there's something to be said about the choice to use "prince" as the main signifier of military rank for the andalites. because it kinda obscures the truth of the situation, doesn't it? a group of kids getting magic powers from an alien prince sounds whimsical and delightful. a group of kids getting pulled into a war by an alien colonel sounds tragic and horrible. the slow reveal of what "prince" actually means over the course of the early books is perhaps the most underrated twist of the entire series, because it fundamentally recontextualizes the entire premise of the series without the reader even consciously realizing it.
#i feel like there's probably a good analysis you could make about how the title of “prince” shapes jake's arc throughout the series#like it's very clear how ax ascribing that rank to him affects ax's own arc#but i think there's something there about how prince elfangor remains a beacon of respect throughout the entire series#while prince jake becomes more bloodstained and morally burdened#and the few times he invokes the prince title himself are fascinating#eh maybe a topic to think about for another time#animorphs#andalites#idiot teenagers with a death wish#koolmathgames.com

oh hey! i was reading a fic the other day where Wangji was once misspelled as Wangu. which leads me to: MDZS Pingu-style??? noot noot!
Do you think love can bloom on the sea ice?
#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#digital art#Club penguin#ask#I've drawn a lot of strange crossovers for MDZS but this one really takes it up a notch#I saw this ask and thought “yeah why not. I've been meaning to do style studies. Let's experiment.”#And the moment my pen hit my tablet I was struck by the need to make it even worse.#Perhaps I am just nostalgic for club penguin and pengu but I think there is something magical about them holding hands.#Anyways I think younger WWX would have loved club penguin. It's the joy of the minigames and hanging out with your friends online.#Lan Wangji could never get past the fact the 'Ask your parent/guardian!' part of registration.#Either because he knew Lan Qiren would have said no *or* because he asked once and got turned down.#Lan Xichen probably was like 'Hey I can help you with that :)' to which LWJ said no because that was breaking the rules.#But if I *had* to put wangxian in a club penguin AU? Yeah 1000% it's LWJ as a mod and WWX as a notorious (nootorious) griefer.#WWX would be trying to speed run how fast he can get banned or how much he can get away with.#Getting removed and returning over and over earns him the 'necromancer of CP' title in the community. Loathed by many.#Meanwhile LWJ is about to seriously consider doxxing this guy just to get him to stop making his volunteer hobby less of a nightmare.#Cue 10 years later. They meet up on the ice flow on the last day before the servers get shut down. They have a genuine heart to heart.#Three years later on Club Penguin rewritten: two grown men decide to relive their childhood one more time.#Fate draws them to the same server.#I ask again. Do you think love can bloom on the digital sea ice?

#omg nobody look hes boobs.#kind of. close enough. this is probably the most you'll get from me in that department i get scared#ANYWAYYY. lalalalalalala#blargh that 3rd ones older but it looked funny w only 2 imgs#id in alt text#gordon freeman#barney calhoun#my art#half life#freehoun#waves my hands around#Alternatively titled gord asks barney 2 come down 2 the labs and help him out after HEV training. And they're gay about it 🙄#the. umm uhh. taking some job bcos they’re the only place thatll hire you after dropping outta college and with nowhere else togo#and then you meet some guy and it rules and then hes in way too deep for being 27#and then youre worried & your heart hurts more for someone else than you thought it could#and u know u gotta keep an eye on him cos nobody else is. or something ?#<- copy pasted from discord but my point still stands

more ff7/first soldier ranting. laughing my ass off that sephiroth's little dream sequence of his perfect reality involves his mommy loving him and making him his favorite food, because my poor son. wants family more than anything else. and thats it
and then Angeal has a fantasy of being in Genesis' shoes and everypony loving hiiiim and complimenting hiiiim and he's the one that invents banora white juice and he's the one that's well-read and ambitious and everyone's sooo proud of him
and im laughing my ass off bc he's had such a complex about Genesis since CHILDHOOD and has just been taking constant potshots at him struggling to find a way to knock him down a peg because of his blinding envy. yeah here's your unconditional hero everyone. mhm. yup he's the most honorable guy here. the stupid fuck who fantasizes about doing everything genesis has ever done while constantly putting him beneath himself because his pride is incandescent in spite of not earning any of the accolades Genesis worked for. yup. total team mom there
#ooc#angeal wasnt a team mom and he probably couldnt even cook#genesis did a shit ton of research and worked his ass off studying to make banora white's global because he's a hopeless romantic#angeal looked at him and thought “well if I was in his shoes i could definitely do all that”#when this dude hadn't even READ loveless. his supposed best friend's special interest#when genesis quotes it and hojo quotes it back. angeal asks hojo what theyre talking about#WHAT DO YOU MEAN... ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT GENESIS' BEST FRIEND?#or was that title just something he used to elevate himself above other people. hm? hmm?

... wait, isn't this basically almost all the caretakers/moms from each dorm? *SLAP!*
#the timing of the screenshot while Romeo doing his beauty routine ashsdjdkkfll#whatever conversation's going on in the rightmost table is enough to make people steer away from sitting near said table#Rui was just telling Sho what anomalous plants he grows in Obscuary that can be used as human-safe food ingredients#and then there's Haru who's just chilling in the corner with Peekaboo#ah yeah a very peaceful gathering of the (probably) most overworked ghouls in the campus#except for Mortkranken ghouls...#there's an ongoing debate about who should be considered the number 1 caretaker in Mortkranken#some people believe it is the captain who should hold the title#but some others agree the vice-captain is oftentimes tackling the more cumbersome problems whenever Yuri is too busy with his research#at the end of the day it doesn't actually matter because none of the two could ever make it to the gathering rip#tokyo debunker#tkdb#tdb#clouve's tkdb brainrot

You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

A lost little king, seeking advice from all corners of Azeroth, finds himself searching for this 'Loa of Kings'. He is surprised when he finds it's someone he's met before...
#world of warcraft#anduin wrynn#Vol'jin#Ugghh Anduin and Voljin are my favorite Alliance and Horde characters and I want them to talk so badllyy#LISTEN THEYVE GOT SO MUCH IN COMMON#Both were nearly killed by Garrosh and played a big role in the Pandaria story#Both lost their fathers too soon and were leaders too soon and have been betrayed by close friends#And both have had a peek into the Shadowlands in ways theyre probably still processing and could bond even over that#Anduin is questioning his ability to be a leader at all and Voljin is still figuring out who he is when he keeps stumbling into titles he#wasn't fighting for#Warchief and now potentially a full blown loa like#I just think theres alot they could speak on and that Anduin could use the perspective of someone like Voljin

I have to weigh in 'cause while I am definitely a service-top Erik truther, I do agree with the previous anon who said he could be a sub/top. I think his control freak personality becomes too much at times and he needs to CHILL OUT and relax a little, and the best way Charles can help him do that is by taking control from him in bed and ordering him about, but with Erik still 'topping' it lends the illusion of control while stripping the actual responsibility of decision-making from him.
the council's come to a Rather Unanimous Conclusion oh wow that was easy
#nsft#cherik#snap chats#i did my laundry while making this post hey guys !!!!!!!#the assignment was understood people came to DISCUSS OK THANK YOU TEAM#megatron pfp im afraid ill have to automatically agree by that merit alone. also you Genuinely put it best i think#i could not have made any better notes that really is it. For Me anyhow#'krakoa charles is a twink thats the end of the explanation' dawg im CRYING JVLKJAELVKJEAKLJ real though#on the note about movie!charles tho i think the funny/ironic thing is the only nsft fic i read was where m!charles was domming#cant remember the title all i know is telepathy was involved and erik was in a meeting so naturally it was cinema#that absolutely does not narrow it down in the slightest probably but anyways#thank you for the morning discussion chat it was necessary for my brain worms

How Homestuck Beyond Canon Candy Timeline has/will have parallels with Homestuck proper around and during the events of [S] Game Over
Jane Crocker heavily aligned/influenced by with Crocker Corp. Notice how her neck accessory looks very similar to the Crocker computer tiara. There's also the circuits surrounding the button, which are reminiscent of Crockertier Jane's visual mind control effect by The Condesce.
Jane also kind of looks like The Condesce with how she's silhouetted here.
The head of Crocker Corporation on a large Crocker space ship. A ship which I would like to point out looks eerily similar to the ship that The Condesce flies around in except the forks/sporks are facing the opposite direction and it's got black on it instead of mostly red.
Jake dying at the hands of Crocker influenced Jane and coming back to life parallels with this Jane coming close to killing Jake, but stopping right before death. Same green text too.
The cast of characters surrounding this time in the comic are also similar.
We also got the whole Crocker laser beam of death being hinted at which we've absolutely seen before.
I talked about this in one of my previous theories, Jake is getting a better grasp of his hope powers; so, I think we could see another hope explosion again in some capacity out of Jake's concern for Tavvy.
I could also totally see Jake being held hostage by one of the Crocker Clones A.K.A. the Brig Boys and Kanaya cutting them up with her chainsaw (hopefully avoiding Jake).
This is more of a little side detail, but Vriska is once again on the sidelines while this massive important fight takes place because she's trapped in her own personal Hell this time.
CHARACTER DEATH FLAGS - I don't know how to organize this post and there was a lot more potential evidence to this than I thought there was going into it.
Let me preface this with the fact that the existential split between Meat and Candy sometimes seems to try to course correct itself and much like certain peoples DNIs, it doesn't want any doubles. We see this with Dirk, Dave (he died even if he ascended to ultimate self afterwards), June/J/John, Terezi(seemingly), Meenah (her other self is in the black hole with Lord English so we can't necessarily confirm death but yknow), Aradia (is just Aradia), Gamzee, Calliope (that is a whole complex situation), and Rose (if her future sight is correct, but we'll get to that). Those are the only examples I can think of at this time, but it's absolutely a repeating pattern of the universe sort of course-correcting to have only one of each of our main characters exist at a time. This, at least in the cases of Dirk, Dave, & Rose seems to be related to the ascension to ultimate self, but we can't really say if that's why the other characters only get one existence at this time.
Karkat has has at least 2 deaths from around this time, one involving Crockertier Jane as well which could be a sign of things to come.
Rose's death flag is that she has literally foreseen her death in her future sight. She is thinking about Kanaya and Roxy in the same thought process while seeing her own death, feeling full of regret (even though she's trying to repress her own feelings) about her relationship to Roxy and Kanaya. Very similar to her being regretful as she was dying in Roxy's arms. I'm also guessing the bullet that hits her will be from Jake's gun, just throwing that out as a possibility.
ROSE: What... ROSE: Happened to me? ROXY: the witch got u ROXY: with her fork ROXY: but youre gonna be ok ROSE: Oh. ROSE: That's nice. ROSE: *Cough.* ROXY: maybe you uh ROXY: shouldnt try to talk now ROSE: You saved me, didn't you? ROXY: ... ROSE: Thanks. ROSE: But, ROSE: She's gone, isn't she. ROSE: For good, I mean. ROXY: ? ROSE: I saw her die. ROSE: And. ROSE: It's a shame how... ROSE: *Cough.* ROSE: A shame that I never even... ROSE: Got to tell her... ROSE: I loved her. ROXY: who?
ROSE: Kanaya. ROSE: But... ROSE: You too, mom.
Kanaya also has a death flag here in getting hit by The Condesce's laser beam of death, but it's more of a maybe given that we see Rose's future vision of Kanaya holding her body in her arms. Keep in mind though we also had this bit of dialogue about the reliability of future sight right before we saw that vision.
JADE: dont forget im more than a little versed in future sight myself ok JADE: i dont care how credible it seems, you cant depend on that information!
Jake and Jane are also on the chopping block potentially, but I can't think of a way at this time, unless Kanaya mistakes Jake for one of the clones amidst her rage and ends up cutting through him along with the Crocker clones. The one pictured below was done by Aranea who is out of the story. Maybe Meenah's trident hits Jake somehow or something, I don't know. We also have meat Jake and Jane who are doing more okay.
On top of the parallels to the doomed timeline that was [S] Game Over, we also had Vriska say that this reality was fake and didn't matter. I'm paraphrasing and I don't know if we'll get a doomed timeline situation yet with the 4 kids still in it, but I just thought the amount of parallels was interesting & worth pointing out.
I also wanted to get this out before the next update in case it's related to the flash animation and any of my predictions come true.
Alternatively I think the flash animation will be Ultimate Dirk kick starting his SBURB home brew session on Deltritus. He probably has all the tech and narrative powers to do it based on what we've seen, they just need a species they'll both be satisfied with as the players for the session.
#I wasn't sure how to title this hs theory; can you tell? Wanted it to be accurate; this isn't the clickbait video site lmao#sorry that some of the image qualities vary; I couldn't be bothered to find specific pages in the long labyrinth that is act 6 and#ended up just using a summary video for some of these because that was much easier. There is so much to talk about I'm probably going to#miss something in HSBC so if anyone has anything else to add onto this post feel free to do it. when I tell you that formatting these#colored text chat logs was a nightmare; I mean that. Every time I saved the draft it kept glitching the chat logs too. Kept having to fix.#there's also some characters like Roxy where we don't know what she's up to in the candy timeline as well as Sollux and John/June Egbert#Also Calliope are any of them preparing for this fight or have some kind of plan? Captor could help but would need cover while he blasts#Anyway this mostly started from Jane's whole batterwitch vibe she has going on with Crocker corporation and her laser machine#hopefully Kanaya will be okay; but I'm definitely super worried about Rose atm and Jake too; also what's going on with Tavvy#Candy Jane as the new condesce it's not looking good for Commander Karkat Meenah or Kanaya.

shoutout to media with only one female character that’s just a vessel for a sexual assault and/or pregnancy plot line with very little or no characterization beyond that
#inspired by#mouthwashing#there’s other media this relates to#I’m just thinking a lot about this game right now#idk I love the game and its art direction and the story is still amazing#it just sucks that anya wasn’t as developed as the other characters#and felt like more of a tool to make jimmy more of an unsympathetic asshole#almost everything about her revolved around jimmy#I guess you could make an argument that since jimmy is an unreliable narrator that anya’s lack of character is how he views her#she’s nothing to him#but even the sections playing as curly she falls kinda flat and still involves jimmy#idk maybe I’m being too critical#I’m just kinda tired of plot lines like these#where women are reduced down to their trauma and that’s all they are#not saying they shouldn’t exist!! they are still valid stories#I just wish they had more tact#I understand though that this is an indie title with only so much time and resources to put into such a big project#and I understand that more time was probably put into the art direction and gameplay and coding than just some extra lines of dialogue

one thing that's good about every version of cherry magic is that by virtue of its core premise, and, indeed, the full title of the japanese series (Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!) you know that you will be getting at least one character who is at least thirty years old. and i can't tell you how much i love when characters are at least thirty years old. it's excellent, we should do more of that
#the thing about Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! that one might not expect#when reading a title like Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!#is that it's actually very sweet. and kind and thoughtful. AND it's about someone who turns thirty (and becomes a wizard*)#(* whose only power is mindreading. truly this title sounds so wild but the show is so deeply low key considering)#anyway. i think it's probably for the best that the thai version went with only 'cherry magic thailand' but also. it's such a missed chance#when they could have gone with Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! Thailand!#and then presented us all with this even LOWER key thai style reinterpretation of the story (which i deeply adore)#*#cherry magic#cherry magic th

#bg3#astarion#rhylolin/lobo (oc)#kar'niss#drider#baldurs gate 3#driftoodles#alternative titles thst were suggested have been: the monster mash; two charlatan party crashers and their plus one#a drider a lycanthrope and a vampire walk into a bar#etc etc etc i could keep going#i imagine this would be a post bg3 plot thing . dunno what trouble theyre getting into but#whatever theyre up to someones probably gonna have to bail them out. my moneys on gale#with how ive been sketching kar'niss ive been drawing him more emaciated during bg3 bc i noticed his abdomen wrinkles at the bottom which#is a trait of dehydration in arachnids. hes probs not eating very well in moonrise lmao. but i imagine lobo heres been taking p good care#of him. also i think karniss still isnt used to being complimented so every time anyone says he looks nice he throws a fit about it#arachnophobia#but yeah so i try to draw him with rounder n softer features if im drawing him doing smthn post bg3#anywayyys i have a big day tomorrow i wish i had more energy to put smthn neater out but. for now. woe drider#i actually planned on replying to the og ask with more refined doodles but i may do thst later shdkdnkd

hihi! not to pressurize you into giving it away 😭😭 but I have my curiosity about how long of a fic is jadeite ginkgo exactly. ITS NOT LIKE IM READY FOR IT TO BE FINISHED ANY TIME LONGER!!! i absolutely love and adore that fic 🫶🏽 I'm just shooked by how you plan out these long fics oml
also I would love to draw something related to jg again soon if I get the chance and time !! <33
i can only give you a rough estimate honestly bc it is a known fact that I Do Not Control The Fic Length. it just happens. so uh- i'd say at the very least ten more chapters, probably more. most likely more. watch it be longer than cyanide. i don't know man (gn)
#i hope this doesn't sound like a werid response it's just i genuinelly have no clue hahaha#believe you me i'd love to!!! i think it was in a similar ask that i mentioned the power i'd have if i could actually know like#how many chapters a fic would have with certainty#because then i could coordinate chapter titles#which i wanted to do for jadeite but i think that ship's long since sailed#once the fic is over i'll tell y'all what song i wanted the chapter titles to follow#still feels kinda spoiler-y to mention it rn#maybe it isn't but idk#anyway#the use of pressurize here instead of pressure is absolutely sending me. ik it's probably a mistake i know i make those a lot#but still. hilarious mental picture thank you#anyway aaaa sorry i can't give an actually good answer. it always happens when ppl come asking for fic lenght lmao#thank you <3 <3 <3#ily <3

everyone saying ghost shannon shows up in 707 ‘ghost of a second chance’ or 709 ‘unfinished business’ but have we considered……
episode 708 titled ‘step nine’ ? we have talked before about the many parallels between bobby and eddie…. who’s to say they can’t have a character heavy episode at the same time as well?
#eddie diaz#bobby nash#shannon diaz#evan buckley#buddie#tagging as them bc we all know lol#911 spoilers#911 on abc#im also probably wrong and stupid#but its crazy how that scene could exist in literally any of these eps#based off the titles alone
