#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

I don't think that zosan would ever really be the type to be easily jealous. Like sure Sanji can get 'jealous' over Zoro's swords but that's like the only time Sanji is ever worried about the attention his marimo is giving to something else. And Zoro knows how the love cook can be and that the way he treats women is just how he's always going to be. They're both very secure in their relationship and have never had a time where they felt like they had to protect it from another person.

However, I do think that Sanji tries to get Zoro to be jealous sometimes. It's just nice to be desired and what better way for Zoro to show that than public displays of jealousy? It never works though, as previously mentioned, Zoro knows Sanji. He trusts him and knows whatever attraction he shows to someone is usually all for show.

There is only one time where Zoro has ever gotten close to real possessiveness and it was like, the one time Sanji wasn't trying. He and Usopp made a stupid bet on some island and the loser was supposed to wear a dress to some little party the straw hats were invited to. When Sanji loses, he figures he might as well go all out and really dress up for it. It's been a long time since he's had to wear a dress and he does find it fun if he's in the right mood. So he has Nami and Robin help him pick something out and do his make up. When they show up everyone is kind of in shock because wow Sanji looks really good.

No one is used to him looking like that and it's not like Sanji really told them how he spent those two years apart from them. But the night goes well, he basks in all the compliments he gets and dances around and shows off. He doesn't really pay attention to what Zoro is doing until they get a few hours into the night and suddenly he's looming over Sanji where ever he goes. He keeps a hand on Sanji at all times, either on his back or his hand and he pulls Sanji in to sit with him constantly. At first he thinks that maybe Zoro is just tipsy and in the mood to cuddle, but then he starts to notice the way he'll interrupt someone if they've been talking to Sanji for too long, or he'll drag Sanji back to the crew and try to get him to stay at their table.

It makes Sanji want to see how long he can drag it out, see if Zoro can get jealous over the amount of eyes on him. Zoro puts up with it like a champ. Because at the end of the night, he knows who Sanji is going home with. But when the night does end and they get in bed Zoro is very clingy. Sanji wakes up late the next morning and everyone politely ignores the fact that he's wearing a turtle neck despite the heat.

#zosan #one piece #sanji #zoro #i think when sanji's plans to make zoro jealous fail he's a total drama queen about it #he goes into what i like to call *damsel mode* #he whines around for a while and zoro is just like 'you love me too much to cheat' #seeing him in a dress triggers something in zoro's monkey brain tho #it's less of like a jealous type of possession and more so a pride in how gorgeous his partner is #he wants to make sure he's right next to sanji at all times so he can be like 'yeah look at this pretty boy he's allll mine'

Is damsel a perfect movie? No. Would I watch it again? Yes. Look, I’m a simple person, give me a dragon, cool costumes, and Hanz Zimmer, and I’ll be happy.

vi is so fucking fascinating to me, I am studying her like a bug in a jar

she was a CHILD putting on her father's gauntlets in spite of the fear gathered in her little body, in spite of just witnessing someone she's known all her life die in a HORRIFIC way (benzo), still she rises, still she says I HAVE TO DO THIS still she takes on men three times her size and fucks them up so bad that silco has to send his shimmered up fucked up monster to try to stop her and STILL she persists, indifferent to the worst happening because she’s survived the worst already. furious and unstoppable and determined to do whatever she has to survive and ensure those she loves survive, no matter the cost.

vi under all that debris, bruised, bleeding, screaming, watching her family die, staring at the monkey head in shock and crying because this can't be happening, they were so close...

sobbing in pain until her father saves her just to watch helpless as he dies protecting her. they were so SO CLOSE to surviving, so close to escaping and everything gets ripped away in a second

vi trapped in that prison cell for years and years on end with the ghosts of her family and her guilt for company, drowning in guilt, wondering if her sister's still alive, no doubt thinking about how she LET her slip right through her fingers

the last thing vander said to her was "take care of powder"

she's let the man who's her FATHER and loves more than anything down.

"whatever happens is on you" / "protect the family" / "take care of powder" .... but she can't, not anymore, she's fucked it up and let everyone down (re "I should have been there for you, for everyone") all she can do is sit in that shitty prison cell, on that freezing floor, hungry, bloody, counting the hours until she can somehow rescue powder

Vi is piercings and tats that no doubt got infected, she's a child becoming a woman too fast, she is a danger-zone high-risk disaster area and won't back down, won't give up.

Vi is soft!! self-sacrificing, protective, supportive. ("You wanna talk about today?", "We've all had bad days, but we learn, and we stick together") brave, SMART, witty. she's got a tongue sharp as her fists and a barbed, delicious sense of humour. she gives people nicknames (cupcake, pow pow, pretty boy) and fights with everything that she's got to protect what she loves!!!! she is her father's daughter!!!

she is idealistic and expects the world to see her reason, look at things through her eyes and wanna make a change ( "This is how things are, how they've always been. I was so stupid to think it could change. / "oil and water that's all there is" )

and yes! vi is not flawless. she's obsessive (re sevika. to her eyes she is the last thing standing between her and silco/getting to silco and saving jinx) and complicated, morally ambivalent because she makes mistakes, flies off the handle like a comet crashing through everything in her way, makes reckless choices because she has to. she is selfish when it comes to jinx and would do anything to keep her safe.

also

look at the way she hugs the people she cares about!!!

#“vi left powder” LISTEN vi was a baby too!! she just witnessed her entire family DIE. for the second time. #she was SHOCKED and traumatized! she left for one MINUTE and was dragged away to a shitty hole even deeper than the one shes grown up in! #“she keeps going after sevika” LOOK idk how to tell you that sevika represents the ultimate betrayal to her idealistic ass #also i love how BADASS she is yet her inability to let things GO and #furious dedication to jinx gets her in so much trouble. #that cait ends up having to save this dramatic damsel in distress from herself like! THEIR DYNAMIC #UGHHHH I LOVE HER BYE she is everything to me #vi arcane #arcane vi #arcane brainrot tag #arcane #one girl wrecking crew

the original draft version of the first avenger script is available online and as someone who is desperate for every crumb of mcu steve content i can get, here’s a list of some of the lines and moments i wish they had kept in the finalized version of the film.

1. steve saying both his parents were fighters (and he is too).

2. steve suggesting they go to church and bucky just going ‘hmmmm….no thanks’.

3. this is the one that makes me feel most insane: steve mentioning that sarah used to let him stand on her feet and dance with her in their apartment when he was small.

4. this line that validates my long-held headcanon that steve doesn’t actually know how to swim before the serum and only learns on the fly after.

5. the train/fall scene originally having bucky take the shield and jump in front of a shot meant for steve + steve actually being able to grab his hand and pull him in for a split second.

6. this explanation of the dynamic between steve and bucky of bucky always being steve’s lifeline/anchor and how that stayed the same even after the serum.

7. :(

#i love him so much GOD #the train/fall scene would have been sm more painful if we saw steve actually catch him for a second #like #man #and the wading in/all i had to do was hold him scene ? #ROBBED #IT EXPLAINS THEIR DYNAMIC SO WELL #AND PEOPLE ALWAYS GET IT WRONG BUT MAYBE THIS WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM SEE #bucky is not a damsel in distress he will always be steves protector in some ways #anyways #steve rogers #stucky #stevebucky

Zora Prompt: Zora OC My brain: A ZORA NAMED LINK FOR FORSAKEN ZELDA TO FIND

Zelda: Ok, I got another lead! This one is a bit different, though. Gerudo Link: Oh? Zelda: He's in Zora's Domain. Link: The--Princess, that's hostile territory, not to mention we have to climb waterfalls to get to it and-- Zelda: *clapping her hands together* I never back down from a challenge! Let's go!

Turns out they have to sneak in disguised as a Zora, and the best idea Zelda came up with was to sit on Gerudo Link's shoulders while they wear a trench coat cloak with sunglasses the hood on.

#forsaken au #I love these two so freaking much #I have another idea where Zelda's trying to lure Mystery Link out #and the best way to do it is to have a damsel in distress because clearly a Hero can't say no to that!! #so she makes Gerudo Link the damsel #I HAVE to write that one oh my gosh

I just want to say you were my first introduction to slay the princess so I partially blame you for my current hyperfixation/j thank you I am deranged over eldritch horror princess and Just Some Guy eldritch horror bird (they are everything to me)

OH I will ask: who is your favourite princess/voice and why? Mine is voice of the contrarian bc he just like me fr, and thorn bc 🫶🫶

WOO glad you're into it! Definitely up there with my favorite games of all time

god I'm gonna have to give you a list. this was a much much longer answer because I have several paragraphs to say for Many Of My Favorites but I'll spare this blog the vomit for now until I can structure parts of it better

fave princesses: Witch and all its routes, Specter and all its routes, Nightmare and all its routes

Fave voices: Stubborn, Skeptic, Smitten. special shout-out to Opportunist for consistently having the best dialogue in the game tho, he sucks and I love him so much

Favorite routes: Razor, Thorn, Damsel

LEGITIMATELY it's so hard to pick but for the sake of giving Some explanation, the razor has to be my favorite for how it exists as the purest subversion of both the story the game is telling (which is itself a subversion of classic monsterslaying fairy tales) and it sort of has to get kind of meta, but it leans into it SO joyously. you as the protagonist being constantly split because the story plot twisted itself so fucking hard that it just. Broke Everything

and the result is absurd and horrifying and slips away from any kind of growth or cogency until both protagonists are stripped completely bare, and it's weird and it's hilarious and no one is having a good time except for the very AGENT of shifting perspectives, no longer constrained by any world or singular force that matters!

and also. How could I not pick the route that gave us The Look™.

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND MY HANDS ARE SO SMALL AND COLD #stubborn is right tho. she is the Perfect Woman #i have a soft spot for damsel and thorn for reasons very similar to each other and a lot less interesting haha #fairy tales and romantic heroes were a childhood fixation of mine and that drew me to the game in the first place #the damsel and the smitten are so fucking silly. i love the idea of THOSE two being unleashed on the world #literal gods who can remake reality because they adore each other so much with all the innocence of disney teenagers. like #DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW CATASTROPHIC THAT WOULD BE FOR THE WORLD? #THEYRE SO STUPID. THEYRE GODS. HIS FIRST ACT AS A FREE MAN WAS TO TRY AND PLUCK ALL HIS FEATHERS TO MAKE HER A COAT WHEN SHE FELT CHILLY #IM CONVINCED THEY WOULD MELT EVERYTHING #Okay im done for now i mean it this time #i wrote all this on the clock<3 #edit: dont get me started on the narrator also. I forgive him

idk maybe it’s just me but i’m a bit annoyed that so many prompts on whumpblr need to have a whumper in them. don’t get me wrong, i get the appeal and i do like whump with whumpers in it sometimes but there’s so much you can do without one and it feels like most people just ignore it

#probably an unpopular opinion #whumpers are never as interesting to me as the whumpees and caretakers #i also feel like the over-the-top cruelness people usually write whumpers with is hard to take seriously #like they always have some snarky sadistic line that makes them feel so artificial #at that point they might as well twirl their moustache and… idk tie a damsel in distress onto a railroad track #i suppose i’m expecting a bit much from prompts/drabbles but idk #but more power to you if you love whumpers #whumpblr #also sorry for almost never posting and when i do it’s this ^^; #it’s just something that’s been on my mind a bit

Din wakes up from a 48 hour nap once a month to Bo-Katan politely telling him what recent danger she saved him from and how Grogu played a major part in it. It’s little brother rights babey.

#star wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #bo katan kryze #you guys are so insane I love him being a pathetic wet cat #idk why everyone complains so much boy been getting saved since episode one #the minute he gets a repeat savior yall call damsel he’s always been a damsel!!!!!! #im sorry but your big strong Mando is an unfailingly polite idiot who doesn’t wanna lead and gets beat up #he’s been doing all that since episode one and you really are insane if you don’t think so #it’s right there in the show!!!! he likes other cultures and languages and people!!! he’s a loving person!!! #he’s also an idiot who needs more special awareness cause it’s been getting his ass kicked since episode one also

The Equalizer (1985): season 2 episode 21: Hand and Glove

#gif log #the equalizer 1985 #william zabka #scott mccall #edward woodward #robert mccall #I love that Robert drove Scott's cute car #also the cat mistake #So the cat when he turns back runs off out of shot but then when it pans back to Scott the cats just sort of chilling in the entry #it's also just so much of a delight how Scott is a total damsel in distress #like his dad said to stay and wait outside and what does he do? Go inside and immediately get bopped on the head and hidden behind a couch #great rescuing there bud #to think we could've gotten a spin off with him as the main character solving cases with occasional robert helping #I will forever be bummed we didn't get it #like how many of those cases would start off with him getting scammed like this episode only to stumble onto a new case later by accident
