I don't care what the hatman says I firmly believe Ahsoka is not describing Anakin as anything other than the most cringefail jedi ever.

When she finds out Anakin is Darth Vader? The same Vader she's been fighting against for a decade? The same Vader who's crimes she's had a front row seat for in the rebellion? Who killed all the friends and family she grew up with and is now also killing the new friends and family she's managed to scrape together in the ashes of everything she ever knew? Who puppets around the 501st, her and Rex's brothers, the men who trusted him with their lives, as nothing more than mindless murderers? Ohoho she wants him dead sooo bad. She takes 3 business days to process then comes back with full murderous rage unlocked. She's outside his evil lair banging pots and pans together telling him to square the fuck up, Master. Her Cain instinct is fully activated. Move outta the way old man, Ahsoka's going to do what she must and she's actually going to follow through with her words.

Obi-Wan's got the cornerstone on depression, Ahsoka's got rage covered, together they almost form one healthy grief response. (I'm imagining them both living at the same rebel base post O66 and the twins going between them for wildly contrasting takes on their dad lmao)

#she's hopping on the holonet and setting up bots to call darth vader a bitch ass little loser on every social media platform #this is her most important work as Fulcrum #also Rex too he fucking hates Vader for what he did to the 501st Ahsoka might eventually make peace with it all but he will fucking not #and thats so valid of him king #Vader being just a little proud of how good Ahsoka is when she duels him which just makes her even more mad because he has no right anymore #slightly scared cause this feels like a hot take in this fandom #ahsoka tano #darth vader #star wars

I don't care what anyone else says, this is the only legitimate way to propose to the love of your life:

#manner of death #tanbun #I take back anything I've ever said about BL proposals in the past this is the only one thats valid #can't believe tan got away with pretending hed got caught up in shady business again #getting them chased through the forest and held a gun point #and getting punched in the face while bun sobbed while opening the ring box #he had to have so much faith that bun had the most f'ed up sense of humour ever #I'm crying #thai bl

Just curious what the average level of personal investment in these sorts of things is. Like, how much do people usually get into silly stuff like this their friends ask of them? etc. etc. Which I know, only surveying a small sample on a very specific website means I'm not getting an exact average idea lol, but.. curious nonetheless .. Maybe reblog for bigger sample size but also this is not very serious at all/not worth a call to action gbhjbhjb

#which I know this could be context dependent like.. maybe you'd normally dress up but on a week that #you feel sick you wouldn't or etc. etc. - but I mean.. GENERALLY. in the most general average scenario #where you have the average amount of health and free time that you always do. etc. just based on your personality #and level of investment in these things - what on AVERAGE are you most inclined to do #also of course assume they communicate with you ahead of time and are not like planning a part last minute #like 'throw together costume in 5 hours and show up tonight randomly' or etc. I would hope that if we're going with the #AVERAGE of things - most people's friends have better communication skills than springing entire parties #on people last minute lol #assume you have like.. a few days-a week or so to prepare. however ealrly people usually start talking about #birthdays. In my experience it's usually one or two weeks ahead of time. Like 'oh next weekend' or 'oh two weeks from now' etc. #ANYWAY.. feeling a little Sick again of course but still trying to get some photos or something posted #AGAIN i promise I am not going to exlcusively post polls and ntohing else forever hgkjgnekj #I just really really love the ability to post polls and have always my whole life been obsessed with surveying people #I used to think I wanted to do that as a career somehow like.. be one of the people that does psychological interviews #or produce interview asessments for a company or etc. etc. I am always the one friend in the group thats giving out custom made #surveys or asking for other simialr stuff (did you ever take an mbti quiz? how about enneagra #m?? oh yeah I know they're not really scientifically valid or antyhing but like... DID you take them?? huh?? did you??please?? ghjj) #I simply cannot resist.. posting a little poll every once in a while.. as a treat #whilst I still fall behind on like actual content and costumes and stuff gbjhbjh #New poll adventure should be not as much of a wait as the last one was though since I already have the writing #for it really. I just have to do the ms paint sketch. hopefully no unexpected other health issues will get in the way #*** *** *** #< (anytime I do these three star patterns it is an ocd compulsion not me bleeping out words or something just ignore it lol) #(it means something secret in my evil brain just pretend you do not see it. significant only to me) #BUT YEAH.. ... poll... what type of costume party atendee are you? #:0c

purely fanon jason vent below so feel free to ignore

every other fic in the jason todd tag whether its romantic or platonic or whatever just has to include something about the no kill rule or him giving up killing like is it not enough ! have we not hashed out this argument enough already ! can I not read some jason content without having to be randomly bombarded by the morality police and how “oh jasons not killed anyone for x amount of months thats great! we knew u could do it jay”

and I wish I was just joking like I really do but I have scoured the tag almost from top to bottom and it always, without a doubt, has to come up at some point. its his fucking defining character trait apparently. mind u he’s not even the only dc character that kills but yall just won’t let it go! I do not need jason giving up his stance on killing to be written out for me to be able enjoy content about him

and whether its included so that his relationships with other characters can be viewed as ‘realistic’ is just so. what does it matter. its already fan-fiction who the hell cares about justifying the universe that you’re choosing to write him in

#jason todd #dc #red hood #dcu #pls do not interact if u have issues with jasons stance on vigilantism or whatever bc this is rlly not my point #idc whether u hate him for it or not to each their own #I just wish it wasn’t treated as some sort of stain on his character that needs to be addressed in every fic he appears in or else he — #cant be liked or something #like thats a topic that has to be addressed for my love of jason todd and his character and the love other charas have for him to be valid #its giving ‘jason u cannot be loved the way that u are’ #and this reiterates the point I made in a previous post about how ppl genuinely dont know how to perceive this conflict and its resolution #the other way around #and how bc of that its always jason who has to be portrayed as making amends or taking a knee #there are so many interesting facets to jason todd so why does it always have to circle back to this one thing #why is it that hes one of the only charas ive seen where a certain plot point can never be looked past when enjoying him in fandom

I am BEGGING this fandom to realize that ST is just not as deep as some of y'all make it out to be. Like the Duffers just aren't that good at writing or directing.

Also! Half this show is nostalgia bait! Which is actually a really important part of this conversation because I've seen people use scenes that were literally just movie throw back scenes to talk shit about characters when the scenes were literally just there to be Easter eggs. The Duffers barely even put any emotional direction into their scripts, it almost always ends up on the shoulders of the actors (which frankly explains some inconsistency with the party's characterization when you aren't giving enough direction to the literally child actors, some of which didn't start acting professionally until st). A lot of the metaphors they put into the show are also not that subtle. Which to be fair to the Duffers on this point, they don't NEED to be! The problem is that a lot of this fandom just glances over the obvious canonical metaphors and wholesale makes up new meanings to things. Like it's at a level that is extremely concerning!

Analysing works on a deep level is great, and there's plenty of media out there that does have 50 million meanings that you have to read or watch over and over again to catch every single line, joke reference, etc. but stranger things just ain't one of them.

#like this fandom also has a lot of issues with trying to validate their ships by proving they will be canon #which is another issue thats baffling #like yeah i get angry at stupid shit in fandom i have anger issues but like #how serious some of yall take some of this stuff and yall are my age too?? #im very concerned #fandom wank #walkie chatter

Beast Wars Cheetor

#once again this is with the understanding that he is an adult #his actual age and how they mature to begin with is pretty hard to nail down in the show #i debated with myself for a long time whether or not to put him up here or not #but my rationale is that 1. hes canonically older than Tigatron blackarachnia airazor or anyone else who came from a protoform in the show #and 2. he has a job that trusts him with deadly weaponry which presumes hed be mature enough to use it correctly #so while rattrap does joke about hom being a kid a lot i think thats more rattrap being an asshole bc he's young and acts immature #my guess is hes around 18-19 and hasnt started taking things seriously yet #if your interpretation is different that is 100% valid. its muddy water and either reading is plausible #all i ask is everyone be respectful 👌 #maccadam #poll #transformers #smash or pass #bw #beast wars #cheetor

feeling bad about my art lately. will probably not post for a while. but i wanted to at least dump some stuff here before i retreat into my hidey hole

THATS NOT WHAT ART IS ABOUT!!!!! i cant keep letting myself get addicted to the numbers going up man i gotta get out of here #and i was reading a quad interview from around when idmthy got released. cus hes also brain poisoned like this. but he managed to get out #and now just kinda comes online to release music and then leave #i need to be like that. i need to take a break from art posting thats so long that i come back as a changed man odysseus style #idk. its been so long since i drew stuff that no one gets to see but me. all the art i keep to myself is just out of embarrassment #i need to relearn how to draw stuff just for the love of creation and not “maybe people online will like this one” #or “this new thing came out i need to prove my love of it by drawing it” #sometimes it leads to good art but more often than not it just makes me feel worse #whatever. if any of yall are in the hivemind jane or quadeca discord i MIGHT still post stuff there. but otherwise ill keep to myself and m #friends for a while i think #woooooo this is queued to post while im in orgo lab everyone wish me luck with my thin layer chromatography

What makes the dynamic between Joker and Maruki so tragic? I mean, other than Maruki being one of the few adults Joker trusted only to betray him?

I mean, that's kind of it, isn't it?

Joker and the phantom thieves whole m/o might be "getting back at shitty adults" but their kindness and heroism never once stopped at kids. From random momentos missions to your confidants, its all about proving their justice and seeking to save others from opressive authority.

But so rarely has an adult come so honestly and kindly to Joker than Maruki had. At the point in the story he's introduced in- Joker doesn't have anyone but his friends. Even Sojiro is still cold twards him and your other adult confidants are skeptical or distant still. His parents having to give him up and the cruelty of police burns bright in his mind still.

And here comes the doctor. He comes in with patience, and kindness, and generosity- and offers him a choice to sit at his table and share or not share. He is genuinely interested in what Joker has to say and values his input. Joker, who's words and claims and actions have been consistently met with threats, retaliation, or venom.

Maruki is one of the few adults that trusts and believes in joker from the start, and even up to and the end he always respected and cared about Joker- up to the end he always gave him the choice. There was nothing stopping him from snapping his fingers and making it all go away. Nothing stopping him from applying his sleeping beauty fate, except mutual respect and desire to have Joker see things his way.

He wants him to make a choice and he's wanting to make that choice in his direction. But he never took it away from him- and he met him and his ideals in battle. Thats the crazy thing about him is that.. everything came from empathy and love and a deep desire to protect people from pain he's felt before.

And Joker considers it, he falters, he agrees- because he wants the same thing Maruki does.. happiness, safety. You think it doesn't break his heart to see Haru and Futaba's parents back in the picture? To see his best friends happy- a Shiho without having to suffer from her experience or his best friend able to chase his dreams without pain?

But it goes against everything Joker believes in- what the phantoms believe in. They killed a god for that exact reason. But maruki is a man- a man with flaws. A man Joker is willing to almost get himself killed for as they hang off a crumbling palace, and a man he's willing to accept a ride from after all the shit he's done.. and let him guide him to the next destination in his life.

Man maruki fukin.. ugh fans face and ugly sobs

#Digit's P5R Tag #takuto maruki #forgive my callousness but... #difference between maruki and akechi is that you can't ship maruki & joker w/o it being a problem and thats kinda the big thing ig #if maruki was a teened aged prettyboy I assure you joker/aketchi would not be as popular #also people like to depict him as some creepy fuckin' weirdo and valid but guys... did we play the same game or am i fuckin' stupid #maruki's antagonism falls apart once you start taking it as evil

[ganondoodle]

reminder that my totk rants are me just rambling about my thoughts, ideas and complaints, im not trying to analyze anything, be smart, be right, debate or convince anyone who likes it that its bad just bc i think its bad or simply dont like the choices made, im literally just spilling out my brain so it doesnt keep haunting me

if you think something makes sense that i think doesnt i, and forgive me for being so blunt about it, do not care why you think it works, my opinion of this game will not change and i am okay with that

you are free to disagree with anything i say of course but i really dont care why, sorry

(sth i said only in the tags before but added now in this edit bc i think its important: its not bc i dont want to hear other peoples opinions and live in ignorance or something, but bc im tired and i PROMISE you i have seen 99.9% of those arguments already)

im not trying to be mean, aggressive or dismissive, but again, these rants are just me rambling with no intention of arguing with anyone, the only reason im still posting whenever i think of something thats bothering me (even if it might be dumb or be disproven in game bc i am not all-knowing and might be possibly misremembering something), and letting those posts be rebloggable/interactable is bc i have been told by quite a few people that they like reading them or that they feel validated in their own disappointment

thats it.

#ganondoodles talks #i usually seek/like interacting with people on my posts but not really in the case for the rants #like if you also have stuff to complain about or agree yeah go right ahead #but if you are trying to take down every one of my thoughts with arguments as to why im wrong or being unfair #i dont care #and thats not bc i want to live in my own little world and never hear of other peoples opinions #but bc i PROMISE you i have seen those arguments already #alot even #too much even #and i dont care that you love the story #im sorry but i dont #i think its shit #so i will say why i think it sucks #and im not looking to be proven otherwise #bc people are biased and will always like different things #and thats okay #its okay to read soemthing you dont like and then move on and forget it ever happened #if i see a post i dont like i MIGHT go and ramble on my own without saying which one it was bc i just have thoughts that need to get out #but im not looking to argue nor bother OP with it #if i dont like something for dumb reasons i think thats just as valid as liking soemthing for equally dumb reasons

Disclaimer: Please don’t read this post if you like male sports, and want to continue liking them.

I’m not talking about all sports, but specifically, the ones where you have a ball, and in order to score a point, you have to get that ball inside of a goal, or thru a hoop, so football, basketball, and the like. For some reason, football seems to be the most popular sport with males, and I’ve made an uncomfortable observation of why it might be so. 

The game has two goals, right, and the only way to score a point is to get the ball into the goal of the opposite team, while the opposite team does everything in their power to defend it, including taking the ball from them. In order to play it well, it’s advantageous for the players to be quick, agile, good at maneuvering. Does this remind you of something?

You might know by now, where I’m going with this. I believe football is a simulation of impregnation. The ball is a symbol for the quickest sp*rm, and the goal is the symbol for the uterus. The object of the game is to get the ball inside the symbolical uterus, which would, in real life, result in impregnation.

The difference between this and the real thing, is that only m*n are playing, the symbolic uterus is only an object, passive, just waiting to be broken into. M*n alone are allowed agency in this situation. It’s a play between m*n, and the goal is only a means to achieve a point. I feel that maybe this is the way m*n believe it should be, it’s close to their perception of the world.

The other team of players are doing everything to defend their own goal - meaning the game is much more sinister, it’s about a forced impregnation. When a team scores the goal, the other team is defeated, taking a blow, that is symbolic. And as soon as it is done, the next objective, is immediately to do it again.

It reminds me of the male instinct to impregnate as many women as possible, as many times as possible. It also reminds me of m*n being willing to team up and work together in order to be able to violate and rape women, as they often do. The fact that the player closest to the goal or the ‘uterus’ has the most privileges and is allowed to touch the ball, reminds me of how the man who is closest to the woman will defend her from other m*n invading her the most, but also have the most access to her.

It explains why football specifically gives them such high, why their entire identity roots up in it, it caters to their base instincts. It brings them together, causing uproars of violence, rage and crime. Sometimes people will say that sports are used as a form of war - but it isn’t necessarily a war on the other team. Unfavorable outcomes in popular sports bring consequences of domestic violence, the women in the families end up paying the price more than anyone else. It’s a war on us, that doesn’t involve us. We’re passive, only a symbol, and then a collateral damage.

I want to make clear that when women do football, that’s different. That’s fine and I don’t mind it. They’re not being weird about it. They’re not beating their partner at home about it, or inspiring anyone else to do so. Women doing any sports is fine. But if m*n want to do football, they should do it... somewhere they have no access to women.
