First impressions!!
A quick doodle idea I had where Axel brings Aim to his parents to properly introduce him. Axel gets called out-
Axel belongs to me.
Aim belongs to @zu-is-here
#undertale au#utmv#sanscest#oc#doodle#what if#errorink ship child#axel#ink sans#error sans#aim!sans#aimel#post dark cream#errorink#i imagine Axel being surprised and embarrased by Error being hostile and protective because he usually never cared about his love life#unlike his sisters lol#“i thought you didnt care!”#“i didn't care because you didnt have KIDS with any before.”#also Ink is that embarrassing parent that loves to make Axel feel flustered because they like to accidentally reveal secrets or do stuff#like excitedly show off Axels baby pictures

There's something so important to me that macaque has only shown physical or emotional affection to mk in current times
Like they are buddies man... macaque cares for mk <<33
#lmk#lego monkie kid#and would it be too bold for me to say he always cared#that macaque never disliked mk but his feelings about wukong overpowered any postive ones about mk at the start#would it be too bold to say that macaque sees the good parts of wukong in mk and wants to protect it#would it be too bold to say that macaque ever since the end of shadow play was trying to help mk despite his life being on the line#would it

You know, the technique of Minato the Hiraishin. There are several variations of this technique, but the one that strikes me the most is when during the fourth war, Genma, Raido and Iwashi teleport Mei Terumi and tell she ‘We can use the Fourth's technique, we just need to do it in a group’ Do you think Minato himself taught them this technique in person?I've always liked to think that they received the title of ‘hokage guards’ because Minato trained them for some time. I'd love to know what you think - your illustrations are great!
Hi!! Thank you, glad you hear you like my drawings!! 💖
Well, the last time I read the war arc was ten years ago with the weekly releases, so my memory is a bit fuzzy (not a fan of the arc so I prefer to delete it from my mental headcanons lol), but I think I remember what you’re talking about! Haha, this is a fun ask, let me ramble about that.
Okay, so… we have three guys around Kakashi’s age (in fact, if I remember correctly Genma is Gai’s teammate), but nowhere near Kakashi’s level. Three guys who were around 13-14 years old when Minato rose to power, and who were, at best, newly jounin or even chunin (again, Kakashi was promoted to jounin at 12 and that was an extraordinary ocurrence. And we can agree that these three don’t have Kakashi’s talent).
And you’re telling me that these three kids were the "Hokage Guard Platoon", in charge of protecting the legendary Yellow Flash himself? Yeah Kishi, no way xD
Since you asked for my thoughts, here’s my headcanon: I think that it was peacetime (so things were more or less chill), these kids probably admired the Yellow Flash and now the Fourth Hokage (maybe they were even his fanboys) and Minato thought it would be funny to keep then around as the “Hokage guards.”
And if Minato is going to keep them around, they need a way to get away fast. Because Minato is not a team player, he is a one-man team: he is very fast, strikes even faster and has the Hiraishin to get away quickly if shit hits the fan. He doesn’t need three kids around in the case someone decides to attempt an attack on his person because they will be more of a hindrance than a help (plus, he already lost two kids when he wasn’t around to watch their backs, he doesn’t need another three dead ones).
So, what can he do to solve this? Easy, teach them the Hiraishin! But the Hiraishin is not that easy to learn, you need the power and the skill, and although these three looked like they had the skill (performing a jutsu with other people as a team has to be much more difficult than doing it yourself alone) they lacked the raw chakra needed to power up the technique, so he modified it for them to use as a team.
TL;DR: Minato thought it was hilarious to have three kids trailing behind him like ducklings and taught them the Hiraishin not to protect him, but to protect themselves and get away while he kicked some ass. They're more like Minato's second genin team than a guard, imo.
#koko talks#minato namikaze#namikaze minato#hokage guard#naruto#yondaime hokage#and that's my headcanon about it!!#honestly this whole Hokage Guard never made a lot of sense to me#like#the Hokage already has the ANBU to guard and protect him if necessary#he doesn't need another guard full of kids to watch his back#in fact this looks more like his second genin team than his guard tbh#anyways thanks for the ask! 💖#please excuse any typo/grammar mistake sometimes my English fails me lol

i wonder if as mike sat there bleeding out from the world's pettiest gunshot wound, he felt a pang of regret for jesse not just because he was leaving the kid alone with walter white and no more buffer for that abusive relationship but because he wouldnt be able to let jesse know what happened. he's smart enough to know that walt is just going to cover this encounter up and never tell the truth about mike's death, which only bothers him because jesse deserves to know that mike didnt abandon him. mike didnt walk out on him. mike didnt give up on him. mike sits there dying and thinks of jesse waiting at his living room window for mike to pull up to the curb and collect him for some work errand. waiting for him. a child sitting on the soccer field after practice, watching the sun fall lower in the sky and realizing that no ride is coming to pick them up. unwanted, forgotten. mike dies before he can reach the field and jesse never learns that in his final moments, mike wanted to tell him "i would never leave you behind."
#syd squeaks#if i think about the tragedy that is mike wanting to get jesse out and never getting to see it.#dying with the expectation that walt will now destroy that kid since theres no one left to protect him.#not knowing that he finally did it this time and actually saved jesse and got him out. i simply um. Ummmm.#breaking bad#i rarely get legit emotional writing this brba posts but this one is making me emotional#mike ehrmantraut#jesse pinkman

Yknow I know lot of people think the young therians mainly on tiktok who make masks and do a lot of quadrobics and wear their gear in public are cringe but like. As a bit older kinnie I remember how strong my instincts were when I was that age, how often and how strongly I had mental shifts, and the mental torture I went through my whole young life before I found out that there were other people like me because I felt like I was some sort of freak and didnt understand why I couldn’t just stop feeling the ways I did
Even if you think it’s cringe I know if I had had that community and that ability to engage with my creature-self at that age I would have felt so much better in myself, I wouldn’t have had the deep set self hatred I did for many years, and I think that’s extremely important. It’s extremely important that we don’t let the young members of our community experience that same pain that I and I’m sure others like me have felt
Also friendly reminder too that cringe culture is fucking stupid, if you’re not hurting yourself or anyone else you shouldn’t be shunned for doing what makes you happy. And that means you, person reading this, shouldn’t be the one to make them feel like they should be ashamed. If you feel like it’s cringe keep that to yourself and maybe do some self reflection on why you would think people doing a harmless activity that makes them happy would somehow be wrong. Cringing is a reflex, but that doesn’t mean you have to act upon it.
Additionally if you’re one of those people that’s against them because “they’re making us look bad”/“people won’t take us seriously because of them”. If people won’t accept us in the full extent of who we are then they would never be accepting of us in the first place. Acception when only in a watered down form is not true acception at all. 
#most of the tumblr kinnie community is older folks compared to the tiktok therian community so I wanted to speak about this#protect our young creature kids like how you wished someone had protected you at that age#also if you’re one of those young therians who does those things seeing this post#I love you and I’m so incredibly proud of you for being yourself#that takes strength that a lot of people don’t have#never stop embracing who you are at the fullest you can be. you’ll be a lot happier in life that way#also additionally if you’re an older person who’s doing those things that’s fucking amazing and I’m also extremely proud of you#I myself only recently was able to get gear things and it’s made me feel so much happier in myself#also also quadrobics are fucking hard do show those people some respect. they could probabaly throw you.#otherkin#alterhuman#dragonkin#nonhuman#therian#caninekin#felinekin#coyotekin#just adding tags for big/common groups#kras rambles

In reference to this post I reblogged earlier, but don't want to muck up UC's activity:
#i think it's more important to see that redemption is in the eye of the beholder #not everybody (characters or real people) will accept the same type or amount of repentance for the same sins #some people might not care at all if the person who wronged them feels sorry; only if they materially repaid their crimes #others can feel the opposite #and either way that's their prerogative #you can disagree with the characters or the fans or the writers about who “deserves” OR has “achieved” redemption and that's okay #because it's ultimately a complex philosophical issue #like i agree with OP!!! but there's media literacy in accepting that not everyone will
I'm going to disagree with many of these tags, especially it being "in the eye of the beholder" and would argue it's more media literate to recognize when a character has a workable redemption arc even if one disagrees they "should" get one. It took me a long time to learn this cuz of how we're usually taught redemption = forgiveness in Western (especially very Christianized, and especially if explicitly raised Christian) culture:
It doesn't rely on anyone but the person seeking redemption.
Yeah, it's the wronged party's prerogative to never forgive, to think the perpetrator's atonement (and/or punishment) is not enough and never will be. Anyone (characters and actual people) who sympathize, and who are on their side, can agree it's not ever enough and that character/person's sins are unforgivable.
And that still doesn't matter to their redemption.
We have an example of a workable redemption arc that not all accept in Final Fantasy XIV with Fordola's situation, through the Endwalker healer role quests. She was raised a collaborator of Ala Mhigo's imperial occupiers, and thought the best way to help her people was to soldier for the empire, becoming their Butcher.
In the Stormblood patches, Raganfrid says he will never forgive her; he thanks her for the aid she gave in the throne room that day, but that's all. And even in the EW healer role quests, their interactions are complicated. He still can't forgive the collaborators, even as he works to reintegrate them into Ala Mhigan society. He recognizes many thought they had no choice. He can't, won't, forget the pain of losing his own loved ones to them. This is stated multiple times.
And others, like M'rahz, Sarisha, and M'naago also struggle, also say they won't forgive...but reluctantly agree they can understand how for the sake of their families, the collaborators felt pushed against a wall, and what lengths have they themselves gone to for their own families? M'naago even scolds Fordola: she doesn't get to give up, she has to keep working--or she dies as exactly what everyone said she was.
Fordola starts out as the one punished for her sins. Through the story, she makes her choices to change and fight and work for her people as a free woman. There are still those who despise the Butcher, and always will. Redemption comes from Fordola's actions, Fordola's choices. Who forgives her and who doesn't can't change that she has changed, and continues to do so.
And in the interest of fairness, for the opposite of Fordola, we have Laurentius. In A Realm Reborn, he collaborated with the empire, selling out his nation. He came out of his punishment wanting a new chance, so joined the Crystal Braves...and immediately fell under Ilberd's sway. While others remained loyal and stuck to their morals (and paid for it with imprisonment or even death), Laurentius went along with all of Ilberd's plans. And in the end, the player gets an opinion in the punishment he and his comrade face, but it's clear from talking to Raubahn there isn't much hope. Laurentius had his chances, but he didn't make any effort to actually change--so faced the consequences.
For Reference for the Healer Role Quests: Garland Tools Healer quest text starting with "Far From Free", and my own saved text in Gdocs (raw, not very organized compared to my later saved/updated docs).
(Nero's the war criminal who...didn't even get a slap on the wrist, he just waltzed into a leadership meeting 15 mins late with Starbucks and has been helping us save the world since. Gaius is the war criminal that went through traumas, saw his privileged preconceptions torn apart, and is starting down that road in the wake of Werlyt to clean up his mistakes and not let his children's sacrifices be in vain. None of these characters "need" punishment to decide to change; some of it simply happens as part of their stories, but they make their own choices and actions toward atonement.)
(Also redemption is usually an ongoing process, which is why "Death Equals Redemption", like how Yotusyu's situation is framed, is so dicey and often unsatisfying; are they actually changed, or they just getting out of putting in that effort to? Nothing indicated Yotsuyu actually cared to change, as sympathetic as she was in the end! But she has her redemptive moment for her fans, and the people who hate/won't forgive her also "win"--the trope is a "have your cake and eat it too" writing cop-out IMO at this point.)
#final fantasy xiv#endwalker#stormblood#role quests#redemption#character arcs#fordola rem lupis#raganfrid bleaker#laurentius daye#yotsuyu ge brutus#I also blame everyone touting Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender as a 'good redemption arc'#when from the start he's a protagonist on the wrong side making bad choices & failing at them cuz he's not as evil as Zhao & Azula & Ozai#he's an antagonist to Team Avatar for much of it yes but he's also in a dual position as we follow his exploits as much as the Gaang#Zuko makes mistakes he has to apologize & make up for but as mixed up as that kid was he never actually hit murderous war criminal#heck his story starts cuz he was trying to protect soldiers from being needlessly sacrificed by actual warmongers#so Zuko the kids show character is Palatable & easy to forgive cuz he's always been sympathetic & Trying to do right but failing at it#but anyone 'worse' than traumatized teen navigating dangerous & toxic situations trying to do what's right w/out knowing what that is - SOL#cuz so many people have never expanded thinking about morality beyond that kids show

For me a core feature of Galex's relationship is that Alex wants to be seen as strong and unflappable and respected and always in control, right. And Gene wants to be seen as a kind of unquestioned alpha male in charge who never shows any weakness and who deserves the blind respect and obedience of the rest of the team even when he yells at them and verbally abuses them. And they do see each other that way, to some extent. But they also both know that to some extent all of that is bullshit, because they've willingly allowed each other to look deeper.
Because, see, to me another key fact about them is that Alex actually really likes being looked after, and Gene actually really likes having someone to look after, and this is each of their deepest and most personal vulnerabilities that they only really show to each other.
And then almost never directly and outwardly acknowledge, because that would mean acknowledging their own secret hidden layers.
They're perfect for each other. But they're horrid for each other because they're both equally shit at communicating or admitting weakness.
This is a long rambling post I just have a lot of thoughts. I just love them.
#see this is also partially related to why I love writing Gene with kids. man has powerful latent mother hen instincts#if you want to look deeper into it I could make some point#about how Gene subconsciously wants to care for people and love and protect because his adulthood was stolen from him#while Alex subconsciously wants to be allowed to be vulnerable#and to looked after and loved and cared for and protected#because her childhood was stolen from her#they're both still searching for what they never had. they're like mirrors of each other#freud would have a field day with them honestly#that woman fell in love with that man when she literally saw him hold and comfort her 8 year old self and tell her he was here for her#insane shit#I'm going to start eating my own limbs#galex#gene hunt#alex drake#a2a#ashes to ashes#keeley hawes#philip glenister

and if i said that i’m on lip’s side in season 4?
#the answer is i’d be right#i don’t condone the whole screaming in fiona’s face shit#but he wasn’t wrong… fiona was refusing to take accountability or responsibility for her literal kids#and then lip calls her out and he’s the bad guy#like ‘i’m not guilty’ ‘it’s never about me’ like- no- liam literally almost died in your care… you’re guilty#fiona also wasn’t the only parentified one- lip was as well#i don’t blame him at all for his reaction and i honestly think he was being incredibly generous#because if i were in his position i wouldn’t want her around liam and i know that’s controversial but you can’t blame him for it#he’s protective as he should be because there isn’t really many people protecting the gallagher kids#actions have consequences and there’s no point in being angry about the fact that fiona needed to face consequences#it would be an injustice to liam if she wasn’t arrested and charged and i stand by that#shameless#fiona gallagher#lip gallagher#liam gallagher shameless#4x05#4x06#4x07

tylor tuskmon core
#tylor is naturally a good scarer and he's also protective of the people he loves!!!!#so i definitely think if he finds out one of his kids has a parent who's abusive he's absolutely liable to break every rule of the monster#world and scare the parent so bad they'll never want to hurt the child again#meanwhile val would stay with the child and protect them and keep them happy and distract them from tylor in the other room traumatizing#their parent and just#okay i need to write a fic about it omw#does this make sense to anyone else?#monsters at work#tylor tuskmon
