#the sincerity and devotion

[aethersflood]

Since the moment we first met, you have always been an important part of me. The half that makes me whole. When times are darkest, you are my light. When I am lost, you are my guiding star. You are just what I need. You are all I need. You are the greatest gift.

#clive rosfield #jill warrick #ffedit #ffxvi #final fantasy xvi #final fantasy 16 #finalfantasyedit #clive x jill #cliji #mine #warfield #i haven't loved a ship like these two in a while #the sincerity and devotion #the friends to lovers trope #the unconditional love and support #some of these moments just make me so !!! #like when clive feels immediate relief at seeing jill and she hurries into his arms #that tender forehead touch oh gosh #her praying for him and feeling fear and despair at having to let him go #these are two people who have every reason not to let someone in because of all the ways the world has harmed and wronged them before #but they never hold that against each other #i think squeenix did good in not making their love ambiguous or will-they-won't-they #their love is sure; it's literally the heart of the game #the way he looks at her like she hung the moon is just Too Much for me #i love cliji ok bye

ough toshiro is speedrunning his way to being one of my fav characters. He's so autistic and terrible at expressing himself and comes from a high context "saying no is extremely rude" culture. He is a foreigner. He withdraws when he's overwhelmed because he can't express articulately his needs. The most selfish thing he ever did was ask his family to try and rescue falin with him. He respects laios so damn much, and had a hard time telling laios to back off cause he didnt want to be rude to someone he sees as so sincere. He's dedicated and hard working to a fault. That dedication and respect is how he says "i love you." I want this man to be fed and happy.

#the more i think about him the more i just want him to find happiness #toshiro nakamoto #shuro dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #laishuro #sure why not #nakamoto toshiro #shosh #he's so autistic asian he's like. 🤌 #ugh the devotion and the sincerity to his actions #that's the way japanese people say i love you. btw

on va voir. if you even care.

#captain america #marvel #catws #catws10 #i rewatched <3 #god #can't believe it holds up in every way #if i am not bored that means. it is doing its job #it's about. good character development/exploration. it's about corruption. it's about politics. #it's about high stakes. it's about moments of rest. it's about beautifully choreographed fighting. it's about cinematography. #it's about good dialogue. it's about some funny lines with grounding moments of sincerity. #it's about. devotion. #it's about not having to watch 75 films to be able to understand what's going on #russo bros were like yeah let's make a film with some of the best pacing and fighting u've ever seen mixed with so so much homoeroticism. #and then. never did it again asjkdhfl

I still have those feelings too. Even to this day. What do you mean? I couldn't answer last time. So I'm doing it right now. Of course I do. What kind of lunatic remembers and cares about someone she's uninterested in for fifteen years? Why are you telling me this right now? Because this is the best timing! It won't sound as sincere if I say it after the results. No matter what the ruling may be, I won't give up on you. That's all you need to know. I might have to serve time. I don't care. I could lose everything. Did you forget? I said fifteen years ago that I'd take care of you. I"ll stay strong so be honest and tell the prosecutor everything you want to say.

CASTAWAY DIVA - EPISODE 11

#castaway diva #kdramaedit #kdramanetwork #kdramadaily #my edits #tuservic #she said devotion and loyalty go both ways !!!! #love that she confess to make sure he knew it was sincere #park eun bin #chae jong hyeop #also love that he's trying to hold it in while being clearly giddy inside and while she's giving him the biggest heart eyes #mine: castaway diva

the borgias truly went off in 2.10 'the confession'. specifically, where devastated rodrigo buries juan with his own hands, being intercut with everyone happy and celebrating lucrezia's betrothal, and being perfectly juxtaposed with dark and light. we get to see how rodrigo always saw juan while carrying his body (and that's probably how he sees all his children) as an innocent little kid instead of a broken soul. which was one of the most touching and well-crafted scenes that have ever aired on tv btw!! the whole sequence is also backed by a moving piece of tragic music that matches how guilty rodrigo feels about making the family hate juan by pressuring his inadequacy, making him full of misguided notions of defending the family's honor that led him to go wild. and setting him up to be envied by cesare. the murder made rodrigo reflect, and the viewers can tell that he has never told his eldest son that he sees himself when he looks at cesare, and that he has always held him in high regard but with a different dream and vision for him, despite cesare's wrong assumption that juan was rodrigo's favorite. and all because he always had a self-loath. to accept cesare as his favorite, he has to accept himself first. plus the cliffhanger? peak cinema imo.

#it's crazy how this episode and those sequences occupy my mind #cesare and juan are convinced that the other is somehow more favored and less deserving... #and each one is concerned that the others are getting something more and better.... #and then there is rodrigo; a father who's sincerely and also misguidedly devoted to both his faith and his family #but he unintentionally fucked up his sons lives #rodrigo borgia #cesare borgia #juan borgia #the borgias meta #the borgias #text post

every time I come across Content that isnt my own I get the thoughts and thinks. Too tired to do anything about it except this ig

#Coming to terms with the fact that I can share shitty dumb doodles and tag them even and it's not a crime #I'm not quite Ants In My Brain levels but the brains are scattered rn. #Anyway I love a relationship that is unlabeled and unknowable but gosh damn it is sincere and devoted #I was thinking of that 19 days bit. 'you're the strongest most badass little mo' or sth #ANYWAY! Not confident enough to tag this w my art tag so #Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #Hajime hinata #Kuzuhina #Attempting to go full ramble in the tags after the actual posting bc I just got shit to say I guess #Not valuable shit but shit nonetheless #They're good for each other they build each other up. Fuyuhiko was putting so much faith in Hajime from the get-go #Hajime is like dont give me too much credit no I dont wanna think about my talents. And Hiko is like nah man you're great (in his own way) #And Hajime encourages so much growth in Hiko which is WHY I think Hiko is so passionate in his loyalty #Hajime makes Fuyuhiko smile and laugh and reflect on his behaviour and talk about his experiences #They laugh TOGETHER in the middle of the killing game which is v sweet #Fuyuhiko is DESPERATE to prove that he's changed and that he wants to do good now and Hajime is just like 'okay you got it' #Like thassit. And then when they find out Hajime wasnt a talent student Fuyuhiko is like 'oh ok' #They accept each other very readily and they trust each other so much and idk maybe my brain is broken but #I FEEL like I feel a sincerity in their friendship #Like it's for life man they're already making plans for the future when they're friends (hiko especially) #Yeah I guess I'll save these tags. Idk I'm a little Ill of the Brain rn

Hellsing has fantastic female characters did I mention that

Underrated af

One of the major driving points of the entire show are Alucard's complex relationships with each of them

People don't expect that looking at Hellsing from the outside

But look at this man

He's crazy about them we love him for it

#THEY ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ALUCARD AND HE KNOWS IT #LIKE HE HAS SUCH RESPECT AND DEVOTION TO THEM #AND SHOWS THEM A SINCERITY AND GENTLENESS HE SHOWS NO OTHER CHARACTERS #BOTH OF THEM ARE SO FLESHED OUT AND WELL DEVELOPED #TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND NOT UNDERESTIMATED BY ANY OF THE INSANE FUCKING CAST NO MATTER THE GENDER #THE SCREEN IS THEIRS #besides cringe fanservice here for and there for seras trust me they're fucking GOATed #hellsing #sidrabbles #alucard #seras victoria #integra fairbrook wingates hellsing #her name itself be iconic #IF IT ISNT CLEAR I DONT MEAN ROMANTICALLY #WELL...HIM AND INTEGRA ALWAYS HAVE UUUHHHH VIBES #BUT ITS SO SO SO MUCH MORE

lol at lb being a heathcliff anti as if mal and alina's relationship isn't just a piss poor version of catherine & heathcliff's all consuming love

#she aimed for devoted orphans against the world #and instead got 'insecure girl makes herself ill for her chad bff whilst he's busy chasing tail' #this is antithesis of catherine who actually grew sick when she was AWAY from heathcliff #because he was her soul. the one person whom she could be her true unabashed self around #wouldn't you like that alina? wouldn't it be wonderful to not have to repress yourself to the point of illness around the person you love? #then theres mal with 'sorry i didn't see u before (too busy fucking girls hotter than u) but i see u now (that you're wanted by other men)' #tragic really. thoughts and prayers for alina's self worth. #granted heathcliff can be hard to stomach but at least he's written with sincerity. unlike mal. #anti malina #anti mal oretsev #anti leigh bardugo

Just rewatched all of atla bc of the new Netflix atla buzz (both excited and not eeeee) and I have thoughts on future kataang, having looked into whether to read the comics or not - I wish they'd left Aang to be SHORTER! Am I the only one that can't see the connection between the adult Aang drawings to child Aang? Yes, of course he has to mature but he loses all his cheeky open face and you don't have to be taller to be older, neither do you have to be taller than your girlfriend. Like he has short king energy, let him LIVE!

#kataang #but hi I do love kataang they’re so sweet and sincere #my fave atla ship if not sokka and suki #kinda wanna write/read a kataang glow up fic where at 14/16 the age difference makes katara break them up and then they reunite… #….at say 19/21 bc Aang is of course still utterly devoted and they suit so well and Aang only stayed away out of respect #anywayssssss #if you’re reading all this I am accepting kataang sukka and maybe zukka fic recs if you have any plz and thank u

You know I think my lmk ships are: skeletalspider (SQ x LBD), ivorylotus (Ne Zha x Yellowtusk), shadowpeach (you already know), and the samadhi dumpster fire (dragonfruit)

#''why do you ship ivorylotus they haven't even had one scene together'' because I'm right #And who doesn't want a pair that would both choose the world over each other. But with like devoted understanding #And Ne Zha being who Peng never was #alright #the potential they hold. #they could do so much good together look #look #I was like ''Oh Ne Zha was willing to sacrifice his life for his jade emperor and Peng wasn't'' and my gears got turning #I think yellowtusk deserves someone who he can actually bring about a better world with okay #Azure and Peng were NOT it #sincerely yellowtusk's one (1) fan #Ne Zha and Yellowtusk are just both so practical and tunnel visioned they're perfect for each other #''Oh but imp YT was person first for Azure. He wasn't willing to betray him in the special'' SHHHHHHHHH #YT WOULD BE WORLD FIRST FOR NE ZHA #OKAY #HE WOULD #In my beautiful mind #YT being like ''I can't betray this world again. Not even for you (the love of his life)'' #and Ne Zha agreeing ''I would expect nothing less from you (the love of my life)'' #Starts out as enemies. Then they become coworkers keeping the jade emperor's powers underwraps. #Then they're like close friends and romantic partners #lmk #lego monkie kid #imp tag #ivorylotus

Gonna send you THREE asks cause I love hearing your thoughts about everything.

Anyway unpopular Mario fandom meme: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?

I know a lot of fanworks treat Kamek as that kind, reasonable adoptive father to Bowser and don't get me wrong, I think he's Bowser's most loyal henchman...to the point of fanaticism, and he has zero issues with making other people suffer if it serves his king.

And even that could be discussed : I always see in a sinister light the way Bowser, as a baby, is locked in a room full of toys away from any other kid to socialize with, is horribly spoiled and groomed into a little tyrant, and Kamek doesn't hesitate to use magic on his infant king to turn him into a weapon of massive destruction.

Plus, I think people underestimate how incredibly petty and bitchy he can be, and how fun that makes him.

#unpopular opinion ask meme #super mario bros #answers #ask meme #he's such a weird little old bastard #completely devoted and sincerely doing his best for his king but also a petty bitch wihh zero ethics

skyward sword is like catnip to queer people with religious trauma

#kie rambles #skyward sword #loz skyward sword #loz sksw #tloz skyward sword #tloz sksw #hello queer people with religious trauma. how is the childhood friends to goddess and her champion going #are the dynamics strained? is the protagonist questioning his love and faith? are there feelings of betrayal? #are you sympathizing with the enemy? overanalyzing zelda's connection with divinity vs humanity? her offscreen journey on the surface? #the difference between what is right and what is divine? the conviction of the hero to save his friend despite his inner conflict? #oh to be devoted to a god who remarkably loves you back #yet despite her power does nothing to save you. to receive god's apology and feel it is sincere enough to forgive. or do you? #anyway :3c i hope you're having fun. drink your water and dont forget to refill your meds besties

HE’S THE CUTEST IN THE WORLDDDDD

#sorry but i CAN’T stop thinking abt this scene :((((( he’s such a good man !!!! #apologizing soso sincerely and empathizing so deeply with maomao #i wonder if their backgrounds r similar at all…. i’m just preparing myself for jinshi to have a fucked up backstory #bc of how pretty he is :((( #but that aside just. the BLUSH. he’s so cute!! he rlly does look so much more genuine here #hhhh…. the urge to write a jinshi fic is Strong but i don’t know enough abt the source material </3 #maybe after i’ve caught up on the manga… or the anime at least……. #i already started on an outline of Sorts BUT LIKE. it’s so similar to one of my gojo fics 😭 #me when i can only write for one particular concept (Devotion) and one particular scene (Opening Up Under A Starry Sky)……. #sighhhhh #i’ll figure it out :’3 #ari noises ✩

[TUVOKTOBER: Day 6] Based on this line of dialogue:

#I will forever be like 'what did you mean by that??' jennifer lawrence clip about Tuvok saying he 'spoke out against it' #He isn't??? A politician?? And never was??? #Is his family one which holds a certain amount of sway?? #I need to know if he 'spoke out' in an official capacity - like a way that mattered to the world at large or if he was just talking shit #I tend to assume mostly the latter - maybe talking shit to specific people but still. It reminds me of how in Gravity he says #HE chose to leave Jara and school when in reality he was kicked out and banished - adjusting the facts #anyway one of the things I sincerely love about Tuvok is that he would be like one of many petty Vulcan antagonists* in another series #especially when he was younger but it's not like he's THAT much better in canon #Ex: Though Tuvok agrees & praises the peace treaty he still seems to view B'Elanna unfavorably bc she's Klingon #<- Like what Neelix says 'That's just it!! You don't feel anything FOR me but you feel things AGAINST me' that's him a nutshell #<- Another example is how he treats Chakotay in the earlier seasons: Deliberately undermining him and questioning his authority #He can be very sanctimonious both about him personally and facets of himself without much tolerance for others or deviation #It's a legit character flaw and I do love highlighting it bc I love him even when I want to choke him to death he's fascinating <3 #It's also VERY interesting bc he WAS more of a rebel punk as a teen then he went to the monastery and now he is shown to be very #devoted to Vulcan ways and have a keen interest in monastic life. #I know Vulcan philosophy is NOTHING like christianity or catholicism but like forget that for a second. Ok. Now: 'Tuvok's born again swag? #off the charts' v_v thank you #bea art tag #Tuvoktober #st voyager #st voyager fanart #*And this never changes. Unlike Spock or T'Pol he never has moments (that I can recall) where the narrative's like 'GOTCHA!' #& he's never insecure about his identity as Vulcan. Never desires to feel or be more human. & I /do/ think this is bc he's older! We see #himas an ensign in 'Flashback' struggling with his identity as its pitted against humanity AND in 'Gravity' where he's shown to have disdai #for Vulcan culture & customs. It really makes me wish we had gotten more character-building episodes from him rather than character-breakin #ones where he's not really acting as himself in full. v_v #also one last thing: I recognize that other characters do try2 'GOTCHA!' Tuvok both seriously and lightheartedly but Tuvok is never framed #as being actually affected by this unlike Spock or T'Pol where it's a whole like Thing about their characters (humanity - feeling) #tuvoktober

might Iklies' name have been inspired by the Arabic name Ikhlas?

#Iklies' name has been translated many times by different translation groups: Eckles/Eclise/Iklies etc #the meaning sincerity/devotion/loyalty is fitting for a knight character #and at the same time it's misleading and ironic considering what happens later in the story #vadd #death is the only ending for a villainess #villains are destined to die #ditoeftv #iklies khan delman

I just caught up on the new eps of maws and WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THEY ADAPTED THE GAY FRENCH APE AND HIS GAY FRENCH DISEMBODIED BRAIN LOVER

I do think this is peak representation in fact every bizarre bit of (usually somewhat problematic) rep that doom patrol comics ever put out is peak representation let us not forget coagula the lesbian trans programmer/prostitute who got her powers by having sex with the weirdest most questionable intersex space entity in the midst of a mental crisis ever what an icon.

but in all seriousness I actually really enjoy how obvious it is that the ppl making maws actually care about comics and stuff, and how much they embrace the fun and wholesome and campy parts of dc. like who else would have the courage to adapt the brain and monsieur mallah like this? NOBODY is who

anyways this is all to say get fucked boring grimdark power fantasy dccu

#I rlly hope maws-esque takes on superheroes become more of a norm #some newer dccu stuff has been a LITTLE more willing to be silly or sincere I will admit #but most of it still kinda sucks and is more devoted to saying how powerful and edgy the hero is rather than actually having them be heroes #the mcu effect but also the dark knight effect I think #you can just sense the derision for the source material and I'm not limiting this to tv or movies it happens in comics too #don't get me started on why frank miller is the worst thing to ever happen to batman and also superhero comics as a whole #my adventures with superman #monsieur mallah #the brain #aaaand post
