#the fates will find a way

[saturnrin]

I love the idea that everything (positive) that Lila lies about somehow comes true for Marinette.

Lila lies about having connections to the queen of England? Suddenly, Marinette is getting regular commissions from the queen herself and forms quite the acquaintance-ship w the royal family.

Lila "is practically family" to an Italian mafia? Marinettes grandmother has quite an eccentric background, and through her, Marinette somehow manages to get a local Italian Mafia to pseudo-adopt her. (Only because she refused to actually be adopted, much to their disappointment)

Lila "went on tour" with Jagged Stone? Guess who wants his favorite designer to accompany him for his U.S. tour during the summer?

Oh, Lila says she acted in a movie for Graham de Vanily Films? Guess who ends up accidentally staring in a Graham de Vanily film?

I just want all the positive things that Lila lies about to happen to Marinette, who is sufficiently surprised every time (you'd think she'd be used to it by now), meanwhile, in the background, Lila gets progressively more pissed.

And the worst part? Every time she tries to upstage Marinette with something even bigger and grander than Marrinettes' own accomplishments? No matter how ridiculous, Marinette somehow ends up stumbling upon That. Exact. Opportunity.

It's incredibly frustrating.

You could say Marinette has some miraculous luck, despite how adamantly Tikki denies any involvement in these increasingly ridiculous turns of events.

All in all; Lila is frustrated, Marinette is frustrated, and Tikki is very amused (as are Adrien and Plagg, who watch this shit-show from the background).

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous #mlb #marinette dupain cheng #adrien agreste #ladybug #chat noir #lila rossi #tikki #plagg #tikki and plagg #tikki blames marinettes luck on her finding a face up penny on the ground two months ago #marinette thinks tikki is full of shit #tikki knows shes full of shit #this is tikkis way of protecting her lil' bug #adrien catches onto the patten and encourages lilas more ridiculous lies #adrien asks lila about her relations to american superheroes just to see how the fuck fates gonna pull that shit off #then their class wins a month long trip to gotham and/or New York #adrien thinks its funny #marinette wants to smack adrien across the head everytime she sees him talking to lila #because she just knows hes asking her about something thats gonna flip her life around for the hundreth fucking time #Marinette is so done #she wants out of this hell hole #tikki says no #all luck au

oot zelda doodle i liked :’-)))

#tloz #ocarina of time #oot #zelda #my handwriting is very very bad so i actually added alt text/image description #which i should already be doing with everything anyway. i wanna go thru and update some old stuff with that too #but yeah anyway. all the stuff this series presents about being Fated To Be Something or Fated To End Up Somewhere #even if that thing or place is ultimately Horrible and the consequences primarily occur off camera or post-canon after the Happy Ending #characters who end the story with pretty much nothing and also you find out later they inadvertently cause a far worse disaster #than even the one they gave up everything to prevent #oot zelda’s infinite number of issues and almost guaranteed lack of happiness or normality for the rest of her life #even after ‘fixing everything’ in literally the best possible way she could figure out how. given everything she knew #and then blaming herself for accidentally allowing everything to go wrong in the first place. by trying to fix it #and she was literally just a kid going insane from prophetic visions while simultaneously being disbelieved by everyone around her #except impa but she’s a whole other situation entirely. with a whole other set of baggage on the other end of the spectrum #i just rambled sos so much oops. anyway yea oot zelda #its fine. i throw up when i think about her. its fine

I lost one of my chickens :( she was caught and carried away by a fox... I’ve been growing complacent about my chickens’ safety I think because we’ve only had one other attack before, a goshawk that swooped in abruptly (unsuccessfully), but no fox sightings nearby so I’ve been assuming Pandolf was a great deterrent. Which he is, just not foolproof. I’ve talked to some people in town about this and they were pretty philosophical about foxes stealing chickens, like “it’s the tribute we pay to woodland animals, it’s just a few hens here and there.” I don’t begrudge the fox for being a fox, if anything I have a renewed respect for foxes because everyone I talked to proceeded to give me their best / worst fox stories, and most of them involved foxes outsmarting humans (learning people’s habits / timetables, opening latches, faking a limp...) Still I feel terrible for my hen, she was only three. RIP Cordy :( You’ll be remembered fondly... (except by the cats.) I feel bad for the other hen too, who just lost her pal!

When I said that last thing, one of my neighbours jumped on the opportunity to try and convince me again to accept a rooster from him. He had a rooster baby boom last summer and I’ve been telling him for months that I don’t need a rooster, I don’t want to raise chickens I just want eggs, and his new argument was that a rooster would protect my hen (or if it comes to that, would heroically sacrifice himself rather than let the hen be eaten—I’m sceptical...) I asked around for a young hen but there aren’t any to be had in this season, so my remaining one is going to be alone until the spring, and my neighbour said she’d get stressed and male company is better than no company. (I wish I could ask my hen what she wants! Maybe she’s penning A Coop Of One’s Own as we speak.) I said the rooster was more likely to stress her out and harass her and he said nah they’re free ranging all day, it’ll be fine, and he’s young so your adult hen will boss him around. I was like, but then will he be any good at protecting her? etc. etc. and after a while I caved in.

When I told her about this on the phone my mum sighed “you’re terrible at saying no”—excuse me, I said no so many times and the guy just kept ploughing on until he could foist a rooster upon me. I’m good at saying no, other people are terrible at hearing it! I reassured her that I had only agreed to take the rooster for a short probationary period, and if he bothers my hen too much I’ll drive him back to his native farm. My mum was like “Drive him back? look I’m sorry I raised you as a city kid but there’s no need to waste gas on driving a rooster around, I’ll have no qualms about wringing his neck for dinner if he’s more trouble than he’s worth.” The rooster’s fate is not sealed though, if he is anywhere from vaguely useful to not actively problematic I’ll keep him, so we’ll see...!

#if i return him where he came from he'll end up eaten anyway #prove yourself rooster! escape your fate #to go back to the fox attack; my other chicken went to hide in the barn (which is always open and they were not far from it) #and i thought she'd been eaten too because i couldn't find her anywhere. until i heard her clucking to herself anxiously #i called her and she clucked louder in response but refused to come out of her hiding place #after 10min of playing marco polo with a chicken in the barn i finally found her huddled at the bottom of #the large basket i use to store kindling #and pandolf & i went to look for cordy although i didn't have any hope #and we ended up finding feathers quite far away in the woods #i was very impressed by pandolf's ability to follow the fox's smell ! i've been teaching him 'cherche' but he's not that good at tracking #or not motivated enough when it's just for fun #but since he failed in his duty to protect his flock i guess he was suddenly very determined to be #a good dog in some other way and he was sniffing the ground so seriously #sorry the post was already long and i'm writing another one in the tags!

The best option was to kill Ranboo. Everyone begging for him to “live” assumes that choice would be the merciful option is naïve for thinking Hatch would simply set him free. No he said verbatim that Ranboo would continue to be our plaything until they became “unusable.” That isn’t being alive, that’s torture, especially for someone who was begging to be killed in the end.

People pushing for a 50/50 split are also naïve in the way Showfall Media operates. While we never know what would happen if the vote split, it wouldn’t of mattered anyway. Hell, it doesn’t matter that we choose to kill. What has been the constant sentiment throughout this series?

OUR CHOICES DO NOT MATTER

Ranboo was dead man walking before the show even began. Do you really think Hatch really is gonna let Ranboo die on his own accord just because twitch chat felt bad for him? NO! He is probably being reprogrammed as we speak, up and ready for their next show. None of this matters. All of this was for data on the newly implemented live audience Hatch installed to see how we would react to certain things.

How could Ranboo’s death be our fault, when our actions and emotions were also being used by Showfall Media?

Who says we weren’t just as trapped as Ranboo, only we get the privilege of remembering his death.

#generation loss #genloss #ranboo #ranboolive #THE MAD LAD #I’m like a detective #I find a single piece of evidence then I make it my whole personality #generation loss finale #oh predetermined fates my beloved #if ranboo ends up permanently dead I’ll eat my hat #There’s NO WAY hatch just lets him die scott free because of TWITCH CHAT #Is his name hatch? #Who cares he’s trying to live up expectations/earn the approval of his maybe dead mentor figure by any means possible #And that’s just simply unethical in the long term #I mean if EVERYONE did that earth’s population would be zero #tsk tsk tsk #simply do you bro who cares about “tHe FoUnDeR” 🙄 #Why am I like this lmaoooooo

once again thinking about the worldbuilding in the riordanverse of "names are power" / "belief is power."

The Tri were only able to become immortal through convincing enough people to worship them that it became true. Monsters and immortals only exist through continued belief, and if enough people believe that they're dead or gone then it becomes true, like Pan. Their varied forms exist and manifest as they're believed in and called upon. Names call attention and epithets summon aspects. They're acknowledgement. Belief. Putting a name to a concept creates it as an individual.

And that's so fascinating when you start applying it to demigods. How much of their abilities are based on belief in themselves, in expectations of each other, in their parents' expectations of them? We've seen mortal figures who became immortal in some form or another because they were remembered. Even the lares - ancestral house gods, who persist because they're remembered. They have a legacy.

At what point does a demigod achieve that status? Rumors and whispers about them so persistent that they slowly become true. "I heard that Jason Grace is the son of two gods, does that make him a god?" "I heard Percy Jackson defeated a titan single-handedly. That he can create hurricanes without breaking a sweat. That he can control blood." After awhile, after enough rumors, does it become impossible to tell where they end and the legends begin? Isn't that what being a demigod is; half-legend?

#pjo #riordanverse #analysis #i went a little prose-y there at the end but i am THINKING THOUGHTS #imagine being a demigod and knowing your EXISTENCE is slowing becoming warped because of others' perceptions of you! #Jason living on a pedestal his entire life and worrying so much that one day he's going to bleed ichor and his fate will be sealed #Percy recognizing that his powers are growing beyond his previous limits in ways that don't seem natural. don't seem right. #and he realizes what's happening and just has to hope the whispering quiets down and the rumors are forgotten so he can live a normal life #also the potential for demigod existential horror #becoming aware that You as a concept is slowly shifting. twisting. to match the perception others have of you #how TERRIFYING is that? like obviously it'd probably only go to an extent for most demigods cause half-mortal #but their powers? etc? SCARY #Percy being aware that his powers are becoming warped and trying to dissuade gossip about himself so it returns to normal #Nico who the more he's welcomed into the camps the more he finds himself being essentially declawed #his rough edges slowly worn away. his powers weakening and becoming less frightening. is it worth it? #and how difficult must that inherently make it for him to allow himself to be known? #and again. shaking Jason petrified that CJ is going to accidentally believe him into immortality. his worst nightmare.

I think someone somewhere said because Hatsune Miku and dinosaurs are my 2 eternal hyperfixations I should make a Miku dino... DinoMiku? Hadrosune Miku? anyway it turned out suprizingly cute while also being the weirdest thing ive ever drawn

Bonus: Lore (originally I was just gunna draw the headphones but I got carried away)

#vocaloid #hatsune miku #project sekai #doodle #paleoart #i guess???? #paleoblr #despite having drawn actual furry comissions this feels like the furriest thing ive ever drawn #this image screams thing someone will find on google images and make fun of on a group chat with their friends a fate i will humbly accept #dinosaur #parasaurolophus #do i tag all the other vocaloids and dinosaurs? #kagamine rin #kagamine len #velociraptor #meiko vocaloid #carnotaurus #megurine luka #therizinosaurus #kaito vocaloid #diplodocus #luka therizinosaurus goes hard unironically #recently i made an oc thats a therizinosaurus but now i might make another based on the luka theri #i find a way to make everything about dinosaurs #this shit has the weirdest fucking combination of tags jeebus #dragon draws creatures

something about odysseus defying the laws of the world. going to the underworld twice (first on his journey and then when he died) - something that should not be possible nor should happen to a mortal,, hearing the sirens' song and surviving,, avoiding the prophecy of "the first to land on trojan soil will die" by landing on his shield,, Circe's spell failed on him thanks to moly,, surviving Charybdis by clinging to a tree etc etc. Those things should not have happened. He should've died. But he didn't. Makes you think, was he even supposed to reach Ithaca? Was he destined to be doomed? Maybe his fate was to die all along, but still he got home. What if his return fucked up the rest of history? (y'know that theory about the trojan war and the collapse of the bronze age civilization)

#i know that it was prophesized that he WILL return after 20 years. but still #but defying fate to get what you want. selfish in a way. #aka odysseus finding a loophole for everything #niko rambles

another b5 thought i will never get out of my head is what Would Have Been if michael o'hare had been able to continue on as sinclair, mostly how catherine sakai was clearly being set up to have anna sheridan's fate. and when i tell you that would have gutted me. i might never have recovered. as it plays out we suffer for sheridan's sake, taking the cue from him seeing how much he mourned his late wife, but if we had known her? after seeing how jeff and catherine had woven in and out of each other's lives but could never let go and finally got it right??? and then we mourn for her with him when he is already holding so much sorrow?? and then?????

#b5 #that actress being in that episode of tng with geordi in that lower decks in command ep really endeared me to her instantly #so i don't know if other people are as invested in that relationship here despite the soap opera dialogue they saddled her with #but I WAS. I AM. #by the way trying to find a revealing screencap of anna sheridan's awful fate is like. her and some guys having a tea party #their choice to have melissa gilbert play anna was an inspired solution you gotta give it to them #hey honey we need a chemistry speedrun will you come play my twice doomed wife

why were they doing duels in court in chapter 4. is it a actual normalized thing for their world or saint pavlov just makes the defendant and the prosecution throw hands to see who comes out the victor. do they do it for every corruption case. can we watch madam z wrestle then dump a mug full of hot coffee on constantine's face godot ace attorney style for the whole breakout incident and for multiple instances of child murders

#reverse 1999 #certified storm moments #look. i will always find a way to loop it back to chapter 3. they were just kids. they deserved some justice no? #i think nouvelles et testes pour rien changed my brain chemistry for better or worse. that damn ending broke me and i was #not the same person i was upon finishing it #empty wardrobe was tragic and a look into the inevitability of the storm and how it affected the ones left behind but when it comes #to chapter three its horrific because they were purposefully lead to their fates. yeah they were a bunch of children too curious for their #own good but surely even in an authoritatian school you'd try to lead them away instead of. aye let's fucking let them see the storm

something that makes me cry everytime is thinking about arthur knew he was going to die, and he decided to do something about it. not for himself, but for those he loves. he wasn't going to see what happened to them, but he wanted to leave the world at least knowing that there was a chance that they were okay and that they were going to be okay. that they had the chance to live normal, happier lives, that was all that he wanted to know and he wanted to guarantee it.

#honestly it just proves to me how. selfless (or how little he thought of himself) #a lot of characters would have likely spent their last time on earth trying to find a way to escape their fate #and yet #it doesnt make up for his life of crime. for the lives he took n the lives he ruined. #but he tried. tried to at least make a positive difference on the world. on the ones he loved. #side note - i know i regularly insist that arthur is a good man. but he's more nuanced than that. he is morally grey. #i think what matters most is perspective. ill probs dive into it further in the future #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 arthur morgan #arthur morgan #strawberry speaks

Am I the only one who feels like Jooran, their new boss and Jooran's husband are parallels to Jiwon, Jihyuk and Minwhan?

Because Jooran's husband is a bum who neglects his duties even though he's at home with their child and he complains and uses up her money. Just like Minwhan used to do to Jiwon. And then there's her stern boss who is kind to her in a very stiff manner, to the point that she takes his kindness as chastisement.

He even had to prompt her to remember the good things she's been told about her work. And he said it in such a stiff manner that that too could be seen as him scolding her.

It's so easy for her to misunderstand his intentions, the way that Jiwon used to misunderstand Jihyuk's intentions.

And she's a people pleaser, the way that Jiwon used to be.

When her tummy started aching, I got scared. Please don't tell me that she's about to get Jiwon's cancer. Because, according to the rules, if Jiwon avoids a fate, it will jump on someone else. And considering that Jihyuk, Sumin and even Minhwan have gotten hit by Jiwon's fate in the past, it's easy to conclude that fate doesn't discriminate. It will jump on anyone, if Jiwon avoids it.

And seeing as Sumin and Minhwan aren't getting married fast enough, I'm left to wonder, has Jiwon's cancer found a new home in Jooran?

#I hope not #she's too sweet for such a wicked fate #Jiwon do something #please find out about Jooran's home situation and help her #help her the way she helped you out of that storage room #I swear #it's always the sweetest characters #marry my husband
