#also the side characters are amazing

[bluebeewings]

I love Tom’s duality: he’s a traditional family man can’t cheat on his wife wants a nuclear family “I don’t want a dildo up my ass” “I’m not a hippie” etc etc but then you look to the other side and he’s “I’d castrate you and marry you in a heartbeat” psychosexually obsessed with his wife’s cousin

#mattmac is amazing because he makes both sides of tom dont feel like different characters #just different sides of him #i think this makes tom a more interesting character to me #it feels wacky and fun but also human #we are made of inconsistencies and complexities #we dont always make sense but out feelings are still true #our #succession #tom wambsgans #tomgreg #tomshiv #mine

I just think Hunter was obsessed with Willow and didn't even know it during the period from any sport in a storm to labyrinth runners. They maybe don't talk as often as they could, they're both busy and have conflicting schedules, so when they do talk, Hunter absorbs everything she says.

After roughly 3 weeks of texting (hexting? I feel like the kids would call it hexting), He knows that her favorite colour is orange, she likes her tea with extra milk and a bit of honey during winter, she likes working out to the noisiest angriest music in her playlist, her dad Gilbert is a construction witch who specialises in pottery, she used to listen to breakup songs and think about her childhood best friend (Hunter doesn't know it's Amity) and she actually has a mild pollen allergy despite being a plant witch and has to take potions for it.

He casually drops all this info piece by piece during their stay in the human realm and willows like. Well I can't not marry him. It'll have to be a winter or fall wedding to account for her allergies </3

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #willow park #huntlow #Hunter is often ignored and hides and compartmentalizes his identity in order to survive and be respected = his love language is listening #he doesn't just go quiet around Willow bc he's shy (tho that's definitely a factor) he's also like wow everything you say is amazing #i want to listen to you 24/7 #(Willow realizes this and thinks back to how often she was ignored and isolated- #-and how it made her feel worthless and she's like. i must make him my bride) #i haven't rewatched in a while so i can't exactly tell how much of this is self indulgent and how much is like. actually character accurate #it's in limbo but it feels true to me #we don't know the details of their text exchanges beyond him sending her (presumably) a cute pic of flapjack #I've seen ppl argue that they didn't talk much over text bc she's slightly suspicious of him at first in labyrinth runners #but tbh I've always chalked that up to the general mindfuckery going on at hexside at that time #ergo she couldn't immediately trust that this was actually Hunter until he mentioned something specific about Gus #so i like to imagine it was semi-frequent chatting but i payed lip service to the idea that it wasn't super duper close #playing both sides so I always win etc etc #this is really just a covert way of babbling my willow headcanons

favourite twdg villain?

I'm a fond enjoyer of the St. John's as villains. I don't know if they're my favorite just because they're only in one episode, but I love the concept of this family almost immediately jumping into cannibalism toward the start of the outbreak, dealing in human flesh to bandits, and casually feeding this group their friend's legs.

Like... what the hell was this family like before the outbreak that all three of them were like, "Hey now listen... nothing should go to waste, the dead are eating people so why shouldn't we? We gotta survive and in our defense, we only target those who were gonna die anyway... like y'all."

Dude, Mark was shot in this shoulder with an arrow. He wasn't going to die from that injury. It's so fucked that these seemingly friendly people took the group into their home and then fed them Mark's legs.

If we take the idea that everyone is infected and have the capacity within themselves to become walkers, to become monsters, then the St. John's were infected long before the outbreak, y'know? Not literally, but something was wrong with them and the outbreak just further spread that infection and changed them.

But again, are they my favorite? I dunno if I can say that since I have a lot more appreciation for Lily now. Yeah, some of her writing gets a little wonky in ep3 of TFS when she goes on her monologues and shit, but y'know what? I'm into it.

You have to remember who we're talking about and the fact that she's the antagonist; Lily isn't some anti-hero in TFS who secretly has a heart of gold that's brought to light because she reunited with Clementine... she's a fucked up woman who did fucked up things in the name of survival. She's full of rot now. She sees kidnapping children and turning them into soldiers to protect her home as a means to an end, but she doesn't actually give a shit about the people she's taking. They aren't people to her, they're as the episode title suggests, toys in her game. The only one she sees as a person is Clementine, and while that makes her hesitate at first, she sees Clementine's a prize to bring back.

She remembers what happened in S1; her father had a heart attack and as she tried to save him, Kenny smashed his face in with a saltlick and then expected Lily to just stand up and help him get back to his family because "he did what he had to, he made the hard choice." Yes, Larry was a piece of shit. No one liked him, and you can even question Lily on him and she'll tell you that he has a lot of pain. Yes, it makes him an asshole, but he's still her dad and he's all she has. I mean... the simplification is daddy issues, but in all seriousness, I don't doubt for a second that many of Lily's issues stem from Larry being a shitty father to her.

Then everyone thought she was losing it when she insisted there was a traitor in the group, which she was right about, but she was unstable. She was unwell, but how do you help someone like that when you don't have training to go about it? Then Lily ends up killing either Carley or Doug and the group turns on her, and either she's left behind or she steals the van and runs away.

Then we don't know what the hell happened to her until we see her again in TFS, but like... a lone woman with decay festering inside of her joining the delta? Exposing her to their methods? I mean, what else did she have to lose? She had nothing, she lost everything, and she has a lot of issues. Survival is easy when you're numb, when you don't care about the individual; they're all just cogs churning to make the system run, and if a piece doesn't cooperate, you get rid of it and find a new one.

Plus I think there's something to say about Lily not wanting to be perceived as weak again. That whole display she put on in the cells? Telling the story of what happened to Minerva and Sophie? I get the criticism that it feels like Lily did a 180 between episodes but like... yeah dude, because it's a performance. It's not just her and Clementine anymore. It's a display of power and authority. She's playing the part and thriving in it as she ensures everyone else is terrified of her.

But then when Clementine and AJ get the upper hand? Again, she's not afraid to play up the pleading to earn enough sympathy to spare her- hell, just to let their guard down enough to strike and get the upper hand again. I mean, she's got nothing else to lose, right? If she doesn't go for it, she'll be killed and sure, you can kill her anyway but at least she tried.

Honestly, I look at Lily in TFS and still see that scared little girl playing the tough bitch, just like Carley said in S1. It's just now escalated from "tough bitch" to a downright vile person. She's so... lost? I suppose? Lost within herself and the monstrous means she's taken to survive.

I get the criticisms of how she was used in TFS, but for me, it's like when people complain about Minerva not getting the redemption arc she supposedly should've gotten, y'know? There's no saving her. Lily was never on our side, and there was no getting her on our side. She wasn't ever going to redeem herself. Even if you spare her and she drifts away on her raft, can someone like her actually find redemption? Or will she just find another group that'll feed into her rot?

Truly, I say let her be horrid. Let her be the piece of shit villain with a few fleeting moments of humanity. Let her drown in the blood she's spilled.

#asks #twdg lily #twdg andy st john #twdg danny st john #twdg brenda st john #twdg clementine #twdg minerva #twdg mark #twdg larry #twdg kenny #i know i used to complain about lily in tfs a lot years ago but past cj complained about everything tbh sksksks #now i'm just like babe lily's interesting as shit like not every villain needs a redemption arc just because you think they're hot #and don't wanna feel bad or because you want her to be like she was in s1 when she was sympathetic like... it's been years #that's like being mad that clementine isn't the same person as she was in s1... the difference is we got to see clementine grow #but what happened to lily is a mystery... but that doesn't mean she didn't change especially for the worst #i dunno sometimes i look at lady antagonists in media and then look at people's reactions and i'm like.......... hmmmm #c'mon now- if kenny came back in tfs the same exact way then y'all would be foaming at the mouth insisting he's complex #and morally grey and he's just really sad about his family dying and really he's a sad widdle meow meow but also the best villain #who should be spared because he always cared about clementine and aj and he's just traumatized and sad and amazing unlike OTHERS #like.................... okay sure mmhmmmm #side note but the worst thing about kenny is the fact that he IS a brilliantly written character but his stans tend to just be the worst #anyway i like lily she's a great tfs antagonist like i recognize there are some weak spots and i wish she has more of a presence in ep4 #if she lived but y'know... gotta make room for minerva being the final bridge boss so... yeah

This is random, but imagine the people from Cut Yourself on My Glass Plate and One Bad End is Enough meet.

CYMGP!Cale and OBEE!Cale be staring at each other contemplating the weirdness of the situation.

The hyungs, roksoo(s) would be watching over their dongsaeng while also ignoring everything and just relaxing like everything's normal. (they also be thinking on how their prallel dongsaeng also suffering in another world)

Alberu(s) be regretting their fate as the bad guy together at the side, but CYMGP!Alberu would be envying his other self a little because he got it better.

Same as the others.

And then let's throw in Cale Henituse and His Stupidly Idiotically Powerful Brother.

Our (literally) teen cale be looking at other himselfs in a mess of emotions. He doesnt know whether to be concern or scared to find out about his fate if roksoo isnt here. Yeah he's going to settle on confuse and dont give a fuck on everything else.

The hyung(s) though are discussing quite suspiciously at the side, hmm maybe another scamming plan. (HIS roksoo may have nonchalantly said of going into tboah world to smack that Alberu in the back, which brings on to this vicious discussion)

(Alberu(s) and the others definitely wanted to join too)

Now what if we throw in a young kid!cale, still pure, untainted and a ball of puppy sunshine.

Wonder what would happen?

#Cut Yourself on My Glass Plate #One Bad is Enough #Cale Henituse and His Stupidly Idiotically Powerful Brother #All these fanfic are Amazing! #Lcf Au? #original cale henituse #Krs!Cale #Hmmm crossover? #There's also What About the Side Character #every hyung dongsaeng cale and roskoo are such a gem #Thank you to all these authors for bringing these gems to the world

You know a silly thing I want?

I think that Naomi and Gin should team up and be a non-superpowered version of Soukoku. They're already enemies via being on different sides but more than that....Naomi's intelligence and quick thinking + Gin's almost supernatural skill with knives? That's more soukoku-y than the more fighting-based partnership Akutagawa and Atsushi have.

But even more than that...they are both sisters to powerful members of their organisations, they are both the only significant character-based rather than author-based characters, and they both have that whole illusion/more than they seem thing going on. Also, IRL Akutagawa and IRL Tanizaki bickered or something about literature, didn't they?

Anyway, yeah...it would be cool to me to see them team up....

#its probably not gonna happen BUT IT SHOULD #they are the more fictional of all these fictional people #and partnering up to shake their world would honestly be symbolically cool #like the way characters kind of surpass their author in a sense...though that could also be orv brainrot speaking #and dont kill me for this but if we go by that...then akutagawa dying and then tanizaki dying... #death of the author anyone? #(yeah def orv brainrot infecting my bsd thoughts sorry) #idk i do absolutely love atsushi and weirdly think he deserves more despite being the mc... #...but i also VIOLENTLY want side characters like half of the agency and pm and guild to be explored more #anyway i blame tachiguin for their amazing tanizaki sibs metas #and also orv for the tags.... #and yes with this post i am officially back on tumblr yay! #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd musings #bsd naomi #bsd gin #character analysis #anyway watch as i get attached to this silly desire

Saw spidiverse when it came out Thursday and it went so hard, possibly one of my favorite movies ever, I love everyone in it and I'm excited for next year (I think?) When they release the followup!

That being said. Team chaiflower. It's so cute.

#blue speaks #across the spiderverse #ig? #uh and #chaiflower #might do smth with that #this goes by saying that gwen is absolutely in love with miles just as he is with her make no mistake i love those two #but this is what fanon and fanfic is for #Pavitr is Miles' besties to maybe more ��� in my mind like #u can so easily do the 'you saves and helped me in my time of need so il do the same ive got ur back' and theyre just both so #cute #genuinely got me being like omg the 4 kids can be poly actually heart WARMED but also theyre all amazing platonic besties #the chemistry between actors? IMMACULATE #they genuinely seem like such a neat group all 4 together that they can have any dynamic #which is so hard to pull off with 4 characters w/o it falling a lil flat or one sided #and even if they dont all share the same amount of screen time #they have SUCH an impact on the story and themes and on each other i just #chefs kiss

save me old flipnote studio MVs.......

#im going thru old flipnotes i used to watch years ago and ouggghhg so many good ones #is twenty one pilots still popular.... do people still remember the TRNDSTTER and marble soda meme......... #its like im unlocking some sort of primal part of my brain and everything is coming back to me. one of my biggest inspirations as a kid #i still remember thinking the final transmission lyrics were the coolest thing and watching =TopHat= Bee and Melissa over and over #theres a very specific feeling of longing and nostalgia looking back and watching these again years later #especially when there isnt anything genshin or mcyt and instead its either fnaf undertale eddsworld or another obscure #interest... and not even fnaf sister location its like fnaf 3 and 2. its THAT old. and a lot of oc MVs especially pokemon ocs and furries.. #god but they were so creative u know. i still find it amazing ppl took this little lightbox animation on the fucking NINTENDO DS and #cranked it all the way to 11.. like if u look at the transitions and movement its so fucking fluid its insane..!! HOW DO YOU MAKE THE #CHARACTERS SPIN??? AND CHANGING CAMERA ANGLES??? and keep in mind youre doing this all with a shitty stylus #on a THREE BY TWO INCH SCREEN. you only get two layers you can go up to 29FPS and you only have 999 slides to work with #and 24FPS eats up a lot of that. absolutely insane it literally boggles my mind every time i think about it. AND SOME ARE EVEN FULL COLOR #i forgot how popular EDM was back then too...they were really good for timing beats though so you get a lot of MVs with #strobe last and marble soda. porter robinsons goodbye to a world was also popular with undertale and oc MVs. also a lot of vocaloid #someone made a flipnote abt the warner bros fnaf movie being announced EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO. it even used the stay calm audio from #the office.... i wonder how theyre doing now... i love you shitty grainy MV audio.. but i have mixed feelings abt the flashing colors #ppl LOVED animating the sans vs frisk fight. aishite and primadonna were also big ones they were SICK AS FUCK #lots of these inspired my old oc designs.. a lot of my characters had side bangs with one eye covered. animal ears and simple eyes too #now i kinda wanna try my hand at the marble soda meme cause i loved it as a kid lol.. i wonder if i should compare my old and new art here #UGHHHH IM SO NORMAL ABOUT NOSTALGIA.

My unpopular opinion is that TGCF is the weakest out of all MXTX books (maybe because she didn’t get to edit it until recently unlike the other two). I still love it and it’s an amazing piece of work but as a narrative, its structure is not as strong as the other two (though I think TGCF is stronger in other regards)

#mdzs is strongest obviously #it has the most consistent story and flows the best #one problem tgcf has (which pains me to call a problem) #is too much focus and information on side-characters #ofc everyone including me loves that we know so much of everyone and got so much of them #but looking at it through narrative lens it ends up making the story messier #mdzs also has a lot of side characters but they feel balanced according to their role #like imagine if we got as much information on nhs nmj jzx oyzz ljy and all the other obscure side characters as we did for jgy and xy #that’s tgcf #which i love because all the characters are so complex and very dear to my heart (I don’t think i disliked a single one) and their parallels #but argubly we didn’t need them all (even though I wouldn’t change it because i like having them all) #don’t get me wrong it’s still an amazing novel and i enjoyed it a lot #and it’s not fair to judge it because it’s unedited #but i think it’s worth talking about #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #mxtx

Man. May I just say. I love how in this game it’s like “you have four suitors and three of them are the most repulsive men on the planet then you have this really energetic guy who wants you to step on him if he does anything bad BUT he’s trying his best”.

#variable barricade #nayuta yagami #i love this boy so much but oh my god he has so many issues he needs to work on #like thats literally every suitor but they are so slimy and then you get NAYUTA THE PUPPY #hi its not my fault the suitors have a rose color and i happen to fall for the guy with the orange rose its really not #honestly this game has such great designs hhhhhhhhhhhhhh #the art is so good for it i love how everyone looks #i havent touched this game in a while but i was thinking about it the other day like dang kinda wanna go back and try more #bc i have never played another otome where the protag is like damn talking to this guy makes me wanna vomit #she has so far stood her ground well against the repulsive suitors imo but again i am not far #please game dont make her cave too soon do not let her swoon too fast im begging you #also her female bff is a delight and i love her a lot #otome that put women side characters in it that are likeable are so amazing thank you for this gift variable barricade #also this is in fact a line of dialogue from the game and im like son what is wrong with you i love you so much #the heroine is thankfully just as put off with it

Welcome to Mangrove Island Pokemon Sanctuary!

A poke-ask blog set on the beautiful Mangrove Island! This island is home to a plethora of endemic life, this island is mostly untouched by humans. There is one building on the island, a old research station.

The sanctuary was established by Professor Mangrove, a specialist in rare and mythical Pokémon, when he bought the island sixty years ago. He believed the tropical island was prime habitat for the Pokémon Mew, despite no records of the rare Pokémon on the island. Despite his extensive records and notes of the flora and fauna on the island, there are no official records of Mew.

Currently, the island is owned and inhabited by Professor Mangrove’s great granddaughter, Top Ranger Alex and her partner, Gale.

All characters are currently available for asks!

Important character notes:

Rosa and Ryo are the biological parents of the triplets Mito, Kami, and Aura, and Mewa is adopted.

Which NPCs besides Link and Zelda will be most important in the story in your au?

Oooooo, this is a really great question

Most important? Well, definitely Mipha, since one of Zelda's internal conflicts is feeling like she had robbed Mipha of her chance to be with Link due to the whole arranged marriage.

And by that extension, King Rhoam as well. I want to also resolve's Zelda's conflict with her father in this one as well, but I may be biting off more than I can chew, but we will see

#ooo this was a good question thank you! #this is also when I realized I really have no clue about this au since a story is only as good as its side characters as well #but thank you for the ask! I'll definitely have to think more on this one #the ladye answers #amazing stormy!!! #aoc arranged marriage au

tbh more people need to understand that kaitos (internalized) homophobia is part of what makes oumota so damn fun.

#mostly bc ive always found the trope of homophobic gay character super funny. the comedic potential alone is amazing shjnvffggh #but i also love the more serious side of this #like exploring the thought processes and what lead to it and then also what does it take to break this pattern of thinking #generally i wish kaitos bad traits were less sanitized in the fandom #but i also get just. not wanting to think about it. sometimes u just want smth less.. emotionally taxing? idk #oumota
