loving the webtoon artist’s portrayal of this scene

#my ramblings #there’s two possibilities for this specific panel in my eyes #is it yjh? erasing himself from the future where the scenarios have ended? #or it is kdj? the man whose face no one can remember because they can’t truly see it? #the one who yjh believes will surely take everyone to the end of the scenarios? #anyways. the end of paradise is finally here. which means the 73rd demon king arc is coming #i’m so normal about this fact. so. normal. #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #yoo joonghyuk

When i say i dislike canon heterosexual couples, i don't mean them, i have never meant them and i will NEVER mean them.

#jigokuraku #gabiyui #They're so cute and in love and i love them #They're everything to me #also because of how they are protrayed #Yui may be Gabi's motivation but that is not all she is #through Gabi's flashbacks and memories we come to see her as a character all on her own #we can get emotionally attached to her #and Gabi's love and affection to her?!?! #his loyalty?!?! #the best thing a man can do is be mentally ill and love his wife #they are so couple #so love #noone will love like them i fear 😭 #hells paradise

"I hate how small this fandom I'm in is" then make it bigger?? You're part of the fandom, if there's no content you make that content.

#fandom #I've seen this complaint mainly on tiktok with stuff like marble hornets or fortnite (don't ask) #but the thing is like marble hornets isn't even a small fandom? Neither is fortnite? #I mean ok the gay fortnite community is small but its there yk #hope mutuals don't mind my fortniteposting recently #another #hell's paradise #jigokuraku #until dawn #final fantasy viii #any final fantasy game that isn't final fantasy vii #mlandersen0 #dororo #i want to put code geass but I see a lot more people coming back to it recently so it doesn't apply anymore #kill la kill #tasogare otome x amnesia #dusk maiden of amnesia

Wonder Woman (2009) remains the only adaptation to accurately get across the fact that the Amazons ended up on Themiscyra because of the trauma and horrors they faced in Man's World and I desperately need future Wonder Woman media to talk about that more

#a tragedy that WW 2009 is such a mixed bag of a movie because it's still the single best depiction of Amazonian lore we've ever gotten #Paradise Lost needs to come through for me because if I get to see the Well of Souls on the big screen? #If I get to see Hippolya vs. Hercules and the Themisycran-Bana split and the sacking of Amazonia? #I will literally never shut up about it #wonder woman #wonder woman 2009 #queen hippolyta #also the decision to include Artemis in the prologue as one of the original Amazons was so fucking weird but it made for a cool fight scene

Heehoo, Pandemonic Paradise doodles.

Doodle jabbers:

Been in my head for a while; just him. Pulling on a glove. Looking uhhhh less than happy.

The goodest Doom Chandelier! She, uh. First time, eh?

From the next chapter! Ingo meeting three good little Rotoms! I am very happy with the profile.

I gave him a steel chair. Finally.

Steel chair saga continues with violent intent.

4 and 5 aren't in the actual fic. They're just there for sillies.

I can't believe that my first time drawing Volo was for this.

(Program used: Krita)

(Time taken: approximately 2 hours 15 minutes) (that's a lot don't look at me that's a lot)

#pokemon #pokemon fanart #eggin creatin' #eggin's writings #merchant volo #subway boss ingo #submas #chandelure #rotom #everybody say bye-bye to volo now #this doodle bundle was full of first times #first steel chair first chandelure first volo #well technically I drew a volo kirby once #but that doesn't really count I don't think #pandemonic paradise au #wtst #you see a man identical to the chosen but he's holding a steel chair and glaring at you what do you do #you're just trying to rewrite the world to a better place but nooooo #here comes displaced new yorker 2.0 ready to throw hands directly #technically displaced new yorker 1.0 actually

One of the interesting things about The Good Place is that the show ends up being, effectively, a demonstration of why utilitarianism and especially consequentialism are garbage moral systems, but... the characters themselves never seem to notice that. Somehow.

Chidi gives us brief introductions to both of these moral theories (utilitarianism = the right action is the one that causes happiness for the most people, consequentialism = actions should be judged by their effects), they are discussed briefly, and then barely brought up again by name. But that’s what their afterlife runs on! The points system judges actions purely by consequences, and the good of bad of those consequences seems to be judged by their cumulative effects on, well, the entire universe, balanced out like a math problem. The points system IS utilitarianist and consequentialist.

(Sidebar: it’s true that it’s said a couple times that motivations also matter in that they also have to be correct, which... if true, would be a really infuriating twist. However! I don’t actually think this is true—Doug Forcett, for instance, is being “good” for purely self-interested reasons, and still has a very high point total. The cases in which motives seem to matter are Eleanor’s S1 actions in the Neighborhood—in which case she was playing in a very rigged game—and the Soul Squad’s “oh no, we know about the point system so we’re automatically damned” arc, which IIRC they didn’t actually get confirmation of.

I think it makes the most sense to theorize that Michael just assumed they were doomed, and was Right For The Wrong Reasons, because Michael canonically doesn’t understand the system that well.)

Anyway! We see the logical outcome of the points system in Doug Forcett, who has become a “happiness pump” in his attempt to live a utilitarianistically perfect life. His life is degrading, miserable, cut off from humanity, and also 100% selfish—he’s unhappy and an awful person! And that’s what the point system comes closest to rewarding. The points system doesn’t actually care if you’re a good person, or tried your best to help other people, or did what you thought was right. And that’s very obviously garbage.

But what the characters actually discuss is not “this system is unjust because it judges people by their unknowing cumulative effect on the world,” but “this system is unjust because there’s no ethical consumption in the modern world.” Which... also a decent point, but weird that they skated around the more fundamental problem.

What the show shows us—through the protagonists’ arcs in becoming loving, altruistic, honorable people, and again through the revised system which teaches people to be more virtuous—is that motivations and choices are the measure of morality. What it TELLS us, through the points system being left unquestioned as the Incontestable Standard of Goodness which people now just have to satisfy after dying instead of before (they’re playing by the same rules in the afterlife, just on Easy Mode), is that consequences are the measure of morality.

I mean, the show as a whole DOES leave me with the message of “consequentialism is garbage and here’s why.” But... that’s still a weird disconnect, and it makes me wonder if that’s actually a message they meant to write or not.

#i men obviously i already hated consequentialism #(and utilitarianism) #so coming in with a bias #but STILL #in general tgp has interesting ideas honestly explored #and even when i go 'no that's wrong' (the DOORWAY) i can see /why/ they made that choice and give them credit for trying #(most fiction writing about a Godless afterlife doesn't have the guts to acknowledge their paradises aren't gonna be eternally satisfying) #(so i do give them kudos for facing that) #finished my tgp rewatch a couple days ago so here's one of the half-essays rattling around my brain #the good place

honestly im still not wrong about terastalling being/causing a manifestation of dreams and desires but it sure is also timey wimey i guess

#coatlythoughts #didnt expect the seeing the dead at the crystal pool to come around in that way tbh #it is strange though.. why did terapagos do that.. #and it like. i think implies that you gave an alternate dimension arven his parent back? since they say theyll go home and read briars book #and you have the book arven has throughout the sv main story.. #but that also happened?? in our universe?? thats the hint for that cutscene?? #like you could say maybe prof had multiple copies but idk the scribbled name implies its The Copy from their childhood no? #tbh i dont really like it having actual spacetime powers so im going to pretend thats also a dream/desire #the player wishes for their friend arven to have had a better life somehow #and terapagos manifests a token that may or may not indicate that you influenced that in another timeline #just like the paradox pokemon are a token that may or may not indicate that the prof's 'paradise' is real #though i guess the scarlet/violet books being real throws a wrinkle into it since they also saw the paradox mons #BUT THAT WAS ALREADY A WRINKLE CAUSE PROF DIDNT SEE THEM UNTIL THEY MADE THE TIME MACHINE!!!! AUGH!!!!!!! #terapagos itself might also be a manifested token of briar's desires for heath to be right if we wanna keep spiralling about it #not only wanting terapagos to be real for vindication reasons but also her desires to control and understand terastalling further #what better way to fufill that than a pokemon you can catch that has. immense control of that energy #basically what im saying is its all a dream but like in a fucked up way thats also real #paradox mons is tulpas i think

Bikke, both times you meet him: BEWARE Astos, the darkest, foulest, cruelest monster you'll ever meet in any world. He's PROBABLY CHAOS and if he's not he's still REALLY SCARY and probably GOING TO KILL YOU so BE ON YOUR GUARD.

Astos:

#sopffo #sopffo liveblog #stranger of paradise #final fantasy origin #fool's missive 4 suggests they're kinda sorta weird friends #or at least that bikke is not actually scared of him and treats him like a person #but i just got to bikke's second fight and #bro where did this come from #especially (SPOILERS) since the next time you see astos #you have to save him #it's a really weird dynamic #also astos may have a ton of powerful darkness born of hatred and resentment #but i cannot be scared of a man who canonically makes that face #that EXACT face
