I see a lot of people upset about William Kaplan being dead and no one mourning him cus Billy stole his body and I just don't see it that way. The kid in Wanda Vision is Billy Maximoff, The teenager at the Bar Mitzvah is William Kaplan, the Teen that got taken to the hospital after the wreck is neither and both Billy Maximoff and William Kaplan. That Teen went home with the abilities of Billy Maximoff, to the home of William Kaplan, with memories of neither and lived there for three years. He cares about Rebecca and Jeff, he lied to the to protect them from pain, they are his parents. He wants to find Tommy, he has magical powers, he wants to know who he is. All of these things are true. I wouldn't say William Kaplan is dead he just doesn't remember, like Agatha wasn't dead when he was Agnes, she just didn't remember.

getting to know each other

they got stuck in the Void(?) for an indefinite period of time…without Ink's brush and vials.. they have nothing to do but talk i guess..(more thoughts in tags)

related to this thing with sci and this red ink thing

I wonder if Fyodor has kept his distance from Atsushi until now because Byakko's claws can cut through skills. I wonder if this is the moment Atsushi could use his claws. Would they slice right through Fyodor's borrowed body to tear him into the same ribbons as Shibusawa?

Is Fyodor afraid of the absolution Atsushi could give him? Or is he starving for it? Is this what he wanted all along? To find Atsushi at the end, to break him until Byakko tears through Atsushi's flesh and into his?

Nothing is hollow; Fyodor is just so hungry for scraps he can't bear to eat that he calls the viscera contracting around his aching gut nothingness, and garnishes his desires with incorrigible sin because then death might taste like salvation. He craves blood but hates when it touches him, because blood and viscera are too warm, too human; and he isn't that, even though he loves humanity so desperately that he's resolved to leave only when he can take the entire world with him.

How fucked up would it be if the real experiment of the Social Experiments beyond Showfall testing out a live audience with their show was them actually genuinely shutting off their control on Ranboo and maybe temporarily(?) Charlie’s during act 3 (while having the full ability to flip it back on if/when wanted) to see what they would do and how they would react if they ever actually started to broke free, so Showfall would be able to predict and squash any attempts at getting out if something ever went wrong with their fan favorites in the future.

old 2020 era NJPW Fantasy AU pieces — the setting features a world that’s scared of magic, BC is a cringefail bandit gang, and this loud lanky ex-acrobat they picked up at some point turns out to be a Mage; more in the notes

i wanted to write a post about how soul is such a victim of character assassination in this fandom but for now im just going to post this

is an animal that lashes out when cornered evil? after all, a snarl of either sort looks the same

Why doesn't Joey just beat up Kaiba? I'm sure he can take him in a fight

Don’t doubt that he’s tried 😭 he tried to throw hands with him literally the first time they interacted in the first anime episode. He tried again fifteen episodes later, but as it turns out Seto is stronger than he looks. The guy did take out a guy with a gun with just a card at one point.

But I think if those two were left alone long enough they would start straight up brawling with their bare hands.

Hellowww obssessed with EPIC still

Had a thought

Listening to Mortius and Casper react to the Ocean Saga, they pointed out that theres a considerable tone shift for Odysseus in "Luck Runs Out" especially considering he just lost the first men in 10 years, including his best friend

Now the question

Could the shift of tone in "Luck Runs Out" to Odysseus sounding weirdly optimistic be because

1. he's in denial and desperate, straight up "ignore the past and go home asap have a mental breakdown later"

2. he's putting on a brave face for his crew so they still believe in their captain and general who got them all through the trojan war even after what just happened

3. he's trying to live up to Polities ideals as a way to "Remember Them" as he promised three songs ago

4. he's slowly descending into madness; and its all three of that

Or is there another reason (canon or not) that could explain that?

My personal favorite will be number 4, he's taking another step towards madness, being in denial about what just happened and trying to hold out and show a brave face to his crew to show them he's still capable and wanting desperately to believe in Polities ideals

I did some miscellaneous doodles for the There's A Place For Us AU because these doofuses live in my head rent free thanks to my own doing. I should get around to drawing more of the kiddos too but I will admit I have a weak spot for the OG siblings. One day I'll figure out Sukuna's tattoos so help me, even if drawing chrysanthemums will be a hell of my own making.

Half of this was me trying to figure out how to draw them at certain/younger ages and the other half was me trying to figure out which features to shift because of different genetics and showing where they look similar, etc. I'm still feeling the latter out so don't look too closely lmao. They're supposed to be freaks of nature anyway <3 (except for Panda, he's just the baby and a carbon copy of Masamichi)

Now here's the thing about the monster au werewolf pack:

They're still technically a pack. You can't really break that kind of bond once it's made unless the pack member trying to leave fucking dies or something. And Quackity (and his canon ex Missa) and Spreen (and his canon brother Missa) and Missa (and his canon ex Quackity and his canon brother Spreen) still hang out pretty regularly! They spend their full moons together and they go out for breakfast the morning after and they hang out in the woods when they aren't too busy to.

But then there's Roier. He spends his full moons in his backyard sulking in a dog house he built himself and he chugs a cup of coffee in the morning after and he doesn't go into the woods anymore because he... doesn't have a reason to. He likes nature and hiking and shit, but he just... can't. Anymore. It depresses him, so he just doesn't go.

*video by a self proclaimed historian archeology with mary on a cross dramatic beat in the background fake crying hand on mouth in instagram reels* here is a funeral epigraphy of this young roman lady who got murdered by her husband! People especially men were such beasts right then and haven't changed much! *shows epigraphy where parents of murdered girl both father and mother denounce their daughter's murder as something abominable and either way Very Much Not Uncaring of the girls fate*

Can’t make a whole fic out of this one cut scene (well yes I can but I’m very busy rn) but for my AU I’m just picturing a scenario between SMM and Don where Don is still on bad terms with Joe and doesn’t know how to fix it. He’s more annoyed than actually upset, with basically no remorse for his actions.

He doesn’t treat Joe with the respect of an equal (clearly) and— being a fellow monster, he asks how he keeps “his human” (dragon chan (his BOYFRIEND)) “in line”.

Oh boy does that set Macho off.

He is geniunely upset because he loves him and that’s why they’re together?? Like

“He’s mine, but he’s not mine.”

The fact that Don viewed Joe as more of a pet than a friend becomes very apparent to Macho. And that is very eye opening for him.

Don views all monster-human relationships that way, and the fact that he would ever think of him and Dragon that way made him sick.

Macho is rightfully pissed off and tells Don that… you know… that’s his problem. Joe obviously figured that out in some capacity and doesn’t like being treated that way.

Don blows him off at first, but once he sits and thinks about it for a while, the gravity of how he’s been treating him all this time sets in. He goes into a full on panic.

also sorry if you don’t want to be tagged in this @oohbuggypie since it’s not a whole fic or anything but I know you were curious about everything that happened between Joe and Don in my fic so here’s a lil insight 👁️👁️

i wanted to make a post about a thing but the more i think about it the more i want to say and it's just going to end up being a big ramble essay, so instead i'll just give the thesis statement, thusly:

as the #1 Ratgrinders Apologist (self-appointed), of course they're the final boss fight to the death. i expected nothing less and the people trying to make discourse about it are ignoring the entire context of this being a Dungeons and Dragons game
