#not tagging this just to keep myself sane

[evilwickedme]

for the ask game i gotta ask somethin specific just bare w me ok. what is ur LEAST favourite ship in dc and marvel respectfully 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wow this is super late (I've been busy 😭😭) but here we go some hot takes

Marvel is hard bc I dislike a lot of ships but most of them just aren't for me, like it's not an inherent thing where it's the Worst Thing Ever. However!! Starker is fucking awful imo. In the MCU it's terrible bc that's Peter's pseudo father figure, it's fucking gross. It's like shipping buffy and Giles, I'm not going to actively go onto your page and shit on you but I will block you for my fucking piece of mind. It's also terrible in the comics version for a million reasons such as you know literally everything about secret wars, the fact that they have inherently incompatible life philosophies, and the fact that in general I dislike Tony lmao

For DC this is way easier it's all forms of batcest, supercest, etc. Batcest especially since it's basically unfilterable - I've only seen Jon/Kon for supercest which is awful but hey that's just one tag, but batcest shippers are fucking creative about it. Again, I'm not going into your fics and commenting "you're a horrible person stop that!!" bc even if I dislike something they have the right to ship it, but I can't even block it properly it's awful. Some of my open ao3 search tabs have 20+ blocked tags. Usually I only block alpha/omega, alpha/beta/omega, and non traditional omegaverse dynamics. This is the only fandom I have to do this in ffs. I also really hate any ship that involves the joker such as batjokes but that's a given

#not tagging this just to keep myself sane #I will say I've read pseudo incest before but like. it was a choice and it was presented as morally ambiguous #it wasn't forced on me bc it's unfilterable and omnipresent #again: genuinely ship what you want. but I disagree with your ship and I don't want to see it #gail speaks #ask #supergirlboy

#ive been thinking of the au from @planethoneybee's tags in that writing prompts post #on the topic of giyuu wanting sabito to have political power in case something happens or someone tries to pull shit- #him & shinobu debating the pros and cons of giving him title of concubine before giyuu brings up the social aspect #so shino calls sab in to get his thoughts on the matter directly and it made me laugh #another bit w sanemi- theyre at a meeting talking abt finances and theyre talking of cutting sanemi's beetle funding- #G: i can pay for it /Sane: what? /G: keep as much funding to the project as possible- i'll finance the rest of it out of my #own allowance. that works doesnt it? /Shino: i suppose. ..but you'd do that for beetles? /G: i see importance in it. /Shino: very well- #sanemi doesnt thank him or even mention it but he definitly looks at giyuu differently after that- he used his own shit to keep #the project going full blast? damn. he did that for sanemi's beetles. man. #somethn somethn giyuu bringing up the idea for shinobu to have a personal guard(/helper) as well #shinobu 'i know what you are' @ giyuu before he hurriedly explains he doesnt mean get a side hoe hes genuinely just #offering to find her a trusted guard/helper whos sole purpose is to do errands n shit specifically for her 'oh! that sounds nice actually' #'sab has someone in mind for you- says shes one of the best in the forces and a pleasant personality' 'ill see that for myself first' #'okay [thumbs up]' #im imaginging a mix between european kingdoms & east asian/chinese/japanese empires except i dont know shit about either #only thing i vaguely know is theres advisors & like sub-royalty & in traditional japanese more (/complex) layers of clothing = rich/royal #the 'sub royalty' has a name im p sure. i forgor. fuckiinnn. #nope its just not there. oh well. giyuu w the fingerless sleeve-gloves my FUCKING beloved #also vague thought of sabito & mitsuri wearing helmets that utilize their pink hair as fuckin. yk the european knights #w the stupid ponytail thing/romans w the gold helm/red mohawk thing. somethn like that #they wouldnt wear like full Heavy Armor like knights do their fighting styles & w the close-quarters they wouldnt need it #but like for Show at Fancy Pantsy Time theyd dress up similarly #loserboy giyuu posting #loverboy sabito posting #sabigiyuu #of all the shit i have for this au THATS the scene that gets front page. dick joke funniee #(in case its not clear text goes Giyuu-Sabito-Shinobu talking)

Thank u for the tag @machinerismsx !!!!! Please enjoy some of my ursabo insanity for the last line challenge ^_^

Silence.  Complete silence.  Stopped by the occasional, freezing wind.  Before her, just above the surface of the water, was a pair of black shoes, whose owner had no reflection. And so, Bo-Katan raised her head ever so slowly, battling the exhaustion and pain that seeped deep into her bones, trying to get a better look at them.  “Bo-Katan, what are you doing here?” Ursa asked, her voice so soft.  “Please, help me.” Bo-Katan sobbed. “I don’t know what to do.”  Ursa crouched before her, reaching out to cup her chin.  “You’re practically dead.” she said, and after a short consideration, added, “I’ll take you home.” 

Here are the tags @cmbdragon98 @acliptika @timetodiverge but no pressure of course!!

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

[todayisafridaynight]

Sorry to keep throwing Miscellaneous Asks your way, but I finally had a moment to get my thoughts in order on one of the points on your Venn diagram I wanted to talk about! I always kind of debate whether or not to send other, semi-unrelated long asks like this when we've already got a chain going, but oh well. I'll try and address anything brought up in response here in the main one and hopefully it doesn't get confusing lol.

So I was thinking about the extent of Jo and Arakawa's relationship. It is completely true there's not much you can say that's concrete, especially since most of what we see is from Jo's perspective. Although his perspective is crucial to forming an understanding of their relationship, it's not sufficient. This is particularly the case because, coming back to giri-ninjo for a moment, Jo is largely bound by giri; it's clear his loyalty runs deep, but it's not a choice for him.

Arakawa, on the other hand, can choose who he places his trust in, especially early on. And I think it's incredibly important that, despite having men who've already been with him from day 1, men who've already been helping him with his son, Arakawa chooses to "place every confidence" in Jo (per an old Famitsu profile, one of the first official ones) and chooses to make Jo his captain.

Similarly, he kind of chooses Jo "over" Ichi in sending Ichi to prison "instead of" Jo. Perhaps the family really would collapse without Jo's talents, but… does it have to collapse entirely? Didn't Arakawa make it pretty far on his own? I guess it's neither here nor there, but I've always wondered if things would've really played out as feared if Jo went to prison instead. Not to understate Jo's role in the family, of course.

Anyway, I think that trust shows not only in overt gestures such as entrusting Masato and the family's finances to Jo, but also in more subtle behind-the-scenes ways, such as what we were talking about before with regard to New Year's 2001. There's also the fact that leaking information to Aoki was Jo's idea; for that to be the case, Arakawa would have to discuss Aoki's threats at length with Jo. (Unrelated, but come to think of it, "complying with him [to] make him see value in keeping us around" is very often the strategy of victims of abuse and neglect…)

And this one's an underrated detail many people miss, but after Arakawa shot Ichi, while he was able to come up to Ichi to tell him he's counting on him and sneak in the fake bill, if the goal was to not arouse suspicion, I don't think he would exactly have been able to excuse himself from the dinner to drive Ichi to Yokohama. Time was of the essence in terms of Ichi's survival, so that leaves Jo, who was conveniently already at the scene and who was certainly in on the "secret rule" that constitutes part of the Arakawa Family's agreement with the homeless camp. Overall, there is a pattern of Arakawa approaching Jo before anyone else, isn't there?

Sort of branching off of that, I would personally feel comfortable saying that Jo knows Arakawa better than anyone else. He seems to know details about Akane and New Year's 1976 no one else does, details Arakawa would have had to volunteer himself, and that plus his own experiences are what allow him alone to have the most complete picture of that night.

I also get the impression Jo understands Arakawa better as a person than anyone else--certainly better than Aoki, but perhaps even better than Ichi in some cases. There are multiple instances where he defends Arakawa and challenges their perceptions of him--that he's "betrayed" the Tojo Clan, that he's betrayed Aoki, that he's the type to scheme and make power-plays behind Aoki's back. He hasn't. And, despite how little Jo's "allowed" to say, he turns out to be right every time. Also worth noting Arakawa does something similar in asking Ichi to try and understand Jo's frustrations, though he's more or less enabling Jo's abuse in doing so.

Lastly, The Smallest Detail that drives me kind of insane. Them arriving at the office in the back seat of the same car in one of Ichi's flashbacks. I wouldn't think too much of it if it were any other time of day, but the first-thing-in-the-morning quality and the fact Jo isn't driving (thus it's not as an act of service but as an equal) is like… Okay. You're carpooling to work. And if you're not carpooling, you're honest-to-god living together. What the hell.

So a lot of it is this web of inferences--it has to be, at least currently--but I really do think there's a lot to chew on. More than meets the eye, anyway. I've also been stewing in all of this for years, especially since drafting Jo's relationships section, so I might just have inhaled the fumes for too long lol

Thank you for coming to me about the nature of their relationship! Although I did put it down as being more-or-less 'uncertain' on my chart, I do agree that their relationship isn't as cut-and-dry as other relationships might be (it's going back to appreciating the complexities of RGG relationships, especially in the case of the Arakawa's where for every party involved it really IS complicated)

I wanted to exclude making any definitive statements on things that couldn't be verified without making a detour on the original post (I know I already mentioned frequently that Arakawa is able to joke about Jo being 'softer' on Masato, but I do think about their relationship often and the implied depth of Jo's loyalty if- as you said- he was able to climb through the ranks of the Arakawa family much quicker than preexisting members), but there are clear points in the game that due allude to a great trust between the two (and I also note that carpooling detail during Ichi's flashback- or at the very least I know I'd find myself noticing Jo sitting in the back opposed to the front/driving). It's definitely not hard to assert that Jo knows Arakawa well either, it's hard not to come to that conclusion when we have evidence from the game to infer that.

#long post #fave #i should prob come up with an actual tag for these asks so i can easily find them and not sift through my other fave'd posts #ill do it in the morning im right about to go to bed but i just saw this pop up on my notifications #and well. we know me i've been presented an itch i have to scratch LMAO #snap chats #i feel a bit silly now- i know that their relationship isn't exactly.

had a terrible dream last night… I’m putting it under a cut cause it’s actually disturbing

I was watching something on TV (started as a video game then morphed into a show) about these two detectives. I had never seen it before but had read online that something happened in the latest update/episode that was making everyone lose their mind. turns out the big deal was that the main female lead had been kidnapped by a serial killer, and her male partner was on the search for her. the man ended up finding the killer and, ironically, killing him while on the search for the woman.

here’s the actual terrible part. at some point (I don’t remember when), these two characters had morphed into Hunter and Omega. so it was Hunter on the search for Omega, who remind you had been taken by a serial killer. I legit can’t talk about what was shown because it was extremely disturbing, but let’s just say, Hunter found the trail and the end result of it is exactly what you think it is.

in the dream, I couldn’t bring myself to watch after a certain point. after it was clear what Hunter was about to come across, I had to look away. Ham and my dad were also there for some reason, but apparently had no problem watching it?? anyway, I’m going to have the sounds of Hunter wailing and sobbing stuck in my head all day because of this 🙃🙃🙃

#idk why dream!me had to stay in the room #I think I felt obligated because of Ham and dad #even though that would NOT happen irl #I woke up very upset today in case it wasn’t obvious 🙃 #keeping myself sane by telling myself how RIDICULOUS that whole scenario was #I’m wringing my brain out EXTRA hard today!! #😖😖😖 #my dark and broody bandana man #my tiny sunshine daughter #I’m gonna start tagging all my dream posts with #my weird dreams #just as an fyi

#i'm going to keep tag-rambling because this feels like progress #other post cut me off so new post okay people can see this #if you're reading this welcome to my mental breakdown #anyway so i froze in the middle of telling this awful joke #he told us to google a quick joke and just tell it and my service was down #so i tried to remember a joke i read on a forum nearly twenty fucking years ago #i do think part of the problem was that i wasn't confident in the joke at all #everyone else's jokes were proper ones mine was just a Knock Knock joke sort of a thing #idk but i froze and it was really awful #of course people were nice about it!! and i fucking hated it so much #i just want to be able to be good for people but i'm bad for myself so i just don't know #if that wasn't bad enough then i was like. ok. i need to talk to the teacher because wtf. idk if this is sane #but the elevators were filling up and dudebro was like ''lol you waiting for everyone to go'' #and i did my autopilot thing of like ''yes! that's what i'm doing'' even tho it was not #so i got into the elevator when it came back up with these two dudes even tho I WANTED TO TALK TO THE TEACHER #sometimes i feel like my body is just a puppet and i'm the puppeteer but i'm passed out #i'll wake back up seconds after the puppet's done something idiotic and there's no going back so i'm just in hell #anyway to make matters worse part of why I got in was because i didn't want to be the weirdo staying after to talk to the teacher #i was like ''wait is this not allowed'' #why the fuck would it not be allowed #''well it'll make the teacher feel awkward'' #it is. literally. his job. :) #he's getting paid it's fucking okay but do i listen to the reasonable voices in my head? no #i listen to the voice that says ''well if you breathe it'll make people uncomfortable so you should stop'' #but then if i died that would make people uncomfortable too :) the grand paradox #but anyway my POINT is actually TWO OTHER PEOPLE WERE STAYING and I HAD NO IDEA #UNTIL THE ELEVATOR DOORS WERE ALREADY CLOSING #OKAY COOL and then as I was driving away i spotted them walking to a bar with the teacher #so if i had overcome my anxiety and stayed i could have been a normal person for a while with a few cool chill people #but instead :) i'm me

I got my motivation to draw back!! So I drew something cute!! ...Err, I mean Blaze hallucinating dead people and demon alter-egos whom he kind of turned into a patron of sorts despite his patron being said dead circus stuck in his head?

Complicated shit, my guy. He’s cute so therefore it’s cute logic in full force rn.

Nice! You clicked on the cut! Here’s the alternate version without it being haunted.

Still effectively is the same thing, just no face lol.

I think any Genasi with element-based hair (eg. Blaze’s fire hair, Tempest’s fog hair) would be affected by their environment/mood. Like Blaze here I picture as having just come out of the shower/bath, so his fire hair is down to embers. Tempest, however...

...It’s a barbarian rage thing, I think. His parents are an Air Genasi and Fire Genasi, and his older sister was a Fire Genasi, so when she died and became his ‘patron’ of sorts, he can get Pissed and look like a Fire Genasi to some degree. Or at least that’s the logic.

What’s with me and fucked up characters? Blaze is haunted by ghosts, Tempest’s got PTSD, Axel’s traumatized with so many mental health conditions... lmao? I guess? I like depth and this is how I made depth with three of my favourites.

[hotvintagepoll]

Welcome to the HOT AND VINTAGE MOVIE STARS tournament! We are now finished with the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament; The Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament is ongoing. Submissions for hot vintage women are now closed, but we are accepting propaganda for those already in the bracket.

Round 1 of the Hot & Vintage Women Tournament began with 540 hot women in prelims. Round 1 starts Saturday, March 2nd, with posts going up over several days. All polls—including ongoing polls, previous rounds, old tournaments, the various shadow brackets, and fun mini polls—can be found in the #hotvintagepoll tag. Every poll in the Hot & Vintage Women Tournament will be tagged with the hot woman in it if you need to search for a hot woman in particular.

FAQs:

“Where is [my favorite hot woman]?” It depends. Are all the Round 1 polls up yet? Have you checked all the polls in the tag? Have you done a tag search for her? If you still haven’t found her, either nobody submitted her or she did not fit the criteria of being a movie woman from 1910-1970.

“Can I still submit hot women?” No, the submission window has closed. Please do not send in women you wish had made it into the bracket. I can’t do anything with those asks and they just make me sad.

“I have additional propaganda for the hot women!” Great! Send me an ask or reblog the poll and add your propaganda to it. If you see a separate post that relates to your hot woman, like a fancam or a gifset, you can tag me in it. I don’t boost all the propaganda I see or receive, but I try to boost the best of the best.

If you’re submitting propaganda for your hot lady, I don’t accept propaganda that’s from beyond the end of this tournament’s era (ie don’t send me pics of them from before 1910 or after 1970). I also don’t accept propaganda of TV appearances unless it’s clearly a cameo where they’re playing themselves. If you have a TON of photos to submit, please send a few asks instead of one long one. I watch every video I receive so I can add trigger warnings, so please don't send long videos—I don't have time to review them.

I don’t post or boost negative propaganda about any hot woman. If you really hate that a certain hot woman is winning, send me positive propaganda for their hot opponent. If you think a hot woman shouldn’t even be included in the tournaments because of scummy things she did in her lifetime, please read my take on it here.

If I see repetitive, trolling, and/or bigoted remarks in the comments, I may block you from this bracket. If you want to point out a hot woman’s flaws or misdemeanors, that’s fine, but if I see consistent bad-faith trolling, you will be blocked.

The views expressed in the propaganda are not my own. I don’t submit my own propaganda, and I don’t change what’s submitted beyond fixing spelling mistakes. If you hate a poll bio or a pic, let me know and send me something I can use instead. Thoughtless bitching will get blocked.

"Where are the hot men?" Most of them are in the shadow realm! Toshiro Mifune was crowned the winner of the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament, and the rest were banished where the sun never shines. You can find all the round 1 matchups here (thank you @markwatnae!), or you can search the archive by tag to find out more about what happened to all the different hot men.

"Why didn't my propaganda make it into the poll post?" Either I couldn't open the link, or there was so much submitted I could only pick a few. Because this tournament is so much bigger than the Hot & Vintage Men one, I'm limiting propaganda to 5 pics per hot lady for Round 1. I know, a bummer! I have to do it this way to keep myself sane. If you have a photo you really want the world to see, follow the propaganda guidelines above.

“My FAQ isn’t on here :(” send me an ask! I love hearing from you guys—just please check these basics first.

Thank you for being here! Enjoy the tournament.
