#They're each other's better half

[azurecanary]

To get my one complaint out of the way:

The Young Avengers were not formed because "Hey there are multiple superheroes under the age of thirty"

They were formed because the Avengers were literally destroyed, and New York needed heroes

It was not this after school club

It was "there's so much villainy going on in this city, and Kang the fucking Conqueror is coming in three days. we are the only people with some link to the Avengers therefore we must stop this"

Eli became Patriot to honour his grandfather and fight crime

Teddy became Hulkling to protect people and figure out his identity

Billy became Asgardian/Wiccan to stand up for the little guy and to honour the Scarlet Witch

Kate became Hawkeye to beat up bad people and save the people with powers

Cassie became Stature to honour her father and carry on his legacy

Nathaniel became Iron Lad as an attempt to stop his evil future from coming to pass

Vision became a Young Avengers to honour Nathaniel and the original Vision

Tommy became Speed to right his wrongs

It was never "you're under thirty, I'm under thirty, wanna team up?"

#half the team didn't even LIKE each other at first #they just had to work together #also it would've been so much better if Kamala recruited Riri instead #y'know because they're the same age and led the same team #but instead they went with Kate who's almost a decade older and only met Kamala once in the comics #make it make sense feige #young avengers #eli bradley #patriot #teddy altman #hulkling #billy kaplan #wiccan #kate bishop #hawkeye #cassie lang #stature #jonas vision #tommy shepherd #speed #the marvels spoilers #mcu #the marvels

We don't talk enough about how well ALL of the Vees know and care about each other so much, like--

We first see them when Velvette is calling Vox about Val being upset in ep 2, but there's no way he would have asked for the help himself. Like he's not gonna be like "hey get Vox for me I need him" because that seems too vulnerable, BUT he was expecting Vox to come.

He literally says "Fuckin' finally!"

Which would either mean that Velvette told him Vox is on his way, OR Val knew Velvette would tell Vox to come. (It is possible he expected it because of the cameras, but Vox didn't seem to know Val was throwing a tantrum until Velvette called him, and Vox's plan for the day seemed to involve multiple meetings, so I don't think he watches the cameras often enough for that.)

Also Velvette knew how to calm Valentino down. She was busy with a fashion show and needed to focus on that, and she was mad that Val was wrecking her shit, but even after he was out of her hair and not a problem to her, she repeated to Vox that he needs to go take care of Val.

"Take care of the piss baby!"

I 100% believe she could have done it herself (she probably did partly?? considering he stopped the tantrum and was in his room before Vox got there-- unless her telling Val that Vox was on his way was what did it, but that would still be something she knew to do), but she had a show to run. Still, she wasn't going to leave Val alone to be moping around.

Also the fact Valentino seems to have some level of control over his smoke implies he wanted to be dramatic as fuck or wanted to hide himself and sat in a cloud of smoke on purpose.

Vox obviously knows how to talk Val out of shit, and canon makes it more clear that he understands Val well.

But overall there's obvious intimacy between all three of the Vees in that they care for each other and know exactly what's needed and/or what will happen in situations like that.

#the vees #valentino #vox #velvette #hazbin hotel #like seriously if Velvette's goal was only to get Val to stop wrecking shit she would have brushed Vox off when he got there #Val wasn't fucking anything up anymore #BUT she knew he wasn't feeling better so she told Vox to go up there #(more like she ordered him around lmao) #and obviously Vox canceled his appointments to go take care of Val instead #which Velvette couldn't easily do with a show because if you're putting on a show in about 15 minutes or however close it was #that meant people paid and were waiting for it and canceling would make them lose money #Vox didn't seem to have urgent appointments though #and like Velvette KNEW Vox would go help Val #they're all so perfect for each other please #also this is why Velvette as the 'daughter' of the other Vees makes no fucking sense because #why would you tell a parental figure 'fuck you' and refer to the other parental figure as a 'piss baby' #be serious 😭 #Val is the child actually #(half joking) #posts by 📲

lmao i know it’s 2 seasons later but it just occurred to me: what if, at the beginning of s1, instead of deciding his funeral was the best way to get everyone back in one place, reginald decided to have a wedding instead

not only do we get the entertaining side-plot of this poor person reginald has bribed/blackmailed/begged to marry him For The Con, but the only reason any of the kids show up is because they got a wedding invite and immediately went “oh now this i gotta see”

#the episode is titled ''we only see each other at WEDDINGS and FUNERALS'' #i'm just saying it could have gone the other way #the umbrella academy #half the kids are there to check in with their new stepparent and make sure they're there of their own free will #''idk what he told you but you don't have to do this. say the word and i'll get you out of here'' #''no i promise i. definitely....want to...be here :) :) '' #i can't decide if it's funnier if five knew because time travel and he's already had time to adjust to this concept #so is perfectly polite and accommodating if slightly confused because the personality he built for them in his head isn't accurate #while the rest of them are going through the 5 stages of grief over discovering their dad is capable of romance #or if through some time fuckery five came from a timeline where he saw the news that reginald is dead #and then drops into the timeline in the middle of a fucking wedding and is COMPLETELY blindsided by this #but doesn't have time to deal with this shit #somehow THIS is the timeline where they do manage to prevent the apocalypse #and at the end of everything the new stepparent divorces the fuck out of reginald ASAP because holy shit they were not paid enough for this #and yet they're like ''well i did what you asked (even if you didn't mention the LOOMING APOCALYPSE) #but holy shit i'm taking these kids in the divorce because what the fuck dude what the FUCK. idc if they're all adults #they need a better family and now i'm obligated to be that for them'' #and reginald was playing fast and loose because of the LOOMING APOCALYPSE and didn't sign a prenup #so the new stepparent gets the academy (the property AND the actual kids) and reginald has to move out and live on the streets #tua meta

So about that bloodline

The only thing that kept me going was knowing you were here.

#bcsedit #better call saul #mcwexler #jimmy x kim #kim wexler #jimmy mcgill #been seeing a lot of people saying that they don't deserve a happy ending after everything and though i get why that's being said #i disagree with the idea that they must be punished by the narrative in the form of an absolutely devastating end where they both die or #are broken down even further because they're Bad People and they Deserve It...their relationship is the heart of the show and #i don't believe that the writers spent over half a decade building this relationship up just to leave everything hanging in the balance #we can argue all day about jimmy and kim being Good or Bad but they love each other. they do. and bcs is a love story #do i believe that they're going to live happily ever after and get a fairytale ending? no of course not but i don't see a doom and gloom end #for them either. narratively speaking jimmy has been in prison all this time and who knows what kim has been up to all this time #i just don't think it would be narratively satisfying if the ending was about punishing them i really don't #i think it's going to be bittersweet for sure but there's no doubt in my mind that it'll be full of heart.... #but god all of the takes about jimmy not deserving to meet up with kim in the gene timeline are just making me root for it even harder #and i really hope the world turns back to color the moment he sees her and idc how many people think it's cheesy <3 #and you know what someday maybe they'll finally get their house. #mine

disney princess steve harrington except it's set in regular old hawkins and robin somehow got turned into a Robin so he's just chanting "boobies" at this bird that keeps pecking him

#steve harrington #robin buckley #platonic stobin #at one point robin thinks it would be funny if she mama birds him and spits a half chewed seed in his mouth #steve screams #of course the cure is true loves kiss #and steve lays a gentle little peck on bird robin's head and BOOM they're crying in each other's arms bc why didn't they try that before #possible eddie munson screaming crying in the background bc how is steve harrington conversing with birds #and then robin starts chirping along to steve's rendition of total eclipse of the heart #eddie is like i've never heard of a princess who sounds like kermit the frog but somehow this is better

in my mind they'd be besties specifically little brother older sister coded and their team name would be ghost petals

#honestly ruby and danny vibing w each other makes sense bc they're literally both teen heroes who are shaped by their grief #and are fighting to make the world better for everyone in spite of everything #also when you think abt danny meeting ruby is just him becoming friends w another goth girl besides sam except this time #she's strawberry flavored lol #that's not even mentioning how i would argue danny is v much similar to yang in some ways character wise #so ik ruby would picking up on the similar vibes btwn him and her #also they both have an older sister who they care alot for help them out and has eldest daugther trauma from having been parentified #ruby @ danny when she meets him: who is this gay little dude? i fuck heavily w him #also danny is basically like oscar to me in the sense he's a green coded character that has parallels/mirrors ruby's character #smth smth danny and oscar having the whole complicated relationship w your body #oscar the man w 2 souls thing bc of ozpin and w danny it's the whole being dead thing and a half ghost #danny phantom #rwby #robi rambles

The only timkon dynamic I will accept is Conner looking at Tim who is bossy, deeply damaged and unhinged and who only gives a vague half-fuck over little things like legality and what people tell him and being like “babe you are the messiest dude I have ever met but, god knows why, I trust you with my life and my heart because whatever is wrong with you is incredibly sexy.”

Meanwhile Tim is looking at Conner who is wearing bedazzled jorts, a crop top and fringe jacket that says baby slut on the back who is arguing that as a clone who’s barely 5, he should qualify for the under 10 discount at Denny’s because he needs to feel some emotion at 2:47 in the morning and thinking “this is literally the most embarrassing and ridiculous human shaped person I have ever met but he has seen me go off the rails so many times he just buckles in and rides it out and also we have established abandoned anxious child to abandoned anxious child communication and it would take too long to break another boyfriend in so I guess I need to marry him and shit”

And I will literally not take anything else, thank you and goodnight. 

#timkon #I want them to have the healthiest most loving relationship possible in the most weird and fucked up way possible #seperately they have so many problems #and sort of fall together at the beginning in a rush of not knowing what else to do #but slowly learn to heal bouncing their love and assurance for each other back and forth until they become better people #but at the same time holding each other close and being like 'there is something so messed up about you but I kinda dig it bc I'm messed up #Tim being manic is gotham and Kon is just like damn thats hot #Kon is being his usual flamboyant self and Tim is like well I can't NOT fuck him #and no one understands them or their dynamic but its cool #they got each other and even tho neither will ever be normal #they can find happiness with someone who *understands* #this post is half sap/half crack bc they're ridiculous but I have so many strong feelings about their love #i want to like Timber I honest to god do but Im so mentally ill for timkon I just cant

*wheeze* slowly, but surely, working on art of them all

#bg3 #myart #wip #I want to make every tav/companion pairing I have a dedicated. fancy piece. #these started with a concept for a wyll drawing that was very...storybook! inspired. #I would have been done all the linework for these two pieces by now had my weekend gone better :/ #I was violently unwell for...about a week and a half? chronic illness bullshit. had started to feel better friday of last week... #...unfortunately fate had it that the weekend ended up being particularly stressful. so the pain returned anew. #it was. somewhat better today. but still not enough for me to really be productive in my free time :( #I will try to complete the linework tomorrow if all goes well. I really would like to start colouring them! #I have delightful colour schemes chosen... #gale/illamin piece has already been sketched in a notebook. once I finish these two- I will begin lining theirs! #illamin's connects to cadence's because they're intertwined like that. but I have yet to finish planning out cadence's piece. #I've gone back and forth on who I should romance with him...the thing with any of the companions is that they are all written to be- #-immensely compatible with each other. so writing a tav FOR a specific companion is a bit hard. often the tav could fit with any of them. #hell. I'm STILL working out details of jantar and corydalis' story & characters. because I can't be normal about this. #that aside- I DO have other. finished pieces...finally. #well. I had some long before... but I didn't want to post them because I wasn't happy with them. #so I went and finished new stuff that I DO like. #4. technically 5 drawings. all horror/horror adjacent in theme. #my extremely detailed hux painting is also NEARLY done. after months upon months of work. #and I continue to slowly chip away at the big scifi themed dbd piece I've had in progress. #I really never run out of things to draw and it's a bit torturous because I never have the time or energy to draw everything...

So I've reached Day of the Black Sun and I feel like I need to ask...Why exactly is Sokka x Zuko the most popular ship? I'm halfway through Book 3 and they have never interacted even once, like? I'm literally losing my mind knowing how many of you ship this when there is NOTHING there, I know tumblr can make a slash ship out of nothing but a few crumbs but this is a whole new level of collective hallucination.

#avatar the last airbender #zukka #anti zukka #at this point i'm fully expecting them to end the show never having said two words to each other #and like there's nothing wrong with crackships but they're also not usually THAT popular #i'm genuinely so puzzled by this #maybe the second half of book 3 will make it make sense tho who knows #it's still wild that something that just straight up does not exist throughout most of the show's run would get that popular #they better make out with tongue to justify all this fuss is all i'm saying

I got Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen volume 3 a little early and guys.... GUYS!! THIS is what Kitchen in English should be like! 💥💝💖

If you like Orufrey, you have got to get volume 3!

#I don't know if the homophobic supervisor or whoever got moved to another project or what... BUT THANK YOU! 💝💝💝 #FINALLY! SOME GOOD FOOD! #I mean I am still side-eyeing the end of chapter 30 because Olruggio's line Should be about how they're finally living under the same roof. #BUT OH MY GOD what a difference everything else makes #They mention alcohol! They admit the loop chalices are usually for wine!! #The word choices for how delicious the food is is so great! #I'm gonna have to look up wtf the bananas are named after but aside from that!!! #Qifrey and Olruggio can actually say each others names and they're so friggin adorable!!! 😤💝 Mr I can go all day!! #I'm so happy ya'll I can't believe it 😭💝 #I feel so hopeful for volume 4 now #Also I'm half-way wondering if maybe they could revisit the translations for volumes 1 and 2 and maybe release an updated version maybe? #because I would absolutely buy those again if it were less censored and had better word choices. Just putting it out there! ❤ #Like maybe after volume 5 do a box-set with a little bonus item maybe and secretly slide-in the more accurate and better translated version #I'd buy it! I'd be first in line!! #Just sayin! #Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen #Witch Hat Kitchen #Orufrey #Witch Hat Atelier #Also there's some REALLY cute moments with the girls #(I say; as a total afterthought; sorry I'm so transparent lmao) #Jade talks WHA

fontaines archon quest is probably the first time in genshin that replaying it gives you a new context of how furina acts like its crazy...watching my oomf play when i finished and seeing furina almost on the verge on a breakdown even on the first acts when most people thought she was just the typical chuniibyou ojousama in charge...crazy.

YEAH like... god it's really crazy especially with furina's initial approach at trying to be the archon like... What could have been her own way of doing it if the crowd hadn't immediately shot down her attempt at being genuine . Like how different that was from the way she had to act for the following 500 years... Man.🧍‍♂️

#asks #anonymous #they really have come a long way from the first few arcs #like. mondstadt was clearly a prelude and liyue was funny enough but neither of them was especially emotionally impactful #inazuma sucked ass beyond belief sorry. #sumeru was better to me like the deal with nahida and rukkhadevata was interesting and i liked dottore cameo and like #at least it felt like all the characters involved like. had a purpose and knew each other #because a lot of what bothered me about inazuma was also like how disjointed the cast felt and how superfluous like half of the cast was #like the resistance was so fucking pointless they didn't do anything and i didn't give a fuck about the random npc soldier either #while like... at least dunyarzad in sumeru was more interesting and they handled the theme of like... #terminal illness and chronic illness decently enough #in inazuma i legit wws like who the fuck is this again whenever teppei showed up and the story acted like we were supposed to know him #while like #I'm sooo glad that in fontaine they focused mainly on the playable cast and made them have interesting dynamics amongst each other #AND made them also like. all be present during furina's trial (except wrio and sigewinne i guess but like. that's fine. their deal IS that #they're a bit isolated from the outside world) #or i mean ig sigewinne did show up but she hsrdly said much #like sorry idk why both in inazuma and sumeru they tried to stick a random npc in there tyat we were supposed to get attached to for no #reason. instead of giving more development to the playable characters? and as i said i didn't even mine dunyarzad much because at least #she had like. a purpose in the story. #anyway sorry that i put my longer response in the tag instead of the actual post #ALSO. this gives me high hopes for snezhnaya. god please please be good I've been hyped about genshin russia since i got into the game #I'm not even thinking about natlan I'm scared it's gonna be racist again #anyway. #bye

I see a few people complaining about the fact that in the AMC show, Louis is an active participant in Lestat’s demise, rather than a passive witness like in the original source material. But he actually puts Lestat in his coffin?? That’s the One Request Lestat gives (in the movie and book) that Claudia and Louis  just ignore (which is doubly confirmed by Lestat’s POV in the books). A request, really a dying wish, Lestat gives in the vain hope it will help restore him, a goal neither Claudia nor Louis are eager to help him with. In fact, in the movie, Claudia mockingly says “I’ll put you in your coffin!” before proceeding to slit Lestat’s throat with a knife. And afterwards, though he’s visibly conflicted, Louis helps Claudia dispose of Lestat’s body in the way she wishes -- whereas in the show, Louis is immediately so distraught, he cannot allow Lestat’s body to be maimed any further by either himself or Claudia.  

As Daniel in the show points out, whether it was a consciously or subconsciously driven decision, Louis putting Lestat’s body in a coffin with the locks inside in a dump full of rats saves/would have theoretically saved Lestat (an action which tracks with how many Louis’ interactions with Lestat in the show Are instinctual, irrational, and seemingly counter to his best self interests). Louis saves Lestat from what would have been his certain end, otherwise. Also, Louis’ active role in Lestat’s (almost) death gives Louis infinitely more agency, and his guilt over it as a result will be So Much more juicy and personal.

Song of the Day: December 23

"Agamemnon" by The Teacups

#song of the day #the song's about the British warship not the douchebag king of Mycenae don't worry #it's such a fun song to sing and I really wish I could :( #I'm feeling a lot better but I'm still sleeping more than half each day away (and all loggy even when I'm awake) and I can't sing :(( #(I did burst an eardrum. I was so sure I hadn't! that's not what's keeping me from singing though I just literally don't have the voice) #anyway anyway that's not important the real question is: how many of the next few songs of the day are going to be in alphabetical order? #I'm going through my playlist of songs where they're the only songs I have by that particular artist #(no shade to the Teacups. it's not that I don't like any of their other songs it's that I've never heard anything else by them #that's part of what I'm doing now as I play through the songs! it'll be a fun project to keep me occupied over winter break) #and since this playlist is several days long and in alphabetical order I'm curious to see if the songs of the day will match up #or if it'll still be random songs from the depths of my mind and this'll be the only one off the playlist directly #an exciting mini-experiment!
