#just some thoughts

[gastersreturn]

I got lots of new asks these days! Can't thank you guys enough for that, it's just a delight to receive them ToT If you submitted an ask and I didn't answered it yet, don't worry, I keep all of them! Sometimes you guys ask really interesting stuffs than gives me mini comic ideas, or the stuffs you ask are kinda spoilers so I wait some times before answering them I also answer asks from the oldest to the most recent (except when it wouldn't make sense to wait too long to answer, like the asks when you just say how much you liked the recent pages x)) ANYWAY! Just to say I answer all asks, don't worry, I didn't forget about you!!

One of the things I actually really like about the Fall of Anakin Skywalker was how it showed the true horror of a popular romance trope.

Over the years, in numerous books and countless fanfics, we've all seen some variation or another of the infamous "I'd burn the world down for you." And fans always swoon over this line because it's framed as this noble or romantic gesture where the character puts their love over everything else.

What I particularly loved about the prequels was that it showed what happened when the character, in this case, Anakin, actually did burn the world down "for Padmé" and we saw how terrifying and horrendous such a thing actually is.

OK SO i was watching Arcane

and ever since Viktor started using shimmer, I was just waiting for Jayce to find out and reject him. I mean, whenever a character does something like that, they’re rejected and it starts their descent into evil. And when Jayce found him with his purple limbs exposed, I thought that would be it. But then Jayce saved him, and, when Viktor came out, there was this line:

“What am I?”

“You’re… alive.”

Jayce doesn’t care that Viktor was using shimmer, that his body was different, he just cared that Viktor was alive and he would stay that way.

I have never seen that before. And when Viktor leaves, it’s because he’s scared of the Hexcore. Not because Jayce rejected him. And Jayce tried not to lose him. Jayce was willing to give up his power, to try morally dubious techniques, just to keep Viktor around.

like, that amount of commitment… whether it’s romantic or platonic, Jayce loves him so much.

idk I just love them so much.

Simon Riley being a menace, but subtly…

Simon Riley hiding your keys as an excuse for you to ask him for help. he does it sparingly, every other month or so - he just likes seeing you light up and sigh when he ‘finds them’… he had them in his back pocket for twenty minutes.

Simon Riley purposely putting your favorite snacks somewhere you can’t reach after grocery shopping. it was an honest mistake! he was totally just on autopilot and wasn’t even thinking about it… he’ll get them for you if you say ‘please’.

Simon Riley noticing your phone, forgotten and discarded on a table. he picks it up, doesn’t return it immediately. your phones missing, but Simon’s there to hand it back to you. when you’re going through your camera gallery later that week you notice a wall of photos… Simon, his masked face from different angles, a couple fishbowl lens shots, and then buried in the middle is one of his balaclava tugged up slightly - cracking a small, toothy smile at your camera.

Ghost being a menace, but it’s in your face…

Ghost, who’s walking in front of you, stops suddenly so you smack into his back. dressed in full uniform and bulky, looks over his shoulder and scoffs… “watch where you’re walking.”, pretending this isn’t the fourth time he’s done it today.

Ghost who has his patience running thin when you ignore him. he’s been polite about it, maybe a bit short. you’ve decided to play dumb, get back at him for messing with you, “Didn’t quite catch that, Ghost.”, and he smiles under his balaclava… “That’s alright, we’ll play a little Simon Says then, yeah?”, a low, rumbly chuckle resonating in his chest, “Simon says look at me, lovie.”.

I think Bakugou would kill for a lot of people but the only person he would die for without hesitation is Izuku and I think Izuku would die for a lot of people but the only person he would kill for without hesitation is Kacchan

[empresskylo]

new year’s eve where you go out to the bars and ghost makes sure to mention how dumb this celebration is. he’s just here for the alcohol. until soap starts joking around that you just havvveeee to kiss someone when it strikes midnight. so you look for johnny approaching 12, and he waves you over, but before you can head over to him, everyone cheering in the bar as it hits midnight, ghost grabs your arm twisting you around “what’re you—“ and kisses you. kissing you hard and fervently. letting you go in a haze, not saying a word, no explanation, soap gawking at the two of you from across the bar.

Sooooo how long was the attic locked??

I’d imagine Parker would have missed Chance a lot a lot 💔

I’d think that Parker would have forced the other attic dwellers to play with him but that wouldn’t fill the void of being away from Chance.

You know for all intents and purposes it was a mercy that Kim Dokja’s body was expelled after his death in the tenth main scenaio

Because how much more fucked would it had been if his corpse was left.

Like he’s died before, Dokja has left corpses before and came back alive. The time limits have changed in the past and his revival has been delayed before.

How long do you think the company would’ve held onto his corpse? How long would they hold off on that funeral?

Would they notice a difference when Dokja’s body went into rigor mortis?

Has his corpse went into rigor mortis before? Because if so they still may hold onto hope.

Would they wait for decomposition to start?

Would they set him up in the usual coffin and check in on it? You know, just in case?

How long would it take the others to get Dokja’s body out of Yoo Joonghyuk’s arms?

[listenerslanguage]

Tbh, I really like the idea of characters that act the opposite of their personalities as yanderes.

The cold, villainous, sadistic character that turns soft, not daring to lay a finger on you in fear that you may shatter. They promise to kill anyone who dares look at you wrong – or even think of you wrong. But don't worry, they love you, and they are not one bit hesitant to show that to you.

Then, the kind, innocent, sweet character that doesn't even act like the same person anymore. The person who makes sure to release any bug that got trapped in their room outside is covered in blood. Maybe they still have their iconic smile but it became twisted and malicious, or maybe they got rid of their gentle persona.

Maybe even smart characters that seem to be the next Einstein start to fumble and mix up facts, becoming sloppy in their work. And the rather dumb or stupid character using their brain for once and being scarily too good at finding and concealing their work.

Something along those lines, yeah.

man sometimes I forget how good we have it in the sun and moon subfandom, like from the very beginning it’s been a hella welcoming community to newer creators and newer creations in general. still see the love and encouragement among us. it’s great here

[domesticandlovingmonsters]

I'm a big sucker for a monster having such a soft spot for someone, that when they're full of rage, a simple touch on the arm or a word softly spoken, calms them. You see their muscles relax and their eyes lose that fire behind them.

It's just so sweet and I get so mushy thinking about it.

BUT I also go feral for when that person validates the monster's anger. They step aside, not out of fear, but because they don't want blood on their shoes. The monster glances at them, and you see the person's eyes harden a smidge and the tiniest nod tilts their chin.

Give me scary monster's that don't need to be calmed or soft!! But also let me see that adorable safe space scene when the monster finally lets their shell crack enough to let someone in!!!!

white lotus is insanely good at showing capitalism and the state of western society as a prison that it is. the entire point of this ep was i think that so many characters got so close to breaking out of the cycle only to end up stepping back into the cage of it, locking it after themselves, and willingly throwing out the key.

piper, who like so many young people saw the injustice of the world and felt helpless in the face of it. wanted to give up her privilege and get away from her family who represented everything she hated only to let those values she resented pull her back in. the desire for comfort, the privilege of watching the world end from your comfortable seat at the top, the practiced line of “if we don’t enjoy what we have it’s a waste”. that was her breaking point and she will never go back. 30 years and she’ll be undistinguishable from her mother.

gaitok, whose story mirrors piper’s so closely in how he rejects his entire worldview because barely anyone is strong enough to uphold it in a system that will break you if you try to oppose it. to have once felt so helpless in the face of evil and to side with it since you can’t defeat it. to be pushed to find the violence within yourself when all you ever wanted was to treat the world kindly.

belinda, whose formative experience was being wronged by a millionaire, to have money and convenience prioritized over her, to experience the fickleness and complete lack of backbone of someone who has enough money to afford to have no morals. and to give up everything she believed in, all qualms about greg’s blood money, all dreams grounded in the reality of mortals to advance up to the realm of the wealthy. and to repeat what was done to her with the exact same carelessness and fickleness. to be so swept up in money that pornchai immediately becomes just inherently lesser to her.

rick, who had plans to kill the man who murdered his father and didn’t go through with them only to see that man again and get enraged by his words, again, and still, choose to control himself. he did not believe in therapy for a second at the beginning but, when everyone thinks he gets up from the table to give into murderous impulses, he actually seeks out mental help. only to be denied. to be denied when he comes to the therapist with tears, begging, willing to change and willing to believe in a better future he wants, needing just one chance, just someone to talk him through and believe in him in return. only to be turned down because another appointment is already scheduled. because the customer is king and because there is a line to wait in. he can’t take a chance he’s never given in the first place, so he reverts. the cycle never breaks.

laurie, who stays with the friends who make her miserable. lochlan, who drinks the seeds following in his family’s footsteps again but lacks conviction to fully commit, even in death. i could go on.

nothing ever changes. the status quo remains and the cycle continues and the wheel is never broken. you can never escape and, if you’re the one who the system benefits, why would you want to in the first place? lock your cage, throw the key away and enjoy a piña colada that won’t kill you anyway while the world burns.

Jammer's arc this season is making me think of Lou's genius take on Pinocchio as a metaphor for the struggles of Black boyhood and WHEW!!

That constant impossible pressure on his shoulders as he enters adulthood. The way he talks about taking care of his mom and life back home. THE GOAT HOOF COMING OFF HIS CHEST?? Jammer could very easily be my younger brother and so many young guys I know and boy howdy let me tell y'all I burst into tears thinking about all the goat hoofs on all their chests

On a related note, there's something about people (including Sam in this too) who make others feel welcomed that gets overlooked so often - where does that desire come from? Why do you think a charismatic person would prioritize community if it comes so easily to them? I think folks see the "quantity" (so to speak) of the community created and don't consider the quality of those relationships. And yeah you can't ignore the racial aspect of this. The sort of unexamined "this is my Black friend" vibe they are up against in their lives. Jammer and Sam are not just being kind good hearted people. They are searching for something substantive and I really need them both to have moments that let them dig into why that is soon.

I can’t believe we’re finally in a time where Bucky’s story isn’t centered around hydra anymore.

He went from being captain america’s fucked up friend to running a team of even more fucked up people where he’s surprisingly the sanest one.

Also, his new theme? the suit? the hair?? Our boy is in his superhero era.

[thedevilundercover]

The ultimate comedy/angst idea. Tim has issues with authority without even knowing what authority is.

Like he's the pinnacle of latchkey kid. His parents weren't there to tell him no or anything and he has a shit ton of money. In the comics he very clearly goes "lol no" to every rule and has the "ask for forgiveness rather than permission" mindset.

Imagine when Bruce gets his shit together and like wants to start actually parenting Tim rather that Tim parenting him and like it fails miserably.

Bruce, using the BatDad Voice™️: Tim, I forbid you from doing that

Timothy "Rules? I have no clue what that even means" Drake thinking that this was a joke: lmfao that's cute

And maybe Bruce has a little learning arc like wow this kid is fucked up, wow I fucked up. Whoa I got parented by a baby and now that baby has a fucked up sense of self and has matured way too fast and lost it's childhood because I'm an emotional wreck who had to rely on a whole ass baby for emotional and mental support.

DDBA: look at all these corrupt cops wandering around with Punisher logos

Me: (brows rise)

DDBA: Hector won't get a fair trial, you know how the system is

Me: (brows rise further)

DDBA: they would rather spend 5 times the money to jail someone in poverty than feed them

Me, brows now at the level of the ceiling: holy shit we're actually going there

This was one of the things I always wanted to argue with Foggy about in the old show - his belief in letting the system handle things; his belief that the system worked, it just needed a nudge sometimes. But the system doesn't work. Or rather, it works as intended, which is unfairly.

Like damn. I know they stated that in interviews a bit back, that Matt eventually puts the mask back on because he's forced to face the reality that the system doesn't work and DD is needed. That he'll wrestle with this growing realization that even if he continues fighting to fix the system, he HAS to fill this void as Daredevil. But damn, it's another thing to actually see them go for it, and I'm here for it.
