It shouldn't need to be said but I'm seeing a lot of vitriol towards Ashton about their actions and I have to say I don't agree with them.
At the clock tower Fearne brought up the shard, stated that in her opinion Ashton should take the shard because she didn't want it. Ashton decided then as a result they'd take it, but because it was an extreme risk made very aware to them all they knew the other Hells wouldn't allow them to go through with it. Ashton asked Fearne if she was okay with both of them going together alone with the plan, reiterating that they didn't want to put this on Fearne, that if they died Fearne would not be to blame, and that they have no intention of dying, and Fearne said yes.
Fearne having second thoughts at the Ziggurat was just worry, because she cares deeply for Ashton, Ashton kissing her was not manipulation either; it was letting go of fear, having no regret with the person they also care deeply for and taking the risk. And yeah, it was frightening, 10 rounds of perpetual fiery near-death situations and one actual death situation; Laura is fuming, Ashley cannot look, Liam is playing Mad World on loop in his mind, even Matt is completely on edge, but they survived. Accusations that Ashton manipulated Fearne to selfishly take the shard seem to misinterpret the shard saga as well as Fearne and Ashton's characters, they will get a very intense amount of chastising for sure, but it will be out of love, out of the fear that they were going to lose them, not because they thought Ash was manipulative.

i desperately need an episode of just the Bells sitting and talking to each other and checking in and touching base and bonding. both for "i live for that shit" reasons and because the amount of lore drops the last few episodes has left me yelling "MOON?" "HAUNTED?" "CITY?" "MOON CITY?" "RED?" "CAGE GOD EGG?" with increasing fervor and decreasing coherency. my brain was not built for this. i need like 80 minutes of everyone asking each other how they're feeling and in depth 1 on 1 talks and characters Vibing. CR please.

made a ninjago oc but all it wants to do is party
its name is WULFTRAX (all caps) and it’s playing this with zane extra info belooowww
pronouns: IT'S PRONOUNCED WOLF TRACKS LITTLE MAN (it/he/they) species: WULFTRAX. digital? like, it HAS skin, and a skeleton, presumably, just… not a human head. likes: game, rave dislikes: no rave wants: to party character motivation: biggest loudest party backstory: we think it came from prime empire, but that’s all we got. maybe an unused rhythm game dj…? strengths: WULFTRAX does everything at 100%, and it doesn’t tend to stick around after a fight. it isn't fighting to win, it's fighting to go hogwild. on its back are one to six doc ock-like arms made of wire and interwoven with the stuff in season 9 that triggered everyone’s elemental powers. weaknesses: can only attack on the beat, will only fight if there’s music. it’s actually not that strong, its robot arms and machinery do all the fighting. it prefers to fight/party using someone else — elementals party pretty hard, all their colors and glowing and exploding is its favorite. alignment: very chaotic neutral. it does things on impulse and regardless of morals. he doesn’t seem to want to hurt anyone, just wants to party, and if hurting someone is how you gotta party, shrug! you can sway him pretty easily with the promise of a better rave. it’s not that clever, there is no scheming with this thing, but it does somehow get a lot of machinery and builds massive batteries and speakers and light shows
speech conventions: IT TALKS LIKE A FRAT BOY MET A CHRONICALLY ONLINE GAMER. NOT THE MOST COMPLICATED SENTENCES LMAO.
it also yells like everything it says due to the speakers in its mouth. its favorite people to mess with are kai, jay and lloyd. they have the shiniest explodiest powers, and are more split-second competitive.
#WULFTRAX#my art#‘I have made an oc to help/be friends with the ninja’ I have made an oc to fight them. I have made an oc to pummel them#people have done this before HAHDIDBDHDH except WULFTRAX is 1) a horrible fighter and 2) stupid#ninjago#ninjago oc#honestly it’s definitely someone you could/should use as a henchman. He won’t even realize. He will also destroy your lair#and then go OH MY BAD DUDE and that’s the end of that topic. Now it’s in your fridge#the second two images — it wanted to play DDR with jay and then went BRO YOU WANNA HELP WITH THIS SET so now Zane tricked it into -#bargaining to let jay out of the battery and it immediately agreed and then said WE’RE PLAYING OSU and didn’t leave room for argument so#now zane is playing a rhythm game he’s never played to let jay AND KAI out of the batteries and stop the rest of them from dying in#human osu! which was going to be its dance floor (it forgot people die when they’re hit by lightning)#And ALSO now they should probably stop it from holding the most dangerous rave#if the stuff they have is enough to send an elemental into superpowered overdrive it’s probably not healthy for a regular dude#as a meta note.#it’s obsessed w thrillseeking and adrenaline because he’s been alone for so so long that any new sensations are obsession-worthy#obsessed with feeling things and being real. doesn’t know how to regulate its obsession with something bc it has no sense of moderation#its primary purpose is to make big noise big party like programmed into it is its DJ sets. So now it makes the biggest loudest brightest#sets not understanding that this much noise/power can hurt someone or itself bc hurt is in fact an interesting sensation to it#it doesn’t KNOW this or underSTAND it. And it wouldn’t listen if told. BUT! that’s its pathology#IT HAS NO CONCEPT OF DEATH THERE IS NO THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS. THERE IS ONLY DA PORTY#it and porty mk would be besties#rule of cool with this thing. its cars are big its sets are big its music is loud and it’s got a giant flamethrower and a piano to drop#It broke from its programming but that doesn’t mean it broke from its programming yfeel#hrmmm.... yes........ self indulgent shiny loud digital dogmanthing#ill tag three of em theyre getting situations#kai smith#zane julien#jay walker

I will not stay silenced any longer. I really cannot relate to the badass girlboss Yomi truthers crowd. I'm sorry but constantly being so obsessed with proving your prowess and supposed superiority via [gestures at every single time he appeared in the game only to act like an insecure manchild who has to continuously reassert his authority he feels entitled to with continuos self-praise, lashing out with petty insults, violence or even pettier wackier violence] are not the acts of someone who is at all secure and confident in their abilities and themself,

i am so painfully american in so many ways that I never even realized,,, like the Pain. Today I went out with my friends mom who doesn’t speak any english and oh my god was I a deer in the headlights all day. I feel soooo bad, also like she refused to let me pay for anything and gave me sooo much food and drove me around all day. I really don’t know how to thank her enough. I tried to give her a gift and she returned it to me without me even noticing... oh my god. ms. huang.. rlly.... TT thank u also I’m so sorry i’m so painfully timid and awkward
#i've never eaten like.. so many kinds of meat bc like.. yk.. americans only really like the "desireable' parts of the meat. so yea.. also i#have like a fear of swallowing bones.. long story. if u were here u were here for it. if u dont know .. its a Story. but yea so i was like.#this is... a painfully awkward meal. also i dropped my chopsticks TWICEEEEE.. pain. also I've never had shirmp with the head on so she#put one on my plate and i was like... uh.... i dont know how to eat this but I just looked out how the ppl around me did it so i got used t#it.. kinda.... god yea. and then she really kept giving me food but I have a small appetite due to the aforementioned fear of bones thing#it was a spell of disordered eating in hs. left me with a damaged throat and a reduced appetite. not body image related but trauma related#etc. etc.. so yea. i felt so bad. I was so full. she bought me so much. im sooo sorry.... but good news is i wont need to buy food at all#tmrw... and then sometimes she'd ask me a question and I'd legit have no clue how to respond. I;m so used to speaking multiple languages#with my classmates and my roommates so if i ever forget smth i can just use a diferrent language to explain and its.. so much harder to#speak only one language than i thought and hhhhh. also sidenote i COMPLETELY understand why my friend is the way she is... like yea no she#IS her mothers daughter hundred percent.... forceful. kind. not afriad to bargain. overall big appetite for life and yea no.. it makes sooo#much sense... i understand it ALL now...also her little brother is so rude.... god i don't like him. i see why she doesn't like him#like id never blame someone for hating their family but yea no i get it#hhhh so yea.. it was rlly fun but also.. a lot. super super grateful tho.#🐌.txt#also i am so tired.. what not getting enough sleep for a week will do to a mf

Lancer please if you’re still taking requests!
See this one was difficult anon bc I think about him literally nonstop so I have a great many thinks™️ about Lancer ough
Whether this ends up being true or not, Lancer probably grows up believing fully that he is the Prince of Legend, though he doesn’t understand the implications/responsibilities bc he’s like 6. The knight/coup probably happened when he was still little (just growing out of being a toddler) and since the door between the two sections of the dark worlds was sealed, it’s also likely that no one knew of Ralsei’s existence, or couldn’t be certain of his royal status if so since he’s an elusive dude (at the very least Spade didn’t seem to recognize him during the fight).
In that vein, King Spade superimposes that part of the prophecy onto the only “Prince from the Dark” that he knows, and in turn, as he spirals further and further out of control, believes that his son will be the one to aid in the destruction of their world. He makes no secret of this to Lancer, bc kids are malleable, impressionable little fuckers, and hopes that by placing this enormous weight on his shoulders it will manipulate and scare him into complete obedience. 
It...didn’t work (in the long run anyways, probably fucked him right up in the short term though). Probably bc Lancer wasn’t really listening (not his fault, he was trying but it’s like explaining calculus to a 9 year old he is just a little guy). Doesn’t help to have the one person in your life that’s supposed to love you no matter what despise you for crimes you not only didn’t commit, but have no possible way to prevent when the inevitable occurs. 
It’s just easier not to think about it, that is...until it’s too late. And by choosing his friends, he fulfills his role in a destiny that could have possibly been circumvented had King Spade been a better father. (or not. Who knows) 
#I do know he straight up sent his small child out on the front lines to fight his battles for him#which ok fine if he's down with it whatever bowser jr pop off#but the fact that Lancer was all by himself for the first confrontation with the great threat his father had been warning him about#for like years#doesn't sit right with me like hmmm#And Lancer can take care of himself bc he's resourceful and tough#but the more I think about that I get sad bc he had to be in order to survive in that hostile and at times violent environment#I do wanna say though that Lancer choosing not to allow himself to be victimized/used as someone else's bargaining chip/pawn#by openly defying his father in spite of his immense love for him ughh he literally allows everyone to beat the shit out of him#the entire chapter in the name of keeping the peace or maintaining the illusion that it's all just a game and they're having fun#playing 'good vs bad guys' until they approach the castle and the reality of what he's about to have to do hits him too fast#but in the end he takes matters into his own hands and does what he perceives to be the right thing#taking a stand when all the adults in the castle have done literally fuck all to help up until this point#GodDAMN#the most iconic moment in cinematic history#Lancer ilysm you deserve so much peace and rest and love and worms or whatever#deltarune#lancer deltarune#king spade#ask#thanks for stopping by 💜#SORRY FOR WRITING AN APA ESSAY IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN

did something happen with mulaney or is there a joke im missing. i dont use social media like twitter so im out of the loop w/ a lot of things
internet (rightfully imo) goes wild because john mulaney "let dave chappelle make transphobic jokes at his special."
also from my eyes, however, i have seen no examples of the jokes given at the event. and i find it annoying and tiring that mulaney's "teetering-on-the-edge" racist jokes he's made under the guise of a neoliberal persona have evoked radio silence while a vague testimony of transphobia from a different comedian gets mulaney #cancelled and makes pages of actual NEWS. most people never cared to look under the hood until now, even when mulaney's used a blaccent for "comedic effect," made "digestibly" racist jokes for years, and used slurs onstage.
comedians delve into controversial topics a lot, though, and there's FAR worse and bigoted shit out there than mulaney's bits. so i find it worth stating that i don't care about the people involved--i'm focused on the response this has all revoked. the dozen first-hand tweets from the event have all been from white people. chappelle's open transphobia are awful, but a black man's transphobia being held to such a newsworthy standard that it affects the public view of a white guy standing next to him while that same white guy's own racism has never hurt him adds more merit to criticisms of white lgbt people being white first and gay second.

The thing with how I see CIA Two in my head is like. I haven't engagex with any tv or extended canon Gallifrey politics or depictions of this era buy I think it's like. I don't know if it's my belief in the doctor in general or the Draft Dodger projecting or whatever but I think however much they force his hand to work for them and do what they want, the can't entirely control him. He is gonna be a part of things he'd rather not and move them along by supporting but I don't think he would let himself be out in a position of directly violating his personal beliefs or directly harming people more than he finds acceptable. They can control him but they can't control him, y'know.
#not to be a guy who always talks about things through other things but i think 6B Two would be Hawkeye Pierce core.#you can trap a doctor in your war machine but you can't make him respect it. he'll do what he has to in this trapped position#because he believes in fixing timelines for the better and whatnot. he will not stop being individualistic and flipping off the timelord#leadership. and similarly to Hawkeye it's not that hes A Pacifist entirely. he will steal someone's blood for the bit.#he'll deal destruction to daleks!! he'll endanger lives for the good of the whole!#if they ask him to kill? to coup? to supress freedom for petty political interests? he will go Or What. what're ya gonna do? kill me#I'm hlf convinced the give him back Jamie just to have rhe bargaining card of having someone he cares about#he's a gremlin and I think he does have a darker capacity and it will probably pop up more pressed by the CIA#but. look at the doctor's relationship to their Atrocities post time war. it's very much a Because They Thought It's Right#they're willing to do terrible things if they dont have a choice but if its just for the political gratification of the timelords?#and the choice is this or regeneration? cmon theyre gonna flip em off and jump off a cliff backwards and ya know it.#and again Hawkeye 'trapped clown' Pierce. two is going to be So annoying on purpose during missions and fuck up timelord interests#also just like. i think he will do bad thjngs he will be conflicted with! but like in a 12 way goddamit not a WAR INCARNATION way#he IS the doctor and he put meaning into thst title
