#didn't even have to be dark

[fluffleforce-mysdrym]

I know it’s kinda dumb, but I really like the idea that all dogs go to Maldraxxus. I know it’s not real, but what the fuck. It’s not like there’s any proof of what’s over there anyway. And I like the idea that the Queen Floof is hanging out with Grandmaster Vole or his equivalent, borking at the arena contestants and being absolutely as loud as Vole is as she sits next to him, little glowing red eyes in a sea of fluff. 

And everyone will love her because she has the patience and determination to wear down their defenses that are on a whole other level. She will wear them down like she did Jessie, like she did my mom.

All shall hail and love the Queen Floof, Borky Terror of the Afterlife.

#the queen floof #best floof #when she was younger #before her eyes got that blue haze to them #they often appeared to glow red #didn't even have to be dark #fully lit room and the light would catch just right and #BAM #glowing red eyes #I used to call her my Hell Puppy #vet said it was a vascular thing where she had extra blood vessels in her eyes #i will never forget looking down at the foot of my bed #and seeing in the darkness #two tiny red lights staring back at me #you better believe my pansy ass turned on a light to make sure it was her #and she was just like #wut #are you doing #mama #turn the light off

Ah, childhood memories (Patreon)

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Sans #Gaster #Having such clear external-view memories of what happened when they were young would probably give Sans a lot of ammunition lol #Not that they'd know any different - their poor memories honestly :( - but having such clear memories in places would have to be weird #Most people have childhood amnesia to an extent! Tho it's hard to say when that would've applied to them anyway with their sped-up growth #Not to mention the trauma #And it's possible that doesn't apply to Monsters to begin with lol - but it's all a moot point anyway since these are their only memories! #It's sad to think of how much of themselves are missing forever since Gaster didn't experience them :( #This is what happens when you get behind on your work >:0 #I really wonder what their lack of memories/restoration of memories would do for their like/dislike of certain things! #Like how Papyrus says that sitting with Sans in his lap makes a lot of sense as to why it was so familiar and comforting #But also that knowing makes it sad as well :( Knowing recolours their understanding and interpretation! #Knowing Why makes things make sense but does it actually Help? It's a tough question - certainly it hurts in the moment #The little things Gaster has infected for them and for himself ♥ Like taking notes! Like chess and sweets and spaghetti and lab coats #And dark sweaters and cigarette smoke and hugs and intelligence - how many pieces of all of them have A Feeling attached #How many more have A Memory - and even more than that A Memory Lost and unrecoverable ughhh ♥ #But the little things they can hold on to hehe <3 Like pinging Gaster for what they all know and remember #Why does he even keep coming over if he knows the reception he'll get? Lol #Feels particularly self-loathing and goes to get bullied as penance pfft

#noivern #one of my all-dragon team's staples! thus i have a soft spot for this pokémon. not really for any other reason than that #just a cool badass design. big bat dragon. objectively badass #though i think it should be a dragon/dark type instead of dragon/flying. hydreigon typing #also hi it's me from the future. a few hours before this posts. i just want to complain a little bit #about how fucking difficult this is getting now that i'm getting into alolan forms in the queue #i don't. fucking. know how to use blender. this is kicking my ass. i spent like two hours this morning just trying to get those alolan form #working. and i didn't even successfully do that for two of them #so if you like alolan forms i am Really sorry but they are not gonna be up to par for the production value i have set for myself on this #blog. i've fuckin doomed myself by getting this much of a following and i know i can't get away with the same shit i used to #be able to so like. just fuckin bear with me please it's turning into a whole wreck here in the future in gen 7

feel free to add more, I just think it's funny that there's at least 3 musicals that have a 'high school is extremely bad' song and in 2 of them multiple teenagers die and in all 3 multiple teenagers get grievously injured. like they weren't kidding that high school really do hell.

#i didn't include any from mean girls bc none of them really have a big 'high school sucks' section #'where do you belong' is close but they mostly just describe things rather than pointing out how bad they are #or ascribing that badness to high school as a concept' #personally i think if you set a musical in high school #you are legally obligated to have a song where you acknowledge that the concept of high school is bonkers #original post #heathers #bmc #be more chill #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #also someone still gets grievously injured in mean girls even though it's not like. horror or dark comedy #like all these other ones are #which i think is hilarious #you can't have high school without serious bodily harm #they're also all opening numbers that are like half dialogue

Pmd2 remake devs, if you really do exist like the legends say, pls hire me I have so many funny ideas.

#knowing the internet this joke has probably already been made for them but... i didn't check #remember how i said this blog would have memes? well the time is now #i will always be salty that dusknoir's theme got stolen by darkrai #yes yes i know something something it's actually the darkness theme and not actually dusknoir's but i choose to ignore that lil fact #this is even funnier if you consider the hero/human/darkrai reincarnation fan theory #cause then dusknoir got schooled by the same person in 3 different lifetimes and that's hilarious #dusknoir #darkrai #pmd2 #pmd eos

I'm really not a villain enjoyer. I love anti-heroes and anti-villains. But I can't see fictional evil separate from real evil. As in not that enjoying dark fiction means you condone it, but that all fiction holds up some kind of mirror to the world as it is. Killing innocent people doesn't make you an iconic lesbian girlboss it just makes you part of the mundane and stultifying black rot of the universe.

"But characters struggling with honour and goodness and the egoism of being good are so boring." Cool well some of us actually struggle with that stuff on the daily because being a good person is complicated and harder than being an edgelord.

Sure you can use fiction to explore the darkness of human nature and learn empathy, but the world doesn't actually suffer from a deficit of empathy for powerful and privileged people who do heinous stuff. You could literally kill a thousand babies in broad daylight and they'll find a way to blame your childhood trauma for it as long as you're white, cisgender, abled and attractive, and you'll be their poor little meow meow by the end of the week. Don't act like you're advocating for Quasimodo when you're just making Elon Musk hot, smart and gay.

#this is one of the reasons why #although i would kill antis in real life if i could #i also don't trust anyone who identifies as 'pro-ship' #it's just an excuse to shut down legitimate ethical questions and engaging in honest self-reflective media consumption and critique #art doesn't exist in a vacuum #it's a flat impossibility for it not to inform nor be informed by real world politics and attitudes #because that's what it means to be created by human hands #we can't even make machine learning thats not just human bias fed into an algorithm #if the way we interact with art truly didn't influence anything then there would be no value in it #just because antis have weaponized those points in the most bad faith ways possible #doesn't mean you can ignore them in good faith #anyway fandom stans villains because society loves to defend and protect abusers #it's not because you get the chance to be free and empathetic and indulge in your darkness and what not #it's just people's normal levels of attachment to shitty people with an added layer of justification for it #this blog is for boring do-gooder enjoyers only #lol #knee of huss #fandom wank #media critique #pop culture #fandom discourse

i think it is especially hilarious that the fandom made such a big deal out of Darius' "only the small ones will get eaten" moment, considering:

how many times characters try to eat someone; not to mention many gags where the core characters are comicaly callous in inappropriate moments. And that Darius' line was framed similary as a comedic moment in canon!

#i didn't even like that scene because i think the time would have been better spent on explaining his motivations #but it is not different from any other instance of dark humour 101 in the series #darius deamonne #toh darius #the owl house #also amity's hands look so weird in the screenshot somehow it looks like she has way more fingers than in reality #darius rewatch meta #toh rewatch numericalbridge

I wonder how Ralsei would react to the Human of the Prophecy, the only person for MILES who can seal the Dark Fountains, being a tiny baby who doesn't know how to speak and can barely walk

bro would be flabbergasted

#not art #deltarune #babyrune #real answer: bro would probably be upset cuz the prophecy never specified any of the delta warriors being TWO #he's sketchy but i dont think he would want a two year old sealing the fountains #or even being in the dark world #imagining trying to let kris lead the party but their feet hurt and they just want uppies #and they have a tantrum cuz someone eats dark candy to heal and they didn't SHARE #if it isn't clear babyrune is an au with a bunch of duct tape holding it together #with the soul i think it's possible for everything to happen one way or another #without it kris would be much more toddler-like

modern trek erasing mccoy is genuinely my villain origin story

#mine #i just remembered how terribly mccoy was treated in into darkness again #and how the changes they made fully cut out the katra of it all #i mean they literally had not established the kirk + spock friendship enough to even make the story make sense at that point #they were fully leaning on tos and the pop culture history of it but they didn't EARN it at ALL #meanwhile they HAD established the kirk + mccoy friendship and they didn't even have mccoy in the goddamn room #unlike tos which of course had spock have his moment with mccoy BEFORE he goes in (and then of course the katra) #also i haven't watched SNW (and likely won't) but the fact they haven't had mccoy on there................. #anyway. it's. just. Interesting. is all. #[powering up my comically large supervillain ice ray] #(also let's not even talk about the certain segments of fandom that do it too lmao y'all know who you are) #i am too sleepy to be writing this so i am not putting it in the tags i'm positive it's bitchier than i mean it to be i'm just. v annoyed. #lol. lmao even. giggling cutely as i sharpen my knife. don't. erase. the doctor.

#piplup #now THIS is a starter!! the quintessential starter… to me. this is the Default Starter Pokémon. when i think of starters. sometimes. usually #of course it's always the one i used to think of. maybe that would've changed nowadays? it probably would have actually #but this guy is still a very Starter Pokémon to me #especially since i always wanted to be this guy in pmd sky. when i was a kid. but i didn't know how the personality test worked #so i just kept redoing it and giving the same answers every time. i was like. well it gives different questions so i should be able to do it #and sometimes i would just give answers that i Think a piplup would give. i think i got it after like a trillion resets but by that point it #was dark out and i had to go to bed. and then like. we had to return the game to family video the next fuckin day so i didn't even get to #play it that much. i experienced the beginnings of games i liked when i was a kid a lot. i was not very good at games

They lay down in the soft sand at the foot of the dunes, and then they heard the first bird calling.

#will parry #lyra silvertongue #his dark materials #the amber spyglass #hdm fanart #doodles and miscellania #plus pan and kirj are off there in the distance... #happy bench day folks <3 #someone was playing a very bittersweet piano tune somewhere outside my window as i drafted this.....kinda magical timing. anyway! #why did i choose to draw the dunes this year you may ask? #i don't really have a good reason i just felt like it :) #also in all honesty this didn't turn out exactly how i wanted it to look but considering a whole week went by where i thought #i might not get the chance to even START midsummer art i'm gonna take the win at getting it to this point #i miss!! sharing art!! so i'm gonna share it now

I can respect the hater mentality

#kirby #kots #kirby of the stars #hoshi no kirby #kirby meme #it's honestly hilarious that half the cast of star allies are just people that tried to kill us and most of them aren't even sorry #Taranza at the time was the only redeemed villain in the cast #like yeah magolor went through redemption but we didn't know that he just built a theme park and hoped everything was fine #marx is just not hungry and his text just hints at him still being up to no good #susie is still racist and im not even sure she learn something from her experience #apart from trauma #daroach is here to steal stuff #im still not sure what dark meta knight wanted but nothing good I'm sure #i may be giving Taranza too much credit because he's my favorite he did have ulterior motives #but at most he just wanted to pray for Sectonia's revival he wasn't gonna do anything bad #he is going through stuff of course he's vulnerable to be converted by a cult #he's even like 'probably won't work and it working would honestly be a bad thing but im going to try anyway' #do you think Taranza gets lonely up there #Galacta dying the second we receive the first bit of solid lore about them was straight up evil #and then kumazaki confirmed they killed them because it was funny i was enraged /pos #i know people were tired of Galacta Knight at that point #i mean i wasn't bur i kind of understand why some people may have been #even they were tired they kiled themselves before having to fight us again #do you ever think about how none of the Galacta Knight encounters are canon to the kirby cast but are canon to Galacta #and then their death isn't canon so oops here they come in Kirby clash #retire that is old guy #but actually don't i like them and i want them to appear until they drop dead (again) #the post was meant to be about Galacta never forgiving the ancients but honestly they're probably angry just in general
