[OLD ART ALERT] A COLLECTION OF SCENES FROM THE GILLIONS CATSCRATCH ARC THAT BROUGHT ME GREAT JOY. i love fishy chips especially when its just gillion being delirious and violent and hostile

#jrwi fanart #jrwi show #jrwi riptide #jrwi riptide spoilers #JUST NOTICED A MILLION MISTAKES FUUUUUUUUCK BUT WWHATEVERRRRR IF I STARE AT THIS ANYMORE IM GONNA HHUURRRLLL #SO I REALLY LIKE FISH AND CHIPS RIGHT. IVE BEEN IN LOVE W THE SHIP EVER SINCE THAT NAT 20 KISS #BUT I THINK I SHIP IT WRONG. OR LIKE. I AM CORRECT BUT EVERYONE SHIPS THEM DIFFERENTLY #THE FISH N CHIPS I SEE EVERYWHERE ELSE IS SO FLOWERY AND SWEET AND ROMANTIC. AND THATS NICE! THAT STUFFS NEAT #but gillion and chip would NEVERRRR enter anything similar to a romantic relationship. chips too damaged and gillions too uninterested #I LIKE MY FISH N CHIPS ONE SIDED AS FUCK #bc 2 gillion chip is his best friend in the whole wide world but hes also kinduvagross little man that took him a MINUTE to really warm up2 #but to CHIP gillion is this powerful and gorgeous and heroic paragon of destiny and his best friend in the whole world who will #bring about the eschaton. 'i didnt believe in destiny until i met you' until i met a champion radiating with a light thatll alter the world #OHH REMEMBER THE FIRST ICE ARENA?he was so mad.still probably shaking from the ordeal.NEVER had he felt true divine radiance CLEAVE through #his SOUL like that.do you remember that moment in the forest w the bugs. an alien from the ocean; lacerating the land w lightning #when the realization flickered in chip for a moment.that the thing standing before him was more powerful than he could ever fathom #remember when grizz mentioned that the nat20 kiss was the 'best kiss chip ever experienced'. that has nothing to do w this. where was i. #LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. BUT HEY. I THINK at the beginning chip absolutely knew that gill was smth grand n powerful n scary #when gillion revealed what exactly the prophecy was;chip got defensive and mad.sure he was sleep deprived but OOH. HES SCARED! #he believes gillion too! he believes that his destiny is to eradicate either the sea or land and that scares him! #but then he gets past it bc ultimately he trusts his bestfriend gillion so so much. he fuckin loves this dude. #he would throw himself intothe path of fire for this dude. he would boat across the ocean for this dude.he would build arenas for this dude #even if this dude will end half the world.even if this dude wields the power and the obligation to eradicate him at any second. #even if this dude is going to throw himself into harms way for his own comrades.even if this dude is just going to sacrifice himself. #one way or another one shall die for the other.these self-sacrificial bastards click so well with eachother!! #chip believes his body is best used to pave roads and gill believes his body is destined to pave prosperity.WHATEVER!! #i really love their dynamic!! they care for eachother so much!in MY heart tho. the icing on the cake here is the fantasy that chip is #just a bit more In Love w gillion than he realizes. like this powerful fish guy is HOT and PRETTY and KIND and FUNNY and LOYAL and STRONG #but gillion would never rly feel that same sort of attraction towards chip. its just not rly his thing. aroace as fuck man. #thats how it is in MY little heart atleast. and i sit here and play w my touys in my brain n i explore my silly lil one sided fish y chips.

Every once in a while, I think about how MC and Rime’s dynamic is the funniest and saddest thing ever.

Because…MC stole his life. Then his weapon. Then his job. Then his boyfriend. And then, depending how you play it, MC also steals his heart.

#it’s hilarious #I just feel so BAD for rime the entire time #can you imagine being him? being in his place? #well I mean I guess you can because you do exactly that in Felix’s route ahem #but the one you love robbing you of a peaceful and dignified death — only to fall in love with the stranger they summoned by accident #and then that stranger ends up in possession of your power and your weapon and your role in the team #all while YOU’RE STILL ALIVE — I mean YEAH you might have come back WRONG but damn #you are RIGHT THERE #if anyone cared…they probably don’t — they seem perfectly happy with your cheap knockoff #yeah that would make anyone a little bit spiteful #and then the punchline is that you never end up getting revenge for any of that because you too become enamoured with said cheap knockoff #that’s so tragic — and so funny #I love the path where we become friends because that’s essentially how it goes #stealing his heart either romantically or platonically — both work #I miss fictif’s last legacy #I kind of fell out of the app before dorian so I don't know if they ever finished that story #fictif #last legacy #rime solano varela #rime varela #felix escellun #felix iskandar escellun

The most insane but at the same time my favourite thing about the ships in Dungeon Meshi is that you don't really have so much content in the majority of the manga UNTIL you reach certain later chapters and THEN all the little things between the characters before and after these chapters get a different light and you can't UNSEE the ship.

And that's why, dear friends who haven't read/finished the manga, when you see fans obsessed with dunmeshi ships you don't get how real the madness is here.

#yes this is mostly about labru #but also other ships because the mangaka doesn't care to show something like this in her story and you know good for her #honestly the way romantic feelings and such are showed in the story is so interesting because they never lead to happiness by their own #in contrary with most media that show romance is the only path to happiness #anyway i am obsessed with dungeon meshi #also love the ships labru chilsi farcille and the one with namari and the girl i don't remember her name #dungeon meshi

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

#sorry this is so grainy this scene was so freaking dark #andrew garfield #the amazing spiderman 2 #peter parker #my gifs #10/10 would lie on his chest #this also makes me really want to touch his hair it looks so springy #I'm still thinking about that 'you're my path' part #that was so romantic and it gave me feelings #the end

Dicen que Johannesburgo, en Sudáfrica, es la ciudad del mundo con más cantidad de árboles plantados. Y allí se encuentra el Paseo de Jacarandas, un romántico camino lleno de árboles del mismo nombre.

Giving up to peer pressure (and by that I mean @tomasitaoficial 's)

My personal interpretation of

King Asmodeus

Prince of Lust, Lord of sex demons, Nephillim, Amaymon's protégé, unofficial representation of Wrath and Sloth.

Each head expresses the extreme version of his current state of mind;

The Bull is wrath, desperation, impotence and other similar emotions. It tends to express the King's honest and brutal opinion on things and is the most comfrontational. It's mouth is hot as lava and can even spit fire.

The Ram is depression, hopelesness, compliance and nihilism. This head shows Asmodeus' more grounded, although pessimistic, views. It tends to defuse conflict, even through self destructing ways to lower tensions. Of course, it's also a big yes-man. It's mouth is ice cold like a corpse.

The human head is mostly a mystery, it has been dormant for a long time. It used to be awake in Ozzie's youth, but at some point after being caged in Hell, it's consciousness seemed to fade away. Ozzie's top clients say it's mouth is barely warm but soft enough to get the job done.

#I love him sm #My baby #I make him go through horrors because I love him #Also- his place as King of Lust was forced onto him but nowadays embraces the responsibility #Asmodeus oc #religious figures #tw religion #tw religious themes #demonology #biblical fiction #Also he hates fish and is a hopeless romantic- Seriously I have SO MUCH about him #cuphead au #somehow #my au #my shit #white backround #suggestive themes #because Lust and stuff #tw body horror #I did what I could with the design #To connect it with the Cuphead stuff--- The Devil bullies him frequently when they cross paths #bible fandom #bible fanart #Omg these are actual tags- #bible fanfiction #ig??????

Currently feeling a bit feral over the fact that Natalia means Christmas Day - as in the birth of Jesus Christ and Bucks story is so heavily leaning into the birth death and resurrection of Christ - the saviour - as a central part of his narrative arc. Her presence is literally about the birth of buck - as in processing his grief about why he was born - as a saviour baby.

#Buck hasn’t processed that trauma that dates back to his birth #he was never allowed to grieve the brother he didn’t know he had #and then he was in a coma where he created this version of Daniel - a deep rooted trauma response in itself #but that’s brought the Daniel of it all closer to the surface of his concious #and he needs to process and grieve and allow himself to move on from that #and I think Natalia the death doula is a key part of this - because she is ideally situated to help him process that specific trauma #this isn’t so much about his own recent brush with death (although it’s part of it) it’s about going back to the beginning and processing #he needs to deal with the Daniel of it all before he can deal with everything else #in the same way we had Eddie going back to his own root trauma - with his father - and processing and dealing with things #via frank. this is just Buck taking a different path which will have a similar outcome #yes Buck May date her as he goes through this process but ultimately he’s attracted to her metaphysically - because she can help him #not because he’s actually attracted to her romantically #also the show has doesn’t too much time recently showing us the buddifer family - to ensure we can see where things are heading #before it continues to process their trauma #thinky thoughts #911 spoilers #911 on fox #911 fox #911onfox #evan buckley

Also on that train of thought

The fics that have Feyd Rautha simp for Paul not because of a competency kink (which is arguably canon to the film - isn't that the reason why y'all say he looks turned on in the film?) but because of a misplaced adherence to the Bene Gesserit prophecy/plans (that Paul was meant to be Feyd's match in marital affairs) is not as inspired as you might think it is. It's not brave to say oh this boy was promised a gf and now he's pussywhipped for the boy he got in her stead. You've just reinvented a trans chaser with extra steps.

Also, the idea that Feyd Rautha would put that much faith in a prophecy feels reductive for a character that is already not a major-major player in the plot. I still need to read the book to get a better gauge on his character, but I've heard that he appears for a grand total of 4 scenes, which is kind of more or less the extent of his appearance in the films too. I would hope expanding on his characterisation meant giving him more agency (or at least a drive towards emancipation and agency) and more ambition amidst all the plans that have been made for him long before he was born. If he's truly as power hungry as Part Two seems to suggest - he has the will to assassinate his uncle Baron Harkonnen until he was appeased by the appointment of stewardship on Arrakis and the prospect of marrying Irulan for the throne - then what makes you think he would settle for doing as the Bene Gesserit expects of him? If he pursues Paul as a partner it would be through his own means and for reasons that defy the BG's chokehold on the imperium.

#trans paul atreides #feydpaul #Paul is repeatedly shown to be weighed down by the visions and expectations of the Kwisatz Haderach #it's not romantic to surrender to the paths laid out by one's prescient abilities - that robs one of free will #that sort of existence is a prison in the context of the book #and so... the narrative of FeydPaul as intended soulmates is actually more limiting than it is liberating... #it would be more compelling to see them defy that prophecy #to decouple their relationship from the implications of the Bene Gesserit programme and still find meaning in their union #duneposting

Okay, so there's this legend where I'm from, in which the Sun literally raises everyday, and then, every night dies, and goes to The Underworld, if the Sun is capable of going through it all, and raising victorious from it, he gets to be reborn, and gets to shine once more, before dying once again, and repeating his adventure through The Underworld.

And if that isn't just the most Nipollo concept ever.

#apollo goes to the underworld fights everything on his path until he gets to see nico just for a little while and then he has to go back up #to resume his responsibilities but he already knows he will die and go through it all once more if only that means he gets to see nico #again that night #nico di angelo #apollo #nipollo #pjo #nipollo is just like the most overly sickly romantic couple in my opinion #luna says

anyway that's why i'm making a visual novel about dating skeletons. People don't do enough skeleton stuff and I'm gonna fill that hole my damn self because the only skeleton dating sim is a weAK ASS PARODY

#its not a dating sim because it doesnt have time management or stat management its mostly a VN with romantic/platonic path options #but by god it will explore what it means to be a person inheriting the baggage of a body that is now yours but wasnt once

[poebrey]

not going to lie as soon as Michael started talking about a first officer my mind jumped to Owosekun and Rhys and when Saru said Booker would make a good XO I was offended on their behalf because the man’s not even technically in starfleet

#star trek discovery #also I firmly believe they’re in love with #each other still just working through things which makes it a massive conflict of interest #and I loved loved loved Michael having someone outside of Starfleet she could lean on #because I was tired of her feeling indebted and obligated to the point of constantly risking her life for an institution #that failed her in childhood and then later used her as a scapegoat for an entire war #cleveland booker #michael burnham #Booker deserves to find his next path #and he and Michael can be a team romantically #also disclaimer I know Saru was talking about the *type* of person but there are like 80-some-odd people who have been on #Discovery for a minute like Culber? Pollard? #Tilly would make as bad of an XO to Michael as she did to Saru anyway #in a good way she’s too loyal to her friends
