever decides to go at it through the lens of "best ship moments". Because what is considered a good "ship moment" for something as fucked as their relationship?

Mac is canonically admittedly in love with Dennis, so it's not hard to pull a ton of "ship moments" from his relentless pursuit: you have attempted kissing, erotic dreams, baby trapping, sex doll Dennis, room trapping...all stellar attempts on Mac's side and all important aspects for their relationship (Gets Romantic being one of my favourite episodes), but those moments are almost all, in the most blatant way to put it, sexual harassment. Sexual harassment of Dennis that was essentially born and grown from Dennis' conditioning of Mac's sex life in the seasons before: making and recording sex tapes for him, teaching him the best way to get sex is through carefully orchestrated systems and schemes made up of lies and deceit, that getting off has very little to do with a second (willing) participant.

Barring their individual personalities and mental illnesses, what ends up coming from Mac heavily relies on what comes from Dennis years before, and what is eventually ongoing between both of them (reaching batshit levels of sex chicken) exists among and within that all. IMO, placing any specific "best" on a moment for them as a ship is almost impossible without reference to everything before it (and an actual understanding of it all).

That being all said, what I would call the best ship moments for the two of them are what's hidden between and underneath the hard punches of their back and forth, the subtleties that are continually ongoing (mostly the ones that lead you to understand that Dennis is in it, even when Mac is on the offensive), this shit that's impossible to pin out of context:

The way Dennis gets even stupider when he's wrapped up in an idea with Mac (Timeshare, for example) and the way he attempts to cut off his outbursts when dealing with Mac's own stupidity (see Frank Retires) (and Recession is great for both of these). The fact that Dennis will push past his own grievances for little reason other than to make Mac happy (Suburbs) and the fact that at the end of it all, he's always going to end up going home with Mac (Divorced.. mm). (For all of this in one shot: Inflates)

And for Mac, in more recent events with Dennis on the offensive, when his ever desperate vie for Dennis' attention and affection is pushed back on in favour of being the Mac Dennis truly wants. The Mac Dennis fell in love with decades ago.

#iasip #macdennis #ask #today: 10 mins on extremely important work email vs 1 hour on casual tumblr ask about macdennis ship moments #guess which one ended up with a higher word count vs which one required 10x the brain power to answer #and which one has 23mm dollars on the line vs which one has *scratches head* some potential dopamine when oomfs hit the reblog button? ig #i hope eventually i can work my response here into some sort of blog post for the ppb #but macdennis.. its a dangerous game we play #and i worry a lot of people just are like. literally in it for the ship moments #in the classic sense of oh this would look so good in a compilation to convince my friend to watch this for gay people way #unfortunately i think if youre gay you should get into sunny the way god intended #the guy youre tryna fuck has it on tv when he invites you over at 2am #speaking of 2am that is the time so goodnight

excuse me i just stumbled on this photoshoot (?) on Twitter and

wtf why does peat have that rich 太太 (tai tai) energy?? (ie. a wealthy, spoiled, pampered trophy housewife)

why does fort look like his assigned bodyguard who is officially just there to make sure no one gets to his boss through his 'wife' but he's also totally fucking his boss' wife on the down low

they totally plot to murder peat's rich husband and have him inherit his fortune and afterwards fort stays as his kept man bodyguard and peat rules his financial empire with an iron fist.

why do i need a fic about this like i need to breathe.

Edit: so i wrote a thing (its mahasamut/tongrak and its way more intense then i even anticipated)

#fortpeat #fort x peat #fort thitipong #peat wasuthorn #this has very 'freak for freak' energy #both of them are very grey morality and more than slightly obsessed with each other in that possessive way thats definitely a bit toxic #oh actually this could fit for:#mutrak #tongrak's the type to get upset if anyone (eg. the waitresses at the parties he attends) pays attention to his dashing young bodyguard #and mahasamut will leave possessive marks juuuuust underneath the line of tongrak's collars so that he knows tongrak can't fuck anyone else #at least not without it being clear that someone else was there first #their dynamic is all about shifting power plays where outside the bedroom tongrak will do something to rile mahasamut up #so that the second they're home mahasamut will pin him down to their bed and fuck him into submission again #the servants all desperately wish they'd stop fucking in random places because they all know way too much about their kinks #mahasamut x tongrak #tongrak x mahasamut #rakmut #fic inspo #its the blazer/top thing that peat's wearing that is just peak tai tai energy i can't #<my posts>

My feeling right now about the cast

#in some capacity #they all know something fucked up #but sam knows in the most clueless way #breaking it down. sam has seen shit he about the magnus institute he wants to understand because it haunts him #alice knows much more than she lets on. shes seen something within the government's office that fucked her up.#maybe one of her previous coworkers who got fucked up? maybe shes an insider for the group who has the man in black? hmmmm #lena is boss lady probably starkwall related. working beyond her work description. regarding cover ups?#gwen saw stuff her family was privvy to one way or another and wants that power #colin knows about the recordings. saw somw lines if code in the system that fucked him up. ate some keyboards at work idk #and celia? oh boy celia definitely works for aomething pn the putside and infiltrated the govt to gwt some inside stuff.#shes seen and knows it all... whether from tapes or its her she knows about the multiverse #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers

Law thought he'd need to change the world to honor Cora's sacrifice

But he was already living Cora's legacy: Simply by being with the people he loves, the family he created for himself in the wake of Cora setting him free

You'd almost expect Law to wander alone for years after Cora's death. And in a different story? I think that's likely what would've happened so the MC could finally show him what love means

But Law met Bepo and the others within a few days of Cora's death

And so Law fulfilled Cora's dying wish — continued to fulfill that wish everyday after that, even — without ever realizing it. There is something so devastatingly beautiful about that

#It's the intrinsic value in all of us #the relationships we create #and how those things truly ARE enough when viewed through the lens of unconditional love #/CLENCHES FIST AND CRIES #To understand what the heart pirates represent; I think you really need to read between the lines #People get hung up on power-scaling but that stuff is honestly SO irrelevant here??#in the same way whether Law would change the world was irrelevant to Cora.#It's simply about how much Law loves them #and how much they adore him in turn 🥹#trafalgar law #hearts pirates #bepo #corazon #donquixote rocinante #one piece #my meta #text post
