“Smile like Gonta! Smile like gentleman!”

It’s 23rd of January both where I am, and also in Japan, so here we go, my small and long overdue tribute for my fav character ever! Or in other words, f that post and happy birthday to the King! :D

#gonta gokuhara #gokuhara gonta #danganronpa #v3 #ndrv3 #my art #now I go to sleep - I pushed myself to finish this drawing and I'm legit exhausted #wish I could have more time to do tweaks here and ther but... still I'm happy I managed to do it! #But honestly I’m happy I’ve got to play V3 when I did and legit glad I stumbled upon Gonta #I could write a book about him but then I'm also afraid no matter what I'll say I will never do him justice #he's interesting in nonconventional way and not the type of character I usually end up liking - and tbh that only adds to my appreciation #but then I'm better with drawings than words. so :) #also #pregame Gonta is smiling on the inside he just shy grump don't mind him #(or maybe he's like 'you have ONE second to run' idk) #also also #yes this is a little play on the line Gonta says during Himiko's dojo scene :D

actually I should probably go in order so I don't lose track of what I have and haven't asked about yet, huh? so back up at the top: number 2 adopt a jock!

IGHT heeeere is more adopt a jock!

Thankfully I have a lot of this one written its just all scenes lmao

No guarantee this stays in or where it'll end up buuuuuut:

Snippet:

Gareth had left his jacket in the drama room. 

Unwilling to go all the way around to use the door’s they usually did, instead opting for one of the stage’s side doors. 

Which put him at what happened to be the best angle to watch Eddie’s pet mean girl put his face in their fearless leader’s hands. 

Like he really was some kind of tamed pet.

Gareth froze, barely daring to breathe as Eddie stroked his thumbs along Steve’s cheeks. “You’re okay sweetheart.” He murmured. “It’s just me.” 

“I know.” Steve responded, and his voice was so full of pain Gareth’s eyes grew dinner plate wide. “I just--I--” He choked on air, chest rising and falling too fast. 

Panic attack, Gareth identified immediately. He himself got them sometimes, as did Tiff and Eddie. Perks of being a loser in a small town, where people could and would pick you out of a crowd. 

“Breathe.” Eddie commanded, tone so sweet it gave Gareth chills just hearing it. He was stumbling on something private here, something he had never expected. 

If he interrupted, Eddie would murder him. 

“Take your time, I’m not going anywhere.” The metalhead murmured. 

Steve made a wounded noise, and Gareth could practically see the exclamation point appear over Eddie's head. 

“I mean it. I won’t leave you.” 

“How do I know you’re not just saying that?” Steve choked out. 

Eddie stayed silent for a moment and Gareth  but then he was reaching into his shirt and pulling out his necklace. Taking it off his neck and putting it on Steve’s. 

“This was my mother’s guitar pick.” He said it softly, so softly Gareth could barely hear. “She passed away a long time ago and it’s one of the few things of hers I have. So long as you have it, you also have me.” 

“Eddie…”

“You asked me to prove it and I did.” Eddie continued, bulldozing right over whatever protest Steve had. “You mean something to people, Steve Harrington. You mean something to me.”

Another wounded noise, this one wet, as if Steve was crying. 

Slowly, gently, Eddie pressed their foreheads together, the two of them practically sharing the same breath. 

Gareth slowly, carefully, began walking backwards, trying not to make a sound. This was too fragile for him to ruin, and he spent a moment praying he wasn’t discovered as he slowly snuck his way back out the drama room. 

Eddie deserved his happiness, and so too, did Steve. 

#tw panic attack #you know I had to have Gareth walk into at least ONE accidental scene like this #I kinda go back and fourth about him stumbling into them kissing but ehhhhhh #adopt a jock #0o0 fanfics #steddie

Hello! I feel like rereading Vargas these days so, I'd like to request some Edgar, Scriabin interaction (maybe one of them being vulnerable), if that's okay?

Day 14 - Stop making your lack of imagination my problem ò///q

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Scriabin #I gotta be honest - I was initially stumped by this prompt lol #Me! The one who pines constantly! Nuts about these two specifically! Lol #(It's because my brain was all in on Adventure Time when it came in lol) #But that actually turned out to my advantage ♪ #If you've seen Fionna and Cake Episode 8 - you know #It's been enough of a bit since I gave the current song to them - I'll still occasionally stumble across a song to add to my Vargas playlis #But just the current earworm being gifted to them? It's been a bit! So I decided to give it a go for inspiration #Well if that scene already made me cry guess what giving the song to them did lol #Specifically ''I've seen worlds in you I didn't know how to dream'' like ugh kill me ♥ #Everyone go listen to Everything In You and yearn! Yearn with me!! Haha #Drawing them vulnerable is still a favourite of mine ♪ I love when they're sweet to each other #Edgar being affectionate! Love when that happens <3 #And a flustered Scriabin ♫ And yet they're not pushing each other they're just gently accepting each other <3 <3 #Plus drawing Edgar's hand like that was fun haha ♪♫ Gently hold ♥ #Fingers spread like that with his thumb on his cheek hhhhhh I can't not sweetness #Anyhow - enjoy your reread :D I'm still holding off so enjoy it for everyone if you would! Haha

“You’ve got about as much game as a shoe."

"Oh, I've got game."

"Oh yeah? Prove it."

Before you can blink, Abel scoops you up and throws you over his shoulder. You yelp in surprise as he carries you up the last flight of stairs and to his front door.

"Um, I feel like I should protest here—”

Abel smacks your ass, and you let out another squeak. "Quiet, I'm showing off my game.”

The return of General Obi-Wan Kenobi: an action choreography breakdown

The action choreography for Obi-Wan’s lightsaber scenes in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series episode 4 is SO GOOD. Every one of Obi-Wan’s movements had intentional narrative impact. Every. Movement.

He starts off by striking from the darkness, still rusty and lacking in confidence. He wields his lightsaber like a vibroblade, two-handed, heavy, overextended. It takes four strikes to bring each stormtrooper down.

They run together. In the corridor, the seeker droid starts firing blaster bolts. Obi-Wan instinctively takes up a shoulder-wide stance, lightsaber aloft by his right shoulder. Form IV: Ataru. The lightsaber form of his childhood, his apprenticeship.

He deflects a blaster bolt away from Leia. Then another. Stormtroopers flood in from behind him. He tries to deflect a bolt at the Stormtroopers, but it misses, because he’s out of practice. His body is catching up with his muscle memory. But he parries again, and again, and the next shot downs a trooper. He’s stumbling through Ataru stances like half forgotten memory but each step is smoother and more fluid and then the droid is down. The last trooper is still shooting and by then he can act on instinct - and now the trooper goes down in one hit.

Obi-Wan spins his lightsaber afterwards. He doesn’t know why he does it, it’s just years of instinct, written into his bones.

In the next corridor every single deflected bolt is another trooper down. But Obi-Wan and Leia are pinned on both sides, and he finally shifts his weight and moves into a rapid series of flowing movements, a deadly whirl of light. This is the lightsaber style of ultimate defense, the style that proved in the Clone Wars to be devastatingly effective against blaster crossfire: Form III, Soresu. This is the the style Obi-Wan used in his prime.

This is lightsaber style of General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This is how you use an action scene to show narrative progression. Obi-Wan walked into the torture chamber as a rusty, determined hermit. Five minutes later, he stood in the corridor as General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #kenobi #kenobi series #kenobi series spoilers #i could write a whole essay about the stances he used in those three scenes #the physical acting was so incredibly well done #it looked like ​ewan mcgregor was intentionally taught to stumble and overextend initially #and then halfway through his bodyweight naturally shifted central and BAM he’s back #you could literally track his choreography from Episode I - Episode III and clone wars over a five minute action scene #SOMEONE SCREAM ABOUT THIS WITH ME

do you think the marines have sensitivity training. was there a debate over whether it was intolerant to crop ace’s chest out of his first wanted poster picture because he refused to get top surgery but plenty of other cis male pirates are shirtless and their pictures are posted as-is. do you think the navy’s medical branch will supply hrt

#riko.txt #ace #no op ace is a beloved hc of mine. partially because it makes me feel better abt my chest #but also bc after a point i don’t think he’d care #+ ​it’s funny to watch people decide how to react + if anyone has a problem with it. well. flame emperor 🔥‼️💥🔥🔥‼️💥💥 #sidebar i once read a fic that featured a scene where a marine was desperately trying to arrest (an openly nb) luffy #and stumbling over which title to announce the arrest attempt with like pirate ki—quee—uh. pirate ruler monkey d luffy! #and mentioned trying to follow the pointers from sensitivity training. anyway i think about it all the time

[dont-blame-it-on-the-kids]

I have a question if it’s alright? Personally what do you think happened to Lin after Amon took her bending? Cause I doubt he would have just let her walk free bending or not. Cause like near the end she just pops back up. No escape scene or anything if Amon did imprison her.

*Looks at entire blog* uh yeah... I might have a few thoughts lmao <3

It is Perfectly Alright!!! I will always always enjoy any excuse to talk about After/During Amon shit yessssss

I have a few fics up about this! up on my Ao3, MIND THE TW TAGS I BEG YOU.

I have an OLD one about if Lin got off the island and how she tried to support the Krew and keep out of their way.

i have another idea where she was held in the cells pema and the kids were shoved into in later so she knew she failed to protect them after all.

I have another idea where shes held in a wooden cage in the Sato workshop so she could see the planes and machines being built but couldnt reach them.

I have the more recent fic about her being tortured for the days leading up to the rally. but she is uh, barely alive and that is not really canon compliant with the unexplained scene of Lin on the docks.

so if you're looking for a fully canon compliant take...

Amon did not let her off the island, they probably held her in that cell that they have in the ATI attic (for some reason?) she would have tortured for information, where the air fam was headed, where the Avatar was, ect. she would have been there when Tarrlok was tossed in, but I think maybe she was dragged out to the arena to be apart of the rally as a display of all the trophies Amon's collected the bending of. So no one knew where she was but she was probably with a bunch of other captives so she was found when the police cleared the building. So for keeping it canon compliant then any injuries would have been healed up with a healing sesh. (or she was hiding her injuries rather well)

as an aside, in the south

As to why Lin was there, I think Katara would have tried bloodbending to undo the damage bloodbending did. Lin allowed Katara to try several times on herself with no success.

I also fully believe Korra took Lin into the Avatar state with her so she could see Aang again and he could thank her and say he loved her and was proud of her and Aang could restore Lin's element to her.

#i have so many ideas about this #and they are never kind to lin lol #anonymous #after amon #my brand #please feel free to keep asking me questions #i love you sm #give me an excuse to rant about how they couldnt include the lin scenes cuz its a kids show #let me tell you about how they dont know Amon is dead #how they keep getting reports of him in the city #and how lin's hands tremble and she feels like she cant breathe when she reads those fucking words #how she stumbles her way to Saikhans at 3am after a nightmare left her in a hallucination/delusion and she is terrified Amon is after her #that he has the air kids

when two people cling to the same lifeline, one might end up falling off.

#star stumbles #kdrama #the impossible heir #royal loader #star shots #they were so tense in this scene and you can feel their relationship really got worse over time #i mean it is built on the foundation that they both chose money and power and agreed to let the other be #but eventually it might come to the point of stepping on each other’s toes #it’s messy because i think they have both never been upfront about their motives #inha is the most emotionally transparent (and even him not so much) #ep 4

i've been getting heavily back into gw2 RP lately and i've noticed an increasing amount of gw2 rp events popping up, so i wanna give some unsolicited advice that has helped me grow as a roleplayer + have More Fun roleplaying, in the hopes it helps spark that in other folks too:

1 - follow the "yes, and" rule of improv! RP is all improv! "yes, and" basically means accepting/listening to what your improv partner has said, and then building on it. in a roleplay setting, this can mean having yourself + your character consider and internalize what the other person has said, and then building off of it with their own dialogue/reaction/proposal/etc. it does not mean agreeing with the other character, it means trying to not let the scene die right there even if your character would ordinarily do something like just walk off or ignore the other person.

you sometimes have to force your character to be ever-so-slightly ooc in order to do "yes, and", but it is SUPER worth it. RP is often like you and your partner laying out a series of little tom and jerry mousetraps full of lore and character development and conflict for the other person to step in. try ur best to both step in them and also keep laying them out for the other person, and you will have fun!

2 - fully allow your character to be stupid, embarrassing, make incorrect assumptions, get into trouble, get in over their head, be outmatched, have too much confidence, bite off more than they can chew, and generally fail at things. you can still have a "cool" character in spite of all of these things-- but failure can be fun, and helps make interactions more realistic

2a - relatedly, at all costs, avoid seeing RP as a 'game' that can be 'won' by either character or player. this one should be obvious, but a lot of people behave like this reflexively especially if they're worried about the 'coolness' or 'power level' of their character becoming compromised, so it's good to be aware of. this can kill people's desire to RP with you very very quickly

3 - be aware that your character will, or should!!, grow and change over time as you write and rp them more. if you're sitting there thinking through your next emote and you get a wild idea in your head, or you look at what you just hit enter on and thought "wow, they're acting kind of different, is this too OOC"... consider for a second if it's just a new, unexpected Thing about your character surfacing due to the rp! seeing your little brain guy evolve from a couple paragraph backstory pitch into a fully fleshed out person full of surprises is part of the fun! embrace it! ...and if it IS too much, you can always try to fix it in future rps haha

4 - last, but not least... COMMUNICATE! get to know your partner and their visions for their characters, and their inspirations, the types of stories they like, and so on. make sure you have a firm idea of the sorts of boundaries you want to lay out in your RP-- are either of you cool with injuries, your characters knowing secret backstory details about each other, romance/flirting, lore bending/breaking, and so on! don't be afraid to ask them in party chat before you hit send on something if it feels like it pushes a line, and absolutely bring up any cool ideas you get, too!

#my stuff #sorry kind of rambling i just feel jazzed about rp lately #for fucking real the 'yes and' thing alone has actually saved my writing #i have a lot of characters who are kind of like miserable little loner bitches #and in the past i have absolutely killed rps and completely dropped the ball on my partners with them #you should hold in your mind that both you and the other person need Something to react to in the next sentence #you can kind of stumble through a scene as long as One character is full of ideas and motives #but once it runs out that scene will absolutely dry up #if you were in a convo with a stranger on the train and you already shared everything you wanted to and they just went 'haha. yeah.' it -- #would kill the convo pretty fast right? same idea for rp
