henry telling joel the story of how he informed fedra about the leader of the resistance so he could get the medicine he needed to save sam, and seeing joel's entire face and demeanour change as he starts to understand who henry is and how similar they both are. joel initially not trusting henry because he's a rat, but once the full context is given to him, he tells henry it's not fair on him for so many people to want him dead for what he did. joel not questioning why henry would betray so many people for his brother, because he knows he would do exactly the same thing in his place. henry DIRECTLY making joel ask himself the question "what is more important: the world, or the one person you love? your honour, or your family? when it comes down to it, how many people will you hurt to make sure she's safe?", and you can just see that joel immediately knows the answer.

#if bill was there to make joel realise his purpose as a protector #henry is there to make joel painfully aware of the lengths he must go to to fulfil that duty #and only AFTER this conversation may i add does joel start trusting henry unquestioningly #because he knows who henry is now. he knows theyre exactly the same #and no matter what he can rely on him to keep these kids safe. theyll both do whatever it takes #god help ANY motherfuckers who stand in our way #< the way THAT has become one of the thesis statements of the show btw. thank you bill #anyways i think this episode was a bit anticlimactic in terms of dramatic stakes #but the narrative throughline. joels character development. ellies friendship with sam #it all balances out #if nothing else this show is fucking NAILING the character beats #tlou #the last of us #tlou spoilers #meta tag

Time to be self centered for a moment:

Me and the guys 🥹🫶

I still can't believe that I was able to meet Bojan, Nace and Jan last weekend (how is it already a week since Malmö OVO) :'D

They were so freaking humble and easy to talk to?!? 🥺🥺🥺

Bojan and I 'are you'ed each other for at least half a minute xD The love is really stored in the Bojan - the way he just gives you his entire attention when you talk to him OVO Plus he remembered my Häärijä cosplay from Helsinki, let me die happy now 😭🥺

Nace is such a lovely turtle dad proudly talking about his babies (I can relate to how much he talks with his hands) and his laugh is even more contagious in person 🥹 Loved that we in Gothenburg ended up wondering over the question 'what is each JO members signature picture pose' together; Nace and I showing off the Jan pose for the last picture x'D

Speaking of Jan, the poor boy had lost his beanie in Gothenburg (not pictured) so he had a scarf on his head :'3 he too was very nice talking to and me and another dane managed to spread the 'please come to Denmark' propaganda 😂

Jan and Nace both got little 2 min. pen doodles from me that I drew with frozen fingers and in a rush (didn't know how long they'd stay) and bless their heart for being genuinely happy to receive them :'D Nace did also get a second Malmö sticker just so I could see his reaction x'D (I'd sent Bojan off with gifts to all the boys during soundcheck and Nace confirmed he had gotten his and it was on his laptop I believe :'3 <33)

(Since I ran to Bojan I was too late to meet Kris in Malmö, and Jure stayed by the bus smoking which I respect)

#how am I alive :'D #impressed with myself not mentioning the are you tattoo saga once in this post btw x'D #also now I have a pretty good estimate how tall bojan is :3 #since I am only slightly taller x'D #nace was such a dad when he both days tried to calm my anxious butt telling me he wouldn't have come out talking to us if he was uncomfy #I really hope he did not just say that to calm me but actually meant it :'D #he was not only dad however he also was very goofy and silly and I love that about him x'D #I think after meeting them I vibe most with Bojan and Nace #but that is probably not fair of me to say since I only saw Kris and Jure at a distance :'D #and I am biased towards bojan because bojere and because the bojan kept feeding me tiny little nuggets of love through the gigs and after #there's something quite satisfying to me that I am wearing a white version of the JO hat where everybody else is in black beanie or no hat #also that I wore kä when together with bojci #and light grey to nace's black #but yeah especially kä with bojan since I'd gladly be substitute jere for a minute x'D #me #micahs thoughts #micahs foolery #jo see you soon tour 2024 #sys tour 2024 #joker out spring tour 2024 #malmö gig #gothenburg gig #göteborg gig #my gig

[milkbreadtoast]

can finally put them together... the main 4 charas of this story(*that will prob never be made into a thing but its fun to think abt)!!

*whispers* tentative names: 💚강효준 (kang hyojun), 💙이설(yi/lee seol), 💜유성화 (yu seonghwa), ❤️송혜연 (song hyeyeon). Hyojun(m) and Seol(f) are the protags and Seonghwa(m) and Hyeyeon(f) are on the "opposing side" in the story

#my art #OC #im still deciding on the names but atp i think i might just go w these names #else i'll be deciding forever fkbfmff #actually purple hair(seonghwa?? sunghwa??) was the only one w/o a name #ur yu seonghwa now.... #he was almost yuseong but i already associate that name too much w that mystic messenger mf #but i still like it so. sticks it in secretly w his last name(yu)... im so smart /j (im an idiot) #its so hard picking names when its not ur native lang #as a kor am ive been indulgently making kr OCs all this time but its always hard naming them jfbfn... or any ocs in general #so many r unnamed still #i had decided to name blue hair seol from my friend's suggestion yrs ago #but i wanted to stick in a water pun somehow... 이설 sounds kiiinda like 이슬(dew)... not rly... but i tried #almost changed her name to 슬 but ive gotten too used to 설 by now to change it #hyeyeon's name means like... wisdom and beauty #the hyo in hyojun's name means filial piety/duty; a name given w the hope that he would be an obedient and dutiful son? #o btw seol is a girl KDJSKJD but she gets mistaken for a boy often... both in the actual canon + irl apparently Kzhdjs #it actually makes me giggle bc it means i made her gnc enough... happy #edit: i just realized i made them both S H S H names... i didnt mean to make them sound so similar... IT WAS AN ACCIDENT #HANGS HEAD...

[cherry-shipping]

one of the (admittedly many) reasons i love love love LOVE my uf and ht self inserts i think is because all the shit i hate about myself is amplified with them and i LOVE them for it. theyre weird gross perverted overbearing annoying creeps who nobody really feels comfortable around. and its the BEST!!!!!!!!! like yeah they suck shit. they dont know anything and theyre genuinely disturbing and disgusting people. arent they just the BEST

#cherry chats #i happen to love girls who are the worst ever. is the thing #when my ht/uf inserts make everyone around them uncomfortable and gross people out and when nobody likes them i think its so awesome and fun #they both suck so bad. theyre awesome #they dont KNOW shit they cant DO shit theyre weird nasty FREAKS #theyre overbearing and clingy and creepy and selfish and completely fucked in the head. and theyre everythinf 2 me #^____^ #i love my fucked up little self inserts. they are so not okay over there #had a visual image of my uf self insert lighting they and sans’ bed on fire cause he annoyed them. lmfao #blame kiss with a fist That song is everything in the world to me Ok #btw speaking of which i should really give my most common self inserts nicknames #because going ‘my uf and ht self inserts’ every time is a pain #like. my trollsona although i dont talk about them much is a favorite too and their name is zairku Cuz troll names etc #and in my head i nicknames my horrortale guy 207 for. some fuckin reason #ermm. whadda hell do i call that underfell freak then. #……………… cherry???? bc thats qhat i used to go by way way WAY back in the day??? #and it. SORTA fits the general uf aesthetic…..??? #well. just like how 207 was a placeholder that just became their nickname i guess cherry would be the same #if i called them that as a temporary placeholder while i think of something else itd just end up being their name anyway. lol #okie dokie hehehee thats good then ^__^ i think ill add that 2 my pages when i get out of bed #which is. very soon bcuz i wanna smoke. so im goin outside. its -4° out

[fischlcatgirl]

okay so fun fact: of the genshin characters currently playable, 26 of them use the short female model. and do you want to know the second most used model? its the short male model with. 16 playable characters. the short female model has at least TEN more characters than any other, with 14 more than both the tall female and tall male character models and 19 more than the female child/very short woman character model. which. hm. just something to think on ig

#both tall male and female models are tied for characters with 12 which i find kind of interesting #or they will be. until clorinde is released. bc navia uses the short female model and so does um. whatshername. #i also fucking HATE clorindes design btw #and it SUCKS because clorinde is so cool as a character. why did they do that to her. why couldnt she have a shirt that fit #they used up all of their good design power for fontaine on furina and neuvillette and had none left for anyone else :( sad #wait i lied. i actually like navia's design #its very gentleman thief. if the gentleman was a woman #and slayed. hard #wriothsely's is fine. i like lyney's design but he does look more like he's just wearing a sexy magician holloween costume than he looks #like an actual magician #what is up with lynette's outfit though #dont her legs get cold. or what #board certified my post

[vvanessaives]

no but thinking of violante's manic state following her murder of ruven and that sick game of association-replacement played by gortash where he acts just like ruven did, picks up some of his behaviours and mannerisms and speech patterns he specifically used with violante and that he knows of well bc he observed and studied them interact, so that he can fill up the now empty spot left by ruven's death.

#rena.txt #LIKE THE LAYERS. vio is visibly not. alright. it's all about 'i'm alone without him' so he plays a role. takes advantage of the weakness so #to devote her to him like she was devoted to ruven. vio could've killed for ruven and now more than ever she's a powerful asset to have on #your side. plus she showed she can and will kill. she took out the only person she cared for (in their twisted ways) in the world so she's #useful but dangerous. a double edged blade. no better moment than now that vio is so unstable and lacks purpose and a sense of community #to lure her on his side for his future plans. there's smth about the manipulation in it that makes me lose it like #i know this is what you desperately need rn and i know you know you will never have it back so what if i showed you i can be that thing #you're missing? that sense of loneliness is what he's pressing on the most. and the loss too. and vio notices ofc she recognises when he #speaks or acts in a certain way. she's aware but willingly letting his plan work bc god. she does miss ruven so sickly much and the comfort #in a lie is preferable to what's going on in her mind in that moment. #there's exploitation and there's a lil touch of loneliness on his side too and it's bitter to pretend to be someone else to convince her to #stay but he won't ever admit it. genuinely think that if vio didn't leave without saying a word his plan would've worked. she'd willingly #pretend he could replace ruven. it would hurt less probably #that devotion that could lead her to do great horrors...both her weakness and strength 👍 the illusion of free choice 👍 #it's past 3am if i could elaborate better i would but i feel like i'm having visions at this point.hit me with a giant hammer so i can slee #i 🫶 toxicity in my characters dynamics btw

[hyp3rfixation-h3ll]

listen if i manage somehow to cement my legacy in this fandom as the "transfem burgertron guy" that'd be enough. like the bare minimum

#botbots tag 🏪 #kin tag: burgertron 🍔🤖 #botbots #burgertron #feel free to rb and put your unpopular transfem hcs in the tags btw. Please #i wanna be known as the burgertron x bonz-eye guy too but i think hcing burgertron as a transbian is way more out there #because a lot more people hc him as bisexual and cis than trans and a lesbian. and honestly that hc is VERY valid too #me and widely-accepted-fanon burgertron are bi / lesbian solidarity #shockingly i dont see a lot of transMASC burgs headcanoning. are you guys okay /j #as someone who's transfemmasc and obvs uses both labels he has tboy AND tgirl swag and fail simultaneously #and tbh im a bit surprised nobody else has caught onto that idea

[finelythreadedsky]

i'm fundamentally opposed to book titles in translations of ancient epics ('beguilement on mount ida,' 'a hero's son awakens,' 'the olive tree bed,' 'camilla's finest hour,' 'juno served by a fury') bc it just seems like too much to me to presume you know what single thing the book is really about, but christopher logue is allowed to do it

#i have the collected volume but just bought the husbands (books 3-4) and yeah. he's right. that IS what books 3 and 4 are about #fitzgerald does call iliad 3 'dueling for a haunted lady' which is cool but the rest of his book titles suck #iliad 18 isn't 'the shield of achilles' and aeneid 8 isn't 'the shield of aeneas' there's a LOT more going on in both #even aeneid 5 isn't just REALLY about the funeral games (bc its also about the first punic war) #and all the more so with the homeric epics whose book divisions were not intentional and who had no author to focus on a single thing at on #titles are useful indicators of what the translator thinks the book is really about and what they think everything else is supporting tho #like does the translator think the embassy to evander is central and the shield a supporting detail or vice versa? #(aeneid translators are 50/50 on whether book 8 should be titled based on the shield or based on evander and the arcadians btw) #and like. does odyssey 4 take its title from menelaus' tale or helen's tale or do you call it 'the king and queen of sparta' or something #its really funny when translators try to do book titles with the metamorphoses though #'impious acts and exemplary lives'? 'of the ties that bind'? #those tell me nothing about what's even in the book let alone what the translator thinks the most important part is #(this is a not small part of the reason i have not gotten the new stephanie carter translation. #efforts to divide epic neatly even into the book divisions used by the author rub me the wrong way. #going beyond that and presuming to be able to say where one story ends and another begins... it's not for me) #mine

[bonestrouslingbones]

managed to completely curb a whole ass rant about all the Discussion around undertale yellow by getting completely distracted trying to make my guys in another picrew. if any of the 14 of yall are picrew makers or future picrew makers i am begging you right now on my knees to let the characters have foreheads without looking fuckin ugly please. please. please

also a karma attempt bc i never make him and this is probably the closest i will ever get. if he were biblically accurate he would have an undercut and very few bangs and a way fuller beard but i'm working with scraps here man i couldnt even make his post-void design

#yess i KNOW i drew out the main four a while ago but i like to rotate them in my head still. human designs are way more fun im sorryyyy #the forehead thing Pains me btw. the most bangs i ever give edge is like a single little ahoge in the front everything else is slicked back #karma should be darker than fluff's half-white ass but then he would have the same skin tone as edge #which aint a problem except for some reason on karma it just looks like a bad sunburn #they're both just tanned!! please!!! why can you not use normal colors!!!!!! #the first one isn't so bad but i only did russ and stretch bc oh my god the outfit options are simply Not There #not even the backup denim jacket so i could get SOME blue on russ..... aaugh #sigh. at least i can almost always give everyone the horrible eye bags they deserve

[235uranium]

not to be back on my bullshit already but like. ford talking about how he doesn't understand romance in journal 3 quite literally does not prove he's ace in any sense of the definition unless you assume only ace people struggle with traditional relationship models (literally not fucking true??) or that aro people are always/usually ace (I am beating you with a broom). it's evidence towards him being aro if anything!

but even then I think that's an accidental meaning in the writing. the passage exists to show how detached ford is from the sheer idea of family and how he doesn't understand fiddleford's attachment to his wife and son! it's also a subtle reason to show why the pines family might not notice anything after the portal incident (i.e- ford didn't talk to his parents or sister much, if at all, after moving to gravity falls.)

it's even more frustrating when ppl mention that line... and then make him alloace?????

#☢️.txt #yknow what fuck it! #ford pines #i wouldnt mind ace ford pines hcs so much if they didnt so often use evidence towards him being aro as the evidence of being ace??? #also im gonna be real the 'ford dated a siren' joke is just way funnier if hes aro #im not even attached to him being aro. im more attatched to gay monsterfucker ford pines #but then again i think most aroallo ppl are a bit on edge after what happened in the aromantic subreddit a few weeks ago #(mods banned all mentions of sex and sex-related banners for a few days before reversing it when people pointed out how insane that is) #oh and i also just think the stuff about how ford sees family is much more interesting in that paragraph #it both explains why stan hasnt had any significant pushback (bc even tho he can imitate him the career change had to be a shock!) #and why ford resorted to stan for help over anyone else in his family (he didnt talk to them nor did he feel any sense of closeness) #fords idea of family is soooo fucked up. its all filbricks fault btw but like #it was easier for him to reach out to stan. whos location he had to actively track down and who he thought didnt respect his career ambition #than just like fucking. calling shermie or one of his research mentors #at the absolute height of his paranoia he still felt that he could trust stan deep down and no one talks about this

[cycle-hit]

uhhhhhhhhhhh. yeah i got really bored. heres these things i found on pinterest. + additions. i hate jackalope. every time i see a human form of him i think of that preminger edit though so at least he has that going for him. shidou i kind of just want to throw out of a window and see what noise he makes when he hits the ground. i want his god/saviour complexes to get worse.

#i also dont rly see 0206 but i CAN see yuno having one sided feelings for mahiru which would be really funny and really tragic #i see fuuta and kotoko as more of siblings than anything. same for 0203 #uhhhh. everything else is self-explainable i think. i also choose this guys dead wife #0309 is looney tunes to me. “i dont argue with my bf he just bash my head in with a rock and i walk it off like a man” #h. anyways #little guy posting #“how bad are you procrastinating” PLS DONT TALK TO ME I ATE GLASS </3 #0204 and 0210 uhhhh. yuno would bash both their heads in with a rock. idk if this clears anything up #to the surprise of no one i love all the female characters dearly #fun fact the heart effect on kotoko was a leftover image from making an 0507 “edit” so i just use it whenever i can now #/lh on shidou btw. in case that wasnt clear idk

[autisticcassandracain]

is it just me or is batman like. significantly more tolerable outside of gotham comics than in

#my laptop's still letting me use tumblr without major issues and i'll make that everyone else's problem #anyway. i'm not saying batman outside of gotham is never insufferable to read bc he absolutely can be #when they write him like a gary sue and pretend that he's the most powerful member of a justice league that includes you know #superman and wonder woman #but also from the admittedly limited justice league comics i've read so far as well as the cameos i've seen of bats in other comics #he's just like. 200% more likeable #this post is about wonder woman issue 293 btw #he's out there doing a group hug without major blackmail and not protesting when clark announces bats and he both love diana #he's also engaging in casual conversation and treating clark and diana as on equal footing with him #and he didn't even have to go through a 12 issue arc or have an emotional breakdown about any of it #it's like. gotham comics are almost 100% guaranteed to work their reality around him and make sure you know he's the bestest ever #and all the energy goes towards making him grim and serious and traumatized while also being cool in an action figure kinda way #meanwhile a lot of comics outside of gotham go more like. hey this is bruce. he's a cool superhero who's really smart and competent #he's also kind of a loser who takes himself way too seriously and like maybe two people in this building like him #and the rest are not afraid to make fun of him either to his face or the moment he turns around #i know this is not the case for all comics and there's still a very very good chunk of them that make him the Coolest Boy Ever #but like. even just. seeing him treat other people as being on equal footing with him or even better than him #just makes him SO much more tolerable #like tower of babel or whatever that arc was called had a bunch of rlly dumb takes on how bruce could 'outplay' the justice league #but like. bruce still treated the rest of the justice league as on his level or better. it's why he bothered to MAKE those plans #you just don't rlly get that in gotham. the closest we get is if nightwing shows up bc then we might get an 'oh he's the best of us' #inner monolgue about how proud bruce is of dick. sometimes we'll get an inner monolgue about the other heroes too #but those monologues are the exception not the rule and they are almost never said out loud to anyone #and if they ARE it's only after an arc of bruce being a fucking ass as an apology and it's. insufferable. #idk maybe it's just bc i read more batman comics than justice league comics but still. #bruce is usually just. SO much more likeable in basically any comic not set in gotham to me #i bet if you made him spend a few weeks in metropolis or something his mental health issues would go away actually #he's just vitamin d deficient and it's making him cranky #my posts #bruce wayne

im doing one for shinon too bc he deserves it

shinon radiant dawn vc: my mom never hugged me

shinon path of radiance and radiant dawn vc: -treats greil like a respectable father and never mentions his own father literally ever-

shinon radiant dawn death quote: (smiling portrait) “Ugh... This is...such a crock... What a... boring way to die... Co... Commander... Greil... I... I... I'm...” (is he implying “I’m coming to see you again”, based on the quote and smiling portrait?)

#DCB Comments #shinon is one of those characters where the fandom focuses on one single negative trait #and they blow it up completely and pretend it's the only trait he ever has had and ever will have #meanwhile there's a gold mine of information you can figure out just by reading his lines and thinking about why he acts like that #like the whole want for money to live well when they're clearly not super well off mercenaries #or when he takes weapons from dead enemies and gets scolded for it but like can they even afford new weapons regularly? #the way he acts implies he grew up poor and has always been poor and STILL IS but he's there bc he cares about greil #and eventually came to care about everyone else and cares a lot about kids which they had rolf who rly respected shinon #he does what he can to help them raise money when they need it but fact is they always need it #in his quote versus oscar in chapter 18 oscar asks him if promotion is so important and he says it's everything #he clearly has no ill will toward oscar but for shinon getting promoted and getting money in that promotion will help him live well #he's tired of being fucking poor. he doesn't see an issue with wanting to live like you know a normal person should #but ofc everyone sees that he argued with janaff in two supports (which btw janaff egged on HARD and talked shit abt greil #and he also used racist rhetoric back at shinon so like... that whole argument was a two way street #but the fandom ignores that and just calls shinon racist even tho in their A support shinon specifically catches himself #from using a racist term and changes the term he uses so he's not being rude bc he learned he was wrong abt laguz through janaff #and janaff learned he was wrong about beorc through shinon. it was a very development heavy support chain for both of them #the fandom hates on shinon for ''being racist'' even tho he's one of the few non-main characters to actually get full development #and has a complete story from beginning to end between both games and comes out better for it) #i mean that's only a couple examples of things that aren't even hard to read into but ppl like to reduce him to one trait #and one trait that actually gets better and develops through both games. oh no a flawed character who has to have a development journey AAAA #guess what he's perfect specifically bc he's not a boring already perfect and flawless character #he has to get angry and get annoyed and learn from others despite being a grown adult. he has to have negative interactions to grow #he doesn't get to cling to the ADORED main character and get a gay paired ending and be loved for it #which no offense to soren that's not his fault that's the fandom's fault for treating them both the way they do for stupid reasons #i.e. would soren rly be so loved by the fandom if he wasn't tunnel visioned at ike #yes i will take forever to write this out slowly with my injured arm JUST TO GET THIS POINT ACROSS! #HE IS A FANTASTIC CHARACTER EVEN WITHIN THE TELLIUS CAST AND I WILL FIGHT FOR HIM11!!111!!!1! #also i wrote this earlier between those asks no im not that speedy lel. much less with a bandaged arm l e l
