i have to be so real. sometimes you have to outright not give a shit what the author thinks. i’m not saying to disregard how a character is portrayed and give into fanon characterisations but sometimes i will see fans be like “(head writer) omggg do you think this character is a good person?” “how would this character react if xyz happened?” as though that’s not a question you can and have to answer for yourself.! any character can contain multitudes and if you keep limiting your perception of them solely on word of god its not fun for the writer or even yourself anymore. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVENT NEW WAYS TO FUCK YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS OVER
#put that bitch in situations and frustrate yourself as you figure out how they would react in character#and be critical of how you��re doing so and second guess and wonder is this right#and then examine your blorbo’s behaviour to come to your own conclusion!#you can only say “they would NOT say that” if they say it first !!!!#this is not even necessarily about illario but its sort of about him#its really about a pacific rim character bc as i trawl through travisbeacham’s tumblr dot com#trying to read about lore its like ‘is chuck a good person’ WHO CARESSSS. WHAT DO YOU THINK#how have YOU reacted to him? and take yourself out of the equation— what makes his character unappealing in a meta way?#how do people in-universe think of him?#i think all these questions could of course also apply to illario#who suffers hard from ‘players take him at face value’ despite many pointers to more shit going on behind the scenes#of course this statement applies to the larger audience#bc everyone who fucking follows me here or is mutuals with me loves that freak too#anywyas. i ahve to go hibernate again . i have a real job#txt

thinking about how chilchuck’s wife disappeared one day without him ever knowing why. he came home from work in the dungeon and the woman he loves was gone.
Of course, after learning that she was safe he did the most Chilchuck thing ever, avoiding seeing her for the next 4 years because it’s easier to avoid the woman he loves all together than to learn what he did that hurt and drove her away.
Obviously, having her husband never come find her only cemented her doubts about Chil: he doesn’t love her anymore, because if he loved her he would find her and try to make things work.
Little did she know Chil would spend the next 4 years faithful.
#thinking about chilchuck spending 4 years alone in the home he used to share with his wife/childhood friend makes me UGH#and all that time he’s wondering what he did wrong/what he could have done differently#they’re so angsty i love it so much#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#chilchuck#sorry for being cringe i’m tired and chuck brained

I'm reading A Lonely Place of Dying and Alfred latching immediately onto Tim is NASTY work. Tim shows up and is like "I never aimed to be Robin! I mean I did karate my whole life to emulate Robin and just so happen to have sought you out and grabbed this costume in my size out from that case and really you should be calling me Robin just for now and let me come with you as Robin but I never dreamed it would specifically be ME being Robin. You have a lovely house and home btw :) Now go back to being 10." And Dick's understandably like "No I am a grown man now who are you" and Bruce is not here for this one, but later on is like "You aren't Robin, you're some kid dressed up like my dead son." But Alfred?
IMMEDIATELY Alfred is implying Dick was trying to subtly ask Tim to be Robin (simply not true in in NTT 61, when the implication is made, although he changes his mind in Batman 442) and that Bruce should be grateful for this young man's profound bravery and immense natural skill and maybe show him a few pointers or something idk we'll see :) Like let's be clear, the idea that Tim didn't want to be Robin is simply not part of this story outside of like two lines of dialogue where he's like "oh I didn't consider it could be me!" after which he immediately goes "Wow so you ARE gonna let me be Robin right?" the second he sees the opportunity. The guy essentially makes himself Robin once Dick makes it clear he isn't gonna be. Dick tells Tim nobody should be at first (until he changes his mind) but is ignored because Tim doesn't get why and goes with what he understands, his own stance.
I'm of the opinion that the whole "Tim understands that being Robin is an arduous task full of suffering from the start and chooses to bravely yet sadly martyr himself for the cause" thing I see sometimes is strongly disproven, at least in the beginning of his Robin career, by his "Batman NEEDS a Robin (to love and care for and to watch out for him in return :) )" line of reasoning, his subsequent willingness for Anybody to be Robin whether or not it was him (unless he was consciously okay with other children suffering for his benefit which I find really hard to believe,) and his active glee at anything involving being Robin and persistent smiling pursuit of Doing So against Batman's strong disapproval, because he hasn't officially said no (he did several times, but you can't blame a kid for being excited.) Like, I think he said he never dreamed of being Robin just because having a kid come in begging to replace Batman's dead son because it was a personal aspiration would be extraordinarily rude and arrogant and they wanted people to like this one. He was NOT in any way adverse they just couldn't make him THAT presumptuous, and he is by nature of what he's doing already moderately so.
But say it was true, that Tim was actively opposed to being Robin? Alfred would be pushing this shit HARD onto this thirteen year old kid like what the fuck bro. And "From what Master Richard said, he follows your orders." is HEINOUS but let's not get into that.
#of all the robins so far Bruce has foisted Robin on Tim is by far the least Foisted#“Even if he's right I dont want another Robin” vs “He doesn't want me but he hasn't told me no yet :)”#“You can't kill batman or nightwing!” “Or Robin?? :D”#bro is literally “And Bumblebee!”#tim says he never wanted it for himself but he actively seeks out being Robin so I think that's like “oh i never imagined”#^I've finished reading through and other dialogue directly confirms this#“yeah it hasn't occurred to be that I could ever be Robin but yk just in case-ies I've been actively preparing to be Robin half my life”#I considered the “being robin is a burden” angle to that line but if that IS what he's saying#it would be pretty fucked up that he'd be okay with anyone being Robin him or not. Like he doesn't come into this AIMING to be Robin#because he's never thought about it#and he clearly has no sense of why Dick is saying no so I can't fully buy into that#I guess the best answer rlly is him being like “oh little old me being robin? :o well gosh golly im doing that now”#i mean the actual best answer is “whoops fuck actually people want Robin back in the story egg on our face with that one”#but yk. in universe#“if they think they can kill Robin with no repercussions who will they hunt down next!”#I mean. They can do that. It becomes a major issue that they can in fact do that with no repercussions. They would be right because its tru#In his first story Tim is ALREADY hyping up the cops as an impregnable force. This is subtle Chuck Dixon foreshadowing#tim drake#batman#dc comics#alfred pennyworth

Y'know what I have a question for the fellowship actually. Who the fuck let Sam leave Rivendale with a cast iron frying pan hanging off his pack. I can see the hobbits not giving a damn, but you've got seasoned hikers and wanderers in that group. THEY HAVE A COOKING POT. You do NOT need both a pot and a frying pan, you can fry things in the pot if necessary?? I'm sure it would work just as well?? Why bring all the additional weight?? Sam lugs that thing all the way to Moria. I don't think we see him use it once past weathertop.
#Sam what the hell#All that just to chuck it into a ditch on moria#Don't get me wrong I'm very impressed by your strength and determination to have a fried meal I just think this energy could be better spent#Elsewhere#lotr#Lord of the rings#the fellowship of the ring#samwise gamgee

I've noticed some of my Pizza Tower posts as well as my Star Tower overview post have been getting some attention as of late, and I simply couldn't be happier on the matter, especially seeing how much people like Star Tower in particular!
And seeing as I've had art of the lot sitting around for some time, I've decided to whip up six individual icons for each of the five Fruitins as well as the Super Key as it's been quite a while since the Fruitins have all been seen together on this blog! 🍒🍊🍈🥨🍌🔑
#⭐ Star's Art ⭐#Star Tower#Pizza Tower#Pizza Tower AU#The Fruitins#Cherry Fruitin#Orange Fruitin#Melon Fruitin#Pretzel Fruitin#Banana Fruitin#Super Key#Icons#Aseprite#Sprite Art#Coolness#Ladies and gentlemen and all in between... THEY'RE BACK!#My friend giftboxxworld particularly adores the Fruitins and so I thought I'd showcase them again for newcomers of my blog#For a bit of trivia... these particular drawings of the Fruitins (Save for the Super Key) were drawn for Star Tower's rank screens#Where instead of all five being separated they're bunched together in a neat little row#If anyone would like to see the only rank screen I have drawn right now (That being the D-Rank) do let me know#I'd like to wait until every rank screen is drawn to post them in bulk but I'm not opposed to sharing what I have right now#Sometime in the near future I'd love to draw a group shot of all of Star Tower's bosses#Or I could just draw Charley Chuck again what with all the hype surrounding The Noise lately#I've put a lot more thought into playable Charley than you might think. My bestie Pan can attest to that!

Sometimes I sit down to think about the true ramifications of how / what the Fizz Bots are to Fizzarolli,
Imagine robotic clones ( sexual, at that ) being made of you and they are not only modeled after you in physical appearance, but have a likeness to your personality, mannerisms and general demeanor. Imagine they say the things you would, possibly act in the same way you would.
What's worse, is that they're made in your likeness in real time; their production / manufacturing ages along with you,
Imagine you SEE these things being assaulted, used & abused in public; these clones take it all with a smile. Soulless, mindless... But as if that's not enough, then realizing that they may just have sentience. Or at least, they give off the impression they do. And on top of ALL that... they have chunks of your memories, your past; they're you, but at the same time, they aren't,
What do you do with that information? How do you treat them ( yourself? )? What's the end game?
#ㅤ good morning & welcome to Kraehe's 4AM brain; i love Kitty with my heart & soul but FUCK this shit is creepy#ㅤ i don't envy Fizz - not one bit. it's interesting to think about all this because it makes you wonder if her individuality / sentience-#ㅤ -even matters. she KNOWS it doesn't ( it's logical ) & it's not like she has an identity crisis about who / what she's supposed to be#ㅤ but FUCK man it's creepy creepy creepy still! & i'm always eager to explore that; i love Kitty but she's OFF PUTTING. they all are!#ㅤ the little sentience we see is obviously a gag & mainly played for laughs ( i'm sure the masses WANT them to appear like they suffer )#ㅤ but it still makes you think & wonder. anyway - like i said i love Kitty but I definitely do not shy away on the fact of what she is.#ㅤ she's SUPPOSED to make Fizz ( and others but mainly him ) uncomfortable; she's strange & off putting & ( one could even argue ) a-#ㅤ -bastardization of Fizz himself. giving her a different color palette and a lady's voice doesn't change shit...#ㅤ Fizz is NOT obligated nor should he see these things as real; they aren't WHICH IS WHY his views on the Fizz bots as a whole makes#ㅤ -it so fucking interesting for me to consider when writing out interactions Kitty! it's so fucking fun...#⠀﹙ ➛ 𝐊𝟕𝐓𝐓𝐈.𝐄𝐗𝐄 ﹚⠀:⠀ㅤmoderator 🎀 me tome un selfie,#⠀﹙ ➛ 𝐊𝟕𝐓𝐓𝐈.𝐄𝐗𝐄 ﹚⠀:⠀ㅤheadcanons 🎀 chuck a cupcake,

Guys I am so fucking itchy and every time I scratch I get these purple blotches showing up afterwards. What is that about
#the internet is calling it petrechiae#i don’t think it’s anything but isn’t it though? like i’ve had this a little before but not on this scale#i mean my entire legs are basically itchy and then i scratch and then i get this#some people are saying iron deficiency. seems extremely likely#others are saying low platelet count. precisely what is that doing to sabotage me#others are saying leukaemia. not good#i have to go to the doctor anyway about my horrendous acid reflux so if this shit is still happening to me by then i’ll be like hey chief#why this???#also should i up my iron intake. i already take 7mg a day#mayhaps i could go up to 10?#i forgot to take antihistamines for a couple of days and i just took some which hopefully could help#i’ve chucked all the pants i’ve been wearing in the laundry#it’s moreso the itching that’s bothering me. it’s so random. my skin will look no different than usual yet it itches like CRAZY#i scratch it like crazy and it goes red and then i get the blotches sometime later#so i think the petrechiae are from trauma from scratching. but then WHAT’S MAKING ME ITCH#i wonder if it’s just the histamines released when i idly scratch the first time#maybe also my anxiety because i don’t want to lie here scratching my whole body all day. which draws my attention to it#will i die from this. answers on a postcard please#personal

Ben Hurr, but set in the Fallout Universe with Joshua Graham being Ben Hurr and Edward Sallow/Caesar being Messala
Obviously would need to do some further tweaking to the story as an adaptation but-
Come on; two dudes who were besties and one of them becomes a Roman Tribune and Leader while the other stays devout to his Religion and his people despite Roman pressure. He gets falsely accused, imprisoned, but eventually is freed from slavery and comes back to face his Childhood friend on the Roman stage through the power of vengeance and faith.
Literally the first main part of that movie is about Messala coming back to their hometown to help rule over it as "Rightful Roman Territory" and doesn't understand why his own childhood best friend, Ben Hurr, would be so devout to his God and thinks he should tell his people of Judaea to stop rebelling against Rome because Rome rules all now, including them... Conflict and complex relationship dynamic ensues
Could be a cool AU type thing 👀
#Could even keep/go heavy on the Homoeroticism that's already accidentally in the source material 👀#Specifically thinking of this through the 1959 version of Ben Hurr#Honestly tho could swap being sent to the oar line with him getting chucked into the grand canyon on fire 🤷🏻#caesar fnv#FNV#I had this thought during work today and had to share#edward sallow#legion posting#Fanfiction ideas#Ben Hurr (1959)#Like eventually Ben Hurr in the movie is even arrested by Massala because of a misunderstanding/accident but its too late#Massala no longer sees him as an equal but the enemy of everything that's against what he's trying to do and falsely imprisons him#leading to then Ben Hurrs strengthening of his own Faith and through God and strength all the other stuff happens leading up to THE RACE#sorry this is a very abreviated version of the story#Just rambling#idk if Jesus B plot would need to be in there in the Fallout Version but 😅 could figure something else out for that maybe#Joshua Graham#Joshua Graham x Edward Sallow#Edward Sallow X Joshua Graham#joshua graham#Joshua Graham X Caesar#Edward Sallow/Joshua Graham

instead of working on any of the things I wanted to be working on I'm just thinking of how much I love the idea of So Mi contacting Alt and then when her plan goes sideways about her making Alt promise to try and get Myers out. and through Rogue's help Alt gets Valentine involved in smuggling her out, to appease So Mi and also make Valentine's life difficult. I think this is how I'm going to work Chuck into the story like Rogue assigns her to Valentine to a) knock out her bodyguards while she's in Dogtown and b) protect her on her way to meet Myers and be her face in getting her out of town.
#valentine surrounded by women who could easily kill her or have her killed#and then chuck who is not paid enough to care about politics and just thinks the whole situation is kind of funny#the biggest woman you know speaking in a strong wisconsin accent and does not give a shit except to collect her paycheck#i haven't worked out how valentine explains all this to arasaka or the consequences but the premise is so good i'm going to do it

I will never get over the fact that the got rid of the necklace because???? it kept hitting him in the face during fights?? Like baby girl just tuck it into your shirt
#or they could have made a rubber one specifically for fight scenes#it genuinely pisses me off so bad that they immediately went last resort and chucked (heh) the thing#but that’s actually very supernatural now that I think about it#‘hmm we have gotten all the use out of this that we can’ *yeet*#this same logic is also unfortunately applied to characters#supernatural#spn#dean winchester#the samulet#I don’t think you can convince me that Dean would have actually tossed the amulet#he was angry but he is even more so sentimental

clocking in at midnight to say, do y'all ever think about how......there is some dark star at the heart of constantine that really, truly enjoys taking a fucking piece out of someone that wrongs him. that genuinely craves having power over people who are used to having that power themselves.
like, there's a reason that his principal driving forces are empathy and guilt: he cares a lot about people being wronged, and he gets absolutely fucking furious at the people who wrong them. what's more, he's clever enough to lash out in ways that ensure maximum damage without necessarily involving him directly. (instructing chas to pay people to break the legs of a guy that hurt one of his exes, involving ellie in a scheme to drop the archangel gabriel from grace) now, he always feels awful afterwards about taking such drastic steps, and the people he goes after are genuinely reprehensible fucks who deserved far worse, but the shit that he sets people up for in a fit of anger gets intense, man.
tbh i think he attributes that part of himself to his father. and it's part of why he struggles to look at himself in mirrors some days. i don't think he'll ever feel like he's left his father behind him, or broken the cycle, or outgrown the nasty bits of himself that made mistakes like newcastle, because he's never fully learned how to get that rage to go away before acting on it impulsively.
#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#this doesn't have to make sense tbh i'm rambling#but like him going all in for the tate club In Person? that was a BIG step in a new direction for him#and imo if he hadn't been able to reconcile with chas and gemma later? we could have seen a MUCH worse john constantine#someone who took his pound of flesh In Person and Enjoyed it. someone who never fully stopped grieving.#i think in a lot of ways the versions of him that show up in crap like neo-gothic and jld are truly his nightmare#bc those people are vindictive and nasty and wholly selfish. the way he was after cheryl died#except they never Stop being that way. he Did. they were built that way; he Wasn't#ANYWAY i talk a lot about how he doesn't like violence but imo that's in part bc he Craves it sometimes#and that's part of why one primary method of self-destruction is just finding someone to beat the shit out of him#bc then he can feel like a victim (which he knows how to be) and not like a potential aggressor (which he can't handle being)#idk if any of these phrases sound the way i want them to but we're just gonna chuck that all into the void and workshop tomorrow#( headcanons. ) I'M JUST LIKE THE BASTARDS I'VE HATED ALL ME LIFE.

sometimes i think about my spn oc and how i rewrote everything about amara to interact with the story i was trying to tell about her. there were some really neat ideas in that i need to recycle for something one day. like, in the show proper, they just let amara take over a human baby and that’s fine, but amara’s not Meant To Be Here. this entire universe is one constructed in her absence. saying she can possess a human body should be like saying if you took a person and sent them to a universe where 1+1=3, they could just figure out how to function within that.
which in story took the form of Amara being something that could not be Understood, only Rationalized. a force locked outside the narrative who could only get inside and destroy things if given a role within it. by the Winchesters as A Monster To Face. by Chuck as Wayward, Unreachable Sister. and by miss oc as. simultaneously a projected creature to be saved, an amalgamation of injustices done to herself (and others) that would never be righted but could be made up for by being a part of this. and as something impossibly powerful that could be both protection and purpose.
and the Darkness wasn’t any of those things, really, but to have agency in her own story required new shackles, but ones she was always straining against. she wouldn’t fit inside the confines of a human mind, let alone a body, at least not well enough to leave it Intact. like lucifer burning through nick, but Worse. because the burns were an expected outcome of skin not strong enough to hold him. humans were built for angels, some were built better and some worse, but they’re meant to work. putting amara in human skin should disconnect the skin and mind and soul from the reality her brother built itself, i think. slowly. bit by bit.
and at the same time, i’d gone and written the kind of wild scenario you really can only write for your thirteen year old mary sue, given that spn oc the part of herald/high priestess/failed vessel. which she pursued with wild abandon like that would fix anything wrong with her <3
in the end, running alongside the borrowed family theming of the original show was my own theme of “how much self-annihilation will you accept to make your point. are you accepting it, really. or are you seeking it.” not just physically, in letting something unmake the base components of what you are as it tries to fit inside you or in it constricting and suffocating itself beyond self-recognition to get inside in the first place, but, obviously, it’s supernatural, how much selfhood do you cede to your family. is it worth it.
it was interesting, if nothing else. let thirteen year old me cook. she had ideas.
#spn oc#don’t mind this i’m rambling about nothing i felt nostalgic about her (<- my oc)#there was also an explanation in the mix for why amara was called amara in this au too despite. you know. not being a baby.#and it was like. a vessel’s desperate attempt to separate itself from the thing inside it by naming it something other than itself.#like a last moment of self-preservation. the opposite of lucifer using nick’s face and us all agreeing to think of it as his. you know?#and amara means beauty.#it’s a very human need. to name things. and the thing is that humanity itself is antithetical to what amara is. in this au.#not because of any inherent quality of it. but because it was not made with her in mind.#i keep bringing up lucifer but he’s such a good comparison case of what thirteen year old me was trying to construct here#and what i can better explain now that im. not thirteen. but its that. lucifer has beef with humans because they have common ground.#the only reason he can hate them is because they’re recognizable to him. terrible little cockroaches. but something he understands.#amara as i conceived of her could not hate or love or understand humanity. or the world. or anything as we know it. because it was not made#to be seen by her. it was made with the express purpose of her never encountering it.#when i was thirteen i wanted her to be so much more alien than she was. unfortunately this is supernatural and supernatural deals in#Just Some Guy forever and ever <3#but it was my story so i made her fucked up and weird and beyond comprehension.#except. of course. when forced to bend into a shape that makes her Not her.#i don’t think proper envesseling would have been a process either her or the oc survived. not because they’d die but because they’d get.#stuck? i think? that was what the intent was. that they’d get melted together like plastic toys.#chuck had a nice smooth envesseling in this au because these toys are made for him.#and angels need consent and angels get bleedover from their vessels because the toys are shared with them but they’re closer to being toys#themselves too.#i’ve rambled enough honestly no one cares about this but me aksjfkjfks#what was i talking about. right! the naming!#the naming of amara is a nail in her coffin because she is named and it is so human to be named and to be perceived and to be shaped by that#perception. even without malicious intent. even to be looked at as destruction itself and be named beauty.#in the same way you kill what something could be by learning what it is. the way a unicorn dies when you discover how rhinos were drawn.#does that make sense? that’s what kills her. bit by bit.
