#it was a good run gang

[starlyte-writes]

Guys I outed myself as a dsmp fan today because I just wanted to show my friend Wilbur’s Hamilton Soundtrack (New Zealand Edition) and now-

I’m currently regretting every decision in my life ever

#star spitting her nonsense #dream smp #wilbur soot #mcyt #it was so funny and related to our conversation and she used to be a big dsmp fan so i was like 'this'll be harmless' #i forgot there were several other ppl in the room #and it was fine until somebody went 'see this is why i stay away from dsmp stans' #and i just melted into a pile of social loathing #like FUCK i'd convinced them all for a YEAR that i was normal #it was a good run gang #tw caps in tags #tw cursing in tags #AND I WAS GONNA WEAR MY TOMMY MERCH TOMORROW T-T #i hate that i'm called cringe for liking a thing like man it sucks #i know you're supposed to ignore it but like it's hard man :(( #booo ppl for making me feel bad about my interests #i know they didn't mean to cause they're my friends but like blegh #this is why i have tumblr #you guys get me /hj #long tags

i do wonder why fandom is so insistent on proving that "gale could eventually change his mind" when it comes to fatherhood.

if children are something you ideally want in your romance - that is completely valid and luckily for you, there are several romance options in the game that can provide just that. wyll, lae'zel, and halsin. even shadowheart briefly mentions that children might be a possibility for her in the future. 4 options total that either already have entire adoption subplots or are open to the idea.

meanwhile, fandom is bending over backwards, bringing up aspects of gale's arc that are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand and claiming that any statement coming from gale or any boundary he sets should forever be questioned because... "he has been known to have inferiority issues"?!

gale is a character who is very likely in his 40s. he isn't some 20-something college boy who is still trying to figure everything out. i personally never felt like there was any point in the context of gale's relationship with tav where he was unsure about his desires. quite the contrary.

gale is also very vocal about what he wants. not wasting any time in proposing to tav after the big bad had been defeated. i am pretty sure there would have been instances where gale expressed his desire to have children (whether that may mean immediate or somewhere down the line) if larian had intended to include this aspect in his romance as well.

...but instead all we have to go on when it comes to the subject of children in general are lines like these:

player: gale... how would you feel about having another person in our relationship?

gale: what, like a child? i'm not quite sure i'd consider myself father material, plus our current lifestyle isn't exactly what i'd call settled...

tara: this is why mrs. dekarios and i will be waiting an eternity more for grandchildren.

gale: psst! shoo, tara.

nodecontext: shooing away tara like one would a naughty cat.

gale, upon spotting oliver during their game of hide and seek: ah, i have you! just a shame i don't want you.

EDIT:

adding for clarification

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #by all means go wild with your headcanons #no ones stopping you #but recognize that they are ooc and merely self-indulgent #dad!gale #it speaks #fandom critical #on a different note: a good majority of media out there follows the usual marriage-nuclear-family trope #if you're into that sort of thing you'll likely never run out of content to consume #and here we have one (1) character who expresses no such desires #and yet fandom is still so insistent that: Akshually no. he should feel the same. #perhaps controversial but imo gale is for the cf gang

Fucks me up to think about how Legato's legacy in-universe after his death in Trimax (and presumably Tristamp) is probably gonna be how much he sucked and nothing else....

Like, nobody will like Knives but Vash will be long-lived enough to be able to eventually talk about his good qualities from when he was a child and his quasi-redemption in his last days. But who remembers Legato? Livio and Vash are the only living people with any extended memory of him and neither of them would have anything nice to say (and rightfully so). Neither of them probably knew he was a slave, either—as far as Vash can tell this dude showed up one day and hated his guts, for all he knows he's just another survivor from July! Outside of Knives, Elendira, Legato, and maybe Conrad, I don't think any other character knows his actual life story.

And to add on to that, there's no way of looking up that past either—he had no name or personhood before he was effectively rescued, so who could investigators or reporters or archivists track down for information? The human being that was Legato only existed for as long as he knew Knives, before that he was something to be kept and abused as an object. There's presumably no surviving family they can reliably contact, nobody to really say "yes I knew him, here's what his life was like, here's how we can prevent something like this from happening again".

His entire existence will be reduced down to "a human weapon that was freakishly loyal to public enemy #1" without any reflection on the mechanisms that made him the way he was because there's just no actual knowledge of his life.

#trigun #trigun maximum #trigun spoilers #legato bluesummers #fucked up to think about how absolutely conditional his personhood was throughout his life. Good parallel to Wolfwood and Livio and Vash th #sometimes I think about that potential little sister he (maybe) had...if she existed (and was alive) would she even recognize him? #also really hope the whole “most of the humans on this planet died off and also Earth fleets showed up” fixes the slavery issue because oof #the Roderick gang was so open about it too...had they gotten more bold as of recent (in the story) or were they always so cocky? #not that it probably mattered since all they had to do was avoid the handful of city military police and the one independent who cared #I think Vash probably would've done something (and then pretend he didn't) if he knew more...but he's also not omniscient #I do think he'd stop slavers if he saw them but he'd actually have to run into them first...or learn to actually investigate for real #the Earth forces are actually desperately needed here if only just to fix this #CLEARING OUT MY DRAFTS (2 posts) LET'S GO

@vanweek2024 day 3 - time

you may be asking yourself "how does this drawing even fit the prompt?" well i'll tell you!

the prompt is time. how do you measure time? a clock. how could this relate to vanweek? a vanny themed clock. how would this make any sort of sense in universe? she is selling the clock.

did i have any other ideas? no

here's a bonus w/o the effects. contains both a green screen AND a bg you can actually look at

#my art #vanweek2024 #vanny fnaf #vanny #eyestrain #eye strain #tw eyestrain #tw eye strain #<- this post desperately needs it #anyway yeah i uh. i genuinely couldn't think of anything else for this prompt #i spent all day thinking about it and ultimately this is all i could come up with #at least the suit looks good. lesbian gang rise up #i made her wear it over the vanny suit lol. pls buy her products #i guess you could say that i was running out of TIME for this prompt LMAO. i just finished this the night before #i will leave now bye. it's past my bedtime <- if you read this in moon's voice i'll kill you /j

Dennis shielding Dee whether it's physical harm or a verbal confrontation. And thinking about ada's tag alongside the gifs

They're both of equal threat to him...

#sorry i forgot who the 1st gif is from #i know its subtle but on one hand dennis distrusts strangers #bcuz they dont get him and they disrupt the gangs status quo #but dennis also just...doesnt like anger and will always calm people down #usually he puts his hands on their shoulders and massages when they get riled up and eases their tension #but here he's acting as a shield bcuz the threat isn’t coming from inside #it isn’t their emotions and their anger that needs to be hm let's say treated/controlled #it's an exterior harm it's coming from other people #dennis here understands dee's anger and sees reason behind it but he'll handle it instead #shields her away from it and speaks out #to me dennis doesn’t like anger and doesn't like himself when he's angry #so since he's calmer and more rational than dee in this instance he'll take over #cuz he knows anger doesn’t lead to anything good #he will always be the last to snap and he prefers running away to anger anyways #i feel like I've tackled too many subjects in the tags now I'll shut up #dennis reynolds #iasip #trash twins

HYDRA kidnaps Loki but all the goons look up to him and think he’s the coolest guy and keep kissing up to him because they really really want him to join their ranks

#and when he shows no interest in becoming a fellow cooperating agent they want to work under him instead #HYDRA turns into Loki’s gang gang #the goons overthrow the other guys running it #HYDRA accidentally gets a makeover and becomes a good organisation #the bad ones are weeded out #they focus on things like ecosystem recovery and killing corrupt politicians #goons: but you’re much stronger than Pierce? #Loki: this is true. prove your loyalties to me by weeding him out to the public. you won’t. #goons: DONE. what’s next Boss? #the remaining goons once they’re filtered out are largely people bribed or with no choice but to serve HYDRA #just regular people in tough places #the goons unionise and make Loki their figurehead #‘I joined because I wanted to do good in the world... and then when I realized it was too late to back out...’ alright #here’s a fund go start that medical research you wanted #HYDRA leaders: we shall torture the alien! #HYDRA goons in the lab room: no way! why would Thor do that?? what a jerk!!!! tell us more stories of Asgard Boss. we’ll avenge you!

Loving the idea of Astarion Origin runs. This guy? The guy whose plans have never developed beyond:

Stab

???

Profit

That guy? That guy is in charge of 5 chaotic strangers and making decisions and saving the world now?

#i know tav isn't much better #it really speaks to the tadpole gang that any of them leading is ridiculous #astarion #bg3 #it's actually really great narratively #i'm looking forward to playing an astarion run myself #making the good decisions make sense for him #but it's also. hilarious.

my hand slipped-

i know canonically they didnt meet but in my heart clay and baby athena were friends

#fanart #art #doodles #comic #ace attorney #aa5 #dual destinies #clay terran #athena cykes #gyaxa gang is so fun #canonically these twos time there overlapped #they shouldve at least run into each other once #realistically i dont think theyd know each other well #but in my heart clay'd try to get her to open up #he knows shes very shy and so hes trying to be as accomadating as possible #clay really be like 'this kid needs a friend. guess ill do it' #also he thinks its funny shes named athena and his bestie is apollo #he'd probably try to introduce them once #but knowing apollo he might scare her a bit #hes not very good with kids #all of these were things i drew in class #but my notebook smudges a lot so i grabbed pics and redrew them as soon as i could

[dennisboobs]

do you guys ever sit and remember that dennis takes a mental health day is an episode that exists

#ada speaks #i think i could probably recite the entire one sided phone conversation he has with daisy by heart and i havent seen the ep in months #i don't know how to explain it but #from what little ive read of ross' writing it feels like. when you click onto a fanfic and you feel immediate deep trust of the author #like it just clicks #the cookbook characterization specifically. is like. #i would put my life in your hands #and im sure we will get more eps by him and i really hope that continues because i think its been a very long time since the shows had #writers that i feel Get the characters in a way that feels effortless rather than. overcompensating. #like you can smell that writer's signature no matter how hard they try to cover it up with jokes and subversions #which isnt always a bad thing and im sure if we do get more maloney eps i'll pick up on his writers quirks too #but it doesn't feel like he's trying to copy anyone/pull from old eps it feels like he has a good grasp on things which makes it feel fresh #i find that long running shows hit a point where episodes start to feel less cohesive and more like. segmented short films #but if you have a really good group of writers and they find their groove its like. yeah. ok. #i think season 3 is a good study because marder and rosell's influence is all over the entire season #later seasons you can literally just. Feel which eps they worked on because its got a completely different vibe from the rest of the season #16 still suffers from that segmentation but #i think all the first time sunny writers (and nina's first solo ep) were all absolutely fuckin bangers and they've got a good team in there #anyway. characterization of dennis flipflops a lot. but the rest of the gang arguably gets it worse at times #i think megan's dee is the absolute worst aside from conor galvin's #and i understand wanting to write her as a girlfailure who is just. horrible. but. #ok. comparing self help book dee to ross' cookbook dee. i dont even have to say anything do i. #she's like. The Woman. in the self help book. and i fucking could not stand it. ross' dee is so perfect though #and his frank. MAN. #EVERYONE FUCKING RUINS FRANK. #i think marder and rosell's frank is a lot of fun because hes clearly based on marder's dad and acts believably #a lot of writers struggle to capture his. frank-ness. #he's sort of suffered from like. bland pervy senile old man writing for a long time #and ross brought back him actually being a competent businessman #IM OUT OF TAGS IM SHUTTING UP

Vastra in Demons Run

Hey can we talk about the fact that in Demons Run, Vastra saw Silurians again for presumably the first time since her sisters were slaughtered, only to have all those Silurians slaughtered too? Can we talk about the fact that Jenny and her spent TWO DAYS on the station before leaving together with Strax???

i bet on losing dogs and leland is always the losing dog in the song u know what i mean?

#but he still fights! #anyway related sort of but the gang is shambled thinking about dbd aus in particular rn #leland would never do well there. he'd get ripped apart by the entity feeding on his raw emotions and how often he'll die for people #people he barely knows! he'll just throw himself into trials and protecting people and running himself ragged until he can't get back up #and he's too soft for everything. like oh. you guys don't have a really good cry every trial and also when you get back to the campfire?
