i think what Jason wants (from Bruce at least) is to be loved transcendentally. he wants to be loved with earth shattering intensity, the kind that'll raze the world to the ground when lost and inspire greatness when present. Jason wants to mean something and to matter more than anything except for (maybe) another (worthy) human. Jason wants to be shown love in the way that he experiences love. but that kind of exclusive focus is impossible when your dad is Batman.

#Jason is the pathos of the batfam #Dick is also more pathos than logos but like he also didn't die so #and yes i'm mangling i'm doing it on purpose #Jay would die in a heartbeat for his family #and probably do any number of awful things #and what he wants is reciprocity #I see his as very much the kind to not ask anything of anyone that he isn't willing to do himself #but also expects others to live up to his morals #or standards or however #so he's not exactly fair but not entirely unfair either #idk there's a ton of posts right now on Jason's ideas about love and I also have a ton of thoughts myself #the dude is fucking intense #and speakign from experience #it's fuckign hard when that kind of intensity is one sided #even when you know it's unfair to expect it of the other party #jason todd #batfam

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse' #The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry. #Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse. #And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already! #Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone! #Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

decided to play the whole game again w nawen bc now I got her a fleshed out backstory + character development + most importantly. mods for pretty clothes

#I mean I had them by the end of the game but now I have them at the start #looking pretty at the start just hits different #bg3 #oc.nawen #sleep.txt #also this is ciri's outfit in different colors but it just really fits her story-wise and I'm feeling my feelings #I'm getting immersed I'm roleplaying I'm in the zone #bc like. just prior to this she had a rlly important position in the shadow thieves #and she was in baldur's gate on a mission to take control over the city's criminal operations for them and especially #to take the place of nine fingers keene #but behind the guild's back ofc. bc how else would they do this #she didn't exactly want to do it for a variety of reasons but what she wanted never mattered anyway #so she tried and made her move but. she failed #she got caught and attacked and barely escaped #she ended up crawling into a cave near the city to tend to her wounds #and it's right after that that she gets kidnapped by the mindflayer ship #so the messy clothes with barely any armor and the bandages just really complete The Look #if I could I'd just take away the belt on her waist but oh well. ig that would be too much to ask #but either way I am v happy w this heehee

the huge cast in dead mount death play occasionally makes for such hilarious moments, like there are so many different teams and factions that when two people fight for the first time they often have no idea why they're fighting or have the completely wrong idea of why they're fighting

and they'll say seemingly clever things like "so you can turn parts of your body into a bat... ah, i know... you must be solitaire's apprentice" with complete certainty but like no babygirl. there are 50 other unaffiliated people in shinjuku who could've taught her to do that

#crab watches #dead mount death play #ok i'm overestimating it at 50 but point being #it's just SO funny #when there are moments of like characters going ''i know EXACTLY what's going on here now'' but bro knows nothing #bro is just wrong #when they're half-wrong half-right is hilarious too #''this child fortune teller has something to do with my missing mentor'' well yes and no #your mentor is dead but he is a sentient pen in the child fortune teller's possession so you almost got it i guess #in all fairness it's hard to realize your mentor is dead when the child fortune teller is helping him possess a dead pigeon #to call you on the phone #eta: LMAOOO HOSOROGI JUST SAID IT BUT IN A WAY EASILY MISTAKEN AS FIGURATIVE #TSUBAKI-CHAN I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THIS MOMENT FOREVER AND FEEL LIKE A FOOL WHEN YOU FIND OUT

The 1x00 AHiB -> 4x06 glowup

#this just reminded me I need to make a ''being there for your friends when they need you'' post #because that shit is EVERYWHERE #LIKE THAT'S ALL THEY FUCKING TALK ABOUT #''It's okay sandy! You're always there for us when we need you. The least we can do is be there for you when you need us.'' (4x06) #''No! Mei is my best friend. I'd never abandon her when she needs me—we're heroes! It's what we do!'' (3x10) #''You don't know! We'd risk it for sure! I won't abandon them when they need us'' (4x02) #''As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend- I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me.'' (2x08) #''Wukong only values people by how useful they are to him'' (3x08) #''No no honestly—this is exactly what I need right now. I'm trapped under a mountain- but the 6-earred macaque brought me a peach!'' #(4x11) #Literally just the shit off of the top of my head #and then. And then that in contrast with #''I get it. I'd do anything for my friends! But at the cost of the world?'' LIKE GOD DAMMIT LEGOS #You took the basic bitch ''Help you friends'' theme and went ''But what if helping your friend hurt others'' like come on man #Hello #Where am I #I'm dying. I'm dying #Okay imma go do hw......I guess....whatever.... #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk parallels #lmk Sandy #lmk Mei #lmk Pigsy #lmk Tang #OH GOD ALSO. ''I will become someone they can depend on...the way I can always depend on them!'' (3x08) #AND #''But you're always there when I need you- so it's time for me to return the favor!'' (2x04) #Which also just ties into ''we'll figure this out together'' as a whole right #what. ever.

Sam and Castiel are the type of duo to experiment and manage to make Castiel's wings exist on the same plane as a way to heal properly them.

Cue Sam grooming Castiel's wings.

#And when Sam reveals he's always been able to see Castiel's wings then what? #And asks if it's okay if he can touch them but in the most round about way because he feels as if he shouldn't ask #And Castiel is more than happy to allow Sam to do so #Imagine Sam thinking surely he doesn't see Castiel's wings but when he put the glasses on that they used for hellhounds and he sees them #And they're the same as usual so Sam just assumes Castiel is showing them to him and Dean #But no it's just a Sam thing #It's always just a Sam thing #I have no idea if this makes any sense I'm not exactly coherent right now #sam winchester #castiel #sastiel #samstiel #samcas

Actually….re: the whole we have never gotten a glimpse ever of past crocodile thing….would be SO funny if crocodile’s backstory was just every strawhat’s combined in succession but like the wario bad ending version “a man took me and my brother in when we were extremely small children and THEN sold us out to pirates when he didnt have enough protection money who forced ys to work to buy our way out of slavery THEN my sister pushed me down the stairs and THEN she died and THEN i was taken in by a fishwoman and her apprentice. And THEN she framed me for pirate conspiracy and turned me into the marines—“ etc. etc.

Y'know, I know you're joking, just doing a silly little funny and all

But unironically, on a thematic level this could very well be true

Like One Piece's long running themes include rejection, loss, loneliness, either believing yourself to be unlovable and/or hating yourself while loving others and what all these things can drive a person to do (among many other things)

And these narrative elements come up so often you could make a little bingo card of them and have a fun little game to see how many pop up for each Strawhat and their backstories (Sanji and Robin being the most extreme examples in some ways). But the thing is that with the Strawhats, most of them manage to find a way to heal through all that trauma either through their mentors, their friends/family, the Strawhats and/or Luffy specifically. They all found a place to call home through Luffy

But Crocodile never did. He doesn't have a place to call home, people to call a family. He's still alone

So like, while Croc's backstory probably isn't all the Strawhats mashed together literally, on that thematic level? Actually, yeah, probably, especially If Crocodad Real. He could just turn out to be an amalgamation of all the Strawhats' trauma combined but with the specific twist he never had anyone come save him from it, what any of the Strawhats could've turned out like had they never met Luffy and went off the deep end

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Asks #Sir Crocodile #This post ended up sounding like Daz Bones erasure I'm so sorry #I just don't exactly know what the dynamic between those two is right now #Like to me it still feels like Croc just sees Daz as a Very Useful Underling and is keeping him around because #1) The guy's useful and 2) Dude was faithful enough to go to Impel Down with Croc when he didn't have to #Like Daz has proven his worth in that sense #But Daz himself considders fellowship pointless so IDK if there is anything more to the relationship between these two #Beyond the ''boss and subortinate'' #The point is that. I really want to know what the fuck these two were doing for the past two years #Just. Hanging out together. For two years. By themselves??????? #That's a whole separate post though THE POINT IS #I unironically think it's very possible every single Strawhat could find at least one single thing in Crocodad's story they could relate to #If Crocodad Real

i've watched a lot of good films lately in an attempt to catch up with a bunch of movies that have come out recently, but talk to me was the best movie i've seen in a LONG time

#i put off watching it for so long because i was sure it was overrated + i'm generally not a fan of possession movies #(because so many of them try to be the exorcist and they will never be the exorcist. you know how it is) #but holy shit. genuinely a brilliant movie in every aspect of filmmaking + completely aligned with my personal taste #+ exactly what i look for thematically in possession and/or ghost movies #+ the absolute perfect balance between psychological and gory #and like i said SUCH a good cold opening #tbh i think it's a useful trick to know how to get your audience to buy into a supernatural premise from the very first scene #i think that takes some VERY effective + skillful writing and directing #and as someone who again typically does NOT like possession movies i usually end the movie NEVER buying into the story #not because i'm a 'skeptic' or whatever just because the writing doesn't do the work #but SCENE ONE of this movie i was so in it #anyway. movee of all time to me #also from the trailers etc i had thought that that fluffy yellow sweatshirt mia wears at the beginning of the movie was a bathrobe lmao #my first impression of what this movie was gonna be like was NOT correct #anyway 'recently' means in the past 2 years i guess? #actually maybe this post was a lie because i LOVED nope which was also just an absolute cinematic masterpiece #anytime i watch a jordan peele movie it's just like. this man is so far beyond any other filmmaker out there right now #it's almost unfair to watch lol like an olympic gold medalist running laps around a middle school track team #anyway ummm. yeah talk to me was good though

hm

I wonder if I'm getting a bit sick of star wars

like there are the things that make me happy about it, especially obi-wan and the prequels and tcw but also like

I'm frustrated about what they did with ahsoka, and then I'm also just not finding fic that I can vibe with and the fandom just feels so…empty?

which is wild because it's definitely got bigger since I joined, but idk, it just feels like in the obi-wan fandom circles, it just feels like it's shrinking. and I think part of it is everyone being really busy with irl things (myself included) and then whatever is left in the sw fandom in general is just stuff i don't vibe with

but then I keep seeing it over and over and over again so now it's just irritating to me

like. yeah there are ships/tropes that I don't vibe with at all and I usually try to steer clear of them when looking for fic to read, but these days it feels like that's all I can find. so now I'm frustrated and tired and not really getting the fic fix that I want

and normally my solution to this is to just write what I want to read, but I don't have the mental space to do it, so I'm just. stuck.

a part of me feels bad to complain about this, but idk I'm gonna put it out there anyways. it's just like the fandom feels completely different than it did when I first joined, or even like 2-3 years ago, and I'm not sure if I'm happy about it.

#i think a lot of this also has to do with being firmly in the post kenobi show era and trying to figure out how to move on from that #like i don't feel much excitement for any upcoming sw content now #that might change depending on what they announce yet but. idk the ahsoka series really put me off #like idk if i'll continue watching mandoverse stuff. kinda feel like i'm done with that stuff #i'll definitely watch andor s2 and i'll definitely play the third jedi game #and then when it comes to fic i think it'll help once i have the brainspace to write #but i feel like i'm right about finding fic to read #which to be clear is no one's fault exactly #people are gonna write what they wanna write and they SHOULD #but as a reader i'm also gonna read what i feel would appeal to me most #and right now it's very difficult to find anything that does #even when it doesn't feel like i have a lot of things that i'm looking for maybe i am? without realizing it at least #idk #anyways #i have a weird relationship with sw. moral of the story #pandora's ramblings

#art #fantasy art #dragon #elf #my art #sunshine tales #digital painting #hm. the way the colors work with this style is... something. There is going to be a learing curve i think #it doesn't look bad right now which is why I slapped the 'finished' stamp on it #but I do think there's something that can be done about what these colors look like. because they're not exactly what i had in mind. #but hey!!! art is all about having fun and picking stuff up #i'm genuinely more pleased with the rendering of these things than with the last few paint-ish things i've done LOL

trying to word this library volunteer application in a way that makes it clear I will kill myself if they don't offer me a position without actually saying that

#Cos I think really it's exactly what I need to do right now and just . Like this specifici program I'm volunteering for I'm just like Please #Please please please #Would be the perfect bridge between my past experience and what I wanna do in the future and well #It's not a job but it's something to put my little pinky toe in the door #And then when the time does come when I'm able to apply for an assistant position or something i would have Something #Plus it will.just get me out of the fucking house

me, whilst reading the unbroken & the faithless: oh, touraine, you idiot (fondly).

#halfway through faithless rn. but when i tell you i consumed the unbroken in a day i'm not lying (saturday) #and i forced myself to only spend half a day reading faithless (sunday) which is why it's only half done #but good lordt it's so fucking GOOD #and i ship them so hard dammit #some good shit right here yall #i've been reading a LOT this year (actual books. i actually havent read any fic this year. it's weird) #and yeah. the jasmine throne / oleander sword & the unbroken / the faithless. just fucking another level of exactly what i want #now just give me those third books dammit!! #duck reads #i think that was the tag #to be clear: i totally understand WHY touraine does the things she does. completely justified. but oh darling. #she's perfect actually. you know? in the context of everything. just the perfect way to understand #(but also so is luca in her own way) #my two fuck ups just trying to do their best damnit #gods it's GORGEOUS and ANGSTY in the most beautiful of ways

[mustangs-flames]

That "I'm sorry. It's my nature." story about the scorpion really applies to mimic!Cesar and everything he's done, huh

#hail true body #htb mimic!cesar #it was just doing the only thing it knew. the only thing it was designed for. #it had no concept of right or wrong #but now he does #and it's killing him to realise exactly what he's done. just how much he has hurt people. #i have a vivid image in my head of mark impaled and bleeding out with m!cesar crying over him and saying “i'm sorry. it's my nature.” #and i am severely unwell about it lmao

[lloydfrontera]

i stand by my conviction that the best way to read tged is by stopping in ch 401 but i do have a rant concerning ch 402 that is locked and loaded for posting and i don't know if i should wait for today's chapter to drop so you guys have the full context or if i should pretend it isn't happening and i'm talking about a hypothetical ending that definitely didn't happen

#i talk a lot <3 #god. i wish you guys could listen into my brain. it feels like the highway here the way those thoughts speed by me #i'm a very fast thinker but not in a 'takes good decisions quickly' #it's more of a 'if you don't say what you're thinking right now that thought will be gone forever in two seconds' #also i talk exactly the way i write it is non stop with me once you get me going i barely stop to breathe i am exhausting #where was i going with this #ah yes should i post it now or do i wait for later tonight #this is for the people that are reading the novel you poor souls i've spoiled the novel for... i'm sorry it's too late for you
