#but why am i rambling in the tags of this post...

[alitherandom]

Bad Batch is almost over so I'm going to ramble. If anyone can relate, please reply or reblog. Share what this show has meant to you, share your thoughts, share theories, tag people. Let's give it a send off.

Star Wars has been a massive part of my life for years.

I loved everything about the Clone Wars, the world building, the character development for the jedi, but most of all the clones. As someone who finds it hard to read faces, it was fun getting to know each of the clones as individuals with their own personalities and I actually never had any issues telling them apart. It hits hard, I think that's what makes their stories even more tragic.

Echo and Fives are my favourite Star Wars characters so I was really happy when Echo came back in Clone Wars season 7. That was why I decided to watch the Bad Batch- it then became my favourite series.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do when this show ends. I think the hardest part is not knowing what the galaxy has in store for the batch and where it could go from here. Whatever happens I’ll always be grateful for the experiences I've had as part of this community over the last few years.

I think that's what's great about being part of a fandom. Seeing all the different ideas and projects that get put out there every day as well as knowing everyone else is in just as much suspense as I am. I haven't interacted on here that much until the last few months, but I check the tags a lot and all the fanart has been immaculate. The writers and artists are crazy talented and work so hard, I admire the level of dedication and aspire to be like that. 😂

I'm also really grateful for the three seasons we got with Clone Force 99.

Seeing Echo go from a shiny in the Clone Wars to becoming who he is now. (I could talk about that for ages, but I'll save that for another post.)

Seeing Crosshair regain his trust in the batch and get to change.

Seeing Hunter step up for his brothers and Omega.

Seeing more sides to Wrecker's strength.

Seeing Omega go from that kid who'd never seen dirt before to learning from her brothers and proving how brave she is.

And lastly, seeing Tech make the choice he did back in season 2. It wasn't easy to watch, because he deserved more time and there was definitely a massive hole in season 3 without him.

I'm not ready to say goodbye to any of them.

My favourite episodes in season 1 were the last few, when Kamino fell. It was the end of an era as well as a new beginning.

My favourite episode in season 2 was episode 8. I was really proud of Echo, plus he got a hug from Omega which I have admittedly rewatched far too many times.

My favourite episodes in season 3 were episodes 13 and 14. The stakes have been so high and it's been great seeing Echo's ARC skills in action again. (Plus the dialogue with Rampart was top tier. Hate that guy, but it was hilarious.)

I'm well aware of all the theories for the finale. I'm choosing to ignore most of them, but I’d like to present my own.

I hope Echo gets to finish what Fives started and the clones can finally be free, including Tech if he's CX2. I hope the batch gets to burn Tantiss to the ground and fly off into the sunset with Omega and the kids from the vault, and then I hope they continue a lifetime of bullying Rampart. I also hope Emerie gets to whack Hemlock with a steel chair, and then the Zillo beast can eat him.

…After all, Star Wars is based on hope, right?

If anyone actually ended up reading this to the end you're a real one- have a great final Bad Batch eve, and may the force be with you.

Everyday i think about this screenboard scene that got semi-scrapped from Donnie vs Witch Town, like it just explains so much about Donnie as a character and i’m very sad we didnt get to see it entirely

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise donnie #like it just reveals that donnie has thought his only use to the team is being usefull via his tech #and feared he might get replaced or wasnt needed anymore #and instead of talking about it he bottled it up and it turned into aggression towards magic #like god we need to use this angst potentional more #cause it explains /why/ donnie was so stoneset on using his tech instead of mystic magic and kept saying how its better #and why his tech is usually gadgets or things that help him and/or his family #he thought thats all he's good for #apologies if i keep repeating things i'm a sucker for donnie angst and this makes me go wild #listen donnie vs witch town is not a high ranked episode on the tier list for me that scene next to the fight scene was the only part #i enjoyed a lot #and i wish they kept the entire screenboard in cause it explains a lot about donnies character and gives some drama #dia rambles #edit cause this post gained way more notes then i ever had or imagined i would ever have:: #i am flattered and virtually high-fiveing every one of you folk that said they liked my tags #i was unsure if i should even put the ramble there cause i wasnt sure if people were even gonna read it #so if means the world to me seeing people in the notes having the same reaction towards the screenboard and liking my ramble in the tags #HOWEVER i would greatly apprichiate everyone who copypasted my tags to at least credit me #some have given credit and i'm gratefull for y'all and i understand that maybe theres still the glitch for mobile users and you can always #edit your rb #I'm not mad or upset at anyone i would just really prefer it if people at least prev tagged me #ALSO SIDE NOTE to all the folk that said they'd maybe draw/animate/write smth with this a) i put the link to the full screenboard in a rb #and b) please tag/dm me or send me an ask to inform me cause i would LOVE to see it

Hey-ho! I'm back again with some Apex Polarity art, but this time it's some designs for the humans' snow gear!

It started out with me just trying to figure out a design for y/n in my little comic, but then I thought it would be fun to also try and visualize the other humans, so here's my take of y/n, Vanessa and Michael! I really like how they turned out, although I don't think I got Vanessa's "patchwork" look quite right, but I still like where I landed. I added a blue scarf and I was really tempted to give her those red goggles, since it would've made her resemble Vanny even more, but in the end I desided against it.

So yeah- nothing too big this time, just something fun and easy!

But to round this off, I will of course credit the wonderful author @naffeclipse who is writing Apex Polarity, which you can go read if you click right here (can 100% recommend, especially if you like stories with a bunch of fluff, mystery and drama~!) and today I give credit to myself for the designs of the humans! ;P

#apex polarity #dca #dca fandom #polar!y/n #polar!vanessa #polar!michael #OK SO- I was trying to keep my rambling to a minimum in the main post #but now we're in the tags baby and I am about to RAMBLE!! #So if you're intersted in some extra info/thoughts- tag along! #so one thing I would like to note for y/n's design especially is the coloring choice #the grey jacket was mostly because- you know- ✨y/n-core✨a.k.a. grey #but the rest of the colors are basically the same as eclipse's colors- as a nod to their fated connection (black white red & yellow!) #I also kind of tried to make them look a little bit like a baby penguin- but the colors are inverted- so I guess I kind of failed? XD #but the thought was there! #As for vanessa I said most of it in the main post- except I gave her what I like to call; The Gamer Goggles (⌐■ω■) instead of the red ones #why do I call them that? I have absolutely no idea- so let's leave that and continue! #I designed michael last and he was kind of the easiest to do #the color balancing was maybe a little tricky- but I think the end result looks good! #at the very least he looks like he is ready for the weather AND you won't easily lose track of him in the snowy landscape! :D #I also made him a little fasco logo! #Nothing too fancy- just a happy little fox ready to tag along on an adventure! :3 #and that's about it for these pictures #I was tempted to also add their indoor design in this post (because yes- I also made some indoor designs >:3) #but I've decided to post them on a separate post so I won't ramble too much in this one XD #I mean look at this!!! #the terrible ramble disease strikes again #Will I ever escape it? probably not :P #now thank you so much for reading all of this and I hope you have a lovely day and/or night! XD

am I the only one who thinks it's kinda sad that so many fandoms are retreating into their own discord servers? like, I get that it's nice to have an exclusive place to talk to likeminded people and where you can post stuff without fear of idiots latching onto it, but ... exclusive means also others get shut out. some people don't have the nerve or time for discord. and if I'm new to a fandom and don't have any other people to contact, the tags are the first thing I'll get to see and ... most of them are just full with AO3 links, which (no offence) I could just go to AO3 for, a few pics, some personal posts ... and that's it. there's hardly anthing in the tags anymore, while a lot of stuff gets discussed and posted in discord.

#tess is rambling #i'm not saying discord is Bad(TM) #i'm just saying it would be nice to keep the tags alive as well #if the pics/memes/etc are already there why not also post them on tumblr #someone will be happy about it i promise #especially in smaller fandoms #or am i getting a completely wrong impression here?

Screw the ghost shit, this is the biggest mystery in HGSN. If Chapter 22 doesn’t open with a full telling of Yoshiki’s tragic backstory: the birthday party where he received 11 copies of the same book from 11 different people, then idk if I can continue reading…

#For clarity I am joking #But we do know he has relatives that live close enough nearby to give him a watermelon and have it not be bad by the time it gets there #I’m assuming they’re on his dad’s side since… mom from tokyo #And then I’m also guessing that’s where Yoshiki’s dad stays so it’d explain why Yoshiki never goes and sees them or thinks about them #Every one of my posts is some rambling bullshit and then the real post is in the tags… should I separate some of these into actual posts? #Nah that seems like effort #Also that relatives thing is only in the official translation. Not the one you’ll find online #So idk how we as a fandom have decided to treat the canonness of those translations #the summer hikaru died #hikaru ga shinda natsu #hgsn #My hgsn shit

I'm mainly a critter coming to dimension 20 for a few specific players and campaigns but one thing I appreciate immensly as a European is Brennan Lee Mulligan's clear adoration for ethymology. He could've just as easily called it mindopolis but not only does mentopolis resemble metropolis better, he chose to go with the indoeuropean root of the word which in itself is insanely cool because "mentis" shares roots with "mundi"- "world".

All the fucking names in the crown of candy world! It's just genuinely nice seeing names like "comida" "ceresia" "pangranos" and knowing they aren't necessarily made to be immediately familiar and comprehensible to an anglophone audience.

The opposite goes for many of the pun names of the npcs that I have a lot of fun decoding as a non native english speaker. However it will never top when I pulled a Trapp while playing curse of strahd and asked my dm if one of the people in the catacombs was named "Intrinsic Value" to which my dm looked horrified at the manual, then me, then said "why would you make me notice that"

#dimension 20 #mentopolis #i dont even know if I want my posts to be found so why am I tagging them #ooooh I should make one of those cool ass tags for when I ramble about shit so people can mute me

Honestly Peter/Roger should be way more of a ship imo. I know we barely got to see them interact in Dialtown but you cannot tell me Peter bringing up his wife was looking to spice things up in the bedroom or whatever wasn't a direct attempt to rizz him up that just completely flew over Roger's head (or maybe it didn't and Peter just chickened out. The possibilities are endless. I'm shaking you by the shoulders are you listening to me❓‼️)

#luly talks #dsaf #peter kennedy #roger jones #dialtown #i originally was making a different post just being vague rambling in the tags but then i hit post forgettign I'd hit post limit #and lost it 👎 so now im being straight forward and spewing my gospel 👍 #but I'll say it the world of phoney on phoney is so unexplored #this one is so funny to me bc i also do ship jack and roger or rather acknowledge just how badly he wanted that phone #the hater brothers seeing the nicest little guy ever: i want him. #that's the reason why peter won't let roger meet his brother btw territorial beast/JOKE #queued this for nearly 4 am who gives a fuck

Greetings, my dear Mads.

Would you be ever so generous and talk about your headcanons about Menelaus & Polites' relationship with Odysseus?

*cracks knuckles*

I think I should preface this and say that I'm ace/demisexual and that affects...everything. Both of these relationships are basically QPP. Forehead kisses, snuggles, just affectionate. (which I have Odysseus VERY strange with. He's very hot and cold. He's extremely affectionate with his family but Menelaus and Polites' are basically the only two whom Odysseus will not glare at if they put their hand on Odysseus' shoulder)

I'll do Odysseus and Polites first as they're shorter.

Mostly takes place during the Odyssey. And these two are friends. During the year at Circe's...yeah, Odysseus cries on Polites' shoulder multiple times. I have a plan for Circe's thing but that's darker and... YEAH. 🥺 Someday I will write it but yeah. Odysseus is NOT well. Nightmares...other thingsksdljf ds

I have many thoughts on the relationship that Odysseus and Menelaus have. I really love having vulnerable human moments and seeing the potential of Odysseus and Menelaus? GOLD MINE!

I think it's because they're kind of opposites yet UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. Odysseus is a chatterbox and Menelaus is a man of few words. Menelaus is very honorable most of the time while Odysseus is...Odysseus. Odysseus tells stories while Menelaus gets straight to the point. They've been friends for a long time (They literally are each other's wingmen for my fics during the suitors of Helen. And Odysseus loves Menelaus' hugs.)

Odysseus is kind of a dick to EVERYONE during the Trojan war and that is a lot of the "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!!! I WANT TO GO HOME!! I MISS MY WIFE AND SON!!!" so he's an ass.

But with Menelaus? He can't be mad. BECAUSE THEY BOTH GET IT. They miss their wives. They miss their kids. And Odysseus is just like, "I can't be mad at you...I know that if it had been Penelope kidnapped, I would have done the same...Wanna go cry together?🥺"

They oftentimes will just...visit each other for a good cry. Holding each other and letting the other ramble about whatever they need. Resting foreheads together. Doing each other's hair. Simply CHILLING! THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE OPPOSITES 😭

Also I have this stupid image in my head that's like a crackfic

Rando: "Hey, How come Odysseus has never stolen from you/stabbed you/insulted you/set your stuff on fire?" Menelaus: "Odysseus? Him?! No! He's a trickster, yes. But he's not a bad man! I'd trust him with my life!" Odysseus: "Yeah! I'm such a fucking sweetheart!" *Someone's tent bursts into flames behind him, from Olive Oil Odysseus purposely set up to light shit on fire*

Idk if I'll get the chance to write this fic idea but I want it to be after Odysseus steals the Palladium. He's alone with Menelaus and "Hey...I saw Helen...She still loves you and she misses you... She says she's sorry."

And Poor Menelaus just breaks. He wants to know everything that happened. And Odysseus answers. Odysseus just holds him while he cries. Probably starts tearing up himself. And just fall asleep together. This has happened multiple times. They can be VULNERABLE with each other!!! Menelaus is one of the few men Odysseus wouldn't steal from or kill in his sleep! Plus it's canon that Menelaus gives the best hugs (I asked Homer. He told me. shush!)

Just....??? AAAAAAAAAAAA

I LOVE THEM!!!! THey are so soft while still being warriors and kings because they're mortal MEN. Who have so many feelings inside them both (especially during Trojan war) I LOVE IT!!!1ksldjf

#I am gently holding them #I also made that whole “Helen and Odysseus are similar” post and I think that HEAVILY influences my love for these two #There's! Just! So! Much! To! EXPLORE!!!!!!! #OdyPen are both chaos and are little shits and are LIKEMINDED. Menelaus gives Odysseus someone that makes him FUCKING CALMDOWN #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #Don't read more tags unless you're prepared👀 #the circe thing only happened once but...TRAUMA #For Polites thing. Odysseus needs comfort because of nightmares and fearing of “having that strange dream again”. #It's a smut where Circe uses illusions to make Odysseus think she's Penelope during that one time...It's why Circe #finds him pathetic as he's spending most of the time crying and talking about how much he missed “Penelope” and yeah :') VERY ANGSTY #THIS IS WHY I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE A SIDEBLOG >:( #ask #gotstabbedbyapen #menody
