“My disagreement with you,” Ben starts, voice soft and cold and tempering a lifetime of bitterness, “has a little to do with the manner in which you publicly and savagely humiliated a child in the course of you refusing him as your padawan, yes.” Ben inhales deeply and stops walking, turning on Qui-Gon in the empty corridor. “But my real disagreement with you, as you call it, has much more to do with how you have proven utterly inept in accepting the fact that Xanatos du Crion made his own choices.”

#OH I ALSO FORGOT TO SAY i tried to draw the lip incompetence here...heart <3#a doodley#there's something here abt like.#ok i think present day talon wouldn't shapeshift FOR anyone even if he did have the energy to do so#even before he began starving himself he wasn't a huge fan of shapeshifting#as he didn't want to lose his sense of self especially wrt his family and community and such#so i think here it isn't that he's doing it for smunker#more like he forgets about his changed eye color bc its not like he sees them as often as he sees his own hair#he does prefer his original dark brown eyes though so its more like oh shit i forgot yeah sure#we can give the hair a break ill humor you a bit#(also of course he gets to a point where he has enough energy to change most anything he wants#but the lavender eyes are important for me to make him look scary LMAO. i just really liked the thought of him liking his#hair so much that its the equivalent of older person dying their grey hair black ykwim...its endearing)#like he likes looking old but calls it when his hair starts falling out...he likes his hair to be its original black...idk!#there's still Something there he cares about

it's like, i really do enjoy most of the bats as characters and i really do like a lot of their comics. but also i am sooooo tired of them being hailed as better than literally everyone else. both in fanon but also in comics (modern ones are esp egregious imo, like WHAT was that shit about batman and the joker being the most dangerous men on the planet. hi. have you heard of lanterns? speedsters? supers? actually if i keep listing groups who could kick batman's ass we'd be here all day). they're like kudzu. that shit needs to stay in its native environment (funky little neo-noir detective stories) and stop being an invasive species (putting down everyone else to make them seem cooler). put bruce wayne back into a murder mystery setting that isn't about saving the world but is about saving one person or one family that no one else would've saved right now or so help me god. the whole invasive species cross contamination thing is unhealthy for both him And the other ecosystems he keeps getting transplanted into. please. it's so dark in here
#rimi talks#imo it's also like a massive escalation problem like Everything has to be huge immense world ending bullshit plots#rather than ''i am going to solve a local mystery to help local people'' things. which are important also#um. points at action comics 792. you see like superman does here? caring about one person who someone thought wouldn't matter to anyone?#sorry im just going to go on a superman tangent but ac791 and 792 both absolutely gutted me and everyone should read them#both are pretty standalone and both ruined me#one is about something tragic that happened when clark was in high school#and just wanted to try and help a girl everyone was bullying for being fat. and they became friends and had a good time at a dance together#and then the second one is about him noticing the chatty guy who runs the newspaper stand where he stops sometimes is missing#and then just stopping at nothing to try and find him. even though he's someone he barely knew outside of being a regular at his stand#and it just really got me. my god. more of that pleaseeeeeee 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕

some future bits of creme uni where sm grabs two of pv's patients and makes them start fighting for reasons that he does not explain to his husband beforehand and he will get his head ripped off about (literally)
as always more details in the tags
(non-text version 'cause its fuckin' funny)
#cookie run#shadow milk cookie#espresso cookie#pure vanilla cookie#shadowvanilla#creme university au#madeleine you are only mentioned so you aren't getting tagged buddy sorry#basically sm is training them in two of their weaknesses#madeleine has a huge magical surplus and defense against dark magic but a lot of the building of that magical defense was done via fear#and espresso has fucking 0 stamina in a fight not to mention is trying to work through a problem with his emotions controlling his magic#leading to literal explosive behavior if he can't keep it in check#so what better way to train these two than making them fight!#both of them are under pure vanilla's care and he is NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS#foolish professor boutta get divorced and he doesn't even know he is married#shadow milk thinks hes doing good though cause he sees that both have unresolved trauma holding them back#and what better person to help them through it than each other ya know?#although he probably kicked the shit out of the two of them beforehand as his way of pointing out their flaws#also fist fighting myself to post unfinished shit cause it'll likely never get finished

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and
a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and
b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!
I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!
It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.
Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).
These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.
I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕
#honkai star rail#this can be ship or plantonic tbh yall are always free to tag my ramblings as you please haha#just! they're so sweet!!#FWENDS#i would love to see more of them being a dynamic duo further down the line ♡#i think the film moved things along a little quicker but the real life Cassidy and Sundance were actually in south america for a few years#they fled there to get away from pursuers along with Sundance's girlfriend Etta Place.#supposedly they managed to buy a small ranch and the three of them lived peacefully (and even lawfully!) together for like three years-#-until the law caught up with them again#at some point Etta Place returned to the US reportedly due to illness rather than not wanting to get caught like in the film#Sundance may or may not have escorted her back. but whether he did or not he returned to South America with Cassidy#the two of them eventually got into a huge firefight with authorities where Sundance was fatally shot and Cassidy chose to end his own life#that's the most common story anyway. some also say Cassidy snuck back into the US again where he lived quietly until his death.#but it reads kind of like rumors of Elvis Presley sightings to me BSMZKNSKS#the film ended much more happily with the two of them getting into shenanigans and a freeze frame of them in a hail of bullets haha#i wanna see Dan Heng and Boothill fight together too it would be so cool aaaaaa#they would be great at getting into shenanigans! as we've already seen!!#fun bonus info: Boothill's ult literally puts black bars at the top and bottom of the screen to look like a widescreen Western movie#fun bonus info 2: Cassidy was regarded with respect by some people bc he never stole from the poor he only robbed big companies#this is actually nicer than Boothill is in canon bc he openly admits he will rob someone blind if he doesn't like them BSKZKKZMSKDK#(although I feel like its implied he has more standards for this than he gives himself credit for.#like he makes it pretty clear he doesn't particularly like Argenti at first and thinks he's annoying as shit but I'm sure he didn't rob him#...would have been real fucking funny if he did though oh my god I would love to see him try that. it absolutely would not work BSKZKNSKSJS#hsr#henghill#bootheng#dan heng#boothill#hsr boothill#hsr dan heng

I wonder what Kyoko would've thought of Shigure. She's the only non-Sohma adult in the series who's also in his age group (albeit barely - she's about a decade older than him) and I feel like her optimism combined with her no-nonsense sensibilities would've been an interesting foil to Shigure's morally grayness hidden under a cheerful exterior.
They probably could have bonded over pursuing socially unacceptable relationships and being outcasts in their family (if Shigure was ever able to be even slightly honest with her, that is). I don't think they'd have hung out often, but in a Kyoko Lives AU where Tohru befriends Kyo and Yuki, it's likely they would've had to meet at least once or twice. I can't tell if they'd like each other or if it'd be more of a "polite acquaintances" sort of thing. Probably some awkward mixture of both lol.
#drafting a longish post ab kyoko and this popped into my mind#kyoko is roughly 36 when she dies#and shigure is 25-26 when the story starts#so they're at least in the same generation#i think shigure would've benefited from having regular contact with an independent non-sohma adult like kyoko#though tbh i'm questioning whether kyoko would have even liked him ahdjajdjdkdjnadjdladjd#she might've guessed that he has a lot of shit brewing beneath the surface and decided his vibes were rancid#though the fact that shigure in canon has a soft spot for tohru makes me think she'd warm up to him eventually#hey wouldn't it be funny if she was secretly a huge fan of his novels#fruits basket#kyoko honda#shigure sohma#sage speaketh#au tag#edited for your convenience#(<-added some wording to clarify my points)

Someone just said that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was boring because we didn't get to know in the end why Snow became evil...
#congratulation for not getting the kilometer huge point#that he is simply a bad guy#always has been#simply a shitty personality who is power hungry and got the good chances to act on it in#how can you miss such an important and fantastic choice#i remember being anxious that collins will go the anakin skywalker way and write a tragic villian#who became evil after traumatic experiences#but i knew i can trust our queen#and she wrote this guy who even though went through a lot of stuff get the chance multiple times to be good#she even put there tigris who is in the exact same situation as him but stays good#and we just got more and more thoughts from him that showed how terrible he is#perfection#coriolanus snow#president snow#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#the hunger games#thg#suzanne collins#my ramblings#not star wars

okay so as a gen 5 stan who does adore the story in bw and bw2, and now that gen 5 has experienced both a vicious hatedom that wouldnt hear a single positive thing about the games, and now a super protective fandom that insists they were perfect and had zero flaws... can we admit now that the bw1 story at least was. a little mid.
#just a little. just a little.#i am saying this as someone who adores it and loves the characters a lot#...... but good god team plasma kinda sucks ass as an evil organization#bw2 is sorta better about them with the split factions but in the first game theyre so obnoxious and come across as strawmen#the game talks about how the world is nuanced and not black and white and its not good to take extreme sides#but then. it sorta does that with the protagonists? by refusing to talk about abused pokemon that werent hurt by team plasma?#obviously they are wrong. the game hammers it in with a mallet. but is it really nuanced if our stance is ''ha ha thats silly''#and yeah groups like plasma exist irl but like. as someone who cares abt animal rights and stuff a lot. i feel like they fumbled it here#the answer shouldnt have been ''well ig some pokemon get hurt. we wont talk about them though. watch the grunt kick a munna''#it shouldve been about animal welfare. like maybe instead of becoming assistant professor; bianca couldve become a nurse joy#or she couldve joined some organization that rescues and rehabilitates pokemon from abusive trainers. maybe the reformed plasma from bw2#and before someone goes ''erm its a kids game they cant do that :/ thats too complicated'' first of all- the anime showed a malnourished te#tepig#kids can handle a bit of text next to a skittish lillipup thats like ''its scared of humans'' or something and its being cared for by someo#someone''#plus the side games were tackling much heavier shit at this point#also again they were apparently fine with a grunt kicking a munna and bragging about how he loves doing that so.#like even as a kid i felt like that scene was really over the top and stupid#team plasma feels less like an attempt to do commentary on harmful animal rights ideas that lead to ecofascism and dont care abt the animal#true needs#and more like gamefreak read a lot of obnoxious critical pokemon posts like ''lmao training is like dogfighting'' and ''this promotes anima#abuse!'' and just made a strawman out of those people. and like i agree thats all stupid but it sorta hurts the message of the game#that the world is very nuanced and taking extremes is bad and reductive.#and this isnt getting into poor story and gameplay integration and other stuff like underutilized characters (you know exactly who i mean)#idk. again i still adore the story and have a huge soft spot for it. but i think the only reason people say its perfect is out of defensive#defensiveness and not having engaged with a ton of video game stories. and pokemon stories not being fantastic in general#like i think pla is better put together story wise than this game and its got less going on than this#echoed voice

#the twitter girlies are mad that people are pointing out that a huge aspect of armand/lestat is that lestat looks like marius#'reducing armand's relationship to lestat like that is an injustice to his character' is it though??#because it's true#not only do lestat and marius look alike#but they exude the specific kind of energy that has heads turning that has people wanting to listen to them that has people listening to th#*them#and lestat getting armand out of the children of darkness cult#(even if he didn't actually give a fuck about getting armand specifically out)#is completely reminiscent to armand of marius 'rescuing' him from the brothels#and teaching him philosophies of life and how to live and introducing him to purpose and meaning#the difference is that marius wanted armand and had him#and lestat clocks armand so fast and is like 'absolutely not'#and not only absolutely not but acknowledges that whatever darkness resides in armand would kill lestat with its horror and depth#and this is why i can't take anyone seriously#people comparing louis to marius (not remotely similar in ANY aspect)#people that think armand's love for lestat isn't more of a trauma response than anything else#and frankly this is why i do not believe whatsoever that armand and lestat hooked up in the show world#because lestat will not would not could not#and that's a huge part of lestat's character tbh#and a huge thing that DOES separate him from marius

I feel like Vincent would wear shirts from the brand "Affliction Clothing". Idk if you've ever heard of them but the name alone kinda fits his vibe.
Vincent is a simple man. If sees an edgy pattern of a tortured skeleton, he wants to wear it.
He feels a little handsome in them. And SUPER INTIMIDATING HAHAHA BASK IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR NEW LORD
#vincenttag#Ever since Vincent learned how to make his own freezerpops he's never let go of them#This one is pure lemon juice.#It's tragically bitter.#Vincent doesn't really know how to smile all that well. Looks more like a grimace at this point#Other juicepop faves were: Grapefruit (obvi). Ketchup just because. Chicken broth. Half a container of chocolate syrup. And soda.#Vanillin makes him want to yack and most icies are just... ugh. too sweet. Drowns the palate.#You can never get too much sour though. Unless your mouth starts bleeding then thats just an inconvenience with the trade#Sonia has a huge sweet tooth but cant metabolize all of it too well so she was raised sugar free for her career#she envies vincents superhuman metabolism because he clearly isnt using it for what really matters#whereas his metabolism is waaaay too strong and he has to eat 4-8k in calories depending on how active his flights are to maintain weight#ark_systema

Sometimes Tumblr can be a distressing place, but if I really wanted to suffer I bet I could go on Reddit and say that Kirsten Dunst is a better actor than both Tobey Maguire and James Franco to see what the fanboys have to say to that
#they hated jesus because he told them the truth you know?#the point is i have seen/read some things i wish i hadn't here#but at least most of the spidey fans don't buy into the misogyny surrounding popular perception of MJ or like#go out of their way to laud the male actors for every little quirk in their performance while ignoring the women#and this is from someone who loves tobey maguire and will watch a movie exclusively because alfred molina or willem defoe is in it#kirsten dunst's performance is perfectly on point and i would not change anything about the way she portrayed the character#her career in the years since has also been great even though we don't see her in huge blockbusters anymore#she has more discerning taste in projects

You know, I always headcanoned that once Niflheim got their hands on some photos of the prince and his civilian friend, they absolutely knew that Prompto was an escaped clone. The resemblance to Besithia was obvious, after all. They just didn't bother to do anything with it, since it's not like they need that particular clone and it's not even like Prompto has a sleeper programming.
But in the Spark verse, well. Prompto is a child of an Oracle. And if Glauca is a thing, they might even know about her magic.
Either way, they really want to have her back.
I have been sitting on this ask for awhile, because I love it, but unfortunately the muses are not cooperating with me on it.
In most of my fics, Niflheim doesn’t really bother paying too much attention to Prompto - yeah, he’s the prince’s friend, but he’s civilian, and furthermore, not a member of his Retinue, so ergo, he can’t be that important to the prince. Not enough to be worth investing any resources into whatever aim they might want with Prompto anyway.
But in Spark au, Prompto is claimed as Noctis’ Heart far earlier than normal in an effort to protect her secret, and that makes Niflheim take a closer look at this civilian girl who’s gotten so close to the prince. And you’re right, the resemblance is uncanny if you know what to look for.
I feel like Titus wouldn’t know about Prompto’s magic. Noctis and the others are so very careful to keep her magic under wraps, and the cover of Prompto having Noctis’ magic so compelling, that Titus never realizes the truth.
Now, if they ever managed to get their hands on the Prince’s Heart long enough to somehow learn that carefully hidden truth… well.
That would change things, wouldn’t it?
#ffxv#Spark!Ardyn au#Prompto Argentum#stealing an LCs Retinue is a ballsy move#with potentially huge payoffs if everything goes well#though this could be a potential ‘reveal’ for Prompto supposedly being Regis’ daughter#Regis and Cor doing their hardest to find Noctis’ Heart and bring her home#and maybe one of them or Clarus walking in on Noctis and Ignis and Gladio arguing about whether or not to tell the adults about something#and Regis/Cor/Clarus being like ‘you wanna elaborate on that something?’#the poor Chocobros mentally wondering how the hell they’re supposed to break it to the king that Prompto is his daughter#Noctis does not want to have that conversation#he’s still holding a grudge on Prompto’s behalf#I feel like Gladio would be the one to say it#blunt and to the point of ‘Prompto’s your daughter and she has magic we’ve been helping her hide because she didn’t want anyone to know’#Regis is gonna have to sit down after that one

I've been thinking a lot about how Rook's reunion with his former mentor, Zara, is going to go, and since I can't predict what the DM is going to have her do or say, I can only dwell on what I know is going to happen. Which happens to include taking off the illusion ring that's been hiding his injuries from her. So have a snippet of the description I have planned for that moment:
tw for description of (mostly healed) injuries
He hesitates, twisting a ring on his finger. Looking at it more closely, she can tell it’s very finely crafted, and must have been very expensive. A large emerald is set into the band. Rook sighs, and pulls the ring off his finger in one quick motion. Immediately she’s struck by the difference in his appearance as the illusion melts away. He looks awful. His warm, healthy skin fades to a dull and sickly grey. There’s huge bags under his deeply sunken eyes, and his cheeks are hollowed, as though they have been carved out by an overeager sculptor. He looks like he’s recently risen from the grave. While he was thin before, now she can see his ribs under the skin, and his collarbones are exaggeratedly pronounce. Thin white lines left by dozens upon dozens of recently healed cuts are scattered across his body. On top of that, faded bruises cover most of his visible skin, a mottled mosaic of purple and yellow. They’re clearly days, maybe weeks old, and she can only begin to imagine what they must have looked like when fresh. Bandages are barely visible under his shirt, wrapping around his back, hinting at even more injuries.
#morrigan.text#my writing#dnd writing#oc: Rook#oc: Zara#Poor Zara.#she's gonna feel so fucking guilty about everything that's happened to him in the last 3 years even though it's not her fault.#yes she pissed off Wolf but she had no way of knowing Wolf would go after Rook instead of her.#(I don't even know what she did to piss off Wolf. That's the Big Reveal that's going to happen when Rook sees her again.)#but yeah. Seeing him like this and knowing/thinking that it's because of her actions... it's going to destroy her and that kills me.#I don't know what she did but I *do* know that she never intended for Rook to get hurt. She loves him too much for that.#but Rook could never blame her for anything. He'd forgive her just about anything. And that will probably only make her feel worse.#Rook and his mentors will never ever fail to fuck me up big time.#his undying devotion and naive faith in them which is such a stark contrast to his usual distrust of people.#and it gets him hurt every time even though the don't *mean* to hurt him. But Sigmar's case was definitely much more malicious than Zara's.#this reunion is going to be such a huge turning point for Rook's character and his personal development as a character.#well really it's a combination of things all happening at once that are going to be the turning point.#1) the fact that the party rescued him from Wolf which has literally no other explanation than that they love him and care about him.#2) seeing Zara again and finally getting that closure that he never got three years ago plus being to reestablish the most important#relationship in his entire life. Plus she's just a good influence on him all-around a much-needed source of support after Sigmar's betrayal#3) getting gifted the Tide Breaker (Zara's old ship) and having to learn some responsibility for once in his life will be very good for him#and I guess you could also say that 4) my temporary character Val talking some sense into him has something to do with it lmao.#but we'll see how this all plays out bc while I know these things are going to happen they technically haven't happened yet.#I'm not gonna RP the conversation between Rook and Val bc it would just be me talking to myself for a long time but I am gonna write it up#when we get to that point so I can show it to the DM so he knows what they talked about. Plus it will be a very fun exercise bc Val was#literally designed to be Rook's opposite in just about every way. They're very wise and responsible and Rook is a reckless idiot.#(but I love him anyways.)#So it's gonna be fun to balance writing both of them in the same conversation.#anyways. these tags are SO FUCKING LONG already. If you read this far I'm giving you your favorite dessert and a hug if you want it.#and also pledging you my undying allegiance for life. <3

thinking about how i love murakami’s writing & narrative style, the way he subtly catches the reader’s attention etc etc & and at the same time despise the way he writes women & sex scenes. thinking about how i’m starting to appreciate him while hating the misogyny in his writing, & simultaneously recognising how his culture & upbringing played a major role in forming his misogynistic views & also understanding that he's a man before he's a writer &c &c........
#i have a lot of Thoughts about murakami & his writing#he loves kawakami's feminist works but then again......the way he describes women & their bodies....& also the bland sex scenes.......#the way his limited knowledge (or lack thereof) of female anatomy really shines through.......#but then again. he's rich. famous. the most celebrated writer of japan. brought up amidst the japanese patriarchal society#& hugely male-centric culture. i get why he is the way he is (like 90% of the japanese male population -- not only japanese#-- one could say global population -- except he has a remarkable imagination & a somewhat different approach to the mundane)#so i don't really. side w either those who hate murakami or are obsessed w him.#i love & enjoy his work while simultaneously retaining the ability to recognise & call him out on his misogyny.#<- one reason why i respect & admire makeo kawakami#one should read her interview w murakami where she calls him out on his misogyny & murakami tries to deflect her (valid) points#on a lighter note though. “her breasts breasted breastily” is a phrase i was genuinely prepared to read in a murakami novel &#was surprised when i was unable to find it#anyway. needed to get this out of my system because damn i have some mixed feelings abt this man
