#I am not typing all that again

[x-moonsoul-x]

Oh, you’re a writer? That’s cute.

Write me a short story of 10k words where it’s just a character running, I’ll wait. 🙄

#i’m not serious #but I think I could do it #and maybe that’s a testimony to my arrogance #I’m about to digress like I’m a college student ramped up on energy drinks and have an essay due in T-minus two and. a half hours #describing each individual molecule like I’m being payed be it #*for it #I meant for it #I am not typing all that again

Enstars sure is an experience. Did I miss anything?

#are you guys all okay? i definitely am not okay #this is not the type of media that i usually go for yet it is EXACTLY the type of media that i would like #so many gaps so many stories WAY TOO MUCH READING I DONT HAVE THE TIME #i know i missed a lot because ive only watched the anime and read the main music story up to ch 4 of the second part #and i have read some events stories that were free #and maybe one or two outside from translations #but like thats it #this is like reading orv and getting hit with its deep metas on human life and the importance of stories #but instead im being clobbered by the most deranged storylines known to man (and again. i read ORV and am a bsd fan) #this isnt fantasy but there is nothing realistic about enstars and i unfortunately am attached #every day i spiral into east asian media that gives me an aneurysm #bsd -> orv -> link click -> enstars....i wanna say they keep getting more unhinged but theyre all unhinged in different ways #anyway please help me.... #enstars #ensemble stars #fandom spamdom #stuff i say #i will admit i am mostly into the game for the stories #a consistent gamer i am not #but to unlock the stories ill push back the animes i have to catch up on etc etc #again. please help me.... #edit: updated to remove queerbaiting because apparently i dont know whats going on

Hate the commonplace misinterpretation of this line.

You must remember that Splinter speaks in riddles. If you think he’s going the straightforward direction and addressing the knee injury itself, I am afraid you are wildly mistaken.

Physical limits will hold you back no matter what, but be careful not to impose mental limits on yourself by believing you can’t do it. It’s better to try and fail because of a physical injury than to never try at all because you’re convinced you can’t do it.

He is not saying ‘ignore your leg injury’. He is saying ‘Do not let your injury stop you from trying’. Do you understand me. Are you understanding what I am saying to you.

#I tried to post thsi once already but it didn’t go through and I had to type it all out again urgk #anyways. you will listen to me #I am grabbing you I am shaking you I am slamming your skull into the concrete. you will listen #Splinter is like 25% bad at parenting but this moment is not one of his sins #if you read this far thank you I lov you #txt #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #tmnt splinter #edit: upon further inspection this is one of his sins actually. like it’s good advice but he’s saying it to the wrong guy.

rottmnt splatoon au let’s go (dw abt lou jitsu i’m sure he’s fine)

for weapons: leo mains splatana wiper, raph mains tenta brella, mikey mains tetra dualies, and donnie mains snipewriter.

all four incorporate their ninja training into their fighting styles tho, just like lou jitsu, an infamous pro ranked player who mysteriously went missing decades ago.

also they’re all octos, but luckily inklings can’t actually tell the difference these days, so the only ppl who know are april and splinter. speaking of, how their dad ended up with them is a mystery. all they know is that something bad went down with the octarian army that he refuses to talk about.

anyways i am cooking a lot of lore for this so expect more posts lmao

#octo au #rip their designs look so desaturated here #my phone is lagging SO bad typing all this omg #i am never posting this many images at once again #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt leo #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt au #splatoon #splatoon au #i don’t actually know the splatoon fandom tags tbh #rottmnt fanart #art #digital art #crow does art #rottmnt lou jitsu

I love splatoon ocs that could be background characters but they have their own little lives

#I want to give love to ones that arent splatbands or inklings or octolings or salmonlings or inktolings or agents or idols #or any typical species you already see like urchins or sea slugs Ive said this before sorry. #I wish there were more ocs like mine (might be wording it wrong sorry if that sounds selfish) #Like. I go into oc tag all i see is either splatband or inkfish #That random sailfish or swordfish or w/e they were that i saw 1 time and never again. I love them #Am i not looking hard enough...Give me sea critters that no one else would think are interesting......................... #NOTE! I AM NOT HATING ON THE TYPES OF OCS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST TAG! NOTE! I DO NOT HATE FUN! NOTE! DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT!

#bakuspecial #commission art #honestly my idea is straight up just aping the cartoonist coop's model. since I'm not with them yet #but yeah that will basically be how it works. but I'll limit the available type of art so I can actually finish all of it. and I'll stream #I just need to make the assets and write the post. and organize stuff #thank you once again to everyone who commissioned! cannot overstate how honored I am to be trusted with ur little guys #even if just for this one time. I hope ur having a good day wherever u are #have a good night! I wont be going to bed yet. but I will be enjoying myself. I take a hammer to it

i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc

#what am i trying to say here? #idk! think about all of the pieces you have #dying is complicated in ohtori in countless different ways #and i find it boring to see so much ‘this character is dead and that’s it’ stuff #when death is used farrrrrrr more figuratively than some ppl give credit for #and i think the movie too does wonderful things with death #and what ‘dying’ really means #being disbelieved. being forgotten. being rejected. haunting despite this #much more interesting to think about wrt commentary on abusive relationships than it is #to think about what?? oh me when my brother died but plot twist he’s alive and can walk on this road all cool. like????? #akio doesn’t have the power to make himself revenant #he THINKS he does and he absolutely has power when he’s alive and he imbues that power with such meaning that it does live on after him #but ANTHY. anthy is the one struggling with herself and her feelings and the impact of trauma and abuse (that power!!) in aou #he’s dead? he died? she brought him back through her memories? or she’s left him (metaphorical death) and he’s haunting her?? #all such interesting interpretations #i haven’t mentioned touga bc i don’t have the energy today. if dead and just illusion of others memories then why active. why awful #like in aou akio is only Obviously scummy when he’s alive. his illusory self is based upon anthy’s love for him #if anime!touga is nothing more than nanami/whoever’s memories of him before he died……. why does he actively choose to suck again and again #like nanami wouldn’t do that. unless it was meant to be a subconscious thing like ooo he’s dead all along but that’s not what her arc is #it’s not ‘he’s been dead all along’ literally or figuratively. it’s ‘he’s unsafe and i don’t want him’ #sigh. once again i am asking people to think about nanami and touga’s dynamic through touga’s eyes #it’s so interesting to me how people forget to consider his motivations or feelings on ANYTHING #like sure his motivations and feelings are scummy but they’re interesting!!!!! they intrigue me!!!! #compel me even #anyway ignore how i said i didn’t have the energy for this and then typed it all out anyway #dais.txt

The blue eye samurai fandom, for some reason

#I am once again asking if the kids are alright bc it doesn’t really seem like they are #friendly reminder that mizu kills people ny guys including unarmed randos and one unlucky teenager pissing his pants in a corner #but sure Taigen is irredeemable. lay off my emotional support blorbo. #blue eye samurai #taigen #and hey I love Akemi a buttload but she has at least nine lives or something no way would getting robbed in the woods #running off to a brothel and getting re kidnapped go half as well for anyone else #no one ever took advantage of her it’s incredible I’m glad and all but my god those were stupid risks to take #I’m so looking forward to her political intrigue character arc but let’s not act like she hasn’t done some dumbass shit #and Mizu’s a fucking mercenary. does she kill for money? no but she killed for information and she’ll kill anyone in her way to get what she #wants. taigen as far as we know has only killed peoples in duels and fights. he’s not out ganking randos. #the point of this show is that this is not your average cartoon and none of these characters are average black or white types #everyone’s grey and it’s all delicious #enjoy it.

Mutual left this tag on one of my Fuuta analyses and yeah...

Part two of "Fuuta’s central theme is invasion of privacy and he has extreme anxiety over being watched, so it's interesting that we get to pick him apart and see all his worst, most private thoughts" :(

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #i didnt want to be annoying with a tag but thank you trinipopkt for the original tag :3 #ive never posted something like this so let me know if i need to tag anything #my writing brain may be struggling rn but you can bet im still over here drawing fuuta 😅👍 #part one was the lil moodboard on main #this also had slight oc connections (my brain was going brrr having a scientist oc) but once again its general to the audience overall #plus i was really proud of the composition/posing/colors i switched to -- i was excited to share!! #it took me like 80 years to pick a composition/pose that worked asdfsadsg #and i had to redo all my coloring and shading because i wanted a more neutral sterile science look than what i originally had #anyway it wasnt my usual type of drawing so it was a lot of fun to see it come together! #i did the first version and my partner said it was mean (and against procedure) to keep him awake #but then the second version felt equally mean :(((( so in conclusion rip fuuta #he is my little bug and i am going to figure out what makes him tick

Y'know what would have really made dbh the sci-fi game it was trying hard to be? If they'd actually tried to discuss what makes artificial intelligence alive. Like we don't know yet, obviously. But they could still speculate

A lot of the characters in Detroit: Become Human speak about being "alive" alot and what it means to be alive but they never really answer it. We only get definitions of the word "alive" that is usually applicable to humans but never one you can apply to a sentient AI with a new perspective on the world. There's also a lot of trying to make androids seem like Humans 2.0.

We also have lines that try to explain why the androids are sentient but the fall very flat and meaningless. Like that "Empathy is a human emotion, Connor. You showed empathy." line. Ok ... so he's showing a "human emotion". Is that really what it means to be alive fr? Showing emotions?

David Cage was too focused on his racism analogy to even bother thinking about "What it actually means for an AI to be alive." so we're left with nothing but inconsistencies.

I believe Kara could have easily being a way to explore that. While the other main characters are pushing the overall plot, Kara's story could have been one about an android discovering the meaning of life for themselves. She already has the potential; even if we hardly see it in the game itself.

Kara is mostly driven by her curiousity and need to experience the world. It's the first thing she feels when she opens her eyes in the tech demo where she's absolutely fascinated by herself and everything around her. In the teaser trailer, she has a similar reaction.

There's a few little moments where she seems to enjoy the world around her. She stops at Rose's house to watch the snow fall and in the Pirate's Cove chapter, she tells Luther she's never seen snow before and it's so pretty.

Because it's already established that Kara would have loved to experience the world, there's a sort of tragedy that she never gets to do it. Especially since it did feel like that was the direction the game was heading in at first.

#am I always going to be thinking about the Kara potential we never had? yes. #also. i woke up this morning and started thinking about dbh all over again #this game will haunt me for the rest of my life apparently #dbh kara #detroit become human #type: text
