Genuinely believe Gortash saw Karlach as his protege.

The amount of respect he would’ve had for her as a poor kid who literally brawled her way out of poverty is unreal.

And the admiration he had for her is mentioned multiple times, even from other characters who knew them both.

But what would trouble him is her indomitable goodness. He would see it as her weakness, believing her to be delusional to protect herself from the realities of the world.

So he slowly starts to expose her to the more heinous sides of his business. And every time, Karlach still goes right back to her sickeningly bright spirit no matter what.

So he sells her to Zariel. Why not? As much as he despises the devil, Raphael made him who he is. Perhaps a devil is what Karlach needs.

And then Karlach comes back an even better person in the ultimate show of how she was never like him. She was better (and though he’d never admit it, a part of him knew that.)

#what’s something that could shatter a person who was hardened by their experiences? #someone who went through the same thing and retained their hope #Gortash: *deeply cares for and admires someone* #also Gortash: *sells them into slavery* #sounds unhinged but makes total sense for him #enver gortash #bg3 #karlach #karlach cliffgate

I really hope the 2D cutscenes aren't taken out of Rebrushed or at the very least I hope they aren't redone in 3D because there's a certain level of expressiveness the 2D cutscenes gave Mickey that was never really replicated in any of the 3D ones

#i saw that a supposed developer leaked some details about the game in a discord some time ago but i think that guy was just lying #but if one thing he said was true i hope it was the bit about the cutscenes being retained

Attended another whiteboard hosted by @pillowspace and did some Celestial Sundown AU doodles and a lil Halloween-dressed sea slug! (I wonder if Sunna would wear a scarf if Meno made one as a gift.)

So about that Meno time loop AU idea-

#aquadoodles #whiteboard doodles #fnaf #fnaf au #celestial sundown au #fnaf sea slug au #I have no idea if Sunna or Meno would take on little hobbies like knitting or the sort like Moon does #I had to draw the sketchy Sunna after sketching out that first one #so what if Meno retains the rings from the first loop #I'm sure they're fine maybe #(hope it's ok I doodled something up for this little au idea Pillow)

Wei Wuxian: My bones are almost clean

Wei Wuxian: Wait… (looking perplexed)

Wei Wuxian: Did I not tell you about the bones…?

Jiang Cheng: WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN???!

a “fun” parallel I’ve noticed between Thatcher and Adam is that they’ve both survived so much but don’t want to anymore.

Thatcher has survived so many alternate encounters that he has had to watch and entire county die while he, through what sounds like a blessing, but to him is a curse, has survived.

And it’s very similar with Adam except for a while, he was able to embrace this inability to be killed off by using it to investigate alternates, but now he knows too much and wants to be free of the pain that derives from knowledge of the truth.

Not to mention, both have lost their best friend for opposite reasons, Ruth because Thatcher abandoned her, and Jonah because he abandoned Adam

Both of them have gone through things that so many others have gone through, yet they survived out of everyone, they’ve made it for so long but neither want to carry the burden of living anymore.

#mandela catalogue #tmc #aughshdjdfhja thinking about these 2 makes me so insane #I really hope we get to see them interact and realize how similar yet different they are #maybe that can be a way Adam retains some of the little humanity he has left #by relating to a human and his experiences #it makes Adam feel more grounded in humanity than he thought #even if it isn’t much #the mandela catalogue #adam murray #thatcher davis

"When I was a student, there's an Indonesian action movie titled "The Raid" (released 2011) that was popular around me, and I learned about a Southeast Asian martial art called "Silat" from that movie. […] Yuuji vs Choso battle from the Shibuya Incident was drawn inspired by this. That battle has the feel of "The Raid Gokudou" (released 2014)" - Akutami Gege commentary in Jujutsu Kaisen Fanbook * Translated by shiro (@/kaikaikitan) on Twitter

#the raid 2 berandal #the raid #jujutsu kaisen #jjkedit #choso #yuuji itadori #myedit #mygif #when i said id milk the shit out of this i meant it #it still retains the anime dramatic effect but #indeed the vibe is similar #even downright to the minute details #like throwing random stuff and stomping and near eyestab #thank you MAPPA i hope the staff can get enough rest

Thinking of post AGIT Dan being all moody and emo and giving Vlad a Villain Monologue™️ à la “I’m inevitable” blah blah blah and Vlad just being like-

“…that’s great son :) here’s your dino nuggets.”

#mott txt #what an absolutely bat shit dynamic they would have in so ready to read more #danny phantom #vlad masters #vlad plasmius #Dan phantom #also I hope Dan has a teenage human body but retains his normal ghost form #let my boy remain an Eldridge horror #it would also make his dynamic with Vlad even funnier #vlad trying to ‘dad’ him and Dan just transforming and being like. ‘I am a full grown man’ #n e ways idk where these tags have went . #I’ve just been thinking abt them #like how unhinged that vlad is essentially ‘raising’ Dan now ??? it’s SO FUNNY #I love it

do y’all think Wild has a rlly pretentious accent because the first people he spoke with once out of the bathtub were both royals

#also maybe just subconsciously he’d retain it from pre-bathtub #he was zelda’s guard no doubt he’d be accustomed to that posh british accent #even if he didn’t speak often he’d still be around it #king rhoam hearing wild speak loudly for the first time ever: 😀 #the champions hear him and visibly cringe #mipha: you did Not sound like that a century ago #link: yeah got a software update #i’m. rambling no alr bye bye hope this is coherent #linked universe #jojo’s linked universe #lu #linkeduniverse #lu wild #wild lu #linked universe wild #wild linked universe

thinking about the ‘his task has been successful.’ from the plane crash notebook . who is His . it could be anyone . and i have no basis for this other than vibes and thoughts of ‘oh that’d be a fucken sick lore development’ but what if one of the francophone was a spy/double agent of some sort . i’d eat that shit up for real

#then comes the question of whether he’d retain his memories of being tasked to do spy shit #or if he forgot à la fit when he joined the other islanders #hmmmmmm #tbh it may as well just be the cabin attendant that died during treatement L #maybe it was His task . WHO KNOWS #i hope we find out #lmao this is how kameto returns to the lore turns out he was a fed spy all along #jay rambles #qsmp
