#i just. had a eureka moment.

[lunapwrites]

The ferocity with which I keep attacking this latest LTL chapter is truly frightening at times - I'm fucking GALVANIZED, I want to finish it, I want to POST it already ffs but I'm getting to that point (again) where the energy feels like it got sucked right out of the chapter and I'm trying to figure out where the exact point I keep losing it is and it's FRUSTRATING ME.

I think they keep talking too much. I think I need to move past the point I'm at right now, maybe yada yada it maybe --- holy shit I fixed it.

#sometimes yelling into the void is the spaghetti throwing exercise we needed #i just. had a eureka moment. #[looks at actual work] #uhhhhh maybe finish this first so it's not looming #but then! ART! #ltl #lp writes #sometimes with difficulty #hp #i needed a scenery change #i think #I'll update if it worked

i had a vision from god the other night

anyway i love how some of wolfwood's first character-establishing scenes in both animes is him trying to scam people

#trigun #trigun stampede #tristamp #trigun 98 #tri98 #trigun fanart #nicholas d wolfwood #nicholas d. wolfwood #mid draws #idk if anyone has done this yet #had a full on eureka moment earlier about how wolfwood's cover for being a gung-ho gun isn't being a priest #it's being a con artist pretending to be a priest #like it is SO obvious he isn't a real priest/undertaker that people just immediately think “oh this guy is just a con artist” #and they don't think any further #so the reveal of “oh hey i'm actually part of an anti-human terrorist organization (though not necessarily willingly)” is an actual surpris #because you think he's just a con man who's really bad at his job #i feel like the last person to come to this conclusion 😶 #genuine character analysis? in MY memes? it's more likely than you think

Bruh this picture must be really old because the boys' heights are just all over the place.

Idk, maybe the animators just wanted to show how old the picture is by having Raph look like an actual pipsqueak and Leo be almost the same height as Donnie.

Or maybe they forgot to keep the boys from going off model.

If the weird heights are supposed to be representative of how old the image is though, then that really makes the growth of the turtles over time very interesting.

Determining their heights as babies is difficult since there aren't too many shots of them standing side by side at equal heights (not to mention that they spend most of their time crawling). But Leo, Raph and Donnie are close in height to each other, and we can at least make out that Mikey was cursed to forever be the shortest, an observation that's supported by concept art of them.

It was admittedly harder determining their heights as children since they're sitting for almost the entire episode as Splinter tells his story, so this picture of them is the best we've got:

One would look at this and think nothing of it because their heights are hardly any different from when they're teens, but closer inspection shows that Leo and Donnie are standing at different distances from the camera than Raph and Mikey. Not too close for them to seem bigger, but just enough for them to seem shorter than they actually are.

Lining them up with each other shows us that Leo is, during this period of time, actually the same height as Donnie, and they're both a good couple of inches above Raph and Mikey (poor Mikey😭).

And, as we can see by the time the series starts, Donnie ends up as the tallest turtle.

So, in conclusion: Donnie will never stop growing. Tall boys 4 lyfe-

That's not to say the others stopped right there because they evidently grew over time, as expected of teens. Leo's height compared to Splinter's is the best depiction of his growth from S1 to S4.

Though, since Splinter began using his cane more in S4, a better depiction would be to compare him with Donnie from S1 to S5, where we can see that Leo's back in his rightful place as his shoulders are just a hair away from lining up with Donnie's.

So, in conclusion for real this time: Our boys been growin'.

...That or I'm digging too deeply and the staff really just gave up-

hot diggity damn how did i miss this

those are not leaves on the tree, those are COINS

cuz remember when pinocchio is told by the cat and fox that if he plants his gold coins into the "field of miracles" it will grow into a money tree (SCAMMERS)

I'm just... floored by some of this stuff, at how much the whole pinocchio thing wasn't just an afterthought. Yes, this is a soulsborne game, it takes heavy influences by the games of fromsoftware, but it's almost as if neowiz is insisting that this is first and foremost a pinocchio adaptation. and it may come off as, a bit of an eccentric choice? but it's also very intriguing

#lies of p #liesofp #pinocchio #lop #tell me it wasn't just me #for some reason i suddenly only had the eureka moment after watching this trailer for like the 30th time #im like dying its so beautiful

This is not at all the topic of this blog, but I want to add to the Good Omens Meta Madness because I have thoughts. Spoilers. Obviously.

I don’t believe in the coffee theory, not in the strictest something-is-wrong-with-the-coffee sense. 

But I do believe that that coffee shop scene is significant, and here is why. 

Give me coffee, or give me death is not really a choice. No one is going to rock up and order death, that’s the point. It may present itself as a choice, but the answer will always be the same. 

“So predictable”, Metatron says.

Metatron is the master manipulator here. Think about it: he enters the moment Crowley storms out, having already instructed Muriel to look after the bookshop. 

He knows perfectly well that, for Aziraphale, there is no choice between embracing Heaven’s Goodness and staying on Earth.

He knows perfectly well that, for Crowley, embracing Heaven is never going to be the choice, regardless of the circumstances.

Most importantly, he knows that the very thing that stopped the Apocalypse last time was the two of them. The two of them, working together, could be the only ones to truly threaten Apocalypse: the Sequel. And hey, the last postponement of that very sequel occurred because… an angel chose a demon. This is not allowed to happen again. 

“You are just the angel for the job”, Metatron says. 

Metatron needs not only to offer Aziraphale the job to keep him close and secure for what’s coming next, but he also needs Crowley out of the picture. For good, preferably. And so, Metatron acts with precision, perfectly exploiting the biggest ideological difference between Aziraphale and Crowley, and makes it impossible for them to ignore it. What better way to make sure that the two people don’t cooperate than by gently guiding them into breaking each other’s hearts?   

That little scene in the coffee shop is about making obvious choices: and the fact that for Crowley and Aziraphale that obvious choice is not the same.

A lot of this season was about meddling. Metatron’s is the ultimate meddling. 

There is nothing wrong with the coffee. 

Aside from it being presented as a logical alternative to death.

[gorgynei]

hold on. i might be super late to the party on this, but dont these two landmasses (anima and the unamed 5th continent) look a little like the brother's dragon forms? what if the reason why no one lives on or talks about the 5th continent is because that's where the pools of grimm are?

#i just had a eureka moment about this holy shit. yeah i definitely think that salem lives on that 5th continent now it makes sense #ramblings #rwby

I had an epiphany

GUYS I SPENT THIS WHOLE WEEKEND THINKING ABOUT MY CODZ CREWS AND WAS THINKING ABT SHOVING THEM INTO THE CANON CODZ WORLD

I did it. The Primis (Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, I'll explain later) crews were in an alternate universe where world war 1 never happened but world war 2 did, but in place of ww1. Their world was devastated and somehow they got teleported to the canon world where they MEET THEIR ULTIMIS SELVES! YES! THE ALPHA CREW AND BETA AND CHARLIE CREW WILL HAVE ULTIMIS AND PRIMIS VERSIONS! (Alpha and beta already had primis version need to make the ultimis versions which I am on the process of doing rn; Charlie crew is already in the ultimis version so I need to make a primis ver)

Yessssss I'm so excited to design them all! And super glad to reveal them to y'all! I'm so excited heheheheh3heh3h3h

#Chaotic hours #Chaos rants #Hehehe I'm so damn excited you don't understand #I hope you guys will like the ultimis versions just as much as y'all liked the primis versions #The lore is wild here #I had a hard time thinking #Then I finally had a eureka moment #*rubs hands together* #codz #cod zombies #codz oc #original character

that moment when: everyone's lives are restricted and constricted and these imposed consequences are attributed to anyone's continual individual failures to seek, find, and follow the Correct Path through Life, and so everyone is left on their own to only be seeking & finding these failures as well as the only answer to how their lives can be better....versus Not seeing the world as the free marketplace meritocracy of everyone's personal failures/successes, nor everything in your own life, and thus not forever having to scrutinize Where You Must Be Bringing It Upon Yourself by fucking up or at least failing to do the correct thing, and exist only in perpetual punishment for your ongoing failure and occasional temporary reprieves from it. recognizing everything that wasn't & isn't & wouldn't be [this is because you're bringing it upon yourself] and thus having more capacity & capability to look at the realm of your personal individual self, reality, experiences, life through the perpetual instances of seeking, finding, and following your own needs/wants through one's inherent personhood and exercises of autonomy and recognition of where & when & how one recognizes moments of their existing freely & in more resonant genuine alignment with themself, you know? endless examples to be found in endless fractals of [where & how are people's lives made smaller]. and that of course this doesn't preclude the ability/option at any time to question one's choices, since you'll be able to find more Actual choices available to you (and, also crucially, find more actual choices made by others that are in the pursuit of limiting Yours) to look at, and people getting to exercise their autonomy isn't the same as "everyone doing anything they want regardless of how it affects others" since that [how does it affect others?] element instead being Regarded would be able to lead to recognizing that, in fact, an effect might be the infringement on others' autonomy, hence: There's A Problem....like the ability to just go ham with [questioning???] anything in existence, certainly including oneself, b/c the "norm" is such that rather you're only supposed to be able to question yourself for your failings (or those positioned as less than, thus, beneath you) and not even have the language to express a questioning of aspects of life beyond that b/c stop calling anyone "cis" they're just Normal, Just Be Normal and it would all be fine
