#the battle is the point

[blackgirlsuperherorants]

I kinda agree with the takes about Wakanda not being the victim. Not to say the Talocans are the victims or blameless. I think it's not good vs bad or Black vs white, it's grey vs grey. Namor was being peaceful until his friends were killed. Threatening but peaceful. Wakandans would have reacted the same way if it had been the other way around and one of their own had been killed.

But see how your take is reasonable and based on the actual plot of the movie? lol. I don't think anyone was a victim, exactly, in this movie. I mean, it's WAKANDA and the MCU version of ATLANTIS (Talokan). They are the two most powerful nations and peoples on the face of the MCU Earth. (And America stands no chance against either of them, tbh.)

I still maintain that holding a princess for ransom is an act of war. If I was writing a similar plot line in my worldbuilding, that would be enough for the other kingdom to strike. It's enough in most stories. Even Mario is about Mario going to fight King Koopa to rescue Princess Peach (Not exactly war because it's a children's video game, but you know what I mean.)

But that doesn't mean Wakanda is a victim. It means that they were not the aggressor. Namor was NOT afraid of Wakanda and had no reason to believe he wouldn't win should they go to war. Especially with Wakanda having no Black Panther at that point. He knew what he was doing. He was not playing nice. My boy doesn't play nice lol, let's not pretend he thought he was playing nice. He knew what he was doing.

#this is just me defending wakanda from the inevitable antiblack bs #like we're not going to pretend wakanda is some stand in for the US ew #it's a movie about two powerful kingdoms #the battle is the point #and seriously namor is my mannnnn #like i was rooting for him #but not because wakanda was ... being imperialist??? #but because i love him #but i knew he was on his usual bullshit because again he's just Like That #he gonna fuck shit up when he wants to #but every little thing wakanda does that isn't perfect angel behavior #i always see takes like this as if they're the woooorst #they aren't even the worst in the MCU #honestly even in the MCU the United States is the worst #have we forgotten they destroyed Sokovia completely? #even before the city dropped they funded the assault on sokovia #wakanda just minds its business #so does talokan actually until now

HEARTBREAKING: character actually mildly interesting to think about but I Dont like their fans

#solis.txt #this may or may not be about a certain battle facility head. Two of them even. perhaps theyre twins #most of their fans dont even talk about the parts I find interesting anyway so whats the point

[circuscountdowns]

many centuries down the line they can manage to have a civil enough family game night.

#cult of the lamb #narilamb #Leshy carved losers corner above lambs bed many games ago and they think it’s too funny to fix #Anyway lamb does eventually marry narinder but after a good while of tormenting him on who to choose for marriage #I think at one point narinder starts dragging suitors into the battle pit #And says only someone who can beat him is good enough for lamb yayyy #This comic came out pretty clumsy but I’m just glad it’s done #cotl art

[zosanbrainrot]

this is how I see them

#sanji turned out so good and was just a quick thing so I had to add zoro #but for some reason he was super hard to draw for me this time #anyway this is how I see them #post battle staying up late on the deck drinking themselves silly to the point they forget to pretend to hate each other and just talk #maybe eating some snacks sanji had made #'we really almost died again didnt we' #looking at each other a couple of seconds too long before averting eyes #letting the mind wonder #zosan #zoro #sanji #one piece #my art #roronoa zoro #vinsmoke sanji #ETERNAL PINING HELL #im drawing these while on google meet at work

in light of the coming sans vs cecil finale, i have to say that there is no bad outcome to this now. you did it. you mad sons of bitches, you did it. we could vote this like a true sexyman showdown or we could vote this for a gag, it doesn't matter anymore. but most importantly, the question that this poll raises is...

WHERE is the undertale/wtnv crossover episode where cecil announces monsterkind's return to the surface right outside of town. because "thousands of weird creatures came out of the nearby people-eating mountain after millennia of imprisonment and are currently settling into town via wacky hijinks" is a VERY night vale thing to happen

(UPDATE: you should check the full post cause i swear to god if y'all mention the goddamn mountains again)

#IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED ALRIGHT??? IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS. I FORGET ABOUT SHIT SOMETIMES #idk about later cecil because i stopped listening sometime around the wedding but #if you set this early enough in the podcast you can include the sexyman battle as a plot point and have him like #worry that that skeleton is gonna steal carlos' heart with his ''devastating good looks'' and comedic shenanigans #and then at the last second it turns out he's actually talking about papyrus gskkgkak #sanssweep #sexyman poll #wtnv #undertale #tumblr sexymen poll #sans #cecil palmer

Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!

#bad end wukong #twice as bad au #click for quality cause mobile is stupid #made an alt to the macaque one thanks to that anon who rightfully pointed out that reader hasn’t been giving her hubbys many smooches #man’s just got outta a big battle victorious and wants his wife to congratulate him #he’s only a lil messy it’s fine

[egophiliac]

did….did. grim…did he come home…were you lucky…unlike me…

I was not. let us sit in our No Grim Club together and wallow. 😭 I just hope I can build my key hoard back up enough in time for Halloween...

#art #twisted wonderland #the gacha is vexed with me #as i am for it #at this point i am expecting the halloween cards to be INCREDIBLE just because there's no way i'll get them #i did get my lilia nendoroid shipping date though which eased the pain somewhat #and it seems like a lot of people who did get grim are offering him as their friend card #so we the unlucky can at least get the battle bonuses from him

imagine annabeth's pain in the botl when she realizes she has to return to camp by herself. imagine annabeth's pain as she recalls the look on grover and tyson's faces when the four of them split in groups of two, not really knowing if they'll see each other again. imagine annabeth's pain as she recalls the way percy lied about having a plan, about the way his lips felt when she kissed him, about the way he screamed as the telekhines burned him alive. imagine annabeth's pain as she walks into camp and people congratulate the group for surviving, and then pause when they notice she's alone. imagine annabeth's pain as she trudges over to athena cabin, crawls into her bunk, and buries herself in the covers for days on end.

#percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo text post #pjo headcanon #annabeth chase #percy jackson #grover underwood #tyson #the battle of the labyrinth #annabeth angst #i wonder how much guilt she carries from this event #i wonder what this was like in her point of veiw

So does he, Gallagher.

#honkai star rail #hsr blade #gallagher #i based this off of how many times i used funny soda man to help be a healer with his poppin soda pop in SU #and then blade constantly just being blade as usual #its normally him saying unnecessary to my actual healer but #i kept forgetting gallagher heals and i kept healing when i didnt even need to so TECHNICALLY yeah it was unnecessary #but the amount of times blade was the recipient...... #i cant use like most of my newer units in story bc i cant ascend or i run out of leveling mats so i just #get them and toss them into simulated universe for funsies cause i can match their levels better #so thats where i tossed gallagher and he is genuinely fun to play as ? like i love his punches and kicks to start the battle #funny soda man is funny (to me) and im really behind in plot still #but last time i tried to play it on my laptop and got a kickass cutscene my laptop lagged and i couldnt even see it RIP to me #so now that its like ... me trying to play it on desktop ? #i mostly get on desktop for comms and if i do much else i feel like im slacking off even if i would take a break anyway #one day i can play more story plot stuff and actually meet the funny guys #also in case you know me for Not Having Boys in HSR i need to point out #i did pull Gallagher however same 10 pull got a 4 star girl copy for someone i never use and she is at e4 now cool #and i didnt even think of the irony as i started this i just like drawing blade and i wanted to draw gallagher #so when i already had the dialogue planned and am drawing i was like OH WAIT haha im funnier than i thought #(no i am not but we can pretend)

I think its a rite of passage to make an au at least once, and ive been thinking super hard about how Sonic raised tails lately. So obviously an age swap au had to happen. Aka, the au in which they are both team turbo nerd and Tails needs a Vacation as a dire medical suggestion. (more rambling in tags)

#tails the fox #miles tails prower #sonic the hedgehog #sonic au #age swap au #I dont have that many strong emotions about this one! i just wanted to get it done i think #but ill definitely redo this at some point #Sonic at least had the most intense education possible and even though hes not a prodigy he can build with the best of them #the au where they both end up mega nerds #but sonic is a nerd who does olympic level sprints #i like to think he uses a lot of tech in battle but speed is still his strongest asset #he just uses tech to enhance that speed and better utilize it #tails is so so so so tired but he does his best to be a good brother #sonic wasnt there when he was a kid so he had to learn to survive being bullied and abandoned but he found sonic eventually #and was inspired by his resilliance #and sonic admires tails so much his big brother is so smart like whoa #even when he doesnt get it he pretends to to try to impress him #get my boy miles some r and r ASAP #sonic fanart #sonic the hedghog fanart #mogs art

LU Star Wars AU: Part 5

LAST BUT NOT LEAST ITS TIME AND SKY LETS GO

PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 | PART 4

Time

Time is a direct survivor of Order 66. He was a child living in one of the more remote temples when everything happened, and was able to escape alive by fleeing into the dense forests of the planet.

Time spent many years after that traveling on his own and not getting close to anyone out of fear of being found out, or worse, left behind. He holds a certain bitterness towards everything that's happened, and when he was a teenager, he was involved in a major incident on the planet Termina. Time finally decided to bury his saber on a remote planet after that, unwilling to take on the responsibility that comes with it.

Time actually ended up meeting Sheik and donning Mandalorian armor some time after that in his teenage years. He doesnt always gel with Mandalorian warrior ideaology, but he doesn’t truly fit the Jedi way of his childhood anymore either, after all the war and death he’s seen. He's determined to be strong enough to protect those he cares about, like Malon.

Time doesn't entirely get along with the Chain at first. (Especially Warriors and Twilight; Warriors reminds him of his old Jedi master, who wore a red scarf, and Twilight's saber looks suspiciously familiar.) The boys eventually grew on him anyway, and he counts them among the people he cares about.

Sky

Sky comes from a gaseous planet in the Outer Rim with settlements that float in the clouds, constructed far above its surface.

Sky's planet is a bit of a cosmic mystery, since it should be impossible for islands of solid rock to float; some theorize that it was constructed instead of naturally occurring, or that there is a unique combination of magnetic fields and orbits that make it possible, but no one knows for certain. Loftwings are part of the planet's ecosystem of impossible floating islands, and are an important part of the culture there.

Being so remote, the Empire didn't show much interest in Sky's home planet until Ghirahim showed up. The Empire hasn’t taken over his home yet, and he is determined to keep it that way, along with the rest of the Knights of Skyloft (including Sun). Ghirahim's interest in the planet involved rumors that there was an old Jedi temple hidden on its surface, and the secrets that were hidden within it.

Those rumors turned out to be true; there was an ancient abandoned temple on one of the floating islands, and Sky and Sun ended up discovering it before Ghirahim did. Sky also found a protocol droid named F1, and with Fi's help he and Sun managed to forge their own sabers with the only remaining kyber crystals there.

Sky's connection to the Force manifests mostly as visions, and he occasionally experiences strange, cryptic dreams as a result.

Linked Universe AU belongs to @ linkeduniverse!

#lu time #lu sky #lu star wars au #star wars au #linked universe #star wars #my art #mandalorian time my beloved #in case it isnt clear Saria and the forest kids were kids he grew up with at the temple #I left their fates ambiguous on purpose but point is he doesn’t really see them again after that #saria and the kokiri are FINE in my HEART #also I really like the worldbuilding for skyloft ooof #celestials and potenitally constructed systems exist in the lore and im abusing it to fit skyloft into star wars!!!! #god I wanna design sith ghirahim I think a saber battle between him and sky would be cool as hell to draw

not gonna go in depth on my feelings about the finale right now... i'm just so happy for cabby!! :)

#dandy's doodles #inanimate insanity #ii #ii cabby #battle for dream island #bfdi #bfdi flower #ii spoilers #girls who have character arcs and win <3 love them #i think i'll only be able to truly appreciate the finale when i'm able to comprehend the antagonists' motives. like what are they doing #it could be the most beautiful finale ever for all i know but i genuinely do not understand a good 70% of the conflict here #(it probably isn't a good thing when you have to rewatch the whole season to understand a huge plot point in the finale... #...or maybe i'm just dumb and didn't pick up on something obvious :P) #hello clover is the 'green goddess'??? hello
