I think Padme's character deserved to become unhinged and go absolutely batshit, as a treat. I want a scene where she's confronted by someone else - one of her handmaidens, Riyo Chuchi, Bail Organa, Captain Typho, someone - about how her love for Anakin has shown that she is outright compromising her morals, and how what she has isn't what it seems, and she just loses it, she demands, Why can't I have this one thing for myself, just once? I've given everything for Naboo!, and indeed she has - she lost her childhood, her chance to be a kid and then a teenager, she lost her safety and parts of her personhood in pursuit of making her planet better, and she just wants the illusion of this ONE thing, just this one thing

#padme amidala critical #i guess #like I LOOOVE her character and I honestly think this would've been so interesting #to explore how she is very very willing to compromise her goals and ethics to be with Anakin #for this illusion of love and this one thing that she's 'giving herself' #and I want it to be understood that yes her trauma did fuck her up! she is fucked up! #but also she is not innocent! she is so not the pure image that fanon wants her to be

May as well drop my brainchild in here to hear yalls thoughts:

Shadow milk cookie, to get pure vanillas soul jam, takes custard iii as a puppet to get it from him >:3

Requested Prompts #18 - 💔

After their most recent encounter chasing Shadow Milk Cookie to make sure that he got re-sealed in the silver tree, Gingerbrave and Co were left particularly... disturbed by the prior events. Shadow Milk had appeared to taunt them again, and to make another offer for Pure Vanilla's soul jam in exchange for leaving the Cookie Kingdom alone, but just the Cookie Kingdom. The rest of Earthbread would be left to be forced to be actors for his shows of trickery and chaos, and there was no way that any of them would let that fly. So that brought us to their encounter. Somehow, someway, Shadow Milk Cookie had gotten his shadowy claws upon Custard Cookie III, seeing how the young cookie was strung up like a puppet. Then, a threat was placed. " You care about this kid a lot, don't you, Pure Vanilla Cookie?' The beast had began with a wild grin. " I know you do, why else would you react so intensely?" Pure Vanilla wasn't given a chance to respond before Shadow Milk spoke again. " If you don't want to see him in pieces... Then I'd suggest handing over your soul jam." Shadow Milk Cookie grinned at the groups despair, before settling down to make his last statement before he disappeared. " Ascend the Spire of Deceit and Truth, that's where we'll be. I'll be waiting, Pure Vanilla Cookie!" The last part was spoken with a sweetened venom, before descending into a maddened cackle as both Shadow Milk Cookie and Custard III disappeared. And that, brings us to now. With our heroes standing outside the Spire of Deceit and Truth. But there was one thing lingering upon their minds, was the visage of Custard Cookie III an illusion presented by Shadow Milk Cookie in order to manipulate Pure Vanilla Cookie? Or... was it real? They had no idea if Shadow Milk could travel off of Beast Yeast, and even if he could, why would he come back? Surely he could just target one of the other three Soul Jam holders back at Crispia, right? Perhaps they'd find their answers at the top of the spire.

#cookie run #cookie run kingdom #cookie run au #crk #shadow milk cookie #cookie run au prompts #cr kingdom #beast yeast #pure vanilla cookie #custard cookie iii #custard cookie the third #is Custard III really in beast yeast? or was this one of Shadow Milk's illusions? that is for you to decide.

Atsushi's back in the game!!! ۶( ˆ o ˆ )

#And Kouyou!!!! #Also. I can say Steinbeck is kinda 👀👀👀 #King of the specific category of “I forget I like him until he's on screen” #I'm seriously unlocking memories with this rewatch. Like I haven't thought about it in two years– #but I just know when I was watching the anime for the first time I was being like #“Of COURSE the villains need to spend several minutes each episode explaining in detail how their own superpowers work so that the– #protagonists can get a perfect idea of how to best counter them. Why are villains made so freaking stupid in this show” aljhvwslchvqliyqwb #But. Eh. I guess that's just bsd to you. #Alsoooooo random thought of the day: I don't really favour how Tanizaki's ability was adapted in the anime. #I very well understand they were going for this green Matrix-like illusion effect‚ but every time someone says “... Snow?” #I'm like please explain where do you live that has snow glowing green. #Aamsjgvfaskjhfv sorry this is me being very. Cranky and nitpicky and having terrible audience etiquette in refusing to– #engage in suspension of disbelief. It just bugs me akvakcvqkyb I just feel like... Green is such a non-snow color– #that quite of completely disrupts the Light Snow / Sasame Yuki aesthetic. I would have liked it much better light blue or simply white. #What else. The way the Guild just goes on at stereotypes still troubles me a lot. The “usamericans can't be touched by laws– #because they use money to corrupt anyone” “foreign criminal organization come in our country to corrupt our pure and untouched soil” #Idk. Maybe all of it is true. Can it still be deemed a stereotype when it's objectively something that's happened before– #and will probably keep happening? #I suppose I'm just not a fan of the constant hostility against any foreigner. Idk. #This situation besides is extremely ironical. If you meet me irl it probably won't take long to see me being very outspoken about– #how much I despise usa cultural colonization of all other countries. It's something that really bothers me‚ how rooted and pervasive– #their influence is. So in a lot of ways I can relate to the author's sentiment #I just feel that. If you start treating them as stereotypes and ignore the complexity of a country and the wide spectrum of causes– #that contribute to its attitude in international relations. You end up practicing precisely what you're trying to criticize. #Okay this is the last time I'm getting into the politics of the Guild arc lol #random rambles #This time I took watching the episode slow I feel a little late

Following up from my post on the possible development of Ruby’s semblance, I recently noticed a rather interesting parallel between Ruby and Neo. Namely, has anyone else noticed that Ruby’s and Neo’s semblances share a very notable visual element?

Ie; both Ruby and Neo activate their semblances by enveloping themselves in a cloud of semi-tangible aura-particulates. In Ruby’s case, her rose petals. In Neo’s case, her light fractals. Both are even a shade of red.

Furthermore, if/when Ruby ever does start using her semblance for transformation/shapeshifting, I think it’s easy to imagine she would pull it off visually to how Neo shifts into her illusions, ie; being briefing enveloped in rose petals which leave behind her new form just as what Neo does.

And on top of that, I think it’s likewise easy to imagine Ruby as some point using her semblance to replicate Neo’s ‘actually a Neo-bot’ move, ie; when she takes a nasty hit in a fight only to shatter and reveal that was her hardlight doppelganger the whole time. Only in Ruby’s case, she takes a nasty hit only to burst into rose petals and reform unharmed.

Now, what are these parallels going to actually wind up meaning in practice?

Not sure yet. But I think it’s already pretty clear there will be some interesting interplay between Ruby and Neo this volume. And I have to imagine these similarities in their semblances may play into it.

#rwby #rwby volume 9 #rwby analysis #rwby theory #Ruby Rose #Neopolitan #character parallels #also ruby using her semblance for shapeshifting would basically make her the 'i'm you but better' to neo #ie neo's semblance is pure illusion while ruby would be able to make a transformation REAL

Huh, I just realized that:

In “Protection” Adrien revealed (to both us AND his father) that Emilie herself told him under which circumstances she and Gabriel met years ago. Rewatching “Passion” today, I realized that this explains Adrien’s shocked expression after Nathalie told him about how falling in love in her youth was... difficult for her:

While Nathalie most likely came into Gabriel’s and Emilie’s lives after Adrien’s parents met for the first time, I see no reason why Emilie would have told Adrien about her and Gabriel having come from two different worlds but never EVER would have spoken a single word of the adventures they went on with Nathalie. At the very least as exciting tales to tell for when her sheltered and lonely 5 year old son came up to her and asked to hear a story about “Maman’s and Papa’s adventures!”

Anyway. Where I’m getting with this is that after the reveal in “Protection” that thanks to Emilie Adrien knows about certain important things of his parents past of which even GABRIEL wasnt aware that Adrien knew of it (maybe never WANTED him to know?)

And that leads to the conclusion that Emilie told him about their adventures too hence why Nathalie was being so casual about her having been a treasure huntress and fighting snakes, but only in “Passion” would Adrien have found out that Nathalie has been in love with his father for THIS long already:

That’s what shocked him.

What other domino effects take place from these two moments is as for now still up to everyone’s own interpretation, but I’m definitely looking forward to see the rest of the season play out to find out what other subtle reveals - but with MASSIVE implications for the Agreste’s - are yet to come x3

#ml spoilers #ml protection #Ml passion #ml season 5 #nathalie sancoeur #adrien agreste #Mamayura and Son Noir #That subtle reveal from Adrien in Protection has me mentally doing so many cartwheels out of pure joy that I'm restarting the post for it #probably for the third time now #I'm having SO MUCH FUN this season with all these Agreste family reveals and details #Especially everything regarding Nathalie! #I still dont know how to properly approach her regarding the morality of her redemption and thats so interesting #s5 throws so many little curveballs at you which u sometimes dont even realize IS one but then you think about your previous assumptions #and go Hmmmmmm #Illusion Evolution Passion Protection and Emotion are my go to episodes for this #This season has so much amazing agreste stuff #so much is coming full circle or gets properly revealed to make it pay off in a subverting way #Nathalie is a moral enigma and shes the only person in the narrative who can pull that off for me

Doodledex - #570-A Hisuian Zorua

Normally, when you get these regional forms, the Pokemon has adapted to its new environment in some way and changed as a result.... This isn't the case here. Zorua who migrated to Hisui faced a very harsh environment, stiff competition from other Pokemon, and vicious attacks from humans... and ultimately, could not thrive under these conditions.

However, its those last two factors that enabled Hisuian Zorua to come back as very vengeful ghosts! Despite that melancholy expression, they hold a very bitter grudge against humans and other Pokemon for what happened to them (...and, technically speaking, their ancestors since they can still breed), and it's this grudge that fuels their illusions in this form.

#pokemon #doodledex #zorua #hisuian zorua #so you might be asking yourself 'why does it matter that hisuian zorua's illusions are fueled by spite'? #well it matters a ton considering hisuian zorua AREN'T DARK TYPES ANYMORE #they're actually normal/ghost! #apparently for zorua dying takes away their powers... and gives them an entirely new set of powers lmao #(as for why normal/ghost instead of pure ghost? not sure! #....though the environment being part of the reason for the normal variant's extinction in hisui might have something to do with it #...perhaps hisuian zorua are a bit more. *ahem* tangible #...as in they froze to death and their bodies were preserved)

Got a bit too much on my plate to draw full comic,so I made a comic using the Cookie Run Comic Maker for the Only Vanilla au. Pure Vanilla and White Lily Cookie have a chat.

Ooh, I like this very much!

#submission #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #pure vanilla cookie #white lily cookie #cookie run au #only vanilla au #kind of sounds like Pure Vanilla’s going through similar/the same research as White Lily did #is this White Lily genuine or is she Dark Enchantress’s illusion? #I’m not sure but I quite like this comic

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

dude bro jock jake- which you don't see a lot anymore really

also brooke being the definition of pure or innocent. she's not naïve, she's just one of the nicer characters (i suppose that goes for christine as well)

#lohst.txt #ask tag #theabyssgazesalsointoyou #god its so annoying when everyone assumes youre so innocent #and that you need protecting #god forbid someone is mean to you #god forbid you do something to break the illusion that youre innocent and pure and need to be sheltered #im tired. its 2am. its late. im editing my gay poetry again

Say what you want about Love is an Illusion, but it is -super- interesting how they’ve interpreted the rules of the omegaverse. It’s kind of amazing. But I also have questions.

I’m going to try to sort this out for myself here.

-

Alpha/beta/omega is a secondary sex? in addition to/in combination with male or female and determines (some of the) reproductive organs you have. Something like that.

• Female alphas: breasts and typical male reproductive organs

• Male alphas: typical male body and reproductive organs

• Female omegas: typical female body and reproductive organs

• Male omegas: typical male body but with female reproductive organs, somehow

• Female betas: typical female body and reproductive organs

• Male betas: typical male body and reproductive organs

-

Wait, but there’s also dominant and recessive, so...

• Alphas (male or female): can get any omega pregnant

• Omegas (male or female): can have an alpha's child

• Betas: beta females can have children with beta males, neither can have children with alphas or omegas

• Dominant alphas (male or female): rare type of alpha that are typically hyper-masculine and more assertive (probably also tall and come from a good family lol)

• Dominant omegas (male or female): rare type of omega that can completely control their pheromones outside of their heat period. They are gorgeous and typically more feminine.

-

To summarize:

• Female alphas and dominant alphas: breasts and typical male reproductive organs | can get omegas pregnant, little to no chance they themselves can get pregnant (especially slim chance because they’re typically not on the receiving end). I guess this is why they have breasts

• Male alphas and dominant alphas: typical male body and reproductive organs | can get omegas pregnant, cannot get pregnant themselves

• Female omegas and dominant omegas: typical female body and reproductive organs | get get pregnant by alphas

• Male omegas and dominant omegas: typical male body but with female reproductive organs | get get pregnant by alphas

• Female betas: typical female reproductive organs | get get pregnant by male betas

• Male betas: typical male body and reproductive organs | can get female betas pregnant

-

Seeing it like this makes a lot more sense. Weird that female alphas are the only ones with a mismatch in body parts, but it makes sense if there’s a tiny possibility they could get pregnant.

What doesn’t make sense is that male omegas don’t have breasts. Don’t they need them?

Anyway, maybe it’s because they don’t usually mention females in omegaverse BLs or just that I haven’t read them, but is this actually typical or unique to Love is an Illusion??

#I’m not even talking about gender yet this is all purely physical #omegaverse #love is an illusion #i love seeing a female alpha with a big d*ck
