i've seen ppl talking about Meryl & how little we know about her family, but the geo-plant arc of trigun chapters 10-12 gives us some really useful pieces of info, i think

first, we see her thinking of herself as Cold Blooded, just like the dude that wanted Badwick to kill his own parents

[ID: Meryl stands with her gun drawn and a troubled expression on her face as she thinks to herself, "Exactly as you described him... the cold-blooded type..." In the next panel, she closes her eyes and wonders, "Am I really... any different?" End ID]

at the start of this arc, Milly wrote one of her massive letters to her family, while Meryl mentioned not knowing what she would write to hers. then we see Milly get PISSED at Badwick after she learns he threatened his parents at gunpoint, which leads to this page:

[ID: Meryl, held back by Milly, tells her, "Milly... I envy you... My father would have wanted me to get justifiably angry at a person who points a gun at his parents. That is an important thing." She flashes back to the moment in the chapter before where Milly is attempting to punch the son, Badwick. Milly calls in concern, "Ma'am?" Meryl continues, "But I... I just stood there and took it all in without even budging. I am such a cold person. I chose this path of blood and tears without thinking about the rest of my life. All I can see is what is right in front of me." The page shows the face of the father, dressed in basic battle gear, who is watching silently. Now in tears, Meryl laments, "Why could I not see... that when I closed myself off to him, something was wrong? I..." In the last panel, Milly stares down at Meryl in surprise as Meryl slaps her own cheeks and exclaims, "No... Nevermind!" End ID]

this entire situation is obviously striking something in Meryl's heart. some kind of insecurity she has about her distant relationship with her own parents. she shakes herself out of it, determined to not fall into a funk, and then jumps into defense of the land.

after the battle's over & the father's fallen to his ass, we see these pages:

[ID: In the first page, the father, off screen, tells Meryl and Milly, "There are no words to express how thankful I am for your help." Meryl replies with a smile, "Ah. There's no need." The father goes on to tell her, "Ms. Meryl... I know it was rude of me, but I overheard your conversation earlier. Having raised that rebellious son, I don't know if I have the right thing to say, but... All people are different, but the bonds between parents and children are inseparable. It is a great burden, but also the most precious thing in the world..." In the second page, the father concludes, "... Choose your own path, and walk it with confidence. All of life... is connected. You must live your own life, and your parents will love through you." As he speaks, we see Meryl listening to him with a surprised expression. End ID]

this entire arc feels like a metaphor for Meryl's own situation. after these pages, we see Badwick turning in the deed, then finding out that his parents were entrusting the property to him after all. he's the problem son, someone who separated himself from his parents due to his disagreements with them (likely stemming from his dead younger brother). yet at the end of the day, his parents still love him and entrusted their life's work to him.

Meryl sees all this go down, hears these words, and it touches something in her heart. so we see her go from talking about writing to her family like this in chapter 10:

[ID: A single panel of Meryl with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face. She tells Milly, "That would be the normal thing to do... especially when I've been away from home for so long. But I don't know what to write beyond 'it's dry'..." End ID]

to this bit at the end of chapter 12:

[ID: Meryl approaches a mailbox with luggage in hand. She slips a letter inside, then sighs with a smile. Milly yells, "Maa'aam! What are you doing?! We're already late!" To which Meryl replies, "Ok! Ok! Ok! I'm coming!" End ID]

the experience was enough for her to accept that she might not be the closest with her parents (or just father? considering she only ever mentions a father in this all), but it's still worth reaching out even if she doesn't have much to say.

this arc is the most we see about Meryl's backstory in the manga, but I think we can draw a few things from it. we have a definite mention of a father, but no others. no mention of siblings or any other family members. she's distant from her father, too busy following her heart & goals, but she doesn't have a bad relationship with him. just Distant. she feels disconnected from him, even Cold, for her focus on her work & the practicalities in front of her. but even with that disconnect, she still cares enough about him to feel guilty when she realizes she's been doing this.

and then considering later, when we see the flashback of a man giving her the gun... i'd assumed that was possibly a senior at her work (probably tristamp giving me that perception, from Roberto), but keeping all the rest of this in mind... it really could have been her father.

i went looking to try to find that part. did not find that one exactly, but i DID find this one from trimax chapter 34:

[ID: A nearly bald man with a kind face and what appear to be shooting ear muffs around his neck tells Meryl, "Consider guns delicate. Women, most of all, should make use of them. One shot will level the playing field between you and a big, strong man." End ID]

if this is indeed her father, it would explain why she knows how to shoot like she does. perhaps her father taught her as she was growing up out of the wish to help her protect herself. maybe they weren't incredibly close, but he still clearly cared about her & wanted what was best for her and her safety. the kind of father that's content to let her do whatever her heart wishes, since her happiness is his happiness.

and then chapter 12 ends with this page:

[ID: A black framed page with a single panel at the center. The panel shows Meryl from behind, running with her luggage in hand. The text boxes to the sides state, "All of life is connected by a river... And the beginning of the river... is now." End ID]

she continues on her own path, not looking back, but she is still connected to the ones in her heart... including her father.

Well. If I didn't have to struggle until 3 pm to get through #the wall of anxious paralysis we wouldn't have that problem but here we are #anyway. off to bed. for what it's worth #got to figure out how to electronically validate my ID :''') and/or call the job center - fun! #my own stuff

When the airstream gets invaded like this, maybe that'll also be when a new one becomes necessary <3

@naffeclipse There is a crumb of canon, somewhere, buried under all those theories

For context: Partly inspired by this ask - what if F.E.I. knows Y/N is hanging with a demon, and comes to "collect" the "successfully controlled" cryptid? What if what happened to Vanessa was not an accident, but a "controlled" experiment, to utilize cryptids in new and exciting ways? And what if the boys' vessel (looks like them, is meant for them) was a carefully laid out trap?

#post let luce #fnaf sb #fnaf sb au #fnaf vanessa #cryptid!sun #cryptid sightings #naffeclipse #my art #I struggled with “random hunter that I'll never draw again” #went with my instinct to draw her with pigtails #then realized it's perfect because the little pigtails symbol when she's talking outside of the panel #is just bunny ears upside down #I stuffed so many crazy theories in this I actually felt the need to elaborate what I was cooking up here gfhdjs nice #ik the broken sunray “crowns” his head and is probably the top one #but consider: I drew that one as broken before and now insisted on a crumb of familiarity hfdjks #but yeah anyways.

I really want to know, how did Mac and the Prethinker meet? Is there a story there?

They actually first talk on the blogpost for the pre 1.3 update! (also where they're first both officially introduced), but if you're talking face-to-face, I always use the social media comic as a point of reference (because i think its funny).

My interpretation of the lead up to the actual meeting goes something like this

#clemask #clemspaint #sure ill tag the characters who cares anymore #winn dos #mac opsys #professor pete #prethinker #“but clem... the social media comics are not canon” you can pry them from my cold dead hands. you cant take this away from me #do not get between a clem and his mac and winn crumbs #imagine one day youre trying to send important information to the resistance and then some little brain freak interrupts you and insults yo #in the same broadcast. just saying i wouldnt let that slide #some little hcs sprinkled into this hangs my head low and by that i mean like 1 or 2 #anyways needlessly to say they returned back with nothing in hand #speaking of social media comics ttcc needs to upload the rest of the mac comics on tumblr so i can reblog them 15 bazillion times #i think like 3 of them are on here...tch whatevr... looks away...tear forms from my eye

idk man you guys infected me with the cowboyF!Leo thing but bc I have no chill whatsoever when it comes to such things I started doodling around and horsegirlP!Leo has entered the chat too and I have no fucking idea were any of this is even going if anywhere but apparently I am cooking? I see if I can sort out this mess a lil and draw a little more. the fuck is my life right now smgh.

#pls don't become an AU I have so many stories going currently and a job and RL stuff #I am not like tangledinink over here doing the most epic multitasking magicks send help #i haven't even practices drawing F!leo or any of the other bros aside from P!leo a little and a crumb of P!Donnie #but nah my hand just goes for it fuck it #cowboyF!Leo #horsegirlP!Leo #mushanga speaks

I hate to nitpick the Atsushi hallucinating scene in the new episode cause it was SO well done otherwise, but I'm still really sad that they cut out Francis being there. Like... it's not entirely necessary, I guess, but it just adds so much to his character and to the scene itself?

The Francis in Atsushi's mind is this looming, intimidating presence, because Atsushi did of course fight against him, he was his enemy at one point, but I think it undeniably says a lot that he's even included here at all.

I'm pretty sure I saw this discussed back when this chapter first came out, but while everything Atsushi's hallucinations say to him are framed as negative, putting him down, they can also be read as letting him know that the burden of responsibility for making such a huge decision isn't on him (hence why he decides to let Fukuzawa decide instead, because he can't make THE choice, but he can still choose to act to let someone else decide, and not simply do nothing), and Francis is no exception in this regard. Since he's naturally haughty and arrogant in his personality, this fake version of him doesn't at all feel out of character, coldly saying that "nobody expects anything of you", but again, I think this line especially can also be read as "you are not expected to do anything". In that way, it feels more reassuring, and maybe even dare I say kind -- the fact that Atsushi even considers him important enough of a figure in his life to think of what he would say to him in this moment means that he counts Francis among his allies now. Yes, they didn't get along at first when Francis lied and told him that he only wanted to revive Margaret just so she could kill Hawthorne (because god forbid he actually admit out loud that he cares about people, smh), and obviously because of the whole almost burning Yokohama down and trying to kill him and Akutagawa thing lol, but I'm pretty sure Atsushi changed his mind about him after he saw the state Margaret was in, and recognized how much Francis cares about her and wanted her to be alright. He probably still remembers him talking about his desire to bring back his daughter and save her and his wife, too. The guy still probably isn't someone Atsushi would want to hang out with and be buddy-buddy with during his free time lmao, but the airheaded vain old sport still has a good heart, deep down, and I think Atsushi has seen this by now, because he's a kind person, and so I think it speaks volumes that he unconsciously looks to him for advice here. Francis is just a really good and underrated character, and this is such a small but meaningful moment that shows his development so well, the only moment with him we've gotten or any of the Guild really in such a long time, so it makes me sad to see this cut 💔

I also just feel like not including him kind of weakens the impact of Akutagawa's appearance here?? Like, there's a progression of the order of people Atsushi hears/sees in this scenes: first, people from the ADA sans Dazai, who are all portrayed as on the same level, because he cares about them all equally, aside from I guess Kyouka (again, sans Dazai, the most important person to him). Then, there is Francis, and not to say that Francis is more important to Atsushi than the ADA, obviously not, but he's one of the last to appear because he used to be his enemy, and so he commands much more of a presence, has more of an impact -- but at the same time, like I said, it's complicated: he's not really his enemy anymore, but something between a rival and a friend, and so for that reason his words carry more weight. He is someone Atsushi, logically, shouldn't trust, after what he did to him in the past, and yet he does, because things have changed since the Guild arc, and he knows he can count on him to be there for him and the ADA now.

And then, after him, there is Akutagawa. Who is basically exactly the same as everything I just described for Francis, but times one hundred. Of course Akutagawa would be last. Of course, if there's someone Atsushi would simultaneously and paradoxically be both intimidated by and yet comforted to hear their advice because of their tumultuous history together, far more than Francis, it would be Akutagawa. The progression of ADA members > Francis > Akutagawa in that order gives Akutagawa's appearance much more weight imo than just going straight to him from the ADA members, especially with the specific framing of him standing in line behind Francis to judge/advise Atsushi.... it's just much more powerful, and I wish they'd kept it like this, for both Francis and Aku's characters.

#bungou stray dogs #meta #i know i am one of the 10 Francis fans to exist but dammit i'm defending my dumb sad American silly man!!! #he deserved this moment in the anime it's so important!!!!!! #'you just want Francis to be the weird new dad figure to everyone' and what if i DO OKAY #HE IS A FATHER WHO MISSES BEING A FATHER just let me have him being Atsushi's silly little weird uncle/father guy in his hallucinations oka #in my dreams he's Lucy's adoptive dad and therefore Atsushi's too because he supports her little crush on him #he and Dazai are just chaotic wingmen to AtsuLucy it would be the funniest thing ever okay i need this #(WHAT IF KYOUKA REMINDS HIM OF HIS DAUGHTER TOO 😭😭😭) #but i'm getting off topic ahem- #point is cutting Francis from this scene does it a disservice #it's FAR from the worst thing Bones has ever done don't get me wrong and the scene is still wonderful as it is #but i'm still sad :((((( #Francis crumbs are so rare as is so I was looking forward to seeing him here </3 after how much I loved seeing him in the chapter originall

lately ive been crying like a tall child. etc. if you even care

#um does anyone want to rant about the tams fire siblings because they are driving me genuinely crazy #the way azula - despite being grown and distanced enough from ozai to know it was wrong - still views her 9 year old self as her ‘peak’ #while zuko views the age he was at when they left as his lowest point #and they’re both trying to get towards and away those respective identities #any reminder that azula isn’t the girl she was is met with discomfort from her #just as any situation that makes him feel unsettled/unsafe/belittled instantly puts zuko into his 11 y/o mindset #like so much has happened and diverted from canon yet here they still are #those children are still living and kicking within them despite all they’ve done to have ‘zuko’ and ‘azula’ erased #there’s just sooooo much to them but I really liked this from the latest chapter #bc this chapter was supposed to really show how all the little crumbs I’ve put into their characters so far #come together to create two surprisingly opposing mindsets #and this is a key factor of that and this treatment of their past becomes VERY prevalent #twice as many stars #oh on the topic of tams please if ur gonna listen to any song off the playlist pls let it be come by adrienne lenker #like I’m crying about it actually

[itstimeforstarwars]

Being in a dead fandom with an Instagram artist is kinda funny tbh. Listen darling. You do not have to tag every character on this post even if they are not in it. You and I are the only ones here. I would reblog it even if it had no tags at all. Please stop spamming you are gonna get shot by tumblr staff and i will be here alone.

#chit chat #buttercup why are you here with me #i am the last canary here singing out to a choir of ghosts #and yet you see this little bird continuing on when it should have died long ago #and you share a crumb with it #while trying to lure the rest #can you not tell there is no one to sing to? #do you believe the promise of the canary's song? that there must be others so long as the little bird calls out for them? #will you sing with me?

within me are two wolves.

to inject every ounce of homoerotic and severely mentally ill tension into one character (violet).

to also do that but like a concerning amount.

Some authors really be creating individual characters who are SO made for each other (wether platonically or romantically) in every single conceivable way and then just forget to make them interact smh…

#that’s what we (the fandom) are here for though don’t worry #this is mostly about #tsukasui #but also many others #like we were SO ROBBED of takao and momoi friendship from kurobasu #that crumb we got in the kuroko birthday special is everything to me #dr stone #kuroko no basket #uhhhh i’m sure i had other examples wait #basically the whole cast of #inazuma eleven #i mean there are a metric ton of characters but like #you’re telling me we had time for a kogure & hiroto episode (banger episode btw) but NOT for yuuichi and yuuka to even MEET??? #PLEASE that would have been so perfect! #‘yeah my brother’s crazy’ ‘what a coincidence so is mine!’ #i have a random headcanon that they meet in med school and both become doctors #let me have this one #also most of kageyama’s ‘kids’ should be friends like #imagine demonio and aphrodi forming the weirdest little salty duo #okay I’ll stop now
