#Like in hindsight it makes sense

[lovely-hikari-cosplay]

YouTube’s been recommending Danny Phantom clips for some reason, so I drew Sam 🤷🏾‍♀️

Sort of a redraw of this post

#sam manson #danny phantom #Danny Phantom Sam #DP Sam #clip studio pro #clip studio paint #clip studio art #fan art #danny phantom fanart #redraw #Look how my Winx-y/Disney-y style has evolved in 5 years #It’s sorta my go to I LOVE drawing this eye shape #Imagine my shock going into the YT comments and seeing that Sam is a polarizing character in the DP fandom #Like in hindsight it makes sense #Shes written a little wonky and her relationship with Danny while cute could’ve had even greater buildup imo #I didn’t remember her being so defensive of her herself and Danny in S1 #Then again literally only Dan Phantom Plant Sam and Phantom Planet live in my head rent free #And I didn’t really like how Sam was written in Phantom Planet either #but I still love her she’s a cool character just not super well written at times #Kinda like Ulrich upon rewatching CL 🫢🫢🫢

There is an odd sort of desperation in trying to make up for being an awful, critical, abusive, shitty teenaged caregiver by being patient and careful and better when you're all grown up

Like

I was a kid, and it shouldn't have been my job to be a good dad for you, but it was my job, and I fucked up, and I wish that you'd tell me you hate me for it because then at least I'd know you understand that you deserved better

And maybe if you could hate the person who I was, I'd know you'd be safe from it happening again, now that this better version of me isn't always close

#I was their favourite for a long time #Till things got worse and I couldn't keep it up #And in hindsight it made sense #Objectively I was doing my best with what I had #But that doesn't make it better for you #It never should have been like that #Blegh #Sorry #Venting #Abuse CW #Messed up families

sorry the quality isn't the best, but i wanted to torture myself with zoomed in shots of Crosshair's expressions while Omega is trying to convince him of her recapture/Tantiss plan. 🥺(S3 E11)

#crosshair #the bad batch #he looks horrified and terrified and like he's literally in pain #and i think he's trying desperately to poke holes in her plan even though he probably already knows it's their best shot #in hindsight it makes SO much sense #this poor man fears Tantiss like nothing else and now Omega wants to go back there. which also means he'll have to go back there and...god #no wonder he's freaking the fuck out #on her behalf and his own #star wars #R&Rgif #OUCH FEELS

I can't help but feel like not enough people talk about Maruki having a canon spiteful side despite his usual kind demeanor.

Like the man talked in detail about how he learned that his ex-professor worked for Shido and was part of the reason his research was stolen like something was gonna happen and then just goes, "Oh, I'm still here out of spite, nothing else! :)"

Like god damn! Bro was unexpectedly snarky but I loved it! We need a bit more of this there! Gimme more of this content and discussions! Just... Sir... SIR! O/////O

#persona 5 #p5 #persona 5 royal #p5r #p5r spoilers #starchild rambles #takuto maruki #p5r maruki #dr maruki #maruki takuto #rambles #ramblings #kinda makes my characterization of him as a PT fitting in hindsight #just snarky but also kinda mad scientist like if that makes sense? Kinda hard to explain

I know I've said something similar before but like.

People are all "uwu we shouldn't let kids do hormone blockers or have surgeries because children can't consent to that!" and like. Aside from the fact that no one is doing gender affirming procedures on kids.

I would be willing to bet my left tit that these are the EXACT same fucks who would have given me shit from middle to high school and into college about getting laser hair removal, about my voice change from a soprano to an alto (not severe but noticeable, as I was a singer), who said I should amputate my healthy stomach so I could be more thin and "ladylike", who gave me ENDLESS shit for my body hair, including facial hair, who demanded I shave and pluck and squeeze myself into clothes and an image that didn't fit me and who ENCOURAGED me to take medications and have procedures that would permanently alter (and in the case of weight loss surgery? Damage, most likely) my body to fit what THEY thought I should be.

All because I have PCOS. My body is not what people expect of a cis woman's body.

Gee. It's almost like it has nothing to do with kids not consenting, and EVERYTHING to do with these chucklefucks wanting to deny trans kids access to life-saving care AND wanting to force intersex kids into medical treatment that they, by their own logic, cannot consent to.

But that's all fine when they're making us intersex folks "normal", huh?

#queer #trans #intersex #yeah the more I learn about PCOS and being intersex #the more parts of my own experience make a lot of sense #and the more fucking ANGRY i get about it #like I am someone who is actively transitioning to have a non-normative body #and someone who also has ALWAYS had a non-normative body in a lot of ways #and im just #a little absolutely fucking livid #transphobia #exorsexism #fucking FUCK #and like I'm not cis anymore #but i fucking WAS i was a girl for most of my life #and this shit impacted me a lot more than I thought in hindsight

watching this play out over the last couple of years has been incredible

#they really are just. weird kids friend group. #it’s all very poetic #and a little bit hilarious like okayy mr phd sit down😭 #maybe they’ll confirm/go more in depth about the gang’s neuroses next season #canon autistic charlie u will be mine.. #but fr nothing has made me feel as seen as finding out they’re just like me :( #and ofc it makes so much sense in hindsight that the show would attract a neurodivergent audience #but i didnt know that when i first started getting into this show as a way to cope with my late diagnoses #like what do u mean i wasn’t just projecting? #sorry for using tags as a diary it will happen again

Ok no I'm still not over Nintendo being like "We can't show the title of BOTW2 it's spoilers" and then they come out with VAGUE ASS "Tears Of The Kingdom" as if we'd all have a eureka moment like... this tells me nothing besties

#fires posts #ramblings #tears of the kingdom #totk #is it going to be like a Link's Awakening scenario where the title makes sense in hindsight? #anyway I think Nintendo were bullshitting #they just didn't have a name yet

i know it’s been years and it’s basically irrelevant now but i genuinely love the green ninja prophecy if only for how much it must have tortured wu and garmadon. how long have they known it!! how did they find it, this script dooming them to forever be on opposing sides!! by the time morro rolls around, wu's spent most of his adult life with this looming over his head - this threat that there's some great evil out there that even their father didn't prevent, and then his brother leaves and adopts the very title that the prophecy foretold against. and then a ridiculously powerful elemental practically falls into his lap, with an uncanny command of his element without even unlocking his true potential, and with another threat already on the horizon (the serpentine) and the rest scattered (not to be brought together until years later), that was all he could do. it's been at minimum decades, at most centuries of the two of them having to carry this burden over their heads - of garmadon succumbing and of this unknown dark lord attacking. when do you think they made the connection. the wrong connection sure, but it makes sense. and it makes sense that years later, after wu is proven wrong and his brother returns to him and his son leaves him, and after his brother threatens to leave him again, he'd work backwards. collect the elementals, rebuild what he can of an alliance, and hope he's proven wrong again. and then kai steals his bag by accident and the rest is history.

#text✨ #ninjago #is normal (is thinking about ninjago season one in TWENTY TWENTY THREE) #sorry yeah this is just building on/restating the last post i just made however: wu is fascinating #and these brothers are SO fucked up i love exploring it. this is w/o my personal hcs for how this whole thing shaked out bc THOSE #are being saved for a fic for my spinjitzu bros collection. #hot damn do i need to read those books. they torment me (the brothers spinjitzu doomed from unknown mystical creation) #whether or not the prophecy is well used or makes sense in hindsight i love it as a plot device. hell yeah hang over those demigods heads #like a noose. hell yeah tragically shape the entire narrative and the lives of entire families just bc people don't know how to reach. just #bc they made the wrong assumption and got their child killed. just bc they wanted so badly to be important and almost got their #soon-to-be brother killed. this thing is a fire hazard

I’ve seen a handful of people in the Naruto fandom complain about Naruto using force or threatening to use force on Sasuke in an attempt to bring him back to Konoha and I want to talk about it. Not to complain about the fandom again or to discuss my thoughts on the argument, don’t worry. I just want to point out that the story actually agrees with this sentiment.

(As a quick aside/reminder, most major fights double as the characters involved having a conversation/debate and all of Naruto and Sasuke’s are meant to be visual representatives of their beliefs/perspectives/goals clashing and shouldn’t be taken literally.)

Naruto first goes after Sasuke at the end of part 1 and attempts to drag him back to Konoha by force. He doesn’t understand Sasuke’s motives at all, he nearly dies, and, more importantly, he fails his mission. He tries to bring Sasuke back again at the start of shippuden, this time by convincing him, but he fails to listen to/understand Sasuke’s motives and subsequently fails to bring Sasuke back. (Side note: Naruto attempts to find Sasuke by chasing Itachi, but how he intends to bring Sasuke back is unclear so I can’t say much here.) Then the Pain arc happens where two important things happen: 1. Jiraiya, Kakashi, and many of the other people he knows and loves die and his home gets destroyed. 2. He learns to use his empathy/emotional intelligence consciously and put effort into understanding the motivations of his opponents. Basically, he has a personal point of comparison to Sasuke’s backstory/motivations and he starts putting effort into truly understanding Sasuke. The next, and last, time Naruto tries to bring Sasuke back to Konoha is at the end of Shippuden. The two of them fight, Naruto fully understands why Sasuke is doing what he’s doing even if he doesn’t agree with it, and only then does Naruto succeed in his mission when Sasuke returns to Konoha of his own free will.

The series doesn’t blatantly state it, but it very clearly paints Naruto’s attempts to force Sasuke back as the wrong decision that doesn’t work. His attempts are proof that he doesn’t understand Sasuke and still has a lot to learn. The series is about people coming together through understanding so it makes sense that Naruto and Sasuke’s relationship only gets mended after the two finally reach an understanding.

#naruto #naruto shippuden #naruto uzumaki #sasuke uchiha #my stooff #naruto analysis #analysis #team seven #team 7 #you don’t have to like or even agree with how their conflict is resolved #but their resolution makes sense #though I’d still argue it could’ve been executed better #but some of that might just be the hindsight talking #Another addition to my series: I promise I like Naruto

the mask that Light Yagami slathers on while he's in public feels like it was the result of asking someone who had been isolated in a bricked-off room for several years with nothing but a TV and a collection of Afterschool specials to build a person completely from scratch. he reads like a vague imitation of a human being that's been zipped into a pretty boy skin suit. "believe it or not, Ryuk, I'm actually a pretty popular guy-" I don't fucking know how, man. easily the most impressive thing that he ever managed to achieve, and yes, that includes his Almost Successful attempt at world domination.

#when you're a teenager in 2006 and also a mass murderer and also autistic #I haven't read the manga yet but I have heard that apparently after Light was discovered to be Kira it wasn't made public info? #but! if it Had Been. #you can't tell me that some of his old classmates wouldn't have been like 'y'know actually yeah that makes sense with hindsight.' #death note #light yagami #anime #cloey talks dn #dn live blog #mine

no chapter today but soon(tm), i just had to get this out of my head;;

#you can tell i was too lazy to draw his boots #but you also can't tell me he wouldn't train barefoot #morax medium size for comparison #i like to think the size morax was shown in the moonchase festival cutscene is canon #which would imply morax can just change sizes at will #which is perfectly plausible given the man can shapeshift into whatever he wants #so turning into different sizes of his original form for convenience's sake makes sense #hence why the exuvia in-game is so.... small... #bc for those who haven't seen or don't remember moonchase #morax is like... bigger than the harbor.................. #which in hindsight makes total sense given osial was also fucking huge #anyway #last chapter's jellyfish and next chapter's seahorse #along w the classic narwhal #does that count as a spoiler? #i also have skirk's design ready but i kinda put her in the same canvas as someone elese and i think it's best i wait till they show up #ngl since i can never get a clear image of skirk in my head i don't always envision her with the design i made #it only happens with skirk #which is funny and i guess very fitting #so uh #yeah #hope you enjoyed these childes #genshin impact #should prob start actually tagging these things #.png #.png fic #.png cyanide

I think I remember you majoring in German and wanted to ask do you recommend learning it? I’m trying to decide which foreign language I should take.

it’s my minor but yes !! ofc it’s relative to your native language but for an english speaker i think german is v easy and intuitive. i think ppl freak out bc of the whole gender article thing but tbh it just becomes second nature after hearing a word a bunch. you’ll just instantly go hmmm yeah der Feels right JEKRKDK. also the length of words really isn’t that bad to pronounce it’s a very phonetic language

#but also i think it’s important to consider how useful the language you pick is gonna be in the field you’re going into #or where you live djrkfkfkw #in hindsight it makes more sense for me to have picked spanish but alas. i was 14 and just picked a random language #then the autism latched onto it like a leech and here we are #asks #anon

Sandstorm dying solely to further alderheart’s pissbaby manpain made me so upset. alderheart in general just pisses me off… him and tree were both just so blatantly written to steal the arc from their she-cat counterparts lmfao (sparkpelt, sandstorm, needletail, violetshine). that’s it, that’s their purpose… similar to rootspring and nightheart. I just can’t enjoy characters whose purpose narratively is to shove the she-cats to the wayside… it happens so much in this series already

yeah 😔 it's the repetition of the archetype and the context around it that gets me- on his own, alderheart is just "guy i don't really care about", same with rootspring and tree, but the more i sit down and think "hm, why are the male characters in the series written this way and the female characters written this way? why are events ordered in a way that constantly shifts attention and sympathy back towards the male characters?" i start to get mad about lots of little tiny details, which in turn make egregious things like "arc 1 legacy character getting unceremoniously fridged by dying in a ditch somewhere for a pittance of character development her boring grandson while all of her male counterparts get comparatively way more respectful or impactful deaths" even worse somehow.

#it's also so tiring to me that when male characters are boring they are given heaps of fanon that make them sweet and memorable #but when female characters are underwritten that side of the fandom is just like 'yup she's boring! i hate her. ignoring her' #i understand that there are few genuinely well-written male characters to latch onto in the series #but people do it with every single male character regardless anyways so it's not like that even matters #i liked a lot of generic niceboy characters when i first joined the fandom but in hindsight it was all just fanon and a sense of obligation #'yeah of course i have to like alderheart and fernsong! they're good soft boys! crowfeather is a funny pathetic guy!' #nowadays i couldnt care less if alderheart and fernsong etc died in a tragic sudden minecraft creeper explosion offscreen #and im actively manifesting that it happen to crowfeather

Questioning NPD culture is am i really a narcissist or just finding cheap execuses to my bad habits? Am i too nice to be a narcissist? Does my superiority comes from narcissism or i am just a really egocentrical person? Did i ever had a narc crash or narc high? Did my possible narcissism even affect my life or am attention seeking? Questions i'll never have the answer

.

#fun fact anon. i just learned the terms narc high narc crash and narc supply like a week ago lmao #but on hindsight they do make sense with my experiences #just use the label as long as it fits pal #and if it ends up not fitting anymore you can drop it #no big deal #i did so with a few labels until was fully sure which fit me #gl anon #npd #npd culture #npd culture is #questioning npd culture is #narcissistic personality disorder #actually narcissistic #narcissism #narcissist #narcissistic #npd safe #actually npd #cluster b #cluster b safe #actually cluster b #cluster b personality disorder #anon #ask #asks
