hotd writers thought Rhaena's Vale plot was too boring for tv so they stole a black character's plotline to make a white character more interesting, and they thought we wouldn't notice because they made the Velaryons black in the show (and yes, Rhaena is still written as a white character because she is Valyrian, and the racially based discrimination and violence book Nettles faces has been erased) 🤡

a happening in the harrington house circa 2010-ish

(aka another example of Eddie being a kind, loving, gentle parent like Wayne was to him and Steve being absolutely fine with his children being mostly feral as long as they’re alive)

“Dad, am I adopted?”

Eddie blinks, then furrows his eyes as he looks at his seven-year-old daughter, Robbie (who he hadn’t even heard come into the room, to be honest), because he knows that he and Steve have been very upfront with all three of their children about how they’re adopted.

“Yes,” he tells her, “You’re adopted. You’re all adopted.”

“Then how come Hazel and Moe look like sisters and they don’t look like me?” she asks.

And Eddie feels his heart break a little bit.

“Oh, sweetheart,” he says, running a hand over her curls, “Well, first of all, you all look very similar, and you do all have the same mom, 100%. Sometimes genes are just weird that way.”

Robbie scrunches her nose, “Jeans?”

“Uhh…” he trails off, scratching his head and knowing full well he barely made it through sophomore biology (and that was almost thirty years ago).

When Steve comes home thirty minutes later, he finds Robbie Skyping with Dustin in Indiana and he’s got his camera facing a white board while he talks the first-grader and her middle-aged dad through a very basic explanation of punnett squares and genetics.

“What’s going on?” he asks skeptically, dropping his backpack onto the counter.

“Uncle Dustin’s showing me why me and Moe aren’t related,” Robbie replies, not taking her eyes off the computer screen.

“No,” Dustin cuts in emphatically.

Steve looks at his husband for an explanation.

“She thinks she’s not related to Moe and Hazel because she doesn’t look like them,” Eddie tells him.

Steve’s eyebrows fly up as he looks back at their daughter.

“Robbie,” he says, “Where’s your head at? You and Moe have the exact same face with different hair.”

“Moe has brown eyes,” Robbie fires back.

“And Hazel has blue eyes just like you. So what? All three of you are basically identical. When you and Moe were little, you were so tall that people always told me how cute my twins are.”

yEARS later, Moe and Robbie do that tiktok trend where the camera switches back and forth *very* quickly between their faces to show how similar they look, and their friends all comment shit like ‘wow y’all TWINS twins’

@tmaynt Day 14: Favorite Turtle Movie

im late but its fiiiinnneeee aaaaaaa

I LOVE the Batman vs TMNT movie. It's like the perfect combo between gritty/serious and funny. For a movie that's only like 90 minutes and is partly also focused on Batman, this does a wonderful job of fleshing out the turtles character and dynamics. And it's got so many good quotes

(I was also going to draw something for the Rise movie, because I love that one too, but I ran out of time, but know it is very close behind this one. And Turtles Forever just behind it)

Momo confirmed: there can never be a Banri-centric three:vale

And actually, his logic behind this is really interesting. Because at it's heart, the difference is that with Banri, Momo could never have formed the same sort of codependent relationship that he does with Yuki. Banri is capable of taking charge and taking care of himself, and so Momo wouldn't feel the need to step forward and try to help him.

Hell, it's only after he realizes that no one's taking care of Yuki that he reaches out to him in the first place. Momo establishes very well in Re:member that he needs to feel needed and useful to feel loved, or to express his love, and Yuki lets him do that in spades. Banri, though. Banri doesn't need someone to dote on him (or at least so judges Momo) and therefore Momo's acts of service (his declarations of love) are unwarranted at best and unnoticed at worst.

Whether or not this is actually true is a whole separate question. Banri does seem to rely on Momo when he's helping them out backstage (Momo valiantly kills the dreaded spider for him) -- but he does it in a moderate sort of way, taking the time to make sure Momo's not overexerting himself (ie, when he's lugging around more equipment in one trip than he probably ought to be) and that he is generally taking care of himself as much as he's taking care of others.

But Momo seems to want someone who relies on him too heavily. He needs to devote himself fully and completely to another person (perhaps because he feels he can no longer fully devote himself to his own dreams, so he seeks some other outlet, someone else's dream to latch onto to replace that). He gets drawn in by Yuki's sopping wet meow meow nature and the fact that Yuki so clearly needs someone to take care of him, because Yuki is the only one who enables him to express his love in the way he wants to. Needs to, perhaps. Regardless of how (un)healthy that expression and the resulting relationship is.

That's why MomoBan won't work with just each other. That's why they need Yuki to draw them together: Momo needs someone who he can devote his everything to, and Banri can never be that person for him.

Hey Chara, how's it going? What's your favorite food? Can I know stuff about golden flowers? What's the meaning of love to you?

* Greetings. Thank you for checking in on me!

* Ever since Frisk left the underground, I am no longer bound to their location. Instead, I am bound to the room just beyond the barrier. Looking on from the same angle I've always seen this world.

* I would have loved to go with them, but that was always wishful thinking. In the end, I'm content with their happiness.

* But I'll always have you to keep me company. We'll be together forever, won't we?

* ...My favorite food is chocolate. But you already knew that, didn't you?

* ...It's tied with pain.

* The golden flowers came from my village.

* Biologically and botanically, they don't really have any particularly noteworthy qualities over other flowers. I just like them.

* Love... is a complicated thing.

* If you had asked me this after I first fell, I would have told you that love is a weakness that can only get you hurt. A sickness that I had allowed myself to become chronically ill with. In this world, it's kill or be killed - metaphorically.

* My time in the underground, with both Asriel and with Frisk, changed my view of the world.

* Now I think that love... isn't so bad.

* I wish I hadn't been so reluctant to open up to the Dreemurrs. They were only trying to help me.

[EDIT 4/18/24: The following text was originally in the post, but then I realized it contradicts Undertale's lore so I edited it out.]

* The seeds must have stuck to me when I came to Mount Ebott, because after I fell, they grew in the spot where I landed.

* In the end, Toriel decided to bury me there, among the flowers I so loved.

* ...

As several of my mutuals have said before a lot about Terunosuke's treatment in canon is rooted in a lot of colorism (not just him getting an extremely harsh punishment for no real reason, but other details too like him not even being given a name for a long time). It makes you think about the way he would've been treated if he had lighter skin instead- especially since he's the only DiU character I can recall with a dark skin tone.

Y'all do know you can't make Jason be NOT white without changing his whole character, right?

For other characters, yes, because their physical appearance are not that influential in their story, on how they are viewed by people, on their personality formation — you can have a black/asian/indigenous/arab/brown/latino/etc Nico and yes, the hate he gets will have a undertone of racism but at the same time nothing significant on his story, motivation or personality will need to change. This is also true for other characters: Clarisse risks repeating the "aggressive WoC" stereotype but the character itself doesn't change.

This isn't true for Jason, whose main character trait is how he is perceived by others and how he showcases himself to others based on that perception. (specially with how little effort Riordan put on him besides making him perfect-er Percy who's somehow also weaker and less important than him).

Let's not pretend a black, Arab, indigenous, Asian, Latin man, etc, in the USA would ever be treated with the universal reverence Jason gets from New Roma, you can't have the illusion of perfection and most of all, of invincibility they have about him when you see him suffering racism or xenophobia in the middle of a mission. In theory, nothing in his life has ever gone wrong, that's his image, destined to be king, he is supposed to have no weakness on his peers eyes.

He is not trying to prove people wrong, he is trying to prove them right; he isn't worthy despite their prejudice, on the contrary, he only tried to make himself worthy to fulfill their expectations. He can't be a woman or an immigrant or have a visible disability or any other thing that strays him from a perfect ideal by western society standards, and be that same character.

Doodle udea hut what do tbe boys (+ Clara) look like when wearing Cloaking Brooches?

I've never actually thought of what they'd look like with cloaking broaches (except for once for a fic with Mikey). So i kinda just came up with these on the fly lol.

But yeah, here's a few basic sketches of them in plain clothes and ninja attire (i wanted to see them both with and without masks. Some of them look better in masks than others lol.) If i ever end up using them they'll probably change depending on the au, but yeah. here yah go.

and a bonus Clara

i may go back and ink/color these. but i'm leaving for a weekend trip very soon so i don't have the time right now.

Thank you!
