#HOW IS ANYONE INTIMIDATED BY HIM

[ashshmee]

andrew minyard was so sassy about being the only one driving his car but it was prob just because he was embarrassed about how long it would take to push the seat back.

#as someone who is 5’1 #i don’t understand how anyone was intimidated by him #THERE ARE CHILDREN WHO ARE TALLER THAN HIM #andrew minyard #aftg #all for the game #andreil

there's no way the bathroom at peppino's pizza is actually that big but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . hey ummm anyway.... i care them...... anyway there's a lil ramble on my take on fake pep's like psyche or whatever in tags on the og post if ur into that kinda thing :y

hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino]<-u are here [gustavo] [gerome] [noisette again]

#ramble after realtags yeag. shoutout to serrangelic btw suggesting the silhouettes thing bc i would have Died otherwise #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #gustavo and brick #arting #pizzaposting #so anyway i think fake peppino has like. a general awareness that he is supposed to Be Peppino and that he was Made to do that #and likewise he does generally try to...do that. the thing he does NOT realize is hes like really goddamn bad at it #not to be mean but like...c'mon. they are pretty distinctly different kinds of guys even beyond the physiology yknow. #he's neither on-brand nor fooling anyone dsjdsjjkgfsd. BUT! #since the rest of the cast generally likes him [at least as I play it] he thinks hes doing just fine #he's like 'oh they r happy with me so i must be getting a good grade in being peppino :)' #so getting told that 'yeah you actually really suck at that but that was never the reason people liked you' #and told that by og model peppino no less--yknow THE guy he's supposed to be living up to #who's already a bit intimidating for that and who ALSO totally wrecked him TWICE in the tower #making him acutely familiar with just how formidable the guy is and how much there IS to live up to.... #it's a Moment for sure. not really a sad or hurt one though. just... contemplative. #thinking abt people liking him for being the guy he's already naturally been being even though that guy is Not Peppino #i don't think he's gonna be super broken up about realizing he has a bad grade in peppino given everything else hes got now #nor do i really think he cares enough to go like reinvent himself or whatever after the fact #he seems to b pretty clearly having fun with it already so i think he just keeps doing that #and in some cases he still has the pre-installed peppino traits/instincts like to cooka da pizza. and that's fine #is this projection. yes. but if youve been following me awhile you know most of my character writing is ghdhfdgf #gonna kinda expand on all this in the gerome one which is...one after next. itll be a bit but man. #anyway peppino will never admit to anyone and especially not himself that he's gotten a little attached to the guy. hee hoo #pep tends to be kinda surly but he certainly has his ways of showing he cares. all of which are on display here #''that thing is not my son'' says man currently watching thing's antics with the 'bemused dad' arms crossed pose. yeah ok buddy. #gus is totally onto him already but hes not gonna say anything. #if u read all this ur prize is not having to go decode fp's rot13. his lines are ''meant to be you...?'' and ''wrong question.''

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!

Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).

Maya is incredible. I loved her.

I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?

WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;

i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.

#damian wayne #ask #sorry for R:SOB promo again but i need this title attached to Damian's name as much as B&R 2009/2011😭 #thank you for the ask anon!! really am so happy you were able to find the time to read RSOB and enjoy it!! i genuinely cheered 😭 #i hope some of these comics give you many emotions and/or a smile!! <3 #if anyone would like to correct something or include some Damian comics please feel free to comment or add to the post!! #sorry if the reading guide is an intimidating wall of text hhh after i finished it i was like...this does not look beginner friendly LOL 😭 #Damian's Teen Titans run is beginner friendly but it's so frustrating to read his character being regressed especially after RSOB #ig i would only recc the first 5 issues just for Mara asdsfg #super/bat 77 comic rlly made me wonder how Williamson could've made Damian sound so stiff now compared to his first time writing him?? rip. #also i love how there's so many Halloween stories here lol #maybe?? i'll do a guide for Damian's intro since those were the most confusing for me when i really got into his comics #i think his most recent appearances are a bit easier to figure out on your own but i don't mind doing a guide for that too if needed! #OOF tags got long lol i may be a bit nervous posting this bc i'd like ppl to read more Damian but worried i may have goofed somewhere #but hopefully this is helpful to anyone curious about peeking at his comics!!

[cuubism]

dream and hob are really just that post that was like 'introverts only make friends when an extrovert forcibly adopts them'

#hob picking dream up by the scruff of his neck: you're my friend now and we're having soft tacos later! #that was death's goal she was like hob is powerful and outgoing enough to rope dream into a friendship. i'm sure of it #dream's never had a friend because he never approaches anyone or tries and no one approaches him because he's scary and intimidating #except hob who doesn't give a fucK!! #hob: me and the best friend i pulled by not knowing when to quit! #little does hob know once he wins dream's favor dream will never let go of his hand and be completely obsessed with him for the rest oftime #that's how it works #dreamling #i feel u dream i've never initiated a relationship ever either

finally finished my project of collecting voiceclaims that are as close as i can find for my hcs of the main HoO cast - just for funsies so it's not as perfect as I'd like but whatever, it was a neat exploration and exercise of me trying to think of literally any franchise for voice actors.

Leo got two cause I had trouble of finding good clips for the voiceclaim that's closers to my hcs for him (the second half of his section). Also got to play the fun game of digging through my art for decent doodles of each character.

Also fun fact, I am almost completely unfamiliar with 3 franchises in this video and was just digging for voice clips on youtube. Try to guess which ones.

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #video #headcanon #headcanons #my art #jason also gets two but theyre the same so it doesnt count. and its mostly just cause silly. i had to. #and before anyone asks - ''is that Scaramouche's VA with Leo-?'' yes but i have zero genshin knowledge #and the voice he does for Scaramouche isnt quite what i have in mind for Leo #also 2nd fun fact i briefly considered Vash for Jason but then i realized. same VA as Lio #as hilarious as it would be to have Jason and Nico share a VA voiceclaim i will refrain #Piper's is a bit higher than i'd like but Michiru definitely has the right energy for what i imagine for her #when her voice dips lower that's a lot closer to what i imagine. the energy is close enough though that im fine with the pitch difference #Percy's is very amusing to me. like yeah no Percy has Haru energy. that works out great #normal Haru or abridged Haru? you decide #that is genuinely SUPER close to how i picture his voice though. everyone forgets Percy is a lil monotone and intimidating sometimes #let him be quiet and brooding but his internal monologue is just ''LIFE IS LIKE A HURRICANE~ HERE IN~ DUCKBURG~'' #the voicelines in general are also just. so Percy. its so perfect im so pleased with that one #anyways. throws this into the ether #i might remake this if i can find closer voices - feel free to throw suggestions at me #also might try to make one for other characters if i can find good voiceclaims for them

Alright, this isn’t just me nitpicking for nitpicking’s sake, but Valentino needs to be more seemingly disarming than he’s depicted as being if he is to be a pimp.

You’re not supposed to know someone’s a pimp (if they’re supposed to be a good one) on sight. You only know when someone tells you (and usually - if you’re not involved with shit like that - you just about don’t believe it) or when you’re being propositioned, and still even while you’re being propositioned a part of you - even though you know what’s happening - wants to take them up on their offer (especially if you’re desperate). Pimps that are prominent and rich still exist but they don’t make money if they can’t read a fucking room and manipulate bitches to some extent. The only reason you don’t hear about pimps is because the people still doing fuck shit like that are good at what they do, and good at hiding it (and because instances where they do get caught tend to stay local).

That’s why show/canon Valentino is just shit. He’s unbelievable as a threat to anyone who’s not Angel Dust, and it’s almost shocking he hasn’t been kicked out of the Vees or demoted to just being Vox’s boytoy with how utterly transparent he is in his antagonism and villainy. The only threat canon Valentino poses is to Vox’s business model.

#real Valentino “stans” want to see him be great okay? #we don’t excuse his canonically mediocre villainy (outside of his relationship w/ Angel Dust) #not that I’m a stan of anything - that was a joke - but still #hazbin hotel critical #valentino #Valentino’s wasted potential as a villain™️ #instances like Valentino’s canon actions really make me question how much research could’ve possibly gone into these characters #hazbin hotel #he’s kicking around and (I believe) raping Angel Dust because it’s easy but why’s anyone else scared of/intimidated by him? #hazbin hotel valentino #the vees #hazbin hotel thoughts #hazbin hotel criticism #hazbin hotel the vees #hazbin valentino #i speak bitches *mwah* #me•

[allhappyandgay]

looking for gifs and saw these four all together…

top two show him in love (with will) and bottom two show him kiddie crushing (on eddie). there’s a comfortableness and deep love in the first ones that the other two don’t have, which in place of show a giddy admiration. he looks up to eddie and he feels equal to will. such a subtle yet obvious difference! the quality of finn wolfhard’s acting everybody

#I am stanley in the corner #I had a bit of a moment when I saw this lol #like we know we know #but 4.01 is so genius in the way it shows mikes sexuality #aside from all the hints like when he’s looking for someone to join dnd and his room decor etc we’ve never seen him have a crush before #ik it’s only subtextual it’s not canon canon but we’ve seen dustin and lucas and other characters crushing on ppl #but not mike yet. he’s never looked at anyone like that not even will (cuz it’s different) like he’s clearly intimidated by eddie #as is dustin #he’s a bit on edge around him #but he looks at him and the lyrics of fever playing and how he acts in contrast to dustin in that scene is telling #and then comparing it to one’s with will #he’s so comfortable with will #and he’s prob one of the only ppl that doesn’t make him feel inferior #random thoughts spilling out but yeah #mike wheeler #byler #gay mike wheeler

thinking about her again (ed and stede holding each other w both hands and playing thumb war)

#u dont understand how much that scene means to me like they're just so comfortable w each other in a way they were never before w anyone #else and ed could never allow himself to be soft and gentle before stede bc he had to survive and if he wasn't intimidating he was basically #dead but stede showed up again and again that being soft gentle kind etc isn't a bad thing and stede created A SAFE SPACE in the brutality #of piracy and he showed ed that letting himself be soft is never a bad thing and ed is just SO comfortable w stede even after everything and #no one ever loved stede and he never loved anyone in a way that made him want to touch them in such a sweet way or any way really but ed #showed him what it was like to be loved like breathing and i just i JUSSDRF #ofmd #stede bonnet #edward teach #gentlebeard #our flag means death s2 #our flag means death #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers

No wonder he cares so much about the gargoyles vs grotesques distinction*. Gargoyles look intimidating but are actually benign--importantly, unknown to most people--whereas grotesques have no purpose beyond their appearance. Fearsome is all they are.

(Also I LOVE when characters purposefully, diagetically discuss their own metaphors. Both because it's interesting analytically and because it makes it clear that they are Nerds.)

*in addition to just being neurodivergent

#Insomnia replays twisted wonderland #I have so many thoughts and most of them aren't neat enough to fit into a post right now #But thinking about how he so desperately wants people to know he's not just an intimidating dragon fae (even though he's shit at saying so) #And how he tells anyone who even remotely prompts it that gargoyles help maintain the buildings they're on #And!!! #how he cares so much about being seen as a fully dimensional person #And how that's connected to him disliking grotesques #which are exactly as simple as they look #Also the fact that he never actually gets involved in protecting Ramshackle was disappointing on my first playthrough #I mean it makes sense because Yuu and co saved it in time #And also because frankly whatever he might do to Azul to keep his Spooky Hangout Spot would not be pretty #Twisted wonderland #insomnia rambles #Malleus draconia

where is his emmy

#i actually cannot get into this because i wont stop but this shit is so damn good. #i love how big and scary his eyes get when he gets defensive #peter/londo absolutely ATE this scene too like... ACTING!!!! #its just so good its such good delicious food for meee yummy #i just love how intimidating londo is and how sinister he can be #weve been seeing how determined he is and how he schemes to get what he wants #but theres something special about seeing him knock a former ally down a couple pegs #but also bill forward is so god damn perfect for this role in every way its really great #he physically compliments londo in his apperance being taller being more thin his softer features in his face his smaller nose #he is essentially londos waluigi and i love it so much #it makes his role as a foil for londo even more apparent and striking. its perfect. #i love the little mannerisms he has when he acts as refa #his head movements #the nodding thing he does where he tucks his chin into his chest to get Serious #he carries himself in such an Alien way and it is perfect physical acting for a centauri character #he really understood this role and understood the character and i dont think anyone else could have played him #and gave the performance he did #he is soooo criminially underrated #the way that he barely blinks is so slimy and scary it is so fucking perfect. excuse me. #also as an aside #'ohhh londo' #i need to lie down. i hate him. #also refa and londos chemistry is actually insane in every scene they have i am locked the fuck in because theyre both so capitavting #and they work with each other So Well #i need to just write my damn essay on him and get it all out of my system because whew. #lots of thoughts for a guy in six episodes ! ! !

[that-was-anticlimactic]

okay no but thinking about ritsu with tourette’s, right? and this boy is like… the king of suppression because he feels like he needs to be the perfect student and son and all that jazz and he’s also so embarrassed by the fact that he can’t control his body. so he suppresses like there’s no tomorrow and it hurts so much but he does it anyways. he lets himself tic at home, but even then he’s so used to suppression he forces it to be mild so his family thinks it’s better than it is. he lets loose more in his room by himself, but even then he sometimes has trouble doing it. he frequently has tic attacks in his room:/

anyways so let’s say one day mob and reigen and serizawa and teru and tome and shou and dimple are all at spirits and such, right? and like ritsu has student council stuff or something idk anyways and serizawa asks reigen where he gets his fidget toys because one of his classmates has ts and has been searching but can’t find any they like. and before reigen can respond, mob speaks up and is like “oh you should ask ritsu” and everyone just. stares at him because reigen has like a box of fidget toys in his office and an individual stress ball for each person and ritsu has quite literally never used them. and they’re like “why?” so mob is like “he has some fidget toys in his room—he doesn’t really take them places. i don’t know why he doesn’t. they really help his ts”. and everyone just stares x2

so eventually, reigen is like “ritsu has ts???” and mob just cocks his head and says “yes??? did you guys not know this?” and absolutely NONE of them knew he had ts because ritsu is THAT good at suppressing and if he’s in a position where he can’t suppress, he finds a way to leave so he’s alone. and like mob didn’t fully realize that ritsu was suppressing because he lives with ritsu and sometimes hears it from his room and sees it at dinner and he notices the little signs that other people don’t see unless they know and he’s like “you… really didn’t know??? does he not tic around you guys?” and then everyone comes to the realization that ritsu is HARDCORE suppressing

anyways i think it’d be sweet if reigen sat down and talked with him and ritsu is super stand-offish at first and snappy and then reigen says something like “we’d rather have you as you are—you don’t need to try to be the perfect ritsu because you’re already the perfect ritsu” or something along those lines. and ritsu starts having a breakdown and like it takes awhile for him to be comfortable ticcing in public. he starts small with the spirits and such gang and then slowly lets it happen during school and stuff and everyone is just. so proud of him. he’s less tense all the time and it helps him be more vocal about when he’s in pain and needs help and he starts to actually use his fidget toys and. yeah. feelings.

#oops this got longer than i intended uhhhhhhh #anyways i just think he has ts #he told me personally #and i just think that ritsu slowly becoming comfortable enough with everyone around him to simply BE himself and like him realizing that he #he isn't embarrassing to be around and that just having ts isn't embarrassing and just like. reigen giving him massages for free and teru #finding fun kt tape for him to use and shou giving heated massages and serizawa picking up fidget toys he thinks ritsu would like and tome #and tome and dimple just supporting him and calling him out if he's being all broody and self-deprecating about it (in a Good way not mean #way) and then mob sitting him down and having a serious talk about emotions and pain and suppressing with him and how he shouldn't do that #anymore and he wouldn't want mob to suppress if it were him and that he has nothing to be ashamed of because he's fine as he is and mob #loves each and every part of him and. AHUGFXDGCHJKLNBHVGFDCSVBGHJTGFDCSDXVFBGHNJKHYGTFDVCBGVNHBJKLJUYJTFCDGVBHJKUYTFRDFXCGVHUJYTFRDFXCGVHBJK #i just. have feelings. #and if anyone is ever mean to ritsu about his ts he's got like the whole spirits and such gang on his side and also the awakening lab kids #and the ex-claw members and the mob recruits the body improvement club to look intimidating and the telepathy club and just #🥺🥺🥺 #it's about ritsu learning to love himself and to not find who he is embarrassing and not putting on a front because he feels like he has to #ahem #i am. fine. #sO ANYWAYS THANKS IF YOU ACTUALLY MANAGED TO READ ALL THIS IUYGTFDXFGCHUIJOMNUBYVTFG DCGVBHNJMK #mp100 #ritsu kageyama #ritsu with tourette's

You know, one thing ive been thinking about the whole keke's outfit thing...it continues to baffle me how the straight heterosexual view of women's 'attractiveness' STILL tends to equate scantily clad with 'availability' or 'asking for it' or 'putting it on display'. As if wearing something skimpy is what threatens the boyfriend's position as the only man who is allowed to be attracted to his girlfriend.

But like. And i cant speak for all women attracted to women here. But i KNOW i am not the only woman who watched nope, caught the VERY SUBTLE HINTS, and was immediately like 'oh she is the hottest thing ever I AM DEVOTED TO HER' because we are starved for lesbian characters just being allowed to exist and be attractive on screen without catering to the male gaze. Like the akira slide and motorcycle scenes? Sexy as hell. The little dancey thing to classic music? Sexy. Her general refusal to sit upright? Still hot. And she was doing it all in slightly butch but still extremely stylish clothing that basically covered everything. And i mean she was still the most attractive character on that screen the entire time, i probably missed half the movie because i was just watching her the whole time. And it had absolutely nothing to do with how little she was wearing.

Like yes keke herself also looked sexy in that dress/bodysuit that her boyfriend hated so much. But why is it THAT that makes him insecure? Why not the thousands of lesbian/bisexual girls who watched nope a few too many times just to daydream about dating a girl like emerald one day?

#Journal shit #My own insecurities are all about emotional intimacies #Like the physical attractiveness stuff doesnt make me jealous #If other people find my significant other attractive thats fine #But if it starts to feel like there is someone who would be better suited for my significant other emotionally or personality or whatever #Yeah lol #It seems like with men its very much about control #They want to control the relationship and feel secure that their woman is performing *sexy* only for them #Though i would guess an independant woman scares and intimidates insecure men too #Like a woman who has a choice to just walk out scares them #I have tried and tried to wrap my head around shit like this #Like my abusive ex used to HATE all my friends #Every. Single. One. Of. Them. #And he refused to believe i wasnt secretly wishing i could date every other person in my life #Like everyone was a threat #And i bent over backwards trying to make him feel secure nothing EVER worked #I lost tons of friends that year 2011 is hell year for a reason i was SO isolated and lonely and hermity #I would make friends and then lose them quickly partially because my boyfriend didnt like anyone #And its not like he wasnt very vocal about the girls he ACTUALLY wanted to be dating who werent me #and how much he resented me for not being prettier more talented more elegant/refined whatever #It was a mind fuck and always made me feel like i was going crazy trying to jump all the hoops #Even after he dumped me theres still sad sack journal entries on this blog of me sighing about how much i loved and missed him lmao #I took all his insecurity and hate and turned it on myself like why couldnt i BE better why couldnt i make him happy #Spoiler alert that didnt work #I guess i always felt like i kinda deserved it i was mostly ugly and not worth much and who can blame my ex #But seeing women who have it all STILL get stuck dealing with asshole behavior? :( makes me sad

Some low effort doodles of Theresia prettied up a little.

This was largely inspired by Professor Layton puzzle solving animations as I’ve been enjoying the thought of this extremely overpowered ripped 2m tall beast goddess casually hanging out and solving puzzles with the Layton gang

#ocs #theresia #doodle #artists on tumblr #original character #oc #let me be cringe by putting my oc into canon. hear me out. i just love how different she is from the layton gang #professor layton and the azran legacy but what if aurora was this tall bitch who could snap your spine like a twig #but she's not here to battle shes here to solve puzzles so shes just looking really intimidating compared to everyone else #shes not actually replacing anyone or has a 'canon' in Professor Layton bc shes way too magic and fantasy to FIT but i like the dynamics #does not take descole seriously and calls him a nerd #gets along splendidly with emmy and they both have little friendly fights and go jogging together #this is part of 'forces myself to doodle more in an attempt to speed up my art process and draw more'
