#the world still bows to him

[shikai-the-storyteller]

Vegetta heard that some members of the server are scared of him and he was like "Why? I'm not even a tryhard, I was the last person to get slime armor" and I'm like... Vegetta people are already scared of you, WHY would you respond to that with "But this isn't even 1% of my true power''

#i talk #qsmp talk #Vegetta be like ''This isn't even my final form'' #Vegetta be like ''well if you're going to be scared of me at least let me give you a good reason for it /pos'' lmao #It's always so baffling to me (as a KarmaIand fan) seeing how Vegetta's depicted in Fool/igetta fanworks #because the way people often depict Foolish as this incredibly powerful demigod (only sometimes incorporating his actual personality / lore #is how people depicted Vegetta (minus the ''we're disregarding his personality'' part that sometimes happens) in Karmaland #Like it's almost a perfect reverse uno in terms of how people depict Vegetta in KarmaIand vs Q.S.M.P #I'm not mad about it or anything I'm just genuinely amused by how people manage to underestimate him and STILL are afraid of him #like oh honey....... whatever Foolish's ties to immortality and godhood are pale in comparison to Vegetta's #(This is nothing against Foolish BTW his lore on the previous server was fun and I'm bitter we never got to see more of it) #(The entire death totem thing was sick and also the concept of totem gods is so interesting) #The way Vegetta is depicted in Karmaland is very strange #he seems like a being (not necessarily a god but definitely something powerful) #who made their world then stepped back so he could be a part of it #So even though he respects the guidance of elders like Merlon #(to some degree) #and talks about the ''gods'' (admins) as higher powers #the world still bows to him #and that includes the QSMP world #realistically we know this is because every single admin adores Vegetta and grew up with him #but we're looking at this through a lore lense #I can get into this more later - I feel like I should elaborate on my thoughts here and add some canon backing to explain myself a bit more #but you get the jist #Me: let's post a silly little thought about the minecraft series I'm watching #Also me: LET ME CITE MY SOURCES - #Listen man you can't unlearn some things #I'm a professional writer it's in my nature

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Fellplates #Gaster #Asgore #The thought of Gaster able to heal himself! Rather to only have himself to rely on in a world that lives to hurt him (and everyone else) #It's an interesting inversion that's for sure #Is it as satisfying if it's not the one who deserves the broken bones? The pain of rejection or of justice retribution punishment? #It's still the same face - and it's not like he's wholly innocent here either #And besides it's always fun to draw tears hee ♪ #Get him just a bit disheveled aside from the broken bone - it's hard to imagine him in different clothes even after drawing him in the dress #Softer clothes would be so nice to hold Babybones with but even just dropping a shoulder off his coat or untying his bow tie - it's strange! #I do like the image of his flower crown shedding petals when he gets roughed up tho hehe - tossed around just a little too much! #Breaking his hand right down the middle - it'd be much easier with the holes in his hands as a weak point #All his bones could break easier than his hands before that but now- #It's weird to draw Asgore like that lol I dunno....Works well enough for utility but pffblt :P I always forget his pauldrons anyhow lol #Really rubbing it in that Gaster will be fiiiine he's sooooo special what with his ability to heal >:( Lol #It does make him a bit of a target - a regenerating punching bag? Ideal to see just how far you can push him #It was fun to draw with my green coloured pencil as well ahh <3 Healing magic always gives me a bit of the warm fuzzies #It was the original comic that made me fall in love with Handplates after all ♥ Pretty and feelings <3

Based on the way the story has been written, especially following season 4, I do believe mike is likely gay atp. But “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls” still makes sense as projection if Mike is bi because lots of closeted bi teens are confused about their feelings, especially in the 80s where terms like “bisexual” wouldn’t have been as readily accessible to kids from Hawkins, Indiana.

Simply the fact that Mike likes boys/Will could make him worried that he’s gay and cause him to hyperfixate on the concept of not liking girls more often, especially if his feelings for El were waning, or if his feelings for Will were overwhelming, even if he did in fact have a crush on El at the start of the show. Nothing says being a closeted bi teen like bouncing back and forth between “I can’t be gay, I like girls” and “Oh no, I like boys, am I gay?”

I think there’s a common misconception that the bi Mike view necessitates oversimplifying the story as “Mike used to be into El, and now he’s into Will.” That isn’t necessarily the case. A bi Mike reading can still involve internalized homophobia, projection, the heteronormative pressure to conform and date girls, repression, and most of the things we talk about here.

(I didn’t really wanna get involved in this, but I feel like this is important to add).

#byler #gay mike wheeler #bi mike wheeler #even looking at the modern media example of heartstopper #nick nelson is bi #(but the am i gay quiz he took gave him a 62% which means he likely has a male lean) #he does like girls which means he technically has the ability to like Imogen who is pretty and kind and likable #but his feelings for charlie are overwhelming #and even in a modern context where microlabels are more well known #he still gets confused and struggles to understand how he’s feeling and what it all means #why do people expect a boy growing up in hawkins indiana with a conservative father #and no internet access while going through puberty #to have a perfect grasp on what he feels towards will and el? #the bi-cyle is real too #and there are even celebs who previously identified as bi who realize they’re gay/lesbian and vice versa #in 2024 #that’s why on some level the queer but unlabeled mike is the best #because it’s the best of both worlds and captures the complexity of being gay in the 80s #a definitively gay mike WOULD tie everything up in a nice cohesive unmessy neat clear narrative bow #but not everything is clear and unmessy

Iruma is an invasive species within the Netherworld, and like many invasive species he will conquer if left unchecked.

We know at some point, humans and demons interacted though, at some point, they each became each other’s myths. I propose that the separation was intentional on the demon side, relegating humans to bedtime stories. They did this because they knew a single human could elevate or devastate the Netherworld. Humans are weaker in demons in most ways physically but their real strength lies in their cooperativeness and desire for community, adaptability  and perseverance despite adversity.

Right from the start, Iruma has unnaturally succeeded in a world that incredibly hostile to him. And yet from the start be began building relationships. We’ve seen demons don’t have much of a concept of ‘friends’ the closest being ‘allies’. The Misfits individually were lazy and self-centered which is what got them sent to troublemakers class. Only when Iruma reached out and formed positive relationships, created a foreign system of giving and receiving help did they really flourish. With each arc, we see the class cooperating and relying with each other more and more, even in individual events. Its helped them grow exponentially in power and personality and only occurred because Iruma planted the notion that they are stronger together.

Iruma is also extremely adaptable not only from his hectic upbringing but his innate humanity. Despite not knowing the context of what is happening during most of his day, he adapts extremely well. He uses what skills he gained in the human world by tweaking them to suit his needs and picked up new demonic skills (such as using Ali-san’s stored magic) very quickly. Part of the ‘special training’ leading up to the Harvest Festival was forcing the kids to break out of just using their bloodline abilities. Iruma has no power himself and thus isn’t limited in what he uses to complete a task. We’ve seen on a few occasions he wins simply because his opponent is too stuck in a particular way of fighting and thinking. Being able to think on his feet and not just stick to the familiar is what makes him such a fierce opponent.

Finally, we’ve observed that demons on the whole are self-centered and lazy. This is not always the case but overall many lack the ability to pursue or accept change. Even the Six Fingers is all about returning to origins and reviving Delkira, in other words, moving backwards. But since he arrived in the Netherworld Iruma has boldly moved forward. He integrated well into a completely alien environment and not only became popular but powerful very quickly. He worked hard to unlearn an ingrained skill (dodging) to win a contest going head to head with the most powerful student. Even when his fellows wanted to give up, his dedication and well known compassion helped win them the Royal One. He became an expert archer even when his master said most demons gave up, refusing to put in the effort. Challenges that most demons backed down from, Iruma charged on ahead.

Iruma used his ability to bring people together, to adapt to any situation no matter how strange and to see his ambitions through to go from someone who should’ve been eaten on day one to a stand out demon. Iruma himself is a kind, extraordinary young man but he also has a natural advantage in an environment he is unknowingly adapted to. It’s one of the reasons why he will eventually be demon king because who else deserves to stand at the very top than the creature who can outnumber, out-think and outlast any demonic opponent?

#mairimashita! iruma kun #welcome to demon school iruma kun #i have so many iruma thoughts dont mind me #but this has been on my mind since the harvest festival #Bachiko noting that most demons just gave up learning the bow bc it was too hard #humans are stubborn bastards we dont give up demons... not so much apparently #thus the idea that demons and humans are kept seperate bc humans will just overrun demons #despite their demonic physical advantages they just dont have the strength of character to outmatch a human #it really does explain (other than anime logic) why Iruma has consistantly landed on top every time #in a world supposedly out to kill him #I imagine to some older folks learning that Iruma is a human would scare the shit out of them #along the lines of 'human are space orcs' thinking #also sad thought I've had related but didn't quite have the space to talk about #human scent/blood is known to be alluring to demons #despite his perfume one cant completely cover their smell #perhaps some of Irumas popularity is bc demons are unconsciously drawn to him and his yummy smell #just not knowing why #they still love him for being Iruma but it adds a sad lil tang to their relationship #would they even exist had Iruma been the same but in a demon body? #anyway Ive been writing this on and off all day bye

sometimes i think abt towa and argentine in the very last manga chapter n cry

THEY GET TO SEE IT ALL... #how heavy the pressure is on dark n dai both actually despite the superficial layers like elmroot says #the 'outer self' that enjoys being a phantom thief and then the inner that 'hunts his own kind' #how tired dark is sometimes... #well. w/e. point is niwa fam chara writers who ever take this into account ill kiss u forever #dark can be annoying or behave in spoiled/lazy/belligerent ways sometimes but it rlly makes him and dai more like the #rebel angel leader / boy king example i try to write them as. they still care ofc they doooo #it's just they're the equivalent of the highest seat holding together their little country #their miniature empire that dark n the niwa have built up over yrs n yrs n yrs!! #dark never claims himself a king or a prince he doesn't throw his weight or titles around like that #but between paradise lost and POTO's occasional angel of darkness/PRINCE of darkness #the vibes are there in between the lines. they r right there. this dude has so much hes taking responsibility for #even though he doesn't even Have To. but in doing so- he is. and SHOULD rightly be supported #in the manner of someone in service demonstrating loyalty to him #ok. ramble over

"If you meet your Aunt Irene Fraser down on the Island remember me to her," said grandmother. There was an odd little tone of exultation in her voice. Jane felt that grandmother had got the better of Aunt Irene in some way, at some time, and wanted it rubbed in. It was as if she had said, "She will remember me." And who was Aunt Irene?

I don't know Aunt Irene but if she fought with grandmother I think I'm going to like her. Now hopefully she can get back at the grandmother for whatever happened before.

spn s5 had such a perfdct finale like im glad it didnt just call sam a blood freak over and over and then end with him in the deepest darkest pit forever im glad the show went on for fuckteenth seasons and then he got to go to heaven and know peace when he was done ans all that but literally s5 had such a good fucking endinggggggggg its ok dean ive got him. words that will rattle around in my skull until my dying day

#its ok dean ive got him unlocked new emotions for me #dean beaten to a bloody pulp kneeling on the ground defeated head bowed because it was all for naught #all thwir arguments and their best laid efforts and their friends who sacrificed their lives and the people he threatened #none of it matters because the world is saved and his brother is dead. sam was never getting out of this alive. #clawing at the walls biting everyone. his home has never been so empty. the AC still rattles #but no one will ever sit in the passenger seat again and know why that is. no one will ever sit in the passenger seat. #and no matter how happy he manages to be there will always be the tickle in the back of his mind #because sam's never getting out. and death will not reunite them. and sam will never know happiness again. eternal suffering.

It is genuinely so funny to me that Vegetta was complaining about Leonarda not being online so much that Cucurucho himself showed up, man really has the entire world wrapped around his finger (as he should).

#i talk #qsmp talk #Me gesturing wildly at the tags of a previous post I made about Vegetta #acknowledging the IRL ramifications of everyone and all the admins being in love with him #vs the lore implications of him being such a powerful creator entity that even in a world that isn't his #the so-called ''higher powers'' STILL bow to him #*clenches my fist* he deserves it

I still think nen was the most well thought out magic systems I’ve ever read about. Like literally anything was possible but there were also still rules and shit you hadn’t heard about. Hxh is amazing for a lot of reasons but you’ve gotta admit the world building is actually pretty incredible when you get into it.

#I’m not caught up #my mental illness is making it too hard #but like…I’m going to when I feel a little better bc I haven’t stopped caring #I still think about how so many of the nen abilities had these huge drawbacks while also being extremely powerful and that was the point #like kite’s ability was really cool but put him at a disadvantage very frequently #or with my own obsession with pokkle and his arrows #it was a really good idea #he was already naturally skilled with a bow and already used to using arrows with special abilities even before he had nen #he wanted to be a hunter in the real sense like of actual magical creatures so what better than a bow? #his magic was specific to his character and made sense within the world and also #he ultimately died because it was too specific

#I actually used a reference from the resent Beth picture #she looks a lot less happy because of how my hc have evolved #(what I mean by that is Elizabeth gets tormented by her brothers; Micheal's just an teen who never learned how to express emotions unless #through violence *YES I'M PROJECTING STFU D':* as for Crying Child; it's because jealousy *Mom loves her hates him* and just because Mike #has been doing the same to him since he was able to crawl :// Mike; William; and Lora*Mrs.Afton* all despise CC because another hc I have #*SA mention in this hc* CC was conceived from Lora's ex fiance assaulting her :/ he was arrested but CC looks like the pathetic man so... #constant reminder :/// oh well) #PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD DRAWINGS WHOOO; Gregory's face shape is a fucking circle and his hair looks like scribbles #SOME OF THE LINES DON'T EVEN CONNECT???

I sure do love being suicidal and liking the Magicians and seeing people not understand why Quentin wouldn't wanna fucking go back and instead start foaming at the mouth because they don't actually fucking get it

He went quietly into that good night for a fucking reason maybe you should think about that instead

#anyway quentins death makes me cry #every time #because i understand him #you love the people you sacraficed so much you would die for them and you did #and youre too tired of beibg alive and just want to rest #anyway brining quentin back from the dead IS selfish and im killing all of you insisting his friends #WHO LOVE HIM #would want to bring him back to a world that hurt him so much #fuck you #if i fucking kill myself let me fucking rest #tell me you dont know what it feels like to want to kill yourself because youre fuckinf exausted of being alive #but not doing it because you still love your friends and dont want to disappoint them #and when the opening happens where you can die and not feel guilty you take it #i would #the only reason im alive right bow is guilt
