#so that's where that thread comes from

[netripper]

finally listened to dummy by portishead and it's infesting my brain w thoughts of the johnny/vic 2013 fic i was gonna write

^ how i felt listening to this for the first time

#IF THE VIDEO DOESNT LOAD: it's roads by portishead #silverv #good lord. oh my god. jesus christ #this album is so good #perfect vibe #the idea for the fic was johnny and vic cross paths in a 2013 au #in which vic is trying to work against DDI (from the old tabletop books) and johnny is about to leave NC after alt's death #but they meet at Just the right time #vic's been screwed by her associates and blamed for a big hack and she runs into johnny while she's running from some corpo agents #johnny is johnny and he gets infatuated bc holy shit a pretty netrunner fucking up corps... echoes a lot of features of alt in her face too #he picks up smth she drops and tracks her down to help #in this story DDI is under fire for using their massive influence as the main way ppl connect with their faith to do some mass surveillance #thru their prayerware and other things - and vic doesn't like televangelism to BEGIN with #so that's where that thread comes from #and johnny's like ''eh fuck it. why not stick it to a corp one last time'' #i have the ideas down i just need to get to a point where i feel i can write it #vanta rambles #au: the hand of god (2013)

there is something where. hm. like yes, tim can be condescending towards steph, he was written by dixon, it's inevitable. but also since, for a very long time, he was the only one supporting steph's decision to be a vigilante & the only one giving her any sort of attempt at formal training, tim is also the one who tends to get held accountable for her by the adults in their lives when she does mess up, or acts reckless, or makes a mistake. because the fault is considered to lie with his failure to teach her properly, so even if it shouldn't be tim's fault, because it's the fault of all the adults who are refusing to take any sort of responsibility, her behavior does end up reflecting on tim.

so you end up with this thing where to steph: her and tim are equals in a relationship. they are similar aged vigilates & the disparity in their training and experience isn't that important. because she's trying and working really hard & her methods do end up getting the result she desires/end up working in some way, shape, or form, so she's doing good enough to be on equal footing with tim wrt this whole vigilante thing. after all, they're both kids! there's no real difference between them except tim gets a little more training than her. and she's not wrong in that if an adult were to actually officially sanction her & train her she would be on more equal footing with tim as far as they're just two kids who are choosing to be vigilantes.

where to tim he's operating with the knowledge that that their relationship is one thing, but their jobs as vigilantes is a completely separate thing. and them being equal vigilantes is really not considered the case to any other active gotham vigilante. experiencewise, before steph even showed up on the scene, tim had had at least his six months of dedicated training with batman & occasional training with nightwing. he had also had his weeks of dedicated daily training in paris with the rahul lama & then his speed training with lady shiva. he does have probably close to at least 8-9 months of training and experience and working as robin on steph at her first appearance. he's also at a point where he is considered by the adults around him to be trained & skilled enough to be able to train jean-paul valley at that point. this disparity only worsens during the time before they start dating where tim finishes his training in paris with the rahul lama along with getting even more ongoing specialized training from batman & nightwing and steph...continues to be self taught. so the adults around them have expectations for tim that they don't necessarily have for steph, and since tim is the one training her & the expectations for tim at this point are that he's an autonomous, skilled vigilante in his own right (and has been since he was left in charge of azbats), if steph does mess up & tim is the one choosing to sanction & train her, then her mistakes & recklessness becomes tim's fault for not training her properly. although in a perfect world, she wouldn't be his responsibility in this way, that's just how everyone (batman, nightwing, the birds of prey) views it. & like. as someone who takes students at her job. it's not entirely wrong that while a mistake made by a student is on the student & it's also very much considered ultimately the fault of the instructor for failing to recognize that the student wasn't ready or skilled enough for something that they made a mistake, because as the more experienced professional, it's on you to recognize the limitations of the student & supervise/guide them accordingly. which tim is in the position of everyone feeling that steph is his responsibility to manage, because he's often the only one who thinks she should be given a chance & is trying to give her a chance.

it's an inherent power imbalance, formed the the fact that tim is the only one willing to instruct her for a long time, sanctioned & reinforced by the adults around them.

#like yes tim is condescending at points #but also she does make mistakes and when she does #the adults tend to consider that tim is the one they feel is in charge of her #ergo it's on tim for failing to control her. which is a heavy expectation & not one you should be casting into a relationship #and there's another thread there where steph doesn't necessarily care as much about reputation or perceptions #whereas tim is a little more cautious regarding you can't just say you're sanctioned and then mess up #because that reflects poorly on the brand #and he's probably a little overcautious but you know i don't think he's entirely wrong #in that the people's ability to trust the symbol comes from competence & the assurance that they won't mess up so uh

Dear Gojo,

Despite it all, I think the kids are going to be okay. In time. After all, you made it so that they at least have each other.

Hopefully I won’t see you and the others anytime soon.

P.S. The cats you left behind, they’ve been a good distraction…though they cause quite a bit of trouble on campus. Seems familiar, no?

#im not gonna lie I’d be okay even if just the three of them make it #from a writers perspective Gojo dying and staying dead is more impactful than him coming back no longer the strongest #you could technically argue both but for what Gojo represents as wanting to be a protector of youth (despite questionable means) #him sacrificing himself for them to get stronger and continue having a somewhat cheerful youth together #he would do that #he did that in sacrificing himself so his students could have a chance at Sukuna #I genuinely don’t know of Gojo will come back or not but I’m at the point where I will be okay with either ways #so long as Gege doesn’t leave Gojo’s thread where he left it (at the airport) #I need more closure than just that #and for Geto’s body as well #anyway #anime #anime fanart #anime art #fanart #jjk #jjk fanart #jujutsu kaisen #jujutsu kaisen fanart #gojo satoru #anime illustration #itadori yuuji #megumi fushiguro #nobara kugisaki #itafushi #itafushikugi #goge #satosugu #gege akutami #my art

thinking about how the island where luffy was raised is called Dawn Island and how he embarks from it and 2 years later we’re at Wano where people have been waiting for the Dawn for a very long time and Luffy is here to bring it

#one piece #one piece spoilers #in the tags!!! >> 1044+ #also something something about luffy eating his sun related fruit on an island called dawn #anyway with this im expecting where ever blackbeard is from to be named something night related #or some kind of word play like mihawks little island #OH also there's ace and sabo who were raised on dawn and eat the flame fruit #which ace directly calls the sun with one of his attacks when battling blackbeard #so all three are connected through dawn island and the sun #frothing at the mouth with how many times the sun comes into play and i never noticed #the fishman tattoos in arlong park from the sun pirates #shandians worshiping the god of the sun #the giants doing the same but with the sun's cycle and rebirth(?) #enis lobby being an island that is always daylight and this is totally a theory but i think that's where that one lost island from 800 years #ago used to be #blasted apart by an ancient weapon or whatever the fuck imu has going on before slapping his own island down there in victory #but that island is ALWAYS DAYTIME #it's juicy #what else is there #god i need to rewatch one piece and pick everything apart and string cheese it until i have every thread of information #oh luffy clearing the skies after enel darkened them with his stormclouds #probably not REALLY related but considering the sun shines down on him soooo clearly and brilliantly that it shows his shadow down #to the blue sea? i'll take it #skypeia is totally the first nika hint anyway with the sun god being mentioned (in the past) and luffy's shadow during the campfire AND #the drums after enel is defeated #so yeah i'll fucking take it #GOD i love one piece im going to devour the entire series from the ground up

Visceral

A 3-sentence-fic collab with @bellecream for @zelinkcommunity Zelink Week 2023 day 5: by a thread.

----

The massive wolf growled at Zelda—a languid oscillation shivering its charcoal hackles, wrinkling the white muzzle stained with vitriol from the moblin splayed dead at the clearing’s edge; a paw stepped, soft, creeping toward Zelda, the unprecedented silence in this hollow of the woods amplifying her uneven breath, her shirt’s rustle declaring her hand's shift toward her weapon.

The music returned as skin met hilt, yet unlike the haunting melody which had drawn her here, the upstart song recalled the dawn twittering of birds, the joy of two spiraling in celebration of life to come—the wolf’s eyes widened, their clear blue now visible, its angered rumble dissolving in a high whine, its pinned ears and bent back such unmistakable submission they stayed Zelda’s hand; she didn’t dare glance at the strange, boy-shaped sapling with the flute in its hands, didn’t dare question whether the new song would repeat as the wolf slunk to her feet.

It lifted Zelda’s wrist with a flick of its nose and closed its jaw around it, tugging with a low plea—it evoked a a Hylian voice (a man’s voice), more so as her face neared its, far closer than any wild animal would have allowed, their eyes locked, a visceral impression driving a gasp to her lungs and a fumbling hand to her belt pouch; it emerged with the Moon Pearl held in her palm, pressed swift to the creature's body, and as the soft fur twined through her fingers began to recede, its pace barely perceptible by touch and not at all by sight, all doubt vanished: the wolf was Link clinging to his true self by a thread.

#zelink week 2023 #day 5 #by a thread #3 sentence fic #alttp au #technically #i know you think wolf link twilight princess right? #well granted that is where wolf originally came from #but come on #pink bunny? #no way #not doing that #not in a not-crack fic #dark world link be wolf in serious fic #and I will die on that hill #yeah so ayway #ZeldaGoesToo!AU #though you can probably read it as tp #and still have it work out

#oh wow... #i just had an oh shit fuck moment #wow #i usually complain about the one therapist i had in my entire life and how she wouldn't just listen to what i was saying #if it didn't fit her textbook definition of whatever she was thinking at the time #and how i talked to her about my anxiety and how that made me feel and she would only focus on how i acted #so the example i gave her was the one time i went into a shop to buy something by myself #because my mom didn't want to go in for me and arguing with my mom in front of the shop in public and then inevitably have to #go in myself either way was way worse to me #because of the embarrassement of arguing in public. the fact that my mom was gonna spend the entire walk home telling me how i have to #''just suck it up and learn and just overcome my anxiety because i don't have a problem'' or whatever #and then having to go into the shop where the lady had been watching me from inside the entire time how i clearly didn't want to go in #and possibly be even more awkward with teary eyes because of the anxiety and awkwardness i already bring to the table any day... #all of those things that were going inside my head were trumped by the fact that i did go in and did buy what i needed #although my heart was coming out of my chest the entire time... all that didn't matter to my therapist because in her words: #''if you had anxiety. you simply wouldn't have gone in'' #which is ridiculous #but anyways... i just had an epiphany... that was masking wasn't it? #forcing myself to do something that brings me major discomfort to make my mother and the shop lady not judge me? #pretend i'm a normal human being just doing normal things instead of someone who's about to have a heart attack buying embroidery thread? #panicking the entire time because i wasn't prepeared and hadn't scripted the entire transaction in my head? #yet still going in and putting on my ''normal person'' mask to try to seem like i wasn't just dying seconds ago (and still was)? #isn't that literally what masking is?! #and the ''autism specialist'' ass therapist was like ''if you did it then you don't have a problem'' #when i'm literally telling her how much of a problem it actually WAS?! #you know what's the best part about all this #that when i told my mom after i left that therapist that she didn't listen to me because [insert everything above] #my mom's response was ''well sometimes therapist will say things that you don't want to hear but you have to accept them''.... #same woman who's always saying how much she hates therapists because they ''will say whatever and pretend they know shit'' #ok so it's only The Truth when I tell you it isn't...

antigone. jean anouilh.

quotations from antigone: a tragedy by jean anouilh. translated by lewis galantière.

comic panels in order are from: battle for the cowl 3 (x3), batman annual 25, batman and robin 5, batman and robin 6, battle for the cowl 3, batman 416, battle for the cowl 3, battle for the cowl 2, batman annual 25, batman and robin 6, under the red hood, battle for the cowl 3 (x2), batman 427, lost days 5.

#jason todd #anyway mmmm still turning it over in my mind BUT #antigone + her sense of principle such that she's willing to take her confrontation with creon to its logical extreme #she knows he'll kill her & it's not that she welcomes it but there's that sense of fatality: she's more tied to the dead than the living #she's basically daring creon to have her excuted in the same way that jason is challenging bruce #jason demanding the mourning for his own corpse. antigone buries her brother but jason is the avenging unburied ghost #come to DEMAND burial. and yet he's also alive so he's also antigone who has a choice - or does he??? #and then dick's got his own antigone side re:principle but in this fight he's sister ismene #ismene determined to stop antigone from getting herself killed but also angry with her #and feeling like if she would just LISTEN then she'd see that ismene is right and sensible and has all order on her side #to her everything that antigone wants sounds like chaos and the breakdown of order #and that mmm i feel like there's this consistent thread where we kinda dance around the question of well. /is/ jason suicidal #he puts a gun to his head. he lets go of the train. and yet back then as a kid he wanted to live so badly! #again like antigone who seems to be hurtling herself toward death and yet it's not really what she wants and yet and yet #anyway many thoughts still much confused but. we'll see. #my comic art but we are using the term ''art'' loosely #since it's literally just copy-pasted comic panels with. like. bad highlighting occasionally sfdsfds #dick grayson

I fully get the anxiety of feeling like you don’t deserve to go to a show. It comes with the whole competetive fandom stuff.

Honestly, as someone who has performed on a lot of stages with varying kinds of crowds, the most important thing isn’t if you’re the biggest fan or if you know the lyrics or some choreography or bring gifts. The thing that is the most valuable is that you go to the show to have a good time. That’s all the artists are generally looking for. That people enjoy their music, enjoy the show, are excited to be there.

Some people may be disappointed that they don’t get a ticket, sure. But it’s not you taking that ticket away from them. Not everyone can have everything. Sometime people don’t get concert tickets. That is not your fault for buying. It is a thing that happens when everyone has the right to buy concert tickets instead of them being raffeled off or gifted. If the show was just for the biggest fans, tickets would be give out as competition prices, not to the person who buys them.

And there is no right way to enjoy the show. Some superfans never learn lyrics because they don’t particularly care. Some people buy tickets to go see random artists just for the experience. Some people just love to give gifts and find that to be the best way of interacting. Your way of doing it is just as valid as all that. You don’t have to earn any right to be there, that is what the tickets are for.

And honestly, you’d be surprised by the number of people who have never even heard of an artist or band who just show up for the show because they had a day off and it could be fun. It’s not about deserving to be there. It’s about wanting to go and getting the chance to actually do that.

I don’t know if this little pep talk eases your mind at all, but I hope it does. Learning to let go of the competetive mindset and attitude when it comes to regular life stuff is a chore and a half. I just want you to know that I would love for you to go to the show.

Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate it ❤

#ik it's mostly in my head #I've always felt like I'm never good enough since early childhood #I think band fandoms have partly always been like this #about going to every show and learning all the lyrics and 'you are wearing their merch so name all the albums' or you are a poser #ig and twitter and maybe tiktok as well have just made it worse because now I can see it all the time #like there were people queuing for Tavastia at 6 am today already #and there are people who travel across the continent for the shows #and I do not have those kinds of possibilities because I can't afford it and I have a day job #which makes be both feel like a bad person because I can't sacrifice everything to be a fan #but also makes me reconsider if I'm too old to be a fan and I'm just embarassing myself by going to any shows at all ever #because clearly band fandoms are only meant for teens and people in their early twenties who can skip school and camp outside the venue #also i made the mistake of going to twitter and saw a thread about 'so what gifts have you guys made for the boys this time?' #and I was so shook because I had no idea that you're supposed to make gifts to give for the artists at EVERY show #and I can't make anything #I have no skills or money #I can't paint or sew or make crafts #so is it like I'm a lesser person because I only paid for the ticket #you see where I'm coming from? #asks

@dragvnsovl continued from here

"Yeah?" His head tilts and at that, Lambda slowly drags his hand down just to tease the other. At least, before resuming the pace he'd been keeping before. His other hand rests on the soft bedding blankets below, Broly's tail curled around his arm. A smile tugs at the corners of his mouth. Watching him unravel like this and so quickly at that? It was kind of cute!

The next time he brings his hand up, he runs a thumb around the head. Just to tease him some more. He kind of can't resist, not when he's pulling out such nice noises from him. "Even when I do this?"

#//i've got replies to the other two threads drafted rn in the mean time #//slaps this response down #//i swear every time i write him with your guy i get so flabbergasted bc where did this confidence come from? hello???? #//must be because he's around a big guy who's so sweet? who knows? #dragvnsovl

I feel like Talia might approve of YRZ. Like at least her darling didn't shack up with a *shudder* Pacifist.

Oh man I didn’t think about this but yeah, she probably does approve.

Like she was offended that Bruce would take up with Obviously Normal Man Yrz, and naturally tried to take him out (I think she’s pregnant with Damian at this point so she doesn’t do it herself)— only for her Assassins to just. Not come back?

Turns out Yrz, having studied magic, fed them to his wards around Wayne Manor! Like, waste not want not right? So Talia goes and speaks to Yrz in person and it only takes one conversation to know: oh, this person is very much Not Normal. Talia senses the bone deep crazy that Yrz radiates.

I see, Talia thinks. Her Beloved has always chosen his companions well. Yes, this man will do nicely.

#Yrz genre of magic: fuck around and find out #aka it’s neutral until ya poke it and the You Find Out #Yrz has no idea who Talia is or where the ninjas are coming from btw #comics are a mess of canonical threads so he has no idea where he is in them lol #you've got questions we've got answers #bfiasc aus #batdad au

[scintillyyy]

can you really talk about tim's tendency to idolize and place dick on a pedestal and his semi-entitlement to understanding dick without also talking about dick's tendency to project his own feelings and insecurities onto tim and also his semi-entitlement to his right to try and micromanage how tim should feel and react about things. i, personally, cannot.

#dick and tim #anyways trust me when i say that none of this is meant in a negative way because this is what i Like about them lmao #forever thinking of the M/F fight where dick expects that tim will go alone with his line of thinking just because he says so #and is shocked when tim doesn't and instead has his own thoughts and feelings abt the matter #and babs has to tell him that tim isn't him & had a fundamentally different experience to him #it's like hmmm very realistic to me #the way they do this to each other in a way that almost is depersonalizing but like isn't actually #it's more just that they understand each other so well most of the time that it's easy to forget that they're their own person #with their own thoughts and feelings #like hm. there is something very realistically siblings about it in that #older siblings do tend to try and dominate the relationship with their thoughts and feelings because #their first memories are of being expected to lead their sibling and the sibling usually comes at a time when the older sib is v possessive #so the older sibling conceives the younger sibling as belonging to them and being kind of a hm extension of them vs their own person #meanwhile the younger sibling has no knowledge of a life where the older sibling doesn't exist #and the younger sibling's experience is that of observation of the older sibling from basically the very first day of life #so the younger sibling will often see and perceive the older sibling in very interesting ways #they're always learning something with thay observation good or bad #and thus probably develop more instrinsic understanding than even the parents do #and conflict comes because each is their own person but it's hard to see them that way sometimes #anyways there's also another thread where for dick it's hard to conceptualize tim's family of origin as real compared to them #but that's like mainly headcanon just know i'm right and it's interesting

remember when i said over a year ago that vegapunk's arc would start revealing even more of sanji's power and potential and how hard that was worrying me? yeah

#i'm clearly talking to myself here since this blog is basically a corner of my brain #but last chapter having sanji deflect a light beam and both kizaru and franky reacting the way they did #and zoro commenting in wano you cannot possibly block a laser... lmao....lmao! #ooooh man i just. feel oda is cooking something for sanji. and since there was a parallel with the wings of the pirate king #in recent chapters (where oda typically shows both sanji and zoro fighting and not just one of them) #just... man. man! man. lol #i know i can't let myself go and talk about all things going through my mind anymore because of. lol guilt and fear of being annoying #but god. that moment stirred something in me. like you're resurrecting a fucking corpse #so i am both scared and excited about next chapters and what this means for sanji #i was saying from DAY ONE of this arc being centered about vegapunk that it would eventually #touch on sanji and this is it. this is happening #if this for some reason isn't it. and oda will for some reason just let this slide or die in the shadows? i won't understand it #because of JUDGE and VEGAPUNK and QUEEN being partners and being linked to vegapunk! like come on. the connection is there #and this laser deflecting thing seems to finally touch on this red thread i've been holding with both my fingers like an insane person #so yeah. lol. listening to a video right now about it and finally. FINALLY i see SOMEONE ELSE point out that #not mentioning judge still is giga weird. so here's hoping. here's hoping #also lol it was very fun to be on reddit and look at so many people being MAD that sanji managed to do that. and that we got a little bit o #mr prince vibes. LMAO STAY MAD. my boy is being treated good right now and i can't wait for oda to destroy me #(again) lol #GG rambles

Lantern Rite leaks (I know these are just things so far, etc. usual):

Listen, listen, listen, I've been so highly anticipating Lantern Rite 2024 since it ended this year (it was my first one, it was amazing; one of the reasons why Liyue will always rate so very highly for me) and I'll be thrilled with whatever it is that we get, but!!! Light negative nancy incoming (understandably so, I think), forgive me, stop reading if you'd prefer: no Ningguang, no Beidou, No Madame Ping?? NO YELAN at all??! (Me: listen, I'll be happy to just see her, doesn't even need to speak, I will never expect more, it's perfectly IC)

Edit: Ok ok, we're better. I got so frustrated at the '19' that I missed the 66. But also, IS THIS STILL LANTERN RITE OR IS THIS CHENYU VALE?

#[ i had to add the zhongli thing so badly-- we wait for lantern rite for the day. /the day where we learn more/. ] #[ liyue is so shrouded and hidden in its events and so if this isn't about liyue and instead-- listen i like furina. ] #[ but if this revolves around furina (listen i just saw the event has her sq as a prerequisite so i'm lightly joking). ] #[ instead of liyue history and zhongli and whatnot. i will chuck inflatable legos!! ] #[ IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE HE'S SPOKEN AND SAID ANYTHING; GUYS. ] #[ as a liyue fanatic this makes me desperate. just. please. hoyo. 🙏🙏🙏 ] #[ but also don't get me wrong. i LOVE fonaine. i love the fontaine cast. i do. i'd be happy to see them. ] #[ i'd actually love to see the lanterns and their traditions to a degree (the wishes carved into the ore that floats the lanterns)... ] #[ be explained by someone from liyue to fontainians. and whatnot. i've proposed it as thread ideas. i'd also like-- ] #[ to see them visit liyue. i hope the harbor/qiaoying will come out during lantern rite for this. ] #[ but also. i want my liyue crew as well; you know? more of them. i miss them. 2023 lantern rite was amazing. but i miss them still. ] #[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

WE WERE ROBBED!!! It's not perfect, and it still has some "limited range of color values" issues, but with a couple more revisions I think the one on the bottom right really could've turned into something special

#honkai impact #honkai hare #I'm noticing a trend with honkai that idk how to describe other than “elysiaction” #Where they take they take what was appealing about Elysia in ER and apply it to characters but remove the nuance #Like they take her energic charm and charismatic mask and then they forget that there actually needs to be something behind the mask #Idk if that makes sense #Bottom right Hare looks like she would've been a much more stoic character and I think that would've been a nice change of pace #I think the reason I'm so annoyed with Hare's current direction in both writing and design is because I think she had such strong potential #There's so many character interactions they could've made and didn't #You could've explored Seigfried and Theresa's reactions to seeing their lost loved one coming back from the dead and not knowing them #Or Durandal and Hare bonding over knowing who they used to be while knowing they can't really be the same person anymore #Or if you really want to keep the back story with Bronya's mom #Hare could've just switched sides because Project Stigma threaded the life of her loved one's child #They also could've used Hare as a demonstration of what Project Stigma actually does #But nah- they decided to take the most interesting parts of Senti and Elysia and mash them together without the context and intrigue #Making her boring
