smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

#jrwi show #jrwi fanart #jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #made this within a short span of wahtever bc i gotta go up to the mountains for my stupid gay job tonight n im trying #nnot to frrRREAAAK THE FUCK OUUTTTTTTi dont wanna work but. get that bread we fuckin shall i guess #ONWARDS TO THE FISH TORMENT!! sometimes flowers feel pain when you trim them before their blossoming. atleast i imagine so #i used to draw gillion with loooong hair tied into a big ol braid. and then it was confirmed that he had short hair when he was little. #AT FIRST I WAS SAD. but then i realized the duality of. when they were little. gill had short hair. edyn had long hair. #AND NOW THEYRE OLDER. and gillion has long hair. and edyn has short hair #both mirroring eachother. looking up to eachother. subconsciously or not. they most certainly care. and most certainly miss eachother. #GILLION ALWAYS LOVED HOW LONG HAIR LOOKs. atleast i imagine so. he hasnt cut it since he left the undersea. sure he wanted to go back home #but even at the very start. he knew he was free in some way now. free to grow out his hair. an adventure would await him before he returns. #he knew it would be a while. so he cant let this go. he cant let this sought-after hair-length get cut away from him again #not yet. not yet. i like to think he loved music too. I SAW SOMETHING INTERESTING A BIT AGO #i see alot of ppl commenting on my baby gill comics like;'i wouldFIGHT this teacher i wanna KILL EM i want them DESTROYED #all very good and nice sentiments! i LOVE the energy here! and it would be nice. to have that catharsis #but the story of young tidestrider is not a story of catharsis. it is a story of agony and being so so small and so special and also so dum #and sucking so bad. and just being a kid and doing the things that a little kid does and so many tired tired people reacting badly to it #youre supposed to be the hero that will save us. our world hangs in the balance and you are the one who tips the scales. #YOU are supposed to SAVE US!! you NEED to SAVE US! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SQUIRMING IN YOUR STUPID CHAIR!! #you'd think that young tidestrider ought to prevail. and be tucked someplace all safe and sound. #elders gone missing and rotting in a jail. their cultists nowhere around. but theres no happy endings. not here not now. #this tale is all sorrows n woes. you may dream that justice n peace win the day. but thats not how this story goes #BIG ideas for this lil baby gillion series. if anything i make ever gets disproven im killing myself in a well as to poison a water supply

Boyd’s is Find Out by Khai Dreams

#ducktales #dt17 #ducktales 2017 #louyd #ducktales louie #louie duck #ducktales boyd #boyd drake gearloose #tagged as louyd bcuz the songs were originally chosen based on how i think they'd hve crushes on eachother #Crush has a phone motif which is very louie #and some of the lines just have vibes y'know? #Find Out has kinda become my go to ship song lol #i've been thinking about actually doing another louie drawing with that palette.... #it just... i just think it fits a lot of characters lmao #but when i drew this i thought it worked well for boyd so he got it #his was a lot more challenging if i remember correctly #cuz Crush has like an actual irl image as a cover while Find Out just has some simple graphics #so there were a lot less colors to pick from and i had to figure out how to balance them all out properly

Chat and Claw Blanc are rotting my brain, it's a problem. The sketch isn't colored, but they're Blanc I promise lol Two traumatized kitties, no one in Paris to talk to but eachother. It's only marginally healthier than talking to petrified corpses. Maybe they'll stumble into a recovery arc, maybe they'll just make eachother worse, who knows.

#chat blanc #miraculous chat blanc #claw blanc #chat noir #miraculous claw noir #miraculous chat noir #claw noir #miraculous au #Yeah these two became a ship #I have no choice it just happened #If I'm lucky they'll balance eachother out #If I'm lucky

this trope always and forever

#old gays who juxtapose eachother but who compliment eachother #one is harsher and one is softer and they balance eachother out #they complete one another they are whole when they’re together #it’s always bert AND ernie it’s frog AND toad and now it’s bill AND frank #tlou #bill and frank

I just will never understand why the universe didn't make me Josh's tall girlfriend and him my short king. Like life is so unfair.

#we'd balance eachother out #I could grab what he needs on the high shelves #and in return I'd ask for a sweet lil kith

So Steve and Jonathan’s futures and dreams don’t exactly line up with Nancy’s and could end up holding eachother back BUT you know whose dreams do line up with Nancy’s ??? Ms Robin “operation croissant” Buckley.

[seraphemmes]

my take on fukimei dynamic no one asked for beyond just kiana dumb jock fu hua hot nerd and mei mom

ok so they’re divided into three key values (not traits, values) love (the safety and well-being of specific loved ones), duty (allegiance and dedication to an organization or set of ideals), and logic (pragmatism really). this effects their dynamic in a way where if two of them get stuck in a mindset due to one value the third will act as a voice of reason or viceversa.

justifications and thoughts below the cut

mei: love (kiana mostly) and logic (most efficient way to reach goals) but not duty. this girl has NO allegiances beyond her loved ones. she would kill her boss in a heart beat and that’s so slay for her. (see her villain monologue from thunders)

fu hua: logic (effects of action and it’s consequences) and duty (phoenix and all that) but not love. this stems from just how many lifetimes she’s lived. people die, people she loves die, and the best way she can care for them and herself is to stick to her values and be a person to rely on.

kiana: duty (being a kaslana/valkyrie) and love (all the st freya people) but not logic. absolutely zero sense of self preservation on this girl god bless. she’s very smart and could be a tactician if she so chose but immediacy is prioritized over her well being. as long as the burden isn’t on her loved ones or goes against her perceived duties kiana couldn’t care less about going a suboptimal route (see the way she handles literally any core at any point in the story)

it’s important to note that the third value is not missing from them just that prioritizing it would more often than not be more harmful than helpful (mei wouldn’t be able to help kiana in the way she needs, fu hua with so many lifetimes and so many people might crumble under the weight, and kiana, well if kiana didn’t act according to her impulses and things went poorly she’d never forgive herself)

#my artish #hi3 #fukimei #kiana kaslana #fu hua #raiden mei #this has been in my drafts for forever so take it now #this is probably an unreadable mess but like i have a lot of feelings abt them and i’m bad at words #they are all so unwell but in different ways so they can balance eachother out #like idk i’m just tired of seeing kianas the impulsive one and mei and fu hua are the constant voices of reason #when they’ve all made suboptimal choices blinded by their beliefs (and trauma) #fu huas stupid repressed meis codependent and kiana has a martyr complex bigger than the moon she lives on

i love the scooby gang they truly are the blueprint

#theyre so :) #they all love eachother so so much #its not mystery inc if one of them is missing #any one of them! #i love love love them #theyre just friends. best friends. they're a group #their dynamics are balanced out beautifully #4 idiots and their pet dog #I LOVE THEM HAVE I MENTIONED!!!!!!!!

[crypt1dcorv1dae]

No seriously tho I know kurama and Hiei are the Fandom Fave Yaois but like. I cannot see the two of them in a relationship going well. I only like them if it's in the context of polyamory with the others bc like... Yes they know each other well, they're close, they're good friends, but they're both so... So closed off. Even with each other. They're two introverts who will never help push each other out of their shells and would be content to just exist together without ever actually trying to obtain a deeper understanding of eachother or anything. Like they would not talk about things. They would not communicate. Not in the ways that a relationship necessitates.

I don't want em together unless they also have their Two Pet Idiots there too. They need those two and their bombastic emotions to balance them out properly. Without that balance every possible 1-on-1 in the group relationship would implode in on itself like a black hole. Literally no possible monogamous ship between those four would fully work out without some fucking mayhem or disasterous end....... They need each other.

That's how I see it at least :/

#like. yusuke and kuwabara are both too dumb to realize feelings for eachother on their own and actually do something about it #kurama and hiei are both smart enough to realize feelings (tho Hiei would be stuck in denial and repression) but would also not do shit #kurama and kuwabara could coexist peacefully but would get bored #yusuke and hiei would probably destroy the city if left to their own devices without a voice of reason (which kurama and kuwabara provide) #hiei and kuwabara would legitimately probably try to kill eachother eventually over something extremely minor and stupid #yusuke and kurama are probably the closest to a healthy relationship on their own but they would miss their best friends/partners and be sad #ok kurama wouldnt be that sad but still #actually ykno kurama and yusuke would probably also do some serious damage without a voice of reason bc kurama is also fucking crazy #but all four actually balance out pretty well #thats part of what makes them a good team.... a good team can also be a good relationship

I just want the aph nations to fuckin... harmonize man

I want them to just randomly start playing musical instruments and singing together. I want them to be playing completely different instrument, bring in their own special sound and blending it. Like, I want to hear their different unique voices, their own sound, mesh together like a beautiful rainbow. Because if there's one thing other than food that brings all cultures together, it's music.

Y'know those tiktoks where people duet eachother, singing or playing an instrument, and just gradually add, making a song together. I want that for them.

This was an absolute banger guys, I just had to share

#hetalia #hws #music #can they just stop fighting and sing with eachother instead #excuse me while i nerd out about music #the band nerd in me wont shut up about balancing sounds together to make a gorgeous symphony #aph #Youtube
