#AND MOST LIKELY FOUGHT BEFORE THAT?

EH, this just DOESN'T HAVE A CONTEXT, and I tried to come up with something where it can be written, BUT 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED, AND I HAVEN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING :D

Who will deal the most damage?

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #yu ziyuan #poll #Please note this is not a 'who would win in a battle if they fought each other'. #This is a 'who would be the scariest person to see on the other side of fighting ring.' #Yu Ziyuan knows how to do the bend and snap (a spine). #Lan Wangji has 20+ years of biting and scratching stored in his bones. #I missed the opportunity to give YZY sandals in pd-MDZS so I could properly say 'Yu Ziyuan con la chancla'. #However she's most likely wielding a heeled designer shoes. Steel tipped in the front and back. #As always there will be a follow up to the results of this poll. Who knows what that will be! #(I did make a 'bloodied up' version - but I didn't like it as much. Take this version as them *just before* they start the bloodshed.) #I'll post the alt on my twitter later on. For the fun!

okay i have to say i am actually a strong defender of Snake That Makes You Evil. it sounds stupid on paper but thats only if u take it at face value? i do actually think the concept is crazy good what with the venom slowly corrupting how garmadon thinks about things and him being fully aware but unable to stop it.

its also not Just the venom that makes him evil. in the spinjitzu brothers books you can actively watch the fsm and wu and… really EVERYONE around garmadon become more and more wary of him despite not much really changing. it becomes a permanent blight on him that he is repeatedly told he needs to cure. but he hasnt really even changed in his own eyes

i personally prefer it to have been a pure fateful accident but the involvement of the overlord in the bite makes it arguably even more tragic. it becomes more than a childish mistake. garmadon was doomed from the moment he was born.

#ninjago #PLEASEEEEE read the soinjitzu brothers books if you can. its such crazy insight into wu and garmadons characters #every day i think abt shezada being like ‘oh youre the eveil one? makes sense’ with literally no explanation #also no offense. but i think ppl forget that his Evil Transformation happened over literlaly like. hundreds of years #its not like he got bit and was immediately evil #ik they show it kinda like that in the first flashback of the bite.m #but he was able to hold off the full effects of the venom until literally like mmmaybe a decade before the pilots #thats hundreds or even thousands of years. all that time of the venom corrupting him and he still fought for love !!!!!!! #ohhh my god also just remembered in the most recent spinjitzu bros book when they paint him as clearly having depression. Whatverrrrr #unrelated. but mann those books r so good #OH MY GOD JUST FOUND OUT THE SERIES GOT CANCELLED. KILLING MYSELF

everything about bellumbeck makes me go insane. i don’t even know how to express half of it. the way everyone is in mortal danger during that fight. linebeck is forced to try and kill link right after saving his life. the one time he’s actually taking part in a boss battle with link he’s the boss he’s fighting. the way bellum seems to take his time grabbing him. the fact that bellumbeck never really pays any attention to ciela and bellum just grabs and restrains her instead of putting her out of commission or straight up killing her. one of his attacks is a spin attack much like link’s and we can assume that linebeck has probably seen link do a spin attack at some point. the way bellumbeck’s helmet is designed to look vaguely similar to linebeck. if bellumbeck kills you when you have a purple potion it plays the same sting as when a phantom catches and attacks you. this is the second time this link has had a sword fight with another human as his final battle but this time he is effectively fighting alone. of the main cast linebeck is the most detached from the rest of the group and is the only one to be an enemy. bellumbeck’s helmet opens after some attacks and right before he’s defeated. linebeck’s character theme utilizes harpsichord and excludes piano and bellum’s boss theme utilizes piano and excludes harpsichord. bellumbeck’s theme includes both and for the first half and near the end of the song they play the exact same melody at the same time. linebeck is suggested to be unable to fight or properly protect himself in battle for the entire game and then in the final boss in a twisted, awful way he finally gets a chance to be a competent fighter capable of defending himself.     does any of this make sense

#there is no central thesis to any of this im just frothing at the mouth about bellumbeck #loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #linebeck #bellum #bellumbeck #salty talks #btw. re-fought bellumbeck for this. which is more of a chore for me than it sounds. #on my 100% ph file i never take the save before bellumbeck so that i can do all of the three bellum fights over and over so uh. #had to speed through the temple of the ocean king lol #but it also allowed me to sit down and listen to bellum's boss theme a few times through #hi when i figured out that for most of bellumbeck's theme the piano and the harpsichord were basically playing the same thing it was. bro #i felt like id come across something really cool. idk #i love bellumbeck's theme so much despite being a musician im not good with aural skills or picking up on little musical things #screaming crying throwing up etc etc #i almost said a thing abt the instruments playing linebeck's theme in the final boss theme are not heard in bellum or linebecks themes #but the brass that plays it once i believe is similar enough to the brass in linebeck's theme that it kills that statement #bc of the lack of extra info abt bellum or linebeck i like to lean into drawing comparisons or parallels between them #most of the stuff i didnt say relies heavily on my specific interpretations of characters and plot and headcanons so i left it out #i cant say anything about the key of bellumbeck's theme since i cant find reliable sheet music and my aural skills are dogshit #correct me if im wrong (probably am) based on the piano sheet music you can find on ninsheetmusic linebeck's theme is in g minor #its in g minor in one i found on another site too #or something. i hate minor keys #bellum's battle theme and bellumbecks theme arent there but. linebeck's theme is in some kind of g minor key #PROBABLY take this with a fucking grain of salt despite being a fucking musician i had to find my major scale cheat sheet to check this #after some extra research (for like five minutes) cant find sheet music for the final boss but from the little i could find #i thiiiiiink bellum's battle theme is c major #this means nothing i just had fun applying what little music theory knowledge i have

for just a moment, only two were left in that head

#yeah nonono connie aint fine bro #like for a moment it was just her and white that were fully conscious in CYM #sure she was probs super focused on steven at that moment #but like c'MON #thats TERRIFYING #puh-LEASE #i wish future touched on this #like the only people who witnessed this was steven himself white and CONNIE #my girl is studying to cope i tell u #oh yeah lets not forget #there was a blank period between steebs gem getting plucked and him on the ground with connie #i doubt white would care enough about a human child to put him down gently #he probably PLUMETED afterwards when white was done with him #oh and lets not forget connie was bound by pearl before that #the most likely fact is that connie had to watch unable to do anything #witnessing her best friend being torn and then discarded without care #next time we see connie after the blank period she is right by steven side #so either white let pearl release connie #OR she FOUGHT her way outta there #haha ramble go brrrr #its just my two cents on it #i think about it #sometimes #mmmm #steven universe #connie maheswaran #my art #angst #you want my take? #connie fights tooth n nail outta pearl's grasp to catch steven from the fall

guys i just had a dream that i was doing p-1 and i finally beat whatever was there instead of flesh prison and i got to minos prime and i was going to do speedrun strats but i was like "omg i forgot sawblade" so i restarted level to equip it but i already had it on so i was like:

#also the thing before minos prime was not fought in gluttony for some reason #i fought it in like... some area with a fountain and it was dark #i think it was some sort of animated statue #it had the things that mannequins shoot #also most of its attacks weren't parryable when they absolutely should've been #octobass post #octobass ultrakill tag

I'm bringing all of you to the capoeira practice

#also wondering how many of you are only siblings because I'm pretty sure the first place I learnt to throw a punch was at home #I also got in a lot of physical fights because I took no shit with homophobic bullying and cat calling #but but. both football and capoeira in my neighbourhood were important to me growing up because it gave me the knowledge that I could in #fact beat up a man because physical strength isn't the only thing at play #and I do think the fact most boys grow up having very physical games while girls don't plays a huge factor in women being conditioning to #not react #genuinely think the most important thing when you're in a real fight. is how many real fights you've been on before #a lot of men are very weak for pain. you can beat them in endurance. like I understand there's disadvantage but I hate the DOOMY way some #women talk about men being larger/stronger as someone who's successfully fought off many situations #but this is also why I hate most self defense. like regularly practicing martial arts does help. but a 10 hours course will not kick in a #desperate situation where you need muscle memory. my best advice is if you don't know how to throw a punch just DON'T you can do more with #your elbows or slapping. just. a lot of fights it's being willing to let the desperation kick in and go for the throat yk #honestly I KNOW how to throw a punch and even I tend to go for elbows because I'm 160cm and not that strong lol #anyways my worst opinion as someone who works with teens is that I think sometimes we should let kids solve some problems with their hands #will always pretend I don't see gay students or women who get harassed throwing punches #some of you truly should've caused more chaos in your school years #also it's really sad that women were banned from capoeira for a long time some 'tradicionalists' still complain #it's all about being nimble and smarter in order to beat an opponent you ASSUME it's stronger than you. it just feels great #gave me a lot of confidence when I really needed ot

kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.

and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.

she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

#being selflessly loved and treated like a human being what gives characters who have never once been shown that before without having to #give something back in return the strength to fight back and reach their final form is something that can be so personal #like. why am i crying in the club right now #terry called her JANE not a number but a NAME a real HUMAN name and told her she loved her! #and max treated her like a PERSON like a GIRL not a weapon or a superhero and she never asked eleven to do anything for her #she just loved her and treated her like a normal girl like a normal friend #and it was THAT which gave eleven the most strength #eleven who has always had to give in order to get eleven who gets punished whenever she steps outside of the box people put her in #eleven who didn't know that people could LIKE things until season three eleven who had never felt like a girl until season 3 #eleven who finds her strength to release herself from henry's vines when she looks at max and remembers tht she has to fight #for her the same way that max fought for her then bc she loves her she loves her friend so much #eleven who looks at a man who has never been treated like a person and in her last moments thinks of her mother and the fact that #she was loved and she was given a name that she is still a person despite everything that there is still kindness in this world and #THAT is what gives her the strength to save herself and literally unmake him and tear a fucking hole in time and space like. #are you kidding me bro how do u expect me to realize all of that and NOT cry like 😭 #the power of love... and being treated like a human being... to be seen and understood... there is always a light to be found in the dark #i'm . someone sedate me please for the love of god SEDATE ME PUT ME DOWN SHOOT A HORSE TRANQUILIZER AT MY ASS PELA SE

played through tunic so fast i didn't even process anything besides filling my noteapp with "left right down up", but yo the production line for the obelisks? that was fucked

#tunic game #that was probably my favourite part of the game #that and i had a split second of witnessing one of those energy spiders dash away in the corner of my screen way before i ever fought one #and that was crazy #i was like: yo TF was that #tunic was good as soon as i got the laurels i was pretty much continuously dashing as much as my stamina would allow #really hyper light driftering it #my biggest complaint after seeing both endings #(i didn't 100% the game in terms of chests or upgrades but i did collect every manual page) #anyway my biggest complaint: needing to navigate by jumping through the environment with the teleport dash. specifically the physics #so many times i would be dashing over and over again into the ledge and it wouldn't be working. so i'd assume it'd be impossible to go ther #only to later find yeah that's where i have to go it just didn't wanna register me across #in general the physics kind of bothered me i'd get stuck in a knockback loop or once i was trying to roll some red skulls around and oh #my god #more than any enemy or boss. most frustrating thing in the game was rolling those red skulls #but the concept of the manual and the puzzles involved were so nostalgic and very very good #i miss when games came with a big juicy manual man

I finished the update and can I just. Discord screenshot copy paste

#lilia was a mother who just gave birth in that update okay. #and the way my jaw dropped when I heard Malleus screaming because the senate tore him out of Lilia's grip. #Malleus fought tooth and nail to be in Lilia's arms. Lilia fought for TWO HUNDRED YEARS and fought SO hard just to hear Malleus calling him #and fought so hard to hold him and read him stories and do all the ugly parenting. He was fighting for it #and his shell cracked open and they were together and his SPRITE CHANGE HIS SOBBING SMILING SPRITE #and the senate saw that and thought it was the most repulsive thing to happen in history #that's so personal to me. It's nothing I'll ever go into on this tumblr very deeply but that hit like nothing has before. #to think kids are awful and gross and to realize the reality that they can die and every ugly moment is something so important to fight for #leave me alone leave me alone #Also I cannot stress this enough the fucking BATTLE MAP JESUS CHRIST I WAS DYING IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! #so sorry I forgot to tag spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland spoilers

— Denethor was a proud man, tall, valiant, and more kingly than any man that had appeared in Gondor for many lives of men; and he was wise also, and far-sighted, and learned in lore.

— He was Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from Isildur, and yet more like Elendil than any before him.

— [Denethor] was as like to Thorongil as to one of nearest kin, and yet was ever placed second to the stranger in the hearts of men and the esteem of his father. At the time, many thought that Thorongil had departed before his rival became his master, though indeed Thorongil had never himself vied with Denethor, nor held himself higher than the servant of his father.

any music-related hot takes?

Mate, I started off as a radio tower illegally broadcasting music that was censored by the BBC. I only have music-related hot takes!

Our take of the day is that anyone who thinks punk must stick to a specific aesthetic is not punk, and it's almost always trying to censor even if they might say it's "preserving" it. (Spoiler: their ideas of "aesthetics" are mostly just, you know... it's saying something awful without saying it because you know how bad it sounds? What's that word again? Is it dogwhistling, or is that something else?)

Mind you, it's not as common now as it was in the 2000s, in part because people were gatekeeping against pop punk (which is a different subgenre, chrise, leave them be) and then reached even further to target actual punk groups, but there was a good chunk of time where geezers who were into the early punk scene would mock any new group for being posers, and most of the time, the people they were pitching a fit about were women, minorities, or young people (ah, yeah, hating on the youth: the most punk thing of all, apparently!) As if British punk would be what it is today without people like Poly Styrene, who basically invented the subgenre of Riot Grrl over a decade before it was recognized and fits into all the groups that are now apparently posers. She'd go on stage with a cute bow in her hair and pastel jumper and skirt and braces like she just left school picture day, then scream her head off about identity and oppression so hard that venues had to pause shows to fix the sound systems!

And - And as if punk at the time wasn't constantly toying with how people dress or sound or look, and pushing revolution, all the stuff that people get weird about nowadays. "Oi, these young wannabes don't look like The Clash!" The Clash are great, and also they would have kicked your skull in for being an elitist bigoted prick. Multiple groups can be great! Just admit you became old and boring and Tory-fied just like the parents you used to rebel against, and can't handle a genre that's - that's based on anarchy unless you can look at it through nostalgia.

#ic #I love how most of the micronations are like “I threw molotov cocktails at the Royal Navy and fought government censorship!” #“My leader got arrested for replacing street signs to say we lived at 'Antifascist Circle' and I'm based in anti-elitist art” #“Land ownership deciding one's nationality is STUPID and the internet will bring about a global reassessment of community and values!” #“If the government won't let me pave a fucking DRIVEWAY on my land then they don't get my money!” #“I was recognized CENTURIES before Italy even unified so why is my government less valid than them?!” #and then there's Molossia and Slowjamastan like “I like trains B)” “Slow jams are fun :)” #THANK YOU FOR THIS ALSO PLEASE LISTEN TO POLY STYRENE AND HER BAND X RAY SPECS. Music history that's SO often brushed over #Also recommend the song I didn't link: “I am a poseur”

Tumblr is basically my vent now

#ive been feeling like shit for months now maybe a year #i dont know what i should do about shit #last time we fought he said he was lonely when we met and hes not lonely now and thats why hes not as affectionate as before #and that i need to get used to that #but im still lonely i still want our old relationship back #going to sleep alone is almost impossible for me im missing work because of it #he doesnt tell me stuff he does #he gives me the smallest kiss when i get back from work and then he just wants to be on his phone #if i mess with him he laughs and makes me stop #if i try to talk to him he doesnt listen half the time #everyone tells me he loves me but i dont see it #he says he does and i think he cares for me but i dont know how much he loves me and it sucks #i feel like an afterthought or a prop most of the time #and i try to think maybe hes tired but im always tired after my 12 hour shifts #and he wants me to do all this stuff with his family all the time and I try #he doesnt say goodnight or sweet dreams or ask about my day #hell only tell me when i ask and he gives me the shortest version #idk i could go on but this sucks

this chizuru's love interest arc is a little more frustrating than the last bits of knt

#personal #it think primarily bc sawako is not the protag for this arc. she is the star and is the most likeable part of the show #so the previous frustrations were tolerable bc we see our socially awkward optimistic protag persevere in her own kind way #but then this bit w chizuru... im having a hard time caring #and i cant quite say bc its all cishet or whatever lol #sawako's interest in kazehaya was bc of his personality. chizuru likes a supporting character's older bro because... conflict? #her best friends feel bad and wanna comfort her but when he fought in his fiancee all i thought was thank god fhsdfjsdfds #good its not Kids on the Slope and i have to endure a adult/high schooler relationship but the show does want me to feel for chizuru. #which i dont. #the show is kinda simple too. like sawako doesnt feel real. she feels like she came into existence in the knt universe the second before th #ep started. theres only a handful of characters. most of the show is dedicated to very small drama dragged out. idc abt the one rn

obito carried so much on his shoulders for his entire life and all you people do is reduce him to an incel…….

#he’s not right or just in everything he did but he genuinely had good intentions and carried the weight of thinking he could end unnecessary #shinobi deaths via war before finding out it was all a LIE anyways #(and he fought to right his wrongs once seeing the lie!) #obito would have faced so much discrimination as a kid simply due to the fact he is an uchiha in an anti uchiha world AND genuinely saw the #horrors of what a cruel and messed up world the shinobi lived in to have to be used as pawns of war and kill other shinobi #on top of that he was manipulated and groomed to believe that he could genuinely fix it and end all fighting and death of shinobi……… #and yet all he’s reduced to is an incel. i’m so tired #rin was the breaking point but was not the reason he tried to do the infinite tsukuyomi…. he just didn’t want anymore ppl to die #i feel like obito is one of the most misunderstood characters #was just talking about this with a mutual but it’s so true #like he’s not entirely good and he’s not entirely bad but… he is sillay! #lol #anyways maybe i’ll make a full post about him later but i cba rn #there’s so much more to talk on tbh #idk i’ve been really coming around to obito lately… he’s just so silly and he sucks so bad he’s amazing…… can’t help it lol #jitter bugs u #naruto
