#theyre still both kids

[queerest-fanboy]

It's so interesting engaging with the ATLA fandom as someone who doesn't rly like zutara or kataang. Bc zutara shippers who are against kataang will be like "Katara and Aang have a mother/son relationship!!" but then kataang shippers who hate zutara sometimes pull "Well Katara is a foil of Zuko's sister! Their dynamic is sibling-like!!" etc. etc.

Each side tries to moralize it for themselves and it's just like....y'all are shipping silly fictional characters with each other. And they both have the exact same age gap. As much as I have a severe distaste for one of them, I promise you it is not a moral failing to ship one or the other 😭😭😭 Interpret relationships as you like when they aren't explicit! It's fine, I promise you're allowed to do it! One side is not inherently better than the other!!

#tho i will say that i have personal beef with zutara shippers #i see wayyy more smut of that and i need yall to remember that katara is 14 and zuko is 16 in atla #theyre still both kids #zutara #kataang #avatar the last airbender #atla #aang #katara #zuko #atla shipping

Thinkin bout how similar they are

#doodle #but i been just drawin vinland saga stuff so #heres a thing vaguely dbz related :U #ok but #both had relatively happy childhoods until on a first major outing w their father #they come under attack and their father is killed #then theyre takin to some strange new land and p much left to fend for themself #but still being reliant on the guy who killed their father and p much learning how to fight by fighting them #theyre thrust into a life of continuous violence #and deal with (or rather font deal with) a lot of anger and rage at their own powerlessness #(or sense or powerlessness cause like actually they both got that anime protag level default badassery- but you get it) #but anyway both try to build a peaceful life for themselves where they dont have to fight any more #and yknow find a kind of domestic peace with a wife and kid and a community of friends #...anyway read vinland saga guys :U

okay, I love Regulus being angry as fuck at his brother for leaving him, and having to learn that it wasn’t Sirius’ fault and that he was just a kid who needed out, and didn’t really have a choice but consider,

Regulus didn’t blame Sirius for running away and leaving him, he blamed himself and decided he wasn’t good enough to be loved by Sirius. he feared rejection so he stopped talking to Sirius because he thought it would hurt more if Sirius stopped talking to him. Sirius thought Regulus hated him for leaving, but really Regulus hated himself for supposedly not being good enough to stay for.

Sirius never really stopped trying to talk to his little brother but Regulus stopped listening because he was too scared to be hurt again.

#sirius is not the bad guy he was a kid #but that doesnt mean regulus wasn’t still a victim or thst sirius isn’t a victim to #theyre both victims of their parents #but maybe im just projecting #dead gay wizards #marauders #nikos random thoughts #regulus black #sirius black #fuck jkr #black brothers #black brothers angst #RAB #regulus arcturus black #sirius orion black #in reality

Ride 748: The sixth and seventh place

Pag 1

1: Keep it up, Rokudai!!

It's past 9pm!!

2: Three hours left....!!

Until we complete the 1000km... there are still

3: 60km!!

Yeah!!

Pag 2

1: 20km in an hour... if we can run 4 laps per hour, we can do it!!

We can reach 1000km!!

Pag 3

1: Yeah!!

4: We can do it!!

Yeah!!

5: Gooo!! Do your best!!

55km left!! Go!!

Will their bottles be enough....

6: Those two can do it

Will they really complete the 1000km? Kinaka and Rokudai

Even though they're first years!!

Pag 4

1: There was also a moment where he seemed to be having a tough time, but Kinaka encouraged him

They looked so fired up now, right!?

They got back up!!

The look in their eyes was terrific!!

2: Sugimoto ran with determination

3: But... this fight is...

He... Sugimoto knows all that well

He's fighting understanding that

4: Kuaaaa

5: Garuaaa

Pag 5

1: It was probably the same for Danchiku

2: Danchiku watched Sohoku running for two years

And Sugimoto for three years....!!

4: So they chose that race!!

Pag 6

1: They chose to fight!!

3: Are you an idiot... Sugimoto

4: If you ... wanted to run with me at our third and last Inter High, you could have stuck behind me, easily, and take the goal that way

5: and become... a member... the “sixth man”

Pag 7

1: You chose a harsh way

2: You were thinking about the team....

4: You were thinking about what you needed to do....

5: That's just like you....

6: You know, Imaizumi, I think, I think it's necessary

7: For our third Inter High members this year, we definitely....!!

Pag 8

2: It's 10pm!!

40km left!!

Pag 9

2: Yeah!!

4: We can do it, Rokudai!!

Yeah!

Let's go, Rokudai!!

Yeah!

5: I confirmed it earlier when we passed through the goal – it's good news, so be glad!!

Yeah!

6: Good news!? Teh!?

7: We have already surpassed the third year Sugimoto-san!!

Pag 10

1: Huh!?

Is he resting? Or is he preserving his strength? We don't know, but anyway it looks like right now Sugimoto-san isn't on the course!!

2: For now, we....

3: Are sixth and seventh place

The “sixth place”....

4: Will become one of the Inter High members!!

Pag 11

1: Mem....

Really!?

2: Wait, teh, I'm getting dizzy

That... wouldn't that be amazing, teh!?

3: It's an hypothesis but, even if Sugimoto-san wants to chase us from here on, there's a “surpassing ban board”, so if we keep running then he can't catch up to us!!

And we'll secure the “sixth place”!!

4: You're so smart, Kinaka-kun!!

5: Right?!

6: Waaaa

A member... it's almost within reach, teh.... that's incredible, teh...!!

Pag 12

1: I'm so glad, teh, Kinaka-kun!!

Yeah!!

No, it's too soon to cry!!

2: I'm so glad we kept on running

There are still 40km left!! Don't lose your pace!!

3: Tears are for after the finish line!!

4: Ahh, it's here, teh... a blan comment, it's been a while

Oi!! I cheer you up and yet you hit me!!

5: But now it touches my heart!!

It's thanks to your encouragement, Kinaka-kun, that I arrived here, teh!!

6: Uhm!!

Pag 13

1: Let's aim for the Inter High!!

Yeah!!

3: Go

4: Go, Rokudai

Pag 14

1: It's only 40km left.... you can do it on your own, Rokudai

2: It hurts-!!

3: I reached my limit for the pain

All the “let's go”, “let's do it” and the encouragement were to deceive you

4: I had to

I've been having leg cramps for a while

5: The “Inter High”

6: Even though it's right before my eyes

It's so frustrating

Pag 15

2: Wha- Rokudai

You moved back before I noticed...

3: If you're tired and need to slow down, tell me it, teh

I'll push you and help you!!

4: Don't underestimate the “helping ability” of a former manager, teh!!

Pag 16

1: Rokudai!!

5: Rokudaiii!!

6: You mean to say “let's still go”!?

7: Is it connecting possibilities? Rokudai's hand!!

Pag 17

1: Don't cry, Kinaka Tsugunao, crying is for after the finish line!!

2: Ah!!

3: Alright, the climb is over, I'll pull you on the downhill!!

4: Yeah, teh!!

Pag 18

1: Waa-teh!? Suddenly I can't keep my balance!!

2: Rokudai!?

3: A flat tire!!

4: Huh, a flat tire!?

Your tires are screaming for the 1000km

Ahh

Dammit!! Mechanical troubles in a time like this!!

5: The tools to repair a flat tire are only at the goal!!

But with a flat tire, on the downhill....!!

We have no choice but to push it slowly downhill!!

Pag 19

1: Hurry!!

2: Ugh-

3: If we go so slow, Sugimoto-san might come!!

4: Sugimoto-san is chasing us, teh!!

Pag 20

1: Sugimoto won't come

2: I've come to bring you a message from Sugimoto

“____ is the comedian out of the duo” Can we TALK about how funny both Kazuki and Rei are. Like they always manage to get me. Kazuki with his overdramatic mom tendencies and desperately tries to get his shit together. Rei with his blunt side comments paired with a monotonous delivery. And most of all these two have no idea what they are doing. These two are absolute disasters together holy shit

#buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #rei suwa #im not even kidding these two make me laugh like all the fucking time #dare tell me that kazuki wasnt that funny dude is TRYING his best to get his life together #and still manages to suck at that aspect #meanwhile rei isnt even trying he just wants to live #my god theyre both losers #episodes 5 and 9 have kazuki at the peak of his comedian career #no beef ofc but what im saying is!!! kazuki deserves more credit smh

I wish there were more black people who were into iwtv so I can talk about how Louis's class and race interests intersected

#iwtv #amc iwtv #iwtv 2022 #its so crazy cus hes from a rich lightskin family in new orleans #like he says hed be a free man of color (not black) if not for jim crow #the intraracial dynamics of new orleans pre-1970 is so genuinely interesting to me and we never get to really get into them bc louis spends #all his time with white/nonblack people and when he is with his black daughter its different bc theyre so isolated from the great black com #like louis was absolutely in jack n jill as a kid. hed be in a blue vein society. hed be an alpha based off his name alone like #hes the black bourgeois class and its so crazy that people say hes middle class in fanworks like no babe. they had darkskin servants #i think it also stems from people relating blackness to poorness. ldpdl is not poor in any sense of the word #he inherented a literal plantation!!!! but because hes black people downplay his class interests (except for other black people) #yknow who really was poor? lestat! like eating syrup sandwiches with the lights and water cut off by the city poor #and yet people act like he grew up hyper rich in fanworks and its like... thats not what happened #you can talk about how jim crow and white supremacy squashed/manipulated the black elite class in nola while acknowledging louis' class #like they both came into the relationship with money (louis' money might have been shorter than lestats #but they still had money) #ldpdl #like i would even wager that louis family dont even consider themselves black like that #cus blackness is defined by whiteness and since louis spends all his time with white people bc of his business hes treated as and sees him- #self as black in a way that his family isnt. theyre only black when theyre made black if that makes sense #theyre black when white people are around

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

#''they both have white chest fur'' okay ? there are so many other characters who have small physical traits in common #doesnt mean they have to be related #''shadow and silver are lancelot and galahad in sonic and the black knight'' okay and . #im sure there might be SOME meaning to the character choices in the storybook games but i highly doubt their lives are 1 to 1 parallels #or that the character choices are meant to imply anything about the characters that we dont already know #plus amy was nimue and nobody tries to argue that shadow and amy are related because of that? #also im aware that a lot of dad shadow stuff takes place in the future when silver is a baby and shadow has still been alive for a long tim #(which. how would that even work wasnt shadow in stasis again in the future) #but sometimes i see people do it with like present day shadow being a father figure to the silver who time traveled there ? #thats like the horrible combination of people infantilizing silver in a way they dont do with other characters his age or younger #and people pretending shadow is an adult when he isnt . what #also i dont get why people insist that if shadow is silver's dad then the other parent MUST be someone from the existing cast #like . silver is not from a few decades into the future hes from 200 years into the future #none of the characters youre saying shadow is gonna get with are gonna be living that long im sorry to say #and why does silver HAVE to be the child of a couple in the existing cast why cant he just be some random guy #and im not saying every au idea has to perfectly align with canon #but a lot of the people who think shadow is silvers dad arent presenting it as a fun little baseless headcanon #theyre presenting it as an actual plausible theory . when it really isnt . #also ive noticed one of the most common pairings for silvers parents is sonic and shadow . #sorry but that is just not happening i feel so strongly about sonic never wanting to get married or have kids #i think shadow being an older brother figure to silver could be cute . #and the idea of a timeline where shadow doesnt die or get put into stasis or whatever the hell and is still around in silvers time #could be interesting . but im not really on board with the dad thing

[good-beanswrites]

hii hiii is it alright if I request something with kotoko and haruka?(platonic ofc) their character foils drive me insane with all the weak stuff authngghn icant be normal about them

Oooh thank you so much for the request! I realized that these two actually have one of the smallest windows to talk easily, given Haruka's nervousness and Kotoko's T2 changes. They have such interesting approaches to strength/weakness, and I hope I could capture it a bit here! This takes place immediately following Kotoko's bday timeline after Harrow's release:

“I’ll accept those birthday wishes…” Kotoko gave him a wave over her shoulder as she returned to making her bed.  

She shook her head in awe. It was rather impressive how quickly the boy had changed after his verdict. The others had more subtle differences, but he was someone entirely new. She could rest easy, at least, knowing that her verdict wouldn’t change her much. For as long as she could remember, she’d been like this. She knew where she stood, and neither guilty nor innocent verdict would affect that. This verdict was really only an indicator on whether the warden could be trusted or not. 

Her body tensed up when she turned back around, startled by Haruka lingering silently in the doorway. She decided against chastising him for scaring her half to death. Still, she couldn’t keep the bite from her voice as she asked, “did you need something else?”

“Ah… I just…” He twisted his hands together. “I had a question.” 

He fell silent, but Kotoko could tell he was chewing on his next words. She waited.

“H-how do you do it? All the time? You’re older and stronger and braver and I-I just don’t know how.”

“Give yourself some credit. I’m not that much older, or stronger. I only have, what -- two, three years on you? And you did very well in the arm wrestling tournament the other day.” 

She wasn’t being patronizing. For someone so sheltered, Haruka could do some damage. He stood a few inches taller than her. The others had taken the arm wrestling as a little game, but Kotoko had used the event to measure up her fellow prisoners. After his close match with Mikoto, she had made a mental note to take him seriously. 

“No…” his expression twitched, getting frustrated with the misunderstanding. “Not muscles. I mean… you don’t have someone like Muu. You don’t need someone next to you all the time. But you still talk with everyone… and it looks easy. All the time. You always know what to say, and what to do. You never look scared. You never cry.”

Kotoko’s smile softened. She wasn’t the prideful type, but his words gave her a wave of accomplishment. She certainly was scared. She did cry. But she wasn’t about to show a single crack in her resolve in front of anyone here. Haruka had given her the greatest of compliments by confirming her success.

“Ah, you mean strength of spirit. Well, that doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. It comes with my purpose, with my virtues.”

“Virtues…?”

“I see the injustice around me, and want to protect the innocent. When I see how awful the world can be, when I see the monsters that are hurting those who are weak, I can’t help myself.” She clenched her fist. “The power to do so just comes to me.” 

“Oh…” Haruka looked down at his palms. 

Her heart sank, realizing he didn’t quite understand. It was a shame that not all of humanity could be as righteous as her. That heroic drive had always come so naturally to her; she wasn’t sure she could put it into words to explain to others.

Haruka’s open hands were trembling. “Um. Is there any other way?”

“Hm?”

“All my life… I only cause pain to everyone.” His worry gradually turned to desperation.” I hurt everyone who gets close to me. Especially things that are small and weak. My whole life, I’ve been nothing but a… a curse. So… is there another way? Please. I want to be better. I want to be strong! I want to be like you! Tell me!”

He stepped forward, pleading. Kotoko stepped back. 

His blue eyes widened at her sudden shift into defense. “Ah! I. I’m sorry. I’m-I’m sorry. It’s your birthday. You should be… Have a g-good day.”

“Wait.” Kotoko stopped him before he could flee. She was aware of the massive gap between them, the vastly different backgrounds they came from. Still, she offered the same advice that had helped her in her toughest of days. 

“Don’t worry so much about others’ strength. The quickest way to burn yourself out is getting overwhelmed with the power that’s all around you. Once you start putting all your focus toward honing your own skills and strengths, you’ll realize how much you’re truly capable of. You don’t need anyone else. You’ll realize that you are enough.”

“I… am enough…?”

She placed a hand firmly on his shoulder. 

“So, no need to get all worked up now, okay?” 

“O-okay. I’ll do my best.” He stiffened, trying to appear worthy of her words.

She let out a bitter laugh. “I told the others not to do anything for my birthday, but I don’t think they paid me any mind.” Kotoko still couldn’t fathom how they were so friendly with each other given the situation. “Let’s go see if there’s some cake or something.”

#milgram #kotoko yuzuhira #haruka sakurai #thank you so much! this one was super interesting to write 👀 #the thing is even though they dont have any direct problem between them they would still have a hard time communicating #but once they DO communicate there would so much they could learn from/help each other with!!! #this is leaning into my theory that kotokos murder (like harukas) was a rightful emotion that spiraled out of control #it really puts it into perspective how young kotoko is when you remember shes not too much older than haruka #and theyre both susceptible to strong emotions that stem from feeling weak int he face of the big scary world #but kotokos sees her as some blessing of power to serve her heroic thoughts and haruka sees his as a curse #ty to my pals who helped me find the exact spot in the timeline i was looking for 🙏 #although kotoko doesnt believe she can change that easily she 100% undergoes the exact type of dramatic change as the others #once again referencing the arm wrestling info from yamanaka #between that and the fact that strangulation actually takes a fair amount of power #i just think its very good to remember that haruka is so physically strong #also something something kids looking up and wanting to be like kotoko and her complex emotions on that.... #these two are sooooo interesting AH #drabbles

exhibit b sofia, we're all about to die can you roast ruby later

#sibling behavior #i was making a post about how S is quietly the funniest person in all of Fernweh #and then I realized all my best screenshots were of S and R's back and forth #if S wasn't so polite and courteous no one would be safe #it's tough being the smartest and funniest in town but someone's got to do it 😔 #i love both R's obvious sarcasm and S's dry wit - theyre so funny together #and also #i love how they feel like they still interacted after MC leaves fernweh and before the story starts #sometimes you get stories like these where it feels like the main characters stop existing to each other in the between times #like im not under the impression that they had weekly lunch outings or anything but it also doesn't feel like-- #--they conveniently started talking again two days before MC and B show up #the way that you talk to friends you've had since you were a kid/teen is so....like you know me in a way no one else does #and that creates a certain familiarity even if you dont interact as often as adults #it also gives you special privileges to mercilessly tease them #fernweh saga #fernweh saga spoilers #if snippets #i started a folder of these moments bc they crack me up so much

[mokutone]

I am so entranced by ur style it's crayzay . . . I adore how you draw Sakura and Kakashi they're so silly goofy

thank youuu!!!!!! :^D i love drawing them, especially interacting together, i think there's SUCH a wealth of possibility that kishimoto failed to exploit in his storytelling that could lead to detailing parallels between the two of them—and woudln't it be a bit fitting if she ends up being, in many ways, the one most like kakashi? the one left behind?

#yamswers #rosetylerisms #ILL GO INSANE IF I START TALKING TOO MUCH ABOUT IT AGAIN BUT. LISTEN #THEYRE SO ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS ! #all of the kids are like kakashi a little bit and i know sasuke was intended to present the most direct parallels but sasuke is #well. whatever. im not going to get into it BUT the point is #at the very least. while sasuke was off with orochimaru and naruto was off with jiraiya #sakura and kakashi stayed in the village while sakura learned under tsunade #i would NOT be surprised if they met up for lunch every so often so kakashi could get updates on at least ONE of his student's educations #and when you spend time with people you inevitably reflect them in minute undetectable ways #my point is that one day they go out to lunch all of them all together as adults (sai naruto sasuke sakura yamato kakashi) #and sakura and kakashi pick up their meals in exactly the same way at the same time and its just that. just such a small tiny thing #meaningless #but everyone else is like “Huh ?” #AND THERES NO ANSWER TO THAT HUH! BECAUSE ITS A MEANINGLESS GESTURE ! its just a way of holding a bowl! a coincidence of timing ! #but all the same everyone is like what the fuck sakura is like kakashi in this small way. and naruto points it out to her because he knows #it will piss her off #and it does. she's still the one who criticizes kakashi the most brutally. and sai is just baffled about what any of this matters for #but he doesn't want sakura to get bullied alone he's Trying To Be Nice so he starts immitating both sakura and kakashi. #WHICH MAKES SAKURA MORE MAD #and sasuke is like woa things are different than when i left. and he's just observing. #and yamato doesn't have anything to add this is massively entertaining for him. dinner and a show? watching kakashi get dunked on? say less #god. “i'll go insane if i start talking too much about it again” me @ me: darling i think you're insane to begin with. #MY POINT IS. SHE IS HER LADY'S STUDENT. AND HER SENSEI'S STUDENT. and it should SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thjnk that in the end what bothers me about a lot of ragbros reconciliation fan content is that it seems to treat their making up as a single event. as if they just need to have one heartfelt conversation and apologize and hug each other and then they will be officially reconciliated. as if they wouldn't need to rebuild their relationship slowly! (as if they haven't already started to, albeit tentatively). as if they wouldn't need to first let go of old grievances, both the big ones and the little ones. let go of the guilt they place on both themselves and on each other. it cannot possibly happen in one night! it's learning to talk to each other again until it isn't awkward anymore. until the smallest annoyances stop bringing back all the bitterness to the surface. it's learning to open up to each other again! this time with no awful secrets between them! it's discussing those secrets! discussing their shared grief and making an effort to understand the sorrows they do not share. i cannot stress enough how much i want you to understand it needs to be a very painful very saddening but also very hopeful and maybe cathartic process

#this is perhaps overly long and convoluted but you know how i am. i have kaeya diluc disease #brothers tag #kaeyaposting #diluc #ragbros #kaeya #my posts #like!!! do you even get it!!! #also content where they are in the middle of that process is so dear to me #when it's still strained and feels like treading on thin ice #but theyre working on it and theyre getting somewhere #and maybe there's this underlying feeling in both of them where it's like they are saying ''please. can we go back to how we used to be?'' #and the answer is no. they cant #it wont ever be like when they were kids #but it can be better!! better than how things are now than how things were after that night #better even than how it was when they were young. it would be truer now i think #less of a weight hanging over kaeyas shoulder #bites my fist im so normal
