Can we just mention Archie for a moment? Archie who was so steeped in violence and death that she thought there was no such thing as hope, and then she heard Jim telling Pinocchio to Fang and fell in love? Archie who took exactly 1.5 seconds of badassery to jump right into Stede's crew and be embraced by them? Archie who never stopped laughing and smiling once she was on board the Revenge? Archie who fell right into her polycule with Jim and Olu and is gonna be fucking thrilled to have Zheng there too? Archie who is definitely the chaos child and adopted Stede as her dad within a few days?

I just...I really like Archie.

#ofmd #ofmd season 2 #archie ofmd #gif #our flag means death #madeleine sami #i really liked that we got more different female characters this season #and none of them are interchangeable #they're as immediately and clearly developed as the male characters #also as a fairly tattooed queer woman #i particularly enjoy seeing her onscreen

I am feeling a way about Aelwyn continually inviting Adane to hang out at her apartment even though it's a disaster area with her ten ornery cats and scattered microwave dinner trays. I know a part of that is Brennan just wanting a reason to show the audience the very funny contrast from, "I came here to fuck!" to "Nooo Hector :(" But there's also something to her being like, "I want you here with me even though it will entirely ruin any possible remaining mystique around my cool girl persona"--something she absolutely still cares about in a general sense as she tells Adaine not to tell Fabian anyone else about what her apartment is like. It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be vulnerable, especially when you've been raised in such a way that every weakness was used as a future attack--so much so that her entire brand of magic is protecting herself and not being vulnerable.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #adaine abernant #aelwyn abernant #d20 #spoilers #not gonna apologize for all the abernant posting #bc I've been waiting for this for YEARS #this is my oscars #anyway I love it when a bit is anchored in like character development #fy aelwyn would have NEVER let adaine see her being this uncool #now she's like pleassssse visit me I miss you

so the queen gets to step back because of her mental breakdown thus putting more pressure on Wille when Wille wasn’t even allowed to properly mourn the loss of his brother and adjust to his new royal title… sounds about right

#i know she lost her son.. her firstborn and in a tragic accident #no parent should ever go through that #i sympathised with her in s1-2 #but they pushed wille away and isolated him #the one good thing was wille going to therapy #too bad that a lot of his character development seems to have stayed in season 2 #young royals #young royals season 3 #yr s3 spoilers #young royals sooilers #young royals s3 #yr season 3

realising what I actually need from Suzanne Collins is just a multi-volume panem history book

#which INCLUDES pre-dark days/origins of panem #because i know she has it written somewhere #i want to know everything about panem #and how it came to be #lotr appendices/silmarillion but make it panem #the hunger games #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #that and a character study of haymitch #because whilst katniss's major character development happended during her games #i think haymitch's happened afterwards with what happened to his family/girlfriend and mentoring

nah cause the fact that jane austen wrote a character like emma woodhouse is still insane to me. she threw all the standards out the window and was like hey, here’s this incredibly complex and nuanced character, she’s selfish, privileged, manipulative and arrogant, but she’s also really fucking kind, she would do anything for those she loves (including sacrificing a lot of her liberties), she is able to admit that she’s made a mistake and grow from it, because those things are not mutually exclusive. and i think the reason why everyone is trying to girlbossify their heroines to make them like lizzie bennet (which is an insult to her character but that’s another story) is because they’re scared to write characters like emma. which is understandable, because she’s unlikeable-ish, and they don’t want to take that risk.

honestly the way jane wrote emma is IMPECCABLE and not everyone can pull it off, but i wish female characters with actual flaws were more popular.

#jane austen #emma #emma woodhouse #i’ll defend her to death #lizzie is actually really flawed too but people just write her off as a “badass sassy female character” which kinda erases her development

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan xichen #jin guangyao #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #qin su #EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts. #Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation. #qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her. #Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared. #I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly. #MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot. #That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory! #To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible. #Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot #and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD). #MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white #JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character. #What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image) #and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard. #but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug. #There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

“I can fix him” Are you Nina Zenik? And is he Matthias Helvar? No? Then you can’t fix him, sorry girl

#Matthias’ character development was insane though #like Nina didn’t even fix him she had him fix himself for her #six of crows #nina zenik #matthias helvar #helnik

fond of marcille (id in alt)

#dungeon meshi #marcille donato #i love her so much… FRANKLY i knew i would like her but i didn’t think she’d be my favorite and Yet… #she has thoroughly enraptured me with how much she fails and yet continues to try and try again #her character also surprised me sooo much while i was reading dunmeshi… there’s a natural feel to how characters both develop and can #regress in dunmeshi - that push and pull made every chapter feel unexpected and enjoyable to experience… esp true with marcie’s chara imo #ruporas art

i need to talk about how much i love the pjo show's way of introducing annabeth's character's backstory, specifically through her getting used to percy's chronic loyalty

the way she attacks him with a hug both times she thought he might've been gone forever??? (the arch and after he returns to chb) this girl who doesn't hold her breath over people staying around for her, who is so so relieved everytime percy comes back to her

the way she is absolutely appalled by percy's insisent reassurance. his "i'm perfectly comfortable with that, people make mistakes" his "people who love you shouldn't treat you like that" his "you are better at this than me, you just are" this is just percy being percy, always seeing the best in people, and never once treating her like she has to prove anything to him to be treated with care

and she's so caught off guard every time!! she tells grover to tell percy to pull himself together. she tells him "i guess so" when he asks if he has to earn it with her too. she is IMMEDIATELY at a loss for words when percy tells her that she's the one meant for the quest. that she's better at this. that he's not trying to sacrifice himself for his own glory, it has nothing to do with him, he's only thinking of her

and that's so new to annabeth!! someone who isn't trying to make her prove anything! someone who from the beginning saw her worth! not someone like her mother, who would see her die because she felt embarassed by her. not someone like her father, who loved her at first and because of someone else, began to not(or at least she thought so). not like Thalia, who made her prove herself, who for all valiance, still died, still left her. not like Luke, who promised family, and then betrayed her.

she's not used to someone who stays just for her

or in her own words,

"He's not like that, he's better than that"

i love annabeth chase

#this was gonna be a short post lol #i got a little ahead of myself #the rambles #i think i made the same point like three times #for NO reason #anyways i love annabeth chase #how rick riordan(a white man)wrote such a developed and layered female character is beyond me #like who TOLD him #annabeth chase #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percabeth #percy series #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo #original post #larn’s things #got distracted and didn't even take more time to gush over the show #i just think they did so great with her #it was all super subtle and yet SO obvious #i loved it #larn's things

There’s something really sweet and satisfying in the fact that Zheng is a part of Stede and Ed’s reunion on the beach. She’s been mocking Stede off and on for Blackbeard leaving him, but she’s also empathized with him over it. And she sees firsthand how important these two men are to each other. She sees probably the greatest, toughest pirate in the world (other than herself) shout across a battlefield for the man he loves—a man that she knows is ridiculous and soft and also commands such loyalty from his crew—then run across a beach and embrace him. She sees Blackbeard touch Stede Bonnet’s face and call him “babe” and tell him he did great in the fight. And she sees them choose each other over piracy and revenge.

It’s so lovely and it does, in part, help her to understand even more that softness isn’t weakness.

They compliment you feat. mk1 bi-han, kitana, kung lao

author note: felt like I was going to explode if I didn't post them today, I hope it's not complete trash LOL.

Bi-Han: -It was a quiet morning, for once you were the first to wake up, so you started cooking for the both of you. -Then you felt the arms of your lover wrapping around your waist, always so chilly against your body. -You feel his right cheekbone brush against yours, like a kitty searching for affection, then his chin rests on your shoulder, you can feel his black eyes on you. "Dawn creates light and shades on your face, making your feature stand out even more, I didn't think it was possible to make you look even more beautiful." -You choke on your own spit, stunned by the honeyed words dripping from your partner lips. -What was happening? Did Bi-Han hit his head during sparring? In any case, there's no way you'll stop him. -Kettle whistle, but you don't move, still looking at Bi-Han with wide eyes. -He sighs, kisses your cheek, and takes the kettle, pouring the boiling water into his cup, where you previously put the tea bag. -"Moron, if this is your reaction, I'll have to filter my thoughts again." -You shook your head, hell, you don't think you'll ever be able to go back now, his sweet words a drug that got you immediately addicted. Sadly, you aren't used to compliments anymore; you can just stutter out a no, while you feel heath on your cheeks. -Bi-Han smirks at you, a playful gesture you rarely see (and you are still thanking the gods that blessed you this morning) his right hand reaching for the apple of your cheek, pulling it in between his index and middle fingers before snapping it back in place. -"Sit down, I'll make you coffee maybe it will wake you up." -You aren't sure if you want to wake up.

Kitana: -You are waiting for her to return from work, your stomach churning always worried something bad may have happened. -You are reading a novel when you feel the door of the living room opening. You lift your head up, eager to see your lover come in. -And she does, a ray of sunshine deep into the night. -Kitana walks to you, a tired smile on her face, 'till she reaches you behind the armchair you are sitting on. -"Good night beautiful, first time here?" You say, chuckling at your own silliness. -Kitana chuckles along, the kind that shows the wonderful smile that always makes you understand how lucky you are. -"Since you leave me breathless every time I look at you-" Her face lean closer to yours "maybe it is" her plush lips kiss your forehead before she leaves to change in more comfortable clothing. -You curl on yourself, face hidden inside your book, and you are pretty sure your head is fuming for how fast the gears in your brain are working. -"Don't curl up, dear! You know it's bad for your back" Kitana shouts from your shared bedroom "I don't want my princess to get back pain" she whispers the last part. -Maybe one day she will get bold enough to freely speak her mind, for now you'll have to cheerish this rare moment of softness.

Kung Lao: -You tried a new recipe today, made with the fresh vegetables Kung Lao and Raiden picked up at dawn. -Saying you were nervous is a euphemism. You didn't want to fail, but even more to thrash the food your friend and boyfriend grew and picked up after so much effort. -You put the food on the table, useless to say to start the meal, Kung Lao cheeks were already full, and Raiden followed soon. -The judgment arrived soon, the burp coming from your partner mouth a telltale sign and a bad habit you still weren't able to correct. -"My love, the food was amazing, delicious!" Kung Lao stands up, arms open ready to embrace your body "Not that I have any doubts, your cooking skill just another plus of my wonderful-" He kisses your nose "amazing-" his lips touch your left cheek "beautiful dove" his lips finally rest on yours. -You reciprocate the kiss, but your mind is elsewhere, so used to Kung Lao singing his own praises without sparing a nice word to anybody else, you didn't expect so many compliments. -You break the kiss when you hear Raiden coughing in the background, heath flooding your face while your boyfriend was totally unaffected, still looking at you with that softness he always reserves for you. -Kung Lao soon returns at the table to finish the meal together with Raiden, and then they both go back to train. -But not before smooching your cheek, lips staining your skin with, what you guessed was the juice of the peach Kung Lao eat before going back to work. -You clean yourself with the back of your hand before going back to work, the comoliments of your boyfriend still reverberating into your brain, a nice intrusive thought that won't leave you for the rest of the day.

#mk1 x reader #mk1 x you #mk1 imagine #kitana x reader #bi han x reader #sub zero x reader #kung lao x reader #bi-han x you #kung lao x you #i choose characters that I don't think give out compliment easily #not to be not safe for work but probably bi-han is like that only when his balls are empty LMAO #Kitana just needs to develop how to express her feelings without thinking she is weak #Kung Lao just needs to stop thinking about himself all day (hard I know) #mortal kombat x reader #mortal kombat x you #mortal kombat headcanons #mk1 headcanons
