#the one that Dark picks up?

[indiiglow]

Okay so. one thing I wanted to mention. When you open the box to get to Wilford in heist, the thing inside it looks an awful lot like the big crystal from space, doesn't it?

#iswm #ahwm #in space with markiplier #a heist with markiplier #Markiplier #indi's night talk #the one that Dark picks up? #I lowkey consider that to be The thing that's in the box #probably means nothing but it's a fun piece of lore to think about

i like to think everyone has a colour associated with them, whether its just your fave colour or what you generally wear most of or what colour your bedroom walls are. i always associate the name sophie with dark blue, my mum is always a nice turquoise, i like to think my colour is a bright sunflower yellow.

if you have a specific shade pls tell me i adore when ppl have associated colours and tell me them, bc i think of them when i see that colour

#shut up danni's talking #its one of my ultimate favourite aspects of character designs and i will forever use it w my characters #but i also think abt it w ppl!!!! #its almost certainly spawned from a combo of my mum passionately loving her colour + my primary school #my primary school's name/theme/whatever was related to the rainbow #its common for primary schools in the uk for the uniform to be polo shirts and schools would pick a colour and that was your uniform #but w my school's theme being rainbows they were like lol whatever colour as long as you're in a polo shirt #so kids would choose whichever shirt colour they wanted some kids switched it up every year #others stuck w the colour they chose all 6 years #so of course i would correlate ppl w colours which is how i always relate sophie w dark blue #bc i'd play w this girl called sophie in the afterschool club who always wore dark blue through all the years i knew her #tbh i still think of my brother also as dark blue bc he would wear the same colour #if you could not guess my colour was yellow and i always felt distinctly wrong when i had to wear a different colour #there were a couple times i had to borrow a new shirt bc mine got dirty or all mine hadn't been washed so i had to wear my brother's #i don't know if its just me but i feel like everyone has an affinity with a colour even if its n9t your fave #hence the poll lmao

this tim drake panel in particular!!!

#picked up tt’s nightwing vol 1 and am revisiting it because it was one of the first arcs i’d ever read #of course now i see the problems with it but like i still adore the art and miss the feeling of dedicating myself to a series #for the first time #i also picked up a physical version of the whole dark crisis series and god #god is it beautiful #i really want to go back to my local comic book store soon but we’ll see when i have time #just the feeling of like holding the physical media is like no other though #obsessed with it tbh #q speaks #q reads comics #tim drake #dc comics

online buddy of mine (born in 2004) said “i strongly suspect the vast majority of ‘I'll always remember where I was on 9/11’ stories are not true. I simply don't believe that 75% of people were watching the news live at 8:45 in the morning on a Tuesday when the strangest thing happened.” and like. okay. we can talk about the aftermath in the 22 years since 9/11 and the horrific and evil jingoism that ruined countless lives in decades-long wars all we want. but i cannot overstate enough that 1) we still very much had a monoculture in 2001. most americans would watch either the today show or GMA. 2) as soon as that first plane hit every news station in the country was covering it. schools and businesses and break rooms turned on every tv. every radio. anything that had the ability to broadcast the news. (smartphones weren’t a thing. cell phones and the internet existed but they were new and fragile. unreliable. your best bet was still to sit there and watch. or listen.) and we all sat there and watched the second plane hit and the pentagon hit and the towers collapse and flight 93. so, yes: basically everyone who was alive and old enough to form lasting memories in 2001 remembers that day and the coverage. even people who weren’t near a tv or radio in real time remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. they probably even remember the reason why they didn’t hear about it in real time. i was 5 years old in my first week of first grade and i remember it. it was like. the biggest thing to happen in this country since fucking. pearl harbor. bigger. there’s no need to downplay that.

#personally: my school intentionally kept us in the dark and didn’t dismiss us so i didn’t find out until i got home #but we all knew something was up because it was a glorious september tuesday and they cancelled recess to keep us inside #and all of the teachers looked shaken and some kids were picked up by their parents. #i still remember the look on the face of the mom of one of my classmates. we would later find out that her dad (my friend’s grandpa) died. #but they didn’t tell us what was going on and i think they made the right choice. #didn’t want to traumatize thousands children more than necessary. i think they were right. #i still remember exactly where i was and how my parents told us though #and i remember all of the coverage after. all of it.

Story Idea:

22 year old Gotham University student Danny finds a Damien clone whose near death and saves his life, offering to let the kid stay with him in his crappy apartment. The clone accepts, thinking Danny seems like a tolerable chump to bide his time with as he builds his strength for another fight with his progenitor for his rightful place as heir to Batman. Danny absolutely 100% knows the kid’s a clone and that taps right into his childhood trauma, making him want to protect him all the more. (Up to you if Dani is alive but in my version she’s not). Over time, Clone!Damien becomes begrudgingly fond of his new caretaker, especially after Danny starts taking him on Doctor Who style adventures through time/space and the tamer parts of the GZ (there are none) as part of his efforts to build up the kid’s confidence (outside his overcompensating ego) and help him learn to grow into his own person.

Bonus!

Danny and Clone!Damien are the downstairs neighbors to none other than Jason Peters (aka Jason Todd). They both clock him as Red Hood pretty quickly, but it takes much longer for them to connect him to the Waynes, so he’s kinda just their marginally more normal neighbor who happens to be a crime lord and who, for some reason, tends to check up on them a lot. (Originally this was because RH thought Danny might be an upcoming villain, then because he didn’t understand how Danny was alive, and then Clone!Damien moved in and he started checking to make sure that he didn’t murder Danny in his sleep). Luckily, Jason is a fantastic cook, so they are both grateful (to varying degrees) for his nosiness. (Is this a Dead on Main situation, are they just good friends? Who’s to say? You. Or me. But probably you.)

#danny phantom #dp x dc #damien wayne #jason todd #dc x dp #dead on main #dani phantom #potentially #Damien’s clone who has yet to pick a name #throughout this Danny dresses suspiciously like a supervillain #he’s got the wild hair goggles a sleeveless lab coat big ol’ boots too big for his feet #he makes a modest income off a handful of patents and is attending the university under scholarship #(it’s the Wayne secret anti villain scholarship that they use to monitor possible enemies/allies and help them before they go dark) #Jason has no idea how Danny managed to buy the apartment below his considering that he owns the whole thing and wasn’t looking for renters #he just appeared one day with moving boxes and all the proper paperwork #apparently he exploited some old as balls property laws to get his hands on the place #which is honestly sad #Jason has much better apartment buildings he could have gone for #the plants are a nice touch though #really liven up the place #almost cover up that lingering stench of death

Made my clownsona into a Clown Corps agent.

Close ups on text below cut

#honkful art #clownsona #vibes honkful #clown corps #I don’t think I phrased it well in the image but the cards are clearly single use since they teleport back to her room #the spade cards don’t and have to be recalled manually and so they can be reused *on the field* #meaning she can just go pick them up lol #if she leaves any behind #again she can just recall them in her room on her own #also it’s a dark denim jacket #not a leather one

[theabigailthorn]

Shadowheart and Nocturne sure seem like to be good friends

yup, just two gal pals, hanging out, doing each other's hair in a secret back room, Platonically, fighting alongside one another, writing in diaries about one another, just as friends, sharing memories, as friends though

#I'm so glad you picked up on the queer implications cause that was a deliberate choice I made when I recorded the lines lol #I was like “I'm gonna make it gay - hee hee hee! I'm putting queer characters in video games and NOBODY can STOP me!” #Anita Sarkeesian texted me afterwards and congratulated me on completing my sinister mission #“Now we are one step closer to destroying video games forever!” she said laughing maniacally #“Yes Oh Dark One!” I replied - loyal soldier of the SJW Empire that I am #For clarity's sake this didn't really happen #Anita and I have never met #I just decided to play the scene that way because it was more interesting and added more stakes

Johnny Guilty Gear Strive is not a single day under 37 years old. "Age: Unknown" my ass. Face of a man whose frequent all-nighters in his 20s finally caught up with him. I understand, Johnny, I empathize...

#Photopost #Beard Johnny is awakening something in me... #Jk Johnny's always been a babe. Putting a beard on him's like garnishing a good steak #And like any juicy rare steak worth it's weight I will pick him up with both hands and tear him apart betwixt my jaws like an animal #The power went out and there's so much red and bright blue lightning outside it's like an alien planet. My phone is at 50% #The wind was blowing apples off the tree in the backyard and they were bouncing off the roof haha #Tomorrow I need to go see if it knocked down any of the ripe red ones from its apex... They're small but they're delicious #Tree had so many apples this year a big branch snapped from their weight. Bees'll be happy though when the apples fall and rot #Anyway I think Johnny mostly bottoms for men and less so for women but for Johnny/Sol... well... ;^) #I've imagined that Sol only bottoms if his partner can kick his ass #Lmao this took a turn. Bored and stoned. No internet and no lights to even read by. Unfiltered Sol Radguy after dark thoughts #Suggestive cw #Drugs cw

(lyric roughly translates to "This poison intoxicates me to the point of insanity")

I recently got introduced to Le Bien Qui Fait Mal, a song from the french rock opera about mozart in which a man gets sexily manhandled on stage while singing about being driven to madness and obsession by music that causes him both pleasure and pain, so, like,...................... I knew what I had to do lmao. This song is about Sammy Lawrence now.

Ser Fel, the Chimera Knight or Unmoored Knight

i love my arisen who was so cringe and fail that he got removed from his own world. get ratio’d by the Endless Cycle idiot

Thora, the other Arisen in the nihilism meme belongs to @missszena​ <3

in game featuring his pawn Leoris

#dragon's dogma #dragon's dogma dark arisen #ddda #fanart #sketch #art #artists on tumblr #ddda arisen #dragon's dogma oc #my art #screenshots are a bit outdated he has the diabolic shield now. i grinded for this bitch #fel isn't from gransys but don't ask me for names i'm entrusting the sequel to give us more world lore #he defeated his dragon but didn't kill it and got fucked over when he was lured to bitterblack. got lost there and was displaced entirely #thora is the one who stumbled on him and he's wound up in her world but hasn't managed to get back to his #he goes back to bitterblack after witnessing this cycle gets lost and turns into a living armor #note to the cycle maybe next time don't pick the depressed jaded knight as ur arisen. bro couldn't even be arsed to finish his quest #i think often about the lack of mystic knights and most of them appearing as undead. inherently doomed vocation or whatever #anyway i'm terrible at finishing any art for fel sry #i'm gonna go make myself emo over fel's relationship with leoris now. see you whenever

Not to be slightly pretentious about my own art for a second but I'm up thinking about the repeated visual imagery I've developed in my wkm fanart

Specifically the twin stars as Celine and Damien post WKM, particularly in their relation to Wil. How it's about them haunting the narrative. How it's about them still being there in Dark and yet not being there at all. How it's about the ways Wil still sees them in everything. How he misses them and how he carries on with that weight, with their legacy (the same reason I often draw him with star motifs of his own. Always carrying them with him in his own little ways.)

#atlas.art #atlas speaks #i wonder sometimes how many people pick up on it bc everytime i think about this shit it drives me a little insane #they are everything to me do you get it #the fucking 'Woke Up New' Wil drawing still gets me despite all the ass jokes people made about it for this specific reason #it was the first and arguably most effective use of this symbol considering it set the standard for it's meaning #also yes the stars were also a part of the reason i drew the barbie outfit drawing lmao have fun never looking at that one the same again #also not included here but slightly relevant is the google drawing with the stars #considering the specific ideas i have about google's path towards humanity and its relationship to Dark and his humanity so #anyways I'm done being pretentious now probably i swear

Dazai's journey into the light

Chuuya was the one to spark Dazai's interest in living. He showed him that there were interesting people out there, maybe even some who could surprise him.

"Even Dazai had forgotten to breathe as he watched the storm that was Chuuya".

But they were separated, and never grew close enough for Chuuya to pull Dazai out of the lonely hole he was trapped in.

Dazai joined the mafia and tried to recreate that initial spark, but he couldn't, it wasn't enough and the ember of hope began to die.

Odasaku was the one to nurture that dying spark until it was a flame. He carefully and slowly tended the weak fire, taking time with Dazai to listen to him and provide some actual goodwill. saying things that no one else would. it showed Dazai that there really were people wo could surprise him, and maybe even understand him.

He gives Dazai, an anchor. a fixed point to hold in the endless sea of blackness he drowns in

When Oda died, he left the fire burning strong, it was able to burn on its own without constant tending. but even the strongest fire burns out without fuel, so Dazai set off to find a place that could keep the flame alive.

The ADA allowed Dazai to maintain his flame, the knowledge that he was following Oda's wishes and the fact that he was now surrounded by people who genuinely cared for him let Dazai keep a strong and steady will to live.

However the lingering shadow of death was still there, he still ties himself to suicide unable to let go of the thing that once seemed his only escape.

Atsushi was the one who chased off that shadow.

Having someone who trusted, relied on, and looked up to him as much as Atsushi does was what I think really helped Dazai to fully embrace the Idea of living.

Proof of this is that he stops his suicide attempts. He claims he's looking for a beautiful woman to die with, but I think thats more of an excuse, a believable reason he stopped trying to kill himself without letting others know that he doesn't want to die anymore.

Manga spoiler ahead!

The Decay of Angels are what show us the raging inferno he has become.

For the first time we are truly getting to see Dazai fight desperately to save everyone, including himself. He normally despises effort and to see him struggling so desperately against Fyodor and even trying to stay alive which he never would have before.

Because his friends and his student need him.

Look at those eyes burning with determination, Dazai's are always described as pools of darkness so deep that even characters like Verlaine, Akutagawa, Mori... are unsure if there's a bottom.

But here we see they've finally been filled up.

“the most unrealistic part of encanto is the magic” NO. The most unrealistic part of encanto is how mirabel only whispers “ow” during this scene:

like that looks so painful and she’s like “oh it’s just a cut” GIRL LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CUT😭 I’m so sorry but my dramatic ass would be crying and screaming that looks so sore!! Like that’s not a small paper cut that’s a full on sharp cut from a tile!?

#encanto #encanto disney #mirabel madrigal #disneys encanto #seriously how is she so chill about that!? #yeah the house started cracking but like that won’t stop me from complaining of pain #I literally find papercuts painful thats like a giant papercut #mirabels pain tolerance is unmatched ig? #also why was only julieta concerned about her giant cut on her hand😭 #like imagine having to move that omg the pain #unrelated but I love how they actually showed the blood like it’s not just a little scrape its DEEP #lesson learned dont pick up tiles that just fell off the roof #also kinda dark but like do yall ever think about the fact that tile could have landed on her head!? #like what if another one fell and she just gets knocked out but nobody would know until way later #wow that was off topic anyways I envy how nonchalant she was about this
