i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)
and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.
a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.
this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).
anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.
Why panda tho? 😭😭 Guys just trying to live like the rest, sukuna really is the one causing chaos
Let the innocent live :')
nothing against panda, he's just a silly stuffed cursed corpse, a cute one too, and the mom of the friend group dare i say. but really, im so desperate to have my men and women back id trade him for them im sorry T.T
if it were upto me though, the shibuya incident never happened. even suguru didn't deflect and he's happily teaching the students in jjk high along with satoru. haibara also lived btw. no deaths happened they're happily living and killing curses <3
solas babygirl do you not have an opinion on whether we should side with the mages or the templars in this close the breach storyline. as the theoretical physicist of this group, I feel like the advisors should be asking you, the one who stabilized the mark, about which is the smarter choice, instead of my inquisitor, mr. I Dont Remember Anything.
Dorian couldn't help but smile at that notion, of his and Randall's children being just as close as they were when they were younger...it was a notion that warmed his heart as they walked along, the sun hanging high in the sky, showering them with light and warmth through the branches of the trees, and the green leaves of summer.
"I...I never had very many friends growing up," he confessed. "Both before and after I went to boarding school-I would say that Elizabeth and Randall were my closest and truest friends. I would spend time with the children of my father's business partners, other high-class children my age, but...I could never connect with them. They were more like acquaintances to me, really."
It was a lonely childhood, honestly; up until he met Randall, the only friend he had his own age was Elizabeth, with his only other friend being Beau, who he fondly looked up to from a very young age, and more often than not turned to for help or advice or comfort (and even as an adult, he sometimes found himself doing the same thing)…he felt like he was surrounded by others, children his own age, but...he could never quite befriend them. Something just never sat right with him, and so they remained distant to him.
"I hope my own children's lives won't be the same," he sighed. "I want to make sure they never have as lonesome a childhood as I did."
It has come to my attention that Tumblr does not know about Mitch Downe, gay himbo.
Mitch Downe (from the movie Paranorman (2012)) was a side character that could, perhaps, be described as a himbo. Let's examine this. Three core tenants of himbo are thus: buff/hot (personally I lean more towards a himbo having to be attractive, since not all men are able to achieve or desire the large body type, and I'm all about #inclusivity and #bodypositivity /hj); kind, heart of gold, women respect juice in a flask by their hip ready to drink at any time; and dumb. Just dumb. Not much brain activity. I suppose a himbo, then, describes a man by the activity of his heart and body, not his mind.
Anyway. Let's see if Mitch fits the criteria.
Exhibit A: Built.
Exhibit B: Dumb as shit
Exhibit C: Respects women/heart of gold?
This is where Mitch Downe stumbles as a certified himbo. He is kind of rude to the protagonist in one scene, calls a woman by an incorrect name in another, but he does help the protoganists out through their journey, so you kind of have to weigh that balance out yourself. He's so dumb he doesn't really appear to have much in way of a personality outside of it, neither positive nor negative? He does, however, respect women so much he doesn't date them. (/j)
I expected Mitch to be an obscure choice, and in hindsight, he was not the best choice for a 'Himbo of All Time' poll, (that space should've gone to Fraser, tbh, but didn't remember him I'm so sorry) but goddamn NO ONE? What is going on there? My god. The gods themselves forgot about Mitch. His name is blotted out from the book of heaven or something.
Alright that's the end though, disappointed in Tumblr slightly but more disappointed in myself ultimately, I guess.
...I'm just gonna sort these into categories by vibe because I don't have a definite ranking (somehow even less than usual). Here are the ships I tend to fixate on:
Favorite Rivals ship: KuroTsuba, ditto. These two are so weird, confusing, and befitting of this month, gay. Kuroji's obsession with Tsubakura is utterly hilarious, and I like seeing them bicker.
Favorite "Like a Married Couple" ship: YaoSuku. These two are so cute and silly. I like watching this silly haniwa parent this grumpy old snake (with sword attachment issues), not to mention their character development is very sweet. Also, I love how they bicker (mainly on "how" to go about the thingy) lol.
Favorite Story Potential Ship: For some baffling reason, KuroSara. I don't even know why. I guess I just like their fighting and the character development potential if given it. Or maybe I focused so hard I found it weirdly endearing? I don't even know lol. (More a BroTP here than anything though; I don't see them in a very strong romantic context, unlike all the others that are either or.)
Favorite Rarepair: JunSara. Everyone has a rarepair, and this one is mine. They've never even talked, but it's still here lol. I think I just over thought like I tended to, and now here we are lol. Both can make it rain, and are frequent targets of bullying, so maybe that can go somewhere? Something I guess lol.
Favorite Tsuba Ship (that isn't already on this list): YaoTsuba. I just find the flirting angle funny lol. Also, Orochin is just fun to tease like that. So why not? It's also probably a rare pair, but I've seen more fanwork done for it than JunSara, so I'm putting it here lol.
...And those are my top 5 ship picks! That aren't really a top 5, but there are 5 here so I say it counts!
I came to terms with the Sol kinnie thing months ago now because honestly who gives a shit, but every now and then I'll find myself in a situation where I wonder if whatever it was I was about to do was/is a pre- or post-Guilty Gear interest lol
*argyle voice* there is some clownery happening in the fandom tonight my dudes
but seriously, to make a long story short, a lot of y’all REALLY need to learn the difference between “bad writing/bad t.v” and “I personally did not like the direction they took the storyline/characters”
I think 5x09 really bothers me bc I think they derailed Peter’s character to ‘justify’ Neal being mad at him, esp at the end of the ep. S5 in general felt really over the top w/ making Peter (as in Peter himself, not the entity of the Bureau) the jerky bad guy? Like that moment at the end of 5x09 felt absolutely unnecessary to the drama and conflict. It feels abrupt and out of character. Peter being conflicted about what happened and upset about Neal tampering w/ evidence, esp bc that’s something that could always come back is one thing, I get that. Being torn between the fact that it saved him, his personal love of Neal, the fact that this can always come back, the fact that Neal, who he’s trying desperately to help stop being impulsive and self centred, did something impulsive and dangerous for him. But to me, that’s enough drama, we don’t need Peter suddenly being a shallow jerk to Neal about it at the end. If anything, it’s more effective/in character imo for him to more internalise it and blame himself for not being able to keep Neal out of this mess. I just feel like the last two seasons treat Peter pretty shittily, and it upsets me. Bc you don’t need to make Peter be a controlling jerk to up the drama and tension about getting Neal free. There’s plenty of tension and drama in Neal realising that Peter’s fighting a losing battle for him and is at risk himself—they sneeze at that occasionally, but there’s too many times of them just. Making Peter suddenly be a rude jerk to Neal despite all the time they’ve spent together. Like. The U-Boat thing??? S3??? Neal’s done/been involved in shit like this before, and Peter covered for him?? Peter told him to run when Kramer was about to loophole him into a life sentence. He told Neal to evade arrest. Technically legal arrest. I can see Peter being frustrated with not being able to help Neal stop being an impulsive teenager (I know he’s not a teen, but he’s as impulsive as one on occasion), I can see him being upset about the whole bribing a prosecutor, fake evidence stuff. I see him being upset w/ that having to be on Neal’s hands bc of him. I can see him worrying that all his efforts to help Neal reform have made things worse. But I don’t see him saying that to Neal. That’s bullshit forced drama bc they wanted them at odds. I’m glad it doesn’t really get carried into s6, but… Imo, s5 is not great. There’s a couple good moments, I’m always here for found family caring about each other and being threatened w/ each other, but there’s a lot of stuff in it I could just do w/out. And making Peter into a sudden jerk for Drama is one of them.
