#not saying he WOULDNT be a war criminal’

jim and la’an are suchhhhh a crazy combination bc like. they both underwent such massive trauma at a young age. la’an processed that by becoming very frigid and isolationist; jim in turn became amicable and charismatic. their trauma both drove them to join starfleet, after being saved by it, and the need to protect people after they couldn’t as kids. neither of them open up. neither of them trust easily. they’re both sharp and vigilant and aren’t afraid to get violent. they’re both so lonely. they’re both haunted by their pasts. their love is bittersweet; something they knew could never last.

WELL. I had an anon that was kindly asking me background info on my oc jiro and whatever he had going on with lu ten. I had the Fawking response all done and had it saved as a draft right. and i just needed to switch it to post but tumblr Wouldnt Let Me (it was saying something "went wrong" idfk) so I deleted the draft and was gonna try posting it again thinking the ask would reappear in my inbox but it DIDNT it just deleted the whole ask along with the draft :((( so i'm just gonna post it all here anyway and hope that the anon sees it fhkdndncmxbc,dndkzhnx
-basic stuff: 27 (<-when he meets lu ten), nonbender (<-doesnt need bending lol)
-finest jewelry maker in the fire nation. he also does metal art like embossing and figures and shit. he collaborates closely with famous potters and tailors in the FN to make stuff for the royal family and their special occasions (like holiday and celebration banquet jewelry and bedazzled outfits and shit). he also works with fire nation theaters, to help with their costumes for their more pricey productions. he's made MANY crowns for the royal family as well.
-oldest of 3 brothers. the business he owns was passed down in the family thru generations. jiro inherited (usurped?) it when he was 23, after he beat his father to death for smacking their mother around. their mother lives with the middle brother and his family on one of the outer FN islands. the youngest is estranged and started his own (less successful) business out of jealousy towards jiro.
-neutral on the war in the same way june the bounty hunter is- money is money to him. and when I say neutral I mean neutral. he obviously doesn't get clients or customers from other nations due to the war but if he did then he'd be more than happy to serve them. but his business still wouldn't be affected no matter the outcome of the war because even without international clients his wallet is thick, so he doesn't really care what the outcome ends up being. he believes a true businessman goes wherever the wind takes him and is good at adapting. not a "stuck in his ways" type of guy. the royal family is his top priority client obviously, but it's simply because they pay the most for the finest pieces. it's not out of any kind of loyalty or patriotism.
-jiro likes material things and having money, but he's genuinely super passionate about his craft and the arts in general. he does a lot of other crimes (<- lol) but counterfeiting isn't one of them. all his products and art are genuine, handcrafted, made to detail. he's probably kinda disgusted by the idea of counterfeit and scamming because he genuinely looks forward to the reaction of his clients when they receive what they paid for. he does the act of service, he gets the praise and the money, he's a happy camper.
-despite all of the above, his demeanor is the definition of greasy and sleazy- but he also can be genuinely suave when he wants. he'll charm the pants off your granny. but not sleazy in the same way zhao is, though (cus zhao is no real charmer lol). cus zhao is high in the navy so he's Very stuck up, and he's also an otl (<-???) ass-kisser. he's a slimy douchebag, but still one that adamantly adheres to and enforces fire nation law. he's a guy that has goals and will do anything to get there. meanwhile jiro, you look at him and you know he does criminal shit. he just gives the danger vibe, and he flaunts it with confidence. and you must reach at least level 4 friend to unlock the gentlemanly, white-knight-syndrome side of jiro.
-what jiro DOES do for criminal activity is that as he has most of all the fire nation nobility and high court (along with the Literal royal family) in his pocket. he has eyes and ears in a LOTTTT of people's business. sensitive business. criminal business. blackmail on top of blackmail. he's only loyal to people he personally gives a shit about, and whatever the people he cares about gives a shit about. he's got the love in his heart to make those extensions because he really is thoughtful in nature. but anything outside of that is not his problem so yes he WILL sell your ass out. the most dependable man in the world if he loves you, but the most venomous, backstabbing scorpion-viper if he doesn't care about you.
-and he doesn't hire goons- the business and its dealings are done all by him, and him alone. so if you air out his business or try to fuck with him, he will show up in your house alone and kill you in the next 24 hours i PROMISE you. preferred form of doing so is beating to death. and them is workers arms baby so you aren't getting out of it alive!!! jiro isn't very tall but he is strong as FUCK. and because of the fact that he knows everybody's dirty laundry he gets away with all of it lol. jiro is not afraid of jackkkkk SHIT (<- which is why he's very dependable if he loves you. he's unflinching and dedicated)
-as for him and lu ten: he and lu ten met by chance (they quite literally ran into each other in the palace and toppled over each other), and ended up being twin flames. lu ten's like the orange cat to jiro's black cat. they balanced each other out and jiro was exactly what lu ten needed at the perfect time. their first date or whatever (Doing An Activity Together) was having lunch and tea together in the palace gardens, and it kinda spurred from there. they spent time together like an old retired couple basically lol??? lunches, dinners, long walks from evening to night, doing their tasks in silence but they're next to each other so it's fun (<-parallel play for adults), sitting on benches for hours and just talking and bird watching. two people with tough jobs, so they sometimes forget to stop and smell the roses, but they reserve time for each other so they can stop and smell the roses together.
-it isn't ALWAYS them acting like a retired old couple though cus like I said jiro is a sleaze bag and a flirt. azula was the only one that really noticed and she was very disgusted by them and would constantly swear lu ten has a thing for losers. but then again she'd claim any person lu ten messes with to be a gross loser so there's that
-as soon as they got close to tension hitting a boiling point the siege situation rolled around (<-AVERAGE COCKBLOCKER IROH MOMENT) and lu ten obviously didn't come back. and jiro never let go of it because of all the "what ifs" and how there was something there that was mutual but it never became official or was put into words. so there's more regret rather than bitterness about lu ten's absence in jiro's life. like "right person, wrong time" trope??? but this is the dai li au so they'll be fine eventually lol
-after lu ten died and ozai took over, jiro was silently cut off from the royal family. ozai didn't directly order that or anything but he didn't commission or hire jiro for anything the way azulon always did. jiro also quietly removed himself from the whole political ring and just focused on his work. didn't have a reason to stop and smell the roses anymore, but the work never quits and the world didn't stop turning
-once azula got old enough to be let loose into the playing field, she hired jiro under the table due to her knowing how close he'd been with lu ten (which makes him someone she felt that she could trust), and he got put back into the political game (<- to everyone elses dismay). since her first rodeo was outside of the fire nation, he became her eyes and ears back home.
-and he wasn't forced by her or intimidated by her- he was brought back to life by finally having a real reason to get back in action again. at first, azula being the kid lu ten personally took care of for the first little portion of her life (<-which is a secret jiro knows from lu ten. azula doesn't know about that, and it's gonna stay that way. it's more to be a driving force for jiro. cus jiro has a "whats yours is mine" mindset when he loves someone. so what lu ten loved, jiro also loves. so whatever azula wants from jiro, jiro will provide it to her.) was what made being her guy so easy, but he ends up taking a genuinely liking to the crazy kid. he feels like they get along pretty well cus they're like-minded when it comes to their methods

say what you want about the greens i know everyones awful blah blah favourite war criminal whatever... but the greens never directly targeted children. (and dont argue alicent was trying to get jace and luke killed with the bastardry talk. it was so obvious jace and luke were bastards that rhaenyra even giving birth to them placed targets on their backs - daemon spoke candidly about harwin being their father and he literally lived on a different continent. everyone knew. alicent was anatgonising rhaenyra about it to try to get her to concede her claim to aegon. she had plenty of oppertunities to gather evidence, use her familys connection with the faith and get rhaenyra and her boys strung up if she wanted that). and in the case of aemond killing luke - even in the book it was kid on kid violence that we cant prove wasnt an accident and in hotd what we get is basically vehicular manslaughter.
people will throw around that 'the greens are coming for you rhaenyra, and your children' quote as if its reality rhaenys is spewing. as if we didnt see alicent fight tooth and nail for rhaenyra and her children to be spared any consequences. as if we didnt see the entire council concede to alicent's desire to offer them generous peace terms that included clauses that would have helped solidify rhaenyra's sons legitimacy. joffrey was killed by his mother's own dragon and both of rhaenyras younger boys were left untouched. compare that to the way aegon and helaena's boys were brutalised? beheaded. torn apart. it was aegon ii who spared the pretender gaemon palehair on account of his age and made him a ward of the crown - a boy that (apparently) wasnt even his own son. compare that to the treatment of little jaehaerys at a similar age when daemon decided he deserved to die as retribution for a crime he'd had no part in at all. (another reason to be critical of them including the bs fighting pits story in hotd). rhaenys quote is bullshit. its bias. like half of the dialogue in the show tbh.
and when rhaenyra sees alicent again she has the fucking gall to try and hold alicent accountable for jace and lukes deaths?? as if alicent targeted them? the Hypocrisy. when rhaenyra's husband sent killers to murder an innocent little boy in front of his grandmother and mother and siblings.
if alicent was being an evil bitch then me too because i wouldnt have stopped at just bitchily pointing out rhaenyra's hypocrisy i would have told rhaenyra to go fuck herself repeatedly and at volume

like nothing will ever change if we dont make it change. you people understand that right. we will not fucking blue no matter who our way out of this one. do you understand that.
"the two party system sucks" SO THEN STOP VOTING WITHIN THE TWO PARTIES. "a third party vote is a vote for the republicans" maybe if you got involved in local politics and got organized with your community to collectively back a candidate it wouldnt seem like a moonshot.
look at the collective action to march on DC last week. look at all of the consistent protests happening nationwide. now imagine if all of those people chose to back claudia de la cruz of the socialist party for example (who is indeed a 2024 presidential candidate)
like your defeatism and decision to be like "oh well! let's lesser of two evils our way thru this election again bc at least the democratic candidate isnt attacking us (he is btw)" is highkey a fucking insidious attitude to have. you people have been saying this shit since obama (also a war criminal) and what material gains have we actually had
when will it be enough. when will you take a dedicated stand bro. is witnessing the slaughter of 11,000 people in real time not enough? where is your line?
please comprehend that we live in the imperial core and that our lack of intentional action to combat the imperialists however we can is spitting on the graves of every person in the global south who has suffered so that we can live in comfort

Hello everyone, sorry this took a while. But here are the results of this post. PLEASE READ THE UNHINGED RANDOM ONES. I will put them [HERE] in a separate post, as well as at the bottom of this post.
There will be charts for nice data representation (I used pie charts because I was taught NOT to use them and... fuck the rules)

We had a hot total of 127 people who either commented or reblogged with their opinion in the tags. Thank you to everyone who participated!!
Here are the numbers
31: give it to them
1 draw a sad face on it

4: nope, not touching that
And now for the unhinged answers:
Tumblr media
Here are the numbers:

RANDOM
Rig my house with cameras, assemble all light sources and plug them in, hide the silmaril inside a lamp, withdraw to a friend's place and watch them wander through my house like confused moths. Optional popcorn #noldor enrichment
Bury it in the garden with the potatoes. Good luck with the geese
Hide it in the middle of millions of other shiny rocks and run. Probably after drwaing a smiley on it
Feed it to a chicken and throw the chicken into the depths of khazad dum
Drive into a random direction and chuck it into a landfill
gollum-style underground, wrap it in a dozen bags and dump it into a deep but narrow crevice
Panic, try to eat it, spit it out, panic, dig a hole, throw myself into hole, panic, climb out, wait for them, throw it in their face while panicking
My pocket
Inside a washing machine, they would never look there
Wheel well of my heelies
Behind an army of therapists with a burning commitment to family gruop therapy. Either we'll scare them off or make some progress
Hand it to a little kid on the street
Inside a water mellon and say I gave it to a friend
British museum, god knows they'll never give it back-.
Box of tampons under the sink
inside a large rubber duck
Give it to deadpool
Buy a wedding dress and wait
Bring it to the shire. Even the Feanorians can't come after hobbits without looking like total dicks to a level even they aren't okay with

quark watches star trek season 1 episode 9
theyre beaming down giant... things? drug bottles?
ok this is cargo apparently. youd think theyd use something different for beaming cargo other than what they use to beam down people.
kirk says try not to fuck up so much beamer guy
wow! theres a person in that box!
beamer guy why the hell were you facing away from the teleporter. were you just looking at the wall. well ur knocked out now rip i guess
"penal colonies" so jail planets? icky
stowaway criminal aboard the ship! how the hell did no one notice he was in that box!!! what was even supposed to be in it????
i mean props to them for noticing the intruder in the first act
"interesting. you earth people glorified violence for 40 centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately" spock holy shit
vulkans apparently dont have violence because they lack emotion. are you telling me vulkans wouldnt fight wars for solely strategic reasons. get real, spock, you were encouraging kirk to kill his friend for strategic reasons like 6 episodes ago.
"my name is..." what? my name is... who? my name is... chka chka slim shady
the prison planet is called "tantalus." i feel like it should be tartarus.
"my name is- *chokes*" what? my name is- *chokes* who? my name is-
this dudes fucked
ok so the prison messed with his memories? thats fucked up
kirk says the penal colonies are nice now and they rehabilitate their inmates like hospitals. ok?
mccoy is gut instincts georg
lotta tension between kirk and mccoy today. they should make out about it
ok theyre bringing a psychologist with them and she knows kirk and kirk thinks shes super hot. cool
her surname is noel. she and kirk met at a christmas party. get it
theres a girl here named lethe. like the river lethe. im sensing a motif.
ok wait. the river lethe makes you forget your life. and the prisoner on the ship has fucked up memories. and the lethe girl here is a therapist. hmmmmm
they remove their memories of committing crimes. yikes!
dr noels name is helen. the motif continues.
prisoner guy (dr van gelder) says hes not a criminal and has been driven to insanity by the memory eraser thing.
dr adams (guy running the prison) definitely used the memory eraser on van gelder. hes so evil
star trek says industrial prison complex bad
van gelder compared the memory eraser to death. underworld motif continues
were going insiiiiiide his miiiiiiind
the memory eraser also puts dr adams thoughts in their minds so he can reshape them. yeesh
van gelders actor is so good
kirk NO dont test the memory eraser on urself
ok so this is just creepyass hypnotism
kirk asks helen to give him an "unusual suggestion," helen hypnotizes him into thinking he and her slept together. um. yikes.
DR ADAMS GO AWAY
dr adams is hypnotizing him into being in love with helen. this is a scene from a deviantart smutfic
suddenly helen doesnt want kirk to be into her
unreasonably large air duct
dr adams is definitely into this :/
i think helen just killed a man
spock to the rescue!
oh shit dr adams is getting hypnotized now
it emptied his brain and he died :)
pretty sure kirk is still under the hypnosis effects
"its hard to believe a man could die of loneliness" "not when youve sat in that room" ok so this episode is definitely about solitary confinement
horrifying episode!

💬 - A private correspondence
6/21, 1:27 AM: rMessage Log with Cheri🍒
hey!! i am. so sorry about earlier. absolutely mortified. however. your dad does make an excellent paella. send me his recipe :3 You're asking me to commit a crime worse than treason here, Cher. If I got found out for that I think I'd be officially un-adopted. really??? not the forming a vow with a legendary pokémon thing. the paella??? He takes his cooking seriously. damn. you'd think he'd share it with his future daughter in law of all people~ ghfgjkfdsdfgkjl stop. I am not becoming a mew-haul lesbian. you can't stop it, vani, i already met your parents <3 Kill me. no <3 Then at least be serious... It's not even a month. and 13 ambiguous years of longing!!! Yeah. That. I am so serious, what about that made you decide to... long? vanilla. sweet. you forget how formative it is to have a cute, mysterious criminal(???) jump in through your window and say they need you as a twelve year old. it was just like in those tween romance novels!!! EVEN DOWN TO THE ZORUA EARS!!! Okay, so, a lot of romanticization there. I remember pretty clearly I faceplanted straight onto some dollhouse, and then promptly forgot half of the Unovan I know. Also, you don't even know what I was doing. listen. it's the gap moe!!! terrifying zorua hybrid assassin. incapable of eating with a fork and knife Wait wait wait wait wait. You can get back to clowning on me in a second. Assassin? um. was that supposed to. not be my assumption. i didn't think normal thieves have bloodstains on their clothes or get tracked down by a group of grown men ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...So you met somebody you thought was an assassin. Decided to keep them and their Zorua in your closet for a week while your parents had no idea. And then, once they run away again. You decide. "Yeah, that seems like a reasonable person to seek out again." you're de-romanticizing it! all of the 2AM conversations about hybrids! you trying mac and cheese for the first time and trying to grab it with your hands! and hearing that my family pokémon actually loves me! hearing that i was the only good human you'd ever met! i was swooning! also. you were way way way more normal this time I try. Really really hard. Anyways. For legal purposes. Not an assassin. Never was an assassin. aww you wouldnt kill someone for me 🥺 I wouldn't even know where to start. Ignore the sword and the legendary Pokémon known for fighting in wars. ur so right!! anyways i have. actual research shit to do tomorrow. :((( so no more netflittle and crashing your parents' dinner That's fine. I should probably... actually watch those episodes again. Kind of missed the plot. why??? ur just gonna miss it again next time ^^ ...Night. noooo give me reactions D: night <3

idk if my ask got swallowed by beast that is tumblr or you ignored it so i'll just ask again: do you think ser waymar royce in the prologue is a jaime parallel? he's a commander, young and handsome, cocky and snarky, and a son to a lord, who takes a final stand against the dark and dies bravely fighting an Other with no one else but the reader knowing of his deed.
nah imo. these parallels are pretty surface level. as for the these themes present in the prologue it is not exclusive to a single pov (especially would not say jaime) like this it just permeates the series as a whole. im going from memory here but waymar royce’s whole deal to me is mostly about class/feudalism/meritocracy (more like the lack of), westerosi primogeniture, and the tragedy of young men trying to put meaning to their existence in ‘war’ when there is no place else for them, see the NW also functioning as a place to shove the many knights, lords, criminals, smallfolk etc. with no land/income/resources because nothing is distributed in a sensible way in this feudal society. courage/cowardice/gallantry is significant in the chapter too (what is brave? what is practical? what is selfish and egodriven? is dying for nothing but some personal triumph of overcoming fear like this anything but tragic? is the inherent meaning within that action enough? is it more admirable to try to live to tell the significant tale which would actually save lives? and so on)
these themes r not exclusive to jaime (he likely was not even fully realized as a character by this point anyway), and i dont even think he deals with them in the same way. i do like the idea of jaime’s heroism not being known in whatever form that takes when it concerns endgame because it is poignant with him and his story, and if you want jaime’s story to end thematically on true bravery (i pretty much want the same) then for him imo it wouldnt really be about some gallant fight and ‘dignity’ in the face of death. like even if he falls against the others, at a deeper level it wouldnt really be about that. the text frames bravery as something that can only exist when one is afraid. jaime doesnt fear death. it is reinforced by his actions as well as two clear and sincere statements. especially death in battle. jaime does not want to live that bad, he is consumed by despair enough to not fear losing his life. jaime repeatedly being referred to as courageous by other characters is therefore deconstructed (gets overt especially when he is called craven by brienne during a very important scene), because he isn’t truly brave yet. jaime is afraid to “live.” more specifically standing up and facing despair and the horrors and contradictions of the world. that is what he keeps running away from, and why he stagnated so hard post aerys. he is terrified in the dream. and he is not terrified of powerful figures coming at him with swords, but them coming at him with contradicting oaths, his guilt, and complex truths. he is scared of loss and abandonment. his own darkness. and it is that terror of his light going out when confronted with these things and that truly leaving him in darkness that really scares him. that would mean all purpose being destroyed, and existence being rendered meaningless. “why would the stars want to look down on such as me?” is emblematic of that feeling. it would be the final push into complete nihilism. “choices”, the thesis of his arc, becoming meaningless. this is a big part of him never confessing the aerys situation, because if the result of the confession is like the one in the dream, then that is what will happen. it is deeper than ned, u see him expecting him to come out, but it is not him “it was never him.”everything would become meaningless if that choice of his, in its full context, would be rejected by his ‘heroes’. the whole thing is symbolic of an idealist burning out with his “flame” literally being withered by the complicated reality of what feels like a fundamentally unjust world.
which is why it is so meaningful that he jumps into the pit willingly and kills the beast. it mirrors the abyss that he is shoved into screaming in the dream. if you are not in the pit, you will never confront what you fear most. accepting the horrors of the world and and refusing to fight it under the guise of cynicism and nihilism is cowardice on his part. if you dare to have hope be reignited, it might result in the flame dying out for eternity. and there is no greater risk than that. that is what reconstructing “the brave knight” is about. this is also why he is only really afraid, and tyrion (who says he has never seen jaime afraid like this when talking about the similarities between his and joffrey’s eyes during the latter’s death, as well as repeatedly noting jaime’s bravery) notices it and is taken off guard by it, when he is confessing the tysha situation. imo, him being truly brave is confronting truth, confronting the darkness, and being brave enough to not let the light go out, just like the example brienne shows, and allowing hope to exist. allowing yourself to still care despite the horrors that rendered you so cynical. not letting that flame be withered and destroyed by them (is that flame your humanity, hope, or whatever else of the sort? i think the symbolism is ambiguous enough to allow and encourage interpretation, but i read it as deeper than just literal ‘life’. it is purpose to existence) as far as dying is concerned, i dont really care atp. it is kinda open still with cersei saying “you will die when the flames die” and brienne’s still burns, so there is light in “his darkness.” but i can see his arc potentially building up to some kind of tragedy/death. i just hope to see him believe in and understand true heroism by the end of his story, and know that his choices hold meaning despite the contradictions and that the horrors can and should be fought, no matter the cost, personal pride and fear and despair be damned. no more going away inside.
feast makes it clear that the vows cannot compromise, so it is time to choose. brienne is the key representation of that for him. and there is a reason her sword keeps burning. there is a reason he dreamed of her. a reason he dares to dream again. there is a reason he comes back.
and i think all that can still exist in a ‘tragic’ or a bittersweet ending.

i do agree with you on childe being a good brother thing, he puts his family before everything else and i find that admirable, but i wouldnt really call him morally nuanced just because he’s a good brother. like, he very much will bring up how much he wants to kill something at any given opportunity. (also taking note of his prior atrocities) also also while we’re here i’ve seen people say childe is genuinely stupid?? and it kind of just baffles me how people can read his character that way. at most he’s stubborn and willfully ignorant at times, but dumb?? how.
i think he's not morally gray because he's a good brother though. for me it's very hard to put him in the "straight up evil" category because he isn't evil
he does bad things on purpose, absolutely, he is a bad person, but also (hot take alert) i want to take into account that the game itself has skewed morals,,,,, we fight treasure hoarders, who are literally just normal ass poor people, with weapons and visions, so like? you get my point
he kills for fun but i still think he's fully redeemable because it's clear that he doesn't do it for the sake of just ending lives, but for the sake of fighting, which is a remnant from his abyss times, so he's not innately evil in my opinion
like my point is that he is a bad person but not a straight up villain? you know what i mean? it's hard to explain but i think even when we see him commit acts of violence they're motivated (not justified, but motivated), we haven't seen him commit any act of violence that hasn't been motivated in some way, except for like his demo where he attacked some random treasure hoarders but like, again,,,,, so do we
this sounds idiotic when im saying it like this but yes he did wrong yes hes a war criminal yes he hasnt owned up to his wrongdoings yes hes a violent and dangerous person and yes hes still redeemable despite it all in my opinion. hope this helps
anyway yeah also people who call him stupid piss me off like he's just young, hot headed and stubborn and he has no regard for his own safety, but that doesnt make him stupid jfc he's just some guy.
it's almost like something incredibly disturbing and traumatic happened to him when he was 14 (literally neurodivergent and a minor /j) that altered his psyche and physical form and changed him fundamentally as a person. mh. go wonder

I myself see ZIM as ageless, but I find the kid-thing funnier than the adult, because in the fandom the "Old man ZIM jokes" I see are just parroting the same punchline most of the time, like: "Haha, ZIM is a pathetic looser who has no life, getting beaten (up) by a kid!" And "I am old, but I am stuck in elementary school, I am a clown." - says ZIM, feeling sorry for himself. I am pretty sure if ZIM wouldn't find the school valuable at all, he'd find a way to leave. He is not the one who gives up easily. Of course, the jokes can be done well, I found a couple of them funny, my problem mainly is how repetitive they can get. I just want some variety... I mean there are other kinds of jokes with it, but I saw the two of the most, and like I said it got tiring for me. It's not the people's fault, everything is new when you enter the fandom, so it is just probably comes with being a fandom for years. I started noticing patterns, tropes, trends, re-eccuring discourses...
oh i completely agree, part of zim being a kid is that its funny as hell hes a 12 year old (equivalent) war criminal.
see thats also my issue is that it just becomes so...depressing. when zims an adult. i guess thats kind of the idea but it just feels so sad when most fans love zim, love his funny antics, i wouldnt want him to be some loser adult that has no hope of any kind to improve or grow and his only reason for being outcast is that hes a moron and not much else.
it also tips the scales massively in dibs favor because if zims full grown hes stuck, dib needs to wait out a few more years and then he can easily overpower zim. theres no room to keep their game going, it just ends.
theres far funnier scenarios with zim that work better if hes ageless or a kid, having him be an adult limits it to depressing humor that i just cant personally enjoy.

56. Fairies [I] :
Tumblr media
(i mean... surely not. its not framed in a way that makes you suspect it... but *i* suspected it, so it either says something about either the comic or myself) (the suspicions are feet, macro/giant, and stepping on/crushing all in one make of that what you will)
anyway
if annet created fairies because someone asked if they existed who knows what other ungodly supernatural aligned abominations were out there. have you ever seen a future scifi movie where instead of a killer alien it's a killer werewolf in its most classical definition?
i said it before ill say it again this future would be terrifying to live in once you actually stop and think about it
We noted that one of them had the degree of a Wizard and the other that of a Guide.
ladies, whatever guide with a capital G you think he is, he's not. he did TOUR guides. the rest of the words in that title are just as important.
and frankly he doesnt strike me as the type of guy who would actually be an entertaining tour guide other than letting the people loose in the dead zone and saying "dont walk away from me theres monsters in this place" like. i cant imagine he'd be the type to have a route and speeches ready. dunno. i could be pleasantly surprised. "if you have any questions HESITATE to ask" ass man
"LIBRARIANS?"
"Umm... okay those used to be real, I think. However, they're all extinct now."
YOU THINK?????? for all the future flaws id be pressed to believe they wouldnt make up some sort of e-librarian AI for e-books. it makes the joke not funny (sad) though so yea ok
WHY ARE THE FAIRIES SHE/HER-ING CAPTAIN IM SO FUCKING ANGRY
god it can be so painfully obvious when the rewrite stuff kicks in. even if it started with the fairies panels where captains like "i wonder what santas bringing" (incidentally youre breaking my heart only slightly by seperating the funny panels for serious rewrite stuff. i understand it needs to flow somewhat decently but it breaks the original joke flow. no way to please both crowds) the tonal whiplash from the previous browser wars to this is insane. romac truly is an exercise on how to create the best characters ever and then nerfing them endlessly or however the tag goes
Upon closer inspection, he smelled like... crime. It became clear to us that the Dead Zone had claimed possession of this villain, taken him under her wings.
ma'am youre being very ableist right now. hes not a criminal hes unconnectable. he cant fucking hear you.
yeeeees enter Aliens. with Aliens comes 117 another great character (likely equally nerfed to oblivion. into some sort of catgirl yandere. alas)
"Hush, my pretties," the Wizard accosted. "I will take a single acorn from your tree with me, and plant it at the right place and the right time ...And from it, a new forest of Dean shall grow and provide splendor to the touristy masses!" We rejoiced much at such proposition and asked what is to become of us. "You can live in my pocket till such time!" The Wizard assured us, opening a coat pocket.
.... rewrite complaints temporarily drawn out this was a cute exchange.

WARNING, IF YOU DONT READ THE MANGA THEN DO NOT READ THIS POST SINCE IT MAY HAVE SPOILERS
Hello My Hero Academia fans!👋
With episodes of season six of the anime coming out and i also found out that the seventh and final season of this series( which im sad about since i wanted to see more especially how they heal and bond after the war and maybe a look of them in the future after graduation) may come April 2024 and that provived mangaka Horikoshi will end his series by December 2023. So yeah it might or might be waaaaayyy looong before we see the end of the final war, and mostly Bakugo being revived ( which its killing me! WHEN and WILL Dynamight wake up when??!!), since new chapters come out after a week passed by. And season 6 will have 25 eps in total likely running til the end of March and will adapt entirely of the PLW arc and might end on chapter 327 on the escapees arc. But the may quicken the pace of the middle cjapters and adapt them to include the star and stripe arc amd rearrange a few scenes from chapter 335 and the end the season with the revelation of the traitor.
So the season 7 will mostly be from the traitor arc to the final war battle arc. And it wouldnt be surprisimg if the season 7 starts while the manga isnt finished yet due to Studio Bones reputation with deadlines.
Also, before everything, for those who dont know the next issue comes out January 23.
And honestly, i kinda feel bat that this might be the final season since i wanted to at least have a season 8 set after the war and how life for both the characters and their world goes on and becomes and how it had affected them amd how they heal and bond after what happened. Especially Yuga Aoyama since guilt its not something that goes away and especially with his parents arrested, what will become of Endevour and Hawks after that and will they still be top heroes, and what about the ones who retired because of pressure and critisism, will they come back? And how will the Todorokis and Present Mic amd Aizawa deal and heal with the possible future of lossing their loved ones ( Touya/Dabi and Kurogiri/Oboro) once again? I really hope we get to see even of its just a bit of those in the manga and final season if possible. Maybe even a scene of Yuga sharing lunch with his classmates instead of eating alone during lunchtime
And there are still questions that may i still habe, some of the final fight: Will Bakugo wake up and when?, Is "Kurogiri" Kurogiri, Oboro, or a mix of both and which side will he choose at the end? Will he die or live? What will happed at the kid inside Tomura/AFO? Will they susceed in merguing completely or will their instability get worse? What will become of hero society in Japan after this with so much distrust, escaped criminals and big lack of heroes because of either death or retirement?
And there are a bit more questions I have and that I really want to see soon in either the manga and anime, like how much time(months or weeks) passed since Izuku left UA in April to when he came back to the final war.
But a question that really caught my eye and many had for a very long time and we hope we get to see at the end of the war: Will Shinsou join Class A or Class B? And what will his hero mame be? I especially want to hear his name since i never seen anticipation to hear an official hero name since Bakugo, oh exuse me: Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, poor him since he got a different and not so good reaction that was definetly not fear or amazement to this name from both heroes and villians, except Mirio of course.
Its hard to say with the way he interacted well with both on th A vs B battle and there are many pros and cons on each side, here is a link to a list of those
Amd even of many want him to join class A, since Aizawa its his mentor, deserves more spotlight and the way he interacted and reacted to their friendliness and cheerfulness on chapter 334 (which reminded me of Aizawa with his old gang, Hizashi and Oboro and coincidentally he was called Mini Aizawa by Present Mic ), he being in class b could also be a possibility, with the effectiveness and strenght and level he is still on and because they may not want to be guided by favoritism.
And especially with the chance that someone will have to leave either class for him to join. And two of the main candidates, both by fans and in fanfic, for him to replace are either Momoma for his insanity and Mineta for being a pervert. But this recent arc also give the possibility for other that those two to leave, maybe minor characters from b or from a like Koda or Sato, and honestly i like many others dont want none of neither class, to the exception of Mineta, to leave. And the chance is high because of the space left because of Izuku leaving on April amd Bakugo's death, if he doesnt wake up, and chance of either of those two becoming quirkless because of injuries or a future sacrifice, even if its possible that Midoriya will re enroll at UA. It even be Yuga,i mean if he gets forgiven by both the school and police law and doesnt give up on his dream because of his past. And Aizawa told him during the interrogation that when the war its over he may not have a home at U.A. anymore, a friend even had the theory that he might transfer to another hero school like Shiketsu, hope that none doesnt happen, and that no one has to out for Shinso to be in.
I really hope this gets cleared and revealed soon, ans not to play favorites but i think he would be bettee in Class A becausw of their history, support and cheerfulness and would make another great rival for Izuku.

okay but heres the thing: from robbys perspective, johnny was the aggressor during that final fight. from the way robby was talking it’s pretty clear he didn’t know about the home invasion. so to him, johnny is just randomly bursting into the dojo and trying to beat kreese to death—again for what appears to robby as no reason at all. then johnny sends him flying into a locker and knocks him unconcious so he doesn’t see the rest of the fight, doesnt see kreese try to kill johnny and daniel. but he also doesn’t hear johnny apologizing to him. robbys leaving this entire interaction thinking johnny is just some sort of deranged sociopath, and not knowing that’s actually describing kreese. season 4 will be an adventure.

“essek is a war criminal” dude, he’s been a war criminal since his first introduction, because the only war crimes he’s committed are torture.
war crimes are very specific things. essek only revealed that he had committed regular crimes which, unintentionally but not unexpectedly, caused a war.

𝑆𝑎𝑝𝑛𝑎𝑝𝑠 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑//𝑆𝑎𝑝𝑛𝑎𝑝 𝑝𝑡 4
Masterlist // child reader ML //
Tumblr media
Sapnap x reader !p !child reader
Pronouns used: none specified!
Warnings: swearing, mentions of death, casinos
➳➳➳➳➳┄┄※┄┄➳➳➳➳➳
𝐊𝐢𝐧𝗼𝐤𝗼 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝗼𝐰??
Quackity was telling you all of his plans
He rambled on for hours of his ideas for casinos and how he was going to marry Karl and sapnap
It sounded great
He had his whole plan set up! He even had Sam helping him with the building
But then he left
Just like everyone else
But that was fine! You were just with sapnap
Before Karl came running over rambling on about needed to move his library
He had a library?
“[Redacted] you need to stay close, please”
You looked at him weirdly
Who the fuck was [redacted]
“Karl my names Y/n you idiot” “flame..” “sorry”
He didn’t even notice it and then you had to spend the next couple days hauling over 100 books
“Oo hey what are these! The covers look really weird”
You had found his time travel books
Woops
That man raced over and in the kindest way possible, snatched it from your hands
“Don’t touch those, they are my special books”
You just shrugged and let him be, he freaks you out enough
So you all traveled to this area in the spruce forest and built a really ugly mushroom hut
But hey it’s fine! Foolish thankfully came around later that day and made everything better
So you stuck around
Maybe you needed this, this new start
Oh but prime knows that wouldnt last long
Karl started forgetting
At first it was simple things as just forgetting where he was or little stumbles with names
But eventually he was going away longer and longer
He started calling you by these strange names, some that sound Victorian and western and others that are unlike you
One day he didn’t call you by your name at all
You were hanging around the Sakura trees and the big yin Yang pond waiting for sapnap to come back with George
Then you saw Karl exit the library, running up to him for a hug
It’s been two months since you’ve seen him
You fucking hated it but you couldn’t help but consider him another parental figure
He loved it
But he just stood there as you wrapped your arms around him
Expecting the usual “[reda]- Y/n, I’ve missed you so much my sweet flame!”
But there was nothing just a sad one sided hug
“Hello? I’m sorry but do I know you?”
You were ready to cry
“I’m sorry, I uh must’ve mistaken you for the wrong person” “No that’s fine! Hugs are nice?”
So you left and ran into the library
Scouring throughout all of the books until you found them
The same 8 books you shrugged away
You read through all of them along with Karl’s other journals
You didn’t like going through his stuff especially, a whole invasion of privacy
The more you read the worse it got
What were you gonna tell Sapnap?
Who the hell is James, and [redacted]?
And why couldn’t he stop
It’s no use anymore
You were simply just forgotten
𝐋𝗼𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬
The closer you got to the large building, the sicker you got
Kinoko Kingdom was supposed to be your free pass
But somehow you always end up here
You called for Sam on the comms waiting for the beep
The inside looked great to say the least
“What are your past relationships with the prisoner?” “No answer.”
“Where are you currently resided?” “No answer”
“Do you believe the prisoner deserves his sentence?” “Maybe”
You put all your shit in the locker and followed him through all the safety checks
“I’m glad you didn’t bring anything with you”
You stood on the platform heart racing as the lava went down
It was like a ticking time bomb
The small squeaks and scratches of the hovering bridge
He just stared at you
That sick stupid mask was broken by tommy that day in the black stone room
So you had to look into his face
Lets just say he looks good in Orange
“Barrier up or down?” “Down”
He backed up into the corner as you stepped in
Smiling
Once the lava cascaded down your smile turned into a sick frown
“Hello” is that all he had to fucking say?
“Screw you. Fuck you. Damn you”
He just looked you a small chuckle escaping from his lips
“Those all mean the same thing.” “Well I’ve been living in cinnamon town for the past couple months, and I’m ready to fucking burn some buns”
Yeah he just laughed
“I’ve missed you Hot shot”
“You ruined our damn life!”
Someone went quiet
“If you didn’t have to have a petty little war, or criminalize children we could’ve been fine! It could’ve just been you, dad, me, and George.”
You were pissed, everyone just kept leaving you.
Tommy and Tubbo, Quackity, Karl, Dream, and hell even Wilbur
“You come and visit me, after not having seen me for months and you just yell? Not a hello or ‘how are you dream?’ ‘How’s prison dream’ ‘how can I help you get out of this damn place’ “
You just sat down ready to just walk out into the lava
“I’ve been stuck here for months! None of you even cared enough to visit me, hell even Tommy came around.”
You might have felt a little bad after leaving him
The prison was cold even tho lava was flowing right there
“Why would you leave the discs alone..” “Because I had to end it.”
What were you doing here
What were you planning on saying?
“So, what do you do in prison”
“I have a clock.”
You got up to go look at the pretty clock
Then threw it at his face
“Ow” “deal with it bitch”
The longer you stayed the worse the feeling in your stomach got
so you buzzed for Sam waving goodbye
“Wait.. Do they miss me?” “Can’t say, but I think this may be for the best.”
He wanted his best friends
But he just got the annoying teenager
Oh but that wouldn’t be the last
𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬
You got a letter in the mail one day
Who the hell uses letters??
You were shocked to see the address and the small post card
“Come around some time”-Quackity
Ans on the back it had the cords
Oh well what did you have to loose? Sapnap was focused on Karl
and well Karl didn’t even know you
So you set off
It took you a couple hours travel by horse to get to the desert area
The large sign blaring in the red text
You gotta admit the place looked beautiful
There was a giant dick and different shops
You were shocked to see this random un human like guy
“Hello, I am Charlie a totally human guy!”
Yeah totally not slime
“I’m uh, Y/n?” He reached out for a handshake sort of thing
“Dap me up!” “Another time Charlie”
Maybe when you had hand sanitizer
“Ohh so your Y/n! Mister Quackity talks about you all the time, come on in!”
You were skeptical but followed anyways
Stopping in your tracks when you saw Fundy
“Furry?” “Fire shit?”
You went over to give him a side hug, ruffling his fur
“What the hell are you doing here ginger boy!” “Oh you know, just escaping nightmares”
You were confused then just let him be
You walked to the entry way of the place
A beautiful pond with flowers and an arch
“Did what the place where Mr. Quackity was going to propose!”
Going to?
You shrugged it off following inside
You hated to admit it, but you were excited to see him
Yeah you really needed a parental figure in your life at the moment
So when you saw him, he immediately pick you up in a hug
You didn’t fail to notice his change in appearance
That beanie stayed the same tho
Thank god
“Hey hey! Let me show you around the place, we can also go for lunch and talk.”
The casino looked great to say the least
Loud music booming from the speakers, along with the live jazz band on the side
Slot machines were going off every minute
“Have a chip, something to remember this by”
He handed you a red poker chip
It was a cool one tho, in the middle has a blocky sort of smile
Creepy and dopey.. sick!
So you put it around a spare silver chain
“So how have you been kid? ‘Ts been a while hasn’t it.” “Could be better..”
You both walked around the city in silence, offering to go in the super model shop
“No” “why not” “keep walking”
On your way to lunch you had to squint at what you were seeing
“Oh my goodness you’re still alive?!” “You’re alive!?”
You and revivebur just stared at one another
“Yeah he came back after I died!” “you what now-“
You just stared at Tommy and back to Wilbur
Oh god those shrooms were messing with your head
You should’ve gotten out of there a while ago
Quackity came over placing his hands on your shoulders
“Do I have to execute you both? Get off my damn property”
“Sorry Q. Say, Y/n wanna join Lmanburg 2.0?”
You back away holding your hands up
“I denied that offer once, and I’ll do it again. Fucking zombie freaks”
You obviously muttered the last part
Why the fuck did dream revive those two shits??
When did Tommy even die??
Your visit here has just gotten weirder and weirder
𝐌𝗼𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬
Quackity got you away from the brits as quick as he could
So he brought you over to his office
“So kid, how’s your dad..”
Ah you expected this question
“How the fuck am I supposed to know. He’s living his life, Karl’s time traveling! Oh yeah did I mention he doesn’t even remember me.”
He looked at you with wide eyes
“So I’m not the only one they forgot..”
You slammed you hands on the fable dramatizing the situation
“How would you feel about moving here? I mean you could work for me in the casino!”
You thought about it for a second
You have two options
1. Live in shroom town with bubbles
2. Move to las Nevada’s with Quackity
You were sure Sapnap wouldn’t mind
I mean would he even care?
He hasn’t for the past couple months!
“You feel abandoned there, over here there are hundreds of people. You’ll have the time of your life”
You thought about it for a sec
“Alright hand me a contract”
So you signed
Making deals with the devil huh
Little did you know it would cost you your life
Devils little soul
➳➳➳➳➳┄┄※┄┄➳➳➳➳➳
and this is the finale! I will take requests for sapnaps child, and I’ll do some shit with Quackity and the casino and go in more depth if wanted!
As always request and ask anything! And ask if you want to be on a taglist (child reader or general)
For those on the taglist I don’t know if you wanted to be tagged for all child reader shit or just dreams child.. so please tell me :)
