(not in chronological order)

I mentioned this in my youtube community post earlier too, but I found a song that goes REALLY well with P3's story(you can take my word on it because I'm good with stumbling upon ones that work so well)

so I may make a movie!! wish me luck

#persona 3 #persona #persona 3 reload #p3 reload #doodle #I might die midway making it but aT LEAST I CAN TRY #the first drawing turned out to be like..the best drawing I ever drew of the protag thus far so..I should push myself #and make this one the best looking one I've made as of yet..hopefully #hope reload turns out to be great ;v;

Weird Question to pop out of the Blue BUT- I was thinking about Drawing Tony for an AU idea I had and was wondering if I could take inspiration from yours? (Still haven't Read GGY yet but uhhh- I can still think he's silly and draw him)

sure dude no problem! I'd also like to mention that my design is inspired by @/glitchpunkz design, but also I just had a very similar idea of Tony to theirs while reading GGY and our designs are just similar in general. there are definitely aspects of mine that are inspired by theirs though so. thought I should mention that

#also plz read ggy as soon as u can #everything having to do with tony and Gregory get better if youve read the book #its also just good af #tony Becker aka one of the best fnaf book protags ever #thanks for asking =) #pandas.txt #pandas asks #tony design-ception #he just has a very specific vibe

like, I get why people don't like edgelord style characters and find them exhausting, i really do. but I was raised by a style of book that exclusively features edgelord protagonists that intentionally bars them from experiencing a single moment of dignity in their entire lives, and I think that explains why I love them, actually

#an edgelord character allowed to retain dignity? boring. who cares #an edgelord character who is made the center of an insane slapstick comedy routine at least once a day? you have my attention #like yeah all these UF protagonists wear black and leather and are ''badasses'' #they are also losers constantly losing fights. their best friends are hairless cat demons or detached vampire heads kept in a gym bag #or a perverted miniature unicorn who can talk and lives in your underwear drawer #(all real examples. yes they are ALL real) #to truly be an edgelord the narrative must rob you of all dignity. it is a MUST #rosie reads #(every day i get closer to writing some absurd dissertation about UF protagonists that no one but me would care about) #i mean there are absolutely UF series that take their protags too seriously and anyway that' why i don't fuck with gena showalter #or kevin hearne (derogatory) etc etc #karen chance writing the dorina basarab series though? she understood the assignment better than most ever will

leo dooley woulda been a lot less lovable if anyone else played him imo

#tjw is king #literally made him my favorite disney protag #but fr though leo is a huge asshole lmao #like just by lines alone #so all hail tjw for saving him and making him one of the best characters just ever #lab rats #leo dooley

HI I REALIZED SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY ISN’T INTENTIONAL WHILE LOOKING AT N IMAGES ON GOOGLE

Does this sound familiar

again probably not intentional but OH MY GOD I WILL SEE IT AS SUCH UNLESS IT GETS DENIED I love the parallels of how the normal Pokemon traditions become so warped and sad when its in the context of N in particular

#natural harmonia gropius #n harmonia #n pokemon #pokemon black and white #pokemon bw #anipoke #pokemon #LIKE. SO MUCH OF N TURNS THE THEMES OF POKEMON FROM CHEERY TO TRAUMATIC #I still love how with N so much of what he strives to be without the context of plasma is pure heroic #like saving creatures from abuse would be seen so positively in other media #and it still IS shown as heroic but like. Its also signs of the brainwashing N went through #He was fed propaganda for so long. He was fed that people were the generic monsters and he had to quest to save them #its almost kinda like an old school anime setup. But instead of childhood wonder Pokemon itself gives to trainers #its instead tragic. Being so heavily sheltered before finally being let out to become the very best like no one ever was #but instead of being that just for fun and to bond. Its to be a pawn in a grand scheme #Theres so many parallels to N and every protagonist. Him leaving the castle was like the protagonist leaving the house at the start of games #even his HAT. THAT HAT IS SO SIMILAR TO MOST MALE PROTAGS #Had he been raised in different circumstances. Away from Plasma...I think he really would have been like one of the protags #of course speaking to Pokemon would impact that somewhat. But he still would have had a normal ish childhood #and even after everything. Hes allowed to recover. He is becoming the cheery protagonist he paralleled so long ago. Hes healing #Even with healing. He is using his experience to help others. He still holds some of his past views. #hes using what he learned with what he organically knows to his advantage and to continue his mission without Plasma manipulating him #sorry for the big tag ramble just....AUGH I LOVE N SO MUCH HIS STORY IS SO AMAMAZING #will forever love this dude and everything he stands for he means the world to me

All the other villains from every franchise ever are just mad bc they can’t be Viggo Grimborn from Httyd: Rtte.

#httyd #rtte #viggo #viggo grimborn #best character i swear #they all WISH they could be as epic as him #but they can't #no other villain #will ever have his stupidly op intellect #or his charisma #or his connection with the main protag #bc whichever one of them wins or loses #they both come out looking twice as cool #it's a mutually beneficial relationship #also every villain from everything ever wishes they could have a fraction of his excessive op competence #my guy is just the most competent person in the room at all times and i adore him for it #also his looks #and accent #suffice it to say: 'best character' #yeah if you didn't know i loved him before #you sure do now amirite #obsessed with this fictional bastard (respectful) #and the scar! #post s4! #and the triple cross episode! #well fuck i'll have to make a very very in-detail post about how much i love triple cross at a later date #well this is stupidly long #i love him okay!

Not to sound like a thirsty loser but PLEASSWEEE HOW HAS THERE NOT BEEN A MOVIE MADE ABOUT PETER AND THE CLONES. Like I know we had Ben/Kaine(??) in one of the animated series but uh IDK MAYBE SOMETHING MORE GEARED TOWARDS AN ADULT AUDIENCE. AND PLEASE DON'T LET THE MCU DO IT FIRST BECAUSE THIS SCREENSHOT HAUNTS ME

#how come Ben hasn't been the protag to an animated series or anything outside of the comics ever #(as far as i know) #the lost years is one of the best comics I've read do you know how hard a series for that would go #OR LIKE ANYTHING?? I'M STARVING OVER HERE. ALL I HAVE IS A SERIES MADE FOR KIDS AND LIKE TWO MINUTES OF BEN IN ATSV #jay's bullshit #ch.: 🕸️

sometimes i get so obsessed with imagining how stories would've changed if the parent(s) survived. it always completely upsets the story's foundation and sometimes even invalidates the whole entire plot, but a lot of times it also brings up a lot of additional problems that are really fun to chew on in a what-if scenario.

#it's also a great opportunity to make cookie cutter “dead parents” into 3-dimensional people #like sure things would have turned out better for the orphaned protag if their loving parents were both around #but it might also create equally big problems when it turns out the protag's parents are also making plot-relevant decisions #that maybe don't work out in the protag's favor #what happens if the protag and parents have a clash of values? #what happens if the parents (despite trying their best) still fuck up their kid? #if one parent is supposed to be a foil to the protag then how does their survival affect that symbolism? #“what if this flat dead character lived” aus involve a lot of hard and boring work so i understand why no one ever writes them #but like. i can't stop thinking ab the implications of such a story #what happens when the saintly dead parent characters survive to become flawed and human #sage speaketh #trope talk

#initial d is so fucking ironic bc its such an awesome manga&prob one of The best parts is takami as the totally spaced #protag who doesnt even know the car hes been driving since he was 12 is an 86 initially #but somehow every motherfucker who worships it manages to be exactly like itsuki his annoying big mouthed worthless best friend lmao #none of them would ever admit it but it never fucking fails lmao. #i hate the main demo of every hobby or interest i fucking have its why im gonna be lonely forever LMAO. #... the other reason why its amazing is bc it manages to get across all the homoeroticism of a typical shounen anime/manga lmaooo. #while being entirely about cars.

i finished the girl who fell beneath the sea it was pretty good

#i finished it a lot quicker than i thought i would! #i liked the characters a lot but honestly the plot as a whole felt kinda..messy #like there were a LOT of interesting bits of lore introduced #that either never really came up again #or were introduced out of nowhere just for one scene u know #but the writing itself was good and again i rlly liked the characters #i mean mina was. okay #she's not the best ya protag i've ever read but she's definitely not the worst either #but honestly if i were discussing this book with a friend #i would suggest just reading six crimson cranes and then the dragon's promise instead #VERYY similar plot and setting and vibes but imo six crimson cranes was wayyy better #i need to try and finish big machine before monday but honestly idk if thats gonna happen #i still have like 200 pages left and i'm. not loving it #it's kinda boring which is disappointing #cause i read the changeling last year and really liked it but this book is just not doing it for me so far #i have a copy of lone woman sitting in my car that i'm gonna read eventually i hope that one's better :') #anyways #now that i'm reading again i need an outlet to talk abt the books i've read #so #📚. #(<- book talk tag) #snow.txt

I love tfa it's my favorite transformers show but also it sucks and I hate it

#i feel like theres always smth i go ''this couldve been done better I'm disappointed'' #bc i do get frustrated on things like bulk & bee being shoved to being the Silly Boys and the writers dont bother taking them as seriously #and how some stuff felt like didnt get as much time as they should have #though i cant rlly fault that too much on the writers since the show literally got cancelled #but i swear i do like this show it has charmimg characters and style and humor #and has one of the best human main cast protags do not @ me we all know sari is the best #i just love complaining thats my hobby im a hater #i wish there was a show that carried the vibes of tfa. but they do it better and fix most everything i dislike abt tfa akdhdjlfjfdljfkf #just give me better written bee & bulk and I'll be okay. also put more scrounge in the show /j #theres more stuff i have qualms with but i cant remember rn shruggies #fingers crossed for earthspark . i think this show has the potential to give me what i want (minus bulkhead but alas 💔) #earthspark. i see u making bee the mentor character. #can i please have a bumblebee taken seriously as a character & not just reduced to the kid appeal character pls pls pls big huge puppy eyes #AND HES SEEMS TO BE A FUNNY SILLY GUY AKIN TO TFA BEE yes!!! #like girl are u gonna give me everything i ever wanted from a canon bee characterization and if so can i kiss u passionately #🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦

slams hand against the table how is it i'm only finding NOW hosoyan sang one of my fav FE songs ever in the actual game (i am talking about lost in thoughts all alone)

is this my punishment because i only finished the first game in fe:fates and i don't own any DLCs. and i'm only halfway through blue lions in fe:3h

#kuu.txt #i need to catch up so bad with this series #i want to play the 3 fates games in one sittting #and 3 houses is being immensely fun #still. recovering from the deers #more like still recovering from whatever claude's s rank support scene was #praying dimitri has something better or i'll scream again #let me say i'm awfully tempted to date quite a few people in the lions too #also the male protag really has some of the best options ever.... my wife hilda......

anways i just finished reading the silver eyes and i’d like to humbly request scott to go ahead and cashapp me thousands of $$$ + interest for the time i’ve wasted trying and failing to give this book the benefit of the doubt

#personal #it wasn’t like. the WORST book i’ve ever read (honorary mention the left hand of god </3 literal waste of paper) #but between the random POV jumps and the subpar writing style and the misspellings and the ‘said he asked’ GOD #the book doesn’t feel like it actually starts until the last 3 chapters #and idk about anyone else but the main protag charlie is kind of rude 😭 she definitely had some thoughts that caught me like #HUH???? GIRL THATS YOUR FRIEND? why are you even THINKING such mean things about your friends????? #i liked dave’s scenes whenever he showed up 🫶 that scene when dave is explaining the springlocks while carlton is straight up entombed in #a springlock suit 💚💚💚 one of the better scenes of the book #also this book seemed REAL scared to include the literal main star of the show in its writing. like it goes on and on about bonnie and foxy #and then i think there’s like. a grand total of 1 & a half pages that talk about freddy #the music box is so cool!!!! the image of freddy standing at the end of the hall while he’s playing the music box is FANTASTIC!!!! #but aside from that & one sorta chase scene. freddy is never mentioned again #like sheesh 😮‍💨 #don’t even get me started on john 🤬 the whole ‘chemistry’ between him and charlie #was mediocre at best and nonexistent at worst #the ONLY two characters i liked were marla and carlton. but even then they were both pretty 1 dimensional

WHICH TYPE OF PROTAGONIST ARE YOU ?

healer's burden

most of what i can say here is sheeesh….yikes…..ouch…. so you don't have a savior complex, because you understand that's toxic. you're not here to save anyone: you're here to heal them, with or without them knowing, because you love so much and care so deeply and you're very stubborn about it. there's no one on this earth that you wouldn't give a helping hand to--but it's called a burden for a reason, because this isn't a one-person job. as a protagonist, you're determined and selfless, but as a person, you probably need a break. heal yourself for a little, okay?

the spiteful wonder

ooooh, you're underestimated--and pissed about it. are you a middle child? hm. these are protagonists who get told to do one thing and do exactly the opposite. life is on your terms, not anyone else's. your failures and successes are on the same level of consequence, but you do feel as if something about the world is inherently unfair--and you're just reckless enough to think you can change that.

the prodigy

now this is most like the child protagonist who witnesses complete incompetence and feels so trapped in it that they have to find their way to a better tomorrow (all by themselves). whether it's wit, intelligence, creativity, privilege, or skill, you use your assets to their utmost, usually under the guidance of someone who knows how to hold you back just enough. you've earned your triumphs, and your adventures help you find power and control where before there was none. and sure, the arrogance can be quirky, but like, in very small doses.

#. okay. so. listen. i like to take quizzes multiple times. both for curiosity's sake as well as consistency & see what fits most #. & ... all three of these fit. i can't pick which fits the most thEY ALL FIT. #. also the 'so you don't have a savior complex' BUT HE DO. HE DO THO!!!!! #. also lmao m2 being called a child prodigy / protag... which he... is. he's the pkmn protag that didn't get his own game #. he did get his own movie(s) tho so ig that evens things out. #. but i mean it fits too cuz like?? in MSB M2 literally called himself the world's strongest pokemon master!!!! #. he was gonna be the very best like no one ever wasssssss #. ahem. anyway. yeah. all of this. #. dash games tbt.
