#is just. on another level. man

[carlyraejepsans]

something something undertale establishing laughter/humor as a way to disguise helplessness. something something sans' character being built up as a prankster and a comedian. something something the moment where we see him laugh the most (both in dialogue and in sprite) is the genocide fight....

something something

#he grimaces and yells too don't get me wrong but especially when things start to get dire there. his laughing headsprite pops up #or he's winking #or he's straight up chuckling #like right before the fight after he asks if anyone can be a good person. and to say it all #i say chuckling because that's likely what toby intended. and that's how i read it too at first! undertale isn't an audio medium #not where character voices are concerned most of the time #but then i listened to this dub of the scene by timber puppers on youtube and he starts off pretty regularly. more sombre but still his #slightly goofy voice. and then he pauses. and he LAUGHS. frome wheezing to full throated down to a quiet chuckle #and it's... literally reshaped the way i conceptualized that scene. the rest of the dub is fine it's obviously quality #but that LAUGH. #is just. on another level. man #undertale #sans #metanalysis

I like to think that Leo one day decides to really play around with his portaling and teleportation abilities and see the full extent of them.

Like - continuously throwing one sword and teleporting to it while throwing the next one immediately and repeating this as long as he can to see how far he can keep it up without stopping.

Making little portals in the air that lead right up against the ground so he could potentially just stand on the portal in the middle of the sky.

Ultimate storage system - anything anywhere at any time is available if he knows where to get it (personally my headcanon for why he goes from two satchels to one in the movie.)

Phasing to avoid attacks - like, he could lightly toss a sword a single centimeter and teleport to it, and in that short amount of time he can completely avoid hits.

If they ever do go to space and end up on different planets, with enough training he can just…go there, whenever. Not only would this be great for being well traveled and having more places to go in general, but this also opens up more room for connections and allies that could assist them the next time they need help against a grand foe.

Leo can easily remove injured team members from a fight and get them help without having to account for transportation times.

On that note - Leo’s teleportation in particular acts on a particle level. It’s quite literally breaking him down into particles and remaking him every time he uses it. Both for him and for anyone he uses it on. Who’s to say it can’t be used for healing? At least for basic wounds.

None of this even touches upon the offensive potential of both portals and teleportation. Leo’s abilities flourish more as a support main, but that doesn’t mean those abilities can’t easily be used as weapons - and I don’t think I need to get into how exactly they can be. Portal chopping alone can take on a very different meaning…

Furthermore, I gotta wonder if he’ll always need the swords for this, or if he could one day be able to achieve the same results without them.

My point being - teleportation and portals are super OP. Even with the abilities Leo has in present they are so unbelievably adaptable and so fun to think about in terms of basic mechanics.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #I LOVE teleportation and portals and it’s one of the things that instantly latched me onto Leo #man I didn’t even touch upon how cool the potential for combining the bros abilities would be #that would be another post entirely #but yeah portals and teleportation #ESPECIALLY teleportation are so crazily adaptive and can be used for an insane amount of things if applied correctly #all the boys’ abilities laugh in the face of physics and reality #now I’m wondering if teleporting with someone else and THEN going through a portal WHILE TELEPORTING would mess with both of them #like…the Krang right? #Leo teleported them both through an open portal #wonder how that could mess with them on a particle level hmmmm especially considering the place the Prison Dimension is HMMMM #EDIT: YEAH SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED IT #but yeah them being hesitant to rely too much on these abilities in battle after the Krang makes sense #BUT #out of battle…now we’re talking #ngl out of battle mystics can be even more fun because they’re just pushing themselves and not being life and death about it #okay I’m gonna go further but consider the potential for transporting massive objects like VEHICLES too #like he could teleport the whole turtle tank or more in that case #and just think of the potential for space travel that could have #okay I’m stopping now #ACTUALLY NO IM NOT #consider Leo being able to stay in the in between of a portal #making it a little space he can access and stay in if he needs a moment alone #the dangers that could amount from it too tho like #godddd the possibilities #I don’t have enough tags to ramble as much as I want to :(

[aro-laurance-zvahl]

You ever think about how Garroth and Laurance’s fears could’ve been so much more interesting than what we got during the Malachi Arc? Like. Just imagine.

Garroth being cornered by a woman in a wedding dress, face covered by a veil as she says how nice it is to meet him even though her voice is flat, words clearly only for the politics. A voice echoing through the halls, saying things about lordship and domination and how Garroth will carry on his legacy whether he wants to or not because it is his duty.

Flames circling Laurance, people he loves and cares about standing lifelessly on the other side telling him how much of a monster he is, that their blood is on his hands. Other shadow knights standing with him in the circle, familiar faces or obscured by armor doesn’t matter because they’re treating him like a friend and not an enemy as the Shadow Lord’s voice crackles through the fire, telling him how well he’s done.

Or yknow. I guess Aphmau and Dante kissing works ig

#like #I guess I can excuse it for Laurance kinda #Aphmau is his lifeline to humanity and such #and seeing her love another man does canonically send him to hell #but Garroth? the boy has a fucking crush not something that would completely level his world if unrequited #I get the moment was just ship fuel and can be passed off as Malachi needing to find a common fear but like #idk have aphmah getting murdered while they can’t do Jack shit about it THAT speaks true into their fears more than some kisses #minecraft diaries #mcd #mcd laurence #mcd laurance #laurence zvhal #laurance zvhal #mcd garroth #garroth romeave #mcd aphmau #aphmau

Aroace Riz real but also Fabian is SO clearly in love with him and Riz has no idea

#honestly fabian might not even fully know yet #a core part of fabians character is that he is so deeply afraid of rejection that he is never going to pursue the people he actually wants #i do think he likes Maezy a lot but i think he only knows how to pursue hot toxic women that will discard him at a moments notice #which in a way protects him from ever actually dealing with heartbreak #is he a gay man dealing with comphet? ehh maybe #i could see that #but I think the vibe i get is more about how he has these platonic friends he completely adores and is fully devoted to #and then in another category he has the people that he does not have any actual attachment to that he will allow himself to pursue #and crossing the boundaries in between those two categories or allowing himself to pursue someone he really cares for #would require a level of vulnerability he is in no way prepared for #in his home life he has an emotionally detached mother who is well liked but kind of floats through interactions on a surface level #and a father who is extremely concerned with fame and glory and attention but doesnt seem to have ever stopped moving in his life #genuinely fabian does not know what a safe loving partnership would look like #and we see him constantly oscillating between emulating his mother and his father in relationships #but just beneath the surface is a little boy who wants so badly to cling to his loved ones so tight and be squeezed right back #with no way of knowing how to even ask for that if he wanted #and riz is his best friend in the world and he knows on some level that riz is simply not interested in having that kind of relationship #not on the level fabian needs #but that also makes riz a safe target for these feelings of devotion #theyre just friends! just besties! fabian never has to reckon with his own loneliness or harmful patterns #if he channels all of his yearning for closeness onto his best friend #anyway! this boy needs therapy #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #fabriz

i hope yellowjackets never gives a clearcut answer vis a vis the whole "how much of it is the supernatural and how much of it is the trauma" question, but like, at this point my best guess for tai is that she physically has a screw loose in the most literal sense possible. like something is not right up there. and i don't even mean in the mental illness sense, they're all deeply traumatized and different shades of mentally ill at this point, but like- this degree of sleepwalking, and dissociating, and losing time? it's giving neurological damage, it's giving uniquely horrible and very strange form of traumatic brain injury. like that plane crash knocked something Loose i swear to god

#poor tai i feel SO bad for her. the beginning of this episode.... babygirl :( #personally i think some of it is mental illness/trauma and some of it is the supernatural bc this show likes to do both #but tai is like... on another level at this point #and yes she saw the man with no eyes as a child #but this is starting to feel like Something in the wilderness is able to break through and take control of her at night #BECAUSE she's basically 'checking out' of her own brain intermittently - those moments where she's not in the driver's seat of her own mind #Something Else is taking that as an opportunity and hijacking her body i think. that's my theory. #and she's just visualizing that Something Else in the shape of her terrifying childhood vision #does this make any sense. #yellowjackets #yellowjackets spoilers

Fixing history using the power of editing and my editing skills!!

For today we have, New Titans (1980) Issue #100

✨ Wedding Special ✨

@robstarblog @robstaryeah pinging yall just in case so that this doesn't get lost in oblivion (It'd be painful since I worked 5 hours non stop on it lol)

I think the most time was taken by the final panel and adding in the finishing touches since I pretty much had to change everything to the pixel level, quite literally lol (I'm serious, I did)

Welp I hope the results were worth it! And with that, another one gets a good ending!!

I kinda didn't add sleeves in the first two panels of the final page because it didn't look good and looked janky with how I was editing it so yeah please ignore that-

#teen titans #robstar #dick grayson #koriand'r #starfire #dickkory #Changing history #using the power of editing and my own skills! #giving the good ending to characters who truly deserve it #it took me 5 hours to complete all the editing to the miniscule level #i paid attention to every detail to match each panel #it took a lot of effort but it was worth it!! #but damn man there have been so little dickkory content that I really had to search hard to get myself a suitable pic to edit out of #we have a lot barbara content with dick but barely much with Kori honestly #anw hope this is nice #self editing #also #Donot remove my watermark while reposting otherwise I'll consider it as stealing >:( #dont steal #that damn priest took so much time to edit like holy cow #I really went above and beyond to get all the details right and consistent throughout #I let my perfectionist nature manifest #but yea #now Dick and Kori can have an uninterrupted happy wedding <3 #im so happy #I may try another one of these fixie thingies if I find anything^^ #this was really fun to work on #i fixed canon #but fuck the actual canon #cuz most comic writers cant even do just one job right

pspspsps porretta besties from the dark place who refused to bring this song to its end here's a little something for you. 🎙️

#it'll take a while until I finish the extended mix but of course I had to start from this part #you can tell the man have been practicing - Dynamite was amazing and so fun but sounded like he didn't sing for a while #and out of sudden had to film his performance in a rush because it was pretty chaotic back then - or maybe just wasn't for his range #now it's clear that he had time to work on his singing voice and feel more comfortable with the songs #plus it sounds like he had fun recording them - at least I hope so since everyone seemed genuinely happy to be back after 13 years #and istfg I can hear him singing the final chorus as well (liiiiight / niiiight / to the suuurfaaace) but I couldn't find the files #but I didn't find Door and OGOA vocals for it either so it's all probably mixed in a single file which is the one we heard in the cutscene #love him love his voice and I'm happy to have experienced this level (the entire game actually) blind #his performance was spectacular (the drowning video is still in my mind since my first playthrough but hey that's for another post) #anyway #someone give this man a Pixar villain to VO PLEASE #and that fucking bass btw I love it #Matthew Porretta #Old Gods of Asgard #Herald of Darkness #Alan Wake 2 #Remedy Entertainment #🎮 #tinyclowntent #audio

one thing that is kinda wild to notice is the way fic seems to have gotten a shorter and shorter lifespan over the years. granted, i only have my own anecdotal experience to go by, and there's plenty of factors that can contribute to that, but it's wild because like i remember posting fic in like 2015 would get so much more engagement over time than posting fic today. in 2015 if i posted something i generally would get comments and interaction with it for a week or so before it tapered off into obscurity. today, its like. you post a fic and after 24 hours its dead in the water. odd.

#rimi talks #on the one level i don't care because i know the value of my own effort #on another level it's like... man. this really does incentivize me to stop writing stuff that's long #bc you get more people actually talking to you about your work if its short and you post constantly #of course posting constantly is like. a recipe for super fast burnout #and i LIKE writing longer stuff in the like novellaish range #but the way fics just Dont get comments after the first day or so is so wild to me bc i SWEAR it wasnt always that fast a cycle #i mean comics fandom might just be worse about it than any fandom ive been in before #but i dont know!! it FEELS like a general trend over time at least.

the other dracula thing i’ve been emotional about all day is how like, we have these two segments of Vamp Action: jonathan’s gothic heroine turn in transylvania, & lucy wasting away in england. and the connective tissue between them, the thing that bridges the two, that makes possible the team-up that eventually takes dracula down — is mina. and it’s not just a matter of logistics, that she happens to know both jonathan and lucy: it’s that she shows up at jack’s house, she reads jonathan’s diary after promising not to because she loves her husband but she trusts her own instincts, she shows her own diary to the others believing in the potential value of her observations and uses her skills to help them share their knowledge with each other. she’s the central figure around which the text revolves well before the plot becomes a race to save her from damnation. and she serves that role through her smarts and through her instincts, but also because she loved lucy, too. the entire third act of the novel - a series of events that culminates in these brave but ordinary people ultimately taking down a centuries-old monster - is made possible because of the powerful and deep emotional bond between two women. i didn’t realize when we were reading their letters in the spring that somehow bram stoker’s dracula (1897) literally is a novel about the power of friendship, but looking back, the polycule is the friendship that sees it through to the end, but lucy and mina are the friendship on which the whole thing turns. that’s so genuinely beautiful to me.

#you don’t often see that level of importance granted to care between two unrelated women even now #importance not just like the text tells us it’s important but importance like it hugely matters for the actual narrative of the text #i feel like i legit cannot think of another novel by a man that contains it lol #& the list of works by women that do is not long! #dracula daily #bram was not a feminist but sometimes he made points…..

I don't plan on talking about Hazbin Hotel much because I am not happy with it, and that is why I want to talk about what disappoints me the most: Alastor.

TW: mentions of cannibal

There were a couple of comics released a long while ago showing how Angel came to the Hotel, and a special comic with Alastor that I rather enjoyed where he goes to the meat market where a hellborn is being threatened by the butcher. Alastor of course kills and eats the butcher.

Basically the comics set him up as Hannibal Lector type moral code. If you aren't rude or unnecessarily cruel, he'll leave you alone. However if you are he would be thrilled to kill you in the most horrid way he can think of and then eat your corpse.

And then the show turns him into some edge lord with a connection to Lilith and half ass tries to make him seem like he cares about the hotel when he has alternative motives and he is just an edgelord. It sucks.

Because think of what could have been done in the show, and I think we kinda get SOME of what we could have from the cannibal village but think of what else could have been done:

For one thing, I think the Lilith connection could have been cut. He is there for his own entertainment, but he does like Charlie's spirit. I think it could be much more interesting if he genuinely isn't there to be evil. Course he still does fucked up shit and sometimes counter intuitive shit on the regular(just an example, Angel Dust could say something wrong enough he is about to cause a murder and has to be held back).

But he does actually help.

Like, instead of having to be coaxed into making a TV ad, just, have him doing radio ads?

Also him actually like the Egg Bois I think would be fun. They are stupid and kind of useless but they are sweet and he finds himself fond of them. Also could give him more of a relationship with Penticous. "You know, I have to give you credit, my boy, these little guys are extremely entertaining!"

Also if he was actually, in some way trying actively to help, I think it could lead much more into Dadstor. I want that to make sense, you know? I want it too but it doesn't and I think having him be more Gentleman who expect good manners, and can cause harm should you not.

And if they had gone more with the ideas of redemption and the actual truth of that, have a bad client thrown in that Charlie is really trying to help but they just keep snapping straws, and well Charlie can hold everyone else back well: Alastor is not all to pleased by someone wasting time.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin critical #hazbin alastor #vivzepop critical #man I am just so disappointed by this show on every level expect maybe Penticous #also Adam is decent as a villain. He is annoying as fuck in the first episode but- you know he has kinda grown on me. #most of the music is good too- I think 'Out for Love' is stupid as fuck from a character and story telling perspective for Vaggie #But that is another rant I am sure you have heard

Believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything is going to work out in the end... Now, it may not work out how you think it will, or how you hope it does, but, believe me, it will all work out.
