Nine again. She’s been on the mind for uhhh reasons

Godfrey got kicked out on a quest to kill a clone of his toxic mother in law and definitely not develop fatherly feelings about this living weapon who is also a clone of his mother in law

#my art #I need a blackwells tag #house blackwell #oc stuff #it's so funny how much nine resembles [other girl I've been drawing] in both appearance and personality #given that nine is a few years older than that and originally descended from a completely different video game woman dfbhd #anyway I'll write out more of their actual story some day. It lives in my brain #nine

#doubly funny because I’m pretty sure Johnny is canonically older than Pete by like a few months to a year #sci talks comics #at least that seems to be the general consensus in fanon but I actually don’t know if it’s based on anything in canon #save for the fact that Johnny got his powers before peter does. does that mean anything? hey comic nerd side of tumblr #do we know if Johnny is canonically older. I need experts on this immediately. #I think I’ll always hc Johnny as older it feels right. #it’s also another thing for peter to be slightly mad about for no real reason.

thinking about alexander longing for something to be a part of hamilton & and nina you are gonna change the world someday rosario, but also about my past & my future & i feel like i can finally see... the light?

#no i don't have a plan #no i have no idea where i'm going #but i have... ideas? #last couple weeks have been horrible to me but i feel like i've also learned a lot about myself & who i am & who i've always been #it's crazy to think that i may actually find the answer #it's all still so unclear #i don't know where i'm going yet #but i am going #and just a few days ago i was like #i can't move the mountains i can't make the flowers bloom i can't take another night up in my room waiting on a miracle #but today i am very much like #i would move the mountains make new trees & flowers grow someone please just let me know where do i go i am waiting on a miracle #i am ready come on i'm ready #(and that someone is me) so like #full of hope #for some reason #and what's crazy about it is that i've been inspired by so many things & people #my friend who's older than me went to college this year #maybe it's not too late for me #my prison gang is always so supportive & i love them so much they have no idea #my sister who's always proud of me no matter what #all those people who believe in me even if they don't even know me (i am also talking about you daisy anon you actually gave me some ideas) #my other irl friends #and music and musicals and art and... lin #oh wow this is so chaotic #but like... everything that's around me makes me feel much stronger than i've ever been #and i know i can find the right path & change my life #i will find my thing & maybe it's even closer than i think #talking shit for the hell of it*

when people who like seasons 1 and 2 better explain why it was better they always lose me when they say "the characters were what mattered the most the supernatural plot was basically not that important it was ALL about the characters" like...that's just what YOU were more interested in not what was happening in the show? like wdym the supernatural plotline wasn't that important in seasons 1 and 2. saying that it was more balanced or more subtle i get but saying that the supernatural plot wasn't THAT important and that it's not what made anyone love the show is a blatant lie

#and like i say: brf slt #and i've seen people say this many times on many occasions i'm not even exaggerating. or making anything up #and i've been saying this for. a year and a half. minus two months. when volume 1 came out someone tweeted 'what the duffers fail to #understand is that no one watches st because they care about the russians or whatever. people watch st to see a ragtag group of kids be #nice to each other! to see a lesbian and a man with nice hair be friends!' and i said i agree with this at like 60% the 60% being ofc that #i hate the russia stuff we know this. but like. as much as i like the relationships between the characters if there's no life-threatening #things going on for more than a few dozen minutes...then i don't really care like that would be another show. (this has been a constant #i was not as into the show or the characters as i am now when i said that like volume 1 was my first time watching the show #since 2019. and it's a constant because it's still true) like that's literally what fanfic is for. or other shows. #and plenty of people watch stranger things for the russians or whatever i was actually surprised when people were ranking the subplots i #saw quite a lot of people put russia in their top 2 i was stunned. it was mostly older people older people meaning anyone who was 22 in #the past. i'm kidding but like idk people who were like 40+ and also guys? idk. like there's actually an audience for that my bad you guys #(not my bad i will always be a russia in st anti. because i hate it.) #my point is. no that was actually it. i just don't get it wdym people don't like the STORY plenty of people do. in the fandom especially i #totally get focusing more on the characters and being more interested in that i literally never talk about the supernatural plot and i #really like the characters yk and i understand when people say that they enjoyed the distribution between character things and supernatural #plot things in s1-2 more but saying that the supernatural stuff was like an afterthought and that no one actually cares or cared ever and #that it was never important is? like i get where they're coming from but also...no #and i get doing the 'if you don't take it as literally the monsters and supernatural plot things mean this and that for real life and for #the characters' i think it's very fun but like. if you don't like the genre and ignored it for the characters...?that's not really on them #i worded this like my joyce and bob post from july i hope you like it. the first sentence only #wait i actually didn't. just realized. false advertising sorry #saying this as someone who likes seasons 1 and 2 better too that goes without saying

I think the funny thing about my being a youth leader is that I basically just Hang Out with a bunch of middle schoolers. like I just pal around with them and play games and then sit down and ramble at the youth pastor when it's time to discuss the Biblical topic of the night and somehow this has charmed like half a dozen of them into considering me A Cool Person despite the fact that I'm actually Introverted And Awkward at all times

#actually part of my goal in youth leadership is to show that like... you don't HAVE to be all together and chill #like when I was in youth group (briefly bc I was only in a location where it was an option for like 6 months tbh) #all the youth leaders — especially the female ones — seemed so Cool and Calm and Put Together ALL THE TIME #and it made me (frumpy and 16 and trying so hard to make friends) feel REALLY inadequate and insecure #and like I still have to work through the insecurity that caused in me!! bc the girls a few years older than me #who were youth leaders all seemed so CALM and RESPECTABLE and MATURE #and I STILL don't act like that! and I'm certainly not cool and calm and put together skskfndksnf #so I just want to like... not hide my awkwardness too much with these kids. not try to project Coolness or Looking Put Together #because I want them to see that like... they're fine just how they are? I want to be an example of what it looks like #when you're NOT the naturally calm and organized kind of person! when you're Awkward and Loud and Goofy and Hyper sometimes #because if you're following God then that stuff really doesn't matter. He made us a certain way and that's fine #idk. I think about this every so often again though akdkdkfnsk #Lu rambles

[sholmeser]

the one L i do think dgs takes is the way that it writes kazuma and susato’s relationships with their dads and each other because like. i obviously think that they love each other so much but they would be a little complicated at LEAST. especially on kazuma’s end

like please please think about it. susato’s mother dies and yuujin leaves her immediately after, choosing to flee his feelings instead of facing them at her side. he spends the most important years of her life halfway across the world; he misses her first word, her first steps, her first laugh. kazuma bade genshin farewell when he was eight years old and never saw him again. and yet the games make them out to be these perfect kids who idolize their dads. when the professor case happened and yuujin came home, susato was six. genshin dies a fucking murderer an ocean away and kazuma is FOURTEEN. and then kazuma goes to live with the mikotobas, and i just can’t accept that his feelings towards them weren’t extremely complicated. they took him in and he’s grateful for that and yet yuujin still made it home alive where genshin did not. they show him love and care and he feels happy there and yet susato still has her father and he does not.

if i was fourteen fucking years old and my dad died like genshin did, i wouldn’t fucking think of avenging him with a blade infused with centuries of rage and passion. i would be sad and angry. because my dad died. my dad died and he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit. my dad died and they sent him to the gallows thousands and thousands of miles from where he should have been. where he should have been with me. my dad died and he left me for that place and he never came home. and i would blame him for that, too.

#he hates his dad he loves his dad more than anyone he blames him for leaving he just wants to see him again. u get it #i think susato wouldn’t really start to think of yuujin differently until shea older #and she thinks Hey. its actually a little fucked up that my dad missed the entire first six years of my life #so i think they would talk a lot about that when she gets older #maybe a few years after resolve #ace attorney #kazuma asougi #susato mikotoba #02

[nerdy-hyperfixations]

I think my funniest headcanon about TMA is the reason Jon lied about being 38 when he was 28 was not because everyone already assumed he’s older (honestly that sounds like a lie anyway), but because he heard that Martin was older then him and he didn’t like that. Also my headcanon for the age Martin lied about being was 21 when he was 16, making him 34 when he was actually 29.

Basically on Martin’s birthday someone asked how old he was turning and he was like “oh- uh, 34 😅” and Tim said “woah, really? Damn, you look so much younger then that. I mean, isn’t that even older than Jon?” And Jon coughed very loudly and interrupted, “I’m actually 38.”

#the magnus archives #tma #jonathan sims #jon sims #martin blackwood #Jon couldn’t handle being younger than Martin #Martin adds 5 years to his age and Jon decides hes 10 years older suddenly #it’s too bad he’s still younger than him without either of them lying about their ages #by a few months at most but still #Martin had his birthday first so #obviously Jon must be younger #anyway this has plagued my mind since I heard Jon’s birthday party #ngl I’ve written this post probably 5 times in different ways and then decided not to post them #idk why #probably because I’m worried about someone coming in and going #‘um actually that makes no sense. 21 is too young to get an archiving job you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about’ #which tbf is true I have no idea how old you have to be to get an archival job #I’m literally 16 with no intentions to go into that field #so sure if you wanna correct me go off I guess

In TFA it’s not exactly clear how long the war lasted and how old the cons are. What do you think?

The show itself may be ambiguous, but the Almanac is not!

As you can see here, the Decepticon faction splitered from the Destrons 70 million stellar cycles ago, and Megatron usurped Megazarak 14 million stellar cycles ago. So really, it's anyone's guess between that timeframe how old the Cons we know today are. Personally, though, I think Blitzwing is the youngest out of High Command, not counting Blackarachnia.

#it's a personal headcanon of mine that past a certain few million years age becomes less... relevant #like. Starscream is actually older than Shockwave by a few centuries but doesn't have the Old Man Energy Shocks does #I went trawling through BOTH almanacs to find this single page y'all better be grateful #asks #tf #tfa

Old Fart

Why do so many people say Freddino doesn’t look his age? I’m sorry but he definitely does look like a man in his sixties. Now more than ever since he is approaching his seventies. I find it’s the new, younger fans who say that. I mean when you’re 14 or 17 then anyone who’s older is just old so it doesn’t matter what age they are. It’s the whole “everyone who is 30 is old” teenager cliché.

Here he looks so old. Wrinkles and eyes (notice the Angie Tribeca jumper lol):

Here too:

And here? OMG instant dad. Or grandpa for some:

[worstloki]

i think my favourite version of thor and loki's powers are that loki while born with a lot of magic needs to learn how to tap in and use it, hence the centuries of studying it to do so efficiently, while thor was born with a lot of it and needs to learn how to turn it off - which he doesn't, and gets Mjolnir for it instead. all of this innate magic starts to actually manifest around puberty tho for the sole purpose of comedy.

#i'd say loki stabbing thor at age 7/8 doesn't work because of puberty but kids start growing hair around then so it could #but also this way we don't have out of control magical babies #ya dig? #Loki being a few years younger than Thor and looking up to his bro who does lightning ~magic~ #Thor like it's not magic!!!!! it's power and that is completely different !!! 😓 and Loki is like 6 going no it's magic 😠 #Loki thinking his magic is going to be like Thor's and be vaguely blue or like lightning or rain or something #and then it's GREEN and he's slightly disappointed... but hey Frigga's is green and she jokes she shared her magic with him #Thor's magic coming ready-made as lightning while Loki's is just plain magic that needs to be given some direction is funny tho #Thor wearing red because he doesn't embrace his blue magic and doesn't want people to associate him with it #(using mjolnir makes it different to actually *using magic* because it's being channeled through something I guess?) #Loki wearing green because he does embrace his green magic and sees it as cool and something Thor and he share #hmmm that'll probably be important when they're older #anyway huge fan of Thor losing Mjolnir and Thor having issues making his lightning work properly after that #like he's got no practice in starting or stopping the magic and his body isn't used to channeling ANY of it #it's like puberty all over again except he's way too old for it and Loki is laughing
