#bc that's obviously not his goal

[niishi]

I loved how in all the "Sanji equal to zoro" arguments (which I just observe and am not a part of bc you nerds take shit too serious) was like "Sanji held off queen all by himself" while chopper wrecked queen for like a full half hour by himself while Sanji was at his dominatrix appointment! and y'all won't give chopper any props for that. tbh chopper is more equal to zoro bc they both have a semblance of duty and manners too.

#fr though i hate how much ppl care about how strong sanji is #bc that's obviously not his goal #being strong is important to him bc it helps him protect ppl #but he HATES that he's getting stronger due to his genetics bc he doesnt want to be like his brothers #he even has a dilemma over whether luffy wants him as he is or would rather he be strong enough to fight next to the pirate king #zoros goal is strength #i dont even know why ppl have this conversation #its disrespectful to the both of them #yall forget sanjis a chef #zoro makes qll the sacrifices for strength so no one else has to #thats his goal and his job #why do ppl constantly push sanji into being like that too? #when we all know every time sanji tries to emulate zoro its unhealthy and suicidal #i said i wasnt apart of it but thats bc if someone starts arguing with me about any of this #ill kill them

DP x DC AU: Danny desperately wants to find the explosion guy. Tim is really good at covering his tracks... he didn't account for ghosts.

The explosions make it onto TV as purported terror activity and most people haven't heard of that part of the world much less ever given a second thought to care about it. The only real reason it gets reported on has something to do with the Justice League and... Danny knows too much.

He's been in training for Clockwork's court (which he's suspicious of- feels like kingly duty bullshit- but Danny is playing along out of curiosity for now) and he's learned a lot about how the living and non-living worlds collide. That means learning about CW's usual suspects- one of which just happened to have a ton of bases around the area Danny was seeing on the news.

It didn't take long for Danny to try to piece together that whoever blew up Nanda Parbat was trying to fuck with the League of Shadows, and was doing it successfully. Less green portals in the world the better, same goes for assassins. But it gets Danny thinking... Maybe he can employ similar tactics on the GIW Bases that keep spawning on the edges of Amity Park. It would at least set them back while he and his friends navigated the help line desk to request Justice League intervention. None of them can leave Amity Park, so outreach is going to have to be creative.

So Danny figures he'll just find the guy. Call up some ghosts who were there, or er, came from there and get a profile and track him down. But the ghosts keep saying it was The Detective. Annoying!

Danny goes full conspiracy theory, gets Tucker and Sam involved, and begrudgingly asks Wes Weston his thoughts.

He hadn't expected Wes to garble out a thirty minute presentation (that had 100 more slides left to go before he cut it off) about how Batman totally trained with a cult and so did his kids. Danny kind of rolled his eyes but... hey, new avenue of searching in the Infinite Realms at least.

The ghosts confirm that Bombs is for sure not Batman's MO- But maybe his second kid would know? The second kid was already brought back to life though, so no way to easily reach him... Danny starts to realize that this might be the work of a Robin now. Wasn't the red one known for solving cold cases? (Sam provides this information- its a social faux pas to not know hero gossip at Gotham Galas- everything she's learned is against her will).

It all comes to a head when Danny goes about the hard task of opening a portal for the guy to come through at just the right time, explain the infinite realms so he doesn't panic and then describe what the fuck was going on with the GIW. It takes months, just over a full year, of random (educated guesses) portal generating- Finally, Red Robin drops into the land of the dead.

"So, you're the guy I've got to talk to about explosions right?" Danny enthusiastically asks.

Tim thinks he's died and landed in the after life following 56 hours of being awake and plummeting off the side of a building into a Lazarus pool. Nothing makes sense about the kid in front of him.

"Yeah, I got a guy for munitions." Tim answers cooly.

"How do you feel about secretly sanctioned government operations that violate protected rights?"

"Gotta get rid of 'em some how. Need me to point you in the right direction?" This might as well be happening.

see the THING about goodsir and stanley is that goodsir may be way less inclined to act cruelly but he has a far greater capacity for it.

#no listen to me bc stanley is cruel out of uncaringness #oh your toes are getting snipped off? well don't expect any coddling he's got better things to do #but that's the extent of it he doesn't care to hurt anyone either #(and yes obviously carnevale shows that he very much can hurt people but even then the hurt is not his /goal/ #it's a necessary evil so he can help people. of all things) #in contrast with goodsir who cares so so much about things and about doing them right #including. when pushed far enough. cruelty #the terror #i hope people know whenever i make a mean post about goodsir i do like him #i just think one of his best qualities is that he kinda sucks <3 #also tbc having a capacity doesn't mean living up to it. it just means you could

Just because it's been boiling my brain, the fandom agrees Ratau is the reason there's so many traps and ambushes in cult of the lamb, right? Because he was a stealth main who vanishes into underground hiding spots/tunnels, taking down units one by one, and sneaking into temples, right?

Because that giant screaming bell thing seems like it'd be a pain for rogues: since it only goes off when enemies are alerted/an enemy dies, then follows the player around till all enemies in that area are defeated. Total stealth killer. They made it especially for him.

Thus the best way to defeat Ratau was to have traps, stakeouts, and ambushes. Instead of general patrols, checkpoints, and unit check-ins since a rogue would just sneak past those. Because unless those doors have a "fixed*" entry point, it's pretty weird to have your whole place covered in traps just in case a crown bearer comes through.

#cult of the lamb #add it to the list #cotl ratau #and kallamar hated him the most obviously. his whole place is set up with landmines and stuff that blows up upon contact #it would be so funny to make a prequel sorta dlc bc ultimately your only goal is to piss off the bishops #its not to win but just to be a pest. best rogue goal tbh #they shot themselves in the foot bc armoured enemy hordes would be much harder for the lamb to deal with

*shaking and crying* where is Urizen

#“monsterfucker website” they cant even handle the 20ft tall grotesque demonic half of a cambion #lowkey blame VoV for that. like I love that manga to death but god did the last chapter did not help the whole- #“V is his own person/is *the other half* of vergil (and not like. one half)” interpretation. bc then wtf was urizen for. #and tbh the game itself doesnt make it easy bc *obviously* we spend more time with V than with urizen. and then there's vergil's World of V. #and I guess its obvious both game and fans would focus more on the pretty goth bait and The Literal Best Character On All Time- #rather than mr. 1 dimentional boss fight demon but FUCK MAN now im pissed off that he is treated as unimportant- #and/or straight up forgotten that he even existed. like fuck he IS vergil's power. gone wild and without goal but he IS part of vergil #just like V is. and if V couldve “gotten his own character” during the time he was separated then why the fuck couldnt urizen? #<- sidenote I do not like the whole “V is/got his own character” thing. like no thats still vergil to me. #and yeah the last chapter of VoV fuck that up for me but im mainly of the opinion that- #if vergil exists. neither V nor urizen can. and vice-versa. #which imo SHOULD be the logical way but I guess nobody but me like urizen for what he is or represent. so its all about vergil and V #(who is STILL. FUCKING. VERGIL. TO ME. HNHNHNGNHN) #anyway whatever. #justice for urizen #tagging later

actually yeah im making a quick poll on this. for anyone who has been around long enough to remember when i made my massive clamp readathon situation (in which i read every single one of the works they put out) be everyones problem. hi. im doing it again but much worse now. reading about 400 volumes (and more if i can find more) of tezuka osamu's work. i am just curious on the general consensus of if i should upload thoughts as i read each one (ie: one post being like i finished kimba/jungle kingdom, heres my thoughts) or just have a MASSIVE post of hey. read them all heres my thoughts (as i did with clamp. which is when i found out tumblr had a max text limit)

#twist rambles #i KNOW this is smth most of u do not care about. however comma. im curious what would be better. esp as like... about 50?? i think percent #of these have no translation fan or official. so its smth where i think discussing the plot/characters/art or whatever could be fun :) #but its also like. obviously a lot. for comparison the clamp stuff was abt 90 volumes (half of them being holic and trc). so this is far #worse. i could read all of naruto 5.5 times over in the time this will take me to complete it. so its smth where i do want to like... get #opinions on. either way i dont plan on liveblogging for most of it other than if i find a silly panel (the really good mw panels u will #ALWAYS be famous <- i post them every time i read i think. theyre very good to me). i do however plan on coloring a panel or page from each #series as my OWN personal way of having a physical way of holding onto my memories w it. sorry this is so long and rambly but im gearing up #for this massive project and by god i need to get ppl to read dor.oro. <- my goal or something. please. its very good. #tzkposting #<- all of my posting abt this will/has been under this tag so its not... in the main tags lmao. #sorry for the rambling but. hi. please vote :3 im making a big spreadsheet for stuff bc like... a lot of his stuff is hard to source so onc #im done w that nightmare situation ill probably post that somewhere bc the days of work ive done on all this should be put out there lol #gonna srb this a few times through the day to get like... an idea of what ppl would prefer :)

[kkujo]

bruabba and fugio are good ships however 80% of the people who post about them are annoying about it. like. same with jotakak and kakyoin stans actually. the way ppl obsess over them and water it down until it's so uwuified and far removed from the source that the characters are just bland and boring. idk where i was going with this

#don't get me wrong i enjoy all 3 ships and i like kakyoin and i like part 5 #but the way these things get treated in the fandom is so annoying it's genuinely so annoying #unfortunately a lot of part 5 stans just completely get the characterisation wrong #like bruno isn't an uwu softboy mommy 😭😭😭😭 yes he's a parental figure but he's also like really unhinged and traumatised. #he's a good person but he's fucked up why are we making him into a bland uwu cinnamon roll #same w fugo and giorno.... they both have severe trauma & fugo has anger issues and giorno can be manipulative and cold etc etc #so it's so weird to me when ppl see them as like cutesy softboys DOES THIS MAKE SENSE #also people misunderstand giorno as boring or too similar to jonathan but the whole point is he's a mix of jonathan and dio... #yes he's kind but he will also do almost anything to achieve his goals even if it means people die #he's actually a really interesting character with different layers but people miss it 😭 #< obviously it's fine to draw/write cutesy stuff and not focus on character analysis. sometimes u just gotta make it fluffy #but i swear it's like 90% of the content for some of these characters #kakyoin especially holy shit. the like. feminization of kakyoin in the fandom is literally gross at times #when ppl turn him into like a twinky little femboy... come on be so real have you SEEN him #especially when ppl hc him as trans masc and then draw him hyper feminine.... when in canon he's rlly masculine.... guys ☹ #<like obviously trans men can be feminine but when ppl make a masculine character super feminine bc of a trans hc. that's. weird

Will getting Vecna’d and El goes in to save him but now El knows about Will’s feelings/Will knows that El knows.

[and maybe it causes him to pull away from Mike, especially if he sees El there too because he’s worried she’ll think he’s trying to do something and he just doesn’t want to hurt her and then of course more Byler angst “why have you been avoiding me” in combination with all the other angst from current setups of course]

#stranger things predictions #will byers #willelmike #also i don't think it'll happen immediately following obviously but as far as el giving her blessing bc will would NEVER move on without it #she would need to give it straight to him like eventually will hearing from mike that he got it from her doesn't feel direct enough idk #byler #willel predictions #idk though bc i feel it might be kind of weird for nothing to come of her knowing for three years again #then again maybe it would just be a way he expands his circle who knows (starting with his siblings) yk? #and she just keeps his secret as his loving sister rather than it advancing the plot as mike's gf #she isn't keeping it to herself for herself or taking any actions with a goal just keeping it a secret bc he asks her to #and we know that at this point she understands the difference between friends don't lie and sometimes you lie to feel safe or make people #not worry #and lying for others is different

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

let it be known…. bestie!sukuna does a killer winged eyeliner

#sharp enough to cut a man and that’s his goal i just know he does the meanest winged eyeliner for you in class #you hand him the pen w/o saying a word and he’s immediately grabbing the back of your head to steady you #if suguru sees that he’s like What Thw Fuck Is going onnimm gonna be Sick #firmly believe that reader & everyone in school has a mini crush on sukuna #i say mini bc he is so fucking sexy but the moment he opens his mouth you’re like damn… i regret all my life choices why’s he yelling at me #anyways. reader is the only one who can tolerate sukuna and vice versa <3 reader is friendly so everyone loves them #but like. BEST FRIEND wise? it’s sukie & reader til death does them part 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 i love them so much idk why their dynamic makes me so happy #okay i’m just talking to myself in the tags rn hmmm how do i want him to look #pink hair + black undercut OBVIOUSLY. face tatts/body tatts OBVIOUSLY. #ear piercings + helix + industrials + eyebrow piercing + nose piercing + snake bites + tongue piercing OBVIOUSLY #he’d also wear reading glasses. FKN nerd 😹😹😹 i have 20/20 vision i can’t relate 🤭🤭🤭 #immaculately dressed & insanely intelligent you can call sukuna a lot of things but you can’t call him ugly or dumb #i think he’d have reader’s birth flower tattooed on him too just as a nod to how much he loves/cares for them <3 #where should he work… maybe at the same tattoo shop as suguru? yeah maybe that could work #sukie’ll be a piercer while sugu is a tattooist yeah that checks out #maybe they’re in the same frat? yeah that could work part 2 #okay YAY cool i’m glad i’m fleshing him out :3 #snippets #personal

hm.

#( replaying mota to make gifs and refresh my memory of certain details and bc i don't usually take fenris #i never thought about the latter exchange as an interesting contrast until recently. #i've talked at length about it before but carver's dialogue with fenris is directly informed by the fact carver has learned #through his upbringing in an apostate-majority family #that the best way to live - or survive‚ more aptly put - is to lay low‚ don't stir up trouble‚ and keep your loved ones safe. #fenris brushes off the advice because‚ obviously‚ carver doesn't 1) understand the intricacies of his status as an escaped slave and #2) doesn't realize that ''safety'' might not be everyone's end goal in life. #BUT. but but but. fenris also offers a very similar suggestion to hawke. because fenris cares about hawke. #and‚ like carver‚ fenris wants hawke to look out for themself. wants them to be safe. #and hawke may rebut something very akin to what fenris gets to in his banter with carver. #i may dig up my old carver + fenris meta and make additions because the more i revisit da2 and switch up my choices #the more i realize there's still material to analyze! ) #( miscellaneous ╱ outofchara. ) #( also sorry for the silence here i have been v busy! #but good news is i have accepted a new job‚ so i'm that much more prepared for my partner and i's big move next month! )

Okay but someone remind me, has anyone made a deal with god and got them to swap someone’s place? Like i get a lot of the songs don’t entirely match up with what’s happening or what’s to come, but I do remember this emphasis on that song and how it fit sooo perfect for the story, but we haven’t seen any of that yet which has me 👀 about season 5…

#byler #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things 5 #st5 headcanon #so what I thinks gonna happen is Will is obviously Vecna’s target at the end of the day #like he’s the end goal or is a big part in endgame for him and his plans #but I think Mike will get in the way of it #either in a literal sense that causes vecna to finally close in on him instead of letting him get away with it again #or maybe in an even more literal sense mike will sacrifice himself for Will #or more specifically #make a deal with god #and get him to swap him and wills place… #i also feel like this will either be the cliffhanger of 5x01 or 5x02 #and that’s roughly how Mike ends up in the upside down #which aligns with the s1 vibes #BUT I think bc the whole upside down couch thing #how Will joins Mike shortly after he sits down #not to mention crazy together and all the imagery that shows them working as a team #it’s inevitable Will would join him soon after #or maybe all of this happens again with Will like s1 #and mikes just back in character as ever freaking out over Will #and that’s when he makes a deal with god to join Will #idk but I feel fairly confident about the s1 vibes meaning that SOMEONE is going missing early on

the issue with genshin lore is that it has established time and time again we cannot take any given source in game as unalienably true not even stuff like basic narration in character stories and in fact you often should not because a lot of the information provided is written or told from the point of view of completely fallible not-all-knowing individuals that only says as much as they Could possibly know in their own position existing in the genshin world, which means you have to constantly be making assumptions and taking leaps of faith to try and piece together concepts as basic as “who the hell even gives vision holders their visions”.

like i think this is very cool personally and it’s been made a super obvious Theme that they wanna explore within the game with shit like zhongli’s entire first story quest or the existence of that sumeru scholar guy on watatsumi who is actively rewriting enkanomiya history bc it’s what he believes is right, but then this tendency often results in a lot of vague/subtle information that hasn’t been fully explained in game (bc genshin hates progressing its own story and expanding on things apparently) being forcefully made to “make sense” in an easily digestible way so players can understand the story and/or worldbuilding in simpler terms. which is a noble cause but then all it does is spread info that has never been confirmed to be true as factual canon and then ppl have annoying long ass arguments about this stuff over who is right and wrong wrt to random pieces of genshin lore when all along the only true to game answer we have rn is “we literally do not have enough info on xyz thing yet to say either way oh my god”

#x #gi posting #everyone and everything in genshin is an unreliable narrator lol #this was specifically a result of me thinking of kaeyas lore and how many assumptions we have to make to reach any kind of conclusion #or understanding regarding what exactly he was even sent to do in mondstadt #bc the fact of the matter is we don’t fucking know and it’s so infuriating to see the implication that he was obviously sent to ‘destroy #mondstadt’ he treated as absolute fact when we don’t know that!! #we don’t know or understand the full extent of the goals and circumstances of the faction of khaenriah that kaeya came from at all #like theres dozens of possible theories regarding what they could possibly want from kaeya #from being an active ‘spy’ to acting as a sort of trojan horse to just being a pawn meant to be collected on the day of #reckoning LIKE #i even saw a more benevolent n sympathetic idea that kaeya was planted as their last hope n that his only mission was to live n thrive bc #maybe his group has little chance left wherever they’re residing rn + dealing w the curse n stuff #like no one has told us what kaeya is meant to do!! we don’t know! we’re just making wild guesses n being like yea that makes the most sense #n running with it which like sure fine that’s the whole point of genshin theorising and speculation but it drives me nuts when ppl treat it #like an absolute lmao

I am thinking about this one time when I saw a person refer to Funny Valentine as a "worse Enrico Pucci". I hadn't finished Steel Ball Run at the time, but now that I've finished it, I have to say that I... don't get it. You could draw some similarities between the two of them, but overall they're pretty different characters.

#rambles #short posts #besides the fact that they're just blatantly different in personality goals story structure plan powers. et cetera. #pucci is more morally complicated than valentine #you could say valentine is sympathetic to an extent... but that's mostly skin-deep and he has some vile beliefs. #there's really nothing good to his plan and he's still evil even if he believes that he's doing it 'for the good of america' #pucci was manipulated by an evil piece of shit as a kid but still wanted what's best for the world #the WHOLE world. no exceptions like fv #the problem was that 1. he murdered and manipulated his way to get his goal and 2. his plan for the world was a terrible idea #not because of bigoted reasons like valentine but because of pucci's beliefs that stemmed from his past trauma #fate ruined his life. obviously he would think that ''heaven'' would be a world in which everyone knew their fate before it happened #idk where im going with this #i dont get like... the attitude ppl have on tumblr where fv is somehow a terribly written villain #he's really not. there's actually some really solid writing there if im being honest #just bc a character is hateable doesn't mean they're poorly written #yeah i fucking hate funny valentine but he's also super interesting (if you coudlnt tell by all the paragraphs ive been writing abt him) #i still like pucci more though
