What was Lights out! Frank's reaction to crazy ass Lights out! Wally?

ah i wouldn't call him crazy, Wally's just desensitized to the Horrors and acts accordingly. which is occasionally a little unhinged. but no yeah Frank has a proper freakout <3 he has a hard time adjusting to certain aspects of.... everything. including Wally yeah

(don't bother trying to read this i know its terrible handwriting lmao, it's p much just to show Frank's spiral <3)

#wally when frank first wakes up: omg!!! im not alone!!! a friend!!! #wally ten minutes later: hey frank maybe you should go back to sleep. just a thought #LISTEN listen when youve been completely alone for ages and you have a Routine and youre Used to it #its a little very much fucking annoying to have it all Abruptly Disrupted #wally is used to quiet. hes used to his version of peace and routine #then frank barges in with his panic and Noise and general Thereness #wally is understandably very quickly Done With It #scribble salad #wh lights out au #they do have a fight over The Arm™️ i think #frank doesn't really get it at first. he will eventually #eddie's hat becomes his version of it #and julie's necktie i think. he might wind up wearing it on his wrist. idk tho still workshopping the wardrobe changes and such #but uhhhh yeah frank reacts Not Well! #its just a long day of continuous: what the fuck? What The Fuck? WHAT THE FUCK?! #theres just such a disconnect between his and wallys experiences #he hasnt had the chance to adjust or even prepare #very jarring for them both...

Been reading some ff7 stuff and it's mostly sephiroth based and like... It's so funny seeing people write his thigh length hair, they never get it right.

'he wrapped his hair in a towel on his head-' I appreciate the thought but I can promise you that that hair is coming out the end of the towel and still dripping cold water down his spine despite having been wrung out five times.

'leaving it to dry -' babe it'll be still sopping in six hours and it's incredibly heavy when wet. I don't care how sleek his hair is it's going to frizz if he steps one foot outside in that condition.

'Haha the bottle of shampoo and conditioner every time rumour isn't true-' the shampoo, no, but the conditioner? You'd be surprised!! Not to mention whatever hair oils he uses to prevent all that loose hair matting in seconds!

'he quickly dried his hair-' no.

#Fr if someone is plaiting his hair or washing it or whatever and they're standing within a metre they're going to have to loop it #A door handle their arm SOMETHING. If they want to keep any tension at all. #Because if your hair is longer than your reach you're gonna have to use a third point to bring it back in #Also there's a very high chance he ties it back for bed #You WILL end up strangled in your own hair if you don't lol. And get it in your mouth and eyes #Like I can see why people with normal hair treat it as normal hair but once it gets that long it needs more dedication #Also how does it not get set on fire in battle I'm so jealous lol #ff7 #final fantasy vii #final fantasy 7 #sephiroth

stop being preachy on this subject and trying to force everyone to interact or make posts about the situation, some people have dedicated their accounts to specific things in order to compartmentalize and not have to deal w this mental anguish from doomscrolling 24/7.

not allowing yourself any peace rest or leisure will not end the war, it will not bring back the dead, will not aid the suffering of those people. the only thing not allowing yourself peace like that will do is soothe your conscience as if you were actually doing something when you aren't. you're just watching with your hands tied like everyone else. you can enjoy things and post about other stuff while still deeply caring and being in solidarity with the people of palestine, this is the internet you can do multiple things at once in different web spaces.

telling other people what they should or should not be doing on the internet while there's a war on won't fucking do anything except shame people for trying to stay sane. you have no idea how harmful this shit is for people with moral obsessions and compulsions, you're just causing more suffering to people who don't deserve it, just stop that shit. if you actually want to help then take action, call your representatives, show up to a protest, donate to a cause. anything else.

#seriously the amount of posts i have seen going like stop posting about ur interests right now if youre not talking abt this youre evil etc #like no girlie the global superpowers are evil the idf are evil the arms industry is evil #people are just trying to ease their own suffering #you have no idea what its like to live with moral ocd you have no idea how much damage you cause saying these things #youre hurting people already in pain for internet clout #if you knew how the internet works chances are your audience share the same views as you and you sharing these things will not change- #-anyones minds who doesnt already stand with palestine. youre not reaching an audience too different from urself #so really you are just hurting people who already think like you in favor of attacking some centrist strawman #palestine #israel palestine conflict #moral ocd #actually ocd #current events #war ment

Turning tragedy into hope-Let him lose those arms

I’ve tried making this post three times so let’s hope that third times the charm y’all.

I’m just gonna come out and say it but when I saw that panel where Izuku doesn’t have any hands I literally got so excited.

AND ITS NOT BECAUSE I LIKE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER GETTING BRUTALIZED (well? I do think it’s a little funny but shhh)

But it’s because this has been foreshadowed almost as much as the handhold itself between Izuku and Katsuki. And it’s wonderfully tragic in the best of ways. Literally half of the commentary surrounding it when it came out in the leaks was “omg I thought of that!” Because literally everyone and their mother KNEW this was coming in some form. Izuku was going to lose an arm, and that would be the case.

Hell, even outside of the story the amount of official art and AU’s Horikoshi drew that had Izuku without an arm is astounding. Like it’s so painfully obvious that this was coming, and so he upped the shock when he made Izuku lose them both.

Izuku is even doing his white eye thing, he isn’t shocked, he’s angry. My dude is pissed. Clearly, to me at least, the loss of his hands is less of a shock to him and more so that he’s angry that afo took away the reason he lost them in the first place—Tenko.

Y’all gotta remember who Izuku is, he’s the stubborn motherfucker that refused time and time again to give up on his dreams, he’s the one that illegally saved Iida and Katsuki, he’s the one that refused to let go of Tenko’s hands because when he was in his time of need, it comforted him.

Izuku has been told by his doctors for over a year atp that he was going to eventually either lose his hands, or lose the function within them. He’s accepted that. He can try to stop it, hold it off through equipment and treatment, but at the end of the day, everything breaks eventually. He knows that. We know that.

So if he was going to lose his arms in some way, it’d be through this: saving someone, holding their hands, never letting go, comforting them.

It’s tragic and sacrificial, but Aizawa’s the same. Did we make theories about how Eri is gonna heal him from being an amputee? Did the story say “actually due to this cool magical illusion/quirk it was all a mirage/eri could heal it”? No, it didn’t. Did Mirko somehow get her arms and legs back because they’re tied to how she views her strength? No, she didn’t.

And there’s a reason they didn’t. Multiple reasons they didn’t. They’re heroes, their scars tell their stories.

Not even mentioning how that’s such a trope (“everyone else keeps their long term injuries except for the main character because he’s special and gets main character powers, like not getting a disability from a dangerous job! :)”), but why should eri, a little girl, be responsible for everyone’s injuries? She doesn’t even have full control yet, she’s playing it by day. (People LOVE to talk about how all the 1-A kids are just kids fighting in a war, except when it comes to a little girl being responsible for everyone’s injuries, somehow)

The reason eri was shown wasn’t because she was going to somehow save the day, but because she wasn’t. It was supposed to stop those theories from having actual merit, because eri doesn’t actually have the built up strength to help.

So, with that out of the way, I wanted to say how this is so fucking beautiful. It’s tragic yes, Izuku and Katsuki never got to hold hands, not properly, but maybe the measure of their trust is beyond that. Maybe, an embrace could suffice—this would go back to Izuku’s vigilante arc. Where, instead of holding hands, Katsuki caught him when he needed to. And he’s going to do it, again and again.

Maybe holding a robot or silicone arm won’t feel the same, but it’s the feelings surrounding it that matters, not the act itself. The hand hold is still there, the hands still haunt the narrative like a mouse within the walls. It bites at cords like their own emotional walls.

Katsuki missed his chance, over and over again, and he’s going to have to come to terms with that. But that’s not to say that the story won’t let this aspect haunt the narrative like it always has. It’s still THERE, and I believe in Horikoshi to continue to write a story about hands while the main character doesn’t even have them.

Izuku’s hands are tied to his strength, physically and emotionally. He views them has the glue that ties his heroics to himself. His hands have always reached out to others, his hands have always punched those who were wrong, and even when he had to switch fighting styles he still saw them as the reason he was able to fight at all. They represent OFA, his love, his anger, his weakness, his strength. They represent his sense of self, and yet he’s more outraged than hurt that he lost them for Tenko to be free—only for AFO to take away that freedom all over again.

THATS why the loss had to happen. THIS. He lost something so incredibly valuable to himself, but he lost them of his own accord. He could have let go of Tenko at any moment, yet he didn’t because he wanted Tenko to know comfort and freedom. He wanted him to be free.

You could say that Tenko was telling Izuku to let go because he was breaking down his emotional resolve, and I believe you could also say that he was telling Izuku to let go so he doesn’t hurt someone who tried to help him all over again. You could say it’s both. It’s selfish and selfless, like everything in this story is. But Izuku refused to, and that was a choice Tenko could never take away from him.

So, that’s how I’ll turn this tragedy to hope, because this was done out of Izuku’s love, why take away that meaning?

Why put them back?

Why take away those scars?

Scars tell stories, they tell you how we became the greatest heroes.

#okay so I didn’t say it in this #and I actually implied that I think he’ll stay the way he is in the story #but I’m just gonna be honest y’all. this was mostly about what I wish will happen in the story. #because I know that there’s a giant chance that Horikoshi is just gonna give him his arms back #I can smell it in the air. sigh. #yk I love this man’s writing but I’m so done with his little fake outs #like dude. commit to a tragedy for once in your life my GOD. #bkdk #midoriya izuku #mha deku #bakudeku #bnha deku #bakugou katsuki #mha analysis #mha 419 #bnha 419 #shigaraki tomura #he gets ONE TAG #AND THATS IT #I still find his stupid ass annoying but I can see his appeal now #with love ofc <3333

what they dont tell you about being incredibly introspective is that you'll think you're done making realizations and then you'll just make more realizations always all the time forever

#dude. guess who just found out the reason he's incapable of imagining himself in a good relationship #is bc he's never witnessed any growing up. #my parents dont have a relationship i would want #only one of my siblings is married and her husband sucks. other has never dated while ive been alive (im much younger) #+ my other sibling had. a strange relationship i wont mention details of but this was also like 5 yrs ago and he hasnt dated since #i have very few close friends and none of them dated as we grew up either #or even with some its like. i wldnt want your relationship lol... #the only Good relationships i see are online from ppl i follow. and then i cant trust em bc we only see the Good Parts #so like. do they even exist... i dont think so.... #if i wasnt starved for physical touch id consider throwing in the towel permanently #but idk maybe ill buy one of those pillows with the arms that wrap around you #and a few more **** and try and cope with it in kenland or al's farm forever #talkys #im still 100% serious about ppl who have good relationships being lucky bc i feel like #the chances of finding someone you mesh with and are attracted to and can communicate with. are so slim. #i can barely ever find someone meeting one of many requirements. i can barely make friends. etc

The payoff for the Chris/Ryan Ryan/Topher joke in episode 112 is so good and deserves much more recognition.

Like the set up to this joke starts all the way in episode 14, with Mikey trying not to get them all confused, so he pointedly gives him secret nicknames he refers to them as so the listeners don't get confused either. And while we all know their real names, they become Chance and Shadow for us.

Then in Season 10, Mikey remembers nothing, but he does know that the gamerunners are called Chris(topher) and Ryan, so when he hears Jam talk about a Chris and Ryan at OVER, he immediately jumps to the conclusion it's them and takes matters in his own hands by holding Chance/Chris at gunpoint in Jam's cabin, demanding answers.

Cue a very confused and frustrating conversation for them where Mikey's like "I know it's you, you're the woe.begone game runner, I don't care that you made me kill people and cut off my limbs I just want my life back" and Chance has no clue what the hell he's talking about

#woe.begone #wbg spoilers #chance's 'you....cut off your arm?' lives rent free in my head lmao #like in most shows this wont work but due to time travel and timeline shenanigans it was possible and really funny

does anyone know of a legitimate way to get a physical copy of Pokemon Platinum that doesn't cost $1,000,000 and the soul of your firstborn child? because I'm having absolutely zero luck in my search

#ideally I'd like to pay $20. I could make $30 or $35 work. $40 is a bit much but I'd take it over the prices I've found in a heartbeat. #I am NOT paying $100+ for a game even if it had infinite gameplay (and spoiler alert: Pokemon Platinum does not have infinite gameplay) #the only site I've found that sells physical copies for less than an arm and a leg uses copies that have a chance to wipe your save data #maybe I'm being too picky. maybe there's no way to satisfy this desire in full. #or maybe people are asking for too much money for a single video game.

I really hope we learn more about Rook in book 4. What type of man he was, how he and Rebecca met and what actually happened to him.

It's been mentioned/hinted at a few times that Rook was the more family-orientated parent and that Rebecca didn't really know what to do, probably even more so once he died and she was left with the detective. Which could have resulted her in focusing on work more and more. (That's the case for Rebecca Michaelis and my detective, at least!)

I really love the family dynamic created through the books between Rebecca and the detective, especially due to the strain the absence could have caused if you choose to go down that path. But I do wish that Rebecca would finally open up a bit more about Rook for longer than she has previously.

Especially since, from what we have seen about him so far, I can't help but think of an AU where it was Rook left to raise the detective instead:

Would the detective have a different life if that were the case? Would they have a better parental relationship or would things continue to happen the way they have done with Rebecca? Would Rook be more open and slowly introduce the detective to that world or would they be kept hidden from it until they can't any longer?

Would the detective even be the detective if he were alive and still in the position and if not, would they even meet UB in the first place since they are Rebecca's unit?

#♥. lucille #the wayhaven chronicles #twc #wayhaven rook #wayhaven rebecca #twc spoilers #wayhaven spoilers #i would love to hear about how different your detectives would be if it were rook raising them vs rebecca! #I feel like Rook and Valerie's relationship would be similar to how hers is with rebecca- just without all the bitterness lurking underneat #and ofc...less chance of Val getting abandonment issues which leads her right into bobby's arms which only gives her more #this has probably been discussed before!

thank god for indie devs making like tiny little maximum 10 megabyte freeware games on itchio keeping the art of filesize optimization alive. ASSET REUSE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#im watching a video about wario land music -> 'the bizarre music and sound design of wario land 4' by geno7 #good video so far! i like this guys stuff. he talked a bit about how they did some of the sound effects for warios voice #a very like. chopped and remixed sample style of doing his vocal lines. which is very cool 1) because it saves a bit of #precious space on that gba cartridge BUT ALSO 2) it just sounds cool and interesting stylistically #and man sometimes trying to keep a file size down really does give way for some really interesting stuff #on my own personal interests in games i ADORE rpg makers rtp and how people can find creative uses for it #i love that a bunch of games can draw from the same asset pool as one install on ur computer #no bloating your hardrive with a bunch of copies of the same assets - its just already here! #and from a developers perspective i love when they reuse old assets from other games in new weird ways #some small visual novel companies will reuse backgrounds and other assets #altho i dont mind a bit of bloat with VNs since a big draw can be the big pretty images and big pretty sounds #but its still cool when people find ways to get creative with space saving. and from a players perspective its also nice #space is cheap nowadays. but its not Free. we can swallow terabytes whole with micro sds and everything #but a lot of players dont get the chance or ability to upgrade their internal memory that often. so i think being considerate of filesize i #very important. and thats not even getting into the download bandwidth limits - a lot of people all across north america can only get like #internet from 1 provider and that 1 provider often likes to upcharge and limit shit because they can #we might live in a future where a lot of powerful technology exists. but access to that tech is another story #so remember the filesize. remember the filesize. #dies in your arms
