#or being upstaged

[robonoba-zorbo]

First impression Law vs. actual Law is so crazy cause when we first meet him, he's this asshole(affectionate) who makes whimsical little torso tornados and travels with a bunch of dudes in jumpsuits, and then you meet him for real and he's some... edgy twink with a friend group that consists of a furry and bunch of dorks, and an inability to play nice with people who're at the same skill level as him.

I love both versions so dearly tho-

#the way I genuinely fail to express what I mean when I talk abt him #like #i KNOW what I'm trying to say but I can't say it right #this post doesn't even contain what I was actually trying to say #just as close as I could get it #cause he can't handle his plans getting changed around #or being upstaged #but he's not always grumpy- #anytime that man isn't scowling at you (provided you're not crew) he's looking down on you #both metaphorically and literally #okay tag time #one piece #heart pirates #trafalgar d water law #trafalgar d law #trafalgar law

Hello again! I see ask are opened! And from the previously answere asks, ive come to know that mychael loves lil funky doo daads! (Im so happy to know this fjwvdjdh i make quite a bit of these and worry that theyre actually useless in the long run ;u;). How would he react if the mc gave him a bunch of ducks? Ive made quite a few and i'd love to throw em at him/affectionate

Oh my god he would adore these!!! Little knickknacks and souvenirs are the best, and he'd definitely fawn over these. I can imagine him happily displaying these little lads and lasses on the fireplace calling them something silly like the 'Ducklings Siblings'. Probably give them names and backstories too (they change spots and stories every time you visit).

And the fact you handmade them makes it so much better! A gesture like that he'd want to return tenfold. He'd be cooking up something similar for you the next time you see him (since his love language is gifting):

#mushroom oasis vn #mychael ask #i wish SO BAD i could draw this myself but id hate to keep this in my inbox </3 #this goes for all the questions asking how he'd react being gifted a knitted item or anything really #he'd be in love with it instantly #and try to upstage you even

Sam being the Nova in Ultimate Spider-Man is so funny to me because all the other heroes are in Peter Parker's generation. Put back in high school. And there was a Nova from that generation who could have filled that spot. But no one knows who Rich Rider is lmaooooo

#im sure someone's already pointed this out #but it's still SO FUNNY #memorable enough to get a legacy character. not memorable enough to avoid being upstaged by his own successor #sam alexander #not tagging as rich rider bc i don't want rich rider fans to get upset #he's alright i swear just. the SHADE

I just want a dreamling fic of Hob getting Dream to do terribly human and mundane things. Sometimes Hob's just inviting Dream to do something he was already going to do. Sometimes Hob realizes Dream hasn't done something boring human thing and wants Dream to do it so bad. Sometimes Hob doesn't know whether Dream has done a boring human thing before but he just wants to see Dream doing it. It'd be so cute if whenever Hob doesn't have access to something, upon becoming better and better at navigating the dreaming, he just dreams up the situation there.

—OKAY WAIT THIS LITERALLY JUST FLEW INTO MY HEAD!!! Okay, you know how wives sometimes go with their husband's to golf courses and they literally just sit in the cart. CAN YOU IMAGINE— Dream's with Hob at Hob's place of work and Hob's coworkers/work friends invite Hob to play golf with them and Hob agrees for whatever reason and then Hob's work friends invite Dream along too and Hob didn't even think about it but now he NEEDS Dream to go and Dream reluctantly agrees. In true wifey fashion Dream shows up in full golf attire like he's going to play but just sits in the cart the entire time. I think it could be hilarious.

#I just want scenes of Dream being ///Hob's/// boyfriend/husband/lover #sometimes without him actually being Hob's yet #(for anyone wondering if the wifes do anything else while sitting in the cart. they watch their husbands play and slide into the driver's #seat when their husbands tell them to bring the cart over 👀) #I used to work on a golf course is why I know this. they honest to god looked like they were going to play but never leave the car. I would #need to figure out if they were playing bc I needed to know if they were going to hit or if I could continue working or not #In true Dream fashion he would know everything going on and how to do it but he wouldn't want to upstage Hob and I'm sure he wouldn't wanna #act as if he were bad at it either #I gotta write this fic man jeez. it twirls in my brain constantly. #dreamling #we've gone from conceivably cute and soft fic to dipping our toe into the crack fic waters but no fear all fics I write are crack #at least a little bit

What if Qin Su's ghost brought down the temple instead. I don't even just mean she gets to off JGY. I mean she gently sweeps the two children and the dog outside and just DEMOLISHES everyone else because OH? YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY TO BE INDIFFERENT TO SOMEONE'S ABRUPT DEMISE BC IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY? WELL SHE'S ABOUT TO BE FUCKING HILARIOUS.

#perhaps JC can be spared as well as an acknowledgment of him doing what SHOULD be done with earth-shattering information #which is tactfully and promptly reveal it in a way beneficial to the wronged parties #rather than never saying anything #or trying to gaslight people about it #or sitting on the info for years and dropping it in a surprise letter with no regard for collateral damage #but she is for sure bringing down that house bc she was SITTING THERE BEING DEAD FOR THE ENTIRE WANGXIAN STAIRS NONSENSE #can you IMAGINE! can you IMAGINE your death being immediately upstaged by some randos' grand gestures!

Lion Guard Finale Praise + Rant

There is a lot I hate about The Lion Guard's final episode but the one thing that will always hold a special place in my heart is the return montage:

You can't tell in screenshots, but in the background, the LG chorus sings a reprise of the Departure Theme from the premiere episode, with this montage being a book-end to the goodbyes that the Guard said to their friends and families in that episode.

It's really sweet and powerful because it's a beautiful example of "Show, don't tell" (a rule which this show, particularly in Season 3, and the LK sequels in general are not the best at following). We see what the Lion Guard had left behind when they went on their journey to the Tree of Life, how much they had missed their home and how glad they are to be back and how that feeling was reciporicated by their friends and families.

Keep in mind that earlier that morning they were under the belief that Zira invaded the Pride Lands and had possibly killed the royal family and subjugated the Pride Lands' non-lion subjects if not giving them a same gruesome fate (since Kion knows that Zira is a lion supremacist, god-forbid what would happen if she ever got near Mtoto, Thurston, or Ajabu), and on the Pride Landers' end, the Lion Guard had been gone for such a long time with no one having any way of knowing they'd return or if they died. So this reunion was likely also a huge relief for everyone in the Pride Lands, especially Simba, Basi, and Timon and Pumbaa (who no doubt would've been scared shitless at the idea that their kid could be missing forever or dead and have no way to confirm or deny that possibility). It's just all around amazing to see. When watching the episode for the first time when it came out I thought something was wrong with my computer because despite there being 14 minutes left, I wholeheartedly thought the series was going to end there....

...which is why I'm very mad that it didn't and forever disappointed at the route they went with for the actual ending.

In the span of less than a full day since the Lion Guard returned from the Tree of Life, all of them instantly want to head back there on a whim after losing the Lion Guard contest, which would wind up in them completely uprooting their lives and leaving their home and families again for the sake of this one kingdom that we've only seen for seven to eight out of 74 episodes plus a TV movie! The reunion showed us that the Guard was strongly attached to their home and families, but now the ending forces us to ignore that to logistify the Guard willingly going to the Tree of Life without any on-screen goodbyes or send-offs. No scene of doubt, no goodbye songs, no parting ways between characters, nothing, it just jump cuts from "Hey, let's go back to the Tree of Life even though we've only been back here for a day" straight to them at the Tree of Life for Kion and Rani's wedding. Isn't the episode's title supposed to be "Return to the Pride Lands?" Yet the "return" plot stops mattering after the first 11 minutes.

The whole Guard leaving with Kion doesn't even make sense: Bunga has Timon and Pumbaa at Hakuna Matata Falls, Beshte has to co-lead the hippo pod with his father, Ono has his flock and possibly even Ona (you could argue that he would want to return to the Tree of Life because they healed him, but that's not the reason they went with - Also the poor dude lost his Mark of the Guard twice, the first being after he lost his eyesight to protect the Pride Lands from Scar, like, what the fuck?), Fuli had been the most admant about returning to the Pride Lands, and Anga showed no interest in staying at the Tree of Life and seemed perfectly ok in the Pride Lands.

Even back in the days where people were theorizing what would happen to the Lion Guard that caused them to be absent in TLK 2, I never saw reason for the whole Guard to leave if Kion ever left, and even then, I never expected any departure to be permanent because it would go against their whole life-style. It feels like they only had them leave like this for the sake of some "twist" that didn't need to be there. And even if they were going to go with this route, they could've had the Guard separate, with some staying and some going to at least make sense.

Much like Makini, Season 3 ignores crucial story elements of the main characters from the first two seasons to both justify their "plot-twist" by the end and to wrap up any “plot-holes” with the Lion King 2 and forces the audience to suspend an inappropriate amount of their disbelief. So while I like the reunion in the final episode and whilst my love for the show remains un-matched, knowing how it all ends and that (according to some writers) it was planned from the start to end like this makes me feel cheated in a way. One of the most disappointing endings I've seen from a show which I've been willing to follow from start to finish and this is coming from someone who's watched both Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Bunk'd.

It’s not a matter of costume. It’s a matter of height. Robin is not allowed to be anywhere near the same height as Batman. Tim just got unlucky that his growth spurt stopped at short. No one would accept it if Batman and Robin stood next to each other and were the same height. Gotham would fall to chaos.

You say this but then what about when everyone in Gotham finally wises up and realises that Cass is the ultimate batman candidate my girl is tiny what size would her Robin have to be

#Ask #Anon #I realised what tim being Robin reminds me of today #It's like if an expert artist was still in beginners art class #If a semi professional swimmer went to the baby swim lessons #Like bro you don't need to be here #What are you trying to do upstage the babies

Presenting one of my favorite videos of all time: Celine Dion having a sing off with a 20 year old Beyoncé while Michelle and Kelly are also there

#all jokes aside this is a flawless performance like every single one of them devoured #all their voices just come together in the most beautiful way #this video is very like . Celine passing the torch to the greatest vocalist of the new generation #I love the way she let bey shine here #like it was her special and she wasn’t scared of being upstaged or anything she was just like girl show them what you can do<3 #so iconic

Daemyra stans think they’re going to do something going on there “I hate want to protect Nettles” rants. I’m a proud Edwina, Sansa and Nettles stan. They’re underestimating how much I don’t give a f*ck lol.

I think some of them think that we are idiots. Like no we know what you are doing cause you’ve done the same thing over and over again when it comes to certain characters you view as a threat especially a romantic rival to your faves🙃

(And this is coming from a person who is neutral on Dany and likes Kate. For real I don’t understand how anyone can hate Edwina if you are a Kate stan, because they are sisters and the situation was just extremely messy).

Rant aside, I am right there with you on not caring about what these people say. Rules for thee and not for me won’t work here folks 🤷🏽‍♀️

Like you can overlook problematic elements(cough cough incest cough abuse) in your ship then so can we(and Dettles is actually supposed to be romantic and isn't based on abuse or a come up unlike a certain other ship) ☺️

#hotd ask #bnasks #bnask #protect nettles from what 🙃 #being loved which is apparently a crime when it comes to her🤷🏽‍♀️ #can't have her upstaging a certain someone 😏 #that just upsets the natural order of things😏

ok at my school graduating seniors all have to submit a piece to the show for graduating seniors and i think for mine i want to make like. several little beds with little Dreamers in them and the idea is that a viewer is encouraged to take a Dreamer from their bed and show them around the show, show them the other pieces and then tuck them back in........but i wonder if people would actually want to do that and how to necessarily make that Look Good enough that it's still a Good Art Piece for people who don't interact with it (or hypothetically Can't in a scenario where every single Dreamer was being shown around). Does anyone. have opinions about this would you like to show a little puppet or stuffed animal around an art gallery

#i wanted to make something that's kind of about being in the show with the other pieces and not being about like. competitive upstaging #maybe i could ask to be right near the entrance of the gallery so it would be more like someone picking up a dreamer at the start and putti #them back on their way out #that would be more convient for the viewer and also i'd be asking to be placed in a usually shit spot #that people are upset to get stuck with in that gallery. so win=win
