#Unlike these other four

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

I just realize you're the only person who point out that Felix and Kagami would be just as in the wrong for hiding the truth from Adrien. Most people I know puts the blame entirely on Marinette and like yeah, I get it it's really bad she would keep something like that a secret from her boyfriend but at the same time how do you deal with that big of a burden?

If it were up to me, I'd make her deal with it the same way like in the Dragon Prince with how Rayla tries to tell Callum and Ezran about their dad being dead but idk, maybe it's not the same with Adrien so it's unfair.

I'm just irritated at people who blame Marinette just cuz she's her gf and not at the adults like Nathalie or Amelie, Marinette's a child, what about Felix and Kagami? They care about Adrien too right?

Yep, it's somehow all Marinette's fault even though Felix knew for all of season five. He knew before then, too, but at least you could argue that he was fearing for his life in previous seasons. As soon as he got the peacock? No excuse. Especially since he got the peacock by trading away Adrien's freedom. A thing he arguably didn't even need to do since I don't think anyone believes that Gabriel would have said, "No" to only getting all of the miraculous. Felix just offers up the ring without even waiting for Gabriel to ask for it. A master negotiator this boy is not.

To add even more insult to injury, season five gives Felix a subplot about informing freaking Kagami and faking her amok. A girl he literally just met gets the treatment that Felix arguably owes to Adrien after all the shit Felix has put him through. You can't even argue that Felix did it because Tomoe isn't a threat on the scale of Gabriel. She's literally a co-conspirator in season five and Felix knows that because Kagami wouldn't be a sentimonster if Tomoe wasn't involved. And Tomoe has always been written as far more hands-on than Gabriel when it comes to controlling her kid, so this isn't even a case of Felix picking the easier target. He doesn't care about easy targets or subterfuge since he, you know, kidnaps Kagami in front of her mother?

But does anyone in the fandom seem to acknowledge that? No and I really don't get it. If hate must be assigned to a character and not the writers, then Felix deserves so much more hate than Marinette.

Kagami isn't innocent either. She knew the truth for about half of the season and yet she doesn't seem to care about telling Adrien. At the same time, she's fine outing Ladybug's secret identity and fine telling Marinette everything, none of which is done in the name of justice. Kagami does it all for purely selfish reasons. To me, this was as much of a character assassination as the whole Kagami believing Lila thing even though Kagami should know the truth about Lila after the Oni-chan incident (Lila faking the kissing picture and texting it to Adrien's contacts).

Then there's Nathalie. In my opinion, Nathalie's redemption is a joke and one of the key reasons for that is how little she cares about actually saving Adrien. At no point does she tell him the truth even though she knows she's dying. She could have very easily died much sooner than the final, leaving Adrien to obey Gabriel's commands, never knowing that he was being controlled. She doesn't even try to find someone else to guard Adrien's ring. She just maintains the status quo and pretends that everything is fine while occasionally asking Gabriel to pretty please change his mind and think of Adrien? Please?

Lady, you literally pinned this man to a table at the start of the season and you are his second in command. You know all his secrets. You have access to everything. You have the power to take him down. You have the power to save Adrien. You are an awful, awful mother figure who put Gabriel's wants above Adrien's needs right up to the very end. Did you even think you had a chance to fire that cross bow or was this just another, "I'm totally helping" feel good moment to assuage your guilty conscious before you died?

And Amelie. Oh, Amelie. If you hate what Colt did to your son, then why are you idly standing by while Gabriel does the same thing to your nephew? You know that Felix has the peacock, so he's safe from being snapped. Why aren't you encouraging him to help Adrien? Or, if you want to keep protecting Felix, then why don't YOU go to Ladybug and Chat Noir and tell them that Gabriel is behind everything? Surely you have to know that Felix isn't safe as long as Gabriel has all those miraculous, right? Gabriel knows that you and your son know everything. A terrorist knows that you're a chink in his armor. Why aren't you terrified by that?

In summary: yeah, Marinette should tell Adrien. It's totally fair to be mad at her. But dear God, she should never have been put in a position where she needed to tell him because one of these four should have done it long before the end of season five! The fact that Marinette was put in this position in the first place is terrible, nonsensical, illogical writing. So go ahead and be mad at Marinette, but you sure as shit better be just as mad at the people who knew everything and did nothing, leaving a teenage girl to face it all alone while bearing the safety of the world on her shoulders.

did you know that coo is canonically lonely? {shipaganza prompt by @veveisveryuncool}

#my art #my comics #starstruck dee #coo kirby #🎀💖 #i think it would be hard being nocturnal when all your friends are diurnal and go to sleep early! i think it WOULD be lonely #in my headcanons waddle dees generally tend to go to bed early. like many other things about her starstruck's an outlier in that regard #she's often up at night stargazing when she can't sleep; but she is also the sort to tucker out suddenly and crash #also i think that coo CAN have a cozy little tree hollow with amenities! and stairs; so that his non-winged friends can visit anytime! #and the important one: is this canon to her storyline? not sure. i think... unlikely. but even if it was it might be a bit one-sided. #he's unlikely to confess to her (awake) face and she's dense as lead. you need to be really upfront with her or you'll get nowhere. #anyway. did i do it?? is this 💝Rhomance💝? #what if i wrote a four and a half page comic where coo the owl pined over my oc?? could anybody stop me? i think not! #“romantic comic about an owl and a circle” <- another banger comment left by veve and i think it about sums it up

support group for my ocs who keep finding themselves stuck in timeloop adjacent horror stories

#my ocs #my art #Bunny is the only TRUE horror timelooper here #Melon's is more like she keeps getting isekai'd into new worlds against her will but she meets a lot of the same people across universes #Danny man made that timeloop on purpose but also her genre is more light unlike Bunny and Melon who are in sort of never ending hellscapes #Anita isnt in a timeloop but she is trapped in a void in time where she keeps getting repeating flashes of other time periods and places #so it winds up feeling a little like a timeloop #interesting how three out of four of these characters are magical girls

started thinking really hard about one the other day for some reason

#i odnt feel like talking but im just gonna say if they turn out like my perception of them in my head oh man. i might have a 5th favourite #also i LOVR the idea of them having a way more clearly alien appearance compared to the other algebraliens #both bc of them being isolated unlike the others we know who r either in the playground or with the objects #and also bc they just . like the way they look n dont want to change to appear less threatening to objects #which is what four two and x did #but ididnt feel like coming up with and putting all the alien features n extra limbs and stuff here rn #they’re so cool dude…… moon alien……………..augh #battle for dream island #x finds out his value #bfdi #bfb #tpot #xfohv #bfdi one #xfohv one #tpot one #odieart

as a multishipper it’s so weird to me seeing takes like “zolu (or sanuso) have so much in canon but zosan not really so ofc zsn shippers just see them as hot or smth but there’s nothing more” and others like it. first of all… thats a weird hill to die on. since when does canon basis makes one ship superior to the other. second of all: some people just don’t enjoy having everything already established and served on a silver plate. i love zolu with all my heart, they are wonderful and perfect in a lot of ways and interpretations. but what also clicks for me in a special way (and why i can’t let zosan go since i was 16, even tho they’re very much not a priority anymore) is thinking what would it take characters that incompatible fall in love. how would it happen. how would they behave and deal with it and be stupid but also vulnerable in a lot of ways. how would this develop and change them and their worldview. its fascinating! its cool when things are pretty much established in canon and two characters are written like each other’s half but. it’s so much fun to make it difficult and make it a journey. the conclusion is always so satisfying.

so no, zosan is not just “they hate fuck and its cool”

its being incompatible and messy and weird and angry but also trusting each other and respecting each other in so many ways. it’s “you know the worst of me but you still here and i trust you with my life” and also rethinking their view on love and

it’s not for everyone, sure, but it’s not so hard to accept other people’s taste and way of thinking instead of demeaning it or making it a weirdest competition. it’s not. (especially when it’s about literally two of the most popular ships on fandom lmao)

#one piece #zosan #roronoa zoro #black leg sanji #welcome to my random ramblings #i just see a lot of discourse lately and it makes me sad #i have like four and a half favourite zoro ships and also adore sanuso way more then zosan #but that attitude like im better then you because my thing is better in canon is kind of petty #and makes me personally wary and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #most zl enjoyers are usually very nice though i love you all #unlike some other fans……. but well #i just think we would be more powerful together and not divided

the green lanterns pulling up to an official heroes event of some sort dressed up like this, all thinking they’re gonna drip with style only to find out they are all several decades behind in fashion and cultural awareness

i cannot stress enough that this is not for a joke. they are all four convinced they are wearing the height of fashion and everyone will find them dashing only to have the truth slapped in their face: they are way, way behind

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Okay so I've been eating your art for a few days? Weeks? Months? Ever since I found you through my Welcome Home hyperfixation help it has me in it's death grips and just, admiring all the details you put into your pieces?

Like, I can't tag every little detail I come across and like from what you post, because I would be too distracting from the contents of the post and my gushing and speculating derived from that alone, but I see and like them even if I don't say too much about it.

For instance, don't think I didn't see the grime at the edges of Frank's frown and mouth in your Lights Out AU post! It is such a small detail to notice, but it really sells the idea of the puppets becoming grimy, scruffy, and dirtier as time goes on and they are stuck in the dark with little to nothing to clean themselves. I feel like it is most noticeable with their hair, as my gosh do they all need a hair brush by the time we see the group interactions of the unlikely four, but I enjoy seeing their disheveled selves as they try to go through life in the dark. While I won't pick up on every little detail, the stuff I do see is really interesting a think about, that you didn't need to add it but you did because you enjoyed making it l, and it's pretty heartwarming in a way for me you know?

Anyways, as a fellow artist, it's both cool and concerning because I get the gist of how much time and energy it can take to make stuff! I enjoy and adore your art and thoughts a ton, just remember to take care of yourself and not to push too hard on yourself to make stuff! Stretch and drink water, etc etc etc, and remember there are always people who will like what you make, be it dragons, welcome home stuff, and oc thingies!

AH IM

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO NICE!!! MY STUNTED EMOTIONS CANT HANDLE IT!!!! no but seriously i had to take a break reading this to walk through my house and Simmer Down bc man... the reaction pic is accurate.... i made Several dying animal noises!

i'm beyond happy that the details are being Noticed and are Enjoyable! i like to include as many as i can (when i Think of them, which happens less often than i'd like). i rarely have it in me to scribble Full Things, so i try to make up for it with the little things! it seems to be working, yippee! and it Is fun to include them, yeah <3

you take care of yourself as well! actually, get some water as soon as you read this. All Of Ya's. im takin a hefty sip rn so you all better get hydrated with me. no diedrating on this blog no sirree!! but yes um thank you so much for the very kind ask! mentally i am printing it out and pinning it to my wall! i will be thinking about it every time i Add Little Details!

#also pls dont hold back in the tags on my account or others #they are Lifeblood <3 #plus i just like to hear other people's thoughts!!! and id love to hear What You See And Get Out Of It! #& who knows you might even inspire something #tagged comments can do wonders yk yk #you would not be distracting In The Least <3 #rambles from the bog #also i like that title... The Unlikely Four... i will be referring to that group as such from now on! #and i Will say... the grime on frank's mouth is Grime but its not exactly natural.... #also hello! i dont think ive said that yet! #i recognize you from my notifs! you're one of the regulars whom i see and mentally tip my hat to whenever i catch sight of your icon #& i cannot help you. wh has me in its grip as well #none of us are getting out! yippee yahoo hawyee!

[ilkkawhat]

no no but really, now that i'm already three drinks in tonight and just feel like sharing, there is just something about the koskela commercials that add to this weird sense of nostalgia when I play aw2, added in with just the general beautiful scenery, listening to the pat maine radio show and hearing filth by national nightmare in that early part of the game...it just makes bright falls feel like home in a way that i never quite expected, esp given that i never played any remedy verse game, let alone alan wake (though like many things i get utterly obsessed with, i was at one time exposed to it i think during the peak of my twin peaks hyperfixation), and to just have that much of a connection to a game i got into literally at the end of november (the 23rd of 2023 to be precise) and maybe it's just because i have been so desperate for an escape and that's what this game gave me and not just that, it has inspired me so much to the point where i'm fucking drawing again--something that i was like traumatically discouraged from at a much too early age--and giffing and making graphics and writing when i swore i never would again...just fuck man. i feel like i have a few "cornerstone" pieces of media that have impacted me on such a highly personal level to the point where they might even change me a little but this....alan wake, remedy-verse, ilkka, all of that is just......something special

#probably helps that i relate to alan on many levels and unlike some of my other faves...it's like i can idk recover with him in a way? #someone who's fully aware of his flaws and has imposter syndrome and depression and all of that #oh oh OH and then there's saga's part in the dark place which #also just...affects me #i have cried all four times i played that segment #especially when she reads that note from her mom #and again while it's an attempt for me to escape i think it's also an attempt for me to just...try to be better to myself? #cause really am i escaping reality or escaping myself #alan wake 2 #alan wake #mk.op

Felt like making a tier list so bam here it is.

I know that this is probably gonna be controversial but to me I love every character but in the end I guess this is mainly how much I think about them or just like them.

#milgram #Amane is objectively the best character btw #Also idk why but I feel as I’ve been reduced to just some low person for making this from seeing the tier list fights in other fandoms #Idk how to word it #But it’s funny how with milgram unlike other fandoms I can so easily think about every character #Usually in other fandoms I may have one or maybe two characters I just obsessively hyperfixiate on and forget about everyone else #But it’s so nice with milgram I can love everyone #And even having four comfort characters is something that’s only happened here #Kinda excluding mikoto from the comfort character list as he’s only in s because being a John fan I have to think about him a lot lmao #I find it funny how on first glance Haruka would probably be one of those characters I hyperfixiate over #But I can’t just think about him enough compared to other characters idk why #Even though amane is my favorite character picking between her and John feels like picking a favorite child #I’m sorry John but Amane is just soooooo interesting in literally every aspect #And characters like her are really rare to see in media especially portrayed in such a good way

🧡

🧡🧡🧡 ask me for unpopular opinions

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

This is wracking my brain bc it feels like most of the theories i see double as character interpretations or are like, baked DEEPLY in pre-Calamity lore I am only beginning to grasp. But I would say the theory that Predathos will successfully eat all the gods and then move on to eating mortals too. Not only does the vision Evontra'vir showed the Hells suggest the gods will leave Exandria and Predathos will give chase if its released, but also. If you are living on a diet of prime rib steaks, you are not going to start eating ants the instant you run out. It is not worth your time. You will go to the store.

#pinkieroy #ty!! #crposting #asks #ask game #and as for where predathos would find other god meat; i find it highly unlikely that those are the only god-level powers in the universe #esp given that like four different powers of that level are connected to Exandria ALONE rn

[stiltonbasket]

curious anon here! I've noticed that you usually have nielan (in canon-verse setting) living apart part time instead of staying together all the time, and would really love to hear your thoughts behind that decision.

Hi anon! To be honest, I just can't see either Lan Xichen or Nie Mingjue leaving their respective sects for more than a few months at a time. Plus, I feel that neither of them would do particularly well as permanent members of each other's clans; and they do get to spend two months out of every three together, so they make it work. :)

#asks #nielan #something I also think about is that nielan stilton style are too obsessed with each other to get ANY work done when they're together #unlike wangxian who can balance family time with night-hunting and inventing and so on #nmj literally can't focus on anything but lxc and their kids when they're together #and vice versa #they NEED those four months apart in order to be productive

at first i was going to make an argument for mirage having a more compelling story about growing mistrust in the assassins than rogue but then i realised. ac has done the 'losing trust in your mentor' plot like ten times

#assassin's creed #missives #from memory: ac1 ac3 rogue and unity #i do love though that mirage (unlike each of the other four excluding rogue) takes the route of 'stays an assassin but also not quite' #and has to be tracked by rayhan to keep him in check #and shows all the other assassins (especially roshan) as genuinely very well meaning but unintentionally causing harm #and having that arrogance of knowing better however far below the surfacr #contrasted with rogue where everyone is cartoonishly evil and unlikeable for no reason and shay does his huge 180 #ac mirage
