might be worth noting that tubbo got lore today because he made it canon he warped back from the boat.
i think this was confusing bc he wasn't sure initially how to play it (he is not a lore guy by trade we all know this), and waffled back and forth with it (with fun bits like "it's tuesday" or "it's a time rift"), but he definitely did make it canon.
he has the story: the boat didn't leave, he had his warpstone. he knew they would just steal him back, like they did the first time.
he has the reason: he desperately needed to see sunny before he left; couldn't sit idly by
and he made it clear that's what he wants to have happened. he told his chat to stop "-rp point"-ing him about it multiple times bc he's trying to make it canon (and told fit the same when he came back post-ghost bit).
he also asked sunny's admin whether she wanted their interactions to be filler or canon and she chose canon
plus he had a canon interaction with forever explaining it and asking him to watch over his daughter
and he and sunny built things and interacted with each other based specifically off the info he was kidnapped, that he will have to go, and that they both knew it was coming
so while you may have to ignore or recontextualize some of the goofier interactions when he initially came back (phil/etoiles/fit stuff esp), tubbo did come back, the code attack did happen, it's already been fit into the lore, and i don't doubt sunny is going to tell fit about it this week!!
Do you ever think about how there totally could have been an old classmate of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the audience during like turnabout sister or turnabout samurai. Do you think they would realize? Like “hey, were those the guys in my class in like fourth grade? I kinda remember them. Wonder if they remember each other. But it was so long ago, I doubt they would even care.” Meanwhile Edgeworth and Phoenix are undergoing the most insane mental battles where both of them are going “I recognize my best friend across the courtroom and I desperately want to be close with them again.” And “god he is so god damn annoying I wish he would die already.”
okay last thing and i know this is easier said than done and i think it's less of final end point and more of a continuous journey but once you let go of your shame and embarrassment over the things that make you happy, you'll have a lot more fun
people will think im ordinary until they say one (1) thing about tmnt and all of a sudden im explaining the entire lore starting from the 1990’s movie & why donatello is the best turtle i fear… T^T
tag limit fights me… i must yap… please listen… SOB </3
I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?
Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?
Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?
How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?
This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.
The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.
Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.
Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).
wow…after drawing all my major ships from over the years recently I started thinking about the various hyperfixations/special interests from which they came…I had estimates for when each one was and how long it lasted, but out of curiosity I just went through to actually check some of the dates on when I was posting about them and some of my estimates were off, two in particular: Inuyasha and Trollhunters.
I’d estimated Inuyasha at lasting about five years. It actually lasted nearly six and a half.
I’d estimated Trollhunters at lasting just under five years, coming close to (my estimate of) Inuyasha but not quite beating it. It was actually just under three years, less than half Inuyasha’s actual number (this left me lowkey flabbergasted ngl, I could’ve sworn this one lasted at least 4 years?? but apparently not…)
Fwiw, Miraculous was the shortest of the bunch, lasting a little under two years (which was about in line with my estimate); while ATLA (the oldest of the ones I looked at (even older ones exist but would be much more difficult to track since that’s getting into my pre-internet days)) lasted a little under three, roughly the same as Trollhunters.
Avatar (blue people) is of course still ongoing, and will reach the 2 year mark in May…assuming, of course, my fixation doesn’t switch in that time…gosh darnit I hope it doesn’t, I hope it lasts a long time like Inuyasha did…not because of anything special about Avatar in particular, but because I’m simply tired of having it change every 2-3 years…hey brain how do I have a long one again…what is the secret…give me some consistency plz I beg…
Coworker (scheduler. Not the pharmacist): there’s birthday cake over there for you
Me: ??? What? For me?
C: well, for everyone. It was someone’s kid’s birthday a few days ago and they didn’t eat the cake so he brought it in. If you want a slice
Me: oh…okay
C: oh! By the way..I don’t have have your birthday on the calendar
Me: oh yeah
C: I need to put it on there
Me: okay
C: …so…when’s your birthday?
Me: oh, yeah, uh, November third
C: wow! That’s the same birthday as my friend.
Me: that’s cool. National sandwich day
C: Only one other person has a November birthday
Me: crazy
C: *proceeds to walk through everyone’s birthdays including people who no longer work there and I’ve never met, talking about how she’s still friends with them*
sometimes i truly do feel so isolated and alienated because even if people on here are lonely and sad they still have friends and partners and they're capable of having jobs and getting educations ... and im like ok wow im like actually the only one who doesn't just "feel" those things but also is completely worthless and insignificant. cool 👍
Yknow I think one of the saddest parts about Malorn being a professor is that his social circle in particular must have taken a hit. Idk if he had any homies before his promotion but with that Teacher and Student relationship having to be almost strictly professional, I can't imagine it would be smiled upon to have Malorn acting buddy buddy with some of his peers anymore. And like that's really sad that one of the many aspects of his childhood is essentially taken from him because he's in this awkward spot of mentally, physically, and emotionally at par with his students but has to be different than that in order to be their teacher
Like imagine how lonely that is bro. He can't be a kid with his students anymore but he's not an adult that can necessarily relate to other adults either so he's just in this separate space all by himself because there are no others like him (except The Wizard who has at least some similarities)
Thinking about how Malorn's former friends just slowly drifting away from him not because they hate him, but because they have to regard him as a teacher FIRST above all else is super sad and once again I'm crying for Malorn in the evening
ohmygod every time I say “I think Dean is autistic” and someone says “so’s Sam!” I just want to scream because that is the most allistic man I have ever laid eyes on
Is he neurodivergent? Yes! He has PTSD! But he doesn’t meet any of the diagnostic criteria for autism I’m so sorry 🥲 Sam’s interests were wide & varied, he had friends & relationships growing up, he doesn’t struggle with strangers as much as Dean does, he’s nowhere near as rigid in his thinking or habits. Like sure, he could be high masking but Sam “made fun of Dean in Mint Condition” Winchester? An autistic? 🤨
You know how some people like to go “are you autistic or do you just have cptsd”???? Sam has cptsd, but I totally get why you think he is.
It’s like, I totally get why people read cas that way as well, but I don’t personally read him as autistic. Because it’s not that Cas doesn’t understand or is lacking in social skills, he’s just an angel who thinks that our society’s rules are dumb & doesn’t care to follow them, and he’s so real for that. Here’s the difference
Cas: hello, Sam. I’m well.
Dean: you’re supposed to ask him how he is.
Cas: but I can see that he’s physically unharmed, and no more emotionally unwell than usual.
Dean: that’s. ……it’s just polite, cas. It’s what people do.
Cas: oh. Hello, Sam. How are you doing?
And then there’s Dean, who’s been masking all of his life and vaguely understands what’s expected of him in most social situations but if you drop him in a new scenario without warning and he doesn’t have a script prepared??? Big oof. See: this scene from 8.13
