You're all fucking wrong about Catholic Jason he wouldn't feel guilt about Jack shit, ESPECIALLY not killing. He would get the All-Blades and be convinced that this is God's go ahead and divine confirmation that he's right about everything and all of his opinions are valid and everyone who opposes his worldview is a moron blinded by idealism and naivete.
#Jason should have a little bit of a god complex#there are lots of hints towards him being religious#the angel on his headstone his mother being named fucking Catholic a lot of his fire and brimstone beliefs#that whole timeline where he was a priest#but you guys seem to think there's only one way to be Catholic and interpret religious texts#you guys keep writing him like Helena but I am positive that they would disagree vehemently on a lot of things#I know we all want to project our religious guilt on our favorite blorbo but my boy doesn't give a shit#he has never felt guilt about anything because he believes that he is moral and right as much as Bruce and Cass believe they are#dc#jason todd#catholic jason todd#his mother is named Catherine**#I'm not retyping those tags

How did Elesa get a Blitzle as a starter if she's from Sinnoh? (hang on this is ironic she could've learned about warden ingo in school back there)


Blitzle Elesa backstory under cut!
Blitzle was gifted to Elesa so she has an āeasier timeā integrating into Nimbasa by her well meaning dad. This is not the greatest move, since the two feel they are more obligated to stick together then, you know, actually choose each other. Blitzleās meant to be a utility monā he helps charge elesaās hearing aid batteries and basically serves as an emotional support when things get rough. Heās⦠not the biggest fan. (I like to imagine Blitzle was originally part of a battle track, but his IVs arenāt the greatest so they shuffled him out. Heās a bit bitter about that.)

Inciting incident where they actually start taking the proper steps to becoming partners is when Elesa takes a tumble down a hill and Blitzle twists his foreleg going after her. (Local child eats shit! More at 11.)





Theyāre just kids, and theyāre still learning.
(When Elesa decides to challenge the gyms, Blitzleās so excited he accidentally trips their houseās circuits.)
((As for Elesa hearing about Warden Ingo, well⦠thatāll be a future issue.))
((DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY THIS ASK!! TY @scarftale-bryan ))

Yes. YES.
MASTERLIST FOR POKEMON CONTENT:
#boom you get sketches#elesa and blitzle are like. the exact opposite of emmet-tynamo and ingo-litwick i think#while those two WANTED to make things work elesa and blitzle for the longest time just shared the same space and resented each other for it#theyāre BETTER now but like⦠the beginning week was rough#(slaps blitzle) this mf has so many fun traits to project on him. inferiority complex? caretaker burnout? oh BOY.#pokemon#art#sketchbook#hesitant to tag this submas because no patrat children make an appearance#so i shall simply not#myart#ask#mailbox#elesa#blitzle#pokemon elesa#gym leader elesa#pokemon trainer#pokemon bw

rewatching the marvel movies as a thirtysomething adult trying (finally) to heal from 20+ years of severe mental illness and trauma and actually doing the work to do that really hits different. but also not that different. i've never understood the obsessive love the fandom has for tony stark and i understand it even less now.
the avengers within the mcu were never a cohesive unit (or, you know, actual friends) because they were constantly at the mercy of a severely mentally ill billionaire who consistently and unapologetically allowed his trauma and illness to explode outwards and harm others and then he would wallow and whine and use his considerable wealth to attempt to mop up the mess he created. he never got real help. he never put an effort into seriously trying to heal and it damaged not only every single person around him but random citizens and cities.
"but he was a good man at heart!"
yes. he was. that is not enough. that man was unwell and a danger to himself and others. he knew that and yet he continued to cause chaos and spread his trauma to other people. mental illness or not, that is selfish. his sacrifice at the end was noble but it doesn't undo the decade before that.
it's kind of mind boggling that steve, of all people, gets shit on the most in the fandom when the first two captain america movies (notably movies without tony btw) were the only movies with a shred of actual real competency and friendship in them.
#i swear the obsessive love for him has to be projecting or daddy issues#the coddling he gets both by the fandom and the narrative is some serious 'i can fix him' teenage logic#anti tony stark#i would actually like to make it clear that i don't hate tony#he's a complex and fascinating character#but people are always saying 'why weren't the mcu avengers cohesive as a team' and um it's quite blatantly because of tony#also his stans are.........let's go with enablers#wow look at me having an opinion on fandom-y things#i genuinely did not think i could do that anymore#mcu discourse

I like how in the valentines and white day event, kanade doesn't give gifts that she bought with money and instead takes the time and effort into making something instead (hand made candles and a picnic). it's kinda like a love language to her, putting in effort into things she has no prior experience in to express the love she has for the people around her. kanade loves niigo so much and I think that's something people tend to forget or ignore



#everytime someone implies kanade only cares about niigo as pawns to fuel her savior complex and angel dies#there is so much to be said about the fandom's weird obsession with demonizing her because of her savior complex#despite moments like these existing#project sekai#kanade yoisaki

Hey funny crack fic idea. Percy isnāt actually poseidons son. Poseidon looked at a demigod who killed a Minotaur, said hey. Why not pretend to be his dad, give him a blessing, and make him do all this stuff for him? (Yeah, I know it makes no sense, thatās why itās just for shits and giggles)
Anyways, he tells Percy one day, probably after the battle of manhattan, and of course Percy isā¦distraught- doesnāt know what to do with himself. I mean, he didnāt like Poseidon anyway, but heād just been lied to for years? Now he had no idea who his godly parent was, and heād just been abandoned.
Anyways, word gets around camp, obviously, and Chiron and Mr.D are talking about it in the sunroom, playing pinochle and drinking soda. Mr.D gets curious and asksāāWhats Peterās momās name anyway?ā
āOh, sally Jackson.ā Chiron tells him, and Dionysus chokes on his Diet Coke. It couldnāt be, right? He tried to convince himself that wasnāt her name, that wasnāt the name of the woman he hooked up with on the beach, right? But he knew deep down it had to be. Heād been under the impression the woman was on controlābut maybe because he was the god of fertility- she still got pregnant? and oh gods, HE WAS PERSEUS JACKSONS DAD!
Dionysus is just staring ahead all thousand yard stare like, Chiron is confused. And just watches as Dionysus slowly puts his head in his hands. Heād always felt weirdly attached to the kid. But then he was claimed by Poseidon, (in my mind Dionysus would never knowingly be a dead-beat, he just genuinely didnāt know percy was his son) so- Percy was definitely gonna meet a terrible fate, as a son of the big three. So he didnāt let him self grow attached. But now he understood why.
With a despaired sigh from Dionysus, across campāa wine glass appears over percy Jacksonās head and grape vines grow into a sort of flower/grape crown around his head. Everyone is confused and absolutely shocked. Lots of conversations are gonna happen between Percy and Dio
IM DEFINITELY GONNA CONTINUE THIS- didnāt realize Iād rambled this much but now I gottaaa continue it. Donāt know if Iāll write a fic yet thoughā¦
#pjo fandom#percy jackson#pjo series#percy jackon and the olympians#percy pjo#moodboard#dionysus pjo#mr d pjo#perseus jackson#dionysus and percy#Dionysus is Percyās dad bro#pjo hoo toa#percy is just trying to process that he was justā¦chosen and used for years#then abandoned- when suddenly A WINE GLASS IS PROJECTED OVER HIS HEAD????#dio is already through the five stages of grief#so many emotions- HES THIS KIDS DAD??? and then a wave of guilt comes through#justā¦.so many complex emotions for both involved#this is a lot deeper than I originally plannedā¦I just kinda started writing then took off. now this doesnāt really seem like a crack AU#what should I call this au

re: sympathetic ganondorf vs evil for evilās sake ganondorf, i think this is misrepresenting and underselling whatās actually offputting to people
āiām evil because iām evilā or āiām evil because demise is evilā and the associated lust for power simply for its own sake has always been lame and low effort. thereās a reason itās āshit tierā on the classic āvillain motive tiersā thing
āiām evil but thereās enough nuance to make the player at least somewhat sympathetic to me even if iām still ultimately a bad guyā is a good thing that people like? iāve never personally interacted with a zelda player who thinks windwaker ganondorf ruined the character or anything - heās generally regarded as the gold standard of villain writing both in and out of zelda. this is roughly āhigh tierā on the tier chart
āactually TWIST iām not evil at all, itās the good guys who were evil all along, iāve done nothing wrong and iām completely justified in my righteous quest against the status quo, youāre the real secret true villain for being complicit in preserving itā is technically regarded as āelder god tierā on the motive tier chart but i would personally label it as āoscar bait tierā. these things *can* be compelling in conversation with the existing landscape, but often it comes across as a deliberate effort to subvert the audienceās expectations for the sake of being unpredictable (or worse, for the sake of proving youāre the smartest one in the room). in separate works where this conversation/critique is the entire point (eg. Watchmen or The Boys), thatās not necessarily a bad thing, and the audience sets their expectations accordingly. in an established, long-running franchise, however, this almost always reads as dripping with contempt for the audience, like walking into a room and going āyou morons like this shit? let me, a person much smarter than you, explain what itās Actually about, because youāre an idiot if youāve been a fan of this series before nowā
on top of that, in the context of a series like zelda, this type of story feels myopic and disrespectful to the future of the series. āwelp i burned down the 20+ years of lore behind this character so i could do a deconstruction, good luck using them in any capacity in the future, sounds like a you problemā
all this is to say, i think itās a bit disingenuous/strawman-y to suggest that people put off by this want ganondorf to have 0 depth at all. thereās a lot of room for different kinds of depth, itās just that the trend of the last decade has been for ādepthā to mean ācondescending deconstructionā
Hey!
Thanks for taking the time to write this ask, I think it warrants an interesting conversation. To me, there's like, a lot of things about what you're saying, and tbh I do see where you're coming from --in part.
First thing first... No yeah unfortunately some people Are hostile to even WW Ganondorf. It's been a rising trend in the fandom since TotK was released --people being very against the concept of any additional complexity to the character, either not getting it or considering anything he says pure manipulation that doesn't even warrant a conversation, literally making fun of people who were intrigued by this and wanting more out of this particular thread. This position not only absolutely exists within the fandom --less so on tumblr, I'll agree there-- but it's not even hard to stumble upon as a pretty regular opinion that gets tossed around. I had some interesting asks thrown my way, let's say. The idea that Ganondorf is a remotely interesting character that deserves more thought than what he gets is very much Extremely not the norm, and the very fact that you, as a fan, likes him as a guy is perceived as weird and missing the point by a lot of people. Like a lot a lot of people.
So I'll just... I guess I haven't clarified my position in a while, so I will reclarify my position on our favorite evil dude: I do like him perfectly fine as a villain, I do not want him to be "redeemed" by the narrative, I think he works fantastically as an ongoing threat, I think they could make him even scarier and more offputting and that would be super fun and thrilling... and I also think he already is complex. Like, inherently. Everything Nintendo has been putting into him since his first appearance is complicated --even their attempts at flattening him back in TotK do not fully work because they can't scrub him of the extremely loaded ideas they injected into him from the get-go. Nobody forced Nintendo to do a Mega Orientalism when inventing him, nobody made them write the NPCs to have this super weird antagonistic relationship to the gerudos in OoT, nobody made them have all this lore of the one man born every hundred years, raised by twin witches --and then nobody made them press on that tension point in Wind Waker explicitely, and then, in a more subtle fashion, in TP too. Nobody forced their hand when it came to having the strange "round ear" situation, suggesting (confirmed even, in additional canon) gerudos are born unblessed. The fact of the matter is: everything to make the relationship between Hyrule and the gerudos complicated has been there since 1998. There's no need for a Switcharoo to prove that anyone is smarter than the audience: everything messy has always been baked within the worldbuilding itself. It's in the cartridges already!!
Perspective on it is what could change, though --because, except in Wind Waker, we never get even a hint of a sense that we should think, as an audience, that Hyrule's super weird relationship to the gerudos is maybe questionable. Worth thinking about at least. Which, given the optics, is wild to me that to bring this particular can of worms up is still very largely considered crazy talk within the fandom (that, or the Sheikah situation across the series, also insane in many ways). And yes, it would perhaps lead to themes that are a bit heavier than what Zelda has been overtly dealing with (though, again, Majora's Mask exists --and I do find a lot of unpacked ideas in the Wild Era, like the very unquestionned gerudo bridal pipeline, very uhhh unfortunate already if I'm being honest --even moreso because it is unquestioned). But Zelda, when well handled narratively, can do wonderful things with evocative subtext, open doors never fully crossed, a lynchian pressure on what should feel offputting. We don't even need a sad monologue about it. It doesn't even need to be handled explicitely. But I think the pressure point is just better when understood and incorporated in some form, instead of being denied so hard the world itself start to feel incomplete and unlived.
I do want to say... I get what you mean with the whole "oscar bait" thing. There has been, historically and in recent years, a tendency to be driven by an external, almost panicked sense of morality rather than by the internal drive of a story, its internal thematic logic. I also do think it can feel very corporate, very "Disney looking back at its own movies and scrubbing off everything Buzzfeed deemed problematic in 2014 while making everything glossy and lifeless and awful" and it's not that great!!! and tbh I can't say I would trust Nintendo to handle any appreciation for the fact that the story of an eternal golden kingdom cheering on beating the evil outsiders who want to corrupt everything good and pure and blonde about that perfect inherently good place, is like, extremely not neutral. It absolutely is a delicate thread to weave, and I agree that putting a definitive end to Hyrule is probably not the smartest IP move to do. But, Hyrule doesn't have to be condemned as Bad, it can be merely complicated. And ongoing, regardless. To keep on with the Disney parallel: The Lion King would feel weird if we started to peel off the internal politics of the hyenas, it's just not the right place for it, when everything about this story revolves around the Righteousness of the Divine Right to Rule. But if the Lion King was an ongoing series that had been looping on itself for a while... wouldn't it make sense to figure out how to achieve majesty by studying other angles too, eventually? Is it that strange to suggest the exercise is like, possible? That it can be handled with artistry and soul?
I feel like... Yes, to acknowledge Ganondorf's humanity --not even to coddle it, just to acknowledge it-- implies taking in everything that makes him who he is, and that might rattle some foundational ideas about why this ancestral fight is even happening in the first place. I also do not think it means that he must be Good now. He can still punch a child and cackle maniacally, he can still be unredeemable --he can still destroy himself and others out of the most unconstructive spite ever, and we can still see the purpose in defeating him while basking in the "yea....." left in his wake (Wind Waker did that!!! Wind Waker did that and then we had more Zelda games!! crazy how that happened). This is hardly undoable. It does take some narrative skill, and some commitment to taking a bit of a risk, but Ganondorf is genuinely unmanageable as a character if you insist on your refusal to acknowledge his foundations --and I think it's partially why TotK's story is such a mess. He sells a TON, but you can't have him breathe slightly too loud without risking the entire world falling apart. They did try in TotK, so very hard, and to me they still failed--as insane as he behaves, Hyrule still doesn't come out of this looking good or particularly justified, because the very central core of Ganondorf's character is to be subjugated, and then rebelling in a destructive and brutally selfish, uncompromising manner that ends up robbing him of humanity --and the discomfort of that premise will therefore always haunt the conversation. Nintendo dug themselves into that mess. I feel like a lot of the Ganondorf fans I know merely... point at that. At the mess. And I feel like the longer the games avoid this mess, the more coats of spinach green they slather ontop of his skin, and the more nonsensical characterization they pile up, and the more Ganondorf will become a parody of who he once was, and what made him compelling to begin with.
And to top it all off, as if he wasn't contentious and complicated enough to handle already, they leaned into the internet turning him into a sex symbol for some fucking reason??? Yeah I genuinely have no idea how Nintendo will manage this dude moving forward, because to me, he is, at best, an endless source of (very lucrative) headaches, and at worst a ticking time bomb. I'm not sure how long they can get away with that TotKification strategy, is what I mean.
(Also: I tried to not overdwell on all the incredibly complicated conversation re: race and orientalism, but it's borderline impossible to have this conversation without acknowledging that I have never seen a major pop culture villain receive more pushback against "woobification" than him, and I don't think it's a complete coincidence let's say :) )
#asks#ganondorf#totk critical#(a bit)#thanks for the ask!#yeah it's complicated#I do understand the fear of deconstructing things without purpose --it does happen#I feel like it's kind of both a thing that happens and a thing that ends up soaking in all the DEI moral panic being flung around too#when to me these two things are like... not that connected honestly#(I have very pointed experiences to inform this take --but like it's a super complicated convo honestly and hhh tired)#there's incredibly soulful deconstuction --and there's terrified corporate deconstruction --and there's whacky lol random deconstruction#and not to over-pry anon but you seem to mention a lot this idea of āthe writers wanting to be smarter than the audienceā#and like... I won't say that it doesn't happen but I feel like this spiteful self-satisfied intent behind creative decisions is kind of...#at the very least it's hard to prove#I'm not saying this sort of anticipatory behavior to the point of betraying artistic intent isn't a thing. it absolutely is.#but I feel like a lot of the worse expressions of this backlash recently was honestly mostly projection#people generally want to do good art or capitulate under circumstances too difficult to surmount#(source: aaaaaa. hfgfhfgfh. death by gamedev.)#or just kind of fumbled their shit too that happens! sometimes you don't do a good job at art :(#but I think that rejecting complexity --or like the possibility of committing to complicated delicate ideas because it could flop#is no more helpful to art than living in fear of being called out for doing a moral wrongness#at some point you gotta imagine you can nail the concept and execution of what matters to you --because you can#things can be good and rich and simple and also complicated and it's possible and we don't have to live in fear of messing it up#that's my personal take at least

#mine#aftg#kevin day#andrew minyard#cc#andrew hated it when drunk kevin got like this#screaming crying throwing things panicking. thats the kevin he can handle#but quiet drunk kevin.#the one that stares reverently up at him when he slots his hand against the back of kev's neck#the one that looks at him like a saviour#like he hung the moon and the stars all for kevin#the one that calls him things like 'talented' and 'amazing'#the one that clings to him like a lifeline#thats the drunk kevin andrew couldnt stand#not because he hated him for it#far from it#but because andrew was only a man#his self control could only take him so far when all he wanted to do#was hold kevins face and press their foreheads together and tell him how stupid he was#to share the same air as the drunken prodigy sitting in front of him#leaning close and breathing each other in.#to trace the contours of kevins pretty crying face with more than just his gaze#anyways ANYWAYS sorry if its ooc im tired and wanted kandrew#kandreil is my bread and butter my pride and joy i love it in every form. but.#something about kandrew.#something something projecting#something something saviour complex#dont look at me

Seeing everyone say vi deserves better and caitlyns an abuser after watching everyone call vi an abuser after s1 released
#guys im gonna be so honest none of yall are beating the ācant handle complex female characterā allegations#caitlyn kiramman#vi arcane#arcane#arcane fandom critical#i was in the trenches i remember yall calling vi a predatory abuser#now yall wanna act dumb. get real#also js jinx beat the shit out of vi and she never gets called an abuser. wonder why eh#no one demands an apology from jinx#for the record bc reading comprehensions in the shitter#you can dislike any of them#its the fuckin. wild ass accusations and projecting your issues with your mom and ex onto them#like you can just say you dont like the character and leave it it doesnt need to become your personality#its the skylar white-ification of any female character you dislike

Ui idea tests, thrown together bc im eepy. Was planning on doing more but I spent all my days energy on the second one oops
#Danny phantom#I need to draw more or Iāll die <- guy whoās meds exhaust them#writing is so hard how do u not make everyone sound like you through a bad filter#Ik thatās unavoidable in some ways (like how art style will always look like u did it+not someone else)#but ugh. Iāll figure it out eventually takes practice+learning+all that#was planning on writing today but then I though āhuh it might b fun to make some fake āāscreenshotāā concepts#also the portal basement has a more complex design but again#eepy#I think the gimmicky MySpace-inspired boxes r fun but idk how well I could keep that theme going w/ some characters#I also never used MySpace so thatās maybe just a kill issue#*skill lol#the command prompt one would basically just be for the portal#I keep saying that this project isnāt feasible buy my hyperfixated ass keeps trying anyways
