What I like most about farcille is that I think its a perfect encapsulation of Ryoko Kui's signature mixture of the cozy and the horrific. Overall Marcille has this clean pristine aura that she breaks only for Falin's sake. She's uppity, rigid and idealistic almost childishly, then she shows this immense drive, gets her hands dirty, and bends and bends. Dungeon Meshi is about how all beings become objects of consumption, and Marcille wouldn't have arrived at that conclusion if Falin hadn't died. She also wouldn't have if she hadn't befriended her in the first place. The course for Marcille's life was set when she was just open-minded enough to follow the weird girl to the cave in the woods. Forever cursed to eat wildlife

It's that contrast between cleanliness and filth that interests me, the interactions between the comfort and the horror, the uncanniness of the familiar and the familiar in the uncanny.

Every bit of Marcille's characterization points to a type of immaturity (the picky eating, the detached romance obsession, the failure at foreseeing the obvious consequences of her actions, the ridiculous plans to equalize all lifespans, the death crisis). Even in her dream she appears as stuck in childhood due to her loss trauma. Her development throughout the manga consists of coming to terms with grime and disgust, learning where food comes from, learning her limitations, coming to terms with death and decay... And it's all powered ironically by her drive to save Falin

#dungeon meshi spoilers #dungeon meshi #they also have nymph vibes to me especially falin which i like personally because I'm interested in the overlap between #lesbianism and fae in art #especially when it pertains to an image of purity or almost immaturity that was apparently a big thing in class s yuri #and i think farcille sort of fit due to that childhood friends on a race against time quality

"Still trying to intimidate me? Cute."

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

The fun thing about CFAU danny is that he grew up in crime alley during his early developmental and foundational years, and was only in amity park for four years before his accident. Which means: potential to explore how this affects his personality. How does he act?

If he grows up in crime alley, which is rife with violence and crime and he like everyone else bares witness to it, how will that change who he is compared to canon?

Because he’s not gonna be the exact same as canon, thats not how development works. Something’s gonna change. So is he violent? Is he a thief? A liar? A follower, a leader? A backstabber? How selfish is he? Because selflessness gets you killed.

How willing is he to get shot/stabbed/murdered/trafficked for another person when he’s surrounded by people who take priority over themselves more than others? And is largely not taught otherwise? (And are valid for their self-preservation?)

What’s his kindness look like, is it rough? Tough love all the way through, showing other kids how to bloody up their knuckles to keep their own face safe?

Showing kids how to file down their teeth with the broken glass at their feet, so that when they bite they make it hurt?

Or is it more gentle, but still bloody, showing kids how to keep their head down and out of the way of the bigger, meaner kids barreling their way past? How to blend in, how to hide? How to not get caught?

Is it a third option, and always bloody, always hurting? Does he get in the way, take the hits? Always a shield, never the shielded? His nose having been broken so many times it’s permanently crooked, are his eyes always black? His lip always bleeding? Does he have scars?

Is it a fourth option, a fifth option, a sixth? Is it bloody? It may as well be, Crime Alley is always bloody. Always bleeding. Danny will see death, he will see suffering, he won’t unless he closes his eyes and covers his ears.

Does he have bad habits? Stealing, smoking, drinking, kids mimic the adults and even if his parents try to teach him out of it, it takes a village to raise a child. If the village is violent, then the child will be too. Is he malnourished? Jason was. He will be.

How does Dan change in comparison to canon vs a Danny who grew up in crime alley? Does he change at all? Or is Danny just more horrified by him, because he’s more similar to him than he previously thought?

What are his thoughts on Batman and Robin? Does he like them, think them myth, distrust them? How does his time in Gotham influence his perspective on the people there, on the world around him? His thoughts on Bruce Wayne (beyond the improbable him immediately figuring out Bruce Wayne = Batman)? The Elite? Does he have an accent? What’s his education like?

And CFAU Danny is fun because I get to explore that. He is ultimately still Danny - still kind, and selfless, sarcastic, punny. But how does he show it? What other traits does he have? What has changed, and what has stayed?

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #childhood friends au #cfau #just some food for thought. i dont see many aus where danny actually grows up in gotham #like i’ve seen plenty where he’s BORN in gotham #but he’s always out of it before it had any affect on his development and growth #like even if he moves out at eight that’s still gonna affect his personality #kids have a ton of personalities by the time they’re five #like they’re not babbling toddlers #and this is coming from someone who works with 5 year olds and up daily #theyre immature yeah but they have personalities #they’re people #so if danny grows up in gotham and moves out at say. 9. he’s still gonna be affected by his timere thete #ESPECIALLY in crime alley. like there’s no getting out of that #and it doesnt have to be a drastic change but there’s gonna be something #like what i said above: is he a liar? a thief? violent? mean? a backstabber? #was he following a kid gang or was he leading one? #he’s not gonna be sunshine and daisies. something about him is gonna be selfish. mean. what is it? #how much is it? #is he manipulative? #selflessness will get him shot so when does he step in? how? #oh or if he does grow up in gotham - specifically crime alley - he’s exactly the same #which is… interesting to me #canon danny wouldnt really like cfau danny. too much likeness to dan

#twisted wonderland #twst #chenya #artemiy artemiyevich pinker #riddle rosehearts #trey clover #sketch #tfw when I got a strong sense of deja vu that I've drawn someone in this pose before #But I can't seem to figure out who #Especially when I lost all my files twice within the span of two months so I have no convenient way of looking what I've drawn before #So pls don't mind it if you see it LMAO #Anyway #Childhood friends are one of my fave tropes #so still wishing that we get to see these three together more ✨

Charlie Dalton is definitely the one to say “Love you” to the other poets when it’s time to leave, and won’t let them go until they say it back.

absolutely losing it over the fact that kakashi and gai are in each other's character sheets in all stages of their lives as if kishimoto really intended for them to be together forever (he did. he told me himself)

#im fucking crying okay #especially at that last character sheet #god they rly are each other's most important person huh #they've known each other since they were literal kids #and now they can finally grow old together #childhood friends to lovers im going insane #kakagai #gaikaka

#sorry but they're my favourite duo in tlt2 ok im obsessed with every single one of their interactions #i am once again saying that the panghua friendship is among the best things the shows ever did #they're gaming buddies!! they banter!! the first interaction also makes me feel so many things about the casual physical contact #also i swear pangzi lowers xiao hua's braincell count whenever they're in the same vicinity they're genuinely hilarious #and i love this for xiao hua especially because he has very few people who are genuine Friends i think #who aren't linked by jiumen or having just been around since childhood #pangzi is among his actual genuine friends that he chose to make #and that carries on until sha hai which gives me another whole case of feelings #anyway. them <3 #dmbj #tlt2 #wang pangzi #xie yuchen #panghua #ashton originals

#my art #gift art #bnha fanart #kiribaku #momojirou #todoizu #tododeku #idk why they would all go out together but i think it's a cute idea #so i drew it #i also got this printed onto a mountable board #and when i went to pick it up #the employee told me that another employee apparently thought it was straight out of an anime #and also he told me i should sell my art at conventions #so that was a huge compliment x2 #especially since the intended recipient is my childhood friend #who i've known since we were like 3 #so that made me much more confident that they'll like it #which i hope they do #bc they're important to me #<3

🌧️ Memories of rainy days ☔

(ID: Kirby series fanart, Childhood Friends AU, of young Dedede, Meta, Para Dee, and Bow Dee having fun and enjoying the spring rain, the grass below their feet covered in puddles and dotted with little white flowers. More detailed descriptions below the cut. END ID.)

When having a friend with a proficiency in umbrella actually comes in handy for once.

Sketch started btw 11/23 and 04/24, render started 04/13/24, finished 04/19/24.

Left: The four huddle together in the rain under Para’s green-plaid parasol, magically expanded to cover all of them and sparkling with little glowing stars. DDD stands in the center wearing an orange-and-red raincoat, looking up in wide-eyed awe. Para sits on his shoulder, easily carrying his oversized parasol and gazing at the rain with smiling, starry eyes. Bow bounces joyfully on DDD's left (our right), dappled in droplets with her arms raised high, laughing as she splashes in a puddle. Meta presses close to DDD’s other side (our left), tugging the hood of his little purple raincoat over his head to protect it from rogue drops, a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

Top right: Para steps forward under his parasol (normal-sized), a hand over his eye as if searching for something, a word bubble over his head showing Bow’s ribbon and a question mark. Behind him, Bow - implausibly submerged right up to her eyes in a shallow puddle - peeks at her friend with a mischievous expression, a though bubble over head head showing a shark’s fin in water.

Bottom right: Meta stands at the edge of a large puddle in the grass, leaning over to peer down into it, a hand on his cheek and a curious expression on his face. His reflection does the same, sporting a color palette of blacks and reds, one brow furrowed in confusion.

missing spitfire in these trying times.

#spitfire #young justice #yj #wally west #artemis crock #yj was a big part of my childhood & watching it helped me process my life #its during that time i found lifelong friends & i'm happy to say they've stayed after 10 years #artemis especially #her character means a lot more now past the confused angsty teen stage #the issues in my life now have changed and yet stayed the same #it's wild to see i've grown up with these characters #hm

[pherre]

the doctor and the master will always be the most compelling relationship in doctor who to me. like in nuwho the doctor goes on and on about being the last of their kind and then it turns out they aren't! except the only other timelord out there is their eternal worstie who wants to kill them permanently but also loves them sososo much. meanwhile in classic who they're just like "this is my best friend who Sucks". whats not to love

#we love childhood best friends to rivals to the last of their kind to worsties to married couple to torturers to best friends to obsessions #the master in classic who is especially funny because sometimes he doesnt even want to rule the world #sometimes he just wants the doctor to have a bad time #dw

snippet sunday

I got tagged in that WIP ask game by a couple of people today, but instead of playing along and letting you all choose what WIP you want to know more about, I’m just going to force one on you.

“Your uncle is Regulus Black?” Cedric whispers to Harry, sounding incredulous. 

“Yeah, he’s Papa’s brother,” Harry whispers back.

“He’s the best Seeker Hogwarts ever had!” Cedric sounds awestruck. 

“Uncle Reggie.” Harry leans forward and taps Regulus on the shoulder. Regulus turns around in his seat with an eyebrow raised at his nephew, and Harry says, “This is Cedric. He’s my best friend, and he’s going to Hogwarts next year, and he’s going to be the best Seeker ever!” 

Sirius tenses as Regulus gives Cedric an appraising look, and Remus lays a hand on his knee. Regulus may be cool and aloof, but he’s never been cruel to a child, and he adores Harry. 

“I see,” Regulus says finally. “In that case, I look forward to you beating my record.” 

“Which one, sir?” Cedric practically squeaks, and Remus has to smother his laughter behind his hand. 

“All of them.” And then Regulus winks--winks!--before turning around again.

The door to the top box opens, and everyone stands as the two Ministers of Magic step inside. One of the perks of top box seats is that each Minister spends some time speaking with every person inside before the match starts. 

Until Kingsley Shacklebolt gets to Regulus, that is. Instead of shaking his hand and giving a perfunctory greeting, Kingsley kisses him gently and murmurs, “Hello, love.” 

“You’re dating the Minister of Magic?” Sirius hisses.
