I'm struggling so much to write this fuckin character, man. Like- he's an asshole. He's supposed to be an asshole. But not enough to be unlikable early on or irredeemable. And he's the protagonist, and it's first person pov. So it's not like HE knows he's an asshole or is going to think/act in his mind like he's an asshole. SO HOW DO I WRITE HIM? HEBIRNRIEGNEIGRNID

#i gotta like. reconstruct the entire way i view him while not straying from the plot too far--#makes me wanna SCREAM- WHY CANT YOU BE EASIER TO WRITE FOR?!#little writing rant #sean's soliloquy

Flowey’s so funny and has me so fucked up like he’s a talking flower. He tries to kill you upon your first interaction. He is ten years old. He is damaged beyond repair. He’s a flower named Flowey. He’s become friends with every single character. He’s killed all of them countless times. He knows everything about everyone. He doesn’t care anymore. He takes care of his mom when she can’t take care of herself. He’s killed her before. He doesn’t care if you kill her. He thinks she’s trying to replace him. He just wants to be himself again. He wants to destroy everything. He hates you. You’re the only one who understands him. He wants his best friend back. He’s terrified of them. He believes in kill or be killed because he died by giving mercy to the wrong person. He believes himself to be the wrong person. He doesn’t understand when you show him that kindness he showed others, even when you know he could kill you for it. He’s tried every route. He asks you if you have anything better to do when you try to do the same. He’s a direct reflection of the player. He’s a fucking talking flower named flowey and his only voice line is by Ronald McDonald and his officially licensed plush does a little dance for you

#‘Flowey would listen to i bet on losing dogs by Mitski and cry until he throws up and Chara calls him cringe from beyond the grave’#-me to my friend when I ranted about this last night #he has me so fucked up like oh my god #how is the best character a fucking talking flower #I love undertale’s writing so much like it’s mastered minimal evidence giving away the biggest parts of characters #i can analyze him i can study him under a microscope #i can put him in a terrarium with a sticky note that says gay baby jail you know #he has me SO fucked up #flowey #flowey the flower #asriel #asriel dreemurr #I’m talking about flowey btw not asriel i know they’re the same person but not to me #like how i consider little baby me and fucked up 13 year old me different people #asriel sits on the playground and cries when nobody wants to play warrior cats with him #and flowey sits in the back of classrooms and answers ‘life is MEANINGLESS’ to every question #not speaking from experience ofc (im lying)#love my edgy flower *puts a magnifying glass up to him and notes how fucked up he is*#i think more characters need to be fucked up beyond repair #undertale #utdr #character analysis

Yeah, I know many people have talked about this already but I need to say it as well before I explode.

I love visually seeing how the campers are all age accurately cast. In the books, it didn't hit me as hard because it was something I read when I myself was around 12. Even upon rereading I just go back to my 12-year-old body and the age is just this textual evidence that I KNOW exists but it doesn't truly impact me as much as it really should.

With this still, though, it's clearly visible how young all of them are. And it's scary. It's just the teaser trailer and it's already scary to think just how tiny and innocent they are, and how many hardships they have to go through at such a tender age.

But the scariest part about the scary part?

The youngest campers. That little girl (sorry for the bad quality) who's sitting right behind the girl with glasses looks around 7-8 at most. She's so small, so tiny, and yet she's at a camp where she has to learn how to survive and fight off monsters 100 times her size.

And the essence of all this is exactly what the movies failed to capture. The movies had a mostly adult cast, with zero ideas of what they were doing with the plot and characterization that could make the movies as impactful as the books, and focused a little too much on getting their Percabeth ship going, with absolutely no buildup of trust or slowly falling for each other or anything.

But with this show, I'm sure it'll be a lot more emotional and real because while it is sad that they're all just little kids, it's also a reflection of reality. Not every kid has a wonderful life; we all have to fight our own monsters no matter how young we may be, because life doesn't wait to see how old you are to throw problems at you. It doesn't have an age limit for trauma and hardships. The younger you are, the harder it impacts your life, and them being this small has a much more impactful meaning to it than watching almost adults go through the same problems that often get solved in an underwhelming manner.

mildly frustrated at how many 'we need to talk about lizzie more' posts ive seen and the distinct lack of actual posts of art or writing about lizzie that ive seen cross my dash

like guys i thought we wanted to talk about lizzie and not the fandom's problems when is that happening

#not to be bitter but i got 3 likes and 0 reblogs on my lizzie fic that i posted last night #whereas i usually get like 26 ish notes for my other stuff in the same amount of time #and like. ive seen SO many posts of 'dont forget lizzies story'#i definitely havent!! i am definitely writing lizzie-centric things!!!#its just that no one cares to actually /read/ it #it does feel a little less like caring about lizzie's story and more about protesting against the misandry by using lizzie's story #as an example #idk maybe im thinking too much about this but yk. support artists and writers pls #dont just compain about how no one is writing when i am!!! we are writing!!! we are drawing!!!#are you reading? are you reblogging?#wren wrambles #im not gonna maintag this cause its more of a rant than anything but #yeah

so like, i know we're all into that kind of cute fuzz-ball angel vash, and i get it, i really do, but do you know what we don't talk enough about?

like, i'm just so much more interested in this. thematically. aesthetically. conceptually. like what's even going on here? i don't know, i just need more of this

vash and knives are not just humans with super powers. that's not what independents are. they are not at all human. they are alien in ways we can't even understand. like the above image is inherently gross and unsettling, that's just how humans have evolved to interpret something like this. and i just think that it's interesting that we as viewers eventually must come to terms with the fact that our silly goofy protagonist that we've been cheering for this whole time is really very inhuman in ways that we are naturally averse to.

(credit to @trigun-manga-overhaul for the image!)

#trigun #trimax #trigun maximum #trimax spoilers #vash the stampede #vash #and i could go on about how it just makes more sense that everyone considers vash a “monster” in this version #because yeah you're just some guy and you see that you're gonna run for the hills #but anyway that's my little rant #i could write a whole essay on this but we'll leave it at that for now #gabriel.txt

man, DE fic piss me off a little sometimes asdfgk. i think u guys are greatly overestimating how much police can or are willing to do, and what cases they are incentivized to actually pursue.

when my mom's apartment was broken into a year ago, her next door neighbor literally got one of the guys on camera, and the police basically shrugged and went "sorry! nothing we can do!". when one of the men broke in again a week later, while my sister was home alone, when she could have been attacked, when she saw the guy face to face, again they were like "sorry! nothing we can do!"

which isn't to say i think they should have gone all supercop to solve the case. what the fuck are they gonna do, manhunt the guys across the city based on grainy camera footage? what would my mom and sister even gain from that, what would the community gain from that, having cops hovering around and then maybe throwing two poor guys from the neighborhood into prison? it's just reality that there's only so few resources to solve these things, so many dead ends, and more harm than benefit to the socioeconomic circumstance of the area.

it's just kind of irksome seeing fic casually talk about all the crimes precinct 41 and C-wing are pursuing and solving, when in reality most probably wouldn't even reach their desks before they were waved away as a dead case. or if they did reach their unit, still wouldn't be solved because it's simply too big of a gamble of time and resources. according to pew research center, in the US, about 45% of violent crime cases are solved each year, and only about 18% of property crime. and that's only the solve rate for the reported cases. it is in fact copaganda and simply inaccurate to portray the police as though they make a significant impact on crime, when more than half the time they're going, "sorry! nothing we can do!" 👍

#de tag #a little rant ♥️#i was a little upset earlier thinking about my sister and how traumatizing that was for her #then went to read a DE fic and it just casually mentioning the theft and assault cases they were pursuing and i was like #they literally wouldn't even bother #rankled me lol #police brutality jic /#disclaimer that this doesn't mean stop writing casefic bc i like them :p most of the time #i just hate seeing police portrayed as case solving machines spending their days doing more good than bad lol #disco elysium

not to sound desperate on main but since it's disability pride month it'd be really nice to see some art or fics with disabled Y/Ns.

#muzz mumbles #listen I don't mean to come across as rude or ungrateful for the art/fics we DO have #but as I myself am physically disabled it is so. so disheartening to see so FEW representations in this fandom #and I'm not really making this post to ask for recs #I have seen them all. trust me #and I'm ABLE to have seen every single one already because that's how few there are #and I understand people not wanting to write what they don't know/experience themselves #but I am begging you to just do some research and go for it #for the sake of us out here who have very little to look at and go ''thats me!''#yknow?#ok ok rant over everybody go back to your usual dash scrolling

Greetings

I am on a quest to discover who has the deadliest Moon. So I have some quick questions to ask to determine just how bad he is

Has Moon ever hurt or killed anyone before the virus?

How many people has he hurt or killed after the virus?

Staff

Guests

Children

Does he have any control when he kills? Is he aware of his actions?

Thank you for your time

Oh my Moon is just a sweetheart!

He’s a little awkward but wouldn’t hurt a fly

Look at him!! He’s so friendly!

Seriously though in my headcannon universe Moon’s biggest sin is just being a little too jealous of Sun

He’s just an awkward guy, not really malicious

But when he gets the virus most of his worst most intrusive thoughts get brought up to the surface and leads to him helping with the kidnapping of children for Vanessa and almost murdering someone Sun is close with.

Worst of all he’s very aware of his actions, as they are all technically his own thoughts, just amplified and uncontrollable

#fnaf daycare attendant #moondrop #fnaf moon #thoughts #ask #my art #pfppft sorry I’m using this as an excuse to rant #what would happen in my fic if I ever got around to writing all that lol #drawing is a little messy did it quickly #may fix later hmmm #tw horror #tw jumpscare

Can I Talk About How Much I Love Willow Park for a Moment?

I've talked before about how Hunter and Luz are my favorite characters in toh but she's probably my third favorite and sometimes I literally want to worship the ground her little animated boots walk on. For one, she's Asian-coded and plus-sized, which is rare enough (the only other example I can think of is Glimmer from She-ra, who I also love), but she's actually well-written and complex in the way a lot of diverse characters aren't. She's canonically pansexual, which is a community that gets so little representation its heartbreaking. On top of that, she's in a healthy relationship with someone of the opposite gender, which isn't often seen with bi and pan characters. She's an extremely powerful witch but she struggles with self-esteem issues. She's allowed to be stressed and exceed her limits and break down and have emotions. She's strong and independent without putting other people down. She's kind and compassionate without being a pushover. She's reliable and tough but has limits. She's cute and girly but also a little gremlin. She has an absolutely wonderful character arc and helps save the world. I love her so much I can't even express it.

#also look at her little face #anyway that concludes my rant #I saw a post calling her a pick me for her breakdown in for the future and I just like ?????#and then of course I had to passive aggressively write this #willow park #willow park appreciation post #toh #the owl house #huntlow #pro willow park

I think Richard Papen would love tumblr.

#this little guy would be ranting on here #someone would sent him a message about him being gay #and he would write SUCH A LONG post saying he isn't #and then the next post would be a thirst over Henry #Richard Papen is a tumblr girly #the secret history #richard papen

You can horny post and thirst for Circe and Calypso without making fun of Odysseus, a victim of both, btw. 👍

#You realize you're calling a victim a little bitch right? Do you hear yourself?#You call a man who spent every day crying about wanting to go home and who had his friends held at pig-point names?#A WHORE?!#You could literally just be like “I would love to make potions with my wife Circe” or “Beach life with my wife Calypso” but no.#You had to call the survivor names as well #I love Circe. she's morally gray af and super fun to write but I can think she's cool while knowing she terrified Odysseus.#save me morally gray circe #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #Mad rants #odysseus #circe #calypso #odyssey #the odyssey #tagamemnon #greek mythology #epic the musical #It makes me want to eat a cactus. It's not cute to do this.#Thirst all you want. I don't care. But you don't have to mock a victim of them to do so.#tw sa mention

Writing Mordred is slowly making me realise I don’t actually hate him.

The more I think about it, the more I realise he’s just a traumatised child who felt trapped and ran out of options when every single person in his life who was supposed to help him failed in some way or others. Most in more than one way if we’re being honest.

The kid literally had no one to turn to when the girl he loved died and was openly hated by the guy he’s thought of as a god since he was a child.

Like let that sink in.

Merlin openly wished him dead, and Mordred literally worshipped the ground he walked on.

(I’m usually a Merlin apologist but bloody hell he fucked up at every opportunity when it came to Mordred)

Morgana was the exact opposite of his morals but wanted magic free, (at the cost of non magic users lives which is also problematic, but that’s a different conversation) so he didn’t stick around with her, but when Camelot no longer felt safe for him, he ran.

Which is definitely a trauma response considering how he grew up with the Druids and then whatever the fuck happened after he left them.

Arthur was the only person who was continuously good for him, saving him as a child and later becoming a brother/father figure, but then he killed Kara and Mordred had to watch another magic user be killed by Camelot except this time it was someone he truly believed was good. He didn’t see her attacking Arthur like she did, just that the king of Camelot was killing another magic user which was bound to bring up trauma that he hasn’t felt safe enough to unpack and heal from.

I have a lot more to say on this, but I’ve got to leave for work in a few minutes so I’ll come back and scream about it another time

Fucking Mordred though, poor kid. He really went through it.

#writing this out made me realise I probably kin him a little too much #bbc merlin #mordred #character analysis #merlin emrys #uther pendragon #is shitty #kinnie moment #arthur pendragon #merlin #Kilgharrah hate club #kilgharrah #morgana #they’re all just traumatised kids #Mordred apologist apparently #long post #rant

im actually pretty glad there are at leat a few people that agree with me that totks wordlbuilding/story is disappointing to insulting really

its such a let down and will never stop being a thorn in my side how much build up and potential they wasted with disregarding pretty much everything of botw just to introduce not just less compelling stuff but also kinda undercut what was already there

like im sorry but being able to glue a few sticks together isnt worth sacrificing the buildup from the previous title and quality of the story for

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #tagging it with such just so people may find my rants on my blog lol #also i need to find a way to make the totk rewritten project work without turning it into a second whole ass comic lol #already getting a little too invested(?)#i wanna take as much of the theme and lore from botw and bring full circle- expand it #like what i hoped totk would be ... you know .. as a (supposedly) sequel #begging that someone else will write the next zelda game

istg half of the post-s5 finale fics i see have some sort of disclaimer in the tags or summary (or i even just saw one in the title!!) saying the fic was written because the show sucks or the finale sucked or they just hated everything about it

and it's frustrating because i probably would have enjoyed a lot of these fics! but now i'm not even going to touch them because i don't want to engage with people shitting on the show

#miraculous ladybug #ml fandom salt #like. it's okay if you didn't like the finale #if you're disappointed or wish things happened differently #and it's great to use fic as a means of writing what you wanted to see. that's the point (or at least one of the points) of fic!#but being negative af about the finale isn't going to make people who enjoyed it want to engage with your fan-creations #and that's sad because there IS so much to explore with what the finale left us #and i bet a lot of these actual fics are not salty beyond the author's note/summary/etc...#but because some people refuse to acknowledge that the finale maybe wasn't trying to wrap up everything in a nice little bow #and have decided the show is objectively awful because of it #now i don't want to engage #and i know salt isn't new in this fandom but my god can we calm down for five seconds #kayla rants

New Eclipse is just a feral depressed wet stray cat and we need to talk about that more. And, because he is, New Moon's character is suffering because of it.

Like they could've made Eclipse legitimately evil this time but the guy's just manic and very much has feral stray wet cat energy. And honestly, I wish they'd stop making the evil characters be obviously mentally disturbed.

First New Blood Moon, who has what seems to be a removable defect in their code that's making them have their bloodlust, and now New Eclipse with his obvious manic state.

Why are we letting the 'good guy' decide murder is the only answer to a bad guy with bloodlust the bad guy can't even control, when the simplest solution is just to take out the bloodlust? Why are we having the 'good guy' literally telling the mentally ill and obviously struggling 'bad guy' to off himself?

Why the hell is New Moon's only solution murder? What the fuck is wrong with him that that's his only answer? Why are we letting him decide that that's his only answer? Why is there not a single other character questioning why his only answer is murder? Is everyone just apparently fine with murder when there are simple solutions that don't involve death?
