political opinion: fingers should have more joints

#not my only political opinion but. currently. my most FERVENT one #ok 2nd most fervent. actual most fervent is VOTE IN THE FUCKIN MIDTERMS U FUCKER MC FUCKENING FUCKERIST #anyway. ahem. fingers. more joints. self explanatory. #(also mostly unrelated but. when i was in. .. middle school maybe? there was a period of time where i fully believed 'Fervent' referred to #a species or genus or other grouping of mammal which included ferrets #like how Crows are a member of the Corvid family? yeah i thought Ferrets were a member of the Fervents #not my proudest moment yet i find myself oddly and ferociously proud #) #((no wait wait wait wait wait wait. FEREVENTLY proud)) #(((also until relatively recently i thought it was spelled Fervant but we don't need to talk about that)))

Mermay Special Prompt 1

Selkie Batfam? Selkie Batfam. But make it Liminal. 

See, none of them were exactly born as such. In fact? It’s technically a side effect of Lazarus waters and extreme ecto-contamination. Does this also mean selkie Al Ghuls? Yeah, technically. Though with how part of their mission includes protecting endangered species, they definitely use it to their advantage. 

Now, how did the batfam become so ecto-contaminated? Well how could they not? Lazarus pools in the Caves, corrupted artifacts, quite literally dying, dimension traveling and the many, many timeline shifts that seem to affect them specifically at times? 

Yeah, they’re all now… technically human in the fact that that’s the form they take. I mean, who doesn’t have a bit of eye-shine and fangs in Gotham? They just don’t really take seal form outside the manor because well, er, it’s a little embarrassing. Because their seal forms? 

Might be well, kind of tiny. So their friend might erm, not exactly know how much their respective bat is silently trusting them when they give them their coat to watch over. 

#Prompts #DCxDP #DPxDC #Lazarus Waters are the equivalents of lakes while the Realms is the oceans #Halfas are huge in seal form #Liminals are tiny #Selkie Batfam #Bruce is exasperated- he’s like a leopard seal he should be huge but he’s Not #They’re all baby sized because their Cores haven’t formed fully until they fully die permanently #But just for a moment think about the utter Trust that giving someone their skin is #Like they think it’s obvious how much they trust their friends/teammates #But they never say it #Which could lead to some miscommunication or misunderstandings #halfa jason todd #Why yes this does mean he's bigger than everyone else in the family

Sorry if you've gone over this before but I was curious as to what you'd think it would take for Leo to finally break in front of his brothers?

We’ve actually seen Leo break his persona multiple times throughout the series! And pretty much each and every time has a common theme present: his family being in danger.

#non au ask #probably the biggest break he has is immediately after Raph protects him from the Krang and forces him to leave Raph behind #not once in the series has Leo shown a greater horror than the moment he’s out of the pod knowing Raph was left behind #and he makes that break KNOWN #he shovels it down again soon enough but yeah #also noteworthy is his reaction to losing Gram Gram #and(less of a sad break but a still a break of his lackadaisical persona) when he IMMEDIATELY gets serious when Raph’s missing in the sewer #actually I think of Leo being serious about Raph missing in the sewers a lot #luckily (or not lol) for his mask these breaks happen mostly when everyone else is ALSO freaking out #so more focus is put on to the entire situation than simply Leo’s reaction to it #but yeah Leo loves his family SO MUCH so of course they’re consistently his breaking point #tbh tho all of them share that breaking point #cannot BELIEVE I didn’t mention it but his ‘I’m nothing without them’ speech ALSO HAPPENS WHEN HE THINKS HIS BROS ARE IN DANGER #it’s all fun and games until plot armor loses its durability!

[zeb-z]

Foolish going in with two totems as a part-totem who never, never uses totems. His screams for Leo as the ceiling caves in, trying desperately to throw her a totem through the barrier. Digging, trying to glitch, trying to problem solve in a situation so chaotic and so impossible, there’s just nothing he can do. Not leaving until his totem pops - until he can’t see Leo anymore. Repeating to himself that she was right there, just right there, he couldn’t even get her a totem, he couldn’t do anything.

Foolish staying behind to make sure Tina and Mouse get out, to make sure he sticks with Cellbit, telling himself he can feel it later, as long as they survive, he can feel it later - and running out of time. If he hadn’t stayed behind digging for Leo, he would have made it. If he hadn’t given all but one of his enderpearls to the others, he would have made it. If he wasn’t looking over his shoulder for Cellbit, he would have made it.

#I NEVER want to hear he doesn’t care about his family about Leo EVER AGAIN #his screams for Leo are going to haunt me for fucking ever #and that moment when someone dropped an apple and he thought for a second it was her hat and he started panicking I cannot take it #dude just everyone digging for the kids until they couldn’t see them dying to the falling ceiling #baghera staying behind. apologizing to red for it #max going out with his bomb going back to trumpet once and for all #Phil tearing his wings to get Tubbo to safety #I’m just. I’m at a loss. fuck this man #at least team bolas won phohodkghjsjdkskfhshfjfngj #mcyt #qsmp #qsmp purgatory #q!foolish #z speaks

one pet peeve of mine in founders-era fanfics is when madara's whole,,,, everything is solved by izuna just being there

like maybe this is just me, but i don't think izuna surviving or even coming around to the idea of a truce with the senju would've been enough to keep madara from the path he ended up on.

izuna wasn't the reason he left - he was definitely part of madara's issues, but he wasn't the why. even if izuna had stuck around, and even if that had been enough to keep the uchiha clan from losing their faith in madara, i think he would've still come to realize konoha wasn't what he'd hoped it would be.

best case scenario, i think izuna's survival might've caused madara to stick around a bit longer, but i don't think it would've lasted. honestly, even then, that might've just made the inevitable break-up between madara and hashirama even more agonizing (particularly for izuna)

it's a fun idea to play around with for sure, but frankly i don't think canon!madara could've ever been 'saved' from that path. certainly not if the hidden village system ended up getting set up in the same way.

#naruto #naruto shippuden #meta #uchiha madara #uchiha izuna #senju hashirama #from the moment madara was born into that world he was doomed to walk that path i think #most fics that have izuna live and madara still leave that i've seen keep izuna's death as the catalyst. but moved down a bit #which i understand #but imo it'd be more interesting to explore how izuna would feel about his brother's choice #bc as much as people like to view izuna as like a super big bro supporter. he really REALLY isn't #his loyalty is to the uchiha clan #we're explicitly shown that if forced to pick between the clan's interests and madara's dream izuna will pick the clan #both as a kid when he and tajima fought tobirama and butsuma #and as an adult when he used his last words (or the last words hashirama ever heard from him) to further that divide #the clan chose konoha over madara. and i think izuna - as against the idea as he was to begin with - would've also #not bc he doesn't love his brother. bc his loyalty is and always will be to the uchiha clan #hell madara was the same until he was physically forced to stop #first by hashirama trying to use his own life as a bid for peace between their families #and later by the uchiha clan's rejection of madara himself #madara is like. if the doomed hero trope was the antagonist #having said all of that zetsu was never going to let izuna live bc he needed madara to get the eternal mangekyou sharingan #and izuna was the only one of his siblings who lived long enough to see him get the regular sharingan. so it had to be him #but like i said even if that weren't the case it wouldn't have mattered #madara believed that the end - the world of dreams - would justify the means. if izuna hadn't given up his eyes freely... #well. it's not like people didn't end up thinking madara had taken them anyway #i don't think even naruto could've saved madara really #the only thing anyone could've saved him from was dying alone #which is what would've happened if everyone except him was in the infinite tsukuyomi when kaguya came back #and honestly even tho all three of his deaths had other people there (hashirama then obito then hashirama again)

sure i COULD ramble about how ai is one of the multiple things that check all the marks of humanity's seven deadly sins but would that be extreme

^^^ possibly insufficiently educated

#the pride the hubris of believing you can do better than innovation and nature by playing god and not in the fun way #the lust it's being used for in so many awful cases #the sloth the way its encouraging everyone to check original sources less before believing anything. Also to not take time to develop skill #the greed its being used for profit without consideration for ethics or fair labour #gluttony. we always have to be faster. shinier. better. no matter if it ends up being less convenient or wonky #the wrath it sows in between people creating more differences to be frustrated over. more hatred #the envy how it takes and takes. always trying to be as clever as the best humans. as beautiful as a real forest or sunset. #do you think the ai wants itself #if this were a scifi movie would we be the bad guys #but this is not a movie and the ai cannot love us. so we cannot love it. and there's that #my post #personal stuff #thinking aloud just silly yapping n jazz 没啥事做就这样咯~ #(￣▽￣)~* #when i was in primary school our textbooks for chinese had short stories and articles to learn about #there was a fictional scifi oneshot about a family in the future going to the zoo #the scifi zoo trip was going great until the zoo's systems went offline for a moment #and it was revealed that all the animals roaming in their enclosures were holograms #the real ones went extinct ages ago #when the computers came back online the holograms returned and there they were #honestly at first I thought it was a bit exaggerating #but I still think about it once in a while

#espio’s seconds away from having an absolute Moment because 1. his boyfriend plans on marrying him #2. people see him and charmy as brothers and charmy himself seems to agree #and 3. his brother likes silver enough to be happy with him becoming a member of their family #which espio didn’t think he cared about until the moment he got confirmation charmy ‘approves’ #espilver #espio the chameleon #silver the hedgehog #charmy bee

Arakáno | the high chieftain

Day 2: Exile - Arrival to Beleriand | Fingon | Argon | Elenwë for @nolofinweanweek

#nolofinweanweek #nolofinweanweek2023 #the silmarillion #argon #arakano #my art #tolkien art #he’s a fascinating character all the more for how little tolkien actually wrote about him #since he seems to exist just to die #but he was noted as the tallest of the siblings and a fierce warrior and then died practically the moment he stepped foot in beleriand #there’s an au in my brain that he leaves mandos and with all of his family gone he ends up bonding with his cousin’s ex #and slowly falling for her #and perhaps amarie feels the same #finrod willingly left her behind and she knows she’s not going to get him back until he dies #perhaps it’s time for her to move on as well

Speaking of said dad, he went on a lil mini 10 day holiday across the country to Perth to sight see nature and go on a boat ride to see some Orcas (he's retired, it's his way of getting out the house and not turning into an old man potato, and comes back with hundreds of photos of landscapes, plants and flowers and points of historical interests to show my Mum and I, with cool facts and stories in a slideshow~)

Unfortunately i was still sick at the time and didn't get the chance to join my mum in dropping him off at the airport, let alone the chance to give him a big 'ol hug before he left- so I drew him this 💖

You can't escape the 'Ken hugs.

#fun fact I actually have mild OCD when it comes to hugs especially with family members #sometimes they have to deal with me hugging them many times over until its right #and if I don't hug them before they leave I get anxious as hell #it used to be to the point of panic attacks- my brain would tell me because I didn't hug them they will die before I see them again #and they would never know how much I love them #Family gatherings are a hug fest- my family and their partners know the moment I bust through the door I must run the circuit #everyone gets hugged and neither of us have a choice in the matter #at least it's hugs and not something else like turning on and off the lights a number or times or closing and opening doors or some such #sure hug OCD sounds nice but when it's been like 5 minutes and 15 hugs it's not fun for either party-it's better these days but it took wor #or running out the door to your sisters car because the hug wasn't right and they're about to drive off and if I don't catch them in time- #-I'd cry for hours feeling dread and anxiety down to my bones until i end up sick and in bed- that's not so nice #the brains a bitch

Cammy went on a trip for a month to meet up with old friends and told Harvey to do the same. So, Harvey had to fend for himself socially without his emotional support fairy and he realized, "Hey, I can do this. I don't need to have Camellia with me all the time to do these things I've been afraid to do....but I do *want* them here."

For Cammy's side, they realize that it's nice to have a home to keep coming back to. The fairy village used to be that, but Harvey's garden is their home now.

And yeah, I cry, what of it?

#its a canon event. but in the back of my mind it would also be the moment they realize how much they love each other #but thats between me and you #ill say this is harvey around 28 when the garden is more homie. hes on his feet now and has a clearer memory of old friends and family #so he would reconnect with cammy's push since cammy travels around alot and makes a lot of friends and tries to visit whenever possible #but cammy doesnt want to be his crutch forever. harvey CAN stand on his own. he was just afraid to take the first steps without em #he doesnt reconnect with his family eli and his parents until 29 ish. he has the means to do it but #there is a fear he cant describe that kept stopping him #cammy goes along with him for this. to meet eli and even fly to the philippines with him to finally see his parents again #THATS where the canonical ending of the narrative is. when his trip to the philippines is over and says his goodbyes #it ends when he says like 'i have a garden back home to take care of' credits roll #and then we have an open ending for all the fanfic writers to interpret and fight about #grow as we go #harvey #camellia #comic

#sorry im thinking abt death again #because it's weird to think that ive been in the room. maybe a meter away from someone as they died #that someone being my mom. its just weird. the time in the hospital feels like it happened in some dark little pocket universe detached from #time. a calm room and then the soft blips of a monitor then the nurse rushing in to say she'd passed #i dont kno y ppl use that phrase: passed on. i mean i do. it softens the topic. makes it sound peaceful. ive yet to use it. i just say she #died bc thats what happened. is that insensitive? i dunno. when i was home i realized that i come off as much stranger than i think. the way #my family see me doesnt fit how i see myself. i dont kno what to do with that. i dunno. theyre all together today #for an early easter. and im halfway across the country again. nose so stuffy ive had to mouth breathe for the last 3 days #and again. everything feels the same as it did before but also profoundly different. sometimes i cry in the mornings. or when i think abt #future vacations she wont be there for. bc in the end she quickly slipped away in a way that couldn't be described as peaceful until her #last half a day. and all i can think about in that tiny room is how scary it would be to lose control like that #and how its not fair and she didnt deserve to die only halfway through a lifetime. but its not about fair and its not about deserving. #sometimes bad things just happen. that's life. and now i own a book called motherless daughters. and now im standing with the countless #others who've lost their moms too early. ive already become aware of 3 ppl in my daily life who are in the same club #i keep thinking about this moment that happened between my parents at the hospital. apparently my dad was helping her get cleaned up and her #stomach was so bloated she looked like she had a bby in there. which my dad said. and my mom apparently said: but it's a baby no one want. i #dont kno y that upsets me so much. all the things i heard abt her being in the hospital before i got there upset me. and the rest of my #family was there to see it. so i have the least traumatic version of the story. and i got almost 27 years with her. except my sisters #probably got more time with her bc i spent so much time away. or maybe not. i dunno. #i dunno. im just sad that shes gone and sad that it was drawn out even a little bit. 6 days isnt long but im sure it felt like an eternity. #again not fair. nothings fair. 53 years of unfairness culminating in a tragedy. she would hate me characterizing it like that. she lived a #full life as they say. full with an asterisk on account of length #unrelated

Bi-Han when talking to his (story mode) allies who also are enemies of Kuai Liang

MORTAL KOMBAT 1 (2023)

Havik: Aid me and I'll destroy the Shirai Ryu. Bi-Han: That is *my* privelege, Havik.

Shao: If I *ever* see your brother --- Bi-Han: You won't unless you visit his grave.

Shang Tsung: Kuai Liang's betrayal cost us dearly. Bi-Han: He will bleed for it, sorcerer.

BONUS: Noob Saibot [Mortal Kombat 11 (2019)]

#mortal kombat #mortal kombat spoilers #bi han #sub zero #noob saibot #I think no fan of Lin Kuei is truly happy about the MK1's take on Bi-Han and Kuai Liang's strained relationship #without givings us first some good brotherhood moments to root for #but i like the creators at least keep bi han's remarks about dealing with brother as an ambiguous rather than straight up I will kill him #as his specific choice of words reminds me a lot about Noob Saibot #who did not have any problem with admiting kuai liang is his brother to people who in general were on good terms with kuai liang #but when asked by geras to bring kuai liang to kronika he was suddenly like what a brother sorry only dead are my family now #and i meant it #bi han has never once said he is gonna kill kuai liang (or smoke for that matter) #sub zero will say stuff about hurting kuai liang / shirai ryu to brother's face or kuai liang's allies #sure #but so far only to shang tsung he said kuai is gonna bleed for betrayal (still being hurt/punished not killed) #while his replies to shao and havik are more ambiguous #like the one for shao - you will see my bother only if you visit his grave #there is no addition AFTER I WILL KILL HIM #more like you are not allowed to see kuai liang until he died #i like that there is some unsaid stuff one may read in various ways when it comes to Bi Han's family matters
