#pixie asks 💕 #foiled again!

[greeninus]

Behold, the Green Eyed Mage, Greeninus! I'm here to destroy my arch nemesis, Purplus, and nothing else! Nothing else at all! This is my whole thing! And I'm VERY bad at it!

The Green Eyed Mage appears!: Time to kill this guy!

The Battle Begins!: Self-explanatory!

Foiled Again!: I lost? Again?

A Minor Victory!: Mildly inconveniencing him is just as good as killing him, right?

THIS plan will work!: When I'm not trying to kill Purplus, I'm working on plans to help me kill Purplus!...

This Has Nothing To Do With That Guy: ...Except when I'm not, of course!

A New Follower Rises!: An “anon” as you call them has been conscripted to fight for me in this war!

(Another blog in the EPPRBCU, this one run by Brick (see Status-Updates, Advertsary, and a few others.))

(It is very important that you understand that no matter what Greeninus does, he will not, can not, and must not ever succeed in killing Purplus. Anyone attempting to kill Purplus on his behalf or in association with him will also fail, probably.)

not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)

#who needs romance when i can watch two narrative foils painfully tolerate each other's existence #bonus points if they are forced to Work Together To Solve A Problem #and they end up working surprisingly well together! #they make a surprisingly effective team! #they even confide some backstory with each other & bond a bit & understand each other better #and when it's all over they shake hands & amicably agree that they still cannot fucking stand each other #'this was an interesting sidequest & I'm glad we got to experience it. #but all things considered i genuinely never want to see your face again' #Enemies to Chained-Up-In-An-Abandoned-Bathroom-Together #to Enemies #two stray cats forced to share a cat carrier for a trip to the vet

Thank God splatoon 3 didn't end up introducing a playable cuttlefish dlc like I feared last year (I honestly don't think we need more new playable species, would've been too sudden, my expectations were on the floor after rotm) but the cuttlefish visuals are still so suspicious to me. This hat has to be on purpose. That's absolutely not a fucking squid or octopus

And this is undeniably a cuttlefish (and the double fin shape resembles the hat)

Like how the lack of mammals in the splatoon world and ark Polaris was something suspicious in the previous games, and characters like marigold and Glen fiddler and lil judd are suspicious now.... It's way more subtle but I think this could be the splatoon team planting some seeds in case they decide to introduce cuttlefish as a separate species in the splatoon world. ill be keeping it in the back of my mind

#splatoon #People called me crazy for insisting there was ZERO wild mammals in the splatoon world #This will be my tin foil hat for splatoon 4 #It could be that they just don't figure out how to incorporate cuttlefish and scrap it #Again I don't mind I don't think splatoon needs more playable species #But some acknowledgement of cuttlefish which we know exist and seem to be a kind of inkfish would be nice #My tentative plot prediction is we travel far away. There's been a lot of mention of travel in s3 #And there happen to be cuttlefish in this distant region we go to #Which would explain why we haven't seen them up until now #Inklings were told that octolings lived very far away which is the reason given for how pearl didn't recognize marina as an octoling #So distance to explain a lack of cuttlefish doesn't seem to far fetched

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen ning #wei wuxian #Ignore how Wen Ning's hair looks here because I messed it up. Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment. #I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again). #Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him. #This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX. A painful one-sided crush made worse. #It is bittersweet to realize that we care about someone more than they care about us. Sometime we pour love into a relationship- #-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care. #And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you. #You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged. #I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated. #People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away. #I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'. #And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case. I do not know any good love triangles in media. #We are skipping some of the sad Jiang Cheng content because I really want to finish season 2 before May. #Sorry JC emo moment lovers...I'll deliver another time.

My Roman empire is how if Mizu hadn't doomed Akemi to her arranged marriage with the Shogun's son, Akemi would have never set out on the path of greatness.

Had Mizu not ruined her engagement, Akemi would've never run away from home, braved the world or met Kaji and learnt how to survive within her means.

Likewise, if not for Akemi, Ringo would've been stabbed and Mizu strangled to death. Had Akemi not attacked Mizu with her knife, Mizu's sword would be incomplete.

Without having betrayed Akemi, Mizu wouldn't have grasped the value Ringo, Taigen and Eiji have in her life. She wouldn't have understood the importance of love, friendship and weakness.

#- rubbing my hands together - welcome to the tags #Obviously the game was prioritizing Gale in this interaction bc it's his story and that's who Larian wrote #BUT NOT ME BAYBEEEE THIS IS CROISSANT'S TIME TO SHINE and be an excellent foil to his character #I DUNNO I just really liked playing a character who also has a buckwild amount of insecurities about this relationship - #- but in a very different flavor. I've loved keeping that in mind as the romance plot plays out. #As much as I appreciate the constant validation you give Gale from in-game dialogue bc he needs that- #-I also like holding up Croissant like a mirror to get him out of his own head. #AGAIN THIS CHARACTER WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR ME NGJKFLNDKH I love this game #Anyway now we get to grapple with Gale talking to Mystra :''''''') #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #act III spoilers #gale romance spoilers #croissant adventures #tav #gale #gale dekarios #gale x tav #breadweave #comics #I think this 6-pager was the first time I felt like I had a handle on drawing Gale btw that man is an artistic enigma #ADDITIONAL EDIT: thank you so much for your responses on part 1 you are all wonderful folks - esp the ones mad that I made this 2 parts LOL

…and another thing:

If we’re removing Sokka’s sexism from the live action show, what point does even introducing the Kyoshi warriors and/or Suki serve?

The whole purpose of that episode is for Sokka to learn a lesson about his narrow worldview. There’s a small bit of Kataang jealousy stuff and a generic action scene towards the end. The Kyoshi warriors exist in that episode narratively to prove Sokka’s sexism wrong, and Suki is the forefront of that. It’s her actions towards bettering Sokka that even make her relevant to him and the rest of the story.

If she’s just gonna be there as a love interest that they encounter, then the weight of her purpose that makes the relationship feel valuable is lost. She’s just another pretty girl Sokka likes. She’s redundant when Yue is thrown in the mix later. The reason she continues to be important is that impression she made on him. Without that, there’s not much (not saying she isn’t compelling on her own, mind you).

And the Kyoshi warriors, while cool in concept, now only serve a singular purpose of just being another force on Aang’s side, whereas again they serve to strengthen the idea of women empowerment in the cartoon along with that. That feeds into Kyoshi’s vision of why she even started the group. Now they’re just some task force. Cool. Why even have them there?

Any adaptation that reduces characters’ importance in the story to nothing, then throws them in anyway because they want the nostalgia jerkers to clap is NOT a good adaptation. Unless they somehow develop some other motivation for Suki to bring and maintain her value to the story, removing her importance to Sokka renders her useless to the plot.

#atla #atla live action #netflix atla #avatar the last airbender #Suki #Sokka #again no hate towards Suki #she’s cool #but she widely serves as a foil for Sokka in that episode specifically based on a trait they’re taking away from him #and that’s baaaaaaad news

Percy in the show asking if Mr.D could possibly help him find his dad when he first gets to camp? Percy being so broken down and in such a bad spot with his mom gone to the point where he wants to find any kind of help or comfort that he could find? Him knowing that if anyone should be able to help him, it would be his father?

… yeah, it’s very reminiscent of how a younger Luke used to beg and pray to his father to help him and his mother in anyway possible. (As said in the Diary of Luke) Because Luke knew that if anyone could and should be able to help them, it was his father. But eventually he realized that he was longing for help that he would never get. He realized that he could never trust his father to help. That he would have to try and take his fate into his own hands.
