#this thing is so overpowered

[aphantimes]

the m.e acts on its own to protect the planet sometimes so the safety of the planet is within its interests but like .... what if it didn't do that. what if it instead wanted to make things worse. it could do that so easily. the chaos emeralds have saved the planet so many times and the m.e could've stepped in at any point and went "nah i don't think so". there have been times where the chaos emeralds were the ones causing the disasters and the m.e could've easily made that worse.

#goshhh i need more evil m.e #i need to make more #this thing is so overpowered #world is lucky it stays out of conflicts so often and when it does act on its own its on the side of 'good' #master emerald

[fleetways]

finally. the chimera baby super form

due to her particularly strong chaos powers, mira can obtain a mini super form with less than 7 emeralds. depending upon the number of emeralds, her appearance and personality can change quite drastically. this is her with either five or six.

obligatory poll link

#aka that sonic persoanlity comes out but like 1000 times more irritating #like how super sonic has kind of a different personality from regular sonic. that’s kinda what I’m imagining here #she is infuuuuriating like this #chimera baby #sonadow fankid #sonic oc #if u cant tell her superform is highly inspired by hyper shadic from nazo unleashed (duh) and dr finitevus from the Archie comics lol #i wanna draw her other forms too…but this is the one i did a while ago and never shared #also for the record. i came up with the indidual emeralds giving certain powers thing BEFORE superstars was announced #so there’s something #chazart #eyestrain #sonadow #ooo main tag scary #look at her #insane overpowered super forms. know your roots sonic fans

Whenever someone says "This would kill a Victorian child." Or "This would kill a medieval peasant." I have to think about Machete. Would he... would he survive eating a Dorito?

.

#I've never had doritos myself so I have no point of reference #I think they sell them here nowadays but it's a fairly new thing and I don't eat a lot of chips #they had spices in the past but they were extremely expensive #I think most of them had to be imported from South/Southeast Asia #India in particular #few could afford such luxury goods but if you could serve people spicy food it was a mark of wealth #so historically a lot of upper class dishes were extra flavorful #potentially to an overpowering degree maybe #it was a status thing #a dorito wouldn't kill him but I've mentioned he secretly tends to favor somewhat bland and unthreatening foods #that won't set off his sensory issues #he'll eat the various nutmeg cinnamon clove saffron ginger creations people serve to him because declining would be a massive faux pas #but it's not an enjoyable experience #answered #anonymous #give him some light broth and a little bit underseasoned chicken to eat with his watered down wine

Would Frank's fiestiness be a factor on what REALLY sealed the attractiveness with him for Eddie?? I imagine the big goon would just have the biggest lovestruck smile on his face after being called a "clueless loon" by Frank. Can't even focus on the words being said because he's just admiring how shiny Frank's hair looks that morning.

Oh absoLUTELY. Eddie’s hardly even fazed half the time by Franks weird unnecessary hatred for him 😂 I mean if anything Eddie seeing Frank in a good fist fight with a criminal trying to run definitely god him all red in the face, and seeing that on a smaller scale in the workplace has definitely given him some butterflies

#and he finds it HILARIOUS sometimes and that catches Frank off guard all the time! #in a good way! #throwing pencils at people and telling them to fuck off makes Eddie laugh so hard! and sometimes Frank would do it just because of that! #it’s so sweet though. all that aggression and so easily getting what he wants out of people and overpowering when he’s able to #and yet the thought of making a move with Eddie absolutely terrified him #so much so that he backed off from Eddie at some point #and started doing things FOR him and not TO him #crime puppets au

Canon Characters vs OC vs x Reader

Disclaimer: This is just my two cents, and my perspective on things, and I'm not trying to lay down the law for everyone. I needed to just put this to words though, in order to sleep.

I was thinking about this because of a post I saw, and some, we'll say, kind of useless comments associated with the post. Mean-spirited stuff.

Normally, in one ear and out the other, but the vibes just kicked me off down a rabbit hole of sorts an I wanted to try to put some of my thoughts to words.

First, some style vibes:

Canon x Canon Canon/Canon stories are, to me, like reading an episode of that show. I'm sitting down in front of a TV or whatever, and I'm experiencing the story As A Viewer. I like this style because I don't really have to expend much energy and I just kind of roll with whatever's happening. Generally some sort of 3rd person perspective.

OC x canon OC/Canon stories are like being on a carnival ride. I'm sitting in a car on a roller-coaster, and maybe the OC is sitting next me. I'm experiencing the story more deeply than strictly canon stories, but my connection with the OC is no deeper than say, my connection with Katniss Everdeen when I read The Hunger Games. Sometimes 3rd person, sometimes first person.

Reader x canon Reader/Canon (or Reader x/ OC) is like putting on a VR helmet. I don't get much physical input about the "Reader OC" because I'm experiencing the story through their eyes. I don't expect the reader to be me, but there's a bigger feeling of immersion to be had. Some description might happen cause it's relevant to the story, and it's still a type of ride, I can't jump the rails on the roller coaster, after all. (Even with a VN you still follow the tracks). Sometimes first person, sometimes second person (I'm partial to 2nd person perspective, but that's just me).

I love Fan Fiction, I love it. All of it, and man even more than anything, what I love is that I'm going to dislike 80% of it. Because that 80% was written for someone who is not me. (Hell, that number's probably closer to 99% if we're looking at ALL fandoms, but I digress).

Second - The VENT:

What got me the most in the post that prompted this, was someone saying "Bring back the Mary Sue OCs!" and then they went on to describe something more detailed, and I just -

Look, respectfully, fuck you.

The point is, you're not going to be happy no matter what. Whether it's "mary sue" OCs, or x readers, or alternative universes, or a ship you don't like, you're going to find something to be unhappy about.

Cause people have been bitching about all styles of fan fiction since the first "You've Got Mail" chimed in 1991. And until 1998 and ff.net you really had to hunt for it, and until 2007 and Ao3 the idea of tagging a fic for any reason wasn't really a thing. Every click was a surprise! \o/

I just have seen the same song and dance a dozen times. It's exhausting. People become okay with OCs and decide x readers are the enemy, and before that OCs were *all* Mary Sues and cringe and people who made OCs were the enemy, and before OCs people who wrote even a little OOC were the enemy, and people who wrote AUs were the enemy, and you can write fan fic but it HAS to be Canon Compliant, and everyone MUST be in-character at all times - "They would not fucking say that" was the enemy.

Look, just please - please - in any capacity, stop it with the "All X style of story telling is crap" mindset. There's over a dozen different ways to do x readers alone. I know 20 x reader writers and I don't think any of us have the same style, preferences, or vibes.

I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I thought I hated x readers, but I really loved this." on a few different fics I've written. Sometimes it's not the style of the fic, sometimes it's the style of the writer, and my Brother In Christ - you're going to have to read some awful shit to shuffle through the thousands of writers out there to find the vibes that resonate with you.

Ostracizing entire swathes of fan fic because you need something to be "The Enemy" so you can lift up something else, and then bitching you can't find anything new to read seems like a personal problem.

And I know y'all are scrolling by TONS of posts that don't interest you, every day, as a matter of course. So don't give me that "clogging up the tag" BS, because we deserve to be here same as anyone else in the fandom.

#quin grumbles #I'm so aggravated I don't even really know how to tag this #like almost 30 years of it I'm just so done #I just wonder what amazing stories we're not getting #cause of some fucker using Mary Sue to belittle someone #or someone beating someone else over the head with plot armor because their protag survived something terrible? #How many “Oh.” moments have been missed because someone criticized the very concept of reader insert? #I'm way past my usual bedtime so I'm just rambling at this point #and I am being meaner than I'd like #but JFC #I'm not going to let people's bullshit opinions stop me or anyone else from writing if I can avoid it. #Write what you want #gush about it #talk about it #TELL ME ABOUT IT #IDGAF if it's cringe or overpowered or broken or flawless or an OC or a reader with a name or WHATEVER #If it brings you joy #then do it #and if people are too mean to scroll by it when it's not their thing #and then complain like they're entitled to do so #block 'em. #and tell me who they are so I can block them too #then write more #cause I promise it'll bring someone else joy too

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

#makoto naegi #Danganronpa character analysis #Danganronpa #danganronpa thh #danganronpa future arc #I fucking love Makoto Naegi man. #I think there’s a fine line of nuance to Makoto that’s easy to miss bc he doesn’t really make it known #he’s not a pushover and he’s not overpowered. he’s a people pleaser but he will say what needs to be said #he’s an immovable object and the exact opposite of Junko but he’s also just a normal guy who’s optimistic and (un)lucky #he isn’t invincible but he has immense power to his words the same way Junko did #if anything his superpower is being kind above all else. he’s compassionate to some of the worst people in the world. #he was even conpassionatr to an extent to Junko. he didnt want her to kill herself despite everything she’s done #and he still acknowledges that for years she was a classmate and friend. #I do think the more he learned abt what she did the more he’s come to actually hate her though #post the first game he always refers to her without a suffix to her name which is one of the most subtle rude things you can do #it means you have zero respect for the person you’re referring to #and he speaks about her with some venom he doesn’t use for anyone else in the future arc #he’s not incapable of feeling negative emotions #I really liked the future arc scene bc it showed that Makoto DID experience enough despair to have overcome him if he didn’t refuse #and that it still affects him deeply. people treat him like he’s either this perfect ideal Chad or this baby chick who’s so delicate #and no one really focuses on how makoto shoulders so much and yet is still vulnerable. #honestly that guy was DUE for a mental breakdown even without the tape. it would have happened eventually #I actually wrote one based on him finally hitting a breaking point after giving so much of himself away and keeping nothing for himself #that his issues that he shoves down constantly finally can’t be held down anymore. Hajime helps him bc he knows how that feels #it was a LONG time ago that I wrote that but honestly if I can remember where i was going w it I might finish it #it was initially an rp but I could make it a fic #anyway. the point is Makoto is SO much more complex than people give him credit for #the most fundamental thing about him is that he’s normal and that’s ok! that’s what helps him rise!

May all those youtubers who made series where they just dissed beginner artists' ocs and labeled them as marysues a very i will find you

#Ruined a generations confidence in character design and writing #Me #I am part of that generation #Grrrrr constant worry that my ocs are too overpowered #Or overdesigned #And then i overcompensate and UNDERdesign and UNDERpower them and they become BORING #Ill kill and maim people #Looking so so SO hard at solarsands and spoctertech #Art commentary community: the worst thing to have happened to me as an artist #Sorry for the random rant but i just remembered child me being absolutely scared shitless of ending up on one of those #Instilled so much fear and anxiety in me about people in general concerning art and stories #Mauls someone #.txt

Remember to compliment your favorite weird person regularly. Weird people actually gain +2 to all stats for 5 turns when complimented and it doesn't even consume your action so there's literally no reason not to. Like you are actually playing suboptimally if you don't compliment your favorite weird person.

#bedposting #handy tip #compliment weird people #it's a good idea #honestly surprised they haven't nerfed this it's so overpowered #like when i get compliments i tend to feel like i could level a building which is probably not good for game balance #but i'll take it though! #is this unreality? i know some people are uncomfortable with unreality so i should probably tag that sort of thing #unreality

cleaned my apartment

1.5h of youtube workouts

grocery store

made two truffle bases that I gotta shape & coat tmrw (cranberry-white chocolate and blackcurrant-dark chocolate ones) (for christmas presents)

2h of coding (while listening to Frank Watkinson from youtube; had the chillest time bc of it)

#worried that I used too dark chocolate bc idk if it overpowers the blackcurrant #but I’ll cover them with blackcurrant powder tmrw so that’ll add a bunch of flavor #but ik I set myself up to a failure with that one bc made them bc one of my family’s fave chocolates ever were these blackcurrant tryffles #but those were from an actual chocolatier so obv these aren’t going to be anywhere near that #bUt iT’s ThE tHouGht ThaT COuNtS (tell that to my perfectionist self ugh) #there’s still time to pivot tmrw but chocolate & cream & blackcurrant powder aren’t cheap #and I’m making presents out of budget reasons and that’s soon gonna be like could’ve bought presents if I’m redoing things #today #december 2023 #2023

I always thought it was so odd that in Steven Universe they have a whole episode where Steven like projected himself into Lars' body and then him being able to do that was never mentioned again

#ok well thats not ENTIRELY true bc he did project himself into the watermelon Stevens but im pretty sure that was explained as them just #having a connection bc he magic spitted them to life and not because hes just able to astral project himself into other peoples' bodies #also thats just like a ridiculously overpowered ability to have. none of the other gems can do that its just Steven #except white diamond but i dont think that's the same #because she can control herself and other people at the same time #but they have to do everything shes doing and she cant really make them act individually #and Steven can only control one person and he has to fully leave his body #but his body isnt doing the same thing as him #anyways but why wasnt he able to use it to possess humans again? like maybe it was against his morals but like #wouldnt it have been so much easier to just possess someone in Beach City to tell his dad and the gems what was going on instead of #going through the stress of possessing a million watermelon Stevens? #if he cant control possessing people thats fine but i still think they should have mentioned it again #sorry for SU posting i just thought about it for the first time in a while and i remembered that that had always confused me

dp headcanon that one of danny's powers that he has (whether yet to be unlocked or just undiscovered) is the ability to open portals to and from the ghost zone bc he died when one opened right on top of him. its arguably his most op power bc no ghost has that kinda power, they rely on other objects to do that for them and even those objects are highly sought after and coveted.

my biggest draw to this outside the allure of convenience is just how fkn funny it'd be bc my boy danny is ALWAYS looking for shortcuts. the gz will be filled w danny's miscellaneous crap he put there so he'd have quick access to it, to the point where he can and will lose things either because he forgot where in the gz he put it or a ghost'll be like 'oooo neat! free things!' and nab it bc its unguarded lol

not to even mention when danny just gets tired of fighting he could just open a portal and launch the ghost through and close it. best case scenario the ghost'll give up the fight, worst case danny gets a 20 minutes break while the ghost has to fly all way to his parents' portal then back to where he is. repeat this until danny wears them out or he catches them off guard by them expecting another portal but surprise!! soup time!!! :D

also it helps w aus where danny isn't perma stationed in amity bc oh nice my son can go live w new family elsewhere,,,

#shut up danni's talking #i fkn love danny sm #i would absolutely put this in my current dp fic but lol that would definitely mess up the premise of danny being stuck unable to leave #if i see this more in the dp fandom i will get so happy bc we're sleeping on it #also danny is held back from being so overpowered its boring because our son is Dumb of Ass but Heart of Gold #i love the fact that he straight up forgets to use powers and stuff like that's likely not a thing he could practise #he'll always be an idiot and i mean that in the most endearing way danny would be boring if he had any form of common sense xoxoxo #danny phantom #dp

I feel like a lot is missed in translation with sukuna because every time I see analysis on the original writing (in Japanese) with him, it’s always something really interesting

#like him with poetry and his way of speaking reflecting that sense of art #which goes in line with the time period hes from #are just things I would’ve never known without seeing peoples analysis on it 😭 #it’s sad bc it DOES improve how I think of his character and who he is #I’m not even a big sukuna fan tbh he’s just not a villain I gravitate to #but every time I see this extra stuff on his personality it adds so much more depth. and less of a generic overpowered villain #sukuna #jjk spoilers
