#they're so different

[khalliys]

Critical Role is just such a warm and wonderful gift for wlw representation.

We have the two who saw each other from opposite ends of a bumpy broken road, who braved rain and thunderstorms and faced obstacles and hurdles but were always on track towards each other - even when they didn't know they were, even when they couldn't see they were - until the rain got lighter and they started walking with purpose. And then they finally reached each other in the middle, embraced and never let go.

And we have the two who started on a bumpy broken road together, who are braving red sand storms and go over obstacles and hurdles side by side and where at some point intertwining each others hands for support and comfort - so that they always know they're still walking together, even when they can't see and there's too much sand in their eyes - and then never letting go was just the right descision to make.

#this is a positivity post #please don't come here to argue about which ship is better #they're so different #and therefore offer different meanings #different ways to relate #and a different catharsis #to every individual who's watching #and that in itself is meaningful and amazing #we all enjoy different things #and cr has something to relate to #for so many different queer experiences at this point #we should celebrate that! #critical role #imodna #beauyasha #wlw #cr3 #cr2 #cr spoilers

Anakin and Obi Wan are tragic figures in a sweeping, operatic, mythological way. Cassian is tragic in a gritty, all too real way. 

For Anakin and Obi Wan, it’s fitting that they should come to a point of a grand battle and have dramatic final words for each other. For Cassian, it’s fitting that he doesn’t make it home in time to see his mother one last time, that she dies before he even knew she was sick, and without knowing about the change he’d undergone. 

The mythic nature of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, means it feels as if he’s fighting against fate and prophecy. The realism of Andor, means Cassian’s tragedy is a battle of wills within a corrupt system. 

#star wars #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #cassian andor #andor #andor spoilers #there's a really fascinating and really stark difference in genre between the two and i'm captivated by it #they're so different #and allowing these two different forms of star wars to coexist creates a cool mosaic

thinking about writing a witch Jyn AU for Halloween but I can’t decide which idea I like better so I’m taking votes

1. Practical Magic inspired. Jyn tries to get revenge on Krennic, accidentally kills him instead. Cassian is the private detective hired by his family to look into his death (because I didn't want to make him a cop). He can tell right away that Jyn's hiding something, but he doesn't expect to fall for her. Meanwhile, Jyn has sworn off love because her bloodline has long been believed to be cursed, and their partners tend to die young. Naturally, she ends up falling for Cassian anyway, but she's not sure what he'll do if he finds out she really killed Krennic. On top of it all, Krennic's ghost might be haunting her... 

 2. Much more gothic, horror vibes. Jyn and Bodhi are roommates but their lease is up next month, so when Bodhi's distant uncle dies and he inherits his house in a quiet little town, it's the perfect opportunity to move. Jyn's a witch who's been actively trying to repress and ignore her powers because magic's essentially what killed her parents, but when she meets Cassian who runs a small antique shop in town, she can't ignore the way he's always followed around by the ghost of a young woman who looks a lot like him. On top of it all, the townspeople are a little too nice in a way that's kind of creepy, and Jyn can't help feeling like they're all harboring a dark secret. The more time passes, the more she feels like something's wrong with this town...

Rewatching TKA LA Ep because why not?

YuHuang interaction was really entertaining. No matter how much I rewatch, it never got boring.

{{ now seeing as Jasmine is getting dolled up, naturally the Pokemon with her also deserve a bit of the star treatment! A little of that razzle dazzle — as a treat. }}

Since Edie mainly minds her business at the cottage, Jas thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take the lil lady on a trip! Edie has such a sweet temperament, and loves events like weddings or baby showers, so it was kind of a necessity she tag along.

She wants to be like her mama, so a teal hat is a must (keeping it on brand). Edie also rocks a cute lacy collar and a bedazzled sash around her waist, repurposed as a skirt (she’s smol): 

What kind of person would Jasmine be to not bring the twins? Besides both getting a good polish, they’d also have matching bowties (because, honestly, how would you dress a Magnemite). Tilo wanted their bow a tad more blue, to stand apart.

don't panic buy games because of the eshop shutdown!!!! the memes are not lying It is genuinely very easy to hack your 3ds!!! please do it!!!!

3ds.hacks.guide

(don't follow video guides they are very often outdated and it's easier to make mistakes that way. this guide is very detailed with step by step instructions and they even have a support server in the event you have any trouble! i understand it might seem intimidating but risks of bricking or banning are very minimal at this point you will be glad you did it)

#bri talks #the only tools you'll need is a computer and a way to read mini sd cards #if you have the New Nintendo 3DS XL model you're also gonna need a certain screwdriver to open the back plate #because for some reason ninty put it there #any other model has easy sd card access so if you have a regular 3ds/xl/any 2ds model you don't need that #i have NO idea why they put it there it's not like they're even against you using a different sd card #there's instructions to change it on nintendo support... like...

came back wrong trope but the character knows that they came back wrong. they’re so acutely aware of how different they are now from how they were before that it drives them fucking insane. they’re stuck trying to return to somebody that’s long dead. they can never be the person they once were. everybody around them knows it. deep down, they know it too, but they’re trapped in a cycle of their own making. of trying to revive someone that no longer exists.

#i am just obsessed w the idea of someone being revived that so badly wants to be the person they used to be but that person is dead. #they're dead and gone and now all that is left is the person they are now who is fucked up from being revived !!!! #it drives them to madness <3 #also whenever i think of the came back wrong trope i think of jason todd #classic came back wrong (or different at least) trope #all.right

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw or a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

#the way some people (usually lestat fans lol) talk about louis being an unreliable narrator has frustrated me #i still insist louis' unreliableness is mostly subtle (passing quickly over things he doesn't want to think about #presenting things that factually happened in a way he can build a story that makes sense to him #not knowing what lestat is thinking and feeling so interpreting him differently than lestat himself probably would) #rather than he's telling something that didn't really happen or is under armand's mind control or something #like for example i think it's been made very clear all the abuse really happened they're not gonna suddenly pull the rug from under it #if anything i feel lestat is going to turn out to be even worse than louis perceived him when we hear people who are not in love w him lol #keanu.txt

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.

#I finished guards guards just yesterday and I forgot that vimes and wonse were set up to be mirror images #both boys from the shades of very different natures; who made good (ish) in wildly different ways #also it's interesting reading this books from an adult perspective; my mind isn't blown that these books exist #anymore; plus I've read so many good books since #and they're not perfectly constructed novels! especially these early books; #there are plenty of spots where I can feel the narrative get thin; where there's more handwaving than I remember #but each book IS better and tighter; the jokes are funnier and the irony sharpens; the footnotes are better utilized #the characters are getting more interesting and complicated as opposed to set-ups for jokes. #it's an illustration of someone getting better at their chosen field and that in itself is more impressive than I was anticipating. #discworld

"Marcille hates all of Laios' freak traits but loves them in Falin" is honestly a really good joke but... you guys do know it's a joke right?

It's such a funny one I honestly find it impossible to get mad at even when people mistake it for an actual truth about the characters but JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR

THIS is how marcille reacts when Falin is predictably just as enthusiastic about eating monsters as her brother was.

That is not the face of a woman who thinks this trait is lovely and endearing as long as it's exhibited by the girl she loves. That is the face of a woman who is taking 7d8 psychic damage and yet knows deep in her heart she won't like Falin any less for it.

The way young Marcille reacts to Falin eating berries Marcille can't recognize but Falin knows are safe is pretty similar to how she reacts to eating monsters years later, albeit with more fear than disgust. The difference in her relationships with Laios and Falin isn't just that she's attracted to Falin, it's because the Touden siblings, while similar, are in fact different people. Not just genderswaps of each other.

Also, I think you all already know this, but just to say it: she doesn't actually hate Laios for any of his freak tendencies either. He's one of her best friends. She's just a lot quicker to be outwardly exasperated with him while she's quieter about it with Falin.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #laios touden #marcille donato #dungeon meshi meta #again I cannot be mad at fanon jokes when they're actually funny #and also marcille absolutely DOES have different standards for the touden siblings #i'd argue the way she more easily argue with laios than falin is a) because falin is better at EXPLAINING her autistic swag #so after the initial freakout marcille can calm down. laios does NOT know how to do this #and b) because she DOES idealize falin. And so she takes this stuff in a 'well not even my beautiful angel darling can be perfect' way #though in the end their autistic swag is also a big part of what she appreciates in both of them #in different ways as i said but the oddities are part of why she's close with both of them!! that doesn't change the exasperation though!

Grogu likes Din’s mustache.

So I’m hella excited over the third season coming I just pray we get some more of Din’s feelings about his past, so I finally drew this little thing I’ve been thinking about for a while ;v;

I firmly believe wearing a helmet for your whole life is no reason to not style yourself like you want, so let Din have a mustache if he wants™!, but also I like to think he looks at himself on the mirror and can’t help but think of his dad :’) so he keeps the mustache.

Also pls let Din adopt Grogu and show him his face when they’re alone!!!!

#the mandalorian #star wars #grogu #din djarin #clan of two #arts #aq vetina #the most fun aside drawing Pedro's beautiful face was looking at the actor who played his dad #they're so alike but also different I loved drawing him ;; #I like to think Din just does his everyday stuff with Grogu just sitting on his chest #I love them so much i can't want to have them back aaaaaa #pedro pascal #themandaloriandaily
