#two will rise in their place

[ride-thedragon]

Again, with me being controversial, I don't like Daemon as an individual. He's a weird weird man, and I don't like him when he's around my girls. But he is around all my girls and is responsible for creating two. He's an interesting character, unfortunately, tied to every woman in the dance

I do see that he's George's favorite, just in the masterful way his character is written. That doesn't make him mine, though.

That being said, because his last days are spent with my baby girl Nettles, I've spent a lot of time just experiencing his character through my love for all these women and I'll say it, I think Daemon finds a peace with Nettles.

Not in like the Taylor Swift song way more so Like a Tattoo by Sade.

He's lived a long life and has aided in many atrocities, done really bad things and has lost a lot.

The entire premise for the song is a war vet confiding in someone after holding on to it for years. I think that's a really cool way to interpret them.

There is a comfort to be found in each other at this time and they find it.

They were both grieving big losses and sent away with only each other as company and reinforcements, anticipating each day as the day they'd find and fight Aemond.

Daemon is 50 years old, and that's a really long time to be alive with that constant idea becoming your everyday life, especially at the time.

For better or for worse, he gets really close to this young lady, who is going through the things he's gone through a hundred times already for the first time.

He does what he can to make her life better, and in true Daemon fashion, it becomes sexual or extremely sensual. (If someone washed my hair and back, naked with me , I'd be convinced I was in a Whitney Huston video)

I think when he sees the letter, he's realized that he's put another person he cares about in danger that can cost them their life. And with his best decision, he sends her away at the cost of everyone but her, including himself.

When he goes to fight Vhagar, it's constantly acknowledged that it's a death wish he's signing and he does it anyway.

I think the idea that he does it for Rhaenyra is misguided, the idea he does it for Nettles as well. His decision is entirely selfish and guided by the fact that he's lived too long in his own words.

The idea that his last decision is a pledge of his undying love for someone is regressive and not the type of man he's shown to be.

He's tired, old, and at peace and takes the last pillar from before the conquest with him ending an era for Targaryens.

So all this to say shout out to Mr. Solitary Creature and Little Miss Men adore me wherever I go.

Are the teetles flipping the bird in your artworks?

they're doing their best with tridactyl (three fingered) hands, but donnie is the only one with a canonical example of how he might flip one off

love that he can just switch out extra extremities at will

[ cw: technical child endangerment / ]

Y’know every time I see the turtle tots playing with their original weapons I’m always flabbergasted that Splinter let Leo have a literal sword as a small child.

And then left him unsupervised with it.

Like, at least the others had blunt weapons (though still dangerous in their own right, especially Raph’s blunt tipped sais) but Leo’s katana are so easily lethal that it’s a miracle he seemed to be a natural with them. Because, if he wasn’t a natural then…oof.

It’s at least a good thing he only got one sword at first and not his usual two. Splinter would’ve needed to count his lucky days because OOF.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #child endangerment / #splinter is not a bad dad but man needs to realize that sometimes it’s better to start with bamboo practice swords #even if the actual blades are more true to the Hamato clan #it’s a good thing they’re so durable! Leo could have easily hurt himself or others with ONE sword let alone two #and we don’t know when exactly the second sword came into the picture I don’t think #could have gotten the second soon after oof #injury mention / #imagine an au where Leo’s a natural at PORTALS and TELEPORTATION but has a steeeeeeep learning curve for swords #or like imagine him being wary about using swords after that turtle tot short because he fell on them when Donnie crashed into him #nothing says I think I’ll stick with kunai like almost having your throat slit with your own sword! #or any injury because again DANGEROUS to any place not a shell (and even then) #honestly I think about how Leo is almost always the main one to get an explicitly lethal weapon a lot

actually i do have something to say about this chapter and it's quite critical of it but also i'm tired tonight and i've been talking about it long and hard on discord already and putting it all together in a coherent post feels like too much of a task tonight. all i'm gonna say is that part 2 was very obviously going in a certain direction from the start, and i loved that direction, and to an extent it is still going in that direction but now very obviously missing a huge chunk of what stirred it in that direction. and i'm hesitant to simply say it's fujimoto that's dropped the ball on this (though it might the idealization, who's to say) because from the actual shape of the writing + slump in paneling/art + recent bitter interview by fujimoto + japanese audience is apparently vocally not a fan of asa + my own cursed knowledge of shounen jump and shueisha editors and how they react to a fall in sales = i think the lack of focus on asa has really hurt the themes of part 2 when she was an integral part of it + i think this wasn't entirely fujimoto's doing and it's very likely because she is apparently strongly disliked in japan and there's good reason to believe that fujimoto was told to not focus on her nearly as much bc sales slump and people complain as soon as she shows up. which sucks. becaue what made part 2 work as well as it did was the synergy and parallel between the two protagonists' paths, and the absence of asa's path in the past few months (both in universe and by real time in the comic) feels like a genuine writing and thematic and emotional hole in the comic that to me shows that she WAS supposed to be there. fujimoto had fully intended to write her in there bc there's a hole in the shape of her where she is very obviously supposed to fit. it isn't simply a question of "author forgets his female character" it's a question of "this crucial part of the manga is missing and the author is painfully aware of it and bitter about it too"

#eli talks #csm #this is still not coherent i'll make a more coherent version at one point. #anyhow this still worked for me even during the denji megafocus #bc it felt like the boomerang was gonna return and asa was gonna be back in her place #and we were gonna see the counterbalance to denji's focus #her own rise to fame and emotions during this and growth with yoru #her absorption into the church and its horrors; the love bombing and adulation she finally got #the emotions about chainsaw man as a character and growing more reliant on yoru #the bitter and dramatic fall and its immediate aftermath; reacting to losing her arm #instead we get a character who until now had been an intensely emotion-driven and passive character IMMEDIATELY thrust into action #and given v little insight into her thoughts and interiority #something is missing! #it's not like fujimoto had nothing planned for her. she was written so intently and well #and suddenly it's like she dropped out of existence #and suddenly the paneling got worse and the art got worse and the hiatuses worse #and we get an interview from fjmt where he talks bitterly about commercial expectations interfering with artistic intentions #and how he wishes he didn't have to draw aymore #a guy who talked about how he was obsessed with drawing! #idk maybe it's idealization but i feel like it's not hard to put two and two together here

one of the best due south bits is definitely every time someone with a higher rank or from a different department shows up at the station and fraser, kowalski and welsh act like little shits. they’re also always in some weird situation

#it happened in odds with those two guys that talked and behaved synchronized ajsldjdkd #and in mojo rising with some other guys like fraser was trying to locate dief and kowalski had gotten his car stolen #and welsh was just trying to keep the place in order ajsldjd #and it happened in seeing is believing. and idk probably it happened more ahdjksjdf #due south #txt

okay question

a boring question but a question nonetheless

if you could have any superpower which one would you want?

personally i’d like dr strange’s power - the one where he can conjure his spirit or something and study or do stuff while his body is resting and sleeping

#this is me telling you that i need to sleep and there are not enough hours in the day to study and live my life #now i was also thinking like afo from bnha like the stealing powers thing #but that only works if you actually manage to find the power that you need #if you live in a world without powers then you’re basically powerless #wait wasn’t that the entire plot in the first place #anyways #i think in our world we would end up more like 9 from the movie #what’s it called? two heroes? heroes rising? #but basically there would be a drawback to having so many powers and you’d have to look for all of them and it would be so hard #i just like my dr strange idea it suits me #also the first time i saw it in the movie i was like OH MY GOD I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT #me :)

I realized I’ve literally never drawn Nick before so I did a quick sketch of him. I also did a sketch of Frank West, as well as Mickey and Dylan hanging out :3

Day Nine: Favorite villain. Why must art block hit on the day I was looking forward to the most :'(

Honestly this was a hard pick as I love a lot of the villains from rise. The krang for the horror they can bring, Hypo and Warren are just fun, but I decided to go with Draxum (a fav character of mine) and Big Mama.

[id: a digial illustration. A bust shot of Draxum and Big Mama in her human form. Draxum is facing left, he is frowning and looking to the right. Big Mama is facing right, she is smiling with a hand raise to her face and looking to the left. Both are coloured with various blues with a red pink coloured light on them coming from below. The background is black with a pink web behind Big mama's head and vines behind Draxum's. At the bottom of the image is the word Villains in pink text. /end id]

[its-wabby-stuff]

I love your 'Krang Will Rise post'! How secure do you think is the Prison Dimension?

Oh hi, another ask. Im glad people are taking a liking to my post. It makes me very happy.

Blatant terms: probably the most secure prison ever. It was designed to hold the worlds most powerful destructive beings. The Krang were inside with all their technology and species and still couldn’t find a way out so much that almost all of them died in there. They were in there for literally one thousand years, and they couldn’t find one single way out.

I do like to believe the prison dimension wasn’t just accessed, like it didn’t previously exist before those mystic warriors beat the krang the first time. I think they designed it for the purpose of holding the krang. Credit to their power for literally creating a dimension to hold an advanced alien species in.

But since something can’t come from nothing, I think the key they made had a deep connection to the dimension as a sort of access point, if not being the dimension itself. Maybe if April and Splinter had found a way to break the key it would have collided the dimensions, or caused a black hole by the sheer power it possesses.

Considering its massive amounts of mystic energy, Mikey being able to open a portal into it without the use of a key may emphasis the absolute crazy level of natural power he has. Or it’s possible, they (being the Hamato) have a mystic connection to the mystic users who created the key. Given the color matching the four seemed to have resembling our lovable turtles, this may have already been implied in the show.

I mean Karai had to get her incredible mystics from somewhere, and she never explains where she got it from just that she awakened it. Since Shredder himself doesn’t really have mystics, since he’s always getting other peoples, I imagine she got these abilities for her mothers side. Karai and Oroku have different surnames, so it’s possible the Hamato family name Karai inherited was from her mother. Daughter of one of the mystic warriors.
