If we're not giving up, don't give up wherever you are.

That's a promise.

#im not even sure if you can see whats going on clearly on that last pic but i give up im too tired #scenario: we get to interact with the lost soul. cuz its not like he can see us.... but he would definitely know its not frisk though #considering deltarune noelle can hear our voice wHY NOT HUH?? HUH??? WHY NOT US WITH SANS #IM THROWING THAT LINE BACK AT YOU SANS #whats gonna happen after this? he probably wont remember. everyone canonically only remembers flowey and then a flash of white after. #but we will keep that moment close in our hearts hehe #IF HE WERE TO REMEMBER THE VOICE? id say it would become his lil own personal motivation. remembering it brightens his mood on bad days. #it still makes me lose my mind #that THAT PROMISE LINE #is in the code #but is never directly seen in game #BUT ITS THERE #AND THE IMPLICATIONS #makes me so damn emotional #anyways this scene is going to my delusional fanfic that im debating on whether im even going to post it or not #we shall see #sansnomaly #sans x reader #sans x self insert #sans undertale #junie art post

Do you think Tubbo would recognize the path Bad is going down, because it's one he's already walked down on?

This self-destructive behavior coming from a broken heart?

He hasn't seen Bad at his best, before the eggs got kidnapped. He's seen him a victim to grief more than a father. It's why the blue staining Bad's being isn't out of the ordinary.

But suddenly he starts carrying flowers to remind him of the love he lost, suddenly the void calls out his name even louder and suddenly Tubbo sees himself in the older demon.

And it's scary, because suddenly he sees what he has become, how it affects others.

And for the first time of many, he sees Bad walk down a road he's paved. For the first time of many, Bad is the one repeating Tubbo's mistakes.

#the parallels between soul hunters make me SOOOOO ill you hav no idea #i needed to get this out of my brain I might've misscharactarized Bad on the way and If I have sorrayyy..... #their fascination or connection with death #their undying loyalty to those they let in their circle #the switch of their perspectives on resolving conflicts after both Purgatories #the self-sacrificial mindset when it comes to the eggs #the fact they're some of the most trusted people with the eggs #Bad is openly trusted by parents while Tubbo is silently trusted by the eggs while they're both simultaneously safe spaces for the kids #Tubbo has been there for a lot shorter than Bad which lead to him following a lot of previous islanders' including Bad's steps #but suddeny he's been trust into many tragedies and now he has his own path people may fall down in #JUST AGH #i feel like I'm going in circles #i don't know #i dont think they'd ever openly discuss their weaknesses infront of eachother #but I also don't think they'd ever outright shut off a conversation over grief they share #qsmp tubbo #qsmp badboyhalo #soul hunters #soulhunters

nothing is more delicious to me than greed having a permanent effect on ling, even after his death. maybe it's some of his mannerisms or some little change to his appearance, or my personal favorite: making his chi absolutely fucked forever. the yao prince goes to amestris and comes back with the secret of immortality and something about him that's just ever so slightly off-putting

#fma #hey is it chi or qi. I can never figure it out #anyway I love stuff like this #that art I saw once about things ling brought back from amestris and it's greed behaviors. augh. it changed me #little physical changes are good too like his teeth being a little too sharp or there being a weird birthmark on his hand #(I KNOW the tattoo disappeared entirely. i know. but what if it left a scar or a birthmark and I cried) #but his chi being weird as hell is my favorite #either pockmarked because something was carved out of his soul #or there's just. a little too much going on with it. like greed left a little bit of his own soul with him #any of it is so good. #I have been thinking about greedling all day. this is normal for me but STILL #fma posting

I think fans want Jason to be a good person or be becoming one. To have a character that is well meaning and compassionate but decided murder is ok and to stand against main heroes who’s beliefs and actions go against the people he cares about and wants in his life. It’s confusing for people. People want their fav characters to be happy. But Jason can’t have his family’s support and follow his moral code. He’s cares about people and Gotham, and he’s an asshole who kills. It’s messy. It’s not black and white. I don’t even think Jason cares about being a good person or in the right anymore. I think he cares about what will save the most people instead.

Oh my goodness gracious I’ve been bamboozled

Batman’s definition of Good is not synonymous with absolute good/right no matter how much dc insists it is. Torture, battery/assault, surveillance, those are all condemnable actions too. I won’t get into the exhausting and frankly dumb debate of comic book morality wrt killing because I’ve already reblogged plenty of posts from other people who explained my thoughts on the matter far better than I ever have the patience to sit down and articulate. I also just think the notion that there’s something to be done about fictional characters who kill nazis and senseless murderers is stupid. Jason’s point is that the “main” heroes’ sanitized definition of right has its unaddressed holes and flaws which ultimately result in more preventable fatalities, and that he’ll work to correct those missing spots.

He doesn’t not care about doing what’s right. What he doesn’t care about (at least during his Winick characterization) is whether Batman thinks he’s right or wrong, because he sees the flaws in Batman’s methodology (and since he has a mind of his own). Batman’s methods alone cannot address Arkham’s revolving door and the rogues that come and go through those doors who have no intention (or capability from the doylist pov) of ever changing or undergoing redemption. Jason knows that he’s minimizing the number of preventable deaths by killing his targets, typically Characters Who Simply Do Fucked Up Shit Just Because, Why The Fuck Not?

Secondly, Jason is compassionate … to a fault. That was his fatal flaw. If he wasn’t so hell-bent on saving his potential birth mother he just met from that bomb despite everything she did to him prior, he could have protected himself instead, however slim his odds of survival were. What about his relationship with his other parents? He was a caregiver during his early childhood years for Catherine, until her death. Even mature adults who are financially stable find being a caregiver to a dying parent to be extremely burdensome on their bodies and minds, but he never complained about it or resented Catherine for being unable to care for him. Despite how none of his parents have really been what he needed them to be, he doesn’t blame them for their failings, and even continues to think highly of them (Bruce included).

And post-death? Enter Lost Days. Despite being dead set on plotting his revenge on Bruce, he constantly sidelines this in order to save other victims who are helpless like he once was. His own anger, trauma, and mission don’t remain his priority. (Sound familiar? Something something my own trauma above my son’s, mission above all else, etc.). Why would he waste precious time and risk his own life to do this if he wasn’t empathetic towards these victims or didn’t care about doing the right thing. He is simultaneously horribly traumatized and full of rage, and also incapable of ignoring what’s happening to victims around him (even as he claims that it’s indeed not his priority). And in that same vein, the entire premise of his rebirth outlaws run was that he doesn’t care if the public views him as a villain, an outlaw, so long as he can protect Gotham. And anyway where is this portrayal of him not caring about being in the right anymore. Almost every modern Jason story is about him grappling with where he stands with Bruce/Batman. During the early 2000s was probably the last time he did not care (hello, tentatodd??).

Jason has very evidently been portrayed as a kind and compassionate character. He is also simultaneously a calculated killer who doesn’t hesitate to kill when he deems necessary, and does so without remorse. It’s called being a Complex Character With An Edge™ that as you said, people so often claim to love. However when he fulfills that latter part, that seems to upset people because “killing bad”, and they then try to shave off and round out all his edges and claim he shouldn’t be that angry. In that case I guess you should just stick to liking traditional one-dimensional characters instead of claiming to like Jason but then encouraging his character assassination attempt by dc. Lol.

Lastly, who said anything about the batfam making Jason happy? Just because he’s written nowadays to want acceptance from Bruce (a shoddy attempt at forcing a non-existent nuclear batfamily), doesn’t mean that it’s a sound decision or that it does his character justice. I certainly don’t empathize with the idea that Jason needs the family’s approval or acceptance to be happy. (And anyway he has enough outlets for angst and pain aside from the batfam hello explore his other sources of trauma and do more deep dives into how he thinks when he’s alone). I don’t want them to magically make up and become one big happy family. This is not disney Lol. Besides, there are plenty of stories from dc that have that type of “wholesome” (hate that word utilization) characterization for Jason (Li’l Gotham, Tiny Titans, wfa, and even new stuff like the brave and the bold mini) and that is sufficient imo. Jason fans who are invested in the character deserve accurate, nuanced characterization and well-written stories, whether they be from his robin days (e.g., Batman: The Cult) or as red hood.

#fellas. ya know what else is wholesome? avenging your own death #you can have moments of ‘reconciliation’ or peace but still maintain a strained relationship which is far more realistic #‘he’s an asshole that kills’ and Bruce is an asshole who doesn’t kill. lol. #you can’t claim Jason’s conflicted and disturbed but go on to say Bruce is perfectly sane those two are mutually exclusive #also please realize that a character acting out of anger does not mean they lack compassion. #implying that he doesn’t care about doing the right thing is saying the same thing that person said; #that he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing. that he hasn’t thought through his moral stance. #‘Jason didn’t put any thought into anything he did in utrh he’s just a poor mentally ill lost soul who needs the batfam’s love to heal 💔’ #🤝 #‘jokers just a poor victim of society 😔 he just needs someone to understand him and maybe one day he’ll heal and realize he’s wrong’ #what they both have in common is that they’re misunderstood in opposite directions #the joker doesn’t have a point to prove. there’s no deeper meaning behind what he does. everything is a joke to him. #he isn’t unaware of right vs wrong lmfao #jason todd #dc #asks #my post #and I think you’re implying that he’s utilitarian based on that last part but I don’t think he is #user mintacle posted a few metas regarding that and again they explain it much better than I prob could #anyway it isn’t difficult to understand his character if you know why you like him and you actually read his stories #that post specifically was from someone who clearly said they did not read the comic so. technically they’re on their own wavelength #edit: grammar

growing up going to my grandparents church was so funny like hello small child you are inherently wicked and foul for merely existing and you should be sorry. you have to follow all these secret rules and not question them and if you have doubts that is the evil trying to get you and you have to constantly fight it or you'll be on fire for the rest of time. btw God loves you so much so be grateful.

#like when it's my own grandfather at the pulpit saying this stuff #and i know him and trust him and love him #the same guy who told me silly stories about a little man who lived in his pocket #you really believe it. you think it has to be true. #and when you feel like it doesn't make sense well that's the Devil trying to win your soul #so cool anyway I have ocd now

Me: God I love Valentino’s design but he is such a pice of shit

My brain: don’t worry we have Good Valentino at home

The Good Valentino at home:

So I gave Valentino a nice twin! Meet Fabio everyone!!!

In hell because he did the straightest thing you can do: kill a man (several men actually), Fabio is also involved in the sex work industry but in the “small brothel that has medical insurance and strict consent rules where he keeps all of his workers hidden from the exterminations and Valentino and his bullshit”

He meets the Hazbin gang after the battle with the angels when the writing on the wall tells him the Val and his weird stalker tv boyfriend and their lesbian mean friend will start a power grab and turf war and he feels that his small safe brothel will not remain as such for long. So off to the hotel he goes with his 20 or so girls, guys and non-binary pals.

Angel nearly has a heart attack when he sees him at the door for obvious reasons

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel oc #angel dust #he doesn’t make soul contracts like his brother because having that kind of power #over another person scares him #he fears becoming like his brother every day #what do you do when you share a face with the worst guy you know? #velvet and veneer kinda beat #Fabio knows Valentino is like that out of his own volition because their parents little corner store sure as hell was no sweat shop #this man has no previous trauma to pretend to have shaped him in the monster he is today and Fabio knows it #also I have an idea for a Romeo and Juliet kinda story with him where he fell in love while alive with a radio host #and for a time he hoped that the radio demon was his Roberto #but he finds out that no that’s a whole other man #in other words I’m inventing in the back of my mind the character of the radio angel #but that’s for another post

#this is especially funny now that i got a new job and it has like... barely anything to do with my degree LMAOOOO #mostly bc the job market is rough rn and i kinda need the money more than anything... but damn LOL #and then he proceeded to give me a speech about his own road to becoming a hygienist #how he started in business but then hated it so he started dj-ing #then found that he got bored of it and so he went to med school. but found that too much of a hassle as well #so now hes in dental school and working as a hygienist as he completes his schooling and is NOW debating on changing careers again #and like noah fence to the guy i know he was trying to be encouraging about how 'ur degree shouldnt shackle u to one type of career' #but also his carefree nature is sending alarm bells in my head bc the only ppl who speak like that are people who can Afford #to soul search like that. bc if i knew my parents are there to catch me if my new venture failed #damn i'd do fucking whatever i wanted to as well!! but ofc idk if hes really rich like that #he did have an aura tho. rich people aura. they got a way of talking sometimes... especially western ppl.... #ANYWAY.... just wanted to share how i got scalped with my mouth wide open filled with blood thank u for listening to my ted talk #zee talks

I want to think that Dalv was actually protecting Kanako against Integrity. That they were hanging out at Honeydew Resort when Chujin brought the space heater to Honeydew. That Kanako was looking at Dalv's pictures and drawing a picture of him. That Integrity looked at Kanako and grinned and said, "Free EXP." That Dalv saw them coming and knew they were bad news and they were after this small child. That Dalv knew he was strong enough to fight for her, give her time for her father to come rescue her. That he jumped in between them and took the first hit. That he fought back until he was down to the "spare or kill" point. That he gave it his all at that point and struck such a blow that Integrity seemed dead. That he was so mortified by what he'd done that he ran away from the scene, never knowing that he'd left Integrity with just enough strength to get up and run away to hide in Waterfall.

#undertale yellow #dalv #integrity soul #blue soul #my headcanon #i choose to believe that dalv is MUCH stronger than he ever seemed #he told ceroba and starlo that he held back when he fought us #i can't imagine why unless he DID know his own strength and hated himself for it #i like dalv ok #i need to see more dalv love #and i really really REALLY hope ut blue someday includes dalv

🪄 and 🌙 for Tillda please!

Sure thing!

Q: "🪄 (Magic Wand) - Are they capable of wielding magic? Is it a learned skill, or is it innate? What sorts of spells can they cast? Do they possess any magical items or artifacts? [e.g. the Dimensional Mantle]"

A: I headcanon that Taranza's species as a whole (including Tillda) have innate abilities in both plant and web magic (and probably crystal magic too). But that doesn't mean all of them practice or use that magic on a regular basis—Tillda, for example, rarely has a major reason to make webs aside from doing her hair, and she almost never uses her plant magic. So, she's not exactly battle-tested, but she wouldn't hesitate to sling a spell or two in self-defense.

PS: If Taranza's is pink and Sectonia's is golden, I think Tillda's magic aura ought to be purple!

(continued answers + sketches under the cut!)

PPS: It was mostly Tillda that supported Taranza's study of puppeteering magic (which is NOT one of their species' innate abilities). She didn't understand the first thing about it herself, but it was one of the few things that continued to make her little brother genuinely cheerful in the wake of their parents' sudden absence, so… escorting him to puppetry classes and sorcerers' seminars was soon just part of life.

Q: "🌙 (Moon) - Is your OC a particularly light or heavy sleeper? Somewhere in-between? Do they take naps?"

A: I would have to think Tillda is a heavy sleeper. Her job is pretty stressful and she always comes home tired. And she does take naps, but never intentionally…

(To be honest, she probably has chronic fatigue.)

possibly my favourite lhl meta now is that extremely galaxy-brained half hour video essay on b站 exploring essentially one thing:

llh can be read as a "mother" and a symbol of femininity/maternity in its purest form

what if feminine and maternal qualities can be uncoupled from biology and patriarchy. what would it look like. it would look like lxy's rebirth as llh. it would look like llh's nurturing and guidance of fdb. it is essentially the spirit of freedom and life llh held. it transcends any notions of gender.

feeling more validated than ever. and this is also far more than i've ever asked for. my brain has been rewired. i'm kissing you on the mouth op

#all things considered. like. i thought my lhl takes were...galaxy-brained enough #and the ideas op discussed does fall in line with them #BUT OP TOOK IT at least 100x further????? ??????? #the worms are worming DID YOU KNOW THE BRAINROT COULD GET WORSE #it's like the optician putting on another pair of lens after you thought the last one was clear enough #i'm sorry this is the reading i'm alr choosing to hyperfocus on #lhl #my posts #it's actually premised on a reading of llh being a parental figure to fdb. so it's def not for everyone #(not only did op call that ep 19 scene an inflection point in their rs but specifically one that llh adopts fdb as his own child #i passed out from how deeply that reached into my soul and shook me into consciousness) #it is essentially highly debatable... i alr subscribe to such a framework for the story so it's no issue for me #i realised a buddhist or general philosophical reading of lhl is more or less common on cnet #BUT this meta is lowkey controversial even on cnet. so imagine how galaxy-brained it must be
