#tragedy looms

Death looms over Vanny's shoulder in FNAF..

[canisalbus]

One day I hope to have the fondness for my ocs that you do. Yeah, sure, their tale is tragic and ends sadly, but that doesn't stop you from giving them tender moments, or from making aus where they live happily. You care so much for Vasco and Machete, and it's so endearing to see all the soft art of them

Aw geez ;-;

Thank you! They are my darlings, of course I care about them terribly. And even of I can appreciate and see the value and impact of a good tragedy, I also yearn to see my dogs happy and safe, even more so as time goes on.

It’s just…so painful to watch Armand readily submit in order to obtain the love he so desperately craves. And while it’s most assuredly a manipulative tactic, it’s still one borne out of fear and desperation. He cannot lose this person he’s come to love and so will become whatever they want, do whatever they want just so they’ll stay with him. But it won’t be enough. No matter how much he acquiesces or seeks to control (himself, others, the environment), he won’t be able to make Louis stay with him in the perfect life, perfect self he built in the hopes of finally being loved. It will all crumble with Armand left alone in the rubble of what he created, the author of his own abandonment.

Orym snapping back at Dorian with that gut punch was him finally snapping a little. He likes Dorian, a lot. He trusts him, thought he could understand. Ludinus is the danger, any plot of his is the danger.

Dorian’s trauma is very recent, it’s fresh and raw and burns. But Orym’s is old, not quite festering but not quite healed. It’s long burning hot cinders, low and deep and difficult to put out. His trauma is rooted into him and puts him at direct odds with Dorian rn. Bc Dorian thinks, “Maybe Ludinus plan is how I get revenge. How I might make it right. Maybe then I can heal.” But for Orym it’s the opposite, it’s “Maybe Ludinus’ death, the foiling of all his plans. The end of him. That’s how I can finally rest, finally maybe heal, finally have some justice(/revenge). How can I finally put it right, this time I will save my people -the people.” They are pulled apart from each other due to the circumstances of their life, which have already been written. How do they go against,each of them, what is now near their very core?

like. does romana keep putting eris on missions with narvin because she thinks he's just the cutest little thing on gallifrey and he's her favourite or is she explicitly trying to ruin narvin's day. they're like a buddy cop movie that sucks 🥰

Unrequited love with Choso :(( ... but you end up in the warmth and comfort of Gojo's long arms.

I think vashwood was made for sadly slow dancing in dark, rundown hotel rooms. This is my firm belief 😌

I went to the Titanic exhibition in vegas where they have an actual chunk of the hull they raised like 25 years ago and spent 15 years meticulously preserving, and besides the slightly weird tone where they set up human stories but then don't really deal with the gravity of "and then they died horribly" and skip straight from 'there was an iceberg' to 'we found the wreck' because its fundamentally a entertainment exhibition by a company trying to sell stuff (and on a broader scale, sell stuff they looted off the wreck to collectors) in the middle of a glitzy casino, aside from that, there was a review by somebody who was like "its just a bunch of plates and then fake replica stuff" like are you illiterate did you go to this sortofmuseum and just go "hmm fake" on the basis of what, that one room was a replica of the grand staircase, therefore everything else is also a replica? Insane.

430 for me felt big and meaningful and HOPEFUL and 431 is like… lackluster. I don’t hate it, I see some people’s concerns with it for sure, but it just feels so BLAH. Like you, I really liked the openness of 439’s ending! There was hope!!! There was love!!! Izuku could still be a hero!! It was so good for me.

431 feels…unnecessary. I don’t know if it added much. There were other things I would have liked to have clarity on instead.

Meh. Really mixed feelings for me. But what I really loved is hearing how much Izuku LOVES teaching. He didn’t SETTLE for a job that was good enough. He’s genuinely loving his career and what he’s doing. And now that he’s able to be a hero with everyone too, he really achieved his dream!

-Wonder

Wonder! ❤️

I have to agree with you about Izuku loving teaching. It makes my heart happy. Teaching really fits his spirit. He's always been good with children and was supported the most by his teachers, it makes sense he'd love taking on the role for the future generation.

But like you said I feel like I would have liked this chapter to be a happy send off. A celebration. I understand what Hori was going for with getting a glimpse into the grief that remains as well as the perspective that the heroes have a chance to explore who they are outside of their work (I feel a lot of those emotions are probably what he's feeling as he finishes the series and he's channeling it...)

But this is the LAST chapter. We may never see these characters in a full canon setting again! It would have been nice to see them all off happily, maybe get a glimpse of them after they're all in a better place. Like show me Todoroki making chopsticks and leaving offerings at Touya's alter, show me Ochako finding peace from Toga's death and happiness beyond overwork, show me Bakugou doing guest lessons at UA to teach the cocksure kids like himself some humility, show me Deku's suit in action and what it's capable of, the power it can replicate, show me Izuku's new "I'm here!" moment, the reaction of the public to see him back in action, TOSHI'S reaction to him back in action. Show me Izuku visiting other schools to share his experience (I'm assuming what he shares is the narrative from his notebook, what we've read throughout the series but show me).

With a whole extra chapter it would have been nice to end on a warm note. 425 - 430 already struck the melancholy chord and then 430 ended with that hopeful note! It would have been nice to stay there. To say goodbye to these characters and see them in the midst of happiness, rather than struggling through a new journey to find it.

/ spoilers for both marius and luke's enduring light cards

okay so both are pretty solid tragedies and i enjoyed them (i.e. i cried) but i kinda wish that the afterstories didnt exist. even if i hate bad endings and love happy endings, the afterstories' smooth explanations and "fixing" undermines the card story's whole impact as a tragedy. it's like saying DONT WORRY THEY SURVIVED at the end of romeo and juliet. tot needs to commit to when a card is gonna be a tragedy and stick with it instead of waffling around like this cuz it defeats the story's intent/impact

[noctumsilenced]

WHAT KIND OF TRAGEDY ARE YOU?

doomed from the start

there was no way of winning, and you knew it too. but you still tried. you tried again and again and again to change it. you fought tooth and claw to change your fate, but she cannot be easily manipulated. it’s not your fault. the game was always rigged against you. from the moment you entered the narrative, your fate was sealed. you didn’t stand a chance.

TAGGED BY : a bunch of people tbh ...

TAGGING : anyone who sees this and hasn't done it !

Gehrman, the first Hunter is as emotionally charged to me as Go to Rakuen and there has to be something i can do with that information

[spittyfishy]

gimme izuru bingo, he's my blorbo but still xD

Lol I’m not the biggest Izuru fan, he was neat in the anime but didn’t get a chance to do anything really in the game

I was starving for some more Hershel Layton content after discovering The New World of Steam trailer that came out a couple days ago, so I decided to scroll through the character summaries of the anime series Layton Mystery Detective Agency: Kat's Mystery-Solving Files and...

That man cannot keep a crumb of serotonin, can he?!
