#mlp #My Little Pony #g1 #g2 #g3 #g3.5 #g4 #g4.5 #g5 #I had to think about this a while #personally my answer is no they are not dolls #it's true they were designed to be played with 'as if' they were dolls #like they are portrayed as intelligent creatures who talk #not mere pets #but that is also the case with Fluppy Dogs and Pound Puppies: they talked and even had fashion packs #and they are always called stuffed animals not dolls #I had a bunch of little cheap plastic zoo animals growing up (you know the kind)#and I gave them human personalities and imagined them talking and having adventures #but I wouldn't consider them dolls; I'd call them animal figures or just 'plastic animals'#to me 'doll' implies human or at least human looking (could be an alien or a monster or have a dog head like Pinkie Cooper etc)#but most importantly if someone says 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into My Little Ponies'#you instantly understand what they mean #whereas if someone said 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into Barbie' you'd be like 'wait what'

hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care

#it should be like. a hernia. or diverticulitis #something intestinal for maximum Awkward Scenario #and the entire car ride alternates between awkward silence and the driver lecturing their nemesis on the importance of regular check-ups #this is funnier if the hero is the one having the hernia tbh. but both options are Very Good #want to emphasize that it is a 'medical emergency ' that is clearly not extreme enough for the emergency room #and the sidekick/henchperson gets stuck in traffic so the hero/villain stays for moral support #they spend 8 hours in the waiting room playing Uno (it devolves into a screaming match)#at the end of the ordeal one of them vows to burn the hospital to the ground with their laser eye powers #and it's Not The One You Think #oh oh oh! ALTERNATIVELY:#it's an allergic reaction; one of them accidentally poisoned the other by using like. soybean derivative in a tranquilizer dart #emphasis on *accidentally*. yes they were technically fighting but That Wasn't Supposed To Happen #so now they're obligated to take responsibility and Stay In The Waiting Room #(can't decide if it's funnier if it's the hero or the villain stuck in this situation)#(probably the villain)#“why didn't you TELL me you were allergic to soybeans???”#“um because you would use it against me in combat?”#“as opposed to NOT telling me! which has worked out fantastic for you!!!”#villain being genuinely offended bc they have a biochemistry degree and have invented literally dozens of untraceable poisons #they have the scientific skill to poison their favorite jackass in hundreds of ways #(and have done so before! in admittedly non-fatal outcomes but that was by design okay)#but it's “dangerous” to do them the simple curtesy of informing them about a SOY ALLERGY????#above all else they consider themself a scientist #and they're LIVID that their favorite (reluctant) test subject lied about their medical history #“technically i didn't LIE--#“I read you the questionnaire! the very first time i held u hostage i READ YOU THE QUESTIONNAIRE!!!”#“...the what now”#“the MEDI--holy shit you weren't even paying attention were you #i had you bound and gagged over an ACTUAL BUBBLING ACID PIT and you couldn't even be bothered to--#“--so i was obviously a bit BUSY at that moment! I'm sorry i ignored your VILLAINOUS MONOLOGUING while the BLOOD WAS RUSHING TO MY HEAD but

reflection

#anyways so i think samus has major survivors guilt and is a super perfectionist. The type of girl who reimagines scenarios in her mind #And thinks about how she could have done better. like ‘if i had woken up sooner maybe i could have saved everyone in prime 3’#so i think she says she doesnt know anything about herself because shes so hypercritical of her actions she doesnt see herself as a person #while also her hyper critical-ness shows how she says she wants to ignore herself but she literally cant because she has so many criticisms #oh i wanted to include the ppl from the prime 2 manga in that one shot but was like ‘i dont think ppl will recognize them’.#also lol the existence of dark samus would fuck her up SOOOO bad like it only exists bc she exists & its responsible for the gang’s deaths #okay im done rambling tldr MENTAL ILLNESS.#metroid #samus aran #loneart #metroid dread #metroid prime #super metroid #metroid series #i dont wanna tag all the games. There just those games is enough #hall of fame #gray voice

i think alphonse would still experience depersonalization and dysmorphia even after getting his body back

#alphonse elric #obviously hes glad about having it back #but there's this unease at the back of his mind #because hes been put into a new body that is drastically different from the one he was in for years for a second time #and that body isnt the one he lost. it had changed so much since he was 10 and i dont even think he could recognize himself for a while #i also think thats why he got the exact same haircut he had as a kid. to feel more like that younger and more familiar version of himself.#anyway i think he would still feel like he lost another part of himself by gaining everything back #even if he hated every second of being in that armor and even if all he ever wanted was to be normal again #he still spent 5 years in that body. long enough to begrudgingly become used to it #and for his body to change instantly into an unrecognizable version of himself #i dont think he had an easy time adjusting to being so different physically #even beyond the fact that he had to spend months/years physically recovering #oughhh its such a weird and complex feeling to miss something that made him miserable #just because that familiarity is more comforting than all of the pain and overstimulation of gaining his senses back #and being a completely different person physically #i also think hed have trouble sleeping for a while and start Thinking About Things He Shouldn't at night again #this is one of those things #fma #fullmetal alchemist #fma fanart #fmab fanart #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #fma art #fmab #fma brotherhood

*at dinner after a case closed the night before regarding a murdered gymnastics couple that hit a little too close to home*

Dick: yknow

Dick: I think Mapa and Papa Robin would've loved you guys

Everyone else: ???? Who

Dick:

Dick: My. My parents?? Y'know the ones who Robin was named after?

Jason: what.

Dick: surely B told you about the origin of the name

*silence*

Dick: B...

Bruce: I can explain-

#aves.writing #listen . i dont think even half the family beaides maybe Tim is actually aware of the meaning behind Robin as a name. they should get to.#dick gets to talk about his family while everyone gets to learn more about the original Robin and his outfit (and why he had no pants)#dc comics #dcu #dc robin #dick grayson #batfam #nightwing #dc universe #does this count as incorrect quotes. idk #incorrect quotes #top hits

He did eventually sign it

#sonic movie universe #stobotnik #doctor ivo robotnik #agent stone #initially i wanted the marriage one to happen with movie 3 ivo #but then i remember the government erased all evidence of him and therefore he legally doesn't exist and can't get married #which i guess means that they also had to discover they were married and erase that too?#or i guess maybe they didn't realize and the only evidence of ivo Robotnik left is a marriage certificate only stone knows about #anyway this concept is unhinged for a number of reasons and that makes it very funny to me #first stone just. signing whatever the hell the doctor wants without checking what it is #you just know he signed dome heinous shit. body modification was probably included somewhere #then robotnik trying to trick him into marriage! why??#well i assure there's not a romantic thought in his head while doing it #he just thinks stone is his and that it should be official #but he also knows what it looks like so he didn't want stone to find out #also the fact that he doesn't even know the guy he's trying to marry'#real name like... okay #the fact that stone is not bothered by it and he in fact redid the certification so it would be official #THE FACT THAT THIS IMPLIES EVERYTHING ELSE HE SIGNED IS NOT LEGALLY BINDING BECAUSE HIS NAME WAS WRONG #you get it i think it's funny

something there’s a distinct lack of in batman fanfics, especially ‘brucie wayne’ centred ones is the networking he’d have to be doing on the daily to maintain that sorta reputation

like, we all know the man knows how to throw a gala but where are the brunches? the happy hour gossip session with his cover’s clique of the week? the golf club dinners he has to attend every third week of the month? what about visits to hospitals or schools or the soup kitchens for his philanthropy? come on now

you’re telling me he’s the most sought after celebrity in gotham city and beyond, an infamous playboy and supposed extroverted people person who can use long holidays that can last weeks at a time away in tropical islands supposedly partying it up as a plausible excuse to hide his injuries sometimes but when he’s in gotham he’s either at wayne enterprise meetings or tucked away at home alone? nah

i want to see bruce having to really utilise those meditation breathing skills he learned in the league while he’s having to sit upright in a chair with 4 broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a minor concussion in a painfully bright restaurant at 3pm on a wednesday having to listen to bethany-anne titter on about the latest gossip about her neighbours affair with the maid that’s basically an open secret by now like pls there’s so many different routes you can go with this depending on the genre,,, make bruce have to REALLY commit to that cover of his lmao

The batkids encountering distressed children and calling them "sweetheart", subconsciously mimicking how Bruce would and will call them sweetheart when they're distressed, and not even realizing it?? Don't speak to me. I can't.

#I was specifically thinking about dick doing this #and it being particularly emotional bc he's the eldest child. the one who had to step in and be batman for while #the one who's practically like a second parent to his siblings and just like.#smth about it hits hard.#bc dick is very different from bruce but he's the eldest so he's also more similar to bruce than anyone in the family cares to admit #and when dick uses that nickname. for a moment the family just sees bruce #and it's heart wrenchingly beautiful #I'm not convinced I conveyed my thoughts well at all but oh well I tried #dc #dc comics #batman comics #batman #batman meta #bruce wayne #dick grayson #nightwing #dc robin #jason todd #jason todd wayne #red hood #batfamily #batfam #bruce wayne is a good dad #bruce wayne is a good parent #tim drake wayne #tim drake #red robin #damian wayne #damian al ghul #cassandra cain

Then Jason never kills again.

#dc #dc comics #batman #red hood #bruce wayne #jason todd #my art #I know that Bruce is an very optimist person and belives that the system can be fixed and all that but this is very funny #Jason got burned so bad he had to leave Gotham for a while to think about his choices

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot
