OH THAT'S HAIR MGHJKFMD OF COURSE. Idk why but I looked at it and 100% thought it was a creative depiction of what the user HUD looked like from the outside or something?? I honestly couldn't tell you why that's where my brain went first xD

[nostalgia-tblr]

nah sorry i've thought about it and odin's "raise lauffey's only biological son as my own = he inherits when laffey dies = jotunheim is mine now/it's free real estate" plan just wouldn't work. it's a shit plan.

sure you can say your younger son is now the king of jotunheim but how are gonna get anyone there to accept that? even if he is now king by the letter of their law, how do you make that population accept his authority? the authority of someone who was raised by their enemy and who must be assumed to be loyal to that enemy. to borrow a phrase "you and whose army?" all you have there is a claim to that kingdom, you still need to make it happen.

whereas "found a baby, it's mine now, keeping forever with no expectation of this ever actually getting me anything else i just heart my new blue son (if ur offerin a 'free jotunheim with purchase' deal i wont say no tho obvs)" doesn't rely on outside events or anyone else's actions and so... it just makes more sense.

what i'm sayin is... i'm sure "ooooh this could be useful, i shall keep it" was a factor in odin's initial adopt-the-baby decision but i don't think it's at all reasonable for him to think it would actually work when the time came to deploy the plan and so no i don't think odin did just keep loki around for imperialism reasons, i think by the time that film is set he must have long since given up on that (other than a vague "well if it happens it happens" at the back of his head) and he really does just love his kid and hasn't told him where he actually came from in case it made him sad.

#mcu tag i guess #it's just too shit a plan to ever work #it relies on too many uncontrollable factors (and on a lot of missing worldbuilding. like A LOT.) #why is there assumed to be no other possible claimant? can't lauffey just name his own heir? #nobody minded the attempted infanticide so why would they just accept this same rejected candidate as an adult? #how do you even prove loki is that baby? “well you never saw the body and look this young man is blue and looks about the right age” #what you have there is Perkin Warbeck - maybe he is that baby maybe he isn't. needs an army either way. #with lauffey dead who on jotunheim has the authority to accept (and thus basically appoint) the new king? #and why isn't that person making their own attempt to rule the kingdom? #why does - LOOK IT JUST DOESNT WORK. i could never work. it's a rubbish plan! #actually EVEN IF odin think's it'll work he'd have to 100% believe in loki's loyalty to him and asgard. he must like that kid either way. #because imposing a puppet king who will inevitably rebel against you is somehow an EVEN WORSE plan than the other one #thor movies

Me after seeing Riyo Chuchi’s “what happens when you get too old to fight” comment, implying they need to think of their accelerated aging, still blatantly refusing to accept the clones-age-twice-as-fast thing as canon:

*sticks fingers in ears* la la la it’s not a genetically faster aging it’s an environmental treatment in a growth acceleration chamber, a treatment they have to be subjected to and now that kamino is gone they won’t be subjected to it anymore 99 was just an early prototype testing the chamber that’s why he’s old, i mean rex canonically a generation one clone how could 99 be older than a generation one clone it doesn’t make sense…. it’s a growth acceleration chamber and without regular treatment they age normally all those lil’ clone cadets will age normally rex will age normally he looks like That in Rebels bc of stress and stress alone they’ll all age normally it’s fine nothing bad will happen to them ever la la la i cannot hear you it’s fine they’re fine

#clone wars #star wars #the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #the clone conspiracy #truth and consequences #i know accelerated aging is canon and all #but WHERE do people get this idea that they age twice as fast?? #seriously where?? #the MECHANISM of age acceleration is never soecified #and hardcase makes a comment about his ‘growth acceleration’ chamber which implies it is a treatment they are subjected to!! #not a natural feature of their genetics! #seriously show me the source that says they age at a faster rate #why do all star wars fans assume rex is aging twice as fast as a normal human #not necessarily! like stress will age you; you know #shave the grey beard off and he doesn’t look that old does he #clone wars is 22 BBY so if we say he’s 20 at the start 20 + 22 by the battle of yavin = 42 #+ 4 years bc ROTJ is 4ABY #so 46 by my math #seems a reasonable number to me!! #if you go by the ‘they age twice as fast’ theory #going by that one star wars novelisation where ahsoka says ‘im not a child! im 14!’ and rex is like [tries not to laugh]: I’m 10! #then okay we have 10 years old in 22BBY. 13 in 19BBY. #13 + 19 = 32 + 4 years to get to 4ABY = 36 x 2 (for aging twice as fast) = 72 years old at the battle of endor #i don’t really think he looks 72 at the battle of endor!! #a battle-weary and hardened-by-life 46 yes but not 72! #rebels is 15 years after tcw #so 13 in 19BBY. 13 + 15 = 28 yo. x 2 for ‘aging twice as fast’ = #56 by the time he appears in rebels #from his first appearance

“There can only be room for one King.”

“Sure aint you, shithead.”

HAGH. OKAY OKAY YALL WANNA KNOW WHY I HAVENT BEEN POSTING AWHILE? ITS BC OF THIS (AND THESIS)

Ive been developing this arc for a few days.

Basically, Magolor finds a settlement of his race after decades of thinking that hes the last one. And its not the warm welcome it was hoping to be.

remember how the tech ancients and magic ancients split off from each other? Yeaaah… Mags was born in the tech faction and has been practicing and getting better with magic for an incredibly long time. With Halcandra gone, he grew in Popstar with no one really stopping him.

The Halcandrans (the ones in power anyway) in the Forgotten Land believe that magic is a disease that plagues their race, and a cure must be found. They look to tech to remove and replace that magic from them completely…but it would turn them into mindless husks, instead.

Mags hides a lot of himself while he stayed in this settlement. He missed being surrounded by his people. Hes adored. Hes admired. Captain of the legendary Lor Starcutter, an engineer of great renown. He knows he shouldnt be doing this, for if the truth of his magic practices were to slip, hed immediately be banished or killed…or worse.

Is it worth it to lie just to feel like he belongs with his people again?

#kirby #kirby fanart #magolor #kirby oc #From the Ashes #opal owl’s nest #WHY DOES MAGS END UP IN THESE SITUATIONS OVER AND OVER #HIM HAVING TO PROVE THAT HES WORTHY OF BEING ACCEPTED FOR WHO HE IS- #hes been looking for his people for ages and then what!!! #getting heartbroken bc he knows theyll never accept a magician into their society… #this feels a lot like the time he had to hide a lot or tone down his mischievous tendencies around Meta so hed like him #this man needs/deserves some unconditional love istg

These Mikey chapters lowkey getting to me..

#like why does it have to be so sad #but before that Omg the opening scene with Emma and Draken was so pure and cute #Emma I completely understand why you fell for draken he was literally perfect #because no really he was PERFECT - he grew up in less than favorable circumstances yet he never complained and had good manners and morals #even from a young age like if it wasn’t for him Mikey would’ve fallen into darkness sooner and had no morals #mitsuya would’ve been a shitty brother and hakkai would’ve never found the person to look up to AND taiju would’ve continued being an #abusive asshole - Draken had a ripple effect on the whole gang and I fucking HATE tht he was killed off #like again WHY I WILL NEVER BE HAPPY OR OK WITH HIM DYING #MY FUCKING FAVORITE UGH #but ugh fucking continuing on 😫 did y’all see how wakui is reinforcing how much he hates Sanzu? 💀 #he made it a point to have Mikey list Draken mitsuya pah Baji and kazutora as his greatest friends #and have him recruit them for Toman despite Sanzu being one of his childhood ‘friends’ AND him having him talk to him about it last chapter #why not have him in the original gang? 🤔 also the fact tht he will call mitsuya and kazutora his greatest friends but not Sanzu when he only #knew those two through Draken and Baji 🤷🏾‍♀️ #anyway I’m glad we got some clarity as to why Mikey was out at night at Shinichiro’s bike shop when he got killed like how convenient but #knowing shinichiro called him to come there so he could give him his present at midnight (I’m assuming) is fucking heartbreaking like tht #lowkey made me tear up along with the reactions of Emma Mikey and the grandfather #it’s nice to see the grandfather actually emotional since we didn’t see it up until now and it seemed like he was just there tbh so yeah #i feel so bad for Emma tho like God she was abandoned by her mom never met her dad developed a relationship with her siblings mom just for #her to die then have her older brother die AND then for her to die so young?? it’s just so fucking tragic she never got a break #and knowing she still tried to be a rock for Mikey and her grandfather (I’m assuming) by taking care of them makes me so incredibly sad #but I was hoping this backstory would help me understand Mikey’s actions more but it didn’t #why did he forgive Baji??? just bc he said he was sorry?? he was still an accomplice and then proceeded to defend kazutora despite kazutora #talking shit to Mikey about how it was his fault he killed his brother??? #why did he have such an attachment to Baji and why did forgive kazutora?? #i get Baji sacrificed himself so they wouldn’t fight but how would tht be enough to negate all his negative feelings towards kazutora over #his brother death? i don’t get it #but anyway I’m glad next chapter we’re finally gonna get Mikey’s actual thoughts on Takemichi #i know he’s shared his thoughts at times but I wanna hear how he subconsciously feels and I especially wanna know how he felt about Kisaki #Tokyo revengers 264

adding to the list of Top Reactions People Have Had Upon Meeting My Cat: housemate brought a boy home and he just keeps staring at bones and saying "oh you are SO white... such a white cat... wow you're just. really really white..." under his breath.

#small bones #ctxt #HE'S CAP & SADDLE HE'S NOT EVEN ALBINO OR ANYTHING #HE JUST GIVES OFF INTENSE MAYONNAISE MIDDLE AGED ACCOUNTANT VIBES #go white boy go! give us nothing! #also top contenders: E just bursting into laughter cause his cap looks like a crooked little toupee #and seb looking at me w/ deep concern to ask 'why does this little man have such sad eyes?' #the curse is heavy on him idk 🥰 #benjamin button ass motherfucker but he never gets any younger as he ages #E calls him a garlic roll cause he's too stinky to be a cinnamon roll. still delicious and essential to the cooking process but. crusty

im ngl, i kinda hate that i even watched Trigun stampede, bc i'll think abt trimax normally, but then kind of laugh to myself like "at least they didnt do [what tristamp did]" and im like oh my god

#personal #like what a waste of a show #i was thinking i'd accept ww dying in an arthur morgan way. understandable consequences from previous actions #even the baseball au has him terminally ill #so that'd use the drug thing. but then i think of tristamp having him fucking eat like 10 of those suckers in one scene #and the literally use it in every fight... tristamp ww knows the show's pacing. hes fulfilling his role #hes fine w eating that glass vial thing #and sooo many more examples. i disagree w the rapid age thing and the reboot completely skipping his training #just having him get experimented on asap so it does look like hes a 10 y/o in an adult's body #and so much more. its... bad but laughable but sad too. idk its crazy #never offensively bad ig but i am like why was it made tbh fsdhfhjsd

it only lasted like 5 pages but I really prefer dustfinger's scars being disfiguring rather than "drawn on with a pencil"

#meggie being like 'looks like you got attacked by godzilla' then 'i didnt mean that' when shes less pissed at him later #i WOULD have accepted that as part of meggie's coming-of-age and learning she needs to not be a bitch about people's appearances #except that everyone else in the series from then on agrees w her that the scars are barely noticeable #boring!!!! #would have been nice for her to be like 'yeah you healed rough (i mean. as well as expected considering you probably had 6 total stitches) #but im growing up out of practical isolation and learning that facial differences dont play a part in whether someone is good or bad:-)' #WHICH!! is a belief i would expect from someone who loves roald dahl and jekyll n hyde which she does #whatever ms funke does have a problem with equating happy endings with being abled and ~looking normal~ #resa getting her voice back bc shes good but cockerall getting a limp bc hes bad and darius losing his stutter for some reason #violante's skin clearing up bc people realize shes a sweetheart but balbulus losing a hand when we realize he sucks #and dustfinger's fkcing scars changing in severity depending on whether hes the good guy or bad guy in the scene #bleh #i also headcanon he has p bad nerve damage aint no way basta cut so deeply he looked freshly gored for months afterward #and still has full use of his facial muscles #meggie's like 'never seen anyone that smiles like he does' girl the bottom half of his face is not connected to the top anymore hes trying #also good explanation for why hes always touching his face if he cant fkcing feel it #dustfinger #inkheart #im gonna try so hard to make more inkheart posts i literally feel grief in my heart seeing that person say #they havent thought about it in years #it's my sole responsibility to fix this #says kenna

Iron Man (1968) #64

#I’m a bit hmm regarding that Tony’s feelings for Pepper are completely settled #and that him having a relationship with Roxie Gilbert can be made to work #the conclusion that Tony’s come to here is that Pepper’s place is with Happy #but Tony was not the start of their issues so I don’t think he’d be the end of it either #it remains to me seen if they can get their lifestyle preferences sorted #and Roxie saying #‘I can never forget the murder his munitions rained on Viet Nam for more than a decade! #And yet… perhaps I can forgive him those crimes in the name of good intentions- if tragically misplaced’ #is some really weak reasoning #so I’m not quite convinced #though it does look like Roxie’s not as young as I thought cause I was thinking she was college-aged #and forgot she owned a health foods store #actually even aside from how he built his fortune his wealth could still provide a conflict in their relationship #last issue she insisting on splitting cab fare with him #but not everything in his life is something that she can afford to pay half of #also I really like that Pepper’s hatred for Iron Man is being brought up directly #because it was really striking to me in the last batch of issues I read #there was a part where she had been told that Iron Man was dead and then Tony came across her crying #and he was like btw Iron Man isn’t actually dead but also why are you crying cause I know you wouldn’t cry for Iron Man #like damn #also it would just be a really big deal if Pepper finally learned that Tony is Iron Man in the upcoming issues #marvel #tony stark #roxie gilbert #pepper potts #happy hogan #my posts #comic panels

Coach Momoe, Abe, Hamada, Tajima, Hanai, gender. Momoe is a charismatic and not particularly masc woman who wears the same uniform as the guys and has the boundless and stern self-confidence expected of men. Hanai initially is a bit sexist towards her, but after a show of brute strength he submits his will to her own entirely and treats her like an army general or a personal hero. He is in love with her on a level beyond girl = cute. In fact Hanai’s feelings for her are entirely concerned with her position as coach and motivator. His awareness of her being a woman is more to do with his respect for the stuff she’s gone through and the tightrope she walks than his feelings for her; Coach-Momokan who is a woman and Girl-Maria are mutually exclusive, one supplants the other. He’s not in love with someone who isn’t the Coach, he’s extremely aware that the Coach is a woman, but he also canonically abandons any expectations of her filling a feminine role. His attraction isn’t to her femininity and can’t be.

Tajima sees Hanai’s admiration for Momoe and jumps immediately to ‘crush.’ He himself has said he’s attracted to Momokan and would date her if she were his year. He doesn’t recognize that she views them all as kids rather than peers. To him, Momoe is a girl who is energetic like him, who loves baseball like him, who happens to be a few years older than him and knows more about stuff and can coach. Her being a girl, her desirability, her being his teacher don’t conflict because Tajima has no set concept of the roles. He has to get it pointed out to him that she stands apart in authority compared to Hanai’s hyper awareness of her authority, but he never forgets for a moment that she’s a girl you could crush on.

Hamada both jumps to thinking of Momoe as an attractive woman because of his mysterious sordid past and recognizes that she’s an adult and the rest of them are kids to her. He can see her as an object of affection because of her femininity, but absolutely can’t imagine her as a peer.

The rest of the team views her normally. She’s their coach who is also a woman, she has long hair, imagining her as a love interest is just weird uncomfortable and kind of odd.

Then Abe takes everything and turns it in the opposite direction. He has no concept of Momoe as a ~woman~ (desirable, attractive, charismatic) and because of that he also sees her as a woman. Let me rephrase. When the team discusses the ban on Shinooka confessions, the thought of Momokan as a love interest doesn’t cross anybody else’s mind but Tajima’s. Abe is the one who brings her up because—she’s a girl, technically, girls are in the acceptable dating demographic, ergo she’s also got to be off-limits. He’s so divorced from understanding the cisheteropatriarchal norm that he doesn’t understand womanhood being tied up in desire. All girls are equally just-normal-people, he can’t understand why the gang would crush on Shinooka (woman) and not Momokan (also a woman). Then later in his game with Shuu, he mentions that he didn’t really think of Momokan as a woman until then, and when he does, his first thought is—boy, that must have been hard. Gender is purely math to him. If you’re a girl, you have certain expectations and category tags. If you’re a guy, vice versa. There’s no intuitive understanding of how gender roles fit together. He’s just memorized them.

That comes around to the end of the circle. Abe resolves to win for Momokan just like Hanai resolves to win for Momokan. They both view her as their Coach and know she’s a woman. Hanai comes at it from the ambiguously romantic perspective. His admiration for her is dangerously intense, his motivation on her behalf is possessive and self-effacing, he devotes his will to her as a personal gift. Abe comes at it from a firmly student-mentor perspective. She’s sacrificed a lot to teach him, she’s skilled and she’s clever, he respects her deeply for accomplishing everything she has in spite of the challenges. He wants to win as a gesture of repayment and good clean friendship. There’s no push-and-pull or unspoken interest like he has with eg Haruna or Mihashi. They’re both motivated to win for Momokan and in completely different ways

#kelsey liveblogs oofuri #Abe and Momokan underrated dynamic I say. having only posted about the cleanup triangle before #she’s the one constantly on him about Mihashi but he never holds that against her. he respects her immensely. #more than that! he was her first team member (: #basically: Momokan. straddles gender lines in the segregated world of sport #Hanai. in love with Momokan but his love for her is divorced from her being a girl and him being a boy. her womanhood complicates it. #Tajima: red-blooded teenager. #Hamada: understands that Momoe is a good-looking lady but also that she’s like their teacher #rest of the team: Momokan’s coach hood disqualified her from gender and attraction as one united concept #Abe: does understand Hanai’s feelings but only gets them for unattainable men. because he can’t understand attraction to women #he therefore doesn’t understand why Momoe would be in a different category from any other woman because of her age or authority #anyway hanai transgender. he transcends and perceives

Sagawa is unfuckable in my head but in my heart he and nishitani had something embarrassing going on

#Listen to my problems #actually i transsexualise characters in yakuza based on one simple rule: if majima wants to hit then its a 65% that the guy is trans (if he #DESPERATELY wants to hit then its a 100% chance the guy is trans) the percentage rule doesnt apply to girls because majima doesnt believe #in unattractive girls (and shes right) #i will never date an ugly girl. why ? because ugly girls dont exist #let me get to the heart of my post anyway . i was randomly assigning cooler genders to yaluza characters when i actually looked at my list #and was like ... this ... this is !!!! majimas fuckit list !!! and theres already two dead guys on it. too ass #ill make it clearer actually sagawa being majimas handler does act a bit possessive and intimate towards him but he holds zero desire in his #heart for the poor boy even if he had to handfeed him for a while and it was super sad but majima on the other hand absolutely cannot #control where his dick compass swings and starts lusting after the guy more than twice his age plus he just got ‘rescued’ by sagawa <- its #just a simple passing of the leash from shimano to sagawa though and majima Knows this logically that hes completely forgotten how to act li #ke a human being and this is really dumb and he really shouldnt but hes extremely susceptible to his wild imagination and nightmares combo w #here hes trapped in a maze of his own libidio and trauma and against his will sagawa gets his sex engine roaring even though he hates the gu #y and thinks he sucks and it Really doesnt help that sagawa knows and lets majima know hes politely pretending hes not getting hard #stop reading btw im going to start talking about my creature of the night au wh actully no im not actually yes i am #but since majima goes wolfmode every full moon and he though his memories are foggy he can still Remember. and sagawa fucking loves animals #and a wolf is no different he really has a soft spot for wolfjima and spoils him a bit and majima gets trained against his will and itswired #deep enough to bleed over into his subconscious even when hes human and can remember that he hates sagawa but its hard to actually... hurt #him especially since in this au majima fucking bit him and sagawa let it slide. like he nearly got his arm torn off and had to wear a cast #for months and he never once blamed majima for it (soft spot strikes again) despite everything and despite how awful he is majima kind of #realises that sagawa (in his own way) is acting with majimas ‘best interests’ in mind <- extremely subjective statement #the thing is that he really respects him for that and trusts him not to pull the trigger on him when he doesnt ‘deserve’ it

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

more personal thoughts leave me be I just-

looking for Alois vids on YouTube and I rewatched his death scene half because I apparently wanted to be sad and half because I was curious about the comments

and there are quite a few nice ones and saying he didn’t deserve to die and all that

but there are WAY too many for my taste still saying that he was annoying, deserved to die, his fucked up past doesn’t excuse his bad behavior, and I just

I DUNNO MAN

I agree that his past doesn’t make some of the things he did (like what he did to Hannah) okay, but at the same time

I also don’t understand how people can look at someone like Alois who went through horrors that a lot of people wouldn’t have survived, someone who was abused pretty much every day of his life, groomed and raped and hurt enough for a fucking lifetime, and think “well he deserved to die”

like genuinely it makes me SO upset. imagine looking at someone’s sad story like this and saying they didn’t deserve a chance to heal because they’ve already done bad things. like they don’t deserve a chance to get better, they’ve screwed up so all they deserve is death.

even in the face of all the material canon gave us to tell us “hey, he’s fucked up and this is why, he might do bad things but he’s never really known anything else”

guys it just makes me so mad HE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER and I don’t understand how people can look at a character and miss the point of “trauma fucks you up” and twist it into “traumatized character has flaws and deserves to die”

I just. don’t get it, you know?? I can see why people think he’s annoying and not necessarily a good person but holy shit I don’t understand how that means he didn’t deserve anything but the horrible death he got.

like, you don’t have to agree with everything someone does to feel that they deserved better. the total lack of sympathy for this poor boy-

it just makes me feel. like. sick. :T

#rape mention tw #abuse mention tw #mod post #like holy shit he wasn't perfect but I'VE displayed some of the selfish bratty behavior he has #especially when I was at the same age he was in canon #and that's WITHOUT me being abused #it really doesn't take a genius to look at Alois and realize WHY he acts the way he does #GOOD LORD this is why I made his recovery AU because HE DESERVED BETTER AND HE ISN'T AN EVIL PERSON!!! #I saw a comment that called him just as evil as Claude or Sebastian and I wanted to vomit #like imagine comparing an abuse survivor who shows symptoms to a literal soul-eating demon :/ #I will NEVER shut about the raw deal he's gotten in the fandom and if I ever do shut up about it assume I'm dead

#rat rambles #starve posting #maxwell posters have lost any semblance of tolerance from me ages ago Ive yet to meet a maxwell fan who's just like a normal person #and to clarify I actually do like maxwel as I am the number one just some asshole whos in too deep enjoyer #but dear god are ppl just absolutely incapable of being normal abt this man and everyone around him #and even beyond that ppl just do not get this man like please he is indeed interesting but not because of some 'retconed redemption' #like pls we can live in a world where he is not an irridemable monster and is in fact just some guy while also still being a flawed person #like the fact that he is so deeply flawed in ways that he never actually properly adressed and challenged is the interesting thing to me #like look at me. he went through horrible shit he didnt deserve. that didnt inherently make him a better or worse person #it just made him a more miserable person #and he didnt escape because of some change of heart or character development #and afterwards he teamed up with wilson because of necessity #I do think on some level he genuinely cares abt the other survivors and he does have genuine regret for how things turned out #but again those things dont inherently mean he moved past the flaws that got him here it just means he has the ability to recognize that #shit sucks and that he wish none of it happened #its why encore is one of my favorite animations from a character perspective because it shows some juicy charlie and maxwell stuff #mainly it shows both that charlie has not forgiven his ass and is manipulating him and that maxwell is still susceptible to it #which isnt a sigh of them rolling back development it's just a sign that maxwell is easy to manipulate with the right cards #which adds up considering his past and his present very well in my opinion #this is a man whos historically always ran away from his problems and is always on the hunt for a sense of control #and charlie tapped into both that and his ever present guilt #its in fact very unsurprising and not out of place for him to fall for that sort of manipulation #and it also makes for a great set up for the inevitable betrayal from charlie as maxwell is hit by the harsh reality of his situation #and that whole situation would lead to some yummy tasty parallels when charlie inevitably gets betrayed herself (I hope) #the ways charlie and maxwel are so similar yet so different facinates me deeply I love how much charlie doesnt realize shes kinda fucked #I want her to be betrayed so hard and left in the dust with no ground to stand on I want the rug pulled out from under her feet #her composition comes from her confidence in the necessity of her actions and the moral superiority she feels over maxwell #so having her sense of superiority be revoked would make for a super fascinating dynamic as she tries to justify the situation in her head #I wanna see her siral and then maybe change her pronouns idk
