#Fuck I feel so bad for hunter

[cookie-bear]

Hunter’s face here absolutely rips me to shreds.

Because even after everything, even though Belos was his abuser, even though he maniplulated and hurt him his whole life, even though he tried to kill him and his friends hunders of times over and even though Hunter hates him more then anything, that was still the man who raised him.

Even though it’s terrible Belos was still the closest thing he had to a dad. He was the only person in Hunter’s life up until a few months ago, and during that time Hunter genuinely cared for him. He wanted to make his uncle proud of him, he was happy to play out his orders not just because he was absolutely terrified of him, but because he cared for him too and he considered him family. And even though Hunter knows that Belos was awful to him and that he was only ever a tool to him now, there are still those conflicting emotions. There’s still that deep underlying feeling that he needs to care for him, that he wants to care for him no matter how awful he was. 

Now that Belos is gone he doesn’t know how to feel, there’s shock, relief, pain, and anger all in that one expression. He’s not happy that his abuser is gone but he’s not glad either, Belos’s manipulation with Hunter runs deep and even though he understands that Belos was evil now, it’s going to take a while for him to be able to feel fully glad that he’s gone, if that even ever happens.

[ID: a digital drawing of characters from the owl house based on the song "up the wolves" by the mountain goats. At the top of the drawing there's a rectangular panel showing Camila and Eda. Camila looks out at the boiling isles at night with her bat. Eda mirrors her pose, with her arm covered in feathers. Shadows form to look like the collectors face, covering Eda's eyes and parts of Camila. Beneath this panel is a star with King and the Collector inside of it, holding hands and spinning midair. Beneath this is the archway portal from thanks to them, which is glowing, and at the bottom of the image is the hexsquad lined up in their designs from for the future, lit by the portal light and looking determinedly into the distance. The lyrics that span the image are "our mother has been absent/ever since we founded Rome/but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home". The background is black. End ID]

I knew I couldn't say goodbye to this show without redrawing one of my favorite old pieces, this lyric comic based on Up The Wolves by the mountain goats. I made it pre-ttt and was honestly really vindicated by all the wolf imagery that ep, lmao

Questions TBB Better Fucking Answer Soon:

Where the FUCK is Tech??? Stop fucking giving us hope that he might be C2-X or whatever the fuck. Fucking show us his dead body or give him back to us!

Where the FUCK is Cody?? Huh??? Where did he go??? Only acceptable answer? He's on his way to Tatooine to be with Obi-Wan. You reveal that and all will be forgiven. I promise. Maybe.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH WOLFFE FOR LETTING REX AND THE GANG GET AWAY HUH??? I'M SURE THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES!! WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO GET HIM BACK???

What the fuck is up with Omega. Straight up. What. How. and Why? Same with Emerie. How the fuck did they come to be? Are they trans? yes. next question.

Also why does Emerie get a last name and nobody else does, hm? Why is she Emerie Karr, is that like,, did she choose that or like?? Ok dumb question sure but like,, EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY OR JUST CONFIRM SHE'S TRANS OR SOMETHING C'MON NOW.

SHOW US WHAT THE FUCK IS IN THOSE FUCKING TUBES!

I'm sorry, I'm yelling but I've spent most of this season fucking confused and frustrated.

Where the fuck did the zillo beast go? And when is it going to eat Hemlock and Palpatine?

So...Senator Chuchi and Clone Revolution when?

And like...Cid is just...she's just going to be able to get away with what she did? We're just gonna forget about her? I mean sure, but I really thought they'd bring her back or something.

What the fuck happened to Crosshair on Tatniss? Wait, nevermind, don't tell me, I don't want to know, it'll only make me sad-

WAIT SO LIKE,, DID CROSSHAIR EVER ACTUALLY GET HIS FUCKING CHIP REMOVED OR NOT???

Explain again Hunter's enhanced senses and why the fuck he seems to have lost them in this season.

Also answer why Wrecker is the most perfect man ever? Why did they craft the most wonderful man to exist and then make him not real? You trying to kill me or what?

Feel free to add on because there are only the ones on the top of my head.

#i feel like i have a lot more questions than answers #and that gives me hope that maybe we're getting a new show or something #but like #i shouldn't hold star wars to that kind of standard now should I? #whatever man #no way they're tying this all up in two fucking episodes #god fucking dammit #i mean i'm sure they'll answer most of those things #considering there is only TWO FUCKING EPISODES LEFT #i think you can tell why i'm so on edge #anyways #max's musing #tbb #t #tbb s3 #the bad batch #tbb hunter #tbb echo #tbb wrecker #tbb crosshair #tbb tech #tbb omega #royce hemlock #doctor hemlock #emerie karr #commander wolffe #commander cody #captain rex

writing an argument in the princess AU that's basically just, like.

luz: hunter. [Bad Dog voice] we Don't kill people who are politically inconvenient.

hunter: I WASN'T GONNA!!!!!

luz: I Can See You Thinking About It, Hunter ,

hunter: I AM NOT GOING TO KILL ANYONE. BUT YOU ARE DRIVING ME TO TERRORISM,

#when they arent ronsey they are adansey bc this is where i thrive. sorry everyone #this is a relatively low stakes argument. hunter is not going to do anything bad & no one's feelings are truly getting hurt #but truly it's just. #me in a protecting the empress competition when my opponent (the fucking empress) keeps impulsively telling random outlaws state secrets #like luz baby you're doing so good and care so much. but oh my god give hunter a Break #horrible mindscape trauma pals #princess luz AU #toh

wc fans: we want more morally gray female characters

morally gray female wc character: *says/does things that are fucked up/morally gray*

wc fans: This Character Is So Abusive. How Dare The Erins Try To Make Us Sympathize With This Character. She Has No Redeeming Qualities Whatsoever And I'm Sick Of Seeing People Defend Her. I Hate Warrior Cats

#mod meows #do i dare tag this as #bluestar #frecklewish #needletail #<- just the ones ive seen get this treatment the most lol #look im in no way trying to defend erin hunter or anything #but i feel like so many ppl will just take the worst faith interpretation of characters actions #and assume that it equates to the authors actual morals #and blame any moral complexity that a character may have on 'bad writing' #and again. not saying the erins ARENT bad writers with a history of botching their own characterizations. bc they are #but i feel like some ppl just like to assume that thats the case w EVERY character #anyway. rant over. i love when women do fucked up things

yall were right hxh 1999 is even better than 2011

#it moves at a slower pace but like not in a Bad Shounen way #in a tone and character building way #that added arc in the hunter exam where they have to escape the island before the storm kills them?? brilliant #it feels like it should be filler but it’s actually so big for kurapika and so many other minor characters?! and ponzu/pokkle cuteness?!! #also yeah kurapika and leorio feel so much gayer ngl. i can’t even point to any specific changes i just know it #gon…… gon my friend gon…… he’s one of my favorite characters ever honestly #rewatching hunter exam with the hindsight of having seen chimera ant arc is. crazy. #so many seeds planted of neuroticisms and obsessions and flaws for gon #it’s crazy that the manga was only on yorknew with this show started because the foreshadowing is fucking crazy #like i remember being like ‘okay but there is something actually wrong with this child’ on my first watch but like. holy shit. #also hisoka’s nen being described as like.. pure unadulterated bloodlust. because they have no explaination for it otherwise #and just in general his presentation oh my god… literally gave me chills i fucking hate him !!!!!!!!

okay but dracula thinking that the random mild mannered solicitor who had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with him had died,, after all he disappeared at exactly the time he would have been disposed of

and then coming back to your new home in england (the one he set you up with) only to find some dudes Absolutely Ready To Kill You

and one of them you know hung around renfield

and one of them you might have heard of (if you had any awareness of vampire hunters)

and one of them you know hung around lucy

and one of them Keeps Shooting At You With A Gun Every Time You're In Bat Form

and then one of them comes at you with a knife and youre like wtfwtfwtf whompst and he got a new hairstyle and a new depressive state but Mr. Solicitor?? The Blorbo from my Real Estate Company??

#istg dracula is the worst strategist of all time #but like i need to know if dracula immediately recognised jonathan #or if he went ahh fuck whompst first #because my boy looks Different and Harrowed #i also just love that Professional Vampire Hunter and Cowboy Who Keeps Shooting You feel lower on the threat list than #Real Estate Guy™ #i get why he defenestrated himself that shits wild #dracula #dracula daily #i need pov: dracula so bad #his letters are all addressed to ebony dark'ness dementia raven way #about equivalent states of cognitive functionality between those two

[engagemythrusters]

Okay. Watching The Bad Batch for the first time and I’ve only gotten 2/3rds of the way thru the first season thus far, but I feel I now understand the characters well enough to start making conjectures.

So here’s what I’ve got so far:

Due to the inherent Muchness of heightened senses, I wouldn’t doubt a sensory processing disorder for Hunter. It’s clear that he’s gotten a handle on it (aka learned to adapt to, compensate for, and understand it) by the time TBB appears in The Clone Wars, but I bet it was hard to deal with when he was younger.

Wrecker appears to have a developmental/learning/intellectual disability of some sort, compounded by a TBI. He struggles with bigger words and is impulsive, along with other notable markers. This could have stemmed from the accident that left the facial scar and blinded his eye, but it seems that, based on how the other three original bad batch clones act around him, that this has always been a thing. A TBI likely added to this, because he seriously just keeps getting smacked in the head, the poor guy. He’s just a walking headache.

That being said, he likely gets lots of migraines. Seriously, that much head-smacking can’t result in a fun, happy time up in his head, pain-wise. I suspect the other four get them, too. Hunter has to process a lot of information from all senses, and Crosshair from his sight. That’s a lot to deal with, and I know I get headaches from a lot less. Tech… he’s staring at screens all day. Blue-light headaches much? And Echo… he’s literally got so much going on up there, technology wise, that it’s undoubtedly the cause of many a migraine. He’s one bad interface connection from a seizure, practically.

Crosshair has some attachment issues, I think. Like I believe all the clones would, had they not been programmed otherwise. They never got held by a caring individual, for gods sake. Maybe later generations had older brothers to hold them every so often, but that’s not enough. They never got one-on-one care. And, since his programming never kicked in correctly, Crosshair has all of that just shoved into his twig body. So, RAD, due to his obviously avoidant nature.

Tech is autistic and I don’t think that’s debatable, really. Like that textbook autism (which leads to a discussion about his savant nature being paired with a highly autistic-coded character and the harmful impact that could create for us autistic people in real life. The same harm of Wrecker’s disability vs how he’s treated as an ‘it’ in the show (said explicitly by Cid) and how Crosshair, with evident attachment issues, is demonised as the villain. BUT THATS ITS OWN ESSAY TO WRITE.)

Omega has ADHD and that one’s not heavily coded like the rest, but I think it fits!

None of them have true favourite siblings, but each are easier to go to for different things. Hunter, for leadership and emotional advice. Crosshair, for silent understanding (pre-chip activation). Wrecker, for emotional understanding and grounding. Tech, for intellectual advice and rationality. Echo, for interpersonal advice. Omega, for intrapersonal advice and a fresh, new perspective on everything.

I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that Hunter would have the highest, shrillest scream. It doesn’t make sense, but it just seems right (to me personally).

Tech and Echo spend a lot of time on Echo’s implants and prostheses. Echo clearly isn’t using them for their original intent—some not even used at all—so they have to be updated, modified, or taken out. (As evidenced by the—I’m assuming what is a—neural interface he now wears and the lack of other implants he used to have in TCW.)

Echo has chronic pain, due to phantom limbs. That, and it must take a lot out of him for those prostheses. They're melded to him in a way that seems... not user-friendly. Techno Union wasn't doing it because they wanted him to live a fulfilling life. They did it because they needed him. They wouldn't care about his pain. It's unlikely that he doesn't feel constant pain. I'm guessing his everyday average pain level it's equivalent to what normal people (i.e.: people who aren't me or other chronic pain-havers) would consider a 4 out of 10.

I have a feeling that most of them know the basics of swimming, but likely aren’t good at it—Wrecker especially. And, with all that armour, it probably wouldn’t matter if they could swim or not. That shit will absolutely sink them. Omega, once taught, would LOVE IT, though.

Crosshair would let a tooka adopt him. As in, he would let the cat follow him around. Whether or not he’d do anything for or about the tooka… I don’t know. But he’d allow it. (Wrecker would dote on the thing if it followed him. Lula and said tooka would be his best buds. He may like explosions, but he’s a sweet guy at heart!)

Echo and Crosshair have absolutely held staring contests. Asserting dominance. (Somehow, despite not having been involved in the first place, Wrecker has won at least two of them.)

Hunter has a taste for meilooruns. Tech does not.

All of them snore. Echo’s even has an electronic buzzing to it. Tech is absolutely the loudest. Omega has wished to smother them all in their sleep.

soulless sam was at his best when he was still being written as a version of sam, to accentuate parts of him that normally get held back, and not as 'guess he's evil now'. soulless sam when he's reflecting sam's tendency to lose sight of everything else in pursuit of a goal. soulless sam when he's just kind of rude without thinking about it without his filter on. soulless sam when he's equal parts intent on keeping dean with him and also happy to lie to him and keep him shut out of the things he knows dean won't like so that dean won't leave. soulless sam when he equally recognizes that he is a better hunter now, and also that he probably can't continue to exist without his soul. (you know. before they went along with making him just kind of evil.)

...soulless sam when he's begging for literally anyone to acknowledge his autonomy in this situation and not force him to take his soul back without knowing how much it could damage him and being ignored.

#i have normal thoughts about this man #i love the soulless sam arc actually until it nosedives #i love how it gives us a new lens to examine sam through #i love that soulless sam isn't even really! malicious! he's just exactly what he says: a better hunter! #like the most Bad thing he does is inarguably dean vampire transformation #but id point out that. that gives us even more fascinating stuff to analyze about him #like for one. sam knows not only About the cure but about how dean can't drink blood for it to work. right? #so what can we deduce from this: 1) he is not arbitrarily risking his brother. he is making from his pov the most logical decisions to kill #the vamps they're after. and 2) soulless sam without a doubt believes that dean will resist drinking blood. because otherwise the cure won' #work on him. and you can say 'well he doesn't have a connection to dean because soulless reasons' but. i mean. that's false. clearly. #even if all it is is leftover feelings of responsibility towards dean and familiarity and knowing that dean's a good hunter. #that's still a connection! dean *does* matter to him! and soulless sam believes he wont go for blood. that dean can't. #(sidenote if dean did? i dont think soulless would have killed him. this is sam & dean we're talking about. #soul or not. vampire or not. sam is keeping him around.) #anyway the point of this is that soulless sam is both Very Simple to understand and Very Complex when you get into the details of it #but on the basic level he is just sam's drive to hunt unattached from morality. he is just a better hunter. #i like that characterization far better than 'he is evil and wants to do murder and bad things' #oh and also he fucks people's wives. he's fun like that. #soulless!sam #spn #sam winchester

[ID: a digital drawing of Luz and Hunter from the owl house dressed as Erika and Annalise from Barbie: Princess and the Pauper, respectively. The two are clasping hands, looking at each other happily and singing "yes I am a witch like you!". A blue butterfly flies behind hunter, while a pink one flies behind Luz. The background is light purple. End ID] @toh-described

Had this idea all week and finally sat down and did it while watching Princess and the Pauper lmao. Did u guys know it's on netflix now???? Hello?????

Also, bonus: how'd they'd really react getting to sing a duet

#the owl house #toh #hunter toh #luz noceda #i. am not tagging princess and the pauper #It's just a doodle but I didn't wanna spend a ton of time on it otherwise I'd end up never finishing it. lmao (spoken with pain) #fun fact this took me. nearly the exact runtime of that film. like i was hitting export as the credits started rolling #anyway this movie slaps so hard I'm so fucking glad it's on netflix #can we get more barbie movies please??? i know there's some modern ones but can we get some classics too?????? #my fav growing up was the one abt Pegasus'. where's that one. i need it #also this isn't an au but just know if it was an au.

Idk maybe I'm just sensitive but I rlly hate when fanfics have shovel talks between characters that live and die for each other. Like sure let's let red haired shanks have a say about Roronoa 'died but came back' 'took Luffy's pain and burden' 'first mate' zoro bout weather or not he can kiss his captain. Yea

#sometimes its straight up infantilizing too which is not fun #i dont actually feel like. hostile i just find it really fucking funny. like those two are literally the sun and the moon. god and the king #of hell. the food and the drink the captain and the first mate the boss and his right hand man the boy and his bodyguard #the only one that was specifically sought out the pirate king and the ex demon pirate hunter. i could go on and on #background character no.23 dosnt need to say jack shit dw about it #psii.txt #this isnt just zolu specific tho. any ship where the intensity of their relationship is just so strong fits under here #maybe i just dont like the concept of shovel talks in general tho they always make me cringe and feel bad #anyway im going to sleep now thats enough fanfic i didnt vibe with for tonight

IIII think I may go the "change Tigerheart's name entirely" route for my au tbh.

#i knowww there's interesting stuff about maybe tawny wishing to redeem the name and their kin #or maybe even naming her son after the good parts of her dad that she fondly remembered #and then the second tigerstar having ideals that are so incredibly different from the first tigerstar #but like. its fucking confusing man skldfjklsdfjldsfjdlfjdlsjfldsfjldsfsd #you cant do this to me erin hunter. you cant make these guys look exactly the same and have the same relatives #and have the exact same name and then lampshade how ''similar'' they are #its just. man. it sucks im sorry #i kinda want to name her swiftheart instead after swiftpaw #or lynxheart cause thats cute. after lynxkit (swift/tawnys deceased sibling) #like its an interesting idea and i like the idea of reclaiming a name but it just makes things messier than they should be #especially since the erins dont actually seem to think tigerheartstar is a subversion of the original tigerstar #also while tawny definitely has conflicting feelings on her father in razorverse i dont think she'd name a kid after him #that one moment i read in tawnypelts clan where she holds his name over his head leaves a bad taste in my mouth honestly #and it just makes me want to cut any notion of ''she did it to redeem the name or honor what she liked about her father'' out
