Some of you people don’t know what you are talking about.
#this isn't directed to anyone#but I saw a post that was talking about how the mario movie's actors had to say lines in various ways and then the director picks the best#and the person was saying this is one step towards using actors for ai#and not that things like that isn't a valid concern#but also???? has this person never seen actors voice for animation???#that is how it is usually done especially in the industry#actors are given their lines and they say them in a bunch of different ways#and then the director picks which is the best fit#this has been the process for decades#ofc some voice actors improvise and even work with other people in the room#it depends on the project#but this is why regular actors express how hard voice acting is#it is just exhausting#so yeah idk seeing that post have so many reblogs just got my blood boiling#like why are you all so STUPID#enough of this fear-mongering#ok sorry for this explosion of tags I just needed to let this one out#squack

sure "romantic" isn't the only type of love but also "love" isn't the only type of positive feeling. So maybe stop insisting everyone needs love to be happy and accept that loveless ppl exist? Pretty please?
#man february arrived and im on a roll with these posts#thought to myself 'tumblr could use more loveless-posting'#decided if no one's gonna do it im just gonna do it myself#also this isn't directed at anyone specific im just being salty at random#loveless#loveless aromantic#loveless aro#aromantic#aro#arospec#loveless apl#loveless aplatonic#aplatonic#aplspec#lgbtq#queer stuff

"Realistically an 8/9/10/whatever year old couldn't do that" yeah alright that's true but we're talking about Dick Grayson who is unrealistically hypercompetent full stop because he's a superhero comics character. Bruce Wayne is also extremely unrealistically hypercompetent at basically everything except his own close personal relationships. Superhero comics are unrealistic.
#this isn't directed at anyone in specific and isn't meant to be aggressive btw#i just don't get the fixation on realism in a form of media that's defined by being fantastical#or why letting a child have that kind of fantasy power stretches believability more than an aduit having the equivalent#i'm not super attached to the idea of dick being robin that early or anything i just don't get the mindset#dick grayson#batman

"Jason just needs to see things from his family's perspective and understand how much they love him (despite them never actually communicating or showing him through their actions)" is out. "The batfamily putting a single bit of effort into understanding Jason and reconciling with him on his own terms" is in.

Danny Phantom Prompt: Too Late to Save Them
Ok! There are similar concepts floating either around here or AO3 (or both), but I haven’t been able to find this particular angst path. (Though I’m sure it’s around)
So!
Canon Divergence After TUE (The Ultimate Enemy)
Danny fought his evil self, but was too late to save his family. Clockwork didn’t reverse time to save them— they were always meant to die. It was their “time.”
-------------
“NO!”
Danny was flown backward from the explosion, his body hurtling along with the rubble.
The rubble.
When the dust settled he heard sirens in the distance. Saw. . . a torn red beret beside his foot.
Tucker.
Sam.
His. . .
Family.
Distraught, confused, exhausted, Danny notices a woman crouched down beside him. She’s speaking to him, but he can’t hear her; there’s a dull buzz all around him, and the world seems more. . . narrow. It’s hard for him to focus on what he’s seeing.
And then she. . . freezes.
The world freezes in time.
The ghost, Clockwork, is floating behind her. He has his hand out, waiting for something. His expression unreadable, but Danny understands.
His fingers lightly grasp the thermos holding his future self. As though in a trance, he lifts it up to Clockwork. Gives him the thermos.
Clockwork accepts it, continues looking at him impassively.
Resumes time.
. . .
The days go by. He is released from the hospital in the care of a caseworker. She is talking to him gently, but he doesn’t hear what she’s saying.
He's had many people talk to him, so many people gazing at him with pity. He can't be bothered to care.
He is led to a car, someone buckles him in. The car begins driving, and soon is parked in front of Fenton Works.
His home.
The caseworker is saying something. . . Something about his aunt Alicia. He ignores her, walking into the house.
Into the lab.
He hears her scurrying after him.
Ignoring her cries of alarm, he goes into the portal.
…
He floats in the ghost zone. A few ghosts attempt to banter with him, push him around; but noticing his non reaction, leave him be.
He can’t go home. Can’t go to Vlad. He has to keep his humanity to prevent becoming a monster.
But how can he keep what he can’t feel?
He’s lost them all.
But he can keep his promise.
“Don't worry. I won't turn into that. Ever. I promise.”
He floats further and further into the ghost zone.
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dcxdp#danny phantom fanfiction#canon divergence#the ultimate enemy#danny phantom#phanfic#angst#danny phantom prompt#ptsd and trauma#Dani isn't here in this timeline#Vlad hadn't made her yet (though he might have been toying with Danny's DNA before the Nasty Burger explosion)#Dark Danny is in the thermos#Danny hasn't met Frostbite yet#Everyone is gone#I have four different options I'm interested in pursuing; I'm sure there are more.#Option A: Frozen in time#Option B: Walkers Prison#Option C: Skulkers Island#Option D: Aunt Alicia#I tagged this dpxdc because I'm planning on Danny meeting the DC characters in these different options.

i will forever defend these two- NOT to start discourse but they are both so heavily mischaracterized by the fandom its INSANE like omg yes they are flawed but they are also trying their best PLEASE leave them alone 🙏🙏🙏
as usual im yapping in the tags if anyone cares
#rose rambling#this is not directed at anyone#just some observations within the fandom ive noticed#i genuinely sympathize with jayce sm he may be making mistakes but he is trying his best under a stressful position#that he didn't even want to be in in the first place#there isn't a LOOT of people who are anti ekko or anything but he's genuinely so erased from fandom spaces#NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HIM and it makes me sad#or they completely mischaracterize him as this like emotionless stoic badass???#he literally cried during our first intro to him when he hugged vi but! sure!!!#but yea jayce and ekko are both of my favs#jayce is a problematic fav and ekko is an unproblematic fav who has done basically next to nothing wrong#jayce? hes flawed.#he killed a kid#hes classist#hes lowkey a capitalist#but he cares sooo much ab people around him and prioritizes viktor and mel over everyone else#even though everyone around him seems to only want to use him#and ekko? he was forced to grow up without the guidance of someone like silco or vander#he was ALONE when he built his safe haven#and he is so caring and emotional and SWEET and people just disregard so much of both of their characters#i could give character analysis' on both of them for HOURSSS#arcane#arcane theory#arcane ekko#ekko arcane#ekko#arcane jayce#jayce talis#jayce arcane#arcane jayce talis

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

So I spoke somewhat about my thoughts on Emanator Sampo here, but I never really thought of it from a design point of view or what kind of powers he would have until just recently. But I actually kind of love leaning into it from a "stage hand" perspective?
Because like. Aha's body in THEIR official art is completely black, giving attention to all the fun brightly colored things around THEM. And that's so fitting for Sampo! He usually prefers to be a side character. He likes to act from the shadows. His is a much more subtle hand.
So I wonder if as an Emanator, a lot of his clothes are actually very dark? Not necessarily plain, still extravagant and needlessly detailed in things like cut and quality with lots of different fabrics and textures and ornamentation, but dark. Or maybe even his skin itself becomes blackened further down his body; his hands in particular are dark, as a sort of sleight of hand reference.
The motif of a lot of straps wrapped around him like in his canon design is still present, but they're all loose and flowing off of him like paper streamers now instead of restraining him or holding him together. He is no longer contained! Or maybe they're still a bit more rigid/heavy, but just draped more like red stage curtains!
And this is like. Fully self-indulgent, but I love inhuman designs, and there's nothing in canon to say I can't do this, so screw it! Go for broke!! Maybe it's not visible to normal people, but Sampo having a second set of arms would be really cool, as further sleight of hand reference. One set is almost normal looking, but his hands are a bright, attention-drawing white, and the other is dark, set almost in the shadows of the first arms, to act less noticeably.
He also has something of a broken heart design to him in canon (the front of his black shirt with its jagged shape down the middle; his coat looks like a full heart shape in the back), and I actually like him keeping that element as an Emanator, because I think it suits him. Sampo says his taste in aesthetics and views on Elation involve human dignity,
and the story he helps create in Belobog involves the long and winding road of resistance and survival and eventual triumph in the face of some very adverse, oppressing odds. (I'm pretty sure I heard he once called Wildfire "artless" though, plus the man acts like he thinks Shame is some kind of dessert, so like ndkdjzjskkd) But the point being!!
I think Sampo is someone who can appreciate heartbreak and angst and tragedy in a story, because it makes the victory at the end all the sweeter. And this would be another thing he shares with Aha, because I think THEY did bless the Mourning Actors partly just to be a little shit, but also because Aha does recognize tragedy as part of THEIR Path, too, and you can see it in some of the game. So a broken heart motif can still suit him, and I like him having elements of both comedy and tragedy. Like his clothing having a happy sun/sad moon (like the moon in Aha's art) or him having both of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks in his design.
And as Emanator, Sampo can maybe play with the stage settings environment, too. Like lights sometimes behave strangely around him, appearing blindingly bright to someone or dramatically dark. Sampo wills it and suddenly there seems to be a metaphorical spotlight right where he wants everyone to look. And when he doesn't want to be noticed, his face seems to be cast in shadow, he seemingly just fades into the background, no one notices or recognizes him and he sneaks away easily. He can create smoke or fog literally out of thin air without his bombs now, too, the air will just suddenly thicken until his stage is obscured, and Sampo can set the scene as he pleases or disappear without a trace.
And in line with being a stage hand, Sampo can direct attention like no other. He was already extremely good at this as a normal mortal, and becoming an Emanator only took it up to 11, past human limits. Sampo points, and all present feel compelled to follow his fingertip. He looks away, and they all follow his gaze. He can even affect the mood of an audience; he can influence everyone to be calm and placid or he can whip them into a feverish frenzy. Sometimes a crowd will start to become unsettled, agitation stirring until it boils over, until it incites a full on violent mob.
And in the middle of all that chaos will stand one perfectly calm figure, face cast in shadow, until they quietly slip away out of sight.
#sampo koski#hsr sampo#emanator sampo#hsr sampo koski#honkai star rail#hsr#they were talking about Emanator Sampo designs in the Sampard Nation server one night and somehow THAT was what got my mind going fjkdaljfk#there was also talk of him making monsters explode in confetti or making their heads pop off like a jack-in-the-box (my contribution hehe)#which is hilarious but just wasn't super relevant here jfklasdj#(I miss bouncing around ideas like that...if anyone knows another sampard server or even just a sampo-dedicated one hit me up!)#(i would love to join and would probably even have friends to bring!!)#but anyway yes I love Emanator Sampo being stage hand themed haha it's very fun with him#I have a lot of screenshots so I wanna try to use them for things like this more!#I think its in SU where it says Aha isn't as powerful an aeon as some of the others like Qlipoth or Lan or Nanook#so I like Sampo's powers being less direct and not just pure destructive power like a lot of the Destruction Emanators#it lets you get real creative with it <3#maybe next I'll bring over my thoughts on his mask design? Ooh but I wanna talk about Geppie too...#Geppie protecting his soldiers from Cocolia or the actions he could have taken or his very sweet relationship with Bronya-#-or him being inspired by Serval or his HILARIOUS relationship with Pela...#Decisions decisions...

I stand before Cardan, and he looks mortifying in his beauty. He carelessly slumps down on the sofa in his chambers, blissfully unaware of my anxiety. Or, worse, blissfully aware.
“I ought to be mad at you,” he says, and I almost flinch at the sound.
“As I said, I didn’t kill my husband, Your Majesty,” my voice shakes, and I hold onto the hope he will think I am holding back tears.
“Yes, that would be correct. Your husband is sitting in front of you, well and alive. Is he not?”
viivdle productive era??

KID LEO FAQ!
Will Kid Leo turn back to normal/Teenage? - yes! That's the goal of the au. The goal all of them are striving for. I hate ending things without wrapping stuff up so he will go back to normal eventually.
When will Kid Leo turn back to normal? - whenever I say so :) It will happen eventually, I don't want to spoil the plot.
How far are we into Kid Leo Au rn? - Currently, we are about halfway through the plot (the answer for this changes based on time)
Why is Leo a Kid in the first place? - It's explained for the most part in the comic, which you can find here!
Why is Leo wearing glasses? - I made a Turtle Tot comic a couple of years ago in which Leo needs glasses and then decided that the Turtle tots timelines and the kid leo timelines are the same. You can read that comic here, as well as find the follow-up on the Turtle tots comic master post. You can also read the 'Glasses Intermission' here.
Is Kid Leo autistic? - yes, I write him as being autistic. It started out as me just writing him 'like I was' as a child, which turned out to be autistic.
Are the spinoff comics canon? - no. I don't like drawing them and they can't be canon based on the lore I've already decided for the kid leo au.
Will the Spinoff comics ever return? - No, unless I decide to do another comic collab. As previously stated, I don't enjoy drawing them and people keep thinking they're canon :/ I also don't have any further plot ideas for them? Since they aren't what I had in mind for the Kid Leo au I tend to not have ideas for them :/

I think some people treat Astarion too much like a fragile porcelain doll sometimes.
Listen, I completely understand the instict to be super gentle and never push anyone to do something they don't want to. But that's just the thing. Astrion doesn't do it if he doesn't want to. If you don't push him into sleeping with you in act II, he doesn't. If you don't have enough approval at the party, he doesn't propose sex. He WANTS to. The reasoning behind why he wants to may be a bit fucked up in the beginning, but if he didn't at least like you a little he wouldn't bring it up. If he didn't want to try experiencing other forms of sex again with the drow twins, he wouldn't agree. In fact, if you ask him before his personal quest is over he tells you pretty plain that he doesn't want to. He's very clear about boundaries and consent is VERY important to him. If he doesn't want to, he won't. This is also demonstrated with his reaction to the astral touched tadpole. It's a VERY clear "no".
He wants to enjoy sex again. He wants his mind to match his body's desires. He is SUPER into the player. He wants to be able to have that kind of intimacy with them.
Does that mean he doesn't struggle still during the act? Of course not. Healing isn't linear. I remember shortly after a particularly bad experience my body would refuse arousal. I was with someone I love deeply and my mind was in the right place, but my body just refused to cooperate. I feel like Astarion goes through something similar, but reversed. His body takes over (muscle memory most likely, he's done this MANY times) and his mind receeds. Having an orgasm while dissociated is not a pleasant experience. But again, if he didn't want to try, he wouldn't. He can communicate his boundaries and when he feels uncomfortable. It's not the players job to protect the smol precious sex repulsed bean. He's figuring it out on his own terms and the best thing the player can do is listen.
#I know this is a weirdly direct way to refer to a fictional character and he's not real#but idk I've just seen too many fics and takes with this mentality lately#of this sweet uwu broken man who doesn't know how to voice when he doesn't want something so you have to do it for him#it irks me#being someone who has gone through something similar.#This isn't to make anyone feel bad#it's just my thoughts#baldur's gate 3#bg3#bg3 astarion#baldurs gate 3#astarion ancunin#astarion#romanced astarion#astarion baldurs gate

Live picture of my reaction every time I see someone make a headcanon that Tyler is an irresponsible student like this kid isn't trying his best to keep his grades up really high while being a star athlete to get a college scholarship, despite being stuck in a nightmare dimension with creatures that want to kill him for seven whole hours every day and not knowing if he or his sister will survive long enough to actually have a future:
#i'm going to commit a murder#if ppl don't stop mischaracterizing him#like him and taylor are both responsible students that are working hard towards their future#why is that so hard to understand#Like NO#HE WOULD NOT SKIP ASSIGNMENT TO GO HAVE FUN#DID NONE OF THESE PPL READ CHAPTER 48 & 49#THIS MAN HASN'T HAD FRIENDS OR FUN UNTIL VERY RECENTLY#HIS PRIORITY WAS TAKING CARE OF HIS FAMILY AND MAKING SURE HE AND TAYLOR BOTH HAVE A FUTURE#I'm done ranting now#sorry#this isn't directed at anyone specific#I was just angry so no bullying#school bus graveyard#school bus graveyard webtoon#sbg#sbg (webtoon)#tyler hernandez#taylor hernandez#hernandez twins
