#the defeat in the last one

[inquisitor-apologist]

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

#I’ve said my piece goodnight #don’t play with me Mace Antis I have receipts for every last one of these #pretty much everyone agrees that he was the best duelist there was and he obviously won the fight #Anakin's choice wouldn't make thematic sense otherwise #also vader did not defeat palpatine in combat sorry he just grabbed him while he was distracted #it literally had to be a fair fight and Anakin had to be the one to choose to create the empire that's what the prequels are about #Star Wars databank calls him ‘revered’ shatterpoint tells us he was the youngest (real) member of the council #Boba Fett (tcw) and Prosset Dibs (comics) tried to kill him and he asked for amnesty and forgave them #literally just watch the Ryloth arc he spends most of his screentime saving his men #in tcw season seven he pleads with the battle droids to surrender hoping that no one else has to die #there's the part near the end of tcw where the council realizes that the clones were created by Dooku but Mace and the rest of the council #trust the clones so much they're willing to ignore it #the scene from Mace's POV in the rots novelization talks about how much he loves the republic and how he was blindsided by Anakin's betraya #because he trusted him!! we see in aotc that he has more faith in Anakin's abilities than Obi-wan #and he defeated the most powerful sith of all time single-handedly #BEST JEDI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #sw prequels #star wars prequels #prequel trilogy #sw prequel trilogy #star wars prequel trilogy #sw rots #star wars rots #revenge of the sith #star wars revenge of the sith #galactic republic #pro mace windu #mace windu #pro jedi order #pro jedi

The curse of no one around me irl knowing or caring about Greek mythology or the odyssey is that no one understands why I’m annoyed about people complaining that one of the songs in the epic ocean saga isn’t the ‘get in the water’ because that’s not how the fucking odyssey works!!!!!

#one of the lines!!! is ‘when your homes so close and you’ve reached your coast’ and ‘all of Ithaca will die!’ he’s not even close to home!!! #I know it’s a cool song but it doesn’t come until the almost end!!! #HE LITERALLY JUST DEFEATED POLYPHEMUS IT TAKES HIM 10 YEARS JUST TO GET BACK #‘oh I thought get in the water was gonna be in this’ WHY?!?!? #he still has to meet calypso #fight circe #fight Scylla #fight charybdis #and meet the other gods #literally one Google search will show you that it’s in the second to last saga!!! #madurday night live #epic the musical #epic ocean saga #also!!!! the creator literally showed a list of the songs in the saga and played clips of the songs in the saga!!! #it’s mainly tiktok commenters complaining so idk why I’m surprised

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc

#witch hat tag #orufrey #the first image is qifrey dressed as that guy. i'm glad she has an inexplicable attachment to some dorky pokemon man like i do #someone was like 'wouldn't it make more sense for deanreldea to be the champion' .... well no. not in my world . #it maps onto magic skill. champions aren't like the Rulers of the land they're just the most skilled at this thing #oru as a burnt out champion who's gently encouraging a kid like coco to reach him one day means a lot to me. i like pokemon narratives #agott went shiny hunting for the same thing coco had but cooler - just to impress her. she really is a pokemon rival type girl #pushing myself to the limit to prove my worth to you - to get to the summit first so i'm waiting for you.. #and then realising it wasn't just to be strong - i realised i started wanting to see your smile. i wanted you to have fun. #i think coco would defeat agott at the end of victory road and then defeat oru & i'll probably draw one last thing abt that at least.. #the image is very cinematic..the dialogue and music in my mind..I WANT TO FACE ORU!!!!!!!!!! #the super cool insanely powerful awesome champion is the spouse of my professor and he gave me advice at the beginning...no way.... #btw the elite four would be the sages which is perfect (and maybe easthies as the first guy?) evil Team Brimhats #coustas as their renegade gladion-type figure. the gym leaders would be like sun/moon and s/v combined #travelling around facing the best students from different classes - so jujy and eunie etc. #i've barely thought about 'teams' or anything bc i care amore about the narrative side of things always lol #but idk. tetia with a swirlix - eunie would be ghost type boy - riche with small things but also a ceruledge or a steelix something massiv #and brushbug would have a final form which is really long like an eastern dragon- fluffy and with wings like a fairy. It's beautiful to me #well anyway *tries to move on to the rest of life now the brief obsession has passed* #obviously oru would be fire-type tho and qifrey would be water-type and they set off together and traded their starters etc.....it goes on

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)

The main details I'm figuring out right now are

does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line

how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random

where and how does Turgon die

how does Prince Elrond's character even work

how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

#silm #silmarillion #not art #reverse gondolin au #basically elrond is giving me a Lot of trouble here #i tacked an extra 30 years onto the FA (so the SA dates are mostly shifted up by 30 years to balance it out; hence elros being king in SA 2 #this means e&e were adults during the Fall of Gondolin and the war of wrath and all #so instead of 'kind as summer' elrond of the last homely house in rivendell #we have gondolithrim veteran/dragonslayer Prince Elrond of Imladris Stronghold #and later the Bastion of the Faithful of Numenor #ironically enough he turned out way more feanorian when not raised by feanorians #instead of sirion e&e's defining Childhood Trauma was the gondolin kinslaying #in which mae and aredhel duel to the death while screaming at each other about fingon's fate and the Oath #and argon and elenwes deaths on the helcaraxe #also elwing fully died trying to protect them in this one #and then e&e were like 20something and sons/grandsons of two Lords durign the FoG so obviously they ended up fighting there too #and then again at the war of wrath #and by the mid SA elrond has already lived through so many wars he's running rather low on hope #so Prince Elrond still tries to be kind but is also substantially more willing to threaten people if need be #after eregion he founds imladris as a haven but also an impenetrable fortress #he saw the fall of gondolin and he knows that rivendell couldn't last forever #but he believes he can make it last long enough to defeat sauron first #or at least push him back so that the refugees of eregion can rebuild and survive #meanwhile celebrimbor takes up the last homely house role #but yeah Prince Elrond is pretty interesting #he intervenes more with numenor bc hes watching them self destruct and knows (bc foresight) exactly what would happen #so he tries (eventually in vain) to prevent it by disowning and exiling ar pharazon #and later exiling sauron around the time of the burning of nimloth #but it's too late and the morgoth cult already gained enough traction #on the other hand there's a lot more Faithful led by tar-miriel

Ride 768: Doubashi attack!!

Pag 1

1: Orange....

“Less of a hero”? Ah!?

2: Nonsense!!

You've never been a hero to begin with!!

Pag 2

1: Ha..... Hakogaku!!

Even Hakogaku caught up!!

2: Thick.... thick.....

3: A man like this holds the strongest of powers!!

6: I'm thin compared to him!!

That's not true, Oosumi-kun!!

7: Senpai, is he strong?

The Hakogaku member who last year defeated Sohoku's Kaburagi in the first day's sprint is

Pag 3

1: him, Doubashi Masakiyo!!

Buah!!

Pag 4

2: Buah...

So in the end you've decided to run?

3: “Chicken”

Pag 5

1: We're passing by the sign the signals 5km until the sprint line!!

2: Hakone Academy.....!!

3: Ace sprinter, Doubashi!!

Ugh.....

6: We're at “5km left” until the sprint

7: There's not much left

Pag 6

1: It won't take more than “10 minutes”!!

2: So you've come, Doubashi!!

It's “san”!!

San!!

How many times have I told you!!

3: Again!!

Pag 7

1: You want to get revenge against me!!

2: That's how someone who won last year would speak, but you lost against me!!

He's different.....!! He's much more dangerous now that he's running rather than when I met him this morning in the tent!!

Pag 9

1: Hakone Academy's Doubashi!! He's so overwhelmingly intimidating!!

It's like the pressure of a huge raging bull that has its eyes on you!!

Issa fought against someone like him last year!?

4: No!!

5: Calm down

Steady your breathing

Pag 10

Pag 14

2: I could have let you go freely, but if you keep wandering around in front of my eyes like that

3: I can't win comfortably!!

Wa-

Pag 15

1: Hakogaku's Doubashi accelerated in an instant and passed Nagoya!!

Gallop!!

2: Together with Sohoku!!

3: Ah!? “Sohoku”!? Tch!! He reacted at the same time as me...?

4: You're the only one who can react at the same speed as me in this leading pack

Orange!!

Pag 16

2: Chicken!!

Pag 17

2: Orange is still behind!?

3: Did he give an order to this guy?

4: And he still managed to keep up with my speed of reaction!?

6: What, this guy's eyes, this running

Pag 18

1: What happened, your expression has changed!!

So this guy wasn't a chicken!!

2: Sorry, Doubashi-san

We'll take this sprint

3: The two of us!!

Pag 19

1: Garuaagh

2: After stopping Nagoya down, Sohoku number 5 jumped out from there

3: and attacked again!!

Tch

Funniest concept is everyone who manages a broken teleportation circle in Wildemount taking the solstice as an opportunity to change their security codes circle sigils purely to be free of the threat of a bunch of weirdos who don't know how to call ahead dropping in unannounced

#critical role #the vellum steeple like at last. the evil is defeated. #the Nein really did NOT do their best work in uthodurn lmfao. they were VERY funny but. #really showed up. caused a scene. vandalized books. stole magic. killed random guards in one blow. have the vigilante hero a moral crisis. #iconic frankly. but also NOT their most subtle of weekend trips.

"My way of showing Azula acceptation has always been putting her in charge of military strategies and she turned out alright"

Actually, about that...

Azula is fine. I was exactly like her when I was young and there was nothing wrong with me either. Zuko has manipulated the population into believing she is insane because how else is he going to keep the throne? Zuko is the kind of person that has to sabotage everyone else to feel better about his own incompetence.

#Every single piece of evidence points to Azula being a genius but Zuko convinced everyone she's mad and put her in a madhouse #Could she have conquered Ba Sing Se in a week if she were mad? No #Could she have successfully defeated the Avatar in Ba Sing Se if she were mad? No #Could she have had the strength to put her traitorous team mates in prison if she were mad? No #I didn't choose Azula as the next firelord because of her manicure #Although I must admit she was the only choice but still #The difference between insanity and genius is who tells the history #And Zuko™ is the one telling the history now #ask ozai #Azula #Ozai #Zuko #Atla #avatar the last airbender

My opinion on each succubi from Castlevania series.

Lament of Innocence

I had to admit that I like her more I love her design, especialy her tattoos on her hands. She looks almost like an aristocrat comapred to other "sisters". Only thing that angers me about her is that she disguised as Sara in front of Leon and Justine to torment Rinaldo when he went to kill his own child. I like to imagine that she is Walter's favorite and a simp for him.(Only the lost manga can explain this)

Symphony of the Night

The most iconic succubi thinks again to Symphony of the Night. Like a previous one, I hate that she disguised herself like Lisa and literally tried to torture Alucard. She lacks of clothes, and in uncensored version, her chest is visible. (I don't have much to say)

Curse of Darkness manga

Like we don't know about her except that she had a conversation with Issac and serves Dracula, like the red haired one, but the also lack of clothes (at least her breasts are covered)

#castlevania #akumajou dracula #succubus (castlevania) #all of them are pretty #but first two are defeated by heros as the last one is unclear #imagine with the last two and if they talked with lisa at one point #but i have an headcanon that all three served walter #but the blonde one became his favorite but doesn't mean that he didn't care of other

[demadogs]

jonathan aint gonna fuckin die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#i see so many people think this will happen #1. this is wills final battle and hes had so much fuckin trauma and doing this to him on the last season would not give us a chance to see #him finally start to heal from his trauma and he will do this through defeating vecna coming out and byler #and 2. if we’re looking at it from an outside perspective jonathan just isnt a smart move to kill. it wouldnt affect people as much #like look at everyones reaction to eddie the ga wouldnt have that reaction to jonathan and they would wanna kill someone that sticks with us #we love jonathan but i dont think hes everyones number one favorite character on the show #steve on the other hand…………….. #i would be so shocked if he lives #byler

[madhyanas]

im a big fan of characters inheriting what they kill btw. getting saddled with their victim’s burdens. hunting someone down only to be granted their title. becoming what they sought to destroy. being haunted by becoming the ghost. etc

#tings #this was initially from a funny idea about hey what if. if u wanted to be the avatar all you had to do was kill the last one #hence making the 'communication w past lives' thing a bit awkward + also defeating the whole beacon of peace point altogether #but hm. din djarin + the darksaber maybe.
