dude. what is up with Edward Twilight. He really tried to establish dominance over Arthur ‘call me Sir until you earn my name’ Bennett, in the craziest, most confusing interaction, where he gloated over being with Mary, but also gave a ‘we saw you across the bar and dug your vibe’ sorta energy in what I can only call an attempted power play? and then he immediately lost the idgaf war so bad to he had to make two frenzy checks.

#he then proceeded to effectively roofie him and shilo with the most fucked up vampire society peer pressure the worlds ever seen #mf is a primogen and boy did he use that pull to do his best to humiliate and tear down their morals and gloat #all because his feewings were huwt :( weak ass stick up his ass prick #I can’t believe out of everyone he survived fuckin. daybringer solomon. he needs a biblical angel to knock him down to earth. then hell #his music theme slaps though. there’s honest to god sparkles in that shit. sax and sparkles and it fits his bitch ass well #jrwi #jrwi the suckening #the suckening #the suckening spoilers #z speaks

Bowser : why is Green Mario here ?? I didn't kidnap anyone this week ! Won't you pests leave me alone ?? You have a death wish or what, you wimpy little-

Luigi, scruffed by the collar : ah, I'm-I'm-I'm here for the job offer actually.

Bowser : what job offer ??

Luigi : *holds up an ad for a croupier job*

Kamek : that tracks, Sire, the casino is hiring these days.

Bowser : You ?? A dealer in MY casino ?? Since when do you that ??

Luigi, shrugging : it's-a been a while but I used to do that as a side job during my studies. I saw the ad, got nostalgic, and-

Bowser : Pah !! As if I would hire you ! I'm NOT gonna let you turn my casino into a joke ! Bet you can't even hold a deck properly !

Luigi, glaring : bet I can beat you at any card game.

Bowser, too vexed to think : DEAL !

*

Bowser, 2 hours later : ...what just happened.

Kamek : you promised him the job if he beat you, Your Baffledness.

Bowser : HOW IS HE THAT GOOD ?? He must have cheated!! I can't give him the job !!

Kamek : Sire, you gave your word-!

Bowser, grinning devilishly : he wants to work for me ? Oh, is he gonna love his new job...

#super mario bros #miscellaneous mario madness #bowuigi #sorta ? #i just listened to that world 8 theme in 3D world and it slaps #but also made me think of Luigi's casino gig #anyway Bowser keeeps trying to find out how Luigi cheats. except he never does. #Luigi is still a nervous mess outside of a poker table but when he sits down he gets in the zone #dealer Luigi in Bowser's casino AU

I have no idea whats going on in Amanda the Adventurer lore wise but I keep seeing her monster design in thumbnails and its so bad it pisses me off so have some foeart about it (like fanart but angry) + some process doodles

#As I said I have no clue whats going on story wise so for all I know its great #no hate to anyone who likes this game #but her monster design..... why..... #amanda the adventurer #redesign #doodles #theres so much they could have done with her but she's just so generic!!! why!! #it looks like they slapped human hair onto a rat. and she does look like a weird rat #they have so much sheep themeing they could have incorperated at least some of that #not to mention they ditched her entire color pallet?? there are ways to make a character look sickly without making them stark white #the way they did the eyes makes it look like she has rocks on her face. they dont even read as eyes because they didn't give her pupils #wont try to claim this is necessarily a better design but at least its recognizable as Amanda

In honor of the @rw-ship-showdown I wanted to write about Artihunter as someone who jokingly slapped them together pre-downpour and still thinks they are actually very compelling. Just not in the super soft love wins kinda way (Although I get why people like that more) And the only way I know how to do that is talking too much so heres a far too long slug essay-

Obviously the slugcats don't offer a ton of characterization but theres not nothing to work with. Their stories, whether by their roles in it or the overarching themes do provide a backbone to work with. Even gameplay itself can provide a bit. (for some more than others) Hunter, to me, is ultimately a story about selflessness. The goal is to revive Moon, which is very much an act of kindness from both Hunter and NSH. But the weight of that action is much more significant for Hunter- Hunter is deeply sick. They're on the clock, and for all their skill in combat none of that will ultimately help them to survive longer than their body can hold out. Moon is a close friend of NSH but that means little Hunter- Hunter really gets next to nothing out of helping them, and ultimately pays quiet a bit spending their limited time alive fighting to deliver that neuron so that someone else can live.

To spend ones limited days on helping another, in a game that very much stresses the unwavering cruelty of the world and nature- is pretty notable. (And you could even say that Hunter being the Hardmode of Rain World adds another layer to this)

And then we have Artificer. A storyline that very much stands out to people as more… villainous (so to speak) than the other slugcats. Artificer's story covers a lot of things. Trauma, violence, revenge, etc. Revenge is a bit of a selfish desire- That need to see someone hurt as they have hurt you. A punishment that ultimately does not fix whatever harm was done- but feels good to see because you were hurt and now those responsible share that pain.

Artificer's actions are founded in that need for revenge, their pups killed for overstepping boundaries they didn't know existed. Is it not fair for them to be angry at that, to punish the scavengers for their violence with their own? Why should the scavengers ever be forgiven when they and their pups were not? And that's how you get that loop- Harm for harm over and over.

The original action has been lost in a spiral of violence for violence. And here stands Artificer- their very spirit scarred. Not just because they sought revenge, but because they never ceased trying to scratch that itch for violence as an answer. Artificer only has two paths for their story- killing the scavenger king (Someone who, really, has little to do with the original 'crime' of the scavengers, but represents an important individual to them- as did the slugpups to Artificer), locking themselves as karma one for good and spending the rest of their life chasing creatures that no longer even fight back in a warped sense of closure- or to dissolve themselves in the acids of the void sea because they're too far gone to find any real peace.

They can't meaningfully recover from that state, not alone, twisting in on themselves. Even if they halt their actions, they've been using violence as a feeble defense against their own pain- violence that no longer has any real direction or basis. Artificer gets no real closure from killing the scavenger king. All they can do is continue the cycle, or try to scrub it away. No real peace in a prison of their own making. So you have a creature, who even with a strict timer on their life- a body that will crumble to disease, spends its last bit of time on saving another. And another who was so caught up in the pain of loss that were eaten alive by their own anger, poisoned their own soul on such a deep level even self-proclaimed gods have no solution for them. What peace can they offer each other? For Hunter, its only a fleeting moment of happiness- of selfish love, before their own body fails them. A bit of indulgence in something for themself. For Artificer, its a single, comforting thread to ground them again, something tangible to protect and care about again. But thats a thread that will ultimately be snapped under the cruel indifference of the world. Hunters timer will tick down regardless of if it takes another with it. Its a tragedy- its doomed to end badly. Whatever good it offers to either of them to find each other will only provide the fleeting comfort of a band-aid that will be ripped away too early. But all that can be worth indulging in anyway, if only for the moment. It doesn't change the ending, but the ending was never going to be happy. Its can so yuri

#rain world #rw shipping #tagging that just cause this is explicitly about that even though I usually dont do shipping stuff #with that said i dont even think this particular interpretation of a possible dynamic needs to be romantic its just kinda #about companionship in general. companionship thats going to absolutely shred an already unstable slug emotionally but thats #the point. friendship and love in spite of the unavoidable ending #just noticed this is like 80% theme analysis and 20% 'these go together just trust me' #but also theyre both girls because i want them to and also because im channeling hornet from hollow knight #who made me so deeply ill that my rain world tags still havent outcompeted my Hk tags because i drew her so much. so so much. #hunter is hornet coded to me and artificer is like if angela and gebura from lc combined into a deeply fucked up ferret #also i did tag the poll because they kinda inspired this but also. i wasnt gonna put all this out here WITHOUT a readmore thats embarassing #but i guess this is propaganda for a ship already seen as popular but like... idk i think theres something to it even as someone #who did literally slap them together originally because they were both red slugcats i considered girls. predownpour so we didnt have anythi #anyway hi tag readers i have so much work to do im being bad by writing about gay slugs. i need to get myself together #its so late this might just be nonsense bwaaaaaaa

it was so important to me to make sure this gif existed

#the way greg uses his whole arm from the shoulder made me scream literally #cat behavior #whenever succession is over I feel like such a doofus because everyone is talking about the sibling themes and the poison or whatever #and I'm like did you see the slap fight. were you even listening to connor talk about the kilt #yes I recently learned how to make gifs. kind of #but it's not anything I particularly enjoy doing #succession #succession spoilers #tomgreg #tom wambsgans #greg hirsch

sometimes a theme tune composed for a show aimed at little kids is far better than it needs to be, when honestly any vaguely catchy or obnoxiously ear-grabbing formula would do just fine nobody would really care, and then you look up the composer and it's always some like. former member of an alternative rock group or experimental new wave keyboardist and you go ah yeah it makes sense now.

#this is about story makers lmao #also it doesn't count for this example bc it's an older audience cartoon #but I recently found out the ben 10 theme was done by jellyfish co-founder and music producer andy sturmer like ohhhh that's why it slaps #teen titans theme as well bc he worked with puffy amiyumi

Eskel is like "I WILL read this book about... A wolf and all his friends? Dancing and being. happy... 🥺"

#the witcher netflix #geraskier lovechild #eskel #soft eskel #geraskier #(no jeskel I am sorry but honestly I can see it at times) #omegaverse #listen retrospectively Eskel will slap his face (repeatedly) because it is at times pretty obvious (but only if you know!!) #did Milek accidentally call Eskel 'daddy' a few times? ofc he did. (how should Eskel know that he didn't just mixed it up in excitement.) #'oh he clearly meant his omega father' WELL #Roach should have been an indicator! but it's either that that name is in one of jaskiers songs (probable) and jaskier is like #'oh yeah he likes that one bard song about the horse - I swear he loves horses' #(that isn't even a lie and it's very Jaskier to compose an ode for Roach) #or he just goes 'We heard stories about a witcher crossing our town-' #and now wolf themed kids book. it's- #oh well #a lot of things are obvious when you look back to them #and I think Eskel could have made the connection! if Jaskier still had a lute. he would have gone at least once '... geralts omega bard??' #(who Geralt didn't really talk about but who they always could still smell traces of on him - bad thing that scents change after pregnancy) #but no lute?? connection not made. #that's the one jaskier thing Eskel knows of. always has a lute. #and retrospectively he can see that Milek and Geralt really look alike - it's at this age more obvious than later - because that is the age #that Eskel remembers. In which he still has a mental picture of what Geralt looked like? but it's been SO LONG #over a century #and Eskel was a traumatized child too. Things are. Very muddy. #the only ones who have a chance to recognize Milek are Visenna and Vesemir and that's it.

were you ever/are you a fan of bleach? something about the way you draw just vaguely reminds me of bleach for some reason

I did try reading it once or twice, but for some reason Bleach has always been one of the few Shonen Jump series that I just never got into.

...KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN ON THE OTHER HAND--

#daily dork #they both got those long boi kinda artstyles so i understand the confusion lol #but no the only thing ik about bleach is that the theme songs slap
