#setting everything in motion

[tbgkaru-woh]

Currently playing with an AU where all of the specific clans are elementally alligned -nmj frustrated cause huaisang should be able to move mountains and open the ground his enemies walk on and instead he's growing little plants and makes swings out of vines -jiangs being water based (duh, lotus pier) but wwx was always fascinated with a different liquid (blood) so he plays around with that (later once he loses those powers he focuses on trinkets. jc gains limited electricity powers from zidian which comes from yu ziyuan's family branch -jins being energy, this pure, light, healing one, but we know how the jins are, so where jzx wants to use it to help people, his dad and others mostly hog it for themselves and decide who gets to live and who don't OvO (also wwx mockingly saying the jins have "bad energy") -wens are just fire, they thing its the baptizing kind, but it's the wrathful uncontrolled kind -lans, twin jades, one as a fresh breeze in summer, one as a cold wind on a cold night. also it could be combined with music instruments, the wind powers creating this sort of echo to make it more powerful

rarepair week day 2: running away/death

i’ve drawn so much cute fluffy art of them (definitely more to come in the future) so i wanted to give them something more thematic and sad!! they make me go a little bananas ok…… the tragedy of it all…….

@dr-rarepair-week-blog

#danganronpa rarepair week 2023 #danganronpa #kaede akamatsu #kiibo #kiimatsu #drv3 spoilers #i've already rambled about them a lot so yall already know but i just love how their deaths are sorta like endcaps to the game #ik kaede didn't die first but her death sets it all in motion For Real which then starts breaking the fictional world apart #like shuichi becomes the protagonist & everything is different now and it all starts to fall apart yknow bit by bit #and it ends when kiibo blows himself up and takes the 4th wall with him #even if they barely interacted their roles are so intertwined... i think kaede had a lot of impact on kiibo’s mindset up until the end #just two protagonists who tried so so so hard and went off the deep end..... left it all to their bf smh #telling him 'do what i can't do bc i'm confined to my role end the killing game i believe in you' #also i found out one of their ship names is CHIPTUNE which is the cutest thing EVER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD #disclaimer may be a ship name that only one of my acquaintances uses BUT I LOVE IT

it’s honestly so funny that s1 will is dressed up like marty mcfly, the one who goes back in time to meddle with his predecessors in order to right the timeline, and sometimes makes it worse by accident, but i’m not supposed to think will could wind up going back in time to try and fix things only to make things worse/set certain things in motion… sure lol

#don’t wanna say more bc this is james’s territory but… #save me will brennerisms… brenner willisms save me #like bro if tfs is a ‘this is what would happen if will went back in time’ thing… I’d be jumping for joy #especially if we’re following the trend of ‘subverting tropes’ and traveling back in time always being a ‘fix’ #it would kill if it was what actually set things into motion (at least in one timeline) #like god how fucking good would it be if it was a ‘see? anyone is capable of bad. even by mistake. even if you have good intentions’ #make perfect angel will byers imperfect and teach us all a lesson pls pls pls… it would honestly #make him then so perfectly suited for Actually helping stop everything #if he understood just how everything wound up their in the first place. because HE would have a hand in it #i say things #stranger things #will byers

Orin: The little lordling has been whispering in your ears? He always knew how to tumble and twist your mind matter, leave you knotted in his cords.

I'm fascinated by the implications of this line. Especially with the patch 6 crumbs suggesting that affectionate mind games was a fairly big part of Durge and Gortash's relationship, or at least big enough that Gortash missed it. Like... was Gortash actually manipulating Durge, or was it all part of a game that Orin wasn't part of and didn't understand? I love the idea of Orin thinking Durge was a victim of Gortash's manipulations (and possibly turning on them because of it) when they were actually in on the whole thing from the start and having fun with it. It fits well with Orin's anger at having to follow a plan that involves restraining herself and her assassins when Durge helped create that plan and Bhaal presumably signed off on it. All evidence suggests that Durge and Orin weren't particularly close, and Durge definitely didn't confide in her; it makes sense that she didn't understand Gortash and Durge's relationship and just saw her idiot sibling letting a Banite manipulate them because she couldn't see that they were as much a part of the game as he was! So of course she assumes that he manipulated them into agreeing to a plan that involved not killing; why would Durge ever trust Gortash's plans enough that he could convince them that it was the right course of action? But then of course... they did trust him. And if Orin had trusted that they knew what they were doing instead of assuming they'd fallen under Gortash's thumb and stabbing them in the back the Chosen might actually have won.

#bg3 #orin the red #obsessed with the fact that gortash and durge's relationship set this all in motion and also doomed the chosen's plan #it would never have been possible if they hadn't trusted each other enough to go for it! #but their affection for each other was so clear that orin stabbed durge in the back over it and that ruined EVERYTHING

Sam and Mary have so much in common, the way they both joined the hunting community (whereas dean stayed away), but this, the wish to have a normal life without monsters is where he inherited from her

#Nenn'ya was my first SW OC #And then I thought hey what would Adrienne be if she was a sw character and yeah she would be a jedi #And then I had the thought hey what if adrienne is the padawan of Nenn'ya and everything was set in motion #Now adrienne has become a fully sw oc #Nurnimm art #My oc art #Sw oc #Star wars oc #Jedi oc #I love jedis

#TAGS TLDR YOU CAN NEVER TRULY GO HOME BUT DO YOU WANT TO? #writing a little for d&d and having feelings about this #it was really interesting jasper and i were working on some game mechanics and we kept getting stuck at weird parts and it developed into #this conversation where we realized we experience the world #in such fundamentally different ways. like specifically talking about how paranoia #manifests and stuff but even later in a broader sense like our experiences of time and everything is so different #and they'd be like 'well what if this is something that happened to lock' and id be like 'how could that be something that anyone would #experience' and they were like 'oh because i do' #(example here was my character not realizing he had been magically transported and filling in the blank with vague memories of travel but i #was like. are you not acutely aware of every single moment you are awake and in motion even if it is excruciatingly boring. and jasper #was like. 'oh...no. i could be transported from one place to another and if time passed i wouldnt even think about having traveled or not' #which was WILD to me but then we were like 'okay i guess this cannot be something that happened to lock' because i couldnt even fathom that #but like anyway idk we got weirdly deep dive-y about d&d stuff and personal lives and i had big feelings on it bc genuinely i feel like #there are facets and caverns in myself i have only ever touched in storytelling but particularly in this campaign #and i've joked a lot about Lock and other chars in this game being self inserts #but i mean it in a good way #like the ways we tell stories or experience a world we created together is going to be through an extension of ourselves etc #but it's interesting to me to consider the limitations that brings yknow? we all live by such vastly different sets of rules and #understandings #and im writing out some stuff now and im like. yknow. #lock can never truly go home. i can never truly go home. none of us can ever truly go home #home as shifting impermanence home as transience etc #2017 levi is back apparently but hes always been right

Okay, apparently shutting the fuck up was never an option but the way no one likes to look at the marina situation and go "wow what the fuck is wrong with portia"? Crazy.

Like she immediately didn't like her, not because of anything she'd done, but because she took attention from her daughters no matter how bright she dressed them.

It didn’t matter that the main reason is that, honestly all 3 of her daughters are painfully awkward, and in ones case literally 17. It didn’t matter that Marina was only there at her fathers instance, or that theoretically through having someone thats clearly popular in her home she could have used it as a jump off mark to match her daughters, she was seen as her big hurdle to marrying them off. Marinas immediately othered, to the point that when shes being dressed the maids helping put on her shoes is enough to piss Portia off. She immediately puts Marina in the same ring as her daughters, fight for my attention and maybe maybe it'll be positive. But Marina doesn't do that because she doesn't want to even be there.

And then they find out she's pregnant and shes othered even more. She immediately tries to send her back, and when she's not allowed to do that shes locked away and the other girls aren't even allowed to talk to her. She literally tries to freeze her out, like Marina has any say in being there in the first place, before lying to her about her being abandoned by George.

She makes no attempt to find out if George has family, she doesn't care enough to try even though that would have been a way to get rid of her "problem". She tries to push Marina onto a man old enough to be her grandfather and slaps her across the fucking face when she tries to stand up for herself.

Theres no concern for her safety, for the babys safety, just getting her out of her house as fast as fucking possible, and I'm meant to be surprised that when Colin saves Marina from her elderly suitor she turns her attention to him?

Like the nicest guy, who everyone likes, who's attractive, who isn't multiple decades older than her and most importantly not going to literally assault her? Yeah not a big shocker. Should she have lied to him? No, but she wouldn't have had to or felt the need to if she wasn't in the most hostile fucking house. Even Penelope, who she likes, why does everyone forget that she fucking likes Penelope and viewed her as a friend, becomes aggressive towards her. Shes cornered, shes scared, and all of this could have been avoided if Portia was a slightly better person and said "hey soilder boys not written back, you're gonna have this kid, does he have any family?" instead of setting this entire mess in motion.

#rainy talks #firm believer that Portia is a shit person who set this whole mess in motion #for all the “marinas still a bad person!! look at how she lashed out at pen! at how easily she manipulated colin” girlies #shut up maybe?? pen lashedout first and longer #and i genuinely believe if Penelope had said she had feelings for colin or marina had noticed earlier she wouldn't have pursued him #because she saw pen as a /friend/ but pen doesn't tell her and she doesn't find out until its too late to turn back #and i already said how lying to colin wasn't great but if you saw things in shades of grey you'd understand why shes doing it #its not a black and white situation #“marina shows no remorse though! she doesn't feel guilty ” #man she almost died trying to abort her kids just t still have them she has other stuff going on #how about we talk about her seeing this sad guy and going “dude you've gotta move on so many people love you” #and then hinting at pens feelings for him #clearly trying to still be a friend to pen by nudging him towards her even after everything #apparently I'm in my hating portia Featherington era between this and my rant in the tags of the last one #bridgerton #marina thompson #portia featherington

y'know. the fact that i headcanon that the Afton and Emily children consider each other to be siblings makes Michael and Charlie's whole deal so much sadder.

#fnaf #michael afton #fnaf charlie #like. in my headcanons at least Elizabeth died first. her death set everything else in motion #Charlie was murdered just a month after her #like. can you Imagine that shit from Michael’s perspective? #he took his anger and grief out on his younger brother because he Had no other way of expressing it #and once that bullying went Too Far and his brother died from it. That's when William all but directly confessed to murder #he told Mike that They Were Similar In A Lot Of Ways. WHILE HIS SON WAS ACTIVELY BEING EATEN ALIVE BY GUILT FROM KILLING HIS BROTHER #he basically indirectly told his son that He Killed A Girl That Mike Considered A Sister #like. HMM WILLIAM. I WONDER WHY YOUR SON IS SCARED OF YOU AND HATES YOU AND DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU #COULDN’T BE BECAUSE YOU NOT ONLY KILLED A BUNCH OF KIDS. COULDN’T BE BECAUSE YOU CONFESSED TO MURDER AFTER HE ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HIS- #-BROTHER. AND HE THINKS YOU ONLY SAID THAT AS AN 'I'M GONNA KILL YOU' THREAT. #AND I'M SURE IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT YOU KILLED CHARLIE!! #WHO HE BASICALLY CONSIDERS TO BE HIS SISTER IN EVERY WAY BUT NAME AND BLOOD!! #SURELY THAT ALL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT WILLIAM!! NOTHING AT ALL BESTIE!!

Oldest Dream: arguably could be considered the “end all be all” of TWSA world lines

Han Sooyoung: also arguably the “end all be all” of TWSA world lines

Yoo Joonghyuk: not the “be all” of any of it, he’s just him every time, but without him the other two wouldn’t have been able to be the “be all” that they are, since he is technically the “end all” that came before they could become the “be all”, technically making him the “end all first one”. Do you get me?

#orv #orv thoughts #HSY wouldn’t have known shit what to write if she hadn’t lived 1863 and been tragic besties with YJH first #KDJ also couldn’t have known shit what to dream about if he hadn’t been drawn to 0th YJH’s world line first by his existence there #(as either OD or as new!OD #depending on which loop theory you agree came first) #so even though he isn’t technically ever ‘all’ like the other two #the ‘all’ parts of them who dreamt and wrote up everything everywhere in those world lines couldn’t have spawned without him first existing #although that’s kind of what the entire ‘whodunnit’ square circle thing is about but like #to me YJH never had the ‘being everyone’ feeling that the other two might have had to deal with upon discovery of their time loop roles #because while they are all the ones who could theoretically be blamed for ‘setting the wheel in motion’ #it is only YJH who remained only himself without feeling responsible for potentially ‘creating’ everyone else through their own imagination #or like #this is yet another interpretation and I may be square circling wrong again #I’m sure it will happen again in a new way! #orv spoilers

So that one trend...? But DustedAfterDeath instead ♡

(Gif version below the cut. Flashing lights warning!!!)

GUYS

I couldn't help myself. I just think that some electronic posters would still work in the city and like...

Idk guys, I just love these funky lil guys!!! This is Geno (pre-injury) in the poster, with Dust (center) and Reaper (right)!

Canonically, Dust met Reaper years before the plot of the main story in Ec-4o.verse. In a city. Where there would very likely be posters and signage showing mantras from before the downfall.

I think it'd be interesting if Geno (one of the head programmers of the Ecto-reprogramming) got put up as the poster child for the initiative. A new upstart programmer with the people in mind would sway hearts, right? Well, it did. Geno's lucky he got so many prosthetics, because a *lot* of survivors blame him for the incident thanks to how often he was publicized, even when he didn't want to be.

And idk. I think it's a cute fate moment, where Reaper just saved Dust and they're traversing the ruins of the wastes of the city, and Reaper shows clear distaste for the sign, but Dust stops and stares for just a second longer. Somewhere inside he recognizes that the guy in the ad is someone who was responsible for all this, for all the destruction and bloodshed. He's not sure how to feel about it. He seems larger than life.

Interesting how Reaper's seen it a hundred times and doesn't even look back (despite how he'd gaze at that face, changed but yet the same, every day with love later on) and how Dust takes a moment of the life he nearly just lost to stare at the image of someone he's never seen before (and wouldn't recognize for ages again, because Geno isn't who he was back then anymore). Interesting too how Geno's face was seen by both of them before he could see them in person and prove himself to be larger (than them both, he's tall, but not larger than life) and more of a character than either of them could've ever dreamed. Someone with enough heart to hold both of them.

And for context:

The composition of this is so good and I fell in love just a little ♡

Seeing your post about toxic doomed Yuri burgertron/spudmuffin changed my brainwaves. I read it and was like woahhh they ARE toxic doomed Yuri

there is a top 10 messiest breakups botvid and spud / burgertron are in the #1 spot and i will not be considering otherwise. they could have been THE power v-shaped polycule with ulf but fate aligned their destinies and it was not written in the stars . pouring one out for the combo meal of all time 😔✊

#botbots tag 🏪 #you've got mail �� #tf botbots #botbots #transformers botbots #i choose 3 believe burgertron Does miss spud btw. #it hurts him a lot and he DOES still keep the photo of them and ulf on his wall in his nest #idk how 2 describe it but it's like. just because he knows what he did was the correct thing #doesnt mean he Isn't going to grieve #spud isn't Dead but he mourns all the same #because he *lost* someone dear to him #there's also the aspect of me hcing burgs w/ bpd and spud was one of his FPs so after everything happens i hc he black and white splits -- #-- a lot because he's under a lot of duress (something i do when someone i love does something bad) #botbots dont have therapists so i think the rest of the lost bots'd help him out with that but i am not going to sugarcoat it #he is a DISASTER . (ENDEARINGLY) #and then there's the days he feels like a bad person for even being the reason this happened in the FIRST place #when it wasnt . it was never his entire fault and some of that blame DOES go to spud because he never took the liberty of just Asking #and yes burgertron didnt know but can you really blame someone for setting events in motion when theyre oblivious??? #he didnt know. he couldnt have #and that just adds to the tragedy of it. had burgertron known and spud just taken the appropriate course of action the show'd be different #but of course we all know it didnt go like that #i could talk about them for a while and the fallout of the games bc holy shit there is so much and they make me insane #THANK YOU for giving me an outlet 2 speak and im so glad i could open your eyes to burgerspud yuri #they are So tragic i hope they recover and go to therapy

this 10yo 100K-note post articulates more clearly than I ever could why i love the idea of lestat being 34 and not 21.

guy doesn't get to go on his big hero's journey for another 13 years. whether he's stuck in Auvergne or doing the starving artist thing in Paris (I like to think the former; how relatable), I want to know that story

#always dig when the molly grue post comes around #this time i was like oh hey thank god this says everything i've been wanting to say in a whole ass other fandom #iwtv #rotting in Auvergne for another dozen years can you imagine the angst #doomed to gabrielle's same fate (only without the asshole husband and childbirth and misogyny) #you can possibly-suicidally go after a wolf pack in your thirties as well as you can in your 20s but in his 30s-- #*slaps roof* this baby can fit so much more despair inside #just don't marry him off rolin #i want him bitter and running his family's estate for a decade and occasionally trying to escape as he has in the past and #always being thwarted as in the past #never giving up. not quite yet. it's not in his character. but coming close #THEN the wolves come #and set everything in motion #how much more poignant and unexpected to find your beginning at 34

wang fu who was abandoned by his dad and left to become an attendant from a young age. wang fu who finally gets to meet his dad only to find it's one of the greatest villains of their age. wang fu whose one gift from his dad was taken because it was only gained from murder and crime and his dad never really cared. fang duobing promising wang fu some land and money but wang fu didn't really want that - it wasn't riches he wanted but his dad. wang fu whose whole life is so obviously rich and complex and painfully incomplete and yet is treated as a side note in the whole drama. ohhh i'm going to be crying over this forever

#mysterious lotus casebook #wang fu | happy #HI. BYE. BFWIEOGJDKLGEWIKLD #they literally didn't even have to kill him #that's what really messes me up is that his death is so painfully like. they make SUCH a point of it. #that his death was to cover up someone else's. that the thing leading to his death was obedience to his master. #that his life wasn't his own and even as fang duobing is pained for his death that's even more twisting the knife in the wound #that wang fu's death may not have mattered if it weren't for fang duobing's care #and fang duobing's young and immature care is made all the more prominent and yet there's nobody and nothing to hate for it #li'er makes the most irrational choices because she has the most stake in this death and is hurt the most #li'er is taken out of the picture because this isn't about the servants and it never was #they only existed to show fang duobing's naivity and flaws which he grows out of. forcibly. #wang fu is literally murdered as fang duobing enters the arc of learning and choosing to be his own individual. it's so messed up i'm-- #and the drama is so intimately aware of it but it says nothing. it just shows it to you because it's a quiet little truth. #this life meant something. but to the mains? to us? it means next to nothing. wang fu's death is so quiet despite everything #is fang duobing solving the mystery to avenge wang fu? yes. in part. but also mainly to save li lianhua #thinking of joy of life where fang xian's whole revenge plot is set in motion because of 'a mere dead guard' #but it doesn't change that the guard is dead #lying on my face sobbing brb
