you dream of devouring your friends whole

#the 'it' and 'that' sif is referring to is the act 3 loop hangout but i enjoy being vague in dialogue it feels natural. tee hee. #serious time means everyone gets noses btw. sorry about the slow metamorphasis back into my usual style from my mimicry #in stars and time #isat #isat spoilers #isat loop #isat act 5 spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat siffrin #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #sifloop #YES IM TAGGING THE SHIP. THUMBS UP. READ INTO THAT HOW YOU WILL BECAUSE IT WAS ON MY MIND WHEN DRAWING IT AT THE LEAST #aaaaaanyway. my personal reading of loop is. how do you say... flowey-esque. to invoke a fellow antagonistic timelooper. since imo #they do seem even fuuurther gone than sasasap sif was when we saw them. and BOY DOES LATEGAME ISAT SIF HAVE SOME INTRUSTIVE THOUGHTS #so uh. who's to say what happened in there. since we know start again isnt quite congruent as loop never beat the king. #i wouldn't blame them for going maybe a little mad. just a lil #it is important to me that loop is. perhaps a bit haunted. AND THAT THEY GET THROUGH IT!!! but they are haunted #lucabyteart #anyway uhhh. probably should put a cw for implied cannibalism?? #cannibalism mention

I used to despise Eridan and think he was the absolute worst character (barring Cronus ig) but you have shown me the light and completely turned my opinion around and now I think he is such an endearing little freak <3 I read your whole blog already but if you've got any more thoughts on eri or anyone else then I hope you post them bc I'd love to hear more abt it!

i have sooo many controversial opinions about the dancestors you have noooooo idea

#always glad to have another person go 'oh eridan's not that bad huh' #like he IS a freak and there is SO MUCH thats wrong with him #but he's supposed to be an antagonist AND sympathetic AND funny AND pathetic AND tragic #like all these things can be true hes just a complex character #same w a lot of them #vriska equius and gamzee all kind of fall into this boat #yes there is a lot thats wrong with them but they are also 13 #let he who was not a shithead at 13 cast the first stone #anyway ive been hesitant about talking about the dancestors because if my eridan opinions are controversial... #but the tl;dr is that almost all of them suck horribly #like collectively they are the worst characters in homestuck and thats on purpose #bc their role in the story is villainous like theyre the reason lord english even exists #if the alternian trolls as a rule are meant to be sympathetic even if they have a lot of problems #then the beforus trolls are like a worst case scenario of 'what if they never address their problems and grow up that way' #theyre the counterpoint to the comics themes of being a kid and growing up #learning to care about each other and become responsible #the beforus trolls are children who never grew up #going through the exact same problems and drama as when they were children #because they never took responsibility for their own actions or their treatment of each other #And That's Terrible

Mori Ougai ✰ A Dream of Butterflies

#bsdedit #Bungou Stray Dogs #Mori Ougai #BSD #Mori #*edits #yes I spent most of this episode on the floor but #I did notice young Mori lookin' FINE #also one thing about Yosano's backstory is that it really shows you that Mori IS truly evil #I don't know if he'll continue to be a de facto ally of the ADA #but I've felt for some time that he's the true villain of this series #even if he never becomes the main antagonist

i like drawing these two. their designs are fun. i think it's the fluff, the heart motifs, and the stupid hats. and also their size difference

the bottom two are sort of like "what if valentino owned husk" ideas

#hazbin hotel #hazbin husk #hazbin valentino #valentino #husk #obligatory “i don't condone val's actions i just like his design and antagonistic role in the story” tag #idk if i should tag this as ship amd tbh i don't think they even have a ship tag #i just like the size difference. husk holding val's arm like a child #i have a lot of thoughts about the “val owns husk's soul” au actually #it isn't a swap au. val still owns angel #yes val is his canon levels of abusive self and husk has a terrible time #angel and husk are acquaintances. they are friendly with each other but val keeps angel on too tight a leash #husk isn't very important to val. he brings in enough clients that he's allowed to just exist in the background #maybe one day husk stumbles across a broken angel and can't help but clean him up and tend to his wounds #they could become proper friends #though neither would be in the right place to even consider a relationship #i just really like it when husk's heart is too big for his own good #i imagine valentino would start being worse with husk once he finds out he and angel are friendly #there's only so much i can go into the au on tumblr unfortunately #sun art #oh yeah in the second pic yes his wings are clipped :)

Norma is objectively one of the funniest psychonauts characters though. she immediately assumes this 10 year old is the mole taking down the psychonauts from the inside and decides the best way to gather information is to stalk his dad. Ruins ford and raz’s plan to defeat maligula by being a snitch. Helped save the day by fixing the problem she caused. Is now in hell because she was wrong and all the other kids make her fortnite dance and shout go snitch girl go. Her sister got all the cool genes and now she’s stuck being an insufferable nerd. Probably says “well actually” at least ten times a day. Beefing with a 10 year old. Let’s give it up for pathetic & annoying female characters (fond).

#psychonauts #i don’t even think her thinking raz was the mole was unreasonable tbh #like obviously the adults are like this 10 year old isn’t the snitch #but she’s close enough to his age to not see that as an excuse and also I feel like that just made her feel like she was #the only one who could do anything about it. #by virtue of being the main character raz was involved in a lot of shit that made him seem suspicious #like I do enjoy her a lot even if I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the fanon interpretations of her character #& I would love to see her and raz be worsties one day #because yes raz is only ten but he absolutely contributes to their beef on purpose #it’s like one of those things where u can’t snitch on him for being an ass because he’s ten and you’re a teenager #& people are like ohh norma come on he’s just 10 stop beefing with a child that’s stupid #and behind their back raz is making faces at her #i think they have great potential for antagonistic sibling energy once they get to know each other #raz behaves normally around the rest of the jr agents specifically to gaslight norma into thinking she’s an idiot for beefing with a child. #lili & lizzie would also absolutely help with this #god esp because raz has endeared himself so much to all of the big name agents AND Truman zanotto #i need 2 play psychonauts 2 again I’m so normal about this game

help me i literally cannot get enough of Elendira and Wolfwood interacting

i could literally read an entire manga on these two's interactions kdfjsfdlksjdf i love it so much

also. less of an interaction & more just a panel appreciation but

they make me feel very bisexual <3

#speculation nation #fanny reads trigun #trigun #trigun spoilers/ #wolfwood #elendira #& livio but he's not a focus lol #yes i cut chapel out of the last panel. fuck that dude. #anyways. focus is very bad so im not working on a coherent analysis post rn. Take This Instead. #legit aside from Vash i think Wolfwood & Elendira r my top favs of trigun. like wolfwood obviously but Elendira is just soooooooooo #canon trans woman nihilist who's not even that antagonistic she just hates humanity & wants everyone dead <3 #she's not that into fighting she's just here to have a good time. not her fault everyone wants to fight her! #i love how she needles at Wolfwood klsdjflskdjf god. i wish we saw more of them interacting...................... a guy can dream........

not to tuckington post but i do have to admit the girlies have something there with the fact that like. tuckington is one of the few ships where the people involved just like. genuinely like each other. like they still get exasperated by each others bullshit but they’re still Actually Friends who simple enjoy each others company. you strip away all the other bullshit and they just like each other.

#they’re friends. it’s nice. #most relationships in rvb are on some level antagonistic #and like yes tuckington started like that but like you get halfway through season 11 and they’re just. genuinely friends. #even chucker isn’t like that they’re still as each others throats. the rituals. #wash understands the rituals he’s done the rituals but he’s old now. he’s tired he doesn’t want them anymore #and tucker wants out of the rituals so badly. he’s dying please. please just let him be normal and genuine. #he needs any excuse to act like a real person and not a caricature he’s made of himself. #and wash realizes this and goes oh thank god. i thought you were really like that. oh god okay. no more rituals let’s just talk like adults

Tuvok: The Monastery Years

#and yes that same song is playing while he cleans #I like imagining Tuvok & that monk he was assigned to having a friendly but antagonistic mentor-mentee thing #like how he was like 'Tuvok...what if I told you that your crush didn't like you back?' (WHAT!?) 'Hypothetically.' #Tuvok seems like the type of guy who'd take things he was subjected to and subject other people to them. In this instance: scrub the floor #by hand as punishment for something #comix #st voyager #st voyager fanart #Tuvok #In my head teen Tuvok either shaves his head before going to the monastery (more canon) #or he refuses to cut his hair until it catches on fire like three times and then he shaves it even though he only needs to cut it (funnier) #Tuvok: -waiting for a comment about his hair- ... / Monk: ....-never mentions it as a power move- v_v #they dont make em like this anymore! what? bad? <- first draft but vetoed for being too ooc in wording #bea art tag

Considering Earthspark’s approach to making the Decepticons not that evil, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce some awful Autobots as antagonists.

I know it would be fucked but- Sunder and Froid were the first to come to mind 👁👁

(Also considering that some of the inspiration for Tarantulas came from Sins Of The Wreckers, Impactor 👀)

Iicr, there were definitely a few on my "what would be the most fucked up thing to add into earthspark" poll(s) with earthspark Sunder being what inspired me to make the poll and who i voted for (yes i voted on my own poll sue me, earthspark Tarn still won)

I also considered earthspark Pharma and earthspark Getaway, which a tfe Getaway would be ~interesting~ because it gives us the idea of some of the autobots splitting off in protest of Megatron defecting and teaming up against our protagonists

I've in general been thinking a lot about mnemosurgery / mnemosurgeons in relation to Earthspark, and I admit I too have thought about Sunder and Froid dropping in on earth (i imagine that Froid lures mecha to Sunder, kinda like what we saw in the series)

Pharma would be a crunchy situation because not only did he flip shit but his design is so interesting especially with the saws especially with the saws.

I've also been considering Trepan or a character like him... for reasons...

I had not even considered Impactor he's a lovely lovely choice to choose here, especially giving him deep history with Megatron.

#maccadam #transformers #mtmte sunder #sunder #mtmte froid #froid #idw impactor #impactor #pharma #mtmte pharma #getaway #mtmte getaway #tfe tarn #I've also been considering digging up the darker history of the primes and functionists but that's not technically autobots #transformers earthspark #it would be so fucked but it was my first thought too when making that poll #hell even just Froid in earthspark would lead to some seriously fucked up scenes i bet #I'm trying to think of more because i don't really think say Tyrest fits #dropping brainstorm in might be interesting situation where he's an antagonist yes but he's a sympathetic one who might be redeemed #there are so many morally gray autobots from the comics who would be interesting to tip into earthspark

Please tell us abt the parallels :o

YEAH OKAY SO!!!!

in this au (and as i write ralsei in my canon always lol) the biggest thing that puts pressure on ralsei's life is the prophecy--it says a human, a monster, and a prince from the dark, and because it is a prophecy, and it is fate, is HAS to be true, and ralsei, as a darkner, a group of people who literally exist below the lightners, is charged with bringing this prophecy into fruition. she has spent her entire life ALONE, with nothing but this prophecy for comfort, saying that one day, ONE DAY, she'll get through this and she'll have friends. but yknow, that weighs on a person! its heavy and terrible and she has contorted herself to fit what fate tells her she must be.

and then for noelle, the big thing putting pressure on her? her dead siblings (dess and kris. kris isnt technically her sibling but yknow for ease of language thats what i use. also we know they arent dead but noelle and the rest dont). with their deaths means noelle is now the baby of the family, a family that is shaped by this great gaping grief noelle cannot comprehend, because when dess and kris died she was young enough she barely remembers them beyond like, maybe half-formed memories but she isnt sure if those are real or just what people have told her. shes expected to be grieving her dead siblings but really she just sort of. hates them a little bit. for going off and dying and now her mom and toriel are super overprotective of her, and she knows its her fault asriel never left to go to college and hasnt even left hometown, and its just. its rough.

so both noelle and ralsei have these Huge things that have defined their lives that neither of them want, but. too bad! WHICH LEADS TO EVEN MORE PARALLELS. slash foils lol.

because when it comes to the prophecy? noelle isnt supposed to be in it!!! while this au is sort of a roleswap in that noelle takes kris's place its not a roleswap in Any Other Way, which means, yeah, the prophecy is still supposed to be a human. and noelle, uh, isnt that! but she goes around and helps close dark worlds and is part of the delta warriors anyways, which is, for ralsei, this like, really scary point.

cause ralsei? adores noelle!! thats her best friend!!! ralsei doesnt know if she has a crush on noelle or wants to be noelle! noelle just does what she WANTS. she bucks against the pressures her family puts on her. she dives into the dark despite the fact that this world was never made for her. shes TRANS. shes a GIRL, and she can just DO THAT, and ralsei looks at her, and just. wants. in every sense of the word.

because noelle has all these things put on her like ralsei does--but noelle gets to slip out of them. noelle gets to be a person.

and ralsei, non-person, darkner: she doesnt.

she never will.

#drkau #deltarune #I LOVE THEM. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH..... #also she/her used for ralsei here but at this point in time ralsei is Not out lol. like not even to herself #god its so messy its SO MESSY but dont worry of course they get a happy ending <3 #ralsei has an antagonist arc for a bit (mix of prophecy + jealously + the human soul which yes is a player here) #and yknow who goes after her. thats right noelle. and susie cannot forget susie #and its just. god. i care about them all so much okay. this au truly has everything #i mean i wrote it so of course it does BUT. #DRK AU MY BEST FRIEND #also can you tell how anti-fate i am from this lol #its sooooo obvious in this story sorry i simply reallllllly dislike fate and how its portrayed in a lot of things #its the same reason i take issue with soulmate aus. i simply think the world Would Be Worse #and if you arent pushing it to that conclusion what is the point #BUT THATS ANOTHER TOPIC THIS IS A POST ABOUT NOELLE AND RALSEI DELTARUNE

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog gives me the same vibes as Wayne Family Adventures.

#the murder of sonic the hedgehog #sonic #batman wayne family adventures #batman #them actually giving a spotlight to every character that appears at some point? #characters that usualy are antagonistic being nice to each other and spending their time together doing regular people stuff? #despite being a comedic side project that wasnt supposed to be taken seriously and isnt even relevant in canon #having the most spot-on characterization out of anything that came out in last years? #they are the same picture all right #yes im still on my snapcube fixation arc #tmosth #sonic the hedgehog #wayne family adventures #batfam wfa

infinite wealth if sawashiro said "who gives a shit about ebina im going to hawaii with ichi" and then the rest of the game is a family vacation

#Ok so here's my dream scenario. It starts w kicking kiryu out of the narrative bc girl. I love the guy but he does not need to be here!! #kicking him out of the narrative also banishes the ebina stuff. I'm still keeping him around but #he'll be basically built up to be the main antagonist of 9. We're ONLY focusing on the cult stuff for 8 #the way 8 closes him off is already sequel bait so give him a proper focus game w 9 #Anyways now that that's out of the way. My worstie sawashiro does indeed become a party member. #His moveset is mostly blade damage w some blunt damage mixed in. YES I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT GAME MECHANICS #His singular elemental move is him flicking a cigarette at the enemy. Yes this is based off of that one scene w ichi in 7 #ANYWAYS I HAVE MANY IDEAS I CANT TYPE THEM ALL OUT RN BUT. FAMILY VACATION ARC. PLEASE #ITS INSANE TO ME HOW KASUGA 'I LOVE MY FAMILY' ICHIBAN WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PROPERLY INTERACT W HIS FAMILY??? #AND THE MAJORITY OF SAWASHIROS CONFLICT INCLUDED CAST MEMBERS WHO DIDNT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT ABOUT HIM???? #I keep thinking back on that scene where ebina shows him passed out on that chair and THE INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR #THAT SCENE WAS AN OCEAN AWAY LIKE GIRL. WHAT WAS THE POINT??? #well another perspective of that scene would be that sawashiro would be glad that ichi wasn't the one that came to rescue. which is. Misery #me when characters are defined by their guilt 💥💥💥💥😵💥💥💥😵‍💫💥💥💥😱💥💥💥💥😫💥💥💥 #Well. If y'all read all these tags. thanks. If anyone is curious about this self indulgent au that I've created feel free to hit me up #(Please hit me up I'm desperate to talk abt the arakawa family misery and I deeply wish this game was even more miserable) #rgg #nile talks

It is such a travesty I was hardcore not looking at the fact that I was into girls when I was a kid. The amount of "mia and me" mia/violetta wattpad fanfiction 10 year old me could've been writing... tragic.

#baby's first toxic yuri #every single time a media property introduced a 'mean girl' bully antagonist and then redeemed her i was OBSESSED #mia and me #mia #violetta #actually i could've been a mia/yuko girlie too... well she has 2 hands #and yes to be historically accurate it would have to be wattpad #by the time i discovered ao3 i already knew i was bi #and sure i suppose i could just write the fic NOW but it would not have the same flavor as a hyperxiated 10 year old #tbh mialetta (is that what we're calling it?) is not even that toxic. Now whatever the fuck gargona had going on with panthea? THAT'S toxic #they really did just recreate the queer-coded villain with infatuated henchmen trope but with women... feminism

MIRAKANE CONTENT ... literally jumps up and down in joy fr fr

I was gonna answer this privately because I’m gonna delete the thing you’re referring to in a day or so, so this ask won’t make much sense after that happens, but I started rambling about something that Wasn’t That so I guess it can be public

but yeah! Mirakane! The murderest of lesbians that I’m aware of! and also one of them unequivocally hates the other for crimes committed in the past except she isn’t aware that those crimes were committed by this specific murder lesbian!

idk if Mirakane is requited in the “True End” Route of ZWG, i have no idea if my Akane is capable of separating The Person Mira from The Act Of Killing Sally Valentine and therefore Getting Akane’s Father Sentenced To Death. the attraction would have to be present in the first place for her to even put effort into trying to untangle that knot, but i suppose a world exists where Akane has enough distance to say “there’s no way Tiny Mira had the foresight to see past the immediate consequences of her murder, I should instead get mad at the American Court System for killing a man, who was not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have killed the woman in question, just because he himself was not American”

don’t know if that world is this world

but you know what, I will always support and spread Aromantic Lesbian Mira Propaganda

and i maintain that the only reason Mira ever attached herself to Eric in canon was because he attached himself to her first and she had enough self loathing to go “welp, this is probably the best I’m ever gonna get, even if I don’t like it I guess it isn’t unpleasant”

#kay q&a #kay rambles #kay rambles in the tags #zero escape #zwg #ztd spoilers #mira ztd #akane kurashiki #akane zero escape #zero time dilemma #hey so like did mirakane exist before i started writing them #i know the answer is probably yes? #two characters who have reason to be antagonistic towards one another seems to be popular ship logic #for. whatever reason. ‘your actions directly led to my father’s death! that means i wanna fuck you!’ shippers are weird. #i think ‘A and B have a mutual attraction but B has a secret that will ruin their relationship’ makes for a much better story #that’s part of why i started writing mirakane in zwg #the other main contributor was my own personal experience #developing a crush on someone who supported me emotionally when i felt like no one else understood me #‘oh. this person is putting in the effort to like. give a shit about me. …that’s kinda hot.’ #and then of course the other person Does Not Reciprocate and might not even be aware of your attraction #that uh. that second part never happened to me. i was always a little too obvious. #but luckily! akane is completely oblivious! i think i’m headcanoning her as demi? possibly asexual? (but not aro #she does want to romance a Junpei after all) #she simply Does Not Recognize attraction unless she herself is attracted
