lose my mind every time the doctor takes rose's last name in fics. brilliant, amazing, splendid, absolutely perfect.

like, what do you MEAN she'd be the one to change her last name? he doesn't even HAVE a bloody name like us! plus, she's rose tyler. you think he's going to want that to be different? it's the doctor and rose tyler in the tardis (or I suppose whatever they do in pete's world, but that's still the doctor and rose tyler having their new adventure)!!

she's rose tyler and he is whatever-he-wants tyler. end of discussion. the whole pond diabolical should've been clue enough imo

#sorry but I cannot stand it #and I keep being forced to anyways #she is ROSE TYLER #like how amy is amy pond. and not amy williams. because she's amy pond. #well rose is rose is rose and I HATE rose smith/noble sorry I've said my truth #like... rose SMITH? what? that doesn't. that's not. no. that doesn't sound right. that doesn't... fit. #I just cannot imagine in any universe or au where the doctor would want her to change her name. I literally cannot. #he wouldn't want to change a damn thing about her and her name is just so. it's her. it's beautiful. I've ran out of good words. fantastic! #he should take her last name just sayin #very passionately saying ahahahaha #this feels aggressive and like I'm getting onto people for writing these. I'm not. I just also have a very strong opinion about this lol #I just don't think you understand what it does to me when I see the doctor take her last name. I simply don't think you do #john tyler. james tyler. whatever tyler. hngk #timepetals #tenrose #tentoorose #tenth doctor #tentoo #rose tyler #doctor who

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #a-qing #xiao xingchen #A-qing's story kicks off so strong. You really get a sense that she feels strongly attached to xxc during the pre-empathy scenes #and that she has a strong sense of loyalty and perseverance with strong survival instinct #but then you see her before all the tragedy and you *immediately* learn she is a clever trickster! #She follows xxc not out of gratitude but out of a sense that this guy is her meal ticket. #xxc is kind and strong but most importantly *noble* #she can smell the self-sacrificing bright eyed hope on this stranger. She knows the mere fact she's a young blind girl means #he will protect her. The fact he gives her a little money doesn't hurt her justification but tbh she would have followed all the same #a-qing is *the* catgirl of all time actually. Follows you for the fact you provide food and shelter. Opportunistic. May grow to be loyal. #That's not even getting into the parallels here between these two characters and wwx (who is seeing these events play out) #the yi city trio are arguably the three split aspects of wwx: who he feels like (a-qing the opportunist) who he wants to be (xxc the noble) #and who he feels seen as (xy the vengeful). #one day I'll write a more robust analysis on that. prob in the tags though #(His a-qing parallels are also tied with the fact they both were street rat orphans who learned how to code-switch to be whoever #they need to be to feel safe. I have a lot more thoughts to share but augh another time...another time)

Vinland saga gets a lot of criticism for being unrealistic and too naive in its pacifism but I feel like that's a fundamental misunderstanding of thorfinn's character. His ideology isn't supposed to be universal, he develops it because of his circumstances, he's killed too many people and inflicted too much misery to be able to stomach any more of it, to the point that defending himself disgusts him. It's not a method to live your life or to change the world, it's his specific emotional reaction to his experiences. He's not even preachy about it either, when he meets Canute he admits that he knows he can't change the world that way, and that he can't judge whether Canute's way is right or wrong. His vinland plan is an attempt to create a society from scratch based on his radical pacifism in hopes that it'll meaningfully stick and become a value for the next generations, and thus create a society where it's the norm, but as we can see in the story and just history, it's going to fail. I don't know how exactly it's going to end, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be by telling the reader that "You should be a pacifist all the time and violence is never justified". The story's always been nuanced, Thorfinn himself is just incapable of stomaching it.

#vinland saga #and i mean i dont think hes a bad character or anything his ideology is reasonable given his circumstances #just like canute's impossibility to not try to change the world through violent methods is understandable with his disillusion for #christianity and pacifism in general #or even thorkell! he's a lot less justifiable given he doesnt have noble goals but his ideology is coherent #war is inevitable and the goal of life is to enter valhalla + hes naturally super strong so he fits perfectly in that culture #yukimuta obviously tends towards pacifism but the story is more interested in showing different perspectives and how characters developped #them than claiming theres an absolutely right one

Re-listening to LoZ : Twilight's Princess OST and damn it really makes me want to replay the game ;;;;;; ToTK Zelda may have sneaked her way into 'my top 3 fav Zeldas' but TP Zelda is still definitely in there too... (the third one is Tetra fdmksjhgkj)

In a very 'zelda' way #ToTK Zelda : this girl is fucking UNHINGED I love her with all my heart #loz #beary games #legend of zelda #the legend of zelda #twilight princess #tears of the kingdom #wind waker #beary talk #but also like MIDNA ????

Quietly coming back to add to the silver haired-lilac eyed-Lucerys agenda.

Aemond and Lucerys are married off to each other to mend the family’s relationships. Both enter the marriage absolutely despising their situation, Aemond more so than Lucerys. (Because let’s be real, this was the same boy who maimed him) But right after the birth of their first child, the two manage to fall in love with each other. Aemond becomes extremely putty to those dark curls and soulful brown eyes. Now the most hilarious part of this is after every birth of their child, a portion of Lucerys’ hair turns silver and his eyes become lighter. By the birth of their sixth child, Lucerys’ hair is more silver than brown and his eyes are nearly the same shade as his mother’s. If you ask anyone, he looks like a carbon copy of the Queen Rhaenyra.

Everyone would have thought Aemond would be pleased, seeing as Lucerys was finally starting to look like an “actual” Targaryen but to their surprise his reaction is the exact opposite.

Cue Aemond running around in panic and threatening the maesters to treat his poor husband because his precious dark brown curls are losing their colour and so help him, he will burn Westeros to the ground if he can no longer gaze upon those big brown eyes of his.

#lucemond #im cackling I’m sorry #i just think it would be hilarious if the things that aemond used to hate on are now the same things he’s so desperate to keep #aemond sends for maesters and healers from essos and maybe even yi ti to solve this dilemma #aemond adores luke’s strong features and you can’t change my mind #when the eighth child of aemond and lucerys was born rumours said aemond cried #aemond would insist it was bc of the birth of his child #but everyone knows it was bc at this point Lucerys’ hair was completely silver and his eyes were now a pale lilac #there were even rumours of aemond holding a funeral for his own husband’s dark curls and brown eyes #when lords and ladies would compliment lucerys’ new features aemond could be heard from around the corner sobbing over the hair and eyes #don’t get me wrong aemond still loves and adores Lucerys #aemond annoys Lucerys by acting like he’s some widowed husband everytime a noble brings up Luke’s dark brown hair and eyes pre-motherhood #when the tenth and final child of aemond and lucerys is born aemond is positively delighted #like ringing the bells himself and showing his child off to anyone in the room delighted #because this one was born looking like the carbon copy of young lucerys #with dark curls and big brown eyes #lucerys velaryon #aemond targaryen #aemond targaryen x lucerys velaryon #hotd

they thing is, carter's 'scully left mulder bc he got so depressed and mentally ill so she had to leave for His Own Good/For The Implementation Of Gratuitous Mulder Manpain' post canon character decision is that Scully simply wouldn't.

She would not leave him.

Not in a 'she loves him too much to leave him, isn't it romantic' way, though.

She Wouldn't leave him in a 'they're too enmeshed by then to even seriously contemplate it, he's been literally dead before and also on the run apart from her and she never considered them Over, and then they spent a good few years on the run together in the 00s in not even slightly cheery circumstances, and if, after 20 years of unconsciously warping themselves around each other's neuroses and serious trauma, she can lift her head up far enough from their personal morass of dependency and compensation to see that he's depressed it'd be a feat. She might, with this clarity of vision, at times consider leaving to 'shock' him out of it, but she Can't because he's her whole support system and his belief in her and his persistence is the bedrock of her continued functionality in the face of stupendous loss and confusion by like year 3 of knowing each other, and not having him or his vision of her to lean on was bad enough when there was literally no other choice. So. No, even in the midst of that through process, she probably wouldn't really go all the way through with it.

But it's equally likely that, just like in rocky eras of their earlier FBI days, she'd only be able to accurately see how much he was struggling very intermittently, and mainly just start subconsciously altering her behavior and frame of mind to accommodate him or meet him, while maybe having the instinct to try to aim them at some kind of goal or occupation (ie some kind of warning signal going in the back of her mind that says understimulated Mulder is unhappy, though probably not that bluntly coherent).

#character theory: scully #not that i even accept anything after existence #it's just funny that he thinks that either of them are capable of being like 'objectively we are unhealthy' #or 'objectively me being here is unhealthy for him/her' about each other from any point past like scully's cancer #let alone breaking mulder out and going on the run together! #they made codependency into an art form there is no way either of them has modern therapy speak level perspective on the other by that poin #txf meta #may i repeat: 20 years! #and frankly a majority of the first 12 to 15 of those years was spent in adjoining or singular motel rooms in small towns #or being unable to go more than 6 hours without calling each other #objectivity left the building sometime in the mid 90s #a noble 'i'm leaving until you get therapy and meds' doesn't even fit in the conspiracy chip in the neck alien vaccines setting #but more than that it's a stretch to believe dana scully's thought patterns would even allow that by that point #anyway that prevalent line of thought in the fandom circa ~2017 about how she was Right and Strong and Enlightened to leave him #because he was 'too sad and probably impotent haha and she has too much self respect and is too Smart to put up with that guy anymore' #drove me completely bonkers and this is like half of why. a lot of assumptions about how much Smart is even involved. And how much Objectiv #traumatized codependent people are so much more likely to keep making do while only half realizing it for one thing #but also it was like a collision of genre and reality types that just didn't fit #if the aliens weren't real they could and /should/ go to therapy. but the aliens /were/ real so they're in scifi noir and out in the weeds

behold! the noble of the skys. (no, hes not really that big. sabi is just small even for a slugpup) this is biased off of a king vulture.

(fair warning, the art gets worse)

the not-a-cat-slash-weasel-slash-full-grown-woman-anymore noble sneasler. biased of the lizards, specifically the pink ones. verrry good at climbing.

electrode! why a centipede? because apparently the adult ones conduct electricity! (its was either that or the Daddy Long Legs and this one made more sense) also they sometimes have a bit of a Time and spin around in circles. its very funny.

Something I find absolutely hilarious is just how different the Woodland Realm is to Lothlorien and Rivendell. It’s a difference borne of many things, of course, given that Rivendell and Lothlorien are both run by Elves with Rings of Power and Eryn Lasgalen isn’t and that Rivendell and Lothlorien are run by people related to each other (not just because of the whole shared Noldor thing) whereas Eryn Lasgalen is ruled by a royal family of Sindar and populated by Silvans. Then there’s that whole thing with the Necromancer shacking up in Dol Guldur and fucking up the forest.

But regardless I find it endlessly amusing to imagine how different the White Council would have been if Thranduil had been invited to join. Because you have Gandalf the stoned, Saruman the cantankerous bitch, Elrond the wise and reserved, and Galadriel the ridiculously ethereal who comes with her own choir back-up singers. And then enter Thranduil, Middle-Earth’s premier Dramatic Bitch with his uber fancy crown and long trailing robes lined with brilliant burnt umber satin with his massive fucking elk and enough sarcastic disdain to fill the Long-Lake.

I dunno I just find it funny that the Lord of the Rings showed us the graceful, ethereal, honestly-kinda-spooky elves and then we get the Party Master, Wine Connoisseur, Fashionista Bitch who is perfectly happy with going to war so he can get his wife’s gems back from a bunch of (honestly he’s not really wrong though at that point the main problem is Thorin) thieving dwarves in The Hobbit.

And suddenly all of Legolas’ over-the-top dramatics make sense.

#LOTR #the hobbit #thranduil #elrond #galadriel #eryn lasgalen #lothlorien #imladris #rivendell #the apple didn't fall far from the tree #it practically got reabsorbed #I like to headcanon that of course all elves like to party #but Rivendell and Lothlorien parties are like noble balls #whereas Thranduil's parties are like actual faerie revels #lots of food and wine and debauchery #not so much the making mortals dance until their feet bleed #more the fun sort of fae revel #with lots of ridiculously strong booze #has anybody done a modern AU where Eryn Lasgalen is basically Middle-Earth's Vegas? #Not quite as cheap and plastic as Vegas #but full of partying #go to Erebor for the gambling #Dale for the sexy times #and the Greenwood for the all night every night parties

The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black P2

So in the last post I made about the House of Black I talked mostly about every piece of information I know about the family as a whole. In this post I want to cover a little bit of the most famous witches and wizards to come out of the house of Black.

To start off with I feel it is important to re-mention that the house of Black has members in practically every family within the wizarding world and there are simply to many members to be able to talk about them all. So i'm going to talk about some of the less known members. I'm choosing to ignore the youngest generation I apologize.

The first member of the house of Black that I want to talk about is Artemisia Blackwood nee Black. Born in the 15th century to her mother a nameless member of the house of Black and her muggle father also nameless. Artemisia's birth was a complete accident made out of wedlock. Which combined with the fact that her father was a muggle you can imagine she wasn't very well liked within her family and was disowned upon birth. Despite her blood-status Artemisia was a firm believer in the pure-blood ways and despised anything and anyone having anything to do with muggles. Having this view point it is no surprise that she ended up marrying Eunon Blackwood, a muggleborn *sighs in logic*. They ended up having a daughter named Lysandra who was you guessed it, a squib. Lysandra would later disown her mother while Artemisia is being burned at the stake by witch hunters. So while god may not have favorites he does have least favorites.

Next up we have Phineas Nigellus Black born in 1847. Not much is known about his early life besides the fact that he was a Slytherin, and that he married his wife Ursula Flint sometime after graduating. Phineas is well known for being the worst Hogwarts headmaster ever. Some of my favorite things that he did is cancel quidditch for a single year not because of the goblin war that was currently going on but because his favorite pure-blooded Syltherin quidditch player got hurt playing it. In fact he believed the Goblin war to be just a rumor that was going around and remained ignorant for the entirety of the war. It got so bad that when the goblin leader invaded the school he didn't even show up leaving the staff and students to fend off the attack by themselves. Oh, but don't worry at least he removed the bell from the bell tower as it was causing him great distress when it rang because it reminded him of his wedding day, the poor guy.

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china” #my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

MITCHELL AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

#MITCHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #///AND/// AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Yosano and Kenji spotlight too. Episode written precisely for my personal liking #Too bad no Atsushi then it would have been perfect (╥﹏╥) At least we got his voice in the episdoe preview #Alright I **LOVE** Mitchell. This is not the space to talk about it properly but I just really like how flawed she is‚ #but also in a way that results funny and endearing. And I love love love how much she cares about her family and is loyal to it!!! #It makes her so noble and virtuous. I know she has so little screentime but really the way she's so harsh and in apparence self-absorbed– #But in reality so kind and altruistic... The way her hearsh ways are implied to be only a consequence of a life of struggles and her will– #to save her family's name through a noble behavior and appearance too... It makes her so complex and multilayered imo #AND just how her innate tendency to defend people spans out of her family too!!!! #In my interpretation she did NOT care for Hawthorne or like him. But she still gave her life for him because she just instinctively– #protects the people around her. I don't have any strong feelings for haw/mitch but like how to blame Hawthorne I would have– #fallen for her right that istant too. #Now to Akutagawa. I'm really endeared by this episode because I'm pretty sure that's when I started sympathizing with / liking him :') #Like that's the moment when the things Dark Era showed us and the canon Akutagawa behavior click together and the watcher goes “Oh. OH.” #At least I'm pretty sure it was for me. It's bittersweet but especially sweet. #One more thing is... Wow bsd really has been like *that* since the beginning hasn't it. It's kinda silly to think back to all the criticism #the latest arc got now. #The criticism regarding how the ridiculously high stakes have been solved seemingly effortlessly in a way that resulted very anticlimatic?? #That's ALWAYS been there. “Oh no the ada is done for if they found out our base!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences* #“Oh no the Guild is done for if they destruct Zelda!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences* #“Oh no the Guild knows were our clerk is!!” *holds near to ZERO consequences* #And #“Oh no Akutagawa died!” “Oh no half world population was tuned in vampires!” “Oh no Fukuchi obtained One Order!” #“Oh no Chuuya is a vampire siding against Dazai!” #It's really the same‚ isn't it? #But like‚ we're still glad all of it happened right? Because it makes the experience enjoyable lol. #It's really about enjoying the ride I suppose. #I have more to ramble about but I've ran out of tags so I'll be doing it on my main blog reblog later #random rambles
