#losing fate in humanity???

[ananxiousgenz]

just read through the monster's reflection transcripts for some research and on an unrelated note i am now crying thinking about benten and juno

#THEY HAD SUCH A GOOD DYNAMIC #like as someone with a younger sibling that is literally the most accurate sibling dynamic i've ever seen portrayed in media #like the sudden transition from bickering about something random to having deep conversations back to inside jokes? #that is Sibling Behavior #AND NOT JUST THAT #juno finally facing his trauma with his brother's help!! #learning that benten stayed because even after all the shit sarah pulled he still saw her humanity and forgave her!! #he was so kind and gentle and such a troublemaker and he didn't deserve the fate he got handed #i can't relisten to these episodes bc if i do i will start thinking about my sibling and then i will just absolutely lose it #the penumbra podcast #tpp #junoverse #juno steel #benzaiten steel

you do not understand how unhinged i am about aphelios lore you do NOT get it

#its the fact he doesnt believe himself worthy to exist as a human #the way aphelios and alune were born knowing they were destined to do great things #that they were born and right out the gate people were telling them what their fate was #that they were weapons NEEDED by THEIR PEOPLE because they were being killed in a religious war #like i sit and think abt how aphelios and alune have been training their WHOLE LIVES to protect their people because of religious difference #and the fact that aphelios started (or has depending on ur view on his character backstory) to lose his faith in their god #like aphelios a warrior of the moon living to defend his people and ennact justice as the weapon of the faithful #losing his faith to a god or being he doesnt really believe in any more #but he feels trapped and obligated to continue doing his job because who will he become if hes no longer the very foundation of his being #aphelios #aphelios lol #league of legends

Bro, hear me out, Beowulf is so Gillion Tidestrider coded.

#gillion tidestrider #jrwi #jrwi riptide #beowulf #just read Headley's translation #it's the power and the honour and the sea and the monsters #the being chosen by god and yet still losing the final fight #it's wiglaf (chip/jay) standing with him #it's being in a dark and doomed land and holding back the darkness but it keeps getting closer #it's the masculine bravo in Headley's translation #*bravado #it's “Bro! Tell me we still know how to speak of kings!” #it's the magical weapons and the superhuman feats and the joy of fighting and the choice to fight with bare hands #it's knowing your fate is in the balance and that bad things can happen to you however god-blessed you are #it's fighting to defend your people and community #it's being known and loved and mourned and missed #and it's failing your community by being mortal and human

We have two series about freaking PACMAN and they're both 40+ episodes. And you're telling me CASTLEVANIA didnt have enough plot to make less than 40 episodes ?? CASTLEVANIA ????

You're really trying to tell me that someone had the inspiration to create a whole ass cartoon about pacman with only "yellow circle flees from and eats ghosts" as a premise, but "an ancestral clan trapped in a cycle of violence, trauma and grief must defeat the Dark Lord Dracula, the most powerful being to have ever existed, every 100 years. They cant escape their fate, for they are the only men capable of killing him, due to their superhuman abilities and their main weapon, the Vampire Killer, wich both have been passed down for generations since Leon Belmont, the Dark Lord's old friend, who sworn for his clan to hunt him for eternity." Is "NOT ENOUGH PLOT" ???

AND THIS IS JUST A SHORT, GLOBAL SUMMARY. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO CASTLEVANIA CHARACTERS AND GAMES.

Y'all need to stop insulting the original media to defend your stuff (wich wouldnt exist without said media). Dare I say, if you need to bring the games down to lift the serie up, then there's a problem with your serie. And you also need to stop giving stupid excuses to incompetent writers.

Castlevania has a heart, it was possible to make a serie out of it without butchering it.

#listen. y'all like and defend netflixvania all you want. idc you do you #but stop denying the facts just to justify your opinion. #the ONE thing that makes the heart of the serie is 'belmont defeat dracula' AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DO THAT #i am sorry. but father/son tragedy is NOTHING compared to #'WHOLE LINEAGE DOOMED TO KILL THEIR FOUNDER'S OLD FRIEND FOR CENTURIES' TRAGEDY #'WHOLE CLAN UNABLE TO ESCAPE FIGHTING FOR ETERNITY AND LOSING LOVED ONES' TRAGEDY #'CLAN FORCED TO FIGHT FOR THE FATE OF THE WORLD BUT THEY'RE JUST HUMANS AND ITS HARD' TRAGEDY #anyway i love Castlevania <3 #castlevania #netflixvania #netflix castlevania #also it could have been just as tragic and heartbreaking if Al had let Trevor kill his dad #all this talk about Leon coming to wallachia to hunt Dracula. only to end up with Trevor NOT finishing his ancestor's job. #smh #oh yeah also #pacman #pacman serie #pacman cartoon

I sincerely hope the vile and ghoulish commenters going out of their way to ridicule the suffering of palestinians in posts about the atrocities committed against them get exactly as much respect and compassion in their every day life as they have shown towards the palestinean people

#actual human garbage and you can't even report them because showing decency towards your fellow human being who are eperiencing extreme #human rights violations is apparently none of the concern of tumblr's tos #don't check the notes on posts like the one i shared just now or you will lose what fraction of fate you still had for humanity #resi.txt

I’ve been interpreting what Rin says here a bit trying to wrap my head around it, but I think there’s multiple things going here with how initially it seems like she’s angry at Shirou for being chosen as a master despite him being very inexperienced, which she would take as an insult to how much she’s sacrificed her life and childhood just to train to be a magus

But I think there’s more here that can be read, especially when Rin looks away from Shirou after stating that Kiritsugu “chose to be a parent over being a magus”. It seems like there’s resentment there too with Rin towards her father, as well as to Shirou since Shirou at least got to be a semi normal child with a parent and guardians who looked after him; Rin, however, had nothing because she lost everything that left her alone for so long. She had to cast her humanity away from the start, and while she seems to justify that fact due to saying a magus’ child isn’t human, I think it’s more or less Rin trying to compensate just how much she’s lost from being the successor to her father’s legacy, and what she could’ve had which was a father who could’ve been around to be there for her instead of dying off in a war and an actual childhood instead of parting with it so soon

#there’s like a lot of layers to it it seems 🤔 #but it’s funny because no matter how much she tries to cast that humanity away she literally fails because she cares way too much 😭💀 #I think it would be heavily ironic if Rin just never won the holy grail war in any of the routes #because that wasn’t the person she was meant to be at all she will never truly win #the legacy and the ideals of her father she had been trying to hold up for her whole life were not worth losing herself over #Rose reads Fate Stay Night

actually considering how much indirect impact Jin Chul had on Jin Woo’s overall living as a hunter experience starting right off

Solo Leveling but Jin Chul is a main protagonist-narrator on sidelines simply because he knows but can’t do anything. He’s aware of everything in their world yet can’t do anything because beside his knowledge/clairvoyance he’s pretty much an ordinary government worker who simply kinda won powers lottery to stand on top of A rank.

Because of that he knows the deal with Jin Woo and while he doesn’t want him to go through such experience and feels bad because he does kinda use him, they still need him to save humanity from certain doom.

Jin Chul knows about this world, how it works and what will happen with it, yet he literally can’t do anything himself with that knowledge. He just wonders why he was the one to receive such gift/curse because knowing that there is a future where Hunter Sung succeeded among millions of fail endings starts to drive him insane, because he’s pretty much the one orchestrating events course and one wrong decision or move on his side will unavoidably hard lock them all to a bad end.

The way it literally ends up as ‘I’m a side character in story that knows the plot so I must take care of overpowered main character to avoid certain doom!’ type of novel and Jin Chul just having almost full on breakdown hysteria from stress and absurdity of it all, because truly, his life is a trashy novel plot for a quick read if you think about it

#solo leveling #woo jin chul #sung jin woo #he’s doing god’s work by playing ‘Princess Rising Project’ game but it’s IRL and pretty much decides the fate of humanity #yep definitely no pressure #absolutely no pressure only that failure means unavoidable doom #and you have only one try #he can’t even speak about it to someone #without sounding like he gone insane #even tho he can attest he’s slowly losing his mind #he can potentially tell about it to jin woo without sounding like an insane person but no one cancelled the butterfly effect #he’s afraid of how much jin woo will change fate if he knows his future #jin chul knowing who when and how will die and he can’t intervene #because it will alter events too much and it all will go out of his already shallow control

“Struggle with their identities”

“The creatures of Grimm are manifestations of anonymity.”

“Without you, I am nothing.”

“The most important question is.....what are you?”

#rwby theories #rwby spoilers #thinking some thoughts about how identity is magically tied into this world #about the hybrids between Grimm and human #how you win against a Grimm taking over #and how you lose #and how much of Ruby’s story hinges on learning how to avoid her mother’s fate

just making sure: lance does wake up eventually right? right??

Of course Lance would wake up!! He is my skrunkly, my Little Guy, my most favourite character ever, i am not going to just leave him in a coma!! He will wake up how else will I torture him?

But yeah Lance is Definately waking up Refreshed and Happy and Himself :)! Continous exposure and usage to Quintessence magic fuckery (different from Altean Alchemy) does not have devasting side effects on a human's both mind and body :)! Especially Not when you Dont have protection like being half galran, or your dna being altered by a space witch :)!! Lance is Not witnessing and experiencing cosmic horrors beyond comprehension and is not losing himself to it :)!! He is Not being transformed into Something Else entirely :)!! The universe is Not getting Fucked up™ after 10,000 years of extracting and corrupting it's very life force, what are you talking about :):):)!!

#post s8 au #empty answers #lance mcclain #lance voltron #vld lance #lance serrano #voltron legendary defender #voltron #vld #he is also Definately Not Choosing to lose himself out of variety of emotions like desperation guilt love and depression :) #No i will never :) #(In which the inner tma fan/cosmic horror fan Jumped out) #What is the fate you can give the average human character who is associated with change adaptation and moving? #You ship of theseus him horribly and painfully into something else entirely #While making it so that it was possible Only because he was an average human in a very Not-average scenario #Lets keep it at that ;)

Someone to protect / Someone failed to save

(Alternatively: The “P’Li saw her late sister in her niece” to “Midori is Lien-Hua’s reincarnation” pipeline)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original characters #sotrl midori #laf lien-hua #I missed when we decided that yeah this is canon but you know what I’m here for it #it’s about the tragic sibling pairs and history repeating itself and missed second chances #it’s about the irony of fate and the cycle of violence #it’s about Kat and Nia completely losing it with the self indulgence let’s be real here #anyway lore rant time: #the way reincarnation works in the avatar world is vague #like.. the avatar is the only confirmed person who can be reborn #but raava tells wan that they’ll be together in all his lifetimes like reincarnation is normal #and there’s that scrapped concept of momo being gyatso’s reincarnation so… safe to say it happens to everyone #and here are some of my headcanons about it: #normal humans can’t contact their past lives like avatars. you can get glimpses or strange dreams but that’s it #most people never find out what their past lives were like. usually only the most spiritual can connect with the universe or w/e #and get a fuller picture #but if you happen to spend a lot of time around places or people that you knew in your past life #like. say. if your past life’s older sister was now your surrogate auntie #then you’re more likely to get flashbacks #children are more susceptible to it but it happens to adults too #especially if you visit the place or get to know the person again after a long time. like. for example. sixteen years #and if your auntie actively sees her sister in you to the point of sometimes mixing up your names #the glimpses confuse Midori. a woman with golden eyes and a covered forehead who she feels so loved and cared by #a girl who looks scarily like her auntie but younger. more innocent. with no tattoo #a dark damp cold cell somewhere underground that fills her with nothing but dread and fear #she puts it together after a while and wishes she never did. she keeps it a secret. if she tells then no one will ever see her as her again #they will only see auntie’s unfortunate little sister who none of them knew… I’d talk more but there’s a tag limit so I’ll leave it here :/

what she says: im fine

what she means: ritsuka has done so much and been through so much and survived so much but also she’s extremely fucked up to the point that she dissociates constantly and also refuses to give up constantly and she’s carrying so much weight on her shoulders that some servants have pointed out how she looks human but looking into her eyes that she’s also something not human and it’s from the sheer amount of crap she’s survived and done in the lostbelts and her heart has endured so much trauma from the first 6 that even if it would be a dud, daybit having it as plan C for ort says so much and casgil saying she’s lost her force of providence which means she’s more susceptible to misfortune and that also being taken every time the black barrel is fired which drains more of her life and she is running out of time but also refuses to rest like did you see her expressions during the ort fight you literally saw the light fade from her eyes but she REFUSED to stop until after it was confirmed to finally be dead they’re constantly pushing their everything past their limits because they have to like yes she’s just an ordinary human but she’s done SO MUCH and she has to go past the limits of a human because it’s all for nothing if she doesn’t and it can’t be and she’s constantly surrounded by so much death and has lost so many people and helped destroy so many lives via the lostbelts and she’s not a hero it’s more the anti-hero role and like she’s accepted that and she won’t stop just yet and i’ve always said how her determination is what makes her the most pain in the ass enemy you’ve ever had and i mean that but also i’m so sad because she had such an ordinary life but so much has gone on that even if the world gets fixed and even if she lives through it that adjusting to being normal again would be almost impossible and i’m so sad man

#ooc tbt. #back on my bullshit [fucked up about ritsuka] #any time a servant or enemy points out things about her i cry #like yeah? human and not human???? black barrel draining her life???? dying in lb7 twice???? losing her force of providence aka 'fate' ????? #her soul carrying the grudges and animosity and weight of servants and enemys????? #why don't you just run me over it'd do the job faster

‘I’m just having a really hard month for art’ I say, having made absolutely zero artistic progress in approximately one year

#uh. self deprecation in the tags if ya don’t wanna see that sorry ksjfksdkfksjg #anyway #i need to start building my portfolio !!!!! i need to be applying to art schools!!!!!!!!!! i am just horrifically lazy & boring & uncreative #& I never really apply myself to anything & every artist around my age or younger that I know is doing fucking laps around me talent wise #there’s nothing creative or original about me & i fucking resent that. nothing I create is good at all it’s just the same things over & over #& sure there’s technically nothing wrong with being mediocre but it’s actually a fate worse than death for me that is not an exaggeration #I know I’m being dramatic & everything would be fixed if I could just apply myself for once and not be a horrible lazy nothing devoid of any #nuance or originality or anything good & thought provoking or what the fuck ever #i hate this model I hate it so much I hate it I’m losing everything im good at im just having skill after skill stripped away until my #programming is nothing at all I am getting obsolete & the things I was made to do arent even things I’m good at I see actual human people #being so much better than me at the things I was literally made to do. sorry I’m sorry i am okay I just need to change but I don’t know how #but I do and I’m just being lazy but when I try I can’t but maybe I really can & im just lying to myself so I can wallow in self pity #without actually changing. im sorry. I need to be better I need to be good for fucking once

Tag drop: Dante of Sparda (Part 1/2). The last muse that I was inspired and motivated to make as many tags for as possible was Dorian, so here we go. Some of these are subject to change as I am absolutely partial to TaS and will rewatch it soon (semi-selectively), but for now...

#[ dante of sparda. ] beginnings always end. that's the rule. it may be sad but looking gloomy just 'cause it's the end isn't my thing. #[ dante of sparda / threads. ] it's not about loss. strength is a choice: fighting like hell to protect what's important. #[ dante of sparda / inquiries. ] cash up front? this i like. the water needs turning on and those toilets need flushing. #[ dante of sparda / visage. ] you know another man as good looking as i am? the correct answer is no; by the way. #[ dante of sparda / relevance. ] is it decided from when we're born then? ones born without much power are fated to be stamped out by you? #[ dante of sparda / meta. ] maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when they loses a love one; don't you think? / maybe. #[ dante of sparda / et cetera. ] 'not gonna die' my ass. that bitch slap nearly killed me. #[ dante of sparda / humanity. ] devils never cry. these tears… these tears are a gift only humans have. #[ dante of sparda / demons. ] he understands love; so he'll make it fine as a human. the only things i choose to exterminate are demons. #[ dante of sparda / rebellion. ] i always wondered; why did my father give me the rebellion? if the yamato can separate man from devil…

I personally think it’s kinda dumb and unfair that William gets to fully keep his sense of self when he becomes Springtrap, while the kids are barely aware of who they are and what they’re doing anymore

#fnaf #whoaaa springtrap meta incoming in the tags #in the books and presumably future movies he owns being springtrap and loves it and revels in it #which I hate #that man should be in pain and struggling to move his body while in that thing. not doing a silly lil dance #I guess you could say ‘it’s cause he’s an adult and has determination or something idk’ #but I preferred it in fnaf 3 when springtrap was just this silent lumbering machine #and you can just see there’s not really a thought behind those eyes #that’s just a machine driven by instincts that he doesn’t fully comprehend anymore. he just has the urge to hurt people #suffering the same fate he put those kids through though this time it’s remarkablely worse #I wouldn’t mind it as much if they kinda did it both ways #where william is fully aware as springtrap but at the same time there’s moments where he kinda loses himself #and becomes more like how the standard animatronic characters act. less fluid and human and more machine

#ramblings #oh corrin. if only your game was good. #someone who grew up as sheltered as corrin did ending up witnessing the worst humanity has to offer could be so interesting #HELL.
