#And that’s a genuine question too

[fahbev]

Reading comics b like:

Is it just me or did that not make any sense?

#And that’s a genuine question too #did I miss something? #is that gonna be explained later? #or was that actually just poorly written? #Like I’m currently reading #Red Robin #Omg WHAT is the connection between that little girl who turned into a spider zombie and the Council of Spiders? #And I can’t tell if that’s the mystery we’re gonna find out or if I totally missed it or what #And also in #Robin War #what the fuck was that ending #I’m still so confused #Duke gives Damian a little pep talk to remind him that he’s a hero #to get him to stop working with the Court of Owls #and it WORKS #but the reason he was working for them was bc he was being threatened and Gotham basically held hostage #ofc Duke didn’t know that #but the solution to the problem just didn’t solve the problem #but it worked anyway? #did I miss something or was that a copout?? #dc comics #comics #dc

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking. #nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose. #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!) #which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around) #and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt) #and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine) #the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly. #but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief) #as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Superbat parenting babies would be a breeze in my humble opinion. Bruce's medically well-versed enough and immune to even enhanced interrogation levels of sleeplessness, and loves kids and would probably be happy reading them stories to sleep every night.

And Clark could always tell if the kid swallowed fridge magnets/batteries/something else. Also, tell me which baby wouldn't enjoy Clark's presence and calmness. They'd be like little hamsters cajoled by the steadiness of his hold.

#I think Clark has demonstrated pretty great parenting and he's also immensely kind while balancing out certain rules #And toddlers would beg to be flown around. #maybe this is too optimistic #considering that B's track record with kids isn't perfect #but I genuinely believe they have a decent shot #I feel like the gentleness and kindness of Thomas from Batman Begins is kind of a good example of what I'd picture a calmer Bruce's mentall #stable parenting to be like #batman #superman #superbat #clark kent #bruce wayne #and I'm also willfully ignoring some stuff/chalking it up to questionable writing/can't be bothered to make sense of everything that's cano

Might be blasphemy within the Danny Phantom fandom but I just cannot see Danny x Sam being an actual ship regardless of it being canon in the actual show and now book.

Even as a kid I thought it was weird and couldn’t figure out why that bothered me, and I think now it’s because I never saw any indication of Sam or Danny ever being actually romantically attracted with each other. To be fair I saw that show when I was little, and maybe I’ll see those romantic moments that the show was building to if I can find actual length videos of the episodes.

But at this moment, I can’t recall ever having seen it.

And it baffles me, because I kinda don’t feel like Sam really loved Danny, even as a friend. And I think that really showed in the episode with her wish that changed the structure of time and space so that Danny never died and she was never friends with Danny and Tucker.

If she loved Danny, regardless if it was as a potential lover or friend, she would never have allowed him to die. Not once, but twice.

The first, okay, it was an accident. Kids do dumb things all the time, the more potentially dangerous it is the better — but the second time? The second time was deliberate.

She put him into that suit, without explanation, and without assurance. Nothing but a change of his hero signature.

She didn’t hesitate to let him die again, instead of asking herself if she could stomach watching him go through that again.

What person who loved you could do that to you? Could stand to see you go through that pain?

I feel a good example of love as well, especially in the show, is Jazz. She loves Danny, as a sibling, as a friend, and with all that love she would choose to walk herself into that portal then to let Danny do it instead.

She shows that deep love for Danny to the audience by choosing to protect him from their parents so they would never know he is the ghost boy that they want to rip apart molecule by molecule because she doesn’t want to take the chance of loosing him twice.

Jazz wanted to do that.

So why couldn’t Sam?

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #I think that moment in the show really made me question Sam’s entire character #and I think that was why I couldn’t understand why and how Sam could possibly love Danny #and Danny love Sam KNOWING that she had killed him on purpose #like I don’t mind any of the other ships like #Tucker x Danny #Dash x Danny #Paulina x Danny #Valerie x Danny #especially Dash and Valerie because they have both hurt Danny physically and even threatened to end him (Valerie) #but they felt different in their approach #because Valerie did genuinely love Danny #she just hated Phantom and even wanted to protect Danny FROM Phantom #Dash is a bully and for the time would never have cared for Danny as a potential love interest #but I feel like even Dash would have hesitated #sorry guys but any ship with Danny that has Sam in it as a partner is not for me 😭 #I feel sad cause I like the idea of the everlasting trio too #but I just can’t see it with Sam being how she was in the show 😭

Is this a gimmick blog? Like is it intended to be silly? Or is it intended to be thought provoking or insightful and it just feels silly because it's tumblr posts

To answer your question: both, sort of.

I definitely consider this blog to be mostly silly, but I do (with obvious exceptions) take the reading comprehension part seriously. I think that posts as works are generally overlooked, and some of that feeling was definitely also a reason I started doing this.

#not reading comprehension questions #extra post #ask #self post #in a slightly unrelated point that I'm putting here in the tags #several people have said that i have made them genuinely stop and think about posts and/or helped them understand things #but running this blog has genuinely had a tangible impact on my ability to analyze more traditional works too #because i have to analyze posts to make questions and it's genuinely pretty good practice

By the time cars were invented, Jonah Magnus was already well into the body hopping game, which raises the question: has he ever actually learn to drive? Did this man sit through driver’s ed? Or has he just been getting out of legal repercussions for his shit driving by telling the cops everything he knows about their deepest darkest secrets every time he gets pulled over?

#the magnus archives #tma #jonah magnus #elias bouchard #tma spoilers #au in which real elias is alive in there because Jonah needs someone who can tell him what the road signs mean #poor man is forced to spend the rest of his days as a literal backseat driver for a pseudo-immortal douchebag #perish the thought #I’m sure someone has already asked this question by now but I can’t stop thinking about it #some people have pointed out that he would ride the tube which makes sense too. #btw this post is 100% inspired by how much I used to fear for my LIFE any time i was in a car while my grandpa was driving #genuinely terrifying experience grandpa stop it please quit turning your entire body around to talk to me while I’m sitting in the back sea #why are you driving with one foot for the pedal the other foot for the brake one hand on the steering wheel and NO EYES ON THE ROAD

hi, fully optional atla meta question: hypothetically, how would the rest of the gaang react if they somehow found out how very damaged and mentally ill sokka is? (also please know that I am asking this because you have the very bestest sokka takes thank you)

im so sorry, but something about the phrasing of this ask is just really funny to me??? idk why but i can’t stop picturing them all in therapy a la that one sunny episode. “the gaang gets analyzed.” aang being like “i was frozen in an iceberg for an entire century.” “that’s not possible.” “well first of all through the avatar spirit all things are possible, so jot that down.” azula constantly spouting that she graduated top of her class at the royal fire academy for girls so there’s no way some two bit shrink will be able to get through to her. toph insisting that she is impenetrable vault while spitting peanut shells at her therapist with utmost hostility, five minutes later she’s sobbing about her mommy. zuko doesn’t even need five minutes, he starts sobbing about his mommy in under five seconds. katara willingly recounts the entire story of her life but it’s the most biased narrative you’ve ever heard. ty lee somehow gets her therapist to open up to her. mai just does a little comedy bit to amuse herself until their time is up, and then afterwards she’s like “hm…. maybe i should’ve actually brought up my pervading existential dissatisfaction and constant unending misery.” suki doesn’t realize what the purpose of a therapy session is and keeps treating it like a first date. sokka keeps insisting that he doesn’t need therapy because he’s too smart for it. his therapist is like “i am perfectly willing to acknowledge that you’re a genius but that’s also totally irrelevant to the project of cognitive behavioral therapy.” sokka basically just treats it like a game to be won and somehow manages to describe every single facet of his life truthfully while passing himself off as perfectly well-adjusted and happy. katara and zuko come out of their sessions like “wow i feel so refreshed, like so many of my emotional burdens have been lifted, and i can finally navigate my feelings in a healthier way. isn’t therapy great?” and sokka’s just like “maybe for you normies. while you’re working on developing healthier coping mechanisms or whatever, i’m playing psychological pai sho with a guy who thinks i’m so mentally stable i don’t even need therapy.” so basically he is a lost cause.

#kalliopeia-musing #asks #i realized i actually didn’t answer your question at all #but it genuinely makes me too sad to talk about #so instead you get this #the gaang and #synthesis #(always sunny reference) #sokka #the royal fire academy for girls is the penn state of the fire nation btw #(jk obviously azula only goes to harvard)

@k1k0oftheworld accidentally gave me an idea. I couldn’t rest until I drew it, so here it is: these funny guys as disassembly drones.

#this is a joke poll #but also i genuine question i asked myself in the shower today #i feel like i got an early start on the whole. horrid terrifying mental state thing #and then i was able to pull myself out of it pretty early too #(based on what other people said. i had gotten out of the worst of it by the time most people like. Start the Bad Years) #(broad generalization) #and then highschool was spent trying to move on from it. but like i didn’t Really move on i was just ignoring it #and pretending it never happened? #and now i’m like. man i didn’t plan this far #and i think i might feel this way for a long time #idk life is full of uncertainties and i think it’s ultimately useless to try and plan it all out #let’s get through this #alright deeply personal post OVER

i would like to introduce antis to the concept of: genuinely asking questions instead of pretending to be part of the community and then squishing yourself away from it really hard because you jumped in both feet and got a shock from it

#pine speaks #radqueer #this is about those fake accounts that popped up the other day and have now all deleted #“hey why do you believe that?'' is a question some of us would be HAPPY to answer #like. if you jump in a river all the way up to your head. without even checking if it's too cold. YOU'RE GONNA WANNA GET OUT OF THE RIVER #plus that one “im genuinely surprised no one tried to groom me” it's almost like antis LIE about us!! shocker!! /s

Would you guys mind if this became a fanart reblogging account and @blackkatdraws2 became my art only focused account?

I've been really bothered by how disorganized this account is and I've been wanting to change it lately. This seems like the perfect opportunity to do it, besides this account has more followers so every art for me that I'll share here will get more attention...

Would you guys be fine with that?

#genuine question #maybe I'm being too quick with this #should i wait until tomorrow to make a final decision #ohhh but an account dedicated entirely for my art without any distractions is so nice to think about though... #I've always envied really organized accounts
