#what actually happened in truth

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

sometimes I think I don't have many thoughts or feelings about Ema, but then I think about her returning from Europe after her studies, failing to get the job she's dedicated her life to since she was a teenager, finding out that the man who saved both her and her sister got disbarred for submitting false evidence, being assigned to the prosecutor who got him disbarred, and running to find him only to be greeted by this slippery, silent stranger who won't talk about what he did or what really happened, and who's behaving just like her sister did for years, and I think about how powerless she is to help him because he won't let her, because he won't trust her, just as Lana hadn't for so much of her life, and how he should know better than to do that to her, but he doesn't or maybe he just doesn't care, and I think about Ema who came back full of hope and conviction only for that all to turn to dust in her hands in a matter of days, and I realise I do think about her a lot actually.

#ema skye #just. the women. in these games. they're so good but they get put through so much. #ace attorney #phoenix wright #beanix #ace attorney apollo justice #ema who reminded phoenix so much of maya he had to help her. that same ema going back to him except now she isnt maya and phoenix is lana #and ema is just little ema skye. the girl whom no one will speak to or trust with the truth so she might as well give up #i know people are like oh no she gave him the pin and snackoos they were in touch like. she didnt know he had a daughter. #lana skye #she's technically here too in spirit #wonder what happened to lana actually. she should be out by the time ema comes back

Remembrance and Forgetfulness

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #I originally debated whether or not to have lwj in the first panel because the implications #that wwx spawned a bunch of kids and lwj assumes its from whatever the hell happened last night #is a bit buckwild. but the more I think about it that actually one of the funniest jokes I could accidently make. So it stays #I don't think wwx and lwj would thrive with their own children but they would be very good mentors #The cool uncles if you will. They let you have some fun. Unlike JC who is the uncle that thinks your parenting is too soft. #Speaking of chilren...my *god* the extra with wwx playing with the kids is *so good* #probably my favourite so far. I keep going back to relisten to it #The kids!!! The mini versions of conflicts between them that mirror the truth yet are distorted by rumours!! #Mwah - Chef's kiss. Go listen to S1 Extra ''Director''. #“op what about the second panel?” Fine. WWX is alternating between noodling around and remixing wangxian. #lwj is experiencing the non-flutist jealousy of having an instrument that is not easily played as you walk. The most painful jealousy.

People often bring up the omake No Respect Time to use as Crocodad Propaganda, and y'know, I think there might be just a smidge more the omake can provide to Crocodad than what people have already discussed in the past

Like everyone's seen the comparisons between Crocodile and the anime screencaps of Don Luffyone, we all know how the two look so similar etc etc. But honestly, the resemblance is even more obvious (and hilarious) when you look at the OG manga version (Sidenote but Don Luffyone is the only one who smokes cigars in the omake... Everyone else has plain ol' cigarettes... That sure was a decision there Oda)

And yeah, you might be thinking I picked this mangacap of Crocodile in particular because the resemblance is the most obvious here and I have My Crocodad Agenda to push etc etc. But I will have you know that the original omake was from Log Book 5, which was published February 28th 2006. Meanwhile that Crocodile is from the cover of chapter 398, published February 6th 2006. So these were drawn by Oda around the same time. I didn't just cherry pick this cover page because it's convenient for my evil agenda, if these were drawn around the same time then the likelihood the resemblance is intentional does legitimately go up a little. (Also since they're both drawn by Oda instead of random animators, again, it's a bit less coincidental and could be a bit more intentional)

But as I said, I think there might be more to the omake than that.

In the past people have also pointed out and joked how a mere few months before Oda revealed Dragon was Luffy's father to us in the story (post-Enies Lobby), in the Monster Time-omake Luffy was depicted as a dragon.

Needless to say, people believe this was intentional foreshadowing (/trolling) to the Dragon reveal by Oda-- if not it'd be one hell of a coincidence at the very least.

The reason I'm bringing that up is that if people think it's safe to assume Oda was hinting at Luffy's heritage in one omake by making him a dragon like his father, then why couldn't Oda do the same in another omake (by making Luffy a mafia boss who smokes cigars like his father)? Keep in mind that Monster Time was published in May 2006 (in Log Book 7), just three months after No Respect Time. So again, these are from the same era. To me, that just makes the resemblance between Don Luffyone and Crocodile seem even less coincidental

Oh, but there's one more omake I want to bring up.

So people do often bring up Nerd!Luffy's appearance in One Piece Gakuen spin-off manga, pointing out how much he looks quite a lot like the Theoretical Child Oda gave to Crocodile in that one SBS. Yeah. So. 'Bout that.

There was this one omake called Red Hair of Class 3-Sea Time, in which Luffy was a loser ass nerd. And man, that resemblance

Like it's one thing when a spin-off manga drawn by a different artist does A Thing. It's another when Oda himself does it

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Crocodad #Sir Crocodile #3rd Year Class is from 2007. Can't remember what year the SBS Child is from but I'm guessing long after 2013?? #Point is that I would considder the Theoretical Child the weakest piece of Crocodad Propaganda #Also just to re-iterate: even if Crocodile wasn't Luffy's other dad I'm sure Oda knows who Luffy's other parent is and what happened to 'em #Like it doesn't matter if it was some random chick who fell down the stairs or was kidnapped or whatever #It doesn't matter if Luffy's other parent is relevant to the story or not; I'm sure Oda knows The Truth himself #But also Crocodile's always been relevant in the story around the same time the rest of Luffy's other family is relevant to the story #You know what I might actually save these thoughts for a separate post hold on #POINT IS THAT THE FACT THAT THE TWO OMAKE ARE FROM THE SAME TIME #AS WELL AS THE TIME WHEN DRAGON AND GARP WERE REVEALED TO BE RELATED TO LUFFY #THAT'S A SUS COINCIDENCE. THAT'S THE POINT

hear me out: divorce ceremonies. divorce cake and divorce outfits. toasts to the uncouple spoken by the Worst Man and Maid of Dishonor (gender neutral). separate piles of gifts for the freshly parted, stuff like nice sheets and Target giftcards and cookbooks. marriage gets to have all this ritual attached to it and by god divorce deserves some of that action

#this would only work for people who are actually planning to be friends or at least neutral following their separation #but like cmon how fuckin funny and cathartic would this be. i would go to a divorce ceremony. fuck i would throw one #something something humor is what gets you through the dark times #something something humor is the reason why court jesters could speak truth to power #why get torn up about your ex when you can throw one last good time party with them where y'all get the closure you need #surrounded by loved ones who support you on your parting of ways #like isn't that sorta beautiful? and awkward as all hell #im not kidding i really think this could be cool. but yeah both members of the uncouple would have to be down with it #if you get it you get it. if you dont then its fine just get divorced the normal way with minimal fanfare (ideally) #divorce #snowswords #i am once again divorceposting #it will happen again

heterophobic nanami real

[ID: two screenshots from 'revolutionary girl utena' of nanami and touga standing in the rose garden. nanami imploringly clings to touga, who stands stiffly with his face obscured from the audience. in the first screenshot, nanami says: 'i know i have to accept that you go out with girls.'

in the second screenshot, nanami continues: 'but don't go out with a girl like her!' /end ID]

#this is one of my favourite scenes for 100000 reasons but i make this joke about this line every time and its tenuous/kinda unfunny at best #but im posting it anyway bc it makes me giggle. its how i cope ok #NORMAL :)))) SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM :))))))))) #i actually think this is probably the closest they ever get to having a meaningful conversation outside of the car scene #which. Hm. to say the least #idk there r so many lies and misperceptions going on in this one but there are REAL core truths to be picked out from it #and i dont think either of them note any of them but you know. what did i expect. car scene happens later after all #swagever im soooooooo normal about them forever and always #i just enjoy thinking about nanami as an avid romance hater esp straight romance (romance repulsed aro over here) #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #shut up daisy

I feel like we dont talk about one of the main reasons nico was ostracized at camp, not just because hes a son of hades.

Camp half blood is small enough so that rumors and information spread fast, but that doesn't mean they are always right. So imagine you're a random camper, and you're told nico, one of the new campers, gets in a big fight with Percy. During which he makes skeletons appear and somehow opens a huge crack in the floor. But percy wins and nico leaves camp.

Don't you think it would've rang a bell?

Don't you think it would've reminded them too much of two summers ago, with luke?

Dont you think everyone would've been even more scared, because now they know nico is a child of hades, one of the big three, and therefore very powerful?

There must have been so many rumors that summer of nico being part of the kronos army. Betraying camp just like luke did.

Of course after the battle of manhattan many people would've changed their minds. Hes in their side now, after all. But there are probably still many campers who think nico left them to join luke, before he changed their mind and helped them win against luke and kronos. People who still hold a grudge against him for joining the "enemy".

#i havent read the battle of the labyrinth in a while so aorry if this gets cleared up by then #ive never really seen anyone talk about this #nico being a son of hades cant be the only reason hes not well liked by camp #of course hes just emo and traumatized and thinks everyone hates him when they dont but i dont think he was exactly popular at camp #and also this has been in my mind for a few days #i just love nico hes so sad and traumatized #my poor little guy #he got misjudged by so many people for a out of context rumor that got changed and twisted as it spread #obviously at first percy told the truth to chiron and annabeth andnother people who came to ask “yo what happened with the new kid” #(will definitely asked him) (he met nico in the infirmary and had a crush on him since) #i mean everyone must have been curious as to why the floor of the dining pavillion was all broken #but as rumors do it just turned into a broken telephone situation where the story got more and more dramatic #if you asked some (very exaggerated)people they would tell you he tried to kill percy and he was actually sent by luke to camp #percy jackson #pjo #camp half blood #heroes of olympus #nico di angelo #solangelo #pjo headcanon #percy series

every time something from Neil Gaiman's tumblr crosses my dash I'm so concerned about the people writing and to him like. why have you outsourced your imagination to this man? asking shit like 'what does Morpheus sound like in this scene' or 'what does this dialogue mean' or 'what's the backstory to this moment' like BABES. THIS IS WHAT BARTHES WAS TALKING ABOUT. YOU'RE MEANT TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS YOURSELVES THAT'S WHAT MAKES ALL ART A COLLABORATIVE CREATION OF MEANING. if the author wanted something to be explicit in the text they can make it explicit in the text and if it's not explicit in the text YOU CAN MAKE IT UP.

what really gets me is I 100% prommy these kids regularly use 'death of the author' to mean 'i can enjoy works by problematic creators' which 1) yes I agree you can and should (using some discretion re who it profits and what's replicated in the work) but 2) THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS LITERALLY WHAT IT MEANS IS. NEIL GAIMAN'S POST HOC OPINION ON SANDMAN OR GOOD OMENS IS A NO MORE LEGITIMATE FACT ABOUT THE TEXT THAN ANYONE ELSE'S INTERPRETATION. the text has left his control it belongs to the reader now, you get to decide and debate what it means.

#red said #i know i keep making posts like this but IT KEEPS HAPPENING #like you are not toddlers you do not need daddy to hold your hand and walk you through the story #if you're mature enough to meaningfully engage with a story for adults then you are mature enough to interpret it for yourself #and to understand that ambiguity or vagueness or an invitation to imagination are features of storytelling not bugs #hmmm actually I'm gonna tag this #neil gaiman #sandman #good omens #bc. some of you people need jesus or more relevantly literary and critical agency #like you understand that a story isn't a partial view into a reality that's as 3d as our own right? #the play doesn't carry on backstage #you're not MISSING OUT on a fundamental truth of the fictional world that's obscured by the shape of the story it ONLY exists in the story #you're SUPPOSED to construct the context and detail out of the clues you're given in the text and build your own world #and draw your own conclusions #it's not a Real World That Only Neil Gaiman Can See Into it's a STORY he wrote SPECIFICALLY TO INVITE YOU TO IMAGINE #like it's YOURS. YOU'RE meant to fill in the gaps. ART IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE TEXT AND THE READER. #THAT'S what death of the author relates to #what part if any the author has in that other than what they put in the text

"character who values honesty ending up lying to those he cares about because he's queer in the eighties" will always be a better story than "character never lying not even once because he hates lying" to me

#well done everyone. i like it #this is a draft from late november from when i said will and el lied to mike too what happened to supporting gay wrongs i was like okay #i'll wait a bit. this is enough waiting i feel like #i actually changed the wording so some of my tags that were really good had to go unfortunately #i like mike when he's not the only character who gets to not lie in the everyone lies to everyone season #i don't think anyone likes lying. he's not special #like no matter how you look at it. his ass is not being truthful😩😩😭✋ #him being so adamant that he loves el (romantically) in his monologue is well. a lie lmao #byler

scully whispering “oh my god” in paper hearts when roche tells mulder that he just wants to see his face when he finds samantha’s body is one of the most affective small moments of the series. scully so rarely lets anything slip, so rarely speaks from a place of emotion rather than rationality, so rarely doesn’t have her words carefully chosen when she does.

but it’s just SO CRUEL!!! it’s just so cruel. and all mulder can do is sit there silently. it’s scully that jumps up and screams. i love the way she goes over to the door and just opens it and stands there, waits firmly for mulder to quietly follow her. she just gets him out of there without directing a single word towards him.

#ahab and starbuck episode #txf.txt #paper hearts #it’s so hard to be starbuck. there is so much grief in chasing ghosts #like trish was saying earlier this episode is HARD on scully. it’s the most haunted that mulder ever is. #it’s the Biggest reminder of what they’re Actually doing #they are NOT just chasing little green men and having adventures and studying sewer worms #they’re trying to make sense out of something that will never make sense. they’re trying to find ‘truth’ that they don’t want to know. #they’re living their lives in mourning of a missing little girl and scully is terrified they’ll find her #and that it will be just like roche threatens. and there is no one there but her #there is no one there but her that even CARES how haunted he is and how deeply stuck and lost and SAD it is #it’s all the little things like her ‘you did good work mulder’ and the way she asks if he’s okay to go tell the dead little girl’s family #‘paper hearts’ is them living out scully’s fear. what she thinks happened. what she’s afraid he’ll find someday.

i can't believe mafudad is kinda based

i mean he's better than his wife for sure but i wouldn't go that far

#even though he's able to recognise what's right for mafuyu and is letting her stay with kanade (and even giving her money to support her) #he was still complicit in her abuse and is defending his wife (i know he's oblivious to the truth of what happened bc he wasn't there and #mrs asahina was the one who filled him in. and knowing her she probably lied. ok she definitely lied considering he believes she's just #doing what she thinks is best for mafuyu) and as long as he keeps doing then it's not going to help things get better. #but yknow. at least he actually realises that he wasn't that great of a parent and is actually trying to do better. #baby steps #asks #mod talks

I've read some fics with Dick being rescued from Tarantula (usually by Jason) and he usually kills her... And it always bothers me that we never get Dick's reaction to that ? Or that he is okay with it at all ?

Yes, Dick was sexually assaulted by her in the comics but it's not the only thing that happens to him in this arc.. Specifically the reason he is there on the roof, having a panic attack/being in shock is because he finally broke and made the choice (in an extremely compromising emotional state, pushed to that point by blockbuster) to let someone else kill Blockbuster, How do we think he would feel if someone did the exact same thing for him not even five minutes later ?

I'm not saying, you the reader, can't want her gone or whatever,I'm saying Dick, as in the character specifically would not want her dead and he would not be okay with someone else killing her for him either and he is already robbed of his agency by her, shouldn't he get that agency back when it comes to dealing with her ?

#i also have an issue with fics where Dick is forced by spells/truth serum/whatever else to tell the rest of the batfam what happened instead #of getting him to the point where he makes the choice to tell them #tw: sa #tw: r*pe #trigger warnings: rape #dick grayson #dc comics #nightwing #jason todd #batman #if you are going to talk about sa even in fiction you need to actually give the agency back to the victim of said sa
