#I like him good character

“Meet the Reaper” AKA Top 10 photos taken before disaster

Spoiler alert: Grim did not win the game. 

EDIT: if you disagree with the portrayal of Billy’s size, see my tags.

It was intentional. I didn’t want to make him chubby because I don’t like the implication that just because a kid is dirty, stupid, disgusting, and annoying... they must be chubby. I don’t agree with that trend in early cartoons and I don’t regret drawing Billy this way. If you can’t stand the idea of a dirty, stupid, disgusting, annoying character being thin instead of pudgy, please don’t interact. I don’t want people with that mindset touching my art. 

#billy and mandy #grim adventures of billy and mandy #my art #this moment lives in my brain rent free #EDIT: because some terminally online people don't have fucking manners #--> if you have a problem with the way I drew fucking billy of all people come to the inbox #don't be a coward and dropping shit in the tags telling the artist to choke #I CAN SEE YOU #I see that 1) you thought this was good enough to reblog for some reason 2) you deserve to be blocked #3) all the kids are the same size in billy and mandy AKA random blobs #4) IDK who you are or what you're going through so I'm blocking and leaving it at that #but I do NOT appreciate random white people insulting me over This of all things #for everyone else politely wondering- I drew billy this way because all the boys who acted like him when I was in elementary were 'skinny' #all the 'fat' kids were cleanly and pleasant #and billy canon is a disgusting brainless child- absolutely unrealistic for him to be chubby #hope that clears things up ;) #I didn’t want to make him chubby because I don’t like the implication that just because a kid is dirty stupid disgusting and annoying #they must be chubby #I don’t agree with that trend in early cartoons and I don’t regret drawing Billy this way #dni If you can’t stand the idea of a dirty stupid disgusting annoying character being thin instead of pudgy #if I could redo this I think I'd make Mandy chubbier #that's my one regret- at the time I just sketched mandy out as quickly as possible #because I only cared about drawing grim for... reasons lmao #and I wanted to finish this; I should have spent more time on her redesign

what really gets me about "you brought history's greatest pirate to ruin" is that stede didnt. he didnt do anything to blackbeard. he was only ever in the company of ed. and he gave ed so many outs. never once pushed anything on him he didnt want to do. from the very first "do you fancy a fine fabric?" "can you keep a secret?" to the agreement to teach each other after the lighthouse plan to "co-captain?" "co-captain?" to "you'd save me a seat, wouldnt you?" to "you dont have to do this" to "and what makes ed happy?" stede always puts the option in ed's hands. he never, not once, presumes what ed wants. he is kind, and open, and courteous. and yet he continues to blame himself, to feel such great shame for wanting, even when the other party wants it too.

during the whole beach scene, ed is making the decisions. he's doing what he wants to do, what makes him happy. he asks if stede wants to come with him, if he agrees to the plan. there is no forcefulness in anything that they do with each other ever. the idea that stede has done anything to ed is ridiculous; if ed, if blackbeard was against anything stede did he would fucking know about it.

but the fact that badminton got so under stede's skin that he couldn't see that. he couldnt possibly understand that ed would choose to be with him, choose to go along with what he suggested, because god knows no one else in his life has ever trusted stede's judgement or been kind or gone along with him willingly. so of course he assumes he must have manipulated ed in some way. he must have been ruining him, seeping into the cracks and becoming an awful puppet master, ed could never want to be with him, of course it's his fault. you know!!!!

#yknow what i mean!!!! #like the mindset that. oh ive manipulated you into caring about me you dont really care #is so relatable as someone who doesnt really have any friends #and struggles with social stuff all the time #the idea that someone would just. choose to hang out with you. like you of their own volition. #is so foreign its impossible to ever be sure #so i totally get why badminton's words affected him so much #combined with the trauma of him dying right in front of hikm #bringing back memories of nigel. like. i totally get it #it hurts and its awful to think about #but its such good writing and character motivation #god thank you david jenkins thank you so much for your service #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #someone has prbably said all this before so ignore me

[ozzo-the-wozzo]

Ok but since I can’t sleep… on to FELIX in this finale and his MOTIVES because YALL

Like first of all THIS SCENE!!!!!

The sentimonsters being humanized with their confusion and cute little grunts at being contained. The sad music on something that should’ve been triumphant. Felix refusing to participate. How DEVASTATED he looks. The APOLOGY.

This is where he decided he can’t side with ladybug. Even while both he and her are against Gabriel. Seeing the way she, in his eyes, completely disregards sentimonsters… he’s SCARED you guys. And honestly…. FOR GOOD REASON!!!!!

He’s literally 14 dude. He’s a kid. A smart bad ass kid who’s a little shit and owns spy gear, but a kid nothenless. And he can literally be snapped out of existence at any moment and knows he’s seen as less than human. He knows it’s dangerous to side with anyone that may think of him that way. Of course he’d only want to work for himself. Especially after seeing this.

And then THIS! LINE!

um… WHAT???

So does the peacock miraculous override the power of the ring? But then if so, what of the episode Ladybug? I mean Nathalie couldn’t control sentibug anymore now that she had the object with her amok in it. Does Felix intend to move his amok? Or does he not care bc he has his brain and body to control himself and maybe Gabriel just can’t use the ring to control Felix without the miraculous… ah my BRAIN HURTS. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS LORE MIRACULOUS.

Some people voiced being left unsatisfied with the supposed lack of follow up on sentimonster lore this episode but I think it was literally the MAIN thing driving the plot. And it was done… so well and subtly. I’m sobbing.

#this was SO GOOD #And yes I still will not forgive him for/this does not justify helping a terrorist destroy the world and making Mari cry #but also like I still love him as a character lowkey… #like I hope Adrien still beats his ass euphoria style but I also shouted material girl everytime he was on screen #and cackled at his convo with Gabriel #yes I hate him with all my heart and yes I also support his wrongs we exist #miraculous ladybug #mlb #ml #ml spoilers #ml strike back #strike back spoilers #strike back #miraculous #miraculous ladybug spoilers #tales of ladybug and cat noir #mlb spoilers #felix graham de vanily #mine

You can quote me on this: Ed’s attempt to Force The Narrative Into Drama (drowning Lucius) will be no match for Weaponized Comedy (he improbably survives by floating ishmael mobydick-style on his wooden finger).

#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #our flag means death spoilers #i do think he’s gonna be Presumed Dead for at least one ep tho if not a good bit of s2 #but i’m certain he’ll be back #he’s one of the best characters on the show and he didn’t get all that development just to be killed that unremarkably #although i’d like to see him Come Back Wrong in some way #i mean. i wouldn’t like it for HIM but Narratively Speaking - it would be Sexy is all i’m saying #bc he’s been so nice and lovely so far that (in hindsight) he’s had a target on his back for a long time #i mean LITERALLY in ep 3 Stede identified Lucius as the person whose death would have the power to destroy the Sitcom Vibe of the show #and… There We Go #that’s (symbolically) why Ed had to kill him specifically #so his return SHOULD return things to their comedy equilibrium #but it Won’t bc he’ll be somehow Fucked Up now #so idk What we’ll be looking at at that point #but i’m VERY excited to find out!!

A little annoyed every time someone compares Dazai's relationship with Oda vs his relationship with Chuuya in a "wow which one is more important??" kind of way. THEY'RE BOTH IMPORTANT. Like, these two people respresent things so fundamentally different to Dazai that it's impossible to compare them, really. Oda, for Dazai, is and was a way out, a person he turned to that could help him find meaning in his life, which is why he asks Oda to decide his purpose for him in the end. Oda is a man who refuses to kill and adopts orphans, someone who found meaning in his life despite the death and destruction that surrounds him, someone who, up until that point, was content with his existence. Meanwhile, Dazai sees in Chuuya what he sees in himself, and he's furious because he can't understand how Chuuya finds meaning in his own existence despite everything. He's jealous of that ability. And at the same time, he wants to protect it ("I want Chuuya to suffer as a human being"). Chuuya's existence is always a battle with himself, while Oda's was acceptance, and to Dazai, acceptance is what he wants for himself, for his future. He doesn't want to battle his own lack of meaning, he hates pain and he sees it as an extension of that.

At the same time, it was meeting Chuuya that gave him the desire to keep living, and meeting Oda that made him accept who he is. They're both equally important, it's just that with one, Dazai can be emotionally vunerable, and with the other, he can't imagine it, even after he joins the ADA. Being vunerable with Chuuya means accepting that part of himself that wants to fight, to keep going despite knowing it's pointless in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd manga #dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya #oda sakunosuke #soukoku #odazai #also im pretty sure Dead Apple confirmed Dazai was in love with Oda? #you know what's fun? that dazai loves oda for protecting orphans and doing what he believes he has to do (no killing) #meanwhile dazai loves chuuya for accepting himself and his power and coming to terms with himself #its like he sees these parallel aspects in the two and latches onto them #but again when it comes to ANYONE hes emotionally an idiot but hey it takes a death to finally open up to oda so #im not saying chuuya should die XD #BUT #bsd meta #bsd anime #basically chuuya challenges dazai to not be passive while oda challenges him to be better #man i remember watching the dark era anime for the first time and realizing this show is like. actually GOOD #like fma level good in terms of character at least

i sorta think it’s mad cool that they used this movie to like. knock peter down to a place that feels like the Real peter parker. like no more big tech. just a guy in the neighborhood. daily life struggles more now alongside wacky sci-fi fantasy world struggles.

#i know the actual plot is what got him there. but there’s also the other layer of like. #seeing what is essentially two future versions of himself who also have struggled and had issues. and he knows that no matter what he still #gets to be SOMEONE. especially that he can still be a good person and help people. #and i think while it’s the character development in being completely selfless that makes the decision to make everyone forget. #at least a little bit of it is also that he sees these two peters who no one knows are spiderman. and thinks that at Least he still gets to #keep being spiderman too. #anyway. thoughts. #marvel #spiderman #nwh spoilers #peter parker #spiderman no way home #bea.txt #collection post

Scusi, totally random rant coming up.

It's weird how in many fics Crowley is shown to be habitually rude to random people, snarling at them and stuff (and in extension how Aziraphale is often exaggeratedly kind to everyone). That's demon/angel stereotyping. Both of them display the full range of politeness and lack thereof on screen, depending on very human things like mood and stress levels.

Like, Crowley's instinctive mode of interacting with random strangers is to be polite. He's seen waving thanks at the cars letting them cross the street in Soho. (Aziraphale just walks into the road with all the faith of an angel and assumes no one will run him over lol.) He's very friendly and polite with R.P. Tyler when he asks for the way to the airbase, and at that time his car is on fucking fire and he's heading for the End of the World. But he's polite, all excuse me and thank you and much obliged, yes.

If we want to count this, and I do, he's also very friendly and open with Aziraphale in the first scenes through history, where they are just getting to know each other and are technically a) strangers and b) hereditary enemies first. Both Aziraphale and Crowley looked at each other on that wall and decided the other is friend shaped and they're gonna be nice to each other.

Crowley is neutral levels of polite with the people he does business with, like Shadwell and the people he meets in the pub to plan the Holy Water heist. He isn't even particularly rude to the Nazis in the church.

Who is Crowley rude to? The paintball guy he scares into a faint at the convent. Like, yeah, that's not polite at all, but, the guy shot him, and yes, it was paintballs, but those things smart something fierce, and Crowley's super stressed out by the whole missing Antichrist trouble. Crowley would easily be able to do much much worse than the demonic equivalent of a jump scare.

Sister Mary doesn't get polite treatment from Crowley, he snaps her into a trance (which, again, might be one of the least terrifying options in a demon's repertoire). He's rude to pedestrians being on the road. Occasionally to Aziraphale. Potentially to Anathema. The accident is kinda both their fault for not looking where they're going, and yes, calling her "book girl" instead of her name isn't super nice, but Crowley isn't nice they weren't introduced properly, were they? He's kinda rude to the fire fighters who inquire whether he's the owner of the burning bookshop, but, yeah, well, you'd yell at them, too, wouldn't you, if they're standing between you and your best friend's burning house?

This is already too long for a random kinda pointless rant, but, just in short, it's kinda the same for Aziraphale? He's friendly to some people, like the sushi chef, rude to others (customers, occasionally Crowley, and that's intimacy, guys, being able to let go with each other and knowing they'll be forgiven). They got range, both of them. They're very human. They aren't always grumpy or always a cinnamon roll. Like for everyone, they get good moods and bad moments where they're snappish. Because they're like humans, and that's what makes them so lovable, isn't it?

#I'm gonna get shit for this aren't I #well #whatever #I'm kinda tired of 'Crowley is rude because he's a demon' and 'Aziraphale is kind because he's an angel' #they can be either and everything in between because they're people #Crowley being polite and kind isn't out of character or making him 'more like an angel' #it's within the range of what we see him be on screen #likewise Aziraphale can have a bad day and not nice #he's allowed and he doesn't have to give up on his angel status for it #okay I'll shut up #sorry #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #politeness #personality #p+a

fic tagged “jason deserves better” and it’s the biggest mischaracterization of jason todd ever

#like thats the jason you made up in your head bby do you ACTUALLY think jason deserves better #or have you taken like the aesthetic made an oc and gone hm he doesn't deserve to be treated this way #(this way being a response to his canon actions that you have erased) #MIND YOU i think jason deserves better from the writers and on occasion from certain batfam members #but like... if you're acting like every wrongdoing he ever did was not rlly him or not his fault or didnt happen #then how do you think he deserves better. thats not jason #fic writers went 'i can fix him' like NO!!! he's perfect as he is a little fucked up a lot menace #let him terrorize people and be a menace to society stop trying to act like he's fundamentally good and well intentioned or whatever the fuc #like morally reprehensible characters are literally more fun youre all cowards #unpopular opinion jason should be portrayed as an antivillain #not an antihero #jason todd #red hood #blabla i understand how fanon works and i enjoy fics fully removed from canon on occassion but like cmooon
