#what exactly is the purpose of that

[echoesofadream]

What the fuck?????? im dying i just finished little women and im like thats weird, bc like, ive seen the movie (the winona ryder one). so im like something is wroooong. and also in a fic ive read there are excerpts from little women and they never came in this book. and i look at page amount it says it has 449 pages. my copy has 257????? im SO confused though because if this is supposed to be like easy to read version then why wasnt it easy... it really wasnt! i did pick this up from the teenager/children section which i found weird but then i looked inside it and it pretty advanced english to me at least. not too hard but definitely not for children! since its like old english too. This sucks lmaoo cause now i both wasted my time reading a stupid childrens book and spoiled the actual book itself! im not going to be reading that one now i dont think. im just so shocked and confused

#I THOUGHT BETH WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE? #AMY MARRIES LAURIE? #JO SOME OLD DUDE WHEN SHE TRAVELS TO LIKE FRANCE OR SOEMTHING AND IS A FAMOUS WRITER #ok so this may be an abridged version #what exactly is the purpose of that #fuck i kinda want to read the original now tho to see what ive missed.. #idk if this is just part one (and idk why part two is missing bc its just one book) that doesnt make sense it was missing those excerpts #that were about beth being sick #and i guess she can still be sick in part two bc she just got better not fully recovered but the quote is about her telling jo shes sick #and jo should already know this? unless its about her knowing that she is sick and going to die #i really hope this is part one and theres a part two for me to read #but idk...its still weird

Mr. Riordan, it is truly a pleasure getting to experience your second draft.

#seriously tho what an amazing thing for an author #to get to revisit your series years later #and get to make all the tweaks now that you know exactly where the story is going #to go back with your theme crystalized in your head and say 'ok now this time on purpose!' #kiddo and I are enjoying the PJO series immensely #love demigods #wish adhd was real #now excuse me while I add 9 billion tags #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo #rick riordan #percy jackson and the olympians #disney+ #pjo series #percy jackson tv show #does this need to be tagged as a spoiler? I don't feel like it does #the suggested hashtag being spelled wrong is just *chefs kiss* #love that for us #anyway if this needs another tag tell me

Damian summons a sparring partner.

He got grounded for excessive use of force, and decided that if Father and Grayson wouldn't spar with him, then he'd just summon a creature to do it for them.

What he got, after following the instructions on a heavily researched being of great destruction, was a floating dead hero built like a brick shithouse.

The Ghost had seemed shocked, before listening to Damian's plight and laughing nonstop for seven minutes.

Then he'd agreed to spar with Damian, on the grounds that "it'll be funny".

Or; Dan was told to do community service, and his summoning sigil was posted on the internet to those who would "need" it, at Clockwork's discretion. He got summoned by a tiny kid claiming to be Robin. A kid who wants to "spar". Sure. Dan'll teach him how to really fight, fuck whatever bullshit that no-killing pussy was trying to teach him. When he's done with the kid, the brat'll be able to take down a Super.

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #dan thinks he's being a bad influence #damian thinks he's becoming more lethal #dan's actually helping damian realize what moves would kill a normal person #and providing valuable feedback on exactly how much damian needs to tone it down #dan is learning to pull his punches #and how to start giving a shit again #clockwork did this on purpose

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

#now. how on earth do i begin to tag this. um. #link #loz #totk #totk spoilers #light dragon #dragon link #loz au #totk roleswap au #there . i'll add more if they come to me LOL #um i can talk about some of my insps i guess?? might make another post too #so mostly i just dont really like turning him into 'light dragon but male' and giving him slightly darker colours or something like that #this also obviously isnt exactly like the botw dragons either though and its a bit more of a mix of other creature concepts i enjoy #since everyone agrees he'd have a farosh horn i wanted to make him a kirin/unicorn :) which is why his tail looks like that #aside from the obvious eastern dragon insps and what ive picked and chosen from the botw dragons #and obviously this looks a lot like wolf link. thats on purpose #i wanted to give him some fierce deity design refs too but because this is so dark/earthy they didnt look very fitting #but honestly you could do a whole fierce deity dragon design on its own i think #okay lots of tags but IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. okay. let me have this. #my art

on another note i'm so glad they finally let sunday be a fucked up little guy its what he deserves <3

#“do you love your family more than yourself” ohhkay sunday. alright. lovee the self allusion here #im not even kidding i was so upset by this interaction that i went and started drawing a chart in the back of my nb to understand what #exactly was scaring me shitless about them #their dynamic is so good you guys #sunday 's mannerisms r purposed in a way that specifically dismantles aventurine's facade but then layering this with Pretense makes it #terrifiying #hsr #crow.txt #honkai star rail

I fully believe we haven't seen mk truly lose it on anyone yet--no not even when he fought azure or the curse--mk has always had control over what he's doing outside of accidental fumbles when hes first learning how to use his powers and I'd say he's almost more deadly when he's angry because so far being mad hasn't made him crazy or wild or out of control so far as I've observed being mad has only made him more focused

#knox rambles #monkie kid #lego monkie kid #mk monkie kid #IM JUST THINKING #angry mk? actually i think he knows exactly what hes doing he actively chooses to do what he does when hes mad #catch him upset or depressed then thats different #but mk angry? im convinced he could unleash his full power on someone and that flower in the ground next to them will remain untouched #who knows s 5 could prove me wrong but mk has some WILD control over himself when hes descructive on purpose it is pointed and controled #okay anyway i gotta hydrate GO HYDRATE #RHY I KNOW YOUVE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE I JUST WANTED TO ADD THE FOCUS THING #SOMETHUNG ABOUT MKS ANGER MAKING HIM SHARPER

i love that the hunger games is getting the appreciation it deserves but boi some of these takes are truly making me question ppl’s media literacy because ???

#starting with the fact that ppl are calling katniss boring?!??? talking about everyone and anyone BUT HER?! THE MAIN BITCH OF THE SHOW #the hunger games #hunger games #ppl saying the last book doesnt make sense?!? bc the rebels were going to get snow anyway so the death were pointless?!??? #WHICH EXCUSE ME ITS THE FUCKING POINT BUT ALSO KATNISS NEEDED TO GO TO THE CAPITAL BC THAT IS WHAT ULTIMATELY MAKES COIN EXACTLY LIKE SNOW #bc shes willing to sacrifice innocent ppl (katniss’s team) in order to kill katniss- for the bigger purpose (her being fairly ‘elected’) #thg #everlark #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark

This came to me in a dream

#narnia #basically the y axis represents what narrative purpose they serve (help the protags or get saved/taught a lesson) #and the x axis is genre (domestic beatrix potter or wild myth) #ymmv on exactly where different characters land in relation to each other but i think this is pretty darn accurate #pontifications and creations

something about people calling vrisrezi "toxic yuri" always puts me off. i understand the lack of words to really put their dynamic but like you know theyre in a relationship thats largely good for them right. they arent dating because "it sucks but it would be worse without each other" they genuinely really love each other a lot

#just as a baseline understanding here i am outright stating that their moiraillegance is a romantic relationship which includes kissing etc #if u cannot meet me on that level i dont think i really want to discuss vrisrezi with you #anyways its just so weird to me i dont know. i dont have a super great way of articulating it #they do Need each other they are codependent and its not necessarily healthy #but unhealthy does not equal toxic #they dont hurt each other on purpose they make each other so so happy and they do so much for each other and thats what makes them worse #because as much as they are universally destined to be together by the Laws of Paradox Space they are also universally doomed #and i mean straight up like. terezi is vriska's fp i feel like this is a given with the almost unambiguous bpd coding of vriska #and that isnt a type of relationship that vriska serket and terezi pyrope are exactly going to understand or manage well #but i also think that calling a favorite person relationship toxic by the nature of it regardless of who specifically is in it #is really gross? and harmful? and it doesnt make you sound cool when you talk about vrisrezi like that #ok wow this got really really out of hand. vrisrezi isnt really “toxic” if you read the comic thank you good night #vriska #terezi #my posts ::::)

So. Leo and Donnie grew up under Big Mama's care to eventually become the infamous Gemini in the Battle Nexus... And Mikey has been raised by Baron Draxum to fulfill the prophecy... Well, where's Raph?

(treasure of the shrine) (tireless devotee) (pledged martyr)

enter -> raphael, child of the foot clan

raph grew up under the protective eye of the foot, raised on endless tales of the clan's grand mission and the essential role he would play in it. his value was very clear from the moment he came into the clan's possession as an infant, given the inherent, powerful mystical energy already laying dormant inside him. though he cannot wield any magick himself, he often spends long hours meditating in the clan's shrine, bathing in mystic energy, awaiting the day he can don the dark armor and awaken their master shredder with his life force. as per clan tradition, he was never given a name and is instead officially referred to by his title-- oblation.

though he is just as devoted to his ninja training as any other clan recruit, his future role makes him far too valuable to be sent on missions or risk combat. in fact, he very rarely leaves the safety of shredder's shrine. this doesn't bother oblation, however. he is perfectly content in his role, and proud of what his anticipated sacrifice will achieve. his faith and trust in the clan are absolute and unwavering. however...

though small children are rarely recruited by the clan, there was one other. recruit calls oblation "obby." and obby calls her "cru." they met when obby was nine and cru was ten and have been inseparable ever since, training side by side. though obby is technically considered a higher rank than her, neither of them have achieved full clan membership yet. obby will not earn his place until he completes his one and only mission, and one that he will do entirely on his own-- bring forth the shredder.

(and recruit is loyal. recruit believes fully in the clan's divine mission. recruit will give whatever the foot asks of her. but as obby's promised sacrifice looms ever closer, she finds herself harboring more and more doubt.)

#the promised prize for moving gemini onward #hehehe #gemini au #tw suicide #suicide implication #thats not? really what it is exactly but tw anyway just in casesies #the expectation isnt that raph straight up does a kys #the expectation is that the shredder is gonna suck all his lifeforce out like hes a fckin juicebox and itll definitely suck at a minimum #will there be long term consequences? will he die? who knows #theyre getting him mad beefy and putting so much mystic mojo in him on purpose though #1. better snack for shreddy #2. better survival odds #friendly reminder draxum survived so #but you know anyway #self sacrifice #cults #rottmnt #rottmnt sep au #rottmnt raph #rise raph #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #hamato raphael #foot clan #rise cassandra #rise casey #rottmnt cassandra jones #rottmnt casey jones #rottmnt separated au #rottmnt au

i think what Jason wants (from Bruce at least) is to be loved transcendentally. he wants to be loved with earth shattering intensity, the kind that'll raze the world to the ground when lost and inspire greatness when present. Jason wants to mean something and to matter more than anything except for (maybe) another (worthy) human. Jason wants to be shown love in the way that he experiences love. but that kind of exclusive focus is impossible when your dad is Batman.

#Jason is the pathos of the batfam #Dick is also more pathos than logos but like he also didn't die so #and yes i'm mangling i'm doing it on purpose #Jay would die in a heartbeat for his family #and probably do any number of awful things #and what he wants is reciprocity #I see his as very much the kind to not ask anything of anyone that he isn't willing to do himself #but also expects others to live up to his morals #or standards or however #so he's not exactly fair but not entirely unfair either #idk there's a ton of posts right now on Jason's ideas about love and I also have a ton of thoughts myself #the dude is fucking intense #and speakign from experience #it's fuckign hard when that kind of intensity is one sided #even when you know it's unfair to expect it of the other party #jason todd #batfam

imo everyone who insists that saikis life was perfect and he was a spoiled brat complaining about nothing are just purposefully ignoring and misinterpreting the whole manga simply because they like other characters better and want to make up scenarios to make their fav seem like a precious little victim in every situation

its hard to explain but i see it happen a lot with specifically people who have dedicated accounts for other characters and constantly misattribute every issue to "saikis such a baby, my character has it way worse!" "saiki hurt my babys feelings once so i hate him!" "saikis such a spoiled brat, my baby has a way shittier life and never complains about it!" "saiki hurt my poor precious fav once so hes an abusive monster!"

and said "shittier life" that they "never complain" about is either the persons headcanons (literally made up) or... the character DOES complain about it and the person takes those words at FACE VALUE but ignores everything else, including things that actually HAPPEN right in front of our eyes

#(this is just an opinion and anyone can do whatever they want) #people can feel however they want about saiki #but im just saying... purposely making everything into something it just isnt makes you look so... odd #like.. why? #why cant you just say you dont like him and move on? #instead of trying to make up a bunch of reasons why he sucks and his fans are weird #just chill #fandom doesnt need to be like that #sorry i feel like i start a new controversy every few days #dont offhandedly bully me for this guys just reply if you disagree #i like to think that my posts will reach nobody but like two moots and nothing matters and nobody cares #but i always get proved wrong #sho shad #anyway this is exactly what twitter users do with mafuyu and kanade which is so funny to me #they make kanade out to be an evil manipulator with a perfect life so that they can have their fake abuse scenarios and make mafuyu a victi #WHICH DOESNT MAKE SENSE CUZ MAFUYUS MOM IS RIGHT THERE? MAFUYU IS ALREADY AN ABUSE VICTIM #its crazy. fandoms are crazy. #hoping literally any of this is phrased correctly #my brain is jello i cant do this #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #meows post #meownalysis #<- not sure if this counts as that but im adding it because i want to come back to this

granby + iskierka + keynes

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #iskierka #john granby #doctor keynes #<- I do not know if keynes ever gets a first name so This Shall Do for tagging purposes for the present moment #speaking of which. my logic here is that granby is always getting whopped upside the head and stabbed and shot and dropped from high places #and therefore I think he should maybe cultivate his relationship with his crew's surgeon. because he is going to Need to. #keynes now. My Friend Keynes. I reallyreally would like to know More About Him and how exactly someone ends up as an aerial corps SURGEON #what is UP with this man I would like to KNOW about him #I would like to write fic even maybe. Hello Sir. Your Backstory? #designwise he ended up looking like patrick gallagher who you may be aware of for his role as awkward davies masterandcommander #which was not entirely intentional but I did end up leaning into it as I went on with the drawing. #he looks a lot like many people's version of tharkay here... I should make an effort for distinguishing them by drawing More Tharkays. #either way. keynes and gong su my favorite tem characters I don't really see anyone drawing. my underappreciated blorbos... #(this is maybe because I'm only on book 3 but) keynes is certainly on page a deal more than certain fellows I could name #anyWay. we are slowly creeping up to drawing BigLarge Iskierka but not all the way there yet.
