#because foreshadowing or whatever

[steveybucky]

Me after 3 glasses of wine: I just wish we had gotten more Steve being an artist. I want to see Steve doodling on napkins, Steve having someone snap their fingers in his face to get his attention because he gets so absorbed in his work. I want to see Steve flipping through an old sketchbook the museum recovered that’s mostly drawings of Bucky because they were such good friends

#steve rogers #stucky #bucky barnes #captain america #you know that if we had gotten a scene of Steve looking through a sketchbook in catws #that he would’ve stopped on a drawing of Bucky and just looked at it sadly #because foreshadowing or whatever #I NEED

Horse Meshi. Delicious, in Horse.

#dungeon meshi #laois touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuk tims #Anne II #I am over a week late to make this relevant but dear god I love the kelpie chapter. #if not for the several layers of foreshadowing then the reveal that nearly everyone in the party is a passionate horse lover. #Truly the best part of dungeon meshi is the sheer love of horses each character has. Fantastic equines by Ryoko Kui. #Chilchuck gets to be a little wary given what goes down in the bicorn chapter. #Rest in peace Anne I and Anne II. You were beautiful horses. #The pain I felt upon re-reading dungeon meshi and realizing that Senshi called the kelpie Anne...Hurts bad! #By the way I have strong feeling about MLP AU with these characters - but I would like to assert that Senshi is earth pony coded #and chilchuck is pegasus coded. I was struggling to draw my vision and went with whatever my pen chose. #Laios is a griffin because...come on if he made a MLP AU of his friends he would be nothing else.

I just skimmed through the art part of your blog and holy bajeebus your LMK art is so beautiful and the headcanon ideas you come up with are so good I wanna steal em-

Kinda wanna see like a part 2 of the little angst you did between MK and Macaque a while ago. It's so interesting and I wanna see Macaque's reaction in your art style. (You don't have to of course, it's just a suggestion [idk if i spelled that right])

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day/night!

Hope this is to your liking ^^

Part one here

I saw a j0neris post today that said that “all that text but jonsa only has subtext”

BESTIE AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT, which is so much more than you can say for yourself

#it’s so rich coming from a j0nerys blog because what do you have?????? what? #you all saw that blue flower in a chink of an ice wall and lost your minds #because it’s foreshadowing for Lyanna’s son being on the wall not whatever you assumed #the mental gymnastics it must’ve taken though #jonsa #also stop being so obsessed about us and worry about your own ship #it has nothing #it only got popular after the show introduced it because main hero main heroine (in their eyes) etc #don’t even get me started on how far up d@ny’s ass the show was #anyway #on with my day

Okay so obviously I'm freaking out over the fucking ending of the episode

But there was a moment I noticed earlier when Hen and Eddie were tossing the ball around.

Chim comments on it saying "...it's unnatural, Hen. Like the two of you down there tossing that ball around." With his teasing smile.

My brain went directly to that being a joke about her being a lesbian, and how she doesn't 'play with balls' because of that and how, well, to Chim Eddie is straight so he also doesn't usually play with balls.

And the LOOK EDDIE SHOOTS HIM.

Like they chose to cut to Eddie. That was on purpose, it meant something!

And like.. could it be a joke about how they're not usually playing catch? Or that they're not... Athletic?? Or something??? Yeah maybe, but that doesn't fit, or make much sense if I'm honest.

So I'm sticking with it being a 'playing with balls' joke. And with Eddie giving Chim that look because he's queer and how dare Chim insinuate anything else

Genuinely wondering just how much the voids knew about the other contestants real life selves, like, Mikado didn't even know Kanade was a serial killer, he just brought the twins in for their loose connection to Tsurugi.

What really keeps me up at night is; did Emma knew Kokoro was an abusive parent? If she did that just adds a whole another layer to their interactions and Dra chapter 2's case.

Because Emma spent her childhood in an abusive household with her piece of shit father before she was saved by Utsuro and his luck, yet during the Sdra2 Killing game one of the people she interacts with the most is the one that grew up to use her own daughter as a lab rat for her experiments.

Which then leaves the implication that, if Emma knew about Kokoro's real world self, she was acting during the times where she was nice to Mitsume and tried to get her to open up more, because i genuinely can't think she would be that nice to someone who she knows is as bad as her father + it wouldn't be out of character for someone whose talent is acting.

This is such an interesting way to think of their relationship to me, especially when it ultimately ends with Emma killing Kokoro, a victim of child abuse killing a child abuser.

Tho i am inclined to believe Emma didn't know the truth about her since she doesn't seem to bear much hatred towards Mitsume herself in the ch2 post trial, and the anger she does display is potrayed as being because Kokoro triggered her trauma and not anything out-of-simulation related

#because if she knew then i feel like she would bear more anger towards Kokoro in those moments #maybe even say something like “she had it coming” or whatever #which in itself would be a way to foreshadow the twist later down the line #since at this point the other cast wouldn't understand why Emma would say that to someone like Kokoro. who they believe to be a good person #oh well another missed opportunity #sdra2 #super danganronpa another 2 #emma magorobi #kokoro mitsume #hyena ramblings

Maybe the trick is to come up with the meta after I start writing. After failing to finish so many started stories, I got in the habit of having an outline and characters and themes before I started a story. But the stories I've finished lately have been much more spur-of-the-moment. I'll have a basic idea for what I want to happen in the story, start writing, and then start digging deeper as the stuff I write gives me new ideas about how the story should go and what the story means.

This means the writing process is a continuation of the fun brainstorming process, rather than a frustrating failure to live up to the cool story I came up with during the brainstorming process. I don't have to try to fit in all the cool foreshadowing and set up character traits or whatever. I can just write and have fun watching the story grow. It's not outlining or discovery writing or even "plantsing". It's just trusting that I know how to shape a story and letting myself have fun doing it. By letting the ideas take shape with the writing rather than coming up with too much cool stuff before.

#adventures in writing #anyway the 12dp retelling is going great #anytime i actually sit down to write it i have fun #because i'm not worrying about whether i've got good characters or whatever #because i'll figure them out as i go #and i can come back for the foreshadowing later #i know this is all basic writing advice but also one of those things where you have to learn for yourself what it feels like #so you can recognize it when it happens #as the great cheap trick put it #you've gotta hold on loosely but don't let go #if you cling too tightly you're gonna lose control

[itspileofgoodthings]

it’s about the shift between meeting them and discovering their youth and their shyness and Romeo saying “I wish I was your bird” and Juliet saying “I can’t remember why I came back” (because she can’t handle looking in his eyes) and Romeo saying “I’ll just stay here forever looking at you until you remember it” and then suddenly remembering the gut punch of the prologue and the ending

#if some random tv showrunner decided to tell this story of two teenagers who kill themselves #because they think they can’t live without each other tbh it would NOt be valid #it takes a master to pull it off without glamorizing or degrading #but Shakespeare is quite literally the master. and the play hits exactly as hard as it should #anyway this is my 4th time teaching it and my 6th time reading it and one of its most powerful qualities #is that you FORGET the ending #like. there is something in the dialogue/story/humor wipes the ending out of your mind #and it just …. it never feels possible. it feels like the farthest thing #and there’s even foreshadowing! and predictions but you don’t feel it #you just feel the sunshine of it and the jokes and the shy teenagers and the crass servants #and then on the OTHER side the clumsy almost grotesque violence of the feud and emotionally you’re just like ‘whatever’ #and then suddenly the end of the play hits and it is this EXPLOSION of almost accidental violence #hamlet ends in an explosion of violence but you know it’s coming. it’s inevitable almost #Romeo and Juliet it just …. falls out of the sky #and it is devastating #anyway re-tellings of Romeo and Juliet should change the ending actually #if you’re not Shakespeare make it happy actually #anyway #romeo and juliet #Shakespeare

[whileyoureinschoolidothisallday]

for the ask game - I need to know what categories dabihawks and shigadabi fall under for u 👀

- @yinyuedijun

HI MAO I would be delighted!!!!! Thanks for the ask! =D

Shigadabi - Makes sense, compels me. Simple and clean. Actually tied with dabitwice as my favorite canon dabi ship

Dabihawks - THIS ONE IS LESS CLEAR. On one hand, there are SO many thematic parallels between these characters and I like the idea of pairing Hawks with loud emotional borderline manic characters to contrast his near terrifying control, so on one hand I wanna say Makes Sense, Doesn't Compel Me. But on the other hand, HORI NEVER FUCKING DID ANYTHING WITH THOSE PARALLELS!!!!!!!!! IT LITERALLY HOLDS ZERO WEIGHT IN REGARDS TO THE CANON CHARACTERS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS!!!!!!!! IT BUILDS UP TO NOTHING!!!! So in that case, I have to say Doesn't Make Sense, Doesn't Compel Me.

Unfortunately it will always be Doesn't Compel Me cause I do not like Hawks as a character specifically in regards to the canon. Idk how Hori did it, but he literally created a character that is literally Cop Incarnate, down to his patchy-ass goatee, and it REPELS me. It's like I've literally already been a room with this man irl and I could feel the slime from proximity.

(It doesn't help that Hawks has a lot of potentially interesting parts to his character, but Hori never takes them further than that. He's literally ONLY Cop Incarnate. Which is why I think I CAN be persuaded to read him in fic form, because sometimes those traits are explored and given the appropriate amount of screen time!!! So then he's still Cop but at least gets to be interesting about it!!!!!)

(also the dabihawks/dabixhawksxreader fics I have read have been.....................................................................................we'll say juvenile, to be nice)

(on that note, I will say that the porn that comes from those two is hot as hell!!!!!!!!! They be puttin them boys in situations!!!!!!! 👀👀)

Stick a ship in my ask box and I'll tell you which of these options it is for me!

#ask box! #also when it comes down to canon I just strongly feel that Dabi is 1. #too petty #and 2. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too hard core about grudges to have anything to do with that man after killing twice #it doesn't even matter if it's in a fic where it's reconciled and they're working towards forgiveness or something with depth like that #I don't think there're many people in his adult life that dabi cared about more than twice platonic romantic whatever #and it would take A LOT of suspension of belief for me to believe that he could heal enough to forgive someone for that kind of betrayal #(especially because I think dabi blames himself a lot for twice's death too and forgiving himself is even harder) #PRIOR to killing twice???? that's in one of the 'makes sense' categories I could be persuaded to #(also side note I will never forgive hori for making shiggy and dabi's names mean bow and arrow and then NEVER DOING ANYTHING WITH IT!!!!!! #(THE AMOUNT OF FORESHADOWING THAT MAN PUT IN THE CANON AND THEN DROPPED WITHOUT A WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) #(IT'S LIKE FUCKING NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD TO MY WRITER BRAINJBSXFGJIOOI) #I'M SORRY I DUG INTO HAWKS SO MUCH I have a lot of thoughts about why I don't like dabihawks and I don't air them much cause I have manners #I WILL NEVER JUDGE YOU FOR LIKING HIM I GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lord-squiggletits]

Onyx Prime = Shockwave time travel plot is such shitty writing I could and WILL (eventually) write multiple essays about it it's so fucking bad.

#squiggposting #for a brief preview of what i would be writing #1. time travel was done better in the same continuity by JRO #2. the plot by barber completely contradicted and undid most of the themes he was trying to build up #3. the plot introduced a lot of shit out of nowhere with no foreshadowing and had to be done via excessive exposition #4. it's just a really fucking bad logic loop that relies on a character doing things 4 THE EVULZ and not because he's like a person #can't believe ppl are actually defending it because 'oh it's silly lol' #it's not just silly it's stupid and it destroys most of the agency and drama of the rest of the story #including parts of the story that the same people who like S = onyx also praise as good writing #have higher standards for writers ffs don't accept shitty writing just because he made some points you agree with #genuinely don't understand it at all lmao #like barber made a whole story about the legacy of colonialism and how history is propagandistic and corrupt or whatever #and then introduced the big plot twist that actually it was all machinated by just one guy #hmmmm and here i thought this story was about responsibility and the way bigotry seeps into society's instutitions or something #NOPE actually the reason society is racist and imperialistic is because one guy went back in time and decided to make all of it happen #and the reason that guy wants a cybertronian empire is because he was raised during the golden age... which was brought about by the primes #...who were created by that very same guy. so like it's just an infinitely repeating circular logic error #in which this guy's motivations exist bc of the times he lived in but he literally invented the times he lived in

mal in the grishaverse is to alina what jacob in twilight has been to bella. in this essay i'll...

#okay so in twilight jacob is like bella it's unnatural that edward is alive he should have been dead long ago. and if he was and he didn't #meddle with natura and the timeline i would be the one for you in our timeline. but he's here because he's extra special and that makes me #obsolete. because like alina and mal matched until they were both common and not special but now alina is a summoner and #she's the specialest of special girls and mal is throwing a tempter tantrum over that right #and they are like. they should be best friends and nothing more. #anyway that was point A #I'm over not one not two but three glasses of wine but even like this I know that one point justification belongs in my friends DMs not #an essay so let me present point B #so he's like the firebird right (he just circled her hand where the last amplifier would go and they felt weird #incredible foreshadowing btw) so like he belongs to her but only part of her belongs to him and that's very jacob vibes with all the #renesmee business. and also mal is just. so desperate to define himself by what he is to alina like he expects the answer to his own #identity crisis that is the consequence of his own actions (deserting literally no one asked that of him) from her #like the only way he thinks about defining himself is in relation to her . and like yeah ig they are teenagers and 'in love' or whatever #(they have zero chemistry while the darkling and nikolai are constantly standing next to alina and it works but ig I digress) #so i'm just constantly being told and they are in love and want a simple life (and that's the very thing that made me side with Gale instead #of Peeta back when so I'm probably primed to not want that for characters) but idk I just don't see it that they'd make such a good pair #anyway I guess this is a Mal hate post and I'm dragging the moder YA lit's each and every love interest into this 'analysis' #blueberry wine is excellent by the way would recommend #miaing

If the Magnus Archives were a TV show...

Martin would have a cracked phone screen.

It wouldn’t be like, really badly cracked, just a little one in the corner that gradually got bigger and bigger, but you wouldn’t really notice until a rewatch with how subtlety it grew.

It wouldn’t be something anyone would comment on, just a little detail

It’d still be cracked when he worked for Peter - maybe now it finally gets mentioned, Peter says he can buy Martin a new one, Martin says no he’s fine with the one he’s got, Peter gets him a new one anyway but Martin choses not to use it.

Bit weird, but confusing, most people just forget about it though

Until Jon and Martins argument in s5, where he drops it again, we switch to the phone lying on the floor, the cracks grow and shift until you finally realise what It’s looked like this whole time:

A spiders web.

The cracks turn white, or white substance comes out of them or something, and they stitch the phone back together until all that’s left is that tiny crack right some the beginning.

Screen goes black.

#yes I know this probably wouldn’t work because the entités dont like technology or whatever #but also shut up #subtle foreshadowing my beloved #the only reason he didn’t take the one Peter got him is “a weird feeling #AKA: the web pulling strings #the magnus archives #tma #magpod #the magnus pod #magnus pod #magnus archives #martin blackwood #tma martin #I love this man sm #don’t talk abt him enough #tma tv show #martin tma #the web #peter lukas #tma s4 #tma s5 spoilers #tma s5

i just think its like an incredible writing choice to throw up an entire arc where half the conflict comes from "ok. what if this leader acted like a complete hypocrite out of nowhere and none of their earlier characterisation mattered. and what if we just said ummmm darktail did this."

#the way mistystar is written is like. so strange #it is intentional but like. there was no reason for her to close the riverclan borders post-darktail regardless of her grief or whatever #like. it is never fucking stated why she does it. #it does seem like an interesting thing because the pov characters deliberate on it like. 'well riverclan should be collaborating with the o #ther clans as they heal and recover. mistystar is just secluding her clanmates. is she hiding something' #but no. the fire storm whatever comes and none of that shit is ever elaborated upon ever again. stupidest tension ever #i also think its strange because like. earlier when onestar was written the same way it was foreshadowing for darktail. it makes cents. #not for mistystar though they just gave up LOL

I've started playing Control because it inspired tma2 and I gotta say I get it. Like damn yeah. The Hiss? Polaris? O.O.P? Prime material right here. Now I'm excited for The Magnus Protocol. Gotta see how this game ends though

#hmmm i see you foreshadowing #and the intersecting imagery #i lost a little interest when the announcement happened #i'm still holding on to my boys okay #but now i'm excited because oh this is perfect for tma #set somewhere else is my guess #where if they forget something they can just say it's different in this universe #and also #use season 1 as fodder for the new universe #where they put whatever the magnus protocol is in place because of the tapes from season 1 #tmagp

🗡😋 for Helene please

Silly hc and badass for, ahem, My wife (yknow i say that a lot but i do wonder if anyone gets 'the reference') also imagine this is all like... au, rewritten.. i Still haven't finished wap

I think she burns Pierre's house down! hashtag girlboss!/s Now that could count as either funny or badass, i'll go with badass. I like to imagine his mansion (whatever it is) as a vessel for a lot of things with it changing depending on who we're seeing the perspective of (inspired by movie, The House, go watch it Now) Helene seeing it with architecture similar to a bird cage, lifelessly beautiful statues everywhere, no exits, no love only cold marble. And after a final confrontation between her and Pierre (dave you missed the opportunity for a Helene & Pierre so bad) she manages the impossible task of burning the manor of stone To The Ground. Symbolism for how she challenges what's considered unthinkable in there society, destroying what held her and so many other people captive to made up expectations, allowing new foundations and real warmth to grow. Then she just fuckin' dips! She fucks off to Poland, and rolling into the silly hc

I imagine she's the real reason Anatoles married to that polish girl! Her and that girl are in love baby! She sends her letters in Anatoles name all secretive though there obviously written by her. I think Anatole despite not being into the girl, is definetly annoyed by it (his poor masculinity, Sad Face /j) and uses it as leverage against her which isn't funny but considering in My end She gets to happily run off to Poland to her lover while he dies of like Dysentery in War or Whatever/j is very funny.

#/j on that last bit cause I know he dies of like #leg injury i believe it gets taken off which is fun because that could have some awesome foreshadowing #(when announcing he's leaving to petersburg he puts The Leg out the door and then the final image of him is his Terrified face) #yeah sorry if these don't fit the whatever i'm watching breaking bad (saying this is the new height of comedy for me) #waves hands ambiguously #hope you enjoyed #like and subscrib
