Here's how you too can stop being a background Patrol Guy in a few easy steps!

Step nr 1: murder

#clangen #warrior cats oc #wc ocs #spooky arts #I think the fact that Kinkstar was a background boyfailure who had literally nothing going for him except he was the designated patrol guy #and mentor and he was the lame part to his much more interesting sister and then he just went and became an accomplice in murder and became #a leader just. Made me have a soft spot for him #Yeah babygirl give us nothing!! #It's like if Thornclaw was made a leader and I'm living for it. It's so funny #The fact that the only singular guy with no personal drama or interesting romances or relationships and who's defining trait is his undying #love for his much cooler twin sister got chosen as deputy is just. Sending me. Of all cats #Okay to be fair maybe choosing the only one who has his life figured out and isn't getting into petty drama was the right choice #my ocs #oc: kinkstar #oc: oddflower

As a scholar of magic for all his life, Gale is thoroughly enamored with it. He's always had the Weave, casting spells and enchantments for as far as his long memory goes, and there's no power on earth that can pale that devotion. When Gale says Mystra's name, in love, it is never with yearning. When he tells his lover that he forgets his goddess when he stands beside them, he means quite literally that he foregoes his faith. He doesn't mention her like a quality benchmark with which they've somehow surpassed, but to punctuate how wholly he has fallen for them. With a new, honest love, he is turned entirely from Mystra. In fact, so utterly bewitched, he's like a born again man. He isn't besotted by his goddess, held stalwart in her sway and seemingly, abundantly, and frustratingly stubborn. After that disastrous relationship, I promise you, Gale spares not a single thought toward her. She might have control of the Weave, and as such, stands still his only patron deity, but his new, doting lover? They become something of a new religion for him; he is most devoted, taken by, and so loyal to them.

He does not see Mystra. Do not assume he still feels for her.

He's a man of one love, and they will have all of him.

#HEADCANON. #Never go into the Gale tag because the fandom has such bad faith interpretations of Gale 24/7 #I say as another bad take makes me type this up. #Gale isn't still hung up on her GOD. Stop. #Stop saying 'Gale keeps mentioning Mystra when we're being romantic and it's so annoying.' #Dude. Mystra is his LITERAL god. He is saying YOU ARE HIS NEW FAITH. #Oh my god. Stop misinterpreting it. He isn't still ENAMORED with Mystra. #UGHHHHHHHH. #He got out of an abusive relationship and is finding out THIS is what love is #that this love IS something he can put his faith and heart in. #And you reduce him to... guy that can't get over ex tee hee? #Tell me why I shouldn't make your milk curdle. #Someone: the astral sex scene is just him reliving his moment with Mystra. #Or get this... he himself has basically largely only had sex and intimacy through that realm #and knows it to be pleasurable. He wants his partner to know pleasure beyond all imagination. THAT'S IT. #People make me [semi truck comically long honk]. #This man makes it a POINT that his heart is made ONLY for one and you all just?!?!? Talk like this!?! You wound Dean. [third person talk] #Anyway (breathes). I'm normal now. I will be on later cuz big things cane up at work. peace.

i personally think there was no need to make remarks about age

#i dont need to feel any more ashamed about this when i shouldn't feel ashamed about this in the first place #because three years is not a HUGE difference. it IS an age gap but it isn't a GIGANTIC red flag-waving age gap. #but i guess for a guy it is if the girl is older #but anyway man it was comment after comment line after line and i felt like i was standing in front of a firing squad #not gonna lie my whole chest literally hurts when i think about it too deeply! #i have literally never been told before that i'm not an option because i'm too old #i also personally (and this is a bit bitter of me to say so maybe) i resent the fact that he did take the time to tell me that he was not #personally attracted to me. and then add at the end of the conversation that if i were younger he'd consider it #like. you literally told me you don't like me that way and aren't attracted to me that way #so the only reason you'd consider me as an option really is the fact that you know I'M interested in you ???? #anyway makes me want to throw up:) #the waiting room chapter

the anger and hatred i feel for the "robin wouldn't date nancy cause of steve" rhetoric is literally unmatched by any other force on planet earth

#I will murder each and every one of you with a chainsaw this isn't even about shipping this is about the way you guys talk about shit #I will fucking have your head I will grow a garden of violets and lavender and use your mashed up bones as fertilizer #I will drown you in a pool of your own blood #I will carpet bomb your house I will visit a rage upon you so horrendous it will make the rapture look like a nice family vacation #I want you people to eat shit #<-that. is all copypasted from discord bitching #but anyway. steve has moved the fuck on and if he hasn't he should it's been like 2 years #and while there's obviously a statute of limitations on dating friend's exes st*ncy ending has exceeded that #now we're at the point where it would only matter if it was a shitty ex which nancy is NOT. #“she broke steve's heart🥺” this literally ain't about him idc quit making robin's dating life about steve #also you guys just don't get lesbians if anyone is gonna date a friend's ex it IS a lesbian #you literally don't have to like ronance but I am so tired of people talking about it like this situation would be wrong somehow #they're literally already friends dating isn't even that much of a jump #also you guys have no sense of fun I like messy shit you could make that messy if you wanted #stranger things #ronance #anyway. tis the misogyny hydra again I think

YOU think MK is a selfless forgiving good boi mc. I think he's self-centered, but that doesn't devalue the good deeds that happen as a result. We are not the same

#like to me. everything for MK is motivated by himself like #Protecting the city? That's what a good hero would do #And he wants to be a good hero and to protect *his* friends #Crying in 2x10? It's more about him failing as a hero/successor than it is about the innocent people in danger #to me anyways #Like any time he's ''seeing the good'' or ''forgiving'' an antagonist it is literally just him like #Saying the things he wants to hear/believe #Like #If Macaque isn't a bad guy then he can help and if he can help then maybe we can win #It's about the personal reassurance #Like. ''Forgiving'' DBK? Well that's easy. If DBK is a ''good guy'' now then he's not a problem for MK to deal with #And MK fucking LOVES not having to deal problems #Like it's easier for him to just ignore past history than it is to deal with it #4x14 is the ultimate example of this for me like #MK see's that Azure's crying and is then willing to be all like #''You still can. You're the only one who can'' to try and help #And it's like. Sure. MK doesn't *not* want to save/help Azure #But at the same time #Wukong was able to stop him so easily. In contrast to samadhi fire Mei where MK ran directly into the fire #Like the moment MK sees himself in you it's over okay #He's gonna be like ''you're just like me'' and self-centered about it #And it worked for like #Mei and Macaque and Azure #But it didn't work for Spider Queen #you know #lego monkie kid #lmk #lmk MK #lmk rant #For the love of god stop making MK Steven

The amount of copium T'Pring is ingesting in this scene is unprecedented and deeply sad especially paired with Spock immediately going "Yeah of course, you know me so well babe." Someone SAVE her. You HAVE to understand. He made out with Chapel IN FRONT OF HER and her response is to immediately rationalize both that action and the clear 'passion' she saw in it - then to have sex with him. HELP HER!!!!

#SNW #needed to make sure I was right about this conversation and I was #WOOF #star trek SNW #T'Pring #SNW Spock #<- different beast from TOS Spock like they're NOT the same person they're not even different versions of the same person #same with any TOS character vs any SNW counterpart - those are just ocs with the same names #which is WHY.......they should have just made NEW CHARACTERS!!! #T'Pring: -seeing Spock & Chapel making out- This iis part of some la r ger plan. It is. It's a plan. He's so good!! At planning. And ACTING #Stonn: -standing right next to her-.................. #T'Pring: He LOOKS like he's cheating on me because of his passion. His half human passion. We love each other. He loves me. #Stonn: ............................................................ #Spock in this scene and Spock in that scene playing chess with Chapel like 'We need to do the right thing and tell Starfleet about our #relationship' oh you need to tell STARFLEET??????? #Hey Spock #Hey #You think you might need to tell your FIANCEE??????? About your RELATIONSHIP with Chapel?????????????????? #You think T'Pring might need to know about that???? No??? Ok #INSANE writing that they didn't even have him HINT at her presence. It's as if T'Pring doesn't exist if she isn't literally right in front #of him #how much T'Pring trusts and tries to connect with SNW Spock vs how he gen-u-inely doesn't seem to care about her literally at ALL #<- I'm screaming #Guy who only treats you like an adversary or inconvenience except when you might break up with him

a friend who'd wait :)

#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops. #and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can! #and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol #finn's ocs #finn's art #i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me #and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun #i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here: #barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past #he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it #he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned #which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them #they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore #but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird #and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place #though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library #and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together #since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door #eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement #barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time. #barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate #but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd #he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself #but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done. #and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies. #and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them) #and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances'' #from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov #sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3 #but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

anyone else ever get struck with a sudden feeling of distaste or being tired of someone who you usually really like/are friends with for literally no reason whatsoever? or is that just me

#like this has been happening with various people all summer #I'll be like... the thought of this person causes negative emotions that are literally directed at nothing #it isn't anything the person has done I just. feel like I don't care and don't really want to put in the effort with whatever friend #which is really weird bc I KNOW if I DO just put in the effort and ignore that random feeling I'll have fun and enjoy myself!! #bc I DO still like my friends actually!!! I just sometimes feel like I Don't and idk why #Lu rambles #this is especially odd when it's the sound guy bc like. not only have I been massively crushing on him all summer #but he's also one of the few people I genuinely have clicked with here. like we get along. it's cool. I've been slightly in love with him #so why do I now have this weird feeling like I want nothing to do with him/don't care #actually I feel extremely ambivalent about just about everyone right now but for some reason especially him #wait maybe it's PMS actually.... the Leave Me Alone Don't Talk To Me Don't Look At Me Don't Make Me Show Up hormones have hit :/ #...that would actually explain several things from the last couple days. I should start tracking it #ok sorry I'm done externally processing my emotions on Tumblr dot com. bye

oc deep dive questionnaire - dhes edition

tagged by @sikoi (ty you for the tag!! <3)

-what common/uncommon fear do they have? tbh, there's not much that scares Dhes. when he was younger, he feared rejection, but that fear has lessened significantly as he's gotten older & become more comfortable with himself

-do they have any pet peeves? he's pretty particular about housekeeping, so his biggest pet peeves tend to be related to that. but he especially hates when Kelly leaves his shoes lying around instead of putting them away (bc Dhes *always* trips over them lol)

-what are 3 items you can find in their bedroom? CDs (lots of CDs), a tamagotchi (he brings it to work. it never stays alive long), & notes that he & Kel wrote back & forth to each other during class throughout their teen years

-what do they notice first in a person? whether or not they look directly at him/look him in the eyes

-on a scale of 1-10, how high is their pain tolerance? probably 8 or 9

-do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? fight - Dhestyn's a fighter through & through

-do they come from a big family/are they a family person? his family is pretty average, size-wise. his family dynamic is very eccentric, so whether or not he's a "family person" is kind of a complicated answer. he's not particularly close with anyone in his immediate family, but he does talk to them & visit them often

-what animal represents them best? a dog - generally, he's very friendly & loyal, but in the right circumstances, he does tend to bite

-what is a smell that they dislike? burning meat

-have they broken any bones? if so, how? several, mostly his fingers & wrists though. he's broken them in skateboarding accidents, during fights with other kids when he was in middle/high school, & by simply making poor decisions due to his reckless nature :-)

-how would a stranger likely describe them? i actually kind of explained this on his character page, but to sum it up people tend to see Dhes as either very charming or very unsavory

-are they a night owl or a morning bird? both! Dhes has a horrific sleep schedule. he'll regularly stay up until 1-2am & he wakes up at 5 o'clock every morning. though if he had to choose one, he prefers mornings

-what is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love? he really likes cinnamon. he's not a big fan of seafood.

-do they have any hobbies? yes! skateboarding, hacky sack, making playlists & listening to music, working out (weights/jogging), fashion (read: "fashion"), & ruining his hair, to name a few.

-boom, surprise birthday party! how do they react to surprises? Dhestyn always appreciates a nice surprise

-do they like to wear jewelry? if so, what is their favorite piece? yes, the man loves to accessorize. his favorite piece of "jewelry" is actually a necklace Kel gave to him when they were fifteen - it's a simple black cord with one of Kel's old guitar picks on it.

-do they have neat or messy handwriting? somewhere in the middle - it's legible, at least.

-what are two emotions they feel the most? love & anger

-do they have a favorite fabric? not particularly, no

-what kind of accent do they have? standard PNW accent when speaking English, though occasionally he'll have hints of a more Mexican-American accent, which he picked up from his mom's side of the family

tagging: @mobwhim, @lynzishell, @vicciouxs, @teddybearsims, & @salemssimblr (feel free to ignore ofc!)

#tag game #dhestyn #myedits #been really into doodling on my edits lately. idk why. #i was going to keep my answers concise but then i thought. fuck it #today we ramble #regarding his fear of rejection: it hasn't gone away entirely. it just like. doesn't have a hold on him the way it used to yk #he still very much has that like. underlying fear that he doesn't belong anywhere. he just tries to ignore it #it was actually really hard to think of stuff dhes would keep in his bedroom that isn't obvious (like. a bed lol) #bc 1 - dhes keeps a really clean room & house #literally nothing is out of place #& 2 - the boys live in a studio apartment. so like. technically their couch is in their bedroom. & so is everything else they own #the emotion question was also really hard to answer bc dusty is an emotional guy #like........ everything he feels is x100 & it is very difficult to distinguish whether those feelings are positive or negative #bc his reactions to both are more or less the same lol #also i did use a font for his handwriting. i've been trying to find handwriting fonts for all my OCs but #i've only been able to find some for the boys #n e way. #that's all.

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.

One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority

#it's wrong on so many levels both in terms of lore and as well as like what the general themes of idw1 are #it's just a validation contest using the matrix as some magical symbol to decide who's the most special #which is ironically something that was a plot point in exrid/OP. specifically how stupid of an idea that is ldskjflksd #ppl revealing that they havent read anything besides mtmte/ll as usual #like half the reason ppl think optimus is a bad prime and rodimus is a good prime is literally bc like #optimus was written by an author who was specifically trying to deconstruct him (sometimes to the point of absurdity) #and rodimus was written by an author who takes a more optimistic/idealistic approach. and is also better at writing #but also like am i seriously the only person who thinks that that argument is fucked up????? #like 'OP felt pain which means he's unworthy/not a real prime/not a true leader' #ok so you think that there's a hierarchy of moral goodness in which anyone who falls short of that Moral Ideal should suffer #as a sign of their unworthiness?? like does that not sound dystopian as hell to any of you?? why would you WANT the matrix to work like tha #even if the theory were true (which it isn't) why would you view the matrix as a good authoritative moral judge of character #if its idea of 'moral judgement' is to inflict pain on anyone who's supposedly not truly good/worthy #wasn't the entire point of the ending of LL (including rodimus being a good leader) that everyone is worth it? #like rodimus literally said 'you ARE damn well good enough' or something like that #so what? everyone else in the universe tries their best and that's enough but somehow when OP suffers it's like #a sign that he's not actually a good prime/leader?? we're really going with the punitive perspective purely for One Guy?? #swear to god ppl are projecting their authority issues onto Optimus the way they shit on him for things they would excuse #if any other character did it #Optimus is uniquely deserving of pain/being marked as unworthy bc idk he was a cop once and that offends my delicate sensibilities #what's even funnier is how much harm was inflicted by rodimus as a captain sheerly due to his stupidity or ego but everyone forgives him #i guess bc as long as the matrix likes him that means he's valid no matter what he actually does as a person #WHICH IS SOMETHING IDW ITSELF ARGUED AGAINST BC A LOT OF THE PRIMES THAT WERE CHOSEN BY THE MATRIX #WERE DICKS AND THE FACT THEY COULD WIELD THE MATRIX DIDN'T MAKE THEM GOOD PEOPLE #like oh my god stop using the matrix as an arbiter of moral authority in idw1 it literally goes against the themes of the story #including the themes that are embodied in rodimus himself #idw op love

Lost my original post of this from the other day but I genuinely don't understand how Black Butler discourse ever shifted into the does Sebastian ~really~ like Ciel or is Ciel just dinner line of conversation that is pervasive as it is because Sebastian is the one that has absorbed his whole existence into Ciel's. Sebastian's face is what Ciel wants Sebastian's whole purpose is doing things for Ciel Sebastian's every hell of a butler yes my lord speech is about how he's Ciel's and Ciel is the one going around saying shit like whatever Sebastian is just my pawn 💅

#like sjdjdkdd?????? #it's not that i don't think ciel loves sebastian per se bc. well. i don't think he'd ever process it in terms like that no matter what... #...kind of relationship they have bc the most important thing to him is getting him to do tasks like a dog and proving he will over and over #which is why sebastian does it all so overkill #but the most acknowledgement you ever get that ciel likes sebastian is stuff like idk the fucking book of atlantic you did good today #or if we're feeling really crazy the you were the only demon there line #like the dynamic has gotten way skewed in fandom away from the actual text #and i know why but it's still annoying bc i am not even saying this in a shippy way bc i don't give a fuck about ships #but they're so crazy entwined and in completely incomparable inhuman situations that it literally has no merit on this story to sit and... #...definitely piece together how this relationship works with real life normie standards like it literally is going to fit into no box of... #...what we think of as friends or siblings or parents or partners bc no victorian guy on the face of the earth has a real pet demon. #it's so boring you're missing the bigger picture that they're everything to each other and completely stuck together forever #does x mean y mean z? (least problematic answer only) they're stuck together! forever! #and no one has demons in real life it's all comparable to real life nothing #other than the asthma that's real #anyway. it's like fandom has made up a version of this story in their heads that is so devoid of anything that makes the story the story #twitter is like another planet for this i am mostly talking about twitter where i have been looking for news about the anime and oh boy #i have said this before but sebastian doesn't have a grip on human relationships bc he's not one and ciel doesn't give a fuck #but like this post started with and strayed from. well. sebastian isn't even trying to act like he's indifferent. ciel actually is. #and we're all missing several funny bits from that just trying to fit everything into a box #we could have more interesting conversations if we got past the same three people have been having for 20 years #kuroshitsuji #my kuro posts

[hella1975]

this guy is the main antagonist? with NO redemption? when he was just trying to be good enough for his father to love him like he did his other siblings? WHAT

mha spoilers ahead bc i lost my shit but several points to make here. 1) he's not the MAIN antagonist he's like. villain no.3 in the rankings imo but he's a BIG hitter like defo one of the first villains u think of when u think about the series 2) THE DAD DIDN'T EVEN LOVE THE OTHER SIBLINGS!!! okay todoroki trauma time: there's enji, the dad, rei, the mum, and then the kids: touya (this guy: goes on to become the villain dabi which literally means cremation. i hate everything. hot topic ass), fuyumi (invented eldest daughter syndrome), natsuo (loml), and shouto (youngest brother that got all the attention).

so in mha the abilities are called 'quirks' and enji's ability is that he's basically a firebender, and because of that, he becomes the no.2 hero, second only to all might, who he envies with every fibre of his being. he is DESPERATE to become the no.1 hero instead of all might, but his quirk is limited bc he overheats if he overuses his fire, so when he realises he can never individually defeat all might, he decides that his legacy will. so he get a quirk marriage, which is when u marry another quirk user with the sole ambition of selective breeding high-power quirks in your children. this is illegal. off the bat, the no.2 hero is breaking the law he is literally upholding and a representative of. he marries rei, an ice user, in the hopes of producing a child able to wield both fire and ice with the ability to balance one with the other. low and behold, his first child is born. touya todoroki, my fucking guy that is driving me NUTS today. touya has his father's flames and his mother's resistance to the cold, but NO fire resistance, meaning every time he overuses his fire, he burns the fuck out of himself. still, regardless of the pain his quirk causes touya, enji trains him from the moment his quirk manifests, which is like. age 5 im pretty sure. literal full ass AGGRESSIVELY ABUSIVE combat training for this 5 year old, and regardless of the pain his quirk causes touya, he puts his all into it because he literally just wants is to impress his father like all he knows is that he's supposed to be a hero he's supposed to beat all might it's what he was BORN for it's literally the purpose of his creation and why his dad is so hard on him, so he tries tries tries, but ultimately like i said, his quirk is faulty. so enji keeps having kids, all the while abusing the fuck out of rei as he goes bc he just treats her as a breeding machine and won't let her have any input on the kids' upbringing, but fuyumi and natsuo both come out with very weak quirks and no fire so he still puts most of his faith in touya until he's literally like eight like that's his entire developmental period being the One That's Gonna Achieve Dad's Dream Of Defeating All Might. and then shouto is born. shouto, who has the Perfect Quirk. shouto, who is one of the main characters from the get-go, who we meet LONG before touya is even MENTIONED, who is one of our big protag and set to be one of the top heroes of his generation. he is literally everything touya was supposed to be, and enji throws touya aside because of it. literally completely drops touya.

and touya HATES him for it and he hates SHOUTO for it even though shouto gets subject to the exact same abuse and indoctrination and 'you're no more than a quirk to me' bullshit from their dad like NEITHER of them were ever just kids ever just enji's sons they were weapons first and foremost touya is a complete parallel of what shouto could have become but didn't and when touya's fourteen it all comes to a head and he basically burns himself alive bc he loses control of his quirk and his dad isn't there and they forget he ever existed and shouto continues to shine while touya lives in the ashes and the criminal underworld throughout his teenage years and he does terrible things and when he shows up again it's as a villain and he's treated like nothing more than some lunatic monster and im just. normal amounts of upset about it bth.

#shouto is his own BUCKETLOAD of trauma like rei went mental from so much abuse and had a breakdown when shouto was 5 #and she poured boiling water on him LITERALLY BC HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE HIS DAD. THAT IS IT #THAT'S HOW MUCH THIS ONE GUY FUCKED UP THAT FAMILY #AND THEY FUCKING REDEEM HIM #and tbh i could allow the redemption. i wouldn't LIKE it and it would rub me up the wrong way but id allow it #IF they redeemed touya as well. but no touya gets burned and forgotten and becomes dabi #and im supposed to take him as this two dimensional evil thing when he just wanted to be good #idk the manga isn't over yet and we're currently in a HUGELY important todoroki family arc #so it MIGHT change in his favour but recent chapters are NOT LOOKING GOOD and im tearing my hair out basically #ask #mha #mha spoilers #touya todoroki #i cant wait for rori to log on and see im not only strangers posting but about my hero academia no less #rori if u see this know my mental state is v fragile rn u do not want to be mean to me THINK before you post is it true is it helpful is it

In 1997, Metropolis got its own superhero, the first costumed crime fighter in decades, a flying man who would call himself Superman.

Later that same year, the Batman of Gotham first appeared, his methods much more brutal than the Man of Steel’s chipper and friendly demeanour.

A year later, in 1998, Diana of Themiscyra, the Wonder Woman, returned to Man’s World after nearly a century away, having aided the allies in the first World War.

Though the three were from very different worlds, their activities and efforts to make the planet better would usher in what many would call the Silver Age of Heroes!

#dc comics #superman #batman #wonder woman #justice league #redesign #my art #i've got a rough timeline for my version of the dc universe (i call it earth 101 for funsies) #which starts at superman's first appearance in 1997 and goes until a couple years in the future (2027-2030 ish i haven't decided yet) #its mostly just to justify designing a bunch of characters lmao- #ANYWAY #i've posted clark before but his suit is very much inspired by the fleischer cartoons + the classic suit with some homemade charm to it #goal was to make him look approachable and friendly - so guy in a sweater and undies works well for that #he's charming and goofy and a complete klutz #it literally takes him six years of dating lois to propose to her #(and even then its only AFTER starro invades and he properly realises he could lose her at any moment if he isn't careful) #bruce's suit is based on battinson's suit + the original suit from the 30s #i imagine he would use a gun at first but stop using it once he realises how fucked up that is of him - #after gunning down the red hood - oops! #he also wouldn't be alone for long - he adopts dick very shortly after dropping guns #so he can start projecting a friendly billionaire (look! he took in this little orphan boy how he cold he beat up criminals every night #when he's got a kid to look after huh?) #but ya - he's a freak and his posture's terrible from being hunched at the batcomputer for hours on end (he's workin on it) #diana was the easiest i think - i just wanted to basically redo her silver age design and do my own spin on a few of the details #nothing too fancy for the moment i imagine she gets a lil more ornate in future #but for now its simple bodice and boot-sandals #also HAD to make her taller than the guys i HAD to #so clark's like 6'2 and bruce is the same when he isn't slouching - but diana edging on 7 foot #she's BEEG #she's literally a living statue basically so y'know

Workforce Tuvok is my cringefail babygirl

#why are you a Vulcan suffering from dysphoria syndrome?? So you can get held down by other men??? #I really want to know what 'humorous anecdotes' he had to share.....I love him so much #I love that without his Vulcan discipline he becomes even more clearly annoying <3<3 explaining a joke TO the guy who TOLD IT to him #+ laughing SUPER hard at someone else being 'humiliated' #Also Janeway looooves being romantically quirky in an old romance movie way and idk how else to describe it #Neelix: If I had a tarynian nickle for everytime I had to rehabilitate a friend who'd lost all their memories I'd have two nickles #which isn't a lot but- #st voyager memes #bea art tag #OH! Janeway seems like she's two seconds away from swinging herself around a lamp post in the rain with a dazzling smile on her face #Workforce Tuvok (and thus normal Tuvok) contains so many multitudes...he is SO friendly he is VERY annoying he is SCARED of needles #he is OFF putting and PUSHY and he is KIND <3 #He seems like if I made a mistake he'd VERY loudly laugh and point it out but also help me correct it while telling a story about himself #Literally a CRIME that Tuvok and Neelix didn't interact in this ep they would've become buds #another crime is that Tuvok does nothing in the second half of the episode v_v not even a little 'ribbon scene' at the end #Janeway: Thank you so much Chakotay and only Chakotay for helping get us all out of there <3 #Tuvok in the background: .......................................................................................... #the 'ribbon scene' would have been between him and Seven - she completed the research he started v_v

for such a small fandom, the moral orel community really does have a huge fucking problem with woobification of the adult cast.

it's gross.

#this isn't about liking characters this is however about using that as an excuse to pretend they are not horrible people. #like literally the only decent adult in moralton is stephanie- others may have their moments but overall? just her. #& that's thematically fucking important! like the fact that the only good person in a town suffocated by it's own rigid adherence to WASP #social norms is a visually non-conforming lesbian? yeah that kinda fucking means something! that was a pointed writing choice! #also before anyone mentions officer papermouth hes a cop. moreover he's a cop in a town where several characters are canonically racist. #& its a town where people are known to mostly hold the same views on social issues due to the aforementioned strict adherence to WASP norms #do not “officer papermouth seems like a good guy.” me i will chuck your kneecaps into a river. #but enough with the uwu cutesy headcanons about characters who are canonically racist/homophobic/abusive/misogynistic! #enough with the blaming literally every character except your personal favourite for the climate of the town! #enough with blaming only one parent for the puppington family dynamic! #enough with acting like characters don't have faults because you happen to find a clay figurine unreasonably attractive! #you're missing the fucking point! #enough enough enough enough! learn how to actually analyze & interact with the media you consume please! #moral orel #also: #proshippers dni #you lot are the worst of the fucking bunch & your approach to media as a group is horrific. fuck off.
