Do you think that...for the rest of Klavier's life, he's haunted by the image of his brother? The Gavin brothers resemble each other very much in the face, so every time Klavier looks in the mirror, he can see Kristoph looking right back at him (without his glasses)

#klavier gavin #kristoph #the gavin brothers #ace attorney #I feel like Klavi has some mixed feelings about Krissy #obvs he condemns Krissy for murdering people because of *checks notes* a bruised pride #but!!! Krissy is also his older brother at the end of the day and it's my headcanon that Krissy did a lot of tough and terrible things to #get ahead in life and provide the foundation for a cushiony life for his little brother #it's through Krissy's deeds that Klavi could build his career as a music artist #and maybe also Klavi looked up to his brother and could turn the other way when Krissy did the evil?#for a time of course. Klavi probably didn't say anything because he also feared Krissy as much as he loved him #but when enough became enough Klavi went 'Im not gonna stand by and watch my brother do this anymore when so many innocents are suffering #for nothing'#then he turned on Krissy unafraid of the consequences #these two!!!!!! I wish we had more of their backstory #like they were orphans and didn't have family so Krissy played the part of the parent and looked out for Klavi #but this came off as controlling #Krissy emphasized appearances above all else which meant he had a very narrow part to play with no room for errors #so everything he did had to be perfect on the nose! this meant he had to have perfect control over everything #even his own brother. and eventually this controlling habit got out of hand and Krissy truly became 'the devil'#and Klavi didn't know what else to do but go along with it because he trusted and loved his brother. until enough was enough and Klavi #couldn't live with the guilt of knowing everything that went on #welp! Time for fanfiction!!!!

You made a post saying “it has been zero days since our last alex hirsch hates ford so much bullshit” and i know it was mostly hyperbole, but you have some really good takes that I would love to be elaborated on in terms of how ford is written

it really wasn't hyperbolic. over the years he's just really shown a lot of hatred towards this one character.

content warning: discussion of abuse

i want to start with this clip from the commentary which i think of as a microcosm for how the writers and especially alex think about ford.

transcript:

rob renzetti: i mean he [mcgucket] should've basically knocked ford out, and... and destroyed the... you know, tied him up, and, destroyed... and... alex hirsch, speaking over him: yeah he should've beat ford with a wrench and taken this thing apart piece by piece! he's the one who understood how to built [sic] it, but...

... so that seems like a pretty violent course of action. shall we unpack that?

ford is a character who's pretty explicitly written as a victim of abuse, and who now has c-ptsd as a direct result of the abuse he experienced. alex hirsch believes that ford deserved everything bad that happened to him, that it's ford's own fault, and that he also deserved worse things to happen to him. this is why, given every narrative chance, alex hirsch has piled more suffering onto ford's plate. the biggest example of this i can think of is in the journal, when he wrote that fiddleford was actively erasing ford's memory (despite this being a massive timeline contradiction which i still refuse to accept). because god forbid ford even have one remotely healthy relationship with somebody. that would be too good for him. ford was manipulated and lied to by bill, but alex repeatedly compares him to icarus, a teenager whose demise was the result of his own ignorance. this comparison is still so fucking offensive to me. the sun did not lie to icarus, did not guarantee icarus all of the happiness and success and sense of belonging which he had been denied all his life, did not actively shut out the voices of those around him who would try to help him.

alex in general has a very strange relationship with abuse. he seems to get really upset when people read his characters as victims of abuse. the strongest instance of this is actually not with ford, it's with pacifica - especially in the nwmm episode commentary. the episode says "pacifica's parents have conditioned her to respond to a bell" and alex says people got "the wrong idea" about it. like. dude. what the fuck. you wrote abuse. even if you didn't mean to, that's what you wrote. you can't say people got "the wrong idea" just because you didn't think about the subtext of what you were writing. anyway, back to ford: i believe this extends to him as well. alex wanted to write a character who's a foil to stan and who was a selfish unlikable victim of his own arrogance. however that's not what he wrote. he somehow seemingly accidentally wrote a really compelling and relatable awesome autistic guy who had to fight for every good thing he he ever had in his life only for it to be taken from him every single time. but alex can't let go of seeing ford as just "the opposite of stan". when he talks about "how someone as smart as ford could fall for bill's tricks", he refuses to realize he wrote a situation in which a man was being psychologically manipulated and tortured.

it goes back further, too. people repeatedly theorized that filbrick was... not a very good father, to say the least. on top of the very explicit and canon fact that he threw one of his children out on the street (seriously, there is no defense for this), people pointed out that stan would flinch at filbrick, that ford seemed upset by things filbrick said but dared not talk back, that filbrick was mad at stan not for hurting his brother, but for "costing the family potential millions". but alex can't have people seeing ford as sympathetic. ford can't have it bad like stan did. ford had to have everything and he lost it all because he sucks so much. so he wrote the graphic novel story where ford is filbrick's favorite child and filbrick also is not even a bad parent you guys he's just stoic. ignore the whole thing in dreamscaperers where stan perpetuates the abuse that filbrick did to him. ignore the fact that ford was shouting at stan and then completely shut up as soon as filbrick entered the room and did not say another word for the rest of the night. ignore all that because i just made up this story where he cries at a present from stan. filbrick loved his boys for sure you guys!!!

i'm not even touching on how alex repeatedly villainizes traits commonly associated with mental illness and neurodivergence. ford's hypervigilance becomes arrogance. his passion for knowledge means he's a know-it-all. his difficulty socializing and making friends means he's a misanthrope. his lingering resentment for the way he was raised means he hates his brother and is the worst human being to ever have lived. i could go on, go even further into how the finale reaffirms this, but i feel weird talking about this too much.

#help you unclogged the dam and it all came rushing out #it's been years #didn't know i still had all this in me #apologies for the lack of sources. i reference a lot of old interviews and tweets from 2016-2017 #i know insider was one of them but a lot of it was questions he'd be asked at convention panels and off-handed comments from the dvds #seconds before the clip i included alex says ford's great flaw is pride #as though it was his pride that led to the world ending #and not a millenium-old plan by a monster using advanced manipulation tactics supplemented with literal mind control #tales of the wild zeep #1009

made a ref sheet for my dark urge, esper, in response to the deluge of bullshit i've drawn about them, and in anticipation of further bullshit to come. they're a nonbinary drow half-elf, they're a college of swords bard with 3 levels in assassin rogue -- definitely not the most ethical of resist!durges, since they do still solve most of their problems with murder, fear, and manipulation (it's what they're good at! a gift is a gift) but they do have standards, and they're trying their best to do right by their friends.

#smallnico art #dark urge #durge #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #durgeposting #smallnioc #the sharp teeth make them a little self-conscious post-amnesia so they don't tend to show them off #i don't remember who it was who came up with the idea of durge with sharp teeth but i really like it #i use it for body horror. like an extension of bhaal's control and ability to force his children to become the slayer #like one morning esper woke up and had carnivore teeth and they have to interpret it as a blessing but it's a constant reminder #that their body is someone else's temple #post-tadpole the teeth make them feel uneasy and they mumble a lot to avoid opening their mouth too wide

Would anyone mind sharing cute things with me tonight? It's been a rough evening. Doesn't matter if it's cute screenshots or pets or plushies. Just something cute.

#Fuck UPS #They delivered my Switch Controllers to some random person #Grey controllers that came with my Switch an were just coming home from Nintendo repairs #So I'm out $80 probably cause I have zero faith in UPS finding them or giving me the cost to replace them #Which is going to make this week a little uncomfortable to replace them so I can use my Switch #Thankfully the bills are all paid #Just going to be a large chunk out of my food budget so nothing extra for me this week #Not to mention No One has the grey controllers anymore #So I'm end up with mismatched garish colors #An no I'm not buying knock off controllers that will likely die months down the road when Nintendo repairs their brand name ones for free #I'm hopping mad that they did this #An their Proof of Delivery is a blurry ass picture that looks nothing like any house in this neighborhood #My dad helped me walk our street and the next one over #Only one next street cause we live on the street next to the creek

Do x dc idea 141

Danny was lab born baby from his parents. Who used stolen dna from starfire.

Danny gets deaged somehow. He goes to clockwork for help. Totally on accident a portal opens in front of him. Since he is dealing with skulker as normal a shot hits him and he is forced through.

Which leads to him landing right in front of starfire. Skulker flying after him. Child Danny just keeps fighting.

In the process flying and shooting his ecto beams. All while cursing out the master of time clockwork. It’s all his fault obviously.

#dpxdc #calling out the ancient of time #while using his powers like he did #well they may want to see where he came from #dna test shows starfire #guess her son pissed off a being in control of time #and it sent him back in time #Danny #Danny is a child #very angry #very much wants to get back to the realms #he might of taken straight off if he didn’t stick around #could be injured and left dna behind

Childfree

If you ask me, a childfree person, what are some "good" reasons to have children, I'm going to tell you that there are none. Most of the reasons that people state for wanting children are driven by ego. "I wanted to carry on my 'legacy.'" "I want to carry on my bloodline." "I want someone to take care of me when I'm older." Etc. All basically "I" statements. All very selfish reasonings. And that's something that parents will have to unpack for themselves. A lot of parents have God-complexes and just want little soldiers or little dolls to boss around. Also, folks don't realize that they're not only raising children, but they're also raising teenagers and adults.

The moment a childfree person says they don't want children, we're asked why. We can give dozens of very valid reasons, yet folks will invalidate us at every turn and call us selfish. People are not asked why they want children as much. Folks will really keep having children that they can't afford, and that's way more selfish than not having children.

Once I knew that it was an option to not be a parent, I decided that I didn't want children. This was like 10 years ago in college. The more I learned about childbirth and childrearing, the more it was a big "hell naw" for me. I prolonged having sex with cis het men because of it. Plus, I was waiting to be in a relationship.

We live in a world that glamorizes having children, but the reality doesn't match up. Let's talk about morality rates amongst pregnant women/uterus havers, especially those of Black women/birthing persons. Let's talk about how it costs to give birth. Let's talk about children in foster care. Let's talk about children having to pay for lunch. I could go on.

The bottom line is that childfree people are shown every day why we do not want to raise children.

#personal #had to get something off my chest #i know we've came far #but ppl will still act like they don't understand #childfree #don't want kids #pro-choice #pro abortion #birth control #protect yourself

Mamizou's accusation of Sannyo's Chō-Han rolls

To be clear, Mamizou is not actually claiming Sannyo is cheating, this is because they are playing simple Chō-Han (Odds vs Evens), and since Sannyo sets the cup on the table before betting even starts. The game is completely fair.

to everyone else playing, they are experiencing a completely fair game of Chō-Han.

But for Mamizou.....

she is getting mocked for cheating against the Yamawaro in her earlier games of Cee-lo

But is it even physically possible for Sannyo to control fair dice shaken in a cup?

And we do know for a fact they are fair dice because she's playing Chō-Han in the traditional fashion, with her sleeve off, making it physically impossible for her to switch out the dice each round.

Well according to a site on dice play, it actually is possible

"even straight dice can be controlled with practice. Cheats develop techniques where the dice are placed in the cup and are then slid out of the horizontally held cup rather than rolled"

Except there are two problems.

Sannyo cannot be using this technique for two reasons. The first is because Mamizou tells us she shakes the cup, and the second is because every round she sets her cup straight onto the table completely flat.

so how is this possible?

There is one possibility given what we are shown.

So here's how she probably does it.

The first step Sannyo will need to take is to flourish the dice, allowing her to select her results, if she's as good as we might assume, she could toss them from the tips of her fingers as easily as from the side, so even showing people the dice won't matter. We know for a fact Sannyo does flourish the dice every single round.

The next thing Sannyo does is throw her dice into the cup and shake them around, just like Mamizou said when she made her accusation.

as long as Sannyo can hit them flat on the bottom, the dice can theoretically hold the result, next we need to assume she can hold them there even while holding the cup horizontal. To do this Sannyo will need to switch to spinning them along the sides with inertia immediately after they hit flat on the bottom. Then she needs to keep them rolling horizontal along the sides without turning the side with her result.

Note the absence of "Rattling". The only sound effects we are shown are solid "thumps", "Clacks" or "Slams".

Now those were the tricks required to let her even attempt to do this rolling horizontal and under the conditions of Chō-Han. Now we actually get to the part she should not actually be able to cheat.

Sannyo is going to need to stay on the result she's kept flat to the base of the cup and then get it to land flat against the table without bouncing and turning.

But what if we saw the first part of that trick?

Every round she smacks the cup and immediately lays it onto the table.

If she does this absolutely perfectly she can hit her result flat against the base, and then ride the inertia of turning it to lay it flat against the side corners of the cup and finally land the dice on the table. Then keep the edge of the cup as a support to prevent it from turning over while it bounces.

And that is how it can theoretically be done.

The amount of skill required to actually pull this nonsense off would boarder on impossible. If we weren't talking about Sannyo this would be inconceivable.

Sannyo is not just good. She's very, very good.

really, really do not understand why everybody’s so insistent that jason todd would not be a red lantern if he were to get a ring

people making lantern aus will put him in the sinestro corps, in the star sapphires, and now he's got a green ring for some reason, and okay? that’s fine? like i’m not about to gatekeep - you should do whatever you want! but the fact is the dude is, like, textbook red lantern

his entire character arc mirrors that of the red lanterns almost 1:1 - right down to the being killed, brought back in a sort of unconscious state, and needing to be dunked in a magical pool to regain their memories/minds

sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one

#jason todd #hate that i'm being forced to talk about bats on this but i saw the dark crisis writer's tweets and just #??????????#so many misconceptions about the red lanterns and it makes me sad bc they're my favorites! they're so interesting!#but everybody seems to think they're just out of control maniacs who love violence for no reason!#it's disappointing and BORING like they're so complex #but people just see 'rage corps' and their brain shuts off after that #jason's entire thing is being Unavenged and the red lantern corps' entire thing is seeking out people who need vengance #red lanterns are explicitly only drawn to the 'pure' rage that comes from victims #atrocitus straight up says the rage of abusers isn't attractive to the red light at all #red rings ONLY go to those who are pissed for the right reasons #almost all of the red lanterns are victims of some violent crime or the other #most of them were being murdered or worse when the red ring came to them #that's WHY it came to them #they don't just seek out anyone who's pissed enough #they seek out people who are helpless and angry and give them the power to avenge themselves like!#you couldn't pick a better group for him to fall into if you tried!#not that i want it to happen because i'm morally opposed to the idea of bats with rings but still!!#the way every bats-as-lanterns thing i've ever seen bends over backwards to put him anywhere BUT where he obviously should be #baffles me #truly #and again i'm not trying to tell people they're wrong #you can do whatever! have fun!#not trying to rain on anyone's parade #but the star sapphire thing being big for him is just like--#yeah it could work but it would also be some real horror movie shit lol #the star sapphires are far and away the most disturbing of them all imo

#so on my way home..#i walked by a school and besides the fact that i felt so depressed bc just looking at these kids and adults i have NO hope for the future #i saw two boys on a bench as i walked by... and i just thought they were talking. and too late i realized that no one of the boys were #bullying the other boy. the bully walked away and the other boy just sat there looking so lifeless and dejected #a teacher came and sat down w that boy and i just kept walking. even if i wanted to say smth it's like what would i even do abt that situati #that made me so sad both bc that boy.. he looked so dejected and used to it. that anxiety going to school knowing you're bullied is awful #and like i imagined talking to him and saying heyyy if you're lucky you'll grow up to be 25yrs old #live like a parasite off your mom and be on wellfare and never have had a job :)#you'll have no education or highschool diploma :) you will still struggle to finish hs even at an easier level :)#you will also not have had friends in 10yrs and you'll be terrified of ppl and getting close to anyone and even going outside!!#you'll have no interests and hobbies and skills! you'll simply be a waste of space loser being a burden on everyone around u!#whoop whoop stay alive buddy it will only get worse ❤️#god i just wanna cry. how did i let my life turn out this way??? i used to be full of dreams and life and passion and HOPE #i used to believe in things and in people. i had so many dreams and i wanted to try and do so many things #now all i can think is 'i wanna die i wanna die i wanna die'. im miserable wherever i go lmao #there's this bridge over the highway i have to cross when i walk to school and every time i look down at the trafic and when a truck drives #by i feel my entire body vibrate. i just wanna jump and get mauled by it.#or i dont *want* to but i feel so deeply and desperately that it's the only way for me #only way to make it stop hurting. and i am weak. i dont know how to just 'stop' or take control of my life. thats why i wanna die #bc i know that i wont be able to. that my life will never amount to anything #for fuck's sake my dream now is just to have my own 1bedroom apartment and have a shitty job - like in a grocery store or whatever!!!!!#not even that can i make happen! bc im so worthless i cant do anything. im also stupid so i wouldnt be able to do my job right #i dont know... i dont know... these feelings and thoughts are too much i just wanna relax #but i cant bc my ribs hurt and idk if it's heartburn or an ulcer 💀 why am i even alive???? what am i doing all this for? 😭#my thoughts ran away but i meant like seeing that reminded me of how much of a failure i became #bc of my circumstances and all the shitty ppl around me thru out my life

Today we learned not to trust ice bridges.

#he was looking at it before i came over so i figured he had it under control #nope #just fucken trotted right onto it #i rarely help him or intervene when we come upon new terrain #he always recovers well when he messes up and he learns best on his own in situations like these #the only thing i help him with are big steep drops #he knows to wait for me to grab the back of his harness to break his fall before he jumps off #but aside from from that i always just let him figure things out on his own #and because of that he's become a very clever and confident hiker even in difficult terrain #i just unclip him from my belt and let him use his brain unimpeded #and usually he handles himself really well

Given my own experience in a data center it's also fairly likely that one of the servers just spontaneously combusted.

#that happened once #well idk if it spontaneously combusted no one was around when the fire started #but one of the trained monkeys came out and was like 'hey theres a fire out on the floor'#i was like 'huh'#so i called in backup and backup didnt want to deal with it so i had them take over my post and went on to the datacenter floor #and what do you know #there was a fire #so i called up security control and i was like 'hey theres a fire here'#and they said 'no there isnt'#and i said 'yes there is'#and they said 'well the alarms not going off'#and i said 'its broke then because im looking at a fire right now'#and they said 'no youre not'#so i hung up on them and called my supervisor and then i found a fire extinguisher and put the fire out myself #and my supervisor got to argue with security control about whether or not there was a fire #thats why he got paid the big bucks #he was a good supervisor. i did not have to wait until he arrived to put the fire out #i put the fire out and when he showed up i said 'there was a fire' and he was like 'okay'#like he just believed me. i didnt have to prove it

good morning I’m fully convinced that the reason Monkey King didn’t immediately smash through the stone/ice/bone that Macaque used to pin him and Nezha against that cliff face thingie in ses 3 ep 10 was because he was worried he might lose some control of his powers because he was panicked and hurt Nezha

#knox rambles #Monkie Kid #LEGO Monkie Kid #and the stupid amount of control this dude has #just his takeoff from the same place macaque took off in that same ep there's a start difference in power of said take off #macaque hyped up on LBD juice still had nothing on the way the ground shook whenMonkey king took off #mans light on his feet and could still break a mountain in half #i think the challenge for him isn't to hit harder but to hold back enough that he doesn't completely destroy everything around him while #yeah #superman kinda vibes ngl actually #mans was the og superman/hj BNGKAAMKFWE #except y'know #most of his powers n stuff came from learning #and years of work #except for the laser eyes those were just a bonus #okay yeah anyway FOOD TIME

imagine gently tracing your f/os scars while you're both relaxing in bed, any insecurities about them fading away as they relax more and more

#hakushaku would be hesitant to let me touch the scar on her neck at first #but over time as she got more comfortable and felt less ashamed w what happened that day she would let me #in the other series she has an eye injury and after a while will take her eyepatch off around me since she isn't disgusted by it anymore #my favorite war criminal <3 has plenty across her body but the ones that make her the most insecure are the ones from her cybernetics #when she first came back they were sensitive and she hated them being touched but by the war they were healed #she'd normally let me trace any scars without watching but the cybernetic-related ones make her watch me to see my reaction to them #she thinks i'd be disgusted by them and in turn her but i would tell her its the exact opposite #they don't make my opinion of her any different - they're just scars and she can't control them #shieldmaiden of my heart would think the scar on her cheek and lip makes her look more brutish and unattractive #i'd tell her they make her look handsome while i traced the scars across her body #there are more characters but i once again wrote plenty w just these 3 oops #f/o imagines #imagine your f/o
