#it's all coming to fruition

[tritoch]

wild to me to see posts like "wow everything in the tempest is named after shakespeare...emet you melodramatic bitch you sure loved theater". because the prospero-emet thing gets played up so hard in the english script and you can carry it so far!

like prospero is an asshole magician who, after being deposed by his brother as duke of milan, settles himself and his daughter on a remote island, enslaves the local spirits using his magic, and bitterly plots to reclaim his past glories. he rules through violence and deceit, and only survives and is reconciled when his plots reach their fruition and his brother is taken to his remote island and plots ensue and everyone decides he was totally right all along and they were huge dicks to him and they're sooooo sorry and he gets to go back and be duke again wow! and it's okay because he's like "i was only doing mean magic to get my rightful spot back and now i'm giving it up because magic is evil. :)"

the tempest is what emet wants his life to be. prospero is not a villain in the text of the tempest. he is barely treated as antagonistic by the text and framing of the play itself. all his abuses, his neglect and control of his daughter, his enslavement of caliban and ariel (local spirits/monsters/people of the island), his deception and plots against his brother, his abuse of magical powers (not awesome, from the pov of the contemporary audience), all that ultimately gets swept aside in the rightness of his return to milan and the warm feeling of the world being set to rights. prospero can't undo the years he spent on the island but they are ultimately a blip in his life before he returns to the rightful state of affairs. his abuse and enslavement of caliban, easily the worst thing he does in the play, is totally set aside when caliban goes "wow now i see how truly benevolent my master is. i love him and see the ways of christian good and i'm so, so appreciative he chose not to kill or beat me even though he totally could have and would have been in the right. he's so just and intelligent." everyone loves and forgives him and they all agree both his management of the island and his ultimate return are so good and so wise and so right.

emet comparing himself to the tempest (or being compared to it, depending on how you want to read the diegetic status of the place names) is absolute wishcasting. it is an attempt to manifest the happy ending he will never, ever get because his sins cannot and would not be forgiven in the way he wants. he wants to imagine himself as the righteous returned duke whose crimes, including the enslavement, abuse, and exploitation of those he saw as his rightful inferiors, were totally worth it, i promise. and if emet is prospero, the warrior of light is his caliban.

#emet-selch #ffxiv #hades #shadowbringers spoilers #like by the time you get to the end you've already spoken to the amaurotine shades and hythlodaeus in particular #it's incredibly clear that even if emet's plans come to fruition he is *utterly alien to the world he is trying to restore* #and like prospero is restored in the end. but his wife is still dead. miranda grew up isolated and alone. #also to take a somewhat more jaundiced view #the things he did to caliban and to ariel can never be undone. that stain is with him forever. #and i mean even IF you can just yank all those souls right out of zodiark and fix the whole thing #there's still everyone who died before the first sacrifice and after the second. also THE VOID IS THE VOID. #'yeah uh we'll just fix that. when zodiark is up and running properly.' #sure dude i totally believe your expertise on the problem you caused by not knowing enough. you definitely know enough now. #anyways he can't waver for even a moment bc it means acknowledging he has betrayed everything he ever claimed to believe in due to his grie #he is in blood stepped so far etc. if i can be allowed to mix my shakespeares #emet-selch more like emet-sunk cost fallacy

"I will not hand him over to somebody who doesn't respect duelists like you." "Don't make me laugh, you don't even know him." "We can get to know everything about each other through a duel." "Ah, yes, I do remember how naïve I used to be." "Uhh...Guys? Can I have a little space?..."

(listen i am feral about the idea of Johan getting to know the person that Ryo had left behind in his past and falling for him just as hard as he has for the current Hell Kaiser because, how could he not?)

#you all probably saw this one coming #if not: this is the zeitgeist now buddies #but like to get serious for a second: this ship just kills me with how inherently tragic it is #they could have gotten to know the best of each other but keep missing out on it because of circumstances beyond their control #and instead have to face the demonic manifestations of the other person #but even those moments bring out glimpses of their own glory #suggestions of powerful self-discovery in the other's presence that never came to fruition #after the mess of canon they can and will spend the following decades reconnecting and truly getting to know the whole of each other #no cap #yugioh gx #art by neeko #yugioh fanart #yugioh #tealshipping #jesse anderson #johan andersen #zane truesdale #ryo x johan #ryo marufuji #gx #fanart #hell kaiser #kaiser

I'm actually drawing, wow. It's past midnight, maybe that's the secret to actually making art but hey, here! It's still a WIP and I don't know if I'll ever finish it, probably wont. Even if I don't tho, it was still really cool because I've never really done anything with a background, and I tried blocking in basic shapes first instead of just getting straight into drawing. Anyways, here he is. The only man ever, from the oldest anarchy server in minecraft, the dude himself, FitMC

#i want to do something witb fit and his contactor #dont know exactly what so there might be a different end piece #and this might forever be a wip #but baby steps! #this is all part of the process :D #although i have school in 2 days so none of it might come to fruition lol #qsmp fanart #qsmp fitmc #fitmcfanart #fitmc

peanuary day 14: 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

sporty pea!

some bonus ones including häärijä under the cut 😏

since @lintubintu suggested a banana häärijä as a friend for the corn boi, I couldn't resist drawing one as well >:) which then made me want to draw him as a little sourpuss lemon too. 🍋 all this time I've been racking my brain as to how i could give corn pea käärijä a small häärijä foodstuff friend, but it never occured to me before that häärijä didn't HAVE to be tiny like his buddy!! he could be the bik one for change!!

#käärijä #peanuary #finally my lifelong obsession with drawing fruits with faces is coming to fruition!!!!! #also you know what the birth of corn pea kä may have stemmed from that as well............ #i have not in fact changed at all as a person since i was like twelve and became obsessed with drawing pears (with faces) #you take yourself with you wherever you go etc etc

[azurityarts]

hi-fi rush is a great excuse to draw humans but also it is an even better excuse to draw women

Sooooo this post by @lover-of-mine got my brain going brrrrrr over the Mitchell Mitchell Charlie Charlie ambulance of it all

Because there are also two Freddie’s tied up in this as well but it’s more than that - it’s the living/dying danger/no danger (technically) of it all.

Bear with me - I need to set it out for my brain because there’s something about the Mitchell’s dying and the Charlie’s putting Buck and Eddie in the line of fire (by this I mean both of them at the same time and not one or the other being in danger)

We have Charlie 1, who puts the both of them in danger (unintentionally) with the grenade in his leg. Up to this point Buck and Eddie have been at odds but this bonds them and we get the ‘we might end up real close’ line. This is essentially the foundation stone/ moment of their relationship.

Then, 7 episodes later we have Mitchell 1, who gets crushed by a car and dies. Neither Buck or Eddie are in any danger during this call. And we have the establishing of Bucks method statement - ‘you don’t find it you make it. (Which imo is the first time we see buck misunderstanding the assignment)

Then we have Charlie 2, again Buck and Eddie are both put into (again unintentional) danger when the come under gun fire. This time Eddie does get hurt but it plays into the might end up real close concept as ultimately we see the bond getting even tighter through the will.

Then guess what 7 episodes later (you can’t tell me this isn’t intentional at this point) we meet Mitchell 2, who like Mitchell 1 dies. Whilst Buck and Eddie can be seen to be in danger throughout this episode, in reality neither of them are truly in danger - killing them wont get Mitchell what he wants, so even though we are held in suspense through the episode, the reality is that they’re ‘safe’.

There is something about how a Charlie binding them ever closer together while Mitchell’s are a omen - they foreshadow events later in their respective seasons.

Mitchell 1 gets crushed by his car, foreshadowing Bucks crush injury at end of season (and the hand holding parallel is not lost on me either - Thomas holding Mitchell’s hand and Eddie being the one holding Bucks).

Mitchell 2 is Eddie’s foreshadowing - he blows out his brains to protect his heart so it can be transplanted into his son. This is foreshadowing Eddie’s mental health breakdown - he neglects brain in trying to protect his son - his heart - Mitchell’s heart is a literal one and a metaphorical one while Eddie’s is more just metaphorical.

Then there are the two Freddie’s - Freddie Costas sets of bomb that crushes buck and Freddie Vaughn is the guard who is lax with Mitchell and ends up injured at the initiation of the prison riot.

And now we have two Thomas/Tommys - both who seem to be there to direct Buck to the correct path in some way - Thomas set buck on the path of you make it and it feels to me a bit like Tommy is going to play a part in either reenforcing that concept for Buck (correcting his path) or building onto the idea of making something.

Basically we need to be on the look out for Charlie’s Mitchell’s Freddie’s

#do I make sense - who knows #all I know is that the Charlie Mitchell Freddie Thomas/tommy if it all lives rent free in my brain #the seven episode gaps is also very 👀👀👀 because 7 is a magic number #and here we are in season 7 and somethings about to start happening #and season 8 will be the seventh season of the buck and Eddie dynamic so if it comes to fruition in s8 the 7s are still at play #seven in numerology is connected to wisdom intuition and higher self awareness #it’s also a number thought to lead to big shifts in a persons life they have a positive impact #so make if that what you will!! #911 spoilers #eddie diaz #evan buckley #Mitchell Mitchell Charlie Charlie ambulance #911 abc

I have a groundbreaking concept.

A wedding episode/story where nothing unusual goes wrong (or even NEARLY goes wrong) and the audience and characters both just get to enjoy this big event without it going off the rails at any point.

#this is not inspired by any particular case just by my general grumpiness with the way Wedding Episodes seem to pan out #i don't WANT something to go dramatically wrong! i don't want the wedding to be called off or end up cobbled together out of the wreckage! #this should be a great opportunity to show your characters' bonds and love for each other--both in the pairing and the community around the #also i just hate seeing people's hard work and plans wrecked and do you know how much work goes into a wedding?? #i WANT to see the dress and the cake and the flowers and the reception that they worked so hard on actually come to fruition #but probably most of all and especially. weddings ARE supposed to be the start of a Happily Ever After and if you've done your job right #then the characters getting married should have MERITED that #the plot can continue after sure. but i want them to get One Nice Day for the start of their new life. marriage deserves celebration #and domesticity! marriage deserves the domesticity of an episode where everyone successfully enjoys a really nice party after the wedding!

Controversial take that may get me hunted down like a wild hog but

Edit: that being said, there’s no anger towards the original poster and if you find the original post and send hate, I’ll find you, cause that shit isn’t okay. My annoyance is with the general fanbase completely sanitizing characters because literally nobody here (maybe with a few outliers who are way less bad than others) are good. And it’s okay to like characters who do shitty things, it makes them interesting, it gives gives depth. But do not pretend like everything is sunshine and rainbows!

#the bishops are not good people they literally tried to wipe out an entire race so a prophecy wouldn’t come to fruition #also Narinder/toww isn’t a good person either they’re all awful #LAMB ISNT GOOD EITHER YOU ETHICALLY CANNOT BE A CULT LEADER AND A GOOD PERSON

#Doodles #Wander Over Yonder #Wander #Sylvia #Lord Hater #Ahhh ♥ Finally the results of my scribbly warmups coming to fruition #I wanted to make a comparison of how on-model I could get everyone first - thus the doubles from the last set as well #Yeah some of those were meant to be a bit wilder....like I said those were my warmups lol here's where things started getting good #It was still an uphill battle but Wander was where I broke - after his big ol' pile'a sketches anyhow. They weren't quite what I was after #But after a point I just got double mad and started making up weird shapes! #And ended up happy with them :D #He looks quite different but I rather like all those aspects of him haha #Squinty eyes and claws and sharp teeth and a bit of a mullet haha #He's a hippy he deserves a mullet as a treat #And a pipe for good measure #And then if Wander was fun Sylvia was on another level <3 #She has something of a Thraddash thing going for her which was not what I intended especially since I've never drawn a Thraddash #But I mean I'm not mad about it lol the Thraddash are pretty cool :) #I think her bottom lip is the real deciding factor there - it's a cool overlap shape! Very shape! #And I know she's got a comb but fluff was too fun not to try fjdsklafd #I do really love how Wander hugging her turned out there haha <3 They're so cute #And finally a differently stylized Hater! Heck! The sharp cheekbones sticking out from his hood is so fun to me haha #And I'm quite pleased with the how the little divot under his chin's shading turned out hehe #I haven't shown off much of my Skeleton Dance stuff which is a shame! They're so fun! So feel free to interpret that one how you like #I had that image of Wander leaning on a running Sylvia very strong so I'm glad I was able to do it ♪ Buddies

It's actually crazy to think about what's been happening behind the scenes with the Neverseen, because there is so much there that we don't see at all. Like first there's one mysterious evil presence that kidnaps Sophie, then it's two, but it turns out one of them (the Black Swan) is actually good; then the evil group (the Neverseen) rescues an ancient evil (Vespera) from prison; then that ancient evil splits them again, into two different visions and there are TWO Neverseens, one of legacy and mutation, and one that seems to be about still taking down the humans (I think??)—and it seems like Gisela's vision is going to lose, and then she unlocks an ancient evil (Elysian) on her side, and hers is more powerful and kills the original ancient evil (Vespera)—like what has been going ON

#to be clear this is absolutely /pos I am obsessed with it it's so neat and there's so much depth and it's so genuinely exciting and so cool #it's so cool to see all of this starting to come to fruition after so long of a lot of confusion #just gosh!!! there is SO MUCH HAPPENING!!! #kotlc #meta #kotlc thoughts with catherine #stellarlune

I was wondering, is Marmalade is like a bestie to Buggy or maybe Mar's like a child to Buggy?

They look so cute!!! I hope Mar tailors whatever they want and only when they want to. If they want to make things for the crew, good on them. Buggy got to give them fabric to create their fun outfits now.

mar looks deceptively young, but they are actually a bit older than buggy, aka too old to be acting the way they do. thankfully, they have no dignity, and thus this is not a concern to them.

my first thought was "mar is like a little purse dog to buggy." i attempted to have more thoughts beyond this but came up blank. i hope this helps 👍

#purse dog in the sense of 'cute and beloved companion who would perish in 2 seconds in the wild' #mar is a wish fulfillment oc in the sense that i too wish i could do fuck-all and be rewarded for it #ive had some ideas about cross guild era mar rattling around in my head. we shall see if any come to fruition #marmalade

The Role of Memories

(Valentine Extravangaza — Surtr's internal monologue)

My sweet child, and my irreplaceable seed of the future... If you truly wish to leave nothing and no-one by the wayside... Then you must tread innumerable paths of tragedy, again, and again, and again. In the end, the day will come when you remember it all, and on that day will you truly be tested. On that day, you will turn your back on Paradise, with the weight of this world borne on your shoulders. I pray that when it comes, your memories of this sweet paradise will steady your hands and guide your feet.

I find this prediction of Surtr's rather haunting. We know from the main quest what the cost of bearing memories is. We even know what the cost was to MC—not simply the forgetting of their own prior to their summoning, but Lil Salomon too, that feeling of loneliness and incompleteness that follows them even in events, where there should only be happiness.

What will it cost them to take in all of the memories they've lived? And would this include the memories of the Exiles too, the lives they've never lived, but that nonetheless belong to them?

But I also find this hopeful too. This remembrance will put them directly on par with WR and Pillars. And though that last sentence in this prediction is merely a hope, I think it will come true: though the burden will be heavy, it will also ultimately steady their hands and guide their feet. Despite the personal cost, MC will ultimately achieve their goal—save every single person in Tokyo and break through the loops. And I think "every single person" will include MC themself.

#housamo #events lore #main quest lore #lore trivia/speculation #mc trivia/speculation #valentine extravangaza #i love the 'turn your back on paradise' line #not only because fuck eden and utopia #but because paradise isn't paradise if suffering exists. paradise isn't paradise if one person has to bear it all. #(psst read 'the ones who walk away from omelas' by ursula k le guin) #paradise can't exist in a real livable world. there is no such thing as life without pain and sorrow #but a world of hope? a world where people are allowed to hope and their hopes may come to fruition?
