#gorilla fights

[starry-bi-sky]

I am of the DPxDC belief/headcanon that any variation of Danny who grew up poor in Gotham during his formative years before moving to Amity Park would not be friends with Sam without friction at first. It makes things more interesting and imo allows for more exploration of different themes plus character growth for Sam that she doesn't really go through in canon.

(this doesn't only apply to a DPDC au where Danny grew up in Gotham poor, but it was the first thing that I thought of where this might happen considering my Childhood Friends au.)

Now Sam's a compassionate girl, it's one of her defining character traits, but so is her hypocrisy and judgy-ness. She's the Not Like Other Girls' girl. This is in part of the show's narrative framing that makes her out like this, unfortunately though its still showing how she is as a character since its consistent enough to be part of her character description. There are also times where the show's depiction of her activism makes it look like she's performative about it. All of this makes her dynamic with a Danny who grew up poor in Gotham very interesting.

Anyways, Sam is aware of her privilege to an extent, but still has her blindspots - glaring ones, in some cases. Her self-righteous attitude would not go over well with a crime alley kid Danny. He'd like her, at first, but then she'd do something to make him mad - personally I think her judging people for not being vegan would annoy him the most, or at least would be the breaking point for him, because it was only recently that his family started actually being able to consistently put food on the table at all, good food nonetheless. And being vegan is expensive.

Any other behavior he noticed from her he'd slowly stop tolerating - her judging conventionally attractive girls and automatically assuming they're vapid and shallow for being feminine. Her anti-capitalist beliefs start coming off as superficial at worst, and Danny would eventually figure out that Sam either came from a family that was well off, or that she wasn't aware if her family was experiencing financial struggle.

He would still be friends with Tucker, but since Tucker imo is still friends with Sam, they'd still run into each other often enough to butt heads. Sam's got a nasty habit of refusing to take responsibility when she's wrong, but when Danny is arguing with her, and counterpointing her with stuff she can't retort back at without compromising her own beliefs, then forces her to start reflecting on herself. Especially when Tucker eventually starts siding with Danny and agreeing with him.

Does sam genuinely care about her beliefs and philosophies? Survey says yes. However that doesn't mean she's not ignorant, and she definitely is at times throughout the show (like when she released the purpleback gorilla thinking it 'wanted out of its enclosure' despite the fact that it was endangered and in an urban area) and I think it'd be a real fascinating dynamic between Danny and Sam to explore.

This isn't Sam hate btw, nor am I trying to make her out like "the worst person ever" bc she's not, i wanna make that explicitly clear. Sam Manson has a lot of positive traits about her but she also has an equal amount of negative traits that I think should be explored, she is not immune to the character development.

#dpdc #dpxdc crossover #dpxdc #dpdc headcanon #dpxdc headcanon #dpxdc danny fenton #dpxdc sam manson #on a funnier note to me Danny asks Sam how much a loaf of bread costs and she can't tell him bc she doesn't know #she's an activist but also look me in the eyes and tell me she knows how much stuff at the grocery store costs #rich girl advocate sam vs crime alley kid danny FIGHT #does sam genuinely care about her beliefs and philosophies? survey says yes. however that doesn't mean she's not ignorant #cfau danny calls her privileged once and sam turns a new shade of red #this isn't sam hate btw i wanna make that explicitly clear #she's great i love her hOWEVER i am not blind to her flaws and i think it gets ignored by fanon AND canon in favor of girlbossing her #this also brings up the idea that Sam (based on her releasing the gorilla) would either respect damian wayne or HATE him bc she's judgy #and one of her flaws is her moral superiority over others. how very christian of you Sam - and i know she's jewish. thats part of the irony #he'd open an animal rehabilitation center and she'd assume the absolute worst. its hilarious. Damian would eat her alive #im taking a bat to a hornet's nest i think

Nothing is more hilarious to me than the absolutely unhinged hate reviews for this film by critics.

“I went to a movie about giant monsters fighting and I’m mad that I watched giant monsters fight.”

“I’m mad my monster movie wasn’t filled with enough symbolism. I went in expecting a film exactly like Godzilla Minus One.”

“Godzilla films were never meant to be silly fun! I should know, I watched one other one. All the others should be exactly like it!”

“I fell asleep during the movie and I’m too embarrassed to admit it.”

The only critic to bother doing his fucking homework! Thank you!!!

#Godzilla #go home critics #you’re embarrassing yourself #let them fight #a pile of gorillas two lizards and a moth have a two-hour cage fight #that’s it #that’s the film

[ruubesz-draws]

Kong takes drastic(?) measures...

Godzilla is confused (and uncomfortable)

Fun fact! Apparently, gorillas avoid eye contact unless they want a fight lmao.

Please read this post for more context

*DO NOT REPOST MY ART*

#godzilla #kong #godzilla vs kong #jia #yeah kong is monke hehe #or gorilla #when kong does not make eye contact #it means he no wanna fight #so he's doing his best to avoid it #but somehow got more awkward and uncomfortable for Godzilla... #godzilla took that personally #he's also offended #how dare that monke show is butt to my face??!?! #this was a nice opportunity to draw kong's cake lol #you always mention his butt so i took this as an opportunity to emphasise his butt for you all <3 #lol #poor godzilla tho #do not repost #my art

well yeah i got treated like a sex freak for changing in the bathroom stalls growing up. so i learned fairly early that bigots aren't moved by logical inconsistency

#anyone who tries to reason with them is fighting such a losing battle like why are you doing this baby gorilla #personal nonsense

#I was talking to some buddies about lies of p and sekiro and how LoP’s defense as offense mentality helped get into sekiro #but then how sekiro overwrote that mentality with its own “offense is the best defense” mentality #or “hesitate and you lose” as Grandpappy isshin would say #and how the switch for the change for me was genichiro who I think is one of the best designed bosses in gaming #you CAN’T play too defensively with him because he’s happy to pepper you with arrows from a distance #and then the moment comes when you realize your sword interrupts his bow attacks sekiro truly begins as a game #lady butterfly is also a good fight but all her moves bring her to you so there’s less incentive to be as aggressive #vs genny baby who will back off and fire off his bow if you let him #this isn’t even like a video of me playing perfectly but I LOVE getting my feudal edgelord corner stunned and just bursting him down #I kinda hate the owl shinobi fight bc he hits too hard and his attacks just aren’t interesting to react to #but it’s also possible to corner stun him and just go to town on his health bar #owl father and inner father are much better fights and I actually really enjoyed inner father a lot #but the Ashina family fights are absolutely stunning achievements in game design imo #perfectly balanced to be difficult but fair and visually stunning to boot #even if there is a layer of artificial difficulty in the final battle with the flowers obscuring their swords when they’re crouched #but the animations are solid enough that there are enough other more subtle differences like how hes shifting his weight #if he’s centered he’s going to lunge but if he’s angled he’s gonna sweep #I had so much fun with LoP and sekiro 🥰🥰🥰 I crave more… #I can’t say the combat in Elden ring gorilla gripped me like these two games have but I like HAVE to play dark souls I know this #sekiro #tsuchi plays games

Saxton is the type of guy to say “his pronouns are they/them” about Pyro 100% genuinely.

#tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 saxton hale #tf2 pyro #shitpost #text post #idk but I feel like you’d tell Saxton that you’re nb and he’d just be like #‘​…I ever tell you about the time I fought a YETI-?’ #like ‘alright! wanna help me punch this gorilla?!’ #he wouldn’t care but not in a mean way in a ‘that doesn’t inform my opinion of your character’ way #also that dude moves a mile a minute he wouldn’t have time to stop and think about it #you tell him and it’s on to the next thing #he just accepts it at face value and asks questions later #he and Scout are fighting the ADHD War I stg #he doesn’t get it but he tries

[acepalindrome]

Thanksgiving is bullshit for a number of reasons but at least I have my annual relisten of the NADDPOD Donkey Kong Bananksgiving episode.

#one of my favorite parts is murph cracking up in the middle of dumping his very dramatic donkey kong lore #my other favorite parts is hardwon fighting a gorilla because he didn’t want to tell donkey kong his initials #for absolutely no reason #naddpod

Today, the gorillas were clearly very frustrated in being cooped up inside. (Unlike me, they could not check their phones and realize it was 30F out there; they just kept running up to the glass door---open during the summer---and slapping it with their palms.) And this frustration resulted in a lot of engrossing activity! The two youngest played with each other for a bit, then one started messing with some of the loose hay and the other switched to bugging the giant adult male. The adult male ignored him as best he could, then started a kind of hide-and-chase game. One of the adult females was working out some frustration on the loose hay and an empty plastic food container.

At one point, I had wedged myself in a sort of corner with my camera, but one of the younger gorillas noticed me, and before I could blink he was dangling from the ropes directly in front of me, staring. And I---

I said hello and waved. Like this was a toddler I caught looking at me in church. I waved and then wondered why I’d done that, but truthfully that was my first instinct.

I try not to humanize animals (it’s not useful or accurate) but it was very, very hard not to see something decidedly human in those gorillas. And I felt strangely uneasy walking away, out the doors, and into the sunlight.

#literally I was watching all this unfold and couldn't stop thinking '''......this is a family stuck in great aunt lisa's house #for some holiday. dinner is over and it's too cold to go outside so everybody's bored and cousin frank is going to pick a fight #aunt masie is falling asleep in a corner #while little jimmy begs 'daddy play with me' over and over until he gives in.'' #it was SUCH an incredibly strong impression. I still can't quite shake it. #also the gorillas have thin rings of whitish scelera which means every time they glance at you sidelong #they have humanlike eyes. it's unsettling! uncanny valley in real life. #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

Kinda bummed cause I didn't get a chance to talk much with any of the other con fgc tournament volunteers, and the Strive bracket was full so couldn't play and get to know people that way either. But at the very least seem to have made a good impression regardless, which will be good for when I run into anyone at the locals they told me about.

#Seem to have become infamous for my cool as hell fight stick with the 8 pound spring and shortest possible throw #Lots of people borrowed it from the controller library but nobody could use it 😅 #A whole little crowd began to clamor when I started packing it up #Shocked to learn I was the owner and desperate to know why anyone would have such an evil fucked up controller #My dear I simply have that gorilla grip I said #Before crushing their hand like an empty soda can one after another to demonstrate #For reference the stock springs are 1 pound

every time i scroll past pics or gifs of leon from death island, the first thought in my head is always

“wow he’s really lost weight”

and not in like a... “good for him”/”he looks good” kinda way

in a

“dude is he okay” kind of way

like especially this official render of him

he looks like shit. it’s not just his arms, either. his hips, thighs, and waistline all look really small (for him).

he’s supposed to be 37-38 in this movie. he looks like he’s in his late 40s/early 50s.

and then a little voice in the back of my head pipes up and is like

“he’s an ALCOHOLIC. at this point in his life, over half of his daily caloric intake comes from whiskey, you fuckin idiot”

and then i’m like “oh. oh yeah.”

and that’s probably why the layers and jackets almost never come off post-RE4 lmao RE6 is the most healthy he’s been in the years following RE4, because he actually had, like. a real friend in the months leading up to that game in adam benford. but then leon has to shoot him in the face and it’s back to the whiskey for him.

#resident evil #leon kennedy #i maintain my stance that leon is aging the worst out of all of the mainline RE cast #and chris used to be a fucking smoker canonically #maybe still smokes sometimes idk it's unclear #but leon is like #canonically and visually wasting the fuck away #and the only person who ever cares enough to say anything to him about it is chris #but chris is also an emotionally stunted gorilla #and so those conversations just turn into baby bitch fights #and leon's too much of a myopic drunk depressed sack of shit to realize that chris's little tantrums are actually his love language #but literally no one in his life cares more about him than chris redfield does #and leon's too stupid to fucking see it lmao

Been feeling the summer vibes, so I made a pic of the Splits at the beach!

Some Beach Day headcanons:

-Fleegle always plans the trip METICULOUSLY a week before it actually happens

- Fleegle insists they get there before 9 am to get a good spot, and wakes everyone up before the sun is even up

-Fleegle loves playing frisbee fetch with Drooper and Snorky

-Snorky always builds the most extravagant sand sculptures, and loves making Drooper and Bingo into mermaids

-Snorky has an amazing talent for balancing extra tall ice cream cones

-Drooper loves the beach, but hates shaking sand out of his mane for the next two days. Still never says no to Snorky burying him.

-Drooper's favorite part of beach day is playing his instrument while watching the sunset. Sometimes if he gets a big enough crowd around him, he'll perform a few songs. (Most likely This Spot. I HC that he and Bingo wrote that one together)

-Bingo absolutely has used his Banana Buggy to try and pick up beach babes. Rarely is he successful.

-Bingo's favorite trick is to make one of the other guys look away, then take a bite out of their ice cream and blame it on the seagulls. He hasn't been caught yet, which is frankly quite astounding.

We definitely do not go into the aches and pains and issues that the Chimera crew probably have to deal with like. At all.

Darius probably has it the easiest, because the skeleton of a gorilla is the closet to that of a human, but Heinkel, Jerso, and Zampano? Those are completely different skeletal systems, not to  mention whatever the FUCK Zampano has going on with his back spike attacks.

These are four men whose bodies are in high physicality as humans, but as Chimeras do their bones grind, break, and reform? Do their muscles tear and regrow each time? How many of those animals instincts are drawn over and across from their Chimera form to their human form?

Does Darius avoid eye contact in order to show that he’s not a threat when he’s not fighting? Does Jerso have issues regulating his body temperature because frogs are cold-blooded? Was Zampano’s need for glasses because of the fact that boars have horrible eyesight and that carried over? Does Heinkel find himself eating much more than the others would and primarily meat?

To the other’s diet’s change even more as well?
