#they’re not the same thing

Age of Calamity is such a funny game when you think about it because most of the characters go through Events and use their strengths and suffer hardships and stuff, but honestly they mostly end the game the same as they started it. It’s not “bad storytelling” or anything to have most of the main characters (Link, the Champions, Impa, etc) not change very much character-growth wise, I’m not insinuating that. They’re heroes and it’s fun to watch them BE heroes and in some cases have nice heartfelt moments together, etc.
But it’s just hilarious to me that the characters in the game who DO get some form of character development arc are:
3. King Rhoam (a distant third place but he does realize his kid’s interests were helpful not frivolous and he apologizes and lets her continue leading the army and fights by her side)
2. Zelda (expected, she is the main character after all, and she gets to grow from doubting herself based on her father’s words and how special and talented everyone around her seems to be in comparison, and being upset at not being able to help more, to realizing her worth as a capable leader whose love and passions were what saved everyone)
1. MASTER FUCKIN KOHGA (goes from trying to peace out and let his lackeys take care of every fight, to desperately NOT wanting to leave Sooga and the others behind (poorly and obviously hiding it behind “come on stick together so you can protect me!” while he as the PC for your first play of that mission is clearly doing all the work to protect them); ends up not only joining Zelda’s faction to protect/get revenge for his Clan despite his hereditary beef with the royal family, but PERSONALLY taking to the battlefield including in the final deadly dangerous missions; declares during that final battle that HE is gonna “send that giant menace packing,” ie the very same monstrous entity he previously served)
Like. It’s not even close. Master “Top Banana” “Kill You All To Death” Kohga. Has THE most character development in the game.
And it’s just. So unexpected and therefore great and entertaining to me.
#kidk says stuff#legend of Zelda#age of calamity#master kohga#yiga clan#age of calamity spoilers#I am insane about him sure but I still believe I’m objectively correct#some of the others (yunobo & riju come to mind) get small ‘gains more confidence in abilities’ moments#link is a very fun protagonist and ALL the characters are my favorites BUT#if we’re talking ARCS…yeah#this isn’t even considering headcanons—this is all in the literal text of the game#ps to be clear I’m NOT saying ‘Kohga has character development bc he ends up siding with Zelda/hyrule’s royal family’#I’m saying he has character development bc he ends up against Ganon for the safety of the clan and isn’t a coward about it#they’re not the same thing#I have complex feelings/headcanons about the clan’s allegiances but this isn’t the time for that!!

re: my most recent original post. i am mostly only actually upset about the situation because it sometimes strikes me as one of those ‘this mental illness is ok until there are antisocial (inconvenient or occasionally harmful to others) symptoms’ things. i’m not saying i’m in support of people hurting other people here but people act as if if your mental illness has ever caused outward discomfort or harm you’re irredeemable and bad sometimes. these people are sometimes ofmd2 fans, too? and they like ed? but they get by by saying he never did any wrong because of [excuse, excuse, excuse, lie, blatantly ignoring canon to the point of contradicting it, etc] instead of accepting him as a character they like who has FLAWS and has made MISTAKES. like he’s not acceptable or worthy of love until we remove the parts of him that don’t always mesh well with other people. it’s just such a bleak pattern and outlook to witness as a mentally ill person living with trauma and disabilities.
#ofmd critical#i suppose#does that count anymore? at this point i’m critical of the fandom#the writing was bad and they didn’t really resolve ed’s problems which felt incongruous with his ending this season#but the character they (seemingly unintentionally) created#he has problems#i don’t think that makes him evil#but i don’t think he never caused harm either#they’re not the same thing

it’s so crazy that on tiktok they’re calling ‘hilda huracan’ fleabag coded as if fleabag invented the ‘wanting to fuck a priest’ trope.

isn’t the fundamental tragedy of 18 year old Dick that he wants to be free but instead he is loved and of 18 year old Jason that he wants to be loved but instead he is free
#and neither are happy#dick and jason make me insane a little bit#they’re brothers but they aren’t they grew up together in the sense that they didn’t but they lived through the same thing a decade apart#dick grayson#jason todd#batfam#dc comics

Maybe it’s because I just spent the last four days watching my sister’s toddlers while mildly sleep deprived, but I gotta say Peri has PEAK “childfree young adult who was the youngest person in their family naively volunteers to watch recalcitrant child assuming they’d automatically be The Cool Adult Relative only to realize they have no idea how to balance being indulgent with being responsible and gets overwhelmed within five minutes” energy
10/10 I have never felt so seen by a cartoon before

Can’t decide what’s funnier- Benoit Blanc meeting his husband during a high stakes murder mystery or Benoit Blanc meeting his husband at like, the grocery store
#glass onion a knives out mystery#glass onion#benoit blanc#if it’s the first thing then you know it was a bickering-to-lovers situation#like Phillip thought he was completely ridiculous and overblown#and then they grow closer to the point where they’re flirting while like. some jackass is shooting at people right behind them#just them renacting the scene from clue#‘how do you even get into that position?!’ ‘well here let me show you’#if it’s the second thing then they keep just pumping into each other buying the same pretentious items#blanc just wears him down#personal

like do you knowww what it’s like living as an inconvenience before anything else, living at arms length and no closer. do you know what it’s like having to just watch everyone close to you talk up and pal around with people who vocally, virulently hate you because even if their eyes didn’t glass over when they hear the implication that a person in their life who matters is doing transmisogyny, there’s way too many to point out and way too little patience. and there’s nowhere safe even among other lgbt people. sometimes even especially among lgbt people!
#you can’t even say that people who visibly and proudly are friends with radfems might have scuffed politics when they’re fucking tme lgbts!#people wanna beat you to death if you point out the feinberg thing with adrienne rich#and there’s five million other examples of the same shit#literally infinite second chances when it comes to anything related to transmisogyny#kvetching

Concept thingie for fic (dp x dc)
Danny wakes up in a hospital bed with a stranger at his bedside that calls his name as soon as Danny wakes up and hugs him. The stranger then proceeds to talk to Danny like they know each other and tells them Danny’s been in a coma for 3 months. When Danny says he has no idea who the stranger is, he looks heartbroken. Eventually, the doctor comes in and tells them that Danny has amnesia due to “the accident”, and that he’s lost years (years!) of memory. The stranger, his name is Bruce and he is also apparently his fiancé tries his best to hide how hard he’s taking the news. He’s trying not to be overly familiar, but it’s clearly painful to him, and Danny feels bad about forgetting about him. It really seems like Danny has forgotten years of his life. Except, then he gets a look at the date, and it all comes crashing down. Because, according to the date, it was Jazz’s 25rd birthday yesterday. Ant the thing with that is, he remembers attending that very party himself. Yesterday.
Something is very wrong.
#dc x dp#dp x dc#bruce wayne x danny fenton (or platonic u do u)#My idea was: Bruce and Danny were investigating the same thing which is a jinn or something adjacent#Basically it pulls them both into a “perfect world” and since they got caught together they’re in the dream together#Danny’s got more resistance to the jinn magic coz he’s like a kind of supernatural creature himself and he’d got to convince Bruce#But if u guys got better ideas go for it I’m not the boss of u#Bruce wayne#danny fenton#roxpox

Prompt 185
No one could get into contact with Constantine.
Now usually that wasn’t that big of a deal, the man constantly disappeared for a few days at a time doing something or other, but he’d been completely silent and unseen for months. Usually he’ll at least answer a call to tell them to fuck off or something.
And they really need his expertise and are getting incredibly worried for their grumpy team member. Yes he’s an asshole, but he’s their asshole, y’know? And he has a habit of getting into Situations (sure he also usually gets out of them, but what if he didn’t this time?!)
So they’re desperate. Kind of really desperate. Desperate enough to use the summoning sigil they found on his fridge. They’d checked it, multiple times, and it should summon the hellblazer.
“You’re not Constantine.” .
The white-haired teen in the circle yawned, stretching and blinking at them blandly with familiar blue eyes before sighing. “Actually I am,” he stuffed his hands into his hoodie as he looked down at the summoning circle. “Well, technically just one of the many Laughing Magicians currently in the Realms.”
He gave a grin, looking more amused than annoyed. “Pretty much every one of us is in the Realms right now for family reunion lol. (Did he just say lol out loud??) So like, you’re gonna have to specify which of us you’re tryin’ to summon. Honestly perfect timing for me thanks, the fruitloop keeps flirting with John and it’s horrific so.”
… That was probably their John, wasn’t it…
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#The Constantine Family exists for fucking over entities & manipulating luck#They adore this scrappy halfa who is doing the same with twice the feral#Danny: Yeah I’m like the changeling child that ended up in the middle of them and they just kept me for the laughs lol#Danny: I’m not allowed to join in the drinking competitions#Danny: Oh no it’s not a responsibility thing; alcohol doesn’t affect me and they say it’s cheating#Why Yes Vlad IS flirting with their Constantine#He’s started his redemption but let’s be honest he’s also a con-man & John is all for fucking over the rich#Danny is disgusted at how well they’re getting along and wanted to get away from their flirting while everyone else ribbed at em#Hence why when they all felt the summoning he decided to go#Well that and also for the laughs because he’s learning magic Undead Constantine style#”Fuckin 'ell yeah the family 'as a necromancer in 'he line again look a' 'im go!” (Lots of ghost & living people drunken cheering)#Danny only half fucking with people: Yeah I’m like their collective undead fae child lmao#danny fenton#john constantine

diagnoses u with fanfic tags
yeah i caved. welcome spideysona
their universe is 1990s san francisco. by day they work as a struggling writer for the bugle, sort of following in the footsteps of (movie-adjacent) eddie brock; by night they’re spider-scrawl, fighting systemic injustice, writers’ block, and the occasional mad scientist invention. his world is less rife with supernatural evils than most, but he’s also fucking with the government and corporations and all, so it balances out
their unique thing is that they have, like, shitty meta clairvoyance in the form of inherently understanding tropes, clichés, story structure, etc. like if cinemasins/wins were a superhero. they were approached to join the society because miguel thought they’d be chill or even helpful with canon events—unfortunately scribble here is not whatsoever into following rigid plot structure for the sake of unnecessary thematic suffering, saw the plot twist a miles away, and peaced. but not before snagging a day pass so they could watch atsv in person
they never take off their mask, and no one knows their name—he says it’s because he doesn’t want to lose his identity in a sea of spider-people, leading most to theorize that san-fran-spidey is some flavor of peter parker, but who’s to say for sure? the doylist reason, which he is in fact aware of, is that i don’t know either lol
#spider man: across the spiderverse#spidersona#spider scrawl#spider punk#spider noir#hobie brown#noirpunk#just a tad ;)#brass tacks means facts!#haha do you get it miles like a mile away but miles was the one wh—#so anyway sona shit#eddie in their universe has left the bugle for better things (read: got fired movie style)#still a bangin journalist tho and scrawl aspires to be like him#their deadpool is just as meta as them. they’re buddies#usually i’m not one for sonas but this was fun#static and colors inspired by that can u ever forgive me movie from 2018#scrawl puts on the mask to feel more confident about fighting the system#hopin & prayin it’ll do the same for me :’)

How did Elesa get a Blitzle as a starter if she's from Sinnoh? (hang on this is ironic she could've learned about warden ingo in school back there)
Blitzle Elesa backstory under cut!
Blitzle was gifted to Elesa so she has an “easier time” integrating into Nimbasa by her well meaning dad. This is not the greatest move, since the two feel they are more obligated to stick together then, you know, actually choose each other. Blitzle’s meant to be a utility mon— he helps charge elesa’s hearing aid batteries and basically serves as an emotional support when things get rough. He’s… not the biggest fan. (I like to imagine Blitzle was originally part of a battle track, but his IVs aren’t the greatest so they shuffled him out. He’s a bit bitter about that.)
Inciting incident where they actually start taking the proper steps to becoming partners is when Elesa takes a tumble down a hill and Blitzle twists his foreleg going after her. (Local child eats shit! More at 11.)
They’re just kids, and they’re still learning.
(When Elesa decides to challenge the gyms, Blitzle’s so excited he accidentally trips their house’s circuits.)
((As for Elesa hearing about Warden Ingo, well… that’ll be a future issue.))
((DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY THIS ASK!! TY @scarftale-bryan ))
Yes. YES.
MASTERLIST FOR POKEMON CONTENT:
#boom you get sketches#elesa and blitzle are like. the exact opposite of emmet-tynamo and ingo-litwick i think#while those two WANTED to make things work elesa and blitzle for the longest time just shared the same space and resented each other for it#they’re BETTER now but like… the beginning week was rough#(slaps blitzle) this mf has so many fun traits to project on him. inferiority complex? caretaker burnout? oh BOY.#pokemon#art#sketchbook#hesitant to tag this submas because no patrat children make an appearance#so i shall simply not#myart#ask#mailbox#elesa#blitzle#pokemon elesa#gym leader elesa#pokemon trainer#pokemon bw

If you told me Mr. Snake was gonna have a female love interest in Bad Guys 2 I would be worried. until I saw that she was a BAD BITCH RAVEN and they make out like this. now I see they are taking an acceptable approach 👍
#Bad guys 2#I LOVED THE TRAILER#EHEHEHE !!!#ALL THE NEW CHARACTERS ARE SO FUN#Also they know their audience. This is absolutely like Dreamwork’s zootopia thing where they’re like#How can we cater to adult furries and children at the same time#BY MAKING GOOD FUCKING FOOD THATS HOW#The bad guys#the bad guys 2#movie#txt#Furry
