#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#a-yuan#Ultimately...despite how hard we try to reach people - sometimes it just is not possible.#Sometimes all you can do is wish that things could have been different. You pen a note with all the things you want to say -#and then you let it go. The words stay unsent and unspoken. You just watch the rift between you grow until you're too far away to try again#It is a sad end! It is two people who want to be closer but do not have the right capacity to do anything but shut doors.#Worse yet; it's two people who feel it is not their place to try and impose anything more.#It takes so long to heal from endings like that. You never get enough closure when there is still a faint hope of 'another day'.#It's a false amicability. It's closing a door and telling yourself that at least the windows are unlocked.#WWX will keep up his friendliness as a way to hold LWJ at a distance. LWJ can only try to help so many times.#Speaking of tragedies of trying to help; Let's talk about the addiction metaphors in this episode.#WWX tells LWJ in fairly straightforward terms that he does not *want* do be doing ghost cultivation.#What he wants is to protect people - by any means necessary. If he had another option he would take it.#The path WWX 'chose' is one that is deeply mired in external shame and taboo. He jokes about it but it clearly doesn't feel great.#And I put 'chose' in quotes because just like many who find them selves in bad situations - the choice is an illusion.#He's adamant that this is 'his' choice. That he is in control.#Better to be villainized that endure the terrifying reality that you lack any ability to have choice anymore.#If he had the choice - truly had the choice - he would not be doing this.#You can't help those who don't want to be helped. So of course all LWJ can do is watch from the side. Offer a hand when he can.#This life was a tragedy and the countdown to it all blowing up started a long time ago...

rewatched madoka magica again today bc i fucking hate myself and to absolutely no oneās surprise i went through all five stages of grief in a single evening
#letās talk about sayaka miki for a second#genuinely the fact that her whole character is centered around tragedy almost to a shakespearean extent#sheās selfless and brave and values her justice and righteousness above all. calls herself an ally of justice#in fact i think itās rather intriguing how her whole character is centered around ājusticeā#her story being a more twisted retelling of the original little mermaid#how she is initially portrayed as a very heroic and confident character even before becoming a magical girl. always shielding madoka#selling her soul to heal the boy she loved out of a selfless desire to see him well again#her being absolutely distraught abt being robbed of her humanity and betrayed by kyubey#she combats this harrowing realization by immersing herself in her duties not caring that she is slowly deteriorating in the process#becoming numb with pain and fighting recklessly and psychotically trying to drown out the pain#finally coming to the sickening conclusion that humanity doesnāt deserve her saving and she succumbs to a fate of her making#last words being āi was so stupidā which trumps her previous statement of āthereās no way iād regret thisā#ALSO? the fact that her costume and weapon are symbolic of a knight. she rly portrays this hero of justice who will protect and defend ā¹ļø#i think abt the fact that homura said that sayakaās wish was so selfless it was only a matter of time before she died#sayaka being the example of what happens to magical girls who go through the entire cycle and eventually become witches is so sad to me#genuinely just like. sick and twisted#very very fucked up.#characters who have their own misconstrued interpretation of ājusticeā or who are centered around justice in general.#you will always be dear to me.#sayaka reminds me a lot of akechi in some ways ngl#harboring an almost idealized vision of justice but it slowly rots and festers and corrupts their hearts the more immersed w it they become#actually losing their sanity when they fight bc of how much pain theyāre in but refuse to acknowledge it until they break#refusing any help and wallowing in misery despite having ppl who love them and want to save them#last words are those expressing regret for being such a fool. for being ignoring#being used by yhe main villain as a stepping stone towards their true goal. they were merely a pawn#also doomed in every version of their reality. always doomed by the narrative no matter what choices they make#i have a type i fear#HAHAHAH ALSO the fact that theyāre both dressed so regally compared to everyone else in their respective series#meant to portray them in a virtuous and princely light. only made more apparent by the sword being their weapon of choice#iām gonna shut up now but theyāre soo eerily similar its unnerving tbh š

I think Danny Phantom fandom is absolutely sleeping on the sheer dumb bulshittery Danny, Sam and Tucker generate on the regular and itās a fucking shame. Like, the three of them have exactly one (1) single braincell between them, and the only one to use it at least semi-regularly is Jazz. You literally canāt leave them for five minutes without them stumbling into some new bullshit every single time. Granted, a lot of times bullshit finds them first instead of the other way around, but by god will they make the situation worse. They run into the situations with the same reckless abandon the cockchafers fly into any solid obstacle in their way, and youād think that at least one of them will be the voice of reason, and youād be dead wrong.
Danny? He thought pranking a murder happy millionaire with a vindictive streak the size of Grand Canyon was a great idea. And then, like a moron, he decided to use equally murder happy government agency with a huge prejudice against ghosts and a vendetta against him, personally. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that, obviously!
(spoiler alert, things did go very wrong very fast)
Tucker? A valid choice at the first glance, except he is always down to commit crimes for either his friends or just for funsies. Remember that time he ran an obviously illegal babysitting scam business? Or that time when he brainwashed and then dimensionally displaced the whole school into Ancient Egypt setting? Another notable instances of Tucker being a menace, in no particular order: organised o pro-meat protest in a few hours, tried to shoot a ghost with his phone as a projectile (and succeeded), sold Sam out to a ghost out of sheer pettiness, gave Skulker an alarm-induced ptsd, almost killed Danny that one time (donāt worry, Danny was fine) and in general committed to being bullshit-enabling gremlin.
Now Sam would seem the most grounded and reasonable out of three of them, but it is what SHE wants you to believe. She is just as, if not more, unhinged as the boys, she just hides it better. Remember that time she trashed the castle and antagonised a few dozen of armed guards, while having no back up, no weapons, no allies and while being in some shithole in the Ghost Zone? And then basically told a tyrannical asshole with op dragon powers āfuck you and your entire kingdomā in the face? And then rode another dragon who put said asshole through a wall? Good times.
They all seem like perfectly reasonable people at the first glance, and then Tucker and Danny would dare each other to lick that weird glowing green rock, and Sam would roll her eyes and groan about how stupid boys are, and then Tucker would dare her to lick that glowing rock too, and Danny will say, āCome on, Tuck, itās okay if sheās too afraid to do it-ā, and yes, Sam and her mother have many disagreements on a lot of things, but both her mother AND Granny did not raise a fucking bitch, move over, Tucker, or so help her the spirit of Pandora-
They all end up absolutely miserable in ecto-containment units sick as hell with ecto-flu and on all questions answer that no, they donāt know how this happened, maybe it was ghost attack last week, they did get blasted by that green goo, after all, but really, they have absolutely no idea, honest. Jazz suspects something, but she also has no proof and therefore canāt prove anything. In the end, it was one of the worst weeks in their life and they all ended up swearing to not do it ever again.
(they do end up doing it again two months later)
#phandom is SLEEPING on the sheer comedic potential of those three committing crimes together I swear to god!!!!#like I do understand that this fandom loves itās angst and all#and sam danny & tucker in the same scene together will more often than not end up in stand up comedy instead of angst#but god#GOD DO I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THOSE THREE BEING DUMBASSES TOGETHER#like imagine them doing idk a heist together or smth#the panic the destruction the potential for reality defying bullshit#the ABSOLUTELY committed eco-terrorism off screen I know I was there#Sam was there bcs of obvious reasons and ended up organising an uprising#tucker was there bcs heās always ready to commit crimes and stick it to the government#danny was there as moral support only and ended up on wanted lists of at least 7 countries#sam manson#tucker foley#danny fenton#danny phantom

[ Reflection ] About yourself.
Was listening to Shunkan Sentimental by SCANDAL at like 10 p.m. and stayed up until 4 a.m. to work on this. I didn't finish it right away tho, I still had to sleep.
Two extras below read more!


#Asa draws#my art#fan art#kirby#Meta Knight#Dark Meta Knight#I don't talk often of my thoughts on Meta and Darmeta and how the mirror functions#I like to believe the Amazing Mirror was once a tool for people to achieve dreams. wishes#slightly like Nova but not quite. the mirror could not bring these wishes to reality. you could only walk into the mirror#and face the outcomes of what you wished for#and maybe it was like this for some time until the mirror got corrupted#and maybe Meta looked once into the mirror. but never walked in#thinking of an easier time#In a way#Darmeta is the outcome of what would have happened if Meta had taken another path#if he had never gone to Popstar#They don't really like eachother. Meta because of what Darmeta represents to him and Darmeta because one of the outcomes of being-#-someone's reflection is holding some of their memories and feelings#and Darmeta. well... he doesn't really like that#I like of think of them having gone past the point of being just enemies and hating each other for things they cannot control and instead-#instead they work well together#they still just *tolerate* each other#but the advantage of knowing so much of another person is that you know how they work#so they actually make a pretty good team on a good day

Gojo āNo one is allowed to take youth from young peopleā Satoru and Nanami āBeing a child is not a sinā Kento can actually be so personal.
#nanago#i genuinely forgot gojo had that line but hot damn does it make me consider just how similar he and nanami are in that aspect#like. they both had life ripped away from them young.#gojo with himself and riko and then nanami with haibara.#they were each only 16/17 and the realities of sorcery caught up to them faster than it should have.#so yeah theyāre pretty intense about their beliefs. they fucking had it stolen from them#which is why theyāre adamant on others not experiencing the same thing they went through.#i adore them both So so much.#and i wish they could have fulfilled their dreams#jjk spoilers#tagging this with that last thing just in case anybody comes across these tags and shouldnāt have

brian playing with his client's sunglasses to pretend he's "working" and avoid looking at justin in this scene is so funny
i love him
#qaf#queer as folk#brian kinney#britin#every time I watch this scene I'm like he is absolutely not doing anything productive with those glasses he's just using them as props#exhibit a of brian acting like he's so cool and unaffected by the situation when in reality he's a total dweeb#this episode is very beloved by me because you know BOTH of them are trying so hard to play it cool while internally freaking out#I wish we had more scenes of justin dropping his mask during operation Get Brian Back#I deserved some debrief sessions between him and daphne where he reveals how much he cares about whether or not his plan is working

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl found dead in a hidden room.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan xichen#jin guangyao#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#qin su#EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot#and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white#JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

Percy would sacrifice the world to save those he loves, Luke would sacrifice those he loves to save the world.
And Luke is the one in the right.
#I said what I said#āoh but that means he never loved them to beginn with-ā WRONG.#It just means that he isn't willing to sacrifice litteraly EVERYTHING else for them; he still loved them and he'll still mourn them#to destroy everything for a person is romantic on the surface- it is horrid and selfish if you view is objectivley#Percy is wish fulfillment; Luke is reality.#Percy is what everyone WANTS a leader to be- idealized; morally always pure and clean#Luke is what a leader is realistically- flawed; morally grey and being forced to make bad decisions to avoid worse#pjo#luke castellan#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#luke castellan apologist#pro luke castellan#luke castellan defense

Nothing to see here just steph stealing glances of klay like heās afraid heās going to get caught šš (via namxsj on twitter )

There is just so much lore for Machete and Vasco, and now developing lore for Vascoās formal partner and their respective partner.
And all of these little details and interactions. Every time I read more I just think how much I would enjoy episodic writing centered around the events these 4 would be entangled in over the years.
Itās all so good š¤
Thank you! I'm truly flattered you find my characters and their comings and goings interesting! It's all just stuff I put together in my brain for fun after all, and I've never felt like I have that spark or innate ability to come up with engaging stories.
#answered#anonymous#damn I wish I could provide you with that proper episodic narrative#in some alternate reality I have like a 300 pages worth of webcomic about them

it was just going to be a few warmup doodles but then she infected the rest of the page like the ever eternal and spreading spores. hod!!! hod. hod :)
#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#hod#hod lobcorp#lobotomy corp spoilers#I GUESS i almost forgot i drew her box form#lobcorp spoilers#and michelle actually. ..#both very tiny. itty bitty. microscopic#other sephirah there too as normal. i cant have her alone. and Angelina as well on the top patting her#i have a hard time fully capturing her for some reason. in my mind. maybe its because is the disconnected period!!! mentally#she genuinely wishes to care and be kind yet theres a dissonance with what she does..? or how it ends up being taken or what she does to en#up bringing those actions into reality. she can be forceful? wanting to have employees attend therapy sessions and meetings for suppression#tactics. which i think is also something the safety team is incharge of iirc. so that means shes doing way more that what she needs to on#her job as a sephirah. just for the sake of employees#she really does care as shes one of the only to Directly attempt to change their circumstances and quality of life and health#sure chesed doesnt punish employees when they dont do their work assigned or stress them out with work#but he doesnt actively push to attempt to make changes to aid employees besides the research perks which is to the manager#yesod IS right next to her and does also genuinely care but when it comes to employees hes distant at best when it comes to them and the#way he tries to protect them is by enforcing rules but he doesnt really create or attempt to help them like hod does#yesod is sort of a passive? way of doing it. yes he doesn make a push to enforce said rules but he doesnt make new ones. just follows what#is already there in place. hod tries to make new ways and not just for the safety of people like how yesod's has them physically fine and#not letting them over a certain threshold of mental corruption but she tries to have a program to Directly Address such a thing#its born out of care but the genuine worry of being a good person and her naivety ends up having it do more harm than good#sure there may be some employees that actually like and find it useful but so many are just accepting to their fate of Dying to where#her care seems pointless. shes a sephirah and to them a literal metal box why would they go ahead and feel bad for what an 'ai' is feeling#as she is interrupting their free time in the company#which is rude. and shit. iirc the counseling is compulsory but people go because shes a sephirah and their superior. the thought was there#but again it comes off wrong and ends up not working because shes their superior in the end#EEK!!! yeah... hod. the hod. there is WAY more but i can't fit it all here and i already typed enough

Makoto Teruhashi VS Kusuke Saiki is like Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T's VS Creep by Radiohead
#I'm sorry#I associate those songs with one another because Hey There Delilah can be sang with the backing of Creep and it works surprisingly well#so now I just think of Hey There Delilah as being the POV of someone who is completely unaware of how creepy they are#and thinks they're mutually in love with someone when in reality the other person either hates them or doesn't care about them#and creep -- well#āI wish I was special/ You're so fucking special/ but I'm a creepā#self explanatory#saiki k#kusuke saiki#makoto teruhashi
