#then the ridiculous backstories

[esterigermaine]

Gotta say the new DnD movie is accurate as hell regarding all the chaos players get up to. It is utterly ridiculous and I love it.

It is not a serious movie or a movie one should take seriously. It has the same tone as my old college group had, but with less campaign derailment.

#dnd #honor among thieves #movie #pissrat and orc barbie would have been right at home #yes I have a friend who played a giant rat that peed on everything and ate clothing #the rat was a package deal with the rogue and now the 2 are getting married #and then I forgot orc barbie's name since we only referred to her as that #but she was an orc who had a thing for attempting human fashion trends and tiny men. #then the ridiculous backstories #we literally spent a year with CoS due to chaos and derailments #granted our DM was patient and found our nonsense hilarious but I think we may have gone a little far with #starting a gnome brothel #point is people think dnd is some serious storytelling when in fact it is how that movie went down 90% of the time #i will be stealing that mouse trick for my next druid and yall cant stop me

thinking about detective grimoire again, i still wanna know what the little girl's deal actually is...

#still so bummed that she got cut from tangle tower i would've loved to see grim sally & her interact with each other #i know they'd be a hectic trio and it'd be a freaking blast but it was probably for the best #she's still ridiculously fun to draw #i need to work on my fancase again so i can actually talk about the little girl backstory i cooked up... #detective grimoire #secret of the swamp #little girl #🎨 : mj draws

Lovelies, I do not know enough about LoZ to be making an entirely new timeline so that Hyrule Warriors has its own lore, but here we are.

#good ganondorf #I'm making backstories for people good grief #creating new heroes #just to give a character a history #this is fun but also ridiculous LOL #I'll mess something up for sure but whatever

[paradisepoisoned]

I also drew Near and Mello’s grandmothers for no reason other than I am seriously ill.

Cookie to whoever can guess which country Near’s grandma is from

#am i kicked out of the fandom yet?? lmaoa #i make ridiculous backstories for no reason #death note #nate river #near #mello #mihael keehl #mello x near #meronia #near death note #my art #death note headcanons #i feel like i am gravely misusing the tags but i refuse to give a fuck

sorry but comparing whether Jyn or Cassian suffered more in their life like it's the fucking trauma Olympics is fucking ridiculous

they both suffered the same and it's literally not a competition, hope this helps <3

#let's see they both lost their parents around the same age #cassian was kidnapped and lost his sister #jyn was a child soldier #(and so was cassian if you wanna go by his original backstory but i digress) #both had an unstable childhood #both had to watch their parent die actually (lyra and clem) #jyn was abandoned by saw cassian was in juvie #both went to labour camp #they literally both went through the same things but please tell me how cassian had it so much easier than her i'd like to hear #again it's not a competition anyway #but it's ridiculous to even compare when they went through pretty much the same shit lmao #im fucking tired of this narrative #i swear some of y'all don't even like cassian lmao #shut up sissi #discourse #maybe i'll delete this later #im just fucking tired #stop pitting jyn and cassian against each other #they're equals that's the best part about them!! my god #anyway this is a cassian andor defense account #don't talk to me if you don't like him

Bruce and Talia on the cover of Detective Comics #1069

#the fact that no one on Tumblr has uploaded this yet is ridiculous #its so pretty look at it #even in Death Talia looks gorgeous #I have been enjoying TEC so far even though the backstory in the annual was confusing #I hope Talia's part in it stay being good #Talia al Ghul #Bruce Wayne

me, watching any shounen with any protagonist: ok but izuku midoriya is better

#I SAID WHAT I SAID #simultanously watching dbz and bsd right now #...i love dbz but the power creep in the frieza is insane #like ok fine great goku is a super saiyan what if gohan ended up stronger than both he and vegeta what if it was a message about #the power of kindness and humanity WHAT THEN #also i love atsushi dont get me wrong but... #like i get it his power is unique and important and whatever #but WHY #WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT #why can he just USE IT #the reason izuku midoriya is the best... #well #let me be brief (1/456) #...obviously i jest but... like... #my boy isn't special. thats the thing. he's powerless but works his ass off constantly to keep up with others #he wasn't born special. he's not an alien. he isn't being manipulated by some grand order. he's just... deku #if there's a message of inspiration to kids or teenagers its HIM #you don't HAVE to be born special #(another reason why i hate the dfo theory tbh...) #he doesn't even have some ridiculous dramatic backstory. he's got a mom. he's well fed. he's a little bit of a lonely bullied dork but that #such an inherently #normal HUMAN problem #and despite being normal. HE PERSEVERES. #anyway is there ever a day i dont think about izuku midoriya? #don't GET ME STARTED ON RIVALS #katsuki is really THAT BITCH #vegeta? get out of here #akutagawa? i desire him carnally but NOT EVEN #NOBODY DOES IT LIKE HIm #THE BUILD-UP. THE TENSION OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP

i just love her so much u guys

#clown #clown oc #prismart #her name is poppy btw and her backstory is ridiculous

I just finished Skypeia AGHHHFJHHHH it was so GOOD

#One Piece #My favorite arc BY FAR #It was really long! But it wasn’t Alabasta long!! #Also Noland’s backstory deadass made me tear up that shit was so sad #Idk this arc just really kept me hooked. Like there wasn’t really a point I got super bored #Even with all the fights going on #Also just realizing they mentioned Noland in OPLA too. Nami read Zoro the book while he was totally conked out #Anyway ANYWAY I really enjoyed it. Lots of fun character interactions #And Usopp actually getting to do stuff too?? MY MANS #Oh and Zoro’s look this arc. God he was STYLIN. I’m so weak for a man in goggles shut up. #Logically that should apply to Usopp too and you know what. Yeah. #G8 is next and I know it’s filler but I’ve heard nothing but praise for it #So I’ll probably watch it instead of skipping :’D #Shima speaks #Also I find it stupidly ridiculous and funny that YET AGAIN Oda said ‘Lol you thought x character was dead?? SIKE’ #Wiper got electrocuted and died like eight times but he’s fine actually. Also Sanji and Usopp got electrocuted too and were out #for like a full day. And then Enel zapped them AGAIN and Usopp was back on his feet like two minutes later. #Silly anime logic. It doesn’t make sense and I love it

I've been obsessed with this idea since 2 years ago but never went ahead with it, so ❤️ this for a starter meant for a back-and-forth Q&A thread! (Specify muse/s too if you have a preference)

#* ooc. / posts. #I had this kind of thread exactly Once w Naotora and Naoe and it was SOOO much fun I haven't stopped thinking about it since #So here's the possibility for one for all of my muses <3 it'll basically be them having a convo meant to make them know each other better! #It could remain lighthearted all the while or it could take on a darker aspect (i.e talking about fears; backstory; traumas etc) #I just feel like so many of my muses have Great dynamics but don't actually know?? basic things like what their bestie's favorite color is #which is ridiculous and clearly I need to fix that somehow ADHSAJDSAKJ plus I love doing chill threads like these #they feel so natural? and I think it'll help my muses form much deeper/more realistic dynamics #We don't even need to worry about the setting either bc it could be at home. at a bar. at a park at night. It doesn't matter

A Tudors OT3 verse in universe tumblr post about The Tudors in that universe. Very much inspired by @nocompromise-noregrets to whom Ellie belongs.

I regret to inform the tumblr that I have sunk into depths of clownery previously thought of as impossible. I am the Mariana Trench of Fail. I am not serving cunt, I am serving nothing.

It starts with going to my girlfriends cousin regular pub quiz because they were out a person and I know Some Things and also hey, free snacks!

At the start of this I want to note this was pre Unmasked Part I airing and I had No Fucking Idea. I was just there, sexualising Rupert Graves and James Frain and thinking oh what a great enemies ship need to smush their faces together and also their dicks.

[insert that meme about being in hell looking for Fail King Hugh Norwich here in retrospect also thee iconic post by dansemacabrebutts, Ioan I am in your clown shoes]

So I was chatting to one of the quiz team and turns out she’s (a) watching the show and (b) definitely a Fandom Person and we get on to shipping at some point and so I open my mouth like “isn’t the sexual energy between Norwich and Cromwell off the charts charged? Can’t wait to write porn about them”

She looks at me with the kind of pained expression that I have only seen in parents of small children watching them spill paint on themselves for the fourth time - in the awareness that really, it’s their fault for trusting them with the paint. At first I thought oh maybe it’s an anti thing? (She’s not a restorationist which was my second notion because my girlfriends family would Kick The Fuck Off and listen, Restorationists do not carry Tolkien merch at all - especially not that gorgeous print of the wedding of Bard and Thranduil from the estate)

“I think that’s something you’ll have to wait and see about” she says and my cousin in law is looking at me like they want to disown my entire family line back fifteen generations.

I think oh that’s an odd answer and kind of shrug and change the subject awkwardly and we don’t really talk. And then like a week later I watch Unmasked Part I. And then they have the after show interviews and:

GUYS THAT WAS THE ELLIE WHO DISCOVERED NORWICHS PAPERS. YES THAT ELLIE. I WILL BE MORTIFIED ON MY DEATH BED. I WAS NORWICH GLORIFYING TO THE PERSON WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST PERSON WHO HAD TO READ HIS WORKS. MY COUSIN IN LAW IS RIGHT TO DISOWN ME DISHONOUR UPON MY NON EXISTENT COWS. I am putting on the clown makeup and the shoes as we speak.

ONE THING that I haven't seen ANYONE talk about is that Wee John was knitting in the past 2 episodes, and wearing his own knitted clothing, and ALSO that the actor was ACTUALLY KNITTING

#I'm a fiber artist and this is important to me #most of the time actors don't know how to knit #and it always ends up looking ridiculous #but he was ACTUALLY knitting #which is also one of the more “posh” fiber arts #so it makes me wonder about his backstory #it's not that much of a thing now #but especially in the past #crochet was for the poor #and knitting was for the rich #that's why crochet is often seen as “tacky” #i made myself start infodumping about fiber art #i can't stop #someone help #due to my infodumping i completely forgot the ofmd tags #so I'm adding them now #ofmd #ofmd 2 #ofmd s2 speculation #ofmd wee john #wee john ofmd

This is just a little thing, but I just can't get behind characterizations of Jason that talk about him thinking that "Robin makes me magic" was proof that he was like, this sweet little kid.

For one thing, the Jason Todd who says that is pre-crisis. The Jason Todd who says that was being written as Dick, just a little more reckless and inexperienced. For another, Jason said that for exactly the same reason all Robins say shit; to justify disobeying Bruce lol.

The line isn't the cute wish-fulfillment of a poor kid from the Narrows. It's evidence of a circus acrobat's belief in his own invincibility, offered as proof that he is tougher than Bruce thinks he is.

The pages in question, from Batman #385:

#jason todd #like idk i just really have to side eye anyone who uses precrisis stuff to talk about who Jason was #even though a lot of this was retconned to be part of his backstory #it wasn't written *for jason* as we know him #tbh that is often Jason's problem in general #they retcon his story and yet try to pretend that the decisions made for an alternate him still stand #like jason saying Dick sent him to prison in N52 #(which Dick didn't do but I don't think Lobdell was exactly doing his homework and i can see where the statement comes from) #the one time Dick is present while Jason gets hauled off the jail #Jason had just stripped Dick of his clothes #had killed a bunch of random criminals #recruited a random teenager girl who was grieving her father as a sidekick and almost gotten her killed #and got Damian shot seven times by being reckless!!!! #like maybe people feel that wasn't in character for Jason #but it's ridiculous to get mad that other characters reacted to that jason by saying he needed to be arrested #like he absolutely needed to be arrested

beware of giving your characters silly names, lest ye end up with complicated tragic emotions associated with the word "juice"

#juice #this has been a post #look. okay. listen. i knew his name had to be Justice #for reasons #n I like having nicknames. n all i could think of for Justice was. hm. well. unfortunately. #Jussy #which is horrible and i could not tell anyone that #but it kinda sounds like Juicy. so that's what I told my party his nickname would be #n over time that got shortened to Juice. which to be fair is less ridiculous sounding than Juicy. #so now I just. have a character earnestly named Juice #and he's one of my most complicated and tragic characters #he's certainly the most doomed one #(tbh tho tbh tbh tbh all of my characters have some level of tragic in their backstory)

questions on the sun hashira au,, that i’m having to send through submissions because i hit the character limit for asks LOL

do you know roughly how old you see the characters as? i know tanjirou is 21 and nezuko biologically 12, but i don’t think you’ve said about anyone else! i’m seeing giyuu as pretty young since i generally imagine him being no older than thirteen in final selection, so even though in KNY canon he’s one of the middleaged hashira, i see sh!giyuu and think he’s one of the youngest of the not-friend-group.

makomo must be 22 or 23 now if she saved little tanj when she was a ‘remarkably young hashira’, and the other hashira’s ages are pretty easy to figure out since you’ve said tanjirou’s 21. inosuke is probably 21, genya zenitsu kanao and aoi 22. senjurou has no *explicitly* confirmed age, but he is said to be the same age as mui in a light novel, so i think it’s safe to say however old yuui and mui are, he’s roughly the same. the tokitou twins would be 20, and you say senjurou is younger than yuui, so he could be 19 or 20 too.

so yeah, i’ve figured out the hashira’s ages pretty easily. it’s the tsuguko’s / slayers ages i’d love to know! are you sticking with their canon age order, or messing them about a bit? i’d like to imagine gyoumei still being the oldest of them all, maybe 18, though if he was that old then there wouldn’t be many years between him and genya. like i said before, i love little giyuu too.. but you could very easily say that his final selection was when he and sabito were a little older, or he’s trained under tanjirou for a good few years, so would be old enough to stay in the middle-ish age range of the not-friend-group.

if you can’t tell, i absolutely love analysing character ages.

-

-

i also put a lot of thought into character ages! luckily for you, they’re one of the first things i wrote down! so here’s a big ass list:

so first off, you got basically all of the hashira right

kamado tanjirou - 21

makomo - 25

rengoku senjurou - 19

agatsuma zenitsu - 22

tsuyuri kanao - 22

kanzaki aoi - 22

hashibira inosuke - 21

tokitou yuuichirou - 20

shinazugawa genya - 22

i kept their age differences relatively canon, and used senjurou’s age in kimetsu gakuen where he’s a first year in junior high which would make him 12/13 ish in actual canon. aoi doesn’t have a canon age beyond “at least 16” so she’s just the same age as kanao and genya

(continuing below the cut because wow, this got a bit long)

the littler guys are a bit weirder because their age differences are a lot crazier. so i changed some stuff up and squished some age differences so the entire group is just kind around 15 (with the obvious exception of muichirou, who is the same age as his brother)

tomioka giyuu - 15

sabito - 15

kochou shinobu - 14

rengoku kyoujurou - 15

uzui tengen - 16

kanroji mitsuri - 14

tokitou muichirou - 20

shinazugawa sanemi - 15

himejima gyoumei - 17

iguro obanai - 15

kochou kanae - 15

kaigaku - 15

did you know that we don’t actually know how old giyuu was when he and sabito went to final selection? canonically, his sister died when he was thirteen, and that’s also when he started training with urokodaki, but we don’t know how long he trained for, if he went to final selection the same year he came to urokodaki. anyways, in this au, giyuu trains for two whole years with urokodaki before going to final selection

and here’s just . a list of a bunch of other characters, both major and minor

kamado nezuko - 20 (physically 12)

murata - 15

kumeno masachika - ??? somewhere in his 20s

ubuyashiki kagaya - (spoilers, i’ll talk about this eventually)

ubuyashiki kiriya - (spoilers, i’ll talk about this eventually)

nakahara sumi - 19

terauchi kiyo - 19

takada naho - 19

gotou - 16

suma - 15

makio - 15

hinatsuru - 16

haganezuka hotaru - 14

kotetsu - 19

yushirou - over 300

tamayo - ~30

tsugikuni yoriichi - over 300

if someone isn’t listed, i either do not care about their age or i do not know what to put. most of the demons are left alone because i didn’t want to actually go through the trouble of swapping them around. sorry

...no, I still disagree with you.

i've seen the argument. i've seen you and others restate that argument. multiple times. and it's still no more solid than the opposition. 🤷‍♀️

a factual point is that B has destroyed so much more than W ever has, or ever could.

otherwise. you have no right to label people as bigots for not adhering to your headcanon.

#the role that you're describing... is pretty clearly meant to be filled by... J himself. in canon. #W is an afterthought. at best. #and you can make him whatever he needs to be for your story. #but. you really are just setting yourself up for disappointment to beatify this guy who exists as scraps of scraps. #which i am fully aware is rich to say in JT fandom. #but if J is untapped potential that was meant for more before being derailed and repurposed and revisited #then the posthumous supporting cast of his backstory are less than the shadow of shapeless smoke. #BG's bio parents have more characterization than W! and they hardly exist most of the time! #the saint that you need W to be for your lovely story #isn't what others must see. #and shut the fuuuuuuuuck up for just the slightest implication people wouldn't love their abusers #abusers are some of the most beloved people on the planet #many tend to collect vulnerable lonely people desperate to love something. #we are biologically wired to love our parents. that love can overcome ridiculous amounts of absolute BS. #abused kids aren't freaks or outliers or non-entities for loving their abusers. they're normal and more common than many want to accept. #and people in poverty statistically struggle to leave shitty male-dominated households. that's fact not just stereotype. #My cowardly vague post is cowardly. #If you manage to find this post and be upset by it then congrats.
