#her return w be interesting

[comradekatara]

listen to me carefully. a key part of toph’s arc is going from dismissing sokka outright bc he’s not a bender to thinking that he is the coolest person ever. you do not understand toph if you don’t get this.

#like I want to be clear I am not joking about this in the slightest #her relationship to sokka is so soo so important to her character #like her relationships w aang and katara and her parents and even iroh #are all very interesting and layered #but it is 100% sokka who catalyzes her personal growth who completely rearranges her soul #and her relationship to her own self worth #and toph is SO important to sokka in return #like she is his BEST FRIEND and that cannot be overstated enough #ugh. I just love them. I love their relationship #no one truly gets it. but I do #toph #sokka #sokka&toph #hot takes

ok so we're all in agreement that the way the show is handling trixie and matthew's storyline is complete shite right?

#call the midwife #call the midwife series 13 #don't usually like putting negativity in tags but.... i am seriously so frustrated by this lol #not only does it just... not make sense with EITHER characters #it also just feels like a totally lazy way to add drama... #like there's totally a way they could have added a money-issues storyline that could have been really interesting! #but pointless miscommunication? matthew being a chauvinistic dickhead? trixie have barely any of her own agency??? nah nah #fuck that lol #also looks like they're going to make her return to alcoholism in the finale which is completely annoying #like there were whole SERIES dedicated to her getting help with it!! #and it was amazing! it was one of the few times i've seen alcoholism depicted with such care on screen PARTICULARLY w/ a female character #uguhughuu idk #i'm just ranting here soz lol #and like ctm has made some very strange choices in terms of characters and plotlines in the past #but this one really feels like it's taking the piss imo lol...

Mike yelling at everyone for expecting El to fight for ‘no reason’ in s3… please Mike, share with the class what would qualify as a valid reason for El to fight?? Will being in danger perhaps? The plot of s1-2 perhaps?

#byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #i think it’s really interesting tjay in s1-2 mike never asks el if she WANTS to help #she’s in danger and is running from bad men #and Mike feels the urge to help her bc she is in a situation that no kid should be #but then also his best friend is missing #and this girl has super powers and knows where he is??? #Mike doesnt take a moment to talk with el to assure helping and straining herself and her powers #if this is what she wants to be doing #and i think el interprets that as this being a requirement for her to stay around #she also recognized Will and so for all we know she did want to help #but the back and forth between both Mike and Dustin and Lucas sort of doubting her #and in worst case scenarios lashing out #ultimately leading to her sacrifice #it makes sense why Mike specifically felt sooooo much guilt #bc he just expected her to help w/out asking first if that’s what she wanted to do #and so then she returns in s2 ALIVE #and yes relieved #but again Will is in danger again #but el is also putting herself in danger after JUST returning #yet mike doesn’t try to convince her to not fight despite the dangers implied #bc the reason for her fighting is valid to him #i just think it’s interesting that the instant Will being in danger is off the table #Mike is now suddenly critical that they need a more justified reason for her to fight #who wants to guess that if Will’s well being wasnt involved #Mike never would have all those doubts in s3 about el going through with it #he might have told her to be careful bc he doesn’t want to lose her #but i don’t think he would have tried to convince her to not fight #i just find that to be something we should examine… in terms of understanding mikes deeper feelings/guilt (survivors)

now that there’s been a main character sacrifice this means nobara can come back!

#all these theories on how gojo isn’t dead when I haven’t forgotten how nobara is quite literally suspended in her state #like if ANY character has a return that’s set up it’s her 😭 #I’m so sad over gojo but I need all the kids to be able to move forward and actually change things #and for all I love gojo he WAS a complicated character #and he tried but also he was stuck in a place where his strength kind of contradicted the future he wanted #don’t get me wrong I would’ve been ok w him surviving but losing his technique/energy #since that’s interesting as hell too imo #but I just think if anyone deserves a whole comeback it’s nobara ahfjdjdjjf #jjk spoilers #jjk 236 #also nobara returning would heal me #idc for anyone who says she should stay dead idc idc #I think the writing left it very open even if that was just gege not knowing what to do w her #so it literally would Not bother me writing wise if she came back #yea the wait for the reveal was toooo long but I would be 100000000000% ok and unbeliably happy about it 😃 #yesI’m making gojo dying about nobara. I’m trying to move on (still devastated over gojo rip) #jujutsu kaisen #kugisaki nobara #gojo satoru

“My only hope is for one word. A simple, trivial word from a certain person…”

bungou stray dogs is an anime that iv had a fondness for since like..2018. but only now am i doing fanart for it, as iv gotten back into it via a rewatch with my friend ^_^ akutagawa was my favorite character as a mentally ill 15 year old and continues to be my favorite character as a mentally ill 20 year old

#scribbles #ryuunosuke akutagawa #bungou stray dogs #bungou stray dogs fanart #bsd fanart #some general rambles abt my relationship w this anime incoming #nowadays its not a super serious interest cuz all my love to me i feel iv kinda outgrown how... hot topic slogan-y it is (ALL MY LOVE) #and i have a better eye for some of the issues in it. but its still got a nice place in my heart #i dunno if this person is still...around? but i first watched it with a friend as a teenager and i enjoyed it! #and when i fell outta touch w that friend i'd wanted to return to this anime but always felt bad about it. cuz it was Her Thing #but nowadays i have another pal (hi dark) who i watch a lotta anime with and i decided to take this opportunity to properly rewatch it and #idk im happy i am #especially bc when i first watched this anime in my youth it was a period where i was still freshly affected by like. trauma #and that colored my perception of it (COUGH MY DAZAI HATRED SORRY hes still kinda annoying tho) #(i'm way more normal about him now though XD) #and in general its a very Mentally Ill Teenager anime. so its cool to return to it as a more #mature well adjusted person. just finished season 1 of my rewatch and im eager to fall back in love w this show haha #anyway all that aside LOOK AT THIS RENDERING IM SO PROUD OF ITTTTT

Lady's line "I'm just gonna double check" while walking off after everyone's finally in one place always confused me, but what if that's her cover for going someplace quiet to have a complete breakdown? Hell, it could be code for Trish, Lady, and Dante. Lord knows they all need a good cry now and then

#devil may cry #i get this is family drama: the game series but im still upset that lady and trish get glossed over so horrendously #theyre family too dammit!! #let them have more presence in the story!! #their stories are just as compelling and interesting but theyre barely allowed to be anything more than eye candy #tho i will say that trish not bullshitting V and Lady being a big sister to Nero are amazing scenes and i want the boys to return the favor #nero commissions a gun for lady w some stupid meme and it instantly becomes her favorite weapon #vergil is ofc awkward abt everything but the moment he finds out she enjoys smth he leaves gifts wherever she will find them #whether its chocolates or phone charms or special ammo he'll get it for her and they never speak abt it ever #give me awkward complex and highly traumatized found family or give me death

a sumi haircut variation ive been testing out. i wanna say its a bit post-canon, not too far off, maybe a year or so. hasnt quite figured out what to do with herself yet, but shes getting there. only a little ways away from graduation.

#the clock chimes at midnight #selk.art #okay because im going stir crazy in my beautiful mind here. i forgot where everyone in the royal ending went so ive just kinda been doing a #post canon au based entirely arnd sumire and the only person whos really gone is ren. the others are in school and stuff still lol #ANYWAYS she and ren start dating a few weeks before 2/3 and after they restore the world its a very tumultuous start considering ren #immediately gets sent to jail. even after he gets out theyre both grieving akechi + it feels like theyre just going through the motions. #everyones like omg we could tell this was gonna happen! and it makes them uncomfortable for reasons they cant articulate #ren is using sumire to get over akechi + sumire is modeling rens identity + both see akechi in the other and are sad abt it #on top of all that they get into a huge fight when sumire learns rens leaving in like. a month. and she didnt know. #(he genuinely didnt realize she didnt know but gets bitchy in return) #they try to make it work long distance for a month/two but eventually mutually breakup (both a little bitter but agree to remain friends) #overall its a cute relationship with um . very odd undertones. #anyways she still wears her hair straight up or straight down during all that point. HAHAHA remember this is abt hair! #after ren leaves she latches onto ann + ryuji who are still going to school w her. and after the breakup simply bc #ryuji is a Boy and sumire is a Girl and They Enjoy Being Around Each Other they both reflexively think abt getting together #sumire starts to imitate him (bc for some weird reason she keeps wanting to be like boys!) and ryuji is like am i breaking bro code rn.. #nothing ever happens bc neither actually wants to date the other and ann is always hanging around but its an odd time for everyone #she bleaches the tips of her hair for a little bit but its so small when she gets it chopped off its like nothing happened lol #this is probably around third year when ann/ryuji have graduated and the only thief around is futaba. #and. please nobody kill me for this. i think the two have interesting thematic similarities but the ship between them has always felt like #pairing the same-age spares to me. and i havent read anything thats convinced me of its full potential yet. #that to say i think theyre friendly but not super close. so sumire has to learn to just. exist by herself for the first time in years. #like i said this is probably when this actual haircut starts getting used. shes figuring it out! #after she graduates shes the first one to find akechi again and theyre both doing a lot better and become very close. #they move in together! platonically! unless...? but thats not the point! akechi helps her realize shes transmasc at which point she gets a #real short haircut. i cant decide. theres one thats like a curly haired bob almost and one thats shorter + looks kinda windswept #and thats all the haircut hcs i have for her postcanon timeline! spreads hands jazz hands. not all the timeline hcs but my thumbs r tired.

lots of riya thoughts. no brain power to word them

#mega depression hit + massive headache attempting to assassinate me #smth smth she's the closest she has been in months to home but she can't return #she's in a city that she heavily relates to her dead lover but has no time to even process it #too many of her party members seemed cool w immediately killing a guy without talking to the group #(he was bad but like. mm) #mage vindication of bodying an encounter + saving a life by the use of a single spell #finding a new interest in a type of magic that she's willing to practice (which probably hasn't happened to her for years) #big bro regulus n how she won't be able to spend time w him 😭😭😭

one of your posts made me remember that I used to be obsessed with riva ras regas when I was a kid because i had a crush on rufus lol

This is so valid, Anon!!! I also had a pretty big crush on him when I was a kid. I think it was a combination of his voice, his stage presence, and how sweet he was with his cat. 😂 He’s for sure one of the reasons I love Riva Ras Regas so much! You’re not alone at all, Anon!

#thanks for the ask! 👋 #Rufus Raucous #still obsessed with the speech he gives abt street magic and his desire to return to his roots and find his passion for magic again #also the way his face just ✨lights✨up whenever he sees his cat! so sweet #his relationship w/Phylidia is also so interesting. on the one hand he abandoned and hurt her deeply and on the other he clearly cared abt #her and wanted to do what he could for her once he found out she was working as Mr. Wackypants #he’s definitely an interesting character for sure #I think Riva Ras Regas touches on sexism in performance industry a bit w/Phylidia’s motivation #she was pretty much his apprentice and by all rights should have succeeded him when he disappeared but she was always only considered the #assistant so she never got her own spotlight. Rufus doesn’t seem to have anticipated it all either #he’s so genuinely surprised by her working for Wackypants it definitely makes you wonder if he didn’t assume Phylidia would take his place #as well and that’s part of the reason he was so comfortable with leaving. bc the spotlight is definitely what Phylidia wants and Rufus #seems to hate it. gives a strange tension to their dynamic. Rufus has everything Phylidia wants but doesn’t care. he has privileges he’d #rather not have and responsibilities he’d like to abandon. it’s also interesting bc him and Phylidia clearly had very different ideas abt #their profession and what it means to love magic. Phylidia tells the gang there’s no way Rufus faked his death bc he wouldn’t walk away bc #he loved magic too much. but in reality that was WHY Rufus walked away. BC he loved magic and felt the stage was diminishing his love for it #for Phylidia the magic is in the performance and for Rufus the magic is in the tricks yet Rufus is the one with the stage #very interesting. anyways sorry for the long ramble I think too much abt these things #WNSD #meta

when oh when will i have the motivation to write my trans bruce banner thesis fic wherein rick immediately clocks him as an egg but doesn't say anything because bruce is kind of going through it rn

#they go on a little road trip across the desert and then they get picked up by the military #and betty takes rick back to her flat after telling bruce he's selfish for letting rick come this far with him (she's right) #and then bruce goes on the run from the military (again) after escaping and the stuff happens with jen to make her she hulk #and rick (who's been tracking disturbances of this kind in order to find bruce) sees this on the news and asks betty to come w him #so they go to minnesota and find out that it's not actually bruce it's jen! and betty and jen have their mini gay arc #where betty already knows she's gay and feels neutral on jen and jen thinks she's stright but is going insane for betty #and rick gets like a semblance of a normalish life w betty except betty has a lot of issues from her childhood e.g. her mum dying #and then rick #meanwhile bruce has been joining the avengers and thinking steve is being transphobic #he's not. steve is also trans he just doesn't like bruce as a person #and then rick breaks into the avengers compound when bruce is off world with thor (ragnarok era) and yells at steve and tony <3 #and rick becomes steve's sidekick as he did in the comics #and then bruce returns! family reuinion! #reunion. whatever #and everyone learns the power of community and also tony dies #sequel fic dealing with rick's INSANE jealousy when peter joins bc HE should be the youngest coolest trans guy there #what do you MEAN he isn't the baby anymore. that he isn't the most funny and interesting and smart (in his own way) transmasc. #what the HELL everyone is meant to be on his SIDE #bruce voice (without looking up from his work) nobody's taking sides rick be a bit more mature about this #rick voice MATURE????

lmfao

tfw this person u barely know but is friends(?) with the person u killed a prince with so theyre coming with u on the run. they go out to get clothes with said friend. accidentally nearly kill a guy & then get the town guards looking for them. & they come back to ur place so u pull them into ur room to hide out as the guards talk to ur adopted mom at the front door. and after they leave ur gonna go to look out the front window of ur room and ur like "You should hide under the bed to make sure they can't see you in here." & theyre like "Are you Serious?" & u (aka Fang) is just like. a lil snarkily, "Or you could hide in the bed. We could say you're a customer." & theyre like "Oh, don't tempt me with a good time." & then u just kinda Smirk & push them towards the bed b4 going to peek out the window as they ultimately hide under the bed and just

what . a fuckin moment . fang is not rly one to flirt outside of the job so this kinda took me by surprise lmfao. but i think a lil friendly flirt banter with a new friend is a GREAT vibe we r starting

#speculation nation #d&d #fang #just a lil fun on the side as u hide out until ur ride's ready to go. Flirt Banter. #i feel so bad for his adopted mom dlkfjsdf she's put up with so much bullshit for him lately lmfao #god tho. fang basically initiated that flirt banter w/ the bed detail. lmfao #IT'S not actually the first time he's made lil jokes like that. usually it just goes unacknowledged. #like when the scientist lady was looking for him & had him undress and he was just lying there #& he made a quip as she poked at him about how 'usually i ask for more money before i get to this point' #but she was just like 'oh is the food not enough? it'll be up here soon' just completely missing it. and he just let it slide #............ and now im talking w/ this person's player and lksjdflksdjf very real chance this character's gonna end up hiring him #at some point or another. #sometimes a party can contain a previous sex worker by profession who. i guess it would be a Side Hustle now #& the very lawless tiefling who wants SO badly to steal a ship. & who's also very interested in hiring him #like. he doesnt NEED to . but also. if she's OFFERING the gold. he's not gonna say no lmfao #really wondering what dear paladin will think of this. with her maybe budding crush for fang in return #this could definitely make things interesting. especially since she already hates this girl lmfaoooo #and fang. clueless. is like 'money is money' & he will never say no to some easy gold #im just. living for this. i love dnd

‘the king of curses doesn’t like sharing. especially not when it comes to his partner.’

☀︎｜tags. heian era!sukuna x female reader. sfw/fluff ? ig. set in the heian era, duh. jealousy & possessive themes. size difference (reader gets referred to as small!). tried to be realistic w/ sukuna’s characterisation so. . . don’t be surprised to read about him killing somebody. therefore, mentions of blood. reader is implied to have a fear of blood (dw sukuna takes care of it teehee). reader gets called 'brat'. not beta read; this sucks ass.

you were taking a stroll outside of the estate, the hem of the floral kimono you’re wearing lightly dragging along behind you. the weather was perfect with not a single cloud in sight.

a pair of silent footsteps follow yours and you sigh. even though it was an usual occurrence, you still aren’t used to having one of sukuna’s servants at your side at all times. your over protective lover insisted that it was for your own ‘safety’. as if anything or anyone could harm you whilst you stay within the four walls of the estate far up in the mountains.

sukuna is continuously busy and thus decided to assign you a personal maid that accompanies you and takes care of your every need when he isn’t able to. well - looking at the bright side of things - at least she tries her best to hide her presence from you. she tags along silently and only speaks when spoken to.

you stop near a sakura tree and tilt your head back to admire its beauty. after a few minutes pass, you hear a different pair of footsteps walking up your way. you turn your head and see a familiar male servant approaching you with his head held low.

his hands were holding onto a platter with a cup of warm tea and a few of your favorite delicacies. the brown-haired man greets you politely. maybe a bit too politely as his voice carries a bright smile, “good afternoon, my lady.”

you return the greeting with a smile of your own. it was like you to treat the servants around the estate with kindness and care — a total opposite of the king of curses. you take a pastry from the platter and look back up at the man, “thank you for bringing me these. i appreciate it greatly.”

the way you treat the ones of lower status has always been an admirable trait of yours. it might have stirred some forbidden feelings for you in the heart of the male servant. he knows that it was impossible - he’d seen how easily sukuna gets rid of those who get too close to you.

but, he isn’t here. the king of curses isn’t present in the current moment. the brown-haired male shifts in his place a little, fingernails digging into the material of the plate he was holding. he was going to do it — no one could hold him back. not even the maid who stood a couple steps away.

“y-you look very beautiful, my lady.” the servant stutters and bows his head at you. you are surprised to hear such a flattering sentence leave the lips of the man in front of you. none of the men around you had dared to be this straightforward in ages. they all knew the possible consequences that such actions could bring after all.

perhaps it was due to the absent intimidating presence of your lover. still, you can’t help but feel grateful. you giggle softly, covering your mouth with your free hand, “thank you so much.”

the male servant gulps at the sound of your laughter. ‘oh, how lucky the king of curses is - to have such a beautiful woman at his side,’ the man thought to himself. he was sure that he could treat you better than the indifferent sukuna himself.

he hesitates to continue the conversation for a second. there was an urge deep within him; to ask if you’d like to have some tea with him in the dining area. it would be extremely bold and maybe way out of line considering that you’re taken.

but, the way you reacted to his earlier compliment gave him a huge confidence boost. one that would sooner or later send him to his grave.

“would you perhaps be interested in joining me for a drink, my lady?” the servant asks and anything that happens after that instant, is all but a blur.

you can’t process the next few moments as everything happens way too fast. the last thing you remember seeing, was the servant before you. a sudden gust of wind passes by and the sounds of quick slashes fill your ears. you couldn’t figure out anything else as your vision gets blocked by something. or rather - someone.

a familiar and large hand covers the back of your head. the scent of the person holding you is also oddly familiar—a certain scent that made a shiver run down your spine from both excitement and light fear.

“sukuna?” you guess and guess correctly. your voice was muffled due to your face being smushed against his torso. you didn’t yet understand what happened, so you try to pull your body away from the king of curses, only for his grip on you to tighten.

sukuna’s face was as emotionless as ever. his eyes look down at the pile of blood near your feet — what was once a human being had now turned into nothing but a pure crimson liquid.

“foolish. absolutely foolish.” the king of curses grumbles, his tone filled with disgust. he doesn’t soften the grip on your body for even a moment. one of his four arms holds you captive against him, his hand firmly yet somehow tenderly cradling your head just above his midriff, “it seems that i cannot leave this place for a single second.”

sukuna glances at your personal maid who had been bowing to him the moment he appeared out of thin air. she could feel his piercing gaze on her and knew exactly what to do without being told: to clean up the mess that stained the garden’s pavement.

“sukuna,” you try to move your head again, but was still restricted. you let out a small whine in response. you just wanted to see your lover after spending an entire day without him. any thoughts about that servant from earlier had long vanished, “i want to see you. can i?”

the request is an innocent one. there isn’t a visible change in sukuna's expression, but the way you asked him that was quite. . . endearing, if he were to explain it. he would comply if it wasn’t for the literal bloodbath he created. which he doesn’t want you to witness.

“not yet.” he replies and effortlessly uses one of his arms to pick your small body up. your lover notices how you try to steal a glimpse at the scene behind you while he moves you around in his embrace. he grunts and gently smacks the back of your head, “no peeking, brat. do as told.”

sukuna knows how much you hate the sight of blood. he's being considerate towards you — even if you do not realise that just yet. however, he also does not have a single regret about murdering that servant. it was to be expected. anybody who dares to make a move on his woman should suffer his wrath.

plus, it's not like you don't know about sukuna's ruthless actions. you’ve come to get used to them; more and more male servants keep dissappearing without a trace after they’ve been ‘too friendly' with you. it's easy to guess who’s behind those disappearances.

it doesn’t bother you in the slightest. as long as you don't see it happening and as long as you get to stay under sukuna's care and protection - you don’t mind.

“can i look now?” you huff after sukuna has carried you away from the garden. the king of curses clicks his tongue at your impatience.

he sighs deeply before allowing you back on your own two feet, “i do not understand why you’re so adamant on looking at me, but fine.”

you waste no time and immediately open your eyes. your gaze doesn’t wander off towards your surroundings—it instantly settles on sukuna. he looked the same as usual; there was not a single change about his appearance and yet you find yourself smiling at the sight of him.

“i missed you.” you hug your lover and feel him returning the gesture a few seconds later. he looks the other way and may seem indifferent to your display of affection, though the man was secretly grateful for it. for you in general.

“mhm.” sukuna lets out a small noise of acknowledgment and that is all you get out of him. he doesn’t have to say much; his body automatically does the talking. he squeezes your body against his — your small frame disappearing behind his beefy arms.

the king of curses doesn’t understand why, but the way your eyes sparkle when looking at him, intrigues him. sukuna had never seen another human look at him like that before after all. they all cower in fear; except for you. you don’t show a single ounce of fear. thus why you are something - someone - he must keep for himself.

he has and will never have any intent on sharing you with anyone. you’re his, for as long as he exists.
