#because she’s in their age range

[dinklebat]

HOLY SHIT YALL

TWST fandom, I’m gonna need y’all to stick with me. I just watched Descendants: The Royal Wedding (because I binged the whole series with my friends to review it) and I need to talk about it.

At the end of the animation, Mal says (paraphrasing) that this is her happy ending, but another story could just be beginning. Then it pans over to a bunch of roses painted red and a rabbit hole (to wonderland). 

Look, my sister and I often joke about “what if Malleus was Mal’s son”, but… I’m sorry- did they just close the series with an allusion to the story continuing in wONDERLAND? Perhaps even a tWISTED wonderland??

I mean I know Yana Toboso admitted to being inspired by Descendants. I’m crying and screaming and yelling right now. I’ve been strongly arguing that TWST is just Descendants but better- but what if - AAAA 

#I can’t find anything about Disney explaining this scene #I know that Alice has a daughter in the miniseries + books but it seems weird for it to be a reference to her #because she’s in their age range #brb gotta make fan art of this #descendants #shitpost #twisted wonderland #TWST #malleus draconia #except wtf why was Mal’s last name bERTHA??? #also yes I know this is 99% probably a coincidence but it’s really really funny to me #in other words #ITS JUST A THEORY #A GAME- *gets assassinated*

Knightfall in Dream Land - Page 6

Meta Knight begins his long fall to Popstar’s surface and passes by some familiar faces on the way down.

#Kirby #Kirby fanart #my art #comic #Meta Knight #Dark Meta Knight #Sailor Dee #Taranza #sorry it took me so long to finish this page but it’s finally done #I hope that the title of the comic makes sense to everyone now #I called it Knightfall in Dream Land because the knight fell into Dream Land lmao #the parts of the comic set in the present are occurring around the time of Return to Dream Land #so the gang hasn’t met Taranza yet and isn’t aware of Floralia’s existence #but since Meta has a long fall to the surface I’d imagine he’d probably crash through Floralia on the way down and pass by the mirror #I tend not to give specific ages/age numbers to Kirby characters in my fanart/fan AU #the first reason for this is that different characters probably age at different rates since they’re different species #and the second reason for this is that I don’t see years between game releases equating to years passing for the characters #I mean just look at Adeleine she’s still a kid in Star Allies even though that was released almost two decades after Crystal Shards lmao #instead of giving characters specific ages I headcanon them as being in certain age ranges #so in the present Kirby Bandee and Sailor are all kids (and Bandee and Sailor are a bit older than Kirby) #I also see characters like Gooey Adeleine and Ribbon as being kids too #while characters like Taranza Susie Magolor Marx and the Mage Sisters are young adults #and characters like Meta Knight Dedede Daroach Captain Vul and Hyness are older adults #but in the parts of the comic set in the past Meta Knight and Dedede are young adults and Taranza is a kid #and Kirby and the Dees are babies #the older spiders shown here with Taranza and Sectonia are OCs of mine who are their mothers #their names are Lady Theraphoza (Taranza’s mom) and Queen Rachnia (Sectonia’s mom) #I’m giving Taranza some backstory since HAL refuses to tell us anything about him except he’s sad about Sectonia lmao #this post has too many tags but maybe I’ll make a separate post with my Spider Lore

I looked up the age of the child actors for young Xiao Lanhua (Xiyun) and Dongfang Qingcang because I thought that would be indicative of what their canon ages at the time should be.

Xiao Lanhua’s was eleven when the show filmed, which yeah that tracks. I always imagined her as 10-11 when she was sealed away.

But bb DFQC’s was also eleven, and wow if that isn’t the most excruciating thing I’ve ever heard. Eleven!! When he survived endless torture and was forced to kill his own father!! When he was put on the throne. He wasn’t even a preteen yet. I hate it so much.

#love between fairy and devil #I know it isn’t like ‘wow explicitly canon he’s eleven now’ but I assume they meant him to be in an age range of a couple years max #otherwise they would have cast differently #also we have no idea how immortals age so both of them may technically have been older #but that was their physical and mental age #bb DFQC has two actors #one plays him when he’s even younger #but this is the one that plays him when everything goes down #this isn’t to demean what XLH also went through #she watched everyone she knew and loved get murdered #but because her memory was wiped until she was reborn it didn’t really shape her #now she has to live with it though and man… #like she has memories of a family now which I’m sure she loves #but she also has… that

Some sketcheys of this AU because I needed to get some of it out of my system

#hm i should make an original art tag #darth maul #maul #asajj ventress #senator maul au #the other two nightsisters are just random designs not ocs or canon characters i just wanted to add more dathomirians #because making maul the shortest in a group is one of my favorite visual gags #and i think it's fun that he'd be the most 'colorful' of the group #all clothes are reds n grays because i got lazy . i am not great at designing outfits. and even worse at picking colors for the designs #i gave him (all of them really) silver-ish jewelry because 1. i like the color more and 2. more fitting imo. silver is more magic propertie #i think in this au ventress is in the age range wookieepedia lists as her legends age. so she's like. younger than padmé #an apprentice senator. still learning about the senate and senatorial life so she can take maul's place when he quits #i think the other half of the delegation (or at least the other senator) would be significantly older than them. they're both so young #they need an older person who can be the voice of reason and experience #ventress gets big clotheys because 1. she's a teen here she deserves the proper coverage and 2. it's fun to go the opposite route of usual #fantasy designs where the guy gets a lot of layers and the girl gets clothes that show too much skin #but don't worry he IS wearing space underwear. a bad (or good) camera angle will not catch sight of his peanus in that second sketch

yall gon be mad but…

lowkey i think kaitlyn dever was a good casting choice

#dont jump me!!!!!! #aside from the obvious issues she has the range!!!! #she has the RAGE #she has the capability to act out the depths of anger and grief im looking for #abby is such a tough character to understand #id rather have a great actor play her and sacrifice the physical than the other way around #i am also at the same time very sad we wont get a super tall abby #but shes taller than bella and i think its interesting for them to be closer in size considering their closeness in age #and she can wear platform boots lmfao #but i have faith in kaitlyn in bulking up like she’s always changed her appearance for roles #and im also glad its her because she comes from longstanding background in the industry and can handle the hate probably #who im rlly scared about is lev like they better not whitewash my boy

[ibelieveinahappilyeverafter]

my fiancee's parents: actually we're not really supportive of your relationship/upcoming wedding with him because we think he groomed you due to the age difference between you two and when you started dating

my fiancee, who held all the relationship dynamic power because of that age gap: ...

me, who is asexual/aromantic and never had sex with/or anything close to it with my fiancee: ...

us, who have been engaged for 2 years and started this relationship long-distance and who have never heard this "concern" brought up before: ...

our polycule partners who have seen how our relationship/dynamic works: ... it's because your parents are transphobic motherfu-

#everafterrambles #original #for those who have been here a while kas' parents suck pretty bad #for God's sake i've had panic attacks about that age difference AND we went through couple's therapy #sucky part is kas has a little sister like 7ish age range and we don't want to risk her being cut off because the parents are assholes #lmao told kas: but my sister will see this if I make a post #and she went: good let her #vent #venting

Does anyone in the Tomorrow series ever actually... tell Ellie that what happened in NZ wasn't her fault?? That it's absolutely different to what Lee chose to do, in that she had her choice taken away? That it's not lame or weak or a reflection on her in any way? Because I know the way she's dealing with it is realistic for a lot of people but I also think it's really important that a series aimed at kids acknowledges that it wasn't her fault instead of inadvertently teaching them that it's okay to internalise all this, and by extension that Ellie was right to blame herself. Idk. I just know that if I had read the series through when I first started it at 12, I would have learnt from Ellie, and it's getting hard to read now, thinking that some kids would have.

#tomorrow when the war began #ellie linton #ellie tomorrow when the war began #the tomorrow series #tomorrow when the war began books #anyway I just read the bit where Fi is telling her that Lee sleeping with the enemy and risking all their lives is the same as Ellie #sleeping with the guy in Wellington and I know Fi doesn't know that Ellie was coerced and raped but it's still bloody hard to read #especially because Ellie says about how she wants to tell Fi that he got her drunk and forced her into it and she didn't have the energy to #fight back but then she says 'But I knew it'd sound too lame.' Like I know. I KNOW that's a reasonably normal reaction to something like #that happening to you. But equally it's not actually true. And while the character might not recognise that the author and audience should #It could have at least been phrased as her Feeling like it would sound lame instead of Knowing #because it's phrased as a fact not the character's thoughts and feelings and I don't think many people in the target age range of these #books will be reading it critically enough to be thinking about how she's an inherently unreliable narrator as all first hand accounts tend #to be. They'll read something phrased as a fact about a topic that they haven't really learnt anything else about and assume it's at least #little bit true

"SL Ragnarok is a BL" just has to be one of the funniest things I've heard on a hanging threat like– mate I freaking wish but is there literally anyone out there in the SL world that wants Sung Suho as a partner?

Not a single girl with romantic interest has approached him in the span of 150+ chapters, it's definetly the same for boys.

Jin woo at least showed some attraction with JuHee and Cha at this point in the story, meanwhile the only thing on Suhos mind is killing.

#the only person that adores him is also his own shadows #its quay honestly #its quay #Baek Miho? the only reason she was interested in him was because they had to catch a villain toguether. on both arcs #Esil? Sure she is there for him for a long time but nothing romantic has happened between them like at all #the rest are either with someone else or too old/young or out to kill him (Arsha) and none too central to the story tbh #funniest shit is that Ryo Sigh has the highest posibilities to be a good boyfriend figure to Suho xdxd #Is not bloodthristy. Is prob the same age range as him. Spoils Suho. gives Suho a ring on the first day they meet (out of context xd). #Helps Suho wherever he can. doesnt outright hate demons or beasts. precious uwu bean must protect. #actively trying to learn korean for him and also apologizes for his mistakes that he didnt too but still were trsuted upon him #appears in more than one arc #has the guts to willingly go and protect Suho from Thomas fuking Andre 💀 (he didnt but the thought is what counts) #all of this just to get suho to join his guild #fuking love that guy i wanna see the webtoon interpretation of himmmm #solo leveling manwha #solo leveling spoilers #rangarok spoilers #sung suho

one like. sonic fandom shipping trope i guess is what you'd call it. that really annoys me is when people have amy move on from sonic but then immediately get with someone who looks like him (or is said to look like him in shadows case) or is a copy of him in some way. and have that be part of the reason she likes them. or when people have sonics rivals/copies try to get amy to like them more as a way of proving they're better than him or something than out of genuine interest in her. i can't even explain why i find this stuff annoying i just do

#yes this is about sh/adamy and me/tamy and su/rgeamy #ive even seen people do this with jet ?? but not nearly as often as ive seen with those other characters #and i know a lot of people dont ship these pairings with those sorts of thoughts about them in mind but i know a lot of people do. so #well i know age gaps are a big part of the reason i dislike some of the ships themselves but thats not really what im talking about rn #im talking about the way people portray them #this doesnt really fit what i was describing and i also dont see it as often #but i also sometimes see people say amy only likes blaze because shes the sol dimension equivalent of sonic. which is also kind annoying #my feelings on 99 percent of amy ships range anywhere from ''ok well thats kind of stupid'' to ''HATE HATE HATE get it away from me NOW'' #but. why can amy only ever like someone for sonic related reasons. dont like that

𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽  :  the lion & the snitch pub, horizont alley  !

barwork, as the age old saying goes, wasn’t much ; but it was honest work. healing was only really considered a transferrable skill if she had the appropriate documentation to practice in muggle london - which in her circumstance was difficult to come by - or a wand to make use of what she had been taught during her first war years at st mungo’s. returning to the wixen world was not a decision that they had made lightly but for mary, actually rejoining it, accepting a place within it, was another story altogether. she’d made plenty of promises to caradoc over the past year about appointments at ollivanders to solve the main issue and letters written for jobs at the hospital, and these white lies were remarkably easy and totally unsustainable, in the long run. she knew it was only a matter of time before something or someone prompted her further, so she made sure to appreciate the hours spent behind the bar. working at the heart of wixen london while remaining so firmly off the beaten track was a nice middleground - one foot in, one foot out, still with the freedom to leave at any time. it kept her busy and taught her plenty, and mary was in no rush to change that and so makes herself inexpendable as the best barmaid she can be, moving to action before she’s ever even called upon. “can i get you a top up, pet?” she asks with a friendly smile, wiping away a spill from the surface of the bar with the rag that she’s carrying. “or anything for the road?”

messed around on picrew to design the respective families cuz i ran outta energy to draw lol

[picrew link here]

the Jamesons:

left to right there's: andrew (father), amelia (mother), elias (their kid)

and the DeAngelos:

left to right there's: marcus (eldest son), dominic (middle son), elizabeth (youngest daughter)

i came up w the names n designs on the spot, so they may change but like. yeah. its them i guess. also like... dont ask what happened to dominics parents i dont wanna talk about it

also obv, very very rough appearances due to the limitations of picrew, but still!! its all roughly as i want it to be style vise. i am gonna actually draw everyone later, so, consider this a rough draft for the characters

#chess shh #its all VERY rough #but heres some more design notes i kinda want them to give off #andrew is a very “i hate my wife” sorta guy. doesnt really care what amelia or elias is up to. basically lives at work #amelia married rich and it backfired on her. actively snoops around in everyones business. she may own bank chain now but is still a bitch #shes the sorta lady who demands to see the manager because her burger had onions on it (theyre too spicy for her) #i dont have many ideas for marcus but i want him to be the smug older brother whos always teasing his siblings. very family oriented #and basically manages the farm by himself while dominics making that bread in the city. just wants the best for his 2 idiot siblings #i imagine elizabeth is the sporty chick. kinda has to be when managing cattle and crops but still also likes to have fun with her appearanc #shes maybe in the age range of 17 to 20. i think she spends a lot of her free time online. maybe even moreso after dominic came out to them #and wants to know everything there is to know out of love for her brother #in short. jamesons all hate eachother and the deangelos would die for each other

idk if this makes sense or is just me but. i feel like if Harlan had been a token lgbt character (if there were no other lgbt charas) or something y’all would be more upset about him being senselessly killed. but him being a token autistic/disabled character is fine. lmao

#also if he was like within the main family age range and attractive idk #just feeling like. man we could’ve had a super powered autistic character in this show… #ua season 3 #ua s3 #umbrella academy season 3 #umbrella academy spoilers #ua harlan #harlan cooper #we had two other disabled characters this season for like what. 3 minutes lmao before they died too #the umbrella academy #autism #but yeah i honestly don’t get ppl saying him being killed was reasonable #Allison’s logic didn’t make sense imo #he didn’t kill Claire. really it is viktor’s fault because going back in time and messing with the past in season 2 did it #even if harlan hadn’t killed their mothers how does she know Claire would exist? she would’ve grown up totally different in a different #in a different area #it was just to hurt viktor i guess. #personal

spent two hours studying and I’m STILL thinking about Cassie

#For a lot of reasons…like it’s interesting to know that she knew (and was married to!!)the person who kinda fucked up a lot of peoples lives #And also I’m just thinking like how’d they meet #Like Koeia always has been a science girly and I love her for that. #But how’d you end up with like the most superstitious definitely believes in the supernatural paranormal girl to ever exist #(And technically she is justified in believing that since some of it IS true…but some of it isn’t or are misconceptions) #(Which once she does find out more about she thinks is really cool. She would dedicate herself to studying these things I swear) #Like Koeia you literally created Moon and you married someone who believes In horoscopes #(Nothing wrong with that really…I just think they’re kinda stupid if you whole heartedly believe and follow horoscopes and astrology) #(Like you won’t hang out with people because of their signs kinda astrology crazy) #(Cassie is very mild with it like she’s THE girl to go too for that type of stuff cuz she knows a lot but doesn’t follow it like a religion #(Like I said she doesn’t follow anything in specific she just does things) #Anyways I feel like at some point everyone who knew them was like “you’re telling me they’re getting married??? Those two???” #Cuz they’re completely different!!! Like not even beliefs and morals wise personality wise too #Idk it’s crazy to me that like. They worked out so well for so long. Like I wanna say probably around 20 years? #I don’t ever confirm exact ages of my characters ever so I’m just estimating based on an age range I think they are now #And an age range I think they were when they got married #S.K brain dumps

sometimes i really wonder what age i give off to others online and irl bcs i am easily mistaken as a kid irl and i think i definitely give off below 20 teenager vibes online but. like. how

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #random thought before i go to bed goodnight #LOOK... okay... i was getting my hair cut once and she thought i was TWELVE. to be fair she was pretty old but STILL...........? #i am. age range 16-18 that's all i'm going to say but i wonder things because some people out there are thinking i'm older or younger #than i really am and whether online or irl is interesting because they'd have their own basis/reasonings for their answers #also what the fuck august is already about to end ... huh...! is this what having school does again to an mf. your sense of time gets fucke #damn. anyway. nighty night i really wish i had bg3 and ffxvi but woe is me

okay I've decided against pursuing any sort of diagnosis re: my growing suspicions I have ADHD/something of that ilk for a variety of reasons, but it will NEVER stop galling me how I lack object permanence. like a baby. I need to have clear storage containers because if I cannot see something I forget it exists. it's both a relief to know that there is a potential "explanation" for such behavior but also realizing that most other people can do convenient things (like: remembering the existence of stuff) is also FRUSTRATINGGGG because I wish that was me! imagine being able to remember things not only casually but well! imagine that! god!

#it's also frustrating because it can bleed into interpersonal relationships and depending on people's friendship styles it can have a... #large impact. like back in high school my best friend would regularly be hurt by me not remembering things #(ranging from stories she'd tell me to stories I'd already told her to people's names to pieces of information I'd been made aware of) #and I took it personally at that age and sort of took it as: #''I am an inherently selfish person who can't remember things about other people and I am Bad'' #and while that friendship grew apart and she sort of resigned herself (eventually) to me being the way that I was #I guess I never really let go of my guilt around it... and even now I still feel Very Bad about not remembering things #and I've often thought to myself of how I could mitigate it to be a better friend #but I short of ''keeping notes on your friends and the stories they tell you which you will need to reference often'' #I've not had much luck in cracking that #I feel like as I've grown older I've found friends who (for whatever reason) don't take my ''poor memory'' personally #[and hilariously I've seemed to befriend people with FREAKISHLY GOOD memories who more than make up for my own] #and that's been... a bit better because it's been many years since I've had a friend make me feel bad for not remembering something #and in fact I have friends now who HAVE diagnosed ADHD who (obviously) Get It #but back of my head I still think that I do the people around me a disservice by not frequently/accurately committing things to memory #I think it makes me a worse friend and a worse employee for that matter #and I do in fact wish there was a magic pill that would grant me that ability and that ability only. it feels like it would change my LIFE. #anyways this tag essay is brought to you by: #me looking for my concert earplugs (which I have never used despite buying them FOR three concerts I went to last year since I kept... #say it with me... forgetting about them the day of the concert!) and finding a stash of two different battery types I had no idea I owned #anyways. earplugs are going into my car so I will have them on me #and batteries have been moved to the clear container in my closet with the other batteries. sigh.
