Dead Plate x Wraith: the Oblivion

#the context is that wraiths have a shadow personality. and I made a whole wraith character sheet for Manon #but every wraith has a essentially; a split personality #and the shadow works as their opposite #I made her shadow obsession #to mirror what killed her #but in turn she’s obsessed with Vincent being killed and in love with Rody #while the wraith Manon #our Manon #desperately wants to let go and move on but the shadow is vengeful and angry and not letting her #anyways #if anyone knows ab World of Darkness then #Vincent is a toreador and Rody is a homid bone gnawer ahroun #dead plate #dead plate manon #manon vacher #marianne vacher #wraith the oblivion #references a ttrpg that ended when I was 2 years old

love thinking kipperlilly spends her afterlife looking for lucy in a familiar forest

#not art #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #like. does she have a mean of knowing lucy and yolanda got sent to cassandra's domain to hang out for a bit #kipperlilly's isolation means so much to me. she is punished for everything she's done she just doesn't pick up on it #until the moment she dies! one more funky thing that mirrors riz in which he's actively tried to cultivate a community and denied it #until the bad kids. while kipperlilly does not want or care about a community she just wants someone who validates her #but she does Need a community so she latches onto the person she lets closer to her to fulfill her emotional needs #she took the ritual willingly so this might genuinely be her first death. probably terrifying #probably not even enough bandwidth to feel mortified. maybe immediately seeking something comforting out of instinct alone #lmao honestly thinking too much abt fantasy high afterlifes gives me a headache And a visceral fear #Im not religious but I grew up in a culture with a dominantly buddhist/taoist cosmology its Scary that u just go to A Place after u die!! #and then ur still urself!!! thats scary to me what do u mean u stay like that forever. thats fucked #but yeah I think this influences how I see kipperlilly turn out a little bit. in a sense I think of her as being a ghost now #yknow. trying to solve something from life so she can move on and. stop living this life etc #man the reveal that lucy took being killed pretty seriously and is like yeah the others are decent and even sweet #and probably was just trying to hold her party together and do what she thinks is moral by hearing kipperlilly out #lol lmao etc. gods I gotta wonder how kipperlilly's mindset handled jawbones' help #it really is damn tragic tho. I stand by what I said folks like this will complain and be nasty to be around #but they dont have enough desire to inconvenience themselves to off the bat do something abt what they find unfair or whatever #its when theyre handed the seemingly very easy means to be right that they'll start being dangerous #its horribly tragic that the supposed metaplayer and the self-perceived mastermind turned out to ultimately be just an useful idiot #yknow what. I think personally in my heart kipperlilly moves on from her afterlife the moment she says sorry #doesnt even have to be to lucy but that's probably gonna be who received it #ah.... teenage rebellion. teenage gamejacking

Bob in female fight club au. Thoughts

Probably named Marge

Rather than doing a direct inversion (ie making the character the exact opposite, much tits -> no tits, etc) I think sort of an analogue would work better riffing off the motherly role Bob has, in combination with the group being for uterine cancer/ovarian cancer

The women come together, and they cry, cry, cry, over lost husbands, who left them because they got cancer, because overwhelmingly, men leave if their wife gets cancer, over lost relationships with children, who stayed but resent them, over lost Motherhood, that thing you were told was your worth but now you are told you're shit. Remaining Women Together. Despite. Despite despite despite.

What is it, about purposes. Want to see misery, see women fed their own physical oppression as lost salvation.

Marge, whatever her name is, her husband divorced her, left her with the kids and medical bills stacked as high as she is tall. She is thankful she still has her kids, it makes her feel like she's still worth something. She's had to try and get back into the workforce. No one wants to hire dear former stay at home mother Marge. She shows you her kids in her wallet in her purse and there are no pictures of her. There's a picture of her old husband, which she keeps to show her kids if they ask. They're old enough to go to school now, which is good, because it gives her more time to work. Life is hard, but she's doing her best.

Marge, who is on hormone therapy so she doesn't get those "side effects" she's heard about from other total hysterectomy patients, the future of early dementia and degeneration and horror. Who does pelvic floor exercises in hopes it will minimise the fallout of the surgery. Who carefully rips every hair out of her upper lip and chin because even if it would be normal for a woman, a woman whose gone through menopause, a woman at all — she knows, it's probably the estrogen tipping back over into testosterone, and she can't handle any more losses. She compensates. They all do.

The support group is her Me Time. It is the single hour plus half hour commute she can afford once a week for herself. So she gets here, and she cries, cries, cries, and the others cry with her, all over how their lives have fallen apart since they got ovarian cancer, got breast cancer, and their lives derailed because they can't be proper women anymore.

They cry in their waterproof makeup. Another product to promise womanhood. Identify yourself via consumption. Identify yourself by covering yourself up.

And when she finds fight club. When she finds something that says, jesus fuck. You are more than your children. You are more than your ability to have kids. You aren't a failed woman, that's a sack of shit you've been sold wholesale. When she finds something that promises her she will grow, achieve personhood, not because she was the ultimate martyr mother, not because she played the game of human or woman, but because it promises a freedom from all that, identification and repulsion of such sickening chains. When she stops worrying about her slightly deepened voice, and works to keep her dose even keel for her health, to avoid the toxic highs of accidentally juicing, rather than the lesser effects of a black lip hair or two. When she has a photo, not of herself in her wallet, but of the things she makes with other women from fight club, of the one view of the sunset from that one parking lot that she always thought was wonderful, when she has things in her wallet for her and her enjoyment. When she has corded muscle and a built up spine, when she sits her kids down and explains why they only see dad one weekend every other month, all the fun holidays, because dad decided staying with her through cancer was too hard even when she stayed with him through four lost jobs pissed away in alcohol and lottery tickets.

And Marge, who gets shot by the police on a regulation chill-and-drill assignment for Project Mayhem. Whose obituary in the newspaper talks about the children she left behind, how she battled cancer and kept caring for them, how she was such a strong mother, whose kids would now be shipped off to their grieving father who is so, so brave and stunning for standing up and taking care of the kids he made and dropped as soon as his live-in servant had a few issues. Her name is Marge Paulson, and she was forty-eight years old. She was a person. She will be remembered in the annals of Project Mayhem, lest what little there was of her be stolen from the world. She was killed by Project Mayhem, but they're the only ones who will remember Marge Paulson.

#fight club #female fight club au #like. it's about how the male castration being the worst thing that could happen to a man as per gendered ideals gets reflected here. #being very clear; the motherhood focus should seem as immensely disturbing and disproportionate. if not much more tbh. as how the guys are #because like. yeah the male focus on balls is immense but the pressure to consider your entire worth and personhood and status as a being a #your reproductive capacity is Insane for women. and i think that would be uhhh highly relevant in female fight club #both as the logical mirror to the castration/emasculation thing #and also because it's inextricable from any sort of feminism demanding a backbone #yadda yadda yadda #the end is also interesting #the death and the name thing just cant quite be the same #its still horrifying because the Project did kill her #but god. so many women die and no one fucking remembers them #just what they did as mothers or servants #so. her name is marge paulson. would be important. #this is very specific and dear 2 me. #its not about hating the kids or saying fuck them or anything either #its just. shes a person. womanhood is not some step below (man) personhood

roger who's nickname for buggy was "junebug" cause they found him in june and his hair is the same color.... buggy who hates it at first until he's climbing into his captain's bed at night bc of a nightmare and his captain says ever so softly, "oh junebug, c'mere"..... the nickname getting adopted by everyone on the crew until nobody calls him buggy anymore..... them meeting up with thr whitebeard pirates and getting irrationally jealous when the whitebeards use the nickname bc that's their nickname and who the fuck do these people think they are getting so close to their junebug.... rouge who has never met buggy calling him junebug in her head.... roger whose last words to buggy that fateful day before loguetown was "you shine like the sun, junebug. never stop"..... buggy who waits for years after the execution for a call from one of his former crew members, hoping every time the den-den one day it'll be rayleigh or seagull or gaban or sunbell on the other side with a familiar "hey junebug", except no one ever calls and the years go by and buggy slowly learns to stop waits, and gives on being the roger's junebug and learns how to be buggy the clown, buggy the genius jester, buggy the immortal, everything and anything other than junebug

#the thing about buggy is that he is always loved but never enough yknow? #and he'll never be his dad's junebug again and it kills him some days #he'll never argue with shanks again and have rayleigh come and break them apart with a 'junebug! shanks! enough you're both dumbasses' #toki-neesan will never let him curl up with momo and hiyori again #those days are over and yet somedays he looks in the mirror and he is still 14 wtching his captain's head hit the ground with a splat #he is still 12 watching his dad walk away from them and knowing in his heart that this was the end #he is still 8 and climbing onto his new home and when his captain asks for his name he says 'buggy sir' and capt laughs and says #'what an ordinary name for a boy like you!' as shanks look ready to well shank capt for the perceived slight against buggy #he is still 8 and sitting on captain's shoulders as his dad says 'do you see how beautiful she is junebug? you carry her with you' #he'll never be junebug again but by god he wants it so badly he thinks he'll die from the ache of it #(junebug is dead and has been dead for a long time but smtimes when he sits by shanks and they're sharing a drink as they carefully tiptoe #around certain topics; shanks'll just Look at him and for one soft gut-wrenching moment junebug is alive again #and then the moment passes and they're back to being buggy and shanks: two broken men desperately trying to make sense of the cards #gave them) #op buggy #buggy the clown #buggy one piece #gol d. roger #roger pirates #anyway how y'all doin?

hey guys? hey guyss?

#was that thing with the mirror ever elaborated on or did I just miss it #like I mostly understand the baron thing but what happened to gorgug after he touched that fucking mirror??? #I have a fucking inkling that it had something to do with whatever the red fractals are #or maybe the dead god? #idk I just think about the implications that Lucy might have been killed by her party mates #and with the stress tokens history might be at risk of repeating itself with the bad kids? #whether the other rat grinders went into a rage and killed lucy or if lucy went into a rage and they killed her in self defense #idk man gorgug is ONE stress token away from... ????

rita skeeter & womanhood

anyone else ever think about rita skeeters fucked up relationship with femininity and womanhood as if it’s a costume she wears but it just doesn’t fit quite right :/

#she wants. so much #she just! wants! #she wants to be desired and she wants respect and she wants to be beautiful and lovely #but shes awful and nasty and gross #she has to keep a reminder on her bathroom mirror to remind herself to brush her teeth #she cant shave her legs without cutting herself #she wears fancy clothes but it’s all stolen (from stores & exes & lovers) #or she buys them secondhand but it’s all from like 5 seasons ago #she doesn’t removed her makeup before bed and when the next day she just fills it back in and its a mess #she wears the costume of a sophisticated woman but it just never looks right!!!!! #she has to be successful its what she was made for but she was born a fucking woman (disadvantage!) #so she tries her fucking hardest to imitate a woman!!!!!!!!! #she’s playing by the rules!!!!!!!! has to do what she can with what she was given!!!!!!!!! #and what she was given is a womans body!!!!!! #she’s nasty and dusgusting and greedy and violent. but she cant let any of that show #she was born to be famous and she was born with a womans body. she HAS to follow the rules and shes sooo fucking bad at it #rita skeeter is just. such a dyke to me #her relationship with femininity and womanhood beng so fucked up but also desperately yearning to be treated like a lady #like something beautiul and fragile #<— but the thought of a man treating her that way makes her want to kill herself #dyke dyke dyke dyke. #rita skeeter #jen’s moodboards

#thinking about how that scene mirrors the red-and-yellow colouring at the boat party #izombie #liv moore #blaine debeers #literally her hesitation there is so sexy. It really feels like she had a long dark moment of 'if Major is really dead - what's the point?' #I don't think she would ever do it because there are so many other people she cares about. But it is still extremely happy place for me. #plus I really don't think that this was the reason why Liv didn't go for the lethal shot immediately. #I don't think she was in that state of mind to be calculating (she didn't even consider this issue when she was much clerarer) #so I don't think she thought of this issue just after the fake hostage exchange that Blaine set up #I think the reason why she shot him in the side and hesitated is bc she still had hope that Major was alive #(after all she states that he killed Lowell. For Major she -asks-. So i think she stll had hopes of him being alive and finding him)

trying to keep all my clemviminnie thoughts contained until i get to episode 3 but

its hard

#telltale was CRAZY for this btw!! the drama of it all ALWAYS gets me #violet blaming herself for her gf/minnies death. clem helps her open up again. starts dating clem. finds out minnie is still alive? #saved violet telling clem she has nothing to worry about and she'll fight minnie if she has to to keep clem and her loved ones safe #kidnapped violet getting brain poisoned by minnie into turning against clem after feeling betrayed and abandoned by her #saved vi shooting minnie to save clem!!!!!!!!! but cant leave minnie behind because she already left her once and she cant do it again #vi begging minnie to stop trying to fucking kill them but shes too far gone. the 3 of them fight to the DEATH!!! #now add all that to the parallels and dark mirrors going on between clem and minnie in the A plot like the tension is off the charts #plus the parallels you can draw between clem and vi but those are less “you are my dark mirror” and more “we are the same i understand you” #HOW are the girlies not still talking about this #you know what i partially blame myself i dont talk about it enough either. i forget how many things ive left in my wips folder sometimes #UGH its all so good violets route just ads so much Flavor to the clem/minnie plotline its Delicious i couldnt imagine it Not being there #i neeeeeeeed to draw them fighting and being gay and maybe bloody even #if u cant tell i really want to get back to that wip i posted a few weeks ago but im Trying to Restrain Myself #i love forcing myself to take things slow sometimes really makes the brain shift into overdrive #twdg #violentine #it speaks

I know that thematically speaking, Miri is going to go back to Rei and Kazuki. The point of the entire show is found family. But episode 10 SHATTERED my heart into a million pieces and I started crying.

And this is more incentive for Rei to kill his dad. This man is the reason why Miri had to leave, he basically took their daughter from them. Neither Kazuki or Rei are going to just roll over and let that happen. Maybe Rei would have, before Miri, but she changed him. He's going to have the strength to stand up to his dad, because to be loved is to be changed.

#he even tells her that she changed him. this ep is SO mirroring ep 1 with the kitten #because Rei didn't put up a fight when Kazuki told him they couldn't keep it. he let Kazuki take it away‚ and give it to someone else. #but Miri has changed Rei. and this isn't just a stray kitten he found outside‚ this is his DAUGHTER that was taken from him. #Kyu-chan had the right idea‚ doing what he thought would keep Miri safe. but he is TRULY underestimating how much Rei and Kazuki love Miri #he seems to think that they were just playing family‚ and that everything will to back to normal when Miri is gone #but it won't be. they will never be truly happy without Miri. missions aren't going to suddenly be perfect! they just lost their daughter! #and it's because of this ultimatum‚ ''give up your daughter and be miserable‚ or keep her and she dies'' #that i truly think that Rei is going to kill his father. he's not going to accept this ultimatum‚ because he has changed #buddy daddies #buddy daddies 10 #suwa rei #rei suwa #kurusu kazuki #kazuki kurusu #kazurei #reikazu #a.txt

Okay, so. Something that's bothered me since learning about Ryoko is the eye color difference. Ryoko's eyes are red; Junko's eyes are blue.

One of them is clearly wearing contacts. But who?

The automatic assumption is Junko. Because let's be real, Ryoko would forget to wear whatever contacts Matsuda gave her - and then forget that she WAS wearing them, which wouldn't be great.

Wearing contacts is also an aspect of being a gyaru, so it would make sense for Junko to be wearing them.

But! What's more fun is this!

I debated whether Junko's true eye color should at all be related to Mukuro's. Mukuro's eye color, depending on image, is either gray or the same blue-grey as Junko's, even without contacts. As twins, I thought it would be cool if their eye colors matched. Even if they are fraternal twins.

However.

Mukuro and Junko both fall into the Red Oni, Blue Oni trope, Junko as red and Mukuro as blue. So it would make sense for Junko's natural eye color to reflect that in the same way that Mukuro's does.

So Junko is wearing contacts. The assumption holds. Why does this matter?

Because of all the colors she could choose for the eyes of her Junko Enoshima persona, she stole her sister's.

That's what matters.

#musings #danganronpa #junko enoshima #mukuro ikusaba #bandit brainstorms #so that even when she killed mukuro #whenever she looked in a mirror she would still see her sister's eyes staring right back out at her #and the idea that fuyuhiko with junko's eye - that it could change to red #would be fun #(don't think that's what would actually happen though #and would also depend highly on if it was a full eye transplant or just a cornea transplant) #((this probably comes up in dr3 #i should wait until then to post this #nah))

i'm gonna be honest, i actually really hate the webtoon format for the singular reason that it's possible and even common to be unable to fit a single panel onto one screen. like i understand the design philosophy of making it easily phone-scrollable but it still sucks and takes away from the often-times excellent art.

#reading sunset phoenix and being unable to see the entirety of these beautiful butch mobster women at once is monstrous #women so beautiful your phone is unable to comprehend them in their entirety #and you can only perceive a small percentage of them at a time #like gazing at medusa through a mirror except she's wearing an unbuttoned collared shirt over a tank top #and also her snake hair is extremely short #how would that work for medusa? like would it just be little snake heads? #does she cut her hair? does that kill the snakes? or do they simply grow back like earthworms or lizard limbs #and every time she cuts her hair a bunch of venomous snakes start roaming around. that would be cool i think #what was I talking about again? #right the art is actually a lot better than 'western-style' comics a lot of the time because singular panels are so much larger! #but you can't fucking see them because you can only fit 1/4th of the main character's head on screen!!!

(since it’s apparently the week of tenlark i feel like this is also a fun time to mention i once plotted out a huge chunk of the final battle in the third film, including such exciting scenes as Tenar leading a mid-battle pursuit of The Bad Guy who tries to escape through the castle gates, Lark appearing out of nowhere in the distance and shooting the ropes of the portcullis to cut him off so Tenar can defeat him, an enemy sorcerer seeing this and sending a fireball or something to where Lark is posted hundreds of feet away, and Tenar having to choke down the fear that Lark might have just died for her so that she can focus and actually win this war)

#(lark doesn't die obviously) #(she gets blasted out of the tower she's in and lands winded in the rubble) #(where an enemy soldier tries to kill her while she's stunned) #(but moss throws a dagger at him and stops him just in time) #(and it totally mirrors the moment lark saved moss's life when they met in the first film) #(anyway someone stop me i told myself i was gonna write thriving in the apocalypse tonight) #erathia #tenlark #dear god what is my life #i love everything

need xiao and kujou sara to meet asap btw. 

- golden winged peng vs winged tengu (whose wings, incidentally, were damaged when she received her vision...)

- both dedicate their lives to their archons

- separated from the society (mortals, Inazuman troops/Tengou Commission) they were brought up in because of certain factors (karma, status as adopted child and tengu)

perhaps they’d understand each other. maybe they’d know what it’s like—an existence as a god’s right hand, and everything it entails. their eyes meet, gold on gold; they know: this person might only understand half of me but that's half more than anyone else. what’s it like to serve a god so deeply—what do you sacrifice and how does it remake you? sara believes that her vision was granted by the raiden shogun, saving her, and thus dedicates herself to carrying out the will of thunder across the land. xiao receives his new name from morax, and in return, agrees to protect liyue for however long it will need. sara’s wings, injured, as she falls off the mountain—alatus, lacking his golden wings, the bloodhound of that unknown god.

#theyre also really attached to rex lapis/raiden shogun merch btw xiao definitely has enough dragon plushies to match sara's collection of St #Statues of Her Excellency，the Almighty Narukami Ogosho， God of Thunder #anyways what i'm saying is that they should talk and maybe sort out their traumas bc they can see themselves in the other person #btw theyre also both cold/indifferent on the outside but gentle/passionate on the inside. i love characters who are mirrors #also the diff between x and ks is that liyue didn't have shitty archon q writing am i right or am i right #that was a half joke but god... unsure how i feel about sara's characterization wrt agency and what went down in inazuma in general rip #xiao #kujou sara #genshin impact #teyvat thoughts #genshin xiao #sara is one of the three 4* i still don't have so i didn't know she got fucking scolded for just playing w the soldiers as a kid until i sea #searched it up and #bro what the fuck. what the fuck. kujou takayuki im going to kill you

AND WE KILL EACH OTHER IN EVERY LIFE

#asphodel grace #ebony damlonyn #my characters #they r sooooo in love yall #Nywaes some context: #Asphodel (tielfing) killed Ebony (human) in her original story. Big major part of her backstory that traumatized her for 4evr #we love some girl drama #Ebony was never meant to become a player character. Only a bg character #HOWEVER- i needed a character to play that i wasn't recycling from games previous and thought: what if i play this dead girl from my show #So i made her glorious and had her backstory mirror asphodels in that she kills her before the game starts. #Unbeknownst to me was the fact that doing so would give her scarily similar in-game events and parallels to Asphodels original storyline. : #dnd art #digital illustration #omens art #digital art

i find it so funny that terra firma p.2 essentially goes like this:

mirror!georgiou being held at gunpoint by mirror!michael: okay but what if i tried gentle parenting. you can still make a choice. we can sort things out

mirror!michael: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???

#also mirror!georgiou: proceeds to kill micheal after she told her that it was all her fault #like i know that they wanted to frame it as if georgiou kills her while protecting herself #but i just don't see it this way. she immediately got angry at the “you made me” comment #and instantly reached for her sword #oh i have so much to say about these episodes actually #like. georgiou's understanding of “making things better” still included putting her daughter into a damn agoniser #the way mirror!michael went ??? at georgiou trying to be gentle with her is so sad #what the fuck did she make this girl go through #star trek discovery #philippa georgiou #mirror michael burnham #michael burnham

not to be a homosexual on main but the early seasons supernatural could have been improved 110% by switching John and Mary's roles within the narrative. let's fridge the loving husband and father for once and let the wife and mother spiral down a character devolvement that makes her hellbent on nothing but revenging her lost love, estranging & fucking up her young sons in the process. that would have been soooo hot and sexy. also consider a weathered middle aged woman carrying so many weapons. I would let her stake my heart no questions asked. no my mommy issues do not play into this in any way

#also mary WAS actually a hunter. what if she had to reenter that life after the paranormal death of her husband #it would mirror sam's story so well too...... he only went back to hunting because his girlfriend was killed..... #they should have consulted just a single deranged lesbian before writing that script #we could have had it all........ #rayrambles
