#i got a lot of side characters here

[waterwindow]

the difference between what people like on twitter vs what people like on tumblr from me is kinda mind blowing

#like this latest pic is the biggest discrepancy #people on twitter love it when i talk about the game or try to make a smart subtle commentary about it #but on tumblr people really dont seem to care or understand tf2 the game or rocket jumping or things like that- which is fine #thats why i have both #i just feel like I get more people who openly come and talk to me about that sort of thing here on tumblr #vs barely getting anything nearly as curious or engaged on twitter #yet the notes do be wilding for gaming stuff compared to here #i couldn't really tell you what does better on tumblr compared to twitter tho #but ye just interesting #i wonder what it is about twitter thats got more gaming people #its probably an age thing #this isn't me complaining btw i just see it a lot and i find it fascinating #by in large i'd assume the tumblr fanbase care more for the characters themselves and not the state of the game or how it feels to play it #Its nice to see two different sides ot a fanbase

I think people don't appreciate how much heavy lifting ROTSQ did for both DBK and Red Son's arcs

#like we see here that their main motivations are each other #Like #DBK indulged Red Son's wish to start a food truck #It was also SWK insulting DBK's family that enabled him to you know. Break out of their bindings #Red Son finally got a win #The father son relationship was improved #And like. The moment you help Red Son save his family he is in your court #Literally why he's saving MK and Mei and Sandy in 3x06 (1x10 + ROTSQ did him in) #it's about the like #''not that any of you would care'' to ''you and the noodle boy will stop at nothing to free them'' pipeline #Also why Red Son followed Mei in s3 #idk this is me disagreeing with ''They abandoned the DBF's arcs'' takes #I'm like #no they didn't asdfasfdadsf #We have plenty #And they're side characters #I could talk a lot about the DBF but my tag rants are long enough #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk rant #lmk DBF #lmk DBK #lmk Red Son

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

#thinkin too much about gortie side characters again. #sally this time and why she specifically talks about him the way she does #like dravo is obviously still shitty but to me he was. ‘just ‘neglectful #while sally actively hated and even felt terrorised by her own child #like. it’s not like i don’t understand her at all. #imagine you and your love don’t have much besides each other and your shop and you get pregnant and ready to raise a child #only for it to not be a child he didn’t and doesn’t cry ever and he learns everything so much sooner than most but then he never calls you #his parents and it’s not just a petty thing kids do sometimes you feel that he doesn’t see you as family and the worst part is that you #agree deep down #and as he gets older he doesn’t have any friends and actively rejects the notion of the entire concept #but then as time passes you hear about how he has entire groups of children following him and then several of them commit suicide #and that thing coming to sit with you and dravo at the dinner table says that he did what you did last week when the axe to chop wood broke #and you discarded it and got a new one #and he has these habits of ripping out flowers and making sure that they don’t regrow #and then you hear rumours about a friend’s daughter’s cat disappearing and think nothing of it #until you visit his tree house a month later and find a declawed cat and birds with clipped wings and crushed bugs that he keeps fondly #and then you see him with other children and they don’t know and his face is different and body language is entirely different #and were it not for the fact that you know better you would never see anything but a normal child #and you know that you are one who painstakingly brought this thing that should not be into the world and so you decide to end it all one da #and go to him as he’s asleep with the knife shaking in your hand #but he cries when you’re above him! screams at the top of his lungs! #so you beg for forgiveness even though you don’t deserve it through tears but as soon as the knife is put away you see the act drop and fee #his clever fingers having twisted your brain inside and out and you know that you can do nothing #and so the opportunity arises to at least remove him out of your life if not everyone’s lives and you take it immediately. #but you heard him talk. how he will close his fist around the world one day. and you know that it is not a matter of if but when. #like. imagine that. jesus dude. #like i hc her as someone that is messy and does not know a lot about life and she certainly wouldn’t have been a good mother but the love #or at least desire to love is there somewhere. and believing that having a child is really the only somewhat meaningful thing she can do #with her life. she’s not some hero or rich or anything of note. so there’s a lot obligation and not genuine desire for family here. #but she never really got the chance to be an actual mother in the first place so. who knows what that might have looked like

Traintober Day 3: Twins

“Hads you some Scottish twins angst”

“Thinking about my au and how Donald’s and Douglas entire story would work and I’m still not sure if adding this but in honor of traintober day 3:twins here it goes so here since my au is following more of sos storyline but still has rws/tv series tidbits the same thing still happens the twins flee to sodor scratched off the numbers but since it’s instead mr.Zorro and Mr.Starr, who are in charge has the two companies have not been melded together yet and despite mr.Zorro gruffness even he wouldn’t sent them back to a uncertain future and after talking about it with Mr Starr and within their respective engines they both agree on taking one of the twins for each of their respective companies Donald goes with nor’easters while Douglas with the midis.

So despite both twins being eventually purchased and thereby saved, they still end up “separated” from each other yes they can see each other it’s not forbidden but their coworkers fierce rivalry between each other separate company among other reasons slowly but surely begins to influence the twins themselves douglas is caught up in more criminal activities even with a guest nearly gone wrong (sorry Colin!!) and as a result of his coworkers toxic influence (diesel, Adam, Stanley mainly) the latter two who were against having him for personal reasons he began to like the independence forming bonds with those from similar origins/railway(Emily), those giving him a warm reception (Lily, Colin) or just those who welcomed him regardless of the whole rivalry(Peter, later Reginald).

Both receive praise and attention though I feel like Douglas more so felt a slight need to become one of the midis thanks to his coworkers’s attitude towards him like yes he’ll defend himself but it’s better to make friends than enemies when you’re the new guy with Mr.Zorro having favoritism and watching your every move combined with some rather unpleasant encounters from the nor”Easter’s side (mainly James who also unintentionally stains Donald rep but doesn’t say anything on it) I feel like a fight would come when Douglas come in painted blue as a reward where he is finally accepted into the midis where slowly but surely the cracks begin to show from when their visits to one another become sacred, withholding secrets (mainly on douglas’s side cause let’s be real I’m pretty sure no one wants to tell anyone you’re involved with criminal activity) just drifting apart from the brother you once thought you knew your entire life until it all eventually comes crashing down.

of course this is still a work in progress but this idea would be quite interesting. Reference:

the issue with the prime!sonic shenanigans is the fact that. i agree with the twitter users but they r taking it too seriously. like yeah i agree, sonic wouldn't be too open with his affection and emotions, yeah i agree that the folks on the crew saying it's canon to the mainline thing should've showed it through the actual writing, yeah this kind of characterization goes against the point of the show, yeah they kinda maybe nerfed sonic etc etc

but here's the THING tho: it's not that serious? i can point out 300 other mischaracterizations that are 10000x more serious. like, sonic is going to be the type of character that changes thru time to match the demands of whoever they wanna cater to. it's obvious. and for sonic prime? didn't one of the crew of this show straight up say that yeah they are targeting a younger audience but still allow longtime fans to have a piece of the cake. it's obvious from the absurd amount of flashbacks, it's obvious from the dialogue. i think this is just smth thay they think the kids want, most esp with the sonic films.

Yeah, you can be upset that ur fave version of this character might get lost to time. yeah, you can be critical of the show and the way it handles everything. but lord almightyyyy this is a cartoon hedgehog!!!!! this is not thay serious!!! talk about it but don't be a bitch about it oh my godddd

#sucks to be on the side where they're just. fucking toxic as hell like. #sonic prime isn't my fav sonic either!!!! but he's fun and cute!!!!! stop being a bitch please plemakdiskzjsksjd #u can talk abt it w/o being mean #bc i'm pr sure i've talked abt this So.ewhere #prbly not on here tho #maybe just a ramble w friends #bit even if noone But them saw i still didn't be a bitch abt it #i just. idk dude #sth #sonic prime #sonic the hedgehog #it's so funny seeing fans be up in a frenzy over this kinda mischaracterization #meanwhile amy got mischaracterized to hell and back— with writers just playing w misogynistic tropes— just for her to suddenly be the #annoying girl #but also there r peoplw being annoyed of this version of prime!sonic while i keep seeing a lot of nd fans rlly relating to him... #please look inwards 🙏 #like this shit isn't a barbara gordon situation or some shit this is the writers emphasizing other traits and just playing around w #the Character Settings Sliders of sonic #hnnndjshdjsj whatever #people are abnoying god bless

the majority of the people who were upset with aziraphale for lying to crowley at the bandstand in season 1 did not understand his character or his situation. and many of them are upset with him again after season 2. because they still don't understand his character or his situation. btw.

#good omens #i have so many thoughts like you wouldn't believe #i don't share them on here much but that post about working in aziraphale apologism mines got to me #like yeah i'm an aziraphale apologism miner and i should dig a little #i might start with season 1 bandstand scene because so many people fundamentally misunderstand what happened there #there's lots of people who relate to crowley out there but you guys should maybe try to relate to aziraphale a little idk #and see things from his perspective #i have never ever seen a character more relatable than aziraphale tbh and it's a bit funny to see how many people just don't get him #my post #i might have to elaborate later because i have a lot to say #but the point is no he did NOT ''betray'' crowley at the bandstand #because at no point was he working with him for their own side until he explicitly defied orders in heaven send post

[words-be-upon-ye]

There are a couple tropes I really love in the space of Miraculous Ladybug fan works, but quite possibly my favorite is when the miraculous holders just get creature from using their powers.

Like yeah, I would say that hosting the power of an abstract concept given sentience, that got shoved into the shape of an animal and bound to a piece of jewelry, would kinda mess with your body a bit.

The little bit of this we get in canon is basically that Adrien loves being a cat and the whole Tikki munches incident.

But I love it when people give them ears and wings and tails, give them eyes that aren't quite human anymore. Fuck with their gender and their sense of body. Sometimes it's body horror, sometimes it's just aesthetic. Love it either way.

I just think it's so fun, a lot of the time it's combined with the like "when a holder and the kawami really respect and bond with each other there's nothing that can be done except having magic bleed into the holder" I think that's fun, but also just making the animal of the kwami a bigger deal is fun. Like if you're going to make it a ladybug you might as well give her wings and antenna and mirrored eyes.

#yes I do like ml #there's just so many characters I like to mess with in my head #also sue me I'm trans and have a certain respect for body horror. for the forced change of your physical self especially when you chose it #anyway I alwasys ramble in the tags #I set up this side blog to hide random writing thoughts I had and oh boy do I have a lot and none of them are on here #and recenetly (and by recently I mean like the past year) I've been hit with so many ml thoughts) #they're all gay #and some of them are cohesive #actually a lot of them revolve around chloe and au's where she gets a meaningful improvement arc #give that gay girl intresting stuff #miraculous ladybug #ml #although one of my ideas is also my very fun very gender take of ml where to conceal their identities ladybug and chat start pretending #to be different people under the masks like they don't need to like explicitly say. they just #switch costumes a lot and they like slyly hint at maybe theres dozens of people who pass around the miraculous to make sure that their #Identities are always safe #and to support the act they also start changing the genders they present as as holders. everyone is like “it's clearly multiple people” #and during this process marinette and Adrien are both like slowly having personal gender revelations #and gabe is like tearing his hair out over having to fight this secret group of superheros that he can never find or catch #but he's still just getting his ass kicked by two kids who're doing the world's most successful costumes change bits #it's like those “fake dating” tropes where they're like “oh but we really do love each other” but with gender #“oh I've got a great idea lets pretend to be different genders sometimes” #cut to “hmh ok so I think I'm not pretending anymore” #oh I do always ramble in the tags

This isn't necessary canon, the whole horn bit, but it's what made me curious

#sky rambles #i cant edit the poll so I'm throwing this here lol #it's a random thought since I find it interesting #I got attached to Tiso thanks to fan content and not the in game stuff #I rambled about it before but I feel his personality could have made him an interesting character #nothing wrong with his simple prence of 'full of himself and disregarding others and their thoughts' #who ends up the way he does in the game #but it doesn't really add anything while it felt like it should? #i guess I was personally dissatisfied #the way Cloth was handled without a lot of intrusion was much better #and I get with Tiso it could have been Cloth 2.0 if he wasn't so one sided like he is in the game #but feels off man #maybe it's just me *shug*

thinking about my left behind 60s villain to the creeper proteus

#they were kinda gay. #the problem with getting into older comics is that now theyre largely irrelevant #like what do you mean the creeper is actually a demon. thats just jack getting into acting wdym #i am glad though that the proteus storyline got wrapped up before beware the creeper got cancelled #read beware the creeper 1968 its only 6 issues #also for his backstory read showcase 73 beforehand cause they do not explain his deal lol #it seems a lot of stuff afterwards makes the creeper into this wacky guy as a whole #but really the things that make him unnerving like his laugh and how he acts is literally jack acting #you can see him thinking in the moment about what would freak out other people i like it. hes kinda discovering he likes acting? in a way? #like ofc they dont go in depth or anything but in the issues he kinda gets into the swing of his acting and having it come more naturally t #him. i feel like the creeper could be used as like. another side to him hes discovering that he didnt know was there and accepting #IF one were to go in depth and do a whole character study. on. 6 comic issues. but the basis is there! #theres also. his whole costume. yeah he has genders. theres something here. READ HIS COMICS. #i speak #dc #jack ryder #proteus

you know i really love that priest wrote that wcx dresses masculine and deepens her voice to pass as a man. there's really no reason at all for wcx to do this, she's long past the point where her grandfather dressed her like that for her protection, but she does it anyways because she just prefers to present herself this way, AND its consistently brought up by the narrative and not forgotten or pushed to the side. i genuinely appreciate it a whole lot :)

#pip speaks #unsolicited tai sui opinions #hi. read tai sui. we have gender here #also wcx got a wife. like idk if it'll be canon yet but they live together and had the funniest possible meetcute #im obsessed with them #women <3 #wcx continues to be the coolest tai sui character #i really like the cool noir detectives pj has but you know what he doesnt have? gender and a vengeance arc. so wcx wins. #i feel like normally when a character is written as presenting themself as a man it's both under duress and something they want to escape #+being able to present themselves in a more feminine way is shown as being liberating by the narrative and then its never brought up again #which is perfectly fine!! and can be done really well AND also has its own fun gender stuff #but like. i also really like it when they continue to present themselves masculine because thats just what they prefer #there's a lot of things tai sui does that i like a lot #normally thoughts like these get slapped onto my side twitter account (zapphalt) but i went over the word count #and apparently i have more to say than i thought. oops @ these tags

#mj talks #*whiteknuckling my hands* i am usually better than this but. please. #why is jasico so controversial??? like for real???? #starting to get to the point where i see Adult Women Shouldn't Be In Fandom takes and realize they mean Me #?????????? no interests??????? #i track the tag for silly headcanons and art #i once wrote a fic about jason getting so flustered he couldn't control his whole Flying thing because. get this. #nico just held his hand. depraved. #anyway the post i saw that made me mad asked why all jasico shippers were adults and side eyed us for that #but then seemed annoyed at the answers and their tags blatantly said dont follow me i dont like you #i wanted to answer because i had an answer! i have an answer and that answer is #most jasico shippers are adults because we were a lot closer to the target age range when house of hades came out #and house of hades was The Jasico Book #the year gap between when HoH and BoO was when jasico was at its peak and there was SO MUCH creativity going on #we looked at those characters and read the signs and saw they would be good together! they would complement each other! #recognition of self through the other is what it's all about! #and then nico got a canon boyfriend and most people jumped ship overnight lol #the people left who still ship jasico are here bc we genuinely like Them together and we think about their characters #this is not the roving white boys fandom. there is a different ship for those people. #also we may be older bc ive noticed that a lot of younger fans dont interact w their fandoms in the same way #like. fighting for ships to be canon and getting into vicious online debate about it #and thinking that a ship is a joke/worth nothing if it wasnt canon #*old man on a porch voice* back in my day you shipped characters on your own time and you didn't give a shit about canon #like. does kirk/spock mean nothing to you. how many of the top ao3 pairings are actually canon #talking more specific here but i met a person who liked a lot of the same things i did but when i got into like critique of the piece #or thinking about how i would have told it different or just like brainstorming fun 'what if' scenarioes #she was like. 'oh i like this because its canon. ive never thought about that before' #she was not that much younger than me!!! and she engaged in Zero critical thought or fun nonsense! #THAT'S WHAT FANDOM IS! CRITICAL THOUGHT AND FUN NONSENSE! #huh maybe i was actually annoyed at her the whole time and needed to get it off my chest

while I've kind of moved out of the 'needs to talk about it All the Time' territory I am delighted to discover that haikyuu is still so beloved to me that every time I see a character from it I get a massive surge of affection like. yes those are my boys your honour. yes all 573748 of them. kissing all of them on top of their heads and tucking them in as we speak.

#i stumbled across an amazing haikyuu artist on here and got so excited i queued up a bunch of stuff that will probably kick in on uhh #wednesday? #i'm still just floored at how there are SO MANY characters and yet even a lot of minor/side characters are bursting with personality #furudate you mad lad how did you do it #cannot fathom having to juggle that many characters at once and doing it WELL #magic.... #i still need to finish the manga tho skfjdj #jan 2023 #hq!!
