10 years in the future for Nanako-chan

#nanako dojima #persona 4 #yu narukami #ryotaro dojima #tohru adachi #a little sister... a LITTLw sister. you expect me to not fawn...? to not crumble? ok.... #go on. look....... go on. GO ON!!!!! (crazed) (eye twitching) (i like these 4 and nana-chan especially) #hope you like my older design for her... #funfacts i said on twitter so i'll put on tags here: #adachi did his time in jail quick. yu's 27 and still looks the same. pretty bancho #i think nanakos signature color would change from pink to yellow. yu doesn't actually wear any yellow at all in p4g IIRC #but it is a color you associate him with the most. i want nanako to adopt that color. BUUUTTT #for self indulgent's sake she does wear pink to get yu to dote on her more. (reminds him fondly of baby nana-chan) #(AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) #oh yeah and adachi's a hag. i think his fashion is handpicked by yu probaably. #(thinking if i missed anything else) ahhhh........... nanako-chan... return for p6 or something. ok byeee!

#nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #tw blood #going to be talking vol 9 spoilers in here pls do not read if u have not read it!! #wolfwood my beloved. he's such a battle genius with such strong survival instincts and incentive to fight. it makes me so sad but also #it's just the way he's been able to live for as long as he has [explodes] #midvalley calling him a demon/devil (iforget which word) and livio being like “victory seems impossible” when faced against him aughhh AUGH #he's clearly not invincible - vol 8 proved that when he almost did get beat if not for vash swooping back in... but the way he carries #the battles really makes it feel like it. especially whenever he “revives” for the sake of protecting another person. i.e. him getting #back up to defeat livio - him battered and worn from the fight but then pushing his body to get up when chapel aimed at the orphanage #and then despite the blood gushing out of him he still regained cautiousness to defend razlo at the end.... ugh.... ugh..... #anyway... i love how nightow draws ww - these were fun to do. ive been meaning to do these redraws esp from vol 9/10 #and maybe ill go back to do redraws from his previous fights. all and all i just need to get down how he uses the punisher properly #ruporas art

for the record even if ganondorf is irredeemably evil and tries to kill everyone i’ll still support him. he’s my boo. my cinnamon apple. my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. he’s my babygirl, the apple of my eye, the reason i get up in the mornings. my forever galpal.

#totk #botw #legend of zelda #loz #ganondorf #i do THINK... even if he stays the villain (which honestly is probably the most likely lol) that he'll be more nuanced #I HOPE #but like............. #totk is giving heavy princess mononoke vibes #especially with link's arm becoming corrupted after being grabbed by the evil tendrils? #exactly how ashitaka's arm got corrupted #so i can see this ganondorf being like a lady eboshi villain #they both want to rule the world and they both do terrible things #but they care about their people #they have qualities that make others loyal to them despite their amoral actions #wind waker ganondorf said he initially did everything because he was resentful of how his people were dying in the desert #while hyrulians prospered #i want to see more of that #and less of 2 dimensional evil for the sake of being evil

grian pearl and scott: none of us chose or even truly desired to win, rather, victory was thrust upon us like the cloak of destiny that we all don. victory was unwelcome and in some cases unexpected, it could've been anyone but it was us martyn: i murdered cause i wanted to win and i won cause i wanted to murder

#this is a hyperbole guys b4 u get mad at me #i just think its funny how especially grain and pearl's victories were these big climatic things with a ton of emotional buildup #and especially pearls #whos victory was very much thrust upon her #compared to martyn who literally just lied and betrayed his teammate to win #bc! he wanted to win! #couple that with the hc that c!martyn has at least some idea abt the watchers I think that's pretty interesting lore wise #but who am i to say anythinh abt lore (<- knows nothing about nothing) #being stuck in situations vs murder for murders sake #grian #scott smajor #pearlescentmoon #martyn inthelittlewood #limited life spoilers #innsjotxt #1k #martyn itlw

todd is almost always extremely soft, but i headcanon that he’s soft except for during times when people he cares for are distressed. not that i condone violence or anything, but mr. perry best be glad he and todd weren’t in much proximity to one another after neil’s death

#i can just see him slamming his fist into mr perry #especially during that point of the movie where he’s come SO MUCH out of his shell #like yes todd is soft but i also think it would make sense for him to have intense periods of rage #once the sadness subsides #maybe i’m alone in thinking this idk #not as much for himself but anger for his friends’ sakes??? #todd anderson #dps #dead poets society #dead poets headcanons #dps headcanons #dead poets fandom #dps fandom #dps boys #neil perry

I've been thinking about Falin vs Laios on making friends. Laios being concerned for Falin's isolation and his excitement for making a friend of his own.

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #laios touden #laios dungeon meshi #laios dunmeshi #marcille donato #marcille dungeon meshi #marcille dunmeshi #listen. #marcille and laios's friendship has taken hold of me. #Yes they are united in their love of Falin and she is the catalyst for their friendship #but unlike Shuro who was around Laios honestly for Falin's sake that is not the case with Marcille. #Their relationship doesn't dissolve the moment Falin leaves. #Especially with the Nightmare of the latest episode. What Laios tells Marcille is his genuine opinion of her #explicitly not a quote from Falin. She very much wants him around in turn. #Even if... her view of him is an overblown caricature while his for hers is quite stalwart and capable. #(not me slighting her; I just think it hasn't settled in for her how truly highly he thinks of her) #I'm putting this in tags specifically because it's not particularly relevant to the main post but it is why I even had this thought #Anyways; </thoughts from an anime only>

Sometimes I think people need a few more lessons in media literacy before they engage with something that deals with sexual trauma/abuse. I see takes like "wait, did Cazador actually sexually abuse Astarion and the other spawn? Omg it's just so ambiguous idk!"

My guy. My dude. My brother in Lathander. What the fuck do you think the line "he said my screams sounded sweetest" meant?

#i mean i can understand that some nuance flies over some heads #especially if they aren't victims themselves or if they've never watched a single episode of Law and Order SVU #but for fucks sake #its spelled out for you right there #Cazador has a rape room for fuck's sakes #like how much more evidence of 'he also abused his spawn' do you need? #bg3 #astarion meta #cazador

the Sully kids' reaction to Jake saying Spider "knew everything" breaks my heart.

they knew him better than anyone else, better than their parents. they knew his love for Eywa, for Pandora, for The People, for the clan, for their family. they knew he would never tell the RDA anything... not willingly at least.

they knew they were leaving because Spider would be tortured for information, he'd be forced to reveal their home, their plans, their numbers, their weaknesses. their brother would be tortured and they were being forced to leave him behind.

they knew they were being forced to find a new home, without their brother, because their dad knew he would be tortured.

#I like to think. for the sake of my sanity. Jake knew Spider would be loyal to them. that he would only blab once broken by torture. #anything else would kill me. the level of anger would be lethal. #but regardless. I think the kids would also need to believe the same thing. they *need* to think their dad has faith in their brother. #but back to the reactions themselves. the heartbreak and confusion on Kiri and Tuk's face. the way Lo'ak looks dissociated. #we can barely even see his face. but even Neteyam looks surprised and painted. even if its kept under a calm guise #(I will never let anyone convince me 'tey didn't love Spi. James. give us more about them please. more than these little crumbs) #they were just little kids and he was their big brother #he was Lo'ak and Kiri's best friend #Tuk was his baby #I feel it in my bones that Spi and 'tey were brothers with a complicated history. I know 'tey was scared to lose him. #I don't have proof but I know James is cooking up something with them #they would never believe Spider would just give them up. but that opens up their minds to so many things to think about #they had to be so scared for him and angry he was being left behind #(especially since in the comics Kiri. Lo'ak. and Tuk risk their lives to save him when he was kidnapped by Nash) #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #kiri sully #lo'ak sully #tuk sully #tuktirey sully #neteyam sully #lo'ak #kiri #tuk #tuk tuk #tuktirey #neteyam

Guys, I’ve read the Wild Robot

And let me tell you, if I hadn’t recently taken a Children’s Literature class in college, I would’ve said this was the best middle-grade book I’ve read since elementary/middle school. I almost read this book in one night (I was sleepy 😴) like I couldn’t put it down.

The heart behind this book is astounding and it never shies away from showing complex and difficult concepts. You will fall in love with Roz and her gosling son along with all of the other animal on the island.

If you’ve got younger ones, I highly recommend reading this to them or having a little book club moment with them. However, be prepared for whatever hard questions may come your way (i.e. circle of life and climate issues). You know your child and how much they can handle/understand. If you’re like me and much older, it’s a quick read and a great way to finish off a long day. It’s a part of a trilogy and you bet I’m patiently waiting for my hold on a copy at the library.

If the movie is anything like the book (which, given a rewatch of the trailer, it’s looking like so), we are in for a special treat.

#the wild robot #children’s literature #pedro pascal #did I get the book on the off chance pedro might have been casted - yes #but from what I learned in my kid lit class is that middle grade fiction in much more nuanced than ya lit today #ya lit has better potential of being good bc it has more room to work with #however ya tends to lean on tropes more heavily than middle grade #middle grade is much more focused on learning topics and issues than playing with them #making them more tightly knit #also with the decline of media literacy I think this book is a wonderful counterattack #it’s not shattering by any means but def a big step in the right direction #especially for those who have a harder time getting interested in books #and once again I’m so pleased with how carefully curated Pedro’s projects are amidst his growing stardom #he truly cares about the message and thought provoking-ness of his work #and it makes this writer/literature nerd so proud #(yes I know there’s no true messages behind his recent gladiator and marvel roles other than it sounded like fun to him but I support that #- too… the man must have his fun purely for fun’s sake)

one Warmup Gone Wrong later i finally have a full ref for the man, the myth, the legend, the minor annoyance, the thorn in the side of petty criminals and more successful heroes the world over, the one and only GOLDEN BOY (civilian name TBD. it's gotta be something super boring like, Jim or Something)

#anonymous puzzler art #anonymous puzzler originals #villain coded comic #casual outfit was going for more of a 'guy who grew up on a farm' vibe but ended up more in the vicinity of Kurt Russell In Every 80s Film. #which to be honest? is also the correct vibe. so we work with it #i've definitely talked about this elsewhere but golden boy is very much a Superman Type Hero. crash landed from Elsewhere raised humbly #was classic hero Silver Fox's sidekick for many years and became a proper hero in his own right after he retired. very idealistic guy #genuinely believes for good for good's sake and helping people and the ability for bad people to change and all that #very Direct and not a fan of red tape. needless to say he is not the Favorite of the current establishment and is often treated as a joke #he is buck and davey's Most Consistent Heroic Adversary especially pre-Minnie

The issue with the Batfamily being so ridiculously competent and well-trained is that my eyes nearly rolled out of my head upon seeing that Penguin had managed to get the jump on Nightwing in Arkham Knight. That sort of thing only makes sense with some sort of injury or if we see the sequence play out. The entire time Penguin was shaking that gun at him, I kept waiting for Nightwing to overpower him and end the nonsense.

#The way you people still liked this post WITH THAT EGREGIOUS typo?? #arkham knight #Idk it's been ages but once in a while my brother and I still argue about this #We come up theories but it's so weird #especially because Penguin's at perfect headbutting height #even with Dick on his knees #batman #dick grayson #nightwing #FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT ANOTHER TYPO!!!

I keep starting and abandoning posts that go into my drafts, as I try to stay tasteful about how fucking revolted this part makes me. Like, I'm legitimately unsure if the very relevant trauma I have is making me see things that aren't here

But first we see that Star Flower is trying to ingratiate herself to the group, just after she reappears from chapter 5. Chapter 5 is about how Clear Sky is still abusive towards his son, and she comes in after stroking his ego, stressing how alone she is, and appealing to how she'll be loyal unlike his child. (She glances over at Thunder, directly implying this.)

Now in Chapter 9, she's babysitting and trying to care for Milkweed's kits (in spite of discomfort from Milkweed), taking a wet sleeping space away from the others, and pulling more than her own weight "without complaint." Putting herself through harsh sitations to prove her worth.

All while trying to appear extra attractive to Thunder, and later Clear Sky. Basically every man in power who can "protect her"

Like, am I going fucking crazy? With how we later find out that Star Flower was "promised as a mate" to One Eye's subordinate Slash, is... is that hypersexualization? One of the extremely stigmatized symptoms of sexual abuse?

She goes to find Clear Sky alone to throw herself at his paws, and he's very quickly attracted to how she promises to perfectly obey him, have no needs of her own, and finally be the perfect servant that he desires

"I don't deserve your trust because I am dirt. I understand you because I also regret something. I'd die for you. I'll never betray you unlike those who have."

This isn't manipulation. She means this. The story is playing their romance sincerely. She's comparing "betraying" Thunder by telling her own father about an assassination ambush to Clear Sky's history of child abuse, physical assault, and murder

She believes she's on the same level as this; a monster who murdered a childhood friend in a fit of entitled rage. She was a victim of One Eye who really believes that the way her father used her means she "understands" this monster, deserves this treatment.

And Clear Sky LIKES that.

He likes that she will have COMPLETE FAITH in him. That she will follow him WITHOUT QUESTION. That she will OBEY his orders. That's fucking verbatim, that's THE TEXT!!!

WHILE HE'S STILL CRYING ABOUT "ive tried to atone every day" FOLLOWING THE LAST TWO BOOKS WHERE THE ONLY SHITTY THING HE DOESN'T DO IS MURDER INNOCENT WOMEN

Am I insane?? Am I wrong??? Am I missing something here???? Why the fuck is the fandom takeaway "haha sexy girl steals his dad." Did I read the same book

#Csa mention #Did they once again do a misogyny so hard they accidentally gave their woman character trauma #My tip to anyone in a draining relationship. If your partner fetishizes that YOU would never leave or betray them unlike ''all the others'' #RUN. #There may be a reason their exes cut ties with them and they're praising you for ignoring red flags #Especially when your partner is significantly older and more experienced #Theres nothing noble about constantly suffering for the sake of 'loyalty' #Star Flower PLEASE get out of here you dont fucking deserve this you did nothing wrong #Bones reads dotc #Dotc hate #I thought i was just remembering things wrong when i was adding the subtheme of thunder having a connection to star via abusive dads- #-in my dotc rewrite. But no it's right there. It's in the text and it's something clear is attracted to #I abuse the shit out of my son and he left me once over it #But i can abuse this girl his same age and she won't run. Finally! A victim who won't leave! #And then they become mates and she births at least two litters #Cw abuse #sa mention #EDIT: I've changed the language just slightly #because the timeline COULD work out that starf was an adult when she was promised to slash for a very brief window of time #and hypersexualization is a symptom of trauma resulting from many types of sex abuse. Even that done when the victim was an adult. #it's just more common in CSA
