#like they’re both sides of him

I FINALLY WATCHED EP 5 ANAKIN IN CLONE WARS ARMOR AHHHHHHHHHH.

also. i was talking about his characterization in ahsoka compared to in the clone wars w my friend, and we were like “idk anakin in tcw wasn’t that intense” which true BUT. in tcw we rarely see anyone but obi-wan or someone anakin already doesn’t like push back on him. like ahsoka in tcw would always be up for the joke. but then here she isn’t. and anakin gets PISSED. and i think that’s actually such an apt characterization like he’s fun until he’s not. he’s super fun in tcw bc ahsoka loves him and her introduction to how war is is with him, so yeah joking on the battlefield while clones are dying next to them is fine that’s how it goes, it’s not callous or disrespectful, it’s war. but then ahsoka in ahsoka, who’s been at war for years on years and has had time to reflect on her experience and is just older now, pushes back. she says “that’s not funny, why are you joking here??” and anakin turns immediately. and i think that’s such an important thing to see here, like anakin is fun until he’s not. he’s fun until you tell him no, and then he’s dangerous. it really highlights his immaturity, particularly his emotional immaturity, as well as his desperation to be absolutely loved and adored. if the people around him don’t play ball or if they’re not amused and loving and accepting always, then he’s pissed, they’re doing something to hurt him, they’re being unreasonable and cruel. he can’t accept a perspective that’s not his, and i think that scene really bridged the gap between tcw anakin and prequels anakin. like we see him funny and nice in tcw because ahsoka plays ball. we see him intense and brooding and scary in the prequels (esp rots) because obi wan and padmé and the council don’t.

#anakin skywalker #ahsoka tano #ahsoka series #star wars #obi wan kenobi #padmé amidala #like he’s great!! he’s great #and then he’s not #and when he’s not he’s NOT. #i always found it a little jarring to go between tcw anakin and prequels anakin #but this episode really melded them #like they’re both sides of him #they both exist inside him #he’s fun AND he’s dangerous #he’s nice AND he’s mean and intense #he’s your best buddy until you don’t play along #he’s so!!!!! #THE LAYERS #THE DEPTH #I LOVE HIM

Personally I think percabeth is at its best when Grover is in it. I don’t necessarily mean in a polycule way I just think it’s great when he’s around

#just you and me and me and you just us and our friend Grover :) #he IS a third wheel. however he’s a very appreciated 3rd wheel who is never left out of anything except make out sessions. #he comes on 90% of their dates and would probably come on all of them but he’s Busy :( #and also he exasperatedly tells them that a date should probably include only the people dating. he’s tired of watching them make out okay. #like he’s genuinely happy for them but for the love of PAN. he is RIGHT HERE. #they both smack his ass as they do each others and like to pretend to break up with each other to date him. they flirt with him sometimes. #there are no romantic feelings involved on either side. annabeth and Percy just think they’re hilarious #when they get married they’ll probably end up marrying him too tbh. even just spiritually. he probably lives with them #percabeth #pjo #grover underwood #annabeth chase #Percy Jackson

I kinda love how the moment Leo got his dual wield katana back, he adapted so much more naturally to his teleportation abilities.

Not to say he didn’t come around with the odachi, but it was pretty clear that he struggled hard with the mystic properties of it, and I think that it’s partially because while the odachi itself is a portaling tool that seemingly most anyone can use, Leo’s innate mystic abilities call for something to work with him, not for him.

So it makes perfect sense why his katana, made from himself and more in line with how he naturally fights, finally allow him to seamlessly grasp his space warping abilities to the extent he can.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #I would also like to add that at the end of the day both swords are still just tools #and I believe without those tools Leo’s mystic ability can be very very dangerous for him #not only do the swords act as a mental harness of his teleportation and portals #but also and more specifically they act as anchors #teleportation is!!! really scary actually!!! you have to be VERY skilled or be VERY careful to not be trapped in like #solid mass or in the middle of the ocean or even in between realities #might be better for Leo to rely so heavily on his swords in terms of his mystic abilities because if he decided to do as Mikey did #and go without them #uh #probably wouldn’t end well! #can easily imagine a scenario where the boys all like #get mystic sickness #and their abilities go way outta wack #with Leo he’d just be flitting in and out of existence #okay I stop talking now listen I just love Leo and I reallyyyyy adore his mystic abilities they’re so fun esp the teleportation #edit: side note but it’s also notable that in the turtle tot short #Leo even as a tot was wielding the dual katana naturally and without issue #he was always meant to use them so having a heavy odachi instead would of course be a bit of a learning curve for him

I’m thinking about Gwen and Elyan tonight folks….. they were siblings, finally reunited after years, reconciled, and obviously cared for one another very much and there were hardly any on-screen interactions between them save for episodes where either one of them was in danger of some kind. Sigh.

I also know for a fact their exchanges would’ve been hilarious because it seemed that Elyan was the one person that knew how to annoy Gwen at light-speed LOL

I’ve been playing…pizza tower…

(adding a tag I saw that made me burst laughing) “MAMA MIA LIMBO WE’RE REALLY IN IT NOW”

#just because he’s Italian colored doesn’t mean you have to listen to him man… #mine #while drawing this I was like I can just do anything I want ever #save your local dying business with this one easy trick #ah dammit I just noticed I got the hands wrong again (pepinos hands have the thumb on the wrong side rip) #ever since playing I just wanted these two together lol I think they would be friends :) #anxiety ridden middle aged Italian man and … #should I spoil limbo?? ok I will #anxiety ridden middle aged Italian man and anxiety ridden sorcerer (initially) #friends!!! the potential is there #coming back into my own tags to add I think pepino would legitimately summon limbo instead of a berserker #they’re both violent creatures fueled by anxiety

[shyvioletlife]

Truly delighted by how many moments of this season are just hank and brennan being fans of each other and being happy to play a game together

Hank’s “was that written down?”

“No I just came up with it”

Vs

Brennan admitting he almost wept when The Fix was comforting Conrad and said “I think it’s time we unlearn that lesson”

#mentopolis #they’re just like me for real #it’s always very fun to watch people who are fans of one another and just happy to be able to work together get in the same room #cuz it also sounds like Brennan might have straight up partially designed this season around Hank’s interests #hank said Brennan let him choose what the campaign was going to be out of a couple different options #there’s just a lot of love for each others craft happening on both sides of the table #it really brings a smile to my face

I’m sorry for what I said in the tags of the ocean post. I’ll throw myself in the garbage. You can dm me your therapy bills.

But come on. That song.

Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity. But then the I am yours to the end, so won't you fall for me?

But then! The oh god I wish you were here. It’s like his timeline is all messed up and he’s thinking of the before and the during and the after all at once.

#cw grief and loss #sometimes I am personally attacked by my own thoughts #but imagine elderly Dew and Rain #quietly existing side by side #Rain reading another true crime novel while Dew noodles away on the guitar #but he can’t for too long because his joints are swollen and arthritic #Rain hears his breath change and knows he’s in pain #gently pries the guitar from him and then rubs the soreness away with his cool fingers #fingers that are now spindly the backs of his hands are like translucent paper with pretty blue age spots #and Dew still thinks they’re the must beautiful thing he’s ever seen #almost as beautiful as his face #and he tells him so and he smiles and all the lines in his face that come from laughter grief joy frustration all crease at ones #the both fall asleep watching some terrible tv show hand in hand on the hideous reclining sofa that Dew insisted they buy #because it’s comfortable and rain thinks it’s so tacky but he secretly agrees that the lumbar support is heavenly #Dew walks faster now that Rain but Rain would never know because Dew will always match his pace and never leave him behind #until he really does have to leave him behind one last time #fuck my entire life

Sometimes (not often and not referring to the proxy versions bc that’s its own thing), I’ll see someone call Masky and/or Hoody a killer and I sit there like. But they aren’t though. They tried to kill one (1) guy and technically Tim did later but that was purely self defense.

Their actual crimes ARE attempted murder, breaking and entering, theft(?), assault, and stalking, with maybe a few more, but 80% of the murders were caused by Alex. You can lump Tim’s kill count with Masky if you want (which brings him dubiously up to 2 if you count Hoody falling) but Hoody has a kill count of exactly zero.

They ARE very intimidating figures and highly important to the story but I definitely wouldn’t label them as killers!

#marble hornets #not talking about fanon bc that’s it’s own thing #but I HAVE seen it be mentioned off handedly in conversations about MH #and it always kinda confuses me! #because while there are a few cases of them attacking people other than Alex #they never go out of their way to do it y’know? #Masky tackles Jay twice but both times it wasn’t like Masky was seeking out Jay #Jay just ran into him #and obviously Hoody has his whole fight with Tim at the end #but that’s it’s own thing entirely #and in the Hotel both Masky and Hoody were trying to get Jay and Jessica AWAY from Alex #and Masky goes out of his way to attack Alex when Alex has Jay and Jessica and gunpoint #so in Season 2 at the very least they’re dubious allies #where they ARE on Jay and Jessica’s side but they aren’t working together #damn. that would be cool though. I gotta think about that. #SB Speaks #I’m rambling. this might be nothing

Y E S i live for sad bily facts

Okay so! Hiding them in the tags cuz I’m on mobile enter at your own risk

#seriously If you don’t want spoilers or to be apart of the angst dont click!!!!! #first off: jungkook dies first #a seizure takes him out at 55-60 and it’s partially namjoon’s fault #namjoon doesn’t catch him before he hits his head and he goes through a period of depression after and eventually comes to the conclusion #that jungkook would have forgiven him and he would have #the kids take it the worst especially their youngest who ends up sleeping between the mc and tae for a full year #as for the next angsty tidbit- yoongi dies before the m/c #and she’s actually really really happy because he never got to know what a dead mating mark feels like like she’s actually very thankful #tae and the m/c and hobi are the last ones alive and they leave the house to their kids and retire to a smaller seaside cottage #hobi only gets to live in it for a few weeks before he passes at like 80 #the mc and tae live for a few more years after that both of them with their dead mating marks on the sides of their necks #the spend most of their time with their grand pups of which there are 8 of one of which looks so much like namjoon that #tae in her haze of dimentia actually talks to him like he is namjoon #tae and the m/c pass hours from each other though like #maybe less than 3 hours #and live until they’re 91 years old

it’s a throwaway line to keep the story mysterious and at a good pace, but I like how quickly alan denies saga and casey getting into contact with his loved ones when they were interrogating him. he could have so easily found out about alices disappearance and “death” years prior, but instead chose again to go at it alone for the sake of keeping them (alice and barry) safe. meanwhile, alice is in the dark place and barry is in a cult because blocking them out hasn’t actually put them in less danger or made anything better. they’re still haunted by him. it’s a nice contrast to when alan finally collaborates with saga and understands alice’s choice in returning

#alan wake 2 #in that same scene where saga tells Alan they’re on the same side when he hides manuscript pages from her #(that are about her!!) #something something character development #I just appreciate how well everything fits together by the end of the game #alan wake #barry wheeler #alice wake #99% I had another post like this but can’t find it w tumblrs tagging 😭 #it hurts my heart to think that barry is still out there thinking both of his closest friends drowned :( #i worry for him and want him back in a game #might delete

funniest thing abt bravern is that isami goes around saying shit like “there’s no point in saving the world if smith’s not here” “i’m not strong enough to do this but smith made me feel like i could” “hey smith i feel your dick” “smith gets full body waxes?” and also literally begging smith to talk to him from beyond the grave (in a callback to their first conversation no less!) and yet the poor dude is like. struggling to hold onto his spot as the third gayest character in his own show LMFAO

#realized today that bravern was Literally born to meet isami and. Man #[horse image] #i get it tho. isami’s such an unintentionally funny specimen i’d become a robot to hang out with him more too #i do like the henshin theories tho i’m ngl. i feel like any route the show could take w the State #of bravern/smith(/isami)(/lulu?) at the end #could absolutely work from a plot/narrative perspective & an emotional/character perspective #like it’s pretty wide open for having 3 episodes left imo #however the idea of everyone knowing full well what’s going on and bravern sticking around #and then every time he is needed smith does a funny little toku pose and isami puts on his BRAVERN THEMED SUIT and Gets Inside Him #the mental image cracks me up every time i think abt it LMFAO #(which like also side note. if the suit is based on bravern #but smith saw the suit before becoming bravern #does that mean that bravern is also based on the suit????????? #like i know they’re both based on spar kaiser in the end but. christ lmao) #a: bravern #bravern spoilers #t.bbbb #ch: isami ao

no wonder missy is insane about him. she just mindmeld trauma bonded with him and got confirmation through him that she was right the whole time about the thing that happened to her, AND then they traded life-saving moments. of course she wants her friend back. she needs him to see her again, as clearly as he did in that moment. she needs him to be like her, because among time lords, she is alone, but with the doctor, she isn’t.

#and also he looks like peter capaldi now and she wants to fuck that old man so bad #missy is very. masterlike in her affections. of course she is. but she’s also so so sincere about them too? #its jarring compared to simm!master because you have similar moments right u have like. ‘oh davros is your archenemy now? ill scratch his #eyes out.’ and yeah i could see simm!master saying that same thing same tone. because they are both freaks about the doctor #but this is the same scene where she tells the doctor he’s walking into a deathtrap and when he doesn’t back down. she walks into it with #him. it’s like she made a decision at some point that Of Course They’re On The Same Side Now. #that’s why she offers him the cybermen. that’s why she gives him clara. this is their side and it’s going to be the side that. if the #hybrid shit had come together as expected. would have destroyed gallifrey. and then there would be no time lords. just them. and they would #not be alone because of this. #and the thing is that. again havent started s10 im getting to it. but the thing is that missy decided this was true. #the doctor is not on the same page as her at all. #and that’s why its soooo! okay <3 break my heart forever then <3 #the doctor thinks missy has to earn. has to work at. being on his side. and missy thinks she already is and that it’s so so obvious. #u understand? #missy dw #the master #doctor who

saburo’s time in the mainstream spotlight has finally come but i wish it hadn’t been like this lmao

#this is vee speaking #i don’t chainsaw man and i just absorb whatever appears on my feed so idk who he is #but it’s got people going ‘they’re both gay and ugly’ and calling saburo a twink #so i’m like side eyeing this miri???? guy #and i haven’t stopped crying since lmao pls leave him alone he’s precious and a brat and he’s 14 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #*dying* w……..wh………who could be next i wonder……………..

every time theo ends up saving liam’s life it’s by pulling him to safety from behind… something to be said about liam silently trusting theo enough to give him his back (and theo’s unspoken willingness to have it even at the expense of his own safety).

#you can have my back any day. or you know. you could have mine. #something something you can be my wingman anytime bullshit you could be mine #sorry but ‘ive got your six’/battle boyfriends/girlfriends is one of my fav dynamics #i have one ship type at the end of the day…. #im not dying for you. im not dying for you either. but i will fight with you. lets fight. #guys… that was their mid fight oath to each other…. #theo in memory found: wraps his arms around liam from behind to drag him into the elevator away from the riders #theo in triggers: standing behind liam. pulls him to the side by his arm to keep him away from nolan and figure out whats wrong #theo in werewolves of london: walks up behind liam in the locker room and keeps him from killing gabe/doing something else he might regret #(side note the shot of their faces beside each other in the mirror is sooooo symbolic of theo being liam’s voice of reason in a lot of 6b) #theo in wolves of war: tackles liam from behind to keep the hunters from shooting him #ALSO theo in wolves of war: positions himself between the hunters and liam as they’re both running away so he can push him ahead/shield him #taking damage he probably could have avoided had he just ducked #LIKE. yeah. theo will probably never admit it but he is so protective in his own convoluted emotionally repressed way #and liam lets him do it also in his own convoluted emotionally repressed way bc he doesn’t HAVE to give theo his back or the room to be the #one that comes to his rescue #they are partners ! #:( my sons i miss them #thiam #theo raeken x liam dunbar #theo x liam #theo raeken/liam dunbar #theo/liam #teen wolf

see i would love to cook up the accidental drinking buddies zoro and tashigi fic and sprinkle some grief and Gender and discussions of morality over the top like garnish. but somebody broke into my house and rearranged and now i can’t find a damn thing in this fucking kitchen so i won’t be making anything
