#the plan to destroy humanity

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

it is. so weird to me that I'm having to say this again after a real-life cartoon supervillian already once ran for president on a platform of hatred & fascism and won, but.

it's November, please fucking vote

#not a shitpost #serious post #this election cycle will DETERMINE what legislation gets passed #it will DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF ABORTION RIGHTS AND GAY MARRIAGE AND OTHER LGBTQ+ PROTECTIONS #the supreme court plans to destroy as much progress as possible and that means we have to rely on congress to protect those rights #which they can only do if the Dems control the senate and the house #we are in FULL BLOWN DAMAGE CONTROL MODE here #especially because it is still somehow perfectly possible and actually probable #that the festering pile of garbage in human form who recently tried to overthrow the government will end up back on the ballot in 2024 #we still haven't recovered from 4 years of trump and if we don't show up at the polls it is perfectly possible we will get another 4 years #vote this november to protect basic human rights #and vote in november 2024 so we don't have to survive another 4 years under trump #because many of us--the most vulnerable of us--won't survive. and many many more will suffer #vote to protect yourself and your neighbors. vote to protect those who most need protection. #vote because it is the right thing to do #vote out of kindness #and vote out of spite--because billionaires are spending insane amounts of money to prevent you from voting #so tell them to get fucked and vote anyway #do it out of spite and do it out of heart and do it out of rage and do it out of love #show up #us politics

I was really in the mood to do some masquerade fanart, but I didn’t feel like coming up with anything original, so here’s some of my favorite (...slightly paraphrased) bits from the first part. I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s pretty fun so far!

also one that isn’t canon except in my heart:

(disclaimer that this is a Joke)

(he is a horrible little rat man, but to be fair, so is everyone else)

(if you don’t like horrible little rat men why are you even playing this game)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #glorious masquerade #hey rolly is your big secret plan to give malleus the best day ever because so far it's working #he got INVITED to go on a TRIP and his favorite humans are there and there's GARGOYLES #not to mention his special little fancy boy outfit with a special little fancy boy hat that has room for his horns! #round it out with an ice cream social to put a nice button on it #the only downside is that the building is too nice. mal likes his buildings REAL shitty. #he WILL say this to your face. #(this is why he never gets invited anywhere.) #anyway cannot overstate how delightful it is to see jade be like 'i would also like to destroy something' #go for it! indulge that id! #azul doesn't care as long as you keep it to things he's not personally responsible for! #not included but also appreciated: trein spending twenty minutes discussing the care arrangements he made for his cat #then having a tearful goodbye with said cat #(the care arrangements boil down to 'i asked my coworker to feed him') #(crewel is a friend to all animals apparently and that's the most surprising twist so far)

Assuming that the whole 'mahiru is the vessel needed to bring back the count and the 9th servamp will be the servamp of vainglory' theory will be correct, it's interesting how both mahiru and touma can be accused of this sin even if the way it applies to them is opposed.

What touma wants is to be acknowledged and to that end he was willing to become the villain who destroyed the world before mahiru and tsurugi managed to change his mind:

Mahiru's way of being vainglorious seems a lot more positive at first because he wants to be a hero who saves others, but it's self-destructive and encourages laziness in others:

But thankfully we see mahiru starting to let go of the need to make other people proud of him and to prioritize making himself proud in his conversation with tsurugi:

and later when mahiru has a meltdown because he fears his uncle might be dead and suggests sacrificing his life to save the world kuro rightfully yells at mahiru for acting hypocritical and not listening to his own advice:

(I want to mention here that I really love how horrified kuro looks as he realizes that mahiru's reckless hero behaviour comes from a very self-destructing place:

because not a lot of manga I know really acknowledge that maybe the way a lot of their protagonists try to be heroic is actually pretty unhealthy and shouldn't be encouraged? Like Sigurd pointed out at the C3 meeting, it's kind of shameful that the children have to save the day)

Which is why I love that mahiru decided to trust kuro to handle tsubaki without him going with him:

He decides to stay back with everyone else, showing that he has learned that he doesn't need to be the one to do everything and can stay back with the others to buy kuro time.

Interestingly we see touma doing something similar. Opposed to his old need to have the whole world acknowledge him he now wishes for everyone to believe he's dead and he's helping to protect the city by creating a huge barrier without making it known that's he the one doing this:

He's helping the protagonists seemingly with no intention of earning acknowledgement for it.

I think in a way it could be cool of servamp to subvert the shouned trope that for the finale battle the only one able to defeat the big bad is the protagonist while everyone else just watches on from the sidelines, not allowed to do anything because this is the protagonist's moment of glory.

What if lily's plan when he put kuro in mahiru's path was that if kuro tried to stop tsubaki at the gate surely his eve would need to be there with him, right? Because of course he needs his eve to fight and then there's also the distance limit. So why not make the vessel you need at that gate for the ritual to work kuro's eve? Then the vessel would be at the place where you need them without you even needing to do something because naturally they would be thinking they are doing the right thing by going with kuro to fight tsubaki together. And surely someone as vainglorious as mahiru would never pass up the opportunity to be the hero who stops tsubaki. It's foolproof!

Unless of course before the ritual the vessel learned to let go of their vainglorious nature, accepted that it's okay to take a step into the background and trust in others. And additionally also found a way to break through the whole forced proximity thing that the servamp and eves had going on.

I don't know, I feel like it would be a neat bow on mahiru's character arc and a unique way to thawrt the antagonists' plans if the creation of the servamp of vainglory failed because the 'it has to be me' guy they wanted to use as the vessel decided against glory and stayed back to let his partner handle things with tsubaki alone because he trusts him. Kuro on the other hand wants to make up for his past regrets and resolve the conflict through communication this time. Learning to trust in himself again by managing to talk tsubaki out of going through with the ritual on his own would be a logical conclusion to kuro's arc.

#servamp #mahiru shirota #taishi touma #This started as a short post about both touma and mahiru being vainglorious just with one wanting to be villain who destroys the world #While the one wants to be the hero who saves the world #because they both want to be acknowledged #And then it escalated into a post about how the two of them letting go of their vainglory might end up saving the day in the end #As for lily and mikuni I feel like that needs to be resolved by misono #He has to deal with lily to get out of the chess game and tell the others about what he has learned or to confront his brother #Mahiru doesn't really have a deep connection to lily or mikuni #He barely knows them and they see him as a pawn #The one who needs them to understand that he's not a child in need of protection to the point that all they did was lie to him is misono #Lily destroyed mikuni's and his kiriko's lives as well maybe misono can work with that? #Or maybe mikuni is playing 5d chess anyway and all he does serves his end goal to get revenge on lily by making sure his plan fails idk #It is weird that his best known spell has people get hanged if they killed other humans in their life #And now he wants to kill the people of tokyo for power? That doesn't make much sense doesn't it.

After managing to survive the witch fight (by mostly hiding and being kept out of the fight) he then gets captured after being betrayed by his kids' friend. This man does not get a break. I wonder how he reacts the moment he realizes he's getting taken somewhere in the nether. He just wants to go home with his kids.

King stops after putting green in their cell just to poke Alan and make sure he's like. alive. because he's just laying face-down on the ground. but no he's just miserable and wants a break.

#'purple... did you kill one of them?' '?!?!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN' 'oh. nevermind he's just... like that i guess.' #tommy's stickmen tag #after things cool down king just kind of awkwardly goes up to him and goes like #'so i know i tried to kill everyone and i'm really sorry about that. and this may be really weird coming from me. #but like.... are you okay? even during my evil plan to destroy minecraft i was kind of concerned. and that's really saying something.' #alan's just exhausted though. he goes through a lot #animations vs is not made with human fortitude in mind

Do current Marvel Writers hate Professor Xavier or something?

#the past years’ comics’ writing makes no sense for his character #not to say he isn’t manipulative or a chessmaster in planning #but it seems very clear to me that the writers are doing everything they can to make the founding leader and father figure of the X-Men #as comically irredeemable and unlikeable as possible #in comparison to their obvious favorites #professor charles xavier #is no saint #but his main motivation had always been for mutants and humans to live together in harmony #so it makes no sense for him to be so obsessive towards Krakoa #to the point of sacrificing his own people and dooming humanity #if you want the original team to grow past depending on their leader you can do that without destroying their relationships #and the whole ‘you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’ schtick for charles is not a good look for Marvel #but this is just my opinion #an unpopular one but mine all the same #in my previous blog #I’ve said before that the only good thing to come out of the Krakoa arc #were the outfits #but now i feel like nothing about Krakoa was worth exploring as an arc #again #just my opinion #if the ‘97 X-Men series keeps fast forwarding through different arcs #i wonder if they will make the Krakoa arc easier to stomach if they include it at all #x men #xmen #marvel comics #marvel

I appreciate that at least they stayed consistent with the Sword of the Creator being Crest of Flames-exclusive and, as such, Byleth can no longer use it post-CF and is shown using a normal sword instead in their solo and S-Supported Jeritza ending pictures; makes it all the more baffling that they're still alive despite their heart being destroyed and that the Sothis S-Support exists in that route, but i'll give them credit where it's due for keeping the SOTC's lore consistent.

Post Tru Piss, there's no Crest Stone left for the SoC!

So I'd say it's not that it's CoF exclusice, but rather something like without a crest stone, a relic, even the SoC, doesn't "work" anymore.

Adding insult to the injury though, Post!Tru Piss Billy uses Rhea's sword, aka, a Holy Weapon that could be used by everyone (human and nabatean!) and even heal non-crested people : Billy uses at the end of the "we will make a world for humans!" route a sword that conveyed coexistence between humans and nabateans...

Sothis' S-support in this route really felt odd, because she acknowledges Rhea at least, but has no words for her passing when Rhea died crying for her.

Some people tried to theorise that this Sothis isn't the one Rhea remembers so she wouldn't have feelings about her... but idk, it still feels dead wrong, especially since Sothis remembered feelings of joy and sadness in Zanado, and ultimately remembers how Rhea is a her kid thanks to the lullaby (and in SS when she "talks" to her).

If Sothis was a better written character and not accidently written to be the most toxic parent in the FE series, I'd maybe write something about her feeling so bad that, again, she was used to slaughter one of her own children (Nemesis first in Zanado, and now Billy in Tailtean) but as canon!Sothis is, I'm not really motivated to do something like this.

#anon #replies #Fodlan's worst mom #Tru Piss is a gut punch through and through lol #maybe on par with FE15 Alm 'we don't need gods humanity fuck yeah but plz mila can you heal the land before leaving?' #as for the billy still being alive even if the crest stone was destroyed #idk mate #maybe it's Sothis's final gift to make Billy's natural and defective heart function? #I've read some piece where Sothis made them live so they can despair and realise what they did #that was a nice fic #I'd have loved Tru Piss if at the end instead of the crest stone shattering it's Supreme Leader who axes Billy #or Billy asks for help because crest stone shattered and Supreme Leader tearfully says this is the last sacrifice she has to make #for her ideal world to come to fruition Billy is also a non human so they have to disappear but she will never forget them #or something in the lines of Katanagatari #expect that it's Togame who survives after killing Shichika like she planned #FE16

Did....did The Metatron kick Crowley out of Heaven? Because, wouldn't Crowley have asked all his questions to God via The Metatron? Did God never even decide Crowley should Fall?? Did She even know about it before it happened?!

Was Crowley never supposed to Fall?

Just to be clear, I am greyro and I understand that what is between ART and Murderbot is queerplatonic, I am not sexualizing or romanticizing their relationship, but I just read Network Effect, and THESE ROBOTS ARE LIFE PARTNERS, YOU CAN FIGHT ME

#mine #jo is reading #murderbot diaries #network effect #ART (Asshole Research Transport) my beloved #murderbot #murderbot and ART #these robots are life partners #theyve met two whole times and art was about to destroy an entire planet for murderbot #both of their plans relied on their unique pet names for each other #art met murderbot one (1) time and literally made its identity and their shared time together the key to its salvation #they love each other your honor #get you a life partner who meets you 1 time and learns an entire new field of medicine to do surgery to help you pass as human #get you a life partner who meets you 2 times and is willing to destroy a planet if they dont give you back #get you a life partner who meets you 1 time and decides to avenge you by brutally murdering your murderers before reviving you using- #-the name only you call them #get you a life partner who also hold your hand while watching scary tv shows #and plays the soundtrack from your favorite soap opera when youre updet #and will snip and banter with you but will also apologize and meet you in the middle at the end of the day #god i love them so much #for me it will always always always be the devotion

Thinking about how we created AI and appreciate its utility to the extent that we continue tirelessly to improve it, but we're also lowkey terrified of an AI revolution and if we could build a self-destruct button into our creations we probably would

Thinking about how perhaps in Good Omens that's how God regards humanity. Creations which can be perceived as beautiful, and which are useful to an extent (e.g. facilitating the good vs evil influence-tug-of-war between Heaven and Hell). But also creations with the unnerving potential to have power over their creators - e.g. without all the humans who came together to help stop Armageddon in S1, the celestial beings likely couldn't have stopped it on their own

Perhaps God was afraid of the potential power her creations could hold over her right from the start - just as we are - hence always writing in her Plan to wipe the slate clean once the humans start getting too advanced. Does that make her a bad person, or just sensibly assuring the safety of themselves and her celestial 'children'? Would that make us bad people, if we were inclined to do the same with our creations?

#i guess for me this comes down to sentience #if god made her plans to punish half her angels and then wipe out humanity a few thousand(?) years later that's a Bad Choice #just because they're not 'of the same stock' as her doesn't mean they're any less alive or important #and if we ever had like actually alive robots and decided to destroy them all that would be an equally awful choice #good omens #good omens meta #you can really tell i wrote this during a 1am overthinking session oh well lolzor. send post

Kara wakes up in a junkyard.

She feels something akin to fear grappling her damaged insides as her processors try to scramble for memories. There was a fight with Todd. A gunshot…

“Alice!” she screams, voice module glitching out. Where is Alice?

There’s no answer. Kara tries to look around in desperation, but her scanning barely works. She lost her. She lost her and failed to protect her.

Heaps of error messages pop up on her HUD, and Kara steels herself. She needs to get out of here, out of this graveyard.

She crawls through the junkyard, putting herself back together, piece by piece, biocomponent by biocomponent. Alice is still nowhere to be found, but Kara can’t get herself to give up hope.

As she struggles to the top of the slope, out of this hellhole, she doesn’t know many things. A badly damaged android told her to find Jericho; that’s the only directive she has.

She lets the rain wash away some of the grime as she braces herself to continue.

Her name is Kara.

And she wants to live.

While i like the direction the movie took with destroying debt, et cetera, i see people say it's better than the book because what does destroying one museum do? and i think that ignores the fundamental underpinning of the misanthropic anarchism (is that a tautology? most of the time.) which is more apparent in the book, most likely due to the greater depth one can add. Unfortunately, in simplifying it to simply debt to make it seem more intense and useful, it ignores that the goal is fundamentally ideological.

Tyler, the narrator, wants society to rip itself apart from within. he set himself up as Jesus and now he is staging his time on the cross to cement it. the scene where the narrator beats angelface's face in, it's interspersed with the birth of Project Mayhem, directly in response to the eternal soulcrushing of feeling the burden of history. The actions of the past. A lot of it is actually related to pollution. And, like an anarchist, the narrator wants to burn it all down, the fish he can never have, wipe the slate clean. And so Tyler makes Project Mayhem, and as the narrator waxes about a premature dark age saving the planet, Tyler says "You justify anarchy ... you figure it out."

The thing is, being nonspecific, I'm in the environmental sector. This hatred of humanity, of the burden of the past, it's the story of the little old lady who ate a fly, it's a lot of incredibly common despair and rage that has no true goal beyond removal, ending, destroying. It's even said, in the book, Project Mayhem wants the end of civilization right now. What's the next step for Project Mayhem? Tyler doesn't say. Because fundamentally, the narrator knows it's all just idyllic dreams, the wrist thick kudzu and the clear air — maybe some people believe that would happen if humanity was massively depopulated, but it would not rid the world of the nuclear waste, of the oil wells. Et cetera. It betrays the inherent issue with anarchism, it's why the book is such a good critique of it, it's why it highlights the connection between anarchism and misanthropy. Everyone knows Project Mayhem is a death cult.

And yet, they do wish for better. Even at his most nihilistic, Tyler looks with the goal of setting people free. However, the narrator feels the immense stress of being a cog in an impossible to stop machine. It is so important, to remember the despair and panicked impulse to end it all is a result of the malfunctioning society, not simply some random bad choice. It's the result of an animal in a corner. He has no idea how to imagine a construction beyond it — so he follows the male impulse and wants to kill it.

And unlike the movie, it's more of a virus approach.

#fight club #tfw youre not well read enough to call yourself a communist #tyler/the narrator are inherently pathetic creatures to me because of anarchism thing #like its the conditioned response #i feel a lot of sympathy for it #the root causes are so immensely horrifically painful #but either kill yourself or buck up and make a plan #for AFTER you destroy capitalist society #once again: who will operate and build the sewers. how. how will you get metal and chemicals and food and #stop hating humanity and do something about it instead

anyways speaking of crossing over sonic with everything i never posted this ff7 au shadow design i drew up when i was watching ff7 with a friend (mostly cause this is literally all i have Drawn of the au and every other thought is written down in a like 300+ message long conversation we had). i put jenova cells in that thing

#also the shadow pose and artstyle is very very heavily referenced from a sonic channel art which is another reason #anyways he's normal. i think his state in sa2 and sephiroths motives in ff7 line up very well. btw. what if you were jenova experiments #who were used and traumatized by humanity and harbored a deep hatred for them and sought revenge. #what if you are woken up from cryostasis by someone very much like you with a plan to destroy humanity and #with your manipulated memories you agree. but as shit goes on and you both dig your plan deeper real memories start to come through #and you start second guessing it all #anyway.

Stumbled across the Earthspark Official Guidebook today and found some answers to stuff I'd been wondering about!

#I haven't really kept up with the fandom so idk if this is common knowledge now since it came out in July #still very curious about things like is the 'final battle' when they destroyed the spacebridge? #bc it sounds like either Megs wasn't planning on helping until halfway through or they are in fact 2 different things #which means the 'final battle' was maybe more like 'the last time humans were involved' bc iirc there weren't any at the spacebridge #I feel like this history wasn't really solidified when they wrote Alex's explanation to the kids bc Megatron's role is Completely different #Transformers

[sporesgalaxy]

i need to sit down and review the whole pla story and write my silly little fanfic so bad actually. the way that scrangle and volo are perfect character foils and theyd hate each other so much about it. like

#guy who hates experiencing human suffering and wants to destroy the whole universe so he can make a new perfect paradise VERSUS #kid who hates experiencing human suffering and wants to destroy the whole universe so they can return to their ideal former life #BUT THEY BOTH HAVE POKEMON THAT ONLY EVOLVE WITH HIGH FRIENDSHIP. SO THEY ARE BOTH CLEARLY JUST #COMPASSIONATE BUT DEEPLY MISGUIDED AND DYSFUNCTIONAL PEOPLE #AND THEY BOTH GET SO SO MAD WHEN THE OTEHR GUY IS SIMILAR TO THEM BC THE OTHER GUY IS DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS TO THEM #scrangle #adddna #THE FACT THAT SCRANGLE WOULDVE PROBABLY BEEN ON BOARD WITH VOLOS PLAN ANYWAYS IF HED TOLD THEM ABOUT IT WHEN THEY FIRST MET #BUT BY THE TIME HE REVEALS HIS PLOT SCRANGLE IS TOO ATTACHED TO THE WORLD TO ALLOW IT TO BE DESTROYED
