someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

#across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #break from my regularly scheduled trigun posting for spider posting #i'm actually kinda eh on the idea of the canon and police chiefs dying it is not my favorite plot point #but like any sane person i love spiderverse so #actually still think i like the first one more but wroaw much to think about #spiderverse #atsv #.lieii #i only watched the movie once so hopefully this is all accurate #i feel like this is all really obvious my point was like #pavitr being an example of a spiderperson who is still successful without going through all these awful things #and you think despite all this stuff about the multiverse how does he feel about the chief being saved? hes probably rly grateful right? #i mean maybe something terrible will happen to him in the next movie but. yk what im saying #.lieii txt

Human Wizard, Lacuna.

ever make a standby DnD character and immediately go feral over them

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd oc #in a dnd lull so to keep myself sane i am coming up with some character concepts to keep in the tank #gotta have a neurotic wizard with a thousand yard stare #and enough ambition to cause serious damage #i have a couple other pc ideas but they require drawing armor and i love myself too much to do that to me right now #must resist making them all human #i am a basic bitch #style consistency who #saving this dude for a horror campaign #even though all my characters seem to be able to fit well in horror campaigns... look i love horror #the kiss is a tattoo #sometimes you just gotta ask yourself “what kind of dnd character would I want played by 70s Al Pacino?” then make an overwhelmed wizard #with a new york accent #original character #biji draws #oc #manifesting a game and the time to play in it

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be

#I feel like Kyana has time loop potential but idk what the exact loop would be #maybe the loop is the entirety of DAO and she keeps getting companions killed/locked into their Bad Endings #and the loop only stops when she manages to get them all to survive the Blight #something something she needs to learn to be a good leader and care about others #unsuccessful loops reset via the archdemon killing her (even if the dark ritual was performed) #Selene gets the classic 'your love interest keeps dying and you try to stop it' time loop #to escape the loop she must Let It Happen (and then it turns out it's fine and everyone survives) #Secret gives me the vibe of someone who knows they're in a time loop but has given up on trying to solve it #she's just going through it. trying everything. keeping herself entertained. trying to stay sane #sometimes she clues Varric in on the looping. sometimes she doesn't #actually maybe her time loop rule is that someone else has to save her from it. nothing she does by herself will work #idk what the exact reset point would be #I'm thinking the Arishok fight maybe. or Meredith #I don't think it would go as far as the Fade #also. after writing Homecoming I did have the thought of a time loop story #with Dorian as the one being trapped and trying to prevent Neil from dying/becoming possessed #maybe in his case he's not really trapped. he can stop anytime he wants but he keeps choosing to go back #the reset point is something Solas-related maybe #herearedragons meta #oc: kyana amell #oc: watcher selene #oc: secret hawke #oc: neilar lavellan #oh. actually. Aqun would be pretty fun to put in a time loop #that runs over some part of DAI and/or Trespasser #Adina is his time loop buddy (the person he usually tells about the loop because she immediately believes him) #idk what his reset/escape condition would be though #maybe in his case it's something purely mechanical #like there's no lesson to be learned it's just a magical anomaly he's trapped on #and on a meta level the 'lesson' is accepting that not everything has a Purpose or a Reason

aka: what would be a red flag!

(also, when i say heavily kin, i mean heavily. to the point where it's not just relating to the character, but having at least a little more than some of the same personality traits and behavior)

#crazy how someone can reveal who they kin and suddenly everyone knows your deepest insecurities and feelings #im not even going to add bingge. i think we all know. #honestly #liu qingge and yue qingyuan are probably the most sane ones here #might cry if you guys end up choosing bingmei because i kin him HARD #he's my top kin <3 #jk feel free to choose whoever lol #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #shen jiu #luo bingmei #luo binghe #shang qinghua #liu qingge #tianlang jun #mobei jun #sha hualing #the scum villain's self saving system #svsss #mxtx svsss

dear everyone,

a while ago, i hit 1.5k followers on this blog.... i didn't want to get too sappy but i really wanted to write something, so:

the fact that over one and a half thousand individuals follow me is truly insane and too much for my little brain to grasp. i want you to know that i'm so extremely thankful for each and every single one of you and this makes me so so so happy. this is way more than i ever had expected when creating this blog.

i made this account back in june purely for my own enjoyment; i created it mainly because i was disappointed in myself for having stopped writing, since writing has been such a big part of my life since forever. ever since i stopped writing about kpop, i had barely written anything at all... i made this account just for fun with no pressure and no expectations, and before i knew it, this blog turned into something so special for me. the blog, all of the people i've met through it and all of the moments we've shared, all mean the world to me.

honestly, i'm not sure what i would do right now if i didn't have this blog and this community. these last few months have been pretty rough for me, but i've always been able to come back on here and gain a smile or some laughter. you've all helped me so much, even if unintentionally – every single interaction helps me push forward. i'm eternally grateful for every single like, comment, reblog and ask i've received on here, and your kind words really do mean the world to me. i don't know where i would be without you.

i hit 1k a while ago but didn't celebrate it properly, so i decided to make an 1k/1.5k-celly that i will be releasing soon (when i have more time to actually write)(hopefully at the start of december). please stay tuned!

and once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so so so much. you truly are the best. 🧡🧡

#i never got near this much support on my old blogs (or wattpad accounts for that matter) #my most liked fic on my kpop blog had a little over 300 likes #and now my most liked fic here has over 3k notes #its all so insane to me #i'm so incredibly thankful for this community #i truly do not know how i would've stayed sane if i didnt have you all and this all #the support and sweet words i've been receiving is so so kind and i'm so so thankful #i read through every reblog & comment & ask i get and they make always me feel so warm #i get so giggly and kick my feet even at someone writing like “this was alright” in the tags of a reblog #i have a photo album saved for my fave tags & comments for when i feel down :((( gives me so much happiness #i love every person who's ever even shot a glance at my blog #hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤍🤍 #thank you again!!!! from the bottom of my heart

I think Madoka Magica should've let us see more of the trauma that Homura experienced after watching the only person she cared about die over and over. I want to watch as Homura's memories of every timeline and every Madoka start to blend together. Which Madoka was the real one? The original? Was it the one that saved the cat from getting hit by car or the one who saved the cat from getting hit by a bike? I want to watch as Homura struggles to remember which Madoka was HER Madoka.

#radiostatic.txt #I am genuinely fascinated by how Homura was able to stay sane throughout all of her timeloops #like we see her become cool homura and put up that facade to protect herself. to keep herself from getting too close to Madoka. #I love the moments in the series when we get to see that facade crack. #because the real Homura is a scared teenage girl who has given up her life to pursue a hopeless cause. but she can't stop trying #because she made a promise to her only friend in the entire world that she would save her. so she has to keep going #Homura Akemi has nothing wrong ever in her entire life #pmmm #puella magi madoka magica #homura akemi #I have more I could say about this but idk how coherent it would end up being

Your name is Jin Ling and today your crazy uncle has decided to be mad in Exciting New Directions and there is nothing that you can do to stop him because he has the power of God and anime Hanguang-jun on his side.

#mdzs #watched cql and now watching the animated version straight after #instructions for the caring of Jin Ling 1. #never let him go anywhere without uncle supervision #that kid is soooo lucky to have the yiling patriarch as his one of his many uncles #he has no idea #everywhere he goes his uncle the yiling patriarch is saving him #Hanguang-jun is there #he is beginning to have the sneaking suspicion that Hanguang-jun is also his uncle now but he is too afraid to ask #technically mo xuanyu goes sane (is now wei wuxian who can be a bit of a dick but is more or less mentally sound) #while literally all of jin ling's other uncle's start having mental breakdowns #your name is jin ling and you are being force-fed the most horrible porridge

been so long since I made a regular post. school's been so hectic, teachers have been piling us with coursework and projects since we only have 6 months till igcses *cries*. there had been times during the past week were I had to stop myself from passing out during lessons bcoz I was extremely sleep deprived but somehow got myself to sleep in until 11 today. Went out on a errand run with mum and also checked some food stalls and had a chance to devour a sample of turkish pistachio baklava, might buy it next time.

As for the productive part did some reading for english, differentiation practice problems and studied for my bio test that's on tuesday. This week started out good so let's hope the rest of the week doesn't turn out for the worse.(let's hope I didn't jinx it)

📖- Animal Farm by George Orwell

🎧- basically the whole Agust D album and last christmas by sara kays

#i thought i posted this yesterday(?) #turns out this was saved to my drafts🙃 #as im adding the tags im beginning to crave the baklava i ate yesterday #p.s. shoutout to my friends who kept me sane the past week #studyblr #study motivation #studyspo #studyinspo #chaotic academia

judging from my previous post one might assume i dont have any female characters, but i used to have ridiculously many. but now Anita here serves to take up all my attention (not far off from the point of almost competing with ieeha for it)

#i cant tell if the screens are weird because of my screen or if i did save them in bad quality #but thats fine theyre on my desktop and this is just for rantings sake #gosh shes everything to me #seriously though ive had sooo many female characters in the past but then personal issues kinda made it hard for me to enjoy them fully #and then once i got past that mostly i was unsubbed and out of the groove rip #anyway anitas been keeping me sane now for a few years shes my special little princess who id give my soul to

The longer I'm around the more convinced I become that Jill and Michael also had some kinda codependent-besties archetype thing going on?? they may or may not even have been aware of it, but like. they're kind of a matched set, you know? Frequently purchased together, do not separate them

#this is based more on vibe then evidence but like. boy oh boy is there evidence #you could look at how the Lovers archetype affected Raven and Lloyd when they got split up and then compare that to Michael spiraling #idk. obviously there are a lot of factors at play here but like. sort of chronologically- #they were trapped in the tower together and had to stay sane for each other. making up games together. trying not to crack. #she was his first friend. you know? #they show up to the dinner party together. they bring wine and scotch! (she taught him to drink) #(they used to laugh and drink and party together until suddenly they couldn't anymore) #jill takes the chance to admit to lloyd that she worries about michael. to which!!!! lloyd says!! at least he has you #jill and michael's well being has ALWAYS been interwoven #or like. or like. in act 6 in the final battle jill follows her own melody line bc she's ticked and this is personal #compared with michael who doesn't have a personal stake in this other than the playhouse crew being involved! #michael doesn't have his own melody. he sings to the love and a dream playhouse tune bc that's his motivation for fighting #UNTIL jill is in danger!! when Michael jumps in to save her he finally gets his own musical flavor in the song! then it's banjo boy time #idk. there was a lot of loss and multiple different traumas Michael went through after that. but suddenly he's alone again #at least he's not stuck in a swamp or a tower for years but. he's all the way back to square one. he's alone. he doesn't cope well with that #and while he misses all of them he really misses jill. at the worst of it he doesn't even want to reunite with lloyd and david #but like. he's in a real bad way. he's hit rock bottom and he carries so much guilt over not being able to help jill #to the point where even hearing that there's hope is crushing to him bc it means that there Was something he could've done #and he did nothing #he's devastated all over again not just bc he lost her. but bc he abandoned her. he failed her. #we don't have nearly as much about how jill is doing but we do have her song titled Michael about their early relationship #and the way they rely on each other #go listen to that and tell me the narrative wouldn't just eat that up and link their destinies and mental stability #they spent years in level five. you can't tell me they got away with all this unscathed #i definitely think losing son mi was a big part of why michael spiraled but this essay is about jill and michael specifically #hdhjdfhrjrdgtsg how long can post go (challenge mode) #pebble speaks #shaperaverse

how many times now have I watched this show and I still bawl my eyes out over the finale. "you have always been one of us" "it's not all on you" "be there for each other" how fucking dare big corp take this show away from me like this

love watching you go crazy go stupid over hands in that show you watch. you deserve it. as a treat

listen if there is anything to know about me, it's my love for hands. im having the time of my life over here. im so excited to keep making hands gifs. there will be so many. i will probably branch out to more hands once i complete my yr hands masterlist (which is a totally normal and sane thing to have had before this) and im living my best life.

#me? trying to find free entertainment so i can try and build my savings back up and landing on. hands. ? more likely than uou think #(im pretty sure everyone who knows me already knew it was likely) #also there are over 200 shots of hands in the 2 seasons of yr and s3 is only a matter of time #omg i dont have space in my book for the s3 hands oh noooooo #i may have to do a redo of all the hands once s3 drops just to keep things orderly #and to add any i may have missed the first time around (i already know i missed 1 and it got added later but i may have missed more) #and then. and THEN. we'll have them ALL. #i am sane i promise #i also smiled so hard when i got this ask ily #young royals #askers #disasteronmain #shh ac

said a prayer for Jjong today.

#shinee #jonghyun #idk i don't usually yk. do things like that for people that have passed but it's been six years and it felt fitting somehow #six years ago i was what. 12 about to turn 13???? had already been to a fair bit of funerals but the only ones that had hit me before #this one were the pianist at our church who passed away suddenly from a heart attack and the regional club leader who had cancer #for like three years and passed just as the doctors thought she would go into remission #and those both happened around October/November so. going into the winter season has always been hard for me and Jjong #was no different. #it's gotten better slowly but it still hurts sometimes. some days i wake up and i can't even look at any of his pictures other days #i get up and put his albums on loop and laugh and reblog so many of his antics #it's funny bc when my aunt passed on New Year's in 2019 it was exactly two weeks after the 1st anniversary date rolled around. always has #been but i never noticed until we lost her and we had to go down for the funeral and i basically disappeared off the internet for a good #two to four months sans queue and checking in on Discord and sh*t and that year he managed to keep me sane. sounds f*cked up #but that year it was just me and Spotify and my playlists and Jjong's voice amid it all. i wish i could meet him and tell him in person #that he practically saved my life even tho the fandom was still raw af from losing him but the prayer will have to be enough #you did well Jjong. you worked so hard. you are our pride. love you to the moon and back 🌒🌙 <333

Which rogue are you most afraid of meeting?

"All of them?" Khare replied, eyes darting back and forth apprehensively as though one might be listening in their conversation that very second. Who wouldn't be afraid of these people? Sure, she hadn't crossed paths with any just yet but there were a number of these criminals she'd heard the most horrible stories about, on the news and from word of mouth from the police who liked breakfast at the diner early in the morning. "I mean, these... rogues, they're all very different people, right? It's like you're asking which method of execution I'd prefer when I'm happier staying alive." And what creative methods of execution at that! Khare still had shivers at the first story she'd heard about the Joker and Harley Quinn, how their 'Joker Venom' killed a bunch of policemen and civilians who'd died laughing with the most twisted smiles on their faces. The Riddler was famous for ingenius traps and putting his victims through twisted 'games', asking them riddles where the wrong answer resulted in a gruesome death. Killer Croc lurked in the sewers, devouring any who crossed his path. Professor Pyg liked abducting people. He turned them into Dollotrons, mindless puppets who obeyed him and the Mad Hatter! He thought he was from the book Alice in Wonderland, kidnapping blonde women in his pursuit to find the titular character. Well, maybe she didn't have to be afraid of the Mad Hatter? She was brunette after all, not blonde like Cindy who'd actually gotten caught by him. The topic was afraid however, and there was one name who fit that definition. The Scarecrow. Pauli couldn't even hear the rogue's name without trembling, the man still affected from the rogue's Fear Gas which had devastated the Grand Avenue months ago and affecting people to this very day. "I guess I'd be afraid of the Scarecrow? I mean, who wouldn't be scared when targeted by the Master of Fear?"

#anonymous #;; asks #Thank you for this dear nonny! #Gosh there are SO MANY rogues she'd be fucking terrified of meeting??? #She'd heard first person accounts from Pauli and the police #Cindy got kidnapped by the Mad Hatter one time #Fortunately Batman saved her before anything happened and now the woman loves everything about Batman #Joker is right up there #Probably the Riddler too #She's certain she'll die at the first riddle #Scary situations are bad enough try keeping a level head about riddles when faced with imminent death #Not for her! #Anybody sane would be scared of a plus ten foot tall gator man who could snap you up like a chicken wing #Perfect city to hide out tho
